title: "With strange fantastic motions" : the development of the early Stuart antimasque
Creators: name: Horrocks, Rachel Pamela
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: This thesis charts the development of the early Stuart antimasque, from its origins in Elizabethan progress entertainments to its extended presence in the final Caroline masques. Scholarship has traditionally located the antimasque’s inception in Jonson’s 1609 Masque of Queens. Taking up Jonson’s description of the antimasque as a “foil or false masque,” critics have spoken of the antimasque in primarily negative terms, focusing on instances where it is wild, indecorous, or threatening. By focussing on a broader selection of masques written by a range of authors, my study addresses the tremendous variety inherent in the antimasque and its role as an essential element of the masque form. The body of my thesis offers a chronological study of the antimasque. Each chapter concentrates on the masques of a particular historical moment, exploring the antimasque- masque relationship through a series of emerging metaphors. Chapter One studies the antimasque’s precursors in Elizabethan progress entertainments. Chapter Two discusses the masques of the early Jacobean period in connection with the metaphor of the Golden Chain. Chapter Three applies Jonson’s foil metaphor to the Palatine wedding masques of 1613. Chapter Four addresses the labyrinthine imagery in the masques of Buckingham’s ascendency in the early 1620s. Chapter Five discusses the mirror metaphor within Charles and Henrietta Maria’s Neoplatonic paired masques of the early 1630s. Finally, Chapter Six explores the function of clouds in Davenant’s final Caroline masques. Rooted in a close reading of masque texts, the present study provides an “imaginative reconstruction” of a variety of masques to understand how their disparate elements produce a unified aesthetic experience. Rather than a simple binary opposition, the antimasque-masque relationship is continually regenerated according to cultural as well as political pressures, and its development is central to the progression of the masque form as a whole.

description: The testing and verification of a complex hardware or software system, such as modern integrated circuits (ICs) found in everything from smartphones to servers, can be a difficult process. One of the most difficult and time-consuming tasks a verification team faces is reaching coverage closure, or hitting all events in the coverage space. Coverage-directed-generation (CDG), or the automatic generation of tests that can hit hard-to-hit coverage events, and thus provide coverage closure, holds the potential to save verification teams significant simulation resources and time. In this paper, we propose a new approach to the CDG problem by formulating the CDG problem as a noisy derivative free optimization (DFO) problem. However, this formulation is complicated by the fact that derivatives of the objective function are unavailable, and the objective function evaluations are corrupted by noise. We solve this noisy optimization problem by utilizing techniques from direct optimization coupled with a robust noise estimator, and by leveraging techniques from inverse problems to estimate the gradient of the noisy objective function. We demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of this new approach through numerical experiments with an abstract model of part of IBM's NorthStar processor, a superscalar in-order processor designed for servers.

description: This work highlights how the costs and CO2-emissions of land-based wind turbines can be reduced by means of an innovative and material efficient support structure concept. Thereby the yaw system is placed at the tower base, allowing the whole wind turbine tower to be rotated. The potential of a rotatable inclined lattice tower concept was analysed by means of aero-servo-elastic load simulations in the FAST environment. A balance between different cost aspects revealed significant savings.

description: Team 10 has been contacted by the UBC SEEDS (Social Ecological Economic Development Studies) Sustainability Program to develop a design for Phase 4 of the Wesbrook Mall Redesign project. The Phase 4 design must address the failing road structure and improve the transportation experience between Thunderbird Boulevard and W 16th Avenue. The following report summarizes Team 10’s detailed design. Team 10’s detailed design is estimated to cost $7.52 Million CAD and will take seven months to complete from project start. Key features of the design consist of rebuilding the roadway, introducing protected unidirectional cycle lanes on both sides of the road, adding a dedicated northbound bus lane, and constructing a protected pedestrian overpass. The asphalt roadway will be replaced by completing a full road rebuild that will provide a strong base and subbase underlying the freshly paved road surface. To tie in with the existing infrastructure, unidirectional cycle tracks will be installed on either side of the roadway. These cycle tracks will be raised above the roadway, and placed between the on-street parking lanes and the sidewalk for additional protection from road users. The dedicated northbound bus lane will begin on the north end of the pedestrian overpass, located over the crosswalk between Gerald McGavin Rugby Centre and Panhellenic House, and tie in with the bus lane at Thunderbird Boulevard. Additionally, the bus pullout bay adjacent to the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre will be removed and filled in with new green infrastructure, creating an in lane bus stop and reducing impermeable surface area. The pedestrian overpass is a steel girder bridge with a timber and glass roof structure that preserves the natural campus aesthetic while providing a safe means of crossing the Wesbrook corridor. Team 10 is confident in this design and is excited to collaborate with the UBC SEEDS Sustainability Program to ensure the optimal solution for this vital UBC corridor is delivered.

