A primer on hierarchical galaxy formation: the semi-analytical approach
Creators: name: Baugh, C. M.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent observational and theoretical breakthroughs make this an exciting time to be working towards understanding the physics of galaxy formation. The goal of this review is to make the principles behind the hierarchical paradigm accessible to a wide audience by providing a pedagogical introduction to modern theories of galaxy formation. I outline the ingredients of the powerful approach called semi-analytical modelling and contrast this method with numerical simulations of the gas dynamics of baryons. Semi-analytical models have enjoyed many successes, but it is the observations which the models struggle to match which mark out areas where future progress is most likely to be made; these are also reviewed.

description: This paper goes back to a famous problem of Mahler in metrical Diophantine approximation. The problem has been settled by Sprindzuk and subsequently improved by Alan Baker and Vasili Bernik. In particular, Bernik's result establishes a convergence Khintchine type theorem for Diophantine approximation by polynomials, that is it allows arbitrary monotonic error of approximation. In the present paper the monotonicity assumption is completely removed.

description: Non-compact Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) are central to several aspects of string theory and condensed matter physics. They are characterised, in particular, by the appearance of a continuum of conformal dimensions. Surprisingly, such CFTs have been identified as the continuum limits of lattice models with a finite number of degrees of freedom per site. However, results have so far been restricted to the case of periodic boundary conditions, precluding the exploration via lattice models of aspects of non-compact boundary CFTs and the corresponding D-brane constructions. The present paper follows a series of previous works on a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-staggered XXZ spin chain, whose continuum limit is known to be a non-compact CFT related with the Euclidian black hole sigma model. By using the relationship of this spin chain with an integrable $D_2^2$ vertex model, we here identify integrable boundary conditions that lead to a continuous spectrum of boundary exponents, and thus correspond to non-compact branes. In the context of the Potts model on a square lattice, they correspond to wired boundary conditions at the physical antiferromagnetic critical point. The relations with the boundary parafermion theories are discussed as well. We are also able to identify a boundary renormalisation group flow from the non-compact boundary conditions to the previously studied compact ones.
Nonlinear Realization and Weyl Scale Invariant p=2 Brane

description: The action of Weyl scale invariant p=2 brane which breaks the target super Weyl scale symmetry in the N=1, D=4 superspace down to the lower dimensional Weyl symmetry W(1,2) is derived by the approach of nonlinear realization. The dual form action for the Weyl scale invariant supersymmetric D2 brane is also constructed. The interactions of localized matter fields on the brane with the Nambu-Goldstone fields associated with the breaking of the symmetries in the superspace and one spatial translation directions are obtained through the Cartan one-forms of the Coset structures. The covariant derivatives for the localized matter fields are also obtained by introducing Weyl gauge field as the compensating field corresponding to the local scale transformation on the brane world volume.

description: A recently published analytical model, describing and predicting elasticity, viscosity, and fragility of metallic melts, is applied for the analysis of about 30 nonmetallic glassy systems, ranging from oxide network glasses to alcohols, low-molecular-weight liquids, polymers, plastic crystals, and even ionic glass formers. The model is based on the power-law exponent lambda representing the steepness parameter of the repulsive part of the inter-atomic or -molecular potential and the thermal-expansion parameter alpha_T determined by the attractive anharmonic part of the effective interaction. It allows fitting the typical super-Arrhenius temperature variation of the viscosity or dielectric relaxation time for various classes of glass-forming matter, over many decades. We discuss the relation of the model parameters found for all these different glass-forming systems to the fragility parameter m and detect a correlation of lambda and m for the non-metallic glass formers, in accord with the model predictions. Within the framework of this model, thus the fragility of glass formers can be traced back to microscopic model parameters characterizing the intermolecular interactions.

