description: Shrinking pattern dimensions leads to an increased variety of defect types in semiconductor devices. This has spurred innovation in patterning approaches such as Directed self-assembly (DSA) for which no traditional, automatic defect inspection software exists. Machine Learning-based SEM image analysis has become an increasingly popular research topic for defect inspection with supervised ML models often showing the best performance. However, little research has been done on obtaining a dataset with high-quality labels for these supervised models. In this work, we propose a method for obtaining coherent and complete labels for a dataset of hexagonal contact hole DSA patterns while requiring minimal quality control effort from a DSA expert. We show that YOLOv8, a state-of-the-art neural network, achieves defect detection precisions of more than 0.9 mAP on our final dataset which best reflects DSA expert defect labeling expectations. We discuss the strengths and limitations of our proposed labeling approach and suggest directions for future work in data-centric ML-based defect inspection.

description: In type I seesaw models, the right-handed neutrinos are typically super-heavy, consistent with the generation of baryon asymmetry via standard leptogenesis. Primordial gravitational waves of cosmological origin provides a new window to probe such high scale physics, which would otherwise be inaccessible. By considering a {\em global} $U(1)_{B-L}$ extension of the type I seesaw model, we explore the connection between the heaviest right-handed neutrino mass and primordial gravitational waves arising from the dynamics of global cosmic string network. As a concrete example, we study a global $U(1)_{B-L}$ extension of the Littlest Seesaw model, and show that the inevitable GW signals, if detectable, probe the parameter space that can accommodate neutrino oscillation data and successful leptogenesis, while respecting theoretical constraints like perturbativity of the theory. Including CMB constraints from polarization and dark radiation leaves a large region of parameter space of the model, including the best fit regions, which can be probed by GW detectors like LISA and ET in the near future. In general, the GW detectors can test high scale type I seesaw models with the heaviest right-handed neutrino mass above $2.5 \times 10^{14}$ GeV, assuming the perturbativity, and $7 \times 10^{13}$ GeV assuming that the coupling between the heaviest right-handed neutrino and the $U(1)_{B-L}$ breaking scalar is less than unity.

description: We calculate the colour-ordered form factor for chiral primary operators built from J scalar fields of ABJ(M) theory to J scalar final states. We work in the 't Hooft limit and show that the leading quantum correction is order lambda squared, where lambda is the 't Hooft coupling. We evaluate this leading correction using standard Feynman diagrams and dimensional regularization, and find that the leading divergence is 1/epsilon^2 where the spacetime dimension is d = 3 - 2 epsilon. We further find that the result respects maximal transcendentality.

description: This paper investigates why financial market experts misperceive the interest rate policy of the European Central Bank (ECB). Assuming a Taylor-rule-type reaction function of the ECB, we use qualitative survey data on expectations about the future interest rate, inflation, and output to discover the sources of in- dividual interest rate forecast errors. Based on a panel random coefficient model, we show that financial experts have systematically misperceived the ECB's in- terest rate rule. However, although experts tend to overestimate the impact of inflation on future interest rates, perceptions of monetary policy have become more accurate since clarification of the ECB's monetary policy strategy in May 2003\. We find that this improved communication has reduced disagreement over the ECB's response to expected inflation during the financial crisis.
title: Effect of Symbiotic State on the Fatty Acid Composition of Anthopleura elegantissima
Creators: name: Quesada, Andrés J.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2015

