description: Motivated by the search for new gravity duals to M2 branes with $N>4$ supersymmetry --- equivalently, M-theory backgrounds with Killing superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(N|4)$ for $N>4$ --- we classify homogeneous M-theory backgrounds with symmetry Lie algebra $\mathfrak{so}(n) \oplus \mathfrak{so}(3,2)$ for $n=5,6,7$. We find that there are no new backgrounds with $n=6,7$ but we do find a number of new (to us) backgrounds with $n=5$. All backgrounds are metrically products of the form $\operatorname{AdS}_4 \times P^7$, with $P$ riemannian and homogeneous under the action of $\operatorname{SO}(5)$, or $S^4 \times Q^7$ with $Q$ lorentzian and homogeneous under the action of $\operatorname{SO}(3,2)$. At least one of the new backgrounds is supersymmetric (albeit with only $N=2$) and we show that it can be constructed from a supersymmetric Freund--Rubin background via a Wick rotation. Two of the new backgrounds have only been approximated numerically. (The second version of this paper includes an appendix by Alexander~S.~Haupt, closing a gap in our original analysis.)

Phosphorus Dynamics in The Epilimnion of B. Everett Jordan Lake
Creators: name: Belensz, Alan J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1985

description: Gross uptake rates of filterable reactive phosphorus were measured in surface waters of B. Everett Jordan Lake from December 1983 to January 1985. In conjunction, laboratory experiments examining the phosphorus adsorption/desorption potential of suspended sediments and bioavailability of suspended sediment-bound phosphorus were performed on suspended sediments obtained from the Haw River, the major tributary of Jordan Lake, during five periods of high flow from January 1985 to May 1985. Phosphorus uptake rates were highly variable, ranging from 0.007 to 9.78 ug P 1[-1] h[-1]. The highest uptake rates were measured during the warm months in the New Hope Creek basin of the lake when filterable reactive phosphorus concentrations were low and algal biomass high, which when combined with high nitrogen to phosphorus ratios, indicate conditions of potential phosphorus limitation. Lower uptake rates were measured throughout the study in the Haw River basin of the lake and during the winter months in the New Hope Creek basin. Biotic uptake, which comprised most of the uptake during the warm months, was dominated by uptake in the small size fraction (< 8.0 um). Abiotic uptake often comprised the majority of the total uptake in the winter months. Sampling sites near tributary inputs, especially in the Haw River arm, had the highest rates of abiotic uptake due to large inputs of suspended sediments during periods of high stream flow. Sorption isotherms of suspended sediments obtained from the Haw River exhibited equilibrium phosphorus concentrations significantly below ambient stream filterable reactive phosphorus concentrations, indicating that the sediments were likely acting as a sink for soluble phosphorus present in the stream. Algae grown with suspended sediment-bound phosphorus under conditions otherwise optimal for growth were able to utilize a relatively small amount (mean = ll.3%) of the sediment-bound phosphorus. Potential impacts of these results on lake management were discussed.
Reduced bispectrum seeded by helical primordial magnetic fields

description: In this paper, we investigate the effects of helical primordial magnetic fields (PMFs) on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) reduced bispectrum. We derive the full three-point statistics of helical magnetic fields and numerically calculate the even contribution in the collinear configuration. We then numerically compute the CMB reduced bispectrum induced by passive and compensated PMF modes on large angular scales. There is a negative signal on the bispectrum due to the helical terms of the fields and we also observe that the biggest contribution to the bispectrum comes from the non-zero IR cut-off for causal fields, unlike the two-point correlation case. For negative spectral indices, the reduced bispectrum is enhanced by the passive modes. This gives a lower value of the upper limit for the mean amplitude of the magnetic field on a given characteristic scale. However, high values of IR cut-off in the bispectrum, and the helical terms of the magnetic field relaxes this bound. This demonstrates the importance of the IR cut-off and helicity in the study of the nature of PMFs from CMB observations.

