description: The orbital architecture of the Solar System is thought to have been sculpted by a dynamical instability among the giant planets. During the instability a primordial outer disk of planetesimals was destabilized and ended up on planet-crossing orbits. Most planetesimals were ejected into interstellar space but a fraction were trapped on stable orbits in the Kuiper belt and Oort cloud. We use a suite of N-body simulations to map out the diversity of planetesimals' dynamical pathways. We focus on two processes: tidal disruption from very close encounters with a giant planet, and loss of surface volatiles from repeated passages close to the Sun. We show that the rate of tidal disruption is more than a factor of two higher for ejected planetesimals than for surviving objects in the Kuiper belt or Oort cloud. Ejected planetesimals are preferentially disrupted by Jupiter and surviving ones by Neptune. Given that the gas giants contracted significantly as they cooled but the ice giants did not, taking into account the thermal evolution of the giant planets decreases the disruption rate of ejected planetesimals. The frequency of volatile loss and extinction is far higher for ejected planetesimals than for surviving ones and is not affected by the giant planets' contraction. Even if all interstellar objects were ejected from Solar System-like systems, our analysis suggests that their physical properties should be more diverse than those of Solar System small bodies as a result of their divergent dynamical histories. This is consistent with the characteristics of the two currently-known interstellar objects.

description: We present the largest currently existing subarcsecond 3-5 $μ$m atlas of 119 local ($z < 0.3$) active galactic nuclei (AGN). This atlas includes AGN of 5 subtypes: 22 are Seyfert 1; 5 are intermediate Seyferts; 46 are Seyfert 2; 26 are LINERs; and 20 are composites/starbursts. Each AGN was observed with VLT ISAAC in the $L$- and/or $M$-bands between 2000 and 2013. We detect at 3$σ$ confidence 92 sources in the $L$-band and 83 sources in the $M$-band. We separate the flux into unresolved nuclear flux and resolved flux through two-Gaussian fitting. We report the nuclear flux, extended flux, apparent size, and position angle of each source, giving $3σ$ upper-limits for sources which are undetected. Using WISE W1- and W2-band photometry we derive relations predicting the nuclear $L$ and $M$ fluxes for Sy1 and Sy2 AGN based on their W1-W2 color and WISE fluxes. Lastly, we compare the measured mid-infrared colors to those predicted by dusty torus models SKIRTOR, CLUMPY, CAT3D, and CAT3D-WIND, finding best agreement with the latter. We find that models including polar winds best reproduce the 3-5$μ$m colors, indicating that winds are an important component of dusty torus models. We find that several AGN are bluer than models predict. We discuss several explanations for this and find that it is most plausibly stellar light contamination within the ISAAC $L$-band nuclear fluxes.

description: A intencionalidade deste artigo é permitir uma caminhada junto ao leitor/a em torno dos (des) caminhos da Política Educacional para consolidar os direitos dos sujeitos que historicamente tiveram suas diferenças negadas por um pensamento de que as pessoas com deficiência eram incapazes, patológicas, anormais, carregando assim, a cultura da invisibilidade do sentir, pensar e agir, enquanto partícipes de uma sociedade que trouxe por longo tempo sombrio, em seu processo histórico, um estigma naturalizado do corpo “perfeito” como sinônimo de indivíduo belo, sábio e saudável. Como caminho metodológico, fez-se análise bibliográfica de natureza reflexiva com base teórica nos documentos legisladores das Políticas Educacionais no Brasil e teóricos que versam sobre a Educação Inclusiva e Educação Especial. A abordagem da sucessão cronológica do panorama histórico, político e social sobre a política educacional apresentada nos permite fomentar, discutir, romper com pensamentos paradigmáticos e lineares e, como pertinentemente nos aponta Freire (2018); Moraes (2016), Morin (2016), Piovesan (2006), dentre outros, promover pensamentos generosos e, conscientes da nossa responsabilidade com o outro e com a natureza, mas antes legitimar que o sentimento de alteridade nos faz seguir pelo caminho da inclusão.

description: This article is a written and modified version of a talk presented at the conference `A Century of Cosmology' held at San Servolo, Venice, Italy, in August 2007. The talk focuses on some of the cosmology history leading to the discovery and exploitation of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Radiation anisotropies. We have made tremendous advances first in the development of the techniques to observe these anisotropies and in observing and interpreting them to extract their contained cosmological information. CMB anisotropies are now a cornerstone in our understanding of the cosmos and our future progress in the field. This is an outcome that Dennis Sciama hoped for and encouraged.

