description: We present new measurements of KL semileptonic form factors using data collected in 1997 by the KTeV (E832) experiment at Fermilab. The measurements are based 1.9 million KL->pi e nu and 1.5 million KL->pi mu nu decays. For f+(t), we measure both a linear and quadratic term lambda+' = (20.64 +- 1.75)E-3 and lambda+'' = (3.20 +- 0.69)E-3. For f0(t), we find lambda0 = (13.72 +- 1.31)E-3. These form factors are consistent with K+- form factors, suggesting that isospin symmetry breaking effects are small. We use our measured values of the form factors to evaluate the decay phase space integrals, IK(e) = 0.15350 +- 0.00105 and IK(mu) =0.10165 +- 0.00080, where errors include uncertainties arising from the form factor parametrizations.

description: This study examined the effects of the four-hour intervention, Eating to Your Heart's Content, on the blood cholesterol level and cholesterol-controlling behaviors, as assessed through a 12-hour fasting blood analysis and the Nutrition Behavior Inventory (NBI), respectively, of 32 adult males and 30 adult females, all of whom had a blood cholesterol level greater than 200 milligrams per deciliter of blood. The research methodology utilized in this study was an experimental design with volunteer subjects who were randomly assigned into the experimental or control group. Study data were obtained over a 11-week period. During week one all subjects completed the Background Data Form, the NBI, and the 12-hour fasting blood analysis. Subjects assigned to the experimental group participated in the Eating to Your Heart's Content intervention conducted by the investigator. The objective of the intervention was to influence participants to adopt a sensible approach to eating behavior by providing them with factual information on their blood cholesterol level and practical tips on controlling it. At week 11 of the study, all subjects completed a second NBI and blood cholesterol analysis. Four hypotheses were tested with the data obtained through the two assessment tools, the NBI and the blood cholesterol analysis, and were analyzed statistically using Student's t-test procedure. The comparison showed a significant decrease in the NBI score for the female experimental group and for the male control group. A marginal decrease on the NBI score was noted for the male experimental group. With regard to blood cholesterol level, no significant decrease occurred for the male and female subjects in the experimental or control group, although a marginal decrease was found for both of these groups. This slight decrease in blood cholesterol levels coupled with the decrease in the NBI score may be considered encouraging. The results of this research seemed to support that a moderate approach, such as the Eating to Your Heart's Content, to changing selected cholesterol-controlling behavior was effective for females. The evidence from this study in such regard is inconclusive regarding males.

description: We describe indexes for searching large data sets for variable-length-gapped (VLG) patterns. VLG patterns are composed of two or more subpatterns, between each adjacent pair of which is a gap-constraint specifying upper and lower bounds on the distance allowed between subpatterns. VLG patterns have numerous applications in computational biology (motif search), information retrieval (e.g., for language models, snippet generation, machine translation) and capture a useful subclass of the regular expressions commonly used in practice for searching source code. Our best approach provides search speeds several times faster than prior art across a broad range of patterns and texts.

We show that dist_oq is Lipschitz equivalent to Rieffel's distance dist_q, and give criteria for when a parameterized family of compact quantum metric spaces is continuous with respect to dist_oq. As applications, we show that the continuity of a parameterized family of quantum metric spaces induced by ergodic actions of a fixed compact group is determined by the multiplicities of the actions, generalizing Rieffel's work on noncommutative tori and integral coadjoint orbits of semisimple compact connected Lie groups; we also show that the theta-deformations of Connes and Landi are continuous in the parameter theta.

description: Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) technique enables convenient nanoscopic characterization for various systems and conditions. Nonetheless, lab-based SAXS systems intrinsically suffer from insufficient x-ray flux and limited angular resolution. Here, we develop a two-step reconstruction methodology to enhance the angular resolution for given experimental conditions. Using minute hardware additions, we show that translating the x-ray detector in subpixel steps and modifying the incoming beam shape results in a set of 2D scattering images which is sufficient for super-resolution SAXS reconstruction. The technique is verified experimentally to show above 25\% increase in resolution. Such advantages have a direct impact on the ability to resolve faster and finer nanoscopic structures and can be implemented in most existing SAXS apparatuses.

