description: Cossulus kopetdaghensis Yakovlev & Alipanah, sp. n.
(Figs. 12A, B)
 Material examined. MWM: Holotype, 1 ♂, Iran, Razavi Khorâsân Prov.: Kopet Dagh, Bargovein Mt. (= Barjovein Mt.), Shahr-e Kohneh, 27.–28.vi.2000, leg. Gazkó (gen. prep. No. MWM 34.604); paratypes, 3 ♂♂, same locality and data.
 Diagnosis. From all the studied species of Cossulus, which was recently revised by Yakovlev & Witt (2017a), it externally differs well by the specific reticulated pattern of the forewing and the pale brown portion on its surface in the center (Fig. 12A). Additionally, the newly described species is differentiated from the other species of the genus by having a short uncus (Fig. 12B).
 Description. Male (Fig. 12A). Head: Vertex and frons with yellow scales; labial palpus covered with similar scales, with length slightly more than the half length of horizontal diameter of compound eye; antenna unipectinate, with length 0.4 times the length of forewing, pecten process shorter than the antennal segment diameter.
 Thorax: Densely covered with yellow-brown scales; tegula and patagium yellow-brown. Wingspan 35–39 mm (n = 4). Forewing (Fig. 12A). Elongate, with obliquely rounded termen, apex rounded; upperside yellowish-brown with pale brown streakes along the costal margin, pale brown pattern of thin streakes throughout the wing area, and a pale brown portion from discal area to the apex, fringes mottled (pale brown at veins and yellow between the veins). Hindwing upperside pale brown, without pattern, fringes pale yellow, unicolorous.
 Abdomen: Densely covered with yellow-brown scales. Genitalia (Fig. 12B) typical for the genus in structure, with phallus being thin, almost straight, equal to the length of valva, having the same width along its length. Bulbus ejaculatorius positioned dorso-apically, length of its entrance one-third of the length of phallus, vesica without cornuti; saccus developed; juxta thin, with long lateral processes (equal to the transtilla processes) diluted at right angle; transtilla process bent uncinately, with sharp apex; valva sclerotized basally, membranous distally, with lanceolate apex and poorly developed crest on costal margin; gnathos robust, densely covered with small spines, gnathos arms long and thick; uncus short, wide, with rounded apex.
Female unknown.
 Distribution. Iran.
 Distribution in Iran. NE Iran (Fig. 29D).
 Etymology. This species is named after the collecting area in Kopet Dagh Mountains.

An extension of the Lyapunov analysis for the predictability problem

description: The predictability problem for systems with different characteristic time scales is investigated. It is shown that even in simple chaotic dynamical systems, the leading Lyapunov exponent is not sufficient to estimate the predictability time. This fact is due the saturation of the error on the fast components of the system which therefore do not contribute to the exponential growth of the error at large errors. It is proposed to adopt a generalization of the Lyapunov exponent which is based on the natural concept of error growing time at finite error size. The method is first illustrated on a simple numerical model obtained by coupling two Lorenz systems with different time scales. As a more realistic example, this analysis is then applied to a toy model of Atmospheric circulation recently introduced by Lorenz.

description: Die Unterstützung von Massenprozessen (Prozesse in großer Anzahl) in Büroumgebungen von Dienstleistungsunternehmen mit spezialisierten Informationssystemen (Prozessmanagementsystemen) kann zur Realisierung hoher Effizienz- und Kostenvorteile führen. Moderne Prozessmanagementsoftware ermöglicht seit einiger Zeit, Massenprozesse „fabrikähnlich“ zu behandeln wie Produktionsprozesse. Das Thema „Massenprozesse im Bürobereich“ wurde wissenschaftlich bis dato kaum beleuchtet. Dieser Beitrag präsentiert eine Tiefenanalyse der existierenden Literatur und untersucht Faktoren, die für Massenprozesse relevant sind. Als wichtiges Ergebnis für die wissenschaftliche Diskussion liefert der Beitrag ein definitorisches Rahmenwerk für „Massenprozesse“, „Massenprozess-Management“ und komplementärer Begriffe zur Industrialisierung von Dienstleistungen in Büroumgebungen.

description: In today`s mobile world there is a high potential for M(obile)-payment services, but the mere existence of such services does not mean market readiness. Added values of M-payment are necessary to attract new users. The aim of this work is to investigate whether M-payment is or can be accepted by the consumers. We will determine the technology acceptance of consumers, face to face with the M-payment for Germany and the USA. For this purpose, we will carry out a technology acceptance analysis using a structural equation modeling technique. The constructs of the research model arise from the findings of an explorative study and a literature review. The results of an extended technology acceptance model (TAM) based evaluation shows, that user acceptance of M-payment, especially the influence of the constructs, perceived ease of use and willingness-to-pay differ to the intention to use.

