African Americans and Racial Microaggressions: Coping, Psychological Well-being, and Physical Health

description: There has been a recent surge in research on microaggressions in the lived experiences of persons who are members of historically oppressed and marginalized groups in the U.S. Research on African Americans have identified racial microaggressions such as assumptions of intelligence, assumed criminality, and social/cultural isolation that arise in educational, mental health, community, and work place settings. These incidents are particularly harmful because it is reminder to African Americans of their history of racism and their perpetual second-class status in society. Scholars propose that microaggressive incidents are injurious to targets and this can be reflective in the emotional, behavioral, and cognitive reactions to these events (i.e., microaggressive stressors). Existing research on discrimination and well-being suggests that racial discrimination contributes to disparities in mental and physical health. However, there is a need for more research to understand the impact of subtle, ambiguous racism and to identify effective strategies for buffering the effects of microaggressions.
      	The present study investigated microaggressions experienced by African Americans, the correlation to psychological and physical health outcomes for those who report microaggressions, and coping as potential buffer to the effects of these events. A correlational analysis and multiple regression analysis examined these relationships for a sample of 268 African American men and women. The results indicated support for the theory on the deleterious effects of microaggressions with the relationship between microaggressions and outcomes for psychological and physical health among African Americans. The study contributes to the literature on microaggressions by providing evidence that these encounters are harmful to African Americans. However, the moderation model did not support coping as a buffer to the effects of racial microaggressions, and it is suggested that future research investigate factors that will effectively mitigate the injurious effects of microaggressions.

description: Polycrystalline samples of LiBC compounds, which were predicted as possible candidate for high-Tc superconductivity, have been synthesised by a flux method and investigated by means of electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction patterns showed a plate-like morphology and a single-phase nature of LiBC samples for starting composition of Li1.25BC (flux composition). The lattice constants a, c display a systematic variation with x and has maximum volume of the hexagonal unit cell at x = 1.25. Electrical resistivity measurements revealed an extrinsic semi-conducting behaviour of the single-phase LiBC with an activation energy of 18 meV and a maximum specific resistivity of 2.5 Wcm at 300 K. In contrast to the theoretical prediction of high Tc, no superconducting features were detected down to 2 K both, by measurements of electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility.

description: In this work, we investigate the dynamics of vortex-induced vibration of an elastically mounted cylinder with very low values of mass and damping. We use two methods to investigate this canonical problem: first we calculate the instantaneous phase between the cylinder motion and the fluid forcing; second we decompose the total hydrodynamic force into drag and lift components that act along and normal to, respectively, the instantaneous effective angle of attack. We focus on the phase dynamics in the large-amplitude-response range, consisting of the initial, upper and lower branches of response. The instantaneous phase between the transverse force and displacement shows repeated phase slips separating periods of constant, or continuous-drifting, phase in the second half of the upper branch. The phase between the lift component and displacement shows strong phase locking throughout the large-amplitude range - the average phase varies linearly with the primary frequency - however the modulation of this phase is largest in the second half of the upper branch. These observations suggest that the large-amplitude-response dynamics is driven by two distinct limit cycles - one that is stable over a very small range of reduced velocity at the beginning of the upper branch, and another that consists of the lower branch. The chaotic oscillation between them - the majority of the upper branch - occurs when neither limit cycle is stable. The transition between the upper and lower branches is marked by intermittent switching with epochs of time where different states exist at a constant reduced velocity. These different states are clearly apparent in the phase between the lift and displacement, illustrating the utility of the force decomposition employed.

description: The term “Java” is used to denote two different concepts: the language itself and the related execution environment, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which executes byte code instructions. Several research projects deal with byte code-generating compilers or the implementation of new features via byte code transformations. Examples are code optimization, the implementation of parameterized types for Java, or the adaptation of run-time behavior through load-time transformations. Many programmers are doing this by implementing their own specialized byte code manipulation tools, which are, however, restricted in the range of their reusability. Therefore, we have developed a general purpose framework for the static analysis and dynamic creation or transformation of byte code. In this paper we present its main features and possible application areas.

