description: Droughts, hurricanes and other environmental shocks punctuate the lives of poor and vulnerable populations in many parts of the world. The direct impacts can be horrific, but what are the longer-term effects of such shocks on households and their livelihoods? Under what circumstances, and for what types of households, will shocks push households into poverty traps from which recovery is not possible? In an effort to answer these questions, this paper analyzes the asset dynamics of Ethiopian and Honduran households in the wake of severe environmental shocks. While the patterns are different across countries, both reveal worlds in which the poorest households struggle most with shocks, adopting coping strategies which are costly in terms of both short term and long term well-being. There is some evidence that shocks threaten long term poverty traps and that they tend to militate against any tendency of the poor to catch up with wealthier households. Policy implications are discussed in terms of access to markets and the design of government safety net programs.
A computer-based system for construction quality management with application to highway pavements
Creators: name: Battikha, Mireille
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation describes the development of a computer-based system in support of construction quality management. The system tasks are derived from the elements of the ISO 9001 standard and are designed to integrate with existing computer-aided project management functions. They can assist management in: (1) the definition of requirements/criteria for design, construction, and quality management (2) the development of inspection and test plans; (3) the tracking of actual inspection/test results; (4) the verification of their conformance to defined criteria; (5) the documentation of predefined information for assisting the tasks involved; and, (6) the generation of reports and quality records for the information related to the foregoing tasks. A thorough literature survey has been conducted, and antecedent contributions in construction quality management have been examined and categorized according to ISO 9001 elements. Highway pavement construction has been selected as an application and illustrative domain to carry out the system development and validation. A model has been defined for representing the information used in the system tasks, considering the management information integration of the design, construction, and quality management processes. It reflects the transformation states of construction components during construction from raw materials to end products, and the connection of construction processes to these states. The model allows the classifications of the requirements/criteria describing these physical states and their respective processes in the design/planning phase, for analyzing their conformance status during the construction phase, as well as their potential performance during the operation phase. The central role of the inspection and test plan has been exploited to link to construction components and processes, relevant inspections/tests, requirements/criteria, actual results, and nonconformance analyses. A comprehensive body of expert knowledge, concerning low density and roughness of constructed pavements, which are two major and critical problems in terms of their impact on the life performance of constructed highways, has been deduced and collected from the literature. This knowledge has been organized and documented in formats, which are compatible with the information model to support future applications of expert systems reasoning technologies for the identification and/or prediction of problems, the diagnosis of their causes, and the specification of appropriate actions. Templates have been devised to enable the reuse of predefined packages of information, which recur from project to project. The system has been implemented and validated in connection to a project management software tool.

Cooling and Clusters: When Is Heating Needed?
Creators: name: Bryan, Greg L.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: There are (at least) two unsolved problems concerning the current state of the thermal gas in clusters of galaxies. The first is identifying the source of the heating which offsets cooling in the centers of clusters with short cooling times (the ``cooling flow'' problem). The second is understanding the mechanism which boosts the entropy in cluster and group gas. Since both of these problems involve an unknown source of heating it is tempting to identify them with the same process, particular since AGN heating is observed to be operating at some level in a sample of well-observed ``cooling flow'' clusters. Here we show, using numerical simulations of cluster formation, that much of the gas ending up in clusters cools at high redshift and so the heating is also needed at high-redshift, well before the cluster forms. This indicates that the same process operating to solve the cooling flow problem may not also resolve the cluster entropy problem.

description: As larger, higher-quality quantum devices are built and demonstrated in quantum information applications, such as quantum computation and quantum communication, the need for high-quality quantum memories to store quantum states becomes ever more pressing. Future quantum devices likely will use a variety of physical hardware, some being used primarily for processing of quantum information and others for storage. Here, we study the correlation of the structure of quantum information with physical noise models of various possible quantum memory implementations. Through numerical simulation of different noise models and approximate analytical formulas applied to a variety of interesting quantum states, we provide comparisons between quantum hardware with different structure, including both qubit- and qudit-based quantum memories. Our findings point to simple, experimentally relevant formulas for the relative lifetimes of quantum information in different quantum memories and have relevance to the design of hybrid quantum devices.

