description: We model the behavior of a big (Brazil) nut in a medium of smaller nuts with a stochastic asymmetric simple exclusion dynamics of a polymer-monomer lattice system. The polymer or `rod' can move up or down in an external negative field, occupying N horizontal lattice sites where the monomers cannot enter. The monomers (at most one per site) or `fluid particles' are moving symmetrically in the horizontal plane and asymmetrically in the vertical direction, also with a negative field. For a fixed position of the rod, this lattice fluid is in equilibrium with a vertical height profile reversible for the monomers' motion. Upon `shaking' (speeding up the monomers) the motion of the `rod' dynamically decouples from that of the monomers resulting in a reversible random walk for the rod around an average height proportional to log N.

description: Am I really sure? This is a question not only scientists ask themselves but practically everybody every day. A recent study provides behavioral evidence supporting the view that one’s subjective confidence in a decision (i.e., feeling sure that a decision is correct) is represented in a task-independent format. Previous neuroimaging studies identified neural correlates of decision confidence but whether or not these are task-dependent remains unclear. Here, combining two perceptual decision tasks with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we provide neural evidence for a task-independent representation of degrees of subjective certainty (i.e., a neural representation of subjective certainty that remains constant across two visual tasks). Importantly, due to the constant stimulus-intensity used this result is independent of task-difficulty and stimulus properties. Our data provide strong evidence for a generic mechanism underlying the computation of subjective perceptual certainty in vision.

Attributional Influences in the Social Worker's Assessment of the Client's Problem
Creators: McDonell, James Roland
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1988
Subjects: Social service

description: Social work practice theory has long been concerned with the issues of cause and responsibility inherent in efforts to define the unit of attention. This concern has focused, in part, on the potential for bias in the determination of causality, generally expressed in terms of a person-environment dichotomy. The present emphasis on an eco-systems framework for assessment in practice is viewed as an effort to respond to the debate which has resulted. These concerns of social work have been paralleled in attribution theory and it is suggested that this body of work provides an appropriate framework for an examination of the potential for causal and responsibility bias in the process of social work assessment.

The present study employed a single factor completely randomized design to investigate the influence which information presented by the client with respect to the cause of and responsibility for the problem of marital separation would have on the social worker's (a) attributions of cause and responsibility for the client's problem, (b) evaluation of the potential efficacy of social work intervention (c) attraction to the client, and (d) belief in the veridicality of the client's statements. 77 experimental subjects were randomly assigned to one of four treatment conditions, with each condition representing one of four levels of a model of attributed responsibility. These are: (a) causal responsibility, (b) knowledge responsibility, (c) intention responsibility, and (d) coercive responsibility. The independent variable was manipulated through client statements in audiotaped interview analogues, and subjects were misled into believing that they were listening to an actual interview. Data analysis provided support for the hypothesis that the four treatment groups would significantly differ on the level of responsibility which subjects attributed to the client for the problem presented, indicating that worker's are differentially influenced by client information regarding the responsibility inherent in the problem which leads the client to seek help. It was also found that the treatment groups were differentiated on the basis of evaluations of the potential efficacy of social work intervention, indicating that the influence of attributional information presented by the client led subject's to differential conclusions about the potential for a successful treatment outcome.

description: On the lattice we study the gauge boson propagator of three dimensional compact QED in Landau gauge at zero and non-zero temperature. The non-perturbative effects are taken into account by the generation of a mass, by an anomalous dimension and by the photon wave function renormalization. All these effects can be attributed to the monopoles: they are absent in the propagator of the singularity-free part of the gauge field. We assess carefully the Gribov copy problem for the propagator and the parameters emerging from the fits.

description: Against the background of the alleged democratic deficit of EU institutions, this case study explores how politicization and emerging transnational public spaces in European protest movements innovate existing practices of discursive or grassroots deliberative democracy in national social movements. I studied the European Social Forum (ESF) process, a transnational participatory democracy platform created by civil society groups and social movement organizations. I explored discourse and decision-making in the small-scale European Assemblies in which hundreds of activists have met six times a year since 2002 to organize the ESFs, and form campaigns on issues such as global and social justice, peace, climate change, migration, health, or education. Comparing activists’ democratic norms and discourse practices in these frequently occurring European Assemblies with social forum assemblies at the national level in Germany, Italy and the UK, I arrived at a surprising result: European Assemblies reflect a higher degree of discursive inclusivity, dialogue and transparency in decision-making and discussion compared to national social forum assemblies. In this paper I discuss structural, strategic and cultural changes that occur in the process of a Europeanization “from below”, that is, when social movement activists work together transnationally across a certain time period. I argue that European protest as a form of contentious Europeanization has developed new social practices and actors that innovate existing practices of participatory democracy at the national level, showing the relevance of social movements to democratize European integration.

