description: Pseudopoda Jäger 2000 The genus was described from specimens mainly from Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand and China. Recent records in Vietnam (Jäger & Vedel 2005) and Laos (Jäger et al. 2006) completed the image of its distribution range. As found in other countries, representatives live in habitats with high humidity, such as riversides of streams in forests. The following three species were recently described as first records of this genus for Laos (Jäger et al. 2006): Pseudopoda confusa Jäger, Pathoumthong & Vedel 2006, Pseudopoda gemina Jäger, Pathoumthong & Vedel 2006, Pseudopoda namkhan Jäger, Pathoumthong & Vedel 2006. In material from the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris one single female was located, which is described below as new species.

description: In this paper annual data series covering 1955-56 to 1978-79 are used to estimate the elasticity of demand for both wine and beer. These are first estimated using a flexible functional form. The habit formation hypothesis and the role of social and demographic factors are also examined. The demand for wine in aggregate is estimated to be relatively price inelastic in the short run, while in the long run it is relatively price elastic. With respect to income, the demand for wine is shown to be relatively highly elastic. For beer, demand with respect to price and income is found to be relatively inelastic in the short run as well as in the long run. These results can be used to evaluate the impact of changes in patterns of consumption and of government taxation policies on the industry.
Regional and national identity in Austrian dialectal pop songs A critical analysis of two Austropop songs
Creators: name: Thumberger, Ulrike
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2014

description: Austria is a country where, even today, a lot of people still speak dialect as their first language. Though small in dimension, the country has a very rich dialectal heritage, with most dialects belonging to the Bavarian group and just a small territory in the Western part being of Alemannic origin. There are also studies which show that people’s identity is largely bound to the dialect they speak and the area they originally stem from. As dialect still plays an important role in many aspects of life you can also find a number of pop songs the lyrics of which are written and rendered in dialect. The use of dialect in Austrian pop songs came up in the 1970’s with the »Austropop« movement. With dialect being the most domestic style of language spoken in Austria, it was only a logical consequence that it became a part of »Austropop«. The paper aims at showing how regional as well as national identity was and is constructed through the use of dialect and place names in the lyrics of Austrian pop songs by analysing two songs, namely »Vo Mello bis ge Schoppornou«, rendered in Alemannic dialect, and »Jö schau«, sung in a Bavarian dialect like Viennese.

description: All sufficiently massive clusters of galaxies are expected to be surrounded by strong accretion shocks, where protons can be accelerated to $\sim 10^{18}$-$10^{19}$ eV under plausible conditions. Such protons interact with the cosmic microwave background and efficiently produce very high energy electron-positron pairs, which then radiate synchrotron and inverse Compton emission, peaking respectively at hard X-ray and TeV gamma-ray energies. Characterized by hard spectra (photon indices $\sim 1.5$) and spatial distribution tracing the accretion shock, these can dominate over other nonthermal components depending on the shock magnetic field. HESS and other Cerenkov telescopes may detect the TeV emission from nearby clusters, notwithstanding its extended nature. The hard X-rays may be observable by future imaging facilities such as NeXT, and possibly also by ASTRO-E2/HXD. Such detections will not only provide a clear signature of ultra-high energy proton acceleration, but also an important probe of the accretion shock itself as well as magnetic fields in the outermost regions of clusters.

description: The accurate prediction of solid-solid structural phase transitions at finite temperature is a challenging task, since the dynamics is so slow that direct simulations of the phase transitions by first-principles (FP) methods are typically not possible. Here, we study the $α$-$β$ phase transition of Zr at ambient pressure by means of on-the-fly machine-learned force fields. These are automatically generated during FP molecular dynamics (MD) simulations without the need of human intervention, while retaining almost FP accuracy. Our MD simulations successfully reproduce the first-order displacive nature of the phase transition, which is manifested by an abrupt jump of the volume and a cooperative displacement of atoms at the phase transition temperature. The phase transition is further identified by the simulated x-ray powder diffraction, and the predicted phase transition temperature is in reasonable agreement with experiment. Furthermore, we show that using a singular value decomposition and pseudo inversion of the design matrix generally improves the machine-learned force field compared to the usual inversion of the squared matrix in the regularized Bayesian regression.

