Creators: name: Shaw, Mary
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: 80399 Computer Software not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Progress in both software and hardware technology over the past decade make it timely to re-examine our curriculum in software engineering and related topics. This manifesto describes the Carnegie Mellon approach to software engineering, the essential capabilities of a software engineer, and the pedagogical principles that guide our curriculum design. Our objective here is to articulate Carnegie Mellon"s core academic values for the discipline of software engineering. This characterization of software engineering covers undergraduate, professional, and research curricula. It is informed by other software engineering curriculum designs, but it is independent of them. Curriculum design must reconcile the objectives of numerous stakeholders; this document states the case of the academic-values stakeholder.
Oral Dysbiosis and Depressed Mucosal Immunity Exacerbate Oral PASC in an Underserved Minority Cohort
Creators: name: Hezarkhani, Armita
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Background: Previous reports have revealed that periodontal disease (PD) was associated with presence of CoVID-19. We note Black/Hispanics compared to other racial populations have higher prevalence rates for PD and CoVID-19 and subsequent post-acute sequelae conditions (PASC) suggesting racial disparity issues. Hypothesized was PD is pre-conditioning oral mucosa for PD as a PASC from CoVID-19. Methods: A pilot study was conducted to assess PD multivariant ANOVA significant associations (CI at 95%, p<0.001) to CoVID-19 and PASC in a Black/Hispanic patient population attending clinic at Mile Square, FQHC and College of Dentistry (COD), UIC. Using a retrospective analysis (N=576, self-report CoVID+/ 576, CoVID-) of PD charted and diagnosed using standard PD criteria, and prospective analysis of PD (N=80, 40-CoVID+/ 40-COVID-; N=10 health control (HC)(white). In addition, activated saliva (paraffin chew, 5 min) derived oral microbiome (16S rRNA), viromics (metagenonmics shotgun sequencing, NGS; PCR), and mucosal immunity (flow cytometrics, PCR-qRNA) supported alternate avenues to canonical receptor expressions (ACE2/TMPRSS). Results: (1) Elevated ACE2/TMPRSS and SARS-CoV-2 -Spike (S) protein is found in CoVID+/- vs. HC in PD+, PASC+ (p<0.001) (2) Periopathogen, Tannella forsythia, predominant in a loss of diversity. (3) Significant probability (p<0.001) CMV is present. (4) Immune cell shift to macrophage and Th17(CD3+) increasing IL-6, TNF-a, IL-17A,IL-10 suppressing factors. (p<0.0001). Conclusion: Racial diversity significant probability is for PD as an oral PASC derived from COVID-19 resulting from dysbiosis and oral mucosal immune depression increasing loss of tolerance.

Large arboreal Galois representations

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Given a field $K$, a polynomial $f \in K[x]$, and a suitable element $t \in K$, the set of preimages of $t$ under the iterates $f^{\circ n}$ carries a natural structure of a $d$-ary tree. We study conditions under which the absolute Galois group of $K$ acts on the tree by the full group of automorphisms. When $K=\mathbb{Q}$ we exhibit examples of polynomials of every even degree with maximal Galois action on the preimage tree, partially affirming a conjecture of Odoni. We also study the case of $K=F(t)$ and $f \in F[x]$ in which the corresponding Galois groups are the monodromy groups of the ramified covers $f^{\circ n}: \mathbb{P}^1_F \to \mathbb{P}^1_F$.

