description: Using the spectacular new high redshift supernova observations from the HST/GOODS program and previous supernova, CMB and galaxy clustering data, we make the most accurate measurements to date of the dark energy density rho_X as a function of cosmic time, constraining it in a rather model-independent way, assuming a flat universe. We find that Einstein's vanilla scenario where rho_X(z) is constant remains consistent with these new tight constraints, and that a Big Crunch or Big Rip is more than 50 gigayears away for a broader class of models allowing such cataclysmic events. We discuss popular pitfalls and hidden priors: parametrizing the equation-of-state w_X(z) assumes positive dark energy density and no Big Crunch, and the popular parametrization w_X(z)=w_0 +w_0' z has nominally strong constraints from CMB merely because w_0' > 0 implies an unphysical exponential blow-up rho_X ~ e^{3 w_0' z}.

Subjects: subject: Computers and Society (cs.CY)

description: Mobile phone use is an unfolding process by nature. In this study, it is explicated as two sequential processes: mobile sessions composed of an uninterrupted set of behaviors and mobile trajectories composed of mobile sessions and mobile-off time. A dataset of a five-month behavioral logfile of mobile application use by approximately 2,500 users in Hong Kong is used. Mobile sessions are constructed and mined to uncover sequential characteristics and patterns in mobile phone use. Mobile trajectories are analyzed to examine intraindividual change and interindividual differences on mobile re-engagement as indicators of behavioral dynamics in mobile phone use. The study provides empirical support for and expands the boundaries of existing theories about combinatorial use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Finally, the understanding on mobile temporality is enhanced, that is, mobile temporality is homogeneous across social sectors. Furthermore, mobile phones redefine, rather than blur, the boundary between private and public time.

Astrophysical Jets and Outflows

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Highly collimated supersonic jets and less collimated outflows are observed to emerge from a wide variety of astrophysical objects. They are seen in young stellar objects (YSOs), proto-planetary nebulae, compact objects (like galactic black holes or microquasars, and X-ray binary stars), and in the nuclei of active galaxies (AGNs). Despite their different physical scales (in size, velocity, and amount of energy transported), they have strong morphological similarities. What physics do they share? These systems either hydrodynamic or magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) in nature and are, as such, governed by non-linear equations. While theoretical models helped us to understand the basic physics of these objects, numerical simulations have been allowing us to go beyond the one-dimensional, steady-state approach extracting vital information. In this lecture, the formation, structure, and evolution of the jets are reviewed with the help of observational information, MHD and purely hydrodynamical modeling, and numerical simulations. Possible applications of the models particularly to YSOs and AGN jets are addressed.

description: Wheat protein content has traditionally been reported on an "as-is" moisture basis by the U.S. wheat trade. In an effort to provide inspection results which are easier to evaluate and compare, the Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) began reporting protein content on a constant 12-percent moisture basis as of May 1, 1987. Nominal protein readings for either domestic or export wheat were not significantly affected at the national level. However, changes were more apparent at the State or local level. Although protein premiums should adjust to these changes and compensate the seller for real protein content, this adjustment was not apparent in all markets. Changes in nominal protein would not significantly change protein premiums for price support loans in many States because CCC premiums are changed on the basis of 0.5 percent.
Women on the tenure track : how the policies and practices of the University of British Columbia and Langara College may influence women

description: This scholarly paper explores the literature regarding women in higher education and the policies and practices that affect faculty women' s decision-making concerning motherhood. It explores some of the policies that impact faculty women in two settings, the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Langara College, both in Vancouver, Canada. The author of the paper is a student at UBC and an instructor at Langara. The paper presents various possibilities for further research on this topic and concludes that the institutions should consider offering more parental leave-time and the option of a part-time tenure track.

description: This paper sets out to investigate the representations of the Tallis house in Ian McEwan’s Atonement (2001). The Tallises’ country house, one of the main story settings, undergoes a significant transformation over time, assuming a different role and function in each part of the novel. Englishness, decadence, bucolic nostalgia and the idealised visions of England as a rural, pastoral idyll can be numbered among the ingredients that McEwan blends in the depiction of this mansion and of its surrounding estate: not only do they constitute an integral part of its foundations, but also of its evolution on both the fictional and historical levels, since they contribute to creating the myth that still characterises the famous stately homes of England.

