description: Recreational cannabis use among adults in the U.S. is rising, underscoring the importance of understanding contextual factors related to cannabis use and how contextual factors relate to the subjective effects of cannabis use. Although much work has examined retrospectively cannabis use patterns and effects, fewer studies have examined cannabis use in natural environments. The present study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to characterize the objective context of cannabis use (e.g., location, time, concurrent behaviors, social environment) and the subjective experience of cannabis use (e.g., associations between cannabis use and positive and negative affect). Participants (N = 200) completed baseline assessments and two 7-day waves of EMA data collection. Random effects mixed models examined between- and within-subjects effects for positive and negative affect at cannabis use and nonuse times and interactions between cannabis use and social context. Cannabis use occurred most frequently when individuals were at home, with others, and “hanging out,” and use frequency was almost evenly distributed across days of the week. Positive affect was elevated at cannabis use times regardless of social context. The relationship between cannabis use and negative affect was moderated by social context, such that negative affect was elevated at cannabis use times when participants were alone and reduced at cannabis use times when participants were in the presence of others. Cannabis use disorder symptomatology and cannabis use frequency were both inversely related to negative affect at cannabis use times. These results suggest that elevated positive affect may contribute to maintained cannabis use for some individuals; alternatively, some cannabis use may be negatively reinforced by alleviation of negative affect.

description: The scarcity of clean water poses a serious challenge across the globe. This situation is exacerbated by increasing levels of various volatile organic compounds in surface waters therby limiting their drinkability, as well as posing a major health risk to aquatic and human life. This review focuses on membrane technologies and the incoporation of lignin. The idea of fabrication or modifying lignin with composites materials capitilising on the maximum possible performance of the membranes without affecting its selectivity has attracted lot of research interest recently.

description: Human Action Recognition (HAR) aims to understand human behavior and assign a label to each action. It has a wide range of applications, and therefore has been attracting increasing attention in the field of computer vision. Human actions can be represented using various data modalities, such as RGB, skeleton, depth, infrared, point cloud, event stream, audio, acceleration, radar, and WiFi signal, which encode different sources of useful yet distinct information and have various advantages depending on the application scenarios. Consequently, lots of existing works have attempted to investigate different types of approaches for HAR using various modalities. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of recent progress in deep learning methods for HAR based on the type of input data modality. Specifically, we review the current mainstream deep learning methods for single data modalities and multiple data modalities, including the fusion-based and the co-learning-based frameworks. We also present comparative results on several benchmark datasets for HAR, together with insightful observations and inspiring future research directions.

Subjects: Exit Guidance; Career Development; University Students; Emotional Text Analysis

description: The paper aims at presenting the results from a psychological research-intervention project regarding a counseling and guidance course addressed to university students, with a double-faceted aim: a) explore the main representations by which students anticipate their entry into the labor market and future career development; b) grasp some relevant issues to better develop exit guidance in university context. The Emotional Text Analysis (AET) carried out on the narrative reports of 36 students written after the intervention completion detected five main symbolicalcultural dynamics: the need for recognition and the fear for the devaluation of one’s own competences (1), the loss of a reassuring belonging to university context and the acquisition of a professional identity (2), the desire to experience competences learned in previous training and invest on the labor market (3), the resistance to involvement and the tendency to conformism (4), the difficulty to negotiate and omnipotent reactions to the labor market (5). The paper proposes to overcome the main limitations of the current offer of university services and provides useful cues to rethink exit guidance in university context.

description: BACKGROUND: Deposition of amyloid beta (Aβ) and hyperphosphorylated tau along with glial cell-mediated neuroinflammation are prominent pathogenic hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In recent years, impairment of autophagy has been identified as another important feature contributing to AD progression. Therefore, the potential of the autophagy activator spermidine, a small body-endogenous polyamine often used as dietary supplement, was assessed on Aβ pathology and glial cell-mediated neuroinflammation. RESULTS: Oral treatment of the amyloid prone AD-like APPPS1 mice with spermidine reduced neurotoxic soluble Aβ and decreased AD-associated neuroinflammation. Mechanistically, single nuclei sequencing revealed AD-associated microglia to be the main target of spermidine. This microglia population was characterized by increased AXL levels and expression of genes implicated in cell migration and phagocytosis. A subsequent proteome analysis of isolated microglia confirmed the anti-inflammatory and cytoskeletal effects of spermidine in APPPS1 mice. In primary microglia and astrocytes, spermidine-induced autophagy subsequently affected TLR3- and TLR4-mediated inflammatory processes, phagocytosis of Aβ and motility. Interestingly, spermidine regulated the neuroinflammatory response of microglia beyond transcriptional control by interfering with the assembly of the inflammasome. CONCLUSIONS: Our data highlight that the autophagy activator spermidine holds the potential to enhance Aβ degradation and to counteract glia-mediated neuroinflammation in AD pathology.

