Exekutive Funktionen
Zyklus 2

description: Gut ausgebildete exekutive Funktionen, darunter zählen das Arbeitsgedächtnis, die Inhibition und die kognitive Flexibilität, sind entscheidend für den Lernerfolg. Diese können entweder durch unterstützende Massnahmen, direkte Vermittlung oder durch Spiel- und Übungsformen gefördert werden. In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wurden 45 Spiel- und Übungskarten zur Förderung der exekutiven Funktionen für den Zyklus 2 entwickelt, die mit einer dafür konzipierten kooperativen Lernmethode zum Einsatz kommen. Der Effekt der entwickelten Spiele und Übungen auf die exekutiven Funktionen wurde in der Praxis erforscht. Eine 5. und 6. Klasse setzten die Karten während 12 Wochen dreimal wöchentlich ein. Bei der Auswertung zeigten sich signifikant bessere Leistungen im Bereich der Inhibition und der kognitiven Flexibilität und teilweise Verbesserungen der Leistungen im Bereich des Arbeitsgedächtnisses.

description: We study the effect of decoherence on the sub-Planck scale structures of the vibrational wave packet of a molecule. The time evolution of these wave packets is investigated under the influence of a photonic or phononic environment. We determine the master equation describing the reduced dynamics of the wave-packet and analyze the sensitivity of the sub-Planck structures against decoherence in the case of a hydrogen iodide (HI) molecule.

title: Inheritance of Chaff Color, Head Shape, and Grain Texture in Wheat
Creators: name: Tingey, Delmar C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1924

description: The data presented in this thesis are the results obtained from a study of the F2 and F3 generations from a cross between the wheat varieties, Dicklow and Hard Federation. Toward the end of the summer of 1922 this problem was assigned to me by Professor George Stewart. The plants then growing in the field were in the F2 generation, the cross having been made in 1920 by Professor Stewart. The chief purpose of the cross was to improve the grain quality of spring-irrigated wheat by the application of Mendelian principles in such a way as to combine the high-yielding power of Dicklow with the good grain quality of Hard Federation. Before the data obtained in the cross are presented the history, description, and distribution of each parent will be given. This is followed by a brief review of the literature concerning inheritance of three characters in the wheat plant, viz., (1) chaff color, (2) head shape, and (3) grain texture.

Elegiac ascent : plotting a path through Propertius' poetic landscape
Creators: name: Berry, Michael
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis argues that Propertius' poetic development and growing Callimacheanism can be charted through a programmatic reading of his landscapes. It examines Propertius' evolution as a poet from the beginning of book two onwards as he begins to move away from the intensely personal poetry of book one on his journey to becoming the Roman Callimachus as he presents himself in book four. It focuses on four poems ‚Äö- 2.10, 3.1, 3.3 and 4.9 ‚Äö- and argues that the landscapes depicted therein reveal a poet continually re-evaluating the status of elegy and the hierarchy of genres and ever increasing in confidence as he engages and aligns more explicitly with Callimachean ideals. It shows that Propertius constructs and responds to programmatic landscapes in a more self-aware fashion than has previously been demonstrated with a greater level of complexity than has been observed.

description: We study a gravitational model with curvature-squared $R^2$ and curvature-quartic $R^4$ nonlinearities. The effective scalar degree of freedom $ϕ$ (scalaron) has a multi-valued potential $U(ϕ)$ consisting of a number of branches. These branches are fitted with each other in the branching and monotonic points. In the case of four-dimensional space-time, we show that the monotonic points are penetrable for scalaron while in the vicinity of the branching points scalaron has the bouncing behavior and cannot cross these points. Moreover, there are branching points where scalaron bounces an infinite number of times with decreasing amplitude and the Universe asymptotically approaches the de Sitter stage. Such accelerating behavior we call bouncing inflation. For this accelerating expansion there is no need for original potential $U(ϕ)$ to have a minimum or to check the slow-roll conditions. A necessary condition for such inflation is the existence of the branching points. This is a new type of inflation. We show that bouncing inflation takes place both in the Einstein and Brans-Dicke frames.

