Livonia Chow Mein

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Livonia Chow Mein tells the story of a Chinese American restaurant-owning family in Brownsville, Brooklyn over the course of four generations and as the neighborhood faces urban renewal, white flight, ghettoization and gentrification. Restaurant owner Chin Koon Lai ambitions to raise his village out of poverty, but he finds his aims frustrated by China's political upheaval and Brownsville's transformation. His son Richard longs for acceptance from his Jewish peers and for his own chance at the American Dream, but his struggles cause him to scapegoat his Black and Puerto Rican neighbors—and to make a terrible mistake with ramifications for all of Brownsville. Richard’s son Jason, in an effort to flout society's expectations, throws himself into the bohemian counterculture of the 1970s, but he eventually finds himself an unwilling participant in Brooklyn's gentrification. Jason’s half-white daughter Sadie returns to Brownsville as a journalist and desires to be perceived as a “person of color” but must confront the ways both she and her ancestors have perpetuated anti-Blackness. Meanwhile, activist and artist Letitia Rodriguez Armstrong, a tenant of Richard Chin's, wages a lifelong fight for community control that first challenges and then remakes the Chins. Livonia Chow Mein is thus also the story of Letitia's struggle to become a better activist and to remain resilient in the face of structural racism and systemic violence. The book depicts urban policy in Brooklyn over the course of the 20th century and explores the relationships between Jewish, Black, and Chinese communities in the borough.

description: The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that the sharp changes in the sectors of the economy generated by the coronavirus pandemic have changed all existing development forecasts. At the same time, a number of new risks have emerged. In this regard, the development of a forecast for the development of economic sectors, taking into account risks and opportunities, seems to be the most important task for the Russian economy.
 The purpose of the study is to develop a forecast for key parameters of the socio-economic development of Russia, assess the risks of the forecast and develop tools for responding to risk situations, develop a forecast for the development of the financial sector in the Russian Federation in the medium term The subject of the study is the dynamics of the economic development of the Russian Federation in the medium term.
 The method or methodology of the study is based on the study of key current and retrospective data on the state of the sectors of the economy of the Russian Federation, highlighting the most important risks and building a medium-term forecast. Main research methods: economic observation, economic modeling, construction of economic hypotheses, historical analysis of economic phenomena, formalization and mathematization method, logical interpretation method, axiomatization method, analogy method
 As a result of the work carried out, the key components of the public sector, financial and credit markets were analyzed, and an assessment was made of the impact of the worsening external environment. Thus, the paper presents estimates of the prerequisites for the forecast and develops three possible scenarios for the development of sectors of the Russian economy.
 The scientific novelty of the study lies in the development of unique forecasts for the development of sectors of the Russian economy.
 The recommendations received as a result of the study indicate the need to develop mechanisms for responding to certain risks, taking into account the possible consequences of such an impact, presented in the forecast.
 The project was carried out as part of research work by the Laboratory for Structural Research of the IPEI RANEPA under the President of Russian Federation in 2021.

description: The role of fluctuations is enhanced in lower dimensionality systems: in a two dimensions off-diagonal long-range order is destroyed by the fluctuations at any finite temperature, drastically modifying the critical properties with respect to the three-dimensional counterpart. Recently two-dimensional systems of interacting fermions have been the subject of Montecarlo studies and experimental investigations, in particular an ultracold gas of attractive fermions with a widely tunable interaction due to a Feshbach resonance has been realized and the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition has been observed. The present work deals with the theoretical description of an ultracold Fermi gas: we discuss the role of Gaussian fluctuations of the order parameter in the equation of state, in particular we take into account the first sound velocity, showing that the inclusion of order parameter fluctuations is needed in order to get the correct composite-boson limit in the strong-coupling regime. The theory is also compared with experimental data. Finally we focus on the superfluid density in the weak-coupling, intermediate and strong-coupling regimes at finite temperature, through which the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless critical temperature is obtained.

