description: Experimental signals of non-linear magneto-optical resonances at D1 excitation of natural rubidium in a vapor cell have been obtained and described with experimental accuracy by a detailed theoretical model based on the optical Bloch equations. The D1 transition of rubidium is a challenging system to analyze theoretically because it contains transitions that are only partially resolved under Doppler broadening. The theoretical model took into account all nearby transitions, the coherence properties of the exciting laser radiation, and the mixing of magnetic sublevels in an external magnetic field and also included averaging over the Doppler profile. Great care was taken to obtain accurate experimental signals and avoid systematic errors. The experimental signals were reproduced very well at each hyperfine transition and over a wide range of laser power densities, beam diameters, and laser detunings from the exact transition frequency. The bright resonance expected at the F_g=1 --> F_e=2 transition of Rb-87 has been observed. A bright resonance was observed at the F_g=2 --> F_e=3 transition of Rb-85, but displaced from the exact position of the transition due to the influence of the nearby F_g=2 --> F_e=2 transition, which is a dark resonance whose contrast is almost two orders of magnitude larger than the contrast of the bright resonance at the F_g=2 --> F_e=3 transition. Even in this very delicate situation, the theoretical model described in detail the experimental signals at different laser detunings.

title: Parent Perspectives on Transition Services and Expectations for Transition-Age Students with Disabilities in a Virtual School Setting
Creators: name: Raithel, Heather
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Students with disabilities often experience difficulties as they transition from school to adult life. This project examined the perspectives of parents of transition-age students with disabilities enrolled in a full-time virtual school setting. The first dependent variable was parent satisfaction with transition services for students in the virtual school including relevancy and quality of student and parent trainings and information on transition, inter-agency collaboration, community-based learning experiences, staff knowledge and communication, transition specific courses, and appropriateness of the IEP transition plan. The second dependent variable was parent expectations for students as they exit school in regards to independent living, post-secondary education or training, employment, social and leisure activities, and community involvement. Participants included 43 parents of transition-age students with disabilities at a public virtual charter school. Parent expectations and satisfaction were measured utilizing an online survey with questions using a 1-4 rating scale. Procedures involved distributing an online survey with (a) demographic information, (b) rating questions on expectations for post-school outcomes, (c) rating questions on satisfaction with transition services, and (d) open-ended questions including those on recommendations for improving transition services at the virtual school and specific parent transition concerns. Approximately 60% of the parents of students with disabilities at the virtual school surveyed had overall low expectations for post-school outcomes. Specifically, future involvement in the community was especially low with more than half of parents stating that students were “least likely” or “somewhat likely” to participate in community activities at least once per day. Additionally, parents rated transition services at the virtual school as low in regards to community-based instruction opportunities and involvement and information about outside agencies. These results may provide guidance for virtual schools in meeting the transition needs of students with disabilities and further insight into parent expectations and satisfaction in transition services for students with disabilities.
title: The past that was differs little from the past that was not: Pictographs and Petroglyphs in Cormac McCarthys Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West
Creators: name: Dilg, Cami Ann

description: This literary analysis expands the scholarly canon concerning Cormac McCarthy’s regional writing by identifying the purpose of pictographs and petroglyphs in Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West (1985). Not only do pictographs and petroglyphs tie the narrative to place, but they create a commentary regarding the erasure of Native American histories in the United States. These images record Native American memory and presence in the landscape, and by referencing them, McCarthy confronts concepts of exposure and shame, which facilitates conversations concerning Native American genocide. A close analysis of character interaction with and scene placement of these images supports this argument. I trace the shift of medium used to record pictographs and petroglyphs with emphasis on Plains Indian adornment, ledger drawings, and rock images, and I give particular attention to Apache, Comanche, Kiowa, and Shoshone actors in the United States’ national drama of land acquisition, otherwise known as Manifest Destiny.

