description: Significance: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a public health problem, affecting individuals of all backgrounds and genders. IPV is a broad term, encompassing physical, psychological, and sexual abuse inflicted by one member of a partnership on the other member. This form of violence exists in both heterosexual and same-sex relationships and perpetrators and victims can be either male or female. Though IPV prevalence estimates vary, primarily due to the term's inconsistent definition in the literature, numerous negative health effects, including eating disorders and sexually transmitted infections as well as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, are associated with IPV victimization among women. Studies on IPV in same sex relationships provide estimates of IPV prevalence in same-sex relationships that closely mirror those of IPV prevalence in different-sex relationships. IPV is a growing concern among college students regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Project Deliverables: The 2012-2013 Capstone team revised an existing IPV prevention curriculum targeting college students. We conducted a literature review to identify existing curricula inclusive of all romantic relationships, both same-sex and opposite sex. We also edited the curriculum to an appropriate length to be implemented during two-hour meetings once per week, over five weeks. Using this revised curriculum, we created a pilot test plan and developed pilot test instruments to assess the program and its structure's feasibility prior to implementation. Our team then conducted the pilot test and compiled its findings in this summary report, with recommendations for implementation, and, again, revised the curriculum to reflect the pilot test findings. Implications: The significance of our curriculum is that it targets undergraduate students and challenges them to identify what they want in a relationship and whether or not a relationship can be considered healthy. We believe this is an important contribution to IPV prevention, as college students have increased autonomy when they enter a university setting and interactive curricula, such as the Healthy Relationships curriculum, allow for participants to contemplate what a healthy relationship would look like in the context of their lives. As a result of our Capstone project, UNC Student Wellness (SW) will be able to offer a new curriculum in addition to its current IPV prevention programs. As a long-term result, the new curriculum will decrease dating violence among UNC undergraduate students and increase the prevalence of healthy relationships among this population. We are confident that the institutionalization of the Healthy Relationships curriculum will provide a necessary service for UNC SW, by enhancing the utilization of campus resources to prevent IPV.

description: Source-Free domain adaptation transits the source-trained model towards target domain without exposing the source data, trying to dispel these concerns about data privacy and security. However, this paradigm is still at risk of data leakage due to adversarial attacks on the source model. Hence, the Black-Box setting only allows to use the outputs of source model, but still suffers from overfitting on the source domain more severely due to source model's unseen weights. In this paper, we propose a novel approach named RAIN (RegulArization on Input and Network) for Black-Box domain adaptation from both input-level and network-level regularization. For the input-level, we design a new data augmentation technique as Phase MixUp, which highlights task-relevant objects in the interpolations, thus enhancing input-level regularization and class consistency for target models. For network-level, we develop a Subnetwork Distillation mechanism to transfer knowledge from the target subnetwork to the full target network via knowledge distillation, which thus alleviates overfitting on the source domain by learning diverse target representations. Extensive experiments show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on several cross-domain benchmarks under both single- and multi-source black-box domain adaptation.

description: An approximation to the many-body London dispersion energy in molecular systems is expressed as a functional of the occupied orbitals only. The method is based on the local-RPA theory. The occupied orbitals are localized molecular orbitals and the virtual space is described by projected oscillator orbitals, i.e. functions obtained by multiplying occupied localized orbitals with solid spherical harmonic polynomials having their origin at the orbital centroids. Since we are interested in the long-range part of the correlation energy, responsible for dispersion forces, the electron repulsion is approximated by its multipolar expansion. This procedure leads to a fully non-empirical long-range correlation energy expression. Molecular dispersion coefficients calculated from determinant wave functions obtained by a range-separated hybrid method reproduce experimental values with less than 15% error.

