Stepfather Involvement and Stepfather-Child Relationship Quality: Race and Parental Marital Status as Moderators
Creators: name: Jensen, Todd M.
name: Pace, Garrett T.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Stepparent-child relationship quality is linked to stepfamily stability and children’s well-being. Yet, the literature offers an incomplete understanding of factors that promote high quality stepparent-child relationships, especially among socio-demographically diverse stepfamilies. In this study we explore the association between stepfather involvement and stepfather-child relationship quality among a racially diverse and predominately low-income sample of stepfamilies with pre-adolescent children. Using a subsample of 467 mother-stepfather families from year 9 of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, results indicate that stepfather involvement is positively associated with stepfather-child relationship quality. This association is statistically indistinguishable across racial groups, although the association is stronger among children in cohabiting stepfamilies compared to children in married stepfamilies.

Equilibrium points and their linear stability in the planar equilateral restricted four-body problem: A review and new results

description: In this work, we revisit the planar restricted four-body problem to study the dynamics of an infinitesimal mass under the gravitational force produced by three heavy bodies with unequal masses, forming an equilateral triangle configuration. We unify known results about the existence and linear stability of equilibrium points of this problem which have been obtained earlier, either as relative equilibria or a central configuration of the planar restricted $(3 + 1)$-body problem. It is the first attempt in this direction. A systematic numerical investigation is performed to obtain the resonance curves in the mass space. We use these curves to answer the question about the existing boundary between the domains of linear stability and instability. The characterization of the total number of stable points found inside the stability domain is discussed.

description: Rare event search experiments using liquid xenon as target and detection medium require ultra-low background levels to fully exploit their physics potential. Cosmic ray induced activation of the detector components and, even more importantly, of the xenon itself during production, transportation and storage at the Earth's surface, might result in the production of radioactive isotopes with long half-lives, with a possible impact on the expected background. We present the first dedicated study on the cosmogenic activation of xenon after 345 days of exposure to cosmic rays at the Jungfraujoch research station at 3470m above sea level, complemented by a study of copper which has been activated simultaneously. We have directly observed the production of 7Be, 101Rh, 125Sb, 126I and 127Xe in xenon, out of which only 125Sb could potentially lead to background for a multi-ton scale dark matter search. The production rates for five out of eight studied radioactive isotopes in copper are in agreement with the only existing dedicated activation measurement, while we observe lower rates for the remaining ones. The specific saturation activities for both samples are also compared to predictions obtained with commonly used software packages, where we observe some underpredictions, especially for xenon activation.

description: We construct condensate states encoding the continuum spherically symmetric quantum geometry of an horizon in full quantum gravity, i.e. without any classical symmetry reduction, in the group field theory formalism. Tracing over the bulk degrees of freedom, we show how the resulting reduced density matrix manifestly exhibits an holographic behavior. We derive a complete orthonormal basis of eigenstates for the reduced density matrix of the horizon and use it to compute the horizon entanglement entropy. By imposing consistency with the horizon boundary conditions and semiclassical thermodynamical properties, we recover the Bekenstein--Hawking entropy formula for any value of the Immirzi parameter. Our analysis supports the equivalence between the von Neumann (entanglement) entropy interpretation and the Boltzmann (statistical) one.

Non-linear Hypothesis Testing of Geometric Object Properties of Shapes Applied to Hippocampi

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: This paper presents a novel method to test mean differences of geometric object properties (GOPs). The method is designed for data whose representations include both Euclidean and non-Euclidean elements. It is based on advanced statistical analysis methods such as backward means on spheres. We develop a suitable permutation test to find global and simultaneously individual morphological differences between two populations based on the GOPs. To demonstrate the sensitivity of the method, an analysis exploring differences between hippocampi of first-episode schizophrenics and controls is presented. Each hippocampus is represented by a discrete skeletal representation (s-rep). We investigate important model properties using the statistics of populations. These properties are highlighted by the s-rep model that allows accurate capture of the object interior and boundary while, by design, being suitable for statistical analysis of populations of objects. By supporting non-Euclidean GOPs such as direction vectors, the proposed hypothesis test is novel in the study of morphological shape differences. Suitable difference measures are proposed for each GOP. Both global and simultaneous GOP analyses showed statistically significant differences between the first-episode schizophrenics and controls.

