description: Two different nuclear-medium effects are isolated using a low three-momentum transfer subsample of neutrino-carbon scattering data from the MINERvA neutrino experiment. The observed hadronic energy in charged-current $ν_μ$ interactions is combined with muon kinematics to permit separation of the quasielastic and $Δ$(1232) resonance processes. First, we observe a small cross section at very low energy transfer that matches the expected screening effect of long-range nucleon correlations. Second, additions to the event rate in the kinematic region between the quasielastic and $Δ$ resonance processes are needed to describe the data. The data in this kinematic region also has an enhanced population of multi-proton final states. Contributions predicted for scattering from a nucleon pair have both properties; the model tested in this analysis is a significant improvement but does not fully describe the data. We present the results as a double-differential cross section to enable further investigation of nuclear models. Improved description of the effects of the nuclear environment are required by current and future neutrino oscillation experiments.

description: The newly discovered valley degree of freedom in atomically thin two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) offers a promising platform to explore rich nonlinear physics, such as spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and novel valleytronics applications. However, the critical nonlinear effect, such as valley polariton bosonic stimulation, has long remained an unresolved challenge due to the generation of limited polariton ground state densities necessary to induce the stimulated scattering of polaritons in specific valleys. Here, we report the self-induced valley bosonic stimulation of exciton-polaritons via spin-valley locking in a WS2 monolayer microcavity. This is achieved by the resonant injection of valley polaritons at specific energy and wavevector, which allows spin-polarized polaritons to efficiently populate their ground state and induce a valley-dependent bosonic stimulation. As a result, we observe the nonlinear self-amplification of polariton emission from the valley-dependent ground state. Our finding paves the way for the investigation of spin ordering and phase transitions in TMD polariton BEC, offering a promising route for the realization of polariton spin lattices in moiré polariton systems and spin-lasers.

description: In 1996, Tong, Yang and Ma defined a family of representations of the braid group which have the same dimensions as the (unreduced) Burau representations but are not equivalent. The Burau representation was defined homologically and extended to the string links in several ways. In this paper, using the method of Silver and Williams, we extend the family of the Tong-Yang-Ma representations to the string links and welded string links. Moreover, we show that the kernels of these representations may be described using some linking numbers. Finally, we apply the Long-Moody construction to the Tong-Yang-Ma representations and study its first properties.

description: This research examines the financialisation of art within the tradition of STS-inflected market studies. The concept of financialisation has primarily emerged within political economy to analyse the discrepancy between booming finance and underperforming production. According to this body of literature, financialisation is fundamentally a political process revolving around the regime of accumulation. This presents a new challenge for market studies. In its earliest form, market studies maintained a political agnosticism that centred on calculation and calculative devices; their political implications and accompanying structural transitions have been largely unexplored. This study traces a material political economy of financialisation to construct the agencement of art finance. It examines a case study of ArtTactic, an art market analysis firm that offers regular art market reports, bespoke research for/to art market participants, and art finance education in the forms of lectures and podcasts. The study explores how financial devices are designed, introduced, and enacted in the art market. A specific mode of valuation and accumulation is enacted through the politics of market devices. ArtTactic conducts various performative works to implement these devices within and against the unique institutional structure of the art market. In navigating the multifaceted process of financialisation, I propose that this convergence can be further augmented by Bourdieu’s thinking tools.

description: This monograph, written for educational purposes, serves as an introduction to the concept of integrability as it applies to systems of differential equations (both ordinary and partial) as well as to vector-valued fields. The general cases of integrability examined are: path-independence of line integrals of vector fields on the plane and in space; integration of systems of ordinary differential equations by using first integrals; and integrable systems of partial differential equations. Special topics include the integration of analytic functions on the complex plane and some elements from the geometric theory of differential systems. Certain more advanced subjects, such as Lax pairs and Bäcklund transformations, are also discussed.

