description: During 2017 we collected adult caddisfly specimens at the Karadak Mountains, Republic of North Macedonia. In total we found 15 species, two of which are recorded for the first time from North Macedonia: Potamophylax fules Oláh and Ibrahimi, 2013 and Chaetopteryx gonospina Marinkovic-Gospodnetic, 1966. Potamophylax fules belongs to the nigricornis group and is scarcely distributed in Kosovo, Montenegro, Rumania and now Macedonia. Chaetopteryx gonospina has a disjunct distribution in Balkans and Pyrenees. Finding of these two species contributes to the knowledge of their distribution patterns and shows that Balkan Peninsula has still poorly investigated areas.

description: Chandra images present evidence for a non-uniform spatial distribution of discrete X-ray sources in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4261. This non-uniform distribution is inconsistent with the optical morphology of NGC 4261 at greater than a 99.9% confidence level. Similar evidence is seen in one more elliptical galaxy (NGC 4697; 98% confidence level) out of five cases we investigated. NGC 4261 and NGC 4697 have old stellar populations (9-15 Gyrs) and fine structure parameters of 1 and 0 respectively, suggesting no recent merging activity. On the basis of simulations of galaxy interactions, we propose that the X-ray sources responsible for the non-uniform distribution are associated with young stellar populations, related to the rejuvenating fall-back of material in tidal tails onto a relaxed merger remnant, or shock induced star-formation along the tidal tails.

description: In this work, we investigate the use of backscattered mm-wave radio signals for the joint tracking and recognition of identities of humans as they move within indoor environments. We build a system that effectively works with multiple persons concurrently sharing and freely moving within the same indoor space. This leads to a complicated setting, which requires one to deal with the randomness and complexity of the resulting (composite) backscattered signal. The proposed system combines several processing steps: at first, the signal is filtered to remove artifacts, reflections and random noise that do not originate from humans. Hence, a density-based classification algorithm is executed to separate the Doppler signatures of different users. The final blocks are trajectory tracking and user identification, respectively based on Kalman filters and deep neural networks. Our results demonstrate that the integration of the last-mentioned processing stages is critical towards achieving robustness and accuracy in multi-user settings. Our technique is tested both on a single-target public dataset, for which it outperforms state-of-the-art methods, and on our own measurements, obtained with a 77 GHz radar on multiple subjects simultaneously moving in two different indoor environments. The system works in an online fashion, permitting the continuous identification of multiple subjects with accuracies up to 98%, e.g., with four subjects sharing the same physical space, and with a small accuracy reduction when tested with unseen data from a challenging real-life scenario that was not part of the model learning phase.

Wages, income distribution, and gender in South Korean export-led growth
Creators: name: Seguino, Stephanie
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This research investigates the role of wages, income distribution, and gender in South Korean growth. Three major analyses are conducted for the 1970s and 1980s: a neo-Kaleckian/structuralist macroeconomic model is developed to examine the impact of shifts in income distribution on output and growth; econometric analyses of hypotheses generated by the model are carried out; and a gender analysis investigates the degree of occupational segregation and wage inequality by gender, and assesses the impact of gender wage differentials on export-led growth. The comparative static results of the model indicate that a semi-open, semi-industrialized economy may be wage-led (higher wages stimulate growth and output) under some conditions. The economy is more likely to be wage-led if there is a structural dependence on imported intermediate and capital goods, import restrictions, or limits on capital mobility. Also, equity and growth may be compatible if firms respond to higher wages by increasing investment in labor-saving technology, and if saving out of profits exceeds saving out of wages. Econometric analysis, used to estimate the structural equations of the model, provides evidence consistent with the hypothesis that the South Korean economy has wage-led characteristics, and indicates that this feature is more pronounced in the 1980s. The investigation into gender-based wage inequality in the manufacturing sector indicates that women are occupationally segregated into low-wage export industries with low wages positively correlated to the share of women workers in an industry. Gender-based wage discrimination is found to be positively related to export growth in the 1970s. This relationship is found not to hold in the 1980s, which may be attributable to a shift in the export mix to goods in which quality matters, thereby permitting the payment of efficiency wages to women. These results suggest that income distribution plays an important role in the macroeconomy, with wage increases in South Korea in the 1980s having a positive impact on growth and output. The gender analysis supports the view that the role of wages is not static and depends in part on economic structure.