description: Radiative transfer is a notoriously difficult and computationally demanding problem. Yet, it is an indispensable ingredient in nearly all astrophysical and cosmological simulations. Choosing an appropriate discretization scheme is a crucial part of the simulation, since it not only determines the direct memory cost of the model but also largely determines the computational cost and the achievable accuracy. In this paper, we show how an appropriate choice of directional discretization scheme as well as spatial model mesh can help alleviate the computational cost, while largely retaining the accuracy. First, we discuss the adaptive ray-tracing scheme implemented in our 3D radiative transfer library Magritte, that adapts the rays to the spatial mesh and uses a hierarchical directional discretization based on HEALPix. Second, we demonstrate how the free and open-source software library Gmsh can be used to generate high quality meshes that can be easily tailored for Magritte. In particular, we show how the local element size distribution of the mesh can be used to optimise the sampling of both analytically and numerically defined models. Furthermore, we show that when using the output of hydrodynamics simulations as input for a radiative transfer simulation, the number of elements in the input model can often be reduced by an order of magnitude, without significant loss of accuracy in the radiation field. We demonstrate this for two models based on a hierarchical octree mesh resulting from adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), as well as two models based on smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) data.

description: Many complex systems operating far from the equilibrium exhibit stochastic dynamics that can be described by a Langevin equation. Inferring Langevin equations from data can reveal how transient dynamics of such systems give rise to their function. However, dynamics are often inaccessible directly and can be only gleaned through a stochastic observation process, which makes the inference challenging. Here we present a non-parametric framework for inferring the Langevin equation, which explicitly models the stochastic observation process and non-stationary latent dynamics. The framework accounts for the non-equilibrium initial and final states of the observed system and for the possibility that the system's dynamics define the duration of observations. Omitting any of these non-stationary components results in incorrect inference, in which erroneous features arise in the dynamics due to non-stationary data distribution. We illustrate the framework using models of neural dynamics underlying decision making in the brain.

description: It is shown that extraordinary optical transmission through perforated metallic films is possible for s-polarization. Although surface plasmons do not exist for this polarization, their role can be played by a surface wave sustained by a thin dielectric layer on top of the metallic film. This confirms that the existence of a surface wave, whatever its nature, is the responsible for the extraordinary optical transmission phenomenon.

Ewe are what ewe eat: Using stable isotope analysis to infer diet specialization of cougars

description: Although typically referred to as a generalist species, individual prey specialization has been documented in cougars (Puma concolor). This behaviour has the potential to limit and regulate ungulate dynamics, particularly in cases where ungulates exist in small or isolated populations. Cougars are notoriously difficult to monitor due to their low density, large range-size, and solitary nature. Traditional methods used to quantitatively estimate the diets of these carnivores are often resource limited, labour intensive, and restricted in their resolution. We explored the use of stable isotope analysis to infer prey specialization of 7 cougars in west-central Alberta and compared results to observed specialization as estimated through kill-site analysis. We defined four isotopically distinct (P < 0.001) prey sources: bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), cervids (Odocoileus spp., Cervus elaphus, and Alces alces), small carnivores (canid spp. and Lynx canadensis), and snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus). Specialization inferred through stable isotope analysis agreed with observed estimates, indicating this method may be an efficient and reliable alternative to traditional approaches for monitoring cougar diets.

description: As escolas de educação infantil foram desafiadas a pensar formas de dar seguimento aos processos de desenvolvimento infantil na ausência da presencialidade, questão necessária para prevenção à disseminação da Covid-19. Vários questionamentos surgiram, nos primeiros dias de fechamento das escolas, em especial referentes a como seguir com o desenvolvimento das crianças, como realizar o planejamento e o acompanhamento das atividades pedagógicas e como estabelecer e manter os vínculos afetivos. É nesse cenário que esse artigo se inscreve, buscando relatar a experiência de ciclos de formação continuada de professores para apoiar e acompanhar as práticas docentes, desenvolvidos durante 2020 e 2021, frente ao cenário pandêmico, de uma Rede de Ensino Privada de Educação Básica do sul do Brasil, com 19 colégios, aproximadamente 270 educadores e mais de dois mil estudantes de educação infantil. Para tanto, o artigo apresenta como base conceitual às concepções de infância, os direitos de aprendizagem, formação docente e currículo da proposta pedagógica da educação infantil da Rede e os aspectos fundantes da Base Nacional Comum Curricular para o referido segmento da Educação Básica. Assim sendo, a pesquisa contribui para a ampliação da reflexão e do diálogo sobre a formação de professores e a prática docente, no contexto de afastamento social, desencadeado pela pandemia, visando explicitar o protagonismo infantil, a importância da participação da comunidade/famílias no ambiente escolar e do desenvolvimento curricular como espaço de experiências.

