description: Among the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s (KYTC) business units, the Department of Vehicle Regulation (DVR) has the most interactions with members of the public and other government agencies. Given its high profile and public visibility, it is critical for the department to provide high-quality customer service. Lacking data on customer perceptions of DVR’s level of service, the department commissioned researchers at the Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) to conduct a baseline and rebaseline customer satisfaction surveys. Along with administering surveys to external customers, KTC’s research team also polled DVR staff to gauge employee morale and identify areas which could be improved. Approximately 90% of departmental staff believe that DVR provides a high level of customer service, and most viewed the department’s divisions favorably. Staff, however, noted the importance of fostering an open, equitable, and collaborative workspace as well as the importance of having up-to-date technological tools to perform daily job functions. With respect to the baseline and rebaseline external customer surveys, this study measured a slight decline in overall customer satisfaction. In the baseline survey, 81% of respondents were very or somewhat satisfied with the service they received; in the rebaseline survey 77% said the same. Regression modeling found a strong negative relationship between number of call escalations (i.e., call transfers) and customer satisfaction; call duration had a smaller but negative impact on customer satisfaction. Survey respondents expressed a growing preference for using electronic means (email, website) to interact with DVR. Moving forward, it will be critical for DVR to dedicate resources to improving its website and streamlining other modes of electronic communication, reducing the number of call escalations, and shortening average call durations – particularly hold times.

description: The early stage of the chromium precipitation in copper was analyzed at the atomic scale by Atom Probe Tomography (APT). Quantitative data about the precipitate size, 3D shape, density, composition and volume fraction were obtained in a Cu-1Cr-0.1Zr (wt.%) commercial alloy aged at 713K. Surprisingly, nanoscaled precipitates exhibit various shapes (spherical, plates and ellipsoid) and contain a large amount of Cu (up to 50%), in contradiction with the equilibrium Cu-Cr phase diagram. APT data also show that some impurities (Fe) may segregate along Cu/Cr interfaces. The concomitant evolution of the precipitate shape and composition as a function of the aging time is discussed. A special emphasis is given on the competition between interfacial and elastic energy and on the role of Fe segregation.

The method has been applied, for the first time to our knowledge, to the imaging of small thin black objects located at different depths inside a turbid solution of polystyrene nanospheres and its performances assessed via comparison with standard imaging techniques. A simple theoretical model capable of describing the basic optics of DGI in turbid media is proposed.

description:
In partnership with RE Sources for Sustainable Communities based in Bellingham, Washington, this action research project led to the creation, implementation, and evaluation of the organization’s first youth-led organizing committee called Youth for Environment and People (YEP!). RE Sources for Sustainable Communities is an environmental education nonprofit located in Bellingham, Washington, whose mission is to, “promote sustainable communities and protect the health of northwestern Washington’s people and ecosystems through the application of science, education, advocacy and action” (RE Sources Website, 2017). Using Positive Youth Development (PYD) theory, we* implemented YEP! with the goal of increasing the teen participants’ political self-efficacy. To ensure the intended outcomes of the program would be met, I designed the program to incorporate the characteristics common to youth organizing programs which I found through a literature review and interviews with program coordinators. In order to create a program which was locally relevant and responsive, I conducted interviews with community members who have experience working with young people in the area. During the implementation, I collected qualitative data through focus groups and participant observation to determine if taking part in this committee led to increased political self-efficacy amongst the participants. This paper discusses some of the best practices of organizations supporting youth action as well as how participating in this youth-led initiative impacted the participants’ political self-efficacy. Finally, other important findings regarding the experiences of the YEP! members emerged from the data such as the value of collective efficacy.

