description: I conducted a descriptive analysis on the emission of vocal and non-vocal social/verbal interactions between 35 dyads of preschool-aged-children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their mothers. Using previously recorded videos of 5-min isolated free-play sessions between the mother-child dyads, I transduced each occurrence of verbal operants, attempted verbal operants (i.e., emissions not reinforced by a listener), and additional verbal behaviors such as fantasy play emitted by the child, and approvals and disapprovals emitted by the mother. Each verbal behavior was defined as either vocal verbal behavior, non-lexical vocal verbal behavior, or non-vocal verbal behavior, all with a function to communicate. The procedure consisted of identifying each instance of verbal behavior emitted between the mother and child rotating across listener and speaker responses until either no response occurred, or the session concluded. The listener and speaker responses were further transduced into individual initiated conversational units (speaker-listener-speaker rotations). These data were statistically analyzed with previously collected child educational variables and mother demographic variables: child's level of verbal behavior in accordance with the Verbal Behavior Developmental Assessment-Revised (VBDA-R), number of acquired objectives on the Comprehensive Application of Behavior Analysis to Schooling International Curriculum and Inventory of Repertoires for Children from Preschool through Kindergarten (C-PIRK), the Autism Diagnosis Observation Schedule-Second Edition (ADOS-2) severity scores, and the scores on the Vineland-3 Adaptive Behavior Scales-Third Edition (VABS-3). The mother demographic variables were level of education and household income. The results of the study were as follow: (1) a significant relationship was shown between the child's level of verbal behavior (extracted from the VBDA-R) and performance on the C-PIRK, VABS-3, and between the ADOS-2 Modules used to assess for ASD severity; (2) the results did not show a significant difference between the child's level of verbal behavior and the number of child-initiated conversational units. The differences in the verbal behavior exchanged between the mother and child were, however, indicated across the child's form of verbal behavior - vocal, non-lexical, and non-vocal verbal behavior - emitted with the mother. Results are interpreted as parents of children without vocal verbal behavior require parent training tailored to their child's verbal developmental repertoires rather than their chronological age to ensure all communicative opportunities are captured. Educational implications, limitations, and future avenues of research are discussed.

description: For an integer $\ell\geqslant 2$, the $\ell$-component connectivity of a graph $G$, denoted by $κ_{\ell}(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices whose removal from $G$ results in a disconnected graph with at least $\ell$ components or a graph with fewer than $\ell$ vertices. This is a natural generalization of the classical connectivity of graphs defined in term of the minimum vertex-cut and is a good measure of robustness for the graph corresponding to a network. So far, the exact values of $\ell$-connectivity are known only for a few classes of networks and small $\ell$'s. It has been pointed out in~[Component connectivity of the hypercubes, Int. J. Comput. Math. 89 (2012) 137--145] that determining $\ell$-connectivity is still unsolved for most interconnection networks, such as alternating group graphs and star graphs. In this paper, by exploring the combinatorial properties and fault-tolerance of the alternating group graphs $AG_n$ and a variation of the star graphs called split-stars $S_n^2$, we study their $\ell$-component connectivities. We obtain the following results: (i) $κ_3(AG_n)=4n-10$ and $κ_4(AG_n)=6n-16$ for $n\geqslant 4$, and $κ_5(AG_n)=8n-24$ for $n\geqslant 5$; (ii) $κ_3(S_n^2)=4n-8$, $κ_4(S_n^2)=6n-14$, and $κ_5(S_n^2)=8n-20$ for $n\geqslant 4$.

description: We prove the cosmic no-hair conjecture for all orthogonal Bianchi cosmologies with matter in the $R+βR^2$ theory using the conformally equivalent Einstein field equations, with the scalar field having the full self-interacting potential, in the presence of the conformally related matter fields. We show, in particular, that the Bianchi IX universe asymptotically approaches de Sitter space provided that initially the scalar three-curvature does not exceed the potential of the scalar field associated with the conformal transformation. Our proof relies on rigorous estimates of the possible bounds of the so-called Moss-Sahni function which obeys certain differential inequalities and a non-trivial argument which connects the behaviour of that function to evolution of the spatial part of the scalar curvature.

