description: The nature, composition, abundance, and size distribution of dust in galaxies is determined by the rate at which it is created in the different stellar sources and destroyed by interstellar shocks. Because of their extensive wavelength coverage, proximity, and nearly face-on geometry, the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) provide a unique opportunity to study these processes in great detail. In this paper we use the complete sample of supernova remnants (SNRs) in the MCs to calculate the lifetime and destruction efficiencies of silicate and carbon dust in these galaxies. We find dust lifetimes of 22 +- 13 Myr (30 +- 17 Myr) for silicate (carbon) grains in the LMC, and 54 +- 32 Myr (72 +- 43 Myr) for silicate (carbon) grains in the SMC. The significantly shorter lifetimes in the MCs, as compared to the Milky Way, are explained as the combined effect of their lower total dust mass, and the fact that the dust-destroying isolated SNe in the MCs seem to be preferentially occurring in regions with higher than average dust-to-gas (D2G) mass ratios. We also calculate the supernova rate and the current star formation rate in the MCs, and use them to derive maximum dust injection rates by asymptotic giant branch stars and core collapse supernovae. We find that the injection rates are an order of magnitude lower than the dust destruction rates by the SNRs. This supports the conclusion that, unless the dust destruction rates have been considerably overestimated, most of the dust must be reconstituted from surviving grains in dense molecular clouds. More generally, we also discuss the dependence of the dust destruction rate on the local D2G mass ratio, the ambient gas density and metallicity, as well as the application of our results to other galaxies and dust evolution models.

description: The first computer users were all programmers, and the field of Human-Computer Interaction started, in part, with a focus on improving how programming was done. There was a significant amount of work in the 1980’s on this topic, but it mostly died out in the 1990s. Now, there is a resurgence of work on what used to be called the Psychology of Programming, Software Psychology, and the Empirical Studies of Programming. Now, research that combines HCI and software engineering concerns regularly wins awards at both the software engineering and HCI conferences, and although there is no longer a conference devoted solely to this topic, it is a major focus of the popular VL/HCC conference series. In this paper, we argue that new HCI and software engineering methods and tools, along with a new acceptance of the programming community, makes it a propitious time for a renewed focus on this topic.

description: Bismuth chalcogenides and lead telluride/selenide alloys exhibit exceptional thermoelectric properties which could be harnessed for power generation and device applications. Since phonons play a significant role in achieving these desired properties, quantifying the interaction between phonons and electrons, which is encoded in the Eliashberg function of a material, is of immense importance. However, its precise extraction has in part been limited due to the lack of local experimental probes. Here we construct a method to directly extract the Eliashberg function using Landau level spectroscopy, and demonstrate its applicability to lightly-doped thermoelectric bulk insulator PbSe. In addition to its high energy resolution only limited by thermal broadening, this novel experimental method could be used to detect variations in mass enhancement factor at the nanoscale. As such, it opens up a new pathway for investigating the effects of chemical defects, surface doping and strain on the mass enhancement factor.

description: Following Elliott's earlier work, we show that the Elliott invariant of any finite separable simple $C^*$-algebra with finite nuclear dimension can always be described as a scaled simple ordered group pairing together with a countable abelian group which unifies the unital and nonunital, as well as stably projectionless cases. We also show that, for any given such invariant set, there is a finite separable simple $C^*$-algebra, whose Elliott invariant is the given set, a refinement of the range theorem of Elliott in the stable case. In the stably projectionless case, modified model $C^*$-algebras are constructed in such a way that they are of generalized tracial rank one and have other technical features. We also show that every stably projectionless separable simple amenable $C^*$-algebra in the UCT class has rationally generalized tracial rank one.
description: 193 pages, the revision removes the condition of stable rank one in the main theorem (it has been divided into two papers). 2021/12: This is the first part of the original paper. The second part of the revision is also ready and we will try to post it at the same time

