description: Using the one-parameter internal symmetry group in the Bianchi type-I spacetime for cosmological models with a perfect fluid, we show that a system of coordinates exists in the associated internal space where two scale factors become equal. We find the general solution for an anisotropic model containing a perfect fluid with constant baryotropic index and investigate the asymptotic regimes. We obtain exact solutions for a set of anisotropic fluids which includes an anisotropic stiff fluid.

description: In this paper, we consider the sparse phase retrieval problem, recovering an $s$-sparse signal $\bm{x}^{\natural}\in\mathbb{R}^n$ from $m$ phaseless samples $y_i=|\langle\bm{x}^{\natural},\bm{a}_i\rangle|$ for $i=1,\ldots,m$. Existing sparse phase retrieval algorithms are usually first-order and hence converge at most linearly. Inspired by the hard thresholding pursuit (HTP) algorithm in compressed sensing, we propose an efficient second-order algorithm for sparse phase retrieval. Our proposed algorithm is theoretically guaranteed to give an exact sparse signal recovery in finite (in particular, at most $O(\log m + \log(\|\bm{x}^{\natural}\|_2/|x_{\min}^{\natural}|))$) steps, when $\{\bm{a}_i\}_{i=1}^{m}$ are i.i.d. standard Gaussian random vector with $m\sim O(s\log(n/s))$ and the initialization is in a neighborhood of the underlying sparse signal. Together with a spectral initialization, our algorithm is guaranteed to have an exact recovery from $O(s^2\log n)$ samples. Since the computational cost per iteration of our proposed algorithm is the same order as popular first-order algorithms, our algorithm is extremely efficient. Experimental results show that our algorithm can be several times faster than existing sparse phase retrieval algorithms.

 Examined material. Holotype Ƌ: France, Alpes-Maritimes, Courségoules, 945 m, 06.VII.1995, Th. Varenne leg., genitalia slide JN n°4082 (RCTV).
BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 28201; BOLD Sequence ID PALEA191-20.
BIN: none
 Identity: Stomopteryx spathulella Nel, Varenne & Labonne, 2019, identity uncertain.
 Remarks. Stomopteryx spathulella was described from several specimens of both sexes (Nel et al. 2019). DNA barcoding of the holotype failed but the species belongs to an unresolved species complex, reflected in the extraordinarily divergent barcodes comprising eight different BINs as well as differences in phenotype. However, as pointed by Huemer & Karsholt (2020), the whole complex requires thorough revisionary work and a re-evaluation of available names.

description: Inner-shell electrons naturally sense the electric field close to the nucleus, which can reach extreme values beyond $10^{15}\,\text{V}/\text{cm}$ for the innermost electrons. Especially in few-electron highly charged ions, the interaction with the electromagnetic fields can be accurately calculated within quantum electrodynamics (QED), rendering these ions good candidates to test the validity of QED in strong fields. Consequently, their Lamb shifts were intensively studied in the last decades. Another approach is the measurement of $g$ factors in highly charged ions. However, so far, either experimental accuracy or small field strength in low-$Z$ ions limited the stringency of these QED tests. Here, we report on our high-precision, high-field test of QED in hydrogenlike $^{118}$Sn$^{49+}$. The highly charged ions were produced with the Heidelberg-EBIT (electron beam ion trap) and injected into the ALPHATRAP Penning-trap setup, where the bound-electron $g$ factor was measured with a precision of 0.5 parts-per-billion. For comparison, we present state-of-the-art theory calculations, which together test the underlying QED to about $0.012\,\%$, yielding a stringent test in the strong-field regime. With this measurement, we challenge the best tests via the Lamb shift and, with anticipated advances in the $g$-factor theory, surpass them by more than an order of magnitude.

