description: Transport of angular momentum in stellar interiors is currently not well understood. Asteroseismology can provide us with estimates of internal rotation of stars and thereby advances our understanding of angular momentum transport. We can measure core-rotation rates in red-giant stars and we can place upper bounds on surface-rotation rates using measurements of dipole ($l=1$) modes. Here, we aim to determine the theoretical sensitivity of modes of different spherical degree towards the surface rotation. Additionally, we aim to identify modes that can potentially add sensitivity at intermediate radii. We used asteroseismic rotational inversions to probe the internal stellar rotation profiles in red-giant models from the base of the red-giant branch up to the luminosity bump. We used the inversion method of multiplicative optimally localised averages (MOLA) to assess how well internal and surface rotation rates can be recovered from different mode sets and different synthetic rotation profiles. We confirm that dipole mixed modes are sufficient to set constraints on the average core-rotation rates in red giants. However, surface-rotation rates estimated with only dipole mixed modes are contaminated by the core rotation. We show that the sensitivity to the surface rotation decreases from the base of the red-giant branch until it reaches a minimum at 0.6-0.8$L_\text{bump}$ due to a glitch in the buoyancy frequency. Thereafter a narrow range of increased surface sensitivity just below the bump luminosity exists. Quadrupole and octopole modes have more sensitivity in the outer parts of the star. If observed, quadrupole and octopole modes enable us to distinguish between differential and solid body rotation in the convection zone. To obtain accurate estimates of rotation rates at intermediate radii, acoustic oscillation modes with a spherical degree of $l\approx10$ are needed.

A Pieri-Chevalley formula in the K-theory of a G/B-bundle

description: The main result of this announcement is a formula for the tensor product of the class of a homogeneous line bundle with a Schubert class, expressed as a K(X)-linear combination of Schubert classes. We believe that this formula is the most general uniform result in the intersection theory of Schubert classes: it is related to a recent result of Fulton and Lascoux who presented a similar formula for a GL_n(C)/B-bundle. Indeed, in this case, their formula and ours coincide once one knows how to translate between their combinatorics with tableaux and ours with Littelmann paths. O. Mathieu has also proved the positivity which is implied by our formula. Applying the Chern character to our formula, and equating the lowest order terms we obtain a relative version of the classical result of Chevalley alluded to in the title of this paper.
Stock volatility, return jumps and uncertainty shocks during the Great Depression

description: There are a multitude of explanations for the depth and length of the Great Depression, of which uncertainty has been proposed as one possible explanation (Romer 1990). The 1930s not only saw extreme declines in output and prices, but stock volatility was also at record highs (Schwert 1989). This high stock volatility was generated by a series of discontinuous jumps as news about uncertainty arrived regularly during the 1930s, as shown by applying the Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard (2006) test for jumps in a time-series. To provide a more historical narrative for these jumps, I outline some key events during the Great Depression that generated a sense of uncertainty for businesses and households which occurred contemporaneously to these extreme jumps. While much of the literature has placed Roosevelt's New Deal as a primary source of uncertainty, I do not find much evidence for this hypothesis, and instead find that banking crises, the breakdown of the gold standard, popular unrest and uncertainty related to the brewing war in Europe were primarily responsible for both jumps in returns and the uncertainty of the 1930s.

description: The UV radiation field is a critical regulator of gas-phase chemistry in surface layers of disks around young stars. In an effort to understand the relationship between photocatalyzing UV radiation fields and gas emission observed at infrared and sub-mm wavelengths, we present an analysis of new and archival HST, Spitzer, ALMA, IRAM, and SMA data for five targets in the Lupus cloud complex and 14 systems in Taurus-Auriga. The HST spectra were used to measure LyA and FUV continuum fluxes reaching the disk surface, which are responsible for dissociating relevant molecular species (e.g. HCN, N2). Semi-forbidden C II] 2325 and UV-fluorescent H2 emission were also measured to constrain inner disk populations of C+ and vibrationally excited H2. We find a significant positive correlation between 14 micron HCN emission and fluxes from the FUV continuum and C II] 2325, consistent with model predictions requiring N2 photodissociation and carbon ionization to trigger the main CN/HCN formation pathways. We also report significant negative correlations between sub-mm CN emission and both C II] and FUV continuum fluxes, implying that CN is also more readily dissociated in disks with stronger FUV irradiation. No clear relationships are detected between either CN or HCN and LyA or UV-H2 emission. This is attributed to the spatial stratification of the various molecular species, which span several vertical layers and radii across the inner and outer disk. We expect that future observations with JWST will build on this work by enabling more sensitive IR surveys than were possible with Spitzer.

