description: Management of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) has become a hot topic in the mining industry since the recent catastrophic failures occurred. A robust tailings deposition analysis is a crucial task, as it allows the engineer to plan the operation accordingly. A proper analysis must, however, capture several complexities, including non-linear flow and deformation analyses and staged construction processes. This paper presents an automated modelling tool that uses Hydrus-1D, Python and Autodesk® Dynamo® to model time-dependent pseudo-3D seepage. This tool was developed to model seepage through a real TSF, enabling pseudo-3D seepage analyses to predict seepage evolution over time over the entire TSF. A Python script is used to automate the Hydrus-1D modelling sequence and is summarized as follows: i) the TSF 3D shape is discretized in space and time using the tailings production data and the deposition sequence of the tailings as 3D elements/columns; ii) the seepage is solved sequentially on each discretized column, and fresh tailings blocks are stacked on top of previously solved columns as tailings are being deposited; iii) the time-dependent total seepage over the entire base of the TSF is then computed, thus enabling, where required, the justification for geosynthetic liners (i.e., hydraulic barriers) and the design of drainage systems. The code has been used for several projects where the bottom seepage of conventional TSFs was predicted. The tool can also be used to determine the base seepage in waste rock dumps (WRD), heap leach facilities (HLF) and combined facilities (co-disposal). A real case example applied in Madaouela project is presented along several sensitivity analyses that account for variation in relevant inputs, such as hydraulic conductivities and tailings saturation. A key consideration for designing the seepage collection pond was to determine the rate of seepage at various stages of the project, to ensure adequate pond size to accommodate both seepage flows and potential stormwater runoff.

Messy Definitions and Blurred Lines: Marriage, Autonomy, and Reconciliation in Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure

description: [Introduction] “The tempter or the tempted, who sins the most?” (2.2.200) – Angelo’s question of sin represents the overall tension between violence and reconciliation in Measure for Measure. But why does Shakespeare create tensions between the Latin lex talionis, “eye for an eye” and the biblical consideration of “measure for measure”? What do the different forms of reconciliation mean for the different characters in the play? And are they effective forms of justice? An answer, perhaps, lies in Shakespeare’s presentation of marriage. Measure for Measure depicts marriage specifically as a form of reparation for violence: the characters in the play do not repent for their various sins through jail time or death, only through potentially unhappy marriages. In doing so, Shakespeare constructs his own set of terms in which the reader must consider the concept of a late medieval marriage: marriage in the play does not always take the form of a conventual, consensual relationship, instead Shakespeare uses forced marriage to challenge the Catholic tradition of marriage as a sacrament and the growing Puritan ideal of marriage for companionship. Through the marriages of Claudio and Juliet, Mariana and Angelo, and the ambiguous silence of the Duke’s proposal to Isabella, Shakespeare compares and contrasts different foundations for marriage, making an appeal to the audience to interpret their purpose. Shakespeare plays with the ideals of consent, companionship, and the law to create several competing implementations of a “measure for measure.” The audience must decide which, if any of these marriages are satisfying, and to what extent that, in light of the violence of the play, they can constitute their own form of justice, and their own “measure for measure.”

description: We analyse determinants of bank credit losses in Australasia. Despite sizeable credit losses over the past two decades, ours is the first systematic study to do so. Analysis is based on a comprehensive dataset retrieved from original financial reports of 32 Australasian banks (1980- 2005). Credit losses rise when the macro economy is weak. Asset markets, particularly the equity market, are also important. Larger banks provide more for credit losses while less efficient banks have greater asset quality problems. Strong loan growth translates into significantly higher credit losses with a lag of 2-4 years. Finally, the results show strong evidence of income smoothing activities by banks.

