Subjects: classificationCode: 5.1
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: Research suggests that higher rates of health conditions are associated with lower levels of physical activity, but this association is not well characterized in U.S. Military Veterans. The current study utilized a sample of U.S. military veterans (n = 3,989) from the 2019-2020 National Health and Resiliency in Veterans Study (NHRVS). Physical activity levels (insufficient, moderate, and active), physical and mental health were evaluated with a variety of self-report questionnaires. After controlling for covariates, veterans with any disability, asthma, chronic pain, diabetes, high cholesterol, and stroke were significantly less likely to report sufficient physical activity compared to insufficient physical activity (ps ≤ 0.01). After controlling for covariates, veterans with any disability, asthma, chronic pain, and probable lifetime nicotine dependence were less likely to report moderate physical activity compared to insufficient physical activity (ps ≤ 0.02). After controlling for covariates, veterans with probable lifetime PTSD were more likely to report sufficient levels of physical activity relative to insufficient physical activity (p = 0.02). Veterans with statistically significant health conditions may find engaging in physical activity more difficult or less desirable. Covariates (e.g., health functioning, SES, BMI, and age) explained a significant amount of the variance in physical activity levels.

description: Purpose: Biopsies play a crucial role in determining the classification and staging of tumors. Ultrasound is frequently used in this procedure to provide real-time anatomical information. Using augmented reality (AR), surgeons can visualize ultrasound data and spatial navigation information seamlessly integrated with real tissues. This innovation facilitates faster and more precise biopsy operations. Methods: We developed an AR biopsy navigation system with low display latency and high accuracy. Ultrasound data is initially read by an image capture card and streamed to Unity via net communication. In Unity, navigation information is rendered and transmitted to the HoloLens 2 device using holographic remoting. Retro-reflective tool tracking is implemented on the HoloLens 2, enabling simultaneous tracking of the ultrasound probe and biopsy needle. Distinct navigation information is provided during in-plane and out-of-plane punctuation. To evaluate the effectiveness of our system, we conducted a study involving ten participants, for puncture accuracy and biopsy time, comparing to traditional methods. Results: Our proposed framework enables ultrasound visualization in AR with only $16.22\pm11.45ms$ additional latency. Navigation accuracy reached $1.23\pm 0.68mm$ in the image plane and $0.95\pm 0.70mm$ outside the image plane. Remarkably, the utilization of our system led to $98\%$ and $95\%$ success rate in out-of-plane and in-plane biopsy. Conclusion: To sum up, this paper introduces an AR-based ultrasound biopsy navigation system characterized by high navigation accuracy and minimal latency. The system provides distinct visualization contents during in-plane and out-of-plane operations according to their different characteristics. Use case study in this paper proved that our system can help young surgeons perform biopsy faster and more accurately.
The cost of awareness: a network perspective on negative impacts of communication technology on psychological wellbeing
Creators: name: Shin, Inyoung
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation investigates how new communication technologies, which afford ubiquitous accessibility to one’s social networks affect his/her psychological well-being. Research on this topic often suggests that these technologies accelerate the fragmentation of an individual’s personal networks, which, in turn, causes serious mental health problems such as depression. Counter to this view, I propose that new communication technologies allow individuals to have extensive awareness of various types of people in their networks, leading to diverse effects on their wellbeing. Given this proposition, my work focuses on the complexities of context, where continuous flows of information about social ties entails both positive and negative effects on an individual’s wellbeing. To generate a deeper understanding of this phenomenon, I conceptualize network awareness as one’s knowledge about other network members’ lives, relate it to use of communication technologies and examine negative psychological outcomes, such as stress and anxiety. The methodological approach of this study is primarily quantitative, but I leverage the strengths of qualitative interviews to add depth and detail.The findings lend greater theoretical foundations for the relationship between newer forms of communication technology and psychological well-being. I found that use of these technologies was not directly associated with negative psychological outcomes. Rather, it was indirectly associated with one’s psychological wellbeing through heightened network awareness. More specifically, use of some technologies, such as mobile messages and Facebook was associated with higher awareness of undesirable life events in the lives of others. This increased awareness then became a source of psychological discomfort in the form of higher stress or less belief in a just world. However, the negative relationship between awareness and psychological wellbeing was not uniform. Instead, it became more or less pronounced depending on the relationship an individual had with the people who experienced the undesirable life events, as well as which life events that individual had personally gone through themselves. Altogether, these findings suggest that the indirect effects of communication technology on psychological wellbeing are limited: users of technology experience different social strains depending on with whom they communicate what information through which technology. This dissertation ultimately corroborates the idea that the use of communication technologies is socially embedded, and its implications are socially determined.

