description: We performed a series of in-depth qualitative interviews with 14 subjects who answered advertisements to participate in a university study about Internet advertising. Subjects were not informed this study had to do with behavioral advertising privacy, but raised privacy concerns on their own unprompted. We asked, “what are the best and worst things about Internet advertising?” and “what do you think about Internet advertising?” Participants held a wide range of views ranging from enthusiasm about ads that inform them of new products and discounts they would not otherwise know about, to resignation that ads are "a fact of life," to resentment of ads that they find “insulting.” Many participants raised privacy issues in the first few minutes of discussion without any prompting about privacy. We discovered that many participants have a poor understanding of how Internet advertising works, do not understand the use of first-party cookies, let alone third-party cookies, did not realize that behavioral advertising already takes place, believe that their actions online are completely anonymous unless they are logged into a website, and believe that there are legal protections that prohibit companies from sharing information they collect online. We found that participants have substantial confusion about the results of the actions they take within their browsers, do not understand the technology they work with now, and clear cookies as much out of a notion of hygiene as for privacy. When we asked participants to read the NAI opt-out cookie description, only one understood the text. One participant expressed concern the NAI opt-out program was actually a scam to gather additional personal information. No participants had heard of opt-out cookies or flash cookies. We also found divergent views on what constitutes advertising. Industry self-regulation guidelines assume consumers can distinguish third-party widgets from first-party content, and further assume that consumers understand data flows to third-party advertisers. Instead, we find some people are not even aware of when they are being advertised to, let alone aware of what data is collected or how it is used.

description: Histologic and ultrastructural features of bovine progressive degenerative myeloencephalopathy (BPDME) in Brown Swiss cattle are described. There was evidence of axonal degeneration with predominance of simultaneous degradation of both axon and myelin. Phagocytic cells were present in areas of degeneration and were active in removing axonal debris. These lesions are not specific to the BPDME and can be classified as Wallerian degeneration.

description: We present the first results of a search for transient hard X-ray (HXR) emission in the quiet solar corona with the \textit{Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array} (\textit{NuSTAR}) satellite. While \textit{NuSTAR} was designed as an astrophysics mission, it can observe the Sun above 2~keV with unprecedented sensitivity due to its pioneering use of focusing optics. \textit{NuSTAR} first observed quiet Sun regions on 2014 November 1, although out-of-view active regions contributed a notable amount of background in the form of single-bounce (unfocused) X-rays. We conducted a search for quiet Sun transient brightenings on time scales of 100 s and set upper limits on emission in two energy bands. We set 2.5--4~keV limits on brightenings with time scales of 100 s, expressed as the temperature T and emission measure EM of a thermal plasma. We also set 10--20~keV limits on brightenings with time scales of 30, 60, and 100 s, expressed as model-independent photon fluxes. The limits in both bands are well below previous HXR microflare detections, though not low enough to detect events of equivalent T and EM as quiet Sun brightenings seen in soft X-ray observations. We expect future observations during solar minimum to increase the \textit{NuSTAR} sensitivity by over two orders of magnitude due to higher instrument livetime and reduced solar background.

description: Online behavioral advertisers track users across websites, often without users' knowledge. Over the last twelve years, the online behavioral advertising industry has responded to the resulting privacy concerns and pressure from the FTC by creating private self-regulatory bodies. These include the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and an umbrella organization known as the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). In this paper, we enumerate the DAA and NAI notice and choice requirements and check for compliance with those requirements by examining NAI members' privacy policies and reviewing ads on the top 100 websites. We also test DAA and NAI opt-out mechanisms and categorize how their members define opting out. Our results show that most members are in compliance with some of the notice and choice requirements, but two years after the DAA published its Self-Regulatory Principles, there are still numerous instances of non-compliance. Most examples of non-compliance are related to the "enhanced notice" requirement, which requires advertisers to mark behavioral ads with a link to further information and a means of opting out.

description: The temperature and field dependence of reversible magnetization have been measured on a YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ single crystal at six different doping concentrations. It is found that the data above 2 T can be described by the scaling law based on the GL-LLL (lowest Landau level approach based on Ginzburg-Landau theory) critical fluctuation theory yielding the values of the slope of upper critical field $-\mathrm{d}H_{\mathrm{c2}}(T)/\mathrm{d}T$ near $T_\mathrm{c}$. This set of values is self-consistent with that obtained in doing the universal scaling for the six samples. Based on a simple Ginzburg-Landau approach, we determined the doping dependence of the coherence length $ξ$ which behaves in a similar way as that determined from $ξ= \hbar v_\mathrm{F}/E_\mathrm{sc}$ with $E_\mathrm{sc}$ the superconducting energy scale. Our results may suggest a growing coherence length towards more underdoping.