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The goal of this roadmap paper is to summarize the state-of-the-art and identify research challenges when developing, deploying and managing self-adaptive software systems. Instead of dealing with a wide range of topics associated with the field, we focus on four essential topics of self-adaptation: design space for self-adaptive solutions, software engineering processes for self-adaptive systems, from centralized to decentralized control, and practical run-time verification & validation for self-adaptive systems. For each topic, we present an overview, suggest future directions, and focus on selected challenges. This paper complements and extends a previous roadmap on software engineering for self-adaptive systems published in 2009 covering a different set of topics, and reflecting in part on the previous paper. This roadmap is one of the many results of the Dagstuhl Seminar 10431 on Software Engineering for Self-Adaptive Systems, which took place in October 2010.
The Highest Energy Neutrinos
Creators: name: Halzen, Francis
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Measurements of the arrival directions of cosmic rays have not revealed their sources. High energy neutrino telescopes attempt to resolve the problem by detecting neutrinos whose directions are not scrambled by magnetic fields. The key issue is whether the neutrino flux produced in cosmic ray accelerators is detectable. It is believed that the answer is affirmative, both for the galactic and extragalactic sources, provided the detector has kilometer-scale dimensions. We revisit the case for kilometer-scale neutrino detectors in a model-independent way by focussing on the energetics of the sources. The real breakthrough though has not been on the theory but on the technology front: the considerable technical hurdles to build such detectors have been overcome. Where extragalactic cosmic rays are concerned an alternative method to probe the accelerators consists in studying the arrival directions of neutrinos produced in interactions with the microwave background near the source, i.e. within a GZK radius. Their flux is calculable within large ambiguities but, in any case, low. It is therefore likely that detectors that are larger yet by several orders of magnitudes are required. These exploit novel techniques, such as detecting the secondary radiation at radio wavelengths emitted by neutrino induced showers.

description: We present a mask aligner driven by three piezo motors which guides and aligns a SiN shadow mask under capacitive control towards a sample surface. The three capacitors for read out are located at the backside of the thin mask such that the mask can be placed in $μ$m distance from the sample surface, while keeping it parallel to the surface. Samples and masks can be exchanged in-situ and the mask can additionally be displaced parallel to the surface. We demonstrate an edge sharpness of the deposited structures below 100 nm, which is likely limited by the diffusion of the deposited Au on Si(111).

description: Are they still electrifying? Electrochemically switchable rotaxanes are well known for their ability to efficiently undergo changes of (co-)conformation and properties under redox-control. Thus, these mechanically interlocked assemblies represent an auspicious liaison between the fields of molecular switches and molecular electronics. Since the first reported example of a redox-switchable molecular shuttle in 1994, improved tools of organic and supramolecular synthesis have enabled sophisticated new architectures, which provide precise control over properties and function. This perspective covers recent advances in the area of electrochemically active rotaxanes including novel molecular switches and machines, metal-containing rotaxanes, non-equilibrium systems and potential applications.
Test configurations, large deviations and geodesic rays on toric varieties

description: This article contains a detailed study, in the toric case, of the test configuration geodesic rays defined by Phong-Sturm. We show that the `Bergman approximations' of Phong-Sturm converge in C^1 to the geodesic ray and that the geodesic ray itself is C^{1,1} and no better. The \kahler metrics associated to the geodesic ray of potentials are discontinuous across certain hypersurfaces and are degenerate on certain open sets. A novelty in the analysis is the connection between Bergman metrics, Bergman kernels and the theory of large deviations.

Predicting Lyman-alpha escape fractions with a simple observable: Lyman-alpha in emission as an empirically calibrated star formation rate indicator

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Lyman-alpha (Lya) is intrinsically the brightest line emitted from active galaxies. While it originates from many physical processes, for star-forming galaxies the intrinsic Lya luminosity is a direct tracer of the Lyman-continuum (LyC) radiation produced by the most massive O- and early-type B-stars with lifetimes of a few Myrs. As such, Lya luminosity should be an excellent instantaneous star formation rate (SFR) indicator. However, its resonant nature and susceptibility to dust as a rest-frame UV photon makes Lya very hard to interpret due to the uncertain Lya escape fraction, f$_{esc,Lyα}$. Here we explore results from the CALYMHA survey at z=2.2, follow-up of Lya emitters (LAEs) at z=2.2-2.6 and a z~0-0.3 compilation of LAEs to directly measure f$_{esc,Lyα}$ with H-alpha (Ha). We derive a simple empirical relation that robustly retrieves f$_{esc,Lyα}$ as a function of Lya rest-frame EW (EW$_0$): f$_{esc,Lyα}$= 0.0048 EW$_0$[A]$\pm0.05$ and we show that it constrains a well-defined anti-correlation between ionisation efficiency and dust extinction in LAEs. Observed Lya luminosities and EW$_0$ are easy measurable quantities at high redshift, thus making our relation a practical tool to estimate intrinsic Lya and LyC luminosities under well controlled and simple assumptions. Our results allow observed Lya luminosities to be used to compute SFRs for LAEs at z~0-2.6 within 0.2 dex of the Ha dust corrected SFRs. We apply our empirical SFR(Lya,EW$_0$) calibration to several sources at z>2.6 to find that star-forming LAEs have SFRs typically ranging from 0.1 to 20 M$_{\odot}$/yr and that our calibration might be even applicable for the most luminous LAEs within the epoch of re-ionisation. Our results imply high ionisation efficiencies and low dust content in LAEs across cosmic time, and will be easily tested with future observations with JWST.

