title: The New Deal in Art: The Fine Arts Project and the Evolution of Abstract Expressionism
Creators: name: Stoops, Sarah Coon
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: The formation of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) as part of Roosevelt's New Deal, in conjunction with the Depression and World War II, can be credited with changing the face of international art of the twentieth century. The majority of the artists who were later to be known as Abstract Expressionists participated in the Fine Arts Project (FAP) branch of the WPA in New York throughout the 1930s. This government support of the artists gave them a chance to commit to painting as a career, and their painting styles evolved drastically during this time. Through this support, the connections that were made among the artists through various organizations, and the unity created through adversity, a community of artists was created that had not existed on such a large scale in American history.

To trace the origins of the Abstract Expressionist movement, the history of abstraction in America and its reception must be recognized. Public opinions based on the International Exhibition of Modem Art in 1913 and on movements in Europe throughout the 1920s impacted the critical reception of such a radical movement, and were the basis for much of the governmental ire that was roused against state-supported abstraction. The New Deal and its programs engendered much controversy, but none as much as they FAP. The Congressional reaction against abstraction and the paranoia about Communist infiltration led to the investigation of many of the artists, a surveillance and suspicion that followed many of them through the end of their lives.

The Abstract Expressionist movement was a turning point in American art, and though it did not impact publicly until the mid-1940s and 1950s, its roots in the Depression and the government supported programs of the era should not be overlooked. This critical gestation period and the community that was created provided an impetus that had been lacking in previous years and created an impact in the international art world that still resounds greatly today.

description: Ring structures are observed by (sub-)millimeter dust continuum emission in various circumstellar disks from early stages of Class 0 and I to late stage of Class II young stellar objects (YSOs). In this paper, we study one of the possible scenarios of such ring formation in early stage, which is coagulation of dust aggregates. The dust grains grow in an inside-out manner because the growth timescale is roughly proportional to the orbital period. The boundary of the dust evolution can be regarded as the growth front, where the growth time is comparable to the disk age. With radiative transfer calculations based on the dust coagulation model, we find that the growth front can be observed as a ring structure because dust surface density is sharply changed at this position. Furthermore, we confirm that the observed ring positions in the YSOs with an age of $\lesssim1$ Myr are consistent with the growth front. The growth front could be important to create the ring structure in particular for early stage of the disk evolution such as Class 0 and I sources.

Phase Diagram of N=4 Super-Yang-Mills Theory with R-Symmetry Chemical Potentials

description: The phase diagram of large Nc, weakly-coupled N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a three-sphere with non-zero chemical potentials is examined. In the zero coupling limit, a transition line in the mu-T plane is found, separating a "confined" phase in which the Polyakov loop has vanishing expectation value from a "deconfined" phase in which this order parameter is non-zero. For non-zero but weak coupling, perturbative methods may be used to construct a dimensionally reduced effective theory valid for sufficiently high temperature. If the maximal chemical potential exceeds a critical value, then the free energy becomes unbounded below and no genuine equilibrium state exists. However, the deconfined plasma phase remains metastable, with a lifetime which grows exponentially with Nc (not Nc^2). This metastable phase persists with increasing chemical potential until a phase boundary, analogous to a spinodal decomposition line, is reached. Beyond this point, no long-lived locally stable quasi-equilibrium state exists. The resulting picture for the phase diagram of the weakly coupled theory is compared with results believed to hold in the strongly coupled limit of the theory, based on the AdS/CFT correspondence and the study of charged black hole thermodynamics. The confinement/deconfinement phase transition at weak coupling is in qualitative agreement with the Hawking-Page phase transition in the gravity dual of the strongly coupled theory. The black hole thermodynamic instability line may be the counterpart of the spinodal decomposition phase boundary found at weak coupling, but no black hole tunneling instability, analogous to the instability of the weakly coupled plasma phase is currently known.