description: In precision agriculture (PA), soil sampling and testing operation is prior to planting any new crop. It is an expensive operation since there are many soil characteristics to take into account. This paper gives an overview of soil characteristics and their relationships with crop yield and soil profiling. We propose an approach for predicting soil pH based on nearest neighbour fields. It implements spatial radius queries and various regression techniques in data mining. We use soil dataset containing about 4,000 fields profiles to evaluate them and analyse their robustness. A comparative study indicates that LR, SVR, and GBRT techniques achieved high accuracy, with the R_2 values of about 0.718 and MAE values of 0.29. The experimental results showed that the proposed approach is very promising and can contribute significantly to PA.

description: The effects of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 on farm sole proprietorships are examined in a tax accounting simulation model of over 15,000 farm tax returns. Tax liability for sole proprietorships is estimated to decline by 4.5 percent under tax reform. All farm types with the exception of the dairy sector experience net tax reductions under the new tax law. Taxpayers with high levels of farm business receipts will likely pay more in taxes under fully implemented tax reform. In general, lower marginal tax rates and generous expensing provisions will offset the repeal of the investment tax credit and capital gains preference. Taxpayers with high off-farm incomes receive little benefit from the new law.

description: We discuss the structure of the nuclear force using a lagrangian derived from hadronization of a chiral quark and diquark model. A generalized trace log formula including meson and nucleon fields is expanded to the order in which relevant terms emerge. It is shown that the nuclear force is composed of long and medium range parts of chiral meson exchanges and short range parts of quark-diquark exchanges. The ranges of the scalar and vector interactions coincide well with those of sigma ($σ$) and omega ($ω$) meson exchanges if the size of the nucleon core of a quark-diquark bound state is adjusted appropriately.

Searching for Rade Tanasijević’s «Quiet Places»

Subjects: Rade Tanasijević; contemporary Serbian poetry; village; city; utopia; quiet places;

description: «Постоје» (Tanasijević 2009, 64), «They exist», thus begins the poem Tiha mesta (Quiet Places) from the poetry collection Klimatske promene (2009, Climate Change) by Rade Tanasijević’s, later reprinted in his book Salon odbijenih (2014, Salon des refusés). This poem, however, would not be included in his books of new and selected poems Nestajanje (2013, Dwindling) and Stvari oko mene ubrzano stare (2020, The Things around Me Are Rapidly Aging) – at least not in the form it had in the earlier books. Instead, it would be condensed and transfigured into the title of one of the cycles of poems, which raises the question of whether the poet had lost faith in the existence of quiet places or whether he just wanted to expand and deepen this topic. Tanasijević often used the title of his poems for the title of the cycles of poems, which is especially noticeable in the selected and new poems (Tanasijević 2013; Tanasijević 2020). The poet, however, usually included the titular poem in the cycle itself – which (significantly) is not the case with the poem Tiha mesta. The basic premise of the following paper is that the poet’s quiet places, the idealistic and somewhat utopian spaces, are scattered around Tanasijević’s poetry and that they can be found, described and interpreted by close-reading all of his books of poems.

description: Federal drought relief has had an increasingly important role in the 20th century in contrast to earlier years when the Government assumed no responsibility. A variety of programs has been used, especially in the severe drought years of the 1930s, 1950s, and 1980s. Beginning in the 1930s, Federal aid emphasized emergency loans, purchases, and subsidies. Since 1974, the Government has often used direct disaster payment programs, which have greatly increased expenditures. Federal crop insurance, which has existed for, 50 years, has never played a major role, but proposals in the next farm bill may require participants in commodity programs to buy crop insurance.

description: Radio, millimetre and sub-millimetre astronomy experiments as well as remote sensing applications often require castable absorbers with well known electromagnetic properties to design and realize calibration targets. In this context, we fabricated and characterized two samples using different ratios of two easily commercially available materials: epoxy (Stycast 2850FT) and magnetite ($\mathrm{Fe_{3}O_{4}}$) powder. We performed transmission and reflection measurements from 7 GHz up to 170 GHz with a VNA equipped with a series of standard horn antennas. Using an empirical model we analysed the data to extract complex permittivity and permeability from transmission data; then we used reflection data to validate the results. In this paper we present the sample fabrication procedure, analysis method, parameter extraction pipeline, and results for two samples with different epoxy-powder mass ratios.

