description: Recognising bodies as objects enables the manipulation, control and essentially the governmentality thereof. Contextualizing bodies as “objects over which we labour” through individual and collective body practices, the ways in which bodies are produced, cultivated and disciplined essentially become ritualistic and often seemingly natural. Feeding, clothing, washing our bodies and so forth, are practices that do not cause a flinch, a look of disgust, or a thought of pity. However, society does not easily accept or understand some body practices. Throughout China’s dynastic history, various forms of body practices were deeply rooted in cultural rituals and symbolisms. For example, the practice of foot binding, although it hindered women’s ability to walk, could be a symbol of femininity and social rank. Some male bodies also partook in body practices, specifically castration. Unlike the slow shape-changing process of foot binding, the effect of castration was immediate. With the slash of a knife the male genitals, cut off in part or completely, often leaving the body bare of any genitals, making a eunuch. Created by royal force initially as a palace punishment [宮刑gōngxíng] under the laws created by the Duke of Zhou [周公Zhōugōng], brother of King Wu [武王Wǔwáng] of the Zhou Dynasty [周Zhōu], about 1100 B.C., eunuchs were not regarded as castrated males—still maintaining their identity as males—rather they were classified and defined as eunuchs [宦官huànguān]—by the emperor and, with a trickledown effect, by Chinese society. In essence, castration, while it led to the loss of male body parts, was a productive force in Chinese society. While the obvious servile role of eunuchs is apparent in Chinese history, the eunuch entity also served as a vehicle to address the social world of the West and its anxieties. It played a role in Western imagination and its experience of the East. In this paper, I aim to focus on the early Western understanding of the Chinese eunuch, the making of the Chinese eunuch identity, as well as the activities and social influences of Victorian writers. More specifically, I examine the article “Chinese Eunuchs” written by George Carter Stent in 1877—the earliest literature written by a Westerner in China, for a Western audience, on Chinese eunuchs. I aim to show that by describing eunuchs in China, Stent gave the West a defining lens with which to view eunuchs, while creating a common foundation of rationality to extend order and maximize control over his audience demographics. Essentially, by concurrently criticising the origin and motives for creating eunuchs and using his observations to address anxieties in Victorian England, Stent didactically enhanced the need for strong Christian ethical and moral values.
Comparison of Memory and Sleep Consolidation Theories: A Review of The Literature

description: Abstract

Memory consolidation is a vital process that transforms new information into stable, long-term memories. Here, we discuss and compare 15 distinct theories and models of memory consolidation and its processes from a systems neuroscience perspective, as well as the role of sleep in relation to relevant memory consolidation models. Over decades of research on memory consolidation, hundreds of insightful papers have been produced with unique viewpoints, but not all of them have been analyzed in depth. We aim to summarize and compare these various theories of memory consolidation in an effort to bring disparate viewpoints into comparison. Each theory is provided with an explanation of its history and context, strengths and supporting evidence, weaknesses, limitations, and a general conclusion. All theories are divided into four categories based on their prevalence and amount of evidence, with an additional category devoted to sleep-related theories regardless of their reliability and recognition.

description: Aunque la sociedad ha retomado su vida de forma “normal" tras la pandemia, los niveles de estrés en las escuelas y en especial, en los docentes, han aumentado. Las causas del estrés son numerosas y complejas, entre ellas: el exceso de carga laboral, poca cantidad de descanso, problemas cognitivos de los alumnos y falta de apoyo parental, dificultades de algunos padres de familia en mantener un diálogo adecuado y amable, etc.

El objetivo de este proyecto es observar cómo la musicoterapia puede ayudar a reducir los niveles de estrés en un personal docente, a través de técnicas inspiradas en la improvisación musical, songwriting, el canto, GIM y el movimiento.

Este estudio se llevó a cabo en una institución educativa en la ciudad de Lima, Perú, y consistió en dos partes: una encuesta y un Estudio de Caso Único. El Estudio de Caso Único consistió en testear los efectos de la musicoterapia en una participante que padece de estrés docente en un total de 11 sesiones. Además, se aplicó una encuesta a 18 docentes que se ofrecieron a responder desde su perspectiva, el nivel de importancia de la música en sus vidas, cómo la usan para canalizar situaciones o formas que tienen para afrontar el estrés diario, y sugerencias para mejorar el clima laboral. 

