The Relation Between Components of Naming and Conditioned Seeing
Creators: Shanman, Derek
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Special education

description: In two experiments, I tested for the presence of conditioned seeing as a measureable behavior, which was measured by participants' accuracy in drawing a stimulus, and how this behavior was related to the demonstration of the naming capability. In Experiment 1, participants demonstrated a correlation between drawing responses and speaker responses in a test for naming (i.e., incidental learning of language) (r(10) = .702, p less than .02) . In Experiment 2, I tested for the effects of using a delayed phonemic response teaching intervention on the acquisition of the drawing responses. There were twelve participants in Experiment 1, six of whom then continued on to Experiment 2. In Experiment 2, I used a non-concurrent multiple probe across participants to test the effects of the phonemic response intervention on the numbers of correct listener, speaker, and drawing responses. The independent variable was the delayed phonemic response intervention to control for the presence of the names of the stimuli, which would be necessary for the demonstration of the speaker component of naming. Four of the six participants in Experiment 2 demonstrated both the acquisition of the speaker component of naming as well as the drawing responses as a function of the delayed phonemic response teaching intervention. All participants responded in one of three ways: 1) demonstrated both drawing responses and the speaker component of naming, 2) neither drawing responses nor the speaker component of naming or 3) drawing responses but not the speaker component of naming. There were no instances of the speaker component of naming without drawing responses. Results from Experiment 2 further supported the relation between these two variables suggesting the possibility that the drawing responses were a measure of conditioned seeing, and that the conditioned seeing behavior is related to the development of the naming repertoire as it pertains to visual object-name relations. Implications, limitations, and future avenues for research are discussed.
The Relation between Uncertainty in Latent Class Membership and Outcomes in a Latent Class Signal Detection Model

description: Latent class variables are often used to predict outcomes. The conventional practice is to first assign observations to one of the latent classes based on the maximum posterior probabilities. The assigned class membership is then treated as an observed variable and used in predicting the outcomes. This widely used classify-analyze strategy ignores the uncertainty of being in a certain latent class for the observations. Once an observation is classified to the latent class with the highest posterior probability, its probability of being in the assigned class is treated as being one. In addition, once observations are classified to the latent class with the highest posterior probability, their representativeness of the class becomes the same because they will all have a probability of one of being in the assigned class. Finally, standard errors are underestimated because the residual uncertainty about the latent class membership is ignored. This dissertation used simulation studies and an analysis of a real-world data set to compare five commonly adopted approaches (most likely class regression, probability regression, probability-weighted regression, pseudo-class regression, and the simultaneous approach) for measuring the association between a latent class variable and outcome variables to see which one can better account for the uncertainty in latent class membership in such a situation. The model considered in the study was a latent class extension of the signal detection model (LC-SDT) by DeCarlo, which has proved to be able to address certain measurement issues in the educational field, more specifically, rater issues involved in essay grading such as rater effects and rater reliability. An LC-SDT model has the potential for wide applications in education as well as other areas. Therefore it is important to explore the issue of accounting for uncertainty in latent class membership within this framework. Three ordinal outcome variables having a negative, weak, and strong association with the latent class variable were considered in the simulations. Results of the simulations showed that the simultaneous approach performed best in obtaining unbiased parameter estimates. It also yielded larger standard errors than the other approaches which have been found by previous research to underestimate standard errors. Even though the simultaneous approach has its advantages, including outcome variables in a latent class model can affect parameters of the response variables. Therefore, cautions need to be taken when using this approach. The analysis results of the real-world data set confirmed the trends observed in the simulation studies.