description: The Casimir and electromagnetic interactions between objects at short separations are strongly influenced by the local geometry near the point of closest approach. In this paper we demonstrate that the assumptions underlying common statistical analysis of roughness may not hold in experiments using micro-spheres as interacting objects. Based on an extensive experimental and numerical analysis of the surface topology of the widely used colloidal particle types 4310A and 4320A, we show that the actual variation in the local surface curvature may give rise to large uncertainties in the comparison of experimental data to theories.

description: Any injection of electromagnetically interacting particles during the cosmic dark ages will lead to increased ionization, heating, production of Lyman-alpha photons and distortions to the energy spectrum of the cosmic microwave background, with potentially observable consequences. In this note we describe numerical results for the low-energy electrons and photons produced by the cooling of particles injected at energies from keV to multi-TeV scales, at arbitrary injection redshifts (but focusing on the post-recombination epoch). We use these data, combined with existing calculations modeling the cooling of these low-energy particles, to estimate the resulting contributions to ionization, excitation and heating of the gas, and production of low-energy photons below the threshold for excitation and ionization. We compute corrected deposition-efficiency curves for annihilating dark matter, and demonstrate how to compute equivalent curves for arbitrary energy-injection histories. These calculations provide the necessary inputs for the limits on dark matter annihilation presented in the accompanying Paper I, but also have potential applications in the context of dark matter decay or de-excitation, decay of other metastable species, or similar energy injections from new physics. We make our full results publicly available at http://nebel.rc.fas.harvard.edu/epsilon, to facilitate further independent studies. In particular, we provide the full low-energy electron and photon spectra, to allow matching onto more detailed codes that describe the cooling of such particles at low energies.

description: A prerequisite for laser cooling a molecular anion, which has not been achieved so far, is the precise knowledge of the relevant transition frequencies in the cooling scheme. To determine these frequencies we present a versatile method that uses one pump and one photodetachment light beam. We apply this approach to C$_{2}^{-}$ and study the laser cooling transitions between the electronic ground state and the second electronic excited state in their respective vibrational ground levels, $B ^{2} Σ_{u} ^{+}(v=0) \leftarrow X ^{2} Σ_{g} ^{+}(v=0) $. Measurements of the R(0), R(2), and P(2) transitions are presented, which determine the transition frequencies with a wavemeter-based accuracy of $0.7\times10^{-3}$ cm$^{-1}$ or 20 MHz. The spin-rotation splitting is resolved, which allows for a more precise determination of the splitting constants to $γ' = 7.15(19)\times10^{-3}$ cm$^{-1}$ and $γ'' = 4.10(27)\times10^{-3}$ cm$^{-1}$. These results are used to characterize the ions in the cryogenic 16-pole wire trap employed in this experiment. The translational and rotational temperature of the ions cooled by helium buffer gas are derived from the Doppler widths and the amplitude ratios of the measured transitions. The results support the common observation that the translational temperature is higher than the buffer gas temperature due to collisional heating under micromotion, in particular at low temperatures. Additionally, a rotational temperature significantly lower than the translational is measured, which agrees with the notion that the mass weighted collision temperature of the C$_{2}^{-}$-He system defines the internal rotational state population.

description: In studying the interstellar medium (ISM) and Galactic cosmic rays (CRs), uncertainty of the interstellar gas density has always been an issue. To overcome this difficulty, we used a component decomposition of the 21-cm HI line emission and used the resulting gas maps in an analysis of $γ$-ray data obtained by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) for the MBM~53, 54, and 55 molecular clouds and the Pegasus loop. We decomposed the ISM gas into intermediate-velocity clouds, narrow-line and optically thick HI, broad-line and optically thin HI, CO-bright H2, and CO-dark H2 using detailed correlations with the HI line profiles from the HI4PI survey, the Planck dust-emission model, and the Fermi-LAT $γ$-ray data. We found the fractions of optical depth correction to the HI column density and CO-dark H2 to be nearly equal. We fitted the CR spectra directly measured at/near the Earth and the measured $γ$-ray emissivity spectrum simultaneously. We obtained a spectral break in the interstellar proton spectrum at ${\sim}$7~GeV, and found the $γ$-ray emissivity normalization agrees with the AMS-02 proton spectrum within 10\%, relaxing the tension with the CR spectra previously claimed.

