Correlation between body pigment reduction and eye reduction in subterranean fish and crustaceans
Creators: name: Farley, Josiah
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Loss of eye structures and body pigmentation are well documented heritable traits in subterranean organisms. Lamarck and Darwin determined that eye loss in cave organisms must be from disuse and not from natural selection. Since then, evolutionary speleologists have debated whether natural selection or neutral mutation has caused eye loss and de-pigmentation. Here we consider the evolution of eye and pigment reduction in subterranean organisms from a perspective of time rather than cause. While eyes and pigment are advantageous in well-lit environments, eyes maintain advantages in much darker environments than pigment does. This leads to the question of whether pigment reduction occurs before eye reduction in cave organisms. A comprehensive review of eye and pigment phenotypes in 366 subterranean vertebrate and invertebrate species suggests that pigment reduction does occur before eye reduction. In both invertebrate (Fisher’s p = 1.27x10-25) and vertebrate (Fisher’s p = 1.36x10-47) subterranean aquatic organisms body pigment tended to be further reduced relative to eye development.

description: Maternal anxiety and depression are common complications of the peripartum period that can have long-term consequences for women, children, and families. While cognitive processes are known to impact psychological outcomes, they are understudied as risk factors in the context of pregnancy. Addressing gaps in the literature, the present study aimed to examine: (1) risk perceptions, given modern pregnancies involve exposure to increasing amounts of risk-based and potentially empirically unfounded information and advice, and (2) stress mindsets, given the culturally salient message that stress is harmful and especially so during pregnancy. A national survey-based study was conducted in partnership with obstetricians and gynecologists (ob-gyns), belonging to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)’s Collaborative Ambulatory Research Network (CARN). The physician sample consisted of 73 ob-gyns, while the prenatal patient sample consisted of 388 women, 103 of whom completed a follow-up survey postpartum. Analysis of the data showed that patients underestimated the safety of exposure to a range of behaviors during pregnancy compared to average physician ratings of those same behaviors. Greater overestimation of risk was predicted by greater consumption of pregnancy related information and advice, but did not predict adverse mental health or obstetric outcomes other than unplanned cesarean delivery, above and beyond general perceived stress. Increasingly positive stress mindsets weakened the effect of stress on anxiety and depression symptoms during pregnancy, -+. Stress mindsets also moderated the effect of prenatal ratings of the pregnancy as a stressor on postpartum depression symptoms. While limitations are noted, this study contributes novel findings to the literature and suggests avenues for future research. Pregnancy-specific appraisals warrant further examination as potential risk factors for adverse outcomes and targets for maternal mental health initiatives.

Başlangıçta bir "hareket" veya "dernek" olarak faaliyet gösteriyordu ve bölgede bir dayanağı vardı. Onbirinci ve on ikinci yüzyıllarda Kalenderî tarikatinin öğretilerinde "suçlama", "yoksulluk" ve "samimiyet" kavramları hakim olmuştur. O zamanlar kalenderîler akidesi açıdan eleştirilmezdi. On üçüncü ve on beşinci yüzyıllarda, bir dizi akidevi suçlama, mistikler arasındaki eski konumlarının yıkılmasına yol açtı. Bu iddiaları tespit etmek ve sunmak önemlidir. Ayrıca bu tarikatin Merkezi Asya'daki faaliyetleri tarihi ve tasavvufi açıdan tam olarak araştırılmamıştır

description: The land refonn programme of the South African government has three focus areas, namely restitution of land rights to the victims of forced removals, redistribution of land to the disadvantaged and tenure refonn aimed at promoting security of tenure for all. In realising a programme of rapid and effective land reform it is important that all possible options ofland transfer to previously disentitled South Afiicans should be pursued. This paper briefly describes the different options for land reform in South Africa and discusses the progress made in implementing the land reform programme of the government and each of the options outside the programme. Based on current trends in the land redistribution programme and private land and a number of other assumptions it is estimated that around 0.39% of commercial farm land in South Africa could be transferred through a combination of models to Jess advantaged groups by the end of 1996.

description: It has been argued that indigenous land tenure arrangements influence individual incentives to invest in improvements (like watering points) and the ability to finance such investment through access to credit. In this study, data from small-scale livestock owners in the Northern Province are analyzed. The results indicate that those stockowners who operate on communal grazing with restrictions on the use of the common resource, earn more net farm income and invest in watering points. They are also more likely to have access to credit as compared with those stockowners who operate on open access with no restrictions on the use of the commons. The results have some positive implications for the formation of group schemes to manage livestock production in communal grazing areas in South Africa.

