description: We have used the very large JVAS/CLASS 8.4-GHz surveys of flat-spectrum radio sources to obtain a large, uniformly observed and calibrated, sample of radio source polarizations. These are useful for many investigations of the properties of radio sources and the interstellar medium. We discuss comparisons with polarization measurements from this survey and from other large-scale surveys of polarization in flat-spectrum sources.

description: There is an urgent need of biosynthetic bone grafts with enhanced osteogenic capacity. In this study, we describe the design of hierarchical meso-macroporous 3D-scaffolds based on mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs), enriched with the peptide osteostatin and Zn2+ ions, and their osteogenic effect on human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) as a preclinical strategy in bone regeneration. By using additive fabrication techniques, scaffolds exhibiting hierarchical porosity: mesopores , macropores and big channels, were prepared. These MBG scaffolds with or without osteostatin were evaluated in cell cultures of hMSCs. Zinc promoted hMSCs colonization (both the surface and inside) of MBG scaffolds. Moreover, Zn2+ ions and osteostatin together, but not independently, in the scaffolds were found to induce the osteoblast differentiation genes runt related transcription factor-2 (RUNX2) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in hMSCs after 7 d of culture in the absence of an osteogenic differentiation-promoting medium. These results add credence to the combined use of zinc and osteostatin as an effective strategy for bone regeneration applications.

description: The influence of imperfections on achievable secret-key generation rates of quantum key distribution protocols is investigated. As examples of relevant imperfections, we consider tagging of Alice's qubits and dark counts at Bob's detectors, while we focus on a powerful eavesdropping strategy which takes full advantage of tagged signals. It is demonstrated that error correction and privacy amplification based on a combination of a two-way classical communication protocol and asymmetric Calderbank-Shor-Steane codes may significantly postpone the disastrous influence of dark counts. As a result, the distances are increased considerably over which a secret key can be distributed in optical fibres reliably. Results are presented for the four-state, the six-state, and the decoy-state protocols.

description: If the photon possessed a nonzero charge, then electromagnetic waves traveling along different paths would acquire Aharonov-Bohm phase differences. The fact that such an effect has not hindered interferometric astronomy places a bound on the photon charge estimated to be at the 10^(-32) e level if all photons have the same charge and 10^(-46) e if different photons can carry different charges.

description: Creating a profile for your library with a distinct personality can be a challenge, especially in the current digital age where social media and mobile platforms are patrons' main sources of interaction and information-gathering. How do libraries manage this hurdle and connect to the varying demographics of their patrons? The Priddy Library is using Adobe Spark to upgrade its social media to engage with patrons at their level through the platforms they frequent the most, such as Instagram. Our goal is to have a unique profile with a strong voice that attracts patrons, but also provides them with the resources they need from the library. Adobe Spark allows our social media team to create captivating posts, pages and videos that connect users with library services, inclusive and diverse experiences, along with other tools they will need to be successful. Through trainings we offer on the use of Adobe Spark for students, faculty and staff, it can not only enhance our users' experience with social media but in a variety of other aspects of their life, such as personal milestones, business ventures, professional promotion, and academia. Attendees will walk away with practical knowledge on using Adobe Spark and social media practices that can help take your library's digital marketing to an entirely new level.
The Verification of a Novel Explant System Used to Determine the Role of Osteocytes in the Breast Cancer Vicious Cycle

description: Breast cancer affects one in eight women per year, and 70% of patients with stage IV breast cancer develop metastases in bone, causing life-threatening side effects. We examine the use of an explant system to mimic breast cancer metastasis to bone without confounding cell types and to determine the role that osteocytes, the bone mechanosensing cells, may have in the development of metastasis. Using the explant system, a custom cell seeder and sterile cell culture techniques, we introduced metastatic MDA-MB-231/GFP cells to a three-dimensional bone matrix with osteocytes only. Confocal imaging confirms that breast cancer cells were, in fact, successfully seeded onto bone cores, mimicking metastasis. Though additional experiments will be necessary to determine the importance of breast cancer-osteocyte interactions, this study shows that the explant system is a viable methodology for studying breast cancer in bone.

