description: In this study, we use the density functional theory (DFT) calculations and the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the performance of graphenylene--1 membrane for hydrogen ($H_2$) purification and helium ($He$) separation. The stability of this membrane is confirmed by calculating its cohesive energy. Our results show that a surmountable energy barrier for $H_2$ (0.384 eV) and $He$ (0.178 eV) molecules passing through graphenylene-1 membrane. At room temperature, the selectivity of $H_2$/$CO_2$, $H_2$/$N_2$, $H_2$/$CO$ and $H_2$/$CH_4$ are obtained as $3 \times 10^{27}$, $2 \times 10^{18}$, $1 \times 10^{17}$ and $6 \times 10^{46}$, respectively. Furthermore, we demonstrate that graphenylene-1 membrane exhibits the permeance of $H_2$ and He molecules are much higher than the value of them in the current industrial applications specially at temperatures above 300 K and 150 K, respectively. We further performed MD simulations to confirm the results of DFT calculations. All these results show that graphenylene-1 monolayer membrane is an excellent candidate for $H_2$ purification and He separation.
Songs of Ishq, Freedom and Rebellion: Selected Kafis of Bulleh Shah in Translation
Creators: name: Sattar, Zainab
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: Abdullah Shah (1680-1757) was the birth name of the boy who would later become one of the most eminent Sufi poets of South Asia, and the master of Sufi lyrics in Punjabi—Bulleh Shah. Living during times of strife and major conflict between the Sikhs and the crumbling Mughal Empire, Bulleh Shah wrote poetry with an underlying humanist and tolerant philosophy that challenged the turmoil of his times. Blind to the bounds of religion and caste in an increasingly divided India, Bullah’s spiritual philosophy and his message of equality found voice in his kafis—a genre of poetry indigenous to the Indian subcontinent that can be seen as a form of folk ballad.
This project offers translations of 15 kafis from his identifiable corpus, preceded by a substantial introductionFurthermore, the project is accompanied. Each kafi is presented in three translations—literal, functional, and oral. The selected kafis draw on the three dominant themes in his work—Ishq, rebellion, and freedom. Scans of the original kafis in Shahmuki script Punjabi have been provided. Furthermore, the project is accompanied by an interpretive composition of the translated kafi “What Times, What Strange Times,” which was a collaboration between the author of the thesis, Akshaya Tucker, and Jacob Scharfman.

description: Electrophilic amination reaction was performed with lower order and higher order organocuprates using acetone O-(4-Chlorophenylsulfonyl)oxime (1). It was proceeded smoothly at room temperature in the presence of organocuprates to provide the corresponding primary amines in good yields with 10 and 60 min, respectively. The primary amine yields of the electrophilic amination of bromomagnesium organocyanocuprates and dibromomagnesium diorganocyanocuprates were obtained 52–72% and 58–83%, respectively. We observed that higher order organocuprates were more successful than lower order organocuprates in the synthesis of functionalized arylamines by electrophilic amination.

A Study On the Mutual Replacements of Three des in Chinese Blogs
Creators: name: Sha, Hui
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: Three des, as structural particles in Chinese, are phonologically the same, but written differently. Through analyzing the written forms of these three homophonous particles, the research has come to some valuable conclusions that cannot be obtained by only observing the speaking language of Chinese. This paper studies the relationships among three “des” (de1 as “的”; de2 as “地”; de3 as “得”), which function as structural particles in the written language of Chinese, by examining their mutual replacements in blogs. The research regards every living language as a Complex Adaptive System (CAS) with continuing changes. So this study’s perspective not only helps us understand more deeply the structures with three des, but also opens a new window to explore the variation of Chinese on the cognitive linguistic layer, including syntactic and semantic aspects. Through analyzing the authentic data, which is obtained from a corpus built of articles in personal blogs including 400,000 Chinese characters, there are several worthy findings. First, the mutual replacements are asymmetric along with the generalization of de1. Secondly, there is a positive correlation between the frequency of replacements and the linguistic positive relevance among the three des, especially the syntactic and semantic aspects. Finally, the replacements among the vii three des present a diverse and complicated situation when investigating the written forms of idiolects. The syntactic factor plays the main role in the replacements among the three des. The related degree of de1 & de2 is significantly higher than the one of de1 & de3, which is especially obvious on the writers with relatively frequent replacements.
A Class of Collisions of Plane Impulsive Light--Like Signals in General Relativity

description: We present a systematic study of collisions of homogeneous, plane--fronted, impulsive light--like signals which do not interact after head--on collision. For the head--on collision of two such signals, six real parameters are involved, three from each of the incoming signals. We find two necessary conditions to be satisfied by these six parameters for the signals to be non--interacting after collision. We then solve the collision problem in general when these necessary conditions hold. After collision the two signals focus each other at Weyl curvature singularities on each others signal front. Our family of solutions contains some known collision solutions as special cases.

