The "San Bernadino” of Sahagún’s Psalmodia
Creators: name: Anderson, Arthur James Outram
Publisher: name: INDIANA
Year: 1984

description: Sahagún escribió su "Psalmodia Christiana" después de 1558.Era la única obra publicada aún durante su vida, en 1583. Para su redacción procedió como de costumbre: ayudantes indígenas, formados por él mismo y por sus colegas en el Colegio de Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco, realizaron la escritura y le ayudaron a mantener el texto náhuatl libre de idolatrías y de herejías. Con la "Psalmodia" intentó Sahagún crear un substituto aceptable para las pasadas tradiciones indígenas. De esta colección se publica aquí el salmo " In die Sancti Bernardini" en su versión náhuatl con la correspondiente traducción inglesa.

Sahagún's Tonalpohualli
Creators: name: Dibble, Charles E.
Publisher: name: INDIANA
Year: 1984

description: Se procedió a examinar el Tonalpohualli con el propósito de esclarecer la relación de las investigaciones tempranas de Sahagún en Tepepulco y su posteriormente iniciada elaboración de la "Historia" en Tlatelolco. La estructura básica de veinte grupos de 13 días es idéntica en ambos, pero el punto de partida es diferente. Las características buenas/malas relativas a los grupos, respectivamente los días principales de cada grupo, con unas pocas excepciones, concuerdan asimismo. La importancia de la posición del día sólo se destaca en los manuscritos de Tlatelolco. En Tepepulco se recalca muy en especial la diferenciación entre comunes y nobles, mientras que los materiales de Tlatelolco se refieren sobre todo a los comerciantes. De estos resultados se deduce que Sahagún ocupó su material de Tepepulco como base para la posterior elaboración, pero sólo en el sentido de que se dejó guiar por éste para sus nuevas investigaciones, y que de ningún modo se trata de una forma de adopción directa.

description: We present a novel integral representation for the biharmonic Dirichlet problem. To obtain the representation, the Dirichlet problem is first converted into a related Stokes problem for which the Sherman-Lauricella integral representation can be used. Not all potentials for the Dirichlet problem correspond to a potential for Stokes flow, and vice-versa, but we show that the integral representation can be augmented and modified to handle either simply or multiply connected domains. The resulting integral representation has a kernel which behaves better on domains with high curvature than existing representations. Thus, this representation results in more robust computational methods for the solution of the Dirichlet problem of the biharmonic equation and we demonstrate this with several numerical examples.

Aztec Calendar of 20,176 Non-Repeating Years in Codex Borhonicus, pp. 21-22

description: A partir de 1880 se han hecho numerosos esfuerzos infructuosos por explicar la relación de una aparente rueda calendárica marcada por 52 días portadores del año en secuencia regular, con una secuencia enigmática de los nueve Señores de la Noche. La conexión pretendida por el escriba precolombino, sin embargo, era simple. Se explica perfectamente al comprobar que la intrincada secuencia de los nueve Señores de la Noche se convierte en una serie repetida de 20.176 vagos años solares de 365 días, luego de completar dos expansiones periódicas de la aparente rueda calendárica. Estas expansiones constan de (7 x 52) + 1 = 365, y (8 x 52) + 1 = 417, como se muestra en el cuadro 4. Todas las condiciones de la computación calendárica mesoamericana son satisfechas con la solución de presumir una sola continuidad (comprobada en 1929 por J.E.S. Thompson para la serie maya de los nueve Señores de la Noche). La solución propuesta aquí para estas dos páginas del Códice Borbónico, ni origina problemas intrínsecos a la rueda calendárica ampliada conectada con los nueve Señores de la Noche, ni es refutada por ninguna otra fuente primaria conocida.