title: Inheritance in a Wheat Cross of Ridit X Utac
Creators: name: Dalley, C. Leland
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1931

description: Present-day plant breeding, on the foundation made many years ago, has achieved important scientific and economic results. By means of introductions and selections, superior strains such as Turkey and Kanred have been obtained. Through hybridization new combinations of characters result, combining desirable characters of different plant types in a single individual. In this program, wheat hybridization has occupied a worthy place.
Each year a number of wheat crosses are made at the Utah Experiment Station, the main purpose of which is to develop superior strains of wheat. Such an economic program is aided and hastened by studies in genetic behavior.
This paper reports such a genetic study of the inheritance of awns, spike density, and kernel color in a cross between Ridit and Utac wheat varieties.

description: The purpose of this paper is to set forth the purpose of wheat hybridization. To do this properly it is necessary to know the history of hybridization of plants. Also to know some of the workers in this field and the hybrids produced by them. In the work at the Experiment Stations the various experimenters have discovered many interesting facts which it is necessary to know and understand. To thoroughly comprehend the work it is also necessary to do the actual processes of the work and to carry the hybrid through several generations and eventually to the goal for which purpose the cross was made to attain.

description: We study adiabatic limits of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on a Calabi-Yau manifold which is the total space of a holomorphic fibration when the volume of the fibers goes to zero. By establishing some new a priori estimates for the relevant complex Monge-Ampere equation, we show that the Ricci-flat metrics collapse (away from the singular fibers) to a metric on the base of the fibration. This metric has Ricci curvature equal to a Weil-Petersson metric that measures the variation of complex structure of the Calabi-Yau fibers. This generalizes results of Gross-Wilson for K3 surfaces to higher dimensions.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1931

description: This paper is devoted principally to the presentation and discussion of the results obtained when certain contrasting characters were brought together in a wheat cross between Ridit and Sevier 59. this is one of the crosses made in an attempt to develop a wheat adapted to this region with the following desirable qualities: Bunt resistance, strong straw, hard kernels, and heavy yield. How near this ideal is approached in succeeding generations can be told only by extensive tests. The genetic study herein presented was made to hasten the time when some of the progeny of this cross may become of economic value.

description: In Stackelberg planning, a leader and a follower each choose a plan in the same planning task, the leader's objective being to maximize plan cost for the follower. This formulation naturally captures, among others, security-related scenarios where the leader defends an infrastructure against subsequent attacks by the follower. Indeed, Stackelberg planning has been applied to the analysis of email infrastructure security. At web scale, however, the planning tasks involved easily contain tens of thousands of objects, so that grounding becomes the bottleneck. Here we introduce a lifted form of Stackelberg planning to address this. We devise leader-follower search algorithms working at the level of the PDDL-style input model to the extent possible. Our experiments show that, in Stackelberg tasks with many objects, including in particular models of web infrastructure security, our lifted algorithms outperform grounded Stackelberg planning.

Our results show that quantum gravity leads to contributions to the running coupling constants if the particles are massive and therefore alters the scaling behavior of the Standard Model. Furthermore, we find that the gravitational contributions to the running of the masses vanish.

