Beyond the 20FM: The Revitalization of the New Moroccan Left Following the 2011 Protests
Creators: name: Paolini, Daniele
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

Since the late eighties, the Moroccan Left has been experiencing a profound ideological and political crisis exacerbated by the co-optation of the traditional socialist parties of the country. Starting from the nineties, numerous new forces tried to emerge as the new leading leftist front, although with little success. However, the events of 2011 in the Arab region played a crucial role in the revitalisation of the new Moroccan Left, today mostly represented by the Fédération de la Gauche Démocratique (FGD) and Annahj Addimocrati. The article investigates the interplay between the 20 February Movement (20FM) and these new socialist forces and it strengthens the idea that behind the 20FM and the establishment of a new non-governmental left lie the very same political and socio-economic reasons. Indeed, in 2011 the leftists attempted to emerge as leading forces side by side the 20FM, but due to their balkanization and internal divisions they were not able to form a united front and seize the opportunity to carry out their fight against the regime. Nevertheless, the political engagement of the 20FM stressed the importance of a new strong leftist-opposition front in the country and the 2011 protests eventually prompted the socialists to start a process of rapprochement aimed at overcoming the divisions of the past years.

description: A marble block from Ephesos bears the text of three honorary decrees dating back to 300 B.C. ca. According to the inscriptions, the city council granted citizenship and prize money to young athletes who distinguished themselves in prestigious panhellenic games. The main figure in the second inscription, Athenodoros, ἰσοτελής in Ephesos before being granted citizenship, is mentioned in I.Ephesos 2005. On the occasion of this decree, his talent earned him a subvention from the city; a similar grant might have been assigned to another rising athlete, Timonax, referred to in the third inscription.

description: The active Aotea and Evans Bay faults underlie Wellington Harbour/Te Whanganui a Tara, and are inferred to extend south beneath Wellington City and eastern suburbs. The Aotea Fault dips east, has reverse displacement, and projects onshore beneath the western flank of Mount Victoria/Matairangi and Te Aro, where a basement fault has been inferred previously. East of Mount Victoria, the Evans Bay Fault may dip west and extend southward beneath the Rongotai isthmus. Marine seismic-reflection profiles tied to dated sediment cores indicate vertical separation rates of ∼0.6 ± 0.3 mm/yr on both the Aotea and Evans Bay faults, and evidence of at least two, and one, seafloor-rupturing earthquakes during the last 10,000 years on each fault, respectively. Previously, neither fault has been recognised specifically in seismic hazard assessments of New Zealand. We infer that earthquakes activating these faults have magnitude Mw ≥ 7, potential rupture lengths exceeding 30 km, and possibly involve multiple faults.

The paper focuses on a case of interdisciplinary digital edition, developed in collaborative mode, whose ecdotic and interpretative innovations are analyzed. The edition – produced as part of the VaSto project – is dedicated to Benedetto Varchi’s Storia fiorentina, which traces the events that took place in Florence between 1527 and 1538, commissioned by the Duke of Florence Cosimo I de’ Medici in 1546, left unfinished and published only in 1721 in a version censored by Cosimo’s circle. Due to the wealth of data on Florentine life at the time, it is considered a valuable source for scholars, historians and art historians, but the original version is still unpublished.

Reconciling the Quasar Microlensing Disc Size Problem with a Wind Model of Active Galactic Nucleus

description: Many analyses have concluded that the accretion disc sizes measured from the microlensing variability of quasars are larger than the expectations from the standard thin disc theory by a factor of $\sim4$. We propose a simply model by invoking a strong wind from the disc to flatten its radial temperature profile, which can then reconcile the size discrepancy problem. This wind model has been successfully applied to several microlensed quasars with a wind strength $s\lesssim1.3$ by only considering the inward decreasing of the mass accretion rate (where $s$ is defined through $\dot{M}(R)\propto({R}/{R_{0}})^{s}$ ). After further incorporating the angular momentum transferred by the wind, our model can resolve the disc size problem with an even lower wind parameter. The corrected disc sizes under the wind model are correlated with black hole masses with a slope in agreement with our modified thin disc model.

