Subjects: subject: Text Mining, Sentiment analysis, Granger Causality, Vector Auto-Regression

description: The way investor sentiment engenders specific economic, social, or political ramifications represents the confluence of sociology, economics, and political science as interrelated academic disciplines. The accelerated progression of the Internet has significantly amplified the capacity for investor sentiment dissemination to exert a profound impact on economic and social dynamics. In particular, the emergence of social network platforms such as Twitter and StockTwits has enabled information transmission in virtual space to penetrate more quickly and deeply into the real world. This study analyzes whether investor sentiment on the Internet affects stock market in the real world based on StockTwits big data. The research explores the correlation between investor sentiment derived from social media platforms and stock market behavior, as both factors hold substantial importance in contemporary society. By building a time series model, I conducted an integrated type of analysis of social media data and market data. The results of this study are as follows. Firstly, based on the Granger causality test, investor sentiment within the preceding six trading days has been shown to precipitate stock market volatility, thereby indicating a robust lagging and unidirectional causal relationship between investor sentiment and stock price fluctuations. Second, based on the result of vector auto regression model, investor sentiment of stocks in different sectors is positively or negatively associated with stock market volatility.

description: Nearly all glass forming liquids display secondary relaxations, dynamical modes seemingly distinct from the primary alpha relaxations. We show that accounting for driving force fluctuations and the diversity of reconfiguring shapes in the random first order transition theory yields a low free energy tail on the activation barrier distribution which shares many of the features ascribed to secondary relaxations. While primary relaxation takes place through activated events involving compact regions, secondary relaxation corresponding to the tail is governed by more ramified, string-like, or percolation-like clusters of particles. These secondary relaxations merge with the primary relaxation peak becoming dominant near the dynamical crossover temperature $T_c$, where they smooth the transition between continuous dynamics described by mode-coupling theory and activated events.

description: Gamification is a promising approach to tackle users’ infrequent and decreasing use of health apps. For this purpose, extant research provides developers of health apps with a vast number of different game elements. By abstracting from the implementation of single game elements and choosing a more holistic approach to gamification concepts, we iteratively develop a taxonomy of gamification concepts for health apps using inductive and deductive approaches and discuss its transferability to other gamification contexts. We contribute to a profound understanding of the main characteristics of gamification concepts and enable researchers and practitioners to classify and distinguish them. Our results provide interesting insights in to the essential characteristics of health apps’ gamification concepts.

description: We report stronger constraints on the parameters of Yukawa-type corrections to Newtonian gravity from measurements of the lateral Casimir force between sinusoidally corrugated surfaces of a sphere and a plate. In the interaction range from 1.6 to 14 nm the strengthening of previously known high confidence constraints up to a factor of $2.4\times 10^7$ is achieved using these measurements. It is shown that the replacement of a plane plate with a corrugated one in the measurements of the normal Casimir force by means of an atomic force microscope would result in the strengthening of respective high confidence constraints on the Yukawa-type interaction by a factor of $1.1\times 10^{12}$. The use of a corrugated plate instead of a plane plate in the experiment by means of a micromachined oscillator also leads to strengthening of the obtained constraints. We further obtain constraints on the parameters of Yukawa-type interaction from the data of experiments measuring the gradient of the Casimir pressure between two parallel plates and the gradient of the Casimir-Polder force between an atom and a plate. The obtained results are compared with the previously known constraints. The possibilities of how to further strengthen the constraints on non-Newtonian gravity are discussed.

description: The large volume detector at Gran Sasso employs roughly 15.000 limited streamer chambers for its tracking system. Streamer chamber performance strongly depends upon the nature of gas mixture used to fill it. We describe a comparison between the use of the standard binary (30% argon + 70% isobutane) and a low-hydrocarbon ternary (2% argon + 10% isobutane + 88% carbon dioxide) gas mixture. The ternary mixture results in a 400 volts shorter single count rate plateau, a 20% smaller primary streamer pulse-height and a much higher streamer multiplicity. The single count rate plateau was also studied for a wide composition range for isobutane, argon and carbon dioxide mixtures. Finally the source and effect of gas impurities, on performance of chambers operated with the standard binary mixture, was also investigated.

