description: The resistance of cocoa to Phytophthora palmivora and its mechanism(s) were investigated in leaves and pods of twelve clones. Anatomical and morphological characteristics including ; cuticle thickness, stomata! frequency and pore length were assessed on leaf and correlated with foliar resistance at penetration stage. Post-penetration resistance was also determined on leaf and pod, and their relationship assessed. Results show a significant difference in leaf susceptibility between surfaces. The adaxial surface appeared less susceptible possibly due to lack of stomata and/or the presence of a thick cuticle. Leaf susceptibility differed significantly at penetration and postpenetration stages suggesting different mechanisms. Correlation analysis shows a strong relationship between the joint effect of cuticle thickness, stomata! frequency, stomata! size and leaf resistance at penetration stage. A close relationship in the rate of spread of lesion in leaf and pod indicates that a reliable assessment of clonal reaction can be based on leaf observation. The results suggest that there are two mechanisms of resistance; one at th,e point of penetration and the other at post-penetration stage. The resistance mechanism(s) at postpenetration stage seems to be common for both leaf and pod, and possibly controlled by biochemical factor(s). This suggest that pod resistance to P.palmivora can be reliably assessed at the seedling stage using leaf resistance to spread as an indicator. Both pathological and genetic implications of these findings are discussed for the improvement of cocoa resistance to P.palmivora infections.

A Method for Separating the Physics from the Astrophysics of High-Redshift 21cm Fluctuations

Publisher: name: arXiv

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

description: Fluctuations in the 21cm brightness from cosmic hydrogen at redshifts z > 6 were sourced by the primordial density perturbations from inflation as well as by the radiation from galaxies. We propose a method to separate these components based on the angular dependence of the 21cm fluctuation power spectrum. Peculiar velocities increase the power spectrum by a factor of ~ 2 compared to density fluctuations alone, and introduce an angular dependence in Fourier space. The resulting angular structure relative to the line of sight facilitates a simple separation of the power spectrum into several components, permitting an unambiguous determination of the primordial power spectrum of density fluctuations, and of the detailed properties of all astrophysical sources of 21cm fluctuations. We also demonstrate that there is no significant information to be gained from 21cm measurements on large angular scales. Thus, observational analyses can be confined to small angular areas where projection effects are negligible, and theoretical predictions should focus on the three-dimensional power spectrum of 21cm fluctuations.

description: We discuss two types of instabilities which may arise in string theory compactified to asymptotically AdS spaces: perturbative, due to discrete modes in the spectrum of the Laplacian, and non-perturbative, due to brane nucleation. In the case of three dimensional Einstein manifolds, we completely characterize the presence of these instabilities, and in higher dimensions we provide a partial classification. The analysis may be viewed as an extension of the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound. One interesting result is that, apart from a very special class of exceptions, all Euclidean asymptotically AdS spaces with more than one conformal boundary component are unstable, if the compactification admits BPS branes or scalars saturating the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound. As examples, we analyze quotients of AdS in any dimension and AdS Taub-NUT spaces, and show a space which was previously discussed in the context of AdS/CFT is unstable both perturbatively and non-perturbatively.

description: Hughston has shown that projective pure spinors can be used to construct massless solutions in higher dimensions, generalizing the four-dimensional twistor transform of Penrose. In any even (Euclidean) dimension d=2n, projective pure spinors parameterize the coset space SO(2n)/U(n), which is the space of all complex structures on R^{2n}. For d=4 and d=6, these spaces are CP^1 and CP^3, and the appropriate twistor transforms can easily be constructed. In this paper, we show how to construct the twistor transform for d>6 when the pure spinor satisfies nonlinear constraints, and present explicit formulas for solutions of the massless field equations.

description: For a quantum double well system interacting with a mesoscopic bath, it is shown that a single particle in the bath is sufficient to substantially reduce tunneling between the two wells. This is demonstrated by considering an ammonia molecule in the center of a ring; in addition to halving the maser line frequency, there is an increase in intensity by four orders of magnitude. The tunneling varies non-monotonically with the number N of electrons in the ring, reflecting the changing electronic correlations. Although the tunneling is reduced for small N, it turns around and grows to its free value for large N. This is shown to not violate Anderson's orthogonality theorem. Experimental implementations are discussed.

description: We present a systematic derivation of the abelianity conditions for the $q$-deformed $W$-algebras constructed from the elliptic quantum algebra $\mathcal{A}_{q,p}\big(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}(N)_{c}\big)$. We identify two sets of conditions on a given critical surface yielding abelianity lines in the moduli space ($p, q, c$). Each line is identified as an intersection of a countable number of critical surfaces obeying diophantine consistency conditions. The corresponding Poisson brackets structures are then computed for which some universal features are described.

