description: We use a variant of principal component analysis to investigate the possible temporal evolution of the dark energy equation of state, w(z). We constrain w(z) in multiple redshift bins, utilizing the most recent data from Type Ia supernovae, the cosmic microwave background, baryon acoustic oscillations, the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect, galaxy clustering, and weak lensing data. Unlike other recent analyses, we find no significant evidence for evolving dark energy; the data remains completely consistent with a cosmological constant. We also study the extent to which the time-evolution of the equation of state would be constrained by a combination of current- and future-generation surveys, such as Planck and the Joint Dark Energy Mission.

The American Mind Goes Inside: The Loss of American Citizen Learning Institutions and the Individualization of Public Thinking
Creators: name: Beacom
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Lyceum

description: Alexis de Tocqueville famously argued that voluntary associations among citizens were the necessary corrective to the atomizing influences of democracy. One of those influences, he argued, was a tendency to promote individualism in the life of the mind, which in turn risked a public intellectual life dominated by the whims of popular fancy. Taking this concern as a point of departure, this paper proposes to chart the rise and decline of communal intellectual life in America. In Part 1, I deal with the history of America’s most influential movements of what I call “Citizen Learning,” movements of communal, voluntary, public intellectual life. In this section, I argue that these movements had a salutary effect on American public thinking, answering Tocqueville’s concerns by promoting thinking as part of a community, developing tolerance of differences, and sharpening healthy habits of the heart and mind with respect to public conversation. In Part 2, I explore the reasons for the loss of these movements and the effect of their loss on our intellectual culture. Applying the research of contemporary sociologists to the question of communal intellectual life, I argue that the loss of these in-person, local intellectual institutions has been a factor in creating a public intellectual life that is more polarized, more radical, and more distrustful.

description: How will assessments of the future balance of power be affected by the profound importance of semiconductors for modern militaries and for global and local economies? I argue that four overarching characteristics of the semiconductor industry, each exacerbated by the specifics of U.S.-China relations, render the anticipation of shifts in the balance of power remarkably difficult. The industry is highly dynamic and unavoidably sensitive to subtle and unpredictable developments; innovation is driven by a commercial sector increasingly divorced from military needs; the quantities and types of chips needed by militaries and their ability to reliably secure them is increasingly unpredictable; and producing and accessing chips in major conflict environments would be exceptionally challenging. The profound importance of semiconductors in great power politics greatly reduces the ability to anticipate shifts in the balance of power with any certainty.

Shell Model Analysis of the Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay of $^{48}$Ca
Creators: name: Horoi, Mihai

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The neutrinoless double beta ($0νββ$) decay process could provide crucial information to determine the absolute scale of the neutrino masses, and it is the only one that can establish whether neutrino is a Dirac or a Majorana particle. A key ingredient for extracting the absolute neutrino masses from $0νββ$ decay experiments is a precise knowledge of the nuclear matrix elements (NME) describing the half-life of this process. We developed a new shell model approach for computing the $0νββ$ decay NME, and we used it to analyze the $0νββ$ mode of $^{48}$Ca. The dependence of the NME on the short range correlations parameters, on the average energy of the intermediate states, on the finite-size cutoff parameters, and on the effective interaction used for the many-body calculations is discussed.

A study of decision making in four complex organizations
Creators: name: Harvey, Edward Franklin Burns
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A model of organizational decision making is developed in terms of which certain components of the process - formation of goals, search procedures, making of a choice etc. - are conceptualized as being arranged sequentially along a temporal continuum. The temporal extensiveness of this continuum is seen as largely being a function of bargaining processes visa-vis components of a given decision by the differentiated sub-units of an organization. Research carried out among four technologically differentiated organizations provides empirical verification for the conceptual model and illustrates certain limitations to organizational rationality and the role of organizational politics in decision making.
Models Of Governance And Development Administration

Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT: Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, College of Asia and the Pacific, The Australian National University
Year: 1996

description: Writing on governance and development typically distinguishes two meanings (Lefi:wich 1993; Williams and Young 1994).The first, 'good government', is concerned with legitimacy, accountability and the limits of state power (Moore 1993). The second, originally invoked by the World Bank (1989: 60), is more concerned with the ability to govern effectively. Here I want to consider applications of a third meaning, which sees governance as the result of the interaction between different models of coordination, including markets and communities, as well as hierarchy, the state or 'the government' (Campbell, Hollingsworth and Lindberg 1991 ; Kooiman 1993; Larmour 1994).

