description: We present an algebraic map (MAMA) for the dynamical and collisional evolution of a planetesimal swarm orbiting the main star of a tight binary system (TBS). The orbital evolution of each planetesimal is dictated by the secular perturbations of the secondary star and gas drag due to interactions with a protoplanetary disk. The gas disk is assumed eccentric with a constant precession rate. Gravitational interactions between the planetesimals are ignored. All bodies are assumed coplanar. A comparison with full N-body simulations shows that the map is of the order of 100 times faster, while preserving all the main characteristics of the full system. In a second part of the work, we apply MAMA to the γ-Cephei, searching for friendly scenarios that may explain the formation of the giant planet detected in this system. For low-mass protoplanetary disks, we find that a low-eccentricity static disk aligned with the binary yields impact velocities between planetesimals below the disruption threshold. All other scenarios appear hostile to planetary formation.

description: This article proposes an overidentifying restriction test for high-dimensional linear instrumental variable models. The novelty of the proposed test is that it allows the number of covariates and instruments to be larger than the sample size. The test is scale-invariant and robust to heteroscedastic errors. To construct the final test statistic, we first introduce a test based on the maximum norm of multiple parameters that could be high-dimensional. The theoretical power based on the maximum norm is higher than that in the modified Cragg-Donald test, the only existing test allowing for large-dimensional covariates. Second, following the principle of power enhancement, we introduce the power-enhanced test, with an asymptotically zero component used to enhance the power to detect some extreme alternatives with many locally invalid instruments. Finally, an empirical example of the trade and economic growth nexus demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed test.

description: Precision quantum Hall resistance (QHR) measurements were performed on large-area epitaxial graphene device at low magnetic fields (B = 2 T - 8 T) at temperature T = 1.5 K. Hall resistance was measured using Cryogenic Current Comparator resistance bridge with high biasing current Isd = 40 micro ampere. The results showed that at B = 8 T the relative deviation of Hall resistance from the expected quantized value h/2e2 is within experimental uncertainty of 3.5 parts in 108 and remained below 0.35 parts per million (ppm) down to B = 3 T.

description: We establish a bialgebra theory for differential algebras, called differential antisymmetric infinitesimal (ASI) bialgebras by generalizing the study of ASI bialgebras to the context of differential algebras, in which the derivations play an important role. They are characterized by double constructions of differential Frobenius algebras as well as matched pairs of differential algebras. Antisymmetric solutions of an analogue of associative Yang-Baxter equation in differential algebras provide differential ASI bialgebras, whereas in turn the notions of $\mathcal{O}$-operators of differential algebras and differential dendriform algebras are also introduced to produce the former. On the other hand, the notion of a coherent derivation on an ASI bialgebra is introduced as an equivalent structure of a differential ASI bialgebra. They include derivations on ASI bialgebras and the set of coherent derivations on an ASI bialgebra composes a Lie algebra which is the Lie algebra of the Lie group consisting of coherent automorphisms on this ASI bialgebra. Finally, we apply the study of differential ASI bialgebras to Poisson bialgebras, extending the construction of Poisson algebras from commutative differential algebras with two commuting derivations to the context of bialgebras, which is consistent with the well constructed theory of Poisson bialgebras. In particular, we construct Poisson bialgebras from differential Zinbiel algebras.

description: In this paper we consider three arithmetic families of isospectral non-isometric Riemannian orbifolds and in each case derive an upper bound for the size of the family which is polynomial as a function of the volume of the orbifolds.