Application of Bayesian recursive estimation for seismic signal processing
Creators: name: Baziw, Erick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Bayesian recursive estimation (BRE) requires that the posterior density function be estimated so that conditional mean estimates of desired parameters or states can be obtained. BRE has been referred to as a complete solution to the estimation problem since the posterior density function embodies all available statistical information (i.e., prior, likelihood and evidence). Until recent advances in BRE, most applications required that the system and measurement equations be linear, and that the process and measurement noise be Gaussian and white. A Kalman filter, KF, (closed form solution to the BRE) could be applied to systems that met these conditions. Previous applications of the KF to solve seismic signal processing problems (e.g., deconvolution) have had very limited success and acceptability in the geophysics signal processing community due to the restrictive nature of the KF. The recently new BRE development of sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) techniques for numerically solving non-stationary and non-linear problems has generated considerable interest and active research within the last decade. This thesis focuses upon the implementation of SMC techniques (e.g., particle filtering) for solving seismic signal processing problems. All the associated filters of BRE (hidden Markov model filter, KF, particle filter, Rao-Blackwellised particle filter, and jump Markov systems) and a new and highly robust and unique model of the seismic source wavelet are implemented in two innovative algorithms for solving the important problems of passive seismic event detection and blind seismic deconvolution. A ground-breaking concept in blind seismic deconvolution referred to as principle phase decomposition (PPD) is outlined and evaluated in this thesis. The PPD technique estimates and separates overlapping source wavelets instead of estimating high bandwidth reflection coefficients. It is shown that one can then easily generate reflection coefficients from the separated source wavelets. In this thesis many advantages of the PPD are outlined. Simulated seismogram data with low signal-to-noise ratios is blindly deconvolved where non-stationary, mixed-phase, and zero-phase source wavelets are present. I believe that there are currently no existing blind seismic deconvolution techniques which could obtain comparable performance results of the PPD technique. The work in this thesis has resulted in three IEEE publications and one peer reviewed conference publication.

description: Loss in quality and quantity are of great concern in the marketing of fresh fruits and vegetables. Losses, due to post harvest deterioration of fresh produce affect over 40% of the harvested produce in the world. Some methods to reduce losses include various food processing and preservation techniques such as through application of heat, dehydration, cold storage and freezing as well as chemical preservation or low dose irradiation. However, many of these methods are energy intensive and often change sensory and nutritive qualities, mainly because of rather drastic application of heat, cold or acidity to the fruits and vegetables Current consumer trend is towards fresh, natural, preservative free, minimally processed shelf-stable and yet, convenience foods. This trend has spurred the development of many innovative processing and preservation techniques. Foremost among these are retortable pouches, aseptic packaging, controlled atmosphere storage and vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging. The last one being most extensively studied at the present time. The modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) involves the packaging of perishable products in high gas-barrier packages, in which the gaseous environment has been changed. In a modified environment the product' s natural flavor, color and texture are retained because enzymatic and biochemical degradation are greatly reduced. The effect of temperature combined with modified atmosphere packaging of fruits and vegetables and the product-package compatibility requirements for successful use of this technology is also discussed.

description: Topological mechanics can realize soft modes in mechanical metamaterials in which the number of degrees of freedom for particle motion is finely balanced by the constraints provided by interparticle interactions. However, solid objects are generally hyperstatic (or overconstrained). Here, we show how symmetries may be applied to generate topological soft modes even in overconstrained, rigid systems. To do so, we consider non-Hermitian topology based on non-square matrices, and design a hyperstatic material in which low-energy modes protected by topology and symmetry appear at interfaces. Our approach presents a novel way of generating softness in robust scale-free architectures suitable for miniaturization to the nanoscale.

