a testament to sacrilege
Creators: name: Perez de Alderete, Raquel M
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

"a testament to sacrilege" is an autofiction that handles queer identity, monstrosity, religious trauma, and mental illness. Refusing to bend into traditional narrative structure, the work instead fluctuates between the known and the not-known; a work that acts as wet cloth in either a balm or a drowning. What makes a monster? What does it mean to be good? Weaving narrative prose, essay writing, and memoir, “a testament to sacrilege” follows three phases in the life of the narrator and Mouse - a dissociative state the narrator is able to access only through trauma. Focused on the power of feminine relationships in the face of violence, the 40,000-word collage uses erasure text to simulate the experience of OCD as it is felt by the author. While the work is necessarily delicate, it is also hopeful - Mouse and the narrator learn to work through recovery. While the narrator is inevitably able to overcome her past, “a testament to sacrilege” is not interested in the specifics of suffering: instead, it is interested in what it takes to survive that suffering. The initial opening to “a testament of sacrilege” was the recipient of the 2021 Harvey Swados Fiction award.

description: An SO(10) supersymmetric grand unified model proposed earlier leading to the solar solution involving ``just-so'' vacuum oscillations is reexamined to study its ability to obtain the other possible solar solutions. It is found that all four viable solar neutrino oscillation solutions can be achieved in the model simply by modification of the right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrix, M_R. Whereas the small mixing and vacuum solutions are easily obtained with several texture zeros in M_R, the currently-favored large mixing angle solution requires a nearly geometric hierarchical form for M_R that leads by the seesaw formula to a light neutrino mass matrix which has two or three texture zeros. The form of the matrix which provides the ``fine-tuning'' necessary to achieve the large mixing angle solution can be understood in terms of Froggatt-Nielsen diagrams for the Dirac and right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices. The solution fulfils several leptogenesis requirements which in turn can be responsible for the baryon asymmetry in the universe.

description: We propose a unified dynamic tracking algorithmic framework (PLAY-CS) to reconstruct signal sequences with their intrinsic structured dynamic sparsity. By capitalizing on specific statistical assumptions concerning the dynamic filter of the signal sequences, the proposed framework exhibits versatility by encompassing various existing dynamic compressive sensing (DCS) algorithms. This is achieved through the incorporation of a newly proposed Partial-Laplacian filtering sparsity model, tailored to capture a more sophisticated dynamic sparsity. In practical scenarios such as dynamic channel tracking in wireless communications, the framework demonstrates enhanced performance compared to existing DCS algorithms.

description: This paper provides a quantitative assessment of the likely economy-wide impacts of agricultural productivity improvements in Sri Lanka. A static multi sector Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model of the Sri Lankan economy using the input-output table for year 2000 is employed highlighting the agricultural sector and its interactions with other production sectors in the economy. The results indicate that increasing agricultural productivity leads to positive economic benefits. However, productivity improvements would lead to reduction in agricultural employment, which in turn may affect the real income of households in agricultural provinces in the short run.

No evidence for such particles was found, giving a 95% C.L. upper limit of $1.17\times 10^{-22}$ particles per nucleon on the abundance of fractional charge particles in silicone oil for $0.18 e \le |Q_{residual}| \le 0.82 e$. Since this is the first use of this new method we describe the advantages and limitations of the method.

description: This paper presents a case study of microbe transportation in the Mars-satellites system. We examined the spatial distribution of potential impact-transported microbes on the Martian moons using impact physics by following a companion study (Fujita et al.). We used sterilization data from the precede studies. We considered that the microbes came mainly from the Zunil crater on Mars. We found that 70-80% of the microbes are likely to be dispersed all over the moon surface and are rapidly sterilized due to radiation except for those microbes within a thick ejecta deposit produced by meteoroids. The other 20-30% might be shielded from radiation by thick regolith layers that formed at collapsed layers in craters produced by Mars rock impacts. The total number of potentially surviving microbes at the thick ejecta deposits is estimated to be 3-4 orders of magnitude lower than at the Mars rock craters. The microbe concentration is irregular in the horizontal direction and is largely depth-dependent due to the radiation sterilization. The surviving fraction of transported microbes would be only 1 ppm on Phobos and 100 ppm on Deimos, suggesting that the transport processes and radiation severely affect microbe survival. The microbe sampling probability from the Martian moons was also investigated. We suggest that sample return missions from the Martian moons are classified into Unrestricted Earth-Return missions for 30 g samples and 10 cm depth sampling, even in our conservative scenario. We also conducted a full statistical analysis for sampling the regolith of Phobos to include the effects of uncertainties in input parameters on the sampling probability. The most likely probability of microbial contamination for return samples is estimated to be two orders of magnitude lower than the criterion defined by the planetary protection policy of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR).