description: This thesis describes the word order of El Llibre dels Fets del Rey en Jacme, a 13th century Catalan chronicle widely known as El Llibre dels Fets. By exploring the position of the verb, the subject and the information structure of the Old Catalan of this text, it is concluded that Old Catalan was an SVO language that shared several features with its modern counterpart, such as the invariable location of informational focus to the right of the verb. For this purpose, a database of 2,000 syntactically parsed main and embedded clauses was produced, the Llibre dels Fets del Rey en Jacme (LFRJ) database. Verb position is studied in terms of linear verb positions and their frequencies, in regard to predicate types, in relation to adverb position, clitic placement, and in relation to polarity in both main and embedded clauses, showing that in both main and embedded clauses, the verb is located in the inflectional layer unless a specific trigger is identified as a trigger of V-to-C movement, as is the case with the expression of emphatic polarity. Furthermore, Old Catalan is shown to have an active projection in the inflectional domain where subjects and other discourse-anchoring elements, such as locatives, can occur, like its modern counterpart. Therefore, unlike it has been claimed for other Old Romance languages, Old Catalan had a specialised verbal prefield. Subjects can also be left and right-dislocated, as well as focalised. In terms of Information Structure, it is shown that Old Catalan’s Informational Focus is located postverbally, and not preverbally as in other Old Romance languages. Finally, a comparison between Modern Catalan and Old Catalan data shows that Modern Catalan oral texts share word order features with the data from El Llibre dels Fets, highlighting the importance of orality as a factor determining word order.

description: We show the existence of solitonic solutions of five-dimensional supergravity, which can be interpreted as global cosmic strings in our universe. They possess the same mathematical structure as the stringy cosmic strings studied by Greene, Shapere, Vafa and Yau, while the size of the extra space and the value of the extra-space component of the gauge field vary from place to place around the string in our model. We also show that supersymmetry is partially broken in the presence of the global strings.

Analysis of UV and EUV emission from impacts on the Sun after 2011 June 7 eruptive flare

description: On 2011 June 7 debris from a large filament eruption fell back to the Sun causing bright ultraviolet (UV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) splashes across the surface. These impacts may give clues on the process of stellar accretion. The aim is to investigate how the impact emission is influenced by structures in the falling ejecta and at the solar surface. We determine the UV and EUV light curves of a sample of impacts. The ballistic impact velocity is estimated from the ejection and landing times and, where possible, compared with the velocity derived by tracking the downflows in SDO/AIA and STEREO/EUVI images. Estimates of the column density before impact are made from the darkness of the falling plasma in the 193 A channel. The impact velocities were between 230 and 450 km/s. All impacts produced bright EUV emission at the impact site but bright UV was only observed when the impacting fragments reached the chromosphere. There was no clear relation between EUV intensity and kinetic energy. Low UV to EUV intensity ratios (I{UV}/I{EUV}) were seen (i) from impacts of low column-density fragments, (ii) when splashes, produced by some impacts, prevented subsequent fragments from reaching the chromosphere, and (iii) from an impact in an active region. The earliest impacts with the lowest velocity (~250 km/s) had the highest I{UV}/I{EUV}. The I{UV}/I{EUV} decreases with impact velocity, magnetic field at the impact site, and EUV ionising flux. Many of the infalling fragments dissipate above the chromosphere either due to ionisation and trapping in magnetic structures, or to them encountering a splash from an earlier impact. If the same happens in accreting stars then the reduced X-ray compared to optical emission that has been observed is more likely due to absorption by the trailing stream than locally at the impact site.

description: The electrical response of two-dimensional electron gas to vibrations of a nanomechanical cantilever containing it is studied. Vibrations of perpendicularly oriented cantilevers are experimentally shown to change oppositely the conductivity near their bases. This indicates the piezoelectric nature of electromechanical coupling. A physical model is developed, which quantitatively explains the experiment. It shows that the main origin of the conductivity change is a rapid change in the mechanical stress on the boundary between suspended and non-suspended areas, rather than the stress itself.

