description: In special tests, the active layers of the CALICE Digital Hadron Calorimeter prototype, the DHCAL, were exposed to low energy particle beams, without being interleaved by absorber plates. The thickness of each layer corresponded approximately to 0.29 radiation lengths or 0.034 nuclear interaction lengths, defined mostly by the copper and steel skins of the detector cassettes. This paper reports on measurements performed with this device in the Fermilab test beam with positrons in the energy range of 1 to 10 GeV. The measurements are compared to simulations based on GEANT4 and a standalone program to emulate the detailed response of the active elements.

description: Objective: Using components of the Family Adjustmentand Adaptation Response Model, Critical Race Feminism, and Sites of Resilience, this study explored how street-identified Black American mothers engage in street life, while juggling the pressures of child rearing, family, and home life within a distressed, urban Black community. Background: Street-identified Black American mothers are vilified for their intersecting identities of being Black women who are experiencing poverty, and who may also be involved in illegal activity. Black mothers are disproportionately represented in the criminal legal system, but existing research has inadequately examined how street-identified Black mothers “do” family in the confines of structural violence. Method: We addressed this gap by analyzing interview data with 39 street-identified Black American mothers ages 18 to 54. Data were collected using street participatory action research. Results: We identified a typology of three adaptive mothering strategies employed by street-identified Black women as they respond to and cope with violent structural conditions shaping their mothering: constrained mothering, racialized mothering, and aspirational mothering. Conclusions: Findings suggested that these strategies were developed in response to an overarching carceral apparatus, of which these mothers were tasked with avoiding when possible and confronting when necessary. Their mothering strategies were shaped by a collective, Black American cultural identity and worldview, and the mothers possessed a unique way of perceiving the world as criminalized subjects with disproportionate proximity to the punitive state.

description: En 2017, un second recrutement de la cohorte des patient·e·s diabétiques vaudois·es (CoDiab-VD) a permis d’obtenir une nouvelle image populationnelle du diabète et de sa prise en charge dans le canton de Vaud. Bien que cette dernière fût déjà relativement satisfaisante lors du premier recrutement de 2011-2012, la marge d’amélioration qui demeurait n’a pas été comblée. Ainsi, les indicateurs de qualité des soins satisfaisants lors du recrutement initial le sont restés lors du second, et ceux non-satisfaisants le sont restés également pour la plupart. Six ans après le développement des premiers projets mis sur pieds dans le cadre du PcD, l’amélioration de la prise en charge du diabète, qui aurait pu être espérée et telle que mesurée dans notre étude, n’est pas encore perceptible parmi les participant·e·s de la cohorte CoDiab-VD, que nous espérons être représentatif·ve·s de la population générale des personnes diabétiques du canton de Vaud. Ces résultats ne doivent en revanche pas laisser penser que les activités du PcD n’ont eu aucun effet sur les patient·e·s et leur prise en charge. Parmi les raisons envisageables, on peut citer : la difficulté à mesurer les changements, une durée d’enquête encore trop courte pour les mesurer ou une pénétration trop restreinte des actions sur la totalité du canton pour observer des changements au niveau populationnelle. Il est en outre important de rappeler que les résultats 2017 ne sont pas uniquement le fruit des mesures mises en place dans le but d’améliorer la prise en charge et l’état de santé des patient·e·s. Ils sont en effet déterminés par une multitude d’autres facteurs externes aux actions du PcD, et non-mesurés dans le cadre de cette étude, tels que des phénomènes plus globaux d’ordre social ou politique par exemple.
Calibrating convective-core overshooting with eclipsing binary systems. The case of low-mass main-sequence stars

