description: We investigate whether political ideology has an observable effect on decarbonization ambition, renewable power aims, and preferences for power system balancing technologies in four European countries. Based on the Energy Logics framework, we identify ideologically different transition strategies (state-centered, market-centered, grassroots-centered) contained in government policies and opposition party programs valid in 2019. We compare these policies and programs with citizen poll data. We find that ideology has a small effect: governments and political parties across the spectrum have similar, and relatively ambitious, decarbonization and renewables targets. This mirrors citizens’ strong support for ambitious action regardless of their ideological self-description. However, whereas political positions on phasing out fossil fuel power are clear across the policy space, positions on phasing in new flexibility options to balance intermittent renewables are vague or non-existent. As parties and citizens agree on strong climate and renewable power aims, the policy ambition is likely to remain high, even if governments change.

 Type material. The whereabouts of the types from the Pliocene of Italy are unknown (Davoli 1982).
 Studied material. 10 specimens from Bologna and Modena (Italy) NHMW 1863 /0023/0067.
 Discussion. When describing Cancellaria brandenburgi as a new species, Boettger (1902) already recognised the similarity with Cancellaria serrata Bronn, 1831 and based his species on the more slender shell. The shape of Admetula serrata (Bronn, 1831), however, is variable and comprises bulky and slender shells (see Chirli 2002). Therefore, we follow Landau et al. (2006) and treat Boettger’s species as a synonym of Admetula serrata (Bronn, 1831). See Zilch (1934) for an illustration of a Paratethyan specimen of that species.
 Distribution. The species appears during the Burdigalian in the Proto –Mediterranean Sea (Sacco 1894) and spreads into the Paratethys during the early Middle Miocene. It seems to retreat from the Paratethys already during the Serravallian. It is quite common during the Late Miocene of the Proto –Mediterranean Sea and experiences its maximum distribution during the Pliocene, when it is known also from the North East Atlantic (Spain) and the North Sea Basin (Harmer 1916). It finally, disappears in the Mediterranean Sea during the Piacenzian (Pliocene) (Landau et al. 2006).

description: The aim of the paper is to evaluate the effect of firm size to the economic performance of firm belonging to the raising of swine sector (CZ-NACE 01.460). The economic performance is assessed using multiple- criteria evaluation of alternatives methods where the selected coefficients of the profitability ratios, labour productivity and operating ratio are used as the indicator of economic performance. To assess the relationship between firm size and firm performance, the linear regression model is used. The study uses data collected from the database Albertina CZ Gold Edition for the year 2013 that are provided by Bisnode company and from Business Register. The results showed that the larger firms reached higher economic performance compared with smaller ones. These finding indicates that economies of scale are likely to play an important role in sector of raising swine.

description: This article analyzes the possibility of substantially reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) in the Mexican industrial sector by applying a Low-carbon (LC) scenario, through a period of 25 years, composed by a set of mitigation options that involve the use of energy efficiency, materials recycling, cogeneration and renewable energy. Results reveal that a GHG peak of 226 million tons of equivalent CO2 could be reached by 2030 with a GHG reduction of 26.5%, compared to a Base scenario, demonstrating that the LC scenario could exceed Mexico’s Nationally Determined Contributions objective of reducing 19% of its industrial sector GHG by 2030. Additionally, GHG reduction of 47% could be achieved by 2035. Finally, the economic viability of the LC scenario was evaluated using a cost-benefit approach. As a result, economic benefits above $24,000 million dollars could be achieved due the energy savings generated are greater than costs to implement the mitigation options.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: (Abridged) Using the number and sizes of observed gravitational lenses, I derive upper limits on the dark matter content of elliptical galaxies. Galaxies built from Cold Dark Matter (CDM) mass distributions are too concentrated to comfortably satisfy these limits; SCDM is ruled out, and LCDM is only marginally consistent with the data. Thus, lensing adds to the evidence that CDM mass distributions are too concentrated on kiloparsec scales to agree with real galaxies, and extends the argument to elliptical galaxies. By contrast, the lack of central images in radio lenses implies that the central densities of CDM galaxies are too low on ~10 parsec scales, even if supermassive black holes are included. Self-interacting dark matter, or any other modification to regular cold dark matter, must simultaneously reduce the densities on kiloparsec scales and increase the densities on parsec scales in order to satisfy the unique constraints from lensing.