description: Entropy production is a fundamental concept that plays a crucial role in the second law of thermodynamics and the measure of irreversibility. It imposes rigorous constraints on the kinds of transformations allowed in thermodynamic processes. Using an optical setup, here we experimentally demonstrate the division of entropy production of an open quantum system into a population-related component and a coherence-related component, validating previous theoretical predictions. The coherence-related component represents a genuine quantum contribution with no classical counterpart. By adjusting bath temperatures and initial coherences of the system, we first derive the total entropy production due to both populations and coherences, then remove all the coherences of the system to solely obtain the population-related contribution. The difference between these two results permits to isolate the coherence-related term. Based on this division, our experiment ultimately proves that irreversibility at the quantum level can be reduced through properly harnessing the two contributions to entropy production.

Design of a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar facility for dynamic material characterization
Creators: name: Spaniol, Joseph R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: It is important to know the mechanical response of materials over a full range of strain rates. In machining and stamping, or in ballistic type events such as bullet penetration, shell impacts, and explosive blasts, strain rates of 100 s-1 to 10,000 s-1 or even higher for hyper-velocity impacts, are achieved. A Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar facility is generally used to study the mechanical response of materials at these strain rates. The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar produces precise data which can be used to study the dynamic response of materials. Over the last 70 years the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar has been subject to many scrutinous studies which push the boundaries of materials it can test. In this thesis, the design of a compressive Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar facility is presented. The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar is designed to obey the fundamental assumptions: one-dimensional and undispersed wave propagation as well as uniaxial loading of the specimen. Each subsystem of the compressive Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar is closely examined to outline its role in obeying these assumptions as well as its role in obtaining accurate data acquisition, then a design of each subsystem is presented. The presented facility improves accuracy, functionality, and ease of operation compared to previous work. Improvements in strain gage design increased the maximum attainable impact velocity from 40 m/s to at least 50 m/s. The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar facility is thoroughly tested to verify the design. The dynamic response of aluminum 6061-T6511 is tested between strain rates of 1,000 s-1 and 6,300 s-1 to verify the accuracy of the facility. Testing showed that the response of 6061-T6511 is strain rate dependent which is consistent with literature. The flow stress of 6061-T6511 increases as strain rate increases from 350 MPa to 400 MPa at a rate of about 0.009 MPa-s. The dynamic response of polycarbonate is reported at strain rates between 1,000 s-1 and 7,000 s-1. The flow stress increases by about 8.2% over the range of strain rates. Super activated carbon and a super activated carbon composite is also studied using aluminum pressure bars, specifically designed for soft materials.

Computational connection matrix theory
Creators: name: Spendlove, Kelly
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: We develop a computational and categorical framework for connection matrix theory. In terms of computations, we give an algorithm for computing the connection matrix based on algebraic-discrete Morse theory. The makes the connection matrix available, for the first time, as a computational tool within applied topology and dynamics. In addition, the algorithm provides a straightforward constructive proof of the existence of connection matrices. In terms of categories, our formulation resolves the non-uniqueness of the connection matrix, as well as relates the connection matrix to persistent homology. We extend existing computational Conley theory to incorporate connection matrix theory. This is done by developing a setting, which we call transversality models, in which discrete approximations to continuous flows can be used to compute connection matrices for the underlying continuous system. We make applications to a Morse theory on spaces of braid diagrams.Finally, we provide an implicit discrete Morse pairing for cubical complexes. This enables the computation of connection matrices in high-dimensional cubical complexes. We benchmark our algorithm on a set of such examples.