description: Student work and supervision in libraries was one of the many day-to-day routines disrupted and displaced by COVID-19. In response to these circumstances, the University of Maryland College Park Libraries instituted a student telework program. This program allowed retention of the student assistant pool while providing those students with opportunities to contribute to library operations and focus on professional development. This session will cover the process both supervisors and students undertook to rapidly reach a “new normal” amidst uncertain circumstances. Topics for discussion will include why the decision was made to keep student assistants working, the challenges and concerns faced during the move to a virtual work environment, the unexpected successes that resulted from the shift to telework, and lessons learned to help shape next steps as the pandemic is continually evolving. This session seeks to impart knowledge that could be useful to other libraries dealing with similar disruptions. Budgets permitting, hopefully other libraries can utilize the lessons discussed in this session as an additional resource when determining the future of student employment through unexpected events such as COVID-19.

description: Abstract

The establishment of the Indonesia Land Bank Authority (ILBA) aims to optimise land management for development, which has been limited primarily by land availability issues. For ILBA to effectively fulfil its duties as a state land manager, a well-designed business model is crucial. This research applied Soft System Methodology (SSM) to analyse ILBA's business model regarding land acquisition, land management, and land utilisation. The study's results indicate the requirement for various crucial activities and policies supporting the ILBA's functions, including reviewing and harmonising internal and external regulations, engaging with all concerned stakeholders, and enhancing land development and utilisation. The activities can significantly benefit ILBA in fulfilling its role as a State Land Manager, particularly in terms of enhancing the value of its land assets and maximising their use for six development objectives, including public interests, social interests, national development interests, economic equity, land consolidation, and agrarian reform.

description: While the Heisenberg model for magnetic Mott insulators on planar lattice structures is comparatively well understood in the case of transition metal ions, the intrinsic spin-orbit entanglement of 4f magnetic ions on such lattices shows fascinating new physics largely due to corresponding strong anisotropies both in their single-ion and their exchange properties. We show here that the Yb delafossites, containing perfect magnetic Yb$^{3+}$ triangular lattice planes with pseudospin $s=1/2$ at low temperatures, are an ideal platform to study these new phenomena. Competing frustrated interactions may lead to an absence of magnetic order associated to a gapless spin liquid ground state with a huge linear specific heat exceeding that of many heavy fermions, whereas the application of a magnetic field induces anisotropic magnetic order with successive transitions into different long ranged ordered structures. In this comparative study, we discuss our experimental findings in terms of a unified crystal-field and exchange model. We combine electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments and results from neutron scattering with measurements of the magnetic susceptibility, isothermal magnetization up to full polarization, and specific heat to determine the relevant model parameters. The impact of the crystal field is discussed as well as the symmetry-compatible form of the exchange tensor, and we give explicit expressions for the anisotropic g factor, the temperature dependence of the susceptibility, the exchange-narrowed EPR linewidth and the saturation field.

description: We compare the most successful and widely used map of Galactic dust extinction, provided by Schlegel, Finkbeiner & Davis (1998; hereafter SFD), to the galaxy number counts in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometric/spectroscopic DR4 sample. We divide the SDSS survey area into 69 disjoint subregions according to the dust extinction provided by SFD and compare the surface number density of galaxies in each subregion. As expected, the galaxy surface number density decreases with increasing extinction but only for SFD extinction values above about 0.1 to 0.2 magnitudes (depending on the band). At lower values of the SFD extinction, we find that the sky surface density of galaxies increases with increasing extinction, precisely the opposite of the effect expected from Galactic dust. We suggest that the far infrared (FIR) brightness of the sky in regions of true low dust extinction is significantly ``contaminated'' by the FIR emission from background galaxies. We show that such an explanation is both qualitatively and quantitatively consistent with the available data. Based on this interpretation we conclude that systematic errors in the SFD extinction map due to extragalactic FIR emission are quite small, of order hundredths of a magnitude, but nevertheless statistically detectable.