 Remarks. Elachista anserinelloides was described from a male holotype and six other specimens of both sexes (Nel 2003a). The species was superficially compared with a larger number of species. We were able to obtain a complete DNA barcode sequence of the holotype, although with 89 ambiguous bases, and a further complete DNA barcode of the paratype published as allotype. Both sequences are largely similar and group within the same BIN, with ca. 2.8% distance to the nearest neighbour in BOLD, Elachista clivella Kaila, 2015 from Russian Altai, a species quite different externally and in genitalia morphology.

description: Using molecular dynamics (MD) we study the dependency of the contact mechanics on the sliding speed when an elastically soft slab (block) is sliding on a rigid substrate with a ${\rm sin} (q_0 x)$ surface height profile. The atoms on the block interact with the substrate atoms by Lennard-Jones potentials. We consider contacts with and without adhesion. We found that the contact area and the friction force are nearly velocity independent for small velocities ($v < 0.25 \ {\rm m/s}$) in spite of the fact that the shear stress in the contact area is rather non-uniform. For the case of no adhesion the friction coefficient is very small. For the case of adhesion the friction coefficient is higher, and is mainly due to energy dissipation at the opening crack tip, where rapid atomic snap-off events occur during sliding. Adhesion experiments between a human finger and a clean glass plate were carried out, and for a dry finger no macroscopic adhesion occurred. We suggest that the observed decrease in the contact area with increasing shear force results from non-adhesive finger-glass contact mechanics, involving large deformations of a complex layered material.

description: It is shown that a QCD based nuclear absorption model, with few parameters fixed to reproduce experimental $J/ψ$ yield in 200 GeV pp/pA and 450 GeV pA collisions can explain the preliminary PHENIX data on the centrality dependence of $J/ψ$ suppression in Cu+Cu collisions at RHIC energy, $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV. However, the model does not give satisfactory description to the preliminary PHENIX data on the centrality dependence of $J/ψ$ suppression in Au+Au collisions. The analysis suggest that in Au+Au collisions, $J/ψ$ are suppressed in a medium unlike the medium produced in SPS energy nuclear collisions or in RHIC energy Cu+Cu collisions.

Novel Search for Light Dark Photon in the Forward Experiments at the LHC

description: We propose a novel approach for discovering a light dark photon in the forward experiments at the LHC, including the SND@LHC and the FASER experiments. Assuming the dark photon is lighter than twice the electron mass and feebly interacts with ordinary matter, it is long-lived enough to pass through 100 m of rock in front of the forward experiments and also through the detector targets. However, some portion of them could be converted into an electron-positron pair inside the detector through their interaction with the detector target, leaving an isolated electromagnetic shower as a clear new physics signature of the dark photon. With copiously produced dark photons from neutral pion decays in the forward region of the LHC, we expect to observe sizable events inside the detector. Our estimation shows that more than 10 signal events of the dark photon could be observed in the range of kinetic mixing parameter, $6.2\times10^{-5} \lesssim ε\lesssim 2\times10^{-1}$ and $3\times10^{-5} \lesssim ε\lesssim 2\times10^{-1}$ for dark photon mass $m_{A^\prime} \lesssim$ 1 MeV with integrated luminosities of 150 fb$^{-1}$ and 3 ab$^{-1}$, respectively.

 Remarks. Elachista bidentata was described from a male holotype and separated from E. orstadii on subtle differences in genitalia (Varenne & Nel 2019). However, the DNA barcode sequence of the holotype fully corresponds with the latter species and the alleged genitalia differences are within the intraspecific variation of large samples from Europe and Siberia (Kaila in litt.). We therefore synonymize E. bidentata with E. orstadii.

In these models, the formation of localized massive objects enhances structure formation, potentially addressing the excess recently observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), while remaining consistent with existing constraints. We identify viable parameter space with the ALP mass in the range of $10^{-22}~{\rm eV}

