title: The Effects of Spoken Self-Disclosure Scripts on Nonaphasic Listeners' Perceptions of People with Aphasia
Creators: name: Ward, Colleen B
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of spoken self-disclosure scripts on nonaphasic listeners’ perceptions of people with aphasia (PWA). Self-disclosure is a tool that PWA can utilize in the event that they want a conversation partner to know of their communication disorder. However, limited research has been conducted on the effects of aphasia self-disclosure or whether it affects perceptions of PWA from neurotypical communication partners. If self-disclosure is determined to make a positive impact on a communicative interaction, it could be grounds for encouraging PWA who are interested to develop a self-disclosure script or use an aphasia identification card.
Methods: 239 middle-aged adults participated in this study, which was a remote survey conducted on Qualtrics via Prolific. Aphasia self-disclosure scripts from two speakers (one female and one male), as well as neutral scripts from the same two speakers, were used as stimuli. After hearing either the self-disclosure or the neutral script, participants were asked to rate various speaker attributes (i.e., intelligence, confidence, friendliness, and kindness), as well as their own experience (i.e., engagement, patience, comfort, and ease of listening) while listening to the speaker.
Results: Overall, the listeners who heard the aphasia self-disclosure scripts rated the speakers’ attributes more highly than the listeners who heard the script containing neutral information. In addition, those in the self-disclosure listening group rated their listening experience more highly than the group of participants who received the neutral information. The aphasia self-disclosure script appeared to have a larger effect on perceptions of the male speaker as compared to the female speaker.
Conclusion: Nonaphasic listeners’ attitudes about PWA, as well as their listening experience, improve when spoken self-disclosure is involved in communication. Future research should examine the impact of self-disclosure on remote and in-person interactions between neurotypical individuals and PWA, as well as investigate the effectiveness of implementing virtual Communication Partner Training (CPT) programs.

description: In iterative system-matrix-based reconstruction in Magnetic Particle Imaging, three major parameters control the amount of regularization. Finding the right choice for these parameters is commonly done by user input and requires time and experience. We propose a method that enables automatic reconstruction and achieves good results on a measured concentration series.

Mode Mixing and Rotational Splittings: I. Near-Degeneracy Effects Revisited

description: Rotation is typically assumed to induce strictly symmetric rotational splitting into the rotational multiplets of pure p- and g-modes. However, for evolved stars exhibiting mixed modes, avoided crossings between different multiplet components are known to yield asymmetric rotational splitting, particularly for near-degenerate mixed-mode pairs, where notional pure p-modes are fortuitiously in resonance with pure g-modes. These near-degeneracy effects have been described in subgiants, but their consequences for the characterisation of internal rotation in red giants has not previously been investigated in detail, in part owing to theoretical intractability. We employ new developments in the analytic theory of mixed-mode coupling to study these near-resonance phenomena. In the vicinity of the most p-dominated mixed modes, the near-degenerate intrinsic asymmetry from pure rotational splitting increases dramatically over the course of stellar evolution, and depends strongly on the mode mixing fraction $ζ$. We also find that a linear treatment of rotation remains viable for describing the underlying p- and g-modes, even when it does not for the resulting mixed modes undergoing these avoided crossings. We explore observational consequences for potential measurements of asymmetric mixed-mode splitting, which has been proposed as a magnetic-field diagnostic. Finally, we propose improved measurement techniques for rotational characterisation, exploiting the linearity of rotational effects on the underlying p/g modes, while still accounting for these mixed-mode coupling effects.

description: We show that pivoting property of graph states cannot be derived from the axioms of the ZX-calculus, and that pivoting does not imply local complementation of graph states. Therefore the ZX-calculus augmented with pivoting is strictly weaker than the calculus augmented with the Euler decomposition of the Hadamard gate. We derive an angle-free version of the ZX-calculus and show that it is complete for real stabilizer quantum mechanics.

