description: The North Atlantic region experienced abrupt high-amplitude cooling at the onset of the Younger Dryas stadial. However, due to chronological uncertainties in the available terrestrial records it is unclear whether terrestrial ecosystem response to this event was instantaneous and spatially synchronous, or whether regional or time-transgressive lags existed. Here we use new palynological results from a robustly dated lake sediment sequence retrieved from lake Hämelsee (north Germany) to show that vegetation change started at 12,820 cal. yr BP, concurrent with the onset of changes in local climate. A comparison of the Hämelsee results to a compilation of precisely dated palynological records shows instant and, within decadal-scale dating uncertainty, synchronous response of the terrestrial plant community to Late-Glacial climate change across northwest Europe. The results indicate that the environmental impact of climate cooling was more severe than previously thought and illustrates the sensitivity of natural terrestrial ecosystems to external forcing. © 2022, The Author(s).

description: We investigate transport properties of percolating clusters generated by irreversible cooperative sequential adsorption (CSA) on square lattices with Arrhenius rates given by ki= q^(ni), where ni is the number of occupied neighbors of the site i, and q a controlling parameter. Our results show a dependence of the prefactors on q and a strong finite size effect for small values of this parameter, both impacting the size of the backbone and the global conductance of the system. These results might be pertinent to practical applications in processes involving adsorption of particles.

description: Objectif. Coconstruire des critères qualité pour apprécier le respect des volontés des personnes en fin de vie dans les pratiques de soins. Méthode. La méthode est une démarche collaborative qui s’appuie sur des pratiques de terrain, qui tente de les formaliser et de les objectiver. Trois étapes ont été successivement suivies : étude de dossiers, rencontres pluridisciplinaires, et séminaires avec des experts afin d’élaborer des critères pertinents au vu des propos des praticiens. La collecte a été menée dans six unités à culture de délibération pluridisciplinaire, et accueillant habituellement des patients atteints de maladie grave évolutive/incurable ou des personnes âgées/handicapées/polypathologiques. Résultats. Les résultats montrent que la notion de volonté a un caractère singulier et fluctuant, avec une caractéristique essentielle en fin de vie : son ambivalence. La collaboration pluridisciplinaire est indispensable pour recueillir, transcrire et interpréter les volontés. L’information donnée doit être comprise, et les décisions sont prises avec le patient ou en collégialité quand celui-ci n’est pas en capacité de s’exprimer. La difficulté à tracer des informations fluctuantes et mises en discussion de manière itérative a été prise en compte par les experts, qui ont proposé au total 9 critères, relatifs à une organisation souple et communicante. La poursuite de l’étude serait de tester ces critères dans d’autres unités qui accueillent des personnes en fin de vie.

description: We consider a generalized multi-hop MIMO amplify-and-forward (AF) relay network with multiple sources/destinations and arbitrarily number of relays. We establish two dualities and the corresponding dual transformations between such a network and its dual, respectively under single network linear constraint and per-hop linear constraint. The result is a generalization of the previous dualities under different special cases and is proved using new techniques which reveal more insight on the duality structure that can be exploited to optimize MIMO precoders. A unified optimization framework is proposed to find a stationary point for an important class of non-convex optimization problems of AF relay networks based on a local Lagrange dual method, where the primal algorithm only finds a stationary point for the inner loop problem of maximizing the Lagrangian w.r.t. the primal variables. The input covariance matrices are shown to satisfy a polite water-filling structure at a stationary point of the inner loop problem. The duality and polite water-filling are exploited to design fast primal algorithms. Compared to the existing algorithms, the proposed optimization framework with duality-based primal algorithms can be used to solve more general problems with lower computation cost.

description: We investigate how to exploit intermittent feedback for interference management. Focusing on the two-user linear deterministic interference channel, we completely characterize the capacity region. We find that the characterization only depends on the forward channel parameters and the marginal probability distribution of each feedback link. The scheme we propose makes use of block Markov encoding and quantize-map-and-forward at the transmitters, and backward decoding at the receivers. Matching outer bounds are derived based on novel genie-aided techniques. As a consequence, the perfect-feedback capacity can be achieved once the two feedback links are active with large enough probabilities.

description: This book contains a survey of the twenty-one minorities of Northern China. Northern China comprises the provinces or autonomous regions of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hubei, Anhui, and Jiangsu. The survey also takes into account small groups of minorities living in Southern China but whose majorities are resident in the North, such as Mongols, Manchus, and Hui. Conversely, Tibetans living in Qinghai, Gansu, and other parts of Northern China are not considered here because most Tibetans live in Tibet which, by our definition, is included in Southern China.

