description: We present a comprehensive study of the stellar population and the interstellar medium in NGC 6822 using high-quality \HI data (obtained with the Australia Telescope Compact Array) and optical broad/narrow-band data (obtained with Subaru and the INT). Our H$α$ observations are an order of magnitude deeper than previous studies and reveal a complex filamentary network covering almost the entire central disk of NGC 6822. We find hitherto unknown HII regions in the outskirts of NGC 6822 and the companion galaxy. The old and intermediate age stellar population can be traced out to radii of over 0.6 deg (> 5 kpc), significantly more extended than the HI disk. In sharp contrast, the distribution of the young, blue stars, closely follows the distribution of the HI disk and displays a highly structured morphology. We find evidence for an older stellar population in the companion galaxy -- the current star formation activity, although likely to have been triggered by the interaction with NGC 6822, is not the first star formation episode in this object. We show that the properties of the giant kpc-sized hole in the outer HI disk of NGC 6822 are consistent with it being formed by the effects of stellar evolution.

description: We introduce and make publicly available an entity linking dataset from Reddit that contains 17,316 linked entities, each annotated by three human annotators and then grouped into Gold, Silver, and Bronze to indicate inter-annotator agreement. We analyze the different errors and disagreements made by annotators and suggest three types of corrections to the raw data. Finally, we tested existing entity linking models that are trained and tuned on text from non-social media datasets. We find that, although these existing entity linking models perform very well on their original datasets, they perform poorly on this social media dataset. We also show that the majority of these errors can be attributed to poor performance on the mention detection subtask. These results indicate the need for better entity linking models that can be applied to the enormous amount of social media text.

Customary Land Rights and Gender Justice in Eastern Nigeria and Ghana
Creators: name: Madumere, Nelson
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2018

description: Common approaches to the challenges of tenure discrimination and inequitable land administration system in Nigerian centres on the adoption of statutory legal propositions and judicial proscriptions for the achievement of the desired goals. This entails the adoption and elevation of conventional land administration principles as the ultimate standard for evaluating all other tenurial and land administration systems in Nigeria. The continued existence of these challenges and emergence of fresh constraints clearly underscore the ineffectiveness of the policy choices and preferred administrative responses to the achievement of desired goals, and the continued reliance on these approaches alone risk marginalising further the voices of local communities, especially women. In the case of the Igbos of the Eastern Nigeria, this results in failure to address the systemic challenges of tenure insecurity, rural poverty, unsustainable development and continued existence of various outlawed discriminatory customary practices that disinherit and subjugate women. Even the recent Supreme Court’s intervention makes negligible impacts as most of these proscribed practices continue to enjoy social legitimacy and remain operational secretly. Drawing from the outcomes of the recent Ghanaian reform experiences, this thesis looks at the prospects for reformation and statutory recognition of customary tenure system in Eastern Nigeria using the principles of “Responsible Land Management”, “Fit-for-purpose (FFP)”, “Continuum of land-rights” and “Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM)” land tools. These innovative tools are either implemented together or in parallel. The paper hopes to make its major contribution to knowledge by developing a novel decentralised and hybrid land administration model reflective of social dynamics, cleavages and peculiarities of the Nigerian state. This will provide for the adoption of more realistic, zone-specific, flexible, affordable and scalable land administration system capable of providing secure and equitable land rights for all Nigerians.

description: In this article we present a method to compute the scattering states of holes in spherical bands in the strong spin-orbit coupling regime. More precisely, we calculate scattering phase shifts and amplitudes of holes induced by defects in a semiconductor crystal. We follow a previous work done on this topic by Ralph [H. I. Ralph, Philips Res. Rept. 32 160 (1977)] to account for the p-wave nature and the coupling of valence band states. We extend Ralph's analysis to incorporate finite-range potentials in the scattering problem. We find that the variable phase method provides a very convenient framework for our purposes and show in detail how scattering amplitudes and phase shifts are obtained. The Green's matrix of the Schroedinger equation, the Lippmann-Schwinger equation and the Born approximation are also discussed. Examples are provided to illustrate our calculations with Yukawa type potentials.

