description: Let me assert from the outset that contemporary politics and governance in Micronesia are influenced to a large extent by the traditional system which underlies the modern system. This traditional system has given a unique Micronesian flavour to contemporary politics and governance, albeit undemocratic in some cases. With careful nurturing through regular briefings and consultation by government leaders, the traditional chiefs can be relied upon to muster the necessary public support for policy implementation. The customary power of the traditional chiefs in Micronesia varied from culture to culture. For instance, on Kosrae the power was centralised in a very powerful ruler, while on Yap, the power of the chiefs was decentralised and subjected to elaborate checks and balances built into the customary political relationship. In Palau, the power was vested in the heads of two alliances of villages. These alliances were involved in constant fighting for domination. In Chuuk, the most powerful traditional leaders were the village chiefs. In the Marshall Islands, the most powerful leaders were the two paramount chiefs, one heading each of the two island chains—the Ratak and Ralik. Surprisingly, for low island chiefs, these two paramount chiefs had absolute power. In Pohnpei, the power of the traditional leaders was exercised by a paramount chief in each of the five kingdoms. However, the exercise of their customary power is checked by the head of a chiefly parallel line whose relationship to the paramount chief is like a father-son relationship, the paramount chief being the father. In the outer islands of Chuuk and Yap, each island had its paramount chief. In spite of the varied power of the traditional chiefs in Micronesia, almost all of them inherit their position through their mother. In Palau, the senior women in the chiefly clan select the paramount chief. Yap is the exception to this general rule. Both the age of the mother and her son were important determining factors for the leadership position in all Micronesian societies. Quite often a young man who had customary claim to a leadership position would be bypassed in favour of an older man. When this happened, usually the older man served in that position until death, then the rightful holder of the title could assert his right. The exercise of customary chiefly power was the domain of men. In a few cases, women would become chiefs, but the effective power would be exercised by men.
Uniqueness of enhancement for triangulated categories

description: The paper contains general results on the uniqueness of a DG enhancement for triangulated categories. As a consequence we obtain such uniqueness for the unbounded categories of quasi-coherent sheaves, for the triangulated categories of perfect complexes, and for the bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves on quasi-projective schemes. If a scheme is projective then we also prove a strong uniqueness for the triangulated category of perfect complexes and for the bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves. These results directly imply that fully faithful functors from the bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves and the triangulated categories of perfect complexes on projective schemes can be represented by objects on the product.

Effects of confinement and crowding on folding of model proteins
Creators: name: Wojciechowski, M.
name: Cieplak, Marek
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Biomolecules (q-bio.BM)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: We perform molecular dynamics simulations for a simple coarse-grained model of crambin placed inside of a softly repulsive sphere of radius R. The confinement makes folding at the optimal temperature slower and affects the folding scenarios, but both effects are not dramatic. The influence of crowding on folding are studied by placing several identical proteins within the sphere, denaturing them, and then by monitoring refolding. If the interactions between the proteins are dominated by the excluded volume effects, the net folding times are essentially like for a single protein. An introduction of inter-proteinic attractive contacts hinders folding when the strength of the attraction exceeds about a half of the value of the strength of the single protein contacts. The bigger the strength of the attraction, the more likely is the occurrence of aggregation and misfolding.

description: By integrating a nearly infinite number of reconfigurable elements into a finite space, a spatially continuous array aperture is formed for holographic multiple-input multiple-output (HMIMO) communications. This three-part tutorial aims for providing an overview of the latest advances in HMIMO communications. As Part I of the tutorial, this letter first introduces the fundamental concept of HMIMO and reviews the recent progress in HMIMO channel modeling, followed by a suite of efficient channel estimation approaches. Finally, numerical results are provided for demonstrating the statistical consistency of the new HMIMO channel model advocated with conventional ones and evaluating the performance of the channel estimators. Parts II and III of the tutorial will delve into the performance analysis and holographic beamforming, and detail the interplay of HMIMO with emerging technologies.

