The war of laws in the Soviet Union: Politics as competing sovereignty claims

description: When Mikhail Gorbachev initiated perestroika, few anticipated the depth and scope of reform, nor the consequences, intended and especially unintended, that would result. When Gorbachev opened for revision the rules of communist rule, he initiated a dynamic process of political transformation that would ultimately lead to the demise of the Soviet Union. Once the authoritative restrictions on political participation were loosened, political actors emerged in the republics and within the Soviet elite who challenged communist power. The War of Laws was a manifestation of that challenge and was focused on the legal issue of sovereignty, that is, who ruled whom? The War of Laws was two dimensional: between the republics, especially the Baltics, and central Soviet law making authorities; and among the factions that emerged within Soviet legislative and executive institutions. Although there was much violence in the last years of the USSR, the War of Laws was largely non-violent, yet as a conflict over power and political control, it was a determining factor in the collapse of the Soviet Union. The demise of the Soviet Union presents a tremendous challenge to scholars. How can we understand and explain the dissolution of what was believed to be one of the most stable political regimes in modern times? Although the sovietology literature provides rich descriptions of the salient features of Soviet politics, it fails to provide an adequate explanatory framework because it does not address what is known as the "agent-structure problem." Do people act as purposeful agents, making their own history, or do social structures determine history? I develop a constructivist theory of politics which answers the agent-structure question by proposing that agents and social structures are co-constituted in a process whereby social structures are continually produced, reproduced, and transformed by human actions and human action is continually constrained and enabled by social structures. I suggest that the War of Laws was an explicit manifestation of this process as participants sought to transform the political structures of the Soviet regime in a dynamic competition over sovereignty.
title: Reproductive Strategies in the European Blackbird, Turdus merula
Creators: name: Creighton, Emma
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: In this thesis I explore the reproductive strategies of European blackbirds, Turdus merula in Oxford Botanic Garden using detailed observation of marked individuals and tests of genetic paternity. In Chapter Two I establish that the population's breeding ecology is comparable to other studies on the species and identify the importance of nesting cover in both territorial distribution and nesting success. In Chapters Three, Four and Five I demonstrate that both males and females pursue mixed reproductive strategies and engage in extra-pair copulations. Female tactics are covert and, backed up by a review of the literature, I suggest that they are constrained by the costs of attracting sexual harassment from males. I find that males employ counter-strategies of mate guarding and territorial defense and that their tactics vary according to social circumstances. In contrast, I find that females do not use counter-strategies of either close association or repeated copulation, and review of the literature suggests a reconsideration of female mate guarding theory. In Chapter Six I link earlier research into European blackbird breeding ecology with observations from this study to show the influence that availability of dense vegetation for nesting cover has on mate acquisition and subsequent sexual strategies during the breeding season. In addition to the contributions to sexual selection theory described above, this thesis contributes to knowledge of the breeding biology of the European blackbird by adding explanations of the mate acquisition and sexual strategies that give rise to this biology.

description: Among over 200,000 Galactic Bulge variable stars in the public domain OGLE catalogue, we found over 15,000 red giant variables following two well defined period -- amplitude relations. The periods are in the range 10 < P < 100 days, and amplitudes in the range 0.005 < A < 0.13 mag in I-band. The variables cover a broad range of reddening corrected colours, 1 < (V-I)_0 < 5, and a fairly narrow range of extinction corrected apparent magnitudes, 10.5 < I_0 < 13 . A subset of variables (type A) has a rms scatter of only 0.44 mag. The average magnitudes for these stars are well correlated with the Galactic longitude, and vary from I_{k,0} = 11.82 for l = +8 deg to I_{k,0} = 12.07 for l = -5 deg, clearly indicating that they are located in the Galactic Bar. Most variables have several oscillation periods.

