description: Wright recounts his family history, as well as his father’s Depression-era and wartime employment history. He discusses his graduate training at Columbia (1950-1954/1956), including his 1951 master’s thesis (a content analysis of magazine advertisements) and his 1954 doctoral dissertation project (a study of professional socialization in graduate student research training). The session includes more recollections of Columbia sociology figures, including Paul F. Lazarsfeld, Morris Rosenberg, Robert K. Merton, and Herbert H. Hyman. Wright describes his experience teaching, as a graduate student, in Columbia’s Contemporary Civilization course, as well as a variety of undergraduate sociology courses (1952-1956). Wright’s early years in UCLA’s Sociology and Anthropology Department are covered, including his work on what became the 1959 book Mass Communication: A Sociological Perspective. That book’s relationship to sociology, psychology, and Mertonian functionalism is discussed. Wright returns to the theme of his collaborations with Hyman, including a pair of re-analyses of survey data on Americans’ participation in voluntary associations (1958 and 1971). Wright’s early 1960s work on public leadership, and on access to commercial survey research, was also covered. The impact of Wright’s 1963 visiting professorship in Santiago, Chile, sponsored by the Organization of American States, is recounted with a focus on his subsequent teaching style.

description: This is a study undertaken on behalf of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). There are two main objectives of the Freight Movement and Intermodal Access in Kentucky Study (SPR 98-189): evaluation of the access for trucks between intermodal or other truck generating sites and the National Highway System (NHS); and furthering the understanding of freight commodity flows throughout the state. This report summarizes the access evaluation for Kenmor Stone and Ruth Brothers Quarry located in Carter county in the FIVCO Area Development District (ADD) and KYTC Highway District #9. The location of the sites is shown in Figure 1. Work on other specific sites as well as the freight commodity flow task are on-going and are documented elsewhere.
Active Learning and Crowdsourcing for Machine Translation in Low Resource Scenarios

description: Corpus based approaches to automatic translation such as Example Based and Statistical Machine Translation systems use large amounts of parallel data created by humans to train mathematical models for automatic language translation. Large scale parallel data generation for new language pairs requires intensive human effort and availability of fluent bilinguals or expert translators. Therefore it becomes immensely difficult and expensive to provide state-of-the art Machine Translation (MT) systems for rare languages. In this thesis, we explore active learning to reduce costs and make best use of human resources for building low-resource MT systems. Active learning approaches help us identify sentences, which if translated have the potential to provide maximal improvement to an existing system. We then apply active learning to other relevant tasks in MT such as word alignment, classifying monolingual text by topic, extracting comparable corpora from the web. In all these tasks we reduce annotated data required by the underlying supervised learning models. We also extend the traditional active learning approach of optimizing selection for a single annotation to handle cases of multiple-type annotations and show further reduction of costs in building low-resource MT systems. Finally, as part of this thesis, we have implemented a new framework- Active Crowd Translation (ACT), a cost sensitive active learning setup for building MT systems for low-resource language pairs. Our framework will provide a suitable platform for involving disparately spread out human translators around the world, in a timely and sparingly fashion for rapid building of translation systems. Wefirst explore the ACT paradigm with expert translators and then generalize to full-scale crowdsourcing with non-expert bilingual speakers. In case of Machine Translation, although crowdsourcing services like Amazon’s Mechanical Turk have opened doors to tap human potential, they do not guarantee translation expertise nor extended availability of translators. We address several challenges in eliciting quality translations from an unvetted crowd of bilingual speakers.

description: The reference to the term “second baptism” as signifying the Great and Angelic Schema, as a well documented fact within the monastic tradition of the church. The use of this term transcends simple symbolism or metaphor. Rather it is related to the ritual celebration and symbolism character as well as to the essential definition of baptism. According to the related texts, this “second baptism” is mainly identified with the sacrament of repentance. Repentance is the sacred sacrament of renewal of baptism for all “lapsi”, who have fallen from baptismal grace on accout of sin. Moreover, it is understood as the baptism of tears. The entire canon and the office of the Great and Angelic Schema refer to this theme. It also prefaces to the person coming forward to the monastic profection of the angelic schema that at that very hour he or she is baptized anew and receives the former life of adoption and redemption.

