Repetition versus Revision: Narratives in the BBC’s Great War Centenary
Creators: name: Power, Helena
Publisher: name: British Journal for Military History
Year: 2021

description: The BBC’s plans for the First World War Centenary were of significant magnitude. Through 2,500 hours of programming, it sought to broaden knowledge of the conflict across its various media. Yet this objective was occasionally diminished by the resounding presence of popularised tropes about the war. With consideration of two key anniversaries and flagship programmes, this article reflects upon the balance between familiar ideas and new developments, the disconnect between television programming and developing historiography and the use of modern techniques in conveying a new narrative.

description: The stabilization of chiral magnetic spin-structures in thin films is often attributed to the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). Very recently, however, it has been reported that the chirality induced by the DMI can be affected by dipolar interactions. These dipolar fields tend to form Néel caps, which entails the formation of a clockwise chirality at the top of the film and a counterclockwise chirality at the bottom. Here, we show that engineering an alternating DMI that changes sign across the film thickness, together with the tendency to form Néel caps, leads to an enhanced stability of chiral spin-structures. Micromagnetic simulations for skyrmions demonstrate that this can increase the effective DMI in a prototypical [Pt/Co/Ir] multilayer system by at least \SI{0.6}{mJ.m^{-2}}. These gains are comparable to what has been achieved using additive DMI, but more flexible as we are not limited to a select set of material combinations. We also present experimental results: by measuring equilibrium domain widths we quantify the effective DMI in [Pt/Co/Ir] multilayer systems typically used for skyrmion stabilization. Upon introducing an alternating DMI we demonstrate changes in the effective DMI that agree with our simulations. Our results provide a route towards enhancing the stability of chiral spin-structures that does not rely on enlarging the chiral interactions.

Perceptions and realities of the Mediterranean East: French soldiers and the Macedonian Campaign of the First World War
Creators: name: Broucke, Kevin
Publisher: name: British Journal for Military History
Year: 2021

description: The historiography investigating the fate of the 300,000 French and colonial soldiers who served in Macedonia during the First World War remains incomplete. This article offers an analysis focusing on the cultural discovery of the ‘Mediterranean East’ by the French soldiers who served in Macedonia. It utilises the literature produced by the French personnel to define the differences between their imagined representations of the East, and the reality they encountered once they landed in Salonica. It also highlights the Orientalist influence exerted over the minds of many Frenchmen who sailed to an East that remained profoundly unknown.

What’s in a name? Identifying military engagements in Egypt and the Levant, 1915-1918
Creators: name: Pike, Roslyn Shepherd King
Publisher: name: British Journal for Military History
Year: 2021

description: This article examines the official names listed in the 'Egypt and Palestine' section of the 1922 report by the British Army’s Battles Nomenclature Committee and compares them with descriptions of military engagements in the Official History to establish if they clearly identify the events. The Committee’s application of their own definitions and guidelines during the process of naming these conflicts is evaluated together with examples of more recent usages in selected secondary sources. The articles concludes that the Committee’s failure to accurately identify the events of this campaign have had a negative impacted on subsequent historiography.

Broadcasting of entanglement at a distance using linear optics and telecloning of entanglement

Year: 2005

description: We propose a scheme for broadcasting entanglement at a distance based on linear optics. We show that an initial polarization entangled state can be simultaneously split and transmitted to a pair of observers situated at different locations with the help of two conditional Bell-state analyzers based on two beam splitters characterized by the same reflectivity R. In particular for R=1/3 the final states coincide with the output states obtained by the broadcasting protocol proposed by Buzek et al. [Phys. Rev. A 55, 3327 (1997)]. Further we present a different protocol called telecloning of entanglement, which combines the many-to-many teleportation and nonlocal optimal asymmetric cloning of an arbitrary entangled state. This scheme allows the optimal transmission of the two nonlocal optimal clones of an entangled state to two pairs of spatially separated receivers.

