description: The dominant error sources for state-of-the-art laser-free trapped-ion entangling gates are decoherence of the qubit state and the ion motion. The effect of these decoherence mechanisms can be suppressed with additional control fields, or with techniques that have the disadvantage of reducing gate speed. Here, we propose using a near-motional-frequency magnetic field gradient to implement a laser-free gate that is simultaneously resilient to both types of decoherence, does not require additional control fields, and has a relatively small cost in gate speed.
Effect of assisted hopping on the formation of local moments in magnetic impurities and quantum dots

description: Assisted hopping effects in magnetic impurities and quantum dots are analyzed. The magnitude of the assisted hopping term in a quantum dot in the limit of large level spacing is comparable to other corrections induced by the electron-electron interactions. Assisted hopping leads to differences between conductance peaks associated to the same level, and, when the effect is sufficiently strong, to local pairing correlations.
Divine Disclosures: Religious Experiences as Evidence in Theology

description: The first half of this thesis argues that scepticism about the evidential force of religious experiences is driven by concerns about the traditional practices used to discern between ‘illusory’ and ‘genuine’ experiences. As these practices require commitment to a particular tradition, we have no way of deciding which practice to trust. Furthermore, the tests the practices employ do not bear on whether the experiences are veridical; and they are too coarse-grained for theologians to use them to regulate religious beliefs or seek theological truth. The thesis argues that we should seek new ways of evaluating religious experiences, and beliefs based on them, which address the concerns. The fourth chapter develops a procedure in which parties to religious disagreements understand God to be a perfect being, and use shared moral beliefs from outside their religious tradition to assign probabilities to putative divine actions, including religious experiences. The likelihood the divine action occurred given those moral beliefs is the likelihood the religious experience was veridical, addressing the second concern. The procedure attends closely to different sources of doubt, so avoiding the coarse granularity traditional practices are charged with. The thesis thereby argues against a sceptical response to difficulties faced by religious experiential evidence by offering a non-sceptical alternative which is articulated in enough detail to show how these difficulties can be surmounted. The fifth chapter completes the description of the procedure and shows how it can be used to formalize disputes in philosophical theology concerning the evidential import of divine hiddenness and religious diversity. The sixth chapter defends the procedure’s presumption that God is a perfect being by evaluating an Anselmian account of the reference of “God”.

Leuckart, 1849:169. Malmgren, 1866:386–387 (emend.).— Hessle, 1917:212.— Hutchings & Glasby, 1986:112.— Hartmann-Schröder, 1996:528.— Capa & Hutchings, 2006:23.
 Synonyms: Lumara Stimpson, 1854; Phenacia de Quatrefages, 1865; Venusia Johnston, 1865; Heterophenacia de Quatrefages, 1865; Neottis Malmgren, 1866; Thelephusa Verrill, 1871; Thelepodopsis Sars, 1872; Protothelepus Verrill, 1900; Terebellanice Hartmann-Schröder, 1962.
 Type species: Amphitrite cincinnatus Fabricius, 1780, by subsequent designation.
 Diagnosis: Zero to three pairs of digitate and sessile branchiae from segment 2; eyespots sometimes present; lateral lappets absent; ventral shields from segment 2; nephridial papillae present on range of segments 2–8; variable number of pairs of notopodia from segment 3; chaetae smooth-tipped, limbate, or oar-like; pairs of neuropodia from segment 5 until posterior end; uncini avicular, subrostral process button-shaped.
 Remarks: According to Holthe (1986b), there are no valid species described from the Grand Caribbean region; Thelepus crassibranchiatus Treadwell, 1901, from Porto Rico, was regarded as a junior synonym to T. cincinnatus (Fabricius, 1780), from Greenland, by Hartman (1959). Thelepus haitiensis Treadwell, 1931, from Haiti, was likewise regarded as a junior synonym to T. setosus (de Quatrefages, 1865), from France and the latter considered cosmopolitan. Nevertheless, type specimens of these synonymized species were compared with non-type specimens from the type locality of T. cincinnatus and T. setosus, and some important morphological differences were found. On the other hand, Hutchings and Glasby (1986) regarded both Euthelepus pascua Fauchald, 1977, from Panama, and Euthelepus tenuis (Verrill, 1900), from Bermuda, as members of Thelepus because of the absence of lateral lappets. Streblosoma verrilli Treadwell, 1911, belongs in Thelepus because it has notopodia from segment 3, instead of notochaetae from segment 2, as in Streblosoma. Finally, Londoño-Mesa and Carrera-Parra (2005) reported Thelepus sp. from the Mexican Caribbean and Gulf of Honduras. Thus, after this revision, the Grand Caribbean region has six distinct species: five valid ones and one unnamed.

