description: In this paper, we focused on using deep learning methods for detecting money laundering in financial transaction networks, in order to demonstrate that it can be used as a complement or instead of the more commonly used rule based systems and conventional Anti-Money Laundering (AML) systems. The paper explores the pivotal role played by Anti-Money Laundering (AML) activities in the global financial industry. It underscores the drawbacks of conventional AML systems, which exhibit high rates of false positives and lack the sophistication to uncover intricate money laundering schemes. To tackle these challenges, the paper proposes an advanced AML system that capitalizes on link analysis using Deep Learning techniques. At the heart of this system lies the utilization of centrality algorithms like Degree Centrality, Closeness Centrality, Betweenness Centrality, and PageRank. These algorithms enhance the system’s capability to identify suspicious activities by examining the influence and interconnections within networks of financial transactions The significance of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) efforts within the global financial sector is discussed in this paper. It highlights the limitations of traditional AML systems. The results showed the practicality and superiority of the new implementation of the GCN model with it being a preferable method for connectively structured data, meaning that a transaction or account is analyzed in the context of its financial environment. In addition, the paper delves into the prospects of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) efforts, proposing the integration of emerging technologies such as Deep Learning and Centrality Algorithms. This integration holds promise for enhancing the effectiveness of AML systems by refining their capabilities.
Optotype Interpolazione tra testo e display

description: Una base si crea per Optotype. Un carattere display che sperimenta l’interazione tra schermo, distanza e leggibilità. La partenza è delineata da un carattere pixel, ispirato al lavoro di Wim Crouwel. Il carattere passa dall’idea di schermo a bassa risoluzione fino ad arrivare all’alta risoluzione, dal carattere in griglia a un carattere più organico e dettagliato. Il font muta drasticamente. Nonostante i cambiamenti nella risoluzione, l’occhio umano rimane la costante, interagisce e limita per poi farsi oltrepassare, porta alla sfida della costruzione del carattere: rimanda al passato per guardare al futuro. Un’interazione con l’umano attraverso il machine learning. Lo schermo di un computer, un pannello digitale, il proprio feed creano un’interazione, un rapporto tra noi e il dispositivo digitale; ciò è definito e dettato unicamente dalla distanza. Un futuro reso possibile dall’animo analogico del font, un momento storico rimarcabile per la tipografia: adattabile all’uomo, variabile nella sua evoluzione. Ricorda dove siamo ora e spinge verso l’avvenire. Il mondo viaggia verso una comunicazione in costante movimento, un progetto che crea la base per un workflow malleabile, adattabile. Il carattere da me disegnato vede uno sviluppo posto alla comunicazione attraverso un codice, il quale lavora assieme a una libreria che elabora le informazioni, ne trae autonomamente le conclusioni ed impara da esse, senza però perdere ciò che ha appena guadagnato.

description: Attraverso il presente lavoro ho voluto analizzare gli aspetti legati alle competenze prosociali dei ragazzi del primo biennio della scuola media del Canton Ticino in relazione al senso di autoefficacia provato nei confronti del proprio successo scolastico. Questa ricerca, di tipo quantitativo con sviluppi descrittivi ed interpretativi, si avvale dello stesso questionario utilizzato per l’analogo progetto di ricerca promosso in Canada, The middle years development instrument (MDI, 2010) e ha come campione di riferimento il 30% della popolazione degli allievi di prima e seconda media provenienti da diciotto sedi sparse sul territorio ticinese. Dall’analisi dei dati emerge in generale un quadro positivo sullo sviluppo delle competenze prosociali degli allievi che si riflette positivamente anche sulla percezione ottimistica nei confronti del proprio apprendimento. Risulta essenziale una sensibilizzazione da parte del mondo degli educatori che, in sinergia, si impegnino a promuovere un’educazione socio-emotiva che garantisca ai ragazzi un sano sviluppo come individui di successo personale e sociale.

description: 128 steer calves were given a commercially available hyperimmune serum (5 or 10 ml/100 lb body weight, s/c) immediately after processing at a feedlot, and 64 were processed but not treated. Processing included immunization with IBR IPV virus, bovine diarrhoea virus, parainfluenza-3 virus, Haemophilus somnus and clostridial toxoid vaccines. The hyperimmune serum had little or no effect on prevalence of respiratory disease, body weight gain or serological response to the vaccines.

