description: $α$-RuCl$_3$ has been proposed recently as an excellent playground for exploring Kitaev physics on a two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattice. However, structural clarification of the compound has not been completed, which is crucial in understanding the physics of this system. Here, using {\it ab-initio} electronic structure calculations, we study a full three dimensional (3D) structure of $α$-RuCl$_3$ including the effects of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and electronic correlations. Three major results are as follows; i) SOC suppresses dimerization of Ru atoms, which exists in other Ru compounds such as isostructural Li$_2$RuO$_3$, and making the honeycomb closer to an ideal one. ii) The nearest-neighbor Kitaev exchange interaction between the $j_{\rm eff}$=1/2 pseudospin depends strongly on the Ru-Ru distance and the Cl position, originating from the nature of the edge-sharing geometry. iii) The optimized 3D structure without electronic correlations has $P{\bar 3}1m$ space group symmetry independent of SOC, but including electronic correlation changes the optimized 3D structure to either $C2/m$ or $Cmc2_1$ within 0.1 meV per formula unit (f.u.) energy difference. The reported $P3_112$ structure is also close in energy. The interlayer spin exchange coupling is a few percent of in-plane spin exchange terms, confirming $α$-RuCl$_3$ is close to a 2D system. We further suggest how to increase the Kitaev term via tensile strain, which sheds new light in realizing Kitaev spin liquid phase in this system.

description: In this paper I compare Old High German and the Germanic dialect Cimbrian, two languages which share the availability of free inversion in co-occurrence with an expletive-like element tho and da ‘there’, and I show that they share striking similarities which follow from their pro-drop nature. Tho is typically analysed as a narrative/discourse-continuative marker (Axel 2007, Fuß & Hinterhölzl 2019) appearing in CP or in TP – an account which does not make sense though of the fact that its distribution is restricted to certain verb types (typically unaccusatives, verbs of saying) and constructions (such as passives). In this paper I reconsider the possibility that tho and free inversion are to be connected to the availability of pro-drop in Old High German (cf. Haeberli 2001 for this idea for Old English) and I show that if we apply a Topic-matching analysis for the licensing of null subjects (Frascarelli 2007, 2018) to the Old High German data we are able to solve the problems of Haeberli’s account discussed in Axel (2007). These problems all follow from the assumption that tho lexicalises a there-type expletive appearing in Spec,TP which goes against the evidence for tho. In my alternative account I show that in Old High German free inversion involves the presence of an overt or silent expletive tho, a locative argument selected by the lexical verb which can be promoted to an expletive of the TopicP position in the left periphery in sentences in which the DP subject has not moved out of the VP (cf. Tortora 2001 on free inversion in Italian) and whose function is to satisfy the EPP feature associated with the Topic-criterion needed for the licensing of pro in Spec,TP (Frascarelli 2007, 2018). The availability of free inversion was lost in the history of German due to the loss of pro-drop but it is still available in the Cimbrian dialect spoken in the village of Luserna. In Cimbrian free inversion obligatory involves overt da, a CP expletive, enclitic to the finite verb or the complementiser and whose function is purely formal, i.e. licensing pro in TP, as proposed by Bidese & Tomaselli (2018). I will suggest that the two elements are connected and that Cimbrian da is not an innovation but results from a grammaticalisation process of tho according to which the locative expletive develops from a maximal category with discourse properties (tho) into a head (da) with functional/grammatical status (van Gelderen’s 2010 Head Preference Principle).

description: A general method for constructing simplicial complex from observed time series of dynamical systems based on the delay coordinate reconstruction procedure is presented. The obtained simplicial complex preserves all pertinent topological features of the reconstructed phase space and it may be analyzes from topological, combinatorial and algebraic aspects. In focus of this study is the computation of homology of the invariant set of some well known dynamical systems which display chaotic behavior. Persistent homology of simplicial complex and its relationship with the embedding dimensions are examined by studying the lifetime of topological features and topological noise. The consistency of topological properties for different dynamic regimes and embedding dimensions is examined. The obtained results shed new light on the topological properties of the reconstructed phase space and open up new possibilities for application of advanced topological methods. the method presented here may be used as a generic method for constructing simplicial complex from a scalar time series which has a number of advantages compared to the mapping of the time series to a complex network.

description: We design an algorithm for computing the $p$-curvature of a differential system in positive characteristic $p$. For a system of dimension $r$ with coefficients of degree at most $d$, its complexity is $\softO (p d r^ω)$ operations in the ground field (where $ω$ denotes the exponent of matrix multiplication), whereas the size of the output is about $p d r^2$. Our algorithm is then quasi-optimal assuming that matrix multiplication is (\emph{i.e.} $ω= 2$). The main theoretical input we are using is the existence of a well-suited ring of series with divided powers for which an analogue of the Cauchy--Lipschitz Theorem holds.

