description: We show that atomic Fermi gases in quasi2D geometries are promising for achieving superfluidity. In the regime of BCS pairing for weak attraction, we calculate the critical temperature T_c and analyze possibilities of increasing the ratio of T_c to the Fermi energy. In the opposite limit, where a strong coupling leads to the formation of weakly bound quasi2D dimers, we find that their Bose-Einstein condensate will be stable on a long time scale.

description: The role of repayable sources in financing local governments’ expenditure in rural areas in Poland was examined. The analyses showed that during years 2005-2009 the expenditure of local governments in rural areas was rising. An especially high increase was observed in 2009. The shares of the investment expenditure in total expenditure were at 20% for 2005-2008 but in 2009 it rose noticeably. The local governments use credits, loans and municipal bonds for financing expenditure. Except for 2009, the ‘new’ credits and loans financed mainly repayment of ‘old credits’, only in 2009 less than 50% of ‘new credits’ value was used for repaying old debts. The debt of local governments in rural areas rose quickly but in examined years the payments of interest were not a problem and took less than 1% of budget incomes. In the future, it can change because of the expected increase of debts and, moreover, the interest rates could rise noticeably.

description: Although typical in children between the ages of 18 months and 4 years, temper tantrums can be predictive of maladaptive outcomes, particularly if they continue into later ages. Parental self-efficacy (PSE) has emerged as a powerful mediator of children temperament and a predictor of specific positive parenting practices. This study aimed to determine the correlation between PSE and temper tantrum frequency in children aged 2-5 years. This study was a correlational research. Ninety-six parents of children aged 2-5 years participated in this study. The Self-efficacy for Parenting Task Index-Toddler Scale and Multidimensional Assessment of Preschool Behaviour Problem were used to assess the study variables. The data was analysed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. The statistical test results showed a significant correlation between parental self-efficacy and temper tantrum frequency (p-value = 0.000; r = -0.669). The majority of respondents had a moderate level of PSE, and most of the children had low temper tantrum frequency that was mostly expressed with screaming, stamping feet and holding breath. It can be concluded that there was a correlation between PSE and temper tantrum frequency in children aged 2-5 years in a negative direction, which means the higher the PSE, the lower the temper tantrum frequency.

description: We propose a finite-temperature phase diagram for the 2D spin-$1/2$ $J_1-J_2$ $XXZ$ antiferromagnet on the triangular lattice. Our analysis, based on a composite fermion representation, yields several phases. This includes a zero-temperature helical spin liquid with $N=6$ {\it anisotropic} Dirac cones, and with nonzero vector chirality implying a broken $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. It is terminated at $T=0$ by a continuous quantum phase transition to $120^\circ$ ordered state around $J_2/J_1\approx0.089$ in the XX limit; these phases share a double degeneracy, which persists to finite $T$ above the helical spin liquid. By contrast, at $J_2/J_1 \simeq 0.116$, the transition into a stripe phase appears as first order. We further discuss experimental and numerical consequences of the helical order and the anisotropic nature of the Dirac dispersion.

description: We present the astrophysical science case for a space-based, decihertz gravitational-wave (GW) detector. We particularly highlight an ability to infer a source's sky location, both when combined with a network of ground-based detectors to form a long triangulation baseline, and by itself for the early warning of merger events. Such an accurate location measurement is the key for using GW signals as standard sirens for constraining the Hubble constant. This kind of detector also opens up the possibility to test type Ia supernovae progenitor hypotheses by constraining the merger rates of white dwarf binaries with both super- and sub-Chandrasekhar masses separately. We will discuss other scientific outcomes that can be delivered, including the constraint of structure formation in the early Universe, the search for intermediate-mass black holes, the precise determination of black hole spins, the probe of binary systems' orbital eccentricity evolution, and the detection of tertiary masses around merging binaries.

