description: A symmetric periodic orbit is a special kind of periodic orbit that can also be regarded as a Lagrangian intersection point. Therefore it has two Maslov indices whose difference is the Hormander index. In this paper we provide a formula for the Hormander index of a symmetric periodic orbit and its iterates in terms of Chebyshev polynomials.

We Must Stop Running Now: Neighborhood Change, Metropolitan Politics, and the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs in Chicago

description: In 1951, nearly all of the Chicagoland Jewish population was concentrated in the city. Just 30 years later, a strong majority of the population had moved to the suburbs, chasing better housing and schools, and fleeing the growing Black populations on Chicago’s South and West Sides. Despite the newfound luxuries of the community’s increasing affluence and distance from urban life, however, many Chicago Jews strove to maintain a connection to the city and a commitment to reducing urban poverty and racial segregation. The Jewish Council on Urban Affairs (JCUA), a local organization founded in 1964, continued to advocate for liberal Jewish involvement in urban advocacy in the later 1960s and 1970s, despite the changing demographics and increasingly separatist politics of these years. In this thesis, I argue that the JCUA serves as a powerful counterexample to existing scholarly narratives of growing Jewish distance from urban life and politics from the 1960s to the 1980s, as an organization that successfully adapted liberal interracial politics in a way that viably, if imperfectly, forged a path for urban Jewish social justice activism.

description: A search for the 4He-eta bound state via exclusive measurement of the excitation function for the dd->3Heppi- reaction, was performed at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY-Juelich with the WASA-at-COSY detection system. The data were taken during a slow acceleration of the beam from 2.185 GeV/c to 2.400 GeV/c crossing the kinematic threshold for the eta production in the dd -> 4He-eta reaction at 2.336 GeV/c. The corresponding excess energy in the 4He-eta system varied from -51.4 MeV to 22 MeV. The shape of the excitation function for the dd -> 3Heppi- was examined. No signal of the 4He-eta bound state was observed in the excitation function.

SAWdoubler: a program for counting self-avoiding walks

description: This article presents SAWdoubler, a package for counting the total number Z(N) of self-avoiding walks (SAWs) on a regular lattice by the length-doubling method, of which the basic concept has been published previously by us. We discuss an algorithm for the creation of all SAWs of length N, efficient storage of these SAWs in a tree data structure, and an algorithm for the computation of correction terms to the count Z(2N) for SAWs of double length, removing all combinations of two intersecting single-length SAWs. We present an efficient numbering of the lattice sites that enables exploitation of symmetry and leads to a smaller tree data structure; this numbering is by increasing Euclidean distance from the origin of the lattice. Furthermore, we show how the computation can be parallelised by distributing the iterations of the main loop of the algorithm over the cores of a multicore architecture. Experimental results on the 3D cubic lattice demonstrate that Z(28) can be computed on a dual-core PC in only 1 hour and 40 minutes, with a speedup of 1.56 compared to the single-core computation and with a gain by using symmetry of a factor of 26. We present results for memory use and show how the computation is made to fit in 4 Gbyte RAM. It is easy to extend the SAWdoubler software to other lattices; it is publicly available under the GNU LGPL license.

description: We use data on variable stars from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE III) survey to determine the three-dimensional structure of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Deriving individual distances to RR Lyrae stars and Cepheids we investigate the distribution of these tracers of the old and young population in the SMC. Photometrically estimated metallicities are used to determine the distances to 1494 RR Lyrae stars, which have typical ages greater than 9 Gyr. For 2522 Cepheids, with ages of a few tens to a few hundred Myr, distances are calculated using their period-luminosity relation. Individual reddening estimates from the intrinsic color of each star are used to obtain high precision three-dimensional maps. The distances of RR Lyrae stars and Cepheids are in very good agreement with each other. The median distance of the RR Lyrae stars is found to be 61.5 +/- 3.4 kpc. For the Cepheids a median distance of 63.1 +/- 3.0 kpc is obtained. Both populations show an extended scale height, with 2.0 +/- 0.4 kpc for the RR Lyrae stars and 2.7 +/- 0.3 kpc for the Cepheids. This confirms the large depth of the SMC suggested by a number of earlier studies. The young population is very differently oriented than the old stars. While we find an inclination angle of 7° +/- 15° and a position angle of 83° +/- 21° for the RR Lyrae stars, for the Cepheids an inclination of 74° +/- 9° and a position angle of 66° +/- 15° is obtained. The RR Lyrae stars show a fairly homogeneous distribution, while the Cepheids follow roughly the distribution of the bar with their northeastern part being closer to us than the southwestern part of the bar. Interactions between the SMC, LMC, and Milky Way are presumably responsible for the tilted, elongated structure of the young population of the SMC.