description: Understanding the dynamics of galaxy triplet systems is one of the significant ways of obtaining insight into the dynamics of large galaxy clusters. Toward that aim, we present a detailed study of all isolated triplet systems (total of 315) taken from the `SDSS-based catalogue of Isolated Triplets' (SIT). In addition, we compared our results with those obtained for a sample of triplets from the Local Supercluster (LS), SDSS-triplets, Tully's catalogue, Wide (W) and Compact (K)-triplets. In addition, we performed the correlation between the dynamical parameters and the Large Scale Structure (LSS). Interestingly, we found that there is no correlation between both the mean projected separation for the triplet systems and the LSS and its dynamical parameters. Furthermore, we found that only 3 percent of these systems can be considered as compact since the mean harmonic separation (rh) is more than 0.4 Mpc for 97 percent of the population.Thus we may conclude that, mergers might not have played a dominant role in their evolution.

description: Topological defects in solids, usually described by complicated boundary conditions in elastic theory, may be described more simply as sources of a gravity- like deformation field in the geometric approach of Katanaev and Volovich. This way, the deformation field is described by non-Euclidean metric that incorporates the boundary imposed by the defects. A possible way of gaining some insight into the motion of particles in a medium with topological defects (e.g., electrons in a dislocated metal) is to look at the geodesics of the medium around the defect. In this work, we find the exact solution for the geodesic equation for elastic medium with a generic line defect, the dispiration, that can either be a screw dislocation or a wedge disclination for particular choices of its parameters.

Visualizing the One-Dimensional Diffusion of DNA Mismatch Repair Proteins at the Single-Molecule Level

Subjects: Biology

description: The eukaryotic post-replicative DNA mismatch repair pathway corrects mispaired bases that escape polymerase-proofreading machinery during DNA synthesis before the errors become permanently embedded in the genome. The initial steps in this essential pathway involve a series of specific target searches along DNA by the protein complexes Msh2-Msh6 and Mlh1-Pms1 in order to locate and remove mispaired bases. The details of these critical processes remain poorly understood, largely due to a lack of experimental methods capable of probing these dynamic processes. A custom total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy assay was developed to investigate these events by visualizing the proteins as they search along DNA in real time at the single molecule level. Both Msh2-Msh6 and Mlh1-Pms1 were found to travel along DNA by means of a one-dimensional random walk driven by thermal energy; however, the results presented in this work also reveal distinct mechanisms of diffusion utilized by each complex. The observed diffusive behavior of Msh2-Msh6 is consistent with a model in which the protein forms a highly processive clamp that rotates about the DNA helical axis as it diffuses, thereby remaining in register with the phosphate backbone as it scans DNA for mispaired bases. Mlh1-Pms1 movements are more consistent with a loosely bound ring-like structure that moves along DNA by a hopping or stepping mechanism as it searches for mismatch-bound Msh2-Msh6. These assays provide critical novel insights into the initial steps of mismatch recognition, address long-debated models proposed for post-recognition events in mismatch repair and also provide a platform for studying the protein-protein interactions of Msh2-Msh6 with Mlh1-Pms1 following mismatch recognition. In addition to providing important details into the DNA repair pathway itself, the data also reveal distinct limitations different modes of diffusion may impose on DNA target searches in vivo and these results can be generalized to various other DNA-binding proteins that move along DNA by similar mechanisms. Importantly, this work also provides the first experimental evidence directly observing unbiased facilitated diffusion as a mechanism of target search and recognition by any protein. The manner by which DNA-binding proteins are able to survey a vast amount of nonspecific genomic DNA in order to recognize a small number of specific sites or structures is a fundamental issue in understanding a diverse array of protein-DNA processes such as replication, gene expression and DNA repair and the diversity of targets and necessary search mechanisms involved in the mismatch repair pathway make it an excellent model system for studying facilitated diffusion along DNA.

