description: Objects that are small compared to their thermal photon wavelengths violate the assumptions underlying optical pyrometry and can show unusual coherence effects. To investigate this regime we measure the absolute light intensity from individual, incandescent multiwalled carbon nanotubes. The nanotube filaments' physical dimensions and composition are determined using transmission electron microscopy and their emissivities are calculated in terms of bulk conductivities. A single-color pyrometric analysis then returns a temperature value for each wavelength, polarization, and applied bias measured. Compared to the more common multiwavelength analysis, single-color pyrometry supports a more consistent and complete picture of the carbon nanotube lamps, one that describes their emissivity, optical conductivity, and thermal conductivity in the range 1600-2400 K.

description: Paddle Dolls have been interpreted variously as concubines for the dead, as children’s toys, or as figurines embodying the concept of fertility and rebirth. This article argues on the basis of eight lines of evidence that they were representations of specific living women, namely the Late Old Kingdom and Middle Kingdom khener-dancers of Hathor at Deir el-Bahari. Paddle dolls have been recovered from secure archaeological contexts at very few other sites and only in small numbers, but they are frequently found at Asasif. Their tattoos resemble those found on women buried in the precinct of the mortuary temple. Likewise, their bright, patterned outfits are strikingly similar to those of one particular Theben khener-troupe of Hathor depicted in the tomb of Kenamun (TT 93). The figurines were often interred in groups, and these groups could include a young girl figurine, just as khener-troupes often included girl trainees. The figurines are also found in statistically significant numbers with clappers, harps, and mirrors, all equipment typical of khener-women. The shape of the figurines, it is argued, consciously echoes that of a menat-counterpoise, the sacred fetish of Hathor, and it is suggested that the marked emphasis on the pubic triangle is due to the role of the khener-women in reinvigorating the dead king, which they undertook in the same manner as Hathor had revived her own father, the god-king Re, in the "Contendings of Horus and Seth." It is secondarily argued that virtually all of these lines of evidence also apply to the truncated female figurines typical of the Twelfth Dynasty.

description: The observable parameters of the electron indicate unambiguously that its gravitational background should be the Kerr-Newman solution without horizons. This background is not flat and has a non-trivial topology created by the Kerr singular ring. This ring was identified with a closed gravitational string. We discuss the relation of this string to the closed heterotic string of the low energy string theory and show that traveling waves along the KN string give rise to the Dirac theory of electron. Gravitational strings form a bridge between gravity and quantum theory, indicating a new way to consistent Quantum Gravity. We explain the pointlike experimental exhibition of the electron and argue that the predicted closed string may be observed by the novel experimental method of the "nonforward" Compton scattering.

Insularity and Island Identity in the Oases Bordering Egypt’s Great Sand Sea

description: So, if the oases of Egypt have been metaphorically viewed as desert islands, forming their own archipelago at the far eastern edge of the Great Sand Sea, to what extent should we take this analogy seriously—at least as a tool for thinking about recurrent themes and cultural patterns over the long durée? This essay is intended to serve as a meditation along the lines of the one Bernard Knapp offered in Rhodes. Here I’d like to consider the applicability of various cultural imaginings of "islandness" to Egypt’s oases—especially to Dakhleh and Kharga, the Oasis Magna as anciently envisioned. These oases, I will argue, were in many ways more typical of our island imaginary than many "real" islands, such as those located in the Northern Mediterranean and other heavily frequented regions. By employing the metaphor of "insularity" and by taking it seriously, it is possible to identify a number of geographic realities and consequent cultural undercurrents that recur throughout the great sweep of oasis history and unite cultures separated by millennia.