description: We report the discovery of a pulsar with period P = 136 ms and dispersion measure 308 pc/cc in a deep observation of the supernova remnant (SNR) G54.1+0.3 with the Arecibo radio telescope. Timing measurements of the new pulsar, J1930+1852, reveal a characteristic age of Pdt/2dP = 2900 yr and spin-down luminosity dE/dt = 1.2e37 erg/s. We have subsequently searched archival ASCA X-ray data of this SNR, and detect pulsations with a consistent period. These findings ensure that PSR J1930+1852 is the pulsar that powers the "Crab-like" SNR G54.1+.3. Together with existing Chandra observations of the SNR, we derive an X-ray pulsed fraction (2-10 keV) of ~27%. We also find that the cooling efficiency of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) is intermediate between those of the Vela and Crab PWNe: Lx (2-10 keV) ~0.002 dE/dt. PSR J1930+1852 is a very weak radio source, with period-averaged flux density at 1180 MHz of 60 microJy. For a distance of 5 kpc, its luminosity, ~1 mJy kpc^2, is among the lowest for known young pulsars.

The Metaphysics of Light in the Hexaemeral Literature: From Philo of Alexandria to Ambrose of Milan

description: This study investigates the concept of light in the early Jewish-Christian exegesis of the biblical creation narrative (Gen. 1, so-called ‘hexaemeron’). The study argues that the early hexaemeral exegetes theorised light from a dual perspective, both physical and metaphysical. The physical exegesis explained how light emerges as the natural capacity or power of the first material element of the world: fire. The metaphysical exegesis aimed to capture that light is the first immanent form of creation. The argument evolves in three stages. The first chapter discusses contemporary objections to the possibility of an investigation into the nature of light in ancient sources. It argues for the coherence of an ancient ‘physics of light,’ properly speaking, that was also used by hexaemeral authors in the course of their scriptural exegesis. The second chapter addresses modern and ancient objections to the justifiability of a scientific reading of Scripture. It aims to show that in the eyes of early Christian exegetes the rational enquiry into the physicality of light was indispensable for a proper understanding of the skopos (intended meaning) of the biblical creation narrative. Once the historiographical and hermeneutical objections have been removed, the study proceeds with the investigation of the nature of hexaemeral light itself. The third chapter proposes a systematic reconstruction of the hexaemeral theory of light, as it would appear at the end of the fourth century, taking into account its historical development from Philo to Ambrose, with Origen, Basil and Nyssen as the main protagonists. It shows that, from a premodern perspective, the rational account of the nature of light leads through the study of the physical properties to the grasp of the logos or intelligible cause of light. The three chapters build gradually towards the insight that the logos of light is the first manifestation of the logos of God in creation. The study offers a performative argument that, in the eyes of early hexaemeral exegetes, the metaphysics of creation is inherently incarnational: the contemplation of the light of the world reveals Christ as the creative logos of God at work. In this way, the study points towards a Christological answer to the much-debated question whether the talk of God as light (socalled ‘metaphysics of light’) is literal, metaphorical or anagogical. It thus provides the necessary background to deciphering the precise meaning of the Nicene formula ‘light from light.’

description: In this dissertation, I present a new framework for conceptualizing the digital landscape inspired by the field of public health. I call this framework Public Cyberhealth. This framework is an alternative to the dominant cybersecurity paradigm, which frames cyberspace as a digital battleground. I argue that the philosophy of public health can be useful for thinking about the normative justification for—and ethical limits on—government intervention in cyberspace, while public health policy and institutions can serve as examples of how to manifest these higher principles (e.g. the WHO, ethical review boards). This Public Cyberhealth framework takes seriously non-malicious threats to network robustness and resilience (e.g. human error, buggy code, natural disasters), highlights the impact of network threats and interventions on health and wellbeing, and is more thoughtful about protecting individual rights compared to the dominant cybersecurity lens typically used by policymakers and IT professionals. In addition to defining this alternative framework, I demonstrate how it may be used in three contexts. First, I explore how thinking about the digital landscape like a public health expert can help one to understand the role public goods play in maintaining robust digital networks. Second, I explore how this framework can help one to create polices which adequately account for how digital technologies impact health. And third, I define a theory of “informational wellbeing,” which seeks to capture the myriad of ways in which digital information and its use, control, accuracy, and accessibility impact personal wellbeing. The Public Cyberhealth framework is not only a useful and coherent way of thinking about technology policy, but also reveals interesting and surprising things about the nature of health, wellbeing, and identity in the digital age.

