Nora Barlow - A Modern Cambridge Victorian And 'The Many Lives of Modern Woman'
Creators: name: Smith, Louis M.
Publisher: name: Advancing Women in Leadership Journal
Year: 2017

description: The audience and thesis of a book carry multiple implications for what will follow in the discussion. In reading The many lives of modern woman (Gruenberg and Krech, 1952), I found the authors speaking to a number of issues about which I was concerned. In particular they seemed to offer a kind of subtext to the last chapter of the biography I am writing, Nora Barlow and the Darwin legacy (Smith, In process). If that works out, it is a major discovery or accomplishment. Further, when colleagues Sharon Lee and Kelly McKerrow sent a call for papers on women, leadership, and social justice, I thought the Gruenberg and Krech book spoke not only to the Barlow life but also to the Lee and McKerrow request. My intension and task is the integration of a review of a classic book, and a view and commentary of the life of Nora Barlow, a privileged 19th Century woman. She was well to do and part of the intellectual aristocracy of England. A part of her life concerned the issues of community leadership and for her, at a very personal level, attempts at the resolution of the problems of equality and social justice. Finally in this essay review I present, and try to integrate, a series of more autobiographical comments of the interrelationships between the book and my, and my wife's, personal lives. My hope would be that in accomplishing this complex task I would have a better grasp of several important issues in social science and more personally, how I want to end the biography of Nora Barlow.

description: We use the clustering of galaxies around distant AGN to show with ~90% confidence that fainter AGN are longer lived. Our argument is simple: since the measured galaxy-AGN cross-correlation length r_0 ~ 5h^-1 Mpc does not vary significantly over a 10 magnitude range in AGN optical luminosity, faint and bright AGN must reside in dark matter halos with similar masses. The halos that host bright and faint AGN therefore have similar intrinsic abundances, and the large observed variation in AGN number density with luminosity reflects a change in duty cycle.

Connections between symmetries and integrating factors of ODEs
Creators: name: Kolokolnikov, Theodore
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this thesis we examine the connections between conservation laws and symmetries, both for self-adjoint and non self-adjoint ODEs. The goal is to gain a better understanding of how to combine symmetry methods with the method of conservation laws to obtain results not obtainable by either method separately. We review the concepts of symmetries and integrating factors. We present two known methods of obtaining conservation laws without quadrature, using known conservation laws and symmetries. We show that the two methods yield the same result. For self-adjoint systems, we examine Noether's theorem in detail and discuss its generalisation for ODEs admitting more than one variational symmetry. We generalise an example from Sheftel [20] and show how to use r-dimensional Lie Algebra of variational symmetries to obtain more then r reductions of order. We develop an ansatz for finding point variational symmetries. We also develop ansatzes that use a known symmetry to find an integrating factor or another symmetry. These ansatzes are then used to classify ODEs. New solvable cases of Emden-Fowler and Abel ODEs result.

Standing on the Promises: The Experiences of Black Women Administrators in Historically Black Institutions
Creators: name: Jean-Marie, Gaetane
Publisher: name: Advancing Women in Leadership Journal
Year: 2017

description: Earning a college degree was not easily attainable for Black women during the civil rights movement. As the civil rights movement became a full-scale struggle, like many other Blacks, the Black women administrators in this study confronted and disrupted institutions thought to be responsible for their oppression. This study examines southern leadership discourses of Black women administrators who came from a tradition of protest transmitted across generations by older relatives, black educational institutions, churches, and protest organizations (Morris, 1984). What can an examination of university-level Black women administrators inform with respect to the struggles, challenges, and successes they experience?