Comparison of reconstruction methods for top-antitop pair production at ATLAS
Creators: name: Chisholm, Jenna Lori
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The Standard Model (SM) is a theory that describes the fundamental particles of our universe and their interactions. However, despite its incredible success, there is still an array of phenomena that the SM fails to explain, instigating the search for new physics that could confirm theories Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). One particle that often plays a special role in many of these BSM theories is the heaviest known fundamental particle: the top quark. Reconstruction of top quarks produced in high energy particle collisions — such as those of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) — to the best possible resolution is therefore crucial; from improved mass resolutions for bump hunting to more diagonal unfolding matrices for differential cross-section measurements, such improvements will enhance our sensitivity to BSM effects in both precision measurements and searches for new physics. This thesis presents a newly designed deep neural network (TRecNet) for the ATLAS experiment that infers the four-vectors of the top and anti-top quarks from detector-level decay products in the semi-leptonic decay channel of top anti-top pair production. The performance of TRecNet and several slight variations of the network are compared to traditional top reconstruction algorithms that are based on kinematic constraints and likelihood fits. The neural networks are shown to consistently improve upon the reconstruction precision in comparison to the likelihood-based methods, in addition to obtaining this improved precision more efficiently.

The Common Core State Standards: Comparisons of Access and Quality
Creators: name: Wasserman, Nicholas H.

Year: 2011

description: Last year the United States unveiled the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English and Mathematics for grades K–12. In particular, the authors included two possible sequences of 8–12 mathematics courses that would fulfill the standards. Most notably, the courses titled “3a” and “3b” in these two sequences have become gatekeepers to Pre-Calculus (and consequentially Calculus). Taking “3b”would not prepare students to take Pre-Calculus, but at that juncture students would be prepared for a variety of other possibilities among mathematics courses—Statistics, Finance, Modeling, Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, and Computer Science (those in “3a” would have access to all of these and Pre-Calculus). Employing Harvey & Knight’s analytic framework on educational quality, this article compares who has access to taking various high school mathematics courses in three countries: the U.S., Finland, and Singapore. Using the framework as a lens to discuss various statistics and different measures of quality, the new CCSS offer a relatively wide variety of courses for high school students, aiming to make the mathematics classes required useful to the students who take them, while simultaneously keeping options open for higher level mathematics.

title: The Impact of the 2016 Election on the Financial Performance of  Major Healthcare Companies
Creators: name: Blotter, Joshua T
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Healthcare reform was a significant political issue during the November 2016 US general elections, and played an important role in campaigning and political discourse leading to the election. Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, and Republicans running for congressional office, campaigned on a platform advocating for the repeal and replacement of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA), among other changes. Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate, and Democrats running for congressional office, campaigned on a platform that included support for the ACA, as well as increased regulations on the pharmaceutical industry and health insurers, among various other policies. Republicans achieved unexpectedly large electoral victories. In order to determine the impact of the election results on the financial health of key firms operating in health care industries, event study techniques and multivariate regressions are used to calculate and analyze cumulative abnormal returns (CARS) surrounding different event windows surrounding the election for the various relevant firms (N=402). Abnormal returns are also calculated by industry, including pharmaceutical companies, health insurers, health care providers, and medical device manufacturers. Statistically and economically significant CARs are observed for the entire sample, as well as for drug companies, health insurers, and health care providers in the short term. Firms in the pharmaceutical industry, who faced more stringent regulation under a Clinton administration, were affected the most by the election results and generated the largest positive abnormal returns in every event window considered.

description: If a discrete subset S of a topological group G with the identity 1 generates a dense subgroup of G and S \cup {1} is closed in G, then S is called a suitable set for G. We apply Michael's selection theorem to offer a direct, self-contained, purely topological proof of the result of Hofmann and Morris on the existence of suitable sets in locally compact groups. Our approach uses only elementary facts from (topological) group theory.

