Nuxalk also known as “Bellacoola”
Creators: name: Pitek, Emily

Year: 2018

description: The Nuxalk are a Canadian First Nations society who live in the Bella Coola valley of British Columbia. These people trace their ancestry back to the original settlers of the area, who were sent by the supreme god Äłquntäm. Because the Nuxalk religious beliefs are bound up in almost all spheres of life, this entry considers the religious group to be coterminous with the society. It is important to note that the Nuxalk beliefs were influenced by Christianity beginning with contact in the 18th century. Key features of the Nuxalk beliefs include a variety of supernatural beings, religious specialists (shamans) possessing supernatural powers, as well as rituals (most commonly dances) led by secret ceremonial societies called kisuit and siswak. This entry focuses on the Nuxalk ca. 1880, with emphasis placed on the central village of the lower Bella Coola river.

description: A coherent vibrational wavepacket is launched and manipulated in the symmetric stretch (a$_1$) mode of CBr$_4$, by impulsive stimulated Raman scattering from non-resonant 400 nm laser pump pulses with various peak intensities on the order of tens of 10$^{12}$ W/cm$^2$. Extreme ultraviolet (XUV) attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) records the wavepacket dynamics as temporal oscillations in XUV absorption energy at the bromine M$_{4,5}$ 3d$_{3/2,5/2}$ edges around 70 eV. The results are augmented by nuclear time-dependent Schrödinger equation simulations. Slopes of the (Br-3d$_{3/2,5/2}$)$^{-1}$10a$_1^*$ core-excited state potential energy surface (PES) along the a$_1$ mode are calculated to be -9.4 eV/Å from restricted open-shell Kohn-Sham calculations. Using analytical relations derived for the small-displacement limit with the calculated slopes of the core-excited state PES, a deeper insight into the vibrational dynamics is obtained by retrieving the experimental excursion amplitude of the vibrational wavepacket and the amount of population transferred to the vibrational first-excited state, as a function of pump-pulse peak intensity. Experimentally, the results show that XUV ATAS is capable of easily resolving oscillations in the XUV absorption energy on the order of few to tens of meV and tens of femtosecond time precision, limited only by the averaging times in the experimental scans. This corresponds to oscillations of C-Br bond length on the order of 10$^{-4}$ to 10$^{-3}$ Å. The results and the analytic relationships offer a clear physical picture, on multiple levels of understanding, for how the pump-pulse intensity controls the vibrational dynamics launched by non-resonant ISRS in the small-displacement limit.

description: Introduction. National health survey reported more than 50% housewives are  second-hand smokers. Many studies proved a strong correlation between tobacco exposure among active smoker with incidence of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. However, to our knowledge, epidemiological evidence regarding the relationship between status of second-hand smoker and case of hypertension has not been summarized

Conclusion. Status of second-hand smoker is one of the risk factor for hypertension. Future research with prospective cohort study, bigger, and more heterogeneous population are needed to understand further about status of second-hand smoker with case of hypertension.

Exact average many-body interatomic interaction model for random alloys

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Understanding the physical origin of deformation mechanisms in random alloys requires an understanding of their average behavior and, equally important, the role of local fluctuations around the average. Material properties of random alloys can be computed using direct simulations on random configurations but some properties are very difficult to compute, for others it is not even fully understood how to compute them using random sampling, in particular, interaction energies between multiple defects. To that end, we develop an atomistic model that does the averaging on the level of interatomic potentials. Then, the problem of averaging via random sampling is bypassed since computing material properties on random configurations reduces to computing material properties on a single crystal, the average alloy.
 We develop our average model on the class of linear machine-learning interatomic potentials. To that end, using tools from higher-order statistics, we derive an analytic expansion of the average many-body per-atom energy in terms of average tensor products of the feature vectors that scales linearly with the size of an atomic neighborhood. In order to avoid forming higher-order tensors composed of products of feature vectors, we develop an implementation using equivariant tensor network potentials in which the feature vectors are contracted to small-sized tensors before taking the average. We show that our average model predicts the compact screw dislocation core structure in the NbMoTaW medium-entropy alloy, in agreement with density functional theory, as opposed to state-of-the-art average embedded atom method potentials that predict artificial polarized cores. Hence, we anticipate that our model will become useful for understanding mechanistic origins of material properties and for developing predictive models of mechanical properties of random alloys.

