description: Upcoming neutrino telescopes promise a new window onto the interactions of neutrinos with matter at ultrahigh energies ($E_ν= 10^7$-$10^{10}$ GeV), and the possibility to detect deviations from the Standard Model predictions. In this paper, we update previous predictions for the enhancement of the neutrino-nucleon cross-section for motivated leptoquark models and show the latest neutrino physics bound, as well as analyse the latest LHC pair production and Drell-Yan data, and flavour constraints (some of which were previously missed). We find that, despite the next generation of neutrino experiments probing the highest energies, they will not be enough to be competitive with collider searches.

description: We show that it is possible to improve the infrared aspects of the standard treatment of the DGLAP evolution theory to take into account a large class of higher order corrections that significantly improve the precision of the theory for any given level of fixed-order calculation of its respective kernels. We illustrate the size of the effects we resum using the moments of the parton distributions.

Correlation of Female Trinidadians, Bermudians, Sri-Lankans' Feminist Identity Development, and Self-Esteem: Reflection of Social Role Theory
Creators: name: Bissessar, Charmaine
Publisher: name: Advancing Women in Leadership Journal
Year: 2017

description: Self-esteem and feminist identity development share symbiotic dyads. Agentic and communal characteristics shape females' identity and determine whether they see themselves as products or producers of their social system and display descriptive and/ or injunctive or prescriptive patterns of behavior. The aforementioned theoretical frameworks form the backdrop for my research which involved 40 Trinidadians, 20 Bermudians, and 38 Sri Lankans females ages 18 to 64. In my quantitative methodology study, I incorporated the Feminist Identity Development Scale (FIDS, Bargad & Hyde, 1991) and Rosenberg's (1965) Self-Esteem Model (RSE) to determine whether or not there was a significant correlation between Trinidadian and Bermudian females' self-esteem and feminist identity development. Descriptive statistics implementing a correlation matrix with the use of Mega Stats Add-Ins with Microsoft Excel determined that no significant correlation existed between Trinidadian and Bermudian female participants for their RSE and FIDS respectively. Additionally, one way ANOVA tests showed the correlation: (a) within sample group- Trinidadian females with no significant correlation between their FIDS and RSE; (b) within sample group- Afro and Indo- Trinidadians there was no significant correlation of RSE and a slight positive correlation of .0467 between participants' subscales of FIDS; (c) within sample group- there was no significant correlation between Bermudian participants' RSE but a significant negative correlation between subscales of FIDS; (d) within sample group- Sri Lankan females showed a significant negative correlation between subscales of FIDS; (e) among sample groups- Bermudian, Sri Lankan, and Trinidadian females there was a significant negative correlation among their RSE and no significant correlation of their FIDS. The findings corroborate other conclusions on FIDS and RSE and the social role theory.

description: A massive astrophysical object deforms a local distribution of dark matter, resulting in a local overdensity of dark matter. This phenomenon is often referred to as gravitational focusing. In the solar system, the gravitational focusing due to the Sun induces modulations of dark matter signals on terrestrial experiments. We consider the gravitational focusing of a light bosonic dark matter with a mass of less than about 10 eV. The wave nature of such dark matter candidates leads to unique signatures both in the local overdensity and in the spectrum, both of which can be experimentally relevant. We provide a formalism that captures both the gravitational focusing and the stochasticity of wave dark matter, paying particular attention to the similarity and difference to particle dark matter. Distinctive patterns in the density contrast and spectrum are observed when the de Broglie wavelength of dark matter becomes comparable or less than the size of the system and/or when the velocity dispersion of dark matter is sufficiently small. While gravitational focusing effects generally remain at a few percent level for a relaxed halo dark matter component, they could be much larger for dark matter substructures. With a few well-motivated dark matter substructures, we investigate how each substructure responds to the gravitational potential of the Sun. The limit at which wave dark matter behaves similar to particle dark matter is also discussed.
How to Train your Quadrotor: A Framework for Consistently Smooth and Responsive Flight Control via Reinforcement Learning

