description: We prove the analogue of the classical Burkholder-Gundy inequalites for non-commutative martingales. As applications we give a characterization for an Ito-Clifford integral to be an $L^p$-martingale via its integrand, and then extend the Ito-Clifford integral theory in $L^2$, developed by Barnett, Streater and Wilde, to $L^p$ for all $1

description: A long standing problem in the study of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) is that the observed VLBI core is in fact a blending of the actual AGN core (classically defined by the $τ=1$ surface) and the upstream regions of the jet or optically thin emitting region flows. This blending may cause some biases towards the observables of the core, such as its flux density, size or brightness temperature, which may lead to misleading interpretation of the derived quantities and physics. We study the effects of such blending under the view of the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) for a sample of AGNs at 43 GHz by comparing their observed properties with observations with the Very Large Baseline Array (VLBA). Our results suggest that the observed core sizes are a factor $\sim11$ larger than these of VLBA, which is similar to the factor expected by considering the different resolutions of the two facilities. We suggest the use of this factor to consider blending effects in KVN measurements. Other parameters, such as flux density or brightness temperature, seem to possess a more complicated dependence.

 Description: Non-brooding zooids of this uniserial species have 24–25 mural spine bases, compared with 20– 21 in ovicellate zooids. Distal spine bases, particularly the four ‘oral’ spine bases, are slightly larger than the others.
Ovicell roofs were constructed of 18–19 spines whose bases are arranged atop a low semicircular ridge and raised above the concave ovicell floor formed by the proximal gymnocyst of the distal brooding zooid (Figs 5A, B, 21D, 24P). The diameter of ovicell spine bases is markedly smaller than that of mural spine bases, especially the nearby oral spine bases of the maternal zooid. In all cases observed, the distal, median ovicell spine bases are located on the mural rim of the distal zooid where mural spines were absent. The two most proximal spine bases are placed very close to the distal edge of the maternal zooid. Ovicell spine bases are closely spaced, with the distance between adjacent bases usually less than spine base diameter, except in the distal part of the ovicell where the spine bases are sparser and spaced further apart.
 Remarks: All spines in the species of Distelopora and Unidistelopora described above were basally articulated, as indicated by the double ring structure seen in some of the spine bases (Figs 4C, 5B; Ostrovsky & Taylor, 2004). This is also supported by the fact that no spines are preserved in situ. In the majority of the ovicellate zooids of Distelopora spp. and Unidistelopora krauseae, the proximal part of the mural rim of the distal zooid lacks mural spines in the zone where ovicell spine bases adjoin it. Thus, the mural spine bases and distalmost, median ovicell spine bases often (always in the case of U. krauseae) form a continuous line, and the distalmost ovicell spine bases are positioned where the most proximal mural spine bases are normally located in the nonbrooding zooids (Figs 4A, C, 5A, B, 24P). However, the ‘missing’ proximal mural spines do develop when the ovicell spine bases are separated from the mural rim, and also in intramural reparative buds formed within the distal zooid.

description: We study 3D pure Einstein quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant, in the regime where the AdS radius $l$ is of the order of the Planck scale. Specifically, when the Brown-Henneaux central charge $c=3l/2G_N$ ($G_N$ is the 3D Newton constant) equals $c=1/2$, we establish duality between 3D gravity and 2D Ising conformal field theory by matching gravity and conformal field theory partition functions for AdS spacetimes with general asymptotic boundaries. This duality was suggested by a genus-one calculation of Castro et al. [Phys. Rev. D {\bf 85}, 024032 (2012)]. Extension beyond genus-one requires new mathematical results based on 3D Topological Quantum Field Theory; these turn out to uniquely select the $c=1/2$ theory among all those with $c<1$, extending the previous results of Castro et al.. Previous work suggests the reduction of the calculation of the gravity partition function to a problem of summation over the orbits of the mapping class group action on a "vacuum seed". But whether or not the summation is well-defined for the general case was unknown before this work. Amongst all theories with Brown-Henneaux central charge $c<1$, the sum is finite and unique {\it only} when $c=1/2$, corresponding to a dual Ising conformal field theory on the asymptotic boundary.