The second and third families are those whose covering groups are the minimal covolume arithmetic subgroups and maximal arithmetic subgroups of PGL_2(R)^a x PGL_2(C)^b.

description: Multi-scale architectures and attention modules have shown effectiveness in many deep learning-based image de-raining methods. However, manually designing and integrating these two components into a neural network requires a bulk of labor and extensive expertise. In this article, a high-performance multi-scale attentive neural architecture search (MANAS) framework is technically developed for image deraining. The proposed method formulates a new multi-scale attention search space with multiple flexible modules that are favorite to the image de-raining task. Under the search space, multi-scale attentive cells are built, which are further used to construct a powerful image de-raining network. The internal multiscale attentive architecture of the de-raining network is searched automatically through a gradient-based search algorithm, which avoids the daunting procedure of the manual design to some extent. Moreover, in order to obtain a robust image de-raining model, a practical and effective multi-to-one training strategy is also presented to allow the de-raining network to get sufficient background information from multiple rainy images with the same background scene, and meanwhile, multiple loss functions including external loss, internal loss, architecture regularization loss, and model complexity loss are jointly optimized to achieve robust de-raining performance and controllable model complexity. Extensive experimental results on both synthetic and realistic rainy images, as well as the down-stream vision applications (i.e., objection detection and segmentation) consistently demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/lcai-gz/MANAS.

description: We present results from an experimental study of the equilibrium and non-equilibrium transport properties of vanadium oxide nanobeams near the metal-insulator transition (MIT). Application of a large electric field in the insulating phase across the nanobeams produces an abrupt MIT and the individual roles of thermal and non-thermal effects in driving the transition are studied. Transport measurements at temperatures ($T$) far below the critical temperature ($T_c$) of MIT, in several nanoscale vanadium oxide devices, show that both $T$ and electric field play distinctly separate, but critical roles in inducing the MIT. Specifically, at $T << T_c$ electric field dominates the MIT through an avalanche-type process, whereas thermal effects become progressively critical as $T$ approaches $T_c$.

description: Water quality in lakes can be understood through the lens of metabolism, the balance of primary production and respiration. The challenge of understanding lake metabolism at regional to continental scales is due in part to sparse data availability and a lack of knowledge regarding factors controlling processes at broad scales. To address issues with the scalability of contemporary lake metabolism models, we are leveraging Ecology Knowledge-guided Machine Learning (Eco-KGML). Within the Eco-KGML paradigm, the Modular Compositional Learning (MCL) framework enables the segmentation of a model into smaller modules that can be either process-based or machine learning. Different combinations of modules can be tested to create the most effective predictor of a target variable, which in the case of our metabolism model is water quality. MCL metabolism models can be trained on well-studied systems, then applied to lakes with sparse data. While our MCL metabolism model is still in early development, examples of MCL for simulating lake physics have shown better prediction skill than purely process-based or purely machine learning models. The integration of machine learning into ecological modeling is a novel concept that is made possible only by the ecological insights and unique data collected by the North Temperate Lakes Long-Term Ecological Research (NTL-LTER) program and the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON).

description: The first demonstration of narrowband spectral filtering of multimode light on a 3D integrated photonic chip using photonic lanterns and waveguide Bragg gratings is reported. The photonic lanterns with multi-notch waveguide Bragg gratings were fabricated using the femtosecond direct-write technique in boro-aluminosilicate glass (Corning, Eagle 2000). Transmission dips of up to 5 dB were measured in both photonic lanterns and reference single-mode waveguides with 10.4-mm-long gratings. The result demonstrates efficient and symmetrical performance of each of the gratings in the photonic lantern. Such devices will be beneficial to space-division multiplexed communication systems as well as for units for astronomical instrumentation for suppression of the atmospheric telluric emission from OH lines.

description: Heavy fermion systems represent a prototypical setting to study magnetic quantum phase transitions. A particular focus has been on the physics of Kondo destruction, which captures quantum criticality beyond the Landau framework of order-parameter fluctuations. In this context, we study the spin one-half Kondo-Heisenberg model on a honeycomb lattice at half filling. The problem is approached from the Kondo destroyed, antiferromagnetically ordered insulating phase. We describe the local moments in terms of a coarse grained quantum non-linear sigma model, and show that the skyrmion defects of the antiferromagnetic order parameter host a number of competing order parameters. In addition to the spin Peierls, charge and current density wave order parameters, we identify for the first time Kondo singlets as the competing orders of the antiferromagnetism. We show that the antiferromagnetism and various competing singlet orders can be related to each other via generalized chiral transformations of the underlying fermions. We also show that the conduction electrons acquire a Berry phase through their coupling to the hedgehog configurations of the Néel order, which cancels the Berry phase of the local moments. Our results demonstrate the competition between the Kondo-singlet formation and spin-Peierls order when the antiferromagnetic order is suppressed, thereby shedding new light on the global phase diagram of heavy fermion systems at zero temperature.