description: The problem of salinity and proposals to control or ameliorate it have received increasing attention in Australia in recent years. It is generally agreed that inappropriate land and water management practices, such as the excessive use of irrigation water in hydrologically unsuitable areas, are the main cause of the increasing levels of salinity which have been observed over the period of European settlement. If mitigation works are undertaken without regard to the incentive structures which generate these practices, they may encourage an extension of inappropriate land uses and ultimately be ineffectual or even counterproductive. Analysis of these problems requires consideration of some issues which have so far received limited attention in discussions of salinity. These include the incentives which lead farmers to adopt different land management practices and the way in which institutional structures operate to generate these incentives. This change in focus has important implications for areas of analysis such as modelling. In the present paper, a model of the Murray River system, developed by Quiggin (1988a) is applied to the problem of farm responses to mitigation works and the availability of new technologies.

description: The complexity of modelling risk in farming systems is explained and the artistic nature of the task noted. A brief outline is presented of an appropriate conceptual framework, drawing attention to the merits of stochastic efficiency criteria for analysis of systems when risk preferences of individual farmers are unavailable. A distinction is drawn between planning problems with and without embedded risk. The merits of 'utility efficient' (UE) programming are explained. Extensions of programming models, including UE formulations, to embedded risk using discrete stochastic programming are reviewed. The paper concludes with a discussion of the importance of correctly understanding the way risk impacts upon the target farming system, and then of formulating a programming model appropriate to the case.

description: We suggest an experiment to observe vacuum birefringence induced by intense laser fields. A high-intensity laser pulse is focused to ultra-relativistic intensity and polarizes the vacuum which then acts like a birefringent medium. The latter is probed by a linearly polarized x-ray pulse. We calculate the resulting ellipticity signal within strong-field QED assuming Gaussian beams. The laser technology required for detecting the signal will be available within the next three years.

Supraglacial Hydrology

description: Ice sheets, large masses of glacial ice covering polar regions, influence
 global sea level and ocean currents. The study of surface water on these
 ice sheets, supraglacial hydrology, is essential to understand the effects
 of climate change on ice sheet stability, sea-level rise, and climate
 systems. This thesis examines supraglacial hydrological systems in
 Antarctica and Greenland by developing novel methods to classify them
 using optical satellite imagery (Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8).

 Chapter 2 reveals the presence of supraglacial hydrology features, such as
 lakes and channels, on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet through a novel
 dual-NDWI and k-means clustering approach. A total of 10,478 features
 covering 119.4 km² were identified, broadening our knowledge of
 Antarctica's supraglacial hydrology.

 Chapter 3 uses random forest and radiative transfer models to analyse the
 extent and volume of surface meltwater on the Greenland Ice Sheet from
 2014 to 2022. This study assesses supraglacial hydrological features
 Greenland wide, on a decadal scale, for the first time. The results imply
 that reductions in firn air content and increases in ice slab content are
 drivers of increasing meltwater in various drainage basins, particularly
 in the north, east, and south.

 Chapter 4 presents an innovative algorithm that quantifies uncertainty in
 the prediction of supraglacial hydrology using Bayesian inference with
 spatial statistics. This probabilistic approach provides predictions for
 the presence of water at the pixel level with associated standard
 deviations, which signify uncertainty. By quantifying uncertainty, this
 approach is important for understanding the quantity and trends of
 meltwater flowing into the ocean.

 This research advances our understanding of the distribution and dynamics
 of supraglacial hydrology on ice sheets, providing data and tools for the
 wider scientific community. These findings contribute to our understanding
 of the impacts of climate change on polar regions and support machine
 learning models to map surface water.
An improved trigger for Askaryan radio detectors

description: High-energy neutrinos with energies above a few $10^{16}$eV can be measured efficiently with in-ice radio detectors which complement optical detectors such as IceCube at higher energies. Several pilot arrays explore the radio technology successfully in Antarctica. Because of the low flux and interaction cross-section of neutrinos it is vital to increase the sensitivity of the radio detector as much as possible. In this manuscript, different approaches to trigger on high-energy neutrinos are systematically studied and optimized. We find that the sensitivity can be improved substantially (by more than 50% between $10^{17}$eV and $10^{18}$eV) by simply restricting the bandwidth in the trigger to frequencies between 80 MHz and 200 MHz instead of the currently used 80 MHz to ~1 GHz bandwidth. We also compare different trigger schemes that are currently being used (a simple amplitude threshold, a high/low threshold trigger and a power-integration trigger) and find that the scheme that performs best depends on the dispersion of the detector. These findings inform the detector design of future Askaryan detectors and can be used to increase the sensitivity to high-energy neutrinos significantly without any additional costs. The findings also apply to the phased array trigger concept.

