description: We present the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD and NLO electroweak (EW) corrections to the $W$-boson pair production associated with a hard jet at the LHC including the spin correlated $W$-boson leptonic decays. The dependence of the leading order (LO) and NLO corrected cross sections on the jet transverse momentum cut is investigated. In dealing with the subsequent resonant $W$-boson decays, we adopt the {\sc MadSpin} method where the spin correlation effect is included. We also provide the LO and NLO corrected distributions of the transverse momenta and rapidities of final products. The results show that the NLO EW correction is significant in high transverse momentum region due to the EW Sudakov effect.

description: In many of the high-precision optical frequency standards with trapped atoms or ions that are under development to date, the AC Stark shift induced by thermal radiation leads to a major contribution to the systematic uncertainty. We present an analysis of the inhomogeneous thermal environment experienced by ions in various types of ion traps. Finite element models which allow the determination of the temperature of the trap structure and the temperature of the radiation were developed for 5 ion trap designs, including operational traps at PTB and NPL and further optimized designs. Models were refined based on comparison with infrared camera measurement until an agreement of better than 10% of the measured temperature rise at critical test points was reached. The effective temperature rises of the radiation seen by the ion range from 0.8 K to 2.1 K at standard working conditions. The corresponding fractional frequency shift uncertainties resulting from the uncertainty in temperature are in the 10-18 range for optical clocks based on the Sr+ and Yb+ E2 transitions, and even lower for Yb+ E3, In+ and Al+. Issues critical for heating of the trap structure and its predictability were identified and design recommendations developed.

description: Social metaverse is a shared digital space combining a series of interconnected virtual worlds for users to play, shop, work, and socialize. In parallel with the advances of artificial intelligence (AI) and growing awareness of data privacy concerns, federated learning (FL) is promoted as a paradigm shift towards privacy-preserving AI-empowered social metaverse. However, challenges including privacy-utility tradeoff, learning reliability, and AI model thefts hinder the deployment of FL in real metaverse applications. In this paper, we exploit the pervasive social ties among users/avatars to advance a social-aware hierarchical FL framework, i.e., SocialFL for a better privacy-utility tradeoff in the social metaverse. Then, an aggregator-free robust FL mechanism based on blockchain is devised with a new block structure and an improved consensus protocol featured with on/off-chain collaboration. Furthermore, based on smart contracts and digital watermarks, an automatic federated AI (FedAI) model ownership provenance mechanism is designed to prevent AI model thefts and collusive avatars in social metaverse. Experimental findings validate the feasibility and effectiveness of proposed framework. Finally, we envision promising future research directions in this emerging area.

description: In the years when Emilio Sereni published his “History of italian agricultural landscape”, our country faced maximum intensity of its settlements growth. The specific organization of Italian plains would have soon disappeared forever. The last image of that world has been fixed in GAI aerial survey frames, recently available as a powerful tool for evaluation of landscape changes. Observation of that document disorients for the exceptional degree of alteration; at the same time, however, it should encourage the development of specific technical skills to judge, from time to time, appropriateness, meaning and convenience of transformations.

Our analysis is based on the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which we solve numerically exact on a three-dimensional grid. We present stability and phase diagrams, and study the expansion dynamics of dipolar condensates. Our calculations show signatures of the dipole-dipole interaction in terms of structured states and a deviation of the well-known inversion of the aspect ratio of the cloud during a time of flight.

description: In the firsts decades of the last century, the plain of Foggia was invested by an important intervention of landed property transformation that, on the one hand proposed a significant land reclamation of the Tavoliere delle Puglie and on the other hand, an intense urban activity for the construction of new rural settlements: the suburbs of the Foggia city. This settlement and development policy for the rural centers still characterizes the agrarian landscape in the plain of Foggia today, where it is possible to find vast public properties: large estates, water networks, scattered dwellings, complete suburbs and evocative functionalist architectures. The project proposes a strategy to give value to the local rural landscape and its immense public estate, generating new forms of development that could answer the needs of a “new rurban society”, respecting the identity features of the agrarian reform landscape.