description: Children’s injuries are a serious public-health problem, not only for their frequency but also for the seriousness of their consequences. We studied the relation among maternal supervision, child’s risk taking and sensation seeking and history of notserious injuries. Participants included 125 mothers and their children (M age = 59 months). Mothers completed the following instruments: Parental Supervision Attitudes Profile Questionnaire (PSAPQ; Morrongiello e Corbett, 2006), Injury Behavior Checklist (IBC - Speltz et al., 1990) and Injury Frequency History (IFH – Potts et al., 1997). Mothers and children completed the Sensation Seeking Scale for Young Children (SSSYC – adapted by Morrongiello, Sandomierski, Valla, 2010). Findings show low correlations among maternal supervision, child’s risk taking, sensation seeking and history of injuries. On the contrary Sensation seeking seems to be a strong correlate of child’s risk taking and history of injuries.

description: We present an approach to automatically generate semantic labels for real recordings of automotive range-Doppler (RD) radar spectra. Such labels are required when training a neural network for object recognition from radar data. The automatic labeling approach rests on the simultaneous recording of camera and lidar data in addition to the radar spectrum. By warping radar spectra into the camera image, state-of-the-art object recognition algorithms can be applied to label relevant objects, such as cars, in the camera image. The warping operation is designed to be fully differentiable, which allows backpropagating the gradient computed on the camera image through the warping operation to the neural network operating on the radar data. As the warping operation relies on accurate scene flow estimation, we further propose a novel scene flow estimation algorithm which exploits information from camera, lidar and radar sensors. The proposed scene flow estimation approach is compared against a state-of-the-art scene flow algorithm, and it outperforms it by approximately 30% w.r.t. mean average error. The feasibility of the overall framework for automatic label generation for RD spectra is verified by evaluating the performance of neural networks trained with the proposed framework for Direction-of-Arrival estimation.

Paragrilus vicinus Waterhouse, 1889: 126.
Diagnosis: Robust, head black with golden reflections, pronotum reddish purple with dark blue reflections, scutellum coppery, elytra with dark blue reflections; 3.4­3.6 mm long. Head with front convex, rather broadly, moderately impressed along midline on upper 2/3; epistoma depressed and very narrow between antennal insertions, ventral margin slightly produced, very shallowly emarginate; surface densely but indistinctly punctate, shagreened. Pronotum convex, prehumeral callosity strongly indicated by narrow, deep lateral depressions; disc rather strongly depressed along basal margin, with raised ridge in front of scutellum; surface coarsely transversely rugose. Elytra with posthumeral carinae extending beyond hind coxae, surface rugose, with third interval slightly raised, a shallow transverse medial depression and strong subapical raised callosity; apices rounded­truncate. Posterior angles of hind coxae broadly acute or subquadrate, flared. Male genitalia black, with transparent tips to lateral lobes (Fig. 20).
Distribution: Local, Costa Rica, and Panamá, possibly México (Chiapas, Vera Cruz).
Host: Unknown, but probably Sida spp.
Type: Panamá, “V. de Chiriqui,/ 3­4000 ft./Champion (Lectotype, BMNH; Hespenheide 1979).
Specimens examined: México, Vera Cruz, Fortin de las Flores, 28.VI.1975 (OSU), Chiapas, Tuxtla Gutierrez, 20.VI.1955, R.B. & J.M. Selander (AMNH). Costa Rica, Puntarenas Pr., 6 km S San Vito, Las Cruces, 1200 m, 8° 48’ N 82° 58’ W, III.1988, P. Hanson, Malaise (UCR). Panamá, Chiriqui, V. de Chiriqui, 2500­4000 ft., Champion (BMNH).
Discussion: I previously synonymized this species with P. modicus (Hespenheide 1979), but recent study of the type series and additional material leads me to reconsider them distinct species. The type series of 10 specimens is very uniform in morphology, size and coloration, as is the specimen from nearby Costa Rica. The few widely separated specimens from México lack the apical elytral callosities and differ in other ways from the type series and may not belong to this species. Waterhouse (1889) compared vicinus to transitorius, to which it is very similar in coloration, but it seems closer to lesueuri and modicus in the coarsely rugose pronotal sculpture, apical elytral callosities, and male genitalia. Before reexamining the type series, I had in fact thought the few additional, widely scattered specimens might be hybrids between transitorius and lesueuri. The number and uniformity of the type series argues for retaining the species as distinct, but the questions of distinctiveness and relationships invite further study.

