description: Aim: We lack a robust understanding of whether exotic species, in addition to causing changes immediately after establishing, might continue to increase in dominance long after invasion events occur. To address this, we resurveyed strandline plant communities, which are likely to have been invaded for over two centuries. Location: Northeastern USA. Methods: We resurveyed the richness and cover of native and exotic plants in 2008 and 2009 at 18 sites, which had originally been surveyed in 1998. We examined whether native and exotic dominance had changed, whether native-rich sites were less likely to be impacted by exotics over time, whether changes in dominance were driven by large changes in a small number of outlier species or by small, incremental changes among many species and whether disturbance mediated any of these relationships. Results: Exotic dominance increased across sites. Initial native diversity was unrelated to patterns of exotic dominance during resurveys. The identity of species that were outliers with respect to changes in distribution or cover varied between resurvey years. Significant changes in exotic-to-native richness ratios at sites were detectible with or without the inclusion of outlier species, but changes in abundance ratios were only significant when outlier species were included. Disturbance across sites was not correlated with species richness, cover, or changes in dominance. Main conclusions: In this historically invaded community, exotics have increased in dominance over the last decade. This change is not due solely to the success of a few hyper-dominant species, but also to the cumulative effect of small changes in distribution among many species. It remains unclear whether patterns observed are due to invasion processes that are playing out very slowly through time or to some other explanation. Our findings highlight the need for a more robust understanding of the long-term dynamics of species invasions.

Рассмотрена взаимосвязь между спецификой рассмотрения арбитражных споров и особенностями введения норм о приказном производстве. На основании исторического опыта, судебной практики выявлены основные проблемы функционирования приказного производства в судах общей юрисдикции и арбитражных судах.The article is devoted to the legal analysis of the features of the development of order proceedings in the civil and arbitration process, an attempt is made to answer the question: why were rules on order proceedings in the civil procedure code of the Russian Federation introduced much earlier than in the arbitration procedure code? The relationship between the specifics of the consideration of arbitration disputes and the peculiarities of the introduction of norms on writ proceedings is considered. Based on historical experience and judicial practice, the main problems of the functioning of order proceedings in courts of general jurisdiction and arbitration courts are identified.

description: Modeling difficulty, time-varying model, and uncertain external inputs are the main challenges for energy management of fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles. In the paper, a fuzzy reinforcement learning-based energy management strategy for fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles is proposed to reduce fuel consumption, maintain the batteries' long-term operation, and extend the lifetime of the fuel cells system. Fuzzy Q-learning is a model-free reinforcement learning that can learn itself by interacting with the environment, so there is no need for modeling the fuel cells system. In addition, frequent startup of the fuel cells will reduce the remaining useful life of the fuel cells system. The proposed method suppresses frequent fuel cells startup by considering the penalty for the times of fuel cell startups in the reward of reinforcement learning. Moreover, applying fuzzy logic to approximate the value function in Q-Learning can solve continuous state and action space problems. Finally, a python-based training and testing platform verify the effectiveness and self-learning improvement of the proposed method under conditions of initial state change, model change and driving condition change.
One-loop beta-function for an infinite-parameter family of gauge theories

description: We continue to study an infinite-parametric family of gauge theories with an arbitrary function of the self-dual part of the field strength as the Lagrangian. The arising one-loop divergences are computed using the background field method. We show that they can all be absorbed by a local redefinition of the gauge field, as well as multiplicative renormalisations of the couplings. Thus, this family of theories is one-loop renormalisable. The infinite set of beta-functions for the couplings is compactly stored in a renormalisation group flow for a single function of the curvature. The flow is obtained explicitly.

description: Estimating the influence that individual nodes have on one another in a Boolean network is essential to predict and control the system’s dynamical behaviour, for example, detecting key therapeutic targets to control pathways in models of biological signaling and regulation. Exact estimation is generally not possible due to the fact that the number of configurations that must be considered grows exponentially with the system size. However, approximate, scalable methods exist in the literature. These methods can be divided in two main classes: (i) graph-theoretic methods that rely on representations of Boolean dynamics into static graphs, (ii) and mean-field approaches that describe average trajectories of the system but neglect dynamical correlations. Here, we compare systematically the performance of these state-of-the-art methods on a large collection of real-world gene regulatory networks. We find comparable performance across methods. All methods underestimate the ground truth, with mean-field approaches having a better recall but a worse precision than graph-theoretic methods. Computationally speaking, graph-theoretic methods are faster than mean-field ones in sparse networks, but are slower in dense networks. The preference of which method to use, therefore, depends on a network’s connectivity and the relative importance of recall versus precision for the specific application at hand.

