description: We theoretically analyze two setups of low energy single-photon counters based on Josephson junctions (JJ). For this, we propose two simple and general models, based on the macroscopic quantum tunneling formalism (MQT). The first setup is similar to the photon counter based on the "cold electron bolometer" (CEB), where the JJ replaces the CEB in the center of the superconducting antenna. In the second setup, the JJ is capacitively coupled to the antenna. We derive the Hamiltonians for the two setups and we write the Schrödinger equations taking into account both, the antenna and the JJ. The quantum particles of the MQT models are in two-dimensional potential landscapes, which are parabolic along one direction and may have the form of a washboard potential along another direction. Such a potential landscape has a series of local minima, separated by saddle points. If the particle is prepared in the initial state in the metastable "ground state" of a local minimum, then the photon absorption causes it to jump into an excited state. If the excitation energy is bigger than the potential barrier seen by the quantum particle (the difference between the "ground state" and the saddle point), the photon is detected. The models are simple and allow us to do mostly analytical calculations. We show that the two setups are equivalent form the MQT point of view, since one Hamiltonian can be transformed into the other by changes of variables. For typical values of the JJ and antenna parameters, the setups may work as counters of photons of wavelengths up to 1 cm, at least.

I Think I Like You: A Perceptual And Behavioral Analysis of Friendship Formation

Subjects: subject: Psychology

subject: Friendship--Psychological aspects

description: Previous research has focused extensively on some of the major causes of friendship formation. Specifically, the previous work may be boiled down to two primary theories: similarity in factors that are “controllable” such as personality and factors that are “uncontrollable” such as demography and structural components. The present work seeks to examine methodological shortcomings in the previous research and propose a series of studies to test the relative contributions of these theories in the formation of friendships. Study 1 examines perceptual underpinnings of friendship formation using an online sample and finds that participants overwhelmingly believe similarity in demographics is the least important factor in friendship formation. Study 2a uses a behavioral sample at two time points and finds that similarity in race and gender overwhelmingly predict friendship formation both a week and three months after meeting, whereas personality factors do not. Study 2b finds that within structurally imposed, diverse groups, the previous effects of homophilic attraction based on race and gender do not persist. Study 3 finds that similarly race and gender predict stronger ties, whereas personality does not and that being in a structurally imposed group negatively predicts best friendships one week in, but positively predicts them three months later. Implications for network diversity and broader attraction processes are discussed.

title: Representations of Fear and the Construction of Text in Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre

Subjects: subject: Representations of fear
subject: Construction of text
subject: Jane Eyre

subject: Sexual subjugation
subject: Ottoman slavery
subject: Female domination

description: This thesis closely analyses the emotion of fear in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. The hypothesis that underpins my study is that fear is fundamental to the shaping and orienting of the text. Specifically, I argue that Jane’s fear of sexual subjugation understood as bodily and sexual possession and subordination and her responses to this fear provide a thematic arc out of which Brontë develops the form and structure of the narrative. My study follows the trajectory of the thematic arc from the beginning of the narrative to the novel’s last pages. As a reading of Jane Eyre through the lens of fear my thesis offers new interpretations of key aspects of the novel. In particular, it explores Jane’s fear of sexual subjugation, analysing the ways Brontë channels this fear through the deployment of the much neglected tropes and motifs of ‘The Turk’ from the novel’s first pages. My third and fourth chapters engage in some detail with these Oriental tropes in which sexuality and female domination are implicit. Chapter Three establishes the centrality of the Turkish tropes to the red room set-piece in generating the thematic arc and the foregrounding of Jane’s fear of sexual subjugation. Chapter Four explores the ‘Oriental subtext’ that furnishes Brontë with a means of expressing the intense eroticism of Jane and Rochester’s relationship and Jane’s fear of sexual domination. In doing so, my thesis offers a reconsideration of Brontë’s ‘slavery’ metaphors and a re-engagement with the figure of Bertha Mason Rochester, both of which flow from this approach. The thesis provides strong historical and cultural evidence in support of my argument that the slavery of the novel refers to white, Ottoman slavery, rather than West Indian or Caribbean slavery. The final chapters of the thesis encapsulate Jane’s sojourn with the Rivers family at Morton and Moor House and pay particular attention to her relationship with St John Rivers as a catalyst to her overcoming fear. Jane’s ultimate return to Rochester at Ferndean, the dissolution of her fear and her happy marriage complete the trajectory of the thematic arc to the final pages of the novel. In my thesis Jane is figured as a timid, fearful child who, as a mature woman, overcomes fear and rebels against oppressive societal structures. This contrasts with depictions of Jane Eyre as a feisty, rebellious child who, as an adult, subsides into a patriarchal marriage. This alternative perspective provides a reading of the novel’s conclusion as more aesthetically satisfactory and unified than many previous scholars have proposed.
PROBING PROXIMAL FEMORAL GEOMETRY: INSIGHTS FROM NECK SHAFT ANGLE IN SOUTHEAST NIGERIAN ADULTS