description: TOU is an extremely high resolution optical spectrograph (R=$100,000$, 380-900~nm), which is designed to detect low mass exoplanets using the radial velocity technique.We describe an IDL-based radial velocity (RV) data reduction pipeline for the TOU spectrograph and its performance with stable stars. This pipeline uses a least-squares fitting algorithm to match observed stellar spectra to a high signal-to-noise template created for each star. By carefully controlling all of the error contributions to RV measurements in both the hardware and data pipeline, we have achieved $\sim$0.9\ms long-term RV precision with one of the most RV stable stars, Tau Ceti, similar to what has been achieved with HARPS. This paper presents steps and details in our data pipeline on how to reach the \sms RV precision and also all major error sources which contribute to the final RV measurement uncertainties. The lessons learned in this pipeline development can be applied to other environmentally controlled, very high resolution optical spectrographs to improve RV precision.

description: We present a rigorous analysis of the role and uses of the adiabatic invariant in the Mixmaster dynamical system. We propose a new invariant for the global dynamics which in some respects has an improved behaviour over the commonly used one. We illustrate its behaviour in a number of numerical results. We also present a new formulation of the dynamics via Catastrophe Theory. We find that the change from one era to the next corresponds to a fold catastrophe, during the Kasner shifts the potential is an Implicit Function Form whereas, as the anisotropy dissipates, the Mixmaster potential must become a Morse 0--saddle. We compare and contrast our results to many known works on the Mixmaster problem and indicate how extensions could be achieved. Further exploitation of this formulation may lead to a clearer understanding of the global Mixmaster dynamics.

Visualizing the Invisible: Generating Explanations of Scientific Phenomena
Creators: Bobek, Eliza Jane
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Educational psychology

description: Many topics in science are notoriously difficult for students to learn. Mechanisms and processes that exist on a scale outside student experience present particular challenges. While instruction often involves visualizations, students typically explain in words, spoken or written. Visualizations have many advantages over verbal explanations, especially for science, so asking students to produce visual rather than verbal explanations should improve their learning. This hypothesis was tested in two domains, a mechanical system and a chemical system. The explanations were analyzed for content, and learning assessed by a post-test. Participants' spatial ability was also assessed as spatial ability often correlates with learning science. For the verbal explaining of a mechanical system, the bicycle tire pump, high spatial participants performed better than low spatial participants. However, low spatial participants performed better and as well as high spatial participants after producing visual explanations. Visual explanations included significantly greater amounts of structural information, as well as other features essential to understanding function, for example a complete explanation of the inlet valve, a crucial but invisible structural component. In the domain of chemical bonding, visual explanations were more effective than verbal explanations, and high spatial ability participants showed greater learning than low spatial ability participants. Visual explanations contained a significantly greater amount of structural information, made reference to specific examples of chemical compounds, and often contained supplementary text. Text added to visual explanations predicted post-test scores, as did the inclusion of invisible features. Many participants who drew identified actual examples of ionic and covalent molecules. Written explanations often used general terms and presentations of definitions. Explanations generated by high spatial ability participants contained greater amounts of function and were more likely to include specific examples. In both domains, text was often spontaneously added to visual explanations. In Experiment 1, added text was equally likely to describe structure or function; in Experiment 2, added text was more likely to describe function. Taken together, the studies provide support for the use of learner-generated visual explanations as a powerful learning tool and suggest that visual explanations are superior because they demand and provide a check for completeness of explanations.
title: Determination of the Presence of Rickettsia Spp. and Borrelia Spp. Carried by Tortoise Ticks from Madagascar

