description: We address the problem of mass measurements of supersymmetric particles at the Large Hadron Collider, using the ATLAS detector as an example. By using Markov Chain sampling techniques to combine standard measurements of kinematic edges in the invariant mass distributions of decay products with a measurement of a missing $p_T$ cross-section, we show that the precision of mass measurements at the LHC can be dramatically improved, even when we do not assume that we have measured the kinematic endpoints precisely, or that we have identified exactly which particles are involved in the decay chain causing the endpoints. The generality of the technique is demonstrated in a preliminary investigation of a non-universal SUGRA model, in which we relax the requirements of mSUGRA by breaking the degeneracy of the GUT scale gaugino masses. The model studied is compatible with the WMAP limits on dark matter relic density.

description: Gravity and thermal energy are universal phenomena which compete over the stabilization of astrophysical systems. The former induces an inward pressure driving collapse and the latter a stabilizing outward pressure generated by random motion and energy dispersion. Since a contracting self-gravitating system is heated up one may wonder why is gravitational collapse not halted in all cases at a sufficient high temperature establishing either a gravo-thermal equilibrium or explosion. Here, based on the equivalence between mass and energy, we show that there always exists a temperature threshold beyond which the gravitation of thermal energy overcomes its stabilizing pressure and the system collapses under the weight of its own heat.
Group-Skeleton-Based Human Action Recognition in Complex Events

description: Human action recognition as an important application of computer vision has been studied for decades. Among various approaches, skeleton-based methods recently attract increasing attention due to their robust and superior performance. However, existing skeleton-based methods ignore the potential action relationships between different persons, while the action of a person is highly likely to be impacted by another person especially in complex events. In this paper, we propose a novel group-skeleton-based human action recognition method in complex events. This method first utilizes multi-scale spatial-temporal graph convolutional networks (MS-G3Ds) to extract skeleton features from multiple persons. In addition to the traditional key point coordinates, we also input the key point speed values to the networks for better performance. Then we use multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) to embed the distance values between the reference person and other persons into the extracted features. Lastly, all the features are fed into another MS-G3D for feature fusion and classification. For avoiding class imbalance problems, the networks are trained with a focal loss. The proposed algorithm is also our solution for the Large-scale Human-centric Video Analysis in Complex Events Challenge. Results on the HiEve dataset show that our method can give superior performance compared to other state-of-the-art methods.

description: The almost 20 million female millennial knowledge workers enhance products, services, and customers in American businesses by applying their skillset knowledge. While participative management theories, like William Ouchi's Theory Z, are known to promote employee productivity and loyalty it is noted that they only focus on the majority population. This study looked to extend existing participative management theories to include the female millennial knowledge worker and avoid negative costs associated with poor productivity and turnover. This manuscript highlights key results from a qualitative embedded single-case study that explored the influence participative management techniques had on the turnover and productivity of female millennial knowledge workers. This study extended participative management theory to include the female millennial knowledge worker and noted that managers with female millennial knowledge employees should consider a focus on employee development, timely feedback, and cultivating a positive working environment. Keywords: female, millennial, knowledge worker, participative management, productivity, turnover.

Subjects: classificationCode: 420104
subject: Occupational therapy

description: Scar massage is a commonly used treatment for hand and upper limb scars following surgery, but there is little research to support its use. This thesis explores the published evidence for post-surgical scar massage, how it is used by Australian hand therapists, and whether people receiving scar massage have different outcomes from those who receive another treatment. The findings suggest scar massage may improve appearance, movement, pain, and function. Still, there is a lack of consistency in how scar massage is prescribed and how the benefits are assessed, in both the research and clinical settings.

