description: Web users are shown an invalid certificate warning
when their browser cannot validate the identity of
the websites they are visiting. While these warnings
often appear in benign situations, they can also
signal a man-in-the-middle attack. We conducted a
survey of over 400 Internet users to examine their
reactions to and understanding of current SSL warnings.
We then designed two new warnings using warnings
science principles and lessons learned from the
survey. We evaluated warnings used in three popular
web browsers and our two warnings in a 100-
participant, between-subjects laboratory study. Our
warnings performed significantly better than existing
warnings, but far too many participants exhibited
dangerous behavior in all warning conditions. Our results
suggest that, while warnings can be improved,
a better approach may be to minimize the use of SSL
warnings altogether by blocking users from making
unsafe connections and eliminating warnings in benign
situations.

description: Dried (nonactivated) and water-soaked (activated) pecan shells were pyrolyzed at 450°C for 1 h. The pecan shells were heated in a reduced oxygen environment and cooled under positive pressure of nitrogen. Batch sorption experiments were done to evaluate the biochar’s ability to adsorb lead from aqueous solution. Several characterization analyses were performed including FT-IR, elemental analysis, SEM, EDX, and BET. Nonactivated pecan shell biochar (NPSB) has an adsorption capacity of 36.5 mg/g and the water-activated pecan shell biochar (WPSB) adsorbs 61% more lead with a capacity of 58.6 mg/g. The yield of the WPSB is marginally higher than NPSB (34.8% and 33.7%, respectively); however, there are significant differences in the surface morphology. NPSB has a total surface area of 25.48 m2/g. Of this, 29.74% is micropore volume. After water activation, WPSB’s total surface area increases to 41.51 m2/g and the micropore volume was significantly reduced.

description: Research articles are being shared in increasing numbers on multiple online platforms. Although the scholarly impact of these articles has been widely studied, the online interest determined by how long the research articles are shared online remains unclear. Being cognizant of how long a research article is mentioned online could be valuable information to the researchers. In this paper, we analyzed multiple social media platforms on which users share and/or discuss scholarly articles. We built three clusters for papers, based on the number of yearly online mentions having publication dates ranging from the year 1920 to 2016. Using the online social media metrics for each of these three clusters, we built machine learning models to predict the long-term online interest in research articles. We addressed the prediction task with two different approaches: regression and classification. For the regression approach, the Multi-Layer Perceptron model performed best, and for the classification approach, the tree-based models performed better than other models. We found that old articles are most evident in the contexts of economics and industry (i.e., patents). In contrast, recently published articles are most evident in research platforms (i.e., Mendeley) followed by social media platforms (i.e., Twitter).

description: This position paper describes the challenge of ensuring run-time safety in cyber-physical systems. The overarching problem is ensuring that computer-based systems will maintain safe operations even in the face of design-time and run-time faults. One way to address this problem is by creating an ability to perform run-time safety checks on CPS applications that can be used to record hazards, trigger emergency shutdowns (where doing so is safe), or perform other actions to minimize the consequences of an unsafe system behavior. Existing foundations for creating such a capability exist in the areas of software safety, temporal logic, model based diagnosis, and fault tolerance.

description: We discuss production of four jets $pp \rightarrow j j j j X$ with at least two jets with large rapidity separation in proton-proton collisions at the LHC through the mechanism of double-parton scattering (DPS). The cross section is calculated in a factorizaed approximation. Each hard subprocess is calculated in LO collinear approximation. The LO pQCD calculations are shown to give a reasonably good descritption of CMS and ATLAS data on inclusive jet production. It is shown that relative contribution of DPS is growing with increasing rapidity distance between the most remote jets, center-of-mass energy and with decreasing (mini)jet transverse momenta. We show also result for angular azimuthal dijet correlations calculated in the framework of $k_t$-factorization approaximation.

description: Mesoscale patterns as observed, e.g., in ferromagnets, ferroelectrics, superconductors, mono-molecular films, or block-copolymers, reflect spatial variations of a pertinent order parameter at length- and time-scales that may be described classically. This raises the question for the relevance of mesoscale patterns near zero temperature phase transitions, also known as quantum phase transitions (QPTs). Here we report the magnetic susceptibility of LiHoF$_4$ -- a dipolar Ising ferromagnet -- near a well-understood transverse-field quantum critical point (TF-QCP). When tilting the magnetic field away from the hard axis such that the Ising symmetry is always broken, a line of well-defined phase transitions emerges from the TF-QCP characteristic of an additional symmetry breaking, in stark contrast to a crossover expected microscopically. We show that a continuous suppression of ferromagnetic domains, representing a breaking of translation symmetry on mesoscopic scales in an environment of broken magnetic Ising symmetry on microscopic scales, is in excellent qualitative and quantitative agreement with the field- and temperature dependence of the susceptibility and the magnetic phase diagram of LiHoF$_4$ under tilted field. This identifies a new type of phase transition that may be referred to as mesocale quantum criticality, which emanates from the text-book example of a microscopic ferromagnetic TF-QCP. Our results establish the surroundings of QPTs as a regime of mesoscale pattern formation, where non-analytical quantum dynamics and materials properties without classical analogue may be expected.