description: The N1-methyladenosine (m1A) epigenetic modification exists in many RNAs and is related to many human diseases. Chemically synthesized RNAs containing the modification are required for projects aimed at studying biological processes, mechanisms, and pathogenesis related to m1A. Existing methods for the synthesis of m1A containing RNAs use tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) for the deprotection of the 2'-silyl protecting groups. Since TBAF is nonvolatile, and is relatively non-polar, its use in the desilylation of RNA requires repeated desalting, which is tedious and gives low yields. Here we report the use of the volatile and neat triethylamine hydrogen fluoride (TEA-HF) for desilylation of m1A RNA synthesis. We found that the method is much simpler, and—in our hands—give significantly higher yield of RNA. Two major concerns for m1A RNA synthesis are depurination and Dimroth rearrangement. HPLC and MALDI MS of the RNA indicated that depurination is not a problem for the new method. The absence of Dimroth rearrangement is proven by RNA digestion followed by HPLC analysis of the nucleosides.

description: A 12C32S, 13C32S, 12C34S, and 12C33S J = 2 - 1 line survey has been made to study interstellar 32S/34S and 34S/33S ratios from the galactic disk. The four CS isotopomers were detected in 20 star forming regions with galactocentric distances between 3 and 9 kpc. From a comparison of line velocities, the C33S J = 2 - 1 rest frequency is about 250 kHz below the value given in the Lovas (1992) catalog. Taking 12C/13C ratios from Wilson & Rood (1994) and assuming equal 12C32S and 13C32S excitation temperatures and beam filling factors, 12C32S opacities are in the range 3 to 15; average 32S/34S and 34S/33S isotope ratios are 24.4 +/- 5.0 and 6.27 +/- 1.01, respectively. While no systematic variation in the 34S/33S isotope ratio is found, the 32S/34S ratio increases with galactocentric distance when accounting for the 12C/13C gradient of the galactic disk. A fit to the unweighted data yields 32S/34S = 3.3 +/- 0.5 (dGC/kpc) + 4.1 +/- 3.1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.84. Since the interstellar sulfur (S) isotopes are synthesized by oxygen burning in massive stars, consequences for nucleosynthesis and models of chemical evolution are briefly discussed.

description: We study the cosmological collider phenomenology of neutrinos in an effective field theory. The mass spectrum of neutrinos and their characteristic oscillatory signatures in the squeezed limit bispectrum are computed. Both dS-covariant and slow-roll corrections are considered, so is the scenario of electroweak symmetry breaking during inflation. Interestingly, we show that the slow-roll background of the inflaton provides a chemical potential for the neutrino production. The chemical potential greatly amplifies the oscillatory signal and makes the signal observably large for heavy neutrinos without the need of fine tuning.

description: C6F12O (perfluoro-2-methyl-3-pentanone) is a high-potential environmentally friendly substitute agent applied in fire protection, the power industry and refrigeration. Herein, a series of reactive force field molecular dynamics (ReaxFF MD) simulations is performed to investigate C6F12O pyrolysis. Six initial pyrolysis reaction pathways are determined mainly through fission of the C–C bond of C6F12O. The terminal C–C bond dissociation forming the CF3 radical occurs prior to that of those at the other positions. High-energy C–F and C=O bonds are broken at high temperatures and CF3 and F radical chain reactions. CF4, C2F2 and COF2 are the main pyrolysis products, while other products including C2F6, C3F8, F2 and C2OF6 are also observed in the simulations. The environmental impacts, toxicity and corrosiveness of these products need to be further evaluated. The whole C6F12O pyrolysis process is endothermic except for certain bonding reactions. COF2 is largely generated through a combination of the F and COF radicals and COF3 defluorination. First-order kinetic analysis of C6F12O pyrolysis is also performed and the pre-exponential factor and apparent activation energy of C6F12O are calculated.
Crustal Heating and Quiescent Emission from Transiently Accreting Neutron Stars

description: Nuclear reactions occurring deep in the crust of a transiently accreting neutron star efficiently maintain the core at a temperature >5e7 K. When accretion halts, the envelope relaxes to a thermal equilibrium set by the flux from the hot core, as if the neutron star were newly born. For the time-averaged accretion rates typical of low-mass X-ray transients, standard neutrino cooling is unimportant and the core thermally re-radiates the deposited heat. The resulting luminosity has the same magnitude as that observed from several transient neutron stars in quiescence. Confirmation of this mechanism would strongly constrain rapid neutrino cooling mechanisms for neutron stars. Thermal emission had previously been dismissed as a predominant source of quiescent emission since blackbody spectral fits implied an emitting area much smaller than a neutron star's surface. However, as with thermal emission from radio pulsars, fits with realistic emergent spectra will imply a substantially larger emitting area. Other emission mechanisms, such as accretion or a pulsar shock, can also operate in quiescence and generate intensity and spectral variations over short timescales. Indeed, quiescent accretion may produce gravitationally redshifted metal photoionization edges in the quiescent spectra (detectable with AXAF and XMM). We discuss past observations of Aql~X-1 and note that the low luminosity X-ray sources in globular clusters and the Be star/X-ray transients are excellent candidates for future study.