description: Many marine scientists have concluded that coral reefs are moving toward or are locked into a seaweed-dominated state. However, because there have been no regional- or global-scale analyses of such coral reef "phase shifts," the magnitude of this phenomenon was unknown. We analyzed 3581 quantitative surveys of 1851 reefs performed between 1996 and 2006 to determine the frequency, geographical extent, and degree of macroalgal dominance of coral reefs and of coral to macroalgal phase shifts around the world. Our results indicate that the replacement of corals by macroalgae as the dominant benthic functional group is less common and less geographically extensive than assumed. Although we found evidence of moderate local increases in macroalgal cover, particularly in the Caribbean, only 4% of reefs were dominated by macroalgae (i.e.,>50% cover). Across the Indo-Pacific, where regional averages of macroalgal cover were 9-12%, macroalgae only dominated 1% of the surveyed reefs. Between 1996 and 2006, phase shift severity decreased in the Caribbean, did not change in the Florida Keys and Indo-Pacific, and increased slightly on the Great Barrier Reef due to moderate coral loss. Coral reef ecosystems appear to be more resistant to macroalgal blooms than assumed, which has important implications for reef management.

description: Using a Green's function approach, we compare the trajectories of classical Hamiltonian point particles in an expanding space-time to the effectively inertial trajectories in the Zel'dovich approximation. It is shown that the effective gravitational potential accelerating the particles relative to the Zel'dovich trajectories vanishes exactly initially as a consequence of the continuity equation, and acts only during a short, early period. The Green's function approach suggests an iterative scheme for improving the Zel'dovich trajectories, which can be analytically solved. We construct these trajectories explicitly and show how they interpolate between the Zel'dovich and the exact trajectories. The effective gravitational potential acting on the improved trajectories is substantially smaller at late times than the potential acting on the exact trajectories. The results may be useful for Lagrangian perturbation theory and for numerical simulations.

Biodiversity mediates productivity through different mechanisms at adjacent trophic levels

Publisher: name: Ecological Society of America
Year: 2007

description: Biodiversity may enhance productivity either because diverse communities more often contain productive species (selection effects) or because they show greater complementarity in resource use. Our understanding of how these effects influence community production comes almost entirely from studies of plants. To test whether previous results apply to higher trophic levels, we first used simulations to derive expected contributions of selection and complementarity to production in competitive assemblages defined by either neutral interactions, dominance, or a trade-off between growth and competitive ability. The three types of simulated assemblages exhibited distinct interaction signatures when diversity effects were partitioned into selection and complementarity components. We then compared these signatures to those of experimental marine communities. Diversity influenced production in fundamentally different ways in assemblages of macroalgae, characterized by growth-competition trade-offs, vs. in herbivores, characterized by dominance. Forecasting the effects of changing biodiversity in multitrophic ecosystems will require recognizing that the mechanism by which diversity influences functioning can vary among trophic levels in the same food web.

Null models of exotic invasion and scale-dependent patterns of native and exotic species richness

Publisher: name: Ecological Society of America

description: Surveys of natural habitats often indicate that native and exotic species richness are positively correlated at large scales and negatively correlated at small scales. The small-scale relationship is often presented as evidence that native richness can repel invasion or conversely that exotic invasions can reduce native diversity. The larger scale pattern has been interpreted as evidence of the importance of facilitation, variable habitat quality, propagule supply, and other ecological phenomena. However, these explanations fail to consider expected native-exotic richness relationships under a null model assuming no species interactions. We show via simulation that the null expectation for a randomly assembled community is a negative relationship between native and exotic species richness at the smallest scales and, when plots vary in total richness, a positive relationship at larger scales. We outline a procedure to compare observational data to this null expectation using a permutation test of labels of species origin (native or exotic). Our use of this technique on plant community data indicates that patterns of native and exotic richness are remarkably similar to those generated by a null model. We argue that a null model approach is needed to evaluate whether observed native-exotic richness data deviate significantly from expected patterns generated by sampling and statistical artifacts.