Light Quark Masses with Overlap Fermions in Quenched QCD

description: We present the results of a computation of the sum of the strange and average up-down quark masses with overlap fermions in the quenched approximation. Since the overlap regularization preserves chiral symmetry at finite cutoff and volume, no additive quark mass renormalization is required and the results are O(a) improved. Our simulations are performed at beta=6.0 and volume V=16^3X32, which correspond to a lattice cutoff of ~2 GeV and to an extension of ~1.4 fm. The logarithmically divergent renormalization constant has been computed non-perturbatively in the RI/MOM scheme. By using the K-meson mass as experimental input, we obtain (m_s + m_l)^RI(2 GeV) = 120(7)(21) MeV, which corresponds m_s^MS (2 GeV) = 102(6)(18) MeV if continuum perturbation theory and ChiPT are used. By using the GMOR relation we also obtain ^MS(2 GeV)/N_f = - 0.0190(11)(33) GeV^3 = - [267(5)(15) MeV]^3.

DIAGNOSIS: Polyglyphanodontids are diagnosed by 9(0) absence of dermal sculpturing on the prefrontal, 77(0) pineal foramen lying within the parietal, 119(0) presence of a pterygoid-vomer contact, 122(1) pterygoids contact at midline, 213(1) marginal teeth waisted, 261(0) straight (non-angulate) clavicle, and 266(1) secondary scapular fenestra present.
 COMMENTS: Estes (1983) and Presch (1983) considered the taxa contained here in Polyglyphanodontidae to be a subclade of Teiidae (see comments above for Teiidae). New data regarding the dentition of Polyglyphanodon sternbergii from an excellent study by Nydam and Cifelli (2005) will be incorporated into future versions of this analysis.

description: This study examined the role of earthworms in the stabilisation of soil organic carbon from livestock dung in a long-term mesocosm study, including its incorporation in deeper soil layers and association with particle size fractions. Two earthworm treatments were established, with the abundant and diverse treatment having 390 m−2 less epigeic Lumbricus rubellus, 2400 m−2 more endogeic Aporrectodea caliginosa and 220 m−2 more anecic Aporrectodea longa at the final sampling than the treatment dominated by epigeic species. The abundant and diverse earthworm treatment increased the decomposition of dung in the surface 20 mm, and doubled the amount of dung-derived C within the <250 µm size fractions at 20–75 mm depth compared to the epigeic treatment (4.8 vs. 9.8 g/kg soil, respectively). Earthworms have the ability to increase sequestration of C into smaller, and potentially more stable, size fractions.

description: In this paper, we set up a simple model that explains the relation between low input price, high exit rates and industrial oncentration. More precisely, we argue that falling input prices force firms with low productivity to exit and induce expansion of more efficient incumbents at the expense of less productive producers. Our model helps reconcile some well‐established empirical results regarding the food processing industry. Indeed, agricultural prices have been declining between the early 1900s until 2006 while, over the same period, concentration and firm productivity have been increasing in the agri‐food industry.

description: Objective: Absolute risk models estimate an individual's future disease risk over a specified time interval. Applications utilizing server-side risk tooling, such as the R-based iCARE (R-iCARE), to build, validate, and apply absolute risk models, face serious limitations in portability and privacy due to their need for circulating user data in remote servers for operation. Our objective was to overcome these limitations.
 Materials and Methods: We refactored R-iCARE into a Python package (Py-iCARE) then compiled it to WebAssembly (Wasm-iCARE): a portable web module, which operates entirely within the privacy of the user's device.
 Results: We showcase the portability and privacy of Wasm-iCARE through two applications: for researchers to statistically validate risk models, and to deliver them to end-users. Both applications run entirely on the client-side, requiring no downloads or installations, and keeps user data on-device during risk calculation.
 Conclusions: Wasm-iCARE fosters accessible and privacy-preserving risk tools, accelerating their validation and delivery.

