description: Collisions between large, similar-sized bodies are believed to shape the final characteristics and composition of terrestrial planets. Their inventories of volatiles such as water, are either delivered or at least significantly modified by such events. Besides the transition from accretion to erosion with increasing impact velocity, similar-sized collisions can also result in hit-and-run outcomes for sufficiently oblique impact angles and large enough projectile-to-target mass ratios. We study volatile transfer and loss focusing on hit-and-run encounters by means of Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics simulations, including all main parameters: impact velocity, impact angle, mass ratio, and also the total colliding mass. We find a broad range of overall water losses, up to 75% in the most energetic hit-and-run events, and confirm the much more severe consequences for the smaller body also for stripping of volatile layers. Transfer of water between projectile and target inventories is found to be mostly rather inefficient, and final water contents are dominated by pre-collision inventories reduced by impact losses, for similar pre-collision water mass fractions. Comparison with our numerical results shows that current collision outcome models are not accurate enough to reliably predict these composition changes in hit-and-run events. To also account for non-mechanical losses we estimate the amount of collisionally vaporized water over a broad range of masses, and find that these contributions are particularly important in collisions of ~Mars-sized bodies, with sufficiently high impact energies, but still relatively low gravity. Our results clearly indicate that the cumulative effect of several (hit-and-run) collisions can efficiently strip protoplanets of their volatile layers, especially the smaller body, as it might be common e.g. for Earth-mass planets in systems with Super-Earths.

description: Nearly all programs of architecture focus on structures as independent coursework, rather than on integrating pedagogy (i.e. how to teach structures in studio). To fill this gap, an innovative freshman workshop was developed in this study with a student-centered active learning approach to teach structures. In the present study, this approach combines three types of active learning activities: think-pair-build; in-class, all comrades’ shared discussions and review; and articulated student development reflections. The primary vehicle used for discovery is the Workshop Method. By focusing primarily on student’s own creative genre (small group designs), the class responds to what is brought into the one period focus. Workshops are devoted to critiquing work, to generating new work through guided exercises and assignments, and to incorporating a combination of both approaches for instilling intellectual habits. This approach implemented and assessed in three workshops in a freshman studio (three semesters) at the Division of Architecture, University of Oklahoma by architectural and structural faculty and their graduate assistants. The results show that this method was a fairly successful structures introduction into architectural form, not previously considered. Specifically, in pre-structure workshop survey, student observations on structural components not reflected. Later, in post-structure workshop surveys, much is retained from structural information from the two workshops. Then, by faculty observation, in final end-of-the-year studio reviews, studio projects demonstrated structure patterns in comparison to previous years’ form-only outcomes. It is assumed that the structural activities in studio provided the students with added reinforcement in understanding how structural components work in design. From this first trial run, results prove integrating workshops and active-student learning techniques early influence students’ knowledge and understanding of structures. Further research currently conducted to follow these freshmen students through their second-year matriculation in the program. The study will examine if these same architecture students: (1) retain and use structures in their designs long before they actually take traditional structure curriculum coursework in their third year; and (2), if structural components appear in their work. This study implies that the most effective method for students to learn how to develop an integral structural process in their work (pattern and strategy) is learning by doing in freshman studio.
Is it really possible to grow isotropic on-lattice diffusion-limited aggregates?

description: In a recent paper (Bogoyavlenskiy V A 2002 \JPA \textbf{35} 2533), an algorithm aiming to generate isotropic clusters of the on-lattice diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) model was proposed. The procedure consists of aggregation probabilities proportional to the squared number of occupied sites ($k^2$). In the present work, we analyzed this algorithm using the noise reduced version of the DLA model and large scale simulations. In the noiseless limit, instead of isotropic patterns, a $45^\circ$ ($30^\circ$) rotation in the anisotropy directions of the clusters grown on square (triangular) lattices was observed. A generalized algorithm, in which the aggregation probability is proportional to $k^ν$, was proposed. The exponent $ν$ has a nonuniversal critical value $ν_c$, for which the patterns generated in the noiseless limit exhibit the original (axial) anisotropy for $νν_c$. The values $ν_c = 1.395\pm0.005$ and $ν_c = 0.82\pm 0.01$ were found for square and triangular lattices, respectively. Moreover, large scale simulations show that there are a nontrivial relation between noise reduction and anisotropy direction. The case $ν=2$ (\bogo's rule) is an example where the patterns exhibit the axial anisotropy for small and the diagonal one for large noise reduction.

