Modes of political participation in revolutionary Cuba
Creators: name: LeoGrande, William
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The study of political participation has traditionally focused almost exclusively upon developed western politics. Participation in under-developed nations was presumed to be restricted to elites, and participation in communist systems was regarded as "inauthentic." Recent studies have challenged these views and called for research to empirically establish the effects of participation in non-western systems. This article is a study of political participation in revolutionary Cuba which utilizes the conceptual apparatus developed by Nie and Verba's cross-national studies. After reviewing the conceptual and methodological problems of applying this framework to the Cuban case, the article attempts to ascertain: (1) the main participatory acts that Cubans engage in, and whether particular modes of participation can be identified; (2) how many Cubans avail themselves of various participatory opportunities; (3) what effect mass participation has on the political system; and (4) how these facets of political participation have evolved since 1959.

description: There is at present a surfeit of introductory and undergraduate econometric text books. This can prove unfortunate for both the new student of econometrics wishing to purchase a textbook, and for course conveners whom have the responsibility of recommending a textbook. In a recent paper Granger (1994) reviewed graduate level textbooks, but there still remains a shortfall in the literature reviewing introductory/undergraduate texts. This paper is an attempt to fill this gap, by comprehensively reviewing what we consider to be the major mainstream introductory or undergraduate econometric textbooks. Our approach differs from Granger (1994) in that we do not attempt to give a formula for the "ideal" text, but simply evaluate what is currently available. Our research indicates that Maddala (1992) is the best introductory text, with Greene (1992) being more useful in later studies.
title: Studies on the structure and function of the influenza virus ribonucleoprotein and polymerase complex.
Creators: name: Klumpp, Klaus
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: Genomic RNPs were isolated from influenza A virus particles and the RNA conformation in the native structure was studied by chemical and enzymatical RNA modification analysis on complete RNPs and on RNPs depleted o f polymerase protein. The results suggest that NP binding to the genomic RNA does not involve the Watson-Crick positions of the bases and the major part of the genomic RNA was found to be in a single-stranded conformation, consistent with the idea that NP functions as a single-stranded RNA binding protein, that facilitates templated RNA synthesis by the polymerase. The polymerase, on the other hand, was found to form a ternary complex with both conserved vRNA ends, but in the absence of the polymerase the RNA ends were completely single-stranded despite a partial, inverted complementarity. The implications of the absence of a stable panhandle RNA secondary structure on possible replicative mechanisms are discussed.

RNP a c tiv ity assays were employed to determ ine basic kinetic constants of the transcription reaction catalyzed by RNPs and to analyse the mechanism of inhibition by 2'-deoxy -2 '-fluororibonucleotides , which were found to be incorporated in to RNA products by the influenza virus polymerase thereby preventing efficient elongation of the transcripts. Transcription reactions in the presence of ATP analogs and ATPase assays revealed a possible requirement for ATP β-ϒ bond hydrolysis during influenza virus transcription.

Finally, a number of different protein expression systems were tested for the production and purification of the PA sub unit of the influenza virus polymerase complex for structural and functional studies. In both procaryotic and eucaryotic systems the PA protein yield was very low and possible reasons for this lack of expression efficiency are discussed. Affinity purified PA preparations from bacterial cultures and semipurified fractions from eucaryotic systems showed that an ATPase activity consistently copurified with PA. Also, preliminary evidence for sequence-specific RNA binding was obtained from in vitro translation experiments.
Relativistic Gross-Pitaevskii equation and the cosmological Bose Einstein Condensation

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We do not know 96% of the total matter in the universe at present. In this paper, a cosmological model is proposed in which Dark Energy (DE) is identified as Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) of some boson field. Global cosmic acceleration caused by this BEC and multiple rapid collapses of BEC into black holes etc. (=Dark Matter (DM)) are examined based on the relativistic version of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We propose (a) a novel mechanism of inflation free from the slow-rolling condition, (b) a natural solution for the cosmic coincidence ('Why Now?') problem through the transition from DE into DM, (c) very early formation of highly non-linear objects such as black holes, which might trigger the first light as a form of quasars, and (d) log-z periodicity in the subsequent BEC collapsing time. All of these are based on the steady slow BEC process.

