description: The multiple Doppler readouts available on the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) permit simultaneous formation of several interferometric observables. All these observables are independent of laser frequency fluctuations and have different couplings to gravitational waves and to the various LISA instrumental noises. Within the functional space of interferometric combinations LISA will be able to synthesize, we have identified a triplet of interferometric combinations that show optimally combined sensitivity. As an application of the method, we computed the sensitivity improvement for sinusoidal sources in the nominal, equal-arm LISA configuration. In the part of the Fourier band where the period of the wave is longer than the typical light travel-time across LISA, the sensitivity gain over a single Michelson interferometer is equal to $\sqrt{2}$. In the mid-band region, where the LISA Michelson combination has its best sensitivity, the improvement over the Michelson sensitivity is slightly better than $\sqrt{2}$, and the frequency band of best sensitivity is broadened. For frequencies greater than the reciprocal of the light travel-time, the sensitivity improvement is oscillatory and $\sim \sqrt{3}$, but can be greater than $\sqrt{3}$ near frequencies that are integer multiples of the inverse of the one-way light travel-time in the LISA arm.

description: Quality assessment of in-the-wild videos is a challenging problem because of the absence of reference videos and shooting distortions. Knowledge of the human visual system can help establish methods for objective quality assessment of in-the-wild videos. In this work, we show two eminent effects of the human visual system, namely, content-dependency and temporal-memory effects, could be used for this purpose. We propose an objective no-reference video quality assessment method by integrating both effects into a deep neural network. For content-dependency, we extract features from a pre-trained image classification neural network for its inherent content-aware property. For temporal-memory effects, long-term dependencies, especially the temporal hysteresis, are integrated into the network with a gated recurrent unit and a subjectively-inspired temporal pooling layer. To validate the performance of our method, experiments are conducted on three publicly available in-the-wild video quality assessment databases: KoNViD-1k, CVD2014, and LIVE-Qualcomm, respectively. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms five state-of-the-art methods by a large margin, specifically, 12.39%, 15.71%, 15.45%, and 18.09% overall performance improvements over the second-best method VBLIINDS, in terms of SROCC, KROCC, PLCC and RMSE, respectively. Moreover, the ablation study verifies the crucial role of both the content-aware features and the modeling of temporal-memory effects. The PyTorch implementation of our method is released at https://github.com/lidq92/VSFA.

Cohort and Gender Differences and the Marriage Wage Premium: Findings from the NLSY79 and the NLSY97
Creators: name: Lim, Misun
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: Past research has established a marital wage premium among men, and more recently, among women of the baby boom generation. It is unknown whether: 1) the marriage premium holds among more recent cohorts of men and women, 2) it differs by intensity of work hours among husbands and wives, and 3) cohabiters receive wage bonuses. Using fixed-effects models and data from the 1979-1989 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) and the 1997-2010 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97), this paper compares cohort differences in the gendered marriage premium. While both women and men receive marriage premiums and these premiums are larger for more recent cohorts, men’s premiums are consistently higher and have doubled from the late baby boomers cohort (NLSY79) to the late Generation X (Gen X) cohort (NLSY97). While there was no wage premium for cohabitation among baby boom cohort women, I observe a premium among Gen X men and women. Household specialization matters: while among baby-boomers the marriage premium did not vary by household type, among the Gen X cohort men’s marriage premium is significantly larger among male breadwinner households, and surprisingly, I find marriage penalties for men in female-breadwinner households. Similarly, Gen X female breadwinners and female dual-earners receive the marriage premium while Gen X women in male-breadwinner households experience marriage penalty. In addition, the more highly educated receive larger marital bonuses.