Audiovisual Integration in Apraxia of Speech: EEG Evidence for Processing Differences

description: Speech perception is a unique audiovisual experience in part because timing of the speech signal is influenced by simultaneous overlapping gestures in coarticulation. Apraxia of speech (AOS) is a motor planning disorder that impairs coarticulation. Imaging studies show that brain regions damaged in AOS are critical to audiovisual speech perception. Although AOS is a motor planning disorder, individuals with AOS may have a disruption to the perceptual system for speech gestures. To evaluate this hypothesis we investigated audiovisual mismatch negativity (MMN) brain responses in adults with damage to Broca’s area (n =5) compared to a healthy age-matched comparison group (n = 5). We utilized the McGurk effect, in which incongruent auditory and visual information alters perception. Participants viewed videos of a speaker articulating the syllable /ba/ (standard) for 80% trials and /ga/ (deviant) for 20% of the trials while the auditory stimulus /ba/ remained consistent throughout. Responses to this McGurk audiovisual condition were compared to an inverse McGurk audiovisual condition in which the visual stimulus remained constant while the auditory stimulus changed, and a visual-only condition without sound to control for evoked activity from changes to the visual stimulus.
      Incongruent McGurk deviants elicited an MMN over left hemisphere electrodes in the comparison group, while the AOS group exhibited a later, attention-based response, a P300. The AOS group similarly responded to inverse McGurk deviants, which do not require fusion of the percept, with a P300 response, indicating that auditory and visual aspects of the incongruent McGurk deviants were not integrated. In the visual-only control condition, the AOS group showed a left-lateralized MMN, suggesting greater influence of visual processing when confronted with conflicting multisensory information compared to the comparison group. Overall, the comparison group’s responses were indicative of early and automatic audiovisual integration of incongruent McGurk percepts while the responses of the AOS group showed contributions of both attentional and visual processing. The timing of the response in the AOS group was correlated with speech production characteristics of apraxia, as well as performance on taxing motor speech tasks. Results of this study support the hypothesis that AOS is a disorder beyond motor planning, with implications for higher-level linguistic and cognitive systems.

We report on the realization of a room-temperature $^{40}{\rm Ca}^{+}$ ion trapping vacuum apparatus with unprecedentedly low reaction rates of ions with a dominant vacuum contaminant: hydrogen. We present our trap assembly procedures and hydrogen pressure characterization by analysis of the CaH$^+$ molecule formation rate.

description: The political game in the European Union has changed. Nowadays, EU issues are politicized in the public mass arena and demand from the European leadership more than the traditional, thin top-down communication. Concerns about the European democratic deficit and the legitimacy of the EU have made it important to engage citizens in EU issues and actively win their support. Since citizens almost never have firsthand experience with EU issues, they are most likely to pick up political cues from media discourse. Several events have shown that many citizens have only recently discovered the implications of European integration. Apparently, much of the media discourse on EU issues emanating from unpoliticized consensual decision-making in interest-based arenas does not reach the citizens. By comparing the media discourse on the few EU issues in which citizens have become activated and engaged – either to challenge or to support European decision-making – with media discourse that has not engaged citizens, the mechanism can be unraveled that explains the conditions under which citizens most effectively become politically active regarding EU issues. It is expected that a discourse that is highly loaded with emotions is more likely to reach citizens’ hearts and minds, and thus lead to political action, than the usual technical and consensual manner of presenting European decision-making. Insights from collective action research and on media effect research are used to operationalize the key-concept “emotions”. Media discourse that generates sufficient arousal to attract the citizens’ attention and interest and that invokes the identity of an imagined community in relation to a sense of agency and injustice is most likely to mobilize European citizens, even on an EU issue.

