description: We consider an augmented Einstein-Maxwell-scalar model including an axionic-type coupling between the scalar and electromagnetic field. We study dyonic black hole solutions in this model. For the canonical axionic coupling emerging from high energy physics, all charged black holes have axion hair. We present their domain of existence and investigate some physical properties. For other axionic-type couplings, two classes of black hole solutions may co-exist in the model: scalar-free Reissner-Nordström black holes and scalarised black holes. We show that in some region of the parameter space, the scalar-free solutions are unstable. Then, there is non-uniqueness since new scalarised black hole solutions with the same global charges also exist, which are entropically preferred over the scalar-free solutions and, moreover, emerge dynamically from the instability of the former.

description: In this work we analyse the functional ${\cal J}(u)=\|\nabla u\|_\infty$ defined on Lipschitz functions with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our analysis is performed directly on the functional without the need to approximate with smooth $p$-norms. We prove that its ground states coincide with multiples of the distance function to the boundary of the domain. Furthermore, we compute the $L^2$-subdifferential of ${\cal J}$ and characterize the distance function as unique non-negative eigenfunction of the subdifferential operator. We also study properties of general eigenfunctions, in particular their nodal sets. Furthermore, we prove that the distance function can be computed as asymptotic profile of the gradient flow of ${\cal J}$ and construct analytic solutions of fast marching type. In addition, we give a geometric characterization of the extreme points of the unit ball of ${\cal J}$. Finally, we transfer many of these results to a discrete version of the functional defined on a finite weighted graph. Here, we analyze properties of distance functions on graphs and their gradients. The main difference between the continuum and discrete setting is that the distance function is not the unique non-negative eigenfunction on a graph.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of the depot medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable (DMPA) and of the levonorgestrel (LNG) implant on genital HIV shedding among women receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). METHODS: We randomized HIV-infected Malawian women to either DMPA or LNG implant from May 2014 to April 2015. HIV RNA was measured in cervicovaginal lavage (CVL) fluid and TearFlo Strips (TFS), and HIV DNA was measured in cells collected by CVL. We compared the frequency and magnitude of HIV genital shedding before and for 6 months after initiation of contraception and between arms among women receiving ART. We also compared genital HIV RNA levels obtained by sample type (TFS versus CVL). RESULTS: We analyzed data for 68 HIV-infected women receiving ART: 33 randomized to DMPA and 35 randomized to the LNG implant. Overall, HIV RNA was more often detectable and the quantity was higher on TFS compared with CVL. HIV DNA was detected very rarely in CVL cell samples (4 of 360 samples). The frequency of genital shedding and the genital HIV quantity did not increase after contraceptive initiation with either DMPA or LNG implant among women receiving ART. CONCLUSIONS: HIV-infected women receiving ART initiating contraception with either DMPA or LNG implant did not have any increase in genital HIV shedding during the first 6 months of contraceptive use. These findings are consistent with growing evidence that progestin contraception is not associated with increased HIV transmission risk from such women to their male partners. Consistent with other studies, genital HIV RNA detection was higher in TFS than in CVL fluid. IMPLICATIONS: In this randomized trial, neither DMPA nor the LNG implant, two of the most commonly used hormonal contraceptives among African women with HIV, was associated with increased genital HIV shedding in HIV-infected women receiving ART. These findings are reassuring and add to the currently limited information available for the highly effective contraceptive, LNG implant.

description: The state role in economic development policy has increased as the federal government has devolved selected programs to balance growth and incomes among different part of the country. Rapid growth in coastal states and the suburban areas around many cities, and stagnation or decline in areas that have remained rural has intensified economic development debate. Within the broad spectrum of economic development policy, significant resources are focused on state industrial recruitment through tax abatements. This article uses the Michigan experience to illustrate how current application of tax abatements may increase geographic income inequality, and that some adjustment in the policy would be needed if policy makers want to rectify the unequal distribution of tax expenditure. We also argue that localities have few incentives to reject or limit, which can lead to overuse of the tool. Relatively straightforward countervailing measures such as a cap on per capita use of abatements, together with payments to localities that do not use their quota of abatements, could improve the effectiveness of overall state economic development policy by increasing the level of local public debate about the use of abatements and making funds available for alternatives to tax abatements.