description: In a robust statistical way, we quantify the uncertainty that affects the calibration of the overshooting efficiency parameter $β$ that is owing to the uncertainty on the observational data in double-lined eclipsing binary systems. We also quantify the bias that is caused by the lack of constraints on the initial helium content and on the efficiencies of the superadiabatic convection and microscopic diffusion. We adopted a modified grid-based SCEPtER pipeline using as observational constraints the effective temperatures, [Fe/H], masses, and radii of the two stars. In a reference scenario of mild overshooting $β= 0.2$ for the synthetic data, we found both large statistical uncertainties and biases on the estimated $β$. For the first 80% of the MS evolution, $β$ is biased and practically unconstrained in the whole explored range [0.0; 0.4]. In the last 5% of the MS the bias vanishes and the $1 σ$ error is about 0.05. For synthetic data computed with $β= 0.0$, the estimated $β$ is biased by about 0.12 in the first 80% of the MS evolution, and by 0.05 afterwards. Assuming an uncertainty of $\pm 1$ in the helium-to-metal enrichment ratio $ΔY/ΔZ$, we found that in the terminal part of the MS evolution the error on the estimated $β$ values ranges from -0.05 to +0.10, while $β$ is basically unconstrained throughout the explored range at earlier evolutionary stages. A uniform variation of $\pm 0.24$ in the mixing-length parameter around the solar-calibrated value causes in last 5% of the MS an uncertainty from -0.09 to +0.15. A complete neglect of diffusion in the stellar evolution computations produces a $1 σ$ uncertainty of $\pm 0.08$ in the last 5% of the MS, while $β$ is practically unconstrained in the first 80% of the MS. Overall, the calibration appears poorly reliable.

A sociology of the Covid-19 pandemic: A commentary and research agenda for sociologists
Creators: name: Ward, Paul
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Social determinants of health

description: During the early part of 2020, there has been an abundance of critically important research on Covid-19 from medical, epidemiological and virological disciplines. There is now an urgent need for sociologists to engage theoretically and empirically on the social impact of issues related to Covid-19. As we have moved further into 2020, governments around the world have imposed different types of restrictions on social life, in order to quell the spread of Covid-19 and ‘flatten the curve’. These have included imposing various degrees of social isolation and restrictions on things like social gatherings, travel, sport and leisure activities, and going to work/school/university. This commentary explores the ways in which different branches of social theory can shed light on the implications of Covid-19 restrictions for social life ‘as we know it’. The broad fields of social theory in the commentary cover concepts such as risk, trust, fear, uncertainty and happiness. The process of developing the social theory driven research agenda contained within this commentary took a rather unusual route – it started by re-reading Jean-Paul Sartre’s ideas on existentialism, which led to me painting a visual sociology of Covid-19 (an image of my painting is provided), and ultimately to this piece.
Turbulent Magnetohydrodynamic Reconnection Mediated by the Plasmoid Instability

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It has been established that the Sweet-Parker current layer in high Lundquist number reconnection is unstable to the super-Alfvénic plasmoid instability. Past two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations have demonstrated that the plasmoid instability leads to a new regime where the Sweet-Parker current layer changes into a chain of plasmoids connected by secondary current sheets, and the averaged reconnection rate becomes nearly independent of the Lundquist number. In this work, three-dimensional simulation with a guide field shows that the additional degree of freedom allows plasmoid instabilities to grow at oblique angles, which interact and lead to self-generated turbulent reconnection. The averaged reconnection rate in the self-generated turbulent state is of the order of a hundredth of the characteristic Alfvén speed, which is similar to the two-dimensional result but is an order of magnitude lower than the fastest reconnection rate reported in recent studies of externally driven three-dimensional turbulent reconnection. Kinematic and magnetic energy fluctuations both form elongated eddies along the direction of local magnetic field, which is a signature of anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. Both energy fluctuations satisfy power-law spectra in the inertial range, where the magnetic energy spectral index is in the range from $-2.3$ to $-2.1$, while the kinetic energy spectral index is slightly steeper, in the range from $-2.5$ to $-2.3$. The anisotropy of turbulence eddies is found to be nearly scale-independent, in contrast with the prediction of the Goldreich-Sridhar theory for anisotropic turbulence in a homogeneous plasma permeated by a uniform magnetic field.

description: Evidence derived with minimal assumptions from existing published observations is presented to show that an ion-proton plasma is the source of radio-frequency emission in millisecond and in normal isolated pulsars. There is no primary involvement of electron-positron pairs. This conclusion has also been reached by studies of the plasma composition based on well-established particle-physics processes in neutron stars with positive polar-cap corotational charge density. This work has been published in a series of papers which are also summarized here. It is now confirmed by simple analyses of the observed radio-frequency characteristics, and its implications for the further study of neutron stars are outlined.