A New Method for Determining Cumulative Gravitational Lensing Effects in Inhomogeneous Universes

description: We present a new approach to calculating the statistical distributions for magnification, shear, and rotation of images of cosmological sources due to gravitational lensing. In this approach one specifies an underlying Robertson-Walker cosmological model together with relevant information on the clumping of matter on scales much smaller than the Hubble radius. The geodesic deviation equation is then integrated backwards in time until the desired redshift is reached, using a Monte Carlo procedure wherein each photon beam in effect ``creates its own universe'' as it propagates. The approach is somewhat similar to that used in ``Swiss cheese'' models, but the ``cheese'' has been completely eliminated, the matter distribution in the ``voids'' need not be spherically symmetric, and the total mass in each void need equal the corresponding Robertson-Walker mass only on average. We show that when the matter in the universe consists of point masses, the statistical distributions of the lensing images are essentially independent of both the mass spectrum and clustering properties of the point masses, provided that the clustering is spherical. We apply our results (i) to argue that the positive correlation recently found between quasar luminosity and the number of absorption line systems is not likely to be due to lensing, and (ii) to determine the amount of ``noise'' and possible bias produced by lensing in measurements of $q_0$ using distant supernovae.

description: In network science, the non-homogeneity of node degrees has been a concerned issue for study. Yet, with the modern web technologies today, the traditional social communication topologies have evolved from node-central structures to online cycle-based communities, urgently requiring new network theories and tools. Switching the focus from node degrees to network cycles, it could reveal many interesting properties from the perspective of totally homogeneous networks, or sub-networks in a complex network, especially basic simplexes (cliques) such as links and triangles. Clearly, comparing to node degrees it is much more challenging to deal with network cycles. For studying the latter, a new clique vector space framework is introduced in this paper, where the vector space with a basis consisting of links has the dimension equal to the number of links, that with a basis consisting of triangles has the dimension equal to the number of triangles, and so on. These two vector spaces are related through a boundary operator, e.g., mapping the boundary of a triangle in one space to the sun of three links in the other space. Under the new framework, some important concepts and methodologies from algebraic topology, such as characteristic number, homology group and Betti number, will have a play in network science leading to foreseeable new research directions. As immediate applications, the paper illustrates some important characteristics affecting the collective behaviors of complex networks, some new cycle-dependent importance indexes of nodes, and implications for network synchronization and brain network analysis.

description: A system of N classical particles in a 2D periodic cell interacting via long-range attractive potential is studied. For low energy density $U$ a collapsed phase is identified, while in the high energy limit the particles are homogeneously distributed. A phase transition from the collapsed to the homogeneous state occurs at critical energy U_c. A theoretical analysis within the canonical ensemble identifies such a transition as first order. But microcanonical simulations reveal a negative specific heat regime near $U_c$. The dynamical behaviour of the system is affected by this transition : below U_c anomalous diffusion is observed, while for U > U_c the motion of the particles is almost ballistic. In the collapsed phase, finite $N$-effects act like a noise source of variance O(1/N), that restores normal diffusion on a time scale diverging with N. As a consequence, the asymptotic diffusion coefficient will also diverge algebraically with N and superdiffusion will be observable at any time in the limit N \to \infty. A Lyapunov analysis reveals that for U > U_c the maximal exponent λdecreases proportionally to N^{-1/3} and vanishes in the mean-field limit. For sufficiently small energy, in spite of a clear non ergodicity of the system, a common scaling law λ\propto U^{1/2} is observed for any initial conditions.

description: Happiness, ritual, and sovereignty are artists’ persistent aspirations in the African- and Afro-Asian diasporas. “The Cinema of Social Dreamers” explores why the dreamscape is increasingly becoming the creative form for the expression of these social ambitions. This dissertation particularly spotlights the award-winning films and new media projects that exploit the dreamscape aesthetic in contemporary Caribbean and diasporic art. My analysis focuses on this tropical region, as well as its transnational impact in Canada, Mexico, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Central to this manuscript are the artists Mariette Monpierre, Michelle Mohabeer, and Minia Biabiany. I specifically engage their questions of happiness, spirituality, sexuality, and sovereignty in the wake of colonialism. The range of the narrative media these artists employ—from installation art and new media to sensational melodramas—also evidences the richness of the contemporary moment. While their award-winning works have flourished in niche film festivals and at fine art institutions, “The Cinema of Social Dreamers” is the first to present them as the subject of deep comparative analysis. By placing the Caribbean archipelago at the center of my work, I also highlight that the economy of art-making (and art history) remains a complex interdisciplinary, multilingual, and transnational project.