description: Solar energetic particles such as electrons can be accelerated to mildly-relativistic velocities in the solar corona. These electrons travel through the turbulent corona generating radio waves, which are then severely affected by scattering. The physical interpretation of the discrepancies between the actual and observed radio sources is still subject to debate. Here, we use radio emission observed by an unprecedented total of five spacecraft, to track the path of radio sources from the low corona to the inner heliosphere (15-75 R$_{\odot}$) generated during a solar event on 4 December 2021. In this study we use the Bayesian multilateration technique known as BELLA to track the apparent path of radio sources observed by Parker Solar Probe, STEREO A, Wind, Solar Orbiter and Mars Express. To validate the accuracy of the tracked path, we used Nançay Radioheliograph interferometric imaging at 150 MHz, which was found to agree with the estimated footpoints predicted by BELLA. We also further validated our results using ACE in-situ measurements. We found that the apparent radio sources followed the path of a Parker Spiral, with an associated solar wind velocity of approximately 493 km s-1 (consistent with the corresponding speed observed at 1 au at the relevant longitude) and connected to 75$^\circ$ longitude East at the solar surface. Finally, we made quantitative estimates of the scattering of radio waves that were found to be in good agreement with contemporary models of scattering. This work shows conclusive evidence that the disputed cause of the widely observed `higher than expected' electron densities at interplanetary distances is due to radio wave scattering, and provides a more detailed understanding of the propagation of radio waves emitted near the local plasma frequency in turbulent plasmas.

description: The global warming issue has a direct impact on the rise insea levels whereby the trend has reached 0.8-1 cm/yearwithin the last 20 years. This research aims to determine thecoastal community’s perception of the predicted sea levelrise in coastal villages in East Belitung. Spatial analyses, fieldsurveys, and local interviews were performed and applied tothe three Coastal Tourism Villages in East Belitung Regency:Bukulimau, Baru, and Lalang. The research results show that,generally, coastal communities and small islands in EastBelitung Regency are aware of the impact of rising sea levels.Of particular concern, based on the simulation results, anincrease in sea level of about 100 cm will occur in 2090,meaning that the Baru Village is vulnerable with the expectedflood area of about 85.8%, followed by Bukulimau Island with83%, and Lalang Village with a vulnerable submerged area ofapproximately 50.8%. Therefore, advance mitigation anddisaster preparedness are necessary to minimize the furtherimpacts of sea level rise in East Belitung.

description: When the reduced twisted $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r(\mathcal{G}, c)$ of a non-principal groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ admits a Cartan subalgebra, Renault's work on Cartan subalgebras implies the existence of another groupoid description of $C^*_r(\mathcal{G}, c)$. In an earlier paper, joint with Reznikoff and Wright, we identified situations where such a Cartan subalgebra arises from a subgroupoid $\mathcal{S}$ of $\mathcal{G}$. In this paper, we study the relationship between the original groupoids $\mathcal{S}, \mathcal{G}$ and the Weyl groupoid and twist associated to the Cartan pair. We first identify the spectrum $\mathfrak{B}$ of the Cartan subalgebra $C^*_r(\mathcal{S}, c)$. We then show that the quotient groupoid $\mathcal{G}/\mathcal{S}$ acts on $\mathfrak{B}$, and that the corresponding action groupoid is exactly the Weyl groupoid of the Cartan pair. Lastly we show that, if the quotient map $\mathcal{G}\to\mathcal{G}/\mathcal{S}$ admits a continuous section, then the Weyl twist is also given by an explicit continuous $2$-cocycle on $\mathcal{G}/\mathcal{S} \ltimes \mathfrak{B}$.

description: Empirically correlated density matrices of N-electron systems are investigated. Exact closed-form expressions are derived for the one- and two-electron reduced density matrices from a general pairwise correlated wave function. Approximate expressions are proposed which reflect dispersive interactions between closed-shell centro-symmetric subsystems. Said expressions clearly illustrate the consequences of second-order correlation effects on the reduced density matrices. Application is made to a simple example: the (He)2 system. Reduced density matrices are explicitly calculated, correct to second order in correlation, and compared with approximations of independent electrons and independent electron pairs. The models proposed allow for variational calculations of interaction energies and equilibrium distance as well as a clear interpretation of dispersive effects on electron distributions. Both exchange and second order correlation effects are shown to play a critical role on the quality of the results.

