description: Theories that attempt to unify the four fundamental interactions and alternative theories of gravity predict time and/or spatial variation of the fundamental constants of nature. Different versions of these theories predict different behaviours for these variations. In consequence, experimental and observational bounds are an important tool to check the validity of such proposals. In this paper, we review constraints on the possible variation of the fundamental constants from astronomical observations and geophysical experiments designed to test the constancy of the fundamental constants of nature over different timescales. We also focus on the limits that can be obtained from white dwarfs, which can constrain the variation of the constants with the gravitational potential.

description: Study abroad has been a significant educational experience for many years impacting student development and intercultural competence. Over the years, however, the traditional study abroad experience has transformed and expanded offering more students different opportunities to travel and learn abroad. Specifically, the emergence of international service learning (ISL) and short term, international alternative break programs have addressed the needs of students looking for more "hands-on" experiences as well as those students seeking short term opportunities that may better suit their financial and educational needs. These new developments, however, must be examined in order to maintain ethical standards of practice while offering students the best learning opportunities available. In order to address this need, universities are responsible to investigate the motivations and outcomes of the different stakeholders included in the different study abroad programs, namely the student participants and the host communities.

description: An apparatus for measuring parity-violating asymmetries in gamma-ray emission following polarized cold neutron capture was constructed as a 1/10th scale test of the design for the forthcoming n+p->d+gamma experiment at LANSCE. The elements of the polarized neutron beam, including a polarized 3He neutron spin filter and a radio frequency neutron spin rotator, are described. Using CsI(Tl) detectors and photodiode current mode readout, measurements were made of asymmetries in gamma-ray emission following neutron capture on 35Cl, 113Cd, and 139La targets. Upper limits on the parity-allowed asymmetry $s_n \cdot (k_γ \times k_n)$ were set at the level of 7 x 10^-6 for all three targets. Parity-violating asymmetries $s_n \cdot k_γ$ were observed in 35Cl, A_gamma = (-29.1 +- 6.7) x 10^-6, and 139La, A_gamma = (-15.5 +- 7.1) x 10^-6, values consistent with previous measurements.

description: This study examines the UK requirements for labeling, testing, and processing novel foods, providing background on the evolution of novel foods and assessing government regulations, labeling, safety testing, and processing technology. A systematic review of 57 studies on novel food regulations and 31 studies on policy documents finds that compliance with labeling rules, rigorous safety testing, and advanced processing techniques are critical for novel foods to be acceptable and successfully reach the UK market. The research shows that novel foods face more stringent regulatory requirements compare to conventional foods to ensure they are safe, labeled properly, and pose no public health risks before being allowed into the UK. Overall, the unique regulatory framework for novel foods in the UK manages their entry into the UK market through comprehensive regulations for labeling, testing, and processing that differ from conventional food requirements. The study provides insight into how the specialized novel food system aims to enable innovation while protecting consumers.

description: The paper examines factors affecting trust among the Hungarian agricultural producers. Our research has focused on the role of two factors on the basis of the widely referred trust model: faith in loyalty and faith in capability. The empirical results clearly confirm the hypothesis of the theoretical model, which states that partners will trust each other if their faith is high both in loyalty and in competence. Our research has also pointed out that the level of trust between partners is determined differently by the two examined factors: it is statistically proved that the impact of faith in loyalty is higher than the other factor. These research results fully correspond to the outcomes of recent research projects in the similar field. Poddano ocenie czynniki wpływające na zaufanie wśród węgierskich producentów rolnych. Wykorzystując model zaufania Sholtersa badania skoncentrowano na roli dwóch czynników: wiary w lojalność i kompetencji rolników. Badania ankietowe online przeprowadzono latem 2015 roku, wśród 5902 podmiotów. Wyniki badań potwierdziły hipotezę, że partnerzy sobie ufają, pod warunkiem, że bardzo wierzą zarówno w lojalność, jak i w kompetencje innych producentów. Wskazano również, że wpływ wiary w lojalność ma większy wpływ na zaufanie między producentami rolnym niż pozostałe czynniki, co jest zgodne z wynikami innych projektów badawczych w tym obszarze.
The seismological signature of cyclonic storms through the ears of a sensor array