description: We obtain relations between partial-wave amplitudes for pi-N-->pi-N and pi-N-->pi-Delta directly from large N_c QCD. While linear relations among certain amplitudes holding at leading order (LO) in 1/N_c were derived in the context of chiral soliton models two decades ago, the present work employs a fully model-independent framework based on consistency with the large N_c expansion. At LO we reproduce the soliton model results; however, this method allows for systematic corrections. At next-to-leading order (NLO), most relations require additional unknown functions beyond those appearing at leading order (LO) and thus have little additional predictive power. However, three NLO relations for the pi-N-->pi-Delta reaction are independent of unknown functions and make predictions accurate at this order. The amplitudes relevant to two of these relations were previously extracted from experiment. These relations describe experiment dramatically better than their LO counterparts.

description: We introduce motivic zeta functions for matroids. These zeta functions are defined as sums over the lattice points of Bergman fans, and in the realizable case, they coincide with the motivic Igusa zeta functions of hyperplane arrangements. We show that these motivic zeta functions satisfy a functional equation arising from matroid Poincaré duality in the sense of Adiprasito-Huh-Katz. In the process, we obtain a formula for the Hilbert series of the cohomology ring of a matroid, in the sense of Feichtner-Yuzvinsky. We then show that our motivic zeta functions specialize to the topological zeta functions for matroids introduced by van der Veer, and we compute the first two coefficients in the Taylor expansion of these topological zeta functions, providing affirmative answers to two questions posed by van der Veer.

«Not A Coming Or A Going At All». Looking for Home in Amitav Ghosh’s «The Shadow Lines»
Creators: name: Polatti, Alessia

Year: 2021
Subjects: Amitav Gosh; time; space; history; borders; home

description: The article considers the complexity of the concept of “home” in Amitav Ghosh’s novel The Shadow Lines (1988). I will examine how matters of migration and homesickness intersect a contemporary idea of a global borderless space, as well as the interrelationships and the exchangeability among topics like border, space, and home in Ghosh’s work. I will demonstrate that different characters of the novel correspondingly embody different ways of perceiving home and themes of crossing-borders: the narrator’s grandmother Tha’mma is the fictional representation of an ancient conceptualisation of borders and geo-localisation, while the narrator himself and his uncle Tridib are emblems of an innovative perception of space. Also, the relationships between characters consequently produce an idea of home in movement. This may lead to a significant change in the ancestral perception of home seen as a supportive milestone for human life: borders, space, and home are exploited by Ghosh in a sort of unceasing circle in which each element influences and completes the others. After all, the task that primarily concerns Ghosh is, as well, «not how to arrive, but how to move, how to identify convergent and divergent movements; and the challenge would be how to locate such events, how to give them a social and historical value» (Carter 1992, 101).

description: The widespread availability of search API's (both free and commercial) brings the promise of increased coverage and quality of search results for metasearch engines, while decreasing the maintenance costs of the crawling and indexing infrastructures. However, merging strategies frequently comprise complex pipelines that require careful tuning, which is often overlooked in the literature. In this work, we describe NeuralSearchX, a metasearch engine based on a multi-purpose large reranking model to merge results and highlight sentences. Due to the homogeneity of our architecture, we could focus our optimization efforts on a single component. We compare our system with Microsoft's Biomedical Search and show that our design choices led to a much cost-effective system with competitive QPS while having close to state-of-the-art results on a wide range of public benchmarks. Human evaluation on two domain-specific tasks shows that our retrieval system outperformed Google API by a large margin in terms of nDCG@10 scores. By describing our architecture and implementation in detail, we hope that the community will build on our design choices. The system is available at https://neuralsearchx.nsx.ai.

