description: Hydro-mechanical anisotropy of clay soils in response to deformation or deposition history is related to the micromechanics of plate-like clay particles and their orientations. In this letter, we examine the relationship between microstructure, deformation and moisture content in kaolin clay using a technique based on neutron scattering. This technique allows for the direct characterisation of the microstructure within representative samples using traditional measures such as the orientation density function and soil fabric tensor. From this information, evidence for a simple relationship between components of the deviatoric strain tensor and the deviatoric fabric tensor emerged. This relationship provides a physical basis for future anisotropic constitutive models based on the micromechanics of these materials.

Spanish-American War

description: The purpose of this thesis is to provide a comparative study of American public education strategies in two of its colonial possessions at the beginning of the 20th century. The United States defeated the Spanish in 1899 and took over the Philippines and Puerto Rico, both of which shared a long history of Spanish rule. Victory in the war with Spain propelled the United States into the ranks of the imperial club and posed challenges greater than any encountered in the conquest of the native Americans and the West. At the time of Spain's defeat Filipinos had already taken up arms against the Spanish while Puerto Ricans had won concessions through negotiation and both looked forward to independence; however, the U.S. intention to retain lands that they felt had been won fairly in battle dashed such hopes. Before President McKinley could apply American-style, liberal, republican governance to what he and most Anglo-Saxons viewed as the less civilized natives of these territories, the army had to quell an armed Filipino resistance and lay the groundwork for a colonial government. Offering free public education became a key component of a U.S. strategy to create compliant citizens and at the same time shrink the ranks of those willing to take up arms against American rule. American attempts to expand the availability of education in the Philippines, scene of some of the most ferocious fighting, have received a lot of praise mainly for its nobility and accomplishments. However, judging the effort based upon the original goal of creating an educated populace capable of taking its leaders to task reveals shortcomings. This thesis compares American public education in the Philippines with the system implemented in Puerto Rico. It has been over a century since Admiral Dewey entered Manila Bay, but a study of the strategies used in the American territories can still provide lessons today. Nations, including the U.S., continue to invade other countries for various reasons, stated and otherwise. Invariably, some form of rebuilding occurs after an invasion and are presented as concise steps leading to a preferred outcome. Looking back at early American imperialism in the Philippines and Puerto Rico provides evidence that plans, even those that are the centerpiece of a strategy, remain very malleable- pushed, pulled and sometimes broken due to the exertions of those who claim an interest or instead may be threatened. The influence of native leaders, colonial administrators, U.S. politicians, and corporations all played a part in determining the successes and failures of the imperial enterprise.

description: We consider the Heisenberg-Euler action for an electromagnetic field in vacuum, which includes quantum corrections to the Maxwell equations induced by photon-photon scattering. We show that, in some configurations, the plane monochromatic waves become unstable, due to the appearance of secularities in the dynamical equations. These secularities can be treated using a multiscale approach, introducing a slow time variable. The amplitudes of the plane electromagnetic waves satisfy a system of ordinary differential nonlinear equations in the slow time. The analysis of this system shows that, due to the effect of photon-photon scattering, in the unstable configurations the electromagnetic waves oscillate periodically between left-hand-sided and right-hand-sided polarizations. Finally, we discuss the physical implications of this finding, and the possibility of disclosing traces of this effect in optical experiments.

description: We present spectroscopy of the optical counterpart to 1RXS J162848.1-41524, also known as the microquasar candidate MCQC J162847-4152. All the data indicate that this X-ray source is not a microquasar, and that it is a single-lined chromospherically active binary system with a likely orbital period of 4.9 days. Our analysis supports a K3IV spectral classification for the star, which is dominant at optical wavelengths. The unseen binary component is most likely a late-type (K7-M) dwarf or a white dwarf. Using the high resolution spectra we have measured the K3 star's rotational broadening to be vsini = 43 +/- 3 km/s and determined a lower limit to the binary mass ratio of q(=M2/M1)>2.0. The high rotational broadening together with the strong CaII H & K / Halpha emission and high-amplitude photometric variations indicate that the evolved star is very chromospherically active and responsible for the X-ray/radio emission.

description: Local history has the tendency to become vague and colored with incredulity when not recorded. Certainly there is much to be written concerning any area. When a mining region is studied with all its fortune and misfortune, we find most individuals anxious to recall the colorful or the odd occurrence. As a result, the drama of sacrifice and courage on the part of the pioneers of the area is sometimes overlooked.

