description: Living systems produce copies of information-carrying molecules such as DNA by assembling monomer units into finite-length oligomer (short polymer) copies. We explore the role of initiation and termination of the copy process in the thermodynamics of copying. By splitting the free-energy change of copy formation into informational and chemical terms, we show that copy accuracy plays no direct role in the overall thermodynamics. Instead, it is thermodynamically costly to produce outputs that are more similar to the oligomers in the environment than sequences obtained by randomly sampling monomers. Copy accuracy can be thermodynamically neutral, or even favoured, depending on the surroundings. Oligomer copying mechanisms can thus function as information engines that interconvert chemical and information-based free energy. Hard thermodynamic constraints on accuracy derived for infinite-length polymers instead manifest as kinetic barriers experienced while the copy is template-attached. These barriers are easily surmounted by shorter oligomers.

description: Nach Bohrungsauswertung wird der präquartäre Untergrund und die Basis des glaziären Pleistozäns in Schleswig-Holstein dargestellt. Die Basis des Pleistozäns zeigt Hochgebiete und Rinnensysteme, deren Verlauf weitgehend unabhängig ist von den halokinetisch bedingten Trögen und Salinarstrukturen des Untergrundes. Rinnen in verschiedenen Richtungen sind relativ rasch durch exarative Glazialtektonik und subglaziäre Erosion entstanden. Für viele Rinnen läßt sich ein elstereiszeitliches Alter nachweisen.

Distress tolerance and smoking status: Differences between smokers, former smokers, and never smokers
Creators: name: Raglan, Greta Bielaczyc
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Distress tolerance has been identified as an important predictor of smoking status, with smokers having lower levels of distress tolerance than never smokers. Other studies have linked higher distress tolerance to more successful smoking cessation. Few studies have evaluated these characteristics in former smokers. This study compared scores on both objective and subjective measures of distress tolerance across smokers, former smokers, and never smokers. Eighty-six participants were recruited from the DC metro community (38 smokers, 27 never smokers, and 21 former smokers; 46.5% female). They completed the self-report Frustration Discomfort Scale (FDS) and a Mirror Tracing Task (MTPT) as well as measures of negative affect, nicotine dependence, and urge. While there were no significant differences between groups on measures of negative affect, urge, or the FDS, never smokers persisted significantly longer on the MTPT than either former smokers or current smokers. There was not a significant difference between smokers and former smokers. Treatment implications of these findings as well as implications for future research are discussed.
Die pleistozäne Vereisung und ihre isostatischen Auswirkungen im Bereich des Bellsunds (West-Spitzbergen)
Creators: name: Stäblein, Gerhard
Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1969

description: Aufgrund der morphologischen Formanalyse ist eine pleistozäne Eisbedeckung im Bellsund-Bereich von durchschnittlich 400—800 m nachzuweisen. Das Ansteigen der Schliffgrenze nach E und die nach E führenden Taltröge weisen eine hochglaziale Eisüberfließung von E her nach. Eine zweite tiefere Schliffgrenze aus dem Spätglazial wird am Fjordausgang durch einen westvergenten markanten Schliffbord bei rd. 120 m deutlich. Die heutige Vergletscherung entspricht Gletschervorstößen nach der postglazialen Wärmezeit. Dabei haben die kleineren Talgletscher im Stand vom Ende des 19. Jh. ihre maximale holozäne Ausdehnung erreicht. Nur die größeren Fjordendgletscher zeigen weit vorgeschobene Moränen aus gestauchten, holozänen, marinen Sedimenten. Die Gletscher des Untersuchungsbereichs sind gegenüber der Kartierung von 1936 fast alle zurückgewichen. Fossile Strandlinien holozänen Alters reichen sicher bis 60 m, wahrscheinlich bis 85 m über das heutige Meeresniveau. Höhere Hangstufen bis 264 m sind Struktur-Terrassen mit Konglomeratgeröllstreu. Die Landhebung wird aufgefaßt als die elasto-plastische Reaktion der Erdkruste auf die quartäre Eisbelastung und Eisentlastung, die einer älteren Hebungstendenz aufgeprägt ist. Die besonders breite 20-m-Terrasse dürfte einer Phase des Ausgleichs von glazial-isostatischer Landhebung und glazial-eustatischem Meeresspiegelanstieg entsprechen. Da die marinen Terrassen im Bereich der 70 km langen Fjorde keine Verkippung zeigen, ist die Landhebung hier anders als im Ostteil Spitzbergens, nicht parallel zur nach W abnehmenden Eisbelastung, sondern im Block erfolgt. Die regionalen Ergebnisse werden mit bisherigen Ergebnissen aus anderen Gebieten Spitzbergens verglichen.

