description: The IPCC stresses the importance of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions worldwide by 2050 and natural climate solutions, particularly carbon farming, can play a significant role in this goal. However, current markets do not account for environmental externalities, which creates a mismatch between individual costs and societal benefits. Payment systems linked to carbon farming practices could help bridge this gap. Research is essential to develop effective agricultural carbon markets, and this study focuses on the opportunities and challenges faced by smallholder farmers in these markets. The research examines four areas: agricultural markets as a funding source for carbon farming, payments for carbon sequestration, opportunities for smallholder farmers, and cost-effective monitoring and verification of carbon stocks. Further research is needed to monitor carbon sequestration accurately, reduce GHG emissions, and develop institutional arrangements to promote sustainable production methods in Africa.

description: In this work we report c-axis conductance measurements done on a superlattice based on a stack of 2 layers YBa2Cu3O{7-δ} and 7 layers PrBa2Cu3O{7-δ} (2:7). We find that these quasi-2D structures show no clear superconducting coupling along the c-axis. Instead, we observe tunneling with a gap of Δ_c=5.0\pm 0.5 meV for the direction perpendicular to the superconducting planes. The conductance spectrum show well defined quasi-periodic structures which are attributed to the superlattice structure. From this data we deduce a low temperature c-axis coherence length of ξ_c=0.24\pm 0.03 nm.

description: The main research objective of the ROMSOC project is to develop a common framework for the construction of
 model hierarchies for parameterized, high dimensional, and coupled systems in a variety of different industrial
 sectors. Hereby, the ROMSOC EID network offers a unique environment for training and research and provides
 an excellent structured training programme in modelling, simulation and optimization (MSO) and model
 order reduction (MOR) of whole products and processes. The objective of the ROMSOC training programme
 is to train ESRs to PhD level by means of joint courses and training events on the one side and by working
 on individual but complementary collaborative research projects on the other side. The strong demand for
 synergies between the MSO/MOR methods and the requirements of industrial users has been realized through
 common training schools. The training programme on mathematical methodologies within the ROMSOC network
 has been provided by a number of mandatory and elective training courses on diverse topics, including
 advanced programming skills, coupling methods for multiphysics systems, model order reduction techniques,
 and optimization techniques.

description: Blockchain technology adds records to a list using cryptographic links. Therefore, the security of blockchain smart contracts is among the most popular contemporary research topics. To improve the theorem-proving technology in this field, we are developing an extensible hybrid verification tool chain, denoted as FSPVM-E, for Ethereum smart contract verification. This hybrid system extends the proof assistants in Coq, a formal proof-management system. Combining symbolic execution with higher-order theorem-proving, it solves consistency, automation, and reusability problems by standard theorem-proving approaches. This article completes the FSPVM-E by developing its proof engine. FSPVM-E is an extensible definitional interpreter based on our previous work FEther, which is totally developed in the Coq proof assistant. It supports almost all semantics of the Solidity programing language, and simultaneously executes multiple types of symbols. FEther also contains a set of automatic strategies that execute and verify the smart contracts in Coq with a high level of automation. The functional correctness of FEther was verified in Coq. In standard tutorials, the execution efficiency of FEther far exceeded that of the interpreters developed in Coq.

Eine Entscheidung über die ethische Rechtfertigbarkeit der Einführung der alkalischen Hydrolyse wird sich daran orientieren müssen, inwiefern diese Verfahrensgruppe die ethische Kriterien einschlägiger Verträglichkeitsregeln im vergleichbaren Maß erfüllen, wie dies von etablierten Bestattungsverfahren erwartet wird. Auf einer solchen Grundlage kann der Gesetzgeber mit guten ethischen Gründen entsprechende Beratungen für eine Ausweitung der Verfahren rechtlich zulässiger Bestattungsformen aufnehmen. Zudem können diese Überlegungen auch als Ausgangspunkt für einen qualifizierten ethischen Diskurs zur Akzeptabilität dieser Bestattungsform in der Gesellschaft dienen.
description: The subject of the expert opinion is the question of the extent to which the alkaline hydrolysis or this group of processes satisfies the ethical requirements that are usually placed on the handling of the bodies of deceased persons in our cultural environment. A decision on the ethical justifiability of the introduction of alkaline hydrolysis will have to be based on the extent to which this group of procedures meets the ethical criteria of relevant compatibility rules to a comparable extent as is expected of established burial procedures. On such a basis, the legislature can, with good ethical reasons, begin appropriate deliberations for an expansion of the procedures of legally permissible forms of burial. Moreover, these considerations can also serve as a starting point for a qualified ethical discourse on the acceptability of this form of burial in society.