description: How can we model user behavior on social media platforms and social networking websites? How can we use such models to characterize behavior on social media
and infer about human behavior and preferences at scale? Specifically, how can we describe users that indulge in posting about risk-taking behavior on social media or
mobilize against a particular entity in a firestorm event on Twitter? Online social network platforms (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Yelp) provide means for users to express themselves, by posting content in the form of images
and videos. These platforms allow users to not only interact with content (liking, commenting) but also to other users (social connections, chatting) and items (through
ratings and reviews), thus providing rich data with huge potential for mining unexplored and useful patterns. The availability of such data opens up unique opportunities
to understand and model nuances of how users interact with such socio-technical systems, while also contributing novel algorithms that can predict genuine user behavior
and also detect malicious entities at such a large scale.
In this dissertation, we focus on two broad topics - (a) understanding user behavior on social media platforms and (b) detecting fraudulent activities on these platforms.
For the first part, we concentrate on user behavior in two different settings - (i) individual user behavior, where we analyze behavior of actions taken at individual
scale for example modeling how does individual’s expertise in e-commerce systems (such as wine rating, movie rating) evolve over time? and how can that be used to
recommend the next product? The second sub-part (ii) focusses on user-based phenomena, where multiple users are analyzed collectively to discover an interesting
phenomena, for example what are the characteristics of communication pattern between users participating in a firestorm event. In the second setting, we tackle the
problem of detecting fraudulent activities on social media platforms. We solve two related sub-themes in the problem area, in the first sub area, we characterize various
fraudulent activities on social media platforms and propose anomaly detection models to identify fraudulent users and activities. For the next sub-area we propose models that are not only confined to social media platforms, but can also be
extended to general settings. Overall, this thesis looks at two closely related problems i.e. modeling user behavior on social media platforms, and then using similarly
generated models to detect abnormal and potentially fraudulent behavior.

description: Black hole - accretion disc systems are the central engines of relativistic jets from stellar to galactic scales. We numerically quantify the unsteady outgoing Poynting flux through the horizon of a rapidly spinning black hole endowed with a rotating accretion disc. The disc supports small-scale, concentric, flux tubes with zero net magnetic flux. Our General Relativistic force-free electrodynamics simulations follow the accretion onto the black hole over several hundred dynamical timescales in 3D. For the case of counter-rotating accretion discs, the average process efficiency reaches up to $\left\langleε\right\rangle\approx 0.43$, compared to a stationary energy extraction by the Blandford/Znajek process. The process efficiency depends on the cross-sectional area of the loops, i.e. on the product $l\times h$, where $l$ is the radial loop thickness and $h$ its vertical scale height. We identify a strong correlation between efficient electromagnetic energy extraction and the quasi-stationary setting of ideal conditions for the operation of the Blandford/Znajek process (e.g. optimal field line angular velocity and fulfillment of the so-called Znajek condition). Remarkably, the energy extraction operates intermittently (alternating episodes of high and low efficiency) without imposing any large-scale magnetic field embedding the central object. Scaling our results to supermassive black holes, we estimate that the typical variability timescale of the system is of the order of days to months. Such timescales may account for the longest variability scales of TeV emission observed, e.g. in M87.

description: The study of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has rarely been as relevant as today. Both recent events, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and more long-term trends, including democratic backsliding in Poland and Hungary as well as unresolved ethnic and territorial conflicts in the Balkans, underscore the need to engage with the region as well as with its historical, social and political developments. However, while many textbooks on European politics have extended their coverage to include CEE (in particular those countries that joined the EU), only few have the ambition to cover the region in depth. Over the last two decades, only two specialised English-language textbooks have emerged that aim to equip students with the necessary knowledge to engage in further research on the region of which the book under review is one. Given the rapidly shifting political landscape of CEE, the publication of a revised and updated version of “Central & East European Politics” is therefore a particularly welcome occasion. Now in its fifth edition and under new editorship, the book has undoubtedly maintained the high standard of its predecessors and remains the most comprehensive and informative introductory text on Central and Eastern Europe available in English.