description: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common complication of hemodialysis (HD), but there is no consensus on its definition. In 2015, Flythe proposed a definition of IDH (Definition 1 in this study): nadir systolic blood pressure (SBP) <90 mmHg during hemodialysis for patients with pre-dialysis SBP <159 mmHg, and nadir SBP <100 mmHg during hemodialysis for patients with pre-dialysis SBP ≥160 mmHg. This prospective observational cohort study investigated the association of frequent IDH based on Definition 1 with clinical outcomes and compared Definition 1 with a commonly used definition (nadir SBP <90 mmHg during hemodialysis, Definition 2). The incidence of IDH was observed over a 3-month exposure assessment period. Patients with IDH events ≥30% were classified as ‘frequent IDH’; the others were ‘infrequent IDH’. All-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause hospitalization events were followed up for 36 months. This study enrolled 163 HD patients. The incidence of IDH was 11.1% according to Definition 1 and 10.5% according to Definition 2. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that frequent IDH patients had higher risks of all-cause mortality (p = 0.009, Definition 1; p = 0.002, Definition 2) and cardiovascular mortality (p = 0.021, Definition 1). Multivariable Cox regression analysis indicated that frequent IDH was independently associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality (Model 1: HR = 2.553, 95%CI 1.334–4.886, p = 0.005; Model 2: HR = 2.406, 95%CI 1.253–4.621, p = 0.008). In conclusion, HD patients classified as frequent IDH are at a greater risk of all-cause mortality. This highlights the significance of acknowledging and proactively managing frequent IDH within the HD patients.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We investigate the effect on the entanglement dynamics of an impurity moving at constant velocity in a closed quantum system. We focus on one-dimensional strongly-correlated lattice models, both in the presence of integrable and chaotic dynamics. In the former, the slow impurity is preceded by fast quasiparticles carrying an "endogenous" entanglement front which decays in time as a power-law; on the contrary, a fast impurity drags itself an "exogenous" entanglement front which never fades. We argue that these effects are valid for generic systems whose correlations propagate inside a light-cone. To assess the fully chaotic regime, we formulate a random circuit model which supports a moving impurity and a sharp lightcone. Although the qualitative behavior is similar to the integrable case, the endogenous regime is only visible at short times due to the onset of diffusive energy transport. Our predictions are supported by numerical simulations in the different regimes.

description: Abnormal serum Na (SNa) levels are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. There are relatively few studies on the effect of SNa indicators on the prognosis of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). We aim to investigate the effect of long-term SNa levels on the survival and prognosis of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Newly entered HD patients in the registration system of Zhejiang Provincial Dialysis Quality Control Center between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2019 were included and followed up until December 31, 2020. Multiple sodium levels were collected from patients, defining long-term SNa as the mean of multiple SNa, according to which patients were grouped, with the prognostic differences between subgroups compared by Kaplan-Meier modeling and multifactorial Cox regression modeling. Finally, a total of 21,701 patients were included in this study and Cox regression showed that decreased SNa levels (Na < 135 mmol/L, HR = 1.704, 95% CI 1.408–2.063, p < 0.001; 135≦Na≦137.5 mmol/L, HR = 1.127,95% CI 1.016–1.250, p = 0.024) and elevated SNa levels (142.5 < Na≦145mmol/L, HR = 1.198, 95% CI 1.063–1.350, p = 0.003; Na > 145mmol/L, HR = 2.150, 95% CI 1.615–2.863, p < 0.001) were all independent risk factors for all-cause mortality in MHD patients.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY EXPLORATION OF COARSE-GRAIN RECONFIGURABLE ARCHITECTURE WITH EMERGING NONVOLATILE MEMORY
Creators: name: Liu, Xiaobin
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: With the rapid growth in consumer electronics, people expect thin, smart and powerful devices, e.g. Google Glass and other wearable devices. However, as portable electronic products become smaller, energy consumption becomes an issue that limits the development of portable systems due to battery lifetime. In general, simply reducing device size cannot fully address the energy issue.
To tackle this problem, we propose an on-chip interconnect infrastructure and pro- gram storage structure for a coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture (CGRA) with emerging non-volatile embedded memory (MRAM). The interconnect is composed of a matrix of time-multiplexed switchboxes which can be dynamically reconfigured with the goal of energy reduction. The number of processors performing computation can also be adapted. The use of MRAM provides access to high-density storage and lower memory energy consumption versus more standard SRAM technologies. The combination of CGRA, MRAM, and flexible on-chip interconnection is considered for signal processing. This application domain is of interest based on its time-varying computing demands.
To evaluate CGRA architectural features, prototype architectures have been pro- totyped in a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Measurements of energy, power, instruction count, and execution time performance are considered for a scalable num- ber of processors. Applications such as adaptive Viterbi decoding and Reed Solomon coding are used for evaluation. To complete this thesis, a time-scheduled switchbox was integrated into our CGRA model. This model was prototyped on an FPGA. It is shown that energy consumption can be reduced by about 30% if dynamic design reconfiguration is performed.