description: We write down a geometric realization of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) extended by $n_f$ flavours of light sterile neutrinos, a so-called geo$ν$SMEFT. As with the geoSMEFT introduced by Helset, Martin and Trott, we show that a refactorization of the $ν$SMEFT's operator product expansion is possible, such that two- and three-point composite operator forms are dressed with field-space connections composed of towers of Higgs dressings and symmetry generators, valid at \emph{all-orders} in the $\overline{v}_T/Λ$ expansion parameter of the EFT ($\overline{v}_T \equiv \sqrt{2\langle H^\dagger H\rangle}$) . These connections are parameterized by real Higgs coordinates and contribute to the field-space geometry of the ($ν$)SM, with structure linked to the strength of Beyond-the-($ν$)Standard Model physics encoded in $\overline{v}_T/Λ$. In addition to enumerating the relevant composite operators and associated connections, we briefly outline the route to calculating all-$\overline{v}_T/Λ$-orders amplitudes, including the flavor-invariant theory required to understand the neutrino mass-eigenstate basis geometrically.

description: We study radiative corrections to the decay rate of false vacua, paying particular attention to the renormalization-scale dependence of the decay rate. The decay rate exponentially depends on the bounce action. The bounce action itself is renormalization scale dependent. To make the decay rate scale-independent, radiative corrections, which are due to the field fluctuations around the bounce, have to be included. We show quantitatively that the inclusion of the fluctuations suppresses the scale dependence, and hence is important for the precise calculation of the decay rate. We also apply our analysis to a supersymmetric model and show that the radiative corrections are important for the Higgs-stau system with charge breaking minima.

description: Nowadays, $f(R)$ theory has been one of the leading modified gravity theories to explain the current accelerated expansion of the universe, without invoking dark energy. It is of interest to find the exact cosmological solutions of $f(R)$ theories. Besides other methods, symmetry has been proved as a powerful tool to find exact solutions. On the other hand, symmetry might hint the deep physical structure of a theory, and hence considering symmetry is also well motivated. As is well known, Noether symmetry has been extensively used in physics. Recently, the so-called Hojman symmetry was also considered in the literature. Hojman symmetry directly deals with the equations of motion, rather than Lagrangian or Hamiltonian, unlike Noether symmetry. In this work, we consider Hojman symmetry in $f(R)$ theories in both the metric and Palatini formalisms, and find the corresponding exact cosmological solutions of $f(R)$ theories via Hojman symmetry. There exist some new solutions significantly different from the ones obtained by using Noether symmetry in $f(R)$ theories. To our knowledge, they also have not been found previously in the literature. This work confirms that Hojman symmetry can bring new features to cosmology and gravity theories.

description: We describe a novel approach to the detection and parameter estimation of a non\textendash Gaussian stochastic background of gravitational waves. The method is based on the determination of relevant statistical parameters using importance sampling. We show that it is possible to improve the Gaussian detection statistics, by simulating realizations of the expected signal for a given model. While computationally expensive, our method improves the detection performance, leveraging the prior knowledge on the expected signal, and can be used in a natural way to extract physical information about the background. We present the basic principles of our approach, characterize the detection statistic performances in a simplified context and discuss possible applications to the detection of some astrophysical foregrounds. We argue that the proposed approach, complementarily to the ones available in literature might be used to detect suitable astrophysical foregrounds by currently operating and future gravitational wave detectors.

Entanglement with Centers

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Entanglement is a physical phenomenon that each state cannot be described individually. Entanglement entropy gives quantitative understanding to the entanglement. We use decomposition of the Hilbert space to discuss properties of the entanglement. Therefore, partial trace operator becomes important to define the reduced density matrix from different centers, which commutes with all elements in the Hilbert space, corresponding to different entanglement choices or different observations on entangling surface. Entanglement entropy is expected to satisfy the strong subadditivity. We discuss decomposition of the Hilbert space for the strong subadditivity and other related inequalities. The entanglement entropy with centers can be computed from the Hamitonian formulations systematically, provided that we know wavefunctional. In the Hamitonian formulation, it is easier to obtain symmetry structure. We consider massless $p$-form theory as an example. The massless $p$-form theory in ($2p+2)$-dimensions has global symmetry, similar to the electric-magnetic duality, connecting centers in ground state. This defines a duality structure in centers. Because it is hard to exactly compute the entanglement entropy from partial trace operator, we propose the Lagrangian formulation from the Hamitonian formulation to compute the entanglement entropy with centers. From the Lagrangian method and saddle point approximation, the codimension two surface term (leading order) in the Einstein gravity theory or holographic entanglement entropy should correspond to non-tensor product decomposition (center is not identity). Finally, we compute the entanglement entropy of the $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills lattice gauge theory in the fundamental representation using the strong coupling expansion in the extended lattice model to obtain spatial area term in total dimensions larger than two for $N>1$.

