description: We investigate the accuracy of 4000Å/Balmer-break based redshifts by combining Hubble Space Telescope ({\it HST}) grism data with photometry. The grism spectra are from the Probing Evolution And Reionization Spectroscopically (PEARS) survey with {\it HST} using the G800L grism on the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). The photometric data come from a compilation by the 3D-HST collaboration of imaging from multiple surveys (notably CANDELS and 3D-HST). We show evidence that spectrophotometric redshifts (SPZs) typically improve the accuracy of photometric redshifts by $\sim$17--60\%. Our SPZ method is a template fitting based routine which accounts for correlated data between neighboring points within grism spectra via the covariance matrix formalism and also accounts for galaxy morphology along the dispersion direction. We show that the robustness of the SPZ is directly related to the fidelity of the D4000 measurement. We also estimate the accuracy of continuum-based redshifts, i.e., for galaxies that do not contain strong emission lines, based on the grism data alone ($σ^{\rm NMAD}_{Δz/(1+z)}{\lesssim}0.06$). Given that future space-based observatories like WFIRST and Euclid will spend a significant fraction of time on slitless spectroscopic observations, we estimate number densities for objects with $\ | \mathrm{Δz/(1+z_{s})} \ | \leq 0.02$. We predict $\sim$700--4400 galaxies/degree$^2$ for galaxies with D4000$>$1.1 and $\ | \mathrm{Δz/(1+z_{s})} \ | \leq 0.02$ to a limiting depth of $i_{AB}$=24 mag. This is \emph{especially} important in the absence of an accompanying rich photometric dataset like the existing one for the CANDELS fields, where redshift accuracy from future surveys will rely only on the presence of a feature like the 4000Å/Balmer breaks or the presence of emission lines within the grism spectra.

description: It has been recently claimed that dark matter could be in the form of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in order to explain the dynamics at large distances from the galactic center [Boehmer, Harko, JCAP {\bf 0706}, 025 (2007)]. In this paper we explore the possibility of wormhole formation in galactic halos due to the dark matter BEC. In particular we have found a new wormhole solution supported by BEC dark matter using the expressions for the density profile of the BEC and rotation velocity along with the Einstein field equations to calculate the wormhole red shift function as well as the shape function. To this end, we show that for a specific choose of the central density of the condensates our wormhole solution satisfies the flare our condition. Furthermore we check the null, weak, and strong condition at the wormhole throat with a radius $r_0$, and shown that in general the energy condition are violated by some arbitrary quantity at the wormhole throat. Using the volume integral quantifier, and choosing reasonable values of parameters we have calculate the amount of BEC exotic matter near the wormhole throat, such that the wormhole extends form $r_0$ to a a cut off radius situated at $`a'$. Moreover we have introduced a Kerr-like metric for a rotating BEC wormhole to study the effect of BEC dark matter on the Lense-Thirring precession frequencies. Namely, we have shown that the obtained precession frequencies lie within a range of typical quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs).

description: We have performed a systematic first-principles computational study of the effects of impurity atoms (boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, phosporus, and sulfur) on the orbital hybridization and bonding properties in the intermetallic alloy NiAl using a full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method. The matrix elements in momentum space were used to calculate real-space properties: onsite parameters, partial densities of states, and local charges. In impurity atoms that are empirically known to be embrittler (N and O) we found that the 2s orbital is bound to the impurity and therefore does not participate in the covalent bonding. In contrast, the corresponding 2s orbital is found to be delocalized in the cohesion enhancers (B and C). Each of these impurity atoms is found to acquire a net negative local charge in NiAl irrespective of whether they sit in the Ni or Al site. The embrittler therefore reduces the total number of electrons available for covalent bonding by removing some of the electrons from the neighboring Ni or Al atoms and localizing them at the impurity site. We show that these correlations also hold for silicon, phosporus, and sulfur.

