description: Diadasia (Coquillettapis) laticauda Cockerell, 1905
[Holotype: CASC; ♂ Los Angeles, California, USA]
This species is primarily distributed in the CFP and SD provinces and specializes on pollen from plants in family Malvaceae (Sipes & Tepedino 2005). Prior to this study, it had only been recorded once in Arroyo Rosarito, BC by the INHS in 1988. In the course of this project, the BBPT collected 22 females and 13 males from the Coastal Sage Matorral and the Chaparral in May, and June 2020, April and May 2021, and May 2022. Voucher specimens are in MABC, and ECOAB. See fig. 94.

Very compact radio emission from high-mass protostars. I. CRL 2136: Continuum and water maser observations

description: We report 5-43 GHz radio observations of the CRL 2136 region at 0.6-6 arcsec resolution. We detect weak (mJy intensity) radio emission from the deeply embedded high-mass protostar IRS 1, which has an optically thick spectrum up to frequencies of 22 GHz, flattening at higher frequencies, which might be explained by emission from a jet. Water maser mapping shows that the strong emission observed redshifted relative to the systemic velocity is spatially coincident with the optically thick continuum emission. The H2O maser emission from this object (and others we know of) seems to have a different origin than most of these masers, which are frequently tracing bipolar high-velocity outflows. Instead, the CRL 2136 H2O emission arises in the close circumstellar environment of the protostar (within 1000 AU). We speculate that most of it is excited in the hot, dense infalling gas after the accretion shock, although this cannot explain all the H2O emission. An accretion shock nature for the continuum emission seems unlikely.

description: We present a study of a two-point spectral turbulence model (Local Wave-Number model or LWN model) for the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability. The model outcomes are compared with statistical quantities extracted from three-dimensional simulation of the RT problem. These simulations are initialized with high wavenumber perturbations at the interface of a heavy fluid placed on top of a light fluid so that the density gradient is in the direction opposite to acceleration due to gravity. We consider flows of low to medium density contrast and compare the LWN model against simulation data using the mix-width evolution as the primary metric. The original model specified physically reasonable but largely \emph{ad hoc} terms to account for the inhomogeneous mechanisms involved in growing the mixing layer. We systematically assess the role of each of the terms in the LWN model equations by comparison with simulation. Two of these, the kinematic source term, introduced to maintain a finite covariance between density and specific volume, and a spectral distortion term, introduced as spectral modifications of the density-specific-volume covariance, both result in severely over-predicting the mix layer growth. A simplified model eliminating those two terms is shown to improve the capture of both mix-width evolution as well as the turbulent mass flux velocity profiles across the mix layer at different times. However, this simplification reveals that fidelity to other metrics such as the density-specific-volume covariance, and the turbulent kinetic energy are somewhat compromised. The implications of this outcome are discussed with respect to the physics of the RT problem, and we provide this study as a guide for the practical use of such a model.
Displaced humanity: Power politics and international refugee regime
Creators: name: Johnson, Sarah Nicole
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation explores variance in state responses to refugee crises. It argues that contrary to public perception, assistance to refugees is more of a realist than humanitarian endeavor. In other words, states provide assistance based upon their perceived national interests and not necessarily upon the interests of refugees. Consequently, the mechanism designed to assist refugees, the international refugee regime (IRR), is often stretched to accommodate state goals and assist states contain and mitigate the potentially disruptive impact of refugee crises. This argument is developed by utilizing International Relations theories to explain state responses to refugee crises and by applying those theories to four in-depth case studies: Hungary 1956, Iraq 1991, Bosnia 1993--1995 and Rwanda 1994--1997. Refugee crises involving populations that are of interest to potential intervening states receive assistance; IRR principles and procedures can even be changed to accommodate them. Refugees of "less value," those for whom the cost/benefit ratio for assistance is deemed to be too high, receive less assistance. The Hungarian crisis represents the former and the Rwandan crises the latter. In between these extremes are crises in which state interests exist and are mediated through the refugee regime. In other words, refugee or would be refugee populations are assisted but in ways that meet the needs of the intervening states more than the populations being assisted. The creation of the Iraqi and Bosniac safe areas, which created millions of internally displaced persons, is an example of this approach. The dissertation concludes that a more realist/security-focused approach to refugee crises is needed to effectively assist future refugee populations.

description: The research aim was to analyse changes in the volume of greenhouse gases and ammonia produced by agriculture in Poland, against the background of the European Union, using sustainable development indicators.. The study relied mainly on statistical data from the Polish Central Statistical Office and Eurostat. Agriculture was found to be the major source of ammonia emissions in the EU and Poland. Also, the role of agriculture in emission of greenhouse gases is significant. Fluctuations in the dynamics of GHG emissions were noted in the EU and in Poland. Over the analysed time, a small increase in the share of the emission of GHG, especially methane, from farming was observed. / Synopsis.