Nonrelativistic quark model calculation of the K-P --> [Lambda gamma] and K-P --> [Sigma]0[gamma] branching ratios
Creators: name: Murphy, Philip
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The radiative annihilation of K⁻p atoms to Λγ and ∑°γ is investigated using a non-relativistic harmonic oscillator quark model. A nonrelativistic reduction of the first order Feynman diagrams is performed to yield a gauge invariant interaction, which is sandwiched between three quark wave functions. Pseudoscalar and pseudovector coupling schemes are used for the strong vertex and the effects of SU(3)flavour breaking is explored. We obtain results which are in agreement with experiment for the ∑°γ but are somewhat high for the Λγ calculation.

The aims of these tests are to see whether the diffraction efficiency as a function of wavelength is significantly different at a low temperature from that at room temperature and to see how the performance of a VPH grating is affected by a number of thermal cycles. We have completed 10 cycles between room temperature and 100 $K$, and find no clear evidence that the diffraction efficiency changes with temperature or with successive thermal cycle.

description: We study the fields of endomorphisms intertwining pairs of symplectic structures. Using these endomorphisms we prove an analogue of Moser's theorem for simultaneous isotopies of two families of symplectic forms. We also consider the geometric structures defined by pairs and triples of symplectic forms for which the squares of the intertwining endomorphisms are plus or minus the identity. For pairs of forms we recover the notions of symplectic pairs and of holomorphic symplectic structures. For triples we recover the notion of a hypersymplectic structure, and we also find three new structures that have not been considered before. One of these is the symplectic formulation of hyper-Kaehler geometry, which turns out to be a strict generalization of the usual definition in terms of differential or Kaehler geometry.

Pamela Fox. Natural Acts: Gender, Race, and Rusticity in Country Music
Creators: name: Heidemann, Kate Ellen
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2011

description: What constitutes authenticity in country music? Artists’ claims to “realness” might be based on the sincerity of their performances, rural upbringing, or working-class credentials. Authenticity in country music is often established via the performance of rusticity-a performance is deemed authentic if it is unrefined and unsophisticated, if the performer is acting “naturally.” It is also the case, however, that factors such as changing economies, migrations, and contemporaneous shifts in social norms and hierarchies all contribute to varied definitions of authenticity and how those definitions change over time. In Natural Acts: Gender, Race, and Rusticity in Country Music, Pamela Fox shows how some of country’s “natural acts” are predicated on complex and changing definitions of authenticity produced and circulated by artists, listeners, critics, and the country music broadcast and recording industries. Through her astute analysis of several country archetypes and modes of performance, Fox demonstrates how gender and race, in addition to class, have informed these notions of authenticity in country music over the course of the twentieth century. As Fox explores “how the uneven coalescence of gender, class, and race positionalities fuels country’s claims to authenticity and its concomitant performative practices”, the chronologically and often conceptually distinct musical subjects of the book come together to form “an alternative history of country authenticity as a gendered and racialized class construction”. Fox focuses primarily on four phases/performative models within country: blackface and hillbilly comedy acts that appeared side-by-side in early twentieth century barn dance programs, post-war honky-tonk and the “answer songs” of female honky-tonk performers, memoirs of women country stars, and the alt. country ( alternative country) movement of recent decades. Fox’s critical approach is informed by multiple theories of gender, race, and class; the result of applying her approach to this variety of subjects is an insightful, multi-faceted history of the construction of country authenticity, one that recognizes the compound influences contributing to the formation of the notion of country authenticity over time.

We present here a summary of searches for periodic modulation in the flux from X-ray binaries. Our results include: determination of the orbital periods of IGR J16418-4532 and IGR J16320-4751; the disappearance of a previously known 9.6 day period in 4U 2206+54; the detection of a 5 hour period in the symbiotic X-ray binary 4U 1954+31, which might be the slowest neutron star rotation period yet discovered; and the detection of flares in the supergiant system 1E 1145.1-6141 which occur at both periastron and apastron passage with nearly equal amplitude. We compare techniques of weighting data points in power spectra and present a method related to the semi-weighted mean which, unlike conventional weighting, works well over a wide range of source brightness.

