Hawaii Islands

description: BACKGROUND: Hawaiian Islands offer a unique and dynamic evolutionary theatre for studying origin and speciation as the islands themselves sequentially formed by erupting undersea volcanos, which would subsequently become dormant and extinct. Such dynamics have not been used to resolve the controversy surrounding the origin and speciation of Hawaiian katydids in the genus Banza, whose ancestor could be from either the Old-World genera Ruspolia and Euconocephalus, or the New World Neoconocephalus. To address this question, we performed a chronophylogeographic analysis of Banza species together with close relatives from the Old and New Worlds. RESULTS: Based on extensive dated phylogeographic analyses of two mitochondrial genes (COX1 and CYTB), we show that our data are consistent with the interpretation that extant Banza species resulted from two colonization events, both by katydids from the Old World rather than from the New World. The first event was by an ancestral lineage of Euconocephalus about 6 million years ago (mya) after the formation of Nihoa about 7.3 mya, giving rise to B. nihoa. The second colonization event was by a sister lineage of Ruspolia dubia. The dating result suggests that this ancestral lineage first colonized an older island in the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain before the emergence of Hawaii Islands, but colonized Kauai after its emergence in 5.8 mya. This second colonization gave rise to the rest of the Banza species in two major lineages, one on the older northwestern islands, and the other on the newer southwestern islands. CONCLUSION: Chronophylogeographic analyses with well-sampled taxa proved crucial for resolving phylogeographic controversies on the origin and evolution of species colonizing a new environment.

description: We investigate protoneutron star matter using the state-of-the-art perturbative equation of state for cold and dense QCD in the presence of a fixed lepton fraction in which both electrons and neutrinos are included. Besides computing the modifications in the equation of state due to the presence of trapped neutrinos, we show that stable strange quark matter has a more restricted parameter space. We also study the possibility of nucleation of unpaired quark matter in the core of protoneutron stars by matching the lepton-rich QCD pressure onto a hadronic equation of state, namely TM1 with trapped neutrinos. Using the inherent dependence of perturbative QCD on the renormalization scale parameter, we provide a measure of the uncertainty in the observables we compute.

description: In this note we provide an upper bound for the difference between the value function of a distributionally robust Markov decision problem and the value function of a non-robust Markov decision problem, where the ambiguity set of probability kernels of the distributionally robust Markov decision process is described by a Wasserstein-ball around some reference kernel whereas the non-robust Markov decision process behaves according to a fixed probability kernel contained in the ambiguity set. Our derived upper bound for the difference between the value functions is dimension-free and depends linearly on the radius of the Wasserstein-ball.

description: As we move on to the age of information the need for data compression tends
to be vital and pivotal. Not only from the perspective of storage but equally
important from the perspective of data transfers and transactions. As we
enter a period marked by steadily climbing energy prices, a serious issue
emerges on how we can lower the cost of our power consumption but also
how to lower our power consumption regarding the needs for green transition
due to the climate change. In today’s fast-paced world, where both
accuracy and speed are essential, the importance of doing things in parallel
has never been greater. All these matters can be emerged and resolved in this
project. We tried to use a state-of-the-art lossless compression algorithm such
as LZ4 and combine it with the speed and the power benefits that the FPGAs
can give us. Our goal is to reach the point of a fast decompression with zero
losses while in the meantime using the minimum physical resources we can.
description: Καθώς προχωράμε στην εποχή της πληροφορίας, η ανάγκη για συμπίεση δεδομένων γίνεται ζωτική και καθοριστική. Όχι μόνο από την προοπτική της αποθήκευσης αλλά εξίσου σημαντική από την προοπτική των μεταφορών και συναλλαγών δεδομένων. Καθώς εισερχόμαστε σε μια περίοδο που χαρακτηρίζεται από σταθερά αυξανόμενες τιμές ενέργειας, αναδύεται ένα σοβαρό ζήτημα σχετικά με το πώς μπορούμε να μειώσουμε το κόστος της κατανάλωσης ενέργειας αλλά και πώς να μειώσουμε την κατανάλωση ενέργειας σχετικά με τις ανάγκες για πράσινη μετάβαση λόγω της κλιματικής αλλαγής. Στον σημερινό γρήγορο κόσμο, όπου και η ακρίβεια και η ταχύτητα είναι μείζονες, η σημασία του να κάνουμε πράγματα παράλληλα δεν έχει ποτέ υπάρξει μεγαλύτερη. Όλα αυτά τα ζητήματα μπορούν να αναδυθούν και να επιλυθούν σε αυτό το έργο. Προσπαθήσαμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε έναν αλγόριθμο συμπίεσης δεδομένων χωρίς απώλειες, όπως ο LZ4, και να τον συνδυάσουμε με τα οφέλη ταχύτητας και ενέργειας που μπορούν να μας προσφέρουν τα FPGA. Ο στόχος μας είναι να φτάσουμε στο σημείο μιας γρήγορης αποσυμπίεσης χωρίς απώλειες ενώ ταυτόχρονα χρησιμοποιούμε τους ελάχιστους φυσικούς πόρους που μπορούμε.

