description: Selenium-induced fish kills in Belews Lake, North Carolina in the late-1970s resulted in a substantial amount of research on selenium effects to aquatic life. Similarly, selenium-induced teratogenesis in aquatic birds at Kesterson Reservoir, California in the mid-1980s resulted in extensive research on selenium effects to aquatic birds. Unlike many other contaminants for which water exposure is the critical pathway for environmental effects, selenium ecotoxicology is driven by bioaccumulation in invertebrates and exposure to fish and birds via the diet. At sufficiently high levels, these exposures result in embryo teratogenesis and reduced survival of larval fish and bird chicks. Because of the dietary exposure pathway, assessment of selenium risks to the environment is best accomplished by evaluating concentrations in fish and bird tissues rather than the water. One of the end results of the intensive research efforts mentioned above has been the publication of tissue-based toxicity thresholds for both fish and birds by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). These thresholds are being used in the United States and Canada for environmental assessments and for establishing clean-up guidelines for remediation/reclamation projects. We critically evaluated these thresholds and the scientific literature upon which they are based. Specifically, we evaluated the USFWS proposed thresholds for selenium in fish whole body tissue (4 mg/kg dw), fish ovaries (10 mg/kg dw), fish diets (3 mg/kg dw), and bird eggs (6 mg/kg dw). We observed that the USFWS thresholds for fish tissues appear overly conservative and do not appear to be well supported by the scientific literature. In several cases, the USFWS interpretation of the studies on which the thresholds are based are contrary to our interpretation, that of U.S. EPA, and the authors that published the study. Similarly, for birds we found that the USFWS threshold is based on unpublished field studies using a non-selenium specific endpoint - chick mortality. Because the details of the study and raw data are not readily available, it is difficult to ascertain whether the study adequately controlled for confounding factors such as disease, predators, weather and other contaminants. This concern is heightened by the fact that the field data does not agree with results from controlled laboratory studies evaluating the same endpoint. Considering the above, we re-examined all of the existing data and established alternative thresholds that we believe are better supported by the scientific evidence available. Specifically, we proposed thresholds for fish whole body, ovary, and diet of 6-9, 17, and! 10-11 mg/kg dw and a bird egg threshold of 16 mg/kg dw. The details of our analyses and justification for the alternative thresholds are presented in this paper.

description: A simple analytical framework to study the molecular quasispecies evolution of finite populations is proposed, in which the population is assumed to be a random combination of the constiyuent molecules in each generation,i.e., linkage disequilibrium at the population level is neglected. In particular, for the single-sharp-peak replication landscape we investigate the dependence of the error threshold on the population size and find that the replication accuracy at threshold increases linearly with the reciprocal of the population size for sufficiently large populations. Furthermore, in the deterministic limit our formulation yields the exact steady-state of the quasispecies model, indicating then the population composition is a random combination of the molecules.

description: Although we know that black holes are characterized by a temperature and an entropy, we do not yet have a satisfactory microscopic ``statistical mechanical'' explanation for black hole thermodynamics. I describe a new approach that attributes the thermodynamic properties to ``would-be gauge'' degrees of freedom that become dynamical on the horizon. For the (2+1)-dimensional black hole, this approach gives the correct entropy. (Talk given at the Pacific Conference on Gravitation and Cosmology, Seoul, February 1996.)

description: The current status of and motivation for the 4MOST Survey Strategy, as developed by the Consortium science team, are presented here. Key elements of the strategy are described, such as sky coverage, number of visits and total exposure times in different parts of the sky, and how to deal with different observing conditions. The task of organising the strategy is not simple, with many different surveys that have vastly different target brightnesses and densities, sample completeness levels, and signal-to-noise requirements. We introduce here a number of concepts that we will use to ensure all surveys are optimised. Astronomers who are planning to submit a Participating Survey proposal are strongly encouraged to read this article and any relevant 4MOST Survey articles in this issue of The Messenger such that they can optimally complement and benefit from the planned surveys of the 4MOST Consortium.

description: The one-dimensional Hubbard model is known to possess an extended su(2) symmetry and to be integrable. I introduce an integrable model with an extended su(n) symmetry. This model contains the usual su(2) Hubbard model and has a set of features that makes it the natural su(n) generalization of the Hubbard model. Complete integrability is shown by introducing the L-matrix and showing that the transfer matrix commutes with the hamiltonian. While the model is integrable in one dimension, it provides a generalization of the Hubbard hamiltonian in any dimension.