description: In this thesis I investigate the usage and meanings of sexual identity labels in a corpus of contemporary fictional first-person narratives featuring female same-sex attraction written for teenagers. I focus on how the relationships between female characters and sexual identity labels are portrayed in these Young Adult novels. I developed my analytical approach from cognitive and corpus linguistics as well as Queer Discourse Studies. Based on the manual annotation of concordance lines and the clustering of the occurrences of the labels, I provide an overview of their usage patterns and a detailed account of their functioning in selected text passages. My results indicate that, in these texts, acceptance of same-sex sexuality is discursively linked to gay and/or lesbian sexual identity. A prominent means in the construction of this link is the use of syntactically subordinated identity assignments to reflect upon implications of sexual identity. Furthermore, the texts in the corpus tend to discursively erase or suppress conceptualizations of a person’s sexual orientation as non-exclusive to one sex. Conversely, same-sex sexual activity, a relationship, and/or attraction is the crucial property in identification with a label denoting same-sex sexual identity; this applies especially to private self-identification. Overall, the portrayal of the characters exhibits internalization of social categorization including specifically female same-sex labelling. A major contribution of the thesis is the development of a methodology for Discourse Analysis of fictional narratives which can elucidate the usage patterns of sexual identity labels. Hence, my approach has enabled tracing the indications for cognitive, semantic, and social structures manifest in the corpus investigated. In particular it has elucidated the normalized as well as the marginalized identities discursively constructed in a corpus of Anglophone realist Young Adult fiction about sexuality.

ED Slit Lamp Interdisciplinary Training with Longitudinal Assessment in Medical Practice
Creators: name: Zhang, Xiao Chi
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Introduction: Eye emergencies make up for nearly three percent of the United States emergency department (ED) visits. While emergency physicians (EPs) should be trained to diagnose and treat these ophthalmologic emergencies, many trainees report limited ocular exposure and report insufficient training throughout their residency to confidently conduct a thorough a slit-lamp exam.
Objectives: To teach emergency physicians how to complete a throughout slit-lamp exam using a simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) curriculum.
Methods: We created an interdisciplinary curriculum on diagnosing eye pathologies and operating the slit lamp with independent readiness assessments (IRAT), multi-modal learning options (i.e. video recordings, PowerPoint, text-book references), targeted towards EP at a tertiary academic center. EPs would first demonstrate their initial slit-lamp competency in-person with a 20-item checklist and be asked to review our learning modules before completing their IRAT. EPs who score a minimal passing IRAT score will then be able to complete their second, in-person, teaching and demonstration session with an ophthalmology attending to demonstrate procedural mastery (minimal score >90%).
Results: From 2021-2023,15 EPs (6 females and 9 males) were enrolled in ED SLIT LAMP. All EPs completed the final exam of the curriculum. The pre- and post-curriculum checklist scores increased by an average of seven points (p<0.002). 86.7 percent of EPs felt confident in completing a slit-lamp exam after the curriculum, in contrast to 20% at the beginning of the study. Five out of 15 physicians reported teaching learners within the 2-month post-curricular period, ranging from five to up to 30 students. The hands-on teaching was the most positively reviewed element of the curriculum.
Conclusions: The SBML program successfully trained EPs on performing a comprehensive slit-lamp exam with promising results of downstream education to junior learners shortly after our pilot study. We encourage other institutions to leverage SBML as a teaching modality for procedural-based training and advocate cross-disciplined education initiatives.