description: Knowing the genes involved in quantitative traits provides a critical entry point to understanding the biological bases of behavior, but there are very few examples where the pathway from genetic locus to behavioral change is known. Here we address a key step towards that goal by deploying a test that directly queries whether a gene mediates the effect of a quantitative trait locus (QTL). To explore the role of specific genes in fear behavior, we mapped three fear-related traits, tested fourteen genes at six QTLs, and identified six genes. Four genes, Lsamp, Ptprd, Nptx2 and Sh3gl, have known roles in synapse function; the fifth gene, Psip1, is a transcriptional co-activator not previously implicated in behavior; the sixth is a long non-coding RNA 4933413L06Rik with no known function. Single nucleus transcriptomic and epigenetic analyses implicated excitatory neurons as likely mediating the genetic effects. Surprisingly, variation in transcriptome and epigenetic modalities between inbred strains occurred preferentially in excitatory neurons, suggesting that genetic variation is more permissible in excitatory than inhibitory neuronal circuits. Our results open a bottleneck in using genetic mapping of QTLs to find novel biology underlying behavior and prompt a reconsideration of expected relationships between genetic and functional variation.

description: Early mobility (EM) is vital for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), as prolonged bed rest can create further complications. Evidence suggests performing EM in the ICU benefits critically ill patients by reducing the incidence of ICU-Acquired Weakness (ICU-AW), decreasing the number of ventilator days, and decreasing the length of stay. Literature shows several barriers to mobility, including lack of standardized protocols, safety concerns, and lack of resources. Research shows that implementing an EM protocol provides positive benefits for ICU patients and has been adopted as part of a patient’s care plan in hospitals and outside the United States. This quality improvement project aimed to modify an existing EM protocol using evidencebased practices and implementing the modified EM protocol in a medical ICU. Early mobility education was performed for one week. There was a 50% compliance rate of assessing patient’s mobility that the MICU nurses performed. Using the PDSA cycle as a guide in accomplishing the project’s purpose helped to identify barriers to performing EM in the MICU. Due to the high acuity of the ICU patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, this project’s full implementation had some limitations. The recommendation for the future is to perform another PDSA cycle to address the barriers in performing EM. Developing a multidisciplinary early mobility team also influences EM implementation success.

description: Rock-paper-scissors games metaphorically model cyclic dominance in ecology and microbiology. In a static environment, these models are characterized by fixation probabilities obeying two different "laws" in large and small well-mixed populations. Here, we investigate the evolution of these three-species models subject to a randomly switching carrying capacity modeling the endless change between states of resources scarcity and abundance. Focusing mainly on the zero-sum rock-paper-scissors game, equivalent to the cyclic Lotka-Volterra model, we study how the ${\it coupling}$ of demographic and environmental noise influences the fixation properties. More specifically, we investigate which species is the most likely to prevail in a population of fluctuating size and how the outcome depends on the environmental variability. We show that demographic noise coupled with environmental randomness "levels the field" of cyclic competition by balancing the effect of selection. In particular, we show that fast switching effectively reduces the selection intensity proportionally to the variance of the carrying capacity. We determine the conditions under which new fixation scenarios arise, where the most likely species to prevail changes with the rate of switching and the variance of the carrying capacity. Random switching has a limited effect on the mean fixation time that scales linearly with the average population size. Hence, environmental randomness makes the cyclic competition more egalitarian, but does not prolong the species coexistence. We also show how the fixation probabilities of close-to-zero-sum rock-paper-scissors games can be obtained from those of the zero-sum model by rescaling the selection intensity.

Could an X-ray Flare after GRB 170817A Originate from a Post-merger Slim Accretion Disc?