description: The growth of business firms is an example of a system of complex interacting units that resembles complex interacting systems in nature such as earthquakes. Remarkably, work in econophysics has provided evidence that the statistical properties of the growth of business firms follow the same sorts of power laws that characterize physical systems near their critical points. Given how economies change over time, whether these statistical properties are persistent, robust, and universal like those of physical systems remains an open question. Here, we show that the scaling properties of firm growth previously demonstrated for publicly-traded U.S. manufacturing firms from 1974 to 1993 apply to the same sorts of firms from 1993 to 2015, to firms in other broad sectors (such as materials), and to firms in new sectors (such as Internet services). We measure virtually the same scaling exponent for manufacturing for the 1993 to 2015 period as for the 1974 to 1993 period and virtually the same scaling exponent for other sectors as for manufacturing. Furthermore, we show that fluctuations of the growth rate for new industries self-organize into a power law over relatively short time scales.

description: Massless Dirac fermions (MDFs) emerge as quasiparticles in various novel materials such as graphene and topological insulators, and they exhibit several intriguing properties, of which Veselago focusing is an outstanding example with a lot of possible applications. However, up to now Veselago focusing merely occurred in p-n junction devices based on the isotropic MDF, which lacks the tunability needed for realistic applications. Here, motivated by the emergence of novel Dirac materials, we investigate the propagation behaviors of anisotropic MDFs in such a p-n junction structure. By projecting the Hamiltonian of the anisotropic MDF to that of the isotropic MDF and deriving an exact analytical expression for the propagator, precise Veselago focusing is demonstrated without the need for mirror symmetry of the electron source and its focusing image. We show a tunable focusing position that can be used in a device to probe masked atom-scale defects. This study provides an innovative concept to realize Veselago focusing relevant for potential applications, and it paves the way for the design of novel electron optics devices by exploiting the anisotropic MDF.

title: Love as a Political Concept: Hannah Arendt, Martha Nussbaum and Hegel's Affective Recognition
Creators: name: Soukara, Stavroula
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: Recent developments within political thought have sought to examine the role of emotions in politics. Part of these endeavours has focused on love. This thesis is situated within such attempts which have tried to uncover love’s politicality and more specifically it examines love as a political concept in the works of Hannah Arendt, Martha Nussbaum, and G. W. F. Hegel. It is argued here that in Arendt and Nussbaum we find political notions of love that either exclude or undermine love as an intersubjective quality in politics. These take the form of love of the world or amor mundi in Arendt and patriotic love in Nussbaum. The thesis argues that this ‘repressed intersubjectivity’ of love creates problems for both Arendt and Nussbaum and at the same time deprives political thought of valuable resources in thinking about politics. In turning to Hegel, the thesis discovers a political conception of love that is grounded within thick-affective practices of recognition where love involves a response of affective solidarity toward the other. The thesis contends that in Hegel we find a radical political concept of love for a re-humanising politics. At the same time, love, as the ‘neglected corner’ of Hegelian philosophy, brings about a plastic metamorphosis from within Hegel and opens his philosophy to the future.

