description: Spins and oscillators are foundational to much of physics and applied sciences. For quantum information, a spin 1/2 exemplifies the most basic unit, a qubit. High angular momentum spins (HAMSs) and harmonic oscillators provide multi-level manifolds (e.g., qudits) which have the potential for hardware-efficient protected encodings of quantum information and simulation of many-body quantum systems. In this work, we demonstrate a new quantum control protocol that conceptually merges these disparate hardware platforms. Namely, we show how to modify a harmonic oscillator on-demand to implement a continuous range of generators associated to resonant driving of a harmonic qudit, which we can interpret as accomplishing linear and nonlinear control over a harmonic HAMS degree of freedom. The spin-like dynamics are verified by demonstration of linear spin coherent (SU(2)) rotations, nonlinear spin control, and comparison to other manifolds like simply-truncated oscillators. Our scheme allows the first universal control of such a harmonic qudit encoding: we use linear operations to accomplish four logical gates, and further show that nonlinear harmonicity-preserving operations complete the logical gate set. Our results show how motion on a closed Hilbert space can be useful for quantum information processing and opens the door to superconducting circuit simulations of higher angular momentum quantum magnetism.

description: In the preceding paper(Prog.Theor.Phys.108(2002)929 or hep-ph/0207255), we have shown that the critical line of the first order chiral transition of QCD can have two endpoints. In this addendum, we elucidate the mechanism to realize the two-endpoint structure in the QCD phase diagram and argue the robustness for the appearance of such an interesting phase structure.
Administrative breakdown: Causal attributions in governmental investigative commission reports
Creators: name: Koht, Harald Sverdrup
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation compares governmental investigative commission reports about disasters across two national cultures to assess explanations for changes in the evaluation of administrative failures. A review of selected commission reports from Norway and the United States suggests that a pattern of blaming individuals for disasters has over time been replaced by a tendency toward faulting organizational systems. A central question is whether this trend is related to changes in the character of the investigated events or to changes in the conceptual framework used by commission members. The research examines three alternative explanations for the adoption of the system view: (1) changes in the professional composition of commissions, (2) the emergence of modern public administration theory, and (3) the dominant political culture at the time. Propositions drawn from general systems theory, cultural theory, and attribution theory are applied to the commission reports. Data for the dissertation consists of sixty-four commission reports produced by the governments of Norway and the United States. Characteristics of the commissions, their members, and findings the categorized and examined using univariate and bivariate analysis. The analysis of American reports shows that attributing administrative failure to system errors became prominent at the beginning of the twentieth century concurrent with the influence of the Progressive movement in politics as well as the emergence of public administration as a subdiscipline of political science. The maintenance of the system view in commission reports of the modern era is shown to be related to the professional composition of the commissions. The analysis shows that in Norway the trend toward system blame manifested itself much later in this century with a reduction of the influence of lawyers and the inclusion of other professions as investigative commission members from the 1960s and onward. The work of investigative commissions reflects the ambiguities in the administration of complex societies. The current emphasis on system blame weakens elementary principles of personal and political accountability. Instead modern investigative commissions primarily serve as policy evaluators and initiators of system change.
An analogue study of emotional conflict and panic onset
Creators: name: Berg, Carol Zaremba
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: An analogue study was conducted to test the hypothesis that the combination of heightened emotionality from interpersonal conflict and the fear of loss of control when experiencing strong emotion may precipitate panic in individuals who have never had a panic attack. One hundred sixteen subjects who had no history of panic participated in two procedures designed to induce emotionality and body sensations. Subjects completed ratings to assess (a) affective control, state and trait anxiety, and emotions (positive, negative) at baseline, (b) state anxiety and emotions following the mood and body sensation inductions, and (c) fear of body sensations following the body sensations induction. Hierarchical regression was used to test the hypothesis. The results showed that subjects who fear strong emotion become more anxious and fearful of body sensations than subjects who do not fear strong emotion. Further, fear of strong emotion predicted greater fear of body sensations over and above the contribution of state and trait anxiety. The prediction that the combination of heightened emotionality from interpersonal conflict and fear of strong emotion would lead to heightened anxiety and greater fear of somatic symptoms after bodily sensations induction was not upheld. Fear of strong emotion continued to predict greater fear of body sensations over and above the contribution of state and trait anxiety when subjects recalled joyful or routine interpersonal situations and underwent body sensations induction. However, the prediction that the combination of heightened emotionality from a joyful situation and fear of strong emotion would lead to heightened anxiety and greater fear of body sensations was not confirmed.