description: Space interferometry is the inevitable endpoint of high angular resolution astrophysics, and a key technology that can be leveraged to analyse exoplanet formation and atmospheres with exceptional detail. However, the anticipated cost of large missions such as Darwin and TPF-I, and inadequate technology readiness levels have resulted in limited developments since the late 2000s. Here, we present a feasibility study into a small scale formation flying interferometric array in Low Earth Orbit, that will aim to prove the technical concepts involved with space interferometry while still making unique astrophysical measurements. We will detail the proposed system architecture and metrology system, as well as present orbital simulations that show that the array should be stable enough to perform interferometry with < 50m/s/year delta-v and one thruster per spacecraft. We also conduct observability simulations to identify which parts of the sky are visible for a given orbital configuration. We conclude with optimism that this design is achievable, but a more detailed control simulation factoring in a demonstrated metrology system is the next step to demonstrate full mission feasibility.

Numerical Simulation of High Velocity Impact of a Single Polymer Particle during Cold Spray Deposition
Creators: name: Shah, Sagar P
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: Abstract
The cold spray process is an additive manufacturing technology primarily suited for ductile metals, and mainly utilized in coating surfaces, manufacturing of freeform parts and repair of damaged components. The process involves acceleration of solid micro-particles in a supersonic gas flow and coating build-up by bonding upon high velocity impact onto a substrate. Coating deposition relies on the kinetic energy of the particles. The main objective of this study was to investigate the mechanics of polymer cold spray process and deformation behavior of polymers to improve technological implementation of the process.
A finite element model was created to simulate metal particle impact for copper and aluminum. These results were compared to the numerical and experimental results found in the literature to validate the model. This model was then extended to cover a wide range of impact conditions, in order to reveal the governing mechanisms of particle impact and rebound during cold spray.
A systematic analysis of a single high-density polyethylene particle impacting on a semi-infinite high density polyethylene substrate was carried out for initial velocities ranging between 150m/s and 250m/s by using the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. A series of numerical simulations were performed to study the effect of a number of key parameters on the particle impact dynamics. These key parameters include: particle impact velocity, particle temperature, particle diameter, and particle density, composition of the polyethylene particle, surface composition and the thickness of a polyethylene film on a hard metal substrate. The effect of these parameter variations were quantified by tracking the particle temperature, deformation, plastic strain and rebound kinetic energy. The variation of these parameters helped define a window of deposition where the particle is mostly likely to adhere to the substrate.

description: We develop an analytic mass model for lensing galaxies, based on a broken power-law (BPL) density profile, which is a power-law profile with a mass deficit or surplus in the central region. Under the assumption of an elliptically symmetric surface mass distribution, the deflection angle and magnification can be evaluated analytically for this new model. We compute the theoretical prediction for various quantities, including the volume and surface mass density profiles of the galaxies, and the aperture and luminosity-weighted line-of-sight velocity dispersions, and compare them to those measured from the Illustris simulation. We find an excellent agreement between our model prediction and the simulation, which validates our modeling. The high efficiency and accuracy of our model manifests itself as a promising tool for studying properties of galaxies with strong lensing.

description: Optical conductivity [$σ(ω)$] of CeRhIn$_5$ and YbNi$_3$Ga$_9$ have been measured at external pressures to 10 GPa and at low temperatures to 6 K. Regarding CeRhIn$_5$, at ambient pressure the main feature in $σ(ω)$ is a Drude peak due to free carriers. With increasing pressure, however, a characteristic mid-infrared (mIR) peak rapidly develops in $σ(ω)$, and its peak energy and width increase with pressure. These features are consistent with an increased conduction ($c$)-$f$ electron hybridization at high pressure, and show that the pressure has tuned the electronic state of CeRhIn$_5$ from very weakly to strongly hybridized ones. As for YbNi$_3$Ga$_9$, in contrast, a marked mIR peak is observed already at ambient pressure, indicating a strong $c$-$f$ hybridization. At high pressures, however, the mIR peak shifts to lower energy and becomes diminished, and seems merged with the Drude component at 10 GPa. Namely, CeRhIn$_5$ and YbNi$_3$Ga$_9$ exhibit some opposite tendencies in the pressure evolutions of $σ(ω)$ and electronic structures. These results are discussed in terms of the pressure evolutions of $c$-$f$ hybridized electronic states in Ce and Yb compounds, in particular in terms of the electron-hole symmetry often considered between Ce and Yb compounds.

