title: Motor-driven autonomous system for controlling beamline iris diaphragm apertures
Creators: name: Pinheiro Leal, Daniel
name: Krämer, Jörg

Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2021

description: At the collinear apparatus for laser spectroscopy and applied sciences (COALA) at TU Darmstadt, collinear laser spectroscopy is applied to perform high-precision measurements of atomic transition frequencies and high voltages in an ultra-high vacuum beamline. In such laser spectroscopy beamlines, iris diaphragms are used to reduce ion beam divergence, and to ensure a good laser and ion beam overlap. Since the system that controls the diameter of the apertures presents strong hysteresis, an automated adjustment is desirable to enhance reproducibility in the aperture settings, and to reduce the effort in performing measurements where different diameters are required, especially in alternating collinear and anti-collinear measurements. To achieve this, the Iris Mover system was designed and implemented. The Iris Mover system consists of motor-driven iris apertures which can be easily controlled by users through a computer, and which accounts for hysteresis effects. Here, we explain the design process of the Iris Mover and demonstrate and discuss its functionality.

description: In the current globalized scenario the future of a country depends on its human resources. Women, being half of the population of our country, have tremendous potential to lead the socio-economic development of the nation. The socio-economic empowerment of women not only ensures the development of her family but also it contributes to the development of the nation. An entrepreneur not only becomes self dependent financially but also creates job opportunities and adds value to the nation. For centuries the potential and entrepreneurial skills of Indian women has been suppressed due to various cultural, social and political reasons. Although a large number of women entrepreneurs come up in the last two decades but they are facing many difficulties due to the social, cultural and economic hurdles. On the other hand, aspiring women entrepreneurs face lack of social, economic and motivational support from the family and society. Present paper emphasizes on a variety of socio-economic and motivational factors that affect women entrepreneurs positively and negatively in current scenario. For the purpose of finding out the current picture and suggestive measures for women entrepreneurs, a self constructed questionnaire has been used. The questionnaire was administered to 200 women (Actual and potential) entrepreneurs in Delhi and NCR region. For the analysis of responses collected from the respondents, weighted average method has been used and conclusions are drawn. The paper concludes the most affecting problems and the probable solutions to provide a conducive environment to nurture women entrepreneurship.
Emeritus lecture given at Aalborg University on October 31, 2003 - Oldspeak/Newspeak of (Neo)Liberalism on Development
Creators: name: Hersh, Jacques
Publisher: name: The Interdisciplinary Journal of International Studies
Year: 2013

description: In the present context of world affairs, there are good reasons to be sceptical of the way events and conflicts are explained and presented by politicians, their spindoctors and the media. It would not be surprising if future generations look upon our era as “the age of newspeak” or doublespeak: half-truths and lies being used to justify policies and actions which are in opposition to established norms of morality and decency grounded in the dominant democratic ideology. This article, based on the author’s Emeritus lecture, presents the impasse in development studies and argues for the inclusion of an international perspective as an alternative out of the stalemate.

description: Abstract: "Mixed logical/linear programming (MLLP) is an extension of mixed integer/linear programming (MLLP). It represents the discrete elements of a problem with logical propositions and provides a more natural modeling framework than MILP. It can also have computational advantages, partly because it eliminates integer variables when they serve no purpose, provides alternatives to the traditional continuous relaxation, and applies logic processing algorithms. This paper surveys previous work and attempts to organize ideas associated with MLLP, some old and some new, into a coherent framework. It articulates potential advantages and disadvantages of MLLP and illustrates some of them with computational experiments."

description: The photoproduction of Drell-Yan lepton pairs at HERA is studied. We show that in the backward rapidity region the cross section is strongly sensitive to the small-$x$ behaviour of the quark distributions in the proton, and that with sufficient luminosity it should be possible to distinguish singular $xq \sim x^{-1/2}$ behaviour from standard Regge $xq \sim x^0$ behaviour. The effect on the event rate of experimental acceptance cuts is studied with the help of a Monte Carlo event generator.

