BARRIERS AND BELONGING: THE EXPERIENCES OF NON-MALE DISABLED FACULTY AND STAFF IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Creators: name: Vincent, Michele

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Gender
subject: Education, Higher
subject: Disability studies

description: This qualitative study explores the experiences of non-male, self-identified individuals with disabilities who are faculty or staff (NMDFS) in higher education. Using DisCrit theory, Feminist Disability Studies, and the principles of Disability Justice as theoretical frameworks, the research examines the challenges NMDFS face, the strategies they employ to address these challenges, and the supports they encounter in their academic environments. The study is based on the narratives of eight NMDFS who describe pervasive ableism, sexism, and marginalization within academic institutions. Participants reported facing social, institutional, and family-related challenges, including microaggressions, exclusion, and a lack of appropriate accommodations.
The findings highlight the intersectionality of gender, disability, and other marginalized identities, complicating NMDFS experiences in higher education. Despite these obstacles, NMDFS demonstrated resilience through personal empowerment, self-advocacy, skill development, and technological adaptations. The study also underscores the importance of mentorship, peer support, and institutional advocacy in supporting NMDFS. Recommendations for practice include proactive accessibility measures, formal mentorship programs, financial support, and institutional accountability. This research contributes to a growing body of literature on the intersectional experiences of disabled individuals in academia, calling for systemic change to promote equity, inclusion, and justice within higher education.

description: We consider a polling system: a queueing system of $N\ge 1$ queues with Poisson arrivals $Q_1,...,Q_N$ visited in a cyclic order (with or without switchover times) by a single server. For this system we derive the probability generating function $\mathscr Q(\cdot)$ of the joint queue length distribution at an arbitrary epoch in a stationary cycle, under no assumptions on service disciplines. We also derive the Laplace-Stieltjes transform $\mathscr W(\cdot)$ of the joint workload distribution at an arbitrary epoch. We express $\mathscr Q$ and $\mathscr W$ in the probability generating functions of the joint queue length distribution at visit beginnings, ${\mathscr V}_{b_i}(\cdot)$, and visit completions, ${\mathscr V}_{c_i}(\cdot)$, at $Q_i$, $i=1,...,N$. It is well known that ${\mathscr V}_{b_i}$ and ${\mathscr V}_{c_i}$ can be computed in a broad variety of cases. Furthermore, we establish a workload decomposition result.

description: We present a theoretical framework to understand a modified fluctuation-dissipation theorem valid for systems close to non-equilibrium steady-states and obeying markovian dynamics. We discuss the interpretation of this result in terms of trajectory entropy excess. The framework is illustrated on a simple pedagogical example of a molecular motor. We also derive in this context generalized Green-Kubo relations similar to the ones derived recently by Seifert., Phys. Rev. Lett., 104, 138101 (2010) for more general networks of biomolecular states.

On the puzzling plateau in the specific star formation rate at z=2-7

description: The observational indications for a constant specific star-formation rate (sSFR) in the redshift range z=2-7 are puzzling in the context of current galaxy-formation models. Despite the tentative nature of the data, their marked conflict with theory motivates a study of the possible implications. The plateau at sSFR ~ 2 Gyr^-1 is hard to reproduce because (a) its level is low compared to the cosmological specific accretion rate at z > 6, (b) it is higher than the latter at z ~ 2, (c) the natural correlation between SFR and stellar mass makes it difficult to manipulate their ratio, and (d) a low SFR at high z makes it hard to produce enough massive galaxies by z ~ 2. Using a flexible semi-analytic model, we explore ad-hoc modifications to the standard physical recipes trying to obey the puzzling observational constraints. Successful models involve non-trivial modifications, such as (a) a suppressed SFR at z > 4 in galaxies of all masses, by enhanced feedback or reduced SFR efficiency, following an initial active phase at z > 7, (b) a delayed gas consumption into stars, allowing the gas that was prohibited from forming stars or ejected at high z to form stars later in more massive galaxies, and (c) enhanced growth of massive galaxies, in terms of either faster assembly or more efficient starbursts in mergers, or by efficient star formation in massive haloes.

