description: SLHA file listing the superpartner masses and decay channels for the signal chargino in strong production
description: CERN-LHC. This paper presents a search for direct electroweak gaugino or gluino pair production with a chargino nearly mass-degenerate with a stable neutralino. It is based on an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The final state of interest is a disappearing track accompanied by at least one jet with high transverse momentum from initial-state radiation or by four jets from the gluino decay chain. The use of short track segments reconstructed from the innermost tracking layers significantly improves the sensitivity to short chargino lifetimes. The results are found to be consistent with Standard Model predictions. Exclusion limits are set at 95% confidence level on the mass of charginos and gluinos for different chargino lifetimes. For a pure wino with a lifetime of about 0.2 ns, chargino masses up to 460 GeV are excluded. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns.

description: The behaviour of everyday real life processes played a greater role in distribution theory. Thus, this article proposes a transmuted Weibull Frechet (TWFr) distribution for modeling real life datasets. Of most important, the statistical properties of the TWFr distribution such as the hazard, survival functions, order statistic, quantile, odd, cumulative functions were derived and examined. A simulation study to examine the performance of the TWFr distribution was also conducted. A glass fiber data and breaking stress of carbon data real life application were used to showcase the performance of the proposed model. The results showed that the TWFr distribution competes favourably well with other types of continuous distributions in the Frechet family of distributions.

title: The Chinese print media’s reporting of domestic ‘terrorist’ attacks: ideographs, social values and counter-terrorism frames
Creators: name: Struve, Bastian
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2019

description: Following the attacks of September 11 2001 in the United States, China proclaimed its own ‘war on terror’ with the Uyghur of Xinjiang as a frontline. At the same time as ongoing US anti-terrorism efforts around the world, the Chinese government deployed repressive campaigns in one of its own troubled regions, campaigns which intensified with the riots in Urumqi in 2009. A series of high-casualty attacks since 2014 demonstrates further exacerbation of the conflict and entailed a strengthening of the counter-terrorism apparatus in the following years. Yet several scholars have questioned the nature of the purported terrorist threat to China, suggesting that the new narrative around the Uyghur issue was an attempt by the regime to preserve its authority and escape international condemnation for the severity of its actions. However, although these scholars highlight the party-state’s use of the terrorism label for the Xinjiang conflict, there is still a comprehensive analysis missing on how the party-state portrays the terrorist threat to its people. Responding to this research problem, this dissertation presents the first systematic analysis Chinese media coverage of domestic ‘terrorist’ attacks. Drawing upon eight cases from 2009 to 2015, and twelve Chinese newspapers, this analysis focuses on the determinants of terrorism coverage and framing patterns through a combination of qualitative content analysis and quantitative text analysis. I argue that the Chinese party-state engages through various methods of news censorship and coordination to construct a terrorist threat that is surprisingly abstract- invoking extremism as the threat, but without referring much to particular agents, organisation or religions. Also, I argue that the party-state uses the abstract terrorism portrayal to campaign against all ‘three evil forces’ (terrorism, extremism, separatism), while also promoting social values that align with the regime’s resilience. The dissertation reveals the various frames that make up the party-state’s terrorist threat construction. It demonstrates that the party-state uses the Xinjiang conflict to rally the Chinese people under the flag of the Chinese Communist Party while also creating the image of an archetypical enemy that can be applied to a large range of party-state perceived threats. These features of the Chinese news coverage of ‘terrorist’ attacks shed light on the mediated reality of the conflict and provide an alternative perspective to US-centred media scholarship on terrorism.

Role of SDF in Reducing Urgent Care Encounters for Patients Awaiting General Anesthesia
Creators: name: Yarmarkovich, Paulina
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Purpose: Primarily, to analyze how application of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) impacts the odds of presenting to urgent care (UC) while awaiting dental treatment under general anesthesia (GA). Secondarily, to analyze descriptive data from UC visits to identify trends associated with a prolonged GA wait time. Methods: Retrospective chart audit of a sample of patients on the GA waitlist for complete oral rehabilitation from January 1st, 2014 to December 31st, 2016. Data points collected include total GA wait time, SDF application, UC presentation, number of encounters, chief complaint and treatment. Age, dmft, sex, race, ethnicity, and identification as special needs were incorporated into data analysis to identify potential trends. Results: Of 1,219 charts, 661 charts were included for analysis. The average wait for GA was 364.8 days. 171/661 patients (26%) presented to UC during this time with pain being the most common chief complaint (73%) and extraction being the most common treatment (55% of UC encounters); The average time between waitlist placement and UC presentation was 171 days. 153/575 non-SDF patients presented to UC (27%) compared to 18/86 (21%) SDF patients. There was positive correlation between days spent on the GA waitlist and number of UC visits (P = .047). Conclusion: Though odds of presenting to UC were decreased with SDF application, this was not found to be statistically significant. There was a significant correlation between the amount of time spent on the GA waitlist and the number of urgent care encounters. More data points could provide more significant results.