Un alma libanesa - A Lebanese Soul: Identity construction in the Lebanese-Argentine diaspora community
Creators: name: Miller, Lindsay
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: In 1989, Carlos Saúl Menem, an Argentine-born son of Syrian immigrants was elected
President of Argentina with the financial support of the Syrian and Libyan governments. On
March 17, 1992, a bomb detonated at the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, killing 22 people.
Hezbollah later claimed responsibility for the attack. On July 18, 1994, a second attack occurred
at the Israeli-Argentine Mutual Association (Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina — AMIA), a
Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, killing 85 and wounding an additional 300
individuals. Although the case remains unresolved, Hezbollah, Iran and Syria are considered the
most likely perpetrators.
These stories, which made headlines around the world, suggest that Argentina has
historically been contentiously entangled in Middle Eastern affairs. The main Israeli institutions
in the Argentine capital were the targets of terrorist attacks, suggesting that the political tensions
between Arabs and Israelis extended beyond the region to shape life in other parts of the world.
However, behind the political headlines lies a more complex story of diaspora communities,
characterized by more questions than answers: Who are the Middle Eastern diaspora
communities in Argentina? How did they bridge the gap between Argentina and their Middle
Eastern home countries? Which factors influenced the development of their diaspora
communities? How do social factors like religion, family and culture influence the development
of diaspora politics?
This study explores the history of the Lebanese diaspora community in Buenos Aires and
the personal accounts of its members, with the intent of discussing one element of the complex
Lebanese-Argentine community: Lebanese-Argentine identity construction. How do members of
the Lebanese-Argentine community understand their Lebanese identity? How does the
development of that identity compare to the identity construction of others in the Lebanese
diaspora?

Hospital Surge Capacity for an Influenza Pandemic in the Triangle Region of North Carolina
Creators: name: Woodul, Rachel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This research examines the ability of the hospital system in the Triangle region of North Carolina to respond to an increased demand for care during a large-scale influenza pandemic. Statistical and spatial modeling are used to simulate an event similar to the 1918 pandemic. The infected population of the Triangle region are allocated to the nearest hospital based on distance, given there remains available treatment space, until system surge capacity is reached. Clinical case rates from the 1918 influenza pandemic were used to simulate an influenza pandemic in the 2010 population of the Triangle, and standard operating parameters and surge capacity values for each hospital in the study have been incorporated into the model to accurately represent the ability of each hospital to provide care. A capacitated allocation model was developed to allocate infected individuals to hospitals. This model incorporates both hospital capacity and geographic access to facilities, allowing for visualization of both geographic access to facilities and the potential to realize access at, or utilize, facilities once they have been accessed. By differentiating between access and utilization, this research seeks to understand both the potential surge in demand for care during an influenza pandemic, as well as the capacity of existing facilities to respond to such a surge.

