description: Nanodiamonds (NDs) containing silicon vacancy (SiV) defects were evaluated as a potential biomarker for the labeling and fluorescent imaging of neural precursor cells (NPCs). SiV-containing NDs were synthesized using chemical vapor deposition and silicon ion implantation. Spectrally, SiV-containing NDs exhibited extremely stable fluorescence and narrow bandwidth emission with an excellent signal to noise ratio exceeding that of NDs containing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. NPCs labeled with NDs exhibited normal cell viability and proliferative properties consistent with biocompatibility. We conclude that SiVcontaining NDs are a promising biomedical research tool for cellular labeling and optical imaging in stem cell research.

description: In this paper, we address how to implement T duality to the closed string tree cylinder amplitude between a Dp brane and a Dp$'$ brane with $p - p' = 2 \,n$. For this, we first compute the closed string tree cylinder amplitude between these two D branes with common longitudinal and transverse circle compactifications. We then show explicitly how to perform a T duality to this amplitude along either a longitudinal or a transverse compactified direction to both branes. In the decompactification limit, we show that either the compactified cylinder amplitude or the T dual compactified cylinder one gives the known non-compactified one as expected.

description: Group-based trajectory modeling was used to explore empirical trajectories of symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among 17,062 adult area residents/workers (nonrescue/recovery workers) enrolled in the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Registry using 3 administrations of the PTSD Checklist (PCL) over 9 years of observation. Six trajectories described PTSD over time: low-stable (48.9%), moderate-stable (28.3%), moderate-increasing (8.2%), high-stable (6.0%), high-decreasing (6.6 %), and very high-stable (2.0%). To examine factors associated with improving or worsening PTSD symptoms, groups with similar intercepts, but different trajectories were compared using bivariate analyses and logistic regression. The adjusted odds of being in the moderate-increasing relative to the moderate-stable group were significantly greater among enrollees reporting low social integration (OR = 2.18), WTC exposures (range = 1.34 to 1.53), job loss related to the September 11, 2001 disaster (OR = 1.41), or unmet mental health need/treatment (OR = 4.37). The odds of being in the high-stable relative to the high-decreasing group were significantly greater among enrollees reporting low social integration (OR = 2.23), WTC exposures (range = 1.39 to 1.45), or unmet mental health need/treatment (OR = 3.42). The influence of severe exposures, scarce personal/financial resources, and treatment barriers on PTSD trajectories suggest a need for early and ongoing PTSD screening postdisaster.

description: Background: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants, known human lung carcinogens, and potent mammary carcinogens in laboratory animals. However, the association between PAHs and breast cancer in women is unclear. Vehicular traffic is a major ambient source of PAH exposure. Objectives: Our study aim was to evaluate the association between residential exposure to vehicular traffic and breast cancer incidence. Methods: Residential histories of 1,508 participants with breast cancer (case participants) and 1,556 particpants with no breast cancer (control participants) were assessed in a population-based investigation conducted in 1996–1997. Traffic exposure estimates of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), as a proxy for traffic-related PAHs, for the years 1960–1995 were reconstructed using a model previously shown to generate estimates consistent with measured soil PAHs, PAH–DNA adducts, and CO readings. Associations between vehicular traffic exposure estimates and breast cancer incidence were evaluated using unconditional logistic regression. Results: The odds ratio (95% CI) was modestly elevated by 1.44 (0.78, 2.68) for the association between breast cancer and long-term 1960–1990 vehicular traffic estimates in the top 5%, compared with below the median. The association with recent 1995 traffic exposure was elevated by 1.14 (0.80, 1.64) for the top 5%, compared with below the median, which was stronger among women with low fruit/vegetable intake [1.46 (0.89, 2.40)], but not among those with high fruit/vegetable intake [0.92 (0.53, 1.60)]. Among the subset of women with information regarding traffic exposure and tumor hormone receptor subtype, the traffic–breast cancer association was higher for those with estrogen/progesterone-negative tumors [1.67 (0.91, 3.05) relative to control participants], but lower among all other tumor subtypes [0.80 (0.50, 1.27) compared with control participants]. Conclusions: In our population-based study, we observed positive associations between vehicular traffic-related B[a]P exposure and breast cancer incidence among women with comparatively high long-term traffic B[a]P exposures, although effect estimates were imprecise.

Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and observations of two (L1165-SMM1 and CB230 IRS1) with the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA). The VLA observations were taken at wavelengths of $λ= 7.3$ mm, 1.4 cm, 3.3 cm, 4.0 cm, and 6.5 cm with a best resolution of $\sim$0\farcs06 (18 AU) at 7.3 mm. The L1165-SMM1 CARMA observations were taken at $λ= 1.3$ mm with a best resolution of $\sim0\farcs3$ (100 AU), and the CB230 IRS1 observations were taken at $λ= 3.4$ mm with a best resolution of $\sim$3\arcsec\ (900 AU). We find that L1165-SMM1 and CB230 IRS1 have probable binary companions at separations of $\sim$0\farcs3 (100 AU) from detections of secondary peaks at multiple wavelengths. The position angles of these companions are nearly orthogonal to the direction of the observed bipolar outflows, consistent with the expected protostellar disk orientations. We suggest that these companions may have formed from disk fragmentation; turbulent fragmentation would not preferentially arrange the binary companions to be orthogonal to the outflow direction. For L1165-SMM1, both the 7.3 mm and 1.3 mm emission show evidence of a large (R $>$ 100 AU) disk. For the L1165-SMM1 primary protostar and the CB230 IRS1 secondary protostar, the 7.3 mm emission is resolved into structures consistent with $\sim20$ AU radius disks. For the other protostars, including L1157-mm, the emission is unresolved, suggesting disks with radii $< 20$ AU.

description: Vehicular traffic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been associated with breast cancer incidence in epidemiologic studies, including our own. Because PAHs damage DNA by forming adducts and oxidative lesions, genetic polymorphisms that alter DNA repair capacity may modify associations between PAH-related exposures and breast cancer risk. Our goal was to examine the association between vehicular traffic exposure and breast cancer incidence within strata of a panel of nine biologically plausible nucleotide excision repair (NER) and base excision repair (BER) genotypes. Residential histories of 1,508 cases and 1,556 controls were assessed in the Long Island Breast Cancer Study Project between 1996 and 1997 and used to reconstruct residential traffic exposures to benzo[a]pyrene, as a proxy for traffic-related PAHs. Likelihood ratio tests from adjusted unconditional logistic regression models were used to assess multiplicative interactions. A gene-traffic interaction was evident (p = 0.04) for ERCC2 (Lys751); when comparing the upper and lower tertiles of 1995 traffic exposure estimates, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) was 2.09 (1.13, 3.90) among women with homozygous variant alleles. Corresponding odds ratios for 1960–1990 traffic were also elevated nearly 2–3-fold for XRCC1(Arg194Trp), XRCC1(Arg399Gln) and OGG1(Ser326Cys), but formal multiplicative interaction was not evident. When DNA repair variants for ERCC2, XRCC1 and OGG1 were combined, among women with 4–6 variants, the odds ratios were 2.32 (1.22, 4.49) for 1995 traffic and 2.96 (1.06, 8.21) for 1960–1990 traffic. Our study is first to report positive associations between traffic-related PAH exposure and breast cancer incidence among women with select biologically plausible DNA repair genotypes.

description: A step-by-step evolution of an asymmetric Raman line-shape function from a Lorentzian line-shape is presented here for low dimensional semiconductors. The evolution reported here is based on the phonon confinement model which is successfully used in literature to explain the asymmetric Raman line-shape from semiconductor nano-structures. Physical significance of different terms in the theoretical asymmetric Raman line-shape has been explained here. Better understanding of theoretical reasoning behind each term allows one to use the theoretical Raman line-shape without going into details of theory from first principle. This will enable one to empirically derive a theoretical Raman line-shape function for any material if information about its phonon dispersion, size dependence etc is known.

