description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: In brane world scenarios with a bulk scalar field between two branes it is known that 4-dimensional Einstein gravity is restored at low energies on either brane. By using a gauge-invariant gravitational and scalar perturbation formalism we extend the theory of weak gravity in the brane world scenarios to higher energies, or shorter distances. We argue that weak gravity on either brane is indistinguishable from 4-dimensional higher derivative gravity, provided that the inter-brane distance (radion) is stabilized, that the background bulk scalar field is changing near the branes and that the background bulk geometry near the branes is warped. This argument holds for a general conformal transformation to a frame in which matter on the branes is minimally coupled to the metric. In particular, Newton's constant and the coefficients of curvature-squared terms in the 4-dimensional effective action are determined up to an ambiguity of adding a Gauss-Bonnet topological term. In other words, we provide the brane-world realization of the so called $R^2$-model without utilizing a quantum theory. We discuss the appearance of composite spin-2 and spin-0 fields in addition to the graviton on the brane and point out a possibility that the spin-0 field may play the role of an effective inflaton to drive brane-world inflation. Finally, we conjecture that the sequence of higher derivative terms is an infinite series and, thus, indicates non-locality in the brane world scenarios.

Productivity Analysis

description: This paper contributes towards the economic evaluation of small farms in the tropics and demonstrates why this analysis can be both complex and unique. A Cobb-Douglas type Production Function has been developed, for a number of micro regions within the state of Rondonia, Brazil, as the basis for constructing predictive models. The models have been based on an empirical study and illustrate the relationship between the production output of a number perennial crops and certain physical and socio-economic variables. The results indicate that a significant relationship exists between output and certain constraints. In many cases, expected relationships do not exist and this is explained in the study by the unique dynamics of the small farmer situation.

description: We present X-ray, radio, and infrared observations of the 68 ms pulsar PSR J1420-6048 and its surrounding nebula, a possible counterpart of the gamma-ray source GeV J1417-6100/3EG J1420-6038. Pulsed X-ray emission at the radio period is marginally detected by ASCA from a source embedded in the hard spectrum X-ray nebula AX J1420.1-6049. At radio wavelengths, the pulsar is found to be strongly linearly and circularly polarized, and the polarization sweep is measured. A comparison of high resolution ATCA radio imaging of the Kookaburra's upper wing (G313.6+0.3), which contains the pulsar and the X-ray nebula, with infrared images suggests the radio emission is partly non-thermal.

The struggle, in utero : choice, control and trust in infertility treatment and abortion rights campaigning in Ireland

description: In May 2018, the citizens of Ireland voted to repeal the 8th amendment of the Constitution, thus overturning the ban on abortion that had been in place for over a century. The vote paved the way for a more general debate on the relationship between women, reproductive healthcare and the state, and thereby exposed deeply entrenched struggles over the equation of womanhood with motherhood in the Irish Constitution. These were particularly pressing issues because the government was in the process of writing the first legislation on infertility treatment. This thesis provides insights into an extraordinary moment of transition in the Irish social and legal landscape, ripe with uncertainty, ambiguities and possibilities. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted with staff in infertility clinics and pro-choice campaigners in Dublin between 2017 and 2018, I follow my research participants as they navigated these highly contested ‘reproductive borderlands’, a term I coin to describe the grey areas where boundaries around reproduction were drawn and redrawn. These processes centred around the question of who was recognised as a patient, something that was articulated through discourses on ‘control’ in the clinics and ‘choice’ in the campaign. My research participants presented these terms as clear-cut and unambiguous. The everyday practices in the clinics, however, revealed a more nuanced picture in which choice and control emerged as powerful rhetorical devices that were multifaceted and continuously under strain. In the face of this disjuncture, discourses on trust were a key repository for speaking about infertility and abortion, issues that were shrouded by interrelated layers of silence and stigma. Through an examination of the interface between trust and evidence in the clinics and trust and storytelling in the campaign, I develop the concept of ‘intimate violence’ to reflect on the difficult process of long-established silence being unsettled.

