description: Although there is good evidence that emotions are associated with chronic airways obstruction, evidence for the influence of psychological factors on the level and decline of pulmonary function is sparse.  Optimism has been linked to enhanced well-being, whereas pessimism has been identified as a risk factor for poor physical health.  This investigation examines prospectively the effects of optimism versus pessimism on pulmonary function.  Data are from the Veterans Administration Normative Aging Study, an ongoing cohort of older men.  In 1986, 670 men completed the revised Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory from which we derived the bipolar Revised Optimism-Pessimism Scale.  During an average of 8 years of follow-up, an average of 3 pulmonary function exams were obtained.  Men with a more optimistic explanatory style had significantly higher levels of forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (both p is lesser than 01).  Interactions between time and optimism suggest that rate of decline in FEV1 over time was slower in men with a more optimistic explanatory style relative to men who were more pessimistic.  These data are the first to link optimism with higher levels of pulmonary function and slower rate of pulmonary function decline in older men, a protective effect that is independent of smoking.

description: We construct a new class of rotating AdS black hole solutions with non-compact event horizons of finite area in any dimension and study their thermodynamics. In four dimensions these black holes are solutions to gauged supergravity. We find that their entropy exceeds the maximum implied from the conjectured Reverse Isoperimetric Inequality, which states that for a given thermodynamic volume, the black hole entropy is maximized for Schwarzschild-AdS. We use this result to suggest more stringent conditions under which this conjecture may hold.

description: OBJECTIVE: To examine the relations of the family environment to adjustment to juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), and to examine how those relations are influenced by child sex and age.
METHOD: Ninety-four children with JRA completed a questionnaire on family environment and adjustment.
RESULTS: Family cohesion was related to good adjustment, whereas family conflict was related to poor adjustment. Some relations of family cohesion to adjustment were stronger for younger than for older children. The relations of child autonomy to adjustment depended on child sex and age.
CONCLUSION: The relations of the family environment to adjustment to JRA are dependent on child sex and age.

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This paper is a study of power series, where the coefficients are binomial expressions (iterated finite differences). Our results can be used for series summation, for series transformation, or for asymptotic expansions involving Stirling numbers of the second kind. In certain cases we obtain asymptotic expansions involving Bernoulli polynomials, poly-Bernoulli polynomials, or Euler polynomials. We also discuss connections to Euler series transformations and other series transformation formulas.

description: BACKGROUND: Friendships of adolescents with chronic illness have been rarely studied.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the friendships of boys and girls with diabetes with those between healthy adolescents.
METHODS: One hundred and thirty-eight adolescents were interviewed at summer camps. Participants indicated their number of close friends and rated friendships for support and conflict. Participants described aspects of their same-sex and other-sex friendships that they liked and disliked.
RESULTS: Adolescents with diabetes have friendships that are similar to those between healthy adolescents, with a few exceptions.
CONCLUSIONS: Emotional support may be especially valued by girls with diabetes, whereas differences among friends may be less valued among adolescents with diabetes.

description: We propose a scheme to investigate the interplay between Kondo-exchange interaction and quantum spin Hall effect with ultracold fermionic alkaline-earth atoms trapped in two-dimensional optical lattices using ultracold collision and laser-assisted tunneling. In the strong Kondo-coupling regime, though the loop trajectory of the mobile atom disappears, collective dynamics of an atom pair in two clock states can exhibit an unexpected spin-dependent cyclotron orbit in a plaquette, realizing the quantum spin Hall effect of the Kondo singlet. We demonstrate that the collective cyclotron dynamics of the spin-zero Kondo singlet is governed by an effective Harper-Hofstadter model in addition to second-order diagonal tunneling.

description: OBJECTIVE: We examined the relation of adolescent goals to psychological well-being and diabetes health.
METHOD: We used personal project analysis to elicit the goals that adolescents with (n = 110) and without type 1 diabetes (n = 117) have. Adolescents evaluated several project dimensions (progress, stress, typicality, happiness, extent desired by others). Psychological well-being and diabetes health were assessed.
RESULTS: Adolescents with and without diabetes described similar projects, with academic projects being most frequently named. Adolescents with diabetes were more likely to identify appearance projects, and healthy adolescents were more likely to identify self-improvement projects. Among the project dimensions, project progress was associated with better psychological and diabetes health, and project stress was associated with poorer psychological and diabetes health.
CONCLUSION: Results suggest that aspects of the general goals that adolescents set for themselves may have implications for their psychological well-being as well as how they care for their diabetes.

