description: The Schönberg-Chandrasekhar (SC) limit is a well-established result in the understanding of stellar evolution. It provides an estimate of the point at which an evolved isothermal core embedded in an extended envelope begins to contract. We investigate contours of constant fractional mass in terms of homology invariant variables U and V and find that the SC limit exists because the isothermal core solution does not intersect all the contours for an envelope with polytropic index 3. We find that this analysis also applies to similar limits in the literature including the inner mass limit for polytropic models of quasi-stars. Consequently, any core solution that does not intersect all the fractional mass contours exhibits an associated limit and we identify several relevant cases where this is so. We show that a composite polytrope is at a fractional core mass limit when its core solution touches but does not cross the contour of the corresponding fractional core mass. We apply this test to realistic models of helium stars and find that stars typically expand when their cores are near a mass limit. Furthermore, it appears that stars that evolve into giants have always first exceeded an SC-like limit.

description: Recently we proposed a novel approach to the formulation of relativistic dissipative hydrodynamics by extending the so-called matching conditions in the Eckart frame [Phys. Rev. {\bf C 85}, (2012) 14906]. We extend this formalism further to the arbitrary Lorentz frame. We discuss the stability and causality of solutions of fluid equations which are obtained by applying this formulation to the Landau frame, which is more relevant to treat the fluid produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We derive equations of motion for a relativistic dissipative fluid with zero baryon chemical potential and show that linearized equations obtained from them are stable against small perturbations. It is found that conditions for a fluid to be stable against infinitesimal perturbations are equivalent to imposing restrictions that the sound wave, $c_s$, propagating in the fluid, must not exceed the speed of light $c$, i.e., $c_s < c$. This conclusion is equivalent to that obtained in the previous paper using the Eckart frame [Phys. Rev. {\bf C 85}, (2012) 14906].

What Obama's Fundraising Advantage Means

subject: FOS: Political science

description: Despite President Obama's latest poll numbers showing that his approval rating lags behind his disapproval rating by a roughly seven points, the numbers are not all bad for Obama. A more significant indicator, at this time, is that the President has raised more money than all of his opponents combined. Similarly, all of the Republican candidates lag far behind where both candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were at a similar time in 2007. This means that, unless something substantial changes during the next few months, as the primary election approaches, the most visible candidate on television and in other advertising media as primaries and caucuses approach in Iowa, New Hampshire and other early states will not be Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry or some other Republican. Instead it will be Obama who has enough money now to match all of these candidates commercial for commercial and phone bank for phone bank. Obama will have the resources to defend in the face of a Republican primary campaign which, as things look now, will likely devolve into a contest to see who can portray President Obama in the worst light.

description: Bibliography: p. 86-96
description: Ultracold atoms in optical lattices arc a promising test bed for quantum computation and simulation. The relative ease with which large cluster states, a special class of entangled state, can be generated in optical lattices makes them particularly attractive for the implementation of one-way quantum computing (1 WQC). Given the cluster state as a resource, lWQC requires only the ability to make sequential measurements on isolated qubits. Unfortunately, this requirement poses a major challenge for 1 vVQC in optical lattice systems because the spacing between atomic qubits is generally smal1er than the width of addressing beams. This thesis will examine the problems associated with many a.torn addressing in Lhe context of 1 \iVQC and show that even without the ability to address single atoms l\VQC is still possible. It is shown how, with many qubit rotations, one can arbitrary choose the rotation applied to N qubits using N accurately positioned rotation beams. This thesis also presents a simple method Lo increase tile probability of measuring only a single cluster qubit, at the cost of additional operational overhead. Finally a measurement protocol is presented which, by increasing the overall cluster size, compensates for errors which arise wltcn an arbitrary number of nearby cluster q11bits are accidentally measured.