description: In this work, we present a method for numerically solving the Friedmann equations of modified $f(\mathcal{G})$ gravity in the presence of pressureless matter. This method enables us to predict the redshift behaviour of the Hubble expansion rate. To evaluate the credibility of the model, we applied a Bayesian MCMC technique using late-time cosmic observations to impose limitations on the free parameters of the Gauss-Bonnet model. Our results suggest that the $f(\mathcal{G})$ model can reproduce the low-redshift behaviour of the standard Lambda cold dark matter ($Λ$CDM) model, but there are significant differences at high redshifts, leading to the absence of a standard matter-dominated epoch. We also examined the profiles of cosmographic parameters using the model parameter values from the standard range to verify the intermediate epochs. Our analysis shows that the highly promising $f(\mathcal{G})$ model is a feasible candidate for explaining the current epochs. We presented a dynamical system analysis framework to examine the stability of the model. Our study identified critical points depicting various phases of the Universe and explained the evolutionary epochs. We demonstrated that the model effectively captures the evolution of energy components over cosmic time, supporting its validity as an alternate explanation for the observed acceleration of the Universe.

description: The optimal runtime of a quantum computer searching a database is typically cited as the square root of the number of items in the database, which is famously achieved by Grover's algorithm. With parallel oracles, however, it is possible to search faster than this. We consider a many-body quantum system that naturally effects parallel queries, and we show that its parameters can be tuned to search a database in constant time, assuming a sufficient number of interacting particles. In particular, we consider Bose-Einstein condensates with pairwise and three-body interactions in the mean-field limit, which effectively evolve by a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with cubic and quintic nonlinearities. We solve the unstructured search problem formulated as a continuous-time quantum walk searching the complete graph in constant time. Depending on the number of marked vertices, however, the success probability can peak sharply, necessitating high precision time measurement to observe the system at this peak. Overcoming this, we prove that the relative coefficients of the cubic and quintic terms can be tuned to eliminate the need for high time-measurement precision by widening the peak in success probability or having it plateau. Finally, we derive a lower bound on the number of atoms needed for the many-body system to evolve by the effective nonlinearity.

description: It's widely recognized that the free energy landscape captures the essentials of thermodynamic phase transitions. In this work, we extend the findings of [1] by incorporating the nonextensive nature of black hole entropy. Specifically, the connection between black hole phase transitions and the winding number of Riemann surfaces derived through complex analysis is extended to the Rényi entropy framework. This new geometrical and non-extensive formalism is employed to predict the phase portraits of charged-flat black holes within both the canonical and grand canonical ensembles.
 Furthermore, we elucidate novel relations between the number of sheets comprising the Riemann surface of the Hawking-Page and Van der Waals transitions and the dimensionality of black hole spacetimes. Notably, these new numbers are consistent with those found for charged-AdS black holes in Gibbs-Boltzmann statistics, providing another significant example of the potential connection between the cosmological constant and the nonextensive Rényi parameter.

description: Calculus is cryptic in nature and made more abstract using algebraic symbols and notations. Calculus is used in many disciplines and it is a gateway for higher studies. An introductory calculus is always emphasized on rote and manipulative of algebraic symbols and notations despite the fact that it is very important for higher studies. Teaching students with clear concepts in rich contextual aspects is very important in this calculus world. Therefore, this paper presents contextual and graphing activities to teach the concepts of the fundamentals of calculus and the relationship between differentiation and integration in the introductory calculus course for higher secondary school students. This study was administered to sixty-five students in grade eleven. The results showed that students had improved the conceptual understanding of the fundamentals of calculus and the relationship between differentiation and integration when contextually real experiments and graphing activities are employed.

description: Self-injection locking (SIL) of laser diodes to microresonators is a powerful technique that enables compact narrow linewidth lasers. Here, we extend this technique to chip-integrated Fabry-Perot microresonators, which offer high-quality factors and large mode volumes in a compact footprint, reducing fundamental thermo-refractive noise. The resonators consist of a silicon nitride waveguide terminated by two photonic crystal reflectors fabricated via scalable ultraviolet lithography. Evanescent side-coupling allows precise tuning of the SIL feedback mechanism. We present a theoretical model and experimentally demonstrate SIL, resulting in a fundamental thermorefractive-noise-limited laser. We achieve excellent agreement between the experimental results and theoretical model. These results complement current SIL techniques and are relevant to chip-scale low-noise laser systems.

