Public Perspectives on Masking Policy in Schools
Creators: name: Zhang , Sibei
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: COVID-19 (Disease)
subject: Mask policies
subject: Students

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the U.S. government to implement mitigation strategies, including school closures and mask mandates, to reduce infections and deaths. However, discussions about COVID-19 policies are often dominated by policymakers, with limited representation from the general public. To address this gap, this study aims to explore public opinions on the impact of masking policy on school-related affairs. The study's two main research questions are: 1) What are the common topics of public discussion regarding mask policies in schools and how have they changed over time? 2) What are people's attitudes towards mask policies in schools and why? Topic modeling and sentiment analysis will be used to answer these questions and draw conclusions. The results show that topics including the need for effective interventions to inhibit COVID-19 transmission and its impact on the health and education of students are commonly discussed in the public. In addition, the majority of people endorse mask mandates in schools as it effectively safeguards the health of faculty and students. Those who oppose it have legitimate concerns.

Year: 2024

description: This Study explores the crucial role of energy-efficient power management and monitoring systems in reducing energy costs using the internet of things (IoT). These systems provide real-time feedback on operating procedures, optimise energy usage, and detect excessive consumption due to equipment failures or poor maintenance. This is essential as the cost of energy is becoming more expensive in many countries. By visualising energy consumption trends and forecasting future demand, businesses can make informed decisions. This research addresses common challenges in facility management and offers practical solutions, highlighting the importance of autonomous energy monitoring in achieving sustainable energy management.
Could non-career-focused online credentials make you more employable?

Subjects: subject: online credentials
subject: MOOCs
subject: employability

description: Online courses issuing certificates have gotten substantially more popular over recent years. However, the market value of online credentials remains ambiguous, especially regarding non-career-focused credentials such as wine tasting, personal branding, or relationship building. This study explores how non-career-focused credentials added to Social Networking (SNW) profiles impact recruiters’ perceptions of job candidates. We designed a factorial survey experiment where we randomly generated fictitious SNW profiles with varying components. We recruited people with prior working experience to share their opinion based on applicants’ profiles for Data Scientist, Software Engineer, and Financial Analyst roles. Results indicate that personal-development credentials affect recruiters’ preferences even when they are entirely unrelated to the hard skills needed for the job.
Possible solution to the riddle of HD 82943 multiplanet system: the three-planet resonance 1:2:5?

description: We carry out a new analysis of the published radial velocity data for the planet-hosting star HD82943. We include the recent Keck/HIRES measurements as well as the aged but much more numerous CORALIE data. We find that the CORALIE radial velocity measurements are polluted by a systematic annual variation which affected the robustness of many previous results. We show that after purging this variation, the residuals still contain a clear signature of an additional $\sim 1100$ days periodicity. The latter variation leaves significant hints in all three independent radial velocity subsets that we analysed: the CORALIE data, the Keck data acquired prior to a hardware upgrade, and the Keck data taken after the upgrade. We mainly treat this variation as a signature of a third planet in the system, although we cannot rule out other interpretations, such as long-term stellar activity. We find it easy to naturally obtain a stable three-planet radial-velocity fit close to the three-planet mean-motion resonance 1:2:5, with the two main planets (those in the 1:2 resonance) in an aligned apsidal corotation. The dynamical status of the third planet is still uncertain: it may reside in as well as slightly out of the 5:2 resonance. We obtain the value of $\sim 1075$ days for its orbital period and of $\sim 0.3 M_{\rm Jup}$ for its minimum mass, while the eccentric parameters are uncertain.

description: Open-Source Software results from contributions from people with all skill levels. Contributions have distinct and fundamental roles in software development. Recent studies investigate developers’ contributions (human factors) and their influence on software quality. Human aspects play an essential role in software quality. OSS projects are still produced in high quality, yet designer problems can occur. These problems are called test smells. Test smells are bad implementations or problems in the design of test code. One of the problems caused by test smells is the comprehension of test suites. Some authors have carried out studies on the developer’s perception of test smells, but the studies did not focus on the human aspects, only on how developers look at test smells. There are several studies on the quality of the test code in the literature, but there is limited empirical evidence on studies investigating the relationship between human aspects and the quality of the test code from the perspective of test smells. The goal is to conduct a family of empirical studies to investigate the relationship between human aspects and test code quality from the perspective of test smells. We will approach two methodologies based on data mining and survey/Interview study. As a result, the approach will build a guideline containing best testing practices for preventing test smells in test code.

