description: The string theory swampland proposes that there is no UV-completion for an effective field theory with an exact (metastable) de Sitter vacua, thereby ruling out standard $Λ$CDM cosmology if the conjecture is taken seriously. The swampland criteria have also been shown to be in sharp tension with quintessence models under current and forthcoming observational bounds. As a logical next step, we introduce higher derivative self-interactions in the low-energy effective Lagrangian and show that one can satisfy observational constraints as well as the swampland criteria for some specific models. In particular, the cubic Galileon term, in the presence of an exponential potential, is examined to demonstrate that parts of the Horndeski parameter space survives the swampland and leads to viable cosmological histories.

Implementing strategy to sustain Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI)
Creators: name: Akuwudike, Basilia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Purpose: The purpose of this DNP project was to launch a skin-to-skin mother-baby contact in the mother-baby unit, and kangaroo mother care in the NICU with the intention of ultimately improving breastfeeding rates as well as sustaining the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) for redesignation in 2021. Method: A retrospective chart review was carried out from the Electronic Health Record (EHR) for 3 months before offering an educational program for 1 month. Afterwards, post data were collected from the EHR. A total of 93 discharged babies were included in the sample, 77 normal newborn discharges, and 16 preterm NICU babies. Descriptive Statistics was used to summarize the demographic results; the resulting data set was evaluated for normality assumption for the dependent variable extracted. An independent sample t-test was used to compare the differences between variables before and after the education.Results: The mean value of skin-to-skin mother-baby contact in minutes at the pre-intervention group was (M = 63.59) and the mean value for the post intervention group was (M = 116.84). However, the mean value for kangaroo mother care in minutes was increased in the pre-intervention group than in the post intervention group. The use of radiant warmer was decreased in the post- intervention group. The mean value for use of the radiant warmer in minutes in the pre-intervention group was (M = 84.36), and the mean value for the use of the radiant warmer minutes in the post-intervention group was (M = 30). The number of times during the postpartum stay that babies had a drop in blood sugar and required extra feeding was minimal. Implications for Practice: The provision of evidence-based education for the staff assisted in the implementation of skin-to-skin mother-baby contact and was effective in the clinical practice setting as demonstrated by the positive findings for newborn neonates. Also, exclusive breastfeeding improved at the DNP site from 39.7% in 2019 to 51.2% in the preintervention period and finally to 68% after the educational workshop. The findings obtained from skin-to-skin mother-baby contact could potentially help the organization in obtaining BFHI re-designation.

FLOW CONTROL

description: This paper describes the design and the experimental result of the cryogenic propellant valves which are actuated by the electric motor. Through three years of a development term, the valve experienced several elemental tests to investigate its characteristics, and it was modified as required. In order to validate valve function, demonstration flow tests were carried out. As a result, the valve could be demonstrated its function under high pressure. Then, the valve was applied to the engine firing test series, and it was shown that the valve worked well under both ambient and cryogenic conditions during the firing test.

description: We have studied the nonlinear current-voltage characteristic of a two dimensional lattice Coulomb gas by Monte Carlo simulation. We present three different determinations of the power-law exponent $a(T)$ of the nonlinear current-voltage characteristic, $V \sim I^{a(T)+1}$. The determinations rely on both equilibrium and non-equilibrium simulations. We find good agreement between the different determinations, and our results also agree closely with experimental results for Hg-Xe thin film superconductors and for certain single crystal thin-film high temperature superconductors.

description: We show that the theory of isothermic surfaces in $\E^3$ -- one of the oldest branches of differential geometry -- can be reformulated within the modern theory of completely integrable (soliton) systems. This enables one to study the geometry of isothermic surfaces in $\E^3$ by means of powerful spectral methods available in the soliton theory. Also the associated non-linear system is interesting in itself since it displays some unconventional soliton features and, physically, could be applied in the theory of infinitesimal deformations of membranes.

