description: We study the quantum corrections on the Szekeres system in the context of canonical quantization in the presence of symmetries. We start from an effective point-like Lagrangian with two integrals of motion, one corresponding to the Hamiltonian and the other to a second rank Killing tensor. Imposing their quantum version on the wave function results to a solution which is then interpreted in the context of Bohmian mechanics. In this semiclassical approach, it is shown that there is no quantum corrections, thus the classical trajectories of the Szekeres system are not affected at this level. Finally, we define a probability function which shows that a stationary surface of the probability corresponds to a classical exact solution

description: Successful management of incidents that threaten an organizations computer security is a complex endeavor. Frequently an organizations primary focus on the response aspects of security incidents results in its failure to manage incidents beyond simply reacting to threatening events. The metrics presented in this document are intended to provide a baseline or benchmark of incident management practices. The incident management functions—provided in a series of questions and indicators—define the actual benchmark. The questions explore different aspects of incident management activities for protecting, defending, and sustaining an organizations computing environment in addition to conducting appropriate response actions. This benchmark can be used by an organization to assess how its current incident management capability is defined, managed, measured, and improved. This will help assure the system owners, data owners, and operators that their incident management services are being delivered with a high standard of quality and success, and within acceptable levels of risk.

description: We consider the effect of the Gibbons-Hawking radiation on the inflaton in the situation where it is coupled to a large number of spectator fields. We argue that this will lead to two important effects - a thermal contribution to the potential and a gradual change in parameters in the Lagrangian which results from thermodynamic and energy conservation arguments. We present a scenario of hilltop inflation where the field starts trapped at the origin before slowly experiencing a phase transition during which the field extremely slowly moves towards its zero temperature expectation value. We show that it is possible to obtain enough e-folds of expansion as well as the correct spectrum of perturbations without hugely fine-tuned parameters in the potential (albeit with many spectator fields). We also comment on how initial conditions for inflation can arise naturally in this situation.

HIV Elite Controllers – the Issue at Heart
Creators: name: Cadieux, Agnes

Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: Background: People with HIV are living longer, and as this population ages, chronic diseases associated with ageing, such as cardiovascular disease, will become of great importance (3). Elite controllers (EC) are a small subset of the HIV population, who maintain viral suppression below the limit of detection in the absence of antiretroviral therapy. Despite non-medical viral control and the absence of HIV-related opportunistic infection, there is concern that their protective immune activation places them at greater risk for coronary atherosclerosis, compared to their medically controlled viremic counterparts (1). Objective: To summarize literature in a systematic fashion to collect evidence pointing to an association between elite controller status and increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis. Methods: A structured literature review was conducted using three databases: Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science. The findings were restricted to journal articles and reviews published from 2005-2016. Keywords used for the search were “elite” AND “controller” AND “coronary” OR “cardio”. A total of 4 articles were selected based on the keywords. Article references were screened to include two more articles. The references from those were screened for a total of 6 articles meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Upon review of the articles, two supported the claim that ECs have a higher risk of coronary atherosclerosis than medically controlled HIV viremic patients, one shows no association. Three articles were inconclusive, two because of mixing of results for ECs with viremic controllers (another subpopulation of HIV patients) and one requiring further follow-up. Conclusion: The findings suggest that there may be an association between HIV EC status and an increased risk of coronary athero-sclerosis compared to medically controlled HIV patients, however, further studies are required in order to confirm this association.

description: The detection of fluorescence with submolecular resolution enables the exploration of spatially varying photon yields and vibronic properties at the single-molecule level. By placing individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules into the plasmon cavity formed by the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope and a NaCl-covered Ag(111) surface, molecular light emission spectra are obtained that unravel vibrational progression. In addition, light spectra unveil a signature of the molecule even when the tunneling current is injected well separated from the molecular emitter. This signature exhibits a distance-dependent Fano profile that reflects the subtle interplay between inelastic tunneling electrons, the molecular exciton and localized plasmons in at-distance as well as on-molecule fluorescence. The presented findings open the path to luminescence of a different class of molecules than investigated before and contribute to the understanding of single-molecule luminescence at surfaces in a unified picture.

