Partially there is an effect of educational investment costs on the quality of education with a contribution of 44.9% and there is no effect of the educational operating costs on the quality of education with a contribution of only 0.002%. While the cost and quality of education obtained the same score and category, namely: 64.3% with the medium category.
Virgin Comics' Devi: creating a new goddess
Creators: name: Gordon, Lindsay Heather
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Virgin Comics' Devi presents the story of Tara Mehta, a contemporary woman living in metropolitan India who becomes imbued with the essence of a great warrior goddess. I argue that the creators of Devi drew from numerous foundations to create their new goddess, as is seen in several images from the graphic novel. These images allow for an examination of the character's mythological heritage in the Hindu myth, the Devi-Mahatmya, her relationship to larger Hindu religious phenomena and experience, and her visual legacy in terms of the depiction of American comic book superheroes, European sacred females, and Indian comic books. These sources enable the main character of Devi to be identified as a contemporary, multi-cultural, and accessible goddess.

description: The QCD phase diagram in the temperature versus quark chemical potential plane is studied in the presence of a magnetic field, using the linear sigma model coupled to quarks. It is shown that the decrease of the couplings with increasing field strength obtained in this model leads to the critical temperature for the phase transition to decrease with increasing field intensity (inverse magnetic catalysis). This happens provided that plasma screening is properly accounted for. It is also found that with increasing field strength the location of the critical end point (CEP) in the phase diagram moves toward lower values of the critical quark chemical potential and larger values of the critical temperature. In addition, the CEP approaches the temperature axis for large values of the magnetic field. We argue that a similar behavior is to be expected in QCD, since the physical impact of the magnetic field, regardless of strength, is to produce a spatial dimension reduction, whereby virtual quark-antiquark pairs are closer on average and thus, the strength of their interaction decreases due to asymptotic freedom.

description: Let $p_n$ denote the $n$-th prime, and for any $k \geq 1$ and sufficiently large $X$, define the quantity $$ G_k(X) := \max_{p_{n+k} \leq X} \min( p_{n+1}-p_n, \dots, p_{n+k}-p_{n+k-1} ),$$ which measures the occurrence of chains of $k$ consecutive large gaps of primes. Recently, with Green and Konyagin, the authors showed that \[ G_1(X) \gg \frac{\log X \log \log X\log\log\log\log X}{\log \log \log X}\] for sufficiently large $X$. In this note, we combine the arguments in that paper with the Maier matrix method to show that \[ G_k(X) \gg \frac{1}{k^2} \frac{\log X \log \log X\log\log\log\log X}{\log \log \log X}\] for any fixed $k$ and sufficiently large $X$. The implied constant is effective and independent of $k$.

This realization has been enabled by the demonstration of a novel kind of Feshbach resonance occurring in the scattering of two 173Yb atoms in different nuclear and electronic states. The strongly interacting regime at resonance is evidenced by the observation of anisotropic hydrodynamic expansion of the two-orbital Fermi gas. These results pave the way towards the realization of new quantum states of matter with strongly correlated fermions with orbital degree of freedom.

Year: 2013

description: Objectives: Eruption disorders are frequently misdiagnosed. Confidence and diagnostic accuracy of Mechanical Failure of Eruption (MFE), ankylosis, and Primary Failure of Eruption (PFE) were assessed and a diagnostic rubric was established based on genotype:phenotype correlations. Methods: In a nationwide survey AAO and AAPD members, participants diagnosed 15 cases of verified eruption disorders. Results: The diagnostic accuracies of MFE (61%), ankylosis (42%), and PFE (33%) were significantly different (P<.0001). The percentages of participants reporting confidence in diagnosing MFE, ankylosis, and PFE were 98%, 87%, and 75% respectively. Orthodontists were more accurate than pediatric dentists (P<.0001). In our genotype:phenotype study of 64 individuals, 100% with a mutation in PTH1R, and 93% of all PFE individuals exhibited at least one infraoccluded permanent first molar. Conclusions: Orthodontists and pediatric dentists over-estimate their diagnostic ability for eruption disorders. To improve diagnosis, we have established that an infraoccluded, supracrestal first molar is a hallmark feature of PFE.

