description: Remarks on Odiomaris aff. pilosus from the Iouanga River and two other streams
A lot of specimens obtained belatedly in the course of our research poses a problem: collected in the Iouanga River on 17 November 2016 (see Fig. 10) (MNHN-IU- 2018-2999) and previously identified to Odiomaris pilosus, they split into two species: four males are certainly O. pilosus, but about twenty individuals of various sizes (a few males and a larger number of females) do not correspond either to this species or to Richerius marqueti gen. et sp. nov.; nor is it identifiable with Odiomaris estuarius. The same unidentified species was found in another stream of the North Province and is believed to inhabit another stream in the South Province (Fig. 10) (manuscript in progress).

description: We show how the hopping parameter expansion at order $κ^2$ and $κ^4$ can be exploited in the simulation of lattice QCD with two flavours of degenerate Wilson fermions. A natural extension of this idea is a "UV-filtering" by using rooted polynomials. These approaches can be easily combined with, for example, mass preconditioning. First numerical tests are performed for the Wilson gauge action at $β=5.6$ and $κ=0.156$ and $0.1575$.

Pre-war grievances and violence against civilians in civil wars. Evidence from the Spanish Civil War in Catalonia.
Creators: name: Herreros, Francisco

Publisher: name: International Journal of Conflict and Violence (IJCV)
Year: 2018

description: This article claims that the role of pre-war grievances as a predictor of violence against civilians in civil wars may have been systematically underestimated because the “grievance hypothesis” has not been properly tested. Pre-war grievances can only affect civilian victimization in civil wars if they have been intensely mobilized in the period close to the outbreak of the conflict and if there is a temporary collapse of state capacity. This article presents a “fair test” of the grievance hypothesis. It analyses in depth a specific case of a pre-war grievance that met these two conditions. This case is the conflict around land property rights in Catalonia before the Spanish Civil War and its effects on violence against civilians during the war. The results show a non-negligible effect of pre-war grievances on civilian victimization.

In this model the pion structure function can be predicted from the known nucleon structure function. We find that the data support the model, at least as a good first approximation.

description: Nanoparticle monolayer sheets are ultrathin inorganic-organic hybrid materials that combine highly controllable optical and electrical properties with mechanical flexibility and remarkable strength. Like other thin sheets, their low bending rigidity allows them to easily roll into or conform to cylindrical geometries. Nanoparticle monolayers not only can bend, but also cope with strain through local particle rearrangement and plastic deformation. This means that, unlike thin sheets such as paper or graphene, nanoparticle sheets can much more easily conform to surfaces with complex topography characterized by non-zero Gaussian curvature, like spherical caps or saddles. Here, we investigate the limits of nanoparticle monolayers' ability to conform to substrates with Gaussian curvature by stamping nanoparticle sheets onto lattices of larger polystyrene spheres. Tuning the local Gaussian curvature by increasing the size of the substrate spheres, we find that the stamped sheet morphology evolves through three characteristic stages: from full substrate coverage, where the sheet extends over the interstices in the lattice, to coverage in the form of caps that conform tightly to the top portion of each sphere and fracture at larger polar angles, to caps that exhibit radial folds. Through analysis of the nanoparticle positions, obtained from scanning electron micrographs, we extract the local strain tensor and track the onset of strain-induced dislocations in the particle arrangement. By considering the interplay of energies for elastic and plastic deformations and adhesion, we construct arguments that capture the observed changes in sheet morphology as Gaussian curvature is tuned over two orders of magnitude.