description: Models predict that more than half of all impacting meteoroids should be carbonaceous, reflecting the abundance of carbon-rich asteroids in the main belt and near-Earth space. Yet carbonaceous chondrites represent only about 4% of meteorites recovered worldwide. Here we analyse 7,982 meteoroid impacts and 540 potential meteorite falls from 19 global observation networks and demonstrate that intense thermal stress at low perihelion distances coupled with the filtering effect of Earth`s atmosphere explains this mismatch. Meteoroids repeatedly subjected to intense thermal cycling near the Sun fracture and weaken, removing the most friable objects even before atmospheric entry. Our data also show that tidally disrupted meteoroid streams produce especially fragile fragments that rarely survive to the ground. Consequently, compact, higher-strength, thermally cycled bodies dominate the meteorite record. These findings reconcile the predicted carbonaceous flux with its scarcity in collections, underscoring how orbital evolution and atmospheric filtering shape the materials that reach Earth`s surface.

description: Electron holes are suggested to be an important source for generation of electron-cyclotron maser radiation. We demonstrate that electron holes generated in a ring-horseshoe distribution in the auroral-kilometric radiation source region have the capacity to emit band-limited radiation. The radiation is calculated in the proper frame of a circular model hole and shown to be strictly perpendicular in this frame. Its bandwidth under auroral conditions is of the order of $\sim1$ kHz, which is a reasonable value. {It is also shown that much of the drift of fine structure in the radiation can be interpreted as Doppler shift. Estimates based on data are in good agreement with theory. Growth and absorption rates have been obtained for the emitted radiation. However, the growth rate of a single hole obtained under conservative conditions is small, too small for reproducing the observed fine structure flux. Trapping of radiation inside the hole for the hole's lifetime helps amplifying the radiation additionally but introduces other problems. This entire set of questions is discussed at length and compared to radiation from the global horseshoe distribution.} The interior of the hole produces a weak absorption at slightly higher frequency than emission. The absorptivity is roughly two orders of magnitude below the growth rate of the radiation thus being weak even when the emission and absorption bands overlap. Transforming to the stationary observer's frame it is found that the radiation becomes oblique against the magnetic field. For approaching holes the radiated frequencies may even exceed the local electron cyclotron frequency.

description: We provide a resolution of one of the long-standing puzzles in the theory of disordered systems. By reformulating the functional renormalization group (FRG) for the critical behavior of the random field Ising model in a superfield formalism, we are able to follow the associated supersymmetry and its spontaneous breaking along the FRG flow. Breaking is shown to occur below a critical dimension $d_{DR}\simeq 5.1$ and leads to a breakdown of the "dimensional reduction" property. We compute the critical exponents as a function of dimension and give evidence that scaling is described by three independent exponents.

description: We present results of a bright polarization-entangled photon source operating at 1552 nm via type-II collinear degenerate spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate crystal. We report a conservative inferred pair generation rate of 123,000 pairs/s/mW into collection modes. Minimization of spectral and spatial entanglement was achieved by group velocity matching the pump, signal and idler modes and through properly focusing the pump beam. By utilizing a pair of calcite beam displacers, we are able to overlap photons from adjacent down-conversion processes to obtain polarization-entanglement visibility of 94.7 +/- 1.1% with accidentals subtracted.
description: 4 pages, 7 color figures. Revised manuscript includes the following changes: corrected pair generation rate from 44,000/s/mW pump to 123,000/s/mW pump; replaced Fig. 1b to enhance clarity; minor alterations to the title, abstract and introduction; grammatical corrections

description: Quantum walks, both discrete (coined) and continuous time, form the basis of several quantum algorithms and have been used to model processes such as transport in spin chains and quantum chemistry. The enhanced spreading and mixing properties of quantum walks compared with their classical counterparts have been well-studied on regular structures and also shown to be sensitive to defects and imperfections in the lattice. As a simple example of a disordered system, we consider percolation lattices, in which edges or sites are randomly missing, interrupting the progress of the quantum walk. We use numerical simulation to study the properties of coined quantum walks on these percolation lattices in one and two dimensions. In one dimension (the line) we introduce a simple notion of quantum tunneling and determine how this affects the properties of the quantum walk as it spreads. On two-dimensional percolation lattices, we show how the spreading rate varies from linear in the number of steps down to zero, as the percolation probability decreases to the critical point. This provides an example of fractional scaling in quantum walk dynamics.

