description: About a decade ago the present author in collaboration with Daniel Grumiller presented an `unexpected theoretical discovery' of spin one-half fermions with mass dimension one [JCAP 2005, PRD 2005]. In the decade that followed a significant number of groups explored intriguing mathematical and physical properties of the new construct. However, the formalism suffered from two troubling features, that of non-locality and a subtle violation of Lorentz symmetry. Here, we trace the origin of both of these issues to a hidden freedom in the definition of duals of spinors and the associated field adjoints. In the process, for the first time, we provide a quantum theory of spin one-half fermions that is free from all the mentioned issues. The interactions of the new fermions are restricted to dimension-four quartic self interaction, and also to a dimension-four coupling with the Higgs. A generalised Yukawa coupling of the new fermions with neutrinos provides an hitherto unsuspected source of lepton-number violation. The new fermions thus present a first-principle dark matter partner to Dirac fermions of the standard model of high energy physics with contrasting mass dimensions -- that of three halves for the latter versus one of the former without mutating the statistics from fermionic to bosonic.

description: Student Assistants are used in all departments of the library, but very little is directly written about the management of students in university archives and special collections. By reviewing the available literature and presenting the results of several interviews with archival professionals, this paper intends to explain the current approach to internships and archival education; the attitude of supervisors to their student assistants; the available funding options; the ways in which job descriptions are written and positions are publicized; the hiring process; the orientation and training of the new workers; the tasks the assistants are assigned; and the system of motivation, evaluation, and rewards. For each of these topics, the paper explores the differences that exist between the work of graduates and undergraduates and the areas in which the literature and reality do or do not coincide.

description: The goal of this study is to examine how parental attachment relationships measured at baseline before COVID-19 (T0) are associated with COVID-19-related family conflict measured during COVID-19 (T1). Additionally, we will investigate how parental attachment relationships measured at T0 are associated with changes in irritability, stress and loneliness measured in daily life via the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) from T0 to T1. For this, we will use pre-existing data from Wave I of the SIGMA study and from an extra COVID-19 study where we have followed-up and collected data from 173 of 1913 adolescents that were involved in Wave I of the SIGMA study. The SIGMA study is a large-scale ESM cohort study in Flanders (Belgium) in which we had the opportunity to follow up part of its participants during COVID-19 that had participated in Wave I in 2018-2019. In Wave I of the SIGMA study, attachment security was measured via a questionnaire as a part of a large battery of questionnaires. Irritability, stress and loneliness were assessed during a six-day ESM period as a part of a momentary ESM questionnaire during Wave I and during the extra COVID-19 measurement. COVID-19-related family conflict was measured via a retrospective questionnaire as a part of a battery of questionnaires during COVID-19. In all analyses, we will control for age and gender, which were also assessed as a part of the baseline questionnaire during both Wave I and COVID-19.

description: We gauge the impact of spacecraft-induced effects on the inferred variability properties of the light curve of the Seyfert 1 AGN Zw 229-15 observed by \Kepler. We compare the light curve of Zw 229-15 obtained from the Kepler MAST database with a re-processed light curve constructed from raw pixel data (Williams & Carini, 2015). We use the first-order structure function, $SF(δt)$, to fit both light curves to the damped power-law PSD of Kasliwal, Vogeley & Richards, 2015. On short timescales, we find a steeper log-PSD slope ($γ= 2.90$ to within $10$ percent) for the re-processed light curve as compared to the light curve found on MAST ($γ= 2.65$ to within $10$ percent)---both inconsistent with a damped random walk which requires $γ= 2$. The log-PSD slope inferred for the re-processed light curve is consistent with previous results (Carini & Ryle, 2012, Williams & Carini, 2015) that study the same re-processed light curve. The turnover timescale is almost identical for both light curves ($27.1$ and $27.5$~d for the reprocessed and MAST database light curves). Based on the obvious visual difference between the two versions of the light curve and on the PSD model fits, we conclude that there remain significant levels of spacecraft-induced effects in the standard pipeline reduction of the Kepler data. Re-processing the light curves will change the model inferenced from the data but is unlikely to change the overall scientific conclusion reached by Kasliwal et al. 2015---not all AGN light curves are consistent with the DRW.