description: We introduce COPT, a novel distance metric between graphs defined via an optimization routine, computing a coordinated pair of optimal transport maps simultaneously. This gives an unsupervised way to learn general-purpose graph representation, applicable to both graph sketching and graph comparison. COPT involves simultaneously optimizing dual transport plans, one between the vertices of two graphs, and another between graph signal probability distributions. We show theoretically that our method preserves important global structural information on graphs, in particular spectral information, and analyze connections to existing studies. Empirically, COPT outperforms state of the art methods in graph classification on both synthetic and real datasets.

description: Recent deep neural networks based techniques, especially those equipped with the ability of self-adaptation in the system level such as deep reinforcement learning (DRL), are shown to possess many advantages of optimizing robot learning systems (e.g., autonomous navigation and continuous robot arm control.) However, the learning-based systems and the associated models may be threatened by the risks of intentionally adaptive (e.g., noisy sensor confusion) and adversarial perturbations from real-world scenarios. In this paper, we introduce timing-based adversarial strategies against a DRL-based navigation system by jamming in physical noise patterns on the selected time frames. To study the vulnerability of learning-based navigation systems, we propose two adversarial agent models: one refers to online learning; another one is based on evolutionary learning. Besides, three open-source robot learning and navigation control environments are employed to study the vulnerability under adversarial timing attacks. Our experimental results show that the adversarial timing attacks can lead to a significant performance drop, and also suggest the necessity of enhancing the robustness of robot learning systems.

description: Generalized from image and language translation, graph translation aims to generate a graph in the target domain by conditioning an input graph in the source domain. This promising topic has attracted fast-increasing attention recently. Existing works are limited to either merely predicting the node attributes of graphs with fixed topology or predicting only the graph topology without considering node attributes, but cannot simultaneously predict both of them, due to substantial challenges: 1) difficulty in characterizing the interactive, iterative, and asynchronous translation process of both nodes and edges and 2) difficulty in discovering and maintaining the inherent consistency between the node and edge in predicted graphs. These challenges prevent a generic, end-to-end framework for joint node and edge attributes prediction, which is a need for real-world applications such as malware confinement in IoT networks and structural-to-functional network translation. These real-world applications highly depend on hand-crafting and ad-hoc heuristic models, but cannot sufficiently utilize massive historical data. In this paper, we termed this generic problem "multi-attributed graph translation" and developed a novel framework integrating both node and edge translations seamlessly. The novel edge translation path is generic, which is proven to be a generalization of the existing topology translation models. Then, a spectral graph regularization based on our non-parametric graph Laplacian is proposed in order to learn and maintain the consistency of the predicted nodes and edges. Finally, extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world application data demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Year: 2023

description: Despite the significant flow of single mothers into the job market as a result of welfare reform between 1996 and 1998, this analysis of 20 metropolitan areas indicates that labor markets were able to absorb these new workers without a negative impact on competing workers. Double-digit rates of job growth for single mothers took place in most of the 20 metropolitan areas. Wages increased and overall employment rates improved for single mothers and other less-educated adults. Even in metropolitan areas with high unemployment and high welfare caseloads, such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia, enough jobs materialized to expand employment and reduce unemployment for single mothers with little or no harm imposed on the job opportunities of competing workers.

description: The AMS is in a process of building a new SUB. Various groups are researching on different kinds of stoves, rooftops and filters for use at the new SUB. Our group decided to focus on different types of water filtration systems. We researched on different filtration systems that could be used for the new SUB. Upon evaluating different types of filtration systems, we decided that a UV filtration system would be best suited for the new SUB. Despite a number of disadvantages, advantages override the debate on using a UV filtration system. A general idea and a methodology of the filtration system will be introduced briefly at the beginning of the report. The report will be followed by focused assessment of the triple bottom line in regards to the UV filtration system.