description: We investigate the level of galaxy assembly bias in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) main galaxy sample using ELUCID, a state-of-the-art constrained simulation that accurately reconstructed the initial density perturbations within the SDSS volume. On top of the ELUCID haloes, we develop an extended HOD model that includes the assembly bias of central and satellite galaxies, parameterized as $\mathcal{Q}_\mathrm{cen}$ and $\mathcal{Q}_\mathrm{sat}$, respectively, to predict a suite of one- and two-point observables. In particular, our fiducial constraint employs the probability distribution of the galaxy number counts measured on $8\,\mathrm{Mpc}\,h^{-1}$ scales $N_8^g$ and the projected cross-correlation functions of quintiles of galaxies selected by $N_8^g$ with our entire galaxy sample. We perform extensive tests of the efficacy of our method by fitting the same observables to mock data using both constrained and non-constrained simulations. We discover that in many cases the level of cosmic variance between the two simulations can produce biased constraints that lead to an erroneous detection of galaxy assembly bias if the non-constrained simulation is used. When applying our method to the SDSS data, the ELUCID reconstruction effectively removes an otherwise strong degeneracy between cosmic variance and galaxy assembly bias in SDSS, enabling us to derive an accurate and stringent constraint on the latter. Our fiducial ELUCID constraint, for galaxies above a stellar mass threshold $M_*{=}10^{10.2}\,h^{-2}\,M_\odot$, is $\mathcal{Q}_\mathrm{cen}{=}{-}0.09\pm{0.05}$ and $\mathcal{Q}_\mathrm{sat}{=}0.09\pm{0.10}$, indicating no evidence for a significant~($>2σ$) galaxy assembly bias in the local Universe probed by SDSS. Finally, our method provides a promising path to the robust modelling of the galaxy-halo connection within future surveys like DESI and PFS.

description: We propose to install a system that shall enable an electronic switching device interfaced with a computer to be controlled remotely using a smart device. A client running on the user’s computer would connect to a central server, over an Internet connection. The user could then use a HTTP/WAP protocol from a smart device to connect to the central server, and issue requests to control his device.
In this report we describe happyRC.NET – the set of software and hardware setup that helps in addressing to the problem we have identified. We explain the methodology that this system has adopted to tackle the issue. We also explain the security considerations that we have focused on while designing the custom client server protocols. In the end, we conclude with possible enhancements in the pro ject that might take us to a whole new world of remotely operated gadgets in every home.

title:  ‘Second Wave De-Liberalisation’ and Understanding the Causes and Consequences of Brexit’s Implications for Policing
Creators: name: Dobreva, Diyana
name:  Innes, Martin
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2017

description: Britain’s historic referendum decision to leave the European Union can be understood as part of a broader pattern of profound social transformation.
This phenomenon, which we call ‘second wave deliberalisation’, is geared towards the rejection of liberal ethics and inclinations in favour of other norms and values. We are entering a historical moment where issues of culture and identity are reasserting themselves as engines of history, after a period where economic logics have been the pre‐eminent influence upon geo‐political patterns of development.

Even though crime and security were not key considerations in the UK’s referendum campaign, it is, nevertheless, the role of the police to manage some of the causes and consequences of such disruptive social changes, whist maintaining fealty to the traditions of the UK model of policing by consent. This paper explores what Brexit may portend for policing and security by examining the political, economic and social implications of the vote. In doing so, we establish that Brexit is ultimately a symptom of wider and deeper trends feeding into the emergent ‘post‐factual politics’.

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate which factors impact offenders' recidivism on electronic monitoring. Research on electronic monitoring has mainly concentrated on individual program completion rates. A review of the available literature on electronic monitoring reveals few evaluative studies focusing on offender recidivism. No long term recidivism studies are available for electronic monitoring. The present research reviews 277 offenders five years after completing their electronic monitoring sentence in Norfolk, Virginia. The following factors as they may relate to offenders' recidivism, while on electronic monitoring are measured: current offense, prior conviction, offenders' age, sentence length, and employment history. Analyses reveal that electronic monitoring offenders' age and prior record are significant predictors of future criminal behavior. Younger electronic monitoring offenders and offenders-with: prior records are more likely to commit new crimes in the future.

description: It is traditionally assumed that Zipf's law implies the power-law growth of the number of different elements with the total number of elements in a system - the so-called Heaps' law. We show that a careful definition of Zipf's law leads to the violation of Heaps' law in random systems, and obtain alternative growth curves. These curves fulfill universal data collapses that only depend on the value of the Zipf's exponent. We observe that real books behave very much in the same way as random systems, despite the presence of burstiness in word occurrence. We advance an explanation for this unexpected correspondence.

description: The search for a first-order phase transition in strongly interacting matter is one of the major objectives in the exploration of the phase diagram of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). In the present work we investigate dilepton radiation from the hot and dense fireballs created in Au-Au collisions at projectile energies of 1-2 $A$GeV for potential signatures of a first-order transition. Toward this end, we employ a hydrodynamic simulation with two different equations of state, with and without a phase transition. The latter is constrained by susceptibilities at vanishing chemical potential from lattice-QCD as well as neutron star properties, while the former is implemented via modification of the mean-fields in the quark phase. We find that the latent heat involved in the first-order transition leads to a substantial increase in the low-mass thermal emission signal, by about a factor of two above the cross-over scenario.