description: Mutual diffusion of six hydrocarbons (methane, ethane, isobutane, benzene, toluene or naphthalene) diluted in supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) is studied by molecular dynamics simulation near the Widom line, i.e., in the temperature range from 290 to 345 K along the isobar 9 MPa. The CO2+ aromatics mixtures are additionally sampled at 10 and 12 MPa and an experimental database with Fick diffusion coefficient data for those systems is provided. Taylor dispersion experiments of CO2 with benzene, toluene, n‑dodecane and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene are conducted along the p = 10 MPa isobar. Maxwell–Stefan and Fick diffusion coefficients are analyzed, together with the thermodynamic factor that relates them. It is found that the peculiar behavior of the Fick diffusion coefficient of some CO 2 mixtures in the extended critical region is a consequence of the thermodynamic factor minimum due to pronounced clustering on the molecular scale. Further, the strong dependence of the Fick diffusion coefficient on the molecular mass of the solute as well as the breakdown of the Stokes–Einstein relation near the Widom line are confirmed. Eleven correlations for the prediction of the Fick diffusion coefficient of CO2 mixtures are assessed. An alternative two-step approach for the prediction of the infinite dilution Fick diffusion coefficient of supercritical CO2 mixtures is proposed. It requires only the state point in terms of temperature and pressure (or density) as well as the molecular solute mass as input parameters. First, entropy scaling is applied to estimate the self-diffusion coefficient of CO2. Subsequently, this coefficient is used to determine the infinite dilution Fick diffusion coefficient of the mixture, based on the finding that these two diffusion coefficients exhibit a linear relationship, where the slope depends only on the molecular solute mass.
Violence in Place: Reading Violence through Kincentric Ecology
Creators: name: Kearney, Amanda
Publisher: name: International Journal of Conflict and Violence (IJCV)
Year: 2018

description: This article explores violence in place, with the intent to more broadly configure the notion of violence within sociological and anthropological discourse. So too it strives to expand the field of inquiry into the effects of human-induced violence on the place world, as made up of homelands, villages, communities, and ancestral realms. Throughout the discussion links are drawn between three particular forms of violence and their harmful effects on place: the physical destruction of place, the de-signification and social disordering of place identity and character, and elemental decay as ecological decline and toxicity in place. I argue that particular epistemic habits and dispositions allow for such violence to be carried out, in the pursuit of power, authority, land, and resources. Furthermore, other epistemic habits and dispositions, namely those provided for by Indigenous epistemologies, might present pathways out from unmitigated violence and towards practices of refrain and axiological return. I propose that this is achievable through a return to kincentricity, as expressed through human responsibility over rights, and recognition of place agency and sentiency as expressed through local empiricism.

Active Detection for Resilient Cyber-Physical Systems

subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: Cyber-physical systems (CPS) face tremendous threats in modern society. Indeed their presence in
critical infrastructures such as transportation, energy delivery, and health care make such systems a
target of malevolent entities while their complexity, connectivity, and heterogeneity offer surfaces
for attackers to leverage. One important aim of potential attackers is to remain stealthy. An attacker
that avoids detection is able to disrupt CPS for long periods of time, without having to worry about
defender interference, allowing an adversary to potentially maximize their impact. Intelligent
attackers can leverage their system knowledge, disruption resources, and disclosure resources to
impart critical damage to systems, all the while remaining stealthy.
In this dissertationwe consider the development of active methods to detect intelligent, powerful,
and malicious adversaries in cyber-physical systems. While standard attack detection involves
producing intelligent algorithms to process information about a system, active detection involves
the intelligent design and modification of the inputs, parameters, and structure of a system in
order to impede an adversary’s ability to generate stealthy attacks. This thesis will propose several
methods for active detection in cyber-physical systems.
We will first consider the design of secret random perturbations at the control input, which we
term as physical watermarking. We will evaluate this approach against both replay attacks and
model aware adversaries. Next, we will consider how naturally occurring stochastic phenomena
in a CPS can be utilized for the purposes of active detection. Specifically, we will evaluate how
packet drops at the control input can act as an environmental watermark for the benefit of security.
Then, we will consider how changing parameters of the plant itself can be used to thwart otherwise
model aware attackers. We term this the moving target approach. Two designs are explored.
We will consider a switched system model where parameters of the plant are directly changed.
Alternatively, we evaluate an authenticating subsystem model where we use an extended system
to detect attacks on the CPS under consideration. The moving target involves online changes to
the system. Instead, we can consider robust offline design. In particular, we use structural system theory to analyze and design distributed control systems, which can not be targeted by a class of stealthy attacks. To conclude, motivated by studies in software security, we explore how tools of information flow analysis can be used for the analysis and design of active detection techniques.
Law Students’ Judgments of a Rape Victim’s Statement: The Role of Displays of Emotion and Acceptance of Sexual Aggression Myths