description: The proximal femur, a critical skeletal structure, is susceptible to various disorders across both pediatric and adult populations. Extensive research has been dedicated to elucidating the parameters that characterize proximal femoral geometry (PFG) and the intricate relationship between the femoral neck and shaft, as noted by Ravichandrain et al. in 2011. Among the pivotal parameters defining this relationship are the Neck-Shaft Angle (NSA), Femoral Head Diameter, and Neck Version, as highlighted by Patron et al. in 2006.This comprehensive exploration focuses on unraveling the nuanced aspects of proximal femoral geometry and its associated parameters. The Neck-Shaft Angle serves as a fundamental metric, reflecting the geometric alignment between the femoral neck and shaft. Understanding the significance of this angle is crucial for diagnosing and comprehending various disorders affecting the proximal femur, both in pediatric and adult populations. Additionally, Femoral Head Diameter and Neck Version are integral components contributing to the overall characterization of proximal femoral geometry. The diameter of the femoral head and the version of the femoral neck play pivotal roles in biomechanical functionality, joint stability, and susceptibility to specific pathologies. This study aims to delve into the intricate details of these parameters, offering insights that contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the proximal femur's structural dynamics. As researchers strive to enhance diagnostic precision and treatment efficacy, a thorough comprehension of proximal femoral geometry becomes indispensable. The interplay between the femoral neck and shaft, as defined by the NSA, alongside the contribution of Femoral Head Diameter and Neck Version, forms the crux of this investigation. The findings hold promise for refining diagnostic protocols, therapeutic interventions, and preventative measures for disorders affecting the proximal femur

description: Deep neural networks as image priors have been recently introduced for problems such as denoising, super-resolution and inpainting with promising performance gains over hand-crafted image priors such as sparsity and low-rank. Unlike learned generative priors they do not require any training over large datasets. However, few theoretical guarantees exist in the scope of using untrained neural network priors for inverse imaging problems. We explore new applications and theory for untrained neural network priors. Specifically, we consider the problem of solving linear inverse problems, such as compressive sensing, as well as non-linear problems, such as compressive phase retrieval. We model images to lie in the range of an untrained deep generative network with a fixed seed. We further present a projected gradient descent scheme that can be used for both compressive sensing and phase retrieval and provide rigorous theoretical guarantees for its convergence. We also show both theoretically as well as empirically that with deep network priors, one can achieve better compression rates for the same image quality compared to hand crafted priors.

description: Trauma transforms time and narrative. Psychological trauma, the overwhelming mental response to distressing events, distorts the manner in which its victim perceives and experiences time. The representation of trauma is not uniform. Authors use different approaches to speak the unspeakable, to remember the unrememberable. This paper examines three novels and their depiction of time after trauma: Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five, Tom McCarthy’s Remainder, and Toni Morrison’s Beloved. Readings of these three novels engage with one another, enhancing the ways in which trauma can be understood. The synthesis of philosophical, scientific, and literary frameworks provides the multifaceted and necessary lens through which to examine the narrative of trauma. In each of these three novels, trauma leaves a mark—a remainder—that the passage of time cannot erase, and that even the altered temporal frameworks cannot fully represent.

description: This paper describes the conversion of a Hidden Markov Model into a sequential transducer that closely approximates the behavior of the stochastic model. This transformation is especially advantageous for part-of-speech tagging because the resulting transducer can be composed with other transducers that encode correction rules for the most frequent tagging errors. The speed of tagging is also improved. The described methods have been implemented and successfully tested on six languages.

