description: We calculate the lattice-driven in-plane $(κ_{\parallel})$ and out-of-plane $(κ_{\perp})$ thermal conductivities of Bi$_2$Se$_3$ bulk, and of films of different thicknesses, using the Boltzmann equation with phonon scattering times obtained from anharmonic third order density functional perturbation theory. We compare our results for the lattice component of the thermal conductivity with published data for $κ_{\parallel}$ on bulk samples and with our room-temperature thermoreflectance measurements of $κ_{\perp}$ on films of thickness (L) ranging from 18~nm to 191~nm, where the lattice component has been extracted via the Wiedemann-Franz law. Ab-initio theoretical calculations on bulk samples, including an effective model to account for finite sample thickness and defect scattering, compare favorably both for the bulk case (from literature) and thin films (new measurements). In the low-T limit the theoretical in-plane lattice thermal conductivity of bulk Bi$_2$Se$_3$ agrees with previous measurements by assuming the occurrence of intercalated Bi$_2$ layer defects. The measured thermal conductivity monotonically decreases by reducing $L$, its value is $κ_{\perp}\approx 0.39\pm 0.08$~W/m$\cdot$K for $L=18$ nm and $κ_{\perp}=0.68\pm0.14$~W/m$\cdot$K for $L=191$ nm. We show that the decrease of room-temperature $κ_{\perp}$ in Bi$_2$Se$_3$ thin films as a function of sample thickness can be explained by the incoherent scattering of out-of-plane momentum phonons with the film surface. Our work outlines the crucial role of sample thinning in reducing the out-of-plane thermal conductivity.

description: We assess the impact of the scattering physics assumptions on the thermoelectric properties of five Co-based p-type half-Heusler alloys by considering full energy-dependent scattering times, versus the commonly employed constant scattering time. For this, we employ DFT bandstructures and a full numerical scheme that uses Fermi's Golden Rule to extract the momentum relaxation times of each state at every energy, momentum, and band. We consider electron-phonon scattering (acoustic and optical), as well as ionized impurity scattering, and evaluate the qualitative and quantitative differences in the power factors of the materials compared to the case where the constant scattering time is employed. We show that the thermoelectric power factors extracted from the two different methods differ in terms of i) their ranking between materials, ii) the carrier density where the peak power factor appears, and iii) their trends with temperature. We further show that the constant relaxation time approximation smoothens out the richness in the bandstructure features, thus limiting the possibilities of exploring this richness for material design and optimization. These details are more properly captured under full energy/momentum-dependent scattering time considerations. Finally, by mapping the conductivities extracted within the two schemes, we provide appropriate density-dependent constant relaxation times that could be employed as a fast first order approximation for extracting charge transport properties in the half-Heuslers we consider.

description: The survival of the small-farm sector in the process of agricultural modernization in Latin America has been a concern for many authors and institutions. It is generally believed that the small-farm sector is bypassed in the process of agricultural development. The authors analyze modernization of bean; maize cropping systems in Southern Colombia. Prices, production practices and profitability are compared for 1975 and 1989. By means of a production function, the effects of allocative efficiency, technical efficiency and technical change on productivity and profitability are analyzed. The observed changes reflect very well the price trends over the period. Between 1975 and 1989, total factor productivity increased by 50%. Bean/ maize producers almost doubled returns to land and labor. Increased technical efficiency had most effect on profitability, followed by technical change. Allocative efficiency had more impact on yields than on profitability because it was associated with high input costs. Considerable opportunities for further productivity increases were identified. Conclusions on the nature of the modernization process are drawn. Implications for agricultural policy, research and the role of the small farm in agricultural development are derived.

description: We compute the NNLO QCD corrections to three-photon production at the LHC. This is the first NNLO QCD calculation for a $2\to 3$ process. Our calculation is exact, except for the scale-independent part of the two-loop finite remainder which is included in the leading color approximation. We estimate the size of the missing two-loop corrections and find them to be phenomenologically negligible. We compare our predictions with available 8 TeV measurement from the ATLAS collaboration. We find that the inclusion of the NNLO corrections eliminates the existing significant discrepancy with respect to NLO QCD predictions, paving the way for precision phenomenology in this process.