description: This is a study undertaken on behalf of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). There are two main objectives of the Freight Movement and Intermodal Access in Kentucky Study (SPR 98-189): evaluation of the access for trucks between intermodal or other truck generating sites and the National Highway System (NHS); and furthering the understanding of freight commodity flows throughout the state. This report summarizes the access evaluation for a cluster of facilities located along Campground Road in Louisville in the KIPDA Area Development District (ADD) and KYTC Highway District #5. The location of the site is shown in Figure 1. Work on other specific sites as well as the freight commodity flow task are on-going and are documented elsewhere.  The sites to be evaluated in this study were selected from two existing databases (a truck facility survey from 1994 and the intermodal facility inventory) based on ADD and KYTC Highway District planner recommendations, geographic location, distance to the NHS, and the number of trucks accessing the site. Consideration was also made for the freight type handled and transportation modes used.  The site was visited for video recording and data collection as listed in Appendix A. The following facilities are located in the area: CITGO Petroleum, Marathon Petroleum, Borden Chemical Division, American Synthetic Rubber Corporation, Rohm & Hass, Clean Harbor, R&L Carriers and Dupont. The Clean Harbor facility is on Kramers Lane, and the others are located along Campground Road as shown in Figure 1. All facilities are less than three miles from Interstate 264, which is part of the National Highway System. The surrounding area is generally urban/suburban with a variety of land uses.  A phone survey was conducted with facility managers early in the study process. The surveys were conducted only with industries in the pre-existing intermodal or truck databases or the major industries observed during the sites visits. While the overall response from industries was very good, in some cases facility managers could not be contacted or did not want to assist with the survey. In order to stay within the resources available for the project not all smaller facilities with lower truck volumes could be contacted. The surveys for this site were conducted with CITGO Petroleum and Marathon Petroleum. The number of trucks per day at specific sites varies from 25 to 200. The most common trucks indicted were 9,000 gallon tankers. Problems indicated along the route include potholes and inadequate turning radius from Kramers Lane onto Campground Road. The phone survey information can be found in Appendix B.
'Most' vs. 'the most' in languages where 'the more' means 'most'

description: This paper focuses on languages in which a superlative interpretation is typically
 indicated merely by a combination of a definiteness marker with a comparative
 marker, including French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, and Greek (def+cmp languages). Despite ostensibly using definiteness markers to form the superlative, superlatives are not always definite-marked in these languages, and the distribution
 of definiteness-marking varies across languages. Constituency structure appears to
 vary across languages as well. To account for these patterns of variation, we identify conflicting pressures that all of the languages in consideration may be subject
 to, and suggest that different languages prioritize differently in the resolution of
 these conflicts. What these languages have in common, we suggest, is a mechanism of Definite Null Instantiation for the degree-type standard argument of the
 comparative. Among the parameters along which languages are proposed to differ
 is the relative importance of marking uniqueness vs. avoiding determiners with
 predicates of entities that are not individuals.

description: Let D be a smooth relatively compact and strictly J-pseudoconvex domain in a four dimensional almost complex manifold (M,J). We give sharp estimates of the Kobayashi metric. Our approach is based on an asymptotic quantitative description of both the domain D and the almost complex structure J near a boundary point. Following Z.M.Balogh and M.Bonk, these sharp estimates provide the Gromov hyperbolicity of the domain D.

description: Our goal is to demonstrate the potential of the interferometric AMBER instrument linked with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) fringe-tracking facility FINITO to derive high-precision stellar diameters. We use commissioning data obtained on the bright single star V3879 Sgr. Locking the interferometric fringes with FINITO allows us to record very low contrast fringes on the AMBER camera. By fitting the amplitude of these fringes, we measure the diameter of the target in three directions simultaneously with an accuracy of 25 micro-arcseconds. We showed that V3879 Sgr has a round photosphere down to a sub-percent level. We quickly reached this level of accuracy because the technique used is independent from absolute calibration (at least for baselines that fully span the visibility null). We briefly discuss the potential biases found at this level of precision. The proposed AMBER+FINITO instrumental setup opens several perspectives for the VLTI in the field of stellar astrophysics, like measuring with high accuracy the oblateness of fast rotating stars or detecting atmospheric starspots.