Sterile neutrinos produced near the EW scale I: mixing angles, MSW resonances and production rates

description: We study the production of sterile neutrinos in the region $T\sim M_W$ in an extension beyond the standard model with the see-saw mass matrix originating in Yukawa couplings to Higgs-like scalars with masses and vev's of the order of the electroweak scale. Sterile neutrinos are produced by the decay of scalars and standard model vector bosons. We obtain the index of refraction, dispersion relations, mixing angles in the medium and production rates including those for right-handed sterile neutrinos, from the standard model and beyond the standard model self-energies. For $1 \lesssim M_W/T \lesssim 3$ we find narrow MSW resonances with $k \lesssim T$ for both left and right handed neutrinos even in absence of a lepton asymmetry in the (active) neutrino sector, as well as very low energy ($k/T \ll |ξ|$) narrow MSW resonances in the presence of a lepton asymmetry consistent with the bounds from WMAP and BBN. For small vacuum mixing angle, consistent with observational bounds, the absorptive part of the self-energies lead to a strong damping regime very near the resonances resulting in the \emph{exact} degeneracy of the propagating modes with a concomitant breakdown of adiabaticity. We argue that cosmological expansion sweeps through the resonances, \emph{resonant and non-resonant} sterile neutrino production results in a highly \emph{non-thermal} distribution function enhanced at small momentum $k < T$, with potentially important consequences for their free streaming length and transfer function at small scales.

description: Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) display a range in structures (from single/compact to clumpy/extended) that is different from typical local star-forming galaxies. Recently, we have introduced a sample of rare, nearby (z<0.3) starbursts that appear to be good analogs of LBGs. These "Lyman Break Analogs" (LBAs) provide an excellent training set for understanding starbursts at different redshifts. We present an application of this by comparing the rest-frame UV/optical morphologies of 30 LBAs with those of sBzK galaxies at z~2, and LBGs at z~3-4 in the HUDF. The UV/optical colors and sizes of LBAs and LBGs are very similar, while the BzK galaxies are somewhat redder and larger. There is significant overlap between the morphologies (G, C, A and M_20) of the local and high-z samples, although the latter are somewhat less concentrated and clumpier. We find that in the majority of LBAs the starbursts appear to be triggered by interactions/mergers. When the images of the LBAs are degraded to the same sensitivity and resolution as the images of LBGs and BzK galaxies, these relatively faint asymmetric features are no longer detectable. This effect is particularly severe in the rest-frame UV. It has been suggested that high-z galaxies experience intense bursts unlike anything seen locally, possibly due to cold flows and instabilities. In part, this is based on the fact that the majority (~70%) of LBGs do not show morphological signatures of mergers. Our results suggest that this evidence is insufficient, since a large fraction of such signatures would likely have been missed in current observations of z>2 galaxies. This leaves open the possibility that clumpy accretion and mergers remain important in driving the evolution of these starbursts, together with rapid gas accretion through other means.

description: As Part II of a three-part tutorial on holographic multiple-input multiple-output (HMIMO), this Letter focuses on the state-of-the-art in performance analysis and on holographic beamforming for HMIMO communications. We commence by discussing the spatial degrees of freedom (DoF) and ergodic capacity of a point-to-point HMIMO system, based on the channel model presented in Part I. Additionally, we also consider the sum-rate analysis of multi-user HMIMO systems. Moreover, we review the recent progress in holographic beamforming techniques developed for various HMIMO scenarios. Finally, we evaluate both the spatial DoF and the channel capacity through numerical simulations.

