description: Rural labor markets respond quickly to business cycle movements, and appear to show signs of recession and expansion before urban labor markets. The rural and urban unemployment rates, on the other hand, show about the same degree of response to changes in gross domestic product. Some rural labor market groups—parttime for economic reasons workers and discouraged workers— respond less to business cycle movements, so that an expansion is less likely to benefit these individuals than those in urban areas.

description: Industry clusters have become a popular strategy for rural economic development, yet their benefits to the local areas have not been fully examined. Labor is expected to be more productive within clusters, which should translate into higher wages. Our analysis confirms this, showing that workers’ earnings in rural industry clusters are about 13 percent higher than those of comparable workers outside clusters. The wage boost is similar for workers regardless of age or education level.

description: Phase-averaged dilute bubbly flow models require high-order statistical moments of the bubble population. The method of classes, which directly evolve bins of bubbles in the probability space, are accurate but computationally expensive. Moment-based methods based upon a Gaussian closure present an opportunity to accelerate this approach, particularly when the bubble size distributions are broad (polydisperse). For linear bubble dynamics a Gaussian closure is exact, but for bubbles undergoing large and nonlinear oscillations, it results in a large error from misrepresented higher-order moments. Long short-term memory recurrent neural networks, trained on Monte Carlo truth data, are proposed to improve these model predictions. The networks are used to correct the low-order moment evolution equations and improve prediction of higher-order moments based upon the low-order ones. Results show that the networks can reduce model errors to less than $1\%$ of their unaugmented values.

A high-significance detection of non-Gaussianity in the WMAP 1-year data using directional spherical wavelets

description: A directional spherical wavelet analysis is performed to examine the Gaussianity of the WMAP 1-year data. Such an analysis is facilitated by the introduction of a fast directional continuous spherical wavelet transform. The directional nature of the analysis allows one to probe orientated structure in the data. Significant deviations from Gaussianity are detected in the skewness and kurtosis of spherical elliptical Mexican hat and real Morlet wavelet coefficients for both the WMAP and Tegmark et al. (2003) foreground-removed maps. The previous non-Gaussianity detection made by Vielva et al. (2003) using the spherical symmetric Mexican hat wavelet is confirmed, although their detection at the 99.9% significance level is only made at the 95.3% significance level using our most conservative statistical test. Furthermore, deviations from Gaussianity in the skewness of spherical real Morlet wavelet coefficients on a wavelet scale of 550 arcmin (corresponding to an effective global size on the sky of approximately 26 degrees and an internal size of 3 degrees) at an azimuthal orientation of 72 degrees, are made at the 98.3% significance level, using the same conservative method. The wavelet analysis inherently allows one to localise on the sky those regions that introduce skewness and those that introduce kurtosis. Preliminary noise analysis indicates that these detected deviation regions are not atypical and have average noise dispersion. Further analysis is required to ascertain whether these detected regions correspond to secondary or instrumental effects, or whether in fact the non-Gaussianity detected is due to intrinsic primordial fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background.

description: The Parrondo's paradox is a counterintuitive phenomenon in which individually losing strategies, canonically termed game A and game B, are combined to produce winning outcomes. In this paper, a co-evolution of game dynamics and network structure is adopted to study adaptability and survivability in multi-agent dynamics. The model includes action A, representing a rewiring process on the network, and a two-branch game B, representing redistributive interactions between agents. Simulation results indicate that stochastically mixing action A and game B can produce enhanced, and even winning outcomes, despite gameB being individually losing. In other words, a Parrondo-type paradox can be achieved, but unlike canonical variants, the source of agitation is provided by passive network evolution instead of an active second game. The underlying paradoxical mechanism is analyzed, revealing that the rewiring process drives a topology shift from initial regular lattices towards scale-free characteristics, and enables exploitative behavior that grants enhanced access to the favourable branch of game B.

description: Fully three out of four nonmetro counties have average out-commuting rates from their towns and places of more than 35 percent. Commuting is one way to take advantage of housing and job options in nearby communities; hence, commuting rates are higher in parts of the country where places are closer together, mainly east of the Mississippi. Commuting rates are higher from smaller towns and places. Commuting implies that creating job opportunities for a community’s residents may not require bringing jobs into that community. Conversely, bringing jobs into a community will not necessarily mean jobs for residents. Separation of work and residence could result in need for social services, housing, and water and sewer facilities that do not decline when jobs do. This separation may also separate sources of tax revenues from the needs.