description: We confirm that a high rate of shear at the center is able to stabilize an entire stellar disk against bar-forming (m=2) modes, irrespective of the dark halo density. Our simulations of unstable power-law disks also yield the growth rate and pattern speed of the dominant lop-sided (m=1) mode in close agreement with that predicted by linear theory in our cleanest case. The one-armed modes, which dominate models with extensive disks, can be controlled by tapering the outer disk. Two-armed instabilities of hard-centered disks are more difficult to identify because they are easily overwhelmed by particle noise. Nevertheless, we have detected the predicted m=2 modes in simulations with very large numbers of particles. Such bisymmetric instabilities in these disks are provoked only by sharp edges and are therefore easily eliminated. We have constructed a cool disk model with an almost flat rotation curve and a quasi-exponential density profile that is unambiguously stable. The halo in this stable model has a large core radius, with the disk and bulge providing almost all the rotational support in the inner parts.

description: The spontaneous breakdown of SO(10) symmetry of the IIB matrix model has been studied by using the improved mean field approximation (IMFA). In this report, the eighth-order contribution to the improved perturbative series is obtained, which involves evaluation of 20410 planar two-particle irreducible vacuum diagrams. We consider SO(d)-preserving configurations as ansatz (d=4,7). The development of plateau, the solution of self-consistency condition, is seen in both ansatz. The large ratio of the space-time extent of d-dimensional part against the remaining (10-d)-dimensional part is obtained for SO(4) ansatz evaluated at the representative points of the plateau. It would be interpreted as the emergence of four-dimensional space-time in the IIB matrix model.

description: Illicit drug use is clearly an important health problem. There are some 600,000 emergency department episodes in the US every year that are related to illicit drugs (SAMHSA, 2002a). National mortality estimates are not available, but there are probably on the order of 20,000 drug-induced deaths a year (SAMHSA, 2002b), with many more indirectly related to drug use. Some 5 million Americans are in need of drug treatment, and less than 40% get it (Epstein and Gfroerer, 1998; Woodward et al., 1997). Injection drug use is a leading cause of the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C (CDCP, 2001). The social costs of illicit drug use approach those of alcohol and tobacco (Rice et al., 1990; Bartlett et al., 1994; Harwood et al., 1998). No one has estimated how many quality adjusted life years are lost due to illicit drug use, but the number is no doubt substantial, particularly since those who die from illicit drug use are younger than those who die from most other causes. Not surprisingly there is an energetic debate concerning how best to control drug use and related consequences, to which Operations Research/Management Science has made important contributions. Nevertheless, drug policy is unlike other health policy domains in important ways, and this article begins with a review of some important differences. The following sections then highlight key insights quantitative models have generated concerning the relative effectiveness of different interventions, including how that effectiveness varies over the course of a drug epidemic.

title: La construcción de una nueva estética conservadora en La gaviota (1849) de Fernán Caballero
Creators: name: Lorenzo-Arza, Mikel
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2023

description: Este artículo analiza cómo La gaviota (1849) presenta elementos de lo que Antoine Compagnon define como espíritu antimoderno y que aflora en “los que avanzan mirando el retrovisor” a la manera de una conciencia que sobreviene contra la voluntad individual a medida que el tiempo histórico avanza (24). Si el carlismo aspira a una restauración total del Antiguo Régimen (derecha reaccionaria/derecha radical) e incluso tiende a la violencia cuando la coyuntura histórica lo permite, el conservadurismo de Fernán Caballero comparte la antimodernidad de la derecha más radical, pero asume la contemporaneidad del liberalismo como un mal de su tiempo. Para Caballero, el espíritu moderno redacta constituciones y otorga derechos, pero también subvierte el sentido originario de la política tal y como había sugerido Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821): “El hombre puede sin duda plantar una semilla [. . .] pero nunca ha pensado que podría hacer un árbol” (“Considérations sur la France” 143). El hecho de que solo Dios pueda crear un árbol otorga al pensamiento contrarrevolucionario una raíz divina que le libera de cualquier antagonismo con la modernidad revolucionaria y le permite definirse como una superación de esta y con un proyecto propio. Nuestra escritora participa de esta idea de lo contrarrevolucionario como lo contrario de la revolución cuando sanciona el libertinaje de María Santaló (la gaviota) en su deriva vital. Su comportamiento desafía lo que Maistre califica como la meta política: la esencia metafísica y teológica de la política (Essai 35).