A measurement of the Higgs boson mass in the diphoton decay channel
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A measurement of the mass of the Higgs boson in the diphoton decay channel is presented. This analysis is based on 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data collected during the 2016 LHC running period, with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. A refined detector calibration and new analysis techniques have been used to improve the precision of this measurement. The Higgs boson mass is measured to be $m_\mathrm{H} =$ 125.78 $\pm$ 0.26 GeV. This is combined with a measurement of $m_\mathrm{H}$ already performed in the H $\to$ ZZ $\to$ 4$\ell$ decay channel using the same data set, giving $m_\mathrm{H} =$ 125.46 $\pm$ 0.16 GeV. This result, when further combined with an earlier measurement of $m_\mathrm{H}$ using data collected in 2011 and 2012 with the CMS detector, gives a value for the Higgs boson mass of $m_\mathrm{H} =$ 125.38 $\pm$ 0.14 GeV. This is currently the most precise measurement of the mass of the Higgs boson.

description: It may be possible to construct a laser interferometer gravitational wave antenna in space with $h_{rms}\sim 10^{-23}$ at $ f\sim 0.1{\rm Hz}$ in $\sim 2020$. This deci hertz antenna may be called DECIGO/BBO,which stand for DECi hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory and Big Bang Observer, respectively. The analysis of 1-10 years observational data of the coalescing binary neutron stars or black holes at the distance of $\sim$ 300Mpc will give us the spatial position within $\sim$ an arc minute and the time of the coalescence within $\sim 0.1$ sec beforehand. With the knowledge of the accurate position and the time of final merging event, the follow up simultaneous observation using high frequency ($ f\sim 100{\rm Hz}$) gravitational wave antennae as well as electro-magnetic wave antennae from the radio frequency to the ultra high energy gamma ray will reveal the physics in the enigmatic event of the coalescence and the formation of the black hole.

description: There is a correspondence between integrable lattice models of statistical mechanics and discrete integrable equations which satisfy multidimensional consistency, where the latter may be found in a quasi-classical expansion of the former. This paper extends this correspondence to interaction-round-a-face (IRF) models, resulting in a new formulation of the consistency-around-a-cube (CAC) integrability condition applicable to five-point equations in the square lattice. Multidimensional consistency for these equations is formulated as consistency-around-a-face-centered-cube (CAFCC), which namely involves satisfying an overdetermined system of fourteen five-point lattice equations for eight unknown variables on the face-centered cubic unit cell. From the quasi-classical limit of IRF models, which are constructed from the continuous spin solutions of the star-triangle relations associated to the Adler-Bobenko-Suris (ABS) list, fifteen sets of equations are obtained which satisfy CAFCC.

description: The evolution of a turbulent tangle of quantum vortices in presence of finite-size active particles is studied by means of numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Particles are modeled as potentials depleting the superfluid and described with classical degrees of freedom following a Newtonian dynamics. It is shown that particles do not modify the building-up and the decay of the superfluid Kolmogorov turbulent regime. It is observed that almost the totality of particles remains trapped inside quantum vortices, although they are occasionally detached and recaptured. The statistics of this process are presented and discussed. The particle Lagrangian dynamics is also studied. At large time scales, the velocity spectrum of particles is reminiscent of a classical Lagrangian turbulent behavior. At time-scales faster than the turnover time associated to the mean inter-vortex distance, the particle motion is dominated by oscillations due to Magnus effect. For light particles a non-classical scaling of the spectrum arises. The particle velocity and acceleration probability distribution functions are then studied. The decorrelation time of the particle acceleration is found to be shorter than in classical fluids, and related to the Magnus force experienced by the trapped particles.

description: We introduce a weighted propositional configuration logic over a product valuation monoid. Our logic is intended to serve as a specification language for software architectures with quantitative features such as the average of all interactions' costs of the architecture and the maximum cost among all costs occurring most frequently within a specific number of components in an architecture. We provide formulas of our logic which describe well-known architectures equipped with quantitative characteristics. Moreover, we prove an efficient construction of a full normal form which leads to decidability of equivalence of formulas in this logic.

