description: The deep X-ray surveys performed by the two major X-ray observatories on flight, Chandra and XMM, are being resolving the bulk of the cosmic X-ray background (XRB) in the 2-10 keV energy band, where the sky flux is dominated by extragalactic emission. Although the actual fraction depends on the absolute sky flux, which is measured with an uncertainty of ~40%, most of the XRB is already resolved. Optical identifications of the X-ray sources in the deep surveys are being showing that these are mainly AGN, most of which being obscured as predicted by population synthesis models. However, first results indicate that the redshift distribution of the sources making the XRB seems to peak at much lower redshift than predicted by the models. In this article I will briefly review and discuss the measurements of the XRB spectrum and the AGN synthesis models of the XRB. Then, I will introduce the Chandra and XMM deep X-ray surveys, mainly focusing on the Chandra Deep Field North and South. Finally, the properties of the X-ray sources populating the deep surveys will be described and compared with the predictions of the most recent synthesis models.

description: We construct a supersymmetric composite model in type IIA T^6/(Z_2 x Z_2) orientifold with intersecting D6-branes. Four generations of quarks and leptons are naturally emerged as composite fields at low energies. Two pairs of light electroweak Higgs doublets are also naturally obtained. The hierarchical Yukawa couplings for the quark-lepton masses can be generated by the interplay between the string-level higher dimensional interactions among "preons" and the dynamics of the confinement of "preons". Besides having four generations of quarks and leptons, the model is not realistic in some points: some exotic particles, one additional U(1) gauge symmetry, no explicit mechanism for supersymmetry breaking, and so on. This model is a toy model to illustrate a new mechanism of dynamical generation of Yukawa couplings for the masses and mixings of quarks and leptons.

Implementing new data management and curation services at the University of Arizona (UA): Lessons learned from the UA data management and data curation pilot
Creators: name: Kollen, Christine
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The development of efficient data management and curation services will allow researchers to devote more time to research, support the goal of developing a research data ecosystem that facilitates data reproducibility, and have a positive impact on the institution's overall prestige and success in obtaining grant funds. The University of Arizona (UA) Libraries, in collaboration with the UA Office of Research, Discovery, and Innovation and the UA University Information and Technology Services, has been providing data management services to campus for the past several years. Are we providing data management services that UA researchers need, what other services should we offer? To answer these questions, we conducted a campus survey, followed up with the Data Management and Data Curation Pilot. The pilot, working with research projects from education, wildlife biology, entomology, cancer research, and public health, provided an in-depth assessment of specific services, tools, training, support, and technology infrastructure researchers need to effectively and efficiently manage and curate their research data. This presentation will provide details on the research projects involved with the pilot, what services and tools were implemented, results of exit interviews with each research project, development of general and specific recommendations, and progress toward implementation.

description: An all-optical, near-resonant laser atom trap is used to prepare an electronically excited and polarized gas target at mK-temperature for complete photo-ionization studies. As a proof-of-principal experiment, lithium atoms in the 2$^2$P$_{3/2}$($m_l$=+1) state are ionized by a 266 nm laser source, and emitted electrons and Li$^+$ ions are momentum analyzed in a COLTRIMS spectrometer. The excellent resolution achieved in the present experiment allows not only to extract the relative phase and amplitude of all partial waves contributing to the final state, it also enables to characterize the experiment regarding target and spectrometer properties. Photo-electron angular distributions are measured for five different laser polarizations and described in a one-electron approximation with excellent agreement.

description: Humans profoundly alter fire regimes both directly, by introducing changes in fuel dynamics and ignitions, and indirectly, by increasing the release of greenhouse gases and aerosols from fires, which can alter regional climate and, as a consequence, modify fuel moisture and availability. Interactions between vegetation dynamics, regional climate change and anthropogenic pressure lead to high heterogeneity in the spatio-temporal fire distribution. We use the new FireTracks Scientific Dataset that tracks the spatio-temporal development of individual fires to analyse fire regimes in the Brazilian Legal Amazon over the period 2002–2020. We analyse fire size, duration, intensity and rate of spread in six different land-cover classes. Particular combinations of fire features determine the dominant and characteristic fire regime in each of them. We find that fires in savannas and evergreen forests burn the largest areas and are the most long lasting. Forest fires have the potential for burning at the highest intensities, whereas higher rates of spread are found in savannas. Woody savanna and grassland fires are usually affected by smaller, shorter, less-intense fires compared with fires in evergreen forest and savanna. However, fires in grasslands can burn at rates of spread as high as savanna fires as a result of the easily flammable fuel. We observe that fires in deciduous forests and croplands are generally small, short and low intense, although the latter can sustain high rates of spread due to the dry post-harvest residuals. The reconstructed fire regimes for each land cover can be used to improve the simulated fire characteristics by models and, thus, future projections.

