A Framework for Social Change Through Media
Creators: name: Boniske, Jill
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014

description: Keywords: new media, public sphere, social media, media activism, media consolidation, information silo, citizen journalism, transnational public sphere
description: As new and social media have become widely used for social activism, many people question whether the Internet is living up to its early promise as a more democratic media. This paper analyses three organizations’ media models to determine whether these new technologies can be used to build a new and vibrant public sphere. This research illustrates that social and new media are succeeding in adding voices and issues to the public sphere that would not traditionally have an outlet; where they are failing is in broadening discussion and bringing people to consensus around divisive issues. For new media to contribute to a healthy public sphere, the online landscape must evolve to include mechanisms for breaking out of silos in order to promote a more thoughtfully engaged citizenry’s participation.

description: The modular transformation behavior of theta series for indefinite quadratic forms is well understood in the case of elliptic modular forms due to Vignéras, who deduced that solving a differential equation of second order serves as a criterion for modularity. In this paper, we will give a generalization of this result to Siegel theta series.

description: In this paper, we study the half-supersymmetric time-dependent configurations in M-theory and their matrix models. We find a large class of 11D supergravity solutions, which keeps sixteen supersymmetries. Furthermore, we investigate the isometries of these configurations and show that in general these configurations have no supernumerary supersymmetries. And also we define the Matrix models in these backgrounds following Discrete Light-Cone Quantization (DLCQ) prescription.

description: CUPID-Mo is a cryogenic detector array designed to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0νββ$) of $^{100}$Mo. It uses 20 scintillating $^{100}$Mo-enriched Li$_2$MoO$_4$ bolometers instrumented with Ge light detectors to perform active suppression of $α$ backgrounds, drastically reducing the expected background in the $0νββ$ signal region. As a result, pileup events and small detector instabilities that mimic normal signals become non-negligible potential backgrounds. These types of events can in principle be eliminated based on their signal shapes, which are different from those of regular bolometric pulses. We show that a purely data-driven principal component analysis based approach is able to filter out these anomalous events, without the aid of detector response simulations.

description: This report summarizes the financial and production records of 9 Michigan, farrow to finish, swine farms. To be included, the farms must have produced at least 50 percent of gross cash farm income from one or a combination of fat hogs, feeder pigs and cull breeding hogs sales. The records came from Michigan State University's TelFarm project and the Farm Credit Service system in Michigan. The values were pooled into averages for reporting purposes. Farm records were included if a farm financial summary was completed on 2003 data including beginning and ending balance sheets, plus income and expenses. The data were checked to verify that cash discrepancy was less than 10% of gross cash inflow and that debt discrepancy was less than $1,000. While considerable variation in the data exists, average values are reported in the summary tables.

description: We show that, in four dimensions, the quark propagator is affected by round-off errors for large values of the quark mass am and the time extent T/a even when double precision arithmetics is used to compute it. We introduce a definition of the solver residual which is sensitive to the problem and apply a Schwarz alternating procedure to compute the propagator in a number of sub-domains in the time direction. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated in a numerical computation of the free one-dimensional Dirac propagator.

description: This paper aims to answer the research question as to optimal design of decision-making processes for autonomous vehicles (AVs), including dynamical selection of driving velocity and route choices on a transportation network. Dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) has been widely used to model travelers's route choice or/and departure-time choice and predict dynamic traffic flow evolution in the short term. However, the existing DTA models do not explicitly describe one's selection of driving velocity on a road link. Driving velocity choice may not be crucial for modeling the movement of human drivers but it is a must-have control to maneuver AVs. In this paper, we aim to develop a game-theoretic model to solve for AVs's optimal driving strategies of velocity control in the interior of a road link and route choice at a junction node. To this end, we will first reinterpret the DTA problem as an N-car differential game and show that this game can be tackled with a general mean field game-theoretic framework. The developed mean field game is challenging to solve because of the forward and backward structure for velocity control and the complementarity conditions for route choice. An efficient algorithm is developed to address these challenges. The model and the algorithm are illustrated on the Braess network and the OW network with a single destination. On the Braess network, we first compare the LWR based DTA model with the proposed game and find that the driving and routing control navigates AVs with overall lower costs. We then compare the total travel cost without and with the middle link and find that the Braess paradox may still arise under certain conditions. We also test our proposed model and solution algorithm on the OW network.