description: We have investigated the structure of double quantum dots vertically coupled at zero magnetic field within local spin-density functional theory. The dots are identical and have a finite width, and the whole system is axially symmetric. We first discuss the effect of thickness on the addition spectrum of one single dot. Next, we describe the structure of coupled dots as a function of the interdot distance for different electron numbers. Addition spectra, Hund's rule and molecular-type configurations are discussed. It is shown that self-interaction corrections to the density functional results do not play a very important role in the calculated addition spectra.

description: The Faust theme has inspired individuals to creative endeavors over the years. While many of the resulting literary works are widely recognized and highly valued, few of the pictorial efforts have been similarly acknowledged. This investigation treats this apparent paradox as it applies to the soliloquy in the first scene of Part I of Goethe's poetic drama. The first part of the study compares the written word with its graphic interpretation, utilizing twenty-seven portrayals of Faust in his Study. The second section traces the iconography of the scene in a broader context, using twenty-eight prototypes which correspond to the depictions. The final portion relates the literary and pictorial models and places the portrayals within two distinct representational traditions which arise in the classical period and continue into modern times.

We find that, given any direction \vec{n} in O(3) space, the spins almost perpendicular to \vec{n} form a percolating cluster. This result gives indications of how the model can avoid a previously conjectured Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition at finite temperature T.

description: We found that the two-dimensional Schrödinger equation for 3 electrons in an homogeneous magnetic field (perpendicular to the plane) and a parabolic scalar confinement potential (frequency $ω_0$) has exact analytical solutions in the limit, where the expectation value of the center of mass vector $\bf R$ is small compared with the average distance between the electrons. These analytical solutions exist only for certain discrete values of the effective frequency $\tilde ω=\sqrt{ω_o^2 + ({ω_c \over 2} )^2}$. Further, for finite external fields, the total angular momenta must be M_L=3 m with m=integer, and spins have to be parallel. The analytically solvable states are always cusp states, and take the components of higher Landau levels into account. These special analytical solutions for 3 particles and the previously published exact analytical solutions for 2 particles can be written in an unified form. These formulae, when {\em ad hoc} generalized to N coordinates, can be discussed as an ansatz for the wave function of the N-particle system. This ansatz fulfills the following demands: it is exact for two particles and for 3 particles in the limit of small $\bf R$ and for the solvable external fields, and it is an eigenfuncton of the total orbital angular momentum. The Laughlin functions are special cases of this ansatz for infinite solvable fields and equal pair- angular- momenta.

description: We study the ergodic properties of a class of controlled stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by $α$-stable processes which arise as the limiting equations of multiclass queueing models in the Halfin-Whitt regime that have heavy-tailed arrival processes. When the safety staffing parameter is positive, we show that the SDEs are uniformly ergodic and enjoy a polynomial rate of convergence to the invariant probability measure in total variation, which is uniform over all stationary Markov controls resulting in a locally Lipschitz continuous drift. We also derive a matching lower bound on the rate of convergence (under no abandonment). On the other hand, when all abandonment rates are positive, we show that the SDEs are exponentially ergodic uniformly over the above-mentioned class of controls. Analogous results are obtained for Lévy-driven SDEs arising from multiclass many-server queues under asymptotically negligible service interruptions. For these equations, we show that the aforementioned ergodic properties are uniform over all stationary Markov controls. We also extend a key functional central limit theorem concerning diffusion approximations so as to make it applicable to the models studied here.