description: Two experiments were conducted to examine the development of economic understanding among 5-, 7-, and 9-year-olds (n = 31, 29, and 32, respectively). Most 5-year-olds exhibited understanding of the goal of acquiring desired goods but not of the goals of seeking profits, acquiring goods inexpensively, or competing successfully with other sellers. In contrast, most 7-year-olds and a large majority of 9-year-olds showed understanding of all of these concepts. The older children's understanding of these key concepts and the relations among them suggested that they had constructed an informal theory of economics, qualitatively different from the psychologically based understanding of the 5-year-olds. Increased information-processing skills appeared to be among the sources of this new understanding.

description: A methodology is described for using fMRI brain imaging to study how students learn with an intelligent tutoring system. Students were imaged while learning an algebra isomorph.   A cognitive model, which is capable of learning the material, identified 6 predefined brain regions as reflecting various aspects of the problem-solving and learning process. The model predicted that the learning would be mainly manifested as reduced activation in a lateral inferior prefrontal region reflecting increased fluency in retrieving relevant declarative information.   This prediction was confirmed but there was also decreased activation in a predefined fusiform region suggesting increased fluency in parsing the problem representations.   Exploratory analysis also found an anterior prefrontal region whose activity predicted individual differences in error rates.  The cognitive model was modified to include an increase in visual fluency.   A careful assessment was made of the models’ ability to predict the time course of the BOLD response over 1-minute problem-solving episodes.
Following the Bodies of Enver Hoxha: An Illumination of Albanian Post-Socialist Memory Politics
Creators: name: Rocker, Kailey
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This research traces Albania’s post-socialist transition through the lens of Katherine Verdery’s dead-body politics and Anne Stoler’s imperial ruin(ation). I follow the dead body of Enver Hoxha, Albania’s former communist dictator, from its animations during Albania’s late socialist period – his grand burial ceremony in April 1985 and the construction of the Enver Hoxha Pyramid Museum in 1988 – to those in the following post-socialist period – his exhumation from the prestigious Martyr’s Cemetery in 1992 and the later attempts of Parliament to completely remove his memorial museum. I demonstrate two points: that Verdery’s framework of dead-body politics remains a useful analytic alongside that of imperial ruination to examine contemporary politics in post-socialist Eastern Europe and that “dead bodies” can take other ruined forms, such as monumental buildings like the Pyramid museum. The ruin expands our notion of what constitutes the dead body and its different forms in post-socialist Eastern Europe.

description: We model the observed vertical distribution of the neutral hydrogen (HI) in the faint (M_B ~ -13.7 mag) edge-on dwarf irregular galaxy KK250. Our model assumes that the galaxy consists of axi-symmetric, co-planar gas and stellar discs in the external force-field of a spherical dark matter halo, and in vertical hydrostatic equilibrium. The velocity dispersion of the gas is left as a free parameter in the model. Our best fit model is able to reproduce the observed vertical distribution of the HI gas, as well as the observed velocity profiles. The best fit model has a large velocity dispersion (~ 22 km/s) at the centre of the galaxy, which falls to a value of ~ 8 km/s by a galacto-centric radius of ~ 1 kpc, which is similar to both the scale-length of the stellar disc, as well as the angular resolution of the data along the radial direction. Similarly we find that the thickness of the HI disc is also minimum at ~ 1 kpc, and increases by about a factor of ~ 2 as one goes to the centre of the galaxy or out to ~ 3 kpc. The minimum intrinsic HWHM of the HI vertical distribution in KK250 is ~ 350 pc. For comparison the HWHM of the vertical distribution of the HI in the solar neighbourhood is ~ 70-140 pc. Our results are hence consistent with other observations which indicate that dwarf galaxies have significantly puffier gas discs than spirals.