description: The mangroves of Andaman and Nicobar constitute 12.39% of the total area of mangrove of the country. They are recognized as the best mangroves in the country as regards density and growth. About 99% of mangrove lies in Andaman Island and only 1% fall in Nicobar Island. They serve as a unique habitat for various fishes, crustaceans, aquatic organisms, birds, crocodiles, monkeys, etc. These rich and most productive ecosystem forms a basis for the food chain in the sea and coastal waters. They provide fuelwood, charcoal, timber, and wood chips and also helps to stabilize the shoreline and filter the land runoffs and green walls for soil erosion, thus key in stabilizing the loose soil from high wind velocity, tidal surges, and cyclonic storms. But in recent years the mangrove cover of the Islands has reduced from 686 km2 to 616 km2 showing a 10.20% decline. The major reason behind is the undervaluing of the ecosystem, as well as climate change implications.
Qudit Quantum Computation in the Jaynes-Cummings Model

description: We have developed methods for performing qudit quantum computation in the Jaynes-Cummings model with the qudits residing in a finite subspace of individual harmonic oscillator modes, resonantly coupled to a spin-1/2 system. The first method determines analytical control sequences for the one- and two-qudit gates necessary for universal quantum computation by breaking down the desired unitary transformations into a series of state preparations implemented with the Law-Eberly scheme. The second method replaces some of the analytical pulse sequences with more rapid numerically optimized sequences. In our third approach, we directly optimize the evolution of the system, without making use of any analytic techniques. While limited to smaller dimensional qudits, the third approach finds pulse sequences which carry out the desired gates in a time which is much shorter than either of the other two approaches.

description: We consider a symmetrical star-shaped network, in which bandwidth is shared among the active connections according to the "min" policy. Starting from a chaos propagation hypothesis, valid when the system is large enough, one can write equilibrium equations for an arbitrary link of the network. This paper describes an approach based on functional analysis of nonlinear integral operators, which allows to characterize quantitatively the behaviour of the network under heavy load conditions.

description: We evaluate two-body decay modes of neutralinos in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters (cMSSM). Assuming heavy scalar quarks we take into account all two-body decay channels involving charginos, neutralinos, (scalar) leptons, Higgs bosons and Standard Model gauge bosons. The evaluation of the decay widths is based on a full one-loop calculation including hard and soft QED radiation. Of particular phenomenological interest are decays involving the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP), i.e. the lightest neutralino, or a neutral or charged Higgs boson. For the chargino/neutralino sector we employ two different renormalization schemes, which differ in the treatment of the complex phases. In the numerical analysis we concentrate on the decay of the heaviest neutralino and show the results in the two different schemes. The higher-order corrections of the heaviest neutralino decay widths involving the LSP can easily reach a level of about 10-15%, while the corrections to the decays to Higgs bosons are up to 20-30%, translating into corrections of similar size in the respective branching ratios. The difference between the two schemes, indicating the size of unknown two-loop corrections, is less than order(0.1%). These corrections are important for the correct interpretation of LSP and Higgs production at the LHC and at a future linear e+e- collider. The results will be implemented into the Fortran code FeynHiggs.

description: The notion of Gem-Matveev complexity has been introduced within crystallization theory, as a combinatorial method to estimate Matveev's complexity of closed 3-manifolds; it yielded upper bounds for interesting classes of such manifolds. In this paper we extend the definition to the case of non-empty boundary and prove that for each compact irreducible and boundary-irreducible 3-manifold it coincides with the modified Heegaard complexity introduced by Cattabriga, Mulazzani and Vesnin. Moreover, via Gem-Matveev complexity, we obtain an estimation of Matveev's complexity for all Seifert 3-manifolds with base $\mathbb D^2$ and two exceptional fibers and, therefore, for all torus knot complements.

description: NaOH-reacted graphite oxide film was prepared by decomposing epoxy groups in graphite oxide into hydroxyl and -ONa groups with NaOH solution. Ultrafast carrier dynamics of the sample were studied by time-resolved transient differential reflection (\DeltaR/R). The data show two exponential relaxation processes. The slow relaxation process (\sim2ps) is ascribed to low energy acoustic phonon mediated scattering. The electron-phonon coupling and first-principles calculation results demonstrate that - OH and -ONa groups in the sample are strongly coupled. Thus, we attribute the fast relaxation process (\sim0.17ps) to the coupling of hydroxyl and -ONa groups in the sample.

