description: We present the case that Luttinger liquids are characterized by a form of hidden order which is similar, but distinct in some crucial regards, to the hidden order characterizing spin-1 Heisenberg chains. We construct a string correlator for the Luttinger liquid which is similar to the string correlator constructed by den Nijs and Rommelse for the spin chain. From a geometric prespective on the so-called `squeezed space' construction, we demonstrate that the physics at long wavelength can be reformulated in terms of a $Z_2$ gauge theory. Peculiarly, the normal spin chain lives at infinite gauge coupling where it is characterized by deconfinement. We identify the microscopic conditions required for confinement thereby identifying a novel phase of the spin-chain. We demonstrate that the Luttinger liquid can be approached in the same general framework. The difference from the spin chain is that the gauge sector is critical in the sense that the Luttinger liquid is at the phase boundary where the $Z_2$ local symmetry emerges. We evaluate the string correlator analytically and show that the squeezed space structure is present both for the strongly coupled Hubbard model and the non-interacting fermion gas. These structures are hard-wired in the mathematical structure of bosonization and this becomes obvious by considering string correlators. Numerical results are presented for the string correlator using a non-abelian version of the density matrix renormalization group algorithm, confirming in detail the expectations following from the theory. We conclude with some observations regarding the generalization of bosonization to higher dimensions.

description: This paper proposes a universal microscopic model for the shallow confinement regime of single-electron tunneling devices. We consider particle escape from a quantum well generically emerging as a bifurcation in a smooth electrostatic potential and develop a set of analytic and numerical approximations for the ground-state tunneling and thermally activated escape rates. These approximations are applied to the problem of electron capture by a closing tunnel barrier where the competition between the closing speed and the escape rate defines a scaling relation for the capture fidelity. Effective one-dimensional cubic potential approximation leads to a universal form of this scaling relation in terms of device-independent dimensionless depth and speed parameters. Using predictions for temperature and magnetic-field dependence we show how to infer the energy scales of cubic longitudinal and quadratic transverse confinement. Finally, we derive an intrinsic quantum speed bound for adiabatic protection of the ground state tunneling and show that the latter can potentially be exploited up to the break down of confinement with a practical speed limit set by reaching the quantum uncertainty of the barrier height before the onset of non-adiabatic excitation. These results contribute to mapping out the physical limits of single-electron quantum technologies for electrical metrology and sensing.

Enter the . A Review of the Encoding Practices of Stage Directions within the TEI

Subjects: subject: stage direction

subject: drama
subject: Digital humanities

description: Abstract

Stage directions and other non-dialogical aspects of the dramatic texts have been overlooked historically and have received only minor scholarly attention. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the TEI's treatment of them is equally superficial. This is the source of diverse problems. On the one hand, this leads to certain not uncommon structures of the drama to be impossible to encode within the TEI. For example, the blend of speech prefix and genuine stage direction in "Pendant ce temps, ADRIEN." has no obvious nor trivial markup within the TEI. On the other hand, the current guidelines tend to mislead practitioners, resulting in poor markup choices. Maybe the most aggravating example occurs whenever a dialog is introduced not with a speech prefix but with a stage direction. In these cases, the dialog is habitually ignored as a speech or the stage direction is changed to conform to our idea of a classic speech prefix. These problems are augmented by the fact that the term “stage direction” lacks a stable equivalent in many languages. The poster explores "impossible" and unconventional stage directions from French, Spanish, and German plays as well as their encoding within the TEI(-adjacent) projects Théâtre Classique, ArteLope, Deutsches Textarchive, and TextGrid Repository. It aims at a productive criticism of the current TEI schemata and guidelines and suggests ways to overcome existing shortcomings.

description: The relationship between regulatory disorders and mother-child interaction was examined with middle to upper-class, highly educated mothers and their 7 to 11 month olds. Mothers of regulatory-disordered infants (n = 11) did not treat their infants any differently than mothers of nonregulatory-disordered infants (n = 43). However, regulatory-disordered infants exhibited more verbal/physical protest behaviors in response to barely noticeable approaches and most approach types. In response to maternal approaches requiring a response, they exhibited more non-engagement or ignoring behaviors. Thus, regulatory-disordered infants did not always respond according to Schneirla's theory of approach and withdrawal (1957), which holds that we withdraw from high-level stimulation and approach low-level stimulation. This study also suggests that: (1) The affective component of regulatory disorders has the greatest impact on mother-child interaction; (2) Infants born at lower birthweights are at greater risk of having regulatory disorders; and (3) The Approach-Withdrawal Interaction Coding System (Doussard-Roosevelt, Porges, & Portales, 1995) is a useful and reliable clinical measure for identifying interaction problems.