description: Electron transport through disordered systems that include spin scatterers is studied numerically. We consider three kinds of magnetic impurities: the Ising, the XY and the Heisenberg. By extending the transfer matrix method to include the spin degree of freedom, the two terminal conductance is calculated. The variance of conductance is halved as the number of spin components of the magnetic impurities increases. Application of the Zeeman field in the lead causes a further halving of the variance under certain conditions.

description: In the present contribution, we aim to present the osteology of ‘ULBRA-PVT-281’, which comprises the best-preserved skeleton of Prestosuchus chiniquensis ever found. ULBRA-PVT-281 combines the morphology of two classic specimens referred to P. chiniquensis, UFRGS-PV-0156-T and UFRGSPV- 0152-T, reunited in a single operational taxonomic unit (OTU) in previous phylogenetic studies. Therefore, the new specimen reinforces the combination of both specimens. We performed a phylogenetic analysis, combining the information of these three specimens plus braincase data from a fourth specimen, UFRGS-PV-0629-T, into a new P. chiniquensis terminal taxon. Moreover, our analysis also included some new taxa potentially related to P. chiniquensis. As a result, we found a topology slightly distinct from previous studies, where Ticinosuchus ferox is the basalmost member of Loricata, which also includes the new combined P. chiniquensis. Our results place P. chiniquensis, Luperasuchus fractus, and Saurosuchus galilei distributed in a pectinate paraphyletic pattern towards Crocodylomorpha. On the other hand, a constrained analysis forcing the monophyly of these taxa demands just a single extra step. Therefore, both scenarios are plausible and agree with the placement of P. chiniquensis within Loricata, whereas T. ferox nests in Loricata only in the unconstrained analysis.

description: The new Telecommunications Act, enacted in 1996, was the first comprehensive rewrite of the Communications Act of 1934 that had ushered in an era of universal phone service for rural areas. The 1996 Act’s provisions fall into five major areas: telephone service, telecommunications equipment manufacturing, cable television, radio and television broadcasting, and the Internet and online computer services. All these provisions will affect rural areas, but universal service is the most critical. Without the universal service provision rural areas may rapidly fall behind urban areas. In May 1997, the Federal Communications Commission enacted regulatory provisions for universal service.
Discovery of a Sirius-like binary system with a very strongly magnetic white dwarf. Binarity among magnetic white dwarfs

description: Binary systems containing a magnetic white dwarf and a main-sequence star are considered extremely rare, perhaps non-existent. In the course of a search of magnetic fields in high-mass white dwarfs we have discovered a Sirius-like wide binary system composed of a main-sequence G0 star and a $M\sim 1.1\,M_\odot$ white dwarf with a huge (hundreds of MG) magnetic field. This star, WDS J03038+0608B, shows a circular polarisation amplitude of 5% in the continuum, with no evidence of variability in a 1d time-scale, little or no linear polarisation in the blue part of the spectrum, and about 2% linear polarisation in the red part of the optical spectrum. A search in the literature reveals the existence of at least four more binary systems that include a magnetic white dwarf and a non-degenerate companion - three such systems passed unremarked in previous studies. We estimate that up to a few percent of magnetic white dwarfs may be found to occur in wide binary pairs. However, at least four of the five known binary systems with a magnetic white dwarf are too widely separated to be expected to evolve into systems experiencing Roche lobe overflow, and cannot be considered as progenitors of magnetic cataclysmic variable (AM Her and DQ Her) systems.

description: Employing a previously derived formulation, and extending the treatment from purely transverse modes to wave vectors having a longitudinal component, we discuss the prospects for the occurrence of Weibel-type color-current filamentation in high-energy nuclear collisions. Numerical solutions of the dispersion equation for a number of scenarios relevant to RHIC and LHC suggest that modes with (predominantly transverse) wave numbers of several hundred MeV may become moderately agitated during the early collision stage. The emergence of filamentation helps to speed up the equilibration of the parton plasma and it may lead to non-statistical azimuthal patterns in the hadron final state.

A one-dimensional (1D) ordered structure of 6T with its molecular long axis parallel to the Cu[001] direction could be fabricated by deposition at 300 K and subsequent annealing at 360 K. Polarization and azimuth-dependent NEXAFS revealed the formation process of the 1D structure and showed the molecular orientation in the in-plane direction directly. We propose here a method to obtain the orientation distribution function of molecules using NEXAFS.