The half-life of $^{116}$Cd relatively to the 2$ν$2$β$ decay of $^{116}$Cd to the ground level of $^{116}$Sn is measured with the highest up-to-date accuracy as $T_{1/2}$ = [2.69 $\pm$ 0.02 (stat.) $\pm$ 0.14 (syst.)] $\times$ 10$^{19}$ yr. A new improved limit on the 0$ν$2$β$ decay of $^{116}$Cd to the ground state of $^{116}$Sn is set as $T_{1/2}\geq 2.4 \times 10^{23}$ yr at 90\% C.L., that corresponds to the effective Majorana neutrino mass limit in the range $\langle$$m_ν$$\rangle$ $\le$ $(1.1-1.6)$ eV, depending on the nuclear matrix elements used in the estimations. New improved limits on other $2β$ processes in $^{116}$Cd (decays with majoron emission, transitions to excited levels of $^{116}$Sn) were set at the level of $T_{1/2}\geq 10^{21}-10^{22}$ yr.

description: In this work, we show that the dissipation in a many-body system under an arbitrary non-equilibrium process is related to the Rényi divergences between two states along the forward and reversed dynamics under very general family of initial conditions. This relation generalizes the links between dissipated work and Renyi divergences to quantum systems with conserved quantities whose equilibrium state is described by the generalized Gibbs ensemble. The relation is applicable for quantum systems with conserved quantities and can be applied to protocols driving the system between integrable and chaotic regimes. We demonstrate our ideas by considering the one-dimensional transverse quantum Ising model which is driven out of equilibrium by the instantaneous switching of the transverse magnetic field.

description: Cuando examinamos el corpus que inicia la literatura del terror en el siglo XIX en Puerto Rico, salta a la vista el especial protagonismo de los espectros femeninos en las narraciones breves. Si bien la tradición del cuento de terror en la literatura puertorriqueña se ha explorado en el estudio de Cristina Bravo Rozas La narrativa del miedo: Terror y horror en el cuento de Puerto Rico (2013) y en el más reciente estudio, El gótico transmigrado: Narrativa puertorriqueña de horror, misterio y terror en el siglo XXI (2021) de Sandra M. Casanova Vizcaíno, todavía no encontramos una mirada que se detenga en las figuras femeninas que devienen en espectros en los relatos que inauguran la tradición literaria puertorriqueña de mediados del siglo XIX. Este trabajo se centrará en observar de cerca estas figuras fantasmales en un cuerpo de relatos que tiene en común el que la figura femenina regresa de la muerte incorpórea para acercarse a los vivos que desea, mientras revela, súbitamente, sus rasgos escatológicos. Estudiaremos la configuración de la fantasma en conjunto con la tradición de espectros femeninos que enmarca el periodo romántico y finisecular. Para adentrarnos en los matices de la mujer fantasma que podemos apreciar en estos textos, comenzaremos a explorar las apariciones femeninas en la obra de Alejandro Tapia, autor que tomaré como punto de partida en esta investigación, pues su uso del tropo decimonónico de la figura fantasmal para adelantar sus causas progresistas es singular. Luego observaremos de cerca diversos espectros en relatos de Ramón Emeterio Betances, Salvador Brau y Manuel Corchado y Juarbe, entre otros autores. Analizaremos de qué formas se acercan o se distancian de las ideas y la estética de Tapia.

description: We analyze the simplest problem of electrochemical relaxation in more than one dimension - the response of an uncharged, ideally polarizable metallic sphere (or cylinder) in a symmetric, binary electrolyte to a uniform electric field. In order to go beyond the circuit approximation for thin double layers, our analysis is based on the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations of dilute solution theory. Unlike most previous studies, however, we focus on the nonlinear regime, where the applied voltage across the conductor is larger than the thermal voltage. In such strong electric fields, the classical model predicts that the double layer adsorbs enough ions to produce bulk concentration gradients and surface conduction. Our analysis begins with a general derivation of surface conservation laws in the thin double-layer limit, which provide effective boundary conditions on the quasi-neutral bulk. We solve the resulting nonlinear partial differential equations numerically for strong fields and also perform a time-dependent asymptotic analysis for weaker fields, where bulk diffusion and surface conduction arise as first-order corrections. We also derive various dimensionless parameters comparing surface to bulk transport processes, which generalize the Bikerman-Dukhin number. Our results have basic relevance for double-layer charging dynamics and nonlinear electrokinetics in the ubiquitous PNP approximation.