description: We use the Jaffe model as a global mass distribution for the Galaxy and determine the circular velocity $v_c$ and the Jaffe radius $r_j$ using the satellites of the Galaxy, estimates of the local escape velocity of stars, the constraints imposed by the known rotation curve of the disk, and the Local Group timing model. The models include the systematic uncertainties in the isotropy of the satellite orbits, the form of the stellar distribution function near the escape velocity, and the ellipticity of the M31/Galaxy orbit. If we include the Local Group timing constraint, then Leo I is bound, $v_c=230\pm30\kms$, and $r_j=180$ kpc (110 kpc $\ltorder r_j \ltorder $ 300 kpc) at 90\% confidence. The satellite orbits are nearly isotropic with $β=1-σ_θ^2/σ_r^2=0.07$ ($-0.7 \ltorder β\ltorder 0.6$) and the stellar distribution function near the escape velocity is $f(ε)\propto ε^k$ with $k_r=3.7$ ($0.8 \ltorder k_r \ltorder 7.6$) where $k_r=k+5/2$. While not an accurate measurement of $k$, it is consistent with models of violent relaxation ($k=3/2$). The mass inside 50 kpc is $(5.4\pm1.3)\times 10^{11} M_\odot$. Higher mass models require that M31 is on its second orbit and that the halo is larger than the classical tidal limit of the binary. Such models must have a significant fraction of the Local Group mass in an extended Local Group halo. Lower mass models require that both M31 and Leo I are unbound, but there is no plausible mechanism to produce the observed deviations of M31 and Leo I from their expected velocities in an unbound system. If we do not use the Local Group timing model, the median mass of the Galaxy {\it increases} significantly, and the error bars broaden. Using only the satellite, escape velocity, and disk rotation curve constraints, the

Distribution of Spectral Characteristics and the Cosmological Evolution of GRBs

description: We investigate the cosmological evolution of GRBs, using the total gamma ray fluence as a measure of the burst strength. This involves an understanding of the distributions of the spectral parameters of GRBs as well as the total fluence distribution - both of which are subject to detector selection effects. We present new non-parametric statistical techniques to account for these effects, and use these methods to estimate the true distribution of the peak of the nu F_nu spectrum, E_p, from the raw distribution. The distributions are obtained from four channel data and therefore are rough estimates. Here, we emphasize the methods and present qualitative results. Given its spectral parameters, we then calculate the total fluence for each burst, and compute its cumulative and differential distributions. We use these distributions to estimate the cosmological rate evolution of GRBs, for three cosmological models. Our two main conclusions are the following: 1) Given our estimates of the spectral parameters, we find that there may exist a significant population of high E_p bursts that are not detected by BATSE, 2) We find a GRB co-moving rate density quite different from that of other extragalactic objects; in particular, it is different from the recently determined star formation rate.

On the protocol dependence of plasticity in ultra-stable amorphous solids

description: While perfect crystals may exhibit a purely elastic response to shear all the way to yielding, the response of amorphous solids is punctuated by plastic events. The prevalence of this plasticity depends on the number of particles $N$ of the system, with the average strain interval before the first plastic event, $\overline{Δγ}$, scaling like $N^α$ with $α$ negative: larger samples are more susceptible to plasticity due to more numerous disorder-induced soft spots. In this paper we examine this scaling relation in ultra-stable glasses prepared with the Swap Monte Carlo algorithm, with regard to the possibility of protocol-dependent scaling exponent, which would also imply a protocol dependence in the distribution of local yield stresses in the glass. We show that, while a superficial analysis seems to corroborate this hypothesis, this is only a pre-asymptotic effect and in fact our data can be well explained by a simple model wherein such protocol dependence is absent.