description: Many acellular assays have been developed for assessing the oxidative potential (OP) of ambient PM2.5, yet no consensus has been reached on the most appropriate method. Most of these methods are highly time- and labor-intensive, making it difficult to analyze a large sample-set. Here, we have developed a semi-automated multi-endpoint ROS-activity analyzer (SAMERA) for measuring the five most commonly used endpoints of OP: consumption rate of dithiothreitol (OPDTT), ascorbic acid (OPAA-SLF) and glutathione (OPGSH-SLF), and the generation rate of •OH in DTT (OPOH-DTT) and in surrogate lung fluid (OPOH-SLF). A high analytical precision [coefficient of variation =5-8% for all endpoints using positive controls such as Cu(II), Fe(II), phenanthrenequinone (PQ) and 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (5-H-1,4-NQ), and 8-13% using PM2.5 samples] was obtained for SAMERA. The results generated from SAMERA were in good agreement with those obtained from the manual operation using both positive controls (slope =0.95-1.15 for automated vs. manual, R2 = 0.99) and ambient samples (slope =0.89-1.09, R2 = 0.86-0.97). SAMERA takes 3 hours to analyze one sample for all these OP endpoints, which is a substantial improvement over the manual analysis protocol. SAMERA was employed to analyze a subset (N = 44) of ambient PM2.5 samples collected from the Midwest US. Elevated OP activities in the week of Independence Day (July 3-5, 2018) were observed for most endpoints measured by SAMERA at all the sites. Preliminary results demonstrate the stability and capability of SAMERA for providing a comprehensive OP dataset, which can be integrated into the epidemiological models in future studies.

description: This paper contributes to the productivity literature in developing country agriculture by quantifying the level of efficiency for a sample of peasant farmers from Eastern Paraguay. A stochastic efficiency decomposition methodology is used to derive technical, allocative and economic efficiency measures separately for cotton and cassava. An average economic efficiency of 40.1% for cotton and of 52.3% for cassava is found, which suggests considerable room for productivity gains for the farms in the sample through better use of available resources given the state of technology. Gains in output through productivity growth have become increasingly important to Paraguay as the opportunities to bring additional virgin lands into cultivation have significantly diminished in recent years. No clear strategy to improve farm productivity could be gleaned from an examination of the relationship between efficiency and various socioeconomic variables. One possible explanation for this finding is the existence of a stage of development threshold below which there is no consistent relationship between socioeconomic variables and productivity. If this is the case, then our results suggest that this sample of Paraguayan peasants are yet to reach such a threshold. Hence, improvements in educational and extension services, for example, would be needed to go beyond this threshold. Once this is accomplished, additional productivity gains would be obtained by further investments in human capital and related factors.

description: The melting transition of the vortex lattice in highly anisotropic, layered superconductors with commensurate, periodic columnar pins is studied in a geometry where magnetic field and columnar pins are normal to the layers. Thermodynamic properties and equilibrium density distributions are obtained from numerical minimizations of an appropriate free-energy functional. We find a line of first-order transitions that ends at a critical point as the pin concentration is increased. A simple Landau theory providing a semi-quantitative explanation of the numerical results is proposed.

description: We report the detection of polarized emission in the vicinity of the Galactic center for 158 positions within eight different pointings of the Hertz polarimeter operating on the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. These pointings include positions 2 arcminutes offset to the E, NE, and NW of M-0.02-0.07; positions to the SE and NW of the 20 km/s cloud (M-0.13-0.08), CO+0.02-0.02, M+0.07-0.08, and M+0.11-0.08. We use these data in conjunction with previous far-infrared and submillimeter polarization results to find that the direction of the inferred magnetic field is related to the density of the molecular material in the following way: in denser regions, the field is generally parallel to the Galactic plane, whereas in regions with lower densities, the field is generally perpendicular to the plane. This finding is consistent with a model in which an initially poloidal field has been sheared into a toroidal configuration in regions that are dense enough such that the gravitational energy density is greater than the energy density of the magnetic field. Using this model, we estimate the characteristic strength of the magnetic field in the central 30 pc of our Galaxy to be a few mG.

description: In FY 2016, the research team evaluated Security Cards, STRIDE (Spoofing identity, Tampering with data, Repudiation, Information disclosure, Denial of service, Elevation of privilege), and persona non grata (PnG) for effectiveness in threat identification. Security Cards is an approach that emphasizes creativity and brainstorming over more structured approaches such as checklists. STRIDE involves modeling a system and subsystem and related data flows. PnGs represent archetypal users who behave in unwanted, possibly nefarious ways. The team used two scenarios: an aircraft maintenance scenario and a drone swarm scenario, both described in this technical note in detail, along with the project outcomes. No individual threat modeling method included all identified threats.
The research team subsequently developed the Hybrid Threat Modeling Method (hTMM), considering the desirable characteristics for a Threat Modeling Method. At a high level, the hTMM includes the following steps, described in detail in the technical note: (1) Identify the system you will be threat modeling. (2) Apply Security Cards according to developers’ suggestions. (3) Prune PnGs that are unlikely or for which no realistic attack vectors could be identified. (4) Summarize results from the above steps, utilizing tool support. (5) Continue with a formal risk assessment method.

