description: Over the past decades, several ideas and technologies have been developed to directly detect WIMP from the galactic halo. All these detection strategies share the common goal of discriminating a WIMP signal from the residual backgrounds. By directly detecting WIMPs, one can measure some or all of the observables associated to each nuclear recoil candidates, such as their energy and direction. In this study, we compare and examine the discovery potentials of each readout strategies from counting only (bubble chambers) to directional detectors (Time Projection Chambers) with 1d-, 2d-, and 3d-sensitivity. Using a profile likelihood analysis, we show that, in the case of a large and irreducible background contamination characterized by an energy distribution similar to the expected WIMP signal, directional information can improve the sensitivity of the experiment by several orders of magnitude. We also found that 1d directional detection is only less effective than a full 3d directional sensitivity by about a factor of 3, or 10 if we assume no sense recognition, still improving by a factor of 2 or more if only the energy of the events is being measured.

description: Background: Behcet’s Disease (BD) is a unique systemic vasculitis that mainly involves veins, in contrast to other vasculitides (1,2). Prior studies showed that pulmonary arteries have similar structure with systemic veins in terms of wideness, thin-walled, increased compliance and low resistance (3). We have recently showed increased venous wall thickness in lower extremity veins of BD patients. In this study, we aimed to assess pulmonary artery wall thickness by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in BD compared to healthy controls and patients with non-inflammatory pulmonary embolism (NIPE). Methods: Patients with BD (n=77), NIPE (n=33) and healthy controls (n=57) were included in the study. Pulmonary artery wall thickness was measured with transthoracic echocardiography by a cardiologist blinded to cases. Pulmonary artery wall thickness was measured from the mid-portion of the main pulmonary artery (approximately 1 to 2 cm distal to the pulmonary valve) as demonstrated in Figure 1. Results: Pulmonary artery wall thickness was significantly lower in controls (0.36 mm (SD:0.03) compared to NIPE (0.44 mm (SD:0.05) and BD (0.44 mm (SD:0.06) (p<0.001 for both). Pulmonary artery wall thickness was also found to be significantly higher in BD patients with major organ involvement (0.46 mm (SD:0.04) compared to healthy controls and NIPE (p <0.001 and p=0.027, respectively). In the subgroup analyses of patients with major organ involvement, pulmonary artery wall thickness was observed to be higher in patients with vascular (0.46 mm (SD:0.05), ocular (0.47 mm (SD:0.05) and neurologic (0.49 mm (SD:0.02) involvement (p<001 for all) and also in patients with a history of deep venous thrombosis (0.46 mm (SD:0.05) and pulmonary embolism (0.46 mm (SD:0.04) (p=0.012 and p=0.039, respectively) compared to BD patients with mainly mucocutaneous disease. Conclusions: Increased pulmonary artery wall thickness suggest extensive vascular inflammation in patients with BD, not limited to venous vessels as previously shown. Assessment of pulmonary arteries by TTE, a feasible, commonly used modality, may be used for vascular wall research and routine practice in BD. Disclosures: None Figure 1

description: We use the twistorial construction of D-instantons in Calabi-Yau compactifications of type II string theory to compute an explicit expression for the metric on the hypermultiplet moduli space affected by these non-perturbative corrections. In this way we obtain an exact quaternion-Kahler metric which is a non-trivial deformation of the local c-map. In the four-dimensional case corresponding to the universal hypermultiplet, our metric fits the Tod ansatz and provides an exact solution of the continuous Toda equation. We also analyze the fate of the curvature singularity of the perturbative metric by deriving an S-duality invariant equation which determines the singularity hypersurface after inclusion of the D(-1)-instanton effects.