description: Generative AI systems have been heralded as tools for augmenting human creativity and inspiring divergent thinking, though with little empirical evidence for these claims. This paper explores the effects of exposure to AI-generated images on measures of design fixation and divergent thinking in a visual ideation task. Through a between-participants experiment (N=60), we found that support from an AI image generator during ideation leads to higher fixation on an initial example. Participants who used AI produced fewer ideas, with less variety and lower originality compared to a baseline. Our qualitative analysis suggests that the effectiveness of co-ideation with AI rests on participants' chosen approach to prompt creation and on the strategies used by participants to generate ideas in response to the AI's suggestions. We discuss opportunities for designing generative AI systems for ideation support and incorporating these AI tools into ideation workflows.

description: The escalating focus on data privacy poses significant challenges for collaborative neural network training, where data ownership and model training/deployment responsibilities reside with distinct entities. Our community has made substantial contributions to addressing this challenge, proposing various approaches such as federated learning (FL) and privacy-preserving machine learning based on cryptographic constructs like homomorphic encryption (HE) and secure multiparty computation (MPC). However, FL completely overlooks model privacy, and HE has limited extensibility (confined to only one data provider). While the state-of-the-art MPC frameworks provide reasonable throughput and simultaneously ensure model/data privacy, they rely on a critical non-colluding assumption on the computing servers, and relaxing this assumption is still an open problem.
 In this paper, we present Pencil, the first private training framework for collaborative learning that simultaneously offers data privacy, model privacy, and extensibility to multiple data providers, without relying on the non-colluding assumption. Our fundamental design principle is to construct the n-party collaborative training protocol based on an efficient two-party protocol, and meanwhile ensuring that switching to different data providers during model training introduces no extra cost. We introduce several novel cryptographic protocols to realize this design principle and conduct a rigorous security and privacy analysis. Our comprehensive evaluations of Pencil demonstrate that (i) models trained in plaintext and models trained privately using Pencil exhibit nearly identical test accuracies; (ii) The training overhead of Pencil is greatly reduced: Pencil achieves 10 ~ 260x higher throughput and 2 orders of magnitude less communication than prior art; (iii) Pencil is resilient against both existing and adaptive (white-box) attacks.

description: We present an observation of $B\toη^\prime K^*$. The data sample corresponds to 232 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$ Factory at SLAC. We measure the branching fractions (in units of $10^{-6}$) $\mathcal{B}(B^0\toη^\prime K^{*0}) = 3.8\pm1.1\pm0.5$ and $\mathcal{B}(B^+\toη^\prime K^{*+}) = 4.9^{+1.9}_{-1.7}\pm0.8$, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. A simultaneous fit results in the observation of $B\toη^\prime K^*$ with $\mathcal{B}(B\toη^\prime K^*) = 4.1_{-0.9}^{+1.0} \pm 0.5$. We also search for $B\toη^\prime ρ$ and $B\toη^\prime f_0(980)(f_0 \to π^+π^-)$ with results and 90% confidence level upper limits $\mathcal{B}(B^+\toη^\prime ρ^+) = 8.7^{+3.1}_{-2.8}{} ^{+2.3}_{-1.3}$ ($<14$), $\mathcal{B}(B^0\toη^\prime ρ^0) < 3.7$ and $\mathcal{B}(B^0\toη^\prime f_0(980)(f_0\toπ^+π^-)) < 1.5$. Charge asymmetries in the channels with significant yields are consistent with zero.

description: The diagonal effect of orders is well documented in different markets, which states that orders are more likely to be followed by orders of the same aggressiveness and implies the presence of short-term correlations in order flows. Based on the order flow data of 43 Chinese stocks, we investigate if there are long-range correlations in the time series of order aggressiveness. The detrending moving average analysis shows that there are crossovers in the scaling behaviors of overall fluctuations and order aggressiveness exhibits linear long-term correlations. We design an objective procedure to determine the two Hurst indexes delimited by the crossover scale. We find no correlations in the short term and strong correlations in the long term for all stocks except for an outlier stock. The long-term correlation is found to depend on several firm specific characteristics. We also find that there are nonlinear long-term correlations in the order aggressiveness when we perform the multifractal detrending moving average analysis.

description: Constitutive models are essential for describing the mechanical behavior of materials under high temperatures and pressures, among which the Steinberg-Guinan (SG) model is widely adopted. Recent work has discovered a peculiar dual anomaly of compression-induced softening and heating-induced hardening in the elasticity of compressed vanadium [Phys. Rev. B 104, 134102 (2021)], which is beyond the capability of the SG model to describe. In this work, a modified SG constitutive model is proposed to embody such an anomalous behavior. Elemental vanadium is considered as an example to demonstrate the effectiveness of this improved model in describing the dual anomalies of mechanical elasticity. This new variant of the SG model can also be applied to other materials that present an irregular variation in the mechanical elasticity, and is important to faithfully model and simulate the mechanical response of materials under extreme conditions.

