A framework for understanding drag parameterizations for coral reefs
Creators: name: Rosman, J.H.
name: Hench, J.L.
Publisher: name: Blackwell Publishing Ltd
Year: 2011

description: In a hydrodynamic sense, a coral reef is a complex array of obstacles that exerts a net drag force on water moving over the reef. This drag is typically parameterized in ocean circulation models using drag coefficients (C D) or roughness length scales (z0); however, published CD for coral reefs span two orders of magnitude, posing a challenge to predictive modeling. Here we examine the reasons for the large range in reported CD and assess the limitations of using CD and z0 to parameterize drag on reefs. Using a formal framework based on the 3-D spatially averaged momentum equations, we show that CD and z0 are functions of canopy geometry and velocity profile shape. Using an idealized two-layer model, we illustrate that CD can vary by more than an order of magnitude for the same geometry and flow depending on the reference velocity selected and that differences in definition account for much of the range in reported CD values. Roughness length scales z 0 are typically used in 3-D circulation models to adjust C D for reference height, but this relies on spatially averaged near-bottom velocity profiles being logarithmic. Measurements from a shallow backreef indicate that z0 determined from fits to point measurements of velocity profiles can be very different from z0 required to parameterize spatially averaged drag. More sophisticated parameterizations for drag and shear stresses are required to simulate 3-D velocity fields over shallow reefs; in the meantime, we urge caution when using published C D and z0 values for coral reefs.

description: Floquet-Weyl semimetals (FWSMs) generated by irradiation of a continuous-wave laser with left-hand circular polarization (rotating in counterclockwise sense with time) on the group II-V narrow gap semiconductor Zn$_3$As$_2$ are theoretically investigated, where the frequency of the laser is set nearly {\it resonant} with a band gap of the crystal. It is found that the excitation of the crystal by such a laser induce two types of FWSM phases that differ absolutely in characters. To be specific, the associated two pairs of Weyl points are stably formed by band touching between Floquet sidebands ascribable to a valence band labeled as $J_z=\pm3/2$ and a conduction band labeled as $J_z=\pm 1/2$, where $J_z$ represents the $z$-component of total angular momentum quantum number of $Γ$-point and a double sign corresponds. Here, one FWSM state composed of the up-spin Floquet sidebands relevant to $J_z=3/2$ and $1/2$ shows almost quadratic band-touching in the vicinity of the associated pair of Weyl points, while the other FWSM state composed of the down-spin Floquet sidebands relevant to $J_z=-3/2$ and $-1/2$ shows linear band-touching. Further, it is revealed that both up-spin and down-spin sidebands host nontrivial two-dimensional surface states that are pinned to the respective pairs of the Weyl points. Both surface states also show different energy dispersions and physical properties. More detailed discussion is made in the text on the origin of the above findings, chirality of the FWSM phases, alteration of topological order, laser-induced magnetic properties, and so on.

description: Avant sa disparition de la scène, sous les coups de boutoir des Romantiques, le théâtre de Voltaire a connu une vie paradoxale sous le Consulat et l’Empire. Il a bénéficié d’une actualité, celle des combats idéologiques qui opposaient les libéraux aux partisans de l’Église, et il a été la victime de cette même actualisation. Il s’est trouvé englué dans le processus de classicisation de la littérature dramatique, centré sur les grands auteurs du XVIIe siècle, « recréés » dans le nationalisme naissant et la nouvelle conscience historique : l’actualité de cette première décennie du siècle semblait arracher Voltaire à l’Histoire, dans laquelle il ne pouvait encore trouver sa place. Souvent représenté, le théâtre de Voltaire connut donc en ce début du XIXe siècle ses dernières années de gloire.