T-duality and T-folds for point particles

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We argue that the T-duality phenomenon is not exclusively a stringy effect but it is relevant also in the context of the standard point particle dynamics. To illustrate the point, we construct a four-parametric family of four-dimensional electro-gravitational backgrounds such that the dynamics of a charged point particle in those backgrounds is insensitive to a particular permutation of the parameters although this very permutation does alter the background geometry. In particular, we find that a direct product of the Euclidean plane with the two-dimensional Euclidean black hole admits a point-particle T-dual with asymptotically negative curvature. For neutral particles, this point-particle T-duality picture gets slightly modified because the T-duality map is no longer defined everywhere but only on a dense open domain of the space of states. We suggest a possible interpretation of this phenomenon in terms of a point particle T-fold.

description: We continue our study of geometric transitions in type II and heterotic theories. In type IIB theory we discuss an F-theory setup which clarifies many of our earlier assumptions and allows us to study gravity duals of N = 1 gauge theories with arbitrary global symmetry group G. We also point out the subtle differences between global and local metrics, and show that in many cases the global descriptions are far more complicated than discussed earlier. We determine the full global description in type I/heterotic theory. In type IIA, our analysis gives rise to a local non-Kahler metric whose global description involves a particular orientifold action with gauge fluxes localised on branes. We are also able to identify the three form fields that allow for a smooth flop in the M-theory lift. We briefly discuss the issues of generalised complex structures in type IIB theory and possible half-twisted models in the heterotic duals of our type II models. In a companion paper we will present details on the topological aspects of these models.

description: Chinese immigrant women arrived in America's West in the mid nineteenth century. Their arrival marked the beginning of Chinese American women in the United States of America [1]. They left very few documents of their own. They were assumed to have followed the Chinese men to the West after the gold rush to serve the men. A majoritity of them were called "One Hundred Men's Wives" or prostitutes [2]. In the Western construction and conceptualization of Chinese women of this particular time, they have been portrayed as victims of patriarchy and the capitalist system.

description: Continuum robots are promising candidates for interactive tasks in medical and industrial applications due to their unique shape, compliance, and miniaturization capability. Accurate and real-time shape sensing is essential for such tasks yet remains a challenge. Embedded shape sensing has high hardware complexity and cost, while vision-based methods require stereo setup and struggle to achieve real-time performance. This paper proposes the first eye-to-hand monocular approach to continuum robot shape sensing. Utilizing a deep encoder-decoder network, our method, MoSSNet, eliminates the computation cost of stereo matching and reduces requirements on sensing hardware. In particular, MoSSNet comprises an encoder and three parallel decoders to uncover spatial, length, and contour information from a single RGB image, and then obtains the 3D shape through curve fitting. A two-segment tendon-driven continuum robot is used for data collection and testing, demonstrating accurate (mean shape error of 0.91 mm, or 0.36% of robot length) and real-time (70 fps) shape sensing on real-world data. Additionally, the method is optimized end-to-end and does not require fiducial markers, manual segmentation, or camera calibration. Code and datasets will be made available at https://github.com/ContinuumRoboticsLab/MoSSNet.

Envisioning New Forms of Praxis: Reflective Practice and Social Justice Education in a Higher Education Graduate Programs

Publisher: name: Advancing Women in Leadership Journal
Year: 2017

description: Student affairs graduate programs tend to prepare individuals via theory but do not engage in dialogue that addresses how to transfer that theory into practice. In many cases, social justice issues are neglected. As student affairs scholars/practitioners and women, we find ourselves engaged in conversations with colleagues about a shared concern: entry-level student affairs professionals are not adequately prepared to survive the political environment of higher education. In an effort to illuminate our understanding of this dilemma, we focused on this shared concern with a deep interest in creating some type of actionable change within student affairs preparation programs. Our research indicates that understanding individual social action theories is intrinsic to building a community that supports diversity. Habermas (1990) speaks to the theory of "communicative action," or a process of building understanding among groups of individuals. Habermas' concept of communicative action can serve as an analogy for both the instructor and the student in a student affairs graduate classroom. In accordance with this analogy, the instructor and students are oriented toward discovering their own meaning, personally and as a group, while accessing theories that are applicable in student affairs practice