description: Preservation concerns around dissemination of information face professionals, consumers, and hobbyists performing tasks that are heavily reliant on unsupported legacy equipment. This paper seeks to acquire information that may be used to develop a broadly applicable ontological framework and intentional support community for a structured knowledge base of equipment issues, parts, and details. This will be accomplished by conducting structured interviews that seek to better understand the information-seeking behavior of technicians and consumers in a variety of disciplines reliant on skills, practices, and information surrounding "old gear."
Examining the Impacts of Subtle Fidget Jewelry on Anxiety, Stress, and Attention
Creators: name: Persia, Jennifer
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Fidgeting is something most humans naturally do to self-stimulate and soothe, and is known to release neurotransmitters that stimulate attention and sharpen focus while decreasing cognitive load. Accordingly, it is an important part of sensory-motor self-regulation and has been hypothesized to play a key role in regulating attention. Fidgeting may also have the added potential of reducing anxiety and stress. Fidget tools are mass-produced and highly popularized for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The research on fidget impacts is limited, particularly in sub-clinical adult populations. In this study, a non-clinical sample of 51 healthy adults were randomly assigned to receive a fidget ring or a placebo non-fidget ring. Participants were instructed to wear their assigned ring for one week and answer daily surveys measuring self-reported anxiety, stress, attention, and engagement with the assigned ring. At post-test the experimental group demonstrated a decrease in anxiety levels with a moderate effect size (ηp2 = 0.93), while the control group experienced no change in anxiety levels. This finding is consistent with the idea that having access to fidgets allows individuals to self-regulate their anxiety levels by self-soothing and may calm the nervous system, serving as an outlet for expelling nervous energy that may be associated with somatic symptoms of anxiety. Further research is necessary to elucidate the mechanisms behind how fidgets reduce anxiety. Future research should examine longer-term use of fidgets and impacts on individuals with anxiety disorders.

Subjects: Interactive multimedia

description: We're all familiar with the Great Outdoors, but what about the little outdoors between the cracks in our sidewalk. In the city, we cultivate nature in vacant lots, on rooftops, and even circulate it through the vents in our apartments. The UN estimated that 82% of the population in North America lives in urban areas in 2018, despite only taking up 3.6% of the total land in the contiguous US. That means most Americans get their daily dose of nature in parks, greenways, and the little pockets of green that sprout throughout our vast urban sprawl.    

SPRAWL is a podcast about urban natural spaces that asks a simple question: What does a sustainable city look like? Because let’s face it: Even though these cities take up very little space, they create a lot of problems for the environment. The UN estimates that cities use 78% of the world’s energy and are responsible for over 60% of global greenhouse emissions.  

During the next few months, I will report on urban agriculture, foraging and agroforestry, and urban wetlands to produce three 10–15-minute episodes. I will host interviews with experts and activists who understand how our relationship with these natural spaces has changed. I will produce these interviews and scenes along with music and samples to not only explain each topic, but tell a story about the cities we live in.  

When you’re talking about a small fraction of land that produces most the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, every block matters. But the first step to a sustainable future is understanding what our unsustainable present looks like, what projects are happening now, and the many pathways our cities could take in the future. SPRAWL will transport audiences to these natural spaces.

description: The poster titled "Mapping networks of scholar-led publishing initiatives: The case of the Radical Open Access Collective" visualises the evolvement of social networks of scholar-led publishing initiatives on three different levels: the bibliometric network, the mailing list network and the affiliation network of the Radical Open Access Collective. As a case study, the Radical Open Access Collective (ROAC) with more than 70 members of publishing initatives is explored in a mixed methods research design. The focus of the qualitatively-driven mixed methods research and social network analysis is the Collective’s sociospatial strategies e.g. networking, strengthening vertical collaborations and promoting horizontal alliances. A systematic literature research and qualitative interviews with experts in the field of scholar-led publishing provide the main data set, being triangulated with desk-based research on the Radical Open Access Collective. The results show networking strategies of the ROAC on three different levels building on a social network analysis. In addition, this poster contributes to a deeper understanding of a specific network of scholar-led publishing initiatives indicating their key sociospatial strategies in order to tackle challenges in a contentious struggle between scalability and nonscalability.

