description: In this work, we present a conditionally stable finite-difference scheme that consistently approximates the solution of a general class of (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear equations that generalizes in various ways the quantitative model governing discrete arrays consisting of coupled harmonic oscillators. Associated with this method, there exists a discrete scheme of energy that consistently approximates its continuous counterpart. The method has the properties that the associated rate of change of the discrete energy consistently approximates its continuous counterpart, and it approximates both a fully continuous medium and a spatially discretized system. Conditional stability of the numerical technique is established, and applications are provided to the existence of the process of nonlinear supratransmission in generalized Klein-Gordon systems and the propagation of binary signals in semi-unbounded, three-dimensional arrays of harmonic oscillators coupled through springs and perturbed harmonically at the boundaries, where the basic model is a modified sine-Gordon equation; our results show that a perfect transmission is achieved via the modulation of the driving amplitude at the boundary. Additionally, we present an example of a nonlinear system with a forbidden band-gap which does not present supratransmission, thus establishing that the existence of a forbidden band-gap in the linear dispersion relation of a nonlinear system is not a sufficient condition for the system to present supratransmission.

description: In the fall of 1991, with two years of course work toward our doctoral studies completed, we began two years of work as UTS Tutors for Professors Christopher Morse and James Cone in the introductory theology sequence of ST103 and ST104. To say this experience was formative would be an understatement. A central component of Christopher’s ST104 course, Foundations of Christian Theology, was gaining skills in theological argumentation in order to demonstrate how Christian doctrines can be applied to contemporary issues. Generations of Union students developed this skill through writing Utrum essays. In this exercise Christopher adapted the steps of "theological dialectic" set forth by Thomas Aquinas in the Summa Theologiae. We were lucky to be working with Christopher as he was completing his seminal work, Not Every Spirit: A Dogmatics of Christian Disbelief, and enjoyed applying the Utrum form to the foundational theological claims. In Not Every Spirit Christopher states, "The purpose of this exercise is to develop the complementary skills in addition to doing scriptural exegesis and historical exposition required for what is called "dialectic," meaning here the pros and cons of argument involved in adjudicating disputed issues, a task of dogmatic theology as a "testing of the spirits." Reading dozens of Utrum essays and watching Christopher demonstrate this skill in many classes over two semesters of tutoring ST104 shaped our own theological method profoundly. Learning to examine contemporary theological and ethical issues through the Utrum format remains one of the most important intellectual and academic skills we gained in our doctoral programs at Union.

description: Previous research has found identity to be relevant for international migration, but has neglected internal mobility as in the case of the Great Chinese Migration. However, the context of the identities of migrants and their adaption in the migration process is likely to be quite different. The gap is closed by examining social assimilation and the effect on the labor market outcomes of migrants in China, the country with the largest record of internal mobility. Using instrumental variable estimation, the study finds that identifying as local residents significantly increases migrants’ hourly wages and reduces hours worked, although their monthly earnings remained barely changed. Further findings suggest that migrants with strong local identity are more likely to use local networks in job search, and to obtain jobs with higher average wages and lower average hours worked per day.

description: Understanding the damage of DNA bases from hydrogen abstraction by free OH radicals is of particular importance to reveal the effect of hydroxyl radicals produced by the secondary effect of radiation. Previous studies address the problem with truncated DNA bases as ab-initio quantum simulation required to study such electronic spin dependent processes are computationally expensive. Here, for the first time, we employ a multiscale and hybrid Quantum-Mechanical-Molecular-Mechanical simulation to study the interaction of OH radicals with guanine-deoxyribose-phosphate DNA molecular unit in the presence of water where all the water molecules and the deoxyribose-phosphate fragment are treated with the simplistic classical Molecular-Mechanical scheme. Our result illustrates that the presence of water strongly alters the hydrogen-abstraction reaction as the hydrogen bonding of OH radicals with water restricts the relative orientation of the OH-radicals with respective to the the DNA base (here guanine). This results in an angular anisotropy in the chemical pathway and a lower efficiency in the hydrogen abstraction mechanisms than previously anticipated for identical system in vacuum. The method can easily be extended to single and double stranded DNA without any appreciable computational cost as these molecular units can be treated in the classical subsystem as has been demonstrated here.