description: NQT-SHE cells derived from Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) fibroblasts transformed by 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide synthesize two modified $\alpha$2(I) subunits of type I collagen designated as N-33 and N-50 (N-collagens). The N-collagens migrate more slowly than the normal $\alpha$2(I) chain during sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) due to an abnormal post-translational modification and not to over-hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues. The modification was not characterized but it was localized in a cyanogen bromide peptide (CB3,5) derived from the C-terminal half of the $\alpha$2(I) chain and in two peptides (V8-1 and V8-2) obtained by V8 protease digestion of the modified $\alpha$2(I) chain or the CB3,5 peptide (Peterkofsky, B. and Prather, W. (1986), J. Biol. Chem., 261, 16818-16826; (1992), J. Biol. Chem., 267, 5388-5395). The present experiments showed by isoelectric focusing that the modification was acidic and treatment of the N33$\alpha$ and N50$\alpha$ chains with linkage-specific neuraminidase showed that acidicity was due to the presence of sialic acid in an $\alpha 2\to 6$ linkage to Gal or GalNac. Treatment of the N-collagens with glycosidases identified the modification as serine or threonine linked O-glycosyl groups containing sialic acid. Removal of the O-glycosyl groups from the N-collagens caused them to migrate similarly to the normal $\alpha$2(I) chain during SDS-PAGE. The $\alpha$ chains and purified CB3,5 peptides from the N-collagens reacted with biotinylated Jacalin lectin providing additional evidence for O-glycosylation. Secretion of a pro$\alpha$2(I) monomer is unexpected since the $\lbrack\alpha 2(I)\rbrack\sb3$ homotrimer is unstable and the monomer is usually degraded intracellularly. To investigate the possibility that abnormal N-collagens are secreted and not degraded because they contain O-glycosyl groups, cells were treated with benzylGalNac which inhibits O-glycosyl chain elongation. BenzylGalNac treatment of NQT-SHE cells led to the accumulation of N33$\alpha$ and N50$\alpha$ chains containing O-GalNac but neither synthesis nor secretion was affected. The subcellular site of modification was identified by addition of monensin and brefeldin A, which block the secretory pathway. By the use of neuraminidase and O-glycanase enzyme treatment and Jacalin binding it was found that the N-collagens that accumulated intracellularly in the presence of the inhibitors contained GalNac but neither galactose nor sialic acid. These results suggest that addition of GalNac to the $\alpha$2(I) chain occurs in the cis-Golgi while galactose and sialic acid may be added in the trans-Golgi network.

The back reaction channel is treated fully consistently, exactly obeying detailed balance. The algorithm can handle, in principle, any specified initial conditions for the freed partons, the latter being on their kinetic mass shell. First full simulations with minijet initial conditions demonstrate that the inclusion of the inelastic channels leads to a very fast kinetic and chemical equilibration and also to an early creation of pressure.

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation studies the phenomenon of foreign female domestic workers (FFDW) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), within the context of the feminization of migration. It examines the impact of the migration process on the lives of the FFDW, their working conditions, and their interaction with their social and spatial surroundings. This study is based on a field work conducted in Dubai, the second largest city in the UAE. The field work consists of 51 extended interviews with the FFDW, and 34 limited interviews with their employers. The questionnaire is semi-structured and comprises open-ended questions that cover the period from the beginning of the migration journey to the FFDW's interview. The FFDW's migration journey is reported as a narrative that combines the quantitative and qualitative inquiry into research design. This inquiry was based on four aspects of the migration journey called the Four Cs. These aspects are: the composition factors of the FFDW in the sample; the causes of their migration journey; their working conditions; and finally the consequences of this trip on their lives, their situated selves, their families and children, and finally on UAE society at large.

description: This paper introduces an open-source, decentralized framework named SigmaRL, designed to enhance both sample efficiency and generalization of multi-agent Reinforcement Learning (RL) for motion planning of connected and automated vehicles. Most RL agents exhibit a limited capacity to generalize, often focusing narrowly on specific scenarios, and are usually evaluated in similar or even the same scenarios seen during training. Various methods have been proposed to address these challenges, including experience replay and regularization. However, how observation design in RL affects sample efficiency and generalization remains an under-explored area. We address this gap by proposing five strategies to design information-dense observations, focusing on general features that are applicable to most traffic scenarios. We train our RL agents using these strategies on an intersection and evaluate their generalization through numerical experiments across completely unseen traffic scenarios, including a new intersection, an on-ramp, and a roundabout. Incorporating these information-dense observations reduces training times to under one hour on a single CPU, and the evaluation results reveal that our RL agents can effectively zero-shot generalize.

