Material examined.
RSIOAST 0038 (holotype). RSIOAST 0006 (paratype); RSIOAST 0008 (paratype); RSIOAST 0039 (paratype). RSIOAST 0200 (Figs 6 A – F, 14 E); RSIOAST 0201 (Fig. 6 G, H); NHMUK 8963; SO 268-2_174_116. (Suppl. material 1).
Diagnosis.
Arms 6. Abactinal disk and arm plate each bears one long, sharp spine, about 1 mm in length, not covered by membranous sheath. Enlarged pedicellariae (about 0.3–0.5 mm in length) with curved valves present on oral spines and abactinal surface of disk and arm genital area. Small pedicellariae (less than 0.2 mm in length) cluster in transverse bands on abactinal arm beyond genital area. One aboral furrow spine and one subambulacral spine on each adambulacral plate. Proximal subambulacral spines with truncate end. One lateral spine corresponding to every adambulacral plate beyond genital area. Oral plate bears one actinostomal spine, one suboral spine, and one furrow spine, all covered by large pedicellariae.
Distribution.
Northwest Pacific: Mariana Trench, Yap Trench, Lamont Seamount, Pigafetta Basin; Eastern Pacific: Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ). 4137–4991 m. Type locality: Mariana Trench, Yap Trench, Lamont Seamount, 4798–4991 m.
Remarks.
This species is characterized by having enlarged pedicellariae with curved valves on oral spines and abactinal surface of disk and arm genital area (Fig. 6 A, B, G), and one long, unsheathed spine on each abactinal arm plate. In some specimens, the proximal adambulacral spines are also equipped with large pedicellariae. The large pedicellariae are found in other Brisingida species, such as Freyella macropedicellaria Korovchinsky & Galkin, 1984; Freyella remex Sladen, 1889; and Astrocles japonicus (Korovchinsky 1976), as well as Freyellaster species (Zhang et al. 2024). In Freyastera, only F. basketa and F. mortenseni were found to have large pedicellariae. F. basketa has rather long, sharp spines on abactinal disk and arms, one to each plate, whereas F. mortenseni has several spines on each plate. Furthermore, F. mortenseni was reported at greater depth (5850 to 6200 m) than F. basketa (4137 to 4991 m). The newly examined specimens extend the distribution range of F. basketa to CCZ in the Eastern Pacific (Fig. 1).

description: Aims: We survey the transmission spectrum of WASP-121 b for line-absorption by metals and molecules at high spectral resolution, and elaborate on existing interpretations of the optical transmission spectrum observed with HST/STIS and WFC3. Methods: We use the cross-correlation technique and direct differential spectroscopy to search for sodium and other neutral and ionised atoms, TiO, VO and SH in high-resolution transit spectra obtained with the HARPS spectrograph. We inject models assuming chemical and hydrostatic equilibrium with varying temperature and composition to enable model comparison, and employ two bootstrap methods to test the robustness of our detections. Results: We detect neutral Mg, Na, Ca, Cr, Fe, Ni and V, which we predict exists in equilibrium with a significant quantity of VO, supporting earlier observations by HST/WFC3. Non-detections of Ti and TiO support the hypothesis that Ti is depleted via a cold-trap mechanism as has been proposed in the literature. Atomic line depths are under-predicted by hydrostatic models by a factor of 1.5 to 8, confirming recent findings that the atmosphere is extended. We predict the existence of significant concentrations of gas-phase TiO$_2$, VO$_2$ and TiS, which could be important absorbers at optical and NIR wavelengths in hot Jupiter atmospheres, but for which accurate line-list data is currently not available. We find no evidence for absorption by SH, and find that inflated atomic lines can plausibly explain the slope of the transmission spectrum observed in the NUV with HST/STIS. The Na D lines are significantly broadened and show a difference in their respective depths of 15 scale heights, which is not expected from isothermal hydrostatic theory.

description: This study uses the 1987-88 U.S. Department of Agriculture Nationwide Food Consumption Survey data to analyze the impacts of income, prices, and selected socioeconomic characteristics on household consumption of fresh fruits. Results suggest that fresh fruits are considered economic necessities, with own prices significantly influencing consumption. Cross-price effects are generally weak and insignificant, but the number of adults in the age group 18-64 is an important determinant of household consumption of fresh fruits. While nutrition information and household savings have significant, positive influences on most fresh fruit consumption, the presence of a working wife has a significant and negative influence.