description: Atomistic computer simulations are applied to investigate the atomic structure, thermal stability, and diffusion processes in Al-Si interphase boundaries as a prototype of metal-ceramic interfaces in composite materials. Some of the most stable orientation relationships between the phases found in this work were previously observed in epitaxy experiments. A non-equilibrium interface can transform to a more stable state by a mechanism that we call interface-induced recrystallization. Diffusion of both Al and Si atoms in stable Al-Si interfaces is surprisingly slow compared with diffusion of both elements in Al grain boundaries but can be accelerated in the presence of interface disconnections. A qualitative explanation of the sluggish interphase boundary diffusion is proposed. Atomic mechanisms of interphase boundary diffusion are similar to those in metallic grain boundaries and are dominated by correlated atomic rearrangements in the form of strings and rings of collectively moving atoms.

description: We perform direct large molecular dynamics simulations of homogeneous SPC/E water nucleation, using up to $\sim 4\cdot 10^6$ molecules. Our large system sizes allow us to measure extremely low and accurate nucleation rates, down to $\sim 10^{19}\,\textrm{cm}^{-3}\textrm{s}^{-1}$, helping close the gap between experimentally measured rates $\sim 10^{17}\,\textrm{cm}^{-3}\textrm{s}^{-1}$. We are also able to precisely measure size distributions, sticking efficiencies, cluster temperatures, and cluster internal densities. We introduce a new functional form to implement the Yasuoka-Matsumoto nucleation rate measurement technique (threshold method). Comparison to nucleation models shows that classical nucleation theory over-estimates nucleation rates by a few orders of magnitude. The semi-phenomenological nucleation model does better, under-predicting rates by at worst, a factor of 24. Unlike what has been observed in Lennard-Jones simulations, post-critical clusters have temperatures consistent with the run average temperature. Also, we observe that post-critical clusters have densities very slightly higher, $\sim 5\%$, than bulk liquid. We re-calibrate a Hale-type $J$ vs. $S$ scaling relation using both experimental and simulation data, finding remarkable consistency in over $30$ orders of magnitude in the nucleation rate range, and $180\,$K in the temperature range.

description: Recently, much attention has been paid to second-order photonic topological insulators (SPTIs), because of their support for highly localized corner states with excellent robustness. SPTIs have been implemented in either transverse magnetic (TM) or transverse electric (TE) polarizations in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PCs), and the resultant topological corner states are polarization-dependent, which limits their application in polarization-independent optics. However, to achieve polarization-independent corner states is not easy, since they are usually in-gap and the exact location in the topological bandgap is not known in advance. Here, we report on a SPTI based on a 2D square-lattice PC made of an elliptic metamaterial, and whether the bandgap is topological or trivial depends on the choice of the unit cell. It is found that locations of topological bandgaps of TM and TE polarizations in the frequency spectrum can be independently controlled by the out-of-plane permittivity $\varepsilon_\perp$ and in-plane permittivity $\varepsilon_{\varparallel}$, respectively, and more importantly, the location of in-gap corner states can also be separately manipulated by them. From this, we achieve topological corner states for both TM and TE polarizations with the same frequency in the PC by adjusting $\varepsilon_\perp$ and $\varepsilon_\varparallel$, and their robustness against disorders and defects are numerically demonstrated. The proposed SPTI provides a potential application scenario for polarization-independent topological photonic devices.
DOES THE GUT MICROBIOTA INFLUENCE THE IMMUNE RESPONSE TO INFLUENZA VACCINATION IN OBESE POPULATIONS?
Creators: name: Adams-Mardi, Cyrus Paul
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: In the United States and globally, rates of obesity have greatly increased and prevalence is continuing to grow. As of 2014, 35.0% of adult males and 40.4% of adult females in the U.S. were obese, according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).1 Previous research in the Beck lab has demonstrated that vaccinated obese individuals have twice the likelihood of developing influenza or “flu-like-illness” when compared to healthy weight individuals, despite antibody levels above the threshold of protection.2 This is concerning because the influenza vaccination is the single most effective method of protection. What is not understood is the mechanisms underlying this difference in obese individuals. Previous work in the Beck Lab has found that antibody response is not significantly different between obese and lean individuals 30 days post vaccination, but falters between that time and one-year post vaccination. We have also found that there is a difference in the metabolism and function of T cells in the response to the influenza vaccination. With the goal of discovering new research directions that might aid in the discovery of molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, I conducted a study using a bioinformatics approach to analyze the gut microbiota as a potential mediator. Strong preliminary evidence was found linking BMI, Firmicutes, and the antibody response to the 2014-2015 TIV immunization.

