Exploring escalating interpersonal cheating behaviours
Creators: name: Spence, Katie

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: The infidelity literature within romantic relationships is well established. Yet these previous studies have tended to largely focus on infidelity between perpetrators and strangers. However, as most of us are aware either through our own lives, lives of others, or through popular media that perpetrators do not cheat with only strangers. Indeed, Shackelford and Buss (1996) found that people perceived cheating with a stranger to be less of a betrayal than cheating with an acquaintance but cheating with a friend was of greatest betrayal overall. No studies to date have investigated whether repeat offenders escalate their cheating behaviours by choice of interlopers. The present research studies aim to investigate both the perpetrator and victim sides and identify the main characteristics and personality traits that comprise of both. The present study is exploratory in nature and aims to determine the factors associated with interpersonal cheating behaviours for subsequent related studies.

description: In a variety of neutron lifetime experiments, in addition to $β-$decay, neutrons can be lost by other mechanisms including wall losses. Failure to account for these other loss mechanisms produces systematic measurement error and associated systematic uncertainties in neutron lifetime measurements. In this work, we develop a physical model for neutron wall losses and construct a competing risks survival analysis model to account for losses due to the joint effect of $β-$decay losses, wall losses of marginally trapped neutrons, and an additional absorption mechanism. We determine the survival probability function associated with the wall loss mechanism by a Monte Carlo method. Based on a fit of the competing risks model to a subset of the NIST experimental data, we determine the mean lifetime of trapped neutrons to be approximately 700 s -- considerably less than the current best estimate of (880.1 $\pm$ 1.1) s promulgated by the Particle Data Group [1]. Currently, experimental studies are underway to determine if this discrepancy can be explained by neutron capture by ${}^3$He impurities in the trapping volume. Analysis of the full NIST data will be presented in a later publication.

Pressing ahead: developing and testing of new measures in implementation science
Creators: name: Weiner, Bryan
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2015

description: Measurement forms the foundation of any scientific
field; yet, systematic reviews reveal that many available
measures of implementation context, process, and outcomes
lack reliability or validity. An urgent need exists
for psychometrically strong measures in implementation
science; without them, the field cannot produce cumulative
knowledge about implementation barriers, facilitators,
processes, or generate sound evidence about which
implementation strategies work best, when, and for
whom. In this panel session, three researchers reported
on their efforts to develop and test new measures of
constructs featured in the Consolidated Framework for
Implementation Research (CFIR). Maria Fernandez
described the work of the CDC/NCI-funded Cancer
Prevention and Control Research Network to create
measures for seven constructs in the inner-setting
domain of CFIR and assess the psychometric properties
of those measures using data from a multi-state sample
of community health centers. Shuting Liang reported on
the Network’s effort to develop and assess measures of
selected constructs in other CFIR domains and discussed
the inter-relationships of these constructs at both
the individual and clinic level of analysis. Sara Jacobs
explored in two different study contexts the psychometric
properties of, and measurement issues associated with, a
new theory-based measure of implementation climate.
Building on the presentations, Stephen Taplin moderated
a discussion between panelists and participants about the
role of theory in measurement, the challenges of adapting
existing measures, the implications of item-wording
choices, the effects of context on measurement properties,
and the measurement of organization-level constructs
using individual-level data. Participants learned about new
measures they could use in their own research; in addition,
they engaged in dialogue about needs, opportunities, challenges,
and recommended practices in measurement in

description: Inventoried and noted Cold War resources at Travis AFB are complex, and include five distinct physical locations, four on base and one off site (see Figures 2 and 3 in the report). At the installation are the 33-building AFSWP/SAC Q Area, also known as the West River Depot, the Fairfield AFS, and the 3083rd Aviation Depot Group (ADG), of 1951-1960, and the immediately adjacent SAC missile test stand sites and run-up shop of 1957-1962; the 10-building ADC alert and readiness area of 1952-1955, and the immediately adjacent U.S. Army Nike missile assembly shops of 1954/1959[67]; the SAC long-range bomber area of 1953-1955, with its related munitions storage area of the same period; and the SAC tanker readiness crew facility (molehole) and alert apron of 1958-1960. Off site is the Point Arena AFS, an AC&W radar squadron complex of 1951-1962. Located 100 direct miles to the northwest of Travis AFB on the California coast, the Point Arena facility is herein noted, but remains uninventoried. Point Arena is one of the 85 AC&W permanent radar complexes built during these years and is configured similarly to the inventoried AC&W radar sites at Scott, Charleston, and Grand Forks AFBs. The total number of buildings and structures individually inventoried is 50, located at Travis AFB. The uninventoried Point Arena AC&W radar facilities are assumed to have originally included between-45 and 50 buildings, but the complex's current intactness is unevaluated herein. Buildings and structures are listed here in numerical real property order, and are identified by architect/engineer, original Cold War use, and date of design (see Figures 4a, 4b, and 4c in the report). Those properties interpreted as potentially eligible for the NRHP are bulleted, with summary discussion following the inventory list.
Temporal voice areas exist in autism spectrum disorder but are dysfunctional for voice identity recognition