Effect of molecular rotation on enantioseparation

description: Recently, several laser schemes have been proposed to separate racemic mixtures of enantiomers by splitting a molecular beam into subbeams consisting of molecules of definite chirality [Y. Li, C. Bruder, and C. P. Sun, Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 130403 (2007); X. Li and M. Shapiro, J. Chem. Phys. 132, 194315 (2010)]. These ideas rely on laser-induced effective gauge potentials in an adiabatic basis which lead to a chirality dependent force on the center-of-mass. However, the effect of molecular rotation has been neglected in these studies. Accounting for the full molecular quantum state we find that the potentials from the adiabatic dressed state approach cannot be recovered once the molecular orientation dynamics is included, even in the rotational ground state. This affects substantially the ability to perform enantioseparation in the above mentioned setups.

Ammonia removal and recovery using heated struvite as an adsorbent
Creators: name: Novotny, Chad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The removal and recovery of aqueous ammonia from BNR plant centrate or supernatant is an important research area. Stringent ammonia discharge requirements must be met to avoid fish toxicity in the receiving waters. Completely removing ammonia from the process reduces the load recycled back to the head of the plant and minimizes operational problems associated with high return loads. The controlled recovery of phosphate and ammonia into struvite with a dedicated fluidized bed crystallizer has led to the production of commercially valuable struvite pellets for the fertilizer industry. However, excess ammonia remains after struvite crystallization. The purpose of this research was to initiate the development of a nitrogen removal technology. This was achieved using the isothermal decomposition of struvite to remove ammonia. The decomposed pellets were subsequently placed into an ammonium solution for removal of excess aqueous ammonium. Struvite was shown to decompose into a mixture of magnesium phosphates and struvite. Satisfactory decomposition was achieved with a minimum of 100°C for 30 minutes. Ammonium removal reached up to 99% for a solution pH 8. Effective ammonia-N removal required a minimum reaction duration of between 15-30 minutes with a 66.7g/L dose. Struvite heated at higher temperatures worked as a better substrate to remove aqueous ammonia-N. Molar ratio comparisons show that the ammonia removed from solution is likely incorporated into newly formed fine struvite, rather than being incorporated into the heated struvite. This provides evidence in favour of a dissolution-reformation mechanism, whereby heated struvite acts a source of magnesium and phosphate. Heated struvite is more soluble than unheated struvite, because water of hydration and ammonia are removed from the pellet. Mass balances were reasonable but were complicated by natural adsorption of atmospheric water onto heated pellets. The economic viability of this technology may be unfavourable. A trade off exists between high ammonium removal and dissolution of pellets, which are worth up to $3000 per tonne in the United States. The total daily cost to remove nitrogen using this technology is estimated to be about 15 times greater than using side stream nitrification.

description: Mark Nanos's socio-rhetorical study opens up new horizons for reading Galatians. Challenging the traditional pattern of interpretation, his questions concerning the concrete historical location of the letter go far beyond the standard introductory remarks about "South" or "North" Galatia. Not only the Jewish, but also, most importantly, the civic and imperial contexts of the letter are seriously examined. The implications of this approach are far reaching, both with regard to the "Jewishness" of Paul's gospel and for understanding the ramifications of his message within the political framework of the Roman empire.
Coexistence of Ferromagnetism and Superconductivity in Noncentrosymmetric Materials with Cubic Symmetry

description: This is a model study for the emergence of superconductivity in ferromagnetically ordered phases of cubic materials whose crystal structure lacks inversion symmetry. A Ginzburg-Landau-type theory is used to find the ferromagnetic state and to determine the coupling of magnetic order to superconductivity. It is found that noncentrosymmetricity evokes a helical magnetic phase. If the wavelength of the magnetic order is long enough, it gives rise to modulations of the order parameter of superconductivity, both in modulus and complex phase. At magnetic domain walls the nucleation of superconductivity is found to be suppressed as compared to the interior of ferromagnetic domains.