Exploring Narrow Phonetic Transcription Training and Protocol
Creators: name: Smith, Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: This preliminary research is meant to open the door to the comparison of training methods for narrow phonetic transcription, particularly evaluating the merits of what we will call "training by experience" and "direct training. The fundamental goals are to expedite and formalize the process of training and to increase intra- and inter-coder reliability. There is very little information in the literature regarding the actual process of training narrow phonetic transcription--the vast majority of references to the data gathering method note its inherent challenges and the ways in which they might be overcome (transcription by consensus is a typical workaround). In addition, various protocols are used, many of which are not published in full. The use of "unidentifiable error" categories is also problematic, as demonstrated by Haley et al. (2001).

description: The influence of environmental variables on the selection of a particular water body as breeding habitat by Alytes dickhilleni was studied in the southeastern and most arid zone of its distribution range. From November 2002 to October 2003, 50 water bodies were monitored in the south east of the Iberian Peninsula. Environmental data were submitted to a stepwise logistic regression analysis at macrohabitat, water body typology and microhabitat scales in order to establish the main factors influencing the use of a given water body as breeding habitat by this species. Statistical analysis showed that the reproduction of Alytes dickhilleni is associated with the macrohabitat variable topography, and the water body typology. This species breeds mainly in permanent water bodies located in mountainous topography in the study area. These results should be taken into account when populations of this species are subjected to management and/or recovery programmes in arid areas.

description: For a single server system, Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) is an optimal size-based policy. In this paper, we discuss scheduling a single-server system when exact information about the jobs' processing times is not available. When the SRPT policy uses estimated processing times, the underestimation of large jobs can significantly degrade performance. We propose a simple heuristic, Size Estimate Hedging (SEH), that only uses estimated processing times for scheduling decisions. A job's priority is increased dynamically according to an SRPT rule until it is determined that it is underestimated, at which time the priority is frozen. Numerical results suggest that SEH has desirable performance for estimation error variance that is consistent with what is seen in practice.

Breeding phenology of Bufo viridis Laurenti, 1768 in Sicily
Creators: name: Sicilia, Alessandra

Publisher: name: Acta Herpetologica
Year: 2007

description: Bufo viridis Laurenti, 1768 is a common species that inhabits a wide variety of habitats. The different climates characterising its broad range lead to a high degree of variability in its seasonal activity and reproductive cycle. This paper reports some observations carried out on the breeding phenology of this species over a two year period in Mediterranean temporary ponds in Sicily. The reproductive period of Sicilian green toads extends into the autumn months, making it longer than that of other Italian populations. This behaviour seems due to the impact of xeric environmental conditions on the seasonal activity of the studied populations. The present study confirms that B. viridis is an opportunistic breeder with a wide margin of variability in annual reproductive cycle patterns, as would be expected of an ecologically variable species. The duration of the reproductive season varied between populations in the same year and between different years for the same population.

description: We propose the intensity mapping of the redshifted HI 21-cm signal from the post-reionization epoch as a cosmological probe of $f(R)$ gravity. We consider the Hu-Sawicki class of $f(R)$ gravity models characterized by a single parameter $f_{,R0}$. The $f(R)$ modification to gravity affects the post-reionization $21$-cm power spectrum through the change in the growth rate of density fluctuations. We find that a radio interferometric observation with a SKA1-Mid like radio telescope in both auto-correlation and cross-correlation with galaxy weak-lensing and Ly-$α$ forest may distinguish $f(R)$ models from $LCDM$ cosmology at a precision which is competitive with other probes of $f(R)$ gravity.

description: The idea of nanomagnetic Boolean logic was advanced more than two decades ago. It envisaged the use of nanomagnets with two stable magnetization orientations as the primitive binary switch for implementing logic gates and ultimately combinational/sequential circuits. Enthusiastic proclamations of how nanomagnetic logic will eclipse traditional (transistor-based) logic circuits proliferated the applied physics literature. Two decades later there is not a single viable nanomagnetic logic chip in sight, let alone one that is a commercial success. In this perspective article, I offer my reasons on why this has come to pass. I present a realistic and tempered vision of nanomagnetic logic, pointing out many misconceptions about this paradigm, flaws in some proposals that appeared in the literature, shortcomings, and likely pitfalls that might stymie progress in this field.

