"La finzione è la sola verità dell'arte". Le logiche dell'inganno in arte e in filosofia
Creators: name: GATTI, ANDREA
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2014
Subjects: Philosophy; Aesthetics; Fiction; Art; Taste

description: Art and philosophy apparently reign over two distinct dominions: fiction and truth. Nonetheless, in the historiography of ideas ‒ from Shaftesbury to Vico, from Heidegger to Gadamer ‒ the two disciplines have often been paired as capable of unveiling the reality of things. This study aims at showing the relationship between art and philosophy on the subject of deception, questioning whether art, an evident deception, canshed some light on philosophical truths as much as philosophy can reveal the hidden deceptions of art, regarding its forms, contents and ontological status.

Subjects: Contemporary Philosophy; Logic; Self-Deception; Truth; Donald Davidson;

description: Self-deception is both a common phenomenon of everyday life and a topic of great interest for philosophers since the time of Socrates. A self-deceiver seems in fact to behave irrationally if compared to someone striving to know oneself and capable of producing the right reasons for his actions. But how can we properly speak of the "rightness" of reasons and how can we characterize irrationality? I will here present Davidson's reflections on this issue.

Mitigating the Effects of Transport Infrastructure Development on Ecosystems
Creators: name: Ghent, Carleigh
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: Transport infrastructure is one of the most important ways to help a country drive economic growth and alleviate poverty, but it can also have devastating effects on the surrounding ecosystems and wildlife. Habitat fragmentation and degradation, vehicle-wildlife collisions, population and genetic isolation, and loss of ecosystem services are just some of the effects roads can have on ecosystems and wildlife. This synthesis paper seeks to explore these effects and look at different ways to mitigate them to help restore ecosystems and the services they provide. Some ways to mitigate these effects include green infrastructure, corridors, and wildlife crossings. Green infrastructure provides more natural or semi-natural space for various ecosystem services, wildlife, and humans. Corridors connect the natural spaces created by green infrastructure and protected areas and allow movement of wildlife between these areas. Wildlife crossings can be overpasses or underpasses that lessen the barrier effects of transport infrastructure. Collaboration between multiple sectors, including governments, policy makers, transport infrastructure planners, ecologists, and geographers, is needed to create successful and both sustainable transportation networks and green infrastructure that support ecosystem services and functions.

Discourses of the Alberta Oil Sands: What Key Stakeholders Really Think About Sustainability
Creators: name: Sutton, Matt
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: In an attempt to determine the key challenges and opportunities of creating a dialogue about sustainability in regards to the Alberta oil sands, 13 professionals from four key stakeholder groups (industry, government, media and NGO) were asked the same set of seven questions about their conceptualization of sustainability. Key findings included the following: (1) Vague language pervaded many of the discussions including references to ‘responsible development,’ ‘corporate social responsibility,’ or ‘triple bottom line.’ (2) The sample illustrated a continuum of positions regarding both the notion of sustainability writ large and within the context of the oil sands specifically. (3) The largest concentration of discussion about sustainability surrounded practices and values, with goals and indicators figuring much less prominently. This paper provides useful insight to both the areas where stakeholders are still struggling to agree upon and those places where there is in fact some overlap. Areas for future research include exploration into one more key stakeholder: the indigenous voice.

description: The sensitivity of perturbation sensing can be effectively enhanced with higher-order exceptional points due to the nonlinear response to frequency splitting. However, the experimental implementation is challenging since all the parameters need to be precisely prepared. The emergence of exceptional surface (ES) improves the robustness of the system to the external environment, while maintaining the same sensitivity. Here, we propose the first scalable protocol for realizing photonic high-order exceptional surface with passive resonators. By adding one or more additional passive resonators in the low-order ES photonic system, the 3- or arbitrary N-order ES is constructed and proved to be easily realized in experiment. We show that the sensitivity is enhanced and experimental demonstration is more resilent against the fabrication errors. The additional phase-modulation effect is also investigated.

Land Grab and Institutional Legacy of Colonialism: The Case of Sudan
Creators: name: Zambakari, Dr. Christopher
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: Over last decade Africa has experienced an unprecedented amounts of land being concessioned, leased or sold to business, corporations or foreign sovereign capital. The land question (who can acquire or have access to land) and the political question (who belongs in the political community) are connected to the citizenship question. These questions are among the most politicized in Africa. This article answers the following questions: Who benefits from the ‘land grabs’? And what can a critical analysis of the ‘land grabs’ tell us about the contemporary politics of development? The first section of this article discusses and provides the intellectual background that informs today’s land rush. The second section discusses the competing actors involved in the land grab, winners and victims. I argue that the majority of victims of land dispossession in the African context are peasants, pastoralists, nomadic, and trans-boundary communities, whose land management system is based on customary land tenure.