description: This ethnographic exploration of Intrepid Philanthropy Foundation shows the impact of Intrepid’s personal investment in the lives of teachers, and how this has affirmed and empowered these grantees to be leaders in the education field, continuing to impact dozens of children in K-12 schools every day. Intrepid’s personal approach is refreshing, differing from many other foundations which invest heavily in charter schools, national advocacy groups and teacher training. This essay suggests that fostering a personal connection with grantees and building a community of like-minded individuals, would allow other small family foundations to also transform education in their own special way.

A method for proving the completeness of a list of zeros of certain L-functions

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)

subject: 11M26, 11Y35

description: When it comes to partial numerical verification of the Riemann Hypothesis, one crucial part is to verify the completeness of a list of pre-computed zeros. Turing developed such a method, based on an explicit version of a theorem of Littlewood on the average of the argument of the Riemann zeta function. In a previous paper we suggested an alternative method based on the Weil-Barner explicit formula. This method asymptotically sacrifices fewer zeros in order to prove the completeness of a list of zeros with imaginary part in a given interval. In this paper, we prove a general version of this method for an extension of the Selberg class including Hecke and Artin L-series, L-functions of modular forms, and, at least in the unramified case, automorphic L-functions. As an example, we further specify this method for Hecke L-series and L-functions of elliptic curves over the rational numbers.

Measurement of the Energy Asymmetry in Top Quark Pair plus Jet Production with the CMS Experiment

Energy Asymmetry

description: The measurement of the energy asymmetry in top quark pair production in association with one additional high-$p_{\text{T}}$ jet is presented, using 137.1 fb$^{-1}$ of data recorded with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The presented measurement focuses on the semileptonic decay process of the top quark pair and requires a boosted event topology of the $\text{t}\bar{\text{t}}j$ system. Different types of clustered final-state particles are considered for the reconstruction, having the minimal common requirement of one charged electron or muon, missing transverse momentum due to the corresponding neutrino, and one hard jet in the central region of the detector. The primary focus is to reconstruct events in the boosted regime using top tagged fat jets. If this is not possible, an attempt is taken to reconstruct events in the resolved regime with slim jets under the employment of boosted decision trees. In order to unfold the results, a reconstruction of simulated signal process events on particle level is performed either in the boosted regime, the resolved regime, or using parton information of the event. The unfolding is performed with a maximum likelihood fit, splitting the signal process into different subcategories according to the event kinematic properties on particle level. Both signal and background processes are obtained fully from simulation and the systematic uncertainties are considered as nuisance parameters in the fit. This analysis is the first measurement of the energy asymmetry and yields an observed value of \begin{align*} A_{E, \text{unf.}}^{\text{opt}} = -3.0\,\% \;^{+4.0\,\%}_{-5.5\,\%} \,(\text{stat + syst}) \end{align*} in a fiducial phase space. This result is in agreement with the corresponding SM expectation of $ A_{E}^{\text{opt}} = -1.59\,\% \pm 1.00\,\%\,\text{(stat)} \pm 0.37\,\%\,\text{(syst)}$.

description: We present a multi-wavelength study of the interstellar medium in eight nearby, X-ray and optically bright, giant elliptical galaxies. Using Herschel PACS, we map the cold gas in the lines of [CII], [OI], and [OIb]. Additionally, we present Ha+[NII] imaging of warm ionized gas with the SOAR telescope, and a study of the hot X-ray emitting plasma with Chandra. All systems with extended Ha emission in our sample (6/8 galaxies) display significant [CII] line emission indicating the presence of cold gas. This emission is co-spatial with the Ha+[NII] emitting nebulae and the lowest entropy X-ray emitting plasma. The entropy profiles of the hot galactic atmospheres show a clear dichotomy, with the systems displaying extended emission line nebulae having lower entropies beyond r~1 kpc than the cold-gas-poor systems. We show that while the hot atmospheres of the cold-gas-poor galaxies are thermally stable outside of their innermost cores, the atmospheres of the cold-gas-rich systems are prone to cooling instabilities. This result indicates that the cold gas is produced chiefly by thermally unstable cooling from the hot phase. We show that cooling instabilities may develop more easily in rotating systems and discuss an alternative condition for thermal instability for this case. The hot atmospheres of cold-gas-rich galaxies display disturbed morphologies indicating that the accretion of clumpy multiphase gas in these systems may result in variable power output of the AGN jets, potentially triggering sporadic, larger outbursts. In the two cold-gas-poor, X-ray morphologically relaxed galaxies of our sample, NGC 1399 and NGC 4472, powerful AGN outbursts may have destroyed or removed most of the cold gas from the cores, allowing the jets to propagate and deposit most of their energy further out, increasing the entropy of the hot galactic atmospheres and leaving their cores relatively undisturbed.

