description: The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment planned at Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will provide a major scientific effort for exploring the properties of strongly interacting matter in the high baryon density regime. One of the important goal behind such experiment is to precisely determine the equation of state (EOS) for the strongly interacting matter at extreme baryon density. In this paper, we have used a thermal model EOS incorporating excluded volume description for the hot and dense hadron gas (HG). We then predict different particle ratios and the total multiplicity of various hadrons in the CBM energy range i.e. from $10$ A GeV to $40$ A GeV lab energies, which corresponds to $4.43$ A GeV and $8.71$ A GeV center-of-mass energies. Our main emphasis is to estimate the strange particles enhancement as well as increase in the net baryon density in CBM experiment. We have also compared our results with the results obtained from various other theoretical approaches existing in the literature such as hadron string dynamics (HSD) model and ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD) etc.

title: QUANTIFICATION OF THERMAL BRIDGING EFFECTS IN COLD-FORMED STEEL WALL ASSEMBLIES
Creators: name: Kapoor, Divyansh
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

description: Thermal bridging can be defined as the phenomenon where a structural element spanning the building envelope acts like a thermal pathway which collects and moves energy (heat) from the interior to the exterior of the structure. CFS construction, due to the high thermal conductivity of steel with respect to its surrounding structural components and repetitive nature of framing, is highly prone to thermal bridging. Thermal bridging significantly alters the thermal performance of wall assemblies.
Hence, the objective of this research project was to quantify the magnitude of energy loss through cold-formed steel (CFS) stud wall assemblies at a component level to lay the groundwork for future works that promote sustainable, energy-efficient, and improved building design recommendations.
Therefore, a parametric evaluation was performed using ISO 10211:2007, Annex A, conforming heat transfer software Blocon Heat3 version 8 to generate the data required for analysis. 80 unique wall assemblies and the impact of selected parameters on the overall thermal transmittance of the wall assembly were studied as part of the parametric evaluation. The key variables of the study are steel thickness, stud depth, stud spacing, cavity insulation R-value, external insulation thickness (R-value), and fastener diameter and length.
Based on the results of the analysis, effects of increasing stud and track thickness, depth, and stud spacing have been discussed in the form of trends in overall heat flow and linear thermal transmittance coefficient values. Additionaly, effects of increasing external insulation have been discussed by addressing changes in heat flow.

description: Imposing a separability assumption on the joint surplus in transferable utility matching models has proved very useful in empirical work. Yet when only “who matches whom” is observed, the distributions of unobserved heterogeneity cannot be identified separately. This note derives the distribution of equiilibrium transfers and shows that if the distribution of transfers within cells is observed, the distribution of heterogeneity can often be recovered, separability can be tested, and complementarities in surplus inferred.

description: The aim of this study was to identify Work style related and other ergonomic risk factors that may be associated with the onset or exacerbation of Work Related
Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSD) among Information Technology (IT) professionals and to look for the correlation between the two. It is a retrospective report analysis of 5331 professionals working for various IT companies in India. Ergonomic workplace analysis reports of those employees were analysed retrospectively. Report consisted of Demographic data (age, gender etc.), workstation information, working posture information, perceived pain and discomfort, and workstyle questionnaire addressing psychosocial factors. Majority of respondents were males and used laptops, desktops and sometimes both for their work. Majority of the workers worked more than 8 hours but there were significant number who worked less than 3 hours and still had symptoms. Neck pain
and lower back pain were the more prevalent, followed by wrist, upper back and shoulder pain. 80% of participants worked with their upper arm and shoulders raised and away from the body. The short form workstyle questionnaire score analysis indicated significant participants with a high risk score (score ≥ 28) for adverse workstyle. Correlation coefficient analyses indicated a significant positive correlation between workstyle score and pain, and posture and regional pain.
title: Adaptive numerical techniques for problems related to flow in porous media
Creators: name: Ashby, Ben
Publisher: name: University of Reading

