description: Quasar spectra have a variety of absorption lines whose origins range from energetic winds expelled from the central engines to unrelated, intergalactic clouds. We present multi-epoch, medium resolution spectra of eight quasars at z~2 that have narrow ``associated'' absorption lines (AALs, within $\pm$5000 km s^{-1} of the emission redshift). Two of these quasars were also known previously to have high-velocity mini-broad absorption lines (mini-BALs). We use these data, spanning ~17 years in the observed frame with two to four observations per object, to search for line strength variations as an identifier of absorption that occurs physically near (``intrinsic'' to) the central AGN. Our main results are the following: Two out of the eight quasars with narrow AALs exhibit variable AAL strengths. Two out of two quasars with high-velocity mini-BALs exhibit variable mini-BAL strengths. We also marginally detect variability in a high-velocity narrow absorption line (NAL) system, blueshifted \~32,900 km s^{-1}$ with respect to the emission lines. No other absorption lines in these quasars appeared to vary. The outflow velocities of the variable AALs are 3140 km s^{-1} and 1490 km s^{-1}. The two mini-BALs identify much higher velocity outflows of ~28,400 km s^{-1} and ~52,000 km s^{-1}. Our temporal sampling yields upper limits on the variation time scales from 0.28 to 6.1 years in the quasar rest frames. The corresponding minimum electron densities in the variable absorbers, based on the recombination time scale, are \~40,000 cm^{-3} to ~1900 cm^{-3}. The maximum distances of the absorbers from the continuum source, assuming photoionization with no spectral shielding, range from ~1.8 kpc to ~7 kpc.

description: Atomic properties of S-like W are evaluated through a state-of-the-art method, namely, the multi-configuration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) method combined with the relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) approach. The level energies, wavelengths, and transition parameters involving the 88 lowest levels of W$^{+58}$ (W LIX) are calculated. We discuss in detail the relative importance of the valence- and core-valence electron correlation effects, the Breit interaction, the higher order retardation correction beyond the Breit interaction through the transverse photon interaction, and the quantum electrodynamical (QED) corrections. The present level energies are highly accurate, with uncertainties close to what can be achieved from spectroscopy. As such, they provide benchmark tests for other theoretical calculations of S-like W and should assist the spectroscopists in their assignment/identification of observed lines in complex spectra.

description: Molecules are created from a Bose-Einstein condensate of atomic 87Rb using a Feshbach resonance. A Stern-Gerlach field is applied, in order to spatially separate the molecules from the remaining atoms. For detection, the molecules are converted back into atoms, again using the Feshbach resonance. The measured position of the molecules yields their magnetic moment. This quantity strongly depends on the magnetic field, thus revealing an avoided crossing of two bound states at a field value slightly below the Feshbach resonance. This avoided crossing is exploited to trap the molecules in one dimension.

description: We present an equation of state for elastic matter which allows for purely longitudinal elastic waves in all propagation directions, not just principal directions. The speed of these waves is equal to the speed of light whereas the transversal type speeds are also very high, comparable to but always strictly less than that of light. Clearly such an equation of state does not give a reasonable matter description for the crust of a neutron star, but it does provide a nice causal toy model for an extremely rigid phase in a neutron star core, should such a phase exist. Another reason for focusing on this particular equation of state is simply that it leads to a very simple recipe for finding stationary rigid motion exact solutions to the Einstein equations. In fact, we show that a very large class of stationary spacetimes with constant Ricci scalar can be interpreted as rigid motion solutions with this matter source. We use the recipe to derive a static spherically symmetric exact solution with constant energy density, regular centre and finite radius, having a nontrivial parameter that can be varied to yield a mass-radius curve from which stability can be read off. It turns out that the solution is stable down to a tenuity R/M slightly less than 3. The result of this static approach to stability is confirmed by a numerical determination of the fundamental radial oscillation mode frequency. We also present another solution with outwards decreasing energy density. Unfortunately, this solution only has a trivial scaling parameter and is found to be unstable.

