description: Understanding how various external campaigns or events affect readership on Wikipedia is important to efforts aimed at improving awareness and access to its content. In this paper, we consider how to build time-series models aimed at predicting page views on Wikipedia with the goal of detecting whether there are significant changes to the existing trends. We test these models on two different events: a video campaign aimed at increasing awareness of Hindi Wikipedia in India and the page preview feature roll-out---a means of accessing Wikipedia content without actually visiting the pages---on English and German Wikipedia. Our models effectively estimate the impact of page preview roll-out, but do not detect a significant change following the video campaign in India. We also discuss the utility of other geographies or language editions for predicting page views from a given area on a given language edition.

description: A quasi-potential approximation to the Navier-Stokes equation for low viscosity fluids is developed to study pattern formation in parametric surface waves driven by a force that has two frequency components. A bicritical line separating regions of instability to either one of the driving frequencies is explicitly obtained, and compared with experiments involving a frequency ratio of 1/2. The procedure for deriving standing wave amplitude equations valid near onset is outlined for an arbitrary frequency ratio following a multiscale asymptotic expansion of the quasi-potential equations. Explicit results are presented for subharmonic response to a driving force of frequency ratio 1/2, and used to study pattern selection. Even though quadratic terms are prohibited in this case, hexagonal or triangular patterns are found to be stable in a relatively large parameter region, a fact that is in qualitative agreement with experimental results.

description: Energetic charged particles generated by inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions encode information about the spatial morphology of the hot-spot and dense fuel during the time of peak fusion reactions. The knock-on deuteron imager (KoDI) was developed at the Omega Laser Facility to image these particles in order to diagnose low-mode asymmetries in the hot-spot and dense fuel layer of cryogenic deuterium--tritium ICF implosions. However, the images collected are distorted in several ways that prevent reconstruction of the deuteron source. In this paper we describe these distortions and a series of attempts to mitigate or compensate for them. We present several potential mechanisms for the distortions, including a new model for scattering of charged particles in filamentary electric or magnetic fields surrounding the implosion. Particle-tracing is used to create synthetic KoDI data based on the filamentary field model that reproduces the main experimentally observed image distortions. We conclude that the filamentary scattering model best matches the observed image distortions. Finally, we discuss potential impacts of filamentary fields on other charged-particle diagnostics.

description: В настоящей статье анализируется субсидиарная ответственность контролирующих лиц должника в российском праве как снятие корпоративной вуали в зарубежном праве. Рассмотрена доктрина «снятия корпоративной вуали» в рамках различных подходов к ее применению, правовому регулированию, в различных правовых системах романо-германской и англосаксонской семьи, выявлены общие тенденции ее развития. Анализируется проблема целесообразности ее применения, и имплементации наилучших наработок в российскую правовую систему, на основе мнения ученых и опыта зарубежных государств. Автор приходит к выводу о целесообразности внедрения доктрины «снятия корпоративной вуали» в законодательство РФ для дальнейшего развития института субсидиарной ответственности контролирующих лиц должника в российском праве. Показано, что для ее внедрения, необходимо учитывать ее «исключительность», и законодательно нужно предусмотреть строгие условия, только лишь при наличии которых, ее применение будет возможно.
Rechtliche, medizinische und ethische Aspekte einer fürsorgerischen Unterbringung während einer akuten Phase einer Schizophrenie