description: Gauge magnetic fields have a close relation to breaking time-reversal symmetry in condensed matter. In the present of the gauge fields, we might observe nonreciprocal and topological transport. Inspired by these, there is a growing effort to realize exotic transport phenomena in optical and acoustic systems. However, due to charge neutrality, realizing analog magnetic flux for phonons in nanoscale systems is still challenging in both theoretical and experimental studies. Here we propose a novel mechanism to generate synthetic magnetic field for phonon lattice by Floquet engineering auxiliary qubits. We find that, a longitudinal Floquet drive on the qubit will produce a resonant coupling between two detuned acoustic cavities. Specially, the phase encoded into the longitudinal drive can exactly be transformed into the phonon-phonon hopping. Our proposal is general and can be realized in various types of artificial hybrid quantum systems. Moreover, by taking surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) cavities for example, we propose how to generate synthetic magnetic flux for phonon transport. In the present of synthetic magnetic flux, the time-reversal symmetry will be broken, which allows to realize the circulator transport and analog Aharonov-Bohm effects for acoustic waves. Last, we demonstrate that our proposal can be scaled to simulate topological states of matter in quantum acoustodynamics system.

description: World population is expected to increase by 40 percent by the year 2000. The rate of expans10n of new cropland is slowmg down. Increased food requirements must therefore be met primanly through application of new technology and protection of cropland from the ravages of erosion and other forms of deterioration. The USA has recently completed 50 years of expenence with ma Jar programmes to control erosion. The history of the establishment and evolution of those programmes within a changing pohtical environment is briefly revtewed. The 1111hal programmes were implemented mall areas of the USA. However, recent surveys have md1cated that harmful rates of erosion are lm11ted to approximately20 percent of the cropland. Some progress has been made at targeting control efforts to areas of high on-farm erosion rates.

Apart from simple cases (low dimensions, few particles, pure states), however, the mathematical structure of entanglement is not yet fully understood. This tutorial is an introduction to our present knowledge about how to decide whether a given state is separable or entangled, how to characterize entanglement via witness operators, how to classify entangled states according to their usefulness (i.e. distillability), and how to quantify entanglement with appropriate measures.

description: We study the energy and entanglement dynamics of $(1+1)$D conformal field theories (CFTs) under a Floquet drive with the sine-square deformed (SSD) Hamiltonian. Previous work has shown this model supports both a non-heating and a heating phase. Here we analytically establish several robust and `super-universal' features of the heating phase which rely on conformal invariance but not on the details of the CFT involved. First, we show the energy density is concentrated in two peaks in real space, a chiral and anti-chiral peak, which leads to an exponential growth in the total energy. The peak locations are set by fixed points of the Möbius transformation. Second, all of the quantum entanglement is shared between these two peaks. In each driving period, a number of Bell pairs are generated, with one member pumped to the chiral peak, and the other member pumped to the anti-chiral peak. These Bell pairs are localized and accumulate at these two peaks, and can serve as a source of quantum entanglement. Third, in both the heating and non-heating phases we find that the total energy is related to the half system entanglement entropy by a simple relation $E(t)\propto c \exp \left( \frac{6}{c}S(t) \right)$ with $c$ being the central charge. In addition, we show that the non-heating phase, in which the energy and entanglement oscillate in time, is unstable to small fluctuations of the driving frequency in contrast to the heating phase. Finally, we point out an analogy to the periodically driven harmonic oscillator which allows us to understand global features of the phases, and introduce a quasiparticle picture to explain the spatial structure, which can be generalized to setups beyond the SSD construction.

description: The conductance of a single-atom contact is sensitive to the coupling of this contact atom to the atoms in the leads. Notably for the transition metals this gives rise to a considerable spread in the observed conductance values. The mean conductance value and spread can be obtained from the first peak in conductance histograms recorded from a large set of contact-breaking cycles. In contrast to the monovalent metals, this mean value for Pt depends strongly on the applied voltage bias and other experimental conditions, ranging from about 1 to 2.5 times 2e^2/h. We propose that the different results in part can be explained by the inclusion of hydrogen in the contacts. The bias dependence of the conductance is on the other hand due to the electron current that destabilizes monatomic Pt chains at high bias.

