description: Anagonia uptoni sp. nov.
Figs 66–68
 Types. Holotype male in ANIC no. 29-029369, 18 mi W of Mogumber, WA, 13 Apr. 1968, IFBC & MSU; terminalia in tube 325. Paratypes (all males):— Western Australia: Wyndham, 4 Jan. 1930, T. G. Campbell, T.t. 72; 21 mi W of Kojunup, 21 Mar. 1968, IFBC & MSU, T.t. 359; 5 km SE of Millstream HS, 21°37'S 117°06'E, 17 Apr. 1971, IFBC & MSU, T.t. 2203; 14°49'S 128°49'E, Carson Escarpment, 9–15 Aug. 1975, IFBC & MSU, T.t. 459.— Australian Capital Territory: Black Mtn, light trap, 11 Jan. 1958, IFBC, T.t. 127.
 Very similar to A. perplexa, but rather smaller and differing as follows:
 Male. Head. Width 1.8–2.6, mean 2.16 mm. Ivb-VbE 1.2–1.4, mean 1.30. Eye sparsely, finely or not at all haired. Ocellar setae sometimes not developed. Parafacial with ground colour very pale in tropical specimens, but only along anterior margin in those from southern areas.
 Thorax. Apical scutellars directed upwards.
 Legs. Tibiae concolorous with femora. Hindtibia with pd1 usually short, Pd1/Sdd 0.4–1.0, mean 0.77.
 Terminalia (Figs 66–68, 79). Cercus with basal lobe prominent, rounded, separated by a relatively large, membranous “notch” from apical part, with a patch of fine microtrichiae on ventral part of base; apical part straight, almost rod-like, about 1.5–2.0 times as long as basal part, with stout preapical tuft of spiny setulae and several scattered along the shaft, apex lying at about the bend of surstylus. Surstylus bent at about  2  ⁄  3  its length from base (about ½ in other species).
 Female. Not recognized.
 Distribution. Most of the few specimens known are from Western Australia, but there is also one from ACT.
 Biology. All that is known is that adults come to light.
 Notes. Apart from the expected difference in ratio Ivb/b-E, due to overall size difference, A. uptoni differs from the other relatively small species, A. minor, in Ivb independent of size. It is noticeable that specimens from the north of Western Australia are distinctly paler than those from the south.
Named for my colleague Murray Upton, whose passion for Lepidoptera never precluded collection of many interesting Diptera.

description: We demonstrate the possibility of creating and controlling an ideal and \textit{trimerized} optical Kagomé lattice, and study the low temperature physics of various atomic gases in such lattices. In the trimerized Kagomé lattice, a Bose gas exhibits a Mott transition with fractional filling factors, whereas a spinless interacting Fermi gas at 2/3 filling behaves as a quantum magnet on a triangular lattice. Finally, a Fermi-Fermi mixture at half filling for both components represents a frustrated quantum antiferromagnet with a resonating-valence-bond ground state and quantum spin liquid behavior dominated by continuous spectrum of singlet and triplet excitations. We discuss the method of preparing and observing such quantum spin liquid employing molecular Bose condensates.

description: La2Au2Cd and Ce2Au2Cd were prepared from the elements by reactions in sealed tantalum tubes in a water-cooled sample chamber of an induction furnace. These intermetallics crystallize with the tetragonal Mo2FeB2 type, space group P4/mbm. While La2Au2Cd is Pauli paramagnetic, Ce2Au2Cd shows Curie-Weiss behaviour above 100 K with an experimental magnetic moment of 2.41(2) muB/Ce atom, indicating trivalent cerium. Antiferromagnetic ordering is detected for Ce2Au2Cd at 5.01(2) K and magnetization measurements reveal a metamagnetic transition at 3 K at a critical field of around 20 kOe with a saturation moment of 1.50(2)muB/Ce atom at 80 kOe. The low-temperature heat capacity properties characterize Ce2Au2Cd as a heavy fermion material with an electronic specific heat coefficient (gamma) = 807(5) mJ/mol K2 as compared to La2Au2Cd with gamma = 6(5) mJ/mol K2.