 Length 20.5 mm. Greatest width 10.5 mm. Humeral width 9.0 mm. Excluding sexual dimorphic variation as male except: Form. Robust, slightly ovate, widest at posterior 1/2. Color. Clypeus deep rufotestaceous; pygidial disc rufopiceous; venter and exposed abdominal sternites pale testaceous. Head. Anterior clypeal margin medially tumescent; frontoclypeal sutural margins coarsely eroded. Pronotum. Lateral margins and bead more acutely angled and explanate. Scutellum. Slightly narrower basally. Elytra. Squamal vestiture more evenly distributed; vittae more uniform, edges not as coarse as in male, sutural vittae absent anteriorly; subsutural and discal vittae adjoined basally. Venter. Squamal and setal vestiture reduced. Legs. Protibia strongly tridentate; dentition widely separated, distal tooth strongly recurved.
 Remarks. The distribution of this species was previously amended (La Rue 1998).
 The female was encountered crawling on the sand surface at dusk in an area of semi-stabilized parabolic and barchan dunes with scattered Calamovilfa gigantea and Quercus harvardii Rydberg (sand shinnery oak: Fagaceae) (C.S. Wolfe, personal communication). This locality is associated with the Monahans and Andrews dune fields, in Andrews, Ward, and Winkler Counties, west Texas, and are part of the Southern High Plains dune system (Machenberg 1984; Muhs and Holliday 2001).

description: Frailty is a prevalent complication predicting morbidity and mortality in cirrhosis. However, the association between thyroid hormone levels and frailty in cirrhotics remains elusive. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between thyroid hormone and frail phenotype in euthyroid patients with cirrhosis. A total of 214 adult cirrhotic inpatients were divided into two groups according to Frailty Index. Concentrations of free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were compared. An analysis of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was implemented to determine the best cutoff for frailty. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess the association between FT3 and frailty. ROC analysis indicated that the optimal cutoff to stratify frailty was FT3 < 3.03 pmol/L with an area under the curve of 0.673 (95% CI: 0.582–0.764, p = 0.002), sensitivity of 81.8%, and specificity of 51.9%. Patients with FT3 < 3.03 pmol/L exhibited higher incidence of Child-Pugh class B/C, elevated model for end-stage liver disease score, higher creatinine, lower sodium as well as higher incidence of frailty (23.7 vs 6.0%, p < 0.001). A negative correlation was observed between FT3 values and Frailty Index (r = −0.220, p = 0.001). FT3 remained an independent risk factor for frailty after adjusting for age, Child-Pugh class, creatinine, sodium, and alanine aminotransferase. In our current study, FT3 < 3.03 pmol/L were significantly associated with increased risk for frailty. Measuring FT3, a readily available biomarker, may be useful for identifying frail phenotype in euthyroid patients with cirrhosis.

description: The dynamics of a two-dimensional vortex are analyzed within the framework of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Both a bare vortex and a vortex with an external mass trapped in a finite-sized core are considered. The bare vortex motion is found to be damped at all frequencies, while the finite core has a single resonant frequency. The force exerted by the fluid on the finite core can be expressed as a sum of dissipative and Magnus forces for sufficiently low frequencies, even when the core is small.