Classifying induced superconductivity in atomically thin Dirac-cone materials

description: Recently, Kayyalha et al. (2019 Phys. Rev. Lett. 122 047003) reported on anomalous enhancement of the self-field critical currents, Ic(sf,T), at low temperatures in Nb/BiSbTeSe2-nanoribbon/Nb Josephson junctions. The enhancement was attributed to the low-energy Andreev bound states arising from winding of the electronic wave function around the circumference of the topological insulator BiSbTeSe2 nanoribbon. In this paper, we show that identical enhancement in Ic(sf,T) and in the upper critical field, Bc2(T), at approximately same reduced temperatures, were reported by several research groups in atomically thin junctions based on a variety of Dirac-cone materials (DCM) earlier. Our analysis shows that in all these S/DCM/S systems the enhancement is due to a new superconducting band opening. Taking in account that several intrinsic superconductors also exhibit the effect of new superconducting band(s) opening when sample thickness becomes thinner than the ground state out-of-plane coherence length, we strength our previous proposal that there is a new phenomenon of additional superconducting band(s) opening in atomically thin films.

description: We calculate the interplanetary magnetic field path lengths traveled by electrons in solar electron events detected by the WIND 3DP instrument from $1994$ to $2016$. The velocity dispersion analysis method is applied for electrons at energies of $\sim$ $27$ keV to $310$ keV. Previous velocity dispersion analyses employ the onset times, which are often affected by instrumental effects and the pre-existing background flux, leading to large uncertainties. We propose a new method here. Instead of using the peak or onset time, we apply the velocity dispersion analysis to the times that correspond to the rising phase of the fluxes that are a fraction, $η$, of the peak flux. We perform statistical analysis on selected events whose calculated path lengths have uncertainties smaller than $0.1$ AU. The mean and standard deviation, ($μ$, $σ$), of the calculated path lengths corresponding to $η=$ $3/4$, $1/2$, and $1/3$ of the peak flux is ($1.17$ AU, $0.17$ AU), ($1.11$ AU, $0.14$ AU), and ($1.06$ AU, $0.15$ AU). The distribution of the calculated path lengths is also well fitted by a Gaussian distribution for the $η=3/4$ and $1/3$ cases. These results suggest that in these electron events the interplanetary magnetic field topology is close to the nominal Parker spiral with little field line meandering. Our results have important implications for particles' perpendicular diffusion.

description: BACKGROUND: Carotid pseudoaneurysms are extremely rare, and their inherent instability and unpredictability require prompt evaluation and intervention to mitigate potential neurological complications or prevent life-threatening bleeding and airway obstruction. We present a case report of spontaneous internal carotid artery (ICA) rupture.

CASE REPORT: An eighty-eight-year-old male with a history of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and adenocarcinoma of the rectum presented with a spontaneous rupture of the left ICA. Bleeding control was achieved by deploying a 7mm self-expandable stent graft (Viabhan®) in the ICA through a transcervical approach. Control computed tomography angiography at 24 hours revealed a "type 1 endoleak" with contrast leak filling from the proximal landing zone. A transfemoral approach was used for external carotid artery ostial occlusion using an 8mm vascular plug, followed by stent graft extension to the common carotid artery. Blood cultures were positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the patient completed nine weeks of directed antibiotic therapy. There was a recurrence of rupture by the 5th month of follow-up, controlled once again with a distal extension with an 8mm Viabahn®. The patient died on the 7th postoperative day due to nosocomial pneumonia.

CONCLUSION: This report highlights the complexity of managing carotid ruptures and pseudoaneurysms, emphasizing the potential of endovascular therapy to reduce morbidity. While endovascular treatment is a viable option for frail patients, considering long-term implications is essential. Balancing short-term benefits with potential medium- and long-term complications remains critical to the decision-making process.

description: Massive expansion in educational programmes has been reported for Sub-Sahara African (SSA) countries in recent years. Yet, the economic role of education in agriculture – the main source of livelihood for the majority of SSA population is still debatable. The purpose of this paper is to provide empirical evidence on how formal education affects smallholder crop production systems in Africa. The analysis uses 1997/98 farm management survey data on 60 randomly selected rural households from Botswana. It is concluded from the results that education has a positive and significant effect on crop incomes of smallholder traditional farmers. Therefore, continuing investments in education among SSA countries are important and warrant supportive government action to improve the lives of millions of peasant farmers in SSA.

description: Policy formulation in relation to rural development requires research on rural household consumption behaviour and patterns. In this paper research implications of consumption function theory in relation to rural household expenditures are briefly outlined and results of a cross-section analysis of seven expenditure categories of food plot holders at Tyefu Irrigation Scheme are reported. Consumption function parameters are estimated by ordinary least square method of regression of farm account data. The analysis reveals that the sampled food plot holders have a marginal propensity to consume of (0.349) as well as average propensity to consume of (0.652). Family characteristics (used as explanatory variables) such as age distribution and family size vary in their ability to explain expenditure patterns depending upon types of commodity. Further research will help to rigorously assess the impact of additional forces such as education, location, farm assets, etc. upon the standard of living of farm people.