description: The epochs of origin of the first stars and galaxies, and subsequent growth of the first supermassive black holes, are among the most fundamental questions. Observations of the highest redshift Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) will be the most compelling in situ probe of the history of initial star formation and consequent epoch of reionization if their prompt and precise detection can be followed immediately by sensitive near-IR imaging and spectroscopy. Blazars are the persistent analogs of GRBs and for the same reason (beaming) can be observed at highest redshifts where they might best trace the high accretion rate-driven jets and growth of supermassive black holes in galaxies. The proposed EXIST mission can uniquely probe these questions, and many others, given its unparalled combination of sensitivity and spatial-spectral-temporal coverage and resolution. Here we provide a brief summary of the mission design, key science objectives, mission plan and readiness for EXIST, as proposed to Astro2010.

description: The limits to the supply of fossil resources and their ever increasing use forces us to think about future scenarios for fuels and chemicals. The platform chemical 5-hydroxymethyl-furfural (HMF) can be obtained from biomass in good yield and has the potential to be converted in just a few steps into a multitude of interesting products. Over the last 20 years, the conversion of HMF to 1-hydroxyhexane-2,5-dione (HHD) has been studied by several groups. It is possible to convert HMF into HHD by hydrogenation/hydrolytic ring opening reaction in aqueous phase using various heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. This review addresses both the state of the art of HHD synthesis, including mechanistic aspects of its formation, as well as the recent progress in the application of HHD as a building block for many useful chemicals including pyrroles, cyclopentanone derivatives and triols. © 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
Perturbations of Intermediate-mass Black Holes on Stellar Orbits in the Galactic Center

description: We study the short- and long-term effects of an intermediate mass black hole (IMBH) on the orbits of stars bound to the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of the Milky Way. A regularized N-body code including post-Newtonian terms is used to carry out direct integrations of 19 stars in the S-star cluster for 10 Myr. The mass of the IMBH is assigned one of four values from 400 Msun to 4000 Msun, and its initial semi-major axis with respect to the SMBH is varied from 0.3-30 mpc, bracketing the radii at which inspiral of the IMBH is expected to stall. We consider two values for the eccentricity of the IMBH/SMBH binary, e=(0,0.7), and 12 values for the orientation of the binary's plane. Changes at the level of 1% in the orbital elements of the S-stars could occur in just a few years if the IMBH is sufficiently massive. On time scales of 1 Myr or longer, the IMBH efficiently randomizes the eccentricities and orbital inclinations of the S-stars. Kozai oscillations are observed when the IMBH lies well outside the orbits of the stars. Perturbations from the IMBH can eject stars from the cluster, producing hypervelocity stars, and can also scatter stars into the SMBH; stars with high initial eccentricities are most likely to be affected in both cases. The distribution of S-star orbital elements is significantly altered from its currently-observed form by IMBHs with masses greater than 1000 Msun if the IMBH/SMBH semi-major axis lies in the range 3-10 mpc. We use these results to further constrain the allowed parameters of an IMBH/SMBH binary at the Galactic center.

description: The quasi-persistent neutron star X-ray transient and eclipsing binary EXO 0748-676 recently started the transition to quiescence following an accretion outburst that lasted more than 24 years. We report on two Chandra and twelve Swift observations performed within five months after the end of the outburst. The Chandra spectrum is composed of a soft, thermal component that fits to a neutron star atmosphere model with kT^inf~0.12 keV, joined by a hard powerlaw tail that contributes ~20% of the total 0.5-10 keV unabsorbed flux. The combined Chandra/Swift data set reveals a relatively hot and luminous quiescent system with a temperature of kT^inf~0.11-0.13 keV and a bolometric thermal luminosity of ~8.1E33-1.6E34 (d/7.4 kpc)^2 erg/s. We discuss our results in the context of cooling neutron star models.