description: A dynamic agricultural vector autoregression econometric model is specified and estimated for the standard supply response model using panel data. The model is estimated using twenty years of district level data for three regions in northern India where in each region there are several districts. The results indicate the importance of the dynamics in agricultural decision making as well as the simultaneity of the allocation of resources and prices of the different crops. The estimation results with respect to the different crops and regions are presented and discussed in detail in the paper.

description: We study quantum effects on moduli dynamics arising from the production of particles which are light at special points in moduli space. The resulting forces trap the moduli at these points, which often exhibit enhanced symmetry. Moduli trapping occurs in time-dependent quantum field theory, as well as in systems of moving D-branes, where it leads the branes to combine into stacks. Trapping also occurs in an expanding universe, though the range over which the moduli can roll is limited by Hubble friction. We observe that a scalar field trapped on a steep potential can induce a stage of acceleration of the universe, which we call trapped inflation. Moduli trapping ameliorates the cosmological moduli problem and may affect vacuum selection. In particular, rolling moduli are most powerfully attracted to the points with the largest number of light particles, which are often the points of greatest symmetry. Given suitable assumptions about the dynamics of the very early universe, this effect might help to explain why among the plethora of possible vacuum states of string theory, we appear to live in one with a large number of light particles and (spontaneously broken) symmetries. In other words, some of the surprising properties of our world might arise not through pure chance or miraculous cancellations, but through a natural selection mechanism during dynamical evolution.

The implicit price of ownership status in Colorado rangeland values

description: This dissertation presents the results of an empirical study testing the influence of ownership status on land value, using a model of Colorado rangeland prices. The main purpose is to test the hypothesis that the disutility of public land management is negatively capitalized into rangeland property values. The study illustrates the versatility of the hedonic price approach, as defined by Sherwin Rosen (1974), by applying the methodology to a rangeland valuation problem. To estimate the implicit price of prior government ownership it was necessary to isolate, inventory and measure the important determinants of rangeland resources. The data base consists of 70 meets and bounds, arms length sales transactions (19 public and 51 private) occurring from January 1983 to August 1989 and a spate of parcel-specific characteristics. The sales were drawn from the Fourmile/High Park region of central Colorado. The final models explained approximately 70 per cent of the variation in the price of rangeland. The results offer evidence that prior private ownership increased the value of rangeland on the average, by 40 percent--or approximately $350 per acre over that of public properties, ceteris paribus. Since the role played by sparse water rights and mineral values is ignored in the equation, a claim cannot be made that the ownership estimate reflects a precise measure of the undervaluation of government land. However, the coefficients of all other tested attributes compare favorably with those of previous rural land studies. Although definitive conclusions on the causality of the ownership/value relationship cannot be made using the single-equation methodology, several possible explanations are offered. Explanations of the differential from the supply perspective include: a lackluster sales process, the possibility of preference sales, and program compliance effects. Differences in expected future profitability and transactions costs are suggested on the demand side. These results demonstrate the discount associated with public ownership in the rural land market of central Colorado. Based on independently gathered data, the research provides an important test of the public/private dichotomy and a first step in the full valuation of federal rangeland resources.

description: The primary purpose of this investigation is to test a model of the term structure of forward exchange rates. The approach taken in the paper consists of developing a unified framework within which this term structure is studied in conjunction with that of interest rates. Econometric analysis of data from the eurocurrency market generally indicates that the term structure implications of a lognormal version of the (consumption-based) intertemporal asset pricing model are statistically rejected at usual significance levels.

description: We classify Haag-dual Poincaré covariant subsystems $\B\subset \F$ of a graded-local net $\F$ on 4D Minkowski spacetime which satisfies standard assumptions and has trivial superselection structure. The result applies to the canonical field net $\F_\A$ of a net $\A$ of local observables satisfying natural assumptions. As a consequence, provided that it has no nontrivial internal symmetries, such an observable net $\A$ is generated by (the abstract versions of) the local energy-momentum tensor density and the observable local gauge currents which appear in the algebraic formulation of the quantum Noether theorem. Moreover, for a net $\A$ of local observables as above, we also classify the Poincaré covariant local extensions $\B \supset \A$ which preserve the dynamics.

