description: Cluster synchronization is a phenomenon in which oscillators in a given network are partitioned into synchronous clusters. As recently shown, diverse cluster synchronization patterns can be found using network symmetry when the oscillators are identical. For such symmetry-induced cluster synchronization patterns, subsets called intertwined clusters can exist, in which every cluster in the same subset should synchronize or desynchronize concurrently. In this work, to reflect the existence of noise in real systems, we consider networks composed of nearly identical oscillators. We show that every cluster in the same intertwined cluster set is nearly synchronized concurrently when the nearly synchronous state of the set is stable. We also consider an extreme case where only one cluster of an intertwined cluster set is composed of nearly identical oscillators while every other cluster in the set is composed of identical oscillators. In this case, deviation from the synchronous state of every cluster in the same set increases linearly with the magnitude of parameter mismatch within the cluster of nearly identical oscillators. We confirm these results by numerical simulation.

description: Inhomogeneous and anisotropic cosmologies are modeled withing the framework of scalar-tensor gravity theories. The inhomogeneities are calculated to third-order in the so-called long-wavelength iteration scheme. We write the solutions for general scalar coupling and discuss what happens to the third-order terms when the scalar-tensor solution approaches at first-order the general relativistic one. We work out in some detail the case of Brans-Dicke coupling and determine the conditions for which the anisotropy and inhomogeneity decay as time increases. The matter is taken to be that of perfect fluid with a barotropic equation of state.

description: Recently we showed that the postulated diffeomorphic equivalence of states implies quantum mechanics. This approach takes the canonical variables to be dependent by the relation p=\partial_q S_0 and exploits a basic GL(2,C)-symmetry which underlies the canonical formalism. In particular, we looked for the special transformations leading to the free system with vanishing energy. Furthermore, we saw that while on the one hand the equivalence principle cannot be consistently implemented in classical mechanics, on the other it naturally led to the quantum analogue of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, thus implying the Schroedinger equation. In this letter we show that actually the principle uniquely leads to this solution. Furthermore, we find the map reducing any system to the free one with vanishing energy and derive the transformations on S_0 leaving the wave function invariant. We also express the canonical and Schroedinger equations by means of the brackets recently introduced in the framework of N=2 SYM. These brackets are the analogue of the Poisson brackets with the canonical variables taken as dependent.

description: The article presents the analysis of the ArICl(IP,vIP,nIP) population and decay at energies lower than the ArICl(E,vE = 0,nE) dissociation limit (IP = E0+, D′2, β1), vIP = 0, 1, nIP are quantum numbers of the van der Waals (vdW) modes). It shows that the ArICl(IP,vIP,nIP) lifetimes determined at spectral ranges where the ArICl(E→X, D′→A′, and β→A) luminescence takes place, are the same, τ = 20.3 ± 1.0 ns, i.e. strongly mixed complex states are populated in the ArICl(IP,vIP,nIP ← A,vA,nA) transitions, and principal channel of the complex decay is emission. We have estimated the ArICl(E0+,vE = 0) binding energy and studied the ArICl(IP,vIP,nIP) population and decay at energies higher than the ArICl(E,vE = 0,nE) dissociation limit. Our research shows that the ArICl(IP,vIP,nIP) wave functions corresponding to specific nIP vdW mode depend on the mode, but they are approximately constant in some spectral ranges. The ArICl(IP,vIP,nIP) complex decays to free ICl(E0+,vE, D′2,vD′ and β1,vβ) molecules. We have determined the probabilities of these decay channels and shown that all the ICl(IP) states are mixed under the action of the Ar atom, i.e. this atom does not behave in the ArICl(IP,vIP,nIP) complexes as a ‘spectator’ as it occurs in the RgI2(IP) states.
Humanimality and Hyper-determination in Sophocles’ Oedipus Plays

Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2019

description: In a discussion of Oedipus Tyrannus and Oedipus at Colonus the essential question of Oedipus’ identity remains unanswered. This paper addresses the topic, conceiving Oedipus as a “manimal”, a point of intersection of nature and culture. Oedipus’ humanimality questions his common reception as a hero occupying a liminal space between nature and culture: rather, he seems to fully belong to the wild nature of Cithaeron, and also to the civilized world of Thebes. Born in a human family and raised by step parents, Oedipus is also the child of Cithaeron, which nurtured him like a mother (OT 1091: τροφὸν καὶ ματέρ’) and, according to this double origin of birth, a human puppy but also a nursling animal (θρέμμα: 1143); the mountain does not represent only his place of savage birth, but also the location where he would like to die (1451-4). Yet, despite his wild origins, Oedipus belongs to the city of Thebes more than anyone else. Thebes is not going to find salvation without him, even after acknowledging his incest. The Sphinx oppressing the city was defeated by him; Thebes’ political balance relies upon him, who alone, by returning to Thebes, can prevent his sons’ war. Whereas Oedipus is the citizen that Thebes cannot relinquish, Creon, Eteocles and Polyneices, the men in charge in Thebes, will cause havoc in the city, by waging a war for honour and dynastic power (OC 1416-23). As far as I am aware, the only paper discussing how a Greek play lends itself to the idea of humanimality is Payne (2016). This paper aims to broaden this discussion to other dramatic plays, taking Sophocles’ Oedipus plays as a key-study. Keywords: humanimality, incest, parricide, Cithaeron, hyper-determination

description: Abstract In recent years, the increasing trend of amphetamine type stimulant (ATS) use among opioid dependent was strikingly afflicted worldwide, including Malaysia.. A descriptive study was carried out to provide information of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of mixed opioid and ATS dependent subjects undergoing the MMT program in Methadone Clinic in Kuala Terengganu in order to enhance the management related to health and social effects. A total 36 subjects who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited and interviewed. The mean (SD) age of patients was 40.98 years (SD 4.64), and the most common age of initiation was 15–20 years (42%). Most of the educational background were up to high school level (44%). Morphine and methamphetamine were the most abused substances. The majority of 83.1% used injections as their method of opioid ingestion, while 65.3% preferred chase to ingest ATS. About 30.6% of drug-dependent subjects in this study were on MMT for a 4-year duration with 63.5% of them were on methadone dosage between 45-70mg/day. Most of them demonstrated no history of arrested and conviction for drug use (63.9%) or other criminal acts nonrelated to drug abuse (94.5%). This study provide update and supportive information of socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of mixed opioid and ATS dependent subjects undergoing the MMT program that may contribute towards comprehensive management to overcome the significant surge of ATS use among opioid dependents.
Nonexistence of simple hyperbolic blow-up for the quasi-geostrophic equation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: The problem we are concerned with is whether singularities form in finite time in incompressible fluid flows. It is well known that the answer is ``no'' in the case of Euler and Navier-Stokes equations in dimension two. In dimension three it is still an open problem for these equations. In this paper we focus on a two-dimensional active scalar model for the 3D Euler vorticity equation. Constantin, Majda and Tabak suggested, by studying rigorous theorems and detailed numerical experiments, a general principle: ``If the level set topology in the temperature field for the 2D quasi-geostrophic active scalar in the region of strong scalar gradients does not contain a hyperbolic saddle, then no finite time singularity is possible.'' Numerical simulations showed evidence of singular behavior when the geometry of the level sets of the active scalar contain a hyperbolic saddle. There is a naturally associated notion of simple hyperbolic saddle breakdown. The main theorem we present in this paper shows that such breakdown cannot occur in finite time. We also show that the angle of the saddle cannot close in finite time and it cannot be faster than a double exponential in time. Using the same techniques, we see that analogous results hold for incompressible 2D and 3D Euler.

Residuals reuse in aggregate mine reclamation : a decade of BC experience
Creators: name: Van Ham, Mike
name: Teshima, Mark
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Stockpiled soils, if available for aggregate mine reclamation, are often poorly developed, lack fertility and organic matter and are biologically on life support. Residuals, in the form of municipal biosolids, pulp and paper mill sludge, lime mud, ash and animal manures can provide the physical, biological and nutrient capital to promote and sustain soil development. For almost a decade many aggregate mines throughout BC have been active participants in the research and use of residuals in reclamation activities. Biosolids, pulp sludge and lime mud have been used extensively in reclamation, research and demonstration activities completed at Ministry of Transportation and Highways pits, municipal quarries, and large private industry mines including Lehigh Northwest Materials’ (Lehigh) Sechelt mine in Sechelt, BC and Producers Pit, situated between the communities of Colwood and Metchosin, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. These examples illustrate successful and innovative utilization of organic residuals in small-scale to high-profile sand and gravel mine reclamation projects. Through prudent organic residuals management and transparent communication of the considerations and benefits of residuals use to the many stakeholders involved in these projects, successful reclamation of aggregate mines is achieved. These successes are cost effective, regionally supported reclamation programs that demonstrate the highest level of environmental stewardship.

