Philopterus reguli

description: Philopterus reguli (Denny, 1842)
Material examined
Holotype [UNITED KINGDOM] • ♀; H. Denny leg.; ex Regulus regulus; NHML NHMUK010710741, ecat. 8192226.
Misidentified material
The following additional specimens deposited in NHML are designated as Ph. reguli but in fact they represent some other Ischnocerans not belonging to Philopterus complex:
Ex Troglodytes troglodytes (Linnaeus, 1758) (labeled as Troglodytes vulgaris): 1 ♂, collected in 1911 without further specification, other collecting data unknown, NHML NHMUK010646434, ecat. 7988337 • 1 ♂; collected in 1914 without further specification, other collecting data unknown; NHML NHMUK010646435, ecat. 7994159 • 1 ♀; same collection data as for preceding; NHML NHMUK010646436, ecat. 7996801.
Hosts
Type host
Regulus aurocapillus = Regulus regulus regulus (Linnaeus, 1758) – probably it is a straggler from another host.
Distribution
Type locality
United Kingdom (without futher specification).
Other published locations
Ex Regulus regulus – Azerbaijan (Blagoveshtchensky 1940 – as Ph. subflavescens), Bulgaria (Balat 1958), Czechia (Balat 1977), Faroe Islands (Palma & Jensen 2005), Finland (Hackman 1994), France (Seguy 1944), Germany (Mey 2003), Hungary (Vas et al. 2012b), Kyrgyzstan (Kravtsova 1998), Poland (Złotorzycka 1964, Złotorzycka & Lucińska 1976), Romania (Bechet 1961), Tajikistan (Blagoveshtchensky 1951 – as Ph. subflavescens), Sweden (Ash 1960), Turkey (Dik et al. 2017), Ukraine (Fedorenko 1987); Ex Regulus ignicapillus – Romania (Negru 1958 and Adam & Sandor 2004).
Remarks
Because the name Ph. reguli appeared to belong to morphologically different species than is commonly found on the type host, it is possible that all the published locations actually refer to Ph. gustafssoni sp. nov. However, none of the above cited publications refers to any concrete specimen, so we are not able to track them and prove their determination.

description: The first determination of the nuclear charge radius by laser spectroscopy for a five-electron system is reported. This is achieved by combining high-accuracy ab initio mass-shift calculations and a high-resolution measurement of the isotope shift in the $2s^2 2p\, ^2\mathrm{P}_{1/2} \rightarrow 2s^2 3s\, ^2\mathrm{S}_{1/2}$ ground state transition in boron atoms. Accuracy is increased by orders of magnitude for the stable isotopes $^{10,11}$B and the results are used to extract their difference in the mean-square charge radius $\langle r^2_\mathrm{c}\rangle^{11} - \langle r^2_\mathrm{c}\rangle^{10} = -0.49\,(12)\,\mathrm{fm}^2$. The result is qualitatively explained by a possible cluster structure of the boron nuclei and quantitatively used as a benchmark for new ab initio nuclear structure calculations using the no-core shell model and Green's function Monte Carlo approaches.

description: In most inflationary models, space-time inflated to the extent that modes of cosmological size originated as modes of wavelengths at least several orders of magnitude smaller than the Planck length. Recent studies confirmed that, therefore, inflationary predictions for the cosmic microwave background perturbations are generally sensitive to what is assumed about the Planck scale. Here, we propose a framework for field theories on curved backgrounds with a plausible type of ultraviolet cutoff. We find an explicit mechanism by which during cosmic expansion new (comoving) modes are generated continuously. Our results allow the numerical calculation of a prediction for the CMB perturbation spectrum.

It is shown that $ϕ_0$- periodicity is restored, if there is tunneling of composite fermions between the edges of the annulus.