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We present results of numerical calculations of electronic states of an exciton and a trion in a CdTe quantum well at magnetic fields up to 150T. The exciton state and the trion states were computed using a variational procedure. We estimated the binding energy of the trion in a singlet state with the z-component of angular momentum L_z=0, as well as the binding energy of the trion in a triplet state with L_z=-1. Recent experimental results show that even up to 44T the binding energy of negative trion in a singlet state is bigger than in a triplet state. We show that at a critical field B_c=65T the two binding energies cross and above B_c the binding energy of the trion in a triplet state is bigger than in the singlet state.

description: Directed spiral percolation (DSP) is a new percolation model with crossed external bias fields. Since percolation is a model of disorder, the effect of external bias fields on the properties of disordered systems can be studied numerically using DSP. In DSP, the bias fields are an in-plane directional field ($E$) and a field of rotational nature ($B$) applied perpendicular to the plane of the lattice. The critical properties of DSP clusters are studied here varying the direction of $E$ field and intensities of both $E$ and $B$ fields in 2 dimensions. The system shows interesting and unusual critical behaviour at the percolation threshold. Not only the universality class of DSP model is found to belong in a new universality class than that of other percolation models but also the universality class remains invariant under the variation of $E$ field direction. Varying the intensities of the $E$ and $B$ fields, a crossover from DSP to other percolation models has been studied. A phase diagram of the percolation models is obtained as a function of intensities of the bias fields $E$ and $B$.

description: One of the classic concerns in statistics is determining if two samples come from thesame population, i.e. homogeneity testing. In this paper, we propose a homogeneitytest in the context of Functional Data Analysis, adopting an idea from multivariatedata analysis: the data depth plot (DD-plot). This DD-plot is a generalization of theunivariate Q-Q plot (quantile-quantile plot). We propose some statistics based onthese DD-plots, and we use bootstrapping techniques to estimate their distributions.We estimate the finite-sample size and power of our test via simulation, obtainingbetter results than other homogeneity test proposed in the literature. Finally, weillustrate the procedure in samples of real heterogeneous data and get consistent results.

description: Two methods for creating arbitrary two-photon polarization pure states are introduced. Based on these, four schemes for creating two-photon polarization mixed states are proposed and analyzed. The first two schemes can synthesize completely arbitrary two-qubit mixed states, i.e., control all 15 free parameters: Scheme I requires several sets of crystals, while Scheme II requires only a single set, but relies on decohering the pump beam. Additionally, we describe two further schemes which are much easier to implement. Although the total capability of these is still being studied, we show that they can synthesize all two-qubit Werner states, maximally entangled mixed states, Collins-Gisin states, and arbitrary Bell-diagonal states.

description: Previous research on the relationship between diet and health has increased consumer interest in the nutritional content of specific foods. Federal programs, such as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and The Food Pyramid, have had similar impacts. A 1994 mail survey of 3,080 Louisiana households in eight rural and urban parishes examined consumer awareness of the nutritional labeling of fresh meats and its importance. Rural respondents placed more emphasis on nutritional labeling than did urban respondents. The respondents also ranked three descriptive terms (lean, extra lean and low fat) for fat content as defined by the USDA. Eighteen percent of households ranked them correctly with white households displaying better ranking capability. These results tend to justify an earlier decision by Congress to implement legislation covering the nutritional labeling of fresh meats.

description: The interactions of dark matter (DM) with the visible sector are often phenomenologically described in the framework of simplified models where the couplings of quarks to the new particles are generally assumed to be universal or have a simple structure motivated by observational benchmarks. They should, however, a priori be treated as free parameters. In this work we discuss one particular realization of the structure of DM couplings based on an $S_4 \times Z_5$ flavor symmetry, which has been shown to account reasonably well for fermion masses and mixing, and compare their effect on observational signals to universal as well as Yukawa-like couplings, which are motivated by minimal flavor violation. We will also comment on how these structures could be constrained in UV complete theories of DM and how DM observables, such as, e.g., relic density and direct detection, can potentially be used as a smoking gun for the underlying flavor symmetries.

Ethnic identification and ethnic identity of immigrant Chinese families

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study explores the ethnic identification and ethnic identity of immigrant Chinese mothers (n = 56) and adolescents (n = 55) living in the Greater Vancouver Area, British Columbia, Canada. Survey methods were used to assess: (a) measures of ethnic identification and ethnic identity, (b) intergenerational similitude of ethnic identification, and (c) intergenerational similitude of ethnic identity. Findings contribute to the conceptualization and measurement of both ethnic identification and ethnic identity. Most noteworthy, results support (a) that the Ethnic Identification Scale is an adequate measure of ethnic identification, (b) the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Scale (Phinney, 1992) contains a single component with two theoretical dimensions, and (c) ethnic identification and ethnic identity are distinct constructs. In addition, the intergenerational similitude of ethnic identification and ethnic identity was examined according to the goodness-of-fit and exploration/perspective-taking models. Contrary to expectations, no support was found for the similitude of ethnic identification between mothers and their adolescent children. On the other hand, there was evidence for the intergenerational similitude of ethnic identity, supporting the exploration/perspective-taking model for understanding ethnic identity development within the family context. Adolescents were more likely to explore issues related to their ethnic group membership if their mother engages in the exploration process.