description: An all-diamond photonic circuit was implemented by integrating a diamond microsphere with a femtosecond-laser-written bulk diamond waveguide. The near surface waveguide was fabricated by exploiting the Type II fabrication method to achieve stress-induced waveguiding. Transverse electrically and transverse magnetically polarized light from a tunable laser operating in the near-infrared region was injected into the diamond waveguide, which when coupled to the diamond microsphere showed whispering-gallery modes with a spacing of 0.33 nm and high-quality factors of 105. By carefully engineering these high-quality factor resonances, and further exploiting the properties of existing nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond microspheres and diamond waveguides in such configurations, it should be possible to realize filtering, sensing and nonlinear optical applications in integrated diamond photonics.
Charting the territory of cross-gender friendship : conceptions of friendship and the selection of friends
Creators: name: McDougall, Patricia Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: To date, cross-gender friendships in childhood and adolescence have been virtually ignored in the peer relationships literature. The purpose of the present investigation was to chart the territory of cross-gender friendship by examining the domains of friendship conceptions and the selection of friends. Accordingly, 176 students (91 girls, 85 boys) in grades 3, 6, 9, and 12 participated in individual sessions and were asked to describe their beliefs about, and expectations for, both same- and cross-gender friendship. In addition, students participated in a hypothetical decision-making task using a series of information boards on which they were asked to search for, and select, a same- and cross-gender friend. Findings revealed that beliefs and expectations for both same- and cross-gender friendships were observed to follow a common developmental sequence with little evidence that cross-gender friendships lag behind. Although the pattern of gender differences in conceptions of cross-gender friendship was consistent with previous research, the results of this study suggest that for several features of friendship, participants made distinctions on the basis of what is expected in friendships involving girls versus boys. The differential emphasis placed on various expectations in friendship provides support for the notion that same- and cross-gender friendships may represent different types of personal relationships. As compared to conceptions of friendship, observations in the friendship selection task revealed that students engaged in similar predecisional searching regardless of the gender of the target friend. Findings suggest that the process of same- and crossgender friendship selection was somewhat different at different grade levels but did not vary markedly for boys and girls. Indeed, boys and girls at all ages were observed to select same- and cross-gender friends who were highly similar to themselves. The present discussion concludes with a description of the cross-gender friendship experiences of children and adolescents in this sample including consideration of the potential challenges and benefits associated with having a friend of the other gender.

description: Recent advances in deep learning techniques have enabled machines to generate cohesive open-ended text when prompted with a sequence of words as context. While these models now empower many downstream applications from conversation bots to automatic storytelling, they have been shown to generate texts that exhibit social biases. To systematically study and benchmark social biases in open-ended language generation, we introduce the Bias in Open-Ended Language Generation Dataset (BOLD), a large-scale dataset that consists of 23,679 English text generation prompts for bias benchmarking across five domains: profession, gender, race, religion, and political ideology. We also propose new automated metrics for toxicity, psycholinguistic norms, and text gender polarity to measure social biases in open-ended text generation from multiple angles. An examination of text generated from three popular language models reveals that the majority of these models exhibit a larger social bias than human-written Wikipedia text across all domains. With these results we highlight the need to benchmark biases in open-ended language generation and caution users of language generation models on downstream tasks to be cognizant of these embedded prejudices.

description: Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit, which favored in many countries because of its rich nutrition and medicinal value. In Vietnam, dragon fruit is a fruit with a high percentage of exports, and they have been evaluated and sorted according to the standard of importing countries. The workshops for evaluating and sorting dragon fruit are based on human workers, they use the hands to rotate the fruit to determine the area of defective areas qualitatively and use basic scales to weigh dragon fruits that cause errors of grading. Therefore, this study proposes an automatic dragon fruit sorting system to replace humans in sorting to reduce costs and increase accuracy for grading. The automatic sorting system has a yield of approximately 3 tons/h for a module, the results have the system's experiments of much more than 96%. Dataset is collected from dragon fruit farms, packaging facilities. The image of the actual system is represented in the 'system.rar' file.

Установлено, что повышение концентрации NaCl при обработке растений увеличивало уровень экспрессии генов, контролирующих белки семейства NHX-антипортеров. У иностранных гибридов Хамбер и Портланд также отмечена повышенная экспрессия транскриптов генов BvNHX1 и BvNHX5. К устойчивым генотипам относятся и отечественные образцы МС17070 и Оп18094. Отечественные селекционные материалы сохраняли относительно высокий уровень экспрессии гена APX1 и при стрессе, вызванном критической концентрацией NaCl (210мМ) по сравнению с зарубежными гибридами Хамбер и Портланд.

