Reed Smoot’s Prayers and the ‘Mormon Moment’ of US-American Politics
Creators: name: Snyder-Körber, MaryAnn
Publisher: name: ASJ
Year: 2018

description: On April 6th, 1917, one Reed Owen Smoot prayed for aid in troubled times. That is hardly original in itself. The scene would thus be unworthy of note if it were not for further specifics. April 6th, 1917, was the day on which the United States declared war on Germany and entered the conflict now known as World War I. The prayer was offered in the US Senate in response to that decision. But just as significant as the setting is the praying subject. Smoot was a Senator from Utah, a Republican, and an Apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), that is a Mormon. To which the average reader likely responds, “of course.” If Smoot was from Utah, he was of course Mormon, of course Republican, and of course willing to perform religiosity in public. This essay does not aim to cut through that chain of assumptions. Rather, my discussion offers an account of how these links have been forged: a development that would have surprised the majority of nineteenth-century Mormons as much as their non-Mormon contemporaries. What could be conservative about open scriptural canon, communitarian utopianism, and non-monogamous marriage? Ultimately, however, Mormon conservatism is grounded in particulars of that theology. It has further been shaped, gradually but thereby durably, through shifting principles of LDS political engagement. Consideration of this process offers a case study in how an initially radical formation can fashion itself into conservatism.

description: Sagittarius B2 (Sgr B2) is one of the most massive and luminous star-forming regions in the Galaxy and shows chemical and physical conditions similar to those in distant extragalactic starbursts. We present large-scale far-IR/submm photometric images and spectroscopic maps taken with the PACS and SPIRE instruments onboard Herschel. The spectra towards the Sgr B2 star-forming cores, B2(M) and B2(N), are characterized by strong CO line emission, emission lines from high-density tracers (HCN, HCO+, and H2S), [N II] 205 um emission from ionized gas, and absorption lines from hydride molecules (OH+, H2O+, H2O, CH+, CH, SH+, HF, NH, NH2, and NH3). The rotational population diagrams of CO suggest the presence of two gas temperature components: an extended warm component, which is associated with the extended envelope, and a hotter component, which is seen towards the B2(M) and B2(N) cores. As observed in other Galactic Center clouds, the gas temperatures are significantly higher than the dust temperatures inferred from photometric images. We determined far-IR and total dust masses in the cores. Non-local thermodynamic equilibrium models of the CO excitation were used to constrain the averaged gas density in the cores. A uniform luminosity ratio is measured along the extended envelope, suggesting that the same mechanism dominates the heating of the molecular gas at large scales. The detection of high-density molecular tracers and of strong [N II] 205 um line emission towards the cores suggests that their morphology must be clumpy to allow UV radiation to escape from the inner HII regions. Together with shocks, the strong UV radiation field is likely responsible for the heating of the hot CO component. At larger scales, photodissociation regions models can explain both the observed CO line ratios and the uniform L(CO)/LFIR luminosity ratios.

description: The dynamics in the magnetosphere current sheet was simulated following transformations to the rectangular NxM array of cells (cellular automaton) originally proposed by Koselov and Koselova (2002). The magnetosphere part of the modeling system was organized as a rectangular arrangement of cells with a stored energy, a local redistribution of the energy will exist when a value threshold is exceeded in one of the cells. We assume that the threshold value in each cell depends on external control parameter which influences the long boundaries of the rectangular array (40x80). The model dynamics controlled by the z-component of the interplanetary magnetic field (Bz) as well as analogies between the model transient processes and the observed substorm auroral activations are discussed. The Bz correspond to temporary windows of the solar wind for a group of magnetic clouds and plasmoids. The model simulates organized patterns in the energy distribution. The function of distribution of probability (or PDF) of the size of the avalanches have a power-law form, showing evidences of a system with Self-Organized Criticality (SOC). The occurrence of big avalanches in the model is related with the activation of some intense magnetic substorm. The arrival to the terrestrial magnetopause of a solar wind with Bz negative is a fundamental condition of occurrence of magnetic substorms. While more negative it is the Bz IMF component bigger it is the value of the AE index and trigger a strong magnetic substorm.