description: After the Fukushima nuclear accident, beef proved to be a problematic food item with several exceedances entering the market. The reason was contaminated rice straw that was fed to cattle. Japanese authorities responded quickly to the exceedances and made beef one of the most-monitored food items after the Fukushima accident with more than a million samples within 5 years. Activity levels dropped quickly and are now considerably below the regulatory limit. No exceedance of the regulatory limit was observed after October 2012. The monitoring campaign focuses on the pre-market to catch any exceedances before they reach the consumer. The analysis also showed that some late beef samples exhibited an unusually high 134Cs/137Cs activity ratio. The reason for this is unknown. © 2016 The Author(s)

description: Buddhist Art of East Asia by Dietrich Seckel, translated by Ulrich Mammitzsch: The publication of an English translation of a work which was originally published thirty years ago requires some explanation. Professor Seckel’s work has not only stood the test of time remarkably well, it has also remained the only attempt to date to provide a systematic survey of East Asian Buddhist art. This emphasis on the basic principles of this art constitutes the value of this study and ensures at the same time its relevance for years to come. To be sure, many individual works of Buddhist art have become better known to us during the thirty years which have elapsed since the German original appeared in 1957. Many particular details have been uncovered by students as part of the rapidly expanding scholarship in Buddhist art. Mention should also be made of the advances in color photography and reproduction which has also contributed in a significant manner towards acquainting us with the Buddhist art of East Asia.

description: The present article investigates gender discrimination in recruitment for two male-dominated occupations (mechanics and IT professionals). We empirically test two different explanatory approaches to gender discrimination in hiring; namely, statistical discrimination and taste-based discrimination. Previous studies suggest that, besides job applicants’ characteristics, organisational features play a role in hiring decisions. Our article contributes to the literature on gender discrimination in the labour market by investigating its opportunity structures located at the recruiter, job and company level, and how gender discrimination varies across occupations and countries. The analysed data come from a factorial survey experiment conducted in four countries (Bulgaria, Greece, Norway and Switzerland). Real job advertisements were sampled, and the recruiters in charge of hiring for these positions (n = 1,920) rated up to ten hypothetical CVs (vignettes). We find gender discrimination in Bulgaria and Greece and to a lesser degree in Switzerland, but not in Norway. The degree of gender discrimination appears to be greater in mechanics than in IT. Multivariate analyses that test a number of opportunity structures for discrimination suggest that mechanisms of statistical discrimination rather than those of taste-based discrimina- tion might be at work.
Staggered-Ladder Quasienergy Spectra for Generic Quasimomentum and Quantum-Dynamical Manifestations

description: A new kind of regular quasienergy (Floquet) spectrum is found for the generalized kicked particle under quantum-resonance conditions at generic quasimomentum, a quantity most relevant in atom-optics experimental realizations of kicked-rotor systems. The new non-Poisson regular spectrum has the structure of a staggered ladder, i.e., it is the superposition of a finite number of ladder subspectra all having the same spacing, which is independent of the nonintegrability of the system. This spectral structure is shown to have distinct quantum-dynamical manifestations: A suppression of quantum resonances and a novel type of dynamical localization characterized by unique features such as traveling-wave components in the time evolution. These phenomena are found to be robust under small variations of the quasimomentum and should therefore be experimentally observable using Bose-Einstein condensates with sufficiently small quasimomentum width.

title: Mongolian Publications at Western Washington University
Creators: name: Schwarz, Henry
Publisher: name: Center for East Asian Studies, Western Washington University
Year: 1984

description: The field of Mongolian Studies in the United States is poorly served in bibliographical matters. Scholars in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Studies have long since had several aids, such as bibliographies, union lists, and shelf lists, at their disposal. By contrast, Mongolian Studies has only one reasonably up-to-date bibliography of Western-language works (Bibliotheca Mongolica, published by this university's Center for East Asian Studies in 1978), but no union lists nor shelf lists. The absence of the latter two types of aids is much more serious than it would be in other fields for several reasons. The relatively few institutions and individuals engaged in Mongolian Studies are widely separated from one another, a fact which makes it much more difficult for a Mongolist than, say, a Sinologist to know precisely which works are available at which university. The various inter-library search services are incomplete to the point that, in Mongolian Studies, they are practically useless. Still another handicap is the difficulty of obtaining publications from the various parts of Mongolia. For political and other reasons, the supply of works from all parts of Mongolia has been sporadic at best. Works published within the territory of the Chinese People's Republic have been virtually unobtainable until quite recently. We hope that this catalog will be the first small step toward a national union catalog.