description: Resonant tunnelling is a quantum mechanical process that has long been attracting both scientific and technological attention owing to its intriguing underlying physics and unique applications for high-speed electronics. The materials system exhibiting resonant tunnelling, however, has been largely limited to the conventional semiconductors, partially due to their excellent crystalline quality. Here we show that a deliberately designed transition metal oxide superlattice exhibits a resonant tunnelling behaviour with a clear negative differential resistance. The tunnelling occurred through an atomically thin, lanthanum δ-doped SrTiO3 layer, and the negative differential resistance was realized on top of the bipolar resistance switching typically observed for perovskite oxide junctions. This combined process resulted in an extremely large resistance ratio (~10^5) between the high and low-resistance states. The unprecedentedly large control found in atomically thin δ-doped oxide superlattices can open a door to novel oxide-based high-frequency logic devices.

Art, People, and Color in the Musée national Fernand Léger
Creators: name: Zhou, Weixin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: The Musée national Fernand Léger at Biot was commissioned in 1957 by Léger’s widow Nadia Léger and his associate Georges Bauquier to honor the artist’s accomplishments and to realize his dream of bringing art to the people. The museum, as revealed by its architectural decorations, was imbued with multiple and even contrasting narratives: it echoed Léger’s call for democratizing art on the one hand, and on the other hand, it served the privileged class. The decorative program, executed based on Léger’s late works and unrealized designs, incorporated the artist’s ideas about art in relation to the people, and his critique of the cultural condition in France after World War II. As an extension of Léger’s oeuvre, the decorative program also manifested Léger’s search for a new pictorial language both from and for the people. Nationalized between 1967 and 1969, the museum became part of the discourse of post-war cultural politics. The decorations, representing the afterlife of Léger’s works, attest to the contention of culture and power that was prevalent in art museums and cultural institutions at that time.

description: In the last few years the concept of an active space telescope has been greatly developed, to meet demanding requirements with a substantial reduction of tolerances, risks and costs. This is the frame of the LATT project (an ESA TRP) and its follow-up SPLATT (an INAF funded R&D project). Within the SPLATT activities, we outline a novel approach and investigate, both via simulations and in the optical laboratory, two main elements: an active segmented primary with contactless actuators and a pyramid wavefront sensor (PWFS) to drive the correction chain. The key point is the synergy between them: the sensitivity of the PWFS and the intrinsic stability of a contactless-actuated mirror segment. Voice-coil, contactless actuators are in facts a natural decoupling layer between the payload and the optical surface and can suppress the high frequency vibration as we verified in the lab. We subjected a 40 cm diameter prototype with 19 actuators to an externally injected vibration spectrum; we then measured optically the reduction of vibrations when the optical surface is floating controlled by the actuators, thus validating the concept at the first stage of the design. The PWFS, which is largely adopted on ground-based telescope, is a pupil-conjugated sensor and offers a user-selectable sampling and capture range, in order to match different use cases; it is also more sensitive than Shack-Hartmann sensor especially at the low-mid spatial scales. We run a set of numerical simulations with the PWFS measuring the misalignment and phase steps of a JWST-like primary mirrors: we investigated the PWFS sensitivity in the sub-nanometer regime in presence of photon and detector noise, and with guide star magnitudes in the range 8 to 14. In the paper we discuss the outcomes of the project and present a possible roadmap for further developments.

description: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common chronic disease with worldwide prevalence of 10% to 79%, with costs ranging from $560 to $635 billion for year in United States of America. The main guidelines recommend interventions with undesirable adverse events (AE) or highly dependent on the patient's persistence. Thus, intra-articular (IA) therapies appear to be attractive in patients with KOA, as well as a valid therapy by maximizing effects locally in the joint and limiting systemic AE. Presently, the main available IA therapies are corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid. As several meta-analyses about the efficacy of intra-articular hyaluronic acid (IAHA) for treatment of KOA with discordant results were published, we decided to conduct an umbrella review to summarize this efficacy
Implementation of chiral two-nucleon forces to nuclear many-body methods with Gaussian-wave packets

description: Many-body methods that use Gaussian-wave packets to describe nucleon-spatial distribution have been widely employed for depicting various phenomena in nuclear systems, in particular clustering. So far, however, the chiral effective field theory, a state-of-the-art theory of nuclear force, has not been applied to such methods. In this paper, we give the formalism to calculate the two-body matrix elements of the chiral two-nucleon forces using the Gaussian-wave packets. We also visualize the matrix elements and investigate the contributions of the central and tensor forces. This work is a foothold towards an \textit{ab initio} description of various cluster phenomena in view of nucleons, pions, and many-nucleon forces.

