description: As one of the most appealing miniaturized geometries for fracture toughness characterization, the miniature compact tension (mini-CT) geometry was demonstrated to provide reliable fracture toughness measurement in the ductile-to-brittle transition regime and Master Curve assessment. However, when using a mini-CT in the upper shelf (fully ductile) regime, the ductile crack initiation and the crack growth resistance tend to be underestimated for most of the investigated RPV steels. Previous experimental investigations have attributed the underestimation of the crack resistance properties to two concurrent processes related to loss of constraint and cold working occurring in the ligament ahead of crack tip during cracking, and gave an engineering size correction that mainly accounts for the thickness of the specimens. In this study, finite element simulations and two micromechanics-based approaches: the Rice-Tracey void growth model and Thomason void coalescence model are combined, aimed at investigating the role that the loss of constraint plays in the initiation of ductile fracture in a mini-CT and providing numerical evidence to support the proposal of the size correction on the critical fracture toughness. The final objective of this paper is to estimate the ductile crack initiation behavior that would be obtained from a standard 1T-CT specimen by applying appropriate size correction on a mini-CT. The results show that the method incorporating the finite element simulations and two micromechanics-based approaches can well describe the effects of loss of constraint for different materials, thus contributing to the size correction of critical fracture toughness of mini-CT in various conditions.

Kinetic Thinking: Corporeal Cognition through Dance Practice and Performance
Creators: name: Krische, Rachel
Publisher: name: Leeds Beckett University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis explores notions of embodied knowledges within dance through original research into the dance practice and performance of Rachel Krische. The central proposition is that dance is an activity of thinking in movement. It proposes the concept of kinetic thinking: that bodily movement is not illustrating thinking taking place in a separate mind, but is in itself an activity of thinking. This thesis critically engages with the experience that is made available within the practice and live performance of three existing published works: the solo The Swimmer (Hay, 2008), the duet Do Not Be Afraid (Sperling, 2010) and the solo Headphones (Krische, 2014) within Table of Contents (Davies, Buckley, Kaski, Morrissey, Krische & Sperling, 2014). The three works represent a continuous process of engagement with a studio and performance-based practice that allowed an in-depth exploration of the proposition of thinking kinetically. This was informed by contextual research, aspects of which are captured within this document. Framed against the historical legacy of a persistent Cartesian mind-body division, the discussion is explored within the disciplines of dance, phenomenology and embodied cognition. Theoretical concepts of perception, attention, action, somatic awareness, temporality, thinking and cognition are examined and interwoven with descriptions of insights that have emerged from the embodied conceptual tussling happening within practice. Additionally, details of the published works are presented in a separate supporting volume following the main thesis, providing contextual information that includes credits, synopsis and touring history details. A timeline of the works and professional biography situate them within a wider context of professional practice. Photographs and examples of scores/note-book entries are also provided, alongside video documentation of the three published works that can be accessed via the following link: Web link: https://vimeo.com/album/5065714 . Although I am collaborator and maker within the works, the primary focus of the research presented here is to be considered, not of or through the making of dances, but the doing of dancing. It focuses on knowledge realised through the lived experience of the dancer, recognising both the importance of the dancing body and positioning the dancer’s contribution as central to understanding.

description: Several lines of evidence indicate that Regulator of G Protein Signaling 4 (RGS4) contributes to schizophrenia vulnerability. RGS4 is one of a family of molecules that modulate signaling via G-protein coupled receptors. Five genes encoding members of this family (RGS2, RGS4, RGS5, RGS8 and RGS16) map to chromosome 1q23.3-1q31. Due to overlapping cellular functions and chromosomal proximity, we hypothesized that multiple RGS genes may contribute to schizophrenia severity and treatment responsiveness.