description: With the development of numbers of high resolution data acquisition systems and the global requirement to lower the energy consumption, the development of efficient sensing techniques becomes critical. Recently, Compressed Sampling (CS) techniques, which exploit the sparsity of signals, have allowed to reconstruct signal and images with less measurements than the traditional Nyquist sensing approach. However, multichannel signals like Hyperspectral images (HSI) have additional structures, like inter-channel correlations, that are not taken into account in the classical CS scheme. In this paper we exploit the linear mixture of sources model, that is the assumption that the multichannel signal is composed of a linear combination of sources, each of them having its own spectral signature, and propose new sampling schemes exploiting this model to considerably decrease the number of measurements needed for the acquisition and source separation. Moreover, we give theoretical lower bounds on the number of measurements required to perform reconstruction of both the multichannel signal and its sources. We also proposed optimization algorithms and extensive experimentation on our target application which is HSI, and show that our approach recovers HSI with far less measurements and computational effort than traditional CS approaches.

description: Agricultural commodities are generally consumed as processed food. Therefore, it is indispensable to assess pesticide residues in processed products rather than only in the raw agricultural commodity, in order to approach a more realistic scenario of dietary exposure. Processing factors are important tools for dietary exposure risk assessments. In this study, processing factors for the baking process were derived for 41 pesticides in cereal bran-based biscuits. The raw materials used consisted of wheat, rye, oat, and barley grains with incurred pesticides, which originally was produced for test material for European Union Proficiency Tests. Information on physicochemical properties of pesticides was collected for understanding the fate of pesticides during the baking process. Average processing factors varied between 0.67 and 1.6. Most pesticide residues exhibited a reduction of pesticide residues of less than 24%, which correspond to a processing factor (PF) range between 1 and 0.76, showing resistance to the baking process. However, for polar compounds such as carbendazim and volatile compounds (chlorpyrifos-methyl, malathion, and pirimiphos-methyl) larger reduction rates were observed, up to 33% (PF: 0.67). In general, a prolonged baking time did not significantly affect the PF, because the main degradation process takes place within the first 6 min. However, this was not the case for the highly volatile compounds, highly polar compounds, and compounds of low degradation temperature. These latter were significantly reduced with prolonged baking time, resulting in a reduction rate of up to 95%, which means an almost complete elimination.

Elementary school libraries--Activity programs in elementary school libraries

description: In today’s library culture, outcomes-based evaluations (OBE) are becoming the gold standard for program design and evaluation. Organizations like American Library Association (ALA) are promoting the benefits and increased use of OBE’s in libraries, but the usage rate has been slow to grow. As well, research is limited in this area, based mainly in academic libraries and occasionally in public library settings, but not in school libraries. For this project, I developed an OBE tool for Frank Porter Graham Bilingüe, an elementary school library in Chapel Hill, NC. This tool will be used initially at their quarterly Media Night programs but will also have the ability to be modified for use with other programs. The tool was piloted at their December Media Night, the data was analyzed and presented to the librarian and technology administrator, and the tool was
modified based on stakeholder feedback and my own feedback. This project has the purpose of developing a usable tool that does not require a great deal of time to use, decreasing the barriers to using OBE in this school library setting. The results of this project and the model tool will also contribute to the limited research in the school library field.