description: The solution of partial differential equations modelling water infiltration into soil poses many challenges. The multi-scale and nonlinear nature of soil makes the design of robust and accurate numerical schemes particularly dif�ficult. In addition, error estimation is complicated by low solution regularity. In this thesis, we investigate the mathematical and numerical aspects of the approximation of problems related to subsurface flow by the finite element method. We begin with a variational inequality as a simplified model (albeit of significant interest and complexity in its own right) of a seepage problem. The so-called Signorini problem includes many of the key difficulties, namely nonlinear boundary conditions and lack of dual regularity. We derive rig�orous and computable a posteriori error estimates using duality arguments that require careful analysis of primal and dual problems. Crucial in this ar�gument is the design of a novel nonlinear bound-preserving interpolant that respects various inequalities related to the weak form of the problem. These estimates are used to implement a mesh adaptive routine. We then study a physically realistic seepage problem complete with nonlinear coefficients and mixed boundary conditions and inequality constraints. This time, we apply the dual-weighted residual framework of a posteriori error estimation and derive error estimates that are used to optimise the computational mesh for a quantity of interest. The estimates are tested on realistic groundwater scenarios that utilise field data. We conclude with a numerical study of a time-dependent and nonlinear model of two-dimensional subsurface flow. We introduce a method to regularise the nonlinearity in the soil porosity function and derive a posteriori error estimates that account for this approximation in linear elliptic and parabolic cases. We show that in the nonlinear parabolic case, this regularisation mitigates the commonly observed failure of nonlinear solvers for Richards’ equation.

description: We explicitly construct and classify all Jordanian solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation on $\mathfrak{psu}(2,2|4)$, corresponding to Jordanian Yang-Baxter deformations of the $AdS_5\times S^5$ superstring. Such deformations preserve the classical integrability of the underlying sigma-model and thus are a subclass of all possible integrable deformations. The deformations that we consider are divided into two families, unimodular and non-unimodular ones. The former ensure that the deformed backgrounds are still solutions of the type IIB supergravity equations. For the simplest unimodular solutions, we find that the corresponding backgrounds preserve a number $N<32$ of supercharges that can be $N=12,8,6,4,0$.

description: Forensic psychiatry thrives within the complex overlap of two seemingly distinct realms: the legal arena and the field of psychiatry. It focuses on evaluating and treating mental disorders when they appear linked to criminal behavior. Forensic psychiatry has evolved into a recognized discipline with a robust background of scientific inquiry, primarily because mental health care has always had a significant interface with the law. While it is fundamentally a clinical discipline, it also demands a comprehensive understanding of the law for effective clinical practice.

description: Conformal geometry is considered within a general relativistic framework. An invariant distant for proper time is defined and a parallel displacement is applied in the distorted space-time, modifying Einstein's equation appropriately. A particular solution is introduced for the covariant acceleration potential that matches the observed velocity distribution at large distances from the galactic centre, i.e. Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). This explicit solution, of a general framework that allows both curvature and explicit local expansion of space-time, thus reproduces the observed flattening of galaxys' rotation curves without the need to assume the existence of dark matter. The large distance expansion rate is found to match the speed of a spherical shock wave.

description: We investigate the power spectrum of the distortion of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) due to the decay of the primordial magnetic fields. It is known that there are two-types of the CMB distortions, so-called μ- and y-types and we find that the signal of the y-type distortion becomes larger than that of the μ-type one. We also discuss cross power spectra between the CMB distortions and the CMB temperature anisotropy, which are naturally generated due to the existence of the primordial magnetic fields. We find that such cross power spectra have small amplitudes compared with the auto-power spectra of the CMB distortions because of the Silk damping effect of the temperature anisotropy. We also investigate the possibility of detecting such signal in the future CMB experiments, including not only absolutely calibrated experiments such as PIXIE but also relatively calibrated experiments such as LiteBIRD and CMBpol.

description: We present a minimal extension of the standard model that includes a long-lived fermion with weak-scale mass and an ${\cal O}({\rm GeV})$ fermionic dark matter candidate both of which are coupled to quarks. Decays of a TeV-scale colored scalar in a radiation-dominated phase bring the former to a thermal abundance while also producing dark matter. The long-lived fermion then dominates the energy density of the Universe and drives a period of early matter domination. It decays to reheat the Universe, mainly through baryon-number-violating interactions that also generate a baryon asymmetry, with a small branching fraction to dark matter. We find the allowed parameter space of the model and show that it can be probed by proposed long-lived particle searches as well as next-generation neutron-antineutron oscillation experiments. This model provides a robust explanation of dark matter and baryogenesis as long as the Universe is in a radiation-dominated phase at $T \gtrsim {\cal O}({\rm TeV})$.