description: The case study focuses on Manitoba Hydro and Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation’s (NCN) Wuskwatim project. Project overview The Wuskwatim project was the first time a utility company and an Aboriginal community entered a partnership to develop a major generating station, where NCN would purchase 33 percent of the project’s shares. Primary Wuskwatim components include the 200 MW generating station and dam on the Burntwood River at Taskinigup Falls, transmission lines to the provincial power grid and an access road. Construction of the generating station ran from 2006 to late 2012 at a cost of $1.3 billion. The $300-million transmission line was a separate Manitoba Hydro project. Canada has been engaged in a diverse renegotiation of our energy systems. In this time of rapid change, it is challenging to isolate specific factors that affect community confidence. A dominant theme in this case study was the importance of building and maintaining relationships. There was time and effort spent on transforming the relationship between NCN and Manitoba Hydro to overcome the legacy of distrust between the two players. The Wuskwatim case demonstrates a shift from engagement to consultation to collaboration. The partnership and co-creation model should be based on shared long-term interests and positions Indigenous communities to be key players, decision-makers and beneficiaries of energy projects.

description: The growing use of commercial software products in large systems makes evaluation and selection of appropriate products an increasingly essential activity. However, many organizations struggle in their attempts to select appropriate software products for use in systems. As part of a cooperative effort, the Software Engineering Institute and National Research Council Canada have defined a tailorable commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software product evaluation process that can support organizations in making carefully reasoned and sound product decisions. The background fundamentals for that evaluation process, as well as steps and techniques to follow, are described in this report.

description: To investigate if patients with neuropsychological disorders (neglect, aphasia, or cognitive dysfunction measured with the Mini-mental state examination) short after stroke have different functional outcome at follow-up compared to patients without these disorders. Embase, Medline-Ovid, PsycINFO, Cochrane CENTRAL, Web of Science and Google Scholar were systematically searched for cohort studies up to 3 March 2019. PRISMA guidelines were followed. Functional outcome had to be measured with the Barthel Index or the Functional Independence Measure. If at least three studies studying the same neuropsychological disorder reported functional outcome at comparable follow-up, meta-analysis were performed and the quality of evidence was assessed using GRADE. The search resulted in 5398 unique articles and finally 27 articles were included. Pooled results show a standardized mean difference of −0.93 (95% confidence interval [−1.27 to −0.59]), indicating that the group with neglect short after stroke has significant lower functional outcome at follow-up. Regarding aphasia, the standardized mean difference was −0.50 (95% confidence interval [−0.72 to −0.28]). It appears in the limited articles available that patients with cognitive dysfunction have lower scores for functional outcome. Patients with neglect or aphasia, especially aphasia with comprehension deficits, short after stroke have significant worse functional outcome.Implications for rehabilitationClinicians should perform an extensive screening for neglect, aphasia, and cognitive disorders to make sure to diagnose the different neuropsychological disorders correctly.When patients with neuropsychological disorders are referred for rehabilitation, it can be expected that they need a longer rehabilitation period or may never reach the same level of functioning.Clinicians should pay attention to instructions of training moments outside therapy and involve caregivers and patients family making these training moments more effective.

description: In order to determine a fit between systems and technology, it is necessary to evaluate technologies within the contexts that they will be used. This report describes a process called context-based evaluation that determines the fitness of a technology within a specific context. It includes hands-on experimentation with the technology for a greater understanding of its implications, as well as early competence development of the people conducting the experiments. An integral part of the process is the development of model problems; these are prototypes, situated in a specific context, with the goal of satisfying evaluation criteria. The focus of this report is on evaluation of software technologies, such as Web services, database systems, or architectural frameworks and development tools. The report also includes a case study of the use of this process for the evaluation of Web service technology.