description:
Anthopleura elegantissima, the most abundant intertidal sea anemone on the Pacific coast of North America, naturally occurs in three distinct symbiotic states: zooxanthellate (hosting the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium muscatinei), zoochlorellate (hosting the chlorophyte Elliptochloris marina), and aposymbiotic (lacking symbionts). S. muscatinei is more productive during summer months and may translocate considerably more carbon to the sea anemone host than does E. marina. Quantitative and qualitative differences in the contribution of energy from the symbiont are believed to affect host lipid levels, influencing growth and reproductive output. To study the effect of symbiotic state on host lipids in A. elegantissima, we collected ten specimens in each symbiotic state from the same habitat, separated symbiont and host tissues, and compared the fatty acid profiles of the two symbionts themselves, compared the fatty acid profiles of anemones in the three symbiotic states, and compared the profiles of the symbionts to their host anemones. We found significant differences in the fatty acid profiles of S. muscatinei and E. marina, with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), oleic acid, and α-linolenic acid contributing most to the differences. DHA was abundant in S. muscatinei, while E. marina contained high levels of oleic and α-linolenic acids. We found higher total fatty acid content in zooxanthellate hosts than in zoochlorellate hosts, supporting previous research suggesting that S. muscatinei is a more favorable symbiont. We also found that aposymbiotic sea anemones had significantly lower concentrations of total fatty acids than symbiotic hosts and overall lower levels of all fatty acids, including polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Because all the anemones came from the same habitat and should have had similar diets, and because cnidarians cannot synthesize PUFAs de novo, the depressed levels of fatty acids in aposymbiotic A. elegantissima suggest that these anemones deplete fatty acids faster due to the lack of symbiont photosynthate input. PUFAs play an important role in invertebrate growth and reproduction, so we expect symbiotic anemones to have higher fitness than aposymbiotic ones. Finally, although previous research suggests that symbionts translocate specific fatty acids to their cnidarian hosts, we found no evidence for fatty acid translocation in A. elegantissima. Our results reinforce the idea that hosting either type of symbiont increases the fitness of A. elegantissima, that hosting S. muscatinei may be more advantageous to the anemone, but do not support the hypothesis of fatty acid translocation between symbiont and host in this species.

description: The relation between the ECB’s main refinancing (MRO) rates and the money market is key for the monetary transmission process in the euro area. This paper investigates how money market rates respond to the new information revealed by MRO auctions. Our results confirm a stabilizing level relationship between the overnight rate Eonia and MRO rates before the financial crisis. Since the start of the financial crisis, however, we find that MRO auction outcomes even exacerbated the disconnection of money market rates from the policy-intended interest rate level. These findings support the fixed rate full allotment policy introduced by the ECB as an unconventionalmeasure to re- stabilize banks’ refinancing conditions.
title: The Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Attention and Rumination
Creators: name: David, Diana M.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University

description:
Mindfulness meditation (MM) has grown in popularity over the recent years, becoming a way in which to achieve awareness of the present moment. Benefits of MM include decreased rates of mind wandering, depression, and anxiety, as well as improvements in well-being and attention. However, MM researchers using novice meditators usually compare them to a passive control group or a control group that completes relaxation training. The present study used a cognitively active control group as a comparison group to examine the way attention, rumination, and mind wandering are affected by a short-term MM training. Participants were randomly assigned to complete one week of MM training or one week of poetry analysis. Participants completed measures before and after training, as well as seven days of experience sampling following the completion of training. Results indicated that all participants showed improvements in mindfulness and attention and declines in rumination, and that the two groups did not differ in the magnitude of these effects. Additionally, our longitudinal results indicated that attention did not mediate the relationship between mindfulness and rumination, but our experience sampling results suggested that state mind wandering mediated the relationship between state mindfulness and state rumination. These results suggest that individuals may need to reach intermediate levels of MM training before seeing effects distinct to MM practice.
title: The Effect of American Kestrels on Deterrence  of Bird Damage to Pacific Northwest Sweet Cherries
Creators: name: Leigh, Deanna K.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2015