description: Masked hypertension (MHT), defined as nonelevated blood pressure (BP) in the clinic setting and elevated BP assessed by ambulatory monitoring, is associated with increased risk of target organ damage, cardiovascular disease, and mortality. Currently, no estimate of MHT prevalence exists for the general US population. After pooling data from the Masked Hypertension Study (n = 811), a cross-sectional clinical investigation of systematic differences between clinic BP and ambulatory BP (ABP) in a community sample of employed adults in the New York City metropolitan area (2005-2012), and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; 2005-2010; n = 9,316), an ongoing nationally representative US survey, we used multiple imputation to impute ABP-defined hypertension status for NHANES participants and estimate MHT prevalence among the 139 million US adults with nonelevated clinic BP, no history of overt cardiovascular disease, and no use of antihypertensive medication. The estimated US prevalence of MHT in 2005-2010 was 12.3% of the adult population (95% confidence interval: 10.0, 14.5)-approximately 17.1 million persons aged ≥21 years. Consistent with prior research, estimated MHT prevalence was higher among older persons, males, and those with prehypertension or diabetes. To our knowledge, this study provides the first estimate of US MHT prevalence-nearly 1 in 8 adults with nonelevated clinic BP-and suggests that millions of US adults may be misclassified as not having hypertension.

Robustness and stability of half-metallic ferromagnetism in alkaline-earth metal mononitrides against doping and deformation

description: We employ ab-initio electronic structure calculations and study the magnetic properties of CaN and SrN compounds crystallizing in the rocksalt structure. These alkaline-earth metal mononitrides are found to be half-metallic with a total spin magnetic moment per formula unit of 1.0 $μ_B$. The Curie temperature is estimated to be 480 K for CaN and 415 K for SrN well-above the room temperature. Upon small degrees of doping with holes or electrons, the rigid-band model suggests that the magnetic properties are little affected. Finally we studied for these alloys the effect of deformation taking into account tetragonalization keeping constant the unit cell volume which models the growth on various substrates. Even large degrees of deformation only marginally affect the electronic and magnetic properties of CaN and SrN in the rocksalt structure. Finally, we show that this stands also for the zincblende structure. Our results suggest that alkaline-earth metal mononitrides are promising materials for magnetoelectronic applications.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fisheries acoustic surveys often collect multifrequency data to help classify the species composition according to the echo sign. Because fish are usually the primary target species, relatively little effort is spent on confirming the identity of the other scatterers. However, methods to characterize the spatio-temporal patterns of these other scatterers based solely on acoustic data may provide important insights into understanding ecological relationships among these assemblages and those of the target species. Here, we conduct an analysis of multifrequency acoustic data collected in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) during the summers of 2004, 2006–2008 to describe the spatio-temporal characteristics of a persistent, near-surface acoustic backscattering layer that exists throughout most of the EBS during summer. Analysis methods include unsupervised clustering, which takes into account the spatial context of these data. Our approach initially focuses on the large-scale patterns in the frequency response, and then integrates small-scale patterns (i.e. echogram morphology) by using selected variogram-based textural indices. Categorical maps of each identified class of scatterers are produced and significant changes in their spatial patterns are tracked over time. Results will be used to optimize a field sampling plan to identify the species composition of this unique large-scale, near-surface feature as well as to identify important biophysical forcing mechanisms that influence its spatial distribution and abundance.

description: It has been known that the centralizer $Z_W(W_I)$ of a parabolic subgroup $W_I$ of a Coxeter group $W$ is a split extension of a naturally defined reflection subgroup by a subgroup defined by a 2-cell complex $\mathcal{Y}$. In this paper, we study the structure of $Z_W(W_I)$ further and show that, if $I$ has no irreducible components of type $A_n$ with $2 \leq n < \infty$, then every element of finite irreducible components of the inner factor is fixed by a natural action of the fundamental group of $\mathcal{Y}$. This property has an application to the isomorphism problem in Coxeter groups.

Mantle Dynamics in Super-Earths: Post-Perovskite Rheology and Self-Regulation of Viscosity

