description: We present precision transit observations of the Neptune-sized planets K2-28b and K2-100b, using the Engineered Diffuser on the ARCTIC imager on the ARC 3.5m Telescope at Apache Point Observatory. K2-28b is a $R_{p} = 2.56 R_\oplus$ mini-Neptune transiting a bright (J=11.7) metal-rich M4 dwarf, offering compelling prospects for future atmospheric characterization. K2-100b is a $R_{p} = 3.45 R_\oplus$ Neptune in the Praesepe Cluster and is one of few planets known in a cluster transiting a host star bright enough ($V=10.5$) for precision radial velocity observations. Using the precision photometric capabilities of the diffuser/ARCTIC system, allows us to achieve a precision of $105^{+87}_{-37}$ppm, and $38^{+21}_{-11}$ppm in 30 minute bins for K2-28b, and K2-100b, respectively. Our joint-fits to the K2 and ground-based light-curves give an order of magnitude improvement in the orbital ephemeris for both planets, yielding a timing precision of 2min in the JWST era. Although we show that the currently available broad-band measurements of K2-28b's radius are currently too imprecise to place useful constraints on K2-28b's atmosphere, we demonstrate that JWST/NIRISS will be able to discern between a cloudy/clear atmosphere in a modest number of transit observations. Our light-curve of K2-100b marks the first transit follow-up observation of this challenging-to-observe transit, where we obtain a transit depth of $819 \pm 50 \mathrm{ppm}$ in the SDSS $i^\prime$ band. We conclude that diffuser-assisted photometry can play an important role in the TESS era to perform timely and precise follow-up of the expected bounty of TESS planet candidates.

description: AbstractBackground & Aims: Interleukin (IL)-10 is a cytokine with potent anti-inflammatory properties. We investigated the safety and efficacy of different doses of human recombinant (rhu)IL-10 in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Methods: A prospective, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted in 329 therapy-refractory patients with CD. Clinical improvement was defined by a reduction of the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) by 100 points or more and clinical remission by a decrease of the CDAI to Results: Subcutaneous treatment with rhuIL-10 over 28 days induced a fully reversible, dose-dependent decrease in hemoglobin and thrombocyte counts but no clinically significant side effects. No differences in the induction of remission were observed between rhuIL-10 groups (1 μg, 18% [9.6–29.2]; 4 μg, 20% [11.3–32.2]; 8 μg, 20% [11.1–31.8]; 20 μg, 28% [18–40.7]; and placebo, 18% [9.6–29.6]). Clinical improvement was observed in 46% (33.7–59) in the 8-μg/kg rhuIL-10 group in comparison with 27% (17–39.6) in patients taking placebo. Responders to rhuIL-10 showed inhibition of NF-κB p65 activation in contrast to nonresponders. Conclusions: Up to 8 μg/kg of rhuIL-10 was well tolerated. A tendency toward clinical improvement but not remission was observed in the 8-μg/kg dose group. Further studies should delineate which subgroups of patients with CD benefit from rhuIL-10 therapy.GASTROENTEROLOGY 2000;119:1461-1472

description: Malta, a tiny island-state in the Mediterranean Sea has been a member of the European Union since 1 January 2004, and a member of the Schengen area since 21st December 2007. Since then, Malta has seemingly provided a golden gateway for the boatloads of people that escape the African shores in search of a better way of life. Many a study has focused on how this migratory phenomenon has effected the Maltese population. A detention policy enacted by the Maltese Government precludes the landed immigrants from roaming freely to their utter disillusionment. Thus if migration is as old as mankind, and the Maltese people are migrants themselves, one should assume that the Maltese – should understand and accept the immigrants in Malta. But answers to questions put to the University students in this study and other studies herewith quoted, prove differently. The shared-memories of the conflicts of gone-by eras, the way our history books have recorded such conflicts and taught in Maltese schools, as seen from the social identity theory, may have contributed for the current prejudice against the ‘klandestini’ and other foreigners. This study analyses the students’ attitudes towards these ‘third country nationals’.