description: We discuss pinning properties of MgB2 thin films grown by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) and by electron-beam (EB) evaporation. Two mechanisms are identified that contribute most effectively to the pinning of vortices in randomly oriented films. The EB process produces low defected crystallites with small grain size providing enhanced pinning at grain boundaries without degradation of Tc. The PLD process produces films with structural disorder on a scale less that the coherence length that further improves pinning, but also depresses Tc.

“The Elements so Mix’d”: Empedoclean Cosmology in The Tempest
Creators: name: Lucking, David
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2019

description: This article examines the manner in which the elemental images that constitute a recurrent motif in Shakespeare’s The Tempestevolve in accordance with the cosmic cycle propounded by the pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles, and how this serves to adumbrate the psychological process undergone by the protagonist Prospero in the course of the events depicted in the play. Prospero is a character who, dedicating himself exclusively to his arcane studies in Milan at the expense of his practical duties as a prince, has implicitly repudiated what he considers to be the inferior elements in his own being in favour of the more elevated aspects of his personality, this schism in the self being represented symbolically in the contraposition between Ariel and Caliban, associated respectively with air and fire, and earth and water. This corresponds to the phase in which Strife(neikos) gains ascendancy in the Empedoclean cycle, and in which the elements are segregated out from a primal unity and set in opposition to one another. The phase in the Empedoclean cycle in which the process reverses itself and Love (philia) begins to assert its sway is what appears in the here and now of the drama, as the disparate elements both within Prospero himself and in the world surrounding him undergo a process of convergence that eventually makes possible the reunification symbolized in Prospero’s charmed circle.

description: Purpose: This prospective clinical study assesses the feasibility of training a deep neural network (DNN) for intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model fitting to diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) data and evaluates its performance. Methods: In May 2011, ten male volunteers (age range: 29 to 53 years, mean: 37 years) underwent DW-MRI of the upper abdomen on 1.5T and 3.0T magnetic resonance scanners. Regions of interest in the left and right liver lobe, pancreas, spleen, renal cortex, and renal medulla were delineated independently by two readers. DNNs were trained for IVIM model fitting using these data; results were compared to least-squares and Bayesian approaches to IVIM fitting. Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) were used to assess consistency of measurements between readers. Intersubject variability was evaluated using Coefficients of Variation (CV). The fitting error was calculated based on simulated data and the average fitting time of each method was recorded. Results: DNNs were trained successfully for IVIM parameter estimation. This approach was associated with high consistency between the two readers (ICCs between 50 and 97%), low intersubject variability of estimated parameter values (CVs between 9.2 and 28.4), and the lowest error when compared with least-squares and Bayesian approaches. Fitting by DNNs was several orders of magnitude quicker than the other methods but the networks may need to be re-trained for different acquisition protocols or imaged anatomical regions. Conclusion: DNNs are recommended for accurate and robust IVIM model fitting to DW-MRI data. Suitable software is available at (1).