description: We study the space of all compact structures on a two-dimensional square lattice of size $N=6\times6$. Each structure is mapped onto a vector in $N$-dimensions according to a hydrophobic model. Previous work has shown that the designabilities of structures are closely related to the distribution of the structure vectors in the $N$-dimensional space, with highly designable structures predominantly found in low density regions. We use principal component analysis to probe and characterize the distribution of structure vectors, and find a non-uniform density with a single peak. Interestingly, the principal axes of this peak are almost aligned with Fourier eigenvectors, and the corresponding Fourier eigenvalues go to zero continuously at the wave-number for alternating patterns ($q=π$). These observations provide a stepping stone for an analytic description of the distribution of structural points, and open the possibility of estimating designabilities of realistic structures by simply Fourier transforming the hydrophobicities of the corresponding sequences.

Certain properties of such matrices and the corresponding solutions of the TBA equations are established. Several continuous families and a discrete set of admissible matrices A are found. The corresponding two-term dilogarithm identities (some of which appear to be new) are obtained. Most of them are proven or shown to be equivalent to previously known identities.

Rabbinic Legal Loopholes: Formalism, Equity and Subjectivity
Creators: Stein, Elana
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: Religion

description: Rabbinic law is particularly well known for its use of legal dodges and technical circumventions. This dissertation focuses on three main questions about such loopholes: 1) Why is rabbinic law so replete with them? 2) Are they always permitted, and if not, what are the parameters of their use? 3) What does the use of legal loopholes reveal about rabbinic views of the relationship between intention and action?
      We attempt to answer these questions by analyzing a particular subset of rabbinic legal loopholes known as ha`arama (cunning). Tracing the history and use of ha`arama from tannaitic to amoraic sources, this work places rabbinic legal loopholes in context of Biblical and Ancient Near Eastern worldviews, Greco-Roman perspectives, and later contemporaneous Zoroastrian approaches. Working with both tannaitic and amoraic materials, with Palestinian and Babylonian sources, we observe a progression within rabbinic thinking on this front: from rigid legal formalism to a concern for the inner spirit of the law, and from emphasis on the inner spirit of the law to an interest in the inner spirit of the individual legal agent.
Computations on Nondeterministic Cellular Automata

description: The work is concerned with the trade-offs between the dimension and the time and space complexity of computations on nondeterministic cellular automata. It is proved, that 1). Every NCA $\Cal A$ of dimension $r$, computing a predicate $P$ with time complexity T(n) and space complexity S(n) can be simulated by $r$-dimensional NCA with time and space complexity $O(T^{\frac{1}{r+1}} S^{\frac{r}{r+1}})$ and by $r+1$-dimensional NCA with time and space complexity $O(T^{1/2} +S)$. 2) For any predicate $P$ and integer $r>1$ if $\Cal A$ is a fastest $r$-dimensional NCA computing $P$ with time complexity T(n) and space complexity S(n), then $T= O(S)$. 3). If $T_{r,P}$ is time complexity of a fastest $r$-dimensional NCA computing predicate $P$ then $T_{r+1,P} &=O((T_{r,P})^{1-r/(r+1)^2})$, $T_{r-1,P} &=O((T_{r,P})^{1+2/r})$. Similar problems for deterministic CA are discussed.

description: In this paper we extend the Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) to the case where the "quasi-particles" entering the FKM are not "ordinary" fermions. As an example we first discuss how the FKM can be generalized to the case with spin-dependent hopping. Afterwards we discuss several cases where the "quasi-particles" entering the FKM are Majorana fermions (extended Majorana-Falicov-Kimball Model (MFKM). Two examples of extended MFKM are discussed in detail: (i) a $p$-wave BCS superconductor on a bipartite lattice and (ii) a BCS-Anderson model. We also discuss the most general forms of extended MFKM, including a brief discussion on the case where the Majorana fermions represent spins, but not real fermion particles.