description: Background: Adolescents between the ages of 13 and 24 account for over one-quarter of new HIV infections in the United States (U.S.), with approximately 24% of new HIV infections in North Carolina (NC) occurring among youth in this age group. There exists a need to provide effective sexual health education for high school and undergraduate youth in NC, as studies conducted across the globe have found sexual health education to improve safe sexual behaviors among youth under the age of 25. Methods: The Capstone team partnered with the UCLA Art and Global Health Center (UCLA AGHC) and the AMP! NC pilot site to refine and promote sustainability of the undergraduate near-peer educator component of AMP!, a theater-based sexual health education and HIV prevention program for adolescents. The Capstone team employed a variety of methods and skills to complete five deliverables, which included literature search; curriculum design and instruction; qualitative analysis; manuscript development and preparation; and cognitive interviewing. Results: The Capstone team produced five deliverables: 1) an HIV training facilitator's guide with accompanying materials to train AMP!'s undergraduate performers in HIV basics; 2) report from cognitive interviews, which provides suggestions for adaptation of a questionnaire designed to evaluate program impact on undergraduate student participants; 3) qualitative data analysis on written data from undergraduate student AMP! participants and a manuscript summarizing these findings; 4) a research brief highlighting the main evaluation findings from 2012-2013; and 5) a funder's package that includes potential funding opportunities, the aforementioned research brief, program summary pages, and photos and testimonials from AMP! participants. Discussion: The deliverables produced increased the sustainability of AMP! NC, and increased the feasibility of implementing AMP! as a standardized intervention in other sites across the U.S. These deliverables may help to increase youth activism around prevention of HIV and other STIs.

description: We present quantitative probing as a model-agnostic framework for validating causal models in the presence of quantitative domain knowledge. The method is constructed as an analogue of the train/test split in correlation-based machine learning and as an enhancement of current causal validation strategies that are consistent with the logic of scientific discovery. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated using Pearl's sprinkler example, before a thorough simulation-based investigation is conducted. Limits of the technique are identified by studying exemplary failing scenarios, which are furthermore used to propose a list of topics for future research and improvements of the presented version of quantitative probing. The code for integrating quantitative probing into causal analysis, as well as the code for the presented simulation-based studies of the effectiveness of quantitative probing is provided in two separate open-source Python packages.

description: Background: Each year in North Carolina (NC), more than 370 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer (CCFNC, 2003). It is estimated that 70% of cervical cancer cases are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Although cervical cancer can be prevented through the human papillomavirus vaccination, rates among adolescents in NC remain low (CCFNC, 2011). Methods: To improve adolescent HPV vaccination rates across NC, we assisted with the evaluation of two adolescent vaccination interventions including the Rockingham County School Health Center Program and the Assessment, Feedback, eXchange, and Incentives (AFIX) Program. For the School Health Center Program, we completed 48 phone interviews with parents and guardians of adolescents attending Rockingham County high schools regarding their satisfaction with the SHC program. For the AFIX Project, we analyzed baseline and follow up data for 91 NC immunization providers to determine the efficacy of the AFIX intervention. Results and Discussion: The results for both projects were not finalized before the submission of this assignment.

description: Radio relics are synchrotron emission found on the periphery of galaxy clusters. From the position and the morphology, it is often believed that the relics are generated by cosmic-ray (CR) electrons accelerated at shocks through a diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) mechanism. However, some radio relics have harder spectra than the prediction of the standard DSA model. One example is observed in the cluster 1RXS J0603.3+4214, which is often called the ``Toothbrush Cluster''. Interestingly, the position of the relic is shifted from that of a possible shock. In this study, we show that these discrepancies in the spectrum and the position can be solved if turbulent (re)acceleration is very effective behind the shock. This means that for some relics turbulent reacceleration may be the main mechanism to produce high-energy electrons, contrary to the common belief that it is the DSA. Moreover, we show that for efficient reacceleration, the effective mean free path of the electrons has to be much smaller than their Coulomb mean free path. We also study the merging cluster 1E 0657-56 or the ``Bullet Cluster'', in which a radio relic has not been found at the position of the prominent shock ahead of the bullet. We indicate that a possible relic at the shock is obscured by the observed large radio halo that is generated by strong turbulence behind the shock. We propose a simple explanation if the morphological differences of radio emission among the Toothbrush, the Bullet, and the Sausage (CIZA J2242.8+5301) Clusters.