description: This technical brief draws on a Research Agenda working paper for education in conflict and crisis in South Sudan. Through a comprehensive ‘country scan’ process guided by the ERICC programme – involving an evidence review, mapping exercises, key informant interviews and key stakeholder meetings – evidence gaps in education within the conflict-affected and protracted crisis context of South Sudan have been identified. From this systematic approach, we arrived at five priority research areas: i) out-of-school children, with a focus on pastoralist communities; ii) determinants of academic outcomes, social-emotional learning, and mental health and psychosocial support; iii) evaluation of policy formulation and implementation over time; iv) assessment of system preparedness and adaptation to shocks; and v) examination of processes and challenges in teacher training.
An approach to the management of groundwater pollution
Creators: name: Walker, Daniel Arthur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis considers the management of groundwater pollution as a societal and technical problem. It consists of four elements: theoretical foundation, conceptual model, management strategies, and compound model. The theoretical foundation recognizes two distinct approaches to management: the hard and soft paradigms. The hard paradigm deals with hard problems, characterized by well-defined boundaries, goals, and alternatives; quantifiable uncertainty; and a unilateral decision-maker. A hard problem can be addressed with algorithmic logic and linear procedure. The hard paradigm employs condensed conceptual models, and relies on transform models as predictive tools. (A conceptual model synthesizes observations; a transform model maps an input to an output.) The soft paradigm deals with soft problems, characterized by ambiguous boundaries, goals, and alternatives; nonquantifiable uncertainty; and multiple decision-makers. A soft problem requires argumentation and iterative procedure. The soft paradigm relies on detailed conceptual models, and employs transform models as heuristic tools. The two paradigms can be reconciled through the concept of soft/hard complementarity which views a problem as a soft problem in the overall sense, with embedded hard sub-problems. The conceptual model contains two major systems: the pollution system, consisting of groundwater flow and pollutant transport subsystems; and the management system, consisting of technical and decision subsystems. The emphasis is on the decision subsystem, which is described in terms of rules of governance; multiple issues; multiple stakeholders; and various decision processes. The management strategies include both decision and technical strategies. The decision strategies consist of three subsets: strategies for iterative decision-making; strategies for integration of the decision system; and strategies for emphasizing negotiation. The technical strategies deal with iterative technique; integration of the technical system; and design for mitigation. The compound model is called SAM (Simulated Aquifer Management). It consists of a set of transform models, joined by linkages which are either algorithmic or which require the modeler's subjective judgement. The technical system is represented by models of flow, transport, optimization of pumping rates, and costing of technical options. The decision system is represented a game theory model and a role-playing exercise. SAM is used as a heuristic device, and as illustration of both the management strategies and soft/hard complementarity.

It is observed the diffractive theory according to the color dipole approach at small-$x$ is a convenient framework that reveals the color transparency and the saturation phenomena. Also we calculate the contribution of heavy quark productions in the diffractive cross section for high energy that is determined by the small size dipole configuration. The ratio of the diffractive cross section to the total cross section in the electron-proton collision is the other important quantity that is computed in this work.

description: Based on an evidence review, the Centre for Lebanese Studies formulated a research agenda for education in the context of conflict and protracted crises in Lebanon. The research agenda is summarised in this working paper as part of the Education Research in Conflict and Protracted Crisis (ERICC) programme. Based on a review of existing evidence and knowledge as well as consultations with stakeholders in the education sector, the paper focuses on micro and macro levels of educational processes by engaging with pre-existing conditions, drivers of learning and development, and outcomes. The paper first introduces the context of education in conflict and protracted crises in Lebanon and describes the process of formulating a general research agenda with a particular emphasis on identification of research gaps and the participatory approach used for national-level consultations. The paper then introduces and describes the eight themes of the research agenda: Governance and financial management; Teachers; Crisis monitoring; Private Sector; Non-formal education; Vocational education; Knowledge production; Crisis in Southern Lebanon. The research projects will broadly focus on Governance, Teachers, and Crisis Monitoring.

description: The solubilizing power of various nonionic and zwitterionic detergents as membrane protein solubilizers for two-dimensional electrophoresis was investigated. Human red blood cell ghosts and Arabidopsis thaliana leaf membrane proteins were used as model systems. Efficient detergents could be found in each class, i.e. with oligooxyethylene, sugar or sulfobetaine polar heads. Among the commercially available nonionic detergents, dodecyl maltoside and decaethylene glycol mono hexadecyl ether proved most efficient. They complement the more classical sulfobetaine detergents to widen the scope of useful detergents for the solubilization of membrane proteins in proteomics.