Current knowledge of the BVD syndrome of cattle
Creators: name: Stober, M.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1984

description: The following presentation attempts to give a summary overview of the wealth of facts and assumptions which are available in the literature on the BVD syndrome. Some of the author’s own opinions will be added. The first of these concerns itself with the often heard opinion that the nature of bovine virus diarrhea has changed completely in recent years. In light of the biological laws which viruses and the diseases they cause “obey”, such a “fundamental change” hardly seems conceivable. The author is convinced that we are more often deceived by the rapidly accumulating knowledge of the life cycle and pathogenicity of the BVD virus as well as the response of cattle to this agent, and by the diagnosis of BVD-virus-caused disease or injury being made far more frequently than before because of the improved, more routinely applied methods of investigation. We see a situation, which was always present, as “new” or “changed”, because before it was not “apparent” to the degree it is now. Additionally, changes in cattle management and in the movement of animals may likewise have played a certain role.

description: In this work hydrogen diffusion towards the fracture process zone is examined accounting for local hardening due to geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) by means of strain gradient plasticity (SGP). Finite element computations are performed within the finite deformation theory to characterize the gradient-enhanced stress elevation and subsequent diffusion of hydrogen towards the crack tip. Results reveal that GNDs, absent in conventional plasticity predictions, play a fundamental role on hydrogen transport ahead of a crack. SGP estimations provide a good agreement with experimental measurements of crack tip deformation and high levels of lattice hydrogen concentration are predicted within microns to the crack tip. The important implications of the results in the understanding of hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms are thoroughly discussed.

description: The European Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality Interactions project EUCAARI is an EU Research Framework 6 integrated project focusing on understanding the interactions of climate and air pollution. EUCAARI works in an integrative and multidisciplinary way from nano- to global scale. EUCAARI brings together several leading European research groups, state-of-the-art infrastructure and some key scientists from third countries to investigate the role of aerosol on climate and air quality. Altogether 48 partners from 25 countries are participating in EUCAARI. During the first 16 months EUCAARI has built operational systems, e.g. established pan-European measurement network for Lagrangian studies and four stations in developing countries. Also an improved understanding of nanoscale processes (like nucleation) has been implemented in global models. Here we present the research methods, organisation, operations and first results of EUCAARI.

description: A modified version of the folded aplanatic Gregory telescope equipped with a spherical two-lens corrector is proposed for observations requiring a high signal-to-noise ratio. The basic telescope model has an aperture of 400 mm (f/3.0), its field of view is 3.0 degrees, the linear obscuration is 0.12, the distortion is less than 0.5%. The focal surface has a spherical shape; the achieving of a plane field requires an increase in the number of lenses in the corrector. The images of stars in the integrated wavelength range 0.35 - 1.0 mcm are close to the diffraction-limited ones (D_{80} = 5.9 - 8.2 mcm = 1.0 - 1.4 arc seconds). The system is free from direct background illumination; both the lens corrector and the light detector are protected from cosmic particles.

description: A double kicker system which extracts the ultra-low emittance multi-bunch beam stably from ATF damping ring was developed. The performance of the system was studied comparing an orbit jitter with single kicker extraction in single bunch mode. The position jitter reduction was estimated from the analysis of the extraction orbits. The reduction was confirmed for the double kicker system within a resolution of BPMs. More precise tuning of the system with a wire scanner has been tried by changing a beta function at the second kicker to get more reduction of kick angle jitter. The results of these studies are described in detail.

description: Questo progetto è volto alla realizzazione di un processo di valutazione del fornitore. Gli strumenti adottati sono i seguenti: - Classificazione secondo l’aspetto economico, quantitativo e ambientale; - Analisi delle criticità delle forniture; - Analisi delle caratteristiche del fornitore; Formalizzazione del rapporto di fornitura. Inizialmente sono state analizzate le caratteristiche di fornitura e successivamente sono stati analizzati l’impatto economico, quantitativo ed ambientale, tramite Pareto. Durante la seconda fase, è stata analizzata la criticità delle forniture che prevede l’utilizzo di due variabili: rischio strategico della fornitura e complessità del mercato di approvvigionamento. La terza fase è stata dedicata alla redazione di tre questionari di valutazione, uno per ogni categoria individuata. Infine, è stato sviluppato un capitolato d’acquisto, ossia una linea guida cui attenersi in fase contrattuale.L’unione di tutte le precedenti attività ha permesso ottenere un KPI, utile alla valutazione del fornitore.

