description: We present the first example of an interacting Carroll supersymmetric field theory with both temporal and spatial derivatives, belonging to the Galileon class, where the non-linear field equation remains second-order in derivative. To achieve this, we introduce two novel tools. First, we demonstrate that the two-dimensional Galilei/Carroll duality can be extended to higher dimensions, and includes the supersymmetry, by expressing the generators in a spinor basis. We then show that Carroll superalgebras are naturally connected to Euclidean, rather than Poincaré, superalgebras. Using the real multiplet of the three-dimensional N $=1$ Euclidean supersymmetry, we construct the scalar multiplet for N $=2$ Carroll supersymmetry and develop a tensor calculus to realize the aforementioned model. These results offer new insights into the structure of genuine higher-dimensional Carroll field theories and Carroll supersymmetry. While these tools are utilized to build a specific model, we anticipate that they possess broader applications in Carrollian physics.

description: If E is an exterior algebra on a finite dimensional vector space and M is a graded E-module, the relationship between the resonance varieties of M and the minimal free resolution of M is studied. In the context of Orlik–Solomon algebras, we give a condition under which elements of the second resonance variety can be obtained. We show that the resonance varieties of a general M are invariant under taking syzygy modules up to a shift. As corollary, it is shown that certain points in the resonance varieties of M can be determined from minimal syzygies of a special form, and we define syzygetic resonance varieties to be the subvarieties consisting of such points. The (depth one) syzygetic resonance varieties of a square-free module M over E are shown to be subspace arrangements whose components correspond to graded shifts in the minimal free resolution of SM, the square-free module over a commutative polynomial ring S corresponding to M. Using this, a lower bound for the graded Betti numbers of the square-free module M is given. As another application, it is shown that the minimality of certain syzygies of Orlik–Solomon algebras yield linear subspaces of their (syzygetic) resonance varieties and lower bounds for their graded Betti numbers.

Art-directable cloud animation
Creators: name: Wang, Yiyun
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Computer graphics

description: Volumetric cloud generation and rendering algorithms are well-developed to meet the need for a realistic sky performance in animation or games. However, it is challenging to create a stylized or designed animation for volumetric clouds using physics-based generation and simulation methods in real-time.The problem raised by the research is the current volumetric cloud animation controlling methods are not art-directable. Making a piece of volumetric cloud move in a specific way can be difficult when using only a physics-based simulation method. The purpose of the study is to implement an animating method for volumetric clouds and with art-directable controllers. Using this method, a designer can easily control the cloud's motion in a reliable way. The program will achieve interactive performance using parallel processing with CUDA. Users will be able to animate the cloud by input a few vectors inside the cloud volume. After reviewing the literature related to the real-time simulation method of clouds, texture advection algorithms, fluid simulation, and other processes to achieve the results, the thesis offers a feasible design of the algorithm and experiments to test the hypotheses. The study uses noise textures and fractional Brownian motion (fBm) to generate volumetric clouds and render the clouds by the ray marching technique. The program will render user input vectors and a three-dimension interpolation vector field with OpenGL. By adding or changing input vectors, the user will gain a divergence minimization interpolation field. The cloud volume could be animated by the texture advection technique based on the interpolation vector field in real-time. By inputting several vectors, the user could plausibly animate the volume cloud in an art-directable way.

Exploring Conceptualizations of "Eating Disorders" in Self-Help Texts
Creators: name: Ghobrial, Nour Adele
Publisher: name: University of Illinois Chicago
Year: 2025

