description: We argue the existence of new $k_\perp$-dependent functions which can be manifested in the Drell-Yan (SIDIS)-like processes. The presented new functions resemble the well-known Boer-Mulders function associated with the quark spin asymmetry, but in contrast they are sensitive to the transverse motion of partons inside the hadron due to the collective alignment of quark spin vectors.

description: This paper defines a new proof- and category-theoretic framework for classical linear logic that separates reasoning into one linear regime and two persistent regimes corresponding to ! and ?. The resulting linear/producer/consumer (LPC) logic puts the three classes of propositions on the same semantic footing, following Benton's linear/non-linear formulation of intuitionistic linear logic. Semantically, LPC corresponds to a system of three categories connected by adjunctions reflecting the linear/producer/consumer structure. The paper's metatheoretic results include admissibility theorems for the cut and duality rules, and a translation of the LPC logic into category theory. The work also presents several concrete instances of the LPC model.

description: The dark matter (DM) distributed around an intermediate massive black hole (IMBH) forms an overdensity region called DM minispike. We consider the binary system which consists of an IMBH with DM minispike and a small black hole inspiralling around the IMBH in eccentric orbits. The factors which affect the evolution of the orbit include the gravity of the system, the dynamical friction and accretion of the small black hole caused by the DM minispike, and the radiation reaction of gravitational waves (GWs). Using the method of osculating orbit, we find that when the semilatus rectum p<<10^5 Rs (Rs is the Schwarzschild radius of the IMBH) the dominated factors are the dynamical friction and accretion from the DM minispike, and the radiation reaction. When p>>10^5 Rs, the gravity from the DM minispike dominates the orbital evolution. The existence of DM minispike leads to the deviation from the Keplerian orbit, such as extra orbital precession, henceforth extra phase shift in the GW waveform. By calculating the signal-to-noise ratio for GWs with and without DM minispikes and the mismatch between them, we show that the effect of the DM minispike in GW waveforms can potentially be detected by future space-based GW detectors such as LISA, Taiji, and Tianqin.

description: The total bremsstrahlung flux-averaged cross-sections $\langle{σ(E_{\rm{γmax}})}\rangle$ for the photonuclear reactions $^{181}\rm{Ta}(γ,\textit{x}n; \textit{x} \leq 8)^{181-\textit{x}}\rm{Ta}$ have been measured in the range of end-point energies $E_{\rm γmax}$ up to 95 MeV. The experiments were performed with the beam from the NSC KIPT electron linear accelerator LUE-40 with the use of the activation and off-line $γ$-ray spectrometric technique. The calculation of average cross-sections was carried out using the cross-section values computed with the TALYS1.95 code for different level density models $LD$ 1-6. A comparison between the experimental total cross-sections $\langle{σ(E_{\rm{γmax}})}\rangle$ and the theoretical values has shown satisfactory agreement for the $^{181}\rm{Ta}(γ,\textit{x}n)$ reactions with the escape of 1-4, 6 and 7 neutrons. The closest agreement with the measured data is observed with the $LD$5 computation version, which represents the microscopic level density model taking into account Hilaire's combinatorial tables.

description: At the southern end of their range, eelgrass Zostera marina L. meadows in North Carolina, USA, are vulnerable to multiple stressors. These include eutrophication, which can promote the overgrowth of algal epiphytes, and heat stress, which causes significant seasonal die-offs during the summer. To quantify the relative influences of these ecosystem stressors on eelgrass biomass, we conducted a mesocosm experiment investigating interactive effects of heat stress (+1.5°C) and nutrient loading (+10 μM NH4NO3, 1 μM KH2PO4) on an amphipod-eelgrass system. Additionally, we manipulated consumer pressure from an abundant omnivorous fish (pinfish Lagodon rhomboides) to understand how top-down pressure interacted with bottom-up nutrient additions and warming. Pinfish consumed nearly all amphipods (which had no effect on epibiont load), prevented macroalgal accumulation, and mitigated eelgrass loss due to heat stress. Notably, when pinfish were absent from mesocosms (1) macroalgal biomass was high even though grazers were allowed to reach high densities (>600 ind. per 18 l mesocosm), and (2) warming caused an 80% reduction in eelgrass aboveground biomass. Macroalgal biomass was positively correlated with water temperature and also had a significant correlation with eelgrass aboveground biomass. Although nutrient concentrations were similar to nutrient pulses from local storm events, nutrient enrichment only increased epibiont load when combined with warming, and we ob served no discernible interactive effects on aboveground biomass. We conclude that omnivorous consumers can play an important role in preventing macroalgal accumulation from exacerbating heat stress effects, although continued warming may cause significant regional habitat loss regardless of consumer presence as eelgrass reaches its extreme physiological limits.

