Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: This paper presents Prut4j: a tool to simplify unit testing of channel/queue-based communication protocols in concurrent Java programs. Prut4j offers two domain-specific languages to write, compile (to Java), and execute (with JUnit) high-level "protocol modules" and accompanying unit tests. Our first evaluation provides evidence for Prut4j’s expressiveness (network topologies, games, scientific kernels) and efficiency (Prut4j-based programs perform well in a third-party benchmark).

Environmental Economics and Policy

description: Both policy reform and environmental quality portend to be major agricultural issues in this decade. We develop a stylized general equilibrium model of the United States economy to empirically study whether success in addressing the former issue is consistent with the achievement of the latter. Policy experiments show that the level of agricultural surface water damages are indeed quite sensitive to policy reform--providing the greatest environmental benefits when land and fertilizers are highly substitutable. These results suggest that policy reform may in the long run provide an inexpensive partial answer to the environmental problem associated with agricultural production.

description: The effect of group and individual physical training programs on mood was studied. One hundred and twelve treatment subjects participated in a ten-week program of either group or individual exercise. Thirty-eight control subjects remained sedentary throughout the ten-week treatment period. The Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire was used to collect data on the mood states tension, depression, anger, vigor, fatigue, and confusion from exercise treatment and control subjects. Physiological data including weight, Max VO2, percentage of body fat, and flexibility were collected from the exercise treatment subjects through administration of the YMCA Physical Fitness Test Battery (modified). Statistical analysis revealed that exercise treatment subjects experienced significant improvements in Max VO2, percentage of body fat, and flexibility ($p <$.05). Group exercisers experienced a significant improvement in body weight ($p <$.05) while individual exercisers did not. The results revealed that both the individual exercise treatment and the group exercise treatment were equally effective in bringing about physiological change. ANOVA conducted on data collected from the exercise treatment subjects showed highly significant improvements in mood resulting from participation in the ten-week physical training program ($p <$.02). Control subjects did not improve in mood with the exception of anger. No significant differences were observed in the degree of mood change between the individual exercisers and the group exercisers. Significant immediate pre-exercise to immediate post-exercise mood improvements were observed in both exercise treatment groups ($p <$.05). Data analysis demonstrated that immediate mood changes are independent of exercise format for the mood states tension and depression. ANCOVA revealed that the group exercisers experienced significantly better levels of vigor and fatigue than did the individual exercisers as the physical training program continued ($F <$.04). Multiple regression demonstrated that final mood scores are best predicted by initial mood scores. ANCOVA revealed that mood improvements experienced during the ten-week physical training program were independent of change in the physiological indices studied. Although it was shown that immediate and longer-term mood changes can be brought about by participation in a well-rounded ten-week physical training program, the specific mechanisms responsible for these changes are still unclear.

description: Using exact numerical diagonalization and the conformal field theory approach, we study the effect of magnetic frustrations due to diagonal exchange bonds in a system of two coupled mixed-spin $(1,{1/2})$ Heisenberg chains. It is established that relatively moderate frustrations are able to destroy the ferrimagnetic state and to stabilize the critical spin-liquid phase typical for half-integer-spin antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains. Both phases are separated by a narrow but finite region occupied by a critical partially-polarized ferromagnetic phase.

description: The study of the solar energetic particle events (SEPs) and their association with solar flares and other activities are very crucial to understand the space weather. Keeping this in view, in this paper, we present the study of the SEPs (intensity equal to or greater than 10 pfu) during the solar cycle 21 to 24 (1976-2017) in > 10 MeV energy channels associated with solar flares. For our analysis, we have used the data from different instruments onboard SOHO satellite. We have examined the flare size, source location, CMEs characteristics of associated SEPs. About 31% and 69% of the SEPs were originated from the eastern and western solar hemisphere respectively. The average CME speed and width were 1238 km/s and 253 deg respectively. About 58 % SEPs were associated with halo CMEs and 42% of SEPs associated with CMEs width varying from 10 deg to 250 deg respectively.