Rewriting Institutional Narratives to Make Amends:  The French National Railroads (SNCF)
Creators: name: Federman, Sarah
Publisher: name: Narrative and Conflict: Explorations in Theory and Practice
Year: 2016

description: In 1940, France, threatened with total annexation by Nazi Germany, signed an armistice agreement with Germany that placed the French government in Vichy France and divided the country into an occupied and unoccupied zone. The Armistice also requisitioned the rolling stock of the SNCFâ€”French National Railwaysâ€”which became a significant arm in the German effort, transporting soldiers, goods, and over 75,000 deportees crammed into merchandise wagons toward Nazi extermination camps. Between 3,000-5,000 survived. Of the roughly 400,000 SNCF employees, Nazis murdered a couple of thousand for resistance or alleged in subordination. Railway men who resisted the Germans also often has to resist their employer as well. After the liberation of French at the end of WWII, the companyâ€”not simply the brave individuals -- received Franceâ€™s Medal of Honor for its alleged role in the ultimate defeat of the Germans. This medal, along with other postwar propaganda in the form of films and books, instilled a singular narrative about the companyâ€™s heroic wartime role. This narrative continued uninterrupted until the 1980s. Those who returned, along with the relatives of many who did not, increasingly challenge the companyâ€™s simplified wartime narrative. In the 1990s, lawsuits against the company began in France and continue through 2016 in the United States. In response, the SNCF made efforts to intertwine story of deportation with the company narrative of resistance. One key forum for this attempt was a colloquium held in 2000 at the AssemblÃ©e Nationale in Paris.

That colloquium is examined here through the lenses of three forms of narrative analysis: structural, functional, and post-structural. Each analytic frame illuminates different challenges to that colloquiumâ€™s attempts at revising history through altering a mystified institutional narrative. Through the analysis of this case, the author establishes the power of these analytic frameworks when examining problematic discursive spaces that hold in place master narratives and limit moral work.

description: Time-varying materials bring an extra degree of design freedom compared to their conventional time-invariant counterparts. However, few discussions have focused on the underlying physical difference between spatial and temporal boundaries. In this letter, we thoroughly investigate those differences from the perspective of conservation laws. By doing so, the building blocks of optics and electromagnetics such as the reflection law, Snell's law, and Fresnel's equations can be analogously derived in a temporal context, but with completely different interpretations. Furthermore, we study the unique features of temporal boundaries, such as their nonconformance to energy conservation and causality.

Faith, Politics, and the Parable of the Kosher Deli: Explorations of Narrative in a Congressional Hearing
Creators: name: Kraut, Joshua
Publisher: name: Narrative and Conflict: Explorations in Theory and Practice
Year: 2016

description: This paper takes a discourse analytic approach in exploring how a short narrative, delivered in the testimony of a panel-witness during a 2011 US congressional hearing investigating potential violations of religious liberty in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly known as â€œObamacareâ€), shapes and reflects the larger political conflict over the legislation.Â  Exploring the so-called â€œparable of the kosher deliâ€ from a structuralist, functionalist, and post-structuralist perspective reveals several key elements of how narratives can function in such a context.Â  The choice of genre not only facilitates communication via a culturally familiar structure, but also positions the communicator reflexively, and in strategic fashion.Â  This choice also provides an efficient means for glossing over the adversaryâ€™s most significant concerns: because parables are abstractions meant to reflect back on real situations, one can choose which elements to incorporate, and which to ignore about those situations in oneâ€™s interpretation.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Additionally, I observe how the parable is an effective means for positioning an opposing side (Davies and HarrÃ©, 1990), as the narrative takes aim at not only the government, positioned as an illegitimate disciplinarian, and an inappropriate judge, but also at advocates of the legislation generally, characterized as â€œoff-topicâ€ or else blind to the most important issue.Â  Finally, from a post-structuralist perspective, I note that the narrative, reflecting the general stance of the majority members of committee overseeing the hearing, construes the opposing side as a â€œgeneralized otherâ€ (Benhabib, 1992), ignoring the role of individual experience, needs, motivations, and desires in the attempt to make a case for broader exemptions to the proposed legislation.Â  Such a move short-circuited any possibility of â€œelaborationâ€ (Cobb, 2006) in which both sides might have worked toward a mutually agreeable narrative which contained both of the moral perspectives presented.Â Â