In this part, we will discuss the unique properties of HMIMO systems, highlighting the open challenges and opportunities that arise as the transceiver array apertures become denser and electromagnetically larger. Additionally, we explore the interplay between HMIMO and other emerging technologies in next-generation networks.

description: We present new L-band spectra of 13 outbursting Be stars obtained with ISAAC at the ESO Paranal observatory. These stars can be classified in three groups depending on the presence/absence of emission lines and the strength of Br$α$ and Pf$γ$ emission lines relative to those of Humphreys lines from transitions 6--14 to the end of the series. These groups are representative of circumstellar envelopes with different optical depths. For the group showing Br$α$ and Pf$γ$ lines stronger than Humphreys lines, the Humphreys decrement roughly follow the Menzel case-B for optically thin conditions. For the group showing comparable Br$α$, Pf$γ$ and Humphreys emission line strengths, the Humphreys decrements moves from an optically thin to an optically thick regime at a transition wavelength which is characteristic for each star, but typically is located around 3.65--3.75 $μ$m (transitions 6--19 and 6--17). Higher order Humphreys lines probe optically thin inner regions even in the optically thicker envelopes. We find evidence of larger broadening in the infrared emission lines compared with optical lines, probably reflecting larger vertical velocity fields near the star. The existence of the aforementioned groups is in principle consistent with the proposed description by de Wit et al. (2006) for Be star outbursts in terms of the ejection of an optically thick disk that expands and becomes optically thin before dissipation into the interstellar medium. Time resolved L-band spectroscopy sampling the outburst cycle promises to be an unique tool for testing Be star disk evolution.

description: Ruthenium PNP pincer complexes bearing supplementary cyclometalated C,N-bound ligands have been prepared and fully characterized for the first time. By replacing CO and H− as ancillary ligands in such complexes, additional electronic and steric modifications of this topical class of catalysts are possible. The advantages of the new catalysts are demonstrated in the general α-alkylation of ketones with alcohols following a hydrogen autotransfer protocol. Herein, various aliphatic and benzylic alcohols were applied as green alkylating agents for ketones bearing aromatic, heteroaromatic or aliphatic substituents as well as cyclic ones. Mechanistic investigations revealed that during catalysis, Ru carboxylate complexes are predominantly formed whereas neither the PNP nor the CN ligand are released from the catalyst in significant amounts. © 2020 The Authors.

Social work intervention in the school setting
Creators: name: Callahan, Marilyn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: During the school year 1965 - 1966 the Vancouver East Y.W.CA. took part in a project aimed at improving the school performances of a selected group of children from the Woodland Park Area. This project involved the combined efforts of the school, the social adjustment group and the provision of family services. It was hoped that the team approach, as applied to the problem of school malperformance, would provide optimum service and facilitate future co-operative planning in the district. Although at the conclusion of that first year, there was a general feeling in the schools that the project had had beneficial results, some decisive proof was needed. For this reason, this present study was conceived, in order to evaluate change, if any, which occurred as a result of social work intervention. Initial research was based upon an analysis of rating scale results, and it was hoped, by the research team, that a "before-after" picture would evolve, and provide some correlations which would be useful in evaluating change in the children. However, after only preliminary study of the data, it became obvious that a number of problems hampered further analysis along these lines. The rating scale could not be assumed either valid or reliable; there were discrepancies between verbal and recorded judgements; there were discrepancies in the use of the rating scale amongst both school officials and group workers; in many cases rating scales were left incomplete and no correlations of any significance could be discovered. Added to these problems, were the lack of any control groups, so that there was a prohibitive number of intervening variables, and uncertain and differing criteria used for referral. The focus of the research team then centred on formation of a new design, which attempts to avoid previous mistakes, provides new rating devices, and outlines a statistical method of analyzing the data to be collected. It is to be hoped that with this different basis and focus another research project might be carried out to truly evaluate success of the program, and facilitate future planning and services.