description: As a useful complement to numerous innovation policy studies from a normative perspective, this paper provides a positive framework to analyze the basic economic mechanism of energy technological innovation and explain its slow pace of technological progress. We find that the capital-intensiveness of energy technology is an inhibiting factor to catalyze market size effect and slows innovations and diffusions of energy technology in the market. We also show that the substantial homogeneity of energy products leads to both a monopolistic market structure on the supply side and a weak level of positive pecuniary externality on the demand side, both dampening the incentive of innovation. On the basis of our economic analysis, we recommend that a package of 􀁓􀁒􀁏􀁌􀁆􀁜􀀃􀁕􀁈􀁖􀁓􀁒􀁑􀁖􀁈􀁖􀀃􀁗􀁒􀀃􀁄􀁆􀁆􀁈􀁏􀁈􀁕􀁄􀁗􀁌􀁑􀁊􀀃􀁈􀁑􀁈􀁕􀁊􀁜􀀃􀁌􀁑􀁑􀁒􀁙􀁄􀁗􀁌􀁒􀁑􀀃􀁖􀁋􀁒􀁘􀁏􀁇􀀃􀁌􀁑􀁆􀁏􀁘􀁇􀁈􀀃􀀔􀀌􀀃􀁇􀁒􀁚􀁑􀁖􀁌􀁝􀁌􀁑􀁊􀀃􀂳􀁋􀁈􀁄􀁙􀁜􀂴􀀃 assets of energy technologies; 2) deregulating monopolistic energy-supplying markets; and 3) differentiating the homogenous energy products.

description: With the promise of federated learning (FL) to allow for geographically-distributed and highly personalized services, the efficient exchange of model updates between clients and servers becomes crucial. FL, though decentralized, often faces communication bottlenecks, especially in resource-constrained scenarios. Existing data compression techniques like gradient sparsification, quantization, and pruning offer some solutions, but may compromise model performance or necessitate expensive retraining. In this paper, we introduce FedSZ, a specialized lossy-compression algorithm designed to minimize the size of client model updates in FL. FedSZ incorporates a comprehensive compression pipeline featuring data partitioning, lossy and lossless compression of model parameters and metadata, and serialization. We evaluate FedSZ using a suite of error-bounded lossy compressors, ultimately finding SZ2 to be the most effective across various model architectures and datasets including AlexNet, MobileNetV2, ResNet50, CIFAR-10, Caltech101, and Fashion-MNIST. Our study reveals that a relative error bound 10-2 achieves an optimal tradeoff, compressing model states between 5.55-12.61× while maintaining inference accuracy within < 0.5 % of uncompressed results. Additionally, the runtime overhead of FedSZ is < 4.7% or between of the wall-clock communication-round time, a worthwhile trade-off for reducing network transfer times by an order of magnitude for networks bandwidths < 350Mbps. Intriguingly, we also find that the error introduced by FedSZ could potentially serve as a source of differentially private noise, opening up new avenues for privacy-preserving FL.

 Female description. Based on two specimens labeled “ USA, California: Contra Costa Co., East Antioch, 14.V.1994, S.E. Haskins” same data except 10.VI.1994 (DALC).
 Length 21.0– 24.5 mm. Greatest width 10.5–12.0 mm. Humeral width 9.5–10.0 mm. Excluding sexual dimorphic variation as male except: Form. Robust, slightly ovate, widest at posterior 1/2. Color. Head and pronotum rufotestaceous; elytra appearing black to piceous, rufotestaceous to deep rufotestaceous under magnification (10.5×); venter and exposed abdominal sternites pale testaceous to rufotestaceous. Head. Anterior clypeal margin feebly to strongly bisinuate; lateral clypeal margins subparallel. Pronotum. Pale setae uniformly distributed over entire disc; lateral marginal bead crenulate. Elytra. Vittate, vittae fragmented, sublinear, composed of fragmented patches of small, white squamae; short, recumbent pale setae randomly scattered over disc or confined to elytral declivities. Pygidium. Pale setae uniformly distributed over disc. Venter. Squamal and setal vestiture reduced. Legs. Protibia strongly tridentate, dentition widely separated; pale straw-colored setae uniformly distributed over anterior surface, or nearly glabrous; distal tooth strongly recurved; anterior mesotibial surface with coarse dentiform projections.
 Remarks. The distribution and ecological associations of this species were previously amended (La Rue 1998).
The females were encountered within or partially emerged from their burrows in hard-packed clay soil while observing male flight behavior at dusk. Males were attracted to a blacklight placed in an area of sandy alluvial soil (S.E. Haskins, personal communication).
 Remnants of the Antioch Sand Dunes continue to support what remains of an oak-willow woodland canopy with a ground cover of scattered forbs and grasses. Ecologically, these habitat parameters correspond to extant populations of P. stellata in Sacramento County, CA (La Rue 1998).