description: Over the last decade, a growing interest of the landscape design debate on transportation infrastructures planning and design can be detected. While other issues, as major railway stations and streets have been widely considered, the ordinary transit stops are still considered from a technical point of view, and their function, value and potentialities in shaping the urban landscape are largely underestimated. Assuming the liveability of transit stops as an expression of the synergistic union of functional aspects with a balanced insertion into the urban context, that in its turn produces an influence on the quality of the urban landscape and on modal choice, the article focuses on some design proposals and realised projects.

description: There is an ambiguity in how to apply the replica trick to spin glass models which have additional order parameters unrelated to spin glass order -- with respect to which quantities does one minimize vs maximize the action, and in what sequence? Here we show that the correct procedure is to first maximize with respect to "replica" order parameters, and then minimize with respect to "conventional" order parameters. With this result, we further elucidate the relationship between quenched free energies, annealed free energies, and replica order -- it is possible for the quenched and annealed free energies to differ even while all replica order parameters remain zero.

description: We use the spherical collapse method to investigate the non-linear density perturbations of pressureless matter in the cosmological models with the extended quintessence as dark energy in the metric and Palatini formalisms. We find that for both formalisms, when the coupling constant is negative, the deviation from the $Λ$CDM model is the least according to the evolutionary curves of the linear density contrast $δ_{c}$ and virial overdensity $Δ_{v}$, and it is less than one percent. And this indicates that, in the extended quintessence cosmological models in which the coupling constant is negative, all quantities dependent on $δ_{c}$ or $Δ_{v}$ are essentially unaffected if the linear density contrast or the virial overdensity of the $Λ$CDM model is used as an approximation. Moreover, we find that the differences between different formalisms are very small in terms of structure formation, and thus can not be used to distinguish the metric and Palatini formalisms.

Searches for lepton-flavour-violating decays of the Higgs boson into $eτ$ and $μτ$ in $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV $pp$ collisions with the ATLAS detector

description: This paper presents direct searches for lepton flavour violation in Higgs boson decays, $H\rightarrow eτ$ and $H\rightarrowμτ$, performed using data collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The searches are based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. Leptonic ($τ\rightarrow \ell ν_\ell ν_τ$) and hadronic ($τ\rightarrow $ hadrons $ ν_τ$) decays of the $τ$-lepton are considered. Two background estimation techniques are employed: the MC-template method, based on data-corrected simulation samples, and the Symmetry method, based on exploiting the symmetry between electrons and muons in the Standard Model backgrounds. No significant excess of events is observed and the results are interpreted as upper limits on lepton-flavour-violating branching ratios of the Higgs boson. The observed (expected) upper limits set on the branching ratios at 95% confidence level, $\mathcal{B}(H\rightarrow eτ)<0.20\%$ (0.12%) and $\mathcal{B}(H\rightarrow μτ)<0.18\%$ (0.09%), are obtained with the MC-template method from a simultaneous measurement of potential $H \rightarrow eτ$ and $H \rightarrowμτ$ signals. The best-fit branching ratio difference, $\mathcal{B}(H\rightarrow μτ)- \mathcal{B}(H\rightarrow eτ)$, measured with the Symmetry method in the channel where the $τ$-lepton decays to leptons, is (0.25 $\pm$ 0.10)%, compatible with a value of zero within 2.5$σ$.