description: In this work we examine noncommutativity of position coordinates in classical symplectic mechanics and its quantisation. In coordinates $\{q^i,p_k\}$ the canonical symplectic two-form is $ω_0=dq^i\wedge dp_i$. It is well known in symplectic mechanics {\bf\cite{Souriau,Abraham,Guillemin}} that the interaction of a charged particle with a magnetic field can be described in a Hamiltonian formalism without a choice of a potential. This is done by means of a modified symplectic two-form $ω=ω_0-e\F$, where $e$ is the charge and the (time-independent) magnetic field $\F$ is closed: $\dif\F=0$. With this symplectic structure, the canonical momentum variables acquire non-vanishing Poisson brackets: $\{p_k,p_l\} = e F_{kl}(q)$. Similarly a closed two-form in $p$-space $\G$ may be introduced. Such a {\it dual magnetic field} $\G$ interacts with the particle's {\it dual charge} $r$. A new modified symplectic two-form $ω=ω_0-e\F+r\G$ is then defined. Now, both $p$- and $q$-variables will cease to Poisson commute and upon quantisation they become noncommuting operators. In the particular case of a linear phase space ${\bf R}^{2N}$, it makes sense to consider constant $\F$ and $\G$ fields. It is then possible to define, by a linear transformation, global Darboux coordinates: $\{ξ^i,π_k\}= {δ^i}_k$. These can then be quantised in the usual way $[\hatξ^i,\hatπ_k]=i\hbar {δ^i}_k$. The case of a quadratic potential is examined with some detail when $N$ equals 2 and 3.

Semi-device independent randomness certification using Mermin's proof of Kochen-Specker contextuality

description: Randomness is a potential resource for cryptography, simulations and algorithms. Non-local correlations violating Bell's inequality certify the generation of bit strings whose randomness is guaranteed in a device-independent manner. We provide interesting semi-device independent randomness certification protocols by Kochen-Specker (KS) contextuality. For this, we first cast the Mermin's magic-square proof of KS contextuality for two-qubit system as a semi-device independent communication game in prepare-measure scenario. This provides a semi-device independent certification of two-bit of randomness. Further, by using Mermin's magic-star proof of KS theorem involving three-qubit system, we certify three-bit of randomness. We conjecture that our proposals can be extended to certify any arbitrary bit of randomness through a suitable KS proof of contextuality valid for higher dimensional system.
Intersections : theatres, speculative offices + a skytrain station on the edge of Thornton park
Creators: name: Uhrich, William Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A city's intersections are places or voids where the trajectories, paths and commuter routes of a cities citizens collide. They are points of momentary stasis. At intersections the agents of speed and haste characteristic of the flow of the city are brought to a collective pause. The challenge of this thesis was to bring about an architectural representation of this negotiation between flow and pause. There was a desire to see the commuterscape of Vancouver as a way of allowing different publics and contrasting programmes the opportunity for chance encounters and collisions. This desire led to the design of a building which served as an intersection, sometimes carefully controlled while at others free and open to the random flows of urbanism. The site at the corner of Main and Terminal streets in Vancouver was chosen because it is a place where the di verse social, economic and historical fabrics of the city are intersecting. This site is the busiest at grade intersection in Vancouver where skytrain and bus passengers, car drivers and pedestrians are variously pushed together and pulled apart. Commuter space and commuter movement through that space are generally assumed to be unproductive, uninfected movement through vacuous and empty space. This thesis challenges that view by inserting a building into this commuter space to utilize the potentials for exchange, negotiation and encounter offered by such a space. The building is made up of two very different programs - one containing a series of small performing arts theatres, the other commercial and rentable office space. In between the two, the inbound and outbound skytrain tracks and a public walkway create varying perceptual experiences which mediate between the two different typologies. The public zones of the building are used to link the varied programs together and to create connections to the surrounding park and buildings.

