Tight Coils: Black Transfemininity, Transhegemony, and Identity Formation in The U.S. South
Creators: name: Kennedy, Vic
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2023

description:
Often without question, we are tasked with understanding gender as inherently predicated on the assumption of whiteness and understanding that Black trans women and other transfeminine people belong at the bottom of a silent hierarchy of sorts. How then do Southern Black transfeminine people form their genders under such tightly coiled restraints? To elucidate these questions answers, I interviewed 5 Southern Black trans women and/or Southern Black transfeminine people to discuss the issues facing those that find themselves often spoken about but rarely spoken to. After these interviews, I utilized both my own understanding of Southern Black gender theory as well as the works of Black gender and Africana studies theorists to parse out how hegemonies within Southern trans communities are leading to Black trans womens alienation and brutalization through narrative analysis. I aim to let these interviewees stories act as a catalyzing force for further Black transgender theorization.

description: We study gravitational wave microlensing by primordial black holes (PBHs), accounting for the effect of a particle dark matter minihalo surrounding them. Such minihaloes are expected when PBHs make up only a fraction of all dark matter. We find that the LIGO-Virgo detections imply a $1σ$ bound on the abundance of PBHs heavier than $50 M_{\odot}$. The next generation observatories can potentially probe PBHs as light as $0.01 M_\odot$ and down to $2\times10^{-4}$ fraction of all dark matter. We also show that these detectors can distinguish between dressed and naked PBHs, providing a novel way to study the distribution of particle dark matter around black holes and potentially shed light on the origins of black holes.

description: The perspective of Kac-Schwarz operators is introduced to the authors' previous work on the quantum mirror curves of topological string theory in strip geometry and closed topological vertex. Open string amplitudes on each leg of the web diagram of such geometry can be packed into a multi-variate generating function. This generating function turns out to be a tau function of the KP hierarchy. The tau function has a fermionic expression, from which one finds a vector $|W\rangle$ in the fermionic Fock space that represents a point $W$ of the Sato Grassmannian. $|W\rangle$ is generated from the vacuum vector $|0\rangle$ by an operator $g$ on the Fock space. $g$ determines an operator $G$ on the space $V = \mathbb{C}((x))$ of Laurent series in which $W$ is realized as a linear subspace. $G$ generates an admissible basis $\{Φ_j(x)\}_{j=0}^\infty$ of $W$. $q$-difference analogues $A$, $B$ of Kac-Schwarz operators are defined with the aid of $G$. $Φ_j(x)$'s satisfy the linear equations $AΦ_j(x) = q^jΦ_j(x)$, $BΦ_j(x) = Φ_{j+1}(x)$. The lowest equation $AΦ_0(x) = Φ_0(x)$ reproduces the quantum mirror curve in the authors' previous work.

description: Chronic diseases are responsible for approximately 71% global deaths. These are characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation and metabolic alterations. “Functional foods” have been attributed with anti-inflammatory properties, demonstrated in cell lines and murine models; however, studies in humans are inconclusive. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify clinical trials that analyzed changes in inflammatory and metabolic mediators, in response to consumption of specific functional foods. A total of 3581 trials were screened and 88 were included for this review. Foods identified to regulate inflammation included cranberries, grapes, pomegranate, strawberries, wheat, whole grain products, low fat dairy products, yogurt, green tea, cardamom, turmeric, soy foods, almonds, chia seeds, flaxseed, pistachios, algae oil, flaxseed oil and grape seed oil. Clinical trials that focus on a dietary pattern rich in functional foods are necessary to explore if the additive effect of these foods lead to more clinically relevant outcomes.

