description: Sarcophaga nurus Rondani, 1861
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1861g: 383 (key), 392 (description).
TYPE LOCALITY: Meigen (1826: 38) gave no locality in his redescription of Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis (Fallén, 1817), but presumably it is Europe because the work deals with European species; “ Environs de Lille [near Lille (France)]” (Macquart 1834b: 181) [locality for Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis (Fallén, 1817) sensu Macquart (1834)]; “ Dans toute l’Europe [in all Europe]” (Macquart 1835: 224) [locality for Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis (Fallén, 1817) sensu Macquart (1835)].
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 specimen, syntype (sex not determinable, missing head and both hind-legs, abdomen eaten by dermestids) (MHNL: Macquart’s collection): Sarcophaga / Myophora Rob. D. / Anus ruber [red anus] / S. haemorrhoidalis F.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Bercaea cruentata (Meigen, 1826) (Verves 1986: 160); junior synonym of Sarcophaga cruentata Meigen, 1826 (Pape 1988: 12); junior synonym of Sarcophaga (Bercaea) africa (Wiedemann, 1824) (Pape 1996: 302; Krčmar et al. 2019: 122).
REMARKS: Rondani (1861g: 392) proposed Sarcophaga nurus for Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis (Fallén, 1817) sensu Meigen (1826: 38) and sensu Macquart (1834b: 181, 1835: 224), which he considered a new species. Rondani referred to Meigen’s and Macquart’s redescriptions of Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis, which were based on an unspecified number of specimens, without adding any additional details: “ Haemorrhoidalis [sic!] Meig. Macq. (non Fall. nec Zett.). Confer descriptiones Haemorrhoidalis [sic!] Meigenii et Zetterst. [S. haemorrhoidalis sensu Meigen and Macquart (not Fallén or Zetterstedt). Compare the description of S. haemorrhoidalis given by Meigen and Zetterstedt]”. So, the types for Sarcophaga nurus Rondani should be in Meigen’s and Macquart’s collections. No specimen labeled as Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis is present in Meigen’s collection in the MNHN (Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle 2020), while one specimen is preserved in Macquart’s collection in the MHNL (O. Boilly, pers. comm., May 2019). There are ten males and five females of Sarcophaga nurus in the MZUF (Box: 19 and F), one male in the OUMNH (Box: 7), one male and one female in the MSNC, which did not belong to the type series. Pape (1988: 12) incorrectly designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotypes (8 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀ pinned with a conspecific male) in the MZUF and reported finding only two of the three pairs pinned together that were mentioned by Böttcher (1913: 193).

Steps Towards Generalization of Tensionless String Theory with Contact Interactions as Wilson loop of Non-Abelian Yang-Mills Theory

description: We propose a possible modification to the tensionless string model with contact interactions. The proposed model aims to reproduce an expectation value of the non-Abelian Wilson loop in the Yang-Mills theory when integrating out string degrees of freedom with a fixed worldsheet boundary. Lie algebra-valued fields whose dynamics are determined by the topological BF action are introduced on the string worldsheet to reproduce path-ordering along the worldsheet boundary. Without bulk contributions, we show that the model describes the non-Abelian Wilson loop discarding effects of self-interactions. Finally, a reproduction of the Wilson loop with three-point interaction is tested in the case of $SU(2)$

Crop diversification in the west of France (Pays de la Loire area): collect and spread experiences of farmers
Creators: name: MEROT Emmanuel