Publisher: name: International Journal of Conflict and Violence (IJCV)
Year: 2018

description: Female rape victims who display “appropriate” emotions (versus “inappropriate” or no emotions) are often judged to be more credible. The authors studied the interplay of different emotion displays with perceivers’ acceptance of modern myths about sexual aggression (AMMSA) in predicting judgments of credibility and blame. Law students (N = 120) completed a 16-item AMMSA scale and watched a video showing a simulated interview with a rape victim (played by an actress). The emotion displayed by the victim (sad, angry, or neutral) was experimentally manipulated; her statement’s verbal content was held constant. Main dependent variables were perceived victim credibility, victim blame, severity of the injury, and likelihood of recovery. Results showed that AMMSA strongly predicted all dependent variables across conditions. Effects of displayed emotions were less pervasive and depended on participants’ gender and AMMSA: At higher (vs. lower) levels of AMMSA, women – but not men – judged the sad victim’s statement to be most credible, and the angry victim’s statement to be least credible, with the neutral statement falling in between. The findings suggest that perceivers may be better at keeping their judgements free from unwanted external influences (the emotional displays) than unwanted internal influences (their own AMMSA). The authors discuss future directions regarding the mechanisms involved and practical implications for the legal context.

description: Electrochemical conversion of organic compounds holds promise for advancing sustainable synthesis and catalysis. This study explored electrochemical carbonyl hydrogenation on single-site M–N–C (Metal Nitrogen-doped Carbon) catalysts using formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acetone as model reactants. We strive to correlate and understand the selectivity dependence on the nature of the metal centers. Density Functional Theory calculations revealed similar binding energetics for carbonyl groups through oxygen-down or carbon-down adsorption due to oxygen and carbon scaling. Fe–N–C exhibited specific oxyphilicity and could selectively reduce aldehydes to hydrocarbons. By contrast, the carbophilic Co–N–C selectively converted acetaldehyde and acetone to ethanol and 2-propanol, respectively. We claim that the oxyphilicity of the active sites and consequent adsorption geometry (oxygen-down vs. carbon-down) are crucial in controlling product selectivity. These findings offer mechanistic insights into electrochemical carbonyl hydrogenation and can guide the development of efficient and sustainable electrocatalytic valorization of biomass-derived compounds.

description: Quantitative climate and conflict research has thus far considered the role of biophysical extreme weather impacts in conflict dynamics only to a limited extent. We do not fully understand if and if so how, extreme weather impacts can improve conflict predictions. Addressing this gap, we use the Generalized Random Forest (GRF) algorithm to evaluate whether detailed information on extreme weather impacts improves conflict forecasts made with well known conflict predictors such as socio-economic, governance, and history of conflict indicators. We integrate data on biophysical extreme weather impacts such as droughts, floods, crop production shocks, and tropical cyclones from the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project 2a (ISIMIP2a) project into predictive models of conflict in mainland Africa between 1994 and 2012. While we find that while extreme weather impacts alone predict violent conflicts modestly well, socio-economic and conflict history indicators remain the strongest individual predictors of conflicts. Finally, fully specified forecast models including conflict history, governance, and socio-economic variables are not improved by adding extreme weather impacts information. Some part of this can be explained by spatial correlations between extreme weather impacts and other socioeconomic and governance conditions. We conclude that extreme weather impacts do not contain any unique information for forecasting annual conflict incidence in Africa, which calls into question its usefulness for early warning.
The Relationship between Homicide and Suicide: A narrative and conceptual review of violent death
Creators: name: Bills, Corey B
Publisher: name: International Journal of Conflict and Violence (IJCV)
Year: 2017

description: In this paper, we provide a narrative review of the theoretical discourse and empiric research on the relationship between homicide and suicide.Understanding of homicide and suicide has evolved from religious condemnation during the Middle Ages, to medicalization in the 1800s, and socialization in the 1900s. There is a long historical tradition of treating homicide and suicide as a single phenomenon. Contemporary thought, the stream analogy, posits that homicide and suicide are acts of violence, differentiated only by the direction of aggression. Empiric research has provided modest evidence supporting the stream analogy theory. A more comprehensive framework that incorporates cultural domains is needed to advance the research field on homicide and suicide.