description: When virtual agents interact with humans, gestures are crucial to delivering their intentions with speech. Previous multimodal co-speech gesture generation models required encoded features of all modalities to generate gestures. If some input modalities are removed or contain noise, the model may not generate the gestures properly. To acquire robust and generalized encodings, we propose a novel framework with a multimodal pre-trained encoder for co-speech gesture generation. In the proposed method, the multi-head-attention-based encoder is trained with self-supervised learning to contain the information on each modality. Moreover, we collect full-body gestures that consist of 3D joint rotations to improve visualization and apply gestures to the extensible body model. Through the series of experiments and human evaluation, the proposed method renders realistic co-speech gestures not only when all input modalities are given but also when the input modalities are missing or noisy.

description: We study the Wigner crystal melting in a two dimensional quantum system of particles interacting via the 1/r Coulomb potential. We use quantum Monte Carlo methods to calculate its phase diagram, locate the Wigner crystal region, and analyze its instabilities towards the liquid phase. We discuss the role of quantum effects in the critical behavior of the system, and compare our numerical results with the classical theory of melting, and the microemulsion theory of frustrated Coulomb systems. We find a Pomeranchuk effect much larger then in solid helium. In addition, we find that the exponent for the algebraic decay of the hexatic phase differs significantly from the Kosterilitz-Thouless theory of melting. We search for the existence of mesoscopic phases and find evidence of metastable bubbles but no mesoscopic phase that is stable in equilibrium.

description: Abstract

The WHO-China Joint Mission on COVID-19 health report estimates a high R 0 (reproduction number) of 2–2.5. The latest report from WHO on March 3, estimated the global death rate which is the infection rate of COVID-19 to be 3.4%. It was first reported in a cohort of 41 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia. The most common symptoms reported were fever (43.8% of cases upon admission and 88.7% during hospitalization) and cough (67.8%). Diarrhea was rare (3.8%). Report of radiological findings on computed tomography (CT) of the chest (56.4%). No radiographic abnormalities were found in 157 of 877 (17.9%) patients with less severe COVID-19 and five of 173 (2.9%) patients with severe symptoms of COVID-19. Lymphocytopenia was reported in 83.2% of patients on admission. This study used a descriptive quantitative research design with a cross sectional approach. The target population in this study were 24 postpartum mothers. The number of samples used was 24 obtained using a total sampling technique. The data analysis technique used the chi square test. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of social distancing on health care worker services in postpartum and breastfeeding during the Covid-19 pandemic at the Sumbul Pegagan District Health Center, Dairi Regency in 2020. The majority of respondents said that social distancing has an effect on the health care services for postpartum mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic, amounting to 13 people (54.2%) and 11 people (45.8%) said Social Distancing had no effect on health care services for postpartum mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The effectiveness of health care workers with a number of 12 people (50%) said it was not effective and 12 people (50%) said it was effective. There is a social distancing effect on health care services for postpartum mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic (p value: 0.000 <α: 0.05). There is a social distancing effect on health care services for postpartum mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is recommended that health workers improve the best, quality and effective health services to patients, especially midwifery care services for post-partum mothers by following health protocols and optimizing online or telemedicine-based health services.

A philosophy for the development of kinetic models in predictive microbiology
Creators: name: Ross, Thomas
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The development of predictive microbiology is reviewed and specific limitations relating to the generation of kinetic models identified. The issues of variability of response, lag time response, fluctuating environments and their effects, microbial interactions, choice of model for describing bacterial growth curves, and mechanistic versus empirical models are discussed and exemplified using experimental data. A philosophy for the development of reliable predictive kinetic models is developed and the appropriateness of that philosophy examined by simulations and reference to novel and independently published experimental data. Specifically, the use of turbidimetric techniques is advocated for primary model development, methods of calibration to traditional (i.e. viable count) methods demonstrated, and the reliability of that calibration demonstrated. Using that methodology, models for the growth of several strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes are generated. Novel indices of the reliability of models are developed, and used to assess the S. aureus 3b and the L. monocytogenes models, for constant environmental conditions, by comparison to published and novel data. An assessment of the three~parameter (temperature, water activity, pH) square-root model is made using data for the growth of L. monocytogenes. A deliberately minimal experimental design was used to 'test to destruction' the proposed methodology, and revealed potential shortcomings of the lack of replication. It is concluded that the experimental strategy proposed offers an efficient method for generating the quantity of data required for the development of reliable kinetic models from which to predict the growth of spoilage and pathogenic organisms of relevance to foods. Technologies for the transfer of validated, laboratory-generated models to the food industry are demonstrated, and a mechanistic interpretation of the basis of the empirical square-root relationship developed.

