It occurs also in Hawaii where it was introduced from the Philippines. We found it in many places, and apparently it was responsible for the scarcity of the mealybug Ferrisia virgata, as it was found associated with it as well as with other mealybugs.

description: This research is divided into two main parts: a conceptual analysis of the literature on the mother in the drama of child sexual abuse within the family; and an extended description of the personal accounts of 20 mothers, how they perceived and coped with the revelation that their husband had been sexually abusing their child. The mental health and self-concept of these 20 mothers has been compared with that in a community control sample of 44 women of similar age. The analysis of the literature has pointed to the basis of earlier studies, which alleged that mothers colluded and assisted fathers in the abuse, and that daughters either initiated sexual advances or at least were gratified by the sexual relationship. Since 1978, a number of studies have taken a new direction, arguing that fathers are aggressors, exercising power over wives and daughters in traditional, sexist ways. Wives, in this new analysis, rarely knew about the abuse, and do their best to protect daughters when the abuse is revealed. The 20 mothers were drawn from agencies practicing humanistic models of therapy. Subject to the selection biases which may be inherent in the case material, the persona I accounts of the 20 mothers strongly supported the more recent studies. The findings of the survey of mothers, although exploratory, confirm that intrafamilial child sexual abuse does greatly affect the mothers. They undergo profound emotional, cognitive and physical trauma. The majority of these mothers were also unaware of the father/daughter sexually abusive relationship. A few mothers were aware of "something being wrong" in their families, but had not been able to identify what the "something" was. The self-concept and general mental health measures used consisted of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, and the Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire. In comparing the mothers and the controls in the two areas interesting results were revealed. The mothers' scores indicated much poorer mental health than the controls; but in comparing the selfesteem scores, both groups had similar levels of self appraisal. The time spent in therapy appeared to have enabled the mothers to develop normal levels of self-esteem, even though they had experienced devastated mental health, as well as suicidal feelings and behaviour, in the immediate past. The mothers, in the families where abuse occurred, married at an earlier age than the controls. The mothers had experienced child sexual abuse more often than the controls; and slightly more mothers had experienced parental separations than the controls. interacted with the revelation of a child's These factors may have sexual abuse in putting additional strains on the mental health of the mothers. As a result of these findings, a number of recommendations for treatment and further research are made.

description: We give an overview of the work done with the Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d'Essais-Systèmes de Référence Temps-Espace (LNE-SYRTE) fountain ensemble during the last five years. After a description of the clock ensemble, comprising three fountains, FO1, FO2, and FOM, and the newest developments, we review recent studies of several systematic frequency shifts. This includes the distributed cavity phase shift, which we evaluate for the FO1 and FOM fountains, applying the techniques of our recent work on FO2. We also report calculations of the microwave lensing frequency shift for the three fountains, review the status of the blackbody radiation shift, and summarize recent experimental work to control microwave leakage and spurious phase perturbations. We give current accuracy budgets. We also describe several applications in time and frequency metrology: fountain comparisons, calibrations of the international atomic time, secondary representation of the SI second based on the 87Rb hyperfine frequency, absolute measurements of optical frequencies, tests of the T2L2 satellite laser link, and review fundamental physics applications of the LNE-SYRTE fountain ensemble. Finally, we give a summary of the tests of the PHARAO cold atom space clock performed using the FOM transportable fountain.

description: Project charter for continuation of work on the Princeton Geniza Project. The charter is the foundational document that describes the rationale, goals, plan of work, resources needed, terms and conditions, and outcomes of a Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton (hereafter CDH) project. Charters are written by core members of a project team in a series of planning meetings taking place over the course of a month. The planning process is intensive, collaborative, and requires substantial input from everyone on a team. Charters serve as formalized agreements among all team members on such crucial questions as scope, technical design, infrastructural needs, and success criteria. This is a digital copy of a “living document” at a single point in time. Charters are amended as necessary throughout the project lifecycle to document major changes and note when the “Built by CDH” Software Warranty and “Built by CDH” Long Term Service Agreement take effect, and serve as part of the CDH project archive. Certain components of the Charter, such as the Roadmap, are intended to be updated more frequently as development progresses and priorities naturally shift. For more information, see the Charter amendment policy located in the Agreements section of this Charter. CDH charters and their planning documents exist in several forms as we have refined them over the years and tailored them to the several types of projects we have supported.

