description: Several efforts have been made to polarize the nearby nuclear environment of nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers for quantum metrology and quantum information applications. Different methods showed different nuclear spin polarization efficiencies and rely on electronic spin polarization associated to the NV center, which in turn crucially depends on the inter-system crossing. Recently, the rates involved in the inter-system crossing have been measured leading to different transition rate models. Here, we consider the effect of these rates on several nuclear polarization methods based on the level anti-crossing, and precession of the nuclear population while the electronic spin is in the ms = 0 and ms = 1 spin states. We show that the nuclear polarization depends on the power of optical excitation used to polarize the electronic spin. The degree of nuclear spin polarization is different for each transition rate model. Therefore, the results presented here are relevant for validating these models and for polarizing nuclear spins. Furthermore, we analyze the performance of each method by considering the nuclear position relative to the symmetry axis of the NV center.

description: Sub-micron defects represent a well-known fundamental problem in manufacturing since they can significantly affect performance and lifetime of virtually any high-value component. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy is arguably the only established method capable of detecting defects down to the sub-nanometer scale but, to date, it only works for surface studies, and with limited resolution. Here, we experimentally and numerically show that laser-driven systems can overcome these well-known limitations, by generating ultra-short positron beams with a kinetic energy tuneable from 500 keV up to 2 MeV and a number of positrons per shot in a 50 keV energy slice \color{black} of the order of $10^3$. Numerical simulations of the expected performance of a typical mJ-scale kHz laser demonstrate the possibility of generating MeV-scale narrow-band and ultra-short positron beams with a flux exceeding $10^5$ positrons/s, of interest for fast volumetric scanning of materials at high resolution.

description: The steady-state distributions and dynamical behaviour of Zero Range Processes with hopping rates which are non-monotonic functions of the site occupation are studied. We consider two classes of non-monotonic hopping rates. The first results in a condensed phase containing a large (but subextensive) number of mesocondensates each containing a subextensive number of particles. The second results in a condensed phase containing a finite number of extensive condensates. We study the scaling behaviour of the peak in the distribution function corresponding to the condensates in both cases. In studying the dynamics of the condensate we identify two timescales: one for creation, the other for evaporation of condensates at a given site. The scaling behaviour of these timescales is studied within the Arrhenius law approach and by numerical simulations.

description: STAGODONTIDAE MARSH, 1889c
The family Stagodontidae was proposed by Marsh (1889c, p. 178) for the inclusion of Stagodon nitor, the genotypic species, and S. tumidus. The type specimen of S. nitor, a worn premolar, however, was later shown by Clemens (1966, p. 55) to belong to Didelphodon Marsh (1889 b). In accordance with the rules established by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature [Art. 23(d) and 40], Clemens (1966) retained the family Stagodontidae in preference to the other family group names, Thlaeodontinae Cope (1892), Didelphodontinae Simpson (1927b), and Thlaeodontinae Hay (1930).
The family Stagodontidae as redefined by Clemens (1966, p. 55) consists of "Large, late Cretaceous, North American marsupials in which the trigonids are anteroposteriorly shortened and paraconid and protoconid are of subequal height, and higher than the metaconid. Epitympanic sinus is large and of complex structure. Alisphenoid lacks an entoglenoid process. Bullae are well developed, apparently formed of both alisphenoid and petrosal elements." Boreodon and Didelphodon are included in the family Stagodontidae in the present paper, but Eodelphis is excluded.

description: Feature attributions and counterfactual explanations are popular approaches to explain a ML model. The former assigns an importance score to each input feature, while the latter provides input examples with minimal changes to alter the model's predictions. To unify these approaches, we provide an interpretation based on the actual causality framework and present two key results in terms of their use. First, we present a method to generate feature attribution explanations from a set of counterfactual examples. These feature attributions convey how important a feature is to changing the classification outcome of a model, especially on whether a subset of features is necessary and/or sufficient for that change, which attribution-based methods are unable to provide. Second, we show how counterfactual examples can be used to evaluate the goodness of an attribution-based explanation in terms of its necessity and sufficiency. As a result, we highlight the complementarity of these two approaches. Our evaluation on three benchmark datasets - Adult-Income, LendingClub, and German-Credit - confirms the complementarity. Feature attribution methods like LIME and SHAP and counterfactual explanation methods like Wachter et al. and DiCE often do not agree on feature importance rankings. In addition, by restricting the features that can be modified for generating counterfactual examples, we find that the top-k features from LIME or SHAP are often neither necessary nor sufficient explanations of a model's prediction. Finally, we present a case study of different explanation methods on a real-world hospital triage problem

