description: Roughly twenty-five years after the abolition of the legal status of slavery, this thesis titled, "Post-Abolition Forms of Servitude and the Legacy of Slavery in Early Twentieth Century Colonial Ghana" explores the transformations within slavery and pawning, as well as the legacy of slavery in the Gold Coast Colony in early twentieth century. Current scholarship on the process of emancipation in the Gold Coast Colony, and later Asante, has demonstrated that despite the claims of success by British colonial administrators, the 1874 Emancipation Proclamation did not bring about an immediate end to slavery. Instead, it resulted in a slow death to slavery and its associated rights and obligations. Focusing largely on Akuapem, located in the Eastern Region of modern-day Ghana, this thesis argues that while slavery was slowly disappearing, pawning became a preferable alternative for unfree labour. Although, pawning did not become slavery and instead underwent its own transformations. It further argues that the status of "slave" continued to hold a social stigma in the colonial period and remained important within Gold Coast society and customary laws regarding matters of inheritance and succession. Using court records, newspapers, an anti-slavery society's periodical and the League of Nations archives, it investigates the strategies Africans adopted to adapt to the changes brought on by colonial rule, abolition, and cocoa cultivation and how these strategies drew on perceptions of rights and obligations within dependency relations between free and unfree individuals. It suggests that conflicts over rights in people, labour and land contributed to a transformation in pawning practices and perpetuated pre-abolition ideas on slave ancestry into Gold Coast social hierarchies and law during colonial period. This thesis examines a period and region in Ghana where the first- and second-generation of enslaved descendants can be found - an area of study in that has received less scholarly attention. Lastly, it combines and contributes to two current waves of historiography, that on slavery and its transformations and on its legacies.
Transnational Hardcore Competition Cartels: Criminalization According to Transnational Criminal Law

description: This thesis provides a comprehensive discussion of the criminal character of transnational hardcore competition cartels in accordance with a transnational criminal law framework. It examines different sources of international law, including customary law, general principles of law, treaty law, national law, and soft law. It concludes that transnational hardcore competition cartels are transnational crimes with domestic concerns and that they are prohibited and criminalized based on national criminal law. The thesis justifies criminalizing transnational hardcore competition cartels based on well-established criminal law theories, including utilitarianism, legal liberalism, legal moralism, and legal perfectionism. Further discussion focuses on the appropriate type of sanction, whether administrative or criminal. The thesis examines this issue based on two well-established sentencing theories: retributivism and general deterrence. The thesis suggests that the criminal sanction of imprisonment is desirable based on both proportionality grounds, in which the sanction fits the severity of the crime, and practical considerations, in which imprisonment serves as an effective sanction for suppressing those crimes.

description: We present an experimental study on the non-equilibrium tunnel dynamics of two coupled one-dimensional Bose-Einstein quasi-condensates deep in the Josephson regime. Josephson oscillations are initiated by splitting a single one-dimensional condensate and imprinting a relative phase between the superfluids. Regardless of the initial state and experimental parameters, the dynamics of the relative phase and atom number imbalance shows a relaxation to a phase-locked steady state. The latter is characterized by a high phase coherence and reduced fluctuations with respect to the initial state. We propose an empirical model based on the analogy with the anharmonic oscillator to describe the effect of various experimental parameters. A microscopic theory compatible with our observations is still missing.

description: In the last decades a vaste amount of evidence for the existence of dark matter has been accumulated. At the same time, many efforts have been undertaken to try to identify what dark matter is. Indirect searches look at places in the Universe where dark matter is believed to be abundant and seek for possible annihilation or decay signatures. The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) represents the next generation of imaging Cherenkov telescopes and, with one site in the Southern hemisphere and one in the Northern hemisphere, will be able to observe all the sky with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution above a few tens of GeV. The CTA Consortium will undertake an ambitious program of indirect dark matter searches for which we report here the brightest prospects.

description: We consider magnetic flux moving in superconductors with periodic pinning arrays. We show that sample heating by moving vortices produces negative differential resistivity (NDR) of both N and S type (i.e., N- and S-shaped) in the voltage-current characteristic (VI curve). The uniform flux flow state is unstable in the NDR region of the VI curve. Domain structures appear during the NDR part of the VI curve of an N type, while a filamentary instability is observed for the NDR of an S type. The simultaneous existence of the NDR of both types gives rise to the appearance of striking self-organized (both stationary and non-stationary) two-dimensional dynamical structures.