Comparative ecophysiology of two sympatric lizards. Laying the groundwork for mechanistic distribution models
Creators: name: García-Muñoz, Enrique
name: Carretero, Miguel Angel
Publisher: name: Acta Herpetologica
Year: 2013

description: Distribution modelling usually makes inferences correlating species presence and environmental variables but does not take biotic relations into account. Alternative approaches based on a mechanistic understanding of biological processes are now being applied. Regarding lacertid lizards, physiological traits such as preferred body temperature (Tp) are well known to correlate with several physiological optima. Much less is known about their water ecology although body temperature and evaporative water loss (Wl) may trade-off. Two saxicolous lacertids, Algyroides marchi and Podarcis hispanica ss are sympatric in the Subbetic Mountains (SE Spain) were they can be found in syntopy. Previous distribution modelling indicates the first species is associated with mountains, low temperatures; high precipitation and forest cover whereas the second one is more generalistic. Here, we perform two ecophysiological tests with both species: a Tp experiment in thermal gradient and a Wl experiment in sealed chambers. Although both species attained similar body temperatures, A. marchi lost more water and more uniformly in time than P. hispanica ss that displayed an apparent response to dehydration. These results suggest that water loss rather temperature is crucial to explain the distribution patterns of A. marchi in relation to P. hispanica ss, the former risking dehydration in dry areas no matter what temperature is. Ecophysiological traits represent a promising tool to build future mechanistic models for (lacertid) lizards. Additionally, the implications for their biogeography and conservation are discussed.

description: We calculate the Kaluza-Klein spectrum of spin-2 fluctuations around the ${\cal N}=3$ warped ${\rm AdS}_4\times M_6$ solution in massive IIA supergravity. This solution was conjectured to be dual to the $D=3$ ${\cal N}=3$ superconformal ${\rm SU}(N)$ Chern-Simons matter theory with level $k$ and 2 adjoint chiral multiplets. The ${\rm SO}(3)_R\times{\rm SO}(3)_D$ isometry of the ${\cal N}=3$ solution is identified with the ${\rm SU}(2)_F\times {\rm SU}(2)_{\cal R}$ global symmetry of the dual ${\cal N}=3$ SCFT. We show that the ${\rm SO}(3)_R\times{\rm SO}(3)_D$ quantum numbers and the ${\rm AdS}$ energies carried by the BPS spin-2 modes match precisely with those of the spin-2 gauge invariant operators in the short multiplets of operators in the ${\cal N}=3$ SCFT. We also compute the Euclidean action of the ${\cal N}=3$ solution and the free energy of the ${\cal N}=3$ SCFT on $S^3$, in the limit $N\gg k$. Remarkably, the results show a complete agreement.

description: Quantum teleportation provides a way to transfer unknown quantum states from one system to another via an entangled state as a quantum channel without physical transmission of the object itself. The entangled channel, measurement performed by the sender (Alice), and classical information sent to the receiver (Bob) are three key ingredients in the procedure, which need to cooperate with each other. To study the relationship among the three parts, we propose a scheme for perfect teleportation of a qubit through a high-dimensional quantum channel in a pure state with two equal largest Schmidt coefficients. The scheme requires less entanglement of Alice's measurement but more classical bits than the original scheme via a Bell state. The two quantities increase with the entanglement of the quantum channel when its dimension is fixed and thereby can be regard as Alice's necessary capabilities to use the quantum channel. And the two capabilities appear complementary to each other.