description: We discuss the non-equilibrium dynamics of condensed matter/quantum field systems in the framework of Keldysh technique. In order to deal with the inhomogeneous systems we use the Wigner-Weyl formalism. Unification of the mentioned two approaches is demonstrated on the example of Hall conductivity. We express Hall conductivity through the Wigner transformed two-point Green's functions. We demonstrate how this expression is reduced to the topological number in thermal equilibrium at zero temperature. At the same time both at finite temperature and out of equilibrium the topological invariance is lost. Moreover, Hall conductivity becomes sensitive to interaction corrections.

description: We apply parquet-diagram summation methods for the calculation of the superfluid gap in $S$-wave pairing in neutron matter for realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions such as the Argonne $v_6$ and the Reid $v_6$ potentials. It is shown that diagrammatic contributions that are outside the parquet class play an important role. These are, in variational theories, identified as so-called "commutator contributions". Moreover, using a particle-hole propagator appropriate for a superfluid system results in the suppression of the spin-channel contribution to the induced interaction. Applying these corrections to the pairing interaction, our results agree quite well with Quantum Monte Carlo data.

description: A scheme of an ultra-sensitive magnetometer in the cavity quantum electromagnonics where the intracavity microwave mode coupled to a magnonic mode via magnetic dipole interaction is proposed. It is shown that by driving both magnonic and microwave modes with external classical fields and controlling the system parameters, one can reduce the added noise of magnetic field measurement below the standard quantum limit (SQL). Surprisingly, we show that beyond the rotating wave approximation (RWA), not only the added noise can be suppressed, but also the output cavity response to the input signal can be substantially amplified in order to achieve a precise magnetic-field measurement. The estimated theoretical sensitivity of the proposed magnetic amplifier-sensor is approximately in the order of $10^{-18}T/\sqrt{Hz}$ which is competitive compared to the current state-of-the-art magnetometers like superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) and atomic magnetometers. The advantage of the proposed sensor in comparison with the other magnetometers is its high sensitivity at room temperature and sensing in a wide range of frequency up to MHz as well as its capability to signal-response amplification.

description: We revisit the covariant phase space formalism applied to gravitational theories with null boundaries, utilizing the most general boundary conditions consistent with a fixed null normal. To fix the ambiguity inherent in the Wald-Zoupas definition of quasilocal charges, we propose a new principle, based on holographic reasoning, that the flux be of Dirichlet form. This also produces an expression for the analog of the Brown-York stress tensor on the null surface. Defining the algebra of charges using the Barnich-Troessaert bracket for open subsystems, we give a general formula for the central -- or more generally, abelian -- extensions that appear in terms of the anomalous transformation of the boundary term in the gravitational action. This anomaly arises from having fixed a frame for the null normal, and we draw parallels between it and the holographic Weyl anomaly that occurs in AdS/CFT. As an application of this formalism, we analyze the near-horizon Virasoro symmetry considered by Haco, Hawking, Perry, and Strominger, and perform a systematic derivation of the fluxes and central charges. Applying the Cardy formula to the result yields an entropy that is twice the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the horizon. Motivated by the extended Hilbert space construction, we interpret this in terms of a pair of entangled CFTs associated with edge modes on either side of the bifurcation surface.

 Remarks. A highly characteristic body shape marks out this taxon from most other ‘ Leptognathia ’ species, deriving from the small and sub-triangular cephalothorax and short and wide pereonites 1–2. A very similar species, L. microcephala Kudinova-Pasternak, 1977 differs slightly in body proportions, pleotelson shape and other details (see below). It is very highly probable that L. birsteini and L. microcephala belong in the genus Latitanais Kudinova-Pasternak, 1987, currently positioned in the Subfamily Cryptocopinae Sieg, 1973 of the Family Pseudotanaidae Sieg, 1976 after a phylogenetic analysis (Larsen & Wilson 2002). However, although this decision has not been made formally L. birsteini and L. microcephala have at least been correctly removed from Leptognathia sensu stricto and the Leptognathiidae by Larsen & Shimomura (2007).
 It an abysso-hadal species which has been recorded from the Kurile-Kamchatka Trench at 4895 metres (Kudinova-Pasternak 1970), with earlier records from the widely separated Bougainville Trench, 6920–7657 metres (Kudinova-Pasternak 1965) and the North-west Pacific Basin, 6051 metres (Kudinova-Pasternak 1966). Three specimens of the birsteini-microcephala group from the present study seem referable to the latter species.