description: The Government of India launched the National Higher Education Mission (NHEM) in 2013 to address concerns of severe funding shortages, poor governance structures, and weak quality assurance mechanisms in the country’s public state universities. NHEM provided funding incentives to states conditional on the implementation of multiple reforms in the university systems. This study answers important questions about the policy - why and by whom was NHEM formulated, and how well have the policy’s reforms been implemented in Indian states. The study uses a theoretical framework based on Advocacy Coalition Framework and institutional theory. Using qualitative methods, this dissertation examines the policy formulation process for NHEM at the federal level and explores the implementation of NHEM reforms through case studies of four Indian states. The study finds that NHEM was developed when the federal ministry of education saw a window of opportunity to push its reform agenda. However, the policy was created in a short span of time, in a top-down manner, and with insufficient involvement of stakeholders. NHEM was created by borrowing policy problems and solutions from prior government reports and layering them on a pre-existing funding structure. The resulting policy lacked a cohesive design and theory of action. Implementation of the policy’s reforms in states has been limited. The findings of the study suggest that implementation is thwarted by four challenges; the bureaucratic higher education culture in states; the weak political will to decentralize the government’s powers; limited technical capacity; and inadequate financial resources. As a result, states have engaged in a variety of reform responses ranging from avoiding compliance, engaging in proforma implementation of reform requirements to receive federal funds; and reinterpreting reforms in ways that suit their existing cultures and structures.

description: How do children use physical and virtual tools to develop new numerical knowledge? While concrete instructional materials may support the delivery of novel information to learners, they may also over-simplify the task, unintentionally reducing learners' performance in recall and transfer tasks. This reduction in testing performance may be mitigated by embedding physical incongruencies in the design of instructional materials. The effort of resolving this incongruency can foster a richer understanding of the underlying concept. In two experiments children were trained on a computerized number line estimation task, with a novel scale (0-180), and then asked to perform a series of posttest number line estimation tasks that varied spatial features of the training number line. In experiment 1, during training with feedback, children either received a ruler depicting endpoint and quartile magnitudes (i.e., 0, 45, 90, 135, 180) that physically matched the on-screen number line (congruent ruler), a proportionally-similar ruler scaled 33% larger than the on-screen number line (incongruent ruler), or no ruler. Children were trained to criterion before proceeding to posttest. Results indicated that while children who used the congruent ruler performed well during training, their performance at posttest was less accurate than the other two conditions. On the other hand, by increasing the difficulty of the learning task, while providing relevant landmark information, children in the incongruent ruler condition produced the highest accuracy at posttest. In experiment 2, controlling for learning task duration, the incongruent ruler and congruent ruler conditions were compared directly. Posttest results confirmed an advantage for children in the more complex, incongruent ruler condition. These results are interpreted to suggest that landmarks representations are an important and accessible means of developing a mature numerical representation of the number line. Furthermore, the results confirm that desirable difficulties are an essential component of the learning process. Potential implications for the design of learning activities that balance instructional support with conceptual challenge are discussed.

description: We give a review of some recent work on generalization of the Bethe ansatz in the case of $2+1$-dimensional models of quantum field theory. As such a model, we consider one associated with the tetrahedron equation, i.e. the $2+1$-dimensional generalization of the famous Yang--Baxter equation. We construct some eigenstates of the transfer matrix of that model. There arise, together with states composed of point-like particles analogous to those in the usual $1+1$-dimensional Bethe ansatz, new string-like states and string-particle hybrids.

description: We present a method for planning robust grasps over uncertain shape completed objects. For shape completion, a deep neural network is trained to take a partial view of the object as input and outputs the completed shape as a voxel grid. The key part of the network is dropout layers which are enabled not only during training but also at run-time to generate a set of shape samples representing the shape uncertainty through Monte Carlo sampling. Given the set of shape completed objects, we generate grasp candidates on the mean object shape but evaluate them based on their joint performance in terms of analytical grasp metrics on all the shape candidates. We experimentally validate and benchmark our method against another state-of-the-art method with a Barrett hand on 90000 grasps in simulation and 200 grasps on a real Franka Emika Panda. All experimental results show statistically significant improvements both in terms of grasp quality metrics and grasp success rate, demonstrating that planning shape-uncertainty-aware grasps brings significant advantages over solely planning on a single shape estimate, especially when dealing with complex or unknown objects.

