description: Noticing that there are ever more popular television shows centering around the working-class, this thesis analyses the complex representations of working-class, female characters on the popular prime-time television shows 2 Broke Girls, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, and Shameless through a mixed method, phenomenological approach focusing on a visual and textual analysis. Primarily making use of a Cultural Studies and feminist lens, I focus on deconstructing the categorical codes: body language, attire, attitude, language, interaction with others, and class comparisons that present themselves in each episode and argue that these shows’ representation follow both a dominant ideological framework and present forms of agency that illustrate how intersectional these characters are.
Applicability of the TEX86 Paleotemperature Proxy on the Peterborough Member of the Oxford Clay Formation
Creators: name: Lindquist, Charissa
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Jurassic sea surface temperature is often estimated using the stable isotope compositions of carbonate and phosphatic fossils. However, in instances when these fossils are not available, organic proxies have become increasingly employed. The TEX86 is an organic paleotemperature proxy based on the relative abundance of isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers. The TEX86 record is extensive for Cenozoic and Cretaceous sediment but become sparce in the Jurassic. Here, the TEX86 is applied for the first time to the mid-Jurassic on seven Callovian black shale samples from the Peterborough Member of the Oxford Clay Formation in central England. Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers were detectable in every sample, however, all samples but one, a Gryphaea Shell Bed biofacies, were observed to provide TEX86 data compromised by non-thermal processes. The calculated sea surface temperature was observed to agree with previous paleotemperature reconstruction research on the Oxford Clay Formation using oxygen isotopes. This data suggests that the TEX86 is applicable to the Oxford Clay Formation if oxygenated samples are used.
The Philosophical Anthropology of Liberal Cosmopolitanism

description: This thesis fills a gap in the political philosophy of liberalism by elaborating the conceptions of the human subject implicit in a central ideal of liberalism. The essence of that ideal is that fortuitous facts about an individual – one’s race, gender, religion, nationality, sexual orientation – ought not to determine one’s life chances. This ideal, I maintain, presupposes a philosophical anthropology. Tacit but essential in this presupposition is that contingency and vulnerability are ineliminable features of the human condition. One of the central aspirations of liberalism is to construct a world in which fortuitous facts about an individual do not determine the individual’s prospects of having a flourishing and dignified life. This thesis argues that a close scrutiny of leading theories of liberal justice reveals that the indisputable fact of human vulnerability is regularly depicted as peripheral. I contend that the marginal depiction of vulnerability in liberalism constitutes a basic problem in the philosophical anthropology implicit in liberalism. I demonstrate this claim by analysing three broad models of philosophical anthropology that can be uncovered in liberal theories and that are the subjects of this study: the Economic Model, as exemplified in Rawls among others, the Sociological Model, exemplified in Will Kymlicka and theorists focusing on cultural concerns, and the Integrationist Model, occurring in at least two somewhat contrasting versions, one by Martha Nussbaum and one by Kwame Anthony Appiah. I argue that the Economic and Sociological Models are in some ways inconsistent with the motifs of contingency and human vulnerability. Unlike the two other models, the Integrationist Model, I argue, is compatible with the motifs of the ideal of liberalism insofar as this Model portrays human beings as vulnerable subjects, as a consequence of universal features of humanity but also of specific features associated with a legitimate degree of local rootedness and partiality. The thesis thus argues by way of the Integrationist Model that liberal cosmopolitanism furnishes liberalism with a matching philosophical anthropology. The overall aim of the thesis is to counter the tendency in an array of liberal theorists to ignore or deny the need for an underlying philosophical anthropology and ultimately to elaborate the essentials of the requisite conception.