description: Drug policy research is the application of policy analysis in the substance abuse domain with a level of rigor that merits publication in academic journals on the grounds that the methods and/or results can provide foundational insights upon which subsequent analyses might draw. Policy analysis in turn is an interdisciplinary field that strives to objectively and empirically understand the consequences of different public policy interventions, including both retrospective evaluation of past interventions and prospective projections of contemplated interventions. It is useful to distinguish three types of policy analysis: 1)Analysis of net effects on society as a whole (a "social planner’s perspective"), 2)Distributive analysis of effects on each significant group of stakeholders, and 3)Political analysis of what convergence of forces can push through a piece of legislation or other policy change.

description: As part of an accredited architectural curriculum, students participate in a series of courses that introduce concepts of statics, structural principles, and methods of system analysis. As many students frequently become enamored with initial form generating procedures as an approach to architectural design, they regrettably consider the lessons presented within the sequence of structural courses as ancillary consequences to form making processes and disconnected from their concurrent design studio explorations. These assumptions lead to students over-emphasizing the appearance of an architectural act, as opposed to placing value on how architecture performs, offers spatial organization, and engages the site and its users. This paper challenges these aforementioned perceptions by introducing a pedagogical approach focused on investigating and embracing the performance of structural assemblies as an inspiration for architectural design within these supporting structural courses. A series of physical explorations were presented to students as an opportunity to expand upon their understanding of the lessons, simultaneously being covered in class, related to the behavior of forces and the capabilities of structural systems to transfer and withstand various loading scenarios. These hand-on exercises asked the students to design and fabricate physical models to be tested under various performance criteria and challenged the students to consider ways in which structural behaviors and architectural design might inform one another. The students were assessed on their ability to innovate, test, reconsider, and summarize their predictions and findings for how their designed systems behaved internally and responded to applied external influences. Along each of the phases for these projects, students were asked to embrace failure as an integral part of the iterative design phase, persuading students to primarily focus on designing performance-orientated solutions and concentrate on studying how the actions of constituent parts systematically contributed to the performance of its composite assembly.

description: Galaxy clusters at high redshift present a superb opportunity to study galaxy evolution, with large galaxy samples at fixed distances. Several lines of evidence point towards large formation redshifts and passive evolution for cluster ellipticals. At redshifts larger than z~0.8, this picture rests on data from only a handful of rich clusters. We have observed four potential clusters to sample sparser environments in a critical redshift range, 0.8 < z < 1.2. We compare the photometric evolution and radial density profiles in our clusters with more massive clusters studied in a similar manner. We also highlight the overdense ERO (I-K>5) population, significantly redder than the old elliptical population at the cluster redshift. We discuss the implications of our clusters at high redshift, and possible differences in environment from richer clusters at similar redshifts selected through X-ray or optical techniques.

description: The effects of dissipation on the space time evolution of matter formed in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collision is discussed. The thermal photon spectra for RHIC and LHC energies with viscous flow is considered. The effects of viscosity in the thermal single photon spectra is seen to be important in QGP phase as compared to the hadronic phase. Recently available data from WA80 group at SPS energies for $S+Au$ collision are compared with theoretical calculations. The experimental data do not appear to be compatible with the formation of matter in the pure hadronic phase.

description: We study the stability of deterministic systems given sequences of large, jump-like perturbations. Our main result is to dervie a lower bound for the probability of the system to remain in the basin, given that perturbations are rare enough. This bound is efficient to evaluate numerically. To quantify rare enough, we define the notion of the independence time of such a system. This is the time after which a perturbed state has probably returned close to the attractor, meaning that subsequent perturbations can be considered separately. The effect of jump-like perturbations that occur at least the independence time apart is thus well described by a fixed probability to exit the basin at each jump, allowing us to obtain the bound. To determine the independence time, we introduce the concept of finite-time basin stability, which corresponds to the probability that a perturbed trajectory returns to an attractor within a given time. The independence time can then be determined as the time scale at which the finite-time basin stability reaches its asymptotic value. Besides that, finite-time basin stability is a novel probabilistic stability measure on its own, with potential broad applications in complex systems.