Se conjetura que, mediante elementos de relajación y un espacio seguro donde los docentes puedan expresar sus emociones y frustraciones, estos pueden ser orientados a través de la musicoterapia para reducir las tensiones y mejorar su calidad de vida y trabajo, incrementando su bienestar.

description: Chiral skyrmions are stable particle-like solutions of the Landau-Lifshitz equation for ferromagnets with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction, characterized by a topological number. We study the profile of an axially symmetric skyrmion and give exact formulas for the solution of the corresponding far-field and near-field equations, in the asymptotic limit of small DM parameter (alternatively large anisotropy). The matching of these two fields leads to a formula for the skyrmion radius as a function of the DM parameter. The derived solutions show the different length scales which are present in the skyrmion profiles. The picture is thus created of a chiral skyrmion that is born out of a Belavin-Polyakov solution with an infinitesimally small radius, as the DM parameter is increased from zero. The skyrmion retains the Belavin-Polyakov profile over and well-beyond the core before it assumes an exponential decay; the profile of an axially-symmetric Belavin-Polyakov solution of unit degree plays the role of the universal core profile of chiral skyrmions.

title: A Longitudinal Study Investigating the Bi-directional Relationship of Personality and Substance Use in Adolescent Males and Females

description: Adolescence is a period of development characterised by risk taking typically involving the initiation and escalation of alcohol and drug use. Adolescence is also a critical period of neurobiological change behaviourally manifested as increases in impulsivity. Contemporary models of personality conceptualise impulsivity as a trait with at least two related but distinct factors (reward drive and rash impulsivity). Both are said to play a role in the propensity to engage in substance use and the escalation of alcohol and drug use. This model assumes that personality influences substance use however it is also possible that substance use may influence the development of personality. The current study investigated the cross-sectional and prospective bi-directional relationships between reward drive and rash impulsivity, and alcohol use and substance use problems in males and females. A prospective longitudinal design was used involving 1059 adolescents (males = 526, females = 533) followed up annually for 5 years from Grade 8 to Grade 12. Using , the results of this research provided support for a two-factor model of impulsivity. Further, evidence was found for bi-directional relationships between personality and substance use. As expected, the bi-directional relationship between initial levels of reward drive and rash impulsivity were significantly associated with initial levels of alcohol use and substance use problems. Rash impulsivity at baseline was a significant predictor of growth in alcohol use for both males and females. There was a significant association in the bi-directional relationship between growth in reward drive and rash impulsivity, and growth in alcohol use and substance use problems. The results of a sequential LGM found that escalated substance use problems overtime increased reward drive and rash impulsivity overtime for females only. The results of this study show that reward drive and rash impulsivity both contribute differentially to the escalation of substance use. Further, the converse of this relationship was also found where substance use influenced personality development. These findings highlight several risks for adolescents during critical periods of development and suggest the importance of early detection and interventions for at risk adolescents.

We define a real structure on coisotropic subgroups which determines an involution on the homogeneous space. We give general invariance properties for functionals on the homogeneous space which are sufficient to build a unitary representation starting from the induced one. We present the case of the one-dimensional quantum Galilei group, where we have to use in all enerality our definition of quasi-invariant functional.

description: ARIADNE is a research project for the development of innovative two-phase optical LAr TPC readouts. Optical readout presents several considerable advantages when compared to traditional segmented THGEM (THick Gaseous Electron Multiplier) charge readout technologies, such as ease of scalability, upgrade, installation and maintenance, cost effectiveness and simplicity. This paper presents the first demonstration of 3D particle tracking in a TPC using purely optical readout. By combining an optically sensitive Timepix3 (TPX3) sensor with an image intensifier a single photon sensitive camera has been developed. TPX3, operated in data driven mode, provides both arrival time (ToA) information and charge deposit information (ToT) together with the coordinates of the active pixel when light is received. Since charge produced in a TPC is drifted over time it is possible to perform full 3D reconstruction by combining the (x,y) pixel information with ToA information. ToT information provides a measure of intensity in each pixel and enables calorimetry. Both an Americium-241 alpha source and cosmic rays have been imaged in 100mbar CF4.