description: A healthy, shallow, draft barge industry is essential to the well-being of U.S. agriculture. Sixty percent of U.S. farm grain, oilseed and feed exports (which is 25 percent of the world trade in grain and oilseeds) is transported on the Mississippi River system. This low cost transportation system is also used to transport 25 percent of U.S. farm fertilizer and is important for other farm inputs. U.S. farm exports are a major factor in reducing our balance of payments deficit and maintaining the strength of the dollar.
Dubbing and Redubbing Animation: Disney in the Arab World

description: Distribution of Disney films and TV products in the Arab world has recently undergone a radical change: since the signing of a large-scale agreement between Al Jazeera and Disney, in 2013, most films and TV series are being dubbed, or redubbed, in Modern Standard Arabic. Contrary to the long-standing tradition of dubbing Disney productions using the Egyptian vernacular variety of Arabic, the eminently written, formal language used for administration and classical education has been introduced as a vehicle for animation dialogue. And not without consistent semantic manipulation.  This article seeks to contextualize this recent shift in dubbing animation in the Arab world, with a view to unveiling its underlying dynamics. The role played by Al Jazeera in reshaping media communication and translation across the Arab world and beyond is also considered, in an attempt to grasp the social, political and ultimately ideological implications of its strategies, as well as its power in significantly orienting traditionally imperialist, Western colossi like Disney. A comparative analysis of the original English TV series Aladdin, its Egyptian dubbed version and MSA redubbing follows, providing evidence for this new trend in audiovisual translation aimed at Arabic speakers the world over.

’The Italian Color’: Race, Crime Iconography and Dubbing Conventions in the Italian-language Versions of Scarface (1932)
Creators: name: Mereu Keating, Carla
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2016
Subjects: Italian, censorship, dubbing, archival research, reception

description: In the early 1930s the crime film Scarface: The Shame of a Nation (1932, USA, dir. Howard Hawks) stirred censorship controversies in the United States because of its gritty portrayal of criminality and violence.
Debates over crime, race and immigration proliferated in the North-American press and finally led to Italian-American pressure groups to call out for the film’s boycott because it ‘offended the Italian nation and people’ and vilified immigrant communities.
Archival historical research in AVT has revealed how film versions have frequently been cut and dialogues ideologically manipulated to suit political agendas, commercial interests and dominant sexual and religious moralities.
Indeed the translation of films has often served too many masters, suffering direct or indirect censorship intervention whenever a film defied existing societal taboos.
My contribution aims to offer a diachronic perspective on the reception of Scarface lo sfregiato in Italy. It will look at the film’s Italian-language translation and re-translations for cinema, television and DVD, prepared by different hands and re-voiced by different actors during a span of fifty years (1940-90s).
From the textual and contextual analysis of the film’s different Italian editions, it will be possible to trace significant ideological shifts in the reception of Italian-American crime iconography and in the language used to communicate it.

The Dubbing of Gay-themed TV Series in Italy: Corpus-based Evidence of Manipulation and Censorship
Creators: name: Sandrelli, Annalisa
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2016
Subjects: dubbing, corpus, TV series, gayspeak, censorship, manipulation

description: The manipulation and censorship of taboo and sensitive references in AVT has attracted the interest of several scholars over the last few years, but systematic studies of the impact of such practices on different genres in different countries are still needed. The paper analyses the Italian dubbing of three gay-themed TV series, Queer as Folk, Queer as Folk (US remake), and The L Word. Gay-themed series are less mainstream on Italian TV channels than in the UK and the USA, and gayspeak as a linguistic phenomenon is not well-known to Italian audiences. Consequently, the Italian dubbed dialogues are the product of different degrees of manipulation and even censorship. The paper finds empirical evidence of such alterations in data from the DubTalk corpus and attempts a tentative evaluation of the impact of such practices on the Italian versions of the above-mentioned series.

