description: We discuss the consequence of global polarization of the produced quarks in non-central heavy-ion collisions on the spin alignment of vector mesons. We show that the alignment is quite different for different hadronization scenarios. These results can be tested directly by measuring the vector mesons' alignment through angular distributions of the decay products with respect to the reaction plane. Such angular distributions will give rise to azimuthal anisotropy $v_2$ of the decay products in the collision frame. Constraints provided by the data on the azimuthal anisotropy of hadron spectra at RHIC points to a quark recombination scenario of hadronization.

description: Recent studies have shown that the choice of activation function can significantly affect the performance of deep learning networks. However, the benefits of novel activation functions have been inconsistent and task dependent, and therefore the rectified linear unit (ReLU) is still the most commonly used. This paper proposes a technique for customizing activation functions automatically, resulting in reliable improvements in performance. Evolutionary search is used to discover the general form of the function, and gradient descent to optimize its parameters for different parts of the network and over the learning process. Experiments with four different neural network architectures on the CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 image classification datasets show that this approach is effective. It discovers both general activation functions and specialized functions for different architectures, consistently improving accuracy over ReLU and other activation functions by significant margins. The approach can therefore be used as an automated optimization step in applying deep learning to new tasks.

description: In this paper, we study the characteristics of the member firms on the Korea Exchange. The member firms intermediate between the market participants and the exchange, and all the participants should trade stocks through members. To identify the characteristics of member firms, all member firms are categorized into three groups, such as the domestic members similar to individuals (DIMs), the domestic members similar to institutions (DSMs), and the foreign members (FRMs), in terms of the type of investor. We examine the dynamics of the member firms. The trading characteristics of members are revealed through the directionality and trend. While FRMs tend to trade one-way and move with the price change, DIMs are the opposite. In the market, DIMs and DSMs do herd and the herding moves in the opposite direction of the price change. One the other hand, FRMs do herd in the direction of the price change. The network analysis supports that the members are clustered into three groups similar to DIMs, DSMs, and FRMs. Finally, random matrix theory and a cross-sectional regression show that the inventory variation of members possesses significant information about stock prices and that member herding helps to price the stocks.

description: Wettability of nano porous membrane contactors in exposed to different chemical solvents was studied
in this research. The work is conducted using computational simulation of CO2 capture from flue gas
in a hollow-fiber membrane module. Computational fluid dynamics method was applied for numerical solution of governing transport equations. Simulations were performed to study CO2 transport
through membrane for complete wetting and non-wetting conditions. Simulation results were validated through comparing with the experimental data for CO2 capture using amine aqueous solutions.
The simulation results were in consistent with the experimental data. To investigate the influence of
solvent on separation performance, six common chemical absorbents including aqueous solutions of
diethanolamine, N-methyldiethanolamine, monoethanolamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, sodium
hydroxide, and potassium glycinate were considered in the simulation. The simulation results revealed
that the capture of CO2 using aqueous solution of potassium glycinate was the highest among the
absorbents
Polynomial traces and elementary symmetric functions in the latent roots of a non-central Wishart matrix

description: Hypergeometric functions and zonal polynomials are the tools usually addressed in the literature to deal with the expected value of the elementary symmetric functions in non-central Wishart latent roots. The method here proposed recovers the expected value of these symmetric functions by using the umbral operator applied to the trace of suitable polynomial matrices and their cumulants. The employment of a suitable linear operator in place of hypergeometric functions and zonal polynomials was conjectured by de Waal in 1972. Here we show how the umbral operator accomplishes this task and consequently represents an alternative tool to deal with these symmetric functions. When special formal variables are plugged in the variables, the evaluation through the umbral operator deletes all the monomials in the latent roots except those contributing in the elementary symmetric functions. Cumulants further simplify the computations taking advantage of the convolution structure of the polynomial trace. Open problems are addressed at the end of the paper.