description: The Bershadsky-Polyakov algebra is the $\mathcal{W}$-algebra associated to $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_3$ with its minimal nilpotent element $f_θ$. For notational convenience we define $\mathcal{W}^{\ell} = \mathcal{W}^{\ell - 3/2} (\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_3, f_θ)$. The simple quotient of $\mathcal{W}^{\ell}$ is denoted by $\mathcal{W}_{\ell}$, and for $\ell$ a positive integer, $\mathcal{W}_{\ell}$ is known to be $C_2$-cofinite and rational. We prove that for all positive integers $\ell$, $\mathcal{W}_{\ell}$ contains a rank one lattice vertex algebra $V_L$, and that the coset $\mathcal{C}_{\ell} = \text{Com}(V_L, \mathcal{W}_{\ell})$ is isomorphic to the principal, rational $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_{2\ell})$-algebra at level $(2\ell +3)/(2\ell +1) -2\ell$. This was conjectured in the physics literature over 20 years ago. As a byproduct, we construct a new family of rational, $C_2$-cofinite vertex superalgebras from $\mathcal{W}_{\ell}$

A Collocation Study of PM-10 and PM-2.5 Inertial Impactors for Indoor Aerosol Exposure Assessment
Creators: name: Anderson, Robert B.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: Two different designs of PM-10 and PM-2.5 micron aerodynamic cut size impaction inlets have been developed for the characterization of human exposure to inhalable particulate matter in the indoor environment. The present research provides initial characterization for the free¬ standing Micro-Environmental Monitor (MEM) and the shirt collar-mounted Personal Exposure Monitor (PEM). Triplicates of the PM-10 and PM-2.5 MEM and PEM inlets were collocated with three Andersen dichotomous samplers and exposed to a homogeneous aerosol of fine AC Test Dust. Results indicated that the PM-2.5 and PM-10 MEM and the PM-2.5 PEM samplers compared well to the dichotomous sampler averaging 6.4%, 7.5% and 5.2% greater mass concentrations respectively. The PM-10 PEM, however, consistently over sampled averaging greater than 30% higher mass concentrations relative to the dichotomous sampler.

description: We study collective amplitude modes of the superconducting order parameter in strongly-coupled electron-phonon systems described by the Holstein model using the nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory with the self-consistent Migdal approximation as an impurity solver. The frequency of the Higgs amplitude mode is found to coincide with the superconducting gap even in the strongly-coupled (beyond BCS) regime. Besides the Higgs mode, we unravel another collective mode involving the dynamics of both the phonons and the superconducting order parameter. The frequency of this mode, higher than twice the renormalized phonon frequency in the superconducting phase, is shown to reflect a strong electron-mediated phonon-phonon interaction. Both types of collective excitations contribute to time-resolved photoemission spectra after a strong laser pump as vertex corrections to produce resonance peaks, which allows one to distinguish them from quasiparticle excitations.

description: Eine besondere mediale Aufmerksamkeit erfahren in den letzten Jahren jugendliche Straftäterinnen. Die Schlagzeilen berichten über immer mehr Kriminalität durch Mädchen insbesondere über Mädchen, die gewalttätig sind. Im Unterschied zu prügelnden Jungen entrüsten prügelnde Mädchen augenscheinlich in besonderem Maße; ein Pressemedium fragt entsprechend: „Was ist aus dem braven Geschlecht geworden?“. Derlei Meldungen über bedenkliche Entwicklungen bei jungen Menschen mündeten bereits vor einigen Jahren in die Forderung an die (Kriminal-)Politik nach raschen Maßnahmen, z. B. in Form der Verschärfung des Jugendstrafrechts. Die kriminologische Forschung jedoch widmete sich zunächst einer genauen Analyse des Phänomens und kam zu Ergebnissen, die das Ausmaß der (vermeintlichen) Problematik „Jugendkriminalität“ überwiegend relativierten.