description: The Small Grain and Grain Crops Institutes, both of the Agricultural Research Council, found that the gross margin of maize monoculture was higher than any other crop rotation system tested in a trial. In this paper the effect of different crop rotation systems on net cash flows are quantified. A whole farm simulation model that incorporates risk was used for this purpose. From a net cash flow point of view maize monoculture was found to be the riskiest. However, the choice of a crop rotation system depends on the risk preference of the decisionmaker since higher risks are also associated with higher profits.
Modified General Relativity and quantum theory in curved spacetime

description: With appropriate modifications, the multi-spin Klein-Gordon (KG) equation of quantum field theory can be adapted to curved spacetime for spins 0,1,1/2. The associated particles in the microworld then move as a wave at all spacetime coordinates. From the existence in a Lorentzian spacetime of a line element field $(X^β,-X^β) $, the spin-1 KG equation $\nabla_μ\nabla^μX^β=k^{2}X^β $ is derived from an action functional involving $X^β $ and its covariant derivative. The spin-0 KG equation and the KG equation of the outer product of a spin-1/2 Dirac spinor and its Hermitian conjugate are then constructed. Thus, $ X^β $ acts as a fundamental quantum vector field. The symmetric part of the spin-1 KG equation, $ \tilde{\varPsi}_{αβ}$, is the Lie derivative of the metric. That links the multi-spin Klein-Gordon equation to Modified General Relativity (MGR) through its energy-momentum tensor of the gravitational field. From the invariance of the action functionals under the diffeomorphism group Diff(M), which is not restricted to the Lorentz group, $ \tilde{\varPsi}_{αβ}$ can instantaneously transmit information along $ X^β $. That establishes the concept of entanglement within a Lorentzian formalism. The respective local/nonlocal characteristics of MGR and quantum theory no longer present an insurmountable problem to unify the theories.

description: The issue of US ratification of international environmental treaties is a recurring obstacle for environmental multilateralism, including the climate regime. Despite the perceived importance of the role of the US to the success of any future international climate agreement, there has been little direct coverage in terms of how an effective agreement can specifically address US legal participation. This paper explores potential ways of allowing for US legal participation in an effective climate treaty. Possible routes forward include the use of domestic legislation such as section 115 (S115) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), and the use of sole-executive agreements, instead of Senate ratification. Legal participation from the US through sole-executive agreements is possible if the international architecture is designed to allow for their use. Architectural elements such as varying legality and participation across an agreement (variable geometry) could allow for the use of sole-executive agreements. Two broader models for a 2015 agreement with legal participation through sole-executive agreements are constructed based upon these options: a modified pledge and review system and a form of variable geometry composed of number of opt-out, voting based protocols on specific issues accompanied with bilateral agreements on mitigation commitments with other major emitters through the use of S115 and sole-executive agreements under the Montreal Protocol and Chicago Convention (Critical Mass Governance). While there is no single solution, Critical Mass Governance appears to provide the optimum combination of tools to effectively allow for US legal participation whilst ensuring an effective treaty.

description: The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) has been the dominant approach among economists to modeling aggregate pollution emissions and ambient pollution concentrations over the last quarter century. Despite this, the EKC was criticized almost from the start and decomposition approaches have been more popular in other disciplines working on global climate change. More recently, convergence approaches to modeling emissions have become popular. This paper reviews the history of the EKC and alternative approaches. Applying an approach that synthesizes the EKC and convergence approaches, I show that convergence is important for explaining both pollution emissions and concentrations. On the other hand, while economic growth has had a monotonic positive effect on carbon and sulfur emissions, the EKC holds for concentrations of particulates. Negative time effects are important for sulfur emissions. The EKC seems to be most useful for modeling the ambient concentrations of pollutants it was originally applied to.