Geology of the Upper Triassic Nicola group in south central British Columbia
Creators: name: Schau, Mikkel Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The rocks of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group represent the altered broken remnants of a volcanic island archipelago. About 23,000 feet of Upper Triassic sediments and volcanic rock are present in the thesis area. The group is the product of two cycles of deposition distinguishable on the basis of relative abundance of phenocrysts in the volcanic members. Rocks of the lower cycle (P), characterized by abundant feldspar phenocrysts, are separated into a lower, 6,000 foot thick assemblage of flows, breccias, and tuffs composed mainly of basaltic andesite; and an upper, heterogeneous, 8,000 foot thick assemblage composed of andesitic and rarer basaltic or dacitic agglomerates, breccias, tuffs, flows, and associated sediments as well as coral reef bodies. Rocks of the upper cycle (A), characterized by abundant augite phenocrysts, are separated into a lower assemblage about 7,500 feet thick composed of flows, breccias, tuff, and greywacke with rare limestone; and an upper assemblage about 1,600 feet thick composed of tuff, argillites, and cherts. During the Lower Jurassic, the group was gently folded, variably fractured, and intruded by a sequence of plutons culminating in the near-surface emplacement of huge batholiths. Metamorphism and metasomatism associated with batholiths altered the rocks so that they are now composed of low-grade metamorphic mineral assemblages. By mid-Mesozoic time, the plutons were exposed and a conglomerate laid down. Faulting along previous zones of weakness affected area during late Mesozoic time. Eocene deposits formed in an environment of hills and swamps. By late Miocene, after some jostling of faults blocks, the main topographic features of the Interior Plateau were fixed. Subsequent outpouring of Plateau and Valley basalts as well as glacial erosion and deposits have only mildly affected the main topographic features. The Nicola Group provides a chapter on the evolution of the Cordillera. The relationships provide certain limits to events that occurred outside the thesis area. Equally, relationships within the thesis area cannot all be answered without reference to larger areas.
title: A Study of Size Inheritance in Wheat
Creators: name: Nelson, Peter
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1924

description: The results presented in this paper are from data accumulated by a study of the F3 generation of a cross between the two varieties, Sevier and New Zealand wheat. This cross was made during the summer of 1920 by Professor George Stewart with the object of combining the high-yielding power of Sevier with the strong straw of New Zealand. In the fall of 1922 the problem was assigned to me, at which time I selected about 150 superior plants, possessing the desired characteristics, at least so far as appearance was concerned. Since then these plants and the F3 generation have been studied mainly with the object of finding out whether size characters behave in Mendelian fashion or not. Other characters received attention incidentally, and will also be reported briefly.
To study a variable problem with any degree of accuracy there must of necessity be a definite means by which variations may be measured. Size differences in straw are extremely difficult of measurement, and measurements at best can only be approximations. It was decided, therefore, to make a careful study of size variations in wheat heads, and only estimate straw strength.
The study of this problem is valuable for two main reasons:
1. If high-yielding power and straw strength can be combined from two different varieties it is worth knowing because of the economic value of such a combination. From this point of view the original object of the cross under discussion itself justifies the investigation.
2. Since it is not a definitely settled question as to whether heritable size fluctuations behave according to the principles of Mendelism the problem has both interest and value from the point of view of genetics.
Black Hole Spin and the Radio Loud/Quiet Dichotomy of Active Galactic Nuclei

description: Radio loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) are on average 1000 times brighter in the radio band compared to radio quiet AGN. We investigate whether this radio loud/quiet dichotomy can be due to differences in the spin of the central black holes that power the radio-emitting jets. Using general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we construct steady state axisymmetric numerical models for a wide range of black hole spins (dimensionless spin parameter 0.1 <= a <= 0.9999 and a variety of jet geometries. We assume that the total magnetic flux through the black hole horizon at radius r_H(a) is held constant. If the black hole is surrounded by a thin accretion disk, we find that the total black hole power output depends approximately quadratically on the angular frequency of the hole, P \propto Ω_H^2 \propto (a/r_H)^2. We conclude that, in this scenario, differences in the black hole spin can produce power variations of only a few tens at most. However, if the disk is thick such that the jet subtends a narrow solid angle around the polar axis, then the power dependence becomes much steeper, P \propto Ω_H^4 or even \propto Ω_H^6. Power variations of 1000 are then possible for realistic black hole spin distributions. We derive an analytic solution that accurately reproduces the steeper scaling of jet power with Ω_H, and we provide a numerical fitting formula that reproduces all our simulation results. We discuss other physical effects that might contribute to the observed radio loud/quiet dichotomy of AGN.