The variation of the Ti--O bond lengths with pressure evidences a distinct change in the distortion of the TiO_6 octahedra at around 10 GPa, indicating a pressure-driven spatial reorientation of the occupied Ti 3d(t_2g) orbitals. The pressure-induced reduction of the optical band gap of YTiO3 is determined quantitatively by mid-infrared synchrotron micro-spectroscopy and discussed in terms of bond length and orbital orientation changes.

description: In light of the recently developed complete GJ set of single random variable stochastic, discrete-time Størmer-Verlet algorithms for statistically accurate simulations of Langevin equations, we investigate two outstanding questions: 1) Are there any algorithmic or statistical benefits from including multiple random variables per time-step, and 2) are there objective reasons for using one or more methods from the available set of statistically correct algorithms? To address the first question, we assume a general form for the discrete-time equations with two random variables and then follow the systematic, brute-force GJ methodology by enforcing correct thermodynamics in linear systems. It is concluded that correct configurational Boltzmann sampling of a particle in a harmonic potential implies correct configurational free-particle diffusion, and that these requirements only can be accomplished if the two random variables per time step are identical. We consequently submit that the GJ set represents all possible stochastic Størmer-Verlet methods that can reproduce time-step-independent statistics of linear systems. The second question is thus addressed within the GJ set. Based in part on numerical simulations of complex molecular systems, and in part on analytic scaling of time, we analyze the apparent difference in stability between different methods. We attribute this difference to the inherent time scaling in each method, and suggest that this scaling may lead to inconsistencies in the interpretation of dynamical and statistical simulation results. We therefore suggest that the method with the least inherent time-scaling, the GJ-I/GJF-2GJ method, be preferred for statistical applications where spurious rescaling of time is undesirable.

description: Despite the attractiveness of experiments from the perspective of program evaluation, there have been very few program experiments in the area of family planning. This paper evaluates an ongoing family planning program experiment in rural Bangladesh. The paper estimates the effect of mothers' program exposure on fertility and children's time allocation. The results show that while the program was effective in reducing fertility, it had no significant impact on children's school enrollment. However, the program appears to have significantly raised boys' participation in the labor force.

description: Most QCD models of high energy collisions predict that the inelasticity $K$ is an increasing function of the energy. We argue that, due to percolation of strings, this behaviour will change and, at $\sqrt{s} \simeq 10^4$ GeV, the inelasticity will start to decrease with the energy. This has straightforward consequences in high energy cosmic ray physics: 1) the relative depth of the shower maximum $\bar{X}$ grows faster with energy above the knee; 2) the energy measurements of ground array experiments at GZK energies could be overestimated.

TeV Mini Black Hole Decay at Future Colliders

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: It is generally believed that mini black holes decay by emitting elementary particles with a black body energy spectrum. The original calculation lead to the conclusion that about the 90% of the black hole mass is radiated away in the form of photons, neutrinos and light leptons, mainly electrons and muons. With the advent of String Theory, such a scenario must be updated by including new effects coming from the stringy nature of particles and interactions.By taking for granted that black holes can be produced in hadronic collisions, then their decay must take into account that: (i) we live in a D3-Brane embedded into an higher dimensional bulk spacetime; (ii) fundamental interactions, including gravity, are unified at TeV energy scale. Thus, the formal description of the Hawking radiation mechanism has to be extended to the case of more than four spacetime dimensions and include the presence of D-branes. Furthermore, unification of fundamental interactions at an energy scale many order of magnitude lower than the Planck energy implies that any kind of fundamental particle, not only leptons, is expected to be emitted. A detailed understanding of the new scenario is instrumental for optimal tuning of detectors at future colliders, where, hopefully, this exciting new physics will be tested. In this article we review higher dimensional black hole decay, considering not only the emission of particles according to Hawking mechanism, but also their near horizon QED/QCD interactions. The ultimate motivation is to build up a phenomenologically reliable scenario, allowing a clear experimental signature of the event.