We also find explicit algebraic invariants that determine the stable classification for spin manifolds in this class.

description: We study the secular dynamics of compact binaries (consisting of white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes) with tertiary companions in hierarchical triple systems. As the inner binary (with initially negligible eccentricity) undergoes orbital decay due to gravitational radiation, its eccentricity can be excited by gravitational forcing from the tertiary. This excitation occurs when the triple system passes through an "apsidal precession resonance", when the precession rate of the inner binary, driven by the gravitational perturbation of the external companion and general relativity, matches the precession rate of the outer binary. The eccentricity excitation requires the outer companion to be on an eccentric orbit, with the mutual inclination between the inner and outer orbits less than $\sim 40^\circ$. Gravitational wave (GW) signals from the inner binary can be significantly modified as the system evolves through the apsidal precession resonance. For some system parameters (e.g., a white dwarf binary with a brown dwarf tertiary), the resonance can happen when the binary emits GWs in the $10^{-4}-10^{-1}$~Hz range (the sensitivity band of LISA).

description: With the increase of physical antenna and subcarrier numbers in MIMO-OFDM systems, channel side information feedback amount and signal precoding complexity overburden will consume much more system resource, even become intolerable. To solve this problem, previous works mainly focused on fixed subcarrier grouping size and precoded MIMO signals in the same group with unitary channel state information (CSI). It could reduce the system overburden, but such a process would lead to system capacity loss due to the channel mismatch in precoding procedure. In this paper, we consider a MIMOOFDM system over double-selective i.i.d. Rayleigh channels and investigate the quantitative relation between group size and capacity loss theoretically. By exploiting our developed theoretical results, we also propose an adaptive subcarrier grouping algorithm, which not only enables to have a good control of system service quality but also to reduce system overburden significantly. Numerical results are shown to provide valuable insights on the system design of MIMO-OFDM systems and indicate that the proposed subcarrier grouping scheme is extremely efficient in some common scenarios.

description: Over the past two decades, holistic and systemic approaches to second language development have begun to draw the attention of scholars in the field of SLA. These studies are primarily informed by complexity theory, which emerged from the general systems theory. General systems theory, however, has another important theoretical offshoot in social sciences, namely autopoietic systems theory. An investigation of conceptual tools drawn from the latter theory has been absent in the field of second language education. This paper seeks to explore how systemic thinking has improved the field’s understanding of the complexity of the L2 development. It then explores the possibilities for incorporating autopoietic systems theory into complexity thinking to better understand the dynamics of L2 development at personal and social levels. Finally, it will highlight two insights from a systemic analysis of language development in L2 classroom groupings. These insights build on each other to describe L2 development from a systemic perspective. By exploring and bringing together these theoretical perspectives, this paper hopes to shed light on how complexity theory can provide a systemic description of L2 development.

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) genotype and risk of breast cancer: Interactions with environmental and genetic factors
Creators: name: Winkel, Scott Cameron