description: People move within countries and across borders, looking for better employment opportunities and improved socio-economic wellbeing. In contemporary societies, migration is being enabled by technological advances. The mixture of social media is shifting dimensions. Social media has shifted sources of information on migration from the real to the virtual world. In this paper I examine how migrants use social media during migration processes and how the information gathered influences their migration decisions. While literature has considered the role of social media in facilitating migration (Dekker and Engbersen 2014), the moves by governments to encourage or discourage migration using social media—has not been extensively studied particularly as it shapes migration decisions of Nigerian youth. My aim is to explain the role of social media contents by users—including government agencies—and how they shape migration decision making process of upwardly mobile Nigerian youth who use Facebook and Twitter. Data for this research was collected from Facebook groups and Twitter conversations on migration. These engagements were analyzed and presented by the key emerging themes and supported by literature and concepts to generate a better understanding of social media and migration decisions, processes, and outcomes. Understanding the role of social media and migration decisions of upwardly mobile Nigerian youth helps to understand international migration in a networked society.

description: The American Academy of Neurology recently emphasized the importance of communicating with patients’ families to better reflect patient values in clinical care. However, little is known about how decisions about continuing rehabilitative care made by family caregivers and healthcare providers working with minimally conscious patients are informed by conceptualizations of consciousness and moral status. We explored these issues in interviews with 18 family caregivers and 20 healthcare professionals caring for minimally conscious patients. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. Results suggest that family members and healthcare professionals share similar views of what consciousness is (“being there”) and what it is indicated by (“a look in the eyes,” and/or an “ability to do”/agency). They also share a belief that the presence (or “level”) of consciousness does not determine whether rehabilitative care should be discontinued. Rather, it should be determined by considerations of suffering and well-being. Providers were more likely to view suffering as rationale for discontinuation of care, while family members viewed suffering as an indicator of and motivator for potential recovery. Findings can help optimize family-provider communications about minimally conscious patients by acknowledging shared assumptions and interpretations of consciousness, as well as key areas where perspectives diverge.Implications for rehabilitationFamily and professional caregivers’ interpretations of consciousness and suffering are implicated in decisions about continuing rehabilitation for minimally conscious patients.Family members and healthcare providers both rely to some extent on non-observable evidence to evaluate consciousness, which may be an adaptive and philanthropic response to clinical uncertainty.Acknowledging shared assumptions and interpretations of consciousness, as well as diverging perspectives, can help to optimize family-provider communications.

description: We implement scalar and vector leptoquark (LQ) models in the universal FeynRules output (UFO) format assuming the Standard Model fermion content and conservation of baryon and lepton numbers. Scalar LQ implementations include next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections. We report the NLO QCD inclusive cross sections in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV, 14 TeV, and 27 TeV for all on-shell LQ production processes. These comprise (i) LQ pair production ($p p \to ΦΦ$) and (ii) single LQ + lepton production ($p p \to Φ\ell$) for all initial quark flavours ($u$, $d$, $s$, $c$, and $b$). Vector LQ implementation includes adjustable non-minimal QCD coupling. We discuss several aspects of LQ searches at a hadron collider, emphasising the implications of $SU(2)$ gauge invariance, electroweak and flavour constraints, on the possible signatures. Finally, we outline the high-$p_T$ search strategy for LQs recently proposed in the literature to resolve experimental anomalies in $B$-meson decays. In this context, we stress the importance of complementarity of the three LQ related processes, namely, $p p \to ΦΦ$, $p p \to Φ\ell$, and $p p \to \ell \ell$.