description: Temporal and spectral behaviors of plasmons determine their ability to enhance the characteristics of metamaterials tailored to a wide range of applications, including electric-field enhancement, hot-electron injection, sensing, as well as polarization and angular momentum manipulation. We report a dark-field (DF) polarimetry experiment on single particles with incident circularly polarized light in which gold nanoparticles scatter with opposite handedness at visible wavelengths. Remarkably, for silvered nanoporous silica microparticles, the handedness conversion occurs at longer visible wavelengths, only after adsorption of molecules on the silver. Finite element analysis (FEA) allows matching the circular polarization (CP) conversion to dominant quadrupolar contributions, determined by the specimen size and complex susceptibility. We hypothesize that the damping accompanying the adsorption of molecules on the nanostructured silver facilitates the CP conversion. These results offer new perspectives in molecule sensing and materials tunability for light polarization conversion and control of light spin angular momentum at submicroscopic scale.

description: Importance Sampling methods are broadly used to approximate posterior distributions or some of their moments. In its standard approach, samples are drawn from a single proposal distribution and weighted properly. However, since the performance depends on the mismatch between the targeted and the proposal distributions, several proposal densities are often employed for the generation of samples. Under this Multiple Importance Sampling (MIS) scenario, many works have addressed the selection or adaptation of the proposal distributions, interpreting the sampling and the weighting steps in different ways. In this paper, we establish a general framework for sampling and weighing procedures when more than one proposal are available. The most relevant MIS schemes in the literature are encompassed within the new framework, and, moreover novel valid schemes appear naturally. All the MIS schemes are compared and ranked in terms of the variance of the associated estimators. Finally, we provide illustrative examples which reveal that, even with a good choice of the proposal densities, a careful interpretation of the sampling and weighting procedures can make a significant difference in the performance of the method.

description: DNA toroidal bundles form upon condensation of one or multiple DNA filaments. DNA filaments in toroidal bundles are hexagonally packed, and collectively twist around the center line of the toroid. In a previous study, we and our coworkers argue that the filaments' curvature locally correlates with their density in the bundle, with the filaments less closely packed where their curvature appears to be higher. We base our claim on the assumption that twist has a negligible effect on the local curvature of filaments in DNA toroids. However, this remains to be proven. We fill this gap here, by calculating the distribution of filaments' curvature in a geometric model of twisted toroidal bundle, which we use to describe DNA toroids by an appropriate choice of parameters. This allows us to substantiate our previous study and suggest directions for future experiments.

description: Scenario generation is the construction of a discrete random vector to represent parameters of uncertain values in a stochastic program. Most approaches to scenario generation are distribution-driven, that is, they attempt to construct a random vector which captures well in a probabilistic sense the uncertainty. On the other hand, a problem-driven approach may be able to exploit the structure of a problem to provide a more concise representation of the uncertainty. In this paper we propose an analytic approach to problem-driven scenario generation. This approach applies to stochastic programs where a tail risk measure, such as conditional value-at-risk, is applied to a loss function. Since tail risk measures only depend on the upper tail of a distribution, standard methods of scenario generation, which typically spread their scenarios evenly across the support of the random vector, struggle to adequately represent tail risk. Our scenario generation approach works by targeting the construction of scenarios in areas of the distribution corresponding to the tails of the loss distributions. We provide conditions under which our approach is consistent with sampling, and as proof-of-concept demonstrate how our approach could be applied to two classes of problem, namely network design and portfolio selection. Numerical tests on the portfolio selection problem demonstrate that our approach yields better and more stable solutions compared to standard Monte Carlo sampling.