We demonstrate that this mechanism occurs quite naturally in intersecting-brane constructions of the Standard Model, and show that it solves some of the theoretical difficulties faced in matching baryogenesis to experimental bounds. We illustrate with a specific example model. We also discuss the possible signals at the LHC.

Dynamical recovery of SU(2) symmetry in the mass-quenched Hubbard model

description: We use non-equilibrium dynamical mean-field theory with iterative perturbation theory as an impurity solver to study the recovery of $SU(2)$ symmetry in real-time following a hopping integral parameter quench from a mass-imbalanced to a mass-balanced single-band Hubbard model at half-filling. A dynamical order parameter $γ(t)$ is defined to characterize the evolution of the system towards $SU(2)$ symmetry. By comparing the momentum dependent occupation from an equilibrium calculation (with the $SU(2)$ symmetric Hamiltonian after the quench at an effective temperature) with the data from our non-equilibrium calculation, we conclude that the $SU(2)$ symmetry recovered state is a thermalized state. Further evidence from the evolution of the density of states supports this conclusion. At the same time, we find the order parameter in the weak Coulomb interaction regime undergoes an approximate exponential decay. We numerically investigate the interplay of the relevant parameters (initial temperature, Coulomb interaction strength, initial mass-imbalance ratio) and their combined effect on the thermalization behavior. Finally, we study evolution of the order parameter as the hopping parameter is changed with either a linear ramp or a pulse. Our results can be useful in strategies to engineer the relaxation behavior of interacting, quantum many-particle systems.

description: Second-order topological insulators are characterized by helical, non-spin-degenerate one-dimensional states running along opposite crystal hinges with no backscattering. Injecting superconducting pairs therefore entails splitting Cooper pairs into two families of helical Andreev states of opposite helicity, one at each hinge. Here we provide evidence for such separation via the measurement and analysis of the switching supercurrent statistics of a crystalline nanoring of bismuth. Using a phenomenological model of two helical Andreev hinge modes, we find that pairs relax at a rate comparable to individual quasiparticles, in contrast to the much faster pair relaxation of non-topological systems. This constitutes a unique telltale sign of the spatial separation of topological helical hinges.

description: A technique for production of an electron beam with a high transverse emittance ratio. a "flat" beam, has been proposed by Brinkmann, Derbenev, and Floettmann.[1] The cathode of an RF-laser gun is immersed in a solenoidal magnetic field; as a result the beam emitted from a round laser spot has a net angular momentum. Subsequent passage through a quadrupole channel that has a 90 degree difference in phase advance between the transverse degrees of freedom results in a flat beam. Experimental study is underway at the Fermilab A0 Photoinjector. Thus far, transverse emittance ratios as high as 50 have been observed, and the results are in substantial agreement with simulation.

description: As digital content becomes more prevalent in the home, nontechnical users are increasingly interested in sharing that content with others and accessing it from multiple devices. Not much is known about how these users think about controlling access to this data. To better understand this, we conducted semi-structured, in-situ interviews with 33 users in 15 households. We found that users create ad-hoc access-control mechanisms that do not always work; that their ideal polices are complex and multi-dimensional; that a priori policy specification is often insufficient; and that people’s mental models of access control and security are often misaligned with current systems. We detail these findings and present a set of associated guidelines for designing usable access-control systems for the home environment.

