Bad neighbourhoods, bad influences: The role of external factors in predicting genocide
Creators: name: Matthew Kearns, Cian

Subjects: subject: Political science

description: Too often, poor accuracy limits the performance of risk assessment models for genocide. This casts doubt on new predictions, fomenting inaction amongst the international community and missed opportunities for timely interventions. These models focus almost exclusively on internal country variables as predictors. Genocide studies offers almost no published research examining the spread of genocide across borders. Yet, a global examination of genocide onsets between 1955 and 2016 suggests a geographical clustering effect. This prompts the question of whether this is due to similar internal factors, shared by countries within a geographic area, or if external factors play a greater role in genocide than previously assumed. The key expectation of this thesis is that certain external factors do affect a country’s risk of genocide. Hence, the research investigates what these external factors are and whether their inclusion in risk assessment models improves their predictive performance. It does this by taking an empirically based, quantitative approach. Logistic regressions are used as a proof-of-concept; establishing statistical significant effects of specific external factors. The thesis then pivots towards predictive modelling and compares the performances of machine learning classification models, both with and without external factors. The findings suggest that external factors do matter. Building on democratic peace and Deutschian Integration theory, the strength of democracy in a country’s immediate neighbourhood proves to be a robust indicator of a country’s risk of genocide. Similarly, a country with strongly democratic trading partners appears less at risk. In contrast, a prior instance of genocide within a country’s immediate neighbourhood serves to increase a country’s risk. Ultimately, these results recommend that external factors be included in future risk models for genocide.

description: Psila bertolinii Rondani, 1876
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1876d: 189 (key, as bertolinii), 190 (description, as bertolini).
TYPE LOCALITY: “ in agro tridentino [Trento’s territory (Italy)]”.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (missing head, wings and legs; abdomen in a microvial on a separate pin next to the specimen) (MZUF: Box 36): Psila Mgn / bertolinii Rnd., ♂, Trent. [= Trento] / 1892 / Lectotypus Psila bertolinii Rond., ♂, design. Á. Soós, 1978 / Psila (O.) abdominalis Schum., ♂, det. Á. Soós, 1978.
PARALECTOTYPE EXAMINED: 1 ♀ (missing left wing and left mid-leg) (MZUF: Box 36): Psila Mgn / bertolinii Rnd., ♀, Trent. [= Trento] / 1892 / Paralectotypus Psila bertolinii Rond., ♀, design. Á. Soós, 1978 / Psila (O.) abdominalis Schum., ♀, det. Á. Soós, 1978.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Oxypsila abdominalis (Schummel, 1844) (Soós 1984a: 29, Nartshuk et al. 1995: 4).
REMARKS: Rondani (1876d: 190) described both sexes of Psila bertolinii without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens: “ raro lectus uterque sexus a Cl. De Bertolini [both sexes rarely collected by Mr. De Bertolini]”. Soós (1982b: 156) designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotype (♀). Rondani spelled this nominal species as “ bertolinii ” in his key (p. 189) and as “ bertolini ” in his description (p. 190) and index (p. 198). Becker (1905: 159) Hennig (1941: 16) and Soós (1982b: 156) listed this nominal species as “ bertolini ”, Soós (1984a: 29) and Nartshuk et al. (1995: 4) listed it as “ bertolinii ”. O’Hara et al. (2011: 207) listed both names and, acting as First Revisers (according to I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 24.2.3), they determined “ bertolinii ” as the correct original spelling and “ bertolini” as the incorrect original spelling

description: By removing the smearing effect of capillary waves in molecular dynamics simulations we are able to provide a microscopic picture of the region around the moving contact line (MCL) at an unprecedented resolution. On this basis, we show that the continuum character of the velocity field is unaffected by molecular layering down to below the molecular scale. The solution of the continuum Stokes problem with MCL and Navier-slip matches very well the molecular dynamics data and is consistent with a slip-length of 42 Å and small contact line dissipation. This is consistent with observations of the local force balance near the liquid-solid interface.