description: Wheat is a global staple crop and the health of soils under wheat crops is critical for food security, biodiversity and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers at the John Innes Centre and partnering institutes are identifying root traits for breeding future wheat varieties that modulate soil microbial metabolism on carbon and nitrogen transformation to improve carbon storage and nitrogen use efficiency, thereby improving yields under low nitrogen inputs, reducing N2O emissions and nitrate runoff, and enhancing overall soil health. This briefing paper, based on an expert stakeholder consultation convened by NISD in March 2023, considers strategies for aligning stakeholder interests in adopting this novel technology for economic and environmental benefits and outlines policy measures to support this process.

description: Automatically recognizing and localizing wide ranges of human actions has crucial importance for video understanding. Towards this goal, the THUMOS challenge was introduced in 2013 to serve as a benchmark for action recognition. Until then, video action recognition, including THUMOS challenge, had focused primarily on the classification of pre-segmented (i.e., trimmed) videos, which is an artificial task. In THUMOS 2014, we elevated action recognition to a more practical level by introducing temporally untrimmed videos. These also include `background videos' which share similar scenes and backgrounds as action videos, but are devoid of the specific actions. The three editions of the challenge organized in 2013--2015 have made THUMOS a common benchmark for action classification and detection and the annual challenge is widely attended by teams from around the world. In this paper we describe the THUMOS benchmark in detail and give an overview of data collection and annotation procedures. We present the evaluation protocols used to quantify results in the two THUMOS tasks of action classification and temporal detection. We also present results of submissions to the THUMOS 2015 challenge and review the participating approaches. Additionally, we include a comprehensive empirical study evaluating the differences in action recognition between trimmed and untrimmed videos, and how well methods trained on trimmed videos generalize to untrimmed videos. We conclude by proposing several directions and improvements for future THUMOS challenges.

description: We study the optimal control problem of allocating campaigning resources over the campaign duration and degree classes in a social network. Information diffusion is modeled as a Susceptible-Infected epidemic and direct recruitment of susceptible nodes to the infected (informed) class is used as a strategy to accelerate the spread of information. We formulate an optimal control problem for optimizing a net reward function, a linear combination of the reward due to information spread and cost due to application of controls. The time varying resource allocation and seeds for the epidemic are jointly optimized. A problem variation includes a fixed budget constraint. We prove the existence of a solution for the optimal control problem, provide conditions for uniqueness of the solution, and prove some structural results for the controls (e.g. controls are non-increasing functions of time). The solution technique uses Pontryagin's Maximum Principle and the forward-backward sweep algorithm (and its modifications) for numerical computations. Our formulations lead to large optimality systems with up to about 200 differential equations and allow us to study the effect of network topology (Erdos-Renyi/scale-free) on the controls. Results reveal that the allocation of campaigning resources to various degree classes depends not only on the network topology but also on system parameters such as cost/abundance of resources. The optimal strategies lead to significant gains over heuristic strategies for various model parameters. Our modeling approach assumes uncorrelated network, however, we find the approach useful for real networks as well. This work is useful in product advertising, political and crowdfunding campaigns in social networks.

description: A large number of infrastructural concrete buildings are protected against aggressive environments by coating systems. The functionality of these coating systems is mainly affected by the composition and thickness of the individual polymeric layers. For the first ti me ever, a mobile nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensor allows a non-destructive delermination of these irnportanl paramelers on the building sile. However, before lhis technique can be used on steel-reinforced concrete elements, the potential effect of the reinforcement on the measurement, i .e. the NMR signal, needs to be studied. The results show a shift of the NMR profile as weil as an increase of the signals amplitude in the case of the reinforced samples, while calculating the thickness of concrete coating leading to identical results.

