description: This study utilizes quantitative analysis to evaluate different types of voter engagement models. In an attempt to expand on arguably limited traditional models of voting that use rational choice theory at their core, this study examines symbolic variables that look at feelings about racialized discrimination. To build out models to investigate the effects of demographic, political involvement and racialized discrimination variables, I employed logistic regression on data collected through the 2016 American National Election Studies (ANES). Of note, the quantitative analysis examines voter likelihood as a percentage, in contrast to the more commonly utilized binary voter turnout models. The aim of this analysis is to further examine the effects underlying motivations for engaging with the political process rather than the stated intention of a potential voter. This study found statistically significant results that showed important effects within the key racialized discrimination model. First, individuals who felt that the federal government was more likely to discriminate against whites had a significantly higher likelihood to vote than those who did not feel any discrimination occurs. Second, that those who did not feel any discrimination based on their skin-tone were approximately 10 percentage points more likely to vote than those who reported feeling a great deal of skin-tone discrimination. These two core findings lead to a discussion about how the feelings of discrimination are created and examined by the individual, as well as by society, the media and political parties. Although more research is needed to further examine the underlying mechanisms behind these findings and the effectiveness of these variables, the results suggest that there can be significant utility found in utilizing symbolic variables of racialized discrimination in models of voting.

description: The morphology of galaxies gives essential constraints on the models of galaxy evolution. The morphology of the features in the low-surface-brightness regions of galaxies has not been fully explored yet because of observational difficulties. Here we present the results of our visual inspections of very deep images of a large volume-limited sample of 177 nearby massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) from the MATLAS survey. The images reach a surface-brightness limit of $28.5-29$ mag arcsec$^{-2}$ in the $g'$ band. Using a dedicated navigation tool and questionnaire, we looked for structures at the outskirts of the galaxies such as tidal shells, streams, tails, disturbed outer isophotes or peripheral star-forming disks, and simultaneously noted the presence of contaminating sources, such as Galactic cirrus. We also inspected internal sub-structures such as bars and dust lanes. We discuss the reliability of this visual classification investigating the variety of answers made by the participants. We present the incidence of these structures and the trends of the incidence with the mass of the host galaxy and the density of its environment. We find an incidence of shells, stream and tails of approximately 15%, about the same for each category. For galaxies with masses over $10^{11}$ M$_\odot$, the incidence of shells and streams increases about 1.7 times. We also note a strong unexpected anticorrelation of the incidence of Galactic cirrus with the environment density of the target galaxy. Correlations with other properties of the galaxies, and comparisons to model predictions, will be presented in future papers.

description: According to the previous EU reports about Hungary: "the officially acknowledged 12 minorities integrated into the Hungarian society, the situation of the Hungarian gypsy minority remains difficult. The territorial layout of the gypsy population is more or less matched by the rural areas, where high rate of unemployment, segregation, inner peripherial situation, and limitless social conflicts are present. In order to meet the above mentioned social-economic challenges it is important that the channels of the improving of cultural capital should run parallel with the characteristics of the local societies. It is important, that with the help of the educational mobilisation programmes the difficulties surfacing due to the social coexistence can be decreaded and the exacerbating social and ethnic conflicts can be dealt with." An important aim of the educational projects is to broaden the possibility of obtaining knowledge concerning social issues and citizenship, prevent the conflicts among clusters due to the social coexistence, strengthen the institutional cooperation, division of labour and to provide a "lifelong-learning" perspective to the groups that fall behind.

description: This study describes multilingual students’ authentic use of their multiple languages in a science classroom in Viljoensdrift, South Africa. There has been a broad scope of research conducted by several researchers with regards to translanguaging and all have proven it to be an eﬀective pedagogical tool that can be used in the process of teaching multilingual students universally. The studies showed that translanguaging can be used to break the common notion of monolingual bias to eradicate the disadvantages it inﬂicts on multilingual students. This present mixed-methods study involves 28 eighth-grade high school Natural Sciences students whose home language is Sotho. The participants were taught in both English and Sotho and were given tutorial materials written in their home language. After the lessons, the participants wrote a post-test and were also interviewed on their experiences of the translanguaging pedagogy and learning materials they used. The post-test results and interview responses highlight the signiﬁcant role played by students’ home language in the science classroom, illustrating the ways in which translanguaging in a science classroom constitutes a resource in joint negotiations of the scientiﬁc content and its related language for multilingual students.

