description: Zakat, an annual mandatory payment on productive wealth and one of the five ‘pillars’ of Islam, represents one of the most interesting avenues into studying informality and taxation. It is by some margin the largest specific informal tax on the planet – most zakat payments are made without involvement of the state and add up to substantial proportions of overall redistribution in Muslim majority countries, potentially rivalling total global ODA spending. Focusing on Pakistan, this project builds on a previous project on zakat by the International Centre for Tax and Development, exploring new questions and deepening six areas of inquiry. First, the quantum of zakat giving; second, the determinants of zakat payment, third, the determinants of individualised and collectivised giving; fourth, the distributional biases created by individualised zakat giving and their origins; and fifth, the effects that zakat giving has on perceptions of state-levied wealth taxes. Finally, the project also includes a sixth area of inquiry on other determinants of the perceptions of wealth taxes in Pakistan. The project’s methodology relies on a nationally representative CATI survey in Pakistan.
title: Muscle, Bone and Fat Characteristics in Mild-to-Moderate Hip Osteoarthritis
Creators: name: Loureiro, Aderson

Subjects: subject: Hip osteoarthritis
subject: Total hip replacement
subject: Body mass index

description: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive joint disorder that causes pain and motor dysfunction, which imposes a substantial health burden on the individual and health care system. The clinical end-point for severe hip OA is a total hip replacement. However hip replacement is an invasive and costly medical procedure, so efforts to prolong time to joint replacement through interventions that reduce pain and maximise function are required. A necessary requirement for developing efficacious interventions to manage hip OA is a thorough understanding of the musculoskeletal alterations associated with the disease so that they can be more directly targeted. Research to date has predominantly focused on characterising these deficits in advanced stages of the disease. These prior studies suggest that muscle weakness, altered femoral geometry and increased BMI, total body fat and intramuscular fat content are features of advanced hip OA, which together have the potential to alter the mechanical and metabolic environment of the hip joint. A need therefore existed to better understand the musculoskeletal deficits associated with earlier stages of hip OA, and how they change over time. The general aim of this thesis was therefore to investigate muscle, bone and fat characteristics in individuals with mild-to-moderate hip OA and age-matched controls at baseline and at 12-months follow-up.
Seismogram synthesis for teleseismic events with application to source and structural studies

description: The aim of this thesis is to develop procedures for the modelling and inversion of teleseismic P and S waveforms which are as flexible as possible. This flexibility is necessary in order to obtain accurate source depth and mechanism estimates for small to moderate size events, such as those that are relevant in the context of monitoring the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). ¶ The main challenge for extending source depth and mechanism inversion methods to smaller events is to ensure that sufficiently accurate synthetic seismograms are available for comparison with observed records. An accurate phase-adaptive reflectivity method has therefore been developed, against which the performance of less computationally intensive approximations can be judged. The standard reflectivity method has been modified to allow for different crustal and upper mantle structures at the source and receiver, and the full effects of reverberations and conversions in these structures can be allowed for. Core reflections and refractions can also be included; these phases can become important at certain distance ranges. A slowness bundle approach has been developed, where a restricted slowness integration about the geometric slowness for the direct wave is undertaken at each frequency, allowing accurate results to be obtained whilst avoiding the expense of a full reflectivity technique. ¶ ...

description: Properties of analytic vectors in representations of SL(2,R) are used to give new bounds for the triple products recently considered by P. Sarnak. A conjecture of Sarnak about such products is proved. The results of this paper generalize results of A. Good and M. Jutila about special cases, but the techniques are entirely different. One consequence of these results is a new estimate of the magnitude of the Fourier coefficients of cusp forms for non-arithmetic sub-groups of SL(2,R).