description: Discrete amorphous materials are best described in terms of arbitrary networks which can be embedded in three dimensional space. Investigating the thermodynamic equilibrium as well as non-equilibrium behavior of such materials around second order phase transitions call for special techniques. We set up a renormalization group scheme by expanding an arbitrary scalar field living on the nodes of an arbitrary network, in terms of the eigenvectors of the normalized graph Laplacian. The renormalization transformation involves, as usual, the integration over the more "rapidly varying" components of the field, corresponding to eigenvectors with larger eigenvalues, and then rescaling. The critical exponents depend on the particular graph through the spectral density of the eigenvalues.

description: The multifaceted nature and swift progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) pose considerable challenges to our understanding of its evolution and interplay with comorbid conditions. This study seeks to elucidate the temporal dynamics of ALS progression and its interaction with associated diseases. We employed a principal tree-based model to decipher patterns within clinical data derived from a population-based database in Taiwan. The disease progression was portrayed as branched trajectories, each path representing a series of distinct stages. Each stage embodied the cumulative occurrence of co-existing diseases, depicted as nodes on the tree, with edges symbolizing potential transitions between these linked nodes. Our model identified eight distinct ALS patient trajectories, unveiling unique patterns of disease associations at various stages of progression. These patterns may suggest underlying disease mechanisms or risk factors. This research re-conceptualizes ALS progression as a migration through diverse stages, instead of the perspective of a sequence of isolated events. This new approach illuminates patterns of disease association across different progression phases. The insights obtained from this study hold the potential to inform doctors regarding the development of personalized treatment strategies, ultimately enhancing patient prognosis and quality of life.
Red sequence modal colour gradients across intermediate X-ray luminosity galaxy clusters

description: [Abridged] We assemble a sample of 45 intermediate X-ray luminosity galaxy clusters at low redshifts using SDSS data to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the photometric variation of red sequence modal galaxy colours with environment. The clusters span a range of Bautz-Morgan types and evolutionary stages and are representative of the global underlying intermediate L_X cluster sample. We define cluster membership using SDSS spectroscopic data and characterize the clusters by deriving new recession velocities, velocity dispersions and other parameters for each. We construct colour-magnitude diagrams for each of these clusters and obtain the position of the red sequence using a robust line fitting algorithm with a Lorentzian merit function. In doing so, we describe a population of discordant points on the colour-magnitude plane which are the result of photometric blending, dust and other causes. By fitting the clusters with Schechter functions to derive M* values in each SDSS passband, we combine the red sequence of the galaxy clusters together to form a composite sample. We detail how the modal colour value of the red sequence varies with radius from the centre of this composite cluster and local galaxy density for all SDSS colours. In agreement with previous studies, these colours are shown to systematically move blueward with increasing distance from the cluster centres, or equivalently lower local galaxy density, whilst the width of the red sequence increases. This supports the idea that the galaxies at the outskirts of these clusters have younger luminosity-weighted ages than those at the core indicating their star formation has been quenched more recently than in the core. A comparison of our derived gradients in (g-r) with earlier works tentatively suggests that these gradients vary with redshift which would reflect the hierarchical build-up of the red sequence over time.

description: Topological insulator (TI) states have been demonstrated in materials with narrow gap and large spin-orbit interactions (SOI). Here we demonstrate that nanoscale engineering can also give rise to a TI state, even in conventional semiconductors with sizable gap and small SOI. Based on advanced first-principles calculations combined with an effective low-energy k*p Hamiltonian, we show that the intrinsic polarization of materials can be utilized to simultaneously reduce the energy gap and enhance the SOI, driving the system to a TI state. The proposed system consists of ultrathin InN layers embedded into GaN, a layer structure that is experimentally achievable.

description: The unipolar induction DC circuit model, originally developed by Goldreich & Lynden-Bell for the Jupiter-Io system, has been applied to different types of binary systems in recent years. We show that there exists an upper limit to the magnetic interaction torque and energy dissipation rate in such model. This arises because when the resistance of the circuit is too small, the large current flow severely twists the magnetic flux tube connecting the two binary components, leading to breakdown of the circuit. Applying this limit, we find that in coalescing neutron star binaries, magnetic interactions produce negligible correction to the phase evolution of the gravitational waveform, even for magnetar-like field strengths. However, energy dissipation in the binary magnetosphere may still give rise to electromagnetic radiation prior to the final merger. For ultra-compact white dwarf binaries, we find that DC circuit does not provide adequate energy dissipation to explain the observed X-ray luminosities of several sources. For exoplanetary systems containing close-in Jupiters or super-Earths, magnetic torque and dissipation are negligible, except possibly during the early T Tauri phase, when the stellar magnetic field is stronger than 10^3G.

