description: We conduct 3D magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulations in order to test the stability of the magnetic equilibrium configuration described by Duez & Mathis (2010). This analytically-derived configuration describes the lowest energy state for a given helicity in a stellar radiation zone. The necessity of taking into account the non force-free property of the large-scale, global field is here emphasized. We then show that this configuration is stable. It therefore provides a useful model to initialize the magnetic topology in upcoming MHD simulations and stellar evolution codes taking into account magneto-rotational transport processes.

Spin dynamics of current driven single magnetic adatoms and molecules

description: A scanning tunneling microscope can probe the inelastic spin excitations of a single magnetic atom in a surface via spin-flip assisted tunneling in which transport electrons exchange spin and energy with the atomic spin. If the inelastic transport time, defined as the average time elapsed between two inelastic spin flip events, is shorter than the atom spin relaxation time, the STM current can drive the spin out of equilibrium. Here we model this process using rate equations and a model Hamiltonian that describes successfully spin flip assisted tunneling experiments, including a single Mn atom, a Mn dimer and Fe Phthalocyanine molecules. When the STM current is not spin polarized, the non-equilibrium spin dynamics of the magnetic atom results in non-monotonic $dI/dV$ curves. In the case of spin polarized STM current, the spin orientation of the magnetic atom can be controlled parallel or anti-parallel to the magnetic moment of the tip. Thus, spin polarized STM tips can be used both to probe and to control the magnetic moment of a single atom.

A Funerary Epigram for Diokles the Rhodian Dramatist
Creators: name: Coward, Thomas
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2020

description: This funerary verse inscription, found in 1976, is for the previously unknown dramatist Diokles of Rhodes. This entry re-examines the text based on visual autopsy, proposes a new supplement on the last line, and sets the poem within the literary and inscribed epitaphic traditions for deceased poets (tragedians in particular). It also considers what this poem tells us about Rhodian dramatic competitions in the Hellenistic period. It looks at the interplay between inscribed and literary epigrams, what this epigram tells us about poetry of the south-east Aegean, and the reception of literary funerary epigrams of Classical authors in the Hellenistic era.

The Problematic Opening of the Nepotian Biography by Conone
Creators: name: Ginelli, Francesco
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2020

description:

The paper focuses on several historical and textual problems that afflict the opening part of Nepos’ biography written by the Athenian general Conon. In the first chapter, the paper will underscore the encomiastic purposes that characterise this life. Then, the paper will analyse the use of the words praetor and praefectus made by Nepos in the Liber. This analysis is strictly connected to a textual problem that characterises the clause praefectus classis magnas mari gessit (Con. 1.1): here the paper suggests that the text of the manuscript tradition could be saved through textual and historical data. In the third and final section, the paper will try to explain which kind of honos, according to Nepos, Conon received after his military achievements on land and sea.

Graphical Method for Effective Interaction with a New Vertex Function

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: Introducing a new vertex function, Z(E), of an energy variable E, we derive a new equation for the effective interaction. The equation is obtained by replacing the Q-box in the Krenciglowa-Kuo (KK) method by Z(E). This new approach can be viewed as an extension of the KK method. We show that this equation can be solved both in iterative and non-iterative ways. We observe that the iteration procedure with Z(E) brings about fast convergence compared to the usual KK method. It is shown that, as in the KK approach, the procedure of calculating the effective interaction can be reduced to determining the true eigenvalues of the original Hamiltonian H and they can be obtained as the positions of intersections of graphs generated from Z(E). We find that this graphical method yields always precise results and reproduces any of the true eigenvalues of H. The calculation in the present approach can be made regardless of overlaps with the model space and energy differences between unperturbed energies and the eigenvalues of H. We find also that Z(E) is a well-behaved function of E and has no singularity. These characteristics of the present approach ensure stability in actual calculations and would be helpful to resolve some difficulties due to the presence of poles in the Q-box. Performing test calculations we verify numerically theoretical predictions made in the present approach.

