description: We discuss the questions related to dark energy in the Universe. We note that in spite of the effect of dark energy, large-scale structure is still being generated in the Universe and this will continue for about ten billion years. We also comment on some statements in the paper ``Dark energy and universal antigravitation'' by A.D. Chernin [4].

description: It has been demonstrated that dynamic refractive index modulation, which breaks time-reversal symmetry, can be used to create on-chip non-reciprocal photonic devices. In order to achieve amplitude non-reciprocity, all such devices moreover require modulations that break spatial symmetries, which adds complexity in implementations. Here we introduce a modal circulator, which achieves amplitude non-reciprocity through a circulation motion among three modes. We show that such a circulator can be achieved in a dynamically-modulated structure that preserves mirror symmetry, and as a result can be implemented using only a single standing-wave modulator, which significantly simplifies the implementation of dynamically-modulated non-reciprocal device. We also prove that in terms of the number of modes involved in the transport process, the modal circulator represents the minimum configuration in which complete amplitude non-reciprocity can be achieved while preserving spatial symmetry.
Self-portrait and the discovery of the female voice in the writing of Marguerite Duras
Creators: name: Brett, Susan Mae
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Marguerite Duras' earlier works fit readily into the genre of the traditional novel and, like many early works of fiction, are often autobiographical in content. Un Barrage contre le Pacifique (l950), for example, tells the story of her difficult childhood in Indochina where she was raised by a widowed mother. However, with Moderato Cantabile (1958) her writing style changes markedly. The author associates this alteration in style with a crisis in her personal life whereby her writing becomes poetic and the narrative content increasingly abstruse. It is with the writer's experimentation in film during the sixties and seventies that a group of works, referred to in this paper as the "India Song" texts, appear. In this group of works, beginning with Le Ravissement de Loi V. Stein (1964), and ending with Aurélia Steiner, Aurélia Steiner, Aurélia Steiner (1979), the same story is told and retold, yet the form of the language, the narration, and the dominant mode of perception alters remarkably from text to text. These texts together are proposed, in this study, to form a unique self-portrait of the author. The thesis is divided into two parts. In Part I, the transition in writing style is considered as a movement away from an autobiographical mode into a self-portraiture mode. A comparison is made between the characteristics of her writing style in the texts following Moderato Cantabile and the characteristics of the self-portrait as outlined by Michel Beaujour in Miroirs d'encre. To elucidate the situation of the Durassian heroine prior to the self-portrait revealed in the "India Song" texts, the myth of Narcissus and Echo is utilized. This use of myth provides a background Gestalt against which the patterns within the fiction begin to appear. Part II is a textual analysis of the "India Song" self-portrait works which include Le Ravissement de Loi V. Stein, Le Vice-Consul, L'Amour, La Femme du Gange, India Song, and Aurelia Steiner, Aurelia Steiner, Aurélia Steiner. The ancient Summarian myth of female initiation, the myth of Inanna, when applied to these texts, discloses the transformation in perspective underlying the arcane surface patterns in which the same "story" reappears from text to text. From a one-dimensional world dominated by the masculine "regard", the reader is pulled, via the auditory, into a multidimensional kinaesthetic feminine world of the "lower" senses that is referred to in the analysis as "l'écoute". It is this perspective that the female writing voice of Aurelia Steiner, culmination of this unusual self-portrait, offers to the reader.
Spin-up and hot spots can drive mass out of a binary

description: The observed distribution of periods and mass ratios of Algols with a B type primary at birth was updated. Conservative evolution fails to produce the large fraction with a high mass ratio: i.e. q in [0.4-0.6]. Interacting binaries thus have to lose mass before or during Algolism. During RLOF mass is transferred continuously from donor to gainer. The gainer spins up; sometimes up to critical velocity. Equatorial material on the gainer is therefore less bound to the system. The material coming from the donor through the first Langrangian point impinges violently on the surface of the gainer or the edge of the accretion disc, creating a hot spot in the area of impact. The sum of rotational energy (fast rotation) and radiative energy (hot spot) depends on the mass-loss rate. The sum of both energies on a test mass located in the impact area equals exactly its binding energy at some critical value. As long as the mass transfer rate is smaller than this value the gainer accepts all the mass coming from the donor: RLOF happens conservatively. But as soon as the critical rate is exceeded the gainer will acquire no more than the critical value and RLOF runs into its liberal era. Low mass binaries never achieve mass-loss rates larger than the critical value. Intermediate mass binaries evolve mainly conservatively but mass will be blown away from the system during the short era of rapid mass transfer soon after RLOF-ignition. Binaries with 9+5.4 solar masses (P in [2-4] d) evolve almost always conservatively. Only during some 20,000 years the gainer is not capable of grasping all the material that comes from the donor. During this short lapse of time a significant fraction of the mass of the system is blown into interstellar space. The mass ratio bin [0.4-0.6] is now much better represented.