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Over the last 50 years, there has been a trend towards specialisation and intensification to increase the efficiency of production. In Western France, farms are more and more specialised in livestock production and cropping systems are more and more simplified (only 4 crops occupy more than 80% of the useful arable surface of the Pays de la Loire area). Despite the availability of many crops and species for diversification, farmers have to face different barriers and locks in at technical, economical and organisational levels to develop these new crops. Thus, the main challenge of this study is to explore different strategies for crop diversification, dedicated to feed at farm level or to sell at value chain level, in order to identify solutions to support farmers involved in diversification of rotations. The results of the study are displayed through different types. Each type has been described: the farm characteristics, the sociological profile of farmers, the diversification drivers, the mobilized resources and the farmers support. Choices have been done to create homogeneous farmers groups. So, even if this type construction can be discussed, the results are very interesting and a good working base to more precisely understand the diversification process in the Pays de la Loire area. The farmers support has a significant influence on their trajectory. Indeed, all the farmers interviewed belong to an exchange group, but with more or less autonomy. To enhance sustainable crop diversification, it seems necessary to encourage farmers to take autonomous decision through peer exchanges. Furthermore, it also seems that in case of individual advices, they should take account of the farming system (or cropping system) to stimulate a lasting crop diversification.
Volume Phase Transition of Polyelectrolyte Gels: Effects of Ionic Size

description: Although the volume transition of the polyelectrolyte gel has been studied for decades, little research on the effects of size of the mobile ions has been conducted. In the present paper, Tanaka classical theory of polyelectrolyte gel is extended to the cases of mobile ions of finite volume. In the salt free limit, the theoretical results show that the discontinuous volume transition of the polyelectrolyte gel will become a continuous one with an increase of the counter-ionic size. An increase in salt concentration can also make the polyelectrolyte gel in poor solvent collapse. Poorer solvent is needed to trigger the salt-induced collapse in polyelectrolyte gel with larger mobile ions than that with smaller ones. The effects of ionic size on the critical points and phase diagram of the volume transition are also discussed. The theoretical results suggest that the swelling behavior of polyelectrolyte gel might be tuned with salt of different volumes.

description: A spontaneous symmetry breaking in a system often results in domain wall formation. The motion of such domain walls is utilized to realize novel devices like racetrack-memories, in which moving ferromagnetic domain walls store and carry information. Superconductors breaking time reversal symmetry can also form domains with degenerate chirality of their superconducting order parameter. Sr2RuO4 is the leading candidate of a chiral p-wave superconductor, expected to be accompanied by chiral domain structure. Here, we present that Nb/Ru/Sr2RuO4 topological superconducting-junctions, with which the phase winding of order parameter can be effectively probed by making use of real-space topology, exhibit unusual switching between higher and lower critical current states. This switching is well explained by chiral-domain-wall dynamics. The switching can be partly controlled by external parameters such as temperature, magnetic field and current. These results open up a possibility to utilize the superconducting chiral domain wall motion for future novel superconducting devices.

description: Mutational robustness is the extent to which an organism has evolved to withstand the effects of deleterious mutations. We explored the extent of mutational robustness in the budding yeast by genome wide dosage suppressor analysis of 53 conditional lethal mutations in cell division cycle and RNA synthesis related genes, revealing 660 suppressor interactions of which 642 are novel. This collection has several distinctive features, including high co-occurrence of mutant-suppressor pairs within protein modules, highly correlated functions between the pairs, and higher diversity of functions among the co-suppressors than previously observed. Dosage suppression of essential genes encoding RNA polymerase subunits and chromosome cohesion complex suggest a surprising degree of functional plasticity of macromolecular complexes and the existence od degenerate pathways for circumventing potentially lethal mutations. The utility of dosage-suppressor networks is illustrated by the discovery of a novel connection between chromosome cohesion-condensation pathways involving homologous recombination, and Huntington's disease.

description: Heterogeneous digital data that has been produced by different communities with varying practices and assumptions, and that is organized according to different representation schemes, encodings, and file formats, presents substantial obstacles to efficient integration, analysis, and preservation. This is a particular impediment to data reuse and interdisciplinary science. An underlying problem is that we have no shared formal conceptual model of information representation that is both accurate and sufficiently detailed to accommodate the management and analysis of real world digital data in varying formats. Developing such a model involves confronting extremely challenging foundational problems in information science. We present two complementary conceptual models for data representation, the Basic Representation Model and the Systematic Assertion Model. We show how these models work together to provide an analytical account of digitally encoded scientific data. These models will provide a better foundation for understanding and supporting a wide range of data curation activities, including format migration, data integration, data reuse, digital preservation strategies, and assessment of identity and scientific equivalence.

