description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Cigarette smokers vulnerable to depression experience considerable difficulty quitting smoking, possibly because they use smoking to manage negative affect and possess underdeveloped alternative coping skills for doing so. Efforts to adapt cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) of depression to the treatment of depression-vulnerable smokers have achieved inconsistent results. This research tested one possible explanation for these mixed results, the possibility that depression-vulnerable smokers are not actually deficient in the skills taught in CBT. Regular smokers with a history of major depression, but not currently in a depressive episode (n = 66), scored worse than did never-depressed smokers (n = 68) on the Ways of Responding (WOR; Barber & DeRubeis, 1992) test of skills for coping with negative moods and automatic thoughts. Results were similar in analyses using self-rated depression proneness, rather than interview-based diagnosis of past major depression, as the marker of depression vulnerability. Results were (nonsignificantly) stronger for Caucasian (n = 54) than for African American (n = 73) smokers. Implications for future research on cognitive coping, CBT, and smoking are discussed.

description: The high rates of cigarette smoking among depressed persons may be partially explained by increased positive expectancies for cigarette smoking among this population. In view of theoretical and empirical work on depressed people’s negative views of the future, though, it would be expected that depressed smokers would hold particularly negative expectancies about the effects of cigarette smoking. The two current studies examined the relations between depression and smoking outcome expectancies in (a) a general population of adult regular smokers and (b) adult smokers seeking to quit smoking. Depressive symptoms and depression proneness both showed significant positive correlations with positive expectancies for cigarette smoking. Several positive correlations with negative expectancies also emerged. Thus, experiencing depressive symptoms may serve to amplify both favorable and unfavorable expectancies about the effects of smoking.

description: The repulsive interaction between two atoms at short distances is studied in order to explore the range of validity of standard first-principles simulation techniques and improve the available short-range potentials for the description of energetic collision cascades in solids. Pseudopotentials represent the weakest approximation, given their lack of explicit Pauli repulsion in the core-core interactions. The energy (distance) scale realistically accessible is studied by comparison with all-electron reference calculations in some binary systems. Reference calculations are performed with no approximations related to either core (frozen core, augmentation spheres) or basis set. This is important since the validity of such approximations, even in all-electron calculations, rely on the small core perturbation usual in low-energy studies. The expected importance of semicore states is quantified. We propose a scheme for improving the electronic screening given by pseudopotentials for very short distances. The results of this study are applied to the assessment and improvement of existing repulsive empirical potentials.

description: RISC-V is a RISC based open and loyalty free instruction set architecture which has been developed since 2010, and can be used for cost-effective soft processors on FPGAs. The basic 32-bit integer instruction set in RISC-V is defined as RV32I, which is sufficient to support the operating system environment and suits for embedded systems. In this paper, we propose an optimized RV32I soft processor named RVCoreP adopting five-stage pipelining. The processor applies three effective optimization methods to improve the operating frequency. These methods are instruction fetch unit optimization including pipelined branch prediction mechanism, ALU optimization, and data alignment and sign-extension optimization for data memory output. We implement RVCoreP in Verilog HDL and verify the behavior using Verilog simulation and an actual Xilinx Atrix-7 FPGA board. We evaluate IPC (instructions per cycle), operating frequency, hardware resource utilization, and processor performance. From the evaluation results, we show that RVCoreP achieves 30.0% performance improvement compared with VexRiscv, which is a high-performance and open source RV32I processor selected from some related works.

description: This article explores the genesis and implementation of a Caribbean (Jamaican) approach to improving corporate governance (CG) among public bodies. Public bodies (PB) are integral to the success of public management and administration vis-à-vis development and implementation of key policy objectives. There is the need for these state-controlled entities across the Caribbean to be accountable and fully compliant with several statutory requirements. In response to these challenges, the Government of Jamaica has sought to clarify the governance framework within which public bodies must operate by establishing a Corporate Governance Framework for Public Bodies of Jamaica. The article benefits from a mixed methodology of qualitative and quantitative streams of data collection and analysis. The key objectives in presenting these findings are to improve accountability and compliance and to achieve a more efficient and effective public service.