description: We study second-order PDEs in 4D for which the conformal structure defined by the characteristic variety of the equation is half-flat (self-dual or anti-self-dual) on every solution. We prove that this requirement implies the Monge-Ampere property. Since half-flatness of the conformal structure is equivalent to the existence of a nontrivial dispersionless Lax pair, our result explains the observation that all known scalar second-order integrable dispersionless PDEs in dimensions four and higher are of Monge-Ampere type. Some partial classification results of Monge-Ampere equations in 4D with half-flat conformal structure are also obtained.

description: Resumo Extraído de um estudo mais amplo sobre expressões arquitetónicas em aldeias portuguesas no último século, este working paper aborda discursos e práticas de construção e usos de moradias desde meados dos anos 70’s até ao presente etnográfico. A partir de um caso de estudo multisituado – Portugal-Ourém / França-Vale do Marne, acompanhamos a trajetória profissional, familiar e social de residentes e (re)emigrantes, a qual reflete transformações significativas nas relações dos indivíduos com os campos, ao mesmo tempo que transmite a reprodução parcial de imagens de portugalidade em França. Nos anos 70 os (ex-) emigrantes portugueses importaram de França a “casa emigrante”, hoje, os (re)migrantes portugueses exportam para França a “casa portuguesa”. A casa e/imigrante – erguida em Portugal e em França – é o referente desta discussão. Serve como barómetro de recomposições identitárias nos “portugueses de França”, associadas a fenómenos de globalização, transnacionalismo, emblematização do popular e hibridismo.

description: Tracking a financial index boils down to replicating its trajectory of returns for a well-defined time span by investing in a weighted subset of the securities included in the benchmark. Picking the optimal combination of assets becomes a challenging NP-hard problem even for moderately large indices consisting of dozens or hundreds of assets, thereby requiring heuristic methods to find approximate solutions. Hybrid quantum-classical optimization with variational gate-based quantum circuits arises as a plausible method to improve performance of current schemes. In this work we introduce a heuristic pruning algorithm to find weighted combinations of assets subject to cardinality constraints. We further consider different strategies to respect such constraints and compare the performance of relevant quantum ansätze and classical optimizers through numerical simulations.

description: In physics and materials science, elasticity is the ability of a body to resist a distorting influence and to return to its original size and shape when that influence or force is removed. Solid objects will deform when adequate loads are applied to them; if the material is elastic, the object will return to its initial shape and size after removal. This is in contrast to plasticity, in which the object fails to do so and instead remains in its deformed state. The physical reasons for elastic behavior can be quite different for different materials. In metals, the atomic lattice changes size and shape when forces are applied (energy is added to the system). When forces are removed, the lattice goes back to the original lower energy state. For rubbers and other polymers, elasticity is caused by the stretching of polymer chains when forces are applied.

The presence of supposedly primitive human tools along the upper reaches of the Kizil Irmak in Anatolia