description: Group-level differences in classroom language environments were analyzed to better understand implementation of best practices with learners with deafblindness (DB), and whether state certification practices, student characteristics or specialized training related to differences in adult language modeling. Participants came from four states with three distinct teacher certification policies. Data was collected from 15 teacher-student dyads through behavioral coding of videotaped language samples from classrooms, teacher surveys and Communication Matrix assessments. In our sample, teachers used verbal communication significantly more than additional classroom staff. Teachers in a state that required a severe/ profound certification used significantly higher rates of visual communication. These teachers were also the most likely to match their students’ expected receptive modalities. Classroom staff in a state with interveners used significantly more tactile communication with learners. Overall, teachers were more likely to match their students’ expected receptive modalities when the students had higher levels of communication. The students with DB were highly heterogeneous and there was no association between level of dual sensory loss and students’ expressive communication levels. Discussion focused on whether our current use of communication modalities are sufficient, or whether more diverse language modeling (i.e., augmented input) would be beneficial in classrooms with learners with DB. These quantitative results can empower teachers to advocate for the use of specific communication modalities, such as American Sign Language, and trained personnel, such as interveners, in their districts.

description: Introduction: Repetitive subconcussive head impacts in contact/collision sports such as in US football are believed to contribute to long-term brain changes and chronic symptoms. However, the lack of tools to measure the effects of repeated subconcussion limits our understanding of potential contributions to neuropathological alterations including cellular damage. Methods: We examined subconcussive head impacts using an accelerometer-embedded mouthguard on changes in blood levels of neurofilament light (NFL) chain in 18 Division I college football players. Plasma levels of NFL and clinical symptoms were assessed at pre-post practices. The frequency and linear and rotational head accelerations recorded via the mouthguard were examined in relation to NFL plasma changes. Results: The frequency and magnitude of head impacts associated with increased NFL levels. The greater numbers of hits and head accelerations associated with greater pre- to post-practice NFL level increases (p < 0.05). Greater pre- to post-practice increases in NFL also associated with greater pre- to post-practice increases in S100β (p < 0.001), but not with total tau. Years of football experience and concussion history did not associate with changes in NFL. Conclusion: Acute changes in NFL may be a clinically useful peripheral marker in tracking acute brain damage in collegiate football players, and other contact sports.

description: Different finite difference replacements for the derivative are analyzed in the context of the Heisenberg commutation relation. The type of the finite difference operator is shown to be tied to whether one can naturally consider $P$ and $X$ to be self-adjoint and skew self-adjoint or whether they have to be viewed as creation and annihilation operators. The first class, generalizing the central difference scheme, is shown to give unitary equivalent representations. For the second case we construct a large class of examples, generalizing previously known difference operator realizations of $[P,X]=Id$.

description: β-Cyclodextrin modified magnetic microspheres were synthesized and used as an effective adsorbent for the solid-phase extraction of three phenols from water samples. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry were used to characterize the adsorbents. The major parameters affecting the extraction and desorption efficiencies, such as adsorbent dosage, extraction time, pH, ionic strength, and eluent type were systematically optimized. Under these conditions, three phenols in water samples were extracted and determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detection (DAD). Limits of detection (LODs) of 0.04–0.34 ng mL−1 and limits of quantification (LOQs) from 0.13 to 1.14 ng mL−1 were achieved with good repeatability (relative standard deviation <7.5%). The developed method was applied for the determination of 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol and bisphenol A in spiked Yangtze River water, and the recoveries were from 81.0% to 94.9%. The results demonstrated that the combination of magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) with HPLC-DAD is suitable for the determination of trace phenolics in environmental water.

description: For many automated driving functions, a highly accurate perception of the vehicle environment is a crucial prerequisite. Modern high-resolution radar sensors generate multiple radar targets per object, which makes these sensors particularly suitable for the 2D object detection task. This work presents an approach to detect 2D objects solely depending on sparse radar data using PointNets. In literature, only methods are presented so far which perform either object classification or bounding box estimation for objects. In contrast, this method facilitates a classification together with a bounding box estimation of objects using a single radar sensor. To this end, PointNets are adjusted for radar data performing 2D object classification with segmentation, and 2D bounding box regression in order to estimate an amodal 2D bounding box. The algorithm is evaluated using an automatically created dataset which consist of various realistic driving maneuvers. The results show the great potential of object detection in high-resolution radar data using PointNets.

description: Acoustic data provide scientific and engineering insights in fields ranging from biology and communications to ocean and Earth science. We survey the recent advances and transformative potential of machine learning (ML), including deep learning, in the field of acoustics. ML is a broad family of techniques, which are often based in statistics, for automatically detecting and utilizing patterns in data. Relative to conventional acoustics and signal processing, ML is data-driven. Given sufficient training data, ML can discover complex relationships between features and desired labels or actions, or between features themselves. With large volumes of training data, ML can discover models describing complex acoustic phenomena such as human speech and reverberation. ML in acoustics is rapidly developing with compelling results and significant future promise. We first introduce ML, then highlight ML developments in four acoustics research areas: source localization in speech processing, source localization in ocean acoustics, bioacoustics, and environmental sounds in everyday scenes.

description: An ecological study of the troglobitic cirolanid isopod, Antrolana lira Bowman, was begun in August 1979 and continued through September 1980. The isopod is restricted to two phreatic lakes in Madisons Saltpetre Cave and one phreatic lake in nearby Stegers Fissure, Augusta Co., Virginia.