description: This paper traces the short yet rich history of formal library education in both the United Kingdom and the United States from the late nineteenth century to the present, identifies and analyzes current trends in library education in these countries, particularly distance learning and education programs, and concludes in suggesting what the future holds for library education in the United Kingdom and in the U.S.  The intention of the paper was to offer a comparative analysis of library education in the U.K. and the U.S. and in so doing show how, over the past century, library educators, librarians and students in these two countries have influenced one another.  In the United States, research has shown that, even in more highly ranked programs, students are largely dissatisfied with the quality of the education they are receiving in library schools.  With an understanding of the history of library education in the United Kingdom and some of the recent, innovative experiments that schools of library education have taken in that country, perhaps the overall quality of education in library science in the United States could be substantially improved.

description: Galaxy clusters contain a large population of low mass dwarf elliptical galaxies whose exact origin is unclear: their colors, structural properties and kinematics differ substantially from those of dwarf irregulars in the field. We use the Illustris cosmological simulation to study differences in the assembly paths of dwarf galaxies (3e8 < M_*/M_sun < 1e10) according to their environment. We find that cluster dwarfs achieve their maximum total and stellar mass on average ~ 8 and ~ 4.5 Gyr ago (or redshifts z = 1.0 and z = 0.4, respectively), around the time of infall into the clusters. In contrast, field dwarfs not subjected to environmental stripping, reach their maximum mass at redshift z = 0. This different assembly history naturally produces a color bimodality, with blue isolated dwarfs and redder cluster dwarfs exhibiting negligible star-formation today. The cessation of star formation happens over median times 3.5-5 Gyr depending on stellar mass, and shows a large scatter (~ 1-8 Gyr), with the lower values associated with starburst events that occur at infall through the virial radius or pericentric passages. We argue that such starbursts together with the early assembly of cluster dwarfs can provide a natural explanation for the higher specific frequency of globular clusters (GCs) in cluster dwarfs, as found observationally. We present a simple model for the formation and stripping of GCs that supports this interpretation. The origin of dwarf ellipticals in clusters is, therefore, consistent with an environmentally-driven evolution of field dwarf irregulars. However the z = 0 field analogs of cluster dwarf progenitors have today stellar masses a factor ~ 3 larger --a difference arising from the early truncation of star formation in cluster dwarfs.

Elliptic solutions and solitary waves of a higher order KdV--BBM long wave equation

description: We provide conditions for existence of hyperbolic, unbounded periodic and elliptic solutions in terms of Weierstrass $\wp$ functions of both third and fifth-order KdV--BBM (Korteweg-de Vries--Benjamin, Bona \& Mahony) regularized long wave equation. An analysis for the initial value problem is developed together with a local and global well-posedness theory for the third-order KdV--BBM equation. Traveling wave reduction is used together with zero boundary conditions to yield solitons and periodic unbounded solutions, while for nonzero boundary conditions we find solutions in terms of Weierstrass elliptic $\wp$ functions. For the fifth-order KdV--BBM equation we show that a parameter $γ=\frac {1}{12}$, for which the equation has a Hamiltonian, represents a restriction for which there are constraint curves that never intersect a region of unbounded solitary waves, which in turn shows that only dark or bright solitons and no unbounded solutions exist. Motivated by the lack of a Hamiltonian structure for $γ\neq\frac{1}{12}$ we develop $H^k$ bounds, and we show for the non Hamiltonian system that dark and bright solitons coexist together with unbounded periodic solutions. For nonzero boundary conditions, due to the complexity of the nonlinear algebraic system of coefficients of the elliptic equation we construct Weierstrass solutions for a particular set of parameters only.

