description: In response to failures of central planning, the Chinese government has experimented not only with free-market trade zones, but with allowing non-profit foundations to operate in a decentralized fashion. A network study shows how these foundations have connected together by sharing board members, in a structural parallel to what is seen in corporations in the United States and Europe. This board interlocking leads to the emergence of an elite group with privileged network positions. While the presence of government officials on non-profit boards is widespread, government officials are much less common in a subgroup of foundations that control just over half of all revenue in the network. This subgroup, associated with business elites, not only enjoys higher levels of within-elite links, but even preferentially excludes government officials from the NGOs with higher degree. The emergence of this structurally autonomous sphere is associated with major political and social events in the state-society relationship. Cluster analysis reveals multiple internal components within this sphere that share similar levels of network influence. Rather than a core-periphery structure centered around government officials, the Chinese non-profit world appears to be a multipolar one of distinct elite groups, many of which achieve high levels of independence from direct government control.

Robust control strategies for mean-field collective dynamics
Creators: name: Segala, Chiara
Publisher: name: Università degli studi di Trento
Year: 2022

description: The main topic of the thesis is the synthesis of control laws for interacting agent-based dynamics and their mean-field limit. In particular, after a general introduction, in the second chapter a linearization-based approach is used for the computation of sub-optimal feedback laws obtained from the solution of differential matrix Riccati equations. Quantification of dynamic performance of such control laws leads to theoretical estimates on suitable linearization points of the nonlinear dynamics. Subsequently, the feedback laws are embedded into a nonlinear model predictive control framework where the control is updated adaptively in time according to dynamic information on moments of linear mean-field dynamics. The performance and robustness of the proposed methodology is assessed through different numerical experiments in collective dynamics. In the other chapters of the thesis I present some related projects, robustness of systems with uncertainties, a proximal gradient approach for sparse control and an application in crowd evacuation dynamics.
The Anxiety of Ascent - Middle-Class Narratives in Germany and America
Creators: name: Doidge, Scott Kenneth
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines a narrative of cultural decline that developed in the wake of Max Weber’s The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. For Weber, and a group of influential sociologists that followed, Western modernity is marked by an increasing disenchantment with the bourgeois values that had previously given a sense of structure and meaning to life. Despite its unparalleled material achievements, the modern West in this reading is suffering from a crisis of meaning and is no longer able to provide authoritative answers the only really important question: ‘What shall we do and how shall we live?’ With this question in mind, this thesis explores two influential visions of middle-class life: the German bourgeois ideal of the late nineteenth century and the American middle class in the 1950s-1960s. The case studies were chosen because they share several key social facts. Both periods were marked by unprecedented economic development, social mobility and consolidation of values and aspirations commonly associated with middle-class life. They were also remarkably fecund periods of social enquiry that shaped many of the central themes and questions of the sociological tradition. The case studies are built on a close reading of a contemporary and retrospective text for each of the periods. In the German case, Gustav Freytag’s novel Debt and Credit (1855) is read against Thomas Mann’s Buddenbrooks (1901). In the American example, attention shifts to television. An examination of the domestic comedy Father Knows Best (1954-1960) is followed by a reading of the cable television drama Mad Men (2007-2015). Following a well established tradition within the sociology of culture, these texts were selected for their extraordinary popularity and cultural influence. The conclusion draws the central themes in all four stories together and considers the enduring accuracy of Weber’s diagnosis.