description: Le politiche di contrasto al terrorismo e alla radicalizzazione in Europa hanno subito molti cambiamenti in anni recenti, dipendendo dall’evoluzione delle minacce, in particolare dell’estremismo jihadista. Il quadro normativo europeo degli ultimi quindici anni ha messo in campo misure di prevenzione e lotta al terrorismo su due fronti distinti: quello repressivo e quello preventivo. L’UE ha promosso numerose iniziative per comprendere meglio le cause radicali del terrorismo e ha identificato la radicalizzazione come l’elemento su cui focalizzarsi nella lotta al terrorismo. Il fine di questo studio è analizzare lo “stato dell’arte” delle politiche esistenti in alcuni Stati membri dell’UE per capire se gli sforzi compiuti finora dall’UE per migliorare e standardizzare le sue politiche di contrasto al terrorismo (CT), e in particolare quelle di contrasto all’estremismo violento (CVE), hanno dato risultati positivi. L’analisi di tre casi di studio, Belgio, Francia e Spagna, ha mostrato che in alcuni paesi europei permangono sfide considerevoli e questioni critiche, specialmente nella messa in atto di politiche di contrasto alla radicalizzazione.

Constraining a multiple stellar origin of blue stragglers via speckle imaging
Creators: name: Salinas, Ricardo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: As single stellar evolution cannot explain the existence of blue stragglers (BSs), several formation scenarios involving binaries have been put forward, with mass transfer and direct collisions taking the lead. A third mechanism, operating on its own or enhancing the former, is the Kozai-Lidov mechanism, where the amplitude of the inner binary in a hierarchical triple system, changes via secular torque of its outer companion, eventually leading to a merger of the inner binary and the formation of a BS. While much of our knowledge of the binarity of BSs comes from multi-year radial velocity campaigns (e.g. WOCS), these approaches are necessarily insensitive to the most distant binaries, like those predicted by the Kozai-Lidov mechanism. These companions on wide orbits may be visible through direct high-resolution imaging. We observed 51 BSs in 10 open clusters with the speckle interferometers, Zorro and 'Alopeke at both Gemini telescopes, reaching a spatial resolution of about 25 mas, the diffraction limit at ~500nm. Our observations probe for main-sequence companions down to a mass close to 0.3 Msun, revealing that about 10% of BSs have these distant main-sequence companions. On-going spectroscopy will reveal whether the companions can be considered bound.

description: Hypothesis: Contact-line motion upon drying of sessile droplet strongly affects the solute transport and solvent evaporation profile. Hence, it should have a strong impact on the deposit formation and might be responsible for volcano-like, dome-like and at deposit morphologies. Experiments: A method based on a thin-film interference was used to track the drop height profile and contact line motion during the drying. A diverse set of drying scenarios was obtained by using inks with different solvent compositions and by adjusting the substrate wetting properties. The experimental data was compared to the predictions of phenomenological model. Findings: We highlight the essential role of contact-line mobility on the deposit morphology of solution-based inks. A pinned contact line produces exclusively ring-like deposits under normal conditions. On the contrary, drops with a mobile contact line can produce ring-, at- or dome-like morphology. The developed phenomenological model shows that the deposit morphology depends on solvent evaporation profile, evolution of the drop radius relative to its contact angle, and the ratio between initial and maximal (gelling) solute concentration. These parameters can be adjusted by the ink solvent composition and substrate wetting behaviour, which provides a way for deposition of uniform and at deposits via inkjet printing.

description: This study investigates the factors most influential in determining relationship satisfaction among heterosexual couples in the U.S. The study contributes to the recent discussion regarding whether married or cohabiting couples are more satisfied in their relationships, as well as the literature investigating the factors involved in measuring relationship satisfaction. Using binary logistic regression, I analyze how under-explored factors including age, race, gender, income level, and number of children in the household influence relationship satisfaction among married and cohabiting couples. The results of this study emphasize the significance of understanding the complex nature of relationship satisfaction and shed light on the nuanced interactions between these variables. I find that it is men who value the status of marriage, while women’s relationship satisfaction suffers from age defining standards and the role of mothering. This paper leads to more research investigating the benefits and drawbacks of cohabitation and marriage, including factors predicting relationship stability and dissolution among couples in the U.S. by gender.