description: We derive analytical expressions for the reactivity of a Single-File System with fast diffusion and adsorption and desorption at one end. If the conversion reaction is fast, then the reactivity depends only very weakly on the system size, and the conversion is about 100%. If the reaction is slow, then the reactivity becomes proportional to the system size, the loading, and the reaction rate constant. If the system size increases the reactivity goes to the geometric mean of the reaction rate constant and the rate of adsorption and desorption. For large systems the number of nonconverted particles decreases exponentially with distance from the adsorption/desorption end.

description: In three parts, this dissertation seeks to clarify constructs used in contemporary and emerging models of child resilience, examine the predictive capacity of these models, and delineate key steps towards improving and refining models useful to mental health and psychosocial support program and policy initiatives in humanitarian settings. Data collected for this research was part of an inter-agency evaluation of Child Friendly Spaces in Nepal following the 2015 earthquake. Findings from these studies call for future research directed towards the development of more rigorous and equitable indicators used to evaluate mental health and psychosocial support programs that allow for a longer tracing of healthy developmental trajectories for children affected by situations of extreme adversity.

description: The concept of a “soil moisture regime” or soil water regime is used worldwide to understand edaphic conditions, plant communities, and water balances. In particular, in western and northern Canada, Biogeoclimatic Ecosystem Classification (“BEC”, B.C. and Yukon) and Ecological Land Classification (“ELC”, AB and SK) use soil moisture regime as one of two primary variables in edaphic or edaptopic grids used to describe ranges of soil conditions and naturally occurring plant communities characteristics of these conditions. In most applications, soil moisture regime is a relative or unquantified parameter estimated from the presence of indicator plants, or from dichotomous keys using surficial material/soil properties observed in natural ecosystems. Applications of these estimation approaches to post-mining landforms and watersheds is challenging, because a) there are often few or no indicator plants and plant communities, and b) soils and surficial materials are reconstructed. Some quantitative approaches to estimation of properties that influence soil moisture regime (e.g., available water storage capacity) have been developed, but these are generally based on broad textural categories, and ignore the effects on water retention of all particles >2 mm. These approaches have limited utility to many post-mining materials, where the majority of particles may be >2 mm. Methods for estimating soil moisture regime on reconstructed post-mining landscapes were developed using concepts from land-capability and biogeoclimatic-ecosystem classification systems combined with new analyses of effects of particle-size distribution on soil water retention. These methods are both quantified and objective, in that they provide consistent results when applied by different users. This paper discusses methods development, application, and testing of this estimation approach.

description: We extend the analysis of black hole pair creation to include non- orientable instantons. We classify these instantons in terms of their fundamental symmetries and orientations. Many of these instantons admit the pin structure which corresponds to the fermions actually observed in nature, and so the natural objection that these manifolds do not admit spin structure may not be relevant. Furthermore, we analyse the thermodynamical properties of non-orientable black holes and find that in the non-extreme case, there are interesting modifications of the usual formulae for temperature and entropy.

description: Despite the election of a Black President and media assertions at the time heralding a “post racial” America in which racial divides no longer exist, health disparities, poverty rates, incarceration rates, discrimination and educational inequality still are a daily reality for African Americans. African Americans still have the burden of having to cope with racism making the explorations of coping strategies for African Americans dealing with racism vitally important.
      The present study explored religious orientation, spirituality, race-related stress, mental health outcomes and activism for African Americans. In particular, race -related stress was predicted to be significantly predictive of activism, such that the more one has experienced race related stressors the more likely they would be activated to engage in social justice related activities (H1).   The study predicted that higher levels of quest religious orientation and intrinsic spirituality would be related to higher levels of African American activism (H2a). It was also predicted that higher levels of religious fundamentalism would be related to lower levels of activism (H2b).  Regarding the relationship of spirituality and activism to mental health, it was predicted that quest religious orientation and intrinsic spirituality and activism would be related to greater mental health outcomes (H3a), while a fundamentalist spiritual orientation and race-related stress would be related of poorer mental health (H3b). It was also predicted that African American activism would be related to greater mental health outcomes (H4a) and that racism-related stress would be negatively related to mental health (H4b)
      The results indicated that for this sample, none of the spirituality variables (Quest Orientation, Fundamentalism Orientation, and Intrinsic Spirituality), nor the experience of racism (race-related stress), nor African American Activism, was related to mental health.  However, the variables examined were significantly related to African American Activism.  Quest Religious Orientation, Intrinsic spirituality, and race-related stress were all positively related to engagement in action for racial justice.  Fundamentalist religious orientation was negatively related to action for social justice.