description: Using a high-frequency field superposed to a linearly polarized bichromatic laser field composed by a wave with frequency $ω$ and a wave with frequency $2ω$, we show it is possible to enhance the intensity of a group of high harmonics in orders of magnitude. These harmonics have frequencies about 30% higher than the monochromatic-cutoff frequency, and, within the three-step-model framework, correspond to a set of electron trajectories for which tunneling ionization is strongly suppressed. Particular features in the observed enhancement suggest that the high-frequency field provides an additional mechanism for the electron to reach the continuum. This interpretation is supported by a time-frequency analysis of the harmonic yield. The additional high frequency field permits the control of this group of harmonics leaving all other sets of harmonics practically unchanged, which is an advantage over schemes involving only bichromatic fields.

Shaping of the stellar wind of evolved red giants and their successors by (sub-)stellar binary companions
Creators: name: Decin, Leen
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Planetary nebulae (PNe) reveal a wide range of morphologies. Bipolarity is the main characteristic, but jets and tori are also detected. Several contending theories of the evolution from a (roughly) spherically symmetric Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stellar wind to a very non-spherical PN have emerged. Here, we present the first high-spatial resolution observational campaign of a large sample of oxygen-rich AGB stellar winds obtained in the ALMA Large Program ATOMIUM ('ALMA Tracing the Origins of Molecules formIng dUst in oxygen-rich M-type stars'). The data constitute the first observational proof that (sub-)stellar binary activity is the dominant shaping mechanism of AGB stellar winds, and their successors the PNe. We show that low mass-loss rate oxygen-rich AGB winds are more readily prone to complex structural deformations owing to their slow wind acceleration, whereas a binary-induced spiral structure is more prevalent in other classes of AGB stellar winds. These results resolve several previously unexplained phenomena — including the absence of detached shells around oxygen-rich AGB stars and disks around carbon-rich PNe — and have critical implications for the formation of type Ia supernovae.

description: We present 85-GHz observations of the archetypal double-hotspot radio source 3C20 made with the BIMA millimetre array. The resolution of BIMA allows us to separate the two components of the eastern hotspot. By comparing the BIMA observations with existing VLA data, we show that the spectra of the two hotspot components are very similar, despite the clear differences in their radio structure and their wide separation. We discuss the implications for models of double hotspot formation. Weak emission from the lobes of 3C20 is detected at 85 GHz, at a level consistent with the predictions of standard spectral ageing models.

description: Generating graphs that are similar to real ones is an open problem, while the similarity notion is quite elusive and hard to formalize. In this paper, we focus on sparse digraphs and propose SDG, an algorithm that aims at generating graphs similar to real ones. Since real graphs are evolving and this evolution is important to study in order to understand the underlying dynamical system, we tackle the problem of generating series of graphs. We propose SEDGE, an algorithm meant to generate series of graphs similar to a real series. SEDGE is an extension of SDG. We consider graphs that are representations of software programs and show experimentally that our approach outperforms other existing approaches. Experiments show the performance of both algorithms.

description: The purpose of the study was to compare the anxiety and aggression between college men kabaddi and kho-kho players.  To achieve this purpose of the study, sixty men players studying in and around the Colleges in Warangal District, Telangana, India were selected as subjects at random.  Among them, thirty kabaddi players and thirty kho-kho players were selected. The following variables namely anxiety and aggression were selected as criterion variables.  All the subjects of two groups were tested on selected dependent variables by using Sports Competition Anxiety Test Questionnaire and Smith’s Aggression Test Questionnaire respectively. The independent ‘t’ ratio was used to analyze the significant difference, if any between groups.  The .05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance to test the ‘t’ ratio obtained, which was considered as an appropriate. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference between college men kabaddi and kho-kho players on anxiety and aggression.
A Locally Weighted Fixation Density-Based Metric for Assessing the Quality of Visual Saliency Predictions