description: Archeops is a balloon-borne experiment, mainly designed to measure the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies at high angular resolution (~ 12 arcminutes). By-products of the mission are shallow sensitivity maps over a large fraction of the sky (about 30 %) in the millimetre and submillimetre range at 143, 217, 353 and 545 GHz. From these maps, we produce a catalog of bright submillimetre point sources. We present in this paper the processing and analysis of the Archeops point sources. Redundancy across detectors is the key factor allowing to sort out glitches from genuine point sources in the 20 independent maps. We look at the properties of the most reliable point sources, totalling 304. Fluxes range from 1 to 10,000 Jy (at the frequencies covering 143 to 545 GHz). All sources are either planets (2) or of galactic origin. Longitude range is from 75 to 198 degrees. Some of the sources are associated with well-known Lynds Nebulae and HII compact regions in the galactic plane. A large fraction of the sources have an IRAS counterpart. Except for Jupiter, Saturn, the Crab and Cas A, all sources show a dust-emission-like modified blackbody emission spectrum. Temperatures cover a range from 7 to 27 K. For the coldest sources (T<10 K), a steep nu^beta emissivity law is found with a surprising beta ~ 3 to 4. An inverse relationship between T and beta is observed. The number density of sources at 353 GHz with flux brighter than 100 Jy is of the order of 1 per degree of Galactic longitude. These sources will provide a strong check for the calibration of the Planck HFI focal plane geometry as a complement to planets. These very cold sources observed by Archeops should be prime targets for mapping observations by the Akari and Herschel space missions and ground--based observatories.

description: We develop non-equilibrium theory by using averages in time and space as a generalized way to upscale thermodynamics in non-ergodic systems. The approach offers a classical perspective on the energy dynamics in fluctuating systems. The rate of entropy production is shown to be explicitly scale dependent when considered in this context. We show that while any stationary process can be represented as having zero entropy production, second law constraints due to the Clausius theorem are preserved due to the fact that heat and work are related based on conservation of energy. As a demonstration we consider the energy dynamics for the Carnot cycle and for Maxwell's demon. We then consider non-stationary processes, applying time-and-space averages to characterize non-ergodic effects in heterogeneous systems where energy barriers such as compositional gradients are present. We show that the derived theory can be used to understand the origins of anomalous diffusion phenomena in systems where Fick's law applies at small length scales but not at large length scales. We then characterize fluctuations in capillary-dominated systems, which are non-stationary due to the irreversibility of cooperative events.

Seismic imaging of the Canadian upper mantle
Creators: name: Frederiksen, Andrew William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Upper-mantle structure beneath Canada is investigated at both large and small scales, using the broadband, three-component data set of the Canadian National Seismograph Network. In the large-scale study, 500 surface-wave waveforms are processed using partitioned wave form inversion, yielding an 5-wave velocity model of the Canadian upper mantle with resolution down to 400 km. This is the first surface-wave based 3-D model of Canada and offers improved resolution over the body-wave model of Grand (1994). The model displays two large-scale anomalies: a high-velocity structure beneath the Canadian shield and platform associated with the cratonic keel, and pronounced low velocities beneath the Cordillera. The velocity contrast between these features is strong (~ 10%) and sharp, occurring over distances of 600 km or less. High velocities persist to depths of ~ 250 km beneath the North American craton, which I interpret to represent the base of the continental keel. Moderately low velocities beneath the St. Lawrence valley region and Labrador may be related to intracontinental volcanism and rifting, respectively. At smaller scales, seismic discontinuities in the upper mantle lead to the scattering of teleseismic P waves into Ps conversions and free-surface multiples. The teleseismic P-wave coda thus provides constraints on small-scale, layered upper-mantle structure, including anisotropy and layer dip. I develop an efficient high-frequency method for characterizing upper mantle structure beneath a single station in the presence of interface dip and anisotropy, using it to model synthetic data and seismograms from CNSN station YKW3 (Yellowknife, NWT). In order to automate the recovery of upper-mantle models from CNSN datasets, I combine the forward-modeling scheme with the Monte Carlo-based neighborhood algorithm of Sambridge (1999) to invert receiver-function data. The combined approach is applied to synthetic waveforms, successfully constraining layer velocities and thicknesses, the degree and orientation of anisotropy, and the dip of interfaces. Applied to real data, the method provides strong constraints on crustal velocities and thicknesses beneath stations GAC (Quebec), SADO (Ontario), and ULM (Manitoba). In addition, it is used to determine the orientation of anisotropic fabric beneath YKW3, and the structural dip of the Cascadia subduction zone beneath station PGC (southern Vancouver Island).
Negative piezoelectricity in low--dimensional materials