description: We construct a single-boundary wormhole geometry in type IIB supergravity by perturbing two stacks of $N$ extremal D3-branes in the decoupling limit. The solution interpolates from a two-sided planar AdS-Schwarzschild geometry in the interior, through a harmonic two-center solution in the intermediate region, to an asymptotic AdS space. The construction involves a CPT twist in the gluing of the wormhole to the exterior throats that gives a global monodromy to some coordinates, while preserving orientability. The geometry has a dual interpretation in $\mathcal{N}=4$ $SU(2N)$ Super Yang-Mills theory in terms of a Higgsed $SU(2N) \to S(U(N) \times U(N))$ theory in which $\mathcal{O} (N^2)$ degrees of freedom in each $SU(N)$ sector are entangled in an approximate thermofield double state at a temperature much colder than the Higgs scale. We argue that the solution can be made long-lived by appropriate choice of parameters, and comment on mechanisms for generating traversability. We also describe a construction of a double wormhole between two universes.

The ruminal microbiome of cattle
Part 2: Archaea – substrate specialists in the ruminal microbiome

Archaea are an important part of the ruminal microbiome. Although the methanogenic archaea make up only a small part of the microbial biomass in the rumen, they play an extremely important role in the whole rumen physiology. Their ability to utilize hydrogen (H2), reduces the inhibitory effect of H2 on the total microbial fermentation in the rumen.
This review article summarizes the current knowledge of archaea in the rumen and describes possible approaches to further reduce the methane emissions of cattle.
We are still far from being able to manipulate the ruminal microbiome selectively and on a large scale in practice. However, it remains a strategic objective.

Le microbiome ruminal des bovins
2e partie : les archéens – spécialistes du substrat dans le rumen du microbiome

Les archéens représentent une partie importante du microbiome ruminal.
Bien que les archéens méthanogènes ne constituent qu’une faible partie de la biomasse microbienne dans le rumen, ils jouent un rôle considérable dans toute la physiologie ruminale. Leur capacité d’exploiter l’hydrogène (H2) réduit l’effet inhibiteur de H2 sur l’ensemble de la fermentation microbienne dans le rumen.
Le présent article de synthèse regroupe les connaissances actuelles sur les archéens existant dans le rumen et décrit des approches possibles en vue de réduire l’émission de méthane par les bovins.
Nous sommes encore loin de pouvoir entreprendre une manipulation ciblée du microbiome ruminal sur une grande échelle et dans la pratique appliquée aux ruminants. Ceci reste pourtant un objectif stratégique.

description: The quasicontinuum method was originally introduced to bridge across length scales -- from atomistics to significantly larger continuum scales -- thus overcoming a key limitation of classical atomic-scale simulation techniques while solely relying on atomic-scale input (in the form of interatomic potentials). An associated challenge lies in bridging across time scales to overcome the time scale limitations of atomistics. To address the biggest challenge, bridging across both length and time scales, only a few techniques exist, and most of those are limited to conditions of constant temperature. Here, we present a new strategy for the space-time coarsening of an atomistic ensemble, which introduces thermomechanical coupling. We investigate the quasistatics and dynamics of a crystalline solid described as a lattice of lumped correlated Gaussian phase packets occupying atomic lattice sites. By definition, phase packets account for the dynamics of crystalline lattices at finite temperature through the statistical variances of atomic momenta and positions. We show that momentum-space correlation allows for an exchange between potential and kinetic contributions to the crystal's Hamiltonian. Consequently, local adiabatic heating due to atomic site motion is captured. Moreover, within the quasistatic approximation the governing equations reduce to the minimization of thermodynamic potentials such as Helmholtz free energy (depending on the fixed variables), and they yield the local equation of state. We further discuss opportunities for describing atomic-level thermal transport using the correlated Gaussian phase packet formulation and the importance of interatomic correlations. Such a formulation offers a promising avenue for a finite-temperature non-equilibrium quasicontinuum method that may be combined with thermal transport models.