description: Literature shows that people having their peak performance in the evening (as opposed to morning) tend to experience greater sleep inertia during working days because they accumulate a sleep debt that it is compensated only during the weekend (also known as “social jet-lag” effect). Such sleep inertia not only determines lower efficiency but also lower alertness during morning, a condition that favors the increase of both thought suppression and ruminative processes. The present study is aimed to investigate whether the relationship between sleep inertia and the increase in ruminative processes is mediated by thought suppression. A sample of university students was involved in a cross-sectional study. Results support the mediation effect of thought suppression. The present study, even if with all the limits of the cross-sectional design, discuss results supporting the hypothesis that people with greater sleep inertia in their attempt to deal with negative mood tend to recur too often to maladaptive strategies like thought suppression that however have the paradoxical effect to increase ruminative thoughts and lastly increase their negative mood.

description: Despite the extensive studies of topological states, their characterization in strongly nonlinear classical systems has been lacking. In this work, we identify the proper definition of Berry phase for nonlinear bulk modes and characterize topological phases in one-dimensional (1D) generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equations in the strongly nonlinear regime. We develop an analytic strategy to demonstrate the quantization of nonlinear Berry phase due to reflection symmetry. Mode amplitude itself plays a key role in nonlinear modes and controls topological phase transitions. We then show bulk-boundary correspondence by identifying the associated nonlinear topological edge modes. Interestingly, anomalous topological modes decay away from lattice boundaries to plateaus governed by fixed points of nonlinearities. We propose passive photonic and active electrical systems that can be experimentally implemented. Our work opens the door to the rich physics between topological phases of matter and nonlinear dynamics.

description: To create valid instruments for measuring alexithymia is a first step to analyze the relationship, so poorly studied, between this construct and health in developmental age. The aim of this paper is to describe the process of construction and the pilot administration of a new instrument for the assessment of alexithymia in children from 4 to 8 years old, that implicated several revisions of the stimuli, of the scale and of the dimensions investigated. The instrument includes two parts, the first one for the evaluation of the basic emotions (happiness, anger sadness, fear) and the second one for the complex emotions (guilt, shame, loneliness, envy); for each part two dimensions are investigated, the ability to identify and describe the emotions and the capacity to produce fantasy stories on emotional topics, with a score on a three points scale. The stimuli presented to the children are pictures representing emotional situations; for each one children are asked to identify the emotion, to describe what happens in the images and to tell a story on the emotion investigated. The pilot administration led to a final version of the instrument, that is well accepted from children. A further phase of data collection will allow to evaluate the psychometric properties of the instrument, also taking into account gender and age differences.

description: In this work, we develop practical user scheduling algorithms for downlink bursty traffic with emphasis on user fairness. In contrast to the conventional scheduling algorithms that either equally divides the transmission time slots among users or maximizing some ratios without physcial meanings, we propose to use the 5%-tile user data rate (5TUDR) as the metric to evaluate user fairness. Since it is difficult to directly optimize 5TUDR, we first cast the problem into the stochastic game framework and subsequently propose a Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL)-based algorithm to perform distributed optimization on the resource block group (RBG) allocation. Furthermore, each MARL agent is designed to take information measured by network counters from multiple network layers (e.g. Channel Quality Indicator, Buffer size) as the input states while the RBG allocation as action with a proposed reward function designed to maximize 5TUDR. Extensive simulation is performed to show that the proposed MARL-based scheduler can achieve fair scheduling while maintaining good average network throughput as compared to conventional schedulers.