description: This paper shows how mesoscopic nonequilibrium thermodynamics can be applied to condensation and evaporation. By extending the normal set of thermodynamic variables with two internal variables, we are able to give a new theoretical foundation for a mechanism of condensation that has been proposed from molecular simulation results. The flux does not follow a simple Arrhenius formula for small activation energies which are relevant here.

description: Une étude à court terme entre octobre 2011 et juin 2012 sur un échantillon de 105 curistes souffrant de troubles du sommeil, quelque soient leurs orientations dans les indications médicales de la station de Néris-les-Bains. L’insomnie est un symptôme fréquent (1 personne sur 3) et le recours aux médicaments trop largement utilisé, devient un enjeu de santé publique. La crénobalnéothérapie apparaît comme une alternative de soin très intéressante.
Méthode  : Auto-questionnaire d’évaluation du sommeil de Leeds : échelle subjective composée de 10 échelles visuelles analogiques portant sur 4 aspects de l’efficacité du sommeil durant les 1ère, 2ème et 3ème semaines de cure.
Résultats : 5 dossiers sur 105 n’ont pas été interprétables quant à l’auto-questionnaire. Le curseur a évolué positivement entre la 1ère et la 3ème semaine de cure. Il ressort un endormissement moins long pour 9 % des curistes, moins pénible pour 12 %, un sommeil de meilleure qualité pour 28 %, une meilleure forme au réveil pour 20 %, avec un bon équilibre pour 21 %, et un équilibre plus satisfaisant dans la journée pour 18 % (différence peu significative sur la facilité de réveil, 2 %).
Conclusion : La station de Néris-les-Bains semble offrir un environnement et des soins de crénobalnéothérapie favorables à une meilleure qualité du sommeil. Une étude randomisée menée selon les critères méthodologiques actuels permettrait de valider une telle observation.
description: A short-term study between October 2011 and June 2012 over a sample of 105 persons having hydrotherapy suffering of sleeping disorders, whatever their orientations in the medical indications in the spa of Néris-les-Bains. Insomnia is a frequent symptom (1 person in 3) and resorting too often to medicines is becoming a public health issue. Crenobalneotherapy appears as a very interesting care alternative.
Method : Leeds auto-questionnaire of sleep evaluation : subjective scale consisting of 10 analogical visual scales addressing 4 aspects of sleep efficiency during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd weeks of treatment at the spa.
Results : 5 out of 105 files could not be interpreted regarding the auto-questionnaire. The cursor has evolved positively between the 1st and the 3rd weeks of treatment. It highlights a shorter sleeping period for 9 % of the patients, less hard for 12 %, a better quality sleep for 28 %, a better shape when waking up for 20 %, with a good balance for 21 %, and a more satisfying balance during the day for 18 % (little significant difference on waking up ability, 2 %).
Conclusion : Néris-les-Bains spa seems to offer an environment and crenobalneotherapy care favourable to a better sleep quality. A randomised study led according to current methodological criteria would enable the validation of such an observation.
Multiple-impulse orbital maneuver with limited observation window