description: The quadrupole tile calorimeters of KLOE (QCAL) are two compact detectors placed close to the interaction point and surrounding the focusing quadrupoles. Their purpose is to increase the hermeticity of KLOE calorimetry. Each QCAL consists of a sampling structure of lead plates and scintillator tiles with wavelength shifter (WLS) fibers and mesh photomultiplier readout arranged in 16 azimuthal sectors. The arrangement of WLS fibers allows the measurement of the longitudinal position of the showers from time of flight (TOF).In this paper we describe the QCAL design and assembly and present preliminary results obtained with both cosmic rays and photons from KL decays. The time and energy calibration procedures are also discussed in detail.

description: The high-energy resolution O K-edge absorption NEXAFS spectrum has been measured for in situ prepared potassium superoxide. The experimental data have been analyzed in detail by multiple scattering calculations using self-consistent field potentials. In particular the so-called pi resonance at rising edge, which presents a double peaks structure, has been totally resolved and reproduced by the calculations. This analysis indicates that the grown material is arranged in a KO2 structure with an O-O distance between 1.31Å and 1.34Å. Moreover, the calculation demonstrates both a complete ionic character of the bound between the O2- anion and the K atoms and a strong interaction between the anion and the solid-state matrices.

description: The hierarchical growth of dark matter haloes, in which galaxies are hosted, has been studied and modeled using various approaches. In this paper we use a modified version the Sheth & Lemson algorithm for a $\mathrmΛ$ cold dark matter power spectrum, and model the growth of a Milky-Way sized halo with microsolar mass resolution, corresponding to the typical Jeans mass for a dark matter Weakly Interacting Massive Particle with mass of 100 GeV. We then compute the \emph{unevolved} subhalo mass function and build-up a Milky-Way halo placing and evolving its satellites. This subhalo population is used to study the $γ$-ray emission from dark matter annihilation. In this case, the subhaloes which populate the host halo have been computed considering only progenitor haloes accreted by the main branch of the tree, so as to correctly treat the embedding of sub-subhaloes inside subhaloes. Each subhalo will indeed host atthe present-time sub-subhaloes accreted when it was an isolated system. In order to compute the sub-subhalo population of a Milky-Way dwarf galaxy, like Draco, and to study its $γ$-ray emission, we first estimate the Draco virial mass at merging redshift $z_m$ and then we run the merger tree from $z_m$ following the halo down to the dark matter Jeans mass. We then study the effect on the Fermi-LAT (GLAST) detectability for both subhaloes in the Milky-Way and in Draco, and we show how subhaloes cannot be responsible for the boost factor needed for detection.

description: The implications of the formation of strange quark matter in neutron stars and in core-collapse supernovae is discussed with special emphasis on the possibility of having a strong first order QCD phase transition at high baryon densities. If strange quark matter is formed in core-collapse supernovae shortly after the bounce, it causes the launch of a second outgoing shock which is energetic enough to lead to a explosion. A signal for the formation of strange quark matter can be read off from the neutrino spectrum, as a second peak in antineutrinos is released when the second shock runs over the neutrinosphere.

description: Rudner (2001, 2005) proposed a method for evaluating classification accuracy in tests based on item response theory (IRT). In this paper, a latent distribution method is developed. For comparison, both methods are applied to a set of real data from a state test. While the latent distribution method relaxes several of the assumptions needed to apply Rudner's method, both approaches yield extremely comparable results. A simplified approach for applying Rudner's method and a short SPSS routine are presented. Accessed 13,137 times on https://pareonline.net from October 17, 2006 to December 31, 2019.

description: A method for the full three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of the trajectories of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) using Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) data is presented. Four CMEs that were simultaneously observed by the inner and outer coronagraphs (COR1 and 2) of the Ahead and Behind STEREO satellites were analysed. These observations were used to derive CME trajectories in 3-D out to ~15Rsun. The reconstructions using COR1/2 data support a radial propagation model. Assuming pseudo-radial propagation at large distances from the Sun (15-240Rsun), the CME positions were extrapolated into the Heliospheric Imager (HI) field-of-view. We estimated the CME velocities in the different fields-of-view. It was found that CMEs slower than the solar wind were accelerated, while CMEs faster than the solar wind were decelerated, with both tending to the solar wind velocity.

