Subjects: Consumer surveillance
Carceral

description: As technology continues to evolve and become more accessible, home security systems have become increasingly common. These systems offer homeowners a sense of safety and peace of mind, as they provide real-time monitoring and the ability to respond to potential threats. With the advent of smart home technology, homeowners can control their security systems remotely, receiving alerts and even controlling access to their homes through their mobile devices. In recent years, one notable evolution in home security is the rise in popularity of neighborhood social networking sites that promise to help make the user feel safer. The most notable apps in this category include Nextdoor, Neighbors by Ring, and Citizen. These social networking apps allow users to share videos, photos, and text posts with other camera owners that live nearby. 
In this thesis, I will be exploring how this genre of consumer surveillance fits into a broader history of surveillance being used as a tool for the control and classification of marginalized communities. Specifically, my research seeks to highlight the carceral logic underlying these technologies and the assumptions they create about what is needed to ensure true public safety. The purpose is to analyze how surveillance practices in the US have become necessitated through inflated fears of crime and what implications this offers as we consider how technology industries continue to innovate and develop new apparatuses for surveillance.

My research analyzes marketing videos by Ring used to promote its reveals three key findings. First, Neighbors seeks to amplify fear of crime, regardless of actual crime rates in a neighborhood and causes hyper-vigilance. Second, the marketing of Ring’s Neighbors app encourages an incarceration mindset in the domestic spheres of the home and neighborhood that is accompanied by unnecessary policing and criminal punishment. Finally, Amazon’s marketing of Ring frames surveillance as a public service.

description: The transition between a Minkowski space region and a parity breaking medium domain is thoroughly discussed. The requirement of continuity of the field operator content across the separating boundary of the two domains leads to Bogolyubov transformations, squeezed pairs states and squeeze operators that turn out to generate a functional SU(2) algebra. According to this algebraic approach, the reflection and transmission probability amplitude across the separating boundary are computed. The probability rate of the emission or absorption of squeezed pairs out of the vacuum (generalization of the Sauter-Schwinger-Nikishov formula) is obtained.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: A class of matrix models which arises as partition function in U(N) Chern-Simons matter theories on three sphere is investigated. Employing the standard technique of the 1/N expansion we solve the system beyond the planar limit. In particular we study a case where the matrix model potential has 1/N correction and give a general solution thereof up to the order of 1/N^2. We confirm that the general solution correctly reproduces the past exact result of the free energy up to the order in the case of pure Chern-Simons theory. We also apply to the matrix model of N=2 Chern-Simons theory with arbitrary numbers of fundamental chiral multiplets and anti-fundamental ones, which does not admit the Fermi gas analysis in general.

description: This study assessed the effects of a 12-week afterschool mindfulness-based diet and exercise intervention on mental and physical health in Latinx and Black youth. One hundred forty-eight boys and girls (average age = 10.1 years, SD = 1.3 years; 52% girls; 72.3% Latinx) were randomized to either the experimental group (n = 80) or the control group (n = 68). The experimental group participants engaged in fitness yoga, kickboxing, and/or spinning sessions, and mindfulness practices (e.g., breathing, meditation, and mindful eating) twice per week for 12 weeks. The control group participants engaged in a recreational play session once per week for 12 weeks. All participants completed surveys (demographics, acculturation, anxiety, emotional eating, sleep, and food intake) and had their height, weight, and percent body fat measured pre- and post-intervention. Participants wore an accelerometer for 7 days pre- and post-intervention. Repeated measures analysis of covariance indicated that the experimental group participants reported lower scores in emotional eating, anxiety, and sleep latency post-intervention compared to the control group participants. Conversely, no significant differences were observed in physical activity between the experimental and control group participants post-intervention. These findings indicate that a mindfulness-based intervention has a positive effect on emotional eating, anxiety, and sleep latency among youth of color.

description: This paper presents a descriptive model of stock market confidence conditional on stock market uncertainty in a first-order copula-based Markov approach. By using monthly closing prices of the VIX as a stock market uncertainty proxy for the United States and the copula of Fang et al. (2000) a stable nonlinear relation between confidence and uncertainty is derived. Based on the existence of a specific dependence structure uncertainty-reducing policies by US institutions which are intended to recover stock market confidence are evaluated with respect to its efficiency. The model implication for high uncertainty regimes is an aggressive uncertainty-reducing policy in order to avoid sticking in an uncertainty trap. Furthermore, uncertainty driving profit expectations force an uncertainty level which does not correspond to high confidence and calls for regulatory actions. Additionally, the methodological approach is appropriate for conditional quantile forecasts and a potential tool in risk management.

