description: GENUS DICTYOPLAX GEN. NOV.   Diagnosis: Auloplacidae with body form as a widely spread funnel attached to hard substratum by a short central stalk; a network of marginal atrial grooves or dermal ridges develop into a network of tubules by closure of the grooves atrially. The tubules are all interconnected by a branching and anastomosing lumen system, but share the common two-dimensional atrial surface of the whole specimen. Spicules consist of surficial pentactine and tyloscopule megascleres, uncinates, oxyhexasters, and their variant microscleres.
 Type species: Dictyoplax lecus sp. nov.
 Etymology: The genus name, ‘ Dictyoplax ’, is formed from ‘ diktyon ’, Gk for net, and ‘ plax ’, Gk for plate; the gender is masculine.
 Remarks: The new species described below cannot be assigned to the only recent genus of the family, Auloplax, because of the differences in its method of tubule formation, in its body form, and in spicules from the three known species of that genus. Erection of a new monospecific genus is thus required to enable the placement of the new species in the present Linnean classification system of the Hexactinellida. Dictyoplax lecus gen. et sp. nov. extends the known geographic range of family Auloplacidae to the north-west Atlantic region; the taxon was so far only known from the north-east Atlantic and New Zealand waters (Reiswig, 2002b; Reiswig & Kelly, 2011).

description: Imaging the bio-impedance distribution of the brain can provide initial diagnosis of acute stroke. This paper presents a compact and non-radiative tomographic modality, i.e. multi-frequency Electromagnetic Tomography (mfEMT), for the initial diagnosis of acute stroke. The mfEMT system consists of 12 channels of gradiometer coils with adjustable sensitivity and excitation frequency. To solve the image reconstruction problem of mfEMT, we propose an enhanced Frequency-Constrained Sparse Bayesian Learning (FC-SBL) to simultaneously reconstruct the conductivity distribution at all frequencies. Based on the Multiple Measurement Vector (MMV) model in the Sparse Bayesian Learning (SBL) framework, FC-SBL can recover the underlying distribution pattern of conductivity among multiple images by exploiting the frequency constraint information. A realistic 3D head model was established to simulate stroke detection scenarios, showing the capability of mfEMT to penetrate the highly resistive skull and improved image quality with FC-SBL. Both simulations and experiments showed that the proposed FC-SBL method is robust to noisy data for image reconstruction problems of mfEMT compared to the single measurement vector model, which is promising to detect acute strokes in the brain region with enhanced spatial resolution and in a baseline-free manner.

description: Since 2000, international development institutions in the U.S. and U.K. have become more focused on evidence of effectiveness. Donors have embraced the narrative promoted by a group of elite development economists that randomized control trials (RCTs) produce the most rigorous evidence of “what works” and have funded thousands of experimental and quasi-experimental studies. Three articles ask what these new studies and narratives about research mean for two groups of practitioners—one in Washington, DC, and one in Kampala, Uganda. Do they find these studies or other types of research relevant, credible and useful to their work designing and managing programs? How do they perceive the narrative that RCTs constitute the most important type of development research? Practitioners interviewed see several potential uses of research in their work, but they face numerous challenges pursuing those uses. They question the recent emphasis on RCTs and see research agendas driven by northern academics and donors as unresponsive to their most pressing needs and questions. These findings suggest that research could be more useful to practitioners if research agendas were broader and agenda-setting were more democratic.

description: We review the subject of Kahler anomalies in gauged supergravity, emphasizing that field equations are inconsistent when the Kahler potential is non-invariant under gauge transformations or when there are elementary Fayet-Iliopoulos couplings. Flux vacua solutions of string theory with gauged U(1) shift symmetries appear to avoid this problem. The covariant Kahler anomalies involve tensors which are composite functions of the scalars as well as the gauge field strength and space-time curvature tensors. Anomaly cancellation conditions will be discussed in a sequel to this paper.