Within an induced innovation framework the two stage constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production function is used and results in a direct test of the inducement hypothesis which are applied to data for South Afiic.an commercial agriculture for the period 1947-91. Cointegration is established, RJld Ril error correction model (ECM) constructed. The results indicate that factor price ratios are not the sole cause of factor-saving biases of technological change. Public choice and macroeconomic incentives played a significant role resulting in a distorted development path.

description: Real time excitations in the broken symmetry phase of the classical Abelian Higgs model are investigated numerically in the unitary gauge. Persistent correlation is detected at finite energy density between the scalar and the longitudinal vector modes, the latter itself displaying non-Gaussian fluctuations. The effect diminishes when the energy density is lowered. Candidate effective mode variables are constructed by non-linear canonical point transformations. Their dispersion relations and equations of state are carefully tested.

THE RUNNING OF THE BEARS: WHEN CONTRACTORS OBSTRUCT U.S. FOREIGN POLICY
Creators: name: Koenig, Mitchell
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Why do firms obstruct the policy goals of the nation that employs them? For nations like the United States that rely on the private sector for their every function, a policy’s success or failure can hinge on a firm—in the case of Iraqi reconstruction after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, Blackwater, a private security company, was one such firm. Scholars such as P.W. Singer, Sean McFate, and James Pattison, as well as politicians, Dwight Eisenhower foremost among them, have argued that the military-industrial complex and specifically private security companies pose an inherent danger to nations that contract with these firms. Instead, this thesis holds a more generalizable position that Blackwater’s obstruction to the U.S. mission to rebuild Iraq can be understood using organization theory. This study examines Blackwater’s organizational behavior, organizational culture, and its principal-agent relationship with the United States to explain how Blackwater routinely set back the U.S. mission through use of force incidents against civilians, culminating in the Nisour Square massacre on September 16, 2007, after which Blackwater dramatically softened its posture. Organization theory provides an answer which explains both Blackwater’s impeding of the reconstruction effort from 2004-2007 and its subsequent change in behavior. The primary benefits of this organization theory explanation are twofold: it provides a more compelling answer because it can account for the variation in Blackwater’s impact on the U.S. mission before and after the Nisour Square shootings, and its logic can be applied to any firm that contracts with the U.S. government, not just private security companies.

description: Topological field theories emerge at low energy in strongly-correlated condensed matter systems and appear in the context of planar gravity. In particular, the study of Chern-Simons terms gives rise to the concept of flux attachment when the gauge field is coupled to matter, yielding flux-charge composites. Here we investigate the generation of flux attachment in a Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of non-linear synthetic gauge potentials. In doing so, we identify the U(1) Chern-Simons gauge field as a singular density-dependent gauge potential, which in turn can be expressed as a Berry connection. We envisage a proof-of-concept scheme where the artificial gauge field is perturbatively induced by an effective light-matter detuning created by interparticle interactions. At a mean field level, we recover the action of a "charged" superfluid minimally coupled to both a background and a Chern-Simons gauge field. Remarkably, a localised density perturbation in combination with a non-linear gauge potential gives rise to an effective composite boson model of fractional quantum Hall effect, displaying anyonic vortices.

description: Patient Adherence to Immunosuppressive Therapy for Chronic Inflammatory Eye Disease To investigate adherence rates to immunosuppressive therapy (IMT) for treatment of noninfectious inflammatory eye disease (IED), adherence and disease control, and factors associated with nonadherence. Retrospective review of medical charts from 2015 to 2020 was conducted on patients with IED at 6 months, 1 and 2 years after initiation of IMT. Of 183 patients, adherence rates at 6 months and 1 year were 70% and 58% by 2 years. Eighty-two percent, 78%, and 65% of patients with disease quiescence were adherent at 6 months, 1 and 2 years, respectively. Adherent patients have 1.86 (95% CI 1.09, 3.20) times greater likelihood for disease control compared to nonadherent. Primary reason for nonadherence was patient self-discontinuation. No specific factors were associated with nonadherence. Patients on IMT for IED had steady adherence rates up to 1 year, with decreased adherence at 2 years. Adherence to IMT significantly correlates with disease quiescence.

