Agana Swamp, May 15, Swezey, Usinger; gully near Mt. Chachao, May 16, Swezey; Fonte Valley, Aug. 7, Swezey; Piti, Sept. 21, Swezey. This leafhopper was described from Queensland where it occurred on grasses and sedges. It was not previously known in Guam. We found it sparsely on a large swamp reed (Trichoon ro.xburgii). At Agana Swamp, eight parasites were obtained from the eggs of this leafhopper. They are an undetermined species of the trichogrammatid genus Oligosita.

description: Young massive clusters (YMCs) with stellar masses of 10^4 - 10^5 Msun and core stellar densities of 10^4 - 10^5 stars per cubic pc are thought to be the `missing link' between open clusters and extreme extragalactic super star clusters and globular clusters. As such, studying the initial conditions of YMCs offers an opportunity to test cluster formation models across the full cluster mass range. G0.253+0.016 is an excellent candidate YMC progenitor. We make use of existing multi-wavelength data including recently available far-IR continuum (Herschel/Hi-GAL) and mm spectral line (HOPS and MALT90) data and present new, deep, multiple-filter, near-IR (VLT/NACO) observations to study G0.253+0.016. These data show G0.253+0.016 is a high mass (1.3x10^5 Msun), low temperature (T_dust~20K), high volume and column density (n ~ 8x10^4 cm^-3; N_{H_2} ~ 4x10^23 cm^-2) molecular clump which is close to virial equilibrium (M_dust ~ M_virial) so is likely to be gravitationally-bound. It is almost devoid of star formation and, thus, has exactly the properties expected for the initial conditions of a clump that may form an Arches-like massive cluster. We compare the properties of G0.253+0.016 to typical Galactic cluster-forming molecular clumps and find it is extreme, and possibly unique in the Galaxy. This uniqueness makes detailed studies of G0.253+0.016 extremely important for testing massive cluster formation models.

description: It is shown that an attenuated total reflection structure containing a graphene layer can operate as a tunable polarizer of the electromagnetic radiation. The polarization angle is controlled by adjusting the voltage applied to graphene via external gate. The mechanism is based on the resonant coupling of $p-$polarized electromagnetic waves to the surface plasmon-polaritons in graphene. The presented calculations show that, at resonance, the reflected wave is almost 100% $s-$polarized.

description: We analyse supersymmetric models that show supersymmetry breaking in one and two dimensions using lattice methods. Starting from supersymmetric quantum mechanics we explain the fundamental principles and problems that arise in putting supersymmetric models onto the lattice. We compare our lattice results (built upon the non-local SLAC derivative) with numerically exact results obtained within the Hamiltonian approach. A particular emphasis is put on the discussion of boundary conditions. We investigate the ground state structure, mass spectrum, effective potential and Ward identities and conclude that lattice methods are suitable to derive the physical properties of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, even with broken supersymmetry. Based on this result we analyse the two dimensional N=1 Wess-Zumino model with spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. First we show that (in agreement with earlier analytical and numerical studies) the SLAC derivative is a sensible choice in the quenched model, which is nothing but the two dimensional phi^4 model. Then, we present the very first computation of a renormalised critical coupling for the complete supersymmetric model. This calculation makes use of Binder cumulants and is supported by a direct comparison to Ward identity results, both in the continuum and infinite volume limit. The physical picture is completed by masses at two selected couplings, one in the supersymmetric phase and one in the supersymmetry broken phase. Signatures of the Goldstino in the fermionic correlator are clearly visible in the broken case.

description: The ground state phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of a spin-1 bond-alternating Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain with a single-ion anisotropy in longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields are investigated jointly by means of the infinite time evolving block decimation, the linearized tensor renormalization group and the density matrix renormalization group methods. It is found that in the magnetic field-bond alternating ratio plane six phases such as singlet dimer, Haldane, two Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid, 1/2 magnetization plateau and spin polarized phases are identified in a longitudinal field, while in a transverse field there are fives phases including singlet dimer, Haldane, Z$_2$ symmetry breaking, quasi-1/2 magnetization plateau and quasi spin polarized phases. A reentrant behavior of the staggered magnetization in a transverse field is observed. The quantum critical behaviors in longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields are disclosed to fall into different universality classes with corresponding conformal field central charge $c=1$ and 1/2, respectively. The experimental data of the compound NTENP under both longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields are nicely fitted, and the Luttinger liquid behavior of low temperature specific heat experimentally observed is also confirmed.