description: This paper discusses relativistic corrections to the thermal Coulomb potential for simple atomic systems. The theoretical description of the revealed thermal corrections is carried out within the framework of relativistic quantum electrodymamics (QED). As a result, thermal corrections to the fine and hyperfine strucutres of atomic levels are introduced. The theory presented in this paper is based on the assumption that the atom is placed in a thermal environment created by the blackbody radiation (BBR). The numerical results allow us to expect hteir significance for modern experiments and testing the fundamental interactions.

description: This paper presents an analytical formulation for correcting the diffraction associated to the second harmonic of an acoustic wave, more compact than that usually used. This new formulation, resulting from an approximation of the correction applied to fundamental, makes it possible to obtain simple solutions for the second harmonic of the average acoustic pressure, but sufficiently precise for measuring the parameter of nonlinearity B/A in a finite amplitude method. Comparison with other expressions requiring numerical integration, show the solutions are precise in the nearfield.

description: Terrestrial exoplanets orbiting within or near their host stars' habitable zone are potentially apt for life. It has been proposed that time-series measurements of reflected starlight from such planets will reveal their rotational period, main surface features and some atmospheric information. From imagery obtained with the Akatsuki spacecraft, here we show that Venus' brightness at 283, 365, and 2020 nm is modulated by one or both of two periods of 3.7 and 4.6 days, and typical amplitudes <10% but occasional events of 20-40%. The modulations are unrelated to the solid-body rotation; they are caused by planetary-scale waves superimposed on the super-rotating winds. Here we propose that two modulation periods whose ratio of large-to-small values is not an integer number imply the existence of an atmosphere if detected at an exoplanet, but it remains ambiguous whether the atmosphere is optically thin or thick, as for Earth or Venus respectively. Multi-wavelength and long temporal baseline observations may be required to decide between these scenarios. Ultimately, Venus represents a false positive for interpretations of brightness modulations of terrestrial exoplanets in terms of surface features.

description: Изложен краткий обзор состояния исследований по селекции новых константных линий – доноров устойчивости к глифосату и перспектив создания биотехнологических гибридов сахарной свёклы. Получены экспериментальные данные о характере наследования устойчивости к глифосату у разных генотипов свёклы (mmSxxzz, mmNxxzz, MM и др.). Получены впервые раздельнои сростноплодные линии-доноры с устойчивостью к глифосату 90–100 %. В конкурсном и экологическом испытаниях толерантный к глифосату биотехнологический гибрид сахарной свёклы ТГ-944(1385) статистически достоверно превысил стандарт по урожайности и сбору сахара с 1 га. При механизированной (комбайновой) уборке средняя зачётная урожайность гибрида составила 65,5 т/га. Затраты на приобретение гербицидов для защиты сахарной свёклы от сорных растений при выращивании устойчивых к глифосату гибридов, по сравнению с обычными коммерческими гибридами, в расчёте на 1 га в среднем за 2017–2019 гг. составили соответственно 2447 и 8869 р. Завершается разработка технологии выращивания гибридов толерантных к глифосату в производственных условиях. Для продолжения исследований выращены семена и корнеплоды в достаточных объёмах.

Ξενοφοβία και ρατσισμός είναι φαινόμενα τα οποία επανέρχονται αν και διαφοροποιημένα στο προσκήνιο νεορατσιστικών και εθνικιστικών ιδεολογιών με την επίκληση πλέον όχι οπωσδήποτε της «φυλής» αλλά του ισχυρού ή ανίσχυρου «γονιδίου». Στην εργασία αυτή διερευνάται η κριτική προσέγγιση του θέματος στο έργο του Πανεπιστημιακού και συγγραφέα Γιώργου Τσιάκαλου.
description: Due to vast development of biology and it´s related sciences a „new“ biologism arrose which presents itself as a method explaining social phenomena such as discrimination and xenophobia. This not only appears in scientific environment but also in politics and society.Xenophobia and rassism are phenomena which reappear, although altered in neorassistic and nationalistic ideologies that no longer refer to „Race“ but to a „strong or weak gene“.This present analysis looks into the critical approach of the work of the author and professor Georgios Tsiakalos.
description: Mit der rasanten Entwicklung der Biologie und ihren verwandten Wissenschaften machte sich erneut ein „neuer“ Biologismus bemerkbar, der sich als Annäherungs- und Erklärungsmethode sozialer Phänomene wie jener der Diskriminierung und der Xenophobie präsentiert. Der aber beschränkt sich nicht nur im wissenschaftlichen Bereich, sondern erscheint auch in Politik und Gesellschaft.Xenophobie und Rassismus sind Phänomene die im Vordergrund der neorassistischen und nationalistischen Ideologien wiederkehren, wenn auch in differenzierter Form, allerdings nicht mehr unter Berufung der „Rasse“ wohl aber des starken bzw. schwachen „Gens“. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die kritische Herangehensweise der Fragestellung im Werk des Professors und Schriftstellers Georgios Tsiakalos untersucht.