description: This paper analyses the costs and benefits of controlling groundwater pollution from nitrogen fertilizer. The Village of Hensall, where nitrate concentrations have been observed above 10 mg/1 in recent years, was selected as the study site. The CREAMS simulation model was used to estimate the effect of reducing nitrogen fertilizer on nitrate leaching and consequently on nitrate groundwater pollution. Estimates of the value of groundwater were obtained from the literature and used to calculate the off-farm cost of groundwater contamination. This procedure resulted in a wide range of values for the benefits of reducing nitrate pollutionJEstimated annual benefits of improved groundwater quality ranged from less than $1000.00 to more than $30,000.00 for the village. The off­farm benefits of nitrate groundwater pollution abatement outweigh the cost of using bottled water and in this case the on-farm cost of reducing nitrogen fertilizer. Placing a tax on nitrogen fertilizer would reduce the level of nitrogen applications, but the farm cost of compliance to a nitrogen tax policy is substantially higher than the compliance cost under a regulatory policy.

description: In the present paper, we investigate blow-up and lifespan estimates for a class of semilinear hyperbolic coupled system in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\geqslant 1$, which is part of the so-called Nakao's type problem weakly coupled a semilinear damped wave equation with a semilinear wave equation with nonlinearities of derivative type. By constructing two time-dependent functionals and employing an iteration method for unbounded multiplier with slicing procedure, the results of blow-up and upper bound estimates for the lifespan of energy solutions are derived. The model seems to be hyperbolic-like instead of parabolic-like. Particularly, the blow-up result for one dimensional case is optimal.

description: The purpose of this study was to establish an empirical link between information exposure, attitudes and behaviour. To do this, an after-only with control field experiment was undertaken using a print medium. The data resulting from the experiment was analysed using group comparison and regression analysis techniques.:] Both methods provided statistically significant results. From the group comparisons, it was found that the group exposed to the nutritionally positive advertisement when compared to the control group had a higher overall attitude toward the healthiness of yogurt consumption and a higher consumption level of yogurt. The group exposed to the article containing negative nutritional information had a lower overall attitude toward the healthiness of yogurt, fewer intentions of buying yogurt but had a higher consumption level when compared to the control group. From the regression analysis it was found that the advertisement affected consumption only by changing attitudes whereas the article affected consumption both indirectly through changes in attitude and directly by changing consumption. Surprisingly, the net affect of the negative nutritional information in the article was an increase in consumption. The implication is that information exposure in the form of articles appears to have a more direct impact on behaviour than does information exposure from advertisements. Unfortunately, exposure to an article does not necessarily imply recall of the content of the article, thus the intended impact on consumption, from exposure to the article, may be counter productive.

  Skipjack tuna, Κατσουβόνεια παλαμίδα/ λαϗέρδα/τονοπαλαμίδα
 This is a highly migratory, cosmopolitan species, which forms large schools in warm/temperate waters. These often follow larger animals, such as whales and sharks. Their maximum recorded fork length is 110 cm and maximum recorded weight is 34.5 kg. Common length of mature individuals is 80 cm. It is absent from the Black Sea, but its status in the Mediterranean and in the Aegean more specifically is very unclear. ICCAT records (ICCAT 2006 -2016) state that this species does not occur in the Mediterranean or the Black Sea. However, its presence is mentioned in various publications and in some of them it is described as common (for several cases in the Aegean Sea, see Papakonstantinou 1988: 136). Papanastasiou (1976: 500-503, based on Ananiadis 1970: 298, who, nevertheless, refers to Sarda sarda which is also called παλαμίδα in Greek) suggests that spawning in the Greek Seas and along the North African coast takes place from April to September. Referring to both skipjack tuna and Atlantic bonito, which share the common name pelamid, he provides a migration calendar, which describes specific fishing grounds in particular months of the year, where they are caught by purse-seines and tuna traps (thynneia). Smaller individuals have more tender meat. In the Turkish market, pelamids (Katsuwonus and Sarda) are known with different names depending on their weight (palamite: 0.5-1 kg; bonito: 2-4.5 kg; torik: 4.5-7 kg; lackerdit: over 7 kg), even though they are not distinct taxonomically (Papanastasiou 1976: 502, 503).