Reduction of electron heating by magnetizing ultracold neutral plasma

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: Electron heating in an ultracold neutral plasma is modeled using classical molecular dynamics simulations in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field. A sufficiently strong magnetic field is found to reduce disorder induced heating and three body recombination heating of electrons by constraining electron motion, and therefore heating, to the single dimension aligned with the magnetic field. A strong and long-lasting temperature anisotropy develops, and the overall kinetic electron temperature is effectively reduced by a factor of three. These results suggest that experiments may increase the effective electron coupling strength using an applied magnetic field.
Respiratory tract reaction in young bovine animals and their significance
Creators: name: Pirie, H. M.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1984

description: Understanding the pathogenesis of a disease is a prerequisite to developing measures to combat it. Most of the respiratory diseases affecting young bovine animals, indoors or outdoors, are considered to be due primarily to micro-organisms or parasites. However, not only have micro-organisms been isolated from the respiratory tracts of calves without clinical disease but striking morphological changes in the respiratory system, producing clinical disease, have not been linked with causal agents. A fundamental component of the pathogenesis of any disease is the morphological reactions involved in the affected system; these are the structural damage caused by the agent directly and the ensuing immunoinflammatory response accompanied by a repair reaction. The significance of some of these reactions and the difficulties associated with identifying and interpreting them will be considered here. The limited space precludes quoting many appropriate references.

description: In this paper we explore the application of cryogenic imaging spectrophotometers. Prototypes of this new class of detector, such as superconducting tunnel junctions (STJs) and transition edge sensors (TESs), currently deliver low resolution imaging spectrophotometry with high quantum efficiency (70-100%) and no read noise over a wide bandpass in the visible to near-infrared. In order to demonstrate their utility and the differences in observing strategy needed to maximize their scientific return, we present simulated observations of a deep extragalactic field. Using a simple analytic technique, we can estimate both the galaxy redshift and spectral type more accurately than is possible with current broadband techniques. From our simulated observations and a subsequent discussion of the expected migration path for this new technology, we illustrate the power and promise of these devices.

description: Questo lavoro di ricerca, svolto in una quinta elementare, ha come obiettivo quello di osservare se i giochi linguistici permettono un ampliamento lessicale e una maggiore attitudine dei bambini nei confronti dell’italiano incrementando la motivazione verso l’apprendimento della lingua. Il percorso ha previsto la sperimentazione di alcune attività ludolinguistiche atte alla continua ricerca di vocaboli e quindi all’estensione del proprio bagaglio lessicale. Gli allievi si sono confrontati con uno spettro della didattica dell’italiano di cui non erano a conoscenza. Le attività proposte sono state pensate in sequenza, dalla più semplice alla più complessa, per permettere agli allievi un allenamento graduale e un rafforzamento del proprio lessico. L’acrostico del proprio nome, la scrittura di un tautogramma e la riscrittura di un testo seguendo i vincoli del lipogramma sono solo alcune delle attività con le quali si sono confrontati gli allievi. Oltre all’ampliamento lessicale la ricerca è stata pensata per l’osservazione e il monitoraggio della motivazione degli allievi nei confronti dell’apprendimento della lingua italiana. Gli allievi hanno avuto la possibilità di fare un bilancio al termine di ogni lezione per poter esprimere le sensazioni provate. Relatore: Simone Fornara.

We study group manifolds, in particular the examples $SU(2) \times SU(2)$ and $U(1)\times U(1)$ in detail, comparing conformal field theory results with geometry. We then consider orientifolds of tensor products of N=2 minimal models, which have a description as coset theories in rational conformal field theory and as Landau Ginzburg models. In the Landau Ginzburg language, B-orientifolds and D-branes are described in terms of matrix factorizations of the superpotential. We match the factorizations with the corresponding crosscap states.