description: To achieve its strategic objective of food security, the Government of India (GOI) maintains an elaborate set of food grain policies which include public procurement and price support operations, price stabilisation through buffer stocks, public food grain distribution, and extensive controls on private trade. We use aggregate and household level evidence to show that this system is costly, generates inefficiencies in the food grain marketing system (for both the public and the private sector), and often offers few, if any, benefits to its intended beneficiaries, the poor. On this basis we propose an integrated reform agenda involving improvements in the targeting of the public distribution system, creation of an enabling environment for increased private participation in food grain markets and greater incentives for efficiency by the Food Corporation of India (FCI). © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: Incorporating carboxyl group into the poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) resin can endow PVC with reactivity in some applications. In this work, poly(vinyl chloride)-co-poly(acrylic acid) random copolymer (PVCA) with low average number molecular weight (Mn, ∼10 k) is synthesized by precipitation polymerization. By tuning acrylic acid dropping rate, the PVCA copolymer with much more uniform copolymer composition is obtained in comparison to all monomer-in process. Subsequently, the PVCA is utilized as a novel polymer modifier for the surface treatment of CaCO3 particles and its effect on the mechanical properties of obtained rigid PVC composites are evaluated systematically. As a result, the PVAC modified CaCO3 particles exhibit uniform dispersibility and excellent compatibility in PVC matrix. Additionally, the thermal stability is improved significantly owing to the calcium ions on the surface of CaCO3 particles, which scavenge the hydrogen chloride and retard the autocatalytic dehydrochlorination process. Impressively, it also has an enhancement both in tensile strength (ca. 46.4 MPa, and 119.8% elongation at break) and in impact strength (2.7 kJ m−2) in comparison to those modified by commercialized agents such as stearic acid and titanate ester. This work provides valuable insights for the preparation of vinyl chloride copolymers and opens a new application.

The method is based on the low-energy electron point source microscope. The field emission tip of the microscope is used as a movable electrode to make a well-defined local electrical contact on a controlled place of a nanometer-size object. This allows transport measurements of the object to be conducted. The technique was applied to carbon nanotube ropes.

This is not seen to date in any other HF superconductor and is a signature of isotropic pairing symmetry, possibly related to a novel nonmagnetic "quadrupolar Kondo" HF mechanism in PrOs4Sb12. The T = 0 relaxation rate σ_s(0) = 0.91(1) μs^-1 yields an estimated penetration depth λ(0) = 3440(20) Å, which is considerably shorter than in other HF superconductors.

description: We study the four-top final state at the LHC as a probe for New Physics (NP) effects due to new particles that couple predominantly to the top quark and whose masses are below the top-quark-pair production threshold. We consider simple NP models containing a new particle with either spin 0, spin 1, or spin 2, and find benchmark points compatible with current experimental results. We find that interference effects between NP and QED amplitudes can be large, pointing out the necessity of NLO contributions to be explicitly computed and taken into account when NP is present. We examine kinematic differences between these models and the Standard Model (SM) at the parton level and the reconstructed level. In the latter case, we focus on events selected requiring two same-sign leptons and multiple jets. We investigate how the different Lorentz structure of the light NP affects the kinematic hardness, the polarization, the spin correlations, and the angular distributions of the parton-level and/or final-state particles. We find that spin-2 light NP would be identified by harder kinematics than the SM. We also show that the angular separation between the same-sign leptons is a sensitive observable for spin-0 NP. The spin-0 and spin-2 NP cases would also yield a signal in $t\bar t γγ$ with the invariant mass of the photons indicating the mass of the new particle. The spin-1 NP would be identified through an excess in four-top signal and slight or not modification in other observables, as for instance the lack of signal in $t\bar t γγ$ due to the Landau-Yang theorem. We comment on the opportunities that would open from the kinematic reconstruction of some of the top quarks in the four-top state. Our results provide new handles to probe for light top-philic NP as part of the ongoing experimental program of searches for four-top production at the LHC Run 2 and beyond.

