description: NOAA environmental data are produced at public expense and should be broadly accessible to the public. Furthermore data gathered for a specific purpose may be found useful in other contexts, and the ability to easily obtain and combine data from multiple sources may support decision-making, disaster response, or new economic opportunities. Finally, a mandate for public access is expressed in both federal policy and in NOAA Administrative Order (NAO) 212-15, Management of Environmental Data and Information. The purpose of this Directive is to declare that all NOAA environmental data (with limited exceptions, upon approval of a waiver) shall be made	discoverable and accessible via the Internet in a timely fashion.

description: Color gradients in early-type galaxies contain valuable clues about their formation and evolutionary histories and mechanisms. We examine color gradients in 1,700 early-type galaxies in 159 galaxy clusters spanning a redshift range of 0.05 to 0.2. We find that color gradients strongly depend on the environment where galaxies reside, with steeper color gradients in poor rather than rich clusters. No dependence of color gradients on galaxy luminosity is found in either rich or poor clusters. The difference in color gradients can be explained by a change in the internal metallicity and/or an age gradient in these galaxies. Our results support a reasonable picture whereby young early-type galaxies form in a dissipative collapse process, and then undergo increased (either major or minor) merging activity in richer rather than in poor clusters.

description: Economists typically assume that more choice is better, and consumers are more likely to purchase from a larger choice set. However, marketing and psychological studies show this is not always the case. This paper reports results from experiments designed to further investigate the so-called excessive-choice effect. First, we investigate whether people would voluntarily reduce their choice set size. Second, we investigate whether the excessive-choice effect, found in previous studies, is robust to changes in experimental design. Third, we explore how personality influences preferences for choice set size. Results show that the excessive-choice effect indeed exists for some people, but on average people prefer greater choice.

description: The main aim of the paper is to highlight the relation between flexibility and vertical integration. To this purpose, we go through the selection of the optimal degree of vertical disintegration of a flexible firm which operates in a dynamic uncertain environment. The enterprise we model enjoys flexibility since it can switch from a certain amount of disintegration to vertical integration and viceversa. This means that the firm never loses vertical control, i.e., the ability to produce all inputs even when it buys them in the market. This sort of flexibility makes for results which are somehow contrary to the Industrial Organization recent literature and closer to the Operations Research results. In this sense we provide a bridge between the two approaches and rescue Industrial Organization from counterintuitive conclusions.

description: The class-invariant homomorphism allows one to measure the Galois module structure of torsors--under a finite flat group scheme--which lie in the image of a coboundary map associated to an exact sequence. It has been introduced first by Martin Taylor (the exact sequence being given by an isogeny between abelian schemes). We begin by giving general properties of this homomorphism, then we pursue its study in the case when the exact sequence is given by the multiplication by $n$ on an extension of an abelian scheme by a torus.

Year: 2021
Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: We put forward an idea and a prototype for an open-source, low-power, polling system built on traditional blockchain technology to decentralise the election process in developing nations in order to protect democracy and prevent voter fraud. Simple resource-efficient hashing mechanisms are used in order to ensure energy-efficiency but at the same time rely on the safety in scale approach to preventing attacks in the electoral process. Limitations of the voter-registration process and partial decentralisation problems are carefully examined and solutions are proposed for the same.

