description: The examination of about 2,500 specimens of the Coccinellidae family, present in the EntomologicalCollection of the San Antonio Abad National University of Cusco, Peru, allowed to determine the presence of 16 species of known predatory habits of economic importance, from 74 localities in 40 districts of the 13 provinces of the department of Cusco. The 16 species are distributed in 10 genera and seven tribes, all of them within the Coccinellinae Mulsant sub-family: Eriopis peruviana Hofmann, 1970, Eriopis andina Hofmann, 1970, Eriopis minima Hofmann, 1970, Paraneda pallidula guticollis (Mulsant, 1850), Cycloneda vandenbergae González, Bustamante & Oróz, 2008, Cycloneda sanguinea (Linnaeus, 1763), Cycloneda dieguezi González, 2018, Cycloneda arcula (Erichson, 1847), Hippodamia convergens (Guerin-Meneville, 1842), Hippodamia variegata (Goeze, 1777), Azya scutata Mulsant, 1850, Scymnus (Pullus) rubicundus Erichson, 1847, Hyperaspis festiva (Mulsant, 1850), Rodolia cardinalis (Mulsant, 1850), Parastethorus histrio (Chazeau & Fursch, 1974) and Curinus coeruleus Mulsant, 1850. A diagnosis is indicated for each species, its distribution in the department and images of its habitus and genital apparatus.

description: The Navier boundary condition for velocity slip on flat surfaces, when expressed in tensor form, is readily extended to surfaces of any shape. We test this assertion using molecular dynamics simulations of flow in channels with flat and curved walls and for rotating cylinders and spheres, all for a wide range of solid-liquid interaction strengths. We find that the slip length as conventionally measured at a flat wall in Couette flow is the same as that for all other cases with curved and rotating boundaries, provided the atomic interactions are the same and boundary shape is properly taken into account. These results support the idea that the slip length is a material property, transferable between different flow configurations.

description: Based on the photometric data from the Spitzer/SAGE survey and with red giants as the extinction tracers, the mid-infrared (MIR) extinction laws in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are derived for the first time in the form of A_λ/A_Ks, the extinction in the four IRAC bands (i.e., [3.6], [4.5], [5.8] and [8.0]um) relative to the 2MASS Ks band at 2.16um. We obtain the near-infrared (NIR) extinction coefficient to be E(J-H)/E(H-Ks)=1.29\pm0.04 and E(J-Ks)/E(H-Ks)=1.94\pm0.04. The wavelength dependence of the MIR extinction A_λ/A_Ks in the LMC varies from one sightline to another. The overall mean MIR extinction is A_[3.6]/A_Ks=0.72\pm0.03, A_[4.5]/A_Ks=0.94\pm0.03, A_[5.8]/A_Ks=0.58\pm0.04, and A_[8.0]/A_Ks=0.62\pm0.05. Except for the extinction in the IRAC [4.5] band which may be contaminated by the 4.6um CO gas absorption of red giants (which are used to trace the LMC extinction), the extinction in the other three IRAC bands show a flat curve, close to the Milky Way Rv = 5.5 model extinction curve (where Rv is the optical total-to-selective extinction ratio). The possible systematic bias caused by the correlated uncertainties of Ks-λand J-Ks is explored in terms of Monte-Carlo simulations. It is found that this could lead to an overestimation of A_lambda/A_Ks in the MIR.

description: We analyze whether the prediction of the fractal markets hypothesis about a dominance of specific investment horizons during turbulent times holds. To do so, we utilize the continuous wavelet transform analysis and obtained wavelet power spectra which give the crucial information about the variance distribution across scales and its evolution in time. We show that the most turbulent times of the Global Financial Crisis can be very well characterized by the dominance of short investment horizons which is in hand with the assertions of the fractal markets hypothesis.

description: We identify signatures of chaos in the dynamics of discord in a multiqubit system collectively modelled as a quantum kicked top. The evolution of discord between any two qubits is quasiperiodic in regular regions, while in chaotic regions, the quasiperiodicity is lost. As the initial wave function is varied from the regular regions to the chaotic sea, a contour plot of the time averaged discord remarkably reproduces the structures of the classical stroboscopic map. We also find surprisingly opposite behaviour of two-qubit discord versus two-qubit entanglement. Our calculations provide the first evidence of signatures of chaos in dynamically generated discord.