description: The foundation of School of Economics and Social Sciences (SESS) 50 years ago was not the beginning, but was the continuance of the inwardness of predecessor in title of the University’s previously active institutes. There were valuable workshop of social sciences as the names of contemporary teachers and students have indicated. Weighty scientific researches had been started by the regional problematic from the beginning of the 20th century. The country-wide village-researcher front has evolved from it and our University has joined to it. The aims and inwardness has appeared in wide social layers as it has been a part of our University’s courses and has made and were now used source of sociographic literature. The methods and approaches of former village-researcher workshop are still modern and would be exemplar for the regional-researches in our days. The village-seminar course had started again by the SESS in 2006. The aim of the course is not only to discuss about traditions of village-researches and theoretic questions but also to do practical investigations in the present-day villages.
Search for Second-Generation Scalar Leptoquarks in $\bm{p \bar{p}}$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=1.96 TeV

description: Results on a search for pair production of second generation scalar leptoquark in $p \bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=1.96 TeV are reported. The data analyzed were collected by the CDF detector during the 2002-2003 Tevatron Run II and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 198 pb$^{-1}$. Leptoquarks (LQ) are sought through their decay into (charged) leptons and quarks, with final state signatures represented by two muons and jets and one muon, large transverse missing energy and jets. We observe no evidence for $LQ$ production and derive 95% C.L. upper limits on the $LQ$ production cross sections as well as lower limits on their mass as a function of $β$, where $β$ is the branching fraction for $LQ \to μq$.

description: This study is based on a research period, which has been observed abroad in different countries. It introduces a new approach, which can be a solution to reduce the social and territorial inequivalently. This new approach based on three connecting theories like General System Theory, Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid Approach and the Holistic Integrated Approach. The new approach has been named General Spider Map Theory. It is not a real model it is more like new way of think of development. The essential of the theory is that with the tools of reductionist approach to observe and integrate the crucial elements of the Local Community. Let us see the local community, which is situated in the middle of the spider net, and the Local Community is connecting to five pillars. The pillars are the next: Tourism, Social Activity, and Economy, Infrastructure, and Agro-environmental economy. These five pillars give the spider net of the Local Community. Each pillar is an opened system so they are able to get input, make transformation and create outputs. Let us knit the pillars like a real net. This spider net is a new opened system the pillars are its subsystems. If we want to generate development in the Local Community, we shall not develop only one pillar otherwise the spider net will be broken. The harmony inside the net is sensitive and it will disappear if our interaction is not enough maintained. The development has to be a socio-economical influence, which brings together the community, involves the small entrepreneurs to the economical circulation, activates the local education, establishes unique attraction, raises the local heritages, creates equal opportunities for the inhabitants and brings the gap between the less developed and well developed areas.

description: High-temperature bad-metal transport has been recently studied both theoretically and in experiments as one of the key signatures of strong electronic correlations. Here we use the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and its cluster extensions, as well as the finite-temperature Lanczos method (FTLM) to explore the influence of lattice frustration on the thermodynamic and transport properties of the Hubbard model at high temperatures. We consider the triangular and the square lattice at half-filling and at 15\% hole-doping. We find that for $T \gtrsim 1.5t$ the self-energy becomes practically local, while the finite-size effects become small at lattice-size $4 \times 4$ for both lattice types and doping levels. The vertex corrections to optical conductivity, which are significant on the square lattice even at high temperatures, contribute less on the triangular lattice. We find approximately linear temperature dependence of dc resistivity in doped Mott insulator for both types of lattices.