description: Falling Exports More Than Offset Production Declines to Raise Per Capita Availability Domestic availability of vegetables grew slightly in 2017, due primarily to a steep decrease in exports. Per capita availability of fresh vegetables in the United States climbed to 188 pounds; up about 1 pound from 2016 levels. Similarly, per capita availability of processed vegetables grew to just over 200 pounds; up just over 3 pounds from the previous year. Export volumes for both fresh and processed vegetables fell in 2017, while import levels rose for fresh vegetables and remained relatively steady in the processed market. Lower exports, plus a large amount of beginning stocks of canned vegetables, helped to raise per capita availability and put downward pressure on the price of processed vegetables. Overall domestic fresh vegetable production was down approximately 2 percent in 2017 from the previous year, and processed vegetables were down over 12 percent from 2016 levels. Crop yields were hindered by unpredictable weather patterns, which lowered 2017 production of fresh and processed vegetables. Through early 2018, weather in major crop areas of California points to boosted yield potential, which, when coupled with current acreage, indicates higher production of fresh-market and processed vegetables. Additionally, imports for 2018 show continued signs of growth. Exports of fresh vegetables also seem poised to surpass 2017 levels, while exports of processed vegetables remain depressed. In 2017, dry conditions in key production regions sapped yields for nearly all pulse crops, driving down production. Despite reduced drought concerns, pulses planted area is forecast down in 2018. All dry bean area is forecast to decline by 7 percent, while dry peas and lentils planted areas are projected down 20 and 28 percent, respectively. Only chickpea planted area is forecast to rise, up 7 percent from 2017. Gains in chickpea area come despite the Indian Government’s imposition of tariffs on dry peas and lentils, which has dramatically affected U.S. exports to the country.

description: Using quasiparticle models and imposing thermodynamic consistency, lattice data for the equation of state of deconfined QCD can be mapped to finite chemical potential. We consider a refinement of existing simple massive quasiparticle models using the non-local hard-thermal-loop (HTL) propagators, and certain NLO corrections thereof, to obtain the thermodynamic potential as a function of temperature and chemical potential. At small chemical potential we find that the results for the slope of constant pressure from our main model for 2 massless quark flavors is in good agreement with recent lattice data for 2+1 flavors while it deviates somewhat from lattice data for 2 flavors from another group. For zero temperature, we obtain an estimate for the critical chemical potential which is close to that obtained from simpler quasiparticle models.

Then we will apply this model for description of two dimensional bosonic string theory. We will find that the background configuration with the spatial dependent linear dilaton, flat spacetime metric and marginal tachyon profile is the exact solution of our model even if we take into account backreaction of tachyon on dilaton and metric.

HARDWOOD REVOLUTION: THE NBA’S GROWTH AND PLAYER REVOLT, 1950-1976
Creators: name: Harris, Curtis Matthew
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In the mid-twentieth century, professional basketball underwent a series of changes that revolutionized the sport. Although pro basketball began in the late 1890s, no one authority or cabal had been able to control the institution even as important changes in race relations, technology, and society began nationalizing the sport during the 1930s and 1940s. The founding of the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 1949 was a premature declaration of control over the revolutionary changes underway. The NBA’s initial consensus that tightly controlled labor, expelled small cities from major-league basketball, and dithered on confronting racism, reached its apex in the late 1950s. However, even during this period the consensus was questioned and challenged. Founded in 1954, the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) was subsequently fueled by an injection of anti-segregation protests from its Black players and was in open revolt against the NBA by the mid-1960s. The union had never acquiesced to and would no longer tolerate the 1949 consensus. Fortuitously for these laborers, opportunistic businessmen via the American Basketball Association (ABA) joined the revolutionary fray hoping to carve out a space for new league to challenge the NBA’s monopoly.Ultimately, through impressive interracial labor action that stymied and defeated NBA ownership politically and legally, a new consensus was agreed to in 1976. Albeit under onerous terms, the ABA merged with the NBA ending business competition. Meanwhile, the NBPA legitimized the NBA’s monopoly. In exchange the NBA guaranteed its laborers generous pensions, medical care, and the right to free agency. Although owner-labor conflicts would continuously arise over the ensuing decades, the basic operational template for pro basketball was set. For nearly 50 years, the NBA and NBPA have gone unchallenged in their dual domination of professional basketball’s business and labor apparatus since the 1976 consensus concluded the vicious labor and racial disputes of the hardwood revolution.
A brief remark on Unruh effect and causality

