description: QCD at finite density presents specific challenges to lattice gauge theory. Nonetheless, a region of the QCD phase diagram up to moderately large baryon chemical potentials has been successfully explored on the lattice and new results and idea are continuously emerging. I will outline the lattice formulation of QCD, introduce the calculational schemes currently used to treat a nonzero baryon density, and mention lattice methods alternative to MonteCarlo, including the strong coupling expansion which might give access to the the superconducting phase of QCD. The results for the critical line, and the different phases will be discussed highlighting the strength of the different methods, as well as the possible comparisons with phenomenological models.

description: The electrocardiogram (ECG) records electrical signals in a non-invasive way to observe the condition of the heart, typically looking at the heart from 12 different directions. Several types of the cardiac disease are diagnosed by using 12-lead ECGs Recently, various wearable devices have enabled immediate access to the ECG without the use of wieldy equipment. However, they only provide ECGs with a couple of leads. This results in an inaccurate diagnosis of cardiac disease due to lacking of required leads. We propose a deep generative model for ECG synthesis from two asynchronous leads to ten leads. It first represents a heart condition referring to two leads, and then generates ten leads based on the represented heart condition. Both the rhythm and amplitude of leads generated resemble those of the original ones, while the technique removes noise and the baseline wander appearing in the original leads. As a data augmentation method, our model improves the classification performance of models compared with models using ECGs with only one or two leads.

description: Biological applications of platinum group metal based complexes have been widely explored in synthetic and inorganic chemistry. The compounds have been further subjected to DNA binding, DNA cleavage, In-vivo and In-vitro photocytotoxicity (HCT-116 cell line) and bacteriostatic activities. Binding constant of complexes are 1.42-5.62 × 104 M-1, whereas that of ligands are 1.12 to 4.72 × 104 M-1. Ksv of complexes are about 1.32 to 5.21 × 103 M-1, whereas Kf is about 1.24 to 6.83 × 103 M-1 . IC50 of compounds screened using HCT-116 cell line in dark are found to be 121-342 μg/mL. Whereas photocytotoxicity is found in the range of 48-316 μg/mL. Docking energy of molecules have been evaluated to evaluate efficacy of binding. Molecular docking energy of complexes are in the range of -286.00 to -303.11 kJ/mol. Whereas, that of ligands are -254.03 to -282.96 kJ/mol. MIC of complexes are 47 ± 2.5 to 77.50 ± 7.5 μM. LC50 values of ligands fall in the range of 4.05-19.72 μg/mL and that of Os(IV) complexes fall in the range of 3.99-15.99 μg/mL. The Os(IV) complexes dominate in proving its potentiality compared to N, N- donor ligands in biological activities.
Predicting Planets in Known Extra-Solar Planetary Systems III: Forming Terrestrial Planets

description: Recent results have shown that many of the known extrasolar planetary systems contain regions which are stable for both Earth-mass and Saturn-mass planets. Here we simulate the formation of terrestrial planets in four planetary systems -- 55 Cancri, HD 38529, HD 37124, and HD 74156 -- under the assumption that these systems of giant planets are complete and that their orbits are well-determined. Assuming the giant planets formed and migrated quickly, then terrestrial planets may form from a second generation of planetesimals. In each case, Moon- to Mars-sized planetary embryos are placed in between the giant planets and evolved for 100 Myr. We find that planets form relatively easily in 55 Cnc, with masses up to 0.6 Earth masses and in some cases substantial water contents and orbits in the habitable zone. HD 38529 is likely to support an asteroid belt but no terrestrial planets of significant mass. No terrestrial planets form in HD 37124 and HD 74156, although in some cases 1-2 lone embryos survive for 100 Myr. If migration occurred later, depleting the planetesimal disk, then massive terrestrial planets are unlikely to form in any of these systems.

description: A flexible operation of multiple robotic manipulators in a shared workspace requires an online trajectory planning with static and dynamic collision avoidance. In this work, we propose a real-time capable motion control algorithm, based on non-linear model predictive control, which accounts for static and dynamic collision avoidance. The proposed algorithm is formulated as a non-cooperative game, where each robot is considered as an agent. Each agent optimizes its own motion and accounts for the predicted movement of surrounding agents. We propose a novel approach to formulate the dynamic collision constraints. Additionally, we account for deadlocks that might occur in a setup of multiple robotic manipulators. We validate our algorithm on a pick and place scenario for four collaborative robots operating in a common workspace in the simulation environment Gazebo. The robots are controlled by the Robot Operating System (ROS). We demonstrate, that our approach is real-time capable and, due to the distributed nature of the approach, easily scales to an arbitrary number of robot manipulators in a shared workspace.