description: Ticks were removed from three species of Malagasy tortoises, Astrochelys yniphora, A. radiata, and Pyxis arachnoides (comprising two subspecies P. a. arachnoides and P. a. oblonga), between 2012 and 2015. The ticks were presumed to be from the genus Amblyomma. Ticks were morphologically identified and then checked molecularly to confirm their classification or identify any ticks that could not be morphologically identified. Molecular identification was done via end-point PCR that amplified tick cytochrome oxidase (CO1) and tick 12S rRNA genes. Ticks were screened via a real-time polymerase chain reaction assay for the presence of Rickettsia spp. and Borrelia spp., amplifying the rickettsial 17 kDA and Borrelia 16S rRNA gene, respectively. Those positive for either pathogen were analyzed to determine the specific species via end-point PCR and sequencing. One hundred eighty-three ticks out of 239 tested ticks (77%) were positive for the presence of Rickettsia spp. and/or Borrelia spp.; Rickettsia aeschlimannii and Rickettsia africae were sequenced from Rickettsia-positive ticks and a Borrelia species related to Borrelia turcica was sequenced from the Borrelia-positive ticks. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of Rickettsia spp. and Borrelia spp. infecting the ticks, as well as identifying the ticks, in order to determine veterinary and public health risks. This will help further our understanding of these ticks and their pathogens and their relationship to these tortoises, as well as the impact they may have on both human and veterinary health.

description: Canonical variables for the Poisson algebra of quantum moments are introduced here, expressing semiclassical quantum mechanics as a canonical dynamical system that extends the classical phase space. New realizations for up to fourth order in moments for a single classical degree of freedom and to second order for a pair of classical degrees of freedom are derived and applied to several model systems. It is shown that these new canonical variables facilitate the derivation of quantum-statistical quantities and effective potentials. Moreover, by formulating quantum dynamics in classical language, these methods result in new heuristic pictures, for instance of tunneling, that can guide further investigations.

description: Objective: To achieve an optimal sealing zone during EVAR, the intended positioning of the proximal end of the endograft fabric should be as close as possible to the most caudal edge of the renal arteries. Some endografts exhibit a small offset between the radiopaque markers and the proximal fabric edge. Unintended partial renal artery coverage may thus occur. This study investigates the consequences of partial coverage on renal flow patterns and wall shear stress. Methods: In-vitro models of an abdominal aortic aneurysm were used to visualize pulsatile flow using 2D particle image velocimetry under physiologic resting conditions. One model served as control and two models were stented with an Endurant endograft, one without and one with partial renal artery coverage with 1.3 mm of stent fabric extending beyond the marker (16\% area coverage). The magnitude and oscillation of wall shear stress, relative residence time and backflow in the renal artery were analyzed. Results: In both stented models, a region along the caudal renal artery wall presented with low and oscillating wall shear stress, not present in the control model. A region with very low wall shear stress (<0.1 Pa) was present in the model with partial coverage over a length of 7 mm, compared to a length of 2 mm in the model without renal coverage. Average renal backflow area percentage in the renal artery incrementally increased from control (0.9%) to the stented model without (6.4%) and with renal coverage (18.8%). Conclusion: In this flow model partial renal coverage after EVAR causes low and marked oscillations in wall shear stress, potentially promoting atherosclerosis and subsequent renal artery stenosis. Awareness of the device-dependent offset between the fabric edge and the radiopaque markers is therefore important in endovascular practice.

description: Little information exists regarding Ebola vaccine rVSVΔGZEBOV-GP and pregnancy. The Sierra Leone Trial to Introduce a Vaccine against Ebola (STRIVE) randomized participants without blinding to immediate or deferred (18-24 weeks postenrollment) vaccination. Pregnancy was an exclusion criterion, but 84 women were inadvertently vaccinated in early pregnancy or became pregnant <60 days after vaccination or enrollment. Among immediate vaccinated women, 45% (14/31) reported pregnancy loss, compared with 33% (11/33) of unvaccinated women with contemporaneous pregnancies (relative risk 1.35, 95% CI 0.73-2.52). Pregnancy loss was similar among women with higher risk for vaccine viremia (conception before or <14 days after vaccination) (44% [4/9]) and women with lower risk (conception >15 days after vaccination) (45% [10/22]). No congenital anomalies were detected among 44 live-born infants examined. These data highlight the need for Ebola vaccination decisions to balance the possible risk for an adverse pregnancy outcome with the risk for Ebola exposure.

