Fulgurofusus

description: Genus Fulgurofusus Grabau, 1904
Synonymy:
 Fulgurofusus Grabau, 1904:86; Wenz, 1941: 1086; Shimer & Shrock, 1944: 507; Darragh, 1969: 99; Harasewych, 1983b: 5. Columbarium (Fulgurofusus) Bayer, 1971: 170.
 Type species. Fusus quercollis Harris, 1896, by original designation.
 Diagnosis. Shell of moderate size (to 86 mm), fusiform, with short or tall, conical spire, rounded whorls, peripheral keel that may be prominent and flange-like or a weakly nodulose cord, weak anterior carina, and stout, axial siphonal canal of moderate length. Protoconch cylindrical to weakly conical, of 1½–3 whorls. First whorl bulbous, deviated. Transition to teleoconch generally indistinct. Suture adpressed onto or slightly above anterior carina. Spiral sculpture of numerous fine threads and weak cords extending from suture to middle of siphonal canal. Early whorls with two closely adjacent cords along periphery, forming an incised furrow between them. Axial sculpture of small nodules along periphery, or low ribs extending from suture to siphonal canal. Outer lip porcellaneous, furrowed beneath periphery. Inner lip smooth, with outermost layers of previous whorls resorbed prior to deposition of a thin glaze that does not produce a raised lamina. Shell color uniformly white. Rachidian teeth of radula with 3 cusps on a U-shaped basal plate with prominent lateral expansions (e.g. Harasewych 1983b: fig. 9).
 Remarks. The genus Fulgurofusus is based on a Paleocene type species from the Gulf Coast of the United States. Several Eocene species have been reported from western North America and Antarctica. In the Recent fauna, Fulgurofusus is the most wide ranging genus within Columbariinae, extending from the Bering Sea to the Bounty Plateau along the western Pacific, and from the Blake Plateau to the Scotia Sea in the western Atlantic. Columbarium tomicici McLean & Andrade, 1982, from lower bathyal depths off Chile is likely referrable to Fulgurofusus [based on the lack of a raised columellar lamina and the presence of rachidian teeth with a laterally expanded basal plate (McLean & Andrade 1982: figs. 26–30)], further expanding the range of this genus. Unlike other columbariine genera, the bathymetric range of Fulgurofusus extends to the lower continental slope and onto the abyssal plain, especially near the poles.
 Finlay (1930b: 267–268) considered Fulgurofusus to be less advanced than Coluzea, and presumed it to be ancestral to Coluzea.

description: Transformations from pure to mixed states are usually associated with information loss and irreversibility. Here, a protocol is demonstrated allowing one to make these transformations reversible. The pure states are diluted with a random noise source. Using this protocol one can study optimal transformations between states, and from this derive the unique measure of information. This is compared to irreversible transformations where one does not have access to noise. The ideas presented here shed some light on attempts to understand entanglement manipulations and the inevitable irreversibility encountered there where one finds that mixed states can contain "bound entanglement".

description: The Affleck-Dine mechanism in its simplest form provides baryogenesis from the out-of-equilibrium evolution of a complex scalar field with a simple renormalizable potential. We show that such a model, supplemented by nonminimal coupling to gravity, can also provide inflation, consistent with Planck constraints, simultaneously with the generation of the baryon asymmetry. The predictions of the model include significant tensor-to-scalar ratio and possibly baryon isocurvature fluctuations. The reheating temperature is calculable, making the model fully predictive. We require color triplet scalars for reheating and transfering the primordial baryon asymmetry to quarks; these could be observable at colliders. They can also be probed at higher scales by searches for quark compositeness in dijet angular distributions, and flavor-changing neutral current effects.

