description: Multicellular organisms are habitat for a diverse bacterial community (microbiome) that can often be associated with host health and well-being. To better understand that relationship I explored several ecological aspects of the host-associated microbiomes using pre- and post-metamorphic amphibians. First, I investigated the relative roles of local selection (due to host species identity) and regional effects (due to water body identity) on the community structure of the gut microbiome of tadpoles. I found that each water body represents a relatively distinct species pool of bacteria available for community assembly, making the water body more important in shaping the microbiome of tadpoles than their species identity. I then showed that the gut microbiome of tadpoles is not homogeneous throughout its gut length as there are changes in composition, abundance, richness, and diversity from the anterior to the posterior parts of the gut. Moreover, the gut microbiome of the anterior portion is unstable, i.e., it is highly influenced by exposition to external bacteria, while the microbiome of the posterior gut has higher stability. The posterior part harbors the functional microbiome that helps tadpoles with digestion. In fact, I found that most of the essential amino acids in the tadpole tissue are derived from bacteria. I then manipulated their gut microbiome and diet and found that the composition of the microbiome can have profound impacts on the performance and fitness of the tadpole, as distinct microbiomes affect growth, development, and mortality of the host. Finally, as tadpoles metamorphose and leave the water, their microbiome is reshaped due to changes in conditions related to both the environment and the host. I tested and showed that closely related species of adult amphibians have a tendency to harbor similar skin microbiome, but the same signal was not found for their gut microbiome. In summary, I found that the gut of tadpoles harbor several distinct but connected microbiomes that vary in composition, diversity, and stability and that can profoundly affect the fitness of the host. Its composition is ultimately determined by the environmental bacteria tadpoles were exposed to. For adult amphibians, closely related species have more similar skin but not gut microbiome.

description: We present a magnetization study of low density YBCO ceramics carried out in magnetic fields 0.5 Oe < H < 50 kOe. It was demonstrated that superconducting links between grains may be completely suppressed either by a magnetic field of the order of 100 Oe (at low temperatures) or by an increase of temperature above 70 K. This property of present samples allowed to evaluate the ratio between an average grain size and the magnetic field penetration depth lambda. Furthermore, at temperatures T > 85 K, using low-field magnetization measurements, we could evaluate the temperature dependence of lambda, which turned out to be very close to predictions of the conventional Ginzburg-Landau theory. Although present samples consisted of randomly oriented grains, specifics of magnetization measurements allowed for evaluation of lambda_ab(T). Good agreement between our estimation of the grain size with the real sample structure provides evidence for the validity of this analysis of magnetization data. Measurements of equilibrium magnetization in high magnetic fields were used for evaluation of Hc2(T). At temperatures close to T_c, the Hc2(T) dependence turned out to be linear in agreement with the Ginzburg-Landau theory. The value of temperature, at which Hc2 vanishes, coincides with the superconducting critical temperature evaluated from low-field measurements.

description: Malaria parasites of the genus Polychromophilus commonly infect vespertilionid and miniopterid bats, and are transmitted by bat flies (Nycteribiidae). While Polychromophilus murinus has been recorded sporadically in Europe, its host range, distribution and phylogeographic structure have not been explored. Here we investigate the prevalence and genetic diversity of P. murinus infections in 1131 bat flies collected from seven European bat species, focusing on Basilia nana, collected from its primary host, the Bechstein's bat throughout its distribution. Additionally, we explore the temporal dynamics of P. murinus in two regions in Germany where bat flies were repeatedly collected over at least five years. Bat flies were screened for Polychromophilus infection via PCR of a fragment of cytochrome b, and fragments of three additional genes were sequenced for positive samples. Overall, P. murinus infections were detected in 287 of 1131 screened bat flies of four different species, collected from seven bat species, across 13 countries. The 269 recovered cytb sequences represented 21 distinct haplotypes, clustered based on the bat species from which the infected flies were collected. Repeated sampling over multiple years revealed a consistent presence of P. murinus in both investigated populations, without substantial variation in prevalence between years. The results suggest an endemic long-term presence of Polychromophilus within European bat populations, and the presence of host-specific associations between P. murinus lineages and its various bat hosts. We posit that exposure to P. murinus appears to be a near certainty in several European bat species, and its potential costs should be further investigated.
Spectral imbalance and the normalized dissipation rate of turbulence

