description: The possibility that neutron stars may contain substantial hyperon populations has important implications for neutron-star cooling and, through bulk viscosity, the viability of the r-modes of accreting neutron stars as sources of persistent gravitational waves. In conjunction with laboratory measurements of hypernuclei, astronomical observations were used by Glendenning and Moszkowski [Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 2414 (1991)] to constrain the properties of hyperonic equations of state within the framework of relativistic mean-field theory. We revisit the problem, incorporating recent measurements of high neutron-star masses and a gravitational redshift. We find that only the stiffest of the relativistic hyperonic equations of state commonly used in the literature is compatible with the redshift. However, it is possible to construct stiffer equations of state within the same framework which produce the observed redshift while satisfying the experimental constraints on hypernuclei, and we do this. The stiffness parameter that most affects the redshift is not the incompressibility but rather the hyperon coupling. Nonrelativistic potential-based equations of state with hyperons are not constrained by the redshift, primarily due to a smaller stellar radius.

description: Perceptions of the ‘wriggle room’ within the framework of European integration might have significant implications for both public opinion and policy choices, as exemplified by the Brexit process. Examining how ideas of a wriggle room are presented to the public is therefore important, and even more so for arrangements of external differentiated integration, where formal access to EU decision-making is restricted. Through examining how Norwegian politicians have presented the wriggle room within the EEA association in the period 1987–2022, the article shows how such presentations vary. It is argued that these are not only dependent on the legal-institutional framework of the agreement, but that the parties’ positions on the EEA association and on European integration in general condition their presentations.

description: This article describes the results of a systematic in-depth study of the criteria used for word sense disambiguation. Our study is based on 60 target words: 20 nouns, 20 adjectives and 20 verbs. Our results are not always in line with some practices in the field. For example, we show that omitting non-content words decreases performance and that bigrams yield better results than unigrams.
Implications of baryon-dark matter interaction on IGM temperature and tSZ effect with magnetic field

description: We show that the combined effect of cosmic magnetic field and a possible non-standard interaction between baryons and dark matter has interesting consequences on the thermal Sunyaev$-$Zel${'}$dovich (tSZ) effect depending on the temperature and the ionization state of the intergalactic medium. The drag force between the baryons and dark matter due to the relative velocity between them, and their temperature difference results in heat transfer between these two species. At the same time the ambipolar diffusion and the decaying magnetic turbulence tends to heat up the baryons. This interplay of these two processes give rise to different evolution histories of the thermal and ionization state of the universe and hence influences the CMB spectrum at small scales through the tSZ effect. In this work, we have computed the evolution of the temperature, ionization fraction and the y-parameter of the CMB for different strengths of the magnetic field and the interaction cross-section. We note that an interaction cross-section of $σ_0=10^{-42}$ m$^{2}$ (with a magnetic field strength of $3.0$ nG) reduces the y-parameter by an order of magnitude as compared to the case with similar strength of magnetic field but where there is no such interaction between the baryons and dark matter.

description: In this paper we consider different strategies for implementing a payment for environmental services (PES) program to mitigate deforestation in Mexican common property forests (ejidos). We begin by discussing the policy context within which PES programs find themselves, highlighting other possible interventions to help preserve environmental amenities in Mexico. We then discuss some basic principles of environmental payment schemes, formalizing these into three that we simulate: payment of the opportunity cost for forests at risks; payment for environmental benefits provided by forests at risk; a flat payment scheme with a cap on allowable hectares, similar to the type of program often applied in developing countries; and a program of opportunity cost payments for forest at risk with highest environmental benefit per dollar paid. We find that, of these three, the last is most efficient and the second most egalitarian. We also repeat a simulation of the third scheme using predicted, rather than actual risk, which circumvents the problem of strategic behavior on the part of recipient communities but introduces some error into the targeting process. Finally, we consider the characteristics of communities that receive payments from the most efficient program, finding that larger and more remote ejidos receive the lion's share of the budget, but that payments to them are not necessarily more efficient. This scheme also gives more, though smaller on a per capita basis, payments to poor and indigenous communities, where they are more efficient than those to non-poor and non-indigenous ejidos.