description: Revisiting canonical integration of the classical solid near a uniform rotation, canonical action angle coordinates, hyperbolic and elliptic, are constructed in terms of various power series with coefficients which are polynomials in a variable $r^2$ depending on the inertia moments. Normal forms are derived via the analysis of a relative cohomology problem and shown to be obtainable without the use of ellitptic integrals (unlike the derivation of the action-angles). Results and conjectures also emerge about the properties of the above polynomials and the location of their roots. In particular a class of polynomials with all roots on the unit circle arises.

description: The Gerdjikov-Ivanov (GI) system of $q$ and $r$ is defined by a quadratic polynomial spectral problem with $2 \times 2$ matrix coefficients. Each element of the matrix of n-fold Darboux transformation of this system is expressed by a ratio of $(n+1)\times (n+1)$ determinant and $n\times n$ determinant of eigenfunctions, which implies the determinant representation of $q^{[n]}$ and $r^{[n]}$ generated from known solution $q$ and $r$. By choosing some special eigenvalues and eigenfunctions according to the reduction conditions $q^{[n]}=-(r^{[n]})^*$, the determinant representation of $q^{[n]}$ provides some new solutions of the GI equation. As examples, the breather solutions and rogue wave of the GI is given explicitly by two-fold DT from a periodic "seed" with a constant amplitude.

description: We have developed a method for analyzing the kinematic association of isolated relativistic objects - possible remnants of disrupted close binary systems. We investigate pairs of fairly young radio pulsars with known proper motions and estimated distances (dispersion measures) that are spaced no more than 2-3 kpc apart. Using a specified radial velocity distribution for these objects, we have constructed 100-300 thousand trajectories of their possible motion in the Galactic gravitational field on a time scale of several million years. The probabilities of their close encounters at epochs consistent with the age of the younger pulsar in the pair are analyzed. When these probabilities exceed considerably their reference values obtained by assuming a purely random encounter between the pulsars under consideration, we conclude that the objects may have been gravitationally bound in the past. As a result, we have detected six pulsar pairs (J0543+2329/J0528+2200, J1453-6413/J1430-6623, J2354+6155/J2321+6024, J1915+1009/J1909+1102, J1832-0827/J1836-1008, and J1917+1353/J1926+1648) that are companions in disrupted binary systems with a high probability. Estimates of their kinematic ages and velocities at binary disruption and at the present epoch are provided.

description: We present a comprehensive catalog of ultraviolet HST/STIS and FUSE absorbers in the low-redshift IGM at z<0.4. The catalog draws from the extensive literature on IGM absorption, and it reconciles discrepancies among previous catalogs through a critical evaluation of all reported absorption features in light of new HST/COS data. We report on 746 HI absorbers down to a rest-frame equivalent width of 12 milliAngstroms over a maximum redshift path length Deltaz=5.38. We also confirm 111 OVI absorbers, 29 CIV absorbers, and numerous absorption features due to other metal ions. We characterize the distribution of absorber line frequency as a function of column density as a power law, dN/dz \propto N^{-beta}, where beta=2.08+-0.12 for OVI and beta=1.68+-0.03 for HI. Utilizing a more sophisticated accounting technique than past work, the catalog accounts for ~43% of the baryons: 24+-2% in the photoionized Ly-alpha forest and 19+-2% in the WHIM as traced by OVI. We discuss the large systematic effects of various assumed metallicities and ionization states on these calculations, and we implement recent simulation results in our estimates.

description: We study 6d N=(2,0) theory of type SU(N) compactified on Riemann surfaces with finite area, including spheres with fewer than three punctures. The Higgs branch, whose metric is inversely proportional to the total area of the Riemann surface, is discussed in detail. We show that the zero-area limit, which gives us a genuine 4d theory, can involve a Wigner-Inonu contraction of global symmetries of the six-dimensional theory. We show how this explains why subgroups of SU(N) can appear as the gauge group in the 4d limit. As a by-product we suggest that half-BPS codimension-two defects in the six-dimensional (2,0) theory have an operator product expansion whose operator product coefficients are four-dimensional field theories.