description: Since the mid-1990s, self-help interventions for the treatment of distressed eating have soared in popularity. Eating disorder (ED) self-help books specifically aim to educate readers and provide practical tips for managing these conditions. As this body of work has expanded, these texts have chronicled the development of mainstream perceptions of distressed eating over the past thirty years. Through textual analysis, this thesis studies three ED self-help books: Overcoming Binge Eating (1995) by Christopher Fairburn; Goodbye Ed, Hello Me: Recovery from Your Eating Disorder and Fall in Love with Life (2009) by Jenni Schaefer; and Body Positive Power: How to Stop Dieting, Make Peace with Your Body and Live (2017) by Megan Jayne Crabbe. As I analyze these works through a feminist-of-color disability studies lens, I investigate how they conceptualize distressed eating and appropriate responses to it. This analysis pays particular attention to the ways in which these understandings do (or do not) make space for those with distressed eating who do not align with the Western, white, thin, cisgender woman, able-bodied and/or -minded norm. Seeking radical alternatives, I conclude by exploring the transformative potential of healing justice as a movement and framework grounded in collective care.

Subjects: subject: Nova Magazine Magazine Design Art Direction Fashion Photography Fashion Editorial Sixties Seventies British Graphic Design Women’s History Design History

description: This thesis provides an original case history of Nova magazine from 1965-1975, and analyses the magazine’s construction, content and consumption through material culture. Nova made a distinct offering to the world of women’s magazines in the Sixties and Seventies and can be defined by its unique synthesis of editorial breadth and visual innovation.

The study considers the correlation between a magazine’s intended, implied and realised meanings. In my analysis of Nova, intended meanings are revealed through an examination of the production process; implied meaning is found within the magazine as an object and text; and Nova’s realised meanings are those articulated through oral history by its readers.

Interviews with staff cover the four key areas of Nova’s production; Caroline Baker, Fashion Editor 1967-1975; Gillian Cooke, Editor 1970-1975; David Hillman, Art Director 1969-1975; Maggy Meade-King, Features Writer, 1970-1975. Analysis of these interviews and the design and content of Nova reveals the motivation and ambitions of individual production staff, and evaluates the crucial collaborative practice, creative conflicts and networks of production at the heart of Nova’s making. To better understand magazines, their histories and their futures, it is time that these individuals, working practices and creative networks are both acknowledged and critically evaluated.

Recognising the nature and importance of the magazine as composite I adopt a holistic approach as a methodological model for Nova’s analysis. In this thesis I examine the magazine as a whole entity; I analyse its design and contents, alongside a narrative of the processes of its production from its staff and contributors, and consider the use and value of the magazine by its contemporary readers. The agenda for this work, is to plot the processes of production and consumption of Nova in order to reveal the various elements and practices that construct the identity and history of the magazine as a visual, textual and material object.
title: A Stitch in Time: Searching for Authenticity through Shifting Regimes of Value in Romania
Creators: name: Urdea, Alexandra
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: museums, authenticity, cultural production, folklore, memory

description: This thesis deals with the role that material culture plays in the production of value and meaning through discourses of authenticity. It also follows how folk objects are mobilized in national ideologies, transmissions of personal and family memory, museological discourses and artistic acts. My research is centred around a collection of Romanian artefacts which travelled from Romania to the Horniman Museum in London in 1956. The project that I undertook was devised as a collaborative research project between Goldsmiths College and the Horniman Museum, in which two PhD researchers carried out a recontextualization of this collection. The objects had been collected from villages and other sources in the 1950s (a context of political and social change in Romania), then assembled into a collection and sent over to the Horniman Museum. My side of the project sought to bring out historical trajectories and the social life of material culture in the villages where the Horniman objects originated, and beyond. The objects on which my research focused, which I considered to be the counterparts of the ones stored at the Horniman, revealed a complex usage of the folk idiom and of material culture in Romania, expressed through debates around value, authenticity and history.