description: Electronic correlations stemming from nearly flat bands in van der Waals materials have demonstrated to be a powerful playground to engineer artificial quantum matter, including superconductors, correlated insulators and topological matter. This phenomenology has been experimentally observed in a variety of twisted van der Waals materials, such as graphene and dichalcogenide multilayers. Here we show that spontaneously buckled graphene can yield a correlated state, emerging from an elastic pseudo Landau level. Our results build on top of recent experimental findings reporting that, when placed on top of hBN or NbSe$_2$ substrates, wrinkled graphene sheets relax forming a periodic, long-range buckling pattern. The low-energy physics can be accurately described by electrons in the presence of a pseudo-axial gauge field, leading to the formation of sublattice-polarized Landau levels. Moreover, we verify that the high density of states at the zeroth Landau level leads to the formation of a periodically modulated ferrimagnetic groundstate, which can be controlled by the application of external electric fields. Our results indicate that periodically strained graphene is a versatile platform to explore emergent electronic states arising from correlated elastic Landau levels.

description: The interplay of quantum anomalies with strong magnetic field and vorticity in chiral systems could lead to novel transport phenomena, such as the chiral magnetic effect (CME), the chiral magnetic wave (CMW) and the chiral vortical effect (CVE). In high-energy nuclear collisions, these chiral effects may survive the expansion of a quark-gluon plasma fireball and be detected in experiments. The experimental searches for the CME, the CMW and the CVE, have aroused extensive interest over the past couple of decades. The main goal of this article is to review latest experimental progress in search for these novel chiral transport phenomena at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at BNL and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Future programs to help reduce uncertainties and facilitate the interpretation of the data are also discussed.

description: We use a large $N$-body simulation to study the relation of the structural properties of dark matter halos to their assembly history and environment. The complexity of individual halo assembly histories can be well described by a small number of principal components (PCs), which, compared to formation times, provide a more complete description of halo assembly histories and have a stronger correlation with halo structural properties. Using decision trees built with the random ensemble method, we find that about $60\%$, $10\%$, and $20\%$ of the variances in halo concentration, axis ratio, and spin, respectively, can be explained by combining four dominating predictors: the first PC of the assembly history, halo mass, and two environment parameters. Halo concentration is dominated by halo assembly. The local environment is found to be important for the axis ratio and spin but is degenerate with halo assembly. The small percentages of the variance in the axis ratio and spin that are explained by known assembly and environmental factors suggest that the variance is produced by many nuanced factors and should be modeled as such. The relations between halo intrinsic properties and environment are weak compared to their variances, with the anisotropy of the local tidal field having the strongest correlation with halo properties. Our method of dimension reduction and regression can help simplify the characterization of the halo population and clarify the degeneracy among halo properties.

Life cycle assessment improvements of Frederic Lasserre building at University of British Columbia

description: Previous cradle to gate life cycle assessment work on the Frederic Lasserre building of UBC was restructured and improved. This study took the previous Lasserre Impact Estimator model, reorganized the buildings construction to CIQS format, thoroughly inspected the previous model for material, property type, and geometric flaws, carried out improvement strategies regnerated the IE model with results, and finally developed a campus wide benchmark for comparative assertion. From life cycle stage results it was clearly demonstrated that the product stage weighs heavily on impact for a cradle to gate analysis. From a CIQS elemental standpoint A22-Upper Floor Construction, A32-Walls above Grade and B11-Partitions are noted as hotspots in the Lasserre building contributing the majority of the seven impact categories assessed. The Lasserre building in comparison to the developed benchmark performed below average as a whole and had particularly weak performance in elements B11-Interior Partitions and A32-Walls above Grade. Global warming potential was determined to be the most salient impact from class aversion survey results. This led to a GWP versus construction cost (2013 $). In this comparison it was found that older UBC buildings tended to perform better than newer ones. The results and recommendations from the study and all others in the collective project aid towards the operation of LCA methods in practice at UBC. Useful for the Universities sustainability ambitions and targets, the study has also provided students with the applicable hands on experience at tackling the expanse nature of a building LCA.

description: We compute the zero bias conductance of electrons through a single ballistic channel weakly coupled to a side quantum dot with Coulomb interaction. In contrast to the standard setup which is designed to measure the transport through the dot, the channel conductance reveals Coulomb blockade dips rather then peaks due to the Fano-like backscattering. At zero temperature the Kondo effect leads to the formation of broad valleys of small conductance corresponding to an odd number of electrons on the dot. By applying a magnetic field in the dot region we find two dips corresponding to a total suppression in the conductance of spins up and down separated by an energy of the order of the Coulomb interaction. This provides a possibility of a perfect spin filter.