description: The problem of maintaining gauge invariance in the 2PI formulation of QED is discussed. A modified form of the 2PI effective action is suggested in which Ward identities for external (background field) and internal (quantum field) gauge transformations are both satisfied, but in different manners. The residual gauge-fixing dependence in this modified 2PI formulation vanishes in a certain low momentum limit, which allows it to be used reliably for calculating quantities such as transport coeffcients and soft field relaxation in hot gauge theories.

description: Pole trajectories connecting light and heavy scalar mesons, both broad resonances and quasi-bound states, are computed employing a simple coupled-channel model. Instead of varying the coupling constant as in previous work, quark and meson masses are continuously changed, so as to have one scalar meson evolve smoothly into another with different flavor(s). In particular, it is shown, among several other cases, how the still controversial K0*(800) turns into the established chi_c0, via the disputed D_s(2317). Moreover, a chi'_c0(3946) is predicted, which may correspond to the recently observed Y(3943) resonance. These results lend further support to our unified dynamical picture of all scalar mesons, as unitarized q-qbar states with important two-meson components.

description: Alice and Bob each have half of a pair of entangled qubits. Bob measures his half and then passes his qubit to a second Bob who measures again and so on. The goal is to maximize the number of Bobs that can have an expected violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) Bell inequality with the single Alice. This scenario was introduced in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 250401 (2015)] where the authors mentioned evidence that when the Bobs act independently and with unbiased inputs then at most two of them can expect to violate the CHSH inequality with Alice. Here we show that, contrary to this evidence, arbitrarily many independent Bobs can have an expected CHSH violation with the single Alice. Our proof is constructive and our measurement strategies can be generalized to work with a larger class of two-qubit states that includes all pure entangled two-qubit states. Since violation of a Bell inequality is necessary for device-independent tasks, our work represents a step towards an eventual understanding of the limitations on how much device-independent randomness can be robustly generated from a single pair of qubits.

Magneto-gravity wave packet dynamics in strongly magnetised cores of evolved stars

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Magnetic fields are believed to be generated in the cores of massive main sequence stars, and these may survive on to later stages of evolution. Observations of depressed dipole modes in red giant stars have been touted as evidence for these fields, but the predictions of existing magnetic theories have difficulty accommodating several aspects, including the need to return a fraction of wave energy from the core to the envelope, and the persistent gravity-like character of affected modes. In this work we perform a Hamiltonian ray tracing study investigating the dynamics of magneto-gravity waves in full spherical geometry, using realistic stellar models and magnetic field configurations. This technique applies in the limit where wavelengths are much shorter than scales of background variation. We conduct a comprehensive exploration of parameter space, examining the roles of wave frequency, spherical harmonic degree, wavevector polarisation, incoming latitude, field strength, field radius, and evolutionary state. We demonstrate that even in the presence of a strong field, there exist trajectories where waves remain predominantly gravity-like in character, and these are able to undergo reflection out of the core much like pure gravity waves. The remaining trajectories are ones where waves acquire significant Alfven character, becoming trapped and eventually dissipated. Orientation effects, i.e. wavevector polarisation and incoming latitude, are found to be crucial factors in determining the outcome (trapped versus reflected) of individual wave packets. The allowance for partial energy return from the core offers a solution to the conundrum faced by the magnetic hypothesis.