My thesis is firstly concerned with the movement of things between different regimes of value, mapping out a network of spaces of cultural production where the folk idiom is relevant in Romania. The people I involved in my research continuously pointed out that the truly valuable thing I was seeking – the ‘authentic’ object – was to be found elsewhere. This promise of an ‘elsewhere’ has kept pushing my research further along: from one village to another; from village houses to the houses of culture, and then to museums; and from live folk performances to national television. The other concern of this thesis is with the places and moments where the circulation of objects is halted because their value is put into question. In the process, I reveal how people deal with the absence of what they define as ‘authentic’ objects. They either identify this absence as loss, and sometimes explain it through historical narratives and memories; at other times they alleviate it through performance. These different strategies entail different relationships with material culture, which I conceptualize as relationships between subject and object.

description: There are increasing calls for the application of systems ergonomics methods in healthcare, although evidence for their utility and uptake is limited. In this study, 67 Australian healthcare workers participated in a six-month longitudinal study where they were trained to apply the AcciMap adverse event analysis and Net-HARMS risk assessment methods. Data were gathered in line with the RE-AIM (Reach, Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) evaluation framework, including rates of organisational uptake and method validity, perceived workload, usability, and barriers and facilitators to use in practice. Overall RE-AIM ratings for AcciMap were relatively high, and more moderate for Net-HARMS. Time constraints was the most frequently identified barrier to the use of both methods in practice, while there was more organisational resistance to Net-HARMS uptake. Facilitators for the use of both methods include providing quality training and mentorship, additional time and software resources, and dedicated job roles. The implementation of systems ergonomics methods in healthcare is poorly understood. This study evaluated the longitudinal application of accident analysis (AcciMap) and risk assessment (Net-HARMS) methods by 67 healthcare workers. AcciMap was highly rated, while further training, additional time, and dedicated job roles may further support method use in healthcare.

description: One-handed operation of touchscreen smartphones presents challenges such as hard-to-reach targets and the thumb occluding the interface. There are two main approaches to address these challenges: Modification of the graphical user interface (GUI) and extension of the device's input modalities using its sensors. Previous work has presented techniques addressing a specific problem in isolation, but has failed to provide one solution which tackles all main challenges of thumb interaction together. This thesis examines whether this can be done.

To establish the background, the thesis finds that users prefer convenience over efficiency and confirms that they predominantly use one hand. To detect mode of operation, the thesis presents an approach to classify a user's finger with a high degree of accuracy using a single touch. Following the first research avenue, the thesis presents a thumb-optimised GUI that increases usability and efficiency of one-handed website operation. Following the second avenue of research, the thesis presents a novel one-handed input technique for smartphones, using a set of three off-screen gestures. Both approaches address the most common problems of one-handed smartphone operation via the thumb largely successfully, but fail to completely solve the problem of interface occlusion.

The thesis adds to the literature in the field of visual perception, input classification, GUI optimisation, and input techniques. Readers learn that visual search strategies of the desktop world may also apply to the mobile world and that eye gaze position may have a greater impact on target acquisition time than Fitts's law. The one-touch finger classification technique provides an additional layer of context and new opportunities for improving the human-machine dialogue. The thumb-optimised GUI presents practitioners with a potential blueprint for translating classical WIMP UI elements into thumb-friendly touch interfaces while the novel input technique provides a new layer of complexity for off-screen interaction.
Do You Even Lift? An Experimental Study of #Fitspiration Messages and Their Effects on Correlates of Exercise Behavior per Social Cognitive Theory
Creators: name: Kamal, Daniel Bin Mustafa
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Communication studies