From Classical to Quantum Mechanics: "How to translate physical ideas into mathematical language"
Creators: name: Bergeron, H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we investigate the connection between Classical and Quantum Mechanics by dividing Quantum Theory in two parts: - General Quantum Axiomatics (a system is described by a state in a Hilbert space, observables are self-adjoint operators and so on) - Quantum Mechanics properly that specifies the Hilbert space, the Heisenberg rule, the free Hamiltonian... We show that General Quantum Axiomatics (up to a supplementary "axiom of classicity") can be used as a non-standard mathematical ground to formulate all the ideas and equations of ordinary Classical Statistical Mechanics. So the question of a "true quantization" with "h" must be seen as an independent problem not directly related with quantum formalism. Moreover, this non-standard formulation of Classical Mechanics exhibits a new kind of operation with no classical counterpart: this operation is related to the "quantization process", and we show why quantization physically depends on group theory (Galileo group). This analytical procedure of quantization replaces the "correspondence principle" (or canonical quantization) and allows to map Classical Mechanics into Quantum Mechanics, giving all operators of Quantum Mechanics and Schrodinger equation. Moreover spins for particles are naturally generated, including an approximation of their interaction with magnetic fields. We find also that this approach gives a natural semi-classical formalism: some exact quantum results are obtained only using classical-like formula. So this procedure has the nice property of enlightening in a more comprehensible way both logical and analytical connection between classical and quantum pictures.

description: The research outputs produced by local universities and research institutions in Somalia are not open to local and global audiences. This has minimized the visibility and impacts of the local research outputs as well as its results. The already limited research outputs of local institutions were not adequately showcased to interested constituencies and citizens outside academic institutions. This has negatively branded the local institutions as in-competent to produce any form of research content. The printed copies of students' theses and dissertations were archived inside the university, and nobody saw them after their defending day. SORER is open access self-archiving multi-institutional digital repository system that enables Somali higher education and research institutions to host their research and educational resources for greater visibility and increased access. The descriptive details about the uploaded resources will be made available to Google and other search engines. SORER is implemented and operated by Somali Research and Education Network (SomaliREN) as one of its key mission to improve and facilitate research work among Somali higher education and research institutions. AII universities and research institutions will contribute to the SORER platform and provide all Open Access. The project aims to assist our research and higher education institutions in increasing their research output and encouraging local content production.
The onset of the AGB wind tied to a transition between sequences in the period-luminosity diagram
Creators: name: McDonald, Iain

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We link the onset of pulsation-enhanced, dust-driven winds from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Magellanic Clouds to the star's transition between period--luminosity sequences (from B to C'). This transition occurs at ~60 days for solar-mass stars, which represent the bulk of the AGB population: this is the same period at which copious dust production starts in solar-neighbourhood AGB stars. It is contemporaneous with the onset of long-secondary period (LSP) variability on sequence D. The combined amplitude of the first-overtone (B+C') and fundamental (C) modes and (perhaps) long-secondary period (D; LSP) variability appears to drive a sudden increase in mass-loss rate to a stable plateau, previously identified to be a few x 10^-7 solar masses per year. We cite this as evidence that pulsations are necessary to initiate mass loss from AGB stars and that these pulsations are significant in controlling stars' mass-loss rates. We also show evidence that LSPs may evolve from long to short periods as the star evolves, counter to the other period-luminosity sequences.

description: If we reduce coherence in a given quantum system, the result is an increase in entropy. Does this necessarily convert this quantum system into a classical system? The answer to this question is No. The decrease of coherence means more uncertainty. This does not seem to make the system closer to classical system where there are no uncertainties. We examine the problem using two coupled harmonic oscillators where we make observations on one of them while the other oscillator is assumed to be unobservable or to be in Feynman's rest of the universe. Our ignorance about the rest of the universe causes an increase in entropy. However, does the system act like a classical system? The answer is again No. When and how does this system appear like a classical system? It is shown that this paradox can be resolved only if measurements are taken along the normal coordinates. It is also shown that Feynman's parton picture is one concrete physical example of this decoherence mechanism.

We motivate this work in the context of broader goals in the field to achieve more explainability in AI.

Experiencing the Trinity Test in New Mexico

description: What is a ghost? Is it a continuing spirit through time that refuses to die? If so, that is what my book, The Manhattan Project Trinity Test: Witnessing the Bomb in New Mexico, is about—the legacy of the first atomic bomb, set off in the southern New Mexico desert, 5:29:45 a.m. on July 16, 1945. Known as the Trinity Test, this event, happening almost 80 years ago, has been called the dawn of the nuclear age.