For Nb3Sn, we find that the fit to the experimental data can be slightly improved by taking into account the sharp structure in the density of states, but it is likely that such an analysis alone is not enough to completely explain the superconducting tunneling characteristics of this material. Nevertheless, the extracted Eliashberg function displays a number of features expected to be present for the highest quality Nb3Sn samples.

description: Some thought bank deregulation would lead to a "rural takeover" as urban banks drained funds out of rural areas. Instead, in rural areas lucky enough to be served by both urban and local banks, credit and other financial services may be more readily available than before, urban banks, by drawing on their urban funding base, can better withstand reverses in the local economy. Customers have a wider choice of banks to patronize.

description: We constructed a model where the central core of the universe is a modified Gidding-Strominger wormhole and surrounding the core is a Robertson-Walker Universe with k=0. They are separated by a thin wall which does not allow the content of the inner core to travel to the outer universe. But this wall allows the pressure of the inner core to be transferred to the outer physical universe. Assuming that the fluid density of the physical universe is practically independent of time, we have calculated the Hubble constant and the deacceleration parameter, qo, of the physical universe at the present time. The Hubble constant comes out to be positive, whereas qo becomes negative. The negative signature of this deacceleration parameter conforms to present experimental data.

description: North and South Dakota have experienced rapid land-use changes in the past decade. Recent studies have shown that these land-use changes are mainly characterized by conversions of grasslands to crop production, especially corn and soybeans. Approximately 271,000 hectares of grasslands were lost to corn and soy production in 2006-2011 period, almost seven times the losses in 1989-2003. The implications of these changing land-uses range from reduced biodiversity and loss of habitat for waterfowl species to low agricultural productivity on drought-sensitive marginal lands. While progress has been made in characterizing regional land-use changes, formal analyses establishing causal relationships at the local level are lacking. We construct a spatially delineated dataset for the Dakotas and utilize a Difference-in-Difference (DID) model in conjugation with Propensity Score Matching to estimate the impact of an ethanol plant on nearby corn-acres. We hold the advent of an ethanol plant to be a treatment that influences land-use on surrounding agricultural plots. In our preliminary work, based on the Parallel Paths assumption of the DID, we find that the effect of ethanol plants on corn production varies by plants and a single point estimate for all ethanol plants in a region, as usually provided in the literature, can be highly misleading. Surprisingly, we find both positive as well as negative effects of ethanol plants on corn-acres that may be statistically insignificant. Negative estimates are irreconcilable to the economic incentives due to these corn-based ethanol plants. We find intensified corn production and reduced soybeans due to the ethanol plants. Our analysis also reflects a difference in opportunity of converting from wheat to corn and from grass to corn. We use placebo tests and pre-treatment trends in corn acres to examine the Parallel Paths assumption that identifies the DID estimates. We find that this assumption fails and propose to carry out this analysis by incorporating differentiated trends into the DID framework through more flexible assumptions in future. An important contribution of this paper is that it presents a unique research design that uses quasi-experimental techniques to evaluate the impact of a change/policy upon availability of spatially delineated datasets. To this extent, our results are to be viewed as preliminary.
Mott insulators in strong electric fields

description: Recent experiments on ultracold atomic gases in an optical lattice potential have produced a Mott insulating state of Rb atoms. This state is stable to a small applied potential gradient (an `electric' field), but a resonant response was observed when the potential energy drop per lattice spacing (E), was close to the repulsive interaction energy (U) between two atoms in the same lattice potential well. We identify all states which are resonantly coupled to the Mott insulator for E close to U via an infinitesimal tunneling amplitude between neighboring potential wells. The strong correlation between these states is described by an effective Hamiltonian for the resonant subspace. This Hamiltonian exhibits quantum phase transitions associated with an Ising density wave order, and with the appearance of superfluidity in the directions transverse to the electric field. We suggest that the observed resonant response is related to these transitions, and propose experiments to directly detect the order parameters. The generalizations to electric fields applied in different directions, and to a variety of lattices, should allow study of numerous other correlated quantum phases.