description: COVID-19 arrived as a crisis. Its impact has been felt across the Globe and will continue to be for many years to come. Financially, emotionally, practically and psychologically – it has changed many views & forced us to think and behave differently in our everyday life. A massive challenged faced residential child care when lockdown was announced. Fear swept through the house, as the reality of our young people experiencing another challenge gripped us. At Nether Johnstone House, we have an ethos built around opportunity, experiences, relationships and most importantly love. In this article, our young people and team share some of our reflections and learnings of lockdown. Time has never seemed more important or significant than it has throughout 2020 and we have grown to appreciate this in its simplest form.

Use of population fitness to evaluate the nursery function of juvenile habitats

description: Juveniles of many fish and invertebrate species are able to select among a diverse port folio of nursery habitat alternatives. Environmental heterogeneity among these habitats generates variation in the vital rates of young individuals that may influence overall population dynamics. Therefore, understanding how these habitat options affect population fitness is crucial for identifying habitats that widen bottlenecks in early life histories and promote population persistence. We used cohort analyses and demographic models to explore the population-level consequences of habitat selection by juvenile California halibut Paralichthys californicus in southern California, focusing on population growth rate (γ) as a measure of fitness. Although alternative juvenile habitats (exposed coast and coastal embayments) could contribute an approximately equal number of recruits to the adult stock, positive overall population growth (γ > 1) depended critically on the subpopulations of juveniles that utilized coastal embayments (bays, lagoons, and estuaries). Conversely, the juvenile subpopulation along the exposed coast contributed negatively to overall population growth (γ < 1) in 3 of the 4 years we conducted this study, due to elevated local mortality in that habitat. Life table response experiments confirmed that juvenile growth and survivorship were responsible for differences in A, and that nursery habitat choice could be a key contributor toward overall population fitness. Considering nurseries in a demographic source-sink context could aid conservation efforts by allowing identification or prioritization of the juvenile habitats most critical for population persistence.
Zeeman deceleration of electron-impact-excited metastable helium atoms

description: We present experimental results that demonstrate - for the first time - the Zeeman deceleration of helium atoms in the metastable 2^3S_1state. A more than 40% decrease of the kinetic energy of the beam is achieved for deceleration from 490 m/s to a final velocity of 370 m/s. Metastable atom generation is achieved with an electron-impact-excitation source whose performance is enhanced through an additional discharge-type process which we characterize in detail. Comparison of deceleration data at different electron beam pulse durations confirms that a matching between the initial particle distribution and the phase-space acceptance of the decelerator is crucial for the production of a decelerated packet with a well-defined velocity distribution. The experimental findings are in good agreement with three-dimensional numerical particle trajectory simulations.
Social Ties, Family Structure and Care, and the Well-Being of the Oldest Old in China
Creators: name: Chen, Ping
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: The growing number of the elderly in China is bringing dramatic changes into family life, the nature and structure of the support system for the aging population. Especially with the growing decrepitude in physical health and experience of the inevitable losses of the significant others among the oldest old, it is crucial to understand how different compositions of family members or other social ties provide support or care for the oldest old to sustain a certain quality of life. The goal of this study is to explore how family structure and care and other social ties affect the extent to which the oldest old assess the quality of life after controlling for their demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, using data from the first wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Ordered logistic regressions are conducted and multiple imputation are applied to compute missing data. Findings in this study show that the demographic factors, including age, residential area, and physical health status, affect the life of the oldest old. Previous socioeconomic status of the oldest old have a cumulative effect on life quality over the life course. Most importantly, how family is structured impacts the well-being of the oldest old in China. Children play an important role in the life of the oldest old. They not only provide financial assistance and caregiving but also affection and love for the elderly, which greatly improves the subjective feeling about life. Extensive family structures of multiple younger generations further have a positive effect on the well-being of the elderly. The reification of the traditional norm of enjoying the happiness of living together with multiple younger generations in their later life appears to be crucial to the emotional well-being of the elderly. Those who are living in nursing homes are more likely to feel better than those living with family members at home, indicating that nursing homes not only function in providing care for the daily routine of the elderly, but also serve as a social setting for the elderly to socialize and make friends with their contemporaries, which reinforces their feelings of social attachment, hence, improves their subjective feeling of the life quality. Social services, which facilitate the social life of the oldest old, financial support, and formal caregiving, provided by the government for the oldest old who do not have a family support need to be taken into consideration to improve the quality of life of the oldest old in China.

