description: Over the last 200 years the Carpathian region experienced several major political transformations from Habsburg Empire to World Wars and Soviet Union expansion and collapse, which brought forth significant land-use and forest cover changes and fragmentation [1]. The aim of the research is to quantify rates and spatial patterns of forest cover change in response to socio-economic transformations. The historical land use dataset [1] of the Carpathian region (1819-1980) from digitized historical maps of three time periods: Habsburg period (1819 – 1873), World Wars period (1923 –1945), Socialist period (1950–1980) was used supplemented by land cover data derived from resent satellite images (2014-2018). A set of landscape metrics was applied for forest cover fragmentation assessment of each time period and the efficiency of ten landscape metrics was confirmed, in particular: the largest fragment index, the edge density index, core area index, Shannon diversity index, Simpson’s evenness index, contact index, the circle index, patch density index, the proximity index and the cohesion index. The map of forest cover change magnitude was developed highlighting the unchanged forest areas over the last two centuries, according to the historical maps. This data was compared with statistical information of State Forest Resources Agency of Ukraine on primeval forests and protective forest areas in administrative districts of Ukraine. These results confirm the efficiency of landscape metrics as a tool for forest structure monitoring, modeling and comparing the different land-use scenarios

description: The amount of farmland in Canada serves as the basis for debate on a host of public policy issues ranging from food security to sustainability to competiveness. Despite the interest and the basis for policies such as land use controls, there is little documentation on total farmland area and composition in Canada. This report documents the changes in the total amount of farmland in Canada using data from the Census of Agriculture. The national and provincial trends in the composition of farmland from 1921 to 2016 are described with additional focus at the county level for Ontario. There are approximately 160 million acres of farmland in Canada. While there have generally not been significant changes in the amount of farmland between census periods, there were drops of around 4% in the 1981 and 2011 census. Most of this farmland is located in Saskatchewan (40%) and Alberta (31%), while the total amount in Ontario has fallen by 50% since 1941 and represents 8% of the Canadian total. Approximately half of Canada’s total farmland is used to grow crops. The amount of cropland has increased by 28% over the past 40 years with much of the growth occurring from 1976 to 2001. Seeded pasture, which makes up less than 10% of total farmland, has also increased over time with much of the increase occurring in the Prairies. While cropland and seeded pasture generally rose over time, the small decline in national farmland was due to the 92% drop in the area allocated to summerfallow since 1976. The total loss of 3.1 million acres of farmland in Ontario since 1976 is due largely to the reduction in non-cropland as the area planted to crop rose by 4% in total from 1976 to 2016. These changes in total farmland and its mix are evident for all regions although the mix varies significantly. Counties in the southwestern portion of the province have over 75% of their total farmland allocated to growing crops whereas this is approximately 50% in the rest of the province. This percentage, although smaller than in the southwestern region, has also increased over time due to the drop in pasture, fallow, and woodlot/wetland area.

description: Recently the neglected issue of the causal structure in the flat spacetime approach to Einstein's theory of gravity has been substantially resolved. Consistency requires that the flat metric's null cone be respected by the null cone of the effective curved metric. While consistency is not automatic, thoughtful use of the naive gauge freedom resolves the problem. After briefly recapitulating how consistent causality is achieved, we consider the flat Robertson-Walker Big Bang model. The Big Bang singularity in the spatially flat Robertson-Walker cosmological model is banished to past infinity in Minkowski spacetime. A modified notion of singularity is proposed to fit the special relativistic approach, so that the Big Bang becomes nonsingular.

description: The results of a CO line survey in central cluster galaxies with cooling flows are presented. Cold molecular gas is detected with the IRAM 30m telescope, through CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) emission lines in 6-10 among 32 galaxies. The corresponding gas masses are between 3.10^8 and 4.10^10 Msol. These results are in agreement with recent CO detections by Edge (2001). A strong correlation between the CO emission and the Halpha luminosity is also confirmed. Cold gas exists in the center of cooling flow clusters and these detections may be interpreted as an evidence of the long searched very cold residual of the hot cooling gas.

