description: We develop a new probabilistic method for deriving deviation estimates in directed planar polymer and percolation models. The key estimates are for exit points of geodesics as they cross transversal down-right boundaries. These bounds are of optimal cubic-exponential order. We derive them in the context of last-passage percolation with exponential weights with near-stationary boundary conditions. As a result, the probabilistic coupling method is empowered to treat a variety of problems optimally, which could previously be achieved only via inputs from integrable probability. As applications in the bulk setting, we obtain upper bounds of cubic-exponential order for transversal fluctuations of geodesics, and cube-root upper bounds with a logarithmic correction for distributional Busemann limits and competition interface limits. Several other applications are already in the literature.

description: We present CARMA 2.9 mm dust continuum emission observations of a sample of 14 Herschel-detected Class 0 protostars in the Orion A and B molecular clouds, drawn from the PACS Bright Red Sources (PBRS) sample (Stutz et al.). These objects are characterized by very red 24 \micron\ to 70 \micron\ colors and prominent submillimeter emission, suggesting that they are very young Class 0 protostars embedded in dense envelopes. We detect all of the PBRS in 2.9 mm continuum emission and emission from 4 protostars and 1 starless core in the fields toward the PBRS; we also report 1 new PBRS source. The ratio of 2.9 mm luminosity to bolometric luminosity is higher by a factor of $\sim$5 on average, compared to other well-studied protostars in the Perseus and Ophiuchus clouds. The 2.9 mm visibility amplitudes for 6 of the 14 PBRS are very flat as a function of uv-distance, with more than 50\% of the source emission arising from radii $

Equivariant triangulations of tori of compact Lie groups and hyperbolic extension to non-crystallographic Coxeter groups

Subjects: subject: Algebraic Topology (math.AT)

description: Given a simple connected compact Lie group $K$ and a maximal torus $T$ of $K$, the Weyl group $W=N_K(T)/T$ naturally acts on $T$. First, we use the combinatorics of the (extended) affine Weyl group to provide an explicit $W$-equivariant triangulation of $T$. We describe the associated $W$-dg-ring. For a non-crystallographic Coxeter group, using compact hyperbolic extensions rather than affine ones, we construct a compact $W$-manifold $\mathbf{T}(W)$, which is an analogue of a torus for $W$. We exhibit a $W$-equivariant triangulation of $\mathbf{T}(W)$ and compute the associated $W$-dg-ring. Also, we derive its homology representation.

Science Diplomacy in the European Union: Practices and Prospects
Creators: name: Flink, Tim
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018
Subjects: European Science Diplomacy

description: The European Commission has recently started to revamp its institutional setting and policies, also in order to engage more explicitly in science diplomacy (SD). While this initiative has been appreciated, it comes along with a variety of challenges. This policy brief identifies three particular and interrelated challenges pertaining to SD in the European Union: (i) defining science diplomacy as a variable, yet encompassing and succinct framework, (ii) the coordination between member states and the EU, and (iii) the training of staff engaging in SD. First, it is key to comprehend that SD is a variable but not an arbitrary concept. We suggest conceptualizing SD by applying a meta-governance framework that is sensitive to changing configurations of actors, governance arrangements and policy practices in a case-specific way. Second, the Commission and the member states institutions are advised to re-visit and clarify where and how SD should be applied in a coordinated way given numerous challenges that all actors are facing. Third, there is a need for training skills in SD, starting with raising awareness within in-stitutions of the manifold dimensions that SD has at the intersection of S&T and foreign policy. Avoiding academic prescriptions, we follow and synthetize the advice from SD practitioners in the EU who shared their experiences and needs with us.

