description: This thesis identifies the archaeological and non-archaeological signatures of rural Christianization in the French department of the Yvelines. It questions the roots of Christianization from the influence of villae and Gallo-Roman cult sites to settlement development, and Gallo-Roman and early medieval necropoleis; it also identifies patterns, ruptures, continuities, and discontinuities as well as historical sequences of Christianization after Antiquity. I have created maps for each step to analyze spatial patterns and determine blank spots in the distribution map; this exercise also allows the identification of potential early churches. The thesis further discusses the role of monasteries across the early medieval to medieval periods as well as their influence on settlement development, and questions parish growth and parish networks. Special attention is paid to less well-researched areas such as prieurés-cures, proprietary churches, and leprosaria. I also explore the main players of early and continued Christianization – lords, saints, and bishops, but without neglecting the ‘ordinary’ people. Finally, this thesis identifies gaps in the current research on rural Christianization in Gaul/France, and debates the processes, character, and significance of late and slow Christianization.These research questions are examined with the help of an extensive Gazetteer of sites which includes published archaeological and historical data.

description: We present the first X-ray detection of SNR 0450-70.9 the largest known supernova remnant (SNR) in the Large Magellanic Cloud. To study the physical conditions of this SNR, we have obtained XMM-Newton X-ray observations, optical images and high-dispersion spectra, and radio continuum maps. Optical images of SNR 0450-70.9 show a large, irregular elliptical shell with bright filaments along the eastern and western rims and within the shell interior. The interior filaments have higher [S II]/Halpha ratios and form an apparent inner shell morphology. The X-ray emission region is smaller than the full extent of the optical shell, with the brightest X-ray emission found within the small interior shell and on the western rim of the large shell. The expansion velocity of the small shell is ~220 km/s, while the large shell is ~120 km/s. The radio image shows central brightening and a fairly flat radio spectral index over the SNR. However, no point X-ray or radio source corresponding to a pulsar is detected and the X-ray emission is predominantly thermal. Therefore, these phenomena can be most reasonably explained in terms of the advanced age of the large SNR. Using hydrodynamic models combined with a nonequilibrium ionization model for thermal X-ray emission, we derived a lower limit on the SNR age of about 45,000 yr, well into the later stages of SNR evolution. Despite this, the temperature and density derived from spectral fits to the X-ray emission indicate that the remnant is still overpressured, and thus that the development is largely driven by hot gas in the SNR interior.

description: We study the Single-Parton-Scattering (SPS) production of double quarkonia (J/psi+J/psi, J/psi+Upsilon, and Upsilon+Upsilon) in pp and pp(bar) collisions at the LHC and the Tevatron as measured by the CMS, ATLAS, LHCb, and D0 experiments in the Colour-Evaporation Model (CEM), based on the quark-hadron-duality, including Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) QCD corrections up to alpha_s^5. To do so, we also perform the first true NLO --up to alpha_s^4-- study of the p_T-differential cross section for single-quarkonium production. This allows us to fix the non-perturbative CEM parameters at NLO accuracy in the region where quarkonium-pair data are measured. Our results show that the CEM at NLO in general significantly undershoots these experimental data and, in view of the other existing SPS studies, confirm the need for Double Parton Scattering (DPS) to account for the data. Our NLO study of single-quarkonium production at mid and large p_T also confirms the difficulty of the approach to account for the measured p_T spectra; this is reminiscent of the impossibility to fit single-quarkonium data with the sole 3S18 NRQCD contribution from gluon fragmentation. We stress that the discrepancy occurs in a kinematical region where the new features of the improved CEM are not relevant.