description: We report on the impulsive generation of coherent optical phonons in CdTe0.68Se0.32 nanocrystallites embedded in a glass matrix. Pump probe experiments using femtosecond laser pulses were performed by tuning the laser central energy to resonate with the absorption edge of the nanocrystals. We identify two longitudinal optical phonons, one longitudinal acoustic phonon and a fourth mode of a mixed longitudinal-transverse nature. The amplitude of the optical phonons as a function of the laser central energy exhibits a resonance that is well described by a model based on impulsive stimulated Raman scattering. The phases of the coherent phonons reveal coupling between different modes. At low power density excitations, the frequency of the optical coherent phonons deviates from values obtained from spontaneous Raman scattering. This behavior is ascribed to the presence of electronic impurity states which modify the nanocrystal dielectric function and, thereby, the frequency of the infrared-active phonons.

description: A recently proposed curvature renormalization group scheme for topological phase transitions defines a generic `curvature function' as a function of the parameters of the theory and shows that topological phase transitions are signalled by the divergence of this function at certain parameters values, called critical points, in analogy with usual phase transitions. A renormalization group procedure was also introduced as a way of flowing away from the critical point towards a fixed point, where an appropriately defined correlation function goes to zero and topological quantum numbers characterising the phase are easy to compute. In this paper, using two independent models - a model in the AIII symmetry class and a model in the BDI symmetry class - in one dimension as examples, we show that there are cases where the fixed point curve and the critical point curve appear to intersect, which turn out to be multi-critical points, and focus on understanding its implications.

description: The aqueous solubility of water-insoluble materials can be increased by adding a third component, a surfactant. This phenomenon of solubilization is directly related to one important property of the surfactant, i.e., the primary molecules of the surfactant aggregate spontaneously to form micelles in the system. The present work was undertaken to study the solubilization of two homologous series of ten high fatty esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid and p-dimethylamino benzoic acid, which have structures similar to the active ingredients in sunscreen formulations, in several surfactant systems. The measurement of the maximum absorbance of ultraviolet (UV) radiation by the esters in the surfactant systems has been used to determine the extent of solubilization. The effect of surfactant structures and mixed surfactant systems on the extent of solubilization of the esters has been investigated. The finding of preferential solubility of dodecyl esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid and p-dimethylamino benzoic acid in the dodecyl surfactant systems by Hochberg was further confirmed by this research. Similar preferential solubility was also observed for the tetradecyl esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid and p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid in most tetradecyl surfactant systems selected for this research. The counterions on the polar heads of the tetradecyltrimethyl ammonium salts did not change the preferential solubility of the tetradecyl esters among the esters in the two homogenous series. Similar solubilization tendency curves were obtained in the same chain length surfactant systems for the two homologous series of esters, but the solubilization results were unexpectedly changed in the mixed binary homologous dodecyl and tetradecyl sulfate systems. The results suggest that the chain length of surfactants is the major factor to affect the process of solubilization of the long chain esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid and p-dimethyl aminobenzoic acid.

description: The maximally symmetric D-branes of string theory on the non-simply connected Lie group SU(n)/Z_d are analysed using conformal field theory methods, and their charges are determined. Unlike the well understood case for simply connected groups, the charge equations do not determine the charges uniquely, and the charge group associated to these D-branes is therefore in general not cyclic. The precise structure of the charge group depends on some number theoretic properties of n, d, and the level of the underlying affine algebra k. The examples of SO(3)=SU(2)/Z_2 and SU(3)/Z_3 are worked out in detail, and the charge groups for SU(n)/Z_d at most levels k are determined explicitly.

description: Автор статьи подверг анализу перспективы и проблемы эволюции института судопроизводства с участием присяжных заседателей в российском праве в свете ретроспективного проблемно-функционального исследования, выявил наиболее перспективные с точки зрения определения направления новеллизации института проблемы. Отдельное внимание автор уделяет социально-психологическому портрету присяжного заседателя, соотношению структуры его личности и задач, стоящих перед ним, влиянию, которое оказывает цифровая трансформация социума на соблюдение принципа вынесения вердикта при строгом запрете влияния на позицию присяжного заседателя, что позволило определить актуальные задачи совершенствования института судопроизводства с участием присяжных заседателей. Кроме того, обсуждается вопрос о достаточности цензового обеспечения качества правосудия с участием присяжных. Как актуальная обозначена задача соотнесения социальной роли коллегии присяжных и реализуемой ею социальной функции. Синхронное сравнение специфики модели судопроизводства с участием «народного элемента» в странах общего и континентального права позволило автору обозначить проблему определения степени корреляции исторической традиции, специфики социально-политической роли суда присяжных и функции, которую он должен реализовать в современном социуме, обеспечивая реализацию принципа справедливости.

