description: Mainstream institutions have only begun to address issues in Gender and Development since the 1970s, and it is time to evaluate how sustainable the progress in this field has been. In this essay, I briefly discuss three specific challenges facing gender advocates. First, I discuss the risks gender advocates take and the opportunities they miss when treating women as a homogenous group. Second, I evaluate the difficulty of balancing transformative policy and integrationist policy. The former seeks to change entire systems but risks being seen as too radical to be adopted by international influential institutions. The latter allows gender awareness to become adapted by these same institutions (i.e. gender mainstreaming) but risks not truly bringing the transformation needed. In the final part of my essay, I argue the importance of halting the “Sanctity of Culture,” a phrase coined by feminist economist, Naila Kabeer (1999). I further this analysis by looking at an Indian case in which an increased ratio of women is gaining education but see little increase in other factors of equality.

description: The convective dredge-up of carbon from the interiors of hydrogen-deficient white dwarfs has long been invoked to explain the presence of carbon absorption features in the spectra of cool DQ stars ($T_{\rm eff} < 10{,}000\,{\rm K}$). It has been hypothesized that this transport process is not limited to DQ white dwarfs and also operates, albeit less efficiently, in non-DQ hydrogen-deficient white dwarfs within the same temperature range. This non-DQ population is predominantly composed of DC white dwarfs, which exhibit featureless optical spectra. However, no direct observational evidence of ubiquitous carbon pollution in DC stars has thus far been uncovered. In this Letter, we analyze data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) to reveal the photometric signature of ultraviolet carbon lines in most DC white dwarfs in the $8500\,{\rm K} \leq T_{\rm eff} \leq 10{,}500\,{\rm K}$ temperature range. Our results show that the vast majority of hydrogen-deficient white dwarfs experience carbon dredge-up at some point in their evolution.

description: The existence of giant planets on wide orbits ($\stackrel{>}{_\sim}100$AU) challenge planet formation theories; the core accretion scenario has difficulty in forming them, whereas the disc instability model forms an overabundance of them that is not seen observations. We perform $N$-body simulations investigating the effect of close stellar encounters ($\leq 1200$AU) on systems hosting wide-orbit giant planets and the extent at which such interactions may disrupt the initial wide-orbit planet population. We find that the effect of an interaction on the orbit of a planet is stronger for high-mass, low-velocity perturbers, as expected. We find that due to just a single encounter there is a $\sim 17%$ chance that the wide-orbit giant planet is liberated in the field, a $\sim 10$% chance it is scattered significantly outwards, and a $\sim 6$% chance it is significantly scattered inwards. Moreover, there is a $\sim 21\%$ chance that its eccentricity is excited to e>0.1, making it more prone to disruption in subsequent encounters. The results strongly suggest that the effect of even a single stellar encounter is significant in disrupting the primordial wide-orbit giant planet population; in reality the effect will be even more prominent, as in a young star-forming region more such interactions are expected to occur. We conclude that the low occurrence rate of wide-orbit planets revealed by observational surveys does not exclude the possibility that such planetary systems are initially abundant, and therefore the disc-instability model may be a plausible scenario for their formation.

description: Sense of place is increasingly advocated to support the management of social-ecological systems. Given the concept’s complexity, we suggest that an indicator for sense of place is needed to facilitate its application in practical planning. We propose such an indicator called “meaningful places,” defined as geographic locations to which (i) immediately perceived as well as socially constructed meanings are ascribed and (ii) evaluative attachments are tied. We applied the indicator in two independent case studies, Lübeck and Lahn, both of which aimed to integrate sense of place in an actual planning process. The case studies differed in the spatial scale of the meaningful places, the indicator’s operationalization, and the specific assessment methods. In the Lübeck case, semi-structured interviews and a simple mapping method were used to analyze participants’ “home-regions.” The results revealed diverse but overlapping locations characterized as aesthetic, different from others, close to nature, and quiet (place meanings). In the Lahn case, a public participation GIS (public participation geographic information system [PPGIS]) survey was conducted and yielded insights into the spatial distribution of meaningful places. The results reflect a wide range of place meanings linked to, for example, activities, aesthetic qualities, or well-being. Furthermore, participants expressed different intensities of place attachments. Although the indicator is still in an exploratory stage, it allows for reflection on potential benefits for planning practitioners. The resulting data can be combined with spatial information usually used in planning processes, e.g., about the state of the underlying physical environment and/or foreseeable drivers of change. This offers new opportunities for managers regarding the determination of priorities to conserve meaningful places, the anticipation of conflicts, and the utilization of the communicative power of meaningful places. We argue that the benefits for planning justify a new direction of research devoted to the development and further advancement of the indicator. © 2022 by the author(s).