description: Optical spectroscopies are most often used to probe dynamical correlations in materials, but they are also a probe of symmetry. Polarization anisotropies are of course sensitive to structural anisotropies, but have been much less used as a probe of more exotic symmetry breakings in ordered states. In this paper a Jones transfer matrix formalism is discussed to infer the existence of exotic broken symmetry states of matter from their electrodynamic response for a full complement of possible broken symmetries including reflection, rotation, rotation-reflection, inversion, and time-reversal. A specific condition to distinguish the case of macroscopic time-reversal symmetry breaking is particularly important as in a dynamical experiment like optics, one must distinguish $reciprocity$ from time-reversal symmetry as dissipation violates strict time-reversal symmetry of an experiment. Different forms of reciprocity can be distinguished, but only one is a sufficient (but not necessary) condition for macroscopic time-reversal symmetry breaking. I show the constraints that a Jones matrix develops under the presence or absence of such symmetries. These constraints typically appear in the form of an algebra relating matrix elements or overall constraints (transposition, unitarity, hermiticity, normality, etc.) on the form of the Jones matrix. I work out a number of examples including the trivial case of a ferromagnet, and the less trivial cases of magnetoelectrics and vector and scalar spin "chiral" states. I show that the formalism can be used to demonstrate that Kerr rotation must be absent in time-reversal symmetric chiral materials. The formalism here is discussed with an eye towards its use in time-domain THz spectroscopy in transmission, but with small modifications it is more generally applicable.

Periodontitis and chronic kidney disease: a retrospective study of the association of diseases according to the new AAP/EFP periodontal disease classification and the Influence of successful periodontal intervention on kidney function
Creators: name: Ben Zeglam, Ebtsam
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide health burden that is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and high financial cost. There is growing evidence that has shown periodontitis could promote systemic inflammatory markers and may play a role in the pathophysiology of kidney disease. The study objectives are to explore the relationships between having kidney disease and periodontitis, examine the potential effects of periodontitis on kidney function among CKD patients, provide exploratory recommendations of the potential beneficial effect of periodontal treatment on kidney dysfunction, inform the design of a future prospective longitudinal study, and highlight the potential benefits of co-management. Methodology: A 10-year- retrospective chart review study was designed to achieve study objectives by using a repository database. A total of 397 patients who met periodontal eligibility criteria and attended periodontal services were divided into four cohorts, 258 indeterminate who had no record of kidney issues, 31 confirmed cases who had confirmed CKD diagnosis, 33 unconfirmed cases who had self-reported kidney issues, and 75 control who were non-medically compromised patients. Patient records with a reported eGFR, serum creatinine, and periodontal clinical parameters were extracted for each subject. Periodontitis was diagnosed according to the 2018 AAP/EFP new definition of periodontitis. Results: N (%) of age at baseline was 293(74%) between 50-65 years, and 89% (n=355) had periodontitis. The data suggested no evidence of an association between having kidney issues and periodontitis. However, the observed relationship between eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m2), and periodontitis showed higher proportions of periodontitis at stages G2 or above although these observations were not significant at the 0.05 level (p=>0.9). The results also revealed that age (P=0.031), sex (P=0.003), BMI (P=0.013), diabetes (P=<0.001), and heart disease (P=<0.001) were significantly associated with kidney diseases. Conclusion: In this hypothesis-generating work, data suggested that periodontitis might not be associated with the development/progression of CKD. Although the evidence was not significant at the 0.05 level, we observed that severe periodontitis was predominant among CKD individuals with more severe CKD than in those with moderate periodontitis. The study results should be interpreted with caution and more studies are needed to prove this theory.

