description: The BaBar, Belle, and LHCb collaborations have reported evidence for new physics in $B\to Dτν$ and $B\to D^*τν$ of approximately $3.8σ$. There is also the long lasting discrepancy of about $3σ$ in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, and the branching ratio for $τ\toμνν$ is $1.8σ$ ($2.4σ$) above the Standard Model expectation using the HFAG (PDG) values. Furthermore, CMS found hints for a non-zero decay rate of $h\toμτ$. Interestingly, all these observations can be explained by introducing new scalars. In this article we consider these processes within a lepton-specific two-Higgs doublet model (i.e. of type X) with additional non-standard Yukawa couplings. It is found that one can accommodate $τ\toμνν$ with modified Higgs--$τ$ couplings. The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon can be explained if the additional neutral CP-even Higgs $H$ is light (below 100 GeV). Also $R(D)$ and $R(D^*)$ can be easily explained by additional $t$--$c$--Higgs couplings. Combining these $t$--$c$ couplings with a light $H$ the decay rate for $t\to H c$ can be in a testable range for the LHC. Effects in $h\toμτ$ are also possible, but in this case a simultaneous explanation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is difficult due to the unavoidable $τ\toμγ$ decay.

Trucks Cartel

description: This article explores the Spanish caselaw on the trucks cartel damages claims. It presents a rigorous empirical assessment of the courts' decisions (as of the cut-off date of 1/10/22), focusing particularly on the 1185 judgments on the merits issued by the courts of appeal. The large number of judgments is explained by the lack of an adequate instrument for class actions. Nevertheless, this article explains that the Spanish judicial system has managed to digest mass litigation through the collectivization of judgments, which replicate each other inefficiently but still manage to deliver justice.
 There is consensus among Spanish courts that the trucks cartel was harmful and that it caused an overcharge in trucks’ purchases while the cartel was in place, but they show disagreement on the level of proof claimants are required to meet in quantifying the overcharge and in the criteria followed by courts to estimate the overcharge when awarding damages.
 The Spanish courts’ experience with trucks damages claims will undoubtedly be helpful for the forthcoming follow-on damages claims emerging before the Spanish courts (prominently the milk procurement cartel and the car manufacturers' cartel). It may also be useful for courts and practitioners in other Member States in which the trucks cartel litigation is still in progress, as Spanish courts have had to deal with many of the numerous potential doubts, questions, and problems that this case poses.

description: The paper proposes a reading of the Expo 2015 landscape project through the essay "Moving Forest "by Franco Zagari and Benedetto Selleri; in which the authors trace the design process of the exposition site. It describes the design features of the green spaces that surround and mark the Exposition City. The green project is the connection between innovation, technology and rural landscape, like that surrounds the site. The Expo map represents one of the largest landscape projects in the last years in Europe, with its 300,000 square meters, organized in a sequence of different landscape that improve a gradual transition from the rural and natural landscape outside, to the urban landscape inside the exposition city.

The associations between neuromuscular profile, training load, and body composition over the course of a collegiate field hockey season
Creators: name: Hammock, Alyssa Frances

Year: 2019

description: Injury is common in female collegiate field hockey athletes, specifically lower extremity and non-contact/chronic injuries. Training load is a risk factor for sport-related injury; however, research has not examined the underlying mechanisms that mediate the relationship between training load and injury risk. We assessed modifiable injury risk factors at the start and end of season, which included movement quality, range of motion, power, and body composition. We hypothesized that negative changes would occur over time in association with greater training demands. Our results indicate that hip rotation range of motion measures were more restricted and body composition measure (lean mass and bone mineral density) were improved at end of season. There were no changes in movement quality or power during jumping. Our findings indicate that modifiable injury risk factors are altered following a season of high training load and should be regularly monitored in addition to training load.