Republication in Iasos of an Athenian Decree of Proxeny
Creators: name: Rossini, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2020

description: The agora of Iasos in Caria yielded a 3rd/2nd century BC decree which fulfilled a certain Kydias’ proposal to display the copy of the Athenian-proxeny conferral to three earlier Iaseans. The Iasean part retains a valuable passage about the rare Archive of the Prostates, while the copy allowed a progress in the exegesis of the original decree; it also allowed to form hypotheses on the context of the honours to the three Iaseans and on the reasons that led Iasos and Kydias to commemorate them. It is instrumental, in this sense, to understand the other survived Athenian provision, about the arrangement of a group of philo-Athenian Iaseans.

Year: 2020

description:

The paper investigates Livy’s use of geographic and spatial references in his narrative of the Second Punic War, underlining the important role played by the ideal opposition between centre and periphery. Livy represents the Hannibalic War as an ebb-and-flow movement, developed over the whole decade: books 21-25 stage the attack launched by the world’s periphery towards its centre, while the Romans’ counterattack in books 26-30 is described as a projection of Rome’s power outside the borders of Italy.

Quantifiers in Kwak'wala
Creators: name: Moewaki, Ayako
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This thesis describes and analyzes the syntax and semantics of quantification in Kwak’wala, a Northern Wakashan language spoken on Vancouver Island and the adjacent mainland of British Columbia. In standard accounts of quantification, quantifiers can be divided into two categories: strong quantifiers and weak quantifiers (Barwise and Cooper (1981), Keenan (1996), Milsark (1979), Partee (1988)). Taking the strong/weak distinction as a starting point, this thesis documents the syntactic and semantic features of Kwak’wala quantifiers, focusing on wi'la (‘all’), ḵ̓ina̱m (‘many’), and numerals, and examining their behavior at the syntax-semantics interface. In line with Milsark’s predictions, only the Kwak’wala equivalent of English weak quantifiers are allowed to stand as main predicates in sentences which are the equivalents of existential sentences in English. This thesis describes the distinction between strong and weak readings for the weak quantifier ḵ̓ina̱m (‘many’): there is no correlation between its positions and strong vs. weak interpretations, except in sentences which are the equivalent of existential sentences in English. The lack of a correlation between interpretation and DP-internal position is different from the prediction of standard accounts of quantification, by e.g. Partee (1988). This thesis also investigates quantifier scope. I show that Kwak’wala has collective, distributive, and cumulative readings. The presence of distributive and inverse distributive readings shows that this language possesses quantifiers which undergo real scopal interactions (unlike, for example, St'át'imcets as shown by Davis (2010)).

Perspectives of Parents and School Staff on Parental Engagement With Education: A Foucauldian Informed Analysis

description: This research explored parental engagement with education in the UK. It used an exploratory paradigm to investigate what schools and parents understand by the term parental engagement, what the perceived purpose of parental engagement with schools is (from the perspective of both parents and school staff) and the Foucauldian themes that emerge from the parents’ and schools’ constructs. The research was conducted from a critical realist perspective and explored realities through a Foucauldian lens. Ten participants were recruited, and findings were gathered using semi structured interviews conducted on an online platform. Data were analysed using thematic analysis with a deductive, theoretical and semantic Foucauldian perspective. Research questions 1, 2 and 3 used a semantic thematic analysis, and research question 4 was approached using a semantic and latent analysis. Themes and subthemes were identified for each of the four research questions. Participants constructed a range of meanings and understanding for the term parental engagement, and purposes for engagement, including perceived outcomes for children and parents. Parents and schools identified ways that parents engage with school, many of which are centred around the sharing and receiving of information. Children’s academic attainment was identified by both groups as the key purpose of parental engagement with education, and all acknowledged that parents engage because they seek to ‘do the right thing’ for their child. Power, and how it operates between people and institutions, was at the heart of the analysis. Two overarching Foucauldian themes were identified: governmentality of parents and Panoptic society. From a broad, societal perspective, parents experience school and the education system as a technology of power which uses divisive practices and governmentality to maintain order and shape governable subjects. The researcher proposes the use of these findings to influence local policy and practice around parental engagement, removing barriers, and furthering considerations around power and knowledge between parents and schools.
title: Long-profile evolution of transport-limited gravel-bed rivers
Creators: name: Wickert, Andrew D.
name: Schildgen, Taylor F.
Publisher: name: Universität Potsdam
Year: 2019