description: We present a forecast study on the cross-correlation between cosmic shear tomography from the Chinese Survey Space Telescope (CSST) and CMB lensing from Ali CMB Polarization Telescope (AliCPT-1) in Tibet. The correlated galaxy and CMB lensing signals were generated from Gaussian realizations based on inputted auto- and cross-spectra. To account for the error budget, we considered the CMB lensing reconstruction noise based on the AliCPT-1 lensing reconstruction pipeline; shape noise of the galaxy lensing measurement; CSST photo-$z$ error; photo-$z$ bias; intrinsic alignment effect, and multiplicative bias. The AliCPT-1 CMB lensing mock data were generated according to two experimental stages, namely the ``4 modules*yr'' and ``48 modules*yr'' cases. We estimate the cross-spectra in 4 tomographic bins according to the CSST photo-$z$ distribution in the range of $z\in[0,4)$. After reconstructing the pseudo-cross-spectra from the realizations, we calculate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). By combining the 4 photo-$z$ bins, the total cross-correlation SNR$\approx15$ (AliCPT-1 ``4 modules*yr'') and SNR$\approx22$ (AliCPT-1 ``48 modules*yr''). Finally, we study the cosmological application of this cross-correlation signal. Excluding intrinsic alignment (IA) in the template fitting would lead to roughly a $0.6σ$ increment in $σ_8$ due to the negative IA contribution to the galaxy lensing data. For AliCPT-1 first and second stages, the cross-correlation of CSST cosmic shear with CMB lensing gives errors on the clustering amplitude $σ_{σ_8}=^{+0.043}_{-0.038}$ or $σ_{S_8}=\pm 0.031$ and $σ_{σ_8}=^{+0.030}_{-0.027}$ or $σ_{S_8}=\pm 0.018$, respectively.

Global Public City in the 21st Century
Creators: name: Daase, Cindy
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2022

description: The 21st century is predicted to become the century of the city, in which urban spaces will be sites, laboratories, and catalysts for global, local, and transnational forms of (democratic) governance. This sound declaration of another spatial turn puts cities once again at the center of interest, especially when it comes to studying the localization of the global. Cities have become objects, loci, subjects, and agents of emerging transnational forms of governance and cooperation. They increasingly now operate not only within but also parallel to and beyond states on the local, regional, as well as global stages. In the context of the contemporary scientific debate about “written” and “unwritten rules” of political and legal practices in different political spaces around the world, the following reflections focus specifically on global public cities. To this end, the article adds new perspectives on democracy and on both written and unwritten rules of the political realm when it comes, for instance, to cities’ relations with the (democratic) state as well as with other cities as participants in global networks. In these relations cities increasingly use the language of interstate relations and international law, and mimic states’ practiced forms of institutionalized and legalized interaction. The paper briefly summarizes key arguments made from international law and political science perspectives, before then presenting selected voices from the literature who might enable us to enter into a transdisciplinary dialogue with them — especially focusing on comparative and cross-regional ones regarding the 21st century global public city.

Women’s Empowerment in Religious Contexts
Creators: name: Mohamad, Maznah
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2022

description: The Malaysian public sphere has provided an effective communication structure for the espousal of group positions. The empowerment of the country’s women in the religious context can only be properly understood when examined within this social framework. However, the feminization of the public sphere in Malaysia has been complicated by the existence of multiple understandings of modernity, ones which are both competitive and dependent on a highly politicized and clearly demarcated sphere of contestation. In these circumstances, the common good has been interpreted differently, leading to the drawing of distinct battle lines in terms of political competition. In this article I identify the women’s movements in which Malay-Muslim women participate as being categorizable as pragmatist, communitarian-oriented, and liberal-feminist in nature. Additionally, they operate within a state or market sphere and display agency that is the outcome of either formally organized or of unorganized action. This multiplicitous nature of modernity in the country engenders a worldview that is reinterpreted and reconstituted to suit both local and translocal contexts. The overarching goal of gender equality is seemingly muted, although women can still be empowered within these movements. This study shows that while the gender equality agenda may not be a pervasive dynamic engulfing all cultures and nation-states, the existence of competitive modernity has nevertheless enhanced the public participation and empowerment of women within the religious context in Malaysia.