description: We derive a new effective macroscopic Cahn-Hilliard equation whose homogeneous free energy is represented by 4-th order polynomials, which form the frequently applied double-well potential. This upscaling is done for perforated/strongly het- erogeneous domains. To the best knowledge of the authors, this seems to be the first attempt of upscaling the Cahn-Hilliard equation in such domains. The new homog- enized equation should have a broad range of applicability due to the well-known versatility of phase-field models. The additionally introduced feature of systemati- cally and reliably accounting for confined geometries by homogenization allows for new modeling and numerical perspectives in both, science and engineering. Our results are applied to wetting dynamics in porous media and to a single channel with strongly heterogeneous walls.

description: Both scientific and moral communities have identified that current management of the natural environment by humans is unsustainable. How society responds to environmental challenges will likely require a multi-disciplinary approach. Jenkins addresses the contributions that science, religion and ethics can make to resolving complex environmental problems and increasing successful management of ecological systems. While we agree with many of Jenkins' points, he touches upon three common ideas about science, and ecology in particular, that we argue are often misconstrued: Scientific understanding of current environmental challenges is inadequate due to 'uncertainty' in scientific studies; Ecological scientists are equivalent to environmental managers; and scientists should become more like activists and consider social values as drivers. We suggest that these ideas may be unhelpful in interpreting scientific studies and might lead to increasing misrepresentation of science. Furthermore, such perceptions may increase distrust by the general public of scientists who do not adequately separate objective scientific evidence from personal value-judgments. We agree that the scientific method should indeed be ethical, with no room for fraud or deliberate falsification of results, but that the science itself must be objective and non-moral, with scientific evidence unprejudiced by political and social agendas. We recommend that ecologists and managers, as well as ethicists and religious communities, work together in a robust defense of an evidence-based approach to the management and restoration of global ecological systems.

description: This paper describes a formalization of discrete real closed fields in the Coq proof assistant. This abstract structure captures for instance the theory of real algebraic numbers, a decidable subset of real numbers with good algorithmic properties. The theory of real algebraic numbers and more generally of semi-algebraic varieties is at the core of a number of effective methods in real analysis, including decision procedures for non linear arithmetic or optimization methods for real valued functions. After defining an abstract structure of discrete real closed field and the elementary theory of real roots of polynomials, we describe the formalization of an algebraic proof of quantifier elimination based on pseudo-remainder sequences following the standard computer algebra literature on the topic. This formalization covers a large part of the theory which underlies the efficient algorithms implemented in practice in computer algebra. The success of this work paves the way for formal certification of these efficient methods.

description: Richard Rorty's Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature strikes a deathblow to modern European philosophy by telling a story about the emergence, development and decline of its primary props: the correspondence theory of truth, the notion of privileged representations and the idea of a self-reflective transcendental subject. Rorty's fascinating tale—his-story—is regulated by three fundamental shifts which he delineates in detail and promotes in principle: the move toward anti-realism or conventionalism in ontology, the move toward the demythologizing of the Myth of the Given or anti-foundationalism in epistemology, and the move toward detranscendentalizing the subject or dismissing the mind as a sphere of inquiry.

description: In turbulent thermal convection in cylindrical samples of aspect ratio Γ= D/L (D is the diameter and L the height) the Nusselt number Nu is enhanced when the sample is rotated about its vertical axis, because of the formation of Ekman vortices that extract additional fluid out of thermal boundary layers at the top and bottom. We show from experiments and direct numerical simulations that the enhancement occurs only above a bifurcation point at a critical inverse Rossby number $1/\Ro_c$, with $1/\Ro_c \propto 1/Γ$. We present a Ginzburg-Landau like model that explains the existence of a bifurcation at finite $1/\Ro_c$ as a finite-size effect. The model yields the proportionality between $1/\Ro_c$ and $1/Γ$ and is consistent with several other measured or computed system properties.

