description: We give a systematic and thorough study of geometric notions and results connected to Minkowski's measure of symmetry and the extension of the well-known Minkowski functional to arbitrary, not necessarily symmetric convex bodies K on any (real) normed space X. Although many of the notions and results we treat in this paper can be found elsewhere in the literature, they are scattered and possibly hard to find. Further, we are not aware of a systematic study of this kind and we feel that several features, connections and properties - e.g. the connections between many equivalent formulations - are new, more general and they are put in a better perspective now. In particular, we prove a number of fundamental properties of the extended Minkowski functional, including convexity, global Lipschitz boundedness, linear growth and approximation of the classical Minkowski functional of the central symmetrization of the body K. Our aim is to present how in the recent years these notions proved to be surprisingly relevant and effective in problems of approximation theory.

description: Traditional monitoring and evaluation tools are often costly and are not well placed to assess complex, multi-dimensional dynamic livelihood attributes, such as resilience. While these approaches may be accurate in measurement, they often fail to empower respondents to take action. Drawbacks of other participatory resilience approaches include a requirement for a large amount of information, significant time required to administer surveys, and data analysis burdens (Schipper and Langston 2015, 19; COP 2016). They also need a baseline and an end line to assess change. They typically fail to capture how farmers actively address specific shocks and stresses or what lessons can be learned. Given these limitations, an opportunity exists to review alternative approaches and develop different tools. Our approach and tool, farmbetter, attempts to build on lessons learned from developing and implementing these tools. Rather than characterizing the user as lacking agency in a challenging environment, farmbetter helps users make conscious decisions to adapt and withstand specific shocks and stresses such as floods, drought, or conflict, which can require contradictory coping strategies. We aim to then further connect farmers whose properties have similar agro-ecological conditions and challenges to better facilitate knowledge-sharing between food producers, ultimately improving learning and resilience. This allows for the connection of big data with (traditional) knowledge and competences already being used by farmers to improve resilience. This is enabled by advances in technology (e.g. mobile phone availability), which offer new opportunities to more easily and cheaply collect data as well as giving access to marginalized groups’ views and knowledge (e.g. Raghavan et al. 2016).

description: The cross section of the $ep \to e' p' γ$ reaction has been measured at $Q^2 = 0.33$ (GeV/c)$^2$. The experiment was performed using the electron beam of the MAMI accelerator and the standard detector setup of the A1 Collaboration. The cross section is analyzed using the low-energy theorem for virtual Compton scattering, yielding a new determination of the two structure functions $P_LL}-P_{TT}/epsilon$ and $P_{LT}$ which are linear combinations of the generalized polarizabilities of the proton. We find somewhat larger values than in the previous investigation at the same $Q^2$. This difference, however, is purely due to our more refined analysis of the data. The results tend to confirm the non-trivial $Q^2$-evolution of the generalized polarizabilities and call for more measurements in the low-$Q^2$ region ($\le$ 1 (GeV/c)$^2$).

description: Imprints of spinor-vector dualities have been uncovered in various string constructions. They are typically induced by changing certain free general GSO phases in the underlying string partition functions. This paper shows that spinor-vector dualities in six dimensions are constrained by a fundamental effective field theory consistency condition, namely that any six dimensional low energy theory must be free of irreducible SO(2N) anomalies. Aspects of spinor-vector dualities are analysed in four six-dimensional free fermionic models which are distinguished by two generalised GSO phases. In addition, the constraint on the number of spinors and vectors is confirmed on generic spectra which may occur in K3 line bundle compactifications of the heterotic E8xE8 string.