description: The causal structure of any system can be analyzed at a multitude of spatial and temporal scales. It has long been thought that while higher scale (macro) descriptions of causal structure may be useful to observers, they are at best a compressed description and at worse leave out critical information. However, recent research applying information theory to causal analysis has shown that the causal structure of some systems can actually come into focus (be more informative) at a macroscale (Hoel et al. 2013). That is, a macro model of a system (a map) can be more informative than a fully detailed model of the system (the territory). This has been called causal emergence. While causal emergence may at first glance seem counterintuitive, this paper grounds the phenomenon in a classic concept from information theory: Shannon's discovery of the channel capacity. I argue that systems have a particular causal capacity, and that different causal models of those systems take advantage of that capacity to various degrees. For some systems, only macroscale causal models use the full causal capacity. Such macroscale causal models can either be coarse-grains, or may leave variables and states out of the model (exogenous) in various ways, which can improve the model's efficacy and its informativeness via the same mathematical principles of how error-correcting codes take advantage of an information channel's capacity. As model choice increase, the causal capacity of a system approaches the channel capacity. Ultimately, this provides a general framework for understanding how the causal structure of some systems cannot be fully captured by even the most detailed microscopic model.

description: We define the beta-function of a perturbative quantum field theory in the mathematical framework introduced by Costello -- combining perturbative renormalization and the BV formalism -- as the cohomology class of a certain element in the obstruction-deformation complex. We show that the one-loop beta-function is a well-defined element of the local deformation complex for translation-invariant and classically scale-invariant theories, and furthermore that it is locally constant as a function on the space of classical interactions and computable as a rescaling anomaly, or as the logarithmic one-loop counterterm. We compute the one-loop beta-function in first-order Yang--Mills theory, recovering the famous asymptotic freedom for Yang--Mills in a mathematical context.

description: We reconsider the possibility that all standard model gauge couplings blow up at a common scale in the ultraviolet. The simplest implementation of this idea assumes supersymmetry and the addition of a single vector-like generation of matter fields around the TeV scale. We provide an up-to-date numerical study of this scenario and show that either the scale of the additional matter or the scale of supersymmetry breaking falls below potentially relevant LHC bounds. We then consider minimal extensions of the extra matter sector that raise its scale above the reach of the LHC, to determine whether there are cases that might be probed at a 100 TeV collider. We also consider the possibility that the heavy matter sector involves new gauge groups constrained by the same ultraviolet boundary condition, which in some cases can provide an explanation for the multiplicity of heavy states. We comment on the relevance of this framework to theories with dark and visible sectors.

Modeling the Vertical Structure of Nuclear Starburst Discs: A Possible Source of AGN Obscuration at $z\sim 1$

description: Nuclear starburst discs (NSDs) are star-forming discs that may be residing in the nuclear regions of active galaxies at intermediate redshifts. One dimensional (1D) analytical models developed by Thompson et al. (2005) show that these discs can possess an inflationary atmosphere when dust is sublimated on parsec scales. This make NSDs a viable source for AGN obscuration. We model the two dimensional (2D) structure of NSDs using an iterative method in order to compute the explicit vertical solutions for a given annulus. These solutions satisfy energy and hydrostatic balance, as well as the radiative transfer equation. In comparison to the 1D model, the 2D calculation predicts a less extensive expansion of the atmosphere by orders of magnitude at the parsec/sub-parsec scale, but the new scale-height $h$ may still exceed the radial distance $R$ for various physical conditions. A total of 192 NSD models are computed across the input parameter space in order to predict distributions of a line of sight column density $N_H$. Assuming a random distribution of input parameters, the statistics yield 56% of Type 1, 23% of Compton-thin Type 2s (CN), and 21% of Compton-thick (CK) AGNs. Depending on a viewing angle ($θ$) of a particular NSD (fixed physical conditions), any central AGN can appear to be Type 1, CN, or CK which is consistent with the basic unification theory of AGNs. Our results show that $\log[N_H(\text{cm}^{-2})]\in$ [23,25.5] can be oriented at any $θ$ from 0$^\circ$ to $\approx$80$^\circ$ due to the degeneracy in the input parameters.