description: A Change in Dynasties: Jennifer W. Jay’s book challenges standard Chinese historiography which sees Song loyalists as totally uncompromising to the new Mongol government. Professor Jay’s book marshals an impressive range of evidence to prove that after the defeat of loyalist resistance in 1279, even among the exemplars accommodation was more often the case than resistance. This important new study demonstrates that Song loyalism can best be understood in terms of a spectrum of relative rather than absolute values.

description: We have analyzed the chemical variety obtained by Miller-Urey-type experiments using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy, gas chromatography followed by mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and two-dimensional gas chromatography followed by mass spectrometry (GCxGC/MS). In the course of a running Miller-Urey-type experiment, a hydrophobic organic layer emerged besides the hydrophilic aqueous phase and the gaseous phase that were initially present. The gas phase mainly consisted of aromatic compounds and molecules containing C≡C or C≡N triple bonds. The hydrophilic phase contained at least a few thousands of different molecules, primarily distributed in a range of 50 and 500 Da. The hydrophobic phase is characterized by carbon-rich, oil-like compounds and their amphiphilic derivatives containing oxygen with tensioactive properties. The presence of a wide range of oxidized molecules hints to the availability of oxygen radicals. We suggest that they intervene in the formation of alkylated polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the oil/water interface. CARS spectroscopy revealed distinct vibrational molecular signatures. In particular, characteristic spectral bands for cyanide compounds were observed if the broth was prepared with electric discharges in the gaseous phase. The characteristic spectral bands were absent if discharges were released onto the water surface. NMR spectroscopy on the same set of samples independently confirmed the observation. In addition, NMR spectroscopy revealed overall high chemical variability that suggests strong non-linearities due to interdependent, sequential reaction steps. © 2016 The Author(s)
Observations of very high energy gamma-ray emission from AGNs with the ground-based EAS arrays

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The ground-based EAS array is usually operated with a high duty cycle (> 90%) and a large field of view (~2 sr), which can continuously monitor the sky. It is essential and irreplaceable to understand the gamma-ray emission mechanism and intrinsic physics progress of the variable source AGN. The EAS arrays, AS-r experiment (since 1990) and ARGO-YBJ experiment (since 2007), have continuously monitored the northern sky at energies above 3 TeV and 0.3 TeV, respectively. They have made substantial contributions for long-term monitoring of Mrk 421 and Mrk 501. In this paper, we will review the results obtained by the EAS arrays. The next generation of EAS array, LHAASO project, will boost the sensitivity of current EAS array at least up to 30 times with a much wider energy range from 40 GeV to 1 PeV. Beside increasing the number of VHE gamma-ray sources, it will guide us look sight into the properties of jet, and throw light on the determining of the EBL, intergalactic magnetic fields, and the validity of the Lorentz Invariance.

Blazar Anti-Sequence of Spectral Variation within individual Blazars: Cases for Mrk 501 and 3C 279

description: The jet properties of Mrk 501 and 3C 279 are derived by fitting the broadband spectral energy distributions with the lepton models. The derived gamma_b (the break Lorenz factor of the electron distribution) are 10^4-10^6 for Mrk 501 and 200~600 for 3C 279 and the magnetic field strength (B) of Mrk 501 is usually one order of magnitude lower than that of 3C 279, but their Doppler factors (delta) are comparable. A spectral variation feature that the peak luminosity is correlated with the peak frequency, which is opposite to the blazar sequence, is observed in the two sources. We find that (1) the peak luminosities of the two bumps in SEDs for Mrk 501 depend on gamma_b in both the observer and co-moving frames, but they are not correlated with B and delta; (2)the luminosity variation of 3C 279 is dominated by the external Compton (EC) peak and its peak luminosity is correlated with gamma_b and delta, but anti-correlated with B. These results suggest that gamma_b may govern the spectral variation of Mrk 501 and delta and B would be responsible for the spectral variation of 3C 279. The narrow distribution of gamma_b and the correlation of gamma_b and B in 3C 279 would be due to the cooling by the EC process and the strong magnetic field. Based on our brief discussion, we propose that this spectral variation feature may be originated from the instability of the corona but not from the variation of the accretion rate as that for the blazar sequence.