title: Producing new welfare spaces: local labour market policies in the UK and Denmark
Creators: name: Etherington, David
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: One of the significant features and characteristics of the 'post Keynesian' shift in the welfare state or settlement is the emergence of 'workfare' as a dominant policy regime. Workfare involves supply side economic and social policy in the management of the unemployed and reserve army of labour. Social benefits are increasingly conditional on the unemployed participating in employment and training programmes. These policies are related to a dominant neo liberal politics whereby the market, including 'employability' and work, is seen as a route out of social exclusion. The thesis explores this theme through a comparison of two diverse welfare systems - the UK and Denmark. Through a comparative analysis, the thesis explores how far workfare is in fact a new 'mode of social regulation' or constitutes just a key element of restructuring of the contemporary welfare state. Two central elements of welfare restructuring are explored. First relates to the decentralisation of policies to different spatial scales: localities, cities and regions. Two case studies are chosen, Sheffield (UK) and Aalborg (OK), to explore the dynamics of spatial resealing of welfare and the politics of geographical uneven development, revealing that the local is a site for innovation and adaptation and as a consequence plays a crucial role in mediating national policy production. Second, as welfare is a social construction, political agency and actors within welfare-work policy regimes such as trade unions, community and social movements are of central importance to contesting and negotiating workfare at different spatial scales, including the locality. The central argument of the thesis is that 'localisation' as such involves the production of new welfare spaces which is inherently contradictory, unstable, prone to crisis and contested. The research argues that an understanding of the role of the 'local' as such is of importance to any assessment of future welfare trajectories.

Maps preserving absolute continuity and singularity of positive operators

Subjects: subject: Functional Analysis (math.FA)

description: In this paper we consider the cone of all positive, bounded operators acting on an infinite dimensional, complex Hilbert space, and examine bijective maps that preserve absolute continuity in both directions. It turns out that these maps are exactly those that preserve singularity in both directions. Moreover, in some weak sense, such maps are always induced by bounded, invertible, linear- or conjugate linear operators of the underlying Hilbert space. Our result gives a possible generalization of a recent theorem of Molnar which characterizes maps on the positive cone that preserve the Lebesgue decomposition of operators.
International relations from below the state : Brazilian environmentalism and the green economy

description: The idea of “international relations from below” challenges the notion which has predominated the field of international relations, understood as a field concerned with politics from “above”, defined in terms of liberal order, modernity, and Western-dominated notions of progress. Calls for the field to shift towards analysis “from below serve as a reminder that the field must confront a central, yet unproductive divide between wholes and parts. Anarchic relations and modernity are central to this divide, and indicative of the field's blinders are also the bifurcations between dependency theory's analysis of capitalism and economics, and post-colonial analysis' relegation within cultural studies, neglecting political economy (Blaney and Inayatullah, 2008). An excavation of the relationship between states and systems of capitalism, modernity, and the liberal order is necessary in order tore-imagine the field within a more integrative ontology of power relations (Blaney and Inayatullah, 2008, Darby,2004). This paper delves into one empirical corner of such excavation work, through asking: how does Brazil interact with the evolving global liberal order on environmental issues?

description: Both parameters in the Higgs field's potential, its mass and quartic coupling, appear fine-tuned to near-critical values, which gives rise to the hierarchy problem and the metastability of the electroweak vacuum. Whereas such behavior appears puzzling in the context of particle physics, it is a common feature of dynamical systems, which has led to the suggestion that the parameters of the Higgs potential could be set through some dynamical process. In this article, we discuss how this notion could be extended to physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). We first review in which sense the SM Higgs parameters can be understood as near-critical and show that this notion can be extrapolated in a unique way for a generic class of SM extensions. Our main result is a prediction for the parameters of such models in terms of their corresponding Standard Model effective field theory Wilson coefficients and corresponding matching scale. For generic models, our result suggests that the scale of new (bosonic) physics lies close to the instability scale. We explore the potentially observable consequences of this connection, and illustrate aspects of our analysis with a concrete example. Lastly, we discuss implications of our results for several mechanisms of dynamical vacuum selection associated with various Beyond-Standard-Model (BSM) constructions.