description: This study provides an in-depth management and policy analysis of the independent contractor model in the modern U.S. economy. We pay extensive attention to the complex issue of misclassifying employees as contractors, a minor, but salient issue on the nation’s political and regulatory agenda. The report is divided into three sections:
• Part I discusses the independent contracting model and relevant issues of organizational management.
• Part II analyzes most common types of independent contractors, varied across industries and varied by size and discusses the complex policy and legal environment that independent contractors operate under in the United States.
• Part III concludes with a discussion of independent contracting’s place in the current and future U.S. economy amid recently heightened national scrutiny and includes a discussion of best practices for companies who engage with independent contractors.
A Biopsychosocial Examination of Appraisal Discrepancy in Stroke Survivors

subject: Clinical neuropsychology

description: Appraisal discrepancy may occur when a person with brain injury disagrees with others (clinicians, family) about the presence or extent of their impairments. Appraisal discrepancy has demonstrated links to poorer rehabilitation outcomes in other clinical populations, but research in stroke survivors has been limited. Using questionnaires and interviews, this thesis characterised how discrepancies present in stroke survivors. It subsequently identified several potential risk factors for discrepancies and found evidence to suggest that discrepancies might be associated with poorer outcomes for stroke survivors and their close others. The thesis concluded with recommendations for assessment and management to improve outcomes of affected stroke survivors.

description: Earth's magnetic field is generated by processes in the electrically conducting, liquid outer core, subsumed under the term `geodynamo'. In the last decades, great effort has been put into the numerical simulation of core dynamics following from the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. However, the numerical simulations are far from Earth's core in terms of several control parameters. Different scaling analyses found simple scaling laws for quantities like heat transport, flow velocity, magnetic field strength and magnetic dissipation time. We use an extensive dataset of 116 numerical dynamo models compiled by Christensen and co-workers to analyse these scalings from a rigorous model selection point of view. Our method of choice is leave-one-out cross-validation which rates models according to their predictive abilities. In contrast to earlier results, we find that diffusive processes are not negligible for the flow velocity and magnetic field strength in the numerical dynamos. Also the scaling of the magnetic dissipation time turns out to be more complex than previously suggested. Assuming that the processes relevant in the numerical models are the same as in Earth's core, we use this scaling to estimate an Ohmic dissipation of 3-8 TW for the core. This appears to be consistent with recent high CMB heat flux scenarios.

description: We develop a method to identify and determine the physical properties of stellar associations using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) NUV-U-B-V-I imaging of nearby galaxies from the PHANGS-HST survey. We apply a watershed algorithm to density maps constructed from point source catalogues Gaussian smoothed to multiple physical scales from 8 to 64 pc. We develop our method on two galaxies that span the distance range in the PHANGS-HST sample: NGC 3351 (10 Mpc), NGC 1566 (18 Mpc). We test our algorithm with different parameters such as the choice of detection band for the point source catalogue (NUV or V), source density image filtering methods, and absolute magnitude limits. We characterise the properties of the resulting multi-scale associations, including sizes, number of tracer stars, number of associations, photometry, as well as ages, masses, and reddening from Spectral Energy Distribution fitting. Our method successfully identifies structures that occupy loci in the UBVI colour-colour diagram consistent with previously published catalogues of clusters and associations. The median ages of the associations increases from log(age/yr) = 6.6 to log(age/yr) = 6.9 as the spatial scale increases from 8 pc to 64 pc for both galaxies. We find that the youngest stellar associations, with ages < 3 Myr, indeed closely trace H ii regions in H$α$ imaging, and that older associations are increasingly anti-correlated with the H$α$ emission. Owing to our new method, the PHANGS-HST multi-scale associations provide a far more complete census of recent star formation activity than found with previous cluster and compact association catalogues. The method presented here will be applied to the full sample of 38 PHANGS-HST galaxies.
description: Submitted to MNRAS. Referee report received with minor comments, and "request to clarify if the smaller associations are always included in the larger ones and how this may affect the photometric fitting of the larger association if the groups have different ages." Revision in progress
Against the Grain: Therapeutic Judging in a Traditional Family Court