description: We focus on the problem of reliably training Reinforcement Learning (RL) models (agents) for stable low-level control in embedded systems and test our methods on a high-performance, custom-built quadrotor platform. A common but often under-studied problem in developing RL agents for continuous control is that the control policies developed are not always smooth. This lack of smoothness can be a major problem when learning controllers %intended for deployment on real hardware as it can result in control instability and hardware failure. Issues of noisy control are further accentuated when training RL agents in simulation due to simulators ultimately being imperfect representations of reality - what is known as the reality gap. To combat issues of instability in RL agents, we propose a systematic framework, `REinforcement-based transferable Agents through Learning' (RE+AL), for designing simulated training environments which preserve the quality of trained agents when transferred to real platforms. RE+AL is an evolution of the Neuroflight infrastructure detailed in technical reports prepared by members of our research group. Neuroflight is a state-of-the-art framework for training RL agents for low-level attitude control. RE+AL improves and completes Neuroflight by solving a number of important limitations that hindered the deployment of Neuroflight to real hardware. We benchmark RE+AL on the NF1 racing quadrotor developed as part of Neuroflight. We demonstrate that RE+AL significantly mitigates the previously observed issues of smoothness in RL agents. Additionally, RE+AL is shown to consistently train agents that are flight-capable and with minimal degradation in controller quality upon transfer. RE+AL agents also learn to perform better than a tuned PID controller, with better tracking errors, smoother control and reduced power consumption.

Lobban et al. (2012) reported A. complexa (Gregory) Cleve from Guam, but J.S. Park et al. (2018) noted that the valve size and stria density of the voucher specimens match Auricula densistriata K. Osada (Osada 1997). Stria density for A. complexa is 15–20 in 10 µm (Peragallo & Peragallo 1897 – 1908), but Lobban et al. reported 26–28 in 10 µm. In SEM (Figs 8, 9) we measured 27 striae. Auricula complexa species was correctly reported from Federated States of Micronesia — Yap by Navarro & Lobban (2009) and Chuuk by Park et al. (2022) —and may well be present in Guam but we have no evidence of it, so for now remove it from the flora.

Year: 2017

description: This article investigates the journeys of two first-year female superintendents. A qualitative descriptive analysis of the superintendents' journals reveals not only how their experiences differed, but what factors contributed to a more positive or negative first year as a superintendent: (a) the superintendents' relationship with their school board; (b) their ability to network within the school community; and (c) the school district's willingness to change. This article provides insights into how different professional environments can help or challenge a new superintendent, as well as recommendations for maneuvering through these environments.

Improved envelope and emittance description of particle beams using the Fokker-Planck approach
Creators: name: Struckmeier, Jürgen
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Accelerator Physics (physics.acc-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Beam dynamics calculations that are based on the Vlasov equation do not permit the the treatment of stochastic phenomena such as intra-beam scattering. If the nature of the stochastic process can be regarded as a Markov process, we are allowed to use the Fokker-Planck equation to describe the change of the phase space volume the beam occupies. From the Fokker-Planck equation we derive equations of motion for the beam envelopes and for the rms-emittances. Compared to previous approaches based on Liouville's theorem, these equations contain additional terms that describe the temperature balancing within the beam. Our formalism is applied to the effect of intra-beam scattering relevant for beams circulating in storage rings near thermodynamical equilibrium. In this case, the Fokker-Planck coefficients can be treated as adiabatic constants of motion. Due to the simplified analysis based on `beam moments', we obtain fairly simple equations that allow us to estimate the growth rate of the beam emittance.

Diagnostics: Colonial, as in B. paxillifera, the “slide rule” diatom, but inflated in the middle. Uniseriate striae with external costae.
Comment: As noted by Lobban et al. (2012) for the nominate form, marine forms were orphaned when Jahn & Schmid (2007) redefined B. paxillifera as freshwater/brackish, naming several new species, but excluding three marine groups distinguished by Schmid (2007). Our assignment of this variety to Group B, based on the nominate form, has not been verified and remains in limbo until Jahn completes her analysis. The short cristae at the central area are characteristic but we have images of specimens without them and without costae; further progress awaits completion of work on this group.

description: The impact of online social media on societal events and institutions is profound; and with the rapid increases in user uptake, we are just starting to understand its ramifications. Social scientists and practitioners who model online discourse as a proxy for real-world behavior, often curate large social media datasets. A lack of available tooling aimed at non-data science experts frequently leaves this data (and the insights it holds) underutilized. Here, we propose birdspotter -- a tool to analyze and label Twitter users --, and birdspotter.ml -- an exploratory visualizer for the computed metrics. birdspotter provides an end-to-end analysis pipeline, from the processing of pre-collected Twitter data, to general-purpose labeling of users, and estimating their social influence, within a few lines of code. The package features tutorials and detailed documentation. We also illustrate how to train birdspotter into a fully-fledged bot detector that achieves better than state-of-the-art performances without making any Twitter API online calls, and we showcase its usage in an exploratory analysis of a topical COVID-19 dataset.