description: Simple scalings suggest that super-Earths are more likely than an equivalent Earth-sized planet to be undergoing plate tectonics. Generally, viscosity and thermal conductivity increase with pressure while thermal expansivity decreases, resulting in lower convective vigor in the deep mantle. According to conventional thinking, this might result in no convection in a super-Earth's deep mantle. Here we evaluate this. First, we here extend the density functional theory (DFT) calculations of post-perovskite activation enthalpy of to a pressure of 1 TPa. The activation volume for diffusion creep becomes very low at very high pressure, but nevertheless for the largest super-Earths the viscosity along an adiabat may approach 1030 Pa s in the deep mantle. Second, we use these calculated values in numerical simulations of mantle convection and lithosphere dynamics of planets with up to ten Earth masses. The models assume a compressible mantle including depth-dependence of material properties and plastic yielding induced plate tectonics. Results confirm the likelihood of plate tectonics and show a novel self-regulation of deep mantle temperature. The deep mantle is not adiabatic; instead internal heating raises the temperature until the viscosity is low enough to facilitate convective loss of the radiogenic heat, which results in a super-adiabatic temperature profile and a viscosity increase with depth of no more than ~3 orders of magnitude, regardless of the viscosity increase that is calculated for an adiabat. Convection in large super-Earths is characterised by large upwellings and small, time-dependent downwellings. If a super-Earth was extremely hot/molten after its formation, it is thus likely that even after billions of years its deep interior is still extremely hot and possibly substantially molten with a "super basal magma ocean" - a larger version of (Labrosse et al., 2007).

description: The early to mid-Eighteenth Dynasty can be considered a transformational moment in Egypt’s social history. The first true northern empire was forged gradually over the course of a century — first through the vengeful conquests of Ahmose, then through the ambitious and exploratory expeditions of Thutmose I, and finally via Thutmose III’s relentless annual campaigning. The last stage, perhaps already anticipated during the joint reign with Hatshepsut,1 took place over the better part of two decades in the middle of the fifteenth century B.C. and occasioned such an influx of prisoners of war that the citizens of the imperial center at Thebes found themselves surrounded by foreign slaves.

In this transformational moment, then, Egypt’s economy was radically reworked, such that much of the hard labor on state projects and institutional land was now undertaken by a new population. But the point that I argue in this essay and illustrate through one specific case study is that this new population was in and of itself symbolic of a new world order. Now, thanks to this glut of foreign chattel, Egyptians of even relatively modest status could view themselves as microcosms of the state — as literal or symbolic masters over an enslaved enemy.

The foreign prisoners of war whose entrance and acculturation into Egyptian society are traced in this essay are first depicted at work on the estates of some of Hatshepsut’s most esteemed nobles. To the best of my knowledge, images of these highly recognizable men appear in Egyptian art abruptly during this reign, although admittedly the numbers of decorated tombs constructed prior to this point in the early Eighteenth Dynasty is small. They reach the zenith of their numbers in the sole reign of Thutmose III and gradually disappear from view over the next two generations.

In this essay, it is first argued that among the great mass of prisoners that entered Egypt at this time a distinct foreign population is indeed identifiable in these tombs. Second, the dissemination and eventual assimilation of this cadre of prisoners, turned slaves, is charted. Finally, the case is mustered that these men were, in all likelihood, Hurrian warriors fighting on behalf of Mitanni and that the commemoration of their enslavement reflected both a historical reality and at the same time a celebration of Egypt’s newfound and hard-won position of dominance over its neighbors to the north.

description: We constrain the masses of scalar-tops (stop) by analyzing the new precision Tevatron measurement of the W-boson mass and the LHC/Tevatron indications of a Higgs boson of mass 125.5+-1 GeV. Our study adopts Natural SUSY with low fine-tuning, which has multi-TeV first and second generation squarks and a light Higgsino mixing parameter mu=150 GeV. An effective Lagrangian calculation is made of mh to 3-loops using the H3m program with weak scale SUSY parameters obtained from RGE evolution from the GUT scale in the Natural SUSY scenario. The SUSY radiative corrections to the Higgs mass imply maximal off-diagonal elements of the stop mass-matrix and a mass splitting of the two stops larger than 400 GeV.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Interest in benthic indicators for soft-bottom marine communities has dramatically increased after a rather long period of relative stagnation because of the need for new tools to assess the status of marine waters within the Clean Act and Framework Water Directive. Our expertise in benthic communities has allowed us to accumulate a large amount of data from diverse unpolluted and polluted conditions (accidental oil spill, sewage, long-term anthropogenic estuarine constraints) in tidal estuaries, harbours, and coastal shelves from the Atlantic and Mediterranean (i.e. English Channel, Atlantic and Mediterranean coast of Spain, Marseilles Gulf and Algerian coasts). We have tested several kinds of benthic indicators, such as “sentinel species” (a particular species which by its presence or its relative abundance takes on the role of “warning” about possible imbalances in the surrounding environment or distortions in the functioning of the community), Shannon–Wiener H′ diversity, AMBI and BO2A indices, according to the classification of species into ecological groups, and ITI according to the classification of species into trophic groups, on diverse available datasets. We discuss the selection and use of biological indicators as “objective” or “subjective” alternatives to diagnose soft-bottom communities and to characterize the state of an ecosystem and address, as early as possible, its modification, whether natural or provoked. It is important to remain pragmatic and to recommend simple methods for the research consultancies who are in charge of the assessment of the benthic quality through numerous impact studies.