description: The inclusive cross section for production of isolated photons has been measured in \pbarp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 630$ GeV with the \D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The photons span a transverse energy ($E_T$) range from 7-49 GeV and have pseudorapidity $|η| < 2.5$. This measurement is combined with to previous \D0 result at $\sqrt{s} = 1800$ GeV to form a ratio of the cross sections. Comparison of next-to-leading order QCD with the measured cross section at 630 GeV and ratio of cross sections show satisfactory agreement in most of the $E_T$ range.

description: The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we show that a certain concatenation of a proximity operator with an affine operator is again a proximity operator on a suitable Hilbert space. Second, we use our findings to establish so-called proximal neural networks (PNNs) and stable tight frame proximal neural networks. Let $\mathcal H$ and $\mathcal K$ be real Hilbert spaces, $b\in\mathcal K$ and $T\in\mathcal{B}(\mathcal H,\mathcal K)$ have closed range and Moore-Penrose inverse $T^\dagger$. Based on the well-known characterization of proximity operators by Moreau, we prove that for any proximity operator $\text{Prox}\colon\mathcal K\to\mathcal K$ the operator $T^\dagger\,\text{Prox} (T\cdot +b)$ is a proximity operator on $\mathcal H$ equipped with a suitable norm. In particular, it follows for the frequently applied soft shrinkage operator $\text{Prox} = S_λ\colon\ell_2 \rightarrow\ell_2$ and any frame analysis operator $T\colon\mathcal H\to\ell_2$ that the frame shrinkage operator $T^\dagger\, S_λ\,T$ is a proximity operator on a suitable Hilbert space. The concatenation of proximity operators on $\mathbb R^d$ equipped with different norms establishes a PNN. If the network arises from tight frame analysis or synthesis operators, then it forms an averaged operator. Hence, it has Lipschitz constant 1 and belongs to the class of so-called Lipschitz networks, which were recently applied to defend against adversarial attacks. Moreover, due to its averaging property, PNNs can be used within so-called Plug-and-Play algorithms with convergence guarantee. In case of Parseval frames, we call the networks Parseval proximal neural networks (PPNNs). Then, the involved linear operators are in a Stiefel manifold and corresponding minimization methods can be applied for training. Finally, some proof-of-the concept examples demonstrate the performance of PPNNs.

Kinetic Asymmetries During Submaximal and Maximal Speed Running
Creators: name: Frayne, Devon H
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

description: An important issue for sports scientists, coaches and athletes is an understanding of the factors within a running stride that can enhance or limit maximal running speed. Previous research has identified many sprint-related parameters as potential kinetic limiters of maximal Center of Mass velocity (Chapman and Caldwell, 1983b; Weyand et al., 2001). Bilateral asymmetry is present for many of these parameters during running; however the degree to which such asymmetries change as running speed increases is unknown. It was hypothesized that asymmetries in key sprinting parameters would be larger at maximal speed than all other tested speeds. Kinematics and kinetics were collected from nine female competitive speed and power athletes (age = 21 ±3 years, mass = 60.58 ±7.48 kg, height = 1.64 ±0.07 m) who completed maximal and submaximal sprinting trials on a force-instrumented treadmill. A repeated-measures ANOVA was completed for each parameter to examine the asymmetry differences across speed. The only parameter for which asymmetry was statistically greater (p<0.05) during maximal speed than all other speeds was effective vertical stiffness, in which the level of asymmetry increased incrementally with speed (r2=0.97). Therefore the hypothesis that asymmetries would increase with speed for all key parameters is rejected. Bilateral asymmetries in effective vertical stiffness appeared to be related to asymmetries in both vertical and A/P propulsive impulse at maximal speed. Furthermore, asymmetries in effective vertical stiffness may force runners to resort to a less stable and less coordinated gait, limiting their ability to further increase stride frequency, and thus limiting maximal speed.
Gravitational effects in terms of paths in Minkowski space

description: An approach is developed which enables one to analyze gravitational effects without usage of any concrete model of geometry (or a class of models of geometry) of space-time and even without any coordinate system. Instead, the formalism of the group of paths is used. An element of this group (a class of curves in Minkowski space) is associated with each curve in the curved space-time and called its `flat model'. The analysis of observational data in terms of flat models of closed curves is interpreted as a formalization of the analysis which a `naive observer' (knowing nothing about the space-time being curved) applies to his observations.