How to Construct a Common Narrative from among the Competing Accounts:        Narrative templates as cultural limiters to narrative transformations
Creators: name: Garagozov, Rauf
Publisher: name: Narrative and Conflict: Explorations in Theory and Practice
Year: 2015

description: Narrative approach to interethnic conflicts considers them as competing stories. In this con-nection, it is argued that for effective conflict resolution the competing narratives should un-dergo certain transformations that could bring them towards their convergence into a common one. Â However, discussions of narrative transformations to conflict resolution often fail to differentiate between surface narratives and underlying schematic narrative templates. In this regard schematic narrative templates which are deeply entrenched with patterns of collective memory and identity can serve as â€œcultural limiterâ€ which restrains the process of narrative transformations. Â This thesis is illustrated through the narrative analysis of the BBC Russian Service video report â€œKarabakh: Two Versions of the Storyâ€ (aired on 18th April, 2011). In the analysis of the BBC video report the author employs some procedures which are suggested by the model of â€œchronotopicâ€ method.

description: The rotational evolution of Mercury's mantle and its core under conservative and dissipative torques is important for understanding the planet's spin state. Dissipation results from tides and viscous, magnetic and topographic core--mantle interactions. The dissipative core--mantle torques take the system to an equilibrium state wherein both spins are fixed in the frame precessing with the orbit, and in which the mantle and core are differentially rotating. This equilibrium exhibits a mantle spin axis that is offset from the Cassini state by larger amounts for weaker core--mantle coupling for all three dissipative core--mantle coupling mechanisms, and the spin axis of the core is separated farther from that of the mantle, leading to larger differential rotation. The relatively strong core--mantle coupling necessary to bring the mantle spin axis to its observed position close to the Cassini state is not obtained by any of the three dissipative core--mantle coupling mechanisms. For a hydrostatic ellipsoidal core--mantle boundary, pressure coupling dominates the dissipative effects on the mantle and core positions, and dissipation together with pressure coupling brings the mantle spin solidly to the Cassini state. The core spin goes to a position displaced from that of the mantle by about 3.55 arcmin nearly in the plane containing the Cassini state. With the maximum viscosity considered of $ν\sim 15.0\,{\rm cm^2/s}$ if the coupling is by the circulation through an Ekman boundary layer or $ν\sim 8.75\times 10^5\,{\rm cm^2/s}$ for purely viscous coupling, the core spin lags the precessing Cassini plane by 23 arcsec, whereas the mantle spin lags by only 0.055 arcsec. Larger, non hydrostatic values of the CMB ellipticity also result in the mantle spin at the Cassini state, but the core spin is moved closer to the mantle spin.

Coherence Co-constructed: Using Coherence for Analysis and Transformation of Social Conflicts
Creators: name: Erol, Ali Ersen
Publisher: name: Narrative and Conflict: Explorations in Theory and Practice
Year: 2015

description: Narrative coherence is a much-debated subject, primarily because different approaches to coherence leave us with an either/or predicament. We can either pay attention to rather modernist approaches that attempt to map meaning structures in a given text to locate points of coherence; or, we can pay attention to critical approaches that suggest even seeking coherence results in confirming with dominant discourses and narratives in a given context. This article is an attempt in reconciliation between these two approaches to provide an alternative approach to the question: what makes texts cohere? Using a political rally ad Turkish Prime Minister used to counter the protests that took place in Turkey during the summer of 2013, the article demonstrates how coherence is constructed as a relationship between a text and an audience based on semiotic markers that refer to historical and ideological narratives.

description: This study aims at describing factors which can be Determinants of Mobile and Agent Banking Service Adoption: Evidence From selected commercial banks in Ethiopia. To achieve the objectives of the study and answer the research questions, the researcher used mixed research approach which encompasses both qualitative and quantitative research methods.