description: In this study, we investigate the underlying mechanisms of the negative piezoelectricity in low--dimensional materials by carrying out first--principles calculations. Two--dimensional ferroelectric CuInP$_2$S$_6$ is analyzed in detail as a typical example, but the theory can be applied to all other low--dimensional piezoelectrics. Similar to three--dimensional piezoelectrics with negative piezoelectric responses, the anomalous negative piezoelectricity in CuInP$_2$S$_6$ results from its negative clamped--ion term, which cannot be compensated by the positive internal strain part. Here, we propose a more general rule that having a negative clamped--ion term should be universal among piezoelectric materials, which is attributed to the "lag of Wannier center" effect. The internal--strain term, which is the change in polarization due to structural relaxation in response to strain, is mostly determined by the spatial structure and chemical bonding of the material. In a low--dimensional piezoelectric material as CuInP$_2$S$_6$, the internal--strain term is approximately zero. This is because the internal structure of the molecular layers, which are bonded by the weak van der Waals interaction, responds little to the strain. As a result, the magnitude of the dipole, which depends strongly on the dimension and structure of the molecular layer, also has a small response with respect to strain. An equation bridging the internal strain responses in low--dimensional and three--dimensional piezoelectrics is also derived to analytically express this point. This work aims to deepen our understanding about this anomalous piezoelectric effect, especially in low--dimensional materials, and provide strategies for discovering materials with novel electromechanical properties.

Pet Birds. Cages and Practices of Domestication in Eighteenth-Century Paris
Creators: name: Breittruck, Julia
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2012

description: This paper focuses on the genesis of the »pet making« of birds in eighteenth-century Paris. It examines the ways in which particular cages, and the corresponding imagination and practice of caretaking and domestication, construed birds as »pets.« The status of these animals in either their difference or similarity to »the human« is analyzed by looking at different kinds of bird-caging instructions. First, I found that bird caging developed as a cultural technique of domestication since it organized and reflected human cohabitation with and the enclosure of formerly wild animals. By teaching birds language and music, firstly, different avian species were conceptualized and, on a practical level, tamed, and secondly, the human-animal frontier was debated. Second, while bird keeping was being popularized in Parisian society, the place and the treatment of companion birds signaled the owners’ social status. Third, aviaries could function symbolically as aristocratic heterotopias during the second half of the eighteenth century.

Thus, human-bird relationships were defined by two elements: the conceptualizing and practice of education, and their placement in real as well as imagined spatial proximities or distances.

description: The paper reviews urban transport policies in Italian cities and their impact on the concentration of NO2 and PM10. Using parametric and non-parametric techniques, it finds no significant effect of the policy actions currently implemented. Further, it finds evidence of a weak positive impact of plans adoption. These results are interpreted as evidence of positive externalities among actions. Finally, by also discussing case studies, the paper points out the absence of economic instruments and argues that significant welfare gains would derive from their adoption.

description: In order to assist in the specification of the demand function for Australian meats a sample of housewives was interviewed in an attempt to ascertain how the financial position of a household influences its meat consumption pattern. The three most interesting findings are indicated below. (a) Except for a small proportion of low income households, financial considerations do not play a significant part in determining the quantity of meat purchased but do influence the meat types and cuts that are selected to satisfy the required quantity. (b) It is the "permanent" or "normal" income level of the household which is the dominant financial component influencing its expenditure on meats. (c) It appears that a desire for diet variation, together with the relative prices of the cuts within the various meat types, are the two main factors determining the particular meat consumption patterns followed by households.