description: An algorithmic limit of compressed sensing or related variable-selection problems is analytically evaluated when a design matrix is given by an overcomplete random matrix. The replica method from statistical mechanics is employed to derive the result. The analysis is conducted through evaluation of the entropy, an exponential rate of the number of combinations of variables giving a specific value of fit error to given data which is assumed to be generated from a linear process using the design matrix. This yields the typical achievable limit of the fit error when solving a representative $\ell_0$ problem and includes the presence of unfavourable phase transitions preventing local search algorithms from reaching the minimum-error configuration. The associated phase diagrams are presented. A noteworthy outcome of the phase diagrams is that there exists a wide parameter region where any phase transition is absent from the high temperature to the lowest temperature at which the minimum-error configuration or the ground state is reached. This implies that certain local search algorithms can find the ground state with moderate computational costs in that region. Another noteworthy result is the presence of the random first-order transition in the strong noise case. The theoretical evaluation of the entropy is confirmed by extensive numerical methods using the exchange Monte Carlo and the multi-histogram methods. Another numerical test based on a metaheuristic optimisation algorithm called simulated annealing is conducted, which well supports the theoretical predictions on the local search algorithms. In the successful region with no phase transition, the computational cost of the simulated annealing to reach the ground state is estimated as the third order polynomial of the model dimensionality.

description: Hypoxia, a critical feature during cancer development, leads to the stabilization and activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) to drive the expression of many target genes which in turn can promote many aspects of breast cancer biology, mainly metastasis and resistance to therapy. MicroRNAs are known to modulate the expression of many genes involved in breast cancer tumorigenesis. In this study, we examined the regulatory effect of miRNAs on HIF1α expression. MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 were cultivated under normoxia or hypoxia conditions. TaqMan-Low Density Array (TLDA) was used to characterize the miRNA signatures. Wild-Type (WT) or mutated fragments of HIF-1α 3’UTR containing the miR-138 potential target site were cloned downstream of the Renilla luciferase gene in the psiCHECK-1 plasmid. Luciferase assays were then carried out. A lentiviral vector containing copGFP as a reporter gene was prepared and transduced into MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells to assess the effect of identified deregulated miRNAs on HIF-1α expression. Under hypoxic conditions, MCF-7 cells showed deregulated expression for 12 miRNAs. In the case of MDA-MB-231 cells, 16 miRNAs were deregulated in response to hypoxia. Interestingly, miR-138 that was downregulated in both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells cultivated under hypoxic conditions appeared to have a binding site in 3’UTR of HIF-1α. Moreover, our results indicated that miR-138 could down regulate HIF-1α expression, upon binding directly to its 3’UTR. Interestingly, our data highlights miR-138 as a potential therapeutic target to reduce HIF-1α expression and subsequently restrain breast cancer invasion and metastasis.
Advanced DNA assembly strategies and standards for synthetic biology
Creators: name: Casini, Arturo
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: DNA assembly is a fundamental enabling technology for synthetic biology, yet it is also extremely unreliable, expensive and time-consuming. The process usually requires a significant part of total time and effort that can be dedicated to a project, reducing the resources available for the rest of the research, and is also frequently subject to unexpected problems, introducing an undesirable element of unpredictability that might compromise an entire project. This thesis describes the development of three DNA assembly tools that aim to facilitate and speed up synthetic biology research: “MODAL” is a fast and easy to use assembly strategy that brings the advantages of standardisation and modularity to the latest-generation long overlap-based DNA assembly techniques. “Linker” is a software tool that generates DNA sequences specifically optimised to act as high-efficiency homology regions in long overlap-based DNA assembly reactions. Finally with “BASIC” we propose a new DNA assembly standard that incorporates the advances of MODAL and Linker and brings an additional series of improvements in an original assembly workflow. BASIC aims first of all to make DNA assembly significantly more reliable by addressing and/or removing all the unpredictability elements. It also maintains the speed, ease of use and flexibility of MODAL while achieving the same or better efficiency than the best currently available DNA assembly techniques and standards.

La mujer de los perros by Nancy Guzmán, stressing facticity, that is the symbiosis between verifiable and imagined elements, which implies a renewal of the character of testimonial literature and enables a reading of these works beyond the format of journalistic investigation. This factitious receptacle allows to evince the common direction of both texts: in dissimilar contexts of politic violence, such as the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet in Chile and Hugo Chávez Frías regime in Venezuela, power sets in motion a “mythological machine of the victim”, with the aim of creating subjectivities related to their ideology and with the its purpose of making eternal a truth that ends up being a simulacrum of it.