description: (Abridged) We characterize a series of neutral vanadium atomic absorption lines in the 800--910nm wavelength region of high signal-to-noise, high-resolution, telluric-corrected M-dwarf spectra from the CARMENES survey. Many of these lines are prominent and exhibit a distinctive broad and flat-bottom shape, which is a result of hyperfine structure (HFS). We investigate the potential and implications of these HFS split lines for abundance analysis of cool stars. With standard spectral synthesis routines, as provided by the spectroscopy software iSpec and the latest atomic data (including HFS) available from the VALD3 database, we modeled these striking line profiles. We used them to measure V abundances of cool dwarfs. We determined V abundances for 135 early M dwarfs (M0.0V to M3.5V) in the CARMENES guaranteed time observations sample. They exhibit a [V/Fe]-[Fe/H] trend consistent with that derived from nearby FG dwarfs. The tight ($\pm$ 0.1 dex) correlation between [V/H] and [Fe/H] suggests the potential application of V as an alternative metallicity indicator in M dwarfs. We also show hints that neglecting to model HFS could partially explain the temperature correlation in V abundance measurements observed in previous studies of samples involving dwarf stars with $T_{\rm eff} \lesssim 5300$K. Our work suggests that HFS can impact certain absorption lines in cool photospheres more severely than in Sun-like ones. Therefore, we advocate that HFS should be carefully treated in abundance studies in stars cooler than $\sim 5000$K. On the other hand, strong HFS split lines in high-resolution spectra present an opportunity for precision chemical analyses of large samples of cool stars. The V-to-Fe trends exhibited by the local M dwarfs continue to challenge theoretical models of V production in the Galaxy.

description: The two-dimensional electron gas in a bilayer quantum Hall system can sustain an interlayer coherence at filling factor nu=1 even in the absence of tunneling between the layers. This system has low-energy charged excitations which may carry textures in real spin or pseudospin. Away from filling factor nu =1 a finite density of these is present in the ground state of the 2DEG and forms a crystal. Depending on the relative size of the various energy scales, such as tunneling (Delta_SAS), Zeeman coupling (Delta_Z) or electrical bias (Delta_b), these textured crystal states can involve spin, pseudospin, or both intertwined. In this article, we present a comprehensive numerical study of the collective excitations of these textured crystals using the GRPA. For the pure spin case, at finite Zeeman coupling the state is a Skyrmion crystal with a gapless phonon mode, and a separate Goldstone mode that arises from a broken U(1) symmetry. At zero Zeeman coupling, we demonstrate that the constituent Skyrmions break up, and the resulting state is a meron crystal with 4 gapless modes. In contrast, a pure pseudospin Skyrme crystal at finite tunneling has only the phonon mode. For Delta_SAS=0, the state evolves into a meron crystal and supports an extra gapless U(1) mode in addition to the phonon. For a CP(3) Skyrmion crystal, we find a U(1) gapless mode in the presence of the symmetry-breaking fields. In addition, a second mode with a very small gap is present in the spectrum.

description: Optical properties of polymer capped gold nanoparticles of various sizes (diameter 3-6 nm) have been studied. We present a new scheme to extract size dependent variation of total dielectric function of gold nanoparticles from measured UV-Vis absorption data. The new scheme can also be used, in principle, for other related systems as well. We show how quantum effect, surface atomic co - ordination and polymer - nanoparticle interface morphology leads to a systematic variation in inter band part of the dielectric function of gold nanoparticles, obtained from the analysis using our new scheme. Careful analysis enables identification of the possible changes to the electronic band structure in such nanoparticles.