description: We present a set of log-price integrated variance estimators, equal to the sum of open-high-low-close bridge estimators of spot variances within $n$ subsequent time-step intervals. The main characteristics of some of the introduced estimators is to take into account the information on the occurrence times of the high and low values. The use of the high's and low's of the bridge associated with the original process makes the estimators significantly more efficient that the standard realized variance estimators and its generalizations. Adding the information on the occurrence times of the high and low values improves further the efficiency of the estimators, much above those of the well-known realized variance estimator and those derived from the sum of Garman and Klass spot variance estimators. The exact analytical results are derived for the case where the underlying log-price process is an Itô stochastic process. Our results suggests more efficient ways to record financial prices at intermediate frequencies.

Civic Motivation and Globalization: What Is It Like to Be a Good Citizen Today?
Creators: name: Keller, Simon
Publisher: name: Open Access Victoria University of Wellington | Te Herenga Waka
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Good citizenship is often associated with patriotism. The patriotic citizen identifies deeply with her country and has a primary and far-reaching loyalty to the country. In the twenty-first century, forms of identification that support patriotic citizenship are increasingly undermined. State boundaries play an ever smaller role in forging citizens’ identities, in defining citizens’ moral horizons, and as sites of the political problems with which citizens are most concerned. But there are still good reasons to want people to be good citizens, even if they cannot be patriotic citizens. What could take the place of patriotic citizenship? This paper sketches a model of the “wordly citizen.” The worldly citizen does not identify primarily with her country, but she nevertheless holds a strong derived commitment to her state, grounded in an accurate understanding of her place in her local community and the wider world. Worldly citizenship, the paper argues, is both recognizable and achievable. It stands as an attractive alternative to patriotic citizenship, and also to the “global citizenship” associated with strong forms of cosmopolitanism.

We calculate new \emph{ab initio} potential energy surfaces for OH-He, and the cross sections derived from these surfaces compare favorably with the recent crossed beam scattering experiment of Kirste \emph{et al.} [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{82}, 042717 (2010)]. We identify both shape and Feshbach resonances in the integral and differential state-to-state scattering cross sections, and we discuss the prospects for experimentally observing scattering resonances using Stark decelerated beams of OH radicals.

description: Accurate channel models are of high importance for the design of upcoming mobile satellite systems. Nowadays most of the models for the LMSC are based on Markov chains and rely on measurement data, rather than on pure theoretical considerations. A key problem lies in the determination of the model parameters out of the observed data. In this work we face the issue of state identification of the underlying Markov model whose model parameters are a priori unknown. This can be seen as a HMM problem. For finding the ML estimates of such model parameters the BW algorithm is adapted to the context of channel modeling. Numerical results on test data sequences reveal the capabilities of the proposed algorithm. Results on real measurement data are finally presented.

description: The results of Komlós, Major and Tusnády give optimal Wiener approximation of partial sums of i.i.d. random variables and provide an extremely powerful tool in probability and statistical inference. Recently Wu [Ann. Probab. 35 (2007) 2294--2320] obtained Wiener approximation of a class of dependent stationary processes with finite $p$th moments, $20$, and Liu and Lin [Stochastic Process. Appl. 119 (2009) 249--280] removed the logarithmic factor, reaching the Komlós--Major--Tusnády bound $o(n^{1/p})$. No similar results exist for $p>4$, and in fact, no existing method for dependent approximation yields an a.s. rate better than $o(n^{1/4})$. In this paper we show that allowing a second Wiener component in the approximation, we can get rates near to $o(n^{1/p})$ for arbitrary $p>2$. This extends the scope of applications of the results essentially, as we illustrate it by proving new limit theorems for increments of stochastic processes and statistical tests for short term (epidemic) changes in stationary processes. Our method works under a general weak dependence condition covering wide classes of linear and nonlinear time series models and classical dynamical systems.

description: Based on the spin-pumping theory and first-principles calculations, the spin-mixing conductance (SMC) is theoretically studied for Pt/Permalloy (Ni$_{81}$Fe$_{19}$, Py) junctions. We evaluate the SMC for ideally clean Pt/Py junctions and examine the effects of interface randomness. We find that the SMC is generally enhanced in the presence of interface roughness as compared to the ideally clean junctions. Our estimated SMC is in good quantitative agreement with the recent experiment for Pt/Py junctions. We propose possible routes to increase the SMC in Pt/Py junctions by depositing a foreign magnetic metal layer in Pt, offering guidelines for designing the future spintronic devices.