description: Die ersten Angaben über Flußterrassen in Ost-Anatolien wurden vor kurzem durch Izbirak (1962) und Ketin (1962) gemacht. Die Verfasser der vorliegenden Arbeit haben eine rasche und noch oberflächliche Exploration eines Terrassensystems von fünf bis sieben verschiedenen Niveaus ausgeführt entlang dem oberen Lauf des großen Kizil Irmak (des Roten Flusses) zwischen Sivas und Kayseri in Ost-Anatolien. Teilweise ist es die von Izbirak beschriebene Gegend, größtenteils geht sie aber über diese hinaus. Die Terrassenflächen sind ziemlich gleichmäßig entwickelt entlang des genannten Teils des Flusses, verschwinden aber plötzlich weiter unterhalb. Die Verfasser meinen mit Izbirak, daß die Entstehung dieser Terrassen wahrscheinlich in erster Linie tektonisch und erst an zweiter Stelle klimatisch bedingt ist. Die dritte Terrasse (von unten an gezählt) enthielt überall eine nur geringe Zahl vermutlicher primitiver Artefakten, unter ihnen einige „pebble-tools". Diese sind in vorliegendem Aufsatz beschrieben; sie stellen vielleicht einen Beweis für die Anwesenheit von frühpleistozänen Hominiden in der Türkei dar. In einem Fall wurde in dieser dritten Terrasse ein fossiler Molar eines Hipparion in situ gefunden, teilweise bedeckt mit demselben versteinerten roten Lehm, welcher auch einige der vermutlichen Artefakten einhüllte. Das Alter der Terrassen ist noch nicht genau bekannt. Es scheint aber, daß die ältesten und höchstgelegenen Tertiär sind, die Terrasse, welche die Artefakten enthält, vielleicht dem untersten Pleistozän angehört, und die untersten Terrassen in das junge Pleistozän oder gar Holozän zu stellen sind.

Child protection mediation : mediator strategies for managing the process
Creators: name: Braun, Joy Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In this study fourteen child protection mediators responded to questions about their work through questionnaires, interviews, or both, and grounded theory methodology was used. The data was analyzed and the following four themes emerged: describing the process, explaining the process, strategies for managing the process, and evaluating success in managing the process. Key findings were that there are differences between the process issues that exist in the child protection context as compared to other types of mediation, successful process management strategies include having a pre-mediation orientation session and using non-party participants as a positive influence, and success is indicated by changes in the communication between the parties or personal empowerment as well as by whether an agreement is reached.
Chern-Simons Extension of ESK Theory

description: The commonly-known Chern-Simons extension of Einstein gravitational theory is written in terms of a square-curvature term added to the linear-curvature Hilbert Lagrangian. In a recent paper, we constructed two Chern-Simons extensions according to whether they consisted of a square-curvature term added to the square-curvature Stelle Lagrangian or of one linear-curvature term added to the linear-curvature Hilbert Lagrangian [Ref. 4]. The former extension gives rise to the topological extension of the re-normalizable gravity, the latter extension gives rise to the topological extension of the least-order gravity. This last theory will be written here in its torsional completion. Then a consequence for cosmology and particle physics will be addressed.

Essays on the Economics of Family Interactions
Creators: name: Reilly, Susan Marie
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation consists of two papers that address issues of interactions within households. The first paper develops and tests a bargaining framework for explaining recidivism in domestic violence. It predicts that the decision to recidivate is influenced by beliefs about whether the abused partner will leave if the violence continues, level of satisfaction with the relationship, and marginal utility of violence. Using victim interview data, I find limited evidence to support the hypothesis that some of the characteristics of a woman can have an impact on recidivism. Instead, I find strong evidence that the characteristics of the man are much more important. The evidence also supports the hypothesis that education increases the likelihood that a woman is a "leaving" type and that high relationship capital decreases the likelihood she is a "staying" type.The second paper uses propensity score matching to estimate the impact that living in a multigenerational household (including the child's mother and at least one maternal grandparent) has on test scores for children of the NLSY79. If the addition of a grandparent adds more resources (for example: income and care) to the household than s/he uses, child test scores will increase. If grandparents use more resources than they add, household resources will be diluted and child test scores will decrease. After using propensity score matching and child-level fixed effects, I find evidence that children living in these households score lower on tests than those who do not.

description: We performed Langevin dynamics simulations of amphiphilic polymers that contain strongly associating stickers connected by long soluble chain segments. We explored the aging of a thermoreversible gel which is crosslinked by aggregates (clusters) of the stickers and observed a dramatic increase of their lifetime with aging. We find that the observed aging is the result of structural reorganization of the network: the number of crosslinks decreases with time as small clusters disintegrate and their stickers are reabsorbed by large clusters that grow and become more stable by forming additional intramolecular associations between their stickers.