description: Es wird eine zusammenfassende Darstellung des Einflusses der Reynoldszahl auf die Strömungsverluste von ebenen Schaufelgittern gegeben. Der Einfluß der Reynoldszahl hängt in erster Linie von der Druckverteilung am Profil ab, aber auch von der Lage des Umschlagpunktes laminar-turbulent und der Oberflächenrauhigkeit. Außerdem tritt mit der Änderung der Reynoldsschen Zahl auch eine grundlegende Änderung im Charakter der Strömung auf. Man kann drei Gebiete unterscheiden: laminare Ablösung in Vorderkantennähe bei kleinen Reynoldszahlen, laminare Ablösung mit turbulentem Wiederanlegen und schließlich bei großen Reynoldszahlen natürlicher Umschlag laminar-turbulent mit turbulenter Ablösung in Hinterkantennähe.
An Hand von Beispielen wird gezeigt, daß der Einfluß der Reynoldszahl auf die Strömungsverluste sehr gut von der Grenzschichttheorie wiedergegeben werden kann, solange keine Ablösung oder nur geringe Ablösung in Hinterkantennähe auftritt.
description: A survey is presented about the influence of Reynolds Number on the flow losses in two-dimensional cascades. Primarily the Reynolds Number effect is depending on the pressure distribution of the blade, but also on the transition from laminar to turbulent flow and on the surface roughness. Generally the losses are considerably decreasing, when the Reynolds Number increases. Furthermore, the pattern of flow through the cascade changes considerably with variation of Reynolds Number. There are three different types of flow in the boundary layer: 1) Separation of the laminar boundary layer near the leading edge at low Reynolds Numbers, 2) local separation of the laminar boundary layer enclosing a "bubble of turbulence" and 3) at high Reynolds Numbers usual transition from laminar to turbulent flow, separation of turbulent boundary layer near trailing edge.
From the presented examples it can be shown that the Reynolds Number effect on the flow losses in cascades can be calculated by theoretical methods in a very good manner, as long as separation of boundary layer is insignificant.

Furthermore the phenomena to be expected when cutting out a plate of finite thickness are investigated and possibilities for measuring internal stresses in stratified anisotropic plates (e.g. metal-clad sheets or plywood) discussed.

description: Do executive coaches have the skill sets necessary for effective partnership with an increasingly diverse workforce? Such inquiry remains unexamined, yet research from similar disciplines casts doubt. Drawing on these findings, a between-subject experiment sampled 129 coaches and examined their willingness to have “difficult conversations” with Black clients. The study investigated two questions in particular: (1) Do coaches provide less critical feedback to Black clients than they do White clients? and (2) Do coaches engage in fewer diversity-based conversations with Black clients than with White clients? The study found that as hypothesized, Black clients received more support, yet less challenge, less constructive feedback, and less time devoted to areas of development than did otherwise identical White clients. Coaches were also twice as likely to provide diversity-related feedback to White executives than they were to Black executives. Put simply, coaches assigned to Black clients chose to sidestep conversations about diversity and development. Substantial implications hold for practitioners, clients, and the greater coaching community. Findings suggested that coaches’ reluctance to provide challenging cross-racial feedback may stem from concern about appearing prejudiced. The result is that leaders of color who receive coaching may be robbed of developmental opportunities offered to White organizational leaders. Thus, the impact of racial dynamics should receive greater attention from U.S.-based coaching certification programs. In particular, institutes should consider mandating coaching supervision as well as incorporating diversity intelligence within their list of core competencies.

description: Quasars have been proposed as a new class of standard candles analogous to Supernovae, as their large redshift range and high luminosities make them excellent candidates. Reverberation mapping (RM) method enables to estimate the distance to the source from the time delay measurement of the emission lines with respect to the continuum, since the time delay depends on the absolute luminosity of the source. This radius-luminosity (RL) relation exhibits a low scatter and it was thus proposed for cosmological purposes. However, in recent years the increase in the studied sample, and in particular the inclusion of highly accreting QSO has increased the dispersion in the RL relation, with many objects showing time delays shorter than the expected.