Bluetongue

Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1984

description: Bluetongue (BT) is an important virus infection of cattle even though it is clinically expressed in only 5 to 10% of the infected cattle. There are a few bovine practitioners in areas of low BT prevalence who believe this disease is essentially exotic in the United States (US). Other practitioners have had personal experience with the disease and believe it is a “sleeping giant” that causes severe reproductive problems in their clients’ herds. Thus, discussion of the disease evokes a wide spectrum of views and attitudes, possibly more than any other infectious disease of cattle. The infection has been referred to as “a political disease,” “a pain in the neck,” “a mystery,” “a riddle” and recently, “a bigger threat than you think.” In the World Animal Review article a preceeding editorial comment stated that “bluetongue is one of the diseases that, for many countries, ranks high in the list of exotic diseases that need to be controlled, and that prompted the convening of the FAO Expert Consultation on Emergency Disease Control.” Most bovine practitioners’ experience with BT is related to serology and the certification of cattle free of the infection. Some practitioners have had direct experience with the devastating consequences of infection that include “abortion storms,” infertility stillborns, and various fetal anomalies and dysfunctions. In this report, the authors will attempt to dispel some of the confusion about BT by discussing diagnostics, the perpetuation of BT virus (BTV) and the health problems that infection produces in cattle.

description: Abstract: "Successive Quadratic Programming (SQP) has been the method of choice for the solution of nonlinear programming problems. For the solution of large problems with SQP based codes, the combinatorial complexity associated with active set methods for the treatment of inequalities has been a bottleneck in exploiting the problem structure. In this paper, we examine the merits of incorporating an interior point method within an SQP framework and the significant computational savings are demonstrated on problems drawn from optimal control. We also provide a novel interpretation of the popularly used predictor-corrector interior point method using the principles of reduced Hessian SQP (rSQP)."
Modeling the X-ray - UV Correlations in NGC 3516

description: We test the "reprocessing paradigm" of the optical -- UV AGN variability by detailed modeling of the correlated X-ray -- optical (3590 and 5510 Angstrem) variability of the recent multiwavelength campaign of NGC 3516. We produce model optical light curves by convolving the observed X-ray flux with the response function of an infinite, thin accretion disk, illuminated by a point-like X-ray source at a given height above the compact object (the lamp-post model) and compare their properties to those observed. Special attention is given to the correct computation of the X-ray albedo of the disk. We further compute the X-ray reflection response at two energies (E = 1 and 20 keV) and argue for the possibility of hard lags in their cross spectra. We also compute the continuum Optical -- UV and the X-ray reflection spectra as well as the Fe K-alpha fluorescent line profiles which we also compare to observations. Despite the large (~50 percent) amplitude excursions of the X-ray flux, the model optical light curves exhibit variability amplitudes of 3 -- 4 percent, not unlike those observed. However, the model CCF between the X-ray and the model optical variations show clear lags of 0.1 and 0.25 days for black hole masses M = 10^7 and 10^8 Solar masses, respectively, not apparent in the data. The synchrony of X-ray - optical variations points toward the BH mass < 10^7 Solar masses, whereas the X-ray spectra prefer BH mass > 10^8. Our conclusion is that the combination of the observed optical/UV/X-ray spectral and timing observations are inconsistent with the lamp-post model geometry for NGC 3516.

description: We consider the two-dimensional topological Chern insulator in the presence of static disorder. Generic quantum states in this system are Anderson localized. However, topology requires the presence of a subset of critical states, with diverging localization length (the Chern insulator analog of the `center of the Landau band states' of the quantum Hall insulator.) We discuss geometric criteria for the identification of these states at weak disorder, and their extension into the regime of strong disorder by analytical methods. In this way, we chart a critical surface embedded in a phase space spanned by energy, topological control parameter, and disorder strength. Our analytical predictions are supplemented by a numerical analysis of the position of the critical states, and their multifractal properties.

description: The KEK 8-GeV electron / 3.5-GeV positron linac has been operated with very different beam specifications for downstream rings, KEKB, PF and PF-AR. For the reliable operation among these beam modes intelligent beam switching and beam feedback systems have been developed and used since its commissioning. A software panel is used to choose one of four beam modes and a switching sequence is executed in about two minutes. Most items in a sequence are simple operations followed by failure recoveries. The magnet standardization part consumes most of the time. The sequence can be re-arranged easily by accelerator operators. Linac beam modes are switched about fifty times a day using this software. In order to stabilize linac beam energy and orbits, as well as some accelerator equipment, about thirty software beam feedback loops have been installed. They have been utilized routinely in all beam modes, and have improved its beam quality. Since its software interfaces are standardized, it is easy to add new feedback loops simply defining monitors and actuators.

