Families of bitangent planes of space curves and minimal non-fibration families
Creators: name: Lubbes, Niels
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We define a cone curve to be a reduced sextic space curve which lies on a quadric cone and does not go through the vertex. We classify families of bitangent planes of cone curves. The methods we apply can be used for any space curve with ADE singularities, though in this paper we concentrate on cone curves. An embedded complex projective surface which is adjoint to a degree one weak Del Pezzo surface contains families of minimal degree rational curves, which cannot be defined by the fibers of a map. Such families are called minimal non-fibration families. Families of bitangent planes of cone curves correspond to minimal non-fibration families. The main motivation of this paper is to classify minimal non-fibration families. We present algorithms wich compute all bitangent families of a given cone curve and their geometric genera. We consider cone curves to be equivalent if they have the same singularity configuration. For each equivalence class of cone curves we determine the possible number of bitangent families and the number of rational bitangent families. Finally we compute an example of a minimal non-fibration family on an embedded weak degree one Del Pezzo surface.
title: Fiscal Year 2003 FHWA-536 Report for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet
Creators: name: Kreis, Steven Douglas

description: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires state transportation agencies to submit a biennial report on local highway finances. The purpose of these reports is to provide FHWA with the data it needs to capture the financing of highway activities at the local level. Based on this information, it can identify trends in revenue, expenditures, investments, and program development, and in turn make decisions about future investments. The report, FHWA-536, asks agencies to report on four areas of local highway finance: 1) disposition of highway-user revenues; 2) revenues used for roads and streets identified by source and funding type; 3) road and street expenditures identified by purpose of activity; and 4) local highway debt status. This document summarizes data submitted to fulfill the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s FHWA-536 obligations in FY 2003. Total receipts were $291,585,855, an increase of $21,845,066 compared to FY 2001. Total disbursements equaled $296,356,837, an increase of $18,025,753 over FY 2001.

description: The simplest gauge invariant models of inflationary magnetogenesis are known to suffer from the problems of either large backreaction or strong coupling, which make it difficult to self-consistently achieve cosmic magnetic fields from inflation with a field strength larger than $10^{-32} G$ today on the $\Mpc$ scale. Such a strength is insufficient to act as seed for the galactic dynamo effect, which requires a magnetic field larger than $10^{-20} G$. In this paper we analyze simple extensions of the minimal model, which avoid both the strong coupling and back reaction problems, in order to generate sufficiently large magnetic fields on the Mpc scale today. First we study the possibility that the coupling function which breaks the conformal invariance of electromagnetism is non-monotonic with sharp features. Subsequently, we consider the effect of lowering the energy scale of inflation jointly with a scenario of prolonged reheating where the universe is dominated by a stiff fluid for a short period after inflation. In the latter case, a systematic study shows upper bounds for the magnetic field strength today on the Mpc scale of $10^{-13} G$ for low scale inflation and $10^{-25} G$ for high scale inflation, thus improving on the previous result by 7-19 orders of magnitude. These results are consistent with the strong coupling and back reaction constraints.

description: A complete system of primitive pairwise orthogonal idempotents for cyclotomic Hecke algebras is constructed by consecutive evaluations of a rational function in several variables on quantum contents of multi-tableaux. This function is a product of two terms, one of which depends only on the shape of the multi-tableau and is proportional to the inverse of the corresponding Schur element.

description: This work explores the relationship between optimal control theory and adiabatic passage techniques in quantum systems. The study is based on a geometric analysis of the Hamiltonian dynamics constructed from the Pontryagin Maximum Principle. In a three-level quantum system, we show that the Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage technique can be associated to a peculiar Hamiltonian singularity. One deduces that the adiabatic pulse is solution of the optimal control problem only for a specific cost functional. This analysis is extended to the case of a four-level quantum system.

description: Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was identified in 2012 as the causative agent of a severe, lethal respiratory disease occurring across several countries in the Middle East. To date there have been over 1,600 laboratory confirmed cases of MERS-CoV in 26 countries with a case fatality rate of 36%. Given the endemic region, it is possible that MERS-CoV could spread during the annual Hajj pilgrimage, necessitating countermeasure development. In this report, we describe the clinical and radiographic changes of rhesus monkeys following infection with 5×106 PFU MERS-CoV Jordan-n3/2012. Two groups of NHPs were treated with either a human anti-MERS monoclonal antibody 3B11-N or E410-N, an anti-HIV antibody. MERS-CoV Jordan-n3/2012 infection resulted in quantifiable changes by computed tomography, but limited other clinical signs of disease. 3B11-N treated subjects developed significantly reduced lung pathology when compared to infected, untreated subjects, indicating that this antibody may be a suitable MERS-CoV treatment.