On solutions of a class of non-Markovian Fokker-Planck equations
Creators: name: Sokolov, I. M.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We show that a formal solution of a rather general non-Markovian Fokker-Planck equation can be represented in a form of an integral decomposition and thus can be expressed through the solution of the Markovian equation with the same Fokker-Planck operator. This allows us to classify memory kernels into safe ones, for which the solution is always a probability density, and dangerous ones, when this is not guaranteed. The first situation describes random processes subordinated to a Wiener process, while the second one typically corresponds to random processes showing a strong ballistic component. In this case the non-Markovian Fokker-Planck equation is only valid in a restricted range of parameters, initial and boundary conditions.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird über Messungen mit Wechselstrom berichtet, die mit Hilfe einer besonderen Meßbrücke an galvanischen Zellen durchgeführt worden sind. Die Brücke erlaubt im Frequenzgebiet 5Hz bis 100kHz Messungen bis 10000 [my]F und 100 Siemens.
Die so erhaltenen Werte für die kapazitive und reelle Komponente der inneren Scheinleitfähigkeit der Zellen werden in die entsprechenden Widerstandsgrößen umgewandelt und dann in ein rechtwinkliges Koordinatensystem eingetragen. So erhält man die Ortskurve in der Widerstandsebene. Nach Möglichkeit wird zu der Ortskurve ein (fünfgliedriges) Ersatzschaltbild angegeben, das dann im Zusammenhang mit der Zelle diskutiert wird. Man erhält damit ein für den Fachmann ausreichendes, wenn auch vereinfachtes Bild der elektrischen Vorgänge in der Zelle und kann - ohne daß die Zelle geöffnet werden muß - getrennte Aussagen über jede der beiden Elektroden und den Elektrolyten gewinnen.
description: In this paper measurements on galvanic cells are reported which have been carried out with alternating current using a special bridge. This bridge can be used at frequencies from 10c to 100kc and for measurements up to 10000 [my]F and 100 Siemens (=[Omega]^-1). The values obtained of the capacitive and real component of the internal virtual conductivity of the cells are transformed into the corresponding values of resistances. By plotting these in rectangular coordinates the argand diagram in the resistance plain is gained. As far as possible for each diagram a substitut circuit diagram, containing five elements, is given which is discussed in connection with the cell. In this way a simplified but, for the specialist, sufficient picture of the electrical processes inside the cell is obtained - without opening the cell - and separate statements about both electrodes and the electrolyte are gained.

Race in the theater

description: The history play is among the United States' oldest theatrical forms, and since its inception the genre has been used to represent and interrogate questions of identity and citizenship. Over the last quarter of the twentieth century until the present day, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of history plays that focus on questions of race and representation. “Race and Performative Historiography in American Theatre, 1991-2014” provides an explanation for this surge, revealing that theatre-makers (playwrights, directors, actors, and designers) drew on a long tradition of metatheatrical techniques on the American stage to make race central to their representation and creation of history.  This dissertation scrutinizes some of these techniques, which I have termed Performative Historiography, as these techniques rewrite the way the audience understands our national and racial past.   Combining extensive performance analysis, archival work, race theory, and American theatre history, "Race and Performative Historiography" expands the discipline's understanding of the role of the theater in representing America’s racial past, present, and future.
      	Each chapter of “Race and Performative Historiography” describes one of these techniques: sedimented time, historical synecdoche, and revision and repetition. These techniques provide theater-makers new ways of making vivid the past, exposing embedded power structures and forms of prejudice, as well thinking through and against national myths and structures of thought. Not only do these chapters describe these techniques, but they trace how these playwrights and directors give new life to older American theatrical forms: elements from minstrelsy (such as black, white, and red face), melodrama, and Living Newspapers of the Federal Theatre Project. Tracing the afterlives of these forms, I reveal how the juxtaposition of these older traditions with contemporary models of representation creates new theatre forms, and shows that even the most daring of the new American playwrights draw on a long and storied tradition. The history play has always been a genre that American playwrights have turned to define who we are, and where we have been, as a nation. "Race and Performative Historiography" dissects the means by which they make those claims.
Custodial transfer of reclaimed mines : barriers and opportunities
Creators: name: McKenna, Gord

description: Mines aim to be temporary users of the land. Environmental impact statements and permit applications typically indicate most or all of the disturbed land will be reclaimed in a timely manner to the satisfaction of the regulator, then returned to the state or another land owner. The land is to be safe and useful for local communities. Accordingly, the ultimate reclamation goal for most sites is to discharge their liabilities and relinquish the land, fulfilling their commitment to society. For a variety of reasons, such land relinquishment is extremely rare. More often the land remains unreclaimed or partially reclaimed and under the control of the mine owner. Furthermore, the mines and their shareholders maintain the liability for their sites and require cash flows from their operating mines to support the closed ones. Commonly, mines are simply abandoned to the state by the bankrupt owner. There is seldom adequate bonding to cover reclamation and maintenance costs and taxpayers assume the liability and control of the property. Plans for post-mining land uses are seldom fulfilled. There is an important opportunity for innovation to allow all stakeholders (mining companies, regulators, local communities) to work collaboratively to make orderly custodial transfer a reality. This paper highlights shortcomings in present approaches, presents an ideal, then discusses barriers, opportunities, and indicates “bright lights” where barriers have been overcome.

