description: Objective: The objective was to study the territorial organization strategy of local actors; church, government and population that influenced the evolution and current organization of the town of Santa Ana de Guadalupe after the canonization of the priest Toribio Romo. Design / Methodology / Approach: The local development methodology was applied, through specific interviews with representatives of social partners; local church, government, and population. Results: It was found that the infrastructure and equipment of the Saint’s Temple, which receives more than 700 thousand visitors a year, shows potentialities, strengths and limitations at the locality. Analyzing the territory, through its economic, political, socio-cultural, and environmental axes, it was noted that local development is a process of growth and structural change in which the main interest of the town is to increase employment and meeting the needs and demands of religious pilgrims. As well as favor the appropriate use of the resources, and over-all potential of the locality in order to improve the standard of living of the population. Limitations of the study / Implications: The strategies of cooperation and knowledge of the ecclesiastical agents in conjunction with the government and local population through joint organization contribute to the transformation of Santa Ana de Guadalupe. Findings / Conclusions: It was observed that social partners (church, government and population) collaborate actively. Particularly in ecclesiastical activities to develop strategies (as organization and cooperation) to promote the local development.

Embryo sac development in relation to pollen fertility and seed set in irradiated apple clones
Creators: name: Barritt, Bruce Harold
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Investigations were made of the association among megagametogenesis, pollen morphology, and seed production in two irradiated apple varieties, Golden Delicious and McIntosh, and in two years, 1964 and 1965. In each year eight to ten clones of each variety were selected on the basis of low, medium, and high pollen abortion. Untreated and treated Golden Delicious and McIntosh clones with normal pollen production, approximately 90% and 50% respectively, had the highest proportion of embryo sacs at the differentiated 8-nucleate stage, and the smallest proportion of embryo sacs at the 2- and 4-nucleate stages. Irradiated clones with the least normal pollen had the highest proportion of immature 2- and 4-nucleate embryo sacs. With both varieties and in both years reduced pollen fertility was positively correlated with retarded embryo sac development. Check clones with high pollen fertility had the highest number of developed seeds per fruit and irradiated clones with reduced pollen fertility had the smallest number of developed seeds per fruit. The number of developed seeds per fruit was positively correlated with the proportion of mature 8-nucleate embryo sacs. The reduction in seed numbers in irradiated apple clones with reduced pollen fertility may be explained, in part, by retarded embryo sac development.
Fast Universal Quantum Computation with Railroad-switch Local Hamiltonians
Creators: name: Nagaj, Daniel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present two universal models of quantum computation with a time-independent, frustration-free Hamiltonian. The first construction uses 3-local (qubit) projectors, and the second one requires only 2-local qubit-qutrit projectors. We build on Feynman's Hamiltonian computer idea and use a railroad-switch type clock register. The resources required to simulate a quantum circuit with L gates in this model are O(L) small-dimensional quantum systems (qubits or qutrits), a time-independent Hamiltonian composed of O(L) local, constant norm, projector terms, the possibility to prepare computational basis product states, a running time O(L log^2 L), and the possibility to measure a few qubits in the computational basis. Our models also give a simplified proof of the universality of 3-local Adiabatic Quantum Computation.
description: Added references to work by de Falco et al., and realized that Feynman's '85 paper already contained the idea of a switch in it

Electro-weak $SU(4)_L\otimes U(1)_Y$ models without exotic electric charges

description: For the particular class of \textbf{$SU(4)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{Y}$} electro-weak models without exotic electric charges, some plausible phenomenological predictions - such as the boson mass spectrum and charges of all the fermions involved therein - are made by using the algebraical approach of the exactly solving method for gauge models with high symmetries. Along with the one-parameter resulting mass scale (to be confirmed at TeV scale in LHC, LEP, CDF and other high energy experiments) our approach predicts the exact expressions of the charges (both electric and neutral) in the fermion sector, while all the Standard Model phenomenology is naturally recovered.