Attitudinal effects of using primary source materials from Africa with high school students

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the attitudes of high school social studies students toward a geographical region and the residents of that region could be changed by exposing the students to fiction and non-fiction written by "insiders" of the region as opposed to traditional text material written by "outsiders" about the region. A second purpose was to determine whether the global attitudes, specifically those of reciprocity, acceptance, and international cooperation, of the students could be changed by the same treatment. Data were gathered from six social studies teachers in the Northwest and on the East Coast. Changes in attitudes towards Africans were measured in a pretest/posttest treatment/control design. Ninety-nine control group students and 235 experimental group students were given pretests consisting of a modified version of Osgood's semantic differential to determine students' attitudes toward Africans and the Newark, Delaware Global Attitude Scale to measure students' global attitudes prior to studying units on Africa. Upon completing either their normal units or the experimental treatment consisting of using Through African Eyes, classes were given the same two tests as a post-test. T-tests were used to compare the difference in pretest and posttest scores to determine whether there was a change in student attitudes towards Africans and whether there was a change in global attitudes. Analyses of the data indicated that using the "insider's" approach to teach about Africa was more successful in changing students' attitudes than using traditional text material. However, there was no significant difference between the groups on the global test. Only on the acceptance subscale was there a significant difference between the groups. Further studies are needed to determine to what degree the textual materials, supplementary materials, the teachers, or different teaching methodologies are responsible for changes in attitudes.

On the origin of temperature dependence of interlayer exchange coupling in metallic trilayers

description: We study the influence of collective magnetic excitations on the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) in metallic multilayers. The results are compared to other models that explain the temperature dependence of the IEC by mechanisms within the spacer or at the interfaces of the multilayers. As a main result we find that the reduction of the IEC with temperature shows practically the same functional dendence in all models. On the other hand the influence of the spacer thickness, the magnetic material, and an external field are quite different. Based on these considerations we propose experiments, that are able to determine the dominating mechanism that reduces the IEC at finite temperatures.

The effectiveness of enforcement activities of the occupational safety program of Korea
Creators: name: Chung, Joo-Taek
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study investigates empirically the effects of workplace inspections on workplace safety after the legislation of Industrial Safety and Health Act of 1981 in Korea. The effects of inspections are measured by whether the inspections reduce (1) the lost workdays due to injuries (including deaths), and (2) the number of injuries (including deaths). The statistical technique employed is a cross-sectional regression analysis and the unit of analysis is "firm." The data were obtained by a survey from the population of the firms inspected once or more in 1985-1987 period. This study has found that the inspections have significant effects on the reductions of lost workdays and number of injuries. If a firm is inspected a day earlier in a year, the firm is expected to have 0.0413 percent fewer lost workdays (and 0.0362 percent fewer injuries) in the year on average. In the next year after inspection, there are no significant changes in both dependent variables. Instead, the injury level lowered by inspection remains at the reduced level in the next year after inspection (unfortunately, the effects of longer time-period could not be detected because of the limitation of data). This study has also tried to detect the possible differences in inspection effects across subgroups of firms when they are divided by their industries and firm sizes. However, it has been found that the effects of inspection do not significantly vary across subgroups either in the year of inspection or in the next year. To conclude, inspections have significant effects on the increase of workplace safety. The effects occur in the year of inspection and remain at least until next year. The magnitudes of the effects are estimated about 13 percent reduction of number of injuries and about 15 percent reduction of lost workdays in a year after inspection. The results suggest that, on average, an inspection saves 2.1 injuries and 196 lost workdays for the inspected firm in a year after inspection. Then, the level of injury remains at the reduced level at least for one more year.

description: In single-particle or intraparticle entanglement, two degrees of freedom of a single particle, e.g., momentum and polarization of a single photon, are entangled. Single-particle entanglement (SPE) provides a source of non classical correlations which can be exploited both in quantum communication protocols and in experimental tests of noncontextuality based on the Kochen-Specker theorem. Furthermore, SPE is robust under decoherence phenomena. Here, we show that single-particle entangled states of single photons can be produced from attenuated sources of light, even classical ones. To experimentally certify the entanglement, we perform a Bell test, observing a violation of the Clauser, Horne, Shimony and Holt (CHSH) inequality. On the one hand, we show that this entanglement can be achieved even in a classical light beam, provided that first-order coherence is maintained between the degrees of freedom involved in the entanglement. On the other hand, we prove that filtered and attenuated light sources provide a flux of independent SPE photons that, from a statistical point of view, are indistinguishable from those generated by a single photon source. This has important consequences, since it demonstrates that cheap, compact, and low power entangled photon sources can be used for a range of quantum technology applications.

description: We investigate spin-charge conversion phenomena in hybrid structures of topological insulator (TI) thin films and magnetic insulators. We find an anisotropic inverse spin-galvanic effect (ISGE) that yields a highly tunable spin-orbit torque (SOT). Concentrating on the quasiballistic limit, we also predict a giant anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) at low dopings. These effects, which have no counterparts in thick TIs, depend on the simultaneous presence of the hybridization between the surface states and the in-plane magnetization. Both the ISGE and AMR exhibit a strong dependence on the magnetization and the Fermi level position and can be utilized for spintronics and SOT-based applications at the nanoscale.