description: Graduate students are often thought of as mature researchers capable of figuring things out on their own, but they face special challenges in developing as novice scholars. This study adopts the lens of socialization and uses semi-structured interviews with dissertating graduate students in the humanities and social sciences at a large public research university to investigate how they understand their own practices of skills development, information seeking, networking, and forging a professional identity. It finds that students face considerable ambiguity in terms of expectations for the dissertation and whom they can go to for help, and that many needs are not being met by their home departments. The existence of these unmet needs and variability in where students get help imply that there is a space for librarians to become a part of the developmental support networks of even advanced graduate students.

description: Automated end-to-end (E2E) Web testing relying on frameworks such as Selenium Web Driver is commonly used to assess the quality of web applications. However, the resulting test scripts may require long execution times, due to their interaction with the browser GUI and backend services. To avoid repeated and costly setup of the Web application state, testers tend to build test suites whose test scripts depend on each other (i.e., one test case sets up the application state expected by another test case). In this paper we present STILE, a tool for the parallel execution of Web test scripts that ensures the compliance of all execution schedules with the dependencies among the involved test scripts, while at the same time minimizing the execution time and the computation time required for such parallel execution. Experimental results show that execution times can be approximately halved thanks to STILE.

description: Donald Comer became a leader in the cotton manufacturing industry in the 1920s. That decade and the next were a time when both the New South ideology and labor-management relations underwent change. Those years were also watershed years in terms of changes in the political scene. During those years Progressivism changed and the New Deal arrived. As the son of Alabama Governor B. B. Comer, and as the leader of both Avondale Mills and Cowikee Mills, Donald was poised to act on those changes and to help shape both the economic and political side of life in the South. The Barbour County native acted to promote traditional New South goals of industrialism and diversified farming. The prominent Alabama cotton manufacturer also acted as a Progressive and as a New Deal advocate. The interaction of Comer with both the New South philosophy of economic development and the political reforms of both Progressivism and the New Deal are explored. Both the extent of his acceptance and the limits to his belief in both economic and political reform are examined. Specific points investigated include New South issues such as industrialization and diversified farming, Progressive reforms such as education, the use of child labor, night work of women and children, the development of the Tennessee Valley, and Prohibition; New Deal issues of relief and recovery, particularly rural relief, the ending of tenant farming, and the limiting of cotton acreage, and government intervention in the economy and in labor relations.

description: The monster sporadic group is the automorphism group of a central charge $c=24$ vertex operator algebra (VOA) or meromorphic conformal field theory (CFT). In addition to its $c=24$ stress tensor $T(z)$, this theory contains many other conformal vectors of smaller central charge; for example, it admits $48$ commuting $c=\frac12$ conformal vectors whose sum is $T(z)$. Such decompositions of the stress tensor allow one to construct new CFTs from the monster CFT in a manner analogous to the Goddard-Kent-Olive (GKO) coset method for affine Lie algebras. We use this procedure to produce evidence for the existence of a number of CFTs with sporadic symmetry groups and employ a variety of techniques, including Hecke operators, modular linear differential equations, and Rademacher sums, to compute the characters of these CFTs. Our examples include (extensions of) nine of the sporadic groups appearing as subquotients of the monster, as well as the simple groups ${}^2{E}_6(2)$ and ${F}_4(2)$ of Lie type. Many of these examples are naturally associated to McKay's $\widehat{E_8}$ correspondence, and we use the structure of Norton's monstralizer pairs more generally to organize our presentation.

In order to investigate the phase effect of SU(3) lattice QCD (2-flavors), we calculated the fluctuation of the phase of $\detΔ(μ)$ on a $8^3\times4$ lattice at $μ= 0.1$ and 0.2. Then we calculated the chiral condensate and Polyakov line in the no phase and reweighted cases. There is little difference between these two cases at $μ= 0.1$ and 0.2. We consider a possible reason for this result below $μ\le 0.27$ in terms of $Z_3$ symmetry.

description: If dark matter has strong self-interactions, future astrophysical and cosmological observations, together with a clearer understanding of baryonic feedback effects, might be used to extract the velocity dependence of the dark matter scattering rate. To interpret such data, we should understand what predictions for this quantity are made by various models of the underlying particle nature of dark matter. In this paper, we systematically compute this function for fermionic dark matter with light bosonic mediators of vector, scalar, axial vector, and pseudoscalar type. We do this by matching to the nonrelativistic effective theory of self-interacting dark matter and then computing the spin-averaged viscosity cross section nonperturbatively by solving the Schrodinger equation, thus accounting for any possible Sommerfeld enhancement of the low-velocity cross section. In the pseudoscalar case, this requires a coupled-channel analysis of different angular momentum modes. We find, contrary to some earlier analyses, that nonrelativistic effects only provide a significant enhancement for the cases of light scalar and vector mediators. Scattering from light pseudoscalar and axial vector mediators is well described by tree-level quantum field theory.