H2 There exists an observable (locally) unique equilibrium price system such that the observable market demand is equal to the observable market supply in every market. H3 The observed equilibrium price system is a (locally) stable equilibrium of tâtonnement price adjustment. The main results are the Brown-Matzkin Theorem: H1 is testable, and the Brown- Shannon Theorem: H2 and H3 are not testable.

description: Market-based development efforts frequently create opportunities to generate income from goods previously produced and consumed within the household. Production within the household is often characterized by a gender and age division of labor. Market development efforts to improve well being may lead to unanticipated outcomes if household production decisions are non-cooperative. We develop and test models of household decision-making to investigate intra-household decision making in a nomadic pastoral setting from Kenya. Our results suggest that household decisions are contested, with husbands using migration decisions to resist wives' ability to market milk.

An improved value for the $^{3}$P$_{2}$ - $^{3}$P$_{1}$ ground state fine structure splitting is determined at $396.0564$ (7) cm$^{-1}$. A $^{34}$S - $^{32}$S atomic isotope shift was measured from combining time-of-flight mass spectrometry with laser spectroscopy.

description: The paper outlines a methodology that allows us to determine whether couples' fertility is supply constrained based on the response they give to the subjective desired family size question. The central idea of the paper is that, when faced with the desired family size question, both constrained and unconstrained couples compare their demand for children with knowledge of their biological supply and unconstrained couples respond with a number while constrained couples respond with a qualitative response such as, "It is Up to God" (UTG), that essentially conveys the notion of demanding as many children as the supply function can yield. I then test this interpretation using data from Bangladesh. I find that controlling for demand side characteristics, positive supply shocks (birth of twins) lowers the probability of UTG response while negative supply shocks (wife's infertility) significantly raises the probability of UTG response. Based on the percentage of women giving the UTG response, it can be concluded that fertility of many couples in Bangladesh was constrained by supply.

description: Recently discovered class of cobaltate superconductors (Na0.3CoO2.nH2O) is a novel realization of interacting quantum electron systems in a triangular network with low-energy degrees of freedom. We employ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to uncover the nature of microscopic electron motion in the parent superconductors for the first time. Results reveal a large hole-like Fermi surface (consistent with Luttinger theorem) generated by the crossing of super-heavy quasiparticles. The measured quasiparticle parameters collectively suggest a two orders of magnitude departure from the conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer electron dynamics paradigm and unveils cobaltates as a rather hidden class of relatively high temperature superconductors.

Regionalism and the World Trade Organization: Is Non-Discrimination Passe?

description: The principle of non-discrimination as enunciated in its Articles I on General Most Favoured Nation Treatment (MFN) and III on National Treatment (NT) is the foundation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and its successor, the World Trade Organization (WTO). Yet, articles of GATT included many exceptions to MFN, of which one of the most serious was Article XXIV relating to Customs Unions (CU) and Free Trade Areas (FTA). Clearly there was a tension, if not contradiction, between the fundamental principle of nondiscrimination and inherently discriminatory preferential trading arrangements (PTA's) such as CU's and FTA's. This tension was not a serious practical one as long as a few PTA's were proposed, let alone implemented, as was the case four decades until the start of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations in 1986. The continuing proliferation of proposed PTA's covering several regions of the world since then is a potential threat to progress towards a non-discriminatory multilateral trading system. The paper begins with a discussion of the reasons for the failure of the Working Party mechanism set forth in Article XXIV for examining the consistency of proposed PTA's with GATT. It then briefly surveys the recent literature on regionalism and multilateralism, focusing more on the issues raised than on analytical models. It critically examines the concept of "open regionalism" that has been enthusiastically advanced by the United States in particular and finds it problematic, if not an oxymoron. The paper concludes with a discussion of how further progress towards a nondiscriminatory world trading system could be made, even as preferential regional liberalization initiatives proliferate.

description: Coupled channels calculations are performed for the 12C(d,p)13C and 13C(p,d)12C reactions between 7 and 60 MeV to study the effect of inelastic couplings in transfer reactions. The effect of treating transfer beyond Born approximation is also addressed. The coupling to the 12C 2+ state is found to change the peak cross-section by up to 15 %. Effects beyond Born approximation lead to a significant renormalization of the cross-sections, between 5 and 10 % for deuteron energies above 10 MeV, and larger than 10 % for lower energies. We also performed calculations including the remnant term in the transfer operator, which has a small impact on the 12C(d,p)13C(g.s.) and 13C(p,d)12C(g.s.) reactions. Above 30 MeV deuteron energy, the effect of the remnant term is larger than 10 % for the 12C(d,p)13C(3.09 MeV) reaction and is found to increase with decreasing neutron separation energy for the 3.09 MeV state of 13C. This is of importance for transfer reactions with weakly bound nuclei.

description: In this work we investigate the interaction between spin-zero and spin-one monopoles by making use of an effective field theory based on two-body and four-body interaction parts. In particular, we analyze the formation of bound state of monopole-antimonopole (i.e. monopolium). The magnetic-charge conjugation symmetry is studied in analogy to the usual charge conjugation to define a particle basis, for which we find bound-state solutions with relatively small binding energies and which allows us to identify the bounds on the parameters in the effective Lagrangians. Estimations of their masses, binding energies and scattering lengths are performed as functions of monopole masses and interaction strength in a specific renormalization scheme. We also examine the general validity of the approach and the feasibility of detecting the monopolium.