Laurie Stas, ed. She’s So Fine: Reflections on Whitness, Femininity, Adolescence, and Class in 1960s Music
Creators: name: Yamagata, Sayo
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2011

description: Laurie Stras’s edited volume She’s So Fine: Reflections on Whiteness, Femininity, Adolescence and Class in 1960s Music is a welcome addition to the recent scholarship on music by female musicians of the 1960s that attends to the complexity of the women and girls who performed and listened to this music in the United States and the United Kingdom. So unexplored is this area of inquiry from a musicological standpoint that, in her introduction, Stras appropriately envisions She’s So Fine to be the “beginning of a re-evaluation-with emphasis on value-of the very premises of 1950s and 1960s pop”. By extension, Stras’s ambitions for the book not only necessitate an interrogation of the merits of the popular music canon, but also call for a reconsideration of the standard criteria for assigning and naturalizing value wherever it calcifies. The pop music of women musicians in the 1960s has, critically and in general popular thought, been denigrated for its polish and mass appeal. Celebrated volumes on rock history such as The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock and Roll, (2001) or Robert Palmer’s Rock and Roll: An Unruly History (1995) have participated in the dismissal of girl groups by crediting their success to the complex labor force of producers and song-writers “behind” the musicians. Stras observes that “Pop and its attendant girlspace, with their alleged emphasis on conformity and concomitant lack of authenticity, have been noted as a phenomenon, but one that always seems to operate as a foil to prove rock’s ultimate superior cultural worth” . The most troubling problem posed by these gendered constructions of ’60s genres is not so much that popular music is consistently gendered “female”-for as Stras observes, pop music was indeed a space dominated by teenage girls who represented the target audience but that this feminization simultaneously becomes a marker of conformity, lack, or devaluation. Clearly, the diminished social status of adolescent girls in Western culture is one explanation for the motivations behind this discursive and political suppression of ’60s girl pop and the heterogeneity of the girl singers in question. She s So Fine, therefore, is a valuable feminist work because it resonates as the unequivocal rejoinder to all of the pejorative connotations that justifY the reduction and dismissal of the category of “girl” from androcentric histories of popular culture.

description: Using radio, X-ray and optical observations, we present evidence for morphological changes due to efficient cosmic ray ion acceleration in the structure of the southeastern region of the supernova remnant SN 1006. SN 1006 has an apparent bipolar morphology in both the radio and high-energy X-ray synchrotron emission. In the optical, the shock front is clearly traced by a filament of Balmer emission in the southeast. This optical emission enables us to trace the location of the blast wave (BW) even in places where the synchrotron emission from relativistic electrons is either absent or too weak to detect. The contact discontinuity (CD) is traced using images in the low-energy X-rays (oxygen band) which we argue reveals the distribution of shocked ejecta. We interpret the azimuthal variations of the ratio of radii between the BW and CD plus the X-ray and radio synchrotron emission at the BW using CR-modified hydrodynamic models. We assumed different azimuthal profiles for the injection rate of particles into the acceleration process, magnetic field and level of turbulence. We found that the observations are consistent with a model in which these parameters are all azimuthally varying, being largest in the brightest regions.

description: The electrical and structural properties of GaAs and Al[formula omitted]Ga₁-[formula omitted]As grown by molecular beam epitaxy have been studied, including cross section morphology, aluminum mole fraction, and electrical transport properties. The film cross section has been investigated by selective etching, and microscopy. The selectively etched samples were examined with an alpha step instrument, a scanning electron microscope, and a scanning tunneling microscope which is a new approach. The aluminium mole fraction of Al[formula omitted]Ga₁-[formula omitted]As in grown layers have been measured with x-ray diffraction. A Rigaku x-ray diffractometer designed for powders was extended to single crystals. A new way of calculating the Al mole fraction from the x-ray diffraction spectrum was developed. The electrical transport properties including carrier concentration, Hall coefficients, resistivity and Hall mobility have been measured and calculated from 4 K to 300 K by means of the Van der Pauw method. Sample patterning was found to be necessary for accurate and reproducible measurements. A variety of samples was measured, including doped and undoped GaAs films. The two-band theory was used to interpret the measurement results. The temperature dependence of electron concentration in the conduction band was fit with an exponential function. From the fit, we obtained the activation energy of the impurity. The residual impurity in the MBE system was found to be mainly silicon.