"Cupido di vedere l'opra che parea e non era"
Creators: name: VARESE, RANIERI
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2014
Subjects: Art History; Theory of Art; Deception; Iconography; History of Ideas

description: The paper argues that the theme of “deception” in Western Art History cannot be thought of as simply a technical trick, such as the use of trompe-l’oeil or the “fly test” or the “curtains test”. Nor it cannot be reduced to the use of mirrors as symbol of deception (as argued by Ripa); or to the ideological conception that assumes different degrees of knowledge available to those who have been “induced”. Rather, “deception” should be thought as an exercise of virtue and declaration of belonging, as testified by the race between Zeusi and Parrasio. As argued by several authors such as Pigler, Chastel, and Arasse, the presence in many paintings of the fly or the curtain cannot be explained within the iconographic context. It is instead an attempt to make a general statement which exists outside the painting and conveys fine identity of the work’s author.

Bringing Earthbags to the People – A New, Democratic Approach to Sustainable Building
Creators: name: Zemskova, Kateryna
name: Belofsky, Nathan
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: Earthbag technology builds safe, appealing, and cost-effective structures out of ordinary soil. Stronger, cheaper, and less harmful to the environment than conventional building techniques like brick and cement, Earthbag technology is generally considered the most promising of sustainable building techniques. But despite widespread support among environmental groups and eco-builders, this method is shunned by governments and remains virtually unknown to everyday building professionals and the public. This paradigm, however, is changing in Nepal, where a catastrophic 2015 earthquake flattened much of the housing stock. Good Earth Nepal, a non-profit organization, has pioneered a three-pronged approach designed to overcome resistance to sustainable building and to, for the first time, make Earthbag technology accessible to the masses.

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: In this paper, we consider an inverse problem for three dimensional viscoelastic fluid flow equations, which arises from the motion of Kelvin-Voigt fluids in bounded domains (a hyperbolic type problem). This inverse problem aims to reconstruct the velocity and kernel of the memory term simultaneously, from the measurement described as the integral over determination condition. By using the contraction mapping principle in an appropriate space, a local in time existence and uniqueness result for the inverse problem of Kelvin-Voigt fluids are obtained. Furthermore, using similar arguments, a global in time existence and uniqueness results for an inverse problem of Oseen type equations are also achieved.

description: We study the statistics of the largest eigenvalue lambda_max of N x N random matrices with unit variance, but power-law distributed entries, P(M_{ij})~ |M_{ij}|^{-1-mu}. When mu > 4, lambda_max converges to 2 with Tracy-Widom fluctuations of order N^{-2/3}. When mu < 4, lambda_max is of order N^{2/mu-1/2} and is governed by Fréchet statistics. The marginal case mu=4 provides a new class of limiting distribution that we compute explicitely. We extend these results to sample covariance matrices, and show that extreme events may cause the largest eigenvalue to significantly exceed the Marcenko-Pastur edge. Connections with Directed Polymers are briefly discussed.

Building Trust and Collaborating with Others: Challenges For A Sustainable Peace in Caquetá, Colombia
Creators: name: Fontecha-Tirado, Maria M
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: In the Amazonian department of Caquetá (Colombia), considered a Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) stronghold, 300 families are currently challenged with implementing the peace agreement in their territory while also navigating the road to sustainable development. This process entails trusting others, collaborating, and making decisions about health and education services, environmental problems, economic issues, and even aspects of everyday life. The Paisajes Conectados program is focused on reducing deforestation and promoting sustainable development in two municipalities of Caquetá. Its mission is to build new skills and share knowledge within local communities in order to strengthen governance and participation. This paper presents the findings of a field practicum, developed with the objective of determining community perceptions of the Capacity Building and Governance Strategy implemented under the Paisajes Conectados program in the context of a transition from conflict to peace.