description: This paper proposes a solution for multiple-impulse orbital maneuvers near circular orbits for special cases where orbital observations are not globally available and the spacecraft is being observed through a limited window from a ground or a space-based station. The current study is particularly useful for small private launching companies with limited access to global observations around the Earth and/or for orbital maneuvers around other planets for which the orbital observations are limited to the in situ equipment. An appropriate cost function is introduced for the sake of minimizing the total control/impulse effort as well as the orbital uncertainty. It is subsequently proved that for a circle-to-circle maneuver, the optimization problem is quasi-convex with respect to the design variables. For near circular trajectories the same cost function is minimized via a gradient based optimization algorithm in order to provide a sub-optimal solution that is efficient both with respect to energy effort and orbital uncertainty. As a relevant case study, a four-impulse orbital maneuver between circular orbits under Mars gravitation is simulated and analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Starbursts in barred spiral galaxies. VI. HI observations and the K-band Tully-Fisher relation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: This paper is primarily a study of the effect of a bar on the neutral hydrogen (HI) content of starburst and Seyfert galaxies. We also make comparisons with a sample of ``normal'' galaxies and investigate how well starburst and Seyfert galaxies follow the fundamental scaling Tully-Fisher (TF) relation defined for normal galaxies. 111 Markarian (Mrk) IRAS galaxies were observed at the Nancay radiotelescope. These measurements are complemented by data from the literature to form a sample of 105 unbarred and 113 barred Mrk IRAS galaxies. Barred galaxies have lower total and bias-corrected HI masses than unbarred galaxies, and this is true for both Mrk IRAS and normal galaxies. This robust result suggests that bars funnel the HI gas toward the center of the galaxy where it becomes molecular before forming new stars. The Mrk IRAS galaxies have higher bias-corrected HI masses than normal galaxies. They also show significant departures from the TF relation, both in the B and K bands. The most deviant points from the TF relation tend to have a strong far-infrared luminosity and a low oxygen abundance. These results suggest that a fraction of our Mrk IRAS galaxies are still in the process of formation, and that their neutral HI gas, partly of external origin, has not yet reached a stationary state.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 674707, unsexed [male], collected in Tasmania, Australia, in 1876, from the collection of Walter Chamberlain. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3719) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype and its bill measurement of 67 mm. Besides the Chamberlain label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels, it also bears a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was the model for Mathews (1926, pl. 590, opp. p. 390; text p. 391) where it is confirmed as the type of tasmanicus. On page 391, Mathews gave the following measurements: wing 362 mm, bill 61 mm, tarsus 72. Mathews’ measurements written on the reverse of Chamberlain’s label: wing 358, bill 67, tarsus 70. I measure wing 360, bill 66, tarsus 70.
Rowley (1970: 32, 53–55) elevated tasmanicus to species level, and Schodde and Mason (1999: 609–610) and dos Anjos (2009: 634–635) agreed.

description: We use a construction which we call generalized cylinders to give a new proof of the fundamental theorem of hypersurface theory. It has the advantage of being very simple and the result directly extends to semi-Riemannian manifolds and to embeddings into spaces of constant curvature. We also give a new way to identify spinors for different metrics and to derive the variation formula for the Dirac operator. Moreover, we show that generalized Killing spinors for Codazzi tensors are restrictions of parallel spinors. Finally, we study the space of Lorentzian metrics and give a criterion when two Lorentzian metrics on a manifold can be joined in a natural manner by a 1-parameter family of such metrics.

description: The CREAMS (Chemicals, Runoff, and Erosion from Agricultural Management Systems) model was used to evaluate soil and nutrient losses for typical field situations in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A wide range of field scenarios was modeled as part of the economic evaluation of the RCWP (Rural Clean Water Program) project. Best management practices (BMPs) reduced surface losses of nutrients. Reducing the amount of nitrogen applied to the field was the only effective method for reducing percolate losses of nitrates. Stored manure provides more plant-available nitrogen than does daily-spread manure.

description: We show that in the search of a unified mean field description of finite nuclei and of nuclear and neutron matter even at high densities, the relativistic nuclear model derived from effective field theory and density functional theory methods constitutes a competitive framework. The model predicts a soft equation of state, owing to the additional meson interaction terms, consistently with the results of the microscopic Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory and recent experimental observations from heavy ion collisions. In finite systems, after inclusion of the pairing correlations, the model is able to describe both stable and exotic nuclei. We address two examples at the limits of the nuclear landscape. On the one hand, we analyze the giant halo effect and the isoscalar giant monopole resonance in very neutron-rich Zr isotopes. On the other hand, we discuss the structure of superheavy nuclei with double shell closures.

Attributed to spin Berry phase and symmetry of the hopfion, the phase space entangles multiple collective coordinates, thus the hopfion exhibits rich dynamics including longitudinal motion along the current direction, transverse motion perpendicular to the current direction, rotational motion and dilation. Furthermore, the characteristics of hopfion dynamics is determined by the ratio between the non-adiabatic spin transfer torque parameter and the damping parameter. Such peculiar 3D dynamics of magnetic hopfion could shed light on understanding the universal physics of hopfions in different systems and boost the prosperous development of 3D spintronics.