description: We have performed a wide-field imaging survey of the globular cluster (GC) populations around M87 out to a radius of ~ 0.5 Mpc with Suprime-Cam on the 8.2m Subaru Telescope. By investigating the GC colour distribution as a function of distance from M87 and NGC 4552, another luminous Virgo elliptical in our survey field, it is found that clear bimodality ((V-I)_peak ~ 1.0 and 1.2) is seen only in the inner regions (< 10 kpc) of the host galaxies and that it becomes weaker with radius due to the decreasing contribution of the red GC (V-I > 1.1) subpopulation. It is also found (both around M87 and NGC 4552) that while the spatial distribution of the red GCs is as centrally concentrated as the host galaxy halo light distribution, the distribution of the blue GCs (V-I < 1.1) tends to be more extended. However, the blue GC distribution around M87 is not as extended as the Virgo cluster mass density profile. Based on these facts, we argue that the contribution of GCs associated with the Virgo cluster (e.g., intergalactic GCs) is not significant around M87 and is not the primary reason for the high S_N value of M87. Instead, most of the blue GCs around luminous ellipticals, as well as the red GCs, are presumed to be associated with the host galaxy. We model the radial profile of GC surface densities out to ~ 0.5 Mpc from M87 by a superposition of the GC populations associated with M87 and with NGC 4552, suggesting the existence of an additional intergalactic GC (i-GC) population independent of the luminous ellipticals. We obtain a crude estimate of i-GC specific frequency S_N = 2.9 (+4.2, -1.5), which may indicate the contribution of tidally captured GCs in the GC population of M87 is low to be consistent with the high S_N value of M87.

Review Essay: “Metal in Three Modes of Enmity: Political, Musical, Cosmic.”
Creators: name: Forshaw, Juliet Eleanor
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2011

description: Scholarship on metal always seems a little bewildered or put on the defensive by the genre’s profoundly adversarial nature. Metal certainly opposes something, and to a large extent is defined by this opposition rather than by any obvious message of its own, but what exactly does it oppose? Certain political values? Certain kinds of music? Certain religions? Or does it represent a vague opposition to “things in general;” is it the music of rebellion without a cause? The short answer, judging by the academic treatments under review here as well as earlier attempts to censor it, is that it opposes whatever its interpreters want it to. Thus its critics site accusations of racism, sexism, and homophobia, while supporters praise its supposed opposition to capitalism, strict gender roles, and even the concept of order itself. Many of these metal partisans, especially those whose primary concern is the rehabilitation of an art form often perceived as ethically problematic, spend so much time explaining away its disturbing features that they ignore the possibility that disturbance is precisely the point. Even those who do recognize disturbance as a fundamental aim of metal and call attention to the specific forms that that disturbance takes, such as expressions of animosity toward certain groups of people, often fail to explain why listeners are attracted to these sounds. That the appeal doesn’t lie only in bigotry is clear from the growing number of fans who come from the very groups that have been the most stigmatized in metal-women, ethnic minorities, religiously observant people, and queer women and men. The following essay will not fully explain either the genre’s lust for enmity in all forms or the perverse attraction that this spirit of antagonism holds for fans, but it will at least review current scholarly thought on these subjects and suggest some possible avenues for future exploration. I will provide a brief overview of the scholarship that first legitimized the study of metal and consider three recent books that each turn the notion of metal’s enmity toward other things into an analytical methodology; that is, they attempt to define it by what it is not and by what it opposes. The books cast metal in opposition to certain political values, kinds of music, and religious/philosophical worldviews. Out of our discussion-imbued with the recognition that metal exists only in opposition, enmity, and negativity toward something else-will emerge a sense of the elusiveness of this art form as a subject of inquiry and the difficulty of finding a methodological approach that fully captures its strangeness, darkness, and hostility toward analysis.