description: The profitability of subsurface drainage on imperfectly as well as on poorly drained operator owned and rented land in southwestern Ontario was investigated. The return on drainage investment was more than twice as high for owner operators as for owner non­operators. The return on drainage investment for owners letting their land was relatively low, thus providing little or no incentive to drain. Tenants are also disinclined to drain because of great insecurity of tenure. Under reasonable price scenarios the return for owner operators is sufficient to induce them to invest in drainage. The different incentive structures lead to great differences in land improvement between operator owned and rented land. The drainage condition on operator owned land is considerably better than that on rented land.
Histopathological Image Analysis for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Classification using  Concatenated Deep Learning Models

description: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a subset of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the 7th most common cancer worldwide, and accounts for more than 90% of oral malignancies. Early detection of OSCC is essential for effective treatment and reducing the mortality rate. However, the gold standard method of microscopy-based histopathological investigation is often challenging, time-consuming, and relies on human expertise. Automated analysis of oral biopsy images can aid the histopathologists in performing a rapid and arguably more accurate diagnosis of OSCC. We utilized a transfer learning approach by adapting three pre-trained deep learning (DL) models to OSCC detection.
title: Tracing the Establishment of Political Society: Remembering and Forgetting in Ancient Greek Literature
Creators: name: Raudnitz, Sophie
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis explores the connection between memory and the formation of political society in ancient Greek literature. It is grounded in the notion that memory is a political process: its narratives are shaped by the social and political groups to which we belong. In turn, what and how we remember plays a role in shaping and reshaping those same groups. The thesis examines three ‘memory texts’: the Odyssey, which contains a moment in which forgetting is tied explicitly to political progress; the Trojan Women, a play driven by the urge to remember and memorialise as a way of trying to retain political identity; and the Theaetetus, which not only contains the first known attempt to create a model of memory but also ‘remembers’ the Apology. The texts are also united by the theme of the law court which runs through all three in the form of a metaphor, an agōn and an actual law court trial. This provides an opportunity to examine testimony as the communication of memory in a political context. The thesis proposes that an approach informed by the theory of cultural, collective and traumatic memory opens new avenues not only for the analysis of these classical texts but also for considering their cultural and political impact at the time of their creation or performance. It also suggests that such an analysis offers a productive alternative to the traditional, individual-focused study of trauma in literature. It finds that while, in certain ways, memory supports the texts’ dominant or normative narratives, it also provides ways to challenge them. This process of watching or reading with memory is constitutive of skills relating to citizenship and is provocative of debate about the norms and values of society.

description: The shadowing and antishadowing of nuclear structure functions in the Gribov-Glauber picture is due respectively to the destructive and constructive interference of amplitudes arising from the multiple-scattering of quarks in the nucleus. The effective quark-nucleon scattering amplitude includes Pomeron and Odderon contributions from multi-gluon exchange as well as Reggeon quark-exchange contributions. We show that the coherence of these multiscattering nuclear processes leads to shadowing and antishadowing of the electromagnetic nuclear structure functions in agreement with measurements. This picture leads to substantially different antishadowing for charged and neutral current reactions, thus affecting the extraction of the weak-mixing angle $θ_W$. We find that part of the anomalous NuTeV result for $θ_W$ could be due to the nonuniversality of nuclear antishadowing for charged and neutral currents. Detailed measurements of the nuclear dependence of individual quark structure functions are thus needed to establish the distinctive phenomenology of shadowing and antishadowing and to make the NuTeV results definitive.