description: The process of anesthesia is nonlinear with time delay and also there are some constraints which have to be considered in calculating administrative drug dosage. We present an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) observer to estimate drug concentration in the patient's body and use this estimation in a state-space based Model of Predictive Controller (MPC) for controlling the depth of anesthesia. Bispectral Index (BIS) is used as a patient consciousness index and propofol as an anesthetic agent. Performance evaluations of the proposed controller, the results have been compared with those of a MPC controller. The results demonstrate that state-space MPC including the EKF estimator for controlling the anesthesia process can significantly increase the robustness in encountering patients' delay deviations in comparison with the MPC.

description: We have discovered a persistent, but highly variable X-ray source in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. The source varies at the level of a factor of about 5 in count rate on timescales of a few hours. Two long observations of the source with Chandra and XMM-Newton show suggestive evidence for the source having a period of about 14-15 hours, but the time sampling in existing data is insufficient to allow a firm determination that the source is periodic. Given the amplitude of variation and the location in a nuclear starburst, the source is likely to be a Wolf-Rayet X-ray binary, with the tentative period being the orbital period of the system. In light of the fact that we have demonstrated that careful examination of the variability of moderately bright X-ray sources in nearby galaxies can turn up candidate Wolf-Rayet X-ray binaries, we discuss the implications of Wolf-Rayet X-ray binaries for predictions of the gravitational wave source event rate, and, potentially, interpretations of the events.

description: We present new data for five under-luminous type II-plateau supernovae (SNe IIP), namely SN 1999gn, SN 2002gd, SN 2003Z, SN 2004eg and SN 2006ov. This new sample of low-luminosity SNe IIP (LL SNe IIP) is analyzed together with similar objects studied in the past. All of them show a flat light curve plateau lasting about 100 days, an under luminous late-time exponential tail, intrinsic colours that are unusually red, and spectra showing prominent and narrow P-Cygni lines. A velocity of the ejected material below 10^3 km/s is inferred from measurements at the end of the plateau. The 56Ni masses ejected in the explosion are very small (less than 10^-2 solar masses). We investigate the correlations among 56Ni mass, expansion velocity of the ejecta and absolute magnitude in the middle of the plateau, confirming the main findings of Hamuy (2003), according to which events showing brighter plateau and larger expansion velocities are expected to produce more 56Ni. We propose that these faint objects represent the low luminosity tail of a continuous distribution in parameters space of SNe IIP. The physical properties of the progenitors at the explosion are estimated through the hydrodynamical modeling of the observables for two representative events of this class, namely SN 2005cs and SN 2008in. We find that the majority of LL SNe IIP, and quite possibly all, originate in the core-collapse of intermediate mass stars, in the mass range 10-15 solar masses.

description: Abstract: Online discursive practices often take place within a context know as an age of outrage. This culture of outrage dominates the current socio-political condition showing few, if any, signs of subsiding. In fact, this project suggests that outrage culture is an inescapable societal framework within which rhetors operate today. Outrage culture can be understood as the tendency for individuals to react publicly to any rhetorical action that is deemed offensive, insensitive, or uncivil in nature. These outraged reactions are often mob-like in nature; they are polarized, politicized, and enacted quickly without further investigation into the context, meaning, and intentions of the original rhetorical action. This project asks: under what circumstances can rhetors offer stylized answers for dealing with socio-political issues in an age of outrage? This research reveals that some rhetors use disruptive rhetoric to challenge hierarchical structures, utilizing the rhetorical concept of “impiety,” which in turn can create publics within digital, discursive spaces. These digitally networked publics demonstrate how groups coalesce and self-organize in order to discuss, negotiate, and contest meaning in response to disruptive acts. This project also proposes that affective releases can sustain networked publics through public displays of emotion and intensity as they seek to reorder and reorganize disrupted hierarchies. Archival research on digital platforms provides digital methods to locate the formulation of these networked, affective publics by tracking specific hashtags responding to disruptive rhetorical strategies. Hashtags become sites of affect wherein publics debate, deliberate, and contest deeper meanings of messages offered by disruptive rhetors. Additionally, this project utilizes close reading methods to reveal the affective nature of these hashtagged responses, which create rhetorical space for publics to feel their way into understanding. This project’s goal is to not only propose new approaches for understanding disruptive rhetorical strategies, but also offer methods to track and locate future disruptions in an age of outrage.