We apply our general expressions to the case of a carbon dioxide CO$_2$ molecule close to a plane with pure Hall conductivity and to graphene. We show that the equilibrium position of this linear molecule is with its main axis perpendicular to the surface. We hence conjecture a possible way to exploit the Casimir torque to mechanically improve the performance of CO$_2$ separation membranes useful for an efficient atmospheric CO$_2$ reduction.

Este documento visa reestruturar todo o ensino médio através da introdução dos itinerários formativos. Dito isto, o presente artigo[1] visa apresentar as “fissuras” decoloniais existentes nesse documento, apontando possibilidades para a opção decololonial enquanto caminho para descolonizar o currículo. Para tanto, é fundamental que percorramos sobre os conceitos de colonialidade e decolonialidade, com o objetivo de identificar as “fissuras” decoloniais através da análise do referido documento. Trata-se de um trabalho com caráter qualitativo o qual combinou a leitura análitica ao relato de experiência enquanto partícipes do processo de elaboração do referencial. Este ensaio está estruturado em três partes: onde na primeira decorremos sobre os conceitos de colonialidade, decolonialide e desobediência epistêmica; na segunda, descrevemos a atual estrutura do novo Referencial Curricular de Ciências Humanas e Sociais Aplicadas de Alagoas; e, na última, apresentamos o que consideramos como “fissuras” decoloniais presentes no novo documento. Concluímos apontanto que existe a possibilidade de utilização do pensamento fronteiço como instrumento para a desobediência epistêmica, vislumbrando romper com os epistemicídios.

description: We present a new method to measure the vertical aerosol optical depth (VAOD) during clear nights using a wide-field imager - a CCD camera with a photographic lens on an equatorial mount. A series of 30-second exposures taken at different altitudes above the horizon can be used to measure the VAOD with a precision better than 0.008 optical depths within a few minutes. Such a measurement does not produce any light and is thus suitable for use at sites where other astronomical instruments are located. The precision of the VAOD measurement depends on laboratory calibration of spectral properties of the system and of the response of the camera electronics to varying illumination levels, as well as careful considerations of details of stellar photometry and modelling of the dependence of measured stellar fluxes star color and position within the field of view. The results obtained with robotic setups at the future sites of the Cherenkov Telescope Array show good internal consistency and agreement with the simultaneous measurements from a Sun/Moon Photometer located at the same site.

description: We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) redshift catalogue to look for galaxies with accordant redshifts in the nearby environment (up to ~2 Mpc) of 15 Hickson Compact Groups (HCG) and 7 more HCG+environment from the literature. We find that: (a) HCG's tend to be aligned with the overall galaxy distribution in their ~1 Mpc environment, (b) the well-established orientation effect by which the group velocity dispersion correlates with group axial ratio, is present also in the HCG+environment systems, (c) the radial velocity dispersion of the HCG+environment systems and of ordinary poor groups only weakly depends on the group richness, (d) the mean absolute K-band magnitude of E/S0 galaxies in HCGs is similar to that in ordinary poor groups, and is brighter than that of isolated E/S0's, indicating that they were formed by the merging of two galaxies of similar luminosity, (e) the fraction of E/S0 galaxies in these HCGs depends only weakly on the group richness and velocity dispersion, (f) the fraction of AGNs is similar in the HCGs and their close environment, while that of starbursts is significantly higher in the HCGs, (g) the fraction of AGNs and starbursts is anti-correlated with the velocity dispersion of the HCG+environment systems. Furthermore, the observed fractions of early-type and active galaxies as well as their correlations with the group velocity dispersion suggests a picture by which nuclear activity and galaxy transformation by merging is instigated by effective gravitational interactions in the low-velocity dispersion groups, which then dynamically evolve via virialization processes to higher velocity dispersion groups, which thus have a higher fraction of early-type galaxies.