description: Lignocellulosic biomass from agricultural residues is a promising feedstock for lactic acid (LA) production. The aim of the current study was to investigate the production of LA from different lignocellulosic biomass. The LA production from banana peduncles using strain Bacillus coagulans with yeast extract resulted in 26.6 g LA·L-1, and yield of 0.90 g LA·g-1 sugars. The sugarcane fermentation with yeast extract resulted in 46.5 g LA·L-1, and yield of 0.88 g LA·g-1 sugars. Carob showed that addition of yeast extract resulted in higher productivity of 3.2 g LA·L-1·h-1 compared to without yeast extract where1.95 g LA·L-1·h-1 was obtained. Interestingly, similar LA production was obtained by the end where 54.8 and 51.4 g·L-1 were obtained with and without yeast extract, respectively. A pilot scale of 35 L using carob biomass fermentation without yeast extract resulted in yield of 0.84 g LA·g-1 sugars, and productivity of 2.30 g LA·L-1·h-1 which indicate a very promising process for future industrial production of LA.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1926

description: Since the rediscovery of Mendel's law in 1900, there have been many studies of inheritance in wheat. Of these rather numerous investigations, however, only a few have consisted of correlated studies of various characters on the same plant.
Inheritance of awns and of spike density have received some attention but the studies have hardly more than indicated the problem. Both have been thought by some to be rather simple in their inheritance, and in some crosses without doubt such is the case, but lately there has come a recognition of considerable complexity.
Density. As here used, "density" refers to compactness of the spike. Compact spikes have short rachis internodes and the spikelets are close together. Such

description: Diluted magnetic ZnCoO films with 5 at.% Co have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition on c-plane sapphire substrates and Schottky and Ohmic contacts have been prepared in top-top configuration. The diode current is significantly reduced after the diode has been subjected to an external magnetic field. In the reverse bias range the corresponding positive magnetoresistance is persistent and amounts to more than 1800% (50 K), 240% (30 K), and 50% (5 K). This huge magnetoresistance can be attributed to the large internal magnetic field in depleted ZnCoO with ferromagnetic exchange between stable bound magnetic polarons.

These states reveal in an intuitive way properties such as short-range order which may be hidden in correlation functions. An algorithm is presented which, when used with the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), is faster by a factor of $10^3 - 10^{10}$ than previous heat-bath approaches for thermally averaged quantities.

description: The age distribution of star clusters in nearby galaxies plays a crucial role in evaluating the lifetimes and disruption mechanisms of the clusters. Two very different results have been found recently for the age distribution chi(t) of clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We found that chi(t) can be described approximately by a power law chi(t) propto t^{gamma}, with gamma -0.8, by counting clusters in the mass-age plane, i.e., by constructing chi(t) directly from mass-limited samples. Gieles & Bastian inferred a value of gamma~, based on the slope of the relation between the maximum mass of clusters in equal intervals of log t, hereafter the M_max method, an indirect technique that requires additional assumptions about the upper end of the mass function. However, our own analysis shows that the M_max method gives a result consistent with our direct counting method for clusters in the LMC, namely chi(t) propto t^-0.8 for t<10^9 yr. The reason for the apparent discrepancy is that our analysis includes many massive (M>1.5x10^3 M_sol), recently formed (t<10^7 yr) clusters, which are known to exist in the LMC, whereas Gieles & Bastian are missing such clusters. We compile recent results from the literature showing that the age distribution of young star clusters in more than a dozen galaxies, including dwarf and giant galaxies, isolated and interacting galaxies, irregular and spiral galaxies, has a similar declining shape. We interpret this approximately "universal" shape as due primarily to the progressive disruption of star clusters over their first ~few x 10^8 yr, starting soon after formation, and discuss some observational and physical implications of this early disruption for stellar populations in galaxies.

