description: In this paper we address several aspects of flat Bogomolnyi-Prasad-Sommerfeld (BPS) domain walls together with their Lorentz invariant vacua of 4d N=1 supergravity coupled to a chiral multiplet. The scalar field spans a one-parameter family of 2d Kähler manifolds satisfying a Kähler-Ricci flow equation. We find that BPS equations and the scalar potential deform with respect to the real parameter related to the Kähler-Ricci soliton. In addition, the analysis using gradient and renormalization group flows are carried out to ensure the existence of Lorentz invariant vacua related to Anti de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence.

title: The Effect of Variety, Harvest Time, and Brine Separation on Thiamine, Riboflavin, and Niacin Contents of Green Lima Beans
Creators: name: Dee-Ananta, Prasertsri
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1958

description: The increasing importance of the lima beans as a substantial cash crop for the growers or farmers and as a quality food for the consumer has initiated many investigations directed towards improving its quality as a vegetable crop. Lima beans are well suited for processing; hence, studies of the quality of different varieties in relation to time of harvest have been made. Host processors are in agreement that the beans attain maximum quality before they are fully mature. After that, the yield and size increase whereas the quality decreases.

description: We present Searn, an algorithm for integrating search and learning to solve complex structured prediction problems such as those that occur in natural language, speech, computational biology, and vision. Searn is a meta-algorithm that transforms these complex problems into simple classification problems to which any binary classifier may be applied. Unlike current algorithms for structured learning that require decomposition of both the loss function and the feature functions over the predicted structure, Searn is able to learn prediction functions for any loss function and any class of features. Moreover, Searn comes with a strong, natural theoretical guarantee: good performance on the derived classification problems implies good performance on the structured prediction problem.

description: The UK’s industrial strategy, with local variants, aims to support manufacturing in ‘traditional industrial regions’ (TIRs). Using novel data for advanced manufacturing (AM) industries over several decades, we examine long-term changes in their geography by regions and local authority districts. These industries have shifted away from large urban regions, and local authority districts in TIRs have lost ground relative to those in other regions, although there are variations between industries. Foreign direct investment has tended to locate in non-TIR locations. AM industries have not shifted decisively towards research-intensive regions. We consider the implications for policy initiatives seeking to spark clusters around innovation districts.

description: The establishment of incentive zones represents a cluster policy approach that a country can implement to boost economic growth. Being influenced by regional characteristics, the success of specific incentive types (special economic zones, free-trade zones, free zones) may vary considerably. By using a new composite indicator, differently designed according to each type of development plan, this study analyses 51 European incentive zones so as to identify best practices. Moreover, propensity score matching allows the net impact of the industrial policy to be assessed. The findings show significant positive results achieved by the various industrial policy instruments with differing levels of success.
title: Factors Related to Successful Completion of Developmental Mathematics Courses
Creators: name: Bagley, Jason
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: Dweck's mindset, math anxiety, multiplication skills, and attitudes toward mathematics were measured and used to predict student success in developmental math courses as measured by percent of points earned and pass rates. A pre/post survey design research study was conducted with students in Math 990, Math 1010, and Math 1050 at Utah State University. Data were analyzed using linear regression to predict percent of points earned and logistic regression to predict pass rates.
Math anxiety was found to have a large and statistically signicant negative effect on student course grades and pass rates. Dweck's mindset was found to be a strong predictor of student success. Multiplication skills were related to student success as measured in percent of points earned in the course, particularly in beginning algebra courses. Students' attitudes toward mathematics, particularly perceived ability and interest in mathematics, predicted very large differences in student achievement and pass rates.
The data supported claims that anxiety impacts students' ability to do mathematics and achieve. Dweck's research on mindset and previous research was also supported through the analyses performed. Evidence supports previously made attempts at interventions targeted toward student anxiety and changing students' mindset, as noted by Hattie and Dweck.

We present and empirically test a baseline model using data for 14 Indian regions/states over a period of 39 years. Our results show that place-based regional infrastructure investments, particularly in electricity-generating capacity and width-adjusted length of national highways, positively impact the relative number of firms operating in a region and help foster its economic performance.