description:
Bird damage to fruit crops causes major economic loss to growers. The Pacific Northwest leads sweet cherry production in North America, but few studies highlight the impacts of bird damage to cherries in this region. Growers currently employ a diverse range of bird-deterrent strategies, but there is little information regarding efficacy. A low-impact management practice common to the region is the use of kestrel nest boxes in orchards. The American kestrel (Falco sparverius), is a small falcon that may mitigate damage because it is territorial and preys on birds. My research objectives were to quantify bird damage and identify pest-bird species in Pacific Northwest sweet cherries, to determine whether kestrels were associated with reductions in bird damage and pest-bird density, and to determine which of the following factors were associated with high damage: distance from individual trees to the orchard edge, orchard size, bird-management practices and bird density. In 2013 I quantified and compared bird damage within paired plots for 8 plots with occupied kestrel boxes and 8 plots without kestrels. In 2014 I quantified bird damage, conducted variable-width transect surveys of birds, and monitored kestrel boxes in 19 orchard blocks. I used distance sampling methods to calculate bird density at each site and in relation to kestrel boxes. I compared amounts of damage and bird density at varying distances from occupied kestrel boxes. I classified orchards by size and bird density and compared damage among classes. In both years I looked for a linear relationship between percent bird damage on a branch and distance from the tree to the orchard edge and I quantified bird-management practices encountered, assigned a management rank to each site and compared damage among ranks. I observed low damage rates overall, with mean losses of 2.08% in 2013 and 1.17% in 2014. Median losses were 2.09% and 0.83%, respectively. Damage was significantly lower in two kestrel plots compared to paired plots without kestrels in 2013, but results were potentially confounded by edge effects. Kestrels did not appear to influence amounts of damage or bird density in 2014. In 2014 damage was higher near orchard edges and in small orchards with high bird density. Trends related to bird management were ambiguous. Cherry-eating birds accounted for 84% of detections for 22 species observed in orchards. American robins (Turdus migratorius), American goldfinches (Spinus tristis) and house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) were the most abundant, representing 35%, 16% and 12% of detections.

title: Adaptive Variation in Desiccation Resistance in Rhagoletis
Creators: name: Hill, Jennifer L.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2016

description:
Despite the ever-present challenges associated with invasive species, many environmental barriers exist that limit the spread of exotics. However, there is a growing number of examples of species overcoming these constraints via adaptive evolution years or decades after their initial introduction. The necessary genetic variation stems either from hybridization with a closely related species, or from shifting allele frequencies from standing variation in the population. Since its introduction to the Pacific Northwest, the apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh 1867), has invaded all of coastal Washington, but has only small, isolated populations in the central and eastern parts of the state. The Cascade Mountains form a rain shadow that restricts the amount of precipitation in these regions, making it much drier than the western parts of Washington. I investigated aridity as an environmental constraint for the spread of R. pomonella, as well as potential sources of genetic variation for desiccation resistance in sympatric populations. First, I tested the potential for dry conditions, like those in the interior of Washington, to influence fitness in Rhagoletis flies, and act as a factor limiting their distribution. I found that individuals from a wetter part of Washington did not survive as well in dry conditions, but that individuals from a drier location were unaffected by desiccation treatment. The percent of weight that each pupa had remaining after treatment was the best predictor of survival. Second, I examined the variation in desiccation resistance in R. pomonellaʼs native sister-species, R. zephyria across a finer environmental gradient, to look at possible adaptive variation within the species. I found that R. zephyria pupae from west of the Cascade Range show less desiccation resistance than those east of the Range, and that this pattern is indicative of local adaptation. Average annual precipitation and elevation of each transect site were the best predictors of how much weight each pupa would retain after desiccation treatment. Finally, I measured desiccation resistance between apple-infesting R. pomonella, and hawthorn-infesting R. pomonella to begin to gauge the possible standing variation present in the speciesʼ genome. I found that the hawthorn host-race shows significantly more desiccation resistance than the apple host-race. This could be because the hawthorn hostrace must endure a longer pre-winter diapause period, when conditions would be less favorable for water-balance strategies. The factors limiting the spread of R. pomonella are complex, but variation exists in both a native sister species and a sympatric host race. Determining whether there is a genetic factor associated with resistance would allow us to begin to gauge the relative importance of introgression and standing variation in the invasion of R. pomonella into the Pacific Northwest.

description: This study explores the effects of market deregulation on employment growth. Empirical analysis of an OECD country panel (1990-2004) suggests that lower levels of product and labor market regulation foster employment growth, including through sizable interaction effects. A theoretical framework is developed for evaluating deregulation strategies in the presence of reform costs. Optimal deregulation takes various forms depending on the deregulation costs and the strength of reform interactions. Compared to the first best, decentralized decision-making can lead to excessive or insufficient deregulation. Securing the first best requires coordinating deregulation activities across sectors and overcoming the partial perspective of decision makers.