The results indicate that the consumption motivation of college students in western-style fast food restaurants includes six types: social motivation, conformity motivation, show-off motivation, self-hedonic motivation, quality-pursuing motivation, and self-gift giving motivation. The overall characteristics of college students' consumption behavior in western-style fast food restaurants include six characteristics: consumption period, consumption frequency, ways of information access, consumption amount, product preference, and consumption willingness. There are significant differences in the consumption behavior between different college students. Different college students are different in consumption period, consumption frequency, ways of information access, consumption amount, product preference, and consumption willingness. Based on the above results, it came up with pertinent marketing recommendations.
Does the mean-field alpha effect have any impact on the memory of the solar cycle?

description: Predictions of solar cycle 24 obtained from advection-dominated and diffusion-dominated kinematic dynamo models are different if the Babcock-Leighton mechanism is the only source of the poloidal field. Yeates et al. (2008) argue that the discrepancy arises due to different memories of the solar dynamo for advection- and diffusion-dominated solar convection zones. We aim to investigate the differences in solar cycle memory obtained from advection-dominated and diffusion-dominated kinematic solar dynamo models. Specifically, we explore whether the inclusion of Parker's mean-field $α$ effect, in addition to the Babcock-Leighton mechanism, has any impact on the memory of the solar cycle. We used a kinematic flux transport solar dynamo model where poloidal field generation takes place due to both the Babcock-Leighton mechanism and the mean-field $α$ effect. We additionally considered stochastic fluctuations in this model and explored cycle-to-cycle correlations between the polar field at the minima and toroidal field at cycle maxima. Solar dynamo memory is always limited to only one cycle in diffusion-dominated dynamo regimes while in advection-dominated regimes the memory is distributed over a few solar cycles. However, the addition of a mean-field alpha effect reduces the memory of the solar dynamo to within one cycle in the advection-dominated dynamo regime when there are no fluctuations in the mean-field $α$ effect. When fluctuations are introduced in the mean-field poloidal source a more complex scenario is evident, with very weak but significant correlations emerging across a few cycles. Our results imply that inclusion of a mean-field alpha effect in the framework of a flux transport Babcock-Leighton dynamo model leads to additional complexities that may impact memory and predictability of predictive dynamo models of the solar cycle.

description: We introduce the notion of Gauss-Landau-Hall magnetic field on a Riemannian surface. The corresponding Landau-Hall problem is shown to be equivalent to the dynamics of a massive boson. This allows one to view that problem as a globally stated, variational one. In this framework, flowlines appear as critical points of an action with density depending on the proper acceleration. Moreover, we can study global stability of flowlines. In this equivalence, the massless particle model correspond with a limit case obtained when the force of the Gauss-Landau-Hall increases arbitrarily. We also obtain new properties related with the completeness of flowlines for a general magnetic fields. The paper also contains new results relative to the Landau-Hall problem associated with a uniform magnetic field. For example, we characterize those revolution surfaces whose parallels are all normal flowlines of a uniform magnetic field.

description: RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN CERCOMACROIDES
 The new genus Cercomacroides comprises nigrescens, laeta, parkeri, tyrannina, and serva. In the concatenated tree, all internal nodes within Cercomacroides received high posterior probability support, but low or no ML bootstrap support (Fig. 3). An incongruent signal between the mitochondrial and nuclear markers was uncovered in this group, and the concatenated tree was biased toward the FIB5 signal (see discussion above and Figs 3–5). The main difference between these two topologies is regarding the identity of the taxon sister to the rest of the group: nigrescens in the mtDNA tree, and laeta in the FIB5 tree (Fig. 5). Both major data sets supported a close relationship between serva and tyrannina (although support in the mitochondrial tree was low; Fig. 4A), which was not expected due to the great plumage similarity between tyrannina and parkeri (Graves, 1997). Overall similarities in male and female vocalizations (based on the analysis of vocalizations from Isler & Whitney, 2002) and plumage coloration (Graves, 1997; Zimmer & Isler, 2003) suggest that parkeri is closer to tyrannina and serva than to laeta or nigrescens, but do not provide clear evidence for the phylogenetic placement of laeta and nigrescens. Full resolution of the internal relationships within Cercomacroides may require the addition of more nuclear markers.