Remarks. Orlitia borneensis is the largest freshwater turtle in S.E. Asia and is native to Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo (TTWG 2021). Given its requirement for large rivers, O. borneensis cannot be native to Singapore since Singapore never had large rivers. As O. borneensis is trafficked for food, individuals were likely obtained as pets and subsequently released. Orlitia borneensis has been observed at LR, MR, Night Safari, SBG, Singapore Zoo, USR, and even NSSF (Ng & Lim 2010; Chua 2014a; Law et al. 2014; S. Subaraj 2015; Teo, 2022).

title: pH, electric conductivity and delayed luminescence changes in human sera of subjects undergoing the Relaxation Response: a preliminary study and theoretical considerations
Creators: name: Dal Lin, Carlo
Publisher: name: Organisms
Year: 2021

description: In our recent works we reported that physical and chemical characteristics of serum can vary in relation to the psychic activity of an individual depending on whether it is oriented to stress or relaxation. We wandered if these observations could be accompanied by an appreciable modification of the Ph, electric conductivity and Delayed Luminescence of the same serum samples. Our preliminary data may suggest that the serum pH could significantly increase during a Relaxation Response intervention while electric conductivity seems to decrease. Moreover, Delayed Luminescense could vary in the same subject according to the Relaxation Response practice. According to our preliminary data, we postulate the appearance of a coherent system within the blood samples analyzed after the Relaxation Response. Further researches and some technical development are needed to support our preliminary findings.

description: Many of the biggest environmental policies are federal : the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and so forth. Yet those federal laws leave important niches to be filled by state authorities; there are areas of environmental policy in which state governments can and should take the lead. Some state policy initiatives are of particular relevance to rural areas. However, two questions must be answered before attempts are made to formulate any such state policy: which environmental problems are “rural?” and “what role should state government play?” I provide recommendations for state policy related to water pollution and species conservation which employ pollution standards, economic incentives, liability policy enforcement, and measures to improve the technical capacity of state environmental agencies. These problems are likely to be important in many states, and thinking through them provides an opportunity to showcase some general principles of state environmental policy formation.

description: Concern among state legislators about rural development and rural land use is not new. In many states, agriculture remains an important feature of the economic, cultural, and political landscape. As rural incomes, populations, and prosperity have declined, states have adopted a variety of policies in response. Rural land and development policies in most states, however, are often more symbolic than influential, poorly integrated, and grossly misguided (Audirac, 1997). For rural areas, very few states mandate or facilitate rural comprehensive planning, often due to opposition from rural legislators. Farmlands (cropland and grazing land) constitute the largest share of land use by acreage in the country and have an even higher share in the rural areas (USDA, 2000). Although a relatively smaller and decreasing part of the overall economy, farmland uses employ 21 percent of the nation’s workforce (including processing, wholesale and retail trade of farming goods) and about 7 percent of nation’s workforce in production (2002 numbers). Therefore, focusing planning on urban land use alone is unfortunate, because rural areas, perhaps even more than their urban counterparts, have much to gain from comprehensive planning.
Coherence length and nuclear shadowing for transverse and longitudinal photons
Creators: name: Raufeisen, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study nuclear shadowing for transverse and longitudinal photons. The coherence length, which controls the onset of nuclear shadowing at small Bjorken-x is longer for longitudinal than for transverse photons. The light-cone Green function technique properly treats the finite coherence length in all multiple scattering terms. This is especially important in the region x>0.01, where most of the data exist. NMC data on shadowing in deep inelastic scattering are well reproduced in this approach. We also incorporate nonperturbative effects, in order to extrapolate this approach to small photon virtualities Q^2, where perturbative QCD cannot be applied. This way, we achieve a description of shadowing that is based only on quark and gluon degrees of freedom, even at low Q^2.