description: Parler as a platform isn’t well understood. Much of the research done on it is conducted from the standpoint of misinformation research rather than examining the nature of the platform itself. This research will focus on grouping users of the platform by activity level. After doing so, it will continue by attempting to describe the nature of conversation within those groups and compare conversation across levels of engagement. In doing so, it will provide a deeper look into the nature of the platform. Frequency analysis and topic modeling show differences in how different user groups on Parler interact with each other and the platform. Overall, discussion on the platform includes a baseline of conservative rhetoric and colors all topics. This work informs future research by suggesting directions
that may be taken and providing a foundation to build on.
Money and Misinformation vs Knowledge of Truth: A Study on the Effects That Knowledge of Money-Influenced Environmental Politics Has on Public Opinion
Creators: name: Jonathan Gonzalez
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: This study investigates the effects that knowledge of political donations has on a person’s ability to examine an environmental misinformation statement that is being distributed by a politician. An online survey was distributed that contained a political statement about wind energy that contained misinformation and participants were asked to assess this statement without any other information. Then, the participants were given information on fossil fuel companies that were donating money to the politician making the statement along with relevant evidence-based information that disproved what was being said in the political statement. Participants were asked to assess this statement again with these new pieces of information. 

It was found that the providing of these information pieces led to a decrease in the amount of people that believed that the statement was factual and a subsequent increase in the amount of people that believed that this statement was not factual. The donation information contributed to a higher rate of change in this direction than the evidence-based information. Further research will need to be conducted in this area of study to fully realize the utility of donation data, but this study aims to serve as a starting point for examining how effective donation data can be at leading people to assess political misinformation.

description: As a way of restricting the spread of COVID-19, methods of social distancing were instituted in most places that people gather, including workplaces. As such, human service agencies have implemented novel ways of delivering services to clients, with a common method being telehealth. For some practitioners this was unchartered waters and required rapid adaption to their everyday practice. I was interested to hear about their experiences and what useful learning came from it. I spoke, informally, with 13 people across four settings in a regional city in Victoria, asking them about the problems, positive changes and innovations that emerged. There were reports of challenges to overcome as well as benefits that may well become long-lasting. Practitioners adapted quickly and successfully to telehealth, with only minor problems that they managed to iron out quite quickly. They were mindful of people's differing levels of capacity and access to technology and learned to be gentle and kind to themselves and others as they adapted. Some people came to realise that they like to work from home because it improves their work-life balance. Others, however, are keen to return to the workplace; highlighting the importance for flexibility based on individual circumstances. There was a strong sense of improved communication between agencies as they were better able to connect via telehealth compared with former in-person practices.

description: On 31 August 1886 Eleanor Marx left Liverpool for Chicago for a trip that would be the perfect occasion to sharpen her feminist thought. Inquiring the American workers movement and women condition, Eleanor found the problem of the day. “How should woman organize?” became the crucial question of her socialist activism among women but also among men. The United States were the ground of an essential transformation of socialist politics, where sex, class and race were already political weapons the workers movement had to learn to use for their own freedom.

description: We study the dynamics of four-qubit W state under various noisy environments by solving analytically the master equation in the Lindblad form in which the Lindblad operators correspond to the Pauli matrices and describe the decoherence of states. Also, we investigate the dynamics of the entanglement using the lower bound to the concurrence. It is found that while the entanglement decreases monotonically for Pauli-Z noise, it decays suddenly for other three noises. Moreover, by studying the time evolution of entanglement of various maximally entangled four-qubit states, we indicate that the four-qubit W state is more robust under same-axis Pauli channels. Furthermore, three-qubit W state preserves more entanglement with respect to the four-qubit W state, except for the Pauli-Z noise.

Asymptotics of the minimum values of Riesz and logarithmic potentials generated by greedy energy sequences on the unit circle

description: In this work we investigate greedy energy sequences on the unit circle for the logarithmic and Riesz potentials. By definition, if $(a_n)_{n=0}^{\infty}$ is a greedy $s$-energy sequence on the unit circle, the Riesz potential $U_{N,s}(x):=\sum_{k=0}^{N-1}|a_k-x|^{-s}$, $s>0$, generated by the first $N$ points of the sequence attains its minimum value at the point $a_{N}$, for every $N\geq 1$. In the case $s=0$ we minimize instead the logarithmic potential $U_{N,0}(x):=-\sum_{k=0}^{N-1}\log |a_{k}-x|$. We analyze the asymptotic properties of these extremal values $U_{N,s}(a_N)$, studying separately the cases $s=0$, $01$. We obtain second-order asymptotic formulas for $U_{N,s}(a_N)$ in the cases $s=0$, $01$ is proved, and it is shown that the normalized sequence $U_{N,s}(a_N)/N^s$ is bounded and divergent in this case. We also consider, briefly, greedy energy sequences in which the minimization condition is required starting from the point $a_{p+1}$ (instead of the point $a_{1}$ as previously stated), for some $p\geq 1$. For this more general class of greedy sequences, we prove a first-order asymptotic result for $0\leq s<1$.