description: Epileptic seizure detection and classification in clinical electroencephalogram data still is a challenge, and only low sensitivity with a high rate of false positives has been achieved with commercially available seizure detection tools, which usually are patient non-specific. Epilepsy patients suffer from severe detrimental effects like physical injury or depression due to unpredictable seizures. However, even in hospitals due to the high rate of false positives, the seizure alert systems are of poor help for patients as tools of seizure detection are mostly trained on unrealistically clean data, containing little noise and obtained under controlled laboratory conditions, where patient groups are homogeneous, e.g. in terms of age or type of seizures. In this study authors present the approach for detection and classification of a seizure using clinical data of electroencephalograms and a convolutional neural network trained on features of brain synchronisation and power spectrum. Various deep learning methods were applied, and the network was trained on a very heterogeneous clinical electroencephalogram dataset. In total, eight different types of seizures were considered, and the patients were of various ages, health conditions and they were observed under clinical conditions. Despite this, the classifier presented in this paper achieved sensitivity and specificity equal to 0.68 and 0.67, accordingly, which is a significant improvement as compared to the known results for clinical data.

description: The cosmic string scenario in an open universe is developed -- including the equations of motion, a model of network evolution, the large angular scale CMB temperature anisotropy, and the power spectrum of density fluctuations produced by cosmic strings with dark matter. First we derive the equations of motion for cosmic string in an open FRW space-time and construct a quantitative model of the evolution of the gross features of a cosmic string network. Second, we apply this model of network evolution to estimate the rms CMB temperature anisotropy induced by cosmic strings, obtaining the normalization for the mass per unit length $μ$ as a function of $Ω$. Third, we consider the effects of the network evolution and normalization in an open universe on the large scale structure formation scenarios with either cold or hot dark matter.

We investigate other observed $η^{(\prime)}$ modes and find that only two pairs of $\rpv$ coupling can satisfy the requirements without affecting the other $B \to PP$ and $B \to VP$ decay modes except the mode $B \to ϕK$. We also calculate the CP asymmetry for the observed decay modes affected by the new couplings.

NEURO - SOUNDINGS IN MANAGERIAL JUDGEMEN

description: Interaction between managerial business and brain science is not smooth with misinterpretation in expectations on either side. Attention theatres pervasive part in perception and reasoning. Judgement making is critical for crafting neuro-feedback and executing stratagems. Connectedness plays central role in sciences of mind and brain. Despite substantial advances, question of how managers make judgments continues to pose important challenges for scientific research. Historically, different disciplines have approached this problem using different techniques and assumptions, with few unifying efforts made. Making a managerial judgement implies that there is alternative judgement to be considered, and in such a case we want not only to identify as many of these alternatives as possible but to choose the one that (1) has the highest probability of success or effectiveness and (2) best fits with our goals, desires, lifestyle, values, and so on. What counts as causal evidence in managerial judgement? What role is played by information in managerial sciences of mind and brain? Neurobiological drivers receive signals, perform recognition and transduction to grow and die in stochastic milieus. Impression that managerial judgements are taken through rational or logicalthought process have been exposed to questioning by experiments. Reference is drawn to multiple signals of origin, conditions that support or negate findings that aid understanding of how neuro-feedback influence judgement making