description: Alluvial and transport-limited bedrock rivers constitute the majority of fluvial systems on Earth. Their long profiles hold clues to their present state and past evolution. We currently possess first-principles-based governing equations for flow, sediment transport, and channel morphodynamics in these systems, which we lack for detachment-limited bedrock rivers. Here we formally couple these equations for transport-limited gravel-bed river long-profile evolution. The result is a new predictive relationship whose functional form and parameters are grounded in theory and defined through experimental data. From this, we produce a power-law analytical solution and a finite-difference numerical solution to long-profile evolution. Steady-state channel concavity and steepness are diagnostic of external drivers: concavity decreases with increasing uplift rate, and steepness increases with an increasing sediment-to-water supply ratio. Constraining free parameters explains common observations of river form: to match observed channel concavities, gravel-sized sediments must weather and fine – typically rapidly – and valleys typically should widen gradually. To match the empirical square-root width–discharge scaling in equilibrium-width gravel-bed rivers, downstream fining must occur. The ability to assign a cause to such observations is the direct result of a deductive approach to developing equations for landscape evolution.

description: Wave propagation in disordered media can be strongly modified by multiple scattering and wave interference. Ultimately the so-called Anderson-localized regime is reached when the waves become strongly confined in space. So far, Anderson localization of light has been probed in transmission experiments by measuring the intensity of an external light source after propagation through a disordered medium. However, discriminating between Anderson localization and losses in these experiments remains a major challenge. Here we present an alternative approach where we use quantum emitters embedded in disordered photonic crystal waveguides as light sources. Anderson-localized modes are efficiently excited and the analysis of the photoluminescence spectra allows to explore their statistical properties paving a way for controlling Anderson localization in disordered photonic crystals.

Two Jews Bless God at a Temple of Pan

Year: 2020

description: On the rock walls at the Pan temple in al-Kanāys (Egypt), stand out two blessings to God from men with Greek names who define themselves as Ἰουδαῖοι. Their presence in a pagan place of worship is likely to be interpreted in the sense of sharing a common epigraphic practice, inspired by the need to send an eternal thanks for the protection during a difficult journey. The nature of the divinity does not seem to have been a problematic element. These graffiti can be seen as an example of integration and hellenization while maintaining their own religious identity. The dating can probably be placed in the second part of the Ptolemaic period.

Tanta religio et ea magna ex parte externa (25, 1, 6-12). Foreign Cults and Religious Crisis in 213 BC
Creators: name: Todaro, Giovanna
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2020

description:

The religio externa crisis examined in the article belongs to Rome’s religious framework and presents the relationship between the national interest and new unofficial trends. The facts refer to the end of 213, that is, to a still critical phase of the Second Punic War. New rites of an external origin unleash a political case when they leave the private dimension and express themselves in public. The magistrati minores are overwhelmed by the crowd of newcomers; the intervention of the praetor urbanus is needed, who orders the confiscation of the new religious materials. Among these emerge two texts in verse (the Carmina Marciana), containing the post quem prophecy of the defeat of Canne and the prescription of the ludi Apollinares, as a religious and political remedy to the present crisis. Order and national harmony are re-established, without repression and with partial attention paid to new religious and social demands.

description:

Synesius’ Encomium calvitii can be interpreted as an excellent example of late-antique satyr, which aims to denounce the decline of contemporary society by criticising its most prominent members; philosophers, rhetoricians, religious people, soldiers, romanized barbarians, characters of dubious morality. The conceptual complexity and the ideological proximity to the De Regno and the Dio confirm the opinion of modern scholars that the work is a product of the writer’s intellectual ripeness that can be dated to the years 403-404 CE.