description: A growing demand for higher-value agrifood products in Africa, driven in particular by the rapidly emerging urban middle class, will offer opportunities for the local food and beverage processing industry to generate revenue, create jobs and improve access to food on the continent. To be competitive, the industry will require efficient production methods that can generate a reliable supply of high-quality products. While the food industry in higher income countries has widely adopted power-driven machinery and automation technologies in their production, little is known about the level of mechanization and automation in African agroprocessing and even less about related impacts on employment levels. This study seeks to address this knowledge gap. To this end, a survey of 498 formal firms in the food and beverage manufacturing sector in four African countries (South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and Ethiopia) was conducted. The findings show that all of the surveyed companies use power-driven machinery and around half also employ automation technologies. A number of factors could influence the adoption of automation, including firm size, labour costs, skills, infrastructure and access to machines and their spare parts. The results also suggest that automation is likely to change the nature of rather than replace jobs. To advance automation in the agroprocessing sector, governments should invest in tertiary education and training courses to strengthen in particular technical and soft skills, bring women into the technical professions, and develop social safety nets for lower-skilled workers who are more likely to be affected by job losses.

description: We propose the two-band s-d model to describe theoretically a diffuse regime of the spin-dependent electron transport in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ's) of the form F/O/F where F's are 3d transition metal ferromagnetic layers and O is the insulating spacer. We aim to explain the strong interface sensitivity of the tunneling properties of MTJ's and investigate the influence of electron scattering at the nonideal interfaces on the degradation of the TMR magnitude. The generalized Kubo formalism and the Green's functions method were used to calculate the conductance of the system. The vertex corrections to the conductivity were found with the use of "ladder" approximation combined with the coherent-potential approximation (CPA) that allowed to consider the case of strong electron scattering. It is shown that the Ward identity is satisfied in the framework of this approximation that provides the necessary condition for a conservation of a tunneling current. Based on the known results of ab-initio calculations of the TMR for ballistic junctions, we assume that exchange split quasi-free s-like electrons with the density of states being greater for the majority spin sub-band give the main contribution to the TMR effect. We show that, due to interfacial inter-band scattering, the TMR can be substantially reduced even down to zero value. This is related to the fact that delocalized quasi-free electrons can scatter into the strongly localized d sub-band with the density of states at the Fermi energy being larger for minority spins compared to majority spins. It is also shown that spin-flip electron scattering on the surface magnons within the interface leads to a further decrease of the TMR at finite temperature.

title: House Bellasis and accompanying critical text: 'Provoking unease':pPurple prose pluralities constructing language-as-desire through the contemporary gothic novel
Creators: name: Dee, Emma
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: This Practice as Research PhD investigates, through creative and critical elements, the construction of language-as-desire in the Contemporary Gothic Novel. It examines the position of the Contemporary Gothic with regards to its Gothic heritage, and how this may be reconciled within the metaphorical language of the Classic Gothic canon by contemporary practitioners. This informs the creative component of this PhD, a novel entitled House Bellasis.
This thesis will address three questions:
1. What are the characteristics of Gothic language and how has this traditionally dealt with transgressive themes?
2. Why is language influential in shaping our understanding of phenomena, particularly transgression, through literary depictions?
3. How can a contemporary Gothic novel use poetics and excesses of Gothic language to address these questions, explore, and construct transgressive desire? This third question will be explicitly explored in the critical accompaniment.
House Bellasis is a contemporary Gothic novel concerned with themes of incest, trauma narrative, mother-daughter relationships, inheritance and genealogy, particularly with regards to ambivalence. Through a five-act structure, the novel explores the documented psychological phenomena of Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA) or as the classic Gothic would articulate, the cri du sang - call of the blood, as precipitated by the appearance of protagonist Jenny's self-purported brother Orlando in the inciting incident at the end of Act 1 and culminating in the central climax of the taboo in Act 3 with tragic consequences. In the traditional Gothic there is a metaphorical examination of taboos as a way of expressing wider anxieties, but the contemporary Gothic inverts this, centring the taboo, threat of, and violation itself as phenomena rather than metaphor.
Two narrative threads of trauma narrative and GSA, as explored through intensity of language and prose, emerge. These permeate all aspects of the novel: theme; characters; setting; language; exploring the fundamentally Gothic and yet irrational taboo of incest.