description: We consider an extended version of Horn's problem: given two orbits $\mathcal{O}_α$ and $\mathcal{O}_β$ of a linear representation of a compact Lie group, let $A\in \mathcal{O}_α$, $B\in \mathcal{O}_β$ be independent and invariantly distributed random elements of the two orbits. The problem is to describe the probability distribution of the orbit of the sum $A+B$. We study in particular the familiar case of coadjoint orbits, and also the orbits of self-adjoint real, complex and quaternionic matrices under the conjugation actions of $\mathrm{SO}(n)$, $\mathrm{SU}(n)$ and $\mathrm{USp}(n)$ respectively. The probability density can be expressed in terms of a function that we call the volume function. In this paper, (i) we relate this function to the symplectic or Riemannian geometry of the orbits, depending on the case; (ii) we discuss its non-analyticities and possible vanishing; (iii) in the coadjoint case, we study its relation to tensor product multiplicities (generalized Littlewood--Richardson coefficients) and show that it computes the volume of a family of convex polytopes introduced by Berenstein and Zelevinsky. These considerations are illustrated by a detailed study of the volume function for the coadjoint orbits of $B_2=\mathfrak{so}(5)$.

description: The graded-fermion algebra and quasi-spin formalism are introduced and applied to obtain the $gl(m|n)\downarrow osp(m|n)$ branching rules for the "two-column" tensor irreducible representations of gl(m|n), for the case $m\leq n (n > 2)$. In the case m < n, all such irreducible representations of gl(m|n) are shown to be completely reducible as representations of osp(m|n). This is also shown to be true for the case m=n except for the "spin-singlet" representations which contain an indecomposable representation of osp(m|n) with composition length 3. These branching rules are given in fully explicit form.

Las estrategias comunicativas empleadas por alumnos principiantes que adoptan el rol de mediador en actividades de mediación oral
Creators: name: Homs Vila, Laura
Publisher: name: Freie Universität Berlin

description: Mediation, a barely known language-learning field in Spanish speaking countries, has become a main focus during the last decade in German school education. This document not only contains the most significant contributions so far on both mediation itself and mediation strategies, but also provides new insight on the topic through a field study on the use of strategies in oral mediation. The methodology consists of the filming and recording of German university students taking an A2-level course in Spanish during three mediation sessions and the following retrospective interview with the subjects on the mediator role. This mediation sessions contained an oral activity, “German-Spanish”, which entailed reading a text in German and transmitting the necessary information to the interlocutor in Spanish. All students being German, the activity constituted a mediation simulation. The most remarkable result of the field study is the identification of individual tendencies to often use the same strategies. These tendencies do not necessarily coincide between subjects, which reinforces the concepts of individualisation and different intelligence types, as well as different kinds of learning. The fact that there wasn’t a significant increase or change in the use of strategies can also be understood as highlighting the need for explicit instruction on strategies. That being at least partially needed at university level —at which learners are significantly more autonomous— it becomes even more necessary at school level. Key words: mediation, strategies, university students, beginners, simulation