The top gates are patterned such that constrictions and islands can be electrostatically induced by applying appropriate voltages to the gates. The high quality of the devices becomes apparent from conductance quantization in the constrictions at low temperature. The islands exhibit clear Coulomb blockade and single-electron transport.

description: Shed antler hunting can affect the movements and space use of ungulates. We evaluated space use and movements of 12 mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and 25 bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) during shed antler hunting for up to 4 years. Twenty-five percent of mule deer and 44% of bighorn sheep changed space use in relation to their home range in response to shed antler hunters across 2 years. Four deer were tracked for 3 or 4 consecutive years and responded differently to shed antler hunting across years. Mean distance moved by mule deer in response to shed antler hunters remained similar from year 1 to year 2. Mean distance moved by bighorn sheep in response to shed antler hunters declined from year 1 to year 2. Our results allow biologists to consider changes in space use and movements of mule deer and bighorn sheep when managing for shed antler hunting.
title: Particle fictions: an experimental approach to creative writing and reading informed by particle physics
Creators: name: Hershman, T
Publisher: name: Bath Spa University
Year: 2017

description: This two-part document comprises the work submitted for Tania Hershman's practice-based PhD in Creative Writing in answer to her primary research question: Can particle fiction and particle physics interrogate each other? Her secondary research question examined the larger question of wholeness and wholes versus parts. The first of the two elements of the PhD is a book-length creative work of what Hershman has defined as "particle fiction" - a book made of parts which works as a whole - entitled 'And What If We Were All Allowed to Disappear': an experimental, hybrid work comprised of prose, poetry, elements that morph between the two forms, and images, and takes concepts from particle physics as inspiration. The second element of this PhD, the contextualising research, entitled 'And What If We Were All Allowed To Separate And Come Together', which is written in the style of fictocriticism, provides an overview of particle physics and the many other topics relating to wholeness and wholes versus parts - from philosophy to postmodernism and archaeology - that Hershman investigated in the course of her project. This essay also details the "experiments" Hershman carried out on works which she defined as particle fictions, in order to examine whether it was possible to generalise and formulate a "Standard Model of Particle Fiction" inspired by a the Standard Model of Particle Physics, and to inform the creation of her own work of particle fiction.

description: Large scale distributed applications combine network access with multiple storage and computational elements. The distributed responsibility for resource control creates new security issues, caused by the complexity of the operating environment. In particular, policies at multiple layers and locations force conventional mechanisms such as firewalls and compartmented file storage into roles where they are clumsy and failure-prone. Our approach relies on two functional divisions. First, we split policy specification and policy enforcement, providing local autonomy within the constraints of the global security policy. Second, we create virtual security domains each with its own security policy. Every domain has an associated set of privileges and permissions restricting it to the resources it needs to use and the services it must perform. Virtual private services ensure security and privacy policies are adhered to through coordinated policy enforcement points.