description: Unruh effect states that the vacuum of a quantum field theory on Minkovski space-time looks like a thermal state for an eternal uniformly accelerated observer. Adaptation to the non eternal case causes a serious problem: if the thermalization of the vacuum depends on the lifetime of the observer, then in principle the latest is able to deduce its lifetime from the measurement of the temperature. This short note aims at underlining that time-energy uncertainty relation allows to adapt Unruh effect to non-eternal observers without breaking causality. In particular we show that our adaptation - the diamonds's temperature- of Bisognano-Wichman approach to Unruh effect is causally acceptable. This note is self-contained but it is fully meaningful as a complement to gr-qc/0212074 as well as a comment on gr-qc/0306022.

description: The literature on the rural non-farm economy and non-farm employment often neglects agricultural wage employment. This neglect is rooted in the idea that such employment cannot significantly contribute to household welfare and rural development because it is a low-return and insecure type of employment. In this paper we specifically focus on off-farm wage employment, disentangle different employment sectors, and estimate the impact on household welfare. We use two-round panel data from Senegal, and fixed effects regressions and differencing techniques. We use static as well as intertemporal measures of welfare. We find that entry into wage employment increases per capita income with 140%, smoothens income significantly, reduces the likelihood to be poor with 34% points and the likelihood to become or remain poor with 16%. Despite substantially lower wages for casual and agricultural employment, we find substantial income-enhancing and poverty-reducing effects of such employment. Casual employment is found to at first smooth incomes and to then boost incomes either through upward employment mobility to higher-return jobs or through relaxing investment constraints and increased income from self-employment. We conclude that jobs are important for rural development as they both smooth and boost rural incomes; that the agricultural sector can be an important source of jobs; and that casual jobs can be an important source of upward income mobility. The paper corroborates claims on the importance of the rural non-farm economy but refutes the idea of casual or agricultural employment not contributing to household welfare and rural development. This calls for a reconsideration of the definition of the rural non-farm economy to include agricultural wage employment as a full component.

description: We study the energy loss of a heavy quark propagating in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in the framework of the Moller theory, including possible large Coulomb logarithms as a perturbation to BDMPSZ bremsstrahlung, described in the Harmonic Oscillator (HO) approximation. We derive the analytical expression that describes the energy loss in the entire emitted gluon frequency region. In the small frequencies region, for angles larger than the dead cone angle, the energy loss is controlled by the BDMPSZ mechanism, while for larger frequencies it is described by N=1 term in the GLV opacity expansion. We estimate corresponding quenching rates for different values of the heavy quark path and different $m/E$ ratios.

description: In a household, female labor force participation has important consequences for the household production processes. As a result of the decision to participate more money is coming into the household, but less time is available to spend on housework and leisure activities. The objective of this paper is to estimate household cost functions and the shodaw price assigned by households to housework. We assume that these concepts are significantly different in families where both spouses are participating in the labor force, and those where only one of them is participating. Hence they depend on the discrete choice of the household whether the female will participate or not. We describe the behavior of the household by means of two distinct r6gimes and an endogenous switchig equation explaning the participation decision. Some of the basic determinants of the participation decision are: number of children at home, the age of the female and the income opportunities for the female. The two rftimes are both described by the simultaneous equation model explaning the labor supply, the hours spent on household work by both partners and the shadow price assigned to housework. The model is estimated on a large data base containing 4000 households, collected in the Netherlands in 1983.