Hyperbolic deformation of the strip-equation and the accessory parameters for the torus

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: By applying an hyperbolic deformation to the uniformization problem for the infinite strip, we give a method for computing the accessory parameter for the torus with one source as an expansion in the modular parameter q. At O(q^0) we obtain the same equation for the accessory parameter and the same value of the semiclassical action as the one obtained from the b -> 0 limit of the quantum one point function. The procedure can be carried over to the full O(q^2) or even higher order corrections although the procedure becomes somewhat complicated. Here we compute to order q^2 the correction to the weight parameter intervening in the conformal factor and it is shown that the unwanted contribution O(q) to the accessory parameter equation cancel exactly.

Political Parties in Europe and South Asia and Unwritten Rules
Creators: name: Wiesner, Claudia
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2022

description: This article traces indicators for the “unwritten rules” that shape the functioning of political parties. Unwritten rules are taken to be ideas and patterns of meaning that are not formalized, but that nevertheless still influence and inform the political choices and actions of both individual and collective actors. For these unwritten rules to be able to exert influence, they need to be appreciated and shared by a considerable number of actors. Unwritten rules can, furthermore, have effects in most formal political settings on both the input and output level of the political process. The first two working hypotheses presented in this article are that: a) unwritten rules shape party structures and b) that these unwritten rules can show similarities to each other even if the political system indicators are simultaneously very different. To test these hypotheses, the article undertakes an exploratory discussion of party structures in two Asian — India and Pakistan — and two European countries — France and Germany. The next hypothesis presented in the article is that: c) despite these apparent differences, similarities can be found with regard to four core factors shaping both the party system and the parties themselves: (1) the role of key persons and/or political families; (2) the stability of the parties; (3) the role of ideological currents; and, (4) the role of women, as well as patterns of gender representation and participation in the parties. In a final hypothesis, it is then proposed that: d) any similarities with regard to these dimensions can be explained by the comparable unwritten rules that are at work in them.

China’s Unwritten Constitution
Creators: name: Holbig, Heike
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2022

description: Since the promulgation of China’s present constitution in 1982, liberal approaches have been dominating debates in Chinese constitutional jurisprudence as well as political and legal dialogues between the Chinese and Western governments. More recently, however, the liberal mainstream seems to be challenged by new strands of a “Sinicized Marxist” or “political constitutionalism” criticizing the Chinese constitution for being subject to Western ideological hegemony. This articles focuses on the work of Jiang Shigong, a law professor at Peking University who has been lauded by Western scholars for his sophisticated distinction between “written” and “unwritten constitutions” to capture the “real” constitutional and political rules by which Chinese politics functions. It will be shown how, in the name of a supposedly “non-ideological” approach, his analysis of China’s “unwritten” constitution and political rules actually bears strong ideological implications. Reading between the lines of Jiang Shigong’s argumentation, it appears not only to justify the Chinese Communist Party’s leadership as the “absolute constitution” behind China’s political regime, but also to contribute to a slow but steady crowding out of liberal voices in Chinese jurisprudence and political science.

description: Understanding how immigrants progress in educational attainment across generations is crucial for assessing the long-term impact of immigration on society. Standard data sources used to measure generational progress rely on respondents self-identifying their racial or ethnic origin. But because assimilation and intermarriage can cause ethnic attachments to fade across generations, using these subjective measures of racial/ethnic identification might miss a significant portion of the later-generation descendants of immigrants. This phenomenon, known as ethnic attrition, can hide evidence of generational progress. To overcome the data limitations of subjective measures of racial/ethnic identification, PRC faculty research associate Stephen Trejo and colleagues use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) that reports the countries of birth of the respondents as well as the respondents’ parents and grandparents. They find that when country of birth for respondents, parents, and grandparents is available and used to measure immigrant generation, Mexican Americans show educational improvements between the 1.5 and third generations.