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: With the increased focus on visual attention (VA) in the last decade, a large number of computational visual saliency methods have been developed over the past few years. These models are traditionally evaluated by using performance evaluation metrics that quantify the match between predicted saliency and fixation data obtained from eye-tracking experiments on human observers. Though a considerable number of such metrics have been proposed in the literature, there are notable problems in them. In this work, we discuss shortcomings in existing metrics through illustrative examples and propose a new metric that uses local weights based on fixation density which overcomes these flaws. To compare the performance of our proposed metric at assessing the quality of saliency prediction with other existing metrics, we construct a ground-truth subjective database in which saliency maps obtained from 17 different VA models are evaluated by 16 human observers on a 5-point categorical scale in terms of their visual resemblance with corresponding ground-truth fixation density maps obtained from eye-tracking data. The metrics are evaluated by correlating metric scores with the human subjective ratings. The correlation results show that the proposed evaluation metric outperforms all other popular existing metrics. Additionally, the constructed database and corresponding subjective ratings provide an insight into which of the existing metrics and future metrics are better at estimating the quality of saliency prediction and can be used as a benchmark.
Causal explanation for observed superluminal behavior of microwave propagation in free space

description: In this paper we present a theoretical analysis of an experiment by Mugnai and collaborators where superluminal behavior was observed in the propagation of microwaves. We suggest that what was observed can be well approximated by the motion of a superluminal X wave. Furthermore the experimental results are also explained by the so called scissor effect which occurs with the convergence of pairs of signals coming from opposite points of an annular region of the mirror and forming an interference peak on the intersection axis traveling at superluminal speed. We clarify some misunderstandings concerning this kind of electromagnetic wave propagation in vacuum.

Energy surface and lifetime of magnetic skyrmions

description: The stability of skyrmions in various environments is estimated by analyzing the multidimensional surface describing the energy of the system as a function of the directions of the magnetic moments in the system. The energy is given by a Heisenberg-like Hamiltonian that includes Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, anisotropy and external magnetic field. Local minima on this surface correspond to the ferromagnetic and skyrmion states. Minimum energy paths (MEP) between the minima are calculated using the geodesic nudged elastic band method. The maximum energy along an MEP corresponds to a first order saddle point on the energy surface and gives an estimate of the activation energy for the magnetic transition, such as creation and annihilation of a skyrmion. The pre-exponential factor in the Arrhenius law for the rate, the so-called attempt frequency, is estimated within harmonic transition state theory where the eigenvalues of the Hessian at the saddle point and the local minima are used to characterize the shape of the energy surface. For some degrees of freedom, so-called 'zero modes', the energy of the system remains invariant. They need to be treated separately and give rise to temperature dependence of the attempt frequency. As an example application of this general theory, the lifetime of a skyrmion in a track of finite width for a PdFe overlayer on a Ir(111) substrate is calculated as a function of track width and external magnetic field. Also, the effect of non-magnetic impurities is studied. Various MEPs for annihilation inside a track, via the boundary of a track and at an impurity are presented. The attempt frequency as well as the activation energy has been calculated for each mechanism to estimate the transition rate as a function of temperature.

description: The overdamped thermal ratchet driven by an external (Orstein-Uhlenbeck) noise is revisited. The ratchet we consider is unbounded in space and not necessarily periodic . We briefly discuss the conditions under which current is obtained by analyzing the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation and its lack of stationary states. Next, two examples in more than one dimension and related to biological systems are presented. First, a two-dimensional model of a ``kinesin protein'' on a ``microtubule'' is analyzed and, second, we suggest that a ratchet mechanism may be behind the folding of proteins; the latter is elaborated with a multidimensional ratchet model.

description: In this paper, we consider higher order corrections of the entropy, which coming from thermal fluctuations, and find their effect on the thermodynamics of higher dimensional charged black holes. Leading order thermal fluctuation is logarithmic term in the entropy while higher order correction is proportional to the inverse of original entropy. We calculate some thermodynamics quantities and obtain the effect of logarithmic and higher order corrections of entropy on them. Validity of the first law of thermodynamics investigated and Van der Waals equation of state of dual picture studied. We find that five-dimensional black hole behaves as Van der Waals, but higher dimensional case have not such behavior. We find that thermal fluctuations are important in stability of black hole hence affect unstable/stable black hole phase transition.