description: Introduction : Food consumption accounts for 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. Certain foods have higher emissions than others and are often the target of policy makers to reduce greenhouse gasses associated with food consumption. However, food policy should aim to address both climatic and health imbalances concurrently and hence have more significant impact. Targeting excessive food consumption as a mitigation strategy for greenhouse gas emissions may also have a concurrent impact on the global obesity epidemic Objective: To evaluate the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) associated with the excessive food and energy intake in Irish adults. Methods: A secondary analysis of nationally representative data from the National Adult Food & Nutrition Survey, 2011, was conducted. The demographic characteristics, food consumption patterns and diet-associated GHGEs were compared across categories of increasing levels of relative energy intake. One-way ANOVA (p<0.05) was used to determine the level of significance across quintiles of relative energy intake. Results: Different dietary patterns were evident between the categories of varying relative energy intake. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.736; p< 0.001) was evident between dietary GHGE and the EI relative to one’s requirements. In Irish diets, animal products contributed to a large proportion of total dietary GHGE but accounted for much less of overall EI. Plant-based foods were the lowest contributors to total GHGE. When constructing strategies to mitigate dietary carbon emissions, it is important to carefully consider all aspects of sustainability. The exclusion of certain food groups from the average diet may provoke health, economical and/or cultural repercussions. An adherence to the Irish dietary guidelines, including a decrease of EI, can viably attenuate dietary environmental impact Conclusions: The results offer further evidence to support the hypothesis that excessive energy consumption and the overconsumption of certain food types are detrimental to overall diet-associated carbon emissions levels, and that adhering to the current Irish dietary guidelines can potentially lower dietary related GHGE.
Weak lensing mass reconstruction of the interacting cluster 1E0657-558: Direct evidence for the existence of dark matter

description: We present a weak lensing mass reconstruction of the interacting cluster 1E0657-558 in which we detect both the main cluster and a sub-cluster. The sub-cluster is identified as a smaller cluster which has just undergone initial in-fall and pass-through of the primary cluster, and has been previously identified in both optical surveys and X-ray studies. The X-ray gas has been separated from the galaxies by ram-pressure stripping during the pass-through. The detected mass peak is located between the X-ray peak and galaxy concentration, although the position is consistent with the galaxy centroid within the errors of the mass reconstruction. We find that the mass peak for the main cluster is in good spatial agreement with the cluster galaxies and offset from the X-ray halo at 3.4 sigma significance, and determine that the mass-to-light ratios of the two components are consistent with those of relaxed clusters. The observed offsets of the lensing mass peaks from the peaks of the dominant visible mass component (the X-ray gas) directly demonstrate the presence, and dominance, of dark matter in this cluster. This proof of the dark matter existence holds true even under the assumption of modified Newtonian gravity (MOND); from the observed gravitational shear to optical light ratios and mass peak - X-ray gas offsets, the dark matter component in a MOND regime has a total mass which is at least equal to the baryonic mass of the system.

description: While microlensing is very rare, occurring on average once per million stars observed, current and near-future surveys are coming online with the capability of providing photometry of almost the entire visible sky to depths up to R ~ 22 mag or fainter every few days, which will contribute to the detection of black holes and exoplanets through follow-up observations of microlensing events. Based on galactic models, we can expect microlensing events across a vastly wider region of the galaxy, although the cadence of these surveys (2-3 per day ) is lower than traditional microlensing surveys, making efficient detection a challenge. Rapid advances are being made in the utility of time-series data to detect and classify transient events in real-time using very high data-rate surveys, but limited work has been published regarding the detection of microlensing events, particularly for when the data streams are of relatively low-cadence. In this research, we explore the utility of a Random Forest algorithm for identifying microlensing signals using time-series data, with the goal of creating an efficient machine learning classifier that can be applied to search for microlensing in wide-field surveys even with low-cadence data. We have applied and optimized our classifier using the OGLE-II microlensing dataset, in addition to testing with PTF/iPTF survey data and the currently operating ZTF, which applies the same data handling infrastructure that is envisioned for the upcoming LSST.

description: Structural and elastic properties of Ba$_{2}$P$_{7}$X (X=Cl, Br, I) (Barium Phosphide Halides) Zintl compounds have been investigated using the pseudo-potential plane-wave (PP-PW) method based on the density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA-PBESOL). The calculated lattice constants and internal parameters are in a good agreement with the experimental results reported in literature. In this paper, we present an investigation of the relative changes of the structural parameters and elastic constants as function of hydrostatic pressure. Isotropic elastic moduli and their related properties for single-crystal and polycrystalline phase, including the namely bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, elastic anisotropy indexes, Pugh's indicator of brittle/ductile behavior, elastic wave velocities and Debye temperature have been estimated from $C_{ij}$ using Voigt, Russ and Hill approximations. Two different methods have been used to study the elastic anisotropy of these compounds.