description: The goal of this survey is to study the formation and evolution of the Milky Way halo to deduce its assembly history and the 3D distribution of mass in the Milky Way. The combination of multi-band photometry, Gaia proper motion and parallax data, and radial velocities and the metallicity and elemental abundances obtained from low-resolution spectra of halo giants with 4MOST, will yield an unprecedented characterisation of the Milky Way halo and its interface with the thick disc. The survey will produce a volume- and magnitude-limited complete sample of giant stars in the halo. It will cover at least 10,000 square degrees of high Galactic latitude, and measure line-of-sight velocities with a precision of 1-2 km/s as well as metallicities to within 0.2 dex.

description: One of the most serious problems facing the mining industry is the oxidation of sulphide rich mine tailings and sulphide rich ore bodies that ultimately results in the release of metal-rich acidic waters. ENPAR Technologies Inc. has developed a patented electrochemical technology to prevent the formation of acid mine/acid rock drainage (AMD/ARD). This new approach complements conventional reclamation strategies. Sulphide minerals exhibit semiconductor properties and consequently are amenable to electrochemical manipulation. Electronegative polarization can be used to prevent the oxidation of sulphide rich tailings deposits in a manner similar to that used in cathodic protection of steel structures. The resulting cathodic polarization leads to in-situ electrochemical reduction of oxygen at the tailings/soil interface and a shift of the redox potential of the sulphide minerals to a stability field where oxidation is notthermodynamically favoured. Field testing of the technology has been completed at a 4 hectare tailings site near Sudbury, Ontario (Canada). Electrochemical treatment successfully removed oxygen from infiltrating water, increased the stability of the tailings (lower redox potential), and polarized the tailings. A modification of the design for high sulphide tailings has been developed for sulphide containing waste rock and low sulphide tailings.

description: We will study the formation history of the Milky Way, and the earliest phases of its chemical enrichment, with a sample of more than 1.5 million stars at high galactic latitude. Elemental abundances of up to 20 elements with a precision of better than 0.2 dex will be derived for these stars. The sample will include members of kinematically coherent substructures, which we will associate with their possible birthplaces by means of their abundance signatures and kinematics, allowing us to test models of galaxy formation. Our target catalogue is also expected to contain 30,000 stars at a metallicity of less than one hundredth that of the Sun. This sample will therefore be almost a factor of 100 larger than currently existing samples of metal-poor stars for which precise elemental abundances are available (determined from high-resolution spectroscopy), enabling us to study the early chemical evolution of the Milky Way in unprecedented detail.

We reformulate Q-state Potts model into the model which can be identified as a weighted percolation cluster model and can make continuous change of Q, which relates c, on the dynamically triangulated lattice. The c-dependence of the critical coupling is measured from the percolation probability and susceptibility. The c-dependence of the string susceptibility of the quantum surface is evaluated and has very good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The c-dependence of the fractal dimension based on the finite size scaling hypothesis is measured and has excellent agreement with one of the theoretical predictions previously proposed except for the region near $c\approx 1$.

Making of a Voiceless Youth: Corruption in Bosnia and Herzegovina's Higher Education
Creators: Sabic-El-Rayess, Amra
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Education

description: This research has analyzed a set of structural elements, procedures, and behaviors within Bosnia and Herzegovina's (thereafter, "Bosnia" or "B&H") higher education that have jointly created an encouraging space for the increasing and self-serving utilization of higher education by the country's post-war elite. Of the particular interest is this elite's impact on the forms of educational corruption, which have shifted away from standard bribing processes and moved toward more complex favor reciprocation networks. This process has ensured that today's corruption is perceived as a norm in Bosnia's higher education. Its prevalence has disrupted existing social mobility mechanisms and created a duality in the social mobility process so that the unprivileged still work hard to obtain their degrees while those with social connections are reliant on Turner's (1960) sponsorship model. The analysis goes beyond dissecting corruption's impact on modes of social mobility by redefining Hirschman's (1970) notions of voice, exit, and loyalty within higher education and expanding his theoretical framework to adequately capture and understand the unique set of coping mechanisms that has emerged within Bosnia's corrupt higher education. I reinterpret the voice mechanism that Hirschman sees as a political tool capable of bringing about change as, ironically, severely diminished in its power when observed within a corrupt environment. I further reformulate the notion of exit and contextualize it within the corrupt Bosnian educational system by differentiating amongst various types of exit. In the process, the study finds that Bosnian students often remain in the same educational institution despite the high level of perceived corruption. By ignoring their immediate surroundings and rather than departing physically as Hirschman would expect, students choose to exit mentally from the corrupt operational framework in which they continue to function physically. Lastly, with hard-work and morality marginalized, the question remains open on when the youth will push the educational system in Bosnia toward a tipping point, regain their voice, and transform from an indolent mass to an active reformer. Projects requiring greater transparency of the exam and grading procedures, enhancing external support, and providing spaces for disclosure and adequate management of incidences of corruption, when and if detected, would constitute a meaningful starting point that would help incentivize change. In the absence of concern with the current level of educational corruption, however, the dominance of the incompetent elites will only continue to dilute the effectiveness of the aid being poured into the EU's broader nation-building agenda for post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina.