description: As Nile Breweries and Uganda Breweries have begun purchasing barley from Ugandan farmers, they have insisted that their sales support economic development in the country. While these breweries' competition for raw materials has the potential to provide smallholder barley farmers with increased income and access to credit, it may also encourage alcohol consumption and exacerbate environmental degradation. This paper explores whether and in what ways barley farmers in Kapchorwa, Bukwa, and Kween Districts, in eastern Uganda, benefit from selling their produce to Nile Breweries and Uganda Breweries. It pays particular attention to the breweries' intended effects on respondents' incomes, expenditures, and access to credit, as well as the potential unintended consequences of barley production on respondents' alcohol consumption and environmental stewardship. The author relies both on narratives and on econometric analysis to draw conclusions about the effect of breweries' demand for raw materials on domestic smallholders.

description: The article examines a problem relevant to the national security of the state, the possibility of applying economic and mathematical models to predict the prospects for the development of the space industry. In modern conditions the, space industry is seen as the basis for innovative development and economic security of the state, which is the driving force of economic development. After all, in order to sustainably develop the economy and achieve the indicators planned by the government, it is necessary to have a clear idea of the mechanisms and function of the system as a whole and its individual parts. That is why competent forecasting of the main indicators of the development of the space industry with the identification of key factors influencing it is especially relevant at the present stage. Forecasting of indicators, based on the construction of economic and mathematical models of industry development. It is determined that the construction of this model begins with the development of a specification of the model, which includes a verbal description of the study, followed by a presentation of the process of its operation in the form of mathematical formulas. It is important to clearly formulate and define the problem, as well as to identify all the factors and patterns that characterize the functioning of the system. Economic and mathematical models can increase the efficiency of the planning system of the industry and increase the accuracy of the process of forecasting its development. The successful development of the space industry today becomes a necessary condition for preserving national sovereignty both in the military-political aspect and in the field of information security.

description: This paper discusses recent publications of the LEP collaborations DELPHI, L3 and OPAL on searches for Higgs bosons motivated by MSSM scenarios as well as their interpretation in the MSSM. With the final publication of the LEP collaborations available or awaited, more and more interpretations in different MSSM models, including both CP conserving and CP violating, become available. Also specialized analyses close open areas in the parameter space. In the same time, better theoretical calculations with an increased maximal mass of the Higgs boson were presented. Both the new scenarios as well as the new theoretical limit on $m_{\mathrm{h}}$ has consequences for the limits from LEP. The searches, the models in which they are interpreted and the implications of the LEP results for future SUSY searches, especially on the $\tanβ$ limit, are presented here.

title: Intuition
Creators: name: Saunders, Akencia
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: Intuition is a proud blend of speculative fiction and police procedural. It follows the story of Danielle Thompson, a detective in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the year 2087. In this future, humans evolved to have mental or physical abilities, called Extras. These abilities, or Extras, can vary from the ability to fly—like the main character—to the ability to influence the emotions of anyone around you. This evolution created a divide as society adapted. Supers, those with Extras, and Non-Supers, those without. Intuition is set fifty years after Supers were initially discovered, leaving our characters in a seemingly assimilated and accepting society. Dani Thompson is a 28-year-old Super who works for the Pittsburgh police department and is only just beginning to understand and accept her Extras. She works closely with her partner, Dave Umbrage, and her boss, Elise Renault, in the Super Crime Unit to solve crimes specifically related to and involving Supers in the greater Pittsburgh area. Intuition begins as Dani struggles to control her second Extra, Intuition. And she discovers that a string of seemingly unrelated cases may have a larger, more dangerous, connection. Intuition works to examine the complexity and intrinsic nature of oppression through the lens of speculative fiction. Using this genre, I hope to craft an exploration of discrimination while maintaining a compelling narrative.

