description: The purpose of this note is to recall one remarkable theorem of Khinchin about the special role of the Gaussian distribution. This theorem allows us to give a new interpretation of the Lindeberg condition: it guarantees the uniform integrability of the squares of normed sums of random variables and, thus, the passage to the limit under the expectation sign. The latter provides a simple proof of the central limit theorem for independent random variables.

description: Introduction THE RIGHT WAY TO KISS. LOOK HOT, FEEL GREAT. WOULD YOU DATE THIS GUY? WILL YOU SURVIVE REAL LIFE? 10 WAYS"¦TO SMELL PRETTY ALL SUMMER. QUIZ: ARE YOU BOY CRAZY? These are headlines in current issues of popular teen magazines Seventeen, CosmoGIRL, and YM. The number of teenagers in this country is on the rise, and magazines and advertisers are desperately vying for the billions of dollars of discretionary income that teenagers spend on entertainment (Dobosz, 2001). However, the teen market is fragmented and fickle, so magazine publishers struggle to keep up with shifting tastes (Merrill, 1999). The traditional "big three" teen magazines are Seventeen, YM, and Teen (Dobosz, 2001; Merrill, 1999; Norton, 2001; Thomsen, Weber, & Brown, 2002). Just these three magazines have a combined readership of over 10 million (Norton, 2001).

description: There has been some interest on how the average character degree affects the structure of a finite group. We define, and denote by $ \mathrm{anz}(G) $, the average number of zeros of characters of a finite group $ G $ as the number of zeros in the character table of $ G $ divided by the number of irreducible characters of $ G $. We show that if $ \mathrm{anz}(G) < 1 $, then the group $ G $ is solvable and also that if $ \mathrm{anz}(G) < \frac{1}{2} $, then $ G $ is supersolvable. We characterise abelian groups by showing that $ \mathrm{anz}(G) < \frac{1}{3} $ if and only if $ G $ is abelian.

description: The polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is encoded with exactly the same cosmic information as the CMB's temperature anistropy. However, polarization has the additional promise of accurately probing the reionization history of the universe and potentially constraining, or detecting, the primordial background of gravitational waves produced by inflation. We demonstrate that these two CMB polarization goals are mutually compatible. A polarimeter optimized to detect the inflationary gravitational wave background signature in the polarization of the CMB is well situated to detect the signatures of realistic first-light scenarios. We also discuss current results and prospects for future CMB polarization experiments.

On sufficient conditions for degrees of freedom counting of multi-field generalised Proca theories

description: We derive sufficient conditions for theories consisting of multiple vector fields, which could also couple to external fields, to be multi-field generalised Proca theories. The conditions are derived by demanding that the theories have the required structure of constraints, giving the correct number of degrees of freedom. The Faddeev-Jackiw constraint analysis is used and is cross-checked by Lagrangian constraint analysis. To ensure the theory is constraint, we impose a standard special form of Hessian matrix. The derivation benefits from the realisation that the theories are diffeomorphism invariance (or, in the case of flat spacetime, invariant under Lorentz isometry). The sufficient conditions obtained include a refinement of secondary-constraint enforcing relations derived previously in literature, as well as a condition which ensures that the iteration process of constraint analysis terminates. Some examples of theories are analysed to show whether they satisfy the sufficient conditions. Most notably, due to the obtained refinement on some of the conditions, some theories which are previously interpreted as being undesirable are in fact legitimate, and vice versa. This in turn affects the previous interpretations of cosmological implications which should later be reinvestigated.

Creating Space for Subjectivity: Wandering Discourses of Female/Teacher

Year: 2017

description: In this paper, we draw from a cluster of stories to illustrate the need for new spaces in teacher education where preservice teachers can "speak the unspeakable" in order to open up possibilities in their teacher identities. We want to demonstrate how discourses surrounding what it means to be a teacher restrict preservice teachers' abilities to problem-solve and respond critically to important educational issues. We want to show how discourses silence students to a dangerous politeness where issues of importance are denied discussion. The stories told here lead us to theorize a need for a space where preservice teachers can "speak the unspeakable," and, through this, identify and deconstruct public discourses defining what it means to be "female" and "teacher." Ultimately, we believe that such discussions are imperative if preservice teachers are to be prepared to work with sensitive issues such as gender, race, and class.