description: The Improved Quantum Molecular Dynamics (ImQMD) model incorporated with the statistical decay model is successful in describing emission of nucleons in the intermediate energy spallation reactions, but not good enough in describing productions of light complex particles, i.e. $d$, $t$, $^3$He and $^4$He. To improve the description on emission of light complex particles, a phenomenological mechanism called surface coalescence and emission is introduced into ImQMD model: nucleon ready to escape from the compound nuclei can coalesce with the other nucleon(s) to form light complex particle and be emitted. With updated ImQMD model, the description on the experimental data of light complex particles produced in nucleon-induced reactions are great improved.

title: Modelling subsurface hydrological processes in riparian zones
Creators: name: Evans, Cristina M.
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2018

description: Soil moisture is a crucial but unseen component of the hydrologic cycle. It provides a hydrologic link and storage between surface waters and groundwater. This unexposed water sanctuary could be the key to sustain life during ever-prevalent climatic extremes. To quantify and understand the role of soil moisture in catchment hydrology, the HaughFlow model has been developed as a new tool to simulate subsurface hydrology and water flow in floodplain soils. The model is constructed to be flexible, adaptable and logically composed in order to encourage interaction from the wider scientific community. Model transparency and parsimony are key; with assumptions clearly explained and only the dominant processes simulated to limit the number of inputs required and retain efficiency. The dominant processes for hydraulically connected floodplains comprise lateral saturated flow, driven by river-stage fluctuations, and vertical unsaturated flow, driven by precipitation and evapotranspiration. HaughFlow is applied to study sites in Australia and Germany with distinct climate conditions to exhibit the model’s range of applicability. The lateral and vertical components of the model are calibrated and evaluated in detail to determine the accuracy of model outputs. Evaluation methods (i.e. graphical comparison, standard regression, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency and percentage bias) are used to suggest best practice for model calibration and the best outputs are then used to establish dominant trends in subsurface hydrology at each site; including climatic changes and the long-term effects of drought periods. Oxygen and hydrogen isotope tracers are also incorporated into the model, allowing the user to decouple the intermixed contributions from lateral and vertical processes in the soil. Observed precipitation and river isotope inputs can be used to predict actual isotope fractionation and mixing patterns in the soil. Using artificial isotope inputs, however, can be used to clearly delineate the capillary fringe and water plumes from individual rainfall events, within the soil. Hence, HaughFlow is a powerful numerical tool that can be used to establish hydrologic trends and their drivers in the soil, to understand the role of soil moisture in the hydrologic cycle. Ultimately these outputs can be used to investigate key questions in vegetative water sourcing and how plants adapt to changes in water availability.

description: The current state-of-the-art methods for Open Information Extraction are largely based on supervised learning and sequence labeling. Recently, a new branch of deep learning research has shown promising results in addressing several issues of sequence labeling, namely generative information extraction. However, there are few works that use these deep learning techniques for Portuguese. In this thesis, we propose to build both generative and sequence labeling models, train them on Portuguese data, and compare their performance in extracting Open IE relations from Portuguese texts and discuss the implications of these results for future work in Portuguese Open IE.

description: This abstract provides an overview of a study conducted on the implementation and impact of the mental health counseling program in the Redwood City School District. The study aimed to understand the role of mental health counselors in supporting the mental well-being and academic success of students. Through interviews with administrators and counselors, several key findings emerged.

The study highlighted the importance of counselors in addressing student needs and supporting mental health and well-being. Counselors played a crucial role in providing individualized support, facilitating crisis response, and coordinating care effectively. They contributed to reducing disruptions in classrooms, improving the quality of teaching and learning, and strengthening the school-family connection during challenging situations.

The findings also emphasized the need for expanded Tier 1 support to ensure all students have access to care. Counselors primarily focused on providing support to specific students, leaving some students with uneven access. The study recommended additional Tier 1 opportunities, such as implementing PBIS, Kognito, and a wellbeing center, to provide a base of support for all students.