Year: 2023

description: The frame rate of an MPI measurement can be increased by splitting the receive signal and reconstructing the split signals separately. Thus, motion artefacts can be reduced. Splitting the signal results in a decreased spectral resolution and a mismatch of higher harmonics. In this contribution, an approach for recovering the spectral resolution and higher harmonics is shown that is based on mirroring the split signals.

description: We search for the reasons behind the spectroscopic diversity of hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) in the pre-maximum phase. Our analysis is a continuation of the paper of \citet{ktr21}, who disclosed two new subtypes of SLSNe-I characterized by the presence/absence of a W-shaped absorption feature in their pre-maximum spectra between 4000 and 5000 Å(called Type~W and Type~15bn, respectively). However, the physical cause of this bimodality is still uncertain. Here we present pre-maximum spectral synthesis of 27 SLSNe-I with special attention to the photospheric temperature ($T_{ \rm phot}$) and velocity ($v_{ \rm phot}$) evolution. We find that a $T_{\rm phot}$ limit of 12000~K separates the Type~W and Type~15bn SLSNe-I: Type~W objects tend to show $T_{\rm phot}\geq$12000~K, while Type~15bn ones have $T_{\rm phot} \leq$12000~K. This is consistent with the chemical composition of the studied objects. Another difference between these groups may be found in their ejecta geometry: Type W SLSNe-I may show null-polarization, implying spherical symmetry, while the polarization of Type 15bn objects may increase in time. This suggests a two-component model with a spherical outer carbon-oxygen layer and an asymmetric inner layer containing heavier ions. The two subgroups may have different light curve evolution as well, since 6 Type~W objects show early bumps, unlike Type 15bn SLSNe-I. This feature, however, needs further study, as it is based on only a few objects at present.

title: Impact Of Oxybenzone On Innate Immune Signaling
Creators: name: Medeiros, Brenda S
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: EDCs are commonly thought to bind or interfere with estrogen, androgen, progesterone, thyroid, and retinoid receptors. Oxybenzone is considered to be an endocrine-disrupting chemical and approximately 97% of people in the United States were found to have BP3 in their urine. This thesis will address how BP3 affects the innate immune system, in particular myeloid cells. My Master’s thesis aims to address two main overarching questions. Does BP3 alter macrophage polarization, cytokine/chemokine secretion, the viability in vitro? Does exposure to BP3 in vivo during pregnancy/lactation affect the RNA expression of cytokines and immunosuppressant factors associated with the myeloid population? It is unknown how BP3 impacts immune subpopulations in a neoplastic setting. Additionally, it is important to consider how these effects may contribute to malignant behaviors. My thesis evaluates the effects of BP3 on the Raw 264.7 cell lines as well as tumor tissues from mice exposed to BP3 during pregnancy and lactation. We hypothesized that BP3 exposures induce changes in myeloid cell interactions in the immune system through ER-mediated mechanisms. We anticipated that BP3 would increase the growth and migration of 4T1 cells through indirect signals imparted by myeloid cell populations. We also hypothesized that there will be a decrease in T cell proliferation following BP3 exposure and an alteration in gene expression consistent with a shift from Th1 to Th2. Finally, we expected that BP3 exposure would increase the number of myeloid cells in mouse tumors. Our research shows that oxybenzone appears to enhance the pro-inflammatory state of RAW264.7 cells and may result in the release of unidentified factors that can impact 4T1 cell anchorage-independent cell growth in these pro-inflammatory conditions. BP3 may also impact the metabolic activity of recovering RAW264.7 cells following LPS-induced activity. Additionally, BP3 may impact the release of factors from macrophages that control T cell activation-induced proliferation. By using the p53-/- mouse tumors we found that exposure to 3mg/kg/day BP3 during pregnancy and lactation did alter IDO1 RNA expression but this was not associated with markers of immunosuppressive cell types.

description: We generalize regular subdivisions (polyhedral complexes resulting from the projection of the lower faces of a polyhedron) introducing the class of recursively-regular subdivisions. Informally speaking, a recursively-regular subdivision is a subdivision that can be obtained by splitting some faces of a regular subdivision by other regular subdivisions (and continue recursively). We also define the \emph{finest regular coarsening} and the \emph{regularity tree} of a polyhedral complex. We prove that recursively-regular subdivisions are not necessarily connected by flips and that they are acyclic with respect to the in-front relation. We show that the finest regular coarsening of a subdivision can be efficiently computed, and that whether a subdivision is recursively regular can be efficiently decided. As an application, we also extend a theorem known since 1981 on illuminating space by cones and present connections of recursive regularity to tensegrity theory and graph-embedding problems.