description: A method for the simultaneous determination in mussel of 8 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 23 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and 35 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including alkyl-PAHs, was optimised using ultrasound-assisted cloudy extraction and gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). Optimal selection of the extraction solvent and the dispersing solvent contributed to a high extraction yield and a clean extract. The ranges of the lower limits of detection of PCBs, OCPs and PAHs were 0.012–0.058, 0.01–0.29 and 0.01–0.5 μg kg−1, respectively. The feasibility of the proposed method was validated by analysing standard reference materials of mussel with satisfactory results. The precision achieved by this method was in the range of 0.677–2.69% (PCBs), 1.14–6.60% (OCPs) and 0.694–7.46% (PAHs), and its accuracy was in the range of 101–104% (PCBs), 99.6–106% (OCPs) and 101–110% (PAHs). The advantages of the method include the simultaneous measurement of 66 analytes and the simplicity, low cost and high sensitivity of the procedure. When the proposed method was used to analyse the target compounds in 11 mussel samples, the analytical results displayed a concentration range of 0.41–0.45 µg kg−1 for PCBs, 0.26–6.49 µg kg−1 for OCPs, and 3.48–30.69 µg kg−1 for PAHs.

description: Nicotine is an alkaloid and a secondary plant metabolite that has been used as an insecticide. Despite their widespread application, the EU banned the use of nicotine-containing pesticides in December 2008. However, studies in Europe have found nicotine in mushrooms. Nicotine has also been detected in wild mushrooms, so there are other causes of contamination as well as pesticide. This study reports the development of GC-MS method for quantitatively analysing nicotine in mushrooms. This method provides recoveries of 89.5–92.5%, intra-day precisions of 0.32–0.85%, and inter-day precisions of 0.73–2.36%, with limits of detection and quantification of 0.38 and 1.15 μg kg-1, respectively. The relative expanded uncertainty result of 2.8–4.0% complies with CODEX requirements. The method was successfully applied to eleven mushroom samples in which nicotine was detected at levels of 0.033–1.713 mg kg-1. Therefore, this method is suitable for the quantification of nicotine in dried mushrooms to ensure pre-emptive food safety.

description: Some of the most pivotal moments in intellectual history occur when a new ideology sweeps through a society, supplanting an established system of beliefs in a rapid revolution of thought. Yet in many cases the new ideology is as extreme as the old. Why is it then that moderate positions so rarely prevail? Here, in the context of a simple model of opinion spreading, we test seven plausible strategies for deradicalizing a society and find that only one of them significantly expands the moderate subpopulation without risking its extinction in the process.

description: Financial fraud, particularly credit card fraud, continues to pose substantial challenges to financial institutions due to its increasing frequency and impact on consumer trust. While traditional rule-based methods have provided foundational defenses, their limitations in scalability and adaptability have accelerated the adoption of machine learning (ML) techniques. Concurrently, Benford’s Law—a statistical principle often used in forensic accounting—has demonstrated efficacy in detecting anomalies within naturally occurring numerical datasets. This study explores a hybrid fraud detection approach that integrates Benford’s Law with supervised machine learning algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and k-Nearest Neighbors. Using the publicly available European credit card fraud dataset from Kaggle, this research applies Benford’s Law to transaction amounts and incorporates derived features into ML models. The findings reveal that fraudulent transactions deviate significantly from Benford’s expected digit distributions, validating its use as a pre-screening tool. Among the evaluated models, Random Forest consistently outperformed others across metrics such as recall, F1-score, and AUC-ROC, particularly when enhanced with Benford-derived features. The integration of Benford’s Law improved anomaly detection accuracy and interpretability, bridging a notable gap in the existing literature. This research demonstrates the practical benefits of combining statistical digit analysis with machine learning to create more robust, accurate, and explainable fraud detection systems.