description: We calculate the mass difference between the $Υ$ and $η_b$ and the $Υ$ leptonic width from lattice QCD using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism for the $b$ quark and including $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks in the sea. We have results for lattices with lattice spacing as low as 0.03 fm and multiple heavy quark masses, enabling us to map out the heavy quark mass dependence and determine values at the $b$ quark mass. Our results are: $M_Υ -M_{η_b} = 57.5(2.3)(1.0) \,\mathrm{MeV}$ (where the second uncertainty comes from neglect of quark-line disconnected correlation functions) and decay constants, $f_{η_b}=724(12)$ MeV and $f_Υ =677.2(9.7)$ MeV, giving $Γ(Υ\rightarrow e^+e^-) = 1.292(37)(3) \,\mathrm{keV}$. The hyperfine splitting and leptonic width are both in good agreement with experiment, and provide the most accurate lattice QCD results to date for these quantities by some margin. At the same time results for the time moments of the vector-vector correlation function can be compared to values for the $b$ quark contribution to $σ(e^+e^- \rightarrow \mathrm{hadrons})$ determined from experiment. Moments 4--10 provide a 2\% test of QCD and yield a $b$ quark contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon of 0.300(15)$\times 10^{-10}$. Our results, covering a range of heavy quark masses, may also be useful to constrain QCD-like composite theories for beyond the Standard Model physics.

description: In this paper, the dynamical heteroclinic orbit and attractor have been employed to make the late-time behaviors of the model insensitive to the initial condition and thus alleviates the fine tuning problem in cosmological dynamical system of barotropic fluid and quintessence with a double exponential potential. The late-time asymptotic behavior of the double exponential model does not always correspond to the single case. The heteroclinic orbits are the non-stationary solutions and in general they will interpolate between the critical points. Although they can not be shown analytically, yet a numerical calculation can reveal most of their properties. Varied heteroclinic orbits and attractors including tracking attractor and de Sitter attractor have been found.

description: In this talk I wish to address the question of 'what can globular clusters tell us about the galaxy in which they reside'. To answer this question I focus on two components of the stellar halo - the light and the dark. I show how the age, metallicity and alpha abundances can reveal the properties of recently accreted galaxies. I also show how using GCs as tracers in Jeans Axisymmetric Modelling can be used to constrain the scale density, scale radius, inner and outer slope of the dark matter halo.

description: Until the recent advent of $Gaia$ Data Release 2 (DR2) and deep multi-object spectroscopy, it has been difficult to obtain 6-D phase space information for large numbers of stars beyond 4 kpc, in particular towards the Galactic centre, where dust and crowding effects are significant. In this study we combine line-of-sight velocities from the Abundances and Radial velocity Galactic Origins Survey (ARGOS) spectroscopic survey with proper motions from $Gaia$ DR2, to obtain a sample of $\sim$ 7,000 red clump stars with 3-D velocities. We perform a large scale stellar kinematics study of the Milky Way (MW) bulge to characterize the bulge velocity ellipsoids. We measure the tilt $l_{v}$ of the major-axis of the velocity ellipsoid in the radial-longitudinal velocity plane in 20 fields across the bulge. The tilt or vertex deviation, is characteristic of non-axisymmetric systems and a significant tilt is a robust indicator of non-axisymmetry or bar presence. We compare the observations to the predicted kinematics of an N-body boxy-bulge model formed from dynamical instabilities. In the model, the $l_{v}$ values are strongly correlated with the angle ($α$) between the bulge major-axis and the Sun-Galactic centre line-of-sight. We use a maximum likelihood method to obtain an independent measurement of $α$, from bulge stellar kinematics alone. The most likely value of $α$ given our model is $α= (29 \pm 3)^{\circ}$. In the Baade's window, the metal-rich stars display a larger vertex deviation ($l_{v} = -40^{\circ}$) than the metal-poor stars ($l_{v} = 10^{\circ}$) but we do not detect significant $l_{v}-$metallicity trends in the other fields.

