description: The secret ballot is one of the cornerstones of democracy. We contend that the historical process of modernization caused the switch from open to secret ballot with the underlying mechanism being that income growth, urbanization, and rising education standards undermined vote markets and made electoral corruption uneconomical. We undertake event history studies of ballot reform in Western Europe and the Americas during the 19th and 20th centuries to establish that modernization was systematically related to ballot reform. We study electoral turnout before and after ballot reform amongst the US states and British parliamentary constituencies to substantiate the hypothesis that modernization made vote buying uneconomical.

description: Thinner is a solvent that contains toluene, xylene, and other substances. The aim of this study was to examine the toxicity of thinner, xylene, and toluene on adult red flour beetles, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), as well as the effects of thinner and toluene on gene expression. The major compounds identified in the thinner with peak area >2% were p-xylene (6%), toluene (4%), 2,4-dimethylheptane (3%), methylcyclohexane (2.75%), 2-methylheptane (2%), cyclohexanone (2.6%), and nonane (2.1%). Insects were exposed to solvents at 0–240 µl/L air for 4–48 hr. Animals that survived after a 4 hr exposure to 80 µl/L air were employed to determine mRNA expression using real-time PCR. Xylene was highly toxic, and the majority of the beetles did not survive 4 hr exposure at 40 µl/L air. The lethal concentration 50 (LC50) values for toluene, xylene and thinner at 48 hr exposure were 97.7, <40 and 99.8 µl/L air, respectively. Thinner and toluene induced lethargy and sluggish movement in treated insects, while with xylene these effects were not observed. Glutathione-S-transferase (Gst) gene expression increased after thinner and toluene exposure. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene expression rose after toluene exposure. These results suggest that T. castaneum provides an alternative model for the study of toxicological effects of volatile aromatic compounds.

description: The zoomorphic mouth of hell is a syncretistic creation which has predominantly been traced to pre-Conquest England. This paper will argue that a distinctively English element that contributed to the emergence and evolution of this imagery can be pinpointed in the processes of metaphorical substitution and hybridization typical of both the literary languages of pre-Conquest England, Anglo-Latin and Old English, as well as of early English visual art. By reassessing the relevant evidence – both textual and figurative –, it will be shown that the very premises of the monstrous hell-mouth can be traced to two of the earliest literary attestations of both Old English and Anglo-Latin, Beowulf and the Vita S. Guthlaci, as well as to one of the earliest artifacts of English visual culture, the Repton Stone.

La bocca dell’inferno con fattezze bestiali è un’immagine sincretistica la cui origine è stata prevalentemente ricondotta all’Inghilterra pre-normanna. Secondo la tesi presentata in questo saggio, un tratto tipicamente inglese che contribuì allo sviluppo di tale immagine può essere individuato nei processi di sostituzione metaforica e di ibridazione tipica di entrambe le lingue letterarie dell’Inghilterra pre-normanna, l’antico inglese e l’anglo-latino, nonché dell’arte figurativa contemporanea. Attraverso una nuova disamina delle testimonianze sia letterarie sia figurative, si dimostrerà che le premesse della bocca dell’inferno mostruosa possono essere rintracciate nei più antichi testi letterari sia in antico inglese sia in anglo-latino, il Beowulf e la Vita S. Guthlaci, nonché in una delle prime testimonianze delle arti figurative inglesi, la Repton Stone.

description: We use our recently developed functional bosonization approach to bosonize interacting fermions in arbitrary dimension $d$ beyond the Gaussian approximation. Even in $d=1$ the finite curvature of the energy dispersion at the Fermi surface gives rise to interactions between the bosons. In higher dimensions scattering processes describing momentum transfer between different patches on the Fermi surface (around-the-corner processes) are an additional source for corrections to the Gaussian approximation. We derive an explicit expression for the leading correction to the bosonized Hamiltonian and the irreducible self-energy of the bosonic propagator that takes the finite curvature as well as around-the-corner processes into account. In the special case that around-the-corner scattering is negligible, we show that the self-energy correction to the Gaussian propagator is negligible if the dimensionless quantities $ ( \frac{q_{c} }{ k_{F}} )^d F_{0} [ 1 + F_{0} ]^{-1} \fracμ{ν^α} | \frac{ \partial ν^α }{ \partial μ} |$ are small compared with unity for all patches $α$. Here $q_{c}$ is the cutoff of the interaction in wave-vector space, $k_{F}$ is the Fermi wave-vector, $μ$ is the chemical potential, $F_{0}$ is the usual dimensionless Landau interaction-parameter, and $ν^α $ is the {\it{local}} density of states associated with patch $α$. We also show that the well known cancellation between vertex- and self-energy corrections in one-dimensional systems, which is responsible for the fact that the random-phase approximation for the density-density correlation function is exact in $d=1$, exists also in $d> 1$, provided (1) the interaction cutoff $q_{c}$ is small compared with $k_{F}$, and (2) the energy dispersion is locally linearized at the Fermi the Fermi surface. Finally, we suggest a new systematic method to calculate corrections to the RPA, which is based on the perturbative calculation of the irreducible bosonic self-energy arising from the non-Gaussian terms of the bosonized Hamiltonian.