description: SPIFFI (SPectrometer for Infrared Faint Field Imaging) is the integral field spectrograph of the VLT-instrument SINFONI (SINgle Far Object Near-infrared Investigation). SINFONI is the combination of SPIFFI with the ESO adaptive optics system MACAO (Multiple Application Concept for Adaptive Optics) offering for the first time adaptive optics assisted near infrared integral field spectroscopy at an 8m-telescope. SPIFFI works in the wavelength ranger from 1.1 to 2.5 micron with a spectral resolving power ranging from R=2000 to 4500. Pixel scale ranges from 0.25 to 0.025 seconds of arc. The SPIFFI field-of-view consists of 32x32 pixels which are rearranged with an image slicer to a form a long slit. Based on the 3D slicer concept with plane mirrors, an enhanced image slicer was developed. The SPIFFI image slicer consists of two sets of mirrors, called the 'small' and the 'large' slicer. The small slicer cuts a square field of view into 32 slitlets, each of which is 32 pixels long. The large slicer rearranges the 32 slitlets into a 1024 pixels long slit. The modifications to the 3D slicer concept affect the angles of the plane mirrors of small and large slicer and lead to an improved slit geometry with very little light losses. At a mirror width of 0.3mm the light loss is <5%. All reflective surfaces are flat and can be manufactured with a high surface quality. This is especially important for the adaptive optics mode of SINFONI. We explain the concept of the SPIFFI mirror slicer and describe details of the manufacturing process.

description: We present a sample of 1148 ab-type RR Lyrae (RRLab) variables identified from Catalina Surveys Data Release 1, combined with SDSS DR8 and LAMOST DR4 spectral data. We firstly use a large sample of 860 Galactic halo RRLab stars and derive the circular velocity distributions for the stellar halo. With the precise distances and carefully determined radial velocities (the center-of-mass radial velocities) by considering the pulsation of the RRLab stars in our sample, we can obtain a reliable and comparable stellar halo circular velocity curve. We take two different prescriptions for the velocity anisotropy parameter β in the Jeans equation to study the circular velocity curve and mass profile. We test two different solar peculiar motions in our calculation. Our best result with the adopted solar peculiar motion 1 of (U, V, W) = (11.1, 12, 7.2) km/s is that the enclosed mass of the Milky Way within 50 kpc is (3.75 +/- 1.33) *10^11Msun based on β= 0 and the circular velocity 180 +/- 31.92 (km/s) at 50 kpc. This result is consistent with dynamical model results, and it is also comparable to the previous similar works.

description: In 2D conformal quantum field theory, we continue a systematic study of W-algebras with two and three generators and their highest weight representations focussing mainly on rational models. We review the known facts about rational models of W(2,δ)-algebras. Our new rational models of W-algebras with two generators all belong to one of the known series. The majority of W-algebras with three generators -including the new ones constructed in this letter- can be explained as subalgebras or truncations of Casimir algebras. Nonetheless, for one solution of W(2,4,6) we reveal some features that do not fit into the pattern of Casimir algebras or orbifolds thereof. This shows that there are more W-algebras than those predicted from Casimir algebras (or Toda field theories). However, most of the known rational conformal field theories belong to the minimal series of some Casimir algebra.
description: 11 pages (Plain TeX), BONN-HE-93-08; CHANGE: Previously, we had failed to recognize W(2,8) at c=-3164/23 and c=-712/7 as members of the minimal series of the Casimir algebras WE_7 resp. WE_8. This lead to some misleading side-remarks in the abstract, the conclusion, and in particular, the introduction
EFFECT OF YOGIC PRACTICES WITH AND WITHOUT DEEP RELAXATION TECHNIQUE ON STRESS AMONG SCHOOL GIRLS
Creators: name: K. Tamilselvi* & Dr. S. Arul**
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of yogic practices with and without deep relaxation technique on stress of school girls.  To achieve the purpose of this study, forty five school girls studying in and around Kanchipuram District, Tamil Nadu, India were selected as subjects and they were divided into three equal groups of fifteen each. Group I underwent yogic practices with deep relaxation technique, Group II underwent yogic practices without deep relaxation technique and Group III acted as control.  Group I and Group II underwent their respective training programmes for three days per week for twelve weeks and Group III acted as control in which they didn’t undergo any special training programme apart from their daily curricular activities. The selected subjects were tested on the selected criterion variable namely stress at prior and immediately after the training programme. The analysis of covariance was used to find out the significant differences, if any, at prior and immediately after the training programme among groups on stress.  Whenever the obtained ‘F’ ratio for adjusted post test was found to be significant, the Scheffe’s test was applied as post hoc test to determine the paired men differences, if any. The level of confidence was fixed at .05 level which was considered as an appropriate.

