description: Galaxy evolution scenarios predict that the feedback of star formation and nuclear activity (AGN) can drive the transformation of gas-rich spiral mergers into ULIRGs, and, eventually, lead to the build-up of QSO/elliptical hosts. We study the role that star formation and AGN feedback have in launching and maintaining the molecular outflows in two starburst-dominated advanced mergers, NGC1614 and IRAS17208-0014, by analyzing the distribution and kinematics of their molecular gas reservoirs. We have used the PdBI array to image with high spatial resolution (0.5"-1.2") the CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) line emissions in NGC1614 and IRAS17208-0014, respectively. The velocity fields of the gas are analyzed and modeled to find the evidence of molecular outflows in these sources and characterize the mass, momentum and energy of these components. While most (>95%) of the CO emission stems from spatially-resolved (~2-3kpc-diameter) rotating disks, we also detect in both mergers the emission from high-velocity line wings that extend up to +-500-700km/s, well beyond the estimated virial range associated with rotation and turbulence. The kinematic major axis of the line wing emission is tilted by ~90deg in NGC1614 and by ~180deg in IRAS17208-0014 relative to their respective rotating disk major axes. These results can be explained by the existence of non-coplanar molecular outflows in both systems. In stark contrast with NGC1614, where star formation alone can drive its molecular outflow, the mass, energy and momentum budget requirements of the molecular outflow in IRAS17208-0014 can be best accounted for by the existence of a so far undetected (hidden) AGN of L_AGN~7x10^11 L_sun. The geometry of the molecular outflow in IRAS17208-0014 suggests that the outflow is launched by a non-coplanar disk that may be associated with a buried AGN in the western nucleus.

description: Phytoplankton in nitrogen-depleted coastal Atlantic waters off North Carolina, USA, had a positive response to nitrogen added as rain (DIN: NO3- and NH4+) or directly as NO3- or NH4+. Increases in primary production, photopigments, and cellular protein concentrations were observed when nitrogen Limitation was alleviated. NO3- concentrations decreased faster than those of NH4+ in 670 l mesocosm experiments, performed in October 1993 and March and April 1994. Stable nitrogen isotope measurements (delta(15)N) Of particulate N typically showed similar responses to the nitrogen additions. The delta(15)N decreased as the different DIN sources, having delta(15)N values near 0 parts per thousand, were incorporated into cell biomass. The smallest changes (about 1 parts per thousand) occurred in the Delta(15)N (delta(15)N(initial) - delta(15)N(final)) from nitrate additions. A greater shift of about 2 parts per thousand was observed with added DIN from rain, even though delta(15)N Of total DIN was similar. Ammonium additions resulted in the largest difference from the control, about 6 to 7 parts per thousand. This fractionation is indicative of isotopic fractionation during enzymatic incorporation and active transport of ammonium into the cells. In parallel incubations, C-14-bicarbonate was added along with rain in addition to all N additions and controls. Subcellular C-14-labeled fractions from these samples showed a short-term response to nitrogen additions and included an increase in the low molecular weight fraction after the first light incubation (from dawn to dusk). Carbon was allocated into protein after a 24 h period that encompassed the night incubation.

description: Social insects live in dense groups with a high probability of disease transmission and have therefore faced strong pressures to develop defences against pathogens. For this reason, social insects have been hypothesized to invest in antimicrobial secretions as a mechanism of external immunity to prevent the spread of disease. However, empirical studies linking the evolution of sociality with increased investment in antimicrobials have been relatively few. Here we quantify the strength of antimicrobial secretions among 20 ant species that cover a broad spectrum of ant diversity and colony sizes. We extracted external compounds from ant workers to test whether they inhibited the growth of the bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis. Because all ant species are highly social, we predicted that all species would exhibit some antimicrobial activity and that species that form the largest colonies would exhibit the strongest antimicrobial response. Our comparative approach revealed that strong surface antimicrobials are common to particular ant clades, but 40% of species exhibited no antimicrobial activity at all. We also found no correlation between antimicrobial activity and colony size. Rather than relying on antimicrobial secretions as external immunity to control pathogen spread, many ant species have likely developed alternative strategies to defend against disease pressure.