The switching is controlled by tuning the Coulomb blockade strength via the gate voltage on the normal metal granule. The proposed mechanism allows for realizing the switching without passing a dissipative current through the structure.

description: Wholesale electricity markets use different market designs to handle congestion in the transmission network. We compare nodal, zonal and discriminatory pricing in general networks with transmission constraints and loop flows. We conclude that in large games with many producers who are allowed to participate in the real-time market the three market designs result in the same efficient dispatch. However, zonal pricing with counter-trading results in additional payments to producers in exportconstrained nodes.

description: This work is concerned with the phase diagram of Wilson fermions in the mass and coupling constant plane for two-flavor (unquenched) QCD. We show that as the continuum limit is approached, one can study the lattice theory using the continuum chiral Lagrangian, supplemented by additional terms proportional to powers of the lattice spacing. We find two possible phase structures at non-zero lattice spacing: (1) There is an Aoki phase of spontaneously broken flavor and parity, with two massless Goldstone-pions, and a width $Δm_0 \sim a^3$; (2) There is no spontaneous symmetry breaking, and all three pions have equal mass of order $a$. Present numerical simulations suggest that the former option is realized.

description: Preeclampsia is a medical condition specific to pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the woman’s urine, indicating kidney damage. It is one of the most serious reproductive conditions, posing substantial risks to the baby and potentially fatal for the mother. The causes of preeclampsia are largely unknown and environmental contaminants merit further investigation. The aim of this review was to determine the association between environmental chemical exposures and preeclampsia. PubMed was searched for articles examining a priori chemical exposures and preeclampsia through April 2018. Studies were included in our review if they included at least 10 cases, evaluated preeclampsia independent of gestational hypertension, and used either measured or modeled exposure assessments. Our review contained 28 investigations examining persistent organic pollutants (POP) (6 studies), drinking water contaminants (1 study), atmospheric pollutants (11 studies), metals and metalloids (6 studies), and other environmental contaminants (4 studies). There were an insufficient number of investigations on most chemicals to draw definitive conclusions, but strong evidence existed for an association between preeclampsia and cadmium (Cd). There is suggestive evidence for associations between nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter (PM)2.5, and traffic exposure with preeclampsia. There is evidence for an association between preeclampsia and Cd but insufficient literature to evaluate many other environmental chemicals. Additional studies using repeated measures, appropriate biological matrices, and mixtures methods are needed to expand this area of research and address the limitations of previous studies.

Mix of Normals distribution
Thermal power generation
Wind power generation.

description: Many governments who preside over liberalised energy markets are developing policies aimed at promoting investment in renewable generation whilst maintaining the level of security of supply customers have come to expect. Of particular interest is the mix and amount of generation investment over time in response to policies promoting high penetrations of variable output renewable power such as wind. Modelling the dynamics of merchant generation investment in market environments can inform the debate. Such models need improved methods to calculate expected output, costs and revenue of thermal generation subject to varying load and random independent thermal outages in a power system with high penetrations of wind. This paper presents a dynamic simulation model of the aggregated Great Britain (GB) generation investment market. The short-term energy market is simulated using probabilistic production costing based on the Mix of Normals distribution technique with a residual load calculation (load net of wind output). Price mark-ups due to market power are accounted for. These models are embedded in a dynamic model in which generation companies use a Value at Risk (VaR) criterion for investment decisions. An `energy-only' market setting is used to estimate the economic profitability of investments and forecast the evolution of security of supply. Simulated results for the GB market case study show a pattern of increased relative security of supply risk during the 2020s. In addition, fixed cost recovery for many new investments can only occur during years in which more frequent supply shortages push energy prices higher. A sensitivity analyses on a number of key model assumptions provides insight into factors affecting the simulated timing and level of generation investment. This is achieved by considering the relative change in simulated levels of security of supply risk metric such as de-rated capacity margins and expected energy unserved. The model can be used as a decision support tool in policy design, in particular how to address the increased `energy-only market revenue risk facing thermal generation, particularly peaking units, that rely on a small number of high price periods to recover fixed costs and make adequate returns on investment.