For a>-1/2, we are able to reproduce open string scattering amplitudes in the theory fixed in the Siegel gauge. At a=-1/2, all scattering amplitudes vanish and there is no open string excitation in the gauge fixed theory. These results support the conjecture that the universal solution can be regarded as pure gauge or the tachyon vacuum solution.

John Page of Rosewell: Reason, religion, and republican government from the perspective of a Virginia planter, 1743-1808
Creators: name: McCord, Jr., T. B.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: To Page, American independence meant republican government. His political thought derived from a mixture of forces: Whig ideology, Christian theology, Enlightenment philosophy, personal experience, family heritage, and the planter society in which he lived. Unlike most gentry, Page envisioned a time when the Republic would approach a Christian utopia. The central component of his ideal republic was virtue. Although supporting disestablishment of the Anglican church, he favored a general tax for Christian clergymen. In the latitudinarian tradition, Page attempted theological reform, hoping to unite the "rational" sects. Recoiling at religious "enthusiasm," he sought a Christian consensus, just as he sought a political one--free from factionalism and party spirit. As the only active patriot among Virginia's Royal councillors, Page played a unique role in the forefront of the Revolution. He was a wartime executive, a fixture in eight years. Later, he was elected governor. As a Federalist ally of James Madison in the First Congress, Page played an important role in early legislative decisions. But quick to turn against the Hamiltonian Federalists, Page represented a vocal minority that found the seeds of corruption and eventually conspiracy in almost any effort to strengthen the central government. Voicing the same revolutionary rhetoric throughout life, he never retreated from his view that Christian virtue was essential if America was to achieve its republican and religious mission for the benefit of all mankind. Page was a transitional republican. He provided continuity between the monarchy and the new state government. He was a radical revolutionary, but not an educational and religious reformer as Jefferson and Madison. Wishing to improve America's image within the international scientific community, he stressed university education, not the public primary levels. He embraced the spirit of enlightened science and rational inquiry, yet, he thought it impious to probe the nature of God. Abhorring a titled nobility, he accepted a ranked society. Never fully understanding pluralism, he hoped that the republican environment would allow Christian truth to prevail. He opposed slavery, but was trapped by it, economically and politically.

description: Developing highly qualitative software systems is important but at the same time difficult to be achieved due to a constant increase in size and complexity of the systems. Early detection of software defects becomes a must, various methods being researched. The Software Defects Rules Discovery (SDRD) approach aims to address the generation of rules for software defects. The model is based on code metric values and uses the ant colony system algorithm to discover the best solution. Performed experiments considered one theoretical example and two open-source projects with various setups, in total 22 different configurations were investigated. The obtained results indicated that from the set of considered metrics the ones that provide the best rules are: CBO (Coupling Between Objects), LOC (Lines Of Code), and NPM (Number of Private Methods).

description: The time evolution in quantum many-body systems after external excitations is attracting high interest in many fields. The theoretical modeling of these processes is challenging, and the only rigorous quantum-dynamics approach that can treat correlated fermions in two and three dimensions is nonequilibrium Green functions (NEGF). However, NEGF simulations are computationally expensive due to their $T^3$-scaling with the simulation duration $T$. Recently, $T^2$-scaling was achieved with the generalized Kadanoff--Baym ansatz (GKBA), for the second-order Born (SOA) selfenergy, which has substantially extended the scope of NEGF simulations. In a recent Letter [Schlünzen \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{124}, 076601 (2020)] we demonstrated that GKBA-NEGF simulations can be efficiently mapped onto coupled time-local equations for the single-particle and two-particle Green functions on the time diagonal, hence the method has been called G1--G2 scheme. This allows one to perform the same simulations with order $T^1$-scaling, both for SOA and $GW$ selfenergies giving rise to a dramatic speedup. Here we present more details on the G1--G2 scheme, including derivations of the basic equations including results for a general basis, for Hubbard systems and for jellium. Also, we demonstrate how to incorporate initial correlations into the G1--G2 scheme. Further, the derivations are extended to a broader class of selfenergies, including the $T$ matrix in the particle--particle and particle--hole channels, and the dynamically screened-ladder approximation. Finally, we demonstrate that, for all selfenergies, the CPU time scaling of the G1--G2 scheme with the basis dimension, $N_b$, can be improved compared to our first report: the overhead compared to the original GKBA, is not more than an additional factor $N_b$.