We construct Hilbert spaces of functions on the time scale and show how to construct a chain of intertwined first order $Δ$-difference operators $\mathcal A_k$ in the sense that $\mathcal A_k$ and $\mathcal A_k^*$ act as ladder operators generating new solutions of eigenproblem of $\mathcal A_k\mathcal A_k^*$.

description: We present new high-resolution, high signal-to-noise optical spectra of HD 77581, the optical counterpart of the X-ray source Vela X-1, and determine radial velocities from these spectra, as well as from high-resolution IUE spectra and from digitized photographic spectra. The measured velocities show strong deviations from a pure Keplerian radial-velocity curve, which are autocorrelated within one night, but not from one night to another. Since lines of different ions exhibit very similar changes in profile, these deviations most likely reflect large-scale motions of the stellar surface akin to non-radial pulsations. A possible cause could be that the varying tidal force exerted by the neutron star in its eccentric orbit excites high-order pulsation modes in the optical star which interfere constructively for short time intervals. The effect of such velocity excursions on the orbital solution is estimated by means of a Monte-Carlo simulation technique. We investigate sources of systematic error, due to, e.g., the tidal deformation of the star, and find, in particular, evidence for a systematic perturbation of the radial velocity near the time of velocity minimum. This possible distortion severely compromises the accuracy of the radial-velocity amplitude, leading to a 95\% confidence range of 18.0--28.2\,\kms. The corresponding 95\% confidence limits of the masses are given by $\MX=1.9_{-0.5}^{+0.7}\,\Msun$ and $\Mopt=23.5_{-1.5}^{+2.2}\,\Msun$.

Studies of the aetiopathogenesis of pouchitis
Creators: name: Landy, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The ileal pouch offers a unique opportunity to study the inter-relationships between the gut microbiota, barrier function and host immune responses. Intestinal dendritic cells (DC) are pivotal in the maintenance of gut immune homeostasis. Impaired barrier function due to altered cell to cell junctions, enables interactions between the microbiota and host immune responses prior to the onset of inflammation and epithelial damage. The role of innate immune factors in pouchitis remains unclear. We performed cross sectional and longitudinal studies of patients following restorative proctocolectomy and assessed DC and tight junction protein (TJP) characteristics in the ileal pouch. Increased expression of the “pore-forming” claudin 2 was an early event in the development of pouch inflammation and aberrant DC expression of gut homing markers was characterised in the ileum and ileal pouch of ulcerative colitis patients without inflammation. DC phenotype in pouchitis suggested an activated innate immune response to microbial signals. Intestinal immune responses may be manipulated by modification of the gut microbiota. An emerging approach is transplantation of the entire “organ” of the gut microbiota. Effects of faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on recipient microbiota and immune responses in inflammatory bowel diseases are unknown. A single nasogastrically delivered FMT from a healthy donor to patients with chronic pouchitis, resulted in some shift in the composition of the microbiota, with specific changes in the abundance of species suggestive of a “healthier” pouch microbiota. However, microbiota engraftment success varied greatly between recipients and regardless of engraftment success, FMT did not result in immunological response or clinical efficacy. In conclusion, aberrant DC and TJP characteristics are associated with inflammation of the ileal pouch. Manipulation of the microbiota by FMT may be one means of modifying DC and TJP expression in the ileal pouch. However, these factors were not influenced by a single nasogastrically delivered FMT.

description: We analyze the currently available observations of X-ray binaries in a consistent way, to re-determine the masses of the neutron stars in these systems. In particular, our attention is focussed on a realistic and consistent assessment of observational uncertainties and sources of systematic error. Confidence limits for these new mass estimates are generally less optimistic than previously assumed. The available observations, including data on six radio pulsars, do not firmly constrain the equation of state of neutron star matter. In particular, a firm upper mass limit cannot yet be established. An improvement of the accuracy of optical data holds the key to further progress.

description: We study the run length function for intermittency maps. In particular, we show that the longest consecutive zero digits (resp. one digits) having a time window of polynomial (resp. logarithmic) length. Our proof is relatively elementary in the sense that it only relies on the classical Borel-Cantelli lemma and the polynomial decay of intermittency maps. Our results are compensational to the Erdős-Rényi law obtained by Denker and Nicol in \cite{dennic13}.