Experimental study of the non-linear saturation of the elliptical instability: inertial wave turbulence versus geostrophic turbulence

description: In this paper, we present an experimental investigation of the turbulent saturation of the flow driven by parametric resonance of inertial waves in a rotating fluid. In our set-up, a half-meter wide ellipsoid filled with water is brought to solid body rotation, and then undergoes sustained harmonic modulation of its rotation rate. This triggers the exponential growth of a pair of inertial waves via a mechanism called the libration-driven elliptical instability. Once the saturation of this instability is reached, we observe a turbulent state for which energy is injected into the resonant inertial waves only. Depending on the amplitude of the rotation rate modulation, two different saturation states are observed. At large forcing amplitudes, the saturation flow mainly consists of a steady, geostrophic anticyclone. Its amplitude vanishes as the forcing amplitude is decreased while remaining above the threshold of the elliptical instability. Below this secondary transition, the saturation flow is a superposition of inertial waves which are in weakly non-linear resonant interaction, a state that could asymptotically lead to inertial wave turbulence. In addition to being a first experimental observation of a wave-dominated saturation in unstable rotating flows, the present study is also an experimental confirmation of the model of Le Reun et al, PRL (2017) who introduced the possibility of these two turbulent regimes. The transition between these two regimes and their relevance to geophysical applications are finally discussed.

description: We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the mineral atacamite Cu$_2$Cl(OH)$_3$. Density functional theory yields a Hamiltonian describing anisotropic sawtooth chains with weak 3D connections. Experimentally, we fully characterize the antiferromagnetically ordered state. Magnetic order shows a complex evolution with the magnetic field, while, starting at 31.5 T, we observe a plateau-like magnetization at about $M_{\rm sat}/2$. Based on complementary theoretical approaches, we show that the latter is unrelated to the known magnetization plateau of a sawtooth chain. Instead, we provide evidence that the magnetization process in atacamite is a field-driven canting of a 3D network of weakly coupled sawtooth chains that form giant moments.

description: This dissertation is a study of the architecture of commodity capital: the display window. Taking as a starting point the work of Henri Lefebvre and Goerg Simmel, this dissertation understands the shop window to be a mode of display, what I define as “the logic of the vitrine,” that has shaped the way the world appears. Tracing a genealogy from the Parisian Arcades to the twentieth-century department store, this project explores the relationships between gender, sexuality, race, and architecture. Feminist critiques of commodity desire and display illuminate how the shop window is as important to our understandings of capitalism as is the commodity. Through feminist, queer, postcolonial, and anti-racist readings of material and commodity culture, this dissertation considers the shop window to be a site of subject formation. This dissertation also examines how designers, artists, and architects have explored the display of the shop window through a series of case studies, including Marina Abramovic’s Role Exchange, Gene Moore’s “drag” in Bonwit Teller’s shop windows, the making of a black mannequin, and Lynn Hershman Leeson’s site-specific installation 25 Windows. This dissertation concludes with a consideration of the architectural role reversals of the shop window and the gallery; the work of Silvia Kolbowski and Elmgreen and Dragset’s Prada Marfa ground this analysis. Artists have disrupted the display of the shop window, transforming the architecture of commodity capital into a space for resistance and critique.

description: The Hyrcanian forest of northern Iran is considered one of the potential centres for the evolution and domestication of the genus Malus (Rosaceae). However, the biogeography, phylogenetic position, and taxonomic status of the Hyrcanian wild apples have never been evaluated. In our study, the nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the trnH-psbA intergenic spacer region from 14 natural populations were analysed. Phylogenetic analysis based on the ITS and the Maximum-likelihood (ML) tree showed that all Hyrcanian samples were closely related to M. orientalis and M. asiatica and can be placed within section Malus and series Malus. Furthermore, based on a comparison of ITS2 secondary structures, the Hyrcanian samples were identical to M. orientalis and M. sieversii. Biogeographic scenarios constructed using Statistical Dispersal-Vicariance Analysis (S-DIVA) and the Bayesian Binary Method (BBM) indicated that the ancestor of Malus originated during the Eocene, ∼53 million years ago (Ma), and that China played a vital role in the expansion of the range of the genus. The members of Malus colonized the Hyrcanian region from China during the Miocene, ∼22-10 Ma.
A unified approach to mixed-integer optimization problems with logical constraints