Non-linear Least Squares Fitting in IDL with MPFIT
Creators: name: Markwardt, Craig B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: MPFIT is a port to IDL of the non-linear least squares fitting program MINPACK-1. MPFIT inherits the robustness of the original FORTRAN version of MINPACK-1, but is optimized for performance and convenience in IDL. In addition to the main fitting engine, MPFIT, several specialized functions are provided to fit 1-D curves and 2-D images; 1-D and 2-D peaks; and interactive fitting from the IDL command line. Several constraints can be applied to model parameters, including fixed constraints, simple bounding constraints, and "tying" the value to another parameter. Several data weighting methods are allowed, and the parameter covariance matrix is computed. Extensive diagnostic capabilities are available during the fit, via a call-back subroutine, and after the fit is complete. Several different forms of documentation are provided, including a tutorial, reference pages, and frequently asked questions. The package has been translated to C and Python as well. The full IDL and C packages can be found at http://purl.com/net/mpfit

description: Single phase, c-axis oriented, e-doped, Sr1-xLaxCuO2 thin films were epitaxially grown on KTaO3 and DyScO3 substrates by reactive rf sputtering. As-grown films being insulating due to oxygen excess, oxygen reduction is necessary to observe superconductivity. Two different procedures were employed to reach superconductivity. On one hand an in-situ reduction process was conducted on a series of films deposited on both types of substrates. On the other hand, an ex-situ reduction procedure was performed sequentially on a single film deposited on DyScO3. The study of the influence of oxygen reduction on the structural and electronic properties of the thin films is presented and discussed.

description: One of the anticipated outcomes of the Hearing Aid Orientation Program (HOP) at the Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC) in Baltimore, Maryland was a reduction in the number of hearing aid walk-in clinic visits. This study was conducted to evaluate if there was a difference in the number of walk-in clinic visits between 30 veterans who opted to attend a HOP and 30 veterans who chose not to attend. The data were analyzed for differences between the HOP and non-HOP groups, for reasons the patients went to walk-in clinic, and for other factors that may have affected the number of walk-in hearing aid clinic visits. No statistically significant difference was found between the number of walk-in clinic visits for HOP and non-HOP veterans. There was a statistically significant difference in the number of walk-in clinic visits between patients who paid for hearing aids and those who received free hearing aids.

The effects of mill dams on instantaneous suspended sediment yield: Baltimore County, Maryland
Creators: name: Allen, Benjamin J.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: The construction and demise of historic mill dams has recently been viewed as an important cause of stream channel degradation and increased sediment loads. When intact, mill dams trapped agricultural sediments, which were subsequently released after the dams breached or were removed. In this project, I documented the locations of 164 former mill sites in Baltimore County using historic maps, LiDAR data, and field visits. Additionally, I compared instantaneous suspended sediment yields between a group of previously dammed watersheds and a similar group of undammed watersheds. It was determined that both groups transported similar, relatively high amounts of sediment, which may be attributable to the small range of discharges sampled during this one-year study, or that factors other than the presence of mill sediments, such as upland soil erosion, may be responsible. Future work is needed to investigate this comparison over a longer time period, and to identify sources of sediment.

Evidence for a Triaxial Milky Way Dark Matter Halo from the Sagittarius Stellar Tidal Stream

description: Observations of the lengthy tidal streams produced by the destruction of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (Sgr dSph) are capable of providing strong constraints on the shape of the Galactic gravitational potential. However, previous work, based on modeling different stream properties in axisymmetric Galactic models has yielded conflicting results: while the angular precession of the Sgr leading arm is most consistent with a spherical or slightly oblate halo, the radial velocities of stars in this arm are only reproduced by prolate halo models. We demonstrate that this apparent paradox can be resolved by instead adopting a triaxial potential. Our new Galactic halo model, which simultaneously fits all well-established phase space constraints from the Sgr stream, provides the first conclusive evidence for, and tentative measurement of, triaxiality in an individual dark matter halo. The Milky Way halo within ~ 60 kpc is best characterized by a minor/major axis ratio of the isovelocity contours c/a ~ 0.67, intermediate/major axis ratio b/a ~ 0.83, and triaxiality parameter T ~ 0.56. In this model, the minor axis of the dark halo is coincident with the Galactic X axis connecting the Sun and the Galactic Center to within ~ 15 degrees, while the major axis also lies in the Galactic plane, approximately along the Galactic Y axis.

