Regulating refugees: The relationship between regime type and political asylum in China and Malaysia
Creators: name: Seng, Erica Lauren
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study analyzes the impact that political regime type has on immigration and asylum policies. The following two hypotheses are tested: greater degrees of political centralization will determine the extent to which asylum policy can be successfully formed and implemented and that greater degree of political openness in a regime will lead to greater difficulty in successfully forming and implementing a coherent policy of asylum. In order to account for the sheer number of refugees within East Asia and to further the existing research on the impact of non-democratic regime on policy, I conduct a comparative case study between Burmese asylum seekers in the Federation of Malaysia, a hybrid regime, and North Korean asylum seekers the People's Republic of China, an authoritarian regime. My findings indicate that greater degrees of political decentralization and political openness do limit the creation and implementation of coherent immigration and political asylum policy measures.

description: In this paper we describe in detail the computation of the scattering amplitudes of massive spin-2 Kaluza-Klein excitations in a gravitational theory with a single compact extra dimension, whether flat or warped. These scattering amplitudes are characterized by intricate cancellations between different contributions: although individual contributions may grow as fast as ${\cal O}(s^5)$, the full results grow only as ${\cal O}(s)$. We demonstrate that the cancellations persist for all incoming and outgoing particle helicities and examine how truncating the computation to only include a finite number of intermediate states impacts the accuracy of the results. We also carefully assess the range of validity of the low energy effective Kaluza-Klein theory. In particular, for the warped case we demonstrate directly how an emergent low energy scale controls the size of the scattering amplitude, as conjectured by the AdS/CFT correspondence.

description: In the present paper we prove the integrability (in the sense of existence of formal symmetry of infinite rank) for a class of block-triangular inhomogeneous extensions of (1+1)-dimensional integrable evolution systems. An important consequence of this result is the existence of formal symmetry of infinite rank for "almost integrable" systems, recently discovered by Sanders and van der Kamp.

A morphological comparison of feeding structures among amphipod species from different habitats
Creators: name: Chu, Kerry L.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: North American amphipods in the families Gammaridae and Crangonyctidae are found in springs and in the subterranean. Such diverse environments are assumed to have extreme differences in food therefore the amphipods in these habitats should have differences in their structures that sense and manipulate foods. To ascertain if differences in habitat and food sources result in different morphology, thirteen species of amphipods from these two families were analyzed. The antennae, pereon, mandibles, and gnathopods were dissected from the amphipods, prepared, and viewed under the SEM. Comparisons between the surface and cave stream species and within the subterranean habitats showed that amphipods within the same species and within the same habitat had varying structures. However, maxillae I & II and the maxillipeds showed no differences in the thirteen species. Due to large variations within the habitats and species, amphipods can be categorized as generalists in terms of feeding habits and morphology.

description: Image search can be tackled using deep features from pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). The feature map from the last convolutional layer of a CNN encodes descriptive information from which a discriminative global descriptor can be obtained. We propose a new representation of co-occurrences from deep convolutional features to extract additional relevant information from this last convolutional layer. Combining this co-occurrence map with the feature map, we achieve an improved image representation. We present two different methods to get the co-occurrence representation, the first one based on direct aggregation of activations, and the second one, based on a trainable co-occurrence representation. The image descriptors derived from our methodology improve the performance in very well-known image retrieval datasets as we prove in the experiments.

description: We propose a semiparametric local polynomial Whittle with noise estimator of the memory pa- rameter in long memory time series perturbed by a noise term which may be serially correlated. The estimator approximates the log-spectrum of the short-memory component of the signal as well as that of the perturbation by two separate polynomials. Including these polynomials we obtain a reduction in the order of magnitude of the bias, but also inate the asymptotic vari- ance of the long memory estimator by a multiplicative constant. We show that the estimator is consistent for d 2 (0; 1), asymptotically normal for d 2 (0; 3=4), and if the spectral density is sufficiently smooth near frequency zero, the rate of convergence can become arbitrarily close to the parametric rate, pn. A Monte Carlo study reveals that the proposed estimator performs well in the presence of a serially correlated perturbation term. Furthermore, an empirical in- vestigation of the 30 DJIA stocks shows that this estimator indicates stronger persistence in volatility than the standard local Whittle (with noise) estimator.