GRB 190829A (z = 0.0785), detected by Fermi and Swift with two emission episodes separated by a quiescent gap of ~40 s, was also observed by the H.E.S.S. telescopes at Very-High Energy (VHE). We present the 10.4m GTC observations of the afterglow of GRB 190829A and underlying supernova and compare it against a similar GRB 180728A and discuss the implications on underlying physical mechanisms producing these two GRBs. Methods. We present multi-band photometric data along with spectroscopic follow-up observations taken with the 10.4m GTC telescope. Together with the data from the prompt emission, the 10.4m GTC data are used to understand the emission mechanisms and possible progenitor. Results. A detailed analysis of multi-band data of the afterglow demands cooling frequency to pass between the optical and X-ray bands at early epochs and dominant with underlying SN 2019oyw later on. Conclusions. Prompt emission temporal properties of GRB 190829A and GRB 180728A are similar, however the two pulses seem different in the spectral domain. We found that the supernova (SN) 2019oyw associated with GRB 190829A, powered by Ni decay, is of Type Ic-BL and that the spectroscopic/photometric properties of this SN is consistent with those observed for SN 1998bw but evolved comparatively early.

description: It is essential for safety-critical applications of deep neural networks to determine when new inputs are significantly different from the training distribution. In this paper, we explore this out-of-distribution (OOD) detection problem for image classification using clusters of semantically similar embeddings of the training data and exploit the differences in distance relationships to these clusters between in- and out-of-distribution data. We study the structure and separation of clusters in the embedding space and find that supervised contrastive learning leads to well-separated clusters while its self-supervised counterpart fails to do so. In our extensive analysis of different training methods, clustering strategies, distance metrics, and thresholding approaches, we observe that there is no clear winner. The optimal approach depends on the model architecture and selected datasets for in- and out-of-distribution. While we could reproduce the outstanding results for contrastive training on CIFAR-10 as in-distribution data, we find standard cross-entropy paired with cosine similarity outperforms all contrastive training methods when training on CIFAR-100 instead. Cross-entropy provides competitive results as compared to expensive contrastive training methods.

description: This work proposes the application of independent component analysis to the problem of ranking different alternatives by considering criteria that are not necessarily statistically independent. In this case, the observed data (the criteria values for all alternatives) can be modeled as mixtures of latent variables. Therefore, in the proposed approach, we perform ranking by means of the TOPSIS approach and based on the independent components extracted from the collected decision data. Numerical experiments attest the usefulness of the proposed approach, as they show that working with latent variables leads to better results compared to already existing methods

description: The scientific community has entered an era of big data. However, with big data comes big responsibilities, and best practices for how data are contributed to databases have not kept pace with the collection, aggregation, and analysis of big data. Here, we rigorously assess the quantity of data for specific leaf area (SLA) available within the largest and most frequently used global plant trait database, the TRY Plant Trait Database, exploring how much of the data were applicable (i.e., original, representative, logical, and comparable) and traceable (i.e., published, cited, and consistent). Over three-quarters of the SLA data in TRY either lacked applicability or traceability, leaving only 22.9% of the original data usable compared to the 64.9% typically deemed usable by standard data cleaning protocols. The remaining usable data differed markedly from the original for many species, which led to altered interpretation of ecological analyses. Though the data we consider here make up only 4.5% of SLA data within TRY, similar issues of applicability and traceability likely apply to SLA data for other species as well as other commonly measured, uploaded, and downloaded plant traits. We end with suggested steps forward for global ecological databases, including suggestions for both uploaders to and curators of databases with the hope that, through addressing the issues raised here, we can increase data quality and integrity within the ecological community.
description: SLA data was downlaoded from TRY (traits 3115, 3116, and 3117) for all conifer (Araucariaceae, Cupressaceae, Pinaceae, Podocarpaceae, Sciadopityaceae, and Taxaceae), Plantago, Poa, and Quercus species. The data has not been processed in any way, but additional columns have been added to the datset that provide the viewer with information about where each data point came from, how it was cited, how it was measured, whether it was uploaded correctly, whether it had already been uploaded to TRY, and whether it was uploaded by the individual who collected the data.