Subjects: political candidates’ faces; competence; trustworthiness; city size

description: Many recent studies show that election outcomes correlate with judgments based on the first impression of a candidate’s face. In our study, we showed the faces of 32 pairs of politicians from small and medium cities to 70 students, and we asked them to make judgments about competence and trustworthiness based on the candidates’ faces. As an initial hypothesis, we wanted to test if competence and trustworthiness inferences based only on an image of political candidate’s face, would have the same predictive power with reference to actual electoral outcomes. As a second hypothesis, we tested whether the predictive power of inferences based on candidate’s face varies according to the size of the city of the actual elections. Results show that ratings of trustworthiness and competence based on facial appearance predicted the electoral outcomes for cities with more than 15.000 habitants, but that electoral outcomes of small cities were less correlated with such inferences, especially as far as trustworthiness is concerned.

Stochastic Method and Convex Optimization in Inverse Electromagnetic Scattering
Creators: name: Liu, Yangqing
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The electromagnetic scattering phenomenon is characterized by the electric field integral equation. In inverse problems, this integral equation describes the nonlinear relationship between the unknown complex permittivity distribution in an investigation domain and the observable scattered fields. This thesis tackles the nonlinearity with two approaches. First, the Born iterative method is enhanced by regularization techniques, algebraic reconstruction technique and conjugate gradient; then we use Bayesian inference to estimate the conditional mean of the posterior for the unknown permittivity given scattered field data with Monte Carlo Markov chain (MCMC). The conditional mean estimates not only incorporate prior knowledge from results obtained by BIM, but also avoid the nonlinearity by computing the linear forward model. Second, we consider the inverse scattering problem from a convex optimization perspective, which approximates the inverse scattering as a convex optimization problem and provides an estimation of the internal electric field inside the domain under investigation without a priori knowledge or tuning parameters. Then the estimated internal field is used to reconstruct the unknown contrast permittivity, which is represented by a superposition of level-1 Haar wavelet transform basis functions. Subject to L1-norm constraints of the wavelet coefficients, a LASSO problem that searches for the global minimum of the L2-norm residual is exploited by accounting for the sparsity of the wavelet-based permittivity representation. Numerical results are presented to assess the effectiveness of the proposed formulation against objects with relatively small electric size, and this approach is validated against experimental data.

Paragrilus exiguus (Chevrolat), Saunders, 1871: 127.
Diagnosis: Slender, black throughout, with faint golden reflections on elytra; 2.7­4.35 mm long. Head with front convex, narrowly, moderately impressed along midline on upper 2/ 3; epistoma depressed and rather narrow between antennal insertions, ventral margin slightly produced, shallowly emarginate with acute lateral angles; surface finely punctate, shagreened. Pronotum very convex, almost globose, prehumeral callosity weakly indicated by shallow lateral depressions; disc rather strongly depressed along basal margin, slightly interrupted by narrow raised area before scutellum; surface weakly, finely rugose. Elytra with posthumeral carina extending to beyond posterior coxae, surface rugose; apices broadly rounded­subquadrate. Posterior angles of hind coxae acutely rounded, slightly flared. Male genitalia black with transparent tips to lateral lobes (Fig. 22).

description: We study the distribution and generation of quantum coherence for two-mode and multi-mode Gaussian states in de Sitter space. It is found that the quantum coherence is redistributed among the mode in different open charts under the curvature effect of de Sitter space. In particular, the Gaussian coherence for the initially correlated state is found to survive in the limit of infinite curvature, while quantum entanglement vanishing in this limit. Unlike entanglement and steering, the coherence of a massive scalar field is more robust than a massless field under the influence of curvature of de Sitter space. In addition, it is shown that the curvature generates two-mode Gaussian state and three-mode Gaussian state quantum coherence among the open charts, even though the observers are localized in causally disconnected regions. It is worth noting that the gravity-generated three-mode coherence is extremely sensitive to the curvature effect for the conformal and massless scalar fields, which may be in principle employed to design an effective detector for the space curvature.

