description: We analyzed the transverse momentum spectra of positively and negatively charged pions ($\pi^+$ and $\pi^-$), positively and negatively charged kaons ($K^+$ and $K^-$), protons and antiprotons ($p$ and $\bar p$), as well as $\phi$ produced in mid-(pseudo)rapidity region in central nucleus--nucleus (AA) collisions over a center-of-mass energy range from 2.16 to 2760 GeV per nucleon pair. The transverse momentum of the considered particle is regarded as the joint contribution of two participant partons which obey the modified Tsallis-like transverse momentum distribution and have random azimuths in superposition. The calculation of transverse momentum distribution of particles is performed by the Monte Carlo method and compared with the experimental data measured by international collaborations. The excitation functions of effective temperature and other parameters are obtained in the considered energy range. With the increase of collision energy, the effective temperature parameter increases quickly and then slowly. The boundary appears at around 5 GeV, which means the change of reaction mechanism and/or generated matter.

CATHERINE DE’ MEDICI AND THE ART OF SELF-DEFINITION IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY FRANCE
Creators: name: Curry, Taylor
Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 3601
subject: Art history, theory and criticism

description: Catherine de’ Medici (1519-1589) was defined in part by the powerful men in her life: her uncle Pope Clement VII (1523-1534), her husband Henri II (1519-1559), King of France, and later her sons Francis II (1544-1560), Charles IX (1550-1574), and Henri III (1551-1589). Despite attempts by others to elide her individual identity and hold her power in check, Catherine created politically effective representations of herself, her position, and her authority through commissioning and displaying art. The artistic sphere was not inherently political, which allowed Catherine to redefine her identity outside of male influence and to take ownership of the multiple, intersecting roles she occupied as a wife, widow, and mother. By creating an identity that included this assemblage of roles, Catherine created her own independent narrative that asserted her political authority and individual identity. Catherine was not the first early modern woman to creatively define herself outside of societal expectations. While breaking from tradition in certain ways, in others she utilized approaches similar to those that Margaret of Austria (1480-1530), Regent of the Netherlands, had used in Mechelen a generation earlier and encouraged her female descendants, specifically her granddaughter Christine de Lorraine (1565-1637), and the next generation to do the same, including the future queen of France Marie de’ Medici (1575-1642). These three generations of women collectively show the power of self-created female identity and also reveal that Catherine, while unique in many ways, was not the only elite woman of the sixteenth century to sidestep societal constructs to define herself and her role through art. In so doing, she advanced her socio-political position to personal and familial benefit.
A study on the statistical significance of mutual information between morphology of a galaxy and its large-scale environment

description: A non-zero mutual information between morphology of a galaxy and its large-scale environment is known to exist in SDSS upto a few tens of Mpc. It is important to test the statistical significance of these mutual information if any. We propose three different methods to test the statistical significance of these non-zero mutual information and apply them to SDSS and Millennium Run simulation. We randomize the morphological information of SDSS galaxies without affecting their spatial distribution and compare the mutual information in the original and randomized datasets. We also divide the galaxy distribution into smaller subcubes and randomly shuffle them many times keeping the morphological information of galaxies intact. We compare the mutual information in the original SDSS data and its shuffled realizations for different shuffling lengths. Using a t-test, we find that a small but statistically significant (at 99.9% confidence level) mutual information between morphology and environment exists upto the entire length scale probed. We also conduct another experiment using mock datasets from a semi-analytic galaxy catalogue where we assign morphology to galaxies in a controlled manner based on the density at their locations. The experiment clearly demonstrate that mutual information can effectively capture the physical correlations between morphology and environment. Our analysis suggests that physical association between morphology and environment may extend to much larger length scales than currently believed and the information theoretic framework presented here, can serve as a sensitive and useful probe of the assembly bias and large-scale environmental dependence of galaxy properties.

description: We report the results of a survey of radio continuum emission of Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars north of declination -46 degrees. The observations were obtained at 8.46 GHz (3.6cm) using the Very Large Array (VLA), with an angular resolution of about 6 x 9 arcsec and typical rms noise of 0.04 mJy/beam. Our survey of 34 WR stars resulted in 15 definite and 5 probable detections, 13 of these for the first time at radio wavelengths. All detections are unresolved. Time variations in flux are confirmed in the cases of WR98a, WR104, WR105 and WR125. WR79a and WR89 are also variable in flux and we suspect they are also non-thermal emitters. Thus, of our sample 20-30% of the detected stars are non-thermal emiters. Average mass loss rates determinations obtained excluding definite and suspected non-thermal cases give similar values for WN (all subtypes) and WC5-7 stars, while a lower value was obtained for WC8-9 stars. Uncertainties in stellar distances largely contribute to the observed scatter in mass loss rates. Upper limits to the mass loss rates were obtained in cases of undetected sources or for sources which probably show additional non-thermal emission.