description: Fitspiration (also known as fitspo) is a popular online trend particularly on Instagram and is often credited for the rapid growth of contemporary fitness culture and the fitness industry in general. This dissertation evaluates the central thesis that fitspiration messages may have utility in health promotion by influencing muscle-strengthening exercise behavior among viewers and that this influence can be explained, in part, through the application of social cognitive theory’s (SCT) framework for health behaviors. These potential effects were examined among a population of emerging adults (i.e., 18 – 25 years of age) in the context of (1) encouraging the adoption of muscle-strengthening exercise behavior among individuals who have never performed such exercises before and (2) increasing and/or sustaining adherence among those who have but may not be doing so regularly.Using a 2 x 2 between-subjects experiment involving 315 undergraduate students at Purdue University, this study was guided by two research aims. Research Aim 1 was to further understand the mechanisms through which fitspiration messages could influence exercise behavior by examining the structural paths of influence between core constructs within the SCT framework. Research Aim 2 sought to examine the effects of specific fitspiration message features on the SCT determinants of exercise behavior.This study extends SCT in several ways. First, this study provides support for conceptualizing self-efficacy as a multidimensional construct and that different types of self-efficacy influence exercise behavior differently. Second, the findings in this study assessed the mediational pathways within the SCT framework when conceptualizing self-efficacy and outcome expectations multidimensionally.Although the manipulations in this study did not produce significant findings in terms of the effects of fitspiration message features, the findings do suggest that these effects occur in subtle ways that warrant further examination in future studies.

description: The evaluation of scientific research is based on data protected by secrecy and intellectual property (e.g., Elsevier Scopus or Clarivate Web of Science). The peer review process is essentially anonymous. While science has progressed thanks to public dialogue, the current evaluation system is centered on private information control. This represents a fundamental shift from democratic to authoritarian science. Open Science may contrast this change only if it is accepted as the heir, in the digital age, of the values and principles that public and democratic science has traditionally fostered in the age of printing, thus becoming the guardian of a democratic society.

description: Most foodborne illnesses result from inappropriate food handling practices. One proven practice to reduce pathogens is to perform effective hand-hygiene before all stages of food handling. In food handling, there exist steps to achieve good manufacturing practices (GMPs). Traditionally, the assessment of food handling quality would require hiring a food expert for audit, which is expensive in cost. Recently, recognizing activities in videos becomes a rapidly growing field with wide-ranging applications. In this presentation, we propose to approach the assessment of hand-hygiene quality, which is a crucial step in food handling, with video analytic methods: action recognition and action detection algorithms. Our approaches focus on hand-hygiene activities with different requirements include camera views and scenario variations. For hand-hygiene with egocentric video data, we create a two-stage system to localize and recognize all the hand-hygiene actions in each untrimmed video. This involves applying a low-cost hand mask and motion histogram features to localize the temporal regions of hand-hygiene actions. For hand-hygiene with multi-camera view video data, we design a system processes untrimmed video from both egocentric and third-person cameras, and each hand-hygiene action is recognized with its “expert” camera view. For hand-hygiene across different scenarios, we propose a multi-modality framework to recognize hand-hygiene actions in untrimmed video sequences. We use modalities such as RGB, optical flow, hand segmentation mask, and human skeleton joint modalities to construct individual CNN and apply a hierarchical method to recognize hand-hygiene action

Applying Abundant Natural Proteins to Stabilize Lithium Anode for High-Performance Lithium-Metal Batteries

description: Li-metal batteries (LMBs) with ultrahigh theoretical energy densities make them promising for advanced rechargeable batteries. Despite the potential high performance, the highly reactive Li metal anode suffers from critical issues related to the dendrite growth, which shorten the cycle life and cause safety hazards of LMBs. To address these issues, modifying the surface of Li metal with functional materials is considered as an effective solution. Natural proteins are abundant polymers composed of numerous amino acids with abundant polar/nonpolar and charged/uncharged functional groups, providing diverse interactions with ions/molecules. Appropriately denatured proteins may form proper interactions with battery components (electrolyte, separator and Li plate), which enable desirable Li/electrolyte interface and guide the deposition of Li+ in LMBs for eliminating dendrite growth. This motivates us to apply protein to advance performance of LMBs in this project.
description: This dissertation includes three parts. The first part describes the development of Li-based batteries, challenges of LMBs and proposed solutions. The second part provides the studies of protein utilization on stabilizing Li anode for high-performance LMBs, which are included in Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5. In Chapter 2, a zein-enabled protective film with simultaneous enhancement in flexibility, modulus and adhesion strength is fabricated. The protective film is able to accommodate the volume change, reduce the side reactions, and homogenize the ion deposition of Li anode. In Chapter 3, a protein coating is created to stabilize Li anode, regulate Li+ transport, and resolve the Li dendrite growth for LMBs. The protein coating increases the wettability with electrolyte, reduces the Li/electrolyte side reactions, and significantly suppresses the Li dendrite formation. In Chapter 4, zein is exploited as an electrolyte additive to stabilize Li anode. The denatured zein is involved in the formation of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), guiding Li+ deposition and repairing the cracked SEI. In Chapter 5, the formation and evolution of the protein-modified SEIs on Li anodes are investigated. The stand-still processes of LMBs greatly impact the formation/evolution of SEI and the resulting battery performance. In the third part (Chapter 6), the critical conclusions drawn from the studies are summarized and the outlook is proposed.