description: This work offers new insights into the determinants of service offshoring across countries and across service industries. Combining different data sources over the 2006-2009 period, I find that certain country characteristics affect offshoring costs for all services, while the effects of other characteristics depend on the coordination requirements of the respective service industry. The results from a zero-inflated Poisson pseudomaximum likelihood estimation indicate that the effects of a membership in NAFTA, and a common colonial past on service offshoring patterns depend on the task content of the services. These results are robust to the control for unobservable country-level heterogeneity. The quality of legal institutions, a common legal origin, geographic distance, and time zone differences influence offshoring patterns identically across all service industries.
title: Bolstering Emergency Management with Technological Tools: Opportunities for 'E-Resilience' Collaborations in Hampton Roads
Creators: name: Blake, Ren-Neasha Royanna
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Emergency management continues to ignite policy discussions globally. With the growing impacts of climate change, pandemics, and the international political economy (IPE), more resources are invested in emergency resilience. Researchers in the Hampton Roads area underscore the growing need for emergency management strategies, especially considering the recurrence of natural disasters in the area. To that end, seminars, workshops, and conferences are held annually to convene key stakeholders on this subject. Simultaneously, there is rapid growth in global technological innovations that aim at bolstering countries’ resiliency thrust. These technological innovations gave rise to the 21st-century buzzword ‘e-resilience’. E-resilience involves the use of technology in advancing emergency management. The United Nations continues to promote the e-resilience thrust, highlighting the significant role technology plays in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from emergencies. Whether through cellular phone applications, geographic information systems (GIS), data-free services, or satellite imageries, technology is value-added in times of emergency. The main purpose of this study will be to unearth feasible technological tools to bolster emergency management in the Hampton Roads area. Furthermore, to decipher the collaborations and non-technological components needed for e-resilience. A phenomenology methodology will be adopted, underpinned by the social constructivist research paradigm. Data will be collected through elite interviews, focus group discussions, and secondary data review. The researcher will aim at documenting the perception of policy experts on e-resilience, based on their lived experiences and expert knowledge in emergency management. As is evidenced by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, researches into the technological facets of emergency management are pivotal. The findings from this study will be significant for both theory and practice in emergency management, and for the wider public policy and government spheres.
Different glassy characteristics are related to either caging or dynamical heterogeneity

description: Despite the enormous theoretical and application interests, a fundamental understanding of the glassy dynamics remains elusive. The static properties of glassy and ordinary liquids are similar, but their dynamics are dramatically different. What leads to this difference is the central puzzle of the field. Even the primary defining glassy characteristics, their implications, and if they are related to a single mechanism remain unclear. This lack of clarity is a severe hindrance to theoretical progress. Here, we combine analytical arguments and simulations of various systems in different dimensions and address these questions. Our results suggest that the myriad of glassy features are manifestations of two distinct mechanisms. Particle caging controls the mean, and coexisting slow- and fast-moving regions govern the distribution of particle displacements. All the other glassy characteristics are manifestations of these two mechanisms; thus, the Fickian yet non-Gaussian nature of glassy liquids is not surprising. Our results have crucial implications on how the glassy dynamics data are analyzed, challenge some recent suggestions on the mechanisms governing gassy dynamics, and impose strict constraints that a correct theory of glasses must have.

description: European economies are characterized by unionized labor markets and a pronounced governmental redistribution of income. This paper studies a model where those two fea- tures are combined with the possibility for individuals to make charitable contributions to the poor. The model exhibits equilibrium unemployment that increases with the de- gree of altruism. It is shown that a more progressive income tax can both reduce the unemployment rate and improve the public budget. These results are driven by charity increasing wage pressure and the altruistic rich failing to internalize the e¤ect of their donations on the wage setting behavior of the unions.

description: We investigate the hypothesis of failed integration and low social mobility of immigrants. For this purpose, an intergenerational assimilation model is tested empirically on household survey data and validated against administrative data provided by the Italian Embassy in Germany. In line with previous studies, we confirm substantial inequality of educational achievements between immigrants and natives. However, we find that the children of Italian immigrants exhibit fairly high intergenerational mobility. Furthermore, holding parental education constant, Italian second generation immigrants show no less opportunities than natives to achieve high schooling degrees. These findings suggest a rejection of the failed integration hypothesis.