description: Research on empathic abilities in individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) offers mixed findings. Studies have demonstrated that individuals with BPD, in comparison to healthy controls, are better at detecting emotions in others (i.e., empathic accuracy) but worse at regulating their affective reactions to others’ emotions (i.e., personal distress). However, the majority of findings are inconclusive. Since emotion regulation plays a crucial role in empathic processes, the present study explored whether emotion regulation strategy use moderates the relationship between BPD trait severity and empathy. All participants answered a questionnaire assessing BPD trait severity. Before watching a distressing video, 122 participants were randomized to either an expressive suppression, cognitive reappraisal, or uninstructed control condition. Instructions to either suppress or reappraise emotions were presented immediately before the video. The video entailed a mock text conversation between a student and a crisis counselor involving grief and suicide. Before and after the video, participants completed two measures of empathy: a measure of personal distress followed by an empathic accuracy task. Moderation analyses indicated that, for individuals with high BPD traits, reappraisal led to greater personal distress after the video compared to suppression. Reappraisal also led to higher empathic accuracy, for those with high BPD traits, compared to the control condition. Collectively, these findings highlight the importance of exploring emotion regulation strategies as moderating factors in the relationship between BPD traits and empathy. These results also suggest that cognitive reappraisal may be a poor strategy to use for individuals with more BPD traits compared to suppression when it comes to reducing distress, but an adaptive strategy when it comes to increasing empathic accuracy.

description: The levels and dimensions of income inequality in Africa are heterogeneous, with varying degrees of intensity, diversity and drivers. Since 1990, income inequality trends in the continent have been multi-dimensional, exhibiting a rising, a falling, a U-shaped, or an inverted U-shaped (∩) trends.1 These variations emphasise the importance of achieving a deeper understanding of each of these trends in Africa towards identifying key drivers and to offer policy recommendations for the countries associated with each trend. Focusing on specific drivers of progress on income inequality allows for a clear understanding of why some countries make significant progress while others lag behind. This focus also makes it possible to draw policy lessons regarding human and institutional factors that define successes and failures in African countries.

description: In 2012, Bilicki and Seikel (arXiv:1206.5130) showed that $H(z)$ data reconstructed using Gaussian Process Regression from cosmic chronometers and BAO, conclusively rules out the $R_h=ct$ model. These results were disputed by Melia and collaborators in two different works (arXiv:1304.1802 and arXiv:1802.02255), who showed using both an unbinned analysis and Gaussian Process reconstructed $H(z)$ data from chronometers, that $R_h=ct$ is favored over $Λ$CDM model. To resolve this imbroglio, we carry out model comparison of $Λ$CDM versus $R_h=ct$ by independently reproducing the above claims using latest chronometer data. We perform model selection between these two models using Bayesian model comparison. We find that no one model between $Λ$CDM and $R_h=ct$ is decisively favored when uniform priors on $Λ$CDM parameters are used. However, if we use priors centered around the Planck best-fit values, then $Λ$CDM is very strongly preferred over $R_h=ct$.

description: We theoretically study the Coulomb drag resistivity and plasmon modes behavior for a system composed of two parallel p-type doped GaS monolayers with Mexican-hat valence energy band using the Boltzmann transport theory formalism. We investigate the effect of temperature,$\ T$, carrier density,$\ p$, and layer separation,$\ d$, on the plasmon modes and drag resistivity within the energy-independent scattering time approximation. Our results show that the density dependence of plasmon modes can be approximated by$\ p^{0.5}$. Also, the calculations suggest a$\ d^{0.2}$ and a$\ d^{0.1}$ dependencies for the acoustic and optical plasmon energies, respectively. Interestingly, we obtain that the behavior of drag resistivity in the double-layer metal monochalcogenides swings between the behavior of a double-quantum well system with parabolic dispersion and that of a double-quantum wire structure with a large carrier density of states. In particular, the transresistivity value reduces exponentially with increasing the distance between layers. Furthermore, the drag resistivity changes as$\ T^{2}/p^{4}$ ($\ T^{2.8}/p^{4.5}$) at low (intermediate) temperatures. Finally, we compare the drag resistivity as a function of temperature for GaS with other Mexican-hat materials including GaSe and InSe and find that it adopts higher values when the metal monochalcogenide has smaller Mexican-hat height.