Standing on isthmus: Islamic narratives on peace and war in Palestine
Creators: name: Kadayifci, Seniha Ayse
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This work is an attempt to explore the role of religion, particularly Islam, in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a factor both motivating the conflict and as a potential resource for its resolution. It examines whether religious beliefs, commitments, traditions shape or influence concrete social action such as motivating conflictual or peaceful behavior, and if so, to what extent, and aims to understand the dynamics of conflict and cooperation. Additionally, it examines the internal dialog that is going on vehemently among the Islamic scholars for the "correct" interpretations of Islam. The thesis also calls into question the understanding of peace simply as the "absence of war", and seeks to understand what peace means for those who are involved in this particular conflict. It suggests addressing a new series of topics, including religious and pragmatic motivations of behavior, struggle between intercommunal moral values, multifaith dialog, and pluralism as conflict resolution strategies; socio-political impact of leadership, legitimation and the role of interpretation of sacred texts during conflict, among others.
Map for the determining the status of evidence-based practice and developing a EbP-strategy for clinical practice

description: Evidence-based practice (EbP) is a key component of modern healthcare and is considered essential for ensuring high-quality care in the future (Danilina, 2024). However, implementing EBP, particularly integrating research findings into practice, poses significant challenges. Only about 50% of clinical research results are translated into practical applications, and this process typically takes an average of 15 to 17 years (Khan et al., 2021; Morris et al., 2011).

To address these challenges, Prof. Dr. Elke Kraus and Prof. Dr. Barbara Vogel have developed an EbP-Map tool that systematically analyses the prerequisites and conditions for evidence-based practice. This tool helps therapists, teams, and organizations evaluate relevant factors at different levels, identify barriers (Freitag et al, 2022), and develop solutions collaboratively. It can also be used in case-based discourses.

description: The arm length and the isolation in space enable LISA to probe for signals unattainable on ground, opening a window to the sub-Hz gravitational-wave universe. The coupling of unavoidable angular spacecraft jitter into the longitudinal displacement measurement, an effect known as tilt-to-length (TTL) coupling, is critical for realizing the required sensitivity of picometer$/\sqrt{\rm{Hz}}$. An ultra-stable interferometer testbed has been developed in order to investigate this issue and validate mitigation strategies in a setup representative of LISA, and in this paper it is operated in the long-arm interferometer configuration. The testbed is fitted with a flat-top beam generator to simulate the beam received by a LISA spacecraft. We demonstrate a reduction of TTL coupling between this flat-top beam and a Gaussian reference beam via introducing two- and four-lens imaging systems. TTL coupling factors below $\pm 25\,μ$m/rad for beam tilts within $\pm 300\,μ$rad are obtained by careful optimization of the system. Moreover we show that the additional TTL coupling due to lateral alignment errors of elements of the imaging system can be compensated by introducing lateral shifts of the detector, and vice versa. These findings help validate the suitability of this noise-reduction technique for the LISA long-arm interferometer.

These problems are addressed here for the HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW experiment, which collected data in the period August 1990 - May 2003. The measurement and the analysis of the data is presented. The duty cycle of the experiment was ~80%, the collected statistics is 71.7 kgy. The background achieved in the energy region of the Q value for double beta decay is 0.11 events/kg y keV. The two-neutrino accompanied half-life is determined on the basis of more than 100 000 events. The confidence level for the neutrinoless signal has been improved to a 4 sigma level.

Fast Frequency-Domain Effective Fly-By Waveforms

description: Recently, we developed effective fly-by (EFB) waveforms designed to model the burst of gravitational radiation from highly eccentric binaries. We here present a faster to evaluate frequency domain EFB waveform. The waveform is constructed through the use of asymptotic expansions of hypergeometric functions. Since the waveform is fully analytic, we study the accuracy to which the binary's parameters can be measured using a Fisher analysis. We find that degeneracies exist among the parameters, such that the waveform is parameterized in terms of the chirp mass ${\cal{M}}$ and orbital radius of curvature ${\cal{P}}$, instead of the total mass, symmetric mass ratio, and semi-latus rectum of the binary. By computing the Fisher matrix for single bursts from two thousand binary systems, we find that most of the systems will have greater than one hundred percent uncertainty in the chirp mass, luminosity distance, and inclination angle, while roughly half will have less than one hundred percent uncertainty in the orbital radius of curvature, orbital eccentricity, and polarization angle. Further, we repeat this analysis after including additional bursts within the inspiral sequence and find that the uncertainties in the waveform's parameters can improve by orders of magnitude with a sufficient timing model for the bursts.