description: Der Nutzen von Konsortialverträgen zeigt sich zum einen sicher durch günstigere Bezugskonditionen, er muß letztlich aber anhand der Nutzung durch die Endanwender bewertet werden. In Nordrhein-Westfalen gibt es bisher zwei Konsortialverträge über die Nutzung von elektronischen Zeitschriften: Mit der Verlagsgruppe Springer wurde im September 1998 eine zunächst 1-jährige Vereinbarung über eine LINK-Testinstallation getroffen. Dadurch steht 26 wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken der online-Zugriff auf derzeit 390 elektronische Zeitschriften zur Verfügung. Mit dem Verlag Elsevier wurde 1997 ein Kaufvertrag über das gesamte Verlagsangebot der Jahre 1995-1999 geschlossen. Dem Konsortium gehören acht nordrheinisch-westfälische Universitätsbibliotheken an, die zur Zeit über 1100 elektronische Zeitschriften im Volltext nutzen können. Da es sich um einen Kaufvertrag handelt, mußten eigene Kapazitäten zur Datenhaltung und -verteilung geschaffen werden. Inzwischen liegen für 1998 erste Zahlen vor, die eine Bewertung dieses Konsortialmodells von der Nutzungsseite her ermöglichen. Dabei muß zwischen der fiktiven Gesamtnutzung des Konsortiums und den Nutzungen bei den einzelnen Konsortialbibliotheken unterschieden werden. Eine erste, überschlägige Ermittlung der Kosten pro nachgefragtem Artikel setzt dieses Bezugsmodell mit Dokumentlieferdiensten in Beziehung.
Pre-Hispanic Frailty and Mortality in the Lambayeque Valley: Wilson Bands as Evidence of Early Life Stress
Creators: name: Batchelder, Chelsea
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: Early life stress impacts frailty and is important for understanding mortality in ancient populations. Utilizing Wilson bands (WB) from enamel thin-sections, this thesis explores displays of phenotypic plasticity, early life stress between pre-Hispanic and Colonial samples, and osteobiographical accounts of individuals associated with the Formative (3200-200BCE, n=2), Late Moche (550-800CE, n=11) and Late Sicn (1100-1375CE, n=1) periods from the Ventarrn archaeological complex in northern coastal Peru. Late Moche individuals had high prevalences of WB, potentially linking low socioeconomic status to acute, episodic early childhood stress. Pre-Hispanic individuals with WB displayed greater frailty and earlier mortality than those without, indicated by lower average ages at death. Differences in WB prevalence between these Ventarrn cohorts compared to previously studied Colonial cohorts by Garland et al. (2016) showcase the importance of not treating pre-Hispanic cultures as an unchanging monolith. Future studies expanding this database will provide a more nuanced understanding of these patterns.

description: The long standing anomaly in the positron flux as measured by the PAMELA and AMS-02 experiments could potentially be explained by dark matter (DM) annihilations. This scenario typically requires a large "boost factor" to be consistent with a thermal relic dark matter candidate produced via freeze-out. However, such an explanation is disfavored by constraints from CMB observations on energy deposition during the epoch of recombination. We discuss a scenario called late-decaying two-component dark matter (LD2DM), where the entire DM consists of two semi-degenerate species. Within this framework, the heavier species is produced as a thermal relic in the early universe and decays to the lighter species over cosmological timescales. Consequently, the lighter species becomes the DM which populates the universe today. We show that annihilation of the lighter DM species with an enhanced cross-section, produced via such a non-thermal mechanism, can explain the observed AMS-02 positron flux while avoiding CMB constraints. The observed DM relic density can be correctly reproduced as well with simple s-wave annihilation cross-sections. We demonstrate that the scenario is safe from CMB constraints on late-time energy depositions during the cosmic "dark ages". Interestingly, structure formation constraints force us to consider small mass splittings between the two dark matter species. We explore possible cosmological and particle physics signatures in a toy model that realizes this scenario.

C OSTRUIRE E ABBATTERE BARRIERE: I modelli pedagogici per una scuola più equa e inclusiva
Creators: name: Lorenza, Jessica
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Quando si sente la parola "apprendere", c’è chi pensa subito ad aule, insegnanti, programmi didattici, e alle altre componenti della scuola. Imparare è naturale come respirare. Dal momento della nascita, gli esseri umani sono attivamente coinvolti nell'apprendimento: cioè, nel dare un significato alla loro esperienza. Nei neonati e nei bambini piccoli, l'apprendimento può propriamente essere definito come un istinto biologico. Il problema principale con l’associare l’apprendimento alla scuola è che si comincia a pensare che l'apprendimento avvenga solo quando qualcuno ci sta insegnando qualcosa. Ma noi cominciamo a imparare molto prima di andare a scuola, e certamente non smettiamo di imparare nel momento in cui lasciamo l'edificio scolastico. Le Neuroscienze¹ dimostrano che ciascun individuo possiede un proprio stile, e modo, di apprendere: una modalità di acquisire conoscenze, ed elaborare ragionamenti, che non è influenzata soltanto dall’eventuale presenza di patologie o menomazioni, ma che deriva direttamente dai meccanismi di funzionamento cerebrale e dallo stesso ambiente di vita Il ruolo degli insegnanti è quello di fornire un accesso: senza trascinare gli studenti esponendoli a questo o quello, ma rendendo disponibili alcune opportunità e mettendole alla loro portata.