description: Two basic rules (i.e., the pair identity and the smooth variation rules) resulting from the properties of the energy levels and wave functions of H2O states govern how the spectroscopic parameters vary with the H2O lines within the individually defined groups of lines. With these rules, for those lines involving high j states in the same groups, variations of all their spectroscopic parameters (i.e., the transition frequency, intensity, pressure broadened half-width, pressure-induced shift, and temperature exponent) can be well monitored. Thus, the rules can serve as simple and effective tools to screen the H2O spectroscopic data listed in the HITRAN database and verify the latter's accuracies. By checking violations of the rules occurring among the data within the individual groups, possible errors can be picked up and also possible missing lines in the linelist whose intensities are above the threshold can be identified. We have used these rules to check the accuracies of the spectroscopic parameters and the completeness of the linelists for several important H2O vibrational bands. Based on our results, the accuracy of the line frequencies in HITRAN 2008 is consistent. For the line intensity, we have found that there are a substantial number of lines whose intensity values are questionable. With respect to other parameters, many mistakes have been found. The above claims are consistent with a well known fact that values of these parameters in HITRAN contain larger uncertainties. Furthermore, supplements of the missing line list consisting of line assignments and positions can be developed from the screening results.
Using low-energy ⁸Li beta-detected NMR to probe the magnetism of transition metals
Creators: name: Parolin, Terry J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Low-energy, beta-radiation-detected nuclear magnetic resonance (β-NMR) is applied to probe the magnetism of Au and Pd. The measurements were carried out at the TRIUMF β-NMR facility using optically spin-polarized ⁸Li⁺ as the probe. The behaviour of ⁸Li⁺+ in Au was investigated using samples in the form of a foil and a 100 nm film evaporated onto a MgO (100) substrate. The results are in overall agreement with those obtained previously in Ag, Cu, and Al. Narrow, temperature-independent resonances are observed and assigned to ions stopping in the octahedral interstitial and substitutional lattice sites; the latter appearing only for temperatures above 150 K which is attributed to a thermally-activated site change. The spin-lattice relaxation rate of substitutional site ions is less than half as fast at ambient temperature as that in the other simple metals. The rate is independent of external field for fields greater than 15 mT. A Korringa analysis for the substitutional ions indicates no significant electron enhancement over that of a free electron gas. For all four metals, the enhancements obtained are smaller than those for the host nuclei. No depth dependence was found for the resonances in Au. The highly exchange-enhanced metal Pd was studied using samples in the form of a foil and a 100 nm film evaporated onto a SrTiO₃ (100) substrate. Strongly temperature-dependent, negative shifts are observed that scale with the temperature dependence of the host susceptibility between room temperature and 110 K. The resonances appear as two partially resolved lines that exhibit similar behaviour with temperature. The linewidths are broad and double upon cooling. The data are indicative of ions stopping in a site of cubic symmetry. The spin-lattice relaxation rate increases linearly with increasing temperature and eventually saturates at higher temperatures, consistent with the prediction from spin fluctuation theory. In contrast to the simple metals, large Korringa enhancements are obtained in this host. Ferromagnetic dynamical scaling is observed to hold above 110 K. Features below this temperature indicate that the Li ions locally induce a further enhancement of the static susceptibility. The temperature dependence of the modified susceptibility is in keeping with the prediction for a weak itinerant ferromagnet just above the Curie temperature; however, there is no evidence of static order.

description: The increasing array of Internet-scale threats is a pressing problem for every organization that utilizes the network. Organizations have limited resources to detect and respond to these threats. The end-to-end (E2E) sharing of information related to probes and attacks is a facet of an emerging trend toward "collaborative security". The key benefit of a collaborative approach to intrusion detection is a better view of global network attack activity. Augmenting the information obtained at a single site with information gathered from across the network can provide a more precise model of an attacker's behavior and intent. While many organizations see value in adopting such a collaborative approach, some challenges must be addressed before intrusion detection can be performed on an inter-organizational scale. We report on our experience developing and deploying a decentralized system for efficiently distributing alerts to collaborating peers. Our system, worminator, extracts relevant information from alert streams and encodes it in bloom filters. This information forms the basis of a distributed watchlist. The watchlist can be distributed via a choice of mechanisms ranging from a centralized trusted third party to a decentralized P2P-style overlay network.
title: How can my textile art and my textile craft processes contribute to a dialogue through an investigation of materials used in a disposable culture?
Creators: name: Harper, A
Publisher: name: Bath Spa University
Year: 2017

description: In this thesis I explore the contribution that my textile art and textile craft processes can contribute to an ethical dialogue through an emerging materiality. This contribution is distinctive because, by focussing on certain materials commonly thought of as ‘waste’, I am drawing attention to how the growth and acceptability of a disposable culture alienates us from both the material world and also from knowledge of ourselves. Through my practice and this thesis, and the interface between them, I explore how a recognition of this use, or rather mis-use, of resources can assist in better understanding the isolation and alienation that society is experiencing as noted for example by Bauman (2003). My current art practice and this research project seeks to uncover, reveal and deepen the connections with our material world; connections that are currently stretched and ruptured by the strictures of capitalism and the politics of neoliberalism. My work is about resources, the depletion of which impacts on the natural world and the biosphere. It seeks to bring about a reassessment of how we use, view and value ‘common’, everyday objects and materials in post-industrial societies, seeking to bring about and enable a less destructive and combative system of production and reproduction than currently exists. This work takes the form of an examination of materialism and materiality, less about its economic impact, but more as a search for a different materialism, a new materialism, a deep materialism, which will enable a reviewing and a reparation of the relationships between matter and materials and our (optional) need and desire for both. The materials I use in my practice have already passed through people's hands. They have been used fleetingly, are felt but not seen; consigned to their post-use phase. They are not broken, but our relationship with them is. I am re-working and re-presenting these materials so that they are seen as part of an integral and egalitarian 'whole', with no one material, human or otherwise, being seen as dominant or more important than the other. With recent developments in quantum physics showing us that matter we previously thought of as 'inert' is in fact made up of vibrating strands of energy and in a post-anthropocentric age of diminishing resources and an uncertain future, some may say an ecological crisis, it is crucial that we reassess and revise our relationship with the material world.