description: Trait-based approaches to investigate (short- and long-term) phytoplankton dynamics and community assembly have become increasingly popular in freshwater and marine science. Although the nature of the pelagic habitat and the main phytoplankton taxa and ecology are relatively similar in both marine and freshwater systems, the lines of research have evolved, at least in part, separately. We compare and contrast the approaches adopted in marine and freshwater ecosystems with respect to phytoplankton functional traits. We note differences in study goals relating to functional trait use that assess community assembly and those that relate to ecosystem processes and biogeochemical cycling that affect the type of characteristics assigned as traits to phytoplankton taxa. Specific phytoplankton traits relevant for ecological function are examined in relation to
herbivory, amplitude of environmental change and spatial and temporal scales of study. Major differences are identified, including the shorter time scale for regular environmental change in freshwater ecosystems compared to that in the open oceans as well as the
type of sampling done by researchers based on site-accessibility. Overall, we encourage researchers to better motivate why they apply trait-based analyses to their studies and to make use of process-driven approaches, which are more common in marine studies. We further propose fully comparative trait studies conducted along the habitat gradient spanning freshwater to brackish to marine systems, or along geographic gradients. Such studies will benefit from the combined strength of both fields.

description: We study paraxial beam propagation along the wedge axis of a disclinated amorphous medium. The defect-induced inhomogeneity results in Berry phase and curvature that are affected by the induced uniaxial anisotropy. The Berry phase manifests itself as a precession of the polarization vector. The Berry curvature is responsible for the optical spin Hall effect in the disclinated medium, where beam deflection varies sinusoidally along the paraxial direction. Its application in determining the birefringence and the magnitude of the Frank vector is explained.

Moreover, such a procedure inevitably affects the cosmic background radiation and it may be observed today. Motivated by the existence of stabilized embedded defects in the standard model of elementary interactions, we discuss their application to the cosmological electromagnetic field generation.

Ammianus seems to recover some ethics- and character-related concepts from previous (i.e. classical) historiography, which are obviously reworked according to personal thought and narrative strategies. The paper analyses the expressions gravitas and prisci mores in some passages from Ammianus. These passages and the related terminology in the Res Gestae are then compared to Livy, Tacitus and other authors, previous and contemporary to Ammianus, in order to highlight how some concepts representing a specific kind of virtue in the late antiquity lexicon undergo transformations.

description:

The analysis of many of the references to the ancient Republican past contained in the last lives of the Historia Augusta reveals that the unknown biographer was familiar with this context, even though, however, he was not very interested in it. His frequent allusions to specific episodes and events were mostly taken from Cicero and Livy, and were intended to colour the story and often to raise its tone, more often also with the aim to confuse and amaze the reader through multiple ioca. Among other things, also the events of the alleged censorship of Valerianus and the hypothetical interregnum after Aurelianus’ death are focused on.

description: An exact calculation of electromagnetic scattering from a perfectly conducting parabolic cylinder is employed to compute Casimir forces in several configurations. These include interactions between a parabolic cylinder and a plane, two parabolic cylinders, and a parabolic cylinder and an ordinary cylinder. To elucidate the effect of boundaries, special attention is focused on the "knife-edge" limit in which the parabolic cylinder becomes a half-plane. Geometrical effects are illustrated by considering arbitrary rotations of a parabolic cylinder around its focal axis, and arbitrary translations perpendicular to this axis. A quite different geometrical arrangement is explored for the case of an ordinary cylinder placed in the interior of a parabolic cylinder. All of these results extend simply to nonzero temperatures.