description: „Die Wiederentdeckung der Religion“ ist in einem doppelten Sinn Thema dieser Untersu­chung: als empirisch greifbare Erfahrung, die sich in Gemeinden, Vereinen, Bewegungen, Bürgerinitiativen, kulturellen Netzwerken und Avantgarden um 1900 nachweisen läßt. So­dann als Gegenstand von Debatten und vergleichbaren Kommunikationszusammenhängen der späten wilhelminischen Epoche. Diese Religions-Diskurse sind der Ausgangspunkt der Arbeit und nicht etwa statistisch meßbare Trends. Es geht also zunächst um die Wiederentdeckung eines Themas und davon ausgehend um die praktischen Folgen. Die Lebensgeschichte Albert Kalthoffs (1850-1906) spiegelt exemplarisch den Doppelsinn des Untersuchungsthemas wider: Er war zum einen Protagonist religionsreformerisch-praktischer Initiativen und Weg­bereiter von Religionsgründungen. Seine Lebensdaten erweitern den Fokus der Arbeit auf den für viele seiner Zeitgenossen bewußtseinsprägenden Übergang von einem rationalistisch-religionskritischen Materialismus der 1850er Jahre zu den Neubelebungen der Religion seit ca. 1890. Zum anderen steht er als Zeitzeuge und Beobachter dieses Prozesses, als religions­politischer Akteur, Schriftsteller, Publizist und aktiver Netzwerker beispielhaft für die Renais­sancen des Themas in vornehmlich intellektuellenreligiösen Milieus. Zu Beginn seiner Laufbahn war er als reformorientierter Theologe an Diskursen über kirchlich-autoritäre For­men der Religiosität des Volkes beteiligt, in seinen späteren Jahren am Diskurs über Möglichkeiten der Transformation und Auffächerung des Protestantismus von einer kirchlichen Bekenntnisreligion in ein kulturreligiöses Spektrum, das von individueller Re­formreligion, über Kunstreligion und Mystik bis hin zur Wissenschaftsreligion reichte sowie an der Diskussion über das bis heute relevante Problem der Beziehungen zwischen den Blüten der Nationalreligion und einer konfessionsübergreifenden Zivilreligion.

LIMITS OF LEGITIMATELY DEDUCTIBLE INTEREST IN COURT AGAINST THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN THE ERA OF DEMANDISM Untitled Item

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Objective: To analyze to what extent the legal possibility of the request, the interest to act and the legitimacy are concretely present in all the processes in which the public administration is demanded. What is going to be investigated here are precisely the limits for private action against Public Administration. Methodology: The methodology used is deductive, by way of bibliographic and documentary research, using comparative law and legislation. Results: The procedural interest to litigate depends on the proof of facts or acts, positive or negative, that in the condition of legitimate situation, connect, in theory, plaintiff and defendant. The procedural interest does not depend on the concrete existence of a substantive merit right to be deducted in a sentence. In private law, the claim resisted in concrete depends on prior confirmation of the legitimate situation, which avoids the risk of decreeing the grace period and extinction of the process without resolution of merit. In public law, the legitimate situation that proves the interest may arise from the law, or from the presumption of enforceability or imperativeness of administrative acts. Contributions: The Article contributes to the discussion about the growing demandism in Brazil, as a consequence of the abandonment of citizens and entities by the Public Administration, who await an answer indefinitely and, sometimes, their unfounded requests are denied.
Canadian, eh? : a content analysis of illustrations in Canadian children’s fiction 1799-1939
Creators: name: Brymer, Lois Marylin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: There is a unique Canadian-ness to be found in the illustrations of Canadian children's fiction published during the 1800s and the early-to-mid 1900s. A visual content analysis of 4,934 illustrations in a representative sample of 331 fiction titles spanning the years 1799 to 1939 from the University of British Columbia's Rare Books and Special Collections Library quantified core elements that can be said form the foundation from which today's perceived Canadian identity has emerged and evolved. At the heart of these core elements is Canada's distinct and diverse geography which was documented in 70 percent of the illustrations. When a group of Canadian authors, illustrators, editors, publishers, educators, librarians, and booksellers were asked "What's Canadian about Canadian children's literature?" they could not collectively provide a "dogmatic answer" according to Perry Nodelman (1997a, 5). Nevertheless, the respondents seemed to agree that there is a Canadian-ness in the literature that allows children to see reflections of themselves and their country and that also gives them a sense of national identity. Present views and opinions suggest that as an ever-changing concept, Canadian or Canadian-ness is too elusive, too intangible, and too complex to define. By going back to what may be the root-level of a Canadian identity, to the illustrations in the beginning fiction for children that was published when Canada was evolving as a nation, and by examining perhaps a vital and an overlooked source of the origins of Canadian-ness, this study set out to find quantifiable answers to the questions, "what is Canadian?" and "what is Canadian about Canadian children's literature?" The conclusion drawn from this analysis is that there are no dogmatic answers to these questions. However, core elements such as geography, weather, animals, birds, transportation, and experiences were identified that can be said "anchor" and give meaning to this seemingly "hard-to-pin-down" concept of Canadian. As in real life and as mirrored in the research sample's illustrations, the protagonists' pivotal connection to and ever-changing relationship with the land and its geography has shaped and continues to shape what is Canadian and what is Canadian about Canadian children's literature.

