description: If one assesses the importance of a particular phenomena by the simple measure of the number of people that it has affected then peasant movements must be regarded as one of the most significant features of the twentieth century. In Mexico, Russia, China, Cuba, Algeria, Vietnam, Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and the list goes on, peasants have played a significant part in bringing down a particular social and political order; in other parts of the world, small wars continue to challenge the status quo. Some will be successful, as others have been in the past, but many will fail or obtain only minor concessions. Even more, perhaps, will go unnoticed by the outside world.

description: This study aimed to analyze the effects of a new protocol with letrozole on the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles in women with endometriosis. This retrospective cohort study was conducted for women diagnosed with endometriosis undergoing IVF from an infertility clinic. A new protocol, combination therapy with letrozole and gonadotropin, was used from August 2016 to January 2018 (‘protocol 1’, n = 38). From March 2014 to July 2016, conventional IVF with gonadotropin was administered (‘protocol 2’, n = 26). Age and ovarian reserve were comparable between the two groups. The patients who received protocol 1 resulted in a significantly lower peak estradiol level in IVF compared with those received protocol 2 (722 ± 1076 pg/mL versus 2168 ± 1521 pg/mL, p p = .029) in patients with protocol 1. While maintaining low estrogen levels, the combination therapy with letrozole and gonadotropin produce similar oocyte and embryo yield to the conventional IVF protocol in women with endometriosis.
Slow viscous flow through regular arrays of cylinders and spheres
Creators: name: Tahir, Mohammad Iqbal
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1982
Subjects: subject: Viscous flow
subject: Cylinders
subject: Sphere

description: slow viscous flow through regular arrays of cylinders and spheres is studied theoretically and the drag force exerted by the fluid on a cylinder or a sphere forming the regular array is calculated. The method used essentially consists of comparing a solution of the Stokes equations outside a cylinder or a sphere with a sum of solutions having equal singularities inside every cylinder or sphere of the regular array . For cylinders, results are given for square and tr iangular arrays for flow parallel and perpendicular to the axes of cylinders, while for spheres results are given only for a simple cubic array . Results agree well with the corresponding values reported by previous researchers, notably Hasirnoto (1959).
Are cryptocurrency traders pioneers or just risk-seekers? Evidence from brokerage accounts

description: Are cryptocurrency traders driven by a desire to invest in a new asset class to diversify their portfolio or are they merely seeking to increase their levels of risk? To answer this question, we use individual-level brokerage data and study their behavior in stock trading around the time they engage in their first cryptocurrency trade. We find that when engaging in cryptocurrency trading investors simultaneously increase their risk-seeking behavior in stock trading as they increase their trading intensity and use of leverage. The increase in risk-seeking in stocks is particularly pronounced when volatility in cryptocurrency returns is low, suggesting that their overall behavior is driven by excitement-seeking.

description: We show that noncommutative gauge theory in two dimensions is an exactly solvable model. A cohomological formulation of gauge theory defined on the noncommutative torus is used to show that its quantum partition function can be written as a sum over contributions from classical solutions. We derive an explicit formula for the partition function of Yang-Mills theory defined on a projective module for arbitrary noncommutativity parameter θwhich is manifestly invariant under gauge Morita equivalence. The energy observables are shown to be smooth functions of θ. The construction of noncommutative instanton contributions to the path integral is described in some detail. In general, there are infinitely many gauge inequivalent contributions of fixed topological charge, along with a finite number of quantum fluctuations about each instanton. The associated moduli spaces are combinations of symmetric products of an ordinary two-torus whose orbifold singularities are not resolved by noncommutativity. In particular, the weak coupling limit of the gauge theory is independent of θand computes the symplectic volume of the moduli space of constant curvature connections on the noncommutative torus.