Utilization of geographic information systems technology in middle and high schools in the State of Maryland

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2012

description: Over the past decade there has been a growing interest in the use of geographic information systems (GIS) technology for kindergarten through 12th grade education. This study examines if and how Maryland teachers are utilizing GIS in the classroom.  In addition, the study considers the perceived instructional benefits of this technology, as well as the factors constraining or preventing wider adoption of GIS in Maryland?s schools.     A self-administered, cross-sectional Internet questionnaire was sent to science and social studies teachers in the State of Maryland who teach grades 6-12.  Of all respondents, 86.8% are not currently using GIS in their classroom.  The survey results confirmed that: 1) Teachers lack training and do not possess educational background in geography and GIS; and 2) The lack of easy-to-use software, digital geospatial data, teacher training, and educational pedagogy, particularly lessons key to state standards, prevent teachers from utilizing GIS as an educational tool.

description: A theoretical and numerically study of dynamical properties in the sol-gel transition is presented. In particular, the complex phenomenology observed experimentally and numerically in gelling systems is reproduced in the framework of percolation theory, under simple assumptions on the relaxation of single clusters. By neglecting the correlation between particles belonging to different clusters, the quantities of interest (such as the self intermediate scattering function, the dynamical susceptibility, the Van-Hove function, and the non-Gaussian parameter) are written as superposition of those due to single clusters. Connection between these behaviors and the critical exponents of percolation are given. The theoretical predictions are checked in a model for permanent gels, where bonds between monomers are described by a finitely extendable nonlinear elastic potential. The data obtained in the numerical simulations are in good agreement with the analytical predictions.

description: We fabricated large area infrared photodetector devices from thin film of chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets and studied their photoresponse as a function of laser position. We found that the photocurrent either increases, decreases or remain almost zero depending upon the position of the laser spot with respect to the electrodes. The position sensitive photoresponse is explained by Schottky barrier modulation at the RGO film-electrode interface. The time response of the photocurrent is dramatically slower than single sheet of graphene possibly due to disorder from the chemically synthesis and interconnecting sheets.

Plastic deformation of lithium fluoride.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A nonuniform annealing rate of color centers in LiF is attributed to a nonuniform density of dislocations which, in turn, is a direct consequence of the cleaving process. The tensile deformation properties of annealed LiF crystals were determined over the temperature range – 196 ⁰C. to +60 ⁰C. Several tests were also carried out on ɣ - irradiated specimens at ambient temperatures. A transition occurs in the work hardening rate during stage II deformation. Experiments involving both strain-rate and temperature cycling were performed over the limited temperature range of - 60 to +60 ⁰C. The results were analyzed in terms of rate theory expressions and indicated that the rate controlling mechanism for dislocation motion in stage IIA is probably the nonconservative motion of jogs in screw dislocations. Stage IIB hardening is more likely controlled by dislocation intersections. Evidence is presented which indicated that stress relaxation experiments may provide an extremely easy technique for the determination of the internal flow stress. Values obtained from such experiments on LiF agree remarkably well with those obtained from rate theory experiments.

Determination of Black Hole Masses in Galactic Black Hole Binaries using Scaling of Spectral and Variability Characteristics

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We present a study of correlations between X-ray spectral and timing properties observed from a number of Galactic Black Hole (BH) binaries during hard-soft state spectral evolution. We analyze 17 transition episodes from 8 BH sources observed with RXTE. Our scaling technique for BH mass determination uses a correlation between spectral index and quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) frequency. In addition, we use a correlation between index and the normalization of the disk "seed" component to cross-check the BH mass determination and estimate the distance to the source. While the index-QPO correlations for two given sources contain information on the ratio of the BH masses in those sources, the index-normalization correlations depend on the ratio of the BH masses and the distance square ratio. In fact, the index-normalization correlation also discloses the index-mass accretion rate saturation effect given that the normalization of disk "seed" photon supply is proportional to the disk mass accretion rate. We present arguments that this observationally established index saturation effect is a signature of the bulk motion (converging) flow onto black hole which was early predicted by the dynamical Comptonization theory. We use GRO J1655-40 as a primary reference source for which the BH mass, distance and inclination angle are evaluated by dynamical measurements with unprecedented precision among other Galactic BH sources. We apply our scaling technique to determine BH masses and distances forCygnus X-1, GX 339-4, 4U 1543-47, XTE J1550-564, XTE J1650-500, H 1743-322 and XTE J1859-226. Good agreement of our results for sources with known values of BH masses and distance provides an independent verification for our scaling technique.