D-branes and complex curves in c=1 string theory

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We give a geometric interpretation for D-branes in the c=1 string theory. The geometric description is provided by complex curves which arise in both CFT and matrix model formulations. On the CFT side the complex curve appears from the partition function on the disk with Neumann boundary conditions on the Liouville field (FZZ brane). In the matrix model formulation the curve is associated with the profile of the Fermi sea of free fermions. These two curves are not the same. The latter can be seen as a certain reduction of the former. In particular, it describes only (m,1) ZZ branes, whereas the curve coming from the FZZ partition function encompasses all (m,n) branes. In fact, one can construct a set of reductions, one for each fixed n. But only the first one has a physical interpretation in the corresponding matrix model. Since in the linear dilaton background the singularities associated with the ZZ branes degenerate, we study the c=1 matrix model perturbed by a tachyon potential where the degeneracy disappears. From the curve of the perturbed model we give a prediction how D-branes flow with the perturbation and derive the two-point bulk correlation function on the disk with the FZZ boundary conditions.

Studies in Urban Space in English Towns. Part A: An Examination of Late Medieval Social Space and Part B: Surviving Late Medieval District Character and How it was Viewed c.1900 to 1972

description: Most of Britain’s larger towns have lost their former medieval character. In many cases, only isolated medieval buildings or fragments remain, isolated amongst modern buildings and streets and with little interpretation or context. Changes to the topography, built environment and streets in British towns are little understood. This thesis is examines medieval urban space and character in four towns: Coventry, Leicester, Gloucester and Southampton. The thesis is presented in two parts.Part A examines late medieval neighbourhood character in the four towns during the late medieval period, c.1350 to c.1540. Previous scholars have identified areas of distinctive character such as ecclesiastical or defensive zones in late medieval towns. Social zoning and neighbourhoods of distinct social character have not been examined in detail, and rich and poor are assumed to have lived side by side. My interdisciplinary approach attempts to show for the first time how we can go beyond the documentary data to inform our understanding of areas of distinct character in the late medieval period, focusing on four towns.Part B examines what remained of medieval district character in the four towns, against a backdrop of changing attitudes to historic buildings and town planning and redevelopment nationally. The thesis makes use of mostly unpublished information available in national and local archives to show how medieval archaeology and standing buildings have been viewed during the changes to British towns and cities over the last 100 years. At a time when studies show that a ‘sense of place’ is important to many in contemporary communities, and when local authorities are currently reviewing how to reverse some of the more recent urban changes, such as inner ring roads, informing the debate about the character of the late medieval town is timely.

description: Irish beef farms have experienced poor viability longitudinally, reaching crisis levels in 2013. In response to this, beef Producer Organisation (PO) legislation was introduced in 2016 to allow Irish beef farmers to negotiate collectively for the first time and to allow for a greater integration of beef farmers to the supply chain. Given this new enabling environment for collective action among beef farmers and current policy objectives to add value to Irish beef, this research focuses on a US based development paradigm Middle’(AotM) which simultaneously fulfils these objectives. AotM posits that family farms the ‘Agriculture of the must transition from a supply chain to a values-based supply chain (VBSC) approach, involving amendments to both product type and actor dynamics within the chain, to ensure future sustainability. This paper presents a qualitative case study of a US based beef co-operative integrated to a VBSC. We use an analytical framework of viability, sustainability and resilience to analyse impacts at farm-level. Our analysis highlights a number of positive effects on farm-level viability, sustainability and resilience including improvements to market orientation and price stability, among others which provide crucial insights for beef PO development in Ireland. Furthermore, this paper outlines current Irish stakeholder views towards beef POs and highlights some potential caveats of such an approach in the Irish context.
50 years after the Agrarian Reform in Chile: reflections and lessons