description: The study of cross-category effects has been recently gaining attention in the marketing research area. Several statistical models have been proposed (Manchada, Ansari et al. 1999; Russell and Petersen 2000) that attempt to measure these effects in market basket data. Despite their useful- ness, the computational cost of these models makes them somewhat limited in the context of very large databases (VLDB). A very large database has not only a large number of data records, but also a large number of variables. Exploratory data mining techniques such as association rule mining can be used to discover product/category associations in VLDB. In association mining, the association between two products, A and B is assessed by three meas- ures, support, confidence, and lift (Agrawal, Imielinski et al. 1993; Brin, Motwani et al. 1997). The support is the co-occurrence frequency, but usually represented by their percentage, P(AB). The confidence is a conditional probability, P(A|B). The lift is P(AB)/P(A)P(B), which measures the strength of the association. An association rule is a statement like if a customer buys product A, he will also buy product B with a probability c%. Such rules can be used to coordinate marketing activities across products/categories in the form of cross-selling recommendations that are made based on the overall data set, which is composed of transactions from different customer segments. Product/category associations, however, may differ across such attributes as customer demographics and psychographics. When the aggregate data set is divided into multiple subsets based on different customer segments, the support, confidence, and lift may vary quite significantly across these subsets. As such, the retailer may benefit from targeting cross-selling promotions between specific product pairs to specific customer segments. This paper proposes an approach to identify such paired product associations in customer segments.

Therapist values : Assessing and treating traditional and non-traditional relationships
Creators: name: McCarthy, Barry

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: A common mental health assumption exists that all clinicians should be able to treat all problems and all clients. An unspoken belief among many clinicians is that nontraditional sexual preferences and feelings are driven by psychopathology. In contrast, in order to provide high-quality clinical treatment, a positive sexual health model advocates that the clinician exhibits interest in the client’s sexual issue, be trained and competent with the presenting problem, and provide therapy congruent with the clinician’s personal and professional values. Nontraditional clients and couples deserve that sexuality plays a positive role in their lives and relationship. Although the clinician needs to assess for psychopathology, it is crucial that the therapist not assume that nontraditional sexuality is motivated by psychopathology. All clients/couples deserve to be treated empathically and respectfully and receive high-quality mental health and sex therapy services.

description: We have observed the pinned/biased moments in the superlattices consisting of ferromagnetic (FM) SrRuO3 (SRO) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) SrMnO3 (SMO)bilayer. The alternate stacking of SRO and SMO leading to a low field positive magnetoresistance with enhanced hysteretic field dependent magnetoresistance under the application of the out-of-plane magnetic field. We attribute these effects to the observed biased/pinned magnetic moments in the SRO layer in the vicinity of the interfaces. In addition, the biased/pinned moments can be oriented under the application of either the out-of-plane magnetic field or a combination of out-of-plane magnetic field and in-plane electric field. These results will bring new insights in the understanding of the coupling at the AFM/FM interface which can be useful for creating new exotic phenomena at the interfaces of the multilayer.

description: A conceptual consideration is given to a zero-energy state (ZES) at the surface of unconventional superconductors. The reflection coefficients in normal-metal / superconductor (NS) junctions are calculated based on a phenomenological description of the reflection processes of a quasiparticle. The phenomenological theory reveals the importance of the sign change in the pair potential for the formation of the ZES. The ZES is observed as the zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP) in the differential conductance of NS junctions. The split of the ZBCP due to broken time-reversal symmetry states is naturally understood in the present theory. We also discuss effects of external magnetic fields on the ZBCP.