description: Objectives To compare the potential impact of rectal (RMB), vaginal (VMB) and bi-compartment (RVMB) (applied vaginally and protective during vaginal and anal intercourse) microbicides to prevent HIV in various heterosexual populations. To understand when a RMB is as useful than a VMB for women practicing anal intercourse (AI). Methods Mathematical model was used to assess the population-level impact (cumulative fraction of new HIV infections prevented (CFP)) of the three different microbicides in various intervention scenarios and prevalence settings. We derived the break-even RMB efficacy required to reduce a female's cumulative risk of HIV infection by the same amount than a VMB. Results Under optimistic coverage (fast roll-out, 100% uptake), a 50% efficacious VMB used in 75% of sex acts in population without AI may prevent ~33% (27, 42%) new total (men and women combined) HIV infections over 25 years. The 25-year CFP reduces to ~25% (20, 32%) and 17% (13, 23%) if uptake decreases to 75% and 50%, respectively. Similar loss of impact (by 25%-50%) is observed if the same VMB is introduced in populations with 5%-10% AI and for RRRAI=4-20. A RMB is as useful as a VMB (ie, break-even) in populations with 5% AI if RRRAI=20 and in populations with 15%-20% AI if RRRAI=4, independently of adherence as long as it is the same with both products. The 10-year CFP with a RVMB is twofold larger than for a VMB or RMB when AI=10% and RRRAI=10. Conclusions Even low AI frequency can compromise the impact of VMB interventions. RMB and RVMB will be important prevention tools for heterosexual populations.

The asymptotic universe (absent of singularities) results to be finite in size and energy density, with an vacuum dominated equation of state. The important result here obtained is that the asymptotic back-reaction effects are given by a negative constant: $1/2 [\frac{1}{1+\dotψ^2}+\frac{1}{\dotψ^2}] +{1\over 2a^2} |_{t\rightarrow\infty} = {-8 Λ_0 \over 3 πG}$.

description: A two-period model of temporary equilibrium with rationing is presented, paying particular attention to agents' expectations of future constraints. It is shown that with arbitrary constraint expectations many different types of current equilibrium may be consistent with the same set of (current and expected future) wages and prices, and that constraint expectations exhibit "bootstraps" properties (e.g., a higher expectation of Keynesian unemployment tomorrow increases the probability that it will prevail today). In addition, the concept of rational constraint expectations (i.e., perfect foresight of future constraints) is introduced and shown to enhance rather than reduce the effectiveness of government policy.
title: Association and reassurance: local responses to the French Revolution in the Bath newspapers, 1789-1802
Creators: name: Grieves, K
Publisher: name: Bath Spa University
Year: 2017

description: The people of the City of Bath and its surrounding areas were well served by newspapers in the last decade of the eighteenth century. These newspapers provided their readers with a digest of international and national news stories gleaned from the London press and, to a lesser extent, from other provincial newspapers. They carried advertisements for businesses and printed notices on behalf of various organisations. They dedicated column space to local news and announcements, and also provided a space for readers' opinions in the form of letters to the editor. This local content in the Bath newspapers reflected the concerns of the readership, which became particularly visible during the French Revolution. Limited attention has yet been paid to local content in the provincial press, particularly with regard to its societal role. Indeed, many historians have dismissed the provincial press as amateurish and uniform. One notable exception is Hannah Barker who has argued that regional newspapers provide an insight into the local conditions in which they were created. Peter Clark has also recognised the pivotal role of provincial newspapers in facilitating the growth of an associational culture during the eighteenth century. This dissertation provides a thematic case study on the role of the provincial press during a time of ideological and military conflict, drawing upon the local content of the Bath newspapers printed during this period. This is supplemented by newspapers printed in other urban centres to provide a comparison with similar content in other provincial titles as well as demonstrating how other newspapers reported on Bath and its neighbourhood at that time. The themes that are explored include philanthropy, the presence of émigrés in the city, celebrations of royal anniversaries, the clash of radicals and loyalists, the county militia and the volunteer movement. I argue that the main role of the Bath newspapers during the French Revolution was in promoting various forms of association in the city, which became increasingly inclusive over the period, particularly with regard to women and those of a lower social status. This increased participation in civil society laid the groundwork for later democratic reforms. At the same time, they painted a reassuring picture of a united, generous and well defended city at a troubling time.
title: Composing for musical theatre: approaches to interdisciplinary collaboration
Creators: name: Mallett, A
Publisher: name: Bath Spa University
Year: 2018