description: This letter investigates movable antenna (MA)-aided downlink (DL) multiuser communication systems under the near-field channel condition, where both the base station (BS) and the users are equipped with MAs to fully exploit the degrees of freedom (DoFs) in antenna position optimization. We develop a general channel model to accurately describe the channel characteristics in the near-field region and formulate an MA-position optimization problem to minimize the BS's transmit power subject to users' individual rate constraints. To solve this problem, we propose a two-loop dynamic neighborhood pruning particle swarm optimization (DNPPSO) algorithm that significantly reduces the computational complexity as compared to the standard particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm while achieving similar performance. Simulation results validate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed scheme in power-saving for near-field multiuser communications.

description: Quantum illumination (QI) is the task of querying a scene using a transmitter probe whose quantum state is entangled with a reference beam retained in ideal storage, followed by optimally detecting the target-returned light together with the stored reference, to make decisions on characteristics of targets at stand-off range, at precision that exceeds what is achievable with a classical transmitter of the same brightness and otherwise identical conditions. Using tools from perturbation theory, we show that in the limit of low transmitter brightness, high loss, and high thermal background, there is a factor of four improvement in the Chernoff exponent of the error probability in discriminating any number of apriori-known reflective targets when using a Gaussian-state entangled QI probe, over using classical coherent-state illumination (CI). While this advantage was known for detecting the presence or absence of a target, it had not been proven for the generalized task of discriminating between arbitrary target libraries. In proving our result, we derive simple general analytic expressions for the lowest-order asymptotic expansions of the quantum Chernoff exponents for QI and CI in terms of the signal brightness, loss, thermal noise, and the modal expansion coefficients of the target-reflected light's radiant exitance profiles when separated by a spatial mode sorter after entering the entrance pupil of the receiver's aperture.

description: The four basic geometric objects of points, point pairs, circles and spheres correspond to outer product null-spaces constructed by conformal points in conformal geometric algebra. Wedging with the infinity point weget four flat objects: finite-infinity point pairs, lines, planes and the whole 5D space. We show that all these basic geometric objects have the same algebraic structure. We then develop a single general algebraic method to quantify and interpolate the relative pose of the eight different classes of objects. As an explicit example we finally apply our framework to the conformation of organic macromolecules.

description: Multispectral imaging is very beneficial in diverse applications, like healthcare and agriculture, since it can capture absorption bands of molecules in different spectral areas. A promising approach for multispectral snapshot imaging are camera arrays. Image processing is necessary to warp all different views to the same view to retrieve a consistent multispectral datacube. This process is also called multispectral image registration. After a cross spectral disparity estimation, an occlusion detection is required to find the pixels that were not recorded by the peripheral cameras. In this paper, a novel fast edge-aware occlusion detection is presented, which is shown to reduce the runtime by at least a factor of 12. Moreover, an evaluation on ground truth data reveals better performance in terms of precision and recall. Finally, the quality of a final multispectral datacube can be improved by more than 1.5 dB in terms of PSNR as well as in terms of SSIM in an existing multispectral registration pipeline.

description: The epidermis is the biggest vertebrate organ that connects organisms to their environment: it keeps homeostasis by preventing infections, regulating temperature and adapting the organism to the external changes. Loss of skin integrity results various epithelial disorders giving rise to diseases like psoriasis or skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the US.

Jnk is one of the many signals required for epidermal development. It is a member of the MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) family that regulates a wide range of biological processes from apoptosis, cell division, migration to homeostasis. However, it is currently unclear what processes Jnk signals regulate during epidermal development. Therefore, we have investigated extensively the processes regulated by Jnk during epidermal development.