description: Observations suggest that CII was more abundant than CIV in the intergalactic medium towards the end of the hydrogen reionization epoch. This transition provides a unique opportunity to study the enrichment history of intergalactic gas and the growth of the ionizing background (UVB) at early times. We study how carbon absorption evolves from z=10-5 using a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation that includes a self-consistent multifrequency UVB as well as a well-constrained model for galactic outflows to disperse metals. Our predicted UVB is within 2-4 times that of Haardt & Madau (2012), which is fair agreement given the uncertainties. Nonetheless, we use a calibration in post-processing to account for Lyman-alpha forest measurements while preserving the predicted spectral slope and inhomogeneity. The UVB fluctuates spatially in such a way that it always exceeds the volume average in regions where metals are found. This implies both that a spatially-uniform UVB is a poor approximation and that metal absorption is not sensitive to the epoch when HII regions overlap globally even at column densites of 10^{12} cm^{-2}. We find, consistent with observations, that the CII mass fraction drops to low redshift while CIV rises owing the combined effects of a growing UVB and continued addition of carbon in low-density regions. This is mimicked in absorption statistics, which broadly agree with observations at z=6-3 while predicting that the absorber column density distributions rise steeply to the lowest observable columns. Our model reproduces the large observed scatter in the number of low-ionization absorbers per sightline, implying that the scatter does not indicate a partially-neutral Universe at z=6.

description: The superconducting state of the caged type compound Lu$_5$Rh$_6$Sn$_{18}$ has been investigated by using magnetization, heat capacity, and muon-spin relaxation or rotation ($μ$SR) measurements and the results interpreted on the basis of the group theoretical classifications of the possible pairing symmetries and a simple model of the resulting quasiparticle spectra. Our zero-field $μ$SR measurements clearly reveal the spontaneous appearance of an internal magnetic field below the transition temperature, which indicates that the superconducting state in this material is characterized by the broken time-reversal symmetry. Further the analysis of temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth measured using the transverse field $μ$SR measurements suggest an isotropic $s$-wave character for the superconducting gap. This is in agreement with the heat capacity behavior and we show that it can be interpreted in terms of a non unitary triplet state with point nodes and an open Fermi surface.

description: We study the dynamics of bound pairs in the extended Hubbard model driven by a linear external field. It is shown that two interacting bosons or singlet fermions with nonzero on-site and nearest-neighbor interaction strengths can always form bound pairs in the absence of an external field. There are two bands of bound pairs, one of which may have incomplete wave vectors when it has an overlap with the scattering band, referred to as an imperfect band. In the presence of the external field, the dynamics of the bound pair in the perfect band exhibits distinct Bloch-Zener oscillation (BZO), while in the imperfect band the oscillation presents a sudden death. The pair becomes uncorrelated after the sudden death and the BZO never comes back. Such dynamical behaviors are robust even for the weak-coupling regime and thus can be used to characterize the phase diagram of the bound states.

description: We review and extend a novel approach that we introduced recently, to describe general dark energy or scalar-tensor models. Our approach relies on an ADM formulation based on the hypersurfaces where the underlying scalar field is uniform. The advantage of this approach is that it can describe in the same language and in a minimal way a vast number of existing models, such as quintessence models, $F(R)$ theories, scalar tensor theories, their Horndeski extensions and beyond. It also naturally includes Horava-Lifshitz theories. As summarized in this review, our approach provides a unified treatment of the linear cosmological perturbations about a FLRW universe, obtained by a systematic expansion of our general action up to quadratic order. This shows that the behaviour of these linear perturbations is generically characterized by five time-dependent functions. We derive the full equations of motion in the Newtonian gauge, and obtain in particular the equation of state for dark energy perturbations, in the Horndeski case, in terms of these functions. Our unifying description thus provides the simplest and most systematic way to confront theoretical models with current and future cosmological observations.

description: This thesis is strongly inspired by my experience as a college athlete. Despite the heavy mental toll from personal issues, the negative environment from my athletic department, and lack of mental health resources, there was athletic support staff and a therapist that kept me afloat. Because of the strong community I have, I believe everyone is deserving to have someone who is able to pick them up when they’re down without feeling like a burden. 