description: The ALMA Spectroscopic Survey in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (ASPECS) provides new constraints for galaxy formation models on the molecular gas properties of galaxies. We compare results from ASPECS to predictions from two cosmological galaxy formation models: the IllustrisTNG hydrodynamical simulations and the Santa Cruz semi-analytic model (SC SAM). We explore several recipes to model the H$_2$ content of galaxies, finding them to be consistent with one another, and take into account the sensitivity limits and survey area of ASPECS. For a canonical CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor of $α_{\rm CO} = 3.6\,\rm{M}_\odot/(\rm{K}\,\rm{km/s}\,\rm{pc}^{2})$ the results of our work include: (1) the H$_2$ mass of $z>1$ galaxies predicted by the models as a function of their stellar mass is a factor of 2-3 lower than observed; (2) the models do not reproduce the number of H$_2$-rich ($M_{\rm H2} > 3\times 10^{10}\,\rm{M}_\odot$) galaxies observed by ASPECS; (3) the H$_2$ cosmic density evolution predicted by IllustrisTNG (the SC SAM) is in tension (only just agrees) with the observed cosmic density, even after accounting for the ASPECS selection function and field-to-field variance effects. The tension between models and observations at $z>1$ can be alleviated by adopting a CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor in the range $α_{\rm CO} = 2.0 - 0.8\,\rm{M}_\odot/(\rm{K}\,\rm{km/s}\,\rm{pc}^{2})$. Additional work on constraining the CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor and CO excitation conditions of galaxies through observations and theory will be necessary to more robustly test the success of galaxy formation models.

Differences in maternal behaviors affecting child health status in probably depressed and non-depressed mothers in rural Uganda

Postpartum depression

description: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common perinatal mental health disorder (CPMD) extensively linked to poor child health outcomes, including increased risk of illness, stunting and underweight. Rates of PPD and child malnutrition are consistently elevated in Sub-Saharan Africa compared to other regions of the world. This includes Northern Uganda, a region devastated by armed conflict and enduring poverty. While the link between PPD and adverse child health outcomes is firmly established, the mechanisms underlying this association remain poorly understood.The current study addresses this gap in the literature through investigating in a sample of Ugandan mothers of children 0 to 23 months how maternal behaviors promoting child health differ in the presence or absence of probable depression. This study also explores how perceived social support and women’s empowerment may moderate the relationship between PPD and mothers’ engagement in these health-promoting behaviors. The study is based on cross-sectional, baseline data collected for a project sponsored by Food for the Hungry Uganda, an international relief and development organization, and in partnership with the Global Mental Health Lab at Teachers College, Columbia University and World Vision International. The study’s sample included 1028 probably depressed and 284 nondepressed Ugandan mothers with at least one child under 24 months of age at the time of interviewing. The study’s findings yielded evidence to support the reliability and validity of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support for this sample. While as expected, probable depression was positively associated with child underweight, recent child illness, delayed care seeking for sick children and unsafe disposal of child feces, positive associations were also found between depression and important health-promoting behaviors, for which there is little evidence in the extant literature, including provision of the same amount or more food to a sick child, knowledge of danger signs of childhood illness, and some WASH behaviors. Perceived social support and women’s empowerment indicators were also found to moderate the association between probable depression and some IMCI, IYCF and WASH behaviors. Study limitations, clinical implications and recommendations for further research are discussed.

description: A single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is used to sense individual, as well as small ensembles of, electron spins placed outside the diamond lattice. Applying double electron–electron resonance techniques, we were able to observe Rabi nutations of these external spins as well as the coupling strength between the external spins and the NV sensor, via modulations and accelerated decay of the NV spin echo. Echo modulation frequencies as large as 600 kHz have been observed, being equivalent to a few nanometers distance between the NV and an unpaired electron spin. Upon surface modification, the coupling disappears, suggesting the spins to be localized at surface defects. The present study is important for understanding the properties of diamond surface spins so that their effects on NV sensors can eventually be mitigated. This would enable potential applications such as the imaging and tracking of single atoms and molecules in living cells or the use of NVs on scanning probe tips to entangle remote spins for scalable room temperature quantum computers.

description: The ALMA SPECtroscopic Survey in the {\it Hubble} Ultra Deep Field is an ALMA large program that obtained a frequency scan in the 3\,mm band to detect emission lines from the molecular gas in distant galaxies. We here present our search strategy for emission lines and continuum sources in the HUDF. We compare several line search algorithms used in the literature, and critically account for the line-widths of the emission line candidates when assessing significance. We identify sixteen emission lines at high fidelity in our search. Comparing these sources to multi-wavelength data we find that all sources have optical/infrared counterparts. Our search also recovers candidates that have lower significance that can be used statistically to derive, e.g. the CO luminosity function. We apply the same detection algorithm to obtain a sample of six 3 mm continuum sources. All of these are also detected in the 1.2 mm continuum with optical/near-infrared counterparts. We use the continuum sources to compute 3 mm number counts in the sub-mJy regime, and find them to be higher by an order of magnitude than expected for synchrotron-dominated sources. However, the number counts are consistent with those derived at shorter wavelengths (0.85--1.3\,mm) once extrapolating to 3\,mm with a dust emissivity index of $β=1.5$, dust temperature of 35\,K and an average redshift of $z=2.5$. These results represent the best constraints to date on the faint end of the 3 mm number counts.