description: Hippodonta media A. Pavlov, Levkov, D.M. Williams & Edlund, sp. nov. (Figs 156–165)
 Type:— MACEDONIA. Lake Prespa, Bay of Konjsko, mud, 2.5 m depth, 25 May 2003, collector Z. Levkov. (Accession No. MKNDC 000537; holotype: slide MKNDC! 000537/1; isotype: slide BM! 101638).
Valves elliptic-lanceolate, with not protracted, narrowly rounded to cuneate valve ends. Valve length 12.5–18.0 µm, width 4.0– 5.5 µm. Axial area narrow-linear throughout, expanding into a panduriform central area. Central area forming well-defined fascia, expanding to valve margins at middle of valve and continuously broadened towards margins. Terminal area rarely distinguishable in LM. Raphe linear to weakly curved, filiform, with slightly pronounced, simple, circular central endings. Central pores of raphe mostly closely spaced, distantly positioned only in longer size diminution stages. Terminal pores of raphe rarely discernible in LM, simple, linear and abruptly terminated. Striae coarsely structured, weakly to moderately radiate at middle, becoming parallel or weakly convergent towards valve ends. Striae evenly spaced throughout, 10–12 in 10 µm. Interstriae of equal or lower width than striae. Lineolae composing striae clearly discernible in LM view, 4–6 within a stria at middle of valve.
 Distribution:— Hippodonta media has so far only been observed in Lake Prespa, Macedonia. Lake Prespa is a calcareous, meso- to eutrophic lake (Levkov et al. 2007). This species was rarely observed in deeper littoral sediments (mixture of sand and mud or organic sediment).
 Observations:—With respect to valve outline and striae appearance, H. media resembles H. affinis (this study, Figs 192–200). Nevertheless, broader valve ends in H. affinis are consistent throughout the size diminution stages, whereas the valve ends of H. media are not clearly protracted. With regard to the valve outline, H. media is somewhat similar to H. subrostrata (this study, Figs 166–179) from Lake Ohrid. In comparison to H. subrostrata, H. media has more pronounced lineolae and central raphe endings as well as higher valve width for any given valve length.

description: Excess heat (i.e., Urban Heat Island; UHI) and other urban conditions affect tree physiology with outcomes from enhanced growth to mortality. Resilient urban forests in the face of climate change require species-specific understanding of growth responses. However, previous studies assessing growth dynamics were primarily based on remote sensing of communities rather than individuals, or relied on labor-intensive methods that can limit the spatial coverage necessary to account for highly variable urban growing conditions. Here, we analyze growth dynamics of common urban street tree species over time and across space for Berlin (Germany) combining dendroecological (temporal) and inventory assessments (spatial). First, we show annual increments increased across the 20th century for early (i.e., young) growth. Second, we use an approach relying on open inventory data to identify growth potential in relation to excess heat while accounting for age, potential management effects, and the urban fabric (i.e., planting area; building density, height; available soil nutrients) with generalized additive models for the ten most abundant species. Our analyses showed that younger trees may benefit from increased temperatures, while older individuals feature lower growth at greater UHI magnitudes. Furthermore, planting area as well as building density modulate growth responses to temperature. Lastly, we discuss management implications in the context of climate change mitigation, considering that younger trees are predominantly located at UHI “hot spots” and will undergo the observed age-dependent shift in temperature-growth sensitivity. By relying on increasingly available open data, our approach here is or will be transferable to other urban regions.

description: Controlling the directionality of emitted far-field thermal radiation is a fundamental challenge in contemporary photonics and materials research. While photonic strategies have enabled angular selectivity of thermal emission over narrow sets of bandwidths, thermal radiation is inherently a broadband phenomenon. We currently lack the ability to constrain emitted thermal radiation to arbitrary angular ranges over broad bandwidths. Here, we introduce and experimentally realize gradient epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) material structures that enable broad spectrum directional control of thermal emission by supporting leaky electromagnetic modes that couple to free space at fixed angles over a broad bandwidth. We demonstrate two emitter structures consisting of multiple semiconductor oxides in a photonic configuration that enable gradient ENZ behavior over long-wave infrared wavelengths. The structures exhibit high average emissivity (greater than 0.6 and 0.7) in the p polarization between 7.7 and 11.5 micron over an angular range of 70 deg - 85 deg, and between 10.0 to 14.3 micron over an angular range of 60 deg-75 deg, respectively. Outside these angular ranges, the emissivity dramatically drops to 0.4 at 50 deg and 40 deg. The structures broadband thermal beaming capability enables strong radiative heat transfer only at particular angles and is experimentally verified through direct measurements of thermal emission. By decoupling conventional limitations on angular and spectral response, our approach opens new possibilities for radiative heat transfer in applications such as thermal camouflaging, solar heating, radiative cooling and waste heat recovery.