description: On the basis of the state parameter of de Sitter space-time satisfying the first law of thermodynamics,we can derive some effective thermodynamic quantities.When the temperature of the black hole horizon is equal to that of the cosmological horizon, we think that the effective temperature of the space-time should have the same value. Using this condition, we obtain a differential equation of the entropy of the de Sitter black hole in the higherdimensional de Rham, Gabadadze and Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity. Solving the differential equation, we obtain the corrected entropy and effective thermodynamic quantities of the de Sitter black hole. The results show that for multiparameter black holes, the entropy satisfied differential equation is invariable with different independent state parameters. Therefore, the entropy of higher-dimensional dS black holes in dRGT massive gravity is only a function of the position of the black hole horizon, and is independent of other state parameters. It is consistent with the corresponding entropy of the black hole horizon and the cosmological horizon. The thermodynamic quantities of self-consistent de Sitter spacetime are given theoretically, and the equivalent thermodynamic quantities have the second-order phase transformation similar to AdS black hole, but unlike AdS black hole, the equivalent temperature of de Sitter space-time has a maximum value. By satisfying the requirement of thermodynamic equilibrium and stability of space-time, the conditions for the existence of dS black holes in the universe are obtained.

description: The landscape of nursing education is evolving in response to the dynamic healthcare environment and the integration of technology. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being explored as a tool to enhance nursing education. However, understanding the perspectives of nurse educators regarding the integration of AI in nursing education is essential for informed implementation. This qualitative investigation aims to explore nurse educators' perspectives on the integration of AI in nursing education, shedding light on their attitudes, experiences, and expectations in this rapidly changing educational context. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of nurse educators from diverse nursing programs. Thematic analysis was employed to identify recurring themes in the educators' narratives. The study revealed several key findings: (1) perceived benefits of AI integration; (2) challenges in maintaining humanistic care; (3) training and professional development needs; (4) adaptability and resistance; (5) impact on student outcomes; and (6) resource allocation and institutional support. The findings underscore the importance of well-designed training programs for educators to effectively integrate AI into nursing education. It is recommended that nursing education institutions develop comprehensive AI integration strategies that balance technology-driven advancements with the preservation of core nursing values. Additionally, ongoing professional development opportunities should be provided to nurse educators to ensure their competence in utilizing AI effectively within the curriculum.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit der Erstellung musikalischer Kompositionen, welche einem bestimmten Genre zugeordnet werden können. Es wird angenommen, dass mit Hilfe von Sets an charakteristischen Eigenschaften und Motiven dieses Ziel erreicht werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck werden diverse Kriterien einer Gruppe von MIDI-Dateien analysiert und mit Hilfe von Mustererkennung sowohl monophone als auch polyphone Motive extrahiert. Mit Hilfe dieser Daten und eines genetischen Algorithmus werden neue Kompositionen erstellt, welche Ähnlichkeiten zu den ursprünglichen Liedern aufweisen sollen. Es wird ein Ansatz verfolgt, welcher mit Notenfolgen bestehend aus ganzen Takten arbeitet. Zunächst werden in der Arbeit musikalische und algorithmische Grundlagen erläutert. Anschließend wird die Analyse der Musikstücke und das Konzept der Komposition vorgestellt. Abschließend werden die Ergebnisse präsentiert, welche durch eine Befragung einer kleinen Personengruppe erhalten wurden. Mehr als die Hälfte der verwendeten Musikstücke konnte dabei von den Probanden richtig zugeordnet werden. Auch die Qualität der Kompositionen wurde durchwegs positiv bewertet.
description: This master thesis dwells upon the creation of musical compositions which can be matched to specific genres. It is assumed that a set of characteristics and musical motifs can be used to obtain this goal. For this purpose different criteria of a group of MIDI data are analysed and monophonic and polyphonic motifs are extracted by the use of pattern recognition techniques. The obtained data and a genetic algorithm are used to create new compositions which are related to the original songs. The developed system uses a beat-based approach. In this thesis several musical and algorithmic concepts are introduced first. Second the analysis of the data and the concept for new compositions is presented. Finally the results received through interviews of a small group of people are shown. More than 50% of the used musical pieces were correctly assigned by the test persons. Also the quality of the compositions were positively ratet.

description: An example of interpolation by means of local field theories between the case of normal Kogut-Susskind fermions and the case of keeping just the fourth root of the Kogut-Susskind determinant is given. For the fourth root trick to be a valid approximation certain limits need to be smooth. The question about the validity of the fourth root trick is not resolved, only cast into a local field theoretical framework.

Is the entropy Sq extensive or nonextensive?