description: The need for teaching realistic software development in project courses has increased in a global scale. It has always been challenges in cooperating fast-changing software technologies, development methodologies and teamwork. Moreover, such project courses need to be designed in the connection to existing theoretical courses. We performed a large-scale research on student performance in Software Engineering projects in Norwegian universities. This paper investigates four aspects of team dynamics, which are team reflection, leadership, decision making and task assignment in order to improve student learning. Data was collected from student projects in 4 years at two universities. We found that some leader's characteristics are perceived differently for female and male leaders, including the perception of leaders as skilful workers or visionaries. Leadership is still a challenging aspect to teach, and assigned leadership is probably not the best way to learn. Students is are performing well in task review, however, needs support while performing task assignment. The result also suggests that task management to be done in more fine-grained levels. It is also important to maintain an open and active discussion to facilitate effective group decision makings.
title: Crossing the Line: Juvenile Transfer and Prison Violence

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: The juvenile court has long held caring and rehabilitation as it's objective for those persons who commit crimes while under age 18. However, arguably, that goal has been compromised with the use of juvenile transfers. Some research has been done on the use of transfers, but little has studied the effects of incarcerating juveniles with adult prisoners at the state level. This thesis examines the use of the juvenile transfer and the effects it has with respect to prison violence using states in the U.S. as the unit of analysis. It was hypothesized that prison violence would increase with an increase in juveniles in those prisons based on prior research which showed that juveniles were more likely to be both the perpetrators and the victims of violence. The results of the analysis did not find support for this hypothesis, with the exception of prison riots. It was found that prison riots were correlated with juvenile incarceration in adult prisons and that the odds of a riot occurring was found to increase five fold with an increase in the number of juveniles in adult prisons. Policy implications and alternatives to the use of juvenile transfers are discussed.

description: We discovered a novel effect that can cause witness emittance growth in plasma wakefield accelerators. The effect appears in linear or moderately nonlinear plasma waves. The witness experiences a time-varying focusing force and loses quality during the time required for the drive beam to reach transverse equilibrium with the plasma wave. The higher the witness charge, the lower the emittance growth rate because of additional focusing of the witness by its own wakefield. However, the witness head always degrades, and the boundary between degraded and intact parts gradually propagates backward along the witness bunch.

description: The steady thermocapillary droplet migration in a uniform temperature gradient combined with a radiation energy source at large Reynolds and Marangoni numbers is studied. To reach a terminal quasi-steady process, the magnitude of the radiation energy source is required to preserve the conservative integral thermal flux across the surface. Under the quasi-steady state assumption, an analytical result for the steady thermocapillary migration of a droplet at large Reynolds and Marangoni numbers is derived by using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. It is shown that the thermocapillary droplet migration speed increases as Marangoni number increases, while the radiation energy source with the sine square dependence is provided.

description: Superconducting states with "extended s-wave" symmetry have been suggested in connection with recent ARPES experiments on BSCCO. In the presence of impurities, thermodynamic properties of such states reflect a residual density of states $N(0)$ for a range of concentrations. While properties reflecting $N(ω)$ alone will be similar to those of d-wave states, transport measurements may be shown to qualitatively distinguish between the two. In contrast to the d-wave case with unitarity limit scattering, limiting low-temperature residual conductivities in the s-wave state are large and scale inversely with impurity concentration.

description: We introduce SCORES, a recursive neural network for shape composition. Our network takes as input sets of parts from two or more source 3D shapes and a rough initial placement of the parts. It outputs an optimized part structure for the composed shape, leading to high-quality geometry construction. A unique feature of our composition network is that it is not merely learning how to connect parts. Our goal is to produce a coherent and plausible 3D shape, despite large incompatibilities among the input parts. The network may significantly alter the geometry and structure of the input parts and synthesize a novel shape structure based on the inputs, while adding or removing parts to minimize a structure plausibility loss. We design SCORES as a recursive autoencoder network. During encoding, the input parts are recursively grouped to generate a root code. During synthesis, the root code is decoded, recursively, to produce a new, coherent part assembly. Assembled shape structures may be novel, with little global resemblance to training exemplars, yet have plausible substructures. SCORES therefore learns a hierarchical substructure shape prior based on per-node losses. It is trained on structured shapes from ShapeNet, and is applied iteratively to reduce the plausibility loss.We showresults of shape composition from multiple sources over different categories of man-made shapes and compare with state-of-the-art alternatives, demonstrating that our network can significantly expand the range of composable shapes for assembly-based modeling.