description: Julian Brun (1886–1942) was one of the most recognizable activists of the Communist Party of Poland in the interwar period. His journalism beyond the narrow confines of party debates was highly regarded. An example is his studies of the works of Stefan Żeromski and the national question, which can be seen as an attempt to get closer to the Polish intelligentsia and to take a new look at topics that had been treated uniformly and without subtlety in the KPP until then. Entering the party leadership in the mid-1930s, Brun clearly exposed himself to Stalinist repression, which was to lead to the liquidation of the organization and the murder of its leaders. This, however, did not happen. The text is a study of the situation in which Julian Brun found himself between 1937 and 1941, staying abroad – in Belgium and France – without a party assignment, in constant anxiety about his own future. In addition to reflecting on the biographical situation, the article, written on the basis of documents from Polish and Russian archives, also brings knowledge about the functioning of the mechanisms of the Comintern apparatus.
Gamma rays from molecular clouds

description: It is believed that the observed diffuse gamma ray emission from the galactic plane is the result of interactions between cosmic rays and the interstellar gas. Such emission can be amplified if cosmic rays penetrate into dense molecular clouds. The propagation of cosmic rays inside a molecular cloud has been studied assuming an arbitrary energy and space dependent diffusion coefficient. If the diffusion coefficient inside the cloud is significantly smaller compared to the average one derived for the galactic disk, the observed gamma ray spectrum appears harder than the cosmic ray spectrum, mainly due to the slower penetration of the low energy particles towards the core of the cloud. This may produce a great variety of gamma ray spectra.

description: We discuss the vacuum structure of a version of the Georgi-Machecek model with an exact $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry acting on the triplet fields. Besides the usual custodial-symmetric model, with $ρ=1$ at tree-level, a model with a dark matter candidate is also viable. The other phases of the model lead to electric charge breaking, a wrong pattern of electroweak symmetry breaking or to $ρ\neq 1$ at tree-level. We derive conditions to have an absolute minimum in each of the two viable phases, the custodial and the dark matter phases.

description: Context. Fast-moving knots (FMK) in the Galactic supernova remnant Cassiopeia A consist mainly of metals and allow to study element production in supernovae and shock physics in great detail. Aims. We work out theoretically and suggest to observe previously unexplored class of spectral lines -- metal recombination lines in optical and near-infrared bands -- emitted by the cold ionized and cooling plasma in the fast-moving knots. Methods. By tracing ion radiative and dielectronic recombination, collisional $l$-redistribution and radiative cascade processes, we compute resulting oxygen, silicon and sulphur recombination line emissivities. It allows us to determine the oxygen recombination line fluxes, based on the fast-moving knot model of Sutherland and Dopita (1995b), that predicts existence of highly-ionized ions from moderate to very low plasma temperatures. Results. The calculations predict oxygen ion recombination line fluxes detectable on modern optical telescopes in the wavelength range from 0.5 to 3 microns. Line ratios to collisionally-excited lines will allow to probe in detail the process of rapid cloud cooling after passage of a shock front, to test high abundances of O V and O VI ions at low temperatures and measure them, to test existing theoretical models of a FMK and to build more precise ones.

description: The low-energy physics of antiferromagnets is governed by their Goldstone bosons -- the magnons -- and it is described by a low-energy effective field theory. In analogy to baryon chiral perturbation theory, we construct the effective field theory for magnons and holes in an antiferromagnet. It is a systematic low-energy expansion based on symmetry considerations and on the fact that the holes are located in pockets centered at k=(pi/2a,\pm pi/2a). Even though the symmetries are extracted from the Hubbard model, the effective theory is universal and makes model-independent predictions about the dynamical mechanisms in the antiferromagnetic phase. The low-energy effective theory has been used to investigate one-magnon exchange which leads to a d-wave-shaped bound state of holes.

Intersecting cosmologies : Kalinga morality, misfortune, ritual, and religious change