Driving the Opening Wedge: The 1948 Anti-Lynching Bill and the Fracturing of the Solid South

description: The expansion of civil rights for Black Americans was a crucial driver of the South’s political realignment with a national conservative movement. As early as 1948, Southern opposition to civil rights, fueled by President Harry Truman’s civil rights agenda, created the first cracks in the “Solid South.” Of the three major civil rights legislative initiatives in 1948, the anti-lynching bill has remained the most unstudied and underappreciated by historians as compared to its anti-poll tax and anti-employment discrimination counterparts. This thesis examines the proposed federal anti-lynching law within the contentious presidential election of 1948 and the period of heightened awareness and support for civil rights following the Second World War. This history utilized the archives of national newspapers, the NAACP, and the legislation’s Southern congressional opponents to analyze the Republican campaign to make anti-lynching legislation federal law as well as the Southern congressmen’s rhetorical and practical strategies, which resulted in the defeat of the anti-lynching bill. The 1948 anti-lynching bill revealed the legislative power of Southern congressmen, exposed the limits of the Republican commitment to civil rights, and catalyzed Southern demand for an alternative, conservative political faction. The 1948 anti-lynching bill and postwar federal support for civil rights more generally provide a compelling case to more closely consider 1948 as a moment of significant partisan realignment in American political history.

description: We use large cosmological Smoothed-Particle-Hydrodynamics simulations to study the formation and evolution of sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs). In our previous work, we studied the statistical properties of ultra-violet selected star-forming galaxies at high redshifts. We populate the same cosmological simulations with SMGs by calculating the reprocess of stellar light by dust grains into far-infrared to millimetre wavebands in a self-consistent manner. We generate light-cone outputs to compare directly the statistical properties of the simulated SMGs with available observations. Our model reproduces the submm source number counts and the clustering amplitude. We show that bright SMGs with flux $S > 1$ mJy reside in halos with mass of $\sim 10^{13} M_{\odot}$ and have stellar masses greater than $10^{11}\sim \rm M_{\odot}$. The angular cross-correlation between the SMGs and Lyman-$α$ emitters is significantly weaker than that between the SMGs and Lyman-break galaxies. The cross-correlation is also weaker than the auto-correlation of the SMGs. The redshift distribution of the SMGs shows a broad peak at $z \sim 2$, where Bright SMGs contribute significantly to the global cosmic star formation rate density. Our model predicts that there are hundreds of SMGs with $S > 0.1$ mJy at $z > 5$ per 1 square degree field. Such SMGs can be detected by ALMA.

Local Immigration Enforcement and Crime in the United States: A Nationwide Analysis of the 287(g) Program
Creators: name: Peters, Amanda
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: immigration policy
subject: 287(g) program
subject: local immigration law
subject: propensity-score matching