description: The Stripe 82 Massive Galaxy Catalog (S82-MGC) is the largest-volume stellar mass-limited sample of galaxies beyond z~1 constructed to date. Spanning 139.4 deg2, the S82-MGC includes a mass-limited sample of 41,770 galaxies with log Mstar > 11.2 to z~0.7, sampling a volume of 0.3 Gpc3, roughly equivalent to the volume of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-I/II (SDSS-I/II) z < 0.15 MAIN sample. The catalog is built on three pillars of survey data: the SDSS Stripe 82 Coadd photometry which reaches r-band magnitudes of 23.5 AB, YJHK photometry at depths of 20th magnitude (AB) from the UK Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area Survey, and over 70,000 spectroscopic galaxy redshifts from SDSS-I/II and the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). We describe the catalog construction and verification, the production of 9-band matched aperture photometry, tests of existing and newly estimated photometric redshifts required to supplement spectroscopic redshifts for 55% of the log Mstar > 11.2 sample, and geometric masking. We provide near-IR based stellar mass estimates and compare these to previous estimates. All catalog products are made publicly available. The S82-MGC not only addresses previous statistical limitations in high-mass galaxy evolution studies but begins tackling inherent data challenges in the coming era of wide-field imaging surveys.

description: Okinawan is classified as one of the Northern Ryukyuan languages in the Japonic language family. It is primarily spoken in the south and central parts of the Okinawa Island of the Ryukyu Archipelago. It was the official lingua franca of the Ryukyu Kingdom and a literary vehicle, e.g., the Omoro Soshi poetry collection, but currently an endangered language. Okinawan has been recorded in various written forms: A combination of Kanji logograms and Hiragana syllabary with archaic spellings (e.g., Omoro Soshi) or modern spelling variations to approximate actual pronunciation, pure Katakana syllabary (e.g., Bettelheim’s Bible translation), Latin alphabet (mostly by linguists), and pure Hiragana (popular). The Okinawago Jiten (Okinawan Dictionary; OD), published by the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (NINJAL) in 1963 and revised in 2001[1], uses the Latin alphabet for each lexical entry. We first added the possible writing forms listed above to the data in CSV format. We then converted the CSV into TEI XML using Python. Figure 1 presents a sample encoding of the TEI file for each entry. Here, we solved the multiple writing forms with  tags with corresponding writing systems in @xml:lang attribute following BCP 47[2] (e.g., xml:lang=”ryu-Hira'' for Okinawan words written in Hiragana). We added the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and the accent type to make the pronunciation clearer with the  tags. Using XSLT, we transformed this TEI file into a static webpage with a user-friendly GUI, as shown in Figure 2. It is anticipated that this digitization of OD and its publication under the open license will benefit key stakeholders, such as Okinawan heritage learners and worldwide Okinawan learners, being the largest Okinawan dictionary available online.

description: The existence of a vertical age gradient in the Milky Way disc has been indirectly known for long. Here, we measure it directly for the first time with seismic ages, using red giants observed by Kepler. We use Stroemgren photometry to gauge the selection function of asteroseismic targets, and derive colour and magnitude limits where giants with measured oscillations are representative of the underlying population in the field. Limits in the 2MASS system are also derived. We lay out a method to assess and correct for target selection effects independent of Galaxy models. We find that low mass, i.e. old red giants dominate at increasing Galactic heights, whereas closer to the Galactic plane they exhibit a wide range of ages and metallicities. Parametrizing this as a vertical gradient returns approximately 4 Gyr/kpc for the disc we probe, although with a large dispersion of ages at all heights. The ages of stars show a smooth distribution over the last 10 Gyr, consistent with a mostly quiescent evolution for the Milky Way disc since a redshift of about 2. We also find a flat age-metallicity relation for disc stars. Finally, we show how to use secondary clump stars to estimate the present-day intrinsic metallicity spread, and suggest using their number count as a new proxy for tracing the ageing of the disc. This work highlights the power of asteroseismology for Galactic studies; however, we also emphasize the need for better constraints on stellar mass-loss, which is a major source of systematic age uncertainties in red giant stars.