description: BACKGROUND: Many of the mutations accumulated by naturally evolving proteins are neutral in the sense that they do not significantly alter a protein's ability to perform its primary biological function. However, new protein functions evolve when selection begins to favor other, "promiscuous" functions that are incidental to a protein's biological role. If mutations that are neutral with respect to a protein's primary biological function cause substantial changes in promiscuous functions, these mutations could enable future functional evolution. RESULTS: Here we investigate this possibility experimentally by examining how cytochrome P450 enzymes that have evolved neutrally with respect to activity on a single substrate have changed in their abilities to catalyze reactions on five other substrates. We find that the enzymes have sometimes changed as much as four-fold in the promiscuous activities. The changes in promiscuous activities tend to increase with the number of mutations, and can be largely rationalized in terms of the chemical structures of the substrates. The activities on chemically similar substrates tend to change in a coordinated fashion, potentially providing a route for systematically predicting the change in one function based on the measurement of several others. CONCLUSIONS: Our work suggests that initially neutral genetic drift can lead to substantial changes in protein functions that are not currently under selection, in effect poising the proteins to more readily undergo functional evolution should selection "ask new questions" in the future.

description: We present and describe a catalog of galaxy photometric redshifts (photo-z's) for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 6 (DR6). We use the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique to calculate photo-z's and the Nearest Neighbor Error (NNE) method to estimate photo-z errors for ~ 77 million objects classified as galaxies in DR6 with r < 22. The photo-z and photo-z error estimators are trained and validated on a sample of ~ 640,000 galaxies that have SDSS photometry and spectroscopic redshifts measured by SDSS, 2SLAQ, CFRS, CNOC2, TKRS, DEEP, and DEEP2. For the two best ANN methods we have tried, we find that 68% of the galaxies in the validation set have a photo-z error smaller than sigma_{68} =0.021 or $0.024. After presenting our results and quality tests, we provide a short guide for users accessing the public data.

description: A dedicated test of the effects of Nitrogen contamination in liquid Argon has been performed at the INFN-Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS, Italy) within the WArP R&D program. A detector has been designed and assembled for this specific task and connected to a system for the injection of controlled amounts of gaseous Nitrogen into the liquid Argon. Purpose of the test is to detect the reduction of the Ar scintillation light emission as a function of the amount of the Nitrogen contaminant injected in the Argon volume. A wide concentration range, spanning from about 10^-1 ppm up to about 10^3 ppm, has been explored. Measurements have been done with electrons in the energy range of minimum ionizing particles (gamma-conversion from radioactive sources). Source spectra at different Nitrogen contaminations are analyzed, showing sensitive reduction of the scintillation yield at increasing concentrations. The rate constant of the light quenching process induced by Nitrogen in liquid Ar has been found to be k(N2)=0.11 micros^-1 ppm^-1. Direct PMT signals acquisition at high time resolution by fast Waveform recording allowed to extract with high precision the main characteristics of the scintillation light emission in pure and contaminated LAr. In particular, the decreasing behavior in lifetime and relative amplitude of the slow component is found to be appreciable from O(1 ppm) of Nitrogen concentrations.

description: E-Commerce (EC) websites provide a large amount of useful information that exceed human cognitive processing ability. In order to help customers in comparing alternatives when buying a product, previous studies designed opinion summarization systems based on customer reviews. They ignored templates' information provided by manufacturers, although these descriptive information have much product aspects or characteristics. Therefore, this paper proposes a methodology coined as SEOpinion (Summa-rization and Exploration of Opinions) which provides a summary for the product aspects and spots opinion(s) regarding them, using a combination of templates' information with the customer reviews in two main phases. First, the Hierarchical Aspect Extraction (HAE) phase creates a hierarchy of product aspects from the template. Subsequently, the Hierarchical Aspect-based Opinion Summarization (HAOS) phase enriches this hierarchy with customers' opinions; to be shown to other potential buyers. To test the feasibility of using Deep Learning-based BERT techniques with our approach, we have created a corpus by gathering information from the top five EC websites for laptops. The experimental results show that Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) achieves better results (77.4% and 82.6% in terms of F1-measure for the first and second phase) than the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique.

description: Quantum theory suggests that the three observed gauge groups U(1), SU(2) and SU(3) are related to the three Reidemeister moves: twists, pokes and slides. The background for the relation is provided. It is then shown that twists generate the group U(1), whereas pokes generate SU(2). Emphasis is placed on proving the relation between slides, the Gell-Mann matrices, and the Lie group SU(3). Consequences for unification are deduced.