Year: 1991

description: This paper was presented at the Minnesota Dairy Conference for Veterinarians held at the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota (Minnesota, USA, 5-6 June 1991). Costs associated with milk production are examined with reference to the dairy profit equation, profit = (price - cost) × vol., and financial performance parameters and simulated budget summaries for dairy farms in Wisconsin, USA. Profit performance was found to be highly variable from farm to farm relative to all production measures; highly profitable farms had larger herd sizes, higher production per cow, lower feed costs, received a higher milk price and had better control of practically all production cost categories; and the benefit of tighter control of economic efficiencies improved profitability by >$2.50/cwt independent of productivity.

description: A pseudorandom number generator is widely used in cryptography. A cryptographic pseudorandom number generator is required to generate pseudorandom numbers which have good statistical properties as well as unpredictability. An m-sequence is a linear feedback shift register sequence with maximal period over a finite field. M-sequences have good statistical properties, however we must nonlinearize m-sequences for cryptographic purposes. A geometric sequence is a binary sequence given by applying a nonlinear feedforward function to an m-sequence. Nogami, Tada and Uehara proposed a geometric sequence whose nonlinear feedforward function is given by the Legendre symbol. They showed the geometric sequences have good properties for the period, periodic autocorrelation and linear complexity. However, the geometric sequences do not have the balance property. In this paper, we introduce geometric sequences of two types and show some properties of interleaved sequences of the geometric sequences of two types. These interleaved sequences have the balance property and double the period of the geometric sequences by the interleaved structure. Moreover, we show correlation properties and linear complexity of the interleaved sequences. A key of our observation is that the second type geometric sequence is the complement of the left shift of the first type geometric sequence by half-period positions.

description: A number of transition-metal (TM) doped group-IV semiconductors, R$_{x}$Y$_{1-x}$ (R=Cr, Mn and Fe; Y=Si, Ge), have been studied by the first principles calculations. The obtained results show that antiferromagnetic (AFM) order is energetically more favored than ferromagnetic (FM) order in Cr-doped Ge and Si with $x$=0.03125 and 0.0625. In 6.25% Fe-doped Ge, FM interaction dominates in all range of the R-R distances while for Fe-doped Ge at 3.125% and Fe-doped Si at both concentrations of 3.125% and 6.25%, only in a short R-R range can the FM states exist. In the Mn-doped case, the RKKY-like mechanism seems to be suitable for the Ge host matrix, while for the Mn-doped Si, the short-range AFM interaction competes with the long-range FM interaction. The different origin of the magnetic orders in these diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) makes the microscopic mechanism of the ferromagnetism in the DMSs more complex and attractive.

description: While nighttime curfews are less severe restrictions compared to around-the-clock curfews in mitigating the spread of Covid-19, they are nevertheless highly controversial, with the scarce literature on their effectiveness providing mixed evidence. We study the effectiveness of the nighttime curfew in Hamburg, Germany’s second largest city, in mitigating the spread of Covid-19. This curfew forbid people from leaving their home between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. for non-essential businesses. Applying both difference-in-differences and synthetic control group methods, we find that the curfew was effective in reducing the number of Covid-19 cases. As it is unclear whether and how the virus will mutate in the next time, policy-makers might have to resort to non-pharmaceutical interventions again. Nighttime curfews should be kept in the toolbox of policy-makers to fight Covid-19.

The Use of cowside milk progesterone assay as an effective management tool
Creators: name: Casetta, James J.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1991

description: Progesterone is a hormone that is produced by the corpus luteum during its functional period in the estrus cycle of the cow. Progesterone is produced by the functional corpus luetum during pregnancy. It can also be produced by a luteal cyst. Progesterone circulates in the blood and can be found in the milk in measurable quantities. The level of progesterone in a milk sample indicates the presence or absence of progesterone producing structures on the ovaries. Determination of ovarian structures at a specific time provides valuable information about the stage of estrus, pregnancy status, and ovarian health, as this article will discuss in detail. A cowside milk progesterone assay can be used to rapidly and economically determine the approximate level of progesterone in a sample of milk, which yields valuable information about the reproductive status of the cow.

description: Analysis of geostatistical data is often based on the assumption that the spatial random field is isotropic. This assumption, if erroneous, can adversely affect model predictions and statistical inference. Nowadays many applications consider data over the entire globe and hence it is necessary to check the assumption of isotropy on a sphere. In this paper, a test for spatial isotropy on a sphere is proposed. The data are first projected onto the set of spherical harmonic functions. Under isotropy, the spherical harmonic coefficients are uncorrelated whereas they are correlated if the underlying fields are not isotropic. This motivates a test based on the sample correlation matrix of the spherical harmonic coefficients. In particular, we use the largest eigenvalue of the sample correlation matrix as the test statistic. Extensive simulations are conducted to assess the Type I errors of the test under different scenarios. We show how temporal correlation affects the test and provide a method for handling temporal correlation. We also gauge the power of the test as we move away from isotropy. The method is applied to the near-surface air temperature data which is part of the HadCM3 model output. Although we do not expect global temperature fields to be isotropic, we propose several anisotropic models with increasing complexity, each of which has an isotropic process as model component and we apply the test to the isotropic component in a sequence of such models as a method of determining how well the models capture the anisotropy in the fields.