description: HD 142990 is a Bp-type star with a nearly dipolar surface magnetic field of kG strength. Recently Lenc et al. (2018) reported the tentative discovery of Electron Cyclotron Maser Emission (ECME) from this star at 200 MHz. This type of emission has been observed from only three other hot magnetic stars. In this paper, we present our observations of HD 142990 with the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio telescope (uGMRT) at 550-804 MHz and with the legacy GMRT at 1420 MHz near the rotational phases of the nulls of the longitudinal magnetic field. We found strong enhancements in flux density in both circular polarisations suggesting an ECME bandwith of at least 1.2 GHz (200-1420 MHz). In one of the observation sessions, we observed enhancements with opposite circular polarisations from the same magnetic pole. This has not been reported in any other hot magnetic star known to exhibit ECME. In order to explain this unusual finding, we suggest a scenario that involves a transition of the dominant mode of ECME between the magneto-ionic modes.

description: Diseases of the immune/inflammatory system are a widespread and significant source of pain and cost to global populations. Common, diverse, and highly variable in both symptoms and underlying mechanisms, these inflammatory disorders are challenging to address in the clinic. Critical for the development, validation, and clinical efficacy of anti-inflammatory therapeutics are bio-monitoring technologies that allow clinicians to monitor the progression of autoimmune disorders and their response to anti-inflammatory drugs. However, such technologies often suffer significant problems in their timing, means of monitoring, and lack of responsiveness to cellular-level changes in
inflammatory bioactivity. Here, I describe efforts to coordinate advances in virology, cell biology, and biomedical engineering to develop and validate an in vivo real-time biosensor of inflammation based on cutaneous gene delivery
strategies. Chapter 1 shows a survey of adeno-associated virus infectivity in skin cells, designed to facilitate inflammation reporter development in vitro and in vivo. Chapter 2 describes the development and validation of prototype inflammation sensors in the skin of an animal model. Together, these results lay the groundwork for development of an in vivo inflammation biosensor capable of
providing real-time information on inflammatory bioactivity from the skin of a living animal.

description: In 2 experiments, I analyzed relations between the presence of Bidirectional Naming (BiN) and the establishment of arbitrary and non-arbitrary relational responses. In Experiment I, I analyzed the presence and strength of correlations between Bidirectional Naming and the establishment of derived relations for 31 preschool students. For Bidirectional Naming, the participants’ responses to both familiar and unfamiliar stimuli were measured; familiar stimuli were defined as spoken and visual stimuli that may be commonly present in the participants’ environment, while unfamiliar stimuli were contrived spoken and visual stimuli that were not customarily present in the participants’ environment. For relational responses, a non-arbitrary relation was defined as a relation that can be made based on the formal characteristics of the stimuli, while an arbitrary relation would be based on verbally mediated contextual cues. Data from this experiment showed there was an overall positive correlation between the demonstration of Bidirectional Naming and the establishment of derived relations, r = .847, p < .001. Moreover, there was a strong positive correlation between Bidirectional Naming with unfamiliar stimuli and arbitrarily derived relations, r = .823, p < .001. In Experiment II, I studied the establishment of arbitrary visual-visual and auditory-visual relations for 18 preschool students. The participants were split into 3 equal groups based on their degree of Bidirectional Naming; the groups consisted of 6 participants that demonstrated Bidirectional Naming, 6 participants that demonstrated Unidirectional Naming (UniN), and 6 participants that demonstrated a low degree of Bidirectional Naming. A comparison of the mean correct responses, between experimental groups, showed a significant difference for auditory-visual relations, F(2,15) = 36.63, p < .001, as well as visual-visual relations, F(2,15) = 4.11, p = .038. These data suggest that simpler (i.e., auditory-visual) derived relations are present with Unidirectional Naming; however, the joining of the listener and speaker repertoires (i.e., Bidirectional Naming) may be necessary for the development of more complex (i.e., visual-visual) derived relations. The results of these experiments suggest strong associations between the incidental acquisition of words and the incidental acquisition of language relations. The results also provide more evidence for how the establishment of Bidirectional Naming may lead to an individual learning at accelerated rates and in new ways.