description: Brillouin imaging is an emerging optical elastography technique able to generate maps of the mechanical properties at microscale, with great potential in biophysical and biomedical fields. A key parameter is its spatial resolution, which is usually identified with that of the confocal microscope coupled to the Brillouin interferometer. Conversely, here we demonstrate that the mean free path of acoustic phonons plays a major role in defining the resolution, especially for high numerical aperture confocal setups. Surprisingly, the resolution of elastography maps may even deteriorate when decreasing the scattering volume.

description: We have assembled a large sample of virialized systems, comprising 66 galaxy clusters, groups and elliptical galaxies with high quality X-ray data. To each system we have fitted analytical profiles describing the gas density and temperature variation with radius, corrected for the effects of central gas cooling. We present an analysis of the scaling properties of these systems and focus in this paper on the gas distribution and M-T relation. In addition to clusters and groups, our sample includes two early-type galaxies, carefully selected to avoid contamination from group or cluster X-ray emission. We compare the properties of these objects with those of more massive systems and find evidence for a systematic difference between galaxy-sized haloes and groups of a similar temperature. We derive a mean logarithmic slope of the M-T relation within R_200 of 1.84+/-0.06, although there is some evidence of a gradual steepening in the M-T relation, with decreasing mass. We recover a similar slope using two additional methods of calculating the mean temperature. Repeating the analysis with the assumption of isothermality, we find the slope changes only slightly, to 1.89+/-0.04, but the normalization is increased by 30%. Correspondingly, the mean gas fraction within R_200 changes from (0.13+/-0.01)h70^-1.5 to (0.11+/-0.01)h70^-1.5, for the isothermal case, with the smaller fractional change reflecting different behaviour between hot and cool systems. There is a strong correlation between the gas fraction within 0.3*R_200 and temperature. This reflects the strong (5.8 sigma) trend between the gas density slope parameter, beta, and temperature, which has been found in previous work. (abridged)

 Caperonotus Napp, 1993: 657; Monné, 2005: 122 (cat.).
 Type species: Orthoschema cardinale Bates, 1870 (original designation).
 Redescription. Frons short, transverse, subvertical. Antennal tubercles rounded, not prominent. Genae half as long as the lower eye lobes, acute at apex. Eyes finely granulate, emarginate; lower lobes moderately large. Mandibles slender, not angulate, acute at apex. Ventral surface of head, excluding the gula, entirely plicate. Antennae 11-segmented, exceeding the elytral apex by four to five segments in males and by one segment in females. Scape cylindrical, without basal impression; segments from 3 cylindrical, conspicuously carinate and sulcate on four sides; apical third of segment 3 and at length of 4 to 11 with a well developed poriferous system divided by carina; segments 3 to 5 with short, inner apical spines.
Prothorax slightly wider than long, without lateral tubercles, slight and gradually expanded backwards from apex, widest at posterior third. Pronotum plane, transversely plicate. Intercoxal process of prosternum broad, about half to two thirds as wide as one procoxa. Procoxal cavities feebly angulate, almost closed at sides, open behind. Mesosternal process as wide as one mesocoxa, subparallel at sides and emarginate at apex. Mesocoxal cavities opened to epimera.
Elytra slightly and gradually expanded from base to apical third, then rounded attenuate to apices which are feebly emarginate.
Legs short. Femora subclavate, rounded at apex; metafemora, at most, reaching elytral apex. Tibiae cylindrical, not carinate. Tarsi short. First segment of metatarsi shorter than the following two combined.
 Remarks. Caperonotus differs from the other genera of Compsocerini Thomson, 1864 by the following characters combined: 1) prothorax and elytra gradually expanded backwards; 2) antennae with poriferous system; 3) femora subclavate; metafemora, at most, reaching the elytral apex; 4) intercoxal process of prosternum and mesosternum wide, the former truncate at apex, the second emarginate; 4) procoxal cavities almost closed at sides; 5) frons short, subvertical; 6) tibiae not carinate. According to Napp (1993: 663, fig. 33 and 667, fig. 54) the females of C. cardinalis and C. superbus have very elongated ovipositor with symbiont-containing pouches opening into the ovipositor.

description: We demonstrate that angle-resolved soft x-ray spectroscopy can resolve absorption by inequivalent oxygen sites and by different orbitals belonging to the same site in NaV2O5. By rotating the polarization direction, we see a dramatic change in the absorption spectra at the oxygen K edge. Our theory identifies the detailed composition of the spectra and predicts a correct energy-ordering of the orbitals of three inequivalent oxygen atoms. Because different orbitals dominate absorption spectra at different energies and angles, one can excite at a specific site and ``orbital''. In contrast, absorption at the vanadium L edge does not show large changes when varying the polarization direction. The reason for this is that different excitation channels (involving different initial states for the excited electron) overlap in energy and vary in compensating ways, obscuring each channel's sensitive polarization dependence.