description: We are interested in the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV), the Burgers, and the Whitham limit for a spatially periodic Boussinesq model with non-small contrast. We prove estimates between the KdV, the Burgers, and the Whitham approximation and true solutions of the original system which guarantee that these amplitude equations make correct predictions about the dynamics of the spatially periodic Boussinesq model over the natural time scales of the amplitude equations. The proof is based on Bloch wave analysis and energy estimates. The result is the first justification result of the KdV, the Burgers, and the Whitham approximation for a dispersive PDE posed in a spatially periodic medium of non-small contrast.

Time to Go Beyond Triple-Gauge-Boson-Coupling Interpretation of $W$ Pair Production

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: $W$ boson pair production processes at $e^+e^-$ and $pp$ colliders have been conventionally interpreted as measurements of $WWZ$ and $WWγ$ triple gauge couplings (TGCs). Such interpretation is based on the assumption that new physics effects other than anomalous TGCs are negligible. While this "TGC dominance assumption" was well-motivated and useful at LEP2 thanks to precision electroweak constraints, it is already challenged by recent LHC data. In fact, contributions from anomalous $Z$ boson couplings that are allowed by electroweak precision data but neglected in LHC analyses, being enhanced at high energy, can even dominate over those from the anomalous TGCs considered. This limits the generality of the anomalous TGC constraints derived in current analyses, and necessitates extension of the analysis framework and change of physics interpretation. The issue will persist as we continue to explore the high energy frontier. We clarify and analyze the situation in the effective field theory framework, which provides a useful organizing principle for understanding Standard Model deviations in the high energy regime.

Subjects: Peer Review, Governance, Democratic requirements, Quality, Legitimacy, Deliberation

description: Our contribution aims to explore to what extent peer review processes are capable of meeting requirements for democratic legitimacy, when used in order to choose to whom public funds and resources for research are allocated. Therefore, we will first present different options how to balance quality through expert judgement and legitimacy through procedural design in peer review (Reinhart/Schendzielorz 2021). We elaborate on the interplay with conditions of blinding, anonymity, transparency, openness and the purpose to warrant diversity, inclusion and equal treatment at once. Second, we introduce the basic principles of democratic governance and democratic legitimacy referring to canonical insights of political and democratic theory (Cheneval 2015, Rosanvallon 2018). Third, we discuss which of these multiple and encompassing requirements can be combined and taken into account in different peer review formats and procedures. Trying to explore the distribution of research funds with a democratic ambition, we will also consider the purposes of the decision generated through peer reviewing with respect to the raison d’être of the funding instance (national/european/international public funds, basic/applied research, societal impact etc.).
Using Hilbert transform and classical chains to simulate quantum walks

description: We propose a simulation strategy which uses a classical device of linearly coupled chain of springs to simulate quantum dynamics, in particular the quantum walks. Through this strategy, we obtain the quantum wave function from classical evolution. Specially, this goal is achieved with the classical momenta of the particles on the chain and their Hilbert transform, from which we construct the many-body momentum and Hilbert transformed momentum pair correlation functions yielding the real and imaginary parts of the wave function, respectively. With such wave function, we show that the classical chain's energy and heat spreading densities can be related to the wave function's modulus square. This relation indicates a concept of "phonon random walks", and thus it provides a new perspective to understand ballistic heat transport. The results here may give a definite answer to Feynman's idea of using a classical device to simulate quantum physics.

title: Mergers, Foreign Competition, and Jobs: Evidence from the U.S. Appliance Industry
Creators: name: Montag, Felix
Publisher: name: Universitätsbibliothek der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
Year: 2023

description: Policy choices often entail trade-offs between workers and consumers. I assess how foreign competition changes the consumer welfare and domestic employment effects of a merger. I construct a model accounting for demand responses, endogenous product portfolios, and employment. I apply this model to the acquisition of Maytag by Whirlpool in the household appliance industry. I compare the observed acquisition to one with a foreign buyer. While a Whirlpool acquisition decreased consumer welfare by $250 million, it led to 1,300 fewer domestic jobs lost. Jobs need to be worth above $220,000 annually for domestic employment effects to offset consumer harm.