description: Periodic Anderson model (PAM), where local electron orbitals interplay with itinerant electronic carriers, plays an essential role in our understanding on heavy fermion materials. Motivated by recent proposal of simulating Kondo lattice model (KLM) in terms of alkaline-earth metal atoms, we make a further step toward simulation of PAM, which includes crucial charge/valence fluctuation of local f-electron beyond purely low-energy spin fluctuation in KLM. To realize PAM, transition induced by suitable laser between electronic excited and ground state of alkaline-earth metal atoms ($^{1}S_{0}$$\rightleftharpoons$$^{3}P_{0}$) is introduced, and it leads to effective hybridization between local electron and conduction electron in PAM. Generally, the $SU(N)$ version of PAM can be realized by our proposal, which gives a unique opportunity to detect large-$N$ physics without complexity in realistic materials. In the present work, high temperature physical feature of standard ($SU(2)$) PAM with harmonic trapping potential is detailed analyzed by quantum Monte Carlo and dynamic mean-field theory. Indications for near-future experiments are provided. We expect our theoretical proposal and (hopefully) forthcoming experiment will deepen our understanding on heavy fermion systems and at the same time triggers further studies on related Mott physics, quantum criticality and non-trivial topology in both inhomogeneous and nonequilibrium realm.

description: Synchronization over networks depends strongly on the structure of the coupling between the oscillators. When the coupling presents certain regularities, the dynamics can be coarse-grained into clusters by means of External Equitable Partitions of the network graph and their associated quotient graphs. We exploit this graph-theoretical concept to study the phenomenon of cluster synchronization, in which different groups of nodes converge to distinct behaviors. We derive conditions and properties of networks in which such clustered behavior emerges, and show that the ensuing dynamics is the result of the localization of the eigenvectors of the associated graph Laplacians linked to the existence of invariant subspaces. The framework is applied to both linear and non-linear models, first for the standard case of networks with positive edges, before being generalized to the case of signed networks with both positive and negative interactions. We illustrate our results with examples of both signed and unsigned graphs for consensus dynamics and for partial synchronization of oscillator networks under the master stability function as well as Kuramoto oscillators.

Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Purpose: Physicians are expected to teach on the wards, but receive very little formal training in medical education. Faculty development programs are one tool to help bridge this gap. These programs may create a community of medical educators, allowing these highly trained learners to benefit from the expertise and support of the entire group. This paper provides a description and evaluation of one faculty development program, with a focus on the creation of a community of practice in medical education. Method: This paper provides an evaluation of a year-long seminar based, multi-level, multi-disciplinary faculty development program at one academic medical center from 2015-2018. Participants in the Honors Program attended seminars, mentored small group sessions, and completed a longitudinal scholarly project. The results of the program are evaluated using participation data, seminar evaluations, and overall evaluations in the form of surveys and semi-structured interviews. Results: Average participation increased from a mean of 39 attendees per seminar in 2015-16, to 83 in 2016-17 and 73 attendees in 2017-18. 12 participants completed the Honors Program in the first year, increasing to 35 in the 2nd and 29 in the 3rd year. Honors Scholars included faculty, students, staff, and residents. Overall ratings for individual seminars were high. The 76 scholars were invited to participate in a program evaluation survey, with a 41% (n=31) response rate. Respondents felt that they had an increased belonging to a community of medical educators, more people to ask for help, and greater confidence in their teaching abilities after the program (p<0.001). 15 semi-structured interviews were completed as well, and responses were coded using the elements of a community of practice, including domain, community, and practice. Conclusions: The creation of a community of practice amongst medical educators was an impactful and meaningful component of this faculty development program.