description: Quantum plasmonics extends cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) concepts to the nanoscale, taking benefit from the strongly subwavelength confinement of the plasmon modes supported by metal nanostructures. In this work, we describe in detail collective strong coupling to a plasmonic nanocavity. Similarities and differences to cQED are emphasized. We notably observe that the Rabi splitting can strongly deviate from the standard $\sqrt{N_e}ΔΩ_1$ law, where $N_e$ is the number of emitters and $ΔΩ_1$ the Rabi splitting for a single emitter. In addition, we discuss the collective Lamb shift and the role of quantum corrections to the emission spectra.

description: Today most organizations release and receive medical data with all explicit identifiers, such as name, address, and phone number, removed in the incorrect belief that patient confidentiality is maintained because the resulting data look anonymous. We examine three computer programs that do maintain patient confidentiality when disclosing electronic medical records: the Scrub System which locates personally-identifying information in letters between doctors and notes written by clinicians; the Datafly System which generalizes data within the record based on a profile of the recipient at the time of access; and, the Î¼-Argus System which is becoming a European standard for disclosing public use data. The techniques presented in these systems help protect confidentiality in the face of a changing globally-networked society with immediate access to volumes of personal data.
A uniformly moving and rotating polarizable particle in thermal radiation field: frictional force and torque, radiation and heating

description: We study the fluctuation-electromagnetic interaction and dynamics of a small spinning polarizable particle moving with a relativistic velocity in a vacuum background of arbitrary temperature. Using the standard formalism of the fluctuation electromagnetic theory, a complete set of equations describing the decelerating tangential force, the components of the torque and the intensity of nonthermal and thermal radiation is obtained along with equations describing the dynamics of translational and rotational motion, and the kinetics of heating. An interplay between various parameters is discussed. Numerical estimations for conducting particles were carried out using MATHCAD code. In the case of zero temperature of a particle and background radiation, the intensity of radiation is independent of the linear velocity, the angular velocity orientation and the linear velocity value are independent of time. In the case of a finite background radiation temperature, the angular velocity vector tends to be oriented perpendicularly to the linear velocity vector. The particle temperature relaxes to a quasistationary value depending on the background radiation temperature, the linear and angular velocities, whereas the intensity of radiation depends on the background radiation temperature, the angular and linear velocities. The time of thermal relaxation is much less than the time of angular deceleration, while the latter time is much less than the time of linear deceleration.

Exploring KSZ velocity reconstruction with $N$-body simulations and the halo model

description: KSZ velocity reconstruction is a recently proposed method for mapping the largest-scale modes of the universe, by applying a quadratic estimator $\hat{v}_r$ to the small-scale CMB and a galaxy catalog. We implement kSZ velocity reconstruction in an $N$-body simulation pipeline and explore its properties. We find that the reconstruction noise can be larger than the analytic prediction which is usually assumed. We revisit the analytic prediction and find additional noise terms which explain the discrepancy. The new terms are obtained from a six-point halo model calculation, and are analogous to the $N^{(1)}$ and $N^{(3/2)}$ biases in CMB lensing. We implement an MCMC pipeline which estimates $f_{NL}$ from $N$-body kSZ simulations, and show that it recovers unbiased estimates of $f_{NL}$, with statistical errors consistent with a Fisher matrix forecast. Overall, these results confirm that kSZ velocity reconstruction will be a powerful probe of cosmology in the near future, but new terms should be included in the noise power spectrum.

description: This thesis evaluates whether the Inter-American System for Protection of Human Rights should allow all criminal convicts to take vote or not. The objective is to highlight the clear need for change and the outdated and social troubling standing regarding felony disenfranchisement in Latin America. For this purpose, the research relies on a multidisciplinary investigation to analyse felony disenfranchisement policies and its operation in the region under the scrutiny of the America Convention on Human Rights. While Latin American countries should ungently be engaged in policies to promote inclusion and social rehabilitation of prisoners, criminal disenfranchisement, as a mere punitive measure, is openly embraced by the America Convention on Human Rights (Article 23.2). Once is clear the social impacts of felony disenfranchisement and its critical and contradictory establishment under the Inter-America System for Protection of Human Rights, the research uncovers the impropriety of the denial of prisoners ‘voting rights under international human rights law. Even though criminal disenfranchisement policies seem to be a countermeasure to develop human rights’ protection, the Inter-American System does not review the matter. Keywords: Felony disenfranchisement; International human rights law; Unreasonable restrictions; Discriminatory policies; Inter-American System for Protection of Human Rights.

