Class Warfare: Exploring the Relationship Between Socioeconomic Inequality and Battlefield Performance Between 1800 and 2011

description: Why are some militaries so much more effective on the battlefield than others? Specifically, why are militaries more or less cohesive? Drawing on recent work on military inequality theory, I theorize that political communities with salient socioeconomic divisions will have poor military cohesion. I argue that when these divisions are mobilized and incorporated into the military, it will result in inter-group distrust and a lack of sense of shared fate between elites and out-group members. These two mechanisms will lead to worse military performance. I also conduct an initial empirical test of the relationship between socioeconomic inequality and battlefield performance for 627 belligerents in conventional wars from 1800 to 2011 using data from Project Mars and V-Dem. The results of this analysis show limited evidence for the existence of a negative association between inequality and military effectiveness, but this initial analysis has significant limitations. These findings highlight the need for further theoretical and empirical work on the link between socioeconomic inequality and military performance.

description: The spiral spin liquid (SSL) is a highly degenerate state characterized by a continuous contour or surface in reciprocal space spanned by a spiral propagation vector. Although the SSL state has been predicted in a number of various theoretical models, very few materials are so far experimentally identified to host such a state. Via combined single-crystal wide-angle and small-angle neutron scattering, we report observation of the SSL in the quasi-two-dimensional delafossite AgCrSe$_2$. We show that it is a very close realization of the ideal Heisenberg $J_1$--$J_2$--$J_3$ frustrated model on the triangular lattice. By supplementing our experimental results with microscopic spin-dynamics simulations, we demonstrate how such exotic magnetic states are driven by thermal fluctuations and exchange frustration.

description: Machine learning has emerged as a potent computational tool for expediting research and development in solid oxide fuel cell electrodes. The effective application of machine learning for performance prediction requires transforming electrode microstructure into a format compatible with artificial neural networks. Input data may range from a comprehensive digital material representation of the electrode to a selected set of microstructural parameters. The chosen representation significantly influences the performance and results of the network. Here, we show a novel approach utilizing persistence representation derived from computational topology. Using 500 microstructures and current-voltage characteristics obtained with 3D first-principles simulations, we have prepared an artificial neural network model that can replicate current-voltage characteristics of unseen microstructures based on their persistent image representation. The artificial neural network can accurately predict the polarization curve of solid oxide fuel cell electrodes. The presented method incorporates complex microstructural information from the digital material representation while requiring substantially less computational resources (preprocessing and prediction time approximately 1 min) compared to our high-fidelity simulations (simulation time approximately 1 hour) to obtain a single current-potential characteristic for one microstructure.

title: Examining Health Disparities Related to Foodborne Illnesses Across Racial and Ethnic Groups
Creators: name: Tierney, Reese
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: INTRODUCTION:  Over the past decade, changes to surveillance systems and increased research studies examining health inequities across foodborne illnesses have created a new opportunity for additional research on this topic. There is a growing interest in using this lens to understand foodborne illness in the United States and the inclusion of variables such as race and ethnicity in active surveillance systems can help. 
AIM: The purpose of this thesis was to identify current trends of documenting disparities of foodborne illness across populations and evaluate the mechanism of data representations through a literature review. To further explore the topics identified in the literature review, an analysis of salmonellosis data on the county level was conducted.
METHODS: The literature review was conducted as a pseudo-systematic review with the use of keywords and a restricted year timeline. For the salmonellosis analyses, the Laboratory-based Enteric Disease Surveillance (LEDS) system dataset was aggregated to the county-level for each year between 1997 and 2018, and joined with relevant metadata, including census data on race and ethnicity, CDC data on county urbanicity and social vulnerability indices (SVI), and USDA data on food environment.
RESULTS:  Disparities of foodborne illnesses across racial and minority populations are prevalent across studies included in the literature review. Of the 35 studies reviewed, methods of racial and ethnic representation were inconsistent throughout with practices of collapsing and removal of different minority and ethnic groupings due to low numbers. The salmonellosis analysis found disparities of geometric mean salmonellosis incidence across both social vulnerability index themes and food insecurity variables when examined across levels of urbanicity.
 DISCUSSION: Evidence of disparities in the burden of foodborne illnesses are prevalent in literature. The categorization of race and ethnicity is inconsistent across studies which may cause misrepresentation of these disparities. Understanding the influence of these socioeconomic, geographical, and environmental factors on the incidence of salmonellosis may help us understand the reason for differences in burden across populations with different community demographics.