description: We show that a von Neumann measurement on a part of a composite quantum system unavoidably creates distillable entanglement between the measurement apparatus and the system if the state has nonzero quantum discord. The minimal distillable entanglement is equal to the one-way information deficit. The quantum discord is shown to be equal to the minimal partial distillable entanglement that is the part of entanglement which is lost, when we ignore the subsystem which is not measured. We then show that any entanglement measure corresponds to some measure of quantum correlations. This powerful correspondence also yields necessary properties for quantum correlations. We generalize the results to multipartite measurements on a part of the system and on the total system.

Endogenous endophthalmitis secondary to urosepsis caused by Gram-negative bacteria. A case report

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Background: Endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare intraocular infection, responsible for 2-15% of endophthalmitis cases. It is related to a systemic infection in up to 52-90% of cases, in the context of systemic infections such as liver abscesses, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, meningitis, intravenous drug users and fungemia, associated with urosepsis. It has a mortality rate of 4%. Predisposing entities are intravenous drug use, type 2 diabetes, cancer, lupus, liver disease, among others. This occurs mainly by hematogenous dissemination caused by an extraocular focus crossing the oculohematogenous barrier, being more frequent its etiology by gram-positive bacteria (60% in North America). Endogenous endophthalmitis is considered a serious and rare intraocular infection resulting from hematogenous dissemination from a focus distal to the eyeball. The most common presentation of endophthalmitis is due to a local primary infection. However, the presentation secondary to this condition is equally extraordinary. We present the case of a patient with type 2 diabetes who was poorly refractory to treatment with diabetic ketoacidosis triggered by a concomitant urinary tract infection and sudden presentation of bilateral blindness secondary to endophthalmitis. Initially, symptoms suggestive of diabetic ketoacidosis accompanied by data of systemic inflammatory response with a septic focus detected in the urinary tract were presented. A urine culture obtained Escherichia coli growth and the sudden-progressive presentation of blindness were elements that led us to suspect endogenous endophthalmitis secondary to hematogenous dissemination.

description: We prove the existence of a fully nonlinear conserved curvature perturbation on large scales in Galileon-type scalar field models in two approaches. The first approach is based on the conservation of energy-momentum tensor of the Galileon field, which is also the familiar approach in understanding the conservation in $k$-essence or perfect fluid models. We show that the fluid corresponding to the Galileon field becomes perfect and barotropic on large scales, which is responsible to the conservation. The difference from $k$-essence model is that, besides the energy-momentum conservation, the Einstein equation must be employed in order to complete the proof of barotropy. In the second approach, we derive the fully non-perturbative action for the curvature perturbation $ζ$ in Galileon model on large scales, and argue that $ζ=const$ is indeed an exact solution on large scales. This conservation of curvature perturbation is important since it relates the later and the primordial universe.

description: It has been roughly three decades since laser cooling techniques produced ultracold atoms, leading to rapid advances in a vast array of fields. Unfortunately laser cooling has not yet been extended to molecules because of their complex internal structure. However, this complexity makes molecules potentially useful for many applications. For example, heteronuclear molecules possess permanent electric dipole moments which lead to long-range, tunable, anisotropic dipole-dipole interactions. The combination of the dipole-dipole interaction and the precise control over molecular degrees of freedom possible at ultracold temperatures make ultracold molecules attractive candidates for use in quantum simulation of condensed matter systems and quantum computation. Also ultracold molecules may provide unique opportunities for studying chemical dynamics and for tests of fundamental symmetries. Here we experimentally demonstrate laser cooling of the molecule strontium monofluoride (SrF). Using an optical cycling scheme requiring only three lasers, we have observed both Sisyphus and Doppler cooling forces which have substantially reduced the transverse temperature of a SrF molecular beam. Currently the only technique for producing ultracold molecules is by binding together ultracold alkali atoms through Feshbach resonance or photoassociation. By contrast, different proposed applications for ultracold molecules require a variety of molecular energy-level structures. Our method provides a new route to ultracold temperatures for molecules. In particular it bridges the gap between ultracold temperatures and the ~1 K temperatures attainable with directly cooled molecules (e.g. cryogenic buffer gas cooling or decelerated supersonic beams).