description: We analyze the implications of electroweak and strong coupling unification in a very general class of models extending the minimal supersymmetric standard model in $4+p$ dimensions $(p\geq 0)$. In general, electroweak precision data require the presence of large extra dimensions (low compactification scales, $M_c$) and/or low unification scale, $M_U$. In particular, the actual experimental value of the strong coupling at $M_Z$ imposes an upper bound on the compactification and unification scales. In four dimensional theories ($M_c\simeq M_U$) with canonical hypercharge assignment we find $M_U\lesssim 10^{9}$ GeV. In theories with extra dimensions ($M_c

Strong Coordination over Noisy Channels

description: We study the problem of strong coordination of the actions of two nodes $X$ and $Y$ that communicate over a discrete memoryless channel (DMC) such that the actions follow a prescribed joint probability distribution. We propose two novel random coding schemes and a polar coding scheme for this noisy strong coordination problem, and derive inner bounds for the respective strong coordination capacity region. The first scheme is a joint coordination-channel coding scheme that utilizes the randomness provided by the DMC to reduce the amount of local randomness required to generate the sequence of actions at Node $Y$. Based on this random coding scheme, we provide a characterization of the capacity region for two special cases of the noisy strong coordination setup, namely, when the actions at Node $Y$ are determined by Node $X$ and when the DMC is a deterministic channel. The second scheme exploits separate coordination and channel coding where local randomness is extracted from the channel after decoding. The third scheme is a joint coordination-channel polar coding scheme for strong coordination. We show that polar codes are able to achieve the established inner bound to the noisy strong coordination capacity region and thus provide a constructive alternative to a random coding proof. Our polar coding scheme also offers a constructive solution to a channel simulation problem where a DMC and shared randomness are employed together to simulate another DMC. Finally, by leveraging the random coding results for this problem, we present an example in which the proposed joint scheme is able to strictly outperform the separate scheme in terms of achievable communication rate for the same amount of injected randomness into both systems. Thus, we establish the sub-optimality of the separation of strong coordination and channel coding with respect to the communication rate over the DMC.

description: This paper shows that orbital equations generated by iteration of polynomial maps do not have necessarily a unique representation. Remarkably, they may be represented in an infinity of ways, all interconnected by certain nonlinear transformations. Five direct and five inverse transformations are established explicitly between a pair of orbits defined by cyclic quintic polynomials with real roots and minimum discriminant. In addition, infinite sequences of transformations generated recursively are introduced and shown to produce unlimited supplies of equivalent orbital equations. Such transformations are generic, valid for arbitrary dynamics governed by algebraic equations of motion.

Year: 2003

description: Using study data collected for a larger research project entitled Project on Policing Neighborhoods in Indianapolis, Indiana, 1996, the relationship between social ties and disorder on neighborhood structural characteristics and crime rates was tested. Using two Structural Equation Models the mediating effects of social ties and disorder on neighborhood structural characteristics and crime received partial support from the analysis of Indianapolis data.

The results revealed that poverty and family disruption exerts a positive impact on crime rates. The results also revealed that neighborhoods with high levels of racial heterogeneity have a negative effect on social ties. As well, the study found that social ties has a significant and positive impact on burglary. The results also revealed that poverty and family disruption does not significantly affect social ties.

Moreover, the mediating variables social ties, physical, and social disorder did not mediate the effect of all neighborhood structural characteristics and crime. Each mediator, however, did mediate between at least one neighborhood structural characteristic and crime. Moreover, social ties mediated between all neighborhood structural characteristics and crime. All intervening variables mediated the effect of poverty and crime rates. Among all intervening variables, social disorder was the most effective mediator overall; it transmitted a large portion of the effect of poverty on crime rates.

These low temperature behaviors are explained as effects of a periodic potential. The present explanation is different from that by Kartsovnik et al. [J. Phys.