description: In this deliverable of the project S4D4C (Horizon 2020 grant agreement No 770342; Using Science for/in Diplomacy for Addressing Global Challenges), we present the results of a baseline analysis of the needs of the professionals working at the interface of science and foreign policy. We combine qualitative and quantitative data from desk research, interviews, participant observation and, most importantly, an open, anonymous online survey. The 130 answers to the survey constitute a novel source of primary data in the science diplomacy research arena. The results help us better understand the population of science diplomacy practitioners, their goals, practices, challenges and needs as well as their views on the label ‘science diplomacy’. The analysis will inform S4D4C’s work on training and knowledge resources. In allowing for more targeted governance, the results are also relevant for science diplomacy-related policy-making in the EU and beyond.

description: We analyze Hegselmann-Krause opinion formation models with leadership in presence of time delay effects. In particular, we consider a model with pointwise time variable time delay and a model with a distributed delay. In both cases we show that, when the delays satisfy suitable smallness conditions, then the leader can control the system, leading the group to any prefixed state. Some numerical tests illustrate our analytical results.
Assessing the Performance of the Diffusion Monte Carlo Method as Applied to the Water Monomer, Dimer, and Hexamer

description: The Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method is applied to the water monomer, dimer, and hexamer, using q-TIP4P/F, one of the most simple, empirical water models with flexible monomers. The bias in the time step ($Δτ$) and population size ($N_w$) is investigated. For the binding energies, the bias in $Δτ$ cancels nearly completely, while a noticeable bias in $N_w$ still remains. However, for the isotope shift, (e.g, in the dimer binding energies between (H$_2$O)$_2$ and (D$_2$O)$_2$) the systematic errors in $N_w$ do cancel. Consequently, very accurate results for the latter (within $\sim 0.01$ kcal/mol) are obtained with relatively moderate numerical effort ($N_w\sim 10^3$). For the water hexamer and its (D$_2$O)$_6$ isotopomer the DMC results as a function of $N_w$ are examined for the cage and prism isomers. For a given isomer, the issue of the walker population leaking out of the corresponding basin of attraction is addressed by using appropriate geometric constraints. The population size bias for the hexamer is more severe, and in order to maintain accuracy similar to that of the dimer, the population size $N_w$ must be increased by about two orders of magnitude. Fortunately, when the energy difference between cage and prism is taken, the biases cancel, thereby reducing the systematic errors to within $\sim 0.01$ kcal/mol when using a population of $N_w=4.8\times 10^5$ walkers. Consequently, a very accurate result for the isotope shift is also obtained. Notably, both the quantum and the isotope effects for the prism-cage energy difference are small.