description: In this paper we introduce a fuzzy constraint linear discriminant analysis (FC-LDA). The FC-LDA tries to minimize misclassification error based on modified perceptron criterion that benefits handling the uncertainty near the decision boundary by means of a fuzzy linear programming approach with fuzzy resources. The method proposed has low computational complexity because of its linear characteristics and the ability to deal with noisy data with different degrees of tolerance. Obtained results verify the success of the algorithm when dealing with different problems. Comparing FC-LDA and LDA shows superiority in classification task.

description: Researchers have recognized cyber hygiene as an essential factor in reducing cybersecurity breaches. Factors affecting cyber hygiene practices are cyber hygiene knowledge and demographic factors. Inconclusive research has been found to be concerned with the extent of expertise and demographic factors that may affect cyber hygiene practices. This current pilot study aims to diagnose the effect of knowledge and demographic factors on cyber hygiene practices among professional youth in Malaysia. Forty-one usable questionnaires were further analyzed. The result showed no significant differences between demographic factors and cyber hygiene practices; and no significant relationship between knowledge and cyber hygiene practices among professional youth in Malaysia.

description: The Weyl semimetal NbP exhibits an extremely large magnetoresistance (MR) and an ultra-high mobility. The large MR originates from a combination of the nearly perfect compensation between electron- and hole-type charge carriers and the high mobility, which is relevant to the topological band structure. In this work we report on temperature- and field-dependent thermopower and thermal conductivity experiments on NbP. Additionally, we carried out complementary heat capacity, magnetization, and electrical resistivity measurements. We found a giant adiabatic magnetothermopower with a maximum of 800 $μ$V/K at 50 K in a field of 9 T. Such large effects have been observed rarely in bulk materials. We suggest that the origin of this effect might be related to the high charge-carrier mobility. We further observe pronounced quantum oscillations in both thermal conductivity and thermopower. The obtained frequencies compare well with our heat capacity and magnetization data.

description: The composition and abundance of weed-bed macro-invertebrates were assessed using data from Lake Tana from September, 2012 to May, 2013. Higher weed-bed macro-invertebrates density (6395ind/m2 inaverage) was recorded in the weed-infested sites. Ephemeroptera was the dominant taxa in weed-infested sites while Hemiptera in the non-infested sites. Statistically there were no significant spatial variations in the density of weed-bed macro-invertebrates in the weed infested and non-infested sites except coleopteran. Seasonally, however, Ephemeroptera, Diptera and Coleoptera showed highest peak density during the dry season in the weed-infested site. While, Hemiptera and Basommatophora, during the rainy reason and Diptera during post rainy season showed peak density in the non-infested sites. The results obtained from Hilsenhoff-Family Level Biotic Index H-FBI categorized site Ribas the highest organic and nutrient polluted site while site Debre-Sinaas the least perturbed site. Though, the results of H-FBI did not show clear difference between the weed-infested and non-infested sites, the observed spatial disparity in taxa may be explained by the variation in the density of prey items, interstitial space for refuge, and presence of predators coupled with small variations in physicochemical factors. Presence of higher density of beetle species of the families Dytiscidae and Hydrophylidae at the leaf and root interface of water hyacinth seemed to have association between them. Therefore, further investigation is recommended to see their effect and interactions with the weed so as to use those beetles as biological agent to control the weed.