description: The article presents the initial outcomes of the investigations on self-writings conducted by the research group Dopo il primato, affiliated to the Osservatorio sul romanzo contemporaneo. In particular, the study examines, from a theoretical, morphological, and thematic perspective, the main trends in French and Francophone novels of the last twenty years. The methodological criteria adopted are firstly described, aiming to frame the definitional issues related to the notion of “self-writings”, based on the theoretical debate in France and Italy. Subsequently, the choices that lead to the selection of a corpus of novels are illustrated, following the process of questioning autobiographical elements initiated in the last quarter of the twentieth century. After highlighting the composite and centrifugal nature of this object of study, some preferred lines of investigation are outlined and based on the relationship with the fictional element within the narrative. The reflection revolves around the following axes: autofiction, starting from the debate initiated by Doubrovsky with a focus on the productions of Philippe Villain and Philippe Forest; the complex dialogue between truth and fiction within biofiction (Jean Echenoz), also in its relationships with minimalist writing (Régis Jauffret and Philippe Delerm); forms of a performative self-writing from a feminine perspective (Agathe Charnet, Fatima Daas, Chloé Deleume); the relationships between fragmented and “recomposed” identity through the narration of trauma in its collective and individual dimensions, with particular reference to the cases of Boris Cyrulnik, Assia Djebar, and Maryse Condé.

description: Maria Schindelegger legt mit ihrem Buch „Die Armierung des Blickes. Margaret Bourke-Whites Fotografien aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg“ ein umfassendes Werk zu einem spannenden Abschnitt in der ereignisreichen Karriere der US-amerikanischen Fotografin Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) vor. Bourke-White zählt nicht nur zu einer der Pionierinnen im Fotojournalismus des letzten Jahrhunderts, sondern stilisierte sich selbst auch zum schillernden Medienstar. Davon zeugt nicht zuletzt ihre 1963 erschienene Autobiografie, die wochenlang auf der Bestsellerliste der „New York Times“ rangierte. In der Fachliteratur wird Bourke-White gemeinhin als die Frau rezipiert, die Männer wie Winston Churchill vor ihre Kameralinse lockte und die Stalin beim Fotoshooting zum Lächeln brachte.

description: Background: Genetic variation in the guidance cue DCC gene is linked to psychopathologies involving dysfunction in the prefrontal cortex. We created an expression-based polygenic risk score (ePRS) based on the DCC coexpression gene network in the prefrontal cortex, hypothesizing that it would be associated with individual differences in total brain volume. Methods: We filtered single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from genes coexpressed with DCC in the prefrontal cortex obtained from an adult postmortem donors database (BrainEAC) for genes enriched in children 1.5 to 11 years old (BrainSpan). The SNPs were weighted by their effect size in predicting gene expression in the prefrontal cortex, multiplied by their allele number based on an individual’s genotype data, and then summarized into an ePRS. We evaluated associations between the DCC ePRS and total brain volume in children in 2 community-based cohorts: The Maternal Adversity, Vulnerability and Neurodevelopment (MAVAN) and University of California, Irvine (UCI) projects. For comparison, we calculated a conventional PRS based on a genome-wide association study of total brain volume. Results: Higher ePRS was associated with higher total brain volume in children 8 to 10 years old (β = 0.212, p = 0.043; n = 88). The conventional PRS at several different thresholds did not predict total brain volume in this cohort. A replication analysis in an independent cohort of newborns from the UCI study showed an association between the ePRS and newborn total brain volume (β = 0.101, p = 0.048; n = 80). The genes included in the ePRS demonstrated high levels of coexpression throughout the lifespan and are primarily involved in regulating cellular function. Limitations: The relatively small sample size and age differences between the main and replication cohorts were limitations. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the DCC coexpression network in the prefrontal cortex is critically involved in whole brain development during the first decade of life. Genes comprising the ePRS are involved in gene translation control and cell adhesion, and their expression in the prefrontal cortex at different stages of life provides a snapshot of their dynamic recruitment.
A study of families, households and population in the Union of Burma

Year: 1984
Subjects: subject: Households Burma
subject: Burma Population

description: This thesis reviews the historical writings on families and households in the Union of Burma, followed by a statistical analysis of the demographic, social and economic characteristics of household heads and total population. Where data are available such characteristics are discussed for various regions. The review of sociological and anthropological studies of families and households is based mainly on historical writings. The customs and behaviour with regard to marriage, kin-relations, divorce and inheritance, status of women and role of children in different racial groups have been examined. A varied picture of the ;socio-cultural pattern of family life of different societies in the Union of Burma was observed. A statistical analysis of the family itself is not feasible in the Union of Burma as information has always been sought by households. The statistical data on households reveal that the summary indices such as the average size of household, mean age of the head of the household, proportion of the total population by marital status, educational attainment and workforce participation do not show much variation between the regions, and thus by races. One could generally conclude that although the minorities depict variation in their customs towards family life, the characteristics of the people living in various regions, which broadly approximate racial groups, are not different.
Female migration and employment : a case study in Kecamatan Pasar Rebo, Jakarta