Year: 2018
Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: The agrarian reform carried out between 1965 and 1973 was the result of legitimate problems in pre-reform rural society, of which slow agricultural growth was one major determinant. Ultimately the reform failed to achieve its initial objectives in terms of accelerating growth but had a profound social and political impact in rural areas. This text contributes to the literature on the objectives and outcomes of agricultural reform in Chile by raising arguments and evidence regarding various components of the process. The key lessons from this analysis are that the leaders behind the agrarian reform misinterpreted their diagnosis about the causes behind the slow growth of agriculture, attributing this slow growth to farm tenure system at the time, ignoring the adverse impact on the sector of economy-wide policies. Additionally, simply paying attention to similar agricultural reform processes worldwide may have helped the reformers avoid the Asentamientos disappointing performance. These lessons are relevant to continuing debates on the interphase between land tenure structure and agricultural policies.

Spectra have been taken of member candidates at the MMT telescope using Hectospec, Hectochelle and Binospec, which provide more than 1800 new velocities. Combined with proper motion measurements of stars in the field by the Gaia - DR2 catalog, we have derived stream membership probabilities, resulting in the detection of more than 200 likely members. These data show the stream extends to more than three times the length shown in the discovery data. A spur to the main stream is also detected. The high resolution spectra allow us to resolve the stellar velocity dispersion, found to be $1.6 \pm 0.3 $ km/sec.

description: We report on measurements of the cosmological constant, Lambda, and the redshift space distortion parameter beta=Omega_m^0.6/b, based on an analysis of the QSO power spectrum parallel and perpendicular to the observer's line of sight, from the final catalogue of the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey. We derive a joint Lambda - beta constraint from the geometric and redshift-space distortions in the power spectrum. By combining this result with a second constraint based on mass clustering evolution, we break this degeneracy and obtain strong constraints on both parameters. Assuming a flat cosmology and a Lambda cosmology r(z) function to convert from redshift into comoving distance, we find best fit values of Omega_Lambda=0.71^{+0.09}_{-0.17} and beta(z~1.4)=0.45^{+0.09}_{-0.11}. Assuming instead an EdS cosmology r(z) we find that the best fit model obtained, with Omega_Lambda=0.64^{+0.11}_{-0.16} and beta(z~1.4)=0.40^{+0.09}_{-0.09}, is consistent with the Lambda r(z) results, and inconsistent with a Lambda=0 flat cosmology at over 95 per cent confidence.

description: Prices volatility is one of the critical problems that highly affects smallholder producer s income and so, might contribute to deeper poverty. This study applies both portfolio and stochastic simulation analysis to decision of governance structures (GS) selection to find the income that can allow producers to maximize their revenue and minimize the risk of its fluctuation. Data were collected in Benin in 2015 about 300 rice producers. The respondents were randomly selected from forty-one (41) villages. The simulations of the incomes generated by the highest revenue portfolio and the lowest risk one indicate that for both a risk averse and a risk loving producer, the optimal portfolio consist of selling 17% and 83% of their production through spot market and formal contract, respectively, in the case of two GS. In the case of three GS, the best portfolio consists of selling 13%, 57%, and 30% of the production through spot market, formal contract, and farmer association. Finally, a portfolio that consist of selling 10%, 25%, 43%, and 22% of the production through spot market, informal contract, formal contract, and farmers association, respectively, is the best one in the case of four GS.