description: Im Kontext der Verhandlungen der Post-2015 bzw. 2030-Agenda für nachhaltige Entwicklung und der Formulierung der Ziele nachhaltiger Entwicklung (Sustainable Development Goals, DGs) weisen die Vereinten Nationen (UN) Multi- Stakeholder-Partnerschaften erneut eine zentrale Rolle zu. Aber wie bewerten die beteiligten und betroffenen Akteure derartige Partnerschaften nach rund zehn Jahren Erfahrung? Unsere bisherige Forschung zeigt, dass transnationale Multi-Stakeholder- Partnerschaften weder so erfolgreich sind, wie ihre Befürworter behaupten, noch so ineffektiv, wie es ihre Kritiker darstellen (Beisheim/Liese 2014). Vor dem Hintergrund untersuchen wir, ob relevante Akteure dafür plädieren, dass Erkenntnisse bezüglich der Erfolgsbedingungen von Partnerschaften in entsprechende Regeln und Standards umgesetzt werden sollen, die sowohl bestehende Partnerschaften als auch zukünftige Partnerschaften anleiten könnten. Diese Art von Meta-Governance könnte sowohl von staatlichen als auch von nicht-staatlichen Akteuren auf der nationalen oder internationalen Ebene betrieben werden. Außerdem unterscheiden wir zwei unterschiedliche Funktionen von Meta-Governance: ermöglichend und sicherstellend („enabling and ensuring“). In diesem Working Paper präsentieren wir erste Einsichten zu den Perspektiven von Akteuren auf Meta-Governance für Partnerschaften. Dabei fokussieren wir auf Akteure im UN-Kontext, wo derzeit Reformen der Rahmenbedingungen für Partnerschaften debattiert werden.
description: In the context of negotiations on the Post-2015 or 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the process of formulating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations (UN) (again) assigns an important role to multi- stakeholder partnerships. But how do actors view these partnerships more than ten years after the UN’s engagement with them? Our previous research found that transnational multi-stakeholder partnerships for sustainable development are neither as successful as their proponents claim nor as ineffective as their critics argue (Beisheim/Liese 2014). In light of these findings, we ask whether relevant actors argue that lessons learned with regard to partnerships’ success conditions should be translated into rules and standards that guide the operations of existing and the development of new partnerships. This kind of meta-governance of partnerships could be exerted by state or non- state actors at the national or international level. Moreover, we distinguish between two broad functions of meta-governance: enabling and ensuring. In this paper, we present first insights into actors’ views on the meta-governance of partnerships. We focus on the actors in the UN-context, where reforms of the framework for partnerships are under debate.

description: Ubiquitous sensors and smart devices from factories and communities are generating massive amounts of data, and ever-increasing computing power is driving the core of computation and services from the cloud to the edge of the network. As an important enabler broadly changing people's lives, from face recognition to ambitious smart factories and cities, developments of artificial intelligence (especially deep learning, DL) based applications and services are thriving. However, due to efficiency and latency issues, the current cloud computing service architecture hinders the vision of "providing artificial intelligence for every person and every organization at everywhere". Thus, unleashing DL services using resources at the network edge near the data sources has emerged as a desirable solution. Therefore, edge intelligence, aiming to facilitate the deployment of DL services by edge computing, has received significant attention. In addition, DL, as the representative technique of artificial intelligence, can be integrated into edge computing frameworks to build intelligent edge for dynamic, adaptive edge maintenance and management. With regard to mutually beneficial edge intelligence and intelligent edge, this paper introduces and discusses: 1) the application scenarios of both; 2) the practical implementation methods and enabling technologies, namely DL training and inference in the customized edge computing framework; 3) challenges and future trends of more pervasive and fine-grained intelligence. We believe that by consolidating information scattered across the communication, networking, and DL areas, this survey can help readers to understand the connections between enabling technologies while promoting further discussions on the fusion of edge intelligence and intelligent edge, i.e., Edge DL.

description: We extend the analysis of [Zhou and Sornette, Physica D 165, 94-125, 2002] showing statistically significant log-periodic corrections to scaling in the moments of the energy dissipation rate in experiments at high Reynolds number ($\approx 2500$) of three-dimensional fully developed turbulence. First, we develop a simple variant of the canonical averaging method using a rephasing scheme between different samples based on pairwise correlations that confirms Zhou and Sornette's previous results. The second analysis uses a simpler local spectral approach and then performs averages over many local spectra. This yields stronger evidence of the existence of underlying log-periodic undulations, with the detection of more than 20 harmonics of a fundamental logarithmic frequency $f = 1.434 \pm 0.007$ corresponding to the preferred scaling ratio $γ= 2.008 \pm 0.006$.