description: We propose a unified framework to address a family of classical mixed-integer optimization problems with logically constrained decision variables, including network design, facility location, unit commitment, sparse portfolio selection, binary quadratic optimization, sparse principal analysis and sparse learning problems. These problems exhibit logical relationships between continuous and discrete variables, which are usually reformulated linearly using a big-M formulation. In this work, we challenge this longstanding modeling practice and express the logical constraints in a non-linear way. By imposing a regularization condition, we reformulate these problems as convex binary optimization problems, which are solvable using an outer-approximation procedure. In numerical experiments, we establish that a general-purpose numerical strategy, which combines cutting-plane, first-order and local search methods, solves these problems faster and at a larger scale than state-of-the-art mixed-integer linear or second-order cone methods. Our approach successfully solves network design problems with 100s of nodes and provides solutions up to 40\% better than the state-of-the-art; sparse portfolio selection problems with up to 3,200 securities compared with 400 securities for previous attempts; and sparse regression problems with up to 100,000 covariates.

Turbulent channel flow simulations using a coarse-grained extension of the Lattice Boltzmann method

description: A coarse-grained version of the Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method is developed with the intent of enhancing its geometrical flexibility so as to be able to tackle a wider class of flows of engineering interest. To this purpose, the original uniform LB technique is combined with standard finite-volume techniques based upon a blend of piecewise constant and piecewise linear interpolation schemes. A series of validation tests for the three dimensional channel flow with one-dimensional (cross-channel) statistical behaviour are presented. The main conclusion is that, although the method does indeed mark a significant stride forward with respect to the original uniform LB scheme, better interpolation schemes should be developed before the coarse-grain LB can become fully competitive with modern CFD schemes.

 Lacticaseibacillus (Lac.ti.ca.se.i.ba.cil'lus. L. neut. n. lac milk; L. n. caseus cheese, referring to the casei-group lactobacilli; L. masc. n. bacillus a rod; N.L. masc. n. Lacticaseibacillus a milk-derived rodlet from the [Lactobacillus] casei group).
 Strains of Lacticaseibacillus are homofermentative; some but not all species metabolise pentoses via the phosphoketolase pathway. The mol % G+C content of DNA is between 46 and 58.0. The genome size ranges from 1.93 to 3.14 Mbp. Strains are non-motile, oxidase negative, often producing D(−)- and L(+)-lactic acid from glucose. The temperature range for growth is variable, but never below 10 °C and never above 45 °C. One subspecies survives 70 °C for 40 s. Lys–D-Asp is the most common type of the peptidoglycan. The genus has considerable economic importance as it harbours several species that are used as starter cultures in dairy fermentations and as probiotics [58, 59].
 A phylogenetic tree on the basis of 16S rRNA genes of all species in the genus Lacticaseibacillus is provided in Fig. S 6F.
 The type species is Lacticaseibacillus casei comb. nov.; Lacticaseibacillus was previously referred to as L. casei group.

description: A rectangular graphyne sheet is composed of units similar to phenyl rings that are linked by acetylenic chains, as in hexagonal $γ$-graphyne. This system is organized over a rectangular lattice similar to that of the recently synthesized biphenylene network. We investigate the stability of this sheet from different perspectives and study its electronic structure. Rectangular graphyne is a semiconducting system in its pristine form and features a pair of highly localized states. These characteristics are correlated with the structural anisotropy of the system, since its frontier states behave like quasi--1D states embedded in the 2D lattice. We further consider modified systems in which longer acetylenic links are introduced. We discuss how a strategic choice of the position of these longer bridges can lead to specific changes of the electronic structure of the rectangular graphyne sheet.