THE RIGHTS OF MIGRANT DOMESTIC WORKERS: A CASE STUDY OF THE GULF COOPERATION COUNCIL COUNTRIES
Creators: name: Ghaith, Maryam Bin
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Domestic workers play an imperative role in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries’ households. It is rare to find a household without a domestic worker in the GCC. However, domestic workers are more vulnerable because they are usually excluded from the protections offered in labor laws and live inside of the household. Furthermore, the demand for domestic workers will likely increase rather than decrease due to the growing number of women participating in the job market and the growing age of GCC citizens. This dissertation reviews domestic worker laws that were adopted by the GCC countries taking into account these vulnerabilities. Different GCC countries have been working on improving the conditions for domestic workers in their states by adopting laws and regulations. The issue of domestic workers in the GCC is a complex matter with socio-economical, cultural, and legal implications that need to be contextualized in light of the history of the sponsorship system in the GCC. This dissertation looks into the best practices adopted by some countries in the GCC that are worth spreading to other GCC countries and addresses critiques from human rights organizations to improve the situation for domestic workers. Taking into account domestic workers vulnerabilities, this dissertation shows that abolishing the sponsorship system — as human rights organizations advocate — would cause problems as it would create more vulnerabilities for workers and increase resistance from employers. Moreover, the concept of sponsorship is deeply ingrained in conceptions of obligations owed between migrant domestic workers and employers in the Gulf region. This dissertation argues that the concept of sponsorship should be reformed rather than abolished by shifting the sponsorship system from individual employers to the state and a regional recruitment body.This dissertation proposes creating a unified contract for domestic workers heading to GCC countries and also proposes a unified law for domestic workers in all GCC countries. The dissertation proposes establishment of a GCC body to handle the recruitment of migrant domestic workers heading to the GCC countries, which will be beneficial for the well-being of workers and address the attacks on the GCC regarding the sponsorship system.

description: The objectives of this article are to provide policy makers in agriculture with a tariff policy framewo~k and a tariffi~tion strategy. Titis is necessary in order to successfully complete the tariffication process and act as a basis for future achons. The Department of Agricullure has officially opted for the implementation of import ~ffs o~ all agricultural produc~ 8:fld in so doing signified a dranntic change from the historical policy to protect local mdustnes by means of quantitative import restrictions. It is due to this change in policy direction, as well as South Africa's commitments in term_s of the GA IT Uruguay Round of multilateral negotiations, that a study of the impact of tariffication on local agncultural marketing arrangements and policy is necessary. It is essential that, given the complexity of the tariffication process, the Department of Agriculture officially adopts a tariff po_licy and _formul~tes a tariff_ policy framework wl_lic~ is_ transparent, administratively easy to manage and can serve as a basis for which agncultural tanffs are calculated. Turung 1s also of the essence and in order to prevent the process from becoming too complex and time consuming.

description: Locally information is not available on farmers' perceptions of the importance of various risk-sources and the efficiency of management responses that may be employed to deal with risks. Information on these can be used as guidelines in formulating risk-management strategies and for risk-modelling. Producer prices and the uncertainty of tl1e weather are regarded as tlie most important risk-sources, while the scheduling of investments is regarded as one of the most important ways of counteracting risk. In certain cases socio-economic factors affect farmers' perceptions of the importance of risk-sources and management responses.
Phase diagram of aggregation of oppositely charged colloids in salty water

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Aggregation of two oppositely charged colloids in salty water is studied. We focus on the role of Coulomb interaction in strongly asymmetric systems in which the charge and size of one colloid is much larger than the other one. In the solution, each large colloid (macroion) attracts certain number of oppositely charged small colloids ($Z$-ion) to form a complex. If the concentration ratio of the two colloids is such that complexes are not strongly charged, they condense in a macroscopic aggregate. As a result, the phase diagram in a plane of concentrations of two colloids consists of an aggregation domain sandwiched between two domains of stable solutions of complexes. The aggregation domain has a central part of total aggregation and two wings corresponding to partial aggregation. A quantitative theory of the phase diagram in the presence of monovalent salt is developed. It is shown that as the Debye-Hückel screening radius $r_s$ decreases, the aggregation domain grows, but the relative size of the partial aggregation domains becomes much smaller. As an important application of the theory, we consider solutions of long double-helix DNA with strongly charged positive spheres (artificial chromatin). We also consider implications of our theory for in vitro experiments with the natural chromatin. Finally, the effect of different shapes of macroions on the phase diagram is discussed.