description: In the software development required a fidelity and accuracy in determining the size or value of the software to fit the operation is executed. Various methods of calculation has been widely applied to estimate the size, and one of them is by using the method of Function Point Analysis (FPA). The method is then applied by author to measure the complexity of an academic information system by using the two modeling approaches, namely object oriented and structural models. Measurements in this paper consists of several stages, namely describing the information system that will be built into the UML models and structured. Then the model is analyzed by calculating Crude Function Points (CRP), Relative Complexity Adjustment Factor (RCAF), and then calculate its function point. From the result of a calculation using the FPA to the academic system software development, FP values of object oriented model obtained for 174,64 and the FP value of structured models for 180,93. The result of function point that will be used by developers in determining the price and cost of software systems to be built.

description: We analyze the role of sterile neutrinos in the framework of the $μν$SSM, where the presence of right-handed neutrinos provides a simultaneous solution to $μ$- and $ν$-problems in supersymmetry. We adopt a minimalistic approach, reproducing light neutrino masses and mixing angles at tree level using just two right-handed neutrinos as part of the seesaw mechanism. A third right-handed neutrino does not contribute significantly to the mass of the three active ones, behaving as a sterile neutrino with a mass in the range keV$-$MeV. Furthermore, a sterile neutrino of about $10$ keV can be a good candidate for dark matter with a lifetime larger than the age of the Universe. In particular, the three-body decay to active neutrinos gives the dominant contribution to its lifetime. The one-loop decay to gamma and active neutrino is subdominant, but relevant for observations such as astrophysical X-rays. We find regions of the parameter space of the $μν$SSM, with different values of the sterile neutrino mass, fulfilling not only these constraints but also collider constraints from the Higgs sector.

description: The growing frequency of extreme rainfall events increases the need to monitor unstable slopes and warn of impeding failure. Additionally, the increasing number of vulnerable sites means that low-cost solutions are necessary. This project assumed that a system based on modern photogrammetric workflows and terrestrial multi-stereo acquisitions can simplify hazard prediction and mitigation of landslide-related threat impacting vulnerable people and critical infrastructure. Thus, the challenge of this thesis has been to develop an efficient and automated system to monitor slopes with a self-adaptive monitoring frequency and early warnings capabilities, by adopting a low-cost photogrammetric solution. This was achieved using three case studies, including one scaled laboratory test field (camera-object distance of 2 m) and two field sites (a seacliff - distance of ~ 30 m; a quarry face - distance of ~ 700 m). This research shows the monitoring capabilities of a terrestrial photogrammetric system based on just four low-cost digital cameras combined with Structure-from-Motion and Multi-View-Stereo (SfM-MVS) techniques. The photogrammetric outputs (e.g. dense point clouds) were highly comparable to results obtained with more established techniques (e.g. terrestrial laser scanner and drone-based photogrammetry). Tests demonstrate that when a stationary camera configuration is adopted, imperfections in the camera calibration can be tolerated. In response to the challenges encountered aligning 3D photogrammetric outputs, an automated solution to registration is identified, which involves the use of the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm. This approach produced results comparable to those achieved using a manual procedure involving the adoption of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm. An additional case study allowed the implementation of an algorithm to autonomously adapt the temporal frequency for image acquisition based on recorded change and the development of a framework for an SfM-MVS-based Early Warning System (EWS). The results obtained in this research, demonstrate that an EWS based upon low-cost SfM photogrammetry is practicable. This is significant as it proves that low-cost EWS based upon SfM photogrammetry can help to monitor and mitigate the effects of the growing number of slope instabilities expected as a consequence of climate change.
Social Order as a Boundary Concept
Creators: name: Mielke, Katja
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2022