description: We extend recent work of Hatsuda on the computation of quasinormal mode frequencies via analytic continuation of bound state energies and Borel-Pade resummation of the Bender-Wu perturbation series to the case of charged fields in the background of Reissner-Nordstrom black holes. We compare the quasinormal mode frequencies obtained in this manner to calculations using Leaver's method of continued fractions, and find good agreement for damped modes (DMs) with imaginary part remaining finite in the extremal limit. We also present numerical evidence that the frequencies of certain zero-damped modes (ZDMs) with imaginary part tending to zero in the extremal limit can be computed when constructing the Bender-Wu expansion about a peak of the potential inside the outer horizon of the black hole.

Finding the ‘human’ in the ‘posthuman’: The representation of the technologically enhanced posthuman in Young Adult fiction

Subjects: posthuman

description: Technology has become an increasingly significant element of humans’ lives in recent years, and it continues to shape them in ways hitherto only imaginable in science-fiction. Moving beyond humanism, the human/technology relationship has caused the question of what it means to be human to be considered through posthuman thought. I see the reality of technology’s effect on human lives giving rise to the figure of the posthuman, in which aspects of the human are replaced or enhanced by technology. Through the posthuman subject, I propose the idea of a postchild and the notion of a posthuman trialism as new ways in which to examine representations of posthumans. Texts aimed a teenage readers frequently offer perspectives on questions of identity formation and the need for adolescent protagonists to find their place in the world. I use a range of young adult texts, with a variety of different types of posthuman protagonists written over the past twenty years, to explore how the posthuman is represented through the narratives, and how power structures and ideologies are conveyed. Through my analyses I demonstrate that, despite technology’s apparent superiority, it is human qualities that remain more important in the posthuman, although the extent to which the human is prioritised depends on the way in which technology is employed. My findings provide a clear illustration of how teenage readers are being shown about the ways in which technology can be used and viewed in their lives, and how the human/technology relationship may shape their lives. While the presentations do not portend the dystopian vision of the future still prevalent in many people’s minds, they stress the need for humans’ use of technology to be questioned by its users and those with power in societies. My new approaches to the posthuman also mean that my work gives ways in which representations of the posthuman in any media can be critically examined.

Subjects: subject: Equity

subject: FOS: Law

description: In modern scholarship, the concept of equity is often assimilated with that of Aristotelian epieikeia, a process which serves to correct rules when, though their wording undoubtedly applies to a case, yet the outcome would be unjust, or the legislator would have never wanted the rule to be applied to such a case. My thesis deals with the early-modern origins of the association of equity and epieikeia in legal scholarship, and of its consequences for the doctrinal development of equity in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. I begin by showing that medieval legal writings on equity were almost completely unconcerned with epieikeia, and that the latter was only developed by philosophers and theologians. Legists and canonists developed a concept of equity that was unrelated – indeed mostly incompatible – with judicial discretion or the emendation of written rules. Thus, throughout the Middle Ages, there was almost no interaction between the writings of civil and canon lawyers on equity, and those of theologians on epieikeia. In the second chapter of my thesis, I show that the introduction of epieikeia in legal scholarship was the result of the influence of humanistic philology over the writings of humanist jurists, and argue that it caused the majority of early-modern authors to depart from medieval scholarship on equity, re-modelling instead equity as a doctrine of interpretation of the law beyond its letter in accordance with the intentions of the legislator. The final part of my thesis argues that the development of equity as epieikeia in legal scholarship broke down the barrier that had hitherto divided theological and legal writings on equity. Indeed, from the late sixteenth century onwards, legal and theological writings on equity were connected to such an extent that many later authors treated these two branches of scholarship as belonging to one, equally authoritative body of learning on the same topic.