 Material examined. Polyp—PB6_6, sampling site 2 (3), on rock, Cirripedia, and Bryozoa.
 Description. Colonies small, unbranched, arising from an encrusting base, from 0.6 to 1.2 cm high, with an amorphous hydrorhizal plate with 8–17 hydranths. Hydranths from 0.4 to 1.1 mm high; capitate tentacles 10–13 in number, arranged in two close whorls (0.3–0.4 mm long). Soft and smooth exoskeleton. Gonophore origin on unbranched pedicels off the hydrorhiza, 0.01 to 0.2 mm long; pedicel 0.03 to 0.08 mm long.
Nematocysts (length x diam.). Stenotele (9.3–17.0 x 6.4–10.5 µm) and microbasic euryteles (10.9–12.7 x 4.3– 4.8 µm).
 Remarks. Genera of this family have often been distinguished based on whether gonophores remain fixed or are liberated as free medusa. Their polyp is notable for its large size, reaching up to 6 cm high in a state of expansion (Rees 1957). Mangin (1991) distinguishes Samuraia from Hydrocoryne because the former has gonophores originating on unbranched pedicels on the hydrorhiza and medusoids with gonads surrounding the manubrium; it lacks tentacles, ocelli, mouth, and peduncle; and has irregular, knobby radial canals. In the material examined, we could not observe mature gonophores or medusoids, and the polyps were tiny and probably juveniles. As a result, the morphology of the material examined could be related to either Samuraia or Hydrocoryne, especially if we consider the following characters: number of tentacles of the hydranth (10–13 vs. 11–22 and 30–70 in Samuraia and Hydrocoryne, respectively), tentacles arranged in two close whorls and length of extended tentacles (0.3–0.4 mm vs. 0.4–0.6 and 0.5–3.4 mm in Samuraia and Hydrocoryne, respectively), size of the hydranths (0.4–1.1 mm vs. 30 and 60 mm long in Samuraia and Hydrocoryne, respectively), and size of the colony (8–17 vs. 1–3 and 2–20 hydranths/colony in Samuraia and Hydrocoryne, respectively).
 Distribution. Family reported in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans (Morandini et al. 2009; Du et al. 2013). In Mexican Pacific, it has been registered in Sonora (Pelican Point) (Mangin 1991) and Guerrero (Acapulco) (Bigelow 1909).

description: Cross-domain alignment between two sets of entities (e.g., objects in an image, words in a sentence) is fundamental to both computer vision and natural language processing. Existing methods mainly focus on designing advanced attention mechanisms to simulate soft alignment, with no training signals to explicitly encourage alignment. The learned attention matrices are also dense and lacks interpretability. We propose Graph Optimal Transport (GOT), a principled framework that germinates from recent advances in Optimal Transport (OT). In GOT, cross-domain alignment is formulated as a graph matching problem, by representing entities into a dynamically-constructed graph. Two types of OT distances are considered: (i) Wasserstein distance (WD) for node (entity) matching; and (ii) Gromov-Wasserstein distance (GWD) for edge (structure) matching. Both WD and GWD can be incorporated into existing neural network models, effectively acting as a drop-in regularizer. The inferred transport plan also yields sparse and self-normalized alignment, enhancing the interpretability of the learned model. Experiments show consistent outperformance of GOT over baselines across a wide range of tasks, including image-text retrieval, visual question answering, image captioning, machine translation, and text summarization.

description: The analysis finds that in addition to U-shaped paths of environmental quality arising for growth in income per capita, growth in population can also produce socially efficient patterns that are U-shaped. Sufficient conditions for both types of paths are identified for a range of models and parameters, including symmetrical models with homothetic, constant-returns functions such as with CES functions. Similar results are also shown to arise in decentralized economies under either homogeneous or heterogeneous income levels.
A finite form for the bracket polynomial of a polygonal curve with 4 edges from Knot polynomials of open and closed curves

description: In this manuscript, we introduce a method to measure entanglement of curves in 3-space that extends the notion of knot and link polynomials to open curves. We define the bracket polynomial of curves in 3-space and show that it has real coefficients and is a continuous function of the curve coordinates. This is used to define the Jones polynomial in a way that it is applicable to both open and closed curves in 3-space. For open curves, the Jones polynomial has real coefficients and it is a continuous function of the curve coordinates and as the endpoints of the curve tend to coincide, the Jones polynomial of the open curve tends to that of the resulting knot. For closed curves, it is a topological invariant, as the classical Jones polynomial. We show how these measures attain a simpler expression for polygonal curves and provide a finite form for their computation in the case of polygonal curves of 3 and 4 edges.

description: We analyze the morphological transition of a one-dimensional system described by a scalar field, where a flat state looses its stability. This scalar field may for example account for the position of a crystal growth front, an order parameter, or a concentration profile. We show that two types of dynamics occur around the transition: weakly nonlinear dynamics, or highly nonlinear dynamics. The conditions under which highly nonlinear evolution equations appear are determined, and their generic form is derived. Finally, examples are discussed.

description: The emergence of a complex, large-scale organisation of cosmic matter into the Cosmic Web is a beautiful exemplification of how complexity can be produced by simple initial conditions and simple physical laws. In the epoch of Big Data in astrophysics, connecting the stunning variety of multi-messenger observations to the complex interplay of fundamental physical processes is an open challenge. In this contribution, I discuss a few relevant applications of Information Theory to the task of objectively measuring the complexity of modern numerical simulations of the Universe. When applied to cosmological simulations, complexity analysis makes it possible to measure the total information necessary to model the cosmic web. It also allow us to monitor which physical processes are mostly responsible for the emergence of complex dynamical behaviour across cosmic epochs and environments, and possibly to improve mesh refinement strategies in the future.