Active Jnk is present in the epidermis and in actively dividing cells throughout the embryo. Inhibiting JNK signaling by using morpholino (JNK1-MO) and pharmacological (SP600125) approaches results in embryonic mouth and many different developmental defects including epidermal defects derived from several problems in the embryo. First, we uncovered that Jnk inhibition leads to a major decrease in mitotic cells and an increase in apoptosis. Second, we determined that embryos with abnormal Jnk function have increased cellular stress demonstrated by the increase of a marker of cell detoxification. Finally we found that decreased Jnk signals modify cell adhesion: cell dissociation is delayed in EGTA treatment and E-Cadherins and actin accumulate at the membranes. Nevertheless, Jnk inhibition doesn’t significantly affect epidermal morphogenesis nor differentiation as all different cell types are identified in epithelial transplants.

In conclusion we propose that JNK signals are necessary for maintained cell division and survival and may be necessary for modulating adhesion levels during epidermal cell movements.

description: Abstract

 

Cervical cancer remains a significant global health challenge [1], particularly in patients with comorbidities such as HIV, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and hypertension, which exacerbate systemic inflammation and complicate care [2,3]. This study evaluates the impact of comprehensive comorbidity management framework—encompassing antiretroviral therapy (ART), glycemic control, weight management, and antihypertensive interventions, -on overall survival (OS) and overall response rate (ORR) [4,5]. A retrospective analysis of 3,000 biomarker datasets (inflammatory markers, glycemic indices, and tumor markers) and 150 patient records revealed that effective comorbidity management was associated with improved OS (hazard ratio: 0.72 [95% CI, 0.62–0.82]; p < 0.01) and ORR (response rate: 50% vs. 35%, p = 0.01). Multivariate regression analysis accounted for confounders such as age, cancer stage, and socioeconomic factors. These findings underscore the importance of integrating targeted comorbidity management into cervical cancer care, offering a pathway to improve outcomes in high-risk patient populations [6].

description: High gain and large bandwidth of traveling-wave parametric amplifier exploiting the nonlinearity of Josephson Junctions can be achieved by fulfilling the so-called phase-matching condition. This condition is usually addressed by placing resonant structures along the waveguide or by periodic modulations of its parameters, creating gaps in the waveguide's dispersion. Here, we propose to employ the Josephson junctions, which constitute the centerline of the amplifier, as resonant elements for phase matching. By numerical simulations in JoSIM (and WRspice) software, we show that Josephson plasma oscillations can be utilized to create wavevector mismatch sufficient for phase matching as well as to prevent the conversion of the pump energy to higher harmonics. The proposed TWPA design has a gain of 15 dB and a 3.5 GHz bandwidth, which is comparable to the state-of-the-art TWPAs.

description: Background. Problem of long-term steroid abusers has surfaced widespread in Indonesia since a long year ago. Larger but less visible population of steroid abuse began to emerge along with the spread of uncertified traditional herbal drink. A lot of long-term steroid abusers are now entering pre-elderly and elderly age; they represent the leading wave of a new type of aging former substance abusers, with specific medical and psychiatric risks.

Objective. Analyze the relationship between frailty and subsequent clinical deterioration in long-term steroid users on pre-elderly and elderly population at Mojoagung District.

Conclusion. Long-term steroid abuse often manifest greater adverse effect in elderly, such as diabetes mellitus, cataract, osteoporosis, and gastritis. Steroid abuse were associated with poor results in geriatric assessment. These findings suggest necessity for limiting and monitoring distribution of steroid among uncertified jamu and OTC drugs at market.

description: This document provides a detailed analysis the development of education policy in Uganda beginning with the colonial era in 1925 and continuing into the late 1990s. The paper reviews the history of policy making and explores the lessons for the future that are embedded in that history. The development of policy for education takes place on many levels, from the official pronouncements of national commissions to informal local decisions at the district or school level. The case of Uganda provides a look at the official policy formation process with an emphasis on the large-scale, public processes involved. The study examines the interaction between government, government appointed policy commissions, the international donors, and internal forces within Uganda. A table of the key policy events in the history of education in Uganda is attached to provide a summary skeleton of that history for the reader.