description: The normalized turbulent dissipation rate $C_ε$ is studied in decaying and forced turbulence by direct numerical simulations, large-eddy simulations, and closure calculations. A large difference in the values of $C_ε$ is observed for the two types of turbulence. This difference is found at moderate Reynolds number, and it is shown that it persists at high Reynolds number, where the value of $C_ε$ becomes independent of the Reynolds number, but is still not unique. This difference can be explained by the influence of the nonlinear cascade time that introduces a spectral disequilibrium for statistically nonstationary turbulence. Phenomenological analysis yields simple analytical models that satisfactorily reproduce the numerical results. These simple spectral models also reproduce and explain the increase of $C_ε$ at low Reynolds number that is observed in the simulations.

description: The scattering of electromagnetic waves by resonant systems is determined by the excitation of quasinormal modes (QNMs), i.e., the eigenmodes of the system. This Review addresses three fundamental concepts in relation with the representation of the scattered field as a superposition of the excited QNMs: normalization, orthogonality, and completeness. Orthogonality and normalization enable a straightforward assessment of the QNM excitation strength for any incident wave. Completeness guaranties that the scattered field can be faithfully expanded into the QNM basis. These concepts are non-trivial for non-conservative (non-Hermitian) systems and have driven many theoretical developments since initial studies in the 70's. Yet, owing to recent achievements, they are not easily grasped from the extensive and scattered literature, especially for newcomers in the field. After recalling fundamental results obtained in early studies on the completeness of the QNM basis for simple resonant systems, we review recent achievements and debates on the normalization, clarify under which circumstances the QNM basis is complete, and highlight the concept of QNM regularization with complex coordinate transform.
Final results on nu_mu to nu_tau oscillation from the CHORUS experiment

description: The final oscillation analysis of the complete set of data collected by CHORUS in the years 1994--1997 is presented. Reconstruction algorithms of data extracted by electronic detectors were improved and the data recorded in the emulsion target were analysed by new automated scanning systems, allowing the use of a new method for event reconstruction in emulsion. CHORUS has applied these new techniques to the sample of 1996--1997 events for which no muons were observed in the electronic detectors. Combining the new sample with the data analysed in previous papers, the overall sensitivity of the experiment to the $ν_τ$ appearance is thus improved. In a two-neutrino mixing scheme, a 90% C.L. upper limit of $\sin^2 2θ_{μτ} < 4.4 \times 10^{-4}$ is set for large $Δm^2$, improving by a factor 1.5 the previously published CHORUS result.

description: SiO$_2$ may have been expelled from the core directly following core formation in the early stages of Earth's accretion and onwards through the present day. On account of SiO$_2$'s low density with respect to both the core and the lowermost mantle, we examine the process of SiO$_2$ accumulation at the core-mantle boundary (CMB) and its incorporation into the mantle by buoyant rise. Today, if SiO$_2$ is 100-10000 times more viscous than lower mantle material, the dimensions of SiO$_2$ diapirs formed by the viscous Rayleigh-Taylor instability at the CMB would cause them to be swept into the mantle as inclusions of 100 m - 10 km diameter. Under early Earth conditions of rapid heat loss after core formation, SiO$_2$ diapirs of ~1 km diameter could have risen independently of mantle flow to their level of neutral buoyancy in the mantle, trapping them there due to a combination of intrinsically high viscosity and neutral buoyancy. We examine the SiO$_2$ yield by assuming Si+O saturation at the conditions found at the base of a magma ocean and find that for a range of conditions, dispersed bodies could reach as high as 8.5 vol.% in parts of the lower mantle. At such low concentration, their effect on aggregate seismic wavespeeds is within observational seismology uncertainty. However, their presence can account for small-scale scattering in the lower mantle due to the bodies' large velocity contrast. We conclude that the shallow lower mantle (700-1500 km depth) could harbor SiO$_2$ released in early Earth times.

