description: Matter bounces are bouncing scenarios wherein the universe contracts as in a matter dominated phase at early times. Such scenarios are known to lead to a scale invariant spectrum of tensor perturbations just as de Sitter inflation does. In this work, we examine if the tensor bi-spectrum can discriminate between the inflationary and the bouncing scenarios. Using the Maldacena formalism, we analytically evaluate the tensor bi-spectrum in a matter bounce for an arbitrary triangular configuration of the wavevectors. We show that, over scales of cosmological interest, the non-Gaussianity parameter $h_{_{\rm NL}}$ that characterizes the amplitude of the tensor bi-spectrum is quite small when compared to the corresponding values in de Sitter inflation. During inflation, the amplitude of the tensor perturbations freeze on super-Hubble scales, a behavior that results in the so-called consistency condition relating the tensor bi-spectrum and the power spectrum in the squeezed limit. In contrast, in the bouncing scenarios, the amplitude of the tensor perturbations grow strongly as one approaches the bounce, which suggests that the consistency condition will not be valid in such situations. We explicitly show that the consistency relation is indeed violated in the matter bounce. We discuss the implications of the results.

description: Major depression has been a worldwide concern and poses a threat to both the mental and physical health of its sufferers. Currently, practitioners rely on standard surveys and questionnaires to diagnose depression. However, these means of diagnosis are costly and come into play after the worsening of the depression rather than offering an easily accessible means of early detection. Using the CLEF/eRisk 2017 dataset, this thesis combined basic natural language techniques including TF-IDF, the state-of-art Word2Vec model, LIWC features and a manually built sentiment dictionary. A logistic regression classifier achieved an F1 score of 0.6207 using the whole test data.This approach might offer some contributions to future research which addresses the thorny issue of depression screening.

description: Abstract

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and chronic energy deficiency are bidirectional and

multifaceted. HIV can cause or worsen chronic energy deficiency by increasing energy requirements, reducing food

intake and nutrient absorption. Chronic energy deficiency weakens the immune system, increase the susceptibility

to infections and worsening the disease impact. Studies on the magnitude and factors associated with chronic

energy deficiency among adults living with HIV are limited. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of

chronic energy deficiency and associated factors among adults living with HIV in Gondar University Referral

Hospital, northwest Ethiopia.

Methods: An institution based cross-sectional study was conducted and systematic random sampling was used to

select study subjects. A total of 317 study subjects were enrolled in the study. Structured and pretested questionnaire

was used to collect socio-demographic, economic and diet related variables. Weight and height measurement were

taken and medical charts were reviewed. Laboratory analysis for CD4 count and anemia was done. Bi-variable and

multi-variable logistic regression analyses were used to assess the effect of different factors on chronic energy

deficiency.

Results: A total of 317 patients provide complete information with response rate of 99.4%. The overall prevalence of

chronic energy deficiency was 18.3% (95%CI: 14.5%–22.7%). The prevalence of mild, moderate and severe chronic

energy deficiency was 11.4, 3.5 and 3.5% respectively. No formal education (AOR = 2.05,95%CI:1.01,4.21), being in the

WHO clinical stage three and four (AOR = 3.84,95%CI:1.39,10.61) and history of diarrhea in the last two weeks prior to

the survey (AOR = 4.43,95%CI:1.83,10.72) were significantly associated with chronic energy deficiency.

Conclusion: The prevalence of chronic energy deficiency among adults living with HIV was medium public health

problem. Educational status, WHO clinical stage, and history of diarrhea in the last two weeks prior to the survey were

risks for chronic energy deficiency. Integration of nutritional management with HAART, early diagnosis and treatment

of diarrheal disease would be supreme important.

description: The intermediate Jacobian map, which associates to a smooth cubic threefold its intermediate Jacobian, does not extend to the GIT compactification of the space of cubic threefolds, not even as a map to the Satake compactification of the moduli space of principally polarized abelian fivefolds. A much better "wonderful" compactification of the space of cubic threefolds was constructed by the first and fourth authors --- it has a modular interpretation, and divisorial normal crossing boundary. We prove that the intermediate Jacobian map extends to a morphism from the wonderful compactification to the second Voronoi toroidal compactification of the moduli of principally polarized abelian fivefolds --- the first and fourth author previously showed that it extends to the Satake compactification. Since the second Voronoi compactification has a modular interpretation, our extended intermediate Jacobian map encodes all of the geometric information about the degenerations of intermediate Jacobians, and allows for the study of the geometry of cubic threefolds via degeneration techniques. As one application we give a complete classification of all degenerations of intermediate Jacobians of cubic threefolds of torus rank 1 and 2.