description: Inability to recognize emotional expressions of others (emotion perception) is one of the most common impairments observed among individuals with schizophrenia. Such deficits presumably contribute much to the social dysfunction characteristic of schizophrenia. This study examined the efficacy of a novel attentional-shaping intervention to improve emotion perception abilities. Sixty participants with schizophrenia were randomly assigned to one of three intervention conditions: 1) attentional-shaping, 2) contingent monetary reinforcement, or 3) repeated practice. Participants completed the Face Emotion Identification Test (FEIT) at pre-test, intervention, post-test, and one week follow-up. Participants also completed the Bell-Lysaker Emotion Recognition Test (BLERT) and the Social Behavior Scale at pre-test and follow-up to measure generalization.

description: Motivated by Wakimoto free field realisations, the bosonic ghost system of central charge $c=2$ is studied using a recently proposed formalism for logarithmic conformal field theories. This formalism addresses the modular properties of the theory with the aim being to determine the (Grothendieck) fusion coefficients from a variant of the Verlinde formula. The key insight, in the case of bosonic ghosts, is to introduce a family of parabolic Verma modules which dominate the spectrum of the theory. The results include S-transformation formulae for characters, non-negative integer Verlinde coefficients, and a family of modular invariant partition functions. The logarithmic nature of the corresponding ghost theories is explicitly verified using the Nahm-Gaberdiel-Kausch fusion algorithm.
description: 17 pages, one figure; v2: added refs and rewrote a little of the parabolic subalgebra discussion in Sec. 3 (no change to results); v3: added a sketch proof of Prop. 1, several clarifications and a few more refs (again, no change to results)
Single-Motor Robotic Gripper With Three Functional Modes for Grasping in Confined Spaces

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This study proposes a novel robotic gripper driven by a single motor. The main task is to pick up objects in confined spaces. For this purpose, the developed gripper has three operating modes: grasping, finger-bending, and pull-in modes. Using these three modes, the developed gripper can rotate and translate a grasped object, i.e., can perform in-hand manipulation. This in-hand manipulation is effective for grasping in extremely confined spaces, such as the inside of a box in a shelf, to avoid interference between the grasped object and obstacles. To achieve the three modes using a single motor, the developed gripper is equipped with two novel self-motion switching mechanisms. These mechanisms switch their motions automatically when the motion being generated is prevented. An analysis of the mechanism and control methodology used to achieve the desired behavior are presented. Furthermore, the validity of the analysis and methodology are experimentally demonstrated. The gripper performance is also evaluated through the grasping tests.

description: Schizophrenia and autism both feature significant impairments in social cognition and social functioning, but the specificity and mechanisms of these deficits remain unknown. Recent research suggests that social cognitive deficits in both disorders may arise from dysfunctions in the neural systems that underlie social cognition. We explored the neural activation of discrete brain regions implicated in social cognitive and face processing in schizophrenia subgroups and autism spectrum disorders during complex social judgments of faces. Twelve individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), 12 paranoid individuals with schizophrenia (P-SCZ), 12 non-paranoid individuals with schizophrenia (NP-SCZ), and 12 non-clinical healthy controls participated in this cross sectional study. Neural activation, as indexed by blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast, was measured in a priori regions of interest while individuals rated faces for trustworthiness. All groups showed significant activation of a social cognitive network including the amygdala, fusiform face area (FFA), superior temporal sulcus (STS), and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) while completing a task of complex social cognition (i.e. trustworthiness judgments). ASD and P-SCZ individuals showed significantly reduced neural activation in the right amygdala, FFA, and left VLPFC as compared to controls and in the left VLPFC as compared to NP-SCZ individuals during this task. These findings lend support to models hypothesizing well-defined neural substrates of social cognition and suggest a specific neural mechanism that may underlie social cognitive impairments in both autism and paranoid schizophrenia.
Geothermal system design for Henderson County School Corporation - Jefferson Elementary School
Creators: name: McDonald, Christopher
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2019