description: The current paper aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Icelandic translation of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, for both parent and teacher reports. SDQ is a widely used questionnaire for screening mental problems among youth. However, only a few studies have conducted a factor analysis on the youngest and oldest cohorts using an adequate sample size. This study aims not only to examine the traditional 5-factor model and alternative models suggested in prior research but also to establish norm data for the Icelandic population. The total sample consists of 1653 youth aged 5–16 years, thereof 316 parent reports and 271 teacher reports for the 5-year-old sample. We used confirmatory factor analysis to evaluate the factor structure. Special attention was given to the models’ performance across different age groups and between genders. This cross-demographic evaluation is vital to ensure that the SDQ’s utility is not limited by developmental or gender-specific variations in symptom expression or reporting. We found an acceptable fit for both the original five-factor model and the more recent three-factor model with higher-order internalizing and externalizing factors. The fit for the factor structures seemed to be quite similar across ages. However, we observed goodness-of-fit below the acceptable range for girls on the parent ratings. We also found evidence for the convergent and divergent validity of both models. The current study provides further evidence of the utility of the SDQ as a screening instrument, with an acceptable factor structure across ages.

description: Pervasive cameras are generating videos at an unprecedented pace, making videos the new frontier of big data. As the processors, e.g., CPU/GPU, become increasingly powerful, the cloud and edge nodes can generate useful insights from colossal video data. However, as the research in computer vision (CV) develops vigorously, the system area has been a blind spot in CV research. With colossal video data generated from cameras every day and limited compute resource budgets, how to design software systems to generate insights from video data efficiently?
Designing cost-efficient video analytics software systems is challenged by the expensive computation of vision operators, the colossal data volume, and the precious wireless bandwidth of surveillance cameras. To address above challenges, three software systems are proposed in this thesis. For the first system, we present VStore, a data store that supports fast, resource-efficient analytics over large archival videos. VStore manages video ingestion, storage, retrieval, and consumption and controls video formats through backward derivation of configuration: in the opposite direction along the video data path, VStore passes the video quantity and quality expected by analytics backward to retrieval, to storage, and to ingestion. VStore derives an optimal set of video formats, optimizes for different resources in a progressive manner, and runs queries as fast as 362x of video realtime. For the second system, we present a camera/cloud runtime called DIVA that supports querying cold videos distributed on low-cost wireless cameras. DIVA is built upon a novel zero-streaming paradigm: to save wireless bandwidth, when capturing video frames, a camera builds sparse yet accurate landmark frames without uploading any video data; when executing a query, a camera processes frames in multiple passes with increasingly more expensive operators. On diverse queries over 15 videos, DIVA runs at more than 100x realtime and outperforms competitive alternatives remarkably. For the third system, we present Clique, a practical object re-identification (ReID) engine that builds upon two unconventional techniques. First, Clique assesses target occurrences by clustering unreliable object features extracted by ReID algorithms, with each cluster representing the general impression of a distinct object to be matched against the input. Second, to search across camera videos, Clique samples cameras to maximize the spatiotemporal coverage and incrementally adds cameras for processing on demand. Through evaluation on 25 hours of traffic videos from 25 cameras, Clique reaches a high recall at 5 of 0.87 across 70 queries and runs at 830x of video realtime in achieving high accuracy.