description: This thesis examines a rural Kalinga, northern Luzon, people's contemporary religious assertions and practices. In particular it explores the cosmological principles that shape much of Kalinga quotidian domestic activity. Kalinga society is configured relative to an ethicized cosmology in which persistent sickness and serious injury are commonly taken as retribution from a transcendent Other (either indigenous spirits or God) for an individual's moral transgressions. The understanding that im/morality is linked to misfortune is so tightly woven into the fabric of social life that people define this axiom as a 'commandment', linking it to biblical scripture, as well as to their own identity as Christians (Catholics and Anglicans). The plurality of religious activity at the village level encompasses trans-local Christianity, a vernacularization of Christianity in the form of an indigenous Sunday mass, and manifold local traditions including domestic animal sacrifice as reparation for moral trespass, and the expiation and propitiation of malevolent spirits. The analysis focuses on the social, moral and cosmological incongruities, tensions and gaps that can arise when people construe particular events and circumstances in their lives according to distinct and sometimes contradictory elements of an otherwise encompassing religious framework - itself informed by both long-established Kalinga as well as more recently introduced (1930s) Christian cosmology and doctrine. I ask how these historically, doctrinally and cosmologically distinct liturgical orders, Kalinga and Christian, cohere to the extent that locals participate in them more or less equally. Pursuing this question I draw on Rappaport's (1999) model of contingent sanctification, and of the interrelatedness among assertions concerning an apical divinity, cosmological axioms, and the ritual activity that affirms all of these. I build on Rappaport's work by bringing this model to bear on not just a single-religious context but the multi-religious environment of highland Kalinga. In doing so I argue that such distinct and co-occurring religious traditions are locally made to cohere, not by people's claims that the same God is their ultimate referent, but by being mutually framed by the Kalinga axiom that links morality to misfortune to other-worldly retribution. I further argue that the advantage of an approach which focuses on such axiomatic principles, separate from an analysis of ritual enactments and the apical divinities these affirm, is that it allows for a more in-depth account of the articulation between disparate forms of religious activity, local and trans-local.

description: The stellar abundance ratio of Mg/Fe is an important tool in diagnostics of galaxy evolution. In order to make reliable measurements of the Mg abundance of stars, it is necessary to have accurate values for the oscillator strength (f-value) of each of the observable transitions. In metal-poor stars the Mg I 3p-4s triplet around 5175 AA (Fraunhofer's so-called b lines) are the most prominent magnesium lines. The lines also appear as strong features in the solar spectrum. We present new and improved experimental oscillator strengths for the optical Mg I 3p-4s triplet, along with experimental radiative lifetimes for six terms in Mg I. With these data we discuss the implications on previous and future abundance analyses of metal-poor stars. The oscillator strengths have been determined by combining radiative lifetimes with branching fractions, where the radiative lifetimes are measured using the laser induced fluorescence technique and the branching fractions are determined using intensity calibrated Fourier Transform (FT) spectra. The FT spectra are also used for determining new accurate laboratory wavelengths for the 3p-4s transitions. The f-values of the Mg I 3p-4s lines have been determined with an absolute uncertainty of 9 %, giving an uncertainty of +-0.04 dex in the log gf values. Compared to values previously used in abundance analyses of metal-poor stars, rescaling to the new values implies an increase of typically 0.04 dex in the magnesium abundance.

Entanglement spectrum as a marker for phase transitions in the density embedding theory for interacting spinless fermionic models

description: Entanglement related properties work as nice fingerprint of the quantum many-body wave function. However, those of fermionic models are hard to evaluate in standard numerical methods because they suffer from finite size effects. We show that a so-called density embedding theory (DET) can evaluate them without size scaling analysis in comparably high quality with those obtained by the large-size density matrix renormalization group analysis. This method projects the large scale original many-body Hamiltonian to the small number of basis sets defined on a local cluster, and optimizes the choice of these bases by tuning the local density matrix. The DET entanglement spectrum of one-dimensional interacting fermions perfectly reproduces the exact ones and works as a marker of the phase transition point. It is further shown that the phase transitions in two-dimension could be determined by the entanglement entropy and the fidelity that reflects the change of the structure of the wave function.

Counsellors’ experience of emphatic difficulty : a phenomenological study
Creators: name: Scerri, Clarisa Sammut
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to capture the lived experience of counsellors, when they encounter empathic difficulties with their clients. Five female counsellors were asked to reflect on situations from their counselling practice where they felt emotionally withdrawing from their clients or felt over-involved with the clients' concerns. A phenomenological approach was utilized as methodology to guide this study. The data collection strategies included a 3-hour workshop that introduced the topic to the participants, helped establish trust and rapport with the participants and helped normalize the participants' experiences. Then, 3 in-depth interviews were carried out with each participant. Each interview was audio-taped and transcribed. Furthermore, data collection was also supplemented by the researcher's field notes. The participants reviewed each transcript before the next interview, so that the transcripts themselves served as further reflective material for the participants. The process of thematic analysis yielded 4 major themes. These were: (a) experiencing countertransference reactions; (b) experiencing feelings of inadequacy and professional shame; (c) experiencing the need for self-care and burnout prevention and (d) experiencing psychological growth and transformation. These themes led to a number of implications for counselling practice as well as for future research. One major implication is that despite their training and competence, counsellors are ultimately as human and as vulnerable as their clients, having their own blind-spots, conflicts and personal experiences and because of this vulnerability, empathic difficulties are inevitable in a therapeutic setting. In this respect, the recognition of countertransference reactions is an important tool for counsellors' self-care and burnout prevention. Other implications concern supervision practices and curriculum concerns for counsellors' training programs.