description: In early 2019, Henderson County School Corporation awarded the design of their new
school, Jefferson Elementary School to Hafer, an engineering and architectural firm
located in Evansville, Indiana. One request Henderson County School Corporation had,
was to utilize a geothermal system for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning of the
new school.
As an employee of Hafer under the mechanical engineering department, Chris McDonald
was assigned to the Jefferson Elementary School in February 2019 and decided to use
the geothermal system as his senior capstone design project. His project focuses on the
design and sizing of the geothermal system which includes: the geothermal field, field
pumps, building pumps, water source heat pumps (WSHP's) as well an outside air unit
which will utilize an energy recovery wheel.
Building load calculations were completed by the professional Engineer (PE) prior to Chris
being assigned to the project; these building load calculations were used in the design
and sizing for the geothermal system. In sizing the geothermal field, a geothermal
contractor was hired to drill a test hole and run a thermal analysis on the site. From the
test results of the thermal analysis and the building cooling load, it was calculated a total
of 72 loops were required. A 20% glycol solution is pumped through the geothermal field
to the building where the building pump pumps the solution to the WSHP's to provide the
heating and cooling for the building. It was calculated that the geothermal field pump
needed 650 gpm and 90 feet of head to provide proper flow to the field. The building
pump required 500 gpm and 65 feet of head to satisfy the WSHP's. The sizing of the
WSHP's were calculated from the building load calculations for each of the zones they
were dedicated to. The average size of the WSHP's was 2 Tons. Last was the sizing of
the outside air unit, to conform to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standard; Jefferson Elementary required 7,500 cfm of
outside air. The calculated values were sent to local industry representatives to make the
selections of the equipment for the geothermal loop.
The geothermal system design for Jefferson Elementary School was completed and
submitted to Henderson County School Corporation on October 20*^, 2019. Currently the project is pending approval by the Kentucky Department of Education, where once
approved, will be sent out for bid to the contractors.

description: In this paper we identify the geometric structures that restrict transport and mixing in perturbations of integrable volume-preserving systems with nonzero net flux. Unlike KAM tori, these objects cannot be continued to the tori present in the integrable system but are generated by resonance and have a contractible direction. We introduce a remarkably simple algorithm to analyze the behavior of these maps and obtain quantitative properties of the tori. In particular, we present assertions regarding the distribution of the escape times of the unbounded orbits, the abundance of tori, and the size of the resonant regions.

description: This paper presents a novel industrial robotic gripper with a high grasping speed (maximum: 1396 mm/s), high tip force (maximum: 80 N) for grasping, large motion range, and lightweight design (0.3 kg). To realize these features, the high-speed section of the quick-return mechanism and load-sensitive continuously variable transmission mechanism are installed in the gripper. The gripper is also equipped with a self-centering function. The high grasping speed and self-centering function improve the cycle time in robotic operations. In addition, the high tip force is advantageous for stably grasping and assembling heavy objects. Moreover, the design of the gripper reduce the gripper's proportion of the manipulator's payload, thus increasing the weight of the object that can be grasped. The gripper performance was validated through kinematic and static analyses as well as experimental evaluations. This paper also presents the analysis of the self-centering function of the developed gripper.

description: A reduction in interhemispheric connectivity is thought to contribute to the etiology of schizophrenia. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) measures the diffusion of water and can be used to describe the integrity of the corpus callosum white matter tracts, thereby providing information concerning possible interhemispheric connectivity abnormalities. Previous DTI studies in schizophrenia are inconsistent in reporting decreased Fractional Anisotropy (FA), a measure of anisotropic diffusion, within different portions of the corpus callosum. Moreover, none of these studies has investigated corpus callosum systematically, using anatomical subdivisions.

description: We studied helicity resolved Raman scattering in PtSe$_2$ flakes with different thicknesses. The peak amplitude of helicity-switched Raman scattering is significantly larger than that of helicity-conserved scattering for the in-plane $E_{g}$ mode, consistent with the Raman tensor analyses and conservation law of angular momentum. The peak amplitude of the helicity-switched $E_{g}$ mode is larger for the thinner flakes. In addition, we find Raman peaks near the energy levels of infrared (IR)-active $E_u$ and $A_{2u}$ modes, only for monolayer and a few-layers thick flakes. Interestingly, these peaks manifest themselves only for helicity-switched Raman scattering; they are nearly absent for helicity-conserved scattering.