description: The effect of argon ion bombardment on the chemical properties of crystalline Ta$_2$O$_5$ films grown on Si(100) substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. All samples were irradiated for several time intervals [(0.5, 3, 6, 9) min] and the Ta $4f$ and O $1s$ core levels were measured each time. Upon analysis at the surface of the films, we observe the Ta $4f$ spectrum characteristic of Ta$_2$O$_5$. Irradiated samples exhibit the formation of Ta suboxides with oxidation states Ta$^{1+}$, Ta$^{2+}$, Ta$^{3+}$, Ta$^{4+}$, and Ta$^{5+}$. Exposing the films, after ion bombardment, to ambient for some days stimulates the amorphous phase of Ta$_2$O$_5$ at the surface suggesting that the suboxides of Ta are unstable. Using a sputtering simulation we discuss that these suboxides are largely generated during ion bombardment that greatly reduces the oxygen to tantalum ratio as the irradiation time increases. The computer simulation indicates that this is due to the high sputtering yield of oxygen.

description: Electrical power generation from a moderate temperature thermal source by means of direct conversion of infrared radiation is important and highly desirable for energy harvesting from waste heat and micropower applications. Here, we demonstrate direct rectified power generation from an unbiased large-area nanoantenna-coupled tunnel diode rectifier, called a rectenna. Using a vacuum radiometric measurement technique with irradiation from a temperature-stabilized thermal source, a generated power density of 8 nW/cm$^2$ is observed at a source temperature of 450C for the unbiased rectenna across an optimized load resistance. The optimized load resistance for the peak power generation for each temperature coincides with the tunnel diode resistance at zero bias and corresponds to the impedance matching condition for a rectifying antenna. Current voltage measurements of a thermally illuminated large-area rectenna show current zero crossing shifts into the second quadrant indicating rectification. Photon-assisted tunneling in the unbiased rectenna is modeled as the mechanism for the large short-circuit photocurrents observed where the photon energy serves as an effective bias across the tunnel junction. The measured current and voltage across the load resistor as a function of the thermal source temperature represents direct current electrical power generation.

description: Finite difference schemes, using Backward Differentiation Formula (BDF), are studied for the approximation of one-dimensional diffusion equations with an obstacle term, of the form $$\min(v_t - a(t,x) v_{xx} + b(t,x) v_x + r(t,x) v, v- φ(t,x))= f(t,x).$$ For the scheme building on the second order BDF formula (BDF2), we discuss unconditional stability, prove an $L^2$-error estimate and show numerically second order convergence, in both space and time, unconditionally on the ratio of the mesh steps. In the analysis, an equivalence of the obstacle equation with a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation is mentioned, and a Crank-Nicolson scheme is tested in this context. Two academic problems for parabolic equations with an obstacle term with explicit solutions and the American option problem in mathematical finance are used for numerical tests.

We find that the best fit happens for an open scenario with the power index $α= 1.14 \pm 0.05$, though the flat and closed model can not be rule out at very high confidence level.} {Our results are in agreement with other recent analyses and show that the X-ray gas mass fraction measurements in clusters of galaxies provide a complementary test to the power law cosmology.