The Correlation Between Hypercriminalization in American Secondary Schools and Academic Retention Rates of Hispanic Students
Creators: name: Rodriguez, Vicente E.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Criminalization, Hispanic, Latino, Latinx, Retention, Academic

description: Contextualizing the history of physical and structural violence perpetrated against Hispanic individuals, this project examines how factors of criminalization imposed upon Latino males in secondary schools have a consequent effect on their representation in higher education. Using secondary research data, the findings indicate that school retention rates are drastically affected by the presence of punitive measures, increased surveillance, and systemic prejudicial perceptions imposed by school personnel. Through the observations of researchers and conceptual frameworks, it is found that schools that have a large student body of Hispanic students concurrently have more officers employed and that these students disproportionately receive punitive measures relative to their peers. In this realm, a cohesive mapping of the future of multicultural education is revealed in which educators and policymakers can retaliate against structural violence so that minority students are able to have equitable access to education. I hope that in my future career as an educator, I can provide a glimmer of hope for these students who have consistently been told otherwise. As a proud Latino who is the son of a victim of the system, this project is the essence of my pursuit of higher education as an outlier in a biased track system.

description: We present an analytical model of the relation between the surface density of gas and star formation rate in galaxies and clouds, as a function of the presence of supersonic turbulence and the associated structure of the interstellar medium. The model predicts a power-law relation of index 3/2, flattened under the effects of stellar feedback at high densities or in very turbulent media, and a break at low surface densities when ISM turbulence becomes too weak to induce strong compression. This model explains the diversity of star formation laws and thresholds observed in nearby spirals and their resolved regions, the Small Magellanic Cloud, high-redshift disks and starbursting mergers, as well as Galactic molecular clouds. While other models have proposed interstellar dust content and molecule formation to be key ingredients to the observed variations of the star formation efficiency, we demonstrate instead that these variations can be explained by interstellar medium turbulence and structure in various types of galaxies.

description: In 2015, there were an estimated 10.4 million new cases of tuberculosis (TB) globally, making it one of the leading causes of death due to an infectious disease. TB is caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), with human disease resulting from infection by M. tuberculosis sensu stricto and M. africanum. Recent progress in genotyping techniques, in particular the increasing availability of whole genome sequence data, has revealed previously under appreciated levels of genetic diversity within the MTBC. Several studies have shown that this genetic diversity may translate into differences in TB transmission, clinical manifestations of disease, and host immune responses. This suggests the existence of MTBC genotype-dependent host-pathogen interactions which may influence the outcome of infection and progression of disease. In this review, we highlight the studies demonstrating differences in innate and adaptive immunological outcomes consequent on MTBC genetic diversity, and discuss how these differences in immune response might influence the development of TB vaccines, diagnostics and new therapies.

description: Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been used extensively as a model organism, however it is only recently that the first prion in this organism, a copper transporter protein encoded by ctr4, has been conclusively demonstrated. Prions are found in a wide range of organisms and have been implicated in a number of human neurodegenerative diseases. Research into the biology of prions has been carried out mainly in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, however there are many questions still to be addressed. Now, with the identification of the Ctr4 prion in S. pombe, further work in the two yeasts and comparisons of prion biology in these organisms should lead to a greater understanding of prions and their role in disease.