We overview the statistical principles and nuclear-physics contexts underlying the BAND toolset, with an emphasis on Bayesian methodology's ability to leverage insight from multiple models. In order to facilitate understanding of these tools we provide a simple and accessible example of the BAND framework's application. Four case studies are presented to highlight how elements of the framework will enable progress on complex, far-ranging problems in nuclear physics. By collecting notation and terminology, providing illustrative examples, and giving an overview of the associated techniques, this paper aims to open paths through which the nuclear physics and statistics communities can contribute to and build upon the BAND framework.

It portrays the ›beach‹ and the ›ship‹ as spatial images for arenas of historic entanglements and suggests that the ›entangled histories‹ approach should be linked to a historical anthropological perspective in order to direct the view to the historical actors who, in their mobile practices, created connections across long distances. On the two empirical examples of the Cape Verdean-American migration and the emergence of Walvis Bay (Namibia) as a trading port, it outlines how ordinary, underprivileged people initiated such connections ›from the bottom up‹. In conclusion, it suggests the term ›entanglements from below‹ to emphasize that historical entanglements should be understood as a result of everyday practices.

description: In semiconductor manufacturing, contamination due to particulates significantly decreases the yield and quality of device fabrication, therefore increasing the cost of production. Dust particle clouds can be found in almost all plasma processing environments including both plasma etching devices and in plasma deposition processes. Dust particles suspended within such plasmas will acquire an electric charge from collisions with free electrons in the plasma. If the ratio of inter-particle potential energy to the average kinetic energy is sufficient, the particles will form either a liquid structure with short range ordering or a crystalline structure with long range ordering. Otherwise, the dust particle system will remain in a gaseous state. Many experiments have been conducted over the past decade on such colloidal plasmas to discover the character of the systems formed, but more work is needed to fully understand these structures. The preponderance of previous experiments used monodisperse spheres to form complex plasma systems.
Agents of Mobility: Migrant Smuggling Networks, Transhemispheric Migration, and Time-Space Compression in Ottoman Anatolia, 1888–1908

description: This article examines the emergence of migrant smuggling networks that facilitated migration to North America from sending communities in eastern Anatolia during the period when this migration was officially outlawed by the Ottoman State. These networks, which together comprised a highly coordinated and profitable migration industry, played a critical role in smuggling North America-bound migrants from the Anatolian interior to various port cities on the Ottoman and Black Sea coasts and onto foreign steamers. The article examines the diverse coterie of actors that comprised these networks and analyzes the factors driving their change over both space and time during the period under investigation. It especially focuses on how the migration industry incorporated pre-existing social relationships and networks while incorporating many new ones in order to maintain the flow of migrants in the face of state prohibitions. In so doing, the article argues for the importance of examining the roles played by ›peripheral‹ social actors and dynamics in shaping the new regime of time-space that emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, of which large-scale transhemispheric migrations were a key part.

From »World Soviet« to »Fatherland of All Proletarians.« Anticipated World Society and Global Thinking in Early Soviet Russia
Creators: name: Albert, Gleb J.

description: After ascending to power in late 1917, the Bolsheviks firmly believed that their revolution would not remain isolated. The call for ›proletarians of all countries‹ to unite, previously expressed by Marx and Engels in the Communist Manifesto, was translated into expectations of an imminent world revolution – and the worldwide unrests in the first years after World War I seemed to prove these expectations true. Using a large variety of sources, the present article has three objectives. Firstly, it sets out to show that the belief in world revolution was not limited to the intellectual leadership of the party, but also permeated larger strata of the party. Regional party activists placed themselves and their revolutionary activity within a global context. Secondly, the article strives to elucidate not only activists’ ideas about the process of world revolution, but also how they imagined the communist world that would come into existence after the worldwide ›proletarian‹ victory. This ›world society‹ in the making is compared to Niklas Luhmann’s concept of world society. And finally, the article evaluates the role of communist ›global thinking‹ in the context of the ascension of Stalinism in the mid- to late-1920s.