Year: 2005

description: Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an enzyme located within azurophilic granules of neutrophils and lysosomes of monocytes. Its primary function is to assist the innate immune system by acting as a microbicidal agent MPO activity may be associated with risk of breast cancer due to its ability to produce reactive oxygen species, and metabolize certain xenobiotic compounds. We analyzed DNA samples and exposure information from African-American and white cases and controls in the Carolina Breast Cancer Study to determine whether the /G/-463/A/polymorphism in the promoter region of the MPO gene was associated with increased risk of breast cancer. Next, we evaluated whether MPO-463 genotype modified the effects of exposure to the organochlorines hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and trans-nonachlor. Finally, we looked at interaction between genotypes for MPO and glutathione-S-transferase theta 1 (GSTTl) on breast cancer risk. No association was observed between the MPO (-463) genotype and breast cancer in African American women (Odds Ratio (OR) =1.00; 95% Confidence Interval (CI), 0.80-1.24). Among white women, there was an increased risk for breast cancer in those with the homozygous/A/allele genotype (OR=1.59; 95% CI, 1.09-2.32). A positive association for the highest lipid-adjusted trans-nonachlor levels was observed among women with the any MPO(-463)/A/genotype (OR=1.76; 95% CI, 1.07-2.88). ORs for any/A/allele MPO genotype and a null GSTT1 genotype indicate an increased risk for breast cancer (OR=1.76; 95% CI, 1.04-2.55; referent group = GSTT1 present and homozygous MPO/G/allele). These findings suggest that the MPO-463/A/polymorphism may influence breast cancer risk by modifying the effects of environmental exposures through specific metabolic pathways.
An Investigation on Improving Distributed Fuzzing
Creators: name: Schulz, Sears
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: As software becomes more extensive and complex, identifying and remitting potential vulnerabilities is increasingly challenging. Fuzzing is an automated technique to discover bugs by repeatedly supplying the program-under-test (PUT) with generated inputs intended to trigger unknown bugs in the PUT. In 2016, B¨ohme et al. introduced the concept of power schedules and an improved search strategy to the then state-of-the-art fuzzer AFL. Using their implementation, which they dubbed AFLFast, they found that these changes resulted in significantly faster discovery of more crashes than AFL. In independent work, researchers at Siemens have been investigating how to take advantage of data center scale infrastructure best when fuzzing. To encourage adoption and facilitate academic research, they have opensourced their own distributed fuzzing system, FLUFFI, in September 2019. This thesis investigates the application of the power schedule and search strategy in AFLFast to FLUFFI. Specifically, we have implemented AFLFast’s power schedule and search strategy as well as a round-robin search strategy on top of the upstream version of FLUFFI. To evaluate the effectiveness of these changes, we have chosen 10 binaries with known bugs from Google’s FuzzBench and measured the differences in code and bug coverage between different combinations of power schedules and search strategies. Our findings include: (i) the ideas of B¨ohme et al. can be applied to FLUFFI to improve the fuzzing outcomes in a manner similar to how AFLFast improved upon AFL; and (ii) despite its simplicity, round-robin can be a desirable search strategy earlier in a fuzzing campaign.

description: This paper provides two generalizations of differential and integral categories: Leibniz and generalized Rota-Baxter categories, which capture certain algebraic structures, and q-categories, which capture structures of quantum calculus. In the search for new examples of differential and integral categories, it was observed that many structures were not quite examples but satisfied certain properties and not others. This leads us to the definition of Leibniz, Rota-Baxter and proto-FTC categories. In generalizing Rota-Baxter categories further to an arbitrary weight, we show that we recapture Ribenboim's generalized power series as a monad on vector spaces with a generalized integral transformation. This also subsumes the renormalization operator on Laurent series, which has applications in the quantum realm. Finally, we define quantum differential and quantum integral categories, show that they recapture the usual notions of quantum calculus on polynomials, and construct a new example to indicate their potential usefulness outside of that specific setting

description: The radial profiles of stars in disc galaxies are observed to be either purely exponential (Type-I), truncated (Type-II) or anti-truncated (Type-III) exponentials. Controlled formation simulations of isolated galaxies can reproduce all of these profile types by varying a single parameter, the initial halo spin. In this paper we examine these simulations in more detail in an effort to identify the physical mechanism that leads to the formation of Type-III profiles. The stars in the anti-truncated outskirts of such discs are now on eccentric orbits, but were born on near-circular orbits at much smaller radii. We show that, and explain how, they were driven to the outskirts via non-linear interactions with a strong and long-lived central bar, which greatly boosted their semi-major axis but also their eccentricity. While bars have been known to cause radial heating and outward migration to stellar orbits, we link this effect to the formation of Type-III profiles. This predicts that the anti-truncated parts of galaxies have unusual kinematics for disc-like stellar configurations: high radial velocity dispersions and slow net rotation. Whether such discs exist in nature, can be tested by future observations.