description: Eine militärische Intervention, die im Namen der Menschenrechte geführt wird, verstößt, indem Menschen getötet werden, per se gegen die Prinzipien, die sie für sich in Anspruch nimmt. Nur in einer extremen Dilemmasituation, wenn es zum Beispiel um die Verhinderung eines Völkermords geht, kann ihr eine ethische Legitimation zukommen. Letztere kann jedoch nur eine vorläufige sein, da sowohl die dem Krieg innewohnende militärische Eskalationsdynamik wie die durch militärisches Handeln bedrohte Menschenwürde jedes und jeder Einzelnen zwingend das Suchen nach Alternativen gebieten. Aus theologisch-ethischer Sicht kommt jedem Menschen im Sinne eines pazifistischen Zweifels ein Einspruchsrecht gegen die ausgeübte militärische Gewalt zu. Diese Überlegungen werden am Beispiel einer theologisch-ethischen Analyse des Kosovo-Krieges entfaltet. Dabei werden neben Argumenten aus der traditionellen "Lehre vom gerechten Krieg" auch Überlegungen des Sozialphilosophen Michael Walzer berücksichtigt. Michael Schober studierte Katholische Theologie, Germanistik und Politikwissenschaft an der Universität Tübingen und wurde an der dortigen Katholisch-Theologischen Fakultät promoviert. Seine Dissertation „Zeugnisse der Unterbrechung von Gewalt im Krieg – Grundlegung einer theologischen Ethik des nicht suspendierte Zwiefels“ wurde ebenfalls hier online-veröffentlicht. Nach längerer Tätigkeit in der Erwachsenenbildung ist er derzeit wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter im Bereich Religionspädagogik/Fachdidaktik am Institut für Katholische Theologie der Universität Hildesheim.
description: Military intervention carried out on humanitarian grounds violates the very principles of human rights when civilians are killed. War presents an ethical dilemma, only gaining legitimacy, when used as a means to prevent genocide. Preventing genocide can be only provisionally letigimate because military escalation, inherent to war, also threatens human dignity. Civilians can doubt or object to the use of military force, but there are few pacifist alternatives. The war in Kosovo allows for the analysis of Michael Walzer’s doctrine of ”just an unjust wars“, and specific theological-ethical reflections. Michael Schober received his PhD from the Department of Catholic Theology at the University of Tübingen in conjunction with German Literature and Political Science. After working as teacher in adult education, Michael Schober is now an advisor in religious education and methodology in the department of Catholic Theology at the University of Hildesheim.

description: Using the most recent releases of WISE and Planck data, we perform updated measurements of the bias and typical dark matter halo mass of infrared-selected obscured and unobscured quasars, using the angular autocorrelation function and cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing cross-correlations. Since our recent work of this kind, the WISE Allwise catalogue was released with improved photometry, and the Planck mission was completed and released improved products. These new data provide a more reliable measurement of the quasar bias and provide an opportunity to explore the role of changing survey pipelines in results downstream. We present a comparison of IR color-selected quasars, split into obscured and unobscured populations based on optical-IR colors, selected from two versions of the WISE data. Which combination of data is used impacts the final results, particularly for obscured quasars, both because of mitigation of some systematics and because the newer catalogue provides a slightly different sample. We show that Allwise data is superior in several ways, though there may be some systematic trends with Moon contamination that were not present in the previous catalogue. We opt currently for the most conservative sample that meet our selection criteria in both the previous and new WISE catalogues. We measure a higher bias and halo mass for obscured quasars ($b_{\textrm{obsc}} \sim 2.1$, $b_{\textrm{unob}} \sim 1.8$) --- at odds with simple orientation models --- but at a reduced significance ($\sim$1.5$σ$) as compared to our work with previous survey data.