title: Localisation and time courses of CMV generators from MFT analysis of average MEG signals
Creators: name: Dammers, Jürgen
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: The research presented here is divided into two parts. The first part addresses questions relating to the localisation capability of magnetoencephalography (MEG), with emphasise on testing the accuracy of typical MEG systems before any source reconstruction is applied. The second and main part is concerned with localisation and time courses of neuronal generators contributing to both the slow and fast neuromagnedc field changes associated with the contingent negative variation (CNV) in the normal human brain. We use multi-channel and full head MEG systems to study the magnetic counterpart of the CNV, the contingent magnetic variation (CMV). MEG analysis of such near DC-like signals requires advanced source reconstruction that is able to identify widely distributed as well as focal sources which often fire simultaneously from cortical as well as from deeper brain structures. We use magnetic field tomography (MFT) to extract time courses of regional brain activity. Results are presented from a multi-subject CMV study performed using the BTi MAGNES II system (Experiment 1) and a single subject experiment, using the CTF whole cortex system (Experiment 2).
 From Experiment 1 we identified four different CMV generators (auditory cortex, sensorimotor cortex, inferior prefrontal cortex, posterior inferior parietal area) and observed priming of the auditory cortex as part of the early CMV complex and the priming of the sensorimotor cortex as part of the late CMV complex. These results were confirmed by Experiment 2, where the full head coverage also revealed two additional areas, the supplementary motor area and the posterior cingulate cortex, which were dramatically reduced when identical runs were repeated. The SMA activity has been notoriously difficult to identify non-invasively from electrophysiological data, especially from MEG, so our success in identifying them clearly and showing how they change with repetition can he considered as the highlight of our project.

description: The Nekrasov-Okounkov formula gives an expression for the Fourier coefficients of the Euler functions as a sum of hook length products. This formula can be deduced from a specialization in a renormalization of the affine type $A$ Weyl denominator formula and the use of a polynomial argument. In this paper, we rephrase the renormalized Weyl-Kac denominator formula as a sum parametrized by affine Grassmannian elements. This naturally gives rise to the (dual) atomic length of the root system considered introduced by Chapelier-Laget and Gerber. We then provide an interpretation of this atomic length as the cardinality of some subsets of $n$-core partitions by using foldings of affine Dynkin diagrams. This interpretation does not permit the direct use of a polynomial argument for all affine root systems. We show that this obstruction can be overcome by computing the atomic length of certain families of integer partitions. Then we show how hook-length statistics on these partitions are connected with the Coxeter length on affine Grassmannian elements and Nekrasov-Okounkov type formulas.
Learning our lives: Lesbian existence and experience in Washington, D.C

Year: 2023

description: This study uses twenty-three life story narratives from lesbians of diverse backgrounds living in Washington, D.C. during 1993 as a means of identifying and articulating some of the salient features of lesbian life experience. Excerpts from these narratives are presented in a series of six essays which address the pervasive themes the women I interviewed discussed while telling me their life stories. I present these narratives within historical context in order to address two facets of lesbian life. I examine lesbian existence (the phenomenon of women identifying as lesbian) as a social form within a context of inequality and contestation, and lesbian experience (the stories lesbians tell about themselves) as sites of struggle over meaning within that context. By using life story narratives as a primary means of data collection in this analysis, lesbians are given their own voice in the articulation of their personal existence and life experience.

description: The knowledge about stoneflies of the Balkan Peninsula is still not complete with many areas poorly investigated. During this investigation we collected adult stoneflies specimens from Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro during the period 2014-2018. In total we found 43 species belonging to 14 genera and 7 families. Four species are recorded for the first time from Kosovo (Leuctra cingulata Kempny, 1899, Nemoura cf. lucana Nicolai & Fochetti, 1991, Nemoura uncinata Despax, 1934 and Brachyptera macedonica Ikonomov, 1983), one is recorded for the first time from Serbia (Nemoura asceta Murányi, 2007) and one from Albania (Leuctra major Brinck, 1949). This investigation contributes to the distribution patterns of stoneflies species in the Balkan Peninsula.