description: The topic of corruption has recently attracted a great deal of attention, yet there is still a lack of micro level empirical evidence regarding the determinants of corruption. Furthermore, the present literature has not investigated the effects of political interest on corruption despite the interesting potential of this link. We address these deficiencies by analyzing a cross-section of individuals, using the World Values Survey. We explore the determinants of corruption through two dependent variables (perceived corruption and the justifiability of corruption). The impact of political interest on corruption is explored through three different proxies, presenting empirical evidence at both the cross-country level and the within-country level. The results of the multivariate analysis suggest that political interest has an impact on corruption controlling for a large number of factors.

description: The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation with infinitesimal surface tension, dynamically develops sharply connected valley structures within which the height derivative is not continuous. We discuss the intermittency issue in the problem of stationary state forced KPZ equation in 1+1--dimensions. It is proved that the moments of height increments $C_a = < | h (x_1) - h (x_2) |^a > $ behave as $ |x_1 -x_2|^{ξ_a}$ with $ξ_a = a$ for length scales $|x_1-x_2| << σ$. The length scale $σ$ is the characteristic length of the forcing term. We have checked the analytical results by direct numerical simulation.

Apolophus Townes 1971: 111. Type species: Apolophus borealis Townes, 1971, by original designation.
Diagnosis.
The head is elongate, with an exceptionally long malar space measuring 1.20–1.80 × the basal mandibular width. The clypeus is large, subquadrate, and with the clypeal sulcus weakly impressed or absent, which results in the face and clypeus forming a nearly uniform, smooth plane in most species. The occipital carina is ventrally incomplete. The mandible is slender, with the lower tooth 0.50–1.00 × the length of the upper tooth. The fore wing features a rhomboid to pentagonal areolet (areolet lightly petiolate in S. valenzuelai sp. nov.), and the pterostigma is broad and triangular, with a maximum length 2.30–3.00 × its maximum width. In the hind wing, the basal abscissa of vein M + Cu 1 is strongly arched, and the distal abscissa of vein Cu 1 connects to vein cu-a much closer to vein 1 A than to vein M. The first metasomal tergite exhibits an anterior median depression bordered laterally by raised edges. The glymma is deep, converging at the midline, and often separated only by a translucent partition. In females, the hypopygium is large and arched but not folded medioventrally. The ovipositor is slender, slightly upcurved, and lacks a dorsal subapical notch.
Distribution.
The genus is distributed in the Holarctic region (Austria, England, Germany, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and the United States of America) and Neotropical region (Argentina, Chile, and Costa Rica), which includes the Andean biogeographic zone (sensu Morrone 2015).
Included species.
S. borealis (Townes, 1971) (Nearctic, West Palearctic); S. clypeatus Araujo & Santos, 2018 (Andean); S. maculatus Araujo & Vivallo, 2018 (Andean); S. magellanicus Walkley, 1962 (Andean); S. talamanca (Gauld & Sithole, 2002) (Neotropical); S. viridis Townes & Townes, 1950 (Andean).

description: We consider quantum tunnelling in asymmetric double-well systems for which the local minima in the two wells have the same energy, but the frequencies differ slightly. We derive a generalization of instanton theory for these asymmetric systems, leading to a semiclassical expression for the tunnelling matrix element and hence the energy level splitting. We benchmark the method using a set of one- and two-dimensional models, for which the results compare favourably with numerically exact quantum calculations. Using the ring-polymer instanton approach, we apply the method to compute the level splittings in various isotopic-substituted versions of malonaldehyde in full dimensionality and analyse the relative contributions from the zero-point energy difference and tunnelling effects.

description: This multidisciplinary study adopts econometric analysis for investigating how different characteristics determine the choice of the language used in the signs of a shopping street. We work with a dataset containing about 200 observations collected in the main shopping streets of the cities of Donostia (Spain) and Ljouwert (The Netherlands). The results corroborate the important assumption that multilingualism and the choice of the language (even in a street sign) is an individual and a social preference. Therefore, understanding individuals’ linguistic preference structures is preliminary to the target and design of proper linguistic and social policies.

