description: A mixture of common skew-t factor analyzers model is introduced for model-based clustering of high-dimensional data. By assuming common component factor loadings, this model allows clustering to be performed in the presence of a large number of mixture components or when the number of dimensions is too large to be well-modelled by the mixtures of factor analyzers model or a variant thereof. Furthermore, assuming that the component densities follow a skew-t distribution allows robust clustering of skewed data. The alternating expectation-conditional maximization algorithm is employed for parameter estimation. We demonstrate excellent clustering performance when our model is applied to real and simulated data.This paper marks the first time that skewed common factors have been used.

description: In this work we study the simultaneous effect of primordial non-Gaussianity and the modification of the gravity in $f(R)$ framework on large scale structure observations. We show that non-Gaussianity and modified gravity introduce a scale dependent bias and growth rate functions. The deviation from $Λ$CDM in the case of primordial non-Gaussian models is in large scales, while the growth rate deviates from $Λ$CDM in small scales for modified gravity theories. We show that the redshift space distortion can be used to distinguish positive and negative $f_{NL}$ in standard background, while in $f(R)$ theories they are not easily distinguishable. The galaxy power spectrum is generally enhanced in presence of non-Gaussianity and modified gravity. We also obtain the scale dependence of this enhancement. Finally we define galaxy growth rate and galaxy growth rate bias as new observational parameters to constrain cosmology.

description: Observations of the outflows of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars continue to reveal their chemical and dynamical complexity. Spherical asymmetries, such as spirals and disks, are prevalent and thought to be caused by binary interaction with a (sub)stellar companion. Furthermore, high density outflows show evidence of dust-gas interactions. The classical chemical model of these outflows - a gas-phase only, spherically symmetric chemical kinetics model - is hence not appropriate for a majority of observed outflows. We have included several physical and chemical advancements step-by-step: a porous density distribution, dust-gas chemistry, and internal UV photons originating from a close-by stellar companion. Now, we combine these layers of complexity into the most chemically and physically advanced chemical kinetics model of AGB outflows to date. By varying over all model parameters, we obtain a holistic view of the outflow's composition and how it (inter)depends on the different complexities. A stellar companion has the largest influence, especially when combined with a porous outflow. We compile sets of gas-phase molecules that trace the importance of dust-gas chemistry and allow us to infer the presence of a companion and porosity of the outflow. This shows that our new chemical model can be used to infer physical and chemical properties of specific outflows, as long as a suitable range of molecules is observed.

description: We consider a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold M endowed with a right skew-circulant tensor structure S, which is an isometry with respect to the metric g and the fourth power of S is minus identity. We determine a class of manifolds (M, g, S), whose curvature tensors are invariant under S. For such manifolds we obtain properties of the Ricci tensor. Also we get expressions of the sectional curvatures of some special 2-planes in a tangent space of (M, g, S).

description: Recent advances and achievements of artificial intelligence (AI) as well as deep and graph learning models have established their usefulness in biomedical applications, especially in drug-drug interactions (DDIs). DDIs refer to a change in the effect of one drug to the presence of another drug in the human body, which plays an essential role in drug discovery and clinical research. DDIs prediction through traditional clinical trials and experiments is an expensive and time-consuming process. To correctly apply the advanced AI and deep learning, the developer and user meet various challenges such as the availability and encoding of data resources, and the design of computational methods. This review summarizes chemical structure based, network based, NLP based and hybrid methods, providing an updated and accessible guide to the broad researchers and development community with different domain knowledge. We introduce widely-used molecular representation and describe the theoretical frameworks of graph neural network models for representing molecular structures. We present the advantages and disadvantages of deep and graph learning methods by performing comparative experiments. We discuss the potential technical challenges and highlight future directions of deep and graph learning models for accelerating DDIs prediction.