description: Phonology, as it is practiced, is deeply computational. Phonological analysis is data-intensive and the resulting models are nothing other than specialized data structures and algorithms. In the past, phonological computation - managing data and developing analyses - was done manually with pencil and paper. Increasingly, with the proliferation of affordable computers, IPA fonts and drawing software, phonologists are seeking to move their computation work online. Computational Phonology provides the theoretical and technological framework for this migration, building on methodologies and tools from computational linguistics. This piece consists of an apology for computational phonology, a history, and an overview of current research.

description: The clearing of forests for agricultural land and other marketable purposes is a welltrodden path of economic development. With these private benefits from deforestation come external costs: emissions from deforestation currently account for 12 per cent of global carbon emissions. A widespread intervention in reducing emissions from deforestation will affect the paths of agricultural expansion and economic growth of lower income nations. To investigate these processes, this paper presents a general, dynamic, stochastic model of deforestation and economic growth. The model is shown to generate unique deforestation and investment paths and a model without reduced deforestation policy is shown to have a stationary distribution of income and landholdings. There are three main findings. First, in the short run national output growth falls with compensation for reduced deforestation. Second, deforestation rates are reduced through compensating either reduced deforestation directly or the stock of forests; however, compensating the stock of forests is likely to be prohibitively expensive. Finally, by offering a fixed compensation rate, as opposed to a compensation rate tied to a stochastic carbon price, further reductions in deforestation can be achieved.

description: The retarded Van der Waals force between a polarizable particle and a perfectly conducting plate is re-examined. The expression for this force given by Casimir and Polder represents a mean force, but there are large fluctuations around this mean value on short time scales which are of the same order of magnitude as the mean force itself. However, these fluctuations occur on time scales which are typically of the order of the light travel time between the atom and the plate. As a consequence, they will not be observed in an experiment which measures the force averaged over a much longer time. In the large time limit, the magnitude of the mean squared velocity of a test particle due to this fluctuating Van der Waals force approaches a constant, and is similar to a Brownian motion of a test particle in an thermal bath with an effective temperature. However the fluctuations are not isotropic in this case, and the shift in the mean square velocity components can even be negative. We interpret this negative shift to correspond to a reduction in the velocity spread of a wavepacket. The force fluctuations discussed in this paper are special case of the more general problem of stress tensor fluctuations. These are of interest in a variety of areas fo physics, including gravity theory. Thus the effects of Van der Waals force fluctuations serve as a useful model for better understanding quantum effects in gravity theory.

description: Resumo A expressão “essencialismo estratégico” (originalmente proposta por Spivak) refere um tipo de solidariedade temporária para efeitos de acção social. O qualificativo “estratégico” estabelece uma ressalva em relação ao denegrido “essencialismo” e, simultaneamente, suspende as propostas alternativas de muita teoria social pós-estruturalista (nomeadamente na esteira de Foucault e, mais recentemente, de Butler) que apontam no sentido do estilhaçamento das categorias identitárias. Muitos movimentos sociais de cariz identitário não vivem separados da reflexão teórica e confrontam-se com o dilema de, por um lado, recusarem os próprios termos da categorização de que são alvo e, por outro, necessitarem de identificação com as categorias de modo a poderem movimentar-se no espaço público. No campo analítico, os cientistas sociais confrontam-se também com o dilema de estas duas opções serem mutuamente exclusivas. Propõe-se, nesta comunicação, que uma análise de base etnográfica e processual sobre as relações entre conflito, identificação e solidariedade, poderá ser o único caminho para ultrapassar o que, afinal, poderão ser falsos dilemas -propugnados por quem, na ciência social, não envereda pela etnografia ou por quem, nos movimentos sociais, não reflecte sobre as condições políticas da sua prática.