description: This study investigates how a composer negotiates the transition from previous solo working practices into an interdisciplinary setting, through the creation of four original works of musical theatre. Experiences of composing within three contrasting collaborative models are considered within a framework of socio-psychological, organisational and creative collaboration theory, and cross-referenced with interview evidence from contemporary musical theatre composers. A five-stage process in the development of a collaborative musical theatre project is presented, illustrating key factors influencing each phase. The musical theatre environment is shown to be an ideal setting for both research into collaborative creativity, and the nurturing of collaborative skill. By consciously exploiting diversity as a resource, the composer can both enrich their compositional practice and learn to collaborate more effectively. Auto-ethnographic research can further enhance this development, with the mental act of self-observation fostering a sense of self-awareness that promotes innovative approaches to the compositional process. The role of composer-researcher demands a flexibility of thought and approach that supports the duality required to effectively shift between collaborative and solo contexts, and the microcosm and macrocosm of the show.

title: Bearing witness: the writing of domestic abuse in a work of fiction [and] What men do
Creators: name: Stuart, E
Publisher: name: Bath Spa University
Year: 2018

description: My aim in this thesis is to show how the portrayal of abuse in fiction differs from the writing of other fictional forms. And to examine the tools and methods the writer of such material needs to bring to bear on their work as a consequence. The thesis is composed of two parts – a creative manuscript and a piece of contextualising research. The manuscript is in the form of a novel, entitled 'What Men Do', about a woman who physically abuses her husband. The woman at the centre of the novel, Connie Williams, a primary school teacher, faces difficulties at school and in her marriage in the wake of a recent miscarriage. The novel charts her descent into violence and mental turmoil, while at the same time presenting a concurrent narrative involving a police investigation into her actions. The contextualising research, 'Bearing witness: the writing of domestic abuse in a work of fiction', investigates the writing of a work of fiction involving domestic abuse, by means of close analysis of two novels addressing the subject, as well as my own. I take Anne Enright’s Booker Prize-winning novel 'The Gathering' and examine how Enright depicts the topic of domestic (sexual) abuse in it. I also explore how Roddy Doyle approaches the subject of domestic violence in 'The Woman Who Walked into Doors'. I compare and contrast my own novel and my experience of writing about domestic abuse with these authors’ works. For ease, this part is divided into six contextualising areas: Family, Society, Sex, Patriarchy, Religion, Mental Illness. I then turn to the idea of ‘bearing witness’ in these novels, as well as in my own, and investigate how and why Doyle and Enright bear witness in this form, and what implications it has for the success of their writing and the public reception of their work. This chapter is divided into three parts: firstly A Call to Arms which examines initial ideas of bearing witness in works of fiction; the next part The Novel as Investigation concerns the investigative elements of bearing witness in a novel, using a quasi-legal context or other form of investigative framework; the third part, entitled Fact vs Fiction deals with testimony in fiction, contrasted with other forms of writing such as poetry and memoir. Thus, through fictionalising and examining domestic abuse in my own and others’ work, I hope that I can bear witness not just to those close to me who have experienced abuse but to those others who have not (yet), to adopt the language of Time magazine, broken their silence.