description: The long-lived electronic spin of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is a promising quantum sensor for detecting nanoscopic magnetic and electric fields in a variety of experimental conditions. Nevertheless, an outstanding challenge in improving measurement sensitivity is the poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of prevalent optical spin-readout techniques. Here, we address this limitation by coupling individual NV centers to optimized diamond nanopillar structures, thereby improving optical collection efficiency of fluorescence. First, we optimize the structure in simulation, observing an increase in collection efficiency for tall ($\geq$ 5 $μ$m) pillars with tapered sidewalls. We subsequently verify these predictions by fabricating and characterizing a representative set of structures using a reliable and reproducible nanofabrication process. An optimized device yields increased SNR, owing to improvements in collimation and directionality of emission. Promisingly, these devices are compatible with low-numerical-aperture, long-working-distance collection optics, as well as reduced tip radius, facilitating improved spatial resolution for scanning applications.

description: Heavy metal contamination is a serious concern that needs to be addressed in order to prevent the severe health effect caused from its exposure through drinking water. Activated carbon is the adsorbent of existing water filters available in the market but it has some limitations in removing metal contaminants such as lead. Literatures report, biochar shows higher adsorption potential in removing lead from drinking water than that of activated carbon due to the presence of oxygen containing functional group. Biochar has lower energy demand, lower global warming potential impact, and retrieve more cost efficiently than activated carbon for metal removal. The current study presents the experiences of designing, testing, and operating a low-cost biochar water filter for removing lead from drinking water. To make a customized filter, three major steps are conceived including (i) making biochar, (ii) granulating biochar, and (iii) packing granulated biochar in a filter casing. Small-scale biochar maker is constructed by using recyclable household materials like food cans. A handcrafted or low-technology method for granulation of biochar powder have been implemented. The product will be developed simulating the process of actual faucet flow rate and mimicing the practical lead contamination condition. The filter will be highly effective (with 99.99% reduction efficiency) in providing protection from lead contamination. The filter is unique since it uses the adsorption potential of biochar and can be made at a nominal cost (< $1 per unit) from locally available biomass waste and recyclable materials. This will provide significant benefits in water purification technology and metal contamination management not only for the developed world but also to the developing countries with subpar infrastructure.

description: We describe an ultracold fermionic set-up where it is possible to synthesize a superfluid phase with symmetry obtained by locking independent invariance groups of the normal state. In this phase, named two-flavors symmetry-locking phase (TFSL), non-Abelian fractional vortices with semi-integer flux and gapless non-Abelian Goldstone modes localized on them appear. Considerations on the possible experimental realization of the TFSL are also provided.

description: We describe an experiment in which one member of a polarization-entangled photon pair is stored in an active "loop and switch" type quantum memory device, while the other propagates through a passive optical delay line. A comparison of Bell's inequality tests performed before and after the storage is used to investigate the ability of the memory to maintain entanglement, and demonstrate a rudimentary entanglement distribution protocol. The entangled photons are produced by a conventional Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion source with center wavelengths at 780 nm and bandwidths of $\sim$10 THz, while the memory has an even wider operational bandwidth that is enabled by the weakly dispersive nature of the Pockels effect used for polarization-insensitive switching in the loop-based quantum memory platform.

description: Was Germany ever united? Given the historical circumstances of Germany’s unification in the 19th century there is no obvious answer to this question. But such an answer can affect the prospects of the post-1989 unification process, and beyond this of European integration. We provide an econometric analysis of Germany’s economic integration across various internal borders from the foundation of the Kaiserreich until the end of the Weimar Republic. This analysis is based on a new comprehensive set of domestic tradeflow data on railways and waterways, covering all parts of Germany 1885-1933. First, the disintegration effects by the separation of Alsace-Lorraine and Western Poland from Germany after the Versailles treaty were somewhat limited by previous disintegration of these regions. Second, while there is broad support for increasing integration across old political, administrative, and confessional borders between 1885 and 1933, a geographical divide between eastern and western parts of Germany had a persistent trade diverting effect well into the 1930s.