description: We study fundamental graph problems under parallel computing models. In particular, we consider two parallel computing models: Parallel Random Access Machine (PRAM) and Massively Parallel Computation (MPC). The PRAM model is a classic model of parallel computation. The efficiency of a PRAM algorithm is measured by its parallel time and the number of processors needed to achieve the parallel time. The MPC model is an abstraction of modern massive parallel computing systems such as MapReduce, Hadoop and Spark. The MPC model captures well coarse-grained computation on large data --- data is distributed to processors, each of which has a sublinear (in the input data) amount of local memory and we alternate between rounds of computation and rounds of communication, where each machine can communicate an amount of data as large as the size of its memory. We usually desire fully scalable MPC algorithms, i.e., algorithms that can work for any local memory size. The efficiency of a fully scalable MPC algorithm is measured by its parallel time and the total space usage (the local memory size times the number of machines). Consider an 𝑛-vertex 𝑚-edge undirected graph 𝐺 (either weighted or unweighted) with diameter 𝐷 (the largest diameter of its connected components). Let 𝑁=𝑚+𝑛 denote the size of 𝐺. We present a series of efficient (randomized) parallel graph algorithms with theoretical guarantees. Several results are listed as follows: 1) Fully scalable MPC algorithms for graph connectivity and spanning forest using 𝑂(𝑁) total space and 𝑂(log 𝐷loglog_{𝑁/𝑛} 𝑛) parallel time. 2) Fully scalable MPC algorithms for 2-edge and 2-vertex connectivity using 𝑂(𝑁) total space where 2-edge connectivity algorithm needs 𝑂(log 𝐷loglog_{𝑁/𝑛} 𝑛) parallel time, and 2-vertex connectivity algorithm needs 𝑂(log 𝐷⸱log²log_{𝑁/𝑛} n+\log D'⸱loglog_{𝑁/𝑛} 𝑛) parallel time. Here 𝐷' denotes the bi-diameter of 𝐺. 3) PRAM algorithms for graph connectivity and spanning forest using 𝑂(𝑁) processors and 𝑂(log 𝐷loglog_{𝑁/𝑛} 𝑛) parallel time. 4) PRAM algorithms for (1 + 𝜖)-approximate shortest path and (1 + 𝜖)-approximate uncapacitated minimum cost flow using 𝑂(𝑁) processors and poly(log 𝑛) parallel time. These algorithms are built on a series of new graph algorithmic primitives which may be of independent interests.

description: In early 1998, environmental monitoring at the Texada Quarry revealed large amounts of sediment were generated by quarry operations and transported in surface water run-off containing high levels of suspended solids at various locations throughout the quarry. In order to control sediment transport at the Texada Quarry operations and prevent discharge into the receiving environment, two sediment control settling ponds were designed and constructed: the Main Settling Pond (MSP) and Ancillary Settling Pond (ASP). The design and construction were completed in 1998. A monitoring program was implemented under Permit Q-15 to assess the performance of the settling ponds, with effluent criteria set at 75 mg/L TSS. Monitoring has been conducted on a monthly basis since construction in 1998. Monthly monitoring data from August 1998 to July 2003 indicate that the MSP effluent was above the 75 mg/L total suspended solids on only three of sixty occasions, despite peak total suspended solids in excess of 10,000 mg/L. With one exception, the ASP effluent has been consistently below 75 mg/L effluent criteria. Influent total suspended solids during this same period reach maximum levels of approximately 600 mg/L. Correlation of TDS and turbidity for effluent suggests that field measurement of turbidity could be used to develop a turbidity threshold for determining if the MSP and ASP effluent were below or above the regulated effluent criteria. This would also for a reduction in analytical costs associated with this monitoring program. The design, installation, monitoring and annual maintenance of these settling ponds has been successful in mitigating impacts to the receiving environment from the quarry operations.
Temperance beyond Discipline: Considerations on the Functions of US Temperance Drama
Creators: name: Boss, Aleksandra
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2019

description: The essay investigates the functions of representing the near destruction of nuclear family structures and values in nineteenth-century US temperance drama. The thesis underlying this investigation postulates that the embodiment of the quasi-wilful destruction of the nuclear family on stage gives expression to socially unacceptable desires of escaping that structure in the face of its oppressive potentials in antebellum middle-class society. Taking the text of the most prominent temperance play, The Drunkard, or The Fallen Saved (1844), as a point of departure, and amplifying it with readings of Ten Nights in a Bar-Room (1858) and Fifteen Years of a Drunkard’s Life (1828), the thesis assumes further that various instances of ambiguity and irony warrant an understanding of temperance plays as more than one-dimensional, didactic cautionary tales upholding given status-quo power structures. Basing itself on theoretical approaches from Cultural Studies, this thesis departs from the established interpretations of the genre as part of an ideological apparatus in tune with hegemonic imperatives of self-discipline mandated by an economy industrializing in the context of a mainstream culture determined by an Evangelical ethos. The essay first provides a historical, socio-political contextualisation of the development of the genre. What follows is an introduction of relevant precepts of Cultural Studies as formulated by John Fiske. The special focus of this theoretical lens lies on the interface of play text and the processes of encoding and decoding, excorporation and incorporation that result in ambiguous and conflicting interpretations of encoded messages. An analysis of character constructions as well as of sensationalized scenes depicting the main character’s personal downfall and decay with the concomitant damage to his family form the main part of the investigation.