description: We present the first simultaneous observations of chromospheric "anemone" jets in solar active regions with Hinode SOT Ca II H broadband filetergram and Ca II K spetroheliogram on the Domeless Solar Telescope (DST) at Hida Observatory. During the coordinated observation, 9 chromospheric anemone jets were simultaneously observed with the two instruments. These observations revealed three important features, i.e.: (1) the jets are generated in the lower chromosphere, (2) the length and lifetime of the jets are 0.4-5 Mm and 40-320 sec, (3) the apparent velocity of the jets with Hinode SOT are 3-24 km/s, while Ca II K3 component at the jets show blueshifts (in 5 events) in the range of 2- 6 km/s. The chromospheric anemone jets are associated with mixed polarity regions which are either small emerging flux regions or moving magnetic features. It is found that the Ca II K line often show red or blue asymmetry in K2/K1 component: the footpoint of the jets associated with emerging flux regions often show redshift (2-16 km/s), while the one with moving magnetic features show blueshift (around 5 km/s). Detailed analysis of magnetic evolution of the jet foaming regions revealed that the reconnection rate (or canceling rate) of the total magnetic flux at the footpoint of the jets are of order of 10^{16} Mx/s, and the resulting magnetic energy release rate (1.1-10) x 10^{24} erg/s, with the total energy release (1-13) x 10^{26} erg for the duration of the magnetic cancellations, 130s. These are comparable to the estimated total energy, 10^{26} erg, in a single chromospheric anemone jet. An observation-based physical model of the jet is presented. The relation between chromospheric anemone jets and Ellerman bombs is discussed.

description: The underlying question when comparing treatments is usually whether an individual would do better with treatment X than they would with treatment Y. But there are often practical and theoretical problems in giving people both treatments and comparing the data. This paper presents the use of propensity score matching as a methodology that can be used to compare the effectiveness of different treatments. The method is applied to answer two questions: (1) “Should examinees take a college admissions test near or a few years after graduation?” and (2) “Do accommodated students receive an unfair advantage?” Data from a large admission testing program is used.

title: A Comparison of Conventional and Liberal (Free-Choice) Multiple-Choice Tests

Year: 2006

description: We compare conventional multiple-choice tests with so-called “liberal” multiple-choice tests, also known as “free-choice” tests, from a theoretical standpoint. The style of the questions is identical in these two alternative test formats, but in a liberal/free-choice test candidates may select as many options per question as they wish; the marking scheme penalises incorrect selections via negative marking, to the extent that candidates have nothing to gain through blind guesswork. We show that in the absence of blind guesswork candidates really do get the marks they deserve in a liberal/freechoice test, since the format of the test does not introduce any statistical distribution whatsoever. This is the case even when the candidates have partial knowledge and can therefore engage in educated guesswork. By contrast, in conventional multiple-choice tests candidates will engage in guesswork whenever they are unsure of the correct answer. We also show that liberal/free-choice tests reward partial knowledge more generously than conventional tests do, while on the other hand they punish misinformed students more severely than conventional tests do

Year: 2006

description: The minimum competency test (MCT) strategy used in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) requires schools, in return for federal funding, to bring their students up to the level of proficiency (the minimum standard) in mathematics and reading/language arts by school year 2013-2014. This strategy involves both students (who have to reach the minimum level of achievement) and schools (who suffer the high stakes if students don't achieve the minimum). Reconsidering NCLB's MCT strategy suggests comparing it with other MCTs on the basic issues all MCTs must address: what achievement, what performance standards, and what consequences. Doing so suggests possible reforms to improve NCLB. Accessed 18,067 times on https://pareonline.net from January 24, 2006 to December 31, 2019.

description: In this thesis, I explore Gregory’s conception and use of paideia in his poetry as understood in four main ways: (1) Gregory’s knowledge of, familiarity with, and utilisation/manipulation of the literary tradition. (2) His use of paideia as a communication code for self-fashioning, as well as for fashioning his friends and enemies. (3) His pedagogy, that is, the didactic methods used to teach biblical knowledge and theological doctrine. (4) The place of classical culture in the Christian (ascetic) life. In other words, Gregory’s conception of (a Christian) paideia. This thesis focuses upon particular (groups of) poems by Gregory that explore how exactly he puts into practice the episcopal identity which he forges for himself as prytanis of both sacred and profane wisdom.

description: The diameter of a finite group $G$ with respect to a generating set $A$ is the smallest non-negative integer $n$ such that every element of $G$ can be written as a product of at most $n$ elements of $A \cup A^{-1}$. We denote this invariant by $\diam_A(G)$. It can be interpreted as the diameter of the Cayley graph induced by $A$ on $G$ and arises, for instance, in the context of efficient communication networks. In this paper we study the diameters of a finite abelian group $G$ with respect to its various generating sets $A$. We determine the maximum possible value of $\diam_A(G)$ and classify all generating sets for which this maximum value is attained. Also, we determine the maximum possible cardinality of $A$ subject to the condition that $\diam_A(G)$ is "not too small". Connections with caps, sum-free sets, and quasi-perfect codes are discussed.
title: Bringing balance and technical accuracy to reporting odds ratios and the results of logistic regression analyses
Creators: name: Osborne, Jason W.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2006