The study takes into account the years 2016–2020 according to the dates of publication on the platforms. Citation data was taken from DataCite, Crossref and Dimensions. Primarily, we want to know to what extent scientific posters are being cited and thereby which impact posters potentially have on the scholarly landscape and especially on academic publications. Our data-driven analysis reveals that posters are rarely cited. Citations could only be found for 1% of the posters in our dataset. A limitation in this study however is that the impact of academic posters was not measured empirical but rather descriptive.

description: Tuning of protein surface charge is a fundamental mechanism in biological systems. Protein charge is regulated in a physiological context by pH and interaction with counterions. We report on charge inversion and the related reentrant condensation in solutions of globular proteins with different multivalent metal cations. In particular, we focus on the changes in phase behavior and charge regulation due to pH effects caused by hydrolysis of metal ions. For several proteins and metal salts, charge inversion as measured by electrophoretic light scattering is found to be a universal phenomenon, the extent of which is dependent on the specific protein-salt combination. Reentrant phase diagrams show a much narrower phase-separated regime for acidic salts such as AlCl3 and FeCl3 compared to neutral salts such as YCl3 or LaCl3 . The differences between acidic and neutral salts can be explained by the interplay of pH effects and binding of the multivalent counterions. The experimental findings are reproduced with good agreement by an analytical model for protein charging taking into account ion condensation, metal ion hydrolysis and interaction with charged amino acid side chains on the protein surface. Finally, the relationship of charge inversion and reentrant condensation is discussed, suggesting that pH variation in combination with multivalent cations provides control over both attractive and repulsive interactions between proteins.

description: We present one of the first climate change impact assessments on river runoff that utilises an ensemble of global hydrological models (Glob-HMs) and an ensemble of catchment-scale hydrological models (Cat-HMs), across multiple catchments: the upper Amazon, Darling, Ganges, Lena, upper Mississippi, upper Niger, Rhine and Tagus. Relative changes in simulated mean annual runoff (MAR) and four indicators of high and low extreme flows are compared between the two ensembles. The ensemble median values of changes in runoff with three different scenarios of global-mean warming (1, 2 and 3 °C above pre-industrial levels) are generally similar between the two ensembles, although the ensemble spread is often larger for the Glob-HM ensemble. In addition the ensemble spread is normally larger than the difference between the two ensemble medians. Whilst we find compelling evidence for projected runoff changes for the Rhine (decrease), Tagus (decrease) and Lena (increase) with global warming, the sign and magnitude of change for the other catchments is unclear. Our model results highlight that for these three catchments in particular, global climate change mitigation, which limits global-mean temperature rise to below 2 °C above preindustrial levels, could avoid some of the hydrological hazards that could be seen with higher magnitudes of global warming. © 2016 The Author(s)
Implications of Charge Ordering in the High Tc Cuprate Superconductors in the Far-infrared Spectroscopy

description: We addressed the issue of the absence of the far-infrared signatures pertaining to charge ordering in the published far-infrared reflectivity data of La2-xSrxCuO4 single crystals while other experimental probes unravel that charge ordering is a hallmark of the superconducting cuprates. Through direct comparison of the far-infrared data reported by various groups side by side and also with the Raman scattering data, we found that the inconsistencies stem from the failure in capturing delicate spectral features embedded in the close-to-perfect ab-plane far-infrared reflectivity of La2-xSrxCuO4 single crystals by misidentifying the reflectivity as the Drude-like metallic reflectivity. The analysis of the close-to-true reflectivity data reveals that only a small fraction (< 3 %) of the total doping-induced charge carriers (electrons) are itinerant on the electron lattice made up with the rest of the electrons (> 97 %) at all doping levels up to 16 %. We conclude that the far-infrared reflectivity study is far from being ready to construct a coherent picture of the ubiquitous charge ordering phenomenon and its relationship with the high Tc superconductivity.

description: Within the Franck-Condon approximation, the single ionization of H$_2$ leaves H$_2^+$ in a coherent superposition of 19 nuclear vibrational states. We numerically design an optimal laser pulse train to transfer such a coherent nuclear wave packet to the ground vibrational state of H$_2^+$. The simulation results show that the population of the ground state after the transfer is more than 91%. Frequency analysis of the designed optimal pulse reveals that the transfer principle is mainly an anti-Stokes transition, i.e., the H$_2^+$ in $1sσ_g$ with excited nuclear vibrational states is first pumped to $2pσ_g$ state by the pulse at an appropriate time, and then dumped back to $1sσ_g$ with lower excited or ground vibrational states.
title: Through the Ocean Waves: The Autobiography of Bazaryn Shirendev
Creators: name: Shirėndėv, Bazaryn
Publisher: name: Center for East Asian Studies, Western Washington University
Year: 1997