description: The ability to recognise the identity of others is a key requirement for successful communication. Brain regions that respond selectively to voices exist in humans from early infancy on. Currently, it is unclear whether dysfunction of these voice-sensitive regions can explain voice identity recognition impairments. Here, we used two independent functional magnetic resonance imaging studies to investigate voice processing in a population that has been reported to have no voicesensitive regions: autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Our results refute the earlier report that individuals with ASD have no responses in voice-sensitive regions: Passive listening to vocal, compared to non-vocal, sounds elicited typical responses in voice-sensitive regions in the high-functioning ASD group and controls. In contrast, the ASD group had a dysfunction in voice-sensitive regions during voice identity but not speech recognition in the right posterior superior temporal sulcus/ gyrus (STS/STG)—a region implicated in processing complex spectrotemporal voice features and unfamiliar voices. The right anterior STS/STG correlated with voice identity recognition performance in controls but not in the ASD group. The findings suggest that right STS/STG dysfunction is critical for explaining voice recognition impairments in high-functioning ASD and show that ASD is not characterised by a general lack of voice-sensitive responses.
On the Convergence Rate of Incremental Aggregated Gradient Algorithms

description: Motivated by applications to distributed optimization over networks and large-scale data processing in machine learning, we analyze the deterministic incremental aggregated gradient method for minimizing a finite sum of smooth functions where the sum is strongly convex. This method processes the functions one at a time in a deterministic order and incorporates a memory of previous gradient values to accelerate convergence. Empirically it performs well in practice; however, no theoretical analysis with explicit rate results was previously given in the literature to our knowledge, in particular most of the recent efforts concentrated on the randomized versions. In this paper, we show that this deterministic algorithm has global linear convergence and characterize the convergence rate. We also consider an aggregated method with momentum and demonstrate its linear convergence. Our proofs rely on a careful choice of a Lyapunov function that offers insight into the algorithm's behavior and simplifies the proofs considerably.
Spatial clustering in the spatio-temporal dynamics of endemic cholera
Creators: name: Emch, Michael
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2010

description: Abstract Background The spatio-temporal patterns of infectious diseases that are environmentally driven reflect the combined effects of transmission dynamics and environmental heterogeneity. They contain important information on different routes of transmission, including the role of environmental reservoirs. Consideration of the spatial component in infectious disease dynamics has led to insights on the propagation of fronts at the level of counties in rabies in the US, and the metapopulation behavior at the level of cities in childhood diseases such as measles in the UK, both at relatively coarse scales. As epidemiological data on individual infections become available, spatio-temporal patterns can be examined at higher resolutions. Methods The extensive spatio-temporal data set for cholera in Matlab, Bangladesh, maps the individual location of cases from 1983 to 2003. This unique record allows us to examine the spatial structure of cholera outbreaks, to address the role of primary transmission, occurring from an aquatic reservoir to the human host, and that of secondary transmission, involving a feedback between current and past levels of infection. We use Ripley's K and L indices and bootstrapping methods to evaluate the occurrence of spatial clustering in the cases during outbreaks using different temporal windows. The spatial location of cases was also confronted against the spatial location of water sources. Results Spatial clustering of cholera cases was detected at different temporal and spatial scales. Cases relative to water sources also exhibit spatial clustering. Conclusions The clustering of cases supports an important role of secondary transmission in the dynamics of cholera epidemics in Matlab, Bangladesh. The spatial clustering of cases relative to water sources, and its timing, suggests an effective role of water reservoirs during the onset of cholera outbreaks. Once primary transmission has initiated an outbreak, secondary transmission takes over and plays a fundamental role in shaping the epidemics in this endemic area.

description: Dark matter only simulations of galaxy formation predict many more subhalos around a Milky Way like galaxy than the number of observed satellites. Proposed solutions require the satellites to inhabit dark matter halos with masses between one to ten billion solar masses at the time they fell into the Milky Way. Here we use a modelling approach, independent of cosmological simulations, to obtain a preinfall mass of 360 (+380,-230) million solar masses for one of the Milky Way's satellites: Carina. This determination of a low halo mass for Carina can be accommodated within the standard model only if galaxy formation becomes stochastic in halos below ten billion solar masses. Otherwise Carina, the eighth most luminous Milky Way dwarf, would be expected to inhabit a significantly more massive halo. The implication of this is that a population of "dark dwarfs" should orbit the Milky Way: halos devoid of stars and yet more massive than many of their visible counterparts.