description: For future menu planning, chefs might be interested in knowing how popular a menu is. However, estimating the popularity of dishes is challenging. This is because the guest always makes his choice at the decision point (e.g., when reading the menu plan or looking at the menu display at the menu counter) based on the available alternatives. Thus, the preferred choice or the popularity is always influenced by the other available menus. Example: The single menu "Spaghetti with Bolognese sauce" is basically "popular" with the guests. However, if this menu is offered in parallel with other menus, for example together with a typical "hot seller" menu, such as "Schnitzel with fries" or a less attractive menu, such as "Vegetables with fried egg", this influences the popularity and thus the choice of Spaghetti Bolognese. The statement about how popular an individual menu is must therefore always be considered relatively - or rather in comparison to the alternatives. This calculation method made it possible for the first time to calculate the popularity of lunch menus. Based on the sales data, the model (Python module) estimates adequate popularity values for dishes from three staff restaurants and two university canteens.

description: We consider the problem of anomaly detection with a small set of partially labeled anomaly examples and a large-scale unlabeled dataset. This is a common scenario in many important applications. Existing related methods either exclusively fit the limited anomaly examples that typically do not span the entire set of anomalies, or proceed with unsupervised learning from the unlabeled data. We propose here instead a deep reinforcement learning-based approach that enables an end-to-end optimization of the detection of both labeled and unlabeled anomalies. This approach learns the known abnormality by automatically interacting with an anomaly-biased simulation environment, while continuously extending the learned abnormality to novel classes of anomaly (i.e., unknown anomalies) by actively exploring possible anomalies in the unlabeled data. This is achieved by jointly optimizing the exploitation of the small labeled anomaly data and the exploration of the rare unlabeled anomalies. Extensive experiments on 48 real-world datasets show that our model significantly outperforms five state-of-the-art competing methods.

Probing anisotropic intermolecular forces in nematic liquid crystals using NMR and computer simulations
Creators: name: Syvitski, Raymond Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Molecules of similar size and shape, but with different electrostatic properties are used to investigate the effects of molecular dipoles, quadrupoles and polarizabilities on the orientational ordering of several solutes co-dissolved in nematic liquid crystals. Permanent dipoles have a negligible influence on solute orientational order and effects from molecular polarizability interactions could not be separated from short-range interactions. Order parameters predicted from strong, short-range repulsive forces coupled with interactions between the solute quadrupole and the average electric field gradient felt by the solute (EFG) are consistent with experimental values. For liquid crystals utilized in this study, the calculated values of the (EFGys are the same sign and of similar magnitude to the (_FG)'s determined previously from experiments on D₂ and HD. However, in contradiction to these experimental results, the (EFG)'s determined from computer simulations of hard particles with embedded point quadrupoles is found to be very dependent on the properties of the particle. For a particular nematic liquid crystal (55 wt% ZLI 1132 in EBBA), the contribution to solute ordering from long-range electrostatic interactions is found to be negligible. This conclusion is supported by computer simulation studies of hard particles; models for short-range interactions which best fit the NMR experimental solute order parameters also best fit the simulation results. Experimentally determined second rank orientational order parameters and structural parameters of solutes are calculated from vibrationally and non-vibrationally corrected nuclear dipolar coupling constants; accurate dipolar couplings are obtained from analysis of the high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. For the more complicated molecules spectral parameters are first estimated from analysis of multiple quantum NMR spectra. In some cases, a modified version of a least-squares routine which independently adjusts chemical shifts, order parameters, structural parameters and/or dipolar couplings is used.

description: Fashion design, a domain traditionally defined by human creativity and personal expression, is undergoing a significant transformation with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI). The rise of AI has revolutionized industries worldwide, and the fashion industry is no exception. From predictive analytics to personalized design, AI is reshaping the processes and possibilities within fashion design, introducing novel opportunities for efficiency, sustainability, and innovation. However, this fusion of AI with creative industries like fashion also raises critical questions regarding the role of human designers, the future of artistic expression, and the ethics of AI-driven creativity (Wilson, 2023).

description: We analyze the infinite range Ising spin-glass in a transverse-field below the critical temperature by a one step replica symmetry theory(1S-RSB). The set of n replicas is divided in r blocks of m replicas each. We present results for different values of the block-size parameter m. The spin operators are represented by bilinear combinations of fermionic fields and we compare the results of two models: in the four state (4S)-model the diagonal S^z operator has two unphysical vanishing eigenvalues, that are suppressed by a restraint in the two states (2S)-model. In the static approximation we obtain qualitatively similar results for both models. They both exhibit a critical temperature that decreases when the transverse field increases,until it reaches a quantum critical point (QCP) at the same value of the critical field, and they are both unstable under replica symmetry breaking in the whole spin glass phase. Below the critical temperature we present results for the order parameters and free energy.

