Quantum state reconstruction and tomography using phase-sensitive light detection
… setup that is capable of performing coherent state tomography. We fully characterize it in order to verify whether or not it will be capable to perform non-demolition homodyne detection of squeezed light in a high-finesse cavity QED setup with an ensemble of Cesium atoms coupled to the cavity. …

Indigenising post-war state reconstruction. The Case of Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Current approaches to post-war state reconstruction are primarily dominated by the liberal peace thesis. These approaches tend to ignore the indigenous institutions, societal resources and cultural agencies of post-conflict societies, although such entities are rooted in the sociological, …

Fanaticos, Exiles and the Mexico-U.S. Border: Episodes of Mexican State Reconstruction, 1923-1929
Fanaticos, Exiles and the Mexico-United States Border: Episodes of Mexican State Reconstruction, 1923-1929,' examines the major challenges to state reconstruction in Mexico in the wake of its decade of revolutionary violence, 1910-1920. The Mexican state, since the beginning of the revolution, …

Chieftaincy reform, decentralisation and post-conflict state reconstruction and peacebuilding in Sierra Leone 2004-2012
… practices on post-war peacebuilding and state reconstruction in transition societies. It also contributes to the existing literature on post-conflict peacebuilding by positing that there is a huge challenge to the Liberal Peace paradigm in bringing about peace in war-torn societies.

System identification and state reconstruction for autonomous navigation of an underwater vehicle in an acoustic net
… part of the observer used to generate complete state estimates from the position measurements. An experimental apparatus and numerical analysis technique for vehicle system identification during the thruster induced hover limit cycle are described. Detailed comparisons to other techniques are …

Phylogenetics and biogeography of Australian subterranean Parabathynellidae.
… framework, in combination with an ancestral state reconstruction analysis, was used to explore the evolution of two key morphological characters previously used to define genera, and assess the oligomerization principle (i.e. serial appendage reduction over time), which is commonly invoked in …

Insurgents, Rebel Governance and State-building in sub-Saharan Africa
… about how rebel governance influences long-term state reconstruction after conflict. The main objective of this research is to address this gap. The research also explores governance activities of rebel groups within two main periods: during conflict, and when groups transitioned to rulers, with …

Ancestral Genome Reconstruction in Bacteria
… has provided a golden opportunity for ancestral state reconstruction studies, especially in the whole genome reconstruction area. However, most ancestral genome reconstruction methods developed so far only focus on gene or replicon sequences instead of whole genomes. They rely largely on either …

State feedback control with time delay
… and active schemes. We introduce the problem of state feedback control and provide the classical solution in the form of Ackermann formula. We then identify the limitations of the classical approach and present the more elegant solution of partial pole assignment without spillover. We highlight …

Evolution of Floral Morphology and Symmetry in the Miconieae (Melastomataceae)
… I analyzed trait evolution with ancestral state reconstruction of discrete and continuous characters with R packages <em>ape</em> and <em>phytools</em>. Trait correlation was estimated with Pagel’s statistical method for discrete characters and with regression analysis of phylogenetically …

Computational Bayesian techniques applied to cosmology
… astrophysical data. A dark energy equation of state reconstruction analysis finds that the data favours the vacuum dark energy equation of state $w {=} -1$ model. Deviations from vacuum dark energy are shown to favour the super-negative ‘phantom’ dark energy regime of $w {<} -1$, but at low …

The evolution of annuality in association with a shift to more arid environments in the daisy genera Ifloga and Tricogyne
… annuality and growth form. Ancestral character states for life history characters and climate variables were mapped onto a molecular phylogeny (obtained using plastid trnL-trnF and psbA-trnH and nuclear ETS sequences) of the genera Trichogyne and Ifloga (Asteraceae). Bayesian methods were used …

Discrete-time control of a spacecraft with retargetable flexible antennas
… are proposed for a noise-free system with full-state feedback. Initially, a time-varying linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) is implemented, followed by two types of decentralized controllers. First, a collocated control law is devised in which actuator forces are based on the position and velocity …

Comparative Morphology and Macroevolution of the Avian Quadrate
… categories and perform ancestral shape reconstructions in the context of an up‐to‐date galloanseran phylogeny as a case study. We found non-ecological factors, such as allometry and phylogeny, exhibit stronger relationships with quadrate shape than ecological factors do. The avian …

Molecular Systematics of <i>Isoëtes</i> (Isoëtaceae) in Eastern North America
… were fully resolved with high support. Ancestral state reconstruction of megaspore and microspore ornamentation, megaspore color, and seasonality of spore maturation found that more than 80% of these character state transitions occurred on terminal tips of the tree, and that some shared …

Evolution of Male Gametes in Liverworts
… Mesquite was used to perform an ancestral state reconstruction using maximum likelihood with Mk1and AsymmMk parameter models. Haplomitriopsida taxa (Haplomitrium and Treubia) shared several characters including more than one plastid, more than two mitochondria, wide spline width, and left …

Magnitude, concentration, and metric complexity in phylogenetics and information theory