description: Inflammation plays a crucial role in occurrence of kidney injury, and specific dietary patterns can influence systemic inflammation levels. However, the relationship between dietary inflammatory potential and early-stage kidney damage remains unclear. 2,108 participants was recruited from 2001–2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is utilized to assess dietary inflammatory potential, calculated through a 24-h dietary recall questionnaire. Early renal injury was evaluated using urinary albumin to creatinine (UACR), cystatin C (CysC), β-2 microglobulin (β2M), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on serum creatinine (eGFRs), cystatin C (eGFRc), and both Scr and CysC (eGFRs&c). Participant characteristics were analyzed, and association between DII, hypertension, and early renal injury markers was explored using multiple linear and logistic regression models. The average age of participants was 53.9 years. DII exhibited a positive correlation with UACR (β = −0.048[0.017,0.078]), β2M (β = 0.019[0.010,0.027]), CysC (β = 0.012 [0.004,0.021]). Conversely, a negative correlation was observed between DII and eGFRc (β = −1.126[−1.554, −0.699]), eGFRs&c (β=-1.101[−1.653, −0.549]). A significant association was observed between hypertension and abnormality of early kidney damage markers. Subgroup analysis reveals that the positive correlation between DII and the occurrence of abnormal markers of early kidney damage is only observed in individuals with hypertension. Furthermore, an interaction between DII and hypertension was detected in eGFRs&c (OR:1.250[1.042, 1.499], p for interaction = 0.03). Higher levels of DII may be associated with occurrence of early kidney damage. For individuals with hypertension, avoiding excessive consumption of pro-inflammatory foods may reduce the risk of renal injury.

description: If the fundamental planck scale is near a TeV, then parton collisions with high enough center-of-mass energy should produce black holes. The production rate for such black holes at LHC has been extensively studied for the case of a proton-proton collision. In this paper, we extend this analysis to a lead-lead collision at LHC. We find that the cross section for small black holes which may in principle be produced in such a collision is either enhanced or suppressed, depending upon the black hole mass. For example, for black holes with a mass around 3 TeV we find that the differential black hole production cross section, dσ/dM, in a typical lead-lead collision is up to 90 times larger than that for black holes produced in a typical proton-proton collision. We also discuss the cross-sections for `string ball' production in these collisions. For string balls of mass about 1 (2) TeV, we find that the differential production cross section in a typical lead-lead collision may be enhanced by a factor up to 3300 (850) times that of a proton-proton collision at LHC.

description: We analyze here a model for an adsorbate system composed of many layers by extending a theoretical approach used to describe pattern formation on a monolayer of adsorbates with lateral interactions. The approach shows, in addition to a first order phase transition in the first layer, a transition in the second layer together with evidence of a "cascade" of transitions if more layers are included. The transition profiles, showing a staircase structure, corroborate this picture. The adsorption isotherm that came out of this approach is in qualitative agreement with numerical and experimental results.

Distinction and Difference: From Kana to Hiragana and Hentaigana
Creators: name: Marks, Clare
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: The study of kana 仮名 development has only begun in the last fifteen years, with much scholarship focused upon discerning either the Heian origins of kana or such later developments as furigana 振り仮名 (phonetic guides) and spelling rules. However, these perspectives have largely overlooked a key moment in Japanese writing history: in 1900, the Meiji government standardized the kana, from hundreds of possible variant graphemes to the forty-six used today, one symbol per sound. From then on, what had commonly been known only as kana were divided into two groups: hiragana 平仮名, the standard set, and hentaigana 変体仮名, the set of all non-standard graphemes. This standardization represented a seismic shift in Japanese writing culture, affecting everything from education to aesthetics, and yet it occurred without any bureaucratic debate—or, it seems, any post-legislation public outcry. This study addresses the apparent incongruity by examining a variety of primary sources for evidence of a pre-Meiji acceptance of a standardized set of graphemes, before the official standardization in 1900. Arguing from this evidence, a convincing case is made that the kana made standard in 1900 had been historically recognized as distinct from all other variants, despite there being no demonstrable difference in their use in context. This project, by closely examining long-neglected sources, sheds new light on the issue of pre-modern Japanese script usage.

