description: Accurate rainfall data are crucial for effective climate services, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, where agriculture depends heavily on rain-fed systems. The sparse distribution of rain-gauge networks necessitates reliance on satellite and reanalysis rainfall products (REs). This study evaluated eight REs -- CHIRPS, TAMSAT, CHIRP, ENACTS, ERA5, AgERA5, PERSIANN-CDR, and PERSIANN-CCS-CDR -- in Zambia and Ghana using a point-to-pixel validation approach. The analysis covered spatial consistency, annual rainfall summaries, seasonal patterns, and rainfall intensity detection across 38 ground stations. Results showed no single product performed optimally across all contexts, highlighting the need for application-specific recommendations. All products exhibited a high probability of detection (POD) for dry days in Zambia and northern Ghana (70% < POD < 100%, and 60% < POD < 85%, respectively), suggesting their utility for drought-related studies. However, all products showed limited skill in detecting heavy and violent rains (POD close to 0%), making them unsuitable for analyzing such events (e.g., floods) in their current form. Products integrated with station data (ENACTS, CHIRPS, and TAMSAT) outperformed others in many contexts, emphasizing the importance of local observation calibration. Bias correction is strongly recommended due to varying bias levels across rainfall summaries. A critical area for improvement is the detection of heavy and violent rains, with which REs currently struggle. Future research should focus on this aspect.

description: In recent years, various doping methods for epitaxial graphene have been demonstrated through atom substitution and adsorption. Here we observe by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) a coupling-induced Dirac cone renormalization when depositing small amounts of Ti onto epitaxial graphene on SiC. We obtain a remarkably high doping efficiency and a readily tunable carrier velocity simply by changing the amount of deposited Ti. First-principles theoretical calculations show that a strong lateral (non-vertical) orbital coupling leads to an efficient doping of graphene by hybridizing the 2pz orbital of graphene and the 3d orbitals of the Ti adsorbate, which attached on graphene without creating any trap/scattering states. This Ti-induced hybridization is adsorbate-specific and has major consequences for efficient doping as well as applications towards adsorbate-induced modification of carrier transport in graphene.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to test whether a frame that makes a consideration accessible by denying its applicability generates a framing effect. Three experimental conditions and one control condition were included in each condition for a total of 2,365 respondents. In each of the three experimental conditions, respondents were presented with different framings of where blame lies in the economic conditions of the day (uncertain, President is responsible, President is not responsible) and then asked whether they believe that President Barack Obama is responsible. Control condition respondents were not presented with information on current economic conditions and were not asked to answer the attribution question. All respondents were asked to evaluate President Obama’s overall job performance and his handling of foreign, economic, healthcare, education, and energy policy. This allowed for comparison of how accessibility of considerations affect an individual’s evaluation of presidential job performance.

description: We propose a generic scenario for realizing gapful topological superconductors (TSCs) from gapless spin-singlet superconductors (SCs). Noncentrosymmetric nodal SCs in two dimension are shown to be gapful under a Zeeman field, as a result of the cooperation of inversion-symmetry breaking and time-reversal-symmetry breaking. In particular, non-s-wave SCs acquire a large excitation gap. Such paramagnetically-induced gapful SCs may be classified into TSCs in the symmetry class D specified by the Chern number. We show nontrivial Chern numbers over a wide parameter range for spin-singlet SCs. A variety of the paramagnetically-induced gapful TSCs are demonstrated, including D+p-wave TSC, extended S+p-wave TSC, p+D+f-wave TSC, and s+P-wave TSC. Natural extension toward three-dimensional Weyl SCs is also discussed.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to test the influences of trust and confidence in the public’s willingness to cooperate with government vaccine recommendations in response to a smallpox outbreak. The 521 total respondents were divided into two groups, with each group given short messages describing a fictional smallpox outbreak, the role of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in such an event, and vaccine information and recommendations for members of a community believed to have been exposed to the virus. In the first group, the message aimed to enhance trust by highlighting the shared values dimension of trust. In the second group, the message aimed to enhance confidence in the DHS to effectively manage the smallpox outbreak by highlighting past performance during recent public health crises (i.e. anthrax and SARS) as well as approaches that were successfully employed in the past to control smallpox outbreaks. After reading one of the two messages, participants completed a survey measuring shared values with DHS, past performance of DHS, confidence in DHS to manage smallpox, smallpox risk perceptions, knowledge of smallpox, and behavioral intention to cooperate with vaccine recommendations. This allowed for comparison of messaging influence on the public’s willingness to cooperate.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to test the effect of applicant gender and attractiveness on job suitability perceptions for different kinds of jobs. The study includes 16 test conditions with a total of 435 respondents. Respondents were randomized into one of four groups and respondents in each of the four groups were presented with one of four photos of a fictitious job applicant: more attractive female applicant, more attractive male applicant, less attractive female applicant, or less attractive male applicant. Respondents in each group were further randomized and presented with one of four job openings: Manager of Computer and Information Systems, Manager of Human Resources, Computer and Information Systems Specialist, or Human Resources Specialist. After being presented with the photo and job role, respondents were surveyed on their first impressions of the candidate’s general attributes and job-specific competencies. Respondents’ tendencies to answer gender-based questions in a social-responsible way was measured with responses to an intentionally biased reading passage.

Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to measure how xenophobic rhetoric affects immigrants and their co-ethnics in a socio-political context. Respondents were asked to assess the importance of their Latino identity and acculturation before being randomly assigned to one of three conditions (control, no xenophobic comments, and xenophobic comments). A total of 1,203 respondents were surveyed. Respondents in the two treatment groups were asked to read a mock press release attributed to an unidentified member of Congress that either did or did not include xenophobic remarks on immigration. All respondents were surveyed on their support for nationalist proposals (including strict voting for Latino candidates and maintenance of the Spanish language among Latino children), feelings toward Latinos, Whites, and Blacks/African Americans, political interest and attachment, and their trust in the government. This allowed for comparison of tendencies toward ethnocentrism and ethnic nationalism in response to xenophobic rhetoric across different levels ethnic identity relevance and acculturation.

Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to measure which personal attributes are associated more strongly with individuals favoring conspiratorial thinking and the general properties of a readily accepted conspiratorial conjecture. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of eight groups defined by exposure to an anxiety prime (yes or no), casualty (one identified victim vs. multiple unidentified victims), and identity of putative conspirator (corporation vs. government facility). A total of 1,997 respondents were surveyed. Prior to reading the vignettes, all respondents completed measures on self-esteem and authoritarian disposition. After reading the assigned vignette, respondents from each group were surveyed on their empathy for the victim(s), the trustworthiness and transparency of the implied conspirator, and the respondents support for a full investigation into the alleged conspirator’s role in the death(s). This allowed comparison of the strength of influence across attributes of the individual and the conjecture regarding belief in a conspiracy theory.

description: We investigate the influence of the chemical potential mismatch $Δ$ (different electron densities) on Coulomb drag between two parallel ballistic quantum wires. For pair collisions, the drag resistivity $ρ_{\rm D}(Δ)$ shows a peculiar anomaly at $Δ=0$ with $ρ_{\rm D}$ being finite at $Δ=0$ and vanishing at any nonzero $Δ$. The "bodyless" resonance in $ρ_{\rm D}(Δ)$ at zero $Δ$ is only broadened by processes of multi-particle scattering. We analyze Coulomb drag for finite $Δ$ in the presence of both two- and three-particle scattering within the kinetic equation framework, focusing on a Fokker-Planck picture of the interaction-induced diffusion in momentum space of the double-wire system. We describe the dependence of $ρ_{\rm D}$ on $Δ$ for both weak and strong intrawire equilibration due to three-particle scattering.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to test the importance of ideological compatibility on voter participation and choice. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of four treatments presenting the competing ideological placements of two anonymous congressional candidates (slightly liberal vs. slightly conservative or very liberal vs. very conservative). Treatments 1 and 3 provided additional information about the candidates (58-year-old male candidate vs. 32-year-old female candidate), whereas treatments 2 and 4 provided no additional information. A total of 1,997 respondents were surveyed. Prior to treatment, respondents answered questions on how often they voted, interest in politics, and ideology. Respondents from each treatment group were asked to rate the two candidates and indicate their candidate preference, how satisfied they were in the choice of candidates available, how motivated they would be to cast a vote if the two candidates were running in their district, and their interest in learning more about the candidates. This allowed for comparisons of strength of ideological influences across voter demographics.
The Case for PSR J1614-2230 as a NICER Target