description: Siamo la frontiera tra la distruzione del pensiero metafisico e un’esplorazione radicale della materia vivente. Superiamo la dicotomia mente-corpo, radicando la coscienza nel sentire viscerale e nella sostanza biologica. La nostra filosofia è processo puro, fluido, in perenne critica di sé stessa: un vitalismo non ultareale che rifiuta ogni forma statica, linguistica o concettuale (noi proponiamo fenomeno di scivolamento cognitivo), per rimanere movimento, pulsazione e carne pensante.
Towards a framework of enabling efficient and secured energy based cyber-physical system (CPS)
Creators: name: Xu, Guobin

description: CPSs are referred to the systems that are built from the synergy of computational, communication, and physical components. The design of CPS tends to integrate computation and communication capabilities with monitoring and controlling of entities in the physical world. Unlike traditional embedded systems, CPSs are engineered physical systems, which are integrated, monitored and controlled by an intelligent computational core. A number of CPSs, including the Smart Grid, process control systems, transportation systems, and healthcare systems are expected to be developed using advanced computing and communication technologies. The Smart Grid, as an energy-based CPS, must be dependable, cost-effective, secure, safe, and efficient and operate in real-time, which is a highly distributed and complicated system that manages and controls geographically dispersed assets. This kind of system inherently operates under the presence of uncertainty or unpredictable behavior due to intrinsic and extrinsic courses and cyber adversaries. By providing efficient and secured operation performance of the Smart Grid, high volume data streams associated with the Smart Grid operations need to be quickly processed and analyzed, raising significant challenges, which can hinder the effectiveness of systems themselves. To address those challenges and corresponding issues, in this dissertation, we develop a framework to enable efficient and secured energy based CPS by developing effective schemes to address the uncertainty in both cyber and physical components in the Smart Grid. To be specific, first, to adapt physical uncertainties, we develop techniques to effectively manage distributed renewable energy resources to make the energy transmission and distribution more efficient. Second, to investigate cyber uncertainties to the system, we systematically explore the space of attacks in energy management and investigate the risk of those attacks and countermeasures. Finally, we investigate cloud computing to efficiently store and process big data for the Smart Grid operations and security management.

Salicylate induced tinnitus in rats: using a pre-pulse inhibition model to estimate pitch
Creators: name: Mahoney, Cara J.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Tinnitus
subject: Rats as laboratory animals
subject: Salicylates

description: The study of tinnitus in animals has gone through a number of changes with each new animal model of tinnitus that is introduced, and with each change, new information is gained. The advent of the pre-pulse inhibition model has shown that it can be a fast and effective means of measuring the pitch of tinnitus in rats. In this study, the pre-pulse inhibition model was used to determine the pitch of salicylate induced tinnitus in the presence of two levels of background stimuli, 48 and 60 dB SPL. Results showed that a significant difference of PPI was present when comparing baseline and salicylate responses at 16 kHz for the 48 dB SPL background level, indicating the presence of tinnitus with this frequency. Unlike past studies, a significant finding for the 60 dB SPL background level was not found.

Temperature effects on otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstem responses in rats
Creators: name: Snyder, Amanda N.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Auditory evoked response
subject: Otoacustic emissions

description: Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) and Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABRs) are objective diagnostic tools used in audiology to provide information regarding pathologies of the auditory system. Several factors, besides hearing loss, can affect OAEs and ABRs. Internal factors include body temperature and internal noise of the individual, whereas some external factors include environmental noise, probe placement, and equipment parameters. The purpose of this study was to provide more information on the effects of body temperature on Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAEs) and tone-burst Auditory Brainstem Reponses in the pigmented rat. Results indicate that there was no significant effect of body temperature on either the amplitude of the DPOAEs or the threshold of the tone-burst ABRs.