description: Cough audio signal classification is a potentially useful tool in screening for respiratory disorders, such as COVID-19. Since it is dangerous to collect data from patients with such contagious diseases, many research teams have turned to crowdsourcing to quickly gather cough sound data, as it was done to generate the COUGHVID dataset. The COUGHVID dataset enlisted expert physicians to diagnose the underlying diseases present in a limited number of uploaded recordings. However, this approach suffers from potential mislabeling of the coughs, as well as notable disagreement between experts. In this work, we use a semi-supervised learning (SSL) approach to improve the labeling consistency of the COUGHVID dataset and the robustness of COVID-19 versus healthy cough sound classification. First, we leverage existing SSL expert knowledge aggregation techniques to overcome the labeling inconsistencies and sparsity in the dataset. Next, our SSL approach is used to identify a subsample of re-labeled COUGHVID audio samples that can be used to train or augment future cough classification models. The consistency of the re-labeled data is demonstrated in that it exhibits a high degree of class separability, 3x higher than that of the user-labeled data, despite the expert label inconsistency present in the original dataset. Furthermore, the spectral differences in the user-labeled audio segments are amplified in the re-labeled data, resulting in significantly different power spectral densities between healthy and COVID-19 coughs, which demonstrates both the increased consistency of the new dataset and its explainability from an acoustic perspective. Finally, we demonstrate how the re-labeled dataset can be used to train a cough classifier. This SSL approach can be used to combine the medical knowledge of several experts to improve the database consistency for any diagnostic classification task.

description: Click-Through Rate (CTR) estimation has become one of the most fundamental tasks in many real-world applications and various deep models have been proposed. Some research has proved that FiBiNet is one of the best performance models and outperforms all other models on Avazu dataset. However, the large model size of FiBiNet hinders its wider application. In this paper, we propose a novel FiBiNet++ model to redesign FiBiNet's model structure, which greatly reduces model size while further improves its performance. One of the primary techniques involves our proposed "Low Rank Layer" focused on feature interaction, which serves as a crucial driver of achieving a superior compression ratio for models. Extensive experiments on three public datasets show that FiBiNet++ effectively reduces non-embedding model parameters of FiBiNet by 12x to 16x on three datasets. On the other hand, FiBiNet++ leads to significant performance improvements compared to state-of-the-art CTR methods, including FiBiNet.

description: The set of solutions to the AdS$_3$ Einstein gravity with Brown-Henneaux boundary conditions is known to be a family of metrics labeled by two arbitrary periodic functions, respectively left and right-moving. It turns out that there exists an appropriate presymplectic form which vanishes on-shell. This promotes this set of metrics to a phase space in which the Brown-Henneaux asymptotic symmetries become symplectic symmetries in the bulk of spacetime. Moreover, any element in the phase space admits two global Killing vectors. We show that the conserved charges associated with these Killing vectors commute with the Virasoro symplectic symmetry algebra, extending the Virasoro symmetry algebra with two $U(1)$ generators. We discuss that any element in the phase space falls into the coadjoint orbits of the Virasoro algebras and that each orbit is labeled by the $U(1)$ Killing charges. Upon setting the right-moving function to zero and restricting the choice of orbits, one can take a near-horizon decoupling limit which preserves a chiral half of the symplectic symmetries. Here we show two distinct but equivalent ways in which the chiral Virasoro symplectic symmetries in the near-horizon geometry can be obtained as a limit of the bulk symplectic symmetries.

description: We provide elementary algorithms for two preservation theorems for first-order sentences (FO) on the class âd of all finite structures of degree at most d: For each FO-sentence that is preserved under extensions (homomorphisms) on âd, a âd-equivalent existential (existential-positive) FO-sentence can be constructed in 5-fold (4-fold) exponential time. This is complemented by lower bounds showing that a 3-fold exponential blow-up of the computed existential (existential-positive) sentence is unavoidable. Both algorithms can be extended (while maintaining the upper and lower bounds on their time complexity) to input first-order sentences with modulo m counting quantifiers (FO+MODm). Furthermore, we show that for an input FO-formula, a âd-equivalent Feferman-Vaught decomposition can be computed in 3-fold exponential time. We also provide a matching lower bound.