description: We report the discovery of KELT-14b and KELT-15b, two hot Jupiters from the KELT-South survey. KELT-14b, an independent discovery of the recently announced WASP-122b, is an inflated Jupiter mass planet that orbits a $\sim5.0^{+0.3}_{-0.7}$ Gyr, $V$ = 11.0, G2 star that is near the main sequence turnoff. The host star, KELT-14 (TYC 7638-981-1), has an inferred mass $M_{*}$=$1.18_{-0.07}^{+0.05}$$M_{\odot}$ and radius $R_{*}$=$1.37\pm{-0.08}$$R_{\odot}$, and has $T_{eff}$=$5802_{-92}^{+95}$K, $\log{g_*}$=$4.23_{-0.04}^{+0.05}$ and =$0.33\pm{0.09}$. The planet orbits with a period of $1.7100588 \pm 0.0000025$ days ($T_{0}$=2457091.02863$\pm$0.00047) and has a radius R$_{p}$=$1.52_{-0.11}^{+0.12}$$R_{J}$ and mass M$_{p}$=$1.196\pm0.072$$M_{J}$, and the eccentricity is consistent with zero. KELT-15b is another inflated Jupiter mass planet that orbits a $\sim$ $4.6^{+0.5}_{-0.4}$ Gyr, $V$ = 11.2, G0 star (TYC 8146-86-1) that is near the "blue hook" stage of evolution prior to the Hertzsprung gap, and has an inferred mass $M_{*}$=$1.181_{-0.050}^{+0.051}$$M_{\odot}$ and radius $R_{*}$=$1.48_{-0.04}^{+0.09}$$R_{\odot}$, and $T_{eff}$=$6003_{-52}^{+56}$K, $\log{g_*}$=$4.17_{-0.04}^{+0.02}$ and [Fe/H]=$0.05\pm0.03$. The planet orbits on a period of $3.329441 \pm 0.000016$ days ($T_{0}$ = 2457029.1663$\pm$0.0073) and has a radius R$_{p}$=$1.443_{-0.057}^{+0.11}$$R_{J}$ and mass M$_{p}$=$0.91_{-0.22}^{+0.21}$$M_{J}$ and an eccentricity consistent with zero. KELT-14b has the second largest expected emission signal in the K-band for known transiting planets brighter than $K<10.5$. Both KELT-14b and KELT-15b are predicted to have large enough emission signals that their secondary eclipses should be detectable using ground-based observatories.

Task Scheduling on the Cloud with Hard Constraints

description: Scheduling Bag-of-Tasks (BoT) applications on the cloud can be more challenging than grid and cluster environ- ments. This is because a user may have a budgetary constraint or a deadline for executing the BoT application in order to keep the overall execution costs low. The research in this paper is motivated to investigate task scheduling on the cloud, given two hard constraints based on a user-defined budget and a deadline. A heuristic algorithm is proposed and implemented to satisfy the hard constraints for executing the BoT application in a cost effective manner. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using four scenarios that are based on the trade-off between performance and the cost of using different cloud resource types. The experimental evaluation confirms the feasibility of the algorithm in satisfying the constraints. The key observation is that multiple resource types can be a better alternative to using a single type of resource.

Feynman diagrams in python: Revamping feynml and pyfeyn
Creators: name: Neuwirth, Alexander Puck
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: feynml is a project to develop an XML dialect for describing Feynman diagrams as used in quantum field theory calculations. A primary goal is the creation of a clear and definitive XML representation of Feynman diagram structures, serving as a standard that can be effortlessly translated into diverse formats. Similarly to HTML/CSS the physical/topological content is separated from the stylized representation. That graphical representation can be realized through pyfeyn2, which took the approach of pyfeyn and extended it to a broader range of render engines namely matplotlib, PyX, tikz, ASCII, Unicode, feynmp and the DOT language. The package allows for manual or automatic placement of vertices, enabling customization and flexibility from within a Notebook. The main difference to existing Mathematica-based solutions lies in the modular approach. This modularity enables easy interfacing with a range of tools. For instance, LHE and HEPMC files can be visualized as Feynman diagrams through pyLHE and pyHEPMC. Additionally, theoretical computations are streamlined through interfaces such as the python-based UFO standard and qgraf. Further, the transformation of diagrams into amplitudes is supported, which can be further processed with tools like form or sympy. The projects are hosted on github

description: We address the electron transport characteristics in bulk half-Heusler alloys with their compositions tuned to the borderline between topologically nontrivial semi-metallic and trivial semiconducting phases. The precise first-principles calculations based on the coherent potential approximation (CPA) reveal that all the studied systems exhibit sets of dispersionless impurity-like resonant levels, with one of them being located right at the Dirac point. By means of the Kubo formalism we reveal that the residual conductivity of these alloys is strongly suppressed by impurity scattering, whereas the spin Hall conductivity exhibits a large value which is comparable to that of Pt, thereby leading to divergent spin Hall angles.