description: A significant fraction of superfluid helium nanodroplets produced in a free-jet expansion have been observed to gain high angular momentum resulting in large centrifugal deformation. We measured single-shot diffraction patterns of individual rotating helium nanodroplets up to large scattering angles using intense extreme ultraviolet light pulses from the FERMI free-electron laser. Distinct asymmetric features in the wide-angle diffraction patterns enable the unique and systematic identification of the three-dimensional droplet shapes. The analysis of a large dataset allows us to follow the evolution from axisymmetric oblate to triaxial prolate and two-lobed droplets. We find that the shapes of spinning superfluid helium droplets exhibit the same stages as classical rotating droplets while the previously reported metastable, oblate shapes of quantum droplets are not observed. Our three-dimensional analysis represents a valuable landmark for clarifying the interrelation between morphology and superfluidity on the nanometer scale.
International Regimes for the Protection of Human Rights: Analytical Implications of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights
Creators: name: Bojkov, Victor D.
Publisher: name: The Interdisciplinary Journal of International Studies
Year: 2013

description: This article taps into the experience of creating regional human rights regimes in three different regions in order to extract certain commonalities that help create an analytical framework that is valid across the board. It then positions the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights into the so-constructed framework in order to examine the extent to which the two are compatible with each other. While the Charter clearly lends itself to analysis through reference to the framework’s four main dimensions – historical context, regional ethics, strong commitment to implementation and jus commune – it also introduces two additional ones. These stem from the particular context within which the Charter was created and are related to its purpose of legitimising the EU integration project and giving it a written constitutional form. Although the Charter presents itself as a peculiar case among the analysed regional human rights regimes, the article argues that on the most fundamental level its kinship with the family of international human rights instruments is uncontested.

description: We revisit the proposed extended Schmidt law (Shi et al. 2011) which points that the star formation efficiency in galaxies depends on the stellar mass surface density, by investigating spatially-resolved star formation rates (SFRs), gas masses and stellar masses of star formation regions in a vast range of galactic environments, from the outer disks of dwarf galaxies to spiral disks and to merging galaxies as well as individual molecular clouds in M33. We find that these regions are distributed in a tight power-law as Sigma_SFR ~(Sigma_star^0.5 Sigma_gas )^1.09, which is also valid for the integrated measurements of disk and merging galaxies at high-z. Interestingly, we show that star formation regions in the outer disks of dwarf galaxies with Sigma_SFR down to 10^(-5) Msun/yr/kpc^2, which are outliers of both Kennicutt-Schmidt and Silk-Elmegreen law, also follow the extended Schmidt law. Other outliers in the Kennicutt-Schmidt law, such as extremely-metal poor star-formation regions, also show significantly reduced deviations from the extended Schmidt law. These results suggest an important role for existing stars in helping to regulate star formation through the effect of their gravity on the mid-plane pressure in a wide range of galactic environments.

description: Reconstruction of phylogenetic trees is a fundamental problem in computational biology. While excellent heuristic methods are available for many variants of this problem, new advances in phylogeny inference will be required if we are to be able to continue making effective use of the rapidly growing stores of variation data now being gathered. In this paper, we present two integer linear programming (ILP) formulations for finding the most parsimonious phylogenetic tree from a set of binary variation data. One method uses a flow-based formulation that can produce exponential numbers of variables and constraints in the worst case. The method has, however, proven to be extremely efficient in practice on data sets that are well beyond the reach of the available provably efficient methods, solving several large mtDNA and Y-chromosome instances within a few seconds and giving provably optimal results in times competitive with fast heuristics that cannot guarantee optimality. An alternative formulation establishes that the problem can be solved with a polynomial-sized ILP. We further present a Web server that was developed based on the exponential-sized ILP that performs fast maximum parsimony inferences and serves as a front end to a database of precomputed phylogenies spanning the human genome.
Power Structures in Water Regime Formation: A Comparison of the Jordan and Euphrates Tigris River Basins

Year: 2013

description: This article is a comparative analysis of the effects of power structures on the success and/or failure of the water regimes in the Jordan River Basin and Euphrates Tigris River Basin. In order to see the differences and/or similarities between the two river basins, both of which are located in the same geographical region, regime theory is taken as the theoretical framework. The article contributes to the research on water in the Middle East in two ways: first, it analyses the role of domestic powers as well as global and regional powers on regime outcome; and second, it provides a basis for understanding why the riparians have chosen cooperative strategies in the Jordan Basin while in the Euphrates Tigris region temporary resolutions have been chosen.

