description: Along with multilateral agreements such as the WTO agreement, the EU evolved different trade agreements to induce European integration, perpetuate economic relations with former colonies and improve relations with developing, emerging and transitional countries by granting trade preferences. Common features of the EU preferential agreements are that they: cover general trade; allow a phasing-in period with a fast implementation in non-agricultural sectors (except for textiles); grant preferences for sensitive products of agri-food sectors (e.g. sugar, beef, bananas and dairy products) in terms of tariff-rate quotas (limited imports by reduced most-favoured nation rates); implement special safeguards, because the CAP is regarded as the ultimate objective; and, address more qualitative aspects such as common standards, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, property rights and institutional settings as well as the investment environment.

description: To every morphism $χ\colon L\to M$ of differential graded Lie algebras we associate a functors of artin rings $\Def_χ$ whose tangent and obstruction spaces are respectively the first and second cohomology group of the cylinder of $χ$. Such construction applies to Hilbert and Brill-Noether functors and allow to prove with ease that every higher obstruction to deforming a smooth submanifold of a Kaehler manifold is annihilated by the semiregularity map.

description: The ENARPRI partners agreed in February 2004 to prepare a precise specification for the scenarios that partners would attempt to model in their own national contexts, to examine the impacts of trade-related changes upon the multifunctionality of EU agriculture. This paper outlines a suite of five scenarios covering anticipated domestic (EU) policy under different possible outcomes from the Doha round, broadly based upon the status quo (with mid-term review), full decoupling of domestic support and full decoupling plus reductions in (decoupled) domestic support, with variants in relation to export subsidies and the scale of pillar 2 measures. In all cases it is recognised that national or sub-national models will require an additional level of national or regional specification before they can be run, and that each national team will be required to do this drawing upon their own domestic knowledge and discussion with relevant experts. Each of the models that will be used to undertake these analyses is then briefly reviewed to identify its general approach and the multifunctionality indicators that can be covered. These indicators are then set in the broader context that considers other potential indicators of multifunctionality and their rationales. The paper concludes with some additional commentary about the significant differences, and thus the difficulties, of attempting to undertake this exercise for any of the new member states.
Spin torque and persistent currents caused by percolation of topological surface states

description: The topological insulator/ferromagnetic metal (TI/FMM) bilayer thin films emerged as promising topological surface state-based spintronic devices, most notably in their efficiency of current-induced spin torque. Using a cubic lattice model, we reveal that the surface state Dirac cone of the TI can gradually merge into or be highly intertwined with the FMM bulk bands, and the surface states percolate into the FMM and eventually hybridize with the quantum well states therein. The magnetization can distort the spin-momentum locking of the surface states and yield an asymmetric band structure, which causes a laminar flow of room temperature persistent charge current. Moreover, the proximity to the FMM also promotes a persistent laminar spin current. Through a linear response theory, we elaborate that both the surface state and the FMM bulk bands contribute to the current-induced spin torque, and their real wave functions render the spin torque predominantly field-like, with a magnitude highly influenced by the degree of the percolation of the surface states. On the other hand, impurities can change the spin polarization expected from the Edelstein effect and generate a damping-like torque, and produce a torque even when the magnetization points in-plane and orthogonal to the current direction.

description: Recent increases in the number of multilateral and preferential trade agreements have sparked the development of applied models to quantify the impact of trade agreements. Outcomes generally support the theoretical notion that liberalising trade increases welfare. The increase in aggregate welfare is attained through a restructuring of the economy, with possible painful effects for certain economic sectors or parts of the population. The current debate on trade liberalisation focuses on the distribution of costs and benefits. Applied models can provide an understanding of the distribution of costs and benefits. Their outcomes, however, are determined by the way in which the economy and the liberalisation measures are modelled. The aim of this study is to compare different ways of quantifying the impact of the Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreements (EMAAs). Based on the assessment of key model features and analysed scenarios we assess to what extent existing studies address key policy issues related to the EMAAs and identify directions for future research.
Exploring the relations of emotional functioning to psychopathology and aggression among deliquent boys and girls