description: A universal formula for an action associated with a noncommutative geometry, defined by a spectal triple $(\Ac ,\Hc ,D)$, is proposed. It is based on the spectrum of the Dirac operator and is a geometric invariant. The new symmetry principle is the automorphism of the algebra $\Ac $ which combines both diffeomorphisms and internal symmetries. Applying this to the geometry defined by the spectrum of the standard model gives an action that unifies gravity with the standard model at a very high energy scale.

description: We study the quasi-normal modes of asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes in a class of shift-symmetric Horndeski theories where a gravitational scalar is derivatively coupled to the Einstein tensor. The space-time differs from exact Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter, resulting in a different effective potential for the quasi-normal modes and a different spectrum. We numerically compute this spectrum for a massless test scalar coupled both minimally to the metric, and non-minimally to the gravitational scalar. We find interesting differences from the Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter black hole found in general relativity.

A Kazhdan-Lusztig Algorithm for Whittaker Modules

description: This dissertation develops the structure theory of the category Whittaker modules for a complex semisimple Lie algebra. We establish a character theory that distinguishes isomorphism classes of Whittaker modules in the Grothendieck group of the category, then use the localization functor of Beilinson and Bernstein to realize Whittaker modules geometrically as certain twisted D-modules on the associated flag variety (so called "twisted Harish-Chandra sheaves"). The main result of this document is an algorithm for computing the multiplicities of irreducible Whittaker modules in the composition series of standard Whittaker modules, which are generalizations of Verma modules. This algorithm establishes that the multiplicities are determined by a collection of polynomials we refer to as Whittaker Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials.
Scattering induced dynamical entanglement and the quantum-classical correspondence

description: The generation of entanglement produced by a local potential interaction in a bipartite system is investigated. The degree of entanglement is contrasted with the underlying classical dynamics for a Rydberg molecule (a charged particle colliding on a kicked top). Entanglement is seen to depend on the structure of classical phase-space rather than on the global dynamical regime. As a consequence regular classical dynamics can in certain circumstances be associated with higher entanglement generation than chaotic dynamics. In addition quantum effects also come into play: for example partial revivals, which are expected to persist in the semiclassical limit, affect the long time behaviour of the reduced linear entropy. These results suggest that entanglement may not be a pertinent universal signature of chaos.

description: We present results of high-resolution radio continuum observations towards the binary star WR 21a (Wack 2134) obtained with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at 4.8 and 8.64 GHz. We detected the system at 4.8 GHz (6 cm) with a flux density of 0.25+-0.06 mJy and set an upper limit of 0.3 mJy at 8.64 GHz (3 cm). The derived spectral index of alpha < 0.3 [S(nu)=k.nu**(alpha)] suggests the presence of non-thermal emission, probably originating in a colliding-wind region. A second, unrelated radio source was detected ~10" north of WR 21a at (RA, Dec)(J2000)=(10h 25m 56.49, -57deg 48' 34.4", with flux densities of 0.36 and 0.55 mJy at 4.8 and 8.64 GHz, respectively, resulting in alpha = 0.72. HI observations in the area are dominated by absorption against the prominent HII region RCW 49. Analysis of a complete set of archived X-ray observations of WR 21a confirms its strong variability but throws into doubt previous suggestions by Reig (1999) of a period of years for the system. Finally, we comment on the association with the nearby EGRET source 3EG J1027-5817.

description: We perform model calculations for a stretched LiF molecule, demonstrating that nonadiabatic charge transfer effects can be accurately and seamlessly described within a density functional framework. In alkali halides like LiF, there is an abrupt change in the ground state electronic distribution due to an electron transfer at a critical bond length $R=R_c$, where a barely avoided crossing of the lowest adiabatic potential energy surfaces calls the validity of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation into doubt. Modeling the $R$-dependent electronic structure of LiF within a two-site Hubbard model, we find that nonadiabatic electron-nuclear coupling produces a sizable elongation of the critical $R_c$ by 0.5 Bohr. This effect is very accurately captured by a simple and rigorously-derived correction, with an $M^{-1}$ prefactor, to the exchange-correlation potential in density functional theory; $M=$ reduced nuclear mass. Since this nonadiabatic term depends on gradients of the nuclear wavefunction and conditional electronic density, $\nabla_R χ(R)$ and $\nabla_R n(\mathbf{r},R)$, it couples the Kohn-Sham equations at neighboring $R$ points. Motivated by an observed localization of nonadiabatic effects in nuclear configuration space, we propose a local conditional density approximation -- an approximation that reduces the search for nonadiabatic density functionals to the search for a single function $y(n)$.