It is my intention to offer an intellectual analysis of clown theatre creation as well as a practical account in order to provide a balanced and realistic understanding of the topic. The first chapter explores clown theatre in terms of its social impact and general significance in our culture. The second chapter identifies and examines some of the more popular pedagogical approaches to clown training. The final chapter details my own experience of clown theatre creation. I end the exploration with an account of my own impression of my experience so that it may benefit me and my reader in the future. As well, I reflect upon how my cultural understanding of clown theatre relates to my practice as well as to the creative process in general.

description: The initial homoepitaxial growth of SrTiO3 on a (\surd13\times\surd13) - R33.7°SrTiO3(001) substrate surface, which can be prepared under oxide growth conditions, is atomically resolved by scanning tunneling microscopy. The identical (\surd13\times\surd13) atomic structure is clearly visualized on the deposited SrTiO3 film surface as well as on the substrate. This result indicates the transfer of the topmost Ti-rich (\surd13\times\surd13) structure to the film surface and atomic-scale coherent epitaxy at the film/substrate interface. Such atomically ordered SrTiO3 substrates can be applied to the fabrication of atom-by-atom controlled oxide epitaxial films and heterostructures.

We consider a closed curve ${\cal C}$ on ${\cal S}$ which divides ${\cal S}$ into two parts ${\cal S}_1$ and ${\cal S}_2$. In particular, ${\cal C} = \partial {\cal S}_1$ is the boundary curve of ${\cal S}_1$. We are interested in solving a boundary value problem for the Laplace-Beltrami operator in $§_2$, with boundary data prescribed on $\C$.

description: There is a great deal of controversy regarding the fate of glaciers and ice fields on the Tibetan Plateau in the face of continued anthropogenic global warming. Paleoclimate reconstructions and spatial analyses aimed at mapping past climate changes are the key to understanding the climatic response of the Tibetan Plateau to changing conditions. Specifically, the numerous lakes distributed across the Tibetan Plateau can provide high-resolution (spatial and temporal) climate reconstructions to investigate past changes in the climate system. In this paper, we review the primary limitation to exploiting these valuable paleoclimate archives: errors in radiocarbon-based age models. We review the techniques that have been used to estimate 14C reservoir ages on the Tibetan Plateau and compile the published 14C reservoir ages to examine their spatial and temporal patterns and to assess the imposed chronological uncertainties. Using site-specific evaluations of Bangong Co and Lake Qinghai, we demonstrate that 14C age model uncertainties permit equally probable and contrasting interpretations of existing paleoclimate records. We also examine 14C-induced uncertainties in the spatial climatic response on the Tibetan Plateau to (1) the termination of the Last Glacial Maximum and (2) the Holocene Thermal Maximum. We conclude with recommendations for reducing uncertainties in future lake-based paleoclimate studies on the Tibetan Plateau.

description: The importance of nuclear reactions in low-density astrophysical plasmas with ion temperatures $T \geq 10^{10}$ K has been recognized for more than thirty years. However, the lack of comprehensive data banks of relevant nuclear reactions and the limited computational power have not previously allowed detailed theoretical studies. Recent developments in these areas make it timely to conduct comprehensive studies on the nuclear properties of very hot plasmas formed around compact relativistic objects such as black holes and neutron stars. Such studies are of great interest in the context of scientific programs of future low-energy cosmic $γ$-ray spectrometry. In this work, using the publicly available code TALYS, we have built a large nuclear network relevant for temperatures exceeding $10^{10}$ K. We have studied the evolution of the chemical composition and accompanying prompt gamma-ray emission of such high temperature plasmas. We present the results on the abundances of light elements D, T, $^3$He, $^4$He, $^{6}$Li, $^{7}$Li $^{9}$Be, $^{10}$B, $^{11}$B, and briefly discuss their implications on the astrophysical abundances of these elements.

description: The Supreme Court is entering a new era, discarding long‐standing legal doctrines to reshape the relationship between the states and the federal government. Paralleling trends in the legislative and executive branches of government, the Court is constructing its own version of devolution. Through a reinterpretation of the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, which is the anchor for many of our civil rights and social welfare laws, the Court has severely curtailed the power of the federal government to enact progressive legislation. This article provides an overview of this new judicial doctrine and discusses its implications for social welfare policy.