Monotone Lévy processes turn out to be related to classical Lévy processes via Attal's ``remarkable transformation.'' A monotone analogue of the family of exponential martingales associated to a classical Lévy process is also defined.

description: The Sun shows a $\sim 10$% depletion in refractory elements relative to nearby solar twins. It has been suggested that this depletion is a signpost of planet formation. The exoplanet statistics are now good enough to show that the origin of this depletion does not arise from the sequestration of refractory material inside the planets themselves. This conclusion arises because most sun-like stars host close-in planetary systems that are on average more massive than the Sun's. Using evolutionary models for the protoplanetary discs that surrounded the young Sun and solar twins we demonstrate that the origin of the depletion likely arises due to the trapping of dust exterior to the orbit of a forming giant planet. In this scenario a forming giant planet opens a gap in the gas disc, creating a pressure trap. If the planet forms early enough, while the disc is still massive, the planet can trap $\gtrsim 100 $M$_\oplus$ of dust exterior to its orbit, preventing the dust from accreting onto the star in contrast to the gas. Forming giant planets can create refractory depletions of $\sim 5-15$%, with the larger values occurring for initial conditions that favour giant planet formation (e.g. more massive discs, that live longer). The incidence of solar-twins that show refractory depletion matches both the occurrence of giant planets discovered in exoplanet surveys and "transition" discs that show similar depletion patterns in the material that is accreting onto the star.

description: We consider the long-term dynamics of nonlinear dispersive waves in a finite periodic domain. The purpose of the work is to show that the statistical properties of the wave field rely critically on the structure of the discrete resonant manifold (DRM). To demonstrate this, we simulate the two-dimensional MMT equation on rational and irrational tori, resulting in remarkably different power-law spectra and energy cascades at low nonlinearity levels. The difference is explained in terms of different structures of the DRM, which makes use of recent number theory results.

description: Frosted branch angiitis (FBA) is a rare form of retinal vasculitis. Four case series and an extensive literature review of 236 cases were conducted to clarify the characteristics of this rare condition. Case series and literature review. An analysis of the reported cases revealed that a majority (54.6%) developed FBA in the presence of an underlying disease, with recurrence and complications requiring surgical intervention being rare. The frequency of bilateral occurrence (55.0%) and prevalence in female patients (45.0%) were noted to be lower than previously reported. In general, idiopathic FBAs are more likely to be bilateral and diagnosed at a younger age than secondary FBAs. In idiopathic FBA, fundus involvement is more generalized, exudates tend to be more translucent, and extensive retinal hemorrhage tends to be less frequent. However, there were no differential characteristic fundus features that clearly distinguished idiopathic FBA from secondary FBA.

Further the control over the system reveals a high, net, 2-photon interference fringe visibility, V = 0.919 $\pm$ 0.026. This has all been done at telecom wavelengths thus facilitating the advancement towards long distance higher dimensional quantum communication.

USING HIGH-RESOLUTION SATELLITE DATA AND PHENOCAMS TO TRACK SPECIES AND SITE-DEPENDENT VARIABILITY IN URBAN VEGETATION PHENOLOGY

description: Vegetation phenology is an important characteristic of plant ecology. However, there is an absence of research on urban phenology at the individual species and spatial level. This research used high spatial and temporal resolution satellite data and phenological cameras to map urban tree phenology to determine the role of species and site characteristics within the single year and interannually. This study found that species have a role in determining phenological variability, with different tolerance to the temperature changes during the Start of Season, Summer Shoulder, and overall green-up period. Site factors, such as canopy and impervious surface coverage, was not statistically significant for influencing the timing of phenometrics. This may be due to influences that cause variability in phenological signal and should continue to be studied. These findings provide novel data on the plasticity of urban trees and layout of urban phenology monitoring using phenocams.

description: Due to their close proximity, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (SMC/LMC) provide natural laboratories for understanding how galaxies form and evolve. With the goal of determining the structure and dynamical state of the SMC, we present new spectroscopic data for $\sim$ 3000 SMC red giant branch stars observed using the AAOmega spectrograph at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. We complement our data with further spectroscopic measurements from previous studies that used the same instrumental configuration and proper motions from the \textit{Gaia} Data Release 2 catalogue. Analysing the photometric and stellar kinematic data, we find that the SMC centre of mass presents a conspicuous offset from the velocity centre of its associated $\mbox{H\,{\sc i}}$ gas, suggesting that the SMC gas is likely to be far from dynamical equilibrium. Furthermore, we find evidence that the SMC is currently undergoing tidal disruption by the LMC within 2\,kpc of the centre of the SMC, and possibly all the way in to the very core. This is evidenced by a net outward motion of stars from the SMC centre along the direction towards the LMC and apparent tangential anisotropy at all radii. The latter is expected if the SMC is undergoing significiant tidal stripping, as we demonstrate using a suite of $N$-body simulations of the SMC/LMC system disrupting around the Milky Way. These results suggest that dynamical models for the SMC that assume a steady state will need to be revisited.