description: We introduce Hermite polynomial excitation squeezed vacuum (SV) H_{n}(O)S(r)|0> with O=u a+v a^{+}. We investigate analytically the nonclassical properties according to Mandel's Q parameter, second correlation function, squeezing effect and the negativity of Wigner function (WF). It is found that all these nonclassicalities can be enhanced by H_{n}(O)operation and adjustable parameters u and v. In particular, the optimal negative volume delta_{opt}of WF can be achieved by modulating u and v for n>=2,while delta is kept unchanged for n=1. Furthermore, the decoherence effect of phase-sensitive enviornment on this state is examined. It is shown that delta with bigger ndiminishes more quickly than that with lower n, which indicates that single-photon subtraction SV presents more roboustness. Parameter Mof reservoirs can be effectively used to improve the nonclassicality.

description: An experimental study investigated the effects of applying principles of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Focusing on epistemic beliefs (EBs) in inclusive science classes, we compared four groups who worked with learning environments based more or less on UDL principles and filled out an original version of a widely used EBs questionnaire or an adapted version using the Universal Design for Assessment (UDA). Based on measurement invariance analyses, a multiple indicator, and multiple cause (MIMIC) approach as well as multi-group panel models, the results do not support an outperformance of the extensive UDL environment. Moreover, the UDA-based questionnaire appears to be more adequately suited for detecting learning gains in an inclusive setting. The results emphasize how important it is to carefully adopt and introduce the UDL principles for learning and to care about test accessibility when conducting quantitative research in inclusive settings.

description: The Georgi-Machacek model predicts the existence of four neutral Higgs bosons, one of which can be identified as the 125-GeV Higgs boson. The latest Higgs data favor the parameter space of small mixing angle alpha between the two custodial singlets of the model. The other two neutral Higgs bosons belong respectively to the custodial triplet and quintet. We study the general decay and production properties of these particles in the small-alpha scenario. Constraints on the SU(2)_L triplet vacuum expectation value are obtained as a function of the exotic Higgs boson masses using latest ATLAS data of various search channels for additional neutral Higgs bosons.

description: Most uncertainties regarding the theoretical study of the neutrinoless double-beta decay are related to the accuracy of the nuclear matrix elements that appear in the expressions of the lifetimes. We calculate the nuclear matrix elements for the $0νββ$ decay of $^{130}Te$ in a shell model approach, using a recently proposed effective Hamiltonian. To ensure the reliability of the results, we investigate this Hamiltonian by performing calculations of spectroscopic quantities and comparing them to the latest experimental data available, and we analyze the $2νββ$ and the $0νββ$ decay nuclear matrix elements of $^{136}$Xe. Finally, we report new nuclear matrix for the $^{130}$Te considering the light neutrino exchange and heavy neutrino exchange mechanisms, alongside with an overview of some recent values reported in the literature.

description: Additive manufacturing is typically a flexible alternative to conventional manufacturing processes. However, manufacturing costs increase due to the effort required to experimentally determine optimum process parameters for customized products or small batches. Therefore, simulation models are needed in order to reduce the amount of effort necessary for experimental testing. For this purpose, a novel technological simulation method for directed energy deposition additive manufacturing is presented here. The Dexel-based simulation allows modeling of additive manufacturing of varying geometric shapes by considering multi-axis machine tool kinematics and local process conditions. The simulation approach can be combined with the simulation of subtractive processes, which enables integrated digital process chains.

description: A Deformable Mirror (DM) is an important component of an Adaptive Optics system. It is known that an on-axis spherical/parabolic optical component, placed at an angle to the incident beam introduces defocus as well as astigmatism in the image plane. Although the former can be compensated by changing the focal plane position, the latter cannot be removed by mere optical re-alignment. Since the DM is to be used to compensate a turbulence-induced curvature term in addition to other aberrations, it is necessary to determine the aberrations induced by such (curved DM surface) an optical element when placed at an angle (other than 0 degree) of incidence in the optical path. To this effect, we estimate to a first order, the aberrations introduced by a DM as a function of the incidence angle and deformation of the DM surface. We record images using a simple setup in which the incident beam is reflected by a 37 channel Micro-machined Membrane Deformable Mirror for various angles of incidence. It is observed that astigmatism is a dominant aberration which was determined by measuring the difference between the tangential and sagital focal planes. We justify our results on the basis of theoretical simulations and discuss the feasibility of using such a system for adaptive optics considering a trade-off between wavefront correction and astigmatism due to deformation.