description: Race and ethnic wealth differentials are wide and increasing. Some of the gaps are associated with education differences, but education alone cannot account for the substantially higher net worth of White families than of Black and Hispanic families. As of 2013, the median wealth of Black college graduate families had fallen to only 13 percent of the median wealth of White families. One possible explanation is the significantly lower shares of married couple and married parent households among minorities. For example, even among college graduates, only 41 percent of Black family heads were married, compared with 68 percent of White family heads. Did these trends in family status contribute significantly to differences between Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics in the declines in wealth among college graduates? The author finds that family status changes between 2007 and 2013 were too small to play a large role and even married couple families among Blacks and Hispanics suffered sharp declines in home equity and net worth. Still, married couples retained at least a 70 percent advantage over the unmarried groups.

description: Bismuth-Antimony alloys (Bi1-xSbx) are topological insulators between 7-22% Sb in bulk crystals, with an unusually high conductivity suitable for spin-orbit torque applications. Reducing the thickness of epitaxial Bi1-xSbx films is expected to increase the maximum bandgap through quantum confinement, which may improve isolation of topological surface state transport. Like Bi(001) on Si(111), Bi1-xSbx has been predicted to form a black phosphorus-like allotrope with unique electronic properties in nanoscale films; however, the impact of Sb alloying on both the bulk-like and nanoscale crystal structures on Si(111) is currently unknown. Here we demonstrate that the allotropic transition in ultrathin epitaxial Bi1-xSbx films on Si(111) is suppressed above 8-9% Sb, resulting in an unexpected (012) orientation within the topologically insulating regime. The metallic temperature-dependent conductivity associated with surface states in Bi(001) was not observed in the Bi1-xSbx(012) films, suggesting that the (012) orientation may significantly reduce surface state transport. Growth on a Bi(001) buffer layer may prevent this orientation transition. Finally, we demonstrate that Sb alloying improves the continuity and quality of nanoscale Bi1-xSbx(012) films in the thickness regime expected for the black phosphorus allotrope, suggesting a promising route to large-area growth of puckered-layer 2-D Bi1-xSbx, which will be necessary to harness its unique electronic properties in practical applications.

Reassessing trends in U.S. earnings inequality

description: Earnings inequality trends are sensitive to the earnings concept and sample of workers surveyed. The concept of wage distribution across all hours worked yields virtually no change in inequality between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s for measures not influenced by top coding. This article argues that some commonly used measures may be appropriate for normative questions, but they are inappropriate for assessing how market and institutional forces combine to alter the overall distribution of quantities of labor input purchased at each price (wage).

description: We calculate the $η^\prime$-meson energy spectrum in the decay $Υ(1S) \to η^\prime g g g \to η^\prime X$ in the leading-order perturbative QCD in the static quark limit for the Orthoquarkonium. Our principal result is the extraction of parameters of the $η^\prime g^* g$ effective vertex function (EVF) involving a virtual and a real gluon from the available data on the hard part of the $η^\prime$-meson energy spectrum. The perturbative QCD based framework provides a good description of the available CLEO data, allowing to constrain the lowest Gegenbauer coefficients $B^{(q)}_2$ and $B^{(g)}_2$ of the quark-antiquark and gluonic distribution amplitudes of the $η^\prime$-meson. The resulting constraints are combined with the existing ones on these coefficients from an analysis of the $η-γ$ and $η^\prime-γ$ transition form factors and the requirement of positivity of the EVF, yielding $B^{(q)}_2(μ_0^2) = -0.008 \pm 0.054$ and $B^{(g)}_2(μ_0^2) = 4.6 \pm 2.5$ for $μ_0^2 = 2$ GeV$^2$. This reduces significantly the current uncertainty on these coefficients. The resulting EFV $F_{η^\prime g^* g} (p^2, 0, m_{η^\prime}^2)$, including the $η^\prime$-meson mass effects, is presented.

description: We develop a theory to derive eﬀective Floquet Hamiltonians in the weak drive and low-frequency regime. We construct the theory in analogy with band theory for electrons in a spatially-periodic and weak potential, such as occurs in some crystalline materials. As a prototypical example, we apply this theory to graphene driven by circularly polarized light of low intensity. We ﬁnd an ana- lytic expression for the eﬀective Floquet Hamiltonian in the low-frequency regime which accurately predicts the quasienergy spectrum and the Floquet states. Furthermore, we identify self-consistency as the crucial feature eﬀective Hamiltonians in this regime need to satisfy to achieve high accuracy. The method is useful in providing a realistic description of oﬀ-resonant drives for multi-band solid state systems where light-induced topological band structure changes are sought.