title: The Peasant Paints: expanding painting decolonially through planting and pigment-making
Creators: name: Holmwood, Sigrid Frida
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2021

description: My research proposes to expand painting by addressing its materiality and circulation through the relationship between painting and the figure of the peasant. I use the term peasant-painting to move between paintings-of-peasants and peasants-that-paint, countering dominant narratives of Western art history and re-appropriating the peasant as a transnational figure. I propose painting as a minor practice, following Deleuze and Guattari’s call for a minor literature and Chakrabarty’s call for attention to minor histories and subaltern pasts. It does not seek to construct an autonomous subject out of the peasant, but rather to disclose the political relationships embedded in the trajectory of Western European painting that were complicit in the construction of the modern self. It is therefore a decolonial move, as the Western European bourgeois tradition will be found to be just one provincial occurrence among many. The practice-based element of the thesis is centered on the construction of a pigment garden in Almeria, Spain. Painting is expanded into the field of cultivation, and the performance of pigment-making, as well as the paintings themselves. The choice of planting and re-appropriation of pigment-making technologies traces the colonial relationship between Spain and the Americas. My retrieval of the technology of Mayan blue, a pigment recently rediscovered after being ‘lost’ during the early colonial period, and my re-adaption of the recipe for use with European woad will be elaborated in the written thesis. I will use it to explore the links between the inward and outward coloniality of Western modernity, and its suppression of other knowledges, (de Sousa Santos) and other genres of humanity (Weheliye, Viveiros de Castro). I will propose re-enactment (conceived as experimental archaeology, rather than spectacle) as a possible strategy for the generation of alternative modes of painting practice.

description: In der Klimadebatte ist derzeit ein neomalthusianischer Reflex zu beobachten: Der Klimawandel wird über statistische Berechnungen in Zusammenhang mit einer wachsenden Weltbevölkerung gebracht, und Strategien der Geburtenkontrolle werden nahegelegt. Der Text diskutiert diese gefährliche Entwicklung kritisch: Untote Geister eines Denkens in der Kategorie ‚Bevölkerung‘ werden wiederbelebt, die untrennbar mit ihrer kolonialrassistischen und sozialdarwinistischen Geschichte verwickelt sind. Zunächst werden die Argumentationslinien sehr unterschiedlicher Akteur*innen rekonstruiert, die sich auf diese Rationalität einlassen: ein ökologischer Mainstream, der Bevölkerung als schädlichen ‚Faktor‘ berechnet, die extreme Rechte, für die biopolitische Argumentationsmuster eine Andockstelle an den Klimadiskurs darstellen, und feministische und klimaaktivistische Aufrufe zum ‚Gebärstreik‘. Daraufhin werden drei Dimensionen in diesen Argumentationslinien unterschieden: die abstrakte statistische Konstruktion eines Zuviels an menschlicher Bevölkerung, die historisch tief verwurzelte Zuschreibung dieses Zuviels an die ‚Anderen‘, sowie totalitäre Planungsvisionen einer global zu managenden ‚Fertilität‘. Im Schlussteil plädiert die Autorin aus einer Perspektive reproduktiver Gerechtigkeit für ein radikales Zurückweisen dieser Verknüpfung von Bevölkerung und Klimawandel.