description: In the study of spherical degenerate stars such as neutron stars, general relativistic effects are incorporated by using Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations to describe their interior spacetime. However, the equation of states employed in such studies are invariably computed in flat spacetime. We show that the equation of states computed in the curved spacetime of these stars depend explicitly on the metric function. Further, we show that ignoring such metric-dependent gravitational time dilation effect leads one to grossly underestimate the mass limits of these compact stars.

description: Today, at the level of the position enshrined at the level of the basic law of the country, a person, as well as his rights, freedoms are defined as the highest value. Based on Art. 2 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the duties of the state include recognizing, observing and protecting the rights and freedoms of man and citizen. It should be noted also Art. 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, where it is stated, gives an indication that all people are free and equal from birth. Murder is one of the most serious crimes against the person. Despite the fact that according to the statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the number of murders has decreased in recent years, they occupy a significant place in the structure of crimes. Murders with aggravating and qualifying characteristics are especially dangerous.
BEYOND THE ORIENTALIST CANON: ART AND COMMERCE IN JEAN-LEON GEROME'S THE SNAKE CHARMER
Creators: name: Gebreyesus, Fanna
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis re-examines Jean-Leon Gerome's iconic painting The Snake Charmer (1879) in an attempt to move beyond the post-colonial interpretations that have held sway in the literature on the artist since the publication of Linda Nochlin's influential essay "The Imaginary Orient" in 1989. The painting traditionally is understood as both a product and reflection of nineteenth-century European colonial politics, a view that positions the depicted figures as racially, ethnically and nationally "other" to the "Western" viewers who encountered the work. My analysis does not dispute but rather extends and complicates this approach. First, I place the work in the context of the artist's oeuvre, specifically in relation to the initiation of Gerome's sculptural practice in 1878. I interpret the figure of the nude snake charmer as a reference to the artist's virtuoso abilities in both painting and sculpture. Second, I discuss the commercial success that Gerome achieved through his popular Orientalist works. Rather than simply catering to the market for Orientalist scenes, I argue that this painting makes sophisticated commentary on its relation to that market; the performance depicted in the work functions as an allegory of the painting's reception. Finally, I discuss the display of this painting at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, in an environment of spectacle that included the famous "Oriental" pavilions meant to dazzle and shock visitors. My overall aim in exploring these new ways to consider The Snake Charmer is to encourage alternative ways of discussing Gerome's Orientalist paintings more broadly.

description: We present a zinc-blende lattice gas model of II-VI(001) surfaces, which is investigated by means of Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. Anisotropic effective interactions between surface metal atoms allow for the description of, e.g., the sublimation of CdTe(001), including the reconstruction of Cd-terminated surfaces and its dependence on the substrate temperature T. Our model also includes Te-dimerization and the potential presence of excess Te in a reservoir of weakly bound atoms at the surface. We study the self-regulation of atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) and demonstrate how the interplay of the reservoir occupation with the surface kinetics results in two different regimes: at high T the growth rate is limited to 0.5 layers per ALE cycle, whereas at low enough T each cycle adds a complete layer of CdTe. The transition between the two regimes occurs at a characteristic temperature and its dependence on external parameters is studied. Comparing the temperature dependence of the ALE growth rate in our model with experimental results for CdTe we find qualitative agreement.

Scaling reward value with demand curves versus preference tests
Creators: name: Schwartz, Lindsay P.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Between-good preference tests are a popular method for creating an ordinal scale of the value of different goods. However, such measures are influenced by how these goods interact with each other. As an alternative, I propose creating a value scale based on demand-curve elasticity. I tested both methods with monkeys by creating demand curves for three rewards, and then giving them pair-wise choices between the same rewards. In contrast to value assignments based on preference, a demand-curve approach showed little value difference between foods. The choice data in this report were compared to preference data with these subjects from another study, and showed between-study lability in preference. Given that demand analysis test-retest reliability is high while that of preference tests is not, I argue that demand analysis is the superior technique for scaling reinforcer value.

description: Convection is an important phenomenon in the atmospheres of A-type and cooler stars. A description of convection in ATLAS models is presented, together with details of how it is specified in model calculations. The effects of changing the treatment of convection on model structures and how this affects observable quantities are discussed. The role of microturbulence is examined, and its link to velocity fields within the atmosphere. Far from being free parameters, mixing-length and microturbulence should be constrained in model calculations.