 Type species: Chaetobranchus sanguineus Verrill, 1873; by monotypy.
 Diagnosis: Tentacular membrane wide, undulating; eyespots and lateral lappets absent; two longitudinal muscular ventral ridges of glandular shields separated by few small, well-definded, square, ventral, non-glandular shields; notopodia from segment 2; anterior thoracic notopodia with simple cirrus; middle and posterior thoracic notopodia cirriform and vascularized, with increasing number of cirri gradually to 7, until posterior thorax; abdominal notopodia with simple cirrus; notochaetae pinnate (cones overlapped); abdominal notopodia simple; thoracic and abdominal neurochaeta absent.
 Remarks: There is only one species described in the genus, Enoplobranchus sanguineus (Verrill, 1873), from Connecticut USA. Thus, the present report expands the distribution of the species to include the upper Gulf of Mexico and southeastern Mexican localities. Holthe (1986b) indicated “ Enoplobranchus Webster, 1879 ” but Webster (1879) cited Enoplobranchus Verrill since Verrill (1879) proposed it as a replacement name for Chaetobranchus Verrill, 1873, as it was preoccupied by a fish genus, Chaetobranchus Haeckel (Hartman, 1942). Thus, the checklist presented by Verrill (1879) is regarded as a formal publication, and his name must be considered the authority of the genus.

Tlus paper revtews the 1973-82 record of six important oil exportmg countnes-Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, and Venezuela-among which agricultural performance differed markedly Average annual growth in production per capita was zero or negative in Algeria, Iran, and Nigeria, modestly positive in Mexico (which reversed an earlier trend of declinmg food production) and Venezuela, and unprecedentedly high in Indonesia. Macroeconomic management was less important m determining agncultural performance than the pattern of dtstnbution of public oil revenues through pricing and mvestment policies affectmg overall rural-urban terms of trade. Indonesia's macroeconomic management was quite good, Venezuela's indifferent, and Mexico's very poor. But Mexico and ( especiaIIy) Indonesia made smallholder-based agricultural development a national pnonty, with high levels of rural investment, trade protection, and broadly d1stnbuted mput subsidies. With few smallholders and no trade protection, agricultural growth in Venezuela depended on extraordinanly high subsidies to commerc1al agricultural producers. Algeria, Iran, and Nigena followed investment and pricing pollc1es sharply biased against mass agnculture, while attempting (without success) to meet rismg food demand with heavily subsidized, capital mtens1ve enclaves.

description: Recent ISO-data has allowed for the first time observationally based estimates for source confusion in mid-infrared surveys. We use the extragalactic source counts from ISOCAM in conjunction with K-band counts to predict the confusion due to galaxies in deep mid-IR observations. We specifically concentrate on the near-future Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) mission, and calculate expected confusion for the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) onboard SIRTF. A defining scientific goal of the IRAC instrument will be the study of high redshift galaxies using a deep, confusion limited wide field survey at 3-10 microns. A deep survey can reach 3 $μ$Jy sources with reasonable confidence in the shorter wavelength IRAC bands. Truly confusion limited images at 8 microns will be difficult to obtain due to practical time constraints, unless infrared galaxies exhibit very strong evolution beyond the deepest current observations. We find L^star galaxies to be detectable to z=3-3.5 at 8 microns, which is slightly more pessimistic than found by Simpson & Eisenhardt (1999).

Economic damage measures are essential for evaluating sahmty control programmes. Most damage estuuates are derived from controlled experiments, which may not be applicable to actual field conditions. Data from two JOtntly conducted farm suiveys---one dealing with farm inputs and production and the other with soll and waterchenustry-are analyzed with statistical regression techniques. Damage measures for three winter crops are developed. Whtie the dual suxvey method is expensive, the statistical analysis shows that less elaborate soil sampling procedures can proVIde sufficient information.

