description: This paper provides a characterization of the completeness of a family of distributions in terms of the copula between the random variables. We give sufficient conditions for a family of Archimedean copulas to be (boundedly) complete. Some copulas are typically excluded in nonparametric IV regression since they have non-square integrable densities. We provide conditions under which we can identify the nonparametric IV regression model if the dependence structure between the regressors and instrument variables can be described by an Archimedean copula.

description: Antimicrobial resistance has been an emerging global issue over the last several decades. Acquired resistance renders antimicrobial agents useless, with a recent report projecting ten million deaths by 2050 caused by drug-resistant infections. In response, research output on biomedical and public health solutions to AMR has significantly increased, including investigations on active compounds in medicinal plants. Aloe vera is known for anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and cell proliferative properties stemming from its anthraquinones, flavonoids, and polysaccharides. In this review, Team Aloesporin applied qualitative and quantitative techniques to characterize the state of AMR awareness and discuss Aloe vera’s capacity for serving as an antimicrobial, wound-healing agent. First, a public opinion survey was distributed at the University of Maryland, College Park to assess community knowledge of antimicrobial resistance and related practices. Aloe vera’s potency was then investigated through a minimum inhibitory concentration assay with Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Lastly, a cell proliferation assay was designed for dermal fibroblasts with 2.5% w/v Aloe vera, 100 nM methylene blue, and 100 nM bacitracin-supplemented media. Though the public opinions survey provided insight into the gaps in knowledge surrounding antimicrobial resistance and consumer practices, the preliminary bacterial and dermal fibroblast assays yielded inconclusive results regarding Aloe vera’s respective antibacterial and proliferative effects. This research suggests a need for further investigation of the optimal state and concentration of Aloe vera for wound-healing and effective antimicrobial stewardship to address the escalating issue of antimicrobial resistance.

description: The advent of quantum devices, which exploit the two essential elements of quantum physics, coherence and entanglement, has sparked renewed interest in the control of open quantum systems. Successful implementations face the challenge to preserve the relevant nonclassical features at the level of device operation. A major obstacle is decoherence which is caused by interaction with the environment. Optimal control theory is a tool that can be used to identify control strategies in the presence of decoherence. We review here recent advances in optimal control methodology that allow for tackling typical tasks in device operation for open quantum systems and discuss examples of relaxation-optimized dynamics. Optimal control theory is also a useful tool to exploit the environment for control. We discuss examples and point out possible future extensions.

description: Nuclear-fusion-based power generation has a multitude of potential applications, one being spacecraft propulsion. The extreme specific impulse achievable with fusion prod- ucts provides for large total momentum changes while using substantially less propellant. Several auxiliary subsystems are required to support the application of fusion-based power to spacecraft propulsion. These subsystems include one for efficient propellant heating, one for power generation, and one for reactor shielding and structural integrity. Two centrifugally-confined magnetic mirror configurations are utilized, one to confine the fu- sion plasma and one to trap and heat an auxiliary propellant in order to increase thrust. Estimates on propellant mass requirements and design constraints on the propellant cham- ber are derived. Power generation techniques utilizing byproduct radiation from the fusion process are integrated into the reactor structure. Waste heat from neutron power conver- sion provides preheating of propellant, and a radiator was optimally sized for removing the remaining waste heat. Solid-state thermionic power conversion technology is explored to utilize bremsstrahlung radiation. Models for the magnet shielding are created, and the rate of neutron absorption and energy deposition for several different shielding materials are de- termined. In order to address the tensile and compressive stresses resulting from the fusion reactor magnets, support beam cross-sections are optimized. A system of heat pipes, mag- nets, and an enclosing shroud is designed to support reactor functions and prevent damage to system components. Comparisons are drawn between existing propulsion systems and a model fusion system. The viability of our model fusion system for solar system exploration is discussed.