description: We make forecasts for the impact a future "midband" space-based gravitational wave experiment, most sensitive to $10^{-2}- 10$ Hz, could have on potential detections of cosmological stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds (SGWBs). Specific proposed midband experiments considered are TianGo, B-DECIGO and AEDGE. We propose a combined power-law integrated sensitivity (CPLS) curve combining GW experiments over different frequency bands, which shows the midband improves sensitivity to SGWBs by up to two orders of magnitude at $10^{-2} - 10$ Hz. We consider GW emission from cosmic strings and phase transitions as benchmark examples of cosmological SGWBs. We explicitly model various astrophysical SGWB sources, most importantly from unresolved black hole mergers. Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo, we demonstrated that midband experiments can, when combined with LIGO A+ and LISA, significantly improve sensitivities to cosmological SGWBs and better separate them from astrophysical SGWBs. In particular, we forecast that a midband experiment improves sensitivity to cosmic string tension $Gμ$ by up to a factor of $10$, driven by improved component separation from astrophysical sources. For phase transitions, a midband experiment can detect signals peaking at $0.1 - 1$ Hz, which for our fiducial model corresponds to early Universe temperatures of $T_*\sim 10^4 - 10^6$ GeV, generally beyond the reach of LIGO and LISA. The midband closes an energy gap and better captures characteristic spectral shape information. It thus substantially improves measurement of the properties of phase transitions at lower energies of $T_* \sim O(10^3)$ GeV, potentially relevant to new physics at the electroweak scale, whereas in this energy range LISA alone will detect an excess but not effectively measure the phase transition parameters. Our modelling code and chains are publicly available.

Images of Youth on Screen: Manipulative Translation Strategies in the Dubbing of American Teen Films
Creators: name: Zanotti, Serenalla
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2016
Subjects: Ideology – Dubbing – Translator manuscript analysis – Censorship – Self-censorship – Teen film

description: Teen films have often been a locus of censorial intervention due to the sensitive issues that youth-centred stories most typically address, especially when it comes to the representation of family life, juvenile delinquency, violence, youth sexuality and language. This paper offers an analysis of the dubbed versions of three mainstream youth films from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, namely Rebel Without a Cause (Nicholas Ray, 1955), Splendor in the Grass (Elia Kazan, 1961) and The Summer of 42 (Robert Mulligan, 1971), with the aim to investigate whether the strategies adopted in their linguistic transfer were shaped by censorial concerns or by differences in the way juvenile cultures were represented locally. The study is based on documentary evidence gleaned from archival research and translator manuscript analysis (Munday 2012, 2013).

Translating Gender Stereotypes: An Overview on Global Telefiction
Creators: name: Pérez L. De Heredia, María
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2016
Subjects: Audiovisual Translation, TV series, Gender Stereotypes

description: The essay proposes, from a descriptive and intercultural view, the approach to both (para)textual and textual information around television series, involving gender(ed) features, attitudes, and values. Those texts are being translated, released and spread all over the world and, therefore, contribute to the global stereotyping of a (supposed to be) new American woman.
Under the patronage of Descriptive Translation Studies and going beyond, a thick approach to the act of translating is proposed, in order to map entirely the translated product. With a balanced combination, which puts together a linguistic microscope and a cultural telescope, a catalogue (and subsequent corpus of data) will be portrayed, allowing the analysis of the rewritten texts broadly. The inventory is made up of a number of TV series getting a good mark for the Bechdel test, which (seemingly) challenge old stereotypes in order to build up a new image of woman.
Placing considerable importance on ideology in Translation Studies and, by doing so, refusing and turning down the view of the translation as a neutral bridge, an invisible agent, we will pay attention to the fact that not only linguistic but especially cultural, and even ideological, differences arouse when dealing with the act of translating. In particular, we will focus on the subject of manipulation and rewriting of stereotypes in the field of audiovisual translation.