description: Building on the embedding of an $n$-abelian category $\mathscr{M}$ into an abelian category $\mathcal{A}$ as an $n$-cluster-tilting subcategory of $\mathcal{A}$, in this paper we relate the $n$-torsion classes of $\mathscr{M}$ with the torsion classes of $\mathcal{A}$. Indeed, we show that every $n$-torsion class in $\mathscr{M}$ is given by the intersection of a torsion class in $\mathcal{A}$ with $\mathscr{M}$. Moreover, we show that every chain of $n$-torsion classes in the $n$-abelian category $\mathscr{M}$ induces a Harder-Narasimhan filtration for every object of $\mathscr{M}$. We use the relation between $\mathscr{M}$ and $\mathcal{A}$ to show that every Harder-Narasimhan filtration induced by a chain of $n$-torsion classes in $\mathscr{M}$ can be induced by a chain of torsion classes in $\mathcal{A}$. Furthermore, we show that $n$-torsion classes are preserved by Galois covering functors, thus we provide a way to systematically construct new (chains of) $n$-torsion classes.

description: Over the past two decades, an increasing body of literature has supported the validity and utility of the 2x2 Achievement Goal Framework (Elliot & McGregor, 2001) often applied in schools but also in a sports context. In the present study, this model has been applied in a sports context and in particular with a sample of 96 professional swimmers of a medium to élite level. For this aim, we used the Achievement Goal Questionnaire for Sport (AGQ-S) (Conroy, Elliot & Hofer, 2003), analysed alongside other constructs such as orientation and motivational climate in sport, self-efficacy and performance satisfaction. The results suggest that it is mainly the mastery approach that has a key role in directing the motivation, assessing the performance and creating the climate context. Moreover, by comparing the medium-high level athletes with élite athletes, results show that achievement motivations are related to the satisfaction with their own performance in élite athletes.

description: The highly convergent form of superfluid density in disordered conventional superconductors available in the literature and independently obtained by us following the approach of an earlier paper [Phys. Rev. B $\bm{102}$, 024514 (2020)] has been reformulated to separate out the generally used so-called `dirty-limit' term and an additional term. We use this new expression for making an extensive comparison with previously published experimental data and show that the former, generally used, term is {\em not} sufficient for analyzing these results. We point out that consequently, there is a large regime (disordered superconductors with moderate to no disorder) where theoretical predictions need to be confronted with experiment.

Crip Couture as Radical Care: Fashion, Art Therapy, and Disability Art

description: Crip Couture is arts-based research and an umbrella term that I created to describe an aspirational theory and set of artistic practices that articulate how disabled people might engage with beauty and fashion without referencing the dominant culture’s distortive and oppressive standards of normalcy. As an artist-scholar, I counter medically, socially, politically, and culturally oppressive forces by creating wearable art that incorporates disabled people’s full, intersectional identities, or what Tobin Siebers calls our “complex embodiment.” Crip Couture as a practice is also a form of radical care work, which is non-hierarchical mutual support between individual disabled people, and a form of shared culture making. Crip Couture is an example of Aurora Levine Morales’s articulation of “homemade theory,” which, through what Audre Lorde calls the “power of the erotic,” brings together personal and collective disability narratives, activism, community building, and collective artmaking to produce and assemble a disability culture archive toward the end of disability justice. This dissertation is itself a disability culture archive that includes a critical examination of disability representation, a Crip Couture Manifesto, photographs and a discussion of my original Crip Couture body adornments, documentation of disability community art-making projects, and my own life writing that explores my childhood in Taiwan, young adulthood, activism, work as an art therapist, and doctoral research.

Agrilus modicus Solier, 1833: 304.
Paragrilus modicus (Solier), Saunders, 1871: 127.
Paragrilus vavrai Obenberger, 1924: 150 (synonymy: Hespenheide1979: 117).
Diagnosis: Robust, head and pronotum black, elytra with dark purple reflections, [] mm long. Head with front convex, eyes prominent, rather broadly, moderately impressed along midline on upper 2/3; epistoma depressed and rather narrow between antennal insertions, ventral margin slightly produced, subtruncate or shallowly emarginate; surface obsoletely, finely punctate, shagreened. Pronotum broader than long, shallowly convex, almost flattened, prehumeral callosity strongly indicated by narrow, deep lateral depressions; disc rather strongly depressed along basal margin; surface rugose. Elytra with posthumeral carina extending to beyond hind coxae, surface weakly rugose, with third interval raised and weak raised callosities at apical 1/3; apices broadly rounded­subquadrate. Posterior angles of hind coxae subquadrate, slightly flared. Male genitalia dark brown, paler medially, with transparent tips to lateral lobes (Fig. 23).
Type: of Agrilus modicus, “ Columbia “ (MNHN; Hespenheide 1979); of P. vavrai, Costa­Rica (NMPC).
Distribution: Costa Rica to South America.
Specimens examined: Colombia: Valle, Rio Jamundi, 10 mi S Cali, 3000’ 25.II.1970, H.F. Howden (CMNC).