description: Almost 20 % of the ~ 200 different species detected in the interstellar and circumstellar media present a carbon atom linked to nitrogen by a triple bond. Of these 37 molecules, 30 are nitrile R-CN compounds, the remaining 7 belonging to the isonitrile R-NC family. How these species behave in their interactions with the grain surfaces is still an open question. In a previous work, we have investigated whether the difference between nitrile and isonitrile functional groups may induce differences in the adsorption energies of the related isomers at the surfaces of interstellar grains of various nature and morphologies. This study is a follow up of this work, where we focus on the adsorption on carbonaceous aromatic surfaces. The question is addressed by means of a concerted experimental and theoretical approach of the adsorption energies of CH$_3$CN and CH$_3$NC on the surface of graphite (with and without surface defects). The experimental determination of the molecule and surface interaction energies is carried out using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) between 70 and 160 K. Theoretically, the question is addressed using first-principle periodic density functional theory (DFT) to represent the organised solid support. The adsorption energy of each compound is found to be very sensitive to the structural defects of the aromatic carbonaceous surface: these defects, expected to be present in a large numbers and great diversity on a realistic surface, significantly increase the average adsorption energies to more than 50\% as compared to adsorption on perfect graphene planes. The most stable isomer (CH$_3$CN) interacts more efficiently with the carbonaceous solid support than the higher energy isomer (CH$_3$NC), however.

Doing the Time Causes the Crime? An Examination of the Dose-Response Relationship Between Time Served & Future Criminal Offending

description: This paper uses a large cohort of Dutch felony offenders to causally model the effect of time served on future criminal offending. To address the selection issues inherent in this sort of examination, we combine developmental trajectory analysis (Nagin, 2005) with a generalization of the propensity score introduced by Joffe and Rosenbaum (1999) and extended by Lu et al. (2001). Results indicate that, on average, offenders serving shorter periods of confinement are subsequently sentenced to fewer days of incarceration than comparable offenders serving longer sentences. However, on the whole, we find only weak evidence of a dose-response relationship between time served and future offending.

description: Using combined magnetometry and ferromagnetic resonance studies, it is shown that introduction of a hydrocarbon cover layer leads to an increase of the contribution of the surface anisotropy to the effective magnetic anisotropy energy of hexagonal close-packed 0001 cobalt films, largely enhancing the perpendicular anisotropy. Due to a weak electronic interaction of the organic molecules with the Co atoms, an increase of surface anisotropy could be explained by the presence of an electric field at the organic-material/Co interface and by modification of surface atoms charge configuration.

description: The one- and two-orbital double-exchange models for manganites are studied using Monte Carlo computational techniques in the presence of a robust electron-phonon coupling (but neglecting the antiferromagnetic exchange $J_{\rm AF}$ between the localized spins). The focus in this effort is on the analysis of charge transport. Our results for the one-orbital case confirm and extend previous recent investigations that showed the presence of robust peaks in the resistivity vs. temperature curves for this model. Quenched disorder substantially enhances the magnitude of the effect, while magnetic fields drastically reduce the resistivity. A simple picture for the origin of these results is presented. It is also shown that even for the case of just one electron, the resistance curves present metallic and insulating regions by varying the temperature, as it occurs at finite electronic density. Moreover, in the present study these investigations are extended to the more realistic two-orbital model for manganites. The transport results for this model show large peaks in the resistivity vs. temperature curves, located at approximately the Curie temperature, and with associated large magnetoresistance factors. Overall, the magnitude and shape of the effects discussed here closely resemble experiments for materials such as $\rm La_{0.70} Ca_{0.30} Mn O_{3}$, and they are in qualitative agreement with the current predominant theoretical view that competition between a metal and an insulator, enhanced by quenched disorder, is crucial to understand the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) phenomenon.

description: An exactly solvable model suitable for the description of single and double-beta decay processes of the Fermi-type is introduced. The model is equivalent to the exact shell-model treatment of protons and neutrons in a single j-shell. Exact eigenvalues and eigenvectors are compared to those corresponding to the hamiltonian in the quasiparticle basis (qp) and with the results of both the standard quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) and the renormalized one (RQRPA). The role of the scattering term of the quasiparticle hamiltonian is analyzed. The presence of an exact eigenstate with zero energy is shown to be related to the collapse of the QRPA. The RQRPA and the qp solutions do not include this zero-energy eigenvalue in their spectra, probably due to spurious correlations. The meaning of this result in terms of symmetries is presented.