description: Call for Papers: Governing and Living Amid COVID-19 in the MENAGovernments throughout the entire world are grappling with the unchartered waters of COVID-19. As elsewhere, responses to the challenge have varied greatly across the MENA with some national leaders taking action early and decisively and others all but denying its existence. COVID-19 is undoubtedly having an impact on politics and on the very nature of authority in the region. The question is what type of impact and where and how will it differ, and why. COVID-19 has furthermore brought important structural inequalities into the spotlight as economic suffering and death tolls reflect class, gender and race differences. How are peoples experiencing COVID-19 and what will be the long-term impact politically, economically, socially, and culturally? COVID-19 has moreover impacted, if not exacerbated, existing crises in the region. How has COVID-19 impacted the revolution in Lebanon or the on-going war in Yemen, for example? How has it affected migration and refugees and what is the long-term impact in terms of policy and refugees themselves? These are just some of the questions this special issue seeks to address. This special issue will take a broad look at how the MENA – the state, governments, and societies of the region -- are governing and/or living amid COVID-19. It encourages papers from a wide range of disciplines and methodological approaches in the social sciences and humanities.

description: The generation of high-order harmonics in diatomic molecules is investigated within the framework of the strong-field approximation. We show that the conventional saddle-point approximation is not suitable for large internuclear distances. An adapted saddle-point method that takes into account the molecular structure is presented. We analyze the predictions for the harmonic-generation spectra in both the velocity and the length gauge. At large internuclear separations, we compare the resulting cutoffs with the predictions of the simple-man's model. Good agreement is obtained only by using the adapted saddle-point method combined with the velocity gauge.

description: Irrigated agriculture has increased steadily in Syria over the last decades, almost doubling since 1985. This mounting pace has responded to the nation’s food security policy objectives to satisfy the food production needs of an increasing population that features one of the largest growth rates in the world, namely 3,50 percent in 1985 and still 3,39 percent in 2007. Total expenditures for irrigated agriculture accounted for almost 70 percent of all expenditures in agriculture. Sustainable irrigation water policies aimed at increasing the efficiency of water use in agriculture and at conserving water resources by reducing future consumption. The Euphrates River is 2.800 km long and its middle traverses a wide floodplain in Syria, where it is used extensively for irrigation, and the Euphrates Dam is 230 ft (70 m) high. The total estimated water use volume is about 15 billion m3. The Euphrates and Orontes basins account for about 50% and 20% of the water use respectively. About 701.634 ha has been irrigated by ground water in the year 1997. This area represents 60% of the total irrigated land in Syria It has been gradually increased from 30% during 1970 to 44% in 1980 and 49% in 1990. The Government projects extended on 349.820 hectare area, which includes large, medium and small scale farms. The small scale government project is under 2000 hectare, but large scale project over 20.000 hectare areas. The Syrian Government wants to ensure the food supply for sharply increasing population based on established governmental agricultural projects, as state-owned farms. Water balance for Syria indicates that most of the basins are in deficit. This will be exacerbated further especially in basins encompassing large urban areas and if the country’s population continues to grow at its current rate (about 3%) and water use efficiency is not increased effectively.

description: The EU took clear steps to suppress and abandon the intervention of maize in 2006. Originally the measure should have been revised in the course of the “Health Check”. But the European Commission (EC) rendered the minimal quality requirement for maize stricter in the intervention period starting 1 November 2006. Later the EC proposed to finish the intervention of maize. According to that decision the intervention of maize exists in the marketing year of 2007/08 and 2008/09 with a quantity limitation but it finishes in the marketing year of 2009/10. The EC argues for the abandonment of maize intervention, because, intervention stocks of cereals have increased significantly after the accession of the 10 new member states (EU-10), and the balance of the maize market is at risk. This measure is aimed to get back the intervention to its original purpose, as a safety net. We prove in this study that the intervention stock of cereal has not significantly increased after the enlargement in 2004 and it is not a reason for finishing maize intervention. The intervention stock of maize has increased since 2004 but not so significantly that it could be a reason for the abandonment of maize intervention.

