description: Based on a 14-moment closure for non-resistive (general-) relativistic viscous plasmas, we describe a new numerical scheme that is able to handle all first-order dissipative effects (heat conduction, bulk and shear viscosities), as well the anisotropies induced by the presence of magnetic fields. The latter is parameterized in terms of a thermal gyrofrequency or, equivalently, a thermal Larmor radius and allows to correctly capture the thermal Hall effect. By solving an extended Israel-Stewart-like system for the dissipative quantities that enforces algebraic constraints via stiff-relaxation, we are able to cast all first-order dissipative terms in flux-divergence form. This allows us to apply traditional high-resolution shock capturing methods to the equations, making the system suitable for the numerical study of highly turbulent flows. We present several numerical tests to assess the robustness of our numerical scheme in flat spacetime. The 14-moment closure can seamlessly interpolate between the highly collisional limit found in neutron star mergers, and the highly anisotropic limit of relativistic Braginskii magnetohydrodynamics appropriate for weakly collisional plasmas in black-hole accretion problems. We believe that this new formulation and numerical scheme will be useful for a broad class of relativistic magnetized flows.

Mission Impossible? Defining Nongovernmental Organizations

description: This paper provides a synopsis of current interpretations of the term “nongovernmental organisation” (NGO). Although NGOs have become recognised actors in international affairs, particularly over the last decade, it has not yet been clearly defined what the term NGO encompasses. It is argued that two major tracks of NGO interpretations can be distinguished: the juridical approach, and the sociological perspective. In juridical studies, the emphasis is placed on the legal status of NGOs in the national context and their implications for international law. Sociological works, instead, are based on studies of societal actors, and try to capture the term while examining more specifically the composition and functions of NGOs in the transnational arena. Acknowledging both tracks, the paper concludes with a comprehensive definition of the term NGO.

Abstract: 

What am I? Being an applicant for the ERC Starting Grant, I am a junior researcher, while remaining a daughter, a mother, an emigrant and an immigrant. For my son’s toddler friend, I am a lady, for my 85 years old neighbour – a girl. If I accidentally push someone on the subway, he calls me an idiot, when I hold the door for a stranger, I am a charm. Thus, as any other human being in our complex social world, I receive a multitude of labels expressed through common nouns – human nouns (=HN). Their choice is never random and, beyond the descriptive function, is strongly conditioned by speaker’s and hearer’s identities and relationship, as well as the agency of the referents.

HumaNS-CHANGE's design is based on the hypothesis that the HN lexicon responds to social changes both reflecting and driving the evolution of social organization (e.g."citoyenne" as term of address instead of "madame" during French Revolution) and cultural representations (e.g. "person" instead of "man" juged as inappropriate). Nevertheless, while linguistics and anthropology have extensively studied personal names, terms of address, and kinship in relation to social organization, the HN lexicon has been so far largely overlooked.

HumaNs-CHANGE addresses this gap through a cross-disciplinary study of the HN lexicon and its evolution in Medieval French (9th-15th century). This period witnesses both the birth and development of standard written French and considerable changes of social institutions, providing a relevant frame for examining the evolution of HN. The core is a comprehensive analysis of linguistic usage of HN which results are further examined from historical science and linguistic anthropology perspectives.

The team includes experts in French historical linguistics, Medieval French history, Linguistic anthropology and Statistical analysis for Human and Social Sciences and is led by PI, who has produced excellent research on the semantics and pragmatics of HN in Medieval French.
Professionalised representation of human rights NGOs to the United Nations

description: Most studies explain the rise of NGOs as actors on the international stage by emphasising political developments or technical achievements as factors which have fostered their success. The focus in this paper, instead, will be on how NGOs themselves have transformed and how such change has affected the way in which they have become significant players in international relations. Drawing upon the notion of professionalisation as deriving from theoretical approaches of societal activism, I argue that NGOs increasingly invested in their international presence and gradually professionalised. In order to illustrate the argument, professionali-sation of NGO representation to the UN will be examined with respect to four case studies of international human rights organisations: Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Federation of Human Rights and the International League for Human Rights.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattices beyond graphene, such as germanene, promise new physical properties such as quantum spin Hall effect. While there have been many claims of growth of germanene, the lack of precise structural characterization of the epitaxial layers synthesized hinders further research. The striped layer formed by Ge deposition on Ag(111) has been recently ascribed as a stretched germanene layer. Using surface X-ray diffraction and density functional theory calculations, we demonstrate that it corresponds in fact to a Ag$_2$Ge surface alloy with an atomic density 6.45% higher than the Ag(111) atomic density. The overall structure is formed by stripes associated with a face-centered cubic top-layer alignment, alternating with stripes associated with an hexagonal-close-packed top-layer alignment, in great analogy with the ($22\times\sqrt3$) Au(111) reconstruction.