description: Glutathione (GSH) plays a pivotal role in cellular redox poise, which is disordered in many metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes. Glutaredoxin-2 (Grx2) is a glutathione transferase in mitochondria and the nucleus. We previously established that Grx2 knockout (Grx2-/-) mice have low GSH:GSSG and mitochondrial dysfunction in isolated mitochondria of muscle and heart. Moreover, low GSH:GSSG stimulates mitochondrial fusion in transformed cell lines. Our goal was to study the impact of Grx2-/- on the GSH ratio and on mitochondrial structure and function in situ and in intact primary muscle cells. Compared to wild-type (WT), Grx2-/- myoblasts have a decreased GSH:GSSG, with a marked increase in mitochondrial length. Mitochondrial ultrastructure is profoundly abnormal in the Grx2-/- muscle compared to WT. Furthermore, mitochondrial content is significantly reduced in the Grx2-/- muscle. Mitochondrial energetic analyses in myofiber preparations confirm impaired CI activity and reveal impaired fatty acid oxidation capacity. In summary, the absence of Grx2 causes marked abnormalities in mitochondrial ultrastructure in skeletal muscle and in cellular GSH redox state and mitochondrial length.

description: The rapid advancement in encryption and network computing gave birth to new tools and products that have influenced the local and global economy alike. One recent and notable example is the emergence of virtual currencies, also known as cryptocurrencies or digital currencies. Virtual currencies, such as Bitcoin, introduced a fundamental transformation that affected the way goods, services, and assets are exchanged. As a result of its distributed ledgers based on blockchain, cryptocurrencies not only offer some unique advantages to the economy, investors, and consumers, but also pose considerable risks to users and challenges for regulators when fitting the new technology into the old legal framework. This paper attempts to model the volatility of bitcoin using 5 variants of the GARCH model namely: GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) IGARCH(1,1) TGARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1). Once the best model is selected, an OLS regression was ran on the volatility series to measure the day of the week the effect. The results indicate that the TGARCH (1,1) model best fits the volatility price for the data. Moreover, Sunday appears as the most significant day in the week. A nontechnical discussion of several aspects and features of virtual currencies and a glimpse at what the future may hold for these decentralized currencies is also presented.
Self-Supervised Representation Learning for Molecular Property Predictions
Creators: name: Wang, Yuyang
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Mechanical Engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: Deep learning (DL) has been widely implemented in molecular modeling for property predictions. However, there are two major challenges in DL for molecules. (1) The chemical space of potentially active molecules is gigantic. (2) Labeled data of molecular properties is limited due to expensive and time-consuming simulations and experiments. DL models trained on such limited data in a supervised-learning manner struggle to perform well on novel molecules. Recently, self-supervised learning (SSL), gathers growing attention for learning representations from unlabeled data via obtaining supervisory objectives from the data itself. Unlike supervised learning, SSL can leverage massive data without manually annotated labels, which bears the promise of learning generic molecular representations for various applications. In this dissertation, we study self-supervised molecular representation learning that makes use of large unlabeled data for better molecular property predictions. This dissertation consists of three parts, where we investigate SSL with different representations of molecules for different applications. In Part I, we introduce contrastive learning (CL) to learn representation from 2D molecular graphs with graph neural networks (GNNs). We further improve the CL framework via faulty negative mitigation with fingerprints as well as fragment-level contrasting between decomposed molecular motifs. A wide variety of property prediction tasks concerning small organic molecules, including physiology, biophysics, physical chemistry, and quantum mechanics, have been investigated in this part. In Part II, we investigate SSL methods that leverage 3D molecular geometries. In particular, denoising pre-training is proposed which significantly improves the accuracy of molecular potential predictions with equivariant GNNs. Notably, our models pre-trained on small molecules demonstrate remarkable transferability, improving performance when fine-tuned on diverse molecular systems, including different elements, charged molecules, biomolecules, and larger systems. Lastly in Part III, we investigate the development of structure-agnostic language models, especially Transformers, in chemical science. We propose chemical-aware tokenization and adapt masked language modeling for polymer property predictions. Moreover, we utilize the multimodalities of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) through jointly training two branches of string representations encoded by Transformers and 3D geometric representations encoded by alignment. Overall, our research advances self-supervised molecular representation learning for improved prediction accuracy of various molecular properties, with potential implications for accelerating drug and material discovery.