description: We suggest using an evanescent wave around a thin fiber to trap atoms. We show that the gradient force of a red-detuned evanescent-wave field in the fundamental mode of a silica fiber can balance the centrifugal force when the fiber diameter is about two times smaller than the wavelength of the light and the component of the angular momentum of the atoms along the fiber axis is in an appropriate range. As an example, the system should be realizable for Cesium atoms at a temperature of less than 0.29 mK using a silica fiber with a radius of 0.2 $μ$m and a 1.3-$μ$m-wavelength light with a power of about 27 mW.

description: The purpose of this research was to determine whether the Marico-Busveld Goverment Water Scheme can be successfully privatised. Representative farming units were developed and Dynamic Linear Programming was used as a diagnostic technique to model a planning horison of twenty years. The time value of money was calculated by discounting cash received against a chosen interest rate. The expected cash flow can then be expressed in a single value. The present value of the incremental capital expenditure is subtracted to obtain the net present value. Results show that two of the three representative farming units are financially viable after privatisation. The third representative farming unit will only be viable if gross margins are increased. The scheme can successfully be privatised only if better management is applied at farm level.

description: As part of the University of British Columbia’s Food Systems Project our group conducted a survey to determine baseline knowledge, attitudes and practices of the Campus community. For our methods we used convenience sampling to target the ideal 1000 participants in our survey. Participants engaged in either web based surveys or hard copy surveys to measure their attitudes, behaviour and knowledge about the UBC food system. 413 individuals participated in our survey with 117 filling out hard copy surveys and 296 doing web-based surveys. We found that there was a lot of opportunity to increase knowledge about food sustainability on campus as well as a definite need to improve student’s actual practices within the UBC food system. But there is interest and demand for this information. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

 Types. Holotype male in ANIC no. 29-029360, Illungnarra waterhole, 90 km SSW of Urandangi, NT, 15 Oct. 1978, DHC (at light), terminalia displayed in situ. Paratypes (all males):— Northern Territory: 2 specs. as for holotype, T.t. 2498 and 2215; 22 km WSW of Borroloola, 2 Nov. 1975, MSU, T.t. 465; Caranbirini waterhole, 33 km SW of Borroloola, 21 Apr. 1976, DHC, T.t. 2205.— Australian Capital Territory: Black Mtn, light trap, 17 Jan. 1962, IFBC, T.t. 140; the same, but 9 Jan. 1964, T.t. 147.— Western Australia: Mt Claremont, Perth, 10 Apr. 1968, IFBC & MSU, T.t. 344; 16°08'S 136°06'E.
 Male. Externally, practically identical to A. uptoni, differing mainly in the terminalia. Also, rather larger, HdW 2.2–2.9, mean 2.61 mm; Ivb/Vb-E 1.1–1.2, mean 1.16.
 Terminalia (Fig. 80). Rather similar to A. perplexa, but (in lateral view) cercus with basal lobe rather less prominent, with a (usually) small patch of microtrichiae centrally at base, and separated from apical part by a distinct “notch”. Apical part a little shorter than basal part, its apex at about the bend of the surstylus, curved and “thumb-like”, with subapical patch (rather than tuft) of setulae covering about  1  ⁄ 3 its length, rest of posterior surface with numerous microtrichiae.
 Distribution. Specimens seen from Northern Territory, Western Australia and the ACT.
 Biology. Most specimens were taken at light, but one was reared from larvae of the weevil, Gonipterus scutellatus.
 Notes. Despite the stout similarity to A. uptoni, the fine detail of the terminalia leaves no doubt that this is a good species. The name refers to the remarkably wide geographic distribution of the few specimens seen.