In this thesis I touch on how the NCAA functions. I will also provide different perspectives from experiences of my own and other collegiate athletes, current and former. In doing so, it will provide some perspective from those on a DI, DII and DIII level that is sometimes overlooked. My goal is to provide a series of infographics that highlight the disparities within college athletics and provide a solution that could invoke change within college athletics.
Search for disappearing tracks in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

description: A search is presented for long-lived charged particles that decay within the CMS detector and produce the signature of a disappearing track. Disappearing tracks are identified as those with little or no associated calorimeter energy deposits and with missing hits in the outer layers of the tracker. The search uses proton-proton collision data recorded at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 inverse femtobarns. The results of the search are interpreted in the context of the anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) model. The number of observed events is in agreement with the background expectation, and limits are set on the cross section of direct electroweak chargino production in terms of the chargino mass and mean proper lifetime. At 95% confidence level, AMSB models with a chargino mass less than 260 GeV, corresponding to a mean proper lifetime of 0.2 ns, are excluded.

Labor Support and Its Effects on Maternal Outcomes During Childbirth: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: McCraw, Michelle
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Introduction: The United States has the highest rate of pregnancy-related deaths among developed nations, as well as an increasing rate of severe maternal morbidity. With the increasing use of technology along with other changes in health care structure and delivery, less emphasis is placed on labor support in American hospitals. This systematic review aims to answer the question: What is the relationship between the presence of trained labor support (e.g., doula, birth coach) and maternal health outcomes (e.g., method of delivery, duration of labor, use of epidural anesthesia, labor complications) during delivery in a hospital setting?

Methods: PubMed and CINAHL were searched in March and April 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing trained labor support with usual care. Included studies had to report on delivery method, duration of labor, use of analgesia/anesthesia, labor complications, or postpartum depression. Individual study risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB2 tool, and strength of evidence was assessed using GRADE for each eligible outcome. 

Results: Eight studies out of 1678 met full eligibility criteria. Moderate strength of evidence was available to relate shorter duration of labor (0.0–2.0 hours; 4 RCTs) and lower rates of epidural use (1.9–11.3%; 5 RCTs) among women who had trained labor support compared to those who did not. Strength of evidence was low for most other outcomes, primarily due to the limited number of studies reporting data for each of these outcomes. All studies reported rates of cesarean delivery, but data were imprecise, earning a rating of low strength of evidence.

Conclusions: At the time of this review, there is some moderate strength evidence relating trained labor support during delivery to a shorter duration of labor and lower rate of epidural anesthesia use. Future studies should measure a larger number of outcomes in order to have a more robust understanding of the benefits of trained labor support.

description: The Pixel Detector is the innermost part of the CMS Tracker. It therefore has to prevail in the harshest environment in terms of particle fluence and radiation. There are several mechanisms that may decrease the efficiency of the detector. These are mainly caused by data acquisition (DAQ) problems and/or Single Event Upsets (SEU). Any remaining efficiency loss is referred to as the dynamic inefficiency. It is caused by various mechanisms inside the Readout Chip (ROC) and depends strongly on the data occupancy. In the 2012 data, at high values of instantaneous luminosity the inefficiency reached 2\% (in the region closest to the interaction point) which is not negligible. In the 2015 run higher instantaneous luminosity is expected, which will result in lower efficiencies; therefore this effect needs to be understood and simulated. A data-driven method has been developed to simulate dynamic inefficiency, which has been shown to successfully simulate the effects.