description: Higher variability in rainfall and river discharge could be of major importance in landslide generation in the north-western Argentine Andes. Annual layered (varved) deposits of a landslide dammed lake in the Santa Maria Basin (26 deg S, 66 deg W) with an age of 30,000 14C years provide an archive of precipitation variability during this time. The comparison of these data with present-day rainfall observations tests the hypothesis that increased rainfall variability played a major role in landslide generation. A potential cause of such variability is the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The causal link between ENSO and local rainfall is quantified by using a new method of nonlinear data analysis, the quantitative analysis of cross recurrence plots (CRP). This method seeks similarities in the dynamics of two different processes, such as an ocean-atmosphere oscillation and local rainfall. Our analysis reveals significant similarities in the statistics of both modern and palaeo-precipitation data. The similarities in the data suggest that an ENSO-like influence on local rainfall was present at around 30,000 14C years ago. Increased rainfall, which was inferred from a lake balance modeling in a previous study, together with ENSO-like cyclicities could help to explain the clustering of landslides at around 30,000 14C years ago.

description: The quantum phase diagram and critical behavior of two-dimensional Dirac fermions coupled to two compatible order-parameter fields with $O(N_1)\oplus O(N_2)$ symmetry is investigated. Recent numerical studies of such systems have reported evidence for non-Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson transitions and emergent $O(N_1+N_2)$ symmetry between the two ordered states, which has been interpreted within a scenario of deconfined quantum criticality in (2+1)-dimensional Dirac materials. Here, we provide two theoretical approaches to refine the phase diagrams of such systems. In the immediate vicinity of the multicritical point between the ordered phases and the semimetallic phase, we employ a non-perturbative field-theoretical analysis based on the functional renormalization group. For the particular case of $N_1=3$, $N_2=1$, we perform a large-scale quantum Monte Carlo analysis of the strong-coupling region, where both orders meet. Our findings support the robust emergence of enhanced symmetry at the multicritical point and suggest the transition between the two ordered phases to take place via a sequence of continuous transitions. In particular, we find that intermediate regimes of coexistence are present in the phase diagram for all values of $N_1$ and $N_2$.

description: Semi-classical molecular dynamics simulations of small rare gas clusters in short laser pulses of 100 nm wavelength were performed. For comparison, the cluster response to 800 nm laser pulses was investigated as well. The inner ionization dynamics of the multi-electron atoms inside the cluster was treated explicitly. The simulation results underpin that at XUV wavelengths collisions play an important role in the energy absorption. The generation of the surprisingly high charge states of Xe atoms inside clusters, as they were observed in the free-electron laser experiment at DESY, Hamburg, Germany [Wabnitz et al., Nature 420, 482 (2002)], is due to the reduced ionization potential of atoms inside charged clusters, the ionization ignition mechanism, and collisions.

description: In November 2019 the Russian rap group Kasta released the song Our Russian Anthem (Naš gimn Rossii). The song was introduced by a direct invitation to President Putin to consider the song as an alternative to the current national anthem. The analysis, summarizing the «national anthem crisis» Russia went through in the year 2000, indicates that Kasta’s song, similarly to other unofficial anthems, questions the traditional didactic structure of anthems, and carves out agency in the self-imagining of the nation.

description: Molecular bridges covalently bonded to two ferromagnetic electrodes can transform ferromagnetic materials and produce intriguing spin transport characteristics. This paper discusses the impact of molecule induced strong coupling on spin transport. To study the molecular coupling effect organometallic molecular complex (OMC) was bridged between two ferromagnetic electrodes of a magnetic tunnel junction (Ta/Co/NiFe/AlOx/NiFe/Ta) along the exposed side edges. OMCs induced strong iter-ferromagnetic electrode coupling to yield drastic changes in transport properties of the magnetic tunnel junction testbed at the room temperature. These OMCs also transformed the magnetic properties of magnetic tunnel junctions. SQUID and ferromagnetic resonance studies provided insightful data to explain transport studies on the magnetic tunnel junction based molecular spintronics devices.

Navigating through educational organizations in learning assistance services : a personal narrative of a learning assistance teacher in an independent school system in British Columbia
Creators: name: Watanabe, Yuri
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of the following study is to document some of my experiences as a learning assistance teacher in two distinctly different communities within the Catholic Independent Schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese or CISVA. In documenting my experiences which took place over the course of five years, I hope to raise awareness of the structural issues that impacted my work with various students identified as requiring learning assistance services. By identifying, describing, studying, and reflecting on these factors, it may be possible to offer recommendations that may expand how learning assistance services are provided within the CISVA.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Current-driven skyrmion motion in granular films