description: A two-way fixed effects Poisson model is used to investigate the impact of 43 EPA-sponsored pollution prevention (P2) practices on compliance and enforcement for a sample of facilities in the US manufacturing sector. I find that P2 adoption reduces environmental violations in three industries while increasing violations in two others. P2 adoption also spurs fewer enforcement actions in three industries. I further partition the P2 practices into three categories based on their approach to improve environmental performance. In doing so, I find that practices that involve changes in operating procedures--about a third of adopted P2 practices--such as instituting a self-inspection and monitoring program to discover spills or leak sources, improving maintenance scheduling and/or labeling procedures, are effective in reducing violations while practices that involve equipment or material changes are not. I also find that adopters of practices that require changes in either procedures or manufacturing equipment--about half of adopted practices--are rewarded with a more cooperative treatment of environmental infractions with fewer enforcement actions.

description: Risk classification of livestock farms can help stakeholders design and implement risk management measures according to the possessed risk. Our goal is to examine how differently pig farms may contribute to the societal costs of an animal disease outbreak, how valuable this information is to different stakeholders, and how it can be used to target risk management measures. We show that the costs of an outbreak starting from a certain farm can be quantified for the entire sector using bio-economic models. In further studies, this quantified risk can be differentiated so that farms and slaughterhouses internalise the full cost of risk in production decisions and inhibit animal densities, animal contact structures or other characteristics which pose a threat to the sector. Potential benefits due to risk classification could be received by society and producers, and in the long run also by consumers.

description: We present a clustering analysis of the Texas-Oxford NVSS Structure (TONS) radio galaxy redshift survey. This complete flux-limited survey consists of 268 radio galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts in three separate regions of the sky covering a total of 165 deg^2. By going to faint radio flux densities (s_1.4>3 mJy) but imposing relatively bright optical limits (E R 19.5), the TONS sample is optimised for looking at the clustering properties of low luminosity radio galaxies in a region of moderate (0 < z < 0.5) redshifts. We use the two point correlation function to determine the clustering strength of the combined TONS08 and TONS12 sub-samples and find a clustering strength of r_0(z)=8.7+/-1.6 Mpc (h=0.7). If we assume growth of structure by linear theory and that the median redshift is 0.3, this corresponds to r_0(0)=11.0+/-2.0 Mpc which is consistent with the clustering strength of the underlying host galaxies (~ 2.5 Lstar ellipticals) of the TONS radio galaxy population.

description: Let $E_f$ be the energy of some knot $τ$ for any $f$ from certain class of functions. The problem is to find knots with extremal values of energy. We discuss the notion of the locally perturbed knot. The knot circle minimizes some energies $E_f$ and maximizes some others. So, is there any energy such that the circle neither maximizes nor minimizes this energy? Recently it was shown (A.Abrams, J.Cantarella, J.H.G.Fu, M.Ghomu, and R.Howard) that the answer is positive. We prove that nevertheless the circle is a locally extremal knot, i.e. the circle satisfies certain variational equations. We also find these equations. Finally we represent Mm-energy for a knot. The definition of this energy differs with one regarded above. Nevertheless besides its own properties Mm-energy has some similar with Möbius energy properties.

description: Magnesium hydride owns the largest share of publications on solid materials for hydrogen storage. The Magnesium group of international experts contributing to IEA Task 32 Hydrogen Based Energy Storage recently published two review papers presenting the activities of the group focused on magnesium hydride based materials and on Mg based compounds for hydrogen and energy storage. This review article not only overviews the latest activities on both fundamental aspects of Mg-based hydrides and their applications, but also presents a historic overview on the topic and outlines projected future developments. Particular attention is paid to the theoretical and experimental studies of Mg-H system at extreme pressures, kinetics and thermodynamics of the systems based on MgH2,nanostructuring, new Mg-based compounds and novel composites, and catalysis in the Mg based H storage systems. Finally, thermal energy storage and upscaled H storage systems accommodating MgH2 are presented.

description: We introduce the notion of Groebner S-basis of an ideal of the free associative algebra K over a field K invariant under the action of a semigroup S of endomorphisms of the algebra. We calculate the Groebner S-bases of the ideal corresponding to the universal enveloping algebra of the free nilpotent of class 2 Lie algebra and of the T-ideal generated by the polynomial identity [x,y,z]=0, with respect to suitable semigroups S. In the latter case, if |X|>2, the ordinary Groebner basis is infinite and our Groebner S-basis is finite. We obtain also explicit minimal Groebner bases of these ideals.