description: Implicit attitudes about social groups persist independently of explicit beliefs and can influence not only social behavior, but also medical and legal practices. Although examples presented in the laboratory can alter such implicit attitudes, it is unclear whether the same influence is exerted by real-world exemplars. Following the 2008 US election, Plant et al. reported that the Implicit Association Test or "IAT" revealed a decrease in negative implicit attitudes toward African-Americans. However, a large-scale study also employing the IAT found little evidence for a change in implicit attitudes pre- and post-election. Here we present evidence that the 2008 US election may have facilitated at least a temporary change in implicit racial attitudes in the US. Our results rely on the Affective Lexical Priming Score or "ALPS" and pre- and post-election measurements for both US and non-US participants. US students who, pre-election, exhibited negative associations with black faces, post-election showed positive associations with black faces. Canadian students pre- and post-election did not show a similar shift. To account for these findings, we posit that the socio-cognitive processes underlying ALPS are different from those underlying the IAT. Acknowledging that we cannot form a causal link between an intervening real-world event and laboratory-measured implicit attitudes, we speculate that our findings may be driven by the fact that the 2008 election campaign included extremely positive media coverage of President Obama and prominently featured his face in association with positive words-similar to the structure of ALPS. Even so, our real-world finding adds to the literature demonstrating the malleability of implicit attitudes and has implications for how we understand the socio-cognitive mechanisms underlying stereotypes.

description: Using thermoplastics as the matrix in carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) offers the possibility to make use of welded joints, which results in weight savings compared to conventional joining methods using mechanical fasteners. In this paper, the resulting temperature distribution in the material due to resistance welding is investigated by transient finite element (FE) simulations. To examine the effects on the component structure, a numerical modeling approach is created, which allows determining the residual stresses caused by the welding process. It is shown that the area of the structure, especially near the joining zone, is highly affected by the process, especially in terms of residual stresses. In particular, the stresses perpendicular to the fiber direction show failure relevant values up to a maximum of 221 MPa, which might lead to the formation of microcracks in the matrix. In turn, that is assumed to be critical in terms of the fatigue of welded composite structures. Thus, the suggested modeling approach provides residual stresses that can be used to determine their effects on the strength, structural stability, and fatigue of such composite structures. In a subsequent step, these findings could play an important role in the design process of thermoplastic composite structures.

description: Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) capture a large number of 3D points rapidly, with high precision and spatial resolution. These scanners are used for applications as diverse as modeling architectural or engineering structures, but also high-resolution mapping of terrain. The noise of the observations cannot be assumed to be strictly corresponding to white noise: besides being heteroscedastic, correlations between observations are likely to appear due to the high scanning rate. Unfortunately, if the variance can sometimes be modeled based on physical or empirical considerations, the latter are more often neglected. Trustworthy knowledge is, however, mandatory to avoid the overestimation of the precision of the point cloud and, potentially, the non-detection of deformation between scans recorded at different epochs using statistical testing strategies. The TLS point clouds can be approximated with parametric surfaces, such as planes, using the Gauss–Helmert model, or the newly introduced T-splines surfaces. In both cases, the goal is to minimize the squared distance between the observations and the approximated surfaces in order to estimate parameters, such as normal vector or control points. In this contribution, we will show how the residuals of the surface approximation can be used to derive the correlation structure of the noise of the observations. We will estimate the correlation parameters using the Whittle maximum likelihood and use comparable simulations and real data to validate our methodology. Using the least-squares adjustment as a “filter of the geometry” paves the way for the determination of a correlation model for many sensors recording 3D point clouds.

description: We construct a category of quantum polynomial functors which deforms Friedlander and Suslin's category of strict polynomial functors. The main aim of this paper is to develop from first principles the basic structural properties of this category (duality, projective generators, braiding etc.) in analogy with classical strict polynomial functors. We then apply the work of Hashimoto and Hayashi in this context to construct quantum Schur/Weyl functors, and use this to provide new and easy derivations of quantum $(GL_m,GL_n)$ duality, along with other results in quantum invariant theory.

description: Optimality Theory (OT) has had a lot of attention from the linguistics research community but also still largely lacks cognitive grounding. We used the ACT-R cognitive architecture to gain greater insight into the cognitive grounding issues that OT needs to address, most notably the GEN process and the learning of the constraint ranking. A generic ACT-R 5.0 model was developed guided by OT principles. The generic model was instantiated in two specific models, one for syllabification and one for past tense formation. Realistic perception data was used to train the models, both were successful in learning the correct constraint ranking for their domain. This result partly bridges the gap between Optimality Theory and ACT-R, providing OT with a better cognitive grounding and ACT-R with better linguistic capabilities.