description: There is a significant burden of hypertension in the United States, which extends to the large and growing Hispanic/Latino population. Previous literature suggests that psychosocial factors are related to hypertension in Hispanics/Latinos. However, cultural factors unique to this population have been largely understudied in this context. The purpose of the current investigation was to examine the association of hypertension prevalence with social support and simpatía, a Hispanic/Latino cultural value emphasizing social harmony. Cross-sectional data from 5,313 adult Hispanics/Latinos, age 18 to 75 years, representing multiple heritage groups were collected as part of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos Sociocultural Ancillary Study. Contrary to predictions, higher social support was related to higher odds of hypertension prevalence across models (OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.22). In the final main effects logistic regression model, higher simpatía was related to lower odds of hypertension (OR = .83, 95% CI: .77, .90). Sex modified the link between simpatía and hypertension, with significant effects for men but not women. A 1 SD increase in simpatía was associated with 36% lower odds of hypertension in Hispanic/Latino men. The findings suggest that social support was inversely related with hypertension prevalence and that simpatía may be a protective cultural characteristic in relation to hypertension in the Hispanic/Latino population, but only in men. These results contribute to a growing discourse about the role of Hispanic/Latino cultural values in cardiovascular health.

description: Since 2010 the WHO has held a series of informal consultations to explore ways of improving the currently highly complex and time-pressured influenza vaccine virus selection and development process. In November 2015 experts from around the world met to review the current status of efforts in this field. Discussion topics included strengthening influenza surveillance activities to increase the availability of candidate vaccine viruses and improve the extent, timeliness and quality of surveillance data. Consideration was also given to the development and potential application of newer laboratory assays to better characterize candidate vaccine viruses, the potential importance of antibodies directed against influenza virus neuraminidase, and the role of vaccine effectiveness studies. Advances in next generation sequencing and whole genome sequencing of influenza viruses were also discussed, along with associated developments in synthetic genomics technologies, evolutionary analysis and predictive mathematical modelling. Discussions were also held on the late emergence of an antigenic variant influenza A(H3N2) virus in mid-2014 that could not be incorporated in time into the 2014-15 northern hemisphere vaccine. There was broad recognition that given the current highly constrained influenza vaccine development and production timeline it would remain impossible to incorporate any variant virus which emerged significantly long after the relevant WHO biannual influenza vaccine composition meetings. Discussions were also held on the development of pandemic and broadly protective vaccines, and on associated regulatory and manufacturing requirements and constraints. With increasing awareness of the health and economic burdens caused by seasonal influenza, the ever-present threat posed by zoonotic influenza viruses, and the significant impact of the 2014-15 northern hemisphere seasonal influenza vaccine mismatch, this consultation provided a very timely opportunity to share developments and exchange views. In all areas, a renewed and strengthened emphasis was placed on developing concrete and measurable actions and identifying the key stakeholders responsible for their implementation.
title: In the shadow of the population bomb: the campaign for abortion reform in Seattle, 1962-1970
Creators: name: Kattar, Alexandra J.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2012

description:
In November 1970, fifty-six percent of Washington State voters approved Referendum 20. With this act, a state legalized abortion by popular vote for the first and only time in the history of the United States. This study explains how and why Washington State reformed its abortion law. The successful political campaign, led by Washington Citizens for Abortion Reform (WCAR), based in Seattle, constituted an unusual alliance of conservatives and liberals, men and women, Protestants and Catholics, often forgotten from the history of reproductive politics and certainly from the public debate on the issue during the twenty-first century. In the shadow of the population bomb-a postwar metaphor which conflated fears of atomic annihilation and overpopulation-a heterogeneous alliance of supporters for reform was built by Seattleites to meet their needs of a changing urban landscape. Members of the WCAR were professionals in law, medicine, politics, theology, and social work as well as citizen lobbyists. This study posits that their motivation to support the reform was shaped by their identity as a Seattleite (place identity), profession identity, and middle-class values in democracy, education, economic mobility, and family. Their understanding of the dilemma of unwanted pregnancies and illegal abortions was influenced by stories women told them about their need for abortion. These stories played a central role in the mobilization of the reform movement. Furthermore, messages about overpopulation and "healthy" sexuality informed the WCAR's advertisement campaign to solicit voter-approval for Referendum 20. This work argues that the science of ecology created a new lexicon and schema with which to consider population issues at the same time as a growing women's movement posited a challenging critique of gender roles. Therefore, the abortion reform movement was aided by two powerful, concurrent social movements during this era-the environmental and women's movements-in order to remake laws to reflect the changing needs of women in a post-industrial economy.
A study on analytic parametrizations for proton-proton cross-sections and asymptotia