description: This project examines how citizens react to undemocratic behavior and, more specifically, to what extent perceived democratic vulnerability alter these reactions. I argue that citizens are more intolerant toward undemocratic behavior if they perceive that the democratic system is vulnerable. Moreover, I argue that perceived democratic vulnerability suppresses considerations based on partisanship, policy, and competence when it comes to tolerance and intolerance of undemocratic behavior. I plan to conduct mixed-type experiments in the US, the UK, the Czech Republic, Mexico, and South Korea to test my arguments. The experiments consist of a candidate choice part and a regular survey experimental part. Thus, the data collection and analysis is yet to be conducted.

description: AIAPP - Italian Association of Landscape Architecture in recent years has planned a number of activities and initiatives at national level which path towards the 53 th World Congress of IFLA (International Federation of Landscape Architects). Theme of the World Congress to be held in Turin in April 2016, and that AIAPP as a member of Italian IFLA is called to organize, is the Landscape Tasting (http://www.ifla2016.com). These activities highlight the two national conferences on the subject Landscape and Agricultures (Landscape and Agricultures, November 28, 2014 in Lecce, Landscape and Agricultures 2.0, June 26, 2014 in Milan), which had the task of exploring how the landscape design can be placed with respect to different forms of agriculture which today concern the Italian territory. The variation in the plural of the word agriculture has in fact the precise purpose of indicating and integrate all the multiple areas, approaches and objectives that the landscape project can and must confront, transform and resolve, especially in light of the nowdays technical, socio-economic and cultural changes.

description: We introduce coordinates for a principal bundle $S\tilde T(F)$ over the super Teichmueller space $ST(F)$ of a surface $F$ with $s\geq 1$ punctures that extend the lambda length coordinates on the decorated bundle $\tilde T(F)=T(F)\times {\mathbb R}_+^s$ over the usual Teichmueller space $T(F)$. In effect, the action of a Fuchsian subgroup of $PSL(2,{\mathbb R})$ on Minkowski space ${\mathbb R}^{2,1}$ is replaced by the action of a super Fuchsian subgroup of $OSp(1|2)$ on the super Minkowski space ${\mathbb R}^{2,1|2}$, where $OSp(1|2)$ denotes the orthosymplectic Lie supergroup, and the lambda lengths are extended by fermionic invariants of suitable triples of isotropic vectors in ${\mathbb R}^{2,1|2}$. As in the bosonic case, there is the analogue of the Ptolemy transformation now on both even and odd coordinates as well as an invariant even two-form on $S\tilde T(F)$ generalizing the Weil-Petersson Kaehler form. This finally solves a problem posed in Yuri Ivanovitch Manin's Moscow seminar some thirty years ago to find the super analogue of decorated Teichmueller theory and provides a natural geometric interpretation in ${\mathbb R}^{2,1|2}$ for the super moduli of $S\tilde T(F)$.

La ricetta di Jean Giono. Rammendi di paesaggi rurali

Publisher: name: Ri-Vista
Year: 2015

description: Today’s attention paid to food, related to the challenges to sustainability of its production and to the large numbers of humans, must not relegate its spiritual features into a corner. Lettre aux paysans sur la pauvreté et la paix (1938) of the Occcitan writer Jean Giono is not a praise of poverty but the praise of a modest measure, linked to the dramatic situation of that time but generally valid. The Lettre is now a classic. We present it starting from the recipe of a vegetable soup, humble fulcrum of the author’s message meant to announce the reform of the rural world. The topic of the letter has an arrival point with L’homme qui plantait des arbres, written by Giono in 1953 and published in 1980, gaining a success ever renewed; the Italian translation, L’uomo che piantava gli alberi obtained a similar success. There is not mention of the food but its environmental premises perform a protagonist role.