Entanglement harvesting in the presence of a reflecting boundary

description: We study, in the framework of the entanglement harvesting protocol, the entanglement harvesting of both a pair of inertial and uniformly accelerated detectors locally interacting with vacuum massless scalar fields subjected to a perfectly reflecting plane boundary. We find that the presence of the boundary generally degrades the harvested entanglement when two detectors are very close to the boundary. However, when the distance between detectors and the boundary becomes comparable to the interaction duration parameter, the amount of the harvested entanglement approaches a peak, which even goes beyond that without a boundary. Remarkably, the parameter space of the detectors' separation and the magnitude of acceleration that allows entanglement harvesting to occur is enlarged due to the presence of the boundary. In this sense, the boundary plays a double-edged role on entanglement harvesting, degrading in general the harvested entanglement while enlarging the entanglement harvesting-achievable parameter space. A comparison of three different acceleration scenarios of the detectors with respect to the boundary, i.e., parallel, anti-parallel and mutually perpendicular acceleration, shows that the phenomenon of entanglement harvesting crucially depends on the acceleration, the separation between two detectors and the detectors' distance from the boundary.

Our group is undertaking an extensive search for DIBs in DLAs via QSO absorption-line systems. Six of our DLA targets are presented here. Our equivalent width (EW) limits for the 5780 DIB line strongly suggests that DIB abundance is below the Milky Way expected value or that metallicity plays a large role in DIB strengths.

Data-driven precision determination of the material budget in ALICE

description: The knowledge of the material budget with a high precision is fundamental for measurements of direct photon production using the photon conversion method due to its direct impact on the total systematic uncertainty. Moreover, it influences many aspects of the charged-particle reconstruction performance. In this article, two procedures to determine data-driven corrections to the material-budget description in ALICE simulation software are developed. One is based on the precise knowledge of the gas composition in the Time Projection Chamber. The other is based on the robustness of the ratio between the produced number of photons and charged particles, to a large extent due to the approximate isospin symmetry in the number of produced neutral and charged pions. Both methods are applied to ALICE data allowing for a reduction of the overall material budget systematic uncertainty from 4.5% down to 2.5%. Using these methods, a locally correct material budget is also achieved. The two proposed methods are generic and can be applied to any experiment in a similar fashion.

description: Many school districts across the country are searching for competent leaders to head their school systems (Henry, 2000; Johnson, 1996). Tingley (1996), Bowler (2000), and Czaja and Harman (1997) reported a growing concern over the shortage of qualified applicants to lead the nation's school districts. Fenwick (2000) stated that higher turnover rates, lower job appeal and a decreased number of candidates characterize the modern superintendency. As evidence, Fenwick (2000) quoted AASA Director Paul Houston as stating that, typically at any one time, interim superintendents hold 15% of superintendent positions. To compound the shortage problem, Krantz (2000) projected that 80% of superintendents are nearing retirement age. The lack of leaders to lead the nation's school districts may be a crisis confronting the future of public education (Henry, 2000). With concerns of where future leaders of the nation's school system will come from, the question arises: why aren't more women entering the ranks of the superintendency?

First optical images of circumstellar dust surrounding the debris disk candidate HD 32297

description: Near-infrared imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope recently revealed a circumstellar dust disk around the A star HD 32297. Dust scattered light is detected as far as 400 AU radius and the linear morphology is consistent with a disk ~10 degrees away from an edge-on orientation. Here we present the first optical images that show the dust scattered light morphology from 560 to 1680 AU radius. The position angle of the putative disk midplane diverges by 31 degrees and the color of dust scattering is most likely blue. We associate HD 32297 with a wall of interstellar gas and the enigmatic region south of the Taurus molecular cloud. We propose that the extreme asymmetries and blue disk color originate from a collision with a clump of interstellar material as HD 32297 moves southward, and discuss evidence consistent with an age of 30 Myr or younger.

description: As a topic for my dissertation, I conducted a two-year study to explore the experiences of women who achieved highly in academics and who were also disadvantaged as children (LePage-Lees, 1997a). The women were considered high achievers since they had earned advanced degrees or were currently enrolled as advanced graduate students with at least two years of graduate work completed. Women were considered disadvantaged if they were raised in low-income homes, were first-generation college students, and had faced stress as children (e.g., family dysfunction or instability, illness, or death, etc.). From this definition, the women's resources had been limited in three categories: financial, informational, and emotional.

description: We explore nonadiabatic quantum phase transitions in an Ising spin chain with a linearly time-dependent transverse field and two different spins per unit cell. Such a spin system passes through critical points with gapless excitations, which support nonadiabatic transitions. Nevertheless, we find that the excitations on one of the chain sub-lattices are suppressed in the nearly-adiabatic regime exponentially. Thus, we reveal a coherent mechanism to induce exponentially large density separation for different quasiparticles.