description: Em 2000, os dirigentes mundiais reunidos na Cimeira do Milénio reafirmaram as suas obrigações comuns para com todas as pessoas do mundo, especialmente as mais vulneráveis. Comprometeram-se então a atingir um conjunto de objectivos específicos, que guiaram os seus esforços colectivos num horizonte temporal de 15 anos no que diz respeito ao combate à pobreza e ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Cumprido o tempo previsto podemos constatar que a maior parte dos países em desenvolvimento não atingiram as metas propostas, principalmente os países da região da África Subsaariana. Isto leva-nos a concluir que as soluções propostas para o alcance das metas estabelecidas não surtiram o efeito pretensamente desejado. Cabo Verde, um pequeno estado, insular e desprovido de recursos naturais, tem contrariado esta tendência dominante e têm conseguido alguns progressos em sectores-chave para melhoria da qualidade de vida das suas populações e em convergência com as Metas de Desenvolvimento do Milénio. Nos meados do século passado, com o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial, as lideranças políticas das principais potências deram inicio a uma nova forma de compreender e tratar os principais problemas do mundo. Dentro do leque de problemas identificados a questão de "como resolver o problema do subdesenvolvimento" de muitas regiões do mundo ganhou um destaque especial. A industrialização, urbanização e a modernização da agricultura eram os principais desafios a serem enfrentados pelos países pobres com a "ajuda" dos países ricos e da Organização das Nações Unidas.

Based on the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, the minimum uncertainty of the mirror's position measurement from both quantum and thermal noises effects including the photon counting error in the laser interferometer is obtained in the small time limit as compared with the "standard quantum limit". The result of the large time behavior of fluctuations of the mirror's velocity in a dissipative environment can be applied to the laser interferometer of the ground-based gravitational wave detector.

description: We discuss stabilizer quantum-error correction codes implemented in a single multi-level qudit to avoid resource escalation typical of multi-qubit codes. These codes can be customized to the specific physical errors on the qudit, effectively suppressing them. We demonstrate a Fault-Tolerant implementation on molecular spin qudits, showcasing nearly exponential error suppression with only linear qudit size growth. Notably, this outperforms qubit codes using thousands of units. We also outline the required properties for a generic physical system to Fault-Tolerantly implement these embedded codes.

On scales k < 0.16 h/Mpc, our maximum likelihood values are Omega_m*h = 0.264 +/-0.043, f_b = 0.286 +/- 0.065, sigma8 = 0.966 +/- 0.048, and beta = 0.45 +/- 0.12. When we take a prior on Omega_b from WMAP, we find Omega_m*h = 0.207 +/- 0.030, which is in excellent agreement with WMAP and 2dF. This indicates that we have reasonably measured the gross shape of the power spectrum but we have difficulty breaking the degeneracy between Omega_m*h and f_b because the baryon oscillations are not resolved in the current spectroscopic survey window function.

title: The Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as an Alternative Model for Bacterial Infection
Creators: name: Khechara, Martin Peter
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: The usefulness of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model of bacterial infection has been assessed. Initially a plate-based mortality assay was established using Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A novel method for assessing bacterial virulence towards C. elegans in liquid media was also developed. These assays were used to investigate the virulence of strains from the Burkholderia cepacia complex, Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia thailandensis. The results from the plate-based mortality assay mirrored the virulence of B. pseudomallei and B. thailandensis in mammals. However the results also showed that this method was not suitable for the investigation of the B. cepacia complex. Assays carried out in liquid media were not a robust measure of bacterial virulence for any of the Burkholderia strains tested.

The C. elegans model was also used to investigate virulence mechanisms of B. pseudomallei. B. pseudomallei can adhere to and invade a variety of mammalian cell types. Transmission electron microscopy was used to investigate the interactions of B. pseudomallei with the cells of the C. elegans gut. No evidence of adherent bacterial cells or invasion of the tissues surrounding the gut was seen. A panel of B. pseudomallei transposon mutants was screened in C. elegans. A single transposon mutant was identified that was attenuated in nematodes and was subsequently also shown to be attenuated in BALB/c mice. The interrupted gene encoded a putative aldehyde dehydrogenase. This protein has not been previously shown to play a role in the virulence of B. pseudomallei. The nematode model was also used to screen a B. pseudomallei genomic cosmid library in E. coli for clones with increased virulence. However the data indicated that this method could not be utilised for the identification of B. pseudomallei virulence genes without further development.