description: Bioassays indicate addition of hydrogen peroxide in concentrations similar to rain sometimes decreases chlorophyll a (chl a) production in surface Gulf Stream seawater. Bioassays were conducted on shipboard in the spring and autumn of 1993, 1994, and 1995, using surface Gulf Stream seawater collected off the coast of North Carolina. Chl a increases were observed after addition of FeCl3(in 1 of 5 bioassays), iron (III) EDTA (6 of 6 bioassays), or EDTA alone (4 of 4 bioassays). The chl a increases were suppressed significantly in 7 of 1 1 of these bioassays when the bioassay seawater was initially diluted by 1% with a 30 or 40 μM solution of hydrogen peroxide (a concentration similar to rainwater). Hydrogen peroxide induced inhibition of chl a production was not observed in bioassays in which chl a increased in response to addition of nitrate or ammonium, hence the growth inhibition was associated with added metal or complexing agent. Rainwater therefore plays a complex role in primary productivity in surface seawater, with the specific effect dependent upon rainwater concentrations of nitrate, ammonium, trace metals and hydrogen peroxide, as well as on the extent of nitrogen limitation and the oxidant concentration in the surface seawater.

description: Continuous integration at scale is costly but essential to software development. Various test optimization techniques including test selection and prioritization aim to reduce the cost. Test batching is an effective alternative, but overlooked technique. This study evaluates parallelization's effect by adjusting machine count for test batching and introduces two novel approaches. We establish TestAll as a baseline to study the impact of parallelism and machine count on feedback time. We re-evaluate ConstantBatching and introduce DynamicBatching, which adapts batch size based on the remaining changes in the queue. We also propose TestCaseBatching, enabling new builds to join a batch before full test execution, thus speeding up continuous integration. Our evaluations utilize Ericsson's results and 276 million test outcomes from open-source Chrome, assessing feedback time, execution reduction, and providing access to Chrome project scripts and data. The results reveal a non-linear impact of test parallelization on feedback time, as each test delay compounds across the entire test queue. ConstantBatching, with a batch size of 4, utilizes up to 72% fewer machines to maintain the actual average feedback time and provides a constant execution reduction of up to 75%. Similarly, DynamicBatching maintains the actual average feedback time with up to 91% fewer machines and exhibits variable execution reduction of up to 99%. TestCaseBatching holds the line of the actual average feedback time with up to 81% fewer machines and demonstrates variable execution reduction of up to 67%. We recommend practitioners use DynamicBatching and TestCaseBatching to reduce the required testing machines efficiently. Analyzing historical data to find the threshold where adding more machines has minimal impact on feedback time is also crucial for resource-effective testing.
title: The arts of integration: Scottish policies of refugee integration and the role of the creative and performing arts

description: This thesis contributes to the growing scholarly and policy interest in participatory arts practice and the integration of refugees within the UK and across the Global North. Situated in Glasgow the thesis offers an under- represented Scottish perspective, one that seeks to capture the personal and social role creative projects can have, whilst remaining critical of the arts being instrumentalised as a tool for integration as per policy definitions. Narrated from the perspective of Artist-Researcher, this thesis tells the story – or one version of the story – of a practice-based study that took place over eighteen months. Adopting an affective register, the thesis begins with an in- depth analysis of the intersecting themes and concerns that contextualise the research, before embarking upon an exploration that covers issues of representation, collaboration, and agency. It goes on to offer an interpretation of what might be referred to as the politics of arts practice with and by refugees, concerning itself with hospitality, reciprocity and affect. The final section of the thesis examines how individuals reflected upon their personal experiences of the projects and theorises the role creative practice has in supporting the (re)construction of individual and community identities. The thesis finishes with an in-depth analysis into the emotional labour that was made visible when attention was paid – through an arts-based methodology - to the question ‘what does integration look and feel like’. The research asserts that individuals integrating in Glasgow are positioned in a unique space between two, often oppositional, national narratives. Moreover, it reveals an ongoing tension between Scotland’s welcome response and the everyday, and structural challenges faced by those labouring through processes of integration. This thesis seeks to illuminate how arts projects can intersect with this tension, and also where they can offer alternative forms of engagement that allow individuals to escape the confines of categorisation, as well as the burden to (re)tell their story, and instead focus on discovering imaginative and bold forms of aesthetic expression.