description: It is well known that magnification bias, the modulation of galaxy or quasar source counts by gravitational lensing, can change the observed angular correlation function. We investigate magnification-induced changes to the shape of the observed correlation function w(θ) and the angular power spectrum C_{\ell}, paying special attention to the matter-radiation equality peak and the baryon wiggles. Lensing mixes the correlation function of the source galaxies with the matter correlation at the lower redshifts of the lenses. Since the lenses probe structure nearer to the observer, the angular scale dependence of the lensing terms is different from that of the sources, thus the observed correlation function is distorted. We quantify how the lensing corrections depend on the width of the selection function, the galaxy bias b, and the number count slope s. The correction increases with redshift and larger corrections are present for sources with steep number count slopes and/or broad redshift distributions. The most drastic changes to C_{\ell} occur for measurements at z >~1.5 and \ell ~ 0.5% and broadening of >~ 20% occur only for very broad selection functions and/or galaxies with (5s-2)/b>~2. However, near the baryon bump the magnification correction is not constant but a gently varying function which depends on the source population. Depending on how the w(θ) data is fitted, this correction may need to be accounted for when using the baryon acoustic scale for precision cosmology.

description: We study scaling symmetry in a class of non-minimally coupled scalar field in a background of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetime. We use a non-minimally coupling $R L^{(φ)}$. We find the corresponding conserved charge of that symmetry and see its role in cosmology, and search for its possible breaking down and its outcomes. A suitable potential $V(φ)=φ^2/2$ of scalar field is adopted which is necessary to get a scaling symmetric Lagrangian of the system including scalar field, non-minimally coupling to Ricci scalar $R L^{(φ)}$ and dark matter dust. We study evolution of the scalar field in the phase space of the model and explore the stability of the obtained critical point. In this manner we derive a relation that relates the cosmological constant and gravitational constant via a unique identity which reflects the scaling symmetry breaking in the space $(a, φ)$. And relate the cosmological constant to the vacuum expectation value of the potential energy of $φ$. Finally we study the stability of that vacuum expectation value.

description: M-stars are the most common hosts of planetary systems in the Galaxy. Protoplanetary disks around M-stars thus offer a prime opportunity to study the chemistry of planet-forming environments. We present an ALMA survey of molecular line emission toward a sample of five protoplanetary disks around M4-M5 stars (FP Tau, J0432+1827, J1100-7619, J1545-3417, and Sz 69). These observations can resolve chemical structures down to tens of AU. Molecular lines of $^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO, C$^{18}$O, C$_2$H, and HCN are detected toward all five disks. Lines of H$_2$CO and DCN are detected toward 2/5 and 1/5 disks, respectively. For disks with resolved C$^{18}$O, C$_2$H, HCN, and H$_2$CO emission, we observe substructures similar to those previously found in disks around solar-type stars (e.g., rings, holes, and plateaus). C$_2$H and HCN excitation conditions estimated interior to the pebble disk edge for the bright disk J1100-7619 are consistent with previous measurements around solar-type stars. The correlation previously found between C$_2$H and HCN fluxes for solar-type disks extends to our M4-M5 disk sample, but the typical C$_2$H/HCN ratio is higher for the M4-M5 disk sample. This latter finding is reminiscent of the hydrocarbon enhancements found by previous observational infrared surveys in the innermost ($

description: Modern astrophysical and cosmological models are faced with two severe theoretical difficulties, that can be summarized as the dark energy and the dark matter problems. Relative to the former, it has been stated that cosmology has entered a 'golden age', in which high-precision observational data have confirmed with startling evidence that the Universe is undergoing a phase of accelerated expansion. Several candidates, responsible for this expansion, have been proposed in the literature, in particular, dark energy models and modified gravity, amongst others. One is liable to ask: What is the so-called 'dark energy' that is driving the acceleration of the universe? Is it a vacuum energy or a dynamical field (''quintessence'')? Or is the acceleration due to infra-red modifications of Einstein's theory of General Relativity? In the context of dark matter, two observations, namely, the behavior of the galactic rotation curves and the mass discrepancy in galactic clusters, suggest the existence of a (non or weakly interacting) form of dark matter at galactic and extra-galactic scales. It has also been proposed that modified gravity can explain the galactic dynamics without the need of introducing dark matter. We briefly review some of the modified theories of gravity that address these two intriguing and exciting problems facing modern physics.