Being there: United States media access during the Gulf War
Creators: name: Baroody, Judith Raine
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This research analyzed the formulation and implementation of Department of Defense policy on media access during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm of 1990-91. The study drew on theory related to the role of the press in society, influence of the media, and in-group/out-group relations. Data was generated by in-depth interviews of journalists and Department of Defense officials involved in public affairs aspects of the war, in addition to analysis of primary source documents. It offers a detailed case history of military-media negotiations about Gulf War press policy. The study found that military and media groups differed in the way each framed its vision of the role of the press, with the result that the two groups had separate notions of the boundaries of appropriate practices for journalists during war. All respondents expressed the idea that a war correspondent's task is to communicate activities of the U.S. military to the American people, but beyond that, there was wide variation in how they saw the press' role. While media respondents emphasized their roles as watchdogs or chroniclers of history, military respondents noted the media's function as "force multipliers" to boost morale or confound the enemy. Reporters saw their jobs as interpreters of events, while some military respondents believed reporters should give facts without interpretation. The interviews suggest that the two groups hold different views of the function of the press. The media view requiring maximum disclosure of information corresponds to a social responsibility model, while the military view limiting power of the individual for the sake of the whole corresponds to an authoritarian model. The findings demonstrate that separate groups in one society can act in accordance with two different models of the press simultaneously. This failure to achieve a single vision of the press, added to advances in news-gathering technology and an inconclusive legal tradition on the issue, indicate that U.S. government policy on press access requires refinement to avoid the need for repeated military-media negotiations when the nation is at war.

title: Medical Ideas In English Poetry To The End Of The Seventeenth Century
Creators: name: Riddington Young, John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: Conventional historical research by the study of prose medical texts (often in Latin) will provide an index of the depth of the professional knowledge available to the contemporary physician, but examination of lyrical and dramatic poetry provides a measure of the diffusion of this knowledge into the laity.

 Absolute certainty in Galenic humoral theory comes through in the verses of Chaucer and poets of the later mediaeval period: as poetry is traced through to the seventeenth century, however, scepticism grows and gives way to disbelief, culminating in the Comedy of Humours genre which actively ridicules it. A similar trend can be traced with respect to astrological medicine: the science of iatromathematica (astrological , medicine) was a cornerstone of mediaeval medicine. Seventeenth century astronomical discoveries mentioned in poetry intended for the educated layman underline the current uncertain status of astrology.

 The concept of moral retribution as a cause for disease was suggested in fifteenth and sixteenth century poetry. Even by the end of the seventeenth century, the abundant poetical references to syphilis and smallpox indicate that the literate layman was very slow to accept the germ theory advanced by Fracastorius in the mid 1.6th century. Although by the late 1600s, the concept of the circulation of blood had found its way into English poetry, the study of these verses give evidence of the initial chill response to Harvey's ideas in the years immediately after 1628.

 Certain medical topics are mentioned in the contemporary poetry and meanings can be drawn from this, both pragmatic and allegorical: poetry gives us a clear view of current ideas about the human body and in particular its important relationship to the rest of the universe.

description: We show how to parameterise solutions of the general relativistic vector constraint equation on Einstein manifolds by unconstrained potentials. We provide a similar construction for the trace-free part of tensors satisfying the linearised scalar constraint. Previous work of ours has provided similar different constructions for solutions of the linearized constraints in the case where the cosmological constant $Λ$ is zero. We use our new potentials to show that one can shield linearised gravitational fields using linearised gravitational fields without imposing the TT gauge (as done in previous work), for any value of $Λ\in \mathbb{R}$.

description: Asymptotic normalization coefficients (ANCs) for 8Li->7Li+n have been extracted from the neutron transfer reaction 13C(7Li,8Li)12C at 63 MeV. These are related to the ANCs in 8B->7Be+p using charge symmetry. We extract ANCs for 8B that are in very good agreement with those inferred from proton transfer and breakup experiments. We have also separated the contributions from the p_1/2 and p_3/2 components in the transfer. We find the astrophysical factor for the 7Be(p,gamma)8B reaction to be S_17(0)=17.6+/-1.7 eVb. This is the first time that the rate of a direct capture reaction of astrophysical interest has been determined through a measurement of the ANCs in the mirror system.