description: We demonstrate a method to make mixtures of ultracold atoms that does not make use of a two-species magneto-optical trap. We prepare two clouds of 87Rb atoms in distinct magnetic quadrupole traps and mix the two clouds by merging the traps. For correctly chosen parameters the mixing can be done essentially without loss of atoms and with only minor heating. The basic features of the process can be accounted for by a classical simulation of particle trajectories. Such calculations indicate that mixing of different mass species is also feasible, opening the way for using the method as a starting point for making quantum gas mixtures.

description: Health promoting palliative care views dying and death as a social phenomenon, with communities playing an integral role. As providers of palliative care, hospices are facing significant shifts in demography and illness and need to find innovative and sustainable ways to respond. Rehabilitation focuses on promoting optimal function, well-being and quality of life, but in the context of palliative care is misunderstood and under-utilised. This research assessed whether rehabilitative palliative care offers an opportunity to integrate a health promoting approach in a UK hospice in-patient setting. Taking a participatory worldview perspective, three inquiries were undertaken. Firstly, using participatory action research, a co-operative inquiry group was established to plan and implement ways to integrate this approach. The second inquiry used thematic analysis to examine the facilitators and barriers, and thirdly a literature review assessed whether these factors were present in other studies. Following these three inquiries, the alignment and dissonance between health promoting and rehabilitative palliative care were examined. Eight co-operative inquiry group members met 11 times between June 2015 and June 2016. Through working collaboratively, the group created a communicative space and was able to initiate change, as evidenced by a post intervention review. This was done by gaining a common understanding and developing a mutual interest in the topic, developing workshops to inform the broader multidisciplinary team and exploiting opportunities to demonstrate rehabilitative palliative care in practice. There were common facilitators and barriers in the findings from this study and the literature, many of them evident in change initiatives generally. However, some were unique including a potential conflict between a model of care focused on caring (palliative), and one based on enabling (rehabilitation). Similarities in the principles underpinning health promoting and rehabilitative palliative care were identified. The conclusions illustrate that despite its close associations with community initiatives, a health promoting approach to palliative care can be adopted in an in-patient setting.

Therefore, I analyze the frame that the children lived and grown, while I examine the possibilities and the place that each child had, depending on his/ her sex and order of birth. This system of familiar relations concerns of the heritage and the separation of the belongings of the family, but also the decisions that are made from the nuclear or the greater family. Of course, there is a reference about the way of birth, the naming, the circumcision, and the order of the first-born children.

description: When interacting spins in condensed matter order ferromagnetically, their ground state wave function is topologically trivial. Nonetheless, in two dimensions, the ferromagnetic state can support spin excitations with nontrivial topology, an exotic state known as topological magnon insulator (TMI). Here, we theoretically unveil and numerically confirm a novel ferromagnetic state in three dimensions dubbed second-order TMI, whose hallmarks are excitations at its hinges, where facets intersect. Since ferromagnetism naturally comes with broken time-reversal symmetry, the hinge magnons are chiral, rendering backscattering impossible. Hence, they trace out a three-dimensional path about the sample unimpeded by defects and are topologically protected by the spectral gap. They are remarkably robust against disorder and simultaneously highly tunable by atomic-level engineering of the sample termination. Our findings empower magnonics with the tools of higher-order topology, a promising route to combine low-energy information transfer free of Joule heating with three-dimensional vertical integration.