description: To provide more insight into the removal ability of urban air dust and associated metals by plant leaves, and thus guide urban green planning to improve air quality, 15 plant species leaves collected from Beijing roadside were analyzed for size fractions of leaf surface dust (SD) and inner wax dust (WD). Seven associated metals Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn were also measured. Metal Accumulation Index (MAI) was calculated for different species leaves at various dust sizes and soluble forms, respectively. Cluster analysis was used for the plant species and correlations between dust and metal concentrations and for inter-metal concentrations were calculated for both surface and inner wax dust. Mean leaf total dust TD (SD + WD), SD and WD were measured as 1159, 817 and 342 mg m−2, respectively, with the highest values observed all in Euonymus japonicus. Most species leaves collected larger ratios of SD than WD except Salix babylonica and Robinia pseudoacacia. While SD was presented at all particle size fractions for all plants, nearly all species leaves collected higher proportions of WD >10 µm. Mean metal levels of leaf TD of all species ranged from high to low as Fe > Cr > Zn > Pb > Cu > Mn > Cd, but with different orders for individual species. Metals were observed in all sizes of SD/WD, although the size distributions were various for certain metals. Intercorrelations of metal concentrations in leaf SD/WD were positively significant except Pb, which may have different emission sources. Species Prunus cerasifera f. atropurpurea, Syringa oblata, Malus micromalu, Koelreuteria paniculata and Robinia pseudoacacia may possess better overall metal collection ability due to their relatively higher MAI values, but species Euonymus japonicus, Malus micromalu, Ligustrum x vicaryi and Koelreuteria paniculata were identified as the best choices in removing air dust based on cluster analysis and suggested to be planted at heavy trafficked road site for air quality improvement.

description: In 2005, Britto, Cachazo, Feng and Witten gave a recurrence (now known as the BCFW recurrence) for computing scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang Mills theory. Arkani-Hamed and Trnka subsequently introduced the amplituhedron to give a geometric interpretation of the BCFW recurrence. Arkani-Hamed and Trnka conjectured that each way of iterating the BCFW recurrence gives a "triangulation" or "tiling" of the m=4 amplituhedron. In this article we prove the BCFW tiling conjecture of Arkani-Hamed and Trnka. We also prove the cluster adjacency conjecture for BCFW tiles of the amplituhedron, which says that facets of tiles are cut out by collections of compatible cluster variables for the Grassmannian Gr(4,n). Moreover we show that each BCFW tile is the subset of the Grassmannian where certain cluster variables have particular signs.

description: In recent advancements in spoken question answering (QA), end-to-end models have made significant strides. However, previous research has primarily focused on extractive span selection. While this extractive-based approach is effective when answers are present directly within the input, it falls short in addressing abstractive questions, where answers are not directly extracted but inferred from the given information. To bridge this gap, we introduce the first end-to-end Generative Spoken Question Answering (GSQA) model that empowers the system to engage in abstractive reasoning. The challenge in training our GSQA model lies in the absence of a spoken abstractive QA dataset. We propose using text models for initialization and leveraging the extractive QA dataset to transfer knowledge from the text generative model to the spoken generative model. Experimental results indicate that our model surpasses the previous extractive model by 3% on extractive QA datasets. Furthermore, the GSQA model has only been fine-tuned on the spoken extractive QA dataset. Despite not having seen any spoken abstractive QA data, it can still closely match the performance of the cascade model. In conclusion, our GSQA model shows the potential to generalize to a broad spectrum of questions, thus further expanding the spoken question answering capabilities of abstractive QA.

description: While the progressive collapse mechanisms of concrete and steel buildings have been widely researched, limited studies have been carried out on mass timber buildings. Experimental testing under given loading scenarios of the entire system or a representative large part of it, may be required to extend the knowledge and improve design rules. However, due to the limited laboratory space and budget restrictions, fullscale tests are rare and may not always be possible. In steel and concrete, tests are frequently performed on scaled down systems. Since timber is an inhomogeneous material, interpreting experimental results on scaled down timber structures may not always be straightforward. Knowing that connectors play a vital role in the performance and robustness of timber buildings, analysing the scale effect on the behaviour of connectors would therefore provide a solid understanding of how experimental results from scaled systems should be interpreted. Furthermore, current Australian and international design codes in timber structures recommend a linear elastic approach for designing beam-to-column timber connections. In the event of an unexpected loading or losing a main load-carrying element such as a column, connections may experience large deformations resulting from disproportionate shear and bending actions. Under such a scenario, the structure may undergo nonlinear plastic deformations. The connector’s capability in obtaining large rotations is a critical factor in the robustness of the structure with regards to a potential progressive collapse. In this context, the current study is aiming to (i) experimentally and numerically investigate the scaling effects in three types of beam-to-column timber connections used in mass timber buildings, (ii) to investigate the behaviour of connections subjected to shear and bending moment, (iii) introduce a connection that can undergo large rotations in a progressive collapse event, and numerically investigate the proposed connections’ response to combined shear and bending actions.