I will discuss new directions in data analysis and some novel methods that could prove to be particularly valuable for finding evidence of any new physics, for improving precision measurements and for exploring parameter spaces of theoretical models.

Re-envisioning a Discipline: Martin Wickramasinghe’s Contribution to Comparative Literature
Creators: name: Somirathna, Chamila
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: This thesis, “Re-visioning a Discipline: Martin Wickramasinghe’s Contribution to Comparative Literature,” explores the comparative approach of Martin Wickramasinghe, the pioneering twentieth-century Sri Lankan novelist, literary-cultural critic, and journalist. Wickramasinghe drew on Sinhala folk and classical, Pali, Sanskrit, and Western literary traditions, especially those of England, and Russia. His comparative approach had two main principles: First, literary concepts do not belong to any literary culture on the basis of their origin. Second, any concept that exists in a given literary culture can be “remoulded” and incorporated by another culture. The rejection of the notion of origin-based ownership of literary concepts and the reformulation of literary concepts as phenomena that may be circulated among literary cultures create a hierarchy-less base for comparison. In creating his comparative approach, Wickramasinghe problematized the binaries of local and metropolitan, village and city, and national and international. I examine his comparative approach by analyzing, first, his re-interpretations of the concepts of reader and grāmyatā (vulgarity). For example, Wickramasinghe challenged the elitism of Sanskrit literary theoretical conceptions of the reader and vulgarity. Second, I discuss how he “remoulded” different literary concepts in his theoretical writings and fiction. For example, he created a concept of realism that drew on classical Sinhala narratives as well as Western literature and theory.
In this thesis, I place Wickramasinghe’s comparative approach in conversation with postcolonial scholarship such as that of Dipesh Chakrabarty, Simon Gikandi, Revathi Krishnaswamy, Gayathri Spivak, and S. Subramaniam. Wickramasinghe’s comparative approach provides us new insights on how to compare different literary cultures without ascribing hierarchical values to these cultures. He rejected the binaries of colonial and postcolonial Sri Lanka and, instead, situated himself in a liminal position. His writings illumine how Pali, Sanskrit, and European metropolitan literary traditions all impacted Sinhala literary culture in different historical periods. Wickramasinghe focused on how Sinhala literary culture appropriates literary concepts from other literary traditions rather than on the traditions themselves.

description: The micro-spectrometer Argus 1000 being in space continuously monitors the sources and sinks of the trace gases. It is commonly believed that among other gases $\text{CO}_\text{2}$ is the major contributor causing the greenhouse effect. Argus 1000 along its orbit gathers the valuable spectral data that can be analyzed and retrieved. In this paper we present the retrieval of $\text{CO}_\text{2}$ gas in the near infrared window $1580$ to $1620$ nm by using line-by-line code GENSPECT. The retrieved Argus 1000 space data taken over British Columbia on May 31, 2010 indicates an enhancement of $\text{CO}_\text{2}$ by about $30\%$.

description: The rare decay $b \to s γ$ is studied in the left-right supersymmetric model. We give explicit expressions for all the amplitudes associated with the supersymmetric contributions coming from gluinos, charginos and neutralinos in the model to one-loop level. The branching ratio is enhanced significantly compared to the standard model and minimal supersymmetric standard model values by contributions from the right-handed gaugino and squark sector. We give numerical results coming from the leading order contributions. If the only source of flavor violation comes from the CKM matrix, we constrain the scalar fermion-gaugino sector. If intergenerational mixings are allowed in the squark mass matrix, we constrain such supersymmetric sources of flavor violation. The decay $b \to s γ$ sets constraints on the parameters of the model and provides distinguishing signs from other supersymmetric scenarios.