description: Patterns of measles infection in large urban populations have long been considered the paradigm of synchronized nonlinear dynamics. Indeed, recurrent epidemics appear approximately mass action despite underlying heterogeneity. However, using a subset of rich, newly digitized mortality data (1897–1906), we challenge that proposition. We find that sub-regions of London exhibited a mixture of simultaneous annual and biennial dynamics, while the aggregate city-level appears firmly annual. Using a simple stochastic epidemic model and maximum-likelihood inference methods, we show that we can capture this observed variation in periodicity. We identify agreement between theory and data, indicating that both changes in periodicity and epidemic coupling between regions can follow relatively simple rules, in particular we find local variation in seasonality drives periodicity. Our analysis underlines that multiple attractors can coexist in a strongly mixed population and follow theoretical predictions.

description: This article aims to assess recent developments in the Chinese merchandise import sector through retrospective analysis of the main imported products during the 2000-2015 period. The grouping of these trends helps to shed light on the different aspects of the country’s gradual shift towards stimulating private consumption. The findings suggest a focus on a narrower range of machinery products, emphasis on imports of vehicles and aircraft, along with the pursuit of cheaper and more environmentally friendly energy resources. The enhancement of private consumption is further manifest by significant upward trends in the food and beverage import sector.

description: The spat between the three United States carriers – American, Delta and United Airlines on the one hand and the carriers of the United Arab Emirates on the other — where the former accused the latter of unfair practices buffered by state aid and allegedly practiced under an open skies agreement between the United States and UAE - brought to bear a global inquiry on whether an open skies agreement which gave unlimited rights on market access could result in the erosion of the “ equality of opportunity” to compete embodied in the Chicago Convention. The U.S. carriers alleged that the UAE carriers received zero-interest loans from the UAE government with no arrangements for repayment; grants of land which could be regarded as subsidies; development of massive airports, built and paid for by the state, and very cheap rent facilities and landing charges; low labour rates because the home state bans unions; and low personal and corporate tax rates to promote the growth of business.2 The UAE carriers countered that they had not received subsidies and were not operating into and out of the United States with undercut pricing and therefore were within their rights under the agreement. The 2016 award of the Nobel Prize in economics to two economists for their Theory of Contracts highlights the significance of the theory in its application to open skies agreements, which this article analyses in some detail.

description: The purpose of the study was to determine the motivational strategies for increasing students' enrolment for capacity building in Technology Education in public Universities in Rivers State. Two research questions in line with the purpose of the study were formulated while two null hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance. The study adopted a survey research design. The population for the study was 100 Technology Education lecturers, comprising 90 male Technology Education lecturers and 10 female Technology Education lecturers from public Universities in Rivers State. There was no sampling as the population was of manageable size. A thirty-eight item statements questionnaire was designed to collect data for the study. Three experts validated the instrument. Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument yielded .92. The data collected for the research questions which guided the study were answered using mean and standard deviation, whereas the null hypotheses of the study were tested using t-test statistics. The results of the study show that the intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation related strategies are for increasing the enrolment of students for capacity building in Technology Education in public Universities in Rivers State. It was recommended that government and NGOs should give well packaged bursary awards or scholarships and automatic employment to students of Technology Education as it will attract more students into the programme.

description: The incidence of periprosthetic proximal femoral fractures is increasing with the increase in arthroplasty being performed as well as aging populations. We describe an open reduction and internal fixation and cement-in-cement technique utilizing a well-fixed cement mantle. The advantages of this allow for a shorter operative time, reduction in risk of iatrogenic femoral fractures, and reduction in blood loss. This was a retrospective study reviewing 20 patients that underwent this technique for periprosthetic fractures. Thirty percent (n = 6) of patients underwent subsequent surgery. We had a 95% (n = 19) union rate with 1 case refracturing through the old fracture. This technique can allow for shorter operative times and a lower physiological insult in reducible periprosthetic proximal femur fractures with a stable cement mantle.

description: The spectrum and variability of the Seyfert galaxy MCG-6-30-15 can be decomposed into two apparently disconnected components: a highly variable power law and an almost constant component which contains a broad and strong iron line. We explore a possible explanation of the puzzling lack of variability of the iron line, by assuming that the variations of the power law component are due to changes in the height of the primary source in the near vicinity of a rotating black hole. Due to the bending of light in the strong field of the central black hole, the apparent brightness of the power-law component can vary by about a factor 4 according to its position, while the total iron line flux variability is less than 20 percent. This behaviour is obtained if the primary source is located within 3-4 gravitational radii ($r_{\rm g}$) from the rotation axis with a variable height of between $\sim$ 3 and 8 $r_{\rm g}$. These results revive the possibility that future X-ray observations of MCG-6-30-15 can map out the strong gravity regime of accreting black holes.