description: Recently deep learning based Natural Language Processing (NLP) models have shown great potential in the modeling of source code. However, a major limitation of these approaches is that they take source code as simple tokens of text and ignore its contextual, syntactical and structural dependencies. In this work, we present CodeGRU, a gated recurrent unit based source code language model that is capable of capturing source code's contextual, syntactical and structural dependencies. We introduce a novel approach which can capture the source code context by leveraging the source code token types. Further, we adopt a novel approach which can learn variable size context by taking into account source code's syntax, and structural information. We evaluate CodeGRU with real-world data set and it shows that CodeGRU outperforms the state-of-the-art language models and help reduce the vocabulary size up to 24.93\%. Unlike previous works, we tested CodeGRU with an independent test set which suggests that our methodology does not requisite the source code comes from the same domain as training data while providing suggestions. We further evaluate CodeGRU with two software engineering applications: source code suggestion, and source code completion. Our experiment confirms that the source code's contextual information can be vital and can help improve the software language models. The extensive evaluation of CodeGRU shows that it outperforms the state-of-the-art models. The results further suggest that the proposed approach can help reduce the vocabulary size and is of practical use for software developers.

American Civil War (1861-1865)

description: "History, like music, has its greatest hits, recounted in later ages as indicative of an era
almost to the exclusion of other examples. But such stories may not be representative; such is the
case with the narrative of Jews in the Civil War. Tales of the “Brains of the Confederacy,” Judah
P. Benjamin, and the anti-Semitism of Grant‟s General Order No. 11 define the popular
discussion of Jews in the Civil War. Yet, neither topic is emblematic of the massive
transformation that took place in the Jewish American community during the war. Judah P.
Benjamin, a wealthy Caribbean born Louisianan, was appointed the Attorney General by
Jefferson Davis.
Later in the war he was appointed the Secretary of War and was known for his
prowess and intelligence.
In almost any discussion of Jews in the Civil War, Benjamin‟s name
comes up. Yet, Benjamin did not associate himself as a Jew. While he never converted from
Judaism and never denied his heritage, he married an affluent Christian New Orleanian and was
buried in a Catholic cemetery. Certainly, Benjamin‟s story is not emblematic of Jews in the
Civil War. Nevertheless, his tale is consistently told as though it was."

A junior subjective synonym of Tenthredo (Tenthredo) brevivertex brevivertex (Konow, 1905b). Synonymy by Zhelochovtsev (1976a).
TYPES. Allantus fulvicornis Mocsáry, 1909: 20 –21. Syntypes 11 Ƥ, “Alai”. Secondary homonym of Tenthredo fulvicornis Mocsáry, 1909 [= Tenthredo crenata (Enslin, 1912)]. Lectotype Ƥ, hereby designated (Fig. 17). Type locality: “Alai mont.” [= Alai, mountain range in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan].
= Tenthredo candida Enslin, 1912: 104. Replacement name for Allantus fulvicornis Mocsáry, 1909.
DISCUSSION. According to Mocsáry (1909), A. fulvicornis was based on 11 Ƥ. As already noted by Taeger (1988a), not 11 but 12 Ƥ of fulvicornis were found in the HNHM collection. There is no reason to exclude any of these specimens from the type series of fulvicornis. The lectotype of fulvicornis (Fig. 17) has sterna and terga 2 and 6 almost entirely black. The 11 specimens now remaining (all labelled as paralectotypes) show a rather wide variation in the extent of the pale colouration: the antenna may become rather dark (Fig. 18) and the abdomen much more extensively marked with yellow (Fig. 19). See also under Allantus sanguinolentus.

description: The geometric phases of the cyclic states of a generalized harmonic oscillator with nonadiabatic time-periodic parameters are discussed in the framework of squeezed state. A class of cyclic states are expressed as a superposition of an infinte number of squeezed states. Then, their geometric phases are obtained explicitly and found to be $-(n+1/2)$ times the classical nonadiabatic Hannay angle. It is shown that the analysis based on squeezed state approach provide a clear picture of the geometric meaning of the quantal phase.