description: Abiotic stresses such as droughts and floods significantly constrain rice production in India. New stress tolerant technologies have the potential to reduce yield variability and help insulate farmers from the risks posed by these hazards. Using discrete choice experiments conducted in rural Odisha, we estimate farmers’ valuation for drought-tolerant (DT) and submergence-tolerant (SubT) traits embodied in rice cultivars. Our results demonstrate that farmers in both drought-prone as well as submergence prone regions value reduction in yield variability offered by new, stress-tolerant cultivars, and would generally be willing to pay a significant premium for these traits. While virtually all farmers perceive the threat of drought and are willing to pay for protection against drought risk, only farmers in flood-prone areas would be willing to pay for rice that can withstand being submerged for prolonged periods, suggesting the potential for market segmentation along geographical or ecological lines.

description: We considered the structure of steady-state radiative shock waves propagating in the partially ionized hydrogen gas with density rho1 = 1e-10 gm/cm^3 and temperature 3000K <= T1 <= 8000K. The radiative shock wave models with electron thermal conduction in the vicinity of the viscous jump are compared with pure radiative models. The threshold shock wave velocity above of which effects of electron thermal conduction become perceptible is of U1=70 km/s and corresponds to the upstream Mach numbers from M1= 6 at T1=8000K to M1=11 at T1=3000K. In shocks with efficient electron heat conduction more than a half of hydrogen atoms are ionized in the radiative precursor, whereas behind the viscous jump the hydrogen gas undergoes the full ionization. The existence of the electron conductive precursor leads to the enhancement of the Lyman continuum flux trapped in the surroundings of the discontinuous jump. For upstream velocities ranged within 70 km/s <= U1 <= 85 km/s the partially ionized hydrogen gas of the radiative precursor undergoes the additional ionization (<= 5%), whereas the total radiave flux emerging from the shock wave increases by 10% <= delta(FRad) <= 25% .

The effect of acute physical activity on memory for vocabulary and linguistic rule learning

description: The purpose of this project was to observe the effect of a short bout of physical activity (PA) on the encoding and consolidation of linguistic information. In two sets of experiments, participants engaged in 20 to 30 minutes of moderate, aerobic PA in close temporal proximity to a memory task that targeted either vocabulary or linguistic rule learning. Vocabulary items were taught explicitly, in a manner thought to engage declarative memory systems. The rule-learning task, on the other hand, combined an explicit rule with an implicitly-taught rule, meant to be learnt by repeated exposure. This task intended to engage non-declarative, implicit memory systems. These two learning activities were chosen so as to observe whether PA would have selective effects on different memory systems and, by extension, on different aspects of language learning. In addition to looking at the general effects of PA on memory for language learning, factors that could mediate or moderate the effects of the PA intervention were also manipulated and measured throughout the experiments. For vocabulary, these included the influence of age (children vs. adults), gender (female vs. male), daily PA levels (high vs. low), memory retrieval process (recall vs. recognition), language aspect learnt (word form vs. meaning) and sleep-dependent consolidation (sleep vs. no-sleep). For the rule-learning, the factors manipulated were exercise timing (pre- or post-learning), age, gender and sleep-dependent consolidation. The results suggest that the effect of PA, when present, is not unmoderated. In general terms, it was found that PA enhanced performance on the explicit (vocabulary) but not implicit (rule) learning tasks. In addition, the influence of PA on the vocabulary learning task was different for participants of different genders and age groups and on different types of vocabulary and memory tasks (word form vs. meaning learning, recall vs. recognition). These findings will be discussed in relation to the current models of PA and cognition, advancing some possible theoretical explanations for the selective nature of the effects and proposing practical applications for the results.