description: Mobile malware is growing – both in overall volume and in number of existing variants – at a pace rapid enough that systematic manual, human analysis is becoming increasingly difficult. As a result, there is a pressing need for techniques and tools that provide automated analysis of mobile malware samples. We present A5, an automated system to process Android malware. A5 is a hybrid system combining static and dynamic malware analysis techniques. Android’s architecture permits many different paths for malware to react to system events, any of which may result in malicious behavior. Key innovations in A5 consist in novel methods of interacting with mobile malware to better coerce malicious behavior, and in combining both virtual and physical pools of Android platforms to capture behavior that could otherwise be missed. The primary output of A5 is a set of network threat indicators and intrusion detection system signatures that can be used to detect and prevent malicious network activity. We detail A5’s distributed design and demonstrate applicability of our interaction techniques using examples from real malware. Additionally, we compare A5 with other automated systems and provide performance measurements of an implementation, using a published dataset of 1,260 unique malware samples, showing that A5 can quickly process large amounts of malware. We provide a public web interface to our implementation of A5 that allows third parties to use A5 as a web service.

A Survey of the Use of Adobe Flash Local Shared Objects to Respawn HTTP Cookies (CMU-CyLab-11-001)

description: Website developers can use Adobe’s Flash Player product to store information locally on users’ disks with Local Shared Objects (LSOs). LSOs can be used to store state information and user identifiers, and thus can be used for similar purposes as HTTP cookies. In a paper by Soltani et al, researchers documented at least four instances of “respawning,” where users deleted their HTTP cookies only to have the HTTP cookies recreated based on LSO data. In addition, the Soltani team found half of the 100 most popular websites used Flash technologies to store information about users. Both respawning and using LSOs to store data about users can reduce online privacy. One year later, we visited popular websites plus 500 randomly-selected websites to determine if respawning still occurs. We found no instances at all of respawning in a randomly-selected group of 500 websites. We found two instances of respawning in the most popular 100 websites. While our methods are different from the Soltani team and we cannot compare directly, our results suggest respawning is not increasing, and may be waning. As in the Soltani study, we found LSOs with unique identifiers. In the 100 most popular websites, LSOs were set at 20, and 9 used their LSOs to store unique identifiers. In 500 randomly selected sites, LSOs were set at 41, and 17 used their LSOs to store unique identifiers. Unique identifiers may, or may not, be keys into back-end databases to perform cookie-style tracking. However, unique identifiers could be benign, for example, uniquely identifying a specific animation or music clip. While we can use contextual information like variable names to guess what a given unique identifier is for, using our study methods we cannot conclusively determine how companies use unique identifiers. We cannot quantify how many, if any, sites are using unique identifiers in LSOs for any purpose that might have privacy implications. Even assuming a pessimistic worst case where all websites with unique identifiers in LSOs are using them to track users, the percentage of such sites studied is low—9% of the top 100, and only 3.4% of the randomly-selected 500 sites we studied. However, over 40% of the LSOs in each data set used unique identifiers, and especially with the top 100 sites, many people could be affected. Because we found sites using LSOs as unique identifiers, we believe further study is needed to determine if these sites are using LSOs to evade users’ choices. However, without visibility into back-end databases, it is difficult to determine how unique identifiers are used. We conclude our paper with policy options and a discussion of implications for industry self-regulation of Internet privacy.

Interpretation of blood profiles in problem dairy herds
Creators: name: Cote, J. F.
name: Hoff, B.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1991

description: Blood profiles can be an important extension of the clinical evaluaton of herds with production or reproductive problems. Biochemical and haematological tests can be used to identify many factors involved in herd problems. However, other steps should also be taken to determine the nutritional and health status of a problem herd. For example, feed testing and ration evaluaton should be done along with the blood profile. Interpretation of profiles is most accurate if they are accompanied by clinical history and ration information. The clinician, the nutritionist and the clinical pathologist should work as a team.