description: This case-study of the UNC Story Archive examines data derived from semi-structured interviews to explore what processes are used by community members who participate in metadata creation about their story and their community. The findings reveal that the keywords and phrases (metadata) selected by UNC Story Archive contributors to describe their archival contribution are a result of an intricate negotiation of relationships, identity, and information seeking practices. The study data illuminates how contributors navigate relationships with the UNC campus as well as with those who are part of the “in group” and the “out group” of the communities each identified with. This results in metadata that reflects desires to ensure that their story is elevated as an important piece of the larger institutional historical discourse and to account for their safety, or to protect their community.
Factors Predicting Initiation to Smoking Cessation Treatment among People With HIV (PWH) who Smoke Tobacco
Creators: name: Bajaj, Mehak Bani
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: HIV positive individuals are two to three times as likely to use tobacco than HIV negative adults in the U.S. This is significant given smoking tobacco increases PWHs burden for developing comorbid illnesses such as cardiovascular diseases, respiratory illnesses, and cancers. While it is important to stop smoking tobacco, the unique characteristics and demographics of this patient population make it difficult to quit. PWH who smoke are disproportionately from minority backgrounds, low-income, or unemployed, and likely to have less than a high school degree. Additionally, mental illness and alcohol/substance use is common and are barriers to smoking cessation. 
	Smoking cessation programs among PWH are crucial for increasing life expectancy and reducing medical comorbidities. This study aims to identify characteristics associated with initiating a smoking cessation treatment program among PWH who smoke tobacco, specifically through comparing socio-demographic characteristics and diagnosis of comorbid illnesses between PWH who enroll and do not enroll in treatment. 
	UNC Health Care’s ID clinic operates a Tobacco cessation Treatment Program (TTP). All patients who receive HIV care at UNC’s ID clinic and smoke tobacco are referred to TTP. The socio-demographic characteristics and medical history among PWH who enroll vs. decline enrollment were compared by examining patient’s electronic health records. 
	The socio-demographic characteristics of PWH who enroll vs. do not enroll in TTP are similar, except for their smoking status. Enrollment into TTP was nearly two times as likely among PWH who are Black compared to those who are white. Additionally, women’s enrollment to TTP was slightly higher than men’s (RR=1.25). There was also lower enrollment among MSM compared to heterosexual PWH (RR=0.69). Among PWH without mental illness, the likelihood of enrollment to TTP was slightly higher compared to those with a diagnosed mental illness. The risk of engaging in TTP treatment was nearly 2 times as likely among PWH who have not been diagnosed with an AID-defining illness, compared to those with an AID-defining illness (RR=1.82).
	This study reveals the need for further research predicting why PWH who smoke enroll vs do not enroll in smoking cessation treatment. Additionally, this study illustrates the importance of tailored smoking cessation programs and the need for recruitment and enrollment strategies focused on the unique background and medical diagnosis among PWH who smoke.

description: Graphene plasmonic nanostructures enable subwavelength confinement of electromagnetic energy from the mid-infrared down to the terahertz frequencies. By exploiting the spectrally varying light scattering phase at vicinity of the resonant frequency of the plasmonic nanostructure, it is possible to control the angle of reflection of an incoming light beam. We demonstrate, through full-wave electromagnetic simulations based on Maxwell equations, the electrical control of the angle of reflection of a mid-infrared light beam by using an aperiodic array of graphene nanoribbons, whose widths are engineered to produce a spatially varying reflection phase profile that allows for the construction of a far-field collimated beam towards a predefined direction.

description:  

A Escola de Belas-Artes comemorou em 2016 duzentos anos de existência e, por essa ocasião, muitos nomes de ex-professores foram lembrados. Contudo, nesses dois séculos é quase impossível que o justo valor a todos aqueles que tiveram papel efetivo no desenvolvimento dessa tradicional Escola, seja realmente atribuído. Mesmo com grande esforço é natural que a memória seja seletiva e elenquei alguns nomes. Celita Vaccani (1913-2020) exerceu papel de destaque na Cadeira de Escultura e Modelagem ao longo de décadas. Contudo, sua incessante produção de obras utilizadas em prática de ensino ou pesquisa se perdeu em parte. Porém, devido ao cuidado de funcionários uma valiosa quantidade de sua herança escultórica foi preservada em bom estado de conservação. Objetivamos neste trabalho, partindo do inventário, um estudo sobre os meios de conservação da materialidade do acervo escultórico de Vaccani que é composto, sobretudo, por obras de gesso e metal. Reiteramos que há uma carência de estudos mais aprofundados e condutas mais coerentes com as demandas brasileiras na área da conservação preventiva especialmente no resguardo a danos e na conservação de obras escultóricas. Além disso, enfatizamos que a preservação da memória dos nossos antigos e atuais acadêmicos é algo inerente à pesquisa dentro da Escola de Belas-Artes a partir do momento no qual usufruímos do acervo dos mesmos. O método utilizado foi a pesquisa histórica e o inventário. Desta forma, notamos a necessidade de consolidar medidas eficazes, dentro das instituições públicas de ensino, que possibilitem a conservação dos acervos e que é necessário ponderar sobre o desafio e responsabilidade que temos em preservar parte da história das artes em nosso país.