description: Several populational networks present complex topologies when implemented in evolutionary algorithms. A common feature of these topologies is the emergence of a power law. Power law behavior with different scaling factors can also be observed in genealogical networks, but we still can not satisfactorily describe its dynamics or its relation to population evolution over time. In this paper, we use an algorithm to measure the impact of individuals in several numerical populations and study its dynamics of evolution through nonextensive statistics. Like this, we show evidence that the observed emergence of power law has a dynamic behavior over time. This dynamic development can be described using a family of q-exponential distributions whose parameters are time-dependent and follow a specific pattern. We also show evidence that elitism significantly influences the power law scaling factors observed. These results imply that the different power law shapes and deviations observed in genealogical networks are static images of a time-dependent dynamic development that can be satisfactorily described using q-exponential distributions.

description: Direct effects of predation have been widely recognized as important in affecting prey population dynamics and evolution. However, less attention has been devoted to the consequences of indirect effects of predators on prey behavior. For example, to avoid predation many animals restrict their activities to physical refugia and adopt low-mobility lifestyles, yet the consequences of these anti-predator behaviors for foraging and diet selection are relatively unknown. In this study we examine the relationships between mobility, feeding preferences, and compensatory feeding for 3 species of marine decapod crabs feeding on seaweeds in North Carolina, USA. Low mobility and high site fidelity of crabs were associated with a broad, non-selective diet and compensatory feeding. The majid Mithrax forceps exhibited the lowest mobility, highest site fidelity, and least selective diet of the 3 species, whereas another majid Libinia dubia was intermediate in both mobility and selectivity, and the xanthid Panopeus herbstii had the greatest mobility and narrowest diet. Of these 3 crabs, only M. forceps compensated for low food quality by increasing consumption rates in single food-species feeding assays. This may be because M. forceps is resistant to (or tolerant of) seaweed chemical defenses, while other crab species are not. The ability to consume, and presumably subsist on, a wide variety of potential foods including those defended from more mobile consumers may facilitate a low-mobility lifestyle, allowing the crab to minimize movement and reduce exposure to predators. Low mobility and high site-fidelity may thus facilitate the formation and use of associational refuges with sessile benthic organisms that are resistant to predators; these associations can have important community and ecosystem-wide consequences.

description: Background: Heavy-ion fusion reactions involving heavy nuclei at energies around the Coulomb barrier exhibit fusion hindrance, where the probability of compound nucleus formation is strongly hindered compared with that in light- and medium-mass systems. The origin of this fusion hindrance has not been well understood from a microscopic point of view. Purpose: Analyze the fusion dynamics in heavy systems by a microscopic reaction model and understand the origin of the fusion hindrance. Method: We employ the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. We extract nucleus--nucleus potential and energy dissipation by the method combining TDHF dynamics of the entrance channel of fusion reactions with one-dimensional Newton equation including a dissipation term. Then, we analyze the origin of the fusion hindrance using the properties of the extracted potential and energy dissipation. Results: Extracted potentials show monotonic increase as the relative distance of two nuclei decreases, which induces the disappearance of an ordinary barrier structure of the potential. This is different from those in light- and medium-mass systems and from density-constraint TDHF calculations. Extracted friction coefficients show sizable energy dependence and universal value of their magnitude, which are rather similar to those in light- and medium-mass systems. Using these properties, we analyze the origin of the fusion hindrance and find that contribution of the increase in potential to the extra-push energy is larger than that of the accumulated dissipation energy in most systems studied in this article. Conclusions: By the analysis of the origin of the fusion hindrance, we conclude that, as the system becomes heavier, the dynamical increase in potential at small relative distances plays a more important role than the dissipation during the fusion reaction for understanding the origin of the fusion hindrance.

description: Variability of nutrients and pelagic biological parameters (primary production and chlorophyll a [chl a] in flagellate and cyanobacterial size fractions, nitrogen fixation, phytoplankton species abundance) was followed for 12 d in July 1996 at an anchor station at the entrance to the Gulf of Finland, Simultaneously, meso-scale physical fields and plankton distribution were mapped over the surrounding 15 x 30 km area. The study period coincided with the intense blooming of a dinoflagellate Heterocapsa triquetra Ehrenberg and cyanobacterium Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (Linné) Ralfs community. A complex background of hydrodynamical processes was observed in the study area, including downwelling, formation and development of an anticyclonic eddy and jet currents. Our hypothesis was that the horizontal scale of patches decreases and the variation of biological parameters increases when moving from the overall community level (chl a) to the size class level and further to the species level. The horizontal distribution of chl a was closely related to the different water masses, but the distribution of the 2 dominant species differed and showed high variability even within water masses. The temporal variability of the pelagic biological parameters at the anchor station (estimated by the coefficient of variation) was between 25 and 95 % and it may be explained by horizontal patchiness. The results confirmed our hypothesis by showing that the coefficient of variation of summational parameters (total chl a, total primary production) was always lower than that of parameters specific to plankton size (chl a and primary production in 20 pm size classes), functional group (diazotrophs) or species. Phytoplankton in the size range equal to or greater than 20 μm exhibited particularly pronounced variability, while the smaller size fractions were less affected.