description: Animals use stereo sampling of odor concentration to localize sources and follow odor trails. We analyze the dynamics of a bilateral model that depends on the simultaneous comparison between odor concentrations detected by left and right sensors. The general model consists of three differential equations for the positions in the plane and the heading. When the odor landscape is an infinite trail, then we reduce the dynamics to a planar system whose dynamics have just two fixed points. Using an integrable approximation (for short sensors) we estimate the basin of attraction. In the case of a radially symmetric landscape, we again can reduce the dynamics to a planar system, but the behavior is considerably richer with multi-stability, isolas, and limit cycles. As in the linear trail case, there is also an underlying integrable system when the sensors are short. In odor landscapes that consist of multiple spots and trail segments, we find periodic and chaotic dynamics and characterize the behavior on trails with gaps and that turn corners.
Entanglement assisted training algorithm for supervised quantum classifiers

description: We propose a new training algorithm for supervised quantum classifiers. Here, we have harnessed the property of quantum entanglement to build a model that can simultaneously manipulate multiple training samples along with their labels. Subsequently a Bell-inequality based cost function is constructed, that can encode errors from multiple samples, simultaneously, in a way that is not possible by any classical means. We show that upon minimizing this cost function one can achieve successful classification in benchmark datasets. The results presented in this paper are for binary classification problems. Nevertheless, the analysis can be extended to multi-class classification problems as well.

description: We present unpublished work of D.Carter, G.Keller, and E.Paige on bounded generation in special linear groups. Let n be a positive integer, and let A = O be the ring of integers of an algebraic number field K (or, more generally, let A be a localization O_S.) If n = 2, assume that A has infinitely many units. We show there is a finite-index subgroup H of SL(n,A), such that every matrix in H is a product of a bounded number of elementary matrices. We also show that if T is in SL(n,A), and T is not a scalar matrix, then there is a finite-index, normal subgroup N of SL(n,A), such that every element of N is a product of a bounded number of conjugates of T. For n > 2, these results remain valid when SL(n,A) is replaced by any of its subgroups of finite index.

Universality-breaking effects in $e^+e^-$ hadronic production processes

description: Recent BELLE measurements provide the cross section for single hadron production in $e^+e^-$ annihilations, differential in thrust and in the hadron transverse momentum with respect to the thrust axis. Universality breaking effects due to process-dependent soft factors make it very difficult to relate this cross sections to those corresponding to hadron-pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilations, where transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization can be applied. The correspondence between these two cross sections is examined in the framework of the Collins-Soper-Sterman factorization, in the collinear as well as in the TMD approach. We propose a scheme that allows to relate the TMD parton densities defined in 1-hadron and in 2-hadron processes, neatly separating, within the soft and collinear parts, the non-perturbative terms from the contributions that can be calculated perturbatively. The regularization of rapidity divergences introduces cut-offs, the arbitrariness of which will be properly reabsorbed by means of a mechanism closely reminiscent of a gauge transformation. In this way, we restore the possibility to perform global phenomenological studies of TMD physics, simultaneously analyzing data belonging to different hadron classes.

description: In this article, we use Exel's construction to associate a C*-algebra to every shift space. We show that it has the C*-algebra defined in [Carlsen and Matsumoto: Some remarks on the C*-algebras associated with subshifts] as a quotient, and possesses properties indicating that it can be thought of as the universal C*-algebra associated to a shift space. We also consider its representations, relationship to other C*-algebras associated to shift spaces, show that it can be viewed as a generalization of the universal Cuntz-Krieger algebra, discuss uniqueness and a faithful representation, provide conditions for it being nuclear, for satisfying the UCT, for being simple, and for being purely infinite, show that the constructed algebras and thus their K-theory, $K_0$ and $K_1$, are conjugacy invariants of one-sided shift spaces, present formulas for those invariants, and also present a description of the structure of gauge invariant ideals.