Exploring Models of Negative and Positive Urgency: Momentary Dynamics of Affect and Impulsivity

description: Negative urgency, as part of the four-factor model of impulsivity, refers to rash action taken in response to negative emotions (Whiteside & Lynam, 2001). Positive urgency or action taken in response to strong positive affect, has been suggested as a potential fifth factor contributing to impulsivity (Cyders et al., 2007). Sperry and colleagues (2018) have strongly argued against considering positive urgency as a distinct entity and instead suggest that all manifestations of impulsivity in the context of strong emotions be subsumed under a single factor of urgency (without valence modifier). However, further research on these constructs is warranted, especially when directly assessed as dynamic processes. Urgency refers to an if… then process (“If I experience strong negative (or positive) emotion, then I will engage in risky behaviors.”) which dispositional scales can, at best, only approximate. In previous registered analyses (https://osf.io/e7mau), we explored Sharpe and colleagues’ (2020) cascade model of situational trigger, affect, and impulsivity, using multilevel structural equation modeling to examine within- and between-person predictors of momentary impulsivity in three ambulatory assessment samples. In response to reviewer feedback, we now move away from the full cascade and focus on the relationship between affect and impulsivity in the moment. In acknowledgement of literature which conceives of urgency as a more general disposition toward reflexive responding (including both rash action and unwise inaction; Carver et al., 2008; Carver et al., 2017), we reframe our exploration of the nomological network of momentary urgency, centering potential associations with internalizing and externalizing psychopathology. Following the structural framework of psychopathology described by the HiTOP consortium (Kotov et al., 2017), we situate the personality traits of antagonism and disinhibition under the broader factor of externalizing and negative emotionality and detachment under internalizing pathology. We also extend our analyses to a fourth ambulatory assessment sample.

The product arises as the transfer of the plain product from R^3 into the set of functions parametrizing one of the two components of the transverse vector field. The similar extensions are treated for the square of inverse operator of the radial part in question.

Cherokee Writing Reexamined: A Linguistic Analysis of the Cherokee Syllabary
Creators: name: Klein, Melissa Brianne
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: This thesis applies a novel methodology to analyze the graphic forms of the Cherokee      Syllabary to address the questions: Is the Cherokee Syllabary a pure syllabic writing system, and      if so, did it start out that way? Calligraphic terminology was borrowed to identify and analyze      the anatomical pieces of Cherokee graphemes. Previous scholars have explored the Cherokee      Syllabary in-depth, but did not apply a systematic formal and structural analysis to the sign      inventory. Through my analysis, I observe that 1) MCS (Modern Cherokee Syllabary) is a      syllabic system, 2) OCS (Original Cherokee Syllabary) may have features of a mixed system      with abugida-like diacritics, 3) OCS and MCS graphemes are formally related, 4) approximately      50% of the possible diacritics in OCS were maintained into MCS graphemes, and 5) many CS      graphemes were borrowed and repurposed from the Roman alphabet, resulting in graphemic      divergence through the alterations of rotation, deletion, and substitution.
Rheological Behavior of Magnetorheological Fluids over a Wide Range of Shear Rates-ERMR2023
Creators: name: Lv, Jingcheng
Publisher: name: figshare

Subjects: classificationCode: 401212
subject: Non-Newtonian fluid flows (incl. rheology)

description: According to the rheological principles and previous studies, the rheological behavior of magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) at high shear rates conforms to the Bingham model. Due to its simple form and clear physical meaning, the Bingham model has gained the most widespread applications[1-4]. However, the nonlinearity of MRFs at low and medium shear rates makes it difficult for the Bingham model to accurately describe and predict its rheological behavior over a wide range of shear rates. The exponential linear mixed analytical (ELMA) model not only accommodates the Bingham model but also has excellent descriptive and predictive capabilities for the rheological behavior of MRFs over a wide range of shear rates[3, 4]. By analyzing the rheological data of the MRF over a wide range of shear rates, we find that the deviation between the MRF rheological behavior and the converged Bingham model is exponentially decaying, in agreement with the ELMA model. In addition, to solve the problem that the traditional dimensionless analysis based on the Mason number cannot describe the nonlinear rheological behavior of MRFs under off-state conditions, we propose a modified Mason number. Finally, a multivariable model of MRF considering the applied magnetic field is developed based on the ELMA model and the modified Mason number.

