description: Wie stellt sich die Frage der Sichtbarkeit im historischen Archiv? Muss, was erinnert werden soll, materiell vorliegen? Viel Aufmerksamkeit ist Archiven als Ort der Gewalt und Machtinstrument gewidmet worden. Der Fokus auf das Funktionieren der Macht belässt jedoch die Unsichtbaren in der Unsichtbarkeit. Zugleich wird gezögert, die Lücken im Archiv mit positivem Wissen zu füllen, da dabei zu leicht in Vergessenheit gerät, dass die Lücken selbst Teil der Geschichte sind und dass sie weitreichende Folgen dafür haben, was gewusst werden kann. Wenn historische, koloniale Archive Repositorien der Gewalt sind, aber nicht der Leben derjenigen, die ihr ausgesetzt waren, wozu sich in und mit ihnen aufhalten? Es reicht nicht aus, so Saidiya Hartman, den Skandal aufzudecken. Viele wollen die Gewalt im Archiv daher nicht einfach stehen lassen oder in ihrer Darstellung wiederholen. Sie folgen stattdessen einem dringlichen Impuls zur Intervention. Trotz Archivskepsis wird sich weiterhin darum bemüht, die Unsichtbaren in den Archiven sichtbar, erinnerbar zu machen. Sichtbarkeit erfordert dabei nicht notwendiger Weise optische Wahrnehmbarkeit. Häufig geht es darum, etwas Verborgenes fühlbar zu machen, im Sinne eines expansiven Begriffs von Sichtbarkeit, der eine umfassende Wahrnehmbarkeit meint. In den folgenden Beispielen es geht sowohl darum, zu verstehen, wie Archivmacht funktioniert, als auch ihr etwas entgegenzusetzen. Sie sind von der affektiven Notwendigkeit motiviert, durch ein Verändern der Dokumente nicht so sehr die Vergangenheit um- oder neu zu schreiben, sondern für eine bessere zukünftige Wahrnehmung und Erinnerung zu sorgen. Interveniert wird auf der Ebene der Archivinstrumente – Text, Sprache, Zensur, die Archivpraktiken des Verdeckens und Offenbarens.

description: The objective of this study was to investigate if “Mixed Presenters,” people who present to emergency departments at least twice within 28 days, once for self-harm and once for another reason (any order), have an increased risk of subsequent serious self-harm compared to self-harm only repeat presenters. Self-harm coded emergency department data from the Multi-level Intervention for Suicide Prevention (MISP) study was utilized to identify people with at least two presentations to one of eight District Health Boards between 2010 and 2012. First eligible presentation pairs determined their “Mixed Presenter” or “Self-harm Only Presenter” status. The sample was linked to admission and mortality datasets. Survival analysis over the 30-month timeframe was used to determine which presenter group was at higher risk of serious self-harm. Mixed Presenters (n = 1,544), four times more common than Self-harm Only Presenters (n = 377), had an estimated 60% reduced risk of serious self-harm compared to Self-harm Only Presenters. Compared to men, women had a 3.5 times (HR 3.53, 95% CI 2.47–5.06) increased risk. Having an urgent triage code allocated at the index presentation and being admitted at that index presentation were associated with increased serious self-harm risk for Self-harm Only Presenters compared to Mixed Presenters. This study confirms that two presentations for self-harm within a short timeframe indicate high risk of serious self-harm in the future. As men often die following single attempts, and Mixed Presenters may transition to being Self-harm Only Presenters, each presentation for self-harm requires serious attention.

In addition, some particular cases are considered.