These are a sub-set of the observations that comprise the Spitzer Legacy science program entitled the Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems (FEPS). Using IRAC we study the fraction of young stars that exhibit 3.6-8.0 micron infrared emission in excess of that expected from the stellar photosphere, as a function of age from 3-30 Myr. The most straightforward interpretation of such excess emission is the presence of hot (300-1000K) dust in the inner regions (< 3 AU) of a circumstellar disk. Five out of the 74 young stars show a strong infrared excess, four of which have estimated ages of 3-10 Myr. While we detect excesses from 5 optically thick disks, and photospheric emission from the remainder of our sample, we do not detect any excess emission from optically thin disks at these wavelengths. We compare our results with accretion disk fractions detected in previous studies, and use the ensemble results to place additional constraints on the dissipation timescales for optically-thick, primordial disks.

Samples: GU52O-4
Dimensions: Length 46–74 µm, width of valve 9 µm, width of frustule in girdle view 24 µm; striae 7 in 10 µm
Diagnostics: Amphora -like frustule, asymmetrical (Figs 32, 35). Valve asymmetrical (Figs 34, 36), lanceolate, with short, broad striae along each margin and the raphe strongly displaced to the “ventral” striae, leaving strongly asymmetrical axial area. Striae alveolate (Fig. 37).
Comments: This species is similar in size and stria density to Biremis ambigua (see above), but that species is symmetrical. The relatively large frustules are shaped like Amphora arenaria Donkin, with which it co-occurred in this sample from calcareous sand, but the striae are very distinctive. Round et al. (1990) described the areolae in this genus as consisting of two incompletely separated chambers, closed internally by a cribrum, and opening externally by slit-like foramina, one at each end of the areola, resulting in two longitudinal lines that are the most evident feature in external SEM views. Witkowski et al. (2000) mention this species being reported only from South Africa and the North Sea (Europe), populations for which there is no SEM yet; a comparison needs to be made to confirm the identity of the Guam specimens.

Using this approach, we demonstrate that phonons with the largest optomechanical couplings, also have the strongest degree of anharmonicity among the zone-centered modes, a result of the broken symmetry structural ground state of Bi and Sb. We show how this anharmonicity, explaining the light-induced phonon softening observed in experiments, prevents the application of standard phonon-amplification and annihilation protocols. We introduce a simple linearization protocol that extends the use of such protocols to the case of anharmonic phonons in broken symmetry materials, and demonstrate its efficiency at high displacement amplitudes. Our formalism and results provide a path for improving optical control in non-linear phononics.

description: Scholars have focused their attention on the careers of women working in management positions in several sport industry segments, however, limited research has focused on careers of women working in intercollegiate athletic administration. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine career information of women working in the administration of intercollegiate athletics. The study addressed the following amongst women working in intercollegiate athletic administration: (a) demographics, (b) career paths, (c) most/least enjoyable aspects of their jobs, (d) greatest challenges, (e) career advice, and (f) short-term and long-term career aspirations. This descriptive study provided insight for women wanting to explore a career within intercollegiate athletic administration. The information is useful for both women and men working in intercollegiate athletic administration and to the NCAA organization in support of its ongoing work to promote diversity in leadership positions. In addition, women wishing to pursue a career in intercollegiate athletics face a number of challenges, but acknowledging the voices of the women within this study can begin to explain some of the steps needed to maximize women's contributions to this field. Finally, this study contributes to the body of knowledge in the sport management literature in intercollegiate athletics.

description: Dynamic Uncertain Causality Graph(DUCG) is a recently proposed model for diagnoses of complex systems. It performs well for industry system such as nuclear power plants, chemical system and spacecrafts. However, the variable state combination explosion in some cases is still a problem that may result in inefficiency or even disability in DUCG inference. In the situation of clinical diagnoses, when a lot of intermediate causes are unknown while the downstream results are known in a DUCG graph, the combination explosion may appear during the inference computation. Monte Carlo sampling is a typical algorithm to solve this problem. However, we are facing the case that the occurrence rate of the case is very small, e.g. $10^{-20}$, which means a huge number of samplings are needed. This paper proposes a new scheme based on conditional stochastic simulation which obtains the final result from the expectation of the conditional probability in sampling loops instead of counting the sampling frequency, and thus overcomes the problem. As a result, the proposed algorithm requires much less time than the DUCG recursive inference algorithm presented earlier. Moreover, a simple analysis of convergence rate based on a designed example is given to show the advantage of the proposed method. % In addition, supports for logic gate, logic cycles, and parallelization, which exist in DUCG, are also addressed in this paper. The new algorithm reduces the time consumption a lot and performs 3 times faster than old one with 2.7% error ratio in a practical graph for Viral Hepatitis B.