A comparison of methods for estimating reynolds stress from ADCP measurements in wavy environments

description: Turbulent Reynolds stresses are now routinely estimated from acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements in estuaries and tidal channels using the variance method, yet biases due to surface gravity waves limit its use in the coastal ocean. Recent modifications to this method, including spatially filtering velocities to isolate the turbulence from wave velocities and fitting a cospectral model to the below-wave band cospectra, have been used to remove this bias. Individually, each modification performed well for the published test datasets, but a comparative analysis over the range of conditions in the coastal ocean has not yet been performed. This work uses ADCP velocity measurements from five previously published coastal ocean and estuarine datasets, which span a range of wave and current conditions as well as instrument configurations, to directly compare methods for estimating stresses in the presence of waves. The computed stresses from each were compared to bottom stress estimates from a quadratic drag law and, where available, estimates of wind stress. These comparisons, along with an analysis of the cospectra, indicated that spectral fitting performs well when the wave climate is wide-banded and/or multidirectional as well as when instrument noise is high. In contrast, spatial filtering performs better when waves are narrow-banded, low frequency, and when wave orbital velocities are strong relative to currents. However, as spatial filtering uses vertically separated velocity bins to remove the wave bias, spectral fitting is able to resolve stresses over a larger fraction of the water column.

description: Gravitational lensing of a light source by a black hole leads to appearance of higher-order images produced by photons that loop around the black hole before reaching the observer. Higher-order images were widely investigated numerically and analytically, in particular using so-called strong deflection limit of gravitational deflection. After recent observations of the black hole image, attention has been drawn to higher-order rings, which are lensed images of the accreting matter of the black hole environment and can appear near the boundary of the black hole shadow. In this article, we use strong deflection limit technique to investigate higher-order ring images of luminous accretion disc around a Schwarzschild black hole. We consider thin disk given by the inner and outer radii and an observer located far from the black hole on the axis of symmetry. For this configuration, it becomes possible to find the angular radii, thicknesses, and solid angles of higher-order rings in the form of compact analytical expressions. We show that the size of the rings is mainly determined by the position of the inner boundary of the accretion disk, which makes it possible to use them to distinguish between different accretion models. Possible generalizations of our model to non-symmetric images can help to make the estimation of black hole angular momentum. We also present the analytical estimation of fluxes from higher-order images. Our method makes it easy to investigate $n=2$ and $n=3$ higher-order rings, the possible observation of which in future projects is currently being discussed.

description: Surface waves introduce velocity correlations that bias and often dominate Reynolds stress estimates made using the traditional variance method for acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs). This analysis shows that the wave bias is the sum of a real wave stress and an error due to instrument tilt, both of which have a large uncertainty. Three alternative extensions to the variance method for calculating Reynolds stress profiles from ADCP measurements in wavy conditions are analyzed. The previously proposed variance fitting method (Variance Fit) is evaluated and two more general methods that use along- and between-beam velocity differencing with adaptive filtering (Vertical AF and Horizontal AF) are derived. The three methods are tested on datasets containing long-period monochromatic swell (Moorea, French Polynesia) and shorter-period mixed swell (Santa Barbara, California). The Variance Fit method leaves a residual wave bias in beam velocity variances, especially for intermediate waves, but gives physically reasonable Reynolds stress estimates because most of the residual wave bias cancels when the variance method is applied. The new Vertical AF method does not produce inherent wave bias in beam velocity variances, but yields comparable Reynolds stresses to the Variance Fit method. The Horizontal AF method performs poorly for all but monochromatic waves. Error remaining after one of the above methods is applied can be attributed to residual wave error, correlation of turbulence between points chosen for differencing, or correlation between waves and turbulence. A simple procedure is provided for determining the minimum bin separation that can be used.

description: Macrocystis pyrifera (Giant Kelp) forests form important habitats in temperate coastal regions. Hydrodynamics control the transport of nutrients, food particles, larvae and spores at scales ranging from boundary layers around individual blades to entire kelp forests. Our measurements include vertical profiles of current and temperature, and concurrent wave measurements, at a number of different locations in and around a kelp forest at Santa Cruz, California. We find that flow at the site is dominated by variations at diurnal and semidiurnal frequencies. A vertically sheared across-shore flow, consistent with flow driven by an across-shore density gradient, is thought to be important for exchange between the kelp forest and the surrounding coastal ocean. Within the kelp forest, currents are reduced by a factor that correlates with surface canopy coverage, higher frequency internal waves are damped, and onshore transport due to waves (Stokes drift) is estimated to be similar in magnitude to that due to currents. Richardson numbers within the kelp forest are higher than those outside the kelp forest and indicate that the water column within the kelp forest is usually stable to turbulence generation by mean velocity shear.