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Neutron star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER) is expected to launch in early 2017 and will gather X-ray data on neutron stars and other high-energy sources from a berth on the International Space Station. Its prime scientific goal is to measure the masses and radii of non-accreting neutron stars via fits to the energy-dependent waveforms produced by the rotation of hot spots on their surfaces. These measurements will provide valuable input to theoretical models of cold matter beyond nuclear density. Here we propose that PSR J1614$-$2230, despite its low count rate, is a promising source to observe with NICER. The reason is that XMM-Newton observations suggest that the fractional oscillation amplitude from PSR J1614$-$2230 could be high enough that this star cannot be very compact. We show that if we analyze 0.5 Ms of NICER data and 0.1 Ms of nearby off-source data and combine that analysis with the known mass of this star, we would find a robust lower limit to the radius with a statistical uncertainty of only $\sim 0.5-0.7$ km. We also show that even if there is an unmodeled nonthermal component modulated at the pulsation frequency, good statistical fits could rule out significant biases. The low count rate will make reliable upper limits on the radius difficult, but the lower limit could rule out some equations of state that are currently being discussed. This analysis would require a good estimate of the non-source background, so Chandra observations of the vicinity of PSR J1614$-$2230 would be helpful.

Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to test whether information on political funding provides voters with a useful signal of candidate ideology. Respondents were randomly assigned to view one of seven video advertisements for a fictitious political candidate (6 treatments and 1 control). Treatments varied by campaign finance information (PAC disclaimer, disclaimer plus disclosure PAC corporate support, or disclaimer plus disclosure PAC labor union support) and placement of the disclosure (pre- or post-video). The control condition received no disclaimer or disclosure information. A total of 2,991 respondents were surveyed. Respondents answered recall questions on the video presented to them, as well as metrics of candidate support, overall trust in government, and political efficacy. This allowed for comparison of responses across respondent ideology and political identity.

description: In 2009, the first author introduced a new class of zeta functions, called `distance zeta functions', associated with arbitrary compact fractal subsets of Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension. It represents a natural, but nontrivial extension of the theory of `geometric zeta functions' of bounded fractal strings. In this memoir, we introduce the class of `relative fractal drums' (or RFDs), which contains the classes of bounded fractal strings and of compact fractal subsets of Euclidean spaces as special cases. Furthermore, the associated (relative) distance zeta functions of RFDs, extend (in a suitable sense) the aforementioned classes of fractal zeta functions. This notion is very general and flexible, enabling us to view practically all of the previously studied aspects of the theory of fractal zeta functions from a unified perspective as well as to go well beyond the previous theory. The abscissa of (absolute) convergence of any relative fractal drum is equal to the relative box dimension of the RFD. We pay particular attention to the question of constructing meromorphic extensions of the distance zeta functions of RFDs, as well as to the construction of transcendentally $\infty$-quasiperiodic RFDs (i.e., roughly, RFDs with infinitely many quasiperiods, all of which are algebraically independent). We also describe a class of RFDs (and, in particular, a new class of bounded sets), called {\em maximal hyperfractals}, such that the critical line of (absolute) convergence consists solely of nonremovable singularities of the associated relative distance zeta functions. Finally, we also describe a class of Minkowski measurable RFDs which possess an infinite sequence of complex dimensions of arbitrary multiplicity $m\ge1$, and even an infinite sequence of essential singularities along the critical line.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted in two waves: the first measured racial resentment (n=2,490), while the second (n=1,808) tested the effect of different race-based appeals utilized by White and Black candidates. Eight experimental conditions and one control condition were included in the second wave. In each experimental condition respondents were presented with a brief news article on a political candidate in which the candidate was either White or Black (cued by candidate photo) and the appeal was either racially liberal, deracialized, implicitly race-based, or explicitly race-based. The news article presented to the control group did not cue the race of the and the candidate’s appeal was racially neutral. All respondents were surveyed on their understanding of the appeal’s message, perceptions of the candidate and his message, how the appeal made them feel, and the likelihood that they would vote for him. This allowed for comparison of responses to implicit and explicit racial appeal across voter demographics and candidate race.
The Last Minutes of Oxygen Shell Burning in a Massive Star