Use of local density approximation within range separated hybrid exchange-correlation functional to investigate Pb doped SnO$_2$ as an electron transport layer
Creators: name: Çelik, Veysel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this study, the structural, electronic and optical properties of Pb doped rutile SnO$_2$ were investigated using the range separated hybrid exchange-correlation functional method. In the calculations, LDA functional was used instead of PBE functional. The electronic structure of SnO$_2$ obtained by this method is quite compatible with the experimental data. The SnO$_2$ has an important usage area in optoelectronic devices due to its transparent and conductive nature. One of these important areas is the use of SnO$_2$ as an electron transport layer (ETL) in perovskite solar cells. Therefore, the energy level of the conduction band of the SnO$_2$ is important. In the Pb doped SnO$_2$ cases, the band gap narrows as the Pb doping rate increases. The bandgap of SnO$_2$ can be narrowed from 3.60 eV to 3.02 eV with a %12.5 Pb doping ratio, and this narrowing is proportional to the amount of Pb. The calculation results obtained in this study show that the decrease in the energy level of the bottom of the conduction band plays an important role in the narrowing of the band gap and there is no significant change in the energy level of the top of the valence band. Due to this effect of the Pb atom, the energy level of the conduction band can be adjusted by using the doping ratio of the Pb atom and the band gap can be narrowed in a controlled manner. With the Pb doping, the energy levels of the SnO$_2$ ETL can be adjusted in a range according to the type of perovskite used in solar cell. In addition, the doping with Pb does not create electron traps in the band gap, which is important in the transport process of electrons.

description: Purpose: To assess the concurrent validity of two tasks used to inform diagnosis of childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), this study evaluated the agreement between the Syllable Repetition Task (SRT) and the Maximum Repetition Rate of Trisyllables (MRR-Tri).Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted with 80 children 7–16 years of age who were referred for treatment studies. All children had a speech sound disorder, and all completed both the SRT and the MRR-Tri. On each task, children were classified as meeting or not meeting the tool’s threshold for CAS based on the sound sequencing errors demonstrated.Results: The two tasks were in agreement for 47 participants (59% of the sample); both tasks classified 13 children as meeting the threshold for CAS and 34 children as not meeting the threshold for CAS. However, the two tasks disagreed on CAS classification for 33 children (41% of the sample). Overall, the MRR-Tri identified more children as having sound sequencing errors indicative of CAS (n = 39) than did the SRT (n = 20).Conclusions: These two tasks of sound sequencing differ in the children they identify with CAS, possibly due to aspects of the underlying task requirements (e.g., time pressure). The SRT and the MRR-Tri should not be used in isolation to identify CAS but may be useful as part of a balanced CAS assessment battery that includes additional tasks that inform the nature of the impairment and that aid treatment planning.

description: In the application of computer-vision based displacement measurement, an optical target is usually required to prove the reference. In the case that the optical target cannot be attached to the measuring objective, edge detection, feature matching and template matching are the most common approaches in target-less photogrammetry. However, their performance significantly relies on parameter settings. This becomes problematic in dynamic scenes where complicated background texture exists and varies over time. To tackle this issue, we propose virtual point tracking for real-time target-less dynamic displacement measurement, incorporating deep learning techniques and domain knowledge. Our approach consists of three steps: 1) automatic calibration for detection of region of interest; 2) virtual point detection for each video frame using deep convolutional neural network; 3) domain-knowledge based rule engine for point tracking in adjacent frames. The proposed approach can be executed on an edge computer in a real-time manner (i.e. over 30 frames per second). We demonstrate our approach for a railway application, where the lateral displacement of the wheel on the rail is measured during operation. We also implement an algorithm using template matching and line detection as the baseline for comparison. The numerical experiments have been performed to evaluate the performance and the latency of our approach in the harsh railway environment with noisy and varying backgrounds.

description: We study one loop supersymmetric corrections to precision observables. Adding LEP2 e ebar --> f fbar cross sections to the data-set removes previous hints for SUSY and the resulting constraints are in some cases stronger than direct bounds on sparticle masses. We consider specific models: split SUSY, CMSSM, gauge mediation, anomaly and radion mediation. Beyond performing a complete one-loop analysis, we also develop a simple approximation, based on the Shat, That, W, Y `universal' parameters. SUSY corrections give W,Y > 0 and mainly depend on the left-handed slepton and squark masses, on M_2 and on mu.