description: As new large-scale astronomical surveys greatly increase the number of objects targeted and discoveries made, the requirement for efficient follow-up observations is crucial. Adaptive optics imaging, which compensates for the image-blurring effects of Earth's turbulent atmosphere, is essential for these surveys, but the scarcity, complexity and high demand of current systems limits their availability for following up large numbers of targets. To address this need, we have engineered and implemented Robo-AO, a fully autonomous laser adaptive optics and imaging system that routinely images over 200 objects per night with an acuity 10 times sharper at visible wavelengths than typically possible from the ground. By greatly improving the angular resolution, sensitivity, and efficiency of 1-3 m class telescopes, we have eliminated a major obstacle in the follow-up of the discoveries from current and future large astronomical surveys.

description: Poor social functioning is a hallmark of schizophrenia. The purpose of this study was to examine social functioning in individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis. Social functioning was assessed in a sample of 86 clinical high risk (CHR) individuals and compared to that of 50 first-episode of psychosis (FE) subjects, 53 multi-episode schizophrenia subjects (ME) and 55 non-psychiatric controls (NPC). Subjects were assessed on the Social Functioning Scale (SFS), the Role Functioning subscale of the Quality of Life Scale (QLS-role), and the premorbid functioning scale. On the SFS, the CHR group did not differ significantly from the FE and ME groups and all were impaired relative to the NPCs. On QLS-role, the CHR group performed significantly better than the ME patients and significantly worse than NPCs. CHR subjects did not differ from patients in terms of premorbid functioning. This study demonstrates that even at the pre-psychotic phase of the illness, these young people are demonstrating significant deficits in social functioning, supporting that social deficits are present long before the onset of psychotic symptoms.

description: We have developed an approach to determine the magnetoelastic coupling constant of magnetic layers in thin film heterostructures. The film is formed on a piezoelectric substrate between two interdigital transducers (IDT), a platform often used to construct a surface acoustic wave device. With the substrate piezoelectricity, strain is induced into the film by applying a dc voltage to the IDTs. The strain causes changes in the magnetization direction of the magnetic layer, which is probed by measuring changes, if any, in the transverse resistance of the heterostructure. We find the extracted magnetoelastic coupling constant of the magnetic layer (CoFeB) depends on the film stacking. Such change can be accounted for provided that the elastic properties of the layers that constitute the heterostructures are taken into account. The on-chip all-electrical approach described here provides a versatile means to quantitatively assess the magnetoelastic coupling constant of thin film heterostructures.

description: Studies suggest a growing interdependence between journalists and Twitter. What is behind this interdependence, and how does it manifest in news texts? We argue that social media platforms (and Twitter in particular) have situated themselves as purveyors of legitimated content, a projection that journalists have not fully challenged and at times abetted. Instead, journalists rely on these platforms both for access to powerful users and as conduits to surface the words of ‘ordinary people.’ This practice treats tweets more like content, an interchangeable building block of news, than like sources, whose ideas and messages must be verified. Using a corpus of U.S. news stories with tweets in them, we provide empirical evidence for our argument of the power of platforms to legitimate speech and shape journalism. This study illuminates journalists’ role in transferring some of the press’s authority to Twitter, thereby shaping the participants in and content of public deliberation.
Non-adiabatic effect in quantum pumping for a spin-boson system

description: We clarify the role of non-adiabatic effects in a quantum pumping for a spin-boson system. When we sinusoidally control the temperatures of two reservoirs with π/2 phase difference, we find that the pumping current strongly depends on the initial condition, and thus, the current deviates from that predicted by the adiabatic treatment. We also analytically obtain the contribution of non-adiabatic effects in the pumping current proportional to Ω^3 where Ωis the angular frequency of the temperature control. The validity of the analytic expression is verified by our numerical calculation. Moreover, we extend the steady heat fluctuation theorem to the case for slowly modulated temperatures and large transferred energies.