description: Thin films of molybendum disulfide grown via thermal atomic layer deposition at low temperatures, suitable for temperature sensible substrates, can be amorphous. To avoid a high temperature post treatment of the whole sample, which can cause thermal degradation of the substrate or other layers, a ultrashort pulse (usp) laser-induced transformation to crystalline layers is one of the most promising routes. In this paper we report the crystallization of amorphous MoS$_2$ layers processed with ultrashort laser pulses. The amorphous MoS$_2$ films were deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and exposed to picosecond laser pulses ($λ= 532$ nm). The crystallization and the influence of the processing parameters on the film morphology were analyzed in detail by Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, a transition of amorphous MoS$_2$ by laser annealing to self-organized patterns is demonstrated and a possible process mechanism for the ultrashort pulse laser annealing is discussed. Finally, the usp laser annealed films were compared to thermally and continuous wave (cw) laser annealed samples.

description: Grating magneto-optical traps are an enabling quantum technology for portable metrological devices with ultracold atoms. However, beam diffraction efficiency and angle are affected by wavelength, creating a single-optic design challenge for laser cooling in two stages at two distinct wavelengths - as commonly used for loading e.g. Sr or Yb atoms into optical lattice or tweezer clocks. Here, we optically characterize a wide variety of binary gratings at different wavelengths to find a simple empirical fit to experimental grating diffraction efficiency data in terms of dimensionless etch depth and period for various duty cycles. The model avoids complex 3D light-grating surface calculations, yet still yields results accurate to a few percent across a broad range of parameters. Gratings optimized for two (or more) wavelengths can now be designed in an informed manner suitable for a wide class of atomic species enabling advanced quantum technologies.

title: Alle origini della moderna responsabilità extracontrattuale. L’actio ex lege Aquilia tra “natura penale” e “funzione reipersecutoria”.
Creators: name: Rossetti, Giulietta
Publisher: name: forum historiae iuris
Year: 2020

description: Although the lex Aquilia de damno is commonly considered the historical origin of modern civil Liability, this communis opinio requires some critical observations from a romanistic point of view. Infact the actio ex lege Aquilia was an actio poenalis, that is an actio with a penal nature, sed this actio has been intended to rei persecutio, that is to guarantee to the injured party the patrimonial compensation. This essay is based on the exegesis of some interesting giurisprudential passages that attest actio ex lege Aquilia “ad rei persecutionem respicit” (e.g. Paul. D.17.2.50; Paul. D.44.7.34.2) and discuss the alternative concurrence between this actio and actiones ex contractu ex eodem facto. After the focus about other aspects of actio legis Aquiliae’s classical depenalization, the final part of this essay concerns the actio damni dati in factum ex lege Aquilia introduced by Iustinian for compensation every kind of damages.
description: Sebbene la communis opinio individui l’origine storica della moderna responsabilità extracontrattuale nella lex Aquilia de damno, nell’ottica del diritto romano questo luogo comune richiede diverse osservazioni critiche. Infatti l’actio ex lege Aquilia era un’actio poenalis, cioè un’azione con natura penale, ma diretta alla rei persecutio, cioè alla reintegrazione patrimoniale della vittima. Il contributo fa il focus sulla ‘funzione reipersecutoria’ dell’azione aquiliana e analizza innanzitutto le fonti giurisprudenziali che la attestano espressamente al fine di giustificare il concorso alternativo con le azioni contrattuali nascenti ex eodem facto. Inoltre si esaminano altri profili del graduale percorso di depenalizzazione dell’azione aquiliana al fine di dimostrare attraverso l’esegesi delle soluzioni giurisprudenziali, che è proprio durante il periodo classico che si pongono le premesse per la definitiva affermazione della funzione risarcitoria generale dell’azione aquiliana, che culminerà nella costruzione ad opera di Giustiniano dell’actio damni dati in factum ex lege Aquilia, un’azione generale diretta a sanzionare qualsiasi tipo di danno.

description: In view of rising concerns over increasing inequality in the European Union since the financial crisis, this study provides an inequality decomposition of the overall European income distribution by country. The EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions are our empirical basis. Inequality has risen moderately within the core Euro area, particularly in the last two years of the observation period (2010/11). Widening disparities between EU Member States are the driving force behind this trend, while inequalities within countries do not exhibit systematic changes. An analysis of binational distributions reveals that it is the countries hit worst by the crisis—Greece and Spain—for which the between‐country disparities have changed most markedly.