description: We investigate the structural and magnetic properties of a Kitaev spin liquid candidate material Ag$_3$LiIr$_2$O$_6$ based on $^7$Li nuclear magnetic resonance line shape, Knight shift and spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$. The first sample A shows signatures of magnetically ordered spins, and exhibits one sharp $^7$Li peak with FWHM increasing significantly below 14~K. $1/T_1^{stretch}$ of this sample displays a broad local maximum at 40~K, followed by a very sharp peak at $T_N = 9\pm1$~K due to critical slowing down of Ir spin fluctuations, a typical signature of magnetic long range order. In order to shed light on the position-by-position variation of $1/T_1$ throughout the sample, we use Inverse Laplace Transform $T_1$ analysis based on Tikhonov regularization to deduce the density distribution function $P(1/T_1)$. We demonstrate that $\sim 60\%$ of Ir spins are statically ordered at the NMR measurement timescale but the rest of the sample volume remains paramagnetic even at 4.2~K, presumably because of structural disorder induced primarily by stacking faults. In order to further investigate the influence of structural disorder, we compare these NMR results with those of a second sample B, which has been shown by transmission electron microscope to have domains with unwanted Ag inclusion at Li and Ir sites within the Ir honeycomb planes. The sample B displays an additional NMR peak with relative intensity of $\sim 17\%$. The small Knight shift and $1/T_1$ of these defect-induced $^7$Li sites and the enhancement of bulk susceptibility at low temperatures suggest that these defects generate domains of only weakly magnetic Ir spins accompanied by free spins, leading to a lack of clear signatures of long-range order. The apparent lack of long-range order could be easily misinterpreted as evidence for the realization of a spin liquid ground state in highly disordered Kitaev lattice.

The presence of Edmontonia is indicated by AMNH 8543, from Clambank Hollow (fig. 9A, B). Sternberg (1928) distinguished the teeth from those of Palaeoscincus costatus by the fact that they are "considerably higher in the crown, thicker transversely and the cingulum is more strongly developed ... the transverse diameter of the tooth through the cingulum is three-fifths the height of the crown above the cingulum, while in P. costatus the transverse diameter is about one-half the height."

Ideological Constraints in Dubbing The Simpsons into Arabic

Year: 2016
Subjects: audiovisual translation, constraints, dubbing, ideology, norms, The Simpsons.

description: Although Audiovisual Translation has received considerable attention in recent years, evidence suggests that there is a paucity of empirical research carried out on the topic of ideological constraints in audiovisual translation from English into Arabic. This is despite the fact that subtitling and dubbing Western animation into Arabic has been on the increase ever since television sets entered Arab homes; which is why several authority figures are calling for tighter control and moral screening of what is aired on television sets, in particular that which is aimed at children.
This study aims to add some understanding of the problems facing practitioners in the dubbing industry, such as the reasons for their alleged reality distortion and how these problems are dealt with by the dubbing agencies. This is achieved by exploring the extent ideological norms, as well as other agents, shape the outcome of dubbed English animations/films when rendered into Arabic by manipulation, subversion and/or appropriation.
Fifty-two dubbed episodes of The Simpsons were selected for this study. The Simpsons was chosen due to its universal appeal and influence. It addresses many sensitive issues, such as sex, drugs, religion, politics, racial and gender stereotypes, with a bluntness and boldness rarely seen before, and goes beyond passive entertainment and school education. Therefore, it is looked at with suspicion and vigilance in the Arab World.
The contrastive analysis of the English and Arabic versions of The Simpsons yielded interesting results; it established that the translation process is marred by many intrinsic and extrinsic factors either exercised by the translator or imposed upon him. Ideological and socio-cultural factors are the chief culprits in the case of translating The Simpsons into Arabic.

description: Variational quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) is an ab-initio method for solving the electronic Schrödinger equation that is exact in principle, but limited by the flexibility of the available ansatzes in practice. The recently introduced deep QMC approach, specifically two deep-neural-network ansatzes PauliNet and FermiNet, allows variational QMC to reach the accuracy of diffusion QMC, but little is understood about the convergence behavior of such ansatzes. Here, we analyze how deep variational QMC approaches the fixed-node limit with increasing network size. First, we demonstrate that a deep neural network can overcome the limitations of a small basis set and reach the mean-field complete-basis-set limit. Moving to electron correlation, we then perform an extensive hyperparameter scan of a deep Jastrow factor for LiH and H$_4$ and find that variational energies at the fixed-node limit can be obtained with a sufficiently large network. Finally, we benchmark mean-field and many-body ansatzes on H$_2$O, increasing the fraction of recovered fixed-node correlation energy of single-determinant Slater--Jastrow-type ansatzes by half an order of magnitude compared to previous variational QMC results and demonstrate that a single-determinant Slater--Jastrow--backflow version of the ansatz overcomes the fixed-node limitations. This analysis helps understanding the superb accuracy of deep variational ansatzes in comparison to the traditional trial wavefunctions at the respective level of theory, and will guide future improvements of the neural network architectures in deep QMC.