Clues from 4U 0142+61 on supernova fallback disc formation and precession

description: The NuSTAR experiment detected a hard X-ray emission (10-70 keV) with a period of 8.68917 s and a pulse-phase modulation at 55 ks, or half this value, from the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 4U 0142+61. It is shown here that this evidence is naturally explained by the precession of a Keplerian supernova fallback disc surrounding this AXP. It is also found that the precession of discs formed around young neutron stars at distances larger than those considered in the past, may constitute almost neglected sources of gravitational waves with frequencies belonging to the sensitivity bands of the future space interferometers LISA, ALIA, DECIGO and BBO. In this work the gravitational wave emission from precessing fallback discs possibly formed around young pulsars such as Crab in a region extending beyond 8$\times$10$^{7}$ m from the pulsar surface is estimated. It is also evaluated the role that infrared radiation emission from circumpulsar discs may play in contributing to Inverse Compton Scattering of TeV energy positrons and electrons. Extensive observational campaigns of disc formation around young and middle aged pulsars may also contribute to solve the long-standing problem of a pulsar origin for the excess of positrons in cosmic rays observed near Earth above 7 GeV. In the near future the James Webb telescope, with unprecedented near and mid-infrared observation capabilities, may provide direct evidence of a large sample of supernova fallback discs.

description: Using the superspace formulation for the 5D N = 1 Weyl supermultiplet developed in arXiv:0802.3953, we elaborate the concept of conformally flat superspace in five dimensions. For a large family of supersymmetric theories (including sigma-models and Yang-Mills theories) in the conformally flat superspace, we describe an explicit procedure to formulate their dynamics in terms of rigid 4D N = 1 superfields. The case of 5D N = 1 anti-de Sitter superspace is discussed as an example.

Argyresthia angusta Moriuti, 1969: 12; Moriuti, 1977: 265; Moriuti, 1982: 223; Yamauchi & Hirowatari, 2013: 165; Liu et al., 2017: 62. Type locality: Kyushu, Japan. Type depository: Osaka Metropolitan University (formerly Osaka Prefecture University).
Material examined. KOREA, Jeju-do, 1 ♁, Seogwipo-si, Haean-dong, Hallasan National Park, Eorimok, 975 m, 18.VI.2022, leg. Ga-Eun Lee, genitalia slide no. LGE22115 (JNU), DNA voucher no. LGE-G727 (JNU).
Diagnosis. Forewing span 9.5 mm (n=1) (Fig. 12). The forewing color and pattern of A. (A.) angusta are most similar to those of A. (A.) lanosa Liu, Wang et Li, 2017 and A. (A.) surrecta Liu, Wang et Li, 2017 distributed in China, and they can be separated by the characteristics of the male genitalia. Argyresthia (A.) angusta has valvae without dense setae on the ventral margin and a strongly curved phallus, whereas A. (A.) lanosa has dense short setae along its ventral margin and A. (A.) surrecta has a nearly straight phallus.
Variation. The socius of the type specimen has 7 scale-like setae (Moriuti 1969, described as specialized scales), but the Korean specimen bears only five. Although Moriuti (1969) used the number of scale-like setae as one of the characteristics separating A. (A.) angusta from a related species A. icterias, it can vary within a species of Argyresthia: 5–10 setae in A. (A.) lanosa and 8–11 in A. (A.) surrecta (Liu et al. 2017).
Distribution. Korea (new record), China, Japan.
GenBank accession number. OQ857837.
DNA analysis. The sequences of two closely related species, A. (A.) lanosa (accession nos KY570298– KY570300) and A. (A.) surrecta (accession nos KY570301, KY570302), were extracted from GenBank. The interspecific variation between A. (A.) angusta and A. (A.) lanosa was very low, ranging from 1.7% to 2.0%, and that between A. (A.) angusta and A. (A.) surrecta was 2.4% (Table 1).
Remarks. For the descriptions of adults and female genitalia, see Moriuti 1969: 12, 13. The female genitalia are illustrated in Moriuti 1969 (Figs 50, 75) and Liu et al. 2017 (Fig. 287), and the wing venation of a male (holotype) is given in Moriuti 1969 (Fig. 22).