description: This paper explores strains of resistance within the practices of competitive collegiate ballroom dancers. Drawing on the participatory epistemology of performance ethnography, it examines the ongoing project of queering ballroom, a dance form that has historically reproduced hegemonic ideas about race, gender, and sexuality. This paper identifies moments of utopian performance enacted by collegiate ballroom dancers—particularly those who are queer and/or of color—that destabilize the competitive standard of the white, heterosexual couple, facilitating new aesthetic and choreographic possibilities. Such moments flex against the boundaries of normative partnership, gesturing towards alternatives and making the collegiate ballroom community an increasingly inclusive, accessible, and creative space. In centering the embodied knowledges of collegiate dancers, this project pursues an epistemology that mirrors the proximity and vulnerability of partner dancing itself.

Sivers distribution functions of sea quark in proton with chiral Lagrangian

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We propose a mechanism for the Sivers distribution function in proton with chiral Lagrangian. By introducing the gauge link of the vector meson, the transverse momentum dependent distribution of a pion in the nucleon is re-defined which is locally $SU(2)_V$ invariant as the Lagrangian. The eikonal propagator is generated from the gauge link and this scenario is proved to be equivalent to the final state interaction. By combining the calculated splitting function and the valence $\bar{q}$ distribution in $π$ from the recent fit, the sea quark Sivers function in proton is obtained. We find reasonable numerical results for the first momentum $xΔ^Nf_{\bar{q}}^{(1)}(x)$ without any fine tuning of the free parameters.

Learning Gene Networks Underlying Clinical Phenotypes Under SNP Perturbations From Genome-Wide Data

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 170203 Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: Recent technologies are generating an abundance of genome sequence data and molecular and clinical phenotype data, providing an opportunity to understand the
genetic architecture and molecular mechanisms underlying diseases. Previous approaches have largely focused on the co-localization of single-nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) associated with clinical and expression traits, each identified from genome-wide association studies and expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping,
and thus have provided only limited capabilities for uncovering the molecular mechanisms behind the SNPs influencing clinical phenotypes. Here we aim to extract
rich information on the functional role of trait-perturbing SNPs that goes far beyond this simple co-localization. We introduce a computational framework called PerturbNet for learning the gene network that modulates the influence of SNPs on phenotypes, using SNPs as naturally occurring perturbation of a biological system. PerturbNet uses a probabilistic graphical model to directly model both the cascade of perturbation from SNPs to the gene network to the phenotype network and the network at each layer of molecular and clinical phenotypes. PerturbNet learns the
entire model by solving a single optimization problem with an extremely fast algorithm that can analyze human genome-wide data within a few hours. In our analysis
of asthma data, for a locus that was previously implicated in asthma susceptibility but for which little is known about the molecular mechanism underlying the association,
PerturbNet revealed the gene network modules that mediate the influence of the SNP on asthma phenotypes. Many genes in this network module were well supported in the literature as asthma-related.

description: The semirelativistic Hamiltonian H = β\sqrt{m^2 + p^2} + V(r), where V(r) is a central potential in R^3, is concave in p^2 and convex in p. This fact enables us to obtain complementary energy bounds for the discrete spectrum of H. By extending the notion of 'kinetic potential' we are able to find general energy bounds on the ground-state energy E corresponding to potentials with the form V = sum_{i}a_{i}f^{(i)}(r). In the case of sums of powers and the log potential, where V(r) = sum_{q\ne 0} a(q) sgn(q)r^q + a(0)ln(r), the bounds can all be expressed in the semi-classical form E \approx \min_{r}{β\sqrt{m^2 + 1/r^2} + sum_{q\ne 0} a(q)sgn(q)(rP(q))^q + a(0)ln(rP(0))}. 'Upper' and 'lower' P-numbers are provided for q = -1,1,2, and for the log potential q = 0. Some specific examples are discussed, to show the quality of the bounds.

description: This paper traces the environmental movements by indigenous peoples in indigenous territories in the Amazon. It shows the gaps between the policy that exists and the policy that should exist to best preserve the Amazon including the reasons this divergence exists. In looking for the best way to remedy this inconsistency, it becomes clear that the state often acts against the environmental interests of indigenous peoples, and against the Amazon in general, in the name of development and economic growth. Despite nominal protections, indigenous peoples tend to have little access to national or international legal recourse. As such, this paper concludes the most effective and practical way to protect indigenous rights and ensure conservation of the Amazon is to return significant to full collective property rights over as much of the land as possible to indigenous peoples.