Two ~35 day clocks in Her X-1: evidence for neutron star free precession

description: We present evidence for the existence of two ~35 day clocks in the Her X-1/HZ Her binary system. ~35 day modulations are observed 1) in the Turn-On cycles with two on- and two off-states, and 2) in the changing shape of the pulse profiles which re-appears regularly. The two ways of counting the 35 day cycles are generally in synchronization. This synchronization did apparently break down temporarily during the long Anomalous Low (AL3) which Her X-1 experienced in 1999/2000, in the sense that there must have been one extra Turn-On cycle. Our working hypothesis is that there are two clocks in the system, both with a period of about ~35 days: precession of the accretion disk (the less stable "Turn-On clock") and free precession of the neutron star (the more stable "Pulse profile clock"). We suggest that free precession of the neutron star is the master clock, and that the precession of the accretion disk is basically synchronized to that of the neutron star through a feed-back mechanism in the binary system. However, the Turn-On clock can slip against its master when the accretion disk has a very low inclination, as is observed to be the case during AL3. We take the apparent correlation between the histories of the Turn-Ons, of the Anomalous Lows and of the pulse period evolution, with a 5 yr quasi-periodicity, as evidence for strong physical interaction and feed-back between the major components in the system. We speculate that the 5 yr (10 yr) period is either due to a corresponding activity cycle of HZ Her or a natural ringing period of the physical system of coupled components. The question whether free precession really exists in neutron stars is of great importance for the understanding of matter with supra-nuclear density.

description: This paper presents a new method to recover the relative pose between two images, using three points and the vertical direction information. The vertical direction can be determined in two ways: 1- using direct physical measurement like IMU (inertial measurement unit), 2- using vertical vanishing point. This knowledge of the vertical direction solves 2 unknowns among the 3 parameters of the relative rotation, so that only 3 homologous points are requested to position a couple of images. Rewriting the coplanarity equations leads to a simpler solution. The remaining unknowns resolution is performed by an algebraic method using Grobner bases. The elements necessary to build a specific algebraic solver are given in this paper, allowing for a real-time implementation. The results on real and synthetic data show the efficiency of this method.
Learning-rate dependent clustering and self-development in a network of coupled phase oscillators

Subjects: subject: Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems (nlin.AO)

description: We investigate the role of the learning rate in a Kuramoto Model of coupled phase oscillators in which the coupling coefficients dynamically vary according to a Hebbian learning rule. According to the Hebbian theory, a synapse between two neurons is strengthened if they are simultaneously co-active. Two stable synchronized clusters in anti-phase emerge when the learning rate is larger than a critical value. In such a fast learning scenario, the network eventually constructs itself into an all-to-all coupled structure, regardless of initial conditions in connectivity. In contrast, when learning is slower than this critical value, only a single synchronized cluster can develop. Extending our analysis, we explore whether self-development of neuronal networks can be achieved through an interaction between spontaneous neural synchronization and Hebbian learning. We find that self-development of such neural systems is impossible if learning is too slow. Finally, we demonstrate that similar to the acquisition and consolidation of long-term memory, this network is capable of generating and remembering stable patterns.

description: Techno was created in the 1980s by African-American teenagers in Detroit. This thesis is about the role the African-American background of the musicians from Detroit plays in the music and in the way Detroit Techno is perceived. Since Detroit Techno was influenced by African-American music (funk, soul, disco, house, jazz) and European music (new wave, electro-pop, italo-disco, ebm, Kraftwerk) it is a very hybrid form of music that can't easily be classified as "black" or "white" music. But Detroit Techno is often perceived from an European point of view as "black" techno and therefore connected to certain stereotypes, for example as very authentic, "soulful" and "deep". Because of its origin the music holds an exceptional position in the predominantly white European techno scene. On the other hand techno isn't a popular kind of music in the US and mostly ignored by the African-American mainstream. This is besides other reasons because techno in general is perceived as European music, and Detroit Techno is seen as too inauthentic for a wider African- American audience.

description: An analysis of the energy spectrum and the magnetization curve of two-dimensional organic antiferromagnet F2PNNNO with a spin-one dimerized structure shows that a behavior of the compound in an external magnetic field can be explained within a lattice boson model with an extended Pauli's exclusion principle, i.e. no more than two bosons per a dimer. The unusual magnetization curve observed experimentally in the compound reflects a sequence of phase transitions intrinsic for a lattice boson system with strong on-site and inter-site repulsions due to a tuning of magnon density by the applied magnetic field.