description: We develop a general perturbative computation of finite-frequency quantum noise which applies, in particular, to both good or weakly transmitting strongly correlated conductors coupled to a generic environment. Under a minimal set of hypotheses, we show that the noise can be expressed through the non-equilibrium DC current only, generalizing a non-equilibrium fluctuation dissipation relation. We use this relation to derive explicit predictions for the non equilibrium finite frequency noise for a single channel conductor connected to an arbitrary Ohmic environment.

Analysis of Availability Using Virtual Machine Placement Algorithms for Cloud IaaS
Creators: name: Ammanuel Shawel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Cloud Computing paradigm is most popular for its flexibility in resource provisioning by creating virtual machines of the requested specification on the underlying physical infrastructure. Infrastructure-as-a-Service, which requires a provider to allocate virtual machines (VMs), has significant impact on the availability of accommodated applications. Due to this, several algorithms have been proposed for the VM placement problem with little or no objective comparison hiding the fact which one works best or what factors influence the availability of the algorithms. In this thesis work, comparison of four algorithms using metrics of availability is presented. The findings showed that the impact of VM placement algorithms along with memory and CPU utilization play an important role in maintaining the availability of IaaS for cloud. As a result, algorithms which perform well on one metric perform poorly on the other metrics underlining the importance of objectively comparing the availability of competing algorithms and highlighting the importance of thorough empirical studies not only for power consumption and other QoS attributes but also for availability as one important aspect of cloud computing.

description: The mode of acquisition and causes for the variable clinical spectrum of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remain unknown. We utilized a reverse genetics system to generate a GFP reporter virus to explore severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pathogenesis and a luciferase reporter virus to demonstrate sera collected from SARS and COVID-19 patients exhibited limited cross-CoV neutralization. High-sensitivity RNA in situ mapping revealed the highest angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expres-sion in the nose with decreasing expression throughout the lower respiratory tract, paralleled by a striking gradient of SARS-CoV-2 infection in proximal (high) versus distal (low) pulmonary epithelial cultures. COVID-19 autopsied lung studies identiﬁed focal disease and, congruent with culture data, SARS-CoV-2-in-fected ciliated and type 2 pneumocyte cells in airway and alveolar regions, respectively. These ﬁndings high-light the nasal susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 with likely subsequent aspiration-mediated virus seeding to the lung in SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis. These reagents provide a foundation for investigations into virus-host in-teractions in protective immunity, host susceptibility, and virus pathogenesis.

description: The production of Z bosons associated with jets is measured in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with data recorded with the CMS experiment at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb$^{-1}$. The multiplicity of jets with transverse momentum $p_\mathrm{T} \gt$ 30 GeV is measured for different regions of the Z boson's $p_\mathrm{T}$(Z), from lower than 10 GeV to higher than 100 GeV. The azimuthal correlation $\Delta \phi$ between the Z boson and the leading jet, as well as the correlations between the two leading jets are measured in three regions of $p_\mathrm{T}$(Z). The measurements are compared with several predictions at leading and next-to-leading orders, interfaced with parton showers. Predictions based on transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions and corresponding parton showers give a good description of the measurement in the regions where multiple parton interactions and higher jet multiplicities are not important. The effects of multiple parton interactions are shown to be important to correctly describe the measured spectra in the low $p_\mathrm{T}$(Z) regions.