The n-dimensional log Fano manifolds (X, D) with nonzero D are classified in this article when the log Fano index r of (X, D) satisfies either r\geq n/2 with ρ(X)\geq 2 or r\geq n-2. This result is a partial generalization of the classification of logarithmic Fano threefolds by Maeda.

description: You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive God to be, and whatever your labors and aspirrations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. —Max Ehrmann, Desiderata In my introductory astronomy course for non-science majors, I always have students who take the course because it’s the least abhorrent science class they can find. These students have been convinced by their previous education that they "can’t do" science and math. Though they are bright, articulate and accomplished and have earned their place in a selective liberal arts college, they’re convinced that they lack some special neural connections or chemical transmitters to understand information and arguments that happen to fall under the broad umbrella of science. My course is designed for these students and all but a very few succeed. On the last day, after we have spent the semester working through calculations of the luminosities, temperatures and sizes of stars and the distances to galaxies, I give them Desiderata. I focus on the fact that they are children of the universe and they belong here. Humans are not something artificial plunked down on Earth. We are part of it. We are Earth’s mind and voice. I review how they have come to exist, from the earliest moments of the Big Bang creating the protons and neutrons in every atom in their bodies, through a couple generations of stars fusing primordial hydrogen and helium into the carbon, calcium, nitrogen and oxygen in their skin, bones and breath; the explosive deaths of giant stars creating the iron carrying oxygen to their brains, the iodine regulating their metabolisms and the gold and silver shining in their jewelry; half a billion years of biological evolution giving them arms, legs and brains and ten thousand years of cultural evolution giving them a university.

description: We explore the four top signal ttbar ttbar at the 7 TeV Large Hadron Collider as a probe of physics beyond the standard model. Enhancement of the corresponding cross-section with respect to the Standard Model value can probe the electroweak symmetry breaking sector or test extra dimensional models with heavy Kaluza-Klein gluons and quarks. We perform a detailed analysis including background and detector simulation in the specific case of a universal extra-dimensional model with two extra dimensions compactified using the geometry of the real projective plane. For masses around 600 GeV, a discovery is possible for an effective cross section above 210 fb (36 fb) for 1/fb (10/fb) of integrated luminosity. This implies a branching ratio in tops of the (1,1) heavy photon above 13% (5%). Furthermore, the 4-top signal from the (2,0) and (0,2) tiers can be discovered with an integrated luminosity of 3.5/fb. The results of our simulation can be easily adapted to other models since the background processes are identical. Concerning the signal, typical production mechanisms for the ttbar ttbar signal are similar even if cross-section values may vary considerably depending on the model and the spectrum of the new particles.

title: The textual sociology of the Stationers' Registers, 1554-1605
Creators: name: Waring, K
Publisher: name: Bath Spa University
Year: 2022

description: The Stationers’ Registers are paradoxical objects. The Stationers’ Company is well-known amongst early modern scholars and the Stationers’ Registers are frequently cited; together, they played a significant role in the narratives of book history that emerge throughout this period. However, given that the Stationers’ Registers are such important texts there have been very few studies concerned solely with them. This thesis, as an individual study of the Stationers’ Registers between 1554 and 1605, aims to redress this absence from the established work in this field. Its fundamental purpose is to explore the textual sociology of the Stationers’ Registers in order to examine its position as a cultural artefact in its own right, with particular emphasis placed upon the social dynamics that were instrumental in shaping the narratives and discourses that surround the registers. Chapters One and Two consider the ways in which concepts of ‘text’ and ‘authorship’ inform and fashion the material and social constructs of the Stationers’ Registers. Very little is known of the procedural aspect of the Company’s record-keeping systems during this period, so Chapter Three is an investigation of the daily procedural and cultural environment of the Stationers’ Company. Chapter Four examines the social function of the Stationers’ Registers, and their role as social documents. For the London book trades the registers had a value beyond that of the commercial, a worth that extended into cultural, social, and political spheres; and in Chapter Five I explore what the registers tell us about the values ascribed to texts.