We explore what would happen if it existed in inflationary phase. It is found that the limit cycle responsible for TC will inevitably cause the periodic oscillation of the primordial perturbation spectrum. The oscillatory patterns of the spectrum depend on the TC parameters, and so encode the crystalline patterns of TC.

description: A method is given that "inverts" a logic grammar and displays it from the point of view of the logical form, rather than from that of the word string. LR-compiling techniques are used to allow a recursive-descent generation algorithm to perform "functor merging" much in the same way as an LR parser performs prefix merging. This is an improvement on the semantic-head-driven generator that results in a much smaller search space. The amount of semantic lookahead can be varied, and appropriate tradeoff points between table size and resulting nondeterminism can be found automatically. This can be done by removing all spurious nondeterminism for input sufficiently close to the examples of a training corpus, and large portions of it for other input, while preserving completeness.

This taxon has also been recorded from the Lower Miocene of Rusinga (Lavocat, 1973) Gumba (Pickford, 1981), and Moruorot (Madden, 1972; Pickford, 1981), Kenya. It is known besides from the Lower Miocene of Uganda in the Napak area (Pickford, 1981; Winkler & Downs, 2002) and Bukwa (Pickford, 1981). Its presence is mentioned not only in the Middle Miocene of Kenya at Fort Ternan (Shipman et al., 1981: 67), but also at the (?) early Middle Miocene site of Kirimon (Pickford, 1981).
 Paraphiomys pigotti is clearly distinct from all other Thryonomyidae. It has the metalophulid II on the lower molars, contrary to the condition in Gaudeamus aegyptius, Neosciuromys africanus, Apodecter stromeri, Kochalia geespei, Paraulacodus johanesi, Paraulacodus indicus, Paraphiomys orangeus, P. renelavocati sp. nov., P. roessneri, P. australis, P. shipmani and P. afarensis. Furthermore, P. pigotti differs from P. occidentalis in having a metaloph on the upper molars and from P. hopwoodi, Paraphiomys sp. nov. from Saudi Arabia, and Epiphiomys coryndoni, in being much larger. Paraphiomys pigotti differs from Sacaresia moyaeponsi in having a mesoloph in the upper molars.

 A turano Mediterranean species known in the whole Europe (except Scandinavia and Baltic area), North Africa and Central Asia. The distribution of C. griseus in Turkey is poorly known because this taxon has been confused with C. aegyptius for a long time. PUTSHKOV (1987) brought evidence that C. aegyptius doesn’t exist in Europe nor in Turkey and that the records of this species in this region must be re-addressed to C. griseus. C. aegyptius is known from Canary archipelago to Central Asia (Iraq, Iran) through North Africa and Near East.

description: The transition from mobile to sedentary life was one of the greatest social challenges of the human past. Yet little is known about the impact of this fundamental change on social interactions amongst early Neolithic communities, which are best recorded in the Near East. The importance of social processes associated with these economic and ecological changes has long been underestimated. However, ethnographic observations demonstrate that generalized reciprocity – such as open access to resources and land – had to be reduced to a circumscribed group before regular farming and herding could be successfully established. Our aim was thus to investigate the role of familial relationships as one possible factor within this process of segregation as recorded directly in the skeletal remains, rather than based on hypothetical correlations such as house types and social units. Here we present the revealing results of the systematically recorded epigenetic characteristics of teeth and skulls of the late Pre-Pottery Neolithic community of Basta in Southern Jordan (Figure S1). Additionally, mobility was reconstructed via a systematic strontium (Sr) isotope analysis of tooth enamel of the Basta individuals. The frequency of congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors in the 9,000-year-old community of Basta is exceptionally high (35.7%). Genetic studies and a worldwide comparison of the general rate of this dental anomaly in modern and historic populations show that the enhanced frequency can only be explained by close familial relationships akin to endogamy. This is supported by strontium isotope analyses of teeth, indicating a local origin of almost all investigated individuals. Yet, the accompanying archaeological finds document far-reaching economic exchange with neighboring groups and a population density hitherto unparalleled. We thus conclude that endogamy in the early Neolithic village of Basta was not due to geographic isolation or a lack of exogamous mating partners but a socio- cultural choice.