Topological structure of Nambu monopole in Two Higgs doublet models -- Fiber bundle, Dirac's quantization and dyon --

description: We find a topologically non-trivial structure of the Nambu monopole in two Higgs doublet model (2HDM), which is a magnetic monopole attached by two topologically stable $Z$ strings ($Z$ flux tubes) from two opposite sides. The structure is in sharp contrast to the topological triviality of the Nambu monopole in the standard model (SM), which is attached by a single non-topological $Z$ string. It is found that the Nambu monopole in 2HDM possesses the same fiber bundle structure with those of the `t Hooft-Polyakov monopole and the Wu-Yang description of the Dirac monopole, as a result of the fact that the electromagnetic gauge field is well-defined even inside the strings and is non-trivially fibered around the monopole, while the Nambu monopole in the SM is topologically trivial because electroweak gauge symmetry is restored at the core of the string. Consequently, the Nambu monopole in 2HDM can be regarded as an embedding of the 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole into the $SU(2)_W$ gauge symmetry, and the Dirac's quantization condition always holds, which is absent for the Nambu monopole in the SM. Furthermore, we construct a dyon configuration attached with the two strings.

Bushman or Boer – Australian Identity in a ‘White Man’s War’, 1899–1902
Creators: name: Wang, Tandee
name: Rogers, Thomas J
Publisher: name: British Journal for Military History
Year: 2021

description: This article considers Australian articulations of identity and representations of Boer soldiers in the South African War. Examining accounts from Australian war correspondents and military personnel, we make three observations. First, that widespread expressions of British Empire loyalty shaped rather than excluded expressions of nascent Australian nationalism. Second, that emergent Australian nationalism, particularly the notion of the ‘bushman’, was central to positive and negative comparisons to Boer soldiers. Finally, that transnational discourses of settler colonialism and whiteness enabled such comparisons, which simultaneously facilitated claims about Australian martial superiority and deceptive Boer indolence, despite noted similarities between bushman and Boer.

description: We present Spitzer infrared imaging of the peculiar galaxy pair Arp 107, and compare with an optical H-alpha map and a numerical model of the interaction. The [3.6 micron] - [4.5 micron] colors of clumps in the galaxy do not vary around the ring-like primary spiral arm and are consistent with those of stars, thus these bands are dominated by starlight. In contrast, the [5.8 micron] - [8.0 micron] colors are consistent with those of interstellar dust, and vary by about 0.2 magnitudes around the ring/spiral, with redder colors associated with regions with stronger star formation as indicated by H-alpha and mid-infrared luminosity. The [4.5 micron] - [5.8 micron] colors for clumps in this arm are bluer than dust and redder than stars, and vary by 1.3 magnitudes around the arm. This color is therefore a measure of the relative number of young stars to old stars, with a redder color indicating a higher proportion of young stars. There is a clear azimuthal sequence in the [4.5] - [5.8] color around the arm, indicating a sequence in average stellar age. The L(H-alpha)/L(8.0 micron) ratio varies around the arm by a factor of ~7; this variation may be due to extinction or to PAH excitation by non-ionizing photons. Our model of Arp 107 accounts for the general morphology of the system, and explains the age variation along the arm as the result of differences in the time of maximum compression in the arm. Using Spitzer colors, we are able to distinguish background quasars and foreground stars from star forming regions associated with Arp 107.

description: The temperature dependence of the magnetization and spin-polarization at the Fermi level is investigated for half-metallic ferromagnets. We reveal a new mechanism, where the hybridization of states forming the half-metallic gap depends on thermal spin fluctuations and the polarization can drop abruptly at temperatures much lower than the Curie point. We verify this for NiMnSb by ab-initio calculations. The thermal properties are studied by mapping ab-initio results to an extended Heisenberg model which includes longitudinal fluctuations and is solved by a Monte Carlo method.
‘Very Prejudicial to the Service of the Revenue’: The British Army on Coastal Duty in Eighteenth-Century East Anglia
Creators: name: Ziegler, Hannes
Publisher: name: British Journal for Military History
Year: 2021

description: Throughout the eighteenth century, one of the main peacetime functions of the British Army was to supplement the Customs in combatting smuggling, but it remains little studied. The article aims to explore the structural features of the cooperation between the British Army and the Customs service on coastal duties by giving particular emphasis to matters of potential conflict. A second aim is to study such matters for the East Anglian counties. The article ultimately aims to show that while successful coastal policing depended on the cooperation between the Customs and the army, the supposedly frictionless cooperation was anything but straightforward.