description: In this article, we pursue our investigation of the connections between the theory of computation and hydrodynamics. We prove the existence of stationary solutions of the Euler equations in Euclidean space, of Beltrami type, that can simulate a universal Turing machine. In particular, these solutions possess undecidable trajectories. Heretofore, the known Turing complete constructions of steady Euler flows in dimension 3 or higher were not associated to a prescribed metric. Our solutions do not have finite energy, and their construction makes crucial use of the non-compactness of $\mathbb R^3$, however they can be employed to show that an arbitrary tape-bounded Turing machine can be robustly simulated by a Beltrami flow on $\mathbb T^3$ (with the standard flat metric). This shows that there exist steady solutions to the Euler equations on the flat torus exhibiting dynamical phenomena of (robust) computational complexity as high as desired. We also quantify the energetic cost for a Beltrami field on $\mathbb T^3$ to simulate a tape-bounded Turing machine, thus providing additional support for the space-bounded Church-Turing thesis. Another implication of our construction is that a Gaussian random Beltrami field on Euclidean space exhibits arbitrarily high computational complexity with probability $1$. Finally, our proof also yields Turing complete flows and diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{S}^2$ with zero topological entropy, thus disclosing a certain degree of independence within different hierarchies of complexity.

description: We present the DARTH FADER algorithm, a new wavelet-based method for estimating redshifts of galaxy spectra in spectral surveys that is particularly adept in the very low SNR regime. We use a standard cross-correlation method to estimate the redshifts of galaxies, using a template set built using a PCA analysis on a set of simulated, noise-free spectra. Darth Fader employs wavelet filtering to both estimate the continuum & to extract prominent line features in each galaxy spectrum. A simple selection criterion based on the number of features present in the spectrum is then used to clean the catalogue: galaxies with fewer than six total features are removed as we are unlikely to obtain a reliable redshift estimate. Applying our wavelet-based cleaning algorithm to a simulated testing set, we successfully build a clean catalogue including extremely low signal-to-noise data (SNR=2.0), for which we are able to obtain a 5.1% catastrophic failure rate in the redshift estimates (compared with 34.5% prior to cleaning). We also show that for a catalogue with uniformly mixed SNRs between 1.0 & 20.0, with realistic pixel-dependent noise, it is possible to obtain redshifts with a catastrophic failure rate of 3.3% after cleaning (as compared to 22.7% before cleaning). Whilst we do not test this algorithm exhaustively on real data, we present a proof of concept of the applicability of this method to real data, showing that the wavelet filtering techniques perform well when applied to some typical spectra from the SDSS archive. The Darth Fader algorithm provides a robust method for extracting spectral features from very noisy spectra. The resulting clean catalogue gives an extremely low rate of catastrophic failures, even when the spectra have a very low SNR. For very large sky surveys, this technique may offer a significant boost in the number of faint galaxies with accurately determined redshifts.