description: Next-generation radio interferometers, such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), will revolutionise our understanding of the universe through their unprecedented sensitivity and resolution. However, to realise these goals significant challenges in image and data processing need to be overcome. The standard methods in radio interferometry for reconstructing images, such as CLEAN, have served the community well over the last few decades and have survived largely because they are pragmatic. However, they produce reconstructed inter\-ferometric images that are limited in quality and scalability for big data. In this work we apply and evaluate alternative interferometric reconstruction methods that make use of state-of-the-art sparse image reconstruction algorithms motivated by compressive sensing, which have been implemented in the PURIFY software package. In particular, we implement and apply the proximal alternating direction method of multipliers (P-ADMM) algorithm presented in a recent article. First, we assess the impact of the interpolation kernel used to perform gridding and degridding on sparse image reconstruction. We find that the Kaiser-Bessel interpolation kernel performs as well as prolate spheroidal wave functions, while providing a computational saving and an analytic form. Second, we apply PURIFY to real interferometric observations from the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and find images recovered by PURIFY are higher quality than those recovered by CLEAN. Third, we discuss how PURIFY reconstructions exhibit additional advantages over those recovered by CLEAN. The latest version of PURIFY, with developments presented in this work, is made publicly available.

description: The aim of this dissertation is to provide a more detailed insight into the effects of German codetermination rights on employment and productivity. Chapter 2 deals with the impact of German codetermination rights on overtime hours. The main findings are that the effects of works councils strongly depend on the contracted working time and also differ across quantiles of the overtime hours distribution. Chapter 3 analyzes the impact of works councils on discrepancies between preferred and actual working hours of employees. It is shown that employees in codetermined establishments are more likely to match their working time preferences. This positive effect is due to a reduction of overemployment. Chapter 4 examines the differences in the likelihood of overpayment and overemployment in establishments with and without works councils. In contrast to other studies, assessments by the management concerning the existence of such problems are used. The main result is that establishments with works councils that are prepared to interfere with the management are more likely to suffer from overemployment but do not differ in the likelihood of overpayment compared to establishments without works councils. Establishments with works councils that are in line with the management, however, do not differ from establishments without a works council with regard to the likelihood of overemployment but have a lower likelihood of overpayment. In Chapter 5, differences in employment growth between firms with and without works councils by separating introduction effects from potential selectivity effects are examined. Using a difference in differences framework, it is shown that firms with works councils have higher employment growth before establishing a works council. However, employment growth declines after introduction. The reason for lower employment growth is identified in reduced hiring rates but constant dismissal rates. Finally, Chapter 6 contains an estimation of the effect of almost parity codetermination and dispersion of capital ownership of stock companies on productivity. It is shown that a concentration of capital ownership counteracts and neutralizes negative effects of codetermination. Furthermore, productivity-enhancing effects of representation by a capital owner in the supervisory board are revealed if a firm is codetermined.

description: We derived an analytic structure of the quark mass correction to chiral separation effect (CSE) in small mass regime. We confirmed this structure by a D3/D7 holographic model study in a finite density, finite magnetic field background. The quark mass correction to CSE can be related to correlators of pseudo-scalar condensate, quark number density and quark condensate in static limit. We found scaling relations of these correlators with spatial momentum in the small momentum regime. They characterize medium responses to electric field, inhomogeneous quark mass and chiral shift. Beyond the small momentum regime, we found existence of normalizable mode, which possibly leads to formation of spiral phase. The normalizable mode exists beyond a critical magnetic field, whose magnitude decreases with quark chemical potential.

description: The thickness and interfacial geometry of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) films grown by chemical vapor deposition on polycrystalline nickel foils is studied using low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM). The reflectivity of the electrons, measured over an energy range of 0 - 20 eV, reveals distinct minima and maxima. The measured data is compared with simulations based on a first-principles description of the electronic structure of the material. From this comparison, the number of hBN layers and the separation between the lowest hBN layer and the nickel surface is deduced. The coupling of interlayer states of the hBN to both image-potential and Shockley-type surface states of the nickel is discussed, and the dependence of the reflectivity spectra on the surface orientation of nickel grains is examined.