On the Origin and Evolution of Curvature of the Spectral Energy Distribution of Fermi Bright Blazars

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The origin and evolution of spectral curvature in blazar spectral energy distribution (SED) is still unclear. Since the observed SED curvature is related to an intrinsic curvature in emitting electron energy distribution (EED), we study this question by employing a log-parabolic EED with a curvature parameter and peak energy to model the quasi-simultaneous broadband SEDs of selected blazars in Fermi-LAT Bright AGN Sample (LBAS) using synchrotron and inverse Compton (IC) processes. We find that log-parabolic IC model can successfully explain the emission in all blazars in our sample. On average, FSRQs have higher magnetic field, Doppler factor, and curvature than BL Lac objects. The BL Lac objects show an anticorrelation between the curvature parameter of the EED and its peak energy, which is a signature of stochastic acceleration. FSRQs do not manifest such correlation and rather show a mild positive relationship between these parameters. This suggests that the evolution of spectral curvature in the BL Lac objects is dominated by a strong stochastic acceleration component, whereas the curvature in FSRQs evolves in a cooling dominated regime due to an additional external Compton (EC) component. The strong cooling in FSRQs not only restricts the electron peak energy but also adds extra curvature to the high energy tail of emitting EED. Since the curvature decreases from FSRQs toward high peak BL Lac objects (HBLs), opposite to peak energy, the curvature parameter can be considered a third parameter of the blazar sequence in addition to peak frequency and luminosity.

We describe all group scheme homomorphisms phi:SL(2) --> G whose image is geometrically G-completely reducible -- or G-cr -- in the sense of Serre; the description resembles that of irreducible modules given by Steinberg's tensor product theorem. In case K is algebraically closed and G is simple, the result proved here was previously obtained by Liebeck and Seitz using different methods. A recent result shows the Lie algebra of the image of phi to be geometrically G-cr; this plays an important role in our proof.

Sequence analysis of the Leishmania mexicana amastigote specific gene a600
Creators: name: Zhao, Min
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Various species of the genus Leishmania infect millions of people, causing a wide spectrum of diseases collectively termed as leishmaniases, with a wide distribution in tropical and sub-tropical areas. The parasite alternates between the promastigote form predominately in the insect vector and the intracellular amastigote form in the vertebrate host, including human. Accumulating evidences suggest that developmental stagespecific genes are responsible for morphological, physiological and biochemical differences between the two life stages. Particularly, the amastigote-specific genes are of great importance in term of the host-parasite relationship. The a600 gene, previously identified in our lab, is amastigote-specific in Leishmania mexicana. In the present study, the gene was sequenced using Nested Deletion. Sequence analysis indicated that the a600 gene encodes a novel 93-amino acid polypeptide. Predictions based on the amino acid sequence indicated that the putative polypeptide is likely a membrane protein as a transmembrane helix region is predicted. However, the putative polypeptide was neither detected in cell lysate nor in the medium of the promastigotes transfected with the Leishmania expression vector pLexSat containing coding region of a600 attached with the Flag sequence. Nevertheless Northern Blot showed the presence of the RNA transcribed from the insert, suggesting the involvement of post-translational regulation. Sequence variation was also observed at the 3'-untranslated region of the a600 gene, suggesting the a600 a multiple copy gene family. The approaches for further experiment were discussed.

The Economics and Logistics of Horse-drawn Armies
Creators: name: Davie, Hugh G W
Publisher: name: British Journal for Military History

description: The capabilities of horse-drawn armies were recorded by contemporary observers and by later historians, nonetheless there has been a continuing debate regarding the capacity and workings of these forces, particularly once they were integrated with and then superseded by, newer forms of transport such as railways and motor vehicles. This paper argues that little attention has been paid to the wider economic environment in which these armies operated, and in turn the supply of these armies can be considered as an economic system in its own right.