Modeling of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in a Two-Species Feedback Loop

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, otherwise known as mad cow disease, can spread when an individual cow consumes feed containing the infected tissues of another individual, forming a one-species feedback loop. Such feedback is the primary means of transmission for BSE during epidemic conditions. Following outbreaks in the European Union and elsewhere, many governments enacted legislation designed to limit the spread of such diseases via elimination or reduction of one-species feedback loops in agricultural systems. However, two-species feedback loops---those in which infectious material from one-species is consumed by a secondary species whose tissue is then consumed by the first species---were not universally prohibited and have not been studied before. Here we present a basic ecological disease model which examines the role feedback loops may play in the spread of BSE and related diseases. Our model shows that there are critical thresholds between the infection's expansion and decrease related to the lifespan of the hosts, the growth rate of the prions, and the amount of prions circulating between hosts. The ecological disease dynamics can be intrinsically oscillatory, having outbreaks as well as refractory periods which can make it appear that the disease is under control while it is still increasing. We show that non-susceptible species that have been intentionally inserted into a feedback loop to stop the spread of disease do not, strictly by themselves, guarantee its control, though they may give that appearance by increasing the refractory period of an epidemic's oscillations. We suggest ways in which age-related dynamics and cross-species coupling should be considered in continuing evaluations aimed at maintaining a safe food supply.

The effects of standardized patient training on dental hygiene students confidence in delivering tobacco cessation counseling
Creators: name: Adkins, Judy Robbyne
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if the confidence of dental hygienists in providing Tobacco Cessation Counseling can be increased by incorporating Standardized Patient (SP) training into the dental hygiene Tobacco Cessation Counseling (TCC) curriculum. Dental hygienists report lack of confidence in initiating Tobacco Cessation Counseling with their patients who smoke. A two-parallel group randomized design was used to compare the self-reported confidence of students (N = 27) attending a TCC lecture followed by Standardized Patient (SP) training to the confidence of students attending the same TCC lecture without SP training. There was no statistically significant difference in post-test Knowledge between the groups (p=.08). However, there was a statistically significant difference (p=.02) in mean self-reported Confidence between the Test (X= 34.57, SD 22.93) and Control (X=14.19, SD 14.51) groups. These results may translate into DHs being more willing and able to provide TCC to their patients.

description: The equivalence of cooling to the gradient flow when the cooling step $n_c$ and the continuous flow step of gradient flow $τ$ are matched is generalized to gauge actions that include rectangular terms. By expanding the link variables up to subleading terms in perturbation theory, we relate $n_c$ and $τ$ and show that the results for the topological charge become equivalent when rescaling $τ\simeq n_c/({3-15 c_1})$ where $c_1$ is the Symanzik coefficient multiplying the rectangular term. We, subsequently, apply cooling and the gradient flow using the Wilson, the Symanzik tree-level improved and the Iwasaki gauge actions to configurations produced with $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass fermions. We compute the topological charge, its distribution and the correlators between cooling and gradient flow at three values of the lattice spacing demonstrating that the perturbative rescaling $τ\simeq n_c/({3-15 c_1})$ leads to equivalent results.

Moral discourse, political culture, and the debate over same-sex marriage
Creators: name: McFarland, Katherine
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: In the last decade, Americans across the nation have confronted the issue of same-sex marriage, creating a moral discourse that before did not exist. In this paper I analyze the frames used in debates over constitutional amendments defining marriage and other relationship recognition in newspapers in seven states. Contrary to previous research on public discussion of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) rights which argues that debates are polarized by values of equal rights vs. traditional morality, I find that, Americans also invoke tolerance, Constitutionality, family values, and separation of governmental powers when confronted with the issue of same-sex marriage. Additionally, I show that use of some of these frames varies by state, confirming my hypothesis of the role of political culture. This research has implications for the role of moral discourse in political culture and the ways political culture varies (and the ways it does not vary) nationally.

Abstract—Viscoelastic materials are commonly used for engineering applications due to their unique and useful properties. Namely, when rubbers are subjected to deformation, then the stress response is not linear but increases or decreases similar to a hyperelastic material. Moreover, the significant part of elastomers is that when the deformation is held constant after loading or unloading, the stress response is to relax or recover, respectively. These transient effects are more obvious when the rubbers are saturated and change with the increasing velocity that the material deforms. In the current work, we experimentally examined the viscoelastic behaviour of two different rubbers subjected to tension for three different speeds.
From Korea to Cowichan: a Korean perspective on English language learning in Duncan
Creators: name: Reid, Adam B.
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: English language--Study and teaching--Foreign speakers