description: A comparative study on some representative parametrizations for the total and elastic cross-sections as a function of energy is presented. The dataset comprises pp and \bar{p}p scattering in the c.m energy interval 5 GeV-8 TeV. The parametrization for the total cross-section at low and intermediate energies follows the usual reggeonic structure (non-degenerate trajectories). For the leading high-energy pomeron contribution, we consider three distinct analytic parametrizations: either a power (P) law, or a log-squared (L2) law or a log-raised-to-gamma (Lgamma) law, where the exponent gamma is treated as a real free fit parameter. The parametrizations are also extended to fit the elastic (integrated) cross-section data in the same energy interval. Our main conclusions are the following: the data reductions with the logarithmic laws show strong dependence on the unknown energy scale involved, which is treated here either as a free parameter or fixed at the energy threshold; the fit results with the P law, the L2 law (free scale) and the Lgamma law (fixed scale and exponent gamma above 2) are all consistent within their uncertainties and with the experimental data up to 7 TeV, but they partially underestimate the high-precision TOTEM measurement at 8 TeV; once compared with these results, the L2 law with fixed scale is less consistent with the data and, in the case of a free scale, this pomeron contribution decreases as the energy increases below the scale factor (which lies above the energy cutoff); in all cases investigated, the predictions for the asymptotic ratio between the elastic and total cross-sections, within the uncertainties, do not exceed the value 0.430 (therefore, below the black-disc limit) and the results favor rational limits between 1/3 and 2/5. We are led to conclude that the rise of the hadronic cross-sections at the highest energies still constitutes an open problem.

description: Kylie Powers began her journey in the theatrical arts through Stagelight Family Productions. It only fits that her directorial debut should be one of their well-orchestrated productions, The Little Mermaid. As this production’s director and stage manager, Powers orchestrated two casts of approximately 250, each with 27 lead characters. As the director, she led character work, staged the show, and worked collaboratively with a team of creatives (choreographers, musical directors, and designers) to adhere to her cohesive vision. Simultaneously, as the stage manager, she worked to actualize the creatives’ ideas through production calendars, tracking documents, and, eventually, calling all technical aspects of the production during the show. Powers chose to dedicate her project to community theater, specifically youth theater; she believes that through theater, young people practice essential life skills: empathy, self-confidence, public speaking, team building, leadership, and so many more. She further developed her directorial toolbox, as she had the opportunity to work with five-year-olds to adults; children to theatrical professionals with decades of experience, and navigated it all effectively. She is grateful to have the chance to shape young minds in the same program that was so influential in shaping hers.

description: In particle simulations, the weights of particles determine how many physical particles they represent. Adaptively adjusting these weights can greatly improve the efficiency of the simulation, without creating severe nonphysical artifacts. We present a new method for the pairwise merging of particles. Pairwise merging reduces the number of particles by combining two particles into one. To find particles that are `close' to each other, we use a k-d tree data structure. With a k-d tree, close neighbors can be searched for efficiently, and independently of the mesh used in the simulation. The merging can be done in different ways, conserving for example momentum or energy. We introduce probabilistic schemes, which set properties for the merged particle using random numbers. The effect of various merge schemes on the energy distribution, the momentum distribution and the grid moments is compared.

title: First adventure to final flight: the theatre of Tristan Tzara
Creators: name: O'Neill, Erica Kate
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020

description: To date, little research has been carried out on the complete theatrical works of Tristan Tzara; this thesis aims to provide a comprehensive discussion of Tzara’s works for the stage. In addition to analysing each of Tzara’s plays, I will consider actions performed by Tzara and the Paris dadaists at their theatrical events, to demonstrate the variety of performed gestures practiced during the Paris Dada period (1920-1923). I will then determine how Tzara’s playwriting developed after Dada during the surrealist period, and towards the end of his theatrical career when he was not formally associated with any specific avant-garde movement. In particular, this thesis addresses three key research questions. What was distinctive about Tzara’s approach to theatre as his career developed? To what extent were Tzara’s dadaist and surrealist principles embodied in his subsequent period in Paris both during and after his relations with the surrealist group? What are the implications for subsequent theatre and performance practice in light of Tzara’s innovations? In addressing this final question, I will show how Tzara’s works for the stage anticipate certain tendencies that would become formalised by theatre practitioners such as Bertolt Brecht (alienation/distancing effect) and, more crucially, how Tzara’s theatre foreshadows the Theatre of the Absurd, which developed on Parisian stages in the decade after the performance of Tzara’s final play.