The Employment of War Dogs in the Medieval and Early Modern West
Creators: name: Phillips, Gervase
Publisher: name: British Journal for Military History
Year: 2021

description: This article explores the military use of dogs in the west, principally from the thirteenth to the eighteenth century. It is argued that the use of ‘war dogs’ was a recurrent but essentially ad hoc, sporadic and localized practice, quite distinct from the regular dog handling units that were established in the late nineteenth century. However, from the earliest phases of European colonization in the fifteenth century, another tradition, which employed dogs as weapons and instruments of torture, developed in the context of racialized warfare. The legacy of this infamous practice would be felt again in the twentieth century.

description: Recent advances in image-based 3D human shape estimation have been driven by the significant improvement in representation power afforded by deep neural networks. Although current approaches have demonstrated the potential in real world settings, they still fail to produce reconstructions with the level of detail often present in the input images. We argue that this limitation stems primarily form two conflicting requirements; accurate predictions require large context, but precise predictions require high resolution. Due to memory limitations in current hardware, previous approaches tend to take low resolution images as input to cover large spatial context, and produce less precise (or low resolution) 3D estimates as a result. We address this limitation by formulating a multi-level architecture that is end-to-end trainable. A coarse level observes the whole image at lower resolution and focuses on holistic reasoning. This provides context to an fine level which estimates highly detailed geometry by observing higher-resolution images. We demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art techniques on single image human shape reconstruction by fully leveraging 1k-resolution input images.

With use of this statement we derive exact expressions for charge and current densities in a medium in an arbitrary external field. We obtain that in a homogeneous nondispersive medium the field of a point particle differs at short-distances from the well known expression. We also demonstrate that in a linear medium second harmonic generation and optical detection become possible in the field of radially polarized radiation.

description: The physical nature of the currently observed dark energy in the universe is completely unclear, and many different theoretical models co-exist. Nevertheless, if dark energy is produced by vacuum fluctuations then there is a chance to probe some of its properties by simple laboratory tests based on Josephson junctions. These electronic devices can be used to perform `vacuum fluctuation spectroscopy', by directly measuring a noise spectrum induced by vacuum fluctuations. One would expect to see a cutoff near 1.7 THz in the measured power spectrum, provided the new physics underlying dark energy couples to electric charge. The effect exploited by the Josephson junction is a subtile nonlinear mixing effect and has nothing to do with the Casimir effect or other effects based on van der Waals forces. A Josephson experiment of the suggested type will now be built, and we should know the result within the next 3 years.

description: The recent appearance of COVID-19 virus has created a global crisis due to unavailability of any vaccine or drug that can effectively and deterministically work against it. Naturally, different possibilities (including herbal medicines having known therapeutic significance) have been explored by the scientists. The systematic scientific study (beginning with in silico study) of herbal medicines in particular and any drug in general is now possible as the structural components (proteins) of COVID-19 are already characterized. The main protease of COVID-19 virus is $\rm{M^{pro}}$ or $\rm{3CL^{pro}}$ which is a key CoV enzyme and an attractive drug target as it plays a pivotal role in mediating viral replication and transcription. In the present study, $\rm{3CL^{pro}}$ is used to study drug:3CLpro interactions and thus to investigate whether all or any of the main chemical constituents of Tinospora cordifolia (e.g., berberine $\rm{(C_{20}H_{18}NO_{4})}$, $β$-sitosterol $\rm{(C_{29}H_{50}O)}$, choline $\rm{(C_{5}H_{14}NO)}$, tetrahydropalmatine $\rm{(C_{21}H_{25}NO_{4})}$ and octacosanol $\rm{(C_{28}H_{58}O))}$ can be used as an anti-viral drug against SARS-CoV-2. The in silico study performed using tools of network pharmacology, molecular docking including molecular dynamics have revealed that among all considered phytochemicals in Tinospora cordifolia, berberine can regulate $\rm{3CL^{pro}}$ protein's function due to its easy inhibition and thus can control viral replication. The selection of Tinospora cordifolia was motivated by the fact that the main constituents of it are known to be responsible for various antiviral activities and the treatment of jaundice, rheumatism, diabetes, etc.

description: We have used the density functional theory to study the effect of molecular elongation on the isotropic-nematic, isotropic-smectic A and nematic-smectic A phase transitions of a fluid of molecules interacting via the Gay-Berne intermolecular potential. We have considered a range of length-to-width parameter $3.0\leq x_0\leq 4.0$ in steps of 0.2 at different densities and temperatures. Pair correlation functions needed as input information in density functional theory are calculated using the Percus-Yevick integral equation theory. Within the small range of elongation, the phase diagram shows significant changes. The fluid at low temperature is found to freeze directly from isotropic to smectic A phase for all the values of $x_0$ considered by us on increasing the density while nematic phase stabilizes in between isotropic and smectic A phases only at high temperatures and densities. Both isotropic-nematic and nematic-smectic A transition density and pressure are found to decrease as we increase $x_0$. The phase diagram obtained is compared with computer simulation result of the same model potential and is found to be in good qualitative agreement.

