description: Extraversion predicts leadership emergence and effectiveness, but do groups perform more effectively under extraverted leadership? Drawing on dominance complementarity theory, we propose that although extraverted leadership enhances group performance when employees are passive, this effect reverses when employees are proactive, because extraverted leaders are less receptive to proactivity. In Study 1, pizza stores with leaders rated high (low) in extraversion achieved higher profits when employees were passive (proactive). Study 2 constructively replicates these findings in the laboratory: passive (proactive) groups achieved higher performance when leaders acted high (low) in extraversion. We discuss theoretical and practical implications for leadership and proactivity.

description: So far the highly unstable phase of luminous blue variables (LBVs) has not been understood well. It is still uncertain why and which massive stars enter this phase. Investigating the variabilities by looking for a possible regular or even (semi-)periodic behaviour could give a hint at the underlying mechanism for these variations and might answer the question of where these variabilities originate. Finding out more about the LBV phase also means understanding massive stars better in general, which have (e.g. by enriching the ISM with heavy elements, providing ionising radiation and kinetic energy) a strong and significant influence on the ISM, hence also on their host galaxy. Photometric and spectroscopic data were taken for the LBV Var C in M33 to investigate its recent status. In addition, scanned historic plates, archival data, and data from the literature were gathered to trace Var C's behaviour in the past. Its long-term variability and periodicity was investigated. Our investigation of the variability indicates possible (semi-)periodic behaviour with a period of 42.3 years for Var C. That Var C's light curve covers a time span of more than 100 years means that more than two full periods of the cycle are visible. The critical historic maximum around 1905 is less strong but discernible even with the currently rare historic data. The semi-periodic and secular structure of the light curve is similar to the one of LMC R71. Both light curves hint at a new aspect in the evolution of LBVs.

description: Giacomo Tazzini, architect of three courts. Life and work by a versatile architect-engineer in Milan, from Repubblica Cisalpina to Italian Unification. PhD thesis by Flavio Eusebio The name of Giacomo Tazzini often comes out in many documents of restoration of buildings in Milan, Monza and other Lombard sites. Nonetheless it hasn?t been never realized a specific research about his work. Tazzini doesn't represent only a stylistic and professional continuances with his master Luigi Canonica. In forty years he creates some extraordinary works, for the aesthetic and the technique, that have changed the face of Milan. The matrix of the aesthetic taste of the facades of his buildings is the Neoclassic one, but in the interiors it is possible to see a progressive evolution of the ornamental language. The works of Tazzini are very numerous if we consider not only court's assignments such as Royal Palace and the Scala Theatre, but even buildings and interiors for private commitment such as Spinola Palace. These assignments took place in Milan and in other Lombard cities. Sometime he used to design churches even if most of the time the architect that projected these sacred buildings was Tazzini's brother Giuseppe. The presence of Giuseppe has often determined confusion in attributions of altars or facades' projects. The quantity and quality of discovered drawings made by Tazzini show a very clever figure, great architect and engineer and interior designer, able to consider all the details from the door-handles to the chandeliers. Tazzini represents one of the final complete designer. He has not studied at the university but at Canonica's studio. Considering the hugeness of the documents discovered the research examines only the most important works in Milan, as defined in the subtitle.

description: The Newtonian simulations describing the formation of large-scale structures do not include relativistic effects. A new approach to this problem is proposed, which consists of splitting the Hawking-Hayward quasi-local energy of a closed spacelike 2-surface into a "Newtonian" part due to local perturbations and a "relativistic" part due to the cosmology. It is found that the Newtonian part dominates over the relativistic one as time evolves, lending support to the validity of Newtonian simulations.