 Type species: Lacerta bicarinata Linnaeus, 1758: 201.
 Neusticurus bicarinatus group: Uzzell, 1966: 311.
 Definition: Tongue with imbricate, scale-like papillae. Nostril pierced in a single nasal; nasals separated usually by paired or single frontonasals; prefrontals paired or irregular, sometimes with a diamond shaped scale between frontonasal and prefrontals; interparietal usually bordered by a pair of parietals laterally, by a series of 3-9 smaller scales posteriorly; occipitals differentiated or not; temporal scales differentiated or not, irregular, sometimes keeled; rostral large, mental and postmental single, followed by several paired chin shields; gular crease feeble or absent. Collar fold moderately to well developed. Lower eyelid developed, with a palpebral disc divided into 3-6 scales, sometimes pigmented. Tympanum slightly to deeply recessed, overhung by surrounding scales of surface of head. Dorsal scales uniformly small, or heterogeneous, imbricate, with keeled tuberculate scales, sometimes intermixed with small flat or convex scales, in longitudinal, oblique, or transverse and oblique rows. Ventral scales usually flat, rounded posteriorly, imbricate, in transverse and 8–10 longitudinal rows, lateralmost rows convex or keeled in some species. Limbs pentadactyl, digits clawed; forefoot with enlarged, plate-like scales along inner margin between thumb and wrist; under side of third and fourth toes with paired scales proximally, inner scale a rounded tubercle. Tail strongly compressed; a double caudal crest, feebly to strongly developed. Femoral and preanal pores form an unbroken series: 32–72 in males; 1-18 in females. Preanal plate in 2-3 rows, posteriormost row with 5-7 scales in both sexes. Males and females with or without conspicuous, white-centred, black-bordered ocelli on their lateral body surfaces. Hemipenis without basal hooks; flounces without minute calcareous spinules.
 Diagnosis: Neusticurus differs from members of Alopoglossinae by having its tongue covered in imbricate, scale-like papillae instead of oblique plicae (Harris, 1994), from Gymnophthalminae by having moveable eyelids, from Rhachisaurinae by having external ear openings, and from Ecpleopinae by having heterogeneous dorsal scalation. Within Cercosaurinae (sensu Castoe et al., 2004), Neusticurus differs from all genera except Echinosaura, Potamites and Teuchocercus by having heterogeneous dorsal scales.

description: Increasing demands in performance and quality make drive systems fundamental parts in the progressive automation of industrial processes. Their conventional models become inappropriate and have limited scope if one requires a precise and fast performance. So, it is important to incorporate learning capabilities into drive systems in such a way that they improve their accuracy in realtime, becoming more autonomous agents with some degree of intelligence. To investigate this challenge, this chapter presents the development of a learning control system that uses neuro-fuzzy techniques in the design of a tracking controller to an experimental electro-hydraulic actuator. We begin the chapter by presenting the neuro-fuzzy modeling process of the actuator. This part surveys the learning algorithm, describes the laboratorial system, and presents the modeling steps as the choice of actuator representative variables, the acquisition of training and testing data sets, and the acquisition of the neuro-fuzzy inverse-model of the actuator. In the second part of the chapter, we use the extracted neuro-fuzzy model and its learning capabilities to design the actuator position controller based on the feedback-error-learning technique. Through a set of experimental results, we show the generalization properties of the controller, its learning capability in actualizing in realtime the initial neuro-fuzzy inverse-model, and its compensation action improving the electro-hydraulics tracking performance.

description: Managing social and political stability is a central preoccupation of neoliberalized Latin American states. Building critically on an emerging literature on the security state, I suggest that this preoccupation increasingly takes the form of a securitization of society through both punitive and preventive means, involving not only the police and penal institutions but also civil society in partnership with an enabling state. In this paper I suggest that we stand to gain analytically from rendering visible the gendered dimension of these management functions of the state. In a context of increasing precariousness of relations of production and reproduction, the contributions of feminists and activists to the shaping of securitization efforts is undeniable. Concretely, women’s invisible and naturalized care work makes a fundamental contribution to the configuration of the Latin American neoliberalized state as a security state.

description: The study analyses the effectiveness of affordable housing as a policy tool to increase neighborhood economic diversity in New York City from 1990 to 2015. Due to limited time and data availability, it assesses neighborhood economic diversity mainly based on household income and educational attainment diversity index calculated from US census and American Community Service data. Affordable housing is the major tool adopted by local governments to improve affordability and economic diversity.  In Mayor de Blasio's new affordable housing plan, increase neighborhood economic diversity by creating more affordable units has been listed as one of the main goals. However, few previous studies discussed and verified the effectiveness of affordable housing as a tool to increase economic diversity other than its impact on neighborhood. The study, under such context, aims to examine the justification and effectiveness of this policy goal by exploring whether past affordable housing units increase led to economic diversity improvement in New York City neighborhoods. The regression analysis results of the study reveal that from 1991-2000, proportion of new affordable housing units have a statistically significant relationship with changes in economic diversity. This relationship is weakened in the later 15 years. It is also a highly volatile relationship that can be easily affected by affordable housing program types, gentrification and many other factors.