description: If T has only countably many complete types, yet has a type of infinite multiplicity then there is a ccc forcing notion Q such that, in any Q --generic extension of the universe, there are non-isomorphic models M_1 and M_2 of T that can be forced isomorphic by a ccc forcing. We give examples showing that the hypothesis on the number of complete types is necessary and what happens if `ccc' is replaced other cardinal-preserving adjectives. We also give an example showing that membership in a pseudo-elementary class can be altered by very simple cardinal-preserving forcings.
The Chern-Simons state for the non-diagonal Bianchi IX model

description: The Bianchi IX mixmaster model is quantized in its non-diagonal form, imposing spatial diffeomorphism, time reparametrization and Lorentz invariance as constraints on physical state vectors before gauge-fixing. The result turns out to be different from quantizing the diagonal model obtained by gauge-fixing already on the classical level. For the non-diagonal model a generalized 9-dimensional Fourier transformation over a suitably chosen manifold connects the representations in metric variables and in Ashtekar variables. A space of five states in the metric representation is generated from the single physical Chern-Simons state in Ashtekar variables by choosing five different integration manifolds, which cannot be deformed into each other. For the case of a positive cosmological constant $Λ$ we extend our previous study of these five states for the diagonal Bianchi IX model to the non-diagonal case. It is shown that additional discrete (permutation) symmetries of physical states arise in the quantization of the non-diagonal model, which are satisfied by two of the five states connected to the Chern-Simons state. These have the characteristics of a wormhole groundstate and a Hartle-Hawking `no-boundary' state, respectively. We also exhibit a special gauge-fixing of the time reparametrization invariance of the quantized system and define an associated manifestly positive scalar product. Then the wormhole ground state is left as the only normalizable physical state connected to the Chern-Simons state.

Sex role

description: This dissertation consists of the musical score for my work for voice and ensemble, "Voices from the Killing Jar," and an accompanying paper. "Voices from the Killing Jar" was written for the Wet Ink Ensemble in 2010-2011, and takes as its subject seven female characters from literature, history, and myth. In the paper, a musical analysis of each of the work's seven movements is accompanied by brief literary analyses of the characters and their sources. This is followed by relevant details of my history as a performer, composer, and Wet Ink Ensemble co- director, and a discussion of the unique instrumentation and performance practice encapsulated in this piece as a result of my close work with Wet Ink over the last several years. The paper concludes with an examination of my dual role as a composer and performer in this piece and in my work in general, and with a brief discussion of social and gender-theoretical issues that inform my work as a female composer.

Persistent Currents in Quantum Chaotic Systems

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: The persistent current of ballistic chaotic billiards is considered with the help of the Gutzwiller trace formula. We derive the semiclassical formula of a typical persistent current $I^{typ}$ for a single billiard and an average persistent current $$ for an ensemble of billiards at finite temperature. These formulas are used to show that the persistent current for chaotic billiards is much smaller than that for integrable ones. The persistent currents in the ballistic regime therefore become an experimental tool to search for the quantum signature of classical chaotic and regular dynamics.

