TESS Experiments: Campaigning with Class: The Impact of Candidate Class Background and Current Socio-Economic Achievement on Voters’ Evaluations
Creators: name: Sadin, Meredith
Publisher: name: Roper Center for Public Opinion Research
Year: 2022

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to determine the extent to which voters weigh a political candidate’s background against his or her level of achievement. Respondents were asked to read a short biography of a fictional congressional candidate named Ron Campbell. These biographies included two manipulations, background and achievement, and each manipulation had three levels - working class, elite and control - for a total of six experimental and three control conditions and 1721 respondents. The candidate’s background was illustrated by Campbell’s father’s occupation and high school experience and his achievement was reflected in his college education and current occupation. Respondents were then asked to rate their feelings about Campbell and their likelihood of voting for him. This allowed for comparison between the relative advantage of an elite versus working class candidate, as well as whether this categorization was more significant in his or her background or career achievements.

description: : Nicolas Peyraud presents the Vacci-app, an android application that provides offline data collection, on-device activity report and storage of anonymous data. A multi-antigen vaccination campaign was started in the Kadei prefecture, Central African Republic and involved 50,000 children in three rounds (Dec 2015, Feb 2016 and Apr 2016). Nicolas describes the mixed method feasibility study used to assess implementation, acceptability and efficacy of the Vacci-app, and outlines the results. App usability scores were higher than 70%, no technical problems were encountered and provided appropriateness of vaccination prescriptions. The Vacci-app is currently used in the third round of the campaign, but can definitely be adapted in other vaccination campaigns.

description: Durch pulverbasiertes Directed-Energy Deposition lassen sich Gradierungen fertigen, um diskrete Materialübergänge zu vermeiden und die Lebensdauer von Hartschichten zu erhöhen. Die Kombination aus Stahl als Basiswerkstoff und einer verschleiß- und korrosionsbeständigen Co-Cr Legierung verspricht durch Vermeiden von Spannungskonzentrationen das Verhindern von Abplatzungen und Rissen in der Schutzschicht. Um die Qualität des gefertigten Bauteils zu beurteilen, liegen für solche Funktional Gradierten Materialien (FGM) wenig Erkenntnisse vor. Daher wird im Rahmen dieser Studie eine Methodik erarbeitet, um die relative Dichte eines Funktional Gradierten Materials auf Stahl und Co-Cr Basis mittels Maschinendaten zu bestimmen. Anschließend wird unter Einsatz eines künstlichen neuronalen Netzes anhand von Sensordaten die relative Dichte vorhergesagt. Das trainierte Netz erreicht eine Vorhersagegenauigkeiten von 99,83%. Abschließend wird eine Anwendung anhand von einem Demonstrator gezeigt.

description: In her presentation, Clotilde Rambaud-Althaus describes MSFeCARE, an electronic algorithm designed to improve management of childhood illnesses in primary health care, and assesses acceptability and implementation of MSFeCARE in primary care facilities supported by MSF. The final goal of using this algorithm is to improve the quality of care and rational use of antibiotics in children aged from 2 months to 5 years affected by acute illnesses, providing an unambiguous step-by-step procedure to assess, classify and treat illnesses. The quasi-experimental pre-post test study was carried out in Geti, Democratic Republic of Congo. These slides highlight how MSFeCARE has the potential to improve thoroughness of clinical assessment and to reduce antibiotic prescription, is appropriate to clinical field realities and is technically feasible in the locations tested.

This work was also presented by Anna Righetti from MSF Switzerland during the MSF Scientific Day Southern Africa.