Causes of landscape-scale rarity in cobble beach plant communities
Creators: name: Bruno, J.F.
Publisher: name: Ecological Society of America
Year: 2002

description: In most communities, a considerable number of the constituent species will only occupy a small percentage of sites or habitat patches. However, the factors that limit the distribution and abundance of rare species are seldom examined and are poorly understood. I tested several explanations of landscape-scale rarity in the New England cobble beach plant community, an assemblage of halophytic forbs associated with fringing beds of the marine intertidal grass Spartina alterniflora. Spartina reduces flow velocity and stabilizes the cobble substrate, thereby reducing the burial of seeds and seedlings of other species. Frequencies of the presence of forb species behind 387 sampled Spartina beds distributed along 120 km of shoreline in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, USA, ranged from 0.005 to 0.382. Both the whole forb assemblage and individual species were strongly nested with respect to patch size and species richness. Species that were rare on a landscape scale were generally only found behind the longest beds, and bed length was positively related to species diversity. Experimental seed additions to 40 beds ranging in length from 8 to 688 m indicated that intermediate-sized beds often occupied by common species are not habitable by three rare forbs. When present behind the longest beds, these rare species are always associated with a microhabitat characterized by a relatively fine-grained and highly stable substrate. A series of substrate manipulations combined with experimental seed additions indicated that the rare annuals Spergularia marina, Salicornia biglovii, and Atriplex arenaria are restricted to the longest Spartina beds because smaller beds lack suitable substrate. These experiments also suggest that seed supply, competitors, and herbivores are not the proximate causes of the absence of these species from smaller beds, although dispersal limitation may prevent the colonization of many larger habitable patches. The microhabitat required by the rare forbs appears to be generated by the deposition of fine-grained particles behind the center of the longest Spartina beds. Consequently, bed length is causally related to the distribution of populations at a landscape scale and to species richness and composition at the scale of a whole habitat patch.

description: Single species can have large effects on entire communities through habitat modification and facilitation. I tested the general hypothesis that the intertidal grass Spartina alterniflora facilitates the establishment and persistence of New England cobble beach plant communities by modifying the shoreline environment. This community is dominated by halophytic forbs and is restricted to estuarine cobble beaches bordered by Spartina. Beds of Spartina can reduce mean water velocity by 50% and maximum velocity by nearly an order of magnitude, and they can substantially stabilize the cobble substrate. Specifically, I determined the importance of five life history stages (seed supply, seed germination, seedling emergence, seedling establishment, and adult survival) and four factors (water velocity, substrate stability, herbivory, and soil quality) in limiting lateral plant distribution. A seed addition experiment demonstrated that seedlings could only emerge behind Spartina, suggesting that seedling emergence is the proximate life history stage limiting adult distribution. Seed germination and adult survival do not appear to be limiting stages, at least in an absolute sense. Although seed supply was much greater (~10-100 x) behind Spartina, a substantial number of seeds were caught in seed traps placed between beds, suggesting that seed supply also does not limit absolute plant distribution. These results are supported by the presence of seedlings buried below the substrate surface between beds at the time when seedlings are naturally emerging behind beds. A manipulative field experiment was performed to test the effects of substrate instability, soil quality, and herbivory on seedling emergence between beds. Seeds of two annual cobble beach species (Suaeda linearis and Salicornia europaea) were added to plots behind Spartina and also between beds with and without substrate stabilization manipulations. This treatment was designed to stabilize the substrate in a manner that would not affect water velocity and soil characteristics or prevent access by potential herbivores. When not buffered by Spartina, seedlings of both species were only able to emerge and survive when the substrate was artificially stabilized. These results indicate that Spartina alterniflora facilitates the establishment and persistence of cobble beach plant communities by stabilizing the substrate and enabling seedlings to emerge and survive.