 Type material: Holotype: USNM 53093 (1) Galeta Reef, Panama, 17.III.1972. Coll. K. Fauchald.
 Description: Holotype incomplete, 35 segments, 4.5mm long, 0.5mm wide (Figs 25A, B). Upper lip short, semicircular. Lower lip short, wide (Figs 25C,D). Tentacular membrane short; eyespots absent. No tentacles remaining. Twelve ventral shields; anterior most shields wider and swollen, and decreasing in width. Two single pairs of branchiae on segments 2–3 (Figs 25E,F); each branchia with a long, stout filament on each side, as long as 7 thoracic segments. First pair arising more laterally than second pair (second pair incomplete, missing left filament); each branchiae near anterior margin of segments. Nephridial papillae not seen. Notopodial glandular tissue not developed. Notopodia from segment 3; 32 pairs of notopodia; oar-like chaetae on two lengths (Figs 25 G-I). Pairs of neuropodia small on segment 6, then more visible and distinguishable, but low and flattened. Thoracic uncini (Figs 25J from Fauchald, 1977b; 25K) with dental formula MF:2–4:4–5:7; PP developed as a heel; PF absent; Oc slightly convex; Cp with three series of accessory teeth decreasing in size; Sr narrow; SrP as square button close to rounded AP; SrA absent; AF absent; Bs strongly curved. Pygidium missing.
 Staining pattern: Only ventral shields stain deeply. Other structures do no stain.
 Discussion: The holotype is the only specimen known so far. Hutchings and Glasby (1986) transferred the species from Euthelepus to Thelepus because of the lack of lateral lappets. After their revision, they stated that the specimen has 29 segments with notochaetae, which was missing in the original description. Nevertheless, there are 32 segments with notochaetae, with the last ones not easily visible. Further, the holotype includes an anterior fragment, without the abdominal portion; thus, the abdominal neuropodia reported in the original description might belong to a lost abdominal fragment lost. No other species in the genus has been described with a single pair of branchial filaments. On the other hand, chaetae were never drawn in the original and subsequent descriptions. Oar-like chaetae have not been reported in this subfamily. Thus, the number of single branchial filaments and the presence of paleate chaetae confirm the validity of the species.

description: Oxygen is the main sensory stimulus that promotes aggregation and elicits O2- escape behaviour in C. elegans. It also constitutes a salient cue for this nematode that reprograms its behavioural strategies as well as physiology after prolonged oxygen experience. However, it is not known how other sensory modalities affect O2-escape behaviour. Moreover, the molecular details of how oxygen alters C. elegans behavioural preferences are elusive. Wild isolates of C. elegans aggregate and avoid oxygen at high concentrations, whereas both behaviours are suppressed in the N2 reference strain by a gain of function mutation in the neuropeptide receptor 1 (npr-1). This mutation, among other things, sculpts the flow of information in the O2-circuit and prevents O2-evoked Ca2+ responses in the sensory neuron ADL. Here, we perform a forward genetic screen to isolate mutants that confer O2-escape behaviour on N2 animals. Using whole-genome sequencing and genetic mapping, we identify several conserved genes not previously shown to regulate aggregation. Among these, we characterise mutants that do not show defects in O2-evoked Ca2+ responses in URX and RMG, but show increased secretion of dense-core vesicles from ADL, which could be rescued cell specifically for at least one mutant. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this increased neurosecretion is likely to results from sensitisation of ADL neurons to incoming activity from the O2-circuit. In fact, while N2 does not modulate ADL neurosecretion according to ambient oxygen levels, mutants with enhanced ADL neurosecretion acquire this feature. These mutants also display defects for other sensory modalities, including pheromone-evoked Ca2+ responses in ADL. These data provide a link between defective sensory perception and O2-escape behaviour. Reminiscent of how sensory deprivation induces homeostatic plasticity, we propose that, in sensory defective mutants, similar mechanisms might sensitise ADL to incoming activity from the O2-circuit and promote O2-escape behaviour. Moreover, we also investigate the extent to which prolonged oxygen exposure reprograms the O2-circuit. These results shed light on how changes in one sensory modality reprograms responses to other sensory modalities.

description: Financial and technological innovations that mitigate weather-related production risks have the potential to greatly benefit farmers in many risk-prone. In this study we examine farmers’ preferences for two distinct tools that allow them to manage drought risk: weather index insurance and a recently released drought-tolerant rice variety. We illustrate how these tools can independently address drought risk and demonstrate the additional benefits gained by combining them into a complementary risk management product. Findings indicate that farmers are generally unwilling to adopt the drought-tolerant variety independent of insurance, largely due to a yield penalty under non-drought conditions. When bundled with insurance, however, farmers’ valuation of the variety increases. Farmers value insurance on its own, but even more so when bundled with the drought-tolerant variety. The results provide evidence that farmers value the complementarities inherent in a well-calibrated bundle of risk management tools.