description: Independence-friendly logic is a conservative extension of first-order logic that has the same expressive power as existential second-order logic. In her Ph.D. thesis, Dechesne introduces a variant of independence-friendly logic called IFG logic. We attempt to algebraize IFG logic in the same way that Boolean algebra is the algebra of propositional logic and cylindric algebra is the algebra of first-order logic. We define independence-friendly cylindric set algebras and prove two main results. First, every independence-friendly cylindric set algebra over a structure has an underlying Kleene algebra. Moreover, the class of such underlying Kleene algebras generates the variety of all Kleene algebras. Hence the equational theory of the class of Kleene algebras that underly an independence-friendly cylindric set algebra is finitely axiomatizable. Second, every one-dimensional independence-friendly cylindric set algebra over a structure has an underlying monadic Kleene algebra. However, the class of such underlying monadic Kleene algebras does not generate the variety of all monadic Kleene algebras. Finally, we offer a conjecture about which subvariety of monadic Kleene algebras the class of such monadic Kleene algebras does generate.

description: El colapso de la movilidad cotidiana de pasajeros en Bogotá ha justificado la adopción de una serie de medidas de política que, en la práctica, han resultado poco eficaces. Por el contrario, decisiones como la de la flexibilización del contrato de trabajo incrementaron considerablemente la demanda de movilidad cotidiana (Alfonso, 2015b). En este contexto, la iniciación de las obras de la primera línea del metro de Bogotá, aparece para muchos como la solución a los déficits acumulados de capital para la movilidad. En el presente análisis se sostiene que la línea prioritaria del metro es una solución eficaz para los problemas que enfrentan miles de pasajeros que residen en las zonas más densas de la ciudad, siempre y cuando el trazado las involucre, pero que no resuelve otros problemas como el de la congestión. No obstante que la decisión no es tan compleja como se aparenta, una teoría de la inversión como la de los rezagos distribuidos en el tiempo, permite analizar con algún detalle las indefiniciones y los riesgos no asumidos que han llevado a que la ciudad no cuente con al menos una línea metro y, además, sugiere unas razones por las que probablemente no las tendrá. Es decir, discute en el fondo las razones por las que la política pública de transporte masivo de pasajeros se ha tornado insostenible en diferentes planos como el ecológico y el financiero.
description: The collapse of daily passenger mobility in Bogotá has justified the adoption of a series of policy measures that, in practice, have proven to be ineffective. On the contrary, decisions such as the flexibilization of the labor contract considerably increased the demand for daily mobility (Alfonso, 2015b). In this context, the initiation of the works of the first line of the Bogotá subway, appears for many as the solution to the accumulated deficits of capital for mobility. This analysis argues that the priority metro line is an effective solution to the problems faced by thousands of passengers residing in the densest areas of the city, as long as the route involves them, but that it does not solve other problems such as congestion. Although the decision is not as complex as it seems, a theory of investment such as that of lags distributed over time allows us to analyze in some detail the uncertainties and risks that have led to the city not having at least one metro line, and also suggests some reasons why it probably will not have one. In other words, it discusses in depth the reasons why the public policy of mass passenger transport has become unsustainable on different levels, such as ecological and financial.

description: 21 cm cosmology is a promising new probe of the evolution of visible matter in our universe, especially during the poorly-constrained Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization. However, in order to separate the 21 cm signal from bright astrophysical foregrounds, we need an exquisite understanding of our telescopes so as to avoid adding spectral structure to spectrally-smooth foregrounds. One powerful calibration method relies on repeated simultaneous measurements of the same interferometric baseline to solve for the sky signal and for instrumental parameters simultaneously. However, certain degrees of freedom are not constrained by asserting internal consistency between redundant measurements. In this paper, we review the origin of these "degeneracies" of redundant-baseline calibration and demonstrate how they can source unwanted spectral structure in our measurement and show how to eliminate that additional, artificial structure. We also generalize redundant calibration to dual-polarization instruments, derive the degeneracy structure, and explore the unique challenges to calibration and preserving spectral smoothness presented by a polarized measurement.