Investigating the Global and Local in Wangchuck Centennial National Park: A Case for the Bhutanese Conservation Actors In-Between
Creators: name: Steele, Anna Lee
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: Bhutan is world famous for its approach to both environmental conservation and development, despite being classified as “least developed” by the World Bank as recently as 2016. As Bhutan continues to develop, it has increasingly encountered the colloquially known, but statistically unproven phenomena: that development standards and conservation goals are often in conflict with the needs of rural communities. In the case of such ideological, cultural and economic clashes, this article argues for the necessity of “middle-actors” such as native Bhutanese civil servants, as they are able to navigate the cultural and economic zone “in-between” the international and the local in ways that others cannot.

Planning for Climate Resilient Barangays in the Philippines: The Case of Barangay Tumana in Marikina City, Metro Manila
Creators: name: Espina, Nicasio B
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: The Philippines is among the countries most threatened by climate change. This combined with other human and developmental factors compounds the challenge that barangays, the smallest political and administrative units in the country, face: to build and scale-up local resilience. This paper presents the case of Barangay Tumana in Marikina City, Philippines, the second most populated barangay in the city and the most devastated when Typhoon Ondoy (international name: Ketsana) hit the country in 2009. The study examines key hazards and elements of the communities in Barangay Tumana that contribute to its susceptibility to climate-related impacts, using the definition of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to frame the process of analysis. In particular, it characterizes the biophysical/environmental risks and socioeconomic/demographic vulnerabilities of the communities (exposure and sensitivity elements) in Barangay Tumana that can be addressed through planning in order to further community resilience and enhance long-term quality of life (Ensor, and Berger, 2009). These risks and vulnerabilities are established through various quantitative and qualitative methods of data gathering and analysis, including questionnaire surveys, key informant interviews, Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis, reviews of key local documents and related literature, and a multi-stakeholder validation and consultation. Policy options to build barangay resilience in the context of climate change are then recommended.

The demand for milk in British Columbia : estimation and implications
Creators: name: Kassam, Shinan N.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In this paper, we estimate dynamic versions of the Almost Ideal Demand System and the Linear Expenditure System in order to obtain an estimate of the demand elasticity for milk in British Columbia. This parameter has, to our knowledge, never been estimated for one province, but given the ongoning interest by the B.C. dairy industry in obtaining a larger allocation of Market Share Quota (MSQ), which is now allocated as a function of fluid milk consumption, it is timely to estimate the elasticity of demand for milk in British Columbia. Many have argued that the retail price of milk in B.C. is too high, especially when compared to prices in other western provinces, as well as the neighbouring State of Washington. The argument is that significant increases in consumption, and thereby increased allocation of MSQ could be achieved through decreases in prices. However, this depends upon the elasticity of demand which we herein estimate. Our estimate of the elasticity of demand for milk in British Columbia is -0.33, as estimated from the dynamic Almost Ideal System, and -0.40 from the dynamic Linear Expenditure System. We note that the dynamic Linear Expenditure System estimated in this study was statistically significant and met all theoretical restrictions, in particular quasi-concavity of the utility function at each observation point. We note, however, that this elasticity estimate may be interpreted as a short run estimate owing to our limited time frame for analysis. Clearly, with an elasticity estimate in the order of -0.40, "significant" increases in consumption cannot be achieved solely through decreases in prices. This paper, however, does more than simply relay elasticity estimates, for it also provides tips and techniques for estimating demand systems such as those estimated in this paper. These strategies are typically not found in textbooks or journal articles, and as such can be of great use to those estimating demand systems for the first time. In addition, this study makes use of a regional data source that has previously been unavailable to applied economists. Those who have attempted to estimate the demand for milk regionally have found that Statistics Canada does not publish regional consumption figures for most commodities. This is particularly true for the consumption of beverages in British Columbia. The data for this study were obtained privately and statistically represent bi-monthly sales of beverages in British Columbia. Thus, this paper is the first to estimate the demand for milk in British Columbia by using a demand systems approach employing data obtained from a private source (i.e. not Statistics Canada or other public sector organisations).