description: There has been a consistent call to action to attract talented individuals to help bolster the STEM workforce. Yet, the lack of diversity of students attracted to STEM and the inability to retain them in the profession persists. Among STEM fields, engineering is a prime discipline for examining this challenge. However, treating engineering as one monolithic profession is both inaccurate and misleading as there are over 28 accredited engineering programs in the United States alone with varying levels of diversity based on student demographics. Nonetheless, engineering programs remain male-dominated; however, biomedical engineering (BME) is one such discipline with nearly equal proportions of men and women. BME is a unique case in which to study the intended post-graduation plans of undergraduate engineering students as degree holders have been cited to go on to work in a variety of careers in and outside of the engineering workforce. My aim in this dissertation is to address gaps in the biomedical engineering/engineering education literature on undergraduate women’s intended career choices and related implications. In doing so I problematize the binary and often deficit view of “stay or leave” as related to persistence in engineering and instead further contextualize choice by capturing the potentialities of students’ intended post-graduation plans. Drawing from Eccles’ Expectancy Value Theory and models of STEM Identity in engineering education, I investigate this issue. Using quantitative research methodologies, I explore the structural relationships between student gender and the motivational engineering attitudes of academic self-efficacy, interest, utility value, attainment value, and professional identity. Data was gathered from n=716 undergraduate biomedical engineering students from a large public research institution in the Southwestern United States. Using hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis, the results revealed students form five clusters of intended post-graduation plans: Engineering, Job, Non-engineering, All, and School. I further examined the composition of these clusters by student gender and classification; gender differences in engineering attitudes between clusters; and gender differences in engineering attitudes within clusters followed by structural equation models to assess the fit of gender and engineering attitudes as related to cluster membership. Implications and areas of future research are discussed.

description: Climate warming and the associated intensification of extreme climate events (such as droughts, heavy precipitation, and heatwaves) present challenges to plant growth. Plant growth is influenced by a number of factors such as soil moisture, water demand by plants, temperature sensitivity, growth stage, and by irrigation practices in the case of crops. The response of plant growth to extreme climate events across a range of growing periods, climate regions, and agricultural land types under different irrigation strategies remains unclear. This study utilizes ten extreme climate indices and six drought indices to predict plant growth outcomes, as indicated by the end-of-growing season Gross Primary Production (GPP), across different growing seasons in Europe from 2003 to 2020. This work examines the impact of extreme climate events on plant growth with a novel explainable LightGBM model. This model elucidates the contribution of such events to plant growth, and helps to identify their tipping points. This paper's results demonstrate that early-season soil moisture and extreme absolute temperatures are key predictors in forecasting the end-of-growing season GPP, indicating potential drought memory. Plant growth correlates highly with extreme climate events in arid, cold, and temperate climates. In arid climates the extreme precipitation amounts are the predominant predictor of end-of-growing season GPP. Agricultural drought plays a leading role in the model prediction results in cold climates. Extreme climate events have a more pronounced effect on plant growth yield in rainfed cropland and grasslands compared to irrigated croplands. The implementation of irrigation strategies involving human intervention would help mitigate the impact of extreme climate events on plant growth outcomes.

description: We establish existence of travelling waves to the gradient system $u_t = u_{zz} - \nabla W(u)$ connecting two minima of $W$ when $u : \R \times (0,\infty) \larrow \R^N$, that is, we establish existence of a pair $(U,c) \in [C^2(\R)]^N \by (0,\infty)$, satisfying \[ \{{array}{l} U_{xx} - \nabla W (U) = - c U_x U(\pm \infty) = a^{\pm}, {array}. \] where $a^{\pm}$ are local minima of the potential $W \in C_{\textrm{loc}}^2(\R^N)$ with $W(a^-)< W(a^+)=0$ and $N \geq 1$. Our method is variational and based on the minimization of the functional $E_c (U) = \int_{\R}\Big\{{1/2}|U_x|^2 + W(U) \Big\}e^{cx} dx$ in the appropriate space setup. Following Alikakos-Fusco \cite{A-F}, we introduce an artificial constraint to restore compactness and force the desired asymptotic behavior, which we later remove. We provide variational characterizations of the travelling wave and the speed. In particular, we show that $E_c(U)=0$.

description: This paper presents an investigation that compares and analyzes the interactions of three groups of pre-and-primary school children with three different storytelling systems. We identify emerging patterns through which they engaged in what we refer to as narrative computational thinking. The latter describes broadened aspects of narrative literacy practices that are linked to computational thinking. By applying a multicase study approach and through various vignettes, we illustrate how children applied computational thinking to understand and influence the narrative possibilities offered by the different tools. Our results illustrate circumstances under which digital storytelling activities provide a favorable basis for narrative computational thinking, and that when computational thinking functions as a scaffold for story creation, it encourages a blend of creativity and computational thinking, providing a compelling approach to introducing emerging digital literacies to young children in a narrative context.

description: A generalization of matrix product states (MPS) is introduced which is suitable for describing interacting quantum systems in two and three dimensions. These scale-renormalized matrix-product states (SR-MPS) are based on a course-graining of the lattice in which the blocks at each level are associated with matrix products that are further transformed (scale renormalized) with other matrices before they are assembled to form blocks at the next level. Using variational Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional transverse-field Ising model as a test, it is shown that the SR-MPS converge much more rapidly with the matrix size than a standard MPS. It is also shown that the use of lattice-symmetries speeds up the convergence very significantly.