description: The effects of Gaussian quark-field smearing and analytic stout-link smearing on the correlations of gauge-invariant extended baryon operators are studied. Gaussian quark-field smearing substantially reduces contributions from the short wavelength modes of the theory, while stout-link smearing significantly reduces the noise from the stochastic evaluations. The use of gauge-link smearing is shown to be crucial for baryon operators constructed of covariantly-displaced quark fields. Preferred smearing parameters are determined for a lattice spacing a_s ~ 0.1 fm.

description: As superconducting qubits continue to advance technologically, the realization of quantum algorithms from theoretical abstraction to physical implementation requires knowledge of both quantum circuit construction as well as hardware limitations. In this study we present results from experiments run on IBM's 20-qubit `Poughkeepsie' architecture, with the goal of demonstrating various qubit qualities and challenges that arise in designing quantum algorithms. These include experimentally measuring $T_1$ and $T_2$ coherence times, gate fidelities, sequential CNOT gates, techniques for handling ancilla qubits, and finally CCNOT and QFT$^{\dagger}$ circuits implemented on several different qubit geometries. Our results demonstrate various techniques for improving quantum circuits which must compensate for limited connectivity, either through the use of SWAP gates or additional ancilla qubits.

description: Genus Latereschara d’ Orbigny, 1852
(Figure 17)
 Type species
 Eschara achates d’ Orbigny, 1851, by monotypy. Late Cretaceous, Senonian [?Coniacian], Fécamp, Seine Maritime, Normandy, France.
 Diagnosis
Colony erect, bifoliate, palmate (Figure 17 (a)). Autozooids hexagonal; zooidal boundaries raised. Cryptocyst extensive, depressed, granular. Gymnocyst lacking. Opesia subterminal, occupying about half of frontal surface, circular or longitudinally elliptical (Figure 17 (b)). Ovicells unknown. Avicularia vicarious, symmetrical, about the same length of an autozooid but slightly narrower, occupying lateral edges of branches (Figure 17 (c)); opesia longitudinally arch shaped; rostrum triangular, moderately short.
 Remarks
 The type species of this genus was redescribed by Gordon and Taylor (2005) based on a study of d’ Orbigny’ s type material. Brydone (1930) attributed five species from the English Chalk to Latereschara, none having the distinctive marginal avicularia exhibited by the type species. Material from the Turonian of Bohemia identified by Zágoršek and Vodrážka (2006) as Latereschara achates also lacks the characteristic marginal avicularia and may belong to a different species. Contrary to Voigt (1959, p. 10), there is little justification for assigning Eschara galeata von Hagenow, 1846 to Latereschara as this species also lacks marginal avicularia and has semielliptical rather than rounded opesiae. The elimination of these species leaves Latereschara monospecific for L. achates.
 Range
Cretaceous (?Coniacian).

Evaluation of Treatment Components of a Smoking Cessation Program for Veterans with Serious Mental Illness
Creators: name: Stahl, Naomi
Publisher: name: American University