description: The high cost of biodiesel production from refined vegetable oils has limited its widespread adoption. To address this issue, this research introduces a novel strategy for improving the economics of biodiesel production by co-producing phytonutrients (tocols and carotenes) alongside biodiesel from palm fatty acid distillate and palm pressed fiber oil using a low-cost liquid lipase, Eversa® Transform 2.0. The lipase could efficiently catalyze the conversion of these second-generation feedstocks to biodiesel with ester contents exceeding 90% while retaining over 90% of its tocols and carotenes. Following vacuum distillation, tocols and carotenes could be enriched up to 28-fold and 4-fold, respectively.
A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF IDENTITY POLITICS AND DISPLACEMENT OF ROHINGYAS AND UYGHURS
Creators: name: Rai, Miss Aayushi
name: Ganguly, Dr. Anna Nath
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Identity politics has long played a significant role in shaping the treatment of ethnic and religious minorities, often leading to their marginalization and displacement. In recent years, the Rohingyas in Myanmar and the Uyghurs in China have emerged as two of the most persecuted groups in the world. While the Rohingyas, a stateless Muslim minority, have faced mass displacement due to systematic violence and denial of citizenship, the Uyghurs, a Turkic Muslim group in China’s Xinjiang region, have been subjected to mass surveillance, forced internment, and cultural erasure. Both cases illustrate how governments use identity politics to justify exclusionary policies, leading to forced migration, statelessness, and human rights violations. Both cases underscore the devastating consequences of a state leveraging identity politics to solidify political control, ultimately targeting marginalized communities and attempting to erase their cultural and religious presence.

This study examines how identity politics has fueled the displacement of these two communities, comparing the state policies, international responses, and long-term consequences of their persecution. The Rohingya crisis stems from Myanmar’s exclusionary citizenship laws and military violence, resulting in mass displacement to neighboring countries. In contrast, the Chinese government’s policies towards the Uyghurs involve large-scale internment camps and forced assimilation rather than direct expulsion. Despite these differences, both groups face severe human rights violations and limited avenues for justice.

By analyzing these cases, this paper aims to highlight the broader implications of identity-based exclusion and state-sponsored persecution. It seeks to answer the following questions: How do identity politics influence the forced displacement of the Rohingyas and Uyghurs? What similarities and differences exist in state policies and international responses? What are the global consequences of these crises?

The paper is structured as follows: The first section explores the historical and political foundations of identity politics in Myanmar and China. The second section examines the specific policies that have led to the displacement of the Rohingyas and the repression of the Uyghurs. The third section analyzes international responses and the challenges of addressing these crises. The fourth section provides a comparative analysis, highlighting both similarities and differences between the two cases. Finally, the conclusion discusses the broader implications for global human rights and policy recommendations for addressing ethnic persecution.Together, these cases illustrate how state and nationalist actors can distort and weaponize identity politics—transforming it from a potential tool of empowerment into a mechanism that deepens exclusion, erases cultural diversity, and perpetuates cycles of discrimination and violence.

description: We study the local implementation of POVMs when we require only the faithful reproduction of the statistics of the measurement outcomes for all initial states. We first demonstrate that any POVM with separable elements can be implemented by a separable super-operator, and develop techniques for calculating the extreme points of POVMs under a certain class of constraint that includes separability and PPT-ness. As examples we consider measurements that are invariant under various symmetry groups (Werner, Isotropic, Bell-diagonal, Local Orthogonal), and demonstrate that in these cases separability of the POVM elements is equivalent to implementability via LOCC. We also calculate the extrema of these classes of measurement under the groups that we consider, and give explicit LOCC protocols for attaining them. These protocols are hence optimal methods for locally discriminating between states of these symmetries. One of many interesting consequences is that the best way to locally discriminate Bell diagonal mixed states is to perform a 2-outcome POVM using local von Neumann projections. This is true regardless of the cost function, the number of states being discriminated, or the prior probabilities. Our results give the first cases of local mixed state discrimination that can be analysed quantitatively in full, and may have application to other problems such as demonstrations of non-locality, experimental entanglement witnesses, and perhaps even entanglement distillation.