Dynamic heterogeneities in critical coarsening: Exact results for correlation and response fluctuations in finite-sized spherical models

description: We study dynamic heterogeneities in the out-of-equilibrium coarsening dynamics of the spherical ferromagnet after a quench from infinite temperature to its critical point. A standard way of probing such heterogeneities is by monitoring the fluctuations of correlation and susceptibility, coarse-grained over mesoscopic regions. We discuss how to define fluctuating coarse-grained correlations (C) and susceptibilities (Chi) in models where no quenched disorder is present. Our focus for the spherical model is on coarse-graining over the whole volume of $N$ spins, which requires accounting for N^{-1/2} non-Gaussian fluctuations of the spin. The latter are treated as a perturbation about the leading order Gaussian statistics. We obtain exact results for these quantities, which enable us to characterise the joint distribution of C and Chi fluctuations. We find that this distribution is qualitatively different, even for equilibrium above criticality, from the spin-glass scenario where C and Chi fluctuations are linked in a manner akin to the fluctuation-dissipation relation between the average C and Chi. Our results show that coarsening at criticality is clearly heterogeneous for d>4 and suggest that, as in other glassy systems, there is a well-defined timescale on which fluctuations across thermal histories are largest. Surprisingly, however, neither this timescale nor the amplitude of the heterogeneities increase with the age of the system, as would be expected from the growing correlation length. For d<4, the strength of the fluctuations varies on a timescale proportional to the age of the system; the corresponding amplitude also grows with age, but does not scale with the correlation volume as might have been expected naively.

Post-lingually deafened adults, cochlear implants and quality of life (QoL): a research study
Creators: name: Shaw Hart, Nancy E.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Cochlear implants
subject: Hearing impaired -- Rehabilitation
subject: Quality of life

description: Hearing loss is the third most common chronic medical condition in the elderly. Treatment options for hearing loss include hearing aids and cochlear implants. Cochlear implants (CI) are a viable option for post-lingually deafened adults, although benefit is extremely variable from person to person. Assessing quality of life (QoL) as a way to document CI benefit can be helpful both clinically and with strategic planning for centers. While functional benefit assessment methods are standardized, there is no standard protocol for assessing QoL. Results from this study suggested that a standardized protocol for assessing QoL with post-lingually deafened adults using cochlear implants could be helpful.

title: Second Culture Acquisition and Second Language Acquisition: Faux amis?
Creators: name: Libben, Gary
name: Lindner, Oda
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: One of the well-known characteristics of modern approaches to second language learning is the view that successful second language acquisition (SLA) is accompanied by second culture acquisition (SCA) (e.g., Hamers & Blanc,1989; Schumann 1978). It seems clear that a learner's acquisition of communicative competence must involve more than the command of the grammatical structures of the target language and a mastery of its phonology. The learner must also acquire new cultural knowledge and a set of culture-specific constraints on linguistic behaviour. The claims above make sense. There is little doubt that, in the best case, expansions of linguistic competence should be accompanied by expansions of cultural competence. But there is also a way in which the claims above make too much sense. They suggest a straightforward parallelism between SLA and SCA as well as a parallelism between the successful end-states of bilingualism and biculturalism. In this paper, we suggest that although the parallels between SLA and SCA are intuitively appealing, they often mask important underlying differences in the ways in which linguistic knowledge and cultural knowledge are organized as well as important differences in the acquisition process.

description: Perturbative QCD results in the MSbar scheme can be dramatically improved by switching to a scheme that accounts for the dominant power law dependence on the factorization scale in the operator product expansion. We introduce the ``MSR scheme'' which achieves this in a Lorentz and gauge invariant way. The MSR scheme has a very simple relation to MSbar, and can be easily used to reanalyze MSbar results. Results in MSR depend on a cutoff parameter R, in addition to the mu of MSbar. R variations can be used to independently estimate i) the size of power corrections, and ii) higher order perturbative corrections (much like mu in MSbar). We give two examples at three-loop order, the ratio of mass splittings in the B*-B and D*-D systems, and the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule as a function of momentum transfer Q in deep inelastic scattering. Comparing to data, the perturbative MSR results work well even for Q ~ 1 GeV, and the size of power corrections is reduced compared to those in MSbar.