Why is it So Hot in Here? Exploring Population Trends in $\textit{Spitzer}$ Thermal Emission Observations of Hot Jupiters using Planet-Specific Self-Consistent Atmospheric Models

description: Thermal emission has now been observed from many dozens of exoplanet atmospheres, opening the gateway to population-level characterization. Here, we provide theoretical explanations for observed trends in $\textit{Spitzer}$ IRAC channel 1 (3.6 $\mu m$) and channel 2 (4.5 $\mu m$) photometric eclipse depths (EDs) across a population of 34 hot Jupiters. We apply planet-specific, self-consistent atmospheric models, spanning a range of recirculation factors, metallicities, and C/O ratios, to probe the information content of $\textit{Spitzer}$ secondary eclipse observations across the hot-Jupiter population. We show that most hot Jupiters are inconsistent with blackbodies from $\textit{Spitzer}$ observations alone. We demonstrate that the majority of hot Jupiters are consistent with low energy redistribution between the dayside and nightside (hotter dayside than expected with efficient recirculation). We also see that high equilibrium temperature planets (T$_{eq}$ $\ge$ 1800 K) favor inefficient recirculation in comparison to the low temperature planets. Our planet-specific models do not reveal any definitive population trends in metallicity and C/O ratio with current data precision, but more than 59 % of our sample size is consistent with the C/O ratio $\leq$ 1 and 35 % are consistent with whole range (0.35 $\leq$ C/O $\leq$ 1.5). We also find that for most of the planets in our sample, 3.6 and 4.5 $\mu m$ model EDs lie within $\pm$1 $\sigma$ of the observed EDs. Intriguingly, few hot Jupiters exhibit greater thermal emission than predicted by the hottest atmospheric models (lowest recirculation) in our grid. Future spectroscopic observations of thermal emission from hot Jupiters with the James Webb Space Telescope will be necessary to robustly identify population trends in chemical compositions with its increased spectral resolution, range and data precision.

description: This report is the final project for CIVL 498C, Life Cycle Analysis, which is being taken as a Civil Engineering fourth year technical elective. The subject of this report is Allard Hall, which is the building for the Faculty of Law on UBC Point Grey campus. Detailed information about Allard Hall is contained in this report. The life cycle analysis, as well as accompanying definitions and information, are detailed in this report. A life cycle assessment was performed previously for this building, also as a final project for a previous year of this class. For this project the previous LCA report and model was reorganized and modified where appropriate. To do this the take-off software On Screen Take-off, as well as the Athena Impact Estimator for Buildings software were used. Subsequent to the reassessment of the building, benchmarks for impact categories were created using LCA information from various other UBC buildings. The results of the reassessment of Allard Hall were then compared with the benchmarks, and the results were that Allard Hall had significantly lower impacts than the benchmarks. All of the information concerning the results of the LCA study on Allard Hall, as well as the comparison with the generated benchmarks are included in this report with accompanying figures.Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: One hundred and five 15mu selected objects in three ISO deep survey fields (CFRS 3h, UDSR and UDSF) are studied on the basis of the high quality optical spectra with resolution R>1000 from VLT/FORS2. Ninety two objects (88%) have secure redshifts, ranging from 0 to 1.16 with a median value of 0.587. Considerable care is taken in estimating the extinction property of individual galaxy, which can seriously affect diagnostic diagrams and estimates of star formation rates and of metal abundances. Two independent methods have been adopted to estimate extinction, e.g. Balmer line ratio (A_V(Balmer)) and energy balance between IR and Hbeta luminosities (A_V(IR)). For most of the z>0.4 luminous IR galaxies (LIRGs), the two extinction coefficients are consistent well, with median values of A_V(IR) = 2.36. These distant LIRGs show many properties strikingly in common with those of local (IRAS) LIRGs studied by Veilleux et al. (1995). Our sample can provide a good representation of LIRGs in the distant Universe. Most (>77%) ISO 15mu selected sample galaxies are dominated by star formation. Oxygen abundances (12+log(O/H), derived from R23 and O32) in ISM in the distant LIRGs range from 8.36 to 8.93 with a median value of 8.67. Distant LIRGs present a metal content less than half of that of the local bright disks (i.e. L*). The Pegase2 models predict that total masses (gas + stars) of the distant LIRGs are from 10^{11} Msun to <=10^{12} Msun. A significant fraction of distant large disks are indeed LIRGs. Such massive disks could have formed ~50% of their metals and stellar masses since z~1.