description: We present the first 3D simulation of the last minutes of oxygen shell burning in an 18 solar mass supernova progenitor up to the onset of core collapse. A moving inner boundary is used to accurately model the contraction of the silicon and iron core according to a 1D stellar evolution model with a self-consistent treatment of core deleptonization and nuclear quasi-equilibrium. The simulation covers the full solid angle to allow the emergence of large-scale convective modes. Due to core contraction and the concomitant acceleration of nuclear burning, the convective Mach number increases to ~0.1 at collapse, and an l=2 mode emerges shortly before the end of the simulation. Aside from a growth of the oxygen shell from 0.51 to 0.56 solar masses due to entrainment from the carbon shell, the convective flow is reasonably well described by mixing length theory, and the dominant scales are compatible with estimates from linear stability analysis. We deduce that artificial changes in the physics, such as accelerated core contraction, can have precarious consequences for the state of convection at collapse. We argue that scaling laws for the convective velocities and eddy sizes furnish good estimates for the state of shell convection at collapse and develop a simple analytic theory for the impact of convective seed perturbations on shock revival in the ensuing supernova. We predict a reduction of the critical luminosity for explosion by 12--24% due to seed asphericities for our 3D progenitor model relative to the case without large seed perturbations.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to measure the influence of enrollment defaults and transparency on people’s decisions. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of three policy domain scenarios: medical testing, organ donation, or retirement savings. Each policy scenario was further split by default option (auto-enrollment vs. non-enrollment) and informational value (nothing said about how the default was chosen vs. statement stating that the default had been chosen randomly by a computer), creating 12 experimental groups. A total of 1,109 respondents were surveyed. After reading the assigned scenario, respondents were asked to assess majority preferences on the default, the believes and implicit advice associated with the default, and their trust and confidence in the policymakers. This allowed for comparison of responses across default types and informational value.

Likewise, female respondents were randomly assigned to view one of twelve photos of depicting women of either White, Black, Hispanic, or Asian descent. A total of 2,160 respondents participated with roughly equal distribution of gender and race. All respondents were asked to assess the pain experienced with various injuries, as well as the pain they thought the person in the photo might feel with the same injuries. Respondents were then surveyed on the perceived differences/similarities between themselves and the person in the photo. This allowed for comparison of perceived differences and empathetic responses across multiple racial lines.

description: The nickel--carbon system has received increased attention over the past years due to the relevance of nickel as a catalyst for carbon nanotube and graphene growth, where Nickel carbide intermediates may be involved or carbide interface layers form in the end. Nickel--carbon composite thin films comprising Ni$_3$C are especially interesting in mechanical sensing applications. Due to the meta-stability of nickel carbides, formation conditions and the coupling between mechanical and electrical properties are not yet well understood. Using first-principles electronic structure methods, we calculated the elastic properties of Ni$_3$C, Ni$_2$C and NiC, as well as changes in electronic properties under mechanical strain. We observe that the electronic density of states around the Fermi level does not change under the considered strains of up to 1%, which correspond to stresses up to 3GPa. Relative changes in conductivity of Ni$_3$C range up to maximum values of about 10%.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to test the effect of legalized commitments on a country’s reputation as measured by foreign public support for future cooperative agreements. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of twelve scenarios detailing a foreign policy issue faced by an unnamed country and the actions they have undertaken in response to the issue. In each scenario, the policy actions are either military or economic in nature (military strike or trade barriers against another foreign territory or country) and vary by legal commitment (signed international treaty against such action, participated in developing regional guidelines against such action, or no legal obligation to not take action) and policy outcome (did or did not carry out a military strike/trade barriers). A total of 2,929 respondents participated. All respondents were surveyed on their support for the U.S. government signing a future military or trade agreement with the foreign country acting in the scenario. This allowed for comparison of perceived credibility and support/opposition for future cooperation with a foreign country based on that country’s history of commitment to legal commitments, nature of political issues in which the foreign country has complied with/violated legal commitments in the past, and whether proposed future cooperation with that country deals with similar issues.