Grasping versus Knitting: a Geometric Perspective
Creators: name: Laumond, Jean-Paul
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Grasping an object is a matter of first moving a prehensile organ at some position in the world, and then managing the contact relationship between the prehensile organ and the object. Once the contact relationship has been established and made stable, the object is part of the body and it can move in the world. As any action, the action of grasping is ontologically anchored in the physical space while the correlative movement originates in the space of the body. Evolution has found amazing solutions that allow organisms to rapidly and efficiently manage the relationship between their body and the world. It is then natural that roboticists consider taking inspiration of these natural solutions, while contributing to better understand their origin.

description: We report the development of quantum microscopic theory of quasi-resonant dipole-dipole interaction in the ensembles of impurity atoms imbedded into transparent dielectric and located into Fabry-Perot cavity. On the basis of the general approach we study the simultaneous influence of the cavity and resonant dipole-dipole interaction on the shape of the line of atomic transition as well as on light trapping in dense impurity ensembles. We analyze this influence depending on the size of the ensemble, its density, as well as on r.m.s. deviation of the transition frequency shifts caused by the symmetry disturbance of the internal fields of the dielectric medium. Obtained results are compared with the case when the cavity is absent. We show that the cavity can essentially modify cooperative polyatomic effects.

description: We show that for lattice-mismatched zinc-blende-type (110)-grown quantum wells a significant contribution to the zero-magnetic-field spin splitting of electron subbands comes from strain-induced spin-orbit coupling. Combining envelope function theory and atomistic tight-binding approach we calculate spin-orbit splitting constants for realistic quantum wells. It is found that the strain due to lattice mismatch in conventional GaAs/AlGaAs structures may noticeably modify the spin splitting while in InGaAs/GaAs structures it plays a major role and may even change the sign of the spin splitting constant.

Cross-Cultural Differences in Students' Intention to Use RSS Feeds between Lebanon and the United Kingdom: A Multi-Group Invariance Analysis Based on the Technology Acceptance Model

description: Really Simple Syndication (RSS) offers a means for university students to receive timely updates from virtual learning environments. However, despite its utility, only 21% of students surveyed at a Lebanese university claim to have ever used the technology. To investigate whether a cultural influence is affecting intention to use RSS, the survey was extended to the British context to conduct a cross-cultural comparison. Using the Technology Adoption Model (TAM) as a research framework, 437 students responded to a questionnaire containing four constructs: intention to use (INT); attitude towards benefit (ATT); perceived usefulness (PU); and perceived ease of use (PEOU). Principle components analysis (PCA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used to explore the psychometric qualities of the scale. The results show that adoption was significantly higher, but also modest, in the British context at 36%. Configural and metric invariance were fully supported, while scalar and factorial invariance were partially supported. Analysis reveals that, as a potential consequence of culture, there are significant differences between PU and PEOU across the two contexts studied, potentially as a consequence of culture. It is recommended that faculty demonstrate to students how RSS can be used effectively in order to increase awareness and emphasise usefulness.

description: We discuss the possibility of generating a light composite scalar boson, in a scenario that we may generically call Technicolor, or in any variation of a strongly interacting theory, where by light we mean a scalar composite mass about one order of magnitude below the characteristic scale of the strong theory. Instead of most of the studies about a composite Higgs boson, which are based on effective Lagrangians, we consider this problem in the framework of non-perturbative solutions of the fermionic Schwinger-Dyson and Bethe-Salpeter equations. We study a range of mechanisms proposed during the recent years to form such light composite boson, and verify that such possibility seems to be necessarily associated to a fermionic self-energy that decreases slowly with the momentum.

description: Some very large (>0.1 um) presolar grains are sampled in meteorites. We reconsider the lifetime of very large grains (VLGs) in the interstellar medium focusing on interstellar shattering caused by turbulence-induced large velocity dispersions. This path has never been noted as a dominant mechanism of destruction. We show that, if interstellar shattering is the main mechanism of destruction of VLGs, their lifetime is estimated to be $\gtrsim 10^8$ yr; in particular, very large SiC grains can survive cosmic-ray exposure time. However, most presolar SiC grains show residence times significantly shorter than 1 Gyr, which may indicate that there is a more efficient mechanism than shattering in destroying VLGs, or that VLGs have larger velocity dispersions than 10 km s$^{-1}$. We also argue that the enhanced lifetime of SiC relative to graphite can be the reason why we find SiC among $μ$m-sized presolar grains, while the abundance of SiC in the normal interstellar grains is much lower than graphite.