description: Casimir energy is always indicated as a potential source to generate a Traversable Wormhole. It is also used to proof the existence of negative energy which can be built in the laboratory. However, in the scientific literature there is no trace of the consequences on the traversable wormhole itself. In this work, we would like to consider such a source to see if and which kind of traversable wormhole can be produced. As a further analysis, we examine also the consequences of Quantum Weak Energy Conditions on the traversability of the wormhole. We find that an agreement with the original Casimir traversable wormhole is found. Nevertheless, despite of the traversability result, one finds once again that the traversability is only in principle but not in practice.

description: We perform an empirical synthesis of the blue integrated spectrum of the metal-rich globular cluster 47 Tucanae, based directly on the color-magnitude diagram of the cluster coupled to a moderately high-resolution spectral library. Freed from any significant dependence on theory, we are able to perform a fundamental test of the adequacy of the spectral library and its associated stellar parameters. Excellent fits are achieved for almost all absorption-line indices studied, provided the computations are corrected for two limitations of the spectral library, namely, the lack of a representative set of metal-poor giants and the absence of CN-strong stars. The latter effect is corrected by means of spectrum synthesis from model photospheres, considering the abundance pattern of CN-strong and CN-normal stars. We also need to perform a slight correction of the metallicity of the cluster (by --0.05 dex in relation to the standard value [Fe/H]=-0.7) in order to match the metal-line index measurements in the cluster spectrum. After these relatively small adjustments, the overall spectral agreement is good. Good fits are achieved for Hbeta, Hgamma, Mgb, , Ca4227 and Fe4383, and only Hdelta_F is overpredicted. Thus, ages inferred from Hdelta_F are slightly older than the ages based on the other Balmer lines, by ~ 3 Gyrs. The success of this exercise suggests that previous failures to synthesize the spectrum of 47 Tuc must have arisen from inadequacies in the theoretical evolutionary isochrones and/or luminosity functions. Such a possibility is considered in a companion paper.

description: Underground cybercrime forums have numerous discussion boards where users interact with each other. The majority of the topics revolve around technology, but a substantial number also discuss everyday topics and interests, including music. The aim of this research is to analyse the musical content posted on a large English-language underground forum to understand what types of musical content is shared, if the lyrics glamorise cybercrime, and if those who post musical content also post more about criminal activity. We find little evidence of the glamorisation of cybercrime. However, lyrics often depict a 'gangster' lifestyle, including the promotion of violence. We find that users who post on music boards post significantly less criminal content elsewhere on the forum, however when broken down by crime type they are significantly more likely to post about eWhoring and trading credentials than other forum users. We evaluate the performance of Google's Perspective API in detecting toxic content in music lyrics. We find the toxicity classifier was able to detect toxic speech to an extent, but was not particularly reliable. In exploring this further, we find a bug, in that the classifier only takes the first 501 characters as input, providing a way to evade the detection of toxic content. Content Warning: This research paper contains example forum posts, which contain graphic/explicit language that some readers might find upsetting. Please contact the author if you would prefer to read the article with toxic content removed.

description: We adopt a new representation of the relationship between emissions and income using long-run growth rates. Our approach allows us to test multiple hypotheses about the drivers of per capita emissions in a single framework and avoid several of the econometric issues that have plagued previous studies. We find that for carbon dioxide emissions, scale, convergence, and resource endowment effects are statistically significant. For sulfur emissions, the scale and convergence effects are significant, there is a strong negative time effect, and non-English legal origin and higher population density are associated with more rapidly declining emissions. The environmental Kuznets effect is not statistically significant in our full sample for either carbon or sulfur.