description: CONTEXT Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) characterized by acute weakness, hypokalemia and hyperthyroidism is a medical emergency with a great challenge in early diagnosis since most TPP patients do not have overt symptoms. OBJECTIVE To assess artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted electrocardiography (ECG) combined with routine laboratory data in the early diagnosis of TPP. METHODS A deep learning model (DLM) based on ECG12Net, an 82-layer convolutional neural network, was constructed to detect hypokalemia and hyperthyroidism. The development cohort consisted of 39 ECGs from patients with TPP and 502 ECGs of hypokalemic control; the validation cohort consisted of 11 ECGs of TPP and 36 ECGs of non-TPP with weakness. The AI-ECG based TPP diagnostic process was then consecutively evaluated in 22 male patients with TTP-like features. RESULTS In the validation cohort, the DLM-based ECG system detected all cases of hypokalemia in TPP patients with a mean absolute error of 0.26 mEq/L and diagnosed TPP with an area under curve (AUC) of ~80%, surpassing the best standard ECG parameter (AUC=0.7285 for the QR interval). Combining the AI predictions with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum chloride (Cl-) boosted the diagnostic accuracy of the algorithm to AUC 0.986. In the prospective study, the integrated AI and routine laboratory diagnostic system had a PPV of 100% and F-measure 87.5%. CONCLUSIONS An AI-ECG system reliably identifies hypokalemia in patients with paralysis and integration with routine blood chemistries provides valuable decision support for the early diagnosis of TPP.

description: The Q-factor for lossless three-dimensional structures with two-dimensional periodicity is here derived in terms of the electric current density. The derivation in itself is shape-independent and based on the periodic free-space Green's function. The expression for Q-factor takes into account the exact shape of a periodic element, and permits beam steering. The stored energies and the radiated power, both required to evaluate Q-factor, are coordinate independent and expressed in a similar manner to the periodic Electric Field Integral equation, and can thus be rapidly calculated. Numerical investigations, performed for several antenna arrays, indicate fine agreement, accurate enough to be predictive, between the proposed Q-factor and the tuned fractional bandwidth, when the arrays are not too wideband (i.e., when $Q\geq 5$). For completeness, the input-impedance Q-factor, proposed by Yaghjian and Best in 2005, is included and agrees well numerically with the derived Q-factor expression. The main advantage of the proposed representation is its explicit connection to the current density, which allows the Q-factor to give bandwidth estimates based on the shape and current of the array element.

description: The translational Chern-Simons type three-form coframe torsion on a Riemann-Cartan spacetime is related (by differentiation) to the Nieh-Yan four-form. Following Chandia and Zanelli, two spaces with non-trivial translational Chern-Simons forms are discussed. We then demonstrate, firstly within the classical Einstein-Cartan-Dirac theory and secondly in the quantum heat kernel approach to the Dirac operator, how the Nieh-Yan form surfaces in both contexts, in contrast to what has been assumed previously.