description: Antitermination (AT) is a ubiquitous principle in the regulation of bacterial transcription to suppress termination signals. In phage λ antiterminator protein Q controls the expression of the phage’s late genes with loading of λQ onto the transcription elongation complex halted at a σ-dependent pause requiring a specific DNA element. The molecular basis of λQ-dependent AT and its dependence on N-utilization substance (Nus) A is so far only poorly understood. Here we used solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to show that the solution structure of λQ is in agreement with the crystal structure of an N-terminally truncated variant and that the 60 residues at the N-terminus are unstructured. We also provide evidence that multidomain protein NusA interacts directly with λQ via its N-terminal domain (NTD) and the acidic repeat (AR) 2 domain, with the λQ:NusA-AR2 interaction being able to release NusA autoinhibition. The binding sites for NusA-NTD and NusA-AR2 on λQ overlap and the interactions are mutually exclusive with similar affinities, suggesting distinct roles during λQ-dependent AT, e.g. the λQ:NusA-NTD interaction might position NusA-NTD in a way to suppress termination, making NusA-NTD repositioning a general scheme in AT mechanisms.
What makes a farmer? The limited expansion of commercial farming among Bulgarian smallholders
Creators: name: Meurs, Mieke
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Post-socialist restoration of property rights brought expectations that small commercial farming would expand, raising smallholder incomes. However, commercial farming remains limited among smallholders in many places. This paper uses interviews with Bulgarian smallholders to analyze the decision-making process related to land use. Land holders differ in their goals for farming and these differences are associated with land use. Some landholders adjust their goals toward more income-generating uses as they experience better-than-expected returns, while others are content with more modest returns. But few seem willing to give up farming altogether. If goals differ, many farmers adjust slowly from a starting point strongly influenced by local history, and few exit farming altogether, more complete development of property rights, markets and contracting systems alone will not result in wider adoption of commercial farming. While commercially, and even growth-oriented smallholders may emerge, significant smallholder land will remain in less productive uses for some time.
An investigation into the feasibility of rain gardens as a stormwater management solution

description: Stormwater pollution is becoming a greater problem in Vancouver with the increase of urbanization. In order to address the problem and to minimize the amount of pollutants discharging into sensitive waterways, UBC is planning to include two rain-gardens in the construction of the new SUB. To analyze the feasibility of rain gardens as a stormwater management solution, a triple bottom line assessment was conducted looking at economic, social, and environmental factors. Based on cost comparisons, case studies and performance reports of rain gardens implemented within the same climate region, academic studies on the social effect of vegetated gardens, and a small student survey, conclusions can be drawn regarding each of the three factors. An economic analysis determined a rain garden would cost less to initiate and to maintain than a regular garden. Socially, the presence of a rain garden could increase student awareness of UBC’s goal in sustainable urban development and raise awareness to an uncommonly known problem of storm-water pollution. Environmentally, a rain garden holds the same benefits as a regular garden in addition to filtering out up to 90% of the chemicals and up to 80% of dissolved solids out of stormwater runoff. Based on these main points, it was concluded that a rain garden is a cost effective method way to filter out stormwater pollutants, add aesthetics, and enhance the natural atmosphere of the university campus.

description: The CMS muon system at the LHC is built of different detector technologies. The measurement of the background hit rates in the different muon detectors during the LHC Run-2 is of prime importance for an assessment of the longevity of the chambers and their on-board electronics, and therefore for the expected performance of the system at HL-LHC. Moreover, an accurate modelling of the backgrounds using simulations is also critical, as an estimation of the expected radiation background for the Phase-2 upgrade can only rely on Montecarlo-based predictions in the regions where new detectors are being installed. The present understanding of the backgrounds measured with data collected during the LHC Run-2, as well as at CERN high-intensity gamma irradiation facility, GIF++, is discussed, together with the work made to improve the accuracy of the background modelling in Fluka and GEANT4 simulations.

description: Abstract: Around 1.4 million people died from Tubercuӏosіs (TB) in 2019 (including 208,000 HIV patients). TB is one of leading death causing infectious agent globally. Multidrug-resistant TB persists a global health issue and a health security threat. The InhA gene encodes thе Enoyӏ-Acyӏ-Carrіer-Proteіn (ACP) proteіn present іn Mycobacterіum tubercuӏosіs, the causative agent of TB. Enoyӏ-ACP іѕ аӏѕо knоwn аѕ enoyӏ-ACP reductase FAS-II аnd 2-trans-enoyӏ-ACP reductase. Since no reliable vaccine is available, chemotherapy is the primary method for batting the occurrence of this pathogen. Isoniazid (INH), an efficient and commonly used chemotherapy for both prevention and therapy of TB, is the current front-line treatment regimen. Although the exact target of action for M. Tuberculosis is tuberculosis. This study, along with an outline of the related literature, discusses recent developments made in the quest for InhA inhibitors up to now. A background of the biology of TB is given in the first section of this article which is followed by drugs resistance, InhA аnd іtѕ іnhіbіtors. The rise in the number of InhA inhibitors is beneficial for the production of new multidrug-resistant drugs for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The goal now is to strengthen the pharmacological activity of these inhibitors and convert them into drug development.