description: Social bots have infiltrated many social media platforms, sowing misinformation and disinformation. The harm caused by social bots depends on their ability to avoid detection by credibly impersonating human users. These three studies use a signal detection task to compare human detection of Twitter social bot personas with that of machine learning assessments. Across these studies, we find that sensitivity was (1a) minimal without training or aid, (1b) people were hesitant to respond ‘bot,’ and (1c) people were prone to “myside bias,” judging personas less critically when they shared political views. We also observed (1d) sensitivity improved when a bot detection aid was provided and (1e) when users received training focused on the objectives of social bot creators: to amplify narratives to an extensive social network. When participants labeled a persona a social bot, (2) the probability of their willingness to share its content dropped dramatically. We investigated the relationships between users’ attributes and social bot detection performance and found, (3a) social media experience did not improve detection and at times impaired it; (3b) myside bias affected the sensitivity and criterion used by liberals and conservatives differently; and (3c) analytical reasoning did not improve social bot detection, nor did it mitigate observed myside bias effects, but increased them slightly. We found that (4) people were more concerned about social bots influencing others’ online behaviors than being influenced themselves. Additionally, users’ willingness to pay for a social bot detection aid increased (5a) the more they were concerned about social bots, (5b) the greater their social media experience, (5c) the greater their sensitivity, and (5d) the higher their threshold for responding ‘bot.’ These findings demonstrate the threat posed by social bots and two interventions that may reduce them.
Evaluation of an Optical Remote Sensing Device for Laboratory Validation of Optical Remote Sensing/Computed Tomography Theory

description: Optical remote sensing/computed tomography technology has been demonstrated in theoretical studies to be a feasible methodology for measuring gases and vapors in workplace air. This non-invasive, near real-time sampling system scans a room and reconstructs concentration maps with good spatial and temporal resolution. This system would require an optical remote sensor capable of providing accurate measurements over the beam pathlength. This research evaluated the accuracy of a commercially-available, optical remote sensing (ORS) device to determine its feasibility for use in the laboratory validation of optical remote sensing/computed tomography theory. Experiments were performed using direct-reading validation methods to assess accuracy in both uniform and non-uniform gas concentrations of SF6 using both a single and a reflected beam. The effect of pathlength on accuracy was determined, and the effect of inputting incorrect values of pathlength and detector signal levels into the control system was also determined. The efficiency of the mirrors used to reflect the beam was also determined. Results indicate that the device is a promising tool for this application.

description: We provide extension procedures for nonlinear expectations to the space of all bounded measurable functions. We first discuss a maximal extension for convex expectations which have a representation in terms of finitely additive measures. One of the main results of this paper is an extension procedure for convex expectations which are continuous from above and therefore admit a representation in terms of countably additive measures. This can be seen as a nonlinear version of the Daniell-Stone theorem. From this, we deduce a robust Kolmogorov extension theorem which is then used to extend nonlinear kernels to an infinite dimensional path space. We then apply this theorem to construct nonlinear Markov processes with a given family of nonlinear transition kernels.

description: Die vorliegende Analyse geht der Frage nach, ob und inwieweit der demografische Wandel auf das Kriminalitätsgeschehen und damit auf die polizeiliche Aufgabenerledigung Einfluss nimmt. Dazu werden die Verläufe der demografischen und der Kriminalitätsentwicklung mit dem Ziel untersucht, parallele oder ähnliche Verläufe zu identifizieren, aus denen sich unter Berücksichtigung der Vorausberechnung der Bevölkerungsentwicklung bis 2020 Hinweise auf das zukünftige Kriminalitätsgeschehen sowie polizeilicher Handlungsbedarf ableiten lassen. Den Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung bildet der Vergleich der Bevölkerungsdaten mit den in der PKS ausgewiesenen Opfer- und Tatverdächtigendaten des Zeitraums 1994 bis 2003 für die Bevölkerungsgruppe der ab 60-Jährigen.
The Slab Theorem for Minimal Surfaces in $\mathbb{E}(-1,τ)$

description: Unlike $\mathbb{R}^{3}$, the homogeneous spaces $\mathbb{E}(-1,τ)$ have a great variety of entire vertical minimal graphs. In this paper we explore conditions which guarantees that a minimal surface in $\mathbb{E}(-1,τ)$ is such a graph. More specifically: we introduce the definition of a generalized slab in $\mathbb{E}(-1,τ)$ and prove that a properly immersed minimal surface of finite topology inside such a slab region has multi-graph ends. Moreover, when the surface is embedded, the ends are graphs. When the surface is embedded and simply connected, it is an entire graph.