The scientist's dilemma: the ethics of advocacy
Creators: name: Stroffolino, Andrew
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Scientific information can play a key role in how people manage risk. While much sociological research has explored how non-scientists struggle to acquire policy-relevant information, relatively little research has explored how scientists struggle to provide it. Drawing on the “institutional logics” perspective, I describe scientists’ efforts to positively impact society. My three empirical chapters explore scientists’ discourse regarding morality and risk communication at the levels of institutions, individuals, and organizations. With respect to institutions, I found that prominent handbooks on the nature of science offer no indication that scientists ought to communicate with the public or any useful advice for overcoming perceptions that scientists who engage in advocacy are biased. Moreover, consensus reports on risk tend not to discuss ethical issues regarding public communication. These findings suggest that scientists lack norms for why and how they should communicate risk to the public.With respect to individuals, I spoke with academic scientists about appropriate and inappropriate ways of communicating risk. Although respondents spoke of risk communication as a moral responsibility, several factors made it a moral dilemma, particularly for scientists who lacked tenure. Compared to immediate threats like looming hurricanes, scientists were more reluctant to reach out to the media about intangible threats like climate change. Scientists also tended to view more direct forms of public engagement as personally risky. Additionally, respondents discussed structural and material constraints to conducting policy-relevant science within the academy, resulting in a paucity of information to communicate.With respect to organizations, I examined how science organizations from around the world responded to a manslaughter trial against seven scientists and engineers. The prosecution argued that the defendants had offered poor scientific advice in the days before a deadly earthquake. I argue that the lack of norms for communicating about immediate seismic threats prompted science organizations to rally behind the defendants. Some organizations argued for the scientists’ innocence, while others advocated what I call “scientific immunity,” that is, the notion that scientists cannot be held legally accountable for what they communicate to the public, even when what they communicate is scientifically unfounded.An overarching finding is that academic scientists experience moral dilemmas regarding the public communication of risk, particularly about hazards that the public does not believe pose an immediate threat. Because these dilemmas are partially rooted in the lack of norms for public communication, academic scientists might benefit from more training in how to communicate with the public. Normalizing risk communication might lead to better risk management strategies that would ultimately improve public health.
The melancholy malcontent in early modern theater and culture
Creators: name: Tanner, William Aaron
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: The following study illuminates a set of failed responses to social and political problems sedimented, personified, and explored through the “malcontent,” a politically charged word borrowed from French politics that became a key social and literary type in early modern England. Much prior criticism has approached typology as a set of static signs to be catalogued; instead, this study traces the role of the malcontent in an evolving inquiry in England at the turn of the seventeenth century into questions of injustice, participatory politics, tyranny, and political stability. The end of the Elizabethan and beginning of the Jacobean eras was a time of great fear and anxiety, forging these questions of abstract political philosophy into matters of immediate, pressing concern. Attending to the historical and literary contexts of exemplary malcontents (both historical persons and literary figures), the study demonstrates that far from being a static figure, the malcontent was a flexible hermeneutic for syncretically fusing multiple discourses: much as Drew Daniel has described “melancholy” as a Deleuzian “assemblage,” the politicized malcontent subset of melancholics acts almost as a rubics cube for early modern thinkers to examine the confluences and consequences of shifting arrangements of ideas. Because these early modern writers deployed poetry and theater as methodologies of political philosophy, this study, too, requires an analytical hermeneutic which views literature and politics as coextensive or co-constitutive, while at the same time reserving the paradoxical possibility that they might also be mutually exclusive. Therefore, the study adopts the frameworks of two philosophers, Nietzsche and Aristotle, who extensively considered the intersection of literature and political philosophy; using the parameters of these competing philosophical frameworks, this study develops interpretations of malcontent literary experiments from Philip Sidney to William Shakespeare that are in conversation with the history of Western political thought while remaining acutely attentive to their historical specificity. The purpose of this study is thus twofold: I seek to develop a deeper and more nuanced account of some of the most pessimistic literary thought of the early modern period, what we might view as a “negative politics”; and in so doing, I hope to provide the reader with reflections of our own moment of political polarization and anxiety, as well as challenges to some of our most cherished political assumptions, many of which emerged from the more optimistic writing of this period.

description: Several attempts have been made to implement text command control for game agents. However, current technologies are limited to processing predefined format commands. This paper proposes a pioneering text command control system for a game agent that can understand natural language commands expressed in free-form. The proposed system uses a large language model (LLM) for code generation to interpret and transform natural language commands into behavior branch, a proposed knowledge expression based on behavior trees, which facilitates execution by the game agent. This study conducted empirical validation within a game environment that simulates a Pokémon game and involved multiple participants. The results confirmed the system's ability to understand and carry out natural language commands, representing a noteworthy in the realm of real-time language interactive game agents.

Why do firms adopt ESOPs? An industry perspective
Creators: name: Townsend, Phela
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: The past decades have witnessed overall growth in broad-based employee stock ownership plans among U.S. firms. However, in recent years ESOP growth has stagnated, and there has been limited research on why firms pursue employee ownership. This study revisits earlier work on predictors of employee ownership, expanding on previous studies that focus on firm-level predictors. I investigate whether industry characteristics can explain firm decisions to adopt employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), exploring a critical variable of interest with important consequences for society: product market concentration. I find that product market concentration, a proxy for firm market power, is indeed, a positive predictor, explaining inter-industry differences in ESOP prevalence. This study makes a unique contribution by using industry panel data to examine the extent to which product market concentration and other industry characteristics predict ESOP adoption, pushing the boundaries of current thinking on firm motives and environmental conditions predictive of firm ESOP adoption.