description: We study the evolution of quantum fluctuations of gravity around an inflationary solution in renormalizable quantum gravity, in which the initial scalar-fluctuation dominance is shown by the background-free nature expressed by a special conformal invariance. Inflation ignites at the Planck scale and continues until spacetime phase transition occurs at a dynamical scale about $10^{17}$GeV. We can show that during inflation, the initially large scale-invariant fluctuations reduce in amplitude to the appropriate magnitude suggested by tiny CMB anisotropies. The goal of this research is to derive the spectra of scalar fluctuations at the phase transition point, that is, the primordial spectra. A system of nonlinear evolution equations for the fluctuations is derived from the quantum gravity effective action. The running coupling constant is then expressed by a time-dependent average following the spirit of the mean field approximation. In this paper, we determine and examine various nonlinear terms, not treated in previous studies such as the exponential factor of the conformal mode. These contributions occur during the early stage of inflation when the amplitude is still large. Moreover, in order to verify their effects concretely, we numerically solve the evolution equation by making a simplification to extract the most contributing parts of the terms in comoving momentum space. The result indicates that they serve to maintain the initial scale invariance over a wide range beyond the comoving Planck scale. This is a challenge toward the derivation of the precise primordial spectra, and we expect in the future that it will lead to the resolution of the tensions that have arisen in cosmology.

description: We show the analogy between a generalization of the Rayleigh-Plesset equation of bubble dynamics including surface tension, elasticity and viscosity effects with a reformulation of the Friedmann-Lemaître set of equations describing the expansion of space in cosmology assuming a homogeneous and isotropic universe. By comparing both fluid and cosmic equations, we propose a bold generalization of the newly-derived cosmic equation mapping three continuum mechanics contributions. Conversely, the addition of a cosmological constant-like term in the fluid equation would lead also to a new phenomenology.

The article presents the occurrence and the size of seasonal fluctuations in plant protection product prices in selected EU countries. Due to the availability of data, the prices of plant protection products in Poland, France, Ireland and Greece were analyzed. Seasonal variation analysis was performed using the seasonal decomposition method. The study does not point to a clear seasonality in the prices of plant protection products on the markets analyzed. The seasonality of plant protection products prices was observed only on the Polish and French markets, while the variations in seasonal fluctuations were small. Seasonal price increases were observed for the Polish market from March to June, during the period of increased demand for plant protection products. In the second half of the year, prices generally declined. Seasonal price changes on the French market were similar. / Synopsis.

description: We use the eROSITA Final Equatorial-Depth Survey (eFEDS) to measure the rest-frame 0.1-2.4 keV band X-ray luminosities of $\sim$ 600,000 DESI groups using two different algorithms in the overlap region of the two observations. These groups span a large redshift range of $0.0 \le z_g \le 1.0$ and group mass range of $10^{10.76}h^{-1}M_{\odot} \le M_h \le 10^{15.0}h^{-1}M_{\odot}$. (1) Using the blind detection pipeline of eFEDS, we find that 10932 X-ray emission peaks can be cross matched with our groups, $\sim 38 \%$ of which have signal-to-noise ratio $\rm{S}/\rm{N} \geq 3$ in X-ray detection. Comparing to the numbers reported in previous studies, this matched sample size is a factor of $\sim 6$ larger. (2) By stacking X-ray maps around groups with similar masses and redshifts, we measure the average X-ray luminosity of groups as a function of halo mass in five redshift bins. We find, in a wide halo mass range, the X-ray luminosity, $L_{\rm X}$, is roughly linearly proportional to $M_{h}$, and is quite independent to the redshift of the groups. (3) We use a Poisson distribution to model the X-ray luminosities obtained using two different algorithms and obtain best-fit $L_{\rm X}=10^{28.46\pm0.03}M_{h}^{1.024\pm0.002}$ and $L_{\rm X}=10^{26.73 \pm 0.04}M_{h}^{1.140 \pm 0.003}$ scaling relations, respectively. The best-fit slopes are flatter than the results previously obtained, but closer to a self-similar prediction.