For the 60th anniversary of that first atomic bomb in 2005, the newspaper I was working for, the Alamogordo Daily News, brought the staff together to dig out the stories our paper had printed regarding the event and to write new stories for a special edition. I put together a replica of the front page of that long-ago style of the paper, bringing all those elements together. It was that project which made me realize as the event falls back into history, those people who experienced it and were affected by it are rapidly disappearing. Thus, the idea for the book was born and I started talking with those who remember and who are still alive today as well as their children. I also worked to unearth the words and experiences of those no longer alive—the scientists and journalists, for example, who had left written accounts and other pieces to sort through.

description: The properties of Bose-Einstein condensed gases can be strongly altered by tuning the external magnetic field near a Feshbach resonance. Feshbach resonances affect elastic collisions and lead to the observed modification of the scattering length. However, as we report here, this is accompanied by a strong increase in the rate of inelastic collisions. The observed three-body loss rate in a sodium Bose-Einstein condensation increased when the scattering length was tuned to both larger or smaller values than the off-resonant value. This observation and the maximum measured increase of the loss rate by several orders of magnitude are not accounted for by theoretical treatments. The strong losses impose severe limitations for using Feshbach resonances to tune the properties of Bose-Einstein condensates. A new Feshbach resonance in sodium at 1195 G was observed.

Spectrum-Diverse Neuroevolution with Unified Neural Models

description: Learning algorithms are being increasingly adopted in various applications. However, further expansion will require methods that work more automatically. To enable this level of automation, a more powerful solution representation is needed. However, by increasing the representation complexity a second problem arises. The search space becomes huge and therefore an associated scalable and efficient searching algorithm is also required. To solve both problems, first a powerful representation is proposed that unifies most of the neural networks features from the literature into one representation. Secondly, a new diversity preserving method called Spectrum Diversity is created based on the new concept of chromosome spectrum that creates a spectrum out of the characteristics and frequency of alleles in a chromosome. The combination of Spectrum Diversity with a unified neuron representation enables the algorithm to either surpass or equal NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) on all of the five classes of problems tested. Ablation tests justifies the good results, showing the importance of added new features in the unified neuron representation. Part of the success is attributed to the novelty-focused evolution and good scalability with chromosome size provided by Spectrum Diversity. Thus, this study sheds light on a new representation and diversity preserving mechanism that should impact algorithms and applications to come.

description: We extend our study of deriving the local gauge invariance with spontaneous symmetry breaking in the context of an effective field theory by considering self-interactions of the scalar field and inclusion of the electromagnetic interaction. By analyzing renormalizability and the scale separation conditions of three-, four- and five-point vertex functions of the scalar field, we fix the two couplings of the scalar field self-interactions of the leading order Lagrangian. Next we add the electromagnetic interaction and derive conditions relating the magnetic moment of the charged vector boson to its charge and the masses of the charged and neutral massive vector bosons to each other and the two independent couplings of the theory. We obtain the bosonic part of the Lagrangian of the electroweak Standard Model as a unique solution to the conditions imposed by the self-consistency conditions of the considered effective field theory.

description: In large-scale agile projects, product owners undertake a range of challenging and varied activities beyond those conventionally associated with that role. Using in-depth research interviews from 93 practitioners working in cross-border teams, from 21 organisations, our rich empirical data offers a unique international perspective into product owner activities. We found that the leaders of large-scale agile projects create product owner teams. Product owner team members undertake sponsor, intermediary and release plan master activities to manage scale. They undertake communicator and traveller activities to manage distance and technical architect, governor and risk assessor activities to manage governance. Based on our findings, we describe product owner behaviors that are valued by experienced product owners and their line managers.

description: We study the subgap transport properties of a small capacitance normal metal-superconductor tunnel junction coupled to an external electromagnetic environment. Mesoscopic interference between the electrons in the normal metal strongly enhances the subgap conductance with decreasing bias voltage. On the other hand, quantum fluctuations of the environment destroy electronic phase coherence and suppress the subgap conductance at low bias (Coulomb blockade).The competition between charging effects and mesoscopic interference leads to a non-monotonic dependence of the differential subgap conductance on the applied bias voltage. This feature is pronounced, even if the coupling to the environment is weak and the charging energy is small.

description: This PhD thesis consists on a study of the atmospheric dynamics of the planet Venus with data from two space missions separated in time: the Galileo mission and Venus Express. Concretely, images obtained with different wavelengths have been used to study the motions of the clouds at different vertical levels of the atmosphere, enabling to track the global atmospheric dynamics of the planet. In this thesis simultaneous measurements of the 3-dimensional structure of the winds are presented for the first time, finding and analyzing different sources of temporal variability such as the thermal waves produced by the solar insolation, global oscillations of the wind speeds and variability for periods covering from months to years. Furthermore, a study of the spatial scales of the Venusian clouds and the atmospheric turbulence have been undertaken. Frequent periodic patterns can be also seen on the lower clouds of Venus in high spatial resolution images from the instrument VIRTIS onboard Venus Express. These correspond to a type of atmospheric waves called gravity waves, and their characteristics and role in te atmospheric dynamics of Venus are analyzed at the end of the thesis.