description: Ionization feedback should impact the probability distribution function (PDF) of the column density around the ionized gas. We aim to quantify this effect and discuss its potential link to the Core and Initial Mass Function (CMF/IMF). We used in a systematic way Herschel column density maps of several regions observed within the HOBYS key program: M16, the Rosette and Vela C molecular cloud, and the RCW 120 H ii region. We fitted the column density PDFs of all clouds with two lognormal distributions, since they present a double-peak or enlarged shape in the PDF. Our interpretation is that the lowest part of the column density distribution describes the turbulent molecular gas while the second peak corresponds to a compression zone induced by the expansion of the ionized gas into the turbulent molecular cloud. The condensations at the edge of the ionized gas have a steep compressed radial profile, sometimes recognizable in the flattening of the power-law tail. This could lead to an unambiguous criterion able to disentangle triggered from pre-existing star formation. In the context of the gravo-turbulent scenario for the origin of the CMF/IMF, the double peaked/enlarged shape of the PDF may impact the formation of objects at both the low-mass and the high-mass end of the CMF/IMF. In particular a broader PDF is required by the gravo-turbulent scenario to fit properly the IMF with a reasonable initial Mach number for the molecular cloud. Since other physical processes (e.g. the equation of state and the variations among the core properties) have already been suggested to broaden the PDF, the relative importance of the different effects remains an open question.

description: We study the surface modes of a homogeneous spherical gain medium and provide a comprehensive analytic treatment of a special class of these modes that support spectral singularities. Because the latter have a divergent quality factor, we call them the singular gallery modes. We show that they can be excited using arbitrarily small amounts of gain, and as a result, the system lacks a lasing threshold, effectively. This shows that we can realize spectral singularities in the surface modes of extremely small spherical samples with modest amounts of gain. We also examine the possibility of exciting singular gallery modes with different wavelengths using the same amount of gain. This corresponds to the situation where the system undergoes simultaneous lasing at different wavelengths.

description: We prove the existence of a unique family of non-oscillatory (purely-imaginary) polar quasinormal resonances of rapidly-rotating Kerr black holes. These purely imaginary resonances can be expressed in the compact form: w_n=-i2*pi*T_{BH}*(l+1+n), where T_{BH} is the black-hole temperature, l is the spheroidal harmonic index of the mode, and n=0,1,2,... is the resonance parameter. It is shown that our analytical results for the black-hole resonance spectrum agree with new numerical data that recently appeared in the literature.

description: In this paper, we study the influence of the Aharonov-Casher effect [Y. Aharonov and A. Casher, Phys. Rev. Lett. 53, 319 (1984).] on the Dirac oscillator in three different scenarios of general relativity: the Minkowski spacetime, the cosmic string spacetime and the cosmic dislocation spacetime. In this way, we solve the Dirac equation and obtain the energy levels for bound states and the Dirac spinors for positive-energy solutions. We show that the relativistic energy levels depend on the Aharonov-Casher geometric phase. We also discuss the influence of curvature and torsion on the relativistic energy levels and the Dirac spinors due to the topology of the cosmic string and cosmic dislocation spacetimes.

description: Comparing the excursion set and CUSP formalisms for the derivation of the halo mass function, we investigate the role of the mass definition in the properties of the multiplicity function of cold dark matter (CDM) haloes. We show that the density profile for haloes formed from triaxial peaks that undergo ellipsoidal collapse and virialisation is such that the ratio between the mean inner density and the outer local density is essentially independent of mass. This causes that, for suited values of the spherical overdensity $Δ$ and the linking length $b$, SO and FoF masses are essentially equivalent to each other and the respective multiplicity functions are essentially the same. The overdensity for haloes having undergone ellipsoidal collapse is the same as if they had formed according to the spherical top-hat model, which leads to a value of $b$ corresponding to the usual virial overdensity, $Δ_{vir}$, equal to $\sim$ 0.2. The multiplicity function resulting from such mass definitions, expressed as a function of the top-hat height for spherical collapse, is very approximately universal in all CDM cosmologies. The reason for this is that, for such mass definitions, the top-hat density contrast for ellipsoidal collapse and virialisation is close to a universal value, equal to $\sim$ 0.9 times the usual top-hat density contrast for spherical collapse.

description: DNA long-term stability and integrity is of importance for applications in DNA based bio-dosimetry, data-storage, pharmaceutical quality-control, donor insemination and DNA based functional nanomaterials. Standard protocols for these applications involve repeated freeze-thaw cycles of the DNA, which can cause detrimental damage to the nucleobases, as well as the sugar-phosphate backbone and therefore the whole molecule. Throughout the literature three hypotheses can be found about the underlying mechanisms occurring during freeze-thaw cycles. It is hypothesized that DNA single-strand breaks during freezing can be induced by mechanical stress leading to shearing of the DNA molecule, by acidic pH causing damage through depurination and beta elimination or by the presence of metal ions catalyzing oxidative damage via reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here we test these hypotheses under well defined conditions with plasmid DNA pUC19 in high-purity buffer (1xPBS) at physiological salt and pH 7.4 conditions, under pH 6 and in the presence of metal ions in combination with the radical scavengers DMSO and Ectoine. The results show for the 2686 bp long plasmid DNA, that neither mechanical stress, nor pH 6 lead to degradation during repeated freeze-thaw cycles. In contrast, the presence of metal ions (Fe2+) leads to degradation of DNA via the production of radical species.