German as a foreign language

description: A sound reflection and analysis of linguistic input quality in German as a foreign language classroom can be made easier through lesson study, peer observation and an observation scheme. Based on the Teacher Input Observation Scheme TIOS (Kersten 2018), we, therefore, developed an observation form for linguistic input quality at South Tyrolean elementary schools, the LIOS II (Language Input Observation Scheme). The categories of the observation scheme, called LIOS II, also serve as a checklist for lesson planning and as a basis for peer observation and support lifelong learning. To ensure greater objectivity and validity during peer observation, we designed a detailed framework with verbal descriptors. During the pilot phase, a team of primary school teachers and a team of researchers evaluated the transcript of a lesson in German as a foreign language. Based on the numerical evaluations on a five-point rating scale and the discussions with the focus group, we revised the LIOS II. Especially in the categories "students are active, and tasks are problem-solving" and "explanations and comparisons", there emerged different evaluations and a lively discussion. We then revised these categories in the verbal descriptors accordingly. During the next phase of the project – a lesson study in an elementary school – the LIOS II will serve as a checklist for lesson planning and as an observation scheme for peer observation. So, the LIOS II can provide a helpful instrument for lifelong learning in the field of linguistic input quality

description: A series of dual-phase high-entropy ultrahigh temperature ceramics (DPHE-UHTCs) are fabricated starting from N binary borides and (5-N) binary carbides powders. >~99% relative densities have been achieved with virtually no native oxides. These DPHE-UHTCs consist of a hexagonal high-entropy boride (HEB) phase and a cubic high-entropy carbide (HEC) phase. A thermodynamic relation that governs the compositions of the HEB and HEC phases in equilibrium is discovered and a thermodynamic model is proposed. These DPHE-UHTCs exhibit tunable grain size, Vickers microhardness, Young' and shear moduli, and thermal conductivity. The DPHE-UHTCs have higher hardness than the weighted linear average of the two single-phase HEB and HEC, which are already harder than the rule-of-mixture averages of individual binary borides and carbides. This study extends the state of the art by introducing dual-phase high-entropy ceramics (DPHECs), which provide a new platform to tailor various properties via changing the phase fraction and microstructure.

description: We use the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) to explore the effects of marriage and cohabitation on gay, lesbian, bisexual and heterosexual individuals’ hours worked and full-time earnings. The CCHS is one of the largest national-level data sets containing both income and sexual orientation information (Carpenter, 2008). Partnered gay and bisexual men spend more hours in paid employment than their unattached counterparts. However, for those working more than 30 hours per week, the earnings advantage of partnered gay and bisexual men relative to the unattached is insignificant. The hours worked of partnered and unattached lesbians are indistinguishable, however partnered lesbians earn about ten percent more than the unattached. Bisexual men and women experience some of the worst labor market outcomes of any group. These findings suggest that caution should be employed when generalizing results based on studies of cohabiting gay and lesbian couples to the entire non-heterosexual population.

The emphasis is on the tasks of the police to ensure state sovereignty, territorial integrity, repel armed aggression and maintain internal security and order in the country. It is emphasized that the activities of the police are based on the principle of legality, defined by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, in particular the Law "On the National Police of Ukraine". Separately, emphasis is placed on the regulation of police activities during martial law by the Law of Ukraine "On the Legal Regime of Martial Law", which determines possible restrictions on the rights and freedoms of citizens during this period. The importance of improving interaction between the police and the public for effective law and order is emphasized. The possibility of participation of special purpose police units for the defense of Ukraine, in cooperation with other military formations, is considered. An example of the creation of a new type of paramilitary unit - the Joint Assault Brigade of the National Police of Ukraine "Lyut" - is given, and its main tasks are defined, including repelling armed aggression, eliminating armed conflicts, ensuring public order and supporting other law enforcement agencies. The work emphasizes the multifunctionality of internal affairs bodies and their role in countering military threats, realizing national interests.

description: Surface integral equation (SIE) methods are of great interest for the numerical solution of Maxwell's equations in the presence of homogeneous objects. However, existing SIE algorithms have limitations, either in terms of scalability, frequency range, or material properties. We present a scalable SIE algorithm based on the generalized impedance boundary condition which can efficiently handle, in a unified manner, both dielectrics and conductors over a wide range of conductivity, size and frequency. We devise an efficient strategy for the iterative solution of the resulting equations, with efficient preconditioners and an object-specific use of the adaptive integral method. With a rigorous error analysis, we demonstrate that the adaptive integral method can be applied over a wide range of frequencies and conductivities. Several numerical examples, drawn from different applications, demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