A geometrical interpretation for the properties of multiband optical variability of the blazar S5 0716+714

description: We present the results of multiband observations of the blazar S5 0716+714 intra-night variability performed during 23 nights in the period from 04.2014 through 04.2015. The bluer-when-brighter trend is detected in both intra- and inter-night data. We assume that the jet component crossing the region where the medium becomes transparent to the optical radiation forms almost all optical emission of S5 0716+714. Deviations of some parts of the component from the general trajectory of the component can cause the Doppler factor of these parts to increase. Various maximum Doppler factors achieved by these parts of the component and different volumes occupied by them with the concave synchrotron self-absorption spectrum result in both the observed various color index behavior in variability and explain the absence of dependence of the bluer-when-brighter behavior on the object magnitude. We estimated spectral maximum frequency $ν_\text{m}\approx\left( 0.6-1.7\right)\cdot10^{14}$ Hz from intra- and inter-night data. Assuming that the size of emitting region is comparable with the gravitational radius of a black hole with a mass of $5\cdot10^8$ solar masses, the magnetic field obtained from synchrotron self-absorption is $B\sim10^2-10^4$ G, which corresponds to the values of other independent estimations. The obtained values of $ν_\text{m}$ and $B$ confirm our assumption about the nature of the blazar S5 0716+714 region radiating in the optical range.

An example of this kind is provided. The example leads to the proof of the theorem: A Galilean invariant Schrödinger equation derived from a lagrangian density obeys the Ehrenfest theorem. The theorem holds for any linear or nonlinear lagrangian.

description: This study uses interviews, financial documents, and public materials to examine the relationships between five nonprofit theatres and their respective education departments. After analyzing commonalities among the relationships, the researcher identifies five indicators that reveal the nature of the relationship between the education department and the rest of the organization. These indicators are (1) the reason behind the education department's foundation, (2) the ability of the education director to connect with other departments within the organization, (3) the capability of the education department to find and foster contributions, (4) the capacity of the education programs to earn an income, and (5) the use of data to link the education department with a positive future of the organization. Finally, by comparing the five theatres, the research begins to make connections to the overall field of educational theatre and recommends ways to increase educational advocacy within theatre organizations as a way to protect the future of education departments.

description: Context: The shape of the mass density profiles of cosmological halos informs us of the nature of DM and DM-baryons interactions. Previous estimates of the inner slope of the mass density profiles of clusters of galaxies are in opposition to predictions derived from numerical simulations of CDM. Aims: We determine the inner slope of the DM density profile of a massive cluster of galaxies, Abell S1063 (RXC J2248.7$-$4431) at $z=0.35$, with a dynamical analysis based on an extensive spectroscopic campaign carried out with the VIMOS and MUSE spectrographs at the ESO VLT. This new data set provides an unprecedented sample of 1234 spectroscopic members, 104 of which are located in the cluster core (R < 200 kpc), extracted from the MUSE integral field spectroscopy. The latter also allows the stellar velocity dispersion profile of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) to be measured out to 40 kpc. Methods: We used an upgraded version of the MAMPOSSt technique to perform a joint maximum likelihood fit to the velocity dispersion profile of the BCG and to the velocity distribution of cluster member galaxies over a radial range from 1 kpc to the virial radius (~ 2.7 Mpc). Results: We find a value of $γ_{DM} =0.99 \pm 0.04$ for the inner logarithmic slope of the DM density profile after marginalizing over all the other parameters. The newly determined dynamical mass profile is found to be in excellent agreement with the mass density profiles obtained from the independent X-ray hydrostatic analysis based on deep Chandra data, as well as the strong and weak lensing analyses. Our value of γ_{DM} is in very good agreement with predictions from cosmological CDM simulations. We will extend our analysis to more clusters in future works. If confirmed on a larger cluster sample, our result makes this DM model more appealing than alternative models.