Year: 2021

description: In dieser Arbeit wird mittels Literaturrecherche untersucht, welche rechtlichen, medizinischen und ethischen Aspekte für oder gegen eine fürsorgerische Unterbringung (FU) in einer akuten psycho-tischen Phase einer Schizophrenie sprechen. Beigezogen werden die einschlägigen Gesetze, die Rechtsprechung und Lehre, wie auch Literatur der Disziplinen Medizin, Geschichte und Ethik. Neben dem Krankheitsbild Schizophrenie werden das Verfahren sowie die Beschwerdemöglichkeiten bei der Anordnung einer ärztlichen FU und bei Zwangsbehandlungen beschrieben. Zuständig für die Anordnung einer FU ist die KESB oder für eine maximal sechs Wochen dauernde Einweisung gewisse Ärztinnen und Ärzte gemäss kantonal unterschiedlichen Regelungen. Eine FU darf aus rechtlicher Sicht nur als ultima ratio angeordnet werden, unter der Voraussetzung, dass eine psychische Störung, geistige Behinderung oder eine Verwahrlosung vorliegt, welche eine Behandlung oder Betreuung erfordert, die nicht anders als durch den Entzug der Freiheit gewährleistet werden kann. Im Falle der akuten psychotischen Krise kann von einer Behandlungsbedürftigkeit ausgegangen werden. Inwieweit eine FU zum Zweck der Behandlung anhand der Verhältnismässigkeitsprüfung erforderlich, geeignet und zumutbar ist, kann nur im Einzelfall beurteilt werden. Sind alle Voraussetzungen erfüllt, muss eine FU angeordnet werden. Aus ethischer Sicht geht es primär um das Abwägen zwischen den Prinzipien Selbstbestimmung, Schadensvermeidung, Wohltun (Fürsorge) und Gerechtigkeit. Bei der medizinischen Perspektive stehen das Heilen und Lindern im Zentrum. Daher ist ergänzend zu den rechtlichen Aspekten zu berücksichtigen, welches Vorgehen den langfristigen Behandlungserfolg am besten gewährleistet. Offene Fragen ergeben sich vor allem aufgrund des grossen Ermessensspielraums und aufgrund der Auslegungsbedürftigkeit der rechtlichen Begriffe. Dies alles trägt im Spannungsfeld widersprüchlicher Auffassungen dazu bei, dass sich Entscheidungen für oder gegen eine FU als komplex und schwierig gestalten.

description: The categories of real and of complex Hilbert spaces with bounded linear maps have received purely categorical characterisations by Chris Heunen and Andre Kornell. These characterisations are achieved through Solèr's theorem, a result which shows that certain orthomodularity conditions on a Hermitian space over an involutive division ring result in a Hilbert space with the division ring being either the reals, complexes or quaternions. The characterisation by Heunen and Kornell makes use of a monoidal structure, which in turn excludes the category of quaternionic Hilbert spaces. We provide an alternative characterisation without the assumption of monoidal structure on the category. This new approach not only gives a new characterisation of the categories of real and of complex Hilbert spaces, but also the category of quaternionic Hilbert spaces.

description: DESCRIPTION OF TURICIBACTER BILIS SP. NOV.
 Turicibacter bilis (bi'lis. L. gen. n. bilis of bile).
Strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive, catalase-negative, non-motile, spore-forming, pleomorphic micro-organisms. Supplementation of media with 0.1% (v/v) chicken bile induces spore germination. Growth is poor in broth alone, but improves significantly in biphasic media or broth with an agar plug. Cells primarily exist as long chains of irregular rods (0.8–8.2×0.5–2.0 μm) or as individual or clusters of coccoid cells (1.0–2.3 μm). The organism is capable of growth between 30–45 °C and at pH 6.5–8.5, with optimums of 42 °C and pH 7.5, respectively. Colonies are visible on BHIGL agar after 1–2 days and appear as small to mediumsized irregularly shaped, umbonate colonies with undulating margins, with the raised centre an opaque white that transitions to a translucent tan or grey at the margins. Colonies are 2.5–5.0 mm after 3 days at 42 °C. The primary fermentation end products are acetate, butyrate and lactate. The organism is positive for arginine and gelatin biochemical reactivity.
 The type strain is MMM721 T and was isolated from the surface of a chicken eggshell (= ATCC TSD-238 T = CCUG 74757 T). The genome is 2.7 Mb with a G+C content of 34.4mol%.