Role of the long slender to short stumpy transition in the life cycle of the african trypanosomes
Creators: name: Seed, John R.
name: Wenck, Mary
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2003

description: Abstract It is shown using mouse models that the African trypanosomes exert a significant drain upon their host's carbohydrate (energy) resources; and that the higher the parasitemia, the greater the energy demand. It is, therefore, hypothesized that the long slender (LS) to short stumpy (SS) transition evolved, in part, to help control the parasitemia and to increase host survival time. It is also suggested that the SS population is heterogeneous. One part of the population is tsetse infective, while a second older SS population is undergoing apoptotic-like events, which leads to their cell death and their stimulation of the host's immune response. This immune stimulation by the old dying SS forms would eliminate the major LS and SS variant antigen population, and produce the chronic relapsing infection. It is concluded that the SS stages during the apoptosis-like process are acting altruistically. They give their lives to insure the long-term survival of the host, and to insure renewed growth of the minor LS variants and new infective SS forms. This process is predicted to increase the probability for the successful transmission of the trypanosomes to a new host.

description: Place matters a great deal to many people and informs much of their perspectives, worldviews, and values. So does identifying who “belongs” in a place and who respects or transgresses on a real or imagined boundary, whether physical, cultural, or social. Sometimes this evaluation happens by evaluating written language or speech. At other times, it happens through analyzing visual phenomena, such as how someone dresses, who they accompany, or where they position themselves in a space. This essay argues that an attention to the people who encounter and consume news; a willingness to focus on heterogenous news providers; and an ability to select and use visual research methods that are grounded in a field-specific context are necessary to provide depth and nuance to the scholarly study of the visual news representation of people on the margins of social space.

description: High-index surfaces of silicon with adsorbed gold can reconstruct to form highly ordered linear step arrays. These steps take the form of a narrow strip of graphitic silicon. In some cases - specifically, for Si(553)-Au and Si(557)-Au - a large fraction of the silicon atoms at the exposed edge of this strip are known to be spin-polarized and charge-ordered along the edge. The periodicity of this charge ordering is always commensurate with the structural periodicity along the step edge and hence leads to highly ordered arrays of local magnetic moments that can be regarded as "spin chains". Here, we demonstrate theoretically as well as experimentally that the closely related Si(775)-Au surface has - despite its very similar overall structure - zero spin polarization at its step edge. Using a combination of density-functional theory and scanning tunneling microscopy, we propose an electron-counting model that accounts for these differences. The model also predicts that unintentional defects and intentional dopants can create local spin moments at Si(hhk)-Au step edges. We analyze in detail one of these predictions and verify it experimentally. This finding opens the door to using techniques of surface chemistry and atom manipulation to create and control silicon spin chains.

description: Detecting violent scenes in movies is an important video content understanding functionality e.g., for providing automated youth pro- tection services. One key issue in designing algorithms for violence detection is the choice of discriminative features. In this paper, we employ mid-level audio features and compare their discriminative power against low-level audio and visual features. We fuse these mid-level audio cues with low-level visual ones at the decision level in order to further improve the performance of violence detection. We use Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) as audio and average motion as visual features. In order to learn a violence model, we choose two-class support vector machines (SVMs). Our experimental results on detecting violent video shots in Hollywood movies show that mid-level audio features are more discriminative and provide more precise results than low-level ones. The detection performance is further enhanced by fusing the mid-level audio cues with low-level visual ones using an SVM-based decision fusion.

description: Despite the highly porous nature with significantly large surface area, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) can be hardly used in electronic, and optoelectronic devices due to their extremely poor electrical conductivity. Therefore, the study of MOF thin films that require electron transport or conductivity in combination with the everlasting porosity is highly desirable. In the present work, thin films of Co3(NDC)3DMF4 MOFs with improved electronic conductivity are synthesized using layer-by-layer and doctor blade coating techniques followed by iodine doping. The as-prepared and doped films are characterized using FE-SEM, EDX, UV/Visible spectroscopy, XPS, current-voltage measurement, photoluminescence spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and incident photon to current efficiency measurements. In addition, the electronic and semiconductor property of the MOF films are characterized using Hall Effect measurement, which reveals that in contrast to the insulator behavior of the as-prepared MOFs, the iodine doped MOFs behave as a p-type semiconductor. This is caused by charge transfer induced hole doping into the frameworks. The observed charge transfer induced hole doping phenomenon is also confirmed by calculating the densities of states of the as-prepared and iodine doped MOFs based on density functional theory. Photoluminescence spectroscopy demonstrate an efficient interfacial charge transfer between TiO2 and iodine doped MOFs, which can be applied to harvest solar radiations.