description: Stormwater infrastructure can manage precipitation-driven flooding when there are no obstructions to draining. Coastal areas increasingly experience recurrent flooding due to elevated water levels from storms or tides, but the inundation of coastal stormwater infrastructure by elevated water levels has not been broadly assessed. We conservatively estimated stormwater infrastructure inundation in municipalities along the Atlantic United States coast by using areas of high-tide flooding (HTF) on roads as a proxy. We also modeled stormwater infrastructure inundation in four North Carolina municipalities and measured infrastructure inundation in one of the modeled municipalities. Combining methodologies at different scales provides context and allows the scope of stormwater infrastructure inundation to be broadly estimated. We found 137 census-designated urban areas along the Atlantic coast with road area impacted by HTF, with a median percent of total road area subject to HTF of 0.16% (IQR: 0.02%–0.53%). Based on 2010 census block data, the median number of people per urban area that live in census blocks with HTF on roads was 1,622 (IQR: 366–5,779). In total, we estimate that over 2 million people live in census blocks where HTF occurs on roadways along the US Atlantic coast. Modeling results and water level measurements indicated that extensive inundation of underground stormwater infrastructure likely occurs at water levels within the mean tidal range. These results suggest that stormwater infrastructure inundation along the US Atlantic coast is likely widespread, affects a large number of people, occurs frequently, and increases the occurrence of urban flooding.

description: We demonstrate that Bayesian machine learning can be used to treat the vast amount of experimental fission data which are noisy, incomplete, discrepant, and correlated. As an example, the two-dimensional cumulative fission yields (CFY) of neutron-induced fission of $^{238}$U are evaluated with energy dependencies and uncertainty qualifications. For independent fission yields (IFY) with very few experimental data, the heterogeneous data fusion of CFY and IFY is employed to interpolate the energy dependence. This work shows that Bayesian data fusion can facilitate the further utilization of imperfect raw nuclear data.

description: The devastating international health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is reported on a daily basis in terms of newly acquired infections and mortality rates. What is less visible are the social and emotional implications of the virus, in particular the impact of requirements to remain socially isolated and in some circumstances to self-isolate or self-quarantine for periods of time. Young people living in residential care are already highly vulnerable having been removed from home and placed in group care. They often lack positive mentors and role models and have few healthy peer relationships. In short, young people who are already socially isolated are potentially further disadvantaged by requirements for them to practise social distancing and self-isolation. This paper examines contemporary literature promoting the participation of young people in programmes and organisations. Whilst 'participation' has been a longstanding international requirement for young people in the out of home care system, we argue that it has particular relevance in these times and may offer an opportunity for young people's lived experience to be recognised and valued.

description: This paper studies an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) full-duplex (FD) wireless-powered communication network (WPCN), where a hybrid access point (HAP) operating in FD broadcasts energy signals to multiple devices for their energy harvesting (EH) in the downlink (DL) and meanwhile receives information signals from devices in the uplink (UL) with the help of an IRS. Taking into account the practical finite self-interference (SI) and the non-linear EH model, we formulate the weighted sum throughput maximization optimization problem by jointly optimizing DL/UL time allocation, precoding matrices at devices, transmit covariance matrices at the HAP, and phase shifts at the IRS. Since the resulting optimization problem is non-convex, there are no standard methods to solve it optimally in general. To tackle this challenge, we first propose an element-wise (EW) based algorithm, where each IRS phase shift is alternately optimized in an iterative manner. To reduce the computational complexity, a minimum mean-square error (MMSE) based algorithm is proposed, where we transform the original problem into an equivalent form based on the MMSE method, which facilities the design of an efficient iterative algorithm. In particular, the IRS phase shift optimization problem is recast as an second-order cone program (SOCP), where all the IRS phase shifts are simultaneously optimized. For comparison, we also study two suboptimal IRS beamforming configurations in simulations, namely partially dynamic IRS beamforming (PDBF) and static IRS beamforming (SBF), which strike a balance between the system performance and practical complexity.