Livestock Production/Industries

description: In this viewpoint, the profile of the South African poultry industry is given. Both sectors, eggs and meat production, are dominated by a small number oflarge scale producers. The main actors in the industry are the producers themselves, feed, equipment and other suppliers with retail outlets forming an integral part of the marketing of the products. Since the dissolution of the Egg Control Board, the industry is totally deregulated with supply and demand regulating the industry. When put together, the gross value of eggs and poultry meat was, during 1993/94, the highest of any agricultural product. The industry is also the single biggest consumer of yellow maize. It is a highly competitive and capital intensive industry that makes it rather difficult for new entrants. Apart from expansion by existing producers, opportunities for new entrants will include contract growing for existing producers and/or producing for a niche market. New small scale entrants will, apart from financial assistance, also need training, after care and help with procurement of livestock, goods and services.
The dependence of the sub-stellar IMF on the initial conditions for star formation

description: Abridged: We have undertaken a series of hydrodynamical simulations of multiple star formation in small turbulent molecular clouds. Our goal is to determine the sensitivity of the properties of the resulting stars and brown dwarfs to variations in the initial conditions imposed. In this paper we report on the results obtained by applying two different initial turbulent velocity fields. The slope of the turbulent power-law spectrum alpha is set to -3 in half of the calculations and to -5 in the other half. We find that, whereas the stellar mass function seems to only be weakly dependent on the value of alpha, the sub-stellar mass function turns out to be more sensitive to the initial slope of the velocity field. We argue that, since the role of turbulence is to create substructure from which gravitational instabilities may grow, variations in other initial conditions that also determine the fragmentation process are likely to affect the shape of the sub-stellar mass function as well. The absence of many planetary mass `free-floaters' in our simulations, especially in the mass range 1-10 MJ, suggests that, if these objects are abundant, they are likely to form by similar mechanisms to those thought to operate in quiescent accretion discs, instead of via instabilities in gravitationally unstable discs. Finally, we find that multiple and single stars share comparable kinematical properties, both populations being able to attain velocities in the range 1-10 km/s. From these values we draw the conclusion that only low-mass star-forming regions such as Taurus-Auriga or Ophiuchus, where the escape speed is low, might have suffered some depletion of its single and binary stellar population.

description: Using deep high-resolution multi-band images taken with the Very Large Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope, we discovered a new anomalous sequence in the Color Magnitude Diagram of omega Cen. This feature appears as a narrow, well-defined Sub Giant Branch (SGB-a), which merges into the Main Sequence of the dominant cluster population at a magnitude significantly fainter than the cluster Turn-Off (TO). The simplest hypothesis assumes that the new feature is the extension of the anomalous Red Giant Branch (RGB-a) metal-rich population discovered by Lee et al. (1999) and Pancino et al. (2000). However, under this assumption the interpretation of the SGB-a does not easily fit into the context of a self-enrichment scenario within omega Cen. In fact, its TO magnitude, shape and extension are not compatible with a young, metal-rich population, as required by the self-enrichment process. The TO level of the SGB-a suggests indeed an age as old as the main cluster population, further supporting the extra-cluster origin of the most metal rich stars, as suggested by Ferraro, Bellazzini & Pancino (2002). Only accurate measurements of radial velocities and metal abundances for a representative sample of stars will firmly establish whether or not the SGB-a is actually related to the RGB-a and will finally shed light on the origin of the metal rich population of omega Cen.

BURIED TREASURE: GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS IN THE ARABIAN GULF REGION
Creators: name: AlDebasi, Alhanoof
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is home to more than forty-two types of dates, generating around 2 billion dollars. These small fruits are an important part of the daily nutrition of GCC nationals, their culture and history, and economic activity. Geographical indications (GIs) are valuable legal tools that simulate economic development while protecting cultural assets. GIs function as an indicator of origin linking goods of reputation, quality, or other characteristics to a geographical region. Employing GIs in the GCC Member States — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates — is a worthwhile complement of a larger intellectual property strategy to diversify revenue beyond oil and gas. However, implementation of this legal tool in the GCC requires overcoming obstacles not addressed in the legal literature: challenges from certain religious interpretations; international obligations; and domestic experiences. Once these analyses are tackled, an opportunity to expand the applicability of GIs to live animals or religious products could increase the ways in which GIs are utilized in the region. This research introduces a unified GCC GIs framework factoring in religious, cultural, and regional aspects. Finally, the method and result of this work could be beneficial for not only GCC government officials, but also other Middle Eastern, North African, and Islamic countries desiring to develop a GIs framework.