description: We provide exact results for the mean and variance of first-passage times (FPTs) of making a directed revolution in the presence of a bias in heterogeneous quenched environments where the disorder is expressed by random traps on a ring with period $L$. FPT statistics are crucially affected by the disorder realization. In the large-$L$ limit, we obtain exact formulae for the FPT statistics, which are described by the sample mean and variance for waiting times of periodically arranged traps. Furthermore, we find that these formulae are still useful for nonperiodic heterogeneous environments; i.e, the results are valid for almost all disorder realizations. Our findings are fundamentally important for the application of FPT to estimate diffusivity of a heterogeneous environment under a bias.

description: Decoherence mechanisms in crystals of weakly anisotropic magnetic molecules, such as V15, are studied. We show that an important decohering factor is the rapid thermal fluctuation of dipolar interactions between magnetic molecules. A model is proposed to describe the influence of this source of decoherence. Based on the exact solution of this model, we show that at relatively high temperatures, about 0.5 K, the quantum coherence in a V15 molecule is not suppressed, and, in principle, can be detected experimentally. Therefore, these molecules may be suitable prototype systems for study of physical processes taking place in quantum computers.

Explaining the Uncertain: Stochastic Shapley Values for Gaussian Process Models.

Publisher: name: CISPA
Year: 2024

description: We present a novel approach for explaining Gaussian processes (GPs) that can utilize the full analytical covariance structure present in GPs. Our method is based on the popular solution concept of Shapley values extended to stochastic cooperative games, resulting in explanations that are random variables. The GP explanations generated using our approach satisfy similar favorable axioms to standard Shapley values and possess a tractable covariance function across features and data observations. This covariance allows for quantifying explanation uncertainties and studying the statistical dependencies between explanations. We further extend our framework to the problem of predictive explanation, and propose a Shapley prior over the explanation function to predict Shapley values for new data based on previously computed ones. Our extensive illustrations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Determination of Scalar Meson Masses in QCD-inspired Quark Models

description: We compare two QCD-inspired quark models with four-fermion interaction, without and with the remnant coupling to low-energy gluons, in the regime of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB). The first one, the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model ensures the factorization of scalar and pseudoscalar meson poles in correlators, the well-known Nambu relation between the scalar meson mass and the dynamical quark mass, $m_σ = 2 m_{dyn}$, and the residual chiral symmetry in coupling constants characteristic for the linear $σ$-model. The second one, the Gauged NJL model, happens to be qualitatively different from the NJL model, namely, the Nambu relation is not valid and the factorization of light meson poles does not entail the residual chiral symmetry, i.e. it does not result in a linear $σ$-model. The more complicated DCSB pattern in the GNJL model is fully explained in terms of excited meson states with the same quantum numbers. The asymptotic restrictions on parameters of scalar and pseudoscalar meson states are derived from the requirement of chiral symmetry restoration at high energies.

description: A century ago, the foundations of equilibrium statistical mechanics were laid. For a system in equilibrium with a thermal bath, much is understood through the Boltzmann factor, exp{-H[C]/kT}, for the probability of finding the system in any microscopic configuration C. In contrast, apart from some special cases, little is known about the corresponding probabilities, if the same system is in contact with more than one reservoir of energy, so that, even in stationary states, there is a constant energy flux through our system. These non-equilibrium steady states display many surprising properties. In particular, even the simplest generalization of the Ising model offers a wealth of unexpected phenomena. Mostly discovered through Monte Carlo simulations, some of the novel properties are understood while many remain unexplained. A brief review and some recent results will be presented, highlighting the sharp contrasts between the equilibrium Ising system and this non-equilibrium counterpart.