description: In this paper, we apply the multi-tracer technique to harmonic-space (i.e.\ angular) power spectra with a likelihood-based approach. This goes beyond the usual Fisher matrix formalism hitherto implemented in forecasts with angular statistics, opening up a window for future developments and direct application to available data sets. We also release a fully-operational modified version of the publicly available code CosmoSIS, where we consistently include all the add-ons presented in the previous papers of this series. The result is a modular cosmological parameter estimation suite for angular power spectra of galaxy number counts, allowing for single and multiple tracers, and including density fluctuations, redshift-space distortions, and weak lensing magnification. We demonstrate the improvement on parameter constraints enabled by the use of multiple tracers on a multi-tracing analysis of luminous red galaxies and emission line galaxies. We obtain an enhancement of $44\%$ on the $2σ$ upper bound on the sum of neutrino masses. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/ktanidis/Modified_CosmoSIS_for_galaxy_number_count_angular_power_spectra.

Wright describes his undergraduate education at Columbia University (1946-1950), including the special importance of the sociologist William Casey. Wright’s graduate experience at Columbia as a sociology doctoral student (1950-1954/1956), including his administrative assistantships for Paul F. Lazarsfeld and Robert K. Merton in the early 1950s, is recounted. Wright discusses his encounter and early collaborations with the social psychologist Herbert H. Hyman at Columbia in this same period. Wright describes the grant-funded project on the Encampment for Citizenship summer camp evaluation research in collaboration with Hyman, conducted in the early 1960s. Other topics include communication as a social process distinct from psychology, the publication history of Mass Communication: A Sociological Perspective (1959), the place of communication in sociology and in journalism schools, the history of sociology at Columbia, efforts to establish quantitative research in journalism and in sociology at UCLA in the late 1950s and 1960s, his writing style, and his graduate teaching philosophy.
Understanding selection effects in observed samples of cataclysmic variables

description: Large differences between the properties of the known sample of cataclysmic variable stars (CVs) and the predictions of the theory of binary star evolution have long been recognised. However, because all existing CV samples suffer from strong selection effects, observational bias must be considered before it is possible to tell whether there is an inconsistency, which would imply a failure of the evolutionary model. We have modelled common selection effects and illustrate their influence on observed CV samples.

Super-Eddington accretion in the Q2237+0305 quasar?

description: The interband time lags between the flux variations of the Q2237+0305 quasar have been determined from light curves in the Johnson-Cousins V, R, and I spectral bands. The values of the time lags for filter pairs R-V, I-R, and I-V are significantly higher than those predicted by the standard accretion disk model by Shakura and Sunyaev. To explain the discrepancy, the idea of a supercritical accretion regime in quasars considered in 1973 by Shakura and Sunyaev is applied. This regime has been shown by them to cause an extended scattering envelope around the accretion disk. The envelope efficiently scatters and re-emits the radiation from the accretion disk and thus increases the apparent disk size. We made use of analytical expressions for the envelope radius and temperature derived by Shakura and Sunyaev in their analysis of super-Eddington accretion and show that our results are consistent with the existence of such an envelope. The corresponding parameters of the accretion regime were calculated. They provide the radii of the envelope in the V, R, and I spectral bands consistent with the inter-band time lags determined in our work.