description: Sagnac interferometry has been employed in the context of gravity as a proposal for the detection of the so called gravitomagnetic effect. In the present work we explore the possibilities that this experimental device could open up in the realm of non--Newtonian gravity. It will be shown that this experimental approach allows us to explore an interval of values of the range of the new force that up to now remains unexplored, namely, $λ\geq 10^{14}$ m.

A study of the solubilization of p-methoxycinnamic acid and p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid esters in long-chain surfactant systems
Creators: name: Sui, Manshi
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The aqueous solubility of water-insoluble materials can be increased by adding a third component, a surfactant. This phenomenon of solubilization is directly related to one important property of the surfactant, i.e., the primary molecules of the surfactant aggregate spontaneously to form micelles in the system. The present work was undertaken to study the solubilization of two homologous series of ten high fatty esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid and p-dimethylamino benzoic acid, which have structures similar to the active ingredients in sunscreen formulations, in several surfactant systems. The measurement of the maximum absorbance of ultraviolet (UV) radiation by the esters in the surfactant systems has been used to determine the extent of solubilization. The effect of surfactant structures and mixed surfactant systems on the extent of solubilization of the esters has been investigated. The finding of preferential solubility of dodecyl esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid and p-dimethylamino benzoic acid in the dodecyl surfactant systems by Hochberg was further confirmed by this research. Similar preferential solubility was also observed for the tetradecyl esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid and p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid in most tetradecyl surfactant systems selected for this research. The counterions on the polar heads of the tetradecyltrimethyl ammonium salts did not change the preferential solubility of the tetradecyl esters among the esters in the two homogenous series. Similar solubilization tendency curves were obtained in the same chain length surfactant systems for the two homologous series of esters, but the solubilization results were unexpectedly changed in the mixed binary homologous dodecyl and tetradecyl sulfate systems. The results suggest that the chain length of surfactants is the major factor to affect the process of solubilization of the long chain esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid and p-dimethyl aminobenzoic acid.
$SO(5)$ Landau Models and Nested Nambu Matrix Geometry

description: The $SO(5)$ Landau model is the mathematical platform of the 4D quantum Hall effect and provide a rare opportunity for a physical realization of the fuzzy four-sphere. We present an integrated analysis of the $SO(5)$ Landau models and the associated matrix geometries through the Landau level projection. With the $SO(5)$ monopole harmonics, we explicitly derive matrix geometry of a four-sphere in any Landau level: In the lowest Landau level the matrix coordinates are given by the generalized $SO(5)$ gamma matrices of the fuzzy four-sphere satisfying the quantum Nambu algebra, while in higher Landau levels the matrix geometry becomes a nested fuzzy structure realizing a pure quantum geometry with no counterpart in classical geometry. The internal fuzzy geometry structure is discussed in the view of an $SO(4)$ Pauli-Schrödinger model and the $SO(4)$ Landau model, where we unveil a hidden singular gauge transformation between their background non-Abelian field configurations. Relativistic versions of the $SO(5)$ Landau model are also investigated and relationship to the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization is clarified. We finally discuss the matrix geometry of the Landau models in even higher dimensions.

description: This study investigates the effect of lending policies on the financial performance of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. The study explores the effects of central bank policies, deposit sizes, decision-making levels, guarantees, interest rates, and control mechanisms on DMBs' financial outcomes. Drawing from a conceptual framework that highlights the intricate relationship between lending policies, regulatory guidelines, economic factors, and risk management, the study employs a non-probabilistic Quota sampling technique to gather data from 130 Credit Officers across thirteen DMBs listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Using both primary (questionnaires) and secondary data sources, the study employs statistical analyses, including multiple and simple linear regression, to evaluate the hypothesis-driven relationships. Findings reveal significant correlations among policy variables, with nuanced impacts on financial performance. While overall lending policies demonstrate a substantial influence, individual variables such as supervision, decision-making in loan granting, and deposit volume exhibit pronounced effects, leading to recommendations for DMBs to develop efficient lending policies, enhance decision-making processes, utilize technology for credit management, and establish robust control mechanisms.
Resource Rents and their Impact on Institutional and Economic Development