description: We present the results of a detailed protocol of fetal heart examination in the first trimester, in a fetal medicine unit in Romania. Since October 2009, in Filantropia Hospital in Bucharest, we have systematically assessed pregnancies at 11–14 weeks to screen for aneuploidies and for major fetal structural defects. The fetal anatomy examination protocol included the detailed assessment of the fetal heart. This was performed using the same principles as for the second trimester examination, in the entire cohort. Our population consisted of 7693 patients and 7816 embryos. The protocol for the ultrasound evaluation of the fetal heart was completed for 7597 embryos (97.2%). The outcome is known for 6912 cases (90.9%). We diagnosed 39 heart defects − 30 in the first trimester, seven in the second trimester, two postnatally. Twenty of the 39 heart defects were isolated cardiac malformations. Twelve of the isolated heart defects were diagnosed in the first trimester. The sensitivity of the first trimester ultrasound in identifying major heart defects was 76.92%. The overall survival in cases of isolated congenital heart disease diagnosed in the first trimester was significantly lower than the survival in the cases diagnosed in the second trimester. Many (76.92%) of the significant heart defects can be diagnosed by ultrasound examination, in the first trimester. Our study is an argument for developing the multidisciplinary approach needed for the management of early detected structural heart disease.
Smoothing Gradient Tracking for Decentralized Optimization over the Stiefel Manifold with Non-smooth Regularizers

description: Recently, decentralized optimization over the Stiefel manifold has attacked tremendous attentions due to its wide range of applications in various fields. Existing methods rely on the gradients to update variables, which are not applicable to the objective functions with non-smooth regularizers, such as sparse PCA. In this paper, to the best of our knowledge, we propose the first decentralized algorithm for non-smooth optimization over Stiefel manifolds. Our algorithm approximates the non-smooth part of objective function by its Moreau envelope, and then existing algorithms for smooth optimization can be deployed. We establish the convergence guarantee with the iteration complexity of $\mathcal{O} (ε^{-4})$. Numerical experiments conducted under the decentralized setting demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithm.

description: This paper attempts to synthesize literature available regarding the status of women faculty in the academy and barriers that hinder their success. First, a short treatise of the historical and sociological perspectives of women in higher education is provided. The institutional structure, culture and climate in postsecondary institutions will be examined. Particular attention will be paid to such structural issues as hiring practices, salary, tenure, research, service, and teaching and advising loads, while intradepartmental relations, socialization and mentoring patterns, isolation, research support, and financial resources and child care will be covered under climate and cultural issues. Both the experiences of the collectivity of women as well as individual women will also be portrayed. Findings from the literature suggest that gender inequity is still a practice of the present, rather than a part of the academy's past. Finally, suggestions for improving the chances for women's success in the academy will be provided.

description: We discuss fermionic higher spin gauge symmetry breaking in AdS space from a holographic perspective. Analogously to the recently discussed bosonic case, the higher spin Goldstino mode responsible for the symmetry breaking has a non-vanishing mass in the limit in which the gauge symmetry is restored. This result is precisely in agreement with the AdS/CFT correspondence, which implies that N=4 SYM at vanishing coupling constant is dual to a theory in AdS which exhibits higher spin gauge symmetry enhancement. When the SYM coupling is non-zero, the current conservation condition becomes anomalous, and correspondingly the local higher spin symmetry in the bulk gets spontaneously broken. We also show that the mass of the Goldstino mode is exactly the one predicted by the correspondence. Finally, we obtain the form of a class of fermionic higher spin currents in the SYM side.

description: Due to mutual interference between users, power allocation problems in wireless networks are often non-convex and computationally challenging. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have recently emerged as a promising approach to tackling these problems and an approach that exploits the underlying topology of wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a novel graph representation method for wireless networks that include full-duplex (FD) nodes. We then design a corresponding FD Graph Neural Network (F-GNN) with the aim of allocating transmit powers to maximise the network throughput. Our results show that our F-GNN achieves state-of-art performance with significantly less computation time. Besides, F-GNN offers an excellent trade-off between performance and complexity compared to classical approaches. We further refine this trade-off by introducing a distance-based threshold for inclusion or exclusion of edges in the network. We show that an appropriately chosen threshold reduces required training time by roughly 20% with a relatively minor loss in performance.

description: We report measured and calculated values of radiative decay rates and vibrational branching fractions for the A$^2Π$ state of MgF. The decay rate measurements use time-correlated single photon counting with roughly 1% total uncertainty. Branching-fraction measurements are performed using two calibrated imaging systems to achieve few percent total uncertainty. We use the highly accurate multireference relativistic ab initio methods to calculate the Franck-Condon factors and transition dipole moments required to determine the decay rates and the branching fractions. The measurements provide a precision benchmark for testing the accuracy of the molecular structure calculations. The determination of the decay rate and vibrational branching fractions can be used to inform future optical cycling and laser cooling schemes for the MgF molecule.