description: Under certain conditions, ocean surface gravity waves (SGW) interact with the seaﬂoor underneath to trigger relatively faint but measurable seismic waves known as ocean microseisms. Cyclonic storms (e.g. hurricanes, typhoons) wandering over the ocean are major (non-stationary) sources of the former, thus opening the possibility of tracking and studying cyclones by means of their corresponding microseims. For this purpose, we identified storm-related microseisms hidden in the ambient seismic wavefield via array processing. Polarization beamforming, a robust and well-known technique is implemented. The analyses hinge on surface waves (Love and Rayleigh) which, in contrast to P-waves, are stronger but only constrain direction of arrival (without source remoteness). We use a few land-based virtual seismic arrays surrounding the North Atlantic to investigate the signatures of major hurricanes in the microseismic band (0.05-0.16 Hz), in a joint attempt to continuously triangulate their tracks. Our ﬁndings show that storm microseisms are intermittently excited with modulated amplitude at localized oceanic regions, particularly over the shallow continental shelves and slopes, having maximum amplitudes virtually independent of storm category. In most cases no detection was possible over deep oceanic regions, nor at distant arrays. Additionally, the rear quadrants and trailing swells of the cyclone provide the optimum SGW spectrum for the generation of microseisms, often shifted more than 500 km off the "eye". As a result of the aforementioned and added to the strong attenuation of storm microseisms, the inversion of tracks or physical properties of storms using a few far-ﬁeld arrays is discontinuous in most cases, being reliable only if benchmark atmospheric and/or oceanic data is available for comparison. Even if challenging due to the complexity of the coupled phenomena responsible for microseisms, the inversion of site properties, such as bathymetric parameters (e.g. depth, seabed geomorphology), near- bottom geology or SGW spectrum might be possible if storms are treated as natural sources in time-lapse ambient noise investigations. This will likely require near-ﬁeld (land and underwater) observations using optimal arrays or dense, widespread sensor networks. Improved detection and understanding of ocean microseisms carries a great potential to contribute to mechanically coupled atmosphere-ocean-earth models.

description: Evidence from the WMAP polarization data indicates that the Universe may have been reionized at very high redshift. It is often suggested that the ionizing UV flux originates from an early population of massive or very massive stars. Depending on their mass, such stars can explode either as type II supernovae or pair-instability supernovae, or may entirely collapse into a black hole. The resulting neutrino emission can be quite different in each case. We consider here the relic neutrino background produced by an early burst of Population III stars coupled with a normal mode of star formation at lower redshift. The computation is performed in the framework of hierarchical structure formation and is based on cosmic star formation histories constrained to reproduce the observed star formation rate at redshift z \la 6, the observed chemical abundances in damped Lyman alpha absorbers and in the intergalactic medium, and to allow for an early reionization of the Universe at z \sim 10-20. We find that although the high redshift burst of Population III stars does lead to an appreciable flux of neutrinos at relatively low energy (E_ν\approx 1 MeV), the observable neutrino flux is dominated by the normal mode of star formation. We also find that predicted fluxes are at the present level of the SuperK limit. As a consequence, the supernova relic neutrino background has a direct impact on models of chemical evolution and/or supernova dynamics.

description: We classify all supersymmetric solutions of minimal gauged supergravity in four dimensions. There are two classes of solutions that are distinguished by the norm of the Killing vector constructed from the Killing spinor. If the Killing vector is timelike, the solutions are determined by the geometry of a two-dimensional base-manifold. When it is lightlike, the most general BPS solution is given by an electrovac AdS travelling wave. This supersymmetric configuration was previously unknown. Generically the solutions preserve one quarter of the supersymmetry. Also in the timelike case we show that there exist new BPS solutions, which are of Petrov type I, and are thus more general than the previously known type D configurations. These geometries can be uplifted to obtain new solutions of eleven-dimensional supergravity.