description: GRB 170817A, detected by Fermi-GBM 1.7\,s after the merger of a neutron star (NS) binary, provides the first direct evidence for a link between such a merger and a short-duration gamma-ray burst. The X-ray observations after GRB 170817A indicate a possible X-ray flare with a peak luminosity $L_{\rm peak} \sim 2\times 10^{39}\,{\rm erg\,s}^{-1}$ near day 156. Here we show that this X-ray flare may be understood based on a slim disc around a compact object. On the one hand, there exists the maximal accretion rate $\dot M_{\rm max}$ for the slim disc, above which an optically thick outflow is significant and radiation from the disc is obscured. Based on the energy balance analysis, we find that $\dot M_{\rm max}$ is in the range of $\sim 4\dot M_{\rm Edd}$ and $\sim 21\dot M_{\rm Edd}$ when the angular velocity of the slim disc is between $\rm (1/5)^{1/2}Ω_K$ and $\rm Ω_K$ (where $\dot M_{\rm Edd}$ is the Eddington accretion rate and $Ω_K$ is the Keplerian angular velocity). With $\dot M_{\rm max}$, the slim disc can provide a luminosity $\sim L_{\rm peak}$ for a compact object of $2.5 M_{\sun}$. On the other hand, if the merger of two NSs forms a typical neutrino-dominated accretion disc whose accretion rate $\dot M$ follows a power-law decline with an index $-1.8$ , then the system must pass through the outflow regime and enter the slim disc in $\sim 11-355$ days. These results imply that a post-merger slim accretion disc could account for the observed late-time $L_{\rm peak}$.

description: We investigate the interaction of strongly correlated electrons with phonons in the frame of the Hubbard-Holstein model. The electron-phonon interaction is considered to be strong and is an important parameter of the model besides the Coulomb repulsion of electrons and band filling. This interaction with the nondispersive optical phonons has been transformed to the problem of mobile polarons by using the canonical transformation of Lang and Firsov. We discuss in particular the case for which the on-site Coulomb repulsion is exactly cancelled by the phonon-mediated attractive interaction and suggest that polarons exchanging phonon clouds can lead to polaron pairing and superconductivity. It is then the frequency of the collective mode of phonon clouds being larger than the bare frequency, which determines the superconducting transition temperature.

description: The World Health Organization has identified major depressive disorder as the leading form of mental health disability worldwide (Oldham & Ciraulo, 2014). Community-dwelling older adults (OA) have a range of 8% to 16% who report depressive symptoms (Blazer, 2003). Within nursing homes, the prevalence of symptoms of depression ranges anywhere from 35% to 48.7% (Blaze, 2003; Santiago & Mattos, 2014). OAs diagnosed with depression are more susceptible to poor health outcomes such as diabetes, congestive heart failure, failure to thrive, vitamin D deficiency, arthritis, kidney disease, ulcers, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke (Baggerly et al. 2015; Blazer, 2003; Gonul & Durmanz, 2017; Oldham & Ciraulo, 2014; Sumaya et al., 2001). To address this issue, the researcher is proposing the use of sunlight therapy as an intervention. The purpose of this DNP Project was to develop, implement, and evaluate a sunlight intervention for OAs suffering from depression who reside in a nursing facility. Although, due to COVID-19 this project is on hold. This programmatic evaluation and review of literature shows a significant opportunity to improve depressive symptoms of OAs residing in skilled nursing homes during and after this current crisis.

description: This paper identifies a condition for which the existence of an isomorphic subgraph can be decided in linear time. The condition is evaluated in two steps. First the host graph is analysed to determine its strong V-structures. Then the guest graph must be appropriately represented. If this representation exists, the given algorithm constructively decides the subgraph isomorphism problem for the guest and the host graph in linear time. The results applies especially to the implementation of graph rewriting systems. An isomorphic subgraph must be determined automatically in each rewriting step. Thus the efficient solution presented in this paper is an important progress for any implementation project.

description: Chlorophenols in urban high organic wastewater increases, which plays an inhibitory role in the process of anaerobic fermentation and methanogenesis. The release rules of extracellular polymers (EPS) and soluble microbial products (SMP) and the production of methane from anaerobic granular sludge were evaluated by spectroscopic analysis. The methane production was reduced by 21.6%, 41.4% and 50.5% respectively by adding 2,4-DCP of different concentrations (25, 50 and 100 mg/L). Activity tests of methanogenic functional enzymes indicated that F420 was more susceptible to the toxic of 2, 4-DCP than Acetyl-CoA and NADH. The decrease in methane production was due to the reduction in the activity of conversion enzymes rather than the loss of crucial precursors for methanogenesis. 2,4-DCP disintegrated the protein ‘shell’ of anaerobic granular sludge by destroying α-helix and β-sheet structures. After the protein ‘shell’ in EPS was destroyed, 2, 4-DCP entered the interior of granular, which inhibited the activity of functional enzymes and affected the process of acidogenesis and methanogenesis. At the same time, due to the partial rupture of the cells after being affected by the toxicity of 2,4-DCP, the protein material could be dissolved into the aqueous phase and complexed with 2,4-DCP to reduce the toxic effect of 2,4-DCP.
The generalized spin-orbit interaction: a microscopic origin of the Ørsted magnetic field