Year: 2019

description: This research was undertaken to investigate the effect of advertisement on consumers purchase intention of soap and detergents. The literatures reviewed discussed theories, types and other researches related to the study variables. Consumer behavior had also been covered briefly. The research used descriptive approach and described quantitatively factors related to consumer purchase intention of soap and detergents. As a main focus, the effect of advertisement characters on consumers purchase intention had been studied. Advertisement which is the independent variable was further sub categorized into understandably, memorability, credibility and originality. Purchase intention was identified as the dependent variable. Primary data was collected from consumers using a five point like hart scale questionnaire and secondary data was collected from different sources. A total of 384 questioners were distributed of which 330 were properly filled and returned for further analysis. All the 330 questioners were analyzed using SPSS. The Pearson correlation coefficient indicated that all the independent variables are correlated positively with the dependent variables. Originality, understandability and memorability were found to be strongly correlated while credibility is moderately correlated. Regression analysis was also applied and the results indicated that all the aforementioned variables are significant. Among the independent variables originality owned a highest beta score followed by credibility, understandability and memorability. Based on the findings, a mathematical model of regression had been put forward and it is recommended that the variables should be incorporated in advertisement campaign to design an effective advertisement. Hence this research adds a new dimension to advertisement industry as well as to the literatures of soap and detergent marketing

description: In the conventional formulation of general relativity, gravity is represented by the metric curvature of Riemannian geometry. There are also alternative formulations in flat affine geometries, wherein the gravitational dynamics is instead described by torsion and nonmetricity. These so called general teleparallel geometries may also have applications in material physics, such as the study of crystal defects. In this work, we explore the general teleparallel geometry in the language of differential forms. We discuss the special cases of metric and symmetric teleparallelisms, clarify the relations between formulations with different gauge fixings and without gauge fixing, and develop a method of recasting Riemannian into teleparallel geometries. As illustrations of the method, exact solutions are presented for the generic quadratic theory in 2, 3 and 4 dimensions.

description: This note resurrects a largely forgotten technique advanced by TWEETEN and QUANCE (1969) for capturing price asymmetries. Their study employs dummy variables that split up the price variable into two complementing explanatory terms capturing either increasing or decreasing input prices. This approach is criticized by WOLFFRAM (1971) for being mathematically incorrect. He proposes an alternative technique based on price differences, which has since established itself as the primary method for dealing with price asymmetry. We challenge WOLFFRAM’s critique and show that the TWEETEN and QUANCE approach provides for a consistent estimation method that is more readily interpretable than WOLFFRAM’s alternative.

description: Hedgehogs are geometrical objects that describe the Minkowski differences of arbitrary convex bodies in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^n$. We prove that two hedgehogs in $\mathbb{E}^n, n \geq 3$, coincide up to a translation and a reflection in the origin, provided that their projections onto any two-dimensional plane are directly congruent and have no direct rigid motion symmetries. Our result is a consequence of a more general analytic statement about the solutions of a functional equation in which the support functions of hedgehogs are replaced with two arbitrary twice continuously differentiable functions on the unit sphere.

description: Edge atomic configuration often plays an important role in dictating the properties of finite-sized two-dimensional (2D) materials. By performing ab initio calculations, we identify a highly stable zigzag edge of phosphorene, which is the most stable one among all the considered edges. Surprisingly, this highly stable edge exhibits a novel nanotube-like structure, which is topologically distinctively different from any previously reported edge reconstruction. We further show that this new edge type can form easily, with an energy barrier of only 0.234 eV. It may be the dominant edge type at room temperature in vacuum condition or even under low hydrogen gas pressure. The calculated band structure reveals that the reconstructed edge possesses a bandgap of 1.23 eV. It is expected that this newly found edge structure may stimulate more studies in uncovering other novel edge types and further exploring their practical applications.

description: Repairing inconsistent knowledge bases is a task that has been assessed, with great advances over several decades, from within the knowledge representation and reasoning and the database theory communities. As information becomes more complex and interconnected, new types of repositories, representation languages and semantics are developed in order to be able to query and reason about it. Graph databases provide an effective way to represent relationships among data, and allow processing and querying these connections efficiently. In this work, we focus on the problem of computing preferred (subset and superset) repairs for graph databases with data values, using a notion of consistency based on a set of Reg-GXPath expressions as integrity constraints. Specifically, we study the problem of computing preferred repairs based on two different preference criteria, one based on weights and the other based on multisets, showing that in most cases it is possible to retain the same computational complexity as in the case where no preference criterion is available for exploitation.