description: Blood and lymphatic vessels are regulators of physiological processes, including oxygenation and fluid transport. Both vessels are ubiquitous throughout the body and are critical for sustaining tissue homeostasis. The complexity of each vessel’s processes has limited the understanding of exactly how the vessels maintain their functions. Both vessels have been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cancer metastasis, and it is crucial to probe further specific mechanisms involved. In vitro models are developed to better understand blood and lymphatic physiological functions and their mechanisms. In this review, blood and lymphatic in vitro model systems, including 2D and 3D designs made using Transwells, microfluidic devices, organoid cultures, and various other methods, are described. Models studying endothelial cell-extracellular matrix interactions, endothelial barrier properties, transendothelial transport and cell migration, lymph/angiogenesis, vascular inflammation, and endothelial-cancer cell interactions are particularly focused. While the field has made significant progress in modeling and understanding lymphatic and blood vasculature, more models that include coculture of multiple cell types, complex extracellular matrix, and 3D morphologies, particularly for models mimicking disease states, will help further the understanding of the role of blood and lymphatic vasculature in health and disease.

A Layered Caching Architecture for the Interference Channel

description: Recent work has studied the benefits of caching in the interference channel, particularly by placing caches at the transmitters. In this paper, we study the two-user Gaussian interference channel in which caches are placed at both the transmitters and the receivers. We propose a separation strategy that divides the physical and network layers. While a natural separation approach might be to abstract the physical layer into several independent bit pipes at the network layer, we argue that this is inefficient. Instead, the separation approach we propose exposes interacting bit pipes at the network layer, so that the receivers observe related (yet not identical) quantities. We find the optimal strategy within this layered architecture, and we compute the degrees-of-freedom it achieves. Finally, we show that separation is optimal in regimes where the receiver caches are large.

description: A novel hadron calorimeter is being developed for future lepton colliding beam detectors. The calorimeter is optimized for the application of Particle Flow Algorithms (PFAs) to the measurement of hadronic jets and features a very finely segmented readout with 1 x 1 cm2 cells. The active media of the calorimeter are Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) with a digital, i.e. one-bit, readout. To first order the energy of incident particles in this calorimeter is reconstructed as being proportional to the number of pads with a signal over a given threshold. A large-scale prototype calorimeter with approximately 500,000 readout channels has been built and underwent extensive testing in the Fermilab and CERN test beams. This paper reports on the design, construction, and commissioning of this prototype calorimeter.
Mulattoes in colonial Maryland: The effects of colonial law on patterns of freedom and enslavement
Creators: name: Hunt, Larry
Publisher: name: Wiley
Year: 2022

description: Objective This study analyzes Maryland colonial law and empirically examines two sets of historical data to explore how legal codes affected the assignment of mulattoes (mixed-descent persons) to the legal categories of freedom or enslavement. Maryland law was concerned with regulating the sexual relationships between people of European descent and people of African descent, especially when the relationship was between an enslaved African man and a free European woman who might produce a mulatto child having free legal standing. Methods Analysis of colonial census data and Prerogative Court Records are used to estimate both the size and the composition (enslaved vs. free) of the mulatto (mixed-descent) population in the colony of Maryland in the 17th and 18th centuries. Results The results of the analysis of historical data show that colonial law and its sanctions limited the size of the mulatto population; it was small as expected. However, there were no dramatic differences in the proportions of enslaved and free mulattoes, a pattern that ran contrary to the logic of colonial law. The lack of any dramatic difference between the two status groups may be explained by demographic patterns specific to the early stages of colonization. Conclusions The attempt of colonial lawmakers to limit the proportion of free mulattoes was not effective, at least in the initial periods of building a slave society. Some suggestions for future research combining the efforts of historians and geneticists should examine how the relationships between the European and African descent populations likely had distinctive patterns in the early formation of enslavement as an institution compared to a later period where enslavement became the fate of most persons of African descent.