description: Growing public concern about pollution and the environment has sparked interest in industrial uses of agricultural products. Industrial uses of these products can provide farmers with new market opportunities. Expanding industrial demand for farm products may boost farm income and can restore economic opportunity in rural communities by attracting value-added industries. For example, increased crambe production and the construction of a new oilseed processing plant may bring employment and income growth to rural North Dakota.
Integrating Colectica, Nesstar, and DDI-Lifecycle Pt2: Nesstar - a Dissemination Toolkit

description: Both Colectica and Nesstar are software applications based on the DDI metadata standard. Many organizations use Nesstar for publishing data on the web, documented with DDI Codebook. Many organizations also use Colectica to document their studies and datasets using DDI Lifecycle. With the creation of the new Nesstar API, an integration opportunity exists to publish data described in DDI Lifecycle to the DDI Codebook based Nesstar server. This presentation will demonstrate the integration that is now implemented between Nesstar and Colectica. In this demo, a dataset and a study documented in Colectica using DDI Lifecycle metadata will be published to a Nesstar server using the Nesstar API. This integration allows users of both software packages greater opportunities for expanded metadata documentation and improved data publication and visualization.

description: We experimentally investigate on-chip control and analysis of spatially multimode nonlinear interactions in silicon nitride waveguide circuits. Using widely different dispersion of transverse supermodes in a strongly-coupled dual-core waveguide section, and using integrated pairs of input and output single-mode waveguides, we enable controlled excitation of nonlinear processes in multiple supermodes, while a basic physical mode decomposition aids the identification of parallel and cascaded processes. Pumping with ultrashort pulses at 1.5-$μ$m wavelength (around 195-THz light frequency), we observe simultaneous dual-supermode, near-infrared supercontinuum generation having different spectral widths, in parallel with third-harmonic generation at around 515 nm (582 THz). Cascaded four-wave mixing with supercontinuum components upconverts the third-harmonic radiation toward a set of four shorter blue wavelengths emitted in the range between 485 and 450 nm (617 to 661 THz). The approach taken here, i.e., using chip-integrated spatial multiplexing and demultiplexing for excitation and analysis of broadband transverse nonlinear conversion, can be an advanced tool for better understanding and control in multimode nonlinear optics, such as for extending frequency conversion to wider spectral ranges via extra phase matching paths.

In particular, we match Brown--Henneaux boundary conditions at infinity, which yields two Virasoro algebras, to Heisenberg boundary conditions at the horizon yielding two u(1) current algebras. Our construction allows to equip BTZ black holes with soft hair excitations at the horizon invisible to the asymptotic observer.

description: Legumes can contribute to a more sustainable agriculture by limiting N fertilisation, diversifying crop rotation and substituting imported protein-rich feed. However, their production remains low in the European Union, which had led to specific policies. For instance, following the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, France established Voluntary Coupled Support (VCS) scheme for legumes. Germany did not introduce a VCS, but provides more favourable implementation of the Nitrates Directive (ND) for legumes by allowing spreading manure on these crops. Our study quantifies economic and environmental impacts of the VCS and measures of the ND affecting legume production in France and Germany. We employ the bio-economic model FarmDyn, parameterised for a typical dairy farm in France and Germany, to analyse different levels of VCS per hectare and to compare the French versus the German implementation of the ND. Results suggest that VCS leads to a significant increase in legume production. The implementation of the German ND can foster legume production due to the possibility of spreading manure on legumes. The policy induced increase in legume production is lower in the German farm due to higher opportunity costs of legumes. In both farms, the profit slightly increases but the share of VCS in the profit rises. Environmental indicators are overall improved. Thus, VCS, coupled with an adapted implementation of the Nitrate Directive, is an effective policy to foster environmental benefits from increased legume production. However, the effectiveness of these policies highly depends on the opportunity costs of legumes in each country.

The History of Chinese Nurses in Canada
Creators: name: Phan, Lieza
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Background: The nursing profession in Canada has been historically rooted in exclusive elements of race, gender, and class. After European settlers colonized Canada in the seventeenth century, Indigenous people were displaced, and white hegemony dominated the development of the country. Subsequent waves of immigration increased ethnic diversity but Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) people continued to experience racism. Chinese people have established a vibrant history in Canada since their arrival in 1858. Through working in the Gold Rush, building the Canadian Pacific Railway and paying the head tax, they have experienced great amounts of discrimination and oppression. The nursing profession was historically strictly restricted to white females of the middle class, and individuals from BIPOC communities were barred from entering nursing school, including individuals of Chinese descent. Although literature and history about Black and Indigenous nurses exist today, the history of Chinese nurses in Canada is limited. The main purpose of this project is to examine articles from the first half of the twentieth century that provide evidence of the existence and insight into the experiences of Chinese nurses in Canada. Methods: Historical methodology was utilized in this study; primary and secondary sources were analyzed to examine historical accounts of Chinese nurses in Canada. The primary sources analyzed were predominantly found in archival newspaper databases, including the BC Historical Newspaper Database and colonial newspaper archives, and included The Province and The Vancouver Sun. Results: A list of news articles about Chinese nurses in Canada were compiled from the specified archival newspaper databases, and themes were identified. The themes included the process of admission into nursing schools, the social lives of Chinese Canadian nurses, and the contributions of Chinese Canadian nurses to public health. Conclusion: The early Chinese nurses in Canada went through rejection and racism as they challenged racial barriers and persisted to achieve their ideal careers. The bravery, courage, and perseverance they went through to attain goals and challenge norms of the dominant societal culture contributes to the ethnic diversity in the nursing profession today.