description: The understanding of the shrinkage dynamics of plasmonic bubbles formed around metallic nanoparticles immersed in liquid and irradiated by a resonant light source is crucial for the usage of these bubbles in numerous applications. In this paper we experimentally show and theoretically explain that a plasmonic bubble during its shrinkage undergoes two different phases: first, a rapid partial bubble shrinkage governed by vapor condensation and, second, a slow diffusion-controlled bubble dissolution. The history of the bubble formation plays an important role in the shrinkage dynamics during the first phase, as it determines the gas-vapor ratio in the bubble composition. Higher laser powers lead to more vaporous bubbles, while longer pulses and higher dissolved air concentrations lead to more gaseous bubbles. The dynamics of the second phase barely depends on the history of bubble formation, i.e. laser power and pulse duration, but strongly on the dissolved air concentration, which defines the concentration gradient at the bubble interface. Finally, for the bubble dissolution in the second phase, with decreasing dissolved air concentration, we observe a gradual transition from a $R(t) \propto (t_0 - t) ^{1/3}$ scaling law to a $R(t) \propto (t_0 - t) ^{1/2}$ scaling law, where $t_0$ is the lifetime of the bubble and theoretically explain this transition.

description: We consider the D2-brane probe action in the gravity background dual to N coincident Dp-branes by treating the separation between the D2- and Dp-branes as a nondynamical parameter for $p=2,4,6$. The gauge coupling, the core size of a non-BPS instanton and the mass gap of the compact U(1) gauge theory in the D2-brane are determined as a function of the separation in the type IIA gravity region. The results are interpreted in terms of the 2+1D U(1) gauge theory coupled with the matter fields which are also strongly coupled with the p+1D SU(N) gauge field. It is shown that strong coupling of the matter fields to the SU(N) gauge field can drastically modify their screening of the U(1) gauge field. The non-perturbative dependence of the U(1) gauge coupling on the energy scale is obtained.

description: We are studying the mechanism of the cosmic model in the presence of GGPDE and matter in LRS Bianchi type-I space-time by the utilization of new holographic DE in Saez-Ballester theory. Here we discuss all the data for three scenarios, first is supernovae type Ia union data, second is SN Ia data in combination with BAO and CMB observations and third is combination with OHD and JLA observations. From this, we get a model of our universe, where its transit state from deceleration to acceleration phase. Here we have observed that the results yielded by cosmological parameters like $ρ$ (energy density), EoS (equation of state), squared speed of sound $(v_s^2)$, $(ω_D-ω_D^{'})$ and $(r-s)$ plane is compatible with the recent observational data. The $(ω_D-ω_D^{'})$ trajectories in both thawing and freezing regions and the correspondence of the quintessence field with GGPD dark energy are discussed. Some physical aspects of the GGPDE models are also highlighted.