description: We have performed a fully three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulation of jet formation from a thin accretion disk around a Schwarzschild black hole with a free-falling corona. The initial simulation results show that a bipolar jet (velocity $\sim 0.3c$) is created as shown by previous two-dimensional axisymmetric simulations with mirror symmetry at the equator. The 3-D simulation ran over one hundred light-crossing time units ($τ_{\rm S} = r_{\rm S}/c$ where $r_{\rm S} \equiv 2GM/c^2$) which is considerably longer than the previous simulations. We show that the jet is initially formed as predicted due in part to magnetic pressure from the twisting the initially uniform magnetic field and from gas pressure associated with shock formation in the region around $r = 3 r_{\rm S}$. At later times, the accretion disk becomes thick and the jet fades resulting in a wind that is ejected from the surface of the thickened (torus-like) disk. It should be noted that no streaming matter from a donor is included at the outer boundary in the simulation (an isolated black hole not binary black hole). The wind flows outwards with a wider angle than the initial jet. The widening of the jet is consistent with the outward moving torsional Alfvén waves (TAWs). This evolution of disk-jet coupling suggests that the jet fades with a thickened accretion disk due to the lack of streaming material from an accompanying star.

description: We set out a model of a two-good, small open economy exporting a traditional exportable in order to finance capital goods rental payments. We observe that the traditional export sector declines with an exogenous increase in the country's oil export earnings, while the local goods sector expands. For input price effects to emerge, land is needed as a third input. For the "large land" case, we can have imports of capital steadily decline as oil earnings expand. Earnings from oil sales are stationary under our annuitization construction.

Some possibilities of constructing a meaningful variational principle are discussed.

description: Direct detection experiments aimed at uncovering the elusive nature of dark matter (DM) have made significant progress in probing ever lower cross-sections for DM-nucleon interactions. At the same time, an upper limit in the cross-section sensitivity region is present due to DM scattering in the Earth and atmosphere and as a result never reaching the detector. We investigate the impact of this effect for both spin-dependent and spin-independent interactions. In contrast to previous studies that assume a straight line path for DM scattering we employ a semi-analytic diffusion model that takes into account the impact of potentially large angle deviations prevalent for light DM masses. We find that for sufficiently low energy thresholds, this difference in modelling impacts the DM interaction cross-section sensitivity. This study evaluates the impact in the context of the QUEST-DMC experiment, which utilises surface-based detectors with superfluid Helium-3 bolometers to search for sub-GeV DM exploiting low energy threshold. At masses below 1 GeV$/c^2$ the deviation between the two frameworks becomes pronounced. The ceiling sensitivity limit for QUEST-DMC on spin-dependent DM-neutron cross-sections is $\sim 3 \times 10^{-24}$ cm$^2$ using the diffusive framework and approximately doubles with the straight-line path DM scattering. Similarly, for spin-independent DM-nucleon cross-sections, the ceiling limit is $\sim 7.5 \times 10^{-27}$ cm$^2$ under the diffusive framework and also increases about a factor of two with the straight-line path approximation, within the mass range of 0.025-5 GeV$/c^2$.

description: A binary quenched-annealed hard core mixture is considered in one dimension in order to model fluid adsorbates in narrow channels filled with a random matrix. Two different density functional approaches are employed to calculate adsorbate bulk properties and interface structure at matrix surfaces. The first approach uses Percus' functional for the annealed component and an explicit averaging over matrix configurations; this provides numerically exact results for the bulk partition coefficient and for inhomogeneous density profiles. The second approach is based on a quenched-annealed density functional whose results we find to approximate very well those of the former over the full range of possible densities. Furthermore we give a derivation of the underlying replica density functional theory.

description: Recent measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and distance moduli from Type Ia supernovae suggest a preference for Dynamical Dark Energy (DDE) scenarios characterized by a time-varying equation of state (EoS). This focused review assesses its robustness across independent measurements and surveys. Using the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) parametrization to describe the evolution of the DE EoS, we analyze over 35 dataset combinations, incorporating Planck Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies, three independent Type Ia supernova (SN) catalogs (PantheonPlus, Union3, DESY5), BAO measurements from DESI and SDSS, and expansion rate measurements $H(z)$ inferred from the relative ages of massive, passively evolving galaxies at early cosmic times known as Cosmic Chronometers (CC). This review has two main objectives: first, to evaluate the statistical significance of the DDE preference across different dataset combinations, which incorporate varying sources of information. Specifically, we consider cases where only low-redshift probes are used in different combinations, others where individual low-redshift probes are analyzed together with CMB data, and finally, scenarios where high- and low-redshift probes are included in all possible independent combinations. Second, we provide a reader-friendly synthesis of what the latest cosmological and astrophysical probes can (and cannot yet) reveal about DDE. Overall, our findings highlight that combinations that \textit{simultaneously} include PantheonPlus SN and SDSS BAO significantly weaken the preference for DDE. However, intriguing hints supporting DDE emerge in combinations that do not include DESI-BAO measurements: SDSS-BAO combined with SN from Union3 and DESY5 (with and without CMB) support the preference for DDE.