The present work focuses on the peculiarity of the codex Parisinus Suppl. Gr. 388. This manuscript is marked by a 12th-century Latin translation, running above some Greek verses of Theognis’ Elegies and entirely above the poems by Pseudo-Phocylides’ Sentences and by Dionysius Periegetes’ Description of the Known World. Moreover, the translator reviewed the Greek poems too. Hence, in this study I will focus on the correction and translation of Theognis’ Elegies and Pseudo-Phocylides’ Sentences. Firstly, I will carry out a palaeographic analysis of the scholar’s writing. Secondly, I will scrutinize the Latin translation. Finally, I will analyse the corrections on Greek texts.

description: We present a near-infrared photometric search for unresolved substellar companions and debris disks around white dwarfs in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey Large Area Survey. We cross-correlate the SDSS DR4 and McCook & Sion catalogues of white dwarfs with the UKIDSS DR8 producing 3109 and 163 unique matches respectively. Cooling models are fitted to the optical photometry of a subsample of DA white dwarfs and extended to the near-infrared. A comparison is then made with the observed photometry to identify those stars with a near-infrared excess consistent with the presence of a cool companion or debris disk. Where present, we have estimated the approximate spectral type of any putative companion, or an upper limit on the temperature of a debris disk. In total we identify 14-16 new candidate white dwarf + very low mass stellar systems, 9-11 candidate white dwarf + brown dwarf systems, and 3 candidate white dwarf + debris disks. We place lower limits on the unresolved (<2") companions to all DA white dwarfs and thus assess the sensitivity of UKIDSS to such objects. We use this result to estimate unresolved binary fractions of f(WD+dL)>0.4+/-0.3%, f(WD+dT)>0.2% and f(WD+BD)>0.5+/-0.3%.

description: I saggi del gruppo di ricerca del Dipartimento di Scienze della Comunicazione dell’Università di Teramo che costituiscono Metropoli e nuovi consumi culturali si basano su diverse prospettive di studio, convergenti verso l’analisi delle rappresentazioni culturali della metropoli contemporanea e sulle «nuove identità nello spazio fluido delle città sempre più estese, interconnesse e omogeneizzate della postmodernità» (Introduzione: 9). La metropoli postmoderna è ipertestuale, apre simultaneamente a infiniti spazi reali e virtuali, connessi tra loro dalle logiche della «new consumer culture» (Esposito: 50) e resi continui da «infrastrutturazioni mediali» (Scuderi: 61).

description: The research analyzes aspects of the spot forex intraday trading and the existing models based on macro fundamentals or describing market microstructure. Most of analysis is done on high frequency data, over an extensive period and on 70 currency pairs. A hybrid model based on microstructure approach was proposed. GARCH approach is used to reflect the volatility clustering, and alpha-stable distributions describe the heavy tails behavior. The new model outperforms the previously existing models.

Magneto-acoustic wave propagation and mode conversion in a magnetic solar atmosphere: comparing results from the CO5BOLD code with ray theory

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present simulations of magneto-acoustic wave propagation in a magnetic, plane-parallel stratified solar model atmosphere, employing the CO5BOLD-code. The tests are carried out for two models of the solar atmosphere, which are similar to the ones used by Cally (2007) and Schunker & Cally (2006). The two models differ only in the orientation of the magnetic field. A qualitative comparison shows good agreement between the numerical results and the results from ray theory. The tests are done in view of the application of the present numerical code for the computation of energy fluxes of propagating acoustic waves into a dynamically evolving magnetic solar atmosphere. For this, we consider waves with frequencies above the acoustic cut-off frequency.

local appearance modeling

description: The proposed face recognition algorithm utilizes representation of local facial regions with the DCT. The local representation provides robustness against appearance variations in local regions caused by partial face occlusion or facial expression, whereas utilizing the frequency information provides robustness against changes in illumination. The algorithm also bypasses the facial feature localization step and formulates face alignment as an optimization problem in the classification stage.
We Are [Not Just] What We Are: Monstrosity, Modernity, and Multiculturalism in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld
Creators: name: Soulsby, Samson
Publisher: name: University of Wollongong