description: DESCRIPTION OF LACTICASEIBACILLUS CASEI COMB. NOV.
 Lacticaseibacillus casei (ca’se.i. L. gen. n. casei of cheese).
 Basonym: Lactobacillus casei (Orla Jensen 1916, Hansen and Lessel 1971, 71 (Approved Lists) (Streptobacterium casei Orla-Jensen 1919, 166).
 The species includes strains previously classified as Lactobacillus zeae [155]. Original characteristics of L. casei strains are provided by [2, 156, 157]. L. casei is differentiated from most other lactobacilli by catalase activity [47]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.83 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 46.5.
 Isolates were obtained from diverse sources including chinese traditional pickle, infant faeces, corn liquor, oat silage, commercial dietary supplements, sputum, nasopharynx [47]. Information on the lifestyle of L. casei is counded by the unclear taxonomy over the past decades; most genomes of designated as L. casei in the NCBI database should be classified as L. paracasei instead [10, 47].
 The type strain is 03 [7, IAM 12473, Orland L-323, R. P. Tittsler 303] T = ATCC 393 T = BCRC 10697 T = CCUG 21451 T = CECT 475 T = CIP 103137 T = DSM 20011 T = IAM 12473 T = NBRC 15883 T = JCM 1134 T = KCTC 3109 T = LMG 6904 T = NCIMB 11970 T = NCIMB 11970 T = NRRL B-1922 T.

description: A number of mines in mountainous regions of British Columbia are being forced by topographic constraints to dump large quantitites of waste rock in valley fills. As stream diversions around dumps are often very costly, a flow-through rock drain may be an economical alternative for conveying streamflow, particularly if suitable mine waste rock is available. Aspects to be considered in design of flow-through drains include analysis of the availability and quality of waste rock, the method of waste rock selection and placement, determination of design floods by hydrologie analysis, hydraulic design, stability of the downstream slope, assessment of sediment production, reclamation and abandonments. At the Teck Bullmoose Coal Project, a valley fill with a flow-through rock drain was an economical solution to waste rock disposal. The rock drain in being constructed by end-dumping selected, good quality sandstone. Construction of the dump began in early 1984 and observations indicate that the drain in functioning well.

description: Accurate positions (to sub-arcsecond accuracy) of 25 GHz class I methanol maser emission were obtained for 28 sources in active star forming regions in the Southern Hemisphere. Eight transitions (J=2 to J=9) of the series were observed at 0.006 kms-1 resolution on the CABB correlator on the ATCA. Of the 15 sources with maser emission; each source has at least 1 maser emission line. Two sources have emission in six of the observed transitions. The upper limits are between 0.23 - 7.19 Jy for non-detected lines. The fluxes for the primary maser components range from 0.2 to 14.3 Jy. Most FWHMs fall within 0.1 to 0.5 kms-1, and appear broader for the J=7 line in most sources. 10 sources have quasi-thermal line emission. I also report the possible detection of broad thermal emission in 6 spectral components - all with peak fluxes of less than 1 Jy. The computed rotational temperatures for all 25 GHz masers range from 25 - 301 K. The upper limit on the J=2 line is much weaker than the value expected from the rotational diagrams for seven of the sources.
The observed 25 GHz masers fit two common models. Nine sources favour Model 1. Six sources follow Model 2. Neither model is a good predictor of the flux densities measured at J=2. The majority of 44 GHz masers lie within 10" of the 25 GHz masers. The 84 GHz masers lie closer to the 25 GHz masers if they fall into Model 1. Infra-red dark clouds, OH masers at 1720 MHz, and CH3OH masers at 19.9 and 12 GHz all lie within 15" of 25 GHz masers. In contrast, HII regions do not appear closer than 10". The 25 GHz maser transition series trace all stages of massive young stellar evolution - from the early formation of infra-red dark clouds to the bright ionized HII regions. This survey reports the most accurate positions (to 3.dp. in RA and DEC) of these 25 GHz masers to date..