description: Thin soft elastic layers serving as joints between relatively rigid bodies may function as sealants, thermal, electrical, or mechanical insulators, bearings, or adhesives. When such a joint is stressed, even though perfect adhesion is maintained, the exposed free meniscus in the thin elastic layer becomes unstable, leading to the formation of spatially periodic digits of air that invade the elastic layer, reminiscent of viscous fingering in a thin fluid layer. How- ever, the elastic instability is reversible and rate-independent, dis- appearing when the joint is unstressed. We use theory, experiments, and numerical simulations to show that the transition to the digital state is sudden (first-order), the wavelength and amplitude of the fingers are proportional to the thickness of the elastic layer, and the required separation to trigger the instability is inversely proportional to the in-plane dimension of the layer. Our study reveals the energetic origin of this instability and has implications for the strength of polymeric adhesives; it also suggests a method for patterning thin films reversibly with any arrangement of localized fingers in a digital elastic memory, which we confirm experimentally.

description: The spatio-temporal evolution of the Saharan dust and biomass-burning plume during the SAMUM-2 field campaign in January and February 2008 is simulated at 28 km horizontal resolution with the regional model-system COSMOMUSCAT. The model performance is thoroughly tested using routine ground-based and space-borne remote sensing and local field measurements. Good agreement with the observations is found in many cases regarding transport patterns, aerosol optical thicknesses and the ratio of dust to smoke aerosol. The model also captures major features of the complex aerosol layering. Nevertheless, discrepancies in the modelled aerosol distribution occur, which are analysed in detail. The dry synoptic dynamics controlling dust uplift and transport during the dry season are well described by the model, but surface wind peaks associated with the breakdown of nocturnal low-level jets are not always reproduced. Thus, a strong dust outbreak is underestimated. While dust emission modelling is a priori more challenging, since strength and placement of dust sources depend on on-line computed winds, considerable inaccuracies also arise in observation-based estimates of biomass-burning emissions. They are caused by cloud and spatial errors of satellite fire products and uncertainties in fire emission parameters, and can lead to unrealistic model results of smoke transport.

REMARKS: misidentification. Rondani (1861g: 381) incorrectly identified a specimen of a new species as Sarcophaga arvorum Meigen, 1826 (Böttcher 1913: 184, Pape 1988: 17). Rohdendorf (1937: 361) proposed the new nominal species name Pierretia rondaniana for Sarcophaga arvorum sensu Rondani.

description: We establish a one-to-one correspondence between virialized haloes and their seeds, namely peaks with a given density contrast at appropriate Gaussian-filtering radii, in the initial Gaussian random density field. This fixes a rigorous formalism for the analytic derivation of halo properties from the linear power spectrum of density perturbations in any hierarchical cosmology. The typical spherically averaged density profile and mass function of haloes so obtained match those found in numerical simulations.

description: The SAMUM-2 experiment took place in the Cape Verde is lands in January–February 2008. The colocated ground-based and airborne instruments allow the study of desert dust optical and microphysical properties in a closure experiment. The Meteorological Institute of the University of Munich deployed one sun-sky photometer and two tropospheric lidar systems. A travelling AERONET-Cimel sun-sky radiometer was also deployed. During the measurement period the aerosol scenario over Cape Verde mostly consisted of a dust layer below 2 km and a smoke-dust layer above 2–4 km a.s.l. The Saharan dust arrived at the site from the NE, whereas the smoke originated in the African equatorial region. This paper describes the main results of the Sun photometer observations, supported by lidar information. An analysis of the variations in the aerosol optical depth (AOD) in the range 340–1550 nm, the Ångström exponent, volume size distributions and single scattering albedo is presented. The aerosol mixtures are analysed by means of the fine mode fraction of the AOD provided by the sun-sky inversion data and the Spectral Deconvolution Algorithm. The mean AOD (500 nm) was 0.31, with associated low ångström exponent of 0.46. Several types of events were detected within the data set, with prevalence of dust or mixtures as characterized by the Ångstr¨om exponents of extinction and absorption and the fine mode fraction. Aerosol properties derived from sunphotometry were compared to in situ measurements of size distribution, effective radius and single scattering albedo.