description: An original non-standard approach to describing the structure of a column stabilizer in a group of $n \times n$ matrices over a polynomial ring or a Laurent polynomial ring of $n$ variables is presented. The stabilizer is described as an extension of a subgroup of a rather simple structure using the $(n-1) \times (n-1)$ matrix group of congruence type over the corresponding ring of $n-1$ variables. In this paper, we consider cases where $n \leq 3.$ For $n = 2$, the stabilizer is defined as a one-parameter subgroup, and the proof is carried out by direct calculation. The case $n = 3$ is nontrivial; the approach mentioned above is applied to it. Corollaries are given to the results obtained. In particular, we prove that for the stabilizer in the question, it is not generated by its a finite subset together with the so-called tame stabilizer of the given column. We are going to study the cases when $n \geq 4$ in a forthcoming paper. Note that a number of key subgroups of the groups of automorphisms of groups are defined as column stabilizers in matrix groups. For example, this describes the subgroup IAut($M_r$) of automorphisms that are identical modulo a commutant of a free metabelian group $M_r$ of rank $r$. This approach demonstrates the parallelism of theories of groups of automorphisms of groups and matrix groups that exists for a number of well-known groups. This allows us to use the results on matrix groups to describe automorphism groups. In this work, the classical theorems of Suslin, Cohn, as well as Bachmuth and Mochizuki are used.

description: We analyze the D9-D9bar system in type IIB string theory using Dp-brane probes. It is shown that the world-volume theory of the probe Dp-brane contains two-dimensional and four-dimensional QED in the cases with p=1 and p=3, respectively, and some applications of the realization of these well-studied quantum field theories are discussed. In particular, the two-dimensional QED (the Schwinger model) is known to be a solvable theory and we can apply the powerful field theoretical techniques, such as bosonization, to study the D-brane dynamics. The tachyon field created by the D9-D9bar strings appears as the fermion mass term in the Schwinger model and the tachyon condensation is analyzed by using the bosonized description. In the T-dualized picture, we obtain the potential between a D0-brane and a D8-D8bar pair using the Schwinger model and we observe that it consists of the energy carried by fundamental strings created by the Hanany-Witten effect and the vacuum energy due to a cylinder diagram. The D0-brane is treated quantum mechanically as a particle trapped in the potential, which turns out to be a system of a harmonic oscillator. As another application, we obtain a matrix theory description of QED using Taylor's T-duality prescription, which is actually applicable to a wide variety of field theories including the realistic QCD. We show that the lattice gauge theory is naturally obtained by regularizing the matrix size to be finite.

Testing stellar models with observations from AGB and post-AGB stars

description: Low- to intermediate-mass stars (0.8 - 7 M{u2299}) are interesting in a broad astronomical context because they produce large amounts of electromagnetic radiation, they eject large amounts of mass, and the ejected mass contains many products of internal nucleosynthesis. However, theoretical studies of the evolution of red-giants are inhibited by uncertainties in important processes such as mass loss, convective mixing, and grain formation in stellar winds. From an observational point of view it is difficult to determine stellar parameters such as the initial mass and metallicity. This makes it hard to constrain theoretical models with observations. The objective of my Ph.D. thesis is to provide a deeper understanding of the physical mechanisms and the nucleosynthesis that occurs in the late stages of stellar evolution for low-to intermediate-mass stars by deriving and using the best observational constraints available. The first two parts of this study were carried out using three intermediate-age clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. Accurate initial masses and mass loss rates were estimated using the pulsation properties of cluster-AGB stars. Subsequently, updated stellar evolution models constrained with observations of these cluster-AGB stars were constructed. Surfaces abundances were calculated as a function of initial mass and metallicity and compared to observationally derived abundances. The final parts of this thesis are based on an observational study of post-AGB stars. Post-AGB stars bear signatures of the structural and chemical composition changes that occur during the AGB phase of evolution and therefore can be used to constrain AGB models. To be able to utilise the wealth of information that can be gained from these objects, a catalog of post-AGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds has been created firstly by selecting candidates based on the existence of a mid-infrared excess and secondly by obtaining low resolution optical spectra. The optical spectra and broadband photometry from the optical to mid-infrared were used to derive luminosities, effective temperatures and masses for the post-AGB stars. These catalogs of spectroscopically verified post-AGB stars are expected to be a valuable resource for the study of the late stages of stellar evolution as a function of initial mass and metallicity because of the known distances to the Magellanic Clouds. In summary, this thesis, using observations of AGB and post-AGB stars, has paved the path towards constraining and improving stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis models, and it provides a catalog of post-AGB candidates in the Magellanic Clouds that can be used in future studies to further constrain models of AGB nucleosynthesis.