description: BACKGROUND. Pelvic floor dysfunction is a term used to describe a variety of symptoms, signs and conditions involving different impairments on the pelvic floor muscles. The existing literature suggests that sport has many health benefits. However, some of these lead to a higher risk of developing pelvic floor dysfunction. No study and review have been conducted to map the entire phenomena in the sport population. The objective of this scoping review is to summarize the literature to identify the available evidence of pelvic floor dysfunction among male and female athletes. INCLUSION CRITERIA. Any female and male athletes of any age with pelvic floor dysfunction. Any sports, performance level and dysfunctions will be included. Any context will be considered for inclusion. METHODS. This scoping review will be performed in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. MEDLINE, Cochrane Central, Scopus, CINHAL, Embase and PEDro database will be searched from inception to March 2020. Additional records will be identified through searching in grey literature and the reference lists of all relevant studies. No study design, publication type, data and language restrictions will be applied. Two reviewers will independently screen all abstracts and full-text studies for inclusion. A data collection form will be developed by the research team to extract the characteristics of the studies included. A tabular and accompanying narrative summary of the information will be provided. CONCLUSIONS. This will be the first scoping review to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic. The results will add meaningful information for clinicians especially during the patient’s assessment. Furthermore, any knowledge gaps of the topic will be identified. The results of this research will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and will be presented at relevant (inter)national scientific events.

description: Fourty five polyphenols were identified in the hydroethanol extract of Achillea ligustica All. by LC-HRMS/MS with caffeoyl-6-oleside (5.74%), eucommin A (4.03%), quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucoside (3.13%) and cirsimaritin (2.95%) as the major compounds. A good antioxidant potential was shown in DPPH, ABTS and phenanthroline tests and the highest antioxidant activity (A0.5:36.23 ± 3.07 μg/mL), which was close to the standard α-tocopherol, was shown in Reducing power. The extract inhibited the growth of all tested microorganisms with MICs ranging between 10 and 190 μg/mL. In the acute toxicity test, no death was observed at doses of 100, 750 and 1500 mg/Kg with DL50 higher than 2000 mg/Kg. In analgesic in vivo assay, the extract showed a very important capacity to reduce pain, whether central or peripheral, with a certain dose-dependent relationship. For the three tests (tail flick, hot plate and acetic acid assay), the effective dose was 750 mg/kg.
Adiabatic and Hamiltonian computing on a 2D lattice with simple 2-qubit interactions

description: We show how to perform universal Hamiltonian and adiabatic computing using a time-independent Hamiltonian on a 2D grid describing a system of hopping particles which string together and interact to perform the computation. In this construction, the movement of one particle is controlled by the presence or absence of other particles, an effective quantum field effect transistor that allows the construction of controlled-NOT and controlled-rotation gates. The construction translates into a model for universal quantum computation with time-independent 2-qubit ZZ and XX+YY interactions on an (almost) planar grid. The effective Hamiltonian is arrived at by a single use of first-order perturbation theory avoiding the use of perturbation gadgets. The dynamics and spectral properties of the effective Hamiltonian can be fully determined as it corresponds to a particular realization of a mapping between a quantum circuit and a Hamiltonian called the space-time circuit-to-Hamiltonian construction. Because of the simple interactions required, and because no higher-order perturbation gadgets are employed, our construction is potentially realizable using superconducting or other solid-state qubits.

description: Multipolar electromagnetic phenomena in sub-wavelength resonators are at the heart of metamaterial science and technology. In this letter, we demonstrate selective and enhanced coupling to specific multipole resonances via beam engineering. We first derive an analytical method for determining the scattering and absorption of spherical nanoparticles (NPs) that depends only on the local electromagnetic field quantities within an inhomogeneous beam. Using this analytical technique, we demonstrate the ability to drastically manipulate the scattering properties of a spherical NP by varying illumination properties and demonstrate the excitation of a longitudinal quadrupole mode that cannot be accessed with conventional illumination. This work enhances the understanding of fundamental light-matter interactions in metamaterials, and lays the foundation for researchers to identify, quantify, and manipulate multipolar light-matter interactions through optical beam engineering.
Numerical simulations of sunspot decay: On the penumbra -- Evershed flow -- moat flow connection
Creators: name: Rempel, M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a series of high-resolution sunspot simulations that cover a time span of up to 100 hours. The simulation domain extends about 18 Mm in depth beneath the photosphere and 98 Mm horizontally. We use open boundary conditions that do not maintain the initial field structure against decay driven by convective motions. We consider two setups: A sunspot simulation with penumbra, and a "naked-spot" simulation in which we removed the penumbra after 20 hours through a change in the magnetic top boundary condition. While the sunspot has an Evershed outflow of 3-4 km/s, the naked spot is surrounded by an inflow of 1-2 km/s in close proximity. However, both spots are surrounded by an outflow on larger scales with a few 100 m/s flow speed in the photosphere. While the sunspot has almost constant magnetic flux content for the simulated time span of 3-4 days, the naked spot decays steadily at a rate of $10^{21}$ Mx/day. A region with reduced downflow filling factor, which is more extended for the sunspot, surrounds both spots. The absence of downflows perturbs the upflow/downflow massflux balance and leads to a large-scale radially overturning flow system, the photospheric component of this flow is to the observable moat flow. The reduction of the downflow filling factor also inhibits submergence of magnetic field in the proximity of the spots, which stabilizes them against decay. While this effect is present for both spots, it is more pronounced for the sunspot and explains the almost stationary magnetic flux content.