description: The study examined the reading and character growth of elementary school students (n = 2144) in urban public charter school classrooms (n = 88), focusing on the relationship between the students’ growth and a character-focused lesson. Reading growth, as measured by in-classroom reading assessments, and character growth, as measured by self- and teacher- report surveys focused on either grit or self-control, were the outcomes of interest.  The study employed a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative methods (i.e., descriptive statistics, correlations, and multi-variable linear regression) and qualitative methods (i.e., video observations, surveys, and interviews) to both describe and better understand the relationship between these outcomes.
      The average reading and character growth of the students in the study was notable, with students—on average—making 1.24 years of reading progress (as measured by grade level equivalency) over one school year and demonstrating character growth beyond expectation.  Students in classrooms focused on the character strength of grit grew more with respect to strength of character than did their peers in classrooms focused on self-control.  Also, students demonstrating higher levels of grit grew more with respect to reading than did their peers with lower levels of grit.
      Counter to the study’s hypothesis, the character-focused lessons were negatively (though weakly) associated with students’ character growth.  Qualitative examination of a subset of the lessons indicated that (a) grit was often positioned as the more “academic” strength, while self-control was often positioned as the more “social” strength and (b) stronger lessons may have heightened students’ reference bias, such that students had a more ambitious vision of grit or self-control as a result.
      In interviews with a subset of the teachers in the sample, those who led their students to notably above-average character growth all had consistent, robust character education in their schools, in stark contrast to the teachers who led their students to notably below-average character growth.
      The study’s findings suggest that particular non-cognitive strengths—in this case, grit—are associated with desirable academic outcomes, even in young school children, and that in-classroom and school-wide character education may help to support the growth and development of these strengths.

Universal crossing probability in anisotropic systems

description: Scale-invariant universal crossing probabilities are studied for critical anisotropic systems in two dimensions. For weakly anisotropic standard percolation in a rectangular-shaped system, Cardy's exact formula is generalized using a length-rescaling procedure. For strongly anisotropic systems in 1+1 dimensions, exact results are obtained for the random walk with absorbing boundary conditions, which can be considered as a linearized mean-field approximation for directed percolation. The bond and site directed percolation problem is itself studied numerically via Monte Carlo simulations on the diagonal square lattice with either free or periodic boundary conditions. A scale-invariant critical crossing probability is still obtained, which is a universal function of the effective aspect ratio r_eff=c r where r=L/t^z, z is the dynamical exponent and c is a non-universal amplitude.

description: Restoration of grassland ecosystems is challenging due to moisture limitation, competition from nonnative invasive plants, and difficulty in establishing native grassland species. A manipulative experiment was designed to study the establishment for four native grassland species using combinations of two soil amendments in the lower grasslands of Kamloops, BC. The treatments included the use of a straw germination mat with seed placed either on top or underneath, hydroseeding, a combination of the straw matting with the hydro-seeding either below or on top, seeding without any soil amendment and a control with no seeding or amendment. Treatments were each replicated 6 times in a randomized complete block design. Approximately 150 seeds of each bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata), rough fescue (Festuca campestris), brown-eyed Susan (Gaillardia aristata) and long-leaved daisy (Erigeron filifolius) were broadcast seeded per plot. Soil moisture and temperature, and cover of functional groups on each treatment were recorded and statistically analyzed. The highest cover by functional group was undesirables, none of which were seeded species, indicating the presence of plant propagules at this site. It was found that mat treatments, with seeding below, resulted in the greatest cover of seeded species and the most desirable ratio of grass, forbs and undesirable species.

description: We present catalogs of calibrated photometry and spectroscopic redshifts in the Extended Groth Strip, intended for studies of photometric redshifts (photo-z's). The data includes ugriz photometry from CFHTLS and Y-band photometry from the Subaru Suprime camera, as well as spectroscopic redshifts from the DEEP2, DEEP3 and 3D-HST surveys. These catalogs incorporate corrections to produce effectively matched-aperture photometry across all bands, based upon object size information available in the catalog and Moffat profile point spread function fits. We test this catalog with a simple machine learning-based photometric redshift algorithm based upon Random Forest regression, and find that the corrected aperture photometry leads to significant improvement in photo-z accuracy compared to the original SExtractor catalogs from CFHTLS and Subaru. The deep ugrizY photometry and spectroscopic redshifts are well-suited for empirical tests of photometric redshift algorithms for LSST. The resulting catalogs are publicly available. We include a basic summary of the strategy of the DEEP3 Galaxy Redshift Survey to accompany the recent public release of DEEP3 data.