description: Over the past decade, Africa has experienced unprecedented demand for large scale agricultural land. Africa accounts for more than half of the volume of land acquired and close to two-thirds of the total deals globally. Yet, there is dearth of empirical evidence on demand for arable land in Africa. This paper provides some econometric analysis of the key determinants of large scale land acquisition in Africa. Evidences from bivariate and multi-variate analyses show that both economic and institutional factors play some critical role in explaining demand for large scale arable land in Africa. Key determinants include high yield gap, low per capita income, abundant inland water resources, low property rights and prevalence of corruption. To make the recent surge in land demand beneficial in terms of agricultural transformation, improved livelihoods for the rural people and reduce poverty, it is important to ensure both economic and institutional factors create positive incentives to the local economy, rural farmers and the poor. This includes making fertilizer available, increasing local farmers’ access to agricultural infrastructures (e.g. irrigation, tractors and storage facilities), investing in land registration and certification, and improving land governance and procedures.
Editorial: Introduction to the Special Issue Based on Papers Submitted at the Business Model Conference 2020

description: The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many events around the world to be cancelled, including the Business Model Conference 2020. The Conference Chairs, the Scientific Committee, and the Conference Committee discussed the possibility of hosting an online conference but thought that meeting virtually would not have provided participants with the same sense of community feeling experienced in previous years, when the Business Model Conference brought together international academics and practitioners from a multitude of disciplines to discuss the latest research and innovative teaching methods. Therefore, the decision was made to cancel the 2020 Conference. Despite this, the Editorial Board of the Journal of Business Models did not want the papers submitted to be a wasted effort; thus, it selected and reviewed the 11 papers included in this Special Issue. Originality, significance, and rigor were the three criteria that guided the selection and the review process, leading to a mix of papers that tackle business model issues from different angles and employ different research methods.

description: We calculate inclusive photoproduction cross-sections for both proton and nuclei targets, using a saturation model derived from an approximate solution to the Balitsky-Kovchegov nonlinear evolution equation. This paper extends our hypothesis, that one can successfully use the dipole picture and saturation models to describe soft processes, instead of the soft Pomeron Regge parametrization. Our fit is compatible with our previous fit to DIS data, and utilizes the same phenomenological parameters as in our paper devoted to soft hadronic interactions. Using the Glauber formalism, and no additional parameters, we calculate the cross-sections for photoproduction on various nuclei, and compare our results with the relevant data.

description: A deep learning model gives an incredible result for image processing by studying from the trained dataset. Spinach is a leaf vegetable that contains vitamins and nutrients. In our research, a Deep learning method has been used that can automatically identify spinach and this method has a dataset of a total of five species of spinach that contains 3785 images. Four Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models were used to classify our spinach. These models give more accurate results for image classification. Before applying these models there is some preprocessing of the image data. For the preprocessing of data, some methods need to happen. Those are RGB conversion, filtering, resize & rescaling, and categorization. After applying these methods image data are pre-processed and ready to be used in the classifier algorithms. The accuracy of these classifiers is in between 98.68% - 99.79%. Among those models, VGG16 achieved the highest accuracy of 99.79%.

description: We consider two problems arising in the study of the Schrödinger-Newton equations. The first is to find their Lie point symmetries. The second, as an application of the first, is to investigate an approximate solution corresponding to widely separated lumps of probability. The lumps are found to move like point particles under a mutual inverse-square law of attraction.

description: 68. Ochna nitida sensu DC.
in Ann. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat. 17: 412. 1811 [non O. nitida Sw.].
= Ochna jabotapita L., Sp. Pl.: 513. 1753.
Notes. – CANDOLLE (1811, 1824) identified and depicted a Thunberg collection from Ceylon in the Houttuyn herbarium (“v.s. in h. Deless.”) as “ Ochna nitida Thunb. ” He noted that the species came from “ India orient.”, but created confusion by citing “Thunb. prod. 67”. The cited page of this work (THUNBERG, 1794a) lists taxa of Hexandria, whereas Ochna L. belongs to the Polyandria monogynia, which are dealt with in the second volume (THUNBERG, 1800: 92), although no Ochna are listed there. “ Ochna nitida Thunb. ” is cited twice by THUNBERG (1794b: 132; 1825: 7) as a nom. nud. (JUEL, 1918: 251).
It is clear that de CANDOLLE (1811, 1824) mistakenly cited THUNBERG’s Prodromus (1794a) when he actually intended to cite that of SWARTZ (1788). This is even more obvious from the description of the name, where de CANDOLLE (1811: 412) wrote “ calyci aequalia juxta Thunbergium”, referring to SWARTZ (1788: 67): “calycibus corolla aeqvalibus”.
Ochna nitida Sw. refers to a Roger Shakespear material from Jamaica, whereas de Candolle’s misapplication of that name refers to a plant from Ceylon currently known as O. jabotapita L.
KANIS (1987: 248) designated a specimen in G-DC as the type of “ Ochna nitida Thunb. ex DC. ” but this misapplied name has no nomenclatural status.
Material of Ochna jabotapita L. (= O. nitida sensu DC.) is present in the Thunberg herbarium (UPS-THUNB n° 12528, n° 12539 and n° 12540) and in G-DC [G00310780, G00310781]). The latter two sheets are from Houttuyn’s herbarium but were originally in the Delessert herbarium, and were probably incorporated by de Candolle in his own herbarium, as no specimen has been located in G-PREL.