description: We have measured the isotope shift of the narrow quadrupole-allowed 5 2S1/2 - 4 2D5/2 transition in 86Sr+ relative to the most abundant isotope 88Sr+. This was accomplished using high-resolution laser spectroscopy of individual trapped ions, and the measured shift is Delta-nu_meas^(88,86) = 570.281(4) MHz. We have also tested a recently developed and successful method for ab-initio calculation of isotope shifts in alkali-like atomic systems against this measurement, and our initial result of Delta-nu_calc^(88,86) = 457(28) MHz is also presented. To our knowledge, this is the first high precision measurement and calculation of that isotope shift. While the measurement and the calculation are in broad agreement, there is a clear discrepancy between them, and we believe that the specific mass shift was underestimated in our calculation. Our measurement provides a stringent test for further refinements of theoretical isotope shift calculation methods for atomic systems with a single valence electron.
The 2-3 mixing and mass split: atmospheric neutrinos and magnetized spectrometers

description: We study dependence of the atmospheric $ν_μ$ and $\barν_μ$ fluxes on the deviations of the 2-3 mixing from maximal, $|45^\circ - θ_{23}|$, on the $θ_{23}$-octant and on the neutrino mass splitting $Δm_{32}^2$. Analytic expressions for the $θ_{23}-$deviation effect and the octant asymmetry are derived. We present conservative estimations of sensitivities of the iron (magnetized) calorimeter detectors (ICAL) to these parameters. ICAL can establish the $θ_{23}$-deviation at higher than 3$σ$ confidence level if $| 45^\circ - θ_{23}| > 6^{\circ}$ with the exposure of 1 Mton$\cdot$yr. Sensitivity to the octant is low for zero or very small 1-3 mixing, but it can be substantially enhanced for $θ_{13} > 3^\circ$. ICAL can measure the difference of $Δm_{32}^2$ in $ν$ and $\barν$ channels (the CPT test) with accuracy $0.8\times 10^{-4}$ eV$^2$ (3$σ$) with 1 Mton$\cdot$yr exposure, and the present MINOS result can be excluded at $>5σ$ confidence level. We discuss possible ways to further improve sensitivity of the magnetized spectrometers.

Comment on "Interface state recombination in organic solar cells"

description: In a recent paper, Street et al. [Phys. Rev. B 81, 205307 (2010)] propose first order recombination due to interface states to be the dominant loss mechanism in organic bulk heterojunction solar cells, based on steady-state current--voltage characteristics. By applying macroscopic simulations, we found that under typical solar cell conditions, monomolecular or bimolecular recombination cannot be inferred from the slope of the light intensity dependent photocurrent. In addition, we discuss the validity of calculating a mobility--lifetime product from steady-state measurements. We conclude that the experimental technique applied by Street et al. is not sufficient to unambiguously determine the loss mechanism.

description: We improve on Fourier transforms (FT) between imaginary time $τ$ and imaginary frequency $ω_n$ used in certain quantum cluster approaches using the Hirsch-Fye method. The asymptotic behavior of the electron Green's function can be improved by using a "sumrule" boundary condition for a spline. For response functions a two-dimensional FT of a singular function is required. We show how this can be done efficiently by splitting off a one-dimensional part containing the singularity and by performing a semi-analytical FT for the remaining more innocent two-dimensional part.