description: The oxidation of adamantan-2-ol, 2-methyladamantan-2-ol, adamantan-2-methanol and 2-butyladamantan-2-ol was studied using silver salts and bromine. Oxidation of 2-methyladamantan-2-ol was also studied using iodine and silver acetate. The products of the reaction have been reported. The reaction conditions were optimized and a free radical scavenger, thiophenol, was used to investigate the presence of any free radicals in the reaction solution. The results suggest the formation of adamantan-2-one from the reaction of adamantan-2-ol with silver carbonate and bromine. Adamantan-2-one and 2-oxa-adamantane were produced when silver acetate and bromine were used. No free radicals were detected in the reaction of the alcohol with silver carbonate and bromine. Free radicals were detected in the reaction of the alcohol with silver acetate and bromine. The reaction of 2-methyladamantan-2-ol with silver salts and bromine produced only minor quantities of methyl-tricyclo (3,3,1,0$\sp{3,7}$) non-3-yl ketone which was derivatized by 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to yield ethanone, 1-(hexahydro-2,5-methanopentalen-3a(1H)-yl)-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) hydrazone. The reaction of the alcohol with iodine and silver acetate produced 3-di-iodomethylene-2-oxatricyclo (4,3,1,1$\sp{4,8}$) undecane. No free radicals were detected in this reaction. Reaction of 2-butyladamantan-2-ol with silver salts and bromine yielded the following compounds: cis and trans isomers of 2-oxa-3-(1-bromo butylidene) tricyclo (4,3,1,1$\sp{4,8}$) undecane, spiro (furan-2(3H),2$\sp\prime$-tricyclo (3,3,1,1$\sp{3,7}$) decane), dihydro-5-methyl, 2-butylidene tricyclo (3,3,1,1$\sp{3,7}$) decane and butyl tricyclo (3,3,1,0$\sp{3,7}$) non-3-yl ketone. No free radicals were detected in the reaction. The reaction of adamantan-1-methanol with silver acetate and bromine in carbon tetrachloride produced 1-acetoxyadamantane and undesired side products 1-chloroadamantane and 1-bromo-3-chloroadamantane. No free radicals were detected in the reaction. The reaction of adamantan-1-methanol with silver carbonate and bromine was conducted in hexane and the mass spectral analysis of the compound obtained in the reaction suggests that adamantan-1-methyl formate may have formed. Free radicals were detected in the reaction.

description: The spectral theory of semigroup generators is a crucial tool for analysing the asymptotic properties of operator semigroups. Typically, Tauberian theorems, such as the ABLV theorem, demand extensive information about the spectrum to derive convergence results. However, the scenario is significantly simplified for positive semigroups on Banach lattices. This observation extends to the broader class of eventually positive semigroups -- a phenomenon observed in various concrete differential equations. In this paper, we investigate the spectral and asymptotic properties of eventually positive semigroups, focusing particularly on the persistently irreducible case. Our findings expand upon the existing theory of eventual positivity, offering new insights into the cyclicity of the peripheral spectrum and asymptotic trends. Notably, several arguments for positive operators and semigroups do not apply in our context, necessitating the use of ultrapower arguments to circumvent these challenges.

description: Recreational activities pertaining to farmlands are receiving increased attention from both research and practice. One of the major reasons for this heightened importance attributed to farmland tourism is due partly to its potential to advance the local economy and to the benefits it brings for farmers and visitors. Thus, analyzing the role of agritourism in advancing socio-economic prosperity is of pivotal importance. With this background, the paper discusses the economic benefits of agritourism. The results reported in the paper are related to organizations located in Poland and Italy. Agritourism can bring several economic benefits in the countries and regions. What is interesting, the average income from agritourism is about one-third of the overall household income of farmers. Moreover, food service is a crucial factor in the success of agritourism as it brings extra money to farmers. It shows the importance of the relationship between the income obtained from agritourism activities and the benefits local communities gain by engaging in multiple tourism promotion activities.