The Evolution of Galaxies in and around Clusters at High-Redshift

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: In this paper, we focus on ram-pressure stripping and evaporation of disk galaxies in and around a cluster. We show that the evolution of the disk surface density affects the efficiency of ram-pressure stripping of galaxies at z>~1. We also consider the saturation of thermal conduction in detail and show that it cannot be ignored at larger radii of a cluster, which makes the time-scale of the evaporation larger. Both the ram-pressure stripping and evaporation could affect the evolution of galaxies even around a cluster. In particular, the observed gradual decline of the star-formation rates of galaxies in and around clusters could be explained by evaporation without resorting to speculative strangulation (stripping of warm gas in galactic halos).

description: The observation of the inspiral and merger of compact binaries by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration has allowed for new tests of Einstein's theory in the extreme gravity regime, where gravitational interactions are simultaneously strong, non-linear, and dynamical. Theories beyond Einstein's can also be constrained by detecting the polarization modes of gravitational waves. In this paper, we show that dynamical Chern-Simons and Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet gravity cannot be differentiated from general relativity based on the detection of polarization modes alone. To prove this result, we use the Newman-Penrose method and an irreducible decomposition method to find that only the tensorial modes can be detected in both these theories.

description: The importance of goal-setting within training for enhancing performance has been touted in the literature. Goal-setting theory suggests that setting a moderately difficult, specific goal results in a modest goal-performance discrepancy between the trainee's goal and actual performance level. Such a discrepancy has been found to enhance subsequent performance, as the trainee will employ greater effort and task engagement to resolve the discrepancy. However, research has also shown that the motivating effect of a discrepancy will reverse with repeated feedback indicating that one's performance has fallen short of the desired goal. To date, no prior research has examined the effect that a single large goal-performance discrepancy has on subsequent performance. This study sought to elucidate this relationship, its underlying mechanisms, as well as provide a remedy for mitigating this hypothesized negative effect. Data collected from 206 undergraduate participants, who completed a videogame-based training program, were used to test the study hypotheses. As hypothesized, a large initial goal-performance discrepancy was found to have a negative impact on subsequent performance; however, the hypothesized role of self-regulation as the mechanism underlying this relationship was not supported. These results suggest that during the initial stages of training, training performance was hindered for trainees who set unrealistically difficult goals and thus failed to reach their self-set goal. Unrealistic self set goals may negate the organization's monetary investment in the training. Fortunately, this study also demonstrated a simple solution; providing goal-setting advisement was found to help trainees successfully set lower, more accurate, initial goals and therefore experience a lower goal-performance discrepancy, as compared to trainees who did not receive the advisement. Additional practical implications and future directions are discussed.

description: Both observations of arc-like structures and luminosity bursts of stars > 1 Myr in age indicate that at least some stars undergo late infall events. We investigate scenarios of replenishing the mass reservoir around a star via capturing and infalling events of cloudlets. We carry out altogether 24 three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of cloudlet encounters with a Herbig star of mass 2.5 solar mass using the moving mesh code AREPO. To account for the two possibilities of a star or a cloudlet traveling through the interstellar medium (ISM), we put either the star or the cloudlet at rest with respect to the background gas. For absent cooling in the adiabatic runs, almost none of the cloudlet gas is captured due to high thermal pressure. However, second-generation disks easily form when accounting for cooling of the gas. The disk radii range from several 100 au to about 1000 au and associated arc-like structures up to 10 000 au in length form around the star for runs with and without stellar irradiation. Consistent with angular momentum conservation, the arcs and disks are larger for larger impact parameters. Accounting for turbulence in the cloudlet only mildly changes the model outcome. In the case of the star being at rest with the background gas, the disk formation and mass replenishment process is more pronounced and the associated arc-shaped streamers are longer-lived. The results of our models confirm that late encounter events lead to the formation of transitional disks associated with arc-shaped structures such as observed for AB Aurigae or HD 100546. In addition, we find that second-generation disks and their associated filamentary arms are longer lived (>100 000 yrs) in infall events, when the star is at rest with the background gas.