Subjects: subject: 80109 Pattern Recognition and Data Mining
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This thesis introduces new techniques for efficiently training machine learning models over continuously arriving data to achieve high accuracy, even under changes in the data distribution over time, known as concept drift. First, we address the case of IID data with STRSAGA, an optimization algorithm based on variance-reduced stochastic gradient descent that can incorporate incrementally arriving data and efficiently converges to statistical accuracy. Second, we address the case of non-IID data over time with DriftSurf. Previous work on drift detection generally rely on threshold parameters that are difficult to set, making them less practical without prior knowledge of the magnitude and rate of change. DriftSurf improves the robustness of traditional drift detection tests through a stable-state/reactive-state process, and attains higher statistical accuracy whenever an efficient optimizer like STRSAGA is used. Third, we address the case of non-IID data both over time and distributed in space in the federated learning setting with FedDrift. We empirically show that previous centralized drift adaptation and previous personalized federated learning methods are ill-suited under staggered drifts. FedDrift is the first algorithm explicitly designed for both dimensions of heterogeneity, and accurately identifies distinct concepts by learning a time-varying clustering, which enables collaborative training despite drifts. We show the presented algorithms are effective through theoretical competitive analyses and experimental studies that demonstrate higher accuracy on benchmark datasets over the prior state-of-the-art.

Characterization of Tumor Overexpressed Gene (TOG) Domains 3 and 5 of XMAP215 Family Proteins
Creators: name: Stevens, Olivia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: The inherent differences in TOG domain architectures and their affect on MT dynamics
provoke two separate questions. The first is in regards to whether the TOG domains are
similar or different in their functionality, and the second concerns the type of tubulin-binding mechanism utilized by the TOG domain array. I hypothesize that TOG domain architectures comprising XMAP215 TOG domain arrays are arranged in a specific orientation to distinguish between different tubulin structural states, which
may play an important mechanistic role in XMAP215-mediated MT polymerization. To study
this hypothesis, I am going to determine if TOG domain structures are conserved between
XMAP215 family members, test the role of different TOG domain features in promoting domain
stabilization, and understand how different TOG architectures affect MT polymerization. These
studies will be achieved by (1) structurally characterizing TOG domains 3 and 5 from species
across the XMAP215 family by X-ray crystallography, (2) completing the Msps TOG array by
crystallizing Msps TOG1 (3) probing the role of TOG5’s extra N-terminal HR in promoting
secondary structure and domain stability by creating mutant constructs and performing
comparative circular dichroism studies, and (4) examining the effects of intra-HR loop A W→E
(TOG3) and F→E (TOG5) mutations on the catalysis of MT polymerization by these TOG
domains in a light scattering assay. Collectively, these experiments will provide further
comprehension of the mechanism of XMAP215 proteins and will provide insight into how the
architecture and structural elements of arrayed TOG domains dictate their functionality and
differential contribution to MT dynamics.

description: The Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) can be used in conjunction with Density Functional Theory (DFT) and its time-dependent extension (TDDFT) to simulate the electronic and optical properties of molecules and nanoparticles immersed in a dielectric environment, typically liquid solvents. In this contribution, we develop a methodology to account for solvation effects in real-space (and real-time) (TD)DFT calculations. The boundary elements method is used to calculate the solvent reaction potential in terms of the apparent charges that spread over the Van der Waals solute surface. In a real-space representation this potential may exhibit a Coulomb singularity at grid points that are close to the cavity surface. We propose a simple approach to regularize such singularity by using a set of spherical Gaussian functions to distribute the apparent charges. We have implemented the proposed method in the Octopus code and present results for the electrostatic contribution to the solvation free energies and solvatochromic shifts for a representative set of organic molecules in water.

Is the radio emission in the Bullet cluster due to Dark Matter annihilation?

description: We study the complex structure of the Bullet cluster radio halo to determine the Dark Matter (DM) contribution to the emission observed in the different subhalos corresponding to the DM and baryonic dominated regions. We use different non-thermal models to study the different regions, and we compare our results with the available observations in the radio, X-ray and gamma-ray bands, and the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect data. We find that the radio emission coming from the main DM subhalo can be produced by secondary electrons produced by DM annihilations. In this scenario there are however some open issues, like the difficulty to explain the observed flux at 8.8 GHz, the high value of the required annihilation cross section, and the lack of observed emission coming from the minor DM subhalo. We also find that part of the radio emission originated by DM annihilation could be associated with a slightly extended radio source present near the main DM subhalo. Regarding the baryonic subhalos, the radio measurements do not allow to discriminate between a primary or secondary origin of the electrons, while the SZ effect data point towards a primary origin for the non-thermal electrons in the Main Subcluster. We conclude that in order to better constrain the properties of the DM subhalos, it is important to perform detailed measurements of the radio emission in the regions where the DM halos have their peaks, and that the separation of the complex radio halo in different subhalos is a promising technique to understand the properties of each specific subhalo.