description: This paper proposes a gaze correction and animation method for high-resolution, unconstrained portrait images, which can be trained without the gaze angle and the head pose annotations. Common gaze-correction methods usually require annotating training data with precise gaze, and head pose information. Solving this problem using an unsupervised method remains an open problem, especially for high-resolution face images in the wild, which are not easy to annotate with gaze and head pose labels. To address this issue, we first create two new portrait datasets: CelebGaze and high-resolution CelebHQGaze. Second, we formulate the gaze correction task as an image inpainting problem, addressed using a Gaze Correction Module (GCM) and a Gaze Animation Module (GAM). Moreover, we propose an unsupervised training strategy, i.e., Synthesis-As-Training, to learn the correlation between the eye region features and the gaze angle. As a result, we can use the learned latent space for gaze animation with semantic interpolation in this space. Moreover, to alleviate both the memory and the computational costs in the training and the inference stage, we propose a Coarse-to-Fine Module (CFM) integrated with GCM and GAM. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of our method for both the gaze correction and the gaze animation tasks in both low and high-resolution face datasets in the wild and demonstrate the superiority of our method with respect to the state of the arts.

description: Superbubbles and supershells are the channels for transferring mass and energy from the Galactic disk to the halo. Magnetic fields are believed to play a vital role in their evolution. We study the radio continuum and polarized emission properties of the W4 superbubble to determine its magnetic field strength. New sensitive radio continuum observations were made at 6 cm, 11 cm, and 21 cm. The total intensity measurements were used to derive the radio spectrum of the W4 superbubble. The linear polarization data were analysed to determine the magnetic field properties within the bubble shells. The observations show a multi-shell structure of the W4 superbubble. A flat radio continuum spectrum that stems from optically thin thermal emission is derived from 1.4 GHz to 4.8 GHz. By fitting a passive Faraday screen model and considering the filling factor fne , we obtain the thermal electron density ne = 1.0/\sqrt{fne} (\pm5%) cm^-3 and the strength of the line-of-sight component of the magnetic field B// = -5.0/\sqrt{fne} (\pm10%) μG (i.e. pointing away from us) within the western shell of the W4 superbubble. When the known tilted geometry of the W4 superbubble is considered, the total magnetic field Btot in its western shell is greater than 12 μG. The electron density and the magnetic field are lower and weaker in the high-latitude parts of the superbubble. The rotation measure is found to be positive in the eastern shell but negative in the western shell of the W4 superbubble, which is consistent with the case that the magnetic field in the Perseus arm is lifted up from the plane towards high latitudes. The magnetic field strength and the electron density we derived for the W4 superbubble are important parameters for evolution models of superbubbles breaking out of the Galactic plane.

description: The $e^+e^-\to ωη$ and $e^+e^-\toωπ^0π^0$ processes are ideal platforms to search for higher $ω$ states. Focusing on the observations of two enhancement structures around 2.2 GeV existing in $e^+e^-\to ωη$ and $e^+e^-\toωπ^0π^0$ at BESIII, we analyze how the $ω(4S)$ and $ω(3D)$ states play the role in the $e^+e^-\to ωη$ and $e^+e^-\toωπ^0π^0$ processes. The present study is supported by theoretical $ω$ mesonic spectroscopy. For reproducing the data of the cross sections of $e^+e^-\toωη$ and $ωπ^0π^0$, the intermediate $ω(4S)$ and $ω(3D)$ should be introduced, which indicates that the enhancement structures around 2.2 GeV existing in $e^+e^-\toωη$ and $ωπ^0π^0$ contain the $ω(4S)$ and $ω(3D)$ signals. Nonetheless, in the process $e^+e^-\toωη$, the $ω(4S)$ plays a dominant role, while the $ω(4S)$ and $ω(3D)$ have similar sizable contributions in the process of $e^+e^-\toωπ^0π^0$, which leads to a difference in the line shape of enhancement structure in the cross sections under the interference effect. Thus, we find a solution to alleviate the puzzling difference of resonance parameter of two reported enhancement structures around 2.2 GeV existing in $e^+e^-\to ωη$ and $e^+e^-\toωπ^0π^0$ at BESIII. The present study provides valuable information to construct $ω$ meson family, which can be accessible at future experiment like BESIII.