description: We study a junction of three quantum wires enclosing a magnetic flux. The wires are modeled as single-channel spinless Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids. This is the simplest problem of a quantum junction between Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids in which Fermi statistics enter in a non-trivial way. We study the problem using a mapping onto the dissipative Hofstadter model, describing a single particle moving on a plane in a magnetic field and a periodic potential coupled to a harmonic oscillator bath. Alternatively we study the problem by identifying boundary conditions corresponding to the low energy fixed points. We obtain a rich phase diagram including a chiral fixed point in which the asymmetric current flow is highly sensitive to the sign of the flux and a phase in which electron pair tunneling dominates. We also study the effects on the conductance tensor of the junction of contacting the three quantum wires to Fermi liquid reservoirs.

description: We present observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) to evaluate the impact of a proposed network of ground-based miniaturized laser heterodyne radiometer (mini-LHR) instruments that measure atmospheric column-averaged carbon dioxide (XCO2) with a 1 ppm precision. A particular strength of this passive measurement approach is its insensitivity to clouds and aerosols due to its direct sun pointing and narrow field of view (0.2∘). Developed at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), these portable, low-cost mini-LHR instruments were designed to operate in tandem with the sun photometers used by the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET). This partnership allows us to leverage the existing framework of AERONET's global ground network of more than 500 sites as well as providing simultaneous measurements of aerosols that are known to be a major source of error in retrievals of XCO2 from passive nadir-viewing satellite observations. We show, using the global 3-D GEOS-Chem chemistry transport model, that a deployment of 50 mini-LHRs at strategic (but not optimized) AERONET sites significantly improves our knowledge of global and regional land-based CO2 fluxes. This improvement varies seasonally and ranges 58 %–81 % over southern lands, 47 %–76 % over tropical lands, 71 %–92 % over northern lands, and 64 %–91 % globally. We also show significant added value from combining mini-LHR instruments with the existing ground-based NOAA flask network. Collectively, these data result in improved a posteriori CO2 flux estimates on spatial scales of ∼10 km2, especially over North America and Europe, where the ground-based networks are densest. Our studies suggest that the mini-LHR network could also play a substantive role in reducing carbon flux uncertainty in Arctic and tropical systems by filling in geographical gaps in measurements left by ground-based networks and space-based observations. A realized network would also provide necessary data for the quinquennial global stocktakes that form part of the Paris Agreement.

description: In fermionic superfluids that are charge neutral, Nambu-Goldstone (NG) modes also known as Anderson-Bogoliubov modes emerge as a result of spontaneous symmetry breaking. Here, we discuss DC transport properties of such NG modes through a quantum point contact. We show that contrary to a naive view that enhancement of the phase stiffness may suppress transport of the NG modes, there must be an anomalous contribution that survives at low temperature. This contribution originates from the conversion process between the condensate and NG mode. We find that within the BCS regime the anomalous contribution is enhanced with increasing channel transmittance and attractive interaction, and leads to a temperature-dependent Lorenz number and absence of the bunching effect in current noise.

description: We present observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) to evaluate the impact of a proposed network of ground-based miniaturized laser heterodyne radiometer (mini-LHR) instruments that measure atmospheric column-averaged carbon dioxide (XCO2) with a 1 ppm precision. A particular strength of this passive measurement approach is its insensitivity to clouds and aerosols due to its direct sun pointing and narrow field of view (0.2∘). Developed at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), these portable, low-cost mini-LHR instruments were designed to operate in tandem with the sun photometers used by the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET). This partnership allows us to leverage the existing framework of AERONET's global ground network of more than 500 sites as well as providing simultaneous measurements of aerosols that are known to be a major source of error in retrievals of XCO2 from passive nadir-viewing satellite observations.