Composition and bioaccessibility of traditional medicines from China, Ghana and India

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Traditional Medicines (TM) refer to indigenous medicines that are available in a range of cultures. From ancient times, humans developed TM for health care prior to the development of western medicine. TM remains popular today in both developing and developed countries, due to their availability without doctor’s prescription, and moderate expense. TM can contain essential or non-essential elements. Essential elements are needed for human health, however these elements can be toxic if present in the body in high doses. In contrast, non-essential elements are not needed by the body and can be toxic at smaller concentrations. Consumption of TM with elevated trace element concentrations can affect consumers, sometimes causing death. This study reviewed the prevalence of TM use, and cases of poisoning by metals or metalloids following TM consumption, and forms of TM contamination and adulteration. Concentrations of essential and non-essential elements in Ayurvedic Medicines (AM) from India, and traditional medicines from Ghana (GTM) and China (CTM) are reported, and potential risks to the health of consumers are evaluated. Of 101 samples analysed, mean concentrations of Cu in AM, GTM and CTM were 4 mg/kg-45 mg/kg. Elemental concentrations in selected AM, GTM and CTM were compared with maximum allowable concentrations to establish whether their concentrations were within allowable health limits ie. limits that is not detrimental to the health of the exposed population. The regulatory limits of USEPA (mg/kg) for essential elements are V=0.007, Cr=0.003, Mn=0.14, Cu=0.04, Fe=0.07, Ni=0.02, Zn=0.3 and non-essential elements As=0.005, Ba=0.2. Investigation of dominant inorganic minerals in the TM, in conjunction with simulated gastrointestinal tract bioaccessibility studies, allow prediction of potential threats that oral consumption of these TM can pose to consumers. Minerals identified include hematite, cassiterite and whewellite. Bioaccessibility in gastric phase was generally higher than intestinal phase. For instance, As was 80% in the gastric phase and 44% in the intestinal phase. The research revealed potential risks associated with TM consumption. There is the need for national regulatory institutions to strengthen quality control and enforcement on TM in order to demonstrate their integrity and ensure consumer protection of these medicines wherever they are consumed.

description: The longstanding search for the cosmological model that best describes the Universe has been made more intriguing since the recent discovery of the Hubble constant, $H_{0}$, tension observed between the value of $H_{0}$ from the Cosmic Microwave Background and from type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). Hence, the commonly trusted flat $Λ$CDM model is under investigation. In this scenario, cosmography is a very powerful technique to investigate the evolution of the Universe without any cosmological assumption, thus revealing tensions between observational data and predictions from cosmological models in a completely model-independent way. We here employ a robust cosmographic technique based on an orthogonal logarithmic polynomial expansion of the luminosity distance to fit quasars (QSOs) alone and QSOs combined with Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), SNe Ia, and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations. To apply QSOs and GRBs as probes we use, respectively, the Risaliti-Lusso relation between ultraviolet and X-ray luminosities and the ``Dainotti GRB 3D relation" among the rest-frame end time of the X-ray plateau emission, its corresponding luminosity, and the peak prompt luminosity. We also correct QSOs and GRBs for selection biases and redshift evolution and we employ both the traditional Gaussian likelihood and the newly discovered best-fit likelihoods for each probe investigated. This comprehensive analysis reveals a strong tension ($> 4 \, σ$) between our data sets and the flat $Λ$CDM model proving the power of both the cosmographic approach and high-redshift sources, such as QSOs and GRBs, which can probe the Universe at early epochs.

description: A geometry-independent effective model for the contact self-energies is proposed to calculate the quantum conductance of patterned graphene devices using Green's functions. A Corbino disk, being the simplest device where the contacts can not be modeled as semi-infinite ribbons, is chosen to illustrate this approach. This system's symmetry allows an analytical solution against which numerical calculations on the lattice can be benchmarked. The effective model perfectly describes the conductance of Corbino disks at low-to-moderate energies, and is robust against the size of the annular device region, the number of atoms on the edge, external magnetic fields, or electronic disorder. The contact model considered here affords an expedite, flexible, and geometry-agnostic approach easily allows the consideration of device dimensions encompassing several million atoms, and realistic radial dimensions of a few hundreds of nanometers.