description: A method for musical audio synthesis using autoencoding neural networks is proposed. The autoencoder is trained to compress and reconstruct magnitude short-time Fourier transform frames. The autoencoder produces a spectrogram by activating its smallest hidden layer, and a phase response is calculated using real-time phase gradient heap integration. Taking an inverse short-time Fourier transform produces the audio signal. Our algorithm is light-weight when compared to current state-of-the-art audio-producing machine learning algorithms. We outline our design process, produce metrics, and detail an open-source Python implementation of our model.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία θα ασχοληθεί με τη μελέτη για την ίδρυση υποκαταστήματος επιχείρησης εμπορίας ανταλλακτικών αυτοκινήτων. Στηριζόμενοι σε πραγματικά δεδομένα εξετάζουμε την επέκταση της αποθήκης και καταστήματος μέσω της δημιουργίας ενός υποκαταστήματος που θα στηρίζει τη διανομή και τις πωλήσεις σε μια γεωγραφικά απομακρυσμένη περιοχή. Επίσης, είναι γνωστό ότι η κεντρική αποθήκη και το κατάστημα λειτουργούν σε μία συγκεκριμένη τοποθεσία για περισσότερο από 30 χρόνια. Ακόμη θεωρούμε πως το όνομα της επιχείρησης έχει γίνει γνωστό και στις γύρω περιοχές, με αποτέλεσμα αρκετοί πελάτες να προέρχονται από αυτές. Την συνεργασία αυτή δυσχεραίνει το πρόβλημα της απόστασης από και προς το κατάστημα, για την αγορά ανταλλακτικών. Παράλληλα, η μεγάλη συσσώρευση του εμπορεύματος σε ένα χώρο, δημιουργεί εύλογα τις σκέψεις για την ίδρυση του υποκαταστήματος. Η συγκεκριμένη μελέτη παρουσιάζει αρχικά τα στοιχεία που χαρακτηρίζουν το κατάστημα όπως τα υλικά που εμπορεύεται, ο χώρος που στεγάζεται και το νομοθετικό πλαίσιο λειτουργίας του (Περάκης, 2019)  καθώς και την κατάσταση βασικών παραγόντων που θα συντελέσουν στην επιτυχία του νέου καταστήματος, όπως ο υπάρχον ανταγωνισμός (Τριανταφυλλάκης, 2019), η ανάλυση των αναγκών του καταναλωτή και η τμηματοποίηση της αγοράς (Fahy & Jobber, 2014). Στη συνέχεια, καταγράφονται οι στόχοι που έχει θέσει η επιχείρηση και αναπτύσσεται το αναλυτικό πλάνο μάρκετινγκ και διαφήμισης (Παντουβάκης, Σιώμκος & Χρήστου, 2015)  με σκοπό το νέο υπό-κατάστημα να λειτουργήσει με επιτυχία. Τέλος, παρουσιάζεται η χρηματοοικονομική ανάλυση της εταιρείας, μέσω της οποίας θα συντελεστούν οι προβλέψεις για την πορεία της τα επόμενα πέντε χρόνια από την ίδρυσή της. Η χρηματοοικονομική ανάλυση συνδυάζεται με εναλλακτικές λύσεις λειτουργίας της εφοδιαστικής αλυσίδας μεταξύ του κεντρικού καταστήματος – αποθήκης και του σχεδιαζόμενου υποκαταστήματος. Η χρηματοοικονομική ανάλυση περιλαμβάνει Κατάσταση Αποτελεσμάτων Χρήσης, Ανάλυση των Χρηματοροών, Υπολογισμό του Νεκρού Σημείου της επιχείρησης καθώς και υπολογισμούς δεικτών απόδοσης (Ζοπουνίδης, 2013). Τα οικονομικά στοιχεία συνδυάζονται με το επίπεδο εξυπηρέτησης της αλυσίδας. Βεβαίως, εφόσον το περιβάλλον λειτουργίας είναι δυναμικά μεταβαλλόμενο, εξετάζονται διάφορα σενάρια σχετικά με την πρόβλεψη της αισιόδοξης, της αναμενόμενης καθώς και της απαισιόδοξης εξέλιξης της πορείας της εφοδιαστικής αλυσίδας. Η μελέτη καταλήγει σε μια ανάλυση SWOT (Παντουβάκης, Σιώμκος, Χρήστου, 2015) με στόχο την παρουσίαση των αποτελεσμάτων και την εξαγωγή των τελικών συμπερασμάτων.

description: We consider the short-distance expansion of the product of two gluon field strength tensors connected by a straight-line-ordered Wilson line. The vacuum expectation value of this nonlocal operator is a common object in studies of the QCD vacuum structure, whereas its nucleon expectation value is known as the gluon quasi-parton distribution and is receiving a lot of attention as a tool to extract gluon distribution functions from lattice calculations. Extending our previous study, we calculate the three-loop coefficient functions of the scalar operators in the operator product expansion up to dimension four. As a by-product, the three-loop anomalous dimension of the nonlocal two-gluon operator is obtained as well.

description: The inconsistent Hubble constant values derived from cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations and from local distance-ladder measurements may suggest new physics beyond the standard $Λ$CDM paradigm. It has been found in earlier works that, at least phenomenologically, non-standard recombination histories can reduce the $\gtrsim 4σ$ Hubble tension to $\sim 2σ$. Following this path, we vary physical and phenomenological parameters in RECFAST, the standard code to compute ionization history of the universe, to explore possible physics beyond standard recombination. We find that the CMB constraint on the Hubble constant is sensitive to the Hydrogen ionization energy and $2s \rightarrow 1s$ two-photon decay rate, both of which are atomic constants, and is insensitive to other details of recombination. Thus, the Hubble tension is very robust against perturbations of recombination history, unless exotic physics modifies the atomic constants during the recombination epoch.