World Literature and Periphery: A Distant Reading of Milton Hatoum’s The Brothers

Subjects: Milton Hatoum
periphery
world literature

description: This essay uses the novel The Brothers, by Brazilian writer Milton Hatoum, as an example of how literature from periphery countries can be read as world literature by readers of core countries or of cultural centres, based on the theoretical framework of the world system theory, by Wallerstein. which divides the world in a industrialized capitalist core, and dependent periphery and semi-periphery countries. By using the model of Moretti’s world literary system to exemplify how some literary production is being left out of the academic conversation on world literature, I propose a distant reading of Hatoum’s novel to show that there is nothing intrinsically alien or completely “regional” to the text which would justify its exclusion from the category of world literature. The text does not diminish its cultural and social background to conform to a Eurocentric view of the world, instead it invites us to reflect critically on cultural hegemony, born of imperial colonization, that tends to relegate works from peripheral areas to circulation at the margins of the Western world.

description: Ion flow in charged nanopores is strongly influenced by the ratio of the Debye length to the pore radius. We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) system in narrow pore like geometries and study the influence of the pore geometry and surface charge on ion transport. The physical properties of real pores motivate the investigation of distinguished asymptotic limits, in which either the Debye length and pore radius are comparable or the pore length is very much greater than its radius. This results in a Quasi-1D PNP model which can be further simplified, in the physically relevant limit of strong pore wall surface charge, to a fully one-dimensional model. Favourable comparison is made to the two-dimensional PNP equations in typical pore geometries. It is also shown that, for physically realistic parameters, the standard 1D Area Averaged PNP model for ion flow through a pore is a very poor approximation to the (real) two-dimensional solution to the PNP equations. This leads us to propose that the Quasi-1D PNP model derived here, whose computational cost is significantly less than two-dimensional solution of the PNP equations, should replace the use of the 1D Area Averaged PNP equations as a tool to investigate ion and current flows in ion pores.

description: Developing and implementing measurable methodologies for improving the security and resilience of a national postal sector directly contribute to protecting the public and postal employees, assets, and revenues. Such methodologies also contribute to the security and resilience of the mode of transport used to carry mail and the protection of the global mail supply chain. Since 2011, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) has collaborated with the CERT® Division at Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute to improve the resilience of selected U.S. Postal Service (USPS) products and services. The CERT® Resilience Management Model (CERT®-RMM) and its companion diagnostic methods have served as the foundational tool for this collaboration. CERT-RMM is a capability-focused maturity model for improving an organization’s management of operational resilience activities across the domains of security management, business continuity management, and aspects of information technology operations management. These improvements enable high-value services to meet their missions consistently and with high quality, particularly during times of stress and disruption. This report describes the USPIS/CERT collaboration, how CERT-RMM has been applied to meet USPIS project objectives, how project outcomes are improving the resilience of USPS products and services, and how similar use of CERT-RMM applies to other transportation-systems subsectors.

description: In long-term potentiation (LTP), one of the most studied types of neural plasticity, synaptic strength is persistently increased in response to stimulation. Although a number of different proteins have been implicated in the sub-cellular molecular processes underlying induction and maintenance of LTP, the precise mechanisms remain unknown. A particular challenge is to demonstrate that a proposed molecular mechanism can provide the level of stability needed to maintain memories for months or longer, in spite of the fact that many of the participating molecules have much shorter life spans. Here we present a computational model that combines simulations of several biochemical reactions that have been suggested in the LTP literature and show that the resulting system does exhibit the required stability. At the core of the model are two interlinked feedback loops of molecular reactions, one involving the atypical protein kinase PKMζ and its messenger RNA, the other involving PKMζ and GluA2-containing AMPA receptors. We demonstrate that robust bistability - stable equilibria both in the synapse's potentiated and unpotentiated states - can arise from a set of simple molecular reactions. The model is able to account for a wide range of empirical results, including induction and maintenance of late-phase LTP, cellular memory reconsolidation and the effects of different pharmaceutical interventions.
Sue Big Oil: Canadian Municipalities v. Fossil Fuel Giants
Creators: name: Johnson, Isabella
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2023