description: Spatiotemporal imaging has applications in e.g. cardiac diagnostics, surgical guidance, and radiotherapy monitoring, In this paper, we explain the temporal motion by identifying the underlying dynamics, only based on the sequential images. Our dynamical model maps the inputs of observed high-dimensional sequential images to a low-dimensional latent space wherein a linear relationship between a hidden state process and the lower-dimensional representation of the inputs holds. For this, we use a conditional variational auto-encoder (CVAE) to nonlinearly map the higher-dimensional image to a lower-dimensional space, wherein we model the dynamics with a linear Gaussian state-space model (LG-SSM). The model, a modified version of the Kalman variational auto-encoder, is end-to-end trainable, and the weights, both in the CVAE and LG-SSM, are simultaneously updated by maximizing the evidence lower bound of the marginal likelihood. In contrast to the original model, we explain the motion with a spatial transformation from one image to another. This results in sharper reconstructions and the possibility of transferring auxiliary information, such as segmentation, through the image sequence. Our experiments, on cardiac ultrasound time series, show that the dynamic model outperforms traditional image registration in execution time, to a similar performance. Further, our model offers the possibility to impute and extrapolate for missing samples.

description: With the rapid progress in quantum hardware, there has been an increased interest in new quantum algorithms to describe complex many-body systems searching for the still-elusive goal of 'useful quantum advantage'. Surprisingly, quantum algorithms for the treatment of open quantum systems (OQSs) have remained under-explored, in part due to the inherent challenges of mapping non-unitary evolution into the framework of unitary gates. Evolving an open system unitarily necessitates dilation into a new effective system to incorporate critical environmental degrees of freedom. In this context, we present and validate a new quantum algorithm to treat non-Markovian dynamics in OQSs built on the Ensemble of Lindblad's Trajectories approach, invoking the Sz.-Nagy dilation theorem. Here we demonstrate our algorithm on the Jaynes-Cummings model in the strong coupling and detuned regimes, relevant in quantum optics and driven quantum systems studies. This algorithm, a key step towards generalized modeling of non-Markovian dynamics on a noisy-quantum device, captures a broad class of dynamics and opens up a new direction in OQS problems.

subject: Urban and regional planning

description: Sustainable development of urban environments is a key political issue worldwide and is of particular urgency in the developing world. The largely unplanned growth of megacities makes it difficult for policy makers to evaluate properly urban conditions, which ultimately leads to ineffective mitigation and improvement strategies.Recent advances in cartographic technologies such as remote sensing, digital photography, satellite imagery, photogrammetry, and 3D (and 4D) modeling facilitate the mapping of the urban landscape. They allow for efficient and detailed data collection on urban habitats that are often inaccessible due to physical or social complications.Urban sustainability is a luxury for nations that can afford the additional cost and intellectual capital. Spatial metrics in poorer countries is limited to ex post facto uses such as the analysis of disaster areas or long-ignored slum neighborhoods. Capabilities of new cartographic technologies continue to increase while their costs fall. The improved access to powerful spatial measuring tools can expand the quantity and quality of information on urban environments in all regions and lead to more nuanced and effective policies for sustainable development.

description: Triangle centrality is introduced for finding important vertices in a graph based on the concentration of triangles surrounding each vertex. It has the distinct feature of allowing a vertex to be central if it is in many triangles or none at all.
 We show experimentally that triangle centrality is broadly applicable to many different types of networks. Our empirical results demonstrate that 30% of the time triangle centrality identified central vertices that differed with those found by five well-known centrality measures, which suggests novelty without being overly specialized. It is also asymptotically faster to compute on sparse graphs than all but the most trivial of these other measures.
 We introduce optimal algorithms that compute triangle centrality in $O(m\barδ)$ time and $O(m+n)$ space, where $\barδ\le O(\sqrt{m})$ is the $\textit{average degeneracy}$ introduced by Burkhardt, Faber, and Harris (2020). In practical applications, $\barδ$ is much smaller than $\sqrt{m}$ so triangle centrality can be computed in nearly linear time. On a Concurrent Read Exclusive Write (CREW) Parallel Random Access Machine (PRAM), we give a near work-optimal parallel algorithm that takes $O(\log n)$ time using $O(m\sqrt{m})$ CREW PRAM processors. In MapReduce, we show it takes four rounds using $O(m\sqrt{m})$ communication bits and is therefore optimal. We also derive a linear algebraic formulation of triangle centrality which can be computed in $O(m\barδ)$ time on sparse graphs.