Conservative Exorcisms: On William F. Buckley Jr.’s Anti-Liberal Crusade and the Demon of Atheism
Creators: name: Zappe, Florian

Year: 2018

description: This article investigates to what extent William F. Buckley’s lifelong public campaign against atheism is actually motivated by religious values and convictions and to what extent the label ‘atheist’ has been used within the conservative discourse to stigmatize political opponents as well as opposing voices within the movement. It will be argued that Buckley-style conservatism, in spite of the fact that it rests on a Christian foundation of values, stands in the tradition of what I call the ‘hauntological’ tradition of atheism which conjures up the specter of atheism as a weapon to be employed in the battlefields of America’s culture wars.

description: Background
The thumb is considered the main digit of the hand due to its versatility of movement, size, position, independence and relationship with the other digits. There are multiple congenital anomalies of the first finger, including hypoplasia to varying degrees, being one of the most prevalent. The thumb is considered hypoplastic when any part of the ray, whether soft tissue or bone, is deficient or nonexistent. The main objective of thumb reconstruction should be to restore its cardinal actions: mobility, stability, sensitivity, length and appearance. Despite there being microsurgical options for reconstruction of the thumb in specialized third-level centers, thumbing of the index finger (to convert it into a support for opposition, pinching and gripping) continues to be a method of choice in centers that They do not have trained surgeons or the necessary resources to achieve this.

Antiacademism as Anticapitalism: The Rise of American Cultural Conservationism
Creators: name: Monot, Pierre-Héli
Publisher: name: ASJ
Year: 2018

description: It is the opposition to the permanent revolution of capitalism that enacts American conservationism’s credibility as an anticapitalist tradition. By contrast, classical American conservatism entrusted industrial capitalism with the revolutionary proclivities it otherwise condemned on social, moral, and religious grounds. The conservationist tradition is, then, conservative in the Marxist sense, despite the misunderstandings such a description inevitably entails. Hence, by opposition, the historical rapprochement and mutual compensation of classical, mercantile American conservatism and the New Left: What classical conservatism repudiated in revolutionary capitalism (the “uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions”), the New Left soon made palatable under the guise of “destratification.” What the New Left criticized in revolutionary capitalism (“inequalities”), turned out to be a profitable intellectual position posing as ‘post-Marxism.’ As early as the mid-1980s, the CIA, speaking from its own conservative position, already identified some of the institutional perks of adopting such an intellectual posture.

description: The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) is a high-resolution infrared spectroscopic survey spanning all Galactic environments (i.e., bulge, disk, and halo), with the principal goal of constraining dynamical and chemical evolution models of the Milky Way. APOGEE takes advantage of the reduced effects of extinction at infrared wavelengths to observe the inner Galaxy and bulge at an unprecedented level of detail. The survey's broad spatial and wavelength coverage enables users of APOGEE data to address numerous Galactic structure and stellar populations issues. In this paper we describe the APOGEE targeting scheme and document its various target classes to provide the necessary background and reference information to analyze samples of APOGEE data with awareness of the imposed selection criteria and resulting sample properties. APOGEE's primary sample consists of ~100,000 red giant stars, selected to minimize observational biases in age and metallicity. We present the methodology and considerations that drive the selection of this sample and evaluate the accuracy, efficiency, and caveats of the selection and sampling algorithms. We also describe additional target classes that contribute to the APOGEE sample, including numerous ancillary science programs, and we outline the targeting data that will be included in the public data releases.

Donald Trump, American Caesarism, and the Legacy of Leo Strauss

Publisher: name: ASJ
Year: 2018

description: Many months have passed since I presented this essay at Göttingen in February of 2017, shortly after President Donald Trump’s inauguration. In light of intervening events there is one additional matter I would take note of, one which is arguably a positive development; this is that President Trump’s conduct in office, and that of his associates during the campaign, has highlighted an essential feature of the American political system that often remains obscured. This is that America does not have three coequal branches of government; rather, it has three separate and largely independent branches of government, of which Congress is preeminent. This is appropriate since Congress, the lower House in particular, is directly responsive (by virtue of their short terms of office) to the supreme power of the ‘People.’