description: Purpose: In the Patient Centered Medical Home Model, pharmacists have been shown to improve patient outcomes in a variety of clinical aspects, including medication therapy management, diabetes and COPD/asthma control, and diet and exercise consultations, to name a few. The patient perception of these pharmacist services is currently unknown. This project was designed to ascertain the patient perceived benefits of a pharmacist consultation in a primary care setting. Methods: This Institutional Review Board approved project consists of administering a survey after a pharmacist encounter. Pharmacists saw patients in three primary care settings following the patient's primary care provider appointment. Afterwards, the principal investigator interviewed the patient with a 12 question survey questionnaire. Sample questions are: Did the pharmacist answer all your questions? Do you understand your medications better than you did before the consultation? How comfortable did you feel with the pharmacist: very comfortable, somewhat comfortable, not very comfortable, or not at all comfortable? Results: All 16 patients reported they had all their questions answered and that the pharmacist used language that was easy to relate to and understand in regards to their disease state. The majority of patients (77%) understood their medications better than they did before the consultation; in addition, 93% understood their treatment goals better than they did before the consultation. Conclusion: Responses indicated the majority of patients benefited from the knowledge of the pharmacist that they may not have gotten in another setting and that the one-on-one time enhanced the understanding of medications and disease states

description: Allochthonous water frogs (gen. Pelophylax) have been repeatedly introduced in several European countries, causing dramatic consequences for the conservation of indigenous taxa. In Italy, invasive populations are known for northern regions, where they were introduced mainly for edible and scientific purposes. Here, we report the first detection of an alien population of water frogs in Central Italy, along the Resina valley (Umbria). Genetic analysis of the mitochondrial ND3 gene polymorphism assigned some specimens to two different Pelophylax ridibundus clades widespread in Central and Eastern Europe. By contrast, two samples matched the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of Pelophylax lessonae bergeri, an autochthonous taxon widespread in Central Italy, suggesting possible hybridization between alien and indigenous frogs. Finally, the specific haplotype of Pelophylax shqipericus, the Albanian Pool Frog, was also identified according to mtDNA polymorphism. This record, firstly reported for Italy, poses concerns for the conservation of this cryptic taxon, suggesting that international water frog trade may involve also particularly endangered species.

description: Tie-breaker experimental designs are hybrids of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and Regression Discontinuity Designs (RDDs) in which subjects with moderate scores are placed in an RCT while subjects with extreme scores are deterministically assigned to the treatment or control group. In settings where it is unfair or uneconomical to deny the treatment to the more deserving recipients, the tie-breaker design (TBD) trades off the practical advantages of the RDD with the statistical advantages of the RCT. The practical costs of the randomization in TBDs can be hard to quantify in generality, while the statistical benefits conferred by randomization in TBDs have only been studied under linear and quadratic models. In this paper, we discuss and quantify the statistical benefits of TBDs without using parametric modelling assumptions. If the goal is estimation of the average treatment effect or the treatment effect at more than one score value, the statistical benefits of using a TBD over an RDD are apparent. If the goal is nonparametric estimation of the mean treatment effect at merely one score value, we prove that about 2.8 times more subjects are needed for an RDD in order to achieve the same asymptotic mean squared error. We further demonstrate using both theoretical results and simulations from the Angrist and Lavy (1999) classroom size dataset, that larger experimental radii choices for the TBD lead to greater statistical efficiency.

description: The geometric intersection number of a curve on a surface is the minimal number of self-intersections of any homotopic curve, i.e. of any curve obtained by continuous deformation. Given a curve $c$ represented by a closed walk of length at most $\ell$ on a combinatorial surface of complexity $n$ we describe simple algorithms to (1) compute the geometric intersection number of $c$ in $O(n+ \ell^2)$ time, (2) construct a curve homotopic to $c$ that realizes this geometric intersection number in $O(n+\ell^4)$ time, (3) decide if the geometric intersection number of $c$ is zero, i.e. if $c$ is homotopic to a simple curve, in $O(n+\ell\log\ell)$ time. The algorithms for (2) and (3) are restricted to orientable surfaces, but the algorithm for (1) is also valid on non-orientable surfaces. To our knowledge, no exact complexity analysis had yet appeared on those problems. An optimistic analysis of the complexity of the published algorithms for problems (1) and (3) gives at best a $O(n+g^2\ell^2)$ time complexity on a genus $g$ surface without boundary. No polynomial time algorithm was known for problem (2) for surfaces without boundary. Interestingly, our solution to problem (3) provides a quasi-linear algorithm to a problem raised by Poincaré more than a century ago. Finally, we note that our algorithm for problem (1) extends to computing the geometric intersection number of two curves of length at most $\ell$ in $O(n+ \ell^2)$ time.