All three phreatic lakes were scuba dived and surveyed. No direct connections were found between the lakes. However, physical similarities suggest that the lakes are made up of the same body of phreatic water.

Random samples were taken monthly and seasonally from the east lake in Madisons Saltpetre Cave and the lake in Stegers Fissure. Specimens could be readily sexed at ≥9.7 mm. Individuals <9 mm were designated as juveniles. No ovigerous females were collected. No definitive reproductive cycle could be>established.

The population of A. lira is small. The combined size range of specimens was 3.5 mm to 21 mm. The population age structure is skewed toward adults. Fissure specimens tended to be larger than were pool, specimens. Juveniles were present throughout the year. Females always outnumbered males. Males reach a maximum size of approximately 16 mm, and females a maximum size of 21 mm. The population is believed to be stable.

Scavenging is probably the primary means of food getting for A. lira. Gut contents tend to support this observation.

description: The deformation and fracture behaviour of one-atom-thick mechanically exfoliated graphene has been studied in detail. Monolayer graphene flakes with different lengths, widths and shapes were successfully prepared by mechanical exfoliation and deposited onto poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) beams. The fracture behaviour of the monolayer graphene was followed by deforming the PMMA beams. Through in-situ Raman mapping at different strain levels, the distributions of strain over the graphene flakes were determined from the shift of the graphene Raman 2D band. The failure mechanisms of the exfoliated graphene were either by flake fracture or failure of the graphene/polymer interface. The fracture of the flakes was observed from the formation of cracks identified from the appearance of lines of zero strain in the strain contour maps. It was found that the strength of the monolayer graphene flakes decreased with increasing flake width. The strength dropped to less than 10 GPa for large flakes, much lower than the reported value of 130 GPa for monolayer graphene, thought to be due to the presence of defects. It is shown that a pair of topological defects in monolayer graphene will form a pseudo crack and the effect of such defects upon the strength of monolayer graphene has been modelled using molecular mechanical simulations.

Auger effect

description: The radiationless recombination of electron-hole pairs in semiconductors is inherently detrimental to the operation of optoelectronic technologies. Auger recombination, a prominent many-body scattering mechanism, facilitates efficient non-radiative recombination by transferring the released energy and momentum to a third carrier. In this thesis, ultrafast time-resolved two-photon photoemission is used to investigate the action of carriers subject to Auger scattering in two III-V semiconductor material systems, InGaN quantum well light-emitting diodes and bulk GaSb. In InGaN quantum wells, Auger recombination is believed to limit the radiative quantum efficiency at high carrier injection currents. Chapter 3 reports the direct observation of carrier loss from a single InGaN quantum well due to Auger recombination on the picosecond timescale. Selective excitations of the different valence sub-bands reveal that the Auger rate constant decreases by two orders of magnitude as the effective band mass decreases, confirming the critical role of momentum conservation in the Auger process. In Chapter 4, photoemission is used to directly detect Auger electrons as they scatter into high energy and momentum states of the GaSb conduction band. The Auger rate in GaSb is observed to be modulated by a coherent phonon mode at 2 THz, confirming phonon participation in momentum conservation. The commonly assumed Auger rate constant is also found to vary significantly, decreasing by four orders of magnitude as hot electrons cool by ~90 meV. These findings provide quantitative guidance in understanding Auger recombination and in designing a broader range of materials for efficient optoelectronics.