description: This paper explores some relations between food, landscape and space, in the Emilia Romagna region. It concern especially food cultures, which assumed new meanings in the last decades, as some foodstuffs were considered cultural heritage, expression of culture and knowledge in a given space. The Emilia Romagna can be an interesting example to discuss these matters, because it has the largest number of traditional products designated as PDO and PGI by European Union. For more close consideration to the geographical relation, and the challenges for sustainability, we will concentrate within the area of Parma province, in western part of the region.

description: In recent times different activities have started to promote the exploitation of typical products contributing to safeguard economic and territorial orders and local productions in the era of globalization. These activities are inevitably inserted into the global economy, of the great distribution and e-commerce, losing the connection with the territory. An ideal and necessary process should try to restore the relationship between productive area and commerce toward a sort of self- consumption, that aims at reducing the movements of goods reestablishing a landscape congruence. The examples from Expo Milano 2015 and F.I.C.O. in Bologna have suggest an intervention to Olbia that should combine the island and landscape dimension with the enogastronomic one.

description: We selected the claim that empathy is related to the motivation for physical distancing. This reflects the following statement from the paper’s abstract: “In three pre-registered studies that include samples from the US, the UK, and Germany (total N = 2,192) collected at the beginning of the outbreak, we show that (i) empathy is indeed a basic motivation for physical distancing, and (ii) inducing empathy for those most vulnerable to the virus promotes the motivation to adhere to physical distancing.” The claim was tested by calculating a correlation between physical distancing practice and self-reported empathy. This analysis yielded, in line with the idea that physical distancing is motivated by empathy, that in the United States there is a positive relation between empathy and physical distancing (US: r = .61, P < .001). The focal test in the original paper is: In the United States there is a positive relation between empathy and physical distancing (US: r = .61, P < .001).

Measures of Heat Stress and Their Relationship with Mortality Across North Carolina
Creators: name: Clark, Jordan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Exposure to extreme heat is the leading cause of weather-related fatalities in the United States. The National Weather Service employs the Heat Index to assess environmental heat stress, and many epidemiological studies use air temperature. Wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is increasingly utilized in occupational health and athletic safety to assess heat stress, as it incorporates not only air temperature and humidity, but also the effects of wind speed and radiation. Using death records from North Carolina for 2000-2016, this study identifies the relationships between mortality and three heat stress indicators: air temperature, the Heat Index, and WBGT. These relationships are compared across climatically and demographically diverse regions of the state. Notable regional differences are identified in the character of the relationships, with urban regions having the highest heat-health burden. Models utilizing WBGT to predict excess mortality were more robust than models utilizing either air temperature or the Heat Index.
Hierarchically hyperbolic spaces II: Combination theorems and the distance formula

description: We introduce a number of tools for finding and studying \emph{hierarchically hyperbolic spaces (HHS)}, a rich class of spaces including mapping class groups of surfaces, Teichmüller space with either the Teichmüller or Weil-Petersson metrics, right-angled Artin groups, and the universal cover of any compact special cube complex. We begin by introducing a streamlined set of axioms defining an HHS. We prove that all HHSs satisfy a Masur-Minsky-style distance formula, thereby obtaining a new proof of the distance formula in the mapping class group without relying on the Masur-Minsky hierarchy machinery. We then study examples of HHSs; for instance, we prove that when $M$ is a closed irreducible $3$--manifold then $π_1M$ is an HHS if and only if it is neither $Nil$ nor $Sol$. We establish this by proving a general combination theorem for trees of HHSs (and graphs of HH groups). We also introduce a notion of "hierarchical quasiconvexity", which in the study of HHS is analogous to the role played by quasiconvexity in the study of Gromov-hyperbolic spaces.