description: Whether China continues its business-as-usual investment-driven, environment-polluting growth pattern or adopts an investment and innovation-driven, environmentally sustainable development holds important implications for both national and global environmental governance. Building on a Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans growth model that features endogenous technological change induced by R&D and knowledge stock accumulation, this paper presents an exposition, both analytically and numerically, of the mechanism underlining China’s economic transition from an investment-driven, pollution-intensive to an investment and innovation-driven, environmentally sustainable growth path. We show that if R&D technological innovation is incorporated into China’s growth mechanism, then at some tipping point in time when marginal welfare gain of R&D for knowledge accumulation becomes equalized with that of investment for physical asset deployment, China’s economy will launch capital investment and R&D simultaneously and make a transition to a sustainable growth path along which consumption, capital investment, and R&D have a balanced share of 5: 4: 1, consumption, capital stock, and knowledge stock all grow at a rate of 4.9%, and environmental quality improves at a rate of 2.5%. In contrast, if R&D technological innovation is not harnessed as a new growth engine, then China’s economy will follow its business-as-usual investment-driven growth path along which standalone accumulation of dirty physical capital stock will lead to a more than 200-fold increase in environmental pollution.

description: We analyze observational constraints from TeV astrophysics on Lorentz violating nonlinear dispersion for photons and electrons without assuming any a priori equality between the photon and electron parameters. The constraints arise from thresholds for vacuum Cerenkov radiation, photon decay and photo-production of electron-positron pairs. We show that the parameter plane for cubic momentum terms in the dispersion relations is constrained to an order unity region in Planck units. We find that the threshold configuration can occur with an asymmetric distribution of momentum for pair creation, and with a hard photon for vacuum Cerenkov radiation.

description: BACKGROUND: Surgical resection remains the cornerstone for the curative treatment of malignant tumors, such as pancreatic adenocarcinomas. Pancreaticoduodenectomy with vascular reconstruction is a promising approach for tumors invading the portomesenteric vein, and an aggressive surgical approach can improve survival in the mid- and long terms. Thus, vascular surgeons have an increasing role in these surgeries. Therefore, we describe our recent and initial experience and efforts to grow as a true team to offer a better and more systematic response to these patients.

 

CASE REPORTS: We present two cases of 68 and 69-year-old female patients, both with pancreatic head adenocarcinoma. In the first case, during the pancreaticoduodenectomy, a 4 cm long involvement of the portomesenteric vein in 50% of its circumference was denoted. The choice for reconstruction after tumor resection was a primary repair with a Dacron patch. In the second case, the resection was programmed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and a circumferential involvement of the portomesenteric vein in a long extension was observed, requiring an extensive venous reconstruction with an interposition graft (Dacron - 8mm) with splenic vein reimplantation.
In both cases, disease-free margins were achieved, and no mortality was registered within 30 days after surgery.

 

CONCLUSIONS: With these two initial cases, we concluded that good results can be achieved. Our center's team is working to preoperatively delineate our strategy for treating these complex patients, choosing optimal vascular reconstructive options tailored to each patient. Recently, a bovine pericardium patch became available in our institution, which is a good alternative to avoid additional operative time and reduce the infection risk associated with synthetic material use.

Evolution of star formation rate-density relation over cosmic time in a simulated universe: the observed reversal reproduced

description: We use the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulation to study the evolution of star formation rate (SFR)-density relation over cosmic time. We construct several samples of galaxies at different redshifts from $z=2.0$ to $z=0.0$, which have the same comoving number density. The SFR of galaxies decreases with local density at $z=0.0$, but its dependence on local density becomes weaker with redshift. At $z\gtrsim1.0$, the SFR of galaxies increases with local density (reversal of the SFR-density relation), and its dependence becomes stronger with redshift. This change of SFR-density relation with redshift still remains even when fixing the stellar masses of galaxies. The dependence of SFR on the distance to a galaxy cluster also shows a change with redshift in a way similar to the case based on local density, but the reversal happens at a higher redshift, $z\sim1.5$, in clusters. On the other hand, the molecular gas fraction always decreases with local density regardless of redshift at $z=0.0-2.0$ even though the dependence becomes weaker when we fix the stellar mass. Our study demonstrates that the observed reversal of the SFR-density relation at $z\gtrsim1.0$ can be successfully reproduced in cosmological simulations. Our results are consistent with the idea that massive, star-forming galaxies are strongly clustered at high redshifts, forming larger structures. These galaxies then consume their gas faster than those in low-density regions through frequent interactions with other galaxies, ending up being quiescent in the local universe.