description: We explore the method of using the measured jet activity associated with a high mass resonance state to determine the corresponding production modes. To demonstrate the potential of the approach, we consider the case of a resonance of mass $M_R$ decaying to a diphoton final state. We perform a Monte Carlo study, considering three mass points $M_R=0.75,\,1.5\,,2.5$ TeV, and show that the $γγ$, $WW$, $gg$ and light and heavy $q\overline{q}$ initiated cases lead to distinct predictions for the jet multiplicity distributions. As an example, we apply this result to the ATLAS search for resonances in diphoton events, using the 2015 data set of $3.2\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. Taking the spin-0 selection, we demonstrate that a dominantly $gg$-initiated signal hypothesis is mildly disfavoured, while the $γγ$ and light quark cases give good descriptions within the limited statistics, and a dominantly $WW$-initiated hypothesis is found to be in strong tension with the data. We also comment on the $b\overline{b}$ initial state, which can already be constrained by the measured $b$-jet multiplicity. Finally, we present expected exclusion limits with integrated luminosity, and demonstrate that with just a few 10's of ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ we can expect to constrain the production modes of such a resonance.

description: The newly discovered kagome metals AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A = K, Rb, Cs) offer an exciting route to study exotic phases arising due to interplay between electronic correlations and topology. Besides superconductivity, these materials exhibit a charge-density wave (CDW) phase occurring at around 100 K, whose origin still remains elusive. The robust multi-component $2 \times 2$ CDW phase in these systems is of great interest due to the presence of an unusually large anomalous Hall effect. In quasi-2D systems with weak inter-layer coupling fluctuation driven exotic phases may appear. In particular in systems with multi-component order parameters fluctuations may lead to establishment of composite order when only products of individual order parameters condense while the individual ones themselves remain disordered. We argue that such fluctuation-driven regime of composite CDW order may exist in thin films of kagome metals above the CDW transition temperature. It is suggested that the melting of the Trihexagonal state in the material doped way from the van Hove singularities gives rise to a pseudogap regime where the spectral weight is concentrated in small pockets and most of the original Fermi surface is gapped. Our findings suggest possible presence of exotic phases in the weakly coupled layered kagome metals, more so in the newly synthesized thin films of kagome metals.

description: Antigens derived from engulfed apoptotic bodies that are presented by dendritic cells can amplify Ag-specific T-cells. Accelerated co-cultured DC (acDC) strategy keeps lymphocytes in contact with differentiating DCs. Therefore, Ag-specific T-cell activation can occur during DC maturation. Our aim was to prepare DCs by acDC method and check the subsequent engulfment of the apoptotic body by acDC. We have proposed that this method could be feasible if we transfect the apoptotic bodies with the antigen. DCs were prepared using acDC method and their maturation markers were confirmed by flow cytometry. Ultraviolet was used for inducing apoptosis in the PBMCs and induction of apoptosis checked by propidium iodide and 7-aminoactinomycin D staining. Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry were used for checking the uptake of apoptotic bodies by the DCs. The alloreactivity against apoptotic bodies was examined by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay. Results showed that 40.4% of DCs could efficiently engulf the apoptotic bodies. The results indicated that acDC method is capable to isolate a high yield of DCs, and these cells could properly engulf the apoptotic bodies, more works should be performed to use this method for Ag discovery through delivering the Ag by apoptotic bodies into the DCs.