description: Abstract Participation in Walk to School (WTS) programs has grown substantially in the US since its inception; however, no attempt has been made to systematically describe program use or factors associated with implementation of environment/policy changes. Objective Describe the characteristics of schools' WTS programs by level of implementation. Methods Representatives from 450 schools from 42 states completed a survey about their WTS program's infrastructure and activities, and perceived impact on walking to school. Level of implementation was determined from a single question to which respondents reported participation in WTS Day only (low), WTS Day and additional programs (medium), or making policy/environmental change (high). Results The final model showed number of community groups involved was positively associated with higher level of implementation (OR = 1.78, 95%CI = 1.44, 2.18), as was funding (OR = 1.56, 95%CI = 1.26, 1.92), years of participation (OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.23, 1.70), and use of a walkability assessment (OR = 3.22, 95%CI = 1.84, 5.64). Implementation level was modestly associated with increased walking (r = 0.18). Conclusion Strong community involvement, some funding, repeat participation, and environmental audits are associated with progms that adopt environmental/policy change, and seem to facilitate walking to school.

description: Ge rich ternary chalcogenide glasses (ChG) exhibit photobleaching (PB) when illuminated with bandgap light and such an effect is originating from the combined effect of intrinsic structural changes and photo-oxidation. In a sharp contradict to these previous observations, in this letter, we demonstrate for the first time that Ge rich Ge25As10Se65 ChG thin films exhibit photodarkening (PD) at 20 K and PB at 300 and 420 K for continuous illumination of ~ 3 hours. Strikingly, the temporal evolution of PD/PB show distinct characteristics at the temperatures of illumination and provide valuable information on the light induced structural changes. Further, structure specific far infrared (FIR) absorption measurements give direct evidence of different structural units involved in PD/PB at the contrasting temperatures. By comparing the lightinduced effects in vacuum and air, we conclude that intrinsic structural changes dominate over photo-oxidation in the observed PB in Ge25As10Se65 ChG thin films.

In addition to improving people’s personal well being, another positive effect is the reduction of costs for medical treatments that put a high burden on individuals and health care providers. Despite these advantages, preventive health services are still not used at a desired level. This is especially true for people with a migration background, since linguistic or cultural barriers prevent them from accessing preventive health services in their host countries. In this paper, we introduce a system which aims to break down these barriers and to give assistance to migrants.

description: We investigate the spin dynamics of the square-lattice spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet by means of an improved mean field Schwinger boson calculation. By identifying both, the long range Néel and the RVB-like components of the ground state, we propose an educated guess for the mean field triplet excitation consisting on a linear combination of local and bond spin flips to compute the dynamical structure factor. Our main result is that when this triplet excitation is optimized in such a way that the corresponding sum rule is fulfilled, we recover the low and high energy spectral weight features of the experimental spectrum. In particular, the anomalous spectral weight depletion at $(π,0)$ found in recent inelastic neutron scattering experiments can be attributed to the interference of the triplet bond excitations of the RVB component of the ground state. We conclude that the Schwinger boson theory seems to be a good candidate to adequately interpret the dynamic properties of the square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet.

description: This pre-registration describes the goals, research design, data collection process, and planned analyses after the fourth and final survey within the project Digital Competence across the Lifespan (DigCom). This project aims to get a clear view of the current state of Dutch people's (age 10 and older) digital competence, whether it changes, and which groups of people might be most vulnerable online. The planned analyses after the fourth round of the survey build on the analyses after the first, second and third round. In these previous rounds, a measure for testing digital competence (the DigIQ) was developed and shown to be reliable and valid for use among adults and children (age 10+). The goal of the analyses in this fourth pre-registration is twofold: 1) Examining the test-retest reliability of the DigIQ skills subscales. 2) To use the DigIQ to describe the digital competence of the Dutch population aged 10 and older and examine differences in digital competence between subgroups within this population.