It is applied to the space of local functionals equipped with a Poisson bracket, induced by a bracket for local functions along the lines suggested by Gel'fand, Dickey and Dorfman. In this way, higher order maps are constructed which combine to form an sh Lie algebra on the graded differential algebra of horizontal forms. The same construction applies for graded brackets in field theory such as the Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky bracket of the Hamiltonian BRST theory or the Batalin-Vilkovisky antibracket.

description: Free electron laser-powered pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments performed at 240 GHz / 8.56 T on the crystalline organic radical BDPA reveal a tip-angle dependent resonant frequency. Frequency shifts as large as 11 MHz (45 ppm) are observed during a single Rabi oscillation. We attribute the frequency shifts to a "dressing" of the nutation by spin-spin interactions. A nonlinear semi-classical model which includes a temperature- and sample-geometry-dependent demagnetizing field reproduces experimental results. Because experiments are performed without a cavity, radiation damping -- the most common nonlinear interaction in magnetic resonance -- is negligible in our experiments.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: Apple juice canned or bottled in the usual way loses some of the characteristic flavor of fresh juice because of partial evaporation of the aroma. A process has been developed at the Eastern Utilization Research and Development Division of the Agricultural Research Service by which this aroma is recovered in essence form and later restored to a high-density concentrate. When reconstituted, the product resembles a high grade, clarified, single-strength juice and has the aroma of freshly pressed cider. The report presents the results of a preference experiment in which consumers were asked to rate this full-flavor apple juice concentrate in comparison with two high-grade commercial juices already available on the market. The results will be of interest to apple processors who may consider production of a high-density concentrate.

description: Recent experiments have demonstrated the nonequilibrium control of the supercurrent through diffusive phase-coherent normal-metal weak links. The experimental results have been accurately described by the quasiclassical Green's function technique in the Keldysh formalism. Taking into account the geometry of the structure, different energy scales and the nonidealities at the interfaces allows us to obtain a quantitative agreement between the theory and the experimental results in both the amplitude and the phase dependence of the supercurrent, with no or very few fitting parameters. Here we discuss the most important factors involved with such comparisons: the ratio between the superconducting order parameter and the Thouless energy of the junction, the effect of additional wires on the weak link, and the effects due to imperfections, most notably due to the nonideal interfaces.

description: PETRACOLA GEN. NOV.   Type species: Proctoporus ventrimaculatus Boulenger, 1900: 185.
 Etymology: Petracola is a masculine word derived from Latin, meaning rock dweller. It refers to the fact that these lizards are usually found beneath rocks on the ground.
 Definition: Tongue with imbricate, scale-like papillae. Head scales smooth without striations or rugosities: single frontonasal, frontal, and interparietal; paired frontoparietals and parietals; prefrontals absent; nostril pierced in a single nasal; nasals not in contact; supraoculars three or four. Eyelids developed, lower with a translucent disc, usually divided into multiple palpebral scales. Posterior gulars squarish. Limbs pentadactyl; digits clawed. Dorsal scales quadrangular, elongate, smooth, juxtaposed, forming transverse series only. Ventrals large, smooth, quadrangular, juxtaposed, forming regular longitudinal and transverse series. Femoral pores usually present in males and females, less than six per hind limb; preanal pores present or absent. Tail cylindrical.
 Diagnosis: Petracola differs from members of Alopoglossinae by having its tongue covered in imbricate, scale-like papillae instead of oblique plicae (Harris, 1994), from Gymnophthalminae by having moveable eyelids, from Rhachisaurinae by having external ear openings, and from Ecpelopinae by lacking prefrontal scales. Within Cercosaurinae (sensu Castoe et al., 2004), Petracola differs from all genera except Pholidobolus, Proctoporus, and Riama by lacking prefrontal scales. Petracola differs from Proctoporus by having smooth dorsal scales, from Pholidobolus by having juxtaposed dorsal scales and from Riama by a combination of smooth dorsal scales and femoral pores per hind limb in both sexes less than six (exclusive of preanal pores).
 Content: Petracola contains two species (Table 1).
 Distribution: Petracola is only known to occur in the Huánuco, Piura, and Cajamarca Departments of central and northern Peru.