description: With the advent of the nanosat/cubesat revolution, new opportunities have appeared to develop and launch small ($\sim$\ts 1000 cm$^3$), low-cost ($\sim$\ts US\$ 1M) experiments in space in very short timeframes ($\sim$ 2\ts years). In the field of high-energy astrophysics, in particular, it is a considerable challenge to design instruments with compelling science and competitive capabilities that can fit in very small satellite buses such as a cubesat platform, and operate them with very limited resources. Here we describe a hard X-ray (30--200\ts keV) experiment, LECX ("Localizador de Explosões Cósmicas de Raios X" -- Locator of X-Ray Cosmic Explosions), that is capable of detecting and localizing within a few degrees events like Gamma-Ray Bursts and other explosive phenomena in a 2U-cubesat platform, at a rate of $\sim${\bf 5 events year$^{-1}$.} In the current gravitational wave era of astronomy, a constellation or swarm of small spacecraft carrying instruments such as LECX can be a very cost-effective way to search for electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave events produced by the coalescence of compact objects.

Note on Exponents Associated with Y-Systems

description: Let $(X_n,\ell)$ be the pair consisting of the Dynkin diagram of finite type $X_n$ and a positive integer $\ell\geq2$, called the level. Then we obtain the Y-system, which is the set of algebraic relations associated with this pair. Related to the Y-system, a sequence of integers called exponents is defined through a quiver derived from the pair $(X_n,\ell)$. Mizuno provided conjectured formulas for the exponents associated with Y-systems in [Mizuno Y., SIGMA 16 (2020), 028, 42 pages, arXiv:1812.05863]. In this paper, we study the exponents associated with level 2 Y-systems for classical Dynkin types. As a result, we present proofs of Mizuno's conjecture for $(B_n,2)$ and $(D_n,2)$, and give a reformulation for $(C_n,2)$.
Does it Really Matter? Presidential Rhetoric and Framing and its Effect on State Marijuana Policy Diffusion.
Creators: name: Stevenson, Dana
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description:
The topic of marijuana prohibition has been a subject of discussion in the United States for more than a century. As the president of the United States is typically viewed as a figure who can influence policies in the country without legislative authority, I conducted a historical analysis of presidential statements and speeches regarding marijuana and drug policy implementation. I also investigated the impact of the president's words on the diffusion of marijuana policy across states. To do this, I reviewed speeches by presidents and searched for legislative issues related to marijuana from 1970 to 2023. By placing these events on a timeline, I observed a correlation between the presidents statements on marijuana policy and subsequent state actions.
Toward Fine-grained Facial Expression Manipulation

description: Facial expression manipulation aims at editing facial expression with a given condition. Previous methods edit an input image under the guidance of a discrete emotion label or absolute condition (e.g., facial action units) to possess the desired expression. However, these methods either suffer from changing condition-irrelevant regions or are inefficient for fine-grained editing. In this study, we take these two objectives into consideration and propose a novel method. First, we replace continuous absolute condition with relative condition, specifically, relative action units. With relative action units, the generator learns to only transform regions of interest which are specified by non-zero-valued relative AUs. Second, our generator is built on U-Net but strengthened by Multi-Scale Feature Fusion (MSF) mechanism for high-quality expression editing purposes. Extensive experiments on both quantitative and qualitative evaluation demonstrate the improvements of our proposed approach compared to the state-of-the-art expression editing methods.

Juvenile Curfews in Metro Atlanta: A Case Study and Content Analysis of Laws, Arrests, and Victimizations
Creators: name: Berry, Olivia
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2023

description:
This thesis aims to analyze how juvenile curfew laws in Metro Atlanta affect juveniles compared to case studies in the literature. The research focuses on 11 Metro Atlanta counties with and without these laws. This study is primarily qualitative and designed to draw attention to the makeup of juvenile curfew laws, potential consequences, and how the situation in Metro Atlanta may differ from other regions. By utilizing data on juvenile crime and victimization sourced from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations Crime Statistics Database, in tandem with the language of each curfew law, this study explores the potential impacts of these laws. This qualitative study provides the framework for a larger study on curfew laws in Georgia and explores the importance of evidence-based policymaking when legislating on juvenile issues.