description: The existence of highly localized multi-site oscillatory structures (discrete multibreathers) in a nonlinear Klein-Gordon chain which is characterized by an inverse dispersion law is proven and their linear stability is investigated. The results are applied in the description of vertical (transverse, off-plane) dust grain motion in dusty plasma crystals, by taking into account the lattice discreteness and the sheath electric and/or magnetic field nonlinearity. Explicit values from experimental plasma discharge experiments are considered. The possibility for the occurrence of multibreathers associated with vertical charged dust grain motion in strongly-coupled dusty plasmas (dust crystals) is thus established. From a fundamental point of view, this study aims at providing a first rigorous investigation of the existence of intrinsic localized modes in Debye crystals and/or dusty plasma crystals and, in fact, suggesting those lattices as model systems for the study of fundamental crystal properties.

Casimir Interaction Between a Plane and a Sphere: Correction to the Proximity-Force Approximation at Intermediate Temperatures

description: We consider the Casimir interaction energy between a plane and a sphere of radius $R$ at finite temperature $T$ as a function of the distance of closest approach $L$. Typical experimental conditions are such that the thermal wavelength $λ_T=\hbar c/k_\mathrm{B}T$ satisfies the condition $L\ll λ_T\ll R$. We derive the leading correction to the proximity-force approximation valid for such intermediate temperatures by developing the scattering formula in the plane-wave basis. Our analytical result captures the joint effect of the spherical geometry and temperature and is written as a sum of temperature-dependent logarithmic terms. Surprisingly, two of the logarithmic terms arise from the Matsubara zero-frequency contribution.

Gravitational instability of discs with dissipative corona around supermassive black holes

description: We study the dynamical structure of a self-gravitating disc with corona around a super-massive black hole. Assuming that the magneto-rotational-instability (MRI) responsible for generating the turbulent stresses inside the disc is also the source for a magnetically dominated corona, a fraction of the power released when the disc matter accretes is transported to and dissipated in the corona. This has major effect on the structure of the disc and its gravitational (in)stability according to our analytical and self-consistent solutions. We determine the radius where the disc crosses the inner radius of gravitational instability and forms the first stars. Not only the location of this radius which may extend to very large distances from the central black hole, but also the mass of the first stars highly depends on the input parameters, notably the viscous coefficient, mass of the central object and the accretion rate. For accretion discs around quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) and the Galactic center, we determine the self-gravitating radius and the mass of the first clumps. Comparing the cases with a corona and without a corona for typical discs around QSOs or the Galactic center, when the viscosity coefficient is around 0.3, we show that the self-gravitating radius decreases by a factor of approximately 2, but the mass of the fragments increases with more or less the same factor. Existence of a corona implies a more gravitationally unstable disc according to our results. The effect of a corona on the instability of the disc is more effective when the viscosity coefficient increases.

description: The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is a vaccine used to prevent measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles). The vaccine is mandated for children to attend public school in nearly all US states. However, measles cases have been increasing in the past decade, and quality problems have recently been noted by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with the vaccine manufacturer.
Intra-lot and inter-lot variability in the spectra of MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine was detected in the Drug Quality Study (DQS) using Fourier transform near-infrared spectrometry (FTNIR). Six vials of 12 (50%) sampled from Merck lot U006488 appeared 14.5 SDs from the other vials on a subcluster detection test, suggesting that they represent different material.
Spectra of 198 vials from 12 lots in the spectral library contained 140 vials in one tight ellipsoidal group, and 58 vials (30%) were outside that group (39.7 SDs using a subcluster detection test), suggesting that the library vials also contain differing materials.
