description: TRIBE TERRESTRICYPRIDINI (SHORNIKOV, 1980)   (CHANGE OF RANK)
 Diagnosis
Small (L = 0.3–0.4 mm) candonids, with reniform valves in lateral view and narrow carapace with straight margins in dorsal view. All limbs with some aspect of reduced chaetotaxy (fusion of segments, loss of setae) to varying degrees in the different genera. A1 with 5 segments, with various segments fused in the different genera; endopodal segments 1 and 2 + 3 in T3 devoid of setae.
 Remarks
 1. Shornikov (1980) created the new family Terrestricyprididae to accommodate Terrestricypris. However, this genus clearly belongs in the Candonidae, a group where reduction in chaetotaxy (i.e. number of segments, number of setae and claws) is not uncommon (see Danielopol, 1978; Karanovic & Marmonier, 2003; I. Karanovic unpubl. data). This taxon is here retained, albeit with a change of rank, namely as a tribe within the Candoninae.
 2. Terrestricypridini at present comprises 3 genera, Terrestricandona, Terrestricypris and Caaporacandona gen. nov., which together form a clear evolutionary lineage (see Discussion). It is possible that more genera will be found that will represent either more or less derived stages of evolution within this lineages. In the latter case, the diagnosis of the tribe might require modification.
3. Karanovic, in a series of papers (2003a, b and several papers in press), has described an impressive number of species and genera of subterranean Candoninae from Western Australia. These ostracods also display loss of chaetotaxy in, amongst other limbs, the A1. However, the Australian interstitial taxa mostly also have a reduction in the chaetotaxy of the CR, which is well developed in all Terrestricypridini, and have very different valves. It is thus accepted here that the South American terrestrial and Autralian interstitial candonids belong to different lineages.
4. Species of all three genera of Terrestricypridini have a distinct juvenile aspect (small size, narrow calcified inner lamella, reduced number of muscle scars). It is therefore probable that the presence of these genera in the fossil record has consistently been overlooked.

description: The mode structure of a Bose-Einstein condensate non-adiabatically loaded into a one-dimensional optical lattice is studied by analyzing the visibility of the interference pattern as well as the radial profile of the condensate after a time-of-flight. A simple model is proposed that predicts the short-time decrease of the visibility as a function of the condensate parameters. In the radial direction, heavily damped oscillations are observed, as well as an increase in the condensate temperature. These findings are interpreted as a re-thermalization due to dissipation of the initial condensate excitations into high-lying modes.

description: The best constant in the usual Lp norm inequality for the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function on R1 is obtained for the class of all ``peak-shaped'' functions. A positive function on the line is called ``peak-shaped'' if it is positive and convex except at one point. The techniques we use include convexity and an adaptation of the standard Euler-Langrange variational method.

description: Burgeoning fields of nanomedicine and theranostics are propelled forward by the creative and systematic design of synthetic polymers. Cationic polyelectrolytes, comprising covalently-linked cations within each repeat unit, have drawn particular interest for their ability to bind nucleic acids and permeate cell membranes. Expanding the design space of these systems, we introduced a new family of polyelectrolytes based on the carbon-centered cyclopropenium cation. Cyclopropenium is a modular, aromatic building block with unique structural and electronic properties and, when coupled with modern living polymerization techniques, can be incorporated into macromolecules with precise size, shape, and composition. This thesis describes the translation of cationic polyelectrolytes based on cyclopropenium to biomedical applications and is structured into three parts. The first part evaluates cyclopropenium polymers as candidate non- viral vectors for gene therapy and demonstrates that some derivatives are both biocompatible and efficacious transfection agents. In the second part, nanoparticles comprising cyclopropenium are exploited as live-cell image contrast agents and evolved into potentially theranostic tools. The final part describes a facile route to a novel class of cyclopropenium-based polymers. Together, this thesis illustrates that cyclopropenium is a versatile component of polyelectrolytes, poised to address leading biological challenges.
$TeV$-Scale Resonant Leptogenesis with New Scaling Ansatz on Neutrino Dirac Mass Matrix from $A_4$ Flavor Symmetry