description: Recent years have witnessed the rapid development of Neuro-Symbolic (NeSy) AI systems, which integrate symbolic reasoning into deep neural networks. However, most of the existing benchmarks for NeSy AI fail to provide long-horizon reasoning tasks with complex multi-agent interactions. Furthermore, they are usually constrained by fixed and simplistic logical rules over limited entities, making them far from real-world complexities. To address these crucial gaps, we introduce LogiCity, the first simulator based on customizable first-order logic (FOL) for an urban-like environment with multiple dynamic agents. LogiCity models diverse urban elements using semantic and spatial concepts, such as IsAmbulance(X) and IsClose(X, Y). These concepts are used to define FOL rules that govern the behavior of various agents. Since the concepts and rules are abstractions, they can be universally applied to cities with any agent compositions, facilitating the instantiation of diverse scenarios. Besides, a key feature of LogiCity is its support for user-configurable abstractions, enabling customizable simulation complexities for logical reasoning. To explore various aspects of NeSy AI, LogiCity introduces two tasks, one features long-horizon sequential decision-making, and the other focuses on one-step visual reasoning, varying in difficulty and agent behaviors. Our extensive evaluation reveals the advantage of NeSy frameworks in abstract reasoning. Moreover, we highlight the significant challenges of handling more complex abstractions in long-horizon multi-agent scenarios or under high-dimensional, imbalanced data. With its flexible design, various features, and newly raised challenges, we believe LogiCity represents a pivotal step forward in advancing the next generation of NeSy AI.

Remarks on heavy-quark production in photon-nucleon and photon-photon collisions
Creators: name: Szczurek, A.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: I discuss mechanisms of heavy quark production in (real) photon-nucleon and (real) photon - (real) photon collisions. In particular, I focuse on application of the Saturation Model. In addition to the main dipole-nucleon or dipole-dipole contribution included in recent analyses, I propose how to calculate within the same formalism the hadronic single-resolved contribution to heavy quark production. At high photon-photon energies this yields a sizeable correction of about 30-40 % for inclusive charm production and 15-20 % for bottom production. Adding all possible contributions to $e^+ e^- \to b \bar b X$ together removes a huge deficit observed in earlier works but does not solve the problem totally.

description: The rural South has long been, for Blacks especially, a place characterized by declining agricultural opportunities, diminishing numbers of land owners, limited education and employment, few government services, continuous outmigration, and persistent poverty for many who remain. Nevertheless, not all communities suffering from these conditions have abandoned hope. Some have drawn on the strength of their own traditional institutions to sustain and even rebuild community life. Members of the Brooks Farm community, in the face of declining population and resources, have continued to provide services from within the community. At the same time, they have learned new ways to organize to secure services the community cannot provide for itself.

description: The paper deals with results of the study of freshwater fish remains obtained from the Miocene deposits of Bełchatów open-cast brown coal mine in 1984 and 1986. These fossils are represented mainly by numerous disarticulated bones which are assumed as belonging to cyprinid (Tinca sp.) and esocids (Esox sibiricus, Esox sp.), as well as to indeterminate bony fishes (Teleostei indet.). The find of the Siberian pike described herein is the oldest occurrence of this species in Europe, and allows extending its previously known range to the west. Some aspects of the palaeogeography and palaeoecology of the late early Miocene fish assemblage of Bełchatów with reference to the distribution of E. sibiricus are discussed.

description: Blue-Cloud 2026 presented a workshop session on the 17th of October on "Blue-Cloud Data-intensive Workbenches for selected Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs)."

This session presented to the OBPS audience the Big Data Workbenches that were being developed under the umbrella of the Blue-Cloud 2026 initiative with marine data providers such as SeaDataNet, EMODnet Chemistry, CMEMS, EcoTaxa, and more. Together, utilizing best practices and standards, they worked to develop, validate, and document new analytical Big Data Workbenches, which could be adopted by EMODnet, CMEMS, and selected RIs for producing, at regular intervals, a set of harmonized and validated data collections for a selection of Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) in physics, chemistry, and biology—highly relevant for analyzing the state of the environment and numerical simulations useful for deploying Digital Twins of the Ocean applications.