Liger: Interleaving Intra- and Inter-Operator Parallelism for Distributed Large Model Inference

description: Distributed large model inference is still in a dilemma where balancing cost and effect. The online scenarios demand intra-operator parallelism to achieve low latency and intensive communications makes it costly. Conversely, the inter-operator parallelism can achieve high throughput with much fewer communications, but it fails to enhance the effectiveness. In this paper, we present Liger, a distributed large model inference runtime system that is of capability to achieve low latency at high throughput on the multi-GPU architecture. The key idea lies in the novel interleaved parallelism, which interleaves the computation and communication across requests. Liger enables this parallelism by carefully scheduling computation and communication kernels across requests onto multiple streams of multiple GPUs. It achieves precise control of kernel execution order efficiently by mixing use the CPU-GPU synchronization and the inter-stream synchronization. To prevent scheduling failures caused by resource contention, Liger introduces a contention factor strategy to anticipate the penalty of contention. It enables a higher degree of overlap by decomposing lengthy kernels into smaller, more manageable units at runtime.

Using Images to create a Hierarchical Grid Spatial Index

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)

description: This paper presents a hybrid approach to spatial indexing of two dimensional data. It sheds new light on the age old problem by thinking of the traditional algorithms as working with images. Inspiration is drawn from an analogous situation that is found in machine and human vision. Image processing techniques are used to assist in the spatial indexing of the data. A fixed grid approach is used and bins with too many records are sub-divided hierarchically. Search queries are pre-computed for bins that do not contain any data records. This has the effect of dividing the search space up into non rectangular regions which are based on the spatial properties of the data. The bucketing quad tree can be considered as an image with a resolution of two by two for each layer. The results show that this method performs better than the quad tree if there are more divisions per layer. This confirms our suspicions that the algorithm works better if it gets to look at the data with higher resolution images. An elegant class structure is developed where the implementation of concrete spatial indexes for a particular data type merely relies on rendering the data onto an image.

description: The implementation of the simultaneous combination of several telescopes (from four to eight) available at Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) will allow the new generation interferometric instrumentation to achieve interferometric image synthesis with unprecedented resolution and efficiency. The VLTI Spectro Imager (VSI) is the proposed second-generation near-infrared multi-beam instrument for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer, featuring three band operations (J, H and K), high angular resolutions (down to 1.1 milliarcsecond) and high spectral resolutions. VSI will be equipped with its own internal Fringe Tracker (FT), which will measure and compensate the atmospheric perturbations to the relative beam phase, and in turn will provide stable and prolonged observing conditions down to the magnitude K=13 for the scientific combiner. In its baseline configuration, VSI FT is designed to implement, from the very start, the minimum redundancy combination in a nearest neighbor scheme of six telescopes over six baselines, thus offering better options for rejection of large intensity or phase fluctuations over each beam, due to the symmetric set-up. The planar geometry solution of the FT beam combiner is devised to be easily scalable either to four or eight telescopes, in accordance to the three phase development considered for VSI. The proposed design, based on minimum redundancy combination and bulk optics solution, is described in terms of opto-mechanical concept, performance and key operational aspects.

description: Of all the factors that influence star formation, magnetic fields are perhaps the least well understood. The goal of this paper is to characterize the 3D magnetic field properties of nearby molecular clouds through various methods of statistically analysing maps of polarized dust emission. Our study focuses on nine clouds, with data taken from the Planck Sky Survey as well as data from the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry observations of Vela C. We compare the distributions of polarization fraction ($p$), dispersion in polarization angles ($\mathcal{S}$), and hydrogen column density ($N_{\rm H}$) for each of our targeted clouds. To broaden the scope of our analysis, we compare the distributions of our clouds' polarization observables with measurements from synthetic polarization maps generated from numerical simulations. We also use the distribution of polarization fraction measurements to estimate the inclination angle of each cloud's cloud-scale magnetic field. We obtain a range of inclination angles associated with our clouds, varying from 16° to 69°. We establish inverse correlations between $p$ and both $\mathcal{S}$ and $N_{\rm H}$ in almost every cloud, but we are unable to establish a statistically robust $\mathcal{S}$ versus $N_{\rm H}$ trend. By comparing the results of these different statistical analysis techniques, we are able to propose a more comprehensive view of each cloud's 3D magnetic field properties. These detailed cloud analyses will be useful in the continued studies of cloud-scale magnetic fields and the ways in which they affect star formation within these molecular clouds.