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Research on gender differences in the relation between emotional functioning and psychopathology is scarce, particularly with aggressive and antisocial adolescents. The purpose of the present study was to progress beyond what is already known about juvenile delinquents by delineating the relation of dimensions of emotional functioning (i.e., emotional intelligence and emotional states) to dimensions of psychopathology (i.e., internalizing problems and externalizing problems) and dimensions of aggression (aggression against persons, aggression against property), among delinquent boys and girls. Forty-four delinquent boys and 40 delinquent girls incarcerated in a youth correctional center participated in the study. All participants were individually administered measures designed to assess emotional intelligence, Positive and Negative Affect states, internalizing and externalizing psychopathology, and aggression. Results revealed that gender differences in the relation of emotional functioning to psychopathology and aggression are complex. Gender differences were found for internalizing problems, aggression, and negative affect, although not for externalizing problems. Overall, regression analyses revealed that emotional functioning (i.e., emotional intelligence and/or emotional states) was a significant predictor of psychopathology only, for both delinquent boys and girls, although gender differences emerged with regard to the dimension of psychopathology predicted. These results point to the importance of examining gender differences for uncovering potential pathways or vulnerabilities toward maladjustment, and alternatively, toward promoting healthy development.

description: We report on a 120 ks XMM-Newton observation of the galaxy cluster Abell 2597. Results from both the European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC) and the Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) are presented. From EPIC we obtain radial profiles of temperature, density and abundance, and use these to derive cooling time and entropy. We illustrate corrections to these profiles for projection and point spread function (PSF) effects. At the spatial resolution available to XMM-Newton, the temperature declines by around a factor of two in the central 150 kpc or so in radius, and the abundance increases from about one-fifth to over one-half solar. The cooling time is less than 10 Gyr inside a radius of 130 kpc. EPIC fits to the central region are consistent with a cooling flow of around 100 solar masses per year. Broad-band fits to the RGS spectra extracted from the central 2 arcmin are also consistent with a cooling flow of the same magnitude; with a preferred low-temperature cut-off of essentially zero. The data appear to suggest (albeit at low significance levels below formal detection limits) the presence of the important thermometer lines from Fe XVII at 15, 17 Angstrom rest wavelength, characteristic of gas at temperatures ~ 0.3 keV. The measured flux in each line is converted to a mass deposition estimate by comparison with a classical cooling flow model, and once again values at the level of 100 solar masses per year are obtained. These mass deposition rates, whilst lower than those of previous generations of X-ray observatories, are consistent with those obtained from UV data for this object. This raises the possibility of a classical cooling flow, at the level of around 100 solar masses per year, cooling from 4 keV by more than two orders of magnitude in temperature.

description: The WTO agricultural negotiations of the Doha round are a key issue in the public debate. This paper analyses the effects of different options to improve market-access on the basis of a GTAP model, comparing the impact of the Harbinson proposal and the Swiss formula on trade balances. An extended version of the GTAP model is used to first project a base run that includes factors arising from Agenda 2000, EU enlargement, the EBA agreement and the EU's mid-term review. The policy simulation run additionally includes the WTO negotiations. Here, the model is differentiated between three experiments. While the first experiment simply implements the Harbinson proposal, the second one additionally takes into account an adoption of the EBA agreement by all industrialised countries. In the third experiment, the tariff cuts are based on the Swiss formula using a coefficient of 33 instead of the tiered approach of the Harbinson proposal. After comparing the results of the three experiments, the paper concludes that the results from the different options for improving market access show parallel developments, with more- or less-pronounced increases or decreases in trade balances. Implementation of the Harbinson approach results in negative changes in the EU's trade balances for most agricultural products, except for the sugar, milk and other animal products sectors. The application of the Swiss formula to cut tariffs predictably results in severe losses to highly protected sectors worldwide in comparison to the Harbinson approach. In the EU, the highly protected sectors of beef and other processed food products would be particularly affected.

description: The EU is a major participant in the world sugar market, being one of the top producers, importers and exporters in the world. The reform of the EU sugar regime will affect not only the EU member states and candidates, but also countries that are associated with the EU through the preferential, regional and multilateral trade agreements. For several decades, the EU has supported and protected the EU sugar sector. Sugar from developing countries will not be able to enter the EU sugar market without preferential trade agreements. In the EU sugar regime, the unique features of the trade concessions are that sugar under preferential import quotas can enter the EU market duty-free and the price paid for sugar equals to the high EU price for sugar. This paper attempts to analyse the complex hierarchy of trade arrangements between the EU and specific groups of countries. It compares the different trade agreements - including those achieved under the WTO - and explores the impact of these upon both the EU and the other countries involved.