description: The 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) created the 287(g) program, which authorizes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to delegate immigration enforcement to local law enforcement agencies. Under the program, city police departments, county sheriffs’ offices, and state law enforcement bodies voluntarily apply to the 287(g) program. If selected, ICE provides training in immigration enforcement practices to employees of the law enforcement agency, who are authorized to investigate individuals’ immigration statuses and detain undocumented individuals prior to immigration proceedings. The earliest 287(g) agreements between ICE and local law enforcement agencies were signed in 2002, and the program continues to this day. Proponents of 287(g) agreements argue that participating law enforcement agencies identify and detain dangerous “criminal aliens,” improving public safety and quality of life. Opponents claim that the 287(g) program undermines trust between immigrant communities and law enforcement, is costly for local law enforcement agencies, and contributes to the phenomenon of “crimmigration,” in which criminal and immigration law increasingly overlap. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of 287(g) programs, I examine whether these programs reduce violent crime. In particular, I use propensity-score matching to pair counties which implemented 287(g) agreements with comparable counties that did not. I then use a differences-in-differences design to compare changes in county crime rates in the treatment and control groups. I find that after adjusting for potential confounding variables, 287(g) agreements have no effect on the trend in violent crime rates. I then repeat my analysis using only murder and nonnegligent manslaughter to assess whether 287(g) agreements cause underreporting of other violent crimes. I observe an increase in murders in 287(g) jurisdictions relative to other counties, suggesting that underreporting of other violent crimes may have occurred. This analysis suggests that 287(g) agreements may undercut public safety by damaging trust between immigrant communities and law enforcement. This study suggests that the evidence does not support the adoption of 287(g) agreements as a public safety measure and that more lenient policing practices towards immigrants may have a neutral or positive effect on public safety.

title: Biphasic Gene Electrotransfer Enhances Gene Delivery In Vitro
Creators: name: Bui, John
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The application of short, pulsed electric fields to eukaryotic cells and tissues has been shown to permeabilize cells. This phenomenon has been used for clinical applications for irreversible electroporation of cancer cells or for molecule delivery for drug or gene therapies. Typically, a monophasic (monopolar) pulse train is used; however, recent studies have explored the possibility of using biphasic (often referred to as bipolar) pulses, primarily for irreversible electroporation (IRE), which report reduced muscle contraction during pulse train application compared to monophasic pulses. Additional studies show improved transfection efficiency using biphasic pulses, conversely, with low cell viability. The purpose of this current study is to evaluate parameters of biphasic pulses for improving gene transfer in vitro. B16-F10, mouse melanoma cells were cultured, suspended, and treated with microsecond pulsed electric fields in a 1mm cuvette. Various pulsing parameters were used to deliver either propidium iodide (PI) or plasmid DNA encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) to observe cell permeabilization and transfection. Cell viability was evaluated via PrestoBlue assay. Increasing pulse trains to 8 and increasing positive pulse width to 100 us at low voltage of 40 V, both resulted in significant changes in transfection efficiency with reduced viability. On the other hand, increasing voltage to 120 V shows significantly enhanced transfection efficiency with low viability. Lastly, reducing positive pulse width to 20 us at 120 V applied, resulted in high transfection efficiency at 43% with high cell viability at 84%. This study shows that biphasic pulses enhance gene delivery of plasmid encoding GFP into B16-F10 and maintain high cell viability in vitro. These results are consistent with earlier studies that gene delivery enhancement is feasible with biphasic pulses. Additional, future studies will evaluate whether such gene delivery enhancement can be maintained in excitable cells without actional potential activation.

description: We investigate the use of optical photometric variability to select and identify blazars in large-scale time-domain surveys, in part to aid in the identification of blazar counterparts to the ~30% of gamma-ray sources in the Fermi 2FGL catalog still lacking reliable associations. Using data from the optical LINEAR asteroid survey, we characterize the optical variability of blazars by fitting a damped random walk model to individual light curves with two main model parameters, the characteristic timescales of variability (tau), and driving amplitudes on short timescales (sigma). Imposing cuts on minimum tau and sigma allows for blazar selection with high efficiency E and completeness C. To test the efficacy of this approach, we apply this method to optically variable LINEAR objects that fall within the several-arcminute error ellipses of gamma-ray sources in the Fermi 2FGL catalog. Despite the extreme stellar contamination at the shallow depth of the LINEAR survey, we are able to recover previously-associated optical counterparts to Fermi AGN with E > 88% and C = 88% in Fermi 95% confidence error ellipses having semimajor axis r < 8'. We find that the suggested radio counterpart to Fermi source 2FGL J1649.6+5238 has optical variability consistent with other gamma-ray blazars, and is likely to be the gamma-ray source. Our results suggest that the variability of the non-thermal jet emission in blazars is stochastic in nature, with unique variability properties due to the effects of relativistic beaming. After correcting for beaming, we estimate that the characteristic timescale of blazar variability is ~3 years in the rest-frame of the jet, in contrast with the ~320 day disk flux timescale observed in quasars. The variability-based selection method presented will be useful for blazar identification in time-domain optical surveys, and is also a probe of jet physics.