Production Economics

description: This paper analyzes linkages between growth, trade and the environment in Mexican agriculture with an empirical economy-wide model. The investigation considers trade liberalization, environmental policy reform, and their coordination. The analysis decomposes the change in pollution emission induced by changes in the sectoral composition of production, effects of technology on emission intensity, and aggregate scale effects. Outward orientation alone induces a contraction of aggregate agricultural output, but promotes growth and pollution in some agricultural sectors. Overall, free trade does not induce wholesale specialization in dirty agricultural activities. Environmental taxes on pollution emitted in agricultural sectors have a moderate negative impact on agricultural output, except for the tax on water-borne toxic chemicals. More liberal trade combined with targeted effluent taxes can achieve significant environmental mitigation and efficiency gains, but with the implication of a contraction of most agricultural sectors.

 Type material. This subspecies was described from seven specimens collected from the Indian Ocean sector of the Antarctic. The Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University has two syntype lots (Mb–1049 & 1050).
 Diagnosis. According to Vinogradov (1962) and Vinogradov et al. (1982); like typical form except for the following. Length of sexually mature specimens 27 mm. Individuals of all ages have distal corner of pleonites produced into small dorsal denticle, that of pleonite 1 much stouter than for typical forms. Gnathopod 1 with slightly more elongated propodus. Uropoda with relatively longer and narrower rami. The latter two characters are more obvious in younger specimens (7–12 mm) becoming less obvious in larger individuals.
 Remarks. I have not seen any specimens of this subspecies but accept its validity based on the observations of Vinogradov (1962). Most of the specimens of the typical form that I have examined have poorly developed dorsal denticles on pereonite 7 and the pleonites, or they are absent, particularly in smaller individuals.
 Distribution. Apparently only known from the type material from the Indian Ocean sector of the Antarctic, from 55ºS to the coastal waters of the Antarctic continent (Davis Sea); in hauls from 4500 m to the surface and 240– 600 m.

description: This study's objectives were to determine factors influencing smallholder farmers' adoption of a stall-feeding management system for improved dairy cattle in semiarid Tanzania and other related technology packages. Heckman's two-stage procedure was used to determine factors influencing participation in the project and the adoption of recommended management practices. Stall-feeding technology is particularly attractive to those households with fewer resources particularly those that are female headed. Wealthier farmers, as measured by area of land cultivated, are less likely to adopt the stall-feeding technology. Household labour is found to be important in determining the degree to which the technology and associated management practices were adopted. Age of the household head has a positive impact on the size of the intensive feed gardens. Different measures of extension-related contact are significant in influencing the potential for adopting stall-fed technology, the number of stall-fed cattle kept, the probability of growing water melons, and the size of intensive feed gardens. The implications are that research and extension messages with reference to the stall-feeding management system need to be targeted to specific types of households (e.g., female farmers, those with children to provide labor, and limited resource farms). This supports the notion that technology development and dissemination need to be sensitive not only to the characteristics of the biophysical environment but also to the socioeconomic environment, which is often neglected. The study also demonstrates that in the poorer parts of the world where land is very limited, a strategy for improving ecological sustainability can be linked closely to one for increasing agricultural productivity.
Probiotics as a Treatment for Increased Nighttime Activity in Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) Displaying Self-Injurious Behavior
Creators: name: Stanwicks, Lauren L
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: Self-injurious behavior (SIB) is a behavioral pathology seen in a small percentage of humans and non-human primates. In one previous study, macaques with SIB had more sleep disruption than controls, but observations were limited. Two studies were conducted: a baseline study to investigate nighttime activity in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) displaying SIB and controls, and a probiotic study to assess probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 for high nighttime activity. Subjects were 13 rhesus macaques, 5 with SIB (3 females; 1 SIB). Videocapture of Nighttime Activity (VNRA) was developed to record in complete darkness. IR-receptive webcams were connected to a laptop running ISPYCONNECT, software which recorded movement. Subjects were observed during the entire lights-off period (8pm-7am). Measures included total movement time (TMT), movement in hour 1 (HR1) and hour 11 (HR11), and number of videos. In the baseline, SIB subjects had higher TMT (pBifidobacterium infantis 35624 had no effect on sleep disruption, and also that increased nighttime activity seems to be a persistent characteristic of SIB subjects. It is unknown if increased nighttime activity affects SIB subjects; it may result in elevated SIB, or the SIB pathology could result in sleep disruption.
Fault Interaction within Restraining Bend Fault Systems
Creators: name: Stern, Aviel Rachel
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: Numerical simulations of a 15° restraining bend analog claybox experiment include considering the fault geometry, rheology, and boundary conditions. The numerical models show that a growing fault from an analog experiment propagates at depth rather than at the surface and is exposed in later stages of the experiment, and that the wet kaolin clay from the analog experiment is partially decoupled from the steel plate. The numerical models provide the stresses to predict accurate fault growth from the analog experiment and provide the evolution of external work within the fault system. The external work from the numerical models decrease as faults continue to grow, which agrees with the continuously increasing kinematic efficiency within the analog experiment.
Three-dimensional mechanical models are used to simulate the southern San Andreas fault. These models show that incorporating fault interaction, time since last earthquake rupture, and nearby earthquakes affects the stress state along a fault. Absolute shear tractions are calculated by multiplying time since last earthquake rupture with the simulated interseismic stressing rates for each fault strand. From our multi-cycle model, fault interaction affects local normal stressing rates so that the stresses are not relieved in between earthquakes. We provide our absolute shear tractions and scale our multi-cycle normal stressing rates to be near to failure so that dynamic rupture modelers from University of California, Riverside use our results to simulate earthquake propagation for the complex fault region of the San Gorgonio Pass.