description: The aim of this paper is to introduce a methodology to solve a large-scale mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP) integrating the two main optimization problems appearing in the oil refining industry: refinery planning and crude-oil operations scheduling. The proposed approach consists of using Lagrangian decomposition to efficiently integrate both problems. The main advantage of this technique is to solve each problem separately. A new hybrid dual problem is introduced to update the Lagrange multipliers. It uses the classical concepts of cutting planes, subgradient, and boxstep. The proposed approach is compared to a basic sequential approach and to standard MINLP solvers. The results obtained on a case study and a larger refinery problem show that the new Lagrangian decomposition algorithm is more robust than the other approaches and produces better solutions in reasonable times.

description: The $β$-decay half-lives of $^{128\text{--}130}$Cd have been measured with the newly commissioned GRIFFIN $γ$-ray spectrometer at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility. The time structures of the most intense $γ$-rays emitted following the $β$-decay were used to determine the half-lives of $^{128}$Cd and $^{130}$Cd to be $T_{1/2}= 246.2(21)$ ms and $T_{1/2}= 126(4)$ ms, respectively. The half-lives of the 3/2$^+$ and 11/2$^-$ states of $^{129}$Cd were measured to be $T_{1/2}(3/2^+)= 157(8)$ ms and $T_{1/2}(11/2^-)= 147(3)$ ms. The half-lives of the Cd isotopes around the $N=82$ shell closure are an important ingredient in astrophysical simulations to derive the magnitude of the second $r$-process abundance peak in the $A\sim130$ region. Our new results are compared with recent literature values and theoretical calculations.
Permutation Orientifolds of Gepner Models

description: In tensor products of a left-right symmetric CFT, one can define permutation orientifolds by combining orientation reversal with involutive permutation symmetries. We construct the corresponding crosscap states in general rational CFTs and their orbifolds, and study in detail those in products of affine U(1)_2 models or N=2 minimal models. The results are used to construct permutation orientifolds of Gepner models. We list the permutation orientifolds in a few simple Gepner models, and study some of their physical properties - supersymmetry, tension and RR charges. We also study the action of corresponding parity on D-branes, and determine the gauge group on a stack of parity-invariant D-branes. Tadpole cancellation condition and some of its solutions are also presented.

description: Abstract: "We describe two systems we have developed using the Soar architecture: CPD-Soar is a system for the design of distillation-based separation systems and Interval-Soar is a system that can learn the intersection point of two arbitrary functions whose forms are unknown to it. We discuss the performance of both systems and indicate how the functionality of a system like Interval-Soar could be used to further improve the performance of a system such as CPD-Soar whose domain is highly quantitative."
Dust Distribution in Gas Disks. A Model for the Ring Around HR 4796A

description: There have been several model analyses of the near and mid IR flux from the circumstellar ring around HR4796A. In the vicinity of a young star, the possibility that the dust ring is embedded within a residual protostellar gas disk cannot be ruled out. In a gas-rich environment, larger sizes ($>100 μm$) are needed for the particles to survive the radiative blow out. The total dust mass required to account for the IR flux is $< 10^{-1} M_\oplus$. The combined influence of gas and stellar radiation may also account for the observed sharp inner boundary and rapidly fading outer boundary of the ring. The pressure gradient induced by a small (10%) amplitude variation in the surface density distribution of a low-mass gaseous disk would be sufficient to modify the rotation speed of the gas.

Fluctuation-induced forces in periodic slabs: Breakdown of epsilon expansion at the bulk critical point and revised field theory

description: Systems described by $n$-component $ϕ^4$ models in a $\infty^{d-1}\times L$ slab geometry of finite thickness $L$ are considered at and above their bulk critical temperature $T_{c,\infty}$. The renormalization-group improved perturbation theory commonly employed to investigate the fluctuation-induced forces (``thermodynamic Casimir effect'') in $d=4-ε$ bulk dimensions is re-examined. It is found to be ill-defined beyond two-loop order because of infrared singularities when the boundary conditions are such that the free propagator in slab geometry involves a zero-energy mode at bulk criticality. This applies to periodic boundary conditions and the special-special ones corresponding to the critical enhancement of the surface interactions on both confining plates. The field theory is reorganized such that a small-$ε$ expansion results which remains well behaved down to $T_{c,\infty}$. The leading contributions to the critical Casimir amplitudes $Δ_{\mathrm{per}}$ and $Δ_{\mathrm{sp},\mathrm{sp}}$ beyond two-loop order are $\sim (u^*)^{(3-ε)/2}$, where $u^*=O(ε)$ is the value of the renormalized $ϕ^4$ coupling at the infrared-stable fixed point. Besides integer powers of $ε$, the small-$ε$ expansions of these amplitudes involve fractional powers $ε^{k/2}$, with $k\geq 3$, and powers of $\ln ε$. Explicit results to order $ε^{3/2}$ are presented for $Δ_{\mathrm{per}}$ and $Δ_{\mathrm{sp},\mathrm{sp}}$, which are used to estimate their values at $d=3$.