Motives for Household Private Transfers in Burkina Faso

description: Resource transfers among households have received considerable interest among economists in recent years. Two of the main reasons for the surge of interest in household transfers are the information on human nature conveyed by transfer behavior and the implication on income redistribution policy that private transfer might have. Empirical studies, however, provide mixed results on transfer behavior. This is because previous inquiries were confronted with several estimation issues and have focused on data from developed countries where private transfers are already small. This paper contributes to the literature on transfer behavior by using a multifaceted econometric approach to examine the motives of household transfers in Burkina, a low-income country with a well-documented tradition of gift exchanges. The findings suggest that risk sharing is not central to transfers. Altruistic transfers are apparent for the middle income class, but not a low income level. The evidence implies that crowding out may be minimal at a low income level, suggesting that public transfers targeting poor households may be effective.

description: Atmospheric muons play an important role in underwater/ice neutrino detectors. In this paper, a parameterisation of the flux of single and multiple muon events, their lateral distribution and of their energy spectrum is presented. The kinematics parameters were modelled starting from a full Monte Carlo simulation of the interaction of primary cosmic rays with atmospheric nuclei; secondary muons reaching the sea level were propagated in the deep water. The parametric formulas are valid for a vertical depth of 1.5-5 km w.e. and up to 85 deg for the zenith angle, and can be used as input for a fast simulation of atmospheric muons in underwater/ice detectors.

description: This study presents a comparative analysis of farmers' organisations in Korea and Taiwan during 1950-80 in order to help us understand the role of group behavior in affecting development outcomes. It highlights the linkages between group behavior, parastatal organisational structures and economic performance. The paper examines the historical and political economy contexts that led to the creation of both countries' farmers' organisations and highlights the institutional characteristics that impacted their operational effectiveness. The study discusses elements in internal and external policies that affected group motivation and traces the implications of such differences in group behavior for bottom line performance. Though there existed many similarities in both organisational structure and operations, it is argued that differential intra-group behavioral dynamics led to differences in agricultural performance. Although, with the declining importance of agriculture, the relative importance of such organisations has declined in recent years, the study is relevant for developing countries at every stage of development.

description: Scattering from conformal interfaces in two dimensions is universal in that the flux of reflected and transmitted energy does not depend on the details of the initial state. In this letter, we present the first gravitational calculation of energy reflection and transmission coefficients for interfaces with thin-brane holographic duals. Our result for the reflection coefficient depends monotonically on the tension of the dual string anchored at the interface, and obeys the lower bound recently derived from the ANEC in conformal field theory. The B(oundary)CFT limit is recovered for infinite ratio of the central charges.

High-resolution simulations of the final assembly of Earth-like planets 1: terrestrial accretion and dynamics

description: The final stage in the formation of terrestrial planets consists of the accumulation of ~1000-km ``planetary embryos'' and a swarm of billions of 1-10 km ``planetesimals.'' During this process, water-rich material is accreted by the terrestrial planets via impacts of water-rich bodies from beyond roughly 2.5 AU. We present results from five high-resolution dynamical simulations. These start from 1000-2000 embryos and planetesimals, roughly 5-10 times more particles than in previous simulations. Each simulation formed 2-4 terrestrial planets with masses between 0.4 and 2.6 Earth masses. The eccentricities of most planets were ~0.05, lower than in previous simulations, but still higher than for Venus, Earth and Mars. Each planet accreted at least the Earth's current water budget. We demonstrate several new aspects of the accretion process: 1) The feeding zones of terrestrial planets change in time, widening and moving outward. Even in the presence of Jupiter, water-rich material from beyond 2.5 AU is not accreted for several millions of years. 2) Even in the absence of secular resonances, the asteroid belt is cleared of >99% of its original mass by self-scattering of bodies into resonances with Jupiter. 3) If planetary embryos form relatively slowly, following the models of Kokubo & Ida, then the formation of embryos in the asteroid belt may have been stunted by the presence of Jupiter. 4) Self-interacting planetesimals feel dynamical friction from other small bodies, which has important effects on the eccentricity evolution and outcome of a simulation.