 Environmental Detective Work: Environmental Cheminformatics and the Exposome Affiliation
 Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Talk synopsis
 The multitude of chemicals to which we are exposed is ever increasing, with over 110 million chemicals in the largest open chemical databases, over 350,000 in global use inventories, and over 70,000 estimated to be in household use alone. Detectable molecules in exposomics can be captured using non-target high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), but despite the size of the chemical space, scientists cannot yet identify most of the tens of thousands of features in each sample, leading to critical bottlenecks in identification and data interpretation. This talk will cover European and worldwide community initiatives and resources to help connect environmental expert knowledge and observations towards a better understanding of the exposome, including various open cheminformatics and computational mass spectrometry approaches such as the NORMAN Suspect List Exchange, MassBank, MetFrag and PubChemLite for Exposomics. Brief biography
 Associate Professor Emma Schymanski is an FNR ATTRACT Fellow and head of the Environmental Cheminformatics (ECI) group at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB), University of Luxembourg. Her research combines cheminformatics and computational (high resolution) mass spectrometry approaches to elucidate the unknowns in complex samples, primarily with non-target screening, and relating these to environmental causes of disease. An advocate for open science, she is involved in and organizes several European and worldwide activities to improve the exchange of data, information and ideas between scientists to push progress in this field, including NORMAN Network activities (e.g. NORMAN-SLE https://www.norman-network.com/nds/SLE/), MassBank (https://massbank.eu/MassBank/), MetFrag (https://msbi.ipb-halle.de/MetFrag/) and PubChemLite for Exposomics (https://doi.org/10.1186/s13321-021-00489-0).

description: We present novel roulette schemes for rare-event sampling that are both structure-preserving and unbiased. The boundaries where Monte Carlo markers are split and deleted are placed automatically and adapted during runtime. Extending existing codes with the new schemes is possible without severe changes because the equation of motion for the markers is not altered. These schemes can also be applied in the presence of nonlinear and nonlocal coupling between markers. As an illustrative application, we have implemented this method in the ASCOT-RFOF code, used to simulate fast-ion generation by radio-frequency waves in fusion plasmas. In this application, with this method the Monte-Carlo noise level for typical fast-ion energies can be reduced at least of one order of magnitude without increasing the computational effort.

Excerpts from these narratives are presented in a series of six essays which address the pervasive themes the women I interviewed discussed while telling me their life stories. I present these narratives within historical context in order to address two facets of lesbian life. I examine lesbian existence (the phenomenon of women identifying as lesbian) as a social form within a context of inequality and contestation, and lesbian experience (the stories lesbians tell about themselves) as sites of struggle over meaning within that context. By using life story narratives as a primary means of data collection in this analysis, lesbians are given their own voice in the articulation of their personal existence and life experience.

description: At the second post-Newtonian (2PN) order, the secular pericentre precession $\dotω^\mathrm{2PN}$ of either a full two-body system made of well detached non-rotating monopole masses of comparable size and a restricted two-body system composed of a point particle orbiting a fixed central mass have been analytically computed so far with a variety of approaches. We offer our contribution by analytically computing $\dotω^\mathrm{2PN}$ in a perturbative way with the method of variation of elliptical elements by explicitly calculating both the direct contribution due to the 2PN acceleration ${\boldsymbol A}^\mathrm{2PN}$, and also an indirect part arising from the self-interaction of the 1PN acceleration ${\boldsymbol A}^\mathrm{1PN}$ in the orbital average accounting for the instantaneous shifts induced by ${\boldsymbol A}^\mathrm{1PN}$ itself. Explicit formulas are straightforwardly obtained for both the point particle and full two-body cases without recurring to simplifying assumptions on the eccentricity $e$. Two different numerical integrations of the equations of motion confirm our analytical results for both the direct and indirect precessions. The values of the resulting effects for Mercury and some binary pulsars are confronted with the present-day level of experimental accuracies in measuring/constraining their pericentre precessions. The supermassive binary black hole in the BL Lac object OJ 287 is considered as well. A comparison with some of the results appeared in the literature is made.