The Rise and Demise of American Unipolarism: Neoconservatism and US Foreign Policy 1989 – 2009
Creators: name: Ryan, Maria
Publisher: name: ASJ
Year: 2018

description: This essay will analyze the ‘unipolar turn’ in neoconservative foreign policy thinking from 1989–2009. Its core premise is that the touchstone of neoconservative foreign policy in these years was the preservation of America’s so-called unipolar moment—its post-Cold War status as the single pole of power in every region of the world. This, rather than the export or promotion of democracy, constituted the central organizing principle of neoconservative foreign policy in this period. However, the consensus around the concept of unipolarism began to fracture in the mid-2000s as leading neocon thinkers began to grapple with the American failure in Iraq and the rise of other great powers, which challenged their assumptions about the reach and depth of American power.

description: Conservatism is a notoriously contentious term, so any attempt to analyze it will necessarily involve a struggle over naming-rights. A movement calling itself conservative has been gaining prominence on the world stage. With the election of Donald Trump in the United States, and the rise of right-wing populism evident everywhere in Europe, we seem to be in the midst of a revolution. There is a specter haunting Europe, the United States, perhaps the world. Is it the specter of conservatism?

description: We investigate the relic abundance of asymmetric Dark Matter particles in quintessence model with a kination phase. The analytic calculation of the asymmetric Dark Matter in the standard cosmological scenario is extended to the nonstandard cosmological scenario where we specifically discuss the quintessence model with a kination phase. We found that the enhancement of Hubble rate changes the relic density of particles and anti--particles. We use the present day Dark Matter abundance to constrain the Hubble rate in quintessence model with a kination phase for asymmetric Dark Matter.

description: We present a controlled mode of "topological" displacement of homogeneous piezo films that arises solely from an inhomogeneous in-plane strain due to an inhomogeneous polarization. For the rotationally symmetric case, we develop a theoretical model that analytically relates the shape of the displacement to the polarization for the cases of in-plane and out-of-plane polarization. This is verified for several examples, and we further demonstrate controlled asymmetric deformations.

description: Recent experimental developments in the loading of ultracold KRb molecules into quasi-two-dimensional traps, combined with the ability to tune the ratio between elastic and loss (inelastic/reactive) collisions through application of an external electric field, are opening the door to achieving efficient evaporative cooling of reactive polar molecules. In this paper, we use Monte Carlo simulations and semianalytic models to study theoretically the experimental parameter regimes in which evaporative cooling is feasible under current trapping conditions. We investigate the effect of the anisotropic character of dipole-dipole collisions and reduced dimensionality on evaporative cooling. We also present an analysis of the experimentally relevant anti-evaporation effects that are induced by chemical reactions that take place when more than one axial vibrational state is populated.

description: Der Erste Weltkrieg ist auch ein Krieg der Bilder, genauer: ein Krieg, in dem erstmals das Medium der Fotografie massenhaft eingesetzt wurde. Schon der „begeisterte“ Abmarsch der deutschen Truppen Anfang August 1914[1] wurde in unzähligen Aufnahmen dokumentiert. Dabei war die Bildberichterstattung stark der Zensur unterworfen. Alle Kriegsparteien hatten zu Beginn oder während des Kriegs eigene Presse- oder Propagandabüros eingerichtet. Die Kriegsberichte und die Fotografien wurden extrem für propagandistische Zwecke eingesetzt; viele Bilder von der angeblichen Front waren zudem gefälscht bzw. in der Heimat nachgestellt worden. Der Krieg war also auch zu einem Medienkrieg geworden. Andererseits blieben die Kriegsaufnahmen nicht mehr auf Bildjournalisten, Fotografen und Propagandaabteilungen beschränkt. Einige Soldaten besaßen inzwischen Kleinbildkameras und dokumentierten ihre Kriegserlebnisse mit eigenen Fotoapparaten.

description: We propose a two-terminal spin-orbit interferometer with a hot molecule inserted in one of its arms to generate pure spin currents. Local heating is achieved by coupling the vibrational modes of the molecule to a third (phononic) reservoir. We show that this spin calorimetric effect is due to the combined influence of spin-dependent wave interference and inelastic scattering. Remarkably, the device converts heat flow into spin-polarized current even without applying any voltage or temperature difference to the electronic terminals.

We show how the mixing of yield stress fluids by chaotic advection is reduced compared to the mixing of Newtonian fluids and explain our results bringing to light the relevant mechanisms: the presence of fluid that only flows intermittently, a phenomenon enhanced by the yield stress, and the importance of the peripheral region. This finding is confirmed via numerical simulations. Anomalously slow mixing is observed when the synchronization of different stirring elements leads to the repetition of slow stretching for the same fluid particles.