description: Objective To investigate the differential associations of homelessness with emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations by race, ethnicity, and gender. Data Sources California Medicaid enrollment and claims. Study Design We identified beneficiaries experiencing homelessness (BEH) and those who did not (NBEH) using diagnosis and place of service codes and residential addresses. Outcomes include four ED visit measures and four hospitalization measures. We compared the use of these services by BEH to NBEH overall and by race, ethnicity, and gender groups in regression models controlling for covariates. Data Collection We used a sample of Medicaid beneficiaries who met eligibility criteria for a California Medicaid demonstration program in 2017 and 2018 but were not enrolled in the program. We identified 473,069 BEH, and the rest (1,948,422) were considered NBEH. We used the 2018 data for utilization analyses and most covariates. We constructed lagged measures of health conditions using 2017 data. Principal Findings We found that homelessness was significantly associated with 0.34 more ED visits (p < 0.01) and a higher likelihood of frequent ED visits (2.77 percentage points [pp], p < 0.01), any ED visits due to mental health conditions (0.79 pp, p < 0.01), and any ED visits due to substance use disorders (1.47 pp, p < 0.01). Experiencing homelessness was also significantly associated with 0.03 more hospitalizations (p < 0.01), a higher likelihood of frequent hospitalizations (0.68 pp, p < 0.01) and high frequent hospitalizations (0.28 pp, p < 0.01), and a longer length of stay (0.53 days, p < 0.01). We found a larger association for American Indian and Alaska Native, Black, Native Hawaii or Pacific Islander, and White populations than that for Asian and Hispanic populations. The associations are larger for males than females. Conclusions Our findings identified distinct utilization patterns by race, ethnicity, and gender. They indicated the need for developing race, ethnicity, and gender-specific strategies to reduce ED visits and hospitalizations of BEH.

description: We present the fundamental ideas underlying statistical hypothesis testing using the frequentist framework. We begin with a simple example that builds up the one-sample t-test from the beginning, explaining important concepts such as the sampling distribution of the sample mean, and the iid assumption. Then we examine the p-value in detail, and discuss several important misconceptions about what a p-value does and does not tell us. This leads to a discussion of Type I, II error and power, and Type S and M error. An important conclusion from this discussion is that one should aim to carry out appropriately powered studies. Next, we discuss two common issues we have encountered in psycholinguistics and linguistics: running experiments until significance is reached, and the "garden-of-forking-paths" problem discussed by Gelman and others, whereby the researcher attempts to find statistical significance by analyzing the data in different ways. The best way to use frequentist methods is to run appropriately powered studies, check model assumptions, clearly separate exploratory data analysis from confirmatory hypothesis testing, and always attempt to replicate results.

description: Lava tubes are a commonplace feature on the terrestrial planets, and knowledge of tube size and location informs lava flow processes. Future exploration of lava tubes on the Moon can provide access to geologic environments that likely remain unaltered from their emplacement billions of years ago. Lunar lava tubes may also provide astronauts protection from thermal extremes, meteoroid impacts, and radiation. High-resolution magnetic identification and characterization of lava tubes can be used to help inform future scientific investigations of lava tubes for human exploration and utilization. We demonstrate how magnetometry is useful for determining the geometry and extent of lava tubes on the Earth and, by proxy, the Moon, by relating the magnetic anomalies produced by lava tubes to their location and geomorphology. Using a proton-precession total field magnetometer, we surveyed an area of more than 100,000 m2, with cross-tube linear traverses spaced at 3–5 m, perpendicular to an approximately 1,000 m length of the Modoc Crater lava tube complex, within the Lava Beds National Monument (California, USA). The observed magnetic anomalies of the sections known as Incline, Skull, and Ship Caves are compared against synthetic predictions, and the sensitivity of the magnetic anomalies to the tube geometry used to derive a basic relationship between the two. We use our model of terrestrial lava tube magnetic anomalies and adjust for the lunar magnetic environment to predict the signature of anomalies resulting from tubes on the Moon.