description: We introduce scanning-probe-assisted nanowire circuitry (SPANC) as a new method to fabricate electrodes for the characterization of electrical transport properties at the nanoscale. SPANC uses an atomic force microscope (AFM) to manipulate nanowires to create complex and highly conductive nanostructures (paths) that work as nanoelectrodes, allowing connectivity and electrical characterization of other nano-objects. The paths are formed by the spontaneous cold welding of gold nanowires upon mechanical contact, leading to an excellent contact resistance of about 9 Ohms/junction. SPANC is an easy to use and cost-effective technique that fabricates clean nanodevices. Hence, this new method can complement and/or be an alternative to other well-established methods to fabricate nanocircuits such as electron beam lithography (EBL). The circuits made by SPANC are easily reconfigurable, and their fabrication does not require the use of polymers and chemicals. In this work, we present a few examples that illustrate the capabilities of this method, allowing robust device fabrication and electrical characterization of several nano-objects with sizes down to aprox. 10 nm, well below the current smallest size able to be contacted in a device using the standard available technology (around 30 nm). Importantly, we also provide the first experimental determination of the sheet resistance of thin antimonene flakes.
RDM roadmap to the future, Or, Lords and Ladies of the data

description: This is a story about a university's brave and dogged journey in research data management service provision. Like the Lord of the Rings, the story has three parts, as indicated by the production of its first, second and third research data management strategic roadmaps. Since part 1 and 2 have been told at a different place and time (http://dx.doi.org/10.2218/ijdc.v6i2.199; http://dx.doi.org/10.2218/ijdc.v8i2.283), this story will focus on part 3, the University of Edinburgh Research Data Service Roadmap: August 2017-July 2020, approved and made public by the service's steering group. The team designated to deliver the outcomes is made up of intrepid adventurers from across the data, library and computing shires of the university. The narrator -- one of the shorter, brown-haired members, a data librarian being without any magical powers -- was tasked with leading the delegation on the journey, through 32 challenging objectives with associated actions, milestones and deliverables (https://www.ed.ac.uk/is/rdm-roadmap). Five overarching themes characterise the Roadmap: Unification of the service, data management planning, working with active data, data stewardship, and research data support. If the many frightening and powerful challenges can be overcome, then surely victory will be grasped like a ring!

description: The radio counterparts to the 15-micron sources in the European Large Area ISO Survey southern fields are identified in 1.4-GHz maps down to about 80 microJy. The radio-MIR correlation is investigated and derived for the first time at these flux densities for a sample of this size. Our results show that radio and MIR luminosities correlate almost as well as radio and FIR, at least up to z ~ 0.6. Using the derived relation and its spread together with the observed 15-micron counts, we have estimated the expected contribution of the 15-micron extragalactic populations to the radio source counts and the role of MIR starburst galaxies in the well known 1.4-GHz source excess observed at sub-mJy levels. Our analysis demonstrates that IR emitting starburst galaxies do not contribute significantly to the 1.4-GHz counts for strong sources, but start to become a significant fraction of the radio source population at flux densities < 0.5 - 0.8 mJy. They are expected to be responsible for more than 60% of the observed radio counts at < 0.05 mJy. These results are in agreement with the existing results on optical identifications of faint radio sources.

A Recent Starbust in the Low Surface Brightness Galaxy UGC 628

description: We present the star-formation history of the low surface brightness (LSB) galaxy UGC 628 as part of the MUSCEL program (MUltiwavelength observations of the Structure, Chemistry, and Evolution of LSB galaxies). The star-formation histories of LSB galaxies represent a significant gap in our knowledge of galaxy assembly, with implications for dark matter / baryon feedback, IGM gas accretion, and the physics of star formation in low metallicity environments. Our program uses ground-based IFU spectra in tandem with space-based UV and IR imaging to determine the star-formation histories of LSB galaxies in a spatially resolved fashion. In this work we present the fitted history of our first target to demonstrate our techniques and methodology. Our technique splits the history of this galaxy into 15 semi-logarithmically spaced timesteps. Within each timestep the star-formation rate of each spaxel is assumed constant. We then determine the set of 15 star-formation rates that best recreate the spectra and photometry measured in each spaxel. Our main findings with respect to UGC 628 are: a) the visible properties of UGC 628 have varied over time, appearing as a high surface brightness spiral earlier than 8 Gyr ago and a starburst galaxy during a recent episode of star formation several tens of Myr ago, b) the central bar/core region was established early, around 8-10 Gyr ago, but has been largely inactive since, and c) star formation in the past 3 Gyr is best characterised as patchy and sporadic.