Itinerant-localized dual character of a strongly-correlated superfluid Bose gas in an optical lattice

description: We investigate a strongly-correlated Bose gas in an optical lattice. Extending the standard-basis operator method developed by Haley and Erdos to a boson Hubbard model, we calculate excitation spectra in the superfluid phase, as well as in the Mott insulating phase, at T=0. In the Mott phase, the excitation spectrum has a finite energy gap, reflecting the localized character of atoms. In the superfluid phase, the excitation spectrum is shown to have an itinerant-localized dual structure, where the gapless Bogoliubov mode (which describes the itinerant character of superfluid atoms) and a band with a finite energy gap coexist. We also show that the rf-tunneling current measurement would give a useful information about the duality of a strongly-correlated superfluid Bose gas near the superfluid-insulator transition.

title: Evaluating the Biotic Condition of Restored Streams in Kentucky’s Inner Bluegrass Region

description: Numerous stream restoration projects have been implemented in Kentucky’s Inner Bluegrass region to offset anthropogenic impacts. These projects range from full channel realignments to volunteer-led riparian installations. To assess the ability of said projects to restore stream habitat and biota, full restoration (n=12) and riparian (n=6) sites were compared to reference (n=6) and disturbed (n=12) sites using RBP and SVAP protocols, macroinvertebrate samples, and geomorphology. General trends for SVAP, RBP, and BI scores, starting with highest habitat or biotic quality, were reference sites, full and riparian restoration sites, then disturbed sites. The number of EPT taxa, another indicator of biological health derived from macroinvertebrate sampling, were greatest at reference sites, followed by full, then riparian, and lastly by disturbed sites.

ANOVAs indicated that biological communities are significantly affected by watershed-scale processes that are not altered by stream restoration, such as watershed impervious cover and nutrient enrichment. Because of the steeper bedrock geology associated with reference sites, geomorphic data were interpreted with caution but suggested that efforts to reduce in-channel shear stress by increasing floodplain connectivity would benefit instream biological communities.

description: We give explicit constructions of sets S with the property that for each integer k, there are at most g solutions to k=s_1+s_2, s_i\in S; such sets are called Sidon sets if g=2 and generalized Sidon sets if g\ge 3. We extend to generalized Sidon sets the Sidon-set constructions of Singer, Bose, and Ruzsa. We also further optimize Koulantzakis' idea of interleaving several copies of a Sidon set, extending the improvements of Cilleruelo & Ruzsa & Trujillo, Jia, and Habsieger & Plagne. The resulting constructions yield the largest known generalized Sidon sets in virtually all cases.

Galactic Supernova Remnants: an Updated Catalogue and Some Statistics
Creators: name: Green, D. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A catalogue of 231 Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) is presented, and the selection effects applicable to the identification of remnants at radio wavelengths are discussed. In addition to missing low surface brightness remnants, small angular size -- i.e. young but distant -- remnants are also missing from the current catalogue of Galactic SNRs. Several statistical properties of Galactic SNRs are discussed, including the surface-brightness/diameter (Sigma-D) relation. It is concluded that the wide range of intrinsic properties of Galactic remnants with known distances, together with the observational selection effects, means that use of the Sigma-D relation to derive diameters and hence distances for individual SNRs, or for statistical studies, is highly uncertain. The observed distribution of bright SNRs, which are thought to be largely free from selection effects, is also used to derive a simple model for the distribution of SNRs with Galactocentric radius.

description: This study provides a different perspective in revisiting the racial and gender discrimination issue regarding FSA loans. The Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition method, commonly used in wage discrimination analysis, is employed to determine whether there exist unwarranted differences between the loan amounts approved among racial and gender classes. The findings of this study are inconclusive. As with previous studies, no clear and convincing evidence was found to signal racial or gender discrimination with respect to approved loan amounts to farmer borrowers.

description: The electronic structure of the high-T_c superconductor Tl2Ba2CuO6+d is studied by ARPES. For a very overdoped Tc=30K sample, the Fermi surface consists of a single large hole pocket centered at (pi,pi) and is approaching a topological transition. Although a superconducting gap with d_x^2-y^2 symmetry is tentatively identified, the quasiparticle evolution with momentum and binding energy exhibits a marked departure from the behavior observed in under and optimally doped cuprates. The relevance of these findings to scattering, many-body, and quantum-critical phenomena is discussed.