Subjects: Livestock Production/Industries

description: This article describes a farm level case study evaluation of a new beef production technology. The evaluation was undertaken as input into a technical research project aimed at developing farm level management strategies to facilitate use of the twinning technology when it becomes commercially available. The evaluation includes budgeting methods and a Linear Programming analysis. A risk analysis was also conducted in which key factors are varied stochastically and the resulting distributions of activity gross margins compared. The analysis shows that twinning could potentially improve the returns to intensive beef production systems, depending importantly on the level and variability of weaning percentage.
The role of spirituality in the transition through midlife : a narrative study
Creators: name: Paproski, Donna Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study explores the role of spirituality in the transition through midlife. Using narrative research methodology, in-depth tape-recorded interviews were conducted with ten self-selected adults between the ages of 47 and 63 who felt spirituality had played an important role in their transition through mid-life. Of the seven women and three men who participated, nine were Caucasian and one was Asian. Four participants were not adherents of a recognized religious faith, while the other six reported an affiliation with Eastern, middle-Eastern, or Western faiths. Of this well-educated, middle to upper income sample, four participants were married with children, three were single, and three were divorced. Tape-recorded interview transcriptions were used to develop first person narrative accounts of the role spirituality in the transition through midlife. These accounts were validated by the participants. Further analysis of the validated narratives yielded ten common elements. The first four elements indicated a significant role for spirituality in the developmental process of midlife, by helping the participants to cope with losses and challenges, revise values and identity, and find spiritual meaning. The next six elements, which suggest an expanded definition of spirituality, described the ongoing importance of spirituality in the lives of the participants. The common elements and findings are discussed in light of current theory and research on midlife, as well as psychological perspectives on spirituality.

description: The literature on measuring the size and distribution of returns to research has paid increasing attention of late to questions that require a multimarket framework. These questions include the distribution of benefits among stages of a multistage process or among factors of production (i.e. the vertical incidence) and the distribution across different markets either for the same product in different places or for different products (the horizontal incidence). The latter may be regarded as including quality change which has attracted recent attention. In much of the literature, a linear elasticity modeling approach has been used to obtain measures of the consequences of research-induced supply shifts for prices and quantities which, in turn, are used to evaluate the size and distribution of welfare effects. This review summarizes the state of the art of that work. It is a selective treatment, beginning with a simple basic model of research benefits and proceeding to consider increasingly complicated problems of vertically and horizontally related markets. The recurring theme is the theoretical and empirical questions surrounding (a) how to represent technical changes, and model their effects on equilibrium displacements, in a theoretically consistent manner, and (b) how to translate those equilibrium displacement effects into welfare measures.

description: The food retailing sectors of the United States and Australia are large industries that are increasingly driven by consumer needs and wants. Both industries are changing to keep pace with social and economic developments. The premises are getting larger and one-stop shopping is becoming more common. The rationing of shelf spare has become an issue. Information technology is providing stores with better information on product movement and sales performance. There is a common movement away from city centres to affluent suburban centres. In Australia, the retailing industry is concentrated in fewer owners than in the US. Future research on retail concentration, trade with processors, and international competitiveness would be worthwhile.

description: For flowing quantum gases, it has been found that at long times an initial black-hole laser (BHL) configuration exhibits only two possible states: the ground state or a periodic self-oscillating state of continuous emission of solitons. So far, all the works on this subject are based on a highly idealized model, quite difficult to implement experimentally. Here we study the instability spectrum and the time evolution of a recently proposed realistic model of a BHL, thus providing a useful theoretical tool for the clear identification of black-hole lasing in future experiments. We further confirm the existence of a well-defined phase diagram at long times, which bespeaks universality in the long-time behavior of a BHL. Additionally, we develop a complementary model in which the same potential profile is applied to a subsonic homogeneous flowing condensate that, despite not forming a BHL, evolves towards the same phase diagram as the associated BHL model. This result reveals an even stronger form of robustness in the long-time behavior with respect to the transient, which goes beyond what has been described in the previous literature.

description: Income averaging for primary producers is a long-standing tax policy in Australia. Major changes were made to the scheme in 1983 to overcome anomalies associated with the previous scheme. However the amended scheme has not been subject to review. In this review, the scheme is found to perform poorly against the traditional evaluation criteria of equity, efficiency and simplicity. The general conclusion is that to avoid cross-subsidisation and investment distortions which are often inherent features of any general scheme, it is appropriate to consider the adequacy of self-averaging mechanisms.