Subjects: subject: policy brief

description: HB5 of 2013 eliminated many end of course exams and lowered the course-taking requirements for many high school students. What were the main consequences? College readiness as measured by high school exams dropped precipitously. However high-school course-taking patterns were largely unchanged. Students continued to take Algebra 2 and Physics, for example, at the same rates as before although they were no longer required. There was no surge of enrollment in developmental education in community colleges. This may be because of a surge of enrollment in dual credit courses in high school. Texas should avoid changes to high school graduation requirements and focus on improving the quantity and quality of STEM courses available to high school students, particularly in computer science. HB5 of 2013 (Texas Education Agency, 2013) canceled many end of course exams at high school and changed high school graduation plans (Marder, 2015). Instead of a Recommended High School Plan that made college preparatory coursework the default for students, students could choose a Foundation + Endorsement plan, or a Distinguished plan that was similar to the previous Recommended High School Plan. Two of the end of course exams that were no longer mandatory, Algebra II and English III, had been supposed to establish college readiness for most high school students. Because these exams were no longer mandatory, the number of college-ready students from Texas high schools dropped sharply in 2015-2016 (Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, 2019, p. 16). Courses such as Algebra II, Physics and Chemistry that used to be required became optional. Substantial drops in college readiness seemed able to threaten ambitious Texas plans to prepare a more educated workforce by 2030(Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, 2015).

description: The present analysis measured recent unprotected anal intercourse (UAI), depression, and suicidality in young men who have sex with men (YMSM) to determine if these outcomes were predicted by early identity development, sexual debut, or race/ethnicity. Retrospective semi-structured interviews and self-report computer surveys were used to collect data from 598 racially diverse YMSM between the ages of 18-19 living in the New York City area. Non-parametric Spearman's correlations showed experiencing early sexual awareness was correlated with a greater number of recent UAI acts in the past 30 days. Specifically, first awareness of same-sex attractions correlated with insertive UAI acts, rs (594) = -.068, p = .045, and receptive UAI acts, rs (594) = -.115, p = .005; first realization that same-sex attractions were sexual correlated with insertive UAI acts, rs (594) = -.080), p = .021, and receptive UAI acts, rs (594) = -.106 , p = .002; and first same-sex fantasies correlated with insertive UAI acts, rs (592) = -.079), p = .023, and receptive UAI acts, rs (592) = -.091, p = .008. Additionally, experiencing first mutual masturbation, rs (449) = -.107, p = .024, first oral sex received, rs (566) = -.158, p < .000, and oral sex given, rs (571) = -.114, p = .006, at younger ages was correlated with a greater number of recent insertive UAI acts. Disclosure latency labeling positively correlated with the number of receptive acts in the past 30 days (rs (586) = .122, p = .003). Overall, it was shown that antecedents to sexual risk behaviors develop at a young age (M age of awareness = 10.47). As such, interventions should be developed for pre-adolescent MSM.

description: In radio interferometry, every pair of antennas in an array defines one sampling point in the Fourier domain of the sky image. By combining information from different wavelengths, sample coverage - and therefore reconstruction quality - can be increased. However, the images at different wavelengths can be dramatically dissimilar; this fact must be taken into account when reconstructing multi-frequency images. In this paper, we present a novel reconstruction algorithm based on the assumption that the spectrum is continuous. In contrast to prior work, we allow for sparse deviations from this assumption: this allows, for example, for accurate reconstruction of line spectra superimposed on a continuum. Using simulated measurements on synthetic multi-frequency images, we show that the proposed approach provides significant improvements over a comparable method based solely on a continuity assumption.