description: In this article I will be looking at a third-century Alexandrian theologian, Origen, and his approach to Scriptural interpretation. I will be making an attempt to justify this approach philosophically. I will demonstrate that the epistemological value of Origen’s approach to the Scriptures is equal to that of the contemporary critical-historical method, and that any attempts to diminish the value of the traditional patristic approach to the Scriptures or to present it as epistemologically inferior are philosophically unjustified. I will be paying attention to the original context out of which Origen’s theology emerged, namely, certain philosophical premises of late antiquity. However, I will also use some notions and concepts that mark twentieth-century philosophical development, assuming that they can facilitate a proper understanding of Origen’s exegesis. I believe that as of today it is impossible to study the patristic tradition without taking into account twentieth-century logic and philosophy of language.

description: The Great Altar of Pergamon presents itself as a core monument of Western civilization. Isn't Paul, in his own way, mirroring the imagery of the Great Altar? Isn't he rightly blamed as an early protagonist of Western imperial order with its countless, multiform wars it has imposed on humanity? Looking at the troublesome role that Paul and the Galatians have played throughout the history of Christian occidental interpretation, I was wondering what actually these two, Paul and the Galatians, were wrestling with in their own world and at a time when the empire and imperial religion were not yet Christian. This sent me on a journey to ancient Galatia which became much more eventful than I had anticipated.
On Frei’s Eclipse of Biblical Narrative

description: Hans Frei's fresh interpretation in Eclipse of Biblical Narrative demonstrates the specific ways in which forms of supernaturalism, historicism, classicism, moralism and positivism have imposed debilitating constraints on the emergence of modern hermeneutics. These constraints resulted in a discursive closure which prohibited the development of a perspective which viewed Biblical texts as literary texts depicting unique characters and personages. Instead, early modern hermeneutical discourse conceived such texts as manifestations of divine presence, sources for historical reconstruction, articulations of the inner existential anxieties of their authors, bases for moral imperatives or candidates for verifiable claims. In a painstaking and often persuasive manner, Frei examines the "precritical" (a self-serving adjective coined by modern hermeneutical thinkers) interpretive procedures of Luther and Calvin, the pietistic viewpoint represented by Johann Jacob Rambach, the rationalistic approach of Spinoza and the proto-heilsgeschichtliche outlook of Johannes Cocceius.
title: 'In on the outside': the narratives of creative writing practitioners working in prisons
Creators: name: Simpson, E.A
Publisher: name: Bath Spa University
Year: 2022

description: The presence of the creative arts has a long history in prisons in England and Wales. During the second half of the 20th century the penal voluntary sector took an increasing role in the provision of authorised arts programmes in prisons, often delivered by professional creative practitioners. However, as the presence of these practitioners has increased, their voices have become less heard. The advent of evaluation research, aimed at evidencing the links between prisoner participation in the arts and positive personal change has often failed to capture the authentic voices of these practitioners, despite their indispensable contribution to the programmes delivered. There is a clear methodological split whereby practitioners are asked about their jobs, prisoners about their lives. This lack of focus on the practitioners’ biography seems particularly negligent at a time when desistance theories, particularly an interest in redemption narratives (Maruna, 2001), are being accepted into criminal justice policy. This is nowhere more pertinent than in a consideration of the narratives of creative writing practitioners, whose deliberately composed life stories may tell us a great deal about these practitioners’ possible significance in the custodial environment, and the value of the narratives they facilitate in their work with prisoners. This thesis explores the narrative construction of 19 creative writing practitioners’ intentions, motivations and journeys into work in prison, using an arts-based methodology combined with rigorous narratological analysis. The study found three types of narrative: the suffering artist, the (inadvertent) healer and the (human) revolutionary. None of which identified work in prison as an overarching goal. In most cases, prison was initially approached as a means to end. Some unexpected overlaps were found between the stories of practitioners and the literature on prisoner experience and there was a clear sense of ‘outsider’ (Becker, 1963) status expressed by the majority of practitioners. This suggests a different type of penal voluntary sector activity, grounded in an ethos of mutual aid rather than class-based benevolence, at work within the criminal justice system.