A simple test for the existence of two accretion modes in Active Galactic Nuclei
Creators: name: Jester, Sebastian
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: By analogy to the different accretion states observed in black-hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs), it appears plausible that accretion disks in active galactic nuclei (AGN) undergo a state transition between a radiatively efficient and inefficient accretion flow. If the radiative efficiency changes at some critical accretion rate, there will be a change in the distribution of black hole masses and bolometric luminosities at the corresponding transition luminosity. To test this prediction, I consider the joint distribution of AGN black hole masses and bolometric luminosities for a sample taken from the literature. The small number of objects with low Eddington-scaled accretion rates mdot < 0.01 and black hole masses Mbh < 10^9 Msun constitutes tentative evidence for the existence of such a transition in AGN. Selection effects, in particular those associated with flux-limited samples, systematically exclude objects in particular regions of the black hole mass-luminosity plane. Therefore, they require particular attention in the analysis of distributions of black hole mass, bolometric luminosity, and derived quantities like the accretion rate. I suggest further observational tests of the BHXB-AGN unification scheme which are based on the jet domination of the energy output of BHXBs in the hard state, and on the possible equivalence of BHXB in the very high (or "steep power-law") state showing ejections and efficiently accreting quasars and radio galaxies with powerful radio jets.

description: No explorer reached a pole without a map, no chef served a meal without
 tasting, and no surgeon implants untested devices. Higher accuracy maps,
 more sensitive taste buds, and more rigorous tests increase confidence in
 positive outcomes. Biomedical manufacturing necessitates rigour, whether
 developing drugs or creating bioengineered tissues [1]–[4]. By designing a
 dynamic environment that supports mammalian cells during experiments
 within a Raman spectroscope, this project provides a platform that more
 closely replicates in vivo conditions. The platform also adds the
 opportunity to automate the adaptation of the cell culture environment,
 alongside spectral monitoring of cells with machine learning and
 three-dimensional Raman mapping, called volumetric Raman mapping (VRM).
 Previous research highlighted key areas for refinement, like a structured
 approach for shading Raman maps [5], [6], and the collection of VRM [7].
 Refining VRM shading and collection was the initial focus, k-means
 directed shading for vibrational spectroscopy map shading was developed in
 Chapter 3 and exploration of depth distortion and VRM calibration (Chapter
 4). “Cage” scaffolds, designed using the findings from Chapter 4 were then
 utilised to influence cell behaviour by varying the number of cage beams

 to change the scaffold porosity. Altering the porosity facilitated
 spectroscopy

 investigation into previously observed changes in cell biology alteration
 in response to porous scaffolds [8]. VRM visualised changed single human
 keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell morphology, providing a complementary technique
 for machine learning classification. Increased technical rigour justified
 progression onto in-situ flow chamber for Raman spectroscopy development
 in Chapter 6, using a Psoriasis (dithranol-HaCaT) model on unfixed cells.
 K-means-directed shading and principal component analysis (PCA) revealed
 HaCaT cell adaptations aligning with previous publications [5] and earlier
 thesis sections. The k-means-directed Raman maps and PCA score plots
 verified the drug-supplying capacity of the flow chamber, justifying
 future investigation into VRM and machine learning for monitoring single
 cells within the flow chamber.

description: In systems of diffusing particles, we investigate large deviations of a time-averaged measure of clustering around one particle. We focus on biased ensembles of trajectories, which realise large-deviation events. The bias acts on a single particle, but elicits a response that spans the whole system. We analyse this effect through the lens of Macroscopic Fluctuation Theory, focussing on the coupling of the bias to hydrodynamic modes. This explains that the dynamical free energy has non-trivial scaling relationships with the system size, in 1 and 2 spatial dimensions. We show that the long-ranged response to a bias on one particle also has consequences when biasing two particles.

description: The 3.1 micron absorption feature of water-ice has been observed spectroscopically in many molecular clouds and, when it has been observed spectropolarimetrically, usually a corre- sponding polarization feature is seen. Typically on these occasions, and particularly for the BN object, a distinct position angle shift between the feature and continuum is seen, which indicates both a fractionation of the icy material and a changing alignment direction along the line of sight. Here the dependence of circular polarimetry on fractionation along the line of sight is investigated and it is shown that the form of its spectrum, together with the sign of the position angle shift, indicates where along the line of sight the icy material lies. More specifically a coincidence between the sign of the position angle displacement in the ice feature, measured north through east, and that of the circular polarization ice feature means that the icy grains are overlaid by bare grains. Some preliminary circular polarimetry of BN has this characteristic and a similar situation is found in the only two other cases for which relevant observations so far exist.