description: It is proven that the exact excited-state wave function and energy may be obtained by minimizing the energy expectation value of trial wave functions that are constrained only to have the correct nodes of the state of interest. This excited-state nodal minimum principle has the advantage that it requires neither minimization with the constraint of wave-function orthogonality to all lower eigenstates nor the antisymmetry of the trial wave functions. It is also found that the minimization over the entire space can be partitioned into several interconnected minimizations within the individual nodal regions, and the exact excited-state energy may be obtained by a minimization in just one or several of these nodal regions. For the proofs of the theorem, it is observed that the many-electron eigenfunction (excited state as well as ground state), restricted to a nodal region, is equivalent to a ground-state wave function of one electron in a higher-dimensional space; and, alternatively, an explicit excited-state energy variational expression is utilized by generalizing the Jacobi method of multiplicative variation. In corollaries, error functions are constructed for cases for which the nodes are not necessarily exact. The exact nodes minimize the energy error functions with respect to nodal variations. Simple numerical illustrations of the error functions are presented.

description: A common problem associated with FeNC catalysts is their poor stability dominated by the carbon oxidation reaction (COR). In this work, the feasibility of stabilizing FeNC catalysts with small quantities of Ir was explored. With iridium being present, instead of COR the oxygen evolution reaction should be favored. The impact on structure and morphology was investigated by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The catalytic activity and durability for the oxygen reduction reaction was evaluated by rotating ring disc electrode experiments and accelerated stress tests mimicking the start-up and shutdown cycle (SSC) conditions, respectively. For selected samples the stability was analysed for SSCs in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Moreover, the faradaic efficiency towards oxygen evolution reaction vs. COR was determined and the resistance towards COR analysed by in situ Raman spectroscopy. The results indicate indeed a suppression of the COR; however, specifically for fuel cell applications, further optimization is necessary.

description: We consider radiative processes of an atom in a rotating black-hole background. We assume the atom, represented by a hypothetical two-level system, is coupled via a monopole interaction with a massless quantum scalar field prepared in each one of the usual physical vacuum states of interest. We constrain ourselves to two different states of motion for the atom, namely a static situation in which the atom is placed at a fixed radial distance, and also the case in which it has a stationary motion but with zero angular momentum. We study the structure of the rate of variation of the atomic energy. The intention is to clarify in a quantitative way the effect of the distinguished contributions of vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction on spontaneous excitation and on spontaneous emission of atoms. In particular, we are interested in the comprehension of the combined action of the different physical processes underlying the Hawking effect in the scenario of rotating black holes as well as the Unruh-Starobinskii effect. We demonstrate that, in the case of static atoms, spontaneous excitation is also connected with the Unruh-Starobinskii effect, but only in the case of the quantum field prepared in the Frolov-Thorne vacuum state. In addition, we show that, in the ZAMOs perspective, the Boulware vacuum state contains an outward flux of particles as a consequence of the black-hole superradiance. The possible relevance of the findings in the present work is discussed.