National orientation to foreign investment: A cross-national quantitative analysis
Creators: name: Furlong, Deborah Kay
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Previous research on the relationship between host countries and multinational enterprises has failed to adequately theorize about host country actions and has focused too narrowly on expropriation. This study presents a state-centric model of national orientation toward foreign investment that attributes variation in policy to three factors: a country's position in the international economy, the state's domestic political capacities and economic involvements, and its political culture. The model incorporates themes from political risk analysis and from research on state theory. The operationalization of host country orientation toward multinational corporations evaluates a wide range of policies enacted to control firm actions. To test the theory the set of policies is statistically analyzed and reduced to a single measure of orientation. An effort to validate the importance of policies relative to other kinds of political risks indicates that firms do base their investment decisions on the basis of regulatory climate. The theory of national orientation is empirically tested with a cross-national data base.

description: Motivated by attempts to extend AdS/CFT duality to non-BPS states we consider classical closed string solutions with several angular momenta in different directions of AdS_5 and S^5. We find a novel solution describing a circular closed string located at a fixed value of AdS_5 radius while rotating simultaneously in two planes in AdS_5 with equal spins S. This solution is a direct generalization of a two-spin flat-space solution where the string rotates in two orthogonal planes while always lying on a 3-sphere. Similar solution exists for a string rotating in S^5: it is parametrized by the angular momentum J of the center of mass and the two equal SO(6) angular momenta J_2=J_3=J' in the two rotation planes. The remarkably simple case is of J=0 where the energy depends on J' as E=[(2J')^2 + ł]^{1/2} with łbeing the string tension or `t Hooft coupling. We discuss interpolation of the E(J') relation to weak coupling by identifying the N=4 SYM theory operator that should be dual to the corresponding semiclassical string state and utilizing existing results for its perturbative anomalous dimension. This opens up a possibility of studying AdS/CFT duality in this new non-BPS sector. We also investigate stability of these classical solutions under small perturbations and comment on several generalizations.

description: Graph representation learning is a fundamental task in various applications that strives to learn low-dimensional embeddings for nodes that can preserve graph topology information. However, many existing methods focus on static graphs while ignoring evolving graph patterns. Inspired by the success of graph convolutional networks(GCNs) in static graph embedding, we propose a novel k-core based temporal graph convolutional network, the CTGCN, to learn node representations for dynamic graphs. In contrast to previous dynamic graph embedding methods, CTGCN can preserve both local connective proximity and global structural similarity while simultaneously capturing graph dynamics. In the proposed framework, the traditional graph convolution is generalized into two phases, feature transformation and feature aggregation, which gives the CTGCN more flexibility and enables the CTGCN to learn connective and structural information under the same framework. Experimental results on 7 real-world graphs demonstrate that the CTGCN outperforms existing state-of-the-art graph embedding methods in several tasks, including link prediction and structural role classification.

description: This study is a macrosociological exploration into the relationship between news content and social change. News production is depicted as occurring within the context of a self-adjusting propaganda system (SAPS). The SAPS is internally hegemonic and produces propaganda in the form of news. It is self-adjusting in a triple sense: Internal hegemony is maintained through a complex negotiated order that adjusts the self-processes of SAPS actors. The negotiated order is adjusted to changes in the SAPS' social context through the joint construction of lines of action by those who work within it. Finally, the SAPS partially constructs its political, economic, and cognitive boundaries through its propaganda output. News content is conceptualized as the concrete residuals of morality, defined as a struggle between mentalities over what ought and ought not be. The internal, hegemonic morality of the SAPS consists of a business mentality struggling with a journalist mentality. This struggle is traced from the 1920s through the late 1970s in the context of a broader national morality. The national morality was found to change, in large measure with changes in news content, from one of class struggle in the 1920s to one of a fascist war against communism versus a counter-cultural war against fascism in the sixties and seventies. The domestic contributions to fighting World-War II, the war against fascism, were identified as the most significant historical events in the construction of the SAPS, its hegemonic morality, and the national morality. The interaction of establishment news (propaganda) with the broader national context was found to be changeable, at times seemingly linear in nature and at other times seemingly dialectical in nature. The dialectical nature of establishment propaganda is, in part, found to be one of the underlying factors in the development of the "sixties" resistance to domestic establishment fascism. Areas for further research are identified and research methods are discussed.