Synchronization of ad hoc Clock Networks

Subjects: subject: Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing (cs.DC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We introduce a graph-theoretic approach to synchronizing clocks in an {\em ad hoc} network of $N$~timepieces. Clocks naturally drift away from being synchronized because of many physical factors. The manual way of clock synchronization suffers from an inherrent propagation of the so called "clock drift" due to "word-of-mouth effect." The current standard way of automated clock synchronization is either via radio band transmission of the global clock or via the software-based Network Time Protocol (NTP). Synchronization via radio band transmission suffers from the wave transmission delay, while the client-server-based NTP does not scale to increased number of clients as well as to unforeseen server overload conditions (e.g., flash crowd and time-of-day effects). Further, the trivial running time of NTP for synchronizing an $N$-node network, where each node is a clock and the NTP server follows a single-port communication model, is~$\bigO(N)$. We introduce in this paper a $\bigO(\log N)$ time for synchronizing the clocks in exchange for an increase of $\bigO(N)$ in space complexity, though through creative "tweaking," we later reduced the space requirement to~$\bigO(1)$. Our graph-theoretic protocol assumes that the network is $\K_N$, while the subset of clocks are in an embedded circulant graph $\C_{n

description: Let $G$ be a semi-simple algebraic group over a perfect field $k$. A lot of progress has been made recently in computing the Chow motives of projective $G$-homogenous varieties. When $k$ has positive characteristic, a broader class of $G$-homogeneous varieties appear. These are varieties over which $G$ acts transitively with possibly non-reduced isotropy subgroup. In this paper we study these varieties which we call ${\it \mbox{projective pseudo-homogeneous varieties}}$ for $G$ inner type over $k$ and prove that their motives satisfy Rost nilpotence. We also find their motivic decompositions and relate them to the motives of corresponding homogeneous varieties.

description: We compute the full vacuum polarization tensor in the fermion sector of Lorentz-violating QED. Even if we assume momentum routing invariance of the Feynman diagrams, it is not possible to fix all surface terms and find an unambiguity free vacuum polarization tensor. The high and low energy limits of this tensor is presented. In the high energy limit, only $c_{μν}$ coeffcients contribute. In the low energy limit, we fnd that Lorentz-violating induced terms depend only on $b_μ$, $c_{μν}$ and $g_{μνλ}$ coeffcients and they are suppressed by powers of $\frac{p^{2}}{m^{2}}$. This limit allows to obtain implications for condensed matter systems, explicitly, for the Hall effect in Weyl semimetals.

description: In this work we review the role of hyperons on the properties of neutron and proto-neutron stars. In particular, we revise the so-called "hyperon puzzle", go over some of the solutions proposed to tackle it, and discuss the implications that the recent measurements of unusually high neutron star masses have on our present knowledge of hypernuclear physics. We reexamine also the role of hyperons on the cooling properties of newly born neutron stars and on the so-called r-mode instability.

G5 Sahel External Influence Comparison: the European Union, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia
Creators: name: Miller, Michelle Angeline
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: The five West African states making up the G5 Sahel rely on foreign contributions to support the nascent regional organization. In February 2018, the European Union (EU) and Saudi Arabia were the top contributors to the G5, each pledging 100 million euros. The investment from the EU builds upon previous agreements and missions for regional development and security. The equal contribution from Saudi Arabia is unprecedented. The partnership with the Sahel G5 emerged about the same time as another Saudi Arabian initiative, the Islamic Military Counter-Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC). The IMCTC serves as the construct for the G5 Sahel partnership. Another relevant actor and investor with the IMCTC is the United Arab Emirates, contributing 30 million euros to the G5, and backing Saudi regional plans. The emergence of a new regional power acting in the Sahel motivated a comparison study with the EU. The research question will answer which external partner(s), the European Union, or SA with the UAE, is more influential over the political, economic and security goals and activities of the G5 Sahel.  To determine the effect of EU, Saudi and UAE investment in the G5 Sahel this thesis will include a review of the respective partnerships and the comparison of a series of indicators to determine which partner, and to what extent they influence the region.
La cartografia dell’uso e copertura del suolo: uno strumento per rilevare il cambiamento del territorio lombardo

Year: 2015

description: At the beginning of the 2000’s Regione Lombardia and ERSAF began a cartographic survey program addressing small-scale land cover and usage. First it was necessary to have detailed geographic databases of the entire region available and then to monitor the developmental changes of the region. The information layers that were products consisted of polygonal features (usage and land cover) and linear features (hedges and rows). The thematic map construction was prevalently carried out by photo-interpretation of aerial images. The adopted classification was divided into five hierarchical levels where the first three consisted of classes of CORINE Land Cover. The need to represent some local peculiarities has led to the introduction of two additional levels (IV and V), which describe the characteristic features of the Lombardy region. During the past years the program has become well established and has led to the creation of the layers relative to five di erent historical moments: 1954/1955, 1980 (data of less detail), 1999, 2007, and 2012.