description: The presence of complex hierarchical gravitational structures is one of the main features of the observed universe. Here, structure formation is studied both for the standard ($Λ\rm CDM$) cosmological model and for the Dirac-Milne universe, a matter-antimatter symmetric universe that was {\gm recently} proposed as an alternative "coasting" cosmological scenario. One-dimensional numerical simulations reveal the analogies and differences between the two models. Although structure formation is faster in the Dirac-Milne universe, both models predict that it ends shortly before the present epoch, at cosmological redshift $z \approx 3$ for the Dirac-Milne cosmology, and at $z \approx 0.5$ for the $Λ\rm CDM$ universe. The present results suggest that the matter power spectrum observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey might be entirely due to the nonlinear evolution of matter and antimatter domains of relatively small initial dimensions, of the order of a few tens of parsecs comoving at cosmological redshift $z =1080$.

description: The proliferation of multimedia devices over the Internet of Things (IoT) generates an unprecedented amount of data. Consequently, the world has stepped into the era of big data. Recently, on the rise of distributed computing technologies, video big data analytics in the cloud has attracted the attention of researchers and practitioners. The current technology and market trends demand an efficient framework for video big data analytics. However, the current work is too limited to provide a complete survey of recent research work on video big data analytics in the cloud, including the management and analysis of a large amount of video data, the challenges, opportunities, and promising research directions. To serve this purpose, we present this study, which conducts a broad overview of the state-of-the-art literature on video big data analytics in the cloud. It also aims to bridge the gap among large-scale video analytics challenges, big data solutions, and cloud computing. In this study, we clarify the basic nomenclatures that govern the video analytics domain and the characteristics of video big data while establishing its relationship with cloud computing. We propose a service-oriented layered reference architecture for intelligent video big data analytics in the cloud. Then, a comprehensive and keen review has been conducted to examine cutting-edge research trends in video big data analytics. Finally, we identify and articulate several open research issues and challenges, which have been raised by the deployment of big data technologies in the cloud for video big data analytics. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that presents the generalized view of the video big data analytics in the cloud. This paper provides the research studies and technologies advancing video analyses in the era of big data and cloud computing.

description: Bayesian optimization (BO) is an efficient framework for solving black-box optimization problems with expensive function evaluations. This paper addresses the BO problem setting for combinatorial spaces (e.g., sequences and graphs) that occurs naturally in science and engineering applications. A prototypical example is molecular optimization guided by expensive experiments. The key challenge is to balance the complexity of statistical models and tractability of search to select combinatorial structures for evaluation. In this paper, we propose an efficient approach referred as Mercer Features for Combinatorial Bayesian Optimization (MerCBO). The key idea behind MerCBO is to provide explicit feature maps for diffusion kernels over discrete objects by exploiting the structure of their combinatorial graph representation. These Mercer features combined with Thompson sampling as the acquisition function allows us to employ tractable solvers to find next structures for evaluation. Experiments on diverse real-world benchmarks demonstrate that MerCBO performs similarly or better than prior methods. The source code is available at https://github.com/aryandeshwal/MerCBO .