Patiently to Suffer the World: Eschatology and Apocalypse in Early Modern Religious Toleration
Creators: name: Young, Matthew H.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Liberal doctrines of religious toleration are rooted in early modern developments of liberty of conscience relying on epistemological skepticism and the privatization of belief. However, these underpinnings have recently come under scrutiny, with many theorists suggesting that such justifications cannot withstand major issues. An extensive liberal doctrine of toleration may find itself incapable of prohibiting deeply concerning practices that flow from sincere religious belief, while limited conceptions of toleration exclude precisely those groups that necessitate toleration. These problems have led many theorists to seek new grounds for religious toleration. However, the early modern project is not irreparably flawed. A close study of early modern theological and political texts from the Baptist tradition that inspired both Roger Williams and John Locke reveals the particular importance of eschatology to creating a comprehensive and extensive doctrine of religious toleration. The Baptist commitment to “eschatological millennarianism,” or a political theology characterized by the virtues of patience, hope, and comity offers compelling solutions to contemporary problems in religious toleration.

description: ZnSnN2 has recently garnered increasing interest as a potential solar absorber material due to its direct bandgap that is predicted to be tunable from 1.0-2.1 eV based on cation disorder. One important challenge to the further development of this material for photovoltaics (PV) is to reliably synthesize films with carrier density less than or equal to 10^17 electrons/cm^3. In this work, we perform a systematic annealing study on compositionally-graded Zn-Sn-N thin films to determine the effects on carrier density and transport of such post-growth treatment. We find that annealing up to 6 hr under an activated nitrogen atmosphere results in a reduction in carrier density by ~80% for zinc-rich films, and by ~50% for stoichiometric films. However, we also find that annealing reduces mobility as a function of increasing annealing time. This result suggests that initial film disorder hampers the benefits to film quality that should have been gained through annealing. This finding highlights that carefully managed initial growth conditions will be necessary to obtain PV-quality ZnSnN2 absorber films.

description: Missing energy signals such as monojets are a possible signature of Dark Matter (DM) at colliders. However, neutrino interactions beyond the Standard Model may also produce missing energy signals. In order to conclude that new "missing particles" are observed the hypothesis of BSM neutrino interactions must be rejected. In this paper, we first derive new limits on these Non-Standard neutrino Interactions (NSIs) from LHC monojet data. For heavy NSI mediators, these limits are much stronger than those coming from traditional low-energy $ν$ scattering or $ν$ oscillation experiments for some flavor structures. Monojet data alone can be used to infer the mass of the "missing particle" from the shape of the missing energy distribution. In particular, 13 TeV LHC data will have sensitivity to DM masses greater than $\sim$ 1 TeV. In addition to the monojet channel, NSI can be probed in multi-lepton searches which we find to yield stronger limits at heavy mediator masses. The sensitivity offered by these multi-lepton channels provide a method to reject or confirm the DM hypothesis in missing energy searches.

It has a simple form, because is Kerr-like. Its Taylor expansion form coincides with second order quadrupole metrics with slow rotation already found. Moreover, it can be transformed to an improved Hartle-Thorne metric, this guarantees its validity to be useful in studying compact object, and that it is possible to find an inner solution.
GARBAGE PEOPLE: THE DE-ESSENTIALIZATION OF IMPAIRMENT IN LATE QING AND EARLY REPUBLICAN CHINA, 1872 - 1936
Creators: name: Tsay, Dalvin D.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: This thesis attempts to tabulate a genealogy of medicalized bodies between the late Qing (c. 1842 – 1912) and early Republican (1912 – 1936) periods. As a preliminary exploration of impairment, it also contributes to formative historiographical debates on “disability” in Chinese history. Othered bodies, whether diseased or injured, exist both within and without the history of medicine. In premodern China, othered bodies are found in Confucian and Daoist texts, as well as period and dynastic histories. But these mentionings do not necessarily suggest ontological impairment, as differently-functioning persons are not always limited by their conditions. After Chinese and Western medicines came into dialogue with one another from the mid-nineteenth century onward, new ways of conceptualizing medical bodies arose in China. This process, as seen in the newspapers, magazines, and medical journals cited herein, bespoke a transitional ethos where Chinese and Western understandings of the human body both clashed and found synergy.