description: We adapt the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm to incorporate unobserved hetero-
geneity into conditional choice probability (CCP) estimators of dynamic discrete choice problems.
The unobserved heterogeneity can be time-invariant, fully transitory, or follow a Markov chain.
By exploiting finite dependence, we extend the class of dynamic optimization problems where
CCP estimators provide a computationally cheap alternative to full solution methods. We also
develop CCP estimators for mixed discrete/continuous problems with unobserved heterogeneity.
Further, when the unobservables affect both dynamic discrete choices and some other outcome,
we show that the probability distribution of the unobserved heterogeneity can be estimated in a
first stage, while simultaneously accounting for dynamic selection. The probabilities of being in
each of the unobserved states from the first stage are then taken as given and used as weights in
the second stage estimation of the dynamic discrete choice parameters. Monte Carlo results for
the three experimental designs we develop confirm that our algorithms perform quite well, both
in terms of computational time and in the precision of the parameter estimates.

description: For all pupils, the COVID-19 Lockdown has meant a dramatic loss of routine and structure. But for young people in the care system, schools closing often meant the disappearance of their only safe haven and community hub. Over spring 2020, we surveyed more than 1000 young people in or on the edge of the care system to understand their experience of lockdown. This article will expand on our first report, examining through segmentation the impact of age, gender and care status, and explore why even before lockdown care-experienced young people have lower levels of achievement compared to their peers. We will then focus on solutions, outline the steps MCR Pathways is taking and how we can reorient our communities and institutions to make sure all young people are defined by their talent, and never their circumstances. The article concludes with a vision for the future: a cultural shift which sees our economic recovery fused with social benefits and support for our most disadvantaged; a way forward where everyone benefits and has a role to play in ensuring an equality of opportunities and share in success.

description: Ocean acidification is predicted to impair marine calcifiers' abilities to produce shells and skeletons. We conducted laboratory experiments investigating the impacts of CO2-induced ocean acidification (pCO2 = 478–519, 734–835, 8,980–9,567; Ωcalcite = 7.3–5.7, 5.6–4.3, 0.6–0.7) on calcification rates of two estuarine calcifiers involved in a classic predator-prey model system: adult Panopeus herbstii (Atlantic mud crab) and juvenile Crassostrea virginica (eastern oyster). Both oyster and crab calcification rates significantly decreased at the highest pCO2 level. Notably, however, oysters maintained positive net calcification rates in the highest pCO2 treatment that was undersaturated with respect to calcite, while mud crabs exhibited net dissolution (i.e., net loss of shell mass) in calcite-undersaturated conditions. Secondary electron imaging of oyster shells revealed minor microstructural alterations in the moderate-pCO2 treatment, and major microstructural and macrostructural changes (including shell dissolution, delamination of periostracum) in the high-pCO2 treatment. These results underscore the threat that ocean acidification poses for marine organisms that produce calcium carbonate shells, illustrate the strong biological control that some marine calcifiers exert over their shell-building process, and shows that ocean acidification differentially impacts the crab and oyster species involved in this classical predator-prey model system.

description: Quantum regression theorem is a very useful result in open quantum system and extensively used for computing multi-point correlation functions. Traditionally it is derived for two-time correlators in the Markovian limit employing the Schrödinger picture. In this paper we make use of the Heisenberg picture to derive quantum regression theorems for multi-time correlation functions which in the special limit reduce to the well known two-time regression theorem. For multi-time correlation function we find that the regression theorem takes the same form as it takes for two-time correlation function with a mild restriction that one of the times should be greater than all the other time variables. Interestingly, the Heisenberg picture also allows us to derive analogue of regression theorem for out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs). We further extend our study for the case of non-Markovian dynamics and report the modifications to the standard quantum regression theorem. We illustrate all of the above results using the paradigmatic dissipative spin-boson model.