description: The aim of this work is to study asymptotically and numerically the interaction of solitons with an external forcing with variable speed using the forced modified Korteweg-de Vries equation (mKdV). We show that the asymptotic predictions agree well with numerical solutions for forcing with constant speed and linear variable speed. Regarding forcing with linear variable speed, we find regimes in which the solitons are trapped at the external forcing and its amplitude increases or decreases in time depending on whether the forcing accelerates or decelerates.

description: The advent of modern, high-speed electron detectors has made the collection of multidimensional hyperspectral transmission electron microscopy datasets, such as 4D-STEM, a routine. However, many microscopists find such experiments daunting since such datasets' analysis, collection, long-term storage, and networking remain challenging. Some common issues are the large and unwieldy size of the said datasets, often running into several gigabytes, non-standardized data analysis routines, and a lack of clarity about the computing and network resources needed to utilize the electron microscope fully. However, the existing computing and networking bottlenecks introduce significant penalties in each step of these experiments, and thus, real-time analysis-driven automated experimentation for multidimensional TEM is exceptionally challenging. One solution is integrating microscopy with edge computing, where moderately powerful computational hardware performs the preliminary analysis before handing off the heavier computation to HPC systems. In this perspective, we trace the roots of computation in modern electron microscopy, demonstrate deep learning experiments running on an edge system, and discuss the networking requirements for tying together microscopes, edge computers, and HPC systems.

title: Application of bacteriophage-displayed peptide libraries to study polysaccharide antigens of Aeromonas salmonicida
Creators: name: McCafferty, Calum Angus
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1998

description: This thesis describes the application of bacteriophage displayed peptide libraries to the salmonid fish pathogen Aeromonas salmonicida. Antisera to both the capsular polysaccharide and lipopolysaccharide of A. salmonicida were used to select phage from 6-mer and 15-mer bacteriophage peptide libraries displayed in the p III protein of bacteriophage fd tet. When rabbit polyclonal anti-capsular polysaccharide antiserum was used for selection of phage from the 6-mer library, 140 phage were recovered by elution with glycine /HCl buffer (first round elution) and capsular polysaccharide solution in the second and third round of elution. Phage were amplified to high concentration and analysed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the insert sequences determined Biopanning with anti-capsular polysaccharide antiserum selected a range of phage with peptide insert sequences which contained similar 3 to 4 amino acid motifs. The most predominant motif was 'serine-glycine-serine'. ELISA demonstrated that several of these phage bound to anti-capsular polysaccharide antiserum suggesting that these phage peptide sequences might antigenically mimic some capsular polysaccharide epitopes to which antibodies were present in the antiserum. A monoclonal antibody to A. salmonicida lipopolysaccharide was also used for biopanning with the 6-mer library and this selected phage with sequences which could be classified into groups, several containing identical sequences and others with similar motifs. ELISA assays to detect binding of these phage to lipopolysaccharide antiserum were inconclusive. Several selected with anti-lipopolysaccharide monoclonal antibody displayed peptides similar to those selected by polyclonal anti-capsular polysaccharide antiserum, which may reflect the similar monosaccharide composition of these related polysaccharides.

Pseudogap in Cuprates and other Metals or How to Almost Elude Bloch's Theorem

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The loop-current state discovered in under-doped cuprates is characterized by a vector ${\bf Ω}$ which has four possible orientations which correspond to different domains of order in a perfect sample. Since translational symmetry remains unchanged in the pure limit, no gap occurs at the chemical potential. On the other hand Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has revealed that the magnitude of the pseudo-gap in under-doped cuprates varies spatially and is correlated with disorder. For disorder coupling also to the direction of ${\bf Ω}$, there can only be a finite temperature dependent static correlation length for the loop-current state below the ordering temperature of the pure problem. It is shown that, in this situation, singular forward scattering of fermions for large correlation lengths induces an angle dependent pseudo-gap in the single-particle spectral function near the chemical potential. The peaks in the spectral function at the fermi-vectors are away from the chemical potential proportionally to the square of the average loop order parameter measurable by polarized neutron scattering. This result is tested. Due to the finite correlation length there always exist low frequency excitations at long wavelength at all temperatures in the "ordered" phase. Such fluctuations motionally average over the shifts in frequencies of local probes such as NMR and muon resonance expected for a truly static order.

description: In this work system-matrix based reconstruction in the context of magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is performed using 2D simulated system matrices and phantoms to study the effects of different approaches in the reconstruction chain. As an example, multi color reconstruction at different temperatures is chosen to show how the approach itself changes the reconstruction. It will be shown that a simple and trivial detail has important consequences for the reconstruction algorithms not only halving the number of unknowns but also giving commonly used solvers for the minimization problem a chance to converge to similar solutions.