description: Meta-analyses of interfuel and capital-energy elasticities of substitution show that elasticity estimates are dependent on the type of data – time series, panel, or crosssection – and the estimators used. Econometric theory suggests that the between estimator might generate the best estimates of long-run elasticities but no existing estimates of elasticities of substitution have used it. Alternatively, Chirinko et al. argued in favor of estimating long-run elasticities of substitution using a long-run difference estimator. We provide estimates of China’s interfuel and interfactor elasticities of substitution using the between and long-run difference estimators. To address potential omitted variables bias, we add province level inefficiency and national technological change terms to our regression model. The results show that demand for coal and electricity in China is very inelastic, while demand for diesel and gasoline is elastic. With the exception of gasoline and diesel, there are limited substitution possibilities among the fuels. Substitution possibilities are greater between energy and labor than between energy and capital. The results are quite different to some previous studies for China but coincide well with the patterns found in meta-analyses for long-run estimates of elasticities of substitution.

description: Focusing scattered light using wavefront shaping provides interesting perspectives to image deep in opaque samples, as e.g. in nonlinear fluorescence microscopy. Applying these technics to in vivo imaging remains challenging due to the short decorrelation time of the speckle in depth, as focusing and imaging has to be achieved within the order of the decorrelation time. In this paper, we experimentally study the focus lifetime after focusing through dynamical scattering media, when iterative wavefront optimization and speckle decorrelation occur over the same timescale. We show experimental situations with heterogeneous stability of the scattering sequences, where the focus presents significantly higher stability than the surrounding speckle.

Deformations of Bi-conformal Energy and a new Characterization of Quasiconformality

description: The concept of hyperelastic deformations of bi-conformal energy is developed as an extension of quasiconformality. These are homeomorphisms $h:X \to Y$ between domains $ X, Y \subset \mathbb R^n$ of the Sobolev class $W^{1,n}_{loc} (X, Y)$ whose inverse $f =h^{-1}:Y \to X$ also belongs to $W^{1,n}_{loc}(Y, X)$. Thus the paper opens new topics in Geometric Function Theory with connections to mathematical models of Nonlinear Elasticity. In seeking differences and similarities with quasiconformal mappings we examine closely the modulus of continuity of deformations of bi-conformal energy. This leads us to a new characterization of quasiconformality. Specifically, it is observed that quasiconformal mappings behave locally at every point like radial stretchings. Without going into detail, if a quasiconformal map $h$ admits a function $ϕ$ as its optimal modulus of continuity at a point $x_0$, then $f = h^{-1}$ admits the inverse function $ψ= ϕ^{-1}$ as its modulus of continuity at $y_0 = h(x_0)$. That is to say; a poor continuity of $h$ at a given point $x_0$ is always compensated by a better continuity of $f$ at $y_0$, and vice versa. Such a gain/loss property, seemingly overlooked by many authors, is actually characteristic of quasiconformal mappings. It turns out that the elastic deformations of bi-conformal energy are very different in this respect. Unexpectedly, such a map may have the same optimal modulus of continuity as its inverse deformation. In line with Hooke's Law, when trying to restore the original shape of the body (by the inverse transformation) the modulus of continuity may neither be improved nor become worse. However, examples to confirm this phenomenon are far from being obvious. We eventually hope that our examples will gain an interest in the materials science, particularly in mathematical models of hyperelasticity.

description: Aims: Our scientific goal is to provide revised membership lists of the Alpha Per, Pleiades, and Praesepe clusters exploiting the second data release of Gaia and produce five-dimensional maps (ra, dec, parallax, pmRA, pmDEC) of these clusters. Methods: We implemented the kinematic method combined with the statistical treatment of parallaxes and proper motions to identify astrometric member candidates of three of the most nearby and best studied open clusters in the sky. Results: We cross-correlated the Gaia catalogue with large-scale public surveys to complement the astrometry of Gaia with multi-band photometry from the optical to the mid-infrared. We identified 517, 1248, and 721 bona-fide astrometric member candidates inside the tidal radius of the Alpha Per, the Pleiades, and Praesepe, respectively. We cross-matched our final samples with catalogues from previous surveys to address the level of completeness. We update the main physical properties of the clusters, including mean distance and velocity as well as core, half-mass, and tidal radii. We infer updated ages from the white dwarf members of the Pleiades and Praesepe. We derive the luminosity and mass functions of the three clusters and compare them to the field mass function. We compute the positions in space of all member candidates in the three regions to investigate their distribution in space. Conclusions: We provide updated distances and kinematics for the three clusters. We identify a list of members in the Alpha Per, Pleiades, and Praesepe clusters from the most massive stars all the way down into the hydrogen-burning limit with a higher confidence and better astrometry than previous studies. We produce complete 5D maps of stellar and substellar bona-fide members in these three regions. ABRIDGED