description: In addition to comparing drug treatment groups, the wealth of genetic and clinical data collected in the Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness study offers tremendous opportunities to study individual differences in response to treatment with antipsychotics. A major challenge, however, is how to estimate the individual responses to treatments. For this purpose, we propose a systematic method that condenses all information collected during the trials in an optimal, empirical fashion.
Towards the decentralized coordination of multiple self-adaptive systems

description: When multiple self-adaptive systems share the same environment and have common goals, they may coordinate their adaptations at runtime to avoid conflicts and to satisfy their goals. There are two approaches to coordination. (1) Logically centralized, where a supervisor has complete control over the individual self-adaptive systems. Such approach is infeasible when the systems have different owners or administrative domains. (2) Logically decentralized, where coordination is achieved through direct interactions. Because the individual systems have control over the information they share, decentralized coordination accommodates multiple administrative domains. However, existing techniques do not account simultaneously for both local concerns, e.g., preferences, and shared concerns, e.g., conflicts, which may lead to goals not being achieved as expected. Our idea to address this shortcoming is to express both types of concerns within the same constraint optimization problem. We propose CoADAPT, a decentralized coordination technique introducing two types of constraints: preference constraints, expressing local concerns, and consistency constraints, expressing shared concerns. At runtime, the problem is solved in a decentralized way using distributed constraint optimization algorithms implemented by each self-adaptive system. As a first step in realizing CoADAPT, we focus in this work on the coordination of adaptation planning strategies, traditionally addressed only with centralized techniques. We show the feasibility of CoADAPT in an exemplar from cloud computing and analyze experimentally its scalability.

description: For a shell model of the fully developed turbulence and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the Fourier space, when a Gaussian white noise is artificially added to the equation of each mode, an expression of the mean linear response function in terms of the velocity correlation functions is derived by applying the method developed for nonequilibrium Langevin systems [Harada and Sasa, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 130602 (2005)]. We verify numerically for the shell model case that the derived expression of the response function, as the noise tends to zero, converges to the response function of the noiseless shell model.

description: Digital information settings may not only offer an opportunity structure for democratic deliberation, but also facilitate the occurrence of negative phenomena – such as incivility, hate speech and false information. Even though extant literature has provided theoretical arguments for a discursive affinity between false or deceptive information and uncivil speech, we lack empirical evidence on whether and how false information and incivility converge. Against this backdrop, we rely on an extensive content analysis of fact-checked statements in the US (N = 894) to assess to what extent and how different forms of incivility are present in different degrees of false information. Our main findings illustrate that partisan attacks, negativity, and hate speech are most likely to occur in false information that deviates furthest from reality. These findings help us to dissect different degrees of untruthfulness based on their content features: Disinformation (goal-directed deception) may be distinguished from misinformation (unintentionally misleading content) based on the centrality of hostility, partisan attacks, and hate speech in the former.
All optical Controlled-NOT quantum gate based on an exciton-polariton circuit

description: We propose an implementation of a CNOT quantum gate for quantum computing based on a patterned microcavity polariton system, which can be manufactured using the modern technological facilities. The qubits are encoded in the spin of polaritons. The structure consists of two wire cavities oriented at 45 degrees with a micropillar between them. The polariton spin rotates due to the Longitudinal-Transverse splitting between polarisation eigenstates in the wires. In the pillar, the optically generated circularly polarised polariton macrooccupied state plays the role of the control qubit. Because of the spin-anisotropic polariton interaction, it induces an effective magnetic field along the Z-direction with a sign depending on the qubit value.