“We don’t look at the non-custodial father as being a possibility or option” : working towards a better understanding of how fathers are conceived in child protection
Creators: name: Staton, James Arthur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This study examines what concepts about men’s behaviours child protection workers use when working with non-residential and non-custodial fathers. It is a qualitative study informed by Grounded Theory. Ten participants who were all child protection workers were presented with a scenario about a father who was seeking to have his children returned to his care and then asked to describe the decisions they would make in determining the father’s request. The data from the interviews were analysed using constant comparison analysis and produced three theoretical constructs relating to the participants’ concepts of men’s behaviours: the conceptual roots of men’s behaviours; the dichotomy of paternal behaviour; and accepting and excepting men’s behaviours in child protection. The findings indicated that the participants felt that their concepts and understanding of men’s behaviours as fathers came from their own experiences with their fathers and the cultural and societal norms with which they grew up. They believed that men are capable of being good parents and they are an important part of the family but there were some behaviours of men that concerned them. When it came to working with men in child protection, most participants stated that they make every effort to involve fathers and do consider them as a possible resource. There is a belief that fathers are capable of looking after their children but, as single fathers, they may need to be monitored and provided with supports. Demonstrating willingness to parent, some positive parenting skills and a willingness to be cooperative were considered acceptable behaviours. Behaviours that were considered exceptable were: a recent and extensive criminal history; extreme aggression; secrecy; and sexual abuse. However, with all these behaviours, there was a willingness to continue to work with the father to keep him involved in some capacity.

description: As in many sacred monarchies, the central paradox of Egyptian kingship was that the body politic was unequivocally divine but was by necessity filled by a body natural, subject to the laws of nature and to all too human foibles (Kantorowitz 1957). In emic terms, the king when fully immersed in his hallowed role as the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt was the nsw, while his physical, individual self was referred to as the hm--or "incarnation" (Goedicke 1960: 17-37, 51-79; Blumenthal 1970: 23). Those few points in Egyptian history where the humanity of a particular Pharaoh may be glimpsed are precious on account of their rarity. For the most part, Pharaohs were portrayed as the living image of the most esteemed god, the distillation of all that was perfect in heaven and earth. This chapter focuses on the manner in which this Pharaonic ideal of kingship was promoted, enacted, and assiduously protected from any tarnish that an imperfect mortal occupant might introduce.

description: We study bosonic atoms on the p-band of a two dimensional optical square lattice in the presence of a confining trapping potential. Using a mean-field approach, we show how the anisotropic tunneling for p-band particles affects the cloud of condensed atoms by characterizing the ground state density and the coherence properties of the atomic states both between sites and atomic flavors. In contrast to the usual results based on the local density approximation, the atomic density can become anisotropic. This anisotropic effect is especially pronounced in the limit of weak atom-atom interactions and of weak lattice amplitudes, i.e. when the properties of the ground state are mainly driven by the kinetic energies. We also investigate how the trap influences known properties of the non-trapped case. In particular, we focus on the behavior of the anti-ferromagnetic vortex-antivortex order, which for the confined system, is shown to disappear at the edges of the condensed cloud.