Complexified sigma model and duality

description: We show that the equations of motion associated with a complexified sigma-model action do not admit manifest dual SO(n,n) symmetry. In the process we discover new type of numbers which we called `complexoids' in order to emphasize their close relation with both complex numbers and matroids. It turns out that the complexoids allow to consider the analogue of the complexified sigma-model action but with (1+1)-worldsheet metric, instead of Euclidean-worldsheet metric. Our observations can be useful for further developments of complexified quantum mechanics.

description: We measure and compare three correlation lengths proposed to describe the extent of structural order in amorphous systems. In particular, the recently proposed "patch correlation length" is measured as a function of temperature and fragility and shown to be comparable with other measures. In addition, we demonstrate that the patch method also allows us to characterize the symmetries of the local order without any a priori knowledge of it.

description: Dynamics of hadro-quarkonium system is formulated, based on the channel coupling of a light hadron (h) and heavy quarkonium (Q\bar{Q}) to intermediate open-flavor heavy-light mesons (Q\bar{q}, \bar{Q}q). The resulting effective interaction is defined by overlap integrals of meson wavefunctions and (hq\bar q) coupling, where h is pi, rho, omega, phi, without fitting parameters. Equations for hadro-quarkonium amplitudes and resonance positions are written explicitly, and numerically calculated for the special case of pi Upsilon(nS) (n=1,2,3). It is also shown, that the recently observed by Belle two peaks Z_b(10610) and Z_b(10650) are in agreement with the proposed theory. It is demonstrated, that theory predicts peaks at the BB*, B*B* thresholds in all available pi Upsilon(nS) channels. Analytic nature of these peaks is investigated, and shown to be due to a common multichannel resonance poles close to the BB*, B*B* thresholds. The general mechanism of these hadro-quarkonium resonances does not assume any molecular or four-quark (tetraquark) dynamics.

description: We derive rigorous one- and two-dimensional mean-field equations for cigar- and pancake-shaped dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates with arbitrary polarization angle. We show how the dipolar interaction modifies the contact interaction of the strongly confined atoms. In addition, our equations introduce a nonlocal potential, which is anisotropic for pancake-shaped condensates. We propose to observe this anisotropy via measurement of the condensate aspect ratio. We also derive analytically approximate density profiles from our equations. Both the numerical solutions of our reduced mean-field equations and the analytical density profiles agree well with numerical solutions of the full Gross-Pitaevskii equation while being more efficient to compute.

description: A numerical method for calculation electronic structure of a nanosystem composed of a pseudoisocyanine (PIC) molecule assembled on a silver nanoparticle is developed. The electronic structure of the silver nanoparticle containing 125 atoms is calculated within the local density version of the density functional method. A model of an Ag atom embedded in the center of a spherical jellium cluster is used. The host electron Green function is calculated by means of the spherically symmetric expansion. The principal theoretical tool is the scattering theory using the Green function method. The molecule -- silver nanoparticle interaction is studied using the approach similar to that of the Anderson model for transition metal impurities in solids. Localized levels are shown to split off from the top of the band of the nanosystem. The electronic structure calculations yield information on the character of chemical bonding in the PIC molecule --- silver particle nanosystem.

Unification of Pulses in Long and Short Gamma-Ray Bursts: Evidence from Pulse Properties and their Correlations

description: We demonstrate that distinguishable gamma-ray burst pulses exhibit similar behaviors as evidenced by correlations among the observable pulse properties of duration, peak luminosity, fluence, spectral hardness, energy-dependent lag, and asymmetry. Long and Short burst pulses exhibit these behaviors, suggesting that a similar process is responsible for producing all GRB pulses. That these properties correlate in the observer's frame indicates that intrinsic correlations are strong enough to not be diluted into insignificance by the dispersion in distances and redshift. We show how all correlated pulse characteristics can be explained by hard-to-soft pulse evolution, and we demonstrate that "intensity tracking" pulses not having these properties are not single pulses; they instead appear to be composed of two or more overlapping hard-to-soft pulses. In order to better understand pulse characteristics, we recognize that hard-to-soft evolution provides a more accurate definition of a pulse than its intensity variation. This realization, coupled with the observation that pulses begin near-simultaneously across a wide range of energies, leads us to conclude that the observed pulse emission represents the energy decay resulting from an initial injection, and that one simple and as yet unspecified physical mechanism is likely to be responsible for all gamma-ray burst pulses regardless of the environment in which they form and, if GRBs originate from different progenitors, then of the progenitors that supply them with energy.