Examining the roles of universities in place-based industrial strategy: which characteristics drive knowledge creation in priority technologies?
Creators: name: Johnston, Andrew

Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2021
Subjects: Science Policy

description: Industrial strategies designed to promote innovation in a set of priority technologies through university–industry collaboration essentially institutionalize a triple helix approach to economic development. Yet, treating universities as a generic resource leaves a question mark as to which institutions are most likely to be most useful. In addition, prior evidence of uneven regional distribution of research income in these technologies suggests that place-based interventions may merely lock in pre-existing inequalities. Therefore, by controlling for spatial and temporal variations among UK universities, this paper examines whether their ability to generate knowledge in these priority technologies is dependent upon their entrepreneurial or engaged nature, and strategic orientation. Using data from the UK Higher Education Business & Community Interaction (HE-BCI) survey, the analysis finds that entrepreneurial activities such as higher levels of licensing income, start-ups and patents are associated with higher levels of research income in these priority technologies. Furthermore, higher levels of income from engagement with businesses through collaboration and contract research are also associated with higher research income in these priority technologies, while strategic orientation has no effect.

title: Low-Temperature Aqueous Corrosion Behavior of Uranium Molybdenum Alloys
Creators: name: Gardner, Levi D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: Nuclear fuel characterization requires understanding of the various conditions to which materials are exposed in-reactor. One of these important conditions is corrosion, particularly that of fuel constituents. Therefore, corrosion behavior is of special interest and an essential part of nuclear materials characterization efforts. In support of the Office of Material Management and Minimization’s Reactor Conversion Program, monolithic uranium-10 wt% molybdenum alloy (UMo) is being investigated as a low enriched uranium alternative to highly enriched uranium dispersion fuel currently used in domestic high performance research reactors. The aqueous corrosion behavior of U-Mo is being examined at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) as part of U-Mo fuel fabrication capability activity. No prior study adequately represents this behavior given the current state of alloy composition and thermomechanical processing methods, and research reactor water chemistry.
Two main measurement techniques were employed to evaluate U-Mo corrosion behavior. Low-temperature corrosion rate values were determined by means of U-Mo immersion testing and subsequent mass-loss measurements. The electrochemical behavior of each processing condition was also qualitatively examined using the techniques of corrosion potential and anodic potentiodynamic polarization. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical metallography (OM) imagery and hardness measurements provided supplemental corrosion analysis in an effort to relate material corrosion behavior to processing.
The processing effects investigated as part of this were those of homogenization heat treatment (employed to mitigate the effects of coring in castings) and sub-eutectoid heat treatment, meant to represent additional steps in fabrication (such as hot isostatic pressing) performed at similar temperatures.
Immersion mass loss measurements and electrochemical results both showed very little appreciable difference between specimens of different process parameters. Comparative results were presented as linear corrosion rates and temperature-dependent Arrhenius equations, which were then correlated with electrochemical and metallographic findings for each condition under investigation.
This thesis was prepared in the monograph style using the ASME reference format.

Linear systems theory applied to a horizontally layered crust
Creators: name: Jensen, Oliver George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Elastic wave propagation in a multilayered crust with causally or acausally attenuating layers is formulated directly in terms of linear systems theory. The solution of the linear systems analog determines the wave motions at the free surface, motions of all internal boundaries and the waveforms propagated into the mantle in response to plane P or S waves generated within the layering or entering into the crust. The particular problem solved is the determination of the response of an n-layered crust to teleseismic P or S waves incident with arbitrary angle at the crustal base. Trivial extensions of this problem would allow reflection solutions. Numerical solutions have been accomplished in both the frequency domain and the time domain. The Fourier solution restricted to a non-attenuating crust is equivalent to the standard Haskell matrix solution of elastic wave equations. Direct time domain solutions allow the syntheses of seismograms considering internal crustal absorption. For demonstration of the utility and advantages of the theory, the linear systems formulation has been applied to studies of the elastic wave response of the central Alberta crust using P waves from 6 teleseismic events. Frequency domain comparisons between the theoretical and experimental spectral amplitude V/H ratios have shown that, although the theoretical effect of attenuation within the crust can be considerable, little improvement in correlations between theory and experiment has been achieved by considering plausible crustal absorption models. Although significant similarities between the theoretical and experimental V/H ratios were found below 2 Hz, little correlation was apparent at higher frequencies. Background and scattering noise partly contributed to this effect and it is also probable that insufficient detail and accuracy was available for the model crustal sections. Time domain synthetic seismograms have been determined which well correspond to the early P coda of several of the experimental records. Assumptions on the event source motions and the mantle properties are required to determine incident P waveforms for these solutions. Causal attenuation within the crustal layering was included. Correlations between the synthetic seismograms and the experimental records has been found to decrease rapidly with time following the P onset. It is suggested that this effect is primarily due to background noise and possible scattering of the waves within the crust. Furthermore, it is probable that the waveforms used for these solutions based on the source motion and mantle attenuation assumptions were not sufficient. A major apparent advantage of the new formulation is that causal and acausal attenuation solutions are permitted in both the frequency and time domains. Also, the large body of communications theory mathematics can now be applied directly to the propagation problem and could prove useful in attempts at the solution of the non-normal incidence inverse problem.