description: The main purpose of this study is to examine female migration to Kecamatan Pasar Rebo (Pasar Rebo District) focussing on the characteristics, pattern, motivation, activity and occupation of female migrants in Pasar Rebo. In this study, tables relating to Pasar Rebo are based on the original analysis of a data tape obtained from the National Institute of Social and Economic Research, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LEKNAS-LIPl). The analysis i3 based on two samples, female migrant workers and housewcrkers. Within workers the main group analysed was female factory workers while other workers were analysed largely for comparison. In the analysis, factory workers were defined as including only the production and related workers in the factory, while higher position factory workers together with non-factory workers were classified as 'other workers'. The women who were classified as housewcrkers were women whose activity during the one week previous to interview was to maintain a household. The analysis of female migrants in Pasar Rebo included only life-time migrants, whose birth place was in other provinces of Jakarta.

description: Our goal here is to present a detailed analysis connecting the anomalous scaling properties of 2D simplicial quantum gravity to the geometry of the moduli space M_{g,N} of genus g Riemann surfaces with N punctures. In the case of pure gravity we prove that the scaling properties of the set of dynamical triangulations with N vertices are directly provided by the large N asymptotics of the Weil-Petersson volume of M_{g,N}, recently discussed by Manin and Zograf. Such a geometrical characterization explains why dynamical triangulations automatically take into account the anomalous scaling properties of Liouville theory. In the case of coupling with conformal matter we briefly argue that the anomalous scaling of the resulting discretized theory should be related to the Gromov-Witten invariants of the moduli space M_{g,N}(X,β) of stable maps from (punctured Riemann surfaces associated with) dynamical triangulations to a manifold X parameterizing the conformal matter configurations.

description: Murine norovirus (MNoV) is an important model of human norovirus (HNoV) and mucosal virus infection more broadly. Viral receptor utilization is a major determinant of cell tropism, host range, and pathogenesis. The bona fide receptor for HNoV is unknown. Recently, we identified CD300lf as a proteinaceous receptor for MNoV. Interestingly, its paralogue CD300ld was also sufficient for MNoV infection in vitro. Here we explored whether CD300lf is the sole physiologic receptor in vivo and whether HNoV can use a CD300 ortholog as an entry receptor. We report that both CD300ld and CD300lf are sufficient for infection by diverse MNoV strains in vitro. We further demonstrate that CD300lf is essential for both oral and parenteral MNoV infection and to elicit anti-MNoV humoral responses in vivo. In mice deficient in STAT1 signaling, CD300lf is required for MNoV-induced lethality. Finally, we demonstrate that human CD300lf (huCD300lf) is not essential for HNoV infection, nor does huCD300lf inhibit binding of HNoV virus-like particles to glycans. Thus, we report huCD300lf is not a receptor for HNoV.

Effects of 1974-75 famine on demographic variables in rural Bangladesh
Creators: name: Razzaque, Abdur
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1985
Subjects: subject: Famines Bangladesh
subject: Bangladesh Population

description: This study investigates the demographic effect of the 1974-75 famine in a rural population of Bangladesh. Socio-economic data of 1974, registration data on births, deaths, and migration for the period 1974-77, from ICDDR,B have been used. The analyses are based principally on age-specific fertility and mortality rates, and life tables for cohorts born between July 1974 and June 1977. Five household variables indicate that the greatest famine-induced fertility decline occurred in the lower socio-economic groups. The post-famine recovery in 1976-77 was greatest for the lower socio-economic groups and less marked for the higher socio-economic groups. In 1974-75, the lower socio-economic groups were also most affected in terms of out-migration of males and marriage. Pregnancy wastage did not show any particular pattern. It was found that the poorer groups, as measured by possession of household items, suffered very high mortality during the famine compared with the wealthier groups. Most affected during the famine were the younger and older age groups. Cohorts born during the famine had a lower cumulative proportion surviving at different points of time than post-famine birth cohorts. During the famine there was a very high infant mortality for the lower socio-economic groups, but in normal times the socio-economic differentials almost disappeared. Similarly during famine infant mortality for females was higher than for males, but after the famine the pattern was reversed.
A Unified Approach to Collaborative Filtering via Linear Models and Beyond