description: 1,4-diethynylbenzene is investigated by UV linear dichroism polarisation spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation on molecular samples partially aligned in stretched polyethylene. The investigation covers the range from the absorption onset around 32,000 cm–1 (310 nm) to 58,000 cm–1 (170 nm) in the far UV. The polarisation spectra lead to resolution of otherwise overlapping spectral features and to experimental symmetry assignments of the observed molecular states. The observed transition moment directions of the differently polarised components of the weak absorption band between 32,000 and 35,000 cm–1 (310 and 285 nm) support previously suggested vibronic assignments. The observed bands are compared with electronic transitions computed with TD–CAM-B3LYP, CIS and CIS(D). Magnetic Circular Dichroism (MCD) B-terms computed with the semiempirical LCOAO method are also reported. The calculated ordering of electronic states is found to be sensitive to the theoretical model. The absorption in the far UV is predicted to involve the in-plane π and π* components of the C≡C triple bonds and orbitals of mixed valence-Rydberg character.

description: In this contribution, we show that the product dissociation energy (D) × interatomic distance (R) with regards to a straightforward taxonomy of diatomic molecules comes to assume a relatively high and virtually constant value. It is so much so that the heavier the diatomic molecules at hand, the closer DxR approaches e2 (where e is the elementary charge intensity in esu). This occurrence is studied herein separately under families arranged from chemically-alike diatomic molecules. Each family (such as the set made of ‘pairs of strictly alkali atoms’, or ‘pairs of strictly halogen atoms’, or ‘pairs of alkali-halogen atoms’, etc), is thus composed of diatomic molecules formed of atoms bearing similar electronic configurations; whereby we initially ended up dealing with 18 families in total. In addition to those, we brought together 10 more families of diatomic molecules each composed of heavy metal atoms belonging respectively to each of the ten columns drawn from the three rows of heavy metals under the Periodic Table, and observed an even better conformance. [Sc2, Y2, La2] is the first family in question; [Ti2, Zr2, Hf2] and [Va2, No2, Ta2] are the next two families; [Zn2, Cd2, Hg2] delineates the last family of heavy metal diatomic molecules of concern. Let us stress that each of these sets embodies diatomic molecules made of heavy metal atoms belonging to the given column of the Periodic Table; thus, bearing alike electronic configurations. We further brought together 5 more families made of heavy metal hydrides, oxides, chlorides, and alkalines. We were motivated to undertake the present research in the light of our insight with regards to (i) the general non-opacity character of neutral bodies vis-à-vis electrical field transmission, and thence (ii) the attractional electric property of neutral bodies – which underlines the disclosed constancy where, particularly for diatomic molecules comprising heavy atoms, the increase in DxR happens to get aligned with the increase in atomic weight 1 (A1) × atomic weight 2 (A2).

description: We introduce ArGoT, a data set of mathematical terms extracted from the articles hosted on the arXiv website. A term is any mathematical concept defined in an article. Using labels in the article's source code and examples from other popular math websites, we mine all the terms in the arXiv data and compile a comprehensive vocabulary of mathematical terms. Each term can be then organized in a dependency graph by using the term's definitions and the arXiv's metadata. Using both hyperbolic and standard word embeddings, we demonstrate how this structure is reflected in the text's vector representation and how they capture relations of entailment in mathematical concepts. This data set is part of an ongoing effort to align natural mathematical text with existing Interactive Theorem Prover Libraries (ITPs) of formally verified statements.