Year: 2017

description: Through this study the researchers sought to describe and understand the unidirectional and recursive impact of major life and career decisions on female higher education faculty, and subsequently scaffold emergent themes using life course theory. Semi- structured interviews were conducted with 12 female faculty members at an institution in the Intermountain west. Qualitative inquiry was used to analyze the interviews, providing rich descriptions and understanding from the perspective of the individuals' lived experience. Five themes emerged from the interview data. These themes were then scaffolded within life course theory to frame an understanding of the interplay of major life and career decisions on the career trajectories of female higher education faculty. The themes were geographical choice, family, support structures, job type, and time/balance. These themes illustrated the primary aspects of life course theory, particularly the Timing of lives, Linked or interdependent lives, Human agency in making choices, Developmental risk and protection, and Diversity in life course trajectories. The usefulness of applying this theory when considering female faculty perceptions about their lived experiences was supported by the study findings; facilitating and deepening our understanding of the interaction of life events and career decisions among female faculty in the academy. Keywords: work life balance, career trajectory, female faculty, life course theory

description: Over the past few years several quantum machine learning algorithms were proposed that promise quantum speed-ups over their classical counterparts. Most of these learning algorithms either assume quantum access to data -- making it unclear if quantum speed-ups still exist without making these strong assumptions, or are heuristic in nature with no provable advantage over classical algorithms. In this paper, we establish a rigorous quantum speed-up for supervised classification using a general-purpose quantum learning algorithm that only requires classical access to data. Our quantum classifier is a conventional support vector machine that uses a fault-tolerant quantum computer to estimate a kernel function. Data samples are mapped to a quantum feature space and the kernel entries can be estimated as the transition amplitude of a quantum circuit. We construct a family of datasets and show that no classical learner can classify the data inverse-polynomially better than random guessing, assuming the widely-believed hardness of the discrete logarithm problem. Meanwhile, the quantum classifier achieves high accuracy and is robust against additive errors in the kernel entries that arise from finite sampling statistics.

description: The discovery of quantum oscillations in the normal-state electrical resistivity of YBa2Cu3O6.5 provides the first evidence for the existence of Fermi surface (FS) pockets in an underdoped cuprate. However, the pockets' electron vs. hole character, and the very interpretation in terms of closed FS contours, are the subject of considerable debate. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), with its ability to probe electronic dispersion as well as the FS, is ideally suited to address this issue. Unfortunately, the ARPES study of YBa2C3O7-d (YBCO) has been hampered by the technique's surface sensitivity. Here we show that this stems from the polarity and corresponding self-doping of the YBCO surface. By in-situ deposition of potassium atoms on the cleaved surface, we are able to continuously tune the doping of a single sample from the heavily overdoped to the underdoped regime. This reveals the progressive collapse of the normal-metal-like FS into four disconnected nodal FS arcs, or perhaps into hole but not electron pockets, in underdoped YBCO6.5.

description: In recent years, deep learning has made remarkable strides, surpassing human capabilities in tasks like strategy games, and it has found applications in complex domains, including protein folding. In the realm of quantum chemistry, machine learning methods have primarily served as predictive tools or design aids using generative models, while reinforcement learning remains in its early stages of exploration. This work introduces an actor-critic reinforcement learning framework suitable for diverse optimization tasks, such as searching for molecular structures with specific properties within conformational spaces. As an example, we show an implementation of this scheme for calculating minimum energy pathways of a Claisen rearrangement reaction and a number of SN2 reactions. Our results show that the algorithm is able to accurately predict minimum energy pathways and thus, transition states, therefore providing the first steps in using actor-critic methods to study chemical reactions.

description: Women in business are often confronted by work environments which influence career/leadership choices and family decisions, as noted in the recent New York Times article, "More Than Their Mothers, Young Women Plan Career Pauses" (Miller, 2015). Those in the millennial generation, born between the years 1981-1997, are learning by example from previous generations what career options they would like to pursue and not pursue. Although individuals in this generation may think differently than their predecessors, they may also fail to understand and take action on career, leadership, and family opportunities available to them. This research focuses on developing leadership skills and career awareness amongst students at a small liberal arts institution after business faculty noted a higher percentage of students intending to pursue careers as homemakers versus businesspeople. The program, focused on getting the conversation started at the college level to prepare students for the business world, was based upon the research presented in the book Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg (2013) as well as the resources provided on the leanin.org website. The program exposed students, university faculty, and staff to female leaders at various stages in their careers through interactive, discussion-based sessions. Program developers also conducted empirical quantitative research on the student participants to identify changes in attitudes and behaviors as a result of participating in the program and found significant changes in student's ability to network and level of self-efficacy — issues addressed within the sessions. Significant differences were also noted between those choosing to participate in the program and a control group of non-participants. In addition, what initially began as a programming initiative to gain awareness around leaning in, or taking a more active leadership role, has since evolved to become a student-led effort that involves leaning out, such as working with others as mentors through collaboration with outside organizations. Keywords: leadership development, gender, women in business, mentoring.