Gradient terms in quantum-critical theories of itinerant fermions

description: We investigate the origin and renormalization of the gradient ($Q^2$) term in the propagator of soft bosonic fluctuations in theories of itinerant fermions near a quantum critical point (QCP) with $Q =0$. A common belief is that (i) the $Q^2$ term comes from fermions with high energies (roughly of order of the bandwidth) and, as such, should be included into the bare bosonic propagator of the effective low-energy model, and (ii) fluctuations within the low-energy model generate Landau damping of soft bosons, but affect the $Q^2$ term only weakly. We argue that the situation is in fact more complex. First, we found that the high- and low-energy contributions to the $Q^2$ term are of the same order. Second, we computed the high-energy contributions to the $Q^2$ term in two microscopic models (a Fermi gas with Coulomb interaction and the Hubbard model) and found that in all cases these contributions are numerically much smaller than the low-energy ones, blue especially in 2D. This last result is relevant for the behavior of observables at low energies, because the low-energy part of the $Q^2$ term is expected to flow when the effective mass diverges near QCP. If this term is the dominant one, its flow has to be computed self-consistently, which gives rise to a novel quantum-critical behavior. Following up on these results, we discuss two possible ways of formulating the theory of a QCP with $Q=0$.

Si se compara el equipal con figuras arqueológicas de arcilla de Colima, que al parecer representan a Mixcoatl, el dios de la caza de las tribus norteñas, se verá que este tipo de asientos fue confeccionado ya mucho antes de la llegada de los españoles. El equipal de los huicholes, al igual que antaño, constituye también en la actualidad un artefacto ritual.

description: This study examines the transformative impact of Afghanistan's membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and explores how the country can leverage this membership to enhance its economy. The research adopts a descriptive approach, relying on secondary data sources. The findings highlight that WTO accession has the potential to significantly transform Afghanistan's access to global markets and create job opportunities. However, the country faces challenges such as the ban on women, governance issues, fiscal limitations, and energy sector challenges that could impede its progress. Afghanistan aims to use its WTO membership to foster economic growth by maintaining low trade barriers, promoting private-sector production, and leveraging strategic trade routes. The study also emphasises the importance of regional trade enhancement for collaborative economic development. The study underscores the transformative potential of WTO membership for Afghanistan's economy while considering the challenges and opportunities that lies ahead.

description: Tight binaries of helium white dwarfs (He WDs) orbiting millisecond pulsars (MSPs) will eventually "merge" due to gravitational damping of the orbit. The outcome has been predicted to be the production of long-lived ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs), in which the WD transfers material to the accreting neutron star (NS). Here we present complete numerical computations, for the first time, of such stable mass transfer from a He WD to a NS. We have calculated a number of complete binary stellar evolution tracks, starting from pre-LMXB systems, and evolved these to detached MSP+WD systems and further on to UCXBs. The minimum orbital period is found to be as short as 5.6 minutes. We followed the subsequent widening of the systems until the donor stars become planets with a mass of ~0.005 Msun after roughly a Hubble time. Our models are able to explain the properties of observed UCXBs with high helium abundances and we can identify these sources on the ascending or descending branch in a diagram displaying mass-transfer rate vs. orbital period.

description: Achieving information-theoretic security using explicit coding scheme in which unlimited computational power for eavesdropper is assumed, is one of the main topics is security consideration. It is shown that polar codes are capacity achieving codes and have a low complexity in encoding and decoding. It has been proven that polar codes reach to secrecy capacity in the binary-input wiretap channels in symmetric settings for which the wiretapper's channel is degraded with respect to the main channel. The first task of this paper is to propose a coding scheme to achieve secrecy capacity in asymmetric nonbinary-input channels while keeping reliability and security conditions satisfied. Our assumption is that the wiretap channel is stochastically degraded with respect to the main channel and message distribution is unspecified. The main idea is to send information set over good channels for Bob and bad channels for Eve and send random symbols for channels that are good for both. In this scheme the frozen vector is defined over all possible choices using polar codes ensemble concept. We proved that there exists a frozen vector for which the coding scheme satisfies reliability and security conditions. It is further shown that uniform distribution of the message is the necessary condition for achieving secrecy capacity.