description: Motivated by the recent progress of high-frequency ultrasonic measurements, we propose a theory of magnetoacoustic resonance as a microscopic probe for quadrupole degrees of freedom hidden in magnetic materials. A local strain driven by an acoustic wave couples to electronic states of a magnetic ion through various quadrupole-strain couplings, and this provides a periodically time-dependent oscillating field. As a typical two-level system with the quadrupole, we consider a non-Kramers doublet and investigate single- and multiphonon-mediated transition processes on the basis of the Floquet theory. An analytic form of the transition probability is derived within the weak coupling theory, which helps us analyze the magnetoacoustic quadrupole resonance. We apply the theory to realistic non-Kramers doublet systems for the f2 configuration in Oh and D4h symmetries, and discuss how to identify the relevant quadrupole by controlling the quadrupole-strain coupling with an applied magnetic field in ultrasonic measurements.

description: The paper considers the set of issues associated with the design and implementation of support, trade and multifunctionality policies in agriculture. It first describes how non-trade concerns were taken into account in the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture and how they are currently integrated in the current round of negotiations through the opposition between multifunctionality proponents versus opponents. It briefly describes the main non-trade concerns that can be associated with agricultural production (food security, viability of rural areas, environment and natural resource protection) and concludes that a unambiguous resolution to the problems of identifying, measuring and valuing the externalities and/or the public goods associated with agricultural production is unlikely. It summarises some lessons that can be drawn from economic theory. If externalities are not adequately addressed, trade liberalisation may not be beneficial to some countries but even in that case, which corresponds to reality, trade policies are unlikely to be second-best instruments of dealing with externalities. According to the policy-targeting theory, non-trade concerns associated with agricultural production should be addressed through specific and targeted measures. Furthermore, policies are likely to be country specific reflecting differences in preferences among countries. As these normative conclusions rest on several assumptions, other criteria have to be taken into account for more complete evaluation of policy choices and policy impacts. Criteria include administrative efficiency, monitoring and enforcement, information and uncertainty, ethical and political considerations (notably political feasibility), distributional issues, other distortions (because markets are far from being perfect), as well as flexibility and dynamic adjustments.
Partial suppression of the radial orbit instability in stellar systems

description: It is well known that the simple criterion proposed originally by Polyachenko and Shukhman (1981) for the onset of the radial orbit instability, although being generally a useful tool, faces significant exceptions both on the side of mildly anisotropic systems (with some that can be proved to be unstable) and on the side of strongly anisotropic models (with some that can be shown to be stable). In this paper we address two issues: Are there processes of collisionless collapse that can lead to equilibria of the exceptional type? What is the intrinsic structural property that is responsible for the sometimes noted exceptional stability behavior? To clarify these issues, we have performed a series of simulations of collisionless collapse that start from homogeneous, highly symmetrized, cold initial conditions and, because of such special conditions, are characterized by very little mixing. For these runs, the end-states can be associated with large values of the global pressure anisotropy parameter up to 2K_r/K_T \approx 2.75. The highly anisotropic equilibrium states thus constructed show no significant traces of radial anisotropy in their central region, with a very sharp transition to a radially anisotropic envelope occurring well inside the half-mass radius (around 0.2 r_M). To check whether the existence of such almost perfectly isotropic "nucleus" might be responsible for the apparent suppression of the radial orbit instability, we could not resort to equilibrium models with the above characteristics and with analytically available distribution function; instead, we studied and confirmed the stability of configurations with those characteristics by initializing N-body approximate equilibria (with given density and pressure anisotropy profiles) with the help of the Jeans equations.

description: We investigate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of the B -> pi pi processes measured in B factory experiments. Fits to the experimental data of this process indicate a large ratio of color-suppressed (C) to color-allowed (T) tree contributions. We investigate whether the large C/T can be explained within the QCD based model computation with i) a large effect from the end-point singularity or with ii) large final-state-interaction phase between two different isospin amplitudes. We show that the current experimental data do not exclude either possibility but we may be able to distinguish these two effects in future measurements of direct CP asymmetry of B -> pi^0 pi^0.