It is also predicted that if the periodic potential exists at quantizing magnetic field, resistivity peak of new origin should be observed.

description: We have results from light hadron simulations in quenched QCD at beta=6.0 and 6.2 using non-perturbatively improved Sheikholeslami-Wohlert fermions in an effort to remove all order(a) effects. From looking at hadron masses and splittings and the RG-invariant quark masses (where we have one point at beta=5.7) we suggest this is plausible even with the limited data set. The interpretation of the decay constants appears to be less clear.

description: Measurements of Deep-Inelastic Neutral and Charged current interactions are presented in lepton proton scattering at HERA. The measurements are obtained from taken during 1996 to 1999 and consists of $30 \rm{pb^{-1}}$ of $e^+p$ and $16 \rm{pb^{-1}}$ of $e^-p$ data. The addition of the new high statistics electron data with the positron data allows the first extraction of the parity violating structure function $xF_3$ and tests of high-$Q^2$ electroweak effects of the heavy bosons $Z^0$ and $W$ are observed and found to be consistent with the Standard Model expectation.

There have never before been so many opportunities to visit fascinating places and view magnificent scenes at such modest prices for Reston residents. The catch is that, for the large majority of trips, you must qualify as a “senior” with at least 55 years behind you. All seniors owe a debt of gratitude to Eileen Boone for her selection of Trips & Tours. In most cases bus pickups and returns will be made both at Hunters Woods and Lake Anne.

description: Search for exotics has increased importance since the observation of the X(3872), 13 years ago, announced by the Belle Collaboration. The observation of pentaquark states by LHCb, and the Z-charged states observed at Belle and BES III have raised even more the attention to the field. Presently several states are observed that do not fit potential models, and looking for them in different production mechanisms and search for their decay modes it is important, as well as to do precise measurement of their mass, width, lineshape. We shortly report in this note about the plan in searching for exotics at Belle II at KEK (Tsukuba, Japan), that just ended the Phase-II running period, and show the first re-discovery results using 5 pb$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity.

description: Thin film condensation is commonly present in numerous natural and artificial processes. Phase-change driven passive heat spreaders such as heat pipes, which are widely used in electronics cooling, employ a continuous condensation process at the condenser region. When the wick structure of a heat pipe is composed of grooves, the top surfaces of the walls (fins) located between consecutive grooves function as the major source of condensation and the condensate flows along the fin top into the grooves. Modeling of this condensation problem is vital for the proper estimation of condensation heat transfer, which constitutes the basis for the overall performance of an heat pipe together with the evaporation process. In the current study, a solution methodology is developed to model the condensation and associated liquid flow in a fin-groove system. Conservation of mass and momentum equations, augmented Young-Laplace equation and Kucherov-Rikenglaz equation are solved simultaneously to calculate the film thickness profile. The model proposed enables the investigation of the effect of disjoining pressure on the film profile by keeping the fin-groove corner, where the film becomes thinnest, inside the solution domain. The results show that dispersion forces become effective for near isothermal systems with sharp fin-groove corners and the film profile experiences an abrupt change, a slope break, in the close proximity of the corner. The current study is the first computational confirmation of this behavior in the literature.

description: We analyze the effects of CP-violating phases on the electric dipole moment (EDM) of electron and neutron in the constrained minimal supersymmetric model. We find that the phases phi_μ and phi_{A_0} have to be strongly correlated, in particular for small values of the SUSY mass parameters. We calculate the neutron EDM in two different models, the Quark-Parton Model and the Chiral Quark Model. It turns out that the predictions are quite sensitive to the model used. We show parameter regions in the M_0-M_1/2 plane which are excluded by considering simultaneously the experimental bounds of both electron and neutron EDM, assuming specific values for the phases phi_μ and phi_{A_0}.

description: We calculate the x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) modulating the Ba 4d-photoabsorption cross section - the giant dipole resonance - centered around 110 eV photon energy for several models of spherical and non-spherical Ba@C_n metallofullerene cage systems. In the cases considered, the XANES interference patterns provide clear structural "fingerprints", distinguishing between center versus off-center Ba position and spherical versus deformed C_n shell.