Thermo-electric transport properties of Floquet multi-Weyl Semimetals

description: We discuss the circularly polarized light (of amplitude $A_0$ and frequency $ω$) driven thermo-electric transport properties of type-I and type-II multi-Weyl semimetals (mWSMs) in the high frequency limit. Considering the low energy model, we employ the Floquet-Kubo formalism to compute the thermal Hall and Nernst conductivities for both types of mWSMs. We show that the anisotropic nature of the dispersion for arbitrary integer monopole charge $n>1$ plays an important role in determining the effective Fermi surface behavior; interestingly, one can observe momentum dependent corrections in Floquet mWSMs in addition to momentum independent contribution as observed for Floquet single WSMs. Apart from the non-trivial tuning of the Weyl node position $\pm Q \to \pm Q- A_0^{2n}/ω$, our study reveals that the momentum independent terms result in leading order contribution in the conductivity tensor. This has the form of $n$ times the single WSMs results with effective chemical potential $μ\to μ-A_0^{2n}/ω$. On the other hand, momentum dependent corrections lead to sub-leading order terms which are algebraic function of $μ$ and are present for $n>1$. Remarkably, this analysis further allows us to distinguish type-I mWSMs from their type-II counterparts. For type-II mWSMs, we find that the transport coefficients for $n\geq 2$ exhibit algebraic dependence on the momentum cutoff in addition to the weak logarithmic dependence as noticed for $n=1$ WSMs. We demonstrate the variation and qualitative differences of transport coefficients between type-I and type-II mWSM as a function of external driving parameter $ω$.

Land Economics/Use

description: Although all land use is local, few problems require the more urgent attention of state legislators than that of land use. How land is used has important economic, social and environmental consequences that may affect all residents of a state. States must take on more active roles as coordinators and conveners in the arena of land use planning if they are to address the challenges of growth, development and environmental protection in urban and rural areas. In so doing, they have to tread cautiously and thoughtfully given the historically entrenched bias towards local control of land use decisions and the potential for intergovernmental distrust and animosity (Nicholas 1999).
title: The construction of the Genetic Order, a short critical history
Creators: name: Papillon, Daniel
Publisher: name: Organisms. Journal of Biological Sciences
Year: 2021

description: Genetics, as all human activities, is a situated practice. Given its enormous cultural and epistemological influence, the young age of the discipline may be surprising - not even 150 years old. The creation of the science of the heredity and production of traits in organisms responded to 19th century’s epistemological needs in biology, as well as political and social developments: the transmission of characters and their variations throughout generations needed a new theory, the embryological development of organisms had to be explained, the unrest and disastrous living conditions provoked by the industrial capitalism and the colonial project in the West called for a reaction from the elites. The trajectory of genetics is one of permanent co-production between the different ontologies and practices it is situated in. As a science, it draws its legitimacy from the stories it tells (about the world or about itself), the interests it serves and the existing power relations it is part of. Given this background, the present work tries to shed some light on several aspects of the history of genetics that may help clarify its role and impact on our societies. The set of ontological and material transformations it underpins is referred to as the Genetic Order, and this is explored particularly in the context of the irremediable past and present association of genetics with eugenics, the construction of key notions such as heritability and the dichotomy Nature/Nurture, the enormous influence of cybernetics over biology and genetics after the second world war and the alliance between biotechnologies, genetics and neoliberalism in more recent years. One key notion that wanders throughout this text is that of control, over bodies and life in general. This is illustrated by the recent explosion of the genomic prediction industry and its impact on contemporary subjectivities. In the end, it is a world of statistics, algorithms, predestination, risk management and control that the Genetic Order offers, echoing the hegemonic influence of the neoliberal cybernetic project where all that lives must be engineered, modelled, monitored, predictable and transparent.

SU(3) lattice gauge theory with a mixed fundamental and adjoint plaquette action: Lattice artefacts
Creators: name: Hasenbusch, M.
name: Necco, S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the four-dimensional SU(3) gauge model with a fundamental and an adjoint plaquette term in the action. We investigate whether corrections to scaling can be reduced by using a negative value of the adjoint coupling. To this end, we have studied the finite temperature phase transition, the static potential and the mass of the 0^{++} glueball. In order to compute these quantities we have implemented variance reduced estimators that have been proposed recently. Corrections to scaling are analysed in dimensionless combinations such as T_c/\sqrtσ and m_{0^{++}}/T_c. We find that indeed the lattice artefacts in e.g. m_{0^{++}}/T_c can be reduced considerably compared with the pure Wilson (fundamental) gauge action at the same lattice spacing.

description: Physics associated with the Higgs field potential is rich and interesting and deserves a concise summary for a broader audience to appreciate the beauty and the challenges of this subject. We discuss the role of the Higgs potential in particle physics, in particular in the spontaneous symmetry breaking and in the mass generation using an example of a simple reflection symmetry, then continue with the temperature and quantum corrections to the potential which lead us to the naturalness problem and the vacuum stability.