description: Surface rotation rates of young solar-type stars display drastic changes at the end of the pre-main sequence through the early main sequence. This may trigger corresponding changes in the magnetic dynamos operating in these stars, which ought to be observable in their surface magnetic fields. We present here the first results of an observational effort aimed at characterizing the evolution of stellar magnetic fields through this critical phase. We observed stars from open clusters and associations, which range from 20 to 600 Myr, and used Zeeman Doppler Imaging to characterize their complex magnetic fields. We find a clear trend towards weaker magnetic fields for older ages, as well as a tight correlation between magnetic field strength and Rossby number over this age range. Comparing to results for younger T Tauri stars, we observe a very significant change in magnetic strength and geometry, as the radiative core develops during the late pre-main sequence.

description: A predictive tracking approach and a novel method for visual motion compensation are introduced, which accurately reconstruct and compensate the deformation of the elastic object, even in the case of complete measurement information loss. The core of the methods involves a probabilistic physical model of the object, from which all other mathematical models are systematically derived. Due to flexible adaptation of the models, the balance between their complexity and their accuracy is achieved.

description: Following the financial crisis of 2007-2008, a deep analogy between the origins of instability in financial systems and complex ecosystems has been pointed out: in both cases, topological features of network structures influence how easily distress can spread within the system. However, in financial network models, the details of how financial institutions interact typically play a decisive role, and a general understanding of precisely how network topology creates instability remains lacking. Here we show how processes that are widely believed to stabilise the financial system, i.e. market integration and diversification, can actually drive it towards instability, as they contribute to create cyclical structures which tend to amplify financial distress, thereby undermining systemic stability and making large crises more likely. This result holds irrespective of the details of how institutions interact, showing that policy-relevant analysis of the factors affecting financial stability can be carried out while abstracting away from such details.

description: We consider one-dimensional bosonic chains with a repulsive boson-boson interaction that decays exponentially on large length-scales. This model describes transport of Cooper-pairs in a Josepshon junction array, or transport of magnetic flux quanta in quantum-phase-slip ladders, i.e. arrays of superconducting wires in a ladder-configuration that allow for the coherent tunnelling of flux quanta. In the low-frequency, long wave-length regime these chains can be mapped to an effective model of a one-dimensional elastic field in a disordered potential. The onset of transport in these systems, when biased by external voltage, is described by the standard depinning theory of elastic media in disordered pinning potentials. We numerically study the regimes that are of relevance for quantum-phase-slip ladders. These are (i) very short chains and (ii) the regime of weak disorder. For chains shorter than the typical pinning length, i.e., the Larkin length, the chains reach a saturation regime where the depinning voltage does not depend on the decay length of the repulsive interaction. In the regime of weak disorder we find an emergent correlation length-scale that depends on the disorder strength. For arrays shorter than this length the onset of transport is similar to the clean arrays, i.e., is due to the penetration of solitons into the array. We discuss the depinning scenarios for longer arrays in this regime.