description: Lakes are freshwater resources that contribute significantly to the maintenance of local ecosystems and ecological functions and services, including water supply, irrigation, hydroelectric production, aquaculture, and extreme flood and drought management. These services are declining, especially in developing countries such as Ethiopia, due to rapid population growth and human activities that have accelerated land degradation. Recently, Lake Tana shows signs of water hyacinth and is now found in the Fogera and Dembia floodplains. The lake resources are being abused, leading to resource degradation and ecosystem disruption. Studies of the physicochemical parameters of Lake Tana are limited to the banks of the lake and this study was conducted to investigate selected physicochemical water quality parameters of Lake Tana not limited to the banks of the lake. Four field trips were made in 2018 to measure transparency or Secchi Disc Depth (SDD), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Temperature (T0), and to collect water samples at 20 sampling locations for Suspended Sediment Concentration (SSC) and turbidity analysis. The result was analyzed spatiotemporally, statistically and graphically using R Statistical software and ArcGIS. Accordingly mean values of SSC of 205.7, 190.8, 377.4, 422.7 mg/l, turbidity of 20.1, 41.2, 90.8, 72.1 NTU, SDD of 0.78, 0.56, 0.40, 0.31 m, TDS of 93.6, 94.8, 90.8, 88.3 ppm, T0 of 24.3, 24.3, 23.5, 22.7 0C, and EC of 143.3, 143.9, 135.9, 131.4 µmhos/cm were found for May, June, July and August 2018 respectively. The analysis revealed that the sediment concentration had a higher spatiotemporal variation along the inlets of tributary rivers and in the centre of the lake Temperature and total dissolved solids results also showed that it is appropriate for water hyacinth development and expansion over the lake surface. By treating the nutrient-rich sediment with optimal management techniques such as soil and water conservation, minimizing recession agriculture near the lake, and enhancing wetland management, it may be possible to change the physicochemical water quality and the dynamics of water hyacinth expansion.

description: In comparison with neutral covalent organic frameworks (COFs), few studies have been conducted on the synthesis and applications of ionic COFs. In this work, a novel cationic covalent organic framework (CCOF) with high porosity and crystallinity is synthesized by reacting ionic tris-aldehyde with 4,4'-oxydianiline through the catalyst-free Schiff’s base reaction. The structural properties of cationic COF were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. Application of this cationic COF as an adsorbent for selective removal of anionic dyes with sustainability concerns is investigated. The synthesized cationic COF exhibited good removal efficiency (95%) for methyl orange. The adsorption process was exothermic and fitted perfectly with the Langmuir isotherm with a high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9737) and maximum adsorption capacity (196.08 mg/g) and pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

description: Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the patients’ role in clinical education in terms of facilitative student-patient relationship in Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Lithuania and Spain and factors promoting a more facilitative relationship in clinical education. Background: Nursing students’ bedside learning is reliant on patients and the establishment of a person-centred approach develops from the relationships with patients. Design: A multi-country, cross-sectional design was implemented. Methods: Survey data were collected from graduating nursing students and patients between May 2018 and March 2019. The survey consisted of a 13-item facilitative sub-scale of the Student-Patient Relationship Scale as the main outcome measure, which was identical for both populations. In addition, background factors were surveyed with single questions and other scales. Associations between facilitative relationship and background factors were studied with linear models. Results: Altogether, 1796 students and 1327 patients answered the survey. Overall, both students and patients regarded their relationship as facilitative, but students’ (median 4.23, 95% confidence interval 4.15–4.23) evaluations were higher than patients’ (median 3.75, 95% confidence interval 3.69–3.77). The students’ and patients’ evaluations differed from each other significantly in all other countries except in Ireland and Lithuania. Corresponding associations for both populations were found in terms of the country and students’ cultural confidence. Conclusions: Results signal favourable grounds for students’ bedside learning and patient participation in clinical education with the potential to foster a person-centred approach.

description: Transplant recipients exhibit an impaired protective immunity after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, potentially caused by mycophenolate (MPA) immunosuppression. Recent data from patients with autoimmune disorders suggest that temporary MPA hold might greatly improve booster vaccination outcomes. We applied a fourth dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine to 29 kidney transplant recipients during a temporary (5 weeks) MPA/azathioprine hold, who had not mounted a humoral immune response to previous vaccinations. Seroconversion until day 32 after vaccination was observed in 76% of patients, associated with acquisition of virus-neutralizing capacity. Interestingly, 21/25 (84%) calcineurin inhibitor-treated patients responded, but only 1/4 belatacept-treated patients responded. In line with humoral responses. counts and relative frequencies of spike receptor binding domain-specific (RBD-specific) B cells were markedly increased on day 7 after vaccination, with an increase in RBD-specific CD27(++)CD38(+) plasmablasts. Whereas overall proportions of spike-reactive CD4(+) T cells remained unaltered after the fourth dose, frequencies were positively correlated with specific IgG levels. Importantly, antigen-specific proliferating Ki67(+) and in vivo-activated programmed cell death 1-positive T cells significantly increased after revaccination during MPA hold, whereas cytokine production and memory differentiation remained unaffected. In summary, antimetabolite hold augmented all arms of immunity during booster vaccination. These data suggest further studies of antimetabolite hold in kidney transplant recipients.