description: By developing a semi-classical analysis based on the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis, we determine the long time behavior of a large spin evolving with a nonlinear Hamiltonian. Despite integrable classical dynamics, we find the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis for the diagonal matrix elements of observables is satisfied in the majority of eigenstates, and thermalization of long time averaged observables is generic. The exception is a novel mechanism for the breakdown of thermalization based on an unstable fixed point in the classical dynamics. Using the semi-classical analysis we derive how the equilibrium values of observables encode properties of the initial state. This analysis shows an unusual memory effect in which the remembered initial state property is not conserved in the integrable classical dynamics. We conclude with a discussion of relevant experiments and the potential generality of this mechanism for long time memory and the breakdown of thermalization.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We argue that the interplay between cosmic rays, the initial mass function, and star formation plays a crucial role in regulating the star-forming "main sequence". To explore these phenomena we develop a toy model for galaxy evolution in which star formation is regulated by a combination of a temperature-dependent initial mass function and heating due to starlight, cosmic rays and, at very high redshift, the cosmic microwave background. This produces an attractor, near-equilibrium solution which is consistent with observations of the star-forming main sequence over a broad redshift range. Additional solutions to the same equations may correspond to other observed phases of galaxy evolution including quiescent galaxies. This model makes several falsifiable predictions, including higher metallicities and dust masses than anticipated at high redshift and isotopic abundances in the Milky Way. It also predicts that stellar mass-to-light ratios are lower than produced using a Milky Way-derived IMF, so that inferences of stellar masses and star formation rates for high redshift galaxies are overestimated. In some cases, this may also transform inferred dark matter profiles from core-like to cusp-like.

description: This paper uses panel data techniques to identify the yield response to various fertilizer application techniques in rural Niger. Empirical evidence on the profitability of fertilizer micro-dosing is provided to confirm if the observed low adoption of the technique is contrary to what is expected given its expected profitability. Particular attention is paid to the effects of fertilizer micro-dosing on demand for complementary inputs such as labor. The study finds no empirical evidence that micro-dosing is more labor intensive than traditional methods of fertilizer application, as is conventionally thought. Study results indicate that while micro-dosing on its own is more profitable than using no fertilizer, other techniques such as mixing fertilizer with seeds at planting might be more attractive because they require significantly less fertilizer than the traditional approach or micro-dosing. Any yield returns from fertilizer micro-dosing compared to mixing do not appear to be sufficient to compensate for the higher costs associated with the higher quantity of fertilizer required.

description: We investigate the entanglement-renormalization group flows of translation-invariant topological stabilizer models in three dimensions. Fracton models are observed to bifurcate under entanglement renormalization, generically returning at least one copy of the original model. Based on this behavior we formulate the notion of bifurcated equivalence for fracton phases, generalizing foliated fracton equivalence. The notion of quotient superselection sectors is also generalized accordingly. We calculate bifurcating entanglement-renormalization group flows for a wide range of examples and, based on those results, propose conjectures regarding the classification of translation-invariant topological stabilizer models in three dimensions.

subject: consumption growth

description: In this paper, I use variations in the gestational ages of pregnant woman and the number of adults to estimate the effect of household composition and the timing of birth on household consumption. Based on the empirical results, I find a significant relationship between growth in the number of adults in the household and consumption growth. I also find a negative relationship between the number of adults and consumption per capita. Gestational age and it’s interaction with number of adult have a significant effect on labor income. Despite this finding, gestational age does not have a significant effect on labor related income and consumption. This linkage among consumption, household composition, and labor supply is a candidate explanation for the excess sensitivity of consumption growth to income which has been reported in the permanent income hypothesis/life-cycle literature. I argue that number of adults drives both consumption and labor supply thereby resulting in a relationship between consumption growth and income growth.

description: A dynamic optimization framework is applied to the problem where groundwater stock and the state of technology and the climate are the state variables and groundwater pumping is the control variable and the objective is to maximize the net present value of the stream of rents from irrigation over the life of the aquifer. Dynamical systems govern the evolution of the aquifer, the climate, and the rate of technical progress. These dynamical systems may be dependent upon periodic groundwater allocations, as in the case of the aquifer, or independent of the periodic allocations as in the case of climate and technical change. Alternative plans are considered where the planner ignores one or more of the state variables when prescribing an extraction path. The ``information effect'' in these plans is assessed by comparing extraction, depletion, and rents from irrigation paths. A well accepted formulation of hydrologic dynamics for the aquifer is employed and simple dynamic trends for climate and technology are developed. A simplified example of the model incorporating only deterministic aquifer and technical change dynamics is presented as a linear-quadratic optimal control problem. Numerical results from Sheridan County, KS, suggest that prescribing a pumping schedule ignoring the dynamics of climate change is most costly. Furthermore, once on the optimal path, relatively large savings in groundwater may be achieved with relatively small portions of profits foregone.
The Metallicity-Luminosity Relation, Effective Yields, and Metal Loss in Spiral and Irregular Galaxies