The form factors describing the decay are calculated and used to predict the decay width and differential distribution. The total decay width obtained from full QCD is in agreement with the previous theoretical predictions while the HQET result are typically one order smaller. Both results are consistent with the experimental upper limit and can be compared to the refined experimental data in the future.

The line list used for these syntheses has been modified from the ATLAS9 line list to improve the quality of the fits in light of the improved opacities in the new version of the MOOG code. Significant changes have been made to the Mn I line at ATLAS9 wavelength 3131.037A and an OH line has been added at 3131.358A. In addition there are a number of minor changes to gf-values throughout the synthesised region thus improving the fit for the spectra across the temperature range considerably.

title: William Dodsworth 1798-1861: the origins of Tractarian thought and practice in London
Creators: name: Young, Stephen Edward
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2003

description: This thesis presents William Dodsworth as a central figure in the transmission of Tractarian ideas from Oxford to London. His career reveals a unique interface between radical Evangelicalism and the first impact of the Oxford Movement on the religious life of the capital. Dodsworth's formation is set within the variety of religious responses produced by the ideological upheaval consequent upon the French Revolution, and in particular the revival of adventism. His life-long quest for a unified theological system that would resist liberalism in church and state underlies his early involvement in the prophetic studies movement, and his enduring commitment to pre-millennialism. Dodsworth's adventism is the key to his development from Evangelical, through Tractarianism to the Roman Catholic Church. The impetus for this evolution can be traced to his association with Edward Irving and his circle. Irving's eschatology and reinterpretation of traditional Evangelicalism led Dodsworth to an incarnation-centred soteriology which enabled him to develop a new 'Catholic' ecclesiology worked out in his preaching and sacramental practice at the Margaret Chapel from 1829. Distanced from Irving and drawn into the incipient Tractarian Movement, Dodsworth's potential for leadership was recognised by Newman, and utilized by Pusey in the establishment of Christ Church, Albany Street as a prototype of the Anglo-Catholic parish, and a first embodiment of the Oxford Movement's pastoral ideals in London. Evaluation of Dodsworth's ministry, preaching and publications not only calls for a reappraisal of his hitherto obscured place in Anglo-Catholic history, but demands a reexamination of the origins of Tractarianism in the capital and especially its relationship to contemporary Evanglicalism. This thesis concludes with a critique of Dodsworth's contribution as an Anglican convert to the Roman Catholic Church, and offers him as a promising subject for future study of nineteenth century religious history.

Spatial Metrics and Urban Planning
Creators: name: Kalil, Artur Marques
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Sustainable development of urban environments is a key political issue worldwide and is of particular urgency in the developing world. The largely unplanned growth of megacities makes it difficult for policy makers to evaluate properly urban conditions, which ultimately leads to ineffective mitigation and improvement strategies.Recent advances in cartographic technologies such as remote sensing, digital photography, satellite imagery, photogrammetry, and 3D (and 4D) modeling facilitate the mapping of the urban landscape. They allow for efficient and detailed data collection on urban habitats that are often inaccessible due to physical or social complications.Urban sustainability is a luxury for nations that can afford the additional cost and intellectual capital. Spatial metrics in poorer countries is limited to ex post facto uses such as the analysis of disaster areas or long-ignored slum neighborhoods. Capabilities of new cartographic technologies continue to increase while their costs fall. The improved access to powerful spatial measuring tools can expand the quantity and quality of information on urban environments in all regions and lead to more nuanced and effective policies for sustainable development.

description: The Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) which replaced CETA (the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act) a year ago, includes some new provisions that may work better than CETA in addressing rural unemployment issues. The principal objective of the new act is not appreciably different from that of CETA—to prepare certain groups of youths and unskilled adults for entry into the labor force and to provide Job training to some economically disadvantaged groups.
Thermodynamic cost of synchronizing a population of beating cilia

description: Synchronization among arrays of beating cilia is one of the emergent phenomena in biological processes at meso-scopic scales. Strong inter-ciliary couplings modify the natural beating frequencies, $ω$, of individual cilia to produce a collective motion that moves around a group frequency $ω_m$. Here we study the thermodynamic cost of synchronizing cilia arrays by mapping their dynamics onto a generic phase oscillator model. The model suggests that upon synchronization the mean heat dissipation rate is decomposed into two contributions, dissipation from each cilium's own natural driving force and dissipation arising from the interaction with other cilia, the latter of which can be interpreted as the one produced by a potential with a time-dependent protocol in the framework of our model. The spontaneous phase-synchronization of beating dynamics of cilia induced by strong inter-ciliary coupling is always accompanied with a significant reduction of dissipation for the cilia population, suggesting that organisms as a whole expend less energy by attaining a temporal order. At the level of individual cilia, however, a population of cilia with $|ω|< ω_m$ expend more amount of energy upon synchronization.