description: In this work, cobalt-aluminum-layered double hydroxide (CoAl) and its bentonite composite (Bent-CoAl) were utilized for adsorption of Cr(VI) from water. Incorporation of bentonite into layers of CoAl resulted in significant improvement in the adsorptive performance with increased BET surface area, without damaging LDH structure. The adsorption process was described by Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The mechanism of Cr(VI) sorption mainly involved electrostatic and chemical interactions with maximum Cr(VI) sorption value of 211.86 mg/g. This suggests that synergistic effect of bentonite into CoAl provided a superior adsorbent for decontamination of heavy metals.

description: Two-particle correlations are presented for K$^0_\mathrm{S}$, $\Lambda$, and $\overline\Lambda$ strange hadrons as a function of relative momentum in lead-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 0.607 nb$^{-1}$ and was collected using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. These correlations are sensitive to quantum statistics and to final-state interactions between the particles. The source size extracted from the K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$ correlations is found to decrease from 4 to 1 fm in going from central to peripheral collisions. Strong interaction scattering parameters (i.e., scattering length and effective range) are determined from the $\Lambda$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$ and $\Lambda\Lambda$ (including their charge conjugates) correlations using the Lednick$\'y$-Lyuboshitz model and are compared to theoretical and other experimental results.

description: When creating mission-critical distributed systems using off-the-shelf components, it is important to assess the dependability of not only the hardware, but the software as well. This paper proposes a way to test operating system dependability. The concept of response regions is presented as a way to visualize erroneous system behavior and gain insight into failure mechanisms. A5-point “CRASH” scale is defined for grading the severity of robustness vulnerabilities encountered. Test results from five operating systems are analyzed for robustness vulnerabilities, and exhibit a range of dependability. Robustness benchmarking comparisons of this type may provide important information to both users and designers of off-the-shelf software for dependable systems.

description: In this article, we tentatively assign the $Y(4140)$, $Y(4274)$ and $X(4350)$ to be the scalar and tensor $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark states, respectively, and study them with the QCD sum rules. In the operator product expansion, we take into account the vacuum condensates up to dimension-10. In calculations, we use the formula $μ=\sqrt{M^2_{X/Y/Z}-(2{\mathbb{M}}_c)^2}$ to determine the energy scales of the QCD spectral densities. The numerical results favor assigning the $Y(4140)$ to be the $J^{PC}=2^{++}$ diquark-antidiquark type tetraquark state, and disfavor assigning the $Y(4274)$ and $X(4350)$ to be the $0^{++}$ or $2^{++}$ tetraquark states.

description: For the first time at LHC energies, the forward rapidity gap spectra from proton-lead collisions for both proton and lead dissociation processes are presented. The analysis is performed over 10.4 units of pseudorapidity at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}$ = 8.16 TeV, almost 300 times higher than in previous measurements of diffractive production in proton-nucleus collisions. For lead dissociation processes, which correspond to the pomeron-lead event topology, the EPOS-LHC generator predictions are a factor of two below the data, but the model gives a reasonable description of the rapidity gap spectrum shape. For the pomeron-proton topology, the EPOS-LHC, QGSJET II, and HIJING predictions are all at least a factor of five lower than the data. The latter effect might be explained by a significant contribution of ultra-peripheral photoproduction events mimicking the signature of diffractive processes. These data may be of significant help in understanding the high energy limit of quantum chromodynamics and for modeling cosmic ray air showers.

description: Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) enables parameter inference for complex physical systems in cases where the true likelihood function is unknown, unavailable, or computationally too expensive. It relies on the forward simulation of mock data and comparison between observed and synthetic catalogues. Here we present cosmoabc, a Python ABC sampler featuring a Population Monte Carlo (PMC) variation of the original ABC algorithm, which uses an adaptive importance sampling scheme. The code is very flexible and can be easily coupled to an external simulator, while allowing to incorporate arbitrary distance and prior functions. As an example of practical application, we coupled cosmoabc with the numcosmo library and demonstrate how it can be used to estimate posterior probability distributions over cosmological parameters based on measurements of galaxy clusters number counts without computing the likelihood function. cosmoabc is published under the GPLv3 license on PyPI and GitHub and documentation is available at http://goo.gl/SmB8EX