Manipulation in Dubbing: The Translation of English-language Films into Persian

description: As the result of the decline in linguistic oriented approaches, Translation Studies witnessed a move towards a more descriptive and cultural direction in the 1990s. Accordingly, translation was no longer confined solitary to an isolated linguistic context and the socio-cultural aspects of translation were emphasized. It was during this turn that Andrew Lefevere (1992) set forth the notion of “rewriting” and asserted the pressures that the prevailing cultural environment and the three factors of ideology, poetics and patronage have on translation. This present study looks at the impact of ideology and patronage in dubbing of eight English-language films into Persian. This was carried out through an analysis of the social context of the receptor language and community. In view of the rules and regulations in the area of media distribution, we attempted to trace the reflection of these social laws in the form of manipulative operations in the Persian dubbed version of the films. The analysis of the corpus revealed that manipulation of the source soundtracks occurred when there was a disconformity with the ideology of the prevailing culture and the source soundtracks. The areas of manipulation were assorted into four groups of religion, politics, sexually forbidden content, and profanity. The result of the study confirmed that manipulations were generally in line with the ideology and values which are rooted in the socio-cultural context of the Iranian community. Nonetheless, there were rare exceptions which could be ascribed to the function of dissimilar agencies as cultural innovators. These agencies have apparently attempted to familiarize the receptor community with a new culture by rendering the ideologically taboo content of the source text intact.

Breaking of ergodicity and long relaxation times in systems with long-range interactions

description: The thermodynamic and dynamical properties of an Ising model with both short range and long range, mean field like, interactions are studied within the microcanonical ensemble. It is found that the relaxation time of thermodynamically unstable states diverges logarithmically with system size. This is in contrast with the case of short range interactions where this time is finite. Moreover, at sufficiently low energies, gaps in the magnetization interval may develop to which no microscopic configuration corresponds. As a result, in local microcanonical dynamics the system cannot move across the gap, leading to breaking of ergodicity even in finite systems. These are general features of systems with long range interactions and are expected to be valid even when the interaction is slowly decaying with distance.

description: Kirkwood discovered in 1933, and Dirac discovered in 1945, a representation of quantum states that has undergone a renaissance recently. The Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) distribution has been employed to study nonclassicality across quantum physics, from metrology to chaos to the foundations of quantum theory. The KD distribution is a quasiprobability distribution, a quantum generalization of a probability distribution, which can behave nonclassically by having negative or nonreal elements. Negative KD elements signify quantum information scrambling and potential metrological quantum advantages. Nonreal elements encode measurement disturbance and thermodynamic nonclassicality. KD distributions' nonclassicality has been believed to follow necessarily from noncommutation of operators. We show that noncommutation does not suffice. We prove sufficient conditions for the KD distribution to be nonclassical (equivalently, necessary conditions for it to be classical). We also quantify the KD nonclassicality achievable under various conditions. This work resolves long-standing questions about nonclassicality and may be used to engineer quantum advantages.

WTF! Taboo Language in TV Series: An Analysis of Professional and Amateur Translation
Creators: name: Beseghi, Micòl
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2016
Subjects: audiovisual translation; fansubbing; censorship; taboo language; swear words

description: This paper focuses on the topic of censorship associated with the use of strong language and swear words in the translation of contemporary American TV series. In AVT, more specifically in Italian dubbing, the practice of censorship, in the form of suppression or toning down of what might be perceived as offensive, disturbing, too explicit or inconvenient, still remains a problematic issue. By focusing on two recent successful TV series - Girls and Orange is the New Black – which are characterized by the use of strong language (swear words, politically incorrect references) and the presence of taboo subjects (homosexuality, sex, drugs, violence) – this study will consider the different translation choices applied in dubbing and fansubbing. Previous academic studies have underlined the fact that professional translators tend to remove, more or less consciously, the disturbing elements from the source text, while fansubbers try to adhere as much as possible to the original text, not only in terms of linguistic contents but also in terms of register and style. The results of this analysis seem on the one hand to confirm that there is still not a systematic set of rules that govern the translation of strong language in dubbing, and on the other to indicate that the gap between professional and amateur translation is perhaps becoming less pronounced.