description: The lack of early renal function recovery among geriatric patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is a commonly observed and acknowledged poor prognostic factor, especially for older adults. However, no reliable prognostic biomarker is available for identifying individuals at risk of renal non-recovery or mortality in older adults. In this prospective observational cohort study, we enrolled critically ill older adults (aged ≥ 60 years) with AKI from the ICU and followed their disease progression. The primary endpoint was renal non-recovery within seven days of follow-up, while the secondary endpoint was the determinants of 30-day mortality after AKI. We assessed the predictive accuracy using receiver operating characteristic curves and performed between-group comparisons using the log-rank test. Among 209 older adults, 117 (56.0%) experienced renal recovery. Multiple regression analysis revealed that urine levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) multiplied by insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) ([TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7]), AKI stages 2–3, and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) score were independently associated with renal non-recovery. The regression model incorporating [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] demonstrated a fair predictive value (AUC 0.774, p < 0.001), with the optimal threshold set at 0.81 (ng/mL)2/1000. When [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] was combined with AKI severity and the APACHE score, the AUC increased to 0.851. In conclusion, urine [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] is a reliable biomarker associated with renal non-recovery in critically ill older adults, and its predictive efficacy can be further enhanced when combined with AKI severity and the APACHE score.

description: The emergence of Player Development Coaches (PDC) in professional sports demonstrates recognition for the importance of fostering personal and professional development. Nonetheless, the processes by which PDCs facilitate such development are largely unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions, experiences, and responsibilities of current/former National Hockey League (NHL) PDCs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight experienced NHL PDCs (Mage = 50.5, SD = 9.7). The PDCs reported working closely with athletes to oversee their development, which involved frequent meetings and evaluation of performances. They also described the necessity of establishing trust and ensuring transparency with their athletes, providing support (e.g., emotional), and engaging in reflective practice. In using these sport specific, relational, and introspective competencies, player development coaches guide athletes towards various professional (e.g., physical, psychological performance) and personal developmental outcomes (e.g., character). The findings indicate that PDCs act similarly to mentors, whereby the pillars of trust and respect are central to their perceived ability to impact athlete’s personal and professional development. In conclusion, in order to expedite the ultimate performance goal of getting athletes into the NHL, PDCs work collaboratively to reinforce and develop a range of developmental assets that span from improvements in performance to personal growth. Lay Summary: Eight player development coaches were interviewed to examine how they helped their athletes develop into full-time National Hockey League players. These individuals reported the importance of developing trusting relationships with their athletes, monitoring athlete performance/progress, and providing them with the necessary resources to facilitate sport-specific skill development as well as healthy and desirable personal growth.

Measurement of the ratio of the differential cross sections for W and Z boson production as a function of transverse momentum in pbarp collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8TeV

description: We report on a preliminary measurement of the ratio of the differential cross sections for W and Z boson production as a function of transverse momentum in proton-antiproton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.8 TeV. It has been shown that the ratio between W and Z observables can be reliably calculated using perturbative QCD, even when the individual observables are not. We present the first comparison between the measurement of a W and Z observable ratio and a purely perturbative calculation. The use of the ratio reduces both experimental and theoretical uncertainites and might result in smaller overall uncertainties on the measured W mass and width, compared to currently used methods at hadron colliders.

Seeing And Believing: A Critical Study of Kobayashi Hideo's Watakushi no Jinseikan
Creators: name: Morikawa, Saki
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: What do we mean by “seeing”? Although we may see the same object in front of us, we each consciously or unconsciously select what we wish to see, eliminating information we find unnecessary. An artist or poet can see in even a tiny flower, which others barely notice, a wealth of colors or countless words. How then do our own eyes and those of others differ?
This thesis aims to explore how the act of seeing shapes one’s life and influences it through a consideration of the works of Kobayashi Hideo 小林秀雄 (1902-1983), a literary critic in modern Japan. In 1949 Kobayashi published a long essay entitled “Watakushi no jinseikan” 私の人生観(My View of Life), originally given as a speech in 1948 when he was forty-six years old. In this work Kobayashi analyzes the word kan 観 (vision) with reference to more than forty historical figures from both the West and the East. The thesis selects for discussion two of these in particular, namely Miyamoto Musashi 宮本武蔵(1584-1645), a Japanese warrior of the early Edo era, and Henri Bergson (1859-1941), a major French philosopher of the twentieth century upon whom Kobayashi places special significance.
While the primary focus is on interpreting this speech of Kobayashi’s, the thesis also discusses his earlier and later works in order to show the various transitions his philosophy went through over the course of his long career. The strong belief to which Kobayashi held on throughout his life as a literary critic is that the only way to see the essence of any object is to reject all rational and analytical interpretation and instead to unite one’s self with the objects: this was the ultimate approach that Kobayashi adopted in order to understand the word kan. This thesis finally addresses the question of whether this vision enabled Kobayashi to achieve his potential as a critic and as an individual.