Magnetic properties of Proxima Centauri b analogues

description: The discovery of a planet around the closest star to our Sun, Proxima Centauri, represents a quantum leap in the testability of exoplanetary models. Unlike any other discovered exoplanet, models of Proxima b could be contrasted against near future telescopic observations and far future in-situ measurements. In this paper we aim at predicting the planetary radius and the magnetic properties (dynamo lifetime and magnetic dipole moment) of Proxima b analogues (solid planets with masses of $\sim 1-3\,M_\oplus$, rotation periods of several days and habitable conditions). For this purpose we build a grid of planetary models with a wide range of compositions and masses. For each point in the grid we run the planetary evolution model developed in \citet{Zuluaga2013}. Our model assumes small orbital eccentricity, negligible tidal heating and earth-like radiogenic mantle elements abundances. We devise a statistical methodology to estimate the posterior distribution of the desired planetary properties assuming simple prior distributions for the orbital inclination and bulk composition. Our model predicts that Proxima b would have a mass $1.3\leq M_{\rm p}\leq 2.3\,M_{\oplus}$ and a radius $R_{\rm p}=1.4^{+0.3}_{-0.2}\,R_{\oplus}$. In our simulations, most Proxima b analogues develop intrinsic dynamos that last for $\geq$4 Gyr (the estimated age of the host star). If alive, the dynamo of Proxima b have a dipole moment ${\cal M}_{\rm dip}>0.32^{\times 2.3}_{÷2.9}{\cal M}_{\rm dip,\oplus}$. These results are not restricted to Proxima b but they also apply to earth-like planets having similar observed properties.

Response of Kasgot (Maggot former) Fertilizer to the Growth of Edamame Soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merrill)
Creators: name: Akhmad Rizali
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Edamame is a soybean plant originating from Japan which  has been developed in Indonesia with success.  Fresh soybeans from this exceptional soybean plant are consumed (vegetable soybean), namely soybean plants that are harvested when the seeds have developed and fill 80-90% of the seed space when the pods are still fresh green.  Innovation is needed in cultivation, especially in the fertilization aspect, to increase soybean productivity, especially edamame soybeans. One of the innovations that can be carried out to cultivate edamame plants is the use of organic fertilizer, including kasgot fertilizer (maggot former). The aim of this research was to determine the effect of kasgot fertilizer application on the growth of edamame plants.  This research used a one-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The factors examined in this research were the treatment of kasgot fertilizer (B) with four different doses and two types of control (K), each of which was repeated four times to obtain 24 experimental units.  The parameters observed were the vegetative growth of edamame plants, namely the number of leaves, leaf width, plant height and stem diameter. The results of this research show that the application of cashew fertilizer has a significant effect on the number of leaves and stem diameter of edamame plants.  The best dose of kasgot fertilizer for lettuce plant growth is B4, namely 45 tons ha-1 or 113 g/polybag with an average plant height of 51.8 cm, number of leaves 27, stem diameter 9.2 mm and leaf width 8.63 cm

description: We consider a family of fractional porous media equations, recently studied by Caffarelli and Vázquez. We show the construction of a weak solution as Wasserstein gradient flow of a square fractional Sobolev norm. Energy dissipation inequality, regularizing effect and decay estimates for the $L^p$ norms are established. Moreover, we show that a classical porous medium equation can be obtained as a limit case.

Studi critici per una nuova edizione della Regula pastoralis di Gregorio Magno
Creators: name: Perotti, Federica
Publisher: name: Università degli studi di Trento
Year: 2022