In Career Arcs: Identity, Oppression, and Diversity in Archaeology, I present an intersectional, qualitative study of how racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, and ableism shape the demographics of archaeology, and the knowledge that archaeologists produce. I examine the personal narratives of over seventy diverse archaeologists, with whom I conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews. I demonstrate that intersecting systemic oppressions deeply shape who enters archaeological careers, the conditions of those careers, and the research archaeologists pursue. On the disciplinary level, our homogenous demographics limit the knowledge of past human societies that archaeologists produce. I offer strategies for marginalized archaeologists to build successful careers and for established scholars to support the creation of a discipline as diverse as the past peoples we study.

description: Basic considerations of lens detection and identification indicate that a wide field survey of the types planned for weak lensing and Type Ia SNe with SNAP are close to optimal for the optical detection of strong lenses. Such a ``piggy-back'' survey might be expected even pessimistically to provide a catalogue of a few thousand new strong lenses, with the numbers dominated by systems of faint blue galaxies lensed by foreground ellipticals. After sketching out our strategy for detecting and measuring these galaxy lenses using the SNAP images, we discuss some of the scientific applications of such a large sample of gravitational lenses: in particular we comment on the partition of information between lens structure, the source population properties and cosmology. Understanding this partitioning is key to assessing strong lens cosmography's value as a cosmological probe.

The history of charitable giving along the Shikoku pilgrimage route
Creators: name: Moreton, David C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The following thesis examines the extensive history of charitable giving along the eighty-eight temple pilgrimage route around the island of Shikoku, Japan. The founder of this route, believed by common tradition, is Kukai, (posthumous name, Kobo Daishi 774-835), who established the Shingon sect in Japan, emphasizing that all people could achieve the 'attainment of Buddhahood in this life' (sokushin jobutsu). To achieve this Buddhahood, one must participate in the Six Perfections, the first being, 'to give', that is through charitable giving. Since the time of Kobo Daishi, there has been a custom of giving to religious figures such as monks or pilgrims in Japan. The Shikoku pilgrimage, unlike other pilgrimage routes, offers a unique perspective for a study in charitable giving for at least two reasons. First, Kobo Daishi has traditionally held a strong influence on the people who have participated as donors of charity, especially on the local people within Shikoku. Secondly, the isolation of Shikoku has allowed this pilgrimage route to preserve its original religious nature for much longer than other areas. As a result, the custom of giving remains unusually prevalent to this day. Through the use of numerous primary sources written by both Japanese and foreign authors who offer their firsthand accounts of charitable giving, from the Tokugawa period (1600-1868) until the mid-twentieth century, I will argue that this custom of giving along the Shikoku route was a wide spread phenomenon that was evident in a variety of forms. It will become evident that the concept of giving in Shikoku has had a strong tie with religion, specifically with the teachings and legends of Kobo Daishi. To provide evidence for this, and to examine other reasons for people's participation in charitable giving, I will explore the origins of this custom in Japan, explain the motives for giving, and highlight the numerous ways in which people throughout Japan have provided charity to Shikoku pilgrims for such an extensive period of time.

description: As a probe of the Yang-Mills vacuum, we study numerically the eigenmode spectrum of the covariant lattice Laplacian operator. We find that the eigenmodes at the low and high ends of the spectrum are localized in finite regions whose volume is insensitive to the lattice volume. We also find that the vacuum is seen very differently by localized modes of the covariant Laplacian in different representations of the gauge group. In the fundamental representation, the data suggests that the localization volume is finite in physical units set by the string tension, and localization disappears when center vortices are removed. In the adjoint and j=3/2 representations the low and high-lying modes are far more localized, and the localization volume appears to scale to zero, in physical units, in the continuum limit. The adjoint Laplacian is insensitive to vortex removal, but we find that exponential localization is absent for adjoint eigenmodes in the Higgs phase of a gauge-Higgs theory. Localization is also absent in the spectrum of the Coulomb gauge Faddeev-Popov operator, as required in Coulomb gauge confinement scenarios.

description: We calculate the direct CP violating asymmetry parameter, $a_{CP}$, for $B \to π^{+} π^{-} π$ and $B \to π^{+} π^{-} K$ decays, in the case where $ρ^0-ω$ mixing effects are taken into account. We find that the direct CP asymmetry for $B^{-} \to π^{+} π^{-} π^{-}$, $\bar{B}^{0} \to π^{+} π^{-}π^{0}$, $B^{-} \to π^{+} π^{-} K^{-}$ and $\bar{B}^{0} \to π^{+} π^{-}\bar{K}^{0}$, reaches its maximum when the invariant mass $π^{+} π^{-}$ is in the vicinity of the $ω$ meson mass. The inclusion of $ρ^0-ω$ mixing provides an opportunity to erase, without ambiguity, the phase uncertainty mod$(π)$ in the determination of the CKM angles $α$ in case of $b\to u$ and $γ$ in case of $b \to s$.