Subjects: Political Economy

description: The consumption of cultural and recreational activities is rising nationally, and there are opportunities for their supply in both rural and urban areas. In this brief paper I suggest five ways state legislators can help support rural communities’ efforts to develop local cultural and recreational opportunities: through environmental quality improvement and protection, through the development of supporting high quality infrastructure, through marketing and promotion, through training that helps rural residents develop the skills needed in recreational and cultural industries, and through help in the assessment of culture and recreation industry development opportunities.
Particle physics implications of the WMAP neutrino mass bound

description: The recently published cosmological bound on the absolute neutrino masses obtained from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data has important consequences for neutrino experiments and models. Taken at face value, the new bound excludes the determination of the absolute neutrino mass in the KATRIN experiment and disfavors a neutrino oscillation interpretation of the LSND experiment. Combined with the KamLAND and Super-K data, the WMAP bound defines an accessible range for the neutrinoless double beta decay amplitude. The bound also impacts the Z-burst annihilation mechanism for resonant generation of extreme-energy cosmic rays on the cosmic neutrino background in two ways: it constrains the local overdensity of neutrino dark matter which is not helpful, but it also limits the resonant energy to a favorable range. In R-parity violating SUSY models neutrino masses are generated by trilinear and bilinear lepton number violating couplings. The WMAP result improves the constraints on these couplings over their existing values by an order of magnitude.

description: The initial quantum state during inflation may evolve to a highly squeezed quantum state due to the amplification of the time-dependent parameter, $ω_{phys}(k/a)$, which may be the modified dispersion relation in trans-Planckian physics. This squeezed quantum state is a nonclassical state that has no counterpart in the classical theory. We have considered the nonclassical states such as squeezed, squeezed coherent, and squeezed thermal states, and calculated the power spectrum of the gravitational wave perturbation when the mode leaves the horizon.

description: Tourism promotion represents popular public policy because of its focus on image improvement. After all, what politician would criticize efforts to “boost” the perception of one’s own state and advertise the resources that draw attention, visitation, and positive notoriety? Indeed, promoting tourism is a political nobrainer. But, political convenience does not necessarily convey long-term societal improvement. Does it make good policy sense from the standpoint of rural development? Are increased levels of tourism in the best interest of communities affected by tourists? Are the jobs created by tourism the types of jobs needed by people in rural America? This paper argues that states should move away from traditional “boosterism” approaches that focus simply on stimulating tourism demand toward more integrative planning frameworks that focus on the real costs and benefits of tourism growth.

description: In this paper, we get the time evolution equations of the curvature and torsion of the evolving spacelike curves in the Minkowski space. Also, we give inextensible evolutions of timelike ruled surfaces that are produced by the timelike normal and spacelike binormal vector fields of spacelike curve and derive the necessary conditions for an inelastic surface evolution. Then, we compute the coefficients of the first and second fundamental forms, the Gauss and mean curvatures for timelike special ruled surfaces. As a result, we give applications of the evolution equations for the curvatures of the curve in terms of the velocities and get the exact solutions for these new equations.

Gaulettia

description: 2. Gaulettia clade
 This study strongly supports the close relationship between C. amaraliae, C. canomensis, C. elata and C. parillo, which belong to the Gaulettia clade. This result together with morphological features unique to this clade support recognition of a distinct genus. The other five species that have not been sequenced (C. cognata, C. canescens, C. foveolata, C. racemosa and C. steyermarkii) share several morphological characters that support placing them in this clade. Further analyses will be required to infer phylogenetic relationships within the genus by expanding the taxon sampling and sequencing additional and more polymorphic DNA regions.

Subjects: Community/Rural/Urban Development

description: The increasingly rapid changes in the world marketplace are having significant effects on all regional economies, creating both challenges and opportunities. The challenges for rural economies have been especially pronounced. Rural economies rely on low land and labor prices for their competitiveness, with commodity agriculture and manufacturing as their economic foundations. Globalization is introducing the possibility of much lower input costs for commodity production, leading to a steadily deteriorating competitive position for these traditional rural industries. Agriculture continues this transition after a particularly sharp series of contractions in the 1980’s; rural manufacturing plants are arguably going through their most difficult transition phase. Neither can be the easy, natural, longer-term economic foundation for the rural economy in the future.