description: Circular dichroism (CD) observed by photoemission, being sensitive to the orbital and spin angular momenta of the electronic states, is a powerful probe of the nontrivial surface states of topological insulators, but the experimental results thus far have eluded a comprehensive description. We report a study of Bi2Te3 films with thicknesses ranging from one quintuple layer (two-dimensional limit) to twelve layers (bulk limit) over a wide range of incident photon energy. The data show complex variations in magnitude and sign reversals, which are nevertheless well described by a theoretical calculation including all three photoemission mechanisms: dipole transition, surface photoemission, and spin-orbit coupling. The results establish the nontrivial connection between the spin-orbit texture and CD.

description: En base a investigaciones recientes se presentan en este trabajo dos alternativas para explicar: a) la no popularización del sistema de campos elevados en los Llanos Occidentales y b) la funcionalidad de las "calzadas". En el primer caso, se sugiere que la población prehispánica haya hecho un mayor uso de las múltiples estructuras naturales (bancos, viejosn cauces, etc), que existen en la zona, y que son el resultado de la intensa actividad fluvial. En segundo término, se sugiere que las "calzadas" hayan servido como diques de retención de agua, destinados a una intensa explotación de los recursos acuáticos.

description: We present the results from a search for new Milky Way (MW) satellites from the first two years of data from the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program (SSP) $\sim 300$~deg$^2$ and report the discovery of a highly compelling ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidate in Cetus. This is the second ultra-faint dwarf we have discovered after Virgo~I reported in our previous paper. This satellite, Cetus~III, has been identified as a statistically significant (10.7$σ$) spatial overdensity of star-like objects, which are selected from a relevant isochrone filter designed for a metal-poor and old stellar population. This stellar system is located at a heliocentric distance of 251$^{+24}_{-11}$~kpc with a most likely absolute magnitude of $M_V = -2.4 \pm 0.6$~mag estimated from a Monte Carlo analysis. Cetus~III is extended with a half-light radius of $r_h = 90^{+42}_{-17}$~pc, suggesting that this is a faint dwarf satellite in the MW located beyond the detection limit of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Further spectroscopic studies are needed to assess the nature of this stellar system. We also revisit and update the parameters for Virgo~I finding $M_V = -0.33^{+0.75}_{-0.87}$~mag and $r_h = 47^{+19}_{-13}$~pc. Using simulations of $Λ$-dominated cold dark matter models, we predict that we should find one or two new MW satellites from $\sim 300$~deg$^2$ HSC-SSP data, in rough agreement with the discovery rate so far. The further survey and completion of HSC-SSP over $\sim 1,400$~deg$^2$ will provide robust insights into the missing satellites problem.

Notas sobre economía prehispánica de Esmeraldas, Ecuador
Creators: name: Rivera Dorado, Miguel
Publisher: name: INDIANA
Year: 1984

description: Pretendemos esbozar algunos de los resultados hacia los que tiende la elaboración actual de los datos obtenidos en las seis campañas de excavación y exploración de la Misión Española en Esmeraldas. Nuestras sugerencias sobre la economía prehispánica de la región investigada se resumen en el papel central que debió jugar La Tolita, y posiblemente más tarde Atacames, en la organización de un sistema productivo y una red de relaciones comerciales que dieron lugar al surgimiento de fases culturales bien diferenciadas con un nivel de desarrollo semejante al de las manifestaciones manabitas o de la zona del Guayas. Contrariamente a estas últimas, situadas en un medio mucho más favorable, pensamos que el peculiar proceso esmeraldeño encuentra su justificación en la integración y complementariedad de los subsistemas económico, político y religioso, y en la especialización socio-económica de algunos asentamientos. Exploraciones intensivas entre el r í o Esmeraldas y la frontera colombiana ayudarían a perfilar decisivamente el somero esquema, que puede ser la base de un futuro modelo, aquí presentado.

description: En el presente trabajo se examinan nombres personales quechuas del siglo XVI. La trascendencia social de la designación de nombres ya fue objeto de diversos estudios. Aquí, en cambio, se trata del significado de los nombres propiamente dichos. Predominantemente constituyen denominaciones de plantas, animales y objetos, pero también representan una determinada forma de comprensión del medio ambiente. Los nombres personales quechuas eran específicamente genéricos y solían cambiarse tres veces durante el ciclo vital de un individuo.