description: Rapid growth of informal settlements in developing countries constitutes one of the most intriguing forms of urbanization. However, factors and theories underpinning this rapid and prevalent dynamic of informal settlements are often restricted to the descriptive phase. The purpose of this study is to investigates the land administration model that is used to regulate the expansion of informal settlements in Hossana Town administration. This paper present how Informal Settlement Growth Model (ISGM) be alternative to improve the current GIS approach. This paper proposes a mixed method research methodology. It propose three steps: (1) collect information through interviews, questionnaires documents and field observation on the internal and external factors of informal settlements, (2) incorporate the collected data and models to analysis data, and (3) suggest the recommendation for improving effective land administration system with respect to informal settlements.The studyprovides thatfrom the total population of Hossana Town 19.4% livelihoods are squatters.From those who owned land in unplanned area, 77% obtainedby fools gift or without legal certification.The problem of informal settlements in Hossana Town has been attributed to deficits in housing supply, high home rent and expensive land tender price. The implementation of good land administration model is appropriate to reduce the major constraints. Key Words: Informal Settlement, Squatting, Land Administration, Land Right

Urban Governance With Respect to Cities' Competitiveness in Ethiopia: the Cases of Dire Dawa and Hawassa Cities
Creators: name: Haile, Endale
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The general objective of the study was to investigate the urban governance system in respect of competitiveness in Ethiopia. Dire Dawa and Hawassa were used as case studies to examine the urban governance system and the performance of the urban competitiveness. The study has employed a mixed research approach and descriptive case study as a research method. Both primary and secondary data were gathered from public, private and civic society organizations operating in the case areas. The urban governance system and urban competitiveness are interrelated and interdependent. The urban government in Ethiopia has administrative power to furnish both the province and municipal affairs and they have the Power to generate and collect their own revenue within the frameworks that were delineated by law regardless of the high intervention of the federal government on urban matters. The analysis concludes that, governance structure of the cities, the absence of institutional and legal mechanism to promote the NSA"s involvement and the less autonomous power of urban government in making laws and policies would affect the competitiveness of cities, while the location and being the center of political and administrative seats of the state contributes more to enhance cities" competitiveness. In addition, the urban government system in Ethiopia is highly dominated by the state actors in which the NSAs did not have the adequate bargaining power to express their preference in urban development plans and policies. As a result, the coalition between the state and non-state actors depends on the downward relationship of implementation of urban development policies and obtaining the commitment of the non-state actors. Coordination for the sake of enhancing economic growth and competitiveness has been absent in both cities studied. As a result of the centralized policy making process, the cities haven"t used policies and laws as an instrument to attract investment to their territories, and more than 93 % of investments were concentrated in Addis Ababa. A key contribution of this dissertation is the recognition of how the governance process influences the policy decision-making process and how this may relate to the economic performance of cities" in enhancing competitiveness. Finally, There are varying explanations for why individual cities have done good or bad, but it might be required to investigate further why the disparity has created between Addis Ababa and other major cities like Hawassa, Dire Dawa, Mekelle, Bahir Dar and etc in attracting and retaining investments. These might be issues for further research. (Key Issues: Urban Government, Urban Governance, Urban Competitiveness)

description:

Il lavoro ha ad oggetto la ricostruzione, alla luce del diritto vigente, di un “sistema del diritto criminale” “integrale” e “integrato”. “Integrale”, in quanto ricavato dall’interpretazione delle disposizioni del diritto penale non solo sostanziale, ma anche processuale e dell’esecuzione penitenziaria, passando per le misure di prevenzione ante e praeter delictum; in una prospettiva quindi tanto repressiva che preventiva. “Integrato”, in quanto basato altresì sulle interferenze e interrelazioni tra tutte le “fattispecie di responsabilità” che hanno fra i loro requisiti costitutivi la commissione di un “fatto di reato”; non solo quindi la fattispecie di responsabilità per la “pena criminale”, ma anche quella per la “misura di sicurezza”, quella “civile da reato” e “amministrativa dell’ente” per il reato commesso dai suoi vertici. In questa logica ricostruttiva, momento centrale è la formulazione di una “teoria del reato” sviluppata attraverso una analisi degli elementi che compongono la struttura di questo “tipo di illecito”; analisi che prende le mosse da una “teoria della norma incriminatrice”, vista nei suoi quattro aspetti “temporale”, “spaziale”, “personale” e “materiale”.