description: We study Wigner crystallization of electron systems in phosphorene quantum dots with confinement of an electrostatic origin with both circular and elongated geometry. The anisotropy of the effective mass allows for the formation of Wigner molecules in the laboratory frame with a confined charge density that has lower symmetry than the confinement potential. We find that in circular quantum dots separate single-electron islands are formed for two and four confined electrons but not for three trapped carriers. The spectral signatures of the Wigner crystallization to be resolved by transport spectroscopy are discussed. Systems with Wigner molecule states are characterized by a nearly degenerate ground state at $B=0$ and are easily spin-polarized by the external magnetic field. In electron systems for which the single-electron islands are not formed, a more even distribution of excited states at $B=0$ is observed, and the confined system undergoes ground state symmetry transitions at magnetic fields of the order of 1 Tesla. The system of five electrons in a circular quantum dot is indicated as a special case with two charge configurations that appear in the ground-state as the magnetic field is changed: one with the single electron islands formed in the laboratory frame and the other where only the pair-correlation function in the inner coordinates of the system has a molecular form as for three electrons. The formation of Wigner molecules of quasi-1D form is easier for the orientation of elongated quantum dots along the zigzag direction with heavier electron mass. The smaller electron effective mass along the armchair direction allows for freezing out the transverse degree of freedom in the electron motion.

description: Stellar oscillations can be of topological origin. We reveal this deep and so-far hidden property of stars by establishing a novel parallel between stars and topological insulators. We construct an hermitian problem to derive the expression of the stellar $\mathrm{\textit{acoustic-buoyant}}$ frequency $S$ of non-radial adiabatic pulsations. A topological analysis then connects the changes of sign of the acoustic-buoyant frequency to the existence of Lamb-like waves within the star. These topological modes cross the frequency gap and behave as gravity modes at low harmonic degree $\ell$ and as pressure modes at high $\ell$. $S$ is found to change sign at least once in the bulk of most stellar objects, making topological modes ubiquitous across the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram. Some topological modes are also expected to be trapped in regions where the internal structure varies strongly locally.

description: Hip-Hop Culture emerged in the early 1970s from Black and Latinx youth living in the South Bronx. At the time, the Bronx was stereotyped as the nation’s iconic “ghetto”. However, as in many of the nation’s cities, the built environment that defined the Bronx was a product of ghettoization that marginalized African Americans through confinement and overcrowding of urban centers; exclusions from mortgage loans and home ownership; and the redistribution of resources.  
Hip-Hop Culture allowed marginalized communities to reclaim the built environment through repurpose of space and found materials; it creates opportunities for self-sufficiency; and establishes a community around the ethos of peace, love and having fun that mitigated street violence.
As the research makes palpable the impact the built environment has had on Black and Latinx communities, my intent is to turn the table and illustrate how the defining elements of Hip-Hop Culture can influence a design rooted in equity and social justice through the proposal of a Hip-Hop Youth Center in Springfield, Massachusetts; a facility that supports underserved youth in their creative endeavors and entrepreneurship.

We then propose an empirical method that enables signal prediction at unmeasured DF frequencies.

description: We present a set of studies that tested the hypothesis that creative style is recognizable within and across domains. Art students were shown two sets of paintings, the first by five famous artists and the second by their art student peers. For both sets, they guessed the creators of the works at above-chance levels. In a similar study, creative writing students guessed at above-chance levels which passages were written by which of five famous writers, and which passages were written by which of their writing student peers. When creative writing students were asked to produce works of art, they guessed at above-chance levels which of their peers produced which artwork. Finally, art students who were familiar with each other's paintings guessed at above-chance levels which of their peers produced which non-painting artwork. The findings support the hypothesis that creative styles are recognizable not just within but also across domains. We suggest this is because all of an individual's creative outputs are expressions of a particular underlying uniquely structured self-organizing internal model of the world.