description: This dissertation is comprised of three recent original compositions- Dis Un Il Im Ir, In sin fin bin din bin fin sin in, and Percussion+Guitar. Each work has a unique approach to integrating instrumental performance with humans and computers. The essay component details unique computer-performer interactions I’ve developed to overcome complications in the concert presentation of previous acousmatic and mixed media works. The three works discussed here are related in their instrumentation and compositional style.
      Dis Un Il Im Ir (2013), for flute, piano, and MIDI keyboard, experiments with the limit of human virtuosity and attempts to extend its affect via sound synthesis and digital samples. In sin fin bin din bin fin sin in (2104), for four computer-controlled pianos with electronic sounds, focuses on repeated melodic and harmonic patterns explored in previous works contrasted with unruly mechanical spasms. Percussion+Guitar (2015), for two computer-controlled flutes (contrary to the title), features a specially designed instrument built at Columbia University’s Computer Music Center. This composition is a duet with a structure defined by heightened rhythmic angularity and blazing fast speeds demonstrating the computer's special skills as a performer.
      The essay part of this dissertation includes an analysis of the pitches, rhythms, and gestures where appropriate. I provide details about the artistic uses of software and hardware for each project. I trace my artistic inspirations for composing with and for computers and robots to my experiences in acousmatic music, pop production, and hands-on music making. I describe my process of organizing contrasting sounds into form-bearing elements- an approach inspired by Pierre Schaeffer’s typomorphology of sound objects later revisited by Lasse Thoresen. The paper concludes with a brief discussion about future works.

description: Quantization is not a straightforward proposition, as shown by Groenewold's and Van Hove's discovery, more than fifty years ago, of an "obstruction" to quantization. Their "no-go theorems" assert that it is impossible to consistently quantize every classical polynomial observable on the phase space R^{2n} in a physically meaningful way. Similar obstructions have been found for S^2 and T*S^1, buttressing the common belief that no-go theorems should hold in some generality. Surprisingly, this is not so--it has been proven that there are no obstructions to quantizing either T^2 or T*R_+. In this paper we work towards delineating the circumstances under which such obstructions will appear, and understanding the mechanisms which produce them. Our objectives are to conjecture--and in some cases prove--generalized Groenewold-Van Hove theorems, and to determine the maximal Lie subalgebras of observables which can be consistently quantized. This requires a study of the structure of Poisson algebras and their representations. To these ends we include an exposition of both prequantization (in an extended sense) and quantization theory, here formulated in terms of "basic algebras of observables." We then review in detail the known results for R^{2n}, S^2, T*S^1, T^2, and T*R_+, as well as recent theoretical work.

description: This history of Samoa breaks new ground in using largely neglected Samoan and German language sources. The history examines the relationship between spiritual and temporal power in Samoa and concentrates on Samoan motivations and Samoans themselves. The narrative focuses most particularly on the aitu Nafanua - a powerful female ancestor god whose will and suggestions, received through her spirit mediums, enabled the family she speaks through to take action and bring about changes in the Malo or Government. She acts not only as harbinger of change, but also spiritually legitimizes changes in the Samoan polity...

description: A knot $κ$ in $S^3$ is persistently foliar if, for each non-trivial boundary slope, there is a co-oriented taut foliation meeting the boundary of the knot complement transversely in a foliation by curves of that slope. For rational slopes, these foliations may be capped off by disks to obtain a co-oriented taut foliation in every manifold obtained by non-trivial Dehn surgery on that knot. We show that any composite knot with a persistently foliar summand is persistently foliar and that any nontrivial connected sum of fibered knots is persistently foliar. As an application, it follows that any composite knot in which each of two summands is fibered or at least one summand is nontorus alternating or Montesinos is persistently foliar. We note that, in constructing foliations in the complements of fibered summands, we build branched surfaces whose complementary regions agree with those of Gabai's product disk decompositions, except for the one containing the boundary of the knot complement. It is this boundary region which provides for persistence.

description: Предметом исследования выступают уголовно-правовые нормы, связанные с реализацией уголовной ответственности, образующие систему предупредительных мер уголовноправового характера, а также практика применения данных норм в целях предупреждения повторной преступности осужденных. В статье автором анализируются дискуссионные вопросы определения понятий «уголовно-правовые меры», «уголовно-правовое воздействие», «наказание», «иные меры уголовно-правового характера», определения их сущности, а также предупредительного потенциала. Рассматриваются различные мнения авторов по поводу укрупнения целей наказания, а также обосновывается точка зрения о нецелесообразности дополнения и корректировки целей наказания, которая в свою очередь подтверждается эмпирическими данными. Помимо этого в данном исследовании анализируются различные позиции по поводу систематизации мер уголовно-правового характера представленные в научных работах. Анализ практики применения исследуемых мер, а также проведенное анкетирование респондентов из числа осужденных, позволило подтвердить предупредительный эффект исследуемых мер уголовно-правового характера. В процессе подготовки статьи последовательно применялись различные общенаучные и частно-научные методы познания. Применение указанных методов позволило комплексно провести исследование. Результатом проведенного анализа явилось выявление правовой природы уголовно-правовых мер, а также их основных признаков. Сформулирован вывод относительно предупредительных мер уголовно-правового характера, цель которых связана с исправлением лиц, совершивших преступление или с предупреждением совершения новых преступлений.