description: Using a new survey battery of democratic conceptions from the third wave of the Asian Barometer Survey (ABS III), this paper explores the possible origins of democratic conceptions in the sampled East Asian societies. There are three major findings. First, the substance-based democratic conception has won the hearts and minds of a majority of the East Asians. Second, the East Asians’ assessment of government performance, as well as their appreciation of the intrinsic value of democracy, plays a significant role in shaping how they understand democracy. Third, the sharp distinction between economic prosperity in Asian authoritarian or emerging democratic countries as opposed to the long-term recession in Asian liberal democracies has already changed value orientation toward instrumental conception of democracy. Nevertheless, the impact of government performance is conditional upon its surrounding political context. Different interpretations should be developed to explain the same phenomenon since the reason behind could be very different.

description: Since race-conscious redistricting and the creation of effective minority districts remains the basis upon which most African-American and Latino officials gain election, the Voting Rights Act, including both Sections 2 and 5, remains a valuable tool to protect the ability of minorities to elect their preferred candidates. The evidence presented demonstrates that the fundamental argument in favor of the creation of majority-minority districts remains valid today: The vast majority of minority legislators still win election from majority minority districts. The share of non-black-majority districts with African-American state legislators and congressional representatives remains extremely low – 5 percent or less in 2005. Majority-Hispanic districts play a similarly crucial role in the election of Latino officials. The share of non-Hispanic-majority districts electing Latinos to legislative office is minuscule – less than 4 percent of these districts elected Latinos in 2005 in the ten states studied here. Latino-majority districts continue to elect the overwhelming majority of Latino officials. Main Content

 Material examined. HOLOTYPE: „. Honduras: (Site 1) Piedra Muqlu, El Paraiso, Merendon Mountains, altitude 100 m, 11 February 2003. Slide: holotype H7 „, paratype 1 H 4♀.
 Etymology. Named after Jennifer Spelling who collected the specimens on the Glamorgan University Tropical Ecology field course to Honduras in 2003.
 Discussion. Similar to other ‘megapoid’ forms. Males can be distinguished by the absence of V4 on the ventral plate, the large dorsal plate and the lateral flanges to the pedipalp P4. Females are similar to A. tembolus Cook, 1980 (males unknown) from Mexico but lack muscle platelets on the dorsum and have a lateral flange on P4 that is lacking in A. tembolus.

description: A new data analysis method is developed for the angle resolving silicon telescope introduced at the neutron time of flight facility n_TOF at CERN. The telescope has already been used in measurements of several neutron induced reactions with charged particles in the exit channel. The development of a highly detailed method is necessitated by the latest joint measurement of the $^{12}$C($n,p$) and $^{12}$C($n,d$) reactions from n_TOF. The reliable analysis of these data must account for the challenging nature of the involved reactions, as they are affected by the multiple excited states in the daughter nuclei and characterized by the anisotropic angular distributions of the reaction products. The unabridged analysis procedure aims at the separate reconstruction of all relevant reaction parameters - the absolute cross section, the branching ratios and the angular distributions - from the integral number of the coincidental counts detected by the separate pairs of silicon strips. This procedure is tested under the specific conditions relevant for the $^{12}$C($n,p$) and $^{12}$C($n,d$) measurements from n_TOF, in order to assess its direct applicability to these experimental data. Based on the reached conclusions, the original method is adapted to a particular level of uncertainties in the input data.

Affine Hecke algebras and generalized standard Young tableaux

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Representation Theory (math.RT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This paper introduces calibrated representations for affine Hecke algebras and classifies and constructs all finite dimensional irreducible calibrated representations. The primary technique is to provide indexing sets for controlling the weight space structure of finite dimensional modules for the affine Hecke algebra. Using these indexing sets we show that (1) irreducible calibrated representations are indexed by skew local regions, (2) the dimension of an irreducible calibrated representation is the number of chambers in the local region, (3) each irreducible calibrated representation is constructed explicitly by formulas which describe the action of the generators of the affine Hecke algebra on a specific basis in the representation space. The indexing sets for weight spaces are generalizations of standard Young tableaux and the construction of the irreducible calibrated affine Hecke algebra modules is a generalization of A. Young's seminormal construction of the irreducible representations of the symmetric group. In this sense Young's construction has been generalized to arbitrary Lie type.