description: Unlike optical CCDs, near-infrared detectors, which are based on CMOS hybrid readout technology, typically suffer from electrical crosstalk between the pixels. The interpixel capacitance (IPC) responsible for the crosstalk affects the point-spread function (PSF) of the telescope, increasing the size and modifying the shape of all objects in the images while correlating the Poisson noise. Upcoming weak lensing surveys that use these detectors, such as WFIRST, place stringent requirements on the PSF size and shape (and the level at which these are known), which in turn must be translated into requirements on IPC. To facilitate this process, we present a first study of the effect of IPC on WFIRST PSF sizes and shapes. Realistic PSFs are forward-simulated from physical principles for each WFIRST bandpass. We explore how the PSF size and shape depends on the range of IPC coupling with pixels that are connected along an edge or corner; for the expected level of IPC in WFIRST, IPC increases the PSF sizes by $\sim$5\%. We present a linear fitting formula that describes the uncertainty in the PSF size or shape due to uncertainty in the IPC, which could arise for example due to unknown time evolution of IPC as the detectors age or due to spatial variation of IPC across the detector. We also study of the effect of a small anisotropy in the IPC, which further modifies the PSF shapes. Our results are a first, critical step in determining the hardware and characterization requirements for the detectors used in the WFIRST survey.

TESS Experiments: The Flexible Correction Model and Party Labels
Creators: name: Bergan, Daniel
Publisher: name: Roper Center for Public Opinion Research

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to test whether people, when instructed to avoid bias, will correct for the influence of party labels on their policy attitudes. Respondents were randomly assigned to read and respond to one of three news articles about a novel healthcare policy proposal that is either supported by Republicans/opposed by Democrats, supported by Democrats/opposed by Republicans, or supported by policymakers not attributed to either party/opposed by other members of Congress. For each version of the news article, half of the respondents were instructed to ignore irrelevant factors and avoid bias in their judgements, while the other half were not, resulting in six treatment groups. A total of 1,206 respondents participated. All respondents were surveyed on their attitude toward the novel policy, their perceived bias of party label, political knowledge and strength of party identity. This allowed comparison of bias correction across different levels of partisanship and perceived influence of party labels.

description: Large-scale structure has been shown as a promising cosmic probe for distinguishing and constraining dark energy models. Using the growth index parametrization, we obtain an analytic formula for the growth rate of structures in a coupled dark energy model in which the exchange of energy-momentum is proportional to the dark energy density. We find that the evolution of $f σ_8$ can be determined analytically once we know the coupling, the dark energy equation of state, the present value of the dark energy density parameter and the current mean amplitude of dark matter fluctuations. After correcting the growth function for the correspondence with the velocity field through the continuity equation in the interacting model, we use our analytic result to compare the model's predictions with large-scale structure observations.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to measure the effects of false-reporting of misinformation-acceptance by survey participants seeking to express dislike for a political figure or party regardless of their true beliefs. Respondents were randomly assigned one of four groups: baseline (Group 1), indirect-ask treatment (Group 2) and two direct-ask conditions (Groups 3 and 4). A total of 6,335 respondents participated. Respondents from groups 1 and 2 were each presented with a list of statements and asked to quantify how many statements they agreed with. Group 1 was presented with a list of four general statements. Group 2 was presented with the same list of general statements plus a statement declaring that Barack Obama is a Muslim. Groups 3 and 4 respondents were directly asked if they believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim, with only Group 3 given an option of responding with uncertainty. All respondents were surveyed on their sources of political news. This allowed for comparison of indirect- and direct-ask responses across partisan characteristics.