description: Die Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik (PKS) spiegelt als amtliche Ausgangsstatistik das Hellfeld der Kriminalität und somit lediglich einen spezifischen, insbesondere durch das Anzeigeverhalten der Opfer systematisch verzerrten Ausschnitt sexueller Gewaltkriminalität wider (Steffen, 1987; Steinhilper, 1986). Die Anzeigemotivation von Vergewaltigungsopfern ist als außerordentlich gering einzustufen (Scholz & Greuel, 1991); nach einer aktuellen und repräsentativen Prävalenzstudie des Bundesministeriums für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend (2004) erstatteten nur 5 Prozent der Frauen Anzeige, welche angaben, sexuelle Gewalt erlebt zu haben, sowie 8 Prozent der Frauen, welche angaben, körperliche oder sexuelle Gewalt in Paarbeziehungen erlebt zu haben.

Parabolic Minimal Surfaces in $\mathbb{M}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}$

description: Let $\mathbb{M}^{2}$ be a complete non compact orientable surface of non negative curvature. We prove in this paper some theorems involving parabolicity of minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{M}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}$. First, using a characterization of $δ$-parabolicity we prove that under additional conditions on $\mathbb{M}$, an embedded minimal surface with bounded gaussian curvature is proper. The second theorem states that under some conditions on $\mathbb{M}$, if $Σ$ is a properly immersed minimal surface with finite topology and one end in $\mathbb{M}\times\mathbb{R}$, which is transverse to a slice $\mathbb{M}\times\{t\}$ except at a finite number of points, and such that $Σ\cap(\mathbb{M}\times\{t\})$ contains a finite number of components, then $Σ$ is parabolic. In the last result, we assume some conditions on $\mathbb{M}$ and prove that if a minimal surface in $\mathbb{M}\times\mathbb{R}$ has height controlled by a logarithmic function, then it is parabolic and has a finite number of ends.

Effective Tolman temperature induced by trace anomaly

description: Despite the finiteness of stress tensor for a scalar field on the four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole in the Israel-Hartle-Hawking vacuum, the Tolman temperature in thermal equilibrium is certainly divergent on the horizon due to the infinite blueshift of the Hawking temperature. The origin of this conflict is due to the fact that the conventional Tolman temperature was based on the assumption of a traceless stress tensor, which is, however, incompatible with the presence of the trace anomaly responsible for the Hawking radiation. Here, we present an effective Tolman temperature which is compatible with the presence of the trace anomaly by using the modified Stefan-Boltzmann law. Eventually, the effective Tolman temperature turns out to be finite everywhere outside the horizon, and so there does not appear infinite blueshift of the Hawking temperature at the event horizon any more. In particular, it is vanishing on the horizon, so that the equivalence principle is exactly recovered at the horizon.

description: Iron-core electromagnets are widely used as applied-field switches in high-temperature superconducting (HTS) flux pumps. It was recently reported that the critical current ( I c ) of the HTS wire is suppressed by up to 45% in the air gap of the iron core. Here, it is reported that the self-field I c of a single tape (unifilar) is suppressed from 357 A to 195 A while in the air gap of an iron core, agreeing closely with the previous study. This is extended by showing that the I c response to a perpendicular magnetic field is asymmetric, with a peak I c of 249 A found to be at 0.16 T of applied magnetic field. This effect can be eliminated using an anti-parallel current configuration (bifilar), which is shown experimentally to recover close to the no-core self-field I c of 357 A with no observed asymmetry. The results of both types of switch configurations are closely replicated in finite-element modelling using COMSOL Multiphysics®. This is caused by the asymmetric interaction between the self-induced magnetic field of the HTS switch element and the magnetic circuit of the iron-core electromagnet.