I also briefly discuss the action-perception cycle in the dissipative model with reference to intentionality in terms of trajectories in the memory state space.

description: We consider a silicon nanopowder based anode for a lithium ion battery cell. We present the design of the battery cell ready for in situ Raman and X-ray experiments and a technical procedure for the cell manufacturing. From the continuum mechanics point of view, this type of anode can be represented by a spherical nanoparticle surrounded by viscoelastic matrix. During the charging process this nanoparticle undergoes a chemical reaction. Based on the chemical affinity concept we describe how the mechanical properties of the matrix material influence the kinetics of the charging process. We study spherically symmetry problems numerically for different sets of matrix material parameters and show their influence on the reaction front kinetics.

description: Agriculture in Ethiopia heavily relies on rain-fed farming practices, resulting in low productivity levels that are insufficient to meet national food demands. The country's average annual grain production of 7 million tons falls short due to moisture stress, particularly in dry land areas where rainfall is seasonal and erratic. Consequently, food deficits are on the rise, exacerbated by factors such as drought and moisture deficiency. Maize, a critical cereal crop globally, holds significant importance in sub-Saharan Africa, serving as a primary source of food and livelihood for approximately 300 million people. Despite its prominence, maize production faces challenges, especially in rainfed systems prevalent across the region. To address these challenges, alternative soil moisture conservation strategies are imperative. This study aims to explore such strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of moisture deficit on maize production, particularly in Ethiopia's dry land areas. By investigating alternative approaches to conserve soil moisture, this research seeks to enhance the resilience and productivity of rainfed agriculture in the region

description: A mechanism of negative compressibility occurring in compressed layered compounds in the presence of a pressure transmitting fluid medium is discussed within a simple model. It takes into account the excluded volume effects and soft fluid-matrix repulsion. It is demonstrated that a non-monotonic behavior of the interlayer spacing with the applied pressure results from a competition between the applied pressure and the internal one induced by the adsorbed fluid. Recent experimental data on the graphite oxide "structure breathing" under compression in the presence of water are analyzed in the light of these theoretical results.

description: As one of the newest members in Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) has been applied to a range of problems. These applications mainly belong to the field of anomaly detection. However, real-time detection, a new challenge to anomaly detection, requires improvement on the real-time capability of the DCA. To assess such capability, formal methods in the research of rea-time systems can be employed. The findings of the assessment can provide guideline for the future development of the algorithm. Therefore, in this paper we use an interval logic based method, named the Duration Calculus (DC), to specify a simplified single-cell model of the DCA. Based on the DC specifications with further induction, we find that each individual cell in the DCA can perform its function as a detector in real-time. Since the DCA can be seen as many such cells operating in parallel, it is potentially capable of performing real-time detection. However, the analysis process of the standard DCA constricts its real-time capability. As a result, we conclude that the analysis process of the standard DCA should be replaced by a real-time analysis component, which can perform periodic analysis for the purpose of real-time detection.

HYDJET++ simulates relativistic heavy ion AA collisions as a superposition of the soft, hydro-type state and the hard state resulting from multi-parton fragmentation. This model is the development and continuation of HYDJET event generator. The hard parts of HYDJET and HYDJET++ are identical. The soft part of HYDJET++ contains the following important additional features as compared with HYDJET: resonance decays and more detailed treatment of thermal and chemical freeze-out hypersurfaces. HYDJET++ is capable of reproducing the bulk properties of heavy ion collisions at RHIC (hadron spectra and ratios, radial and elliptic flow, femtoscopic momentum correlations), as well as high-pT hadron spectra. Some applications of HYDJET++ at LHC are discussed.

Slouching Toward a National Curriculum

description: The U.S. school mathematics curriculum changed slowly during the last century, and only in the past few decades have there been serious efforts to establish it nationally rather than having it be, at least in principle, locally determined. Waves of change have periodically swept the curricular ocean, but on the seabed, in the classrooms where students encounter their curriculum, much less has changed. A variety of recent efforts have been undertaken to change the curriculum nationally, and the country may be close to adopting a common core of standards for the school mathematics curriculum. In view of the complexity of how the curriculum operates and how it might change—and in particular, in view of the critical role teachers of mathematics play in making

description: We present a general framework, applicable to a broad class of random walks on complex networks, which provides a rigorous lower bound for the mean first-passage time of a random walker to a target site averaged over its starting position, the so-called global mean first-passage time (GMFPT). This bound is simply expressed in terms of the equilibrium distribution at the target, and implies a minimal scaling of the GMFPT with the network size. We show that this minimal scaling, which can be arbitrarily slow for a proper choice of highly connected target, is realized under the simple condition that the random walk is transient at the target site, and independently of the small-world, scale free or fractal properties of the network. Last, we put forward that the GMFPT to a specific target is not a representative property of the network, since the target averaged GMFPT satisfies much more restrictive bounds, which forbid any sublinear scaling with the network size.