description: New hydrogel-based micropressure sensor arrays for use in the fields of chemical sensing, physiological monitoring, and medical diagnostics are developed and demonstrated. This sensor technology provides reliable, linear, and accurate measurements of hydrogel swelling pressures, a function of ambient chemical concentrations. For the first time, perforations were implemented into the pressure sensors piezoresistive diaphragms, used to simultaneously increase sensor sensitivity and permit diffusion of analytes into the hydrogel cavity. It was shown through analytical and numerical (finite element) methods that pore shape, location, and size can be used to modify the diaphragm mechanics and concentrate stress within the piezoresistors, thus improving electrical output (sensitivity). An optimized pore pattern was chosen based on these numerical calculations. Fabrication was performed using a 14-step semiconductor fabrication process implementing a combination of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) to create perforations. The sensor arrays (2×2) measure approximately 3 × 5 mm2 and used to measure full scale pressures of 50, 25, and 5 kPa, respectively. These specifications were defined by the various swelling pressures of ionic strength, pH and glucose specific hydrogels that were targeted in this work. Initial characterization of the sensor arrays was performed using a custom built bulge testing apparatus that simultaneously measured deflection (optical profilometry), pressure, and electrical output. The new perforated diaphragm sensors were found to be fully functional with sensitivities ranging from 23 to 252 μV/V-kPa with full scale output (FSO) ranging from 5 to 80 mV. To demonstrate proof of concept, hydrogels sensitive to changes in ionic strength were synthesized using hydroxypropyl-methacrylate (HPMA), N,N-dimethylaminoethyl-methacrylate (DMA) and a tetra-ethyleneglycol-dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) crosslinker. This hydrogel quickly and reversibly swells when placed environments of physiological buffer solutions (PBS) with ionic strengths ranging from 0.025 to 0.15 M. Chemical testing showed sensors with perforated diaphragms have higher sensitivity than those with solid diaphragms, and sensitivities ranging from 53.3±6.5 to 271.47±27.53 mV/V-M, depending on diaphragm size. Additionally, recent experiments show sensors utilizing Ultra Violet (UV) polymerized glucose sensitive hydrogels respond reversibly to physiologically relevant glucose concentrations from 0 to 20 mM.

description: Active transport of cargoes is critical for cellular function. To accomplish this, networks of cytoskeletal filaments form highways along which small teams of mechanochemical enzymes (molecular motors) take steps to pull associated cargoes. The robustness of this transport system is juxtaposed by the stochasticity that exists at several spatial and temporal scales. For instance, individual motors stochastically step, bind, and unbind while the cargo undergoes nonnegligible thermal fluctuations. Experimental advances have produced rich quantitative measurements of each of these stochastic elements, but the interaction between them remains elusive. In this thesis, we explore the roles of stochasticity in motor-mediated transport with four specific projects at different scales. We first construct a mean-field model of a cargo transported by two teams of opposing motors. This system is known to display bidirectionality: switching between phases of transport in opposite directions. We hypothesize that thermal fluctuations of the cargo drive the switching. From our model, we predict how cargo size influences the switching time, an experimentally measurable quantity to verify the hypothesis. In the second work, we investigate the force dependence of motor stepping, formulated as a state-dependent jump-diffusion model. We prove general results regarding the computation of the statistics of this process. From this framework, we find that thermal fluctuations may provide a nonmonotonic influence on the stepping rate of motors. The remaining projects investigate the behavior of nonprocessive motors, which take few steps before detaching. In collaboration with experimentalists, we study seemingly diffusive data of motor-mediated transport. Using a jump-diffusion model, the active and passive portions of the diffusivity are disentangled, and curious higher order statistics are explained as a sampling issue. Lastly, we construct a model of cooperative transport by nonprocessive motors, which we study using reward-renewal theory. The theory provides predictions about measured quantities such as run length, which suggest that geometric effects have a large influence on the transport ability of these motors.