description: Few-Shot Class Incremental Learning (FSCIL) is a challenging continual learning task, where limited training examples are available during several learning sessions. To succeed in this task, it is necessary to avoid over-fitting new classes caused by biased distributions in the few-shot training sets. The general approach to address this issue involves enhancing the representational capability of a pre-defined backbone architecture by adding special modules for backward compatibility with older classes. However, this approach has not yet solved the dilemma of ensuring high classification accuracy over time while reducing the gap between the performance obtained on larger training sets and the smaller ones. In this work, we propose an alternative approach called Continual Parameter-Efficient CLIP (CPE-CLIP) to reduce the loss of information between different learning sessions. Instead of adapting additional modules to address information loss, we leverage the vast knowledge acquired by CLIP in large-scale pre-training and its effectiveness in generalizing to new concepts. Our approach is multimodal and parameter-efficient, relying on learnable prompts for both the language and vision encoders to enable transfer learning across sessions. We also introduce prompt regularization to improve performance and prevent forgetting. Our experimental results demonstrate that CPE-CLIP significantly improves FSCIL performance compared to state-of-the-art proposals while also drastically reducing the number of learnable parameters and training costs.

description: She was preparing an assignment for her graduate research course and experiencing extreme writer's block. It just seemed as if nothing of substance was occurring, and finally in frustration she decided to leave her cubicle and wander through the library stacks. Her steps took her to the section marked "African American Studies" where she began to scan the shelves. Not long after, she found herself drawn to a book with the title, The Contributions of Blacks to the American Military: A Retrospective. Intrigued by both the text and the promise of narratives and faded photographs, she removed the book and began to turn the pages. Casually moving through pages that documented black men's combat contributions from the Revolutionary War to World War II, she found herself drawn to the accounts and faces of "free men," stoic foot soldiers, aviators, marines, and army battalions""and, quite unexpectedly to a picture of what appeared to be a ship's hold with thirteen black officers seated on graduated steps. Since there had been few photographs of blacks in the Navy, she stopped to look more closely at the picture and to read the names. Suddenly, her eyes widened with astonishment as she recognized the face of her own father. For the first time, at age 23, she was learning that he had been one of the first blacks commissioned as officers in the United States Navy. In that moment, his/story had become her/story too.

Policy analysts and researchers subsequently identified numerous reasons for the national failure: few state organizations developed for the ratification campaign, lack of preparation for anti-ERA challenges in traditionally-oriented states, fears that the ERA would change women's roles in the home, the unexpected legal benefits the Supreme Court gave women during the 1970s without the ERA, and opponents' effective linkage, however false, of the ERA to legal abortion (Berry, 1988; Boles, 1979,1982,1985,1989; Marilley, 1989).

description: Market competition has a role which is directly or indirectly associated with influential effects of individual sectors on other sectors of the economy. The present work studies the relative position of a product in the market through the identification of influential spreaders and its corresponding effect on the other sectors of the market using complex network analysis during the pre-, in-, and post-crisis induced lockdown periods using daily data of NSE from December, 2019 to June, 2021. The existing approaches using different centrality measures failed to distinguish between the positive and negative influences of the different sectors in the market which act as spreaders. To obviate this problem, this paper presents an effective measure called LIEST (Local Influential Effects for Specific Target) that can examine the positive and negative influences separately with respect to any crisis period. LIEST considers the combined impact of all possible nodes which are at most three steps away from the specific targets for the networks. The essence of non-linearity in the network dynamics without considering single node effect becomes visible particularly in the proposed network.

description: The Jülich Electric Dipole moment Investigation (JEDI) collaboration aims at a direct measurement of the Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) of protons and deuterons using a storage ring. The measurement is based on a polarization measurement. In order to reach highest accuracy, one has to know the exact trajectory through the magnets, especially the quadrupoles, to avoid the influence of magnetic fields on the polarization vector. In this paper, the development of a beam-based alignment technique is described that was developed and implemented at the COoler SYnchrotron (COSY) at Forschungszentrum Jülich. Well aligned quadrupoles permit one to absolutely calibrate the Beam Position Monitors (BPMs). The method is based on the fact that a particle beam, which does not pass through the center of a quadrupole, experiences a deflection. The precision reached by the method is approximately 40 micro meter. Some consequences for the design of a new high precision storage ring for EDM mesasurements are discussed.