description: The Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) model and its variants are powerful graph embedding tools for facilitating classification and clustering on graphs. However, a major challenge is to reduce the complexity of layered GCNs and make them parallelizable and scalable on very large graphs -- state-of the art techniques are unable to achieve scalability without losing accuracy and efficiency. In this paper, we propose novel parallelization techniques for graph sampling-based GCNs that achieve superior scalable performance on very large graphs without compromising accuracy. Specifically, our GCN guarantees work-efficient training and produces order of magnitude savings in computation and communication. To scale GCN training on tightly-coupled shared memory systems, we develop parallelization strategies for the key steps in training: For the graph sampling step, we exploit parallelism within and across multiple sampling instances, and devise an efficient data structure for concurrent accesses that provides theoretical guarantee of near-linear speedup with number of processing units. For the feature propagation step within the sampled graph, we improve cache utilization and reduce DRAM communication by data partitioning. We prove that our partitioning strategy is a 2-approximation for minimizing the communication time compared to the optimal strategy. We demonstrate that our parallel graph embedding outperforms state-of-the-art methods in scalability (with respect to number of processors, graph size and GCN model size), efficiency and accuracy on several large datasets. On a 40-core Xeon platform, our parallel training achieves $64\times$ speedup (with AVX) in the sampling step and $25\times$ speedup in the feature propagation step, compared to the serial implementation, resulting in a net speedup of $21\times$.

description: During Drosophila melanogaster embryogenesis, tight regulation of gene expression in time and space is required for the orderly emergence of specific cell types. While the general importance of microRNAs in regulating eukaryotic gene expression has been well-established, their role in early neurogenesis remains to be addressed. In this survey, we investigate the transcriptional dynamics of microRNAs and their target transcripts during neurogenesis of Drosophila melanogaster. To this end, we use the recently developed DIV-MARIS protocol, a method for enriching specific cell types from the Drosophila embryo in vivo, to sequence cell type-specific transcriptomes. We generate dedicated small and total RNA-seq libraries for neuroblasts, neurons and glia cells at early (6–8 h after egg laying (AEL)) and late (18–22 h AEL) stage. This allows us to directly compare these transcriptomes and investigate the potential functional roles of individual microRNAs with spatiotemporal resolution genome-wide, which is beyond the capabilities of existing in situ hybridization methods. Overall, we identify 74 microRNAs that are significantly differentially expressed between the three cell types and the two developmental stages. In all cell types, predicted target genes of down-regulated microRNAs show a significant enrichment of Gene Ontology terms related to neurogenesis. We also investigate how microRNAs regulate the transcriptome by targeting transcription factors and find many candidate microRNAs with putative roles in neurogenesis. Our survey highlights the roles of microRNAs as regulators of differentiation and glioneurognesis in the fruit fly and provides distinct starting points for dedicated functional follow-up studies.

CO2 Emissions
Electricity Demand Management

description: The UK government has set the ambitious targets of 20 and 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and 2050 respectively. The transport sector accounts for 21% of total CO2 emissions in the UK and can, therefore, be important for achieving the emissions reduction targets. Within the transport sector, electric vehicles (EV) are considered as one of the important mitigation options. However the effect of EVs on emissions and the electricity sector is subject to debate. We use scenario analysis to investigate the emission reduction potential of EVs and their interaction with electricity sector. We show that managing the charging patterns could reduce adverse effects of EVs on the electricity sector while the number of EVs remains the factor affecting the mitigation potential. Our findings indicate that in the UK, by 2030, EVs could result in up to 32% emissions reduction compared to advanced internal combustion engines. We also found that the need for new electricity generation and distribution capacity to meet the conventional electricity demand and demand from EVs could be reduced by up to 12% from 70.6 to 61.8 GW if the EVﾒs electricity demand is managed.