description: Stellar spectral classification is a fundamental tool of modern astronomy, providing insight into physical characteristics such as effective temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity. Accurate and fast spectral typing is an integral need for large all-sky spectroscopic surveys like the SDSS and LAMOST. Here, we present the next version of PyHammer, stellar spectral classification software that uses optical spectral templates and spectral line index measurements. PyHammer v2.0 extends the classification power to include carbon (C) stars, DA white dwarf (WD) stars, and also double-lined spectroscopic binaries (SB2). This release also includes a new empirical library of luminosity-normalized spectra that can be used to flux calibrate observed spectra, or to create synthetic SB2 spectra. We have generated physically reasonable SB2 combinations as templates, adding to PyHammer the ability to spectrally type SB2s. We test classification success rates on SB2 spectra, generated from the SDSS, across a wide range of spectral types and signal-to-noise ratios. Within the defined range of pairings described, more than $95\%$ of SB2s are correctly classified.

description: We investigate the statistics of the maximal fluctuation of two-dimensional Gaussian interfaces. Its relation to the entropic repulsion between rigid walls and a confined interface is used to derive the average maximal fluctuation $ \sim \sqrt{2/(πK)} \ln N$ and the asymptotic behavior of the whole distribution $P(m) \sim N^2 e^{-{\rm (const)} N^2 e^{-\sqrt{2πK} m} - \sqrt{2πK} m}$ for $m$ finite with $N^2$ and $K$ the interface size and tension, respectively. The standardized form of $P(m)$ does not depend on $N$ or $K$, but shows a good agreement with Gumbel's first asymptote distribution with a particular non-integer parameter. The effects of the correlations among individual fluctuations on the extreme value statistics are discussed in our findings.

description: Accurate instrumental bandpass corrections are essential for the reliable interpretation of spectral lines from targeted and survey-mode observations with radio interferometers. Bandpass correction is typically performed by comparing measurements of a strong calibrator source to an assumed model, typically an isolated point source. The wide field-of-view and high sensitivity of modern interferometers means that additional sources are often detected in observations of calibrators. This can introduce errors into bandpass corrections and subsequently the target data if not properly accounted for. Focusing on the standard calibrator PKS B1934-638, we perform simulations to asses this effect by constructing a wide-field sky model. The cases of ASKAP (0.7-1.9 GHz), MeerKAT (UHF: 0.58-1.05 GHz; L-band: 0.87-1.67 GHz) and Band 2 (0.95-1.76 GHz) of SKA-MID are examined. The use of a central point source model during bandpass calibration is found to impart amplitude errors into spectra measured by the precursor instruments at the ~0.2-0.5% level dropping to ~0.01% in the case of SKA-MID. This manifests itself as ripples in the source spectrum, the behaviour of which is coupled to the distribution of the array baselines, the solution interval, the primary beam size, the hour-angle of the calibration scan, as well as the weights used when imaging the target. Calibration pipelines should routinely employ complete field models for standard calibrators to remove this potentially destructive contaminant from the data, a recommendation we validate by comparing our simulation results to a MeerKAT scan of PKS B1934-638, calibrated with and without our expanded sky model.