description: Recommending a personalised list of items to users is a core task for many online services such as Amazon, Netflix, and Youtube. Recommender systems are the algorithms that facilitate such personalised recommendation. Collaborative filtering (CF), the most popular class of recommendation algorithm, exploits the wisdom of the crowd by predicting users’ preferences not only from her past actions but also from the preferences of other like-minded users. In general, it is desirable to have a CF framework that is (1) applicable to wide range of recommendation scenarios, (2) learning-based, (3) amenable to convex optimisation, and (4) scalable. However, all existing CF methods, such as neighbourhood and matrix factorisation, lack one or more of these desiderata. In this dissertation, we investigate linear models, an under-appreciated but promising area for recommendations that addresses all the above desiderata. We formulate a unified framework based on linear models that yields CF algorithms for four prevalent scenarios. First, we investigate Social CF, which involves leveraging users’ signals from online social networks. We propose social affinity filtering (SAF), that exploits fine-grained user interactions and activities in a social network. Second, we investigate Cold-Start CF, which refers to the scenario when we do not have any historical data about a user or an item. We formulate a large-scale linear model that leverages users social information. Third, we investigate One-Class CF, which concerns suggesting relevant items to users from the data that consists of only positive preferences such as item purchase.Noting the superior performance of linear models, we propose LRec, a user-focused linear CF model, and extend it to large-scale datasets via dimensionality reduction. Finally, we investigate Explicit Feedback CF, which concerns predicting user’s actual preferences such as rating, or like/dislikes. We identify CF as an auto-encoding problem and propose AUTOREC, a generalized neural network architecture for CF. We demonstrate state-of-the-art performance of the proposed models through extensive experimentation on real world datasets. In a nutshell, this dissertation elucidates the power of linear models for various CF tasks and paves the way for further research on applying deep learning models to CF.
Population trends in East Java

Subjects: subject: Jawa Timur (Indonesia) Population

description: This study has examined the levels, trends and differentials of infant and child mortality, fertility and migration in East Java. Based on these findings, alternative projections of the population from 1980 to 2000 were made, and the implications of these projections for school enrolment and the labour force were discussed. The main analysis was based on the 1980 census and the 1980 East Java Population Survey. In general, the results of this study confirm that infant and child mortality have decreased gradually, probably as a result of social and economic development. The age specific fertility rates also have decreased since the mid-1960s. The results also reveal mortality and fertility differentials according to urban-rural residence, maternal education and age of mother. The total fertility rate in East Java was one of the lowest among all provinces in Indonesia, and the annual growth rate of East Java was lower than the national level. In balance East Java had no out-migration. East Java, in terms of size of population is the largest of the 27 provinces in Indonesia with 29.2 million in 1980. The population will continue to increase to the year 2000, ranging from 36.0 million to 38.8 million depending on the rates of fertility decline and out-migration. Primary school enrolments are not expected to increase rapidly, because of already high levels of enrolment and declines in fertility, but secondary school enrolments should continue to increase due to an anticipated greater enrolment rate. The labour force also will increase in size, but not as rapidly as would be expected because of anticipated declines in participation rates for the youngest and oldest groups of the working-age population.

description: We compare algorithms for global optimization of polynomial functions in many variables. It is demonstrated that existing algebraic methods (Gröbner bases, resultants, homotopy methods) are dramatically outperformed by a relaxation technique, due to N.Z. Shor and the first author, which involves sums of squares and semidefinite programming. This opens up the possibility of using semidefinite programming relaxations arising from the Positivstellensatz for a wide range of computational problems in real algebraic geometry.