By making a statistical correction for field stars we derive a preliminary luminosity function, and a very tentative mass function. The white dwarf sequence is clearly shown, and has been discussed in a separate paper.

description: Recently, the HESS telescope has observed a gamma-ray spectrum from the galactic center extending to at least $\sim$10 TeV. Although it has been suggested that this could be the product of annihilating dark matter particles, the candidates most frequently discussed (such as neutralinos) are far too light to account for this flux. In this letter, we consider stable particles from the messenger sector of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking models as an alternative dark matter candidate. We find that a 20 to 30 TeV messenger state can provide a thermal relic density consistent with the measured dark matter density of the universe and can indeed generate the spectrum observed by HESS.

description: This paper examines optimal business development strategies for rural firms given the specific characteristics of their rural business environment. An investigation of rural business strategy informs public policy formation by helping to determine how rural firms would react to changes in their market and policy environment. Moreover, an explicit rural business strategy analysis should help rural business managers and advisers to identify appropriate responses to changes in factors external to the business. A mathematical business optimisation model, that is set within a spatial market framework, has been developed. The model incorporates factors such as spatial market orientation and technology use, and identifies the business strategy that is optimal in different market and policy environments. The model is applied to a beef and sheep farm that can choose between selling livestock to meat processors or processing on-farm and selling direct to consumers. Model simulations reveal when it is optimal for the farm business to innovate in this way and how this decision is affected by changes in key parameters. The model’s predictions are discussed in the context of local food supply, which is considered to have the benefits of being traceable, supporting the local economy and reducing food miles.

description: Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZ) were introduced in response to the Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC) which states that all EU countries must reduce the nitrate in drinking water to a maximum of 50mg/l. Farmers within a designated NVZ must adhere to strict rules over the timing and application of nitrogen from organic and inorganic sources. In Scotland, four NVZ regions were designated in 2003, covering around 14% of the land area. This paper outlines the results of a recent study to understand farmer activities in response to and attitudes towards NVZ regulations. A telephone survey of 177 farmers was administered, supplemented by four workshops held in each NVZ region. This was to explore, both quantitatively and qualitatively, farmer behaviour and attitudes when operating within these regions. Farmers have only responded to a small extent to the tighter restrictions placed on them after designation in 2003. The bulk of farmers claim to have made little capital investment, the major activity predominantly being in stock-proof fencing. Furthermore, few farmers have invested in increased slurry storage facilities, claiming to have had enough storage capacity before designation to cover the imposed closed period. Farmer attitudes indicate a mostly negative view towards the perceived environmental benefits, water management and towards compliance. This can be explained by a number of concerns raised by farmers towards the scientific basis for designations. Furthermore, farmers viewed the restrictions placed on farming practices within NVZs as too inflexible. This raises a number of issues; i) it suggests that the NVZ regulations adopted by the Scottish Government do not seem to have had a great effect on compromising activity levels, ii) it suggests that transfer of information has not helped to raise awareness of environmental issues; iii) farmers feel their concerns are not likely to be taken into account in terms of the future direction of the regulations; and iv) adoption of best practice is hindered by a belief of ‘victimisation’, regarding the NVZ designations.

description: Drone susceptibility to jamming or spoofing attacks of GPS, RF, Wi-Fi, and operator signals presents a danger to future medical delivery systems. A detection framework capable of sensing attacks on drones could provide the capability for active responses. The identification of interference attacks has applicability in medical delivery, disaster zone relief, and FAA enforcement against illegal jamming activities. A gap exists in the literature for solo or swarm-based drones to identify radio frequency spectrum attacks. Any non-delivery specific function, such as attack sensing, added to a drone involves a weight increase and additional complexity; therefore, the value must exceed the disadvantages. Medical delivery, high-value cargo, and disaster zone applications could present a value proposition which overcomes the additional costs. The paper examines types of attacks against drones and describes a framework for designing an attack detection system with active response capabilities for improving the reliability of delivery and other medical applications.