A particularly interesting case is the light pseudoscalar in Type-X two Higgs doublet model which can explain the anomalous magnetic moment of muon at large $\tanβ$. Considering ILC $Higgs$ $factory$ with $\sqrt{s}=250$ GeV, we show that the available parameter space can be fully examined by the (tau) Yukawa process at $5σ$. We also demonstrate the mass reconstruction of such a light particle which helps to sizably minimize the background events.

description: Many applications generate data with an intrinsic network structure such as time series data, image data or social network data. The network Lasso (nLasso) has been proposed recently as a method for joint clustering and optimization of machine learning models for networked data. The nLasso extends the Lasso from sparse linear models to clustered graph signals. This paper explores the duality of nLasso and network flow optimization. We show that, in a very precise sense, nLasso is equivalent to a minimum-cost flow problem on the data network structure. Our main technical result is a concise characterization of nLasso solutions via existence of certain network flows. The main conceptual result is a useful link between nLasso methods and basic graph algorithms such as clustering or maximum flow.

description: From the 17th century to recently, two independent states have been represented as superpowers (there were more powerful actors than two, such as Portugal, Spain, Great Britain, Germany and Japan for example, but there are meant states, which reached so far as superpowers) – the United States and the Russian Federation. In 1917, the October Revolution in Russia and the new ‘government’ got things worse between two states. The USA refused to recognize new republic. The United States, whose policy was based on liberal ideology and democracy, could not continue cooperation with new illegitimate authoritarian regime of Russia. The struggle which started on the basis of ideological differences, soon turned into the geopolitical tensions.

description: A framework based on an effective symmetry that is either G(224)= SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R xSU(4)^c or SO(10) has been proposed (a few years ago) that successfully describes the masses and mixings of all fermions including neutrinos, with seven predictions, in good accord with the data. Baryogenesis via leptogenesis is considered within this framework by allowing for natural phases (~ 1/20-1/2) in the entries of the Dirac and Majorana mass-matrices. It is shown that the framework leads quite naturally, for both thermal as well as non-thermal leptogenesis, to the desired magnitude for the baryon asymmetry. This result is obtained in full accord with the observed features of the atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations, as well as with those of the quark and charged lepton masses and mixings, and the gravitino-constraint. Hereby one obtains a unified description of fermion masses, neutrino oscillations and baryogenesis (via leptogenesis) within a single predictive framework.

description: In recent decades, some jurisdictions have demonstrated a willingness to hear private negligence claims that allege the direct liability of parent companies for human rights violations perpetrated by overseas subsidiaries (“Tort Liability Claims”). These cases form part of an international effort aimed at establishing public control over the private operations of transnational corporations (“TNCs”). Their success in addressing the challenges of cross-border business operations, however, depends on the rules governing domestic courts’ power to adjudicate disputes. One of the consequences of globalisation is that the territorial focus of the adjudicative jurisdiction is often contrary to the transnational nature of the TNCs’ activities. This thesis examines how English courts should approach the jurisdictional analysis in Tort Liability Claims brought against English-domiciled parent companies and their foreign subsidiaries as co-defendants. In doing so, it seeks to make three principal contributions to the existing literature. First, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the jurisdictional problems currently faced by English courts in addressing questions surrounding the tort liability of TNCs. Second, it articulates why the assertion of jurisdiction by English courts over arguable claims against parent companies and the subsidiaries of English-based TNCs has normative force. Finally, it proposes a new framework which outlines how the implementation of the ‘economic enterprise’ theory could reinforce the jurisdictional analysis in Tort Liability Claims by providing a new connecting factor that allows for the assertion of jurisdiction over English-domiciled parent companies and their foreign subsidiaries as co-defendants when they operate as a single economic enterprise.

 Type species: Lysilla loveni Malmgren, 1866, by monotypy.
 Diagnosis: Tentacular membrane expanded, trilobed, wide; eyespots and lateral lappets absent; small midventral shields; six to 12 thoracic segments; notopodia from segment 3, notochaetae smooth, hirsute or pinnate; abdominal notopodia and notochaetae absent; thoracic and abdominal neuropodia and neurochaeta absent.
 Remarks: Only one species has been described for the Western Atlantic Ocean, Lysilla alba Webster, 1879, from Virginia. Londoño-Mesa and Carrera-Parra (2005) reported an undescribed species, Lysilla sp. from the Mexican Caribbean; nevertheless, this species was not named because it was only one specimen in poor condition. Herein, I report an additional specimen in better condition; it is named as Lysilla caribe sp. nov. being the only species described from the Grand Caribbean region.