description: The expected distributions of eclipse-depth versus period for eclipsing binaries of different luminosities are derived from large-scale population synthesis experiments. Using the rapid Hurley et al. BSE binary evolution code, we have evolved several hundred million binaries, starting from various simple input distributions of masses and orbit-sizes. Eclipse probabilities and predicted distributions over period and eclipse-depth (P/dm) are given in a number of main-sequence intervals, from O-stars to brown dwarfs. The comparison between theory and Hipparcos observations shows that a standard (Duquennoy & Mayor) input distribution of orbit-sizes (a) gives reasonable numbers and P/dm-distributions, as long as the mass-ratio distribution is also close to the observed flat ones. A random pairing model, where the primary and secondary are drawn independently from the same IMF, gives more than an order of magnitude too few eclipsing binaries on the upper main sequence. For a set of eclipsing OB-systems in the LMC, the observed period-distribution is different from the theoretical one, and the input orbit distributions and/or the evolutionary environment in LMC has to be different compared with the Galaxy. A natural application of these methods are estimates of the numbers and properties of eclipsing binaries observed by large-scale surveys like Gaia.

description: The article examines a problem relevant to the national security of the state, the possibility of applying economic and mathematical models to predict the prospects for the development of the space industry. In modern conditions the, space industry is seen as the basis for innovative development and economic security of the state, which is the driving force of economic development. After all, in order to sustainably develop the economy and achieve the indicators planned by the government, it is necessary to have a clear idea of the mechanisms and function of the system as a whole and its individual parts. That is why competent forecasting of the main indicators of the development of the space industry with the identification of key factors influencing it is especially relevant at the present stage. Forecasting of indicators, based on the construction of economic and mathematical models of industry development. It is determined that the construction of this model begins with the development of a specification of the model, which includes a verbal description of the study, followed by a presentation of the process of its operation in the form of mathematical formulas. It is important to clearly formulate and define the problem, as well as to identify all the factors and patterns that characterize the functioning of the system. Economic and mathematical models can increase the efficiency of the planning system of the industry and increase the accuracy of the process of forecasting its development. The successful development of the space industry today becomes a necessary condition for preserving national sovereignty both in the military-political aspect and in the field of information security.

description: We consider high temperature KMS states for quantum spin systems on a lattice. We prove a large deviation principle for the distribution of empirical averages $\frac{1}{|Λ|} \sum_{i\inΛ} X_i$, where the $X_i$'s are copies of a self-adjoint element $X$ (level one large deviations). From the analyticity of the generating function, we obtain the central limit theorem. We generalize to a level two large deviation principle for the distribution of $\frac{1}{|Λ|}\sum_{i\inΛ} δ_{X_i}$.

description: A major constraint in physiological studies of the Musaceae is the large size of plants and their component parts. Basic growth measurements of field plants are often difficult and become even more so under growth control environments. Physiological measurements such as leaf photosynthesis (Pn), stomatal conductance (Cs), leaf transpiration (Tr) and leaf water potential (LWP) can also be problematic particularly when measurements require whole leaf or other plant partsJ. The present studies were part of a Caribbean Basin Agric. (CBAG)- USDA project to investigate the influence of container temperature on growth and physiology of selected fruit and ornamental species. Banana was one of the fruit test species and tissue cultured plantlets were utilized as a convenient form for studying root-zone temperature (RZT) and irrigation volume (IRV) effects on growth and physiology. Because of the convenient size of plantlets, a whole range of studies were done and described to include growth, carbohydrate (CHO) analysis, root electrolyte studies, Pn, Cs, Tr and leaf chlorophyll analysis. All physiological measurements were done simultaneously using a portable gas exchange system. A brief review of the methods and resulting data are described.

description: Solid mechanics, also known as mechanics of solids, is the branch of continuum mechanics that studies the behavior of solid materials, especially their motion and deformation under the action of forces, temperature changes, phase changes, and other external or internal agents. A solid is a material that can support a substantial amount of shearing force over a given time scale during a natural or industrial process or action. This is what distinguishes solids from fluids, because fluids also support normal forces which are those forces that are directed perpendicular to the material plane across from which they act and normal stress is the normal force per unit area of that material plane. Shearing forces in contrast with normal forces, act parallel rather than perpendicular to the material plane and the shearing force per unit area is called shear stress. Therefore, solid mechanics examines the shear stress, deformation and the failure of solid materials and structures.