description: Dear readers, It is with great pleasure that I announce the publication of Issue XVI of Consilience: The Journal of Sustainable Development. In a time of great political turbulence, the importance of maintaining pluralistic debate increases and is further needed as an instrument of democracy and progress. With large-scale immigration escalated by war, conflict, and persecution, many countries will need to anticipate how to cope with fluctuating populations—not only in terms of the economic impact of such sudden migration but also the environmental consequences. The recent Brexit referendum introduces another element of uncertainty into both migration patterns in the European region and into the future of environmental quality controls and legislation in the UK. Given these recent events, the editing team atConsilience has curated a selection of papers for this issue that discuss sustainability in population-dense contexts that we hope will prove useful for future discourse. Our mission remains to promote dialogue and understanding of issues in sustainable development that affect not only individual communities, but the greater collective well-being of our planet. Our authors have worked diligently to provide innovative perspectives to perpetual challenges in sustainable development. We invite you to think critically about their arguments, further our understanding of their claims, and challenge their assumptions. Through interaction between practitioners, scholars, and researchers, we hope the ensuing dialogue will offer fruitful solutions to the most pressing challenges facing our planet. As always, we welcome constructive feedback and hope that our work inspires you to engage with the issues. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at contact@consiliencejournal.org. Regards, Nikita Sivakumaran Editor-in-Chief

Identifying Conservation Strategies for Group-Spawning Coral Reef Fish in the Indo-Pacific, Using a Case Study of a Protogynous Giant Wrasse
Creators: name: Booth, Laura
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: Fish reproducing in group-spawning aggregations face intense fisheries during spawning events due to increased ease of capture. Other traits often associated with group spawning, such as late sexual maturation and sequential hermaphroditism, cause group-spawning species to be especially vulnerable to population declines, either because fishermen target large, reproductively mature specimens or because they target juveniles that would otherwise have reached sexual maturity and contributed to reproduction. In group-spawning species that are protogynous hermaphrodites, including species of grouper, snapper, and the giant wrasse (Cheilinus undulates) fishing large specimens skews sex ratios towards females, thereby interfering with reproduction through sperm limitation. Unprecedented sex ratio skew could cause aggregations to disappear from their historical sites, with potential evolutionary implications. In this paper, I review the unique threats afflicting group-spawning species, as well as possible resolutions to these threats. I use the highly endangered humphead wrasse as a case study in the deleterious effects of overfishing on population dynamics, in the effectiveness of trade regulations and conservation strategies already in place, and in potential solutions not yet applied. Using the conclusions of this analysis, I extrapolate trends likely to continue in the Indo-Pacific region, where aggregation spawning is unfamiliar to fisheries scientists but familiar to local fishermen, and where aggregation-forming species are apt to benefit most from the implementation of effective conservation strategies.

description: A static string in an AdS Schwarzschild space is dual to a heavy quark anti-quark pair in a gauge theory at high temperature. This space is non confining in the sense that the energy is finite for infinite quark anti-quark separation. We introduce an infrared cut off in this space and calculate the corresponding string energy. We find a deconfining phase transition at a critical temperature T_C. Above T_C the string tension vanishes representing the deconfined phase. Below T_C we find a linear confining behavior for large quark anti-quark separation. This simple phenomenological model leads to the appropriate zero temperature limit, corresponding to the Cornell potential and also describes a thermal deconfining phase transition. However the temperature corrections to the string tension do not recover the expected results for low temperatures.
description: Revision: V.3: Text improved, typos corrected, results unchanged, references added. We included a comparision between the low temperature corrections to the string tension in our model and the expected results for QCD. V.4: In this version we emphasize that our model is not appropriate for low temperatures. One more reference added

description: We present techniques for the estimation of stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff,logg,[Fe/H]) for stars from the SDSS/SEGUE survey. The atmospheric parameters are derived from the observed medium-resolution (R=2000) stellar spectra using non-linear regression models trained either on (1) pre-classified observed data or (2) synthetic stellar spectra. In the first case we use our models to automate and generalize parametrization produced by a preliminary version of the SDSS/SEGUE Spectroscopic Parameter Pipeline (SSPP). In the second case we directly model the mapping between synthetic spectra (derived from Kurucz model atmospheres) and the atmospheric parameters, independently of any intermediate estimates. After training, we apply our models to various samples of SDSS spectra to derive atmospheric parameters, and compare our results with those obtained previously by the SSPP for the same samples. We obtain consistency between the two approaches, with RMS deviations of 150K in Teff, 0.35dex in logg, and 0.22dex in [Fe/H]. The models are applied to pre-processed spectra, either via Principal Components Analysis or a Wavelength Range Selection method, which employs a subset of the full 3850-9000A spectral range. This is both for computational reasons, and because it delivers higher accuracy. From an analysis of cluster candidates with available SDSS spectroscopy (M15, M13, M2, and NGC2420), we find evidence for small systematic offsets in Teff and/or logg for the atmospheric parameter estimates from the model trained on real data with the SSPP. Thus, this model turns out to derive more precise, but less accurate, atmospheric parameters than the model trained on synthetic data.