description: The Barama River Carib inhabit the tropical forest area along the Barama River waterway in Guyana. Contact with outside societies is limited, and the Barama Carib's religious beliefs do not appear to be greatly influenced by Christianity. Their religious beliefs include an otiose high god, present but distant and avoided spirits of the deceased, and a variety of other non-human spirits. The piaiyen is a priestly figure who, through training and experience, is able to communicate with the supernatural as well as act as a medical practitioner. There is no official political leadership office, but local headmen are present and chosen on the basis of personality, power, and strength. Because the activities of the religious group are tied up with the functions of the society at large, this entry considers the religious group to be coterminous with the society itself.

description: Controllable magnetization in atomically thin two-dimensional magnets is highly desirable for developing spintronics. For FeSe monolayer, its magnetic ground state is not yet fully understood, and the potential in constructing high-speed and advanced devices remains unknown. Using density functional theory calculations, we confirm the spin ordering of monolayer FeSe to be dimer texture. With Fluorine (F) adsorption (F/FeSe), the system exhibits a coverage dependent magnetic anisotropy and multiferroicity which can be attributable to the Jahn-Teller effect, being the benefit to potential spintronic applications. Intriguingly, an inherent coupling between magnetism and ferroelasticity in the most energetically favorable F/FeSe system is proposed. Our study thus not only provides a promising way to control the spintronic properties and construct multiferroics, but also renders F/FeSe an ideal platform for magnetism studies and practical high-performance multifunctional devices.

We find evidence for a new AFM transition in addition to two previously known from transport studies. We demonstrate the development of an additional Dirac state in the (+-+-) ordered phase and a transformation of unconventional surface-state pairs in the (++--) ordered phase. This revises the phase diagram of this intriguing material, where there are now three distinct AFM states below TN in zero magnetic field instead of two as it was previously thought.

description: Project management is a vital part of the public sector whose fundamental function is to develop projects that create effective services and enhance the existing ones (Selepe, 2023)—making project management skills a core competency for public officials like the Sangguniang Kabataan Council. In an initial assessment with the SK Council of Barangay Sapangbato, Angeles City, Pampanga, weak project management skills were revealed to be the council’s most pressing issue, specifically in time management and task division areas. This paper seeks to address this problem through instructional design by developing three (3) digital Self-Learning Modules on project management developed using instructional and multimedia design principles, theories of learning, learning objectives development, methods of assessment, Open Education concepts, and Online Learning models. A synchronous online class was conducted to pilot-test the first SLM. The summative assessment revealed the learners’ understanding of basic project management concepts such as project characteristics, life cycles, constraints, and relevant intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. The skills and knowledge that the learners can gain from the SLMs will enable them to design and conduct projects that aid in the holistic development of their members. Moreover, the SLMs can be a significant addition to the limited number of project management materials specially designed for the SK Council.

description: The multi-wavelength data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is extensively used in studying the physics of the Sun and its atmosphere. In this study, we estimate the formation heights of low-corona and chromospheric channels of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) over the atmospheres of sunspot umbrae during the quiet condition period within 20 different active regions. The upward propagating slow magnetoacoustic waves (slow MAWs) of 3-min period, which are perpetually present in sunspots, are utilized for this purpose. Employing a cross-correlation technique, the most frequent time lag between different channel pairs is measured. By combining this information with the local sound speed obtained from the characteristic formation temperatures of individual channels, we estimate the respective formation heights. The median values of formation heights obtained across all active regions in our sample are 356, 368, 858, 1180, and 1470 km, respectively, for the AIA 1600 Å, 1700 Å, 304 Å, 131 Å, and 171 Å channels. The corresponding ranges in the formation heights are 247 $\--$ 453, 260 $\--$ 468, 575 $\--$ 1155, 709 $\--$ 1937, and 909 $\--$ 2585 km, respectively. These values are measured with respect to the HMI continuum. We find the formation height of UV channels is quite stable (between 250 $\--$ 500 km) and displays only a marginal difference between the AIA 1600 Å and 1700 Å during quiet conditions. On the other hand, the formation height of coronal channels is quite variable.