Another use of narrations is to describe attacks. We propose in this paper to compile, when possible, attack describing narrations into a set of tests that honest participants can perform to exclude these executions. These tests can be implemented in monitors to protect existing implementations from rogue behaviour.

description: The International Gamma-Ray Astrophyiscs Laboratory (INTEGRAL) is discovering a large number of new hard X-ray sources, many of them being HMXBs. The identification and spectral characterization of their optical/infrared counterparts is a necessary step to undertake detailed study of these systems. In particular, the determination of the spectral type is crucial in the case of the new class of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs), which show X-ray properties common to other objects. We used the ESO/NTT SofI spectrograph to observe proposed IR counterparts to HMXBs, obtaining Ks medium resolution spectra (R = 1320) with a S/N >= 100. We classified them through comparison with published atlases. We were able to spectrally classify the six sources. This allowed us to ascribe one of them to the new class of SFXTs and confirm the membership of two sources to this class. We confirmed the spectral classification, derived from optical spectroscopy, of a known system, 4U 1907-09, showing for the first time its infrared spectrum. The spectral classification was also used to estimate the distance of the sources. We compared the extinction as derived from X-ray data with effective interstellar extinction obtained from our data, discussing the absorption component due to the circumstellar environment, which we observed in four systems; in particular, intrinsic absorption seems to emerge as a typical feature of the entire class of SFXTs.

MMT Spectroscopy of Lyman-alpha in Massive z~7 Galaxies: Implications for Probing Reionization with Future Wide-Area Surveys
Creators: name: Endsley, Ryan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Over the past decade, deep wide-area surveys from the ground (e.g. HSCSSP and UltraVISTA) have revealed hundreds of massive galaxies at z>6. Because these massive systems mark the first sites of structure formation in the early Universe, it is expected that they likely host the largest ionized bubbles formed during reionization. Rest-UV spectroscopy provides a path towards confirming this picture since the Lyman-alpha emission line will be heavily attenuated if the emitting source lies outside a large ionized bubble. Here, we present the first results from a new MMT/Binospec survey targeting Lyman-alpha in a large sample of massive z~7 galaxies selected over wide-area fields which has, to date, revealed >25 Lyman-alpha detections at z=6.5-7.1. We find no evidence of evolution in the Lyman-alpha EW distribution of massive galaxies between z~6-7, consistent with a picture wherein massive z~7 galaxies often reside in large, highly-ionized regions. We also find multiple instances where our massive z~7 Lyman-alpha emitters have spatial separations (<5 physical Mpc) consistent with the expected sizes of HII regions. We conclude by discussing our results in context of upcoming wide-area surveys with NGRST. The high Lyman-alpha detection rate in our z~7 sample (>50%) demonstrates that rest-UV spectroscopic follow-up of the tens of thousands of massive z>6 galaxies identified by NGRST will provide unprecedented insight into reionization and early structure formation.
Theoretical investigation of synchronous totally asymmetric exclusion processes on lattices with multiple-input-single-output junctions

description: In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of synchronous totally asymmetric exclusion processes on lattices with a multiple-input single-output (MISO) junction, which consists of m subchains for the input and one main chain for the output. A MISO junction is a type of complex geometry that is relevant to many biological processes as well as vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow. A mean-field approach is developed to deal with the junction that connects the subchains and the main chain. Theoretical results for stationary particle currents, density profiles, and a phase diagram have been obtained. It is found that the phase boundary moves toward the left in the phase diagram with an increase of the number of subchains. The nonequilibrium stationary states, stationary-state phases, and phase boundaries are determined by the boundary conditions of the system as well as by the number of subchains. The density profiles obtained from computer simulations show very good agreement with our theoretical analysis.

description: An approach to the equation of state for the inner crust of neutron stars based on Skyrme-type forces is presented. Working within the Wigner-Seitz picture, the energy is calculated by the TETF (temperature-dependent extended Thomas-Fermi) method, with proton shell corrections added self-consistently by the Strutinsky-integral method. Using a Skyrme force that has been fitted to both neutron matter and to essentially all the nuclear mass data, we find strong proton shell effects: proton numbers $Z$ = 50, 40 and 20 are the only values possible in the inner crust, assuming that nuclear equilibrium is maintained in the cooling neutron star right down to the ambient temperature. Convergence problems with the TETF expansion for the entropy, and our way of handling them, are discussed. Full TETF expressions for the specific heat of inhomogeneous nuclear matter are presented. Our treatment of the electron gas, including its specific heat, is essentially exact, and is described in detail.

