Traces and shards of self-injury: Strange accounting with “Author X”
No full textIn this strange account autoethnography, three or four authors explore their lived experiences with self-injury. Strange accounting is both a post-modern style of text, and a method for keeping identities concealed when risks and secrets are in play. Author X, a post-modern place-keeper for an anonymous author who may or may not have contributed to this manuscript, introduces a new dimension and layer of concealment. With Author X in-play and under erasure, the reader will never be sure if there were three or four authors on this manuscript. Through strange accounting, a post-structuralist/postmodernist frame will be applied to understanding the self-injury experience. We frame self-injury as a social practice and, for some, an everyday norm, while remaining acutely aware of the stigma surrounding the topic of self-injury. Each of us, coupled with Author X, provide the others cover to trace stories of self-injury through the literature, our flesh, and our lives
Lowest electronic states of neutral and ionic LiN
No full textWe have investigated the potential energy curves (PECs) of the LiN heteronuclear diatomic molecule, including its ionic species LiN+ and LiN−, using explicitly correlated multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI-F12) calculations in conjunction with the correlation consistent quintuple- basis set. The effect of core–valence correlation, scalar relativistic effects, and the size of the basis sets has been investigated. A comprehensive set of spectroscopic constants determined based on the above-mentioned calculations are also reported for the lowest electronic states and all systems, including dissociation energies, harmonic and anharmonic vibrational frequencies, and rotational constants. Additional parameters, such as the dipole moments, equilibrium spin-orbit constants, excitation energies, and rovibrational energy levels, are also documented. We found that the three triplet states of LiN, namely, X 3∑−, A 3Π, and 2 3∑−, exhibit substantial potential wells in the PEC diagrams, while the quintet states are repulsive in nature. The ground state of the anion also shows a deep potential well in the vicinity of its equilibrium geometry. In contrast, the ground and excited states of the cation are very loosely bound. Charge transfer properties of each of these states are also analyzed to obtain an in-depth understanding of the interatomic interactions. We found that the core–valence correlation has a substantial effect on the calculated spectroscopic constants.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Atmospheric Remote Sensin

Singaporemma banxiaoensis Lin & Li 2014

Holotype ♂, paratypes 1♂ and 1♀ (IZCAS), CHINA: Guangxi, Pingxiang, Xiashi Town, Xinming Village, Banxiaotun, Banxiao Cave, 22°5.542'N, 106°52.148'E, altitude 175 m, 26 July 2011, X. Wang leg. Diagnosis. Male of this species is similar to S. halongense (Fig. 6A) and S. lenachanae (Fig. 6D), but can be distinguished from the latter two by the narrower, pointed embolic tip (Fig. 6b vs. Fig. 6a, 6d), and by the vestigial white eyespots lacking black ocular base in the both sexes (see Lin & Li, 2014: fig. 4G–H vs. Lin et al., 2017: figs 16E–F, 21A). Female is close to S. takensis sp. n. in having a similar configuration of vulva, but differs from the latter by the inverted triangular inner vulval plate, the wider, shorter central process (Fig. 7C vs. Fig. 5C–D).

Lin Zexu, Couplet in Running Script
No full textParis of hanging scrolls, ink and gold on waxed paper,Dimension: calligraphy 125.5 x 29 cm; mounting 159 x 36 cmCalligraphy: 道德允符温潤玉, 文章和氣吉祥花。Inscription: 林則徐Artist's Seal: 臣林則徐字少穆印, 身行萬里半天下Lin Zexu (1785-1850, alternative name Shaomu 少穆) was a high-ranking government official who was summoned by Emperor Daoguang to quell the opium problem. Backed by Confucian ideal, Lin carried out a hard campaign against opium. British merchants had been smuggling opium into China for big profit, and hurting the country’s morale as well as its finances. Lin’s strong stance against opium trade angered Britain and led to the Opium War (1840-1842). As a result, Lin was banished to Yili in modern-day Xinjian-Uygur province. In 1850, he was called back to help suppress the Taiping Rebellion, but passed away on the way to his new post. Although the couplet is not dated, it can be assumed that it was executed sometime after 1811, the year Lin Zexu passed the national Civil Service Exam, because one of his seals contains a letter that connotes being an Emperor’s official (chen 臣). The running script in the conservative, orthodox style with copious ink seems appropriate for this elite, dedicated official who was not afraid to stand up against Great Britain.

A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
uataq/X-STILT: X-STILT
No full text<p>This release includes the model code of X-STILT built on STILT-R version 2 (Fasoli et al., 2018) and STILT (Lin et al., 2003). Important changes from the last version v1.3 include X-STILT code refactoring with STILTv2 being a submodule along with few optimizations and minor changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Refactor transport error code using the latest X-STILT framework (see <code>run_xstilt</code>). Specifically, move the traj-level CO2 calculation (starting with <code>cal.trajfoot.stat()</code>) into <code>before_footprint_xstilt()</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Minor bugs/typos fixed (leading to very small impact on the calculation), when 1) weighting traj-level foot for trajec with wind error component (<code>wgt.trajec.footv3</code>) and 2) calculating the traj-level CO2 (<code>cal.trajfoot.stat</code>). Specifically, no AK weighting for <code>endpts.trajfoot.r</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Remove two sections of the code for simplifications, including 1) calculation of lat-int signals or errors in <code>run_xstilt</code> and 2) two scripts for plotting that used to be in ./r/src/plot_scripts.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Optimize several functions for trajec-level CO2 calculations (<code>*.trajfoot</code>) to reduce the memory needed.</p>
</li>
</ul>