Predictors of Separate School Placement for Students with Moderate and Severe Disabilities
Creators: name: Walte, Samantha Alexandra
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Though research has consistently supported more inclusive educational settings for all students, many children with complex and intensive needs continue to attend separate schools. This dissertation examines this issue through historical, systematic, and empirical lenses to determine how and why individualized education program teams decide to place students with moderate and severe disabilities in separate school buildings. The first chapter of this compendium provides conceptual and historical background on the issue of student educational environment and the legal and traditional biases that may underlie placement decisions. Highlighting various aspects of the language of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and critically analyzing the dynamics of power and bias, this piece sets the stage for a systematic review of the literature in the second chapter. This review identified 20 research studies that investigated variables such as disability label and socioeconomic status and their relationship to the educational environments of students with moderate and severe disabilities. The original research study presented in the third chapter delves further into the processes that perpetuate segregated placements for this group. The factors that influence teachers’ opinions and students’ ultimate placement in separate schools were examined using a convergent mixed methods design. After analyzing nationwide data using logistic regression to identify the demographic variables that significantly predict placement (i.e., age and urbanicity), 17 teachers in urban schools were interviewed and asked to complete a survey of their students’ adaptive skills (i.e., Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales). Each teacher self-identified as having considered separate school placement for at least one student within the past school year and was asked to describe their experience. Four major themes emerged from their responses through qualitative coding, including students not making measurable progress, particular red flags like mental health diagnoses and hospitalization, limitations and expectations of neighborhood schools, and limited acceptance and inclusion with general education peers at their neighborhood schools. The findings from the research study described in the third chapter directly informed the suggestions for practice and future research described in the fourth and fifth chapters of this compilation.

description: Formation of a splash crown and a cavity following the impact of a sphere on a body of liquid is a classical problem. In the related problem of a droplet splashing on a flat surface, it has been established that the properties of the surrounding gas can influence the splashing threshold. At lower impact speeds, this is due mainly to the influence of gas kinetic effects, since the height of the gas lubrication film which is displaced during dynamic wetting is often comparable to the mean free path of the gas. At higher Weber and Reynolds numbers, on the other hand, inertial effects dominate and the density of the gas becomes important in determining whether a splash occurs. In this article, sphere impacts on a liquid body are investigated in a rarefied atmosphere using high-speed photography. It is found that the threshold entry speed for cavity formation is influenced by the density of the surrounding gas, whereas changing the mean free path of the gas has no effect. We attribute this phenomenon to the gas slowing the sealing of the thin crown sheet behind the sphere. This assertion is supported with experimental measurements of the liquid sheet thickness. In the range of parameters considered, the splash crown influences the movement of the contact line, an effect not previously observed.

description: Let $\mathfrak{o}$ be the ring of integers in a non-Archimedean local field with finite residue field, $\mathfrak{p}$ its maximal ideal, and $r\geq2$ an integer. An irreducible representation of the finite group $G_{r}=\mathrm{GL}_{N}(\mathfrak{o}/\mathfrak{p}^{r})$ is called regular if its restriction to the principal congruence kernel $K^{r-1}=1+\mathfrak{p}^{r-1}\mathrm{M}_{N}(\mathfrak{o}/\mathfrak{p}^{r})$ consists of representations whose stabilisers modulo $K^{1}$ are centralisers of regular elements in $\mathrm{M}_{N}(\mathfrak{o}/\mathfrak{p})$. The regular representations form the largest class of representations of $G_{r}$ which is currently amenable to explicit construction. Their study, motivated by constructions of supercuspidal representations, goes back to Shintani, but the general case remained open for a long time. In this paper we give an explicit construction of all the regular representations of $G_{r}$.

Soil Microbial Community Responses to Changing Environments
Creators: name: Ricketts, Michael P
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Soil microbial communities are an essential component of Earth’s ecosphere. They regulate carbon and nutrient cycling and interact closely with plants via root/rhizosphere interactions, ultimately influencing the environment on a global scale. The composition of microbial communities is determined by direct and indirect interactions with both biotic and abiotic environmental factors and can influence ecosystem processes (e.g. plant productivity, gas exchange) through taxa-specific functional capacities. Using genomic sequencing, field measurements, and soil chemical characterization, my research focuses on untangling the interactions that determine microbial community structure and exploring subsequent effects on the genetic capacity for organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and metabolic activity. My dissertation examines soil microbial dynamics from two ecosystems undergoing vegetation shifts; 1) a temperate deciduous forest impacted by an invasive pest, and 2) the moist acidic tundra of Northern Alaska. My results suggest that ecosystem-specific limiting factors to microbial growth likely contribute to determining microbial community structure and genetic functional capacity. By providing a holistic conceptual context, I hope to demonstrate the importance of understanding soil microbial relations to the environment in order to fully comprehend ecosystem scale processes.