Children, Identity and the Media: How Children as Active Audiences Make Use of their Favourite Screen Media Texts to Engage with their Saudi National Identity

description: Considering the vital role of popular media in the formation of societal structures, values and identities, and taking into account the importance of reinforcing the national identity of young Saudis within the Saudi Vision 2030 initiative, the study takes a critical cultural approach that focuses on children’s reception by exploring the ways in which they, as audiences, make use of their favourite screen media texts to engage with their Saudi national identity.
The subject was investigated from a qualitative inductive research standpoint. The study adopted a creative artwork method (drawings) and one-to-one semi-structured interviews conducted online through video calls to capture the children’s insights. The screen media texts that the children liked and spoke about also added another layer of contextual analysis. The fieldwork took place in October 2020 with a total of 17 participants (10 girls and 7 boys). The sample included Saudi children aged 7 and 8 years (equivalent to 8 and 9 years in the Islamic/ Hijri calendar) living in different locations in Saudi Arabia.
Societal–social–cognitive–motivational theory (Barrett, 2007; Barrett and Davis, 2008) and the British object relations tradition in psychoanalytic psychology were central to the understanding of childhood self-development and sense of identity in this study. In addition, the work was strongly informed by the process of imagining nations (Anderson, 1983, 2006) and also drew on work on banal nationalism (Billig, 1995) and the discussion of representation and the media (Hall, 1997).
Thematic and semiotic analysis were applied, and the findings demonstrated that distinct gendered differences were fundamental to the participants’ conceptualisation of their identities.
Even though the Saudi child participants apparently constructed their sense of self in line with the traditional concepts of masculinity and femininity in the Middle East, the data revealed that the female participants, unlike their male counterparts, did not fully adhere to these gendered roles and traditions. Alongside the gender discourses, the data showed that religion (Islam) and loyalty to the country’s rulers are key components of Saudi children’s understanding of theirnational identity. The findings also revealed that the communication process between media and child audiences is more complicated than a direct cause-and-effect relationship, since the children brought elements of themselves to the reading and interpretation of the Western media texts that they liked and had chosen as their favourites. Conducting this child-based research in an Arab/Muslim context in Saudi Arabia adds to the existing knowledge and understanding of childhood and contributes to the gap in media audience research, particularly in the Middle East.

description: Bei Regelverstößen in Erziehungsheimen setzten in unterschiedlichen Akzentuierungen Wahrheitspraktiken zur Klärung der Ereignisse ein. Am Beispiel des Fortlaufens aus dem Schweizer Landerziehungsheim für „schwererziehbare“ Knaben Albisbrunn untersucht der Beitrag in praxeologischer Perspektive für zwei Zeiträume im 20. Jahrhundert (1938–1952 und 1968–1982), mit welchen konkreten Praktiken (etwa Verhöre, Berichte, Isolation), Wahrheit über die Zeit der Flucht hervorgebracht und stabilisiert werden sollte. Sowohl Kontinuität als auch Wandel der Wahrheitspraktiken, die mitunter auf den Körper der Zöglinge zielten, werden so nachvollziehbar gemacht. Abschließend wird die Bedeutung von Wahrheitspraktiken, mit einem besonderen Fokus auf die Pädagogisierung von Regelverletzungen diskutiert. Dabei zeigt sich, dass sich die Möglichkeiten der pädagogischen Bearbeitung von Flucht innerhalb des Heims über das 20. Jahrhundert hinweg veränderten, jedoch abhängig von stabilen Praktiken der Wahrheitsfindung blieben.