description: We propose a new scaling ansatz in the neutrino Dirac mass matrix to explain the low energy neutrino oscillations data, baryon number asymmetry and neutrinoless double beta decay. In this work, a full reconstruction of the neutrino Dirac mass matrix has been realized from the low energy neutrino oscillations data based on type-I seesaw mechanism. A concrete model based on $A_4$ flavor symmetry has been considered to generate such a neutrino Dirac mass matrix and imposes a relation between the two scaling factors. In this model, the right-handed Heavy Majorana neutrino masses are quasi-degenerate at TeV mass scales. Extensive numerical analysis studies have been carried out to constrain the parameter space of the model from the low energy neutrino oscillations data. It has been found that the parameter space of the Dirac mass matrix elements lies near or below the MeV region and the scaling factor $|κ_1|$ has to be less than 10. Furthermore, we have examined the possibility for simultaneous explanation of both neutrino oscillations data and the observed baryon number asymmetry in the Universe. Such an analysis gives further restrictions on the parameter space of the model, thereby explaining the correct neutrino data as well as the baryon number asymmetry via a resonant leptogenesis scenario. Finally, we show that the allowed space for the effective Majorana neutrino mass $m_{ee}$ is also constrained in order to account for the observed baryon asymmetry.

description: A local formula for the dimension of a superselection sector in Quantum Field Theory is obtained as vacuum expectation value of the exponential of the proper Hamiltonian. In the particular case of a chiral conformal theory, this provides a local analogue of a global formula obtained by Kac and Wakimoto within the context of representations of certain affine Lie algebras. Our formula is model independent and its version in general Quantum Field Theory applies to black hole thermodynamics. The relative free energy between two thermal equilibrium states associated with a black hole turns out to be proportional to the variation of the conditional entropy in different superselection sectors, where the conditional entropy is defined as the Connes-Stoermer entropy associated with the DHR localized endomorphism representing the sector. The constant of proportionality is half of the Hawking temperature. As a consequence the relative free energy is quantized proportionally to the logarithm of a rational number, in particular it is equal to a linear function the logarithm of an integer once the initial state or the final state is taken fixed.

description: Established patients of an outpatient neurology clinic who request same-day evaluations for headache exacerbations may be debilitated from attending an in-person appointment. Current evidence from a literature review showed that telemedicine is a feasible solution for patients to gain same-day access to their neurology providers and reduce the burden of physically attending medical appointments. This project developed a guideline to assess patient readiness for telemedicine. Additionally, the project also produced a telemedicine appointment algorithm and patient education material that headache-sufferers can use to determine what symptoms can be managed independently, addressed with telemedicine, or required immediate emergency care.

description: Pose invariance is a key ability for face recognition to achieve its advantages of being non-intrusive over other biometric techniques requiring cooperative subjects such as fingerprint recognition and iris recognition. Due to the complex 3D structures and various surface reflectivities of human faces, however, pose variations bring serious challenges to current face recognition systems. The image variations of human faces under 3D transformations are larger than that existing face recognition can tolerate. This research attempts to achieve pose-invariant face recognition through 3D reconstructions, which inversely estimates 3D shape and texture information of human faces from 2D face images. This extracted information is intrinsic features useful for face recognition which is invariable to pose changes. The proposed framework reconstructs personalised 3D face models from images of known people in a database (or gallery views) and generates virtual views in possible poses for face recognition algorithms to match the captured image (or probe view). In particular, three different scenarios of gallery views have been scrutinised: 1) when multiple face images from a fixed viewpoint under different illumination conditions are used as gallery views; 2) when a police mug shot consisting of a frontal view and a side view per person is available as gallery views; and 3) when a single frontal face image per person is used as gallery view. These three scenarios provide the system different amount of information and cover a wide range of situations which a face recognition system will encounter. Three novel 3D reconstruction approaches have then been proposed according to these three scenarios, which are 1) Heterogeneous Specular and Diffuse (HSD) face modelling, 2) Multilevel Quadratic Variation Minimisation (MQVM), and 3) Automatic Facial Texture Synthesis (AFTS), respectively. Experimental results show that these three proposed approaches can effectively improve the performance of face recognition across pose...

description: Random scale-free networks have the peculiar property of being prone to the spreading of infections. Here we provide an exact result showing that a scale-free connectivity distribution with diverging second moment is a sufficient condition to have null epidemic threshold in unstructured networks with either assortative or dissortative mixing. Connectivity correlations result therefore ininfluential for the epidemic spreading picture in these scale-free networks. The present result is related to the divergence of the average nearest neighbors connectivity, enforced by the connectivity detailed balance condition.