description: Objectives: We investigate the relationship between clinicians’ inclination toward treating patients at risk for suicide (PRS), and self-reported countertransference (CT). We consider these observed group differences to explore two competing interpretations for observed CT patterns from a primary study; whether CT patterns are more consistent with defensive attitudes or an adaptative CT montage. Method: We used one-way ANOVA, Tuckey post-hoc, and t-test, to compare clinicians (n = 267) grouped by self-ratings of positive, neutral or non-positive inclination toward working with PRS, with regard to their level of endorsement of the Therapist Response Questionnaire (TRQ) with PRS. We hypothesized that positively inclined clinicians would demonstrate greater CT literacy skills than other clinicians, reflected in lower endorsement of negative/hindering CT and higher endorsement of positive/facilitating CT to PRS. Results: Compared to non-positively inclined clinicians, positively inclined clinicians endorsed significantly lower levels of two potentially negative/hindering CT dimensions, factor 1: entrapped/rejecting and, factor 5: protective/overinvolvement, and higher levels of the only positive/facilitating CT dimension, factor 2: fulfilled/engaging. Neutral clinicians reported similar CT patterns to positively inclined clinicians. Conclusions: Hypothesis of greater CT literacy from positively inclined clinicians appears supported. Observed differences in CT endorsement by inclination group tend to support the CT montage interpretation of our original findings more than the defense mechanism interpretation proposed. Similarities in CT patterns between positively inclined and neutral clinicians suggest that positive inclination to PRS, as assessed in this study, may not be countertransferential per se.

description: This study helps to develop and promote the use of southeastern Australian native flora for phytoremediation of selected base metals manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) and the metalloid arsenic (As).A phytoremediating plant dataset was created and analysed for these elements. In flora across the globe, the plant families Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Poaceae were more likely to be suitable for phytoremediation as hyperaccumulators, extractors, indicators and stabilizers, and a significant association was observed between the plant family Asteraceae and phytoextractors. The families Fabaceae, Myrtaceae and Poaceae had the largest number of extractors and excluders in Australian native flora.A methodological study showed that handheld X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is suitable as a screening tool to use in the field to determine plant elemental composition, although sample moisture lowers the apparent elemental concentrations. For more accurate compositional data, plant samples should be cleaned, dried, milled, and analysed with a matrix-matched calibration or digested for other forms of analysis.Plants growing naturally at legacy base metal mines in southeastern Australia were used to prospect for potentially new phytoremediator species. Hibbertia obtusifolia (Hoary guinea-flower), Leptospermum polygalifolium (Jelly bush), and Leucopogon melaleucoides (Snow bush) are Mn phytoextractors. Angophora floribunda (Rough-barked apple), Cassinia longifolia (Cauliflower bush), Ozothamnus diosmifolius (Rice flower) and Ozothamnus obcordatus (Grey everlasting) are Zn phytoextractors, and H. obtusifolia is a Pb phytoextractor. Elemental analyses of H. obtusifolia stems showed that Pb was confined to the stem cortex, and Stypandra glauca (Nodding blue lily) accumulated Zn in its leaves, mesophyll cells and vascular bundles.Vegetation indices calculated using leaf reflectance spectra of Eucalyptus rossii (White gum) and Eucalyptus goniocalyx (Long-leaved box) showed no significant stress caused by metal, so remote sensing could not be used to identify these plants as metal extractors remotely.

description: Natural and artificial collectives exhibit heterogeneities across different dimensions, contributing to the complexity of their behavior. We investigate the effect of two such heterogeneities on collective opinion dynamics: heterogeneity of the quality of agents’ prior information and of degree centrality in the network. To study these heterogeneities, we introduce uncertainty as an additional dimension to the consensus opinion dynamics model, and consider a spectrum of heterogeneous networks with varying centrality. By quantifying and updating the uncertainty using Bayesian inference, we provide a mechanism for each agent to adaptively weigh their individual against social information. We observe that uncertainties develop throughout the interaction between agents, and capture information on heterogeneities. Therefore, we use uncertainty as an additional observable and show the bidirectional relation between centrality and information quality. In extensive simulations on heterogeneous opinion dynamics with Gaussian uncertainties, we demonstrate that uncertainty-driven adaptive weighting leads to increased accuracy and speed of consensus, especially with increasing heterogeneity. We also show the detrimental effect of overconfident central agents on consensus accuracy which can pose challenges in designing such systems. The opportunities for improved performance and observablility suggest the importance of considering uncertainty both for the study of natural and the design of artificial heterogeneous systems.

description: The temperature of the atomic matter in the Universe is held to that of the Cosmic Background radiation until decoupling at z~100. After this it cools faster than the radiation (\propto(1+z)^2 rather than (1+z)) and would have fallen to about 20mK today if astrophysical feedback processes had not heated up the interglactic medium. We show how the derivative of the Compton coupling equation helps numerically to follow the decoupling process.