description: This thesis proposes a new self-tuning control strategy. This control strategy makes use of the recursive least squares identification technique with a variable forgetting factor and the poleshifting self-tuning control method with the variable pole-shifting factor. The use of the variable forgetting factor guarantees good parameter tracking and the variable pole-shifting factor always results in a very smooth control action and a very stable closed-loop system. A self-tuning power system stabilizer based on the proposed self-tuning control strategy is investigated extensively in the thesis from different aspects. A single-machine infinite -bus system is used to simulate the property of the proposed stabilizer in improving the system dynamic stability and transient stability. A multi-machine power system with an infinite bus is used to investigate the ability of the proposed stabilizer to cooperate with other stabilizers and the inter-connections between the various parts of a large power system. A multi-machine model with the multi-mode oscillations is used to examine the performance of the proposed stabilizer in damping out both the local and the inter-tie oscillations. A single-machine infinite-bus system with the series capacitor compensated transmission line is used to study the interaction between the proposed stabilizer and the sub-synchronous resonance problem. All these results show that the proposed stabilizer works effectively in various power system situations. A dual rate self-tuning control technique presented in this thesis aims to further improve the performance of the proposed self-tuning control strategy. In this technique the system identification and the control are performed separately. In this way, the control rate of the micro-computer based self-tuning controller can be increased considerably. Simulation of a stabilizer using dual rate self tuning control technique shows a greatly improved performance. Implementation of the dual rate self-tuning power system stabilizer and the on-line test results are also presented in this thesis. The laboratory environment implementation results verify the theoretical analysis and the simulation results, and show the possibility of the practical use of the proposed self-tuning stabilizer.

description: Using precise lattice QCD computations of the baryon spectrum, we present the first direct evidence for the presence of contributions to the baryon masses which are non-analytic in the light quark masses; contributions which are often denoted "chiral logarithms". We isolate the poor convergence of SU(3) baryon chiral perturbation theory to the flavor-singlet mass combination. The flavor-octet baryon mass splittings, which are corrected by chiral logarithms at next to leading order in SU(3) chiral perturbation theory, yield baryon-pion axial coupling constants D, F, C and H consistent with QCD values; the first evidence of chiral logarithms in the baryon spectrum. The Gell-Mann--Okubo relation, a flavor-27 baryon mass splitting, which is dominated by chiral corrections from light quark masses, provides further evidence for the presence of non-analytic light quark mass dependence in the baryon spectrum; we simultaneously find the GMO relation to be inconsistent with the first few terms in a taylor expansion in m_s - m_l, which must be valid for small values of this SU(3) breaking parameter. Additional, more definitive tests of SU(3) chiral perturbation theory will become possible with future, more precise, lattice calculations.

description: A C_k-move is a local move that involves (k+1) strands of a link. A C_k-move is called a C_k^d-move if these (k+1) strands belong to mutually distinct components of a link. Since a C_k^d-move preserves all k-component sublinks of a link, we consider the converse implication: are two links with common k-component sublinks related by a sequence of C_k^d-moves? We show that the answer is yes under certain assumptions, and provide explicit counter-examples for more general situations. In particular, we consider (n,k)-Brunnian links, i.e. n-component links whose k-component sublinks are all trivial. We show that such links can be deformed into a trivial link by C_k^d-moves, thus generalizing a result of Habiro and Miyazawa-Yasuhara, and deduce some results on finite type invariants of (n,k)-Brunnian links.

Subjects: Prior and posterior probabilities; Bayes-Laplace solution; Beta distribution; Sex ratio at birth

description: In this first paper of 1911 relating to the sex ratio at birth, Gini repurposed a Laplace’s succession rule according to a Bayesian version. The Gini's intuition consisted in assuming for prior probability a Beta type distribution and introducing the "method of results (direct and indirect)" for the determination of  prior probabilities according to the statistical frequency obtained from statistical data.

description: With its unprecedented light-collecting area for night-sky observations, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) holds great potential for also optical stellar astronomy, in particular as a multi-element intensity interferometer for realizing imaging with sub-milliarcsecond angular resolution. Such an order-of-magnitude increase of the spatial resolution achieved in optical astronomy will reveal the surfaces of rotationally flattened stars with structures in their circumstellar disks and winds, or the gas flows between close binaries. Image reconstruction is feasible from the second-order coherence of light, measured as the temporal correlations of arrival times between photons recorded in different telescopes. This technique (once pioneered by Hanbury Brown and Twiss) connects telescopes only with electronic signals and is practically insensitive to atmospheric turbulence and to imperfections in telescope optics. Detector and telescope requirements are very similar to those for imaging air Cherenkov observatories, the main difference being the signal processing (calculating cross correlations between single camera pixels in pairs of telescopes). Observations of brighter stars are not limited by sky brightness, permitting efficient CTA use during also bright-Moon periods. While other concepts have been proposed to realize kilometer-scale optical interferometers of conventional amplitude (phase-) type, both in space and on the ground, their complexity places them much further into the future than CTA, which thus could become the first kilometer-scale optical imager in astronomy.