description: Aims: Develop a data-driven and statistically based method for finding such clumps in Integrals of Motion space for nearby halo stars and evaluating their significance robustly. Methods: We use data from Gaia EDR3 extended with radial velocities from ground-based spectroscopic surveys to construct a sample of halo stars within 2.5 kpc from the Sun. We apply a hierarchical clustering method that uses the single linkage algorithm in a 3D space defined by the commonly used integrals of motion energy $E$, together with two components of the angular momentum, $L_z$ and $L_\perp$. To evaluate the statistical significance of the clusters found, we compare the density within an ellipsoidal region centered on the cluster to that of random sets with similar global dynamical properties. We pick out the signal at the location of their maximum statistical significance in the hierarchical tree. We estimate the proximity of a star to the cluster center using the Mahalanobis distance. We also apply the HDBSCAN clustering algorithm in velocity space. Results: Our procedure identifies 67 highly significant clusters ($ > 3σ$), containing 12\% of the sources in our halo set, and in total 232 subgroups or individual streams in velocity space. In total, 13.8\% of the stars in our data set can be confidently associated to a significant cluster based on their Mahalanobis distance. Inspection of our data set reveals a complex web of relationships between the significant clusters, suggesting that they can be tentatively grouped into at least 6 main structures, many of which can be associated to previously identified halo substructures, and a number of independent substructures. This preliminary conclusion is further explored in an accompanying paper by Ruiz-Lara et al., where we also characterize the substructures in terms of their stellar populations.

description: In the NEO matrix, neuromusculoskeletal is classified by the anatomical complex affected. The complexes are arranged from distal to proximal in the lower extremity, inferior to superior in the trunk and head, and proximal to distal in the upper extremity. On the x-axis of the NEO matrix, injuries are characterized by the primary tissue type affected. Osseous injuries involve conditions of bone such as fractures. Articular injuries encompass any injuries involving the capsule, ligaments, or cartilage of diarthrodial or intervertebral articulations. Musculotendinous injuries involve conditions of the muscle or the tendinous attachments. Neural injuries involve the structures of the central or peripheral nervous system. Lastly, non-specific classification encompasses conditions that do not fit within the other categories. NEO categories are classified using ICD ICD-9 codes, with the corresponding ICD-10 codes provided using the crosswalk developed by the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10).

description: In Lövdal et al, we presented a data-driven method for clustering in Integrals of Motion space and applied it to a large sample of nearby halo stars with 6D phase-space information. We identified a large number of clusters, many of which could tentatively be merged into larger groups. Our goal is to establish the reality of the clusters through a combined study of their stellar populations to gain more insights into the accretion history of the Milky Way. We develop a procedure that quantifies the similarity of clusters based on KS tests using their metallicity distribution functions, and an isochrone fitting method to determine their average age, which is also used to compare the distribution of stars in the Colour-Absolute magnitude diagram. This allows us to group clusters into substructures, and to compare substructures with one another. The clusters identified are merged into 12 extended substructures, while 8 small clusters remain as such. The large substructures include the previously known Gaia-Enceladus, Helmi streams, Sequoia, and Thamnos 1 and 2. We identify overdensities associated with the hot thick disc and hosting a metal-poor population. Especially notable is our largest substructure which, although peaking at the metallicity characteristic of the thick disk has a well populated metal-poor component, and dynamics in-between hot thick disc and halo. We identify additional debris in the region occupied by Sequoia with distinct kinematics, likely remnants of three different accretion events with progenitors of similar mass. We also identify different trends of [Mg/Fe] vs [Fe/H] for the various substructures confirming our dissection of the nearby halo. At least 20\% of the halo near the Sun is associated to substructures. When comparing their global properties, we note that those substructures on retrograde orbits are not only more metal-poor on average but also older.