description: We discuss the emulation of non-Hermitian dynamics during a given time window by a low-dimensional quantum system coupled to a finite set of equidistant discrete states acting as an effective continuum. We first emulate the decay of an unstable state, and map the quasi-continuum parameters enabling a precise approximation of the non-Hermitian dynamics. The limitations of this model, including in particular short- and long- time deviations, are extensively discussed. We then consider a driven two-dimensional system, and establish criteria for the non-Hermitian dynamics emulation with a finite quasi-continuum. We quantitatively analyze the signatures of finiteness of the effective continuum, addressing the possible emergence of non-Markovian behavior during the time interval considered. Finally, we investigate the emulation of dissipative dynamics using a finite quasi-continuum with a tailored density of states. We show on the example of a two-level system that such a continuum can reproduce non-Hermitian dynamics more efficiently than the usual equidistant quasi-continuum model.

description: We report the detection of a rare transiting brown dwarf with a mass of 59 M_Jup and radius of 1.1 R_Jup around the metal-rich, [Fe/H] = +0.44, G9V star CoRoT-33. The orbit is eccentric (e = 0.07) with a period of 5.82 d. The companion, CoRoT-33b, is thus a new member in the so-called brown dwarf desert. The orbital period is within 3% to a 3:2 resonance with the rotational period of the star. CoRoT-33b may be an important test case for tidal evolution studies. The true frequency of brown dwarfs close to their host stars (P < 10 d) is estimated to be approximately 0.2% which is about six times smaller than the frequency of hot Jupiters in the same period range. We suspect that the frequency of brown dwarfs declines faster with decreasing period than that of giant planets.

description: A number of strongly correlated heavy fermion compounds, such as samarium (Sm), ytterbium (Yb), plutonium (Pu) hexaboride, are predicted to become topological insulators at low temperatures. These systems support massless Dirac fermions near certain (three) points of the surface Brillouin zone, hereafter referred to as the valleys. In strong perpendicular magnetic fields, the conical Dirac dispersions of these surface states quench onto three sets of Landau levels and we predict various possible hierarchies of incompressible quantum Hall states on the surface of hexaborides. In addition, we address the effects of strong electron-electron interaction within the surface zeroth Landau levels. Specifically, we show that depending on the relative strength of the long-range (Coulomb-type) and the finite-range (Hubbard-type) interactions the ground state can display either a valley-polarized or a valley-coherent distribution of electronic density. We also show that the transition between two valley-polarized states is always discontinuous, while that between a valley-polarized and a valley-coherent phase is continuous. The Zeeman splitting and/or an applied uniaxial strain on the surface can drive the system through various quantum phase transitions and place it in different broken-symmetry phases. Application of uniaxial strain is also shown to considerably modify the precise sequence of quantum Hall states. We also highlight the role of topology in determining the broken symmetry phases, disorder on the surface of topological hexaborides in strong magnetic fields.

Year: 2020

description: Telecom operators should monitor the satisfaction level of their customers and the quality of their networks to take on-time network optimization, redesign and marketing, in general effective resource allocation decisions. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of fixed wire-line broadband performances on the customers’ experience. QoE is an emerging technology, it has become an increasing research area. In this thesis, QoE is evaluated with objective and subjective methods. Most of earlier studies used subjective method to evaluate QoE, but the evaluation we used a combination of objective and subjective methods which give more realistic results. Moreover, the nobility of this thesis to the best of my knowledge is a unique combination of network quality metrics. It is based on download, upload speed and latency of QoE objective metrics which are collected from the customers’ end devices, using Testmy.net, ping-test.net tools. Furthermore, we formulate a survey questionnaire to evaluate user MOS.

description: We perform fully coupled two--dimensional numerical simulations of plane channel helium II counterflows with vortex--line density typical of experiments. The main features of our approach are the inclusion of the back reaction of the superfluid vortices on the normal fluid and the presence of solid boundaries. Despite the reduced dimensionality, our model is realistic enough to reproduce vortex density distributions across the channel recently calculated in three--dimensions. We focus on the coarse--grained superfluid and normal fluid velocity profiles, recovering the normal fluid profile recently observed employing a technique based on laser--induced fluorescence of metastable helium molecules.

description: In the 1950-ies P. F. Strawson proposed the Logic of Presuppositions. In this system sentences with empty subject are considered neither true nor false. Strawson considered only simple sentences with two predicate letters. But the concept can be extended to arbitrary monadic, even polyadic sentences utilizing truth-relevant logic developed by Richard Diaz. It can be shown that self-referential Gödel's sentence in fact has an empty subject, and can thus be classified by the Logic of Presuppositions as neither true nor false.