description: The fact that fast oscillating homogeneous scalar fields behave as perfect fluids in average and their intrinsic isotropy have made these models very fruitful in cosmology. In this work we will analyse the perturbations dynamics in these theories assuming general power law potentials $V(ϕ)=λ\vertϕ\vert^{n}/n$. At leading order in the wavenumber expansion, a simple expression for the effective sound speed of perturbations is obtained $c_{\text{eff}}^2 = ω=(n-2)/(n+2)$ with $ω$ the effective equation of state. We also obtain the first order correction in $k^2/ω_{\text{eff}}^2$, when the wavenumber $k$ of the perturbations is much smaller than the background oscillation frequency, $ω_{\text{eff}}$. For the standard massive case we have also analysed general anharmonic contributions to the effective sound speed. These results are reached through a perturbed version of the generalized virial theorem and also studying the exact system both in the super-Hubble limit, deriving the natural ansatz for $δϕ$; and for sub-Hubble modes, exploiting Floquet's theorem.

Children's Rights and Intercountry Adoption: Reconstructing the African Union's Role
Creators: name: McQuillin, Anna
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Analyzing the normative instruments for children’s rights on the African continent involves detailed exploration of the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child and the OAU’s/AU’s African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child with the specific example of intercountry adoption.  Through researching both instruments and their comparative and constructive impacts on children’s rights, this thesis necessarily extends analysis to the history of the concept of childhood and children’s rights.  The ‘question’ or ‘problem’ of incorporating children into the broader framework of human rights did not naturally flow from Enlightenment concepts of human rights, yet the specific complexities of childhood agency and dependency in a rights framework are illustrative not only for children but also for our understanding and application of human rights to all of humanity.  The conclusion of this thesis is multi-faceted as its aims and questions cover broadly the histories and normative analysis of childhood, children’s rights, and both the CRC and ACRWC. First, children’s dependency and agency presents simultaneously and does not preclude the crafting of rights in line with universal human rights for children.  Secondly, the creation of the universal CRC involved ideas and concepts from non-Western countries given the circumstances of the mid-20th century. And, lastly, the ACRWC is neither a carbon copy of nor a total departure from the CRC; instead, the two frameworks additively work to set norms for children’s rights in African states.  Although the specific study of intercountry adoption throughout the thesis’ analysis of children’s rights nominally affects very few children, it further complicates and makes tangible the most complex aspects of children’s and human rights.  The inclusion of children’s rights and the teasing out of complexities within the CRC and the ACRWC continues to occur as the frameworks are implemented in a variety of circumstances.  The African Union created these norms and works to implement them in African states, drawing on the history of childhood, children’s rights, and drafting normative instruments such as those analyzed in this thesis.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Logic (math.LO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We develop tame topology over dp-minimal structures equipped with definable uniformities satisfying certain assumptions. Our assumptions are enough to ensure that definable sets are tame: there is a good notion of dimension on definable sets, definable functions are almost everywhere continuous, and definable sets are finite unions of graphs of definable continuous "multi-valued functions". This generalizes known statements about weakly o-minimal, C-minimal and P-minimal theories.

The Prevalence of Violence Against ED Nurses and Effective Interventions to Mitigate Violence
Creators: name: McCarter, Derrick
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: A literature review exploring the incidence of workplace violence (WPV) against nurses in the emergency department (ED) setting. Expounding professional literature findings regarding ways to mitigate such violence against nurses. WPV is a global problem affecting countless emergency department nurses. WPV not only affects emergency nurses but the overall healthcare business is impacted as well. As a result of the increase in violence against nurses, they are more inclined to take time off from work. Professional scholarly literature informs that the best intervention is to educate nurses and medical staff on the proper ways to mitigate WPV. To address the need for increasing education amongst nurses in an effort to mitigate WPV a short educational “white board” video was created for nurses to learn about the prevalence of WPV and how to prevent it. Additional resources are included in the educational video referring nurses to obtain additional information from the Emergency Nurse Association (ENA) about WPV and other ways to mitigate WPV from ever occurring.
Compact objects from gravitational collapse: an analytical toy model

description: We develop here a procedure to obtain regular static configurations as resulting from dynamical gravitational collapse of a massive matter cloud in general relativity. Under certain general physical assumptions for the collapsing cloud, we find the class of dynamical models that lead to an equilib- rium configuration. To illustrate this, we provide a class of perfect fluid collapse models that lead to a static constant density object as limit. We suggest that similar models might possibly constitute the basis for the description of formation of compact objects in nature.