This descriptive study was conducted based on the data gathered from the following four banks in Ethiopia; Abay Bank, Wgagen Bank, Lion International Bank and Cooperative Bank of Oromia. The data collected was analyzed using exploratory statistics and regression analysis. A research framework developed based on the Technology - Organization - Environment (TOE) framework and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to guide the study.

The study revealed the following major driving factors in adopting agency banking among commercial banks in Ethiopia; Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) and Perceived Usefulness (PU) of the technology. The barriers identified in this study came from the external environments like; lack of legal framework, under developed ICT infrastructure including poor network connectivity, lack of competition among banks and lack of sufficient government support, and perceived risk (PR).
Gravity Induced Spontaneous Radiation

description: We suggest that behind the black hole information paradox is a new and universal radiation mechanism, Gravity Induced Spontaneous Radiation, or GISR hereafter. This mechanism happens to all kinds of compositional objects and it requires only their microscopic structure as the basis. It's always accompanied with such inner structures' variation and allows for explicitly hermitian hamiltonian description. For black holes, by Wigner-Wiesskopf approximation we show that such a radiation has a thermal spectrum exactly the same as hawking radiation; while through numeric integration, we show that the variation of the radiation particles' entropy exhibits all features of Page curve as expected. We also provide exact and analytic solutions to the Einstein equation describing microscopic structures required by the GISR of black holes and show that, after quantisation the degeneracy of wave functions corresponding with those solutions are consistent with the area law formula of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.

The Call to Terrorism and Other Weak Narratives: Identification As Disruptive Technique
Creators: name: Maan, Ajit
Publisher: name: Narrative and Conflict: Explorations in Theory and Practice
Year: 2015

description: This paper explores the relationship between narrative, identity, and violent action, and will offer techniques for disrupting the relationship between violence and identity. The argument proceeds by first demonstrating the non-universality of Western narrative structure and the relevance of that non-universality, then documenting the correlation between narrative and identity and between identity and action, and ends with a suggestion that a successful anti-terrorism strategy should encompass conflict rather than engage it.

description: We present results of a study to quantify the effects of dust on the derived photometric parameters of disk and bulges obtained from bulge-disk decomposition: scale-length, effective radius, Sersic index, disk axis-ratio, and bulge-to-disk ratio. The dust induced changes in these parameters were obtained by fitting simulated images of composite systems (containing a disk and a bulge) produced using radiative transfer calculations. The simulations were fitted with the GALFIT 3.0.2 data analysis algorithm. Fits were done with both a combination of an exponential plus a variable-index Sersic function as well as with a combination of two variable-index Sersic functions. We find that dust is biasing the derived exponential scale-length of decomposed disks towards smaller values than would be otherwise derived if the galaxy were to have no bulge. Similarly, the derived bulge-to-disk ratio is biased towards smaller values. However, the derived axis-ratio of the disk is not changed in the decomposition process. The derived effective radius of decomposed disks of systems having exponential bulges is found to be less affected by dust when fits are done with two variable-index Sersic functions. For the same type of fits dust is found to bias the value of the derived effective radius of decomposed disks towards lower values for systems having de Vaucouleurs bulges. All corrections derived in this paper are made available in electronic form.

description: We derive the low-temperature large-distance asymptotics of the transversal two-point functions of the XXZ chain by summing up the asymptotically dominant terms of their expansion into form factors of the quantum transfer matrix. Our asymptotic formulae are numerically efficient and match well with known results for vanishing magnetic field and for short distances and magnetic fields below the saturation field.