description: Zahlreiche deutsche Akteure sowie Mittlerorganisationen der AKBP sind im Bereich der kulturellen Bildung tätig. Wo gibt es Anknüpfungspunkte zwischen Akteuren und Mittlern in diesem Arbeitsfeld? Welche Synergien entstehen durch Kooperation und wie könnten sie durch gezielte Maßnahmen verstärkt werden? Eine Befragung unter 133 relevanten Organisationen zeigt, dass rund zwei Drittel der befragten deutschen Akteure, die auf dem Feld der kulturellen Bildung aktiv sind, bereits international kooperieren. Knapp die Hälfte arbeitet mit Mittlerorganisationen der AKBP zusammen. Die Befragung zeigt zudem, zusammen mit der Analyse von drei Einzelprojekten, wie sich Partnerschaften der beiden Akteursgruppen gestalten. So entstehen z. B. Mehrwerte, wenn sich die inhaltliche Expertise eines Akteurs kultureller Bildung und die Regionalexpertise eines Mittlers der AKBP ergänzen. Darüber hinaus wird deutlich, dass eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Verständnis von kultureller Bildung hilfreich für Zielgruppen- und Partnerwahl sowie die Ausgestaltung von Projekten und Programmen ist.
 Die Kriterien für die Entstehung von Synergieeffekten führen zu Handlungsempfehlungen für die deutschen Akteure kultureller Bildung sowie für Mittlerorganisationen der AKBP. Diese sollen verdeutlichen, wie die möglichen Mehrwerte von Kooperationen im Bereich kultureller Bildung für die Beteiligten effektiv nutzbar gemacht werden können. Als erster Schritt wären gemeinsame, regelmäßige und neutrale Plattformen zur Strategieentwicklung und zum Austausch über kulturelle Bildung und deren Bedingungen im internationalen Austausch zu schaffen.

description: The present research aimed to analyze the impact of opportunistic behavior and bounded rationality impacts in the forms of contract adopted by the Agricultural Consortium of Specialized Farms (C.A.F.E.). For that, a case study was accomplished with the objective to embrace the most important characteristics of the theme as well as its process of development. The theoretical reference that gave support to this study it was the Transaction Costs Economics (TCE). Through the analysis of the variables approached by TCE, more specifically the behavioral factors (bounded rationality, opportunism) and forms of contract, it was concluded that, in the case studied the existence of opportunism interferes in certain way in the trust increasing the transactional costs. In the same sense the informational asymmetry enhances the agents’ bounded rationality; therefore it increases the transaction costs. This makes clear the importance of these elements in the definition in the contract form. In the case studied it was verified the need of a formalized and more specified and detailed contract structure so that it may reduce the transaction costs generated by the opportunistic actions and bounded rationality of the agents. According to the characteristics observed in the Consortium, the contract form that most adapt is the relational one, in which the main reference point is their own relationship when the autonomy among them is maintained. Trust and reputation are relevant elements.

description: The main objective of this work was to analyze the trade between income and risk related to the alternative milk production systems in the region of Viçosa, Minas Gerais, supported by the Federal University of Viçosa and Nestlé. A standard linear programming model provided the identification of the best options among the activities displayed for the maximization of the gross annual income. By means of the rentability calculation of the different milk production systems and risk linked to them it was possible to identify that the milk producers behaved differently in relation to the risk. Generally the producers who are more dependent to the milk activity for their survival are more adverse to risk.

description: Let G be a discrete group for which the classifying space for proper G-actions is finite-dimensional. We find a space W such that for any such G, the classifying space PBG for proper G-bundles has the homotopy type of the W-nullification of BG. We use this to deduce some results concerning PBG and in some cases where there is a good model for PBG we obtain information about the BZ/p-nullification of BG.

description: The recent transformation in milk production was characterized by the reduction of the prices received by the producer and by the increase of the production and productivity. Facing this reality, this work has the objective to identify whether the option for informal commercialization of the milk was one of the alternatives for the small producers receiving better prices. It was used a logit model to measure the impact of production volume and price received over the probability of producers to opt to sell in informal markets. The results were compatible to what was expected, once the price received per milk litre affects positivelly and the volume production has a negative effect the probability of producers to sell his production at informal markets. Therefore, informal commercialization is an alternative for small producers to obtain better prices for their product.

description: We present the general form of the renormalizable four-point interactions of a complex scalar field furnishing an irreducible representation of SU(2), and derive a set of algebraic identities that facilitates the calculation of higher-order radiative corrections. As an application, we calculate the two-loop beta function for the SM extended by a scalar multiplet, and provide the result explicitly in terms of the group invariants. Our results include the evolution of the Higgs-portal couplings, as well as scalar "minimal dark matter". We present numerical results for the two-loop evolution of the various couplings.

description: The linear transports along paths in vector bundles introduced in Ref. [1] are applied to the special case of tensor bundles over a given differentiable manifold. Links with the transports along paths generated by derivations of tensor algebras are investigated. A possible generalization of the theory of geodesics is proposed when the parallel transport generated by a linear connection is replaced with an arbitrary linear transport along paths in the tangent bundle.