description: Unusual physical properties of single-wall carbon nanotubes have started a search for similar tubular structures of other elements. In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of single-wall nanotubes of silicon and group III-V compounds. Starting from precursor graphene-like structures we investigated the stability, energetics and electronic structure of zigzag and armchair tubes using first-principles pseudopotential plane wave method and finite temperature ab-initio molecular dynamics calculations. We showed that (n,0) zigzag and (n,n) armchair nanotubes of silicon having n > 6 are stable but those with n < 6 can be stabilized by internal or external adsorption of transition metal elements. Some of these tubes have magnetic ground state leading to spintronic properties. We also examined the stability of nanotubes under radial and axial deformation. Owing to the weakness of radial restoring force, stable Si nanotubes are radially soft. Undeformed zigzag nanotubes are found to be metallic for 6 < n < 11 due to curvature effect; but a gap starts to open for n > 12. Furthermore, we identified stable tubular structures formed by stacking of Si polygons. We found AlP, GaAs, and GaN (8,0) single-wall nanotubes stable and semiconducting. Our results are compared with those of single-wall carbon nanotubes.

description: Solution concepts of traditional game theory assume entirely rational players; therefore, their ability to exploit subrational opponents is limited. One type of subrationality that describes human behavior well is the quantal response. While there exist algorithms for computing solutions against quantal opponents, they either do not scale or may provide strategies that are even worse than the entirely-rational Nash strategies. This paper aims to analyze and propose scalable algorithms for computing effective and robust strategies against a quantal opponent in normal-form and extensive-form games. Our contributions are: (1) we define two different solution concepts related to exploiting quantal opponents and analyze their properties; (2) we prove that computing these solutions is computationally hard; (3) therefore, we evaluate several heuristic approximations based on scalable counterfactual regret minimization (CFR); and (4) we identify a CFR variant that exploits the bounded opponents better than the previously used variants while being less exploitable by the worst-case perfectly-rational opponent.

description: Although women have studied and written about their positions in the academy for some time, it is only through ground-breaking work of Belenky, M. F., Clinchy, B. M., Goldberger, N. R. & Tarule, J. M. (1986), that we have formally acknowledged that women learn, construct, and process knowledge and events differently from men. They determined that women learned in relation to one another, that collaborative learning superseded competition, and that females perceived teaching and learning in relation to self. That research in turn has led to further understandings of power æ power in relation to what is valued as the legitimate construction of knowledge and what is valued as knowledge per se. Campbell (1997), Gore (1993), Lewis (1993) and others have commented articulately on the need to view women's education as different in one way or another, yet recognize that such apperception, if accepted, concomitantly supposes a shift in power relations

description: The effects of a frequency-modulated pump on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a flowing plasma are investigated by theoretical analysis, three-wave simulations, and kinetic simulations. The resonance point of SBS oscillates in a certain spatial region with time when frequency modulations are applied. There exists a certain frequency modulation that causes the velocity of resonant points to be similar to the group velocity of the seed laser, which increases the SBS reflectivity. The SBS can also be suppressed by frequency modulation with larger bandwidth. In the kinetic simulations, the effects of the frequency-modulated pump on the reflectivity agree with our theoretical predictions. Multi-location autoresonance is also observed in the narrow-bandwidth frequency modulation case, which can also increase the SBS reflectivity. Our work provides a method for selecting the laser bandwidth to inhibit SBS in inhomogeneous plasmas.

description: With the advent of educational accountability and the increase in job related stress, school districts are having a very difficult time getting and keeping quality public school administrators. Administrators across the country are finding themselves being pulled into a million directions. In some cases, administrators are facing each dilemma of the day alone — no assistant principal or key support to help with the stresses and strains they must face as leader of the phenomenon faced in schools. That same phenomenon has also had a great effect on university systems to produce quality administrators who "want" to serve in the leadership capacity. Not only are school districts scrambling to attract certified and qualified leaders, universities are redesigning their leadership programs to try to supply the demands of the public school settings.