Images are obtained at room temperature, in magnetically unscreened environments. By using a dedicated arrangement of the setup and active compensation of background fields, the magnetic disturbance created by the samples' magnetization is compensated. Proof-of-concept demonstrations of non-destructive structural evaluation in the presence of concealing conductive barriers are also provided. The relevant impact for steelwork inspection and health and usage monitoring without disruption of operation is envisaged, with direct benefit for industry, from welding in construction to pipeline inspection and corrosion under insulation in the energy sector.

These models are studied in the light of recent work showing that orientifold planes carry anomalous gravitational couplings on their world-volume. We show that gravitational anomalies can be locally cancelled by these new couplings at every point in the internal space, under the assumption that the anomaly residing on orientifold planes is distributed in a particular way among brane-plane and plane-plane intersections.

description: The Taklamakan Desert in China is one of the major source regions for Asian dust particles. All balloon-borne measurements in this report were carried out in Dunhuang, in the Taklamakan Desert, during calm weather conditions. The aerosol number concentration, size distribution, mass concentration, and horizontal mass flux due to westerly wind were investigated. The measurements were performed on 17 August 2001, 17 October 2001, 11 January 2002, and 30 April 2002. Five channels (0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1.2, and 3.6 µm in diameter) were used in the Optical Particle Counter for particle measurements. The aerosol number concentration in the winter season (11 January 2002) at 3–5 km was very high. Variation of free-tropospheric aerosols on 30 April 2002 was noticeable. A super-micron range was noticeable in the size distribution of all the measurements. Many variations in temperature and aerosol concentration were found at these inversion points. High values of estimated mass concentration of aerosols were frequently observed in the atmosphere near the ground (i.e., 1–2 km); and interestingly, relatively high concentrations were frequently detected above 2 km from the surface. Wind patterns observed using ERA-Interim data at 500 and 850 hPa showed that westerly winds dominated in the Taklamakan Desert during the observation period. The average horizontal mass flux of background Asian dust due to westerly wind was observed to fall within the range of 58.5–1219 tons km−2 d−1. Vertical profiles of aerosol number concentrations showed that significant transport of aerosols dominated in the westerly region (i.e., 4–7 km).

description: The residential demand for energy is growing steadily and the trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Household spending on energy services tends to increase with income. We explore household total spending on energy and on electricity and gas separately. We use an extensive British household panel data with more than 77,000 observations for the 1991-2007 period to explore the determinants of energy spending. We analyse income as a main driver of spending on energy and draw Engel spending curves for these. The lack of household level price data in liberalized retail energy markets is addressed by a new modelling approach to reflect within and between regional differences in energy prices. Also, long run changes in energy spending of households are approximated by exploring unit effects. The main results show the Engel spending curves are S-shaped. Income elasticities for energy spending are U-shaped and lower than unity, suggesting that energy services are a necessity for households. Moreover, the findings show that the income elasticity of energy spending is somewhat higher in the long run. Finally, we find a dynamic link between energy spending and income changes rather than a fixed budget threshold where basic needs are met. Hence, we suggest policy approaches that enable households to find their individual utility maximizing energy spending levels.Keywords

description: Towards constructing a stable, non-hydrolyzable linkage for Neisseria meningitidis type A (MenA) polysaccharide, the phosphate bridge of its (1→6)-linked 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-mannopyranosyl phosphate repeating unit was replaced by a triazolyl analog using Cu(I) catalyzed click reaction. The synthesis involved anomeric azidation of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine derivative from its acetate precursor using stoichiometric amount of FeCl3 and one-pot synthesis of precursors for di- and tri- triazolyl saccharides with an azidoethyl spacer at the reducing end for bioconjugation.

title: Hell is a teenage girl: whiteness, shame, and gothic girlhoods in popular culture