description: We discuss the possibility of using OH and H2O gigamasers to trace the redshift distribution of luminous, dust-obscured, star-forming galaxies. It has long been thought that ultraluminous, interacting galaxies should host gigamasers due to their vast pumping IR luminosity, the large column density of molecules available to populate the maser states and the turbulent motion of the gas in these dynamically complex systems which allows unsaturated maser emission. OH masers may thus be well-suited to the redshift-blind detection of ultraluminous and hyperluminous infrared galaxies (L_FIR >= 10^12 L_sun) such as those uncovered by the SCUBA submillimetre camera. The bandwidth requirement is low, <1 GHz for z=1-10 (lower still if additional redshift constraints are available) and the dual-line 1665-/1667-MHz OH spectral signature can act as a check on the reality of detections.

description: In this paper we standardize, compare, and aggregate results from thirteen surveys of technology experts, performed over a period of five years using a range of different methodologies, but all aiming at eliciting expert judgment on the future cost of five key energy technologies and how future costs might be influenced by public R&D investments. To enable researchers and policy makers to use the wealth of collective knowledge obtained through these expert elicitations we develop and present a set of assumptions to harmonize them. We also aggregate expert estimates within each study and across studies to facilitate the comparison. The analysis showed that, as expected, technology costs are expected to go down by 2030 with increasing levels of R&D investments, but that there is not a high level of agreement between individual experts or between studies regarding the technology areas that would benefit the most from R&D investments. This indicates that further study of prospective cost data may be useful to further inform R&D investments. We also found that the contributions of additional studies to the variance of costs in one technology area differed by technology area, suggesting that (barring new information about the downsides of particular forms of elicitations) there may be value in not only including a diverse and relatively large group of experts, but also in using different methods to collect estimates.

description: The marginal retail value of coffee attributes are estimated for the U.S. marketHedonic implicit prices identify the marginal market values of alternative products and market strategies. Results indicate that Estate and Fair Trade designations detract, rather than add, value to coffees sold in U.S. retail markets. Organic certification offers no net value-added relative to natural production. Market premiums for origin labeling are limited to coffee exporting areas with long-standing reputations for high quality coffee. There are positive and economically significant rewards to flavor characteristics, roast type and recent innovations in single-serve packaging. Overall, the greatest value opportunity for coffee supplier is in the cup, not in ancillary, non-flavor characteristics.
A cross-cultural investigation of learning among Hadza and BaYaka hunter- gatherer children and adolescents from Tanzania and Congo

description: Unlike other species, humans can be found in nearly every ecological niche in the world, from the Kalahari Desert to the Arctic Circle. Humans are able to inhabit these environments because we rely on skill and knowledge transmitted and improved upon from one generation to the next. Thus, studying learning is essential to understanding the diversity in, and evolution of, human cultures. Hunter-gatherers may be especially important to study knowledge transmission because these populations are culturally distinct from Western societies, and because hunting and gathering is the oldest human subsistence strategy. Thus, hunter- gatherers can shed light on the cultural variability in, and evolution of, learning in humans. This dissertation sought to explore how teaching, play, and participation contribute to knowledge acquisition using an observational dataset of 46 Hadza and 65 BaYaka children and adolescents from Tanzania and Congo. Specifically, I sought to investigate (1) how similarities and differences in the socioecologies of forager childhood contributed to variation in teaching, (2) the development of gender-typed play and gender segregation during play among hunter- gatherer children and adolescents, and (3) how cultural and ecological variation contributed to differences in children’s participation in economic work. Results showed that child-to-child teaching was common among foragers, but that the identity of specific child teachers varied according to subsistence and settlement patterns. Features inherent to hunter-gatherer life, such as living in small, mobile camps with few age mates, and a gendered division of labour in adulthood, explained observed gender differences in the play of hunter-gatherer children. Finally, BaYaka and Hadza adults provided opportunities for children’s autonomous participation, and in doing so, facilitated the acquisition of both skill-based knowledge, the foundational schema of autonomy, and gender norms. Taken together, these findings challenged the accepted notion that children are passive recipients of resources, instead highlighting the ways in which children actively seek, and transmit, knowledge. These findings also highlighted the importance of examining ecological, cultural, and demographic contexts for child development.