description: Asteroid (31) Euphrosyne is one of the biggest objects in the asteroid main belt and the Euphrosyne family occupies a highly inclined region in the outer main belt and contains a remarkably large number of members, which is interpreted as an outcome of a disruptive cratering event. The goals of this adaptive-optics imaging study were threefold: to characterize the shape of Euphrosyne, to constrain its density, and to search for the large craters that may be associated with the family formation event. We obtained disk-resolved images of Euphrosyne using SPHERE/ZIMPOL at ESO's 8.2-m VLT as part of our large program (ID: 199.C-0074, PI: Vernazza). We reconstructed its 3D-shape using the adam shape modeling algorithm based on the SPHERE images and the available lightcurves of this asteroid. We analyzed the dynamics of the satellite with the genoid meta-heuristic algorithm. Finally, we studied the shape of Euphrosyne using hydrostatic equilibrium models. Our SPHERE observations show that Euphrosyne has a nearly spherical shape with the sphericity index of 0.9888 and its surface lacks large impact craters. Euphrosyne's diameter is 268+/-6 km, making it one of the top 10 largest main belt asteroids. We detected a satellite of Euphrosyne -- S/2019 (31) 1-- that is about 4 km across, on an circular orbit. The mass determined from the orbit of the satellite together with the volume computed from the shape model imply a density of 1665+/-242 kg/m^3, suggesting that Euphrosyne probably contain a large fraction of water ice in its interior. We find that the spherical shape of Euphrosyne is a result of the reaccumulation process following the impact, as in the case of (10) Hygiea. However, our shape analysis reveals that, contrary to Hygiea, the axis ratios of Euphrosyne significantly differ from the ones suggested by fluid hydrostatic equilibrium following reaccumulation.

description: Background: Cefazolin is used as a prophylactic antibiotic to reduce surgical site infections (SSIs). Obesity has been identified as a risk factor for SSIs. Cefazolin dosing recommendations and guidelines are currently inconsistent for obese patients. As plasma and target-site exposure might differ, pharmacokinetic data from the sites of SSIs are essential to evaluate treatment efficacy: these data can be obtained via tissue microdialysis. This analysis was designed to evaluate the need for dosing adaptations in obese patients for surgical prophylaxis. Methods: Data from 15 obese (BMImedian ¼ 52.6 kg m 2) and 15 age- and sex-matched nonobese patients (BMImedian ¼ 26.0 kg m 2) who received 2 g cefazolin i.v. infusion for infection prophylaxis were included in the analysis. Pharmacokinetic data from plasma and interstitial space fluid (ISF) of adipose tissue were obtained and analysed simultaneously using nonlinear mixed-effects modelling. Dosing regimens were evaluated by calculating the probability of target attainment (PTA) and the cumulative fraction of response (CFR) for plasma and ISF using unbound cefazolin concentration above minimum inhibitory concentration 100% of the time as target (fT>MIC ¼ 100%). Dosing regimens were considered adequate when PTA and CFR were 90%. Results: Evaluation of cefazolin doses of 1 and 2 g with redosing at either 3 or 4 h by PTA and CFR in plasma and ISF found 2 g cefazolin with redosing at 4 h to be the most suitable dosing regimen for both obese and nonobese patients (PTA >90% and CFR >90% for both). Conclusions: This model-based analysis, using fT>MIC ¼ 100% as a target, showed that cefazolin dosing adaptations are not required for surgical prophylaxis in obese patients.