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The cornerstones of Boltzmann-Gibbs and nonextensive statistical mechanics respectively are the entropies $S_{BG} \equiv -k \sum_{i=1}^W p_i \ln p_i $ and $S_{q}\equiv k (1-\sum_{i=1}^Wp_i^{q})/(q-1) (q\in{\mathbb R} ; S_1=S_{BG})$. Through them we revisit the concept of additivity, and illustrate the (not always clearly perceived) fact that (thermodynamical) extensivity has a well defined sense {\it only} if we specify the composition law that is being assumed for the subsystems (say $A$ and $B$). If the composition law is {\it not} explicitly indicated, it is {\it tacitly} assumed that $A$ and $B$ are {\it statistically independent}. In this case, it immediately follows that $S_{BG}(A+B)= S_{BG}(A)+S_{BG}(B)$, hence extensive, whereas $S_q(A+B)/k=[S_q(A)/k]+[S_q(B)/k]+(1-q)[S_q(A)/k][S_q(B)/k]$, hence nonextensive for $q \ne 1$. In the present paper we illustrate the remarkable changes that occur when $A$ and $B$ are {\it specially correlated}. Indeed, we show that, in such case, $S_q(A+B)=S_q(A)+S_q(B)$ for the appropriate value of $q$ (hence extensive), whereas $S_{BG}(A+B) \ne S_{BG}(A)+S_{BG}(B)$ (hence nonextensive).

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit setzt sich mit den aktuellen Lebensumständen von Menschen mit einer visiblen, geistigen Behinderung und deren Familien im Kosovo auseinander. Den Rahmen bildet ein Abriss über die Geschichte und den sozioökonomischen Status des Landes. Der empirische Teil der Arbeit wurde mithilfe eines Übersetzers vor Ort durchgeführt. Als Forschungsstrategie diente die Fallstudie aus dem Bereich der qualitativen Sozialforschung. Mit zwei betroffenen Familien und zwei Expertinnen wurden problemzentrierte Interviews geführt und anhand der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring ausgewertet. Die gewonnenen Ergebnisse zeigen auf, dass die Situation von geistig Behinderten im Kosovo schwierig ist und dass auf vielen Ebenen grosser Handlungsbedarf besteht. Die medizinischen und finanziellen Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten sind gering. Zudem fehlt es an ausreichend fachspezifischem Wissen, sowohl bei den Ärzten, den Lehrpersonen und den Familienangehörigen.

description: The puzzling idea that the combination of independent estimates of the magnitude of a quantity results in a very accurate prediction, which is superior to any or, at least, to most of the individual estimates is known as the wisdom of crowds. Here we use the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's Survey of Professional Forecasters database to confront the statistical and psychophysical explanations of this phenomenon. Overall we find that the data do not support any of the proposed explanations of the wisdom of crowds. In particular, we find a positive correlation between the variance (or diversity) of the estimates and the crowd error in disagreement with some interpretations of the diversity prediction theorem. In addition, contra the predictions of the psychophysical augmented quincunx model, we find that the skew of the estimates offers no information about the crowd error. More importantly, we find that the crowd beats all individuals in less than 2% of the forecasts and beats most individuals in less than 70% of the forecasts, which means that there is a sporting chance that an individual selected at random will perform better than the crowd. These results contrast starkly with the performance of non-natural crowds composed of unbiased forecasters which beat most individuals in practically all forecasts. The moderate statistical advantage of a real-world crowd over its members does not justify the ado about its wisdom, which is most likely a product of the selective attention fallacy.

description: One of the most appealing approaches to ease the Hubble tension is the inclusion of an early dark energy (EDE) component that adds energy to the Universe in a narrow redshift window around the time of recombination and dilutes faster than radiation afterwards. In this paper, we analyze EDE in the framework of $α$-attractor models. As well known, the success in alleviating the Hubble tension crucially depends on the shape of the energy injection. We show how different types of energy injections can be easily obtained, thanks to the freedom in choosing the functional form of the potential inspired by $α$-attractor models. To confirm our intuition we perform an MCMC analysis for three representative cases and find indeed that $H_0$ is significantly larger than in $Λ$CDM like in other EDE models. Unlike axion-driven EDE models with super Planckian decay constant, the curvature of EDE models required by the data is natural in the context of recent theoretical developments in $α$-attractors.