description: The agriculture and food industry is characterized by highly interconnected value chains, both at a local and global level. If nothing else, the coronavirus crisis demonstrated that resilience to all types of disruption offers a key competitive advantage. Resilient value chains in the agriculture and food industry are not only characterized by food and its intermediate products being available quickly again following a disruption but, above all, by the safety of food products. Assessing resilience in the agriculture and food industry must therefore include food safety, with its complex effects on the supply chain and on production in particular. Ensuring that food safety and supplying the population are systemic tasks subject to complex influences. Supplying basic foodstuffs relies on volatile, globally interconnected networks with complex material flows and supply chains. Research and discussions with companies and professional associations revealed industry-wide pressure to act to improve resilience in food production, and to do so primarily against a background of more and more frequent crisis situations and an increasing scarcity of resources. At production level, networking food manufacturing systems increases resilience. At individual system level, the implementation and systematic assessment of sensors may significantly improve transparency about potential technical incidents or impairments of the food quality. Such incidents may, for example, occur as a result of impairing the ecosystem of crops. Identifying predictable and unpredictable negative effects as much as possible improves the decision-making ability of the system, and is a prerequisite for the adaptive self-regulation of production and processing systems. Both use cases, "Vertical Farming" at Fraunhofer IME and "New Vegetable Oil Mills" at Fraunhofer IVV, show the successful application of resilient system architecture for both technical resilience and ecosystem resilience. A digital shadow was designed for both use cases, based on potential incidents, to determine the influencing variables and product quality variables. Undertaking digital transformation and equipping the vertical farming facility OrbiPlant® with suitable sensors enabled technical incidents and impairments of the ecosystem to be simulated and then identified and detected in real time as a result of greater data transparency. The demonstrably increased resilience maturity of the production facility may make an important contribution to safeguarding the supply of safe, high-quality food in the future.

description: Here Rob Marr describes EMR-E, Electronic Medical Record for Emergency, a variety of tools ranging from weekly reporting to aggregate data to replacing patient notes at the clinic or bedside. This app was firstly developed for the Ebola crisis, for use in remote locations and was then repurposed for emergencies. Rob’s role was to evaluate the EMR-E technology against key operational criteria and to determine the readiness for deployment in emergencies. His work shows that EMR-E is technically feasible, has innovative features for offline working and has a very attractive user interface. However, it still needs to be carefully tested before deployment and use in humanitarian settings.

description: The decomposition of a square matrix into a sum of Pauli strings is a classical pre-processing step required to realize many quantum algorithms. Such a decomposition requires significant computational resources for large matrices. We present an exact and explicit formula for the Pauli string coefficients which inspires an efficient algorithm to compute them. More specifically, we show that up to a permutation of the matrix elements, the decomposition coefficients are related to the original matrix by a multiplication of a generalised Hadamard matrix. This allows one to use the Fast Walsh-Hadamard transform and calculate all Pauli decomposition coefficients in $\mathcal{O}(N^2\log N)$ time and using $\mathcal{O}(1)$ additional memory, for an $N\times N$ matrix. A numerical implementation of our equation outperforms currently available solutions.

description: The transition of the quantum mechanics realm into engineering applications is opening up a large number of disruptive quantum technological opportunities. Their success relies on the recent technological advancements, which enable the controlled creation of individual quantum mechanical systems as well as their direct manipulation and measurement. Quantum technological systems purposefully exploit principles of quantum mechanics that are not encountered in everyday experience. For example, a quantum system can exist in two or more different states simultaneously, with the indeterminacy only being removed by a measurement (superposition principle). In this way, quantum mechanics furthermore allows a strong non-local correlation (entanglement) of system components, which is quintessential for many applications.
Strain Localization and Bulk Rheology Variation in Partially Molten Rocks: Insight from Analogue Model Experiments of Polyphase Materials.
Creators: name: Koziol, Conrad
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Results of analogue experiments are analyzed to investigate strain localization and the response of materials with volumes of partial melt between 0-38% to applied pure shear. Partial melt is simulated through lower viscosity inclusions of Vaseline in a homogeneous block of higher viscosity paraffin wax. Samples are deformed at a constant natural strain rate in a pure shear, plane strain deformation rig. Processing of the experiments with Particle Imaging Velocimetry software reveal the development of shear bands, linear regions of concentrated shear strain. Shear bands nucleate on low viscosity inclusions and form networks connecting inclusions at low levels of deformation. Deformation within the analogue model experiments is characterized by the dimensionless shear band length, and is found to decrease as the ratio of stress in the Paraffin wax to the stress in the Vaseline increases. The flow stress of our analogue models decreases non-linearly with increasing volume percentage melt. No substantial decrease in the flow stress was found at melt volumes between 0% and 38% corresponding to the rheologically critical melt percentage (RCMP).