BEST POSSIBLE SELF IN REAL-WORLD CLASS SETTINGS: WHAT WORKS OR NOT AND IMPLICATIONS
Creators: name: Duan, Suzhen
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: Curriculum and pedagogy not elsewhere classified

description: Best possible self (BPS) is one of the most widely used positive psychology interventions shown in the laboratory to effectively improve participants’ overall well-being in both the short- and long-term. However, limited research has been conducted in real-world contexts. This dissertation aims to explore the practical application of BPS integrated into the instructional design for reflective activities in real-world class settings. Three papers were included in this dissertation conducted in both undergraduate (preservice teachers) and graduate (novice instructional designers) classes: the first paper examined BPS’s effects in promoting preservice teachers’ overall well-being through a quantitative method; the second paper measured BPS’s effects in improving preservice teachers’ attitudes towards technology integration through a quantitative approach; the third paper explored novice instructional designers’ attitudes towards BPS and the relationships with their well-being (gains) and personality through mixed methods. The first paper (chapter 2) examined BPS’s long-term effects in improving participants’ overall well-being compared with the control group through a quasi-experimental design. Results from a 2 × 3 mixed ANOVA indicate that BPS did not significantly improve the participants’ well-being over time compared with the control group. In fact, the control group performed better than treatment one month after the intervention. This result aligns with findings of well-being during COVID-19. The second paper (chapter 3) measured BPS’s effect in improving preservice teachers’ attitudes towards technology integration. Even though the results show that BPS did not improve participants’ attitudes towards technology integration statistically significantly compared with the control group (possibly because of impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic), the results are promising because: first, inside the treatment group, the result shows BPS improved participants’ attitudes significantly; second, under the pandemic, literature reported that BPS was not as effective as in normal situations; however, the activities in the control group might be more effective under the pandemic. The third paper (chapter 4) explored novice instructional designers’ attitudes towards BPS and the relationship between attitudes, well-being, and personality. Pearson correlation results show significant correlations among attitudes, subjective well-being (gains), and openness to experience. In addition, the results from open-ended questions confirmed participants’ positive attitudes towards the BPS. Taken together, the findings from three papers contribute to the practical application of BPS in real-world class settings, especially under the unique pandemic situation. More studies are needed to explore the application of positive psychology interventions in instructional design in real-world settings.

O Brasil é, historicamente, um país de pecuária leiteira. Há mais de 500 anos já se produzia leite e, nos últimos 100 anos (mais especificamente, nos últimos 30 anos), desenvolveu-se um caráter mais comercial e competitivo, deixando o papel de subsistente. A importância do setor de lácteos para o Brasil é um fato que tem sido enfatizado por vários fatores, tais como: é um alimento que se destaca como melhor fonte de cálcio para crianças maiores de um ano, adolescentes e idosos (GUIA ALIMENTAR, 2005); alto potencial de geração de empregos do setor (FERREIRA, 2000), alto potencial produtivo e capacidade de aumento de consumo com o aumento da renda (BRASIL, 2002) e o único presente em 1,35 milhões de propriedades no país (IBGE, 2011).

Implicit sequence learning in aging: the effect of accuracy, timing, and test structure
Creators: name: Foster, Chris M.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: Implicit sequence learning is thought to be preserved in aging when the to-be learned associations are first-order; however, when associations are second-order, older adults (OAs) have been shown to experience deficits as compared to young adults (YAs). Two experiments were conducted using a first (Experiment 1) and second-order (Experiment 2) serial-reaction time task. A between subject's manipulation was utilized in both experiments. Stimuli were presented at a constant rate of either 800 milliseconds (fast) or 1200 milliseconds (slow). Results indicate that both age groups learned first-order dependencies equally in both conditions. OAs and YAs also learned second-order dependencies, but learning only occurred for OAs in the slow condition, and for YAs in the fast condition. The sensitivity of implicit sequence learning to the flow of information, and not age, supports the idea that implicit learning is preserved across the lifespan.