description: Rates of Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) are highest amongst young adults. Paucity of brain tissues samples limits the ability to examine the molecular basis of cannabis related neuropathology. Proteomic studies of neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEs) isolated from the biofluids may reveal markers of neuropathology in CUD. NDEs were extracted using ExoSORT, an immunoaffinity method to enrich NDEs from plasma samples from patients with young onset CUD and matched controls. Differential proteomic profiles were explored with Label Free Quantification (LFQ) mass spectrometry. Selected proteins were validated using orthogonal methods. A total of 231 (+/- 10) proteins were identified in NDE preparations from CUD and controls of which 28 were differentially abundant between groups. The difference in abundance of properdin (CFP gene) was statistically significant. SHANK1 (SHANK1 gene), an adapter protein at the post-synaptic density, was nominally depleted in the CUD NDE preparations. In this pilot study, we noted a decrease in SHANK1 protein, involved in the structural and functional integrity of glutamatergic post-synapse, a potential peripheral signature of CUD neuropathology. The study shows that LFQ mass spectrometry proteomic analysis of NDEs derived from plasma may yield important insights into the synaptic pathology associated with CUD.

description: We report a case of 40-year-old man who had a diagnose case of schizophrenia on olanzapine had developsymptomatic hypothermia. The majority of documented cases involve short duration of hypothermia often<24 h. Antipsychotics that are a more potent antagonists at 5-hydroxytryptamine 2 (5HT2) than at dopamine2 receptors appear more likely to cause hypothermia. Hypothermia is an adverse drug reaction of antipsychoticdrug use. It is strong 5HT2 antagonistic characteristics which induced hypothermia has been proposed. 55%of hypothermia reports are for atypical antipsychotics. A 40-year-old man with schizophrenia who was beingtreated with a therapeutic dose of olanzapine presented with shivering, slurred speech, and confusion. He hada core temperature of 31.5°C. Electrocardiogram showed sinus bradycardia with Osborn waves or J waves.He did not have any risk factors for developing hypothermia except the use of olanzapine. There was animprovement in his clinical condition with reversal of electrocardiogram changes following gradual re-warmingand withhold of olanzapine. Olanzapine-induced hypothermia is rare and has been reported during initiationand increasing the dose or even in stable dose, but this case report raises the possibility of hypothermia evenin the patients who are on stable doses of olanzapine for a long period of time. Clinicians should consider thepossibility of drug-induced illness in hypothermic patients who are taking antipsychotics.

description: Gluon jets with a mean energy of 22 GeV and purity of 95% are selected from hadronic Z0 decay events produced in e+e- annihilations. A subsample of these jets is identified which exhibits a large gap in the rapidity distribution of particles within the jet. After imposing the requirement of a rapidity gap, the gluon jet purity is 86%. These jets are observed to demonstrate a high degree of sensitivity to the presence of color reconnection, i.e. higher order QCD processes affecting the underlying color structure. We use our data to test three QCD models which include a simulation of color reconnection: one in the Ariadne Monte Carlo, one in the Herwig Monte Carlo, and the other by Rathsman in the Pythia Monte Carlo. We find the Rathsman and Ariadne color reconnection models can describe our gluon jet measurements only if very large values are used for the cutoff parameters which serve to terminate the parton showers, and that the description of inclusive Z0 data is significantly degraded in this case. We conclude that color reconnection as implemented by these two models is disfavored. The signal from the Herwig color reconnection model is less clear and we do not obtain a definite conclusion concerning this model. In a separate study, we follow recent theoretical suggestions and search for glueball-like objects in the leading part of the gluon jets. No clear evidence is observed for these objects.