description: Sensing with undetected photons allows access to spectral regions with simultaneous detection of photons of another region and is based on nonlinear interferometry. To obtain the full information of a sample, the corresponding interferogram has to be analyzed in terms of amplitude and phase, which has been realized so far by multiple measurements followed by phase variation. Here, we present a polarization-optics-based phase-quadrature implementation in a nonlinear interferometer for imaging with undetected photons in the infrared region. This allows us to obtain phase and visibility with a single image acquisition without the need of varying optical paths or phases, thus enabling the detection of dynamic processes. We demonstrate the usefullness of our method on a static phase mask opaque to the detected photons as well as on dynamic measurement tasks as the drying of an isopropanol film and the stretching of an adhesive tape.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: [Missing Title page] The aim of this project is to design and fabricate a thermally activated peristaltic micropump in a monolithic multi-layer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) device. The advantage of our micropump over the conventional pressure activated micropumps is that our design only requires one pressure-control valve whereas the conventional approach requires one pressure-control valve for each valve. The goal of the project is to incorporate the newly designed micropump into a fully portable microfluidic device that can be used to pump fluid and cells through the chip. The goal is to design thermally activated valves with a response time of <3 seconds and micropumps that can pump fluid at 0.1 nL/sec. Designing a new type of micropump in the field of microfluidics is important because microfluidics is a fast growing field with applications in everything from micro-PCR to digital microfluidics for early cancer detection. The equipment and resources of this project fall into three distinct sub-categories. They are: Design, fabrication and testing. For device design we used a computer with 2D AutoCAD drawing capabilities and a printer for transparencies with 10um resolution is required. For fabrication, we used a cleanroom with wet bench, spinner, hot plate, UV light, gold for evaporation, gold evaporator, PDMS mixing facilities, oxygen plasma, plasma bonding and lab space is required. For testing, we used an inverted microscope, pressure source and fluorescent particles. The project is sponsored by Dr. Boris Stoeber and he has agreed to provide the resources and equipment that we need to make this project a success. This is an exciting project which has the potential to offer a significant new tool to the field of microfluidics. Project objective #1, eliminate leakage, and objective #3, production of portable microfluidic device were completed. Project objective #2, microvalves with response time of <3 seconds incorporated into a micropump was not completed. Leakage was eliminated by spinning on uncured PDMS onto a glass slide, curing the PDMS and then bonding the glass slide to a PDMS multi-layer device. A portable carriage with pressure sources, microcontroller and power supply was designed and built for carrying our microfluidic device and a program developed for the microcontroller to operate the microfluidic pump. The development of the micropump was not completed because of inconsistent Pluronic gel behavior and it took us until January, 2011 to eliminate leakage in our device. All team members are committed to continuing the project at a collective work rate of 10 hours per week until the micropump works on the portable device. Key recommendations are to make and test more microfluidic devices with spin-on PDMS and characterize device response time, pumping rate and pressure. Further, we will test the adhesion promoter GE SS412 for improving the spin-on PDMS bonding to glass.

description: Oil in water emulsions are commonly stabilized by emulsifying constituents like proteins and/or low molecular weight emulsifiers. The emulsifying constituents can compete or coexist at the interface. Interfacial properties thus depend on molecular structure of the emulsifying constituents and the oil phase and the resulting molecular interactions. The present study systematically analyzed the impact of fatty acid saturation of triacylglycerides and phosphatidylcholine on the interfacial properties of a β-lactoglobulin-stabilized interface. The long-term adsorption behaviour and the viscoelasticity of β-lactoglobulin-films were analyzed with or without addition of phosphatidylcholine via drop tensiometry and dilatational rheology. Results from the present study showed that increasing similarity in fatty acid saturation and thus interaction of phosphatidylcholine and oil phase increased the interfacial tension for the phosphatidylcholine alone or in combination with β-lactoglobulin. The characteristics and stability of interfacial films with β-lactoglobulin-phosphatidylcholine are further affected by interfacial adsorption during changes in interfacial area and crystallization events of low molecular weight emulsifiers. This knowledge gives guidance for improving physical stability of protein-based emulsions in foods and related areas.

description: The increasing amount of data available and the growing interdependencies within enterprise networks play an important role in the future of manufacturing companies. Both B2B and B2C markets are changing significantly, driven by new technologies and the increasing amount of data created within them. However, companies face a variety of challenges when attempting to create value based on that data. This whitepaper aims to provide crucial insights into value creation within data-driven ecosystems and the potential benefits companies may gain based on the data within these ecosystems. Following a detailed exploration of data-driven ecosystems and players therein, the paper offers a five-step approach for manufacturing companies to achieve strategic success positions. Based on a study conducted by Fraunhofer IPT, the derived concept was validated and supplemented by recommendations for action. Finally, the work discusses four guiding principles for implementation within manufacturing companies to address the major challenges they face.