description: In federated learning, each participant trains its local model with its own data and a global model is formed at a trusted server by aggregating model updates coming from these participants. Since the server has no effect and visibility on the training procedure of the participants to ensure privacy, the global model becomes vulnerable to attacks such as data poisoning and model poisoning. Although many defense algorithms have recently been proposed to address these attacks, they often make strong assumptions that do not agree with the nature of federated learning, such as assuming Non-IID datasets. Moreover, they mostly lack comprehensive experimental analyses. In this work, we propose a defense algorithm called ARFED that does not make any assumptions about data distribution, update similarity of participants, or the ratio of the malicious participants. ARFED mainly considers the outlier status of participant updates for each layer of the model architecture based on the distance to the global model. Hence, the participants that do not have any outlier layer are involved in model aggregation. We have performed extensive experiments on diverse scenarios and shown that the proposed approach provides a robust defense against different attacks. To test the defense capability of the ARFED in different conditions, we considered label flipping, Byzantine, and partial knowledge attacks for both IID and Non-IID settings in our experimental evaluations. Moreover, we proposed a new attack, called organized partial knowledge attack, where malicious participants use their training statistics collaboratively to define a common poisoned model. We have shown that organized partial knowledge attacks are more effective than independent attacks.

description: The statistics of velocity fluctuations of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow are examined. The rotation rate of the inner and outer cylinder are varied while keeping the Taylor number fixed to $1.49 \times 10^{12}$ ($\mathcal{O}(\text{Re})=10^6$). The azimuthal velocity component of the flow is measured using laser Doppler anemometry (LDA). For each experiment $5\times10^6$ datapoints are acquired and carefully analysed. Using extended self-similarity (ESS) \cite{ben93b} the longitudinal structure function exponents are extracted, and are found to weakly depend on the ratio of the rotation rates. For the case where only the inner cylinder rotates the results are in good agreement with results measured by Lewis and Swinney \cite{lew99} using hot-film anemometry. The power spectra shows clear -5/3 scaling for the intermediate angular velocity ratios $-ω_o/ω_i \in \{0.6, 0.8, 1.0\}$, roughly -5/3 scaling for $-ω_o/ω_i \in \{0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 2.0\}$, and no clear scaling law can be found for $-ω_0/ω_i = 0$ (inner cylinder rotation only); the local scaling exponent of the spectra has a strong frequency dependence. We relate these observations to the shape of the probability density function of the azimuthal velocity and the presence of a neutral line.

description: This paper explores social perception towards energy consumption on Macdonald campus, as seen by different subsections of the Macdonald community: undergraduate, graduate, faculty and staff. A total of 118 community members were randomly surveyed via a semi-structured questionnaire. Main findings of our research suggested that, as a whole, community members believe Macdonald Campus to be a relatively energy-efficient place. However, results indicated a discrepancy between students and faculty/staff in terms of their perception of energy efficiency on campus. Furthermore, there was broad agreement regarding the inaccessibility of information on energy use on campus, suggesting that this was a primary leverage point to enact social change. Various initiatives are presented, aimed towards increasing information accessibility. With a planned implementation date of Fall 2012, these initiatives are expected to have a significant impact on environmental awareness, ultimately decreasing energy use on campus and reducing its’ environmental impact.

description: Many relaxed cool-core clusters host diffuse radio emission on scales of hundreds of kiloparsecs: mini-haloes. However, the mechanism responsible for generating them, as well as their connection with central active galactic nuclei, is elusive and many questions related to their physical properties and origins remain unanswered. This paper presents new radio observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 1413 performed with MeerKAT (L-band; 872 to 1712 MHz) and LOFAR HBA (120 to 168 MHz) as part of a statistical and homogeneous census of mini-haloes. Abell 1413 is unique among mini-halo clusters as it is a moderately-disturbed non-cool-core cluster. Our study reveals an asymmetric mini-halo up to 584 kpc in size at 1283 MHz, twice as large as first reported at similar frequencies. The spectral index is flatter than previously reported, with an integrated value of $α= -1.01 \pm 0.06$, shows significant spatial variation, and a tentative radial steepening. We studied the point-to-point X-ray/radio surface brightness correlation to investigate the thermal/non-thermal connection: our results show a strong connection between these components, with a super-linear slope of $b = 1.63 \pm 0.10$ at 1283 MHz and $b = 1.20 \pm 0.12$ at 145 MHz. We also explore the X-ray surface brightness/radio spectral index correlation, finding a slope of $b = 0.59 \pm 0.11$. Both investigations support the evidence of spectral steepening. Finally, in the context of understanding the particle acceleration mechanism, we present a simple theoretical model which demonstrates that hybrid scenarios - secondary electrons (re-)accelerated by turbulence - reproduce a super-linear correlation slope.