description: In this work we introduce a cosmological constant in the extended Newtonian gravity theory. To this end, we extend the exotic Newton-Hooke algebra by introducing new generators and central charges. The new algebra obtained here has been denoted as exotic Newtonian algebra and reproduces the extended Newtonian one in the flat limit $\ell\rightarrow\infty$. A three-dimensional Chern-Simons action for the exotic Newtonian algebra is presented. We show that the non-relativistic gravity theory proposed here reproduces the most general extended Newtonian gravity theory in the flat limit.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Cape Floristic Region
PhD

description: Understanding the distribution, abundance and diversity of species and the mechanisms causing these patterns has been the interest of ecologists and taxonomists for decades. The exceptionally high plant diversity in the Fynbos biome has been well studied. Whilst early arguments suggested that the high plant diversity is not reflected in the arthropod diversity and that insect species richness is low compared to other comparable areas, these observations might have been hampered by the taxonomic impediment. Despite global recognition of the significance of this below-ground component of diversity for ecosystem functioning, soil is one of the most poorly studied habitats of terrestrial ecosystems. Although knowledge is increasing for epigaeic groups, other significant groups such as the Collembola remain especially poorly understood. This thesis starts addressing this serious gap in knowledge concerning the below-ground component of biodiversity in the Fynbos biome and the effects of landscape transformation thereon. As part of the work, considerable attention was given to resolving the taxonomic impediment for the springtail fauna of the Fynbos biome using modern morphological and DNA barcoding methods, while also examining the correlates of soil animal diversity in the biome, by using Collembola (springtails) as exemplars. First, using a combination of published records of Collembola from South Africa, various sampling methods and DNA barcoding, a species list is compiled for the Western Cape. Currently 213 species are known to exist from the Western Cape. A high level of cryptic diversity was also found in several genera, together with several potential species radiations in the Ectonura, Seira, Parisotoma and Cryptopygus.

Next-generation test of cosmic inflation

description: The increasing precision of cosmological datasets is opening up new opportunities to test predictions from cosmic inflation. Here we study the impact of high precision constraints on the primordial power spectrum and show how a new generation of observations can provide impressive new tests of the slow-roll inflation paradigm, as well as produce significant discriminating power among different slow-roll models. In particular, we consider next-generation measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies and (especially) polarization, as well as new Lyman-$α$ measurements that could become practical in the near future. We emphasize relationships between the slope of the power spectrum and its first derivative that are nearly universal among existing slow-roll inflationary models, and show how these relationships can be tested on several scales with new observations. Among other things, our results give additional motivation for an all-out effort to measure CMB polarization.

Remarks
Tippmann (1939) only provided detailed locality data for the two specimens he collected personally; the other type specimens were collected by local collectors in the same area. Only one specimen (ZMH824664) bears original Tippmann labels, whereas the other specimen (ZMH824665) only has handwritten or printed labels provided by Emil Ross, from whom the specimens came to the ZMH. The holotype is deposited at the USNM (former F. Tippmann collection # 41681) and further paratypes are at the SNSD and MCSNM.
The collection of Friedrich F. Tippmann (1894–1974) was the largest specialized collection of the longhorn beetles that ever existed, with more than 100,000 specimens, of nearly 3000 genera and 1500 species from around the world (Monné 2006). According to the database of the Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut (SDEI), most of his material is currently deposited at the USNM. Evidence of how some of his type material arrived to the ZMH remains elusive, as major parts of the collection were destroyed including all documentation, such as accession books, inventory lists and card catalogues were lost during the Allied bombing of Hamburg in 1943, (Simões et al. 2021). Thus, we speculate that the material arrived at the ZMH along with the collection of Emil Ross (1870–1943), who had one of the largest and most important private collections in Germany (Weidner 1976), was transferred to the ZMH in 1944 (Weidner 1976; Simões et al. 2021).

description: The hyper-netted chain (HNC) and Percus-Yevick (PY) approximations are used to study the phase diagram of a simple hard-core Yukawa model of charge-stabilized colloidal particles in a two-dimensional system. We calculate the static structure factor and the pair distribution function over a wide range of parameters. Using the statics correlation functions we present an estimate for the liquid-solid phase diagram for the wide range of the parameters.