description: The emergence of biotechnology in crop and livestock applications has been an issue of great controversy. Proponents argue that the potential benefits are dramatic while opponents have raised many concerns about the technology's risks. The Starlink debacle is a prime example of the undesirable outcomes which the debate has created. Given the controversy, what is the future of biotechnology for food uses? This paper is designed to address this question with a focus on the feasible range of alternative futures (scenarios) that could emerge. As a major variable in this analysis, the integrity of the scientific and business communities plays a critically important role. The paper begins with a description of three key uncertainties-food security, environmental/health impacts, and consumer reaction-that will define the future for biotechnology's use in food applications. Based on these uncertainties, four alternative future scenarios for biotechnology are presented. The role of messenger integrity is then introduced. The integrity of various possible messengers (scientists, businesses, government, and non-profits) is examined. The concept of integrity is then used to address a series of current biotechnology issues. Throughout the paper, comparisons and contrasts between the developed and developing world are made.

ETYMOLOGY. — Named in honor of Prof. Claude Lévi in recognition of a lifetime devoted to sponge biology.
DISTRIBUTION. — Pacific coast of Panama, shallow water, 3- 5 m.
DESCRIPTION
Thin crusts, up to 1 mm in thickness, covering up to 20-25 cm 2 in area (only a few cm 2 were collected). Colour bright orange. Surface smooth, fine-grained, no special markings were noted. Structure compact.
Skeleton
In dehydrated sections (Fig. 1F), the surface appears pierced by the numerous curved styles which stand erect between the rhabdomes of desmas II. Some styles may lie loosely, tangentially to the surface. The choanosomal skeleton is composed of a thin basal layer of desmas I with moderate zygosis. On top of this layer is a thick continuous layer or alternatively several layers of desmas II. The upper layer or most proximally situated desmas II have some of the rhabdomes (see arrows in Fig. 1F) protruding beyond the surface among the styles. All cladomes are facing down.
Spicules
Smooth desmas I (Fig. 1H), with thin multiply branched cladi, dimensions: 90-112 × 5-10 µm (n = 12). Smooth, more robust desmas II (Fig. 1G), with cladomes strongly concave and strongly tuberculate, dimensions: 94-136 × 12- 20 µm. Rhabdomes conical and fairly straight, mostly smooth, dimensions: 47-141 × 15-23 µm. Smooth, curved, relatively thin styles (Fig. 1I), thicker at the base, with sharp points, most often slightly bent on the basal part, dimensions variable but in single size category, dimensions: 136- 460 × 4-12 µm.
REMARKS
This species resembles D. rhabdophorus (Hentschel, 1912 as Lophacanthus) and D. meandroides n. sp. in many morphological aspects, and it is likely they are closely related. Its specific characters are the distinctly smaller desmas I which are concentrated in an unusually thin layer at the base, and the rhabdomes of desmas II which are on average shorter than those of the other two species. In view of this, it is unlikely that D. levii n. sp. constitutes a disjunct population of either of these.

description: On January 21, 1997, Governor Engler signed into law 1996 P.A. 591, the Land Division Act. This Act replaced the Subdivision Control Act after 30 years and changed the rules on how land is divided in Michigan. 1997 P.A. 87, effective July 28, 1997, amended the recently created 1996 Land Division Act. While some hailed these as positive changes allowing improved land use, others strongly disagree. This paper is an attempt to alleviate the frustration by providing a history of land division legislation in Michigan because past laws creates an assumed set of rights which are not easily changes. The second focus of the paper is to lessen the confusion level by defining the main points of the law.

description: We study the hemisphere partition function of a three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric $U(N)$ gauge theory with one adjoint and one fundamental hypermultiplet -- the ADHM quiver theory. In particular, we propose a distinguished set of UV boundary conditions which yield Verma modules of the quantised chiral rings of the Higgs and Coulomb branches. In line with a recent proposal by two of the authors in collaboration with M. Bullimore, we show explicitly that the hemisphere partition functions recover the characters of these modules in two limits, and realise blocks gluing exactly to the partition functions of the theory on closed three-manifolds. We study the geometry of the vortex moduli space and investigate the interpretation of the vortex partition functions as equivariant indices of quasimaps to the Hilbert scheme of points in $\mathbb{C}^2$. We also investigate half indices of the ADHM quiver gauge theory in the presence of a line operator and discuss their geometric interpretation. Along the way we find interesting relations between our hemisphere blocks and related quantities in topological string theory and equivariant quantum K-theory.

description: Starting from the equation of motion of the quantum operator of a real scalar field phi in de Sitter space-time, a simple differential equation is derived which describes the evolution of quantum fluctuations of this field. Full de Sitter invariance is assumed and no ad hoc infrared cutoff is introduced. This equation is solved explicitly and in massive case our result agrees with the standard one. In massless case the large time behavior of our solution differs by sign from the expression found in earlier papers. A possible cause of discrepancy may be a spontaneous breaking of de Sitter invariance.