Particle-based delivery of the HIV envelope protein

Subjects: subject: 610 Medizin

description: Purpose of review: A major focus in HIV vaccine research is the development of suitable antigens that elicit broadly neutralizing antibody responses targeting HIV's envelope protein (Env). Delivery of Env in a repetitive manner on particle-based carriers allows higher-avidity interactions and is therefore expected to efficiently engage B cells thus leading to affinity maturation that results in superior antibody responses characterized by improved breadth, potency and durability. This review summarizes current work that is evaluating diverse types of such particulate carriers for Env-delivery. Recent findings: Various types of particle scaffolds are being investigated, encompassing Gag-derived virus-like particles, bacteria-derived proteins that self-assemble into symmetrical nanoparticles, as well as liposomes assembled from membrane components and recombinantly produced Env isoforms. Env-derived antigens from peptides over selected isolates to improved, stabilized next-generation designer Envs have been attached to such carriers. Immunological evaluation in animal models showed that these structures often elicit superior humoral immune responses. Summary: The findings reviewed here emphasize the potential of particle-based delivery modalities to elicit better antibody responses. Together with advances in Env antigen design, these approaches may synergistically act together on the way to obtain vaccine candidates that potentially induce protective immune responses against HIV.

description: We study genus $g$ hyperelliptic curves with reduced automorphism group $A_5$ and give equations $y^2=f(x)$ for such curves in both cases where $f(x)$ is a decomposable polynomial in $x^2$ or $x^5$. For any fixed genus the locus of such curves is a rational variety. We show that for every point in this locus the field of moduli is a field of definition. Moreover, there exists a rational model $y^2=F(x)$ or $y^2=x F(x)$ of the curve over its field of moduli where $F(x)$ can be chosen to be decomposable in $x^2$ or $x^5$. While similar equations have been given in Bujalance, Cirre, Gamboa and Gromadzki (2001) over $\mathbb R$, this is the first time that these equations are given over the field of moduli of the curve.

description: Innate and adaptive immunity work concertedly in vertebrates to restore homoeostasis following pathogen invasion or other insults. Like all homoeostatic circuits, immunity relies on an integrated system of sensors, transducers and effectors that can be analysed in cellular or molecular terms. At the cellular level, T and B lymphocytes act as an effector arm of immunity that is mobilised in response to signals transduced by innate immune cells that detect a given insult. These innate cells are spread around the body and include dendritic cells (DCs), the chief immune sensors of pathogen invasion and tumour growth. At the molecular level, DCs possess receptors that directly sense pathogen presence and tissue damage and that signal via transduction pathways to control antigen presentation or regulate a plethora of genes encoding effector proteins that regulate immunity. Notably, molecular circuits for pathogen detection are not confined to DCs or even to immune cells. All cells express sensors and transducers that monitor invasion by viruses and bacteria and elicit suitable effector barriers to pathogen propagation. Here, I discuss work from my laboratory that has contributed to our understanding of these issues over the years.
The Eldorado landfill: A case study