description: North American red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) anticipate when white spruce (Picea glauca), their primary food source, will produce large amounts of cones in infrequent and irregular mast years (Boutin et al. 2006). Cones mature in autumn and are then available as food for red squirrels, but females produce larger, and often multiple, litters the preceding spring and summer in anticipation of the upcoming mast. Because this pulse of the cone food resource follows the birth of the litter, it cannot be a source of energy for the female to produce young; instead, there must be cues for increased reproductive investment by the females prior to mast cone production, perhaps through consumption of buds on the masting trees (Boutin et al. 2006, 2013). Boutin et al. (2006) only studied females; whether male behavior anticipates mast years is still unstudied. At our study area in the Yukon, 2014 was a mast year for spruce cone production in late summer (Lamontagne et al. 2005). J. A. Haines was observing male red squirrel mating behavior during spring 2014, giving her an unanticipated opportunity to document the previously unstudied effects of a mast year on male red squirrels.

description: We report the in-plane and out-of-plane heat conductivity of the antiferromagnetic spin-orbit induced Mott insulator Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ with $J_\mathrm{eff} = 1/2$. Our data reveal clear-cut evidence for magnetic heat transport within the IrO$_2$ planes which provides the unique possibility to analyze the thermal occupation and scattering of $J_\mathrm{eff} = 1/2$ pseudospin excitations. The analysis of the magnetic heat conductivity yields a low-temperature ($T \lesssim 75$ K) magnetic mean free path $l_\mathrm{mag} \sim 32$ nm, consistent with boundary scattering. Upon heating towards room temperature, the mean free path strongly decreases by one order of magnitude due to thermally activated scattering of the pseudospin excitations. The latter reveals that the coupling of these excitations to the lattice is radically different from that of $S = 1/2$-excitations in cuprate analogs.

description: This study describes a content analysis of young adult literature which includes at least one visually impaired character. Eight novels published between 1957 and 2008 were selected and examined in regards to their portrayal of the visually impaired character(s). The focus of this paper is to see whether there are any differences in character portrayal in books published before and after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990.  Based on the findings, there is no significant difference in the portrayal of visually impaired characters in young adult novels published before and after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Any differences in their portrayal seem to come from the character's status as a major or minor character.

We also discuss the connection with the question on the structure of intersections of two Cantor sets, which was considered by many authors previously.

description: We have analyzed the transformation from initial coordinates $(v,r)$ of the Vaidya metric with light coordinate $v$ to the most physical diagonal coordinates $(t,r)$. An exact solution has been obtained for the corresponding metric tensor in the case of a linear dependence of the mass function of the Vaidya metric on light coordinate $v$. In the diagonal coordinates, a narrow region (with a width proportional to the mass growth rate of a black hole) has been detected near the visibility horizon of the Vaidya accreting black hole, in which the metric differs qualitatively from the Schwarzschild metric and cannot be represented as a small perturbation. It has been shown that, in this case, a single set of diagonal coordinates $(t,r)$ is insufficient to cover the entire range of initial coordinates $(v,r)$ outside the visibility horizon; at least three sets of diagonal coordinates are required, the domains of which are separated by singular surfaces on which the metric components have singularities (either $g_{00}=0$ or $g_{00}=\infty$.). The energy-momentum tensor diverges on these surfaces; however, the tidal forces turn out to be finite, which follows from an analysis of the deviation equations for geodesics. Therefore, these singular surfaces are exclusively coordinate singularities that can be referred to as false firewalls because there are no physical singularities on them. We have also considered the transformation from the initial coordinates to other diagonal coordinates $(η,y)$, in which the solution is obtained in explicit form, and there is no energy-momentum tensor divergence.

description: Various Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities have appeared and played important roles in convex geometry, matrix theory and complex algebraic geometry. It has been noticed for some time that they share some striking analogies and have intimate relationships. The purpose of this article is to shed new light on this by comparatively investigating them in several aspects. \emph{The principal result} in this article is a complete solution to the equality characterization problem of various Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities for intersection numbers of nef and big classes on compact Kähler manifolds, extending some earlier related results. In addition to this central result, we also give a geometric proof of the complex version of the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality for mixed discriminants and a determinantal generalization of various Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities.