description: Using the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M $e^+e^-$ collider, we have measured the values of $R_{\text{uds}}$ and $R$ at seven points of the center-of-mass energy between 3.12 and 3.72 GeV. The total achieved accuracy is about or better than $3.3\%$ at most of energy points with a systematic uncertainty of about $2.1\%$. At the moment it is the most accurate measurement of $R(s)$ in this energy range.

description: Disordered fibrous networks are ubiquitous in nature as major structural components of living cells and tissues. The mechanical stability of networks generally depends on the degree of connectivity: only when the average number of connections between nodes exceeds the isostatic threshold are networks stable (Maxwell, J. C., Philosophical Magazine 27, 294 (1864)). Upon increasing the connectivity through this point, such networks undergo a mechanical phase transition from a floppy to a rigid phase. However, even sub-isostatic networks become rigid when subjected to sufficiently large deformations. To study this strain-controlled transition, we perform a combination of computational modeling of fibre networks and experiments on networks of type I collagen fibers, which are crucial for the integrity of biological tissues. We show theoretically that the development of rigidity is characterized by a strain-controlled continuous phase transition with signatures of criticality. Our experiments demonstrate mechanical properties consistent with our model, including the predicted critical exponents. We show that the nonlinear mechanics of collagen networks can be quantitatively captured by the predictions of scaling theory for the strain-controlled critical behavior over a wide range of network concentrations and strains up to failure of the material.

description: This scoping review will use the definitions proposed by Imms and colleagues (2016) and Chang and Coster (2014) as an organizing structure to examine the focus or content of participation outcomes measured in the literature on young adults with ASD. Specifically, we will examine • Which life situations have and have not been examined? • How has participation in these life situations been measured? (e.g.: standardized instruments vs. surveys; aggregate indexes vs. domain-specific indicators). • What is the depth and breadth of the information obtained? (e.g., single item vs. multiple items; global rating vs. scale) • Whose perspective has been represented? (e.g., individual with ASD; caregiver; clinician)
A Comparison of the Fat Talk Experience in Young and Middle-Aged Women
Creators: name: Miller, Alexandra Jackelyn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Fat talk occurs in both young and middle-aged women. However, little is known about correlates of fat talk or about factors that may strengthen or interrupt the fat talk/body dissatisfaction link. The current study builds on the existing fat talk literature by examining levels of fat talk between young adult women and middle-aged women, strengths of correlates of fat talk across age cohorts, and potential moderators of the relationship between fat talk and body dissatisfaction. Participants were 358 young adult women, age 17-25, and 358 middle-aged women, age 35-63; these were daughter-mother dyads and thus multilevel modeling was used to account for the lack of independence between daughter and mother observations. Participation involved an online survey about core study constructs. Future research should use both longitudinal and experimental designs to examine fat talk in middle-aged women to better understand the causal effects of fat talk across the lifespan.
Label-free quantification

Year: 2023

description: Label-free quantification is an important mass spectrometry method that requires no specific sample labelingInstead, it utilized MS/MS generated signals of specific peptides for comparison to define protein expression modifications between samples. Two alternative label-free quantification strategies are frequently used. Spectra Count (SC) and peptide ion intensities measurements (a.k.a, lC, extracted ion chromatography)with the latter being more accurate and widely used. Label-free quantification requires highly stable and reproducible liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) and has no requirement for expensive isotopes for labelling.
Nations vs States: Nationalist Contest and Violence
Creators: name: Brzezicki, Michal
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: In examining the relationship between nationalism and violence, this thesis seeks to examine a measurable relationship between violence and nationalism. It proposes a theoretical framework of nationalism as a relationship between national identity, the state, and violence, and distinguishes between its two dominant competing forms: ethno-nationalism and state-nationalism. This paper analyzes how ethno-nationalist and state-nationalist identities/platforms have competed against each other in contemporary Russia, and examines how nationalist violence and the “monopoly on violence” have affected, or been affected by, this contest. It finds that a rise in the popularity and relative “strength” of ethno-nationalism correlates with weaker state “ownership” or control over violence, and respective increases in ethno-nationalist violence. Conversely, it demonstrates that a rise in the popularity and relative “strength” of state-nationalism is reflected in more secure state “ownership” or control over violence, and correlates with measurable decreases in ethno-nationalist violence. This is consistent with the prediction of a measurable relationship between nationalism and violence, and presents new approaches to analyzing nationalism and nationalist contests.
Homotopy properties of horizontal loop spaces and applications to closed sub-riemannian geodesics