As such, the University allocated $10 million to redesign Main Mall. September 2011 marked the completion of the first stage of the redesign of Main Mall, from University Blvd (U Blvd) to Agronomy Road (Figure 1). This study, consisting of an intercept survey of users of Main Mall and randomized traffic counts on the space, evaluates the effects of the redesign on user experience and bicycle-pedestrian interaction. A discussion of the results and treatment of similar university spaces leads to concrete recommendations that will transform Main Mall into a safe and efficient transportation corridor for all users and a vibrant public space.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the discussion of preparedness and response to crisis to the top charts. But can we use what we observed after the break of this epidemic to increase our knowledge about worldwide risk modelling? This document discloses an approach in which open-source globally available data from several sources, some of which are frequently used to compute risk ranks and estimate countries’ preparedness for crisis, were combined with post-COVID-19 data to create preventive insights and suggest improvements to current risk modelling strategies. Excess mortality was used as an objective measure of the overall impact of the disease worldwide, in terms of loss of lives.

description: We numerically study the directed version of the fixed energy sandpile. On a closed square lattice, the dynamical evolution of a fixed density of sand grains is studied. The activity of the system shows a continuous phase transition around a critical density. While the deterministic version has the set of nontrivial exponents, the stochastic model is characterized by mean field like exponents.

description: We revisit well-established concepts of epidemiology, the Ising-model, and percolation theory. Also, we employ a spin $S$ = 1/2 Ising-like model and a (logistic) Fermi-Dirac-like function to describe the spread of Covid-19. Our analysis reinforces well-established literature results, namely: \emph{i}) that the epidemic curves can be described by a Gaussian-type function; \emph{ii}) that the temporal evolution of the accumulative number of infections and fatalities follow a logistic function, which has some resemblance with a distorted Fermi-Dirac-like function; \emph{iii}) the key role played by the quarantine to block the spread of Covid-19 in terms of an \emph{interacting} parameter, which emulates the contact between infected and non-infected people. Furthermore, in the frame of elementary percolation theory, we show that: \emph{i}) the percolation probability can be associated with the probability of a person being infected with Covid-19; \emph{ii}) the concepts of blocked and non-blocked connections can be associated, respectively, with a person respecting or not the social distancing, impacting thus in the probability of an infected person to infect other people. Increasing the number of infected people leads to an increase in the number of net connections, giving rise thus to a higher probability of new infections (percolation). We demonstrate the importance of social distancing in preventing the spread of Covid-19 in a pedagogical way. Given the impossibility of making a precise forecast of the disease spread, we highlight the importance of taking into account additional factors, such as climate changes and urbanization, in the mathematical description of epidemics. Yet, we make a connection between the standard mathematical models employed in epidemics and well-established concepts in condensed matter Physics, such as the Fermi gas and the Landau Fermi-liquid picture.

title: Dissipation of Magnetohydrodynamic Waves in the Upper Solar Atmosphere
Creators: name: Laing, Gordon Bremner
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1996

description: The upper solar atmosphere, the corona, is an example of a hot (106K), tenuous, structured plasma. This thesis concentrates on two main aspects regarding our understanding of the corona, namely the existence of oscillatory phenomena and their possible connection with explaining the high observed coronal temperatures. The oscillatory phenomena are interpreted in terms of magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) waves and the thesis investigates how the energy of such waves might be converted into heat by the dissipation mechanisms of ion viscosity, electron thermal conduction and radiation in an optically thin atmosphere. An overview of coronal features and the observational evidence for waves are given and coronal heating theories together with dissipative mechanisms are discussed. Detailed calculations of the energy carried by waves in structured media are given showing that the waves can carry sufficient energy to meet the coronal heating requirements provided that the waves are associated with large root-mean-square-velocity amplitudes. The lengths over which ducted waves lose their energy in a weakly dissipative environment for both warm and cold plasmas are calculated. The results show that fast waves with periods 2 - 10 s are likely to dissipate in regions of low magnetic field strength (<15 G), and slow waves that are likely to dissipate have periods in the range 15 - 225 s. Dissipation lengths and rates for waves propagating in slender structures are calculated by two methods. One method considers an isothermal environment; the other considers large Péclet number, and it is found that slow, symmetric waves are likely to dissipate with periods in the range 2 - 80 s and 2 - 38 s, respectively. The final chapter compares the models with each other and with the models in the literature. Period ranges of dissipating and non-dissipating waves are compared with observed waves and it is proposed that waves of 2 - 10 s might contribute to coronal heating, whilst those waves that might survive dissipation have periods of a few and many tens of seconds.