description: Creative Work: The Fairy Tale Therapist:- My original intention was to create a new form of self-help book using fairy tale characters to address psychological problems. The book I wrote does use fairy tale characters to address psychological problems, but it isn’t written as a typical self-help book. Instead, it’s the story of Helen, a therapist whose personal life suddenly and dramatically falls apart. Her solution? Not one she would suggest to her clients. She leaves everyone she knows and sets up a new practice in a small village in Wales, where her troubles start to fade. Until, that is, the fairy tale characters start coming in through her office window. Contextualising Research: The Fragility of Equilibrium in Therapy and Writing:- In this part of the thesis, I explore the methodologies, underpinning literature and the personal journey of discovery that led to the final book. I examine bibliotherapy, the self-help genre and case studies after selecting a canon of well-known self-help books. I then review classical fairy tales and I try using fairy tale characters rather than case studies as examples in a self-help book. I present these attempts and argue why this straight substitution doesn’t work well. Instead, therefore, I decided to use fairy tale characters’ dilemmas to illustrate the process of psychotherapy, so readers can better understand the aims and processes in therapy, and see inside a therapist’s mind. The resulting book ('The Fairy Tale Therapist', the creative part of my thesis), raised two further questions which I answer and explore in the critical component. Is there a concept that is central both to writing fiction and to carrying out/undergoing psychotherapy, and if so how does it achieve this? Story is the bridge that links these disciplines, and I found the key within story is the concept of equilibrium, the desire to return to a stable state an organism is disrupted by a challenge. Equilibrium is, however, elusive: once achieved, disequilibrium begins again. How might changing perspective help to better understand characters in fiction and clients in therapy/self-help? I found that by adhering to the plot but looking at what happens from a different perspective, as an author I gained a deeper understanding of characters other than the central character. I can also apply this technique to help my patients. Instead of trying to change what’s going on outside of themselves, I can challenge them to try changing the way they consider what’s going on, and in so doing help them to learn to accept—perhaps even celebrate—their circumstances.

description: Critiques of economics have been an important part of liberation theology from its inception, not only in the articulations of dependency theory in Latin America but also in early feminist and black liberation theology in the United States. But, as Ivan Petrella’s Beyond Liberation Theology demonstrates, liberation theology in the United States has failed to maintain a systemic economic critique. The economic crisis and the Occupy protests, however, have forced economics back to the foreground and suggest that the urgency of an economic critique in both the academy and church has not diminished. In this article, I make four proposals for revitalizing liberation theology’s economic critique. First, liberation theologies need to reengage with ongoing social movements of resistance to economic inequality; second, I contend that employing critical theories in response to these movements to challenge the ideals that sustain systemic economic injustice is essential to liberation theology; third, liberation theologies must openly resist theologies that legitimate systemic injustice; and, fourth, I propose rethinking theology through the praxis of organizing.
On completeness of reducibility candidates as a semantics of strong normalization

description: This paper defines a sound and complete semantic criterion, based on reducibility candidates, for strong normalization of theories expressed in minimal deduction modulo à la Curry. The use of Curry-style proof-terms allows to build this criterion on the classic notion of pre-Heyting algebras and makes that criterion concern all theories expressed in minimal deduction modulo. Compared to using Church-style proof-terms, this method provides both a simpler definition of the criterion and a simpler proof of its completeness.