Polyphenols such as total phenolic content (61 ± 1.02 to 98.3 ± 0.44 mg GE/100g of fruit paste) and total flavonoids content (24.1 ± 0.10 to 87.1 ± 0.44 mg QE/100g of fruit paste) in fruits were analyzed. Free radical scavenging activity (DPPH assay) in terms of half maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50% (108.31 to 401.7 µg/mL of fruits paste) was analyzed. Antioxidant potential, reducing and stabilizing ability were also confirmed via synthesis of silver nanoparticles rationalized by the involvement of phytochemicals. Therefore, fruits of this study showed important nutritional, phytochemical, and antioxidant properties with biological interest, and can be a potential source of functional ingredients and nutraceuticals.

description: The top-antitop energy asymmetry is a promising observable of the charge asymmetry in jet-associated top-quark pair production at the LHC. We present new predictions of the energy asymmetry in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV, including QCD corrections at the next-to-leading perturbative order. The effect of QCD corrections on the observable is moderate. With suitable phase-space cuts, the asymmetry can be enhanced at the cost of reducing the cross section. For instance, for a cross section of $1\,\text{pb}$ after cuts, we predict an energy asymmetry of $-6.5^{\,+0.1}_{\,-0.2}\%$ at the next-to-leading order in QCD. We also investigate scale uncertainties and parton-shower effects, which partially cancel in the normalized asymmetry. Our results provide a sound basis for a measurement of the energy asymmetry at the LHC during run II.

description: Traditional static and optimization based transportation planning and operation system has limitations on supporting highly dynamic, hyperconnected, multi-player logistics system in Physical Internet. Modularizing delivery and transportation can enable flexible transportation operations to adapt to such highly dynamic environment with potentially reduced planning effort. The modularization schemes are categorized into regional, hierarchical, and functional modularization. Regional modularization replaces a long route with many shorter routes, or modules, interconnected via PI hubs. Hierarchical modularization implements a multi-tier transportation system where each tier becomes a module connected via PI hubs. Functional modularization is to ensure each route serves a single functionality, each of which requires different resources. All three modularizations can increase flexibility of planning and operation while increasing the consolidation level and efficiency. Experimental results applying hierarchical and functional modularization for last mile delivery shows up to 27% of operational cost savings.
Realistic quantum critical point in one-dimensional two-impurity models

description: We show that the two-impurity Anderson model exhibits an additional quantum critical point at infinitely many specific distances between both impurities for an inversion symmetric one-dimensional dispersion. Unlike the quantum critical point previously established, it is robust against particle-hole or parity symmetry breaking. The quantum critical point separates a spin doublet from a spin singlet ground state and is, therefore, protected. A finite single-particle tunneling $t$ or an applied uniform gate voltage will drive the system across the quantum critical point. The discriminative magnetic properties of the different phases cause a jump in the spectral functions at low temperature, which might be useful for future spintronics devices. A local parity conservation will prevent the spin-spin correlation function from decaying to its equilibrium value after spin manipulations.

description: In this work, we report synthesis, characterization and computational studies of the symmetric thiophene-based compound thiophene-2,5-diylbis((3-mesityl-3-methylcyclobutyl)methanone) (1) obtained from 2,2'-thiobis(1-(3-mesityl-3-methylcyclobutyl)ethan-1-one) and glyoxal using the Hinsberg thiophene ring synthesis approach. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were performed to probe the structure of 1, as well as its electronic and optical properties. The global reactivity descriptors, as well as molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), were revealed to probe the reactivity and to determine the reactive centers of 1. The DFT calculations were also applied to probe 1 as a potential corrosion inhibitor for some important metals used in implants. Electron charge transfer from the molecule of 1 to the surface of Ni, Au, Co, Cu, Mo, W, Fe and Cr was revealed. Bioavailability, druggability as well as absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity properties of 1 were predicted. Molecular docking was applied to examine the influence of this compound on a series of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins. Compound 1 exhibited the best binding affinity with the Nsp14 (N7-MTase), Papain-like protease (PLpro) and Nsp16 (MGP site) proteins as well as demonstrated a similar efficiency toward both the native and mutated Spike proteins, RDB.