description: This paper discusses indigenous cinema from Siberia and how this media is being used by the Siberian minorities as a means to (re)build their national identity after the collapse of USSR.  It focuses on films from Sakha (Yakutia) Republic and the Republic of Khakassia, both autonomous republics within the Russian Federation, which are experiencing an ethnicity-based cultural revival. It shows that cinema plays a full part in this revitalization process. The article begins with a brief history of Sakha and Khakas feature films, which form the core of the studied corpus. Based on interviews of Khakas and Sakha filmmakers, it analyses why and how film can be considered a good vehicle for identity strengthening. Then, focusing on films themselves, be they amateur or more professional quality productions, if not commissioned by the local government, it examines how those films are rethinking the supranational (Russo-Soviet) narrative, re-imagining geography and trying to reconnect with Sakha and Khakas peoples' own past and traditions. Finally, it highlights the differences between Khakas and Sakha cinema through showing how these “national” film productions can express a strong or a weak feeling of identity.

description: Nanoscale superconductor-semiconductor hybrid devices are assembled from InAs semiconductor nanowires individually contacted by aluminum-based superconductor electrodes. Below 1 K, the high transparency of the contacts gives rise to proximity-induced superconductivity. The nanowires form superconducting weak links operating as mesoscopic Josephson junctions with electrically tunable coupling. The supercurrent can be switched on/off by a gate voltage acting on the electron density in the nanowire. A variation in gate voltage induces universal fluctuations in the normal-state conductance which are clearly correlated to critical current fluctuations. The ac Josephson effect gives rise to Shapiro steps in the voltage-current characteristic under microwave irradiation.

description: We present numerical simulations of the evolution of a supernova (SN) remnant expanding into a uniform background medium with density $n_H = 1.0$ cm$^{-3}$ and temperature of $10^4$ K. We include a dynamically evolving non-equilibrium ionisation (NEI) network (consisting of all the ions of H, He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Fe), frequency dependent radiation transfer (RT), thermal conduction, and a simple dust evolution model, all intra-coupled to each other and to the hydrodynamics. We assume spherical symmetry. Photo-ionisation, radiation losses, photo-heating, charge-exchange heating/cooling and radiation pressure are calculated on-the-fly depending on the local radiation field and ion fractions. We find that the dynamics and energetics (but not the emission spectra) of the SN remnants can be well modelled by collisional equilibrium cooling curves even in the absence of non-equilibrium cooling and radiative transport. We find that the effect of precursor ionising radiation at different stages of SN remnant are dominated by rapid cooling of the shock and differ from steady state shocks. The predicted column densities of different ions such as N II, C IV and N V, can be higher by up to several orders of magnitude compared to steady state shocks. We also present some high esolution emission spectra that can be compared with the observed remnants to obtain important information about the physical and chemical states of the remnant, as well as constrain the background ISM.

An investigation of the experiences and perspectives of immigrant Chinese Canadian mothers of sons with disabilities : parent involvement, coping, and related beliefs and values
Creators: name: Lai-Bovenkerk, Yuan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examined the experiences and perspectives of immigrant Chinese Canadian mothers of children with disabilities in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia in the areas of parental involvement in education and coping with parenting stress. In-depth interviewing, supplemented by questionnaires, was utilised to gather data. Ten women, most of whom were newly immigrated, whose school-age sons had various disabilities and who spoke English as a second language, participated in the study. The mothers' acculturation level to Canadian ways of living was generally low. Devotion to the children was at the heart of parent involvement and coping. Inability to speak English fluently posed a major barrier to the involvement of these women in their children's education. It also restricted their ability to seek community resources. These women valued their children's education and worked with them at home. The degree of the mothers' participation in school was generally less than that of their involvement at home. The women made comparisons of education in Canada and that in the Asian countries where they came from, and stated their preferences for qualities possessed by teachers. The mothers expressed some conflicts with the schools, and they mostly tried to avoid confrontation. Self-reliance, self-control, a belief in family support, as well as a belief in fate helped them to cope. Readily available interpreter services and information in Chinese about service agencies serving children with disabilities and their families would be helpful to Chinese Canadian women like them.