Double barred galaxies at intermediate redshifts: A feasibility study

description: Despite the increasing number of studies of barred galaxies at intermediate and high redshifts, double-barred (S2B) systems have only been identified in the nearby (z<0.04) universe thus far. In this feasibility study we demonstrate that the detection and analysis of S2Bs is possible at intermediate redshifts (0.1 < z < 0.5) with the exquisite resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys (HST/ACS). We identify barred galaxies in the HST/ACS data of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) using a novel method. The radial profile of the Gini coefficient -- a model-independent structure parameter -- is able to detect bars in early-type galaxies that are large enough that they might host an inner bar of sufficient angular size. Using this method and subsequent examination with unsharp masks and ellipse fits we identified the two most distant S2Bs currently known (at redshifts z=0.103 and z=0.148). We investigate the underlying stellar populations of these two galaxies through a detailed colour analysis, in order to demonstrate the analysis that could be performed on a future sample of intermediate-redshift S2Bs. We also identify two S2Bs and five S2B candidates in the HST/ACS data of the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS). Our detections of distant S2Bs show that deep surveys like GOODS and COSMOS have the potential to push the limit for S2B detection and analysis out by a factor of ten in redshift and lookback time (z=0.5, t=5Gyr) compared to the previously known S2Bs. This in turn would provide new insight into the formation of these objects.

description: Many collaborative recommender systems leverage social correlation theories to improve suggestion performance. However, they focus on explicit relations between users and they leave out other types of information that can contribute to determine users' global reputation; e.g., public recognition of reviewers' quality. We are interested in understanding if and when these additional types of feedback improve Top-N recommendation. For this purpose, we propose a multi-faceted trust model to integrate local trust, represented by social links, with various types of global trust evidence provided by social networks. We aim at identifying general classes of data in order to make our model applicable to different case studies. Then, we test the model by applying it to a variant of User-to-User Collaborative filtering (U2UCF) which supports the fusion of rating similarity, local trust derived from social relations, and multi-faceted reputation for rating prediction. We test our model on two datasets: the Yelp one publishes generic friend relations between users but provides different types of trust feedback, including user profile endorsements. The LibraryThing dataset offers fewer types of feedback but it provides more selective friend relations aimed at content sharing. The results of our experiments show that, on the Yelp dataset, our model outperforms both U2UCF and state-of-the-art trust-based recommenders that only use rating similarity and social relations. Differently, in the LibraryThing dataset, the combination of social relations and rating similarity achieves the best results. The lesson we learn is that multi-faceted trust can be a valuable type of information for recommendation. However, before using it in an application domain, an analysis of the type and amount of available trust evidence has to be done to assess its real impact on recommendation performance.

description: Though the liberalisation of trade in goods is the central objective of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994), Article XX makes provisions on general exceptions to the legally binding trade liberalisation obligations. Of the ten paragraphs contained under Article XX that provide for various exceptions, the first paragraph – Article XX(a) – allows for derogation from the obligations under the GATT 1994 if the justification for this is based on a necessary protection of public morals. There are very few cases on the public morals exception. The U.S. – Gambling case was the first decided case where the public morals exception was the subject matter. However, this case was decided under the services regime in WTO law – i.e., the General Agreement on Trade in Services. The China – Publications and Audiovisual Products case offered the opportunity for a WTO dispute settlement panel and the Appellate Body to provide clarity on the public morals exception as it relates to trade in goods. This article explores the contours of the public morals exception under Article XX(a) of the GATT 1994 by engaging in analyses of the two decided cases where the issue of public morals was a key subject matter in the dispute. It also borrows from the jurisprudence on other exceptions under Article XX in a bid to map out the contours of the public morals exception.