Furthermore, the study emphasized the importance of integrating counselors into the school community and addressing low levels of service utilization. Building relationships, fostering trust, and increasing awareness of available services were identified as critical steps to increase utilization rates, particularly among marginalized groups. The study also called for collaborative efforts between schools, community organizations, and mental health providers to bridge gaps and enhance overall utilization of counseling services.

The study highlighted the need for sustained focus on mental health and well-being by establishing funding, data systems, and dedicated spaces for well-being centers. Additionally, it emphasized the importance of ongoing research to explore areas such as crisis detection, student utilization of services, and tailored support for students with disabilities.

Overall, the study underscored the district's commitment to supporting the mental health and well-being of its diverse student population. By actively involving stakeholders, leveraging data, and prioritizing collaboration, the district aims to continue improving its mental health counseling program to meet the evolving needs of students, families, and communities.

description: We present an efficient algorithm for the inference of stochastic block models in large networks. The algorithm can be used as an optimized Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, with a fast mixing time and a much reduced susceptibility to getting trapped in metastable states, or as a greedy agglomerative heuristic, with an almost linear $O(N\ln^2N)$ complexity, where $N$ is the number of nodes in the network, independent on the number of blocks being inferred. We show that the heuristic is capable of delivering results which are indistinguishable from the more exact and numerically expensive MCMC method in many artificial and empirical networks, despite being much faster. The method is entirely unbiased towards any specific mixing pattern, and in particular it does not favor assortative community structures.

title: Studying a contractile actomyosin network underlying larval epithelial cell behaviour coordination during Drosophila abdominal morphogenesis

description: During animal development, cells undergo various behaviours, such as migration and shape change, which need to be coordinated. How this coordination is achieved is still elusive. During morphogenesis of the adult abdominal epidermis of Drosophila, the larval epithelial cells (LECs) are replaced by the adult histoblasts. The LECs migrate directedly and, subsequently, cease migration, constrict apically and die. Here, I use in vivo 4D microscopy to study the spatial and temporal organisation of the actomyosin cytoskeleton of LECs as a potential mechanism to coordinate migration and apical constriction. The analysis of LECs apical actomyosin network shows that are planar polarized during migration, undergoing pulsed contractions in the back of the cell, while protruding at the front. During constriction, the cytoskeleton of LECs displays radial polarity with contractions localising in the centre of the cell. Behavioural change, thus, involves a change in the polarity of the contractile network. The properties of the contractile network are further studied manipulating actomyosin contractility by interfering with Rho kinase and Myosin phosphatase. The results show that the regulation of Myosin activation not only impacts on the contractility of the network but also on the network’s dynamics and the cell’s behaviour. A loss-of-function analysis of several Rho-GEFs, the activators of the Rho GTPases, is performed to study the molecular mechanisms that underlie the behavioural change. The depletion of individual RhoGEFs identifies 5 genes involved in the regulation of specific aspects of cell migration and the apical constriction of LECs. Altogether, the results suggest that cytoskeletal architecture and autonomous network dynamics underlie the behaviour of the contractile network. The results furthermore suggest that pulsed contractions, along with the cortical actomyosin network, underlie behavioural change, being one of the force generation mechanisms that orchestrate abdominal morphogenesis.

subject: Algebra--Study and teaching (Secondary)

description: Algebra 1 holds significant importance as a mathematics course due to its content and its potential impact on students' long-term outcomes. Thus, monitoring students' achievement in Algebra 1 becomes crucial. Digital learning products have made tracking such progress more accessible, but there is a limited body of research exploring the distinct features of digital learning product data and their influence on measurement. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing item response data obtained from a K-12 learning platform to understand students’ growth in Algebra 1, considering the unique characteristics of response patterns.