Disease spread over randomly switched large-scale networks

description: In this paper we study disease spread over a randomly switched network, which is modeled by a stochastic switched differential equation based on the so called $N$-intertwined model for disease spread over static networks. Assuming that all the edges of the network are independently switched, we present sufficient conditions for the convergence of infection probability to zero. Though the stability theory for switched linear systems can naively derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence, the condition cannot be used for large-scale networks because, for a network with $n$ agents, it requires computing the maximum real eigenvalue of a matrix of size exponential in $n$. On the other hand, our conditions that are based also on the spectral theory of random matrices can be checked by computing the maximum real eigenvalue of a matrix of size exactly $n$.
EVALUATING ATTITUDES ABOUT AGING AND BODY COMPARISON AS MODERATORS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MENOPAUSAL STATUS AND DISORDERED EATING AND BODY IMAGE CONCERNS AMONG MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN

description: The peri-menopausal transition period may be a critical window of vulnerability for disordered eating behaviors and body image concerns. No study has examined which women may be particularly at-risk during this period. This study explored group differences in disordered eating and body image by menopausal status, and whether appearance-related aging concerns and body comparison moderated these relationships. Three hundred and ten women (ages 40-68) completed an online survey. The three menopausal status groups did not significantly differ on either disordered eating or body image concerns. Results showed a significant interaction between menopausal status and aging concerns such that at low levels of aging concerns, peri-menopausal women reported greater dietary restraint than pre-menopausal women. Finally, a significant interaction between menopausal status and body comparison indicated that among women who are high in body comparison, post-menopausal women reported significantly more dietary restraint compared to both pre- and peri-menopausal women.

description: The merits of temporary carbon storage are often debated for bio-based and biodegradable plastics. We employed life cycle assessment (LCA) to assess environmental performance of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-based plastics, considering multiple climate tipping as a new life cycle impact category. It accounts for the contribution of GHG emissions to trigger climate tipping points in the Earth system, considering in total 13 tipping elements that could pass a tipping point with increasing warming. The PHA was either laminated with poly(lactic acid), or metallized with aluminum or aluminum oxides to lower permeability of the resulting plastics toward oxygen, water vapor and aromas. The assessments were made accounting for potential differences in kinetics of evolution of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4) from bioplastic degradation in the end-of-life. Results show that: (1) PHA films with high biodegradability perform best in relation to the climate tipping, but are not necessarily the best in relation to radiative forcing increase or global temperature change; (2) sugar beet molasses used as feedstock is an environmental hot spot, contributing significantly to a wide range of environmental problems; (3) increasing PHA production scale from pilot to full commercial scale increases environmental impacts, mainly due to decreasing PHA yield; and (4) further process optimization is necessary for the PHA-based plastics to become attractive alternatives to fossil-based plastics. Our study suggests that multiple climate tipping is a relevant impact category for LCA of biodegradable bioplastics.

Probabilistic Modeling and Simulation of Transmission Line Temperatures under Fluctuating Power Flows

description: Increasing shares of fluctuating renewable energy sources induce higher and higher power flow variability at the transmission level. The question arises as to what extent existing networks can absorb additional fluctuating power injection without exceeding thermal limits. At the same time, the resulting power flow characteristics call for revisiting classical approaches to line temperature prediction. This paper presents a probabilistic modeling and simulation methodology for estimating the occurrence of critical line temperatures in the presence of fluctuating power flows. Cumbersome integration of the dynamic thermal equations at each Monte Carlo simulation trial is sped up by a specific algorithm that makes use of a variance reduction technique adapted from the telecommunications field. The substantial reduction in computational time allows estimations closer to real time, relevant to short-term operational assessments. A case study performed on a single line model provides fundamental insights into the probability of hitting critical line temperatures under given power flow fluctuations. A transmission system application shows how the proposed method can be used for a fast yet accurate operational assessment.