description: Utilizzando come fil rouge il ‘mito’ della certezza del diritto ed il principio di legalità in materia penale, il contributo si propone di esaminare i limiti e le opportunità che potrebbero derivare dall’utilizzo di algoritmi intelligenti. Se una (dilagante) ‘crisi’ accomuna le distorsioni che in questo momento interessano la fattispecie, la legge e, più in generale, il principio di legalità, l’intelligenza artificiale apre orizzonti nuovi e incoraggia verso un diritto che sia effettivamente certo e, di conseguenza, ‘calcolabile’. La contropartita, però, sembra essere quello del sacrificio di un passato ch’è tradizione, la quale, sia pur sgretolata nella post-modernità, continua a rappresentare la solida base su cui sono edificati i nostri sistemi giuridici.

Using the 'myth' of legal certainty and the principle of legality in criminal matters as a common thread, the contribution aims to examine the limits and opportunities that may arise from the use of intelligent algorithms. If a (pervasive) 'crisis' unites the distortions that currently affect the case, the law and, more generally, the principle of legality, artificial intelligence opens up new horizons and encourages towards a law that is effectively certain and, consequently, 'calculable'. The quid pro quo, however, seems to be the sacrifice of a past that is tradition, which, though crumbling in post-modernity, continues to represent the solid base on which our legal systems are built.

description: Recently many economists have argued that money is a buffer stock held solely for transactions. On this interpretation there can be deviations between desired and actual money balances because of lags in adjustment to changes in the desired volume of transactions or changes in interest rates. But each of the writers in this tradition denies the existence of an asset demand for money and for this reason, denies that money is a part of the desired portfolio of assets and that wealth influences the demand for real money balances. In defense of this mew, many cite the conclusions of James Tobin's justly famous paper on liquidity preference, namely: In a world with close substitutes for money such as time deposits, money is "dominated" by other assets that are said to have all of the properties of money and to have the additional property or advantage of bearing interest. Hence there is no reason for economic units to hold money as an asset, according to this analysis.

description: Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) are promising enablers for high-capacity wireless communication systems by constructing favorable channels between the transmitter and receiver. However, general, accurate, and tractable outage analysis for IRS-aided multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems is not available in the literature. In this paper, we first characterize the mutual information (MI) of IRS-aided MIMO systems by capitalizing on large random matrix theory (RMT). Based on this result, a closed-form approximation for the outage probability is derived and a gradient-based algorithm is proposed to minimize the outage probability with statistical channel state information (CSI). We also investigate the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) with the finite signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Based on these theoretical results, we further study the impact of the IRS size on system performance. In the high SNR regime, we provide closed-form expressions for the ergodic mutual information (EMI) and outage probability as a function of the IRS size, which analytically reveal that the benefit of increasing the IRS size saturates quickly. Simulation results validate the accuracy of the theoretical analysis and confirm the increasing cost for deploying larger IRSs to improve system performance. For example, for an IRS-aided MIMO system with 20 antennas at both the transmitter and receiver, we need to double the size of the IRS to increase the throughout from 90% to 95% of its maximum value.

description: The purpose of this research is to analyze the effects of financial reporting on stock prices of the firms, listed on the Moscow Stock Exchange. In this paper, we use the event study method to analyze the impact of publishing corporate news on changes in the stock prices. The daily stock prices of 49 components of the Russia Trading System Index were obtained from Yahoo finance. Data from the years 2014 to 2018 were used to analyze the relation between the behavior of the share prices and the releases of the firms’ annual, quarterly, and unscheduled financial statements. We use an ordinary least squares market model to estimate market parameters and calculate abnormal returns. We perform several statistical tests for non-Gaussian distribution and find that there is a significantly abnormal relationship between the publication of financial statements and prices of shares. We argue that the stock prices’ volatility on the publication of financial statements is due to an information asymmetry and we therefore discuss recommendations to improve information content of financial statements in Russia.
title:  Mistica e linguaggio in festa
Creators: name: Brezzi  ,  Francesca
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press

description: Il saggio inizia da una rinnovata considerazione per la mistica nella riflessione contemporanea (conseguenza forse della crisi metafisica e quindi della teologia speculativa, a quella strettamente connessa).