description: Titus Livius (Livy) is mentioning some eclipses in his monumental history of Rome, entitled Ab Urbe Condita Libri. For two of these eclipses, Livy is also reporting the dates. One occurred during the Ludi Apollinares, in the year of the consulship of Lucius Cornelius. Livy dated the eclipse 11 Quintilis. Astronomy dated it 14 March 190 BC (Julian date). The other eclipse is that at the time of the Pydna battle and it is the lunar eclipse of 21 June 168 BC (Julian date). Livy tells that it occurred during the night between 3 and 4 September. The differences between astronomical and historical dates are due to the manner the lunisolar Roman republican calendar was managed in that period by the college of Roman pontifices. Here we discuss the eclipses reported by Livy to point out the problems of the Roman chronology, when it is involving the republican calendar.
Kinetic Analysis of Discrete Path Sampling Stationary Point Databases

description: Analysing stationary point databases to extract phenomenological rate constants can become time-consuming for systems with large potential energy barriers. In the present contribution we analyse several different approaches to this problem. First, we show how the original rate constant prescription within the discrete path sampling approach can be rewritten in terms of committor probabilities. Two alternative formulations are then derived in which the steady-state assumption for intervening minima is removed, providing both a more accurate kinetic analysis, and a measure of whether a two-state description is appropriate. The first approach involves running additional short kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) trajectories, which are used to calculate waiting times. Here we introduce `leapfrog' moves to second-neighbour minima, which prevent the KMC trajectory oscillating between structures separated by low barriers. In the second approach we successively remove minima from the intervening set, renormalising the branching probabilities and waiting times to preserve the mean first-passage times of interest. Regrouping the local minima appropriately is also shown to speed up the kinetic analysis dramatically at low temperatures. Applications are described where rates are extracted for databases containing tens of thousands of stationary points, with effective barriers that are several hundred times kT.

description: The Government of Ontario has unveiled the underlying legal framework for its cap-and-trade program. Like the European Union Emissions Trading System, the proposed Act places a cap on carbon emissions and facilitates the trading of pollution allowances. The ultimate objectives of the Act are to reduce the emission of GHGs, while providing financial incentives to businesses. This article assesses the proposed Act with respect to the criteria of a robust cap-and trade system, including: effectiveness; comprehensiveness; transparency and fairness; and offset eligibility.

description: The interfacial structures and interactions of two-dimensional (2D) materials on solid substrates are of fundamental importance for the fabrication and application of 2D materials. However, selection of a suitable solid substrate to grow 2D material, determination and control of the 2D material-substrate interface remain a big challenge due to the large diversity of possible configurations. Here, we propose a computational framework to select an appropriate substrate for epitaxial growth of 2D material and to predict possible 2D material-substrate interface structures and orientations using density functional theory calculations performed for all non-equivalent atomic structures satisfying the symmetry constraints. The approach was validated by the correct prediction of three experimentally reported 2D material-substrate interface systems with only the given information of two parent materials. Several possible interface configurations are also proposed based on this approach. We therefore construct a database that contains these interface systems and has been continuously expanding. This database serves as preliminary guidance for epitaxial growth and stabilization of new materials in experiments.
“My One Story is Hunger”: il languore metafisico delle protagoniste di Anzia Yezierska

description: This essay focuses on “hunger”, the Leitmotif of Anzia Yezierska's literary production, a powerful mixture of feelings experienced by her protagonists, Jewish women born and raised in the poverty and oppression of the shtetlach under the Czarist domination, who fled to America in the 1880s to look for opportunities of freedom, spiritual development and personal growth that they believed they could find only in the New World. Sadly, their longing turns out to be a metaphysical one that can never be satisfied, which consigns them to a destiny of messianic wait and unfulfilled desire where hunger remains the only possible existential dimension, i.e. their one story.

Resolving Conflicts Between Endangered Species Conservation and Renewable Energy Siting: Wiggle Room for Renewables?
Creators: name: Badichek, Gregg
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: Two federal policies—the protection of endangered species, and the rapid creation of renewable energy infrastructure—currently exist in significant legal tension. While both are important for the development of necessary sustainability, climate change induced by the continuous burning of carbon-based fuels likely poses a greater threat to endangered species than does the growth of commercial-scale renewable energy sites. This paper outlines several points of conflict between the two policies and subsequently considers the extent to which federal agencies responsible for renewable energy oversight and development possess “wiggle room” under the Endangered Species Act. A few recommendations for greater leeway are then offered.