Note on Pairwise Negative Dependence of Randomized Rank-1 Lattices

description: In her recent paper [Negative dependence, scrambled nets, and variance bounds. Math. Oper. Res. 43 (2018), 228-251] Christiane Lemieux studied a framework to analyze the dependence structure of sampling schemes. The main goal of the framework is to determine conditions under which the negative dependence structure of a sampling scheme yields estimators with reduced variance compared to Monte Carlo estimators. For instance, she was able to show that in dimension d = 2 scrambled (0,m, d)-nets lead to randomized quasi-Monte Carlo estimators with variance no larger than the variance of Monte Carlo estimators for functions monotone in each variable. Her result relies on a pairwise negative dependence property that is, in particular, satisfied by (0,m, 2)-nets. In this note we establish that the same result holds true in arbitrary dimension d for a type of randomized lattice point sets that we call randomly shifted and jittered rank-1 lattices. We show that the details of the randomization are crucial and that already small modifications may destroy the pairwise negative dependence property.

description: Plaquette lattices with each unit cell containing multiple atoms are good candidates for disconnected Fermi surfaces, which are shown by Kuroki and Arita to be favorable for spin-flucutation mediated superconductivity from electron repulsion. Here we find an interesting example in a tetramer lattice where the structure within each unit cell dominates the nodal structure of the gap function. We trace its reason to the way in which a Cooper pair is formed across the hybridized molecular orbitals, where we still end up with a T_c much higher than usual.

description: Research on Europeanization and domestic change has moved south-eastwards and was provided with another real-world experiment when it has meet with Turkey. This paper explores to what extent Europeanization approaches travel to Turkey, which does have a membership perspective that looks, however, ever less credible. The first part outlines the main findings of research on 'External Europeanization' focusing on factors that have limited or at least qualified the domestic impact of the EU in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) and Western Balkan (WB) accession countries. The paper, then, discusses to what extent Europeanization approaches need further qualification when applied to Turkey, which squares on democracy with the Western Balkans (with the exception of Croatia), but whose statehood is less limited. We argue that existing Europeanization approaches, largely, account for the overall moderate degree of Europeanization in Turkey. Yet, selective and differential domestic changes are mostly related to the extent to which EU conditionality helps domestic actors gain or hold political power and push their own political agenda. The paper concludes by summarizing the major implications Turkey's accession to the EU has for Europeanization approaches and discussing why Turkey is not a case sui generis.

description: Decoherence of a quantum system arising from its interaction with an environment is a key concept for understanding the transition between the quantum and classical world as well as performance limitations in quantum technology applications. The effects of large, weakly coupled environments are often described as a classical, fluctuating field whose dynamics is unaffected by the qubit, whereas a fully quantum description still implies some back-action from the qubit on the environment. Here we show direct experimental evidence for such a back-action for an electron-spin-qubit in a GaAs quantum dot coupled to a mesoscopic environment of order $10^6$ nuclear spins. By means of a correlation measurement technique, we detect the back-action of a single qubit-environment interaction whose duration is comparable to the qubit's coherence time, even in such a large system. We repeatedly let the qubit interact with the spin bath and measure its state. Between such cycles, the qubit is reinitialized to different states. The correlations of the measurement outcomes are strongly affected by the intermediate qubit state, which reveals the action of a single electron spin on the nuclear spins.