Μέχρι τότε, οι δύσκολες συνθήκες διαβίωσης είχαν μια αρχιτεκτονική που χαρακτηρίζεται από λιτότητα και κάλυψη των πραγματικών αναγκών. Αυτή η λαϊκή ανώνυμη αρχιτεκτονική μέσω και του τέταρτου διεθνούς συνεδρίου μοντέρνας αρχιτεκτονικής αποτέλεσε πηγή έμπνευσης για αρχιτέκτονες  της εποχής.
 Μετέπειτα, οι σεισμικές διεγέρσεις του 1956 αποτέλεσαν σταθμό στην ιστορία του νησιού και συνέπεσαν με μία περίοδο με ραγδαίες αλλαγές σε πολλούς τομείς. Το πρόγραμμα της ανοικοδόμησης με επικεφαλής τον Κωνσταντίνο Δεκαβάλλα εισάγει μια νέα θεώρηση της αρχιτεκτονικής με χρήση των τότε νέων υλικών. Ακόμη και σήμερα ο σχεδιασμός των κτιρίων αυτών αποτελεί μια πρότυπη προσέγγιση στην αρχιτεκτονική. Η λιτότητα και η φειδώ έρχονται σε πλήρη αντίθεση με την δόμηση που επικρατεί σήμερα. Συνεπώς, πώς κτίζουμε σε ένα νησί που δέχεται συνεχώς πιέσεις αστικοποίησης κυρίως λόγω του τουρισμού;
Κρίνεται αναγκαία η προστασία της υπαίθρου ώστε να επέλθει ισορροπία στο δίπολο οικισμών-υπαίθρου. Για την σύγχρονη αρχιτεκτονική πρακτική εντός των οικισμών επισημαίνεται η σημαντικότητα που φέρει η δομή του ορθογώνιου πρίσματος με θολωτή στέγαση, η οποία έχει αρχετυπικές εκβολές και η οποία έχει αναγνωστεί από μια μεγάλη μερίδα αρχιτεκτόνων μονοσήμαντα. Η θολωτή στέγαση όπως και η ύπαιθρος είναι στοιχείο του λεγόμενου πνεύματος του τόπου και εκ των προτέρων δεν πρέπει να καταδικάζεται (ως μίμηση της λαϊκής αρχιτεκτονικής). Αυτό συνάμα δεν σημαίνει ότι επειδή χρησιμοποιήθηκε και από μοντέρνους αρχιτέκτονες ως μεσογειακή μορφή είναι πάντα θεμιτή η μορφή στο σχεδιασμό. Σημασία έχει ο λόγος/ η αιτία που εμφανίζεται στην σύγχρονη αρχιτεκτονική πρακτική.

description: We show that annihilating a pair of Dirac fermions implies a topological transition from the critical semi-metallic phase to an Obstructed Atomic Limit (OAL) insulator phase instead of a trivial insulator. This is shown to happen because of branch-cuts in the phase of the wave functions, leading to non trivial Zak phase along certain directions. To this end, we study their Z$_2$ invariant and also study the phase transition using Entanglement Entropy. We use low energy Hamiltonians and numerical result from model systems to show this effect. These transitions are observed in realistic materials including strained graphene and buckled honeycomb group-V (Sb/As).

description: We show that standard nonlocal boxes, also known as Popescu-Rohrlich machines, are not sufficient to simulate any nonlocal correlations that do not allow signalling. This was known in the multipartite scenario, but we extend the result to the bipartite case. We then generalize this result further by showing that no finite set containing any finite-output-alphabet nonlocal boxes can be a universal set for nonlocality.