description: This thesis discusses the following aspects in Qing clan rules: role models, clan identity moral order in a family, household management, career development, study habits and punishment. The values Qing families imparted to children in clan rules include filial piety, obedience to the dominant, diligent study, choosing socially acceptable occupation, marrying someone who would benefit the clan, female's chastity, mutual help between clan members, observing imperial laws and respecting the ancestors. Individual's behaviour that would maintain or improve the clan's interests was regarded as virtuous, while behaviour that endangered the clan's survival or reputation was viewed as wrong. Clan rules reflected certain aspects of Qing social and political life, but my research identifies a gap between ideals upheld by Qing clan rules and social reality reflected in related historical materials, such as legal documents and local gazetteers. Referring to all key components in effective moral functioning, including the ability to distinguish right from wrong, the desire to make the best moral decisions, and the demonstration to act accordingly, it is concluded that the gap between ideals of Qing clan rules and social reality was constituted by family-centred ethics, hierarchy, utilitarianism and formalism in clan rules. Clan-based morality and hierarchy failed to model a respectful attitude toward the feeling, opinion and rights of women, children, servants and clan outsiders, which violated social justice and was immoral in itself. Utilitarianism could skew the moral decision process. Punishment was relied on to constrain clan members' misbehaviour and could make proper behaviour drift into ostensive conformity. These four flaws could undermine the effectiveness of moral education of Qing clan rules.

description: In a competitive digital environment, news outlets employ attention-gaining strategies, including the portrayal of conflict. Yet such coverage may backfire. Using an experiment comparing exposure to disagreeable or uncivil conflict news, we examine how articles with different types of conflict relate to intended news engagement through the mediating variables of perceived incivility, news source credibility, and/or surveillance emotions and test the moderating effects of conflict avoidance. We find that in textual, digital settings, uncivil conflict news is high risk and low reward: perceived incivility can increase engagement through surveillance emotions but also can decrease engagement directly and through decreased news credibility.

description: An essential spanning forest of an infinite graph $G$ is a spanning forest of $G$ in which all trees have infinitely many vertices. Let $G_n$ be an increasing sequence of finite connected subgraphs of $G$ for which $\bigcup G_n=G$. Pemantle's arguments imply that the uniform measures on spanning trees of $G_n$ converge weakly to an $\operatorname {Aut}(G)$-invariant measure $μ_G$ on essential spanning forests of $G$. We show that if $G$ is a connected, amenable graph and $Γ\subset \operatorname {Aut}(G)$ acts quasitransitively on $G$, then $μ_G$ is the unique $Γ$-invariant measure on essential spanning forests of $G$ for which the specific entropy is maximal. This result originated with Burton and Pemantle, who gave a short but incorrect proof in the case $Γ\cong\mathbb{Z}^d$. Lyons discovered the error and asked about the more general statement that we prove.

description: In this article, we present a novel method for the elemental analysis of airborne aerosol particles using electrodynamic balance (EDB) trapping followed by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. The setup consists of a newly designed corona-based aerosol charger, double-ring electrodynamic balance trap and optical arrangement for the spectroscopy. Experimental laboratory measurements using the method show that the minimum particle size for successful analysis is 1 µm in diameter, and the minimum airborne concentration is of the order of 1 particle/cm3. In addition to the method, we will present results on the charging efficiency of the developed charger and novel stability analysis of the EDB at the charge region. The results from the stability analysis will ease the way toward analyzing submicron particles with the technique.

description: Recent discovery of topological superconductors (TSCs) has sparked enormous interest. Realization of TSC requires a delicate tuning of multiple microscopic parameters, which remains a great challenge. Here, we develop a first-principles approach to quantify realistic conditions of TSC by solving self-consistently Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation based on Wannier function construction of band structure, in presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling, Zeeman splitting and electron-phonon coupling. We further demonstrate the power of this new method by predicting the Mn-doped GeTe (Ge$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Te) monolayer - a well-known dilute magnetic semiconductor showing superconductivity under hole doping - to be a Class D TSC with Chern number of -1 and chiral Majorana edge modes. By constructing a first-principles phase diagram in the parameter space of temperature and Mn concentration, we propose the TSC phase can be induced at a lower-limit transition temperature of ~40 mK and the Mn concentration of $x$~0.015%. Our approach can be generally applied to TSCs with a phonon-mediated pairing, providing useful guidance for future experiments.