description: Rapidity distributions of both E895 proton data at AGS energies and NA49 net proton data at SPS energies can be described reasonably well with a potential version of the UrQMD in which mean-field potentials for both pre-formed hadrons and confined baryons are considered, with the help of a traditional coalescence afterburner in which one parameter set for both relative distance $R_0$ and relative momentum $P_0$, (3.8 fm, 0.3 GeV$/$c), is used. Because of the large cancellation between the expansion in $R_0$ and the shrinkage in $P_0$ through the Lorentz transformation, the relativistic effect in clusters has little effect on the rapidity distribution of free (net) protons. Using a Woods-Saxon-like function instead of a pure logarithmic function as seen by FOPI collaboration at SIS energies, one can fit well both the data at SIS energies and the UrQMD calculation results at AGS and SPS energies. Further, it is found that for central Au+Au or Pb+Pb collisions at top SIS, SPS and RHIC energies, the proton fractions in clusters are about 33$\%$, 10$\%$, and 0.7$\%$, respectively.

description: DNA nanotechnology has been a growing field of research for the last four decades. There have been extensive efforts to design and construct nanostructures such as one-dimensional arrays, two-dimensional lattices, three-dimensional polyhedra, nanowires, molecular computers, and nanoswitches. The aim of this thesis is to design and characterize self-assembled single-stranded DNA(ssDNA) layered-crossover tiles that consist of two or three pairs of kissing loops. Two tiles have been designed to have 90-degree and 180-degree kissing loop interactions. Denature PAGE, Native PAGE, Agarose Gel, Thermocycler, and AFM methods have been used to analyze the characteristics of each tile Design.

description: An expression is obtained on the basis of phase perturbation theory for the contribution to the mean differential reflection coefficient from the in-plane co-polarized component of the light scattered diffusely from a two-dimensional randomly rough dielectric surface when the latter is illuminated by s-polarized light. This result forms the basis for an approach to inverting experimental light scattering data to obtain the normalized surface height autocorrelation function of the surface. Several parametrized forms of this correlation function, and the minimization of a cost function with respect to the parameters defining these representations, are used in the inversion scheme. This approach also yields the rms height of the surface roughness, and the dielectric constant of the dielectric substrate if it is not known in advance. The input data used in validating this inversion consists of computer simulation results for surfaces defined by exponential and Gaussian surface height correlation functions, without and with the addition of multiplicative noise, for a single or multiple angles of incidence. The reconstructions obtained by this approach are quite accurate for weakly rough surfaces, and the proposed inversion scheme is computationally efficient.

description: A potential version of the UrQMD (UrQMD/M) transport model and a traditional coalescence model are combined to calculate the production of $^3$He fragments in central Pb+Pb collisions at SPS energies 20-80 GeV/nucleon.

The rapidity distribution of $^3$He multiplicities (including the concave shape) can be described well with UrQMD/M when it stops during t$_{\rm cut}$=100$\pm$25 fm$/c$ and the coalescence afterburner with one parameter set of ($R_0$,$P_0$)=(3.8 fm, 0.3 GeV$/$c) is taken into use afterwards.

description: Contextuality in quantum physics provides a key resource for quantum information and computation. The topological approach in [Abramsky and Brandenburger, New J. Phys., 2011, Abramsky et al., CSL 2015, 2015] characterizes contextuality as "global inconsistency" coupled with "local consistency", revealing it to be a phenomenon also found in many other fields. This has yielded a logical method of detecting and proving the "global inconsistency" part of contextuality. Our goal is to capture the other, "local consistency" part, which requires a novel approach to logic that is sensitive to the topology of contexts. To achieve this, we formulate a logic of local inference by using context-sensitive theories and models in regular categories. This provides a uniform framework for local consistency, and lays a foundation for high-level methods of detecting, proving, and moreover using contextuality as computational resource.

description: Metastatic cervical lymph nodes are a frequent finding in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). If a non-surgical approach is primarily chosen, a therapy response evaluation of the primary tumor and the affected lymph nodes is necessary in the follow-up. Supplementary contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can be used to precisely visualize the microcirculation of the target lesion in the neck, whereby malignant and benign findings differ in their uptake behavior. The same applies to many other solid tumors. For various tumor entities, it has already been shown that therapy monitoring is possible through regular contrast-enhanced sonography of the primary tumor or the affected lymph nodes. Thus, in some cases, maybe in the future, a change in therapy strategy can be achieved at an early stage in the case of non-response or, in the case of therapy success, a de-escalation of subsequent (surgical) measures can be achieved. In this paper, a systematic review of the available studies and a discussion of the potential of therapy monitoring by means of CEUS in HNSCC are presented.