description: Background: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) predominantly affects cranial arteries; however, vasculitis of the extracranial large blood vessels is also possible. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of extracranial vasculitis in patients with GCA using PET/CT. Methods: In this retrospective observational study we enrolled patients with GCA with or without polymyalgia rheumatica. All patients were older than 50 years of age, met the revised ACR criteria for GCA or had an evidence of large vessel vasculitis at FDG-PET/CT scan. Results: Thirty-four patients (26 female, 8 male) with a median age of 63 (56.0, 67.0) years were included in the analysis. CRP levels and ESR were measured in 27 and 26 patients respectively. At the time of PET/CT median CRP level was 50.0 mg/L (16.3, 79.5), and median ESR was 65 mm/h (51.5, 92.0). Seven patients underwent PET/CT within 5-10 days after corticosteroid initiation, three received corticosteroid therapy for 8.5 months, and the other 24 had not received corticosteroids. The most common affected vessel was thoracic aorta (see Figure 1). Based on vascular involvement, patients were classified into 4 groups: in the vast majority of patients - 29 (85%) both cranial and large vessel involvement were observed, 2 (6%) of patients had only extracranial large vessel vasculitis, 2 (6%) of patients had only cranial arteritis and 1 (3%) patient had no signs of vascular inflammation. Vascular inflammation was visualized in the temporal arteries in 1 person (3 %) even though there were 17 patients who had a new temporal headache as one of their complaints. Among patients on corticosteroid therapy only one patient had no evidence of inflammation by FDG-PET/CT. Conclusions: FDG-PET/CT imaging indicates a high prevalence of extra-cranial involvement in patients with GCA. Disclosures: None Figure 1.

Johannes war das Haupt einer monastischen Reformbewegung, die weit ausstrahlte. Zur Zeit seines Lebensendes jedoch ist sie unter Druck geraten und nun beschließen seine Anhänger, das Leben und Werk von Johannes (und damit zum Teil auch ihres) in einer Lebensbeschreibung einer Sichtung zu unterziehen. Ihre Absicht ist es dabei, das Wirken des Johannes, das sinnbildlich für die Ideale der gesamten Reformbewegung steht, auf der Grundlage eines spezifischen Heiligkeitsverständnisses zu legitimieren. In dieser Untersuchung wird die Vita erstmals als Quelle für die Klosterreformbewegung des 10. Jahrhunderts genutzt und so wird diese Arbeit zu einem Plädoyer, das Potential dieses Textes auszuloten und sich der aufwendigen Forschung daran zu widmen.

description: A system of two-species, one-dimensional fermions, with an attractive two-body interaction of the derivative-delta type, features a scale anomaly. In contrast to the well-known two-dimensional case with contact interactions, and its one-dimensional cousin with three-body interactions (studied recently by some of us and others), the present case displays dimensional transmutation featuring a power-law rather than a logarithmic behavior. We use both the Schrödinger equation and quantum field theory to study bound and scattering states, showing consistency between both approaches. We show that the expressions for the reflection (R) and the transmission (T) coefficients of the renormalized, anomalous derivative-delta potential are identical to those of the regular delta potential. The second-order virial coefficient is calculated analytically using the Beth–Uhlenbeck formula, and we make comments about the proper ϵB→0 (where ϵB is the bound-state energy) limit. We show the impact of the quantum anomaly (which appears as the binding energy of the two-body problem, or equivalently as Tan's contact) on the equation of state and on other universal relations. Our emphasis throughout is on the conceptual and structural aspects of this problem.

description: We provide a quasi-one-dimensional model which can support a pair-density-wave (PDW) state, in which the superconducting (SC) order parameter modulates periodically in space, with gapless Bogoliubov quasiparticle excitations. The model consists of an array of strongly-interacting one-dimensional systems, where the one-dimensional systems are coupled to each other by local interactions and tunneling of the electrons and Cooper pairs between them. Within the interchain mean-field theory, we find several SC states from the model, including a conventional uniform SC state, PDW SC state, and a coexisting phase of the uniform SC and PDW states. In this quasi-1D regime we can treat the strong correlation physics essentially exactly using bosonization methods and the crossover to the 2D system by means of interchain mean field theory. The resulting critical temperatures of the SC phases generically exhibit a power-law scaling with the coupling constants of the array, instead of the essential singularity found in weak-coupling BCS-type theories. Electronic excitations with an open Fermi surface, which emerge from the electronic Luttinger liquid systems below their crossover temperature to the Fermi liquid, are then coupled to the SC order parameters via the proximity effect. From the Fermi surface thus coupled to the SC order parameters, we calculate the quasiparticle spectrum in detail. We show that the quasiparticle spectrum can be fully gapped or nodal in the uniform SC phase and also in the coexisting phase of the uniform SC and PDW parameters. In the pure PDW state, the excitation spectrum has a reconstructed Fermi surface in the form of Fermi pockets of Bogoliubov quasiparticles.