Congolese Intellectuals and State Power: The Case of Les Combattants

Subjects: classificationCode: 4408

description: As an examination of how Congolese intellectuals resist political power, this dissertation studies Les Combattants, a Congolese diaspora network operating primarily in Europe and North America. Vehemently opposed to Joseph Kabila’s administration, Les Combattants launched a series of post-electoral protests in 2011. Though African diasporas have increased their political activism since the end of the Cold War, their strategies and political motivations have not been sufficiently studied. Likewise, research has not thoroughly studied the role of Congolese diaspora and intellectuals in Congolese politics. This is why, in an effort toward a social theory of Congolese intellectuals and as a means for studying Les Combattants, I propose four categories by which Congolese intellectuals interact with political power: 1) entrists seek to control political power, 2) attentists wait for favorable prerequisites to participate in politics, 3) escapists focus on international distribution of power, and 4) pragmatists address polities’ concerns from the bottom-up. I used interviews, online resources, and literature review to conduct a discourse analysis of Les Combattants’ 2011 post-electoral protests. I found the following: 1) Les Combattants’ articulation of grievances against Joseph Kabila, Rwanda, and the international community contains considerable instabilities; 2) their discourse could not significantly mobilize international and domestic support, largely because it conceived political change as the result of top-down international processes; and 3) the political categories Les Combattants proposed are primarily denunciative, unable to convincingly prescribe political transformation. Furthermore, this dissertation concludes that, due to the history of political socialization, Congolese intellectuals who pursue top-down reforms tend to reproduce the status quo rather than challenge established power. Alternatively, this dissertation argues that Congolese intellectuals, at home and abroad, have an opportunity to transform Congolese politics if they directly invest in local grassroots movements and if they help concerned polities address concrete issues from the bottom-up.

Alternatively, this dissertation argues that Congolese intellectuals, at home and abroad, have an opportunity to transform Congolese politics if they directly invest in local grassroots movements and if they help concerned polities address concrete issues from the bottom-up.

description: The birth and death of the first generation of stars have important implications for the thermal state and chemical properties of the intergalactic medium (IGM) in the early universe. Sometime after recombination, the neutral, chemically pristine gas was reionized by ultraviolet photons emitted from the first stars, but also enriched with heavy elements when these stars ended their lives as energetic supernovae. Using the results from previous high-resolution cosmological simulations of early structure formation that include radiative transfer, we show that a significant volume fraction of the IGM can be metal-polluted, as well as ionized, by massive Population III stars formed in small-mass (10^6-10^7 Msun) halos early on. If most of the early generation stars die as pair-instability supernovae with energies up to 10^{53} ergs, the volume-averaged mean metallicity will quickly reach Z ~ 10^{-4}Zsun by a redshift of 15-20, possibly causing a prompt transition to the formation of a stellar population that is dominated by low-mass stars. In this scenario, the early chemical enrichment history should closely trace the reionization history of the IGM, and the end of the Population III era is marked by the completion of reionization and pre-enrichment by z=15. We conclude that, while the pre-enrichment may partially account for the ``metallicity-floor'' in high-redshift Lyman-alpha clouds, it does not significantly affect the elemental abundance in the intracluster medium.