description: In this work, we have investigated the transverse and spatial structure of light ($π^+ (u\bar d)$, $K^+(u\bar s)$) and heavy ($η_c(c\bar c)$, $η_b (b\bar b)$, $B$ and $D$) pseudoscalar mesons using the light-cone quark model. The transverse structure of these particles have been studied using the transverse momentum dependent parton distribution (TMDs). The leading twist unpolarized $f_1(x, \mathbf{k}_\perp^2)$ TMD has been solved using the quark-quark correlator. We have predicted the average momenta carried by the quark and antiquark of the considered mesons. For a complete description of mesons, we have also computed the leading twist unpolarized $H(x,0,-t)$ generalized parton distribution (GPD). Further, electromagnetic form factors (EMFFs), along with gravitational form factors (GFFs) have been derived by taking the zeroth and first moments of the unpolarized GPD. These EMFFs are found to be compatible with available lattice simulation results. Further, we have also calculated the parton distribution functions (PDFs) for both the quarks and the antiquarks of these mesons. The PDF sum rule has also been verified.

description: The present invention includes a substrate support system that features a chuck body having a body surface with a pin extending therefrom having a contact surface lying in a plane, with the pin being movably coupled to the chuck body to move with respect to the plane. As a result the substrate support system attenuates if not avoids generating non-planarity in a substrate that results from a presence of particulate contaminants. This is achieved by fabricating the pin to be compliant, allowing the same to move to accommodate the presence of the particle while maintaining sufficient planarity in the substrate.

title: An Examination of Consent and Experiences of Sexual Violence Among Queer and Transgender People in Atlanta
Creators: name: Hernandez, Laura
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: INTRODUCTION: Sexual and gender minorities (SGM) experience much higher rates of sexual violence compared to the general population but have been repeatedly overlooked in sexual violence and consent research highlighting the importance of understanding how SGM conceptualize consent and understand their experiences of sexual violence.
METHODS: This study was exploratory in nature and utilized a qualitative research design. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews with queer and transgender adults (N=20) between the age of 18 and 30 who reside in Atlanta and have experienced sexual violence. Thematic content analysis was completed using NVivo 12.
RESULTS: Participants described similar but distinct definitions and practices of consent that were mostly consistent with the literature. Participants shared the ways lack of knowledge or misunderstanding of consent, influenced by rape myths, affected how they viewed and responded to their experiences of sexual violence. The recreation of heteronormative gender dynamics in queer relationships, masculine gender expression as a protective factor for sexual violence, and the safety of mutual understanding and support in queer community were discussed in findings specific to queerness and consent.
DISCUSSION: For many participants, because of societal conceptions of sexual violence, it took years to acknowledge and confront the trauma they experienced, delayed their seeking of support and services, and affected how they approached their future sexual encounters. To adequately address the needs and experiences of this community, sexual violence intervention and prevention efforts must attend to the unique factors that affect sexual and gender minority people who have survived sexual violence.

description: We investigate the Emery model on several ladder-like lattices including two legs of copper d-orbitals and various numbers of oxygen p-orbitals. Pair binding energy, pair spatial structure, density distribution, and pairing correlation functions are calculated using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). We show that a Luther-Emery phase with enhanced pairing correlations can be found for hole doping as well as for electron doping with realistic model parameters. Ladder properties depend sensitively on model parameters, the oxygen p-orbitals taken into account, and boundary conditions. The pair binding energy is a more reliable quantity than correlation functions for studying pairing in ladders. Overall, our results for two-leg Emery ladders support the possibility of superconductivity in the hole-doped 2D model. The issue is rather to determine which of the various ladder structures and model parameters are appropriate to approximate the two-dimensional cuprates.