description: The interaction between polymer brush and colloidal particles has been intensively studied in the last two decades. Here we consider a flat chain-grafted substrate immersed in a bath of active particles. Simulations show that an increase in the self-propelling force causes an increase in the number of particles that penetrate into the brush. Anomalously, the particle density inside the main body of the brush eventually becomes higher than that outside the brush at very large self-propelling force. The grafted chains are further stretched due to the steric repulsion from the intruded particles. Upon the increase of the self-propelling force, distinct stretching behaviors of chains were observed for low and high grafting densities. Surprisingly, we found a weak descent of the end-to-end distance of chains for high grafting density and very large force which is reminiscent of the compression effect of a chain in the active bath.

Specifically, we establish the nonlinear stability of Minkowski spacetime for self-gravitating massive scalar fields, while existing methods only apply to massless scalar fields. First of all, by analyzing the structure of the Einstein equations in wave coordinates, we exhibit a nonlinear wave-Klein-Gordon model defined on a curved background, which is the focus of the present paper. For this model, we prove here the existence of global-in-time solutions to the Cauchy problem, when the initial data have sufficiently small Sobolev norms. A major difficulty comes from the fact that the class of conformal Killing fields of Minkowski space is significantly reduced in presence of a massive scalar field, since the scaling vector field is not conformal Killing for the Klein-Gordon operator. Our method relies on the foliation (of the interior of the light cone) of Minkowski spacetime by hyperboloidal hypersurfaces and uses Lorentz-invariant energy norms. We introduce a frame of vector fields adapted to the hyperboloidal foliation and we establish several key properties: Sobolev and Hardy-type inequalities on hyperboloids, as well as sup-norm estimates which correspond to the sharp time decay for the wave and the Klein-Gordon equations. These estimates allow us to control interaction terms associated with the curved geometry and the massive field, by distinguishing between two levels of regularity and energy growth and by a successive use of our key estimates in order to close a bootstrap argument.

description: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was initially identified in an outbreak of viral pneumonia in Wuhan, People’s Republic of China, in December 2019, and it has now been recognized in 77 countries with over 90 000 laboratory-confirmed cases and over 3000 deaths as of March 3, 2020 [1]. The epidemiology of COVID-19 has recently become clearer as incident cases continue to rise and researchers refine estimates of the severity, transmissibility, and populations affected. Based on available data, COVID-19 is efficiently transmitted in the community, and the proportion of infections leading to severe illness is particularly high among adults ≥50 years of age and among individuals with comorbid health conditions. Although rare, severe cases have also been reported among younger individuals. Thus far, the estimated basic reproductive number of COVID-19 is higher than that of influenza [2], as is the case fatality risk for adults and older individuals.

description: We demonstrate arbitrary coherent addressing of individual neutral atoms in a $5\times 5\times 5$ array formed by an optical lattice. Addressing is accomplished using rapidly reconfigurable crossed laser beams to selectively ac Stark shift target atoms, so that only target atoms are resonant with state-changing microwaves. The effect of these targeted single qubit gates on the quantum information stored in non-targeted atoms is smaller than $3\times 10^{-3}$ in state fidelity. This is an important step along the path of converting the scalability promise of neutral atoms into reality.

description: We use compatibility of D-brane action with linear T-duality, S-duality and with S-matrix elements as guiding principles to find all world volume couplings of one massless closed and two open strings at order $α'^2$ in type II superstring theories. In particular, we find that the squares of second fundamental form appear only in world volume curvatures, and confirm the observation that dilaton appears in string frame action via the transformation $\hat{R}_{μν}\rightarrow \hat{R}_{μν}+\nabla_μ\nabla_νΦ$.