description: The evolution of the turbulent energy spectrum for the inviscid spectrally truncated Euler equations is studied by closure calculations. The observed behavior is similar to the one found in direct numerical simulations [Cichowlas, Bonaïtiti, Debbasch, and Brachet, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 264502 (2005)]. A Kolmogorov spectral range and an equipartition range are observed simultaneously. Between these two ranges a "quasi-dissipative" zone is present in the kinetic energy spectrum. The time evolution of the wave number that marks the beginning of the equipartition range is analyzed and it is shown that spectral nonlocal interactions are governing this evolution.
Using X-ray observations to identify the particle acceleration mechanisms in VHE SNRs and "dark" VHE sources

description: Very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations have proven to be very successful in localizing Galactic acceleration sites of VHE particles. Observations of shell-type supernova remnants have confirmed that particles are accelerated to VHE energies in supernova blast waves; the interpretation of the gamma-ray data in terms of hadronic or leptonic particle components in these objects relies nevertheless strongly on input from X-ray observations. The largest identified Galactic VHE source class consists of pulsar wind nebulae, as detected in X-rays. Many of the remaining VHE sources remain however unidentified until now. With X-ray observations of these enigmatic "dark" objects one hopes to solve the following questions: What is the astrophysical nature of these sources? Are they predominantly electron or hadron accelerators? And what is their contribution to the overall cosmic ray energy budget? The paper aims to provide an overview over the identification status of the Galactic VHE source population.

Constraining Axion-Like-Particles with Hard X-ray Emission from Magnetars

description: Axion-like particles (ALPs) produced in the core of a magnetar will convert to photons in the magnetosphere, leading to possible signatures in the hard X-ray band. We perform a detailed calculation of the ALP-to-photon conversion probability in the magnetosphere, recasting the coupled differential equations that describe ALP-photon propagation into a form that is efficient for large scale numerical scans. We show the dependence of the conversion probability on the ALP energy, mass, ALP-photon coupling, magnetar radius, surface magnetic field, and the angle between the magnetic field and direction of propagation. Along the way, we develop an analytic formalism to perform similar calculations in more general $n$-state oscillation systems. Assuming ALP emission rates from the core that are just subdominant to neutrino emission, we calculate the resulting constraints on the ALP mass versus ALP-photon coupling space, taking SGR 1806-20 as an example. In particular, we take benchmark values for the magnetar radius and core temperature, and constrain the ALP parameter space by the requirement that the luminosity from ALP-to-photon conversion should not exceed the total observed luminosity from the magnetar. The resulting constraints are competitive with constraints from helioscope experiments in the relevant part of ALP parameter space.

description: The quasiclassical solution to the extended Toda chain hierarchy, corresponding to the deformation of the simplest Seiberg-Witten theory by all descendants of the dual topological string model, is constructed explicitly in terms of the complex curve and generating differential. The first derivatives of prepotential or quasiclassical tau-function over the extra times, extending the Toda chain, are expressed through the multiple integrals of the Seiberg-Witten one-form. We derive the corresponding quasiclassical Virasoro constraints, discuss the functional formulation of the problem and propose generalization of the extended Toda hierarchy to the nonabelian theory.

description: The focusing of the radiation generated by a polarization current with a superluminally rotating distribution pattern is of a higher order in the plane of rotation than in other directions. Consequently, our previously published asymptotic approximation to the value of this field outside the equatorial plane breaks down as the line of sight approaches a direction normal to the rotation axis, i.e., is nonuniform with respect to the polar angle. Here we employ an alternative asymptotic expansion to show that, though having a rate of decay with frequency (mu) that is by a factor of order mu^(2/3) slower, the equatorial radiation field has the same dependence on distance as the nonspherically decaying component of the generated field in other directions: it, too, diminishes as the inverse square root of the distance from its source. We also briefly discuss the relevance of these results to the giant pulses received from pulsars: the focused, nonspherically decaying pulses that arise from a superluminal polarization current in a highly magnetized plasma have a power-law spectrum (i.e., a flux density proportional to mu^alpha) whose index (alpha) is given by one of the values -2/3, -2, -8/3, or -4.