description: The freud Python package is a powerful library for analyzing simulation data. Written with modern simulation and data analysis workflows in mind, freud provides a Python interface to fast, parallelized C++ routines that run efficiently on laptops, workstations, and supercomputing clusters. The package provides the core tools for finding particle neighbors in periodic systems, and offers a uniform API to a wide variety of methods implemented using these tools. As such, freud users can access standard methods such as the radial distribution function as well as newer, more specialized methods such as the potential of mean force and torque and local crystal environment analysis with equal ease. While many comparable tools place a heavy emphasis on reading and operating on trajectory file formats, freud instead accepts numerical arrays of data directly as inputs. By remaining agnostic to its data source, freud is suitable for analyzing any coarse-grained particle simulation, regardless of the original data representation or simulation method. When used for on-the-fly analysis in conjunction with scriptable simulation software such as HOOMD-blue, freud enables smart simulations that adapt to the current state of the system, allowing users to study phenomena such as nucleation and growth.

description: Dimensional flow, the scale dependence of the dimensionality of spacetime, is a feature shared by many theories of quantum gravity (QG). We present the first study of the consequences of QG dimensional flow for the luminosity distance scaling of gravitational waves in the frequency ranges of LIGO and LISA. We find generic modifications with respect to the standard general-relativistic scaling, largely independent of specific QG proposals. We constrain these effects using two examples of multimessenger standard sirens, the binary neutron-star merger GW170817 and a simulated supermassive black-hole merger event detectable with LISA. We apply these constraints to various QG candidates, finding that the quantum geometries of group field theory, spin foams and loop quantum gravity can give rise to observable signals in the gravitational-wave spin-2 sector. Our results complement and improve GW propagation-speed bounds on modified dispersion relations. Under more model-dependent assumptions, we also show that bounds on quantum geometry can be strengthened by solar-system tests.

description: Sexual minorities including gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual etc. identities experience generally worse health outcomes in areas of mental health and substance use when compared to their heterosexual counterparts, likely driven by a long history of marginalization and discrimination that is, in many places, still present to this day. Meyer’s minority stress theory (1995 & 2003) is a framework that is often utilized in research on sexual minorities to help explain these disparities. However, researchers have only just begun to delve into how bisexuals experience minority stress differently from their monosexual (heterosexual and gay/lesbian) counterparts. Utilizing a systematic literature search, thirty-two articles were extracted for review on this research topic. Out of the twenty-three articles that focused on theorizing bisexual-specific minority stressors, five unique stressors were identified: 1) delegitimization/erasure, 2) stereotyping, 3) twice rejection, 4) identity uncertainty/concealment, and 5) internalized monosexism/bi-negativity. Nine remaining articles were then reviewed to analyze how bisexual-specific minority stressors have been explicitly applied to mental health and/or substance use outcomes. Findings from these articles indicated that bisexual-specific minority stressors were frequently, but not always, associated with poorer mental health and/or substance use outcomes. While some studies observed no relationships, this may be a function of poor measurement of bisexual-specific minority stress and/or the bisexual label in addition to small sample sizes. More research is needed to expand the current understanding of how bisexual-specific minority stress impacts observed mental health and substance use disparities, as well as research that embraces the intersectionality of sexual orientation with additional aspects of gender, race/ethnicity, and country of origin.

description: Tailored patient information (TPI) systems are computer programs which produce personalised heath-information material for patients. TPI systems are of growing interest to the natural-language generation (NLG) community; many TPI systems have also been developed in the medical community, usually with mail-merge technology. No matter what technology is used, experience shows that it is not easy to field a TPI system, even if it is shown to be effective in clinical trials. In this paper we discuss some of the difficulties in fielding TPI systems. This is based on our experiences with 2 TPI systems, one for generating asthma-information booklets and one for generating smoking-cessation letters.