description: The rates at which energy and particle densities move to equalize arbitrarily large temperature and chemical potential differences in an isolated quantum system have an emergent thermodynamical description whenever the energy or particle current commutes with the Hamiltonian. Concrete examples include the energy current in the 1D spinless fermion model with nearest-neighbor interactions (XXZ spin chain), the energy current in Lorentz-invariant theories or the particle current in interacting Bose gases in arbitrary dimension. Even far from equilibrium, these rates are controlled by state functions, which we call “expansion potentials,” expressed as integrals of equilibrium Drude weights. This relation between nonequilibrium quantities and linear response implies nonequilibrium Maxwell relations for the Drude weights. We verify our results via density-matrix renormalization group calculations for the XXZ chain.
Differential Effects of Family Context on Noncognitive Ability and School Performance during Adolescence

description: Recent research suggests that the female advantage in educational attainment is driven in part by the differential effect of family background characteristics on the noncognitive skills of males relative to females.  Building on this research, this study provides new evidence that links family characteristics and gender differences in noncognitive ability and school performance. Data are drawn from the NLSY79 Child and Young Adult Surveys. Multilevel modeling is used to examine how family context relates to gender differences in adolescent externalizing behavior, and how family context relates to gender differences in externalizing behavior and high school grades. Results indicate a strong relationship between externalizing behavior and grades that is not explained by the female advantage in grades. Results also indicate that males are differentially affected by family context and suggest that the pathways through which family structure, noncognitive ability, and school performance operate are different for boys relative to girls. A primary conclusion is that boys’ externalizing behavior is more dependent upon family background characteristics. Findings suggest the need to address both the school and family environments by formulating policies that promote the development of noncognitive skills in school as well as those that remedy family disadvantage in the home.

description: Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are at elevated risk for nutrition-related morbidities both during and after therapy. The degree to which dietary intake fluctuates during cancer therapy and possibly contributes to the development of nutrition-related morbidities is unknown. This study presents the results of the first prospective study describing changes in dietary intake in 667 children undergoing treatment for ALL. Dietary intake was evaluated with a food frequency questionnaire at three timepoints reflecting different intensities of cancer therapy: diagnosis (Time 1-no therapy), induction (Time 2- high-dose therapy), and continuation (Time 3- low-dose therapy). Dietary intake was compared to the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) and normative data. Contrary to expectations, total caloric intake in the majority of patients exceeded the DRIs with a smaller percentage of patients below the DRI for calories. The majority of patients were within the DRI for all other macronutrients with an increase in intake of fat at Time 2. Despite adequate caloric intake, the majority of patients had low dietary intakes of calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin E while excess dietary intakes were observed for zinc and niacin. For folate, most patients were either below or above the DRI. In general, dietary intakes were reflective of normative data suggesting intakes are not significantly altered during treatment for ALL.