Economic, animal productivity, international trade and animal welfare issues associated with mastitis play an important role in the agricultural industry. Therefore, worldwide dairy cattle breeding programmes are trying to breed cows wіth improved resistance tо mastitis. Mastitis can’t be eliminated but can be reduced to a low level. It can be achieved by breeding strategies, reducing the exposure to pathogen and increasing the resistance to intramammary infection. Numerous therapeutic, prophylactic аnd management techniques аrе uѕеd аѕ control and reduce the mastitis. However, а widely proposed strategy marker assisted selection uѕіng candidate gene approach which іѕ based оn improving thе host genetics. One of them is cluster of differentiation 4 ( CD4 ) gene, which is а glycoprotein located оn receptors оf immune cells. CD4 exhibit аn essential role іn a variety of inflammation related conditions іn mаnу species. Therefore, CD4 as a candidate gene for resistance to mastitis has received considerable attention. The review is based on a study of CD4 in association with improving resistance to mastitis and it may be helpful in formulating breeding programmes and marker assisted selection to lower the mastitis.

description: We examine the role that the gap dependence of the pairing interaction plays in the gap equation for a weakly coupled uniform superfluid of three-flavor massless quarks near the transition temperature T_c. We find that the feedback effects on Landau-damped transverse gluons mediating the pairing interaction alter the gap magnitude in a way dependent on the color structure of the gap. We estimate corrections by these effects to the parameters characterizing the fourth order terms in the Ginzburg-Landau free energy and ensure the stability of a color-flavor locked state near T_c.

Using the geometric properties of the nuclear shell model, we discuss the information content of nuclear spectra, and gain insight in the difficulties encountered when fitting the effective interaction. We exhibit the existence of correlations between spectral widths pertaining to different quantum numbers. Using these results, we deduce the preponderance of spin-zero ground states in the TBRE. We demonstrate the existence of correlations between spectra with different quantum numbers and/or in different nuclei.

description: This study evaluates the anti-inflammatory effects of a natural product, piperine (PPN), using in vivo and in silico methodologies. In the in vivo segment, inflammation was induced in the right hind paw of young chicks via a formalin (50 μL) injection. PPN was orally administered at doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg with or without celecoxib (CXB) and/or ketoprofen (KPN) (42 mg/kg). The vehicle acted as the negative control group (NC). The in silico analysis predicted the drug-likeness, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity profile of PPN, along with evaluating its binding affinity and ligand-receptor interactions. Results indicate that PPN significantly (p < 0.05) reduced licking frequency and paw edoema in a dose-dependent manner. However, in combination therapy, PPN diminished the effects of both CXB and KPN. PPN showed high affinity (–8.6 kcal/mol) towards the COX-2 enzyme. Therefore, PPN exerts anti-inflammatory effects in chicks through COX-2 inhibition pathways and antagonises CXB and KPN activities.

description: Background: Maharishi Amrit Kalash (MAK) 4 and 5 are Ayurvedic herbal nutritional supplements that are believed to have beneficial effects on overall health and wellbeing. This study aimed to systematically review all available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the clinical effects and safety of MAK. Methods: We included RCTs on therapy, health promotion, and prevention for patients and healthy volunteers of all ages. We systematically searched MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE (via Ovid), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, The Cochrane Library), DHARA, Clinicaltrials.gov, the World Health Organization (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and Google Scholar from inception through 7 May 2023, with no time or language restrictions. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool version 1. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO before conducting the review (CRD42023421655). Results: Three RCTs with 418 study participants were included. Two studies were on breast cancer patients and one on healthy adults. The two studies on cancer evaluated the efficacy of MAK in reducing the side effects of chemotherapy in women with breast cancer. The study on healthy adults evaluated whether MAK has an effect on an age-related alertness task as an indicator of cognitive aging. Both studies on breast cancer patients found beneficial effects on performance status, anorexia, vomiting, and body weight. One study reported positive effects regarding stomatitis. Regarding visual alertness, results showed that individuals who received MAK improved in performance. None of the three included studies reported adverse events. The risk of bias was mixed. Due to the small number and heterogeneity of the RCTs, no meta-analysis could be performed. Conclusion: There is evidence that MAK may have supportive effects in chemotherapeutic treatments for breast cancer patients and for healthy individuals regarding visual discrimination. However, it is difficult to verify treatment effects due to the small number of RCTs and the mixed risk of bias. Furthermore, none of the included studies recorded adverse events. Therefore, further high-quality studies are warranted to confirm the potential health benefits of MAK and to determine its optimal dosage and duration of use.