description: Women keep gaining ground in the world of American politics. There are more women senators, representatives, Supreme Court justices, secretaries of state and governors than ever. Still, America has never had a female president or even vice president. By examining the communication skills of women who have run for president we can begin to assess how a woman creates ethos for the presidency. This study focuses on an understudied genre of campaign speaking; a comparison of two high profile female candidates' announcement speeches from both respective political parties. How a woman reveals that she is a candidate for president is key to her success. The presidential announcements of Elizabeth Dole and Hillary Clinton are examined to consider what introductory communication traits may best serve the next woman who attempts to break the largest and seemingly toughest glass ceiling: the United States presidency

description: We consider the solution to a stochastic heat equation. This solution is a random function of time and space. For a fixed point in space, the resulting random function of time, $F(t)$, has a nontrivial quartic variation. This process, therefore, has infinite quadratic variation and is not a semimartingale. It follows that the classical Itô calculus does not apply. Motivated by heuristic ideas about a possible new calculus for this process, we are led to study modifications of the quadratic variation. Namely, we modify each term in the sum of the squares of the increments so that it has mean zero. We then show that these sums, as functions of $t$, converge weakly to Brownian motion.

description: Recently, Digitized-Counterdiabatic (CD) Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) has been proposed to make QAOA converge to the solution of an optimization problem in fewer steps, inspired by Trotterized counterdiabatic driving in continuous-time quantum annealing. In this paper, we critically revisit this approach by focusing on the paradigmatic weighted and unweighted one-dimensional MaxCut problem. We study two variants of QAOA with first and second-order CD corrections. Our results show that, indeed, higher order CD corrections allow for a quicker convergence to the exact solution of the problem at hand by increasing the complexity of the variational cost function. Remarkably, however, the total number of free parameters needed to achieve this result is independent of the particular QAOA variant analyzed.

Ref. illus.: Hustedt 1927 –1930, p. 388, fig. 200b
Samples: GU52O-4, inter alia
Dimensions: Diam. 27–30 µm, stria density at margin 21-22 in 10 µm.
Diagnosis: Ring of short striae surrounding flat central zone with or without short spines.
Comments: The stria density given by Hustedt is ca. 18 in 10 µm. Hein et al. (2008, p. 18, pl. 2, fig. 2) reported C. hauckii var. mesoleia, which has a clear center, with 28 striae in 10 µm. It is not clear from Hustedt’s text about the nominate variety whether he thought the unregelmässig punktiertem Mittelfeld was perforated, because he also used punktiert in reference to the short striae. The variety may not be justified, given that the difference in the central zone of the nominate variety comprises only small papillae, and there is only a slight difference in stria densities between the forms (20 in the variety). Our stria density is higher, and Hein et al.’s still higher. Our SEM shows that this species lacks rimoportulae, so it does not belong in Coscinodiscus (see Round et al. 1990).

description: The elliptic flow ($v_2$) of $\rm D^0$ mesons from beauty-hadron decays (non-prompt $\rm D^0$) was measured in midcentral (30-50%) Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The $\rm D^0$ mesons were reconstructed at midrapidity ($|y|<0.8$) from their hadronic decay $\mathrm{D^0 \to K^-π^+}$, in the transverse momentum interval $2 < p_{\rm T} < 12$ GeV/$c$. The result indicates a positive $v_2$ for non-prompt $\rm D^0$ mesons with a significance of 2.7$σ$. The non-prompt $\rm D^0$-meson $v_2$ is lower than that of prompt non-strange D mesons with 3.2$σ$ significance in $2 < p_{\rm T} < 8$ GeV/$c$, and compatible with the $v_2$ of beauty-decay electrons. Theoretical calculations of beauty-quark transport in a hydrodynamically expanding medium describe the measurement within uncertainties.