GROVE CITY COLLEGE V. BELL (1984): CONSERVATIVE EDUCATION ON TRIAL, AND THE LEGACY OF J. HOWARD PEW
Creators: name: Lindey, Devan C
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Historical studies not elsewhere classified

description: Between 1977 and 1984, Grove City College engaged in a legal dispute with the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare as to whether the college needed to sign federally mandated Title IX compliance forms for its students to receive federal funding. This project uses the culmination of the legal dispute, the Supreme Court case Grove City College v. Bell (1984) to engage with discussions about philanthropy’s role in shaping education, the political effects of that education, the politicization of interpretations of Supreme Court decisions, and the continued role of education in shaping a conservative intellectual elite. Throughout much of the twentieth century, oil magnate and conservative businessman J. Howard Pew funded Grove City College’s building projects and gave countless speeches at the college. By relying on his money, Pew steered the private college’s curriculum and student life to embrace Judeo-Christian norms, cultural conservatism, and libertarian economics. These values shaped the conservative response to federal regulations in the form of Title IX as Grove City College sought to defend those values. This sociolegal history of the case reveals the intellectual roots of Grove City College’s retaliation. Furthermore, this project bridges legal and political history as I show that Supreme Court decisions were shaped by activists and politicians. We must look beyond case law. The project connects grassroots activism and political decisions as both meted out the future of conservatism in the public square. By conflating popularity with democracy, Ronald Reagan and his Department of Justice tried to appease all sides in the legal conflict as he made overtures to the antifeminist New Right. This project then touches on the battle over minority rule and majoritarian democracy as Reagan was at odds with the New Right as he subscribed to the latter. My work on Grove City College v. Bell (1984) then pushes our discussion of political history beyond a red and blue dichotomy as Democrats and moderate Republicans formed a bipartisan coalition to legislatively overturn the Supreme Court’s decision. Grove City College’s conservative think tank acts as a new endeavor to inform the public square as to the values of conservatism. Long since passed away, Pew’s values live on in the Institute for Faith and Freedom. By observing the branding of the organization and its connection to the college’s history, this work shows the fluidity and adaptability of conservatism as it occurs on campus and how it intertwines with national conversations today with which conservatism is concerned.
Association between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors use and long-term metabolic effects in adolescence : a propensity score matched cohort study

description: Purpose: To investigate the association between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use and the incidence of metabolic adverse effects in an adolescent population. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of adolescent patients (age 11-21 years) with a mental health disorder (including anxiety disorders, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder) in the TriNetX research network from January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2017. The index event was defined as the first instance of a mental health disorder diagnosis. Patients were stratified by SSRI use or non-use. Propensity score matching was used to adjust for potential confounding variables, such as age, gender, race, and other conditions. Outcomes were analyzed 3 to 5 years after the index event through December 31, 2022; this included documented BMI > 30 kg/m², diagnosis of diabetes and other metabolic diseases, and associated laboratory tests and medications. Results: A total of 172,478 adolescent patients met inclusion criteria. After propensity score matching, 37,808 patients were included in each group. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. Patients were predominantly female (64%) and white (72%) with a mean age of 16. The mean body mass index was 24 kg/m² (SD 6.07) in the SSRI group and 24.2 kg/m² (SD 6.08) in the non-SSRI group. The incidence of being overweight and obesity was higher in the SSRI group (36.0 per 1000 patients) compared to the control group (31.1 per 1000 patients) during follow up (p<0.0001). No significant differences were found between groups in the incidence of other metabolic diseases or laboratory test results. Conclusions: This retrospective cohort study suggests an association between SSRI use and an increased incidence of obesity, but no difference in diabetes and metabolic disorders. While the findings suggest that this specific treatment does not increase metabolic risk, it is important to continue monitoring for potential long-term effects.