description: The following is an excerpt from our ongoing project on the Brennilis plant in the Monts d’Arrée in Finistère, France, which has been a nuclear ghost since 1985. The project combines photography, interviews, and philosophical reflections. It aims to show how the myths and legends of Brittany (France) overlap with the lifeworlds of inhabitants around the Brennilis plant in an effort to highlight the impact nuclear technology has on its surrounding area. We juxtapose this documentation with sociological, philosophical, and literary reflections. In converging these elements the project combines each aspect to create something new altogether. Our approach is echoed by the use of Lomography, a photographic technique that admits flaws and blurs, heavy vignettes, unusual lightening, apparitions and tinctures, illuminating those haunting aspects and ghostly traces in lived environments less obvious to the unmediated eye. As typical with all ghostly matters, ours is a work still in progress.

The non-cubic dependence of the swept mass with the advancing radius is also considered. We derive the equation of motion for the thin layer approximation in special relativity in two cases. The initial conditions are chosen in order to model the temporal evolution of SN 1987A over 23 years and of SN 1006 over 1000 years. We review the building blocks of the symmetrical and asymmetrical formations of the image.

Though provoked by the war in Ukraine, the many bewildered and shocked responses to the PSA revealed that a ‘return’ to fears of nuclear war was unimaginable for most New Yorkers, not to say most Americans. At the same time, reporting on this PSA from countless news outlets contained a curious detail: journalists were identified not merely by reporting agency, but through short bios filled with personal details about hobbies, family, and pets, among other things. This paper begins with the contrast between ‘unimaginable’ nuclear disaster and the need to foreground personal details in otherwise impersonal discourse. This contradiction between the unimaginable and impersonal confronts a demand to make things ‘relatable’ and intimate. Drawing on my previous arguments about ‘negative hauntology,’ or a collapse of temporality that leads one to imagine that a future disaster has already happened, that one is always-already a victim of disaster, that one haunts one’s own present as a ghost, this paper frames how many relations today seem ghostly, a fact which emerges from the contradiction between the impersonal and personal. Drawing out how spectral apparitions have long been linked with the capacities and limitations of mediation, this paper argues that the specificity of ‘nuclear ghosts’ emerges at the intersection of mediating otherwise imperceptible, yet present dangers, and mediating perceptible, but distant others who are framed through banal, yet intimate traces.

Magnetic Deformation of Magnetars for the Giant Flares of the Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters

description: We present one possible mechanism for the giant flares of the Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters (SGRs) within the framework of magnetar, i.e., superstrongly magnetized neutron star model, motivated by the positive period increase associated with the August 27 event from SGR 1900+14. From the second-order perturbation analysis of the equilibrium of the magnetic polytrope, we find that there exist different equilibrium states separated by the energy of the giant flares and the shift in the moment of inertia to cause the period increase. This suggests that, if we assume that the global reconfiguration of the internal magnetic field of $H\simg 10^{16}$ G suddenly occurs, the positive period increase $ΔP_t/P_t \sim 10^{-4}$ as well as the energy $\simg 10^{44}$ ergs of the giant flares may be explained. The moment of inertia can increase with a release of energy, because the star shape deformed by the magnetic field can be prolate rather than oblate. In this mechanism, since the oscillation of the neutron star will be excited, a pulsation of $\sim$ ms period in the burst profile and an emission of the gravitational waves are expected. The gravitational waves could be detected by the planned interferometers such as LIGO, VIRGO and LCGT.