The methods employ a host cell modified to more efficiently produce properly folded disulfide bond containing proteins. The host cells generally contain a mutation in one or more reductase genes, and can be further genetically modified to increase their growth rate, and are further optionally modified to increase the expression of a catalyst of disulfide bond formation. Host cells, methods for using such to produce proteins of interest, proteins of interest produced by these methods are within the scope of the invention.
title: Factors Impacting Vaccine Uptake, Safety, and Efficacy Concerns among Black and White Adults Previously Infected with COVID-19: A Survey-Based Study
Creators: name: Troka, Klea
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: BACKGROUND:  Despite COVID-19 disproportionality impacting Black communities, vaccine hesitancy may be higher in this group owing to longstanding and enduring systemic racism. In this study, we determined whether Black (vs White) adults within a Georgia (GA) integrated healthcare system, previously infected with COVID-19, were more or less likely to report vaccine hesitancy, report concerns about vaccine safety, and efficacy. We also explored how factors like social determinants of health and hardships faced during the COVID-19 pandemic can affect the impact race has on vaccine outcomes (uptake, safety concerns, efficacy concerns).

METHODS: We invited all adult members age ?18 years at Kaiser Permanente Georgia, with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis between March 2020 and April 2021 to participate in a cross-sectional COVID-19-specific survey (n=17,608 eligible members) sent between June 2021 and August 2021. Participants self-reported race (White, Black) and were asked their willingness to receive a vaccine, concerns about vaccine efficacy, and vaccine safety. Descriptive statistics and Chi-Square tests were calculated. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association between race and three vaccine-specific outcomes (uptake, safety concern, efficacy concern), adjusted for age, sex, social determinants of health, chronic conditions and COVID-19 impact. Mediation analysis was used to assess the impact of education and COVID-19 experiences on the relation between race and vaccine outcomes.

RESULTS:  In total, 482 adults (response rate 3%) completed the survey, but only 414 were eligible to take part in the analysis: mean age 51.3 years (SD=13.1), 32.6% males, and 38.5% reported Black race. A total of 288 (75.0%) participants reported having received the COVID-19 vaccine. Black adults had higher crude OR to not have received the COVID-19 vaccine (cOR=1.8 ; 95% CI: 1.1-2.9), but this was not significant when adjusted for age, sex, chronic conditions, and COVID-19 experiences. Black adults were more likely to have vaccine safety (aOR=2.3; 95% CI: 1.3-4.0) and vaccine efficacy concerns (aOR=2.3; 95% CI: 1.3-4.1) when compared to White adults. Having everyone with a high level of education would eliminate 37% of the effect of race on vaccine uptake and 12% on the effect of race on vaccine safety concerns. Having no one experience financial hardship would eliminate the effect of race on vaccine uptake (29%), vaccine safety concerns (14%), and vaccine efficacy concerns (12%).

CONCLUSION: Our results show that among adults diagnosed with COVID-19 in Georgia, Black adults were not less likely to have received the vaccine compared to White adults, despite having higher odds of being concerned about the vaccine safety and vaccine efficacy. Education and financial hardship negatively impacted the effect of race on vaccine outcomes.

description: Memristor-based adders using memristors-as-drivers (MAD) gates. As a result of employing MAD gates in memristor-based adders, such as ripple carry adders, carry select adders, conditional sum adders and carry lookahead adders, the number of delay steps may be less than half than the number of delay steps required in traditional CMOS implementations of adders. Furthermore, by using MAD gates, memristor-based adders can be implemented with less complexity (e.g., fewer memristors and drivers). As a result, by the memristor-based adders using MAD gates, the speed and complexity of a wide variety of arithmetic operations is improved.