description: Scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) signals inherently have a low signal-to-noise ratio due to the way the signal is electrically transduced. Temporal and spatial information must be exploited to achieve accurate detection of seizure events. Most popular approaches to seizure detection using deep learning do not jointly model this information or require multiple passes over the signal, which makes the systems inherently non-causal. In this paper, we exploit both simultaneously by converting the multichannel signal to a grayscale image and using transfer learning to achieve high performance. The proposed system is trained end-to-end with only very simple pre- and postprocessing operations which are computationally lightweight and have low latency, making them conducive to clinical applications that require real-time processing. We have achieved a performance of 42.05% sensitivity with 5.78 false alarms per 24 hours on the development dataset of v1.5.2 of the Temple University Hospital Seizure Detection Corpus. On a single-core CPU operating at 1.7 GHz, the system runs faster than real-time (0.58 xRT), uses 16 Gbytes of memory, and has a latency of 300 msec.

Free air laser strain meter (a feasibility study of a new method of observing tectonic motions)
Creators: name: Cannon, Wayne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Theoretical investigation into the feasibility of making laser strain meter measurements over large distances through the uncontrolled atmosphere indicate that such observations are likely possible with present day technology. The observing device, here-in called a free air laser strain meter, would use laser output at three frequencies, appropriately spaced in the spectrum, coupled with the dispersion of the atmosphere to separate "geometrical" fluctuations from "refractive" fluctuations of the optical path length between the end mirrors of the strain meter. The geometrical fluctuations can be averaged to reveal tectonic changes in distance between the end mirrors. Theoretical expressions for averaging times, confidence limits, strain sensitivity, accuracy of observations, fringe count rate, fringe visibility, aperture size and laser power are derived in terms of the relevant physical, geophysical, and atmospheric parameters. Free air laser strain meters, like conventional laser strain meters, appear to be capable of measuring earth strain over distances of several Kms. up to the limit of frequency stability of the laser in the presence of moderate atmospheric turbulence. In the free air laser strain meter the laser frequency stability and not atmospheric effects is the ultimate factor limiting strain sensitivity. Over distances of several kilometers free air laser strain meters are theoretically able to make strain measurements more sensitively, ( δD/D ~ 10⁻¹¹ - 10⁻¹² ) , and more rapidly, ( observation interval Δτ ~ 10 minutes - 1 hour ) , than any other device, known or proposed, operating through the uncontrolled atmosphere. The successful operation of free air laser strain meters would represent an improvement over present methods by a factor of 10³ - 10⁴ in sensitivity of observation. The realization of free air laser strain meters would provide geophysicists in the fields of geodesy and tectonics with a tool of unusual capabilities and as such would be recognized as a major advance.

description: Dehydration is perhaps the oldest method of preserving fruits and vegetables. However, it is still an important method of preservation, During World War II, efforts were geared to investigate the possibilities of such newer dehydrated foods as powdered eggs, tomatoes, and potato granules. Since then many new products are flooding the market every year. The use of dehydrated products has increased primarily because they usually require leas space and have longer shelf life, and at the same time they have much more concentrated nutritive value than fresh, canned, or frozen foods, Hence, they can easily be adopted for military rations. Because of their ease of handling and transportation they may serve as a snack and picnic food.