description: In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [Cr2Cl4(C 26H36N2)2(C4H8O)] ·4.5CH2Cl2, the two CrII centers are bridged by three Cl atoms, forming a dinuclear complex. Each CrII center is coordinated by one chelating bis-(2,6-diisopropyl-phen-yl)ethane-1,2-diimine ligand via both N atoms. An additional chloride ion binds to one chromium center, whereas an additional tetra-hydro-furan mol-ecule coordinates to the second CrII center. The coordination geometry at each CrII center can be best described as distorted octa-hedral.

description: The rheology of dense amorphous materials under large shear strain is not fully understood, partly due to the difficulty of directly viewing the microscopic details of such materials. We use a colloidal suspension to simulate amorphous materials, and study the shear-induced structural relaxation with fast confocal microscopy. We quantify the plastic rearrangements of the particles in several ways. Each of these measures of plasticity reveals spatially heterogeneous dynamics, with localized regions where many particles are strongly rearranging by these measures. We examine the shapes of these regions and find them to be essentially isotropic, with no alignment in any particular direction. Furthermore, individual particles are equally likely to move in any direction, other than the overall bias imposed by the strain.
A sculptural problem: the measurement of being
Creators: name: Johnson, A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This visual thesis examined sculpture's capacity to operate as a mode of physical and perceptual measurement. It was conducted as an investigation into the relationships and points of intersection between space, object and action; chance and intent; temporality, transience and the 'moment of sculpture'. My proximity as the protagonist, relative to the work and situation, has been a factor in activating these relationships. The final submission comprises a broad range of media encompassing sculptural objects, photographs, video and spatial interventions reconsidered to responsively incorporate the Plimsoll Gallery space ‚Äö- as a readymade object in and of itself. Each of the works within this project declares a particular aspect of its specific sculptural condition through the relationship it engenders between material, form, context and the spatial conditions in which it is experienced. This inquiry has been investigated through a group of works developed reflexively for a series of exhibitions that occurred through the research period. The works were developed in response to the specific spatial, contextual or curatorial conditions of each of these exhibitions. This approach was intended to allow for relatively contingent methods to determine the form of the research. A number works within the project operate autonomously, such as the sculptural objects and photographs. However they contribute to the overall reflexive methodology, imbuing the combined installation with a spatial and elemental reference beyond the confines of the immediate architectural space. The exegesis contextualises my work, process and methodology in relation to specific works and strategies by John Baldessari, Chris Burden, Bruce Nauman and Sol Lewitt. Additional key references for the project are works by Ceal Floyer and Jorge Macchi ‚Äö- contemporary artists who operate within the legacy of Conceptual Art, yet seek to encompass a spatial, perceptual and experiential inquiry. This research explored the elasticity of sculpture and its potential to function as a conduit between the self, the object, and the context of a situation and space. The aim of this project was to affect and recalibrate the way a viewer measures their state of being through a sculpturally adjusted experience of the quotidian. In presenting counterpoints between the macro and micro, and the banal and poetic, the project sought to demonstrate ways in which the mundanity of everyday situations may be inverted to infer the contrary. Alluding to time and space, these works collectively demonstrate how moments of profundity can arise when seemingly banal, irrelevant or irrational predicaments are suspended and reframed as serendipitous sculptural moments. These moments, pursued absolutely and at times illogically, can connect us to the immediate and everyday and, equally, to the elemental states that make up our universal reality.