description: The complementing strengths of Constraint (Logic) Programming (CLP) and Mixed Integer Programming (IP) have recently received significant attention. Although various optimization and constraint programming packages at a first glance seem to support mixed models, the modeling and solution techniques encapsulated are still rudimentary. Apart from exchanging bounds for variables and objective, little is known of what constitutes a good hybrid model and how a hybrid solver can utilize the complementary strengths of inference and relaxations. This paper adds to the field by identifying constraints as the essential link between CLP and IP and introduces an algorithm for bidirectional inference through these constraints. Together with new search strategies for hybrid solvers and cut-generating mixed global constraints, solution speed is improved over both traditional IP codes and newer mixed solvers.

description: Using an ex-ante, policymaker perspective, this study focuses upon a proposal for a new university (automotive) research institute (URI) – the University of Bath’s Institute for Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (IAAPS) – and its role in the conception of a new industrial cluster. Analysing unique survey data, we identify the key characteristics of the firms most likely to observe future potential benefits from the presence of this proposed public anchor (1) in isolation and (2) when the proposed public anchor is established with a research-based relationship with a co-located private anchor. We find the presence of a private anchor amplifies the attractiveness of the public anchor, heightening the likelihood of a cluster emerging. We discuss implications for policy.

description: Liu procedure is applied to a first order weakly nonlocal special relativistic fluid. It is shown, that a reasonable relativistic theory is and extended one, where the basic state space contains the momentum density. This property follows from the structure of the energy-momentum balance and the Second Law of thermodynamics. Moreover, the entropy depends on the energy density and the momentum density on a given specific way, indicating that the local rest frame energy density cannot be interpreted as the internal energy, the local rest frame momentum density should be considered, too. The corresponding constitutive relations for the stress and the energy flux are derived.

description: Government contracting is crucial for defining the quality of government and public services because it amounts to about 29% of government spending. However, regional quality of government indicators, especially for public spending, are largely missing. We assess the quality of public spending by transparency, competition, efficiency and corruption using a novel database of 4 million contracts from the EU-28 between 2006 and 2015. We find that public spending quality is associated with gross domestic product (GDP)/capita, the European quality of government index (EQI) and public sector meritocracy. We confirm large within-country regional variations, but also find considerable change over time: the steady deterioration of performance in old European Union member states.
What Is the Age Field Theory? — Explaining the Sovanarith Thesis in Plain English

description: This outreach FAQ introduces the Age Field Theory (also known as the Sovanarith Thesis) in simple, accessible language for non-physicists. It outlines the core idea that all matter and energy evolve according to a scalar field representing ontological age — a concept distinct from time — and proposes that this field governs the behavior of particles, life, and even the expansion of the universe. The document answers common questions, provides analogies, and highlights testable predictions that emerge from this unified PDE-based theory.

description: In recent decades, environmentalism has gained strength and importance in various arenas. The introduction of sustainable development brought the environment into mainstream development and economic thought. However, there continues to be environmental degradation around the world and poor and marginalised communities often bear the brunt of environmentally harmful production processes. A concurrent movement of environmentalism is that of environmental justice, which has been utilised and strengthened by locally-based environmental movements in the Third World. This article uses a political ecology perspective to examine the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) in Nigeria and highlights the broad range of issues involved in Third World environmental problems. The relevance of the environmental justice movement as a critique of sustainable development and the direction of the global environmental movement are explored through this case study.

description: The number of electrons in small metallic or semiconducting islands is quantized. When tunnelling is enabled via opaque barriers this number can change by an integer. In superconductors the addition is in units of two electron charges (2e), reflecting that the Cooper pair condensate must have an even parity. This ground state (GS) is foundational for all superconducting qubit devices. Here, we study a hybrid superconducting-semiconducting island and find three typical GS evolutions in a parallel magnetic field: a robust 2e-periodic even-parity GS, a transition to a 2e-periodic odd-parity GS,and a transition from a 2e- to a 1e-periodic GS. The 2e-periodic odd-parity GS persistent in gate-voltage occurs when a spin-resolved subgap state crosses zero energy. For our 1e-periodic GSs we explicitly show the origin being a single zero-energy state gapped from the continuum, i.e. compatible with an Andreev bound states stabilized at zero energy or the presence of Majorana zero modes.
Region Building and Identity Formation in the Baltic Sea Region
Creators: name: Schäfer, Imke
Publisher: name: The Interdisciplinary Journal of International Studies
Year: 2013