description: The last several decades have seen a proliferation of specialized courts, including within the family court system, that deviate from the adversarial model, and that rely on therapeutic jurisprudence and other problem-solving techniques. Whether and how traditional family courts can incorporate the best practices of these specialized courts is a largely understudied area. Drawing from ethnographic observations of a traditional urban family court, this study finds that some judges are able to transform nontherapeutic courtrooms into therapeutic ones despite obstacles. These “against the grain” actors, who act contrary to the institution's dominant norms and practices, demonstrate how therapeutic jurisprudence and other problem-solving techniques can be utilized in traditional courtrooms.
title: Perfective Marker Dao in the Nanjiang Dialect

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: This thesis examines the perfective marker dao in the Nanjiang dialect and traces such usage in history. The morpheme dao in the language variety can be used as perfective marker in a variety of constructions, whereas in the Early Modern Chinese period dao's perfective use was relatively limited: measure phrases are employed to modify either the main verb or the object of a transitive verb. By reflecting on semantic changes of dao taking place in Early Modern Chinese, we suggest that relativization is a key step in the development of dao as an aspectual marker, that is, V(erb) dao O(bject) may be a direct reanalysis of V dao (as a modifier) + Head Noun, different from what is assumed in the literature, the substitution/analogy hypothesis about how the object of a transitive verb is placed after the post-verbal particles like le.

description: This Article analyses debates in US antebellum constitutionalism on the “autonomy” of the US federal order in light of similar debates in contemporary EU constitutionalism. In the early American republic, two interrelated questions permeated constitutional theory: what was the nature of the federal order that had been created by the ratification of the US Constitution, and who was the final arbiter in constitutional questions. Today, EU constitutional lawyers would have no trouble recognising these debates, which are essentially re-enacted both in scholarly discussions and in collisions between the Court of Justice and national constitutional courts. This Article starts with a brief historical overview of some of the main constitutional debates in US antebellum constitutionalism, showing that these debates were remarkably similar to issues recently presented by the PSPP judgment of the German Federal Constitu-tional Court and the K 3/21 decision of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal. Secondly, this Article shows that both debates are characterised by a similar asymmetry: proponents of an autonomous federal legal order mainly use functionalist arguments, while proponents of the sovereignty of the states mainly use arguments about the “nature” or “origin” of the federal order. Thirdly, the Article contrasts the framing of the debate about the autonomy of the US federal order with the monism–dualism dichotomy that is central to our thinking about the relationship between national and international law. It shows how this distinction was not relevant to constitutional debates in the early American republic, and how that could cast a different light on the EU legal order today.

description: Dual enrollment is widely seen as a strategy to help advanced high school students begin college early. More recently, interest is growing in using dual enrollment as a way to smooth the transition to college for students traditionally underrepresented in higher education.1 Many scholars and practitioners are coming to believe that high school students who have the opportunity to participate in college courses are more likely to enroll in college and succeed once there. But a number of questions surround this proposition:
• Can traditionally underrepresented students succeed in dual enrollment courses?
• What can be done to help them to succeed?
• What are the costs and benefits associated with dual enrollment for students, families, institutions, and taxpayers?
• What do we know about effective practices in online dual enrollment?
To address these important issues associated with dual enrollment, we draw on the existing research.

description: Combining experimental observations of Quincke roller clusters with computer simulations and a stability analysis, we explore the formation and stability of two interlocked self-propelled dumbbells. For large self-propulsion and significant geometric interlocking, there is a stable joint spinning motion of two dumbbells. The spinning frequency can be tuned by the self-propulsion speed of a single dumbbell, which is controlled by an external electric field for the experiments. For typical experimental parameters the rotating pair is stable with respect to thermal fluctuations but hydrodynamic interactions due to the rolling motion of neighboring dumbbells leads to a break-up of the pair. Our results provide a general insight into the stability of spinning active colloidal molecules which are geometrically locked.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.

description: The Master of Public Administration in Environmental Science and Policy (MPA ESP) began in 2002 to train sophisticated public managers and policymakers who apply innovative, systems-based thinking to environmental issues. Students in the MPA in Environmental Science and Policy program complete a total of 54 credits over the course of an intensive twelve months. The program’s objective is to provide students with the analytic, communication, and work skills required to be problem-solving earth systems professionals. Graduates are prepared for professional careers in the roles of analyst, manager, and translator of scientific knowledge.