description: The Chinese born spiritual teacher “Dr. Zhi Gang Sha” makes up part of a growing global healers market and provides various techniques of purported ancient Chinese origin in his centres in Canada and in Europe. Most of his teachings belong to the vast and heterogeneous array of practices, methods, and beliefs which developed within the modern qigong scene that emerged in China in the second half of the twentieth century and spread into the West in close connection with the so-called “Traditional Chinese Medicine”. This article takes a look at a rather recent religious offspring with a particular focus on his innovative take on the internet. This approach has its roots in a specific history of the internet in the Chinese context which is commonly referred to as “cyber-sectarianism”. The movement founded and led by Zhi Gang Sha may be interpreted as a continuation of major techniques and strategies applied by cyber-sectarian movements which emerged during the 1990s and the 2000s.

description: We study the gauge dynamics of an SO(4)-gauge theory with two Dirac Wilson fermions transforming according to the vector representation of the gauge group. We determine the lattice phase diagram by locating the strong coupling bulk phase transition line and the zero PCAC mass line. We present results for the spectrum of the theory. In particular we measure the pseudoscalar, vector and axial meson masses. The data are consistent with a chiral symmetry breaking scenario rather than a conformal one. When used to break the electroweak symmetry dynamically the model leads to a natural dark matter candidate.

description: Successful attempts to predict judges' votes shed light into how legal decisions are made and, ultimately, into the behavior and evolution of the judiciary. Here, we investigate to what extent it is possible to make predictions of a justice's vote based on the other justices' votes in the same case. For our predictions, we use models and methods that have been developed to uncover hidden associations between actors in complex social networks. We show that these methods are more accurate at predicting justice's votes than forecasts made by legal experts and by algorithms that take into consideration the content of the cases. We argue that, within our framework, high predictability is a quantitative proxy for stable justice (and case) blocks, which probably reflect stable a priori attitudes toward the law. We find that U. S. Supreme Court justice votes are more predictable than one would expect from an ideal court composed of perfectly independent justices. Deviations from ideal behavior are most apparent in divided 5-4 decisions, where justice blocks seem to be most stable. Moreover, we find evidence that justice predictability decreased during the 50-year period spanning from the Warren Court to the Rehnquist Court, and that aggregate court predictability has been significantly lower during Democratic presidencies. More broadly, our results show that it is possible to use methods developed for the analysis of complex social networks to quantitatively investigate historical questions related to political decision-making.

description: Determining the virial factor of the broad-line region (BLR) gas is crucial for calibrating AGN black hole mass estimators, since the measured line-of-sight velocity needs to be converted into the intrinsic virial velocity. The average virial factor has been empirically calibrated based on the M-sigma relation of quiescent galaxies, but the claimed values differ by a factor of two in recent studies. We investigate the origin of the difference by measuring the M-sigma relation using an updated galaxy sample from the literature, and explore the dependence of the virial factor on various fitting methods. We find that the discrepancy is primarily caused by the sample selection, while the difference stemming from the various regression methods is marginal. However, we generally prefer the FITEXY and Bayesian estimators based on Monte Carlo simulations for the M-sigma relation. In addition, the choice of independent variable in the regression leads to ~0.2 dex variation in the virial factor inferred from the calibration process. Based on the determined virial factor, we present the updated M-sigma relation of local active galaxies.