 Materials examined. GUATEMALA, El Quiché: Chichicastenango, central market, 10.X.1998, H. E. Mayne (1 male, DALC).
 Remarks. This species was originally described from Honduras (Casey 1889, 1914). Morón (2010, 2015 in litt.) records it from the states of Chiapas, Morelos, Oaxaca, Puebla, and Vera Cruz, Mexico. Accounting for phenotypic variation and sexual dimorphism (the holotype is a female, #35640, United States National Museum), the specimen cited above agrees in all essential morphological respects to Casey (1889, 1914) and Morón (2010, 2015 in litt.).

 Type material. the whereabouts of the type material are unknown; Davoli (1982) proposed a Burdilaglian specimen from Saint-Paul-lès-Dax (France) illustrated by Peyrot (1928) as plesiotype.
 Discussion. This species is known in the Paratethys only from Bavaria (Hölzl, 1958). The preservation of the material is always rather poor and the identifications have to be considered with caution. In respect to the variability of this species, as presented by Cahuzac et al. (2004), the Bavarian shells with relatively prominent axial ribs range well within C. contorta.
 Distribution. A very common species during the Early Miocene from the North East Atlantic to the Paratethys.
 North East Atlantic —Early Miocene: Aquitaine Basin (France: Aquitaine Basin). Proto –Mediterranean Sea — Burdigalian: Colli Torinesi: (Italy). Paratethys —Eggenburgian and Ottnangian: North Alpine Foreland Basin (Bavaria: Gernergraben, Kaltenbachgraben).

description: The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) is a hypothesized relationship between various indicators of environmental degradation and income per capita. As economies get richer environmental impacts first rise but eventually fall. In reality, though some types of environmental degradation have been reduced in developed countries others have not. Furthermore, the statistical evidence for the EKC is not robust and the mechanisms that might drive such patterns are still contested.

description: We derive underdamped evolution equations for the order-parameter (OP) strains of a ferroelastic material undergoing a structural transition, using Lagrangian variations with Rayleigh dissipation, and a free energy as a polynomial expansion in the $N=n+N_{op}$ symmetry-adapted strains. The $N_{op}$ strain equations are structurally similar in form to the Lagrange-Rayleigh 1D strain dynamics of Bales and Gooding (BG), with `strain accelerations' proportional to a Laplacian acting on a sum of the free energy strain derivative and frictional strain force. The tensorial St. Venant's elastic compatibility constraints that forbid defects, are used to determine the n non-order-parameter strains in terms of the OP strains, generating anisotropic and long-range OP contributions to the free energy, friction and noise. The {\it same} OP equations are obtained by either varying the displacement vector components, or by varying the N strains subject to the $N_c$ compatibility constraints. A Fokker-Planck equation, based on the BG dynamics with noise terms, is set up. The BG dynamics corresponds to a set of nonidentical nonlinear (strain) oscillators labeled by wavevector $\vec{k}$, with competing short- and long-range couplings. The oscillators have different `strain-mass' densities $ρ(k) \sim 1/k^2$ and dampings $\sim 1/ρ(k) \sim k^2$, so the lighter large-k oscillators equilibrate first, corresponding to earlier formation of smaller-scale oriented textures. This produces a sequential-scale scenario for post-quench nucleation, elastic patterning, and hierarchical growth. (Continued ...)

description: International diffusion of energy-saving technologies has received considerable attention in recent energy and climate economics studies. As a helpful methodological complement to the existing large-scale CGE/IAM–based modelling for energy and climate policy studies, this paper contributes to a transparent analytical model for an economically intuitive exposition on the fundamental mechanism of international technology diffusion for energy technological growth. We first develop an efficiency-improving vertical innovation model where energy technological progress is specified as an improvement in primary energy use efficiency. Then a variety-expanding horizontal innovation model is presented where energy technological progress is described as an expansion of energy technology variety. We show that in both models there is a cross-country convergence in the growth rate of energy technology in a long-run balanced growth path, but the absolute levels of energy technology tend to diverge due to cross-country differences in indigenous innovation efficiencies and knowledge absorptive capacities. An economy with a stronger capacity of absorbing foreign knowledge diffusion and undertaking indigenous research tends to have a higher level of energy technology.