Finite-element analysis of contact between elastic self-affine surfaces

description: Finite element methods are used to study non-adhesive, frictionless contact between elastic solids with self-affine surfaces. We find that the total contact area rises linearly with load at small loads. The mean pressure in the contact regions is independent of load and proportional to the rms slope of the surface. The constant of proportionality is nearly independent of Poisson ratio and roughness exponent and lies between previous analytic predictions. The contact morphology is also analyzed. Connected contact regions have a fractal area and perimeter. The probability of finding a cluster of area $a_c$ drops as $a_c^{-τ}$ where $τ$ increases with decreasing roughness exponent. The distribution of pressures shows an exponential tail that is also found in many jammed systems. These results are contrasted to simpler models and experiment.

description: Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) detectable by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna are unique probes of the nature of supermassive compact objects. We compute the gravitational-wave signal emitted by a stellar-mass compact object in a circular equatorial orbit around a Kerr-like horizonless supermassive object defined by an effective radius and a reflectivity coefficient. The Teukolsky equations are solved consistently with suitable (frequency-dependent) boundary conditions, and the modified energy and angular-momentum fluxes are used to evolve the orbital parameters adiabatically. The gravitational fluxes have resonances corresponding to the low-frequency quasinormal modes of the central object, which can contribute significantly to the gravitational-wave phase. Overall, the absence of a classical event horizon in the central object can affect the gravitational-wave signal dramatically, with deviations even larger than those previously estimated by a model-independent analysis of the tidal heating. We estimate that EMRIs could potentially place the most stringent constraint on the reflectivity of supermassive compact objects at the remarkable level of ${\cal O}(10^{-6})\%$ and would allow to constrain various models which are not ruled out by the ergoregion instability. In particular, an EMRI detection could allow one to rule out (or provide evidence for) signatures of quantum black-hole horizons with Boltzmann reflectivity. Our results provide motivation for performing rigorous parameter estimation to assess the detectability of these effects.

FREIREIAN APPROACH TO PEACEBUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT
Creators: name: Schmidt, Sarah
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Freireian Approach to International Peacebuilding and Development: An in Depth Case Study Paulo Freire, in his seminal work, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, counters the antidiological and destructive tendencies of the elite with concepts focused on humanist action.With a Freireian approach to International Peacebuilding and Development, engagement and dialogue at a grassroots level has the potential to create an environment of empowerment for individuals and communities, ultimately leading to positive change and increased equality. By implemented Freireian concepts and models, practitioners have the opportunity to combat what Freire calls "false generosity". The integration of Freireian ideals would not only give a voice to the targeted population or region, but it would also combat the North-South divide mentality that is ingrained in the interactions of stakeholders at all levels. Whether applied to a macro scale, such as a government and its people or a micro scale, like the concept of peace education and the democratic relationship between teachers and students, a Freireian lens allows the struggle toward personhood and liberation to be framed in critical thought, praxeological dialogue, and conscientization. The setting from which creativity, liberty, and positive peace are realized is fed by these principals and helps overcome antidiolagical action intended to snuff out the solidarity of a united group of revolutionaries. Teachers stand on a unique platform to engage with youth in the developing world through classroom experiences, and praxeological learning opportunities. Teacher training programs based in the United States uphold a unique interaction through development efforts in the education sector worldwide. While some enable an antidiological approach to international interactions, others have encouraged positive and constructive training and implementation to help combat false generosity. Through responsible and sustainable projects, practitioners have the opportunity to stand in solidarity, creating an environment where awareness is raised, change is possible and positive peace can not only develop, but also flourish among the "radical" dialogue of those fighting for a more equal and less exploitive world.Through an in depth case study of a Freireian framed teacher training program implemented in Haiti, the practices, attitudes, and outcomes of practitioners and stakeholders will be analyzed and evaluated, ultimately shedding light on the effects of a Freireian approach to development.