description: We investigate false vacuum decay of a relativistic scalar field initialized in the metastable minimum of an asymmetric double-well potential. The transition to the true ground state is a well-defined initial-value problem in real time, which can be formulated in nonequilibrium quantum field theory on a closed time path. We employ the non-perturbative framework of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) quantum effective action at next-to-leading order in a large-N expansion. We also compare to classical-statistical field theory simulations on a lattice in the high-temperature regime. By this, we demonstrate that the real-time decay rates are comparable to those obtained from the conventional Euclidean (bounce) approach. In general, we find that the decay rates are time dependent. For a more comprehensive description of the dynamics, we extract a time-dependent effective potential, which becomes convex during the nonequilibrium transition process. By solving the quantum evolution equations for the one- and two-point correlation functions for vacuum initial conditions, we demonstrate that quantum corrections can lead to transitions that are not captured by classical-statistical approximations.

Here a concrete model of the transfer of angular momentum from the rotating central body to the orbital motion of the whole 2-body system is presented, where particularly the transfer is caused by the inhomogeneous gravitational force of the moon acting on the oceanic waters of the earth, being modeled by a spherical shell around the solid earth. The theory is numerically tested. Key words: transfer of angular momentum from earth to moon, action of the gravitational force of the moon on the waters of the earth.

The Influence of Online Social Capital On Women's Career Change
Creators: name: Maguire, Diana

Year: 2017

description: Women seeking to manage their careers have faced numerous challenges for decades. The influence of social capital on women's careers has been a concern of researchers, particularly within the contexts of women's underrepresentation in businesses' higher organizational ranks and societal expectations for women. This research builds on previous career studies and improves the understanding of women's career changes with consideration of their social capital behaviors online. The two research questions in the study are: To what degree does online social capital impact women's ability to make desired career changes in business? To what degree do workingwomen view online social networking platforms as a viable means to develop and maintain social capital? In phase one, a quantitative study was conducted via an online survey of over two hundred women working within nearly fifty companies in a southwestern New York and northwestern Pennsylvania region. In phase two, follow-up qualitative questions were asked of an age-stratified sample of women working in the region. The findings suggest that women's use of direct communications channels online is associated with developing and maintaining professional network contacts. Women in the study indicated a limited use and perception of social media tools for developing social capital. Factors including age and field of work were found to impact women's use of social media professionally as well. Future implications suggest investigating the activities women use to develop and maintain their career-related social capital networks over time to identify potential shifts in behavior or social media acceptance.

description: Recently BESIII collaboration discovered a charged strange hidden-charm state $Z_{cs}$(3985) in the $D_s^-D^{*0} + D_s^{*-}D^{0}$ spectrum. A higher $Z'_{cs}$ state coupling to $\bar{D}_s^{*-}D^{*0}$ is expected by SU(3)-flavor symmetry, and their bottom partners are anticipated by heavy quark flavor symmetry. Here we study the photoproduction of these exotic states and investigate carefully the background from Pomeron exchange. Our results indicate that the maximal photoproduction cross section of strange partner is around 1 $\sim$ 2 orders of magnitude smaller than that of the corresponding non-strange states. The possibility of searching for them in future electron-ion colliders (EIC) is briefly discussed.

description: The lack of women in senior positions in STEM within higher education is an ongoing concern. Identifying the barriers that STEM women face to progress their careers remains an important area of research. While previous studies have explored some of challenges associated with the gendered culture within higher education, less is known about the additional barriers faced by women with children. Using a survey of STEM women in the UK this study examines the influence motherhood has on women's perceptions of organisational support, mentoring and networking and identifies that STEM women with children are found to have less opportunity to engage with mentoring or to benefit from formal or informal networks within the institution. The findings have significant implications for the career progression of women with children and suggest that review of HR policy and practice to facilitate greater organisational support and in particular mentoring and networking requires the institution to take a far more proactive approach. Keywords: Women, STEM, networking, higher education.