Across the Institutional Passage of Migration: The Hukou-System in China

description: China, a country with a population of 1.37 billion (of which 19.51 percent are internal migrants), has recently experienced tremendous economic development, with an average annual GDP growth rate of 10 percent over the past 30 years. For more than 60 years, the present Hukou (household registration) system has operated as an important institution that regulates the mobility of the Chinese people and is used as a basis for distributing social services between rural and urban areas. Migrants experience vast inconsistencies caused by the country’s dual economic structure and the Hukou system. By illustrating how the Hukou system is constructed and functions as an institution, I will explain, why and how the Hukou system, has both temporal and spatial aspects through an institutional passage. Although migrants experience a shift in identity as they cross this passage in their transition from rural to urban life, they remain bound to a rural past based on where they were originally registered. Previous research has treated the Hukou system primarily as a mechanism of exclusion and segregation that leads to the construction of a ›dual society.‹ The main argument in this article, however, is that the Hukou system also implies an internal passage for the status transition which migrants may go through, consisting of at least three types: the ›Apartment – Hukou strategy, ‹ the ›Green Card strategy, ‹ and the ›Institutional strategy.‹

description: We establish the status of the Weyl double copy relation for radiative solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations. We show that all type N vacuum solutions, which describe the radiation region of isolated gravitational systems with appropriate fall-off for the matter fields, admit a degenerate Maxwell field that squares to give the Weyl tensor. The converse statement also holds, i.e. if there exists a degenerate Maxwell field on a curved background, then the background is type N. This relation defines a scalar that satisfies the wave equation on the background. We show that for non-twisting radiative solutions, the Maxwell field and the scalar also satisfy the Maxwell equation and the wave equation on Minkowski spacetime. Hence, non-twisting solutions have a straightforward double copy interpretation.

description: We carry out a feasibility study for the lattice QCD calculation of the neutron electric dipole moment (NEDM) in the presence of the $θ$ term. We develop the strategy to obtain the nucleon EDM from the CP-odd electromagnetic form factor $F_3$ at small $θ$, in which NEDM is given by $\lim_{q^2\to 0}θF_3(q^2)/(2m_N)$ where $q$ is the momentum transfer and $m_N$ is the nucleon mass. We first derive a formula which relates $F_3$, a matrix element of the electromagnetic current between nucleon states, with vacuum expectation values of nucleons and/or the current. In the expansion of $θ$, the parity-odd part of the nucleon-current-nucleon three-point function contains contributions not only from the parity-odd form factors but also from the parity-even form factors multiplied by the parity-odd part of the nucleon two-point function, and therefore the latter contribution must be subtracted to extract $F_3$. We then perform an explicit lattice calculation employing the domain-wall quark action with the RG improved gauge action in quenched QCD at $a^{-1}\simeq 2$ GeV on a $16^3\times 32\times 16$ lattice. At the quark mass $m_f a =0.03$, corresponding to $m_π/m_ρ\simeq 0.63$, we accumulate 730 configurations, which allow us to extract the parity-odd part in both two- and three-point functions. Employing two different Dirac $γ$ matrix projections, we show that a consistent value for $F_3$ cannot be obtained without the subtraction described above. We obtain $F_3(q^2\simeq 0.58 \textrm{GeV}^2)/(2m_N) =$ $-$0.024(5) $e\cdot$fm for the neutron and $F_3(q^2\simeq 0.58 \textrm{GeV}^2)/(2m_N) =$ 0.021(6) $e\cdot$fm for the proton.

description: We propose a spinning nonlinear resonator as an experimentally accessible platform to achieve nonreciprocal control of optical solitons. Nonreciprocity here results from the relativistic Sagnac-Fizeau optical drag effect, which is different for pump fields propagating in the spinning direction or in the direction opposite to it. We show that in a spinning Kerr resonator, different soliton states appear for the input fields in different directions. These nonreciprocal solitons are more stable against losses induced by inter-modal coupling between clockwise and counterclockwise modes of the resonator. Our work builds a bridge between nonreciprocal physics and soliton science, providing a promising route towards achieving soliton-wave optical isolators and one-way soliton communications.

description: The consequence of extreme thermal events for hosts and their pathogens is of major importance for population persistence and disease dynamics in light of global change. By integrating the thermal performance of both hosts and pathogens we can better understand how populations will respond to shifts in temperature. My thesis provides multiple lines of evidence that exposure to a pathogen can directly shift a host’s thermal performance. I test how various aspects of host and pathogen thermal performance and disease dynamics may alter a host’s response to thermal stress, and discuss the consequences for population persistence and disease dynamics in the face of global change.