description: This work introduces a generalization of the form of the spin-orbit interaction, the generalized spin-orbit interaction (GSOI). It expresses the magnetic field induced by two charged particles moving with a non-zero relative velocity as a field defined at all points in space, and exists in the reference frames of both particles. This is in contrast to spin-orbit interaction theory, in which the generated magnetic field is defined at only one point in space, and exists in the reference frame of one of the two particles. At the macroscopic scale, it is shown that the GSOI theory implies the same form of the Ørsted magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire. However, the theory is incompatible with the microscopic form of the Biot-Savart equation that implies that a charged particle induces a magnetic field by having a non-zero velocity. The implications of the GSOI theory on properties of the Ørsted magnetic field in current-carrying atomically thin two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, are discussed. The framework established in this paper aims at re-imagining classical physical concepts in light of an advanced microscopic understanding.

description: Australia has unveiled a comprehensive, technology-driven plan to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Office buildings are responsible for more than one quarter of total energy consumption in non-residential buildings. Based on the projection of Commercial Building Baseline Study report, the energy use in this type of buildings will rise by 11.08% between 2020 and 2050. In pursuit of net-zero energy demand targets for Australia by 2050, the Australian government must therefore develop strategies to halt the accelerated development of office building energy demand. Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is a critical aspect of building design and operation that directly impacts the well-being, health, and productivity of its occupants. It encompasses a range of factors including indoor air quality (IAQ), thermal comfort, lighting, acoustics and so on. Properly managed IEQ ensures that the indoor environment is free from pollutants, has adequate ventilation, maintains comfortable temperature and humidity levels, and provides appropriate illumination for tasks that are to be carried out. The systems that regulate these factors, like HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) and lighting systems, are significant energy consumers. Optimising for a high-quality indoor environment often means adjusting these systems, which can lead to increased energy consumption. However, advancements in sustainable building design and technology are striving to achieve a balance, ensuring optimal IEQ without excessive energy use. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive examination of the IEQ field, concentrating on indexing and modelling methodologies, establish criteria for the development of quality IEQ models, evaluate the current policy of Australia concerning the indoor environment and energy consumption of commercial buildings, and collect perspectives from building experts and empirical data to gain a deeper understanding of the influence of IEQ on energy use and occupant satisfaction.

description: This paper focuses on the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (EMHRN) that tries to promote civil society co-operation and human rights within the Euro- Mediterranean Partnership (EMP). To this end, it explores the EMHRN’s ‘actorness’ and role in Euro-Mediterranean transnational relations in three respects: its linkage to the intergovernmental politics of the EMP, its participation in transnational civil society activities, and its part in the local human rights activism of its members. Methodologically, the empirical analysis relies primarily on document analysis and interviews and narrows its focus down to Morocco for the last aspect. The network’s identity and activities as an umbrella organisation for human rights are closely linked to the EMP. It pursues a mix of strategies, including the lobbying and consultancy, awareness-raising campaigns, service-provision to its members, and international networking in the context of Euro-Mediterranean relations. It assumes various functions vis-à-vis European institutions, national governments, its members, and other transnational actors, leaving its nature ambiguous and potentially compromising the effectiveness of its different strategies. Despite all these limitations, the EMHRN definitely contributes to ‘transnationalising’ Euro-Mediterranean (human rights) politics, bringing parts of civil society closer to the EMP – and vice versa.