description: Logistic regression and odds ratios (ORs) are powerful tools recently becoming more common in the social sciences. Yet few understand the technical challenges of correctly interpreting an odds ratio, and often it is done incorrectly in a variety of different ways. The goal of this brief note is to review the correct interpretation of the odds ratio, how to transform it into the more easily understood and intuitive relative risk (RRs) estimate, and a suggestion for dealing with odds ratios or relative risk estimates that are below 1.0 so that perceptually their magnitude is equivalent of Ors or RRs greater than 1.0.

description: Despite evidence indicating the general acceptability of curriculum-based measures (CBM) to teachers (e.g., Eckert, Shapiro, & Lutz, 1995), there has to date been no empirical evidence demonstrating the relative level of acceptability of measures of written expression that might set the stage for their increased adoption by teachers. Results of an exploratory survey designed to assess teacher's perceptions of various measures of written expression are reported. The relative acceptability of the measures for this sample of 335 teachers from several locations throughout the United States, the relationship of the measures to demographics, and directions for future research are discussed.

description: We present a comprehensive study of short range order in a-Si_1-xCx:H using X-ray scattering and Si K-edge EXAFS. The X-ray scattering probes the total radial distribution function; by detailed fitting in R-space we measure short range order parameters around C and Si for the first and second shell. The C-C distances in first and second shell indicate that both carbidic and graphitic configurations are present. The coordination numbers indicate that there is a tendency to chemical order; at high C concentrations there is evidence for chemical order with phase separation. The EXAFS measurements probe local order in the Si-C alloy phase; there is clear evidence that even this phase is chemically ordered.

description: A sensitive, wide or narrow band, solid state spectrometer operating at a wavelength of 0.85 cm has been built which is described in detail. The spectrometer is of the crystal detector reflection-cavity-in-magic-Tee-bridge type and can operate from room down to liquid helium temperatures. The cavity Is excited In the TE₁₁₁ mode and the magnetic field modulated at 140 cps. Both large and small field modulations are incorporated for scope presentation of line width varying from about 0.5 to 500 gauss. Signals from single crystals of copper sulphate pentahydrate and polycrystalline 1-1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) have been obtained. From the latter, a sensitivity limit of about 10⁻⁸ gram is obtained at room temperature for a bandwidth of 1 cps indicating a sensitivity of the order of 10⁻¹¹ gram at 4.2° K. Various methods of improvement were discussed in order to reach the ultimate sensitivity.

description: After a period of inflationary expansion, the Universe reheated and reached full thermal equilibrium at the reheating temperature. In this talk, based on the paper, arXiv:0710.3349, we point out that, in the context of effective low-energy supersymmetric models, LHC measurements may allow one to determine reheating temperature as a function of the mass of the dark matter particle assumed to be either an axino or a gravitino. An upper bound on their mass and on the reheating temperature may also be derived.

description: We have compared the radio emission from a sample of parsec-scale AGN jets as measured by the VLBA at 15 GHz, with their associated gamma-ray properties that are reported in the Fermi LAT 3-month bright source list. We find in our radio-selected sample that the gamma-ray photon flux correlates well with the quasi-simultaneously measured compact radio flux density. The LAT-detected jets in our radio-selected complete sample generally have higher compact radio flux densities, and their parsec-scale cores are brighter (i.e., have higher brightness temperature) than the jets in the LAT non-detected objects. This suggests that the jets of bright gamma-ray AGN have preferentially higher Doppler-boosting factors. In addition, AGN jets tend to be found in a more active radio state within several months from LAT-detection of their strong gamma-ray emission. This result becomes more pronounced for confirmed gamma-ray flaring sources. We identify the parsec-scale radio core as a likely location for both the gamma-ray and radio flares, which appear within typical timescales of up to a few months of each other.

title: The Reliability, Validity, and Utility of Self-Assessment

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2006

description: Despite widespread use of self-assessment, teachers have doubts about the value and accuracy of the technique. This article reviews research evidence on student self-assessment, finding that (1) self-assessment produces consistent results across items, tasks, and short time periods; (2) self-assessment provides information about student achievement that corresponds only in part to the information generated by teacher assessments; (3) self-assessment contributes to higher student achievement and improved behavior. The central finding of this review is that (4) the strengths of self-assessment can be enhanced through training students how to assess their work and each of the weaknesses of the approach (including inflation of grades) can be reduced through teacher action.