description: We realize a nonlinear acoustic lens composed of a two-dimensional array of sphere chains interfaced with water. The chains are able to support solitary waves which, when interfaced with a linear medium, transmit compact pulses with minimal oscillations. When focused, the lens is able to produce compact pressure pulses of high amplitude, the "sound bullets". We demonstrate that the focal point can be controlled via pre-compression of the individual chains, as this changes the wave speed within them. The experimental results agree well both spatially and temporally with analytical predictions over a range of focus locations.

description: We investigate the energy spectrum for hybrid mechanical systems described by non-parity-symmetric quantum Rabi models. A set of analytical solutions in terms of the confluent Heun functions and their analytical energy spectrum are obtained. The analytical energy spectrum includes regular and exceptional parts, which are both confirmed by direct numerical simulation. The regular part is determined by the zeros of the Wronskian for a pair of analytical solutions. The exceptional part is relevant to the isolated exact solutions and its energy eigenvalues are obtained by analyzing the truncation conditions for the confluent Heun functions. By analyzing the energy eigenvalues for exceptional points, we obtain the analytical conditions for the energy-level-crossings, which correspond to two-fold energy degeneracy.

description: Quantum entanglement can help to increase the precision of optical phase measurements beyond the shot noise limit (SNL) to the ultimate Heisenberg limit. However, the N-photon parity measurements required to achieve this optimal sensitivity are extremely difficult to realize with current photon detection technologies, requiring high-fidelity resolution of N+1 different photon distributions between the output ports. Recent experimental demonstrations of precision beyond the SNL have therefore used only one or two photon-number detection patterns instead of parity measurements. Here we investigate the achievable phase sensitivity of the simple and efficient single interference fringe detection technique. We show that the maximally-entangled "NOON" state does not achieve optimal phase sensitivity when N > 4, rather, we show that the Holland-Burnett state is optimal. We experimentally demonstrate this enhanced sensitivity using a single photon-counted fringe of the six-photon Holland-Burnett state. Specifically, our single-fringe six-photon measurement achieves a phase variance three times below the SNL.

description: Many real-world problems are dynamic optimization problems. In this case, the optima in the environment change dynamically. Therefore, traditional optimization algorithms disable to track and find optima. In this paper, a new multi-swarm cellular particle swarm optimization based on clonal selection algorithm (CPSOC) is proposed for dynamic environments. In the proposed algorithm, the search space is partitioned into cells by a cellular automaton. Clustered particles in each cell, which make a sub-swarm, are evolved by the particle swarm optimization and clonal selection algorithm. Experimental results on Moving Peaks Benchmark demonstrate the superiority of the CPSOC its popular methods.

description: Als gebürtige Oberösterreicherin begleiteten mich Berge, Tradition und Landleben seit meiner Kindheit. Im Laufe des Studiums entwickelte sich die Intention, ein Bauwerk im alpinen Hochgebirge zu entwerfen. Die zweite maßgebende Komponente, die zur Themenfindung meiner Masterarbeit beitrug, war mein Studienaufenthalt in Italien im Rahmen des Erasmus-Programms. Nach insgesamt 1,5 Jahren italienischem Einfluss, 6 Jahre Studium und die Liebe zu den Bergen, formte sich im Mai letzten Jahres die selbst aufgetragene Aufgabe, eine Berghütte in den Dolomiten, in unmittelbarer Nähe des Lago di Sorapis (bei Cortina d’Ampezzo), als finalen Entwurf der Ausbildung zu erarbeiten. Der ländliche Raum steht unter starkem Einfluss einer zunehmenden baulichen Verdichtung. Die kennzeichnenden Qualitäten des sensiblen Lebensraumes kommen dabei aufgrund von Zeit- oder Kostendruck oder wegen mangelndem Kulturbewusstsein oft abhanden. Der gewissenhafte Einsatz von natürlich-vorkommenden Materialien und der bewusste Umgang mit der Ressource Boden werden in vielen Fällen vernachlässigt. Dies hat eine Distanzierung der geschichtlichen Baukulturen und -traditionen zur Folge. Die Diplomarbeit versucht, diesen Tendenzen entgegenzuwirken, indem sie die Prinzipien und Denkweisen vernakulärer Architektur aufzeigt, einbettet und mit respektvoller Methodik fortentwickelt. Das Baugebiet der Arbeit, die venezianischen Dolomiten, beeindrucken mit einer unvergleichlichen Architekturlandschaft, welche unter anderem durch den Architekten Edoardo Gellner dokumentiert und beeinflusst wurden. Die präzise Untersuchung der vorhandenen Modalitäten schafft die Basis zur Übersetzung ruraler Gegebenheiten in eine architektonische Neuinterpretation. Die Arbeit gliedert sich in drei Abschnitte. Das erste Kapitel geht auf die Geschichte des Bauens in den Bergen ein, um einen Einblick in die Entfaltung der ersten primitiven Schutzhütten hin zu einem eigenständigen Solitär unter Berücksichtigung historischer und politischer Einflüsse zu schaffen. Darüber hinaus werden Neuinterpretationen und Experimente in Richtung effizientes und innovatives Bauen hinsichtlich Materialneuheiten und Energiegewinnung behandelt.