Land price diffusion across borders – the case of Germany

description: Land market regulations are often justified by the assumption that activities of foreign and non-agricultural investors drive up prices in domestic land markets. However, empirical knowledge about the dynamics of agricultural land prices across borders is sparse. Using the German reunification as a natural experiment, we study the effect of the former inner German border on the dynamics of agricultural land prices in East and West Germany. We apply a land price diffusion model with an error correction specification to analyse spatial agricultural land markets. A novel feature of our model is its ability to distinguish price diffusion within states and across state borders. We provide evidence for a persistent border effect given that the fraction of spatially integrated counties is larger within states than across the former border. Moreover, we observe non-significant error correction terms for many counties along the former border. From a policy perspective, it is striking to realize that even 25 years after German reunification, pronounced land price differences persist. It is quite likely that price diffusion through existing borders within the EU would take even more time given language barriers, different institutional frameworks, and information asymmetries between domestic and foreign market participants.

description: In any dimension $N \geq 1$, for given mass $m > 0$ and for the $C^1$ energy functional \begin{equation*} I(u):=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|\nabla u|^2dx-\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}F(u)dx, \end{equation*} we revisit the classical problem of finding conditions on $F \in C^1(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})$ insuring that $I$ admits global minimizers on the mass constraint \begin{equation*} S_m:=\left\{u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N)~|~\|u\|^2_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^N)}=m\right\}. \end{equation*} Under assumptions that we believe to be nearly optimal, in particular without assuming that $F$ is even, any such global minimizer, called energy ground state, proves to have constant sign and to be radially symmetric monotone with respect to some point in $\mathbb{R}^N$. Moreover, we show that any energy ground state is a least action solution of the associated action functional. This last result answers positively, under general assumptions, a long standing issue.

description: We estimate the presently unknown constant in the 4-loop relation between the quark pole mass and the MSbar mass, by requiring stability of the perturbative prediction for E_tot(r)=2m_pole+V_QCD(r) in the intermediate-distance region. The estimate is fairly sharp due to a severe cancellation between 2m_pole and V_QCD(r). This would provide a test, based on general properties of the gauge theory, for the size of ultra-soft contributions to V_QCD(r).

description: With a goal toward deriving the physical conditions in external galaxies, we present a study of the ammonia (NH$_3$) emission and absorption in a sample of star forming systems. Using the unique sensitivities to kinetic temperature afforded by the excitation characteristics of several inversion transitions of NH$_3$, we have continued our characterization of the dense gas in star forming galaxies by measuring the kinetic temperature in a sample of 23 galaxies and one galaxy offset position selected for their high infrared luminosity. We derive kinetic temperatures toward 13 galaxies, 9 of which possess multiple kinetic temperature and/or velocity components. Eight of these galaxies exhibit kinetic temperatures $>100$ K, which are in many cases at least a factor of two larger than kinetic temperatures derived previously. Furthermore, the derived kinetic temperatures in our galaxy sample, which are in many cases at least a factor of two larger than derived dust temperatures, point to a problem with the common assumption that dust and gas kinetic temperatures are equivalent. As previously suggested, the use of dust emission at wavelengths greater than 160 $μ$m to derive dust temperatures, or dust heating from older stellar populations, may be skewing derived dust temperatures in these galaxies to lower values. We confirm the detection of high-excitation OH $^2Π_{3/2}$ J=9/2 absorption toward Arp220 (Ott et. al. 2011). We also report the first detections of non-metastable NH$_3$ inversion transitions toward external galaxies in the (2,1) (NGC253, NGC660, IC342, and IC860), (3,1), (3,2), (4,3), (5,4) (all in NGC660) and (10,9) (Arp220) transitions.

description: This paper examines how movement between and within communities was linked to the initial arrival and spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) infections into and through nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) counties. Drawing on data from governmental and non-governmental sources, the analysis reveals patterns of hierarchical diffusion, with COVID-19 infections quickly spreading to progressively smaller places during the first 3 months of 2020. COVID-19 arrived earlier in nonmetro counties with stronger migration ties to metro regions. Once present in a nonmetro county, the infection spread more quickly in those where populations were less able to limit day-to-day movements, and overall nonmetro counties were less able to limit day-to-day mobility compared to metro counties. From April through June 2020, counties where mobility remained high (similar to pre-pandemic levels) showed COVID-19 infection rates twice those of counties with greater reductions in day-to-day mobility. While infection rates increased across all nonmetro counties through summer 2020, the gap persisted between counties with reduced local mobility and those with high mobility. These findings suggest that in the absence of medical interventions (e.g., vaccines and treatment), limiting movement between and within places may slow the spread of highly contagious viruses, and certain types of places may be less able to implement these nonmedical tactics and may therefore be at greater risk in future pandemics. The analysis also suggests that more risk-prone communities may benefit from more robust testing programs.