Holographic assembly of reconfigurable nanoscale plasmonic and photonic elements

Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2023

description: This report was developed under a DARPA contract for topic Atoms to products. Two primary goals were addressed in this project. In Focus Area 1 (Assembly Development) the goal was to assemble a 10 μm microelement consisting of an anisotropic lattice of ~5000 (~100 nm) dielectric nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in a polymer electrolyte. Successful completion of the objectives of this goal required that NPs be spatially located with nm-scale precision in a polymer matrix at scales up to ~10 μm (total). In Focus Area 2 (Functionality Development) the goal was to establish the efficacy of reconfigurable microelements by demonstrating atomic junction formation/dissolution between core-shell metal NPs in a polymer electrolyte on a model thin-film system. Work on this goal demonstrated that conductive channels can be formed and dissolved between metal NPs. Additional work in Focus Area 2 demonstrated the controllable formation and dissolution of self-limiting nanofilaments connecting multiple NPs (beads-on-a-string morphology) and demonstrated the formation of nanofilaments in self-organized polyelectrolyte nanopores for the growth of Ag nanofilaments by conductive-AFM. Collectively, work on the two focus area goals developed and demonstrated the technology needed for assembly and postassembly reconfigurable wiring of nanoscale optical lattices.
An ansatz for the nonlinear Demkov-Kunike problem for cold molecule formation

Year: 2010

description: We study nonlinear mean-field dynamics of ultracold molecule formation in the case when the external field configuration is defined by the level-crossing Demkov-Kunike model, characterized by a bell-shaped coupling and finite variation of the detuning. Analyzing the fast sweep rate regime of the strong interaction limit, which models a situation when the peak value of the coupling is large enough and the resonance crossing is sufficiently fast, we construct a highly accurate ansatz to describe the temporal dynamics of the molecule formation in the mentioned interaction regime. The absolute error of the constructed approximation is less than 3*10^-6 for the final transition probability while at certain time points it might increase up to 10^-3. Examining the role of the different terms in the constructed approximation, we prove that in the fast sweep rate regime of the strong interaction limit the temporal dynamics of the atom-molecule conversion effectively consists of the process of resonance crossing, which is governed by a nonlinear equation, followed by atom-molecular coherent oscillations which are basically described by a solution of the linear problem, associated with the considered nonlinear one.

description: Abstract Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a complex eye disease characterized by progressive loss of optic nerve function that, if untreated, ultimately leads to irreversible blindness. There is disparity in POAG prevalence and manifestations across ancestries, and to date, the biological mechanisms causing POAG are still unclear. Here, we aimed to identify unique genetics that underlie risk to POAG. We performed POAG meta-analysis across 15 biobanks that are part of the Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative, with two previously published multi-ancestry analyses for a total of 1,478,037 individuals from six ancestries (46,325 cases and 1,431,712 controls). A total of 109 genome-wide significantly associated loci were identified, 18 of which were novel. Three of these novel loci are ancestry-specific, two African-specific and the third specific to northern Europeans. We also identified five sex-specific novel loci, four of which are African-specific and one European-specific. To explore biological implications underlying these variant-trait associations, we performed gene enrichment analysis, gene prioritization analysis and transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) implicating genes related to vascular-related functions, blood vessels, angiogenesis, and cancer. A fifth of TWAS-prioritized genes with vascular-related and/or cell senescence/proliferation functional roles or have been implicated in vascular or neoplastic diseases are primary ciliary related genes. Phenome-wide association analysis of POAG genetic risk burden across five biobanks also show the shared biology between POAG and vascular and neoplastic traits. In summary, our findings suggest that some POAG risk variants may be ancestry-specific, sex-specific, or both. Our findings further support the contribution of vascular and proliferation genes in POAG and suggest potential involvement of primary cilia in POAG pathogenesis.