description: The crystal structure, magnetic, electronic, and thermal properties of Mn-doped SrFe2As2 crystals have been systematically investigated. A miscibility gap is found in the system from x = 0.4362(4) to x = 0.9612(9). For x < 0.2055(2), the single crystals holding tetragonal structure (space group I4/mmm (no. 139)) have a continuously enlarged lattice parameter c, followed by a phase separation with crystals holding both tetragonal and trigonal structures up to x = 0.4362(4). Beyond the miscibility gap, the crystals with x > 0.9612(9) hold the trigonal structure (space group P-3m1 (no. 164)). Moreover, the spin density wave ordering for x = 0 to x = 0.0973(1) is suppressed, followed by an abnormal and broadened increase of the ordering temperature for x = 0.0973(1) to x = 0.2055(2). Eliminating the possibility of real-space phase separation of Mn and Fe based on the results of X-ray diffraction, this novel phenomenon can be attributed to a possible intrinsic Griffiths phase. No any superconducting signals are observed down to 2 K in the whole composition range with 0 < x < 1. A phase diagram with multi-critical points of Mn-doped SrFe2As2 system is established accordingly.

description: Droplet based microfluidics are promising new tools for biological and chemical assays. So far, droplet based microfluidics hasn't been reported for a complete directed evolution. Especially, there is no report on OpdA enzyme evolution based on a robust droplet based microfluidics. In this Thesis, a high throughput and high sensitivity microfluidic droplet platform is developed for in vitro protein expressions. The first model protein used in these studies is the green fluorescence protein (GFP). The system investigations involve various experimental parameters, such as the use of surfactants, the flow rates and so on. Such system has been achieved to be stable and reliable in which the GFP expression has been successfully performed using the in-house crude cell extract. The thesis also reports on the second model protein, a phospotriesterase from Agrobacterium radiobacter P230, to be successfully synthesized and assayed by use of the same microfluidic system as that for GFP expression. The assay of the enzyme with substrate coumaphos in droplets is demonstrated by investigating the enzyme activity through the variation of the flow rates. The comparison of two reactions kits between the in-house kit and the commercial kit for the enzyme expression in microfluidics is also discussed. The findings of leakage of product chlorferon in droplets which v could be the reason for the inaccurate droplet information is discussed. Further investigations and managements on molecule diffusion from the aqueous droplet to the outer phases are carried out by using 4-methylumbelliferone as a model dye in single and double emulsion based microfluidics. The effect of bovine serum albumin in aqueous phase on the diffusion of 4-methylumbelliferone is discussed. And a proof-of-concept method to assay OpdA enzyme with coumaphos using a double-emulsion microfluidic system is demonstrated. Considering the advantages of double emulsions for their potential applications in directed evolution, a simple method to integrate the double-emulsion technique with microfluidics is first introduced for protein expression. Investigations on the system, such as emulsion stability and fluorescence detection of these emulsion droplets, are presented. The practicability of system has been demonstrated by the successful synthesis of GFP, which holds a great promise to be used in combination with the fluorescence-activated cell sorting technique in the near future.

description: We present the Mock Map Facility, a powerful tool to generate mock catalogues or images from semi-analytically post-processed snapshots of cosmological N-body simulations. The paper describes in detail an efficient technique to create such mocks from the GALICS semi-analytic model, providing the reader with an accurate quantification of the artifacts it introduces at every step. We show that replication effects introduce a negative bias on the clustering signal -- typically peaking at less than 10 percent around the correlation length. We also thoroughly discuss how the clustering signal is affected by finite volume effects, and show that it vanishes at scales larger than about a tenth of the simulation box size. For the purpose of analysing our method, we show that number counts and redshift distributions obtained with GALICS and MOMAF compare well to K-band observations and to the 2dFGRS. Given finite volume effects, we also show that the model can reproduce the APM angular correlation function. The MOMAF results discussed here are made publicly available to the astronomical community through a public database. Moreover, a user-friendly Web interface (http://galics.iap.fr) allows any user to recover her/his own favourite galaxy samples through simple SQL queries. The flexibility of this tool should permit a variety of uses ranging from extensive comparisons between real observations and those predicted by hierarchical models of galaxy formation, to the preparation of observing strategies for deep surveys and tests of data processing pipelines.