Riverscape Genetics of Rainbow (Etheostoma caeruleum) and Orangethroat (E. spectabile) Darters
Creators: name: Belcik, John Thomas
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Freshwater darters are widely distributed in the Central and Southern United States. This dissertation examines two groups of darters, the species Rainbow Darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) and select members of the Orangethroat Darter complex (Ceasia). In Chapters 1 and 2, I conducted a riverscape analysis of Rainbow Darters and Ceasia members to evaluate population genetic structure and diversity, and to identify the possible drivers, contemporary or historical, that underlie the genetic patterns. Chapter 1 analysis of Rainbow Darters identified two genetic clusters, one comprised of fish collected from more southerly sites and one comprised of fish from more northernly sites that corresponded to sites that were either unglaciated or glaciated during the last glacial maximum (LGM). Chapter 2 analysis of Ceasia revealed two well-differentiated genetic clusters of in samples from glaciated regions and a single cluster in the unglaciated region. This suggests that there was expansion from two isolated glacial refugia, with little subsequent post-glacial gene flow. In both analysis, fish collected from throughout the unglaciated region were less genetically differentiated. In Chapter 2 in particular fish assigned to E. burri and E. uniporum based on collection sites and morphological characters were not genetically differentiated from E. spectabile samples from the region. Hybridization and introgression occurring in the Central Highlands may confound genetic delineation of species in this region of high endemism and diversity. Overall, the findings demonstrate the lasting legacy of glacial history on contemporary genetic structure and diversity of a North American riverine species. Chapter 3 utilized genetic and meristic analysis to determine possible genetic interactions between all study species. Distinct genetic clusters were determined that corresponded with Rainbow Darters and Ceasia members. Morphological hybrids were identified but no genetic evidence of apparent hybridization was present to support their hybrid status. Results show that genetically determined groups better corresponded to current species delimitations than groups determined through morphological characters.

description: Crowdsourcing enables one to leverage on the intelligence and wisdom of potentially large groups of individuals toward solving problems. Common problems approached with crowdsourcing are labeling images, translating or transcribing text, providing opinions or ideas, and similar - all tasks that computers are not good at or where they may even fail altogether. The introduction of humans into computations and/or everyday work, however, also poses critical, novel challenges in terms of quality control, as the crowd is typically composed of people with unknown and very diverse abilities, skills, interests, personal objectives and technological resources. This survey studies quality in the context of crowdsourcing along several dimensions, so as to define and characterize it and to understand the current state of the art. Specifically, this survey derives a quality model for crowdsourcing tasks, identifies the methods and techniques that can be used to assess the attributes of the model, and the actions and strategies that help prevent and mitigate quality problems. An analysis of how these features are supported by the state of the art further identifies open issues and informs an outlook on hot future research directions.

description: Although the self-adaptability of systems has been studied in a wide range of disciplines, from biology to robotics, only recently has the software engineering community recognized its key role in enabling the development of self-adaptive systems that are able to adapt to internal faults, changing requirements, and evolving environments. The 15 carefully reviewed papers included in this state-of-the-art survey were presented at the International Seminar on "Software Engineering for Self-Adaptive Systems", held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in October 2010. Continuing the course of the first book of the series on "Software Engineering for Self-Adaptive Systems" the collection of papers in this second volume comprises a research roadmap accompanied by four elaborating working group papers. Next there are two parts - with three papers each - entitled "Requirements and Policies" and "Design Issues"; part four of the book contains four papers covering a wide range of "Applications".

description: The tree-level $b\rightarrow c{\ell}\barν_{\ell}$ based hadronic transitions have been on the focus of much attention since recording significant deviations of the experimental data, on the ratios of the branching fractions in $ τ$ and $ e-μ$ channels of the semileptonic $ B \rightarrow D $ transition, from the SM predictions by BaBar Collaboration in 2012. It can be of great importance to look whether similar discrepancies take place in the semileptonic baryonic $Λ_{b}\rightarrow Λ_{c}{\ell}\barν_{\ell}$ decay channel or not. In this accordance we estimate the decay width as well as the ratios of the branching fractions in $ τ$ and $ e-μ$ channels of this baryonic transition by calculating the form factors, entering the amplitude of this transition as the main inputs, in the framework of QCD sum rules in full theory. We compare the obtained results with the predictions of other theoretical studies. Our results may be compared with the corresponding future experimental data to look for possible deviations of data from the SM predictions.