description: The ground state susceptibility of a system consisting of three flux-qubits was measured in the complete three dimensional flux space around the common degeneracy point of the qubits. The system's Hamiltonian could be completely reconstructed from measurements made far away from the common degeneracy point. The subsequent measurements made around this point show complete agreement with the theoretical predictions which follow from this Hamiltonian. The ground state anti-crossings of the system could be read-out directly from these measurements. This allows one to determine the ground-state flux diagram, which provides the solution for the non-polynomial optimization problem MAXCUT encoded in the Hamiltonian of the three-flux-qubit system. Our results show that adiabatic quantum computation can be demonstrated with this system provided that the energy gap and/or the speed of the read-out is increased.

description: Although van der Waals layered transition metal dichalcogenides from transient absorption spectroscopy have successfully demonstrated an ideal carrier multiplication (CM) performance with an onset of nearly 2Eg,interpretation of the CM effect from the optical approach remains unresolved owing to the complexity of many-body electron-hole pairs. We demonstrate the CM effect through simple photocurrent measurements by fabricating the dual-gate P-N junction of a MoTe2 film on a transparent substrate. Electrons and holes were efficiently extracted by eliminating the Schottky barriers in the metal contact and minimizing multiple reflections. The photocurrent was elevated proportionately to the excitation energy. The boosted quantum efficiency confirms the multiple electron-hole pair generation of >2Eg, consistent with CM results from an optical approach, pushing the solar cell efficiency beyond the Shockley-Queisser limit.

description: The present paper describes the maxillary dentition of Potamochoerus theobaldi. A well preserved right maxillary fragment with P4-M2 was collected from the Tatrot Formation of the Upper Siwaliks exposed northeast of Khetpurali Village near Raipur Rani (Haryana), Northwest India. The specimen was found associated with several other mammalian taxa, which include Stegodon insignis, Hexaprotodon sivalensis, Camelus sivalensis, Gazella sp., and yet to be identified Bovini. The mammalian faunal assemblage suggests an Early Pliocene age for the Tatrot deposits of Upper Siwaliks in the area. P. theobaldi was probably adapted to a bush land and forest fringe type of habitat. The present discovery is significant in the sense that it represents the first report of the maxillary dentition of Potamochoerus theobaldi from the Indian Siwaliks.

Dust in the disk winds from young stars as a source of the circumstellar extinction

description: We examine a problem of the dust grains survival in the disk wind in T Tauri stars (TTSs). For consideration we choose the disk wind model described by Garcia et al. (2001), where a gas component of the wind is heated by an ambipolar diffusion up to the temperature of the order of 10$^4$ K. It is shown that the dust grains heating due to collisions with the gas atoms and electrons is inefficient in comparison with heating by the stellar radiation, and thus, dust survives even in the hot wind component. Owing to this, the disk wind may be opaque for the ultraviolet and optical radiation of the star and is capable to absorb its noticeable fraction. Calculations show that at the accretion rate $\dot{M_a} = 10^{-8}-10^{-6} M_\odot$ per year this fraction for TTSs may range from 20% to 40% of a total luminosity of the star correspondingly. This means that the disk wind in TTSs can play the same role as the puffed inner rim considered in the modern models of accretion disks. In Herbig Ae stars (HAEs) inner regions of the disk winds ($r \le 0.5$ AU) are free of dust since there dust grains sublimate under the effect of the radiation of the star. Therefore, in this case a fraction of the absorbed radiation by the disk wind is significantly less, and may be compared with the effect of the "puffed-up inner rim" only at $\dot{M_a} \geq 10^{-6} M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$. Due to the structural inhomogeneity of the disk wind its optical depth towards an observer may be variable resulting in the photometric activity of the young stars. For the same reason, one can observe moving shadows from the gas and dust streams with the spiral-like structure on the highly resolved circumstellar disk images.