description: We measure the transport properties of mechanically strained single crystals of BaFe$_{2}$(As$_{1-x}$P$_{x}$)$_{2}$ over a wide range of $x$. The Néel transition is extremely sensitive to stress and this sensitivity increases as optimal doping is approached, even though the transition itself is strongly suppressed. Furthermore, we observe significant changes in the superconducting transition temperature with applied strain, which mirror changes as a function of the composition $x$. These experiments are a direct illustration of the intimate coupling between different degrees of freedom in iron-based superconductors, revealing the importance of magneto-elastic coupling to the magnetic and superconducting transition temperatures.

description: This paper uses original data obtained from 10 California law enforcement agencies (police and sheriff’s departments), drawing from literature on social psychology, feminist IR theory, and police culture and militarization, to further understandings of the ‘cult of masculinity’ that has long been associated with policing. I begin by defining and adapting the concept of militarized masculinities, or the notion that masculinity can be acquired by becoming a soldier or in this case, a law enforcement officer. I argue that this concept can be readily applied to police departments as well as militaries. Due to historical gender norms in policing and society at large, the belief that the ideal police officer is male persists, despite female contributions to police-work throughout history. The militarized masculinities within police culture departments are a promising starting point to further understanding of why police-work remains a predominantly male enterprise in the U.S. (87 percent of sworn officers nationwide identify as male, compared to only 38 percent of civilian staff identifying as male). In addition, militarized masculinity may contribute to violent escalation in police encounters, and decreased public trust in law enforcement. Changing police culture to reduce militarized masculinity can help departments attract a greater number and diversity of applicants, build community support for and greater investment in public safety, and help reimagine policing as we know it into a more inclusive and effective endeavor.

description: We present some exact results on bond percolation. We derive a relation that specifies the consequences for bond percolation quantities of replacing each bond of a lattice $Λ$ by $\ell$ bonds connecting the same adjacent vertices, thereby yielding the lattice $Λ_\ell$. This relation is used to calculate the bond percolation threshold on $Λ_\ell$. We show that this bond inflation leaves the universality class of the percolation transition invariant on a lattice of dimensionality $d \ge 2$ but changes it on a one-dimensional lattice and quasi-one-dimensional infinite-length strips. We also present analytic expressions for the average cluster number per vertex and correlation length for the bond percolation problem on the $N \to \infty$ limits of several families of $N$-vertex graphs. Finally, we explore the effect of bond vacancies on families of graphs with the property of bounded diameter as $N \to \infty$.

description: Hadronic gamma-ray emission from supernova remnants (SNRs) is an important tool to test shock acceleration of cosmic ray protons. Tycho is one of nearly a dozen Galactic SNRs which are suggested to emit hadronic gamma-ray emission. Among them, however, it is the only one in which the hadronic emission is proposed to arise from the interaction with low-density (~0.3 cm^{-3}) ambient medium. Here we present an alternative hadronic explanation with a modest conversion efficiency (of order 1%) for this young remnant. With such an efficiency, a normal electron-proton ratio (of order 10^{-2}) is derived from the radio and X-ray synchrotron spectra and an average ambient density that is at least one-order-of-magnitude higher is derived from the hadronic gamma-ray flux. This result is consistent with the multi-band evidence of the presence of dense medium from the north to the east of the Tycho SNR. The SNR-cloud association, in combination with the HI absorption data, helps to constrain the so-far controversial distance to Tycho and leads to an estimate of 2.5 kpc.

description: We report the rediscovery of the keelback snake Hebius pealii after 129 years from Arunachal Pradesh in Northeast India. We designate a lectotype for the species, and provide the first description of a female, of colour in life, and aspects of its natural history. Multilocus phylogenetic analyses of two mitochondrial (1071 bp cytb, 508 bp 16s) and two nuclear (560 bp bdnf, 579 bp cmos) genes provides strong evidence for Hebius pealii being nested within the genus Herpetoreas instead of Hebius. We transfer this species to the genus Herpetoreas.

description: A general nonperturvative loop quantization procedure for metric modified gravity is reviewed. As an example, this procedure is applied to scalar-tensor theories of gravity. The quantum kinematical framework of these theories is rigorously constructed. Both the Hamiltonian and master constraint operators are well defined and proposed to represent quantum dynamics of scalar-tensor theories. As an application to models, we set up the basic structure of loop quantum Brans-Dicke cosmology. The effective dynamical equations of loop quantum Brans-Dicke cosmology are also obtained, which lay a foundation for the phenomenological investigation to possible quantum gravity effects in cosmology.