description: Scopo del lavoro: valutare le modificazioni trasversali delle arcate ottenuti con un?espansione lenta, con forze leggere ed alto controllo del movimento, su un campione di pazienti in crescita, con insufficienza trasversale del mascellare. Materiali e Metodi: sono stati inclusi nello studio n� 10 pazienti (n� 3 maschi, n� 7 femmine) con un?et� media di 7 anni 5 mesi +/- 7 mesi, trattati con espansione mascellare lenta per la correzione di crossbite posteriore monolaterale (con shift mandibolare), mediante il dispositivo denominato Leaf Expander (L.E.), ancorato sui secondi molari decidui. Su questo campione di n�10 pazienti sono stati eseguiti due diversi Studi Pilota. - Studio Pilota I In tutti i pazienti (n�10) sono stati realizzati modelli digitali delle arcate dentarie prima dell?inizio del trattamento (T1) e a fine terapia, al momento della rimozione dell?espansore L.E. (T2). I modelli sono stati analizzati rilevando n�5 parametri lineari: 1) distanza intermolare sup. (molari permanenti) 2) distanza intermolare sup. (molari decidui) 3) distanza intercanina superiore 4) distanza intermolare inferiore (molari permanenti) 5) distanza intercanina inferiore - Studio Pilota II In n� 5 pazienti, con deficit di spazio a carico dei canini superiori, � stata effettuata una tomografia computerizzata cone beam (CBCT) prima dell?inizio del trattamento (T1), seguita da una CBCT al momento della rimozione del L.E. (T2). Sono state eseguite misurazioni e sovrapposizioni al fine di valutare n� 3 parametri, i pi� significativi secondo la letteratura: 1) ampiezza nasale 2) ampiezza mascellare a livello dei II molari decidui 3) ampiezza mascellare a livello di primi molari permanenti Risultati: In tutti i pazienti si � realizzata la correzione del crossbite posteriore, con 4 mesi di trattamento in media. Tutti i parametri oggetto di valutazione, dentali e scheletrici, relativi all?arcata superiore, sono aumentati significativamente durante la fase di espansione lenta mascellare. Il percorso eruttivo e la prognosi dei canini inclusi risultano migliorati. Per quanto riguarda l?arcata mandibolare abbiamo rilevato la riduzione del diametro intermolare 6-6 e l?incremento del diametro intercanino. Conclusioni: i risultati dei due Studi Pilota convalidano l?efficacia dell?espansore lento Leaf Expander, nel trattamento delle insufficienze trasversali del mascellare, nel giovane paziente, con azione sia dentoalveolare sia scheletrica.

The Necessity of Others is The Mother of Invention: Intrinsic and Prosocial Motivations, Perspective Taking, and Creativity

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Although many scholars believe that intrinsic motivation fuels creativity, research has returned equivocal results. Drawing on motivated information processing theory, we propose that the relationship between intrinsic motivation and creativity is enhanced by other-focused psychological processes. Perspective taking, as generated by prosocial motivation, encourages employees to develop ideas that are useful as well as novel. In three studies, using both field and lab data, we found that prosocial motivation strengthened the association between intrinsic motivation and independent creativity ratings. In our second and third studies, perspective taking mediated this moderating effect. We discuss theoretical implications for creativity and motivation.

description: Much is known about the importance of learning and some of the distinct learning processes that organizations use (e.g., trial-and-error learning, vicarious learning, experimental learning, and improvisational learning). Yet surprisingly little is known about whether these processes combine over time in ordered ways, because most research on learning explores one particular process. Using theory elaboration and theory-building methods and data on the accumulated country entries of entrepreneurial firms, we address this gap. Our core contribution is an emergent theoretical framework that develops the concept of learning sequences. We find that learning sequences exist and are influenced by initial conditions. We also find that learning sequences evolve in fundamentally distinct ways over time and with repeated use. Finally, data show how different learning sequences differentially affect both shorter- and longer-term performance, suggesting that it matters which learning processes are used and when. Overall, our findings on learning sequences have important implications for learning theory, international entrepreneurship, and the growing literature on process management.

Vengeful Spirits or Loving Spiritual Companions? Changing Views of Animal Spirits in Contemporary Japan
Creators: name: Ambros, Barbara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Pet memorial rites gained currency in Japan in the late twentieth century. Beginning in the 1970s, Japan experienced an "occult boom," which was marked by increasing interest in paranormal phenomena, divination, and vengeful spirits. At the same time, Japanese society underwent dramatic demographic changes and a marked increase in pet ownership. Pet memorial rituals became popular in this environment. However, the rationale behind these rituals is shifting in the aftermath of the Aum Shinrikyō incident and through the growing influence of a global pet loss literature. Once regarded as threatening, vengeful spirits, pet spirits have emerged as loving, faithful spiritual companions. This article traces these changes at Buddhist pet cemeteries and in the writings of popular spiritualists from Gibo Aiko to Ehara Hiroyuki.
Die Universitätsausdehnungsbewegung als Vorläufer der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung

description: IIn der Weimarer Reichsverfassung von 1919 erhält die Volksbildung erstmals in der deutschen Geschichte Verfassungsrang. Dieses Jahr gilt als ein Kristallisationspunkt für die Institutionalisierung der Volkshochschule moderner Prägung in öffentlicher Verantwortung. Fast ein halbes Jahrhundert später findet im Januar 1968 an der Universität Göttingen die erste Jahresversammlung des Arbeitskreises Universitäre Erwachsenenbildung (AUE) zum Thema „Universität und Erwachsenenbildung“ statt. Am 3. Oktober 1970 wird im Rahmen der 3. AUE-Jahrestagung an der Technischen Universität Hannover die erste Mitgliederversammlung abgehalten, eine Satzung beraten und verabschiedet (Dikau, Nerlich & Schäfer, 1996; Hörr, 2017). Im Jahr 2001 wird aus dem AUE die „Deutsche Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung und Fernstudium (DGWF)“. Beide Ereignisse, die Gründung der Volkshochschulen und die des AUE haben eine gemeinsame historische Wurzel, die Universitätsausdehnungsbewegung (Filla, 2006; Schäfer, 1988). Diese gilt es im Folgenden in ihrer Entstehung und Entwicklung sowie ihren zentralen Merkmalen vorzustellen. Zunächst wird auf die deutschen Professorenvereinigungen, die den geistigen Boden für die Universitätsausdehnungsbewegung bereiten, kurz eingegangen, bevor die englische University-Extension und sodann die Universitätsausdehnungsbewegung in Deutschland und Österreich in ihrer Genese thematisiert werden. Anschließend werden ausgewählte Aspekte der Universitätsausdehnungsbewegung analysiert: die methodischdidaktischen Kennzeichen, die erwachsenenbildnerische Befähigung der Lehrenden und das Engagement der Lernenden, die Kurs- und Besucherzahlen, die Sozialstruktur der Hörer*innenschaft sowie die Finanzierung der volkstümlichen Hochschulkurse. Abschließend wird der Blick auf den Anspruch, durch die Kurse zu einer Popularisierung der Wissenschaft beizutragen, sowie die Utilitätsbestrebungen der Hörer*innen gerichtet, bevor ein Resümee gezogen wird.

description: A number of gaps divide reality from perception concerning the kinetic energy ballistic missile defense and antisatellite (ASAT) weapons developed, tested, and possessed by the United States and China. This article explains the equivalence of these supposedly distinct classes of weaponry, and reviews the diplomatic history surrounding recent Chinese and US tests of them, particularly in the light of recent WikiLeaks revelations. The inadequacy of arms-control proposals that would address only the testing or use of these weapons as ASATs is discussed, and a more substantive proposal is offered that emerged in a recent meeting between Chinese and US arms-control analysts.
title: Development of Late-Heading Orchardgrass Germplasm
Creators: name: Getz, Megan Marie
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Dactylis glomerata L., orchardgrass, is commonly grown with perennial forages such as alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). However, commercial orchardgrass cultivars currently grown in the Intermountain West generally flower earlier than alfalfa. This results in a reduction in grass nutritional value if harvested to maximize the alfalfa yield, because the two species mature at different rates. Thus, there is a need to better understand the genetic basis of flowering time in orchardgrass and develop late-flowering populations. The objectives of this research were to evaluate the ability to identify and use molecular markers to identify and select late-heading orchardgrass; and to select superior orchardgrass plants from a promising late-heading orchardgrass breeding population to for further cultivar development. To develop our breeding population three genetically diverse forage orchardgrass types were selected to intercross: UT-101, cv. ‘Toyomidori’, and PI538922. Each of those parents exhibited late-flowering and other desirable characteristics such as high forage yield or drought tolerance. One hundred and eight orchardgrass plants from the second-year intercross (named the OP2 population) were grown for tissue, data collection, and seed. Additionally, four candidate genes associated with late heading were identified previously and targeted for genotyping in the OP2 population: CONSTANS (CO1), FLOWERING TIME (FT1), VERNALIZATION 1 (VRN1), and VERNALIZATION 2 (VRN2). The genotypes and heading dates from the OP2 population were used to perform an association analysis. Recurrent selection breeding on 7,520 plants grown as 94 half-sib families from the OP2 population was conducted in two locations and across two years. Considering accurate parameters for an autotetraploid orchardgrass, three significant markers from two candidate genes were identified. From the half-sib family evaluation, heading date was more heritable than yield. The half-sib family population varied significantly for both traits, but also was characterized by significant variation across years and locations. Nevertheless, late heading and high forage yielding families were identified through a selection index. Finally, association analysis of OP2 heading dates and the half-sib progeny trait means onto OP2 population genotypes supported the significant markers found when measuring the OP2 traits and further selected ideal plants of the OP2 population to continue for further breeding.