description: OBJECTIVE: To examine the historical development of the German and French health care systems and how their financing and expenditures might inform policy reform for the U.S. METHODS: Available OECD data on health status, health expenditures, and medical supply factors in France and Germany are presented as comparisons to the U.S. Structural characteristics of each countries systems were explored based on a literature review of historical context and financing of their healthcare systems. Indicators of health expenditures such as hospital utilization, physician remuneration and pharmaceutical costs were compared to the U.S. RESULTS: The German sickness funds model of insurance differs from the French reliance on national health insurance. The U.S. spends a much greater percentage of GDP, has much higher health expenditures per capita than its counterparts, and a lower proportion of U.S. residents have health insurance than France and Germany. The main drivers of health expenditures in the U.S. include administrative costs of operating the multi-payer system, lack of price regulation, privatized costs in medical education, and higher physician salaries and pharmaceutical costs.  DISCUSSION: The experience of national health insurance systems in Germany and France shows that expanding risk pools for health insurance can simplify systems, provide coordinated care, decrease health expenditures, and prohibit incentives to market to the most affluent privately insured patients.  To emulate the successful French and German systems there would need to be a major restructuring of the U.S. healthcare system perhaps creating not-for-profit, private entities within an existing public program, a model similar to the German sickness funds.

description: Farm labor supply of farm operators is important for the analysis of their off-farm labor supply. We use a unique data set which includes such information to demonstrate its importance. Other studies had to use implicit assumptions in order to proxy the marginal product of farm labor with observable farm attributes. We find that these assumptions are too strong. We do it by estimating the off-farm participation equation over different subsamples defined according to the level of farm work. We correct for selection by estimating an endogenous switching regression model of the off-farm participation decision, in which the selection criterion is farm participation. Selection is found to be significant for farm workers only. The qualitative conclusions are unaffected by controlling for selection.

The nonnegative nature of land price was modeled directly via a truncated logistic distribution. The truncation effect was significant in half of the regions.
Radiation-Induced Zero-Resistance State at Low Magnetic Fields and near Half Filling of the Lowest Landau Level

description: We theoretically predict the radiation-induced ``zero-resistance state'' near half filling of the lowest Landau level, which is caused by the photon-assisted transport in the presence of oscillating density of states due to composite fermion Landau levels, and is analogous to the radiation-induced ``zero-resistance state'' of electrons at low magnetic fields. Based on a non-perturbative theory, we show that the radiation field does not break the bound state of electrons and flux quanta, i.e. composite fermions. Our prediction is independent of the power and frequency of radiation field.

description: Josephson junctions based on three-dimensional topological insulators offer intriguing possibilities to realize unconventional $p$-wave pairing and Majorana modes. Here, we provide a detailed study of the effect of a uniform magnetization in the normal region: We show how the interplay between the spin-momentum locking of the topological insulator and an in-plane magnetization parallel to the direction of phase bias leads to an asymmetry of the Andreev spectrum with respect to transverse momenta. If sufficiently large, this asymmetry induces a transition from a regime of gapless, counterpropagating Majorana modes to a regime with unprotected modes that are unidirectional at small transverse momenta. Intriguingly, the magnetization-induced asymmetry of the Andreev spectrum also gives rise to a Josephson Hall effect, that is, the appearance of a transverse Josephson current. The amplitude and current phase relation of the Josephson Hall current are studied in detail. In particular, we show how magnetic control and gating of the normal region can enable sizable Josephson Hall currents compared to the longitudinal Josephson current. Finally, we also propose in-plane magnetic fields as an alternative to the magnetization in the normal region and discuss how the planar Josephson Hall effect could be observed in experiments.