description: AR-Glasbewehrungen in Betonen, die zum Beispiel im Verbundwerkstoff Textilbeton zum Einsatz kommen, verlieren infolge Bewitterungen langfristig an Festigkeit. Die Kenntnis der zeitabhängigen Entwicklung des Festigkeitsverlustes ist ein wesentlicher Aspekt bei der Anwendung textilbewehrter Bauteile in statisch relevanten Bereichen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird die Entwicklung eines Dauerhaftigkeitsmodells beschrieben, welches den Verlauf des Festigkeitsverlustes von AR-Glasbewehrungen in Textilbetonen infolge beliebig komplexer Bewitterungen, wie sie z. B. bei Außenbauteilen auftreten, abbildet. Zur Realisierung dieses Ziels wurde zunächst die maßgebende Ursache für den Festigkeitsverlust von AR-Glas im Beton ermittelt. Darauf basierend erfolgte eine modellhafte Beschreibung des Festigkeitsverlustes bei konstanten Klimabedingungen sowie die Verifikation des Modells mit einer Vielzahl an Untersuchungsergebnissen, die auch mit unterschiedlichen Versuchsmethoden bestimmt wurden. Die Einflüsse Feuchte, Temperatur, pH-Wert, Glasart und Dauerlast auf den Festigkeitsverlust der AR-Glasbewehrung wurden untersucht. Zusätzlich wurden auch kombinierte Beanspruchungen analysiert, um abschließend ein Dauerhaftigkeitsmodell herzuleiten, welches die Berücksichtigung beliebig komplexer Bewitterungen erlaubt. Mit dieser Arbeit wurde somit die Grundlage für eine quantitative, auf die jeweiligen Material- und Bewitterungsbedingungen abgestimmte Prognose des Festigkeitsverlustes von ARGlasbewehrung in Textilbeton geschaffen.

description: The surface terminations of 122-type alkaline earth metal iron pnictides AEFe2As2 (AE = Ca, Ba) are investigated with scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS). Cleaving these crystals at a cryogenic temperature yields a large majority of terminations with atomically resolved square-root-two (rt2) or 1*2 lattice, as well as the very rare terminations with 1*1 symmetry. By means of lattice alignment and chemical marking, we identify these terminations as rt2-AE, 1*2-As, and rt2-Fe surfaces, respectively. Layer-resolved spectroscopy on these terminating surfaces reveals a well-defined superconducting gap on the As terminations, while the gap features become weaker and absent on AE and Fe terminations respectively. The local gap features are hardly affected by the surface reconstruction on As or AE surface, whereas a suppression of them along with the in-gap states can be induced by As vacancies. The emergence of two impurity resonance peaks at +-2 meV is consistent with the sign-reversal pairing symmetry. The definite identification of surface terminations and their spectroscopic signatures shall provide a more comprehensive understanding of the high-temperature superconductivity in multilayered iron pnictides.

The most elementary heat to work conversion: work extraction from a completely passive state by a single photon

description: The concepts of work and heat in the quantum domain, as well as their interconversion principles, are still an open debate. We have found theoretical evidence that a single photon packet is capable of extracting work from a single two-level system (TLS). More importantly, this effect is found for a photon as it is spontaneously emitted, therefore carrying only heat away from the emitter. This is the most elementary process in which heat is converted into work, requiring not more than two off-resonance atoms for that purpose. From a more practical point of view it is found that, surprisingly, work can be extracted from a TLS in a completely passive initial state. The process is cyclic in the sense that the TLS initial and final states are equal. The state of the TLS remains passive throughout the interaction time with the single-photon packet. The physical meaning of the work performed by the TLS is found to be a dynamical change in the color of the photon during the reemission process. All our predictions are, in principle, measurable within state-of-the-art experiments.

description: For augmented fluoroscopy during cardiac catheter ablation procedures, a preoperatively acquired 3-D model of the left atrium of the patient can be registered to X-ray images. Therefore the 3D-model is matched with the contrast agent based appearance of the left atrium. Commonly, only small amounts of contrast agent (CA) are used to locate the left atrium. This is why we focus on robust registration methods that work also if the structure of interest is only partially contrasted. In particular, we propose two similarity measures for CA-based registration: The first similarity measure, explicit apparent edges, focuses on edges of the patient anatomy made visible by contrast agent and can be computed quickly on the GPU. The second novel similarity measure computes a contrast agent distribution estimate (CADE) inside the 3-D model and rates its consistency with the CA seen in biplane fluoroscopic images. As the CADE computation involves a reconstruction of CA in 3-D using the CA within the fluoroscopic images, it is slower. Using a combination of both methods, our evaluation on 11 well-contrasted clinical datasets yielded an error of 7.9+/-6.3 mm over all frames. For 10 datasets with little CA, we obtained an error of 8.8+/-6.7 mm. Our new methods outperform a registration based on the projected shadow significantly (p<0.05).