Στα τέλη του 11ου αι. το Βυζάντιο αντιμετώπισε μια από τις σοβαρότερες κρίσεις ασφάλειας στη μακραίωνη ιστορία του. Οι σοβαρές στρατιωτικές ήττες από τους εξωτερικούς εχθρούς (Τούρκους, Νορμανδούς κ.ά.) και η πολιτική αστάθεια που ξέσπασε στο εσωτερικό τη δεκαετία του 1070 προκάλεσαν όχι μόνο την εδαφική συρρίκνωση αλλά και τη γεωπολιτική υποχώρηση του Βυζαντίου. Οι πρωτοβουλίες των Κομνηνών τόσο σε στρατιωτικό όσο και σε διπλωματικό επίπεδο επέτρεψαν στο Βυζάντιο όχι μόνο να αντιμετωπίσει τις εξωτερικές απειλές και να ανακτήσει εκτεταμένα εδάφη στη χερσόνησο του Αίμου και την Ανατολή αλλά και να αναδειχθεί σε μία από τις ισχυρότερες δυνάμεις στην Ευρώπη και τη Μέση Ανατολή στα τέλη του 11ου αι. και τον 12ο αι.
description: This doctoral thesis aims to examine the Grand Strategy of the Komneni emperors, Alexios I (1081-1118), John II (1118-1143), and Manuel I (1143-1180), and the crisis management they faced during the period 1081-1180. At the end of the 11th c. Byzantium faced one of the most serious security crises in its history. The serious military defeats by the external enemies (Turks, Normans, etc.) and the political instability that broke out in the interior in the 1070s caused not only extensive territorial losses but also the geopolitical retreat of Byzantium. The initiatives of the Komneni both at the military and diplomatic level allowed Byzantium not only to face external threats or reconquer former imperial territories in the Balkan Peninsula and the East but also to emerge as one of the strongest powers in Europe and the Middle East at the end of the 11th century and the 12th c.

description: In this paper we present a Keller--Segel model with logistic growth dynamics arising in the study of chemotactic pattern formation. We prove the existence of a minimum wave speed for which the model exhibits nonnegative travelling wave solutions at all speeds above this value and none below. The exact value of the minimum wave speed is given for all biologically relevant parameter values. These results strengthen recent results where non-sharp upper and lower bounds on the minimum wave speed were derived in a restricted parameter regime.

description: To improve the forecasting capability of impactful solar energetic particle (SEP) events, the relation between coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and SEP events needs to be better understood. Here we present a statistical study of SEP occurrences and timescales with respect to the CME source locations and speeds, considering all 257 fast ($v_{CME}$ $\ge$ 900 km/s) and wide (angular width $\ge$ 60$^{\circ}$) CMEs that occurred between December 2006 and October 2017. We associate them with SEP events at energies above 10 MeV. Examination of the source region of each CME reveals that CMEs more often accompany a SEP event if they originate from the longitude of E20-W100 relative to the observer. However, a SEP event could still be absent if the CME is $

description: This booklet shows selected projects by 2nd year University of Cape Town Bachelor of Architectural Studies (BAS) students in 2010. The projects were undertaken as part of the technology course. Students worked in teams of three to build technological models of parts of selected buildings.The exercise was based on an approach this year which is encompassed in the idea that a heirarchical relationship can be discerned in a building comprised of the following aspects respectively: conceptualising-structuring-layering-detailing - which are actualised with building materials. This approach, summarised in the diagram below (with the additional proviso that the building as such is located within a wider natural and human environment), underpins teaching and hopefully learning of technology in BAS2 2010.

description: The Geneva-Brussels approach to quantum mechanics (QM) and the semantic realism (SR) nonstandard interpretation of QM exhibit some common features and some deep conceptual differences. We discuss in this paper two elementary models provided in the two approaches as intuitive supports to general reasonings and as a proof of consistency of general assumptions, and show that Aerts' quantum machine can be embodied into a macroscopic version of the microscopic SR model, overcoming the seeming incompatibility between the two models. This result provides some hints for the construction of a unified perspective in which the two approaches can be properly placed.

description: Given that the amphiphilicity of polysorbates represents a key factor in the protection of proteins from particle formation, the loss of this property through degradative processes is a significant concern. Therefore, the present study sought to identify the factors that contribute to the oxidative cleavage of the polysorbate (PS) molecule and to ascertain the preferred sites of degradation. In order to gain insight into the radical susceptibility of the individual polysorbate segments and their accessibility to water, conceptual density functional theory calculations and molecular dynamics simulations were performed. The behavior of monoesters and diesters was examined in both monomer form and within the context of micelles. The theoretical results were corroborated by experimental findings, wherein polysorbate 20 was subjected to 50 ppb Fe2+ and 100,000 lx·h of visible light, and subsequently stored at 25 °C/60% r.h. or 40 °C/75% r.h. for a period of 3 months. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated that unesterified polyoxyethylene(POE) chains within a polysorbate 20 molecule exhibited the greatest water accessibility, indicating their heightened susceptibility to oxidation. Nevertheless, the oxidative cleavage of esterified polyoxyethylene chains of a polysorbate 20 molecule is highly detrimental to the protective effect on protein particle formation. This occurs presumably at the oxyethylene (OE) units in the vicinity of the sorbitan ring, leaving a nonamphiphilic molecule in the worst case. Consequently, the critical degradation sites were identified, resulting in the formation of degradation products that indicate a loss of amphiphilicity in PS.