description: The German architect August Endell (1871-1925) is best known for his idiosyncratic buildings and interiors. As the first monographic study on his work in English, this dissertation uncovers the little-known design philosophy behind his works, and elucidates the intellectual origins and career of his important theory of experiential form. Endell was a polymath versed in scientific philosophy, empirical psychology, musicology and architecture. A man of extraordinary intellectual range, he saw his architectural practice as a laboratory for conducting experiments in psychology. In particular, his buildings explored architectural forms patterned on the workings of the human brain, as understood in late nineteenth century Germany. Previous studies of Endell generally have tried to situate him within one of the major German schools of thought in psychology, alternatively as a proponent of abstraction or empathy. Through detailed analyses of his built works and written texts, this dissertation argues that Endell was in fact attempting a reconciliation between abstraction and empathy, through what I have interpreted as experiential forms, namely forms drawn from collective memories, feelings, and ethical relations. Endell was an activist for architectural design driven by a "science" of consciousness, and he was convinced that built experiential forms could serve an important unifying social function, counteracting processes of social disaggregation he believed was taking place in pre-World War I Germany. Endell was discredited and ignored for much of the twentieth century, perhaps because his claims about the influence of architecture in the functioning of the human brain and sensorium, in the absence of scientific proof, seemed condemned to remain hypothetical. To re-examine his work today, when neuroscience is giving us an entirely new picture of the brain, is to recover an important chapter in the pre-history of attempts to adequate our built environment to our human condition.

description: We postulate that consciousness is intrinsically connected to quantum spin since the latter is the origin of quantum effects in both Bohm and Hestenes quantum formulisms and a fundamental quantum process associated with the structure of space-time. Applying these ideas to the particular structures and dynamics of the brain, we have developed a detailed model of quantum consciousness. We have also carried out experiments from the perspective of our theory to test the possibility of quantum-entangling the quantum entities inside the brain with those of an external chemical substance. We found that applying magnetic pulses to the brain when an anaesthetic was placed in between caused the brain to feel the effect of said anaesthetic as if the test subject had actually inhaled the same. We further found that drinking water exposed to magnetic pulses, laser light or microwave when an anaesthetic was placed in between also causes brain effects in various degrees. Additional experiments indicate that the said brain effect is indeed the consequence of quantum entanglement. Recently we have studied non-local effects in simple physics systems. We have found that the pH value, temperature and gravity of a liquid in the detecting reservoirs can be non-locally affected through manipulating another liquid in a remote reservoir quantum-entangled with the former. In particular, the pH value changes in the same direction as that being manipulated; the temperature can change against that of local environment; and the gravity can change against local gravity. We suggest that they are mediated by quantum entanglement between nuclear and/or electron spins in treated liquid and discuss the profound implications of these results. This paper now also includes materials on further development of the theory and related topics.

Aural Literacy: Rhetorical Community and Shared Sayings in Late Medieval England

description: This dissertation analyzes aural literacy, or learning by hearing, in late medieval English literary works by Geoffrey Chaucer, Thomas Usk, and Margery Kempe. Aural literacy enabled late medieval people to engage with the literate tradition by adopting short, formulaic phrases such as proverbs, parables, and sermon stories. These phrases, or shared sayings, became part of a common hoard of aural resources widely available to many due to the late medieval practice of reading texts aloud. Shared sayings' conventional uses joined their speakers together into rhetorical communities, or groups of people with similar ideas as to how these sayings functioned in the world. Rhetorical communities offered a platform for contested and divergent ways of speaking that threatened these conventional uses, as late medieval speakers turned shared sayings to their own purposes, provoking angry resistance in their attempts to change their positions within their societies.

description: Social epigenomics is an emerging field in which social scientist collaborate with computational biologists, especially epigeneticists, to address the underlying pathway for biological embedding of life experiences. This social epigenomics study included long-term childhood cancer survivors enrolled in the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort. DNA methylation (DNAm) data were generated using the Illumina EPIC BeadChip, and three social determinants of health (SDOH) factors were assessed: self-reported educational attainment, personal income, and an area deprivation index based on census track data. An epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) was performed to evaluate the relation between DNAm at each 5’-cytosine-phosphate-guanine-3’ (CpG) site and each SDOH factor based on multivariable linear regression models stratified by ancestry (European ancestry, n = 1,618; African ancestry, n = 258). EWAS among survivors of European ancestry identified 130 epigenome-wide significant SDOH–CpG associations (P < 9 × 10−8), 25 of which were validated in survivors of African ancestry (P < 0.05). Thirteen CpGs were associated with all three SDOH factors and resided at pleiotropic loci in cigarette smoking–related genes (e.g., CLDND1 and CPOX). After accounting for smoking and body mass index, these associations remained significant with attenuated effect sizes. Seven of 13 CpGs were associated with gene expression level based on 57 subsamples with blood RNA sequencing data available. In conclusion, DNAm signatures, many resembling the effect of tobacco use, were associated with SDOH factors among survivors of childhood cancer, thereby suggesting that biologically distal SDOH factors influence health behaviours or related factors, the epigenome, and subsequently survivors’ health.