description: We determine the Hubble constant $H_0$ precisely ($2.3\%$ uncertainty) in a manner independent of cosmological model through Gaussian process regression, using strong lensing and supernova data. Strong gravitational lensing of a variable source can provide a time-delay distance $D_{Δt}$ and angular diameter distance to the lens $D_{\rm{d}}$. These absolute distances can anchor Type Ia supernovae, which give an excellent constraint on the shape of the distance-redshift relation. Updating our previous results to use the H0LiCOW program's milestone dataset consisting of six lenses, four of which have both $D_{Δt}$ and $D_{\rm{d}}$ measurements, we obtain $H_0=72.8_{-1.7}^{+1.6}\rm{\ km/s/Mpc}$ for a flat universe and $H_0=77.3_{-3.0}^{+2.2}\rm{\ km/s/Mpc}$ for a non-flat universe. We carry out several consistency checks on the data and find no statistically significant tensions, though a noticeable redshift dependence persists in a particular systematic manner that we investigate. Speculating on the possibility that this trend of derived Hubble constant with lens distance is physical, we show how this can arise through modified gravity light propagation, which would also impact the weak lensing $σ_8$ tension.

Signatures of Pulsar Polar-Cap Emission at the High-Energy Spectral Cut-off
Creators: name: Dyks, J.

description: We address four unique signatures in pulsar gamma-ray radiation as predicted by polar-cap models. These signatures are expected to be present nearby the spectral high-energy cutoff at around several GeV. Their magnitude and, therefore, their observability depends strongly on the orientational factors, the rotation, as well as on the details of the polar cap structure. These strong predictions are likely to be verified by the NASA's future gamma-ray mission GLAST.

description: The aim of the analysis is to identify the key changes that occurred on the Russian pork market from 1990-2017. The research covered all elements of the market, at the same time attempting to answer two questions: Will the growing production of pork allow Russia to achieve self-sufficiency in this area in the coming years? Does Russia have a chance to transform from a net importer into a net exporter of pork? The basis for the assessment data were taken from the Russian Statistical Yearbooks and from the US Foreign Agricultural Service USDA. Dynamics were indexed on fixed and variable bases. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the greatest impact on the Russian pork market would be the result of subsidies leading to the growth in the number of pigs and in pork production. This would allow Russia to achieve self-sufficiency in the coming years, with the position of net exporter as an achievable target in the future. / Synopsis. Celem analizy jest zidentyfikowanie kluczowych zmian, jakie nastąpiły na rosyjskim rynku wieprzowiny w latach 1990-2017. Badaniem objęto wszystkie elementy rynku, podejmując jednocześnie próbę odpowiedzi na dwa pytania: Czy rosnąca produkcja mięsa wieprzowego pozwoli na uzyskanie przez Rosję samowystarczalności w najbliższych latach? oraz czy Rosja ma szansę na przekształcenie się z importera netto w eksportera netto wieprzowiny? Podstawę oceny stanowiły dane pochodzące z rosyjskich Roczników Statystycznych oraz z publikacji amerykańskich Foreign Agricultural Service USDA. Do pomiaru dynamiki wykorzystano indeksy o stałej i zmiennej podstawie. Analiza pozwoliła na stwierdzenie, że największy wpływ na rosyjski rynek wieprzowiny wywarły subsydia prowadzące do wzrostu pogłowia i produkcji wieprzowiny w ostatnich dziesięciu latach. Pozwoli to na osiągnięcie samowystarczalności w najbliższych latach, ale pozycja eksportera netto może być osiągnięta w dalszej przyszłości.

description: This work is an attempt to explore the role of religion, particularly Islam, in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a factor both motivating the conflict and as a potential resource for its resolution. It examines whether religious beliefs, commitments, traditions shape or influence concrete social action such as motivating conflictual or peaceful behavior, and if so, to what extent, and aims to understand the dynamics of conflict and cooperation. Additionally, it examines the internal dialog that is going on vehemently among the Islamic scholars for the "correct" interpretations of Islam. The thesis also calls into question the understanding of peace simply as the "absence of war", and seeks to understand what peace means for those who are involved in this particular conflict. It suggests addressing a new series of topics, including religious and pragmatic motivations of behavior, struggle between intercommunal moral values, multifaith dialog, and pluralism as conflict resolution strategies; socio-political impact of leadership, legitimation and the role of interpretation of sacred texts during conflict, among others.
Enhanced lepton flavour violation in the supersymmetric inverse seesaw model

description: We discuss a supersymmetric inverse seesaw model in which lepton flavour violating decays can be enhanced either by flavour violating slepton contributions or by the non-unitarity of the charged current mixing matrix. As an example we calculate Br(mu -> e gamma) taking into account both heavy lepton exchange as well as supersymmetric diagrams in a minimal supergravity framework. We find that the for the same parameters the rate can be enhanced with respect to seesaw model expectations, with or without supersymmetry.