description: Use wear analysis of bone and antler tools has lagged behind studies of stone tools. In this dissertation I have tried to advance the study of microscopic wear on bone and antler. This study had three main goals. The first was to demonstrate, using theoretical concepts from tribology, that microscopic patterns on bone and antler can be differentiated. To that end, a series of experiments, involving both the manufacture and use of bone and antler tools, was carried out. The second goal was to apply the results of the experimental programme to an archaeological sample. Bone and antler tools from Mackenzie Inuit sites were selected as an appropriate case study. It was found that many of the different patterns defined experimentally could be identified on archaeological tools, but that tools with many possible uses, or which had been used for multiple tasks, are much more difficult to categorize. Finally, the data concerning manufacture and use of bone and antler tools among the Mackenzie Inuit generated by this analysis were used to reconstruct the design system used in making these tools. It is suggested that all the Mackenzie Inuit subgroups included in this study shared the same design system. Based on models from cognitive anthropology, this is taken to indicate a high degree of interaction between the groups. These results show great promise for future studies of bone and antler technology.

description: The role of central star binarity in the shaping of planetary nebulae (PNe) has been the subject of much debate, with single stars believed to be incapable of producing the most highly collimated morphologies. However, observational support for binary-induced shaping has been sadly lacking. Here, we highlight the results of a continuing programme to spatio-kinematically model the morphologies of all PNe known to contain a close binary central star. Spatio-kinematical modelling is imperative for these objects, as it circumvents the degeneracy between morphology and orientation which can adversely affect determinations of morphology based on imaging alone. Furthermore, spatio-kinematical modelling accurately determines the orientation of the nebular shell, allowing the theoretically predicted perpendicular alignment, between nebular symmetry axis and binary orbital plane, to be tested. To date, every PN subjected to this investigation has displayed the predicted alignment, indicating that binarity has played an important role in the formation and evolution of these nebulae. The further results from this programme will be key, not only in determining whether binary interaction is responsible for shaping the studied PNe, but also in assessing the importance of binarity in the formation and evolution of all PNe in general.

description: An unusual atomic scale chemical fluctuation in LaSrVMoO$_6$, in terms of narrow patches of La,V and Sr,Mo-rich phases, has been probed in detail to understand the origin of such a chemical state. Exhaustive tuning of the equilibrium synthesis parameters showed that the extent of phase separation can never be melted down below an unit cell dimension making it impossible to achieve the conventional $B$-site ordered structure, which establishes that the observed `inhomogeneous' patch-like structure with minimum dimension of few angstroms is a reality in LaSrVMoO$_6$. Therefore, another type of local chemical order, hitherto unknown in double perovskites, gets introduced here. X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy elemental mapping, magnetic, and various spectroscopic studies have been carried out on samples, synthesized under different conditions. These experimental results in conjunction with {\it ab-initio} electronic structure calculation revealed that it is the energy stability, gained by typical La-O covalency as in LaVO$_3$, that leads to the preferential La,V and Sr,Mo ionic proximity, and the consequent patchy structure.

description: In this paper we prove finite-time blowup of radially symmetric solutions to the quasilinear parabolic-parabolic two-dimensional Keller-Segel system for any positive mass. This is done in case of nonlinear diffusion and also in the case of nonlinear cross-diffusion provided the nonlinear chemosensitivity term is assumed not to decay. Moreover, it is shown that the above-mentioned lack of non-decay assumption is essential with respect to keeping the dichotomy finite-time blowup against boundedness of solutions. Namely, we prove that without the non-decay assumption possible asymptotic behaviour of solutions includes also infinite-time blowup.

description: The aim of this paper is to present the principles and results about case-based reasoning adapted to real- time interactive simulations, more precisely concerning retrieval mechanisms. The article begins by introducing the constraints involved in interactive multiagent-based simulations. The second section pre- sents a framework stemming from case-based reasoning by autonomous agents. Each agent uses a case base of local situations and, from this base, it can choose an action in order to interact with other auton- omous agents or users' avatars. We illustrate this framework with an example dedicated to the study of dynamic situations in football. We then go on to address the difficulties of conducting such simulations in real-time and propose a model for case and for case base. Using generic agents and adequate case base structure associated with a dedicated recall algorithm, we improve retrieval performance under time pressure compared to classic CBR techniques. We present some results relating to the performance of this solution. The article concludes by outlining future development of our project.