Desmas which can be separated in basally arranged smaller desmas (Fig. 2H), presumably desmas I, with more tuberculate cladi, dimensions: 240-270 × 20 µm, and peripherally arranged more robust desmas (Fig. 2G), presumably desmas II, dimensions cladome: 200- 310 × 30-45 µm. They are not clearly separated morphologically and the larger desmas lack a distinct rhabdome. Monactinal spicules are styles and rhabdostyles, variable in form, size and curvature, the smaller sizes tend to be rhabdostyles, dimensions: 224-1000 × 14-31 µm.
REMARKS
Hentschel (1912) states that this species differs from D. incrustans mainly in the absence of clear rhabdomes in the desmas. A syntype specimen from the Senckenberg Museum was re-examined (SMF 1560, from stn 77 of the Merton collection described by Hentschel). The rhabdomes are certainly inconspicuous, but nevertheless there is a clear division in thinner and more robust desmas. So far no other specimens of this species have been recorded, but it is possible that some of the Indian Ocean records of D. incrustans are referable to this species.

description: Let $Γ$ be a torsion free cocompact lattice in $\aut(\cl T_1)\times\aut(\cl T_2)$, where $\cl T_1$, $\cl T_2$ are trees whose vertices all have degree at least three. The group $H_2(Γ, \bb Z)$ is determined explicitly in terms of an associated 2-dimensional tiling system. It follows that under appropriate conditions the crossed product $C^*$-algebra $\cl A$ associated with the action of $Γ$ on the boundary of $\cl T_1\times \cl T_2$ satisfies $\rank K_0(\cl A) = 2\cdot\rank H_2(Γ, \bb Z)$.

description: Desmanthus (?) macphersoni Uriz, 1988
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — None.
DISTRIBUTION. — Namibia, on rocks in deeper water, 160 m.
DESCRIPTION
Thinly or thickly encrusting sponge covering extensions of up to 25 cm 2 on rock, and attaining a thickness of 8 mm. Consistency stony. Surface extremely hispid, traversed by grooves acting as surface current channels. Oscules 1-1.5 mm in diameter, usually located at the confluence of two subectosomal canals. Colour translucent grayish blue in life, cream in alcohol.
Skeleton
Ectosome conspicuous, easily detachable where it lines the subectosomal aquiferous canals. Densely packed with tangential, triactinal desmas. Choanosomal skeleton composed of several overlapping layers of fused, tetracrepid desmas (II) with the cladi pointing towards the substratum and the rhabdome pointing upwards. Curved styles with the head resting on the upper layer of desmas, piercing the ectosome perpendicularly.
Spicules
Basal, tetracrepid desmas II with irregularly branching, tuberculate cladi and a short rhabdome, dimensions cladome: 330-490 µm; rhabdome, dimensions: 120-170 × 35-45 µm. Ectosomal desmas (?), highly tuberculate, with lightly spined tubercles, dimensions: 80-190 µm. Styles, very large, variably curved, sharp apex, dimensions: 440-2750 × 28-60 µm.
REMARKS
The description of Uriz (1988) mentions rhabds in both desma types, which are differentiated apparently mostly in size, the peripheral ones being smallest. The latter are also packed in the ectosomal region which is distinctly different from the arrangement in e.g. D. meandroides n. sp. Moreover, these ectosomal “desmas” do not appear to be proper desmas. Judging from the excellent illustrations provided by Uriz, they resemble large microscleres dubbed acanthamphiasters (Wiedenmayer 1994), such as found in e.g. Alectona (Hadromerida, Clionidae). Further examination is necessary to determine whether these spicules are really proper to the sponge; if so then it probably belongs to an undescribed genus. This suggestion is strengthened by the large size of the styles which is unusual for the genus Desmanthus. The presence of acanthamphiaster-like spicules in an otherwise obviously desmanthid sponge would provide a distinct clue to the affinities of the family (cf. below).

description: We use a meta-learning neural-network approach to analyse data from a measured quantum state. Once our neural network has been trained it can be used to efficiently sample measurements of the state in measurement bases not contained in the training data. These samples can be used calculate expectation values and other useful quantities. We refer to this process as "state sample tomography". We encode the state's measurement outcome distributions using an efficiently parameterized generative neural network. This allows each stage in the tomography process to be performed efficiently even for large systems. Our scheme is demonstrated on recent IBM Quantum devices, producing a model for a 6-qubit state's measurement outcomes with a predictive accuracy (classical fidelity) > 95% for all test cases using only 100 random measurement settings as opposed to the 729 settings required for standard full tomography using local measurements. This reduction in the required number of measurements scales favourably, with training data in 200 measurement settings yielding a predictive accuracy > 92% for a 10 qubit state where 59,049 settings are typically required for full local measurement-based quantum state tomography. A reduction in number of measurements by a factor, in this case, of almost 600 could allow for estimations of expectation values and state fidelities in practicable times on current quantum devices.