description: Using both ground-based transit photometry and high-precision radial velocity (RV) spectroscopy, we confirm the planetary nature of TOI-3785 b. This transiting Neptune orbits an M2-Dwarf star with a period of ~4.67 days, a planetary radius of 5.14 +/- 0.16 Earth Radii, a mass of 14.95 +4.10, -3.92 Earth Masses, and a density of 0.61 +0.18, -0.17 g/cm^3. TOI-3785 b belongs to a rare population of Neptunes (4 Earth Radii < Rp < 7 Earth Radii) orbiting cooler, smaller M-dwarf host stars, of which only ~10 have been confirmed. By increasing the number of confirmed planets, TOI-3785 b offers an opportunity to compare similar planets across varying planetary and stellar parameter spaces. Moreover, with a high transmission spectroscopy metric (TSM) of ~150 combined with a relatively cool equilibrium temperature of 582 +/- 16 K and an inactive host star, TOI-3785 b is one of the more promising low-density M-dwarf Neptune targets for atmospheric follow-up. Future investigation into atmospheric mass loss rates of TOI-3785 b may yield new insights into the atmospheric evolution of these low-mass gas planets around M-dwarfs.

description: Methods are developed, which use the pulse-height spectra of SiPMs measured in the dark and illuminated by pulsed light, to determine the pulse shape, the dark-count rate, the gain, the average number of photons initiating a Geiger discharge, the probabilities for prompt cross-talk and after-pulses, as well as the electronics noise and the gain fluctuations between and in pixels. The entire pulse-height spectra, including the background regions in-between the peaks corresponding to different number of Geiger discharges, are described by single functions. As a demonstration, the model is used to characterise a KETEK SiPM with 4382 pixels of 15 μm x 15 μm area for voltages between 2.5 and 8 V above the breakdown voltage at 20°C. The results are compared to other methods of characterising SiPMs. Finally, examples are given, how the complete description of the pulse-eight spectra can be used to optimise the operating voltage of SiPMs, and a method for an in-situ calibration and monitoring of SiPMs, suited for large-scale applications, is proposed.

Evaluating determinants of pricing objectives (The case of selected breweries in Ethiopia)
Creators: name: Tsegaye, Nigatu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: A total of 345 questionnaires were distributed to employees of four conveniently selected brewery companies in Addis Ababa Ethiopia with 268 questionnaires responded by a total of 161 males and 107 females involved. 41 males and 37 females were from BGI Ethiopia, 38 males and 23 females were from Dashen, 36 males and 23 females were from Diageo Meta and 44 males and 26 female respondents participated from Heineken. Most of the respondents (32.5%) have job experience of above five years. The general purpose of the study was to evaluate cost, product quality, demand and competition as determinants of pricing objectives in breweries of Ethiopia. The result shows that, cost, product quality, demand and competition have direct and significant relationship with determination and achievement of pricing objectives in breweries of Ethiopia with P ≤ 0.05. r=0.665, 0.695, 0.516 and 0.383 respectively. Moreover, financial objectives were found to be dominant over competitive objectives in breweries of Ethiopia. The study also found that, cost is the most determinant of pricing objectives with a mean average of 8.46, competition has an impact on pricing objectives an average mean of 8.42, product quality has an impact on pricing objectives a mean average of 8.37 and demand has an impact on pricing objectives a mean average of 8.23. According to these findings, cost is the most determinant factor on pricing objectives particularly on financial objectives. Whereas, product quality, demand and competition have higher impact on competitive objectives than financial objectives. Companies pursuing financial objectives are recommended to strictly consider cost without forgetting its competitive advantages whereas, companies pursuing competitive objectives are recommended to give higher attention for competition, product quality (differentiation) and demand without forgetting the influence of cost.

description: We consider a Weyl-Lorentz-$U(1)$-invariant gravity model written in terms of a scalar field, electromagnetic field and nonmetricity without torsion and curvature, the so-called symmetric teleparallel geometry, in three dimensions. Firstly, we obtain variational field equations from a Lagrangian. Then, we find some classes of circularly symmetric rotating solutions by making only a metric ansatz. The coincident gauge of symmetric teleparallel spacetime allows us for doing so.