иконография Одигитрии

description: Изучение переписных книг Псковской земли позволяет определить происхождение ряда древних икон XIV в., в том числе образов Одигитрии и Вседержителя (Елеазаровского), прославившегося в Пскове как чудотворный (обе из Псковского музея), а также Бориса и Глеба (ГТГ), входивших в убранство собора Рождества Богородицы Снетогорского монастыря (1309), расписанного в 1313 г. При этом монументальная поклонная икона Одигитрии составляла единый ансамбль с изображениями преподобных в нижнем регистре фресок восточной стены храма, построенного на месте мученической гибели от рук немецких рыцарей первого игумена и братии и задуманного как патрональнопоминальный пантеон. Композиция Одигитрии, восходящая к византийской иконографии типа кипрского образа Богоматери Аракиотиссы (1192), на Руси известна лишь по памятникам Пскова и, начиная с XIII в., становится здесь невероятно устойчивой. Уникальные особенности снетогорской иконы, прежде всего фигуры кадящих ангелов по сторонам Богородицы, объясняются поминальной функцией памятника. Художественные особенности не оставляют сомнений, что образ создавался одновременно с росписью собора 1313 г. его главным мастером, представлявшим ведущую линию искусства Пскова, отражавшую духовные поиски как крайней аскезы, центром которой в эти годы становится Снетогорский монастырь; так и идеалы городской элиты, чьи представители были его основными ктиторами.

description: In a recent Letter Lee et al. studied the spin 1/2 photoluminescence-detected magnetic resonance (PLDMR) of a soluble derivative of poly-phenylene vinylene [MEH-PPV] and argued that it originates from the interaction of triplet excitons with polarons. We show that in MEH-PPV as well as in other conjugated polymers the spin 1/2 PLDMR does not depend on the triplet exciton density and thus cannot be associated with triplet excitons.

description: In our globalizing world, audiovisual products are understandably considered tools that advertise their original language and culture. Most societies do not stand any interference from the outside, especially if it considerably opposes the socio-cultural norms. Translation is a practice of cross-cultural communication which most often complies with the socio-cultural guidelines and norms of the recipient society. However, translated products might face resistance as they can be regarded threatening and hostile by the ruling gatekeepers. Given the dramatic disparities between most languages and cultures, translators are not the only decision-makers and other agents have pivotal roles in the process of adapting the translated product to the dominant conventions and socio-cultural norms. This paper aims at shedding some light on the role which agents play in the process of dubbing, both for public access national television and for private home distribution. The study explores the effects of preliminary and operational norms, and cultural appropriation conducted at both textual and visual levels through a method including interview data and textual analysis. The results show that foreign movies dubbed into Persian in the religious context of the contemporary Iran are strictly controlled both before the process of dubbing and during and after the process of dubbing due to a number of socio-cultural, political, and ideological considerations.

Икона святителя Николая с избранными святыми на полях конца XII—начала XIII века из собрания ГТГ: особенности иконографической программы