Kibble-Zurek mechanism in driven-dissipative systems crossing a non-equilibrium phase transition

description: The Kibble-Zurek mechanism constitutes one of the most fascinating and universal phenomena in the physics of critical systems. It describes the formation of domains and the spontaneous nucleation of topological defects when a system is driven across a phase transition exhibiting spontaneous symmetry breaking. While a characteristic dependence of the defect density on the speed at which the transition is crossed was observed in a vast range of equilibrium condensed matter systems, its extension to intrinsically driven-dissipative systems is a matter of ongoing research. In this work we numerically confirm the Kibble-Zurek mechanism in a paradigmatic family of driven-dissipative quantum systems, namely exciton-polaritons in microcavities. Our findings show how the concepts of universality and critical dynamics extend to driven-dissipative systems that do not conserve energy or particle number nor satisfy a detailed balance condition.

description: Position of Rhinomirini and their synapomorphies
Gorczyca placed the Rhinomiris complex, the Rhinocylapus complex, and Rhinomiriella Gorczyca, 2001 (junior synonym of Ceratofulvius Reuter, 1902) in Rhinomirini (Gorczyca 2000, 2001). Gorczyca (2000) suggested that this is a sister group to Cylapini. Superficially, Rhinomirini are more similar to Fulviini, because their representatives have a more or less prognathous head and long labium, and this tribe forms a clade with Fulviini in the study by Wolski (2021). Namyatova and Cassis (2019a) showed that Rhinomirini sensu Gorczyca (2000) are non-monophyletic based on molecular and morphological data. In that work, the Rhinomiris complex did not form well-supported sister-group relationships with any other group. The Rhinocylapus complex and Ceratofulvius formed well-supported clades with representatives of Fulviini. Therefore, Rhinomirini were restricted to the Rhinomiris complex, comprising only four genera: Rhinomiris, Rhinomiridius Poppius, 1909, Lundbladiolla Carvalho, 1955, and Pararhinomiris Gorczyca, 2003 (Namyatova and Cassis 2019 a, Tyts et al. 2022). Those results were confirmed in the present study. In the paper by Oh et al. (2023), only Rhinomiris camelus Poppius, 1909 was included in the analysis, and it did not form well-supported sister-group relationships with other taxa.
In this analysis, we included the molecular data for Rhinomiris only, and we also included morphological data for Rhinomiridius dentatus. These two genera form a well-supported clade, and this confirms the previous results (Namyatova and Cassis 2019 a, Tyts et al. 2022). In most analyses, Rhinomirini form poorly supported clades with other groups. The exception is the Bayesian analysis with 65 taxa, where this tribe is in the clade with Bothriomirini, Cylapini, Vanniini, Mirinae, Orthotylinae, Phylinae, and Bryocorinae without Nesidiocoris tenuis (PPTE = 90; see discussion of Cylapinae). We did not have specimens of Lundbladiolla and Pararhinomiris for examination. The next step in studying Rhinomirini sensu Namyatova and Cassis (2019a) should involve testing their monophyly with morphological and molecular data. The position of Rhinomirini within Miridae remains uncertain, and most probably, genomic data are needed to clarify it.

description: In this article, we present a novel method for the elemental analysis of airborne aerosol particles using electrodynamic balance (EDB) trapping followed by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. The setup consists of a newly designed corona-based aerosol charger, double-ring electrodynamic balance trap and optical arrangement for the spectroscopy. Experimental laboratory measurements using the method show that the minimum particle size for successful analysis is 1 µm in diameter, and the minimum airborne concentration is of the order of 1 particle/cm3. In addition to the method, we will present results on the charging efficiency of the developed charger and novel stability analysis of the EDB at the charge region. The results from the stability analysis will ease the way towards analyzing submicron particles with the technique. Copyright © 2020 American Association for Aerosol Research