Examining the Validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve
Creators: name: Karsch, Nicole Marie
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: This research essay analyzes the environmental Kuznets curve, the first hypothesis to make the correlation between economic development, environmental clean-up, and the Kuznets Curve. In essence, the EKC states that environmental quality deteriorates in the initial stages of a country’s economic development, but once a particular average income is reached that this trend will reverse and environmental degradation will begin to slow down considerably. Thus, rather than being a threat to the environment, economic growth would actually be the means to eventual environmental improvement. Although proponents of the EKC have shown some empirical evidence suggesting that rising income levels in developing countries can be advantageous rather than detrimental for the environment, this article demonstrates that there is no guarantee that economic growth will lead to an improved environment. More specifically, this essay proves that the notion that income growth by itself will be beneficial for the environment is fictitious, as a causal relationship between income and environmental quality cannot be consistently demonstrated.

The Coastal Zone Management Act: A Mixed Success
Creators: name: Garten, Lindsay
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: Coastal zones in the United States are becoming overpopulated and underlying ecosystems are being degraded. The ecosystem services that coastal zones provide will be compromised if we follow the current management path. As the population in these areas increases, so too does the amount of non-point source pollution. Integrated coastal zone management programs are needed to address non-point source pollution. Coastal zones are also in peril due to the current projections of sea level rise caused by climate change. A precautionary approach, such as that employed in Australia and New Zealand, must be used to protect coastal zones from the effects of global warming. The Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) of 1972 was created to preserve and protect coastal areas from pollution and overpopulation. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of the CZMA and the challenges it will face going forward.

description: We present the results of a deep K_s-band (2.1 um) imaging survey of the Spitzer/HETDEX Exploratory Large Area (SHELA) field using the NEWFIRM near-infrared (NIR) camera on the KPNO Mayall 4-m telescope. This NEWFIRM HETDEX Survey (NHS) reaches a 5-sigma depth of 22.4 AB mag (2"-diameter apertures corrected to total), is ~50% and 90% complete at K~22.65 and K~22.15, respectively, and covers 22 deg^2 of the 24 deg^2 SHELA Spitzer/ IRAC footprint (within ``Stripe 82' of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey). We present a K_s-band-selected catalog which includes deep ugriz imaging from the Dark Energy Camera and 3.6 and 4.5 um imaging from Spitzer/IRAC, with forced-photometry of 1.7 million sources across 17.5 deg^2. The large area and moderate depth of this catalog enables the study of the most massive galaxies at high redshift, and minimizes uncertainties associated with counting statistics and cosmic variance. As a demonstration, we derive stellar masses (M*) and star-formation rates (SFRs) for candidate galaxies at 3 < z < 5, and select a conservative sample of nine candidate massive (M* > 10^11 Msol) quiescent galaxies, which have measured SFRs significantly below the main-sequence at this redshift. Five are ultra-massive with M* > 10^12, though uncertainties in IRAC blending, gravitational lensing, or AGN emission could result in true masses which are lower. Simulations predict that these galaxies should be extremely rare, thus we discuss what physical processes in models could be altered to allow the formation of such massive quiescent galaxies at such early times.

description: We investigate a generalized two-dimensional Weyl Hamiltonian, which may describe the low-energy properties of mechanically deformed graphene and of the organic compound alpha-(BEDT-TTF)_2I_3 under pressure. The associated dispersion has generically the form of tilted anisotropic Dirac cones. The tilt arises due to next-nearest-neighbor hopping when the Dirac points, where the valence band touches the conduction band, do not coincide with crystallographic high-symmetry points within the first Brillouin zone. Within a semiclassical treatment, we describe the formation of Landau levels in a strong magnetic field, the relativistic form of which is reminiscent to that of graphene, with a renormalized Fermi velocity due to the tilt of the Dirac cones. These relativistic Landau levels, experimentally accessible via spectroscopy or even a quantum Hall effect measurement, may be used as a direct experimental verification of Dirac cones in alpha-(BEDT-TTF)_2I_3.

description: We study a dark matter halo model from two points of view: the ``stellar polytrope'' (SP) model coming from Tsallis' thermodynamics, and the one coming from the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) paradigm. We make an appropriate comparison between both halo models and analyzing the relations between the global physical parameters of observed galactic disks, coming from a sample of actual galaxies, with the ones of the unobserved dark matter halos, we conclude that the SP model is favored over the NFW model in such a comparison.