description: Young, fast rotating single stars can show dramatically different magnetic signatures and levels of magnetic activity as compared with the Sun. While losing angular momentum due to magnetic breaking and mass loss through stellar winds, the stars gradually spin down resulting in decreasing levels of activity. Studying magnetic activity on such solar analogues plays a key role in understanding the evolution of solar-like stars and allows a glimpse into the past of the Sun as well. In order to widen our knowledge of the magnetic evolution of the Sun and solar-like stars, magnetic activity of the young solar analogue V1358 Ori is investigated. Fourier analysis of long-term photometric data is used to derive rotational period and activity cycle length, while spectral synthesis is applied on high resolution spectroscopic data in order to derive precise astrophysical parameters. Doppler imaging is performed to recover surface temperature maps for two subsequent intervals. Cross-correlation of the consecutive Doppler maps is used to derive surface differential rotation. The rotational modulation of the chromospheric activity indicators is also investigated. An activity cycle of $\approx 1600$ days is detected for V1358 Ori. Doppler imaging revealed a surface temperature distribution dominated by a large polar cap with a few weaker features around the equator. This spot configuration is similar to other maps of young solar analogues from the literature, and supports recent model predictions. We detected solar-like surface differential rotation with a surface shear parameter of $α= 0.016 \pm 0.010$ which fits pretty well to our recently proposed empirical relation between rotation and differential rotation. The chromospheric activity indicators showed a rotational modulation.

description: The convergence of digital pathology and artificial intelligence could assist histopathology image analysis by providing tools for rapid, automated morphological analysis. This systematic review explores the use of artificial intelligence for histopathological image analysis of digitised central nervous system (CNS) tumour slides. Comprehensive searches were conducted across EMBASE, Medline and the Cochrane Library up to June 2023 using relevant keywords. Sixty‐eight suitable studies were identified and qualitatively analysed. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Prediction model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST) criteria. All the studies were retrospective and preclinical. Gliomas were the most frequently analysed tumour type. The majority of studies used convolutional neural networks or support vector machines, and the most common goal of the model was for tumour classification and/or grading from haematoxylin and eosin‐stained slides. The majority of studies were conducted when legacy World Health Organisation (WHO) classifications were in place, which at the time relied predominantly on histological (morphological) features but have since been superseded by molecular advances. Overall, there was a high risk of bias in all studies analysed. Persistent issues included inadequate transparency in reporting the number of patients and/or images within the model development and testing cohorts, absence of external validation, and insufficient recognition of batch effects in multi‐institutional datasets. Based on these findings, we outline practical recommendations for future work including a framework for clinical implementation, in particular, better informing the artificial intelligence community of the needs of the neuropathologist.

description: The present study retrospectively explored the difference and similarities in religious beliefs between female Muslims during adolescence, and their parents; and how the similarities/differences relate to the quality of the parent-child relationship. It was hypothesized that religious similarity between a parent and adolescent would be positively correlated with the quality of the parent-child relationship. Similar levels of religiosity between the mother and adolescent was positively related to the positivity of the mother-daughter relationship. The number of similar religious practices followed by the father and daughter was also positively related to the positivity of the father-daughter relationship. In addition, implications of this study and future suggestions for research are discussed in this paper.

description: Using data drawn from large-scale databases, a number of interesting trends in the fossil record have been observed in recent years. These include the average decline in extinction rates throughout the Phanerozoic, the average increase in standing diversity, correlations between rates of origination and extinction, and simple laws governing the form of survivorship curves and the distribution of the lifetimes of taxa. In this paper we derive mathematically a number of relations between these quantities and show how these different trends are inter-related. We also derive a variety of constraints on the possible forms of these trends, such as limits on the rate at which extinction may decline and limits on the allowed difference between extinction and origination rates at any given time.

description: Early warning systems (EWSs) help society to prepare for, and respond to, all types of disasters, including those related to hydrometeorological hazards. They save lives and minimize potential economic and environmental damages. Several international initiatives at the regional and global levels address early warning systems. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–20306 specifically highlights the need to “substantially increase the availability of and access to multi-hazard early warning systems and disaster-risk information and assessments to the people by 2030.” It urges efforts to make forecasting and EWSs more efficient, integrated and sustainable7,8. The WMO governance reform too emphasizes the importance of delivering integrated multi-hazard and impact-based services through EWSs that are scientific and people-centred. In this context, what is the role of young professionals – who would be mid-career by 2030 – in the design and implementation of integrated multi-hazard and impact-based EWS?.