The slow slip of viscous faults

Subjects: subject: Geophysics (physics.geo-ph)

description: We examine a simple mechanism for the spatio-temporal evolution of transient, slow slip. We consider the problem of slip on a fault that lies within an elastic continuum and whose strength is proportional to sliding rate. This rate dependence may correspond to a viscously deforming shear zone or the linearization of a non-linear, rate-dependent fault strength. We examine the response of such a fault to external forcing, such as local increases in shear stress or pore fluid pressure. We show that the slip and slip rate are governed by a type of diffusion equation, the solution of which is found using a Green's function approach. We derive the long-time, self-similar asymptotic expansion for slip or slip rate, which depend on both time $t$ and a similarity coordinate $η=x/t$, where $x$ denotes fault position. The similarity coordinate shows a departure from classical diffusion and is owed to the non-local nature of elastic interaction among points on an interface between elastic half-spaces. We demonstrate the solution and asymptotic analysis of several example problems. Following sudden impositions of loading, we show that slip rate ultimately decays as $1/t$ while spreading proportionally to $t$, implying both a logarithmic accumulation of displacement as well as a constant moment rate. We discuss the implication for models of post-seismic slip as well as spontaneously emerging slow slip events.

description: We present the results of an age determination study for pre-main sequence stars in the Ophiuchus molecular cloud. The ages of eight pre-main sequence stars were estimated from surface gravities derived from high-resolution spectroscopy. The average age of the target stars was 0.7 Myr. By comparing the individual age and the near-infrared color excess, we found that color excess decreases gradually with a constant rate and the lifetime of the inner disk was determined to be 1.2 Myr. The estimated lifetime is nearly a half of the time compared to that of the pre-main sequence stars in the Taurus molecular cloud estimated with the same method. This result indicates that the disk evolution timescale depends on the environment of the star-forming region.

Rigidity results for $L^p$-operator algebras and applications

Subjects: subject: Operator Algebras (math.OA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: For $p\in [1,\infty)$, we show that every unital $L^p$-operator algebra contains a unique maximal $C^*$-subalgebra, which is always abelian if $p\neq 2$. Using this, we canonically associate to every unital $L^p$-operator algebra $A$ an étale groupoid $\mathcal{G}_A$, which in many cases of interest is a complete invariant for $A$. By identifying this groupoid for large classes of examples, we obtain a number of rigidity results that display a stark contrast with the case $p=2$; the most striking one being that of crossed products by topologically free actions.
 Our rigidity results give answers to questions concerning the existence of isomorphisms between different algebras. Among others, we show that for the $L^p$-analog $\mathcal{O}_2^p$ of the Cuntz algebra, there is no isometric isomorphism between $\mathcal{O}_2^p$ and $\mathcal{O}_2^p\otimes^p\mathcal{O}_2^p$, when $p\neq 2$. In particular, we deduce that there is no $L^p$-version of Kirchberg's absorption theorem, and that there is no $K$-theoretic classification of purely infinite simple amenable $L^p$-operator algebras for $p\neq 2$. Our methods also allow us to recover a folklore fact in the case of C*-algebras ($p=2$), namely that no isomorphism $\mathcal{O}_2^p\cong \mathcal{O}_2^p\otimes\mathcal{O}_2^p$ preserves the canonical Cartan subalgebras.

Using Circulation and Interlibrary Loan Statistics to Inform Subsection-level Collection Development in an Academic Branch Music Library

Academic libraries--Collection development

description: This study attempts to address future collection development priorities of the Music Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill through recent-past circulation patterns by examining circulation statistics for the past twenty years, as well as interlibrary loan statistics for the past nine years, to determine which subsections of the library are overused or underused compared to the library's baseline circulation. Subsections studied included LC subclasses of books and scores, book and score size, Dewey vs. LC scores, books stored offsite, and book language. Results suggest that the music library has an acceptable circulation rate for both books and scores, though the library might consider collecting more of the following to more closely align with patron use and demand: secular vocal music scores, French- and Spanish language books, and books about jazz and popular music.