Transformation of the artifact : adaptive reuse of the LaSalle Coke Tower in Montreal, Quebec
Creators: name: Weryk, Michael E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The LaSalle Coke Tower is an existing structure located on a fifty-five foot strip of land bordering the south edge of the Lachine Canal and the north side of St. Patrick's St. (Montreal, Quebec). The railway passes through the structure at its base. Built at the turn of the century, the crane was used to hoist coal from barges to an elevated conveyor that carried it across the street to Cote-St.-Paul Gas Works. It is approximately 15 storeys high (167'). The Lachine Canal serviced the cause of industry from its completion in 1824 to the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959 at which time industry slowly began to abandon the Lachine Canal area. The basic premise of the design project revolved around both preservation and development of Tour LaSalle Coke (LaSalle Coke Tower). Regarding preservation, it was the state of abandonment that was to be preserved, allowing for a sense of mobility, vagrant roving, free time, and liberty. Architectural production within the abandoned site must respond to the rhythms and flows of the passing of time and the loss of limits. The two principal components include a provision for discovery (architecture as a heuristic device) and an archive component housing historical documents relevant to the tower and it's surrounding context (the Lachine Canal). The essence of the project was to develop this type of site without destroying its character and without detracting from its historical significance. Careful consideration was essential to negotiate between development and preservation. A broader interpretation of heritage preservation was necessary: moving beyond the isolated monument to include territory which characterizes a particular place. In this instance tire place consisted of the extreme linear space of the canal and its adjacent properties in addition to the remnant architectural artifact of the tower. The state of abandonment is a part of the history of the site. The provision for discovery is made through the use of stairs and an elevator, allowing visitors uninhibited access to the tower. This provision allows for multiple levels of interaction with the artifact, from the short visit to a more comprehensive survey of the object. The archive component is a smallscale intervention thereby minimizing the impact of specialized components (or private spaces) which limit the sense of mobility, vagrant roving, free time and liberty. For the same reason, the food service and primary toilet facility is located 'off site' approximately 320 feet to the east. The goal was to retain the basic features of the artifact while providing for a means of discovery and documentation of a National Historic Landmark.

description: This study describes the chiton fauna (Mollusca, Polyplacophora) from deposits of the Pliocene marine sequence of Western Liguria in northwestern Italy between Genova (Genoa) and Ventimiglia. The studied fossils consist of 9,657 valves from nine sites (Bussana, Rio Sant'Antonino, Garlenda, Salea, Caranchi, Rio Torsero, Zinola, Sestri Ponente, and Borzoli; see Fig. 1) taken from the lower clayey formation named Argille di Ortovero (Ortovero Clay). From these we identified 31 species, 22 of which were already known, 5 are identified only at generic level, and four are described as new: Leptochiton josei sp. n., Ischnochiton ligusticus sp. n., Connexochiton roccai sp. n., and Lepidochitona pliocinerea sp. n. Only three species (Lepidopleurus cajetanus, Chiton corallinus and Acanthochitona fascicularis) occur in all the studied sites but, even so, it is difficult to evaluate their relative prevalence. Ch. corallinus and Lepidop. cajetanus are most common, representing 46%  and 31% respectively of the total valves found. Some species found are particularly noteworthy; Lept. alveolus previously not known as a fossil, except a dubiously identified record from the Eocene/Oligocene of Washington; Lept. bedullii and I. martinelli are known only from few Pliocene localities. Four species are described as new, and this increases the number of Mediterranean Pliocene determined species known to 37. Connexochiton roccai sp. n. represent the first report of Connexochiton as a fossil. Seventeen (55%) of the species found are still living in the Mediterranean Sea and 13 of these also occur in the eastern Atlantic. Only one species, Lept. alveolus, occurs as a living species in the Atlantic but is absent from the Mediterranean Sea. Five determined species are known only from Mediterranean Pliocene, and 12 are recorded for the first time from the Ligurian Pliocene. The analysis of the Ligurian samples suggests a shallow water depositional environment, possibly from lower infralittoral to circalittoral depth, and suggests a mixture of faunal elements from different depths and environments.

description: We discuss the mechanism and the conditions for the appearance of synchronized charge oscillations which have been observed experimentally and theoretically after strong photoexcitation of dimerized systems. In the Hubbard model with on-site repulsion, the Bloch equations for a wave-number-dependent pseudospin -- whose components describe the charge-density difference, current density, and bond density between the two sublattices -- involve an alternatingly tilted pseudomagnetic field, which assists the synchronization of pseudospins with different wave numbers, irrespective of the initial condition. This fact is numerically confirmed by the dynamics in finite lattices based on the exact diagonalization method. In the presence of nearest-neighbor repulsion, however, the synchronization can be hindered by excitons. Therefore, the excitation of a sufficiently large density of free electron-hole pairs, but low density of excitons, is needed to achieve synchronization.