Politicisation of the Australian public service: Social and environmental issues
Creators: name: Reid, ME
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The expectation that the Australian Public Service (APS) is an ethical, values-driven institution providing impartial advice to ministers while acting in the public interest is enduring, and under a Westminster framework is fundamental to democracy. However, a more politicised public service resulting from public service reforms has challenged this notion in practice. While the principles and functions of the APS have been clearly set out in the Public Service Act and the Public Service Values, the informal concept of 'frank and fearless advice' is still regarded as a powerful term of reference by public servants and the general public. However, during the Howard government's term of office between 1996-2007, several incidents that generated claims of politicisation raised concerns about the lack of frank and fearless policy advice expressed in practice by the APS. Public sector reform undertaken since the 1970s has had a crucial impact on the way the public service is structured, and therefore has had a significant impact on the policy-making role of the APS and the ability of the public service to solve or even manage wicked problems such as social and environmental issues. The primary aim of this thesis is to gain some insight into the concept of the politicisation of the APS in order to identify its effect on social and environmental issues. From an historical institutionalist perspective, and using critical analysis with interviews as secondary research, this thesis focuses on the possibility of the politicisation of public service advice for wicked problems such as social and environmental issues that were often placed as secondary to the focus of the Howard government on economic and security issues. Two case studies have been analysed in this thesis; poverty as a social issue and water as an environmental issue. It is concluded that an enduring problem with both poverty and water are political priorities, which are difficult to change. Notwithstanding political considerations, the necessity for an apolitical public service is essential in contemporary Australia in order to ensure the public interest, equity and continued democracy when providing policy advice to government.
title: Inheritance of Awns in a Cross Between Hard Federation and Kota Wheats
Creators: name: Judd, B. Ira
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1928

description: During the past few years there have been numerous studies made of various characters in wheat. Some characters which were thought at first to be simple in inheritance have since been found to be rather complex.
The data in the following pages are the results of an investigation made to study the inheritance of awns in a cross between Hard Federation and Kota varieties of wheat.
Until the last few years awn inheritance in wheat has been regarded as extremely simple, that is, as being dependent on a single factor difference. The awns of the F1 plants have nearly always been intermediate in length between the awns of the two parents with the F2 ratios 3:1 or 1:2:1, awnlessness usually being regarded as dominant. Recently, however, it has become apparent that the inheritance of awns is much more complex than the original data indicated. Several workers have found two independent factors and one has found two factors segregating in such a fashion as strongly to suggest linkage between these two factors.

description: The LIMBIC Military and Tactical Athletic Research Study (MATARS) framework was established to confirm and extend understanding of concussion with initial studies driven by clinical data collected between 2015 and 2020 in a collegiate sports setting. The LIMBIC MATARS framework will be leveraged to apply gold-standard and innovative research designs to advance the science of concussion. This manuscript provides the background, methodology, and initial demographic data associated with the LIMBIC MATARS. Consensus-based common data elements were used to conduct a retrospective chart review, specific to collegiate athletes diagnosed with concussions between 2015 and 2020 at 11 universities. A final sample of 1,311 (47.8% female) concussions were diagnosed during the five-year study period from athletes participating in a variety of National Collegiate Athlete Association (NCAA) sports. The LIMBIC MATARS demographic data, align with the NCAA and other pioneering multi-site concussion-related studies in terms of biological sex, race and ethnicity, and sport participation. This pragmatic, methodological approach was used to address several a priori hypotheses related to concussion, align with other multi-site studies of concussion, and establish a consortium for future investigations.

description: We construct the classical action of the Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena (ABJM) model in the N=3, d=3 harmonic superspace. In such a formulation three out of six supersymmetries are realized off shell while the other three mix the superfields and close on shell. The superfield action involves two hypermultiplet superfields in the bifundamental representation of the gauge group and two Chern-Simons gauge superfields corresponding to the left and right gauge groups. The N=3 superconformal invariance allows only for a minimal gauge interaction of the hypermultiplets. Amazingly, the correct sextic scalar potential of ABJM emerges after the elimination of auxiliary fields. Besides the original U(N)xU(N) ABJM model, we also construct N=3 superfield formulations of some generalizations. For the SU(2)xSU(2) case we give a simple superfield proof of its enhanced N=8 supersymmetry and SO(8) R-symmetry.