description: It is argued that important information on the emergence of space is hidden at the quark/hadron level. The arguments follow from the acceptance of the conception that space is an attribute of matter. They involve in particular the discussion of possibly relevant mass and distance scales, the generalization of the concept of mass as suggested by the phase-space-based explanation of the rishon model, and the phenomenological conclusions on the structure of excited baryons that are implied by baryon spectroscopy. A counterpart of the Eddington-Weinberg relation concerning Regge towers of hadronic resonances is noted.
title: The presence of denitrifiers in bacterial communities of urban stormwater best management practices (BMPs)
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are engineered structures that attempt to mitigate the impacts of stormwater, including nitrogen inputs from the surrounding drainage area. The goal of this study was to assess bacterial communities in different types of stormwater BMP in Clarksburg, MD to establish whether a particular BMP type could potentially harbor more denitrification potential. Sampling took place over the summer of 2015 following precipitation events. Four bioretention facilities, four dry ponds, and four surface sand filters were sampled. An additional single core was taken from one dry swale. Primers for the 16S rRNA gene as well as nirK, nirS, and nosZ denitrification genes were used for PCR amplification of DNA extracts prior to next-generation sequencing. RNA was also extracted to identify viable bacterial communities and was subjected to RT-PCR amplification using 16S rRNA primers. High bacterial diversity was evident in all BMP types sampled, including an abundance of denitrifiers. Based on the identification of a viable community of denitrifiers, denitrification could potentially occur under appropriate conditions in all types of BMP sampled, including surface sand filters that have tended to be ignored in these types of study. While surface sand filter media is predominantly inorganic material, the carbon content of incoming stormwater could be providing bacterial communities with conditions for denitrification. Overall, the BMPs sampled had a robust, diverse, bacterial community capable of denitrification.

description: Nanoscale wireless sensor networks (NWSNs) could be within reach soon using graphene-based antennas, which resonate in 0.1-10 terahertz band. To conserve the limited energy available at nanoscale, it is expected that NWSNs will communicate using extremely short pulses on the order of femtoseconds. Accurate estimation of direction of arrival (DOA) for such terahertz pulses will help realize many useful applications for NWSNs. In this paper, using the well-known MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm, we study DOA estimation for NWSNs for different energy levels, distances, pulse shapes, and frequencies. Our analyses reveal that the best DOA estimation is achieved with the first order Gaussian pulses, which emit their peak energy at 6 THz. Based on Monte Carlo simulations, we demonstrate that MUSIC algorithm is capable of estimating DOA with root mean square error less than one degree from a distance of around 6 meter for pulse energy as little as 1 atto Joule.

description: We investigate the finite-temperature phase structure and the scaling of the chiral condensate in lattice QCD with two degenerate light quarks, using a renormalization group improved gauge action and the Wilson quark action. We obtain a phase diagram which is consistent with that from the parity-flavor breaking scenario. The scaling relation for the chiral condensate assuming the critical exponents and the scaling function of the three dimensional O(4) model is remarkably satisfied for a wide range of parameters. This indicates that the chiral transition in two flavor QCD is of second order in the continuum limit.

Subjects: conflict, political disagreement, amnesty, peace and stability

description: This study examined Rivers State amnesty programme and conflict reduction in Local Government Areas in Rivers State. Two specific objectives and two research questions guided the study. Descriptive survey and case study research designs were adopted for the study. The population of the study is made up of the 1,284,010 residents of Ogba/Ebgema/Ndoni Local Government, Ahoada East Local Government Area and Asari Toro Local Government Areas of Rivers State. The sample size for the study consists of 1560 respondents. The purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample size. Data used for this study were both primary and secondary data. A structured questionnaire items containing 10 items titled: “Rivers State Government Amnesty Programme and Conflict Reduction Questionnaire (RSGAPCRQ)” was used for data collection. The questionnaire was subjected to reliability of internal consistency using Cronbach alpha test for the two clusters of the instrument. The computation gave reliability indexes of 0.72 and 0.76 with mean reliability index of 0.74. This showed that the instrument was reliability. The data gotten from the field was first collated into tables to ease analysis. Descriptive statistics (simple percentage) was used to answer the research questions. The results showed that Rivers State amnesty programme improved political stability by improving youth bodies’ politics and governance; reduction of violent political rivalry; increasing youth participation in politics; and improved peaceful functioning of different political groups in the areas. The results also showed that people are of the view that continuous youth empowerment, continuous women empowerment, continuous registration of youth bodies; and establishing database for unemployed persons can be used to prevent the reoccurrence of armed conflict sin across the Local Government Areas in Rivers State. Based on the findings and conclusions drawn, it was recommended among others that Rivers State Government should establish a database for unemployed persons in the State and update such frequently. This would enable the government plan well how to empower the idle minds