description: Site form and maps from the Burke Property archaeological investigation conducted on Travis Air Force Base. The site consists of a scatter of ceramic sherds, bottle glass sherds, metal fragments, tractor tires, collapsed fencing, a possible well, a wind mill or water wheel, and a concentration pf bricks in a burned area which might be the remains of a burned house. A grove of Eucalyptus trees and a single apricot tree are probably the legacy of the home site occupation also.
Impact of social integration on metabolic functions: evidence from a nationally representative longitudinal study of US older adults

description: Abstract Background Metabolic functions may operate as important biophysiological mechanisms through which social relationships affect health. It is unclear how social embeddedness or the lack thereof is related to risk of metabolic dysregulation. To fill this gap we tested the effects of social integration on metabolic functions over time in a nationally representative sample of older adults in the United States and examined population heterogeneity in the effects. Methods Using longitudinal data from 4,323 adults aged over 50 years in the Health and Retirement Study and latent growth curve models, we estimated the trajectories of social integration spanning five waves, 1998–2006, in relation to biomarkers of energy metabolism in 2006. We assessed social integration using a summary index of the number of social ties across five domains. We examined six biomarkers, including total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, waist circumference, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and the summary index of the overall burden of metabolic dysregulation. Results High social integration predicted significantly lower risks of both individual and overall metabolic dysregulation. Specifically, adjusting for age, sex, race, and body mass index, having four to five social ties reduced the risks of abdominal obesity by 61% (odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval {CI}] = 0.39 [0.23, 0.67], p = .007), hypertension by 41% (OR [95% CI] = 0.59 [0.42, 0.84], p = .021), and the overall metabolic dysregulation by 46% (OR [95% CI] = 0.54 [0.40, 0.72], p < .001). The OR for the overall burden remained significant when adjusting for social, behavioral, and illness factors. In addition, stably high social integration had more potent metabolic impacts over time than changes therein. Such effects were consistent across subpopulations and more salient for the younger old (those under age 65), males, whites, and the socioeconomically disadvantaged. Conclusions This study addressed important challenges in previous research linking social integration to metabolic health by clarifying the nature and direction of the relationship as it applies to different objectively measured markers and population subgroups. It suggests additional psychosocial and biological pathways to consider in future research on the contributions of social deficits to disease etiology and old-age mortality.
Gene selection for cancer classification using a hybrid of univariate and multivariate feature selection methods

description: Various approaches to gene selection for cancer classification based on microarray data can be found in the literature and they may be grouped into two categories: univariate methods and multivariate methods. Univariate methods look at each gene in the data in isolation from others. They measure the contribution of a particular gene to the classification without considering the presence of the other genes. In contrast, multivariate methods measure the relative contribution of a gene to the classification by taking the other genes in the data into consideration. Multivariate methods select fewer genes in general. However, the selection process of multivariate methods may be sensitive to the presence of irrelevant genes, noises in the expression and outliers in the training data. At the same time, the computational cost of multivariate methods is high. To overcome the disadvantages of the two types of approaches, we propose a hybrid method to obtain gene sets that are small and highly discriminative. We devise our hybrid method from the univariate Maximum Likelihood method (LIK) and the multivariate Recursive Feature Elimination method (RFE). We analyze the properties of these methods and systematically test the effectiveness of our proposed method on two cancer microarray datasets. Our experiments on a leukemia dataset and a small, round blue cell tumors dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our hybrid method. It is able to discover sets consisting of fewer genes than those reported in the literature and at the same time achieve the same or better prediction accuracy.

The vertebrate taxonomy ontology: a framework for reasoning across model organism and species phenotypes
Creators: name: Balhoff, James P

Year: 2013

description: Abstract Background A hierarchical taxonomy of organisms is a prerequisite for semantic integration of biodiversity data. Ideally, there would be a single, expansive, authoritative taxonomy that includes extinct and extant taxa, information on synonyms and common names, and monophyletic supraspecific taxa that reflect our current understanding of phylogenetic relationships. Description As a step towards development of such a resource, and to enable large-scale integration of phenotypic data across vertebrates, we created the Vertebrate Taxonomy Ontology (VTO), a semantically defined taxonomic resource derived from the integration of existing taxonomic compilations, and freely distributed under a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) public domain waiver. The VTO includes both extant and extinct vertebrates and currently contains 106,947 taxonomic terms, 22 taxonomic ranks, 104,736 synonyms, and 162,400 cross-references to other taxonomic resources. Key challenges in constructing the VTO included (1) extracting and merging names, synonyms, and identifiers from heterogeneous sources; (2) structuring hierarchies of terms based on evolutionary relationships and the principle of monophyly; and (3) automating this process as much as possible to accommodate updates in source taxonomies. Conclusions The VTO is the primary source of taxonomic information used by the Phenoscape Knowledgebase (http://phenoscape.org/), which integrates genetic and evolutionary phenotype data across both model and non-model vertebrates. The VTO is useful for inferring phenotypic changes on the vertebrate tree of life, which enables queries for candidate genes for various episodes in vertebrate evolution.