Assessment of Men Involvement on Family Planning In Rural Communities of Jeldu Woreda, West Shewa Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Fufa Daba
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: Background: In order to slow the current rapid population growth particularly in less developed countries, family planning programs have always been considered as the intervention of choice. These programs, however, are seen to give little attention to the roles that could be played by men regarding family planning. Different studies focus mostly on the role that is played by women neglecting those of men. As a consequence, there is shortage of information on factors which prevent men to be involved on family planning in Ethiopia. Objective: To assess the role of currently married men in family planning utilization in rural communities of Jeldu Woreda, West Shoa Zone Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a total of 804 currently married men in the age group of 15-59 years. A total of 6 kebeles were selected from 38 rural kebeles of the Woreda using simple random sampling method. Study households were selected from each kebeles through systematic random sampling. A pre-tested, structured questionnaire was used for data collection.
Evolution, nucleosynthesis and yields of AGB stars at different metallicities (III): intermediate mass models, revised low mass models and the ph-FRUITY interface

description: We present a new set of models for intermediate mass AGB stars (4.0, 5.0 and, 6.0 Msun) at different metallicities (-2.15<=Fe/H]<=+0.15). This integrates the existing set of models for low mass AGB stars (1.3<=M/M<=3.0) already included in the FRUITY database. We describe the physical and chemical evolution of the computed models from the Main Sequence up to the end of the AGB phase. Due to less efficient third dredge up episodes, models with large core masses show modest surface enhancements. The latter is due to the fact that the interpulse phases are short and, then, Thermal Pulses are weak. Moreover, the high temperature at the base of the convective envelope prevents it to deeply penetrate the radiative underlying layers. Depending on the initial stellar mass, the heavy elements nucleosynthesis is dominated by different neutron sources. In particular, the s-process distributions of the more massive models are dominated by the \nean~reaction, which is efficiently activated during Thermal Pulses. At low metallicities, our models undergo hot bottom burning and hot third dredge up. We compare our theoretical final core masses to available white dwarf observations. Moreover, we quantify the weight that intermediate mass models have on the carbon stars luminosity function. Finally, we present the upgrade of the FRUITY web interface, now also including the physical quantities of the TP-AGB phase of all the models included in the database (ph-FRUITY).

The Missing Mass Problem as a Manifestation of GR Contextuality

description: In Newtonian gravity, mass is an intrinsic property of matter while in general relativity (GR), mass is a contextual property of matter, i.e., matter can simultaneously possess two different values of mass when it is responsible for two different spatiotemporal geometries. Herein, we explore the possibility that the astrophysical missing mass attributed to non-baryonic dark matter (DM) actually obtains because we have been assuming the Newtonian view of mass rather than the GR view. Since an exact GR solution for realistic astrophysical situations is not feasible, we explore GR-motivated ansatzes relating proper mass and dynamic mass for one and the same baryonic matter, as justified by GR contextuality. We consider four GR alternatives and find that the GR ansatz motivated by metric perturbation theory works well in fitting galactic rotation curves (THINGS data), the mass profiles of X-ray clusters (ROSAT and ASCA data) and the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB, Planck 2015 data) without DM. We compare our galactic rotation curve fits to modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND), Burkett halo DM and Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) halo DM. We compare our X-ray cluster mass profile fits to metric skew-tensor gravity (MSTG) and core-modified NFW DM. We compare our CMB angular power spectrum fit to scalar-tensor-vector gravity (STVG) and $Λ$CDM. Overall, we find our fits to be comparable to those of MOND, MSTG, STVG, $Λ$CDM, Burkett, and NFW. We present and discuss correlations and trends for the best fit values of our fitting parameters. For the most part, the correlations are consistent with well-established results at all scales, which is perhaps surprising given the simple functional form of the GR ansatz.