The relative importance of cooling on-chip and off-chip components and the thermal subsystem dynamics are yet to be analyzed. We study a Coulomb blockade thermometer with on-chip copper refrigerant both experimentally and numerically, showing that dynamics in this device are captured by a first-principles model. Our work shows how to simulate thermal dynamics in devices down to microkelvin temperatures, and outlines a recipe for a low-investment platform for quantum technologies and fundamental nanoscience in this novel temperature range.

description: We use the stellar-mass-selected catalog from the Spitzer Large Area Survey with Hyper-Suprime-Cam (SPLASH) in the COSMOS field to study the environments of galaxies via galaxy density and clustering analyses up to $z \sim 2.5$. The clustering strength of quiescent galaxies exceeds that of star-forming galaxies, implying that quiescent galaxies are preferentially located in more massive halos. When using local density measurement, we find a clear positive quiescent fraction--density relation at $z < 1$, consistent with earlier results. However, the quiescent fraction--density relation reverses its trend at intermediate redshifts ($1 < z < 1.5$) with marginal significance (<1.8$σ$) and is found to be scale dependent (1.6$σ$). The lower fraction of quiescent galaxies seen in large-scale dense environments, if confirmed to be true, may be associated with the fact that the star formation can be more easily sustained via cold stream accretion in `large-scale' high-density regions, preventing galaxies from permanent quenching. Finally, at $z > 1.5$, the quiescent fraction depends little on the local density, even though clustering shows that quiescent galaxies are in more massive halos. We argue that at high redshift the typical halo size falls below $10^{13}$ $M_{\odot}$, where intrinsically the local density measurements are so varied that they do not trace the halo mass. Our results thus suggest that in the high-redshift Universe, halo mass may be the key in quenching the star formation in galaxies, rather than the conventionally measured galaxy density.

Data sharing policy development guidelines
Creators: name: ARDC
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Data sharing policy, DSP, data sharing, research data management, data governance

description: Our Data Sharing Policy Development Guidelines provide information and guidance on developing a data sharing policy (DSP), a policy written by an organisation or a group to address:

 - the types of data the agencies have in their custody
 - the principles and strategy around the sharing of that data
 - the governance and management procedures that should be followed when that data is being shared.

 It lays out, in general terms, how that organisation or group will respond to requests to share the data.

 A data sharing policy should be agreed on whenever there is a need or an intention to share data created by a research project or projects. The policy ensures that all data requests are handled consistently and appropriately. It also ensures that both the data holder and potential data requesters understand the process of making and assessing requests.

 These guidelines discuss the ‘how’ and ‘what’ of developing a data sharing policy, specifically how one can be created and what components it usually has.

 NOTES ON DATA SHARING AGREEMENTS

 A data sharing policy is different from a data sharing agreement (DSA), a formal agreement between a data provider and a data requester that refers to a specific case of data sharing.

 When a data sharing request is made, the provider’s data sharing policy will inform the process by which the provider receives the request, how and by whom the request is assessed, and the conditions under which the provider is willing to make the data available. These conditions will be reflected in the data sharing agreement between the data provider and the data requester. A data sharing agreement can therefore be seen to instantiate the data provider’s data sharing policy.

 The ARDC has another set of guidelines for developing a data sharing agreement. Read the guidelines.