A New Deconstruction of Little String Theory

description: We present evidence for a new deconstruction of Little String Theory (LST). The starting point is a four-dimensional conformal field theory on its Higgs branch which provides a lattice regularization of six-dimensional gauge theory. We argue that the corresponding continuum limit is a 't Hooft large-N limit of the same four-dimensional theory on an S-dual confining branch. The AdS/CFT correspondence is then used to study this limit in a controlled way. We find that the limit yields LST compactified to four dimensions on a torus of fixed size. The limiting theory also contains other massive and massless states which are completely decoupled. The proposal can be adapted to deconstruct Double-Scaled Little String Theory and provides the first example of a large-N confining gauge theory in four dimensions with a fully tractable string theory dual.

Delays in the information about the servers' state leads to oscillations in load. Servers can give false information about their state (global disinformation) or refuse service to individual clients (local disinformation). We discuss the tradeoff between positive effects of disinformation (attenuation of oscillations) and negative effects (increased fluctuations and reduced adaptability) for different parameter values.

description: Additional file 10 Figure S3. The concept of nuclear expressed gene expansion supplementing atypical mitochondrial DNA. A previous study has shown that the coconut crab’s mitochondrial tDNAs are notably mutated compared to other anomurans. In the present study, we observed within the nuclear genome of the coconut crab highly proliferated genes that are annotated with mitochondrial and microtubule function, and a massively proliferated kinesin, kif22, that has the most mitochondrial targeting signals within its homologous gene sequences compared to other decapods. This points to the nuclear expressed protein complement having a more prominent supplementary role with respect to the mitochondrion in the coconut crab. This ideogram was drawn with Google Drawings.

description: Fractons are a new type of quasiparticle which are immobile in isolation, but can often move by forming bound states. Fractons are found in a variety of physical settings, such as spin liquids and elasticity theory, and exhibit unusual phenomenology, such as gravitational physics and localization. The past several years have seen a surge of interest in these exotic particles, which have come to the forefront of modern condensed matter theory. In this review, we provide a broad treatment of fractons, ranging from pedagogical introductory material to discussions of recent advances in the field. We begin by demonstrating how the fracton phenomenon naturally arises as a consequence of higher moment conservation laws, often accompanied by the emergence of tensor gauge theories. We then provide a survey of fracton phases in spin models, along with the various tools used to characterize them, such as the foliation framework. We discuss in detail the manifestation of fracton physics in elasticity theory, as well as the connections of fractons with localization and gravitation. Finally, we provide an overview of some recently proposed platforms for fracton physics, such as Majorana islands and hole-doped antiferromagnets. We conclude with some open questions and an outlook on the field.

Interplanetary Magnetic Field Influence on Flux Transfer Events at Mercury

description: Reconnection between the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and Mercury’s intrinsic magnetospheric field at the dayside magnetopause drives the Dungey Cycle of magnetic flux. The formation of subsequent evolution of large magnetic structures known as flux transfer events (FTEs) therefore represents an important contribution to magnetospheric dynamics. This thesis presents three studies investigating the factors influencing the rate and location of FTEs, as well as the nature of their subsequent motion and evolution. Flux transfer events in the dayside magnetosphere of Mercury have been visually identified using 12 Mercury years of Magnetometer data from the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft, covering the period from March 2011 to February 2014. The dependence of the observation rate on the orientation of the IMF in the magnetosheath is investigated, showing a clear preference for FTE formation during periods of southward IMF, and therefore antiparallel reconnection. The locations of the FTE observations have also been analysed along with their direction of motion, in order to investigate the location and orientation of the average reconnection X-line for different IMF orientations. The motions are also used to produce a map showing the convection of the magnetic field in the dayside magnetosphere. Finally, differences in the magnetic field signatures of the observed FTEs with various parameters, including IMF strength and orientation, are probed through the use of superposed epoch analysis. The results provide evidence of FTE rotation with increased distance from the subsolar point, as well as compression of the leading edge of the structure as it moves through the surrounding magnetic field and plasma.