description: A new analytical approach, beyond rotating wave approximation, based on unitary transformations and the non-Markovian master equation for the density operator, is applied to treat the biased spin boson model with a Lorentzian structured bath for arbitrary detunings at zero temperature. Compared to zero bias, we find that the dynamics demonstrates two more damping oscillation frequencies and one additional relaxation frequency for non-zero bias, where one of the damping oscillation frequencies is a new effect. Analytical expressions for the non-Markovian dynamics and the corresponding spectrum, the localized-delocalized transition point, the coherent-incoherent transition point, the analytical ground energy, the renormalized tunneling factor and the susceptibility are determined. The sum rule and the Shiba relation are checked in the coherent regime.

description: The adoption of the UN 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals is a landmark in international sustainability politics. For example, Europe has set ambitious targets to achieve 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030. However, numerous case studies from different countries have found that accelerating the transition to net-zero carbon emissions is easily hampered by the lack of a coherent systems framework, and that implementation gaps remain at the community level. These barriers are often due to a lack of an adequate end-user (i.e., household) input and early planning participation. This work therefore aims to improve on conventional planning methods that do not reflect innovative technologies with uncertainty and may not be applicable due to the lack of community empowerment, which is a dynamic learning and intervention opportunity for end-users at different planning stages (i.e., outreach, survey, planning, implementation, management, and maintenance). Using the lessons learned from participatory action research, whereby the author was involved as a project director throughout the planning and design process, we identified a six-step cycle principle. The steps are (1) collective action commitments, (2) local values and resource identification, (3) carbon footprint inventory, (4) optimized integration of environment, economy, and energy action plans, (5) Flexible strategic energy system plans, and (6) digital performance monitoring. Ultimately, the outcomes provide application support for policymakers and planners and stimulate community engagement to contribute to the achievement of zero net carbon emissions.

description: We report on the calculation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of W-boson pairs in association with a hard jet at the Tevatron and the LHC, which is an important source of background for Higgs and new-physics searches. Leptonic decays of the W bosons are included by applying an improved version of the narrow-width approximation that treats the W bosons as on-shell particles, but keeps the information on the W spin. Contributions from external bottom quarks are neglected, because they are either numerically suppressed or should be attributed to different processes such as Wt or ttbar production. A survey of differential NLO QCD cross sections is provided both for the LHC and the Tevatron. The QCD corrections stabilize the leading-order prediction for the cross section with respect to scale variations. However, the scale dependence of the next-to-leading order results for the LHC is only reduced considerably if a veto against the emission of a second hard jet is applied. In general, the corrections do not simply rescale the differential leading-order cross sections. In particular, their shapes are distorted if an additional energy scale is involved.

description: This paper describes an imaging microscopic technique based on heterodyne digital holography where subwavelength-sized gold colloids can be imaged in cell environment. Surface cellular receptors of 3T3 mouse fibroblasts are labeled with 40 nm gold nanoparticles, and the biological specimen is imaged in a total internal reflection configuration with holographic microscopy. Due to a higher scattering efficiency of the gold nanoparticles versus that of cellular structures, accurate localization of a gold marker is obtained within a 3D mapping of the entire sample's scattered field, with a lateral precision of 5 nm and 100 nm in the x,y and in the z directions respectively, demonstrating the ability of holographic microscopy to locate nanoparticles in living cells environments.

description: We present an entanglement purification protocol for a mixture of a pure entangled state and a pure product state, which are orthogonal to each other. The protocol is combination of bisection method and one-way hashing protocol. We give recursive formula for the rate of the protocol for different states, i.e. the number of maximally entangled two-qubit pairs obtained with the protocol per a single copy of the initial state. We also calculate numerically the rate for some states.

description: Objective: To analyze sociocultural aspects related to human nourishment and the use of family plots in the community of Bandera de Juárez, Veracruz, México. Methodology: A literature review, together with open interviews and on-field participative observations, knowledge exchange workshops and life storytelling were made. Results: The celebration of the feasts of San Isidro Labrador and All Saints Day were identified as moments for the re-creation of identities and strengthening of links that constitute social networks. They represent major occasions for understanding different productive and sociocultural uses of plots. In these phenomena nourishment is an essential factor. The family plot agroecosystem as a space of social importance sets a socialization and identity development process. Implication: The process players generate awareness on the value of traditional nourishment, the nutritional quality thereof and the rescue of their cultural identity. Findings: The importance of how nourishment “feeds” cultural processes is outlined. Some useful concepts, both for understanding sociocultural aspects of nourishment, the handling and uses of the plot, as well as the justification for the choice of the research method are discussed.
The targum (1968: Nov. 1 - 1968: Nov. 26)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1968