При этом делается акцент на основных характеристиках данных документов и приводятся рассуждения об их устойчивости. Автором сделан вывод, что система международно-правовых норм в области сохранения климата с 1992 года по настоящее время еще не достигла устойчивого состояния. Для достижения устойчивости подобной системы с течением времени должен сформироваться баланс между: поставленной в документах целью (ее практической достижимостью), экономическими, политическими отношениями между группами государств со схожими интересами, уровнем убежденности всех сторон в необходимости общих усилий по сохранению климата.

description: The success of language models, especially transformer-based architectures, has trickled into other domains giving rise to "scientific language models" that operate on small molecules, proteins or polymers. In chemistry, language models contribute to accelerating the molecule discovery cycle as evidenced by promising recent findings in early-stage drug discovery. Here, we review the role of language models in molecular discovery, underlining their strength in de novo drug design, property prediction and reaction chemistry. We highlight valuable open-source software assets thus lowering the entry barrier to the field of scientific language modeling. Last, we sketch a vision for future molecular design that combines a chatbot interface with access to computational chemistry tools. Our contribution serves as a valuable resource for researchers, chemists, and AI enthusiasts interested in understanding how language models can and will be used to accelerate chemical discovery.

Composition (Music)

description: The search for alternative approaches to time outside of the Western concert music tradition has provided inspiration for many contemporary composers. This essay is a brief examination of temporal models taken from traditional Chinese guqin music. Focusing on the famous composition Flowing Waters, the study looks at aspects of temporality in the piece: the use of traditional notation (the jianzipu spectrum as well as brush-painting illustrations) with transcribed comparisons of individual interpretations, various finger-sliding techniques, the dual melodic and harmonic roles of single lines, and even the tuning system as a path toward revealing a new way of composed time, that which reflects the aesthetics of brush-stroke calligraphy, brush-painting, and ancient Chinese philosophical views on nature and the arts. Continual movement of textures, fluidity of materials, organic transitions, and gradual growth and decay of sound in space are the unique characteristics of this piece that become the main focus of the analysis.

description: The shelling of crystals is concerned with counting the number of atoms on spherical shells of a given radius and a fixed centre. Its straight-forward generalization to quasicrystals, the so-called central shelling, leads to non-universal answers. As one way to cope with this situation, we consider shelling averages over all quasicrystal points. We express the averaged shelling numbers in terms of the autocorrelation coefficients and give explicit results for the usual suspects, both perfect and random.

description: This thesis examines the role of inter-judisdictional institutions in the Murray-Darling Basin and discusses the potential impact of the National Water Initiative approved by the Council of Australian Governments in June 2004. Over the last century there have been two periods during which decision makers attempted to craft or re-craft interjurisdictional water management arrangements to suit the priorities of their times. This thesis suggests that the early twenty-first century shuold be another, Central is the argument that despite attempts to introduce a form of coordinated basin-wide management in the early twentieth century and in the 1980s, the record since then has been dominated by efforts to maximise state autonomy at significant and growing environmental cost to the region as a whole. The issues involved will be examined in the context of the Australian federal system and a discussion about the nature of the changes needed to implement more environmentally sustainable management. ...

description: This paper presents a novel leaderless protocol (FPC-BI: Fast Probabilistic Consensus within Byzantine Infrastructures) with a low communicational complexity and which allows a set of nodes to come to a consensus on a value of a single bit. The paper makes the assumption that part of the nodes are Byzantine, and are thus controlled by an adversary who intends to either delay the consensus, or break it (this defines that at least a couple of honest nodes come to different conclusions). We prove that, nevertheless, the protocol works with high probability when its parameters are suitably chosen. Along this the paper also provides explicit estimates on the probability that the protocol finalizes in the consensus state in a given time. This protocol could be applied to reaching consensus in decentralized cryptocurrency systems. A special feature of it is that it makes use of a sequence of random numbers which are either provided by a trusted source or generated by the nodes themselves using some decentralized random number generating protocol. This increases the overall trustworthiness of the infrastructure. A core contribution of the paper is that it uses a very weak consensus to obtain a strong consensus on the value of a bit, and which can relate to the validity of a transaction.