description: High cigarette smoking rates pose serious health risks for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI). Despite being as motivated to quit smoking as the general population, quit rates are lower and less research is focused on identifying effective smoking cessation interventions for individuals with SMI. This secondary data analysis examined the effectiveness of treatment components within a multifaceted smoking cessation intervention developed for Veterans with SMI (Bennett et al., 2015). The intervention offered five treatment components: (1) group sessions, (2) smoking cessation pharmacotherapy, (3) outreach contacts, (4) medication education sessions, (5) MI sessions. Participants could self-select use and dose of each treatment component. Attending a greater number of group sessions was significantly associated with lower nicotine dependence, greater abstinence self-efficacy, fewer cigarettes smoked per day, and greater likelihood of reporting a reduction in smoking post-intervention. Using a greater number of NRT/medications was significantly associated with lower nicotine dependence, fewer cigarettes smoked per day, greater confidence in quitting smoking, greater likelihood of reporting no smoking in the past week or month, and greater likelihood of reporting plans to quit smoking in the next month. Engaging in a greater number of medication education sessions was significantly associated with greater smoking reduction and fewer cigarettes smoked per post-intervention. Using a greater number of outreach contacts and MI sessions were not associated with any outcomes on smoking measures. Using a greater number of treatment components was associated with significantly lower nicotine dependence, fewer cigarettes smoked per day, and greater intentions to quit smoking in the next month, as compared to using fewer treatment components. Lastly, using a greater number of treatment encounters was associated with significantly lower nicotine dependence, fewer cigarettes smoked per day, and greater smoking reduction, as compared to using fewer treatment encounters. Smokers with SMI can engage in a multicomponent smoking cessation intervention and reduce their smoking. Future studies should explore creative ways to incorporate shared decision-making into smoking cessation intervention development for individuals with SMI.

description: By far the most efficient methods for global optimization are based on starting a local optimization routine from an appropriate subset of uniformly distributed starting points. As the number of local optima is frequently unknown in advance, it is a crucial problem when to stop the sequence of sampling and searching. By viewing a set of observed minima as a sample from a generalized multinomial distribution whose cells correspond to the local optima of the objective function, we obtain the posterior distribution of the number of local optima and of the relative size of their regions of attraction. This information is used to construct sequential Bayesian stopping rules which find the optimal trade off between reliability and computational effort.

description: Graph vertex sampling set selection aims at selecting a set of ver-tices of a graph such that the space of graph signals that can be reconstructed exactly from those samples alone is maximal. In this context, we propose to extend sampling set selection based on spectral proxies to arbitrary Hilbert spaces of graph signals. Enabling arbitrary inner product of graph signals allows then to better account for vertex importance on the graph for a sampling adapted to the application. We first state how the change of inner product impacts sampling set selection and reconstruction, and then apply it in the context of geometric graphs to highlight how choosing an alternative inner product matrix can help sampling set selection and reconstruction.

description: The more successful methods for unconstrained global optimization of an arbitrary multimodal objective function are of a stochastic nature and involve a combination of sampling and local search techniques. In this class, the recently developed Multi Level Single Linkage method combines attractive theoretical properties with excellent computational properties. We describe this method below, and discuss its computational behaviour and its extension to constrained global optimization.

description: HD 199143 and HD 358623 (BD-17 6128) are two sets of binary stars which are physically associated and 48 pc from Earth. We present heliocentric radial velocities and high lithium abundances which establish these stars as members of the 12 Myr-old Beta Pictoris Moving Group. We also present mid-IR photometric measurements which show no firm evidence for warm dust around all four stars.

description: High cigarette smoking rates pose serious health risks for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI). Despite being as motivated to quit smoking as the general population, quit rates are lower and less research is focused on identifying effective smoking cessation interventions for individuals with SMI. This secondary data analysis examined the effectiveness of treatment components within a multifaceted smoking cessation intervention developed for Veterans with SMI (Bennett et al., 2015). The intervention offered five treatment components: (1) group sessions, (2) smoking cessation pharmacotherapy, (3) outreach contacts, (4) medication education sessions, (5) MI sessions. Participants could self-select use and dose of each treatment component. Attending a greater number of group sessions was significantly associated with lower nicotine dependence, greater abstinence self-efficacy, fewer cigarettes smoked per day, and greater likelihood of reporting a reduction in smoking post-intervention. Using a greater number of NRT/medications was significantly associated with lower nicotine dependence, fewer cigarettes smoked per day, greater confidence in quitting smoking, greater likelihood of reporting no smoking in the past week or month, and greater likelihood of reporting plans to quit smoking in the next month. Engaging in a greater number of medication education sessions was significantly associated with greater smoking reduction and fewer cigarettes smoked per post-intervention. Using a greater number of outreach contacts and MI sessions were not associated with any outcomes on smoking measures. Using a greater number of treatment components was associated with significantly lower nicotine dependence, fewer cigarettes smoked per day, and greater intentions to quit smoking in the next month, as compared to using fewer treatment components. Lastly, using a greater number of treatment encounters was associated with significantly lower nicotine dependence, fewer cigarettes smoked per day, and greater smoking reduction, as compared to using fewer treatment encounters. Smokers with SMI can engage in a multicomponent smoking cessation intervention and reduce their smoking. Future studies should explore creative ways to incorporate shared decision-making into smoking cessation intervention development for individuals with SMI.