description: Investigations over half a century have indicated that mechanical forces induce neurite growth - with neurites elongating at a rate of 0.1-0.3μmh^{-1} per pico-Newton (pN) of applied force - when mechanical tension exceeds a threshold, with this being identified as 400-1000 pN for neurites of PC12 cells. Here we demonstrate that there is no threshold for neurite elongation of PC12 cells in response to applied mechanical forces. Instead, this proceeds at the same previously identified rate, on the application of tensions with intensity below 1pN. This supports the idea of mechanical tension as an endogenous signal used by neurons for promoting neurite elongation.

description: We develop a microscopic theory of the Coulomb drag effect in a hybrid system consisting of spatially separated two-dimensional quantum gases of degenerate electrons and dipolar excitons. We consider both the normal-phase and condensate regimes of the exciton subsystem and investigate the cross-mobility of the system being the kinetic coefficient, which couples the static electric field applied to the electron layer with the particle density current (flux) in the exciton subsystem. We study the temperature dependence of the cross-mobility and its dependence on the interlayer separation. We show that exciton-exciton interaction plays a dramatic role. If the exciton gas is in the normal phase, then the screening of interlayer interaction by the exciton subsystem results in an exponential damping of the cross-mobility with the decrease of temperature, while at low temperatures, the interactions result in a robust bosonic transport due to the emergence of the Bogoliubov quasiparticles.

description: Conductivity and permittivity of the quasi-one-dimensionsional organic transfer salt (TMTTF)2PF6 have been measured at low frequencies (10^3-10^7 Hz) between room temperature down to below the temperature of transition into the spin-Peierls state. We interpret the huge real part of the dielectric permittivity (up to 10^6) in the localized state as the realization in this compound of a charge ordered state of Wigner crystal type due to long range Coulomb interaction.

Diffractive Exclusive Photon Production in DIS at HERA

description: We demonstrate that perturbative QCD allows one to calculate the absolute cross section of diffractive exclusive production of photons at large $Q^2$ at HERA, while the aligned jet model allows one to estimate the cross section for intermediate $Q^2 \sim 2 GeV^2$. Furthermore, we find that the imaginary part of the amplitude for the production of real photons is larger than the imaginary part of the corresponding DIS amplitude by about a factor of 2, leading to the prediction of a significant counting rate for the current generation of experiments at HERA. We also find a large azimuthal angle asymmetry in $ep$ scattering for HERA kinematics which allows one to directly measure the real part of the DVCS amplitude and hence the nondiagonal parton distributions.

description: The nuclear quadrupole moment of the I=3/2- excited nuclear state of 57Fe at 14.41 keV, important in Mössbauer spectroscopy, is determined from the large-scale nuclear shell-model calculations for 57Fe and also from the electronic ab initio and density functional theory calculations including solid state and electron correlation effects for the molecules Fe(CO)_5 and Fe(C_5 H_5)_2. Both independent methods yield very similar results. The recommended value is 0.16(1) eb. The NQM of the isomeric 10+ in 54Fe has also been calculated. The new value (0.5 eb), consistent with the perturbed angular distribution data, is by a factor of two larger than the currently recommended value.

Universal Relation Connecting Fermi Surface to Symmetry of the Gap Function in BCS-Like Superconductors

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: A universal relation connecting Fermi surface (FS) to the symmetry of the gap function in BCS-like superconductors is derived. It is found that the shape of the FS can be deduced directly from the symmetry of the superconducting gap function, and is also influenced by the next nearest-neighbor overlapping. The application of this relation to cuprate superconductors is discussed. There is observed an interesting property that Luttinger's theorem perfectly holds for the tight-binding band while it is violated by inclusion of the next nearest-neighbor overlapping integral.

description: A quantum spin system can be modelled by an equivalent classical system, with an effective Hamiltonian obtained by integrating all non-zero frequency modes out of the path integral. The effective Hamiltonian H_eff(S_i) derived from the coherent-state integral is highly singular: the quasiprobability density exp(-beta H_eff), a Wigner function, imposes quantisation through derivatives of delta functions. This quasiprobability is the distribution of the time-averaged lower symbol of the spin in the coherent-state integral. We relate the quantum Monte Carlo minus-sign problem to the non-positivity of this quasiprobability, both analytically and by Monte Carlo integration.