description: We describe interferometric observations of the asteroid (41) Daphne in the thermal infrared obtained with the Mid-Infrared Interferometric Instrument (MIDI) of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). We derived the size and the surface thermal properties of (41) Daphne by means of a thermophysical model (TPM), which is used for the interpretation of interferometric data for the first time. From our TPM analysis, we derived a volume equivalent diameter for (41) Daphne of 189 km, using a non-convex 3-D shape model derived from optical lightcurves and adaptive optics images (B. Carry, private communication). On the other hand, when using the convex shape of Kaasalainen et al. (2002. Icarus 159, 369-395) in our TPM analysis, the resulting volume equivalent diameter of (41) Daphne is between 194 and 209 km, depending on the surface roughness. The shape of the asteroid is used as an a priori information in our TPM analysis. No attempt is made to adjust the shape to the data. Only the size of the asteroid and its thermal parameters (albedo, thermal inertia and roughness) are adjusted to the data. We estimated our model systematic uncertainty to be of 4% and of 7% on the determination of the asteroid volume equivalent diameter depending on whether the non-convex or the convex shape is used, respectively. In terms of thermal properties, we derived a value of the surface thermal inertia smaller than 50 J m-2 s-0.5 K-1 and preferably in the range between 0 and 30 J m-2 s-0.5 K-1. Our TPM analysis also shows that Daphne has a moderate macroscopic surface roughness.

Solar cycle variations in the growth and decay of sunspot groups

description: We analysed the combined Greenwich (1874-1976) and Solar Optical Observatories Network (1977-2011) data on sunspot groups. The daily rate of change of the area of a spot group is computed using the differences between the epochs of the spot group observation on any two consecutive days during its life-time and between the corrected whole spot areas of the spot group at these epochs. Positive/negative value of the daily rate of change of the area of a spot group represents the growth/decay rate of the spot group. We found that the total amounts of growth and decay of spot groups whose life times > or = 2 days in a given time interval (say one-year) well correlate to the amount of activity in the same interval. We have also found that there exists a reasonably good correlation and an approximate linear relationship between the logarithmic values of the decay rate and area of the spot group at the first day of the corresponding consecutive days, largely suggesting that a large/small area (magnetic flux) decreases in a faster/slower rate. There exists a long-term variation (about 90-year) in the slope of the linear relationship. The solar cycle variation in the decay of spot groups may have a strong relationship with the corresponding variations in solar energetic phenomena such as solar flare activity. The decay of spot groups may also substantially contribute to the coherence relationship between the total solar irradiance and the solar activity variations.

description: We consider the problem of two-level system dynamics induced by the time-dependent field B={a(t)cosωt,a(t)sinωt,ω_0}, with a(t) \sim cn(νt,k). The problem is exactly analytically solvable and we propose the scheme for constructing the solutions. For all field configurations the resonance conditions are discussed. The explicit solutions for N=1,2 we obtained coincide at ω=0 in the proper parameter domain with predictions of the rotating wave approximation and agree nicely with numerical calculations beyond it.

description: The Dandot Formation is a part of the Lower Permian, dominantly continental, Gondwanan Nilawahan Group in the Salt Range, Pakistan. The formation conformably overlies the glacio-fluvial Tobra Formation and has a sharp conformable contact with the overlying fluvio-continental Warchha Sandstone. Sedimentary analyses show that the Dandot Formation consists of: 1. bioturbated sandstone lithofacies (L1), 2. dark green mudstone/shale lithofacies (L2), 3. flaser bedded sandstone lithofacies (L3), 4. rippled sandstone lithofacies (L4), 5. cross-bedded sandstone lithofacies (L5), and 6. planar sandstone lithofacies (L6). These can be grouped into shoreface, inner shelf, and tidal flat and estuarine facies associations, deposited in shallow marine to intertidal environments. The upper part of the Tobra Formation at the Choa-Khewra road section, where it conformably underlies the Dandot Formation, contains palynomorphs assignable to the earliest Permian 2141B Biozone. In south Oman, the 2141B Biozone is closely associated with the Rahab Shale Member, a widespread shale unit which is considered to represent part of a Permian deglaciation sequence which culminates in the marine beds of the Lower Gharif Member, interpreted as due to post glacial marine transgression. Thus, the Tobra Formation and the overlying marine Dandot Formation may form part of a similar deglaciation sequence.