description: Camelina sativa (L.) is an old oil crop that is gaining interest due to its low impact on the environment and wide range of application. Camelina seeds can be used as a food ingredient and raw material for the production of oil. Chemical composition and the content of fat-soluble biologically active components of four varieties Camelina sativa (L.) seeds were investigated. The proteins content was from 25.8 % to 28.1% and carbohydrates from 32.0 to 35.4%, respectively. The oil content of the seeds was 26.8%, 27.8%, 29.2% and 29.3%, respectively. Unsaturated fatty acids, which were presented mainly as oleic (21.7 – 26.3%), linolenic (16.4 – 20.4%), linoleic (14.8 – 19.9%) and gadoleic (15.7 – 17.7%) acids, predominated in triacylglycerols. Total content of phospholipids in the oil, mainly phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidic acids was 12.0%, 12.1%, 15.0% and 16.7%, respectively. The amount of sterols was found to be 0.6% in the oil and beta-sitosterol predominated (68.3 – 71.4%) followed by campesterol (25.1 – 27.4%). Total tocopherol content was relatively higher (785 – 1075 mg/kg) than those in other seed oils. Gamma-tocopherol prevailed in tocopherol fraction in the oils (more than 90.0%).
The self-adjusting propaganda system: Toward a midrange theory of the press
Creators: name: Julian, James Patrick
Publisher: name: American University

description: This study is a macrosociological exploration into the relationship between news content and social change. News production is depicted as occurring within the context of a self-adjusting propaganda system (SAPS). The SAPS is internally hegemonic and produces propaganda in the form of news. It is self-adjusting in a triple sense: Internal hegemony is maintained through a complex negotiated order that adjusts the self-processes of SAPS actors. The negotiated order is adjusted to changes in the SAPS' social context through the joint construction of lines of action by those who work within it. Finally, the SAPS partially constructs its political, economic, and cognitive boundaries through its propaganda output. News content is conceptualized as the concrete residuals of morality, defined as a struggle between mentalities over what ought and ought not be. The internal, hegemonic morality of the SAPS consists of a business mentality struggling with a journalist mentality. This struggle is traced from the 1920s through the late 1970s in the context of a broader national morality. The national morality was found to change, in large measure with changes in news content, from one of class struggle in the 1920s to one of a fascist war against communism versus a counter-cultural war against fascism in the sixties and seventies. The domestic contributions to fighting World-War II, the war against fascism, were identified as the most significant historical events in the construction of the SAPS, its hegemonic morality, and the national morality. The interaction of establishment news (propaganda) with the broader national context was found to be changeable, at times seemingly linear in nature and at other times seemingly dialectical in nature. The dialectical nature of establishment propaganda is, in part, found to be one of the underlying factors in the development of the "sixties" resistance to domestic establishment fascism. Areas for further research are identified and research methods are discussed.

description: Solitary electromagnetic waves propagating along the waveguides forming a rhombic one-dimensional lattice are considered. Two waveguides that are part of the unit cell are assumed to be made of an optical linear material, while the third waveguide from the same array is composed of material with the cubic nonlinearity. The equations of the coupled waves spreading in each waveguide are solved under some approximation. These solutions represent the breather like solitary waves, which are akin to three component soliton.