description: Because many classical Be stars may owe their nature to mass and angular-momentum transfer in a close binary, the present masses, temperatures, and radii of their components are of high interest for comparison to stellar evolution models. Kappa Dra is a 61.5-day single-lined binary with a B6 IIIe primary. With the CHARA Array instruments MIRC/MIRC-X and MYSTIC, we detected the secondary at (approximately photospheric) flux ratios of 1.49 +- 0.10% and 1.63 +- 0.09% in the H and K band, respectively. From a large and diverse optical spectroscopic database only the radial velocity curve of the Be star could be extracted. However, employing the parallaxes from Hipparcos and Gaia, which agree within their nominal 1-sigma errors, we could derive the total mass and found component masses of 3.65 +- 0.48 Msun and 0.426 +- 0.043 Msun for the Be star and the companion, respectively. Previous cross-correlation of the observed far-UV spectrum with sdO spectral model templates had not detected a companion belonging to the hot O-type subdwarf (sdO) population known from ~20 earlier-type Be stars. Guided by our full 3D orbital solution, we found a strong cross-correlation signal for a stripped subdwarf B-type companion (far-UV flux ratio of 2.3 +- 0.5%), enabling the first firm characterization of such a star, and making kappa Dra the first mid- to late-type Be star with a directly-observed subdwarf companion.

description: Using no conventional measurements in position space, information extraction rates exceeding one bit per photon are achieved by employing high-dimensional correlated orbital angular momentum (OAM) states for object recognition. The correlations are shown to be insensitive to axial rotation of the target object: the information structure of an object's joint OAM coincidence spectrum is unchanged even when the object undergoes random rotations between each measurement. Additionally, OAM correlations alone are shown to be sufficient for full image reconstruction of complex, off-axis objects, and novel object symmetries are observed in the phases of OAM-object interaction transition amplitudes. Variations in mutual information rates, due to off-axis translation in the beam field, are studied, and it is shown that object symmetry signatures and information rates are independent of environmental factors sufficiently far from the beam center. The results motivate dynamic scanning applications in contexts where symmetry and small numbers of noninvasive measurements are desired.

description: This thesis provides an extensive examination of the evidence and impact of three decades of development-led archaeological work in county Mayo on the western Irish Atlantic seaboard. The research makes a significant and original contribution to knowledge, creating a new baseline dataset for prehistoric enquiry in Mayo. The work involved rigorous, systematic research, sourcing, evaluating and contextualising a vast body of development-led data, distributed within ‘grey literature’, unpublished excavation, monitoring and testing reports, archives, radiocarbon certificates, specialist reports and information held privately by archaeologists. The research examined how development-led archaeology came to dominate archaeological practice in Mayo, Ireland and globally. Taking a historiographical approach, the path of scholarly enquiry in Mayo was charted through an evaluation of myth histories, pseudohistorical narratives, scholarly antiquarianism and early scientific archaeological investigations. Understanding the evolution of development-led archaeology necessitated a global perspective, demonstrating how when faced with threats to the finite archaeological resource archaeologists adapted, evolving from concepts of ‘rescue’ and ‘salvage’, to structured, mandated archaeological mitigation. This research is the first stand-alone prehistoric examination of Mayo as a region. The results show that development-led archaeological activity in Mayo has been transformative, providing a critical mass of well-dated settlement evidence, impacting every period of Mayo’s prehistory. It provides the first indications of Early Mesolithic activity in Mayo, refining Neolithic periodisation and expanding domestic settlement evidence. It reveals empirical Chalcolithic data, a vast and varied range of Bronze Age settlement indicators and the first block of datable Iron Age settlement evidence from Mayo. The information in this PhD thesis is a research contribution of broad interest especially to those working on the prehistory of Mayo and the west of Ireland. The data contained in this volume can be used and built upon into the future, feeding into wider prehistoric research in Ireland and beyond.

description: At the first glance the question sounds funny. Some economists might perhaps say "All You need is Cash". But from the mathematical point of view there is indeed a serious reason to reflect on the internal structure of games. Apart from the Nash solution for non-cooperative games, the concept of Correlated Equilibrium has been studied in the past. This approach makes sense in the context of a Bayesian information model. Moreover, it provides a more general approach to equilibrium for noncooperative games than the original Nash solution, and it has some computational advantages compared to this, because the solutions can be found by standard linear programming methods. The concept of Correlated Equilibrium was introduced by R. Aumann in 1987. In extensive form games existence of Nash Equilibrium is ensured under weak assumptions and implies the existence of Correlated Equilibrium at the same time. The present paper concerns some of the special features of Correlated Equilibrium in the context of extensive form games and the relationship between both concepts. We try to keep the argumentation as elementary as possible to arouse interest in younger researchers for this topic.