Results Concerning Almost Complex Structures on the Six-Sphere

description: For the standard metric on the six-dimensional sphere, with Levi-Civita connection $\nabla$, we show there is no almost complex structure $J$ such that $\nabla_X J$ and $\nabla_{JX} J$ commute for every $X$, nor is there any integrable $J$ such that $\nabla_{JX} J = J \nabla_X J$ for every $X$. The latter statement generalizes a previously known result on the non-existence of integrable orthogonal almost complex structures on the six-sphere. Both statements have refined versions, expressed as intrinsic first order differential inequalities depending only on $J$ and the metric. The new techniques employed include an almost-complex analogue of the Gauss map, defined for any almost complex manifold in Euclidean space.

description: Sirtuin2 (Sirt2) with its NAD+-dependent deacetylase and defatty-acylase activities plays a central role in the regulation of specific cellular functions. Dysregulation of Sirt2 activity has been associated with the pathogenesis of many diseases, thus making Sirt2 a promising target for pharmaceutical intervention. Herein, we present new high affinity Sirt2 selective Sirtuin-Rearranging Ligands (SirReals) that inhibit both Sirt2-dependent deacetylation and defatty-acylation in vitro and in cells. We show that simultaneous inhibition of both Sirt2 activities results in strongly reduced levels of the oncoprotein c-Myc and an inhibition of cancer cell migration. Furthermore, we describe the development of a NanoBRET-based assay for Sirt2, thereby providing a method to study cellular target engagement for Sirt2 in a straightforward and accurately quantifiable manner. Applying this assay, we could confirm cellular Sirt2 binding of our new Sirt2 inhibitors and correlate their anticancer effects with their cellular target engagement.

Connecting blazars with ultra high energy cosmic rays and astrophysical neutrinos

description: We present a strong hint of a connection between high energy $γ$-ray emitting blazars, very high energy neutrinos, and ultra high energy cosmic rays. We first identify potential hadronic sources by filtering $γ$-ray emitters %from existing catalogs that are in spatial coincidence with the high energy neutrinos detected by IceCube. The neutrino filtered $γ$-ray emitters are then correlated with the ultra high energy cosmic rays from the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array by scanning in $γ$-ray flux ($F_γ$) and angular separation ($θ$) between sources and cosmic rays. A maximal excess of 80 cosmic rays (42.5 expected) is found at $θ\leq10^{\circ}$ from the neutrino filtered $γ$-ray emitters selected from the second hard {\it Fermi}-LAT catalogue (2FHL) and for $F_γ\left(>50\:\mathrm{GeV}\right)\geq1.8\times10^{-11}\:\mathrm{ph}\,\mathrm{cm}^{-2}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}$. The probability for this to happen is $2.4 \times 10^{-5}$, which translates to $\sim 2.4 \times 10^{-3}$ after compensation for all the considered trials. No excess of cosmic rays is instead observed for the complement sample of $γ$-ray emitters (i.e. not in spatial connection with IceCube neutrinos). A likelihood ratio test comparing the connection between the neutrino filtered and the complement source samples with the cosmic rays favours a connection between neutrino filtered emitters and cosmic rays with a probability of $\sim1.8\times10^{-3}$ ($2.9σ)$ after compensation for all the considered trials. The neutrino filtered $γ$-ray sources that make up the cosmic rays excess are blazars of the high synchrotron peak type. More statistics is needed to further investigate these sources as candidate cosmic ray and neutrino emitters.

description: In the context of Physical Internet, where dynamic consolidation and flexible multi player operations are required, the current large-scale integer programming based package transportation network operations may not only become inflexible and computationally heavy, but can often create significant ad-hoc plan changes. This paper presents a conceptual framework of an alternative way of designing, planning, and operating a package transportation network, Hyperconnected Package Transport Logistics Infrastructure (HyPTLI), inspired by the Physical Internet Initiative. The HyPTLI framework leverages five distinctive features of Physical Internet: multi-tier interlaced mesh networks, service-based package routing schemes, dynamic containerized consolidation, service-driven on-demand inter-hub shuttling, and open protocols and digital platform. The paper describes the design components of HyPTLI and positions them into a comprehensive design framework.