description: Black holes are the elementary particles of gravity, the final state of sufficiently massive stars and of energetic collisions. With a forty-year long history, black hole physics is a fully-blossomed field which promises to embrace several branches of theoretical physics. Here I review the main developments in highly dynamical black holes with an emphasis on high energy black hole collisions and probes of particle physics via superradiance. This write-up, rather than being a collection of well known results, is intended to highlight open issues and the most intriguing results.

description: We show that there exist two types of universal phenomena for three-boson systems with isospin degrees of freedom. In the isospin symmetric limit, there is only one universal three-boson bound state with the total isospin one, whose binding energy is proportional to that of the two-boson bound state. With large isospin symmetry breaking, the standard Efimov states of three identical bosons appear at low energies. Both phenomena can be realized by three pions with the pion mass appropriately tuned in lattice QCD simulations, or by spin-one bosons in cold atom experiments. Implication to the in-medium softening of multi-pion states is also discussed.

description: Climate change is anticipated to lead to an increase in the occurrence and intensity of drought and fuctuations in insect cycles that will challenge modern pasture systems. Feeding by root aphids such as Aploneura lentisci Pass. can be a signifcant challenge to pastures. These below-ground living aphids are commonly found in New Zealand and Australia, feeding year-round on the roots of graminaceous plants such as perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Some strains of the fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae var. lolii in perennial ryegrass can provide protection against root aphids and greater resilience under drought, contributing to higher persistency and growth than endophyte-free plants. However, the interaction between insect pressure and drought is not understood. This study examined the efect of drought on root aphid populations and plant performance in perennial ryegrass plants relative to endophyte status (±) and endophyte strain (AR37, NZCT) in a glasshouse experiment. Plants were cloned across the drought and well-watered treatments, and half of the plants were inoculated with root aphids, whilst half of the plants were treated with insecticide. Endophyte infection with strain NZCT and AR37 reduced root aphid numbers. Aphid populations were signifcantly higher in drought-stressed than in well-watered plants in both endophyte-infected and endophyte-free treatments. Under drought conditions, root aphid populations were increased 4-fold in NZCT and 8-fold in AR37 and endophyte-free plants in comparison with their well-watered counterparts. Root aphids reduced shoot dry weight by 16% in drought-exposed and 26% in well-watered plants in comparison with their insecticidetreated counterparts whilst reducing root biomass by 49%. Our results suggest that root aphids are likely able to exploit the higher availability of amino acids in the plant sap of drought-exposed plants. This study provides evidence that climate change-mediated impacts of root aphids could reduce production in perennial ryegrass-dominant pastures. However, feld trials would be necessary to determine whether this efect is seen in situ, where numerous additional factors will be operating at the same time.

description: A classification of the electromagnetic modes on open and closed spatial domains containing media with piecewise homogeneous permittivities is used to facilitate the derivation of quantum induced Casimir stresses in dielectrics. By directly exploiting the complex analytic properties of solutions of the macroscopic Maxwell equations for open systems it is shown how regular expressions for such stresses can be expressed in terms of double integrals involving either real or pure imaginary frequencies associated with harmonic modes in conformity with the Lifshitz theory for separated planar dielectric half-spaces. The derivation is self-contained without recourse to the Krein formula for a density of states or mode regularization and offers a more direct approach to other open systems.