description: Climate litigation has become a useful tool to hold governments and corporations accountable over their role in the climate crisis. Indeed, more than 500 lawsuits were filed worldwide - alleging climate inaction, greenwashing tactics, and corporate deception - from 2020 to 2022 alone. Starting in 2018, municipalities across the United States (US) began filing lawsuits against the Carbon Majors, contending these companies should be held financially liable for extreme weather events – exacerbated by fossil fuel extraction and production - and consequent climate adaptation measures. This paper will discuss the Sue Big Oil campaign in BC, which aims to replicate the US litigation, and analyze four case studies from the US and the Netherlands to determine what political lessons – including opportunities to ease the financial impact of climate change, understand the fossil fuel industry’s knowledge of the crisis, make a political statement, and advance equity - the campaign can take from these lawsuits. The paper culminates with recommendations for local elected officials in BC on the benefits and risks associated with a potential class action lawsuit.
Thermal dark matter co-annihilating with a strongly interacting scalar

description: Recently many investigations have considered Majorana dark matter co-annihilating with bound states formed by a strongly interacting scalar field. However only the gluon radiation contribution to bound state formation and dissociation, which at high temperatures is subleading to soft 2->2 scatterings, has been included. Making use of a non-relativistic effective theory framework and solving a plasma-modified Schrodinger equation, we address the effect of soft 2->2 scatterings as well as the thermal dissociation of bound states. We argue that the mass splitting between the Majorana and scalar field has in general both a lower and an upper bound, and that the dark matter mass scale can be pushed at least up to 5...6 TeV.

Lebanon

description: This paper provides an in-depth analysis of Lebanon's severe economic crisis, a situation aggravated by the collapse of Banque du Liban's financial strategies, delayed reforms by the government, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the devastating Beirut Port explosion. These events have precipitated a sharp decline in disposable income, soaring inflation rates, and an alarming increase in unemployment and multidimensional poverty. Central to this study is a comprehensive field survey that examines eighteen coping mechanisms adopted by workers in various economic sectors of Lebanon. From this survey, we introduce a new index designed to systematically categorize and evaluate these coping strategies across four critical dimensions: nutrition, healthcare, education, and financial issues. We use this index to quantify and understand the extent to which workers have relied on these coping mechanisms, offering novel insights into the socio-economic repercussions of the crisis.

description: We present a method and an implementation for smooth linear motion in a finite difference-based micromagnetic simulation code, to be used in simulating magnetic friction and other phenomena involving moving microscale magnets. Our aim is to accurately simulate the magnetization dynamics and relative motion of magnets while retaining high computational speed. To this end, we combine techniques for fast scalar potential calculation and cubic b-spline interpolation, parallelizing them on a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). The implementation also includes the possibility of explicitly simulating eddy currents in the case of conducting magnets. We test our implementation by providing numerical examples of stick-slip motion of thin films pulled by a spring and the effect of eddy currents on the switching time of magnetic nanocubes.

description: El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad comprender la obliga·ón por parte del Estado Colombiano para el cumplimiento de la Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos y en sí, el Co ]pus luris Interamericano, en especial la jurisprudencia de la Corte lnteramericana de Derechos Humanos en relación con la repación integral de las víctimas y la obligación de los Estados para que ello se cumpla, de acuerdo al estándar de las mejores gara f tías, y lo novedoso es la compresión del conflicto armado interno de Colombia con las FARC -EP desde sus orígenes y lo pactad en la Habana para la dejación de armas de ese grupo guerrillero en pro de un avance en la paz de Colombia, para entender co o allí se estableció la reparación integral, que ya se encuentra en el ordenamiento jurídico colombiano y en las normas internacionales incorporadas a través del bloque de constitucionalidad. Lo anterior, en caso de no cumplirse, generaría una exposición al Estado colombiano al incumplimiento de sus compromisos internacionales en el ámbito regional, dando oportunidad a la activación de la jurisdiccióri interamericana, con· graves consecuencias para Colombia, fundadas en sanciones que e obligan en el cumplimiento de su posición como garante convencional.
description: The purpose of the present work is to understand the obligation by the Colombian State for the fulfillment of the American Convention on Human Rights and in itself, the lnter -American Corpus luris, especially the jurisprudence of the lnter -American Court of Human Rights in relation to comprehensive reparation of the victims and the obligation of the states so that this is fulfilled, according to the standard of the best guarantees, and the novelty is the compression of Colombia's interna! armed conflict with the FARC -EP from its origins and what was agreed in Havana For the abandonment of that guerrilla group for an advance in the peace of Colombia, to understand how the integral reparation w;as established, which is already in the Colombian legal system and in the international standards incorporated through the block of Constitutionality. The foregoing, in case of not being fulfilled, would generate exposure to the Colombian State to the breach of its international commitments at the regional level, giving opportunity to the activation of the inter -American jurisdiction, with serious consequences for Colombia, based on sanctions that force it in the Compliance with its position as conventional guarantor.