description: This thesis presents four papers on unequal development in the Philippines. The first paper investigates the dynamics of provincial per capita income growth. Results show that income disparities across provinces are increasing over time. There is also evidence of income club convergence where provinces are clustering into high, middle, and low-income groups. The second paper focuses on the determinants of provincial per capita income growth. Results show that the effects of growth determinants vary, depending on whether a province is fast growing or lagging behind. This means lagging provinces have more to gain from additional infrastructure and drop in fertility compared to fast growing provinces. The third paper investigates the role of conflict in the development dichotomy in Mindanao. Evidences suggest that conflict disrupts economic activity, damages social cohesion, polarises society, breeds lawlessness, and creates insecurity resulting to poor development outcomes in conflict-affected provinces. The fourth paper probes the role of political clientelism and its effect on the socio-economic development in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). A region-wide survey data is employed to investigate the existence of clientelism. Results show that clientelism is strongly embedded in the political landscape of ARMM. Key informant interviews and focus group discussions reveal that local executives tend to keep their area impoverished and use government resources to sustain clientelistic relationships. These findings suggest that central government should prioritise poor and lagging provinces in order to achieve a more inclusive growth. On ARMM, rectifying the extractive local politics is needed to hasten development in the region.

description: Some multi-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations reduce to a linear equation in fewer dimensions after imposing one additional constraint. A large class of useful conditionally integrable reaction-diffusion equations follows from a single non-classical symmetry reduction, yielding an infinite-dimensional but incomplete solution space. This solution device extends further to other nonlinear equations such as higher-order reaction-diffusion, fractional-order diffusion and diffusion-convection. Applications are shown for population dynamics with or without weak Allee effects, speed-limited hyperbolic diffusion, material phase field dynamics, soil-water-plant dynamics and calcium transport on the curved surface of an oocyte. Beyond non-classical symmetry analysis, examples of other conditionally integrable equations are given; nonlinear diffusion in 1 + 2 dimensions and the Madelung-Burgers quantum fluid in 1 + 3 dimensions.

The QSOs have magnitudes M_V <= -23 (total nuclear plus host light) and redshifts $0.06 <= z <= 0.46$. The aim of the present study is to investigate the connections between the nuclear and host properties of QSOs, using high-resolution images and removing the central point source to reveal the host structure. We confirm that more luminous QSO nuclei are found in more luminous host galaxies. Using central black hole masses from the literature, we find that nuclear luminosity also generally increases with black hole mass, but it is not tightly correlated. Nuclear luminosities range from 2.3% to 200% of the Eddington limit. Those in elliptical hosts cover the range fairly evenly, while those in spirals are clustered near the Eddington limit. Using a principal components analysis, we find a kind of fundamental plane relating the nuclear luminosity to the size and effective surface magnitude of the bulge. Using optical nuclear luminosity, this relationship explains 96.1% of the variance in the overall sample, while another version of the relationship uses x-ray nuclear luminosity and explains 95.2% of the variance. The form of this QSO fundamental plane shows similarities to the well-studied fundamental plane of elliptical galaxies, and we examine the possible relationship between them as well as the difficulties involved in establishing this connection.

description: It is shown that the turbulent flow of acoustic waves propagating outward from the inner edge of the disk causes the accretion of the matter onto the center. The exponential amplification of waves takes place in the resonance region, $ ω= (n\pm 1)Ω$. Here $ ω$ is the frequency of the acoustic wave, $ n $ is its azimuthal wave number, $ Ω(r) $ is the angular frequency of rotation of the disk. The effect is similar to the inverse Landau damping in a collisionless plasma. Energy comes from the energy of rotation of the disk. That leads to decrease of the disk angular momentum and to accretion of the matter. The value of the accretion rate $dM/dt$ is ${\dot M} = πrc_s Σ_0 (c_s / v_{ϕ0})^2 W $. Here $ c_s $ is the speed of sound of the disk gas, $ v_{ϕ0} $ is the Keplerian rotation velocity, $Σ_0 $ is the surface density of the disk, $ W $ is total power of the acoustic turbulence, $ W \simeq \int_0^\infty d ω\sum_{n\geq 0} \Big {|} \frac {Σ'} {Σ_0} \Big {|}^2 (ω, n) $, $ |Σ'|^2 (ω, n) $ is the spectral power of turbulence. The presented picture of accretion is consistent with the observed variations of X-ray and optical radiation from objects whose activity is associated with accretion of gas onto them.