description: The properties of ripplonic polarons in a multielectron bubble in liquid helium are investigated on the basis of a path-integral variational method. We find that the two-dimensional electron gas can form deep dimples in the helium surface, or ripplopolarons, to solidify as a Wigner crystal. We derive the experimental conditions of temperature, pressure and number of electrons in the bubble for this phase to be realized. This predicted state is distinct from the usual Wigner lattice of electrons, in that it melts by the dissociation of the ripplopolarons, when the electrons shed their localizing dimple as the pressure on the multielectron bubble drops below a critical value.

description: The sugarcane processing agroindustry is found to be the major propelling of the Brazilian agribusiness, stimulating the growth and development of regions on which factories were established and, the sector is stimulated. In this study, we aimed to analyze the impact of sugarcane sector in the employment generation in Dourados, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, seeking to contribute to the local economic development. Data obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, the Annual Relation of Social Information, the Association of Bioenergy Producers of Mato Grosso do Sul, as well as those from the Secretary of the State of Agrarian Development, Industry and Trade were used. The importance and distribution of employment generated by the sugarcane sector was identified from indicators showed by means of the indices of Relative Participation of Employment and Location Quotient. According to results, the sugarcane sector corresponds to 15.33% of all employments of the economically active population of Dourados and, is characterized as an advanced vector for the local growth, although this micro-region is less economically dependent on the sugarcane sector for its economic development.

description: Freed from phase-matching constraints, plasmonic metasurfaces have contributed significantly to the control of the optical nonlinearity and enhancing the nonlinear generation efficiency by engineering subwavelength meta-atoms. However, the high dissipative losses and the inevitable thermal heating limit their applicability in nonlinear nanophotonics. All-dielectric metasurfaces, supporting both electric and magnetic Mie-type resonances in their nanostructures, have appeared as a promising alternative to nonlinear plasmonics. High-index dielectric nanostructures, allowing additional magnetic resonances, can induce magnetic nonlinear effects, which along with electric nonlinearities increase the nonlinear conversion efficiency. In addition, low dissipative losses and high damage thresholds provide an extra degree of freedom for operating at high pump intensities, resulting in a considerable enhancement of the nonlinear processes. In this review, we discuss the current state-of-the-art in the intensely developing area of all-dielectric nonlinear nanostructures and metasurfaces, including the role of Mie modes, Fano resonances and anapole moments for harmonic generation, wave mixing, and ultrafast optical switching. Furthermore, we review the recent progress in the nonlinear phase and wavefront control using all-dielectric metasurfaces. We discuss techniques to realize all-dielectric metasurfaces for multifunctional applications and generation of second-order nonlinear processes from CMOS compatible materials.

description: We revise a previous result about the Fröhlich dynamics in the strong coupling limit obtained in [Gri17]. In the latter it was shown that the Fröhlich time evolution applied to the initial state $φ_0 \otimes ξ_α$, where $φ_0$ is the electron ground state of the Pekar energy functional and $ξ_α$ the associated coherent state of the phonons, can be approximated by a global phase for times small compared to $α^2$. In the present note we prove that a similar approximation holds for $t=O(α^2)$ if one includes a nontrivial effective dynamics for the phonons that is generated by an operator proportional to $α^{-2}$ and quadratic in creation and annihilation operators. Our result implies that the electron ground state remains close to its initial state for times of order $α^2$ while the phonon fluctuations around the coherent state $ξ_α$ can be described by a time-dependent Bogoliubov transformation.

description: The Arctic is warming at an unprecedented rate, with unknown consequences for endemic fauna. However, Earth has experienced severe climatic oscillations in the past, and understanding how species responded to them might provide insight into their resilience to near-future climatic predictions. Little is known about the responses of Arctic marine mammals to past climatic shifts, but narwhals (Monodon monoceros) are considered one of the endemic Arctic species most vulnerable to environmental change. Here, we analyse 121 complete mitochondrial genomes from narwhals sampled across their range and use them in combination with species distribution models to elucidate the influence of past and ongoing climatic shifts on their population structure and demographic history. We find low levels of genetic diversity and limited geographic structuring of genetic clades. We show that narwhals experienced a long-term low effective population size, which increased after the last glacial maximum, when the amount of suitable habitat expanded. Similar post-glacial habitat release has been a key driver of population size expansion of other Polar marine predators. Our analyses indicate that habitat availability has been critical to the success of narwhals, raising concerns for their fate in an increasingly warming Arctic.