description: We resolve black hole information paradox within semiclassical gravity, in a manner that does not depend on details of unknown quantum gravity. Our crucial insight is that outgoing Hawking particles are physical only far from the black hole horizon, so they are created far from the horizon and entangled with degrees of freedom closer to the horizon. The latter degrees of freedom can be understood as quasi-classical coherent states, implying that Hawking radiation is accompanied with additional radiation similar to classical radiation by which the black hole loses hair during the classical gravitational collapse. The two kinds of radiation are entangled, which resolves black hole information paradox.

We have also analyzed both the number of lightning flashes measured by the Optical Transient Detector (OTD) onboard the MicroLab-1 satellite for the period April 1995 - March 2000 and ground-based thunderstorm data collected from 78 widespread Indian observatories for the same period to show that the MIL amplitude and thunderstorm activity are correlated. All the data sets examined exhibit a semiannual variation. The seasonal variation of MIL amplitude and the frequency of occurrence of the temperature inversion indicate a fairly good correlation with the seasonal variation of thunderstorms and the average ozone volume mixing ratio across the inversion layer. The observed correlation between local thunderstorm activity, MIL amplitude and mesospheric ozone volume mixing ratio are explained by the generation, upward propagation and mesospheric absorption of gravity waves produced by thunderstorms.

description: We consider parton showers based on radiation from QCD dipoles or `antennae'. These showers are built from 2->3 parton splitting processes. The question then arises of what functions replace the Altarelli-Parisi splitting functions in this approach. We give a detailed answer to this question, applicable to antenna showers in which partons carry definite helicity, and to both initial- and final-state emissions.

title: Interaction of the Human Serine Protease Inhibitor Alpha-1-antitrypsin with Cryptosporidium parvum
Creators: name: Forney, John Russell
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1997

description: The human serine protease inhibitor (serpin) alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) was studied for potential interaction with components of the protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium parvum. A homogenate prepared from C. parvum oocysts was incubated with purified human AAT, and complexes formed between the serpin and components of the homogenate were detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Serpin:parasite infections were effectively blocked by preincubating AAT with a cognate target enzyme, porcine pancreatic elastase, prior to performing the ELISA on the homogenate. Incubation of a mixture of C. parvum oocysts and sporozoites with AAT demonstrated preferential fluorescence labeling of the sporozoite surface membrane by indirect immunofluorescence assay. Localization of serpin complexes on sporozoites was confirmed by immunogold electron microscopy.
AAT was evaluated for in vitro anticryptosporidial activity in a bovine fallopian tube epithelial (BFTE) cell culture system using both oocysts and filter purified sporozoites as inocula. Serial dilutions of AAT were mixed with oocysts (or sporozites) and used to inoculate BFTE cell monolayers. Inoculted cells were maintained at 37ºC/5% CO2and collected at 24-,48-,72-, and 96-hr post-inoculation intervals. The addition of AAT and other select protease inhibitors (i.e.,antipain, aprotinin, leupeptin, soybean trypsin inhibitor, and phenylmethylsulfonyl floride) significantly inhibited parasite infection (P
The anticryptosporidial activity of AAT is postulated to be linked to an antagonistic effect on oocyst excystation and, putatively, the forced expenditure of bioenergetic reserves prior to host cell invasion. This postulate was supported by the observations that serpin activity had no statistically significant effect on reducing established in vitro infections (i.e., 24 hr post-inoculation prior to addition of AAT) and did not inhibit infection of BFTE cells when inoculted with sporozoite preparations. The combined application of AAT and the aminoglycoside paromomycin demonstrated a synergistic anticryptosporidial effect on in vitro infection and suggested the basis for a multi-agent therapeutic protocol in preventing cryptosporidosis. These studies collectively demonstrated an inticryptosporidial potential for serine protease inhibitors, in particular for AAT, and suggest an alternative approach to conventional therapeutic strategies.
Radiative corrections to the neutral-current Drell-Yan process in the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension

description: An adequate description of the neutral-current Drell-Yan process at the Tevatron and the LHC, in particular, requires the inclusion of electroweak radiative corrections. We extend earlier work in this direction in various ways. First, we define and numerically compare different methods to describe the Z-boson resonance including next-to-leading order electroweak corrections; moreover, we provide explicit analytical expressions for those. Second, we pay particular attention to contributions from photon-photon and photon-quark collisions, which involve photons in the initial state, and work out how their impact can be enhanced by selection cuts. Third, we supplement the O(α) corrections by universal electroweak effects of higher order, such as universal two-loop contributions from Δαand Δρ, and the leading two-loop corrections in the high-energy Sudakov regime as well as multi-photon radiation off muons in the structure-function approach. Finally, we present results on the complete next-to-leading order electroweak and QCD corrections within the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model.

Women in Papua New Guinea's village courts

description: Recently, claims have been made in academic literature that women are disadvantaged, or mistreated, in Papua New Guineas village courts. These claims have the common theme that the male-dominated courts, particularly in the highlands, apply custom or customary law which discriminates against women. Reviewing research-based studies, other literature and my own research findings, I suggest herein that, to the contrary, village courts are an important resource for aggrieved women with limited avenues for seeking justice and recompense. Village courts in PNG were established by the Village Courts Act of 1973, at the end of the colonial era. The legislation provided for magistrates, untrained in law, to be selected by the local community on the criteria of their integrity as adjudicators and good knowledge of local customs (Village Court Secretariat 1975: 1). Despite overwhelming support among Melanesian parliamentarians and progressive legal advisers for the establishment of village courts, there were fears among conservative jurists and other Europeans that these courts would be legally or otherwise corrupt and that village court officials ignorance of the law would result in the application of anachronistic customs. Consequently, when village courts began to be proclaimed in 1975 after a trial period, they became the focus of European officials who were anxious to observe their practice. Some of the first village courts proclaimed were in the Mendi district of the Southern Highlands, and these were almost immediately visited by concerned European officials.

Superconductivity without Fe or Ni in the phosphides BaIr2P2 and BaRh2P2

description: Heat capacity, resistivity, and magnetic susceptibility measurements confirm bulk superconductivity in single crystals of BaIr$_2$P$_2$ (T$_c$=2.1K) and BaRh$_2$P$_2$ (T$_c$ = 1.0 K). These compounds form in the ThCr$_2$Si$_2$ (122) structure so they are isostructural to both the Ni and Fe pnictides but not isoelectronic to either of them. This illustrates the importance of structure for the occurrence of superconductivity in the 122 pnictides. Additionally, a comparison between these and other ternary phosphide superconductors suggests that the lack of interlayer $P-P$ bonding favors superconductivity. These stoichiometric and ambient pressure superconductors offer an ideal playground to investigate the role of structure for the mechanism of superconductivity in the absence of magnetism.

description: In dynamical systems, one may ask how long it takes for a trajectory to reach the attractor, i.e. how long it spends in the transient phase. Although for a single trajectory the mathematically precise answer may be infinity, it still makes sense to compare different trajectories and quantify which of them approaches the attractor earlier. In this article, we categorize several problems of quantifying such transient times. To treat them, we propose two metrics, area under distance curve and regularized reaching time, that capture two complementary aspects of transient dynamics. The first, area under distance curve, is the distance of the trajectory to the attractor integrated over time. It measures which trajectories are 'reluctant', i.e. stay distant from the attractor for long, or 'eager' to approach it right away. Regularized reaching time, on the other hand, quantifies the additional time (positive or negative) that a trajectory starting at a chosen initial condition needs to approach the attractor as compared to some reference trajectory. A positive or negative value means that it approaches the attractor by this much 'earlier' or 'later' than the reference, respectively. We demonstrated their substantial potential for application with multiple paradigmatic examples uncovering new features.