description: This paper introduces social order as an analytical concept that heuristically helps to grasp phenomena related to unwritten rules. It illustrates how the dichotomies of written vs. unwritten rules, formal vs. informal institutions and state vs. society have limited analytical value for understanding societal complexities. Underlying this proposition is the insight that focusing on rules alone neglects the dimension of enforcement. A thorough consideration of the latter shows that even non-statutory rules can be undermined by social practices that do not conform to dominant local or customary norms and come to be seen as “deviant.” Norm pluralism and power resources constitute important factors that inform choices and social (inter-)action in non-Western societies. It is argued that social order relies on the dynamic interplay of social practices and cognitive factors which constantly shape and reshape each other and thus reproduce social order. Empirical examples from contemporary and historical research are explored to illustrate the analytical value of the social-order concept. Refocusing on social practices and their normative underpinnings necessitates paying explicit attention to power relations. It influences the conceptualization of politics and highlights the validity of the social-order approach for understanding local power distribution, decision-making and enforcement — in short, local governance processes. Derived from research in non-Western societies, social order can be considered a “mid-range” concept in the social sciences. The author concludes the paper by highlighting the potential of “social order” as a boundary notion that enables interdisciplinary communication and, ideally, transdisciplinary understanding of complex political processes.

description: In this paper, we consider a type of continuous time random walk model where the jump length is correlated with the waiting time. The asymptotic behaviors of the coupled jump probability density function in the Fourier-Laplace domain are discussed. The corresponding fractional diffusion equations are derived from the given asymptotic behaviors. Corresponding to the asymptotic behaviors of the joint probability density function in the Fourier-Laplace space, the asymptotic behaviors of the waiting time probability density and the conditional probability density for jump length are also discussed.

Theory-Driven Conceptualization and Epistemic Reflection in Comparative Area Studies
Creators: name: Derichs, Claudia
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2022

description: The discussion of the relationship between disciplines and area studies often revolves around the two issues of theory and methodology. A shared understanding on the part of both disciplinary-oriented scholars and area experts exists with regard to the necessity of making empirical findings regarding the generation of theory, as well as regarding theory testing and conceptual “travel.” Opinions vary, however, when it comes to the degree of interdependence between area studies and disciplinary inquiry: Does area research have to make use of disciplinary-based theories, concepts, and methods? Or, can it do without them — relying instead on a paradigm that takes the field as a realm of encounter and thus dispenses with a translation of “unconceptualized” phenomena into the theoretical terminology of a particular discipline? Moreover, the definition of what constitutes an “area” is an ongoing topic of debate within area studies and disciplinary studies alike. The subsequent discussion in this article attempts to structure the discursive field of current area studies debates — albeit in a non-exhaustive manner. Against the backdrop of the broader discussion about knowledge production in and through area studies, it points to issues of context, condition, and position in such research. It then reflects on the theory-based approach of “unwritten constitutions” (as introduced by Birsl and Salzborn in this volume) as a case in point for creating research designs that take epistemic questions into account.

description: We demonstrate theoretically the feasibility of correlated entangled photon-pair generation with vanishing threshold in a bimodal cavity setup that uses a single V-type three level atom pumped by dual incoherent sources and driven by two coherent fields. The photon-pair is shown to be entangled only for low levels of the incoherent pumps and owes its origin solely to the coherent drives. Our results show that the dual incoherent pumping with no coherent drive can lead to amplification of the cavity fields with strong inter-mode antibunching but no entanglement. Though only coherent drives with no incoherent pumping can produce entangled photon-pairs, the entangled cavity fields can not be amplified beyond a certain limit using only coherent drives. However, the use of even small incoherent pumping in the presence of the coherent drives can amplify the generated entangled photon-pairs significantly. We analyse our results in terms of an interplay between coherent and incoherent processes involving cavity-dressed states. Both the inter- and intra-mode HBT functions exhibit temporal oscillations in the strong-coupling cavity QED regime. Our theoretical scheme for the generation of nonclassical and entangled photon pairs may find interesting applications in quantum metrology and quantum information science.