Modeling the combined effect of surface roughness and shear rate on slip flow of simple fluids

description: Molecular dynamics (MD) and continuum simulations are carried out to investigate the influence of shear rate and surface roughness on slip flow of a Newtonian fluid. For weak wall-fluid interaction energy, the nonlinear shear-rate dependence of the intrinsic slip length in the flow over an atomically flat surface is computed by MD simulations. We describe laminar flow away from a curved boundary by means of the effective slip length defined with respect to the mean height of the surface roughness. Both the magnitude of the effective slip length and the slope of its rate-dependence are significantly reduced in the presence of periodic surface roughness. We then numerically solve the Navier-Stokes equation for the flow over the rough surface using the rate-dependent intrinsic slip length as a local boundary condition. Continuum simulations reproduce the behavior of the effective slip length obtained from MD simulations at low shear rates. The slight discrepancy between MD and continuum results at high shear rates is explained by examination of the local velocity profiles and the pressure distribution along the wavy surface. We found that in the region where the curved boundary faces the mainstream flow, the local slip is suppressed due to the increase in pressure. The results of the comparative analysis can potentially lead to the development of an efficient algorithm for modeling rate-dependent slip flows over rough surfaces.

description: Text segmentation is an inherent part of an OCR system irrespective of the domain of application of it. The OCR system contains a segmentation module where the text lines, words and ultimately the characters must be segmented properly for its successful recognition. The present work implements a Hough transform based technique for line and word segmentation from digitized images. The proposed technique is applied not only on the document image dataset but also on dataset for business card reader system and license plate recognition system. For standardization of the performance of the system the technique is also applied on public domain dataset published in the website by CMATER, Jadavpur University. The document images consist of multi-script printed and hand written text lines with variety in script and line spacing in single document image. The technique performs quite satisfactorily when applied on mobile camera captured business card images with low resolution. The usefulness of the technique is verified by applying it in a commercial project for localization of license plate of vehicles from surveillance camera images by the process of segmentation itself. The accuracy of the technique for word segmentation, as verified experimentally, is 85.7% for document images, 94.6% for business card images and 88% for surveillance camera images.

description: The Bakken shale oil-producing region encompasses parts of North Dakota and Montana in the United States and Saskatchewan and Manitoba in Canada, with North Dakota accounting for 93 percent of the U.S. production (see Figure 1). The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that as of February 2015, the Bakken region was producing more than 1.3 million barrels of oil per day.

The expansion of Bakken oil production has increased large truck traffic—specifically large trucks carrying oil, water, sand, and other materials to support drilling operations and to transport the crude oil from the wells to the rail heads and

pipelines. The Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute estimates 2,300 total truck trips per well over the course of a well’s production life (see Table 2). North Dakota is routinely experiencing 75 truck trips per day on county roads in the oil patch and on some days more than 1,000 truck trips.

description: Crisis intervention services for people experiencing psychological distress and suicidal ideation are frequently described by the people accessing them as failing to meet their needs. This paper reports a prominent finding from a realist evaluation of Taranaki Retreat—a charitable, non-clinical organisation in New Zealand, which offers free respite for people experiencing acute distress. Using qualitative methods, the study aimed to move beyond vague notions regarding the helpfulness of respite, to a deeper understanding of the contextual factors and mechanisms which generate outcomes for such an intervention. Participant observation, focus groups with staff, semi-structured interviews with service users, and analysis of service users’ case notes were conducted over a six-month period in 2018. The most prominent finding from the study related to ‘genuine care’—care which is interpreted by the recipient as being motivated by a genuine desire to help. We present this finding as to the central mechanism in a wider programme theory developed through the realist evaluation study. We also present five key features of the care participants were offered at Taranaki Retreat which contributed to their common interpretation regarding the motivations behind this care. Upon considering the centrality of this mechanism we conclude that, in designing crisis interventions, greater consideration should be given to how the intervention can demonstrate genuine care. Having highlighted the ways in which the structure of charitable organisations appears conducive for interpretations of genuine care, we further conclude that the provision of comprehensive crisis intervention by charitable organisations should be further explored and supported.