description: In a scattering process, the final state is determined by an initial state and an S-matrix. We focus on two-particle scattering processes and consider the entanglement between these particles. For two types initial states; i.e., an unentangled state and an entangled one, we calculate perturbatively the change of entanglement entropy from the initial state to the final one. Then we show a few examples in a field theory and in quantum mechanics.

Co-Prescribing of Anticholinergics and Cholinesterase Inhibitors in Nursing  Home Residents: a Potential Deprescribing Cascade
Creators: name: Gromek, Kimberly
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: • Background: Polypharmacy may result from inappropriate prescribing of medications to treat adverse drug reactions (ADRs), i.e., “prescribing cascade”. A potentially harmful prescribing cascade affecting those with severe dementia can result when anticholinergics are prescribed to manage side effects of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs). We investigated 1) factors associated with co-prescribing of anticholinergics and ChEIs and 2) whether deprescribing of ChEIs was associated with subsequent discontinuation of anticholinergics - a “deprescribing cascade.”
• Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of linked Medicare Part A/B/D claims, Master Beneficiary Summary File, Minimum Data Set, Area Health Resource File, and Nursing Home Compare from 2015-16. Subjects were Medicare beneficiaries residing in nursing homes, >65 years old with severe dementia admitted for non-skilled stays, who were prescribed ChEIs. Cross-sectional analysis evaluated factors associated with co-prescribing of anticholinergics with ChEIs. Longitudinal Cox proportional hazards regression examined whether deprescribing ChEIs was associated with subsequent discontinuation of anticholinergics over a one-year period.
• Results: We found 15% of our sample experienced co-prescribing of 
anticholinergics and ChEIs. Several resident and facility-level factors were associated with co-prescribing anticholinergics. Advancing age, minority race or ethnicity, end-stage renal disease, heart failure, and poor appetite were associated with a decreased likelihood of co-prescribing. Female sex, polypharmacy, and non-geriatric prescriber-type were associated with a higher likelihood of co-prescribing. In longitudinal analyses, we observed that deprescribing of ChEIs was associated with a reduced likelihood (HR 0.58 [95% CI, 0.47-0.71]) of discontinuing any anticholinergic medications, however not for 
antimuscarinic anticholinergics (HR 1.32 [95% CI, 0.83-2.09]), specifically.
• Conclusions: Younger, healthier older adults with dementia were more likely to experience co-prescribing anticholinergics and ChEIs. Deprescribing was underutilized, likely due to under recognition of this prescribing cascade. Further research is needed to understand prescribers’ ability to recognize and act on potential prescribing cascades through deprescribing.

description: In ihrer „Berufs-Reise nach America“ schildert die adelige Friederike Riedesel (1746–1808) ihre Reise und ihre Zeit im amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg. Diesen erlebte sie von 1777 bis 1783 an der Seite ihres für die Briten kämpfenden Mannes, General Friedrich Adolf Riedesel (1738–1800). Die 1800 veröffentlichte „Berufs-Reise“ ist nach Auffassung ihrer Verleger allerdings weit mehr als ein Reisebericht: Bei Riedesel handele es sich um ein Beispiel dafür, wie sich eine ideale (Ehe-)Frau und Mutter zu verhalten habe. Wodurch genau aber wird Riedesel zum Musterbeispiel weiblicher Pflichterfüllung? Und wie beschreibt sich die Autorin selbst, welche Aspekte rückt sie in den Vordergrund?
Analytic solutions of the relativistic Boltzmann equation

description: We present new analytic solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation within the relaxation time approximation. We first obtain spherically expanding solutions which are the kinetic counterparts of the exact solutions of the Israel-Stewart equation in the literature. This allows us to compare the solutions of the kinetic and hydrodynamic equations at an analytical level. We then derive a novel boost-invariant solution of the Boltzmann equation which has an unconventional dependence on the proper time. The existence of such a solution is also suggested in second order hydrodynamics and fluid-gravity correspondence.