CATASTROPHIC DEATH ASSEMBLAGES FROM THE LATE PLEISTOCENE OF ITALY: THE CASE OF AVETRANA KARST FILLING (TARANTO, SOUTHERN ITALY)

description: New and detailed taphonomic and stratigraphical analyses have been carried out at the early Late Pleistocene site of “La Grave”, nearby Avetrana (Taranto, Southern Italy). These, together with population analyses of the principal species represented (Bos primigenius, Dama dama, Cervus elaphus, Sus scrofa and Stephanorhinus hemitoechus), suggest that the fossiliferous deposits were probably accumulated rapidly, over a short time span, by exceptional events of heavy rainfall with overbank flooding. These results are supported particularly by comparison of the mammalian death assemblages from Avetrana with data from recent and Pleistocene catastrophic death assemblages documented in the literature. Furthermore, population analysis of species pinpoints the time of death between late autumn and winter. Periods with abundant and heavy rainfall are recorded in Late Pleistocene Mediterranean marine cores by the presence of sapropel levels, and in continental pollen diagrams covering the same time. Finally, observations on the morphometric variations in the bones of Bos primigenius reveal an increase in size of the species during the early Late Pleistocene and a decrease in size during the late Late Pleistocene and the Holocene.

L$\ddot{u}$der rule, von Neumann rule and Cirelson's bound of Bell CHSH inequality

description: In [PRL, 113, 050401 (2014)] the authors have shown that instead of L$\ddot{u}$der rule, if degeneracy breaking von Neumann projection rule is adopted for state reduction, the quantum value of three-time Leggett-Garg inequality can exceed it's L$\ddot{u}$ders bound. Such violation of L$\ddot{u}$ders bound may even approach algebraic maximum of the inequality in the asymptotic limit of system size. They also claim that for Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality such violation of L$\ddot{u}$ders bound (known as Cirelson's bound) cannot be obtained even when the measurement is performed sequentially first by Alice followed by Bob. In this paper, we have shown that if von Neumann projection rule is used, quantum bound of CHSH inequality exceeds it's Cirelson's bound and may also reach its algebraic maximum four. This thus provide a strong objection regarding the viability of von Neumann rule as a valid state reduction rule. Further, we pointed out that the violation of Cirelson's bound occurs due to the injection of additional quantum non-locality by the act of implementing von Neumann measurement rule.

description: By combining the first year data from the Supernova Legacy Survey (SN LS) and the recent detection of the baryon acoustic peak in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data, we are able to place strong constraints on models where the cosmic acceleration is due to the leakage of gravity from the brane into the bulk on large scales. In particular, we are able to show that the DGP model is not compatible with a spatially flat universe. We generalize our analysis to phenomenological toy models where the curvature of the brane enters into the Friedmann equations in different ways.

description: We described the proximal epiphysis of a rhinoceros third metacarpus collected from the level XI of Grotta Romanelli. This level is chronologically referred to a time span between approximately 80 and 69 ka. Morphological and morphometric characters of the third metacarpus suggest that it belongs to Coelodonta antiquitatis. This is the earliest record of woolly rhino in Italy.