Individual Differences in the Embodiment of Emotion
Creators: name: Zuniga, Andrea
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: The present study took an individual differences approach to understand how variation in
interoceptive sensitivity and emotion concept knowledge interact to predict variability in
individuals’ emotional experiences. Participants completed a heartbeat detection task as a
measure of interoceptive or inner bodily sensitivity, an emotion category rating task as a measure
of emotion concept knowledge, and reported what and how intensely they experienced different
emotions during a negative affect induction using the Trier Social Stress Task. Findings
demonstrated that both interoceptive sensitivity and emotion concept knowledge were correlated
with the kinds and intensity of emotions that individuals reported experiencing during the Trier.
These findings suggest that emotional experiences are, in part, rooted in how aware individuals
are of bodily changes and how they interpret those bodily signals using emotion concept
knowledge. Additionally, interoceptive sensitivity and emotion concept knowledge were
correlated with several positive emotional skills indicative of emotional complexity. Future
studies should focus on the study’s implications for customized therapy treatments, where
patients could improve their concept knowledge of their body and emotions and their
interoceptive sensitivity, which in turn may support improved emotional and health outcomes.

Pressure Ulcer Healing and the Impact of Nutritional Intervention
Creators: name: Schwartz, Chelsea Kaitlin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Pressure ulcers are a condition creating an epidemic of sorts within the healthcare
system, both within the United States and Internationally (Doley, 2010). While there is a
variety of research on mechanisms to prevent pressure ulcers, current pressure ulcer
prevention strategies have proven insufficient, as pressure ulcers continue to lengthen
patient hospital stays, complicate their health status, and cost the health-care industry
copious amounts of money (Joseph & Davies, 2013). If pressure ulcers cannot be
eradicated completely, it is imperative to find a way to lessen the severity of pressure
ulcers and increase their healing times, thus creating fewer health-related complications
and placing less of a burden on the health-care system. One way to do this is through the
use of supplemental nutrition, a practice that has been seemingly neglected in regard to
its’ effect on the healing of decubitus ulcers. Research indicates that certain nutrients,
such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Zinc, Glutamine, and Arginine have proven beneficial in
increasing the healing times of pressure ulcers. Such nutrients have the potential to create
a profound impact on the physiological process of healing wounds. Thus, a visual aide
known as the “Pressure Ulcer Tray for Healing” was created to guide patients, nurses,
dieticians, and all health-care personnel in facilitating adequate intake of essential
nutrients that will promote healing of ulcers. In theory, a poster of the tray would be
displayed in every patient room, in order to assist patients in ordering foods conducive to
expediting the healing process.

description: The CDMS low ionization threshold experiment (CDMSlite) uses cryogenic germanium detectors operated at a relatively high bias voltage to amplify the phonon signal in the search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). Results are presented from the second CDMSlite run with an exposure of 70 kg days, which reached an energy threshold for electron recoils as low as 56 eV. A fiducialization cut reduces backgrounds below those previously reported by CDMSlite. New parameter space for the WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross section is excluded for WIMP masses between 1.6 and 5.5 GeV/$c^2$.

Helium reionization in the presence of self-annihilating clumpy dark matter

description: The reionization of helium describes the transition from its singly ionized state to a doubly-ionized state in the intergalactic medium (IGM). This process is important for the thermal evolution of the IGM and influences the mean free path of photons with energies above $54.4$~eV. While it is well-known that helium reionization is mostly driven by the contribution of energetic quasars at $z<6$, we study here how helium reionization proceeds if there is an additional contribution due to the annihilation of dark matter. We explore the effects of different dark matter profiles for the dark matter clumping factor, which can significantly enhance the annihilation rate at late times. We find that the presence of dark matter annihilation enhances the He$^{++}$ abundance at early stages where it would be zero within the standard model, and it can further increase during structure formation, reflecting the increase of the dark matter clumping factor. The latter is, however, degenerate with the build-up of the quasar contribution, and we therefore expect no significant changes at late times. We expect that future studies of the He$^+$ Lyman $α$ forest may help to assess whether the evolution is consistent with the contribution from quasars alone, or if an additional component may be required.