description: We propose a new method, named isolation Mondrian forest (iMondrian forest), for batch and online anomaly detection. The proposed method is a novel hybrid of isolation forest and Mondrian forest which are existing methods for batch anomaly detection and online random forest, respectively. iMondrian forest takes the idea of isolation, using the depth of a node in a tree, and implements it in the Mondrian forest structure. The result is a new data structure which can accept streaming data in an online manner while being used for anomaly detection. Our experiments show that iMondrian forest mostly performs better than isolation forest in batch settings and has better or comparable performance against other batch and online anomaly detection methods.

The Semiclassical Regime of the Chaotic Quantum-Classical Transition

description: An analysis of the semiclassical regime of the quantum-classical transition is given for open, bounded, one dimensional chaotic dynamical systems. Environmental fluctuations -- characteristic of all realistic dynamical systems -- suppress the development of fine structure in classical phase space and damp nonlocal contributions to the semiclassical Wigner function which would otherwise invalidate the approximation. This dual regularization of the singular nature of the semiclassical limit is demonstrated by a numerical investigation of the chaotic Duffing oscillator.

description: Този наръчник е съставен въз основа на събраните данни в рамките на проекта RELEASE, особено предвид опита на практикуващи юристи, споделен по време на събитията, организирани от проекта. Разнообразието на участниците (съдии, прокурори и адвокати), направи възможно събирането и обобщаването на мултидисциплинарен подход за установяване на добри практики и празноти в законодателството. Следователно, наръчникът се основава на различни гледни точки, което следва да помогне за по-добро разбиране на това как могат да се прилагат алтернативни мерки на задържането под стража в досъдебното производство на национално ниво и да улесни взаимното разбирателство и сътрудничество между различните професионалисти – с общата цел „задържане под стража“ да се прилага единствено като крайна мярка за неотклонение.

THE HISTORICAL ROOTS OF INDIA’S SERVICE-LED DEVELOPMENT: A SECTORAL ANALYSIS OF ANGLO-INDIAN PRODUCTIVITY DIFFERENCES, 1870-2000

description: Overall labour productivity in India was already only around 15 per cent of the UK level between the early 1870s and the late 1920s. Between 1929 and 1950 India fell further behind and remained at around 10 per cent of the UK level until the 1970s. India has been catching-up since the 1970s, but by the end of the twentieth century was still further behind than in the late nineteenth century. Agriculture has played an important role in India’s relative decline to 1950 and subsequent delay in catching up, since comparative India/UK labour productivity in this sector has declined continuously and agriculture still accounts for around two-thirds of employment in India. Comparative India/UK labour productivity in industry has fluctuated around a level of around 15 per cent. The only sector to exhibit trend improvement in comparative India/UK labour productivity over the long run is services, rising from around 15 per cent to around 30%. India’s recent emergence as a dynamic service-led economy appears to have long historical roots.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE THEORY OF VERY LONG RUN GROWTH: A HISTORICAL APPRAISAL

description: This paper offers a historical appraisal of recent developments in the theory of very long run growth, focusing on three main areas: (1) linkages between wages, population and human capital (2) interactions between institutions, markets and technology and (3) sustaining the process of economic growth once it has started. Historians as well as economists have recently begun to break away from the traditional practice of using different methods to analyse the world before and after the industrial revolution. However, tensions remain between the theoretical and historical literatures, particularly over the unit of analysis (the world or particular countries) and the role of historical contingency.

description: We study the $ν_μ$ disappearance channel at T2K-phase I and the SPL and analyse the achievable reduction of present uncertainties in $θ_{23}$ and $Δm^2_{23}$. We analyse the impact of discrete ambiguities in sign($Δm^2{23}$) and sign($2 \tan θ_{23}$). We show how the disappearance channel at the Neutrino Factory is complementary to the ``golden'' and ``silver'' appearance channels and can be used to reduce the eightfold-ambiguity problem in ($θ_{13}-δ$).