description: We theoretically study homogeneously trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates where all three momentum components couple to a pseudo-spin-$1/2$ degree of freedom. Tuning the anisotropies of spin-orbit coupling and the spin-dependent interactions is shown to provide access to a rich phase diagram with a tetracritical point, first-order phase transitions, and multiple metastable phases of stripe and plane-wave character. The elementary excitation spectrum of the axial plane-wave phase features an anisotropic roton feature and can be used to probe the phase diagram. In addition to providing a versatile laboratory for studying fundamental concepts in statistical physics, the emergence of metastable phases creates new opportunities for observing false-vacuum decay and bubble nucleation in ultra-cold-atom experiments.

description: A growing number of studies is being devoted to the identification of plausible quantum properties of spacetime which might give rise to observably large effects. The literature on this subject is now relatively large, including studies in string theory, loop quantum gravity and non-commutative geometry. It is useful to divide the various proposals into proposals involving a systematic quantum-gravity effect (an effect that would shift the main/average prediction for a given observable quantity) and proposals involving a non-systematic quantum-gravity effect (an effect that would introduce new fundamental uncertanties in some observable quantity). The case of quantum-gravity-induced particle-production-threshold anomalies, a much studied example of potentially observable quantum-gravity effect, is here used as an example to illustrate the differences to be expected between systematic and non-systematic effects.

description: Recent analysis of the combined data of cosmic microwave background, galaxy clustering and supernovae type Ia observations have set strong constraints on the equation of state parameter $w_X$. The upper bound $w_X < -0.82$ at 95% c.l. rules out an important class of models, the domain walls ($-2/3 < w_X < -1/3$). Here we revisit the issue of domain walls as a possible alternative to the standard $\Lambda$-CDM model by questioning the assumptions made in the choice of priors of the data analysis. The results of our investigation show that domain walls can provide a good fit to the WMAP data for a different choice of priors with ``lower'' values of the Hubble parameter ($h 0.35$), (in agreement with recent measurements of the temperature-luminosity relation of distant clusters observed with the XMM-Newton satellite). In this new perspective, their existence would lead to important implications for the CMB constraints on cosmological and inflationary parameters.

description: In this paper, we present and study a digital-controlled method, called SoftNull, to enable full-duplex in many-antenna systems. Unlike most designs that rely on analog cancelers to suppress self-interference, SoftNull relies on digital transmit beamforming to reduce self-interference. SoftNull does not attempt to perfectly null self-interference, but instead seeks to reduce self-interference sufficiently to prevent swamping the receiver's dynamic range. Residual self-interference is then cancelled digitally by the receiver. We evaluate the performance of SoftNull using measurements from a 72-element antenna array in both indoor and outdoor environments. We find that SoftNull can significantly outperform half-duplex for small cells operating in the many-antenna regime, where the number of antennas is many more than the number of users served simultaneously.

description: Wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung ist als Feld zu markieren, auf das unterschiedliche Einflüsse wirken und in dem insgesamt unterschiedliche Logiken (u.a. Politik, Forschung, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft) vorherrschen und aufeinandertreffen (Wittpoth, 2005). Diese allgemeine Feststellung erfährt gegenwärtig eine Zuspitzung. Neben der Tendenz der Orientierung an Beruf und Beruflichkeit, die schon seit längerem feststellbar ist (Kraus, 2006) sowie an neoliberalen Steuerungsmechanismen, besteht zudem mit der Digitalisierung eine zentrale Tendenz mit beträchtlichen Auswirkungen für gesellschaftliches und berufliches Leben. Was geschieht, wenn das heterogene Feld der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung zunehmend mit technischen Neuerungen wie Digitalisierung und ihren Auswirkungen für Beruf und Gesellschaft konfrontiert wird? Was geschieht dann mit der „Bildung“ in der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung? Diese Fragen diskutiert der Beitrag kritisch, um gleichsam Anregung für das Selbstverständnis wissenschaftlicher Weiterbildung in Zeiten gesellschaftlichen Wandels zu geben.