description: The alpha-radiometric determination of uranium after its pre-concentration from natural water samples using the cation-exchange resin Chelex-100, its selective extraction by tributylphosphate and electrodeposition on stainless steel discs is reported. The validity of the separation procedure and the chemical recoveries were checked by addition of uranium standard solution as well as by tracing with U-232. The average uranium yield was determined to be (97 +- 2) % for the cation-exchange, (95 +- 2) % for the liquid-liquid extraction, and more than 99% for the electrodeposition. Employing high-resolution alpha-spectroscopy, the measured activity of the U-238 and U-234 radioisotopes was found to be of similar magnitude; i.e. ~7 mBq/L and ~35 mBq/L for ground- and seawater samples, respectively. The energy resolution (FWHM) of the alpha-peaks was 22 keV, while the Minimum Detectable Activity (MDA) was estimated to be 1 mBq/L (at the 95% confidence limit).

description: The aim of this article is to assess the scale of global financial imbalance in countries with different levels of economic development, and to identify the main determinants of this phenomenon. In the paper, a research method based on literature studies in the field of international finance and international economics is used. In particular, rich foreign-language literature and Polish-language publications related to the analyzed subject were used. All statistical data used in the work comes from the International Monetary Fund's statistical database. Based on the literature, it has been found that the most important determinants of this phenomenon are surplus of global savings, mercantilism in East Asia and disturbances in international financial markets. The results of these studies have great importance, in particular from a macroeconomic point of view, as rising surpluses or current account deficits cause chronic surpluses or deficits in national budgets through the so-called twin deficits effect. In addition, current account imbalances affect the international competitive position of economies, prices of goods, services, currencies and production factors. / Synopsis. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest określenie skali zjawiska globalnej nierównowagi finansowej w krajach o różnym poziomie rozwoju gospodarczego oraz wskazanie głównych czynników determinujących to zjawisko. W pracy wykorzystano metodę badawczą opartą na studiach literaturowych z zakresu finansów międzynarodowych i międzynarodowych stosunków gospodarczych. W szczególności wykorzystano bogatą literaturę obcojęzyczną oraz publikacje polskojęzyczne dotyczące analizowanej tematyki. Wszelkie dane statystyczne wykorzystane w pracy pochodzą z bazy statystycznej Międzynarodowego Funduszu Walutowego (International Monetary Fund). Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań literaturowych, stwierdzono, że do najważniejszych determinant tego zjawiska można zaliczyć nadwyżkę globalnych oszczędności, prowadzoną politykę merkantylistyczną w krajach Azji Wschodniej oraz zaburzenia na międzynarodowych rynkach finansowych. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań mają ogromne znaczenie w szczególności z makroekonomicznego punktu widzenia, gdyż rosnące nadwyżki lub deficyty na rachunkach obrotów bieżących wywołują chroniczne nadwyżki lub deficyty w budżetach krajowych poprzez tzw. efekt deficytów bliźniaczych. Dodatkowo nierównowagi na rachunkach obrotów bieżących wpływają na międzynarodową pozycję konkurencyjną gospodarek, ceny towarów, usług, walut i czynników produkcji.

description: The subject of the paper is an analysis of the economic results of the main factors affecting GDP growth in the European Union in 2000-2016. The aim is to evaluate the global position of the EU as well as to identify the main factors affecting growth of the EU’s economic potential and effectiveness. The analysis also includes the long-term development gap in the EU-15/EU-28 versus the U.S.A. Quantitative and qualitative criteria were used in the assessment. Quantitative criteria include: growth rates of GDP, investments and exports, the EU’s share in global GDP, and global exports of goods and services. The qualitative criteria are: labour productivity and total factor productivity TFP. The results of the study are as follows: 1) evaluation of the EU position in the global economy (quantitative indicators) show a decline in the EU's share in global GDP, and trade and FDI were not greater than in the U.S.A.; 2) pertaining to the qualitative criteria the United States ranks better; 3) factors contributing the most to the weakening of the global economic position of the EU are: lower investment in the ICT sector compared to the U.S., differentiation of EU members in terms of their ability to grow, socio-economic divergence and a crisis in the eurozone.