description: The paper explores the recovery approach in relation to the wider debate on the concept of health. The recovery imply a psychological approach focused on the relational system in order to improve the health and the wellbeing of the whole system, instead of focusing on the individual therapy of the person with mental disability. In the Adult Day Care Center for mental disability all the actors involved, professionals and users, set the system of relationships according to their specific needs, requests and resources. The supervision is a relevant tool in the recovery approach as it allows to work with professionals in order to improve the whole system wellbeing. The supervision allows the professionals in making sense of their professionals relationship with users with mental disability. According to this a case study is reported. In order to highlight the principals of the supervision in the recovery approach. The case study explain the process of supervision that has been carried out in an Adult Day Care Center for people with mental disability of Rome . It highlights the factors improving the development of the system involving both professionals and users.

Subjects: Job insecurity; exploratory factorial analysis; confirmatory factorial analysis

description: The perception of job insecurity is a frequent and increasing phenomenon in the current social and economic context. The availability of reliable and valid metrics to measure this phenomenon is of paramount importance. In the present paper, we suggest a modification to the Chirumbolo et al.’s (2015) job insecurity scale, revising an item from the Italian version. A questionnaire was submitted to 315 Italian employees. One hundred and fifty-seven employees filled in the original scale and one hundred and fifty-eight employees filled in the modified scale with the proposed revision. Both a confirmatory and exploratory factorial analysis showed that the modified item better describes worries and concerns related to job insecurity. Moreover, the modified scale’s reliability improves compared to the original one.

description: Large datasets in NLP suffer from noisy labels, due to erroneous automatic and human annotation procedures. We study the problem of text classification with label noise, and aim to capture this noise through an auxiliary noise model over the classifier. We first assign a probability score to each training sample of having a noisy label, through a beta mixture model fitted on the losses at an early epoch of training. Then, we use this score to selectively guide the learning of the noise model and classifier. Our empirical evaluation on two text classification tasks shows that our approach can improve over the baseline accuracy, and prevent over-fitting to the noise.

Subjects: siblings; sibling relationships; autism spectrum condition; support’s needs

description: There is little research on the relationships between adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorders and their siblings, despite the importance of these relationships for individual’s psychological well-being and future care that could be planned by siblings. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine sibling relationships in families with an adolescent or young adult with Autism spectrum disorder. We conducted in-person semi-structured interviews with 30 siblings aged 11 to 30 of adolescents and young adults aged 16 to 26 with ASDs, giving to participants the opportunity to describe the sibling relationship in terms of similarity and differences, siblings’ demands, feelings of responsibility for siblings’ well-being, their future perspective time, and the identification of the support’s needs. The results lead to several interesting suggestions to plan support’s projects for adolescents siblings and young adults. Implications for research and clinical practice related to sibling relationships in atypical development are provided.

description: The gravitational redshift induced by stellar surface gravity is notoriously difficult to measure for non-degenerate stars, since its amplitude is small in comparison with the typical Doppler shift induced by stellar radial velocity. In this study, we make use of the large observational data set of the Gaia mission to achieve a significant reduction of noise caused by these random stellar motions. By measuring the differences in velocities between the components of pairs of co-moving stars and wide binaries, we are able to statistically measure the combined effects of gravitational redshift and convective blueshifting of spectral lines, and nullify the effect of the peculiar motions of the stars. For the subset of stars considered in this study, we find a positive correlation between the observed differences in Gaia radial velocities and the differences in surface gravity and convective blueshift inferred from effective temperature and luminosity measurements. The results rule out a null signal at the $5σ$ level for our full data-set. Additionally, we study the sub-dominant effects of binary motion, and possible systematic errors in radial velocity measurements within Gaia. Results from the technique presented in this study are expected to improve significantly with data from the next Gaia data release. Such improvements could be used to constrain the mass-luminosity relation and stellar models which predict the magnitude of convective blueshift.