description: The purpose of this study was to show that family agroindustries can generate newness in their productive processes, which is diversified and modifies the institutional environment in which it operates. The newness generates transition processes and / or incremental effect in the prevailing socio-technical food regime and hegemonic. Primary data was obtained by performing a semistructured interview, and secondary data were related to statistical agencies and other two research projects. The study was performed in seven agroindustries in the Médio Alto Uruguai, State of Rio Grande do Sul. The theoretical focus was the Perspective Focused on Actors, and the Multi-level and Co-evolutionary Perspective, which brings the notion of producing newness in the rural development. According to results, there are four main types of newness produced in the agroindustries, namely, the productive, technological, related to the market, and organizational newness. We also find that some of these types of newness have the capacity of generating transitions in the instituted socio-technical food regime and, others, just cause increment on their development trajectory and evolution.

description: The Arctic is warming at an unprecedented rate, with unknown consequences for endemic fauna. However, Earth has experienced severe climatic oscillations in the past, and understanding how species responded to them might provide insight into their resilience to near-future climatic predictions. Little is known about the responses of Arctic marine mammals to past climatic shifts, but narwhals (Monodon monoceros) are considered one of the endemic Arctic species most vulnerable to environmental change. Here, we analyse 121 complete mitochondrial genomes from narwhals sampled across their range and use them in combination with species distribution models to elucidate the influence of past and ongoing climatic shifts on their population structure and demographic history. We find low levels of genetic diversity and limited geographic structuring of genetic clades. We show that narwhals experienced a long-term low effective population size, which increased after the last glacial maximum, when the amount of suitable habitat expanded. Similar post-glacial habitat release has been a key driver of population size expansion of other Polar marine predators. Our analyses indicate that habitat availability has been critical to the success of narwhals, raising concerns for their fate in an increasingly warming Arctic.
Synchronization of Kuramoto Oscillators in Scale-Free Networks

description: In this work, we study the synchronization of coupled phase oscillators on the underlying topology of scale-free networks. In particular, we assume that each network's component is an oscillator and that each interacts with the others following the Kuramoto model. We then study the onset of global phase synchronization and fully characterize the system's dynamics. We also found that the resynchronization time of a perturbed node decays as a power law of its connectivity, providing a simple analytical explanation to this interesting behavior.

description: Food marketing costs rose 2.2 percent in 1992 to about $372 billion-the smallest increase in the last 20 years. This slight rise was the result of only small price increases for most inputs purchased by the food industry. Higher labor costs accounted for most of 1992's increase. Other inputs- such as packaging, energy, and transportation-rose little, while profits dropped.

description: Almost 181,000 retail food establishments- ranging from grocery stores, produce markets, and bakeries to candy stores-provided more than 3.5 million jobs in 1990, or about 2.5 percent of total U.S. employment. That's up 62 percent since 1975. These retail sales jobs include wage and salary employees who work in large chain stores as well as the self-employed that operate mom-and-pop style shops. These workers complete the linkage between farmers, processors, and consumers.

description: We have measured the optical constants of GaMnAs from 0.62 eV to 6 eV, using spectroscopic ellipsometry. The second derivatives of the dielectric function are examined through a critical point analysis. The E1 critical point shifts to higher energies with increased doping of Mn, while all other critical points appear unaffected. The evolution of the critical points results from the interplay between band gap renormalization from ionized impurities and sp-d hybridization of the Mn induced impurity band and GaAs valence and conductions bands.

Determination of miscalibrated polarization angles from observed CMB and foreground $EB$ power spectra: Application to partial-sky observation
Creators: name: Minami, Yuto
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study a strategy to determine miscalibrated polarization angles of cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments using the observed $EB$ polarization power spectra of CMB and Galactic foreground emission. We apply the methodology of Minami et al.(2019) developed for full-sky observations to ground-based experiments such as Simons Observatory. We take into account the $E$-to-$B$ leakage and $\ell$-to-$\ell$ covariance due to partial sky coverage using the public code NaMaster. We show that our method yields an unbiased estimate of miscalibrated angles. Our method also enables simultaneous determination of miscalibrated angles and the intrinsic $EB$ power spectrum of polarized dust emission when the latter is proportional to $\sqrt{C_\ell^{EE}C_\ell^{BB}}$ and $C_\ell^{BB}$ is proportional to $C_\ell^{EE}$.