Josephson current in a normal-metal nanowire coupled to superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor junction

description: We consider superconducting nanowire proximity coupled to superconductor / ferromagnet / superconductor junction, where the magnetization penetrates into superconducting segment in nanowire decaying as $\sim\exp[-\frac{\mid n \mid}ξ]$ with site index $n$ and the decay length $ξ$. We tune chemical potential and spin-orbit coupling so that topological superconducting regime hosting Majorana fermion is realized for long $ξ$. We find that when $ξ$ becomes shorter, zero energy state at the interface between superconductor and ferromagnet splits into two away from zero energy. Accordingly, the behavior of Josephson current is drastically changed due to this "zero mode-non-zero mode crossover". By tuning the model parameters, we find an almost second-harmonic current-phase relation, $\sin2φ$, with phase difference $φ$. Based on the analysis of Andreev bound state (ABS), we clarify that current-phase relation is determined by coupling of the states within the energy gap. We find that the emergence of crossing points of ABS is a key ingredient to generate $\sin2φ$ dependence in current-phase relation. We further study both the energy and $φ$ dependence of pair amplitudes in the ferromagnetic region. For long $ξ$, odd-frequency spin-triplet $s$-wave component is dominant. The magnitude of the odd-frequency pair amplitude is enhanced at the energy level of ABS.

description: We study all extensions of the Standard Model (SM) with a vector dark matter (VDM) candidate which can explain the peak structure observed by recent DAMPE experiment in electron-positron cosmic ray spectrum. In this regard, we consider all leptophilic renormalizable VDM-SM interactions through scalar, spinor, and vector mediators. We show that only two out of six possible models could produce DAMPE signal by annihilation of VDM with the mass about 1.5 TeV in a nearby subhalo whilst simultaneously satisfying constraints from DM relic density, direct/indirect detection, and the collider bounds. These two models are the ones with scalar/pseudoscalar mediator $ ϕ$ with $ M_ϕ \in [1500,3000] $ GeV.

Educational Use of Mobile Devices

description: Teen use of mobile devices and cell phones is growing at a rapid pace. Schools today are having difficulties enforcing an acceptable level of use of these devices during instructional time in the classroom. Instead of banning these devices all together to prevent such misuses as cheating, some institutions are taking the opposite approach and trying to include them in the students' daily activities to promote responsible use and as an aid to learning. A participatory design study was conducted with students to gather the user requirements for a mobile version of an existing course management system for Middle and Upper School students at a North Carolina private school. It will be based on Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch platform and include features such as class assignments, resources, and school events.

So far these results include the following families of the integrals: 3-loop onshell massless vertices, 3-loop onshell mass operator type integrals, 4-loop QED-type tadpoles, 4-loop massless propagators. The package can be used for high-precision numerical computation of the expansion coefficients of the integrals from the above families around arbitrary space-time dimension. In addition, this package can also be used for calculation of multiple zeta values, harmonic polylogarithms and other transcendental numbers expressed in terms of nested sums with factorized summand.

description: Shadow detection in general photos is a nontrivial problem, due to the complexity of the real world. Though recent shadow detectors have already achieved remarkable performance on various benchmark data, their performance is still limited for general real-world situations. In this work, we collected shadow images for multiple scenarios and compiled a new dataset of 10,500 shadow images, each with labeled ground-truth mask, for supporting shadow detection in the complex world. Our dataset covers a rich variety of scene categories, with diverse shadow sizes, locations, contrasts, and types. Further, we comprehensively analyze the complexity of the dataset, present a fast shadow detection network with a detail enhancement module to harvest shadow details, and demonstrate the effectiveness of our method to detect shadows in general situations.