description: Modern data-driven tools are transforming application-specific polymer development cycles. Surrogate models that can be trained to predict the properties of new polymers are becoming commonplace. Nevertheless, these models do not utilize the full breadth of the knowledge available in datasets, which are oftentimes sparse; inherent correlations between different property datasets are disregarded. Here, we demonstrate the potency of multi-task learning approaches that exploit such inherent correlations effectively, particularly when some property dataset sizes are small. Data pertaining to 36 different properties of over $13, 000$ polymers (corresponding to over $23,000$ data points) are coalesced and supplied to deep-learning multi-task architectures. Compared to conventional single-task learning models (that are trained on individual property datasets independently), the multi-task approach is accurate, efficient, scalable, and amenable to transfer learning as more data on the same or different properties become available. Moreover, these models are interpretable. Chemical rules, that explain how certain features control trends in specific property values, emerge from the present work, paving the way for the rational design of application specific polymers meeting desired property or performance objectives.

description: This review presents an overview of the thermal properties of mesoscopic structures. The discussion is based on the concept of electron energy distribution, and, in particular, on controlling and probing it. The temperature of an electron gas is determined by this distribution: refrigeration is equivalent to narrowing it, and thermometry is probing its convolution with a function characterizing the measuring device. Temperature exists, strictly speaking, only in quasiequilibrium in which the distribution follows the Fermi-Dirac form. Interesting nonequilibrium deviations can occur due to slow relaxation rates of the electrons, e.g., among themselves or with lattice phonons. Observation and applications of nonequilibrium phenomena are also discussed. The focus in this paper is at low temperatures, primarily below 4 K, where physical phenomena on mesoscopic scales and hybrid combinations of various types of materials, e.g., superconductors, normal metals, insulators, and doped semiconductors, open up a rich variety of device concepts. This review starts with an introduction to theoretical concepts and experimental results on thermal properties of mesoscopic structures. Then thermometry and refrigeration are examined with an emphasis on experiments. An immediate application of solid-state refrigeration and thermometry is in ultrasensitive radiation detection, which is discussed in depth. This review concludes with a summary of pertinent fabrication methods of presented devices.

description: Diante do aumento da intolerância, do discurso de ódio e do negacionismo da ciência no mundo contemporâneo, a escola tende a ser o local privilegiado para a análise crítica e superação desta conjuntura, uma vez que é espaço estratégico para a educação cidadã em bases democráticas e inclusivas. Este trabalho objetiva estudar as ações de intervenção vinculadas a linha de formação docente do Projeto: “Conexão Escola-Mundo: espaços inovadores para formação cidadã”, com vistas ao levantamento das possibilidades e desafios de uma formação/ação docente centrada em uma educação para a autoria, colaboração e produção, na escola com jeito hacker de ser. A perspectiva hacker demonstrou-se favorável à constituição de um espaço formativo não hierárquico, fortalecendo a relação entre as demandas da cultura digital e a educação em direitos humanos.

description: Enquadramento: O diagnóstico precoce, os avanços terapêuticos e o acesso a cuidados, têm contribuído para o aumento do número de sobreviventes de cancro da mama, contudo podem apresentar sequelas físicas, psicológicas e sociais. A cirurgia da mama associada a esvaziamento ganglionar axilar aumenta a gravidade dessas sequelas quer na mama, quer no membro superior homolateral, diminuindo a qualidade de vida e reduzindo as competências para realizar as atividades diárias. Foi neste plano de reflexão que desenhamos o presente estudo, tendo como objetivos: avaliar os contributos de um programa de enfermagem de reabilitação na melhoria da qualidade de vida das mulheres submetidas a cirurgia da mama com esvaziamento ganglionar axilar; e avaliar a capacidade para desempenhar o autocuidado usando o membro superior homolateral à cirurgia, em mulheres submetidas a cirurgia da mama com esvaziamento ganglionar axilar após um programa de enfermagem de reabilitação.Métodos: Trata-se de um ensaio clínico não randomizado (quase experimental) de avaliação pré e pós intervenção, durante 3 meses no domicílio de 48 mulheres, recrutadas num Centro Hospitalar, entre 2018 e 2019. O programa de intervenção de enfermagem de reabilitação foi aplicado e supervisionado pela investigadora principal e compreendeu uma sessão individual de educação para a saúde sobre medidas de redução de risco de linfedema, ensinar sobre exercícios de mobilização da coluna cervical e do membro superior homolateral à cirurgia, e massagem do braço e cicatriz. Os instrumentos utilizados foram um questionário sociodemográfico, os questionários EORTC QLQ-C30 e EORTC QLQ-BR23 e o questionário DASH.DiscussãoEste ensaio fornecerá informações sobre a eficácia de um programa de enfermagem de reabilitação individual e no domicílio das mulheres submetidas a cirurgia da mama com esvaziamento ganglionar axilar.