description: One of the key goals of untargeted tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) metabolomics is discovering biologically relevant molecules. Currently there is still a lot of discovery potential: using spectral library searching, on average only ~5% of the data can be annotated. This means that the vast majority of data that are collected do not yield any biological insights. I will present a strategy to identify molecules that are structurally related to previously known reference molecules using repository-scale molecular networking. Based on spectral similarity, information can be propagated to neighboring MS/MS spectra in a molecular network to increase the spectrum annotation rate. We have propagated annotations from molecular networks associated with 1.2 billion MS/MS spectra from 1,335 public untargeted metabolomics datasets in various metabolomics data repositories, including GNPS/MassIVE, Metabolights, and MetabolomicsWorkbench, to create the GNPS nearest neighbor suspect spectral library. It consists of 87,916 novel reference spectra corresponding to modified molecules that are structurally related to known reference molecules. Repository-scale molecular networking to create the suspect library revealed 1,350 common modification mass differences, which provide chemical insights into the processes that molecules undergo in vivo and during mass spectrometry analysis. Using the suspect library for spectral library searching boosts the spectrum annotation rate by four-fold on average, considerably increasing the interpretation rate of untargeted metabolomics beyond the state of the art. To demonstrate the performance of the suspect library, suspect annotations enabled the discovery of 969 acylcarnitines, including significant acylcarnitine signatures for Alzheimer’s disease patients, providing biomedically relevant insights into changes in energy metabolism; as well as for natural products drug discovery. The nearest neighbor suspect spectral library is freely available with an open license on GNPS for community spectral library searching, where it can be used to provide novel hypotheses for previously unexplored untargeted metabolomics data.

description: Background: Psychological distress is highly prevalent in mid-aged adults (i.e., aged 40 to 64 years) and is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and economic burden. Mastery and physical activity are potential independent resources to mitigate distress, however, most research has examined these constructs independently. Therefore, the aim of this Clinical PhD research program was to understand the inter-relationship of mastery and physical activity with psychological distress in Australian mid-aged adults. [...]

description: Recently, several hypergraph Turán problems were solved by the powerful random algebraic method. However, the random algebraic method usually requires some parameters to be very large, hence we are concerned about how these Turán numbers depend on such large parameters of the forbidden hypergraphs. In this paper, we determine the dependence on such specified large constant for several hypergraph Turán problems. More specifically, for complete $r$-partite $r$-uniform hypergraphs, we show that if $s_{r}$ is sufficiently larger than $s_{1},s_{2},\ldots,s_{r-1},$ then $$\textup{ex}_{r}(n,K_{s_{1},s_{2},\ldots,s_{r}}^{(r)})=Θ(s_{r}^{\frac{1}{s_{1}s_{2}\cdots s_{r-1}}}n^{r-\frac{1}{s_{1}s_{2}\cdots s_{r-1}}}).$$ For complete bipartite $r$-uniform hypergraphs, we prove that if $s$ is sufficiently larger than $t,$ we have $$\textup{ex}_{r}(n,K_{s,t}^{(r)})=Θ(s^{\frac{1}{t}}n^{r-\frac{1}{t}}).$$ In particular, our results imply that the famous Kővári--Sós--Turán's upper bound $\textup{ex}(n,K_{s,t})=O(t^{\frac{1}{s}}n^{2-\frac{1}{s}})$ has the correct dependence on large $t$. The main approach is to construct random multi-hypergraph via a variant of random algebraic method.

Identifying a Higgsino-like NLSP in the context of a keV-scale gravitino LSP

description: The presence of a Higgsino-like neutralino next-to-lightest sparticle (NLSP) and a keV scale gravitino ($\widetilde{G}$) LSP opens up new decay modes of the NLSP, mainly to a Higgs/$Z$ boson and the LSP. Besides, a keV-scale gravitino as a warm dark matter candidate salvages a relatively-light Higgsino-like NLSP from dark matter constraints. We focus on the prospects of observing at least one b jet and two opposite sign leptons with a large missing transverse momenta ($\geq 1 b$ $+$ $ \ell^+\ell^-+\not{\!\!E}_T$) signal at the LHC. A distinguishing feature of this scenario is the production of longitudinal $Z$ bosons in neutralino decays, unlike in the case of gauginolike neutralinos, where the $Z$ is mostly transverse. The polarisation information of the parent $Z$ boson gets reflected in the angular distributions of the decay leptons and in some other variables derived therefrom.