Reactions in frozen solutions
Creators: name: Kiovsky, Thomas Elstun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In order to try to explain some of the rather surprising features of reactions in frozen solutions, four different systems are extensively studied. They are the reaction of methyl iodide with triethylamine to form the quaternary ammonium salt in frozen benzene, the base catalyzed decomposition of t-butyl-peroxy formate to carbon dioxide and t-butyl alcohol in frozen p-xylene, the reaction of ethylene chlorohydrin with hydroxide ion to form ethylene oxide in frozen aqueous solution and the mutarotation of glucose in ice. In addition, a demonstration experiment is presented in which iodide ion is oxidized to iodine by arsenic acid in frozen aqueous solution. Several new features of reactions in frozen solutions are reported; including a maximum in the rate - temperature dependence curve, rate enhancements as large as 1000 - fold over reaction in unfrozen solutions and shifts in the equilibrium position. Kinetic equations are developed which correlate all of the results and which also explain some of the observations of other investigators. These equations are based upon the assumptions that (1) when a solution containing reactive species is frozen all of the reactants as well as any other solutes present are rejected by the crystallizing solvent and are concentrated into regions which remain liquid and that (2) the reaction proceeds normally in these regions. The fundamental equation used for correlating the rate data for the second-order reactions studied is, [formula omitted] where Vn is the total volume of the liquid regions, mA is the total moles of reactant A present in the system at any time and Ah and Bh are the concentrations of the reactants A and B in the liquid regions. The ideas developed for the treatment of reactions in frozen solutions are extended to reactions in organic solids which have a melted phase present. This treatment accounts qualitatively for the observations made on mutarotation in solid glucose. The application of the method to the isomerization of 5-norbornene-2,3-endo-dicarboxylic/anhydride to the exo-isomer allows separation of concurrent reactions in the melt and in the solid.

description: To understand how suspected suicides are investigated in New Zealand we conducted a thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with coroners. Coroners identified the inquisitorial nature of the coronial system and coroners’ wide powers of jurisdiction as key strengths of the system. Important influences in key areas of coronial decision making in cases of suspected suicides included; the need for more evidence–especially to determine intent, and family factors, including therapeutic jurisprudence. Coroners identified lack of follow up and monitoring of recommendations, poorly resourced coronial training and the personal impact of suicides as challenges of working in the coronial system.

description: Abstract. Background: Periodically, a debate around suicide reporting becomes prominent in the media. At one point, the Chief Coroner of New Zealand made a public call to the media to open up discussions around suicide and its reporting. Following this action, a high-profile debate emerged in the media. Aims: Our aim was to identify the key players in this debate and examine their perspectives. Method: From a Factiva search of news items from high-circulation newspapers, we identified key stakeholders and documented their perspectives using a framing matrix. Results: Seven stakeholder groups were identified with coroners and health service providers dominant in the news. Framing around the issues varied. There was consensus among the majority of stakeholders supporting continued public health type coverage of the issue of suicide, but a number of differences in levels of support for the reporting individual suicides. Limitations: Although specific to New Zealand, the findings will be of interest to countries considering reporting restrictions. Conclusion: The debate around suicide and its reporting appears to have been obfuscated by the conflating of two different types of media reporting on suicide: news media coverage of suicide as a public health issue and the reporting of individual suicide cases.

description: We used the von Neumann entropy to study the single and many-particle on-site localizations of stationary states for an anisotropic Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain. With a constructed bounded sequence of on-site energies for single and many-particle systems we demonstrate that the von Neumann entropy approaches zero indicating strong on-site localizations for all states. On the contrary, random on-site energy sequence does not lead to strong on-site confinement of all states. Our numerical results indicate that the von Neumann entropy provides a new insight to analyze on-site localizations for these systems.