When Suicide Kills: An Empirical Analysis of the Lethality of Suicide Terrorism
Creators: name: Alakoc, Burcu Pinar
Publisher: name: International Journal of Conflict and Violence (IJCV)
Year: 2017

description: Why are some suicide terrorist attacks deadlier than others? Suicide bombers, unlike stationary bombs, are self-guided human weapons; they can deliver and detonate explosives at a specific time and place with precision. Coding and analyzing new data on over four hundred suicide terrorist incidents from all around the world between 1998 and 2015, this paper argues that the number of fatalities resulting from suicide attacks is a function of strategic choices made by the perpetrators, such as where to attack and whom to target. Results of this analysis show that suicide attacks that seize targets of opportunity are the most lethal. Specifically, suicide attacks that target civilians in enclosed and easily accessible places, and that are undertaken by multiple perpetrators result in the highest numbers of fatalities. Understanding these strategic tactical attributes of suicide terrorism is fundamental to devising effective counterterrorism strategies that aim at hardening soft targets and minimizing the lethal impact of these attacks.

description: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of terrorism-induced fear on employee job attitudes and absenteeism in the weeks following the Army Public School attack in Peshawar, Pakistan. The paper is based on questionnaire data collected from 204 faculty members of public sector universities in Peshawar using snowball sampling technique. We applied partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the entire impact path and found substantial support for our hypotheses. The results suggest that fear of terrorism affects absenteeism directly, as well as indirectly via job attitudes. Further, perceived organizational support is found to attenuate the negative relationship between fear of terrorism and job attitudes. Very few studies have examined the impact of societal variables such as national traumatic events on jobrelated outcomes.

description: Empirical studies have repeatedly shown that journalists’ role orientations (i.e., their attitudes, values) are reflected in the news (i.e., their role performance). Methodologically, such studies either ask journalists whether they perceive their own professional role in accordance with common conceptualizations (e.g., being a watchdog), or they search for journalistic roles in the news through content analyses, or apply combined approaches. However, methodologically, this decomposition of news has been primarily confirmatory in nature with the goal to find journalistic roles in the news. We therefore develop and empirically explore an alternative bottom-up approach to news content. Applying latent class analysis to an existing dataset from 16 Western democracies that includes 23 different, role-independent content indicators for political news shows that news composition types correspond well with six journalistic roles (informational-instructive; analytical-deliberative; critical-monitorial; advocative-radical; developmental-educative; collaborative-facilitative). If combined with existing confirmatory approaches, this methodological alternative could triangulate pitfalls of this line of research.

description: Efficient high-performance libraries often expose multiple tunable parameters to provide highly optimized routines. These can range from simple loop unroll factors or vector sizes all the way to algorithmic changes, given that some implementations can be more suitable for certain devices by exploiting hardware characteristics such as local memories and vector units. Traditionally, such parameters and algorithmic choices are tuned and then hard-coded for a specific architecture and for certain characteristics of the inputs. However, emerging applications are often data-driven, thus traditional approaches are not effective across the wide range of inputs and architectures used in practice. In this paper, we present a new adaptive framework for data-driven applications which uses a predictive model to select the optimal algorithmic parameters by training with synthetic and real datasets. We demonstrate the effectiveness of a BLAS library and specifically on its matrix multiplication routine. We present experimental results for two GPU architectures and show significant performance gains of up to 3x (on a high-end NVIDIA Pascal GPU) and 2.5x (on an embedded ARM Mali GPU) when compared to a traditionally optimized library.