description: В статье предложена целостная концепция идейной программы новгородской иконы «Святитель Николай с избранными святыми на полях» конца XII—начала XIII в. из собрания Третьяковской галереи. Несмотря на широкую известность и многократные публикации, икона никогда не изучалась монографически. Это стало возможным в 2017 г. благодаря ее комплексным технико-технологическим и иным исследованиям, предпринятым в Галерее в рамках подготовки к изданию тома Академического каталога, посвященного древнейшим, домонгольским иконам собрания. Пристальное рассмотрение памятника в контексте византийской и древнерусской художественной традиции XI–XIII вв., осмысление его изображений и их соотношения друг с другом в связи с аналогичными по времени житийными и богослужебными текстами приводит к ряду выводов. Вполне вероятно, что полуфигура святителя Николая в среднике восходит к одному из чтимых константинопольских образов (ближайшая иконографическая аналогия—мозаика в конхе южной алтарной апсиды кафоликона монастыря в Дафни, около 1100), список с которого мог оказаться в Новгороде при князе Мстиславе Владимировиче и позже тиражироваться. Необычность состава и порядка расположения палеосных святых, как и характер сопоставления изображений в среднике и на полях, указывает на то, что для составителя ученой богословской программы иконы было особенно важным показать целительную, благодатную для христиан силу апостольской Церкви, утвержденной на Руси. Это демонстрируют тонкие смысловые переклички и связи между образом святителя Николая Чудотворца в среднике, образом идеального пастыря, почитавшегося равным апостолам, и собором святых врачей, мучеников и чудотворцев на полях, двое из которых—князья Борис и Глеб —были первыми канонизированными русскими святыми.

description: This paper traces the evolution of the debate over a GEO, and analyzes its problems and opportunities in the world trading system. It first considers the genesis of proposals for a GEO, and provides a short historical account. Second, it offers one view of what a GEO might entail. The next two sections offer a brief summary of some of the main arguments for and against such a body. The fifth section discusses issues of implementation, and the relationship between a GEO and existing institutions with environmental or trade responsibilities, such as UNEP and the WTO. It also considers whether a GEO should be built up incrementally, or whether a 'grand stroke' would be more effective in establishing it. The sixth section takes up three related issues: the role of developing countries, issues of subsidiarity and the effective use of sanctions or conditionality. The seventh and final section offers a summary and conclusions.

description: We present the results of an experiment to image the interacting binary star beta Lyrae with data from the Navy Prototype Optical Interferometer (NPOI), using a differential phase technique to correct for the effects of the instrument and atmosphere on the interferometer phases. We take advantage of the fact that the visual primary of beta Lyrae and the visibility calibrator we used are both nearly unresolved and nearly centrally symmetric, and consequently have interferometric phases near zero. We used this property to detect and correct for the effects of the instrument and atmosphere on the phases of beta Lyrae and to obtain differential phases in the channel containing the Halpha emission line. Combining the Halpha-channel phases with information about the line strength, we recovered complex visibilities and imaged the Halpha emission using standard radio interferometry methods. We find that the results from our differential phase technique are consistent with those obtained from a more-standard analysis using squared visibilities (V^2's). Our images show the position of the Halpha emitting regions relative to the continuum photocenter as a function of orbital phase and indicate that the major axis of the orbit is oriented along p.a.=248.8+/-1.7 deg. The orbit is smaller than previously predicted, a discrepancy that can be alleviated if we assume that the system is at a larger distance from us, or that the contribution of the stellar continuum to the Halpha channel is larger than estimated. Finally, we also detected a differential phase signal in the channels containing HeI emission lines at 587.6 and 706.5nm, with orbital behavior different from that of the Halpha, indicating that it originates from a different part of this interacting system.

description: Single photon emitters (SPEs) in low-dimensional layered materials have recently gained a large interest owing to the auspicious perspectives of integration and extreme miniaturization offered by this class of materials. However, accurate control of both the spatial location and the emission wavelength of the quantum emitters is essentially lacking to date, thus hindering further technological steps towards scalable quantum photonic devices. Here, we evidence SPEs in high purity synthetic hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) that can be activated by an electron beam at chosen locations. SPE ensembles are generated with a spatial accuracy better than the cubed emission wavelength, thus opening the way to integration in optical microstructures. Stable and bright single photon emission is subsequently observed in the visible range up to room temperature upon non-resonant laser excitation. Moreover, the low-temperature emission wavelength is reproducible, with an ensemble distribution of width 3 meV, a statistical dispersion that is more than one order of magnitude lower than the narrowest wavelength spreads obtained in epitaxial hBN samples. Our findings constitute an essential step towards the realization of top-down integrated devices based on identical quantum emitters in 2D materials.