description: Background. Many older people who experience a loss of functional independence, following a hospitalization must move to a long-term care home. These transitions are often unexpected and can have significant consequences. Several studies have explored different aspects of these transitions, but no knowledge synthesis addressing this phenomenon has been identified.Aim. Our aim is to map available knowledge about the relocation of older people from the hospital to a long-term care home, following a decline in health and loss of functional independence.Methods. Following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Manual, a scoping review will be conducted of the relocation of older people, aged 65 and over, from the hospital to a long-term care home. It will also include the perspectives of stakeholders involved in this process. We will search seven databases and gray literature, as well as conduct a retrospective search. Documents published since 2004 and from all countries will be included. The search will be limited to English and French texts. After a calibration exercise, records will be selected by two independent researchers in duplicate, first by title and abstract, and then by full text. Data extraction and quality assessment will be conducted according to the JBI Manual. Analysis of evidence will consist in content analysis and descriptive statistics. Results will be presented by means of charts, graphs, and narrative descriptions.Discussion. Our findings will help to identify areas of research that should be developed in order to gain insight into the process of integrating a long-term care home from a hospital.

description: We report on a wide-field optical monitoring method for revealing local delaminations in sandwich-type composite plates at video-rate by holographic vibrometry. Non-contact measurements of low frequency flexural waves is performed with time-averaged heterodyne holography. It enables narrowband imaging of local out-of-plane nanometric vibration amplitudes under sinusoidal excitation, and reveals delamination defects, which cause local resonances of flexural waves. The size of the defect can be estimated from the first resonance frequency of the flexural wave and the mechanical parameters of the observed layer of the composite plate.

description: We investigate the total degrees of freedom (DoF) of the K-user rank-deficient interference channel with feedback. For the two-user case, we characterize the total DoF by developing an achievable scheme and deriving a matching upper bound. For the three-user case, we develop a new achievable scheme which employs interference alignment to efficiently utilize the dimension of the received signal space. In addition, we derive an upper bound for the general K-user case and show the tightness of the bound when the number of antennas at each node is sufficiently large. As a consequence of these results, we show that feedback can increase the DoF when the number of antennas at each node is large enough as compared to the ranks of channel matrices. This finding is in contrast to the full-rank interference channel where feedback provides no DoF gain. The gain comes from using feedback to provide alternative signal paths, thereby effectively increasing the ranks of desired channel matrices.

description: A new method of computing multipolar exchange interaction in spin-orbit coupled systems is developed using multipolar tensor expansion of the density matrix in LDA+U electronic structure calculation. Within mean-field approximation, exchange constants can be mapped into a series of total energy calculations by pair-flip technique. Application to Uranium dioxide shows an antiferromagnetic superexchange coupling in dipoles but ferromagnetic in quadrupoles which is very different from past studies. Further calculation of spin-lattice interaction indicates it is of the same order with superexchange and characterizes the overall behavior of quadrupolar part as a competition between them.

description: We report on the progress of our five-year program for astrometric monitoring of magnetars using high-resolution NIR observations using the laser guide star adaptive optics (LGS-AO) supported NIRC2 camera on the 10-meter Keck telescope. We have measured the proper motion of two of the youngest magnetars, SGR\,1806$-$20 and SGR\,1900+14, which have counterparts with K $\sim$21\,mag, and have placed a preliminary upper limit on the motion of the young AXP\,1E\,1841$-$045. The precision of the proper motion measurement is at the milliarcsecond per year level. Our proper motion measurements now provide evidence to link SGR\,1806$-$20 and SGR\,1900+14 with neighboring young star clusters. At the distances of these magnetars, their proper motion corresponds to transverse space velocities of $350\pm100\,\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}}$ and $130\pm30\,\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}}$ respectively. The upper limit on the proper motion of AXP\,1E\,1841$-$045 is $160\,\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}}$. With the sample of proper motions available, we conclude that the kinematics of the magnetar family are not distinct from that of pulsars.