description: IRAC imaging of a 4'7x4'7 area in the Lockman Hole detected over 400 galaxies in the IRAC 3.6 micron and 4.5 micron bands, 120 in the 5.8 micron, and 80 in the 8 micron bandin 30 minutes of observing time. Color-color diagrams suggest that about half of these galaxies are at redshifts 0.61.3). We also detect IRAC counterparts for 6 of the 7 SCUBA sources and all 9 XMM sources in this area. The detection of the counterparts of the SCUBA sources and galaxies at z>1.3 demonstrates the ability of IRAC to probe the universe at very high redshifts.

description: To Page, American independence meant republican government. His political thought derived from a mixture of forces: Whig ideology, Christian theology, Enlightenment philosophy, personal experience, family heritage, and the planter society in which he lived. Unlike most gentry, Page envisioned a time when the Republic would approach a Christian utopia. The central component of his ideal republic was virtue. Although supporting disestablishment of the Anglican church, he favored a general tax for Christian clergymen. In the latitudinarian tradition, Page attempted theological reform, hoping to unite the "rational" sects. Recoiling at religious "enthusiasm," he sought a Christian consensus, just as he sought a political one--free from factionalism and party spirit. As the only active patriot among Virginia's Royal councillors, Page played a unique role in the forefront of the Revolution. He was a wartime executive, a fixture in eight years. Later, he was elected governor. As a Federalist ally of James Madison in the First Congress, Page played an important role in early legislative decisions. But quick to turn against the Hamiltonian Federalists, Page represented a vocal minority that found the seeds of corruption and eventually conspiracy in almost any effort to strengthen the central government. Voicing the same revolutionary rhetoric throughout life, he never retreated from his view that Christian virtue was essential if America was to achieve its republican and religious mission for the benefit of all mankind. Page was a transitional republican. He provided continuity between the monarchy and the new state government. He was a radical revolutionary, but not an educational and religious reformer as Jefferson and Madison. Wishing to improve America's image within the international scientific community, he stressed university education, not the public primary levels. He embraced the spirit of enlightened science and rational inquiry, yet, he thought it impious to probe the nature of God. Abhorring a titled nobility, he accepted a ranked society. Never fully understanding pluralism, he hoped that the republican environment would allow Christian truth to prevail. He opposed slavery, but was trapped by it, economically and politically.

description: In this work, we study the critical behavior of an epidemic propagation model that considers individuals that can develop drug resistance. In our lattice model, each site can be found in one of four states: empty, healthy, normally infected (not drug resistant) and strain infected (drug resistant) states. The most relevant parameters in our model are related to the mortality, cure and mutation rates. This model presents two distinct stationary active phases: a phase with co-existing normal and drug resistant infected individuals and an intermediate active phase with only drug resistant individuals. We employ a finite-size scaling analysis to compute the critical points the critical exponents ratio $β/ν$ governing the phase-transitions between these active states and the absorbing inactive state. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that these transitions belong to the directed percolation universality class.
The global understanding of selected elementary education majors: A study of the effects of preservice education on knowledge, attitudes, and teacher practice
Creators: name: Scholz, Ann M.
Publisher: name: American University