 In tale contesto emerge la ‘riscoperta’ di molte autrici femminili, che per secoli erano state dimenticate o scarsamente considerate. Si esaminano pertanto le caratteristiche di tali voci femminili come portatrici di un pensare altrimenti (die andere Offenbarung), di un modo altro di sentire la rivelazione.

Il nucleo di tale ri-lettura della mistica è rappresentato dal  linguaggio nuovo utilizzato, «linguaggio in festa», secondo la nota espressione di Paul Ricoeur, cioè il linguaggio inteso come variazione immaginativa, portatore di una sovrabbondanza di senso, il linguaggio simbolico e mitico. Ne deriva un dire ricco e carico di significatività contro l’estenuazione formalistica del linguaggio filosofico dei nostri giorni.

description: A magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (MMIP) was synthesised and tested for an in vivo rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rat model. Magnetite coated with mesoporous silica (Fe2O3@mSi) was used as core for surface imprinting, dopamine was used as monomer and methotrexate (MTX) was loaded directly during polymerisation. The amount of MTX loaded on MMIPs reached 201.165 ± 0.315 µmol/g. Characterisation of the polymers was done via SEM, TEM, and FTIR. The pharmacological effect of the selected MMIP was evaluated in a Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA) induced arthritis rat model where a 3D magnet bearing construct was designed for targeted delivery of MMIPs. The parameters evaluated were the change in paw edoema, paw diameter, gait score, and animal’s weight. Results revealed a tendency of MMIP to significantly improve the measured parameters which was confirmed with histopathological findings. In conclusion, the improvement in the arthritic signs associated with MMIP treatment compared to free MTX, indicated successful targeting of MMIPs to the site of inflammation.

description: A correlated transmission and reflection (T&R) phase-shift model is proposed for passive lossless simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (STAR-RISs). A STAR-RIS-aided two-user downlink communication system is investigated for both orthogonal multiple access (OMA) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). To evaluate the impact of the correlated T&R phase-shift model on the communication performance, three phase-shift configuration strategies are developed, namely the primary-secondary phase-shift configuration (PS-PSC), the diversity preserving phase-shift configuration (DP-PSC), and the T/R-group phase-shift configuration (TR-PSC) strategies. Furthermore, we derive the outage probabilities for the three proposed phase-shift configuration strategies as well as for those of the random phase-shift configuration and the independent phase-shift model, which constitute performance lower and upper bounds, respectively. Then, the diversity order of each strategy is investigated based on the obtained analytical results. It is shown that the proposed DP-PSC strategy achieves full diversity order simultaneously for users located on both sides of the STAR-RIS. Moreover, power scaling laws are derived for the three proposed strategies and for the random phase-shift configuration. Numerical simulations reveal a performance gain if the users on both sides of the STAR-RIS are served by NOMA instead of OMA. Moreover, it is shown that the proposed DP-PSC strategy yields the same diversity order as achieved by STAR-RISs under the independent phase-shift model and a comparable power scaling law with only 4 dB reduction in received power.

description: I have been a proponent of Debt Equity Swaps, so as to make the record clear, since 1982. That is, since the debt crisis began. And as you will see, as I go along, though I don't think that they are a perfect solution to anything; and believe that there are always problems involved in implementing the programme, they are the best approach which can be taken, and they are more promising than even many of the governments which are now beginning to embark on programmes of that kind.

description: We analyze an extended model of the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma where agents decide to play based on the data from their limited memory or recommendations. The cooperators can decide whether to play with the matched opponent or not. The agents' decisions are directly linked to their level of optimism since they decide to play if they believe the opponent has a high probability of cooperating. Optimism is precisely tuned by parameters optimism threshold and tolerance. Our experiment showed that being optimistic is better for cooperators as it leads to more accurate exploration in the multi-agent system, which tolerates the vulnerability against defectors.