description: Die Interpretation der Hochschule als Institution des lebenslangen Lernens und das Öffnen für neue Zielgruppen stellt die staatlichen Bildungseinrichtungen vor erhebliche Herausforderungen, die Aktualisierungshandeln erforderlich machen. Hierdurch begeben sich die staatlichen Einrichtungen auf einen bereits etablierten Bildungsmarkt, der sich vom bekannten Handlungsfeld unterscheidet, da er unentwegt ein agiles Handeln und eine schnelle Adaptionsfähigkeit auf neue Bildungsanforderungen benötigt. Immer öfter ist aber die Einrichtung Universität in einer unentwegten Grundsatzdebatte gefangen, die sich immer durch zwei Extrema auszeichnet: arbeitet man marktzentriert oder beharrt man auf seiner vorhandenen Rolle als staatliche Einrichtung mit eindeutigem Bildungsauftrag und wie setzt man nun wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung gemäß dessen um? Konträr zur allgegenwärtigen Interpretation „Bildungsauftrag vs. / oder Cash Cow“ und einem notwendigen Klärungsbedarf der Situationslage ist genau dieses Spannungsverhältnis zwischen den beiden Dimensionen für die Umsetzung der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung an (bayerischen) Hochschulen notwendig. Das Spannungsfeld Bildungsauftrag und Nachfrageorientierung ist die beispiellose Triebkraft für Existenz, erfolgreiche Durchführung und Weiterentwicklung der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung und des (Weiter-)Bildungsmarkts.

description: In this paper, we propose a novel fitting method that uses local image features to fit a 3D Morphable Model to 2D images. To overcome the obstacle of optimising a cost function that contains a non-differentiable feature extraction operator, we use a learning-based cascaded regression method that learns the gradient direction from data. The method allows to simultaneously solve for shape and pose parameters. Our method is thoroughly evaluated on Morphable Model generated data and first results on real data are presented. Compared to traditional fitting methods, which use simple raw features like pixel colour or edge maps, local features have been shown to be much more robust against variations in imaging conditions. Our approach is unique in that we are the first to use local features to fit a Morphable Model. Because of the speed of our method, it is applicable for realtime applications. Our cascaded regression framework is available as an open source library (https://github.com/patrikhuber).

Bedarfstransformationsprozesse als Ursache von Passungsproblemen zwischen Angebot und Nachfrage

description: In der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung kommt es trotz einer primär nachfrageorientiert ausgerichteten Angebotsentwicklung zu Passungsproblematiken zwischen Angebots- und Nachfrageseite. So kommen mitunter implementierte Angebote aufgrund zu wenig Teilnehmender nicht zustande, obwohl sie bedarfsbasiert entwickelt wurden. Der Beitrag geht im Rahmen der Sekundäranalyse einer Fallstudie im Gesundheitsbereich auf Ursachensuche. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Hypothese, dass die nachfrageorientierte hochschulische Angebotsentwicklung – bedingt durch spezifische bisher kaum untersuchte unternehmensinterne Bedarfstransformationsprozesse – primär an organisationale Bedarfe anknüpft und gleichzeitig individuelle Bedarfe der Mitarbeitenden zu wenig beachtet. In diesen Prozessen könnte eine Ursache für eine problembehaftete nachfrageorientierte hochschulische Angebotsentwicklung liegen. Schließlich wird betrachtet, welche Ansatzmöglichkeiten sich aus den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen für die Angebotsentwicklung der Hochschulen ergeben.

EUCLIDEAN CORRELATIONS IN COMBINATORIAL OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS: A STATISTICAL PHYSICS APPROACH
Creators: name: DI GIOACCHINO, ANDREA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2019

description: In this thesis I discuss combinatorial optimization problems, from the statistical physics perspective. The starting point are the motivations which brought physicists together with computer scientists and mathematicians to work on this beautiful and deep topic. I give some elements of complexity theory, and I motivate why the point of view of statistical physics, although different from the one adopted in standard complexity theory, leads to many interesting results, as well as new questions. I discuss the connection between combinatorial optimization problems and spin glasses. Finally, I briefly review some topics of large deviation theory, as a way to go beyond average quantities. As a concrete example of this, I show how the replica method can be used to explore the large deviations of a well-known toy model of spin glasses, the p-spin spherical model. In the second chapter I specialize in Euclidean combinatorial optimization problems. In particular, I explain why these problems, when embedded in a finite dimensional Euclidean space, are difficult to deal with. I analyze several problems (the matching and assignment problems, the traveling salesman problem, and the 2-factor problem) in one dimension to explain a quite general technique to deal with one dimensional Euclidean combinatorial optimization problems. Whenever possible, and in a detailed way for the traveling-salesman problem case, I also discuss how to proceed in two (and also more) dimensions. In the last chapter I outline a promising approach to tackle hard combinatorial optimization problems: quantum computing. After giving a quick overview of the paradigm of quantum computation (and its differences with respect to the classical one), I discuss in detail the application of the so-called quantum annealing algorithm to a specific case of the matching problem, also by providing a comparison between the performance of a recent quantum annealer machine (the D-Wave 2000Q) and a classical super-computer equipped with an heuristic algorithm (an implementation of parallel tempering). Finally, I draw the conclusions of my work and I suggest some interesting directions for future studies.
Bigger Rip with no dark energy