Turbulent mixing of r-process elements in the Milky Way

description: We study turbulent gas diffusion affects on $r$-process abundances in Milky Way stars, by a combination of an analytical approach and a Monte Carlo simulation. Higher $r$-process event rates and faster diffusion, lead to more efficient mixing corresponding to a reduced scatter of $r$-process abundances and causing $r$-process enriched stars to start appearing at lower metallicities. We use three independent observations to constrain the model parameters: (i) the scatter of radioactively stable $r$-process element abundances, (ii) the largest $r$-process enrichment values observed in any solar neighborhood stars and (iii) the isotope abundance ratios of different radioactive $r$-process elements ($^{244}$Pu/$^{238}$U and $^{247}$Cm/$^{238}$U) at the early solar system as compared to their formation. Our results indicate that the Galactic $r$-process rate and the diffusion coefficient are respectively $r<4\times 10^{-5}\mbox{ yr}^{-1}, D>0.1 \mbox{ kpc}^2\mbox{Gyr}^{-1}$ ($r<4\times 10^{-6}\mbox{ yr}^{-1}, D>0.5 \mbox{ kpc}^2\mbox{Gyr}^{-1}$ for collapsars or similarly prolific $r$-process sources) with allowed values satisfying an approximate anti-correlation such that $D\approx r^{-2/3}$, implying that the time between two $r$-process events that enrich the same location in the Galaxy, is $τ_{\rm mix}\approx 100-200\mbox{ Myr}$. This suggests that a fraction of $\sim 0.8$ ($\sim 0.5$) of the observed $^{247}$Cm ($^{244}$Pu) abundance is dominated by one $r$-process event in the early solar system. Radioactively stable element abundances are dominated by contributions from $\sim 10$ different events in the early solar system. For metal poor stars (with [Fe/H]$\lesssim -2$), their $r$-process abundances are dominated by either a single or several events, depending on the star formation history.

Measurement of the Inclusive Electron Spectrum in Charmless Semileptonic B Decays Near the Kinematic Endpoint and Determination of |Vub|
Creators: name: BABAR Collaboration

description: We present a measurement of the inclusive electron spectrum in charmless semileptonic B decays near the kinematic limit for B->X_c eνtransitions, using a sample of 88 million Upsilon(4S) decays recorded by the BABAR detector. Partial branching fraction measurements are performed in five overlapping intervals of the electron momentum. For the interval of 2.0-2.6 GeV/c we obtain ΔBr(B->X_u eν) = (0.572+-0.041(stat)+-0.065(syst))x10^{-3}. Combining this result with shape function parameters extracted from BABAR measurements of moments of the inclusive photon spectrum in B->X_s+gamma decays and moments of the hadron mass and lepton energy spectra in B->X_c lνdecays we determine |V_{ub}|=((4.44+-0.25(exp) ^{+0.42}_{-0.38}(SF)+-0.22(theory))x10^{-3}. Here the first error represents the combined statistical and systematic experimental uncertainties of the partial branching fraction measurement, the second error refers to the uncertainty of the determination of the shape function parameters, and the third error is due to theoretical uncertainties in the QCD calculations.

description: The H-Watch is a fully open-sourde wearable long-lasting smart monitoring platform for health monitoring and tracking. Thanks to the integrated state-of-the-art NB-IoT cellular technology, it provides direct and secure cloud connectivity. It is based on widely available off-the-shelf components; however, it is designed with low-power and on-board intelligence in mind. Experimentalresults demonstrated only 5.9 mW of average power consumption, leading to a lifetime of 9 days on a small watch battery wothout, and up to 20 days with the solarenergy harvester.