description: Miraculously, target mass corrections for inclusive deep inelastic scattering can be calculated exactly. On the contrary, there does not exist a consistent derivation of kinematic hadron mass corrections for semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS). Recently this has become of topical interest, since there is a significant difference between the measured HERMES and COMPASS pion and kaon multiplicities, which cannot be explained as a consequence of evolution in $Q^2$, and it has been suggested that the difference can be understood if kinematic hadron mass corrections are taken into account. We explain why this argument is incorrect.

description: We present a general scheme to map correlated nonequilibrium quantum impurity problems onto an auxiliary open quantum system of small size. The infinite fermionic reservoirs of the original system are thereby replaced by a small number $N_B$ of noninteracting auxiliary bath sites whose dynamics is described by a Lindblad equation. Due to the presence of the intermediate bath sites, the overall dynamics acting on the impurity site is non-Markovian. With the help of an optimization scheme for the auxiliary Lindblad parameters, an accurate mapping is achieved, which becomes exponentially exact upon increasing $N_B$. The basic idea for this scheme was presented previously in the context of nonequilibrium dynamical mean field theory. In successive works on improved manybody solution strategies for the auxiliary Lindblad equation, such as Lanczos exact diagonalization or matrix product states, we applied the approach to study the nonequilibrium Kondo regime. In the present paper, we address in detail the mapping procedure itself, rather than the many-body solution. In particular, we investigate the effects of the geometry of the auxiliary system on the accuracy of the mapping for given $N_B$. Specifically, we present a detailed convergence study for five different geometries which, besides being of practical utility, reveals important insights into the underlying mechanisms of the mapping. For setups with onsite or nearest-neighbor Lindblad parameters we find that a representation adopting two separate bath chains is by far more accurate with respect to other choices based on a single chain or a commonly used star geometry. A significant improvement is obtained by allowing for long-ranged and complex Lindblad parameters. These results can be of great value when studying Lindblad-type approaches to correlated systems.

description: DNA methylation of CpG dinucleotides plays key roles in cellular differentiation, development, pathogenesis of diseases, cancer and aging. In this thesis, we propose computational methods to study three topics related to DNA methylation. Various machine learning models have been proposed to predict enhancer using histone modification profiles that are related to enhancer activities. However, LMRs that are highly enriched for enhances have not been explored for enhances prediction. Our framework, LMethyR-wSVM (Low Methylated Region-weighted Support Vector Machine) learns DNA sequence features derived from the WGBS DNA methylation profile to predict cell type-specific human enhancers. We have shown that our framework can predict enhancers with comparable accuracy and find unique enhancers. Moreover, new regulatory mechanisms may be revealed from the uniquely predicted enhancers from our framework. Second, we develop a publicly available R package MeDEStrand that transforms the enrichment-based DNA methylation profile (i.e. MeDIP-Seq data) to DNA absolute methylation level. Knowing the absolute DNA methylation level is important as it provides insights into biological processes as well as enables the comparison of the methylation levels between any loci genome-wide that enrichment-based signals cannot. We have shown that strand-specific processing of sequencing reads as well as using a sigmoidal CpG bias estimation improved from a previous work can significantly improve the accuracy to infer the absolute methylation levels. Our tool will facilitate the usage of the large amounts of MeDIP-Seq datasets in the public repository. Third, we develop a novel framework that uses convolutional neural networks (CNN) to integrate DNA methylation and DNA genomic sequences to study the regulatory relationship of gene expression. Previous works used correlation coefficient to unravel the association between regional DNA methylation level and gene expression. We have shown that our CNN models provide higher explained variation of gene expression. The CNN models unravel TF motifs that are validated by ChIP-Seq TF binding datasets. Further, the motifs associated with high-methylated binding sites are shown to be fully supported by the newly published MeDReaders database. In summary, the thesis works have shown the usefulness and insights into the researches related to DNA methylation provided by the computational methods.

description: In the heart of the Creighton Mine near Sudbury (Canada), the SNO+ detector is foreseen to observe almost in equal proportion electron antineutrinos produced by U and Th in the Earth and by nuclear reactors. SNO+ will be the first long baseline experiment to measure a reactor signal dominated by CANDU cores ($\sim$55\% of the total reactor signal), which generally burn natural uranium. Approximately 18\% of the total geoneutrino signal is generated by the U and Th present in the rocks of the Huronian Supergroup-Sudbury Basin: the 60\% uncertainty on the signal produced by this lithologic unit plays a crucial role on the discrimination power on the mantle signal as well as on the geoneutrino spectral shape reconstruction, which can in principle provide a direct measurement of the Th/U ratio in the Earth.