description: The European renewable energy directive 2009/28/EC (E.C. 2009) provides a legislative framework for reducing GHG emissions by 20%, while achieving a 20% share of energy from renewable sources by 2020. Perennial energy crops could significantly contribute to limit GHG emissions through replacing equivalent fossil fuels and by sequestering a considerable amount of carbon into the soil through the large amounts of belowground biomass produced. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of land use change that perennial energy crops have on croplands (switchgrass) and marginal grasslands (miscanthus). For that purpose above and belowground biomass, SOC variation and Net Ecosystem Exchange were evaluated after five years of growth. At aboveground level both crops produced high biomass under cropland conditions as well as under marginal soils. At belowground level they also produced large amounts of biomass, but no significant influences on SOC in the upper layer (0-30 cm) were found. This is probably because of the "priming effect" that caused fast carbon substitution. In switchgrass only it was found a significant SOC increase in deeper layers (30-60 cm), while in the whole soil profile (0-60 cm) SOC increased from 42 to 51 ha-1. However, the short experimental periods (for both switchgrass and miscanthus), in which land use change was evaluated, do not permit to determine the real capacity of perennial energy crops to accumulate SOC. In conclusion the large amounts of belowground biomass enhanced the SOC dynamic through the priming effect resulting in increased SOC in cropland but not in marginal grassland.

description: Blockchain technology has developed significantly over the last decade. One of the reasons for this is its sustainability architecture, which does not allow modification of the history of committed transactions. That means that developers should consider blockchain vulnerabilities and eliminate them before the deployment of the system. In this paper, we demonstrate a statistical model checking approach for the verification of blockchain systems on three real-world attack scenarios. We build and verify models of DNS attack, double-spending with memory pool flooding, and consensus delay scenario. After that, we analyze experimental results and propose solutions to avoid these kinds of attacks.

description: We study the dissipative dynamics of a two-level system (TLS) exposed to strong ac driving. By combing Floquet theory with Van Vleck perturbation theory in the TLS tunneling matrix element, we diagonalize the time-dependent Hamiltonian and provide corrections to the renormalized Rabi frequency of the TLS, which are valid for both a biased and unbiased TLS and go beyond the known high-frequency and rotating-wave results. In order to mimic environmental influences on the TLS, we couple the system weakly to a thermal bath and solve analytically the corresponding Floquet-Bloch-Redfield master equation. We give a closed expression for the relaxation and dephasing rates of the TLS and discuss their behavior under variation of the driving amplitude. Further, we examine the robustness of coherent destruction of tunneling (CDT) and driving-induced tunneling oscillations (DITO). We show that also for a moderate driving frequency an almost complete suppression of tunneling can be achieved for short times and demonstrate the sensitiveness of DITO to a change of the external parameters.

description: Allergy is a common hypersensitivity disorder that affects 15% to 20% of the population and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. Its severity correlates with the degree of eosinophil infiltration into the conjunctiva, which is mediated by chemokines that stimulate the production of adhesion molecules like intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on the endothelial cell surface. The α4β1 and α4β7 integrins are expressed in eosinophils and contribute to their activation and infiltration in AC through the binding to VCAM-1 or fibronectin, expressed on vascular endothelial cells. Blockade of α4 integrins might be a therapeutical achievement in allergic eye diseases. DS 70, that show an IC50 in the nanomolar range against α4β1 integrin in Jurkat cells and in the eosinophilic cell line EOL-1. This compound was able to prevent cell adhesion to VCAM-1 and FN in vitro. In a scintillation proximity assay DS70 displaced 125I-FN binding to human α4β1 integrin and, in flow cytometry analysis, it antagonized the binding of a primary antibody to α4β1 integrin expressed on the Jurkat cells surface as well. Furthermore, we analysed also its effects on integrin α4β1 signalling. In an vivo model of allergic conjunctivitis, topical DS70 reduced the clinical aspects of EPR (early phase reaction) and LPR (late phase reaction), by reducing clinical score, eosinophil accumulation, mRNA levels of cytochines and chemochines pro-inflammatory and the conjunctival expression of α4 integrin. In conclusion, DS70 seems a novel antiallergic ocular agent that has significant effects on both early and late phases of ocular allergy.