description: In this article we present a comprehensive exposition of a method for performing numerical simulations of lattice gauge theories with dynamical fermions. Its main aspects had been presented elsewhere. This work is a systematic study of the feasibility of the method, which amounts to separating the evaluation of the Fermionic Determinant from the generation of gauge configurations through a microcanonical process. The main advantage consists in the fact that the parts of the simulation which are most computer intensive must not be repeated when varying the parameters of the theory. Moreover we achieve good control over critical slowing down, since the configurations over which the determinant is measured are always very well decorrelated; in addition, the actual implementation of the method allows us to perform simulations at exactly zero fermion mass. We relate the numerical feasibility of this approach to an expansion in the number of flavours; the criteria for its convergence are analyzed both theoretically and in connection to physical problems. On more speculative grounds, we argue that the origin of the applicability of the method stems from the non locality of the theory under consideration.
Entanglement criteria and nonlocality for multi-mode continuous variable systems

description: We demonstrate how to efficiently derive a broad class of inequalities for entanglement detection in multi-mode continuous variable systems. The separability conditions are established from partial transposition (PT) in combination with several distinct necessary conditions for a quantum physical state, which include previously established inequalities as special cases. Remarkably, our method enables us to support Peres' conjecture to its full generality within the framework of Cavalcanti-Foster-Reid-Drummond multipartite Bell inequality [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99}, 210405 (2007)] that the nonlocality necessarily implies negative PT entangled states.

title: Using Regression Mixture Analysis in Educational Research
Creators: name: Ding, Cody S.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2006

description: Conventional regression analysis is typically used in educational research. Usually such an analysis implicitly assumes that a common set of regression parameter estimates captures the population characteristics represented in the sample. In some situations, however, this implicit assumption may not be realistic, and the sample may contain several subpopulations such as high math achievers and low math achievers. In these cases, conventional regression models may provide biased estimates since the parameter estimates are constrained to be the same across subpopulations. This paper advocates the applications of regression mixture models, also known as latent class regression analysis, in educational research. Regression mixture analysis is more flexible than conventional regression analysis in that latent classes in the data can be identified and regression parameter estimates can vary within each latent class. An illustration of regression mixture analysis is provided based on a dataset of authentic data. The strengths and limitations of the regression mixture models are discussed in the context of educational research.

description: Modern data acquisition (DAQ) systems are based on a network of computers running specialized software to support and control all the aspects of the DAQ stages. In this framework we have evaluated a solution proposed by Hewlett-Packard based around the HP9000/742rt processor operating in the VME enviroment. Hewlett-Packard has friendly provided us a complete system formed by a Host System and a Target System. In the present note we report on the results of tests related to the hardware configuration and to the Operating System; these results are of interest for the KLOE experiment in view of a possible usage of real time VME systems in the DAQ structure. We plan to perform similar tests on other VME based real time Systems (e.g. Motorola, CES, DEC Alpha in VME, etc.).

Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics Study of Thermal Energy Transport in Au-SAM-Au junctions

description: Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations were performed on Au-SAM (self-assembly monolayer)-Au junctions to study the thermal energy transport across the junctions. Thermal conductance of the Au-SAM interfaces was calculated. Temperature effects, simulated external pressure effects, SAM molecule coverage effects and Au-SAM bond strength effects on the interfacial thermal conductance were studied. It was found that the interfacial thermal conductance increased with temperature increase at temperatures lower than 250K, but it did not have large changes at temperatures from 250K to 400K. Such a trend was found to be similar to experimental observations on similar junctions. The simulated external pressure did not affect the interfacial thermal conductance. SAM molecule coverage and Au-SAM bond strength were found to significantly affect on the thermal conductance. The vibration densities of state (VDOS) were calculated to explore the mechanism of thermal energy transport. Interfacial thermal resistance was found mainly due to the limited population of low-frequency vibration modes of the SAM molecule. Ballistic energy transport inside the SAM molecules was confirmed, and the anharmonicity played an important role in energy transport across the junctions. A heat pulse was imposed on the junction substrate, and heat dissipation inside the junction was studied. Analysis of the junction response to the heat pulse showed that the Au-SAM interfacial thermal resistance was much larger than the Au substrate and SAM resistances separately. This work showed that both the Au substrate and SAM molecules transported thermal energy efficiently, and it was the Au-SAM interfaces that dominated the thermal energy transport across the Au-SAM-Au junctions.