description: Dieser Beitrag bringt einen Vorschlag, die Kurtose nach einer neuen Methode zu berechnen. Die Vorteile dieser Methode werden vom statistischen und geologischen Gesichtspunkt aus kurz besprochen. Vielleicht bietet diese neue Berechnung der Kurtose die Möglichkeit, die Sedimente leichter zu differenzieren.
description: The author show the possibility of computing kurtosis in a manner which parallels Wentworth's computation of skewness. They offer for further consideration various suggestions on the possible statistical and sedimentological advantages of this "new" coefficient. Besides the test or check value, the method permits a greater spread of kurtic value in the central area and in addition would perhaps permit a better differentiation between sediments whose frequency size distribution is close to gaussic.
Phase transitions in two-dimensional random Potts models

description: The influence of uncorrelated, quenched disorder on the phase transition of two dimensional Potts models will be reviewed. After an introduction where the conditions of relevance of quenched randomness on phase transitions are exemplified by experimental measurements, the results of perturbative and numerical investigations in the case of the Potts model will be presented. The Potts model is of particular interest, since it can have in the pure case a second-order or a first-order transition, depending on the number of states per spin. In 2D, transfer matrix calculations and Monte Carlo simulations were used in order to check the validity of conformal invariance methods in disordered systems. These techniques were then used to investigate the universality class of the disordered Potts model, in both regimes of the pure model phase transitions. A test of replica symmetry became possible through a study of multiscaling properties and a detailed analysis of the probability distribution of the correlation functions was also made possible.

description: From low-temperature Synchrotron X-ray diffraction, a precise thermal characterization of octahedral distortions in single phase Ruddlesden-Popper Ca3Mn2O7 is performed. Highly sensitive close-steps temperature dependences of Mn-O-Mn bond angles connecting MnO6 octahedra clearly reveal signature of the spin-ordering in the system. Spin-lattice coupling is thus established via the structural distortions responsible for evolution of the magnetic state. Further, temperature anomalies observed here in volume and polarization-measure of the unit cell highlight the interplay between spin, lattice and charge degrees of freedom. Dipole-relaxation characteristics examined under applied magnetic field consistently corroborate the concurrent magnetic and structural changes, in terms of genuine and intrinsic magneto-dielectricity.

description: Judgment TC/0168, along with other anti-Haitian policies undertaken by the Dominican Republic, constitute racial discrimination, and this aspect has severe implications in the process of effectively employing human rights advocacy for change. Human rights violations, when rooted on deeply ingrained racial discrimination, present a set of unique challenges. These violations cannot be effectively addressed with legislation or other negative prescriptions alone. Denouncing or condemning the Dominican government, or demanding changes in legislation are not enough to effectively combat anti-Haitian racial discrimination in the Dominican Republic. Rather, mechanisms to effectively tackle these human rights violations must address the root causes of racial discrimination, a hefty goal that requires measures in the fields of education, culture and information (among other areas), with special attention to the country’s context and historical background.
Race in the Scientific Imagination at the Turn of the Twentieth Century in Brazil and Cuba

description: This dissertation examines the instrumental role played by race in the scientific conceptions of society at the turn of the Twentieth Century in Brazil and Cuba. The examination of scientific rhetoric in the work of Euclides da Cunha and Fernando Ortiz, as well as a large number of photographs, from this period of institutional modernization, identifies the racial variable as the conceptual locus of coexistence and struggle amongst multiple representational regimens produced by anthropology, sociology, literature and medicine. These diverse interdisciplinary matrices of meaning (set forth in texts and images) constructed the foundations of the concept of race through the equivalent notion of exoticism and anomaly as expressions of the axiom of difference. This ideological conceit was offered in countries marked by racial miscegenation as the means for cultural originality as well as the main threat to their political consolidation. This constituent relation of the racial difference, evident in Euclides da Cunha's masterpiece Os sertàµes (1902) or in Fernando Ortiz's early criminological work Los negros brujos (1906), prompted an alternative approach to the critical apparatus that has privileged the analysis of their aesthetic qualities. In addition, the design of ethnographic and medical portraits of the time evidenced a correlation between aesthetic value and biological description in disciplines such as criminal anthropology, tropical medicine or ethnology. This project sheds some light on the particular concern for governability and cultural legitimacy raised at the time by nationalistic ideology which influenced the racial hypothesis offered by Euclides da Cunha and Fernando Ortiz. Nonetheless this crucial aspect has been considered incidental to their intellectual careers. The work of these intellectuals has been canonized into Latin American contemporary history as models for cultural emancipation. Yet, the hypothesis of racial difference they helped to foster have explicitly or implicitly guided the implementation of state policies in culture, public health and police control in Brazil and Cuba. The analysis of the social and scientific uses of photography in the construction of the exotic and the anomalous as racial categories offers an alternative methodological approach indispensable for the reconsideration of photographic production in Latin America during the period of modernization.