A Three Dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic Pulse in a Transversely Inhomogeneous Medium

description: Interaction of impulsively generated MHD waves with a one-dimensional plasma inhomogeneity, transverse to the magnetic field, is considered in the three-dimensional regime. Because of the transverse inhomogeneity, MHD fluctuations, even if they do not include initially any density perturbation, evolve toward states where the compressible components tend to become predominant. The propagating MHD pulse asymptotically reaches a quasi-steady state with the final levels of density perturbation weakly depending on the degree of non-planeness of the pulse in the homogeneous transverse direction and somewhat stronger depending on plasma beta. Our study demonstrates the necessity of incorporation of compressible and 3D effects in theory of Alfven wave phase mixing. However, as far as the dynamics of weakly non-plane Alfven waves is concerned it can still be qualitatively understood in terms of the previous 2.5D models.

Rational Morita equivalence for holomorphic Poisson modules

description: We introduce a weak concept of Morita equivalence, in the birational context, for Poisson modules on complex normal Poisson projective varieties. We show that Poisson modules, on projective varieties with mild singularities, are either rationally Morita equivalent to a flat partial holomorphic sheaf, or a sheaf with a meromorphic flat connection or a co-Higgs sheaf. As an application, we study the geometry of rank two meromorphic rank two $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-Poisson modules which can be interpreted as a Poisson analogous to transversally projective structures for codimension one holomorphic foliations. Moreover, we describe the geometry of the symplectic foliation induced by the Poisson connection on the projectivization of the Poisson module.

description: The evidence provided in this paper supports the view that the evaluation of the impacts of new technologies must be set in a general equilibrium framework if the results are to valid. The paper also provides support for the need to bring into such impact analyses the effects on imcome distribution, welfare, and nutrition. Such a quantitativea ssessment of impacts could be a useful input into the allocation of international agricultural research resources.

description: The ability to resolve multiple fluorescent emissions from different biological targets in video rate applications, such as endoscopy and intraoperative imaging, has traditionally been limited by the use of filter-based imaging systems. Hyper and multispectral imaging facilitate the detection of both spatial and spectral information in a single data acquisition, however, instrumentation for spatiospectral data acquisition is typically complex, bulky and expensive. This thesis seeks to overcome these limitations by using recently commercialised compact and robust hyper/multispectral cameras based on spectrally resolved detector arrays. Following sensor calibrations, which devoted particular attention to the angular sensitivity of the sensors, we integrated spectrally resolved detector arrays into a wide-field and an endoscopic imaging platform. This allowed multiplexed reflectance and fluorescence imaging with spectrally resolved detector array technology in vitro, in tissue mimicking phantoms, in an ex vivo oesophageal model and in vivo in a mouse model. A hyperspectral linescan sensor was first integrated in a wide-field near-infrared reflectance based imaging set-up to assess the suitability of spectrally resolved detector arrays for in vivo imaging of exogenous fluorescent contrast agents. Using this fluorescence hyperspectral imaging system, we could accurately resolve the presence and concentration of seven fluorescent dyes in solution. We also demonstrated high spectral unmixing precision, signal linearity with dye concentration, at depth in tissue mimicking phantoms, and delineation of four fluorescent dyes in vivo. After the successful demonstration of multiplexed fluorescence imaging in a wide-field set-up, we proceeded to combine near-infrared multiplexed fluorescence imaging with visible light spectral reflectance imaging in an endoscopic set-up. A multispectral endoscopic imaging system, capable of simultaneous reflectance and fluorescence imaging, was developed around two snapshot spectrally resolved detector arrays. In the process of system integration and characterisation, methods to characterise and predict the imaging performance of spectral endoscopes were developed. With the endoscope we demonstrated simultaneous imaging and spectral unmixing of chemically oxy/deoxygenated blood and three fluorescent dyes in a tissue mimicking phantom, and of two fluorescent dyes in an ex vivo oesophageal porcine model. With further developments, this technology has the potential to become applicable in medical imaging for detection of diseases such as gastrointestinal cancers.

description: Linear regression models are built on raw data which is supposed to have linear relation between predictors and target and no multicollinearity between predictors [1]. However, multicollinearity can be complete or partial and the second type of multicollinearity may be successfully utilized in Ridge regression algorithms to solve overfit problem.