description: Diseases in young organisms might, arguably, be seen as deviations from normality. By contrast, diseases that typically appear in old age seem more inevitable and may be caused by depletion of resources over a lifetime. We discuss how depletion of resources (stem cells) in one region of the body (the hippocampus) may lead to retention of stressed cells in that region and onset of neurodegenerative illness.

description: The intermediate-sized cities of southern Chile experience days of high pollution levels every winter due to the use of wood-burning stoves. Several studies have analysed the factors that hinder energy transition and the social acceptance of measures to improve air quality, the consequences of which are disturbing. However, they have mainly focused on health issues without considering the social impacts of air pollution. This study aims to assess whether exposure to outdoor air pollution is associated with school absenteeism. We analysed the records of approx. 5,000 students in the fourth grade from 25 schools in five cities in southern Chile (2010–2017). Using a fixed-effects model and applying it to the school level, we were able to estimate the effect of air pollution on absenteeism from school after controlling for the effects of individual characteristics. Previous studies have found that independent of air pollution, students from low-income families have a higher absenteeism rate. Our findings suggest that as air pollution worsens, pupils from middle and high-income households are also more likely to miss school days. We argue that this is, presumably, because high-income families are able to develop protective behaviour such as bringing their children to the doctor or keeping them at home on highly polluted days.

description: Satyendra Nath Bose's attempt to describe the quantum statistical aspects of light consistently in terms of particles, and Einstein's generalisation, lead to the concept of Bosons as a class of quanta obeying `Bose-Einstein statistics'. Their identity as a class came in sharp contrast when the Pauli exclusion principle and the Dirac equation revealed the other class called Fermions, obeying `Fermi-Dirac statistics'. Spin, and spin alone, is the determining factor of the multiparticle behaviour of fundamental quanta. This is the basis of the Spin-Statistics Connection. While it is known that the overall theoretical picture is consistent, the physical reason for the connection is unknown. Further, the class difference is sensitive only to the total spin in a quantum aggregate, as spectacularly seen in superconductivity and superfluidity, and in the Bose-Einstein condensation of neutral atomic gas. Can we grasp the true reason behind the difference in the collective behaviour of Bosons and Fermions? An explorer's journey demanding logical and physical consistency of what we already know takes us to the hidden factors in the relation between spin and the statistics of quanta. The surprising answer is in the domain of gravity, that too, on a cosmic scale.

 DIAGNOSIS: Dibamus and Anelytropsis papillosus form a clade diagnosed by 12(2) mediolateral breadth of the premaxillary nasal process less than the dorsoventral depth, 32(2) palatine flange expanded posteromedially beyond the posterolateral process of the maxilla, 33(1) maxillary tooth row terminates at the level of the anterior border of the orbit, 146(2) prootic alone houses the external posterior opening of the Vidian canal, 188(2) splenial present, but fused to the postdentary bones, and 234(0) absence of oblique vertebral condyles.
 COMMENTS: Only one of about 20 named species of Dibamus (Uetz, 2007) was included in this analysis (D. novaeguineae). More species, possibly one including more plesiomorphic features (e.g., D. bourreti; see Iordansky, 1985), will be included in the future. However, available material and descriptions suggests that Anelytropsis papillosus retains more plesiomorphic features than any observed Dibamus.

description: We investigate non-degenerate bound state solitons systematically in multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates, through developing Darboux transformation method to derive exact soliton solutions analytically. In particular, we show that bright solitons with nodes correspond to the excited bound eigen-states in the self-induced effective quantum wells, in sharp contrast to the bright soliton and dark soliton reported before (which usually correspond to ground state and free eigen-state respectively). We further demonstrate that the bound state solitons with nodes are induced by incoherent interactions between solitons in different components. Moreover, we reveal that the interactions between these bound state solitons are usually inelastic, caused by the incoherent interactions between solitons in different components and the coherent interactions between solitons in same component. The bound state solitons can be used to discuss many different physical problems, such as beating dynamics, spin-orbital coupling effects, quantum fluctuations, and even quantum entanglement states.