description: The mechanisms of the formation and evolution of the Milky Way are encoded in the orbits, chemistry and ages of its stars. With the 4MOST MIlky way Disk And BuLgE Low-Resolution Survey (4MIDABLE-LR) we aim to study kinematic and chemical substructures in the Milky Way disc and bulge region with samples of unprecedented size out to larger distances and greater precision than conceivable with Gaia alone or any other ongoing or planned survey. Gaia gives us the unique opportunity for target selection based almost entirely on parallax and magnitude range, hence increasing the efficiency in sampling larger Milky Way volumes with well-defined and effective selection functions. Our main goal is to provide a detailed chrono-chemo-kinematical extended map of our Galaxy and the largest Gaia follow-up down to $G = 19$ magnitudes (Vega). The complex nature of the disc components (for example, large target densities and highly structured extinction distribution in the Milky Way bulge and disc area), prompted us to develop a survey strategy with five main sub-surveys that are tailored to answer the still open questions about the assembly and evolution of our Galaxy, while taking full advantage of the Gaia data.

description: Background:
Neuromodulative therapies are gaining increasing interest in the treatment of Tourette Syndrome. So far, deep brain stimulation has provided promising results in treatment-refractory patients but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Comparable effects of different brain targets have yielded towards the hypothesis that a common network might carry out beneficial effects. Which regions functionally connected to stimulation sites carry out beneficial effects and whether connectivity is able to predict individual outcomes was the aim of this study.

Materials & Methods:
We included 14 patients undergoing thalamic deep brain stimulation. Response to the intervention was determined as percentage change of the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale after one year. Optimal functional connectivity patterns seeding from individual volumes of activated tissue were calculated based on publicly available normative connectome data. This connectivity pattern was then used to predict individual outcomes in a leave-one-out design.

Results and Conclusions:
Optimal normative connectivity profiles of effective stimulation encompass connectivity to (pre-) motor areas as well as insular cortices. Regions-of-interest analysis revealed significant positive correlations for outcome after year of DBS and connectivity to the supplementary motor area (left: r=0.541 (p=0.025); right: r=0.680 (p=0.006)) and bilateral insula (left: r=0.590 (p=0.021); right: r=0.598 (p=0.012)). With this model, we were able to significantly predict individual outcomes of DBS (r=0.485; p=0.040; one-tailed).

Our results demonstrate that individual functional connectivity profiles of stimulation sites are able to predict clinical outcome in Tourette Syndrome. The resulting optimal connectivity profiles may further serve to improve target selection for both invasive and non-invasive neuromodulation for Tourette Syndrome.

description: A group-category is an additively semisimple category with a monoidal product structure in which the simple objects are invertible. For example in the category of representations of a group, 1-dimensional representations are the invertible simple objects. This paper gives a detailed exploration of "topological quantum field theories" for group-categories, in hopes of finding clues to a better understanding of the general situation. Group-categories are classified in several ways extending results of Froelich and Kerler. Topological field theories based on homology and cohomology are constructed, and these are shown to include theories obtained from group-categories by Reshetikhin-Turaev constructions. Braided-commutative categories most naturally give theories on 4-manifold thickenings of 2-complexes; the usual 3-manifold theories are obtained from these by normalizing them (using results of Kirby) to depend mostly on the boundary of the thickening. This is worked out for group-categories, and in particular we determine when the normalization is possible and when it is not.