description: In this paper we show how rotational bands of resonances can be described by using trajectories of poles of the scattering amplitude in the complex angular momentum plane: each band of resonances is represented by the evolution of a single pole lying in the first quadrant of the plane. The main result of the paper consists in showing that also the antiresonances (or echoes) can be described by trajectories of the scattering amplitude poles, instead of using the hard-sphere potential scattering as prescribed by the classical Breit-Wigner theory. The antiresonance poles lie in the fourth quadrant of the complex angular momentum plane, and are associated with non-local potentials which take into account the exchange forces; it derives a clear-cut separation between resonance and antiresonance poles. The evolution of these latter poles describes the passage from quantum to semi-classical physics. The theory is tested on the rotational band produced by $α$-$α$ elastic scattering and on the hadronic rotational bands in $π^+$-p elastic scattering.

Computer examples reveal that small differences in re- gional endowments result in large differences in equilibrium out- comes for two regions, under optimal transfers.

description: This paper presents a theoretical description of both the valley Zeeman effect (g-factors) and Landau levels in two-dimensional H-phase transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) using the Luttinger-Kohn approximation with spin-orbit coupling. At the valley extrema in TMDs, energy bands split into Landau levels with a Zeeman shift in the presence of a uniform out-of-plane external magnetic field. The Landau level indices are symmetric in the $K$ and $K'$ valleys. We develop a numerical approach to compute the single band g-factors from first principles without the need for a sum over unoccupied bands. Many-body effects are included perturbatively within the GW approximation. Non-local exchange and correlation self-energy effects in the GW calculations increase the magnitude of single band g-factors compared to those obtained from density functional theory. Our first principles results give spin- and valley-split Landau levels, in agreement with recent optical experiments. The exciton g-factors deduced in this work are also in good agreement with experiment for the bright and dark excitons in monolayer WSe$_2$, as well as the lowest-energy bright excitons in MoSe$_2$-WSe$_2$ heterobilayers with different twist angles.

description: North American amphipods in the families Gammaridae and Crangonyctidae are found in springs and in the subterranean. Such diverse environments are assumed to have extreme differences in food therefore the amphipods in these habitats should have differences in their structures that sense and manipulate foods. To ascertain if differences in habitat and food sources result in different morphology, thirteen species of amphipods from these two families were analyzed. The antennae, pereon, mandibles, and gnathopods were dissected from the amphipods, prepared, and viewed under the SEM. Comparisons between the surface and cave stream species and within the subterranean habitats showed that amphipods within the same species and within the same habitat had varying structures. However, maxillae I & II and the maxillipeds showed no differences in the thirteen species. Due to large variations within the habitats and species, amphipods can be categorized as generalists in terms of feeding habits and morphology.

academization

description: This paper aims to evaluate the adequacy of employees’ job requirements compared to their qualification and to identify typical qualification sequences and career paths in the commercial field. The results aim to contribute to the debate on the relevance of vocational qualifications in the labour market, driven by the trends of academisation in some occupational fields. The analyses are carried out based on the data from the follow-up survey to the BIBB/BAUA Employment Survey of 2018. With regard to qualification-adequate employment, the results show sector-specific differences. Overall, qualification adequacy is higher in the tourism and banking sectors than in trade and logistics. The quantitative analysis of typical training sequences in the four sectors also confirms the important significance of professional career paths in trade and logistics.
Can Late Dark Energy Transitions Raise the Hubble constant?