Metatheatrical Possibilities in a Re-Consideration of Wertenbaker’s Our Country’s Good
Creators: name: Clode, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2019

description: A discussion of metatheatre in Timberlake Wertenbaker’s Our Country’s Good illuminates interpretive possibilities beyond the scope of its original British contexts. Though not conceived in Australia, the play was first performed in the Australian Bicentennial year and was based upon Australian author Thomas Keneally’s The Playmaker (1987), a novel about the first British colonial theatre production in Sydney. Our Country’s Good boasts an extensive, international, production history. It has assumed canonical status in the UK where it was first staged under the direction of Max Stafford-Clark at the Royal Court and is now taught regularly in British secondary schools (Bush 2013: 118-19). Due to its thematic relevance to Australian postcolonial history, this work also occupies a place in Australian theatre that, while recognised, has been little examined. Despite wide recognition of its Australian origins in Keneally’s novel, reception of the play has been guided by the multiple contexts – theatrical/industrial, political and social – of its first production in Britain. Despite Sara Soncini’s recognition of the usefulness of metatheatre to the play’s critical discourse (1999), the question of how metatheatre relates to the play’s Australian elements remains largely under examined. This discussion of Our Country’s Good repositions it within the context of Australian drama. By offering a closer examination of metatheatrical strategies in Our Country’s Good, including in the play’s Australian productions, the article demonstrates how metatheatre contributes to the work’s distinctively Australian cultural value. In particular, it argues that the role described in the dramatis personae as the “Aboriginal” can be understood as one of the play’s metatheatrical interventions. A more thorough understanding of this role as metatheatrical is vital to a full realisation of the play’s critical capacities.

description: Building on our previous work on NO + Ar, this paper presents a complete set of orientation measurements and quantum mechanical calculations for the NO + Kr collision system, including both spin-orbit conserving and changing collisions, and both side-on (x-axis) and end-on (z-axis) orientations. While many of the trends observed in the oriented differential and integral scattering distributions, as well as in the spin-orbit branching fractions, are similar to the ones seen previously for NO + Ar, a direct comparison with the Ar data reveals subtle differences in the scattering dynamics, which we rationalise with the more extended attractive regions on the NO + Kr potential energy surfaces. High-impact parameter collisions that lead to low scattering angles in the spin-orbit conserving manifold are particularly sensitive to the topology in the attractive parts of the potential, whereas more impulsive, low-impact parameter trajectories, which sample the repulsive parts of the potential, produce very similar features in the oriented differential cross sections for the Ar and Kr systems, especially for spin-orbit changing collisions.

 COLOMBIA: Valle de Cauca Department, Santiago de Cali; 16 January 2021; V. Vieda. Host: Unidentified species (Anyphaenidae), adult or subadult female. The wasp grasped the immobilized ghost spider’s spinnerets with her mandibles while straddling it venter to venter. The left hindleg and right hind-, third and second legs were amputated at the coxa-trochanter joints (Vieda 2021). The description of A. viridis reported from Colombia by Banks (1946) and represented in our host record may not be the same A. viridis (Smith, 1864) originally described from São Paulo, Brazil, as discussed by Banks (1946).

description: Between 1555 and 1557, at least 27 people were burnt in Sussex as incorrigible heretics, having been passed to the secular authorities by the church. The cult of the 'Sussex Martyrs', revived or arguably created by the Lewes schoolteacher and historian Mark Antony Lower (1813-76), established a canonical list of the victims of such persecution, and subsequent biographical research has been largely limited to those individuals. This article seeks to broaden the investigation in order to establish a social and religious context for the burnings.