Cross-Frequency Slow Oscillation–Spindle Coupling in a Biophysically Realistic Thalamocortical Neural Mass Model

description: Sleep manifests itself by the spontaneous emergence of characteristic oscillatory rhythms, which often time-lock and are implicated in memory formation. Here, we analyze a neural mass model of the thalamocortical loop in which the cortical node can generate slow oscillations (approximately 1 Hz) while its thalamic component can generate fast sleep spindles of σ-band activity (12–15 Hz). We study the dynamics for different coupling strengths between the thalamic and cortical nodes, for different conductance values of the thalamic node's potassium leak and hyperpolarization-activated cation-nonselective currents, and for different parameter regimes of the cortical node. The latter are listed as follows: (1) a low activity (DOWN) state with noise-induced, transient excursions into a high activity (UP) state, (2) an adaptation induced slow oscillation limit cycle with alternating UP and DOWN states, and (3) a high activity (UP) state with noise-induced, transient excursions into the low activity (DOWN) state. During UP states, thalamic spindling is abolished or reduced. During DOWN states, the thalamic node generates sleep spindles, which in turn can cause DOWN to UP transitions in the cortical node. Consequently, this leads to spindle-induced UP state transitions in parameter regime (1), thalamic spindles induced in some but not all DOWN states in regime (2), and thalamic spindles following UP to DOWN transitions in regime (3). The spindle-induced σ-band activity in the cortical node, however, is typically the strongest during the UP state, which follows a DOWN state “window of opportunity” for spindling. When the cortical node is parametrized in regime (3), the model well explains the interactions between slow oscillations and sleep spindles observed experimentally during Non-Rapid Eye Movement sleep. The model is computationally efficient and can be integrated into large-scale modeling frameworks to study spatial aspects like sleep wave propagation.

description: The Ypsi Farmers & Gardeners Oral History Project [which can be accessed at https://history.ypsilibrary.org/ypsilanti-farmers-gardeners/ ] is a community-driven oral history archive housed at Ypsilanti District Library (YDL), in partnership with the University of Michigan-Dearborn, that shares the wisdom and traditional agricultural practices of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and/or working-class farmers and gardeners in Ypsilanti, MI. The project is a continuation of a qualitative dissertation project completed by Project Director, Dr. Finn Bell. Despite being the most vulnerable to experiencing food insecurity, land dispossession, and adverse health outcomes associated with climate change, these farmers and gardeners are often left out of mainstream environmentalist narratives and the climate action agenda. This community-engaged project enables them to tell their own stories, in their own words. During the summer, student researcher Sasha Kindred conducted a literature review about best oral history practices to ensure that the research team continues to center community decision-making during the next phase of this project.

description: This policy brief highlights findings from the ERICC formative research study titled ‘Access and continuity of quality education for older adolescent boys and girls in the refugee camp and host community of Cox’s Bazar’.That study identifies: (1) the key stakeholders involved in creating education opportunities for older adolescents and girls in Cox’s Bazar; (2) the technical and vocational opportunities that are available to older adolescents and girls in Cox’s Bazar; (3) the determinants influencing school dropout rates among adolescents in both refugee and host communities in Cox’s Bazar; (4) the expectations and life goals of adolescents and girls in Cox’s Bazar.The study emphasises the skills deemed valuable by the adolescents and their parents; the opportunities for and barriers to skills development, and the formal and non-formal educational pathways available for re-engagement in schooling for that group. A number of barriers have been identified as the main reasons for school dropout, especially for girls. These include early marriage, gender norms surrounding domestic responsibilities, safety issues, and financial constraints.The recommendations of the study point to the need to address such barriers, particularly among the Rohingya refugee community, focusing on five key areas that are:● Expand technical and vocational education training (TVET) programmes● Enhance access to formal secondary education● Strengthen school capacity and aligning non-formal education● Provide targeted financial support● Introduce community-based income-generation programmes