description: A search for the pair production of the lightest supersymmetric partner of the top quark, the top squark ($\tilde{\mathrm{t}}_1$), is presented. The search targets the four-body decay of the $\tilde{\mathrm{t}}_1$, which is preferred when the mass difference between the top squark and the lightest supersymmetric particle is smaller than the mass of the W boson. This decay mode consists of a bottom quark, two other fermions, and the lightest neutralino ($\tilde{\chi}^0_1$), which is assumed to be the lightest supersymmetric particle. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. Events are selected using the presence of a high-momentum jet, an electron or muon with low transverse momentum, and a significant missing transverse momentum. The signal is selected based on a multivariate approach that is optimized for the difference between $m(\tilde{\mathrm{t}}_1)$ and $m(\tilde{\chi}^0_1)$. The contribution from leading background processes is estimated from data. No significant excess is observed above the expectation from standard model processes. The results of this search exclude top squarks at 95% confidence level for masses up to 480 and 700 GeV for $m(\tilde{\mathrm{t}}_1) - m(\tilde{\chi}^0_1$) = 10 and 80 GeV, respectively.
An exact solution method for binary equilibrium problems with compensation and the power market uplift problem

description: We propose a novel method to find Nash equilibria in games with binary decision variables by including compensation payments and incentive-compatibility constraints from non-cooperative game theory directly into an optimization framework in lieu of using first order conditions of a linearization, or relaxation of integrality conditions. The reformulation offers a new approach to obtain and interpret dual variables to binary constraints using the benefit or loss from deviation rather than marginal relaxations. The method endogenizes the trade-off between overall (societal) efficiency and compensation payments necessary to align incentives of individual players. We provide existence results and conditions under which this problem can be solved as a mixed-binary linear program. We apply the solution approach to a stylized nodal power-market equilibrium problem with binary on-off decisions. This illustrative example shows that our approach yields an exact solution to the binary Nash game with compensation. We compare different implementations of actual market rules within our model, in particular constraints ensuring non-negative profits (no-loss rule) and restrictions on the compensation payments to non-dispatched generators. We discuss the resulting equilibria in terms of overall welfare, efficiency, and allocational equity.

description: We propose the grand challenge problem of dependability benchmarking and prediction for real-time mission-critical systems (RTMCSs).  Evaluating dependability would quantify the degree of reliance that could justifiably be placed on a critical system, even in the face of partial failures or exceptional conditions.  A comprehensive result would require an inter-disciplinary approach embracing the entire product lifecycle.  While there are significant technical hurdles to both assessing the dependability of individual elements and combining resultant measures, a viable approach must be found to ensure that the computing systems our society is coming to depend upon will be reliable, available, safe, and secure. The participation of several communities, including the Real Time Computing community, is vital to success fully address this challenge.

description: Efficient radiation at second and/or higher harmonics of Wce has been suggested to circumvent the escaping difficulty of the electron cyclotron maser emission mechanism when it is applied to solar radio bursts, such as spikes. In our earlier study, we developed a three-step numerical scheme to connect the dynamics of energetic electrons within a large-scale coronal loop structure with the microscale kinetic instability energized by the obtained nonthermal velocity distribution and found that direct and efficient harmonic X-mode (X2 for short) emission can be achieved due to the strip-like features of the distribution. That study only considered the radiation from the loop top at a specific time. Here we present the emission properties along the loop at different locations and timings. We found that, in accordance with our earlier results, few to several strip-like features can appear in all cases, and the first two strips play the major role in exciting X2 and Z (i.e., the slow extraordinary mode) that propagate quasi-perpendicularly. For the four sections along the loop, significant excitation of X2 is observed from the upper two sections, and the strongest emission is from the top section. In addition, significant excitation of Z is observed for all loop sections, while there is no significant emission of the fundamental X mode. The study provides new insight into coherent maser emission along the coronal loop structure during solar flares.

description: We study the acceleration, transport, and emission of particles in relativistic jets. Localized stochastic particle acceleration, spatial diffusion, and synchrotron as well as synchrotron self-Compton emission are considered in a leptonic model. To account for inhomogeneity, we use a 2D axi-symmetric cylindrical geometry for both relativistic electrons and magnetic field. In this first phase of our work, we focus on steady-state spectra that develop from a time-dependent model. We demonstrate that small isolated acceleration region in a much larger emission volume are sufficient to accelerate particles to high energy. Diffusive escape from these small regions provides a natural explanation for the spectral form of the jet emission. The location of the acceleration regions within the jet is found to affect the cooling break of the spectrum in this diffusive model. Diffusion-caused energy-dependent inhomogeneity in the jets predicts that the SSC spectrum is harder than the synchrotron spectrum. There can also be a spectral hardening towards the high-energy section of the synchrotron spectrum, if particle escape is relatively slow. These two spectral hardening effects indicate that the jet inhomogeneity might be a natural explanation for the unexpected hard γ-ray spectra observed in some blazars.

description: L’amour permettrait de diminuer le stress, d’améliorer la qualité du sommeil, de réguler le microbiome et le système nerveux… Si aujourd’hui, certains lui prêtent toutes les vertus, l’amour n’eut pas toujours si bonne réputation. Au Moyen Âge, on le voyait même tout simplement comme une maladie.Au Moyen Âge, on définissait l’amour de différentes manières. D’un point de vue religieux, dans les textes bibliques et la littérature édifiante, il était synonyme de voluntas, c’est-à-dire de dévouement à l’autre.Mais l’amour était aussi synonyme de passion ou d’eros, conséquence de l’idéalisation de la personne aimée.