Nature of intrinsic relation between Bloch-band tunneling and modulational instability

description: On examples of Bose-Einstein condensates embedded in two-dimensional optical lattices we show that in nonlinear periodic systems modulational instability and inter-band tunneling are intrinsically related phenomena. By direct numerical simulations we found that tunneling results in attenuation or enhancement of instability. On the other hand, instability results in asymmetric nonlinear tunneling. The effect strongly depends on the band gap structure and it is especially significant in the case of the resonant tunneling. The symmetry of the coherent structures emerging from the instability reflects the symmetry of both the stable and the unstable states between which the tunneling occurs. Our results provide an evidence of profound effect of the band structure on superfluid-insulator transition.

Extended Youden Design in Biological Assays and Optimal Design for Nonlinear Models
Creators: name: Hua, Yi
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation includes two topics in optimal design. Chapter 1 discusses the optimal design of biological assay experiments, of which the challenges lie in the multiple nuisance assay factors and the control required in each block. To solve this problem, we focus on a 2-way elimination of heterogeneity problem with non-equireplicated setup and propose and Extended Youden Design (EYD) that is optimal in this scenario. We also provide the construction of EYD based on Set of Distinct Representatives and demonstration with 3 example setups. The EYD provides an efficient solution in the biological assay applications and establishes discussion of optimality for 2-way elimination of non-replicated block designs. Chapter 2 discusses optimal designs for nonlinear models without canonical forms. The current complete class strategy succeeded in providing a unified framework to identify optimal designs for nonlinear models, but couldn't support application to many models due to the assumptions. In this chapter, we propose a tool called Ancillary Functions for these models so that the previously violated assumptions are validated. We also provide results on minimally supported designs with proper condition. This tool is demonstrated with three two-parameter dose-response models. The results of this paper add to the previous complete class framework and make the minimally supported design available for more nonlinear models that were previously not feasible.

description: This case is presented because it 1) demonstrates the importance of being thorough while conducting a lameness and/or breeding soundness examination of a bull, 2) is an example of one bull that in spite of an extemely poor prognosis for fertility has since sired more than twenty-five calves, and 3) is an example of a bull that responded favorably to unconventional and radical treatment. Although not used routinely, selected radiographic and ultrasonographic examination of the scrotal contents can aid in the diagnosis of some infertile bulls.

description: Cation disorder is an important design criterion for technologically relevant transition-metal (TM) oxides, such as radiation-tolerant ceramics and Li-ion battery electrodes. In this letter, we use a combination of first-principles calculations, normal mode analysis, and band-structure arguments to pinpoint a specific electronic-structure effect that influences the stability of disordered phases. We find that the electronic configuration of a TM ion determines to which extent the structural energy is affected by site distortions. This mechanism explains the stability of disordered phases with large ionic radius differences and provides a concrete guideline for the discovery of novel disordered compositions.

Follicular development, superovulation and artificial insemination in embryo donor cattle

description: Although significant advances have been made in embryo transplant technology, embryo transplant units still have to cope on a daily basis with persisting hurdles. One of these problems relates to superovulation methodology that results in consistent ova production within and across donor cows. Although research publications on the subject date back over 30 years, this problem remains as an annual topic of discussion at the professional and embryo transfer society meetings. It has now become painfully clear that our basic knowledge of primordial follicle activation, follicle recruitment, follicle receptor site interactions, endocrine involvement in follicular development and follicular growth dynamics is less than adequate. There is a need for research to develop workable physiological models so that we can better understand follicular growth and development. A second problem relates to the artificial insemination (AI) of donor females to produce optimal fertilization rates across embryo collections. With thousands of donor cows superovulated and inseminated in the world over three years, it would seem that this problem should have been resolved by now, but unfortunately variability in fertilization rates and low viable embryo recovery still exists. These results suggest that basic research is also needed on oocyte maturation and fertilization before additional progress can be made in this area. It now appears that research efforts should focus on developing and understanding of how these physiological events occur in situ rather than conducting repetitive field trials hoping to uncover optimal superovulation and insemination schedules for donors in commericial embryo transplantation programs. It is agreed that this type of physiology research is often difficult, time consuming and costly. It has now become evident that a renewed effort is needed in basic research before further progress is made in harvesting the optimal number of transferable quality embryos from each donor female.