description: The openCost-project is funded by the German Research Foundation and was launched by the three project partners Bielefeld University Library, University Library Regensburg and DESY Central Library in 2022.
 The project's main goal is to promote standardized collecting of publication cost data in order to improve the transparency of costs within institutions and also enable inter-institutional cost comparisons. This kind of data includes publication-related fees like APCs or submission fees, but also costs from transformative OA agreements or memberships. The basic idea is to integrate financial data directly into repositories on record level, making it accessible together with the existing bibliographic metadata.
 For this purpose, a metadata schema was developed to comprehensively store and exchange data. This XML schema and how the partner institutions utilize it to enrich their repositories with publication cost data will be presented.
 An open interface for harvesting and querying via OAI-PMH is to be implemented and realized exemplarily on the publication servers of the universities of Bielefeld, Regensburg as well as DESY and its partner institutions of the shared repository infrastructure JOIN². Via OAI-PMH, service providers (e.g. aggregators and research funding agencies) can harvest data directly from the institutions. Within the project’s framework, this is demonstrated by the OpenAPC service (Bielefeld).
 By implementing a technical interface, the services of the Electronic Journals Library EZB (Regensburg) will also be extended to include detailed information on OA publication costs, to be finally used as a central information platform for communicating OA information to researchers.
 Overall, the development of the openCost standard is carried out with the involvement of national and international expertise, including continuous public discussion and feedback rounds on the agenda. Accordingly, openCost lives open science from the idea through the implementation phase to the target of comprehensive cost transparency in the scientific publication process.

description: During the New Space era small countries are becoming important players in the space business. While space activities are rapidly increasing globally, it is important to make operations in a sustainable and safe way in order to preserve satellite services for future generations. Unfortunately, the sustainability aspect has been largely overlooked in the existing surveys on space technologies. As a result, in this survey paper, we discuss the multi-layer networking approaches in the 6G era specifically from the sustainability perspective. Moreover, our comprehensive survey includes aspects of some interesting industrial, proprietary, and standardization views. We review the most important regulations and international guidelines and revisit a three-dimensional architecture vision to support the sustainability target for a variety of application areas. We then classify and discuss space safety paradigms that are important sustainability enablers of future satellite communications. These include space traffic management, debris detection, environmental impacts, spectrum sharing, and cyber security aspects. The paper also discusses advances towards a planned European connectivity constellation that could become a third flagship infrastructure along with the Galileo and Copernicus systems. Finally, we define potential research directions into the 2030s.

description: Project Purpose: Hydroxyurea is the first-line treatment for ameliorating symptoms caused by Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Multiple studies report hydroxyurea reduces the frequency of crises by 50% and can decrease hospitalization rates significantly and nonadherence to hydroxyurea is common in clinical practice. This quality improvement project aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to hydroxyurea medication adherence and develop concrete patient and provider recommendations to enhance medication adherence.Methodology: Based on review of the literature, the author developed an evidence-based structured assessment tool with 23 quantitative (Likert Scale) and three open-ended questions. Surveys were administered to patients aged 12 – 21 diagnosed with SCD prescribed hydroxyurea.Results: Of the 27 participants, the mean age was 17 years, and average times a week medication doses were missed was two. Participants identified barriers and facilitators to hydroxyurea adherence and through open-ended questions, participants shared recommendations to improve adherence such as reviewing lab results.Implications for Practice: Resourceful tips gleaned from the project included encouraging medication reminders (alarms), keeping a medication log, providing peer support, assessing and closing gaps related to challenges surrounding medication health insurance coverage and copay, and when indicated, offering information about catastrophic relief funds. The project was well-received by patients and the project site. Recommendations were put forward to revise the current workflow to include the hydroxyurea adherence assessment tool as standard of care and eventually, into the electronic medical record (EMR).