description: The aim of this short paper is to discuss the recently observed excess at 750 GeV by both CMS and ATLAS in the light of the dual standard model. Within this framework it is natural to introduce neutral spin 0 and/or spin 2 $SU(2)$ glue mesons which could easily account for this observation if it is confirmed. The model predicts that these glue mesons would be part of $SU(2)$ triplets and that there must thus be charged counterparts of these glue mesons carrying a QED charge of $\pm 1$ with a spin 0 and/or 2 as well.

description: В ходе исследований установлено, что продуктивность растений картофеля на семенных посадках зависела от массы посадочного клубня, количества клубненосных побегов, которые формировались во время вегетации, что в свою очередь оказало влияние на образование столонов и количество заложенных клубней.
Исследованиями выявлено, что наибольшее количество побегов в фазу бутонизации образовали сорта Калинка и Фламинго по 12 шт./растения и только 7 шт. у сорта Айл оф. Количество побегов положительно повлияло на формирование урожая семенной фракции. Нами не установлена зависимость количества побегов на растении от сроков созревания. Сорта суперэлиты сформировали клубней на одно растение от 8 до 18 шт., клубни крупные за исключением сорта Калинка. Максимальная урожайность составила 524,6 ц/га у сорта Калинка.

description: A large pilot-scale free water surface (FWS) constructed wetland polishing effluent from an annual (spring) discharge municipal lagoon was operated for ten years followed by eleven years of dormancy and then restarted with an increase in operating depth. No significant effect of system aging was observed on Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), total phosphorus (TP), and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) removal efficiencies, although internal TP water column concentrations in the first wetland and pond cells increased with time due to resuspension of accumulated sediments. Nitrate and ammonium removal efficiencies were higher during the start-up period due to plant establishment, while organic nitrogen and nitrate removal efficiencies increased during the restart period, likely due to a combination of the increased operating depth and accumulated sediments. No seasonal temperature effect was observed for nitrate or BOD removal efficiency, however, TP removal efficiencies increased with increasing influent concentrations due to seasonal algae growth. TSS removal efficiency increased significantly during the restart period, most likely due to an increase in the operating depth. Phosphorus was found to be mostly stored in the soil, followed by sediment and plants, while nitrogen was found to be stored more in plants, followed by soil and sediment. The wetland system was shown to be effective at the long-term removal of organic matter (BOD5 < 10 mg/L) and TP (87% average removal efficiency), while TSS removal efficiency increased to 97% with an increase in operating depth from 25 to 50 cm.
What Does Journalism Owe to Peace? : The Metajournalistic Discourse of Media Failure After Colombia’s 2016 Peace Referendum

description: On Oct. 2, 2016, against all predictions, Colombian voters rejected a proposed peace deal with FARC rebels that would have marked the end of a 50-year-old internal conflict. Similar to what happened after the Brexit referendum and Donald Trump's election in the United States that same year, the unexpected results of the Colombian peace referendum resulted in a wave of media criticism. This study examines this body of criticism in the Colombian case through qualitative, critical thematic analysis of published media criticism that emerged in the immediate aftermath of the vote and semi-directed interviews with Colombian journalists who personally covered the referendum. The findings show that a metajournalistic discourse of media failure materialized following the vote, with potential implications for the local journalistic culture. Three dimensions are identified in the journalists' responses to this discourse. They acknowledge that errors and poor journalistic habits were present in the vote's coverage; they push back by identifying external pressures to journalism that caused systemic media failures; and they speak with ambivalence about persisting journalistic practices and norms, showing willingness to revisit some of them in their own practice. A discussion based on the findings links theoretical scholarship on the Brexit and Trump's cases to the Colombian vote by showing that the experience of covering the referendum, and the ensuing criticism that the media sustained, opened the door for journalists to engage in a debate over the merits of objectivity, just like the two other cases did in their respective contexts. A situated analysis that takes into account the local context of Colombia's journalistic culture proposes new angles to this debate. It suggests that internal changes in that culture, such as the demise of an organization that used to champion peace activism in journalism, has resulted in changes to how journalists understand and apply the objectivity norm when covering matters of conflict and peace. This raises the question of whether material conditions in any given journalistic context may influence how journalists understand and apply objectivity, thus contributing new insights to the ongoing debate on the merits of this norm not just in the Colombian context but globally as well.