description: Working within the deep-MOND limit (DML), I describe spherical, self-gravitating systems governed by a polytropic equation of state, $P=\mathcal{K}ρ^γ$. As self-consistent structures, such systems can serve as heuristic models for DML, astronomical systems, such as dwarf spheroidal galaxies, low-surface-density elliptical galaxies and star clusters, and diffuse galaxy groups. They can also serve as testing ground for various theoretical MOND inferences. In dimensionless form, the equation satisfied by the radial density profile $ζ(y)$ is (for $γ\not=1$) $[\int_0^y ζ\bar y^2 d\bar y]^{1/2}=-yd(ζ^{γ-1})/dy$. Or, $θ^n(y)=y^{-2}[(yθ')^2]'$, where $θ=ζ^{γ-1}$, and $n\equiv (γ-1)^{-1}$. I discuss properties of the solutions, contrasting them with those of their Newtonian analogues -- the Lane-Emden polytropes. Due to the stronger MOND gravity, all DML polytropes have a finite mass, and for $n1$) all have a finite radius. (Lane-Emden spheres have a finite mass only for $n\le 5$.) I use the DML polytropes to study DML scaling relations. For example, they satisfy a universal relation (for all $\mathcal{K}$ and $γ$) between the total mass, $M$, and the mass-average velocity dispersion $σ$: $MGa_0=(9/4)σ^4$. However, the relation between $M$ and other measures of the velocity dispersion, such as the central, projected one, $\barσ$, does depend on $n$ (but not $\mathcal{K}$), defining a `fundamental surface' in the $[M,~\barσ,~n]$ space. I also describe the generalization to anisotropic polytropes, which also all have a finite radius (for $γ>1$), and all satisfy the above universal $M-σ$ relation. This more extended class of models exhibits the central-surface-densities relation: a tight relation between the baryonic and the dynamical central surface densities predicted by MOND.

Do Women Value the Domains of Leadership Differently than Men?
Creators: name: Cooner, Tonya

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

description: A comparative study was conducted to determine if women value the various domains of leadership differently than men, and, if they differ, to determine if the differences are consistent across leadership positions. Seventy-two actively employed educators completed a short online leadership survey where they were asked to report their gender and current academic position (teacher leader or administrator). In addition the participants were asked to rate (4-point Likert scale) the importance of the four domains of leadership strength (relationship building, strategic thinking, executing ideas, and influencing others) suggested by Rath and Conchie (2008). A two-way MANOVA was conducted to determine if any significant main or interaction effects could be found for gender and academic position for each of the four self-rated domains of leadership strength. A statistically significant (Î±=.05) difference was only found for gender. A significant main effect for gender was found for both strategic thinking, F (1 ,68) = 4.85, p = .031, Î·2 = .067, and for relationship building, F (1 ,68) = 9.42, p = .003, Î·2 = .122, with men (M = 3.06, SD = 1.14) scoring significantly higher than women (M = 2.31, SD = 1.18) on the strategic thinking domain and women (M = 2.71, SD = 1.3) scoring significantly higher than men (M = 1.65, SD = 1.11) on the relationship building domain. These results suggest that women perceive the relationship building domain of leadership as more important than men. If the findings of Rath and Conchie's study are valid, women could become more effective leaders if they adopt a leadership style they prefer, which the present study suggests may differ from that of men. In addition, the results suggest women may be more effective mentors because of the importance they place on relationship building.. Keywords: gender, leadership domains.

description: We have measured new submillimeter-wave data around 600 GHz and around 1.1 THz for the 13C isotopologue of formic acid and for the two deuterium isotopomers; in each case for both the trans and cis rotamer. For cis-DCOOH and cis-HCOOD in particular only data up to 50 GHz was previously available. For all species the quality and quantity of molecular parameters has been increased providing new measured frequencies and more precise and reliable frequencies in the range of existing and near-future submillimeter and far-infrared astronomical spectroscopy instruments such as Herschel, SOFIA and ALMA.