description: We present evidence for kinematically decoupled cores (KDCs) in two dwarf early-type (dE) galaxies in the Virgo cluster, VCC 1183 and VCC 1453, studied as part of the SMAKCED stellar absorption-line spectroscopy and imaging survey. These KDCs have radii of 1.8'' (0.14 kpc) and 4.2'' (0.33 kpc), respectively. Each of these KDCs is distinct from the main body of its host galaxy in two ways: (1) inverted sense of rotation; and (2) younger (and possibly more metal-rich) stellar population. The observed stellar population differences are probably associated with the KDC, although we cannot rule out the possibility of intrinsic radial gradients in the host galaxy. We describe a statistical analysis method to detect, quantify the significance of, and characterize KDCs in long-slit rotation curve data. We apply this method to the two dE galaxies presented in this paper and to five other dEs for which KDCs have been reported in the literature. Among these seven dEs, there are four significant KDC detections, two marginal KDC detections, and one dE with an unusual central kinematic anomaly that may be an asymmetric KDC.The frequency of occurence of KDCs and their properties provide important constraints on the formation history of their host galaxies. We discuss different formation scenarios for these KDCs in cluster environments and find that dwarf-dwarf wet mergers or gas accretion can explain the properties of these KDCs. Both of these mechanisms require that the progenitor had a close companion with a low relative velocity. This suggests that KDCs were formed in galaxy pairs residing in a poor group environment or in isolation whose subsequent infall into the cluster quenched star formation.

description: In an ideal bulk topological-insulator (TI) conducting surface states protected by time reversal symmetry enfold an insulating crystal. However, the archetypical TI, Bi2Se3, is actually never insulating; it is in fact a relatively good metal. Nevertheless, it is the most studied system among all the TIs, mainly due to its simple band-structure and large spin-orbit gap. Recently it was shown that copper intercalated Bi2Se3 becomes superconducting and it was suggested as a realization of a topological superconductor (TSC). Here we use a combination of techniques that are sensitive to the shape of the Fermi surface (FS): the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) effect and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to study the evolution of the FS shape with carrier concentration, n. We find that as n increases, the FS becomes 2D-like. These results are of crucial importance for understanding the superconducting properties of CuxBi2Se3.

Galactic star formation enhanced and quenched by ram pressure in groups and clusters

description: We investigate how ram pressure of intragroup and intracluster medium can influence the spatial and temporal variations of star formation (SF) of disk galaxies with halo masses (M_h) ranging from 10^10 M_sun to 10^12 M_sun (i.e., from dwarf irregular to Milky Way-type) in groups and clusters with 10^13 < M_h/M_sun < 10^15 by using numerical simulations with a new model for time-varying ram pressure. The long-term evolution of SF rates and H_alpha morphologies corresponding to the distributions of star-forming regions are particularly investigated for different model parameters. The principal results are as follows. Whether ram pressure can enhance or reduce SF depends on M_h of disk galaxies and inclination angles of gas disks with respect to their orbital directions for a given orbit and a given environment. For example, SF can be moderately enhanced in disk galaxies with M_h=10^12 M_sun at the pericenter passages in a cluster with M_h=10^14 M_sun whereas it can be completely shut down (`quenching') for low-mass disks with M_h=10^10 M_sun. Ram pressure can reduce the H_alpha-to-optical-disk-size ratios of disks and the revel of the reduction depends on M_h and orbits of disk galaxies for a given environment. Disk galaxies under strong ram pressure show characteristic H_alpha morphologies such as ring-like, one-sided, and crescent-like distributions.

description: One way to constrain the nature of the high-redshift progenitors of the Milky Way is to look at the low-metallicity stellar populations of the different Galactic components today. For example, high-resolution spectroscopy of very metal poor (VMP) stars demonstrates remarkable agreement between the distribution of [Ti/Fe] in the stellar populations of the Milky Way halo (MW) and ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies. In contrast, for the neutron capture (nc) abundance ratio distributions [(Sr,Ba)/Fe], the peak of the small UFD sample (6 stars) exhibits a signicant under-abundance relative to the VMP stars in the larger MW halo sample (~ 300 stars). We present a simple scenario that can simultaneously explain these similarities and differences by assuming: (i) that the MW VMP stars were predominately enriched by a prior generation of stars which possessed a higher total mass than the prior generation of stars that enriched the UFD VMP stars; and (ii) a much stronger mass-dependent yield (MDY) for nc-elements than for the (known) MDY for Ti. Simple statistical tests demonstrate that conditions (i) and (ii) are consistent with the observed abundance distributions, albeit without strong constraints on model parameters. A comparison of the broad constraints for these nc-MDY with those derived in the literature seems to rule out Ba production from low-mass SNs and affirms models that primarily generate yields from high-mass SN. Our scenario can be confirmed by a relatively modest (factor of ~ 3-4) increase in the number of high-resolution spectra of VMP stars in UFDs.