description: Appreciative leadership is a leadership style that focuses on recognizing and building upon strengths, fostering positive relationships, and creating a supportive work environment. Understanding how public-school teachers perceive appreciative leadership is essential for enhancing leadership practices in educational settings. This qualitative research study aimed to explore how public-school teachers perceive appreciative leadership through a grounded theory approach. The study seeks to uncover the factors that shape these perceptions and provide insights into the experiences of teachers within an appreciative leadership framework. The study utilized a grounded theory methodology, which involves conducting interviews with a diverse sample of public-school teachers. Data collection and analysis follow the iterative process of grounded theory, including open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The participants' responses are analyzed to identify common themes, categories, and theoretical explanations. The analysis of the data reveals the various ways in which public school teachers perceive appreciative leadership. Themes related to the teachers' experiences, the impact of appreciative leadership on their work environment and job satisfaction, and the factors influencing their perceptions emerge from the data. This research provides valuable insights into the perceptions of public-school teachers regarding appreciative leadership. The findings contribute to the existing literature by highlighting the importance of fostering positive leadership practices in educational settings. The study concludes with implications for educational leaders and policymakers, emphasizing the need to consider the perspectives of teachers and implement appreciative leadership strategies.

Year: 2023

description: Memorials communicate nationalism everyday by embodying a society's collective memory of a historical event. Traditionally, memorials are thought to communicate a nation's past and convey a shared sense of national identity. This humanistic case study seeks to investigate and analyze if and how globalization impacts sentiments of nationalism at a tourist site. Specifically, the March 11, 2004 Madrid Memorial is examined for its context, design, and location/space. This paper derives from a multi-method data collection in which two formal and 25 informal interviews are conducted. Document analysis of a postcard, tourist maps, online wikis, and pamphlets are also examined. The results indicate that respondents felt global sentiments at the March 11 Memorial, more so than their national identity. Finally, the conscious identification with global ideals at this Memorial signifies that globalization is continuing to intensify and alter how individuals within a society remember and commemorate a tragic event.

description: The extraction of the relative abundances of short-range correlated (SRC) nucleon pairs from inclusive electron scattering is studied using the generalized contact formalism (GCF) with several nuclear interaction models. GCF calculations can reproduce the observed scaling of the cross-section ratios for nuclei relative to deuterium at high-$x_B$ and large-$Q^2$, $a_2=(σ_A/A)/(σ_d/2)$. In the non-relativistic instant-form formulation, the calculation is very sensitive to the model parameters and only reproduces the data using parameters that are inconsistent with ab-initio many-body calculations. Using a light-cone GCF formulation significantly decreases this sensitivity and improves the agreement with ab-initio calculations. The ratio of similar mass isotopes, such as $^{40}$Ca and $^{48}$Ca, should be sensitive to the nuclear asymmetry dependence of SRCs, but is found to also be sensitive to low-energy nuclear structure. Thus the empirical association of SRC pair abundances with the measured $a_2$ values is only accurate to about $20\%$. Improving this will require cross-section calculations that reproduce the data while properly accounting for both nuclear structure and relativistic effects.

The Mathieu unit cell as a template for low emittance lattices
Creators: name: Riemann, B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Accelerator Physics (physics.acc-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The multi-bend achromat (MBA), which often serves as a building block for modern low-emittance storage rings, is composed of a repetition of unit cells with optimized optical functions for low emittance in the achromat center, as well as end cells for dispersion and optics matching to insertion devices. In this work, we describe the simplest stable class of unit cells that are based on a longitudinal Fourier expansion, transforming Hill equations to Mathieu equations. The resulting cell class exhibits continuously changing dipolar and quadrupolar moments along the beam path. Although this elementary model is defined by only three parameters, it captures a significant amount of notions that are applied in the design of MBAs. This is especially interesting as Mathieu cells can be viewed as an elementary extension of Christofilos' original model of alternating-gradient focusing, while their sinusoidal bending and focusing functions lend themselves to future applications in undulator-like structures. Mathieu cells can be used to estimate the range of reasonable cell tunes and put an emphasis on the combination of longitudinal gradient bending and reverse bending, as well as on strong horizontal focusing to reach emittances lower than the classic theoretical minimum emittance cell. Furthermore, the lowest emittances in this model are accompanied by small absolute momentum compaction factors.