title: Evaluation of the EPA SWMM Model to Simulate Low Impact Development Features in an Urban Stormwater Environment
Creators: name: Carpenter, Holly Ann
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: This research thesis explores the use of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Stormwater Water Management Model (SWMM) to model an urban watershed with a developed stormwater management system and test the SWMM model's ability to simulate Low Impact Development (LID) features by proposing typical LID features that can be retrofitted to the developed study area. The SWMM model is established with an existing survey of the study area's stormwater management system, and due to the lack of field data for the study area, the model developed in this research thesis is calibrated with the consideration of a published stormwater model developed by a different stormwater modeling software. The development of other factors included in the SWMM model are from existing data available for the study area, or local or regional values when available. When site specific or regional data is not available for the study area, a Literature Review develops values to be implemented as a substitution to the measured values. Two alternatives, existing conditions and a proposal including LID features, are tested in the SWMM model for the study area. The results compare the difference in the simulated outputs for the two models in terms of changes in runoff, outflow from the system, and pollutant loading. Due to the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) limit established for the region of the study area, the pollutants of Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Nitrogen (TN), and Total Phosphorus (TP) are applied to the model as an event mean concentration (EMC) for the initial pollutant loading to the system. A discussion of the results of the two alternatives, the ability of the SWMM to model different functions of LID features, and recommendations for future research is included in the concluding chapters of this research thesis.

description: This work presents a novel and promising approach to the clinical management of acute stroke. Using machine learning techniques, our research has succeeded in developing accurate diagnosis and prediction real-time models from hemodynamic data. These models are able to diagnose stroke subtype with 30 minutes of monitoring, to predict the exitus during the first 3 hours of monitoring, and to predict the stroke recurrence in just 15 minutes of monitoring. Patients with difficult access to a \acrshort{CT} scan, and all patients that arrive at the stroke unit of a specialized hospital will benefit from these positive results. The results obtained from the real-time developed models are the following: stroke diagnosis around $98\%$ precision ($97.8\%$ Sensitivity, $99.5\%$ Specificity), exitus prediction with $99.8\%$ precision ($99.8\%$ Sens., $99.9\%$ Spec.) and $98\%$ precision predicting stroke recurrence ($98\%$ Sens., $99\%$ Spec.).

Better characterization of the structure, dynamics and function of core/periphery networks is a key step of our understanding cellular functions, species adaptation, social and market changes. Here we summarize the current knowledge of the structure and dynamics of "traditional" core/periphery networks, rich-clubs, nested, bow-tie and onion networks. Comparing core/periphery structures with network modules, we discriminate between global and local cores. The core/periphery network organization lies in the middle of several extreme properties, such as random/condensed structures, clique/star configurations, network symmetry/asymmetry, network assortativity/disassortativity, as well as network hierarchy/anti-hierarchy. These properties of high complexity together with the large degeneracy of core pathways ensuring cooperation and providing multiple options of network flow re-channelling greatly contribute to the high robustness of complex systems. Core processes enable a coordinated response to various stimuli, decrease noise, and evolve slowly. The integrative function of network cores is an important step in the development of a large variety of complex organisms and organizations. In addition to these important features and several decades of research interest, studies on core/periphery networks still have a number of unexplored areas.

description: Using Landau-de Gennes theory to describe nematic order, we study a frustrated cell consisting of nematic liquid crystal confined between two parallel plates. We prove the uniqueness of equilibrium states for a small cell width. Letting the cell width grow, we study the behaviour of this unique solution. Restricting ourselves to a certain interval of temperature, we prove that this solution becomes unstable at a critical value of the cell width. Moreover, we show that this loss of stability comes with the appearance of two new solutions: there is a symmetric pitchfork bifurcation. This picture agrees with numerical simulations performed by P. Palffy-Muhorray, E.C. Gartland and J.R. Kelly. Some of the methods that we use in the present paper apply to other situations, and we present the proofs in a general setting. More precisely, the paper contains the proof of a general uniqueness result for a class of perturbed quasilinear elliptic systems, and general considerations about symmetric solutions and their stability, in the spirit of Palais' Principle of Symmetric Criticality.

description: Calculated energy levels from recent \emph{ab initio} studies of the electronic structure of SrCl$_{2}$:Yb$^{2+}$ and CsCaBr$_{3}$:Yb$^{2+}$ are fitted with a semi-empirical "crystal-field" Hamiltonian, which acts within the model space $4f^{14} + 4f^{13}5d + 4f^{13}6s$. Parameters are obtained for the minima of the potential-energy curves for each energy level and also for a range of anion-cation separations. The parameters are compared with published results parameters fitted to experimental data and to atomic calculations. The states with significant $4f^{13}6s$ character give a good approximation of the impurity-trapped exciton states that appear in the \emph{ab initio} calculations.