description: We report the electrochemical performances of mesoporous Zn0.2Ni0.05Co0.5O microspheres, synthesised through a simple hydrothermal route for supercapacitor application. Structural properties were studied by using powder X-ray diffraction, thermo-gravimetric, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy analyses. The crystal lattice parameter of mesoporous Zn0.2Ni0.05Co0.5O microspheres (MPS1) is found to be 8.108 Å with an average crystallite size of 31 nm. The electron microscopic study reveals the sphere-shaped microstructures with porous nature. The specific surface area of MPS1 found to be 54 m2 g−1 with bimodal average pore diameter of 4 and 12 nm from N2 absorption-desorption data. The electrochemical properties of MPS1 electrode were investigated by different experimental measurements in three-electrode configuration. The specific capacity of the electrode found to be 270 C g−1 (675 F g−1) at 4.08 A g−1 and 1253 C g−1 (2088 F g−1) at 2 mV s−1. The charge storage mechanism was explicated via Trasatti plotting approach. It reveals the major ratio of the charges stored in the outer surface of MPS1. Furthermore, the electrochemical long-term cycling stability of the electrode is examined by the galvanostatic charge-discharge cycle test and found an excellent cycling retention about 97% of its initial value after 1000 cycles.

description: The combustion of fossil fuels produces pollutants such as soot, which consists of carbonaceous particles whose emission is regulated by environmental laws. Soot is mainly formed from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), through different reaction ways and, once formed, it can adsorb PAH on its surface. These compounds have an environmental importance due to their carcinogenic and mutagenic potential. In the last years, the oxygenated derivatives of PAH (oxy-PAH) have also been considered as dangerous since they have been found to be mutagenic for bacterial and human cells. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to quantify simultaneously selected PAH and oxy-PAH from different samples of soot. The quantification method involves Soxhlet extraction and subsequent concentration by rotary evaporation that allows to recover the analysed compounds from soot samples. The PAH and oxy-PAH were identified and quantified, by a single injection, using a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The method showed a good repeatability using a diesel soot surrogate test sample, Printex-U. The validation process showed that most of the compounds are recovered between the values established for the Standard Reference Materials analysed, 1650b and 1649b. The values of the mass fraction of the oxy-PAH obtained in this work showed, in general, a good match with those indicated in other studies.

description: We consider three-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories on a three-sphere and analyze their free energy F as a function of background gauge and supergravity fields. A crucial role is played by certain local terms in these background fields, including several Chern-Simons terms. The presence of these terms clarifies a number of subtle properties of F. This understanding allows us to prove the F-maximization principle. It also explains why computing F via localization leads to a complex answer, even though we expect it to be real in unitary theories. We discuss several corollaries of our results and comment on the relation to the F-theorem.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Annex 3 to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) includes 11 descriptors of “Good Environmental Status” (GES), including “seafloor integrity”. This descriptor is defined as follows: “Sea-floor integrity is at a level that ensures that the structure and functions of the ecosystems are safeguarded and benthic ecosystems, in particular, are not adversely affected.” ICES and the Joint Research Council were tasked to oversee expert task groups (TG) for several of these descriptors who would review scientific information on each descriptor and provide expert guidance on: (i) a scientific consensus on the interpretation of the terms in the descriptor; (ii) what constitutes GES according to the descriptor, including what are “axes of degradation”; (iv) how to deal with issues of ecological scale; (v) what are the ecological attributes of seafloor integrity; (vi) what indicators or classes of indicators for assessing status on the attributes, including how would reference levels be set on the indicators and what pressures are linked to the indicators; (vii) how would information on the indicators be rolled up to an overall evaluation of GES for seafloor integrity; and (viii) research and monitoring needs. This paper summarizes the main conclusions of TG 6 on all of these issues. The focus is shared between the chosen attributes (substrata, bioengineers, oxygen, contaminants, species composition, size composition, trophodynamics, life history traits) and their indicators, how to deal with scale, and how to aggregate results across indicators in assessing GES. The latter issues are important for those using indicators and the conclusions of TG 6 relative to seafloor integrity were influential on the conclusions regarding use of advice from all the descriptor task groups.
The leptoquark Hunter's guide: Pair production