description: Morphological plasticity is common among clonal organisms, including scleractinian corals, yet the role of phenotypic plasticity in coral ecology and evolution is largely unexplored. Additionally, it is unclear how much variation in plastic responses exists among individuals, populations, and species, and thus how much potential there is for natural selection to act on coral reaction norms. In the branching coral Madracis mirabilis, corallite architecture and density, branch diameter and spacing, and overall aggregate morphology all vary among environments. To examine the role of phenotypic plasticity in generating these patterns, clonal replicates of five genotypes of M. mirabilis were transplanted from each of two source populations into four treatment environments on the north coast of Jamaica. Flow rate, sedimentation, irradiance, water temperature, and salinity all varied among these environments. DNA fingerprinting was used to ensure that the 10 transplanted genotypes were genetically distinct. Six morphological traits (intersepta area, septa length, columella area, corallite area, corallite spacing, and branch tip diameter) were measured after transplantation to determine whether they were altered in response to environmental conditions. Because these traits were correlated, principal components analysis was used to define new, uncorrelated traits for analysis. Four of the five corallite traits and branch diameter were significantly affected by the environment, demonstrating that morphological variation among environments in M. mirabilis is due in large part to phenotypic plasticity. No difference was detected between the two source populations in the magnitude or direction of their plastic responses, but there was substantial variation among genotypes (genotype x environment interaction). Many of the phenotypic changes of both populations resulted in the transplants becoming morphologically similar to resident conspecifics in each treatment environment. Genotypes from both populations were able to maintain similar growth rates under diverse environmental conditions. Such morphological convergence by phenotypic plasticity may expand the ecological range of this species by enabling genotypes to tolerate spatially and temporally variable environments.

description: We investigate the interactions of large composite dark matter (DM) states with the Standard Model (SM) sector. Elastic scattering with SM nuclei can be coherently enhanced by factors as large as A^2, where A is the number of constituents in the composite state (there exist models in which DM states of very large A > 10^8 may be realised). This enhancement, for a given direct detection event rate, weakens the expected signals at colliders by up to 1/A. Moreover, the spatially extended nature of the DM states leads to an additional, characteristic, form factor modifying the momentum dependence of scattering processes, altering the recoil energy spectra in direct detection experiments. In particular, energy recoil spectra with peaks and troughs are possible, and such features could be confirmed with only O(50) events, independently of the assumed halo velocity distribution. Large composite states also generically give rise to low-energy collective excitations potentially relevant to direct detection and indirect detection phenomenology. We compute the form factor for a generic class of such excitations - quantised surface modes - finding that they can lead to coherently-enhanced, but generally sub-dominant, inelastic scattering in direct detection experiments. Finally, we study the modifications to capture rates in astrophysical objects that follow from the elastic form factor, as well as the effects of inelastic interactions between DM states once captured. We argue that inelastic interactions may lead to the DM collapsing to a dense configuration at the centre of the object.

description: Observations along the north coast of Jamaica in 1994 suggested that areas of relatively high coral cover and high coral diversity occurred adjacent to reefs that have been in decline since 1980. This study was carried out to quantify these observations, to determine whether similar variation occurs elsewhere in the Caribbean, and to draw attention to the significance of kilometer-wide variation in coral reef community ecology. The fore reef (10 m depth) of Discovery Bay, Jamaica, had <3% coral cover, 12 species of scleractinians and > 60% macroalgae cover and appeared typical of a highly degraded Caribbean reef. However, neighboring reefs (<9 km away) in the same reef zone and at the same depth had up to 19 species of scleractinians, significantly higher coral cover (5 to 23%) and lower macroalgae cover (10 to 39%). Three reefs along the south coast of St. John, US Virgin Islands (10 m depth), which are protected within a National Park, displayed comparable kilometer-wide variation in coral cover (3 to 33%) and macroalgae cover (22 to 33%). The abundance of juvenile corals also displayed similar levels of kilometer-wide variation within both islands. These results demonstrate that several measures of coral reef community structure are highly variable over a spatial scale of kilometers; further study of these patterns may prove valuable in discerning the causes and consequences of coral demise. The existence of such large-scale variation emphasizes the importance of careful choice of sampling scale in the design and interpretation of monitoring programs in community ecology.