description: Fluid flow in crystalline rocks in the absence of fractures or ductile shear zones dominantly occurs by grain boundary diffusion, as it is faster than volume diffusion. It is, however, unclear how reactive fluid flow is guided through such pathways. We present a microstructural, mineral chemical, and thermodynamic analysis of a static fluid-driven reaction from dry granulite to ‘wet’ eclogite. Fluid infiltration resulted in re-equilibration at eclogite-facies conditions, indicating that the granulitic protolith was out of equilibrium, but unable to adjust to changing P–T conditions. The transformation occurred in three steps: (1) initial hydration along plagioclase grain boundaries, (2) complete breakdown of plagioclase and hydration along phase boundaries between plagioclase and garnet/clinopyroxene, and (3) re-equilibration of the rock to an eclogite-facies mineral assemblage. Thermodynamic modelling of local compositions reveals that this reaction sequence is proportional to the local decrease of the Gibbs free energy calculated for ‘dry’ and ‘wet’ cases. These energy differences result in increased net reaction rates and the reactions that result in the largest decrease of the Gibbs free energy occur first. In addition, these reactions result in a local volume decrease leading to porosity formation; i.e., pathways for new fluid to enter the reaction site thus controlling net fluid flow. Element transport to and from the reaction sites only occurs if it is energetically beneficial, and enough transport agent is available. Reactive fluid flow during static re-equilibration of nominally impermeable rocks is thus guided by differences in the energy budget of the local equilibrium domains.

From the condition of the horizon volume local maximality an equation for the trapped surface is deduced. Using a known solution on the shocks we find a time-dependent solution describing the trapped surface between the shocks. We analyze the horizon appearance and evolution. Obtained results may describe qualitatively the horizon formation in higher dimensional space-time.

Ecological interactions between the cabbage looper, a parasitoid, host plants and Bacillus thuringiensis
Creators: name: Caron, Valerie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni, is the only lepidopteran causing economic damage to tomato, sweet pepper and cucumber production in greenhouses in British Columbia. Until recently, T. ni was successfully controlled with Bacillus thuringiensis {Bi), but resistance has developed in some T. ni greenhouse populations. Development of resistance has been associated in other studies with fitness costs such as reduced overwintering ability. Here I assess the overwintering survival of Bt resistant and susceptible T. ni pupae. Resistant and susceptible T. ni had similar survival but resistant populations had reduced fecundity and smaller progeny after cold exposure. This fecundity cost is unlikely to be sufficient to select out the resistant phenotype in the presence of Bt treatment and in the absence of immigration of susceptible moths thus resistance to Bt is unlikely to disappear under current greenhouse management practices. As a potential alternative control, a fly parasitoid, Compsilura concinnata was assessed. In the laboratory C. concinnata readily parasitizes and superparasitizes T. ni, with a preference for later instars. Competition in the host when superparasitism occurred reduced host hemolymph protein, and parasitoids emerged at a younger host stage. Host plant affected T. ni and C. concinnata fitness, as well as the ability of the parasitoid to locate its host. In more complex environments such as in the field and on full grown caged cucumber plants, C. concinnata rarely parasitized T. ni. The effectiveness of the parasitoid depends on T. ni life stage and population, the host plant involved and the complexity of the environment. Although C. concinnata is easy to rear in the laboratory and thus has potential for development as an inundative biological control agent, the complexity of this host/pest/parasitoid system suggests that it may be difficult to effectively use this parasitoid in greenhouses.
Large (bi)polarons for novel energy conversion and superconductivity
Creators: name: Emin, David
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Materials containing high densities of exceptionally displaceable ions (e.g. perovskites) have extremely large ratios of their static to high-frequency dielectric constants, > 2. Large polarons form in such materials as their electronic charge carriers self-trap by displacing surrounding ions. Large polarons are very heavy-massed slow-moving quasi-particles that are very weakly scattered by ambient phonons. Large-polaron mobilities, e.g. 1 cm2/V-sec at 300 K, are much smaller than the minimum possible for conventional electronic charge carriers. The minimum mobility for an itinerant charge carrier of effective mass m, eh/mkT, occurs when its mean-free-path falls to its de Broglie wavelength, e.g. 300 cm2/V-sec at room temperature for m equaling the free-electron mass. Distinctively, large-polarons frequency-dependent conductivities consist of two contributions that separate as the temperature is reduced. Large polarons Drude-like contributions are relegated to frequencies below those of characteristic phonons. Contributions from excitations of large polarons self-trapped electronic carriers occur above those of characteristic phonons. Oppositely charged large polarons repel one another at short range. The resulting suppressed recombination facilitates exceptionally efficient solar cells. Large polarons of the same charge attract one another at short range to enable their real-space pairing into singlet bipolarons. Additional attractions between large bipolarons facilitates their condensation into liquids that can exhibit superconductivity.