description: Waverider configuration has been studied intensively since the concept was introduced by Nonweiler in 1959. Waverider is believed to be the ideal hypersonic vehicle configuration due to its high lift-todrag ratio characteristics. However, application of waverider configuration in practical vehicles has yet to be seen. A waverider vehicle was developed as a flight test demonstrator for practical waverider configuration. One of the main purposes of the flight test project is to demonstrate the feasibility of waverider configuration in practical hypersonic applications. The demonstrator was boosted by a solid rocket to hypersonic speed. When the preset flight test window conditions were meet, the demonstrator was released to free flight after the cowling ejection and stage separation. The demonstrator then performed a predesigned flight trajectory with its automated control system. A reliable and accurate aerodynamic database is the key to ensure the demonstrator flies along the predesigned trajectory. In this paper the methodology of the establishment of the aerodynamic database of the waverider vehicle is introduced. The aerodynamic data was mainly obtained with CFD simulations. Wind tunnel experiments were conducted at selected conditions for the validation of the CFD data. Post-fly data analysis was conducted and the analysis results show that the real flight data falls within the uncertainty band given by the aerodynamic database.

Year: 1960

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: JAXA and IHI have been conducting research to develop a high performance methane rocket engine such as specific impulse (Isp) of 370 secs, and a multi-element injector and a regeneratively cooled combustion chamber were designed. This study conducts firing tests to verify these components. As the results, multi-element injector shows characteristic velocity efficiency high enough to satisfy the target Isp. Then, the heat transfer characteristics of the combustor wall and regenerative cooling are obtained. Through these component tests, we successfully demonstrate the performance of the components and confirm the feasibility of the high performance methane engine.
Extremely large magnetoresistance induced by hidden three-dimensional Dirac bands in nonmagnetic semimetal InBi

description: Extremely large positive magnetoresistance (XMR) was found in a nonmagnetic semimetal InBi. Using several single crystals with different residual resistivity ratios (RRRs), we revealed that the XMR strongly depended on the RRR (sample quality). Assuming that there were no changes in effective mass m* and carrier concentrations in these single crystals, this dependence was explained by a semiclassical two-carrier model. First-principle calculations including the spin-orbit interactions (SOI) unveiled that InBi had a compensated carrier balance and SOI-induced "hidden" three-dimensional (3D) Dirac bands at the M and R points. Because the small m* and the large carrier mobilities will be realized, these hidden 3D Dirac bands should play an important role for the XMR in InBi. We suggest that this feature can be employed as a novel strategy for the creation of XMR semimetals.

description: The current study was carried out to evaluate short term effects of pruning intensities on fruit set, pod health and yield responses in mature trees of 10 to 15 years old. Two different pruning intensities (Removal of 20% removal of secondary branches and removal of 40% of secondary branches) were compared to unpruned trees (Control). We investigated also whether effects of pruning intensities vary across agroecological zones (deciduous and evergreen forest zones). Five cooperatives distributed in two agroecological zones were selected (two in deciduous zone and three in evergreen forest zone). Five trial sites were installed per cooperative each with the 3 pruning treatments (unpruned Control, 20% pruning and 40% pruning). Pruning treatments were applied the first time in April 2020 then renewed in April 2021. Various observations on yield parameters i.e., pod size, number of pods (healthy, mirid infected, black pod infected), number of beans per pod, fresh bean weight and dry bean weight were recorded for each plot at every harvest event (started in main crop 2020) for both light and main crops. 
Experiment results revealed that during the first year of trial (20/21 crop season) both pruning intensities increased dry bean yield. However, the lighter pruning intensity (20% pruning) was more suitable in transitional zone as it showed higher yield (648.5 Kg/Ha) compared to heavy pruning (40% pruning and 591,2 Kg/Ha) and unpruned control (522Kg/Ha). In evergreen forest zone, heavy pruning showed higher yield (890,5 Kg/Ha) compared to light pruning (832,5 Kg/Ha) and unpruned control (742,4 Kg/Ha). During 21/22 main crop both pruning intensities delivered comparable yield results in the two agroecological zones (600 Kg/Ha) but were still higher than unpruned control (500Kg/Ha). Pruning decreased mirid (52% and -60% respectively for 20% and 40% pruning intensity) and black pod -Phytophtora (-43% and -45% respectively for 20% and 40% pruning intensity) infestations over crop seasons. 
Our results confirmed that pruning is a key lever for reducing mirid and black pod disease infestation and improving productivity which contributes to increasing farmer income. Our findings showed also that light pruning is suitable in transitional zones when starting the implementation. Finally, by improving pod health pruning could contribute to improvement of beans quality by reducing the level of free fatty acids (FFA) that are favored by fermentation of poor-quality beans. The link between pruning and improvement of bean quality and potential for reducing FFA level is currently being investigated on our trial sites.