description: We examine travelling wave solutions of the Porous-Fisher model, $\partial_t u(x,t)= u(x,t)\left[1-u(x,t)\right] + \partial_x \left[u(x,t) \partial_x u(x,t)\right]$, with a Stefan-like condition at the moving front, $x=L(t)$. Travelling wave solutions of this model have several novel characteristics. These travelling wave solutions: (i) move with a speed that is slower than the more standard Porous-Fisher model, $c<1/\sqrt{2}$; (ii) never lead to population extinction; (iii) have compact support and a well-defined moving front, and (iv) the travelling wave profiles have an infinite slope at the moving front. Using asymptotic analysis in two distinct parameter regimes, $c \to 0^+$ and $c \to 1/\sqrt{2}\,^-$, we obtain closed-form mathematical expressions for the travelling wave shape and speed. These approximations compare well with numerical solutions of the full problem.

description: Urban spatial expansion resulting from urbanization in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is growing and will not stabilize in the near future. Sub-Saharan Africa’s urban growth rate is climbing faster than developing economies. Efforts should be concentrated on accommodating this phenomenon through the promotion of sustainable urban planning and development.
Relying on secondary data, this research examines models of indigenous Sub-Saharan African urban forms and residential architecture vernacular to understand these forms and their characteristics, and how these models and associated management, design, and planning principles can be adopted in a contemporary context. Also, studies of established indigenous building materials and technology, which can be adapted to suit a low-cost and sustainable economy, are explored.

Specific Phosphate Sorption Mechanisms of Unaltered and Altered Biochar
Creators: name: Szerlag, Kathryn D
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: Biochar has been shown to act as an effective sorbent for many organic and inorganic contaminants (including phosphate) and can help to improve the quality of our fresh water resources by preventing eutrophication. Most of the high efficiency biochar phosphate-adsorbent feedstocks are modified with chemical pretreatment, phytoremediation or anaerobic digestion to accumulate desired elements. The main objectives of this project were to first engineer magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) altered biochar by chemical pretreatment followed by pyrolysis at either 350 or 550°C and evaluate their phosphate adsorption rate and potential as compared to their unaltered counterparts. Determination of surface physiochemical characteristics of the unaltered (U350 and U550), Mg-altered (Mg350 and Mg550), and Ca-altered (Ca350 and Ca550) hardwood biochars was also completed. The unaltered biochars did not adsorb any phosphate which was likely due to a lack of Mg or Ca and crystalline structures as confirmed by ICP-AES and XRD. Adsorption kinetics revealed that both the Ca-altered and Mg-altered biochars took about 10 days to reach equilibrium. The Langmuir isotherm model was the best fitting model for all altered biochars and Mg550 adsorbed the most phosphate with a Langmuir maximum capacity (Q) of 135.8 mg/g at pH 9. XRD spectra confirmed crystallinity for both the Ca-altered and Mg-altered biochars for calcite (CaCO3) on the Ca-altered biochar and both periclase (MgO) and brucite (Mg(OH)2)on the Mg-altered biochars. SEM images of Mg550 followed by EDS confirmed the presence of nano-sized flakes on the biochar surface and identified them as the primary phosphate adsorption sites. SEM images of Ca550 identified globular, rather than flakey structures on the biochar surface and EDS offered further confirmation that these were calcite minerals. Although Ca350 and Ca550 adsorbed phosphate from solution, Mg350 and Mg550 exhibited a much greater phosphate sorption potential with Q at 18.91, 16.34, 39.59 and 135.8 mg/g (pH 9), respectively. This may be attributed to the morphological differences between the highly crystalline flake-like structures of the Mg altered biochars and the globular structures on the surface of the Ca altered biochars. The mechanisms revealed for phosphate sorption include electrostatic interactions, precipitation, and ligand exchange.
Utilizing Nutritive Sweeteners to Control Lipid Oxidation in Low Moisture Baked Goods