Carbon Accounting in Local-Scale Land Use and Land Cover Change
Creators: name: Goh, Jia Chen Judy
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: Complex land use and land cover change (LULCC) processes modify ecosystems’ ability to store and sequester carbon and regulate the climate, resulting in thermally uncomfortable climates and even more carbon emissions in an unchecked cycle. The value of potential loss of such climate ecosystem services remains understudied in urbanization planning and development. Using ecosystem modeling, this research quantifies potential changes of carbon storage and sequestration for a case of future LULCC in a tropical country by building an initial baseline carbon account of the existing forest. This study looked at a unique case of planned local-scale LULCC in Singapore where a secondary forest, Punggol Forest, is slated for conversion into a mixed-use residential neighborhood, Punggol Eco-Town. Carbon accounting is conducted to determine the carbon footprint of the LULCC, specifically for carbon storage and rate of carbon sequestration, using a sampled tree inventory with primary data collection. The results suggest that considerations of urban tree species selection in urban forestry are important in planning in order to reduce loss climate ecosystem services due to development. It is also a first step in using urban forestry tools for carbon accounting in decision-making for urban planning.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb photonic crystals with cylinders and connecting walls have the potential to have a large full band gap. In experiments, 2D photonic crystals do not have an infinite height, and therefore, we investigate the effects of the thickness of the walls, the height of the slabs and the type of the substrates on the photonic bands and gap maps of 2D honeycomb photonic crystal slabs. The band structures are calculated by the plane wave expansion method and the supercell approach. We find that the slab thickness is a key parameter affecting the band gap size while on the other hand the wall thickness hardly affact the gap size. For symmetric photonic crystal slabs with lower dielectric claddings, the height of the slabs needs to be sufficiently large to maintain a band gap. For asymmetric claddings, the projected band diagrams are similar to that of symmetric slabs as long as the dielectric constants of the claddings do not differ greatly.

description: We examine the feasibility of the Bell test (i.e., detecting a violation of the Bell inequality) with the ATLAS detector in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN through the flavor entanglement between the B mesons. After addressing the possible issues that arise associated with the experiment and how they may be treated based on an analogy with conventional Bell tests, we show in our simulation study that under realistic conditions (expected from the LHC Run 3 operation) the Bell test is feasible under mild assumptions. The definitive factor for this promising result lies primarily in the fact that the ATLAS detector is capable of measuring the decay times of the B mesons independently, which was not available in the previous experiment with the Belle detector at KEK. This result suggests the possibility of the Bell test in much higher energy domains and may open up a new arena for experimental studies of quantum foundations.

description: Global climate change is predicted to bring longer dry seasons and changing rainfall patterns to equatorial Africa, causing range reductions for species such as elephants, whose diets are constrained by water availability. Elephants are facultative grazers whose diets are seasonal, with woody proportion of diet increasing in the dry season. In this study, we sought to identify the factors that predict woody percentage of elephant diet along a rainfall gradient at the Mpala Research Centre in central Kenya. We used elephant dung as a means to analyze the woody content of elephant diet. We found that grass biomass and distance to the nearest river explained the most variability in elephant diet, while latitude was a less influential predictor. Because these local factors were more important determinants of elephant diet differences than rainfall along a gradient, we conclude that climate change will likely affect elephant populations through elongated dry seasons, which may limit availability of nearby water sources.

description: The periodic microphases that self-assemble in systems with competing short-range attractive and long-range repulsive interactions are structurally both rich and elegant. Significant theoretical and computational efforts have thus been dedicated to untangling their properties. By contrast, disordered microphases, which are structurally just as rich but nowhere near as elegant, have not been as carefully considered. Part of the difficulty is that simple mean-field descriptions make a homogeneity assumption that washes away all of their structural features. Here, we study disordered microphases by exactly solving a SALR model on the Bethe lattice. By sidestepping the homogenization assumption, this treatment recapitulates many of the key structural regimes of disordered microphases, including particle and void cluster fluids as well as gelation. This analysis also provides physical insight into the relationship between various structural and thermal observables, between criticality and physical percolation, as well as between glassiness and microphase ordering.