description: The topic of this paper – the simplification of administrative procedures concerning the environment and therefore the proceedings directly related to environmental protection – has been gradually examined by scholars and judges. And now simplification in environmental matters is quite frequent, as part of the legislative measures amending the discipline of administration. The aim of simplification is always at the center of the great process of administrative reform already begun in the Nineties (while now it is in progress) and it has invested also the branch of environmental law. Actually, today literature is more and more brought to consider environmental interests as a “limit to simplification”, even if this last category is very discussed by recent new rules. Today, this theme is examined through a reductio ad unitatem, so that a systematic reading can be done.

description: Retrieval and content management are assumed to be mutually exclusive. In this paper we suggest that they need not be so. In the usual information retrieval scenario, some information about queries leading to a website (due to `hits' or `visits') is available to the server administrator of the concerned website. This information can used to better present the content on the website. Further, we suggest that some more information can be shared by the retrieval system with the content provider. This will enable the content provider (any website) to have a more dynamic presentation of the content that is in tune with the query trends, without violating the privacy of the querying user. The result will be a better synchronization between retrieval systems and content providers, with the purpose of improving the user's web search experience. This will also give the content provider a say in this process, given that the content provider is the one who knows much more about the content than the retrieval system. It also means that the content presentation may change in response to a query. In the end, the user will be able to find the relevant content more easily and quickly.

title:  A Quarter Century of Globalization in India: Impact on Food and Medicines
Creators: name: Chandiramani, Nilima
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press

description: India has witnessed a quarter century of globalization. In 1991 tall claims were made that India would benefit by opening her economy to the world. This paper segregates the hype from reality by highlighting the impact of globalization on two vital sectors of Indian economy ‐ agriculture and pharmaceuticals. After tracing the genesis of globalization and birth of WTO on 1 January 1995, the first part of the paper, dealing with agriculture, scrutinizes the deleterious impact of market access, domestic subsidies, export competition; and the patenting/protection of plant varieties on food and livelihood security of the nation; rights of farm families and indigenous communities; and our genetic resources and traditional knowledge. The second part of the paper critically examines the history and the provisions of The Indian Patent Act 1970, before and after the establishment of the WTO; the flexibilities permissible under the TRIPS Text to safeguard public health; and the attempts made by pharmaceutical MNCs to dilute our laws in order to make us TRIPS‐plus compliant and to throttle Indian pharmaceutical companies through takeovers. The paper concludes by saying that India should beware the expansionary needs of gigantic agricultural and pharmaceutical corporations and continue to protect its agriculture and public health. Agriculture and patent issues are not trade issues. They are survival/livelihood and development issues; best left to national government to legislate, depending upon its stage of development.

description: There is an increasing demand for domain-specific softward. For example, the software to control a machine on a factory floor is different in significant ways from the software to manipulate large databases. The software engineer buidling real-time systems software to control a moto that powers a piece of machinery needs some understanding of the mototr"s servo system; Space Station needs specific knowledge about database models as well as the types of data handled on a long-term space vehicle. Specilization tracks within the Master of Software Engineering (MSE) Program at Carnegie Mellon University enable students to gain application domain knowledge while developing fundamental software engineering skills. The MSE Program offers specializatioon tracks in real-time computing, human-computer interation (HCI), and business. This paper overviews these tracks.

description: A detailed electronic phase diagram of perovskite-type oxides Sr$_{1-x}$La$_x$FeO$_3$ $(0\leq x \leq 0.5)$ was established by synchrotron X-ray diffraction, magnetization, and transport measurements for polycrystalline samples synthesized by a high-pressure technique. Among three kinds of helimagnetic phases in SrFeO$_3$ at zero field, two of them showing multiple-${\it q}$ helimagnetic spin textures tend to rapidly disappear in cubic symmetry upon the La substitution with $x$ less than 0.1, which accompanies the loss of metallic nature. On the other hand, the third helimagnetic phase apparently remains robustly in Sr$_{1-x}$La$_x$FeO$_3$ with $x$ higher than 0.1, followed by merging to the spin/charge ordered phase with $x\sim 1/3$. We propose an important role of itinerant ligand holes on the emergence of multiple-${\it q}$ states and a possible link between the third (putative single-${\it q}$) helimagnetic phase in SrFeO$_3$ and the spin/charge ordered phase in Sr$_{2/3}$La$_{1/3}$FeO$_3$.