description: BACKGROUND: Rapid frailty screening remains problematic in primary care. The diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) of several screening instruments has not been sufficiently established. We evaluated the DTA of several screening instruments against two reference standards: Fried's Frailty Phenotype [FP] and the Adelaide Frailty Index [AFI]), a self-reported questionnaire. METHODS: DTA study within three general practices in South Australia. We randomly recruited 243 general practice patients aged 75+ years. Eligible participants were 75+ years, proficient in English and community-dwelling. We excluded those who were receiving palliative care, hospitalized or living in a residential care facility.We calculated sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, likelihood ratios, Youden Index and area under the curve (AUC) for: Edmonton Frail Scale [EFS], FRAIL Scale Questionnaire [FQ], Gait Speed Test [GST], Groningen Frailty Indicator [GFI], Kihon Checklist [KC], Polypharmacy [POLY], PRISMA-7 [P7], Reported Edmonton Frail Scale [REFS], Self-Rated Health [SRH] and Timed Up and Go [TUG]) against FP [3+ criteria] and AFI [>0.21]. RESULTS: We obtained valid data for 228 participants, with missing scores for index tests multiply imputed. Frailty prevalence was 17.5% frail, 56.6% prefrail [FP], and 48.7% frail, 29.0% prefrail [AFI]. Of the index tests KC (Se: 85.0% [70.2-94.3]; Sp: 73.4% [66.5-79.6]) and REFS (Se: 87.5% [73.2-95.8]; Sp: 75.5% [68.8-81.5]), both against FP, showed sufficient diagnostic accuracy according to our prespecified criteria. CONCLUSIONS: Two screening instruments-the KC and REFS, show the most promise for wider implementation within general practice, enabling a personalized approach to care for older people with frailty.

description: Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond are ideal platforms for quantum simulation, which allows one to handle problems that are intractable theoretically or experimentally. Here we propose a digital quantum simulation scheme to simulate the quantum phase transition occurring in an ultrathin topological insulator film placed in a parallel magnetic field [Zyuzin \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. B \textbf{83}, 245428 (2011)]. The quantum simulator employs high quality spin qubits achievable in nitrogen-vacancy centers and can be realized with existing technology. The problem can be mapped onto the Hamiltonian of two entangled qubits represented by the electron and nuclear spins. The simulation uses the Trotter algorithm, with an operation time of the order of 100 $μ$s for each individual run.

description: Bound states of the power-law and logarithmic potentials are calculated using a generalized pseudospectral method. The solution of the single-particle Schrödinger equation in a nonuniform and optimal spatial discretization offers accurate eigenvalues, densities and expectation values. The calculations are carried out for states with arbitrary $n$ and $\ell$ quantum numbers. Comparisons are made with the available literature data and excellent agreement is observed. In all the cases, the present method yields considerably improved results over the other existing calculations. Some new states are reported.

description: This paper analyses topological variants of mereological essentialism, the thesis that an object cannot have different parts than the ones it has. In particular, we examine de dicto and de re versions of two theses: (i) that an object cannot change its external connections (e.g., adjacent objects cannot be separated), and (ii) that an object cannot change its topological genus (e.g., a doughnut cannot turn into a sphere). Stronger forms of structural essentialism, such as morphological essentialism (an object cannot change shape) and locative essentialism (an object cannot change position) are also examined.

description: Increasing the federal minimum wage is a major issue in the 2020 presidential campaign. This paper’s objective is to evaluate the impact of an increase in the minimum wage on an industry, eggs, where labor is a key input. This analysis was carried out using an equilibrium displacement model. When spread across the industry, the total negative effects due to increasing the minimum wage does not appear to be economically significant. This is due in large part to the Iowa egg industry’s current equilibrium wage of $13.50 an hour. Consequently, imposing a $15.00 an hour minimum wage would be a difference of only $1.50 assuming the egg industry does not increase it further. However, to stay competitive, egg industry employers would likely need to increase its wage to some level above $15.00 should the minimum wage be increased to that level. Despite these seemingly small effects, egg producers may nonetheless struggle in the short run to respond to immediate labor expenses should the state (or nation) not phase in its minimum wage over the course of several years. Most likely, if Iowa were to increase its minimum wage to $15.00 an hour, it would follow the lead of other states and incrementally increase its minimum wage over the course of many years until reaching $15.00.