description: This note shows that in a general equilibrium model of homogeneous population with production risk, the futures price of a commodity which is in fixed supply is always below the expected futures spot price (e.g. normal backwardation). It also shows that the difference between the futures price and the expected spot price increases as the representative individual's risk aversion rises. An important application of this model is to the housing market since houses are in fixed supply in the short run and buying a house is like holding along position in a forward contract. Therefore, if population is homogeneous houses are not a good consumption hedge and housing prices are below expected rental prices.

description: We study the mixed anomaly between the discrete chiral symmetry and general baryon-color-flavor (BCF) backgrounds in $SU(N_c)$ gauge theories with $N_f$ flavors of Dirac fermions in representations ${\cal R}_c$ of $N$-ality $n_c$, formulated on non-spin manifolds. We show how to study these theories on $\mathbb{CP}^2$ by turning on general BCF fluxes consistent with the fermion transition functions. We consider several examples in detail and argue that matching the anomaly on non-spin manifolds places stronger constraints on the infrared physics, compared to the ones on spin manifolds (e.g.~$\mathbb{T}^4$). We also show how to consistently formulate various chiral gauge theories on non-spin manifolds.

The multicultural workforce: A study of cross-cultural communication factors in the employment interview process
Creators: name: Van Der Vorm, Patricia T.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In this study the employment interview was used as a representative microcosm of cross-cultural communication in today's multicultural workforce. American employers conducted videotaped mock interviews with American candidates (intracultural interviews) and with international candidates (intercultural interviews) for a typical entry level position. Communication interaction during the interview process was examined from the three perspectives of interviewers, candidates and outside observers. The process was rated by each of these groups using seven distinct variables derived from research literature regarding cross-cultural communication. The interview participants (interviewers and candidates), rated three variables: (a) the level of understanding (Comprehension), (b) the amount and quality of information relayed (Information Sharing), and (c) the level of ease and confidence experienced during the interview (Comfort). Outside observers rated four variables derived from an instrument designed by Ruben (1976), the Behavioral Assessment Scale for Intercultural Communication Competence. Observers rated the variables based on their observation of interviewers during the interview process, as viewed in the interview videotapes. They rated: (a) the amount of positive regard demonstrated toward the candidate (Respect), (b) the non-judgmental responsiveness in gathering information (Interaction Posture), (c) the level of interest and understanding displayed (Empathy), and (d) the accuracy in assessing communication needs, (Interaction Management). A comparison of participant ratings between intercultural and intracultural interviews revealed no significant difference in International and American candidate ratings and no difference in outside observer ratings between the two groups. However, there was a significant difference in employer ratings for the two groups for the variable Comprehension. Employer ratings indicated their lack of confidence in the level of understanding in interviews with international candidates. A comparison of the variables rated by participants with those rated by outside observers revealed moderate correlations between Comprehension and Respect, Interaction Posture and Empathy and significant correlations between Comfort and these same variables. Thus, this study provides evidence of three cross-cultural communication behaviors that specifically influence the interview process. Discussion and modification of these behaviors, through information materials and training, can assist employers in improving cross-cultural interaction in the employment interview.
Recommendations for Teaching Carpentries Workshops Online

description: These recommendations rely on video conferencing, and we recognise that this may fail. We are not making specific recommendations for technologies or procedures to be used for backup planning at this time. This is something each instructional team should plan for independently. The Carpentries will be exploring avenues for asynchronous engagement for areas with regular disruptions in internet service.

Teaching online is a challenge. We know this and we want to help you continue to build your skills and confidence as you transition what you learned in Instructor Training to teaching online. To that end, we created a 3.5 hour Instructor Training bonus module completely focused on teaching online. Our recommendations are focused on the leanest possible technology using systems we are already familiar with. While many other options exist and will likely make their way into our guidelines (e.g. additional tools, semi-synchronous approaches), we currently recommend procedures that are as close as possible to our standard practices for live instruction.

Learning online is also a challenge. The most common barriers for learners are likely to be unreliable internet connections and the limitation of a small single screen. Instructors and learners should anticipate these problems.