description: In fault prognosis, the individual heterogeneity among degradation processes of equipment is a critical problem that decreases the reliability and stability of prognostic models. The presence of the diversity of degradation mechanisms, along with the complex temporal nature of multivariate measurements of equipment, make the existing approaches difficult to forecast the trend of health status and predict the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of equipment. To resolve this problem, this article proposes a dual-network approach for online RUL prediction. The proposed approach predicts the RUL by constructing a recurrent neural network (RNN) and a Feedforward Neural Network (FNN) from the degradation measurements and failure occurrence data of equipment. The RNN is used to predict the evolution of degradation measurements, whereas the FNN is used to determine the failure occurrence based on the predicted measurements. Considering the individual heterogeneity problem, a novel meta-learning procedure is proposed for network training. The main idea of the meta-learning approach is to train two network generators to capture the average behavior and variation of equipment degradation, and generate dual networks dynamically tailored to different equipment in the online RUL prediction process. Numerical studies on a simulation dataset and a real-world dataset are performed for performance evaluation.

description: Papillary Thyroid Cancer (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer accounting for 80% of all cases. The prognosis is good, with 5-year survival rates of 95%, but in some cases the tumour behaves in an aggressive manner characterized by local recurrence and/or metastasis, processes contributed to by angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is an essential physiologic activity involved in normal tissue biology and several pathologic conditions such as cardiac failure, and cancer. During carcinogenesis, tumour cells secrete pro-angiogenic factors to initiate angiogenesis. Angiogenesis also causes the migration of endothelial cells from pre-existing vessels to improve nutrient and oxygen delivery to tumours, angiogenesis has a key role in tumour growth and metastasis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a pivotal role in the control of angiogenesis, aggressiveness in thyroid cancers. The endothelins (ETs) are a family of genes inducing DNA synthesis and cellular growth in different cells, affecting vascular tone and angiogenesis. ET-1 has a direct effect on neoplastic cells by inducing cellular proliferation, migration as well as invasion and inhibition of apoptosis. ET-1 induces VEGF expression by increasing hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) stimulation.

description: Noise is source of ambiguity for fuzzy systems. Although being an important aspect, the effects of noise in fuzzy modeling have been little investigated. This paper presents a set of tests using three well-known fuzzy modeling algorithms. These evaluate perturbations in the extracted rule-bases caused by noise polluting the learning data, and the corresponding deformations in each learned functional relation. We present results to show: 1) how these fuzzy modeling systems deal with noise; 2) how the established fuzzy model structure influences noise sensitivity of each algorithm; and 3) whose characteristics of the learning algorithms are relevant to noise attenuation.

description: Fusarium head blight (FHB), commonly known as scab, is a disease affecting all classes of wheat and other small grains. We detect, and estimate the effect of, factors on the choice of number of technologies wheat farmers in North Dakota and Minnesota adopt for scab management. Farm characteristics and availability of technical information about best scab management practices are important variables. Availability of technical information and land ownership increase the odds producers concentrate scab management programs into fewer techniques. Increased wheat acreage on owned land has the opposite effect.

description: Although dietary studies are essential to design effective conservation strategies for amphibians, non-invasive studies using microscopy assessment of faecal material are known to have limitations. We assessed the use of DNA metabarcoding to determine diet in the Moroccan painted frog Discoglossus scovazzi. Nineteen families of insects were identified, and resolution of prey taxonomy to the family level identified differences between adult males and females not seen at the order level. Several prey items could be identified to the species level, providing identifications that add towards the determination of the insect diversity of the habitat. However, the 16S primers used only amplified insect prey, so a notable part of the diet could not be surveyed. Multiple markers will be needed to obtain information across the whole prey spectrum of these generalist amphibians.
Control of noise in gene expression by transcriptional reinitiation