Feminist and queer theory

description: Feminist theory and queer theory remain largely at odds in contemporary discourses on sexuality. While certain feminisms rely on category affirming strategies in which difference is continually inscribed, queer theorists are exploring sites of transgression which are characterised by an indeterminacy of identity and a fluidity of sexual practices. This conceptual difference ensures that feminist and queer imperatives are perpetually locked in tension, with challenges and debates continually arising regarding "the proper object of analysis" for each discourse. This tension characterises the critical reception of Angela Carter's fiction. The transgressive fluidity and iconoclastic disrespect for boundaries, identities and political correctness that Carter's fiction flaunts has been awkwardly received by those Carter critics working within theoretical paradigms of boundary affirmation. Much of the existing Carter criticism displays appropriative strategies which preclude the analysis of her work in terms of transgressive potential. This dissertation takes up the transgressive potential of Carter's fiction, using a queer perspective to explore spectatorship practices, sexually explicit representations and normative identity construction. Carter's fiction provides a rich site for the exploration of a queer project of disarticulation, in which sexualities and identities resist the reiterative performances of themselves as themselves. A disruption of this perpetual chain of signification disrupts the citational histories which accord power and cultural validity to certain sexualities and not to others, and temporarily diffracts the means by which identities are regulated so easily by hegemonic structures. Through a detailed study of The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman, The Passion of New Eve, and Nights at the Circus, this dissertation proposes a destabilisation of the very ground on which debates over inclusion and exclusion are fought.

description: Despite experts’ contention that clinicians’ positive inclination is essential to successful treatment of patients at risk for suicide (PRS), research in the area is lacking. This study used grounded theory to develop a model of clinicians’ positive inclination based on interviews with 12 clinicians who “liked” working with PRS. The core process identified, a state of emotional synchrony through deep connection between clinicians and PRS, appeared to provide an intersubjective emotion regulation, associated with distress reduction in patients and deep satisfaction in clinicians. Findings suggest clinicians’ deep sense of satisfaction and PRS’ clinical improvement in treatment could be interdependent.

description: Most commercial vehicles on the road today use

low-voltage electrical systems (12/24 volts direct

current). The current Federal Motor Carrier Safety

Regulations (FMCSRs), North American Standard

(NAS) inspection procedures, and out-of-service

(OOS) criteria do not address the unique safety

aspects of high voltages (greater than 60 volts direct

current or greater than 30 volts alternating current)

when present on a commercial vehicle. The purpose

of this project was to identify suggested changes to

the current FMCSRs and inspection procedures to

address the unique safety requirements associated

with high-voltage vehicle systems and to improve

the overall safety of commercial vehicle operations.

A summary of the recommended changes to the

FMCSRs, NAS inspection procedures, and OOS

criteria can be found in Table 1.

description: Quantum-gravity renders the space-time dimension to depend on the size of region; it monotonically increases with the size of region and asymptotically approaches four for large distances. This effect was discovered in numerical simulations of lattice quantum gravity in the framework of causal dynamical triangulation [hep-th/0505113] as well as in renormalization group approach to quantum gravity [hep-th/0508202]. However, along these approaches the interpretation and the physical meaning of the effective change of dimension at shorter scales is not clear. Without invoking particular models in this essay we show that, box-counting dimension in face of finite resolution of space-time (generally implied by quantum gravity) shows a simple way how both the qualitative and the quantitative features of this effect can be understood. In this way we derive a simple analytic expression of space-time dimension running, which implies the modification of Newton's inverse square law in a perfect agreement with the modification coming from one-loop gravitational radiative corrections.

Nuclear magnetic resonance investigations of organosilicon compounds
Creators: name: Hunter, Brian K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of a number of organosilieon compounds are examined. The 7.95 Mcs. silicon-29 spectra are obtained for these compounds and the chemical shifts are considered in detail. It is proposed that the trends observed are the result of a competition between two opposing effects; a paramagnetic shift influenced by changes in the effective nuclear charge on silicon and a diamagnetic shift influenced by (p→d)π bonding. The concept of the competitive shift mechanism rationalizes the chemical shifts observed for series of the type MexSiX₄₋x (where: X = 0Me,0Et, 0Ac, Cl, F and C₆H₅) but does not explain the shifts of silicon hydrides. This concept also rationalizes the trends observed in ¹¹⁹Sn chemical shifts but, logically, does not apply to ¹³C chemical shifts where the d-orbital contribution must vanish. None of the observed coupling constants correlate with the ²⁹Si chemical shifts. Available theories are found to be inadequate to describe the coupling constants in these molecules. A new long range coupling is observed between the methyl groups on silicon attached to oxygen and chlorine with J[subscript]HCSiCH of about 0.35 c.p.s.