description: We have observed a new optical transition in the photoreflectance spectra of indirect-gap BiOCl thin films, which were grown on SrTiO$_3$ substrates. The position of this transition is close in energy to its bulk critical point energy. Moreover, these are significantly lower than a higher-lying direct-type critical point from an energetic point of view. The spectral line shape analysis for our observed signal suggests the presence of an excitonic effect of this compound. We determined its dependence of the optical anomaly on temperature ranging from 80 K to room temperature. We adopted the Varshni model for this analysis. At last, we compared phononic properties of BiOCl with those of an element and binary semiconductors.

description: The aim of this article is to show that p-adic geometry of modular curves is useful in the study of p-adic properties of traces of singular moduli. In order to do so, we partly answer a question by Ono. As our goal is just to illustrate how p-adic geometry can be used in this context, we focus on a relatively simple case, in the hope that others will try to obtain the strongest and most general results. For example, for p=2, a result stronger than Thm.1 is proved in [Boylan], and a result on some modular curves of genus zero can be found in [Osburn] . It should be easy to apply our method, because of its local nature, to modular curves of arbitrary level, as well as to Shimura curves.

description: We present a systematic numerical study of $θ$-dependence around $θ=0$ in the small-$N$ limit of $2d$ $CP^{N-1}$ models, aimed at clarifying the possible presence of a divergent topological susceptibility in the continuum limit. We follow a twofold strategy, based on one side on direct simulations for $N = 2$ and $N = 3$ on lattices with correlation lengths up to $O(10^2)$, and on the other side on the small-$N$ extrapolation of results obtained for $N$ up to $9$. Based on that, we provide conclusive evidence for a finite topological susceptibility at $N = 3$, with a continuum estimate $ξ^2 χ= 0.110(5)$. On the other hand, results obtained for $N = 2$ are still inconclusive: they are consistent with a logarithmically divergent continuum extrapolation, but do not yet exclude a finite continuum value, $ξ^2 χ\sim 0.4$, with the divergence taking place for $N$ slightly below 2 in this case. Finally, results obtained for the non-quadratic part of $θ$-dependence, in particular for the so-called $b_2$ coefficient, are consistent with a $θ$-dependence matching that of the Dilute Instanton Gas Approximation at the point where $ξ^2 χ$ diverges.

description: The Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is a decentralized paradigm enabling full control over the data used to build and prove the identity. In Internet of Things networks with security requirements, the Self-Sovereign Identity can play a key role and bring benefits with respect to centralized identity solutions. The challenge is to make the SSI compatible with resource-constraint IoT networks. In line with this objective, the paper proposes and discusses an alternative (mutual) authentication process for IoT nodes under the same administration domain. The main idea is to combine the Decentralized IDentifier (DID)-based verification of private key ownership with the verification of a proof that the DID belongs to an evolving trusted set. The solution is built around the proof of membership notion. The paper analyzes two membership solutions, a novel solution designed by the Authors based on Merkle trees and a second one based on the adaptation of Boneh, Boyen and Shacham (BBS) group signature scheme. The paper concludes with a performance estimation and a comparative analysis.

Analysis and design of deterministic network coding
Creators: name: Fu, Amy
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2014

description: In this thesis, we are concerned with the analysis and design of deterministic network coding schemes in a single hop wireless broadcast network. We analyse the throughput delay performance achieved under existing transmission schemes in the literature, and obtain insights into the characteristics of network coding schemes that allow them to achieve good performance. We use the results of our analysis to design a new transmission scheme that dynamically balances throughput and delay requirements to achieve improved performance, and derive a low feedback adaptation of this scheme, for use in practical applications with limited feedback. We introduce the notion of intermediate packet delivery, where packets may be decoded in the correct order by receivers who have received incomplete information from the sender. We show that assumptions used to determine the capacity bounds in the literature do not always apply under intermediate packet delivery, and it is possible for the rate to exceed the min-cut bound. We will demonstrate how intermediate packet delivery can be used to achieve simultaneous multi-rate delivery under non-uniform receiver channel rates, and transmission optimal asynchronous packet delivery under uniform channel rates. We design a fairness algorithm that allocates the sender's resources so all receivers experience fair delivery rate performance.