description: The effects of electric field polarizations on pair production from a vacuum are investigated numerically by employing the real-time Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner formalism. For few-cycle fields, it is found that the interference pattern in momentum spectra is absent and the circular distortion of momentum distribution becomes more apparent with the increase of polarization. For multi-cycle fields, it is found that the interference effects in momentum spectra are obvious. And as the polarization increases, the momentum distribution is split into two parts in the momentum $q_y$ direction first and then two separated parts are connected into a ring. The effects of polarizations on the number density of created particles exhibits two different characteristics. For a small laser frequency, the particle number density deceases with the polarization, while for a large laser frequency, the relation between them is sensitive to the field frequency nonlinearly. Some interpretations for the obtained results in this study, which is expected to be valuable to deepen the understanding of pair production in complex fields and also helpful for the study associated to strong-field ionization.

Penile transplantation as an appropriate response to botched traditional circumcisions in South Africa: an argument against

description: Traditional male circumcision is a deeply entrenched cultural practice in South Africa. In recent times, there have been increasing numbers of botched circumcisions by untrained and unscrupulous practitioners, leading to genital mutilation and often, the need for penile amputation. Hailed as a world’s first, a team of surgeons conducted the first successful penile transplant in Cape Town, South Africa in 2015. Despite the euphoria of this surgical victory, concerns about the use of this costly intervention in a context of severe resource constraints have been raised. In this paper, we explore some of the ethical implications of penile transplants as a clinical and public health response to the adverse consequences of traditional male circumcision. Given the current fiscal deficits in healthcare and public health sectors, how can one justify costly, high-technology interventions for conditions affecting a small section of the population? Since botched traditional male circumcisions are preventable, is a focus on penile transplantation as a form of treatment reasonable? Finally, do such interventions create undue expectations and false hope among a highly vulnerable and stigmatised group of young men? In this paper, we argue that given limited healthcare resources in South Africa and competing healthcare needs, prevention is a more appropriate response to botched traditional circumcisions than penile transplants.

This campaign combines long time spans with relatively high cadence. For 8 objects, both the time lags obtained from the entire light curves and the measurements from individual observing seasons are provided. Reverberation mapping of 9 of our targets has been attempted for the first time, while the results for 6 others can be compared with previous campaigns. We measure the H$β$ time lags over periods of years and estimate their black hole masses. The long duration of the campaign enables us to investigate their broad line region (BLR) geometry and kinematics for different years by using velocity-resolved lags, which demonstrate signatures of diverse BLR geometry and kinematics. The BLR geometry and kinematics of individual objects are discussed. In this sample, the BLR kinematics of Keplerian/virialized motion and inflow is more common than outflow.

description: In this paper we derive a new energy identity for the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations by a special structure of helicity. The new energy functional is critical with respect to the natural scalings of the Navier-Stokes equations. Moreover, it is conditionally coercive. As an application we construct a family of finite energy smooth solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations whose critical norms can be arbitrarily large.

description: We present a broadband X-ray study of W50 (`the Manatee nebula'), the complex region powered by the microquasar SS 433, that provides a test-bed for several important astrophysical processes. The W50 nebula, a Galactic PeVatron candidate, is classified as a supernova remnant but has an unusual double-lobed morphology likely associated with the jets from SS 433. Using NuSTAR, XMM-Newton, and Chandra observations of the inner eastern lobe of W50, we have detected hard non-thermal X-ray emission up to $\sim$30 keV, originating from a few-arcminute size knotty region (`Head') located $\lesssim$ 18$^{\prime}$ (29 pc for a distance of 5.5 kpc) east of SS 433, and constrain its photon index to 1.58$\pm$0.05 (0.5-30 keV band). The index gradually steepens eastward out to the radio `ear' where thermal soft X-ray emission with a temperature $kT$$\sim$0.2 keV dominates. The hard X-ray knots mark the location of acceleration sites within the jet and require an equipartition magnetic field of the order of $\gtrsim$12$μ$G. The unusually hard spectral index from the `Head' region challenges classical particle acceleration processes and points to particle injection and re-acceleration in the sub-relativistic SS 433 jet, as seen in blazars and pulsar wind nebulae.