description: Le lait maternel est l’aliment de choix des nourrissons, qu’ils soient nés à terme ou avant le terme, car il est exactement adapté aux besoins nutritionnels de l’enfant. En France, le lait maternel est considéré comme un produit de santé. Il est donné directement de la mère au bébé par l’allaitement maternel au sein quand il est né à terme ou proche du terme et lorsqu’il est en capacité de téter. Pour les grands prématurés hospitalisés en néonatologie, le lait est recueilli par la mère par expression manuelle ou plus communément à l’aide d’un tire-lait. Il est administré à l’enfant avec un biberon ou par l’intermédiaire d’une sonde nasogastrique pour les grands prématurés. Pour ces derniers, le lait maternel peut être celui de leur propre mère ou bien le lait recueilli de dons d’autres mères. Ce lait est collecté par des lactariums à usage extérieur et intérieur. Le circuit du lait nécessite qu’une sécurité maximum soit mise en place car le risque de développement microbien est prépondérant. De ce fait la préparation, le conditionnement, la conservation et le transport sont encadrés par une réglementation exigeante et font l’objet de procédures et d’une surveillance précises. L’objectif de cet article est de faire le point sur la réglementation qui régit les lactariums, les conditions pour pouvoir être donneuse de lait, l’hygiène nécessaire à la donneuse, au recueil du lait et au traitement du lait par le lactarium.
Boundary Critical Phenomena in the Three-State Potts Model

description: Boundary critical phenomena are studied in the 3- State Potts model in 2 dimensions using conformal field theory, duality and renormalization group methods. A presumably complete set of boundary conditions is obtained using both fusion and orbifold methods. Besides the previously known free, fixed and mixed boundary conditions a new one is obtained. This illustrates the necessity of considering fusion with operators that don't occur in the bulk spectrum, to obtain all boundary conditions. It is shown that this new boundary condition is dual to the mixed ones. The phase diagram for the quantum chain version of the Potts model is analyzed using duality and renormalization group arguments.

’A New Chernobyl’: Narratives of Nuclear Contamination in Russia’s 2022-3 Ukraine War
Creators: name: Ferebee, K. M.
Publisher: name: Apocalyptica
Year: 2024

description: In January 2020, I visited the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone as part of research into contemporary narratives that characterized the Zone as a post-human area of timeless and infinitely abundant nature. By the time the resulting paper appeared, however, war had altered the stories being told about the Zone. As I wrote in an afterword, media narratives of the Russian invasion of Chornobyl transformed radioactivity itself into a natural and national part of the Ukrainian landscape, one that was by turns vulnerable (in need of defense and protection) and vengeful (punishing Russian intruders). But what does it mean for anthropogenic radioisotopes to be either ‘natural’ or ‘national’? How might such narratives destabilize readings of the nuclear as inherently disruptive and alien? And does this destabilization make possible new understandings of the Anthropocene as an era defined by the dispersal of anthropogenic radioisotopes? In this paper, I engage in close analysis of media narratives surrounding the Russian invasion of Chornobyl, drawing on both the nuclear humanities (particularly Joseph Masco's work on the "nuclear uncanny" and Kate Brown's history of Chornobyl) and human geography perspectives on the constitution of place. I ask what affordances emerge from a view of radiation as other than contaminating and what dangers might be present in the same claim.

Ordinary Hauntings in Irradiated Land
Creators: name: Karyl Franz, Marisa
Publisher: name: Apocalyptica
Year: 2024

description: Examining three art projects that rely upon the materiality of nuclear exclusion zones in Chornobyl and Fukushima, I propose a framework of haunting to understand how everyday things become saturated with the everyday lives of those who lived with them. These art pieces (Michael Marder and Anaïs Tondeur’s Chernobyl Herbarium, Eva and Franco Mattes’s Fukushima Texture Pack, and Ai Weiwei’s А Ray of Hope) do not represent or document the disaster as momentary or as spectacular, but as a slow durational violence that is experienced in the daily lives of people, the land, and the material things left behind after evacuation. Rather than an aestheticisation of disaster itself or of the Zones as post-apocalyptic pastoral, these works haunt us with the ordinary affect of human habitation in what are now exclusion zones and mourn the loss of a familiar and everyday place of home.

title: Macro-finance and the open economy
Creators: name: Hui, Xitong
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