description: The international wine trade has grown substantially in the recent decades and relevant changes have occurred in his composition in terms of wine categories and the role of participants as importer or exporter. This paper looks at the changes in the international wine trade in the period 2004-2009 and aims to 4 specific targets: to analyze the dynamics of import markets; to identify countries where imports are growing more both in absolute and relative terms; to characterize the countries which may be considered the new emerging wine markets (small traditional and non traditional importing countries); to assess the relative position of different suppliers in order to shed light on competitors that are taking advantage of the growth of these new emerging markets. The analysis has been conducted considering imports in value (€) and in volume of wines as a whole and with reference to three specific categories: bottled wine, bulk wine, sparkling wine. Data source is the Global Trade Information Services (GTI).

description: This paper uses the framework of subjective wellbeing in order to analyze the welfare implication of rural households involved in modern agri-food supply chain in Senegal. It is argued that small farmers are increasingly excluded from high value commodities chain. There is also evidence that despite increasing standards, vegetable export chain can improve rural households’ welfare through contract farming or by the creation of employment. As an alternative and complementary framework, this paper uses self reported happiness instead of the commonly income-based measure to assess the household welfare. We deal with the potential selection bias of participation. We find that participation in modern agri-export chain as contract farming is not related to happiness. Rather, participation as agro-industry employee is positively and significantly correlated to happiness. There is also no evidence concerning income and relative income effect on happiness. We provide some explanations.

description: An inelastic excitation and cluster-decay experiment $\rm {^2H}(^{16}C,~{^{4}He}+{^{12}Be}~or~{^{6}He}+{^{10}Be}){^2H}$ was carried out to investigate the linear-chain clustering structure in neutron-rich $\rm {^{16}C}$. For the first time, decay-paths from the $\rm {^{16}C}$ resonances to various states of the final nuclei were determined, thanks to the well-resolved $Q$-value spectra obtained from the three-fold coincident measurement. The close-threshold resonance at 16.5 MeV is assigned as the ${J^π}={0^+}$ band head of the predicted positive-parity linear-chain molecular band with ${(3/2_π^-)^2}{(1/2_σ^-)^2}$ configuration, according to the associated angular correlation and decay analysis. Other members of this band were found at 17.3, 19.4, and 21.6 MeV based on their selective decay properties, being consistent with the theoretical predictions. Another intriguing high-lying state was observed at 27.2 MeV which decays almost exclusively to $\rm {^{6}He}+{^{10}Be{(\sim6~ MeV)}}$ final channel, corresponding well to another predicted linear-chain structure with the pure $σ$-bond configuration.

Bordering Designs Contestation Designs: An Exploration of Undocumented Nicaraguan Women’s Everyday Life in Costa Rica
Creators: name: Mata-Marin, Silvia
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Design