description: The primary objective of this paper is to estimate the influence of Lake Erie water quality on the housing price by taking spatial effects into account. The robust LM tests for spatial autocorrelation suggested that spatial error model specification is more likely model in our study. Fecal coliform counts and Secchi depth disk reading are used as water quality measures. In order to overcome the spatio-temporal aspects of Secchi depth disk reading data, Kriging was used for spatial prediction. We found the significant influences of both water quality measures on housing values. Gradient effects considering the distance from a beach and water quality variables are also observed.

The integral building-landscape : developing a language of integration
Creators: name: Bily, David John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis looks at the problem of disconnection between buildings and landscape and attempts to examine the notion of integration with the goal of developing a set of principles for integrating building and landscape. The work begins by examining characteristics of building and landscape as well as attitudes towards nature, which may provide some initial indication of connectedness. From there, the term integration is examined and a foundation for a potential integrated building/landscape relationship is laid out. Next, selected historical precedents are reviewed in order to construct a background of integrated relationships. These precedents are furthermore used to begin to create a list of case studies for developing a language of integration. The historical review includes both "high" architecture demonstrating integration through spiritual connections and search for a topos, as well as vernacular buildings and their integrative approach to construction, of necessity. The integration language itself is developed through two parallel methodologies. It begins with a set of case studies examined for their formal/physical qualities of integration and how they are demonstrating integration. These case studies are categorized in a taxonomic fashion based on their kind/form of integration. The result of the case studies analyses is a final grouping of integration ideas based on observation, (positive analysis) Secondly, a number of issues are used to extract opinions from a set of reviewed literature of many different designers and theorists, and compared to illustrate commonalities between opinions. It arrives at another set of condensed integration ideas based on opinions from literature, which are considered experientially important for the building/landscape relationship, (normative analysis) The integration ideas from literature are then compared with the formally observed ideas from the case studies to inform the construction of a combined set of integration principles. These principles are then 'test driven' with the Jericho Sailing Centre in order to work with the them and make any revisions. A final language of integration principles is then established. The final language consists of a set of prerequisites and 14 physical design principles, concerned with situating of buildings, building form, and detailing of the relationship between building envelope and landscape space which will help to integrate building and landscape. The final language is intended to act as a design tool or as a way of analyzing existing projects. Further research would involve application of these principles at different densities and at different scales of urban design, as well as comparison with sustainability criteria.

description: We investigate quantum fluctuations of a vortex lattice in a one-dimensional optical lattice. Our method gives full access to all the modes of the vortex lattice and we discuss in particular the Bloch bands of the Tkachenko modes. Because of the small number of particles in the pancake Bose-Einstein condensates at every site of the optical lattice, finite-size effects become very important. Therefore, the fluctuations in the vortex positions are inhomogeneous and the melting of the lattice occurs from the outside inwards. Tunneling between neighbouring pancakes substantially reduces the inhomogeneity as well as the size of the fluctuations.

description: We present the results of MeerKAT radio observations of eleven nearby novalike cataclysmic variables. We have detected radio emission from IM Eri, RW Sex, V3885 Sgr and V603 Aql. While RW Sex, V3885 Sgr and V603 Aql had been previously detected, this is the first reported radio detection of IM Eri. Our observations have doubled the sample of non-magnetic CVs with sensitive radio data. We observe that at our radio detection limits, a specific optical luminosity $\gtrsim 2.2\times 10^{18}$ erg/s/Hz (corresponding to $M_V \lesssim 6.0$) is required to produce a radio detection. We also observe that the X-ray and radio luminosities of our detected novalikes are on an extension of the $L_{X} \propto L_{R}^{\sim 0.7}$ power law originally proposed for non-pulsating neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries. We find no other correlations between the radio emission and emission in other wavebands or any other system parameters for the existing sample of radio-detected non-magnetic CVs. We measure in-band (0.9-1.7 GHz) radio spectral indices that are consistent with reports from earlier work. Finally, we constructed broad spectral energy distributions for our sample from published multi-wavelength data, and use them to place constraints on the mass transfer rates of these systems.