description: The development of troglomorphism in a variety of subterranean lineages has led to many questions involving the mechanisms driving the convergent evolution of these phenotypes. The complex nature of these traits, such as eye regression and increased extra-optic systems, make understanding the role of adaptation, neutral mutations and pleiotropy in the development of these phenotypes even more challenging. A key factor in understanding these mechanisms is to identify possible genes of interest through comparison of organisms with different degrees of troglomorphism. This study analyzes gene expression of two populations of two Amphipods, Stygobromus tenuis and Crangonyx shoemaker in the Washington, DC and Great Falls, MD area. These species, although collected from the same hypotelminorheic habitat, show a varying degree of troglomorphism, with S. tenuis believed to have adapted strictly to the subterranean habitat due to loss of functional eyes and pigment. Cross-species differential gene expression showed significant downregulation of 8 genes involved in eye development along with significant upregulation of 2 genes with an eye function, one being involved in programmed retinal cell death. Furthermore, this study identifies many other possible genes of interest in the development of troglomorphic traits that should be considered in future studies involving subterranean organisms.

description: Superconductivity is a remarkably widespread phenomenon observed in most metals cooled down to very low temperatures. The ubiquity of such conventional superconductors, and the wide range of associated critical temperatures, is readily understood in terms of the celebrated Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. Occasionally, however, unconventional superconductors are found, such as the iron-based materials, which extend and defy this understanding in new and unexpected ways. In the case of the iron-based superconductors, this includes a new appreciation of the ways in which the presence of multiple atomic orbitals can manifest in unconventional superconductivity, giving rise to a rich landscape of gap structures that share the same dominant pairing mechanism. Besides superconductivity, these materials have also led to new insights into the unusual metallic state governed by the Hund's interaction, the control and mechanisms of electronic nematicity, the impact of magnetic fluctuations and quantum criticality, and the significance of topology in correlated states. Over the thirteen years since their discovery, they have proven to be an incredibly fruitful testing ground for the development of new experimental tools and theoretical approaches, both of which have extensively influenced the wider field of quantum materials.

description: Mia Flores lives in rural Joshua Tree, California, with her immigrant father. When she is sixteen, her father is forced to find alternative work and secures summer housing for Mia with an All- American family in Bend, Oregon. In a small, unsuspecting town, Mia is forced to explore her preconceived notions about how the better half lives under the pressing thumb of her changing adolescence. While the summer passes, she meets two fellow friends, Arlynn and Jean, who help her understand what it takes to grow up and escape the landscape of their failing American ideals.

description: We introduce and analyze a new quantity, the path integral ideal, governing the flow of generic discrete theories to the continuum limit and greatly increasing their convergence. The said flow is classified according to the degree of divergence of the potential at spatial infinity. Studying the asymptotic behavior of path integral ideals we isolate the dominant terms in the effective potential that determine the behavior of a generic theory for large discrete time steps.

description: The thermodynamics of black holes is discussed for the case, when the Newton constant $G$ is not a constant, but is the thermodynamic variable. This gives for the first law of the Schwarzschild black hole thermodynamics: $dS_\text{BH}= -AdK + \frac{dM}{T_\text{BH}}$, where the gravitational coupling $K=1/4G$, $M$ is the black hole mass, $A$ is the area of horizon, and $T_\text{BH}$ is Hawking temperature. From this first law it follows that the dimensionless quantity $M^2/K$ is the adiabatic invariant, which in principle can be quantized if to follow the Bekenstein conjecture. From the Euclidean action for the black hole it follows that $K$ and $A$ serve as dynamically conjugate variables. This allows us to calculate the quantum tunneling from the black hole to the white hole, and determine the temperature and entropy of the white hole.