Robustly Complete Synthesis of Memoryless Controllers for Nonlinear Systems with Reach-and-Stay Specifications

description: This paper proposes a finitely terminating algorithm to solve reach-and-stay control problems for nonlinear systems. The algorithm is guaranteed to return a control strategy if the specification is robustly realizable. Such a feature is desirable as the commonly used abstraction-based methods are sound but not complete for systems that are not incrementally stable. Fundamental to the proposed method is a fixed-point characterization of the winning set of the system with respect to a given specification, i.e., the initial states that can be controlled to satisfy the specification. The use of an adaptive partitioning scheme not only guarantees the approximation precision of the winning set but also reduces computational time. The effectiveness and efficiency are illustrated by several benchmarking examples.

description: In this paper a connection between the holographic dark energy model and the $f(R)$ theory is established. We treat the $f(R)$ theory as an effective description for the holographic dark energy and reconstruct the function $f(R)$ with the parameter $c>1$, $c=1$ and $c<1$, respectively. We show the distinctive behavior of each cases realized in $f(R)$ theory, especially for the future evolution.

Software Defect Masquerade Faults in Distributed Embedded Systems

description: Distributed embedded systems often consist of multiple nodes that communicate over a shared network. For such systems, dependable message delivery among nodes is crucial to overall system dependability. One threat to this dependable message delivery is a software defect masquerade fault, where a software defect causes one node or process to send a message as having come from another node or process. Unfortunately, many embedded system designs do not address this particular failure mode. This paper outlines what software defect masquerade faults are and why they are often ignored in current embedded systems. We also present preliminary research into methods to prevent them in embedded system design.
Modulation of Reward Sensitivity by Acute and Chronic Thirst
Creators: name: Donka, Rachel Miranda
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: States of physiological need motivate individuals to perform behaviors that restore homeostatic balance, such as seeking and consuming needed stimuli. This goal-directed behavior may be driven by modulation of the mesolimbic dopamine system by physiological state, altering reward sensitivity. While the effects of hunger on reward sensitivity have been widely researched, the effects of thirst have been largely unexplored. To determine the influence of acute and chronic states of thirst on reward sensitivity, I used a well validated intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) rate frequency paradigm (Carlezon & Chartoff, 2007).
First, subjects were acutely water deprived for 22-hours prior to the ICSS session. No effects of acute deprivation were detected on reward sensitivity. To further elucidate the circuitry underlying thirst sensing, the excitatory glutamatergic neurons of the subfornical organ, a key circumventricular organ involved in thirst sensing, were targeted with DREADDs and activated via administration of the exogenous ligand clozapine-N-oxide prior to ICSS. Again, no effects on reward sensitivity were detected. Finally, subjects underwent a five-day chronic water restriction protocol with daily ICSS sessions to determine the effects of sustained physiological need. Chronic water restriction significantly increased the stimulation threshold on days two, three, and four, indicating that subjects were significantly less sensitive to reward compared to baseline. This contrasts with prior literature demonstrating that in response to chronic food restriction, ICSS thresholds decrease and subjects display increased reward sensitivity.
Together, these results indicate that changes in physiological state alter the responsiveness of reward circuitry. These shifts may prime responding to need fulfilling stimuli and invigorate goal directed behavior, but could also potentially exacerbate maladaptive behaviors to seek out other rewarding stimuli, such as seen in substance use and eating disorders. Future research should explore the interchange between need states and maladaptive behaviors.
Impact of reionization on CMB polarization tests of slow-roll inflation

description: Estimates of inflationary parameters from the CMB B-mode polarization spectrum on the largest scales depend on knowledge of the reionization history, especially at low tensor-to-scalar ratio. Assuming an incorrect reionization history in the analysis of such polarization data can strongly bias the inflationary parameters. One consequence is that the single-field slow-roll consistency relation between the tensor-to-scalar ratio and tensor tilt might be excluded with high significance even if this relation holds in reality. We explain the origin of the bias and present case studies with various tensor amplitudes and noise characteristics. A more model-independent approach can account for uncertainties about reionization, and we show that parametrizing the reionization history by a set of its principal components with respect to E-mode polarization removes the bias in inflationary parameter measurement with little degradation in precision.