description: A Phase I archaeological investigation was conducted by Richard Grubb & Associates, Inc. for Ogden Environmental and Energy Services Co., Inc. on behalf of the Historic Preservation Office, Environmental Division, Directorate of Public Works, U.S. Army, Fort Dix, New Jersey at the site of a proposed leach field and septic tank for the proposed Ammunition Storage Point (ASP) in Tactical Training Area 5D, Fort Dix Military Installation, New Hanover Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. Testing occurred in the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the preferred and alternative locations o f the leach field and septic tank (approximately 1.7 acres). The UTM coordinates for the center of the APE are Zone 18, North 4428660, East 536150.
Background research indicated a moderate probability of locating significant prehistoric remains within the APE and revealed that no historic structures were located in the APE.
In the northern section of the APE, a 100 foot by 150 foot block (0.3 acres) was tested at the preferred location of the leach field and septic tank. In the southern section of the APE, a 300 foot by 200 foot block (1.4 acres) was tested at the alternative location for the leach field and septic tank. A total of 50 shovel test pits were excavated, from which no cultural material was recovered. No potentially significant resources were identified and no further investigation is recommended.

description: The nearly well-ordered double perovskite La$_2$CrFeO$_6$ has been synthesized recently. Contrary to previous theoretical predictions, but in agreement with experimental observations, our first principle calculations indicate an insulating ferrimagnet La$_2$CrFeO$_6$ with antialigned S=3/2 Cr$^{3+}$ and S=5/2 Fe$^{3+}$ ions,using the local spin density approximation (LSDA), a correlated band theory LDA+U, and a semilocal functional modified Becke-Johnson method. Additionally, we investigated the double perovskite Sr$_2$CrFeO$_6$, which is as yet unsynthesized. In LSDA calculations, this system shows formally tetravalent Cr and Fe ions both having antialigned $S$=1 moments, but is a simple metal. Once applying on-site Coulomb repulsion U on both Cr and Fe ions, this system becomes half-metallic and the moment of Fe is substantially reduced, resulting in zero net moment. These results are consistent with our fixed spin moment studies. Our results suggest a precisely compensated half-metallic Sr$_2$CrFeO$_6$.

The Invariance of Market Innovation to the Number of Firms

description: This article provides a set of conditions under which the R&D undertaken in a market economy is invariant to the number (or size distribution) of firms and the market's allocation is efficient (i.e., given the aggregate expenditure, the market chooses socially optimal projects). As in several patent race studies, we assume that a "winner-takes-all" competition determines firms' gains, but our model differs from earlier studies in that firms are not restricted to undertake only one research project. Our analysis shows that how one characterizes a firm's choices (and innovation technologies) has a strong influence on the conclusions one draws from economic analyses of R&D.

description: We report the crystal growth and structural, magnetic, conductivity, and specific heat investigations of Rb(1-x)Fe(2-y)Se2 single crystals with varying stoichiometry prepared by self-flux and Bridgman methods. The system exhibits a strongly anisotropic antiferromagnetic behavior below 400 K. For 1.53 <2-y< 1.6 superconductivity is found, whereas for Fe concentrations 2-y< 1.5 and 2-y> 1.6 insulating and semiconducting behavior is observed, respectively. The sharpest transition to the superconducting state and the highest transition temperature T_c of 32.4 K is found for compositions close to Rb2Fe4Se5. A critical current density j_c of 1.6*10^4 A/cm^2 (at 2 K) is obtained in the superconducting samples with the highest diamagnetic response. In these samples additional intense x-ray reflexes appear, which are incompatible with the tetragonal symmetry. Upper critical fields H_{c2} of ~250 kOe for the in-plane and 630 kOe for the inter-plane configurations are estimated from resistivity in magnetic fields parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis, respectively. In the non-superconducting samples with the Fe concentration below 1.45 both specific heat and susceptibility revealed an anomaly at 220 K which is not related to antiferromagnetic or structural transformations. Comparison with the magnetic behavior of non-superconducting samples provides evidence for the coexistence of superconductivity and static antiferromagnetic order.