description: Seit den 1990er-Jahren wird regelmäßig eine Wasserkrise in Metro Manila ausgerufen. Dieses Narrativ diente als Grund für weitrechende Privatisierungsmaßnahmen der Wasserinfrastruktur und als Argument für die Planung gigantischer Staudammprojekte. Um den stetig steigenden Wasserbedarf Manilas zu decken und der Drohkulisse der Wasserknappheit entgegenzutreten, greift die Wasserinfrastruktur zunehmend in den ruralen Raum der Sierra Madre Mountains ein, in denen die indigene Gemeinschaft der Dumagat-Remontado leben, die vehement gegen jegliche Entwicklungsprojekte in ihrem Gebiet wehren. Von diesem hydrosozialen Konflikt ausgehend, fokussiert diese Masterarbeit mit Ansätzen der Environmental Justice Studies die Herausforderungen einer gerechten Wasserverteilung auf der Insel Luzon in Zeiten des Anthropozäns. Sie fragt, welche Ursachen abseits von Dürren und Trockenperioden für Wasserknappheit zu finden sind und kontextualisiert die diskursiven Effekte des Klimawandels und des Neoliberalismus auf die Menschenrechte.
description: Since the 1990s, a water crisis has been frequently declared in Metro Manila. This narrative has served as a reason for the privatization of the water infrastructure and as an argument for the planning of massive dam projects. In order to meet Manila's ever-increasing demand for water and to counter the threat of water scarcity, the wa-ter infrastructure is increasingly encroaching on the rural areas of the Sierra Madre Mountains, where the indigenous Dumagat-Remontado live, who fiercely oppose any development projects in their area. Based on this hydrosocial conflict, this master's thesis uses approaches from Envi-ronmental Justice Studies to focus on the challenges of equitable water distribution on the island of Luzon in the Anthropocene era. It asks what causes of water scarcity can be found beyond droughts and dry spells and contextualizes the discursive ef-fects of climate change and neoliberalism on human rights.

description: Melioidosis is the serious and often fatal systemic disease of humans and animals resulting from infection from Burkholderia pseudomallei. B. pseudomallei is a Gram-negative bacillus that inhabits the soil and stagnant water of tropical and sub-tropical countries. Infection usually occurs through inhalation or inoculation though ingestion is a common route for animal infections. The disease can occur in almost any organ and symptoms are non-specific leading to common misdiagnosis. B. pseudomallei has increased prevalence for infection in immunocompromised and diabetic patients. Due to the soil dwelling nature of B. pseudomallei this bacteria has a high level of antibiotic resistance. Treatment is often difficult and prolonged, though modern medical treatment has reduced mortality to around 40%. Recent studies have revealed that B. pseudomallei contains numerous virulence mechanisms including bacterial protein secretion systems, lipopolysaccharides, and quorum sensing mechanisms. These systems allow the bacteria to survive and perpetuate especially in host macrophages. It is this interaction and the responses of the host that remain to be elucidated. Many studies have described activation of host signalling pathways or proteins during infection. Often B. pseudomallei mutants are produced to establish the affect these altered bacteria have on the host pathways. This study attempted to examine intact virulence mechanisms by utilising drug and small peptide inhibitors of the host pathways to examine the effect that these have on the invading bacteria. Furthermore, it set out to investigate the processes involved in B. pseudomallei-host interactions. It examined the MAPK, NFAT and NF-B signalling pathways activated in infected macrophages. Further, the resultant chemokine expression and receptor activation on these infected cells was established.

description: Survey data tends to be biased toward the middle class. Often it fails to adequately cover the highly relevant group of multi-millionaires and billionaires, which in turn results in biased estimates for aggregate wealth and top wealth shares. In order to overcome the under coverage and obtain more reliable measurements of wealth inequality, researchers are simulating the top tail of wealth distributions using Pareto distributions both with and without information on high-net-worth-individuals from rich lists. In a series of Monte Carlo experiments, this study analyzes what assumptions need to be fulfilled in order for such an exercise to yield reliable results. If survey weights are uninformed about the relationship between non-response and wealth, as is to be expected empirically, the former case will underestimate top wealth shares and the latter may overestimate it, while both methods yield estimates of aggregate wealth that are still inherently biased downwards. In an application using German survey wealth data, it is shown that re-weighting the provided frequency weights based on exogenous information possibly affects the estimates more severely than choosing the right parameters of the Pareto distribution. However, empirically the three separate assumptions on the non- response yield wildly different estimates.The validity of exogenous dataâand the rich list dataâremains a matter of trust on the part of the empiricist.