The Persistence of Trade Policy in China After WTO Accession
Creators: name: Garred, Jason
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: Import tariffs have fallen steeply worldwide over the last several decades, but has trade policy persisted through a rise in the use of other instruments? I study this question in the context of China's 2001 accession to the World Trade Organization, using panel data on Chinese export policies. I find that after its entry into WTO, the distribution of China's export restrictions across industries increasingly resembles the inverse of its pre-WTO import tariff schedule. The evidence suggests that increases in export restrictions are likely to have partly restored China's pre-WTO pattern of industrial protection.

description: We point out that the entropy of (near) extremal black holes can be interpreted as the entanglement entropy of dual conformal quantum mechanics via AdS2/CFT1. As an explicit example, we study near extremal BTZ black holes and derive this claim from AdS3/CFT2. We also analytically compute the entanglement entropy in the two dimensional CFT of a free Dirac fermion compactified on a circle at finite temperature. From this result, we clarify the relation between the thermal entropy and entanglement entropy, which is essential for the entanglement interpretation of black hole entropy.

Publisher: name: My University

description: Virtual reality training (VRT) performed while sitting can be used to challenge sitting balance and upper extremity reaching movements during stroke rehabilitation. However, the extent to which trunk forward lean compensates for upper extremity reaching movements during VRT is uncertain. The objectives of this cross-sectional observational study are to determine how much trunk compensation occurs in younger and older healthy adults and stroke survivors during VRT, and to compare the degree of trunk compensation in two levels of the same game, across the different groups. Reflective markers are attached to the shoulder, elbow, index finger and wrist of both arms, to the trunk and forehead of two healthy younger and two older adults, and two stroke survivor participants. A Vicon motion capture system is used to track the markers while participants perform three VRT games, each at two levels of difficulty in restrained and unrestrained conditions. The games encourage reaching movements in central, ipsilateral and contralateral arm workspaces. Data collected on the hand path and range of anterior-posterior trunk movement will be analyzed to quantify the degree of trunk compensation, which will be compared between participant groups for each game. Evaluating trunk compensation during VRT will guide rehabilitation professionals in their choice of games to achieve their treatment goals for their stroke patients.

description: A study conducted by the CERT Program at Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute analyzed hundreds of insider cyber crimes across U.S. critical infrastructure sectors. Follow-up work involved detailed group modeling and analysis of 48 cases of insider theft of intellectual property. In the context of this paper, insider theft of intellectual property includes incidents in which the insider's primary goal is stealing confidential or proprietary information from the organization. This paper describes general observations about and a preliminary system dynamics model of this class of insider crime based on our empirical data. This work generates empirically-based hypotheses for validation and a basis for identifying mititgative measures in future work.

description: We discuss a new approach for the numerical evaluation of loop integrals. The fully numerical calculations of an infrared one-loop vertex and a box diagram are demonstrated. To perform these calculations, we apply an extrapolation method based on the $ε$-algorithm. In our approach, the super high precision control in the numerical manipulation is essential to handle the infrared singularity. We adopt a multi-precision library named {\tt HMLib} for the precision control in the calculations.

description: Dans la montagne, alors qu’il chemine avec son âne, un voyageur est interpelé par une femme tenant dans ses bras un nouveau-né. Elle somme l’homme de se rendre une fois en ville dans un restaurant précis où l’attend un chat borgne et noir, il doit l’informer que sa femme a accouché. L’homme délivre son message au chat en question, qui, une fois sorti du restaurant, s’avère être un être humain, noir et borgne, il lui confirme qu’il était bien un chat jusqu’à l’annonce de l’accouchement de sa femme ; il le remercie d’avoir apporté la bonne nouvelle et s’en va.

description: For laboratory kinetic energies between 50 and 200 MeV, we focus on generating an energy-dependent Lorentz covariant parameterization of the on-shell nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering amplitudes in terms of a number of Yukawa-type meson exchanges in first-order Born approximation. This parameterization provides a good description of NN scattering observables in the energy range of interest, and can also be extrapolated to energies between 40 and 300 MeV.