Corvus marianae halmaturinus Mathews, 1912a: 443 (Kangaroo Island, South Australia).
Now Corvus mellori Mathews, 1912. See Mathews, 1926: 390–402; Hartert, 1929a: 53; Mathews, 1930: 894–895; Blake and Vaurie, 1962: 276– 277; Rowley, 1970: 50–53; Schodde and Mason, 1999: 611; and dos Anjos, 2009: 634.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 674594, juvenile male, collected on Kangaroo Island, 35.50S, 137.06E (USBGN, 1957), South Australia, Australia, on 20 October 1905. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3725) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype and the wing measurement of 291 mm. In his catalog, Mathews added that the specimen was from Middle River on Kangaroo Island. Hartert (1929a: 53) further added that the type was a juvenile male with the wing feathers not fully grown, collected by Edwin Ashby.
Rowley (1970: 50) acted as first revisor by choosing C. marianae mellori to have priority over C. marianae halmaturinus, described on the same page. Schodde and Mason (1999: 611) and dos Anjos (2009: 634) agreed.
[ANWC (CSIRO) presented a topotype to AMNH, now AMNH 814046 (ANWC no. 6022), immature female?, collected on Kangaroo Island, on 26 August 1966, by R. Coles, prepared by H. Dimpel. I measure the wing 295 mm, bill 44, tarsus 58. This topotype is retained with the types.]

description: Ozone and sulfur dioxide--gaseous air pollutants--can reduce the yields of key agricultural crops such as soybeans, corn, wheat, citrus fruit, cotton, and peanuts by interfering with plant photosynthesis. In general, the greater the pollutant concentration, the greater the yield reduction. Based on this biological evidence, economists are now estimating dollar impacts of ozone pollution on agriculture. By contrast, evidence on the biological impacts of acid rain on crops, soils, and forests is much less clear, often ambiguous. Some acid rain impacts can be favorable, because rainfall acids contain nitrogen and sulfur-- major plant nutrients. On balance, acid rain seems to be far less damaging to agriculture (if damaging at all) than the gaseous pollutants. Nevertheless, gaseous pollutants and acidity in rain both originate to a significant degree from the same or similar sources--man's pollutant emissions to the atmosphere.

description: The present study aimed to examine the effects of the character strength of kindness on subjective wellbeing. It was conducted through an online free forum, which was constructed for the present study. The participants (N = 54) were 34 women and 20 men, aged 18-55 years old. They were divided into two groups, an experimental and a control group, matched in age and gender. Participants in the ‘counting kindness’ intervention were asked to keep track of their kind actions every day for a week and write them on the forum along with their feelings and thoughts on those actions. Participants in the control group were asked to write their daily routine also every day for a week. Participants were also asked to complete questionnaires measuring subjective wellbeing before the intervention, a month after, and two months after the intervention (follow-up measurement). The results showed that subjective wellbeing as an overall sense of wellbeing and its specific components was enhanced for participants in the kindness intervention. Possible mechanisms for the effectiveness of the intervention are discussed.

EMOTION KNOWLEDGE AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE: A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF PRESCHOOL AND FIRST-GRADE GREEK STUDENTS
Creators: name: Poulou, Maria S.
Publisher: name: Hellenic Journal of Psychology

Subjects: Emotion knowledge; Emotional competence; Social competence

description: Even young children think about their own and others’ behaviors, including emotions. Such cognitions and emotions about self and others convey information that is crucial to social interactions and relationships. The present study aimed at exploring young children’s emotional knowledge processes, the role of gender in these processes, and their association with teacherreported early school adjustment. It also aimed at testing the validity of a model of emotional knowledge in the Greek context. Two-hundred and fifty-two preschool and first grade primary school students were interviewed with the Affect Knowledge Test (AKT). Preschool and first grade primary teachers rated children’s early school adjustment with the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation (SCBE-30). The results highlighted the association of children’s emotion knowledge with school adjustment. A theoretical model of emotion knowledge for preschool and early primary education students is proposed.