description: Erkenntnisse aus dem Reallabor
description: Deutsche Online Version
description: Das Fab City Hamburg Playbook fasst Erkenntnisse aus dem transdisziplinären Projekt „Fab City: Dezentrale digitale Produktion für die urbane Wertschöpfung“ zusammen, dass unter der Leitung des New Production Institute an der Helmut-Schmidt-Universität durchgeführt wird. Im Rahmen des Projektes wurde seit 2020 ein umfangreiches Reallabor in Hamburg aufgebaut, dass Forschende unterschiedlicher Disziplinen, Institutionen aus dem öffentlichen und privaten Sektor und Nutzerinnen zusammenbringt, um gemeinsam an Lösungen für die produktive Stadt der Zukunft zu arbeiten. Im Fokus steht die Transformation städtischer Produktions- und Konsumptionsmuster hin zu einer urbanen Kreislaufwirtschaft, und die Frage was und wie wir lokal produzieren können, um den Weg zu nachhaltigen und resilienten Produktionssystemen zu ebnen. Das Playbook richtet sich an ein breites Publikum aus Praktikern, Forschenden und interessierten Hamburger Bürgerinnen. Es erzählt und dokumentiert aus dem Projekt erwachsene Stadtgeschichten von erfolgreichen Prototypen und kreativen Köpfen, die als Wegbereitende der Transformation den Wandel gestalten. Es hält konkret und praxisbezogen unsere Erfahrungen im Reallabor Hamburg fest und soll als Informations- und Inspirationsquelle dienen.

description: We consider the dynamics of a Bianchi type I spacetime in the presence of dilaton and magnetic fields. The general solution of the Einstein-Maxwell dilaton field equations can be obtained in an exact parametric form. Depending on the numerical values of the parameters of the model there are three distinct classes of solutions. The time evolution of the mean anisotropy, shear and deceleration parameter is considered in detail and it is shown that a magnetic-dilaton anisotropic Bianchi type I geometry does not isotropize, the initial anisotropy being present in the universe for all times.

description: The effects that the structure of a neutron star would have on the gravitational emission of a binary system are studied in a perturbative regime, and in the frequency domain. Assuming that a neutron star is perturbed by a point mass moving on a close, circular orbit, we solve the equations of stellar perturbations in general relativity to evaluate the energy lost by the system in gravitational waves. We compare the energy output obtained for different stellar models with that found by assuming that the perturbed object is a black hole with the same mass, and we discuss the role played by the excitation of the stellar modes. Ouresults indicate that the stellar structure begins to affect the emitted power when the orbital velocity is v >0.2c (about 185 Hz for a binary system composed of two canonical neutron stars). We show that the differences between different stellar models and a black hole are due mainly to the excitation of the quasinormal modes of the star. Finally, we discuss to what extent and up to which distance the perturbative approach can be used to describe the interaction of a star and a pointlike massive body.

description: Programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-based immune checkpoint blockade therapy using the anti-PD-L1 antibody is effective for a subset of patients with advanced metastatic melanoma but about half of the patients do not respond to the therapy because of the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) induced by cytotoxins such as doxorubicin (DOX) allows damaged dying tumor cells to release immunostimulatory danger signals to activate dendritic cells (DCs) and T-cells; however, DOX also makes tumor cells upregulate PD-L1 expression and thus deactivate T-cells via the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway. Herein, we show that celastrol (CEL) induced not only strong ICD but also downregulation of PD-L1 expression of tumor cells. Thus, CEL was able to simultaneously activate DCs and T-cells and interrupt the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway between T-cells and tumor cells. In a bilateral tumor model, intratumorally (i.t.) injected celastrol nanoemulsion retaining a high tumor CEL concentration activated the immune system efficiently, which inhibited both the treated tumor and the distant untreated tumor in the mice (i.e., abscopal effect). Thus, this work demonstrates a new and much cost-effective immunotherapy strategy — chemotherapy-induced immunotherapy against melanoma without the need for expensive immune-checkpoint inhibitors.
'The cat that kills people:’ community beliefs about Ebola origins and implications for disease control in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo

description: The current Ebola epidemic in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has surpassed 1 700 deaths. Social resistance, a major barrier to control efforts, invites exploration of community beliefs around Ebola and its origins. We conducted a mixed-methods study, using four focus group discussions (FGDs) involving 20 participants, and a 19-item survey questionnaire, administered to a nonprobability sample of 286 community members throughout the outbreak zone. FGDs and surveys were conducted between 4 and 17 August 2018. FGDs revealed a widespread rumor early in the epidemic of two twins bewitched by their aunt after eating her cat, who developed bleeding symptoms and triggered the epidemic. However, this myth appeared to dissipate as the epidemic progressed and biomedical transmission became generally accepted. In our survey, 6% of respondents endorsed supernatural origins of Ebola. These respondents were more likely to believe that traditional medicine practitioners can cure Ebola. Wild animals were recognized as sources of Ebola by 53% and FGD participants commented that ‘Ebola leaves the forest and hides in the hospital,’ recognizing that zoonotic origins gave way to nosocomial transmission as the epidemic progressed. Taken together, our findings suggest that a dynamic syncretism of mythical and biomedical understanding of Ebola may have shaped transmission patterns. Mythical conceptions and fear of contagion may have fueled the ‘underground’ transmission of Ebola, as patients sought care from traditional healers, who are ill-equipped to deal with a highly contagious biohazard. A deeper understanding of beliefs around Ebola origins may illuminate strategies to engage communities in control efforts.
Fertility and the use of birthspacing methods in Malawi : an exploratory study of Mzimba district
Creators: name: Nowa, Joe H.

Year: 1986
Subjects: subject: Fertility, Human Malawi Mzimba District
subject: Birth intervals Malawi Mzimba District

description: This study was based on data from the 1984 Malawi Family Formation Survey which was a nationwide sample survey conducted by the National Statistical Office and the Ministry of Health. This is an exploratory study on fertility and the use of birthspacing methods in Malawi based on data for the 476 ever-married women in Mzimba District. The major limitation of the data was the small sample size which limited the number of factors to be examined. Furthermore, a detailed classification of the variables have not been analyzed because cell sizes would be too small to be meaningful. Because the sample was designed to obtain estimates of total number of women aged 15-49 and their children at the regional level for rural areas and at the national level for urban areas, this study used unweighted data examining fertility differentials of ever-married women by place of residence, age at marriage, type of marriage, education and husband's occupation as well as family size preferences and knowledge and use of birthspacing methods. The objective of the study was to identify major determinants of fertility in Mzimba. The number of children ever born alive was the measure of fertility. The study showed that fertility differentials existed only by age at first marriage and also between women who were first wives and those who were second or higher order wives in polygamous marriages. Woman's current age appeared to influence family size preference positively. The study revealed low levels of knowledge and use of birthspacing methods among women in Mzimba District.

Population mobility and migrant-village ties : a case study of two villages in East Java
Creators: name: Tukiran
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1986
Subjects: subject: Migration, Internal Indonesia Jawa Timur
subject: Jawa Timur (Indonesia) Population

description: For rural people in Java, population mobility, particularly temporary movement, is usually seen as a compromise between the high living costs and marginal wages in the destination places and the psychological trauma of separation from family and friends in the home village. This thesis investigates these aspects of population mobility in East Java, and in particular migrant-village tie s . The data used are from the National Population Mobility Survey, conducted in eight provinces in Indonesia in 1980. Two villages were studied in East Java, and the analyses here are based mainly on information from 153 migrants who were visiting their home village at the time of the survey. The study found that the main reasons for migrants to leave their home village were economic, while familial and socio-cultural motives were stated as the main reasons for choosing the destination place. The presence of kin and friends in the destination place can serve as a source of information and increase the probability of getting a job, and therefore the location of relatives or friends can affect the migrants' choice of destination place. The migrants reported that their incomes were higher after they moved. Migrants who had surplus cash were more likely to spend i t on modern goods and education of their families, while poorer migrants used their incomes to supplement basic consumption. Chain migration was extensive among migrants, particularly those who moved within Java. Assistance from kin and friends in the process of moving was high. newer latter Migrants often provided housing, food and skill training to migrants, which temporarily reduced the living costs of the and made their adjustments to the new way of life easier.

description: We construct new axially symmetric solutions of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in a four dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime. Possessing nonvanishing nonabelian charges, these regular configurations have also a nonzero angular momentum. Numerical arguments are also presented for the existence of rotating solutions of Einstein-Yang-Mills equations in an asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime.