description: The picture of space-time that Minkowski created in 1907 has been followed by two important developments in physics not contained in the original picture: general relativity and quantum mechanics. We will argue that the use of concepts of those theories to construct space-time implies conceptual modifications in quantum mechanics. In particular one can construct a viable picture of quantum mechanics without a reduction process that has outcomes equivalent to a picture with a reduction process. One therefore has two theories that are entirely equivalent experimentally but profoundly different in the description of reality they give. This introduces a fundamental level of undecidability in physics of a kind that has not been present before. We discuss some of the implications.

Rhetoric and the Humanities: New Perspectives on Culture, Arts, and the Media
Creators: name: Berning, Nora
Publisher: name: KULT_online
Year: 2013

description: In his 2013 monograph Modern Rhetoric in Culture, Arts, and Media (de Gruyter), Joachim Knape develops a modern theory of rhetoric that sheds light on the communicative and cultural aspects that have thus far been neglected by scholars of rhetoric. Knape concentrates on selected fields of application (literature, music, graphics, feature films) that allow him to demonstrate that rhetorical studies are of increasing relevance for the humanities and for society more generally. Though Knape’s work is firmly grounded in rhetorical approaches, his book opens up portals for dialogue between rhetoric and poetics as well as between rhetoric and visual studies or media theory, to name but a few examples. Knape’s case studies can thus serve as starting points for further research on goal-directed and strategic communication across the disciplines.

description: We have applied an entanglement purification protocol to produce a single entangled pair of photons capable of violating a CHSH Bell inequality from two pairs that individually could not. The initial poorly-entangled photons were created by a controllable decoherence that introduced complex errors. All of the states were reconstructed using quantum state tomography which allowed for a quantitative description of the improvement of the state after purification.

description: For the three-dimensional hard-sphere model we investigate the inhomogeneous two-body correlations predicted by Rosenfeld's fundamental measure theory. For the special cases in which the density has either planar or spherical symmetry we provide analytic formulae for the Hankel and Legendre transforms, respectively, of the inhomogeneous two-body direct correlation function as explicit functionals of the density. When combined with the Ornstein-Zernike relation our analytical results allow for rapid calculation of inhomogeneous hard-sphere density correlations in real-space. These provide not only information about the packing structures of the hard-sphere system, but also form an essential building-block for constructing perturbation theories of more realistic models.
Generalization of Yang-Mills Theory

description: In the present paper we shall extend the gauge principle so that it will enlarge the original algebra of the Abelian gauge transformations found earlier in our studies of tensionless strings to the non-Abelian case. In this extension of the Yang-Mills theory the vector gauge boson becomes a member of a bigger family of gauge bosons of arbitrary large integer spins. The invariant Lagrangian does not contain higher derivatives of tensor gauge fields and all interactions take place through three- and four-particle exchanges with dimensionless coupling constant. The extended gauge theory has the same index of divergences of its Feynman diagrams as the Yang-Mills theory does and most probably will be renormalizable. The proposed extension may lead to a natural inclusion of the standard theory of fundamental forces into a larger theory in which vector gauge bosons, leptons and quarks represent a low-spin subgroup of an enlarged family of particles with higher spins. I analyze the masses of the new tensor gauge bosons, their decay and creation processes in the extended model.

description: We study the contribution to the proton's magnetic moment from a heavy quark sea in quantum chromodynamics. The heavy quark is integrated out perturbatively to obtain an effective dimension-6 magnetic moment operator composed of three gluon fields. The leading contribution to the matrix element in the proton comes from a quadratically divergent term associated with a light-quark tensor operator. With an approximate knowledge of the proton's tensor charge, we conclude that a heavy sea-quark contribution to the proton's magnetic moment is positive in the asymptotic limit. We comment on the implication of this result for the physical strange quark.