description: In this study, we determined the effect of nutritive sweeteners at 0 to 0.50 moles/kg on lipid oxidation in a model cookie system. Confocal microscopy using Bodipy 493 as a fat soluble dye showed that the fat formed a continuous phase surrounding the starch granules regardless of sugar type. The impact of glucose concentration on lipid oxidation was monitored by lipid hydroperoxides and headspace hexanal during storage at 55°C. Low concentrations of glucose (0.09) were strong inhibitors. At equal molar concentrations, reducing sugars (glucose and fructose) inhibited lipid oxidation, greater than a two months increase in lag phase compared to the control. Sucrose inhibited lipid oxidation, but to a much lesser extent than reducing sugars. The inhibition of lipid oxidation is potentially due to sugar’s ability to bind water. Additionally, reducing sugars may exhibit this effect due to their ability to act as a hydrogen donor which could inactivate free radicals or due to the production of Maillard reaction products (MRPs). For example, the l-values were lower and b-values were higher for cookies with non-reducing sugars compared to cookies with sucrose indicating that there were more MRPs. The addition of cysteine, sulfites, and ascorbic acid acted as a strong browning inhibitors however cysteine was showed to be antioxidative. When compared to synthetic antioxidants, glucose proved to be a strong natural alternative. These results could be utilized to develop effective means of controlling water activity and extending shelf-life of low moisture baked goods.

Periodic orbit analysis of an elastodynamic resonator using shape deformation

Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: We report the first definitive experimental observation of periodic orbits (POs) in the spectral properties of an elastodynamic system. The Fourier transform of the density of flexural modes show peaks that correspond to stable and unstable POs of a clover shaped quartz plate. We change the shape of the plate and find that the peaks corresponding to the POs that hit only the unperturbed sides are unchanged proving the correspondence. However, an exact match to the length of the main POs could be made only after a small rescaling of the experimental results. Statistical analysis of the level dynamics also shows the effect of the stable POs.

 Type material. This subspecies was described from three specimens collected from the West Bering Sea. The ZMMU has two syntypes (Mb-1042 & 1043).
 Diagnosis. According to Vinogradov (1956, 1957) and Vinogradov et al. (1982); like typical form except for the following. Length of sexually mature specimens 9–11 mm. Pleonites and urosomites are relatively broader. Pereopod 7; carpus is shorter than merus. Telson is relatively longer, almost as long as peduncle of U3. Additionally, in sexually mature males, the callynophore of A1 is particularly broad and richly pubescent on the anterior margin.
 Remarks. I have not seen any specimens of this subspecies but accept its validity based on the observations of Vinogradov (1956, 1957) and Vinogradov et al. (1982).
 Distribution. Known mainly from colder waters having been recorded from the north-west Pacific north of 40ºN and Antarctic waters. Vinogradov (1964) also recorded two specimens from the mid-Indian Ocean. Vinogradov et al. (1982) regard it one of the deepest water hyperiideans, possibly inhabiting only the abyssopelagic zone (deeper than 2500–3000 m).

description: We investigate the role of an effective dimension-4 axino-quark-squark coupling in the thermal processes producing stable cold axino relics in the early Universe. We find that, while the induced squark and quark scattering processes are always negligible, squark decays become important in the case of low reheat temperature and large gluino mass. The effect can tighten the bounds on the scenario from the requirement that cold dark matter axinos do not overclose the Universe.

description: This paper reviews the role of national administered protection agencies, whose primary responsibility is the enforcement of national trade remedy laws. After reviewing four recent cases of trade disputes between Canada and the United States, it is argued that the role of national administered protection agencies should be changed. The growth of regional trading blocks, the increasing use of anti-dumping and countervailing duty actions against fairly traded imports and the additional responsibilities assumed by the WTO in administering the Agreement on Agriculture strongly suggest that all trade disputes should be taken to the WTO for settlement. The role of national administered protection agencies should be changed to make them agents for trade liberalization. This would involve these agencies taking on three primary functions: (i) as transparency agents; (ii) as investigatory agents; and (iii) as advocacy agents.