description: Dynamics with a threshold input--output relation commonly exist in gene, signal-transduction, and neural networks. Coupled dynamical systems of such threshold elements are investigated, in an effort to find differentiation of elements induced by the interaction. Through global diffusive coupling, novel states are found to be generated that are not the original attractor of single-element threshold dynamics, but are sustained through the interaction with the elements located at the original attractor. This stabilization of the novel state(s) is not related to symmetry breaking, but is explained as the truncation of transient trajectories to the original attractor due to the coupling. Single-element dynamics with winding transient trajectories located at a low-dimensional manifold and having turning points are shown to be essential to the generation of such novel state(s) in a coupled system. Universality of this mechanism for the novel state generation and its relevance to biological cell differentiation are briefly discussed.

description: The Simons Observatory (SO) will be a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment with three small-aperture telescopes and one large-aperture telescope, which will observe from the Atacama Desert in Chile. In total, SO will field over 60,000 transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers in six spectral bands centered between 27 and 280 GHz in order to achieve the sensitivity necessary to measure or constrain numerous cosmological quantities, as outlined in The Simons Observatory Collaboration et al. (2019). The 6~m Large Aperture Telescope (LAT), which will target the smaller angular scales of the CMB, utilizes a cryogenic receiver (LATR) designed to house up to 13 individual optics tubes. Each optics tube is comprised of three silicon lenses, IR blocking filters, and three dual-polarization, dichroic TES detector wafers. The scientific objectives of the SO project require these optics tubes to achieve high-throughput optical performance while maintaining exquisite control of systematic effects. We describe the integration and testing program for the SO LATR optics tubes that will verify the design and assembly of the optics tubes before they are shipped to the SO site and installed in the LATR cryostat. The program includes a quick turn-around test cryostat that is used to cool single optics tubes and validate the cryogenic performance and detector readout assembly. We discuss the optical design specifications the optics tubes must meet to be deployed on sky and the suite of optical test equipment that is prepared to measure these requirements.

description: We present XMM-Newton observations of the O supergiant Zeta Orionis (O9.7 Ib). The spectra are rich in emission lines over a wide range of ionization stages. The RGS-spectra show for the first time lines of low ion stages such as C VI, N VI, N VII, and O VII. The line profiles are symmetric and rather broad (FWHM approximately 1500 km/s) and show only a slight blue shift. With the XMM-epic spectrometer several high ions are detected in this star for the first time including Ar XVII and S XV. Simultaneous multi-temperature fits and DEM-modeling were applied to the RGS and EPIC spectra to obtain emission measures, elemental abundances and plasma temperatures. The calculations show temperatures in the range of about 0.07-0.6 keV. According to the derived models the intrinsic source X-ray luminosity at a distance of 251 pc Lx=1.37(.03) times 10^{32} ergs/s, in the energy range 0.3-10 keV. In the best multi-temperature model fit, the abundances of C, N, O, and Fe are near their solar values, while the abundances of Ne, Mg, and Si appear somewhat enhanced. The sensitivity of the He-like forbidden and intercombination lines to Zeta Ori's strong radiation field is used to derive the radial distances at which lines are formed. Values of 34 R-star for N VI, 12.5 R-star for O VII, 4.8 R-star for Ne IX, and 3.9 R-star for Mg XI are obtained.

description: Any etale Lie groupoid G is completely determined by its associated convolution algebra C_c(G) equipped with the natural Hopf algebroid structure. We extend this result to the generalized morphisms between etale Lie groupoids: we show that any principal H-bundle P over G is uniquely determined by the associated C_c(G)-C_c(H)-bimodule C_c(P) equipped with the natural coalgebra structure. Furthermore, we prove that the functor C_c gives an equivalence between the Morita category of etale Lie groupoids and the Morita category of locally grouplike Hopf algebroids.

Hanbury Brown-Twiss Interferometry for Fractional and Integer Mott Phases

description: Hanbury-Brown-Twiss interferometry (HBTI) is used to study integer and fractionally filled Mott Insulator (MI) phases in period-2 optical superlattices. In contrast to the quasimomentum distribution, this second order interferometry pattern exhibits high contrast fringes in the it insulating phases. Our detailed study of HBTI suggests that this interference pattern signals the various superfluid-insulator transitions and therefore can be used as a practical method to determine the phase diagram of the system. We find that in the presence of a confining potential the insulating phases become robust as they exist for a finite range of atom numbers. Furthermore, we show that in the trapped case the HBTI interferogram signals the formation of the MI domains and probes the shell structure of the system.