Exploring Motivational Factors for Educational Reform: Do International Comparisons Dictate Educational Policy?
Creators: name: Stachelek, AJ
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2010

description: In mathematics education, utilizing international comparisons to support implementation of educational reforms has become increasingly common. With the advent of Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), educational reform seems to have transitioned to a reactionary process rather than a calculated adaptation of current educational systems. These policy changes may be in response to a need to demonstrate international superiority, determined by these standardized tests. This paper explores the history of educational reform in Japan and Singapore to investigate possible connections between achievement levels and reforms each country made to their educational systems. Frank’s Framework will be used to guide the analysis of their educational policies with a focus on how these countries use aspects of this framework to guide reform decisions, or if they use a narrow focus on the TIMSS results. These results can then be extended to the process of reform development in the United States.

description: This paper reports a study aimed at characterizing the conditions that lead to high achievement in mathematics in India. The study involved eight schools in the greater Mumbai region. The main result of the study is that the notion of high achievement itself is problematic, as reflected in the reports about mathematics achievement within and outside India as well as the complexities of a school system which, despite democratic ideals, has difficulty serving the needs of all students. This study provides snapshots of three mathematics classes that embody some of these complexities to provide a balanced account of conditions that either support or detract from the goal of high achievement in India.

description: We present a study of X-ray AGN overdensities in 16 Abell clusters, within the redshift range 0.073= 10^{42} erg s^{-1} (at the redshift of the clusters) and within an area of 1 h^{-1}_{72} Mpc radius (excluding the core). To investigate the presence or not of a true enhancement of luminous X-ray AGN in the cluster area, we also derived the corresponding optical galaxy overdensities, using a suitable range of $r$-band magnitudes. We always find the latter to be significantly higher (and only in two cases roughly equal) with respect to the corresponding X-ray overdensities. Over the whole cluster sample, the mean X-ray point-source overdensity is a factor of ~4 less than that corresponding to bright optical galaxies, a difference which is significant at a >0.995 level, as indicated by an appropriate t-student test. We conclude that the triggering of luminous X-ray AGN in rich clusters is strongly suppressed. Furthermore, searching for optical SDSS counterparts of all the X-ray sources, associated with our clusters, we found that about half appear to be background QSOs, while others are background and foreground AGN or stars. The true overdensity of X-ray point sources, associated to the clusters, is therefore even smaller than what our statistical approach revealed.

Cosmology in the presence of strongly coupled quantum field theories

description: In this thesis, we develop a holographic method through the anti de Sitter/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence for analyzing the thermodynamic features of a class of strongly coupled quantum field theories and discuss the applications of our work for building cosmological models. We aim to explore cosmologies whose evolution is sourced by the equation of state of such class of holographic quantum field theories which are given by relevant deformations of a conformal field theory. AdS/CFT is a powerful duality which relates quantum gravity in asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes to conformal field theories (CFT) living on its boundary. Through this duality we can use classical gravity in five dimensions to tackle otherwise intractable problems on a class of strongly interacting quantum field theories in four dimensions. In our bottom up holographic approach which consists of Einstein gravity coupled to a scalar field, we find the equation of state associated to a deformation away from a conformal field theory fixed point in the UV. By analyzing the equation of state, we find that the low temperature limit is governed by a Casimir contribution with w = p/e = -1 while the high temperature behaviour is given by a conformal equation of state i.e., w=1/3. In our simplest model, we find a puzzle in the low temperature limit; the quantum field theory seems to possess negative specific heat. We believe this suggests a new branch of solutions which are beyond our semi-classical model of the bulk dual physics. We then proceed to construct a cosmological model which is sourced by holographic quantum matter. A major challenge in studying such cosmological models is that calculations via holography with dynamical background require fairly complicated numerical techniques. We simplify our construction by restricting our attention to cosmologies which expand slowly enough so that the quantum field theory remains in thermal equilibrium at all times. We characterize the parameter space in which our model would fall in this so called "quasi-static" regime. We also discuss the steps for finding the scale factor evolution sourced by the strongly coupled non-conformal matter within this scenario.