Advanced triage protocol for patients presenting to the emergency department with abdominal pain
Creators: name: Aljahmi, Sarah
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Purpose of Project: Emergency Department (ED) overcrowding is a widespread issue, which affects the safety and quality of care due to prolonged wait times, diagnosis, and treatment (Erenler et al., 2014). Length of stay (LOS) and left without being seen (LWBS) rates are key indicators of ED efficiency and quality of care (Mentzoni et al., 2019). The project site’s average LOS and LWBS rates are significantly higher than local and national averages, demonstrating a quality improvement gap to be addressed. A quality improvement project to improve triage practices for stable adult patients with abdominal pain complaints was proposed. An advanced triage protocol, consisting of standing order sets with rapid diagnostic testing and care, was implemented. This intervention intended to expedite care, reduce LOS, reduce LWBS, and ultimately improve efficiency and patient satisfaction in the era of ED overcrowding. Methodology: Through a quality improvement process, the advanced triage protocol for patients with abdominal pain complaints was implemented for one month in the ED triage area of an urban academic medical center. Retrospective chart reviews pre-and post the one-month implementation period were conducted to gather and analyze data to determine whether the intervention was effective in reducing LOS and LWBS rates in eligible patients. Results: This project resulted in a reduced mean LOS in eligible patients by 53 minutes (p=0.012), which was statistically and clinically significant in that it aids the project site ED in addressing the overcrowding crisis. The LWBS rate decreased from 11% to 10.4% post-intervention (p=0.344), which was not statistically significant and is far from the national benchmark goal of 2%, however the slight improvement in LWBS rates may still be clinically significant in improving the safety and quality of care. Implications for Practice: By implementing an advanced triage protocol consisting of triage nurse initiated standing order sets, this practice change improved patient flow and throughput in the ED. Advanced triage protocols and nurse initiated standing order sets are new evidence-based practices that will help to minimize the negative consequences related to long wait times, LOS, and overcrowding by reducing LOS and LWBS rates. The findings of this project demonstrated that this practice change can positively impact LOS and, residually, improve the efficiency, throughput, quality, safety, costs, and perception of care satisfaction in the ED (Hwang et al., 2016).

description: We investigate the excited state electronic structure of the model phase transition system In/Si(111) using femtosecond time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (trARPES) with an XUV laser source at 500 kHz . Excited state band mapping is used to characterize the normally unoccupied electronic structure above the Fermi level in both structural phases of indium nanowires on Si(111): the metallic (4x1) and the gapped (8x2) phases. The extracted band positions are compared with the band structure calculated using density functional theory (DFT) within both the LDA and GW approximations. While good overall agreement is found between the GW calculated band structure and experiment, deviations in specific momentum regions may indicate the importance of excitonic effects not accounted for at this level of approximation. To probe the dynamics of these excited states, their momentum-resolved transient population dynamics are extracted. The transient intensities are then simulated by a spectral function determined by a state population employing a transient elevated electronic temperature as determined experimentally. This allows the momentum-resolved population dynamics to be quantitatively reproduced, revealing important insights into the transfer of energy from the electronic system to the lattice. In particular, a comparison between the magnitude and relaxation time of the transient electronic temperature observed by trARPES with those of the lattice as probed in previous ultrafast electron diffraction studies imply a highly non-thermal phonon distribution at the surface following photo-excitation. This suggests the energy from the excited electronic system is initially transferred to high energy optical phonon modes followed by cooling and thermalization of the photo-excited system by much slower phonon-phonon coupling.