Mindful Breathing With or Without Controlled Yogic Breathing Promotes Smoking Abstinence: A Preliminary Laboratory Investigation
Creators: name: Harris, Julia C.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Mindful attention to breath is often a component of mindfulness-based interventions for smoking, but there has been little research investigating its unique effects on smoking outcomes. The aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of mindful attention to breath with and without a controlled yogic breathing component on smoking behavior. Twelve-hour abstinent daily smokers (N = 36; 39% female; M = 9.89 cigarettes per day; 69% African American) were randomly assigned to a 20 minute intervention consisting of 1. mindful attention to breath (MB); 2. mindful attention to breath with controlled yogic breathing (MYB); or 3. no-treatment (NT) control. During a 50-minute smoking versus money choice task, both MB and MYB significantly reduced the risk of smoking compared to NT with no significant differences between the two. The MB group reported greater increases in feelings of serenity compared to MYB and NT. There were no effects for negative or positive affect, craving, tobacco withdrawal, or state mindfulness. In this preliminary investigation, controlled yogic breathing did not enhance the effectiveness of MB. MB is an easily disseminable and cost-effective strategy that may promote smoking abstinence and should be further explored.
Minimizing the number of optimizations for efficient community dynamic flux balance analysis

description: Dynamic flux balance analysis uses a quasi-steady state assumption to calculate an organism's metabolic activity at each time-step of a dynamic simulation, using the well-known technique of flux balance analysis. For microbial communities, this calculation is especially costly and involves solving a linear constrained optimization problem for each member of the community at each time step. However, this is unnecessary and inefficient, as prior solutions can be used to inform future time steps. Here, we show that a basis for the space of internal fluxes can be chosen for each microbe in a community and this basis can be used to simulate forward by solving a relatively inexpensive system of linear equations at most time steps. We can use this solution as long as the resulting metabolic activity remains within the optimization problem's constraints (i.e. the solution to the linear system of equations remains a feasible to the linear program). As the solution becomes infeasible, it first becomes a feasible but degenerate solution to the optimization problem, and we can solve a different but related optimization problem to choose an appropriate basis to continue forward simulation. We demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of our method by comparing with currently used methods on a four species community, and show that our method requires at least $91\%$ fewer optimizations to be solved. For reproducibility, we prototyped the method using Python. Source code is available at \verb|https://github.com/jdbrunner/surfin_fba|.

description: This paper aims to assess the future of CAP reforms after 2020 in Poland. We provide a comparative analysis in which the impact of uniform and coupled support scenarios are assessed and compared against alternative environmental regulation measures. An agricultural supply model AROPAj is used to highlight the difference between scenarios. Coupled support for protein and legume crops reduces inequality between farm groups. Although crop diversification increases, no drastic land use change has been noticed, thereby reducing N-fertiliser use and GHG emissions. Results vary according to regions and the type of farming and economic size.
Reliability of a high energy one-loop expansion of e+e- --> W+W- in the SM and in the MSSM

description: We compare the logarithmic Sudakov expansions of the process e+e- --> W+W- in the one-loop approximation and in the resummed version, to subleading order accuracy, in the SM case and in a light SUSY scenario for the MSSM. We show that the two expansions are essentially identical below 1 TeV, but differ drastically at higher (2,3 TeV) center of mass energies. Starting from these conclusions, we argue that a complete one-loop calculation in the energy region below 1 TeV does not seem to need extra two-loop corrections, in spite of the relatively large size of the one-loop effects.

description: Public goods provided by different land management practices in European regions have increasingly attained attention in agricultural policy debates. By focusing on the social-ecological systems (SES) framework the systemic interrelations (e.g. drivers, resources, actors, governance regimes and policy impact) in land management across several case studies in various topographical and climatic conditions across ten European Union Member States is provided. The analysis of agricultural and forestry systems reveals a wide range of factors that drive the provision of ‘ecologically and socially beneficial outcomes’ (ESBOs). The respective influencing aspects cannot be reduced to market forces and policy support, but have to address simultaneously the pivotal role of social, cultural and institutional drivers as well. In particular, the tight interplay between public policies and private initiatives, and market mechanisms and societal appreciation of public goods delivery have shown to be the indispensable clue for understanding the relationship shaping the level of provision of public goods. Comparative analyses support the strong reliance on context, history, types of regions and differentiation of management systems which might be used for recommendations in the current debate on the future Common Agricultural Policy.