Labor productivity and transportation costs in Africa and the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade: An empirical verification of Stefano Fenoaltea's model

description: This dissertation examines three economic models for the cause of the transatlantic slave trade: a differential in labor productivity between Africa and the Americas, market failure in Africa, or high transportation costs within and from Africa. First considering the labor productivity model: if labor productivity in Africa was low, then a positive labor productivity differential between Africa and the Americas could have driven the forced migration of Africans to the Americas, but when data on the intercontinental labor productivity differential is compared to the high transportation and mortality costs of the slave trade, it is clear that the labor productivity differential between Africa and the Americas was inadequate to cover the costs of the trade---these were far greater than the increase in world output which the trade engendered. The second model blames market failure for low slave prices and high food prices on the African coast. Because captives were acquired at costs far lower than the costs of raising a newborn to a productive age, the market failure model argues that market prices failed to equate the private and social costs of slave exports, but this approach misinterprets the reason for relatively high food prices in Africa. Because the available African food price data comes exclusively from European records of coastal food purchases that were used to provision ocean-going slavers, the food prices include very high loading costs and are hence biased upward relative to the price of slaves for whom loading costs were relatively low. The market failure model is further discredited when a counterfactual trade in African commodities is analyzed. African surplus output, net of transportation costs, would have been far lower if commodities such as millet were exported instead of the actual trade in slaves. The transportation cost model successfully explains why slave prices in Africa were low in nominal terms and explains why slaves were exported---as a means of paying for costly imports when the transport of alternative African exports was prohibitively expensive.

description: In this article we present and discuss a didactic activity that combines epistemic aspects of the nature of science (NOS) and a simple, relatively low-cost experiment on electromagnetic induction. The aim of the activity is for students to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between theory and experiment. The results of the application showed that the students not only improved their communication skills within the groups, but also exercised creativity when facing a real and unknown problem. In addition, interactions with the students revealed that they assimilated some of the consensual aspects of the nature of science, namely: there is no universal scientific method, scientists use imagination and belief in scientific practice, and theory is not a consequence of experimental observation and vice versa. In relation to pedagogical aspects, students have improved their communicative abilities within groups, exercised creativity in problem-solving, and assumed responsibility in the development of the activity. Although the activity was carried out with high school students, it also has potential to be applied in higher education. Finally, various possibilities for expansion and modifications to the activity are discussed, aiming to further enrich the learning experience.

Abstract

Electromagnetism has long been considered one of the four fundamental forces of nature, described classically by Maxwell’s equations and, at the quantum scale, by quantum electrodynamics (QED). This paper reinterprets electromagnetism through the CODES (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems) framework, proposing that it emerges from structured resonance within the energy-matter duality (M/E ↔ E/M). By viewing electric and magnetic fields as manifestations of underlying dynamic chiral symmetry in spacetime, this theory bridges the classical and quantum descriptions of electromagnetic phenomena. This new approach provides insights into the interconnected behavior of particles, fields, and spacetime, with implications for quantum coherence, vacuum polarization, and cosmic-scale magnetic fields.
Domination, regulation, and resistance: The impact of Aid to Dependent Children and tribal law on White Mountain Apache women, 1934--1960

Publisher: name: American University

description: This research analyzes the triple layer of state systems (namely, tribal, state, and federal governments) that culturally and morally dominated and regulated women of the White Mountain Apache Tribe in Arizona between 1934 and 1960. Laws, such as the Aid to Dependent Children program, are cultural expressions of the social group in power. Consequently, dominant white perspectives shape the underlying values and beliefs that guide the tenor and content of legislation. Similarly, the legal codes and constitutions of American Indian nations also define cultural relationships and have been impacted by white conceptions of law. As a historical case study of White Mountain Apache women, the data are based on archival research, which is supplemented by a limited number of consultations with experts in the field of tribal law. The overarching research questions are: How did the dominant society's constructions of race, class, and gender shape the inclusion and exclusion of White Mountain Apache women as they encountered Arizona's Aid to Dependent Children program, what reactions did the women have, and how were they regulated and/or supported by the Tribe's constitution and legal codes?; From 1934 until 1960 a persistent theme in the lives of White Mountain Apache women was the regulatory power of the federal and state governments. By imposing laws on the Tribe, the federal and state governments were able to introduce western cultural symbols and meanings into their society and mold the women (and men) into compliance with the prevailing social configurations. A similar impact was attained by the Aid to Dependent Children program. As the women gained entrance to ADC, they again encountered the regulatory force of the state. Social constructions and meanings surrounding marriage and work were two primary areas targeted by ADC. While ADC was not designed with the purpose of assimilating American Indians, its stigmatization of the poor, enforcement of the work ethic, support for the nuclear family, and legitimization of low-wage labor all worked to weave American Indians deeper into the fabric of American life.