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
Two distinct halo populations in the solar neighborhood. Evidence from stellar abundance ratios and kinematics

description: Precise abundance ratios are determined for 94 dwarf stars with 5200 < Teff < 6300 K, -1.6 < [Fe/H] < -0.4, and distances D < 335 pc. Most of them have halo kinematics, but 16 thick-disk stars are included. Equivalent widths of atomic lines are measured from VLT/UVES and NOT/FIES spectra with resolutions R = 55000 and R = 40000, respectively. An LTE abundance analysis based on MARCS models is applied to derive precise differential abundance ratios of Na, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, and Ni with respect to Fe. The halo stars fall into two populations, clearly separated in [alpha/Fe], where alpha refers to the average abundance of Mg, Si, Ca, and Ti. Differences in [Na/Fe] and [Ni/Fe] are also present with a remarkably clear correlation between these two abundance ratios. The `high-alpha' stars may be ancient disk or bulge stars `heated' to halo kinematics by merging satellite galaxies or they could have formed as the first stars during the collapse of a proto-Galactic gas cloud. The kinematics of the `low-alpha' stars suggest that they have been accreted from dwarf galaxies, and that some of them may originate from the omega Cen progenitor galaxy.

description: The thermal decomposition of graphene oxide (GO) is a complex process at the atomic level and not fully understood. Here, a subclass of GO, oxo‐functionalized graphene (oxo‐G), was used to study its thermal disproportionation. We present the impact of annealing on the electronic properties of a monolayer oxo‐G flake and correlated the chemical composition and topography corrugation by two‐probe transport measurements, XPS, TEM, FTIR and STM. Surprisingly, we found that oxo‐G, processed at 300 °C, displays C−C sp3‐patches and possibly C−O−C bonds, next to graphene domains and holes. It is striking that those C−O−C/C−C sp3‐separated sp2‐patches a few nanometers in diameter possess semiconducting properties with a band gap of about 0.4 eV. We propose that sp3‐patches confine conjugated sp2‐C atoms, which leads to the local semiconductor properties. Accordingly, graphene with sp3‐C in double layer areas is a potential class of semiconductors and a potential target for future chemical modifications.

description: The present article deals with two key drivers of social acceptance of wind energy: procedural justice and distributional justice. It is based on a comparative expert assessment carried out in the frame of the Horizon 2020 project WinWind covering six European countries. The focus of the paper is on procedural and financial participation of citizens and local stakeholders in wind energy projects. The first part covers institutional arrangements for public engagement in two areas of the decision-making process—wind turbine zoning/siting in spatial plans and authorization procedures. Here, three levels of public involvement—information, consultation and participation—were analyzed. The second part examines active and financial participation of citizens and local stakeholders. Here, we distinguish between two different modes of governance: institutionalized forms of public governance and voluntary forms of corporate governance. The outcomes suggest that concrete paths to the social acceptance of wind energy are fostered via appropriate institutional spaces for public engagement. Furthermore, missing opportunities for active and passive financial participation can have strong negative consequences for community acceptance.

Fractal universe and the speed of light: Revision of the universal constants

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: We apply the property of selfsimilarity that corresponds to the concept of a fractal universe, to the dimension of time. It follows that any interval of time, given by any tick of any clock, is proportional to the age of the universe. The fractality of time gives the fractality of space and mass. First consequence is that the speed of light decreases inversely proportional to time, same as the Hubble parameter. We then revise the universal constants and, at the cosmological scale, they are all of order one, as Dirac proposed. We find three different scales, each one separated by a factor of about 5x10^60: the universe, the Planck scale and what we call the sub Planck scale. Integration of the Einstein cosmological equations, for this fractal universe, gives the solution of a non-expanding universe with the present value of the observed numerical parameters. The red shift measured from the distant galaxies is interpreted here as due to the decreasing speed of light in a fractal universe.