description: We have analyzed the broad absorption line system of the bright (V=16.5) high-redshift (z=2.361) QSO SBS1542+541 using UV spectra from the HST FOS along with optical data from the MMT and the Steward Observatory 2.3m telescope. These spectra give continuous wavelength coverage from 1200 to 8000 Angstroms, corresponding to 340 to 2480 Angstroms in the QSO rest frame. This object therefore offers a rare opportunity to study broad absorption lines in the rest-frame extreme UV. We find that the absorption system is dominated by very high-ionization species, including O VI, NeVIII, and SiXII. We also identify apparently saturated broad Lyman-series lines of order Ly-gamma and higher. There is strong evidence for partial occultation of the QSO emission source, particularly from the higher-order Lyman lines which indicate a covered fraction less than 0.2. Overall, the data suggest a correlation between a larger covered fraction and a higher state of ionization. We suggest that the different covered fractions can be explained by either a special line of sight through a disk-like geometry or by the existence of density fluctuations of a factor >2 in the BAL gas. Our photoionization models of the system indicate a large column density and high ionization state similar to that found in X-ray ``warm absorbers''.

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics studies of heap leaching hydrodynamics and thermal transport
Creators: name: Parameswaran, Gopalkrishnan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This thesis is concerned with the development and application of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) models for studying multiphase flows such as those relevant to the analysis of the hydrodynamics and thermal transport involved in heap leaching. The improvements made here to the modelling aspects of multiphase SPH are seen to bring about measurable improvements to solution quality. A relative density formulation and a “compressibility-matching” method for handling interfaces eliminate what would otherwise be significant obstacles to obtaining stable and smooth pressure fields. The convergence properties of the formulation are seen to approach the theoretically expected value in SPH. Convergence is also seen to strongly depend on the smoothing length factor used. A factor found to influence error magnitudes that nevertheless does not affect convergence rates is the extent of initial particle disorder. The simplified cases representative of heap leaching hydrodynamics studied through 2D simulations allow an understanding of flow at the particle scale. The significant dependence of mean flow rates in these systems on particle sizes, saturation and contact angle is shown. In 3D, saturated flows through packed beds of spherical particles are presented. Steady-state superficial velocities obtained through simulations, compared with analytical relationships given by Cozeny-Karman and Ergun relations are illustrative of the ability of SPH to reproduce packed bed flows satisfactorily. Subsequently unsaturated regimes encountered at the channel scale are studied qualitatively for saturation values typical of real heaps. A heat transfer model based on a formulation for single-phase SPH developed by Szewc et al. is implemented. The model’s performance (in terms of Rayleigh numbers indicative of transition to unsteady convection in differentially heated cavities (DHCs)) is satisfactory when compared with the established single-phase results of Le Quere. Its application to an idealised unsaturated scenario demonstrates its useability for multiphase studies. Finally, an extension is made to the model to account for turbulent regime heat transport. This extension, deriving from one used for finite elements by Chatelain et al. is novel in the SPH context and lets the loss of stratification seen in DHCs at high Rayleigh numbers be predicted with reasonable accuracy.
On the Indicative Imperfect and the Other Tenses in -eɾ of the Armenian Dialect of Urmia
Creators: name: Scala, Andrea
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

In the Armenian dialect of Urmia (Northern Iran), the indicative imperfect displays a very innovating inflection, based on the addition of the morpheme ‘-eɾ’ (properly the imperfect 3s of the verb ‘to beʼ) to the indicative present. This morpheme of ‘remotenessʼ creates opposition between other tenses as well, such as perfect and pluperfect, future and past future. The article deals with the reconstruction of the origin and diffusion of this innovating morpheme in the verbal system of the Armenian dialect of Urmia, focusing both on endogenous morphological dynamics and on the role of language contact with Turkic varieties as a trigger of this morphological change.

description: We study the Landau-Zener transitions generalized to multistate systems. Based on the work by Sinitsyn et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 190402 (2018)], we introduce the auxiliary Hamiltonians that are interpreted as the counterdiabatic terms. We find that the counterdiabatic Hamiltonians satisfy the zero curvature condition. The general structures of the auxiliary Hamiltonians are studied in detail and the time-evolution operator is evaluated by using a deformation of the integration contour and asymptotic forms of the auxiliary Hamiltonians. For several spin models with transverse field, we calculate the transition probability between the initial and final ground states and find that the method is useful to study nonadiabatic regime.