Essays on the Economics of Inequality

description: This thesis is comprised of three chapters which focus on inequality, and more closely, on the trends in inequality over time. Firstly, the second chapter addresses the issue of non-random selection into employment in the intergenerational mobility literature, by applying bounds to the distribution of wages conditional on parent income. We use the labour market attachment of the mother as a novel instrumental variable to tighten the bounds to the distribution of earnings. We find that there are substantial differences between parent income groups and changes over time by son's and daughter's. We find college to be important for all groups, but particularly for daughters. In addition, there is evidence of converging wages between sons and daughters for all parent income types over time.The third chapter looks at the idea of a society in which everybody is the same at the same stage of the life-cycle will exhibit substantial income and wealth inequality. We use this idea to empirically quantify natural inequality - the share of observed inequality attributable to life- cycle profiles of income and wealth. We document that recent increases in inequality in developed countries are larger than observed rates would suggest. Extrapolating our measures forward suggests that natural inequalities will fluctuate over the next 20 years before settling to a new higher level.Finally, in the fourth chapter, we document that male median Zeal incomes have been lower than that of their forebears, at every age, for the last 30 years. We show that this is true across the life-cycle, and that younger generations have had to wait longer to reach peak earnings. Further analysis shows that this decline is particularly concentrated on high-school graduates. We further decompose the decline in labour share being more prominent for later generations, across most industries.

description: The field of topological photonics emerged as one of the most promising areas for applications in transformative technologies: possible applications are in topological lasers or quantum optics interfaces. Nevertheless, efficient and simple methods for diagnosing the topology of optical systems remain elusive for an important part of the community. In this tutorial, we provide a summary of numerical methods to calculate topological invariants emerging from the propagation of light in photonic crystals. We first describe the fundamental properties of wave propagation in lattices with a space-dependent periodic electric permittivity. Next, we provide an introduction to topological invariants; proposing an optimal strategy to calculate them through the numerical evaluation of Maxwell's equation in a discretized reciprocal space. Finally, we will complement the tutorial with a few practical examples of photonic crystal systems showing different topological properties, such as photonic valley-Chern insulators, photonic crystals presenting an "obstructed atomic limit", photonic systems supporting fragile topology and finally photonic Chern insulators, where we also periodically modulated the magnetic permeability.

When the Wind Blows: Spatial Spillover Effects of Urban Air Pollution

description: This paper investigates the existence and magnitude of air pollution spillovers in Chinese cities. Estimation of this spillover effect is complicated because neighboring cities share similar business/pollution cycles and changes in wind direction can be fairly frequent. To circumvent these empirical challenges, we exploit spatial and temporal variations in PM10 concentrations for 108 major cities in China s Eastern Monsoon Region during the East Asian winter and summer monsoon seasons. We find large pollution spillover effects: a city s average PM10 concentration increases by 0.09-0.21 units during the winter monsoon season and by 0.06-0.10 units during the summer monsoon season, if PM10 concentrations in cities upwind of this city increase by one unit. The percentage contributions of PM10 pollution from upwind cities to local PM10 levels vary by region and can be as large as 30%. These findings are comparable to the existing atmospheric evidence. Our findings suggest that pollution control policies must be coordinated between cities to abate urban air pollution. Acknowledgement :

description: Reducing undernutrition requires improving access to goods and services from a wide range of economic and social sectors, including agriculture, education and health. Yet despite broad agreement on the multisectoral nature of the global burden of undernutrition, relatively little research has analyzed how different dimensions of accessibility, such as urbanization and travel times to urban centers, affect child nutrition and dietary outcomes. In this paper we study these relationships in sub-Saharan Africa, a highly rural continent still severely hindered by remoteness problems. We link spatial data on travel times to 20,000 person cities to survey data from 10,900 communities in 23 countries. We document strong negative associations between nutrition indicators and rural livelihoods, but only moderately strong associations with remoteness to cities. Moreover, the harmful effects of remoteness and rural living largely disappear once education, wealth, and social/infrastructural services indicators are added to the model. This implies that the key nutritional disadvantage of rural populations stems chiefly from social and economic poverty. Combating these problems requires either an acceleration of urbanization processes, or finding innovative cost-effective mechanisms for extending basic services to isolated rural communities.