description: The defining property of every three-dimensional $\varepsilon$-contact manifold is shown to be equivalent to requiring the fulfillment of London's equation in 2+1 electromagnetism. To illustrate this point, we show that every such manifold that is also K-contact and $η$-Einstein is a vacuum solution to the most general quadratic-curvature gravity action, in particular of New Massive Gravity. As an example we analyse $S^3$ equipped with a contact structure together with an associated metric tensor such that the canonical generators of the contact distribution are null. The resulting Lorentzian metric is shown to be a vacuum solution of three-dimensional massive gravity. Moreover, by coupling the New Massive Gravity action to Maxwell-Chern-Simons we obtain a class of charged solutions stemming directly from the para-contact metric structure. Finally, we repeat the exercise for the Abelian Higgs theory.

description: Despite the importance of Jupiter and Saturn to Earth's formation and habitability, there has not yet been a comprehensive observational study of how giant exoplanets correlate with the architectural properties of close-in, sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets. This is largely because transit surveys are particularly insensitive to planets at orbital separations >1 au, and so their census of Jupiter-like planets is incomplete, inhibiting our study of the relationship between Jupiter-like planets and the small planets that do transit. To investigate the relationship between close-in, small and distant, giant planets, we conducted the Kepler Giant Planet Survey (KGPS). Using the W. M. Keck Observatory High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer, we spent over a decade collecting 2844 radial velocities (RVs; 2167 of which are presented here for the first time) of 63 Sunlike stars that host 157 transiting planets. We had no prior knowledge of which systems would contain giant planets beyond 1 au, making this survey unbiased with respect to previously detected Jovians. We announce RV-detected companions to 20 stars from our sample. These include 13 Jovians (0.3 MJ < M sin i < 13 MJ, 1 au < a < 10 au), eight nontransiting sub-Saturns, and three stellar-mass companions. We also present updated masses and densities of 84 transiting planets. The KGPS project leverages one of the longest-running and most data-rich collections of RVs of the NASA Kepler systems yet, and it will provide a basis for addressing whether giant planets help or hinder the growth of sub-Neptune-sized and terrestrial planets. Future KGPS papers will examine the relationship between small, transiting planets and their long-period companions.

description: We conjecture a general upper bound on the strength of gravity relative to gauge forces in quantum gravity. This implies, in particular, that in a four-dimensional theory with gravity and a U(1) gauge field with gauge coupling g, there is a new ultraviolet scale Lambda=g M_{Pl}, invisible to the low-energy effective field theorist, which sets a cutoff on the validity of the effective theory. Moreover, there is some light charged particle with mass smaller than or equal to Lambda. The bound is motivated by arguments involving holography and absence of remnants, the (in) stability of black holes as well as the non-existence of global symmetries in string theory. A sharp form of the conjecture is that there are always light "elementary" electric and magnetic objects with a mass/charge ratio smaller than the corresponding ratio for macroscopic extremal black holes, allowing extremal black holes to decay. This conjecture is supported by a number of non-trivial examples in string theory. It implies the necessary presence of new physics beneath the Planck scale, not far from the GUT scale, and explains why some apparently natural models of inflation resist an embedding in string theory.

Legitimated Violence in Schools: The Power Behind the Paddle

description: Corporal punishment is a form of discipline in which an adult deliberately inflicts pain on children to correct misbehavior (Paintal, 1999). Since the colonial period, corporal punishment has been accepted and practiced in American schools. Although use has steadily declined since the 1970s, the Center for Effective Discipline (2000) estimates that public school officials administer corporal punishment to more than two thousand American schoolchildren every day. This paper examines one principal's use of corporal punishment. The analysis unmasks four forces that legitimate corporal punishment: tradition, law, religion, and hegemonic masculinity. The conclusion identifies alternatives for just and humane treatment of schoolchildren.

description: It is known that rank-two bimolecular mass-action systems do not admit limit cycles. With a view to understanding which small mass-action systems admit oscillation, in this paper we study rank-two networks with bimolecular source complexes but allow target complexes with higher molecularities. As our goal is to find oscillatory networks of minimal size, we focus on networks with three reactions, the minimum number that is required for oscillation. However, some of our intermediate results are valid in greater generality.
 One key finding is that an isolated periodic orbit cannot occur in a three-reaction, trimolecular, mass-action system with bimolecular sources. In fact, we characterise all networks in this class that admit a periodic orbit; in every case all nearby orbits are periodic too. Apart from the well-known Lotka and Ivanova reactions, we identify another network in this class that admits a center. This new network exhibits a vertical Andronov--Hopf bifurcation.
 Furthermore, we characterise all two-species, three-reaction, bimolecular-sourced networks that admit an Andronov--Hopf bifurcation with mass-action kinetics. These include two families of networks that admit a supercritical Andronov--Hopf bifurcation, and hence a stable limit cycle. These networks necessarily have a target complex with a molecularity of at least four, and it turns out that there are exactly four such networks that are tetramolecular.