Scientific Community Debates on Causes and Consequences of Global Warming: Review

description: Global warming is a most burning topic gained the attention of many social thinkers such as scientists, policy makers, environmentalists, researchers and student worldwide. It is the increase of the average temperature on the Earth. The root cause for the increase of the temperature is global warming. As the Earth is getting warmer, disasters like hurricanes, disease and injury of heat waves, droughts, storms and floods are getting more frequent. Over the last 100 years, the average air temperature near the Earth’s surface has risen by a little less than 10C. The causes and consequences of global warming on the Earth`s environment have been reviewed in the present study. The controversy between scientists on the causes of global warming may be natural or may be caused by human interference. The natural causes were atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), Volcanic Eruptions, the dynamic system of the Earth, Sun, and Cosmos. Human activities have been emitting extra greenhouse gases, which were mostly resulted from burning of fossil fuels (like coal, oil and gas). Urbanization and associated human activities like industrialization and use of cars, deforestations and land use changes and etc. have been identified as human-induced causes of global warming. About 97% of climate experts believed that human-activities are the major causes of global warming. Generally, global warming is affecting rainfall, shrinking of the ice sheets, increasing average temperature, affecting plants and animals, rising sea level and shifting seasons.

On contact graphs of totally separable domains

description: Contact graphs have emerged as an important tool in the study of translative packings of convex bodies. The contact number of a packing of translates of a convex body is the number of edges in the contact graph of the packing, while the Hadwiger number of a convex body is the maximum vertex degree over all such contact graphs. In this paper, we investigate the Hadwiger and contact numbers of totally separable packings of convex domains, which we refer to as the separable Hadwiger number and the separable contact number, respectively. We show that the separable Hadwiger number of any smooth convex domain is $4$ and the maximum separable contact number of any packing of $n$ translates of a smooth strictly convex domain is $\left\lfloor 2n - 2\sqrt{n}\right\rfloor$. Our proofs employ a characterization of total separability in terms of hemispherical caps on the boundary of a convex body, Auerbach bases of finite dimensional real normed spaces, angle measures in real normed planes, minimal perimeter polyominoes and an approximation of smooth $o$-symmetric strictly convex domains by, what we call, Auerbach domains.

Linear Approach Almost Ideal Demand System Analysis of Main Vegetables in Lagos State, Nigeria
Creators: name: Abdulganiyu, Salau Shehu

Publisher: name: Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences
Year: 2019

description: The World Health Organization estimated that low vegetable intake was a factor enhancing high mortality all over the world. Studies have shown that the level of vegetable intake in Nigeria was low. Despite relatively cheap and abundant sources of micro nutrients found in vegetables, wide spread cases of micro nutrient deficiencies are still common in the study area. Thus, this study examined the demand for main vegetables in Lagos state. The result revealed that the average monthly consumption per household was 21kg and 16kg in urban and rural Lagos respectively. However, the average monthly expenditure per household was N2, 905.83 in urban and N2, 698.60 in rural areas of Lagos state. The result indicated that the coefficient of determination (R2) falls between 0.54 and 0.92. In both areas the coefficients of all own price, and cross price parameters and household size are all statistically significant at varying levels of probabilities. Own price elasticity of demand for vegetables indicated that urban and rural areas are elastic and inelastic, respectively. The values of income elasticity of demand are positive and greater than 1, hence the demands for all the vegetables are elastic in nature in both areas. The cross price elasticities for both urban and rural areas have negative signs and are therefore complementary goods. Policies and strategies that would make vegetables available throughout the year should be vigorously pursued. Furthermore, to enhance vegetable consumption in the area, the public should be enlightened on the health benefits of vegetables