description: Gold Fields La Cima S.A. (GFLC) owns and operates the Cerro Corona gold and copper mine in the Cajamarca district of Peru. The Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) includes a centreline constructed zoned rockfill dam with an ultimate height of 163 meters. The surveillance program for the dam includes Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) monitoring, which has been incorporated into the project’s Trigger Action Response Plan (TARP). The approach used to assess TARP compliance has evolved with time to incorporate the performance objectives defined for the TSF Dam and adjacent structures, and incorporate filtering methods to mitigate pixel noise while maintaining the ability to identify areas with variations in deformation behaviour. InSAR and satellite monitoring have also proven beneficial in evaluating historical dam performance and operational monitoring. Additionally, the surveillance program at the mine was expanded to include satellite imagery to monitor the TSF pond area and location and subaerial tailings beach lengths, which are then compared with operational objectives and TARP requirements. A key component of successfully implementing InSAR and satellite monitoring in this project was frequent communication between the InSAR service provider, the EOR, and the mine owner. This resulted in the EOR and mine owner gaining an increased understanding of InSAR technology and monitoring results, and the provider gained better understanding of how the data is used at the site. Through this coordination, the monitoring approach and delivery of results have evolved with time to better meet the project’s needs. InSAR is now an integral part of the dam safety management system at the project. This paper reviews the approach used to incorporate InSAR monitoring into the existing site monitoring program, a review of InSAR-based dam performance, a summary of the lessons learned, and recommendations for implementing InSAR at other projects.

description: The Erdős discrepancy problem, now a theorem by T. Tao, asks whether every sequence with values plus or minus one has unbounded discrepancy along all homogeneous arithmetic progressions. We establish weighted variants of this problem, for weights given either by structured sequences that enjoy some irrationality features, or certain random sequences. As an intermediate result, we establish unboundedness of weighted sums of bounded multiplicative functions and products of shifts of such functions. A key ingredient in our analysis for the structured weights, is a structural result for measure preserving systems naturally associated with bounded multiplicative functions that was recently obtained in joint work with B. Host.

description: This research takes a closer look at the effects of climate change on New Zealand agriculture and on the wider economy, including indirect international effects such as changes in the prices of goods exported from and imported to New Zealand, as well as carbon prices and policies. Economic loss from short term catastrophic events such floods and landslides is not investigated. Infometrics (2007) presented an initial quantitative analysis of some of the above issues. In this paper they update the part of that report that looked at the effect of climate change on agricultural commodity prices, by considering some new scenarios based on international research since 2007, and expand the time-period from 2025 to 2070.

description: This dissertation is a study of the social dimensions and implications of the smart city, a new kind of urbanism that augments the city’s existing infrastructures with sensors, wireless communication, and software algorithms to generate unprecedented reams of real-time data. It investigates how smartness reshapes civic ties, and transforms the ways of seeing and governing urban centers long-plagued by racial and economic divides. How do the uneven adoption of smart technologies and data-driven practices affect the relationship between citizens and local government? What mediates the understanding and experience of urban inequalities in a data-driven city? In what ways does data-driven local governance address or exacerbate pervasive divides? The dissertation addresses these questions through three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Kansas City, where residents and public officials have partnered with Google and Cisco to test a gigabit internet service and a smart city program respectively.
      I show that the foray of tech companies into cities not only changes how urban problems are identified, but also reproduces civic divides. Young, middle-class, white residents embrace the smart city with the goal of turning the city’s problems into an economic opportunity, while already-vulnerable residents are reluctant to adopt what they perceive as surveillance technologies. This divide widens when data-driven practices of the smart city compel public officials and entrepreneurial residents to feign deliberate ignorance against longstanding issues and familiar solutions, or explore spurious connections between different datasets due to their assumptions about how creative breakthroughs surface in the smart city. These enthusiasts hope to discover connections they did not know existed, but their practices perpetuate existing stereotypes and miss underlying patterns in urban inequalities.
      By teasing out the intertwined relationships among tech giants, federal/local governments, local entrepreneurial groups, civic tech organizations, and nonprofits, this research demonstrates how the interests and cultural techniques of the contemporary tech industry seep into age-old practices of classification, record keeping, and commensuration in governance. I find that while these new modes of knowledge production in local government restructure the ways public officials and various publics see the city, seeing like a city also shapes the possibilities and limits of governing by data.