description: Late times dark energy transitions at redshifts $z \ll 0.1$ can raise the predicted value of the Hubble constant to the SH0ES value, $74.03\pm 1.42$ (km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1})$ or more, while providing an equally good fit as $Λ$CDM at $67.73 \pm 0.41$ to higher redshift data, in particular from the cosmic microwave background and baryon acoustic oscillations. These models however do not fully resolve the true source of tension between the distance ladder and high redshift observations: the local calibration of supernovae luminosities well out into the Hubble flow. When tested in this manner by transferring the SH0ES calibration to the Pantheon supernovae dataset, the ability of such transitions to raise the Hubble constant is reduced to $69.17 \pm 1.09$. Such an analysis should also be used when testing any dynamical dark energy model which can produce similarly fine features in redshift or local void models.

description: Clearinghouses support financial trades by keeping records of transactions and by providing liquidity through short-term credit that is periodically cleared by participants. We study efficient clearing arrangements for formal exchanges, where traders must clear with a clearinghouse, and for over-the-counter (OTC) markets, where trades can be cleared bilaterally. When clearing is costly, we show that it can be efficient to subsidize the clearing process for OTC transactions by charging a higher price for the clearing of transactions in exchanges. This necessitates a clearinghouse that operates across both markets. As a clearinghouse offers credit, intertemporal incentives are needed in order to ensure settlement. An increase in the costs of liquidity provision worsens the incentives to settle. Hence, when liquidity costs increase, concerns about default must lead to a tightening of liquidity provision.

description: We report palaeointensity estimates obtained from three Oligocene volcanic sections from the Kerguelen Archipelago (Mont des Ruches, Mont des Tempetes, and Mont Rabouillere). Of 402 available samples, 102 were suitable for a palaeofield strength determination after a preliminary selection, among which 49 provide a reliable estimate. Application of strict a posteriori criteria make us confident about the quality of the 12 new mean-flow determinations, which are the first reliable data available for the Kerguelen Archipelago. The Virtual Dipole Moments (VDM) calculated for these flows vary from 2.78 to 9.47 10e22 Am2 with an arithmetic mean value of 6.15+-2.1 10e22 Am2. Compilation of these results with a selection of the 2002 updated IAGA palaeointensity database lead to a higher (5.4+-2.3 10e22 Am2) Oligocene mean VDM than previously reported, identical to the 5.5+-2.4 10e22 Am2 mean VDM obtained for the 0.3-5 Ma time window. However, these Kerguelen palaeointensity estimates represent half of the reliable Oligocene determinations and thus a bias toward higher values. Nonetheless, the new estimates reported here strengthen the conclusion that the recent geomagnetic field strength is anomalously high compared to that older than 0.3 Ma.

description: Research has found that we have a tendency to automatically evaluate others based on facial attractiveness and that we nonconsciously mimic one another during social interactions. The purpose of this study was to examine whether individual differences in automatic bias for attractiveness predicted behavioral mimicry. Participants watched a video depicting an actor of the opposite sex reading a script while touching his/her face continuously. Participants were surreptitiously videotaped while watching the video. Afterwards their automatic evaluation of facial attractiveness was assessed. As expected, participants who showed a high automatic bias for attractiveness were more likely to mimic the face-touching behavior of the actor in the video if they perceived him/her to be attractive rather than unattractive. These findings provide further evidence that people make automatic judgments of others based on attractiveness, and that these judgments have downstream behavioral consequences that may affect the quality of our social interactions.
HQ Collisional energy loss in a magnetized medium

description: We study the effect of the magnetic field on the collisional energy loss of heavy quark (HQ) moving in a magnetized thermal partonic medium. This is investigated in the strong field approximation where the lowest Landau level (LLL) becomes relevant. We work in the limit $g\sqrt{eB}\ll T\ll \sqrt{eB}$ which is relevant for heavy ion collisions. Effects of the magnetic field are incorporated through the resummed gluon propagator in which the dominant contribution arises from the quark loop. We also take the approximation $\sqrt{eB}\ll M$, M being the HQ mass, so that the HQ is not Landau quantized. It turns out that there are only two types of scatterings that contribute to the energy loss of HQ; the Coulomb scattering of HQ with light quarks/anti-quarks and the t-channel Compton scattering. It is observed that for a given magnetic field, the dominant contribution to the collisional energy loss arises from Compton scattering process i.e., $Qg\rightarrow Qg$. On the other hand, of the two processes, the Coulomb scattering i.e., $Qq\rightarrow Qq$ is more sensitive to the magnetic field. The net collisional energy loss is seen to increase with increase in the magnetic field. For a reasonable strength of the magnetic field, the field dependent contribution to the collisional energy loss is of the same order as to the case without magnetic field which can be important for the jet quenching phenomena in the heavy ion collision experiments.