description: Superradiant clouds may develop around a rotating black hole, if there is a bosonic field with Compton wavelength comparable to the size of the black hole. In this paper, we investigate the effects of the cloud on the orbits of nearby compact objects. In particular, we consider the dynamical friction and the backreaction due to level mixing. Under these interactions, the probability of a black hole dynamically capturing other compact objects, such as stellar mass black holes and neutron stars, is generally enhanced with the presence of the cloud. For extreme mass ratio inspirals and binary stellar mass binary black holes, the cloud-induced orbital modulation may be detected by observing the gravitational waveform using space borne gravitational wave detectors, such as LISA. Interestingly within certain range of boson Compton wavelength, the enhanced capture rate of stellar mass black holes could accelerate hierarchical mergers, with higher-generation merger product being more massive than the mass threshold predicted by supernova pair instability. These observational signatures provide promising ways of searching light bosons with gravitational waves.

description: The topology of non-Hermitian systems is drastically shaped by the non-Hermitian skin effect, which leads to the generalized bulk-boundary correspondence and non-Bloch band theory. The essential part in formulations of bulk-boundary correspondence is a general and computable definition of topological invariants. In this paper, we introduce a construction of non-Hermitian topological invariants based directly on real-space wavefunctions, which provides a general and straightforward approach for determining non-Hermitian topology. As an illustration, we apply this formulation to several representative models of non-Hermitian systems, efficiently obtaining their topological invariants in the presence of non-Hermitian skin effect. Our formulation also provides a dual picture of the non-Bloch band theory based on the generalized Brillouin zone, offering a unique perspective of bulk-boundary correspondence.

description: In a recent paper, Ohta and Townsend studied the conditions which must be satisfied for a configuration of two intersecting M5-branes at angles to be supersymmetric. In this paper we extend this result to any number of M5-branes or any number of M2-branes. This is accomplished by interpreting their results in terms of calibrated geometry, which is of independent interest.

description: Ectoine plays an important role in protecting biomolecules and entire cells against environmental stressors such as salinity, freezing, drying and high temperatures. Recent studies revealed that ectoine also provides effective protection for human skin cells from damage caused by UV-A radiation. These protective properties make ectoine a valuable compound and it is applied as an active ingredient in numerous pharmaceutical devices and cosmetics. Interestingly, the underlying mechanism resulting in protecting cells from radiation is not yet fully understood. Here we present a study on ectoine and its protective influence on DNA during electron irradiation. Applying gel electrophoresis and atomic force microscopy, we demonstrate for the first time that ectoine prevents DNA strand breaks caused by ionizing electron radiation. The results presented here point to future applications of ectoine for instance in cancer radiation therapy.

description: In a society consumed by ever-increasing media and technology, it is more important now than ever that public schools provide their students with the skills and tools necessary to analyze, interpret, deconstruct, and construct popular media images and messages. Consequently, it is the role of educators to engage with popular media in the classroom, not simply for the sake of student motivation, but for the purpose of supporting students in meaningful literacy practices. This study analyzes classroom dialogue and students’ written responses throughout a semester-long English elective course entitled, “Hip Hop Literature and Culture,” in a public high school in New York. This course was designed as a means to engage students in critical media literacy (CML) practices. Through this qualitative case study, the researcher sought to better understand how students are understanding and responding to the popular media that surrounds them, and how academic engagement with such media within a class context impacts their understandings of self, youth culture, popular culture and the social structures that ultimately impact their lives.