Continuous-variable error correction for general Gaussian noises

description: Quantum error correction is essential for robust quantum information processing with noisy devices. As bosonic quantum systems play a crucial role in quantum sensing, communication, and computation, it is important to design error correction codes suitable for these systems against various different types of noises. While most efforts aim at protecting qubits encoded into the infinite dimensional Hilbert space of a bosonic mode, [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 080503 (2020)] proposed an error correction code to maintain the infinite-dimensional-Hilbert-space nature of bosonic systems by encoding a single bosonic mode into multiple bosonic modes. Enabled by Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill states as ancilla, the code overcomes the no-go theorem of Gaussian error correction. In this work, we generalize the error correction code to the scenario with general correlated and heterogeneous Gaussian noises, including memory effects. We introduce Gaussian pre-processing and post-processing to convert the general noise model to an independent but heterogeneous collection of additive white Gaussian noise channels and then apply concatenated codes in an optimized manner. To evaluate the performance, we develop a theory framework to enable the efficient calculation of the noise standard deviation after the error correction, despite the non-Gaussian nature of the codes. Our code provides the optimal scaling of the residue noise standard deviation with the number of modes and can be widely applied to distributed sensor-networks, network communication and composite quantum memory systems.

description: Density functional methods were developed, in which the Coulomb electron-electron interaction is split into a long- and a short-range part. In such methods, one term is calculated using traditional density functional approximations, like the local density approximation. The present paper tries to shed some light upon the best way to do it by comparing the accuracy of the local density approximation with accurate results for the He atom.

description: The Middle - Late Devonian boundary is investigated based on twenty-two conodont species and subspecies from three sections in the north and west of Kerman, southeastern central Iran. Upper Givetian - lower Frasnian carbonates of the basal part of the Bahram Formation transgressively overlie the sandstone beds of the top of (?) Early - Middle Devonian Padeha Formation. These massive skeletal limestones encompass the G-F boundary. The base of Frasnian is identified by the appearance of early forms of Ancyrodella rotundiloba . It helps to compare our biozones to those of global stratotype in southern France. A new species, Polygnathus hojedki n. sp. is described here. New range is suggested for P. praepolitus .

Two definitions of maximally $ψ$-epistemic ontological model and preparation non-contextuality

description: An ontological model is termed as maximally $ψ$-epistemic if the overlap between any two quantum states is fully accounted for by the overlap of their respective probability distributions of ontic states. However, in literature, there exists the two different mathematical definitions (termed here as 1M$ψ$E and 2M$ψ$E) that capture the equivalent notion of maximal $ψ$-epistemicity. In this work, we provide three theorems to critically examine the connections between preparation non-contextuality and the aforementioned two definitions of maximal $ψ$- epistemicity. In Theorem-1, we provide a simple and direct argument of an existing proof to demonstrate that the mixed state preparation non-contextuality implies the first definition of maximal $ψ$-epistemicity. In Theorem-2, we prove that the second definition of maximal $ψ$-epistemicity implies pure-state preparation non-contextuality. If both the definitions capture the equivalent notion of maximal $ψ$-epistemicity then from the aforementioned two theorems one infers that the mixed-state preparation non-contextuality implies pure-state preparation non-contextuality. But, in Theorem-3, we demonstrate that the mixed-state preparation non-contextuality in an ontological model implies pure-state contextuality and vice-versa. This leads one to conclude that 1M$ψ$E and 2M$ψ$E capture inequivalent notion of maximal $ψ$-epistemicity. The implications of our results and their connections to other no-go theorems are discussed.
Anthropic reasoning in multiverse cosmology and string theory

description: Anthropic arguments in multiverse cosmology and string theory rely on the weak anthropic principle (WAP). We show that the principle, though ultimately a tautology, is nevertheless ambiguous. It can be reformulated in one of two unambiguous ways, which we refer to as WAP_1 and WAP_2. We show that WAP_2, the version most commonly used in anthropic reasoning, makes no physical predictions unless supplemented by a further assumption of "typicality", and we argue that this assumption is both misguided and unjustified. WAP_1, however, requires no such supplementation; it directly implies that any theory that assigns a non-zero probability to our universe predicts that we will observe our universe with probability one. We argue, therefore, that WAP_1 is preferable, and note that it has the benefit of avoiding the inductive overreach characteristic of much anthropic reasoning.