In this paper, we report the single crystal growth, crystallographic parameters, resistivity, heat capacity, and band structure results of YCoGa5. YCoGa5 accommodates the HoCoGa5 type structure (space group P4/mmm (No. 123), Z = 1, a = 4.2131(6) A, c = 6.7929(13) A, which is isostructural to the extensively studied heavy fermion superconductor system CeMIn5 (M = Co, Rh, Ir) and the unconventional superconductor PuCoGa5 with Tc = 18.5 K. No superconductivity is observed down to 1.75 K. Band structure calculation results show that its band at the Fermi level is mainly composed of Co-3d and Ga-4p electrons states, which explains its similarity of physical properties to YbCoGa5 and LuCoGa5.

description: The accumulation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in plants is considered one of the most serious threats faced by mankind because of their persistence in the environment and their carcinogenic and teratogenic effect on human health. The concentrations of sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (16 PAHs) were determined in four types of edible vegetables (tomatoes, zucchini, eggplants, and cucumbers), irrigation water, and agriculture soil, where samples were collected from the Jordan Valley, Jordan. The mean total concentration of 16 PAHs (∑16PAHs) ranged from 10.649 to 21.774 µg kg−1 in vegetables, 28.72 µg kg−1 in soil, and 0.218 µg L−1 in the water samples. The tomato samples posed the highest ∑16PAH concentration level in the vegetables, whereas the zucchini samples had the lowest. Generally, the PAHs with a high molecular weight and four or more benzene rings prevailed among the studied samples. The diagnostic ratios and the principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the PAH contamination sources in soil and vegetables mainly originated from a pyrogenic origin, traffic emission sources, and biomass combustion. The bioconcentration factors (BCF) for ∑16PAHs have been observed in the order of tomatoes > cucumbers and eggplants > zucchini. A potential cancer risk related to lifetime consumption was revealed based on calculating the incremental lifetime cancer risk of PAHs (ILCR). Therefore, sustainable agricultural practices and avoiding biomass combusting would greatly help in minimizing the potential health risk from dietary exposure to PAHs.

description: An analysis of instability dynamics in a stochastic magnetic field is presented for the tractable case of the resistive interchange. Externally prescribed static magnetic perturbations convert the eigenmode problem to a stochastic differential equation, which is solved by the method of averaging. The dynamics are rendered multi-scale, due to the size disparity between the test mode and magnetic perturbations. Maintaining quasi-neutrality at all orders requires that small-scale convective cell turbulence be driven by disparate scale interaction. The cells in turn produce turbulent mixing of vorticity and pressure, which is calculated by fluctuation-dissipation type analyses, and are relevant to pump-out phenomena. The development of correlation between the ambient magnetic perturbations and the cells is demonstrated, showing that turbulence will `lock on' to ambient stochasticity. Magnetic perturbations are shown to produce a magnetic braking effect on vorticity generation at large scale. Detailed testable predictions are presented. The relations of these findings to the results of available simulations and recent experiments are discussed.

Some features accommodated by the new analysis are shadowing, exclusion and guard zones, and distance-dependent fading. Three routing protocols are examined: least-delay, nearest-neighbor, and maximum-progress routing. The tradeoffs among the path reliabilities, average conditional delays, average conditional number of hops, and area spectral efficiencies are examined.