description: We investigate the position oscillation of a particle that models the center of mass quantum state of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate coupled to the zero-point fluctuations of the gravitational field. A semiclassical analysis is performed that allows to calculate the mean square amplitude of the oscillation. In analogy with the Lamb shift in quantum electrodynamics, this gives rise to an upshift of the energy of the trapped condensates. We show that for an elongated trap, the energy shift scales quadratically with the length as well as cubically with the total number of atoms.

description: Automatic phenotype concept recognition from unstructured text remains a challenging task in biomedical text mining research despite a few attempts in the past. In previous works, dictionary-based and machine learning-based methods are attempted for phenotype concept recognition. The dictionary-based methods can achieve a high precision, but it suffers from a lower recall problem. Machine learning-based methods can recognize more phenotype concept variants by automatic feature learning. However, most of them require large corpora of manually annotated data for its model training, which is difficult to obtain due to the high cost of human annotation. To address the problems, we propose a hybrid method combining dictionary-based and machine learning-based methods to recognize the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) concepts in unstructured biomedical text. We first use all concepts and synonyms in HPO to construct a dictionary. Then we employ the dictionary-based method and HPO to automatically build a “weak” training dataset for machine learning. Next, a cutting-edge deep learning model is trained to classify each candidate phrase into a corresponding concept id. Finally, machine learning-based prediction results are incorporated into the dictionary-based results for improved performance. Experimental results show that our method can achieve state-of-the-art performance without any manually labeled training data.

subject: subjectivity analysis

description: Analyzing textual comments beyond numerical ratings in course feedback reports is essential for instructors, administrators, and future students to gain a comprehensive understanding of the course, such as teaching effectiveness, potential evaluation subjectivity, biases, etc. This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of approximately 2,500 course feedback re- ports containing 113,278 comments from CMSC and SOSC departments at the University of Chicago, from the 2020 Spring quarter to the 2023 Winter quarter. We apply text summarization, natural language processing (NLP), sentiment analysis, and machine learning techniques to organize individual comments, explore key topics, identify potential subjectivity and gender bias in the comments. Preliminary analysis reveals common concerns related to the course structure, content, effectiveness, and clarity in the educational process. The contributions are twofold: (1) the extensive dataset of course feedback comments and instructor profiles we collected, tagged with credible sentiment and subjectivity labels, constitutes a valuable resource for scholars in education evaluations; (2) we develop a text summarization and subjectivity identification pipeline, which enables the extraction of representative nouns and adjectives as well as the calculation of the degree of subjectivity expressed in the comments. These insights can be used to inform education policies and practices, thereby facilitating data-driven decision-making and fair evaluation mechanisms.

description: Additional file 2 Figure S2. Effect of DCS injection on neural activity in schizophrenia-like model mice in vivo. These data were the raw data obtained in the same experiments as those in Fig. 4. Amplitude, frequency or integrated area of spontaneous Ca2+ responses were shown before and after DCS injection, measured using CAG-GCaMP6s or CaMKII-GCaMP6s. A. Higher neuronal activity was observed in the anti-Nrg1 group but no effect of DCS, measured by the amplitude of Ca2+ responses. For CAG-GCaMP6s, basal activity, Rag vs. Nrg1, F1, 292 = 16.21, P < 0.05; with DCS, Rag vs. Nrg1, F1, 292 = 16.21, P < 0.001. For CaMKII-GCaMP6s, basal activity, Rag vs. Nrg1, F1, 494 = 7.163, P < 0.01). B. Higher neuronal activity was observed in the anti-Nrg1 group but no effect of DCS, measured by the frequency of Ca2+ responses. For CAG-GCaMP6s, with DCS, Rag vs. Nrg1, F1, 292 = 11.01, P < 0.01. For CaMKII-GCaMP6s, basal activity, Rag vs. Nrg1, F1, 494 = 5.22, P < 0.01. C. Higher neuronal activity was observed in the anti-Nrg1 group but no effect of DCS, measured by the total activity of Ca2+ responses. For CAG-GCaMP6s, basal activity, Rag vs. Nrg1, F1, 292 = 22.71, P < 0.001; with DCS, Rag vs. Nrg1, F1, 292 = 22.71, P < 0.01. For CaMKII-GCaMP6s, basal activity, Rag vs. Nrg1, F1, 494 = 5.22, P < 0.05; with DCS, Rag vs. Nrg1, F1, 494 = 5.22, P < 0.05.