description: This thesis studies macro-finance and the open economy. Chapter 1 analyzes whether rising asset prices make savers better off. I study the effect of fundamental drivers of rising asset prices (a fall in time discount rate, an increase in productivity, financial innovation, or a bubble driven by financial frictions) on top welfare inequality between super rich entrepreneurs and savers through leverage. Given the rising asset prices, falling risk-free rates, and rising top wealth inequality observed in the U.S., my theoretical model suggests that the falling time discount rate of the super-rich is the main driver of the trend, and therefore savers are worse off. Chapter 2 investigates sovereign bond safety. Using a continuous-time two-country Lucas tree model with equity constraint, this chapter argues that the country-size effect and the equity-rebalancing effect are the key determinants of sovereign bond safety. Model predictions also reconcile with the empirical facts of flight-to-safety and the covered interest parity (CIP) in both normal and crisis times. Chapter 3 focuses on equity rebalancing. Given the peak of country size of G-10 currency group relative to the US in 2008, the theoretical model accounts for 1) exchange rate risk hedging, 2) equity valuation and diversification 3) US net foreign asset position (NFA) changes, and 4) global wealth transfers, that are consistent with empirical facts, both before and after the Great Financial Crisis. Chapter 4 investigates international diversification. This chapter finds that small countries that are already largely exposed to international risk via trade and investment channel would find it optimal to find refuge in domestic equity and safe assets. Openness strengthens domestic equity and currency while illiquid international equity market weakens them.
Sudden Magnetization Drops in S/F bilayered Structures

description: We report in plane magnetization measurements on Nb/Co bilayers using a thin superconductor Nb$\sim25$ nm and a thick ferromagnet Co$\sim40-55$ nm where Bloch Domain Walls (BDW) are energetically favorable. Here sharp drops in the magnetization are explained as direct consequence of BDW stray fields that induce vortices in the out of plane direction. These are generated at small fields around the coercive field of the ferromagnet and removed at large fields of the order of $H_{c2}$. These two well distinctive magnetic states of the superconductor, with or without out of plane vortices, is the same mechanism used to explain the drops in critical currents reported in [E. J. Pati$ñ$o et. al., The European Physical Journal B 68, 73 (2009)]

Nuclear Temporalities
Creators: name: Schwab, Gabriele
Publisher: name: Apocalyptica
Year: 2024

description: The invention and unleashing of the first atomic weapons generated a historical rupture in the order of things that irrevocably changed the ways in which humans inhabit the world and experience time. The haunting knowledge of the power of nuclear weapons to potentially annihilate planetary life leaves a profound mark on human temporality and psychic life and creates transgenerational nuclear trauma. One of its effects is a subliminal, if not unconscious haunting from the future that overshadows human temporalities. Apart from this haunting from the future, nuclear temporalities also extend to sites of slow or structural nuclear violence. In my contribution, I will trace the entanglement between nuclear temporalities and nuclear subjectivities, including reflection on scale, deep time, nuclear half-life, temporal necropolitics, and psychic toxicity.

description: G111.256-0.770 is a high-mass young stellar object associated with a weak 6.7 GHz methanol maser showing strong variability. We present results of a multi-epoch monitoring program of the target, conducted with the Torun 32 m telescope for more than a decade. We found that the isotropic maser luminosity varied by a factor 16 on a timescale of 5-6 yr and individual features showed small amplitude short-lived (about 0.2 yr) bursts superimposed on higher amplitude slow (>5 yr) variations.

The Pikinni Ghost: Nuclear Hauntings and Spectral Decolonization in the Pacific
Creators: name: Hurley, Jessica
Publisher: name: Apocalyptica
Year: 2024

description: In his 1962 account of US nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands Neil O. Hines described irradiation as a practice of haunting, figuring radiation as “the faint footprints of the Bikini ghost” (72). This essay takes up the different conceptions of the ‘Bikini ghost’ constructed by the US nuclear complex and by Indigenous ri-M̧ajeļ to theorize nuclear decolonization in the Pacific as a mode of living with ghosts. The first part of the essay analyzes the 1957 return of the surviving members of the Ron̄ļap community to Ron̄ļap. In this repatriation the US was uncharacteristically concerned that the Native population would return to their ancestral lifeways; I read this concern as an attempt to exorcize the ‘ghost’ of radiation culturally in ways that could not be achieved physically, keeping alive the idea that radiation was non-apocalyptic at a key moment in Cold War nuclear debates. The second part of the essay analyzes Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner’s 2018 video poem Anointed as a decolonial approach to nuclear ghosts. Built around the image of the cracking Runit Dome, Anointed stages the return of the nuclear past: the nuclear materials that are literally seeping into the present through the cracks in the containment dome, and the histories of mundanely apocalyptic colonial violence that these materials both figure and perpetuate. While Western models of (nuclear) haunting insist that the ghost must be exorcized or contained, however, Jetñil-Kijiner reclaims the haunted oceanscape as a site of relation within Marshallese epistemologies to produce a resurgent decolonial reality that includes nuclear ghosts in its practices of care.