description: We examined the food composition of the museum specimens of Chalcides ocellatus (Forskal, 1775) collected from Morphou (= Güzelyurt) and Gönyeli (Nicosia District, Northern Cyprus). The stomach contents of 41 (23 males, 11 females, and 7 juveniles) individuals were analyzed, and totally 86 prey items were detected. The species was found to feed mainly on a variety of insects (94.3%) and particularly on coleopterans (62.1%). No statistically significant sex- or age-dependent difference was observed in the feeding regime. In conclusion, the diet of C.ocellatus was based mainly on insects and other arthropods.

description: It was analyzed the effectiveness of one method of individual and unique marking, alternative to the application of microchip, on 17 specimens of Testudo hermanni through DataDotDNA technology. This technology has proven to be an effective system of marking of Testudo spp., answering the need for unambiguous identification of individuals. Further advantages are the easy application and reading, the long-term resistance as well as the difficulties of possible fraudulent tampering.

description: In this paper, we consider enumeration problems for edge-distinct and vertex-distinct Eulerian trails. Here, two Eulerian trails are \emph{edge-distinct} if the edge sequences are not identical, and they are \emph{vertex-distinct} if the vertex sequences are not identical. As the main result, we propose optimal enumeration algorithms for both problems, that is, these algorithm runs in $\mathcal{O}(N)$ total time, where $N$ is the number of solutions. Our algorithms are based on the reverse search technique introduced by [Avis and Fukuda, DAM 1996], and the push out amortization technique introduced by [Uno, WADS 2015].

description: A series invariant of a complement of a knot was introduced recently. The invariant for several prime knots up to ten crossings have been explicitly computed. We present the first example of a satellite knot, namely, a cable of the figure eight knot, which has more than ten crossings. This cable knot result provides nontrivial evidence for the conjectures for the series invariant and demonstrates the robustness of integrality of the quantum invariant under the cabling operation. Furthermore, we observe a relation between the series invariant of the cable knot and the series invariant of the figure eight knot. This relation provides an alternative simple method for finding the former series invariant.

description: By adapting the Cheeger-Simons approach to differential cohomology, we establish a notion of differential cohomology with compact support. We show that it is functorial with respect to open embeddings and that it fits into a natural diagram of exact sequences which compare it to compactly supported singular cohomology and differential forms with compact support, in full analogy to ordinary differential cohomology. We prove an excision theorem for differential cohomology using a suitable relative version. Furthermore, we use our model to give an independent proof of Pontryagin duality for differential cohomology recovering a result of [Harvey, Lawson, Zweck - Amer. J. Math. 125 (2003) 791]: On any oriented manifold, ordinary differential cohomology is isomorphic to the smooth Pontryagin dual of compactly supported differential cohomology. For manifolds of finite-type, a similar result is obtained interchanging ordinary with compactly supported differential cohomology.

description: Objective: To orient a large number of people to the new PubMed format, the Health Sciences Library needed creative approaches to traditional classroom instruction. The Library’s new approach was the use of offering three simultaneous class formats to help on and off campus users navigate the PubMed changes. Methods: The Health Sciences Library serves users from the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Public Health, other university programs, and the general public. The increasing number of distance students as well as the growing preference for online formats prompted the Library to try offering multiple instructional formats. Classes were offered in three formats: dedicated online sessions in Adobe Connect, traditional in-person classes in the Library, and live streaming versions during the classes held in the Library. A post-class survey was used to determine the users’ evaluations of the instruction and the format via which it was offered, and registration statistics were gathered for class preference. This poster will examine the user response and satisfaction.