description: Background: Ontologies are fundamental components of informatics infrastructure in domains such as biomedical, environmental, and food sciences, representing consensus knowledge in an accurate and computable form. However, their construction and maintenance demand substantial resources and necessitate substantial collaboration between domain experts, curators, and ontology experts. We present Dynamic Retrieval Augmented Generation of Ontologies using AI (DRAGON-AI), an ontology generation method employing Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). DRAGON-AI can generate textual and logical ontology components, drawing from existing knowledge in multiple ontologies and unstructured text sources.
 Results: We assessed performance of DRAGON-AI on de novo term construction across ten diverse ontologies, making use of extensive manual evaluation of results. Our method has high precision for relationship generation, but has slightly lower precision than from logic-based reasoning. Our method is also able to generate definitions deemed acceptable by expert evaluators, but these scored worse than human-authored definitions. Notably, evaluators with the highest level of confidence in a domain were better able to discern flaws in AI-generated definitions. We also demonstrated the ability of DRAGON-AI to incorporate natural language instructions in the form of GitHub issues.
 Conclusions: These findings suggest DRAGON-AI's potential to substantially aid the manual ontology construction process. However, our results also underscore the importance of having expert curators and ontology editors drive the ontology generation process.

description: The integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) technology has been extensively researched to enhance communication rates and radar sensing capabilities. Additionally, a new technology known as fluid antenna system (FAS) has recently been proposed to obtain higher communication rates for future wireless networks by dynamically altering the antenna position to obtain a more favorable channel condition. The application of the FAS technology in ISAC scenarios holds significant research potential. In this paper, we investigate a FAS-assisted multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) ISAC system for maximizing the radar sensing signal-clutter-noise ratio (SCNR) under communication signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and antenna position constraints. We devise an iterative algorithm that tackles the optimization problem by maximizing a lower bound of SCNR with respect to the transmit precoding matrix and the antenna position. By addressing the non-convexity of the problem through this iterative approach, our method significantly improves the SCNR. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves a higher SCNR compared to the baselines.

description: In characteristic zero, it was proven a long time ago by D. Lieberman that cohomological and numerical equivalence coincide for cycles on abelian varieties. In this paper we show this to be true also in a somewhat technical sense for abelian varieties defined over a finite field. The technicality is that the result is valid for l-adic cohomology for primes l of non-zero density.

From a Nation’s Secret to Pillars of Social Movements: “Comfort Women” at the Crossroads of Nationalism and Feminism

description: The sex slaves of the Japanese Imperial Army, also referred to as “comfort women,” have been historically ignored and sidelined. Despite the growing attention for this issue by both local and international civil society groups and activists since the 1990s, the survivors who continue to demand for justice to this day nevertheless continue to confront the obstacles they faced in the beginning stages of the redress movement. This thesis hypothesizes that this in part has to do with the issue embracing nationalist and feminist identities. As research has shown, Korea’s history since its independence in 1945 has proven that tensions between nationalism and feminism can have hindering effects. In this way, this study aims to determine how the relationship between nationalism and feminism since the beginning of the feminism movement in Korea has attributed to the silence as well as the discoveries of this issue. Building on past scholarship on top of interviews conducted with organizations and individuals both directly and indirectly involved with the sex slaves of the Japanese Imperial Army issue, this thesis attempts to shed light on the past challenges as well as current trajectories of the movement.