Recommendations for Monte Carlo nucleosynthesis sampling (Research Note)

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)

description: Context: Recent reaction rate evaluations include reaction rate uncertainties that have been determined in a statistically meaningful manner. Furthermore, reaction rate probability density distributions have been determined and published in the form of lognormal parameters with the specific goal of pursuing Monte Carlo nucleosynthesis studies. Aims: To test and assess different methods of randomly sampling over reaction rate probability densities and to determine the most accurate method for estimating elemental abundance uncertainties. Methods: Experimental Monte Carlo reaction rates are first computed for the 22Ne+alpha, 20Ne(p,g)21Na, 25Mg(p,g)26Al, and 18F(p,alpha)15O reactions, which are used to calculate reference nucleosynthesis yields for 16 nuclei affected by nucleosynthesis in massive stars and classical novae. Five different methods of randomly sampling over these reaction rate probability distributions are then developed, tested, and compared with the reference nucleosynthesis yields. Results: Given that the reaction rate probability density distributions can be described accurately with a lognormal distribution, Monte Carlo nucleosynthesis variations arising from the parametrised estimates for the reaction rate variations agree remarkably well with those obtained from the true rate samples. Most significantly, the most simple parametrisation agrees within just a few percent, meaning that Monte Carlo nucleosynthesis studies can be performed reliably using lognormal parametrisations of reaction rate probability density functions.

description: We recently reported a new measurement of the electron's electric dipole moment using YbF molecules [Nature 473, 493 (2011)]. Here, we give a more detailed description of the methods used to make this measurement, along with a fuller analysis of the data. We show how our methods isolate the electric dipole moment from imperfections in the experiment that might mimic it. We describe the systematic errors that we discovered, and the small corrections that we made to account for these. By making a set of additional measurements with greatly exaggerated experimental imperfections, we find upper bounds on possible uncorrected systematic errors which we use to determine the systematic uncertainty in the measurement. We also calculate the size of some systematic effects that have been important in previous electric dipole moment measurements, such as the motional magnetic field effect and the geometric phase, and show them to be negligibly small in the present experiment. Our result is consistent with an electric dipole moment of zero, so we provide upper bounds to its size at various confidence levels. Finally, we review the prospects for future improvements in the precision of the experiment.

description: The dynamical behaviour of many-body systems is often richer than what can be anticipated from their static properties. Here we show that in closed quantum systems this becomes evident by considering time-integrated observables as order parameters. In particular, the analytic properties of their generating functions, as estimated by full-counting statistics, allow to identify dynamical phases, i.e. phases with specific fluctuation properties of time-integrated observables, and to locate the transitions between these phases. We discuss in detail the case of the quantum Ising chain in a transverse field. We show that this model displays a continuum of quantum dynamical transitions, of which the static transition is just an end point. These singularities are not a consequence of particular choices of initial conditions or other external non-equilibrium protocols such as quenches in coupling constants. They can be probed generically through quantum jump statistics of an associated open problem, and for the case of the quantum Ising chain we outline a possible experimental realisation of this scheme by digital quantum simulation with cold ions.

title: Net Shore-Drift Along the Pacific Coast of Clallam and Jefferson Counties, Washington
Creators: name: Mahala, James
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 1985

description:
Geomorphic and sedimentologic indicators of shore drift were used to delineate the boundaries of drift unit cells and their direction of net shore-drift along the 110 km of Pacific coastline of Clallam and Jefferson Counties, Washington. These indicators include changes in bluff morphology, sediment size gradation, beach width and slope, direction of spit progradation and stream mouth diversion, deposition and/or erosion at drift obstructions, identifiable sediment, and nearshore bar orientation. Drift determinations were based on a field oriented approach emphasizing such long-term indicators, supplemented by aerial photography, and literature relevant to the coast.

Wind from the south-southwest prevail and predominate over Western Clallam and Jefferson Counties. This results in a northerly net shore-drift direction dominating along the study area. However, short drift reversals do occur in the wave shadow of headlands, where waves are refracted around nearshore islands and stacks, and where the orientation of the coast differs considerably from the overall trend.

Thirty drift cells, ranging from 0.4 km to over 26 km in length, have been identified and their direction of net shore-drift determined along the Pacific coast of Clallam and Jefferson Counties. The predominant southwesterly wind-generated waves dominate the direction of net shore-drift as evidenced by a northerly drift direction in all but six of the drift unit cells.