description: RESUMO

O presente artigo – Proposta para a Implementação da Cadeira de Língua Portuguesa no Curso de Docência em Ensino Policial, na Academia de Polícia, Comandante Santana André Pitra “Petroff” – aborda situações relacionadas à importância da Língua Portuguesa (LP) nas instituições de ensino policial. O principal objectivo é propor a sua implementação como unidade curricular no Curso de Docência em Ensino Policial (CDEP), na Academia de Polícia (ACADEPOL), Comandante Santana André Pitra “Petroff”. Metodologicamente, servimo-nos de um estudo quantitativo, essencialmente à base das pesquisas bibliográfica e documental, cujo tratamento para a recolha dos dados foi possível mediante um inquérito por questionário submetido aos membros de direcção da instituição e aos respectivos professores, tendo constatado que a grelha de cadeiras que compõem o plano curricular desse curso não contempla a cadeira de LP que, em diferentes instituições de ensino, geralmente se afigura como transversal e necessária para a aprendizagem e domínio de outras matérias curriculares. Por via do inquérito por questionário, pudemos inferir que a elaboração do plano curricular não foi consensual, porquanto alguns inquiridos (membros de direcção e professores) não sabiam da inexistência da cadeira no referido plano curricular. Todavia, os inquiridos reconhecem a importância da mesma e recomendam a sua implementação.

The Complementarity of Improving Quality of Life and Reducing Environmental Footprints in Urban Spaces: The Argument for ‘Hedonistic Sustainability’
Creators: name: Mohtadi, Tara
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: In recent decades, the phenomena of urbanization and globalization have transformed cities into of technology, innovation, wealth and human capital. Cities have become spaces of high environmental destruction, and concurrently, frontrunner of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. The urban landscape consists of a complex network of actors, requiring an integrative and adaptive approach to be taken when considering sustainability and environmental soundness. Much of the sustainability discourse focuses on functionality, sacrifice, and often, individual lifestyle changes. This paper seeks to challenge that perspective by proposing that a collectivistic approach with implications of prosperity can optimize urban adaptation, remediation, and expansion amidst the agglomerations threat of climate change.

Growth, incidence of bacterial kidney disease and immunological function of salmonids reared in captivity

description: Pacific salmon reared commercially off of the Coast of British Columbia suffer great mortality losses to Bacterial Kidney Disease (BKD), caused by the diplobacillus bacterium Renibacterium salmqninarum. This thesis investigates the effects of environmental conditions on the growth performance and disease susceptibility of salmonids reared in captivity. I found that growth rate of chinook salmon was significantly higher in fish fed to 100 compared to 67 % of satiation during the first 175 days of saltwater rearing but not during the first winter. Feed coversion rate was significantly higher for fish fed at 100 % of satiation compared to 67 % of satiation and higher during the winter compared to summer and fall, irrespective of feeding level. Mortality rates were significantly higher during the summer than during the fall or winter, irrespective of experimental treatment. The last BKD sampling period (day 263) revealed that infection rates were directly proportional to stocking densities of 1.5 to 4 kg.m⁻₃. Hatchery-reared chinook salmon held in freshwater aquaria had significantly lower hematocrit and plasma cortisol concentration increases in response to increased stocking density than did their wild counterparts. Crowding of hatchery-reared and wild chinook salmon resulted in equally increased mortality rates for both groups of fish. Day 33 plasma cortisol concentrations in Atlantic salmon held at three stocking densities were directly proportional to stocking densities of 8 to 64 kg.m⁻₃. The ability of anterior kidney lymphocytes from these fish to produce antibody-producing cells was inversely proportional to the density at which the fish were held.

description: In the present paper we derive two well-known integrable cases of rigid body dynamics (the Lagrange top and the Clebsch system) performing an algebraic contraction on the two-body Lax matrices governing the (classical) su(2) Gaudin models. The procedure preserves the linear r-matrix formulation of the ancestor models. We give the Lax representation of the resulting integrable systems in terms of su(2) Lax matrices with rational and elliptic dependencies on the spectral parameter. We finally give some results about the many-body extensions of the constructed systems.