description: Top-down effects of predators and bottom-up effects of resources are important drivers of community structure and function in a wide array of ecosystems. Fertilization experiments impose variation in resource availability that can mediate the strength of predator impacts, but the prevalence of such interactions across natural productivity gradients is less clear. We studied the joint impacts of top-down and bottom-up factors in a tropical mangrove forest system, leveraging fine-grained patchiness in resource availability and primary productivity on coastal cays of Belize. We excluded birds from canopies of red mangrove (Rhizophoraceae: Rhizophora mangle) for 13 months in zones of phosphorus-limited, stunted dwarf mangroves, and in adjacent zones of vigorous mangroves that receive detrital subsidies. Birds decreased total arthropod densities by 62%, herbivore densities more than fivefold, and reduced rates of leaf and bud herbivory by 45% and 52%, respectively. Despite similar arthropod densities across both zones of productivity, leaf and bud damage were 2.0 and 4.3 times greater in productive stands. Detrital subsidies strongly impacted a suite of plant traits in productive stands, potentially making leaves more nutritious and vulnerable to damage. Despite consistently strong impacts on herbivory, we did not detect top-down forcing that impacted mangrove growth, which was similar with and without birds. Our results indicated that both top-down and bottom-up forces drive arthropod community dynamics, but attenuation at the plant-herbivore interface weakens top-down control by avian insectivores.

We find that for progenitors of $\sim 11$--$15\,{\rm M}_\odot$, the neutrons released by $^4{\rm He}(\barν_e,e^+n)^3{\rm H}$ in He shells can be captured to produce nuclei with mass numbers up to $A \sim 200$. This mechanism is sensitive to neutrino emission spectra and flavor oscillations. In addition, we find two new primary mechanisms for neutrino-induced production of $^{9}$Be in He shells. The first mechanism produces $^9$Be via $^7{\rm Li}(n,γ)^8{\rm Li}(n,γ)^9{\rm Li}(e^-\barν_e)^9{\rm Be}$ and relies on a low explosion energy for its survival. The second mechanism operates in progenitors of $\sim 8\,{\rm M}_\odot$, where $^9$Be can be produced directly via $^7{\rm Li}(^3{\rm H},n_0)^9{\rm Be}$ during the rapid expansion of the shocked He-shell material. The light nuclei $^7$Li and $^3$H involved in these mechanisms are produced by neutrino interactions with $^4$He. We discuss the implications of neutrino-induced nucleosynthesis in He shells for interpreting the elemental abundances in metal-poor stars.

description: Iterative ensemble filters and smoothers are now commonly used for geophysical models. Some of these methods rely on a factorization of the observation likelihood function to sample from a posterior density through a set of “tempered” transitions to ensemble members. For Gaussian-based data assimilation methods, tangent linear versions of nonlinear operators can be relinearized between iterations, thus leading to a solution that is less biased than a single-step approach. This study adopts similar iterative strategies for a localized particle filter (PF) that relies on the estimation of moments to adjust unobserved variables based on importance weights. This approach builds off a “regularization” of the local PF, which forces weights to be more uniform through heuristic means. The regularization then leads to an adaptive tempering, which can also be combined with filter updates from parametric methods, such as ensemble Kalman filters. The role of iterations is analyzed by deriving the localized posterior probability density assumed by current local PF formulations and then examining how single-step and tempered PFs sample from this density. From experiments performed with a low-dimensional nonlinear system, the iterative and hybrid strategies show the largest benefits in observation-sparse regimes, where only a few particles contain high likelihoods and prior errors are non-Gaussian. This regime mimics specific applications in numerical weather prediction, where small ensemble sizes, unresolved model error, and highly nonlinear dynamics lead to prior uncertainty that is larger than measurement uncertainty.

Social change

description: This thesis examines how injustice towards the intellectually disabled can be challenged and argues that the current literature on social change cannot be straightforwardly applied. I discuss how the barriers intellectual disability presents can be overcome and argue that a focus on intellectual disability reveals the crucial role virtue plays within social movements.