description: Depending on whether a T Tauri star accretes material from its circumstellar disk or not, different X-ray emission properties can be found. The accretion shocks produce cool heating of the plasma, contributing to the soft X-ray emission from the star. Using X-ray data from the Chandra Orion Ultra-deep Project and accretion rates that were obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 photometric measurements in the Orion Nebula Cluster, we studied the relation between the accretion processes and the X-ray emissions of a coherent sample of T Tauri sources in the region. We performed regression and correlation analyses of our sample of T Tauri stars between the X-ray parameters, stellar properties, and the accretion measurements. We find that a clear anti-correlation is present between the residual X-ray luminosity and the accretion rates in our samples in Orion that is consistent with that found on the XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus molecular cloud (XEST) study. We provide a catalog with X-ray luminosities (corrected from distance) and accretion measurements of an Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) T Tauri stars sample. Although Orion and Taurus display strong differences in their properties (total gas and dust mass, star density, strong irradiation from massive stars), we find that a similar relation between the residual X-ray emission and accretion rate is present in the Taurus molecular cloud and in the accreting samples from the Orion Nebula Cluster. The spread in the data suggests dependencies of the accretion rates and the X-ray luminosities other than the stellar mass, but the similarity between Orion and Taurus hints at the environment not being one of them. The anti-correlation between the residual X-ray luminosity and mass accretion rate is inherent to the T Tauri stars in general, independent of their birthplace and environment, and intrinsic to early stellar evolution.

description: In the ongoing and aggravating global climate crisis, the effects of ecological disruption on firms, investors, and society as a whole are being increasingly investigated in the literature. Physical risks, such as increasing average temperatures or rising sea levels, are believed to be the top climate-related risk factor for investors over a time horizon of 30 years and motivate the currently increasing demand for green assets. However, the empirical literature is divided on how green assets perform in comparison to non-green assets, and whether the firm performance is influenced by corporate social performance. Furthermore, the impact of implemented measures for greenhouse gas emission reduction on financial markets remains ambiguous. The underlying thesis covers these aspects and contributes to the growing strain of literature on sustainable finance. The first chapter investigates the relationship between ESG ratings and the probability of corporate credit default, while the second chapter focuses on volatility spillover effects between carbon emission allowance future prices and European stock market sector indices. The last chapter contributes to the understanding of how investors value sustainability under the classical expected utility theory using varying levels of risk aversion.

description: The ICSU-WDS & RDA Publishing Data Services group proposes an approach to sharing information about the links between the literature and research data. A set of hubs will collect literature­data (as well as data­data) links from their natural communities using minor extensions to existing local procedures and, in some cases, inference. The hubs agree on an interoperability framework with a common information model and open exchange methods, optimised for exchanging information among the hubs. The hubs will serve as an enabling global information infrastructure for the development of (third party) services.

description: We investigate the inclusion of variable spins in electronic structure quantum Monte Carlo, with a focus on diffusion Monte Carlo with Hamiltonians that include spin-orbit interactions. Following our previous introduction of fixed-phase spin-orbit diffusion Monte Carlo (FPSODMC), we thoroughly discuss the details of the method and elaborate upon its technicalities. We present a proof for an upper-bound property for complex nonlocal operators, which allows for the implementation of T-moves to ensure the variational property. We discuss the time step biases associated with our particular choice of spin representation. Applications of the method are also presented for atomic and molecular systems. We calculate the binding energies and geometry of the PbH and Sn$_2$ molecules, as well as the electron affinities of the 6$p$ row elements in close agreement with experiments.

description: The utilization of biomass is one of the major challenges for the transition from fossil to renewable resources. Often, the separation of the desired product from the reaction mixture is the most energy-intensive step. Liquid-phase adsorption is a promising separation technology that could significantly improve downstream processing in biorefineries. Highly hydrophobic adsorbents were applied for the separation of lactic acid (LA) from aqueous solutions and to avoid the formation of gypsum as a byproduct. High uptakes and selectivity were obtained in single-solute and co-adsorption experiments. Porous hyper-crosslinked polymers (HCP) and polymer-based spherical activated carbon performed best and showed excellent selectivity for the selective removal of LA. Desorption experiments revealed that HCP was the ideal adsorbent for the separation of LA from aqueous solution and enabled the production of gypsum-free LA.