description: In 1995, Boulder City bought from the federal government 167 square miles of land in the Eldorado Valley which is located approximately seven miles west of the city. Soon afterward, the current landfill in Boulder City began accepting construction waste from Las Vegas. The large dump trucks had to travel through Boulder City on route to the landfill. In doing this they passed through three school zones and residential areas. When residents began complaining about the trucks, the Boulder City City Council began investigating various ways to solve the problem. The solution they adopted was to construct a new landfill on a 240-acre plot in the recently purchase Eldorado Valley. The city council voted unanimously to begin the process of permitting this proposed landfill. This report is broken down into three major sections. The first is a general discussion of what is involved in the landfill siting process and what the laws and regulations are for municipal landfills. The siting process includes data collection as well as determining what natural features exist at the proposed site. Federal law requires that the owner/operator of a class I municipal solid waste landfill follow certain requirements. These requirements are outlined and discussed in the Code of Federal Regulations title 40 part 258. The second section focuses on site specific environmental characteristics and concerns of the Eldorado Valley site, as well as what was done to comply with federal regulations concerning these matters. The environmental concerns include the groundwater, air and biological resources. Finally, there is a discussion of the problems and concerns of some of the Boulder City citizens and what types of public participation should occur to alleviate these problems for future projects.

description: We develop methods to solve general optimal stopping problems with opportunities to stop that arrive randomly. Such problems occur naturally in applications with market frictions. Pivotal to our approach is that our methods operate on random rather than deterministic time scales. This enables us to convert the original problem into an equivalent discrete-time optimal stopping problem with natural number valued stopping times and a possibly infinite horizon. To numerically solve this problem, we design a random times least squares Monte Carlo method. We also analyze an iterative policy improvement procedure in this setting. We illustrate the efficiency of our methods and the relevance of randomly arriving opportunities in a few examples.
The expansion of the universe observed with supernovae

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Over the last 20 years, supernovae have become a key tool to constrain the expansion history of the Universe through the construction of Hubble diagrams, using luminosity distances to supernovae belonging to the "Ia" subtype. This technique was key for the discovery that the expansion of the Universe is now accelerating. We review the principle and difficulties of the measurements, the classification and diversity of supernovae, and the physics of the explosion. We discuss the systematic uncertainties affecting the cosmological conclusions with some emphasis on photometric calibration. We describe the major supernova cosmology surveys, the presented analyses and their conclusions, together with the present status of the field. We conclude on the expectations for the near future.

Spatial And Spectral Quality Evaluation Based On Edges Regions Of Satellite Image Fusion

description: The Quality of image fusion is an essential determinant of the value of processing images fusion for many applications. Spatial and spectral qualities are the two important indexes that used to evaluate the quality of any fused image. However, the jury is still out of fused image's benefits if it compared with its original images. In addition, there is a lack of measures for assessing the objective quality of the spatial resolution for the fusion methods. Therefore, an objective quality of the spatial resolution assessment for fusion images is required. Most important details of the image are in edges regions, but most standards of image estimation do not depend upon specifying the edges in the image and measuring their edges. However, they depend upon the general estimation or estimating the uniform region, so this study deals with new method proposed to estimate the spatial resolution by Contrast Statistical Analysis (CSA) depending upon calculating the contrast of the edge, non edge regions and the rate for the edges regions. Specifying the edges in the image is made by using Soble operator with different threshold values. In addition, estimating the color distortion added by image fusion based on Histogram Analysis of the edge brightness values of all RGB-color bands and Lcomponent.

description: We prove the existence of a limit distribution for the normalized normality measure $\mathcal{N}(E_N)/\sqrt{N}$ (as $N \to \infty$) for random binary sequences $E_N$, by this means confirming a conjecture of Alon, Kohayakawa, Mauduit, Moreira and R{ö}dl. The key point of the proof is to approximate the distribution of the normality measure by the exiting probabilities of a multidimensional Wiener process from a certain polytope.

description: Our group conducted a program evaluation of HELP Las Vegas Genesis Apartments (HELP Genesis). We began the evaluation on November of 2008 and concluded May 2009. HELP Genesis is a permanent supportive housing facility for veterans and homeless with disabilities. It was a concern that they may be a transitional housing facility because of their turnover rate. We concluded that this was not the case.
We have identified the following limitations in our analysis. There was a lack of accessibility to the budget and accounting documents, limited access to key contacts for necessary information, and time constraints which prohibited us from investigating the claim that there was a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) iolation in providing supporting documents.
We have identified two recommendations, (1) Include more transparency in the budgeting and accounting processes, (2) HELP Genesis is a permanent supportive housing facility and should continue to receive funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