description: Predation is believed to be a major source of mortality for larvae of benthic invertebrates, but the palatability of larvae commonly found in the water column has rarely been assessed. Larval palatability assays were conducted by collecting live invertebrate larvae from a temperate field site and offering them to a suite of common predators (the fishes Lagodon rhomboides, Leiostomus xanthurus, and Monacanthus hispidus and the hard coral Oculina arbuscula). By crushing larvae that were rejected intact and re-offering them to predators, it was possible to distinguish between defenses based on morphological and chemical characteristics of the larvae. Additionally, abundance data were collected for taxonomic groups of larvae at our sampling location. The majority of invertebrate larvae were palatable to consumers. Most predators readily consumed polychaete larvae, barnacle nauplii, bivalve veligers, shrimp zoeae, crab megalopae, phoronid actinotrochs, and hemichordate tornaria (which together accounted for 65% of meroplankton abundance), suggesting that these larvae lacked effective morphological or chemical defenses. Against at least 1 fish predator, a significant number of gastropod veligers, barnacle cyprids, crab zoeae, and stomatopod larvae (which accounted for 34% of meroplankton abundance) appeared to be morphologically defended. Larvae from these groups tended to be rejected whole, but were consumed by fishes once they were crushed. A significant number of nemertean pilidia, asteroid bipinnaria, and cnidarian planulae (which accounted for only 0.2% of meroplankton abundance) were rejected both whole and crushed, suggesting that some species or individuals within these taxa may be chemically defended. Thus, the majority of larvae from this assemblage of temperate meroplankton lacked physical or chemical defenses against potential predators (3 fishes and 1 cnidarian). Among the remaining larvae, physical resistance to predators was much more common than chemical resistance.

Это исключает применение прежних общепринятых макроэкономических концепций. Автором делается вывод о том, что в настоящее время в России поиск приемлемых инструментов стимулирования производственных инвестиций должен сводиться к обеспечению отличия инвестиционных денег от денег текущего потребления, ибо их идентичность (неотличимость) – причина перекачки инвестиционных фондов в спекулятивные операции и текущее потребление. Также поставленную задачу ограничения уровня инфляции нужно решать механизмом регулирования эмиссии банковских кредитных денег и отделения из общей массы денежных ресурсов инвестиционных средств, обеспеченных реальными инвестиционными материалами, хотя такое разделение потребует не очень простых технических решений и инструментов.

description: We discuss the historic mortality record corresponding to the initial focus of the yellow fever epidemic outbreak registered in Buenos Aires during the year 1871 as compared to simulations of a stochastic population dynamics model. This model incorporates the biology of the urban vector of yellow fever, the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the stages of the disease in the human being as well as the spatial extension of the epidemic outbreak. After introducing the historical context and the restrictions it puts on initial conditions and ecological parameters, we discuss the general features of the simulation and the dependence on initial conditions and available sites for breeding the vector. We discuss the sensitivity, to the free parameters, of statistical estimators such as: final death toll, day of the year when the outbreak reached half the total mortality and the normalized daily mortality, showing some striking regularities. The model is precise and accurate enough to discuss the truthfulness of the presently accepted historic discussions of the epidemic causes, showing that there are more likely scenarios for the historic facts.