description: We present new capacitance measurements of critical Casimir force-induced thinning of $^4$He films near the superfluid/normal transition, focused on the region below $T_λ$ where the effect is the greatest. $^4$He films of 238, 285, and 340 Åthickness are adsorbed on N-doped silicon substrates with roughness $\approx 8 Å$. The Casimir force scaling function $\vartheta $, deduced from the thinning of these three films, collapses onto a single universal curve, attaining a minimum $\vartheta = -1.30 \pm 0.03$ at $x=td^{1/ν}=-9.7\pm 0.8 Å^{1/ν}$. The collapse confirms the finite-size scaling origin of the dip in the film thickness. Separately, we also confirm the presence down to $2.13 K$ of the Goldstone/surface fluctuation force, which makes the superfluid film $\sim 2 Å$ thinner than the normal film.

description: The van der Waals heterostructures of allotropes of phosphorene ($α$- and $β-P$) with MoSe2 (H-, T-, ZT- and SO-MoSe2) are investigated in the framework of state-of-the-art density functional theory. The semiconducting heterostructures, $β$-P /H-MoSe2 and $α$-P / H-MoSe2, forms anti-type structures with type I and type II band alignments, respectively, whose bands are tunable with external electric field. $α$-P / ZT-MoSe2 and $α$-P / SO-MoSe2 form ohmic semiconductor-metal contacts while Schottky barrier in $β$-P / T-MoSe2 can be reduced to zero by external electric field to form ohmic contact which is useful to realize high-performance devices. Simulated STM images of given heterostructures reveal that $α$-P can be used as a capping layer to differentiate between various allotropes of underlying MoSe2. The dielectric response of considered heterostructures is highly anisotropic in terms of lateral and vertical polarization. The tunable electronic and dielectric response of van der Waals phosphorene/MoSe2 heterostructure may find potentials applications in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices.

description: Bracket preserving gauge equivalence is established between several two-boson generated KP type of hierarchies. These KP hierarchies reduce under symplectic reduction (via Dirac constraints) to KdV, mKdV and Schwarzian KdV hierarchies. Under this reduction the gauge equivalence is taking form of the conventional Miura maps between the above KdV type of hierarchies.

HST Optical-NIR Colors of Nearby $R^{1/4}$ and Exponential Bulges

description: We have analysed $V$, $H$ and $J$ HST images for a sample of early- to late-type spiral galaxies, and reported elsewhere the statistical frequency of $R^{1/4}$-law and exponential bulges in our sample as a function of Hubble type, and the frequency of occurrence and structural properties of the resolved central nuclei hosted by intermediate- to late-type bulges and disks (see references in the text). Here we use these data to show that: {\it (i)} The $V-H$ color distribution of the $R^{1/4}$ bulges peaks around $ \sim 1.3$, with a sigma $Δ(V-H) \sim 0.1$ magnitudes. Assuming a solar metallicity, these values correspond to stellar ages of $\approx 6 \pm 3$ Gyrs. In contrast, the $V-H$ color distribution of the exponential bulges peaks at $ \sim 0.9$ and has a sigma $Δ(V-H) \sim 0.4$ mags. This likely implies significantly smaller ages and/or lower metallicities for (a significant fraction of the stars in) the exponential bulges compared to the $R^{1/4}$-law spheroids. {\it (ii)} Most of the central nuclei hosted by the exponential bulges have $V-H$ and $J-H$ colors which are compatible with relatively unobscured stellar populations. Assuming no or little dust effects, ages $\gta 1$ Gyrs are suggested for these nuclei, which in turn imply masses of about a few 10$^6$ to a few 10$^7$ M$_\odot$, i.e., sufficient to dissolve progenitor bars with masses consistent with those inferred for the exponential bulges by their luminosities. {\it (iii)} While different bulge-nucleus pairs cover a large range of $V-H$ colors, each bulge-nucleus pair has quite similar $V-H$ colors, and thus possibly similar stellar populations.

Red blood cells and other non-spherical capsules in shear flow: oscillatory dynamics and the tank-treading-to-tumbling transition

description: We consider the motion of red blood cells and other non-spherical microcapsules dilutely suspended in a simple shear flow. Our analysis indicates that depending on the viscosity, membrane elasticity, geometry and shear rate, the particle exhibits either tumbling, tank-treading of the membrane about the viscous interior with periodic oscillations of the orientation angle, or intermittent behavior in which the two modes occur alternately. For red blood cells, we compute the complete phase diagram and identify a novel tank-treading-to-tumbling transition at low shear rates. Observations of such motions coupled with our theoretical framework may provide a sensitive means of assessing capsule properties.