Broadcasting Exclusion: The Representation of “Illegal Housing” in Rockland County, NY

description: This is a qualitative study of how planning, instrumentalized by an established and politically active constituent body, contributes to the exclusion of certain marginalized populations. It examines the mechanisms through which this takes place by examining the practice of unpermitted subdivision of single-family homes, debates concerning its enforcement, and discussion of possible avenues toward its legalization in Rockland County, NY.  Local planning and code enforcement officials participated in semi-structured interviews regarding official responses to illegal housing and its relationship to public opinion in their jurisdictions. Complaints collected through a countywide code enforcement initiative were also analyzed to gauge the social and spatial dimensions of anti-illegal-housing sentiment. Other media including newspaper articles, records of public forums, and recently completed comprehensive plans were used to analyze the evolution of public opinion and how it was communicated to and received by local planners. The study uses a communicative planning theory approach in examining planning's relationship to public opinion, how it is measured and interpreted, as well as what sources of information and constituent groups are left out of the process, exposing opportunities for planners to better understand and negotiate conflict in suburban areas experiencing rapid demographic change.
Quantum Entanglement as a Diagnostic of Phase Transitions in Disordered Fractional Quantum Hall Liquids
Creators: name: Liu, Zhao
name: Bhatt, R. N.
Publisher: name: Freie Universität Berlin
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: 500 Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik::530 Physik

description: We investigate the disorder-driven phase transition from a fractional quantum Hall state to an Anderson insulator using quantum entanglement methods. We find that the transition is signaled by a sharp increase in the sensitivity of a suitably averaged entanglement entropy with respect to disorder—the magnitude of its disorder derivative appears to diverge in the thermodynamic limit. We also study the level statistics of the entanglement spectrum as a function of disorder. However, unlike the dramatic phase-transition signal in the entanglement entropy derivative, we find a gradual reduction of level repulsion only deep in the Anderson insulating phase.

description: We use Cox's description for sheaves on toric varieties and results about the local cohomology with respect to monomial ideals to give a characteristic free approach to vanishing results on arbitrary toric varieties. As an application, we give a proof of a strong form of Fujita's conjecture in the case of toric varieties. We also prove that every sheaf on a toric variety corresponds to a module over the homogeneous coordinate ring, generalizing Cox's result for the simplicial case.

description: Stimulated by the new discovery of $P_{c}(4312)^{+}$ by LHCb Collaboration, we endeavor to perform the study of $P_{c}(4312)^{+}$ as a $Σ_{c}\bar{D}$ state in the framework of QCD sum rules. Taking into account the results from two sum rules, a conservative mass range $4.07\sim4.97~\mbox{GeV}$ is presented for the $Σ_{c}\bar{D}$ hadronic system, which agrees with the experimental data of $P_{c}(4312)^{+}$ and could support its interpretation as a $Σ_{c}\bar{D}$ state.

description: The endeavour to ‘redesign’ life at the molecular level has been widely characterised as controversial. Subsequently, agricultural biotechnology has rarely been out of the news in Australia and elsewhere throughout the last few decades during its development. Proponents are certain of the benefits, while critics are equally certain of the costs or hazards. Such polarisation is especially intense with regard to the introduction of genetically modified (GM) food crops. This thesis presents the findings from a survey of Australian canola farmers and their perspectives on the widescale introduction and regulation of GM food crops in Australia in relation to scientific, social, environmental and commercial risk and uncertainty. It also draws upon an analysis of GM regulation in Australia to determine how farmers have been involved in GM technology policy making...

Towards a Nonperturbative Path Integral in Gauge Theories

description: We propose a modification of the Faddeev-Popov procedure to construct a path integral representation for the transition amplitude and the partition function for gauge theories whose orbit space has a non-Euclidean geometry. Our approach is based on the Kato-Trotter product formula modified appropriately to incorporate the gauge invariance condition, and thereby equivalence to the Dirac operator formalism is guaranteed by construction. The modified path integral provides a solution to the Gribov obstruction as well as to the operator ordering problem when the orbit space has curvature. A few explicit examples are given to illustrate new features of the formalism developed. The method is applied to the Kogut-Susskind lattice gauge theory to develop a nonperturbative functional integral for a quantum Yang-Mills theory. Feynman's conjecture about a relation between the mass gap and the orbit space geometry in gluodynamics is discussed in the framework of the modified path integral.