description: In one dimensional transport problems the scattering matrix $S$ is decomposed into a block structure corresponding to reflection and transmission matrices at the two ends. For $S$ a random unitary matrix, the singular value probability distribution function of these blocks is calculated. The same is done when $S$ is constrained to be symmetric, or to be self dual quaternion real, or when $S$ has real elements, or has real quaternion elements. Three methods are used: metric forms; a variant of the Ingham-Seigel matrix integral; and a theorem specifying the Jacobi random matrix ensemble in terms of Wishart distributed matrices.

description: Spin and orbital angular momentum of light plays a central role in quantum nanophotonics as well as topological electrodynamics. Here, we show that the thermal radiation from finite-sized bodies comprising of nonreciprocal magneto-optical materials can exert a spin torque even in global thermal equilibrium. Moving beyond the paradigm of near-field heat transfer, we calculate near-field radiative angular momentum transfer between finite-sized nonreciprocal objects by combining Rytov's fluctuational electrodynamics with the theory of optical angular momentum. We prove that a single magneto-optical cubic particle in non-equilibrium with its surroundings experiences a torque in the presence of an applied magnetic field (T-symmetry breaking). Furthermore, even in global thermal equilibrium, two particles with misaligned gyrotropic axes experience equal magnitude torques with opposite signs which tend to align their gyrotropic axes parallel to each other. Our results are universally applicable to semiconductors like InSb (magneto-plasmas) as well as Weyl semi-metals which exhibit the anomalous Hall effect (gyrotropy) at infrared frequencies. Our work paves the way towards near-field angular momentum transfer mediated by thermal fluctuations for nanoscale devices.

description: This paper proposes a new way to evaluate the role of profitability and risk in the dairy industry, one that incorporates the effects of uncertainty about future returns when investments are irreversible, or sunk. The usefulness of this new approach is demonstrated by the light it sheds on recent attempts by Wisconsin dairy farmers to develop low capital investment strategies and why these initiatives might be crucial to the vitality of the state's industry as a whole. The value of this paper, however, reaches beyond the contribution it offers to comparisons of the viability of alternative investment strategies in dairy, because it is applicable to evaluating profitability and risk in any economic activity, inside or outside of agriculture, where much of the investment is irreversible and uncertainty about future returns is important.

description: Thescelosaurus cf. T. neglectus Gilmore, 1913
Figure 9E, F
The material, consisting of about 12 teeth from the Judith River Formation, is the first record of the genus from the Campanian of the North American continent. Gilmore (1913, 1915), described T. neglectus from the Lance Formation of Wyoming. Later Parks (1926) described in detail the skeleton of T. warreni from the Edmonton Formation of Alberta. Sternberg (1937) erected a new genus, Parkosaurus, for the reception of this species. Sternberg (1940b) described yet another species, T. edmontonensis, from the Edmonton Formation of Alberta, and reviewed the classification of the Hypsilophodontidae.
Based on criteria listed by Sternberg (1940b, p. 483), premaxillary, maxillary, and dentary teeth appear to be present in the Judith River Formation. They are all approximately of the same size with one notable exception, AMNH 8538 from Clambank Hollow, which may not be a hypsilophodont. The other teeth are consistently smaller than those figured by Sternberg (1940b, p. 484, figs. 2-8). AMNH 8536 is triangular in shape with a sharply pointed apex (fig. 9E, F). The anterior and posterior ridges may be straight or slightly concave, and the presence and development of denticles is variable. Denticles may be well developed on the anterior and posterior crests, or may be restricted only to the posterior crest. The anterior edge is usually straight as a result of development of a principal wear facet on the internal side.
Judging from the figures of Sternberg (1940b, p. 484, figs. 2, 3), AMNH 8539 from Clambank Hollow is probably a premaxillary tooth of Tlhescelosaurus. The denticles are faint but appear to be developed on both the anterior and the posterior edges. A wear facet is present on the anterior half of the crown, on the internal face. The crown is higher than long and constricted at the base. No cingulum is present. The root is subcylindrical in cross section and hollow. Despite the small size and early stratigraphic occurrence of these specimens it does not seem advisable to name a new species based on them.