description: This paper examines the concept of “new region building” in the Baltic Sea region with emphasis on the construction of a collective “Baltic” identity. Possible implications of these processes on Russia as a non-EU member state are discussed. Region building around the Baltic Sea is conceptualised within the framework of social constructivism, and a connection between region building and identity formation is established. Furthermore, an attempt is made to shed light on the way in which a “Baltic identity” is promoted in the region. By means of a short discourse analysis, certain characteristics of the Baltic Sea region are discovered that are promoted as the basis for a regional identity by various regional actors. The impact of these characteristics on relations between Russia, the EU and the other Baltic Sea states are examined and conclusions are drawn in relation to the region building processes in the Baltic Sea area.

description: We consider sums of eigenvalues zj of Schrodinger operators −Δ + V on L2(Rd) with complex radial potentials V ∈ Lq(Rd), q < d. We prove quantitative bounds on the distribution of (zj) in terms of the Lq norm of V . A consequence of our bounds is that if (zj) accumulates to a point in (0,∞) then (Im zj) is summable. The key technical tools are resolvent estimates in Schatten spaces, which follow from spectral measure estimates by an epsilon removal argument. We also derive bounds on the number of eigenvalues of Schrodinger operators with complex-valued step potentials in one dimension. An investigation of higher-dimensional analogues leads us to a generalisation of a result on the number of resonances of complex step potentials on non-physical sheets. Finally, we present results on asymptotic formulae for eigenvalues of truncated potentials. Our modifications to the procedure outlined by Dyatlov and Zworski allow us to treat several new examples. We derive explicit formulae for eigenvalues of the truncated complex harmonic oscillator, which shows that Zworksi’s bound on the resonance counting function for compactly-supported potentials can be saturated by eigenvalues. An analogous treatment of the Poschl-Teller potential allows us to show that the local bound of Abramov et al. for d = 1 is sharp for compactly-supported potentials.

description: Although public clouds still occupy the largest portion of the total cloud infrastructure, private clouds are attracting increasing interest from both industry and academia because of their better security and privacy control. According to the existing studies, the high upfront cost is among the most critical challenges associated with private clouds. To reduce cost and improve performance, virtual machine placement (VMP) methods have been extensively investigated, however, few of these methods have focused on private clouds. This paper proposes a heterogeneous and multidimensional clairvoyant dynamic bin packing (CDBP) model, in which the scheduler can conduct more efficient VMP processes using additional information on the arrival time and duration of virtual machines to reduce the datacenter scale and thereby decrease the upfront cost of private clouds. In addition, a novel branch-and-bound algorithm with a divide-and-conquer strategy (DCBB) is proposed to effectively and efficiently handle the derived problem. One state-of-the-art and several classic VMP methods are also modified to adapt to the proposed model to observe their performance and compare with our proposed algorithm. Extensive experiments are conducted on both real-world and synthetic workloads to evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of the algorithms. The experimental results demonstrate that DCBB delivers near-optimal solutions with a convergence rate that is much faster than those of the other search-based algorithms evaluated. In particular, DCBB yields the optimal solution for a real-world workload with an execution time that is an order of magnitude shorter than that required by the original branch-and-bound (BB) algorithm.

The Domestic Use of European Policies: European Regional Policies in Eastern Germany and Southern Italy
Creators: name: Baudner, Joerg
Publisher: name: The Interdisciplinary Journal of International Studies
Year: 2013

description: Although network governance and multi-level governance approaches have had to revise some of their claims, comparative empirical research and revised conceptualisations of the impact of European regional policies are rare. This paper conceives of European regional policy as a process of policy diffusion in which the supply side of (European) policies and the demand side of the domestic arena can be linked in different ways. The paper will present, firstly, an analysis of the opportunity structures European regional policies provide for domestic actors; and, secondly, a typology of different domestic constellations which lead to a different use of European policies. The empirical cases of eastern Germany and southern Italy, two of the most important underdeveloped areas in western Europe, demonstrate that the use of European policies for the empowerment of the regions and for a transformation of policies and polity are two of the possible results of the impact of European regional policy, but they are bound to very specific domestic preconditions.