description: Various versions of the Seven Sages of Rome, a collection of medieval stories, were produced throughout Europe and the Near East during the Middle Ages and early modern period. The main objective of this project is to incite reflection about the connectedness of the medieval literary world, by visualizing the diffusion of texts across time and space. The first aim of this project was to collect information regarding the extant copies of the Seven Sages of Rome by completing the information about manuscripts and prints available on the online Arlima literary Archive with further research into other sources. The collected information was digitally organised, before being used to produce visualizations (graphs displaying in which languages the prints and manuscripts were produced, as well as static and timelapse maps) which reflect how texts of the Seven Sages of Rome were transmitted. Finally, the visual information was made accessible through a website, which any interested user can use as a tool to download the collected information, bring modifications to it, and produce new updated visualizations.
A data-driven method for computing polyhedral invariant sets of black-box switched linear systems

description: In this paper, we consider the problem of invariant set computation for black-box switched linear systems using merely a finite set of observations of system trajectories. In particular, this paper focuses on polyhedral invariant sets. We propose a data-driven method based on the one step forward reachable set. For formal verification of the proposed method, we introduce the concepts of $λ$-contractive sets and almost-invariant sets for switched linear systems. The convexity-preserving property of switched linear systems allows us to conduct contraction analysis on the computed set and derive a probabilistic contraction property. In the spirit of non-convex scenario optimization, we also establish a chance-constrained guarantee on set invariance. The performance of our method is then illustrated by numerical examples.

Thickness Design Procedure for Portland Cement Concrete Pavements
Creators: name: Southgate, Herbert F.

Publisher: name: Kentucky Transportation Center, University of Kentucky
Year: 1984
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: Past experience in Kentucky indicated that thickness designs using portland cement concrete best agreed with criterion used in the Portland Cement Association's design method for 2 or 3 million EAL's or less. For EAL's greater than 3 million, past experience best agreed with criterion developed from the AASHO Road Test.  Research reported herein indicates the two criteria become asymptotic at approximately 2.5 million EAL's. The merger of the criteria is presented, and the combined criterion is coupled with the principal of equal work as defined in classical physics to produce thickness design curves for portland cement concrete pavements. Research has indicated that a general conic equation can be used to satisfactorily estimate the work, as calculated by the Chevron N-layered program, at the bottom of the portland cement concrete slab under an 18-kip single axleload. The transition from a tensile strain to a work criterion is presented.  The thickness of portland cement concrete varied up to a maximum of approximately 0.15 inch for the same CBR and design EAL when the thickness of crushed-stone base was varied from 3 to 6 inches. Therefore, the design thickness of the portland cement concrete slab is relatively insensitive to changes in thickness of the crushed-stone base. Resulting thickness design curves are presented for a concrete elastic modulus of 4.2 million psi (typical of Kentucky conditions).
The Effect of Stereotype Threat on the Interview Performance of Women

description: When women are in a situation whereby they are at risk of being judged by a negative stereotype, they underperform relative to men. This quandary is called stereotype threat. The present study examined whether stereotype threat affects the performance of men versus women in a simulated job interview. The stereotype that women are not suitable for managerial jobs was unobtrusively embedded in a job description presented to interviewees (n = 50) prior to the interview. The interviews were evaluated by four HR managers, two male and two female. The results showed that stereotype threat disadvantages females vis- -vis those in the control group, and it disadvantaged them relative to men in the stereotype threat condition. This occurred regardless of whether the HR manager was male or female

Samples: GU50D, GU52U-1
Dimensions: 35–40 µm long, 4–5 µm wide, 40 biseriate striae in 10 µm.
Diagnostics: Apex rounded; sternum lanceolate, narrow; ocellulimbus 6–8 pores wide.
Comments: This species is separated from H. prasadii by the dimensions according to the key in Sabir et al. (2018). Like that species, it has a lanceolate sternum, in contrast to other species in which the sternum is linear. The images published by Navarro & Lobban (2009) can be better identified as Sabir & Theriot’s new species, although the stria density is higher than their specimens. Hyalosynedra prasadii, or something like it, has also been noted in a few samples, but both species were scarce and detailed comparison with Red Sea and Florida species is not yet possible and, because of the fine discriminations needed, it is possible that these species are regional endemics and that our western Pacific species are different. We make this provisional record now only to point out that the record in Navarro & Lobbban (2009) is not H. laevigata. This genus needs more detailed study in our region but H. laevigata is present in our flora, see below.