A Cutoff Constrained by the Oblique Parameters in Electroweak Theory with Two Massless Higgs Doublets

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

description: Electroweak theory with two massless Higgs doublets is studied by solving renormalization group equations for coupling constants in one-loop approximation. A cutoff~$Λ$, at which one of quartic couplings in the Higgs potential blows up, is obtained by imposing constraints from the oblique parameter $T$ on the quartic couplings at low energy. We find $Λ\simeq 0.52\sim 8.4$~TeV at the Higgs mass $M_H=100$ GeV. The cutoff $Λ$ is at most about $60$ TeV even if we take into account the LEP lower bound of $M_H\simeq 64$ GeV. It cannot reach the Planck or GUT scale due to severe experimental constraints. It is impossible in the model to realize a large gauge hierarchy as suggested many years ago by S. Weinberg.

description: The apparent dependence of nuclear matter observables on off-shell properties of the two-nucleon potential is re-examined in the context of the effective field theory (EFT) approach. Finite density (thermodynamic) observables are invariant under field redefinitions, which extends the well-known theorem about the invariance of S-matrix elements. Simple examples demonstrate how field redefinitions can shift contributions between purely off-shell two-body interactions and many-body forces, leaving both scattering and finite-density observables unchanged. If only the transformed two-body potentials are kept, however, the nuclear matter binding curves will depend on the off-shell part (generating ``Coester bands''). The correspondence between field redefinitions and unitary transformations, which have traditionally been used to generate ``phase-equivalent'' nucleon-nucleon potentials, is also demonstrated.

Violence: Constructing an Emerging Field of Sociology
Creators: name: Hartmann, Eddie
Publisher: name: International Journal of Conflict and Violence (IJCV)
Year: 2017

description: Recent research in the social sciences has explicitly addressed the challenge of bringing violence back into the center of attention. This has generated substantive progress in terms of both theoretical debate and methodological approaches. However, there is a significant lack of research applying non-reductionist methodological approaches that can, at the same time, be grounded in a theoretical approach to violence as a research subject in its own right. This focus section seeks to address this research gap by strengthening the dialogue between different bodies of literature that pursue disparate strategies of delineating “violence” as the subject of an emerging field of sociology. By synthesizing these literatures, the focus section aims to draw upon insights from social theory and recent developments in the sociology of violence on the one hand, and combine methodological approaches that transcend both micro- and macro-reductionist accounts on the other. In doing so, it offers analytical perspectives for coming to terms with one of the most conspicuous shortcomings in social scientific appraisals of violence: the tendency to treat it as a primarily moral or political problem, instead of conceiving violence as a social fact.

The Demonic Genius of Politics? Social Action and the Decoupling of Politics from Violence
Creators: name: Pearce, Jenny
Publisher: name: International Journal of Conflict and Violence (IJCV)
Year: 2017

description: This paper explores why new ways of “knowing” and acting on violence could lead to a reconsideration of Weber’s pessimistic coupling of politics and violence. This coupling remains hugely influential almost a century after it was formulated. It has become possible to revisit it, firstly, because of the potential for new interdisciplinary conversations. These have opened up ways of understanding violence as a properly social phenomenon and the significance of our vulnerable, social bodies to its reproduction. Secondly, social action on violence has led to recognition as “violence” of varied acts of somatic harm previously not named as such. In the process, expressions of violence reproduced over time and through spaces of socialization (from the intimate to the construction of the nation state) are socially and politically de-sanctioned. Politics and the State could be reconceptualised as essential for reducing (rather than monopolizing) violence and creating conditions to live together without it.

description: Motivated by symmetry-protected topological phases (SPTs) with both spatial symmetry (e.g., lattice rotation) and internal symmetry (e.g., spin rotation), we propose a class of exotic topological terms, which generalize the well-known Wen-Zee topological terms of quantum Hall systems [X.-G. Wen and A. Zee, Phys. Rev. Lett. 69, 953 (1992)]. These generalized Wen-Zee terms are expressed as wedge product of spin connection and usual gauge fields (1-form or higher) in various dimensions. In order to probe SPT orders, we externally insert "symmetry twists" like domain walls of discrete internal symmetry and disclinations that are geometric defects with nontrivial Riemann curvature. Then, generalized Wen-Zee terms simply tells us how SPTs respond to those symmetry twists. Classifying these exotic topological terms thus leads to a complete classification and characterization of SPTs within the present framework. We also propose SPT low-energy field theories, from which generalized Wen-Zee terms are deduced as topological response actions. Following the Abstract of Wen-Zee paper, our work enriches alternative possibilities of condensed-matter realization of unification of electromagnetism and "gravity".