description: Educational access and attainment are among the most pressing issues facing Indian Country.  Of particular challenge are those of post secondary education. American Indian students are retained and graduated from colleges at rates far below their non-Native peers.   Making a successful adjustment to college is a formidable challenge for many people. It is particularly challenging for American Indian students.  The authors provide recommendations for increasing the number of proportions of American Indian students who enter, and graduate from, college.

description: A deep neural network (NN) is used to simultaneously detect laser beams in images and measure their center coordinates, radii and angular orientations. A dataset of images containing simulated laser beams and a dataset of images with experimental laser beams, generated using a spatial light modulator, are used to train and evaluate the NN. After training on the simulated dataset the NN achieves beam parameter rootmean-square-errors (RMSEs) of less than 3.4% on the experimental dataset. Subsequent training on the experimental dataset causes the RMSEs to fall below 1.1%. The NN method can be used as a stand-alone measurement of the beam parameters or can compliment other beam profiling methods by providing an accurate region-of-interest.

description: Utah is a popular tourism destination, evidenced by the 10.7 million visitors who spent $7.5 billion in 2013 (BEBR, 2015). The tourism industry is an important component of Utah’s economy, but who are Utah tourists? A key research purpose of this study is to provide the demographic and psychographic information necessary to improve tourism industry practices through targeted marking and development. Data were collected from Utah tourists in 2013-2014 through an in-person survey in various tourist locations throughout Utah.
The characteristics, behaviors, and interests of Utah tourists, especially in regards to food and agricultural tourism, were examined in the context of consumer profiles. Exploratory factor and cluster analysis were used to group tourists according to demographic variables and participation in food and agriculture related activities when at home and while traveling. Seven factors underlying respondents’ perceptions of food and agriculture related practices when at home and while traveling were identified. Four consumer segments were then constructed using cluster analysis.
Examining the characteristics of tourists who make repeated return trips to Utah was another research purpose of this study. An ordered logit regression model was used to explore the relationship between return tourism and demographics, travel motivation, destination image, and travel experiences. Results suggested a positive correlation between propensity to return and certain travel motivations, such as traveling for business or to visit culture and heritage related sites, destination image, and travel experiences. Traveler age and traveling with children were negatively correlated with propensity to return.
Results suggested that marketers, tourism industry providers, businesses, and local governments may improve their operations through a better understanding of the characteristics and behaviors of specific consumer segments. The consumer segments explored in this study provide the information necessary for the development of targeted marketing campaigns directed towards specific tourist types. The information provided and examined in this study may also be used to develop attractions, activities, and products that encourage Utah tourists to spend their trip budget in ways that are most favorable to local businesses and producers. The importance of quality food and agriculture related offerings in the Utah tourism experience were also highlighted.

description: We investigate the possibility of parity being spontaneously violated in QCD at finite baryon density and temperature. The analysis is done for an idealized homogeneous and infinite nuclear matter where the influence of density can be examined with the help of constant chemical potential. QCD is approximated by a generalized sigma-model with two isomultiplets of scalars and pseudoscalars. The interaction with the chemical potential is introduced via the coupling to constituent quark fields as nucleons are not considered as point-like degrees of freedom in our approach. This mechanism of parity violation is based on interplay between lightest and heavier degrees of freedom and it cannot be understood in simple models retaining the pion and nucleon sectors solely. We argue that, in the appropriate environment (dense and hot nuclear matter of a few normal densities and moderate temperatures), parity violation may be the rule rather than the exception and its occurrence is well compatible with the existence of stable bound state of normal nuclear matter. We prove that the so called 'chiral collapse' never takes place for the parameter region supporting spontaneous parity violation.

description: The story of the development of food preservation is as old as the story of man. Cavemen and nomadic tribesmen have little heed to food preservation. They threw away the food left when their hunger was satisfied and searched for more when famished . However, from the time men began to settle down and have permanent homes, the need for some means of retarding food spoilage has been evident.