description: In the positive column of a neon glow discharge, two different types of ionization waves occur simultaneously. The low-dimensional chaos arising from the nonlinear interaction between the two waves is controlled by a continuous feedback technique. The control strategy is derived from the time-delayed autosynchronization method. Two spatially displaced points of observation are used to obtain the control information, using the propagation characteristics of the chaotic wave.

description: An ideal $I \subset \mathbb{k}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ is said to have linear powers if $I^k$ has a linear minimal free resolution, for all $k$. In this paper we study the Betti numbers of $I^k$, for ideals $I$ with linear powers. The Betti numbers are computed explicitly, as polynomials in $k$, for the ideal generated by all square free monomials of degree $d$, for $d=2, 3$ or $n-1$, and the product of all ideals generated by $s$ variables, for $s=n-1$ or $n-2$. We also study the generators of the Rees ideal, for ideals with linear powers. Especially, we are interested in ideals for which the Rees ideal is generated by quadratic elements. This is related to a conjecture on matroids by White.

description: The ITk is a new silicon tracker for the ATLAS experiment designed to increase detector resolution, readout capacity, and radiation hardness, in preparation for the larger number of simultaneous proton-proton interactions at the High Luminosity LHC. This paper presents the first direct measurement of the material budget of an ATLAS ITk pixel module, performed at a testbeam at the CERN Proton Synchrotron via the multiple scattering of low energy positrons within the module volume. Using a four plane telescope of thin monolithic pixel detectors from the MALTA collaboration, scattering datasets were recorded at a beam energy of $1.2\,\text{GeV}$. Kink angle distributions were extracted from tracks derived with and without information from the ITk pixel module, and were fit to extract the RMS scattering angle, which was converted to a fractional radiation length $x/X_0$. The average $x/X_0$ across the module was measured as $[0.89 \pm 0.01 \text{ (resolution)} \pm 0.01 \text{ (subtraction)} \pm 0.08 \text{ (beam momentum band)}]\%$, which agrees within uncertainties with an estimate of $0.88\%$ derived from material component expectations.

description: Wide bandgap semiconductors are currently considered as the building blocks which revolutionized many areas of nanoscience and nanotechnologies. Among them, silicon carbide has been quickly emerging as one of the most interesting materials due to its remarkable physical, chemical, mechanical, electrical properties along with its biocompatibility and its feasibility for a wafer-scale production using standard MEMS processes. Inspired by these advantages, considerable number of studies have been devoted to the development of various SiC-based electronic devices over the past years. Despite these great achievements, however, it is realized that existing sensing devices usually rely on SiC in the forms of bulk or thin film, which still exhibit relatively poor sensitivity and unstable operation due to the limitation of their surface-to-volume ratios. Another key bottleneck of these existing sensing devices lies in the impossibility to integrate SiC onto soft and stretchable substrates due to its rigid and brittle nature, which significantly hamper the broader applications of SiC in the fast-emerging field of bioelectronics. Therefore, the research activities in the framework of my Ph.D. candidature aimed to establish reliable and sustainable protocols to overcome these two critical challenges. The focuses of my research work are placed on the fabrication of SiC nanowires on SiO2 insulators and stretchable SiC microstructures integrated onto polymeric substrates with a high level of structural perfection. Towards these goals, I have successfully fabricated Si NWs on insulator by using a combination of electron beam lithography and thermal wet oxidation techniques. The temperature sensing devices based on SiC NWs exhibit a high TCR compared to their bulk counterparts. On the other hand, I successfully established an effective protocol to transfer rigid SiC microstructures onto polymeric substrates and subsequently, enhanced their stretchability by taking advantages of structural design approaches.