description: We present the first orbital elements for the massive close binary, HD 101131, one of the brightest objects in the young, open cluster, IC 2944. This system is a double-lined spectroscopic binary in an elliptical orbit with a period of 9.64659 +/- 0.00012 days. It is a young system of unevolved stars (approximately 2 million years old) that are well within their critical Roche surfaces. We use a Doppler tomography algorithm to reconstruct the individual component optical spectra, and we apply well known criteria to arrive at classifications of O6.5 V((f)) and O8.5 V for the primary and secondary, respectively. We compare the reconstructed spectra of the components to single star, spectrum standards to determine a flux ratio of f_2/f_1 = 0.55 +/- 0.08 in the V-band. Both components are rotating faster than synchronously. We estimate the temperatures and luminosities of the components from the observed spectral classifications, composite V magnitude, and cluster distance modulus. The lower limits on the masses derived from the orbital elements and the lack of eclipses are 25 solar masses and 14 solar masses for the primary and secondary, respectively. These limits are consistent with the larger masses estimated from the positions of the stars in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and evolutionary tracks for single stars.

description: We examine interactions between dark matter and dark energy in light of the latest cosmological observations, focusing on a specific model with coupling proportional to the dark energy density. Our data includes Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) measurements from the Planck 2018 legacy data release, late-time measurements of the expansion history from Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and Supernovae Type Ia (SNeIa), galaxy clustering and cosmic shear measurements from the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 results, and the 2019 local distance ladder measurement of the Hubble constant $H_0$ from the Hubble Space Telescope. Considering Planck data both in combination with BAO or SNeIa data reduces the $H_0$ tension to a level which could possibly be compatible with a statistical fluctuation. The very same model also significantly reduces the $Ω_{\rm m}-σ_8$ tension between CMB and cosmic shear measurements. Interactions between the dark sectors of our Universe remain therefore a promising joint solution to these persisting cosmological tensions.

description: The curriculum for ApEc 3551 at the University of Minnesota has evolved as the class has been taught for the past five years. The class involves focus on group projects and the creation of a business plan for a new ag or food product. What has been missing is the students ability to judge the quality of written business plans in a real world context. The author was selected to judge the Minnesota Cup business plan competition during 2014. This responsibility consisted of reviewing initial proposals(over 80 ) submitted for the business plan competition and voting on the merits of each through three successive rounds of the competition. The later round required a full business plan and investor proposals. Live presentations for the final round were used to select a winner for the category. The category judged by the author was the Food , Ag and Beverage division. A total of seven divisions were judged for the Minnesota Cup. Cash prizes are awarded for each division and one overall winner over all divisions is selected. Cash prizes are awarded in the amount of $20000 for each division and a prize of $50000 for the overall winner. This paper reports of the involvement of students in ApEc 3551 in judging a business plan competition using actual entries for the Minnesota Cup.
The origin of the radio emission from beta Lyrae

description: In this paper we present new observational evidence that supports the presence of an extra source of continuum emission in the binary system beta Lyrae. New VLA and IRAM observations, together with published data from the literature and ISO archive data, allow us to build the Spectral Energy Distribution of the binary between 5x10^9 Hz and 5x10^15Hz. The radio-millimeter part of the spectrum is consistent with free-free emission from a symbiotic-like wind associated with the primary component and ionized by the radiation field of the hidden companion. Furthermore, we also consider the possibility that the observed radio flux originates from collimated radio structures associated with the mass gaining component and its disk (Conical thermal jets). An extrapolation of this emission to the far-IR part of the spectrum indicates that in both cases the free-free contribution at these frequencies cannot explain the observations and that the observed infrared excess flux is due principally to the secondary component and its associated disk.

Lifting a Realistic SO(10) Grand Unified Model to Five Dimensions

description: It has been shown recently that the problem of rapid proton decay induced by dimension five operators arising from the exchange of colored Higgsinos can be simply avoided in grand unified models where a fifth spatial dimension is compactified on an orbifold. Here we demonstrate that this idea can be used to solve the Higgsino-mediated proton decay problem in any realistic SO(10) model by lifting that model to five dimensions. A particular SO(10) model that has been proposed to explain the pattern of quark and lepton masses and mixings is used as an example. The idea is to break the SO(10) down to the Pati-Salam symmetry by the orbifold boundary conditions. The entire four-dimensional SO(10) model is placed on the physical SO(10) brane except for the gauge fields, the 45 and a single 10 of Higgs fields, which are placed in the five-dimensional bulk. The structure of the Higgs superpotential can be somewhat simplified in doing so, while the Yukawa superpotential and mass matrices derived from it remain essentially unaltered.