description: For now several years, many researchers have emphasized the importance and effectiveness of parole in the reintegration process of offenders, especially in reducing recidivism rates. A review of the existing literature revealed that, although little was known about conditional release decision-making in general, there was a flagrant lack of scientific knowledge pertaining to conditional release decisions regarding women offenders incarcerated in Canada. Using a constructionist theoretical framework and qualitative thematic analysis, this research aimed to understand which “factors” were documented by the Parole Board of Canada’s (PBC) Board members in their written parole decisions for federally incarcerated women in Canada who were serving a sentence of five years or more, between 2005 and 2015. The findings ultimately showed that, despite the implementation of more stringent government policies based on risk management, the PBC’s Board members seem to have retained their concern of promoting the reintegration of women offenders in their parole decisions. The analysis revealed that the Board members have indeed continued to place great emphasis on the women’s potential for change through a discretionary assessment of their dynamic factors. This seemingly more reintegrative vision nevertheless remains marked by the risk management approach, which raises questions about the way Board members interpret and evaluate the specific needs of the women and their potential for reintegration.

description: We present 1.3 mm ALMA dust polarization observations at a resolution of $\sim$0.02 pc of three massive molecular clumps, MM1, MM4, and MM9, in the infrared dark cloud G28.34+0.06. With the sensitive and high-resolution continuum data, MM1 is resolved into a cluster of condensations. The magnetic field structure in each clump is revealed by the polarized emission. We found a trend of decreasing polarized emission fraction with increasing Stokes $I$ intensities in MM1 and MM4. Using the angular dispersion function method (a modified Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method), the plane-of-sky magnetic field strength in two massive dense cores, MM1-Core1 and MM4-Core4, are estimated to be $\sim$1.6 mG and $\sim$0.32 mG, respectively. \textbf{The ordered magnetic energy is found to be smaller than the turbulent energy in the two cores, while the total magnetic energy is found to be comparable to the turbulent energy.} The total virial parameters in MM1-Core1 and MM4-Core4 are calculated to be $\sim$0.76 and $\sim$0.37, respectively, suggesting that massive star formation does not start in equilibrium. Using the polarization-intensity gradient-local gravity method, we found that the local gravity is closely aligned with intensity gradient in the three clumps, and the magnetic field tends to be aligned with the local gravity in MM1 and MM4 except for regions near the emission peak, which suggests that the gravity plays a dominant role in regulating the gas collapse. Half of the outflows in MM4 and MM9 are found to be aligned within 10$^{\circ}$ of the condensation-scale ($

description: We have carried out a synthetic spectral analysis of archival IUE spectra of the old nova V841 Oph (Nova Oph 1848) taken 15 years apart. The spectra reveal a rising continuum shortward of 1560Å, a C {\sc iv} P-Cygni profile indicative of wind outflow associated with disk accretion in one spectrum, a deep Ly $α$ profile, and strong N {\sc v} (1238Å, 1242Å) and O {\sc v} (1371Å) wind/coronal absorption lines. Numerous sharp interstellar resonance lines are also present. A grid of high gravity atmospheres and accretion disk models, spanning a wide range of inclinations, accretion rates and white dwarf masses was compared to the de-reddened spectra. We find that, for a steady state accretion disk model to account for the FUV spectra, the accretion rate is only $\sim$3 $\times$ 10$^{-11}$ M$_{\sun}$/yr, 147 years after its outburst in 1848, with an implied distance within $\sim$300 pc. The accretion rate at 147 years post-outburst is smaller than expected for an old nova.

description: We have obtained the optimal upper bound of entropic uncertainty relation for $N$ Mutually Unbiased Bases (MUBs). We have used the methods of variational calculus for the states that can be written in terms of $N$ MUBs. Our result is valid for any state when $N$ is $d+1$, where $d$ is the dimension of the related system. We provide a quantitative criterion for the extendibilty of MUBs. In addition, we have applied our result to the mutual information of $d+1$ observables conditioned with a classical memory.