description: To investigate the long-term effect of Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) on alcohol treatment utilization among general hospital inpatients. This 36-month follow-up of a randomized controlled trial included general hospital inpatients who were screened using the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). Patients with an AUDIT score of 8+ were included. Patients were randomized to either SBIRT (Relay) or treatment as-usual (TAU). Outcome was attendance at a specialized outpatient treatment institution or prescription of pharmacological alcohol treatment in general practice. Using the Danish Civil Registration System, patients were followed in the Danish National Patient Registry, Danish National Alcohol Treatment Register, and the Danish National Prescription Registry. Data was collected up to 36 months after discharge. The study population consisted of 258 patients in the Relay group and 303 patients in the TAU group. In the Relay group, 36 (14.0%) patients received treatment versus 23 (7.6%) in the TAU group. Patients in the Relay group had higher odds for receiving treatment compared to the TAU group (OR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.1–3.4, p = 0.01). Significantly more patients in the Relay group scored 16+ on the AUDIT and had already tried to change their alcohol consumption (both p < 0.01). Adjusted for potential confounders, the effect of the Relay intervention was reduced (OR: 1.37, 95%CI: 0.7–2.5, p = 0.31). This study did not find evidence that SBIRT is better than TAU at sustaining significant long-term alcohol treatment utilization after discharge among inpatients from general hospital.
The implications of collisions on the spatial profile of electric potential and the space-charge limited current

description: The space-charge limited current (SCLC) in a vacuum diode is given by the Child-Langmuir law (CLL), whose electric potential $φ(x) = (\it{x/D})^{4/3}$, where x is the spatial coordinate across the gap and D is the gap separation distance. For a collisional diode, SCLC is given by the Mott-Gurney law (MGL) and $φ(x) = (x/D)^{3/2}$. This Letter applies a capacitance argument for SCLC and uses the transit time from a recent exact solution for collisional SCLC to show that $φ(x) = (x/D)^ξ$ for a general collisional gap, where $4/3 \leqslant ξ\leqslant 3/2$. Furthermore, $ξ$ is strictly a function of $νT$, where $ν$ is the collision frequency and T is the electron transit time. Using this definition of $ξ$, we estimate the spatial dependence of the electron velocity and use the capacitance to derive an analytic equation for collisional SCLC that agrees within $\sim5-6\%$ of the exact solution that requires solving parametrically through T. We derive equations in the limits of $ν\longrightarrow 0$ and $ν\longrightarrow \infty$ for general $ξ$ that asymptotically recover the CLL as $ν\longrightarrow 0$ and the MGL as $ν\longrightarrow \infty$. Matching these limits shows that $ξ\simeq 1.40$ and $V \propto D^2ν^2$ at the transition from a vacuum to collisional diode for any device condition.

description: Raman multivariate curve resolution (Raman-MCR) spectroscopy is used to study water-mediated interactions by decomposing Raman spectra of aqueous solutions into bulk water and solute-correlated (SC) spectral components. The SC spectra are minimum-area difference spectra that reveal solute-induced perturbations of water structure, including changes in water hydrogen-bonding strength, tetrahedral structure, and formation of dangling (non-hydrogen-bonded) OH defects in a solute's hydration shell. Additionally, Raman-active intramolecular vibrational modes of the solute may be used to uncover complementary information regarding solute--solute interactions. Herein, Raman-MCR is applied to address fundamental questions related to: (1) confined cavity water and its connection to host-guest binding, (2) hydrophobic hydration of fluorinated solutes, (3) specific ion effects on nonionic micelle formation, and (4) ion pairing in aqueous solutions.