description: Gastrointestinal diarrhea is majorly caused by the rotavirus (RV) in the children who generally are under the age group of 5 years. WHO estimates that ∼95% of the children contract RV infection, by this age. The disease is highly contagious; notably in many cases, it is proven fatal with high mortality rates especially in the developing countries. In India alone, an estimated 145,000 yearly deaths occurs due to RV related gastrointestinal diarrhea. WHO pre-qualified vaccines that are available for RV are all live attenuated vaccines with modest efficacy range between 40 and 60%. Further, the risk of intussusceptions has been reported in some children on RV vaccination. Thus, in a quest to develop alternative candidate to overcome challenges associated with these oral vaccines, we chose immunoinformatics approach to design a multi-epitope vaccine (MEV) while targeting the outer capsid viral proteinsVP4 and VP7 of the neonatal strains of rotavirus. Interestingly, ten epitopes, that is, six CD8+T-cells and four CD4+T-cell epitopes were identified which were predicted to be antigenic, non-allergic, non-toxic and stable. These epitopes were then linked to adjuvants, linkers, and PADRE sequences to create a multi-epitope vaccine for RV. The in silico designed RV-MEV and human TLR5 complex displayed stable interactions during molecular dynamics simulations. Further, the immune simulation studies of RV-MEV corroborated that the vaccine candidate emerges as a promising immunogen. Future investigations while performing in vitro and in vivo analyses with designed RV-MEV construct are highly desirable to warrant the potential of this vaccine candidate in protective immunity against different strains of RVs infecting neonates.

description: We study the density of the roots of the derivative of the characteristic polynomial Z(U,z) of an N x N random unitary matrix with distribution given by Haar measure on the unitary group. Based on previous random matrix theory models of the Riemann zeta function zeta(s), this is expected to be an accurate description for the horizontal distribution of the zeros of zeta'(s) to the right of the critical line. We show that as N --> infinity the fraction of roots of Z'(U,z) that lie in the region 1-x/(N-1) <= |z| < 1 tends to a limit function. We derive asymptotic expressions for this function in the limits x --> infinity and x --> 0 and compare them with numerical experiments.

title: Performing Welshness in the Chubut Province of Patagonia, Argentina
Creators: name: Trotter, Lucy Ellen
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2020

description: In 1865, a group of 153 Welsh settlers emigrated to Argentina, following an offer from the Argentine government of 100 square miles of land on which to live, with the hope of creating a little Wales away from Wales, free from the influence of the English. The thesis explores the historical and present day implications of this emigration through an ethnographic account of how and why Welshness is created, sustained, and performed in the Chubut Province of Patagonia, Southern Argentina. The thesis is based on eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in the village of Gaiman and surrounding areas with a community of Welsh Patagonians who live in the Chubut Province. It argues that individual and collective subjectivity (of both the Welsh self and the broader community as Welsh) was performatively constituted in the settler colony through the dynamics of seeing and being seen, and through the dynamics of hearing and being heard. In making this argument, it moves beyond the sole focus on linguistic and visual metaphors in work on subjectivation, to consider the possibility and implications of a musical subjectivation, seeking throughout to draw out the tensions between the personal relations of belonging created by this subjectivation and the broader political power dynamics in the performance of Welshness. The argument unfolds through an ethnographic analysis of several different encounters: encounters between Indigenous Tehuelche (who were the original inhabitants of the land that was colonised) and the Welsh settlers as depicted in media, literature, academia, and through stories told in present-day Patagonia, encounters between tourists from Wales and local Welsh Patagonians in choir rehearsals in Gaiman Music School, encounters between the Welsh Patagonians and their own performances as Welsh as they watch films of 5 themselves during film-nights in Gaiman, encounters between music and community in Gaiman Music School in terms of the role of music in creating a homogenous and coherent Welsh community, encounters between the self and the ideal musical ‘I’ during acts of musical self-cultivation, and finally the heightened performance of these encounters in the annual Eisteddfod (a Welsh festival of the arts) which was held in the province.
Double Quantum Dot scenario for spin resonance in current noise

description: We show that interference between parallel currents through two quantum dots, in presence of spin orbit interactions and strong on-site Coulomb repulsion, leads to resonances in current noise at the corresponding Larmor frequencies. An additional resonance at the difference of Larmor frequencies is present even without spin-orbit interaction. The resonance lines have strength comparable to the background shot noise and therefore can account for the numerous observations of spin resonance in STM noise with non-polarized leads. We solve also several other models that show similar resonances.