description: The exhalation of aerosols during musical performances or rehearsals posed a risk of airborne virus transmission in the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous research studied aerosol plumes by only focusing on one risk factor, either the source strength or convective transport capability. Furthermore, the source strength was characterized by the aerosol concentration and ignored the airflow rate needed for risk analysis in actual musical performances. This study characterizes aerosol plumes that account for both the source strength and convective transport capability by conducting experiments with 18 human subjects. The source strength was characterized by the source aerosol emission rate, defined as the source aerosol concentration multiplied by the source airflow rate (brass 383 particle/s, singing 408 particle/s, and woodwind 480 particle/s). The convective transport capability was characterized by the plume influence distance, defined as the sum of the horizontal jet length and horizontal instrument length (brass 0.6 m, singing 0.6 m and woodwind 0.8 m). Results indicate that woodwind instruments produced the highest risk with approximately 20% higher source aerosol emission rates and 30% higher plume influence distances compared with the average of the same risk indicators for singing and brass instruments. Interestingly, the clarinet performance produced moderate source aerosol concentrations at the instrument’s bell, but had the highest source aerosol emission rates due to high source airflow rates. Flute performance generated plumes with the lowest source aerosol emission rates but the highest plume influence distances due to the highest source airflow rate. Notably, these comprehensive results show that the source airflow is a critical component of the risk of airborne disease transmission. The effectiveness of masking and bell covering in reducing aerosol transmission is due to the mitigation of both source aerosol concentrations and plume influence distances. This study also found a musician who generated approximately five times more source aerosol concentrations than those of the other musicians who played the same instrument. Despite voice and brass instruments producing measurably lower average risk, it is possible to have an individual musician produce aerosol plumes with high source strength, resulting in enhanced transmission risk; however, our sample size was too small to make generalizable conclusions regarding the broad musician population.
Global continua of periodic solutions of singular first-order Hamiltonian systems of N-vortex type

description: The paper deals with singular first order Hamiltonian systems of the form \[ Γ_k\dot{z}_k(t)=J\nabla_{z_k} H\big(z(t)\big),\quad z_k(t) \in Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^2,\ k=1,\dots,N, \] where $J\in\mathbb{R}^{2\times2}$ defines the standard symplectic structure in $\mathbb{R}^2$, and the Hamiltonian $H$ is of $N$-vortex type: \[ H(z_1,\dots,z_N) = -\frac1{2π} \sum_{j\neq k=1}^N Γ_j Γ_k \log|z_j-z_k| - F(z). \] This is defined on the configuration space $\{(z_1,\ldots,z_N)\in Ω^{2N}:z_j\neq z_k\text{ for }j\neq k\}$ of $N$ different points in the domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^2$. The function $F:Ω^N\to\mathbb{R}$ may have additional singularities near the boundary of $Ω^N$. We prove the existence of a global continuum of periodic solutions $z(t)=(z_1(t),\dots,z_N(t))\inΩ^N$ that emanates, after introducing a suitable singular limit scaling, from a relative equilibrium $Z(t)\in\mathbb{R}^{2N}$ of the $N$-vortex problem in the whole plane (where $F=0$). Examples for $Z$ include Thomson's vortex configurations, or equilateral triangle solutions. The domain $Ω$ need not be simply connected. A special feature is that the associated action integral is not defined on an open subset of the space of $2π$-periodic $H^{1/2}$ functions, the natural form domain for first order Hamiltonian systems. This is a consequence of the singular character of the Hamiltonian. Our main tool in the proof is a degree for $S^1$-equivariant gradient maps that we adapt to this class of potential operators.

description: Im Laufe des letzten Jahrzehnts haben sich die transatlantisch orientierten Strömungen innerhalb der Literaturwissenschaft immer mehr mit Archiven und literaturhistorisch bedeutsamen Sammlungen beschäftigt. Dieser Blogeintrag erörtert, wie sich methodologische Ansätze verändern müssen, um dieser Neuausrichtung Rechenschaft zu tragen. Er befasst sich außerdem mit der Frage, was es bedeutet, sich literarischen Archiven aus transatlantischer Perspektive zu nähern. Archive, so meine These, sind eine Form raum-zeitlicher Kartographierung und somit eine Subspezies dessen, was Michail Bachtin als "Chronotopos" bezeichnet hat. Ich diskutiere diese These an Hand einiger ausgewählter Sammlungen, die für die transatlantische Germantik von besonderer Bedeutung sind, und befasse mich dann mit einer Frage, die ich für besonders zukunftswichtig halte, nämlich mit den ökologischen Kosten transatlantischer Archivstudien.
description: Over the course of the last decade, transatlantic literary studies have taken an archival turn. This blog entry examines how existing research paradigms change when they are grounded in archival collections, and it also asks what it might mean to take a transatlantic view of literary archives. Archives, so I argue, are a form of spatio-temporal mapping, a way of organizing the world to which Mikhail Bakhtin gave the name "chronotope." I illustrate this thesis using exemplary collections from transatlantic German Studies and then turn to a question that I consider to be of particular concern for the future, namely the ecological cost of archival labor.