description: We present the results of a new analysis of the X-ray selected Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) population in the vicinity of 135 of the most massive galaxy clusters in the redshift range of 0.2 < z < 0.9 observed with Chandra. With a sample of more than 11,000 X-ray point sources, we are able to measure, for the first time, evidence for evolution in the cluster AGN population beyond the expected evolution of field AGN. Our analysis shows that overall number density of cluster AGN scales with the cluster mass as $\sim M_{500}^{-1.2}$. There is no evidence for the overall number density of cluster member X-ray AGN depending on the cluster redshift in a manner different than field AGN, nor there is any evidence that the spatial distribution of cluster AGN (given in units of the cluster overdensity radius r_500) strongly depends on the cluster mass or redshift. The $M^{-1.2 \pm 0.7}$ scaling relation we measure is consistent with theoretical predictions of the galaxy merger rate in clusters, which is expected to scale with the cluster velocity dispersion, $σ$, as $ \sim σ^{-3}$ or $\sim M^{-1}$. This consistency suggests that AGN in clusters may be predominantly triggered by galaxy mergers, a result that is further corroborated by visual inspection of Hubble images for 23 spectroscopically confirmed cluster member AGN in our sample. A merger-driven scenario for the triggering of X-ray AGN is not strongly favored by studies of field galaxies, however, suggesting that different mechanisms may be primarily responsible for the triggering of cluster and field X-ray AGN.

Role of Ca2+ in pepsin-induced coagulation and hydrolysis of casein micelles during dynamic in vitro gastric digestion

description: The structural properties of the pepsin-induced milk curd in the gastric environment could impact the emptying of the stomach contents and release of nutrients. Calcium is an important composition in milk. The effect of Ca2+ on pepsin-induced hydrolysis of κ-casein and subsequent coagulation of casein micelles was studied in a micellar casein solution at pH ~ 6.0 at 37 °C. An NaCl-supplemented micellar casein was used as a positive control to assess the effect of increased ionic strength after CaCl2 addition. Quantitative determination of the released para-κ-casein during the reaction using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography showed that specific hydrolysis of κ-casein by pepsin was little affected by the addition of either CaCl2 or NaCl. However, rheological properties and the microstructure of curds induced by pepsin hydrolysis depended markedly on the addition of salts. Addition of CaCl2 up to 17.5 mM facilitated aggregation, with decreases in coagulation time and critical hydrolysis degree, and increases in firming rate and maximum storage modulus (Gʹmax); further addition of CaCl2 (22.5 mM) resulted in a lower Gʹmax. Increased ionic strength to 52.5 mM by adding NaCl retarded coagulation and resulted in a looser curd structure. In a human gastric simulator, micellar casein, without the addition of CaCl2, did not coagulate until the pH decreased to ~ 5.0 after ~ 50 min of digestion. Addition of CaCl2 facilitated coagulation of casein micelles and resulted in more cohesive curds with dense structures during digestion, which slowed general hydrolysis of the caseins by pepsin. At the same CaCl2 concentration, a sample with higher ionic strength resulted in slower coagulation. This study provides further understanding on the effect of divalent (Ca2+) ions and ionic strength on the coagulation of casein micelles and the in vitro digestion behavior of milk.
The concept of Othering – definitions and challenges from the perspective of members of the PH-LENS research group

description: This working paper presents the project-related understandings of, and approaches to, the concept of Othering in the DFG-funded research unit PH-LENS “Refugee migration to Germany: a magnifying glass for broader public health challenges”. To map the use and understanding of this concept in Public Health research we conducted qualitative interviews with all sub-projects of PH-LENS. Othering is understood as a historically evolved concept resulting from, and maintaining, power asymmetries and dependencies leading to exclusionary social practices on individual and structural levels. As the concept of Othering is not yet widely used in Public Health research, methodological challenges have arisen in research practice. This influenced the understanding of Othering, resulted in pragmatic methodological solutions, and has led to ongoing processes of (research) reflection.
Phasons and excitations in skyrmion lattice

description: Excitations of two-dimensional skyrmion lattice are theoretically studied based on a collective coordinate description. Starting from the representation of skyrmion lattice in terms of three helices, we identify the canonical coordinates describing low energy excitations as phasons. The phason excitation spectra turn out to have one gapless mode with a quadratic dispersion and one massive mode, in agreement with previous studies. We will show that there is another collective mode governing the topological nature and the stability of skyrmion lattice and that the fluctuation of this mode leads to a screening of the topological charge of the lattice. Experimental implications of the screening effect in microwave absorption, topological Hall effect and depinning threshold current in metals are discussed.