Identifying and Manipulating Personality Characteristics in Pretrained Language Models
Creators: name: Caron, Graham
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Language modeling is widely used in the field
of natural language processing (NLP) for tasks
that require text generation. While previous research
has looked at various forms of bias in
pretrained language models from popular machine
learning libraries, there is an absence of
research into personality bias in these models.
Identifying and manipulating personality characteristics
in pretrained language models has
the potential to improve their implementation.
This study develops testing procedures to identify
the Big Five Dimensions of personality
in transformer-based language models, BERT
and GPT2. By providing additional context
to the models though a series of experiments,
the work not only demonstrates a tendency for
measured personality characteristics in BERT
and GPT2 to change but also, the ability for
them to be manipulated in a in a predictable
way.

description: Kinetics of steady-state copolymerization has been investigated since 1940s. Irreversible terminal and penultimate models were successfully applied to a number of comonomer systems, but failed for systems where depropagation is significant. Although a general mathematical treatment of the terminal model with depropagation was established in 1980s, penultimate model and higher-order terminal models with depropagation have not been systematically studied, since depropagation leads to hierarchically-coupled and unclosed kinetic equations which are hard to be solved analytically. In this work, we propose a truncation method to solve the steady-state kinetic equations of any-order terminal models with depropagation in an unified way, by reducing them into closed steady-state equations which give the exact solution of the original kinetic equations. Based on the steady-state equations, we also derive a general thermodynamic equality in which the Shannon entropy of the copolymer sequence is explicitly introduced as part of the free energy dissipation of the whole copolymerization system.

description: Auf der Toyota-Webseite finden sich aktuell Aussagen hochrangiger Manager wie: "Wir dürfen unsere 'Toyota-Artigkeit' nicht verlieren!" Als Kern dieser spezifischen 'Toyota-Artigkeit' wird heute das Toyota-Produktionssystem (TPS) verstanden und gleichzeitig als Unterscheidungsmerkmal zu anderen, 'normalen Firmen'. Doch worin liegen die Unterschiede? In der Praxis westlicher Unternehmen ebenso wie in der Literatur kommt ein zentraler Aspekt des TPS zu kurz: Der Erfolg Toyotas und anderer japanischer Unternehmen, die mit dem TPS arbeiten, beruht in nicht geringem Maße auf dem Bottom-up-Ansatz.

Climate Impacts on Hydropower Availability and Electricity Reliability in Malawi

description: Energy access is regarded as the “heart of development,” but access is only one component of achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7, a call to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. Without reliability, energy access is not able to maximize the benefits of its users, creating a lag in social and economic development. Malawi has notably suffered these effects, and because of its nearly 100% dependence on hydropower for electricity generation, reliability will decrease as climate impacts such as flood and drought continue to impact hydropower generation. As a result, frequent blackouts, brownouts, and load shedding will continue to occur. Through historical capacity factor analysis of daily hydropower generation from 2012-2018 and use of household survey data, we found that hydropower variability increased over the time period. Supplemental household survey responses confirm that blackouts increasingly occurred up to "several times a week." Through this analysis, it is possible to explore whether microgrids or other electricity diversifying solutions may provide more resilient future buffers from hydrologic variability due to climate change.

description: Using the Argonne V18 interaction, renormalized with the Lee-Suzuki method, we study nuclei around the $N=20$ island of inversion. We include 5 major oscillator shells, in a no-core approach, using the Hybrid Multi-Determinant method reaching up to few hundreds Slater determinants. Although qualitatively in agreement with the experimental levels, the calculated BE2 do not show the same amount of collectivity seen experimentally.