title: Personality Traits and National Dilemma: Psychological Perspectives on Attitudes Toward the Peace Process in the Middle East
Creators: name: Tibon, Shira

description: The general hypothesis that there are common dispositional personality traits that relate to individuals' attitudinal systems concerning a national dilemma was examined in a sample of 197 Israeli students. The specific research question was why do some people support the Peace Process in the Middle East while others do not. Since there is as yet relatively little published research examining personality traits as related to peace attitudes and membership in political movements, such a focus is considered to contribute to the field of personality psychology as well as to that of peace research, conflict resolution and international relationships. The basic assumption of various statements that relate mental disorders to membership in political movements is that personality traits are drawn upon, transformed and used by the movements to guide their activities, and to articulate their aims and values. Such statements form the stimulus field of the present research, examining the challenging puzzle of which configuration of personality traits, characterizes the "Pro-Peace Personality". A multi-methodological approach, integrating self-rating scales (the four factors of the General Survey, GS, and the Big Five Inventory, BFI) and the Rorschach (examined on a sub-sample of26 subjects) has been suggested for the empirical examination of personality traits. The Pro-Peace Attitudes Index, PPAI, has been developed for investigating the attitudinal system. The results point to the existence of a "Pro-Peace Personality" that tends to be non-religious, less authoritarian conformist, more agreeable and unconventional, high on integrative complexity in psychological functioning, high in awareness to drives and impulses, less intensively reacting to affective stimuli, and high in open-mindedness and creativity. A question is raised as to whether the results can be replicated on other groups of the Jewish Israeli population, on the Israeli Arab population, on the Arab countries' population and the Palestinians, as well as on other nations involved in political conflicts, such as within Northern Ireland. Generally, the research might be considered as bridging the gap between the micro and macro levels of analysis in social sciences by examining a problem in the field of international relations with concepts and tools of clinical psychology.

description: We consider the semilinear Dirichlet problem \[ Δu+kg(u)=μ_1 φ_1+\cdots +μ_n φ_n+e(x) \;\; \mbox{for $x \in Ω$}, \;\; u=0 \;\; \mbox{on $\partial Ω$}, \] where $φ_k$ is the $k$-th eigenfunction of the Laplacian on $Ω$ and $e(x) \perp φ_k$, $k=1, \ldots, n$. Write the solution in the form $u(x)= Σ_{i=1}^n ξ_i φ_i+U(x)$, with $ U \perp φ_k$, $k=1, \ldots, n$. Starting with $k=0$, when the problem is linear, we continue the solution in $k$ by keeping $ξ=(ξ_1, \ldots,ξ_n)$ fixed, but allowing for $μ=(μ_1, \ldots,μ_n)$ to vary. Studying the map $ξ\rightarrow μ$ provides us with the existence and multiplicity results for the above problem. We apply our results to problems at resonance, at both the principal and higher eigenvalues. Our approach is suitable for numerical calculations, which we implement, illustrating our results.

description: Purpose: To compare the effectiveness and subjective pain perception of Articaine infiltration local anesthesia versus Lidocaine inferior alveolar nerve block for restoration of mandibular first permanent molars. Methods: Forty participants (from 7 to 12 years of age) were equally and randomly allocated into either the Articaine or the Lidocaine group. One investigator completed all local anesthesia administrations. Subjects' reactions during anesthesia administration and throughout dental treatment were assessed by trained and calibrated examiners and recorded according to a validated Modified Behavioral Pain Scale. Physiologic evaluations of pain were collected by measuring subjects’ pulse and blood pressure throughout the procedure. Subjects' pain perception was assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Response Scale. The data was categorized and analyzed. Bivariate statistics included independent t-test and Mann Whitney-U. Results: Articaine and Lidocaine had similar clinical success and lack of post-operative complications. Subjective measurement of pain was lower for Articaine both during injection (p=0.02) and treatment (p=0.03). There was no statistical difference between groups for physiologic measurements. Median self-reported pain was twice as high for Lidocaine (4 vs 2). Conclusion: Articaine local infiltration was associated with less pain on administration and during treatment and is as effective as Lidocaine inferior alveolar nerve block for restoration of mandibular first permanent molars in pediatric patients.