description: Objectives: Studies conducted among older people have shown that frailty is a common condition associated with an array of adverse outcomes. The aims of this study were to identify the prevalence and associations of frailty in older people residing in several aged care facilities located in Queensland, Australia. Methods: The database used for this study was drawn from the Aged Care Funding Instrument (ACFI) database of an Australian aged care provider, and contained data from ten aged care facilities in Queensland, Australia. A modification of an eFI originally developed by Clegg and colleagues and based on Rockwood’s Frailty Index (FI) of cumulative deficits was used to identify frailty. Results: In total, 592 participants aged 75 years and over were included in the study (66.6% female). Median (IQR) age was 88.0 (9.0) years. Frailty prevalence among the sample was 43.6%, with 46.3% pre-frail and 10.1% not frail. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis incorporating three different models, frailty was significantly associated with three ACFI domains (Nutrition, Depression and Complex Health Care), along with facility size, consistently across two models. In the third model, frailty was also significantly associated with arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis and vision problems, along with male gender. Conclusion: There is a need to develop frailty identification and management programs as part of standard care pathways for older adults residing in aged care facilities. Aged care facilities should consider regular frailty screening in residential aged care residents, along with interventions addressing specific issues such as dysphagia and depression.

description: A search is presented for long-lived charged particles that decay within the volume of the silicon tracker of the CMS experiment. Such particles can produce events with an isolated track that is missing hits in the outermost layers of the silicon tracker, and is also associated with little energy deposited in the calorimeters and no hits in the muon detectors. The search for events with this "disappearing track" signature is performed in a sample of proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $101\text{fb}^{-1}$ recorded in 2017 and 2018. The observation of $48$ events is consistent with the estimated background of $47.8 \, _{-2.3}^{+2.7} \, (\text{stat}) \pm 8.1 \, (\text{syst})$ events. Upper limits are set on chargino production in the context of an anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking model for purely wino and higgsino neutralino scenarios. At $95\%$ confidence level, the first constraint is placed on chargino masses in the higgsino case, excluding below $750$ ($175$) GeV for a lifetime of $3$ ($0.05$) ns. In the wino case, the results of this search are combined with a previous CMS search to produce a result representing the complete LHC data set recorded in 2015-2018, the most stringent constraints to date. At $95\%$ confidence level, chargino masses in the wino case are excluded below $884$ ($474$) GeV for a lifetime of $3$ ($0.2$) ns.

description: The 8He(d,p) reaction was studied in inverse kinematics at 15.4A MeV using the MUST2 Si-CsI array in order to shed light on the level structure of 9He. The well known 16O(d,p)17O reaction, performed here in reverse kinematics, was used as a test to validate the experimental methods. The 9He missing mass spectrum was deduced from the kinetic energies and emission angles of the recoiling protons. Several structures were observed above the neutron-emission threshold and the angular distributions were used to deduce the multipolarity of the transitions. This work confirms that the ground state of 9He is located very close to the neutron threshold of 8He and supports the occurrence of parity inversion in 9He.

description: Here we present the analysis of the roman pottery retrieved during the excavations carried out by the University of Genoa in the Insula 14 Regio VII at Pompei. In the area of the investigated shops, the nearly complete removal of all the floors, carried out in the first part of the nineteenth century, has allowed a detailed study of the stratigraphic layers to take place and to collect information, not only about several building phases between the end of the third century BC and 79 AD, but also about the socio-economic picture of the period. In particular, the pottery assemblage discarded near a series of small structures, mostly built in earth and wood, and probably used as latrines (II century BC), provides interesting clues about the ceramic used by the families who frequented the space in that period of time.

Boundaries, Continuity, and Contact

description: There are conflicting intuitions concerning the status of a boundary separating two adjacent entities (or two parts of the same entity). The boundary cannot belong to both things, for adjacency excludes overlap; and it cannot belong to neither, for nothing lies between two adjacent things. Yet how can the dilemma be avoided without assigning the boundary to one or the other thing at random? Some philosophers regard this as a "reductio" of the very notion of a boundary, which should accordingly be treated a mere façon de parler. In this paper I resist this temptation and examine some ways of taking the puzzle at face value within a realist perspective—treating boundaries as ontologically on a par with (albeit parasitic upon) voluminous parts.