description: The static estimation of the energy consumed by program executions is an important challenge, which has applications in program optimization and verification, and is instrumental in energy-aware software development. Our objective is to estimate such energy consumption in the form of functions on the input data sizes of programs. We have developed a tool for experimentation with static analysis which infers such energy functions at two levels, the instruction set architecture (ISA) and the intermediate code (LLVM IR) levels, and reflects it upwards to the higher source code level. This required the development of a translation from LLVM IR to an intermediate representation and its integration with existing components, a translation from ISA to the same representation, a resource analyzer, an ISA-level energy model, and a mapping from this model to LLVM IR. The approach has been applied to programs written in the XC language running on XCore architectures, but is general enough to be applied to other languages. Experimental results show that our LLVM IR level analysis is reasonably accurate (less than 6.4% average error vs. hardware measurements) and more powerful than analysis at the ISA level. This paper provides insights into the trade-off of precision versus analyzability at these levels.

Romantic Anxieties: Rewriting of History and Personal Turmoil in Félix Varela’s Jicoténcal (1826)
Creators: name: Goldsmith, Kelly
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Jicoténcal is a fictional rewriting of the Spanish conquest from the indigenous point of view. Rather than ascribing to a Manichean characterization of the Spaniards and Tlascaltecas as wholly good or bad, an attitude of ambivalence is directed at both the natives and the European invaders. The characters in the work are met with anxiety as they try to negotiate their identities during a time of political uncertainty. Jicoténcal not only honestly struggles with the conceptions of nation building in the midst of colonial rule and the union of two disparate cultures, but it also reveals the personal and cultural anxieties present at the time of its composition.

description: We consider a finitely generated virtually abelian group $G$ acting properly and without inversions on a CAT(0) cube complex $X$. We prove that $G$ stabilizes a finite dimensional CAT(0) subcomplex $Y \subseteq X$ that is isometrically embedded in the combinatorial metric. Moreover, we show that $Y$ is a product of finitely many quasilines. The result represents a higher dimensional generalization of Haglund's axis theorem.

description: The computation of the single-differential top quark-antiquark pair ($\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$) production cross section at NLO in the fixed-order expansion is examined consistently using the MSR and $\overline{\textrm{MS}}$ short-distance top quark mass schemes. A thorough investigation of the dependence of the $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ invariant mass spectrum on the renormalization scales $R$ and $\mu_m$ of the MSR mass $m_\mathrm{t}^{\textrm{MSR}}(R)$ and $\overline{\textrm{MS}}$ mass $\overline{m}_\mathrm{t}(\mu_m)$, respectively, is carried out. We demonstrate that a scale choice of $R\sim 80$~GeV is important for the stability of the cross-section predictions for the low $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ invariant mass range, which is important for a reliable extraction of the top quark mass. Furthermore, a choice of semi-dynamical renormalization and factorization scales is preferred. These findings are expected to remain valid once non-relativistic quasi-bound state effects are included in the low invariant mass region.

description: The energy spectral efficiency maximization (ESEM) problem of a multi-user, multi-relay, multi-cell system is considered, where all the network nodes are equipped with multi-antenna transceivers. To deal with the potentially excessive interference originating from a plethora of geographically distributed transmission sources, a pair of transmission protocols based on interference alignment (IA) are conceived. The first, termed the full-IA, avoids all intra-cell interference (ICI) and other-cell interference by finding the perfect interference-nulling receive beamforming matrices (RxBFMs). The second protocol, termed partial-IA, only attempts to null the ICI. Employing the RxBFMs computed by either of these protocols mathematically decomposes the channel into a multiplicity of non-interfering multiple-input--single-output channels, which we term as spatial multiplexing components (SMCs). The problem of finding the optimal SMCs as well as their power control variables for the ESEM problem considered is formally defined and converted into a convex optimization form with carefully selected variable relaxations and transformations. Thus, the optimal SMCs and power control variables can be distributively computed using both the classic dual decomposition and subgradient methods. Our results indicate that indeed, the ESEM algorithm performs better than the baseline equal power allocation algorithm in terms of its ESE. Furthermore, surprisingly the partial-IA outperforms the full-IA in all cases considered, which is because the partial-IA is less restrictive in terms of the number of available transmit dimensions at the transmitters. Given the typical cell sizes considered in this paper, the path-loss sufficiently attenuates the majority of the interference, and thus the full-IA over-compensates, when trying to avoid all possible sources of interference.