MiniV2G: An Electric Vehicle Charging Emulator

description: The impact of global warming and the imperative to limit climate change have stimulated the need to develop new solutions based on renewable energy sources. One of the emerging trends in this endeavor are the Electric Vehicles (EVs), which use electricity instead of traditional fossil fuels as a power source, relying on the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) paradigm. The novelty of such a paradigm requires careful analysis to avoid malicious attempts. An attacker can exploit several surfaces, such as the remote connection between the Distribution Grid and Charging Supply or the authentication system between the charging Supply Equipment and the Electric Vehicles. However, V2G architecture's high cost and complexity in implementation can restrain this field's research capability. In this paper, we approach this limitation by proposing MiniV2G, an open-source emulator to simulate Electric Vehicle Charging (EVC) built on top of Mininet and RiseV2G. MiniV2G is particularly suitable for security researchers to study and test real V2G charging scenarios. MiniV2G can reproduce with high fidelity a V2G architecture to easily simulate an EV charging process. Finally, we present a MiniV2G application and show how MiniV2G can be used to study V2G communication and develop attacks and countermeasures that can be applied to real systems. Since we believe our tool can be of great help for research in this field, we also made it freely available.
Definiteness, partitivity, and domain restriction: A fresh look at definite reduplication
Creators: name: Etxeberria, Urtzi
name: Giannakidou, Anastasia
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: We propose that the phenomenon of definite reduplication in Greek involves using
 the definite determiner D as domain restrictor in the sense of Etxeberria & Giannakidou (2009). The use of D as a domain-restricting function with quantifiers has
 been well documented for European languages such as Greek, Basque, Bulgarian
 and Hungarian – and typically results in a partitive-like interpretation of the QP.
 We propose a unifying analysis that treats domain restriction and D-reduplication
 as the same phenomenon; and in our analysis, D-reduplication emerges semanti-
 cally as similar to a partitive structure, a result resonating with earlier claims to
 this end by Kolliakou (2004). None of the existing accounts of definites can capture the correlations in the use of D with quantifiers and in reduplication that we
 establish here.
The Contribution of Quasar Absorption Outflows to AGN Feedback

description: Determining the distance of quasar absorption outflows from the central source (R) and their kinetic luminosity are crucial for understanding their contribution to active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. Here we summarize the results for a sample of nine luminous quasars that were observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. We find that the outflows in more than half of the objects are powerful enough to be the main agents for AGN feedback, and that most outflows are found at R>100 pc. The sample is representative of the quasar absorption outflow population as a whole and is unbiased towards specific ranges of R and kinetic luminosity. Therefore, the analysis results can be extended to the majority of such objects, including broad absorption line quasars. We find that these results are consistent with those of another sample (seven quasars) that is also unbiased towards specific ranges of R and kinetic luminosity. Assuming that all quasars have absorption outflows, we conclude that most luminous quasars produce outflows that can contribute significantly to AGN feedback. We also discuss the criterion for whether an outflow is energetic enough to cause AGN feedback effects.

Выявлено, что применение «Митрона» по вегетирующим и прорастающим сорнякам особенно эффективно в условиях оптимальной влаги в почве. Установлено, что динамика снижения фитотоксичности гербицидов для растений сахарной свёклы зависит от энергии роста гибрида в начале вегетации культуры. В вегетационные периоды 2019–2020 гг. гибриды сахарной свёклы по расчётному сбору сахара распределились в следующем порядке: Митика > РМС 127 > РМС120 = РМС 121.
Effects of impulsive harvesting and an evolving domain in a diffusive logistic model

description: In order to understand how the combination of domain evolution and impulsive harvesting affect the dynamics of a population, we propose a diffusive logistic population model with impulsive harvesting on a periodically evolving domain. Initially the ecological reproduction index of the impulsive problem is introduced and given by an explicit formula, which depends on the domain evolution rate and the impulsive function. Then the threshold dynamics of the population under monotone or nonmonotone impulsive harvesting is established based on this index. Finally numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate our theoretical results, and reveal that a large domain evolution rate can improve the population survival, no matter which impulsive harvesting takes place. Contrary, impulsive harvesting has a negative effect on the population survival, and can even lead to the extinction of the population.

Molecular cloud abundances and anomalous diffusion

description: The chemistry of molecular clouds has been studied for decades, with an increasingly general and sophisticated treatment of the reactions involved. Yet the treatment of turbulent diffusion has remained extremely sketchy, assuming simple Fickian diffusion with a scalar diffusivity D. However, turbulent flows similar to those in the interstellar medium are known to give rise to anomalous diffusion phenomena, more specifically superdiffusion (increase of the diffusivity with the spatial scales involved). This paper considers to what extent and in what sense superdiffusion modifies molecular abundances in interstellar clouds. For this first exploration of the subject we employ a very rough treatment of the chemistry and the effect of non-unifom cloud density on the diffusion equation is also treated in a simplified way. The results nevertheless clearly demonstrate that the effect of superdiffusion is quite significant, abundance values at a given radius being modified by order of unity factors. The sense and character of this influence is highly nontrivial.