description: Efficient computation of lattice defect geometries such as point defects, dislocations, disconnections, grain boundaries, interfaces and free surfaces requires accurate coupling of displacements near the defect to the long-range elastic strain. Flexible boundary condition methods embedded a defect in infinite harmonic bulk through the lattice Green function. We demonstrate an efficient and accurate calculation of the lattice Green function from the force-constant matrix for general crystals with an arbitrary basis by extending a method for Bravais lattices. New terms appear due to the presence of optical modes and the possible loss of inversion symmetry. By separately treating poles and discontinuities in reciprocal space, numerical accuracy is controlled at all distances. We compute the lattice Green function for a two-dimensional model with broken symmetry to elucidate the role of different coupling terms. The algorithm is generally applicable in two and three dimensions, to crystals with arbitrary number of atoms in the unit cell, symmetry, and interactions.

description: Results on the Prandtl-Blasius type kinetic and thermal boundary layer thicknesses in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a broad range of Prandtl numbers are presented. By solving the laminar Prandtl-Blasius boundary layer equations, we calculate the ratio of the thermal and kinetic boundary layer thicknesses, which depends on the Prandtl number Pr only. It is approximated as $0.588Pr^{-1/2}$ for $Pr\ll Pr^*$ and as $0.982 Pr^{-1/3}$ for $Pr^*\ll\Pr$, with $Pr^*= 0.046$. Comparison of the Prandtl--Blasius velocity boundary layer thickness with that evaluated in the direct numerical simulations by Stevens, Verzicco, and Lohse (J. Fluid Mech. 643, 495 (2010)) gives very good agreement. Based on the Prandtl--Blasius type considerations, we derive a lower-bound estimate for the minimum number of the computational mesh nodes, required to conduct accurate numerical simulations of moderately high (boundary layer dominated) turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection, in the thermal and kinetic boundary layers close to bottom and top plates. It is shown that the number of required nodes within each boundary layer depends on Nu and Pr and grows with the Rayleigh number Ra not slower than $\sim\Ra^{0.15}$. This estimate agrees excellently with empirical results, which were based on the convergence of the Nusselt number in numerical simulations.
The impact of charge symmetry and charge independence breaking on the properties of neutrons and protons in isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter

description: We investigate the effects of charge independence and charge symmetry breaking in neutron-rich matter. We consider neutron and proton properties in isospin-asymmetric matter at normal densities as well as the high-density neutron matter equation of state and the bulk properties of neutron stars. We find charge symmetry and charge independence breaking effects to be very small.

description: We consider noninteracting fermions on the honeycomb lattice in the presence of a magnetic vortex superlattice. It is shown that depending on the superlattice periodicity, a gap may open at zero energy. We derive an expression of the gap in the small-flux limit but the main qualitative features are found to be valid for arbitrary fluxes. This study provides an original example of a metal-insulator transition induced by a strongly modulated magnetic field in graphene. At the same time our results directly apply to Kitaev's honeycomb model in a vortex superlattice.

description: This paper aims to show that perfective verbs in Russian can – contrary to com-

mon sense – be used in performative utterances without lacking the performative

meaning of the sentences. In Russian, performative utterances are generally built

with an imperfective (ipv) verb in present tense, first person singular or plural. Ac-

cording to the Slavistic literature, the perfective (pv) verb is at most used in marked

contexts and with a few selected performative verbs. In our contribution, we will

show experimentally that the use of present perfective verbs in performative utter-

ances is considerably more widespread than supposed so far. In two experiments,

Russian native speakers located events in time, providing evidence, first, for the

temporal interpretation of the sentence depending on the verbal aspect, and sec-

ond, concerning whether the temporal interpretation differs depending on how

much context is given.