description: We report a quantum Monte Carlo study of the phase transition between antiferromagnetic and valence-bond solid ground states in the square-lattice $S=1/2$ $J$-$Q$ model. The critical correlation function of the $Q$ terms gives a scaling dimension corresponding to the value $ν= 0.455 \pm 0.002$ of the correlation-length exponent. This value agrees with previous (less precise) results from conventional methods, e.g., finite-size scaling of the near-critical order parameters. We also study the $Q$-derivatives of the Binder cumulants of the order parameters for $L^2$ lattices with $L$ up to $448$. The slope grows as $L^{1/ν}$ with a value of $ν$ consistent with the scaling dimension of the $Q$ term. There are no indications of runaway flow to a first-order phase transition. The mutually consistent estimates of $ν$ provide compelling support for a continuous deconfined quantum-critical point.

BURIED TREASURE: GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS IN THE ARABIAN GULF REGION

subject: Law and legal studies

description: The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is home to more than forty-two types of dates, generating around 2 billion dollars. These small fruits are an important part of the daily nutrition of GCC nationals, their culture and history, and economic activity. Geographical indications (GIs) are valuable legal tools that simulate economic development while protecting cultural assets. GIs function as an indicator of origin linking goods of reputation, quality, or other characteristics to a geographical region. Employing GIs in the GCC Member States — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates — is a worthwhile complement of a larger intellectual property strategy to diversify revenue beyond oil and gas. However, implementation of this legal tool in the GCC requires overcoming obstacles not addressed in the legal literature: challenges from certain religious interpretations; international obligations; and domestic experiences. Once these analyses are tackled, an opportunity to expand the applicability of GIs to live animals or religious products could increase the ways in which GIs are utilized in the region. This research introduces a unified GCC GIs framework factoring in religious, cultural, and regional aspects. Finally, the method and result of this work could be beneficial for not only GCC government officials, but also other Middle Eastern, North African, and Islamic countries desiring to develop a GIs framework.
Photoreception and the Role of Serotonin in the Photobehaviors of Amphipods
Creators: name: Kennedy, Melissa Doot
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Intricate adaptations to visual systems have allowed amphipods to thrive in extreme habitats like caves. Photoreception is required for vision, hormone stimulation and photobehavior, and serotonin, a neurotransmitter modulated by light exposure, plays a vital role in many physiological processes like escape, reproduction, and feeding. Serotonin function can be altered by anthropogenic contaminants in the environment like antidepressants. The purpose of this study is to examine photoreception in Amphipoda and assess the impact of altered serotonin pathways on photobehavior. Using a preference assay, the photobehaviors of 3 species of subterranean and surface amphipods were determined before and after exposure to the antidepressant Fluoxetine. Results reveal photopreference varies with wavelength for certain cave species. The magnitude of overall phototactic response varied among all populations indicating this behavior is highly adaptable. Results also suggest that serotonin is intricately tied to photopreference and may be easily disrupted by Fluoxetine exposure.
A Pre-Protostellar Core in L1551. II. State of Dynamical and Chemical Evolution

description: Both analytic and numerical radiative transfer models applied to high spectral resolution CS and N2H+ data give insight into the evolutionary state of L1551 MC. This recently discovered pre-protostellar core in L1551 appears to be in the early stages of dynamical evolution. Line-of-sight infall velocities of >0.1km/s are needed in the outer regions of L1551 MC to adequately fit the data. This translates to an accretion rate of ~ 1e-6 Msun/yr, uncertain to within a factor of 5 owing to unknown geometry. The observed dynamics are not due to spherically symmetric gravitational collapse and are not consistent with the standard model of low-mass star formation. The widespread, fairly uniform CS line asymmetries are more consistent with planar infall. There is modest evidence for chemical depletion in the radial profiles of CS and C18O suggesting that L1551 MC is also chemically young. The models are not very sensitive to chemical evolution. L1551 MC lies within a quiescent region of L1551 and is evidence for continued star formation in this evolved cloud.