description: We analyze the spatial distribution of genetically modified (GM) and organic crops. Because some organic crops will likely be contaminated by GM crops, not all of the non- GM crops can be sold as organic. Therefore, the choice of producing organic crops will depend on the surrounding crops. When producers follow individual strategies, many spatial configurations arise in equilibrium, some being more efficient than others. We examine how coordination among producers has an impact on the spatial distribution of crop varieties. We show that coordination among only a small number of producers can greatly improve efficiency. For instance, an organic producer who has two GM neighbors needs to coordinate only with one of them to reduce spatial externality and improve efficiency.
Searching for Afrekete

Searching for Afrekete is a hybrid collection of poems, epistles, a short story, and an essay conveying a search for a queer God. This god is reflected from Audre Lorde’s seminal work ZAMI. Each genre represents a quest to find, lay bare feelings, and be in conversation with the god, trickster, and mother Afrekete who encapsulates these personas according to some seminal scholars in dialogue with ZAMI. This collection is a lament and affirmation of black, queer life and spirituality.

description: Kaon polarization operator in dense baryonic matter of arbitrary isotopic composition is calculated including s- and p-wave kaon-baryon interactions. The regular part of the polarization operator is extracted from the realistic kaon-nucleon interaction based on the chiral and 1/N_c expansion. Contributions of the Lambda(1116), Sigma(1195), Sigma*(1385) resonances are taken explicitly into account in the pole and regular terms with inclusion of mean-field potentials. The baryon-baryon correlations are incorporated and fluctuation contributions are estimated. Results are applied for K- in neutron star matter. Within our model a second-order phase transition to the s-wave K- condensate state occurs at $rho_c \gsim 4 ρ_0$ once the baryon-baryon correlations are included. We show that the second-order phase transition to the p-wave $K^-$ condensate state may occur at densities $ρ_c \sim 3÷5 ρ_0$ in dependence on the parameter choice. We demonstrate that a first-order phase transition to a proton-enriched (approximately isospin-symmetric) nucleon matter with a p-wave K- condensate can occur at smaller densities, $ρ\lsim 2 ρ_0$. The transition is accompanied by the suppression of hyperon concentrations.

The determination of all the Jacobi sums and cyclotomic numbers of order $e$ are merely intricate to compute. This paper presents the lesser numbers of Jacobi sums and cyclotomic numbers which are enough for the determination of all Jacobi sums and the cyclotomic numbers of a particular order.

This project started as inspections of violence in different forms, specifically childhood violence. I created scenes of lost youth and displacement and some kind of fragmentation, or eruption of violence, that seemed to also justify the fragmented nature of the scenes, and how they may have been jaggedly connected. Then I had a strong urge to novelize the characters I had written, I wanted to tell their full story. The narrator Christian overtakes the novel, so it could be described as an i-novel really. He isn’t always an active participant in the action of what’s happening in the scenes, but he’ll sit back as more of an observer. The narrator’s most salient feature is his need to connect, as he presents a series of failures in accessing, or being accessible to, his friends.

description: We unveil a novel mechanism for quasicondensation of hard-core bosons in the presence of quasiperiodicity-induced multifractal single-particle states. The new critical state, here dubbed fractal quasicondensate, is characterized by natural orbitals with multifractal properties and by an occupancy of the lowest natural orbital, λ0 ~ Lγ, which grows with system size but with a nonuniversal scaling exponent, γ < 1/2. In contrast to fractal quasicondensates obtained when the chemical potential lies in a region of multifractal single-particle states, placing the chemical potential in regions of localized or delocalized states yields, respectively, no condensation or the usual 1D quasicondensation with γ = 1/2. Our findings are established by studying one-dimensional hardcore bosons subjected to various quasiperiodic potentials, including the well-known Aubry-Andre model, employing a mapping to non-interacting fermionics that allows for numerically exact results. We discuss how to test our findings in state-of-the-art ultracold atom experiments.

description: From humanistic characteristics, historical origin, fame, quality, and the correlation between quality and production region, we analyze key factors of protection for Geographic Indication product Liupao Tea. We also analyze industrial development of Liupao Tea from processing threshold, scale of processing enterprises, standard and index, planting base, research and development and technology popularization, and pesticide control. In line with these situations, we put forward following suggestions. First, it is proposed to raise standard index and formulate national standard for LiuDao Tea. Second, we should popularize the industrial mode of “market + association enterprise) + base” and establish demonstration area for protection of Geographic Indication product Liupao Tea. Third, it is recommended to raise the production and processing threshold. Fourth, we should establish special production inspection and research and development institution. Fifth, it is suggested to set up independent supervision organization.