description: From day one, the Egyptian uprising in 2011 has been called a “youth revolution”. While young educated Egyptians indeed were at the forefront of the protests on January 25, an exclusively agecentred perspective is insufficient for grasping the meaning of the events. Rather than focusing purely on a specific age group I conceive of “youthfulness” as a broader social construct. In this paper, I explore in what way we can consider the Egyptian revolution to be a youthful revolution, and argue that a focus on both youth and youthfulness offers an important conceptual access point to understanding the ongoing social, political and cultural transformations in Egypt. In order to make sense of the developments, we need to be aware of the most important youthrelated (structural) causes, triggers, and demands. The gerontocratic regime and its symbolism explain why youth advanced to a category of political conflict. Finally, also the largely negative image of youth that prevailed in Egypt, as well as young people‘s role and situation need be taken into account for analysing not only the dynamics of the 18 days in Tahrir but also the ongoing struggle for power and identity in Egypt.

description: Compared with a porometer, a thermal camera can be easily applied to large plant populations comprising a set of varieties, treatments, and replications, whereby, leaf temperature-based indicators are widely used to estimate stomatal conductance (gs); however, a major difficulty in applying these indicators is their vulnerability to meteorological conditions. In this study, a new indicator of gs (GsI) was developed with a modified theoretical equation of gs that was highly simplified by means of several assumptions. GsI calculation uses leaf and air temperature, relative humidity, and solar radiation measurements. To validate and compare GsI values with other thermal indicators as leaf-air temperature difference and crop water stress index, glasshouse and field experiments were conducted. Leaf temperature of cowpea plants was measured using a low-cost thermal camera to ensure a cost-friendly method. GsI proved to be more stable than other indicators, relative to the measured gs, irrespective of solar radiation, air temperature, and relative humidity conditions. As no reference temperature is needed for the calculation of GsI, it easily applies to large plant populations, although the GsI is most accurate in the range from moderate to high gs values (approximately, >0.2 mol m−2 s−1). We used GsI to evaluate a cowpea germplasm collection consisting of 248 accessions, and elucidated that most accessions with higher GsI, which expected to have higher gs, are originated in West-Africa. As GsI is available regardless of varying meteorological conditions, it is a useful indicator of gs, especially in field studies involving multilocation and time-course evaluations.

description: We use the results from the ALMA large program ASPECS, the spectroscopic survey in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), to constrain CO luminosity functions of galaxies and the resulting redshift evolution of $ρ$(H$_2$). The broad frequency range covered enables us to identify CO emission lines of different rotational transitions in the HUDF at $z>1$. We find strong evidence that the CO luminosity function evolves with redshift, with the knee of the CO luminosity function decreasing in luminosity by an order of magnitude from $\sim$2 to the local universe. Based on Schechter fits, we estimate that our observations recover the majority (up to $\sim$90%, depending on the assumptions on the faint end) of the total cosmic CO luminosity at $z$=1.0-3.1. After correcting for CO excitation, and adopting a Galactic CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor, we constrain the evolution of the cosmic molecular gas density $ρ$(H$_2$): this cosmic gas density peaks at $z\sim1.5$ and drops by factor of $6.5_{-1.4}^{+1.8}$ to the value measured locally. The observed evolution in $ρ$(H$_2$) therefore closely matches the evolution of the cosmic star formation rate density $ρ_{\rm SFR}$. We verify the robustness of our result with respect to assumptions on source inclusion and/or CO excitation. As the cosmic star formation history can be expressed as the product of the star formation efficiency and the cosmic density of molecular gas, the similar evolution of $ρ$(H$_2$) and $ρ_{\rm SFR}$ leaves only little room for a significant evolution of the average star formation efficiency in galaxies since $z\sim 3$ (85% of cosmic history).

description: We consider vector spaces H(n,l) and F(n,l) spanned by the degree-n coefficients in power series forms of the Homfly and Kauffman polynomials of links with l components. Generalizing previously known formulas, we determine the dimensions of the spaces H(n,l), F(n,l) and H(n,l)+F(n,l) for all values of n and l. Furthermore, we show that for knots the algebra generated by H(n,1)+F(n,1) (n > 0) is a polynomial algebra with dim(H(n,1)+F(n,1))-1=n+[n/2]-4 generators in degree n>3 and one generator in degrees 2 and 3.