description:  

A Escola de Belas-Artes comemorou em 2016 duzentos anos de existência e, por essa ocasião, muitos nomes de ex-professores foram lembrados. Contudo, nesses dois séculos é quase impossível que o justo valor a todos aqueles que tiveram papel efetivo no desenvolvimento dessa tradicional Escola, seja realmente atribuído. Mesmo com grande esforço é natural que a memória seja seletiva e elenquei alguns nomes. Celita Vaccani (1913-2020) exerceu papel de destaque na Cadeira de Escultura e Modelagem ao longo de décadas. Contudo, sua incessante produção de obras utilizadas em prática de ensino ou pesquisa se perdeu em parte. Porém, devido ao cuidado de funcionários uma valiosa quantidade de sua herança escultórica foi preservada em bom estado de conservação. Objetivamos neste trabalho, partindo do inventário, um estudo sobre os meios de conservação da materialidade do acervo escultórico de Vaccani que é composto, sobretudo, por obras de gesso e metal. Reiteramos que há uma carência de estudos mais aprofundados e condutas mais coerentes com as demandas brasileiras na área da conservação preventiva especialmente no resguardo a danos e na conservação de obras escultóricas. Além disso, enfatizamos que a preservação da memória dos nossos antigos e atuais acadêmicos é algo inerente à pesquisa dentro da Escola de Belas-Artes a partir do momento no qual usufruímos do acervo dos mesmos. O método utilizado foi a pesquisa histórica e o inventário. Desta forma, notamos a necessidade de consolidar medidas eficazes, dentro das instituições públicas de ensino, que possibilitem a conservação dos acervos e que é necessário ponderar sobre o desafio e responsabilidade que temos em preservar parte da história das artes em nosso país.

description: This investigation studies the ergodic properties of reversible linear cellular automata over $\mathbb{Z}_m$ for $m \in \mathbb{N}$. We show that a reversible linear cellular automaton is either a Bernoulli automorphism or non-ergodic. This gives an affirmative answer to an open problem proposed in [Pivato, Ergodc theory of cellular automata, Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science, 2009, pp.~2980-3015] for the case of reversible linear cellular automata.
Evaluation Of User Experiences With Prior Vaginal Product To Inform New Product Development For HIV Prevention

Year: 2022

description: Objectives: Multipurpose prevention technologies have the potential to offer benefits such as reduced cost and increased convenience by simultaneously delivering contraception and PrEP. However, PrEP and contraception products have struggled with acceptability and adherence which impacts efficacy. This study seeks to better understand women’s decision-making around previous contraceptive products, in order to determine what makes products acceptable or unacceptable for future MPT development. 
Methods: Twenty-four women were recruited out of a large health system database and interviewed about their previous vaginal product use and a new intravaginal ring in development. Twelve of the transcripts were randomly selected, coded, and analyzed in an iterative process for acceptability attributes the participants discussed. 
Results: Almost all (n=10) participants had used multiple methods of contraception, and expressed various reasons behind their decisions to stop and start using different contraceptive methods. Coherence emerged as an important attribute in contraception for the majority of participants, who expressed their desire that their contraception choice aligned with their lifestyle and their choice to have children. Participants also frequently discussed burdens such as side effects from their contraception choice, but each participant had a different ‘tipping point’ of what they were willing to tolerate before switching contraception. Each contraceptive product had unique acceptability attributes that emerged, and all participants weighted attributes differently. 
Conclusion: There is no one choice in contraception that is perfect for every woman, and there will be no one MPT product perfect for everyone. It is important to develop a wide range of MPT product offerings, and support woman to make the choice right for them. Acceptability studies for products in development will continue to be vital in order to ensure products are as acceptable as possible for end users.
From What They Wrote Came Fire: An Analysis of the Malleus Maleficarum and its Impact

description: This paper aims to examine the spread of misinformation regarding witches, the cultural environment that allowed texts like the Malleus Maleficarum to flourish, the impact of that text, and the subsequent, bloody consequences that followed for the accused. Using the current literature available I will examine the history of witchcraft and witch hunting, the possible reasons for the witch hunts, and the reality of what it meant to be accused and tried as a witch. I will perform textual content analysis of the Malleus Maleficarum, which I believe to be a foundational text in understanding the cultural and religious implications of subsequent witch hunting practices.
Grain Alignment in Starless Cores