Worker Bees and Wild Roses: The Pleasure and Pain of Mid-Career Female Academics
Creators: name: Vongalis-Macrow, Athena
Publisher: name: Advancing Women in Leadership Journal
Year: 2017

description: Drawing on self-identified metaphorical expressions that represent women at work, this paper discusses how a group of mid- career academic women experience their work and workplace. The research was prompted by consistently high number of female academics who remain in the mid-levels in the academic career ladder despite research that shows this group is ambitious and holds leadership aspirations. Understanding the experiences at the mid-career levels, by gaining insights into their workplace experiences, may further our knowledge of how to advance women in leadership. The research draws on the metaphoric descriptions provided by 28 mid-career women working across three Australian universities. Metaphors elicit hidden and implicit values about how the subjects respond and give meaning to their work and working conditions and have been used in organisational practices to disclose underlying issues. The findings discuss the positive and negative work and workplace associations disclosed by the participants. However, the findings suggests that women find pleasure and desire in and through their work. It is through their work that academic women experience self-expression, creativity and adding value. By focussing on the value of doing academic work and the rewards of contributing to academia, there is potential to enhance the capacity for mid-career women to thrive in academia and build the foundations for leadership.

Electromagnetic coupling in chiral and nonlinear metamaterials

description: This thesis is a study of the mechanisms and applications of the near-field interaction in metamaterial systems, investigated using pairs of resonators. Metamaterials are arrays of sub-wavelength resonant elements, and can be engineered to create exotic properties such as artificial magnetism and negative refraction. The response of a bulk metamaterial is strongly dependent on the lattice parameters, and the relative orientation of neighboring resonators has a particularly strong influence, due to the near-field interaction. To start with I study the coupling between two split ring resonators rotated through their common axis, in order to further understand the {near-field interaction}. The interplay between the electric and magnetic interactions in the system is analyzed, along with the resulting crossing of the resonant modes. A Lagrangian model is applied to the twisted rings to determine the mechanisms behind the crossing of the modes, which is dependent on the symmetry and losses in the system. The ability to use the near-field interaction to {control the nonlinear tuning} is then investigated. By introducing nonlinear inclusions in resonant elements, meta-atoms with a dynamic nonlinear response can be created. By modifying the spacing between such resonators, I can control this response via the near-field interaction. The resulting nonlinear response can be explained using the linear properties of the system such as the absorption in the resonators, and the voltage induced across the nonlinear inclusions. The possibility of manipulating {chiral properties} of twisted meta-atoms is also studied, in order to address the issue of resonant optical activity over the transmission band, along with the accompanying ellipticity in the output polarization. In particular, I propose a {u0300}{u0300}mixed pair" - a structure consisting of a meta-atom and its complement. Combining these elements together couples equivalent parallel electric and magnetic dipoles. This structure has a lower order symmetry than a pair of twisted identical resonators. The optical activity in the structure is optimized through manipulating the coupling in the structure. I also develop a method for retrieving the effective parameters, and present the results retrieved from a periodic array. The resulting retrieved parameters are verified by recalculating the scattering parameters theoretically.
Leaning In: A Phenomenological Study of African American Women Leaders in the Pharmaceutical Industry

description: The pharmaceutical industry includes low levels of African American women in leadership positions. In 2010, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity office, African American women comprised only 1.5% of senior executives and 3.4% of first/mid-level managers. This qualitative study describes the leadership behaviors of 8 African American women leaders within the pharmaceutical industry. The approaches used by these women leaders to navigate their environments illustrate that although these women may be limited in number, they are in fact leaning into and embracing their leadership roles; and consequently impacting their organizations and communities. Seven themes are found to categorize the leadership experiences of these women as leaders. They are: 1) making a difference, 2) leveraging information and knowledge, 3) serving as mentors, 4) establishing and maintaining credibility, 5) asking for support, 6) illustrating integrity at the highest levels and 7) facing up to challenges. While the study is limited in its transferability by its qualitative design and number of participants, the findings provide insightful themes regarding the common experiences of these particular African American women leaders in the pharmaceutical industry.