description: Last years we have witnessed the uprising of location based applications, which depend on the devices ability to accurately obtain their position. IEEE 802.11, foretelling the need for such applications, started the IEEE 802.11az work on Next Generation Positioning. Although this standard provides positioning enhancements for sub-6GHz and mmWave bands, high accuracy in the order of centimeters can only be obtained in the latter band, thanks to the beamforming information available at mmWave operation. This work presents a detailed analysis on the new techniques provided by IEEE 802.11az for enhanced secured positioning in the mmWave band, assessing them through experimentation.

description: Dielectric capacitors are critical components in electronics and energy storage devices. The polymer based dielectric capacitors have advantages of flexibility, fast charge and discharge, low loss, and graceful failure. Elevating the use of polymeric dielectric capacitors for advanced energy applications such as electric vehicles (EVs) however requires significant enhancement of their energy densities. Here, we report a polymer thin film heterostructure based capacitor of poly(vinylidene fluoride)/poly(methyl methacrylate) with stratified 2D nanofillers (Mica or h-BN nanosheets) (PVDF/PMMA-2D fillers/PVDF), that shows enhanced permittivity, high dielectric strength and an ultra-high energy density of 75 J/cm3 with efficiency over 79%. Density functional theory calculations verify the observed permittivity enhancement. This approach of using oriented 2D nanofillers based polymer heterostructure composites is expected to be universal for designing high energy density thin film polymeric dielectric capacitors for myriads of applications.

description: A study of a riveting connection between noncommutativity and the anomalous dilatation (scale) symmetry is presented for a generalized quantum Hall system due to time dilatation transformations. On using the "Peierls substitution" scheme, it is shown that noncommutativity between spatial coordinates emerges naturally at a large magnetic field limit. Thereafter, we derive a path-integral action for the corresponding noncommutative quantum system and discuss the equivalence between the considered noncommutative system and the generalized Landau problem thus rendering an effective commmutative description. By exploiting the path-integral method due to Fujikawa, we derive an expression for the unintegrated scale or dilatation anomaly for the generalized Landau system, wherein the anomalies are identified with Jacobian factors arising from measure change under scale transformation and is subsequently renormalised. In fact, we derive exact expressions of anomalous Ward identities from which one may point out the existence of scale anomaly which is a purely quantum effect induced from the noncommutative structure between spatial coordinates.

K Dwarf Stars

description: A haiku about this work:
 K dwarfs are awesome
 HST has been staring
 Cool science in store!

 Efforts to discover and characterize habitable zone planets have primarily focused on Sun-like stars and M dwarfs. Yet the intermediate K stars provide an appealing compromise between these two extremes that has been relatively unexplored. Compared to solar-type stars, K stars are more abundant, maintain longer main-sequence lifetimes, and their planets are more suitable to observations based on the mass and radius ratios of the planet to star. While M stars also excel in these regards, they have been observed to have frequent flares with ultraviolet (UV) energies over 100 times greater than anything observed in the recent history of our Sun. Therefore, K stars may provide "super-habitable" environments for exoplanets that are more easily detectable and characterizable. Understanding the UV radiation incident on planets is pivotal in determining the habitability of any planets orbiting these stars, as well as our ability to observe any potential biosignatures in their atmospheres. With this aim, we observed a sample of K stars in the near-UV and far-UV at three representative ages using the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to spectroscopically analyze the UV evolution of K stars. Here, we present the first results of this HST program. We will discuss the evolution of both the continuum and line emission from K stars from ages 40 Myr to ~Gyrs, representing key periods in planetary atmospheric formation.

Little-Higgs corrections to precision data after LEP2

description: We reconsider little-Higgs corrections to precision data. In five models with global symmetries SU(5), SU(6), SO(9) corrections are (although not explicitly) of `universal' type. We get simple expressions for the Shat, That, W, Y parameters, which summarize all effects. In all models Shat > (W+Y)/2 and That, W, Y\ge 0. Results differ from previous analyses, which are sometimes incomplete, sometimes incorrect, and because we add LEP2 e ebar --> f fbar cross sections to the data set. Depending on the model the constraint on f ranges between 2 and 20 TeV. We next study the `simplest' little-Higgs model (and propose a new related model) which is not `universal' and affects precision data due to the presence of an extra Z' vector. By restricting the data-set to the most accurate leptonic data we show how corrections to precision data generated by a generic Z' can be encoded in four effective Shat, That, W, Y parameters, giving their expressions.