description: Over the twentieth century Canada’s energy, forestry, and mining industries played a substantial and increasing role in the growth and development of the aggregate economy. Despite the improving fundamentals that were underlying their increased contributions to the size, capital intensity, and productivity of the aggregate economy, the relative profitability and equity market performance of the resource industries deteriorated over the twentieth century. Without having to invoke entrepreneurial failure among the resource industries or equity market inefficiency, I am able to illustrate that falling relative output prices played the key role in a reconciliation of what, at first glace, appears to be a surprising relationship between the resource industries’ fundamentals, resource rents, and equity market performance.

description: Dynamic Euler equations restrict multivariate forecasts. Thus a range of links between macroeconomic variables can be studied by seeing whether they hold within the multivariate predictions of professional forecasters. We illustrate this novel way of testing theory by studying the links between forecasts of U.S. nominal interest rates, inflation, and real consumption growth since 1981. By using forecast data for both returns and macroeconomic fundamentals, we use the complete cross-section of forecasts, rather than the median. The Survey of Professional Forecasters yields a three-dimensional panel, across quarters, forecasters, and forecast horizons. This approach yields 14727 observations, much greater than the 107 time series observations. The resulting precision reveals a significant, negative relationship between consumption growth and interest rates.
Good Americans: The Peekskill riots of 1949
Creators: name: Walwik, Joseph Allan
Publisher: name: American University

description: In the late summer of 1949 national attention was riveted on the small town of Peekskill, New York, after two Paul Robeson concerts were marred by violent clashes between local veterans and other residents opposed to Robeson's presence. It was not Robeson's race or artistic career that upset the townspeople, but his politics. Robeson was known as a Communist sympathizer and the concerts, designated benefits for the Civil Rights Congress, were further stigmatized when the United States Attorney General branded the CRC a "subversive" organization. The violent confrontation between groups revealed the still unresolved conflict between contending visions of the American nation and the responsibilities and rights of "good Americans". Research on the Peekskill Riots revealed that the fundamental historical problem lay not in recreating the events of 1949, but in understanding how participants interpreted the political challenge of the moment. Traditional historical methodology with its emphasis on factual findings and dispassionate evaluation sheds little light on the distinct views of the participants. Concertgoers and protesters alike viewed their actions through ideological prisms that were not merely political frameworks of communist or capitalist theory, but shared constellations of values, meanings and life experiences central to individual and communal identity. Tracing these different "points of view" acknowledges the coexistence separate and equally valid narratives. Both concertgoers and protesters considered themselves to be "good Americans" defending their rights during a moment of crisis in American history. This dissertation fills an important gap in American historiography for providing the first recounting of the riots from the perspective of the town, although it proposes more than a community study in conclusion. The only other accounts of the riots (scholarly or popular) are constructed solely from the perspective of the concertgoers who perceived the violence as unwarranted, antisemitic and racially motivated. Although the violence was indeed tragic, this should not challenge the reality of Peekskill's fear of communist infiltration. In fact, given the pervasive culture of anticommunism which prevailed in the United States in 1949, the town's attitude is both understandable and typical of the era.

description: Теоретико-методологическая актуальность данной статьи состоит в необходимости совершенствования гносеологических основ и научно-исследовательского аппарата теории и методики такого социального явления как системы предупреждения безнадзорности несовершеннолетних через реализацию социального проекта в деятельности специализированных социально-реабилитационных учреждений. В статье рассматриваются некоторые проблемы безнадзорности, которые выражаются в отчуждении детей от семьи, детского коллектива и одновременно в безразличии к ним родителей и воспитателей. В результате у несовершеннолетних появляются негативные и антиобщественные привычки и интересы, формируются отклоняющееся поведение, трудновоспитуемость, педагогическая запущенность. Отмечается, что реализация проектов создаст условия для внедрения новых технологий поддержки и профилактики семейного неблагополучия. Авторами определены теоретико-методологические основы социального сопровождения реабилитации детей, попавших в трудную жизненную ситуацию, как особой сферы деятельности специализированных социальных учреждений, обеспечивающей последовательное прохождение несовершеннолетними основных этапов социализации (адаптация, индивидуализация, интеграция) на основе использования концептуальной модели предупреждения социального сиротства в рамках реализации основных ориентиров государственной семейной политики.