The burden on healthcare workers to eliminate recontamination through repeated cleaning has highlighted the need for continuously active disinfectants against common healthcare pathogens. The study aims to identify proper solutions and methods for surface sampling to detect contamination after disinfecting with Sani-24, a continuous active disinfectant. The sampling solutions and methods tested this study include: Neutralizing Buffer (sodium monopotassium, sodium thiosulfate, aryl sulfonate complex), Eluent (PBS+0.01 % Tween 80), and Cellulose Sponge Stick recovery. When testing MRSA exposure to neutralizing buffer, eluent, and cellulose, no relationship between the bacterial log reduction and time was detected. This showed that the proposed surface sampling methods did not kill the bacteria of interest throughout an extend time, as intended.

description: Aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN) has emerged as a highly promising material for high-temperature applications due to its robust piezoelectric, ferroelectric, and dielectric properties. This study investigates the behavior of Al0.7Sc0.3N thin films in extreme thermal environments, demonstrating functional stability up to 1000°C, making it suitable for use in aerospace, hypersonics, deep-well, and nuclear reactor systems. Tantalum silicide (TaSi2)/Al0.7Sc0.3N/TaSi2 capacitors were fabricated and characterized across a wide temperature range, revealing robust ferroelectric and dielectric properties, along with significant enhancement in piezoelectric performance. At 1000°C, the ferroelectric hysteresis loops showed a substantial reduction in coercive field from 4.3 MV/cm to 1.2 MV/cm, while the longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient increased nearly tenfold, reaching 75.1 pm/V at 800°C. Structural analysis via scanning and transmission electron microscopy confirmed the integrity of the TaSi2/Al0.7Sc0.3N interfaces, even after exposure to extreme temperatures. Furthermore, the electromechanical coupling coefficient was calculated to increase by over 500%, from 12.9% at room temperature to 82% at 700°C. These findings establish AlScN as a versatile material for high-temperature ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and dielectric applications, offering unprecedented thermal stability and functional enhancement.

description: Cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) can lead to stroke and dementia. Stroke is the second leading cause of death world wide and dementia incidence is increasing by the year. There are several markers of CVD that are visible on brain imaging, including: white matter hyperintensities (WMH), acute and chronic ischaemic stroke lesions (ISL), lacunes, enlarged perivascular spaces (PVS), acute and chronic haemorrhagic lesions, and cerebral microbleeds (CMB). Brain atrophy also occurs in CVD. These markers are important for patient management and intervention, since they indicate elevated risk of future stroke and dementia. We systematically reviewed automated systems designed to support radiologists reporting on these CVD imaging findings. We considered commercially available software and research publications which identify at least two CVD markers. In total, we included 29 commercial products and 13 research publications. Two distinct types of commercial support system were available: those which identify acute stroke lesions (haemorrhagic and ischaemic) from computed tomography (CT) scans, mainly for the purpose of patient triage; and those which measure WMH and atrophy regionally and longitudinally. In research, WMH and ISL were the markers most frequently analysed together, from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans; lacunes and PVS were each targeted only twice and CMB only once. For stroke, commercially available systems largely support the emergency setting, whilst research systems consider also follow-up and routine scans. The systems to quantify WMH and atrophy are focused on neurodegenerative disease support, where these CVD markers are also of significance. There are currently no openly validated systems, commercially, or in research, performing a comprehensive joint analysis of all CVD markers (WMH, ISL, lacunes, PVS, haemorrhagic lesions, CMB, and atrophy).

description: The invention is a rotating tip catheter-imaging probe where electromagnetic energy is delivered to the distal end of a catheter and converted to mechanical energy using a light drive apparatus. The mechanical energy is then used to rotate a mirror that redirects light in fixed pattern on a sample. The rotating element of the light drive apparatus contains vanes, which rotate about an axis and positioned with bearings to minimize friction. A chamber encompasses the rotating element and is set to a vacuum pressure. The rotational speed of the catheter tip can be controlled by varying the optical power delivered to the vanes, the vacuum pressure in the chamber, or by a braking mechanism applied to the rotating element. The vanes may be shaped in a particular geometry to increase forces on the vanes from thermally driven gas flow.