Personalized Adaptive Cruise Control and Impacts on Mixed Traffic

description: This paper presents a personalized adaptive cruise control (PACC) design that can learn driver behavior and adaptively control the semi-autonomous vehicle (SAV) in the car-following scenario, and investigates its impacts on mixed traffic. In mixed traffic where the SAV and human-driven vehicles share the road, the SAV's driver can choose a PACC tuning that better fits the driver's preferred driving behaviors. The individual driver's preferences are learned through the inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) approach by recovering a unique cost function from the driver's demonstrated driving data that best explains the observed driving style. The proposed PACC design plans the motion of the SAV by minimizing the learned unique cost function considering the short preview information of the preceding human-driven vehicle. The results reveal that the learned driver model can identify and replicate the personalized driving behaviors accurately and consistently when following the preceding vehicle in a variety of traffic conditions. Furthermore, we investigated the impacts of the PACC with different drivers on mixed traffic by considering time headway, gap distance, and fuel economy assessments. A statistical investigation shows that the impacts of the PACC on mixed traffic vary among tested drivers due to their intrinsic driving preferences.

description: The human ability to track musical downbeats is robust to changes in tempo, and it extends to tempi never previously encountered. We propose a deterministic time-warping operation that enables this skill in a convolutional neural network (CNN) by allowing the network to learn rhythmic patterns independently of tempo. Unlike conventional deep learning approaches, which learn rhythmic patterns at the tempi present in the training dataset, the patterns learned in our model are tempo-invariant, leading to better tempo generalisation and more efficient usage of the network capacity. We test the generalisation property on a synthetic dataset created by rendering the Groove MIDI Dataset using FluidSynth, split into a training set containing the original performances and a test set containing tempo-scaled versions rendered with different SoundFonts (test-time augmentation). The proposed model generalises nearly perfectly to unseen tempi (F-measure of 0.89 on both training and test sets), whereas a comparable conventional CNN achieves similar accuracy only for the training set (0.89) and drops to 0.54 on the test set. The generalisation advantage of the proposed model extends to real music, as shown by results on the GTZAN and Ballroom datasets.

description: A promising channel for producing binary black hole mergers is the Lidov-Kozai orbital resonance in hierarchical triple systems. While this mechanism has been studied in isolation, the distribution of such mergers in time and across star-forming environments is not well characterized. In this work, we explore Lidov-Kozai-induced black hole mergers in open clusters, combining semi-analytic and Monte Carlo methods to calculate merger rates and delay times for eight different population models. We predict a merger rate density of $\sim$1--10\,Gpc$^{-3}$\,yr$^{-1}$ for the Lidov-Kozai channel in the local universe, and all models yield delay-time distributions in which a significant fraction of binary black hole mergers (e.g., $\sim$20\%--50\% in our baseline model) occur during the open cluster phase. Our findings suggest that a substantial fraction of mergers from hierarchical triples occur within star-forming regions in spiral galaxies.

Anomaly in the relaxation dynamics close to the surface plasmon resonance

description: We propose an explanation for the anomalous behaviour observed in the relaxation dynamics of the differential optical transmission of noble-metal nanoparticles. Using the temperature dependences of the position and the width of the surface plasmon resonance, we obtain a strong frequency dependence in the time evolution of the transmission close to the resonance. In particular, our approach accounts for the slowdown found below the plasmon frequency. This interpretation is independent of the presence of a nearby interband transition which has been invoked previously. We therefore argue that the anomaly should also appear for alkaline nanoparticles.

description: We study the entropy of the black hole with torsion using the covariant form of the partition function. The regularization of infinities appearing in the semiclassical calculation is shown to be consistent with the grand canonical boundary conditions. The correct value for the black hole entropy is obtained provided the black hole manifold has two boundaries, one at infinity and one at the horizon. However, one can construct special coordinate systems, in which the entropy is effectively associated with only one of these boundaries.