description: In der vorliegenden Pilotstudie steht [...] die Perspektive der Lehrenden im Zentrum. Mit dem Fokus auf den Englischunterricht an Berufsfachschulen ist sie ausserdem als Beitrag zu einem Bereich zu sehen der [...] in der Schweiz als ausgesprochen unterbeforscht gilt. In strukturierten Leitfadeninterviews wurden Englischlehrpersonen von Berufsfachschulen mit den zwei Berufsgruppen Technik und Wirtschaft zur Rolle und Funktion des Englischunterrichts in der Ausbildung ihrer Lernenden befragt. Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchung war die Hypothese, dass sich das berufsspezifische Englisch an den Berufsfachschulen hauptsächlich durch Vokabular und Textsorten vom allgemeinbildenden Englischunterricht unterscheidet. Zusätzlich zu den Interviews wurden Bildungsverordnungen, Curricula und Inhalte von Lehrabschlussprüfungen ausgewertet.

Cotunneling signatures of Spin-Electric coupling in frustrated triangular molecular magnets

description: The ground state of frustrated (antiferromagnetic) triangular molecular magnets is characterized by two total-spin $S =1/2$ doublets with opposite chirality. According to a group theory analysis [M. Trif \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{101}, 217201 (2008)] an external electric field can efficiently couple these two chiral spin states, even when the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) is absent. The strength of this coupling, $d$, is determined by an off-diagonal matrix element of the dipole operator, which can be calculated by \textit{ab-initio} methods [M. F. Islam \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. B \textbf{82}, 155446 (2010)]. In this work we propose that Coulomb-blockade transport experiments in the cotunneling regime can provide a direct way to determine the spin-electric coupling strength. Indeed, an electric field generates a $d$-dependent splitting of the ground state manifold, which can be detected in the inelastic cotunneling conductance. Our theoretical analysis is supported by master-equation calculations of quantum transport in the cotunneling regime. We employ a Hubbard-model approach to elucidate the relationship between the Hubbard parameters $t$ and $U$, and the spin-electric coupling constant $d$. This allows us to predict the regime in which the coupling constant $d$ can be extracted from experiment.
Measurement of the production cross section for Z gamma to nu nu gamma in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and limits on Z Z gamma and Z gamma gamma triple gauge boson couplings

description: A measurement of the Z gamma to nu nu-bar gamma cross section in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 inverse femtobarns collected with the CMS detector. This measurement is based on the observation of events with an imbalance of transverse energy in excess of 130 GeV and a single photon in the absolute pseudorapidity range abs(eta) < 1.4 with transverse energy above 145 GeV. The Z gamma to nu nu-bar gamma production cross section is measured to be 21.1 +/- 4.2 (stat.) +/- 4.3 (syst.) +/- 0.5 (lum.) fb, which agrees with the standard model prediction of 21.9 +/- 1.1 fb. The results are combined with the CMS measurement of Z gamma production in the l+ l- gamma final state (where l is an electron or a muon) to yield the most stringent limits to date on triple gauge boson couplings: abs(h[3,Z]) < 2.7E-3, abs(h[4,Z]) < 1.3E-5 for Z Z gamma and abs(h[3,gamma]) < 2.9E-3, abs(h[4,gamma]) < 1.5E-5 for Z gamma gamma couplings.

description: We develop a dynamical formulation of one-dimensional scattering theory where the reflection and transmission amplitudes for a general, possibly complex and energy-dependent, scattering potential are given as solutions of a set of dynamical equations. By decoupling and partially integrating these equations, we reduce the scattering problem to a second order linear differential equation with universal initial conditions that is equivalent to an initial-value time-independent Schrodinger equation. We give explicit formulas for the reflection and transmission amplitudes in terms of the solution of either of these equations and employ them to outline an inverse-scattering method for constructing finite-range potentials with desirable scattering properties at any prescribed wavelength. In particular, we construct optical potentials displaying threshold lasing, anti-lasing, and unidirectional invisibility.