Beyond Tanzania, subspecies tavetensis occurs in Kenya (coastal region), Malawi, eastern Zimbabwe, and Mozambique to northern regions of South Africa (Ackery et al. 1995, p. 441). Subspecies C. t. pemba van Someren, 1966, and C. t. shaba Berger, 1981, associated with tavetensis by Kielland (1990), occur on Pemba island and in Lualaba, DRC, respectively. Charaxes etesipe gordoni van Someren, 1936, from the region of Mt Kenya, which is phenotypically very similar, may also belong with C. tavetensis (see Ackery et al. 1995, p. 441; Larsen 1996, p. 294). Charaxes etesipe (Godart, 1824) occurs to the north and west of the range of C. tavetensis, from Sierra Leone east to Ethiopia and south to Uganda and northwestern Tanzania.

Henning 1989: 305,306 (6 figs). Kielland 1990: 284 (3 figs). SI: Figure 17a – h.
Forewing length: male 29 – 36 mm [mean (n = 20) 32.49 mm, SD = 1.320]; female 34 – 42 mm [mean (n = 13) 37.51 mm, SD = 1.985]. van Someren (1967, p. 294) gave male forewing length as 33 – 34 mm.
Note: the females are very different to the black males, and are also polymorphic – three named female forms are recognized in this subspecies: ‘ ethalion ’, ‘ rosae ’ and ‘ swynnertoni ’ (Henning 1989, p. 305 – 306). However, with individual variation in pattern and size, to some extent these intergrade.
Records
Eastern Tanzania, inland to Mikumi, Kilimanjaro and the Rubeho, Nguru and Nguu mountains, flying from sea level to 2000 m (Kielland 1990, p. 101). Henning (1989, p. 306) notes Dar-es-Salaam, Morogoro, Arusha and Taveta, this last apparently reflecting van Someren (1967, p. 295). Rogers (in Butler 1901, p. 24) noted this species (as Charaxes rosae Butler) as fairly common at Taveta – from where OUMNH has eight males collected by Rogers at c. 2500 ft, April and May 1905, one female (f. ‘ ethalion ’) May 1905, ex Wiggins, together with one male from New Moshi 6 May 1916, collected by Lamborn. The BMNH has males from New Moshi, March 1916 (F.C. Selous), Moshi July 1920 (W.N. van Someren) and ‘ 6 miles NW of Moshi ’ May 1916 (Buchanan). Not encountered by Liseki (2009), C. e. littoralis is included here as a member of the lower slopes fauna. Beyond Tanzania this race occurs in the coastal belt of Kenya. Collectively, the nine subspecies of C. ethalion (Boisduval, 1847) range from Kenya south to South Africa, and west as far as southern DRC and Zambia (Ackery et al. 1995, p. 441).

Reducing workflow model complexity for an automatic workflow discovery algorithm
Creators: name: Tripathi, Juhi

description: With the increasing number of adverse patient outcomes and deaths due to medical errors, process mining techniques have been used to build automatic workflow discovery algorithms to assist teams during the treatment procedure, better understand the treatment practice and potentially help improve patient outcomes. These automatic workflow discovery algorithms use event logs that has all the information of the events that are executed in the treatment procedure, to extract a process model. Automatic workflow discovery algorithms are now used to analyze the trauma resuscitation process and improvise the patient outcomes. The widespread use of process mining techniques to discover and analyze workflows in healthcare, has motivated this study that has analyzed, how varying a parameter that contributes to the workflow discovery algorithm changes the workflow model, discusses the reasons behind those changes in the discovered workflow, presents the optimum value of the parameter that produces best results and backs up the theoretical discussion with numerical results. We use an expert-based model that is derived from hand drawn model by medical experts after multiple revisions, that serves as the ground truth and to compare the accuracy of our workflow model. Based on the comparison of the workflow model with the expert model, the variations observed could be classified into the categories : an incorrect addition of treatment activity, a redundant addition of treatment activity or a correct addition of treatment activity to the workflow. This work is an attempt in the direction to make the workflow model generated using the workflow algorithm, more accurate and exhibits least complexity, thereby making it easy to comprehend. The workflow discovery algorithm used for this work has two phases : (1) Construction of an event sequence of consensus activities that has the occurrence probability of more than the predefined threshold. This occurrence probability is determined using the event logs. This phase ensures that the workflow model comprises of the frequent activities that have appeared in the event logs. (2) Inclusion of non-consensus activities, that are common but dispersed between consensus activities in the workflow. This inclusion is done after multiple iterations through consensus activities to determine the activities that are interleaved between consensus activities and when considering a window of consecutive consensus activities, the combined probability of occurrence of the non-consensus is more than the predefined threshold.This study explores one of the contributing hyperparameters of the algorithm, to infer its effect on the workflow model. The analysis falls in agreement with the underlying notion behind this study, that varying the hyperparameter of workflow discovery algorithms results in varying complexity of the workflow model.
Synthesis of borosilicate gels with phenyl modifications and its effects on proton conductivity