 Identity: Elachista rosselloensis Varenne & Nel, 2019
 Remarks. Elachista rosselloensis was described from a single male holotype. The worn specimen with overall white appearance was compared with other superficially similar looking species (Nel & Varenne 2019a) but not with the morphologically closest species E. bedellella (Sircom, 1848) (Kaila in litt.). We have been able to obtain a short sequence of the holotype with 259bp which, however, corresponds to E. squamosella (Duponchel, 1843) with 99.6% similarity. The latter species is quite different externally and in genitalia morphology and similarity in DNA barcode may be due to the short sequence. E. rosseloensis was not considered in the almost simultaneously published World Catalogue of Elachistidae (Kaila 2019).

description: O Programa de Cantinas Escolares em Cabo Verde foi iniciado com apoio do Programa Alimentar Mundial (PAM) em 1979 tendo como metas aumentar a escolarização, combater a insegurança alimentar e cobrir as necessidades nutricionais dos alunos. Com a transição de Cabo Verde para um país de rendimento médio, o PAM retirou-se e as cantinas passaram a ser geridas 100% pelo governo a partir de 2010. Foi assim estabelecido um programa de alimentação escolar com o objectivo de assegurar uma refeição diária a todas as crianças de escolas do Ensino Básico e do pré-escolar fornecendo pelo menos 15% das necessidades nutricionais diárias dos estudantes (FICASE, 2015). A gestão das aquisições eram centralizadas, realizadas com frequência trimestral e de poucos produtos básicos. Todos os alimentos adquiridos para constituir o menu, constituído por uma refeição quente por turno escolar, eram importados. Nenhum era adquirido dos produtores nacionais, menos ainda de agricultores locais. Os menus compostos por arroz, óleo, feijão, farinha de milho, farinha de trigo, sal, carne enlatada, açúcar e macarrão eram provenientes de diversos países (TRICHES, SCHNEIDER & SIMÕES, 2013). É nesse contexto que o projeto-piloto “Compras locais” foi implementado de junho de 2012 a junho 2014 em Cabo Verde, com o intuito de, enquanto um programa experimental, proporcionar inputs com vista diversificação da ementa escolar, abastecimento das cantinas escolares (do pré-escolar e do básico) com produtos nacionais como frutas, legumes, pescado e feijões e estabelecendo parcerias entre os vários atores envolvidos para melhorar a qualidade nutricional das refeições escolares, estimulando a economia local. A partir dessa proposta de articulação entre o consumo e a produção de alimentos com foco no mercado institucional, este trabalho estabeleceu como meta analisar como é que se efetivou o processo de aquisição de produtos da agricultura familiar, identificando os fornecedores, os gêneros alimentícios e as quantidades demandadas, bem como os intervenientes e as estruturas existentes nas escolas. Em termos de estrutura, o presente trabalho, numa primeira instância, nos apresenta em linhas gerais o protocolo metodológico adotado com vista ao recolhimento de dados e de seguida a secção “Agricultura e abastecimento escolar: lições do terreno e boas práticas”, apresenta e analisa os dados recolhidos a partir do ponto de vista dos vários intervenientes no programa (gestores, cozinheiras, agricultores e serviços locais).

description: During 1982 and 1983, more than 100 algal samples were collected from several sites of infestation. All samples were examined under the microscope with the exception of Chara species. The identification work was limited to the genera. The predominant genera identified were Hydrodictyon, Spirogyra, Rhizoclonium and Oedogonium. Other less abundant genera were Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, Bacillaria, Chara, Chlorosarcina, Cladophora, Closterium, Cosmarium, Diatoma, Eremosphaera, Fragilaria, Gyrosigma, Hormidium, Nannochloris, Navicula, Oscillatoria, Pithophora, Phacus, Protococcus, Pyrobotrys, Roya, Scenedesmus, Spirulina, Synedra, Symploca and Ulothrix. The relative abundance of these genera of algae on different rice farms in Puerto Rico is also reported.