description: We use a stochastic production frontier model to investigate the presence of heterogeneous production and its impact on fleet capacity and capacity utilization in a multi-species fishery. Furthermore, we propose a new fleet capacity estimate that incorporates complete information on the stochastic differences between each vessel-specific technical efficiency distribution. Results indicate that ignoring heterogeneity in production technologies within a multi-species fishery, as well as the complete distribution of a vessel's technical efficiency score, may yield erroneous fleet-wide production profiles and estimates of capacity.

description: Background: Pretherapeutic chromogranin A, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), or De Ritis ratio (aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase) are prognostic factors in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NET) undergoing peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). However, their value for intratherapeutic monitoring remains unclear. We evaluated if changes in plasma markers during PRRT can help identify patients with unfavorable outcomes. Methods: A monocentric retrospective analysis of 141 patients with NET undergoing PRRT with [177Lu]Lu-DOTATOC was conducted. Changes in laboratory parameters were calculated by dividing the values determined immediately before each cycle of PRRT by the pretherapeutic value. Patients with low vs. high PFS were compared with the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results: Progression, relapse, or death after PRRT was observed in 103/141 patients. Patients with low PFS showed a significant relative ALP increase before the third (p = 0.014) and fourth (p = 0.039) cycles of PRRT. Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed a median PFS of 24.3 months (95% CI, 20.7–27.8 months) in patients with decreasing ALP values (Δ > 10%) during treatment, 12.5 months (95% CI, 9.2–15.8 months) in patients with increasing ALP values (Δ > 10%), and 17.7 months (95% CI, 13.6–21.8 months) with stable ALP values (Δ ± 10%). Conclusions: Based on these exploratory data, a rise in plasma ALP might indicate disease progression and should be interpreted cautiously during therapy.

description: A new protoberberine type alkaloid, 11-diethylaminomethyl corydalmine (1), and 27 known alkaloids (2-28) were isolated from the tuberous roots of Stephania cephalantha. Their structures were identified by spectral analysis. Enzyme inhibitory activities of the compounds on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), tyrosinase and α-glucosidase were evaluated. Compounds 13, 16 and 18 exhibited comparable AChE inhibitory activities to the positive control huperzine A, with the IC50 values of 0.046, 0.048, and 0.057 mg/mL, respectively.

description: Wavelets are closely related to the Schrödinger's wave functions and the interpretation of Born. Similarly to the appearance of atomic orbital, it is proposed to combine anti-symmetric wavelets into orbital wavelets. The proposed approach allows the increase of the dimension of wavelets through this process. New orbital 2D-wavelets are introduced for the decomposition of still images, showing that it is possible to perform an analysis simultaneous in two distinct scales. An example of such an image analysis is shown.

description: Using equivalencies between different models we reduce the model of two spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains crossed at one point to the model of free fermions. The spin-spin correlation function is calculated by summing the perturbation series in the interchain coupling. The result reveals a power law decay with a nonuniversal exponent.

description: Using a national survey of U.S farm households, this paper investigates the interrelationship among the decisions to work off the farm by the operator and the spouse, and participation in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). The effects of these three decisions on farm household income are also examined. By estimating a heteroscedastic household income function, we identify the effects of participating in these activities on the average level of farm household income and its variation within each sub-group of farms involved in the several combinations of activities. Our empirical results support the hypothesis that participation in the CRP and decisions to work off the farm by the operator and the spouse are made jointly rather than independently. The operators' decisions to work off the farm and to participate in CRP increase the mean level of the household income, while the spouses' decisions to work off the farm help decrease the variation in household income among households in that sub-group.

We present the analytical formulae for the differential widths of these decays, the numerical values of their integrated widths and check the duality relation that connects the decays $χ_{b0,2}\toψc\bar c$ with the two-particle decays $χ_{b0,2}\to J/ψ(c\bar c)$. We also study the possibility of observing the $χ_{b0,2}\to J/ψDD+X$ mode at Tevatron and LHC colliders.