description: The rapid development of multimedia and internet allows for wide distribution of digital media data. It becomes much easier to edit, modify and duplicate digital information besides that, digital documents are also easy to copy and distribute, therefore it will be faced by many threats. It is a big security and privacy issue. Another problem with digital document and video is that undetectable modifications can be made with very simple and widely available equipment, which put the digital material for evidential purposes under question With the large flood of information and the development of the digital format, it become necessary to find appropriate protection because of the significance, accuracy and sensitivity of the information, therefore multimedia technology and popularity of internet communications they have great interest in using digital watermarks for the purpose of copy protection and content authentication. Digital watermarking is a technique used to embed a known piece of digital data within another piece of digital data .A digital data may represent a digital signature or digital watermark that is embedded in the host media. The signature or watermark is hidden such that it's perceptually and statistically undetectable. Then this signature or watermark can be extracted from the host media and used to identify the owner of the media.

description: From 2006 to 2013, pedestrian fatalities as a

percentage of total fatalities in all motor vehicle

crashes rose from 11.2 percent to 14.5 percent, and

bicyclist fatalities as a percentage of total fatalities

rose from 1.8 percent to 2.3 percent. Over this period,

pedestrians’ share of large truck crash fatalities grew

from 6.3 percent to 8.5 percent, and bicyclists’ share

of large truck fatalities grew from 1.6 percent to 2.0

percent. This brief presents information on pedestrian

and bicyclist fatalities in large truck crashes, using

data from the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration’s (NHTSA’s) Fatality Analysis

Reporting System (FARS).

In 2013, 338 pedestrians and 78 bicyclists were killed

in crashes involving large trucks, accounting for 8.5

percent and 2.0 percent of the 3,964 total large truck

crash fatalities, respectively (see Figure 1). Of those

fatalities, 312 pedestrians (92 percent) and 76

bicyclists (97 percent) were struck and killed by large

trucks, with the remainder struck and killed by other

vehicle types involved in the crashes. Large trucks

represented 6.6 percent of the vehicles that struck and

killed pedestrians and 10.3 percent of the vehicles that

struck and killed bicyclists.

description: Südame isheemiatõbi on komplekshaigus, mille avaldumises on roll keskkonnal, eluviisil, pärilikkusel ja nende koosmõjudel. Haiguse tekkeriski võimalikult varajane ja täpne hindamine on ennetava ravi määramise nurgakiviks. Kasutusel olevates riskiskoorides ei ole võetud arvesse pärilikkust, kuigi selle osakaalu südame isheemiatõve kujunemisel hinnatakse 40–60%-ni.Uute meetodite jõudmine geneetiliste uuringute paletti on toonud kaasa enam kui 50 südame isheemiatõve avaldumise riskiga soetud geneetilise markeri tuvastamise. Leitud markerite kombineerimine võimaldab koostada polügeense riskiskoori, mis aitab seni klassikalistel riskiteguritel põhinenud riski hindamist ja ravi määramist oluliselt täpsemaks muuta. On ootuspärane, et lähitulevikus kuulub südame isheemiatõve tervikliku käsitluse hulka lisaks klassikalistele riskiteguritele ka geneetiliste markerite hindamine.Eesti Arst 2015; 94(9):522–529

description: Pseudomonas aeruginosa on patogeen, mis tõmbab tähelepanu eelkõige oma võimega muutuda antibiootikumide suhtes resistentseks. See protsess on aastakümneid olnud kiirem meie võimest vastata uute antibiootikumidega. Ülevaateartiklis on keskendutud pärast põgusat infektsioonitüüpide ja Eesti resistentsusmäärade tutvustamist resistentsusmehhanismidele, nende olulisuse selgitamisele ning seejärel P. aeruginosa infektsioonide raviviisidele. Osa raviviise on jõudnud kliinilisse praktikasse või on vajaduse korral kohe rakendatavad (diagnostika, ravimite annustamise ja kombineerimise vallas, mittefarmakoloogiline ravi).

description: We study the zero modes of the Abelian Dirac operator in any odd dimension. We use the stereographic projection between a $(2n-1)$ dimensional space and a $(2n-1)$ sphere embedded in a $2n$ dimensional space. It is shown that the Dirac operator with a gauge field of uniform field strengths in $S^{2n-1}$ has symmetries of SU($n$)$\times$U(1) which is a subgroup of SO($2n$). Using group representation theory, we obtain the number of fermion zero modes, as well as their explicit forms, in a simple way.