Essays on Social Media Centric Consumption: Quantifying Current and Future Outcomes
Creators: name: Webster, Emily
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description:
Consumers often engage in consumption activities for creating social media contentthis behavior is known as social media centric consumption (SMCC). This dissertation explores this prevalent consumer behavior across cultures, particularly when it becomes an external objective and becomes disruptive for consumers. Understanding how consumers' SMCC objectives affect consumer evaluations in the short and long term is essential. The first essay examines the utility people derive from their experiences as a function of their SMCC motivations. Findings from four surveys and two laboratory studies show that SMCC (i.e., consuming products and experiences with the primary motivation to post on social media) decreases consumers' evaluations. This counterintuitive effect on consumer evaluations occurs for purchases that introduce an external motivator, such as an emphasis on creating social media content. In other words, SMCC, an extrinsic social motivator, can reduce a consumers subsequent repurchase intentions and lead to negative brand and consumer consequences. In the second essay, cultural differences are addressed. Globally, social media is integrated into the consumer decision-making process, however, no research has explored the social media centric consumption phenomena empirically or across cultures.

description: Software’s increasingly critical role and the rapid rate of change of associated technologies present serious challenges for maintaining the professional skills of software developers. Current professionals must rely on existing opportunities for mid-career education. Longer-term solutions include improvements in existing opportunities and changes to university education that enhance students’ ability to learn new material. A variety of certifications will provide evidence of a professional’s current proficiency. I will report on the way these issues are being addressed in the United States.

description: Additive regression trees are flexible non-parametric models and popular off-the-shelf tools for real-world non-linear regression. In application domains, such as bioinformatics, where there is also demand for probabilistic predictions with measures of uncertainty, the Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) model, introduced by Chipman et al. (2010), is increasingly popular. As data sets have grown in size, however, the standard Metropolis-Hastings algorithms used to perform inference in BART are proving inadequate. In particular, these Markov chains make local changes to the trees and suffer from slow mixing when the data are high-dimensional or the best fitting trees are more than a few layers deep. We present a novel sampler for BART based on the Particle Gibbs (PG) algorithm (Andrieu et al., 2010) and a top-down particle filtering algorithm for Bayesian decision trees (Lakshminarayanan et al., 2013). Rather than making local changes to individual trees, the PG sampler proposes a complete tree to fit the residual. Experiments show that the PG sampler outperforms existing samplers in many settings.

description: The collective dynamics of mobile scatterers and light in optical resonators generates complex behaviour. For strong transverse illumination a phase transition from homogeneous to crystalline particle order appears. In contrast, a gas inside a single-side pumped ring cavity exhibits an instability towards bunching and collective acceleration called collective atomic recoil lasing (CARL). We demonstrate that by driving two orthogonally polarized counter propagating modes of a ring resonator one realises both cases within one system. The corresponding phase diagram depending on the two pump intensities exhibits regions in which either a generalized form of self-ordering towards a travelling density wave with constant centre of mass velocity or a CARL instability is formed. Controlling the cavity driving then allows to accelerate or slow down and trap a sufficiently dense beam of linearly polarizable particles.

description: We introduce an accurate and efficient method for a class of nonlocal potential evaluations with free boundary condition, including the 3D/2D Coulomb, 2D Poisson and 3D dipolar potentials. Our method is based on a Gaussian-sum approximation of the singular convolution kernel and Taylor expansion of the density. Starting from the convolution formulation, for smooth and fast decaying densities, we make a full use of the Fourier pseudospectral (plane wave) approximation of the density and a separable Gaussian-sum approximation of the kernel in an interval where the singularity (the origin) is excluded. Hence, the potential is separated into a regular integral and a near-field singular correction integral, where the first integral is computed with the Fourier pseudospectral method and the latter singular one can be well resolved utilizing a low-order Taylor expansion of the density. Both evaluations can be accelerated by fast Fourier transforms (FFT). The new method is accurate (14-16 digits), efficient ($O(N \log N)$ complexity), low in storage, easily adaptable to other different kernels, applicable for anisotropic densities and highly parallelable.