description: Julian Brun (1886–1942) was one of the most recognizable activists of the Communist Party of Poland in the interwar period. His journalism beyond the narrow confines of party debates was highly regarded. An example is his studies of the works of Stefan Żeromski and the national question, which can be seen as an attempt to get closer to the Polish intelligentsia and to take a new look at topics that had been treated uniformly and without subtlety in the KPP until then. Entering the party leadership in the mid-1930s, Brun clearly exposed himself to Stalinist repression, which was to lead to the liquidation of the organization and the murder of its leaders. This, however, did not happen. The text is a study of the situation in which Julian Brun found himself between 1937 and 1941, staying abroad – in Belgium and France – without a party assignment, in constant anxiety about his own future. In addition to reflecting on the biographical situation, the article, written on the basis of documents from Polish and Russian archives, also brings knowledge about the functioning of the mechanisms of the Comintern apparatus.

description: The M-theory lift for the supersymmetry breaking IIA brane configuration corresponding to the meta-stable state of N=1 unitary supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with massive flavors was found by Bena et al(hep-th/0608157) recently. We extend this to symplectic and orthogonal gauge groups by analyzing the previously known results on M-theory lifts of supersymmetric IIA brane configurations.

description: Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) are two of the commonest causes of dementia in the elderly. Of the myriad biomolecules implicated in dementia pathogenesis, sphingolipids have attracted relatively scant research attention despite their known involvement in multiple pathophysiological processes. The potential utility of peripheral sphingolipids as biomarkers in dementia cohorts with high concomitance of cerebrovascular diseases is also unclear. Methods: Using a lipidomics platform, we performed a case–control study of plasma sphingolipids in a prospectively assessed cohort of 526 participants (non-cognitively impaired, NCI = 93, cognitively impaired = 217, AD = 166, VaD = 50) using a lipidomics platform. Results: Distinct patterns of sphingolipid alterations were found in AD and VaD, namely an upregulation of d18:1 species in AD compared to downregulation of d16:1 species in VaD. In particular, GM3 d18:1/16:0 and GM3 d18:1/24:1 showed the strongest positive associations with AD. Furthermore, evaluation of sphingolipids panels showed specific combinations with higher sensitivity and specificity for classification of AD (Cer d16:1/24:0. Cer d18:1/16:0, GM3 d16:1/22:0, GM3 d18:1/16:0, SM d16:1/22:0, HexCer d18:1/18:0) and VAD (Cer d16:1/24:0, Cer d18:1/16:0, Hex2Cer d16:1/16:0, HexCer d18:1/18:0, SM d16:1/16:0, SM d16:1/20:0, SM d18:2/22:0) compared to NCI. Conclusions: AD and VaD are associated with distinct changes of plasma sphingolipids, warranting further studies into underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and assessments of their potential utility as dementia biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Do tar roads bring tourism? Growth corridor policy and tourism development in the Zambezi region, Namibia

description: There are high aspirations to foster growth in Namibia's Zambezi region via the development of tourism. The Zambezi region is a core element of the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA), a mosaic of areas with varying degrees of protection, which is designed to combine nature conservation and rural development. These conservation areas serve as a resource base for wildlife tourism, and growth corridor policy aims to integrate the region into tourism global production networks (GPNs) by means of infrastructure development. Despite the increasing popularity of growth corridors, little is known about the effectiveness of this development strategy at local level. The mixed-methods approach reveals that the improvement of infrastructure has led to increased tourism in the region. However, the establishment of a territorial conservation imaginary that results in the designation of conservation areas is a necessary precondition for such a development. Despite the far-reaching territorial claims associated with tourism, the benefits for rural residents are limited.

description: Simultaneous measurement of both neutrons and charged particles emitted in the reaction $^{64}$Zn + $^{64}$Zn at 45 MeV/nucleon allows comparison of the neutron to proton ratio at midrapidity with that at projectile rapidity. The evolution of N/Z in both rapidity regimes with increasing centrality is examined. For the completely re-constructed midrapidity material one finds that the neutron-to-proton ratio is above that of the overall $^{64}$Zn + $^{64}$Zn system. In contrast, the re-constructed ratio for the quasiprojectile is below that of the overall system. This difference provides the most complete evidence to date of neutron enrichment of midrapidity nuclear matter at the expense of the quasiprojectile.