Chromospheric sunspots in the millimeter range as observed by the Nobeyama Radioheliograph

description: We investigate the upper chromosphere and the transition region of the sunspot umbra using the radio brightness temperature at 34 GHz (corresponding to 8.8-mm observations) as observed by the Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH). Radio free-free emission in the longer millimeter range is generated around the transition region, and its brightness temperature yields the region's temperature and density distribution. We use the NoRH data at 34 GHz by applying the Steer-CLEAN image synthesis. These data and the analysis method enable us to investigate the chromospheric structures in the longer millimeter range with high spatial resolution and sufficient visibilities. We also perform simultaneous observations of one sunspot using the NoRH and the Nobeyama 45-m telescope operating at 115 GHz. We determine that 115-GHz emission mainly originates from the lower chromosphere while 34-GHz emission mainly originates from the upper chromosphere and transition region. These observational results are consistent with the radio emission characteristics estimated from the current atmospheric models of the chromosphere. On the other hand, the observed brightness temperature of the umbral region is almost the same as that of the quiet region. This result is inconsistent with the current sunspot models, which predict a considerably higher brightness temperature of the sunspot umbra at 34 GHz. This inconsistency suggests that the temperature of the region at which the 34 GHz radio emission becomes optically thick should be lower than that predicted by the models.

Caswell County Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Access Project
Creators: name: Chávez, Rebecca
name: Williams, Tiffany

name: Horvitz, Casey
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Background: A lack of access to and consumption of diverse, healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables is linked to negative health outcomes. Caswell County, North Carolina is a rural food desert, and its low-income residents are vulnerable to diet-related illnesses, particularly cardiovascular disease and obesity. Methods: The Capstone team completed four deliverables culminating in recommendations for sustainable improvements to access to fresh fruits and vegetables in Caswell County. Each product represented a sequential phase of data collection necessary to make evidence-based recommendations. The first deliverable was an in-depth, qualitative community assessment, informed by key informant interviews, online survey data, and extensive field observation. The second deliverable consisted of a mixed-methods assessment of 22 retail food outlets in the county, based on the pricing, promotion, placement, and product availability of fruits and vegetables. Following this fieldwork, the Capstone team reviewed four categories of existing intervention models to inform a recommendation of the most appropriate fit for Caswell County. The fourth and last deliverable laid the foundation for a pilot implementation of the recommended intervention model. The Capstone team conducted interviews with four storeowners to determine their readiness to implement a healthy corner store pilot program in Caswell County. Results: The community assessment, food outlet survey, and review of intervention models informed the Capstone team's recommendation of a healthy corner store initiative for Caswell County. This recommendation was made based on limited funding and dedicated staffing, and was designed to build on Caswell's existing food system infrastructure. The storeowner interviews laid out first steps in the implementation of a pilot project to be conducted by the Community Transformation Grant Project, the Capstone partner organization in Caswell County. Discussion: The assessment tools and guidance for adapting intervention models developed by the Capstone team laid the foundation for enhancing access to fresh fruits and vegetables in Caswell County via healthy corner stores. The findings from this project have implications for rural food deserts around the county by contributing to the evidence base for best practices in limited resource settings.

description: In a companion paper, a faceted wideband imaging technique for radio interferometry, dubbed Faceted HyperSARA, has been introduced and validated on synthetic data. Building on the recent HyperSARA approach, Faceted HyperSARA leverages the splitting functionality inherent to the underlying primal-dual forward-backward algorithm to decompose the image reconstruction over multiple spatio-spectral facets. The approach allows complex regularization to be injected into the imaging process while providing additional parallelization flexibility compared to HyperSARA. The present paper introduces new algorithm functionalities to address real datasets, implemented as part of a fully fledged MATLAB imaging library made available on Github. A large scale proof-of-concept is proposed to validate Faceted HyperSARA in a new data and parameter scale regime, compared to the state-of-the-art. The reconstruction of a 15 GB wideband image of Cyg A from 7.4 GB of VLA data is considered, utilizing 1440 CPU cores on a HPC system for about 9 hours. The conducted experiments illustrate the reconstruction performance of the proposed approach on real data, exploiting new functionalities to leverage known direction-dependent effects (DDEs), for an accurate model of the measurement operator, and an effective noise level accounting for imperfect calibration. They also demonstrate that, when combined with a further dimensionality reduction functionality, Faceted HyperSARA enables the recovery of a 3.6 GB image of Cyg A from the same data using only 91 CPU cores for 39 hours. In this setting, the proposed approach is shown to provide a superior reconstruction quality compared to the state-of-the-art wideband CLEAN-based algorithm of the WSClean software.