Mixed-effect logistic regression models were employed to estimate students’ initial abilities and growth. Additional specifications were implemented to control for item difficulties and address extended response gaps. The findings of the models suggested that an average student's learning rate aligns with the rate of increase in item difficulties. The study also discussed its limitations and suggestions for data quality enhancement.

title: Design and study of novel gold complexes for efficient catalytic process towards the activation of alkynes
Creators: name: Gasperini, Danila
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2018

description: Gold has emerged as valuable tool for chemists. The physico-chemical properties of the metal centre make it exceptionally prone to activate multiple bonds, such as alkynes and alkenes. Thus, its utility in catalysis has been exploited together with the synthesis of suitable catalysts to allow new, efficient transformations, and the understanding of their intrinsic mechanisms. Reported in this thesis are efforts to this goal, such as the design and study of new Au(I) and Au(III) complexes towards functionalisation of alkynes. The development of new catalytic systems is tackled in Chapter 2. An efficient method for the intermolecular hydrocarboxylation of alkynes catalysed by dinuclear Au-NHC species to access diverse vinyl esters in excellent yield and stereoselectivity is described. The successful methodology is followed by the straightforward intramolecular hydrocarboxylation of alkynoic acids to allow the stereoselective and regioselective synthesis of γ-, δ- and ε-lactones in high yield. Initial mechanistic studies into the hydrocarboxylation of alkynes are shown in Chapter 3. The discovery and characterisation of novel dinuclear gold carboxylates species is described, and their role in the catalytic inter- and intramolecular process is investigated. Chapter 4 highlights the synthesis of novel Au complexes bearing chiral isothiourea ligands. Neutral and heteroleptic Au(I) and Au(III) species are obtained in excellent yield, and their solution and solid-state behaviour studied, together with their electronic and steric properties. Further testing towards activation and functionalisation of alkynes and propargylic derivatives are shown. Dual catalytic processes involving Au and isothiourea catalysts are presented in Chapter 5. Attempts towards Lewis acid/Lewis base activation of multiple bond derivatives and activated esters towards the formation of new C-C bonds is described. The synthesis of organogold compounds, bearing NHC ligands, is described in Chapter 6. Through deprotonation of C(sp³ )-H bonds, a series of stable gold(I) complexes was synthesised and found to be suitable synthons to different gold species. Finally, the redox chemistry of organogold species is explored.

description: Hadwiger integrals employ the intrinsic volumes as measures for integration of real-valued functions. We provide a formula for the expected values of Hadwiger integrals of Gaussian-related random fields. The expected Hadwiger integrals of random fields are both theoretically interesting and potentially useful in applications such as sensor networks, image processing, and cell dynamics. Furthermore, combining the expected integrals with a functional version of Hadwiger's theorem, we obtain expected values of more general valuations on Gaussian-related random fields.

A Challenging Solar Eruptive Event of 18 November 2003 and the Causes of the 20 November Geomagnetic Superstorm. II. CMEs, Shock Waves, and Drifting Radio Bursts

description: We continue our study (Grechnev et al. (2013), doi:10.1007/s11207-013-0316-6; Paper I) on the 18 November 2003 geoffective event. To understand possible impact on geospace of coronal transients observed on that day, we investigated their properties from solar near-surface manifestations in extreme ultraviolet, LASCO white-light images, and dynamic radio spectra. We reconcile near-surface activity with the expansion of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and determine their orientation relative to the earthward direction. The kinematic measurements, dynamic radio spectra, and microwave and X-ray light curves all contribute to the overall picture of the complex event and confirm an additional eruption at 08:07 - 08:20 UT close to the solar disk center presumed in Paper I. Unusual characteristics of the ejection appear to match those expected for a source of the 20 November superstorm but make its detection in LASCO images hopeless. On the other hand, none of the CMEs observed by LASCO seem to be a promising candidate for a source of the superstorm being able to produce, at most, a glancing blow on the Earth's magnetosphere. Our analysis confirms free propagation of shock waves revealed in the event and reconciles their kinematics with "EUV waves" and dynamic radio spectra up to decameters.

description: In this work we look at the low lying nuclear structure of several N=Z nuclei residing between the doubly magic nucei ^{40} Ca and ^{100} Sn. Using large shell model codes we calculate and discuus the systematics of enegies. We show energy levels, B(E2)'s, static quadrupule moments and g factors. In all cases we compare the results of 2 different interactions which yield significanly different occupation numbers. We compare with the simplest versions of the rotational and vibrational models. By examinnig B(E2)'s and static quadrupole moments we make associations with collective models find that in the model space here considered ,{}^{88} Ru is oblate . The quadruple moment of ^{92} Pd is very small consistent with the vibrational model.