Voice and Belonging: How Open vs. Restricted Models of National Incorporation Shape Immigrant-Minority Identification and Participation
Creators: Bech, Emily Cochran

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Political science
subject: FOS: Political science
subject: Citizenship--Social aspects
subject: Emigration and immigration
subject: Political participation

description: Young Europeans with immigrant background live in societies that practice different models of national identity, where nations continually define themselves through citizenship policies, political rhetoric, and everyday social interaction that signal membership to be more open, or more closed, to those without native roots. In other words, young immigrant minorities are constantly receiving signals about whether or not they are accepted as part of the national community. This dissertation investigates how these 'working national identities' influence immigrant minorities' civic integration, defined as their identification with the national-civic community and their participation in political life. Denmark and Sweden, broadly similar societies with historically similar immigration patterns, differ in their citizenship policies, political debates over integration and levels of discrimination. Using this variation, the dissertation analyzes primary survey and interview data collected among immigrant-minority young adults in both countries to observe the effects of their citizenship policies, political debates and social inclusion on those minorities' perceptions, and the influence of those perceptions on their civic integration.

I find that social inclusion increases minorities' national identification, while politician concern raises the likelihood that they will vote. But causes of engagement in other forms of political action vary more: while minority men are more likely to engage in political action if they perceive their groups to be excluded, women are more likely to do so if they identify with the community. Throughout, I find men to be more affected by the exclusion of their own ethnic and religious groups than women are. Further, higher levels of exclusion and greater politicization of minority issues in Denmark mean that these factors have stronger effects there, but also raise participation by spurring interest in national politics.

Classical Correlations and Entanglement in Quantum Measurements
Creators: name: Vedral, V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze a quantum measurement where the apparatus is initially in a mixed state. We show that the amount of information gained in a measurement is not equal to the amount of entanglement between the system and the apparatus, but is instead equal to the degree of classical correlations between the two. As a consequence, we derive an uncertainty-like expression relating the information gain in the measurement and the initial mixedness of the apparatus. Final entanglement between the environment and the apparatus is also shown to be relevant for the efficiency of the measurement.

description: Hadronic spectral functions of $τ$ decays have been used in the past to provide an alternative determination of the LO Hadronic Vacuum Polarization relevant for the (g-2) of the muon. Following recent developments and results in Lattice QCD+QED calculations, we explore the possibility of studying the isospin breaking corrections of $τ$ spectral functions for this prediction. We present preliminary results at physical pion mass based on Domain Wall Fermion ensembles generated by the RBC/UKQCD collaboration.

Stationary and static cylindrically symmetric Einstein spaces of the Lewis form

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The derivation of the general solutions for stationary and static cylindrically symmetric Einstein spaces of Lewis form is revisited and the physical and geometrical meaning of the parameters appearing in the resulting solutions are investigated. It is shown that three of the parameters (and the value of the cosmological constant) are essential, of which one characterizes the local gravitational field and appears in the Cartan scalars, while the remaining two give information about the topological identification made to produce cylindrical symmetry. Other than the cosmological constant, they can be related to the parameters of the vacuum Weyl and Lewis classes, whose interpretation was previously investigated by da Silva et al. (1995a, 1995b).

Vying for Fiber: A Comparative Analysis on Local Government Decision-Making for Fiber Internet

Infrastructure (Economics)--Planning

description: High speed Internet access is becoming increasingly important to people's daily lives and futures (US FCC, 2010). In an effort to provide broadband services, cities have been investing in fiber optic infrastructure which can achieve transmittal speeds at almost 100 times faster than traditional Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Internet (Crawford, 2009). This thesis assesses three cities that have attained fiber Internet infrastructure and operations in three radically different ways and will identify relevant themes when planning for fiber. Chattanooga, TN, Kansas City, MO and Provo, UT are cities that have expressed their understanding of the implications of high-speed Internet for their communities. Uncovering the planning processes that led to these infrastructures as well as assessing the outcomes of them are vital to the pursuit of fiber in other localities. Through an evaluation consisting of comprehensive document review, city contracts, as well as interviews with related city officials, this study found that infrastructure planning processes for fiber-optic Internet vary based on level of state regulation, degree of private sector involvement, and perceived notions of economic development. The study also found that intra-city technological upgrades may have been the initial reasoning for public fiber infrastructure ventures; however, when deciding whether to connect fiber Internet to homes, economic development was the main driver.