description: Second semester University: Université Libre de Bruxelles
description: The conceptual framework underlying this research is based on the premise that human rights are fundamental to the establishment of an equitable and fair society. However, very often, countries’ migration policies actually violate some of the fundamental rights described in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the other international covenants that have stemmed from it. The discrepancies between the agreed human rights frameworks and the national policies adopted with respect to migration have created significant contradictions within the various levels of the legal framework. Drawing attention to these contradictions, this research includes a critical analysis of the intersection between State commitments to human rights, local policies on migration and the integration of migrants. In considering the contradictions between the national and the international human rights law, this thesis highlights the importance of the issues related to the protection of migrants’ human rights drawing from post-colonial, feminist and Marxist theory. In particular it examines the situations of Belgium and Italy with respect to family reunification and antidiscrimination policies with reference to the legal conditions. It highlights the impact of de facto implementation of legal frameworks in the context of the civil and political discourse that has emerged in the past decade during the so called “migration crisis”.

description: Applying the domain model to the G($2$) gauge group and the thick center vortex model to the SU($2$) and SU($3$) subgroups of G($2$), we calculate the potentials between static sources, as well as some parameters of the vortex profile. Comparing the results obtained from G($2$) and its subgroups, we argue that SU($2$) and SU($3$) gauge groups have important roles in observing confinement in the G($2$) gauge group.

description: This thesis investigates the concept of international state terrorism with a view to providing a legal definition thereof. It proposes to qualify certain uses of state armed force in the light of the category of international terrorism. The latter is understood as the commission of violent acts aimed at spreading terror among a population in order to achieve political goals, and is usually identified as an activity solely perpetrated by non-state actors. However, in international relations states do resort to terrorism against other states. That is to say, armed force is at times used to coerce another state’s government by means of directly targeting its population. This use of force relies on large-scale violations of human rights and should be tackled specifically. The paradigm at stake is proposed drawing on existing documents and academic studies. Elements are derived, on the one hand, from the definitions of peacetime and wartime terrorism; on the other hand, from the legal definition of aggression and the analysis of war-like use of force. The overall aim of the research is both to provide a substantive definition of international state terrorism and to identify which legal consequences it would entail in terms of international responsibility

description: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that involves persistent deficits in communication and social interaction skills as well as the occurrence of restricted interests and repetitive and stereotyped behaviors. Approximately 30-40% of individuals diagnosed with ASD fail to develop functional speech and remain non-verbal or minimally verbal (MV) throughout their lifespan. To facilitate communication, these individuals may receive instruction in the use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) strategies, aids, and techniques. Despite social communication being a salient deficit in individuals with ASD, to date, few AAC intervention studies have focused on teaching socio-communicative behaviors beyond requesting. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of systematic instruction and aided modeling using an SGD on (a) the acquisition and maintenance of socio-communicative behaviors – specifically initiating requests, answering questions, and commenting – with an experimenter and (b) the generalization of socio-communicative behaviors from experimenters to typically developing peers who did not participate in intervention. Five participants diagnosed with severe ASD and eight age-matched, typically developing peers were recruited for this study. A multiple probe design (MPD) across behaviors replicated across participants was implemented to evaluate the effects of systematic instruction and aided modeling on initiating requests for a turn, answering questions, and commenting behaviors. Additionally, pre- and post-treatment multiple-generalization-probes method was used to assess generalization across peers. Visual analysis, descriptive statistics, and an effect size metric, non-overlap of all pairs (NAP), were used to analyze and interpret the results. Results indicated that four participants acquired the ability to initiate requests and answer questions with the experimenter. Furthermore, two participants acquired the commenting behavior. Generalization of socio-communicative behaviors from experimenter to a typically developing peer was variable across participants. Lastly, participants maintained socio-communicative behaviors three weeks after the last intervention session with varying degrees of success. The outcomes of this study suggest that aided modeling and systematic instruction using an SGD may lead to gains in socio-communicative behaviors in MV children with severe ASD.

description: Unter den Begriff der Pressefotografie fallen im engeren Sinn all diejenigen Fotografien, die zum Zweck der Verbreitung in Zeitungen und Zeitschriften aufgenommen werden. Im erweiterten Sinn fallen darunter zudem auch solche Fotografien, die in einem anderen Kontext (zum Beispiel Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft oder Kunst) aufgenommen und dann in Zeitungen oder Zeitschriften publiziert wurden. Darüber hinaus bezeichnet der Begriff der Pressefotografie ein Berufsbild, dessen Protagonisten das Ziel verfolgen, die Öffentlichkeit über regelmäßig erscheinende Printmedien mit Bildern zu versorgen. Dieses Berufsfeld entstand im Verlauf des 19. Jahrhunderts und etablierte sich seit Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts, mit der Einführung der Autotypie als neuem Standardverfahren zur Reproduktion von Fotografien, als fester Bestandteil der modernen Medienlandschaft. Waren Zeitschriften anfangs mit Hilfe von Holzschnitten illustriert worden – zum Teil auch mit Holzschnitten, die Fotografien reproduzierten –, erlaubte das Verfahren der Autotypie erstmals den seriellen Abdruck von Fotografien.
Spectroscopy of ε Aurigae during the 2009-2011 eclipse