description: Current-driven skyrmion motion in random granular films is investigated with interesting findings. For a given current, there exists a critical disorder strength below which its transverse motion could either be boosted below a critical damping or be hindered above the critical damping, resulting in current and disorder dependences of skyrmion Hall angle. The boosting comes mainly from the random force that is opposite to the driving force (current). The critical damping depends on the current density and disorder strength. However, the longitudinal motion of a skyrmion is always hindered by the disorder. Above the critical disorder strength, skyrmions are pinned. The disorder-induced random force on a skyrmion can be classified as static and kinetic ones, similar to the friction force in the Newtonian mechanics. In the pinning phase, the static (pinning) random force is transverse to the current density. The kinetic random force is opposite to the skyrmion velocity when skyrmions are in motion. Furthermore, we provide strong evidences that the Thiele equation can perfectly describe skyrmion dynamics in granular films. These findings provide insight to skyrmion motion and should be important for skyrmiontronics.

description: We calculate the transverse momentum distribution of low-mass Drell-Yan pairs in QCD perturbation theory with all-order resummation. We demonstrate that the transverse momentum distribution of low-mass Drell-Yan pairs is an advantageous source of constraints on the gluon distribution and its nuclear dependence. With the reduction in background, we argue that low-mass Drell-Yan pairs in the forward region provide a good and clean probe of small-x gluons at RHIC and LHC.

description: Dirac-electronic tunneling and nonlinear transport properties with both finite and zero energy bandgap are investigated for graphene with a tilted potential barrier under a bias. For validation, results from a finite-difference based numerical approach, which is developed for calculating transmission and reflection coefficients with a dynamically-tunable (time-dependent bias field) barrier-potential profile, are compared with those of both an analytical model for a static square-potential barrier and a perturbation theory using Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation. For a biased barrier, both transmission coefficient and tunneling resistance are computed and analyzed, indicating a full control of the peak in tunneling resistance by bias field for a tilted barrier, gate voltage for barrier height, and energy for incoming electrons. Moreover, a finite energy gap in graphene is found to suppress head-on transmission as well as skew transmission with a large transverse momentum. For a gapless graphene, on the other hand, filtering of Dirac electrons outside of normal incidence is found and can be used for designing electronic lenses. All these predicted attractive transport properties are expected extremely useful for the development of novel electronic and optical graphene-based devices.

description: The stated intent of Section 32 of the Agriculture Act of 1935 is to enhance and stabilize farm prices of agricultural commodities designated as surplus. OLS and two-stage least squares models were -tonstructed to estimate the effect of Federal purchases under Section 32 on the real farm price of three commodities. The results for all three commodities suggest Section 32 purchases have an insignificant effect on real farm price.

description: Continuum robots have the potential to enable new applications in medicine, inspection, and countless other areas due to their unique shape, compliance, and size. Excellent progess has been made in the mechanical design and dynamic modelling of continuum robots, to the point that there are some canonical designs, although new concepts continue to be explored. In this paper, we turn to the problem of state estimation for continuum robots that can been modelled with the common Cosserat rod model. Sensing for continuum robots might comprise external camera observations, embedded tracking coils or strain gauges. We repurpose a Gaussian process (GP) regression approach to state estimation, initially developed for continuous-time trajectory estimation in $SE(3)$. In our case, the continuous variable is not time but arclength and we show how to estimate the continuous shape (and strain) of the robot (along with associated uncertainties) given discrete, noisy measurements of both pose and strain along the length. We demonstrate our approach quantitatively through simulations as well as through experiments. Our evaluations show that accurate and continuous estimates of a continuum robot's shape can be achieved, resulting in average end-effector errors between the estimated and ground truth shape as low as 3.5mm and 0.016$^\circ$ in simulation or 3.3mm and 0.035$^\circ$ for unloaded configurations and 6.2mm and 0.041$^\circ$ for loaded ones during experiments, when using discrete pose measurements.

description: Electronic trading is expected to result in net prices which are more favorable to producer sellers and/or buyers of agricultural products than those generated in traditional trading systems. Lower transaction costs and reduction of market power imbalances account for the difference in net prices. Review of the evidence from actual electronic trading supports these hypotheses. The importance of balanced information availability and effective loss of power by one side of the market due to electronic trading suggests that the move to greater use of such systems must come from agricultural producers.