description: Silicon alkoxides with boron alkoxides or boric acid were used to prepare borosilicate xerogels. Nitric acid was used to promote the hydrolysis of the silicon alkoxides, tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and phenyltriethoxysilane (PhTES). Triethyl borate (TEB) and boric acid were the source of boron in the gels. The compositions were: 85 wt. % TEOS - 15 wt. % TEB, 80 wt. % TEOS - 15 wt. % TEB - 5 wt. % PhTES, 75 wt. % TEOS - 15 wt. % TEB, 10 wt. % PhTES, 85 wt. % TEOS - 15 wt. % Boric Acid, 80 wt. % TEOS - 15 wt. % Boric Acid - 5 wt. % PhTES and 75 wt. % TEOS - 15 wt. % Boric Acid, 10 wt. % PhTES.Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were performed to investigate the loss of weight and heat flows in the gels as a function of temperature. The weight loss and the energy absorbed during the endothermic peak decreased with the increasing PhTES content. Gels made from TEB show lower weight losses and enthalpy changes compared to similar gels made from boric acid.X-Ray Diffraction was performed for phase identification and to determine the amount of crystallinity in the gels. The diffraction patterns contained peaks that were attributed to boric acid precipitates, which occurred in all the gels. Increase in PhTES decreased the amount of crystallinity in the gels. Gels made from TEB show lower amounts of crystallinity compared to similar gels made from boric acid.Moisture adsorption-desorption was performed to investigate the water retention capabilities of the gels. The increases in PhTES content decreased the water retained in the gels. Adsorption values of the gels made from TEB and boric acid are comparable, but the mass loss due to desorption are higher for the gels synthesized from boric acid.Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) was performed to measure the proton conductivity of the gels. The increase in PhTES content reduces the proton conductivity slightly. Proton conductivity is dependent on the number of protons and number of sites available for hopping of protons. The phenyl in PhTES decreased the number of protons and sites. Gels prepared from TEB show higher proton conductivity compared to same gels made from boric acid.

description: In systems modelling, a 'system' typically comprises located resources relative to which processes execute. One important use of logic in informatics is in modelling such systems for the purpose of reasoning (perhaps automated) about their behaviour and properties. To this end, one requires an interpretation of logical formulae in terms of the resources and states of the system; such an interpretation is called a 'resource semantics' of the logic. This paper shows how inferentialism -- the view that meaning is given in terms of inferential behaviour -- enables a versatile and expressive framework for resource semantics. Specifically, how inferentialism seamlessly incorporates the assertion-based approach of the logic of Bunched Implications, foundational in program verification (e.g., as the basis of Separation Logic), and the renowned number-of-uses reading of Linear Logic. This integration enables reasoning about shared and separated resources in intuitive and familiar ways, as well as about the composition and interfacing of system components.

Between London and Lima: Latin America, the anglophone world, and twentieth-century and contemporary fiction
Creators: name: Valenzuela, Alexa M/
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation explores the relationship between Latin American settings and the Anglophone world in the twentieth-century and contemporary novels of Joseph Conrad, D.H. Lawrence, Graham Greene, and Juan Gabriel Vásquez, arguing for a reconsideration of both Anglophone and Hispanophone literary histories and traditions. By tracing representations of Britain’s vast informal empire in the Americas following the Spanish-Cuban-American War of 1898, I imagine the existence of an Anglo-Latin American cultural and political sphere whose structure is rendered legible in the thematic and formal connections formed within and across the texts of this dissertation. Beginning in the fictional Latin American republic of Costaguana in Conrad’s Nostromo (1904), this project examines the respective Mexican, Cuban, and Panamanian settings of Lawrence’s The Plumed Serpent (1926), Greene’s Our Man in Havana (1958), and Vásquez’ The Secret History of Costaguana (2007), which lie firmly within the boundaries of multiple competing and overlapping imperial systems, including the Spanish, British, and U.S. empires. These novels produce and are produced by the relations of informal empire that emerge from and give shape to the space of Anglo-Latin America.