Below the Surface: Summarizing Event Sequences with Generalized Sequential Patterns
Creators: name: Cüppers, Joscha
name: Vreeken, Jilles
Publisher: name: CISPA
Year: 2024

description: We study the problem of succinctly summarizing a database of event sequences in terms of generalized sequential patterns. That is, we are interested in patterns that are not exclusively defined over observed surface-level events, as is usual, but rather may additionally include generalized events that can match a set of events. To avoid spurious and redundant results we define the problem in terms of the Minimum Description Length principle, by which we are after that set of patterns and generalizations that together best compress the data without loss. The resulting optimization problem does not lend itself for exact search, which is why we propose the heuristic Flock algorithm to efficiently find high-quality models in practice. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world data show that Flock results in compact and easily interpretable models that accurately recover the ground truth, including rare instances of generalized patterns. Additionally Flock recovers how generalized events within patterns depend on each other, and overall provides clearer insight into the data-generating process than using state of the art algorithms that only consider surface-level patterns.

description: Discriminating between quantum states is a fundamental problem in quantum information protocols. The optimum approach saturates the Helstrom bound, which quantifies the unavoidable error probability of mistaking one state for another. Computing the error probability directly requires complete knowledge and diagonalization of the density matrices describing these states. Both of these fundamental requirements become impractically difficult to obtain as the dimension of the states grow large. In this article, we analyze quantum illumination as a quantum channel discrimination protocol and circumvent these issues by using the normalized Hilbert-Schmidt inner product as a measure of distinguishability. Using this measure, we show that the greatest advantage gained by quantum illumination over conventional illumination occurs when one uses a Bell state.

Increasing breastfeeding rates in clinic patients
Creators: name: Asamoah-Duodu, Naana

description: Purpose of Project: This quality improvement project aimed to increase the breastfeeding rates in a clinic population with the use of prenatal breastfeeding education. It served to evaluate the effect of provider prenatal breastfeeding education on breastfeeding rates in clinic patients. With the use of prenatal breastfeeding educations, mothers are provided the support and resources needed to be able to successfully breastfeed in the postpartum period. Methodology: A breastfeeding education module was given to all the providers and case managers at the local clinic. Upon completion of the module, breastfeeding education during prenatal visits began at or before 36 weeks gestation and then weekly until delivery. Postpartum breastfeeding surveys were collected on all postpartum visit patients assessing their method of feeding for the babies. Two months of pre-intervention surveys were compared to two months of post-intervention surveys to evaluate effect of prenatal breastfeeding education on breastfeeding rates using quantitative data analysis with chi-square. Results: A two-by-two frequency cross-tabulation table showed prenatal breastfeeding education had a positive effect on the breastfeeding rates in the postpartum period with 11.6% exclusively breastfeeding in the post-intervention group and 6.4% breastfeeding in the pre-intervention group with a p-value of 0.0231. Implications for Practice: Findings suggest that prenatal breastfeeding education should be included in clinical practice and made a standard of care for all prenatal patients both locally and globally.

Partial Shading Detection and Smooth Maximum Power Point Tracking of PV Arrays under PSC

description: One of the most important issues in the operation of a photovoltaic (PV) system is extracting maximum power from the PV array, especially in partial shading condition (PSC). Under PSC, P-V characteristic of PV arrays will have multiple peak points, only one of which is global maximum. Conventional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods are not able to extract maximum power in this condition. In this paper, a novel two-stage MPPT method is presented to overcome this drawback. In the first stage, a method is proposed to determine the occurrence of PSC, and in the second stage, using a new algorithm that is based on ramp change of the duty cycle and continuous sampling from the P-V characteristic of the array, global maximum power point of array is reached. P&O algorithm is then re-activated to trace small changes of the new MPP. Open loop operation of the proposed method makes its implementation cheap and simple. The method is robust in the face of changing environmental conditions and array characteristics, and has minimum negative impact on the connected power system. Simulations in Matlab/Simulink and experimental results validate the performance of the proposed methods.