Software installation is a challenge even at in-person workshops, and issue resolution during an event is even more problematic online. We strongly recommend pre-workshop support with software installation and The Carpentries now provides cloud instances with pre-installed software as a last-resort backup for all core workshops.

description: The charge asymmetry of the g, h, and k Dalitz plot parameters for $K^{\pm}\toπ^{\pm}π^0π^0$ decays has been measured with 35 GeV/c hadron beams at the 70 GeV IHEP accelerator. The g, h and k values obtained appear to be identical for $K^{\pm}\toπ^{\pm}π^0π^0$ decays within the errors quoted. In particular, the charge asymmetry $A_g = (g^+ - g^-)/(g^+ + g^-)$ of the slope g is equal to $(0.2 \pm 1.9)\cdot 10^{-3}$.

description: It is known that scintillation efficiency of organic single crystals depends on the direction of nuclear recoils relative to crystallographic axes. This property could be applied to the directional WIMP dark matter detector. The scintillation efficiency of carbon recoils in a stilbene crystal was measured for recoil energies of 30 keV to 1 MeV using neutrons from $^7$Li(p,n)$^7$Be and $^{252}$Cf. Anisotropic response was confirmed in low energy regions. The variation of the scintillation efficiency was about 7 %, that could detect the possible dark matter signal.

description: We study transport properties of a two-dimensional electron system with Rashba spin-orbit coupling in a perpendicular magnetic field. The spin orbit coupling competes with Zeeman splitting to introduce additional degeneracies between different Landau levels at certain magnetic fields. This degeneracy, if occuring at the Fermi level, gives rise to a resonant spin Hall conductance, whose height is divergent as 1/T and whose weight is divergent as $-\ln T$ at low temperatures. The Hall conductance is unaffected by the Rashba coupling.

description: As the only power source for human beings, chemical power system provides the necessary power system for human space exploration in the solar system. NASA's unmanned spacecraft has reached almost all the planets in the solar system, and human space exploration has reached an unprecedented level. However, the significant bottleneck of chemical power source, the carrying capacity of fuel, also greatly limits the further space exploration activities of human beings. In order to carry out further exploration activities, the development of a new spacecraft thrust system has become a new topic. The system to be described here, that is, the power system generated by electromagnetic waves, is an attempt to the new thrust system. This system I named "phase synchronous electromagnetic wave power system".
Bred for the world? Agricultural research priorities in the age of biotechnology
Creators: name: Anderson, Jeffrey Lee
Publisher: name: American University

description: Over the last half century, scientists have strived to eradicate hunger. In the 1980s, the emergence of biotechnology provided agricultural researchers with an exciting new weapon in the war against hunger. Coincidentally, the top-down model of diffusion of agricultural innovations came under attack during this same period. The most interesting alternative, Farming Systems Research (FSR), stressed the need for a first-hand multidisciplinary understanding of the farm as an entire system and encouraged close interaction between the agricultural researcher and the farmer. This dissertation examines how biotechnology has altered the conduct of agricultural research in U.S. universities and explores, in particular, how biotechnology has affected the psycho-social distance between researcher and farmer. With over half of all doctorates in the agricultural sciences from U.S. universities awarded to foreign students in 1992, the implications for developing countries are profound. To understand how biotechnology has changed the way research choices are made in the agricultural sciences, the scientists themselves were queried. Thirty-four in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with agricultural researchers. In addition, a mail survey of 312 agricultural researchers (76% response) involved in agricultural biotechnology at U.S. universities was conducted. A number of survey questions from Busch and Lacy's landmark 1979 study of agricultural researchers were repeated. The results strongly suggest that significant shifts have occurred in the ranking of the criteria for research problem choice since the Busch and Lacy study. Science-centered criteria registered significant gains. In contrast, the importance of client-centered criteria dropped precipitously. Increasingly, agricultural scientists are coming from urban, non-farm backgrounds and have received their training in basic science disciplines. Each of these factors erodes the longstanding mission-oriented nature of the land grant universities. The changes that the agricultural research establishment has gone through are not all due to the rise of biotechnology. Universities recognized that a focus on basic science would be necessary to: attract high caliber scientists, capture significant new sources of competitive grants, and appeal to industry. Biotechnology was instrumental in reinforcing many of these underlying trends. These changes have serious implications for developing country scientists. Serious concern must be given to the appropriateness of training developing country scientists in a basic science environment devoid of contact with farmers or extension. Despite biotechnology's promise, the overall impact on developing countries' agricultural development may be negative if it contributes to the creation of disciplinary-based scientists attuned to the global science community rather than farmers' needs.