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Leptoquarks occur in many new physics scenarios and could be the next big discovery at the LHC. I will discuss a model-independent search strategy covering all possible leptoquarks is possible and has not yet been fully exploited. To be systematic we organize the possible leptoquark final states according to a leptoquark matrix with entries corresponding to nine experimentally distinguishable leptoquark decays: any of {light-jet, b-jet, top} with any of {neutrino, e/μ, τ}. The 9 possibilities can be explored in a largely model-independent fashion with pair-production of leptoquarks at the LHC. I will review the status of experimental searches for the 9 components of the leptoquark matrix. Based on current limits, I will derive bounds on a complete set of Minimal Leptoquark models which span all possible flavor and gauge representations for scalar and vector leptoquarks.

description: We consider approximate cloaking from a regularization viewpoint introduced in [13] for EIT and further investigated in [12] [17] for the Helmholtz equation. The cloaking schemes in [12] and [17] are shown to be (optimally) within $|\lnρ|^{-1}$ in 2D and $ρ$ in 3D of perfect cloaking, where $ρ$ denotes the regularization parameter. In this paper, we show that by employing a sound-hard layer right outside the cloaked region, one could (optimally) achieve $ρ^N$ in $\mathbb{R}^N,\ N\geq 2$, which significantly enhances the near-cloak. We then develop a cloaking scheme by making use of a lossy layer with well-chosen parameters. The lossy-layer cloaking scheme is shown to possess the same cloaking performance as the one with a sound-hard layer. Moreover, it is shown that the lossy layer could be taken as a finite realization of the sound-hard layer. Numerical experiments are also presented to assess the cloaking performances of all the cloaking schemes for comparisons.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Aquaculture is an important component of New Zealand’s economy and, like many other countries, there is increasing pressure on scientists to ensure operations are sustainable. Although longline mussel culture dominates, high-production salmon farms are increasingly being interspersed among existing shellfish leases, providing a unique set of environmental impacts. Most production in New Zealand is focused in the South Island (Marlborough Sounds) and as a result, site morphologies and substrates are very similar, although water velocities can vary considerably (from 2 to 25 cm s–1). Natural infaunal populations are relatively diverse but there are marked changes associated with aquaculture operations, with responses depending on the type of farming undertaken. Under high flow (>15 cm s–1) finfish farms abundances of enrichment tolerant species can be exceptionally high (>100 000 individuals m–2) whereas at low flow sites diversity and abundance can be greatly reduced (almost azoic) under certain conditions. In contrast, the benthos beneath mussel farms tends to display a weaker response and sometimes can even have elevated diversity and abundance as a result of substrate modification from mussel shells and other organic debris. There is a need for a standard approach to evaluation of enrichment status. In the northern hemisphere, a variety of biotic indices/indicators have been established as reliable approaches for evaluation of environmental condition. However, these frequently require a complex understanding of species taxonomy and functional biology; something that is often lacking in southern temperate faunas. This study reviews the performance and transferability of selected biotic indices to southern hemisphere ecosystems and considers the levels of functional understanding needed to assess benthic health.

description: Let us say that an element of a given family $\A$ of subsets of $\R^d$ can be reconstructed using $n$ test sets if there exist $T_1,...,T_n \subset \R^d$ such that whenever $A,B\in \A$ and the Lebesgue measures of $A \cap T_i$ and $B \cap T_i$ agree for each $i=1,...,n$ then $A=B$. Our goal will be to find the least such $n$. We prove that if $\A$ consists of the translates of a fixed reasonably nice subset of $\R^d$ then this minimum is $n=d$. In order to obtain this result we reconstruct a translate of a fixed function using $d$ test sets as well, and also prove that under rather mild conditions the measure function $f_{K,θ} (r) = \la^{d-1} (K \cap \{x \in \RR^d : = r\})$ of the sections of $K$ is absolutely continuous for almost every direction $θ$. These proofs are based on techniques of harmonic analysis. We also show that if $\A$ consists of the magnified copies $rE+t$ $(r\ge 1, t\in\R^d)$ of a fixed reasonably nice set $E\subset \R^d$, where $d\ge 2$, then $d+1$ test sets reconstruct an element of $\A$. This fails in $\R$: we prove that an interval, and even an interval of length at least 1 cannot be reconstructed using 2 test sets. Finally, using randomly constructed test sets, we prove that an element of a reasonably nice $k$-dimensional family of geometric objects can be reconstructed using $2k+1$ test sets. A example from algebraic topology shows that $2k+1$ is sharp in general.