description: The RF part of the new high current injector-linac HSI consists of five cavities with the new operating frequency of 36 MHz instead of 27 MHz of the removed Wideroe type injector. The calculated power requirements of the cavities including beam load in three structures were between 110 kW for a rebuncher and 1.75 MW pulse-power for the two IH-cavities. The beam load is up to 150 kW for the RFQ and up to 750 kW for the two drift tube tanks. An additional 36 MHz debuncher in the transfer line to the Synchrotron (SIS) will need 120 kW pulse power. We decided to fulfil these demands with amplifiers of only two power classes, namely three amplifiers with 2 MW and six amplifiers with 200 kW pulse output power. The latter ones are also used as drivers for the 2 MW stages. The 200 kW amplifiers were specified in detail by GSI and ordered in the industry. The three 2 MW final amplifiers were designed, constructed and built by GSI. The paper gives an overview of the complete RF system and the operating performance of amplitude and phase control with beam load. It further describes some specialities of the new 2 MW amplifiers like the simplicity of the anode circuit, a very sophisticated socket for a cathode driven amplifier with cathode on dc ground, the parasitic mode-suppression, shielding and filtering of unallowable RF-radiation and operating experience since October 1999.

description: Abstract: "This paper addresses the problem of developing a quantitative measure for the flexibility of a design to withstand uncertainties in the continuous parameters and discrete states. The metric is denoted as the expected stochastic flexibility, E(SF). For a given a linear model, a joint distribution for the parameters and probabilities of failure for the discrete states, the proposed metric predicts the probability of feasible operation of a design. A novel inequality reduction scheme is proposed to aid in performing the integration over the feasible region characterized by inequalities. A bounding scheme is also proposed to avoid the examination of a large number of discrete states when determining the E(SF). An example problem is presented to demonstrate the fact that the proposed measure provides a framework for integrating flexibility and reliability in process design."
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RIGHT-WING EXTREMISM AND SUPPORT FOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE

description: This study explores the relationship between right-wing extremism, and of particular note, White Nationalist/REMVE extremists, and support for political violence. While those who subscribe to these beliefs represent a minority of people in the United States. Fewer still actually engage in violence, despite subscribing to a shared and often violent worldview and belief system. However, there is often an assumption among both the public and scholars that extremism is a ‘conveyer belt’ that ultimately ends as engagement in violence. This may be, at least in part, due to the fact that studying support for and engagement in political violence is especially challenging due to the low base rate of violent events. In this study, I first test the relationship between ideological placement and support for political violence using American National Election Survey (ANES) and World Values Survey (WVS) data, which finds that extreme ideological placement does not predict support for political violence. I then utilized a novel dataset of 107 White Nationalist/REMVE Group Manifestos, which I utilized in two separate studies, to provide insight into the nature or organized extremism and support for violence in their public-facing content. In the dataset, I have also compiled group-related violence, and first, test the relationship between group types and intent and its connection with real-world violence, in addition to applying the Grievance Dictionary across the manifestos to search for trends across texts, as well as connections between language groups and real-world violence. Finally, I conduct a reflexive thematic analysis of the 107 manifesto texts, with both a priori themes and emerging themes, providing both an inductive and deductive approach to the content. This deep dive into the texts helps provide context to the findings in the other stories, as well as providing a descriptive analysis of extremism at the group level, which is severely lacking in the literature today.

description: The Yukawa couplings of the simpler models of D-branes on toroidal orientifolds suffer from the so-called ``rank one'' problem -- there is only a single non-zero mass and no mixing. We consider the one-loop contribution of E2-instantons to Yukawa couplings on intersecting D6-branes, and show that they can solve the rank one problem. In addition they have the potential to provide a geometric explanation for the hierarchies observed in the Yukawa coupling. In order to do this we provide the necessary quantities for instanton calculus in this class of background.