Multi-Adaptive Time-Integration

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Time integration of ODEs or time-dependent PDEs with required resolution of the fastest time scales of the system, can be very costly if the system exhibits multiple time scales of different magnitudes. If the different time scales are localised to different components, corresponding to localisation in space for a PDE, efficient time integration thus requires that we use different time steps for different components. We present an overview of the multi-adaptive Galerkin methods mcG(q) and mdG(q) recently introduced in a series of papers by the author. In these methods, the time step sequence is selected individually and adaptively for each component, based on an a posteriori error estimate of the global error. The multi-adaptive methods require the solution of large systems of nonlinear algebraic equations which are solved using explicit-type iterative solvers (fixed point iteration). If the system is stiff, these iterations may fail to converge, corresponding to the well-known fact that standard explicit methods are inefficient for stiff systems. To resolve this problem, we present an adaptive strategy for explicit time integration of stiff ODEs, in which the explicit method is adaptively stabilised by a small number of small, stabilising time steps.

description: Algorithms are presented for evaluating gradients and Hessians of logarithmic barrier functions for two types of convex cones: the cone of positive semidefinite matrices with a given sparsity pattern, and its dual cone, the cone of sparse matrices with the same pattern that have a positive semidefinite completion. Efficient large-scale algorithms for evaluating these barriers and their derivatives are important in interior-point methods for nonsymmetric conic formulations of sparse semidefinite programs. The algorithms are based on the multifrontal method for sparse Cholesky factorization.

description: Soft material robotics is a rather young research field in the robotics and material science communities. A popular design is the soft pneumatic actuator (SPA) which, if connected serially, becomes a highly compliant manipulator. This high compliance makes it possible to adapt to the environment and in the future might be very useful for manipulation tasks in narrow and wound environments. A central topic is the modelling of the manipulators. While comparatively rigid continuum robots are build of metal or other materials, that conduct a linear behaviour, the material used in soft material robotics often exhibits a nonlinear stress-strain relationship. In this paper we contribute an identification method for material parameters and data-based approach within the constitutive equations of a Cosserat rod model. We target bending and extension stiffness, consider shear and neglect torsional strains. The proposed method is applicable to any continuum robot which can be modelled by the classic theory of special Cosserat rods, including constraint models, and shows great improvement in experimental results with mean position errors of 0.59% reference length.

description: We consider generic, or "dirty" (surrounded by matter), stationary rotating black holes with axial symmetry. The restrictions are found on the asymptotic form of metric in the vicinity of non-extremal, extremal and ultra-extremal horizons, imposed by the conditions of regularity of increasing strength: boundedness on the horizon of the Ricci scalar, of scalar quadratic curvature invariants, and of the components of the curvature tensor in the tetrad attached to a falling observer. We show, in particular, that boundedness of the Ricci scalar implies the "rigidity" of the horizon's rotation in all cases, while the finiteness of quadratic invariants leads to the constancy of the surface gravity. We discuss the role of quasiglobal coordinate r that is emphasized by the conditions of regularity. Further restrictions on the metric are formulated in terms of subsequent coefficients of expansion of metric functions by r. The boundedness of the tetrad components of curvature tensor for an observer crossing the horizon is shown to lead in the horizon limit to diagonalization of Einstein tensor in the frame of zero angular momentum observer on a circular orbit (ZAMO frame) for horizons of all degrees of extremality.

Insecurity in Numbers: The Impact of Fragmented Security Sectors on Violent Extremism Across Mali and Burkina Faso
Creators: name: Kumar, Riza
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2023

description: What has allowed violent extremism to persist, and even thrive in Mali and Burkina Faso in the past decade? In this article, I argue that the fragmentation of national counterinsurgency responses, specifically the addition of civilian-led self-defense militias and private military companies (PMCs) alongside state defense forces, has facilitated social and political conditions that ensure the ongoing success of violent extremist movements throughout the two countries. Throughout my article I will expose how the unregulated activities of these forces have significantly compromised the security and governing functions of the state, as well as catalyzed interethnic violence to levels not yet seen in the region. Not only have these factors increased jihadist violent activity but have also shifted public support away from the state and towards the insurgents. Numerical data and my qualitative assessment of progovernment militia (PGM) operations in Mali and Burkina Faso between 2012 to 2023 supports my theoretical claim. This article echoes counterinsurgency literature that emphasizes addressing and resolving social grievances and infrastructural challenges to contain and prevent the spread of violent extremism. However, scholarship has not yet adequately considered the direct links and effects of progovernment militias on the longevity of violent extremist movements. My research fills this gap as my findings highlight the destabilizing potential of these forces and the long-term risks states should consider before enlisting the support of these auxiliary units.