description: We present near infrared polarimetry data of background stars shining through a selection of starless cores taken in the $K$ band, probing visual extinctions up to $A_{V} \sim 48$. We find that $P_K/{τ_K}$ continues to decline with increasing $A_{V}$ with a power law slope of roughly -0.5. Examination of published submillimeter (submm) polarimetry of starless cores suggests that by $A_{V} \gtrsim 20$ the slope for $P$ vs. $τ$ becomes $\sim -1$, indicating no grain alignment at greater optical depths. Combining these two data sets, we find good evidence that, in the absence of a central illuminating source, the dust grains in dense molecular cloud cores with no internal radiation source cease to become aligned with the local magnetic field at optical depths greater than $A_V \sim 20$. A simple model relating the alignment efficiency to the optical depth into the cloud reproduces the observations well.

description: This paper describes a mixed methods usability study of the UNC Libraries website in the context of first-year writing courses, which are required for undergraduate students at UNC-Chapel Hill. The study used a survey and contextual interviews to investigate the perceived usability and user experience of the UNC Libraries website for first-year writing students.

First-year students who were taking the first-year writing courses ENGL 105 or 105i were surveyed about their use of and perceptions of the UNC Libraries website as they encountered it in their first-year writing course. Contextual interview participants were recruited from the pool of survey respondents. In the contextual interview sessions, participants were asked to complete several tasks designed to be similar to those associated with completing coursework. Survey and contextual interview data indicate that users are able to complete course-related tasks using the current UNC library website; however, their perceived usability and experience was not great.

description: Natural convection in porous media is a highly nonlinear multiphysical problem relevant to many engineering applications (e.g., the process of $\mathrm{CO_2}$ sequestration). Here, we present a non-intrusive reduced order model of natural convection in porous media employing deep convolutional autoencoders for the compression and reconstruction and either radial basis function (RBF) interpolation or artificial neural networks (ANNs) for mapping parameters of partial differential equations (PDEs) on the corresponding nonlinear manifolds. To benchmark our approach, we also describe linear compression and reconstruction processes relying on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and ANNs. We present comprehensive comparisons among different models through three benchmark problems. The reduced order models, linear and nonlinear approaches, are much faster than the finite element model, obtaining a maximum speed-up of $7 \times 10^{6}$ because our framework is not bound by the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy condition; hence, it could deliver quantities of interest at any given time contrary to the finite element model. Our model's accuracy still lies within a mean squared error of 0.07 (two-order of magnitude lower than the maximum value of the finite element results) in the worst-case scenario. We illustrate that, in specific settings, the nonlinear approach outperforms its linear counterpart and vice versa. We hypothesize that a visual comparison between principal component analysis (PCA) or t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) could indicate which method will perform better prior to employing any specific compression strategy.

A Study on Clustering for Clustering Based Image De-Noising

description: In this paper, the problem of de-noising of an image contaminated with Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) is studied. This subject is an open problem in signal processing for more than 50 years. Local methods suggested in recent years, have obtained better results than global methods. However by more intelligent training in such a way that first, important data is more effective for training, second, clustering in such way that training blocks lie in low-rank subspaces, we can design a dictionary applicable for image de-noising and obtain results near the state of the art local methods. In the present paper, we suggest a method based on global clustering of image constructing blocks. As the type of clustering plays an important role in clustering-based de-noising methods, we address two questions about the clustering. The first, which parts of the data should be considered for clustering? and the second, what data clustering method is suitable for de-noising.? Then clustering is exploited to learn an over complete dictionary. By obtaining sparse decomposition of the noisy image blocks in terms of the dictionary atoms, the de-noised version is achieved. In addition to our framework, 7 popular dictionary learning methods are simulated and compared. The results are compared based on two major factors: (1) de-noising performance and (2) execution time. Experimental results show that our dictionary learning framework outperforms its competitors in terms of both factors.