Taxonomy

description: Anagonia similis sp. nov.
Fig. 81
 Types. Holotype male in ANIC no. 29-029367, Illungnarra waterhole, 90 km SSW of Urandangi, NT, 15 Oct. 1978, DHC (at light), terminalia in tube 2224. Paratype male:— New South Wales: Dubbo, 24 Jan. 1909, T.t. 2187 (pinned above an adult weevil, probably Gonipterus sp).
 Very similar to A. errator and A. uptoni, but differing as follows:
 Male. Head. Width 3.0–3.1, mean 3.05 mm. Ivb/Vb-E 1.2–1.3, mean 1.24. Postocellar setae 5–6.
 Terminalia (Fig. 81). Structurally resembling A. uptoni, with apical part of cercus similarly rod-like, but basal lobe of cercus longer and narrower, almost as long as apical part, and much less prominent.
 Female. Not known.
 Distribution. Qld and NSW.
 Biology. The association of one specimen with an adult weevil is suggestive, but inconclusive.
 Notes. Although rather like a “large” form of A. uptoni, the differences seem more than enough to recognize this as a basic taxon and presumably a good species; the basal lobe of the cercus is especially distinctive. Also, the Ivb/Vb-E ratio is remarkably high for such large specimens and the postocellar setae are distinctive (although that might be spoilt by discovery of further specimens!).
The paratype, associated with an adult specimen of weevil, suggests that this may be the host. However, the evidence is very indirect, since the actual host would have no doubt been a larva.

ADOPTING A UNIFIED SET OF RULES REGARDING NON-SIGNATORY ISSUES IN INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION: EXTENSION BASED UPON CONTRACT LAW THEORIES
Creators: name: Khalifa, Hadir
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Extension of artbitration agreements is one of the most debatable issues in international commercial arbitration. Effectuating the extension to bind non-signatories to arbitration produces a lot of problems in practice, especially extension based on contract law theories. Applying national laws to determine the validity of extension is unsuitable to the nature of international disputes because of the peculiarities and technicalities of national contract laws, which are designed primarily to be applied to domestic disputes — not international ones. This study aims to develop and adopt a unified set of rules to be applied to extension issues without any recourse to national laws. The study focuses on agency, incorporation by reference, and third-party beneficiary theories. Applying this unified proposed approach enhances certainty, predictability, and flexibility in international arbitration, which aligns with the nature of arbitration as a neutraland effective dispute resolution mechanism.

description: 1bis article puts agricultural support in South Africa in perspective with some selected countries of the developed world. The comparison of support data between countries,bearing in mind the recognised limits of these indicaton;, gives an indication of the relative extent of agricultural support in South Africa. With the exception of Australia and New Zealand, South Africa had a relatively low degree of support compared to the other selected developed countries. However, bearing in mind the low per capita income of the majority of South Africans, the question still remains to what extent South Africans can afford even the current relatively low levels of support within the agricultural sector.

Structural Modeling of Social Anxiety and Worry Across Cultures
Creators: name: Tang, Dickson
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study examines the generalizability of the triple vulnerability model of anxiety disorders by comparing prior empirical findings by Brown, Chorpita, and Barlow (1998) in a diverse non-clinical sample of Asian or Asian American, Hispanic or Latino, and Caucasian participants. Within the context of cross-cultural comparison, it contributes to the further development of a diathesis-stress model of social anxiety and worry by integrating the constructs of ethnic identity and perceived stress (Carter, Sbrocco, & Carter, 1996) to determine their potential influence on the expression of symptoms in each group. Confirmatory factor analysis, measurement invariance tests, and structural equation modeling are conducted to assess the original structural model, which posited causal pathways from the constructs of positive affect and negative affect to the anxiety symptoms, as well as associations among generalized anxiety and autonomic arousal. Results suggest that although the three groups possess equal form in their measurement models, they are generally not measurement invariant. Structural equation models point to the commonality of negative affect as a core vulnerability, while each group reveals specific differential relationships among other constructs and pathways to anxiety symptoms. Discussion attends to implications of our findings, as well as broader methodological and psychometric issues for cross-cultural comparisons.