title: Reforming Nigeria's insolvency law: a tool for promoting access to credit
Creators: name: Nyemachi Andah, Edem
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examined Nigeria’s insolvency law as a tool for promoting access to credit. It reviewed relevant literature to show the method of capital formation and access to credit in Nigeria’s pre-colonial and colonial period. In the precolonial era, it showed that the indigenous credit system was unwritten; investment was in cash crops and personal labour. With the introduction of colonialism and banking systems, the indigenous credit institutions acquired some modern/innovative methods such as documentation of credit agreements, introduction of interest/high interest rates and forcible collection of debts. Colonialism also brought in its wake, legal transplantation. A record study formed part of the thesis. It adopted the survey method, using oral tradition, interviews and questionnaires to collect data. The population consisted of those who had utilized indigenous credit in Nigeria, using Rivers State as a case study. A sample of sixty participants was drawn from small and medium sized business owners. Only thirty-three responses were retrieved and analyzed. The result showed that there were doubts as to whether the indigenous credit arrangements can raise huge capital; most credits raised were not focused on production. It also showed that until the present day, the indigenous credit system was patronized by educated persons like university employees, and that professional money lenders were creations of colonialism, while indigenous money lending predated colonialism. The result also showed that whereas fifty-four percent had not obtained credit from banks or financial institutions, forty-two percent had obtained credit from indigenous credit sources. Also fifty-one percent of those that had not obtained loans from indigenous sources claimed that it was not due to accessibility problems, but due to the extortionist tendencies of the money lenders. It also identified that the desire to meet social responsibilities and to ‘survive’ has inflamed the need to create wealth sometimes through ‘get rich quick schemes’ which in turn has affected credit and enterprise. The thesis identified mechanisms adopted by the indigenous creditors to recover debts as: community action, extended family system, the Nigerian Police and juju shrine and witchcraft. It noted the inadequacy of Nigeria’s insolvency laws and advocated reforms which it stressed would serve as a collective debt recovery tool and also afford debtors the opportunity of a fresh start. It also recommended that there should be specialized insolvency law education and the use of intermediaries to facilitate education of Nigerians as to their rights and responsibilities as it pertains to insolvency issues.

description: The Court of Justice and the EU Treaties have gradually recognized among the principles to be pursued or the rights to be protected solidarity, economic and social cohesion, citizenship, human rights and, most recently, the Lisbon Treaty has equated the value of the Charter of Fundamental Rights to that of Treaties. This process has allowed a gradual shift of the centre of gravity of the Union from the original economic purpose, arising functionalist approach, to a political community perspective, designed also to protect those rights. Starting from this assumption the present essay, retracing the steps that led to the introduction of the euro, the Fiscal Compact and the framework of EU economic governance, looks into the issue of the compliance of this euro system with those principles and fundamental rights reaffirmed by the Union. This law economic and political verification is concluded with an exhortation to the revision of the EU economic governance, in the awareness of belonging to a common destiny, otherwise being the risk of a disintegration of the euro and perhaps the EU.

description: We compare different neural network architectures for Machine Learning (ML) algorithms designed to identify the neutrino interaction vertex position in the MINERvA detector. The architectures developed and optimized by hand are compared with the architectures developed in an automated way using the package "Multi-node Evolutionary Neural Networks for Deep Learning" (MENNDL), developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The two architectures resulted in a similar performance which suggests that the systematics associated with the optimized network architecture are small. Furthermore, we find that while the domain expert hand-tuned network was the best performer, the differences were negligible and the auto-generated networks performed well. There is always a trade-off between human, and computer resources for network optimization and this work suggests that automated optimization, assuming resources are available, provides a compelling way to save significant expert time.

description: Technology forcing is a strategy where a regulator specifies a standard that cannot be met with existing technology, or at least not at an acceptable cost. Using the 1970 U.S. Clean Air Act for controlling automobile emissions as a baseline example, we demonstrate the importance of the regulatory implementation process if regulations are to foster technological change. The 1970 legislation required steep emissions reductions for new 1975 and 1976 automobiles, which presented automakers with major technical and economic challenges. Nevertheless, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency successfully forced the adoption of two marquee control technologies—the catalytic converter in 1975 and the three-way catalyst in 1981. We focus on three factors critical to the implementation process: agency credibility to enforce standards, competitive pressures to drive industry research and development, and uncertainty about technological development.

description: Environmental resources -- the atmosphere, land. oceans, rivers and lakes -- provide us with many services, one of which is to serve as a sink for the disposal of wastes. Several disciplines have provided frameworks for examining the change in the environment due to energy extraction, generation, transmission and use. For example, ecologists have attempted to trace through the effects of each plant and animal species of adding given amounts of effluents. Our viewpoint is economic. and we attempt to investigate why quantities of effluents are discharged and what leads to the medium and place of discharge. Furthermore, we discuss procedures to quantify the economic cost of discharging effluents and trace out methods by which society could achieve a desirable balance between environmental quality and other social and economic objectives.
The next sections briefly review the economic theory of environmental resources and the use of benefit-cost analysis in environmental decision-making. Section IV reviews methods for determining the social cost of air and water pollutants stemming from energy extraction, generation, and use and provides some estimates of these costs. A final section presents a brief summary.