Subjects: classificationCode: 470527
subject: Popular and genre literature

description: This dissertation analyses Pratchett’s sophisticated, but ultimately limited, use of monsters as a vehicle for social commentary and moral exploration in his hugely popular Discworld series. Through close reading of four iconic Discworld monsters, I examine how Pratchett deploys these reimagined figures in his narratives and what he uses each monster to say about the real world beyond the page.All four monstrous species I analyse in depth in this dissertation—the ore, the golem, the vampire, and the werewolf—are unified under Pratchett’s ongoing interest in the fundamental challenges of existing in society with others, particularly in light of the need to maintain one’s freedom and authentic self without compromising the prosocial contract of living in community. In each chapter, I discuss each type of non-human citizen to illustrate how he utilises these monsters with a metaphoric tilt to explore complicated issues relating to how to live well alongside difference in a modem, multicultural world, including considerations into the limits of tolerance, the relation to the Other, and the complex and often fraught interaction between tradition and modernity.On the surface, Pratchett’s writing presents a positive view of diversity and difference in society, while championing moral regard for others and the self, individual freedom, liberal values, and entrepreneurialism. At the same time, his writing questions the cost of coercive assimilation for the Other, even in a supposedly heterogeneous society; and reveals an inclination towards paternalistic leadership, an unwillingness to closely examine structures and institutions of privilege, and a belief that the limiting factors of class and wealth can be overcome by hard work and determination. In this regard, the Discworld’s largest city, Ankh-Morpork, represents both the best and worst of Pratchett’s imagined modernity.I argue Pratchett’s vision of a modem, multicultural world and future is built upon such ambivalent ground as this and his work grapples with great unanswered questions—sometimes successfully, and sometimes not. The popularity of his work speaks to the resonance these themes have for his broad readership, and I suggest his use of monsters to this end both illuminate Pratchett’s own challenges with these ideas as well as reflecting on the greater societal anxiety of his era.

description: The emerging threat of ciguatera poisoning (CP) in Europe has been associated with fish captured in the Canary Islands (Spain) and Selvagens Islands (Portugal). The first are heavily populated islands where numerous scientific studies have been carried out. Conversely, the Selvagens Islands as a nature reserve with low human pressure have been rarely surveyed in terms of the marine benthic microalgae, including the epiphytic ciguatera-causing dinoflagellate species. To investigate the harmful microalgal diversity of the Selvagens Islands, a scientific cruise to these remote islands took place in September, 2018. The Gambierdiscus species composition and distribution, and the associated epiphytic dinoflagellate community, were assessed using artificial substrate devices. Gambierdiscus cells were found in all samples, reaching concentrations of up to 725 cells 100 cm–2. G. australes was the only species identified after morphological and molecular analysis of the retrieved cultures. Species identification was confirmed by molecular characterization based on the LSU D8–D10 region. Nevertheless, phylogenetic studies indicated that some strains diverged from the G. australes clade suggesting genetic differentiation. Toxicity was estimated by neuro-2a cell-based assay in four strains, ranging from 2.46–83 fg of CTX1B eq. cell–1. The epiphytic dinoflagellate community that co-occurred with Gambierdiscus comprised other toxic or potentially toxic dinoflagellates, such as Ostreopsis, Prorocentrum, Amphidinium and Coolia species. Oceanographic and meteorological data were also obtained to characterize the occurrence of Gambierdiscus. This study is the first stage in understanding the role of the Selvagens Islands in the incubation and proliferation of the ciguatera-causing dinoflagellates Gambierdiscus in the NE Atlantic. The Selvagens Islands are a ciguatera hotspot in Europe.Gambierdiscus australes was the only species observed in the Selvagens Islands.Strains diverging from the G. australes clade suggest genetic differentiation.

description: We present a new Monte Carlo tool that computes full tree-level matrix elements in high-energy physics. The program accepts user-defined models and has no restrictions on the process multiplicity. To achieve acceptable performance, CAMORRA evaluates the matrix elements in a recursive way by combining off-shell currents. Furthermore, CAMORRA can be used to compute amplitudes involving continuous color and helicity final states.