This is related to the reconstruction conjecture for graphs and the degree-associated reconstruction conjecture for digraphs. We show that the reconstruction conjecture implies our game conjecture with $n=3$ for graphs, and the same is true for the degree-associated reconstruction conjecture and our conjecture for digraphs.

description: Our goal was to identify discrete clinical characteristics associated with safe discharge from an emergency department/urgent care for patients with a history of cancer and concurrent COVID-19 infection during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and prior to widespread vaccination. We retrospectively analyzed 255 adult patients with a history of cancer who presented to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) urgent care center (UCC) from March 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020 with concurrent COVID-19 infection. We evaluated associations between patient characteristics and 30-day mortality from initial emergency department (ED) or urgent care center (UCC) visit and the absence of a severe event within 30 days. External validation was performed on a retrospective data from 29 patients followed at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center that presented to the local emergency department. A late cohort of 108 additional patients at MSKCC from June 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021 was utilized for further validation. In the MSKCC cohort, 30-day mortality and severe event rate was 15% and 32% respectively. Using stepwise regression analysis, elevated BUN and glucose, anemia, and tachypnea were selected as the main predictors of 30-day mortality. Conversely, normal albumin, BUN, calcium, and glucose, neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio <3, lack of (severe) hypoxia, lack of bradycardia or tachypnea, and negative imaging were selected as the main predictors of an uneventful course as defined as a Lack Of a Severe Event within Thirty Days (LOSETD). Utilizing this information, we devised a tool to predict 30-day mortality and LOSETD which achieved an area under the operating curve (AUC) of 79% and 74% respectively. Similar estimates of AUC were obtained in an external validation cohort. A late cohort at MSKCC was consistent with the prior, albeit with a lower AUC We identified easily obtainable variables that predict 30-day mortality and the absence of a severe event for patients with a history of cancer and concurrent COVID-19. This has been translated into a bedside tool that the clinician may utilize to assist disposition of this group of patients from the emergency department or urgent care setting.

description: Graph generation with Machine Learning is an open problem with applications in various research fields. In this work, we propose to cast the generative process of a graph into a sequential one, relying on a node ordering procedure. We use this sequential process to design a novel generative model composed of two recurrent neural networks that learn to predict the edges of graphs: the first network generates one endpoint of each edge, while the second network generates the other endpoint conditioned on the state of the first. We test our approach extensively on five different datasets, comparing with two well-known baselines coming from graph literature, and two recurrent approaches, one of which holds state of the art performances. Evaluation is conducted considering quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the generated samples. Results show that our approach is able to yield novel, and unique graphs originating from very different distributions, while retaining structural properties very similar to those in the training sample. Under the proposed evaluation framework, our approach is able to reach performances comparable to the current state of the art on the graph generation task.

One of the most common complaints by a woman to her ob-gyn includes symptoms of depression. This study assessed ob-gyns' knowledge and practice patterns regarding Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Physician communication of anti-depressant information, and perceived numeric ability were also assessed. Surveys were sent to 220 members of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Response rate was 66%. Few (40%) ob-gyns indicated using standardized screening tools for depression. The majority (89%) of ob-gyns do not employ the DSM-IV to confirm a diagnosis of MDD, or before prescribing anti-depressants. Number of previous MDD diagnoses was not associated with estimation of prevalence rates. Physicians are relaying balanced treatment information to patients and are not utilizing numeric formats in a persuasive manner. More research is needed to assess the role of numeric ability in depression care.

description: Abstract: However by colonisation and utilization the once very large-area peatland not only has become decimated in the dimension, but also has got degraded until today by negative influences. Conservation programs, legal protection and renaturation measures could stop the continuous degeneration as far as possible in single areas, but in part only with rather poor results. Against the background of the overfertilizing of inland and coastal waters, the problems with change in climate and the always getting worse usefulness moor grassland an actually program for protection of peatlands was developed. By a better financing, supported by the EU, combined with many years of experience with the realizing and effects of different measures and by developing new methods for peatland renaturation last years a few sustainable rewetting projects have been taken with good success in short time.
description: Zusammenfassung: Die einst großflächigen Moore in Schleswig-Holstein sind durch Besiedlung und Nutzung nicht nur in ihrer Ausdehnung stark dezimiert worden, sondern es wirken auch heute noch negative Einflüsse auf sie ein, die zu mehr oder weniger starken Degradierungen führen. Schutzprogramme, gesetzliche Unterschutzstellung und Renaturierungsmaßnahmen konnten in einzelnen Gebieten die weitere Degeneration weitgehend unterbinden, teilweise aber nur mit mäßigem Erfolg. Vor dem Hintergrund der Überdüngung von Binnen- und Küstengewässern, der Problematik des Klimawandels und der immer schlechteren Nutzbarkeit des Moorgrünlandes wurde ein aktuelles Moorschutzprogramm für Hoch- und Niedermoore erarbeitet. Durch eine verbesserte, durch die EU geförderte Finanzierung gepaart mit langjährigen Erfahrungen mit der Umsetzung und Wirkung verschiedener Maßnahmen und durch die Entwicklung neuer Methoden zur Moorrenaturierung sind in den letzten Jahren jedoch einige nachhaltige Wiedervernässungsprojekte mit guten Erfolgen in kurzer Zeit durchgeführt worden.