We provide a definition of trace over a crossed module such to yield surface knot invariants upon application to 2-holonomies. We show further that the properties of the trace are best described using the theory quandle crossed modules.

description: Emerging coronaviruses (CoV) are constant global public health threats to society. Multiple ongoing clinical trials for vaccines and antivirals against CoVs showcase the availability of medical interventions to both prevent and treat the future emergence of highly pathogenic CoVs in human. However, given the diverse nature of CoVs and our close interactions with wild, domestic and companion animals, the next epidemic zoonotic CoV could resist the existing vaccines and antivirals developed, which are primarily focused on Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS CoV). In late 2019, the novel CoV (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan, China, causing global public health concern. In this review, we will summarize the key advancements of current vaccines and antivirals against SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV as well as discuss the challenge and opportunity in the current SARS-CoV-2 crisis. At the end, we advocate the development of a “plug-and-play” platform technologies that could allow quick manufacturing and administration of broad-spectrum countermeasures in an outbreak setting. We will discuss the potential of AAV-based gene therapy technology for in vivo therapeutic antibody delivery to combat SARS-CoV-2 outbreak and the future emergence of severe CoVs.

description: Monte Carlo sampling for Bayesian posterior inference is a common approach used in machine learning. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo procedures that are used are often discrete-time analogues of associated stochastic differential equations (SDEs). These SDEs are guaranteed to leave invariant the required posterior distribution. An area of current research addresses the computational benefits of stochastic gradient methods in this setting. Existing techniques rely on estimating the variance or covariance of the subsampling error, and typically assume constant variance. In this article, we propose a covariance-controlled adaptive Langevin thermostat that can effectively dissipate parameter-dependent noise while maintaining a desired target distribution. The proposed method achieves a substantial speedup over popular alternative schemes for large-scale machine learning applications.
Understanding Users of the North Carolina Water And Wastewater Rate Dashboard
Creators: name: Cavalier, Julia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The University of North Carolina Environmental Finance Center produces a variety of tools to support water and wastewater utilities. Water and wastewater rates dashboards have been produced for 16 states and are the most used tools on the Environmental Finance Center’s website. Dashboards are periodically updated. 

This research is a comprehensive approach to user evaluation. The research is split into two phases. Phase 1 is a quantitative analysis using website analytics and past survey data, focused on North Carolina utilities. Data visualizations describe North Carolina dashboard use and identifies opportunities to improve future website analytics. Phase 2 will focus on quantitative analysis and will be addressed in future publications. Phase 1 results reinforce literature review findings, indicating that utilities requesting rate increases sufficient to cover operating expenses and capital expenses were more likely to receive any rate increase than utilities who did not request a rates increase or requested an increase that would only cover operating expenses. Analytics analysis was hampered by how analytics were recorded in two different website domains. As a result, this research recommends making tracking consistent between the domains and recommends filtering dual page views out of tracking dashboards on the domain https://efc.sog.unc.edu.

description: We report the fabrication and characterization of an alternative design for a superconducting quantum interference proximity transistor (SQUIPT) based on a normal metal (N) probe. The absence of direct Josephson coupling between the proximized metal nanowire and the N probe allows us to observe the full modulation of the wire density of states around zero voltage and current \textit{via} the application of an external magnetic field. This results into a drastic suppression of power dissipation which can be as low as a few $\sim 10^{-17}$ W. In this context the interferometer allows an improvement of up to four orders of magnitude with respect to earlier SQUIPT designs, and makes it ideal for extra-low power cryogenic applications. In addition, the N-SQUIPT has been recently predicted to be the enabling candidate for the implementation of coherent caloritronic devices based on proximity effect.

Once Upon a Scheme: Conceptualizing Digital Fairy Tale and Folklore Classification Systems for Extra-Academic Professionals
Creators: name: Crevasse, Isabel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This paper examines the utility of dominant fairy tale and folklore classification systems and indices such as the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index and the Stith-Thompson Motif Index to extra-academic professionals who regularly engage with fairy tales and folklore as a part of their work. It further utilizes readers’ advisory principles, particularly appeal- and story element-based readers’ advisory, in order to suggest a demographically-tailored descriptive schema capable of serving as the theoretical foundation for a fairy tale and folklore database intended for use not by academic folklorists and researchers but by youth librarians, school librarians, storytellers, and other professionals in fields other than research and academia. Extra-academic professionals were interviewed as key informants in order to gain insight into what elements of fairy tales or folklore are useful or appealing to their work, and the results of these interviews were used to guide the development of various attributes, controlled vocabularies, authority sources, and associated scope notes for an early-stage foundational schema.