NEWCOMERS: Comparison of national polycentric settings in the partner countries
Creators: name: Palm, Jenny
name: Eitrem Holmgren, Klara
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: Polycentric setting; energy system, electricity system, emissions, country comparison

description: This deliverable compares the national polycentric settings of the six partner countries of the NEWCOMERS project, i.e. Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The comparison is based on figures from Deliverable 3.1 (D3.1) that described the countries’ characteristics related to polycentric governance, with specific focus on the countries’ socio-technical systems and actors. The country comparisons in this deliverable focus on socioeconomic conditions, technical systems including energy and electricity production and consumption, institutional settings of renewable energy support and actors. The deliverable is the basis for D3.3, which are further discussed factors that hinder or enable the development of energy communities in the six NEWCOMERS countries. The figures in D3.1 have been updated when possible and are compared to figures of IEA or EU28 averages to enable a broader comparison of the countries’ national characteristics. The figures are based on existing literature, national reports and statistical information, with sources containing information about all six partner countries being prioritized. The following key takeaway messages from D3.2 can be outlined. The countries’ developments of ECs can be divided into three categories according to their current number of ECs: high (UK, DE); medium (NL, SE); and low (IT, SI). In relation to their population size, UK and NL have the highest relative numbers of ECs, followed by DE and SE and finally SI and IT. The comparisons of the six countries’ socio-economic conditions, technical systems and institutional settings suggest that there is a complex combination of national characteristics that enable polycentric governance and the establishment of ECs. When single characteristics were compared, there were seldom strong correlations between the countries’ relative rankings to one another and their current figures of ECs. These findings of D3.2 provide an interesting basis for D3.3 in discussions of the combination of settings that enable polycentric governance of ECs whilst linking to previous literature on EC development.

description: Primordial black holes (PBHs) hidden in the incredible bulk of the dark dimension could escape constraints from non-observation of their Hawking radiation. Since these five-dimensional (5D) PBHs are bigger, colder, and longer-lived than usual 4D PBHs of the same mass $M$, they could make all cosmological dark matter if $10^{11} \lesssim M/{\rm g} \lesssim 10^{21}$, i.e., extending the 4D allowed region far down the asteroid-mass window. We show that these evasive PBHs could be search for by measuring their $X$-ray microlensing events from faraway pulsars. We also show that future $X$-ray microlensing experiments will be able to probe the interesting range ($10^{16.5} \lesssim M/{\rm g} \lesssim 10^{17.5}~{\rm g}$) where an all dark matter interpretation in terms of 4D Schwarzschild PBHs is excluded by the non-observation of their Hawking radiation.

description: Социальные интернет-сети стали неотъемлемой частью современной жизни каждого человека. Их повсеместное распространение и активное использование оказывают значительное влияние на формирование и развитие русского языка. Интернет становится для общества не только оперативным и всесторонним источником информации, но и мощным каналом коммуникации, в котором каждый пользователь получает возможность высказаться и быть услышанным. В данной работе подробно анализируются изменения, которые претерпевает русский язык под влиянием социальных сетей: от фонетических и лексических до морфологических и синтаксических преобразований. Особое внимание уделено проблеме нарушения норм литературного языка, вызванного массовым использованием сленга, жаргонных выражений, а также сокращённых форм и графических символов, таких как смайлики и стикеры.

description: The recently discovered bright transient black hole candidate Swift J1727.8-1613 is studied in a broad energy range ($0.5-79$ keV) using combined NICER and NuSTAR data on 29 August 2023. A promonient type-C Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) at $0.89 \pm 0.01$ Hz with its harmonic was observed in NICER data of $0.5-10$ keV. Interestingly, the harmonic becomes weaker in the lower energy bands ($0.5-1$ & $1-3$ keV). We also report the first detection of a soft time-lag of $0.014 \pm 0.001$ s at the QPO frequency between harder ($3-10$ kev) and softer ($0.5-3$ keV) band photons observed with the NICER/XTI instrument. This indicates that the inclination of the accretion disk in the binary system might be high. From the detailed spectral analysis with the relxill reflection model, we found the disk inclination angle of source to be $\sim 85^\circ$. We discuss how the accretion flow configuration inferred from spectral analysis can help us to understand the origin of QPOs and soft lag in this source.

description: We present a shift theorem for solutions of the Poisson equation in a finite planar cone (and hence also on plane polygons) for Dirichlet, Neumann, and mixed boundary conditions. The range in which the shift theorem holds depends on the angle of the cone. For the right endpoint of the range, the shift theorem is described in terms of Besov spaces rather than Sobolev spaces.