description: DNA methylation is an important way of gene regulation. The variety of methods for DNA methylation analysis based on chemical modification or enzyme digestion has been proposed. However, DNA is able to undergo transformations under physical power. Here, we report that the cytosine methylation in CpG dinucleotides determines the difference in fragmentation rate of methylated and unmethylated DNA under sonication. We found that at the beginning of sonication, methylated DNAs are degraded faster than unmethylated one, and the difference in fragmentation degree can be evaluated with high reliability by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The optimal parameters that provide the greatest difference in amount of amplifiable DNA targets corresponding to fragmentation degree are the following: moderate amplicon size (about 150–250 bp), medium CpG sparseness (one CpG dinucleotide per ∼12–14 nucleotides of the chain), and short sonication time (less than 5 min). Along with CpG, the CpA and CpT contents of amplified regions should be taken into account for proper DNA fragmentation by ultrasound as well. The obtained data could be used for elaboration of a method for comparative methylation testing, when there is no need to detect methylation of certain CpG dinucleotides. This method will be simple (can be used by any technician familiar with PCR), low cost (no need to use an expensive reagents), and fast (only brief DNA sonication and conventional qPCR are carried out).

Neutron star - white dwarf mergers: Early evolution, physical properties, and outcomes

description: Neutron-star (NS) - white-dwarf (WD) mergers may give rise to observable explosive transients, but have been little explored. We use 2D coupled hydrodynamical-thermonuclear FLASH-code simulations to study the evolution of WD debris-disks formed following WD-disruptions by NSs. We use a 19-elements nuclear-network and a detailed equation-of-state to follow the evolution, complemented by a post-process analysis using a larger 125-isotopes nuclear-network. We consider a wide range of initial conditions and study the dependence of the results on the NS/WD masses ($1.4-2{\rm M_{\odot}}$;$\,{\rm 0.375-0.7\,M_{\odot}}$, respectively), WD-composition (CO/He/hybrid-He-CO) and the accretion-disk structure. We find that viscous inflow in the disk gives rise to continuous wind-outflow of mostly C/O material mixed with nuclear-burning products arising from a weak detonation occurring in the inner-region of the disk. We find that such transients are energetically weak ($10^{48}-10^{49}$ergs) compared with thermonuclear-supernovae (SNe), and are dominated by the (gravitational) accretion-energy. Although thermonuclear-detonations occur robustly in all of our simulations (besides the He-WD) they produce only little energy $(1-10\%$ of the kinetic energy) and $^{56}{\rm Ni}$ ejecta (few$\times10^{-4}-10^{-3}{\rm M_{\odot}})$, with overall low ejecta masses of $\sim0.01-0.1{\rm M_{\odot}}$. Such explosions may produce rapidly-evolving transients, much shorter and fainter than regular type-Ia SNe. The composition and demographics of such SNe appear to be inconsistent with those of Ca-rich type Ib SNe. Though they might be related to the various classes of rapidly evolving SNe observed in recent years, they are likely to be fainter than the typical ones, and may therefore give rise a different class of potentially observable transients.

description: Rules of quantization and equations of motion for a finite-dimensional formulation of Quantum Field Theory are proposed which fulfill the following properties: a) both the rules of quantization and the equations of motion are covariant; b) the equations of evolution are second order in derivatives and first order in derivatives of the space-time co-ordinates; and c) these rules of quantization and equations of motion lead to the usual (canonical) rules of quantization and the (Schrödinger) equation of motion of Quantum Mechanics in the particular case of mechanical systems. We also comment briefly on further steps to fully develop a satisfactory quantum field theory and the difficuties which may be encountered when doing so.