description: So far, more than 170 loci have been associated with circulating lipid levels through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). These associations are largely driven by common variants, their function is often not known, and many are likely to be markers for the causal variants. In this study we aimed to identify more new rare and low-frequency functional variants associated with circulating lipid levels.
Indirect Dark Matter Signatures in the Cosmic Dark Ages I. Generalizing the Bound on s-wave Dark Matter Annihilation from Planck

description: Recent measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies by Planck provide a sensitive probe of dark matter annihilation during the cosmic dark ages, and specifically constrain the annihilation parameter $f_\mathrm{eff} \langle σv \rangle/m_χ$. Using new results (Paper II) for the ionization produced by particles injected at arbitrary energies, we calculate and provide $f_\mathrm{eff}$ values for photons and $e^+e^-$ pairs injected at keV-TeV energies; the $f_\mathrm{eff}$ value for any dark matter model can be obtained straightforwardly by weighting these results by the spectrum of annihilation products. This result allows the sensitive and robust constraints on dark matter annihilation presented by the Planck Collaboration to be applied to arbitrary dark matter models with $s$-wave annihilation. We demonstrate the validity of this approach using principal component analysis. As an example, we integrate over the spectrum of annihilation products for a range of Standard Model final states to determine the CMB bounds on these models as a function of dark matter mass, and demonstrate that the new limits generically exclude models proposed to explain the observed high-energy rise in the cosmic ray positron fraction. We make our results publicly available at http://nebel.rc.fas.harvard.edu/epsilon.

Running coupling in SU(2) gauge theory with two adjoint fermions

description: We study SU(2) gauge theory with two Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation of the gauge group on the lattice. Using clover improved Wilson fermion action with hypercubic truncated stout smearing we perform simulations at larger coupling than earlier. We measure the evolution of the coupling constant using the step scaling method with Schrödinger functional and study the remaining discretization effects. At weak coupling we observe significant discretization effects, which make it difficult to obtain a fully controlled continuum limit. Nevertheless, the data remains consistent with the existence of a fixed point in the interval $2.2\lesssim g^{\ast 2}\lesssim 3$. We also measure the anomalous dimension and find its value at the fixed point is $γ^\ast\simeq 0.2\pm 0.03$.

description: Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a prospective solution that facilitates the training of a high-performing centralised model without compromising the privacy of users. While successful, research is currently limited by the possibility of establishing a realistic large-scale FL system at the early stages of experimentation. Simulation can help accelerate this process. To facilitate efficient scalable FL simulation of heterogeneous clients, we design and implement Protea, a flexible and lightweight client profiling component within federated systems using the FL framework Flower. It allows automatically collecting system-level statistics and estimating the resources needed for each client, thus running the simulation in a resource-aware fashion. The results show that our design successfully increases parallelism for 1.66 $\times$ faster wall-clock time and 2.6$\times$ better GPU utilisation, which enables large-scale experiments on heterogeneous clients.

description: Pump-probe microscopy of melanin in tumors has been proposed to improve diagnosis of malignant melanoma, based on the hypothesis that aggressive cancers disaggregate melanin structure. However, measured signals of melanin are complex superpositions of multiple nonlinear processes, which makes interpretation challenging. Polarization control during measurement and data fitting is used to decompose signals of melanin into their underlying molecular mechanisms. We then identify the molecular mechanisms that are most susceptible to melanin disaggregation and derive false-coloring schemes to highlight these processes in biological tissue. We exemplary demonstrate that false-colored images of a small set of melanoma tumors correlate with clinical concern. More generally, our systematic approach of decomposing pump-probe signals can be applied to a multitude of different samples.