Rapid Formation of Rocky Planets by Chondrule Accretion
Creators: name: Nordlung, Ake
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Using nested-grid, high-resolution 3-D hydrodynamic simulations of gas and particle dynamics in the vicinity of Mars- to Earth-mass planetary embryos, we show that rocky planets such as Earth and Mars can form in of the order of 1 Myr, by accreting solids in the form of mm-size chondrules, rather than the cm-dm size solids that are often assumed in “pebble accretion” models. The simulations (detailed in Popovas et al, 2018MNRAS.479.5136P and 2019MNRAS.482L.107P) extend from the surface of the embryos to a few vertical disc scale heights, with a spatial dynamic range of order 105. We find that, due to cancellation effects, accretion rates are to lowest order independent of disc surface density, while varying inversely with particle size. As a result, we can estimate accurate growth times for specified particle sizes. For 0.3-1 mm size particles the growth time from a small seed is about 1.5 million years for an Earth-mass planet at 1 au and about 1 million years for a Mars mass planet at 1.5 au. These finding, which are robust – given only the assumptions that accretion takes place in a local pressure maximum (“pressure trap”) and that the dust-to-gas ratio is at least of order 1% – are significant, since it is well known from meteoritic studies that chondrules were abundantly present in the early solar system, and because it has recently been shown by cosmochemical analysis that most chondrules formed in the first million year after formation of the solar system.

description: Internet of Things (IoT) has been widely discussed over the past few years in technology point of view. However, the social aspects of IoT are seldom studied to date. In this paper, we discuss the IoT in social point of view. Specifically, we examine the strategies to increase the adoption of IoT in a sustainable manner. Such discussion is essential in today's context where adoption of IoT solutions by non-technical community is slow. Specially, large number of IoT solutions making their way into the market every day. We propose an trading-based value creation model based on sensing as a service paradigm in order to fuel the adoption of IoT. We discuss the value creation and its impact towards the society especially to households and their occupants. We also present results of two different surveys we conducted in order to examine the potential acceptance of the proposed model among the general public.

description: Acetylenes having both electrondonating and electronaccepting groups (1) may be obtained in good yield from the correspondingly substituted olefines via bromination and elimination of HBr. The reaction of the acetylene aldehyde 1a with proton acids yields, after rearrangement of the primary adducts, the β-substituted acrylamides. Addition of nucleophiles leads to the β-disubstituted α.β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. With hydrazines one obtains pyrazoles and pyrazolones. The acetylenes 1 undergo [2+2]-, [2+3]- and [2+4]-cycloaddition reactions.
Unwritten Constitutions of Political Rule

Year: 2022

description: This article discusses conceptual considerations regarding the constituting and structuring of political governance in Asia, MENA (the Middle East and North Africa), and Europe. It investigates how formal and informal institutions combine with politics and unwritten political rules to form an “unwritten constitution” that acts as a de facto constitution for political governance. Particular emphasis is placed on interrelationships in the development of political governance, since influences between the world’s regions are not unidirectional, but interdependent and reciprocal.

description: Material from the surface of a planet can be ejected into space by a large impact, and could carry primitive life forms with it. We performed n-body simulations of such ejecta to determine where in the Solar System rock from Earth and Mars may end up. We find that, in addition to frequent transfer of material among the terrestrial planets, transfer of material from Earth and Mars to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn is also possible, but rare. We expect that such transfer is most likely during the Late Heavy Bombardment or during the next one or two billion years. At this time, the icy moons were warmer and likely had little or no icy shell to prevent meteorites from reaching their liquid interiors. We also note significant rates of re-impact in the first million years after ejection. This could re-seed life on a planet after partial or complete sterilization by a large impact, which would aid the survival of early life during the Late Heavy Bombardment.