description: Das Working Paper untersucht, wie sich transnationale Migrant_innen aus Indonesien ins Verhältnis zu dominanten Diskursen im Kontext indonesischer Arbeitsmigration setzen. Es analysiert drei biographisch-narrative Interviews mit indonesischen Migrantinnen nach ihrer Rückkehr nach Ostjava, Indonesien. Die untersuchten Subjektivierungsprozesse finden innerhalb des Kontexts der Kontrolle der Mobilität statt: Indonesien ist eines der wichtigsten Entsendeländer transnationaler Care-Arbeiter_innen weltweit. Das Besondere der (zirkulären) Migration indonesischer Care- Arbeiter_innen ist, dass sie mehrheitlich durch ein staatliches Entsendeprogramm organisiert wird, durch das Migrant_innen angeworben, in Trainingscamps vorbereitet, in Haushalte vermittelt werden und ihre Rückkehr organisiert wird. Die Migrant_innen werden während der Rekrutierungs-, Vermittlungs- und Rückkehrprozesse mobil gemacht, und gleichzeitig wird ihre Bewegungsfreiheit beschränkt und streng kontrolliert. Mobilisierung und Immobilisierung der Migrant_innen gehen dabei einher mit Diskursen zu bestimmten Migrantinnenfiguren, die sich in den Erzählungen der interviewten Migrant_innen widerspiegeln und zugleich brechen.

By using the Floquet-Keldysh Green functions, we show that each harmonic component consists of the coherent and the incoherent parts, which arise respectively from the coherent and the incoherent scatterings by the local ion potentials. As the disorder increases, the coherent part decreases, the incoherent one increases, and the total harmonic component of the current first decreases rapidly and then approaches a nonzero value. Our results highlight the importance of the periodicity of crystals, which builds up the Bloch states extending over the solid. This is markedly different from the traditional HHG in atomic gases, where the positions of individual atoms are irrelevant.

description: Carbon dots (CDs) have gained great attention as multifunctional materials because of their interesting properties and general applicability. Herein, new CDs were synthesised from a facile hydrothermal treatment of cysteine and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as both carbon and nitrogen source and cross-linking agent with high quantum yield (47.2%), respectively. The as prepared CDs were used to detect Fe3+ and ascorbic acid. The fluorescence intensity of CDs was selectivity quenched by Fe3+ in the range of 0.03–15.0 µM, with a detection limit of 10.2 nM. Meanwhile, ascorbic acid was found to reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+, thereby causing restoration of the fluorescence of CDs. The detection limit for ascorbic acid detection was estimated as 54.3 nM over a linear range from 0.1 to 25.0 µM. Furthermore, the designed sensing platform was successfully utilised to the detection of Fe3+ and ascorbic acid in water and fruits samples.

NTSV CS rate

description: Obstetric nursing practice includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological support of the laboring patient. One widely used non-pharmacological nursing intervention in labor is the placement of a peanut ball (PB) device. Although not well studied, PBs are associated with shorter labor and decreased risk of cesarean section (CS) in the users. However, there are variances in how often nurses use the PB. This quality improvement study sought to improve the utilization of the PB device by labor and delivery nurses though an educational course and poster display on the unit. The nulliparous, term, singleton, vertex (NTSV) CS rate at the project institution is currently above the national standards goal for the NTSV CS rate of 23.9% or less) set to improve patient quality of care. This CS benchmark rate is used as a standard for organizations to achieve due to the increased maternal morbidity, maternal mortality, and healthcare costs associated with CS births. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, this project was suspended and carried out by proxy. However, virtual methods of education were produced along with other supplemental materials. A pre-and post-project PB knowledge survey, peanut ball use, labor hours, and birth outcomes were analyzed with mock data. By using mock data, the author demonstrated how actual data would be analyzed using various statistical tests appropriate for the type of data collected and how best to illustrate data (e.g., the number of PBs placed) via a control chart. Lessons learned can be used to implement and evaluate the project methodology in the future. Keywords: peanut ball, nursing education, nursing interventions in labor, NTSV CS rate

description: The vortex patterns stabilized by the square array of artificial pinning sites with a tunable pinning strength are studied by using a phenomenological approach in the London limit. The transitions between pinned and deformed triangular lattices are analyzed as a function of the amplitude of the vortex-pinning site interaction and the characteristic length-scale of this interaction. The critical current and different phases of vortex lattice are studied in presence of external transport current.