description: The results of the spectral observations of a unique eclipsing system ε Aurigae obtained during the recent eclipse are presented. We traced the spectral lines variations at different eclipse phases. The part of these changes is the result of the absorption of stellar radiation by the gas component of circumstellar (CS) disk around the secondary. The other part arises due to the obscuration of the stellar photosphere and the closest circumstellar area by the dusty CS disk. Comparison of our results with the previous one, obtained by Lambert & Sawyer during the 1982-1984 eclipse, indicates the good agreement, and argues in favor of stability of the secondary disk structure. On the base of the new observational data we provide a new mass estimation of the system components.

description: One of the basic tasks which is responded for head of each university department, is employing lecturers based on some default factors such as experience, evidences, qualifies and etc. In this respect, to help the heads, some automatic systems have been proposed until now using machine learning methods, decision support systems (DSS) and etc. According to advantages and disadvantages of the previous methods, a full automatic system is designed in this paper using expert systems. The proposed system is included two main steps. In the first one, the human expert's knowledge is designed as decision trees. The second step is included an expert system which is evaluated using extracted rules of these decision trees. Also, to improve the quality of the proposed system, a majority voting algorithm is proposed as post processing step to choose the best lecturer which satisfied more expert's decision trees for each course. The results are shown that the designed system average accuracy is 78.88. Low computational complexity, simplicity to program and are some of other advantages of the proposed system.

description: Part of a collection of 21 letters sent by William Powell Frith to his great nephew Henry Keyworth Raine, dating from March 16, 1890 to March 29, 1908. William Powell Frith (1819-1909), painter of historical and genre works, including large canvases such as Derby Day (1858). “The Race for Wealth” comprises five paintings, all based around a fictional central character, a corrupt financier called The Spider, and all dealing with the theme of reckless financial speculation. Inspired by characters found in the novels of Charles Dickens and Anthony Trollope, The Spider persuades his victims to invest in dubious schemes. Often compared with Hogarth’s “The Rake’s Progress,” “The Race for Wealth” portrays The Spider’s initial success, his unmasking, his trial, and ends with his imprisonment. This letter has a note made at top of first page, possibly written by Henry: "Letter to my grandmother about my drawing of Uncle Hodgkinsen" done with lamp at night at York". It showed William giving some feedback on Henry's drawing.

The behaviour of copper in view of radiation damage in the LHC luminosity upgrade

description: In view of the safe operation of the quadrupoles in the luminosity upgrade of the LHC accelerator, the response of the copper stabilizer at low temperatures to the various high energy radiation sources is of primary importance. The present study takes into account the expected high energy spectrum of the simultaneous radiation by neutrons, protons, pions, electrons and photons, calculated using the FLUKA code by F. Cerutti (CERN) as well as on literature values. It was found that proton irradiation causes a considerably higher damage than neutron irradiation: in spite of a 3.8% proton fraction, the measured damage is of the order of 20%, which fits with the calculations of N. Mokhov (Fermilab) on the contribution of protons to the dpa. The same calculations indicate that the total effect of protons, pions and electrons is at least as high as that of neutrons. Since recent neutron experiments of Nakamoto et al. show that the RRR of Cu is reduced from 200 to 50-120 for a fluence of 10^{21} n/cm^{2}, it follows that the inclusion of all high energy sources would lead to RRR values well below 50, thus endangering stability and protection. This result confirms the necessity of including a tungsten shield inside the quadrupoles.

description: In hydrodynamical modelling of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions the freeze-out is typically assumed to take place on a surface of constant temperature or energy density. In this work we apply a dynamical freeze-out criterion, which compares the hydrodynamical expansion rate with the pion scattering rate, to an event-by-event ideal hydrodynamics at the full RHIC collision energy. We present hadron spectra and elliptic flow calculated using (2+1)-dimensional ideal hydrodynamics, and show the differences between constant temperature and dynamical freeze-out criteria. We find that when the freeze-out ratio is fixed to one, the different freeze-out criteria lead to slightly different spectra and v_2(p_T) in the event-by-event calculations.