description: Research in seashore and seafloor communities has contributed immensely to the conceptual growth of ecology. Here we summarize some of the most important findings and discuss needs and opportunities for future work. Disproportionately large numbers of the most influential contributions are derived from studies of rocky shores and coral reefs because aspects of these systems (accessibility) and of their most common species (sessile or weakly motile, high density, short generation time) make them well suited to manipulative experiments. Foremost among the research contributions from seashore and seafloor systems are increased understanding of (1) competition and consumer-prey interactions, (2) trophic cascades and other indirect species interactions, (3) the evolution of defense and resistance in consumer-prey systems, (4) the importance of propagule transport and recruitment variation to adult populations, (5) the impacts of physical disturbance, and (6) the generation and maintenance of species diversity on ecological time scales. We acknowledge the importance of manipulative experiments in the growth of marine ecology, but question whether a strict adherence to this approach will best serve future needs. Some of the most pressing needs for future knowledge are: (1) documenting the complex influences of spatial and temporal scales on ecological processes, (2) identifying the role of large, mobile predators in marine ecosystems, (3) understanding factors limiting marine autotrophs, (4) integrating historical biology and neontology, and (5) appreciating intersystem linkages. Increased attention to conducting arrays of experiments, taking measurements and observations, and documenting change at larger scales of space and time will provide insights that are unattainable by the commonly used methodological protocols. Novel approaches, including (1) evaluating and managing human disturbance for the joint purpose of conservation and learning, (2) developing stronger ties between scientists working in open-ocean and near-shore systems, and (3) developing collaborative projects among scientists in the academic, governmental, and private sectors are required to understand many of these processes.

description: We study the Markov chain on $\mathbf{F}_p$ obtained by applying a function $f$ and adding $\pmγ$ with equal probability. When $f$ is a linear function, this is the well-studied Chung--Diaconis--Graham process. We consider two cases: when $f$ is the extension of a rational function which is bijective, and when $f(x)=x^2$. In the latter case, the stationary distribution is not uniform and we characterize it when $p=3\pmod{4}$. In both cases, we give an almost linear bound on the mixing time, showing that the deterministic function dramatically speeds up mixing. The proofs involve establishing bounds on exponential sums over the union of short intervals.

description: The atmospheric muon neutrino deficit, which was possible evidence of $ν_μ\leftrightarrow ν_τ$ oscillation, was reported by the Kamiokande experiment from 1988. Many experimental efforts were made to examine the Kamiokande results. Experiments which contributed to the confirmation of $ν_μ\leftrightarrow ν_τ$ oscillation are reviewed. Especially, long-baseline neutrino-oscillation experiments are described in detail.

description: We introduce a Bayesian method for fitting faint, resolved stellar spectra in order to obtain simultaneous estimates of redshift and stellar-atmospheric parameters. We apply the method to thousands of spectra---covering 5160-5280 Angs. at resolution R~20,000---that we have acquired with the MMT/Hectochelle fibre spectrograph for red-giant and horizontal branch candidates along the line of sight to the Milky Way's dwarf spheroidal satellite in Draco. The observed stars subtend an area of ~4 deg^2, extending ~3 times beyond Draco's nominal `tidal' radius. For each spectrum we tabulate the first four moments---central value, variance, skewness and kurtosis---of posterior probability distribution functions representing estimates of the following physical parameters: line-of-sight velocity v_los, effective temperature (T_eff), surface gravity (logg) and metallicity ([Fe/H]). After rejecting low-quality measurements, we retain a new sample consisting of 2813 independent observations of 1565 unique stars, including 1879 observations for 631 stars with (as many as 13) repeat observations. Parameter estimates have median random errors of sigma_{v_los}=0.88 km/s, sigma_{T_eff}=162 K, sigma_logg=0.37 dex and sigma_[Fe/H]=0.20 dex. Our estimates of physical parameters distinguish ~470 likely Draco members from interlopers in the Galactic foreground.

description: Fish exhibit impressive locomotive performance and agility in complex underwater environments, using their undulating tails and pectoral fins for propulsion and maneuverability. Replicating these abilities in robotic fish is challenging; existing designs focus on either fast swimming or directional control at limited speeds, mainly within a confined environment. To address these limitations, we designed Snapp, an integrated robotic fish capable of swimming in open water with high speeds and full 3-dimensional maneuverability. A novel cyclic-differential method is layered on the mechanism. It integrates propulsion and yaw-steering for fast course corrections. Two independent pectoral fins provide pitch and roll control. We evaluated Snapp in open water environments. We demonstrated significant improvements in speed and maneuverability, achieving swimming speeds of 1.5 m/s (1.7 Body Lengths per second) and performing complex maneuvers, such as a figure-8 and S-shape trajectory. Instantaneous yaw changes of 15$^{\circ}$ in 0.4 s, a minimum turn radius of 0.85 m, and maximum pitch and roll rates of 3.5 rad/s and 1 rad/s, respectively, were recorded. Our results suggest that Snapp's swimming capabilities have excellent practical prospects for open seas and contribute significantly to developing agile robotic fishes.