ASSESING TARGETED GENOMIC EXPRESSION FOLLOWING IN VITRO EXPOSURES OF HUMAN LUNG CELLS TO AMBIENT GASES IN HOUSTON, TEXAS

description: ABSTRACT
      Hang Nguyen: Assessing targeted genomic expression following In Vitro exposures of human lung cells to ambient gases in Houston, Texas
      (Under the direction of William Vizuete)
      Ambient exposures consist of many gaseous air pollutants that continue to transform chemically. Current in vitro studies, however, do not typically assess cellular impacts in relation to real-world gaseous mixtures. In vitro exposures of lung cells to ambient mixtures were completed and produced gene expression data from a field campaign in the industrialized Houston Ship Channel. An integral part of this field campaign was the real-time monitoring of both emitted and secondary gas phase pollutants. This real-time chemical characterization data was used to quantify correlations with expressions of 979 genes selected for their roles in inflammation and cancer in human lung cells. We found statistically significant correlations between expressions of 11 genes and 8 pollutants. As expected, large fold increases in gene expressions were measured from exposures to known hazardous air pollutants. The genomic response correlation with alkanes, however, was not expected and could be serving as a surrogate for other unmeasured pollutants. For these alkanes, the transforming growth factor beta 3 (TGFB3) had a positive correlation and is associated with a cell proliferation pathway. Of the seven genes correlated with benzene, NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) had the highest correlation and is associated with the inflammasome activation.

description: The subject of this research is the likely consequences of the protection of the rights of indigenous peoples on environmental preservation in the Amazon rainforest, within the Peruvian territory. Departing from an understanding of Amazonian indigenous cultural identity – framework for the protection of traditional lifestyles, spiritual values and cosmovision – this investigation will examine the internal dimension of the human right to selfdetermination, the right of indigenous peoples to choose their priorities and means for development, and the human right to a healthy environment as recognized in the inter- American system for the protection of human rights. The analyses of both rights will be conducted in order to approach the linkages between the protection of human rights and the preservation of the environment. Therefore, we will approach social and environmental conflicts concerning industrial concessions, the construction of infrastructures and development policies in the Amazon from the lens of indigenous peoples’ rights . Moreover, this study aims to place claims for environmental justice in the context of a multicultural state, compromised towards a progressive realisation of democracy while addressing the challenges for sustainability within an intercultural, albeit globalised society. This work points to the potentialities of local empowerment, through culturally adapted structures for education and political participation of indigenous communities, in combating cultural defragmentation and preserving traditional livelihoods. Underlying that the preservation of cultural identity is a counter-hegemonic means for balancing social, environmental and economic interests so as to include sustainability.

description: We present a reactor model independent search for sterile neutrino oscillation using 2\,509\,days of RENO near detector data and 180 days of NEOS data. The reactor related systematic uncertainties are significantly suppressed as both detectors are located at the same reactor complex of Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant. The search is performed by electron antineutrino\,($\overlineν_e$) disappearance between six reactors and two detectors with baselines of 294\,m\,(RENO) and 24\,m\,(NEOS). A spectral comparison of the NEOS prompt-energy spectrum with a no-oscillation prediction from the RENO measurement can explore reactor $\overlineν_e$ oscillations to sterile neutrino. Based on the comparison, we obtain a 95\% C.L. excluded region of $0.1<|Δm_{41}^2|<7$\,eV$^2$. We also obtain a 68\% C.L. allowed region with the best fit of $|Δm_{41}^2|=2.41\,\pm\,0.03\,$\,eV$^2$ and $\sin^2 2θ_{14}$=0.08$\,\pm\,$0.03 with a p-value of 8.2\%. Comparisons of obtained reactor antineutrino spectra at reactor sources are made among RENO, NEOS, and Daya Bay to find a possible spectral variation.

description: We study a moduli problem on a nodal curve of arithmetic genus 1, whose solution is an open subscheme in the zastava space for projective line. This moduli space is equipped with a natural Poisson structure, and we compute it in a natural coordinate system. We compare this Poisson structure with the trigonometric Poisson structure on the transversal slices in an affine flag variety. We conjecture that certain generalized minors give rise to a cluster structure on the trigonometric zastava.

description: Research in Psychology of Programming (PoP) and related fields over the past thirty years has identified many important usability issues for programming languages and tools. However, when new programming languages are designed these findings do not seem to have much impact, so popular modern languages continue to exhibit many of the same old problems. This paper reviews the progress of an ongoing project to elevate the influence of PoP on the design of a new programming language. In the context of designing a new programming language for children, we cataloged and interpreted the prior work, performed new studies where questions remained unanswered, and have focused on usability throughout the design. In addition to producing a system that is easier to learn and use than existing systems, we hope to exemplify a process that could be adopted by other language designers to improve the usability of their systems.