description: Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) is among the most suitable candidates to replace WIMPs and to resolve the puzzling mystery of dark matter. A galactic dark matter halo made of these ultralight bosonic particles leads to the formation of a solitonic core surrounded by quantum interference patterns that, on average, reproduce a Navarro-Frenk-White-like mass density profile in the outskirts of the halo. The structure of such a core is determined once the boson mass and the total mass of the halo are set. We investigated the capability of future astrometric Theia-like missions to detect the properties of such a halo within the FDM model, namely the boson mass and the core radius. To this aim, we built mock catalogs containing three-dimensional positions and velocities of stars within a target dwarf galaxy. We exploited these catalogs using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm and found that measuring the proper motion of at least 2000 stars within the target galaxy, with uncertainty $σ_v \leq 3$ km/s on the velocity components, will constrain the boson mass and the core radius with 3\% accuracy. Furthermore, the transition between the solitonic core and the outermost NFW-like density profile could be detected with an uncertainty of 7\%. Such results would not only help to confirm the existence of FDM, but they would also be useful for alleviating the current tension between galactic and cosmological estimations of the boson mass, or demonstrating the need for multiple particles with a broad mass spectrum as naturally arise String Axiverse.

description: Building relevance models to rank documents based on user information needs is a central task in information retrieval and the NLP community. Beyond the direct ad-hoc search setting, many knowledge-intense tasks are powered by a first-stage retrieval stage for context selection, followed by a more involved task-specific model. However, most first-stage ranking stages are inherently limited by the recall of the initial ranking documents. Recently, adaptive re-ranking techniques have been proposed to overcome this issue by continually selecting documents from the whole corpus, rather than only considering an initial pool of documents. However, so far these approaches have been limited to heuristic design choices, particularly in terms of the criteria for document selection. In this work, we propose a unifying view of the nascent area of adaptive retrieval by proposing, Quam, a \textit{query-affinity model} that exploits the relevance-aware document similarity graph to improve recall, especially for low re-ranking budgets. Our extensive experimental evidence shows that our proposed approach, Quam improves the recall performance by up to 26\% over the standard re-ranking baselines. Further, the query affinity modelling and relevance-aware document graph modules can be injected into any adaptive retrieval approach. The experimental results show the existing adaptive retrieval approach improves recall by up to 12\%. The code of our work is available at \url{https://github.com/Mandeep-Rathee/quam}.

description: The self-installing anchor is configured for falling vertically through the water, embedding vertically into the soil, rotating and translating diagonally deeper through the soil in response to the anchor line load being transmitted to it, and achieving its maximum holding capacity with the anchor line acting normal to the fluke. In various implementations, a coupling mechanism at one end of the shank is engaged with a bearing surface at an entry end of the fluke to hold the shank close to the fluke while falling through the water and embedding vertically into the soil. The coupling mechanism provides eccentricity to the load applied and allows for the rotation of the anchor. The coupling mechanism is disengaged at a predetermined angle, liberating one end of the shank, and the point of application of the force on the anchor is modified to make it dive deeper into the soil.

description: An inkjet-based process for programmable deposition of thin films of a user-defined profile. Drops of a pre-cursor liquid organic material are dispensed at various locations on a substrate by a multi-jet. A superstrate is held in a roll-to-roll configuration such that a first contact of the drops is made by a front side of the superstrate thereby initiating a liquid front that spreads outward merging with the drops to form a contiguous film captured between the substrate and the superstrate. A non-equilibrium transient state of the superstrate, the contiguous film and the substrate then occurs after a duration of time. The contiguous film is then cured to crosslink it into a polymer. The superstrate is then separated from the polymer thereby leaving a polymer film on the substrate. In such a manner, non-uniform films can be formed without significant material wastage in an inexpensive manner.