description: We present efficient circuits that can be used for the phase space tomography of quantum states. The circuits evaluate individual values or selected averages of the Wigner, Kirkwood and Husimi distributions. These quantum gate arrays can be programmed by initializing appropriate computational states. The Husimi circuit relies on a subroutine that is also interesting in its own right: the efficient preparation of a coherent state, which is the ground state of the Harper Hamiltonian.

description: We consider the thermal Hall effect of fermionic matter coupled to emergent gauge fields in 2+1 dimensions. While the low-temperature thermal Hall conductivity of bulk topological phases can be connected to chiral edge states and a gravitational anomaly, there is no such interpretation at nonzero temperatures above 2+1 dimensional quantum critical points. In the limit of a large number of matter flavors, the leading contribution to the thermal Hall conductivity is that from the fermionic matter. The next-to-leading contribution is from the gauge fluctuations, and this has a sign which is opposite to that of the matter contribution. We illustrate this by computations on a Dirac Chern-Simons theory of the quantum phase transition in a square-lattice antiferromagnet involving the onset of semion topological order. We find similar results for a model of the pseudogap metal with Fermi pockets coupled to an emergent U(1) gauge field. We note connections to recent observations on the hole-doped cuprates: our theory captures the main trends, but the overall magnitude of the effect is smaller than that observed.

description: We demonstrate separability of conformally coupled scalar field equation in general (off-shell) Kerr-NUT-AdS spacetimes in all dimensions. The separability is intrinsically characterized by the existence of a complete set of mutually commuting conformal wave operators that can be constructed from a hidden symmetry of the principal Killing-Yano tensor. By token of conformal symmetry, the separability also works for any Weyl rescaled (off-shell) metrics. This is especially interesting in four dimensions where it guarantees separability of a conformally coupled scalar field in the general Plebanski-Demianski spacetime.

description: Working from a dataset of 118 billion messages running from the start of 2009 to the end of 2019, we identify and explore the relative daily use of over 150 languages on Twitter. We find that eight languages comprise 80% of all tweets, with English, Japanese, Spanish, and Portuguese being the most dominant. To quantify social spreading in each language over time, we compute the 'contagion ratio': The balance of retweets to organic messages. We find that for the most common languages on Twitter there is a growing tendency, though not universal, to retweet rather than share new content. By the end of 2019, the contagion ratios for half of the top 30 languages, including English and Spanish, had reached above 1 -- the naive contagion threshold. In 2019, the top 5 languages with the highest average daily ratios were, in order, Thai (7.3), Hindi, Tamil, Urdu, and Catalan, while the bottom 5 were Russian, Swedish, Esperanto, Cebuano, and Finnish (0.26). Further, we show that over time, the contagion ratios for most common languages are growing more strongly than those of rare languages.

Microcanonical fluctuations of the condensate in weakly interacting Bose gases

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We study fluctuations of the number of Bose condensed atoms in weakly interacting homogeneous and trapped gases. For a homogeneous system we apply the particle-number-conserving formulation of the Bogoliubov theory and calculate the condensate fluctuations within the canonical and the microcanonical ensembles. We demonstrate that, at least in the low-temperature regime, predictions of the particle-number-conserving and traditional, nonconserving theory are identical, and lead to the anomalous scaling of fluctuations. Furthermore, the microcanonical fluctuations differ from the canonical ones by a quantity which scales normally in the number of particles, thus predictions of both ensembles are equivalent in the thermodynamic limit. We observe a similar behavior for a weakly interacting gas in a harmonic trap. This is in contrast to the trapped, ideal gas, where microcanonical and canonical fluctuations are different in the thermodynamic limit.

description: We report on a measurement of phi-meson production in Au+Au collisions at a beam momentum of 11.7 A GeV/c by Experiment E917 at the AGS. The measurement covers the midrapidity region 1.2 < y < 1.6. Transverse-mass spectra and the rapidity distribution are presented as functions of centrality characterized by the number of participant projectile nucleons. The yield of phi's per participant projectile nucleon increases strongly in central collisions in a manner similar to that observed for kaons.