description: I present results on the correlation between galaxy mass, luminosity, and metallicity for a sample of spiral and irregular galaxies having well-measured abundance profiles, distances, and rotation speeds. Additional data for low surface brightness galaxies from the literature are also included for comparison. These data are combined to study the metallicity-luminosity and metallicity-rotation speed correlations for spiral and irregular galaxies. The metallicity luminosity correlation shows its familiar form for these galaxies, a roughly uniform change in the average present-day O/H abundance of about a factor 100 over 11 magnitudes in B luminosity. However, the O/H - V(rot) relation shows a change in slope at a rotation speed of about 125 km/sec. At faster V(rot), there appears to be no relation between average metallicity and rotation speed. At lower V(rot), the metallicity correlates with rotation speed. This change in behavior could be the result of increasing loss of metals from the smaller galaxies in supernova-driven winds. This idea is tested by looking at the variation in effective yield, derived from observed abundances and gas fractions assuming closed box chemical evolution. The effective yields derived for spiral and irregular galaxies increase by a factor of 10-20 from V(rot) approximately 5 km/sec to V(rot) approximately 300 km/sec, asympotically increasing to approximately constant y(eff) for V(rot) > 150 km/sec. The trend suggests that galaxies with V(rot) < 100-150 km/sec may lose a large fraction of their SN ejecta, while galaxies above this value tend to retain metals.

description: Outreach and Extension services are important to enhance human capital by providing with useful and practical research findings in a way that farmers can understand. A limited number of studies have been conducted to understand the methods Extension agents use to deliver information. The research to date has tended to primarily focus on identifying learning methods preferred by farmers and has compared them with the teaching methods used by Extension agents. However, little is known about how Extension agents decide the types of methods they use for outreach and why they prefer those methods. A clear understanding about these mechanisms could prove crucial in closing the existing gap between farmers’ needs for information and extension’ teaching preferences, and assuring the development and delivery of effective educational programs. Davis (2006) theorized that educators tend to teach the way they prefer to learn. This study attempts to provide quantitative evidence on how Extension educators’ personal preferences for learning methods impact their teaching methods decisions. Specifically, the goals of this study are: 1) to identify Extension agents’ characteristics that affect their selection of different types of educational methods, and 2) to explain how Extension agents’ perception of farmers’ reception affects this selection. Results from this study will help enhance learning among farmers by understanding educators’ preferences of learning and teaching methods. The data used in this study was collected through an electronic survey administered to Extension and other outreach agents in 10 western states of the U.S. on December, 2012. Statistical analysis indicates that Extension and other outreach agents work primarily with farmers and agribusiness groups. Extension agents surveyed for this study showed preference for learning and outreach methods such as: field days, seminars, face-to-face meetings with farmers, community educational events, and internet. Using an ordered probit model corrected for selection bias, this paper aims to explain the Extension educators’ characteristics that influence their decision of the type of educational methods they use to transfer agricultural information. Various factors are believed to explain the use of learning methods by Extension agents, including: education level, age, region, area of expertise, target group, perception on the farmers’ use of information, and years of experience. Results will shed light on the understanding of how Extension agents choose teaching methods will provide with tools to better design and conduct training activities and ultimately help farmers improve their productivity.

description: We introduce quantum heat engines that perform quantum Otto cycle and the quantum Stirling cycle by using a coupled pair of harmonic oscillator as its working substance. In the quantum regime, different working medium is considered for the analysis of the engine models to boost the efficiency of the cycles. In this work, we present Otto and Stirling cycle in the quantum realm where the phase space is non-commutative in nature. By using the notion of quantum thermodynamics we develop the thermodynamic variables in non-commutative phase space. We encounter a catalytic effect (boost) on the efficiency of the engine in non-commutative space (i.e, we encounter that the Stirling cycle reaches near to the efficiency of the ideal cycle) when compared with the commutative space. Moreover, we obtained a notion that the working medium is much more effective for the analysis of the Stirling cycle than that of the Otto cycle.

description: We show that simple Bose Hubbard models with unfrustrated hopping and short range two-body repulsive interactions can support stable fractionalized phases in two and higher dimensions, and in zero magnetic field.