description: Collective low-frequency molecular motions have large impact on chemical reactions and structural relaxation in liquids. So far, these modes have mostly been accessed indirectly by off-resonant optical pulses. Here, we provide evidence that intense terahertz (THz) pulses can resonantly excite reorientational-librational modes of aprotic and strongly polar liquids through coupling to the permanent molecular dipole moments. We observe a significantly enhanced response because the transient optical birefringence is up to an order of magnitude higher than obtained with optical excitation. Frequency-dependent measurements and a simple analytical model indicate that the enhancement arises from resonantly driven librations and their coupling to reorientational motion, assisted by the pump field and/or a cage translational mode. Our results open up the path to applications such as efficient molecular alignment, enhanced transient Kerr signals and systematic resonant nonlinear THz spectroscopy of the coupling between intermolecular modes in liquids.

description: It is shown that in a class of maximal globally hyperbolic spacetimes admitting two local Killing vectors, the past (defined with respect to an appropriate time orientation) of any compact constant mean curvature hypersurface can be covered by a foliation of compact constant mean curvature hypersurfaces. Moreover, the mean curvature of the leaves of this foliation takes on arbitrarily negative values and so the initial singularity in these spacetimes is a crushing singularity. The simplest examples occur when the spatial topology is that of a torus, with the standard global Killing vectors, but more exotic topologies are also covered. In the course of the proof it is shown that in this class of spacetimes a kind of positive mass theorem holds. The symmetry singles out a compact surface passing through any given point of spacetime and the Hawking mass of any such surface is non-negative. If the Hawking mass of any one of these surfaces is zero then the entire spacetime is flat.

 C o m m e n t s: Geostiba euboica is here recorded from Turkey for the first time. The previously known distribution of this widespread species comprised the southern Balkans, including various Greek islands. Since it was recently recorded also from Lesbos (ASSING 2005b), an occurrence in western Anatolia was likely. Apparently, its distribution does not overlap with that of the G. rhodiensis PACE, another widespread species of the subgenus Sipalotricha SCHEERPELTZ, which is common in southern Anatolia (Map 7).

Implications of the possible 21-cm line excess at cosmic dawn on dynamics of interacting dark energy

description: In this paper we study implications of the possible excess of 21-cm line global signal at the epoch of cosmic dawn on the evolutions of a class of dynamically interacting dark energy (IDE) models. We firstly summarize two dynamical mechanisms in which different background evolutions can exert considerable effects on the 21-cm line global signal. One is the decoupling time of Compton scattering heating, the other stems from the direct change of optical depth due to the different expansion rate of the Universe. After that, we investigate the IDE models to illustrate the tension between the results of Experiment to Detect the Global Epoch of reionization Signature (EDGES) and other experiments. To apply the analyses of these two mechanisms to IDE models, we find that only the optical depth can be significantly changed. Accordingly, in order to relieve the tension by including the effects of the decoupling time of Compton scattering heating, we deduce a possible evolution form for the Hubble parameter within IDE that begins at an early stage around $z\sim 100$ and then smoothly evolves to a value at $z\sim 17$ which is smaller than that obtained in the standard paradigm. Eventually, we fulfill this scenario by adding an early dark energy dominated stage to the cosmological paradigm described by IDE models, which can alleviate the tension between EDGES and other cosmological observations but cannot completely solve it.

Broad-scale variation in human genetic diversity levels is predicted by purifying selection on coding and non-coding elements

description: Genome-wide neutral diversity levels are shaped by both positive and purifying selection on linked sites. In humans like most species, the relative importance of these types of selection in shaping patterns of neutral diversity remains an open question. We can infer their relative contribution from observed patterns of neutral diversity by using information about recombination rates and targets of natural selection. To this end, I fit a joint model of the effects of positive selection (selective sweeps) and purifying selection (background selection) to genetic polymorphism data from the 1000 Genomes Project. I show that a model of the effects of background selection provides a good fit to patterns in diversity data and that incorporating the effects of selective sweeps does not improve the fit. Using my approach, the effects of background selection explain up to 60% of the variation in neutral diversity levels on the 1Mb scale and account for patterns in the data for which positive selection via selective sweeps had been invoked as explanations. I find that over 80% of the selected regions affecting neutral diversity levels are located outside of exons and that phylogenetic conservation is the best predictor of the source of selection in these regions. My results show that the genome-wide effects of background selection are pervasive, with measurable reductions in neutral diversity throughout almost the entirety of the autosomes. I provide maps of the effects of background selection and software for making similar inferences, which should provide important tools for future research that relies on interpreting patterns in neutral diversity levels.