description: Coding errors cause the majority of software vulnerabilities. For example, 64% of the nearly 2,500 vulnerabilities in the National Vulnerability Database in 2004 were caused by programming errors. The CERT Division’s Source Code Analysis Laboratory (SCALe) offers conformance testing of C language software systems against the CERT C Secure Coding Standard and the CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java, using various analysis tools available from commercial software vendors. Unfortunately, the current SCALe analysis process and tools do not collect any statistics about the accuracy of the code analysis tools or about the coding violations they flag, such as frequency of occurrence. This paper describes the approach used to add the ability to collect and statistically analyze data regarding coding violations and tool characteristics along with the initial results. The collected data will be used over time to improve the effectiveness of the SCALe analysis.

description: This case study shows how an analytical architecture fault-modeling approach can be combined with confidence arguments to diagnose a time-sensitive design error in a control system and to provide evidence that proposed changes to the system address the problem. The analytical approach, based on the SAE Architecture Analysis and Design Language for its well-defined timing and fault behavior semantics, demonstrates that such hard-to-test errors can be discovered and corrected early in the lifecycle, thereby reducing rework cost. The case study shows that by combining the analytical approach with confidence maps, we can present a structured argument that system requirements have been met and problems in the design have been addressed adequately—increasing our confidence in the system quality. The case study analyzes an aircraft engine control system that manages fuel flow with a stepper motor. The original design was developed and verified in a commercial model-based development environment without discovering the potential for missed step commanding. During system tests, actual fuel flow did not correspond to the desired fuel flow under certain circumstances. The problem was traced to missed execution of commanded steps due to variation in execution time.

description: In classical and quantum systems, perturbation of an evolution equation is often invalidated by secular terms which diverge at late times. The diverging behavior of evolution can be remedied by various techniques of resumma- tion such as renormalization group or multi-scale analysis. In this paper, we prove that, in a generic quantum mechanical system, secular terms can be systematically removed to all orders in the Dyson series by the method of improved (renormalized) perturbation. A recurrence relation to provide an explicit method to remove the secular terms is given. As a byproduct, we give a simple method to obtain energy eigenvalues and decay rates to all orders of perturbation.

description: A lo largo de los capítulos de este libro, el lector encontrará un análisis de las más importantes discusiones que se han suscitado en materia de arbitraje, en donde se pone en evidencia cómo la jurisprudencia constitucional se ha consolidado como el insumo fundamental para definir el alcance de distintas disposiciones arbitrales. Queda claro cómo el influjo de la Constitución Política de 1991 y del papel de la Corte Constitucional marcó un aire renovado –no siempre exento de críticas– que ha moldeado la forma en que se entienden nuestras garantías procesales y las propias disposiciones del Estatuto de Arbitraje Nacional e Internacional.

description: We forecast constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) and bias parameters from measurements of galaxy power spectrum and bispectrum in future radio continuum and optical surveys. In the galaxy bispectrum, we consider a comprehensive list of effects, including the bias expansion for non-Gaussian initial conditions up to second order, redshift space distortions, redshift uncertainties and theoretical errors. These effects are all combined in a single PNG forecast for the first time. Moreover, we improve the bispectrum modelling over previous forecasts, by accounting for trispectrum contributions. All effects have an impact on final predicted bounds, which varies with the type of survey. We find that the bispectrum can lead to improvements up to a factor $\sim 5$ over bounds based on the power spectrum alone, leading to significantly better constraints for local-type PNG, with respect to current limits from \textit{Planck}. Future radio and photometric surveys could obtain a measurement error of $σ(f_{\mathrm{NL}}^{\mathrm{loc}}) \approx 0.2$. In the case of equilateral PNG, galaxy bispectrum can improve upon present bounds only if significant improvements in the redshift determinations of future, large volume, photometric or radio surveys could be achieved. For orthogonal non-Gaussianity, expected constraints are generally comparable to current ones.