description: By studying a modified Friedmann equation which arises in an extension of general relativity which accommodates a time-dependent fundamental length L(t), we consider cosmological models where the scale factor diverges with an essential singularity at a finite future time. Such models have no dark energy in the conventional sense of energy possessing a simple pressure–energy relationship. Data on supernovae restrict the time from the present until the Rip to be longer than the current age of the Universe.
MSCA-IF-2016 Mortuary Archaeology of the Rameț Bronze Age Landscape: Identity and inequality in early mining communities (2700-2200 BC)

description: MARBAL will integrate human osteology with isotopic analyses of diet and mobility, osteobiographical reconstructions of the lives of prehistoric individuals, and archaeological analyses of material culture. The project aim is to investigate how Early Bronze Age (2700-2200 BC) mortuary practices shaped, and were shaped by, emerging regional trade networks and the establishment and negotiation of community identities in the Apuseni mountain region of Romania. The research objectives are: 1) To understand the social factors that made individuals eligible for kinds of mortuary treatment, to ascertain whether eligibility for burial was affected by aspects of social identity; 2) To investigate the intersection of social and bioarchaeological inequalities, and 3) To reconstruct community social interactions. These objectives will be achieved by providing training for the EF in 1) osteobiographical and 2) isotopic analyses, while collecting and analyzing osteoarchaeological data from the site of Rameț-Gugului. MARBAL will contribute to our understanding of the ways in which mortuary practices can be used to shape community and individual identities and dampen or enhance living social inequalities. It will take place at the University of Cambridge where relevant scientific, regional and period specialisms abound.

description: Probing the geometry of the universe is one of the most important endevours in cosmology.
Current observational data from the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy (CMB), galaxy
surveys and type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) strongly constrain the curvature of the universe to be close
to zero for a universe dominated by a cosmological constant or dark energy with a constant equation
of state. Here we investigate the role of cosmic priors on deriving these tight bounds on geometry,
by considering a landscape motivated scenario with an oscillating curvature term. We perform
a likelihood analysis of current data under such a model of non-trivial geometry and find that
the uncertainties on curvature, and correspondingly on parameters of the matter and dark energy
sectors, are larger. Future dark energy experiments together with CMB data from experiments
like Planck could dramatically improve our ability to constrain cosmic curvature under such models
enabling us to probe possible imprints of quantum gravity.

description: The $2$-star model is the simplest exponential random graph model that displays complex behavior, such as degeneracy and phase transition. Despite its importance, this model has been solved only in the regime of dense connectivity. In this work we solve the model in the finite connectivity regime, far more prevalent in real world networks. We show that the model undergoes a condensation transition from a liquid to a condensate phase along the critical line corresponding, in the ensemble parameters space, to the Erdös-Rényi graphs. In the fluid phase the model can produce graphs with a narrow degree statistics, ranging from regular to Erdös-Rényi graphs, while in the condensed phase, the "excess" degree heterogeneity condenses on a single site with degree $\sim\sqrt{N}$. This shows the unsuitability of the two-star model, in its standard definition, to produce arbitrary finitely connected graphs with degree heterogeneity higher than Erdös-Rényi graphs and suggests that non-pathological variants of this model may be attained by softening the global constraint on the two-stars, while keeping the number of links hardly constrained.

Number and entropy of halo black holes

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Based on constraints from microlensing and disk stability, both with and without limitations from wide binary surveys, we estimate the total number and entropy of intermediate mass black holes. Given the visible universe comprises 1011 halos each of mass  1012M⊙, typical core black holes of mean mass  107M⊙ set the dimensionless entropy (S/k) of the universe at a thousand googols. Identification of all dark matter as black holes sets the dimensionless entropy of the universe at ten million googols, implying that dark matter can contribute over 99% of entropy, which favors all dark matter as black holes in the mass regime of  105M⊙.