description: Testudines or Chelonii   Different opinions exist on whether Testudines (e.g. Fritz and Havas 2007; Rhodin et al. 2008) or Chelonii (e.g. Bour and Dubois 1985) should be used to refer to the the order of turtles, tortoises and terrapins.
 Spinks and Shaffer (2009) performed a phylogenetic study of the genus Emys based on multiple genes, both mtDNA and nuclear. There is generally no reciprocal monophyly between Emys orbicularis (European Pond Terrapin) and E. trinacris (Sicilian Pond Terrapin) in their trees based on nuclear genes, providing additional substantiation for rejection of the latter taxon at species level (Speybroeck and Crochet 2007).
 Fritz et al. (2009) investigated the mitochondrial phylogeography of the Spur-thighed Tortoise (Testudo graeca) from the western parts of the Mediterranean, and recognised T. g. nabeulensis as a valid subspecies for the Tunisian populations, with Sardinian and Sicilian animals belonging to this taxon. In this arrangement, Majorcan and Spanish populations remain treated as T. g. graeca.

description: Some evidence supports the development of holistic interventions that address the overlap between obesity and depression, the both of which have increased burden among women in marginalized communities. Additional understanding about the interrelationships between obesity, health behaviors, and depression could improve the effectiveness of interventions and promote both obesity- and depression-related wellness. Objectives: 1) Evaluate the competency of wellness coaches in utilizing motivational interviewing and its impact on participant factors. 2) Assess how intensity of wellness coaching, fruit/vegetable consumption, and physical activity behaviors are associated with improved depression screen over 12 months. 3) Assess how fruit/vegetable consumption, physical activity behaviors, and depressive symptoms are associated with clinically significant improvements in adiposity over 12 months. Methods: The University of Utah, Utah Department of Health, and African American, African immigrant, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and Pacific Islander communities partnered to develop and conduct a randomized trial of wellness coaching for women. Health behavior change was the primary target, but a comprehensive paradigm enabled evaluation of relationships between health behaviors and both obesity-related factors and depression. Wellness coaches from each community recruited women (n = 485) who were randomized to high- versus low-intensity coaching. Generalized estimating equations were used to assess interrelationships (odds ratios) between repeated measurements of health behaviors, depressive symptoms, and ≥5% reductions in baseline body weight and waist circumference. Results: Baseline coach empathy was associated with participant completion of 4-month session. Depression prevalence decreased from 21.7% to 9.5% over 12 months. Women consuming fruits/vegetables ≥5 times per day (versus <5) or any physical activity (vs. none) each had higher odds of improved depression screen, especially when women ≥55 years of age consumed more fruits/vegetables. Overweight/obese women who consumed fruits/vegetables ≥5 times/day (vs. <5) had higher odds of losing ≥5% body weight, while more physical activity (vs. <2.5 hours/week) had higher odds only among those with a positive depression screen. Furthermore, at-risk women with a negative depression screen (vs. positive) had higher odds of ≥5% decrease in waist circumference. Conclusion: Health behaviors/outcomes that are considered in a holistic, culturally relevant context could improve wellness and health equities.

description: A particularly promising pathway to enhance the efficiency of thermoelectric materials lies in the use of resonant states, as suggested by experimentalists and theorists alike. In this paper, we go over the mechanisms used in the literature to explain how resonant levels affect the thermoelectric properties, and we suggest that the effects of hybridization are crucial yet ill-understood. In order to get a good grasp of the physical picture and to draw guidelines for thermoelectric enhancement, we use a tight-binding model containing a conduction band hybridized with a flat band. We find that the conductivity is suppressed in a wide energy range near the resonance, but that the Seebeck coefficient can be boosted for strong enough hybridization, thus allowing for a significant increase of the power factor. The Seebeck coefficient can also display a sign change as the Fermi level crosses the resonance. Our results suggest that in order to boost the power factor, the hybridization strength must not be too low, the resonant level must not be too close to the conduction (or valence) band edge, and the Fermi level must be located around, but not inside, the resonant peak.

description: We find a general p-1-brane solution to supergravity coupled to a p+1-form field strength using the ``standard ansatz'' for the fields. In addition to the well-known elementary and solitonic p-1-brane solutions, which are the only ones preserving half of the supersymmetry (for the cases where the supersymmetry transformations are known), there are other possibilities, the most interesting of which is an elementary type~I string solution with a non-dynamical string source and no conserved charge.

description: A method is developed to generate bank-full river main channel geometry, to complement an open-source Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and produce a calibrated hydraulic model reproducing the extent of historically observed overbank flooding. This approach relies on limited surveyed cross section and flow rate information and is potentially suitable for projects in developing countries where the availability of measured data is limited. The method presented is applied to the case of the seasonal flooding of the Baro River in the Gambela floodplain in Ethiopia, modelled with a two-dimensional hydraulic model. The simulated flooding extent for the 1990 wet season is compared with the observed flooding from 1990 satellite imagery and the expected flow interaction patterns with the near Alwero River, showing good agreement. The calibrated model is also used to show the impact of the planned TAMS hydropower dam on the Baro River flooding.