Narrative Conflict Coaching

description: Conflict coaching is a relatively new concept, derived from the domain of executive coaching. The concept has gained a foothold in the conflict resolution literature.Â  There have been references made to a narrative practice of conflict coaching but it has not been articulated as fully as it might be.Â  Here we seek to describe such a practice in relation to Foucaultâ€™s concept of the care of the self and Deleuzeâ€™s concept of the event.Â  We also outline Deleuzeâ€™s approach to the reading of time as chronos and aion and show how these different readings might be put to use.Â  A set of guidelines for narrative conflict coaching are proposed and transcribed conversation is provided as a case study to illustrate the process in action.Â  In this conversation, the conflict coach asks questions which lead the client through an exploration of the series of events that make up the conflict story, the externalizing and deconstructing of this conflict story, and the opening of a counter story as a basis for the clientâ€™s preferred future conduct in relation to the conflict.

description: A superbolide with an estimated absolute magnitude of -20+-1 was seen on July 13, 2012 over the center and south of Spain. This extraordinary event, which was witnessed by numerous casual observers, was recorded in the framework of the continuous fireball monitoring and meteor spectroscopy campaign performed by the SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN). Thus, because of optimal weather conditions, the bolide was imaged from ten meteor observing stations. Here we present the analysis of this magnificent event, which is the brightest fireball ever recorded by our team. The atmospheric trajectory of the bolide and the orbit in the Solar System of the parent meteoroid were obtained. The emission spectrum produced during the ablation of this particle is also discussed. We found that the meteoroid, which was following a Halley Type Comet orbit, was depleted in Na and had a tensile strength one order of magnitude higher than that corresponding to typical cometary materials. By means of orbital analysis tools we have investigated the likely parent body of this particle and the results suggest that the progenitor is a damocloid. The impact area of the hypothetical remnants of the meteoroid is also given and a search for meteorites was performed, but none were found.

description: The bright exciton emission of semiconducting carbon nanotubes is appealing for optoelectronic and quantum photonic devices as well as fundamental studies of light-matter interaction in one-dimensional nanostructures. The photophysics of excitons in carbon nanotubes till date is however largely affected by extrinsic effects of the dielectric environment. Here we carried out time-resolved photoluminescence measurements over 14 orders of magnitude for ultra-clean carbon nanotubes bridging an airgap over pillar posts. Our measurements demonstrate a new regime of intrinsic exciton photophysics with prolonged spontaneous emission times up to T1=18 ns, between one to two orders of magnitude better than prior measurements and in agreement with values first hypothesized by theorists about a decade ago. Further we establish for the first time the exciton decoherence times of individual nanotubes in the time-domain and found four-fold prolonged values up to T2=2.1 ps compared to ensemble measurements. These first observations motivate new discussions about the magnitude of the intrinsic dephasing mechanism while the prolonged exciton dynamics is promising for device applications.

Space, Place, & Symbol: Utilizing central places to understand intergroup conflict dynamics

Publisher: name: Narrative and Conflict: Explorations in Theory and Practice
Year: 2015

description: This article will present a new way of capturing highly dynamic intergroup differentiation processesÂ through applying a spatial perspective. Drawing from my experiences collected during several fieldÂ research visits to Bosnia aimed at assessing Post-Dayton intergroup relations, and inspired by the worksÂ of Doreen Massey, Michel De Certeau, and Rom HarrÃ©, I will suggest that one key to understandingÂ how groups interpret the behavior of other groups lies in the meaning groups ascribe to the place ofÂ their interaction. With the rules of a place limiting the range of actions social agents can chose from, anÂ understanding of â€™normalâ€™ behavior is established; which in the same second positions all other possible actsÂ as outside the local moral order. Thus making the right to interpret a central place a favorable position andÂ the interpretation of such a place into a strong positioning act influencing the terms of future interactions.Â Deciphering the dominant political meanings of central places on which intergroup interactions take placeÂ therefore becomes a promising way of understanding intergroup positioning processes. ApproximatingÂ to the meanings local groups ascribe to central places, however, is in need of a thorough interpretationalÂ framework; one possible framework, based on analyzing the symbols that are used in the interpretationalÂ acts themselves, will round up this spatial approach to understanding intergroup interactions.