description: Recently, several multi-loop conjectures have been proposed for the spin dependence of anomalous dimensions of twist-2 and 3 operators in the sl(2) sector of N=4 SYM. Currently, these conjectures are not proven, although several consistency checks have been performed on their large spin expansion. In this paper, we show how these expansions can be efficiently computed without resorting to any conjecture. To this aim we present in full details a method to expand at large spin the solution of the long-range Baxter equation. We treat the twist-2 and 3 cases at two loops and the twist-3 case at three loops. Several subtleties arise whose resolution leads to a simple algorithm computing the expansion.

Precise Vacuum Stability Bound in the Standard Model

description: In the standard model, a lower bound to the Higgs mass (for a given top quark mass) exists if one requires that the standard model vacuum be stable. This bound is calculated as precisely as possible, including the most recent values of the gauge couplings, corrected two-loop beta functions and radiative corrections to the Higgs and top masses. In addition to being somewhat more precise, this work differs from previous calculations in that the bounds are given in terms of the poles of the Higgs and top quark propagators, rather than ''the MS-bar top quark mass''. This difference can be as large as 6-10 GeV for the top mass, which corresponds to as much as 15 GeV for the Higgs mass lower bound. Concentrating on the top quark mass region from 130 to 150 GeV, I find that for $α_s=0.117$, $$ m_H > 75 {\rm GeV} + 1.64 (m_t - 140 {\rm GeV}). $$ This result increases (decreases) by 3 GeV if the strong coupling decreases (increases) by 0.007, and is accurate to 2 GeV. If one allows for the standard model vacuum to be unstable, then weaker bounds can be obtained.

Self-consistent Mean Field theory in weakly ionized media
Creators: name: Leprovost, Nicolas

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a self-consistent mean field theory of the dynamo in 3D and turbulent diffusion in 2D in weakly ionized gas. We find that in 3D, the backreaction does not alter the beta effect while it suppresses the alpha effect when the strength of a mean magnetic field exceeds a critical value. These results suggest that a mean field dynamo operates much more efficiently in weakly ionized gas compared to the fully ionized gas. Furthermore, we show that in 2D, the turbulent diffusion is suppressed by back reaction when a mean magnetic field reaches the same critical strength, with the upper bound on turbulent diffusion given by its kinematic value. Astrophysical implications are discussed.
Liouville Conformal Field Theories in Higher Dimensions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We consider a generalization of the two-dimensional Liouville conformal field theory to any number of even dimensions. The theories consist of a log-correlated scalar field with a background $\mathcal{Q}$-curvature charge and an exponential Liouville-type potential. The theories are non-unitary and conformally invariant. They localize semiclassically on solutions that describe manifolds with a constant negative $\mathcal{Q}$-curvature. We show that $C_T$ is independent of the $\mathcal{Q}$-curvature charge and is the same as that of a higher derivative scalar theory. We calculate the A-type Euler conformal anomaly of these theories. We study the correlation functions, derive an integral expression for them and calculate the three-point functions of light primary operators. The result is a higher-dimensional generalization of the two-dimensional DOZZ formula for the three-point function of such operators.

A turbulent model of torque in von Karman swirling flow

description: A stochastic model is derived to predict the turbulent torque produced by a swirling flow. It is a simple Langevin process, with a colored noise. Using the unified colored noise approximation, we derive analytically the PDF of the fluctuations of injected power in two forcing regimes: constant angular velocity or constant applied torque. In the limit of small velocity fluctuations and vanishing inertia, we predict that the injected power fluctuates twice less in the case of constant torque than in the case of constant angular velocity forcing. The model is further tested against experimental data in a von Karman device filled with water. It is shown to allow for a parameter-free prediction of the PDF of power fluctuations in the case where the forcing is made at constant torque. A physical interpretation of our model is finally given, using a quasi-linear model of turbulence.