description: A nutrient trading system is one mechanism that is currently being considered to control and reduce nutrient loss into Lake Rotorua. However this may not be the best mechanism for controlling nutrient loss from all sources. A more comprehensive system improves efficiency and decreases market power opportunities, but it can also bring increased compliance and administrative costs. This paper discusses which sources should be included in a nutrient trading system for Lake Rotorua. It examines existing systems and presents an empirical analysis to estimate the impact of including different nutrient sources.
Gravitational Waves from Coalescing Black Hole MACHO Binaries

description: If MACHOs are black holes of mass about 0.5 solar mass, they must have been formed in the early universe when the temperature was about 1 GeV. We estimate that in this case in our galaxy's halo out to about 50kpc there exist about half billion black hole binaries whose coalescence times are comparable to the age of the universe, so that the coalescence rate will be about five hundredth events/year/galaxy. This suggests that we can expect a few events/year within 15Mpc. The gravitational waves from such coalescing black hole MACHOs can be detected by the first generation of interferometers in the LIGO/VIRGO/TAMA/GEO network. Therefore, the existence of black hole MACHOs can be tested within the next five years by gravitational waves.

The Cities on the Hill: Urban Politics in National Institutions

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: subject: Political science
subject: FOS: Political science

description: The contemporary "Red-Blue" political alignment is characterized by a national divide between cities and rural areas. This urbanicity divide is stronger than it has ever been in our modern history, but it began with the development of an urban political order that changed the Democratic Party during the New Deal era. These cities, despite being the site of serious, multidimensional conflicts at home, have been remarkably cohesive in the way they represent themselves in national politics, forming "city delegations" whose members attend to more than their own district's concerns. These city delegations tend to cohesively represent a "city" interest that often coincides with what we think of as liberalism. Using evidence from Congress, where cities represented themselves within the nation, and a unique dataset measuring the urbanicity of House districts over time, this dissertation evaluates the strength of this urban political order and argues that city delegation cohesion, which is a basic strategic tool if cities are to address their urgent governance needs through action at higher levels of government, is fostered by local institutions developed to provide local political order. Importantly, these integrative institutions also helped foster the development of civil rights liberalism by linking constituencies composed largely of groups that were not natural allies on such issues. This development in turn contributed to the departure of the Southern Democratic bloc, and to our contemporary political environment. This combination--of diversity and liberalism, supported by institutions that make allies of constituencies that might easily be rivals--has significant implications for an America characterized by deep social difference and political fragmentation.

description: We study classical and quantum noncommutative cosmology with a Liouville-type scalar degree of freedom. The noncommutativity is imposed on the minisuperspace variables through a deformation of the Poisson algebra. In this paper, we investigate the effects of noncommutativity of minisuperspace variables on the accelerating behavior of the cosmic scale factor. The probability distribution in noncommutative quantum cosmology is also studied and we propose a novel candidate for interpretation of the probability distribution in terms of noncommutative arguments.

description: This paper investigates the microeconomic dynamics of the New Zealand economy using a powerful new SNZ-held dataset. For the first time, tax data covering operating performance and position (IR10), company income declarations (IR4) and sales & purchases (GST) have been combined with firm-level (LEED) employment data and Customs merchandise trade data to create a full coverage Longitudinal Business Database (LBD). We use this data to expand the available set of firm performance measures to include multi-factor productivity, profitability and export intensity. These and other performance variables are used to examine the distribution and dynamic of New Zealand firm performance, focussing on the characteristics of firms that display superior or inferior firm-level outcomes.