description: The ultrafast switching of magnetization in multiferroic materials by a femtosecond laser could provide various advantages in photonics and magnonics. An efficient approach to control the light matter interaction is the modulation of ultrafast coherent magnons and phonons in the high frequency range. Spontaneous Raman and infrared spectra reveal the excitation of magnons and optical phonons in multiferroic BiFeO3 in the sub few terahertz range. However, coherent control of such quasiparticles has not been achieved yet. In this study, we demonstrate that linearly polarized laser pulses simultaneously excite coherent magnons out of plane and in plane cyclone modes and optical phonon E mode in BiFeO3. Experimental results in conjugation with phenomenological theory, by considering three uniformly distributed magnetic domains reveal that impulsive stimulated Raman scattering is responsible for the generation of coherent magnons and phonons in BiFeO3. The observation of these terahertz magnon and optical phonon modes paves the way for the development of ultrafast magneto electro optical devices.

description: Epidemiological investigation on amphistomiasis through examination of viscera and faeces of 267 cattle, 120 goats, 67 sheep and 36 buffaloes in some parts of flood plains, hilly and coastal areas of Bangladesh during July, 1998 to June, 2001 revealed all types of animals infected with at least three or more species of amphistomes in all seasons of the year. The amphistome species were Gastrothylax crumemfer, Paramphistomum cervi, Cotylophoron cotylophorum; GiOntocotyle explanatum and Hom—alogaster ploniae. Simultaneous examination of 10,404 freshwater snails revealed 9 species of which at least five species namely Indoplanorbis exustus, Lymnaea spp. Thiara tubrculata, Bithynia tentaculata and Gyraulus convexiusculus were detected as the possible intermediate host of amphistome flukes. The vector snails were prevalent rouhd the year in almost all areas of the country except the extreme sea shores. There was a significant (p<0.05) variation in the distribution of the vector snails, Lytnnaea spp, Indoplanorbis exustus and Gyraulus convexiusculus in the different seasons of the year. The G. explanatum mostly in the buffaloes and some cattle while H. p/oniae.occurred in the caecum of some cattle and sheep only. The proportion of immature, young and adult amphistomes in different species of animals varied considerably, more adult amphistomes were recorded in cattle and buffaloes than in sheep and goats. The population density of amphistome was also high in cattle and buffaloes than in sheep and goats, lowest numbers of 50 in a goat and highest numbers of 7,538 in a cow. The burden of mature worms was more in aged animals (>4 years) than in young (<2 years).

title: Sources for the investigation of meaning in the Hebrew Bible
Creators: name: Groom, Susan Anne
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Many linguistic tools and methods are applied to Biblical texts to gain meaning from them. Such applications do not always take into account the perspective of the investigators, the presuppositions of the method being used, and the nature of the material to which it is applied. These factors all influence the meaning obtained from the text. It is vital therefore to consider the available data in Hebrew, the development and transmission of the Masoretic Text, and the nature of the language contained therein (Chapter 1). The main section of the thesis provides a critical survey of the application of various tools and methods. Chapter 2 provides a summary of the Comparative Method with its presuppositions, a brief overview of Barr’s criticisms of its application to Biblical texts, and guidelines for its use. Chapter 3 looks at the Versions, the influence of the language, theology and motivation of the translators on their production, and the validity of using translations for obtaining meaning from Hebrew. Chapter 4 examines the presuppositions of Lexical Semantics and surveys some applications of this method to Classical Hebrew. Chapter 5 examines Text Linguistics and some applications of Tagmemics to Hebrew narratives, assessing its contribution to the investigation of meaning. The text is like a multi-faceted diamond which can be viewed from any number of angles, both synchronically and diachronically, reflecting potentially innumerable meanings. Each of the tools and methods surveyed here approaches the text from a different perspective and when appropriately applied can be combined to gain as much meaning as possible from the Hebrew Bible. This results in illustration of an integrated approach to the investigation of meaning in Classical Hebrew. Nonetheless, it remains possible to construct a complete linguistic analysis of the text at every level and still not quite understand what it means!