description: L’elaborato consiste in uno studio filologico sul testo della Regula pastoralis di Gregorio Magno e sulla sua prima diffusione. La tesi è strutturata in quattro sezioni: nella prima parte si ripercorre brevemente la storia degli studi critici sul testo della Regula pastoralis e si discutono i criteri metodologici adoperati per la selezione dei testimoni, che vengono di seguito descritti singolarmente in schede codicologiche. Nella seconda parte si analizzano i rapporti tra la Regula pastoralis e due altre opere gregoriane, i Moralia in Iob e l’epistola Synodica, allo scopo di definire sia l’occasione che le modalità con cui la Regula venne composta. Sempre in questa sezione si affronta il tema delle diverse campagne correttive autoriali che hanno interessato la Regula pastoralis e, contestualmente, si presentano alcune varianti riconducibili alla prima stesura del testo. La terza parte della tesi contiene la discussione dei passi che permettono di definire le diverse ramificazioni stemmatiche, insieme ad alcuni approfondimenti sulla storia della tradizione. Nella sezione finale è presentato il testo critico della prima metà della Regula pastoralis, comprendente sia le lezioni della prima redazione, collocate nella prima fascia di apparato, sia della seconda, poste a testo. Conclude l’elaborato un’appendice in cui si leggono i passi compresi tra i capitoli XXXI e LXIV interessati da interventi autoriali, dei quali si fornisce la forma ante e post correzione.
Fixed Point and Anomaly Mediation in Partially $N = 2$ Supersymmetric Standard Models

description: Motivated by the simple toroidal compactification of extra-dimensional SUSY theories, we investigate on a partially $N=2$ supersymmetric (SUSY) extension of the standard model which has an $N=2$ SUSY sector and an $N=1$ SUSY sector. We point out that below the scale of the partially breaking of $N=2$ to $N=1$, the ratio of Yukawa to gauge couplings embedded in the original $N=2$ gauge interaction in the $N=2$ sector becomes greater due to a fixed point. Since at the partially breaking scale the sfermion masses in the $N=2$ sector is suppressed due to the $N=2$ non-renormalization theorem, the anomaly mediation effect becomes important. If dominant, the anomaly induced masses for the sfermions in the $N=2$ sector are almost UV-insensitive due to the fixed point. Interestingly, these masses are always positive, i.e. no tachyonic slepton problem. From an example model, we show interesting phenomena differing from the ordinary MSSM. In particular, the dark matter can be a sbino, i.e. the scalar component of the $N=2$ vector multiplet of $\rm U(1)_Y$. To obtain the correct dark matter abundance, the mass of sbino, as well as the MSSM sparticles in the $N=2$ sector which have a typical mass pattern of anomaly mediation, is required to be small. Therefore, this scenario can be tested and confirmed in the LHC and may be further confirmed by the measurement of the $N=2$ Yukawa couplings in future colliders. This model can explain dark matter, muon $g-2$ anomaly, gauge coupling unification and relaxes some ordinary problems within the MSSM. Also, it is compatible with thermal leptogenesis.

On the Accretion Rates and Radiative Efficiencies of the Highest Redshift Quasars

description: We estimate the accretion rates onto the supermassive black holes that power 20 of the highest-redshift quasars, at z>5.8, including the quasar with the highest redshift known to date -- ULAS J1120 at z=7.09. The analysis is based on the observed (rest-frame) optical luminosities and reliable "virial" estimates of the BH masses of the quasars, and utilizes scaling relations derived from thin accretion disk theory. The mass accretion rates through the postulated disks cover a wide range, dM_disk/dt~4-190 Msol/yr, with most of the objects (80\%) having dM_disk/dt~10-65 Msol/yr, confirming the Eddington-limited nature of the accretion flows. By combining our estimates of dM_disk/dt with conservative, lower limits on the bolometric luminosities of the quasars, we investigate which alternative values of ηbest account for all the available data. We find that the vast majority of quasars (~85\%) can be explained with radiative efficiencies in the range η~0.03-0.3, with a median value close to the commonly assumed η=0.1. Within this range, we obtain conservative estimates of η>0.14 for ULAS J1120 and SDSS J0100 (at z=6.3), and of >0.19 for SDSS J1148 (at z=6.41; assuming their BH masses are accurate). The implied accretion timescales are generally in the range t_acc = M_BH / dM_BH/dt ~0.1-1 Gyr, suggesting that most quasars could have had ~1-10 mass e-foldings since BH seed formation. Our analysis therefore demonstrates that the available luminosities and masses for the highest-redshift quasars can be explained self-consistently within the thin, radiatively efficient accretion disk paradigm. Episodes of radiatively inefficient, "super-critical" accretion may have occurred at significantly earlier epochs (i.e., z~10 or above).