description: The dissociation dynamics of CO-forming channel on the ground state (S0) of methyl formate has been studied by direct dynamics simulations and Generalised Multi-Centre Impulsive Model (GMCIM) under photon energy of 193 nm. Comparison of the simulated product-state distribution with experimental results permits us to conclude that the major forming channel of primary CO is through the conventional three-centre saddle point (TS1), which leads to CO (X1∑+) + CH3OH (X~1A′) products. Besides, the photolysis wavelength dependence of product state distribution via TS1 is successfully interpreted by GMCIM, whereas the excess energy above the barrier top is treated by sudden approximation. In addition, the possibility to produce secondary CO is also considered. With the aid of phase-space theory simulation, it turns out that the most probable route to form secondary CO is via the sequential triple fragmentation due to the further decomposition of energetic HCO(X~2A′), which takes place on the S0 surface of methyl formate.

description: Microbes exist in unfathomably diverse, dynamic and intricately structured ecosystems. However, we lack the tools to fully capture the complexity of these microbiomes, which in turn limits our ability to understand their ecology and function. Here, I address these shortcomings by developing new high-throughput measurement tools to characterize microbiomes across functionally distinct axes. First, from a synthetic biology perspective, I leverage the bacterial CRISPR-Cas immune system to enable a new class of population-wide passive recording devices in cells for capture temporally varying signals and horizontally transferred DNA sequences. Second, in the microbiome arena, I develop a new suite of tools (experimental and theoretical) to capture and analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of microbiomes at macroscopic and microscopic length scales. Taken together, these measurements provide deep insights into the ecology of complex microbiomes, and constitute a suite of powerful new tools to study microbes in their native context.
Is there chaos in string cosmology?

description: Bianchi type IX, 'Mixmaster' universes are investigated in low-energy-effective-action string cosmology. We show that, unlike in general relativity, there is no chaos in these string cosmologies for the case of the tree-level action. The characteristic Mixmaster evolution through a series of Kasner epochs is studied in detail. In the Einstein frame an infinite sequence of chaotic oscillations of the scale factors on approach to the initial singularity is impossible, as it was in general relativistic Mixmaster universes in the presence of a massless scalar field. A finite sequence of oscillations of the scale factors described by approximate Kasner metrics is possible, but it always ceases when all expansion rates become positive. In the string frame the evolution through Kasner epochs changes to a new form which reflects the duality symmetry of the theory. Again, we show that chaotic oscillations must end after a finite time. The need for duality symmetry appears to be incompatible with the presence of chaotic behaviour as $t \to 0$. We also obtain our results using the Hamiltonian qualitative cosmological picture for Mixmaster models. We also prove that a time-independent pseudoscalar axion field $h$ is not admitted by the Bianchi IX geometry.

description: Introduction Social distancing (SD) was proposed by World Health Organization (WHO) as a measure to control spread of COVID-19 virus. SD implementation is a huge subject of debate as enforcement and acceptance differs in many countries. Objective This study aimed to present if Malaysians practice the recommended SD as per recommended by WHO. Methodology [Refer to Poster]. Discussion Malaysians are seen to be compliant to practice SD and most are attempting to comply for as long as it’s still directed by the authorities. They may however be tempted to stop using the face mask as it is perceived as the least favourable to practice. Practice of SD is generally most difficult in crowded places where there is lack of physical space and is most crowded such as markets. Recommendation Localities with difficulties in implementing SD and should be looked into to avoid possible infections and enforce the use of mask in public.

description: With the goal of determining the $θ_{13}$ neutrino oscillation mixing angle, the measurements of reactor antineutrino fluxes at the Double Chooz, RENO and Daya Bay experimental facilities have uncovered a systematic discrepancy between the number of observed events and theoretical expectations. In the \emph{ab initio} approach, the total reactor antineutrino spectrum is a weighted sum of spectra resulting from all $β$ branches of all fission products in the reactor core. At all three facilities a systematic deviation of the number of observed events from the number of predicted events was noticed, i.e., approximately 6\% of the predicted neutrinos were not observed. This discrepancy was named the reactor neutrino anomaly. In theoretical studies it is assumed that all the decays are allowed in shape, but a quarter of all transitions are actually forbidden and may have a complex energy dependence that will affect the total reactor antineutrino spectrum. In order to estimate the effect of forbidden transitions, we perform a fully self-consistent calculation of spectra from all contributing transitions and compare the results with a purely allowed approximation.