description: The signatures of the formation and evolution of a galaxy are imprinted in its stars. Their velocities, ages, and chemical compositions present major constraints on models of galaxy formation, and on various processes such as the gas inflows and outflows, the accretion of cold gas, radial migration, and the variability of star formation activity. Understanding the evolution of the Milky Way requires large observational datasets of stars via which these quantities can be determined accurately. This is the science driver of the 4MOST MIlky way Disc And BuLgE High-Resolution (4MIDABLE-HR) survey: to obtain high-resolution spectra at $R \sim 20\,000$ and to provide detailed elemental abundances for large samples of stars in the Galactic disc and bulge. High data quality will allow us to provide accurate spectroscopic diagnostics of two million stellar spectra: precise radial velocities; rotation; abundances of many elements, including those that are currently only accessible in the optical, such as Li, s-, and r-process; and multi-epoch spectra for a sub-sample of stars. Synergies with complementary missions like Gaia and TESS will provide masses, stellar ages and multiplicity, forming a multi-dimensional dataset that will allow us to explore and constrain the origin and structure of the Milky Way.

description: We show here that matrix Darboux-Toda transformation can be written as a product of a number of mappings. Each of these mappings is a symmetry of the matrix nonlinear Shrodinger system of integro-differential equations. We thus introduce a completely new type of discrete transformations for this system. The discrete symmetry of the vector nonlinear Shrodinger system is a particular realization of these mappings.

description: Groups and clusters of galaxies are a current focus of astronomical research owing to their role in determining the environmental effects on galaxies and the constraints they provide to cosmology. The eROSITA X-ray telescope on board the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma observatory will be launched in 2019 and will have completed eight scans of the full sky when 4MOST starts operating. The experiment will detect groups and clusters of galaxies through X-ray emission from the hot intergalactic medium. The purpose of the 4MOST eROSITA Galaxy Cluster Redshift Survey is to provide spectroscopic redshifts of the optical counterparts to the X-ray emission from 40,000 groups and clusters of galaxies so as to perform dynamical estimates of the total mass and to measure the properties of the member galaxies. The survey aims to obtain precise redshift measurements of the photometrically identified brightest cluster galaxies at redshift $z > 0.7$. At lower redshifts ($z < 0.7$), the programme aims to sample over 15 member galaxies per cluster and enable dynamical mass measurements to calibrate the clusters for cosmological experiments. At $z < 0.2$, eROSITA will also detect X-ray emission from galaxy groups and filaments. 4MOST spectroscopic data from the survey will be used for optical identification of galaxy groups down to eROSITA's mass detection limits of $10^{13} M_\odot$, as well as the detection of the largest filaments for pioneering studies of their X-ray emission.

Toxicity identification evaluation of effluent from a mine

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The toxicity of discharges from mining operations continue to be of concern to the regulatory community and mine operators. Toxicity in discharges may be caused by a variety of factors, including metals, ammonia, pH, process chemicals and total dissolved solids. In this study, a toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) was performed on samples of a discharge from a gold and silver mine which exhibited toxicity in 7-day partial lifecycle tests using the freshwater cladoceran Ceriodaphnia dubia. The results indicated that an organic anion was responsible for toxicity and that phosphorus concentrations in the treatments were correlated with toxicity. Collectively, the data suggested that a phosphine-based collector (Aerophine 34ISA Promoter) used in the metals flotation process was the most likely cause of the observed toxicity. Consequently, the chemical was evaluated for toxicity and its response to the TIE procedures which were effective at reducing toxicity in the discharge sample. These results, and those of a confirmatory spiking study, consistently suggested that Aerophine was the cause toxicity. Efforts at the mine to reduce the residual concentration of this process chemical resulted in reduced toxicity of the discharge.

description: We evaluate the current state-of-the-art in dense correspondence estimation for the use in multi-image interpolation algorithms.
The evaluation is carried out on three real-world scenes and one synthetic scene, each featuring varying challenges for dense correspondence estimation. The primary focus of our study is on the perceptual quality of the interpolation sequences created from the estimated flow fields. Perceptual plausibility is assessed by means of a psychophysical userstudy. Our results show that current state-of-the-art in dense correspondence estimation does not produce visually plausible interpolations.