description: In this paper, we propose a general model for plane-based clustering. The general model contains many existing plane-based clustering methods, e.g., k-plane clustering (kPC), proximal plane clustering (PPC), twin support vector clustering (TWSVC) and its extensions. Under this general model, one may obtain an appropriate clustering method for specific purpose. The general model is a procedure corresponding to an optimization problem, where the optimization problem minimizes the total loss of the samples. Thereinto, the loss of a sample derives from both within-cluster and between-cluster. In theory, the termination conditions are discussed, and we prove that the general model terminates in a finite number of steps at a local or weak local optimal point. Furthermore, based on this general model, we propose a plane-based clustering method by introducing a new loss function to capture the data distribution precisely. Experimental results on artificial and public available datasets verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

description: This paper aims to discuss how disinformation has become the most powerful tool used against the United State by foreign operatives. Of these foreign operatives, Russia and China have shown the ability to use advanced tactics to truly affect the United States security. Often these tools came in the form of state-sponsored media, influence campaigns and fake online identities. This literature review explores the evolution of Russian and Chinese disinformation tactics, examining how these approaches have changed over time and become more sophisticated. This paper will highlight major campaigns which use tools such as bot networks, and social media manipulation. The findings display the complex threat these sorts of tactics pose to the United States cyber and national security. By tracing their evolution we were able to stress the importance of stronger cybersecurity measures to defend against ongoing operations.

description: New Testament authors claim immense (interpretive) power and generate strong asymmetrical dependencies between themselves and the communities they address. They are convinced that they have the resource of ‘salvation’, the authentic interpretation of the Christ event and access to the congregation. In research, this mostly hidden and sometimes even veiled establishment of pronounced power and dependency structures has hardly been systematically investigated. This is all the more surprising as biblical texts continue to be used in Christian churches worldwide to consolidate and legitimise structures of power and authority. Against this background, I inquire about the susceptibility of ‘living’ sacred texts to abuse, and I examine these texts with regard to their potential for risk and danger.

description: Phylogeny of Nycteribiidae bat flies   Bayesian inference based on mitochondrial sequences revealed that bat fly species parasitizing frugivorous (Pteropodidae) and insectivorous (Vespertilionidae, Miniopteridae) bats form two distinct well-supported monophyletic clades (posterior probability, pp = 1) (Fig. 1). Flies parasitizing frugivorous bats and belonging to the subfamily Cyclopodiinae [28] are divided into two well-supported clades (pp = 1) comprised of the genera Cyclopodia and Eucampsipoda found on Eidolon dupreanum and Rousettus spp., respectively. Cyclopodia horsfieldi parasitizing Pteropus hypomelanus from Malaysia falls within the first clade. Molecular data presented herein from flies collected on insectivorous bats from Madagascar and the Comoros Archipelago and belonging to the subfamily Nycteribiinae [29] also yielded two well-supported monophyletic clades composed of Nycteribia spp. and Penicillidia spp., parasitizing Miniopterus spp., as well as Myotis goudoti. Both Nycteribia spp. and Penicillidia spp. occurred on a variety of different host species and in certain cases, a single putative fly species was identified from several different bat species (Table 1). In addition, a separate and well-supported cluster of bat flies parasitizing Malagasy vespertilionids, specifically Scotophilus robustus, S. marovaza, and Pipistrellus cf. hesperidus (denoted as Basilia sp. 1 – 3 in Fig. 1) formed an independent, monophyletic group excluding B. rybini and B. truncata from Japan. In this phylogeny, the genus Basilia is paraphyletic and contains previously unrecognized diversity. Based on the Kimura 2-parameter model (K2P, Table 2), the average genetic distance between nycteribiid species from the Malagasy Region ranged from 3.0 to 20.4%. Bat flies infecting S. robustus and S. marovaza formed a monophyletic clade composed of two groups separated by a genetic distance of 12.1%, supporting the existence of two distinct species. Similarly, flies parasitizing Pipistrellus cf. hesperidus were notably divergent (12.1 to 13.5%) from those found on Scotophilus spp.