The session gave a general presentation of the workflows that were being designed and implemented by ocean and data scientists from European marine infrastructures (Blue-Cloud 2026, SeaDataNet, EMODnet Chemistry, CMEMS, EcoTaxa) to deploy data-intensive Workbenches for selected Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs). Thanks to the Workbenches, researchers harmonized, validated, and qualified large and various in situ data sources, exploiting the blue analytical services available in the Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment. One of the first and most important steps was to analyze and select the most useful metadata to retain between several input datasets, so that they could be compared. This semantic task improved metadata used in different communities and hopefully led to a common choice. Other elements, still under development, were also showcased and presented for community feedback, such as the semantic analyzer, the semantic brokerage and the DAB components, Beacon as a powerful data lake that enabled subsetting, and how all these elements were crucial for the Workbenches.
Probing the galaxy-halo connection with total satellite luminosity

description: We demonstrate how the total luminosity in satellite galaxies is a powerful probe of dark matter halos around central galaxies. The method cross-correlates central galaxies in spectroscopic galaxy samples with fainter galaxies detected in photometric surveys. After background subtraction, the excess galaxies around the central galaxies represent faint satellite galaxies within the dark matter halo. Using abundance matching models, we show that the the total galaxy luminosity, L_sat, scales linearly with host halo mass, making L_sat an excellent proxy for M_h. L_sat is also sensitive to the formation time of the halo, as younger halos have more substructure at fixed M_h. We demonstrate that probes of galaxy large-scale environment can break this degeneracy. Although this is an indirect probe of the halo, it can yield a high-S/N measurement for galaxies expected to occupy halos at $<10^{12}$ M_sol, where other methods suffer from larger errors. In this paper we focus on observational and theoretical systematics in the L_sat method. We test the robustness of our method of finding central galaxies and our methods of estimating the number of background galaxies. We implement this method on central galaxies in SDSS data, with satellites identified in faint imaging from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys. We find excellent agreement between our theoretical predictions and the observational measurements. Finally, we compare our L_sat measurements to weak lensing estimates of M_h for red and blue subsamples. In the stellar mass range where the measurements overlap, we find consistent results, where red galaxies live in larger halos. However, the L_sat approach allows us to probe significantly lower mass galaxies. At these masses, the L_sat values are equivalent. This example shows the potential of L_sat as a probe of dark halos.

A Technical Perspective on Use-Case-Driven Challenges for Software Architectures to Document Study and Variable Information

description: Leveraging software architecture techniques to build up well defined software projects like the model-view-controller-pattern has several advantages: the separation of self-contained functionality and the generation of interactive modules. Creating an abstract application programming interface (API), the main intention is to develop individual software projects which can profit from sharing functionality. As shown in the previous presentation on the business perspective, the idea is to create a reusable core data model - the DDI Discovery Vocabulary, which can be extended and adjusted to the requirements of an individual project. In this presentation, however, we will show how the abstract implementation of the DDI Discovery Vocabulary model integrates well into structured software architecture of a software project and how it might be extended. This is shown by means of the technical implementation of the use case project called MISSY. Based on the business perspective and the requirements to the data model of a project, some possible physical persistence implementations to store data are presented as an API. We will also give a step-by-step guidance into how a project, which uses the DDI Discovery Vocabulary as an exchange format and core data model, can be build up from scratch.

description: Archaeomalthus synoriacos gen. et sp. nov. from the Upper Permian Babiy Kamen` locality indicates a remarkable evolutionary stability. Herein we report the oldest record of the family Micromalthidae, Archaeomalthus synoriacos gen. et sp. nov., which demonstrates several plesiomorphic character states, but generally retains most of the apomorphies of Micromalthidae. Archaeomalthus suggests that a distinct simplification of the morphology of adults already evolved in the late Paleozoic, suggesting and early reduction of the role of adults in the life cycle of the group. Despite the marked differences between Archaeomalthus and Micromalthus, the former already show a distinct and apparently very stable degree of deviation from the ground plan of Coleoptera s.str. and s.l. The remarkable series of reductional features shared by the Permian fossil and the extant species include a lightly sclerotized body without distinct surface sculpture, a head lacking dorsal protuberances, shortened and apparently thin elytra, exposed membranous areas behind the procoxae and between at least two basal visible abdominal sternites, and the reversal of the invagination of the terminal abdominal segments. It is likely that the reduced role of adults of Micromalthidae was a syndrome of simplified, vestigial adult morphology characters acquired at least 255 million years ago.