description: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the Motor Activity Log (MAL) into Hausa Language. Forward and backward translations of the questionnaire were done by independent language experts who are fluent in Hausa and English language respectively. The experts reviewed the translation process according to Beaton’s guidelines. The psychometric properties of the final version were assessed using 68 stroke survivors. There was large (r = 0.932 for AOU, and 0.921 for QOU) and significant (p p r = 0.97 for AOU, and 0.93 for QOU), intra-rater (r = 0.98 for AOU, and 0.97 for QOU) and inter-rater reliability, (r = 0.806 for AOU and 0.789 QOU). For the unidimensionality, the infit and outfit mean square and standardized fit statistics values for the AOU subscales were (0.99, Z= −0.2) and (1.03, Z = 0.2) respectively; while for the QOU, they were (0.98, Z= −0.5) and (1.04, Z= −0.2) respectively. Hausa version of MAL is valid and reliable at assessing real world arm use in stroke survivors.Implications for rehabilitationThe world is shifting towards Evidence Based Practice in the rehabilitation of conditions such as stroke.This entails selecting research backed treatment modalities, and tracking their efficacy using reputable outcome measures.However, these measures need to be valid for the particular population, culture or context.Consequently, the Hausa version of Motor activity log (MAL) can be used to assess real world arm use in stroke survivors who speak Hausa language.

description: Dentro del presente texto se encuentra una investigación relacionada a establecer como las acciones afirmativas como la licencia de maternidad o la diferenciación en la edad pensional establecidas en la legislación colombiana en favor de las mujeres ocasionan diferentes inconvenientes en el reconocimiento de su prestación pensional por vejez, en razón a que la estructura del sistema pensional colombiano se encuentra basado en un contribución fija, en donde trabajador y empleador deben realizar cotizaciones al sistema de seguridad social para alcanzar la prestación pensional, y al enfrentarse a situaciones tales como: las disparidades en las edades pensionales, las tasas de desempleo en el sector femenino y la segregación por género, estas situaciones logran ocasionar dificultades para cumplir con el total de las semanas de cotización requeridas, por parte de las trabajadoras, lo cual indica que estas medidas generan una contravención sobre los derechos pensionales femeninos, es por ello que dentro de la investigación se abordan herramientas legislativas expuestas en otros países tales como los créditos por cuidador, pensiones universales y sistemas multipilares, los cuales han sido adoptados por diferentes legislaciones para delimitar los efectos dañinos que tienen los periodos de vacancia en las cotizaciones pensionales.
description: Within the present text there is a research related to establish how affirmative actions such as maternity leave or the differentiation in the pension age established in the Colombian legislation in favor of women cause different inconveniences in the recognition of their old age pension benefit, because the structure of the Colombian pension system is based on a fixed contribution, where worker and employer must make contributions to the social security system to reach the pension benefit, and when facing situations such as: disparities in pension ages, unemployment rates in the female sector and gender segregation, these situations cause difficulties in complying with the total number of weeks of contributions required by female workers, which indicates that these measures generate a contravention of women's pension rights, This is why the research addresses legislative tools used in other countries, such as caregiver credits, universal pensions and multipillar systems, which have been adopted by different legislations to delimit the harmful effects of vacancy periods on pension contributions.

Third World Women or the Struggles of a Feminist Identity in Development: Female Characters in Khaled Hosseini’s Novel A Thousand Splendid Suns

description: This paper examines the main female characters in Khaled Hosseini’s novel A Thousand Splendid Suns. While many argue that Mariam and Laila represent the typical ‘Third World Woman’ described by Chandra Talpade Mohanty, my argument is that a feminist identity development analysis reveals their struggles of an awakening feminist awareness and critical consciousness. By using the feminist identity development model designed by Nancy E. Downing and Kristin L. Roush as a tool of analysis, this paper aims to deconstruct the limits of the ‘Third World Woman’ discourse within Western feminism and acknowledge the diversity of female characters in this novel.

description: The unexpected "0.7" plateau of conductance quantisation is usually observed for ballistic one-dimensional devices. In this work we study a quasi-ballistic quantum wire, for which the disorder induced backscattering reduces the conductance quantisation steps. We find that the transmission probability resonances coexist with the anomalous plateau. The studies of these resonances as a function of the in-plane magnetic field and electron density point to the presence of spin polarisation at low carrier concentrations and constitute a method for the determination of the effective g-factor suitable for disordered quantum wires.