Dialect survey of Halkomelem Salish
Creators: name: Gerdts, Donna B.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Halkomelem is the language spoken by the Salish Indians of British Columbia whose territory stretches from Nanoose to Malahat on Vancouver Island, from Tsawwassen north to Vancouver on the mainland, and from Vancouver 105 miles up the Fraser River to a point north of Yale. A language with such geographical limits, even if its speakers interacted frequently, would be expected to have regional differences. Elmendorf and Suttles (1960) elicited over 600 items at three locations in the Halkomelem area. Their data from Cowichan, Musqueam, and Chilliwack show that there are phonological, morphological, and lexical differences within Halkomelem. The present study focuses on lexical differences. A list of 150 vocabulary items showing lexical differentiation was elicited at twenty-one locations within the area (Appendix A and B). These data are analyzed to delimit dialect and sub-dialect areas within Halkomelem. The data are also analyzed with reference to cognates in other Salish languages to suggest processes involved in vocabulary change. This paper is organized as follows: Chapter 1 provides information concerning the sub-grouping of Salish languages and delineates the political units within the Halkomelem area. Chapter 2 explains the transcription used for the present data, with some comment on dialectal variation in phonological features. Chapter 3 explains the origin of the 150 word-list employed in this study. Evidence is presented to support the division of Halkomelem into three dialect areas: Island, Downriver, and Upriver. These dialects are further divided into sub-dialects. Chapter 4 examines the Halkomelem data with reference to other Salish languages to suggest three processes involved in vocabulary change: borrowing, derivation of different words from different but semantically related roots, and lexical replacement with concurrent semantic shifting.
Controllable Excitation of Surface Plasmon Polaritons in Graphene-Based Semiconductor Quantum Dot Waveguides

description: In the present paper, the collective near-field effects in a two-graphene sheets plasmonic waveguide loaded with an array of Ag$_2$Se quantum dots excited by external radiation are theoretically studied. This research aims to develop a theoretical approach to realizing controllable excitation and the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in planar graphene waveguides. The proposed model is based on the semiclassical description that implies the dispersion equation's solution for SPPs excited in two coupled graphene sheets and the embedded quantum dots' energy spectra analysis. Using the finite difference time domain method, the different near-field patterns realized in the waveguides depending on the quantum dots' ordering and an external voltage applied independently to each graphene sheet with additional gold electrodes are numerically investigated. The research shows that applying external voltages allows locally changing the graphene chemical potential, thereby leading to controllable excitation of SPPs in the space between the electrodes. Under these conditions, the propagation direction of the excited SPPs is determined by the geometrical configurations of the gold electrodes providing the required SPP routing. The investigated system offers new opportunities for near-field energy transport and concentration, which can be applied to develop ultra-compact photonic devices.

description: We introduce the concept of non-deterministic noiseless linear amplification. We propose a linear optical realization of this transformation that could be built with current technology. We discuss two applications; ideal probabilistic cloning of coherent states and distillation of continuous variable entanglement. For the latter example we demonstrate that highly pure entanglement can be distilled from transmission over a lossy channel.

description: Hate speech is a specific type of controversial content that is widely legislated as a crime that must be identified and blocked. However, due to the sheer volume and velocity of the Twitter data stream, hate speech detection cannot be performed manually. To address this issue, several studies have been conducted for hate speech detection in European languages, whereas little attention has been paid to low-resource South Asian languages, making the social media vulnerable for millions of users. In particular, to the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted for hate speech detection in Roman Urdu text, which is widely used in the sub-continent. In this study, we have scrapped more than 90,000 tweets and manually parsed them to identify 5,000 Roman Urdu tweets. Subsequently, we have employed an iterative approach to develop guidelines and used them for generating the Hate Speech Roman Urdu 2020 corpus. The tweets in the this corpus are classified at three levels: Neutral-Hostile, Simple-Complex, and Offensive-Hate speech. As another contribution, we have used five supervised learning techniques, including a deep learning technique, to evaluate and compare their effectiveness for hate speech detection. The results show that Logistic Regression outperformed all other techniques, including deep learning techniques for the two levels of classification, by achieved an F1 score of 0.906 for distinguishing between Neutral-Hostile tweets, and 0.756 for distinguishing between Offensive-Hate speech tweets.

A 15 deg Wide Field of View Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope

description: Contemporary imaging air Cherenkov telescopes (IACT) for ground-based very high energy (VHE) gamma ray astronomy have prime focus optical design. Typically these telescopes have a 2-4 deg wide field of view (FoV). They use f/0.7-f/1.2 optics and provide 3-10 arcmin resolution in the FoV. Generally, a well designed telescope that includes more than one optical element will offer some advantages not available in prime focus designs, such as a wider FoV, a more compact size, a higher and more homogeneous resolution and a lower degree of isochronous distortion of light rays focused onto the focal plane. Also, they allow monitoring the gamma ray activity in a sizeable portion of the sky in a single observation. This would allow one to perform a sensitive all-sky survey in a relative short time. We present an f/0.8 15 deg wide FoV telescope design, which provides a high and near uniform resolution and low isochronous distortion across the entire FoV.