Tidal residual circulation over an axisymmetric seamount : seamount geometry effects
Creators: name: Shore, Jennifer A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A numerical tidal model is used to investigate the effect of seamount geometry on tidally rectified residual flow and the resultant particle behaviour. A weakly nonlinear analytical solution of barotropic oscillatory flow over a tall, axisymmetric, isolated seamount is derived and compared to a numerical tidal model solution. The comparison is formulated for a flat topped seamount with parabolic sides and with a standing wave boundary condition that makes the problem analytically tractable and reduces it to a series of ordinary differential equations. Based on the model comparisons, it is concluded that the numerical model gives reasonable solutions for tall topographies. Comparisons to a Gaussian seamount and Kelvin wave forcing illustrate the generality of the results. Residual velocities axe found to be proportional to the aspect ratio of the topography showing that for cases where the deep water depth does not change, wider seamounts will tend to have weaker residuals. Numerical experiments are conducted to investigate the effect of changes in seamount base width, slope and height on the tidal residual field and particle behaviour. Consistent with the analytic solution, results show that as the seamount widens (with its percentage depth remaining unchanged) the magnitude of the maximum residual velocity decreases. Unlike previous results of other researchers, it was found that an increase in slope does not necessarily generate a strengthening of the maximum residual. Results from the particle tracking studies show, in part, that trapping is more sensitive to changes in distances to the shelfbreak than to changes in the base width. Furthermore, retention times are enhanced, more by increases in the flank slope than by increases in base width, or seamount height.

description: Lebanon is characterised by deepening inequalities and multidimensional crises. Since 2019, the Port of Beirut explosion, which together have led to soaring poverty levels among its Lebanese, Palestinian and Syrian population. Lebanon’s education system was already struggling to provide adequate services, and within this context the sector has fallen into an even deeper crisis.The Centre for Lebanese Studies has formulated a research agenda for education in the context of conflict and protracted crises in Lebanon. This brief draws on a working paper (Brun et al. 2024) that reviews existing evidence and knowledge on the education sector in Lebanon, plus consultations with key stakeholders. It summarises the conditions in the education system, the methodology used to formulate the research agenda, and eight priority themes that the Education Research in Conflict and Protracted Crisis (ERICC) team will focus on in the Lebanese context. These themes are:1. Governance and financial management2. Teachers3. Crisis monitoring4. The private sector5. Non-formal education6. Vocational education7. Knowledge production8. The ongoing crisis in southern Lebanon.
Dicke superradiance from a plasmonic nanocomposite slab

description: The Dicke superradiance from an optically thin nanocomposite slab represented by metal nanoparticles dispersed in a dielectric matrix is predicted and its theory is developed from first principles. It is shown that the superradiance signal evolution is determined by the eigenvalues of the field susceptibility tensor for the slab. The excitation of the system by a pumping pulse in different polarizations as well as in the attenuated total reflection configuration is considered. It is demonstrated that the relaxation rates are enhanced when surface plasmon polaritons are excited at the interface between the substrate and superstrate. These findings can pave a way to the extension of the optical techniques based on the Dicke superradiance to the femtosecond time domain.

description: In this report we discuss the capabilities and limitations of the STAR detector to search for signatures of the QCD critical point in a low energy scan at RHIC. We find that a RHIC low energy scan will cover a broad region of interest in the nuclear matter phase diagram and that the STAR detector -- a detector designed to measure the quantities that will be of interest in this search -- will provide new observables and improve on previous measurements in this energy range.

description: Cooling white dwarfs (WDs) can yield accurate ages when theoretical cooling models fully account for the physics of the dense plasma of WD interiors. We use MESA to investigate cooling models for a set of massive and ultra-massive WDs (0.9-1.3 $M_\odot$) for which previous models fail to match kinematic age indicators based on Gaia DR2. We find that the WDs in this population can be explained as C/O cores experiencing unexpectedly rapid $^{22}$Ne sedimentation in the strongly liquid interior just prior to crystallization. We propose that this rapid sedimentation is due to the formation of solid clusters of $^{22}$Ne in the liquid C/O background plasma. We show that these heavier solid clusters sink faster than individual $^{22}$Ne ions and enhance the sedimentation heating rate enough to dramatically slow WD cooling. MESA models including our prescription for cluster formation and sedimentation experience cooling delays of $\approx$4 Gyr on the WD Q branch, alleviating tension between cooling ages and kinematic ages. This same model then predicts cooling delays coinciding with crystallization of 6 Gyr or more in lower mass WDs (0.6-0.8 $M_\odot$). Such delays are compatible with, and perhaps required by, observations of WD populations in the local 100 pc WD sample and the open cluster NGC 6791. These results motivate new investigations of the physics of strongly coupled C/O/Ne plasma mixtures in the strongly liquid state near crystallization and tests through comparisons with observed WD cooling.