description: Given a manifold $M$ and a proper sub-bundle $Δ\subset TM$, we study homotopy properties of the horizontal base-point free loop space $Λ$, i.e. the space of absolutely continuous maps $γ:S^1\to M$ whose velocities are constrained to $Δ$ (for example: legendrian knots in a contact manifold). A key technical ingredient for our study is the proof that the base-point map $F:Λ\to M$ (the map associating to every loop its base-point) is a Hurewicz fibration for the $W^{1,2}$ topology on $Λ$. Using this result we show that, even if the space $Λ$ might have deep singularities (for example: constant loops form a singular manifold homeomorphic to $M$), its homotopy can be controlled nicely. In particular we prove that $Λ$ (with the $W^{1,2}$ topology) has the homotopy type of a CW-complex, that its inclusion in the standard base-point free loop space (i.e. the space of loops with no non-holonomic constraint) is a homotopy equivalence, and consequently its homotopy groups can be computed as $π_k(Λ)\simeq π_k(M) \ltimes π_{k+1}(M)$ for all $k\geq 0.$ These topological results are applied, in the second part of the paper, to the problem of the existence of closed sub-riemannian geodesics. In the general case we prove that if $(M, Δ)$ is a compact sub-riemannian manifold, each non trivial homotopy class in $π_1(M)$ can be represented by a closed sub-riemannian geodesic. In the contact case, we prove a min-max result generalizing the celebrated Lyusternik-Fet theorem: if $(M, Δ)$ is a compact, contact manifold, then every sub-riemannian metric on $Δ$ carries at least one closed sub-riemannian geodesic. This result is based on a combination of the above topological results with a delicate study of the Palais-Smale condition in the vicinity of abnormal loops (singular points of $Λ$).

The Electoral Cost of Committee Chairs in a Post-Seniority Era
Creators: name: Freeman, Ryan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: The role of seniority in the Congresses of the twentieth century has been well documented by congressional scholars and political observers alike. For most of that century seniority was akin to power. However, over the course of the last twenty-five years we have observed the weakening of the institution of seniority. One area where this weakening is especially apparent is in the selection of committee chairs. Historically committee chairs were selected on the basis of their seniority. Following the Republican takeover of the House in 1994, party leadership began assigning committee chairs to committee members who demonstrated loyalty to the party. Drawing on elections literature that finds linkages between the partisan loyalty of a member and a decrease in electoral success I evaluate whether a loyalty-based selection system puts committee chairs at an electoral disadvantage. My results demonstrate that institutional changes designed to induce party loyalty in committee chairs can have adverse effects on the electoral vote share of said chairs. However, I fail to find evidence that committee chairs selected under a loyalty-based selection system do any worse electorally relative to rank-and-file members in similar districts.

How superfluid vortex knots untie

description: Knotted and tangled structures frequently appear in physical fields, but so do mechanisms for untying them. To understand how this untying works, we simulate the behavior of 1,458 superfluid vortex knots of varying complexity and scale in the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Without exception, we find that the knots untie efficiently and completely, and do so within a predictable time range. We also observe that the centerline helicity -- a measure of knotting and writhing -- is partially preserved even as the knots untie. Moreover, we find that the topological pathways of untying knots have simple descriptions in terms of minimal 2D knot diagrams, and tend to concentrate in states along specific maximally chiral pathways.