description: Undefined strain starters are used for the production of many traditional and artisanal cheeses. Composition of undefined starters depends on several factors, and the diversity in strains and species significantly affects cheese quality and features. Culture-dependent approaches have long been used for the microbial profiling and functionalities of undefined cultures but underestimate their diversity due to culturability biases. Recently, culture-independent methods, based on high-throughput sequencing (HTS), have been preferred, with a significant boost in resolution power and sensitivity level. Amplicon targeted (AT) metagenomics, based on 16S rRNA sequencing, returned a larger microbiota diversity at genus and, sometimes, at species levels for artisanal starters of several PDO cheeses, but was inappropriate for populations with high strain diversity, and other gene targets were tested in AT approaches. Shotgun metagenomics (total DNA) and metatranscriptomics (total RNA), although are more powerful in depicting diversity and functionality of undefined cultures, have been rarely applied because of some limitations (e.g., high costs and laboriousness, need for bioinformatics skills). The advantages of HTS technologies are undoubted, but some hurdles need to be still overcame (e.g., resolution power, discrepancy between active and inactive cells, robust analytic pipelines, cost and time reduction for integrated approaches) so that HTS become routinary and convenient for defining complexity, microbial interactions (including host-phage relationships) and evolution in cheeses of undefined starters.

description: As a vector-tensor theory including nonminimal coupling between the Ricci tensor and a vector field, the bumblebee gravity is a potential theory to test Lorentz symmetry violation. Recently, a new class of numerical spherical black holes in the bumblebee theory was constructed. In this paper, we investigate the associated local thermodynamic properties. By introducing a pair of conjugated thermodynamic quantities $X$ and $Y$, which can be interpreted as an extension of electric potential and charge of the Reissner Nordström black holes, we numerically construct a new first law of thermodynamics for bumblebee black holes. We then study the constant-$Y$ processes in the entropy-charge parameter space. For the constant-$Y$ processes, we also calculate the heat capacity to study the local thermodynamic stability of the bumblebee black holes. For a negative nonminimal coupling coefficient $ξ$, we find both divergent and smooth phase transitions. For a positive but small $ξ$, only a divergent phase transition is found. It turns out that there is a critical value $0.4κ<ξ_c < 0.5κ$ such that when $ξ_c < ξ<2κ$, even the divergent phase transition disappears and the bumblebee black holes thus become locally thermodynamically unstable regardless of the bumblebee charge. As for $ξ>2κ$, the smooth phase transition arises again but there no longer exists any discontinuous phase transition for the bumblebee black holes.

NSVZ-like scheme for the photino mass in softly broken ${\cal N}=1$ SQED regularized by higher derivatives

description: In the case of using the higher derivative regularization we construct the subtraction scheme which gives the NSVZ-like relation for the anomalous dimension of the photino mass in softly broken ${\cal N}=1$ SQED with $N_f$ flavors in all loops. The corresponding renormalization prescription is determined by simple boundary conditions imposed on the renormalization constants. It allows fixing an arbitrariness of choosing finite counterterms in every order of the perturbation theory in such a way that the renormalization group functions defined in terms of the renormalized coupling constant satisfy the NSVZ-like relation.

description: Accurate and efficient classification of different types of cancer is critical for early detection and effective treatment. In this paper, we present the results of our experiments using the EfficientNet algorithm for classification of brain tumor, breast cancer mammography, chest cancer, and skin cancer. We used publicly available datasets and preprocessed the images to ensure consistency and comparability. Our experiments show that the EfficientNet algorithm achieved high accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores on each of the cancer datasets, outperforming other state-of-the-art algorithms in the literature. We also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the EfficientNet algorithm and its potential applications in clinical practice. Our results suggest that the EfficientNet algorithm is well-suited for classification of different types of cancer and can be used to improve the accuracy and efficiency of cancer diagnosis.