description: Accumulating evidence implicates obesity as a risk factor for increased severity of disease outcomes in patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Obesity is associated with adipose tissue dysfunction, which not only predisposes individuals to metabolic complications, but also substantially contributes to low-grade systemic inflammation, altered immune cell composition, and compromised immune function. This seems to impact the susceptibility and outcome of diseases caused by viruses, as obese people appear more vulnerable to developing infections and they recover later from infectious diseases than normal-weight individuals. Based on these findings, increased efforts to identify suitable diagnostic and prognostic markers in obese Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients to predict disease outcomes have been made. This includes the analysis of cytokines secreted from adipose tissues (adipokines), which have multiple regulatory functions in the body; for instance, modulating insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, lipid metabolism, appetite, and fertility. Most relevant in the context of viral infections, adipokines also influence the immune cell number, with consequences for overall immune cell activity and function. Hence, the analysis of the circulating levels of diverse adipokines in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 have been considered to reveal diagnostic and prognostic COVID-19 markers. This review article summarizes the findings aimed to correlate the circulating levels of adipokines with progression and disease outcomes of COVID-19. Several studies provided insights on chemerin, adiponectin, leptin, resistin, and galectin-3 levels in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients, while limited information is yet available on the adipokines apelin and visfatin in COVID-19. Altogether, current evidence points at circulating galectin-3 and resistin levels being of diagnostic and prognostic value in COVID-19 disease.

description: Luminous Infrared (IR) Galaxies (LIRGs) are an important cosmological class of galaxies as they are the main contributors to the co-moving star formation rate density of the universe at z=1. In this paper we present a GTO Spitzer IRS program aimed to obtain spectral mapping of a sample of 14 local (d<76Mpc) LIRGs. The data cubes map, at least, the central 20arcsec x 20arcsec to 30arcsec x 30arcsec regions of the galaxies, and use all four IRS modules covering the full 5-38micron spectral range. The final goal of this project is to characterize fully the mid-IR properties of local LIRGs as a first step to understanding their more distant counterparts. In this paper we present the first results of this GTO program. The IRS spectral mapping data allow us to build spectral maps of the bright mid-IR emission lines (e.g., [NeII], [NeIII], [SIII], H_2), continuum, the 6.2 and 11.3micron PAH features, and the 9.7micron silicate feature, as well as to extract 1D spectra for regions of interest in each galaxy. The IRS data are used to obtain spatially resolved measurements of the extinction using the 9.7micron silicate feature, and to trace star forming regions using the neon lines and the PAH features. We also investigate a number of AGN indicators, including the presence of high excitation emission lines and a strong dust continuum emission at around 6micron. We finally use the integrated Spitzer/IRS spectra as templates of local LIRGs. We discuss several possible uses for these templates, including the calibration of the star formation rate of IR-bright galaxies at high redshift. We also predict the intensities of the brightest mid-IR emission lines for LIRGs as a function of redshift, and compare them with the expected sensitivities of future space IR missions.

The Bologna Effect

Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2010

description: As the first decade of the groundbreaking European higher education reformation known as the Bologna Process comes to a close, its impact on the field of mathematics is significant in many ways. Mathematics degrees and programs are changing across Europe, and in some cases, with serious side effects. On the other hand, there have been considerable increases in the percentage of international students, who tend to major in mathematics and mathematics-related fields, attending European universities. The effects of the Bologna Process extend far beyond Europe, and while the changes implemented by the Bologna Process are seemingly positive for European higher education, this could prove disadvantageous for U.S. higher education. This article discusses the impact of the Bologna Process on the field of mathematics in Europe, and how the Bologna Process affects the U.S in the global competition to attract international students.