description: This essay uses established United Nations treaties and agreements on human “development” and progress, that were part of the post World War II consensus, as a basis for rediscovering and reaffirming those “universal development goals” that were intended to be the measure of “development” success within all of the world’s countries and that can be recognized again as the U.N. sets its agenda and measures for post-2015 “development goals”. The author notes how the U.N.’s “Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)” established for 2001 to 2015, abandoned the earlier global consensus to substitute a narrower vision duplicating the “civilizing mission” of European colonialism. This approach undermined global aspirations and substituted a vision of homogeneity and basic needs with no possibility for progress. Current attempts to “fix” the failures of the MDGs with “Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” continue to subvert the earlier agreements. The 13 principles for development that the international community outlined as the basis of humanity’s development vision after World War II can serve as the basis for contemporary “Universal Development Goals.”

description: The ALICE experiment features multiple particle identification systems. The measurement of the identified charged hadron $p_{t}$ spectra in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=900$ GeV will be discussed. In the central rapidity region ($|η|<0.9$) particle identification and tracking are performed using the Inner Tracking System (ITS), which is the closest detector to the beam axis, the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) and a dedicated time-of-flight system (TOF). Particles are mainly identified using the energy loss signal in the ITS and TPC. In addition, the information from TOF is used to identify hadrons at higher momenta. Finally, the kink topology of the weak decay of charged kaons provides an alternative method to extract the transverse momentum spectra of charged kaons. This combination allows to track and identify charged hadrons in the transverse momentum ($p_{t}$) range from 100 MeV/c up to 2.5 GeV/$c$. Mesons containing strange quarks (\kos, $ϕ$) and both singly and doubly strange baryons (\lam, \lambar, and \xip + \xim) are identified by their decay topology inside the TPC detector. Results obtained with the various identification tools above described and a comparison with theoretical models and previously published data will be presented.

description: This paper seeks to address the ongoing issue of weak and strong sustainability, searching for a middle ground. It discusses the differences between weak and strong sustainability arguing for equality and equity between nature and humankind though movement towards an eco-socio-feminist perspective as an idealist point of view. Through this, full equality and balance may be attained.

description: The phosphor nanoparticles made of doped semiconductors, pre-excited by well-collimated X-ray radiation, were recently reported for their light emission upon NIR light stimulation. The characteristics of X-ray energy storage and NIR stimulated emission is highly desirable to design targeting probes and improve molecular and cellular imaging. Here we propose stored luminescence computed tomography (SLCT), perform realistic numerical simulation, and demonstrate a much-improved spatial resolution in a preclinical research context. The future opportunities are also discussed along this direction.

The Antiparticles of Neutral Bosons

description: With the advent of the ability to create and study antihydrogen, we think it is appropriate to consider the possibility that antiphotons might not be identical to photons. First of all, we will look at the experimental evidence concerning multiple neutral pions and multiple photons. Because of its internal structure, the neutral kaon is not identical to its antiparticle. We will consider internal structures for the neutral pion and photon for which the antiparticle differs from the particle. Interestingly, the antiphoton thus created from neutrinos does not interact with electrons because its neutrinos have the wrong helicity.

description: UNEP’s proposal of the green economy advocates the pricing of ecosystem services in the hope of providing greater environmental protection. There are five aspects which could undermine its practical implementation as well as its social legitimacy; i) ecosystem services are inherently difficult to price, ii) the consideration of the rebound effect is insufficient, iii) primacy of economics over the environment is ensured, iv) markets offer little protection for the poorest people, and v) existing market mechanisms aimed at safeguarding the environment have not succeeded. The green economy relies upon the discursive power of ecological modernisation and our faith in progress to uphold a failing strategy of unfettered economic growth. This discourse limits our capacity to conceive solutions outside the economic sphere. Achieving sustainable development will require a process of social change tha could be facilitated by the acceptance that nature is more than just a form of capital.
Introduction to Quantum Error Correction and Fault Tolerance

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: These lecture notes from the 2019 Les Houches Summer School on 'Quantum Information Machines' are intended to provide an introduction to classical and quantum error correction with bits and qubits, and with continuous variable systems (harmonic oscillators). The focus on the latter will be on practical examples that can be realized today or in the near future with a modular architecture based on superconducting electrical circuits and microwave photons. The goal and vision is 'hardware-efficient' quantum error correction that does not require exponentially large hardware overhead in order to achieve practical and useful levels of fault tolerance and circuit depth.