European accelerator-based neutrino projects

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Future neutrino projects in Europe will follow two distinct time lines. On the medium term, they will be dominated by the CERN-Gran Sasso long-baseline project, with two experiments OPERA and ICARUS, mainly concentrated on $τ$ appearance. On the longer term, several projects are under discussion. A new proton driver at CERN that accelerates a 4 MW beam to 2.2 GeV of energy would open the possibility of a low-energy super-beam, possibly sent to the French laboratory under the Frejus. A new radioactive heavy ion facility could produce a pure $ν_e$ beam, to be used independently or simultaneously with the super-beam. In the framework of R&D for Super-Beam and Neutrino Factory, the HARP experiment is studying hadron production at low energies on various targets.

As a poet, I am continually on the lookout for the strange in the real, and the real in the strange: scientific, linguistic, poetic, human. These poems are my offerings of strange realness and real strangeness. Often where the poems want to go is toward questions that live in connection / disconnection, identity, disability and illness, art, religion and ritual, desire and love and wanting, and one of my dearest loves, music. And, of course, science and language, and the language of science.

description: A code $C \subseteq \{0, 1, 2\}^n$ of length $n$ is called trifferent if for any three distinct elements of $C$ there exists a coordinate in which they all differ. By $T(n)$ we denote the maximum cardinality of trifferent codes with length. $T(5)=10$ and $T(6)=13$ were recently determined. Here we determine $T(7)=16$, $T(8)=20$, and $T(9)=27$. For the latter case $n=9$ there also exist linear codes attaining the maximum possible cardinality $27$.

description: Three stages of reform of collective forest tenure after reform and opening up are reviewed. The reform of forest tenure brings sharp increase of economic benefit. However, due to forest farmers' subjective pursuit for economic benefit and objective lack of necessary economic, financial and technical support, ecological hidden troubles are created. Based on these, we put forward countermeasures, including strengthening forest farmers' awareness of ecological protection and solving ecological problems in accordance with actual conditions of the region.

description: We show how it is possible to give a precise and unambiguous implementation of the Witten--Veneziano formula for the eta' mass on the lattice, which looks like the formal continuum one, if the expression of the topological charge density operator, suggested by fermions obeying the Ginsparg--Wilson relation, is employed. By using recent numerical results from simulations with overlap fermions in 2 (abelian Schwinger model) and 4 (QCD) dimensions, one obtains values for the mass of the lightest pseudo-scalar flavour-singlet state that agree within errors with theoretical expectations and experimental data, respectively.

description: Introduction: While most countries require health warnings on cigarette packs, the Scottish and Canadian Governments are considering requiring health warnings on cigarette sticks. Methods: Twenty focus groups were conducted in Glasgow and Edinburgh (Scotland) with smokers (n = 120) segmented by age (16–17, 18–24, 25–35, 36–50, >50), gender and social grade, to explore perceptions of cigarettes displaying the warning ‘Smoking kills’ on the cigarette paper and any demographic differences in how smokers responded to these. Results: A warning on each cigarette was thought to prolong the health message, as it would be visible when a cigarette was taken from a pack, lit, left in an ashtray, and with each draw, and make avoidant behavior more difficult. That it would be visible to others was perceived as off-putting for some. It was felt that a warning on each cigarette would create a negative image and be embarrassing. Within several female groups they were viewed as depressing, worrying and frightening, with it suggested that people would not feel good smoking cigarettes displaying a warning. Within every group there was mention of warnings on cigarettes potentially having an impact on themselves, others or both. Some, mostly younger groups, mentioned stubbing cigarettes out early, reducing consumption or quitting. The consensus was that they would be off-putting for young people, nonsmokers and those starting to smoke. Conclusions: Including a warning on each cigarette stick is a viable policy option and one which would, for the first time, extend health messaging to the consumption experience.