description: This bachelor thesis covers the realization and thermal properties optimization of a broadband radio frequency power amplifier in the Reader of Radio Frequency Identification applications in the Super High Frequency band from 5.725 to 5.875 GHz. Based on the preceding internship at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems, a number of different designs are developed in simulation to improve the thermal properties from some cost-effective aspects. Furthermore, some designs with the area of 4 cmx4 cm are selected for production and verification. Through measurement, their electrical characteristics and thermal properties are compared and evaluated respectively. Through the thermal simulation results and measurement results, it can be concluded that the AC ground and DC ground on the PCB of the RF-power amplifier have a great influence on the electrical characteristics and thermal properties. When AC ground and DC ground are separated from each other, the gain and impedance matching of transmission line is good. However, the heat on the PCB cannot be conducted well in the practical application, so the temperature of the chip might be too high, thereby degrading the electrical characteristics of the chip or even damaging the chip. On the contrary, the electrical characteristics of the PCB are slightly worse, while the thermal characteristics are greatly improved. Therefore, the design requirements need to be specifically considered in practice. In addition, increasing the density of the vias (reducing the via-to-via spacing) around the chip or reducing the thickness of the PCB can slightly improve the electrical characteristics and thermal properties of the PCB. Based on the consistency of the measurement results and the simulation results, it can be inferred that if the area is increased, the thermal performance will be significantly improved. Therefore, in the practical application, if the front end of the RFID reader has more space left for the RF-power amplifier, it can also be considered to separate the AC ground from the DC ground on the PCB with larger area, such as 5 cmx5 cm.

description: The trustworthiness of AI applications has been the subject of recent research and is also addressed in the EU's recently adopted AI Regulation. The currently emerging foundation models in the field of text, speech and image processing offer completely new possibilities for developing AI applications. This whitepaper shows how the trustworthiness of an AI application developed with foundation models can be evaluated and ensured. For this purpose, the application-specific, risk-based approach for testing and ensuring the trustworthiness of AI applications, as developed in the "AI Assessment Catalog - Guideline for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence" by Fraunhofer IAIS, is transferred to the context of foundation models. Special consideration is given to the fact that specific risks of foundation models can have an impact on the AI application and must also be taken into account when checking trustworthiness.

description: Urban agriculture, which encompasses growing food on residential land, community and school gardens, rooftop gardens and inner city farms and any other food growing that occurs within a city, is an increasingly popular activity in the City of Vancouver. Urban agriculture has many environmental and social benefits and this is recognized in recent publications by municipal governments of the region. The focus of this project was to investigate how land is partitioned on residential blocks, how much residential land is being used to grow food, and if there is space and willingness to increase food growing on residential blocks. We also investigated whether residents would be willing to share their yard space if they have it. To answer these questions, we analyzed aerial photos of one block randomly selected from each of Vancouver’s twenty-two neighbourhoods and administered a survey to the residents of these neighbourhoods. We grouped the twenty-two neighbourhoods of our analysis into four categories based on their dwelling density. Some important findings were that 77% of Vancouver residents believe it is important to eat food that is grown locally, 52% of Vancouver residents grow some food for some period of the year. There is a significant correlation between individual residents’ responses relating to the importance of eating local food and whether they grow food. We also found that between 8-12% of the yard area of residential blocks is currently being used to grow food, which leaves space for food growing to increase. Our survey data indicates that there is not only available space, but also willingness on behalf of residents for food growing to increase. The data also indicates that given various conditions, at a minimum 26% of residents would be willing to share their yard space for others to grow food on. Based on the findings from our analysis of aerial photos and from our survey, we make the following recommendations: • Increase education on the benefits of growing food and how to tend a food garden in Vancouver. • Encourage and support Vancouver residents to grow food on residential spaces. • Support the existing supply of local food in its many forms and preserve existing agricultural land. • Provide more long lasting spaces for growing food for recreational and commercial purposes. • Use data on current high density areas as predictors for the needs of low and medium density areas in the future. Green space on residential blocks is an inventory of land that currently contributes to urban agriculture in the City of Vancouver. With appropriate action on behalf of residents and local governments, this inventory could be used to increase urban agriculture, which has the potential to benefit the City and its residents in various ways.