description: Our goal was to identify discrete clinical characteristics associated with safe discharge from an emergency department/urgent care for patients with a history of cancer and concurrent COVID-19 infection during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and prior to widespread vaccination. We retrospectively analyzed 255 adult patients with a history of cancer who presented to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) urgent care center (UCC) from March 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020 with concurrent COVID-19 infection. We evaluated associations between patient characteristics and 30-day mortality from initial emergency department (ED) or urgent care center (UCC) visit and the absence of a severe event within 30 days. External validation was performed on a retrospective data from 29 patients followed at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center that presented to the local emergency department. A late cohort of 108 additional patients at MSKCC from June 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021 was utilized for further validation. In the MSKCC cohort, 30-day mortality and severe event rate was 15% and 32% respectively. Using stepwise regression analysis, elevated BUN and glucose, anemia, and tachypnea were selected as the main predictors of 30-day mortality. Conversely, normal albumin, BUN, calcium, and glucose, neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio <3, lack of (severe) hypoxia, lack of bradycardia or tachypnea, and negative imaging were selected as the main predictors of an uneventful course as defined as a Lack Of a Severe Event within Thirty Days (LOSETD). Utilizing this information, we devised a tool to predict 30-day mortality and LOSETD which achieved an area under the operating curve (AUC) of 79% and 74% respectively. Similar estimates of AUC were obtained in an external validation cohort. A late cohort at MSKCC was consistent with the prior, albeit with a lower AUC We identified easily obtainable variables that predict 30-day mortality and the absence of a severe event for patients with a history of cancer and concurrent COVID-19. This has been translated into a bedside tool that the clinician may utilize to assist disposition of this group of patients from the emergency department or urgent care setting.

Confederate Nationalism in Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia During the American Civil War, 1861-1865
Creators: name: Garrett, Lynette Ann
Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 4303
subject: Historical studies

description: This dissertation revolves around the construction of Confederate identity in the states of Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia and adds regional specificity into the discussion of Confederate nationalism. The "hodgepodge" nature of the Confederacy only emphasized the importance of understanding the foundation of Confederate nationalism and its uniformity, not regional variations. Whether or not Confederate identity formation during the war transcended state and regional variation or differed from place to place within these three Confederate states is the important question this study addresses. Confederate nationalism was not monolithic. Instead, this project identifies five themes which allowed southerners in the states of Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia to construct an identity for themselves as Confederate citizens which they believed differed from the identity of their American counterparts. The five themes of Confederate nationalism were the American Revolution, religion, slavery, white supremacy, and states' rights. The five themes needed to accentuate the common connections which bonded citizens in the Confederacy together, highlight the differences between Confederate and American citizens, and provide justification for the war. The first four themes of Confederate nationalism promoted unity regardless of geographic location while the fifth theme of Confederate identity, states' rights, proved to be divisive. Within the state of Georgia, Governor Joseph E. Brown waged a campaign against conscription and the suspension of habeas corpus; two governmental policies he believed were detrimental to states' rights. In addition to questions about Confederate identity formation, this project also explores the lives of free African Americans and Jews who called these three states of the Confederacy their home. This study adds free African Americans back into the historical narrative of Confederate nationalism and re-examines their role in the seceded states in detail. This dissertation asks how the presence of free people of color and Jews impacted Confederate nationalism. Did the presence of free African Americans and Jews sustain or hinder Confederate nationalism in Georgia, Virginia, and Louisiana during the Civil War?