description: Hepatitis C is the deadliest infectious disease in the United States. While there is treatment available for hepatitis C, Medicaid guidelines in many states throughout the United States place severe restrictions on who can access treatment, including Illinois. In Illinois, there are liver fibrosis restrictions, sobriety restrictions, and prescriber restrictions that all make itdifficult for patients diagnosed with hepatitis C to receive care. Brief exploration of the data for patients who have a hepatitis C diagnosis in Chicago community health centers has shown that many patients who are diagnosed with hepatitis C do not follow-up with treatment, which could be due to these statewide restrictions. However, this must be explored further to determine what barriers to care individuals diagnosed with hepatitis C are facing. In this analysis, methodsincluded chart auditing and quantitative and qualitative extractions from patient electronic health records. Results from this study found that 1) patients with Medicaid and fibrosis Stages 0 - 2 were unable to access treatment, 2) inadequate referral processes led to inefficient care cascades and gaps in patient data, and 3) date of birth, as well as a history of intravenous drug use, remain large risk factors for hepatitis C infection. The results from this study can inform improved care cascade guidelines for providers to use to best care for patients diagnosed with hepatitis C aswell as guide advocacy efforts to alleviate the restrictions that Medicaid has on treatment for those diagnosed with hepatitis C.
Coping behaviors during interactive stress in preterm and full-term infants
Creators: name: Uhly, Barbara L.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Coping behaviors of sixteen nondevelopmentally delayed preterm infants and twenty full-term infants were compared as infants interacted with their mothers, who remained still-faced and unresponsive. The 2-minute still-face interaction was videotaped, and infant behaviors were later coded each second using a slow motion video deck. Coping behaviors involved measures of visual attention to the mother and the surroundings and self comforting behaviors. Preterm and full-term infants did not differ in coping behaviors or in overall level of distress. In addition, groups did not differ in Bayley Mental and Psychomotor Development Indexes or in Infant Behavior Record factor scores for Task Orientation, Task Affect-Extraversion, or Activity (Matheny, 1983). However, perterm infants demonstrated significantly poorer motor coordination. The relationship between coping behaviors and infant and maternal characteristics was examined for preterm infants, for full-term infants, and for all infants included in analyses of coping behaviors. Longer average episode lengths of visual scanning and/or greater total time scanning during the still-face procedure were positively correlated with variables usually associated with more optimal functioning including more advance mental and motor functioning, greater task orientation, more positive affect, and smoother motor coordination. For preterm infants, greater total time focusing on objects during the still-face procedure was associated with a less task-oriented approach during administration of the Bayley.

description: We investigate the rheology of strain-hardening spherical capsules, from the dilute to the concentrated regime under a confined shear flow using three-dimensional numerical simulations. We consider the effect of capillary number, volume fraction and membrane inextensibility on the particle deformation and on the effective suspension viscosity and normal stress differences of the suspension. The suspension displays a shear-thinning behaviour which is a characteristic of soft particles such as emulsion droplets, vesicles, strain-softening capsules, and red blood cells. We find that the membrane inextensibility plays a significant role on the rheology and can almost suppress the shear-thinning. For concentrated suspensions a non-monotonic dependence of the normal stress differences on the membrane inextensibility is observed, reflecting a similar behaviour in the particle shape. The effective suspension viscosity, instead, grows and eventually saturates, for very large inextensibilities, approaching the solid particle limit. In essence, our results reveal that strain-hardening capsules share rheological features with both soft and solid particles depending on the ratio of the area dilatation to shear elastic modulus. Furthermore, the suspension viscosity exhibits a universal behaviour for the parameter space defined by the capillary number and the membrane inextensibility, when introducing the particle geometrical changes at the steady-state in the definition of the volume fraction.

description: Rice has been a staple food for more than half of the global population. Different parts of rice grains contain different amounts of macro- and micro-nutrients. Polished white rice, which is the main form of rice consumption, mainly contains starch, however, the bran and germ, which are removed during polishing, contain large amounts of micronutrients and bioactive compounds. To engineer nutritionally superior rice varieties, it is imperative to understand the spatial and temporal distribution of different nutrients in different parts of the rice grain. Keeping this in mind, in this review, we have performed a comprehensive literature review to put together all the recent findings regarding the spatio-temporal distribution of all the important micronutrients in different cell-layers/tissues of developing seeds and mature seed grains. Furthermore, we have overviewed the underlying cell-layer specific possible regulatory mechanism responsible for the loading/partitioning for each of the micronutrients into specific tissue types. Most of the nutrient filling occurs between 7 and 18 days after fertilization (DAF) through the dorsal vascular bundle and the aleurone layer. During the last few years, spatio-temporal distribution of various minerals and the role of their transporters has been studied in great detail. However, with regard to vitamins and other bioactive compounds, such studies are still very limited. Distribution of minerals in the grain is mainly regulated by the distribution of their ligands and transporters, whereas the accumulation of various vitamins is mainly metabolic enzyme activity. Collective knowledge discussed here in this niche area would help to design new studies to improve the micronutrient content located in the inner part of the seed.