description: The recoil, vacuum polarization and electron vertex corrections of first and second orders in the fine structure constant $α$ and the ratio of electron to muon and electron to α-particle masses are calculated in the hyperfine splitting of the $1s^{(e)}_{1/2}2s^{(μ)}_{1/2}$ state of muonic helium atom (μe ^4_2He) on the basis of a perturbation theory. We obtain total result for the muonically excited state hyperfine splitting $Δν^{hfs}=4295.66$ MHz which improves previous calculations due to the account of new corrections and more accurate treatment of the electron vertex contribution.

description: Both unconstrained and constrained minimax single facility location problems are considered in multidimensional space with Chebyshev distance. A new solution approach is proposed within the framework of idempotent algebra to reduce the problems to solving linear vector equations and minimizing functionals defined on some idempotent semimodule. The approach offers a solution in a closed form that actually involves performing matrix-vector multiplications in terms of idempotent algebra for appropriate matrices and vectors. To illustrate the solution procedures, numerical and graphical examples of two-dimensional problems are given.

description: Let $X$ be one of the finite-dimensional simple graded Lie superalgebras of Cartan type $W, S, H, K, HO, KO, SHO$ or $SKO$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>3$. In this paper we prove that $X$ can be generated by one element except the ones of type $W,$ $HO$, $KO$ or $SKO$ in certain exceptional cases, in which $X$ can be generated by two elements. As a subsidiary result, we also prove that certain classical Lie superalgebras or their relatives can be generated by one or two elements.

description: Modern time-domain surveys continuously monitor large swaths of the sky to look for astronomical variability. Astrophysical discovery in such data sets is complicated by the fact that detections of real transient and variable sources are highly outnumbered by bogus detections caused by imperfect subtractions, atmospheric effects and detector artefacts. In this work we present a machine learning (ML) framework for discovery of variability in time-domain imaging surveys. Our ML methods provide probabilistic statements, in near real time, about the degree to which each newly observed source is astrophysically relevant source of variable brightness. We provide details about each of the analysis steps involved, including compilation of the training and testing sets, construction of descriptive image-based and contextual features, and optimization of the feature subset and model tuning parameters. Using a validation set of nearly 30,000 objects from the Palomar Transient Factory, we demonstrate a missed detection rate of at most 7.7% at our chosen false-positive rate of 1% for an optimized ML classifier of 23 features, selected to avoid feature correlation and over-fitting from an initial library of 42 attributes. Importantly, we show that our classification methodology is insensitive to mis-labelled training data up to a contamination of nearly 10%, making it easier to compile sufficient training sets for accurate performance in future surveys. This ML framework, if so adopted, should enable the maximization of scientific gain from future synoptic survey and enable fast follow-up decisions on the vast amounts of streaming data produced by such experiments.

description: The spatial variation of the colour of a galaxy may introduce a bias in the measurement of its shape if the PSF profile depends on wavelength. We study how this bias depends on the properties of the PSF and the galaxies themselves. The bias depends on the scales used to estimate the shape, which may be used to optimise methods to reduce the bias. Here we develop a general approach to quantify the bias. Although applicable to any weak lensing survey, we focus on the implications for the ESA Euclid mission. Based on our study of synthetic galaxies we find that the bias is a few times 10^-3 for a typical galaxy observed by Euclid. Consequently, it cannot be neglected and needs to be accounted for. We demonstrate how one can do so using spatially resolved observations of galaxies in two filters. We show that HST observations in the F606W and F814W filters allow us to model and reduce the bias by an order of magnitude, sufficient to meet Euclid's scientific requirements. The precision of the correction is ultimately determined by the number of galaxies for which spatially-resolved observations in at least two filters are available. We use results from the Millennium Simulation to demonstrate that archival HST data will be sufficient for the tomographic cosmic shear analysis with the Euclid dataset.