Here we present the 3rd data release of our sample, namely the B-configuration 1.6 GHz sample. In addition, we make available the {\it band-to-band} spectral index maps between 1.6 GHz and 6.0 GHz, the latter taken in the matching resolution C-configuration. The images can be downloaded from https://www.queensu.ca/changes. These are our highest resolution images ($\approx$ 3 arcsec) and we examine the possible presence of low luminosity active galactic nuclei in the sample as well as some in-disk structure. New features can be seen in the spectral index maps that are masked in the total intensity emission, including hidden spiral arms in NGC~3448 and two previously unknown radio lobes on either side of the nucleus of NGC~3628. Our AGN detection rate, using only radio criteria, is 55\% which we take as a lower limit because some weaker embedded AGNs are likely present which could be revealed at higher resolution. Archival XMM-Newton data were used to search for further fingerprints of the AGNs in the studied sample. In galaxy disks, discrete regions of flat spectral index are seen, likely due to a thermal emission fraction that is higher than the global average.

It has been demonstrated numerically that for purely noise-induced transitions (transitions over potential barriers) the time evolution of mean coordinate is a simple exponent with a good precision even for the case when the potential barrier height is comparable or smaller than the noise intensity. Also it has been demonstrated that nonlinear system may be "linearized" by a strong noise.

Aggregation of Tabular (Sequence) Datasets in DAP / ERDDAP
Creators: name: Simons, Bob
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: This presentation was given at a panel session at the 2015 ESIP Summer meeting in Pacific Grove, CA on July 16. The Session was called: "Advancing the Power and Utility of Server-Side Aggregation". 

Summary of presentation: 

The document discusses aggregation of tabular (sequence) datasets in DAP/ERDDAP, with a focus on defining terms, understanding tabular datasets, and the power of aggregation. ERDDAP, established in 1984 and funded by NSF/AGS, provides comprehensive data services for atmospheric and related sciences. It offers over 30 real-time data streams, software tools, user support, and training.

Tabular datasets, good for in-situ data, come from diverse sources like databases, CSV files, and more. ERDDAP presents datasets as one table (sequence), aggregating multiple features by concatenating rows. DAP sequence requests use dataset terminology, making requests easy, while responses are presented as tables. Internally, ERDDAP maintains a database for efficient data retrieval.

Aggregation simplifies user tasks by providing a single dataset for queries, responses in one file, and easier data discovery. ERDDAP works with both gridded and tabular data, providing DAP-compatible features, catalog services, and returning data in multiple formats. It promotes data-driven community resilience through its features.

In summary, ERDDAP offers a user-friendly platform for accessing and aggregating tabular datasets, simplifying data retrieval and analysis tasks.

Abstract of the session:

Tying this session to the overall ESIP-Summer-Meeting theme of "data-driven community resilience," we enlist speakers with expertise on: the diverse ways that large collections of data granules can now or potentially be used for scientific, economic or societal advancement.

We specifically will aim to enlist speakers from communities where important needs for data (such as very long time series, e.g.) may be orthogonal to how the data are collected and stored.

To set the stage for discussion, we describe new OpenDAP aggregation features (developed for NASA/ESDIS) that we think may open doors to unprecedented forms of data-mining and statistical supports for resiliency.

Subjects: subject: policy brief

description: E3 Alliance is a regional, data-driven education collaborative based in Austin, Texas. We are helping to build the strongest educational pipeline in the country to drive regional economic prosperity. Founded in 2006, E3 Alliance acts as a catalyst for change, working to break down barriers and build better alignment across the education continuum. Our name tells our story: Education Equals Economics. We believe that children’s educational achievement is the key to realizing economic prosperity and high quality of life for our Central Texas community. Such achievement requires systemic change from cradle to career. E3 Alliance is committed to bringing about this change in our community. In pursuit of systemic change, E3 Alliance is guided by The Blueprint for Educational Change, Central Texas’ strategic plan for improving the educational pipeline from ‘cradle to career’. Our approach to supporting educational improvement is fundamentally ‘data driven.’ We use the most up-to-date and comprehensive data to drive our work. We also make this same data available to institutions and individuals working to improve education in Central Texas. Additionally, as the P16 Council for Central Texas, E3 Alliance has a formal responsibility to our contractual partners (15 school districts in the five county Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA, seven institutions of higher education in the region, and dozens of social services, early childhood, nonprofit, business and philanthropic partners) to provide data and analytics for decision-making with the goal of aligning policy and practice. We provide increasingly sophisticated data and analytics to drive such policy and practice decisions based on ERC data sets since the first acceptance of ERC research proposals over a decade ago. “We invest in communities all over the world, and in every place we work our investments are driven by objective data. But our most effective education data comes from E3 Alliance, through Texas’s Education Research Centers. We use this information for our own investment decision-making, for guiding the work of our grantees, and for making collective decisions with partners in Texas. ERC data analyzed by E3 is truly invaluable to us.” - Virginia Potter, Grant Officer - Central Texas, The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation

description: In characteristic two and dimension two, wild Z/2Z-actions on k[[u,v]] ramified precisely at the origin were classified by Artin, who showed in particular that they induce hypersurface singularities. We introduce in this article a new class of wild quotient singularities in any characteristic p>0 arising from certain non-linear actions of Z/pZ on the formal power series ring in n variables. These actions are ramified precisely at the origin, and their rings of invariants in dimension n=2 are hypersurface singularities, with an equation of a form similar to the form found by Artin when p=2. In higher dimension, the rings of invariants are not local complete intersection in general, but remain quasi-Gorenstein. We establish several structure results for such actions and their corresponding rings of invariants.

description: We study the dynamics of emission of radiation (small-amplitude waves) in fast collisions between two solitons of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation in the presence of weak cubic loss. We calculate the radiation dynamics by a perturbation technique with two small parameters: the cubic loss coefficient $ε_{3}$ and the reciprocal of the group velocity difference $1/β$. The agreement between the perturbation theory predictions and the results of numerical simulations with the full coupled-NLS propagation model is very good for large $β$ values, and is good for intermediate $β$ values. Additional numerical simulations with four simplified NLS models show that the differences between perturbation theory and simulations for intermediate $β$ values are due to the effects of Kerr nonlinearity on interpulse interaction in the collision. Thus, our study demonstrates that the perturbation technique that was originally developed to study radiation dynamics in fast soliton collisions in the presence of conservative perturbations can also be employed for soliton collisions in the presence of dissipative perturbations.

Vassiliev invariants and the cubical knot complex

Subjects: subject: Geometric Topology (math.GT)

description: We construct a cubical CW-complex CK(M^3) whose rational cohomology algebra contains Vassiliev invariants of knots in the 3-manifold M^3. We construct \bar{CK}(R^3) by attaching cells to CK(R^3) for every degenerate 1-singular and 2-singular knot, and we show that π_1(\bar{CK}(R^3))=1 and π_2(\bar{CK}(R^3))=Z. We give conditions for Vassiliev invariants to be nontrivial in cohomology. In particular, for R^3 we show that v_2 uniquely generates H^2(CK,D), where D is the subcomplex of degenerate singular knots. More generally, we show that any Vassiliev invariant coming from the Conway polynomial is nontrivial in cohomology. The cup product in H^*(CK) provides a new graded commutative algebra of Vassiliev invariants evaluated on ordered singular knots. We show how the cup product arises naturally from a cocommutative differential graded Hopf algebra of ordered chord diagrams.

The Relationship Between Sibling Relationship Quality and Psychosocial Outcomes in Emerging Adulthood
Creators: Marotta, Ashley Kronen
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: This dissertation focuses on the impact of sibling relationship quality on psychological outcomes in 1361 emerging adults between the ages of 18 and 29.  Previous research has demonstrated a strong link between sibling relationship quality and psychosocial well-being; however, these studies have focused mostly on children, adolescents, and later life adults. There has been little research exploring the effects of sibling relationship quality on psychological well-being in emerging adults. Because emerging adulthood is a time of considerable change, it has been deemed important to better understand the association between the perceived quality of the sibling relationship (warmth, conflict, and/or rivalry) and both sibling relationship variables (age difference, gender concordance, sibling contact, and minority status) and psychological variables (positive affect, negative affect, self esteem, and altruism) during this developmental time period. Results suggest that, in this sample, the quality of the sibling relationship, as measured by warmth, conflict, and rivalry is significantly related to measures of psychological outcome, specifically affectivity, self-esteem, and altruism, while controlling for demographic and familial structural variables (age difference, gender concordance, sibling contact, and minority status) in emerging adulthood.
Integrable semi-discretization of the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations

description: A system of semi-discrete coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations is studied. To show the complete integrability of the model with multiple components, we extend the discrete version of the inverse scattering method for the single-component discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation proposed by Ablowitz and Ladik. By means of the extension, the initial-value problem of the model is solved. Further, the integrals of motion and the soliton solutions are constructed within the framework of the extension of the inverse scattering method.

description: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will observe several stars for long cumulative durations while pursuing exoplanets as primary science targets for both Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) and very likely General Observer (GO) programs. Here we argue in favor of an automatic default parallels program to observe e.g., using the F200W/F277W filters or grism of NIRCAM/NIRISS in order to find high redshift (z >> 10) galaxies, cool red/brown dwarf-sub-stellar objects, Solar System objects, and observations of serendipitous planetary transits. We argue here the need for automated exploratory astrophysical observations with unused JWST instruments during these long duration exoplanet observations. Randomized fields that are observed in parallel mode reduce errors due to cosmic variance more effectively than single continuous fields of a typical wedding cake observing strategy (Trenti & Stiavelli 2008). Hence, we argue that the proposed automated survey will explore a unique and rich discovery space in high redshift Universe, Galactic structure, and Solar System. We show that the GTO and highly-probable GO target list of exoplanets covers the Galactic disk/halo and high redshift Universe, mostly well out of the plane of the disk of the Milky Way. Exposure times are of the order of the CEERS GTO medium deep survey in a single filter, comparable to CANDELS in HST's surveys and deep fields. The area covered by NIRISS and NIRCam combined could accumulate to a half square degree surveyed.

The Relationship Between Stellar Rotation and Magnetic Activity as Revealed by M37 and Alpha Persei

Low mass stars

description: In low-mass (≲1.2 M⊙) main-sequence stars, the combination of differential rotation and turbulent flows in the outer convective region generates strong magnetic fields. It has been observed that in these stars, the rotation rate and the strength of the magnetic field decrease over time. This is thought to result from a feedback loop in which magnetized winds carry angular momentum away from the star, braking its rotation and weakening the magnetic dynamo. A well-calibrated age-rotation-activity relation (ARAR) would be particularly valuable for low-mass stars. If we knew the dependence of rotation or magnetic activity on age, a measurement of one of these quantities could be used to determine an accurate age for any isolated field star. Empirical calibrations of the ARAR rely on observations of the co-eval populations of stars in open clusters. In this work, I characterize rotation and magnetic activity, using light curves for the former and X-ray and Hα emission for the latter, in two open clusters of different ages (Alpha Persei, ≈60 Myr, and Messier 37, ≈500 Myr) to analyze the relation between rotation and activity across the low-mass stellar range. I also compare coronal (X-rays) and chromospheric (Hα) activity to understand how magnetic heating varies across stellar atmospheric layers. My results inform models of angular momentum evolution in low-mass stars.
Testing Cosmic Censorship in Kerr-like Collapse Situations

description: According to the cosmic censorship hypothesis of Penrose, naked singularities should never occur in realistic collapse situations. One of the major open problems in this context is the existence of a naked singularity in the Kerr solution with |a|>m; this singularity can be interpreted as the final product of collapse of a rapidly rotating object. Assuming that certain very general and physically reasonable conditions hold, we show here, using the global techniques, that a realistic gravitational collapse of any rotating object, which develops from a regular initial state, cannot lead to the formation of a final state resembling the Kerr solution with a naked singularity. This result supports the validity of the cosmic censorship hypothesis.