Effective momentum-momentum coupling in a correlated electronic system

description: We present a way of partly reincorporate the effects of the localized bonding electrons on the dynamics of their itinerant counterparts in Hubbard-like Hamiltonians. This is done by relaxing the constraint that the former should be entirely frozen in the chemical bonds between the underlying lattice sites through the employment of a Born-Oppenheimer-like ansatz for the wavefunction of the whole electronic system. Accordingly, the latter includes itinerant as well as bonding electron coordinates. Going beyond the adiabatic approximation, we show that the net effect of virtual transitions of bonding electrons between their ground and excited states is to furnish the itinerant electrons with an effective inter-electronic momentum-momentum interaction. Although we have applied these ideas to the specific case of rings, our assumptions can be generalized to higher dimensional systems sharing the required properties of which we have made use herein.

Non-Universal Gaugino Masses and the Fate of mu -> e gamma

description: We study charged lepton flavor violating processes in the context of supersymmetric models with non-universal gaugino masses. We consider the generic case of free gaugino masses, as well as specific models based on gaugino mediation and SU(5) GUTs. Under the assumption that the main source of lepton flavor violation resides in the off-diagonal elements of the left handed slepton mass matrix, we show that BR(mu->e gamma) strongly depends on gaugino non-universality. When M_1 and M_2 have opposite signs, cancellations occurring between the neutralino and the chargino contributions can suppress, even completely, the branching ratio of charged lepton flavor violating decays. Moreover, we find that for M_3> M_2,M_1, BR(mu->e gamma) is an increasing function of M_3.

Relational interdependent self-construal and friendship maintenance in adulthood

description: Friendship is a critical but understudied component of the social lives of adults. Despite the association of friendship with many positive wellbeing outcomes, maintaining friendships in adulthood is challenging. To better understand why adult friendships often breakdown, I assessed what characteristics may lead to successful friendship maintenance in a proposed two-step process of 1) reaching out to a friend to make plans with them and 2) following through on those plans. In a series of two studies, the main characteristic investigated was relational interdependent self-construal (RISC), or how much a person includes their relationships into their self-concept. Additional variables included how much a person’s self-worth was contingent on their friends and self-efficacy in the friendship maintenance situations. The correlational results from both studies suggest that those higher in RISC were more likely to initiate communication with a friend to make plans. Additionally, feeling greater self-efficacy in both initiation and follow through scenarios was related to reporting a greater likelihood of performing those behaviors. Lastly, how likely a person was to follow through on plans may depend on their level of RISC and the degree their self-worth was contingent on friends, but some inconsistencies between studies made these relationships less certain. This is the first study that has examined if RISC influences the success of this two-step friendship maintenance process that seems common in adult life. My findings suggest that those higher in RISC may be better at maintaining their friendships and greater understanding of this construct could provide methods for strengthening friendships in adulthood.

description: We study the discrete Gierer-Meinhardt model of reaction-diffusion on three different types of networks: regular, random and scale-free. The model dynamics lead to the formation of stationary Turing patterns in the steady state in certain parameter regions. Some general features of the patterns are studied through numerical simulation. The results for the random and scale-free networks show a marked difference from those in the case of the regular network. The difference may be ascribed to the small world character of the first two types of networks.