There are no ghettos: Indexing global rap and hip hop in local Finnish youth radio discourse
Creators: name: Muhonenth, Anu
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2014

description: The paper takes a closer look on rap and hip hop identities that are indexed in the discourses, on rap music and hip hop culture in Finnish youth radio and explores the following: What kind of rap and hip hop identities are displayed in these discourses? How are globality and locality indexed in these discourses? Is there something typically “Finnish” in the rap music and hip hop culture presented in the Finnish language youth radio? The paper shows that the Finnish rap scene indexes local identities and represents a local subculture that is both linguistically and culturally “Finnish”, adjusted to local, cultural and linguistic conditions. Finnish rap displays a great diversity of different features that exhibit global, transnational, local and glocal. It indexes a diversity of features connected to contemporary Finnish rap culture; the discourses reveal indexicalities of multiple rap identity constructions and performances. Globality and locality form a complex manifestation of a place. Hip hop presents several layers of modality and the representation highlights the intersection of different aspects of (national and international) languages, styles, (local and global) identities, hip hop culture(s), youth identities, globalization and localization.

The myth of European identity Representation and construction of regional, national and European identities in German, French and international television news broadcasts
Creators: name: Wiehl, Anna
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2014

description: This paper presents an overview of some of the central myths (sensu Roland Barthes) of European identity in its interdependence with national and regional identities. Starting from the premises that television-news perceived as a social practice is still highly influential for how we perceive the world and ›locate‹ ourselves in it, we examine significant examples of TV-news – reaching from regional (Bavaria/Alsace), national (Germany/France) to supra-national public broadcasting stations (arte) on both the macro-level and the micro-level of the programs.

Thereby, we follow a pluri-disciplinary research axis: Combining a semio-historic approach with methodological instruments from the Cultural Studies ›tool-box‹ allows us to understand topical cultural phenomena and their expressions in (mass-)media as socio-culturally embedded imprints of collective memory and imagination.

Covering a wide spectrum of ›news-narratives‹, the analysis focuses on the interdependence of the preservation of heritage, traditional values and the construction of (post-)modern versions of national self-assertiveness (or the lack of it) in a globalized world – and the fact that ›audio-visions‹ of European (cultural) identity are still very elusive.

These findings are taken as a point of departure to consider options for future (social-)TV-programs that can enhance the emergence of persistent ›Europeanness‹ as multifaceted, flexible pluri-identities.

description: Cosmological constraints of Modified Gravity (MG) models are seldom carried out rigorously. First, even though general MG models evolve differently (i.e., background and perturbations) to the standard cosmological model, it is usual to assume a $Λ$CDM background. This treatment is not correct and in the era of precision cosmology could induce undesired biases in cosmological parameters. Second, neutrino mass is usually held fixed in the analyses which could obscure its relation to MG parameters. In a couple of previous papers we showed that by using the Effective Fluid Approach we can accurately compute observables in fairly general MG models. An appealing advantage of our approach is that it allows a pretty easy implementation of this kinds of models in Boltzmann solvers (i.e., less error--prone) while having a useful analytical description of the effective fluid to understand the underlying physics. This paper illustrates how an effective fluid approach can be used to carry out proper analyses of cosmological constraints in MG models. We investigated three MG models including the sum of neutrino masses as a varying parameter in our Markov Chain Monte Carlo analyses. Two models (i.e., Designer $f(R)$ [DES-fR] and Designer Horndeski [HDES]) have a background matching $Λ$CDM, while in a third model (i.e., Hu $\&$ Sawicki $f(R)$ model [HS]) the background differs from the standard model. In this way we estimate how relevant the background is when constraining MG parameters along with neutrinos' masses. We implement the models in the popular Boltzmann solver CLASS and use recent, available data (i.e., Planck 2018, CMB lensing, BAO, SNIa Pantheon compilation, $H_0$ from SHOES, and RSD Gold-18 compilation) to compute tight cosmological constraints in the MG parameters that account for deviation from the $Λ$CDM model.

description: Kontsevich's formality theorem and the consequent star-product formula rely on the construction of an $L_\infty$-morphism between the DGLA of polyvector fields and the DGLA of polydifferential operators. This construction uses a version of graphical calculus. In this article we present the details of this graphical calculus with emphasis on its algebraic features. It is a morphism of differential graded Lie algebras between the Kontsevich DGLA of admissible graphs and the Chevalley-Eilenberg DGLA of linear homomorphisms between polyvector fields and polydifferential operators. Kontsevich's proof of the formality morphism is reexamined in this light and an algebraic framework for discussing the tree-level reduction of Kontsevich's star-product is described.