description: This study assesses the effectiveness of the Subsidy per Head Scheme (SPHS) in increasing milk productivity, land use, herd size and income in dairy farms across the seven regions of Kosovo. SPHS represents one of the largest coupled subsidy programs in the agricultural sector of Kosovo in terms of farmer participation and budget allocation. We use a Propensity Score Matching approach to assess the impact of this program by comparing a group of participants with a group of non-participants during the 2013–2014 farming seasons. We test the robustness of the impact results using four different matching algorithms. Results reveal SPHS was not effective in increasing land use, gross income and farm size (number of cows), although SPHS had a limited impact on improving milk productivity. In addition, the study highlights the need to reformulate coupled subsidies and develop new, complementary strategies that address farmers’ needs more efficiently.
Misconceptions Regarding the Zero Lower Bound on Interest Rates

description: The paper reviews issues related to the zero lower bound (ZLB) on interest rates and argues that all of the following propositions are invalid: (1) in a ZLB situation, "shaping interest rate expectations is essentially the only tool that central bankers have" (Bernanke, Reinhart, and Sack [2004]); (2) fiscal policy actions such as "helicopter drops" are in theory more effective than monetary policy actions; (3) the prominent "foolproof way" policy rule of Svensson (2001, 2003) is applicable more generally-that is, even when exact uncovered interest parity holds-than the alternative exchange rate rule of McCallum (2000); (4) both of the exchange rate strategies described in (3) are open to the objection that they constitute "beggar-thy-neighbor" approaches; and (5) there is a significant danger of ZLB difficulties stemming from a "deflationary trap" type of equilibrium, as distinct from a "liquidity trap."
Thermal diffusion and bending kinetics in nematic elastomer cantilever

description: Vertically aligned mono-domain nematic liquid crystal elastomers contract when heated. If a temperature gradient is applied across the width of such a cantilever, inhomogeneous strain distribution leads to bending motion. We modelled the kinetics of thermally-induced bending in the limit of a long thin strip and the predicted time-variation of curvature agreed quantitatively with experimental data from samples with a range of critical indices and nematic-isotropic transition temperatures. We also deduced a value for the thermal diffusion coefficient of the elastomer.
Ethics and Development: Between Well-being, Livelihood and Market
Creators: name: Brinkmeyer, Carsten
Publisher: name: The Interdisciplinary Journal of International Studies
Year: 2013

description: In today’s development discourse, the implementation and facilitation of a liberal market economy is assumed to be the crucial asset to success in the developing world. However, this article elaborates on the role of ethical values such as freedom, justice and care as necessary for a development concept that is concerned with the improvement of people’s well-being and livelihood. It therefore takes as a point of departure the ethical capabilities of people, and sees this as important for daily interaction and economic behaviour, while concurrently claiming that substantial understanding of freedom, justice and care has developmental features when exercised at the national level. The Listian concept of “capital of mind” augmented with the Aristotelian urge for “Eudaimonia” constitute the basis for this elaboration.

Capital and Labour: Can the Conflict be Solved?
Creators: name: Sørensen, Michael Kuur
Publisher: name: The Interdisciplinary Journal of International Studies
Year: 2013

description: This article attempts to solve the contradiction or conflict between capital and labour, as formulated by Karl Marx, with the use of Johan Galtung’s theory of conflict transformation. It is concluded that, although solutions that are based upon the capitalist system are unstable, they can function for a given period of time where they are more favourable than the antagonistic structure between capital and labour. The reason for the instability of compromises and other solutions based on the capitalist system is the self-expansionary nature of the capitalist system that, over time, re-creates the antagonistic relations that Marx identified. The only solutions that are not undermined by the self-expansionary nature of the capitalist system are subsistence economies and experiments with socialist production relations, termed here as “labourism”– although the latter has not been (fully) realized in practice anywhere.

(Parametrized) First Order Transport Equations: Realization of Optimally Stable Petrov-Galerkin Methods

description: We consider ultraweak variational formulations for (parametrized) linear first order transport equations in time and/or space. Computationally feasible pairs of optimally stable trial and test spaces are presented, starting with a suitable test space and defining an optimal trial space by the application of the adjoint operator. As a result, the inf-sup constant is one in the continuous as well as in the discrete case and the computational realization is therefore easy. In particular, regarding the latter, we avoid a stabilization loop within the greedy algorithm when constructing reduced models within the framework of reduced basis methods. Several numerical experiments demonstrate the good performance of the new method.