description: The translation of Shirendev’s Through the Ocean Waves is a significant event for the historical understanding of modem Mongolia. This is the first personal biography by a central figure in the communist government that dominated the entire central part of the twentieth century. Shirendev is a remarkable statesman. The peaks and troughs of his career, alluded to in his title, reveal the inner turbulence of the history of his country, which was largely hidden until recently. Since 1990 Mongolia has changed direction politically, turning towards democracy, market relations and openness in public life. The publication of Shirendev s book in Mongolian is part of this process. However, although his career is usually identified with the high socialism of the 1940s-80s, Shirendev's book reveals that he really stands for a “Mongolianness” that spans virtually the whole of this century in all of its political guises. It is clear from Shirendev’s account that even a beacon of party activism such as himself remains in many ways attached to the traditional culture in which he grew up. His account contains a mixture of admiration for the experience of the herders with a determination to improve the social conditions of their lives.
Computationally Efficient Buckling Analysis of Damaged Composite Sandwich Panels in Wind Turbine Blades

description: Major parts of a wind turbine rotor blade are designed as sandwich panels, which consist of thin face sheets and a thick sandwich core. The face sheets are normally made of glass fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates while the sandwich core usually consists of polymeric foams or balsa wood, depending on the blade design and the position along the blade. The buckling resistance of these sandwich panels is of importance in the design analysis of the ultimate limit state. Additional complexity in this analysis arises from local damages, e.g., delamination or matrix cracks, curved geometries, material inhomogeneities or other discontinuities within the panel. These local imperfections can have a major influence on the buckling behavior. A practical approach to predict the global buckling response and local effects of arbitrary sandwich panels with local damages or discontinuities is the finite element analysis.

description: We report the routing of quantum light emitted by self-assembled InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) into the optical modes of a GaAs ridge waveguide and its efficient detection on-chip via evanescent coupling to NbN superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs). Individual QD light sources embedded within such integrated nano-photonic circuits are highly attractive for the realization of quantum photonic circuits for many applications in photonic information science. Here, we demonstrate that the waveguide coupled SNSPDs primarily detect QD luminescence with scattered photons from the excitation laser being negligible by comparison. The SNSPD detection efficiency from the evanescently coupled waveguide modes is shown to be two orders of magnitude higher when compared with operation under normal incidence illumination. Furthermore, in-situ time resolved measurements show an average exciton lifetime of 0.93 \pm 0.03 ns when recorded with the integrated detector with an ultrafast timing jitter of only 72 \pm 2 ps showing the great potential of this highly integrated quantum optics system.

description: We compare results of the recent experiment by Herath et al [T. Herath, L. Yan, S. K. Lee, and W. Li, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 043004 (2012)] on strong-field nonadiabatic tunneling in circularly polarized laser fields with the original predictions of our theory [I. Barth and O. Smirnova, Phys. Rev A 84, 063415 (2011)] that stimulated these experiments. We show that the theory and experiment are in very good agreement. We also explain why the initial comparison performed by Herath et al [T. Herath, L. Yan, S. K. Lee, and W. Li, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 043004 (2012)] has suggested quantitative discrepancies with our theory. We confirm that these seeming discrepancies are removed with an accurate application of our theoretical model. We suggest an experiment for unique determination of the ionization preference of valence orbitals p+ or p-.

description: We present a generic mobility and traffic generation framework that can be incorporated into a tool for modeling and simulating large scale ad hoc networks. Three components of this framework, namely a mobility data generator (MDG), a graph structure generator (GSG) and an occlusion modification tool (OMT) allow a variety of mobility models to be incorporated into the tool. The MDG module generates positions of transceivers at specified time instants. The GSG module constructs the graph corresponding to the ad hoc network from the mobility data provided by MDG. The OMT module modifies the connectivity of the graph produced by GSG to allow for occlusion effects. With two other modules, namely an activity data generator (ADG) which generates packet transmission activities for transceivers and a packet activity simulator (PAS) which simulates the movement and interaction of packets among the transceivers, the framework allows the modeling and simulation of ad hoc communication networks. The design of the framework allows a user to incorporate various realistic parameters crucial in the simulation. We illustrate the utility of our framework through a comparative study of three mobility models. Two of these are synthetic models (random waypoint and exponentially correlated mobility) proposed in the literature. The third model is based on an urban population mobility modeling tool (TRANSIMS) developed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. This tool is capable of providing comprehensive information about the demographics, mobility and interactions of members of a large urban population. A comparison of these models is carried out by computing a variety of parameters associated with the graph structures generated by the models. There has recently been interest in the structural properties of graphs that arise in real world systems. We examine two aspects of this for the graphs created by the mobility models: change associated with power control (range of transceivers). and variation in time as transceivers move in space.