description: We show that the projected number density profiles of SDSS photometric galaxies around galaxy clusters displays strong evidence for the splashback radius, a sharp halo edge corresponding to the location of the first orbital apocenter of satellite galaxies after their infall. We split the clusters into two subsamples with different mean projected radial distances of their members, $\langle R_{\rm mem}\rangle$, at fixed richness and redshift, and show that the sample with smaller $\langle R_{\rm mem}\rangle$ has a smaller ratio of the splashback radius to the traditional halo boundary $R_{\rm 200m}$, than the subsample with larger $\langle R_{\rm mem}\rangle$, indicative of different mass accretion rates for the two subsamples. The same cluster samples were recently used by Miyatake et al. to show that their large-scale clustering differs despite their similar weak lensing masses, demonstrating strong evidence for halo assembly bias. We expand on this result by presenting a 6.6-$σ$ detection of halo assembly bias using the cluster-photometric galaxy cross-correlations. Our measured splashback radii are smaller, while the strength of the assembly bias signal is stronger, than expectations from N-body simulations based on the $Λ$-dominated, cold dark matter structure formation model. Dynamical friction or cluster-finding systematics such as miscentering or projection effects are not likely to be the sole source of these discrepancies.

description: Benzene, toluene and xylene have strong blood toxicities and carcinogenic effects. Benzene is further metabolized to phenyl mercapturic acid (PMA), toluene and xylene also generate benzyl mercapturic acid (BMA) in human urine. While, cigarette smoke is rich in carcinogens such as benzene and toluene, therefore, if the smokers in the workplace may interfere with the correct assessment of the source of benzene and benzene series. Some metabolites, such as PMA, BMA, N-acetyl-S-(3,4-dihydroxybutyl-L-cysteine (DHBMA), N-acetyl-S-(1-hydroxymethyl-2-propenyl)-L-cysteine (MHBMA-1) and (R,S)-N-acetyl-S-(2-hydroxy-3-butenyl)-L-cysteine (MHBMA-2) were simultaneously determined so as to confirm whether the exposure to benzene series comes from the workplace or from the external environment such as smoking. A new β-cyclodextrin-based chiral stationary phase (EACDP) was prepared. After the separation conditions were optimized, a new LC-MS/MS method on EACDP column for the determination of common chiral and achiral metabolites in urine of human exposed to benzene series was established. The excellent separations of the above metabolites were achieved, in which the high resolutions of PMA, BMA and MHBMA-2 enantiomers were up to 1.62, 2.23 and 1.79, respectively, within 50 min under reversed-phase chromatography. Moreover, sensitive and selective multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was also employed. The detection limits (LODs) of enantiomers were all less than 0.366，0.467, 0.246 and 0.153 μg/L for PMA, BMA, DHBMA, MHBMA, separately. The averaged recoveries of enantiomers were in the range of 78~93% for PMA, 80~116% for BMA, 86~102% for DHBMA and 80~92% for MHBMA. Also, the method had good reproducibilities. By simultaneous measuring the contents of four biomarkers PMA, BMA, DHBMA and MHBMA in human urine metabolites, the non-smoking population could be more accurately estimated, and toluene exposure also has a certain degree of harm to the body, so as to make a more reasonable evaluation of the people exposed to benzene series in the workplace.