The program’s curriculum combines in-depth understanding of the issues of environmental sustainability policy with the traditional analytic and conceptual skills of a master of public administration (MPA) program. Two fundamental insights shape this master’s program: the realization that institutional, social, and economic processes interconnect to both sustain and endanger the planet and the need for professionals who can maintain the health of this interconnected system. Only by combining an understanding of earth systems issues with management strategies will it be possible to cope with the threats to planetary sustainability.

description: We study a reaction-diffusion system on the real line, where the reactions of the species are given by one reversible reaction pair satisfying the mass-action law. We describe different positive limits at both sides of infinityand investigate the long-time behavior. Rescaling space and time according to the parabolic scaling, we show that solutions converge exponentially to a similarity profile when the scaled time goes to infinity. In the original variables, these profiles correspond to asymptotically self-similar behavior describing the phenomenon of diffusive mixing of the different states at infinity.Our method provides global exponential convergence for all initial states with finite relative entropy. For the case with equal stoichiometric coefficients, we can allow for self-similar profiles with arbitrary equilibrated states,while in the other case we need to assume that the two states atinfinity are sufficiently close such that the self-similar profile is relative flat.

description: The sequential appearance of a specific group of embryonal antigens (EA), presumably globulins, was demonstrated in developing maize (Zea mays L.) caryopses using a double immunodiffusion test with absorption of common antigens. Cross immunoelectrophoresis was employed to follow the differential pattern of EA accumulation in the growing scutellum and embryonic axis. The transient nature of two predominant EA seems to indicate their role as specific protein reserves of embryonal tissues. Another presumably organ-specific EA was maintained in callus obtained from a 28-day-old culture of scutellum isolated from the mature non-germinated caryopsis.
Low intensity saturation of an ISB transition by a mid-IR quantum cascade laser

description: We demonstrate that absorption saturation of a mid-infrared intersubband transition can be engineered to occur at moderate light intensities of the order of 10-20 kW$.$cm$^{-2}$ and at room temperature. The structure consists of an array of metal-semiconductor-metal patches hosting a judiciously designed 253 nm thick GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor heterostructure. At low incident intensity the structure operates in the strong light-matter coupling regime and exhibits two absorption peaks at wavelengths close to 8.9 $μ$m. Saturation appears as a transition to the weak coupling regime - and therefore to a single-peaked absorption - when increasing the incident intensity. Comparison with a coupled mode theory model explains the data and permits to infer the relevant system parameters. When the pump laser is tuned at the cavity frequency, the reflectivity decreases with increasing incident intensity. When instead the laser is tuned at the polariton frequencies, the reflectivity non-linearly increases with increasing incident intensity. At those wavelengths the system therefore mimics the behavior of a saturable absorption mirror (SESAM) in the mid-IR range, a technology that is currently missing.

description: Magnetization, neutron diffraction and X-ray diffraction of Zn doped MnV2O4 as a function of temperature have been measured and the critical exponents and magnetocaloric effect of this system have been estimated. It is observed, that with increase in Zn substitution the noncollinear orientation of Mn spins with the V spins decreases which effectively leads to the decrease of structural transition temperature more rapidly than Curie temperature. It has been shown that the obtained values of β, γ and δ from different methods match very well. These values do not belong to universal class and the values are in between the 3D Heisenberg model and mean field interaction model. The magnetization data follow the scaling equation and collapse into two branches indicating that the calculated critical exponents and critical temperature are unambiguous and intrinsic to the system. The observed double peaks in magneto-caloric curve of Mn0.95Zn0.05V2O4 is due to the strong distortion of VO6 octahedra.

description: Social entrepreneurs navigate a complex landscape of legal structures in which they need to select among for-profit, nonprofit, and mixed-entity structures. This study of 48 hybrid organizations identifies why social entrepreneurs chose one legal structure over another and explains what motivates half of them to change their legal structure as they build their enterprise. It highlights the critical desire for flexibility among social entrepreneurs, discusses the implications that changes to legal structure may have for companies and hybrids in partnerships, and explores how companies can leverage hybrid structures to go beyond their current scope of CSR initiatives.