description: Gene expression is a random or noisy process. The process consists of several random events among which the reinitiation of transcription by RNAP is an important one. The RNAP molecules can bind the gene only after the promoter gets activated by transcription factors. Several transcription factors bind the promoter to put the gene in the active state. The gene turns into inactive state as the bound transcription factors leave the promoter. During the active period of the gene, many RNAP molecules transcribe the gene to synthesize the mRNAs. The binding event of RNAP to the active state of the gene is a probabilistic process and therefore, introduces noise or fluctuations in the mRNA and protein levels. In this paper, we analytically calculate the Fano factor in mRNA and protein levels and also the probability distribution of mRNA numbers exactly with the binding event of RNAPs in gene transcription process. The analytically calculated expression of Fano factor of proteins shows excellent agreement with an experimental result. Then we show that the Fano factor in mRNA levels can be sub-Poissonian due to the reinitiation of transcription by RNAP and the mean mRNA level can be increased without increasing the Fano factor. Our study show that the Fano factor can also be reduced keeping mRNA levels fixed. We find that the reinitiation of transcription can behave as a fine-tuned control process to regulate the mRNA/protein level in the cell.

description: Polycrystalline MgB2 samples with 10 wt % silicon powder addition were prepared by an in-situ reaction process. Two different Si powders, one with coarse (44 mm) and the other with nano-size (<100 nm) particles were used for making samples. The phases, microstructures, and flux pinning were characterized by XRD, TEM, and magnetic measurements. It was observed that the samples doped with nano-sized Si powder showed a significantly improved field dependence of the critical current over a wide temperature range compared with both undoped samples and samples with coarse Si added. Jc is as high as 3000 A/cm2 in 8 T at 5 K, one order of magnitude higher than for the undoped MgB2. X-ray diffraction results indicated that Si had reacted with Mg to form Mg2Si. Nano-particle inclusions and substitution, both observed by transmission electron microscopy, are proposed to be responsible for the enhancement of flux pinning in high fields. However, the samples made with the coarse Si powders had a poorer pinning than the undoped MgB2.

description: We propose a generalization of meanders, i.e., configurations of non-selfintersecting loops crossing a line through a given number of points, to SU(N). This uses the reformulation of meanders as pairs of reduced elements of the Temperley-Lieb algebra, a SU(2)-related quotient of the Hecke algebra, with a natural generalization to SU(N). We also derive explicit formulas for SU(N) meander determinants, defined as the Gram determinants of the corresponding bases of the Hecke algebra.

description: This study investigated the body image constructions of Afro-Latinx Caribbean women who identify as Domincan, Puetro-Rican, and/or Cuban. Fifteen women participated in the research study aiming to investigate how race, gender, culture and the intersection of the three influences the conceptualization of body image for this specific population of women. A mixed methodology approach was implemented. The primary research method was analysis of qualitative data via CQR. Interviews were accompanied by four quantitative measures in order to further inform the qualitative data. The measures specifically investigated cultural values (Marianismo Belief Scale), racial identity (Multidimensional Model of Black Identity), acculturation (Stephenson Multigroup Acculturation Scale), and body image satisfaction (Stunkard Figure Rating Scale). The scales informed the data by providing information about the participant’s adherence to traditional cultural values and its intersection with gender (marianismo), the salience of their racial identity, the degree to acculturation, and ideal body image. Four domains emerged from the data, which shed light on the conceptualization and experience of body image for this group of women. The results have implications for the multicultural awareness for counselors working with Afro-Latinx Caribbean women, in addition to the psychological awareness of this group within the psychological body image research, and the many gaps which continue to need exploration.

description: We consider the interface advection problem by a prescribed velocity field in the special case when the interface intersects the domain boundary, i.e. in the presence of a contact line. This problem emerges from the discretization of continuum models for dynamic wetting. The kinematic evolution equation for the dynamic contact angle (Fricke et al., 2019) expresses the fundamental relationship between the rate of change of the contact angle and the structure of the transporting velocity field. The goal of the present work is to develop an interface advection method that is consistent with the fundamental kinematics and transports the contact angle correctly with respect to a prescribed velocity field. In order to verify the advection method, the kinematic evolution equation is solved numerically and analytically (for special cases). We employ the geometrical Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method on a structured Cartesian grid to solve the hyperbolic transport equation for the interface in two spatial dimensions. We introduce generalizations of the Youngs and ELVIRA methods to reconstruct the interface close to the domain boundary. Both methods deliver first-order convergent results for the motion of the contact line. However, the Boundary Youngs method shows strong oscillations in the numerical contact angle that do not converge with mesh refinement. In contrast to that, the Boundary ELVIRA method provides linear convergence of the numerical contact angle transport.