description: project of modernity reordered and rearranged the world by imposing categories of difference. These currently materialize in inconspicuous bordering systems designed to enforce the separation between the Global North and Global South; the west and rest; the have and have-nots: dualities continuously (re)produced today in the spatial arrangement of the world and in the domain of everyday life. This research focuses on the material possibilities afforded by design to scatter sovereign power— that was once exclusive to nation-state borders— and embed it in the sociotechnical systems that mediate everyday life. This dissertation presents a design-informed framework that situates design in contemporary practices of bordering— understood as processes of exclusion experienced by migrants that are (re)produced at the level of everyday life by state and non-state actors. I propose that by paying attention to everyday life we can uncover how design has been complicit in creating and perpetuating the undocumented migrant condition and how design has been used in the production of “illegality”. In this sense, this research does not seek to uncover the power of design, but instead turns its attention to the ontological relation between power and design, the ways power dynamics materialize by design and how design (re)enforces power dynamics, put simply, it is an exploration of how power is designed.Using the experience of undocumented Nicaraguan women in Costa Rica, I argue that undocumentedness is a designed technology of population management that materializes and legitimizes “illegality” while reproducing the colonial logic of difference between Costa Rica(ns) and Nicaragua(ns). This logic of difference, instrumental to the project of nation-building, is currently (re)produced by popular and political discourses that materialize in technologies of migrant management. Based on the experience of Nicaraguan women living in Río Azul — a marginal, urban neighborhood in the outskirts of San José —, and informed by critical border studies, decolonial theory, feminist theory, political theory, and critical geography, this dissertation locates everyday life as the site of border-struggles for undocumented Nicaraguan women.This dissertation also considers counter-practices that materialize in the form of designs that emerge and operate from other logics, logics that are initially driven by state exclusion such as contestation and (in)visibility, but ultimately logics that build the communal and forms of autonomy. These forms of contestation use design as material politics, in this sense, design is used to reconfigure the material possibilities afforded by their undocumented condition and to redistribute these material possibilities as forms of emancipation.

description: Observations of stellar rotation show that low-mass stars lose angular momentum during the main sequence. We simulate the winds of Sun-like stars with a range of rotation rates, covering the fast and slow magneto-rotator regimes, including the transition between the two. We generalize an Alfvén-wave driven solar wind model that builds on previous works by including the magneto-centrifugal force explicitly. In this model, the surface-averaged open magnetic flux is assumed to scale as $B_\ast f^{\rm open}_\ast \propto {\rm Ro}^{-1.2}$, where $f^{\rm open}_\ast$ and ${\rm Ro}$ are the surface open-flux filling factor and Rossby number, respectively. We find that, 1. the angular momentum loss rate (torque) of the wind is described as $τ_w \approx 2.59 \times 10^{30} {\rm \ erg} \ \left( Ω_\ast / Ω_\odot \right)^{2.82}$, yielding a spin-down law $Ω_\ast \propto t^{-0.55}$. 2. the mass-loss rate saturates at $\dot{M}_w \sim 3.4 \times 10^{-14} M_\odot {\rm \ yr^{-1}}$, due to the strong reflection and dissipation of Alfvén waves in the chromosphere. This indicates that the chromosphere has a strong impact in connecting the stellar surface and stellar wind. Meanwhile, the wind ram pressure scales as $P_w \propto Ω_\ast^{0.57}$, which is able to explain the lower-envelope of the observed stellar winds by Wood et al. 3. the location of the Alfvén radius is shown to scale in a way that is consistent with 1D analytic theory. Additionally, the precise scaling of the Alfvén radius matches previous works which used thermally-driven winds. Our results suggest that the Alfvén-wave driven magnetic rotator wind plays a dominant role in the stellar spin-down during the main-sequence.

description: Objective: Based on the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO), the objective of this study is to evaluate the different tax instruments for the institution of a tax policy in Brazil to reduce the consumption of sugary drinks, in view of the constitutional requirements required for its institution and the peculiarities pertaining to its legal regime. Methodology: The methodology used in the study is essentially based on bibliographic research. In the literature review were considered publications from international organizations, legislative documents, academic papers and judicial precedents related to the topic under consideration. Results: The text highlights two possibilities: the increase in taxes already in force (Tax on Industrialized Products - IPI and Contribution for the Financing of Social Security - Cofins) or the institution of new ones (tax, contribution in the economic domain - CIDE and Social Contribution). Contributions: This article brings as a contribution the discussion that already exists at an international level, led by the World Health Organization, on the focus of obesity as a global epidemic and the defense of the use of tax instruments to modify the eating habits of the population, reducing the consumption of foods that contribute to this condition, especially sugary drinks. In Brazil, although there is not yet a fiscal policy specifically aimed at discouraging the excessive consumption of foods with a high sugar content, the topic has been progressively gaining space in the public agenda and in Brazilian legislative debates.