description: Accurate modeling of the mean magnetic moment of an ensemble of magnetic particles in dynamic magnetic fields is a challenging task that requires sophisticated differential equation solvers. However, these methods are computationally costly and therefore not practical for long excitation sequences such as those of the Lissajous type. In this paper we propose to accelerate simulations by using a neural network mapping from the input parameter functions that are applied to the original particle simulator directly to the mean magnetic moment output function. The architecture of the neural network is based on the Fourier neural operator, which allows to train mappings between function spaces. Our results show that the particle simulation can be accelerated by a factor of about 200 while the relative error of the neural network simulator remains below 1.5%.

description: This paper considers the problem of variable-length coding over a discrete memoryless channel (DMC) with noiseless feedback. The paper provides a stochastic control view of the problem whose solution is analyzed via a newly proposed symmetrized divergence, termed extrinsic Jensen-Shannon (EJS) divergence. It is shown that strictly positive lower bounds on EJS divergence provide non-asymptotic upper bounds on the expected code length. The paper presents strictly positive lower bounds on EJS divergence, and hence non-asymptotic upper bounds on the expected code length, for the following two coding schemes: variable-length posterior matching and MaxEJS coding scheme which is based on a greedy maximization of the EJS divergence. As an asymptotic corollary of the main results, this paper also provides a rate-reliability test. Variable-length coding schemes that satisfy the condition(s) of the test for parameters $R$ and $E$, are guaranteed to achieve rate $R$ and error exponent $E$. The results are specialized for posterior matching and MaxEJS to obtain deterministic one-phase coding schemes achieving capacity and optimal error exponent. For the special case of symmetric binary-input channels, simpler deterministic schemes of optimal performance are proposed and analyzed.

Developing Machine Learning-Based Algorithms: Classification and Regression

description: The curse of dimensionality causes well-known and widely discussed problems for machine learning methods. There is a hypothesis that using the Manhattan distance and even fractional lp quasinorms (for p less than 1) can help to overcome this curse in classification problems. In this thesis (chapter 3), this hypothesis is systematically tested. We demonstrated that fractional norms and quasinorms do not help to overcome the curse of dimensionality. A second strand of the thesis is to investigate a series of linear regression models based on different loss functions, in order to analyse the robustness of the coefficients across all models under consideration. This led us to propose a new, robust Piecewise Quadratic Sub Quadratic (PQSQ) regression model (chapter 4). The proposed method combines the advantages of the PQSQ-L1 and PQSQ-L2 loss functions, which yield the proposed PQSQ-Huber method. The thesis also includes the investigation of linear regression models in the presence of multicollinearity and outliers in a dataset. The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimator is unstable and displays a large variance of coefficients, or its solution may even not exist. Thus, several regularisation methods, including ridge regression (RR), can reduce the variance of the OLS coefficients, at the cost of introducing some bias. However, ridge regression is also based on the minimization of a quadratic loss function, which is sensitive to outliers. As a result, we proposed novel robust ridge regression estimators based on the PQSQ function (chapter 5).

description: This paper reviews and clarifies five misunderstandings about cultural evolution identified by Henrich, Boyd, and Richerson (2008). First, cultural representations are neither discrete nor continuous; they are distributed across neurons that respond to microfeatures. This enables associations to be made, and cultural change to be generated. Second, 'replicator dynamics' do not ensure natural selection. The replicator notion does not capture the distinction between actively interpreted self-assembly code and passively copied self-description, which leads to a fundamental principle of natural selection: inherited information is transmitted, whereas acquired information is not. Third, this principle is violated in culture by the ubiquity of acquired change. Moreover, biased transmission is less important to culture than the creative processes by which novelty is generated. Fourth, there is no objective basis for determining cultural fitness. Fifth, the necessity of randomness is discussed. It is concluded that natural selection is inappropriate as an explanatory framework for culture.

description: We derive refined rigorous error estimates for approximate solutions of Sturm-Liouville and Riccati equations with real or complex potentials. The approximate solutions include WKB approximations, Airy and parabolic cylinder functions, and certain Bessel functions. Our estimates are applied to solutions of the angular Teukolsky equation with a complex aspherical parameter in a rotating black hole Kerr geometry.