description: Data citation involves data stewards assigning unique and persistent identifiers to data in order that data users can	reference those identifiers when data are used in research or as inputs to assessments, models, or derived products.	Data citation is similar in many respects to the long-established convention of citing publications, and is an evolving	but increasingly important scientific practice. This Procedural Directive establishes the requirements for obtaining	persistent identifiers for data archived at the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), the procedure for creating landing pages providing dataset information and access instructions, and the recommendations regarding citation of NOAA data by internal and external users. This Directive discusses the purpose and syntax of these	identifiers, the	appropriate level of granularity of a data collection, how to obtain an identifier, the content of the landing page, and the recommended data citation format.
Contemporary Lakota identity : Melda and Lupe Trejo on ’being Indian’
Creators: name: Petrillo, Larissa Suzanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis explores contemporary Lakota identity, as informed by the life story narratives of Melda and Lupe Trejo. Melda Red Bear (Lakota) was born on Pine Ridge (Oglala Lakota / Sioux) Reservation in South Dakota (1939-). Her husband, Lupe Trejo (1938-1999) is Mexican and has been a long-term resident of the reservation. I first met this couple in 1994 and developed an abiding friendship with them prior to our decision to collaborate in recording their storytelling sessions (1997-98). The recording and interpretation of the material evokes ethical questions about power and representation that have arisen with debates about 'as-told-to' autobiographies. Theoretical and methodological issues associated with cultural anthropology, literary criticism and oral history are part of the interdisciplinary intellectual work of this research and are discussed in the context of the project. The thesis follows an introspective, recursive methodology, where early research decisions are analyzed in the light of what I have learned in this process of apprenticeship to Lakota traditional thinkers. The narratives reveal that contemporary Lakota identity encompasses colonial discourses, strategic responses to such impositions, and an autonomous indigenous system of beliefs. This epistemological tradition, that is, traditional Lakota spiritual beliefs, promotes an acknowledgment of relations as opposed to exclusive categories of cultural difference. Melda Trejo has substantial connections to the Lakota community and her marriage follows the traditional pattern of "marrying out." Lupe Trejo configures his Mexican ancestry in ways that align with the Lakota people while also acknowledging his difference in the community. Melda and Lupe define themselves as Lakota through their spiritual practice in the Sundance as it reappeared in the cultural resurgence at Pine Ridge in the 1970s and 1980s. They situate themselves and their Sundance amid the controversies that surround authentic practices and the participation of outsiders in the ceremony. The thesis provides an interpretive framework, supported by additional life stories as well as critical and ethnographic material, for the analysis of selected stories.

description: A quantum processor is a programmable quantum circuit in which both the data and the program, which specifies the operation that is carried out on the data, are quantum states. We study the situation in which we want to use such a processor to approximate a set of unitary operators to a specified level of precision. We measure how well an operation is performed by the process fidelity between the desired operation and the operation produced by the processor. We show how to find the program for a given processor that produces the best approximation of a particular unitary operation. We also place bounds on the dimension of the program space that is necessary to approximate a set of unitary operators to a specified level of precision.

description: One of the robust features found in simulations of core-collapse supernovae (SNe) is the prompt neutronization burst, i.e. the first $\sim 25$ milliseconds after bounce when the SN emits with very high luminosity mainly $ν_e$ neutrinos. We examine the dependence of this burst on variations in the input of current SN models and find that recent improvements of the electron capture rates as well as uncertainties in the nuclear equation of state or a variation of the progenitor mass have only little effect on the signature of the neutronization peak in a megaton water Cherenkov detector for different neutrino mixing schemes. We show that exploiting the time-structure of the neutronization peak allows one to identify the case of a normal mass hierarchy and large 13-mixing angle $θ_{13}$, where the peak is absent. The robustness of the predicted total event number in the neutronization burst makes a measurement of the distance to the SN feasible with a precision of about 5%, even in the likely case that the SN is optically obscured.

description: Upgrades to improve the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors enable more frequent detections and more precise source parameter estimation. Unlike other advanced interferometric detectors such as Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo, KAGRA requires different approach for the upgrade since it is the only detector which employs cryogenic cooling of the test masses. In this paper, we describe possible KAGRA upgrades with technologies focusing on different detector bands, and compare the impacts on the detection of compact binary coalescences. We show that either fivefold improvement in the $100 M_{\odot}$--$100 M_{\odot}$ binary black hole range, a factor of 1.3 improvement in the binary neutron star range, or a factor of 1.7 improvement in the sky localization of binary neutron stars is well feasible with upgrades that do not require changes in the existing cryogenic or vacuum infrastructure. We also show that twofold broadband sensitivity improvement is possible by applying multiple upgrades to the detector.