description: Sufficient saving is an important aspect of financial wellbeing. Yet, many people find it difficult to save enough to allow for financial stability. In recent years, insights from behavioral science have been successfully applied to address the issue of insufficient household saving. This study will take a similar approach, testing a cognitive strategy rooted in the psychological study of goal attainment, called Mental Contrasting (Oettingen and Reininger, 2016). Mental contrasting asks people to imagine a desired future, contrast it with the present reality that holds them back from achieving it, and formulate a plan for overcoming the barriers. The experiment will have a between-subject design with participants being current users of a savings app. App users will be randomized into a Mental Contrasting treatment and a control group, and will then be encouraged to make a deposit into their savings account. Data on the amount of saving following the intervention will be collected.

description: Bell's theorem is 50 years old. Still there is a controversy about its implications. Much of it has its roots in confusion regarding the premises from which the theorem can be derived. Some claim that a derivation of Bell's inequalities requires just locality assumption, and nothing more. Violations of the inequalities are then interpreted as ``nonlocality'' or ``quantum nonlocality''. We show that such claims are unfounded and that every derivation of Bell's inequalities requires a premise -- in addition to locality and freedom of choice -- which is either assumed tacitly, or unconsciously, or is embedded in a single compound condition (like Bell's ``local causality''). The premise is equivalent to the assumption of existence of additional variables which do not appear in the quantum formalism (in form of determinism, or joint probability for outcomes of all conceivable measurements, or ``additional causes`'', or ``hidden variables'', ``complete description of the state'' or counterfactual definiteness, etc.). A certain irony is that perhaps the main message of violation of Bell's inequalities is that our notion of locality should be based on an operationally well-defined no-signalling condition, rather than on local causality.

description: An observational, cross-cultural study and an experimental study assessed behaviors indicative of a moral code that condones, and even values, hostility toward outgroups. The cross-cultural study, which used data from the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample (Murdock & White, 1969), found that for preindustrial societies, as loyalty to the ingroup increased the tendency to value outgroup violence more than ingroup violence increased, as did the tendencies to engage in more external than internal warfare, and enjoy war. The experimental study found that relative to guilt-prone group members who were instructed to remain objective, guilt-prone group members who were instructed to be empathic with their ingroup were more competitive in an intergroup interaction. The findings from these studies suggest that group morality is associated with intergroup conflict.

description: NEGEM is an EU Horizon 2020 research project. The aim of NEGEM is to ‘filter’ the maximum theoretical deployment potential of CDR often portrayed in models (such as those of the IPCC) through a set of constraints to reduce the uncertainties associated with CDR and identify more realistic deployment potentials. These constraints include techno-economic and commercial barriers, environmental limits, and socio-political acceptance. The project seeks to identify the EU-wide potential of CDR deployment, along with the relevant governance frameworks to accommodate it in a Paris-compatible manner. The aim is to produce a more granular knowledge base to inform ongoing policymaking processes. This science-policy brief presents the current key findings of NEGEM.

description: Electron beam polarization in the bubble regime of the interaction between a high-intensity laser and a longitudinally pre-polarized plasma is investigated by means of the Thomas-Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equation. Using a test-particle model, the dependence of the accelerated electron polarization on the bubble geometry is analyzed in detail. Tracking the polarization dynamics of individual electrons reveals that although the spin direction changes during both the self-injection process and acceleration phase, the former has the biggest impact. For nearly spherical bubbles, the polarization of electron beam persists after capture and acceleration in the bubble. By contrast, for aspherical bubble shapes, the electron beam becomes rapidly depolarized, and the net polarization direction can even reverse in the case of a oblate spheroidal bubble. These findings are confirmed via particle-in-cell simulations.

description: We report on high-resolution terahertz spectroscopic studies of quantum spin dynamics in the quasi-one-dimensional Ising-like ferromagnet CoNb2O6 and antiferromagnet BaCo2V2O8 as a function of an applied transverse magnetic field. In the ordered phases stabilized by inter-chain couplings, we reveal characteristics for confined spinon excitations, E8 dynamical spectrum, and field-induced quantum phase transitions. The connections between these characteristic dynamical features are found in the field-dependent evolution of the excitation spectra.