description: Hell is a Teenage Girl: Whiteness, Shame, and Gothic Girlhoods in Popular Culture postulates the distinct existence of a Gothic subgenre, which it dubs the “Girlhood Gothic.” This particular branch of Gothic fiction is prevalent in contemporary visual media such as films and television series. It predominantly focuses on narratives that revolve around young white females who find themselves in situations fraught with danger and distress. However, it is critical to note that the afflictions experienced by these characters are not necessarily of their own making. The monograph goes on to delineate the foundational tropes, motifs, and narrative structures that are emblematic of the Girlhood Gothic tradition. It delineates how this subgenre diverges from other adolescent-oriented genres, most notably from the mainstream horror genre. The fundamental differentiator cited is the Girlhood Gothic's in-depth portrayal of youthful encounters with profound loss, a lack of agency or voice, narrative omissions, and pervasive feelings of uncertainty that are intrinsic to the adolescent condition. Further, the text conducts a rigorous analysis of how modern media – through a Gothic and grotesque lens – actively shape and contribute to the discursive construction of narratives surrounding the maturation and identity formation of white females. It incorporates elements such as the uncanny and the abject to deeply interrogate these coming-of-age stories. Moreover, the work provides an intellectual framework for understanding a conceptual 'triad of distress' within these narratives. This theoretical construct is pivotal to the text as it seeks to illuminate the intricate ways in which these stories can be unpacked from a feminist standpoint. The 'triad of distress' serves as an analytical tool to unravel and critique the representation of female adolescence, highlighting how these narratives often reflect broader societal issues related to gender, race, and identity. In its examination, the text also establishes connections between various pieces of media that previously had not been collectively analyzed within this context. By doing so, it invites readers to reconsider and reinterpret familiar films and television shows that feature the trope of the white, middle-class adolescent girl navigating a world laced with Gothic and grotesque elements, thus contributing to a nuanced understanding of this unique subgenre and its place within the landscape of popular culture.

description: In the midst of a shortage of natural gas, Abu Dhabi has launched an investment into renewable energy. Why? Will renewables allow the Persian Gulf sheikhdom to meet rising electricity demand without simultaneous increases in conventional power? No. Even in one of the worldﾒs sunniest places ﾖ but not one of its windiest ﾖ conventional solar generation is unable to handle a demand peak that extends past sundown. Renewables offer an intermittent electricity supply at a much higher average cost than the existing gasfired system. Abu Dhabi will be neither able to forgo construction of a single conventional generating plant, nor reduce its reliance on gas imports from Qatar. The contribution to energy security will be negligible. This paper finds two main benefits, among several limitations. First, renewables may allow reduced fuel consumption in conventional power plants, which will cut carbon emissions and burning of expensive backup fuels. Second, the highly publicized investment has improved the regimeﾒs international image, bringing acclaim as a leader in clean energy, despite its status as a key OPEC oil producer. In the political context of a rentier monarchy, such prestige is as an important source of domestic legitimacy.

description: We have investigated exclusive, radiative B meson decays to charmless mesons (ρ, ω, ϕ, K^*(892), K^*_2(1430)) in 9.7\times 10^6 BBbar decays accumulated with the CLEO detector. The B -> K^*(892)γbranching fractions are determined to be Br(B^0 -> K^{*0}(892)γ) = (4.55 +0.72-0.68 +-0.34)\times 10^-5 and Br(B^+ -> K^{*+}(892)γ) = (3.76 +0.89-0.83 +-0.28)\times 10^-5. We have searched for CP asymmetry in B -> K^*(892)γdecays and measure Acp = +0.08 +-0.13 +-0.03. We also report the first observation of the decay B -> K^*_2(1430)γwith a branching fraction of (1.66 +0.59-0.53 +-0.13)\times 10^-5 and determine $Br(B -> K^*_2(1430)γ)/Br(B -> K^*(892)γ) = 0.39 +0.15-0.13 consistent with only one of two available theoretical models. No significant evidence for the decays B -> ργand B^0 -> ωγis found and we limit Br(B -> (ρ/ω)γ)/Br(B -> K^{*}(892)γ) < 0.32 at 90% CL. We also find no evidence for the exotic decay B^0 -> ϕγ.

description: Agent-based modelling is an attractive way of finding equilibria in complex problems involving strategic behaviour, particularly in electricity markets with transmission constraints. However, while it may be possible to demonstrate convergence of learning behaviour to a Nash equilibrium, that is not sufficient to establish that the equilibrium is robust against more sophisticated strategy choices. This note examines two particular forms of agent-based modelling used in electricity market models, both variants of mark-up pricing, and demonstrates that they are robust against other strategies.Keywords

description: We show that the complex of free factors of a free group of rank n > 1 is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres of dimension n-2. We also prove that for n > 1, the complement of (unreduced) Outer space in the free splitting complex is homotopy equivalent to the complex of free factor systems and moreover is (n-2)-connected. In addition, we show that for every non-trivial free factor system of a free group, the corresponding relative free splitting complex is contractible.