description: The purpose of the present study was to gain a better understanding of what opportunities for successful learning and socialization that young South Korean ELLs encountered at X Elementary School in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, BC. In order to achieve this aim, the author of the current study set out to determine the students’ perceptions of various factors that could influence their immersion experience in Canada. The questionnaires created for this study were gathered from seven South Korean ELLs in Grades 4-7, all of whom were residing in the Cowichan Valley and attending X Elementary School at the time of the study. The study found that the young South Korean ELLs enjoyed being at X Elementary School and felt confident about about their English abilities, but were unhappy about studying certain subjects at school as well as being displeased by certain dynamics within the Canadian homestay placement. The data from the survey showed that areas of social dynamics and food considerations were of vital importance to the happiness and success of the immersion experience for young South Korean ELLs at X Elementary School.

Search for pair production of a new heavy quark that decays into a $W$ boson and a light quark in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: A search is presented for pair production of a new heavy quark ($Q$) that decays into a $W$ boson and a light quark ($q$) in the final state where one $W$ boson decays leptonically (to an electron or muon plus a neutrino) and the other $W$ boson decays hadronically. The analysis is performed using an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. No evidence of $Q\bar{Q}$ production is observed. New chiral quarks with masses below 690 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level, assuming BR$(Q\to Wq)=1$. Results are also interpreted in the context of vectorlike quark models, resulting in the limits on the mass of a vectorlike quark in the two-dimensional plane of BR$(Q\to Wq)$ versus BR$(Q\to Hq)$.

Measurement of differential cross sections and $W^+/W^-$ cross-section ratios for $W$ boson production in association with jets at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: (2017).
description: This paper presents a measurement of the $W$ boson production cross section and the $W^{+}/W^{-}$ cross-section ratio, both in association with jets, in proton--proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement is performed in final states containing one electron and missing transverse momentum using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb$^{-1}$. Differential cross sections for events with one or two jets are presented for a range of observables, including jet transverse momenta and rapidities, the scalar sum of transverse momenta of the visible particles in the event, and the transverse momentum of the $W$ boson. For a subset of the observables, the differential cross sections of positively and negatively charged $W$ bosons are measured separately. In the cross-section ratio of $W^{+}/W^{-}$ the dominant systematic uncertainties cancel out, improving the measurement precision by up to a factor of nine. The observables and ratios selected for this paper provide valuable input for the up quark, down quark, and gluon parton distribution functions of the proton.

description: Solvation free energies are efficiently predicted by molecular density functionnal theory (MDFT) if one corrects the overpressure introduced by the usual homogeneous reference fluid approximation. Sergiievskyi et al. [Sergiievskyi et al., JPCL, 2014, 5, 1935-1942] recently derived the rigorous compensation of this excess of pressure (PC) and proposed an empirical "ideal gas" supplementary correction (PC+) that further enhances the calculated solvation free energies. In a recent paper [Misin et al, JCP, 2015, 142, 091105], those corrections were applied to solvation free energy calculations using the three-dimensional reference interaction site model (3D-RISM). As for classical DFT, PC and PC+ corrections improve greatly the predictions of 3D-RISM, but PC+ is described as decreasing the accuracy. In this article, we first derive rigorously the PC and PC+ corrections for 3D-RISM. We show the reported discrepancy is then taken off by introducing the correct expression of the pressure in 3D-RISM. This provides a consistent way to correct the solvation free-energies calculated by 3D-RISM method.
Efficient temperature-dependent Green's functions methods for realistic systems: compact grids for orthogonal polynomial transforms

description: The temperature-dependent Matsubara Green's function that is used to describe temperature-dependent behavior is expressed on a numerical grid. While such a grid usually has a couple of hundred points for low-energy model systems, for realistic systems in large basis sets the size of an accurate grid can be tens of thousands of points, constituting a severe computational and memory bottleneck. In this paper, we determine efficient imaginary time grids for the temperature-dependent Matsubara Green's function formalism that can be used for calculations on realistic systems. We show that due to the use of orthogonal polynomial transform, we can restrict the imaginary time grid to few hundred points and reach micro-Hartree accuracy in the electronic energy evaluation. Moreover, we show that only a limited number of orthogonal polynomial expansion coefficients are necessary to preserve accuracy when working with a dual representation of Green's function or self-energy and transforming between the imaginary time and Matsubara frequency domain.