description: Cybersecurity failure in the private sector is a growing federal policy priority. Nevertheless, US policy makers struggle with policy instrumentation in this domain. Behavioral public policy theory asserts that a linkage exists between policy target behavioral & cultural attributes and effective policy tool instrumentation. The federal government is now embracing a regulation heavy approach, but little empirical study exists at the nexus of behavioral public policy theory and use of regulatory tools in the cybersecurity policy domain. Since the early 2000s, the financial sector has employed a regulation heavy approach using the Safeguards regulations to facilitate cybersecurity in financial private sector companies. The US financial sector enjoys the behavioral attributes that should make regulation an effective instrument for achieving cybersecurity policy ends. This dissertation leverages secondary cross – sectional data from 2005 – 2020 and difference in difference analysis in demonstrating that the Safeguards regulations have resulted in a statistically significant difference in the severity of a successful breaches and the likelihood of a successful breaches in financial sector companies relative to companies not in the financial sector and not subject to cybersecurity regulations. These findings extend the viability of behavioral public policy theory in a previously unexplored policy domain and, with some caveats, support the feasibility of regulation as tool to facilitate cybersecurity in the private sector.

description: We study matter-coupled $N=3$ gauged supergravity in four dimensions with various semisimple gauge groups. When coupled to $n$ vector multiplets, the gauged supergravity contains $3+n$ vector fields and $3n$ complex scalars parametrized by $SU(3,n)/SU(3)\times SU(n)\times U(1)$ coset manifold. Semisimple gauge groups take the form of $G_0\times H\subset SO(3,n)\subset SU(3,n)$ with $H$ being a compact subgroup of $SO(n+3-\textrm{dim}(G_0))$. The $G_0$ groups considered in this paper are of the form $SO(3)$, $SO(3,1)$, $SO(2,2)$, $SL(3,\mathbb{R})$ and $SO(2,1)\times SO(2,2)$. We find that $SO(3)\times SO(3)$, $SO(3,1)$ and $SL(3,\mathbb{R})$ gauge groups admit a maximally supersymmetric $AdS_4$ critical point. The $SO(2,1)\times SO(2,2)$ gauge group admits a supersymmetric Minkowski vacuum while the remaining gauge groups admit both half-supersymmetric domain wall vacua and $AdS_4$ vacua with completely broken supersymmetry. For the $SO(3)\times SO(3)$ gauge group, there exists another supersymmetric $N=3$ $AdS_4$ critical point with $SO(3)_{\textrm{diag}}$ symmetry. We explicitly give a detailed study of various holographic RG flows between $AdS_4$ critical points, flows to non-conformal theories and supersymmetric domain walls in each gauge group. The results provide gravity duals of $N=3$ Chern-Simons-Matter theories in three dimensions.

description: In this paper we investigate the coherence properties of a quantum dot under two-photon resonant excitation in combination with an additional photo-neutralization laser. The photo-neutralization increases the efficiency of the excitation process and thus, the brightness of the source, by a factor of approximately 1.5 for biexciton-exciton pairs. This enhancement does not degrade the relevant coherences in the system; neither the single photon coherence time, nor the coherence of the excitation process.

description: This study investigated the effects of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001 supplementation on the architecture and gene expression in small intestinal tissues of piglets used as an animal model for infant humans. Twenty-four 10-d-old entire male piglets (4·3 (sd 0·59) kg body weight) were fed an infant formula (IF) (control) or IF supplemented with 1·3 × 105 (low dose) or 7·9 × 106 (high dose) colony-forming units HN001 per ml of reconstituted formula (n 8 piglets/treatment). After 24 d, piglets were euthanised. Samples were collected to analyse the histology and gene expression (RNAseq and qPCR) in the jejunal and ileal tissues, blood cytokine concentrations, and blood and faecal calprotectin concentrations. HN001 consumption altered (false discovery rate < 0·05) gene expression (RNAseq) in jejunal tissues but not in ileal tissues. The number of ileal goblet cells and crypt surface area increased quadratically (P < 0·05) as dietary HN001 levels increased, but no increase was observed in the jejunal tissues. Similarly, blood plasma concentrations of IL-10 and calprotectin increased linearly (P < 0·05) as dietary HN001 levels increased. In conclusion, supplementation of IF with HN001 affected the architecture and gene expression of small intestine tissue, blood cytokine concentration and frequencies, and blood calprotectin concentrations, indicating that HN001 modulated small intestinal tissue maturation and immunity in the piglet model.