Mittels einer perzeptuellen Benutzerstudie werten wir die wahrgenommene Qualität der interpolierten Bildsequenzen aus. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen dass der gegenwärtige Stand der Technik in dichter Korrespondezschätzung nicht für die Zwischenbildsynthese geeignet ist.

description: X-ray and mid-infrared emission are signposts of the accretion of matter onto the supermassive black holes that reside at the centres of most galaxies. As a major step towards understanding accreting supermassive black holes and their role in the evolution of galaxies, we will use the 4MOST multi-object spectrograph to provide a highly complete census of active galactic nuclei over a large fraction of the extragalactic sky observed in X-rays by eROSITA that is visible to 4MOST. We will systematically follow up all eROSITA point-like extragalactic X-ray sources (mostly active galactic nuclei), and complement them with a heavily obscured active galactic nuclei selection approach using mid-infrared data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The X-ray and mid-infrared flux limits of eROSITA and WISE are well matched to the spectroscopic capabilities of a 4-metre-class telescope, allowing us to reach completeness levels of ~80-90% for all X-ray selected active galactic nuclei with fluxes $f_{0.5-2\ {\rm keV}} > 10^{-14}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$; this is about a factor of 30 deeper than the ROSAT all-sky survey. With these data we will determine the physical properties (redshift, luminosity, line emission strength, masses, etc.) of up to one million supermassive black holes, constrain their cosmic evolution and clustering properties, and explore the connection between active galactic nuclei and large-scale structure over redshifts $0 \le z \le 6$.

description: We present results from a numerical study of spherically-symmetric collapse of a self-gravitating, SU(2) gauge field. Two distinct critical solutions are observed at the threshold of black hole formation. In one case the critical solution is discretely self-similar and black holes of arbitrarily small mass can form. However, in the other instance the critical solution is the n=1 static Bartnik-Mckinnon sphaleron, and black hole formation turns on at finite mass. The transition between these two scenarios is characterized by the superposition of both types of critical behaviour.

description: We propose an alternative over current approaches to stereoscopic 3D video content creation based on a free-viewpoint video. Acquisition and editing is greatly simplified. Our method is suitable for arbitrary real-world scenes. From unsynchronized multi-view video footage, our approach renders high-quality stereo sequences without the need to explicitly reconstruct any scene depth or geometry. By allowing to freely edit viewpoint, slow motion, freeze-rotate shots, depth-of-field, and many more effects, the presented approach extends the possibilities in stereo 3D movie creation.
description: In diesem Report schlagen wir eine Alternative zu gegenwärtig in der Produktion von stereoskopischen Filmen verwendeten Techniken vor. Unser Ansatz basiert auf der Verwendung eines Systems zur Blickpunktnavigation. Die Aufnahme und die Editierung der Stereodaten wird dadurch erheblich vereinfacht. Unsere Methode generiert qualitativ hochwertige Stereosequenzen ohne dabei Szenengeometrie oder Szenetiefe explizit zu rekonstruieren. Das Verfahren ermöglicht es den Blickpunkt und die Wiedergabegeschwindigkeit zu ändern und visuelle Effekte zu integrieren, wodurch neue künstlerische Möglichkeiten in der stereoskopischen Filmproduktion erschlossen werden.

description: The disappearance of the Fellowship from the formal record of town government in Lewes, during and after the 16 70s, has been noted in passing by previous local historians. This article seeks to set that disappearance in the wider context of the sectarian and political divisions occurring within the county town at the time. In particular the consolidation of a new civic elite, quite distinct in its composition from that of the redundant Fellowship, is seen as marking the emergence of a Tory party in the Borough.

description: We synthesized single crystalline and policrystalline MgB_2 under ambient pressures. The single crystals of MgB_2 were of good quality, where the crystal structure refinements were successfully converged with R = 0.020. The specific heat of policrystalline MgB_2 samples has been measured in a temperature range between 2 and 60 K in magnetic field up to 6 T. The measurement gave the coefficient of the linear term in the electronic specific heat, gamma = 3.51 mJ/K^2 mol, and the jump of the specific heat, 2.8 mJ/K^2 mol at 38.5 K. It is shown from the analysis of the specific heat that the electronic specific heat in the superconducting state differs largely from the conventional BCS weak coupling theory. From the results of measurements of the magnetic properties on single crystal samples, we found a sharp superconducting transition at 38 K with transition width Delta Tc = 0.8 K and the superconducting anisotropy ratio gamma increasing from about 1 near Tc to 4.0 at 25 K.