description: We compare the effects of temperature and parallel magnetic field on the two-dimensional metallic behavior within the unified model of temperature and field dependent effective disorder arising from the screened charged impurity scattering. We find, consistent with experimental observations, that the temperature and field dependence of resistivity should be qualitatively similar in n-Si MOSFET and very different in n-GaAs 2D metallic systems.

Stability of in-plane and out-of-plane chiral skyrmions in epitaxial MnSi(111)/Si(111) thin films: surface twists versus easy-plane anisotropy

description: The revisited theoretical phase diagrams for thin films of cubic helimagnets with the easy-plane anisotropy are shown to have different topology as previously reported [Phys. Rev. B 85, 094429 (2012)]. For both in-plane and out-of-plane directions of an applied magnetic field, the phase diagrams exhibit extensive areas of stable skyrmions, which overlap for a wide range of anisotropy parameters. Although the existence of the out-of-plane skyrmions was contradicted within the previous theoretical models, we prove that additional surface twists lead to their stability, while the moderate easy-plane anisotropy increases the stability range of in-plane skyrmions. Moreover, the interplay between the anisotropy and the surface twists gives rise to a stable spiral state canted with respect to the surfaces. Being absent in bulk helimagnets, this oblique spiral occupies vast areas at the phase diagrams in thin-film nanosystems and serves as a connecting-link between cones and helicoids. Our theory gives clear directions for renewed experimental studies of in-plane and out-of-plane skyrmions in epitaxial MnSi(111)/Si(111) thin films.

description: We present CCD photometry, light curve and time series analysis of the classical nova V382 Vel (N Vel 1999). The source was observed for 2 nights in 2000, 21 nights in 2001 and 7 nights in 2002 using clear filters. We report the detection of a distinct period in the light curve of the nova P=0.146126(18) d (3.5 h). The period is evident in all data sets, and we interpret it as the binary period of the system. We also measured an increase in the amplitude modulation of the optical light (in magnitude) by more than 55% from 2000 to 2001 and about 64% from 2001 to 2002. The pulse profiles in 2001 show deviations from a pure sinusoidal shape which progressively become more sinusoidal by 2002. The main cause of the variations in 2001 and 2002 can be explained with the occultation of the accretion disk by the secondary star. We interpret the observed deviations from a pure sinusoidal shape as additional flux resulting from the aspect variations of the irradiated face of the secondary star.

description: We consider an elliptic problem with unknowns on the boundary of the domain of the elliptic equation and suppose that the right-hand side of this equation is square integrable and that the boundary data are arbitrary (specifically, irregular) distributions. We investigate local (up to the boundary) properties of generalized solutions to the problem in Hilbert distribution spaces that belong to the refined Sobolev scale. These spaces are parametrized with a real number and a function that varies slowly at infinity. The function parameter refines the number order of the space. We prove theorems on local regularity and a local a priori estimate of generalized solutions to the problem under investigation. These theorems are new for Sobolev spaces as well.

Nonlinear integral equations for the finite size effects of RSOS and vertex-models and related quantum field theories

Year: 2005

description: Starting from critical RSOS lattice models with appropriate inhomogeneities, we derive two component nonlinear integral equations to describe the finite volume ground state energy of the massive $ϕ_{id,id,adj}$ perturbation of the $SU(2)_k \times SU(2)_{k'} /SU(2)_{k+k'}$ coset models. When $k' \to \infty$ while the value of $k$ is fixed, the equations correspond to the current-current perturbation of the $SU(2)_k$ WZW model. Then modifying one of the kernel functions of these equations, we propose two component nonlinear integral equations for the fractional supersymmetric sine-Gordon models. The lattice versions of our equations describe the finite size effects in the corresponding lattice models, namely in the critical RSOS($k,q$) models, in the isotropic higher-spin vertex models, and in the anisotropic higher-spin vertex models. Numerical and analytical checks are also performed to confirm the correctness of our equations. These type of equations make it easier to treat the excited state problem.