Entropy of fully packed hard rigid rods on $d$-dimensional hyper-cubic lattices

description: We determine the asymptotic behavior of the entropy of full coverings of a $L \times M$ square lattice by rods of size $k\times 1$ and $1\times k$, in the limit of large $k$. We show that full coverage is possible only if at least one of $L$ and $M$ is a multiple of $k$, and that all allowed configurations can be reached from a standard configuration of all rods being parallel, using only basic flip moves that replace a $k \times k$ square of parallel horizontal rods by vertical rods, and vice versa. In the limit of large $k$, we show that the entropy per site $S_2(k)$ tends to $ A k^{-2} \ln k$, with $A=1$. We conjecture, based on a perturbative series expansion, that this large-$k$ behavior of entropy per site is super-universal and continues to hold on all $d$-dimensional hyper-cubic lattices, with $d \geq 2$.

description: We study the Wegner-Wilson loops in the string-net model of Levin and Wen in the presence of a string tension. The latter is responsible for a phase transition from a topological deconfined phase (weak tension) to a trivial confined phase (strong tension). We analyze the behavior of all Wegner-Wilson loops in both limiting cases for an arbitrary input theory of the string-net model. Using a fluxon picture, we compute perturbatively the first contributions to a perimeter law in the topological phase as a function of the quantum dimensions. In the trivial phase, we find that Wegner-Wilson loops obey a modified area law, in agreement with a recent mean-field approach.

Female Leaders in Educational Administration: Sabotage within our Own Ranks

description: Professional women in Australia have an interesting term for what happens to talented and outspoken females who rise quickly in their fields. They call it the "tall poppy syndrome" because a poppy that grows higher than the rest often gets its head lopped off (Polley, 1996). Such a phenomenon also occurs with women who achieve success in the field of educational administration, "the blue flamers" (Funk, 2000), who rise quickly through the ranks but are often not supported and even sabotaged by other women who work with them. Many females in educational leadership positions in the United States experience a spectrum of types of negative treatment from female teachers to female superintendents that can be defined as horizontal violence--a term used here to describe the harm that some women do to other women in the educational workplace. An illustration of a non-supportive female, a Texas superintendent, was described by Skrla and Benestante (1998) who were spurned and summarily ignored by the female superintendent when they tried to give her brochures regarding the Texas Council of Women School Executives (TCWSE) at the annual superintendents' conference

description: Work-life conflicts are hardly new, even in academia. Amelia Earhart, in a letter to her future husband, George Putnam, wrote of "her reluctance to marry, my feeling that I shatter thereby chances in work which means most to me" (Earhart, n.d.). Earhart went on to become not only the most famous woman pilot, but also to hold an appointment during the 1930's at Purdue University as a consultant in the department for the study of the careers of women. Memories of her attempt to fly around the world are documented in her letters to Putnam, whose careful preservation of those communications provides a lasting record to her achievements and the conflicts felt by talented women.

description: Background: Immune based therapies for cancer are emerging as promising strategies to treat a number of malignancies. A more thorough biomarker assessment of the patients may provide insights into the variability in response to such immune therapies. In a phase 1/1b clinical trial with the survivin-targeting vaccine DPX-Survivac, we showed the induction of robust immune responses in ovarian cancer patients. In this study, we investigated the potential of proteomic and metabolomic analysis of plasma to identify surrogate biomarkers for efficacy, recurrence and adverse events (AE) in vaccine recipients.

Conclusions: The use of metabolomic and proteomic techniques can complement traditional methods for immune monitoring in clinical trials for cancer vaccines and other immune therapies. We demonstrate that a panel of metabolites and proteins in plasma measured at the study baseline correlate with the potential for recurrence and AE. Potential association of novel biomarkers with the strength of immune response could be used for developing an informed approach in patient selection and to personalize treatment options. Due to relatively smaller samples size in this study, these findings require validation in a larger patient cohort.