description: This study employed a quasi-experimental, post-test only, control group design to investigate the effects of pre-service education on the global understanding of elementary education majors, and the attitudes and classroom practice of selected elementary teachers. The study required the use of two samples. The first consisted of senior elementary education majors. Forty-four in the experimental group were randomly selected from four institutions which have infused global education into their required curriculum and forty-eight in the control group from institutions which require no global education. The second sample was drawn from among graduates of the same institutions who are currently teaching in grades one through six. This convenience sample was divided into an experimental group of twenty-three and a control group of thirty-one. Their global understanding was assessed using Measures of Global Understanding distributed by the Educational Testing Service. Analysis using one-tailed t-tests at.05 alpha revealed no statistically significant differences between the scores of those in the experimental and control groups. It is not clear that the infusion of global education into the pre-service curriculum has any effect on participants' global understanding, but what is apparent is that these elementary education majors know little about international affairs. The researcher also sought to determine if the global content of the undergraduate program affected graduates' attitudes toward global education and its inclusion in their teaching. A comparison of the mean scores of the experimental and control groups on a researcher-designed measure of their opinions concerning the importance of including global education in elementary classrooms revealed important differences in attitudes. Those teachers who had studied global education as undergraduates felt more positively about including it in the curriculum. However, an examination of teachers' reports of their classroom practice uncovered no such difference in the behavior of the two groups. Finally, multiple regression analysis was used to determine the strength of the relationship between teachers' global understanding and their attitudes toward, and inclusion of, global education in their own teaching. Both global education attitudes and practice are positively correlated to global understanding.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We look for solutions in Einstein gravity corresponding to inflating braneworlds of arbitrary dimension and co-dimension. These solutions correspond to isolated sources (no long range fields). Using dynamical systems techniques, we show that there exists a unique solution corresponding to a black $p$-brane with a regular horizon at the location of the brane. The solution is {\it not} however asymptotically flat, but has global deficit angles.

description: To study the relationship between the properties of low-dimensional spin systems with weakly coupled Cu-triangles and their crystal structure, single crystals of $Cs_3Cu_3Cl_8OH$ (1) and the new $Cs_3Cu_3Cl_{7.6}Br_{0.4}OH$ (2) were grown. Both compounds are isostructural and crystallize in a monoclinic structure with space group $P2_1/c$. The magnetic susceptibility of (1) shows a maximum at $2.23 K$ and of (2) at $2.70 K$, which are attributed to antiferromagnetic phase transitions. Furthermore, the magnetization along the $b$-axis at $1.9 K$ for both compounds shows a spin-flop transition into a new antiferromagnetic phase. This transition occurs at $0.61 T$ for (1) and at $2.0 T$ for (2). The antiferromagnetic order can be suppressed by a magnetic field $B_{C1}= 1.1 T$ for (1) and $B_{C2}= 1.2 T$ for (2). First single crystal neutron diffraction measured on (1) at different temperatures reveals the magnetic signal on the top of the nuclear reflection at (-1 0 0). Its magnetic ordering temperature was found to be at $T_{N1}= 2.12(3) K$.

Supertube domain-walls and elimination of closed time-like curves in string theory
Creators: name: Drukker, Nadav

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We show that some novel physics of supertubes removes closed time-like curves from many supersymmetric spaces which naively suffer from this problem. The main claim is that supertubes naturally form domain-walls, so while analytical continuation of the metric would lead to closed time-like curves, across the domain-wall the metric is non-differentiable, and the closed time-like curves are eliminated. In the examples we study the metric inside the domain-wall is always of the Gödel type, while outside the shell it looks like a localized rotating object, often a rotating black hole. Thus this mechanism prevents the appearance of closed time-like curves behind the horizons of certain rotating black holes.

description: The interdiffusion of a solvent into a polymer melt has been studied using large scale molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation techniques. The solvent concentration profile and weight gain by the polymer have been measured as a function of time. The weight gain is found to scale as t^{1/2}, which is expected for Fickian type of diffusion. The concentration profiles are fit very well assuming Fick's second law with a constant diffusivity. The diffusivity found from fitting Fick's second law is found to be independent of time and equal to the self diffusion constant in the dilute solvent limit. We separately calculated the diffusivity as a function of concentration using the Darken equation and found that the diffusivity is essentially constant for the concentration range relevant for interdiffusion.

description: Developers have to thoroughly test their software in order to prevent software bugs. However, not all developers are keen on writing tests, which may lead to programs with poor quality or even to project failures. In order to motivate developers to write more tests, this paper introduces GAMEKINS, a plugin for the Jenkins continuous integration platform. GAMEKINS uses game elements such as challenges and achievements to incentivise the writing of more and better tests.