description: The purpose of this report is to summarize the key elements of school and district level Performance Index scores (PI scores) for the 50 states and the District of Columbia (D.C.) across the United States. PI scores are partial or overall summative ratings of schools or districts currently used across US state accountability systems to assess organizational performance. In this study, we first extracted 14 elements from 49 PI calculation metrics for states in the U.S and conducted a descriptive analysis to provide an overview of which data elements are used across the different calculation metrics for each state and what role PI scores play in state accountability systems. Second, we categorized the fourteen elements into seven categories proposed by the most recent ESSA regulations (81 FR 34539 §200.14-16, 2016) and examined how each state integrated each element in their PI score calculations. Third, we conducted a multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis to compare the similarities and differences of PI calculation metrics across the states. The results indicate that there are few commonalities in PI score calculation metrics across the states, as each state has its own methods in addressing the requirements of NCLB and now ESSA. The goal of this report is to inform decisions across states on PI score calculations through summarizing overall ratings and metrics nationally used to hold schools and districts accountable as states move toward implementing the recent Every Child Succeeds Act (ESSA) regulations.

description: Objectives: The prevalence of persistent lower respiratory symptoms (LRS) among rescue/recovery workers, local area workers, residents and passers-by in the World Trade Center Health Registry (WTCHR) was analysed to identify associated factors and to measure its effect on quality of life (QoL) 10 years after 9/11/2001. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 18 913 adults who completed 3 WTCHR surveys (2003–2004 (Wave 1 (W1)), 2006–2007 (Wave 2 (W2)) and 2011–2012 (Wave 3 (W3)). LRS were defined as self-reported cough, wheeze, dyspnoea or inhaler use in the 30 days before survey. The prevalence of three LRS outcomes: LRS at W1; LRS at W1 and W2; and LRS at W1, W2 and W3 (persistent LRS) was compared with no LRS on WTC exposure and probable mental health conditions determined by standard screening tests. Diminished physical and mental health QoL measures were examined as potential LRS outcomes, using multivariable logistic and Poisson regression. Results: Of the 4 outcomes, persistent LRS was reported by 14.7%. Adjusted ORs for disaster exposure, probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at W2, lacking college education and obesity were incrementally higher moving from LRS at W1, LRS at W1 and W2 to persistent LRS. Half of those with persistent LRS were comorbid for probable PTSD, depression or generalised anxiety disorder. Enrollees with persistent LRS were 3 times more likely to report poor physical health and ∼ 50% more likely to report poor mental health than the no LRS group. Conclusions: LRS, accompanied by mental health conditions and decreased QoL, have persisted for at least 10 years after 9/11/2001. Affected adults require continuing surveillance and treatment.

description: Empirical evidence indicates that river proximity in Maine (USA) is a disamenity to residential property owners; a legacy of industrial activities created a significant impetus for damming and intensive commercial management of waterways. As a result, water quality deteriorated, aquatic populations plummeted, recreational fishing quality suffered, and river amenities were lost. With concern over sea-run fisheries and a significant decline of mills, interest in dam removal has piqued. Using home sales data on the Penobscot River in Maine, we estimate marginal willingness to pay (WTP) for river proximity before and after dam removal. The timing of sales encompasses two dam removals. Building upon earlier works, using difference-indifferences and matching methods, we find a negative effect of river proximity, that diminishes in a wake of dam removal, evidently implying improvements in river amenity effects following the removal.

description: A state $ρ=(ρ_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a sequence such that $ρ_n$ is a density matrix on $n$ qubits. It formalizes the notion of an infinite sequence of qubits. The von Neumann entropy $H(d)$ of a density matrix $d$ is the Shannon entropy of its eigenvalue distribution. We show: (1) If $ρ$ is a computable quantum Schnorr random state then $\lim_n [H(ρ_n )/n] = 1$. (2) We define quantum s-tests for $s\in [0,1]$, show that $\liminf_n [H(ρ_n)/n]\geq \{ s: ρ$ is covered by a quantum s-test $\}$ for computable $ρ$ and construct states where this inequality is an equality. (3) If $\exists c \exists^\infty n H(ρ_n)> n-c$ then $ρ$ is strong quantum random. Strong quantum randomness is a randomness notion which implies quantum Schnorr randomness relativized to any oracle. (4) A computable state $(ρ_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is quantum Schnorr random iff the family of distributions of the $ρ_n$'s is uniformly integrable. We show that the implications in (1) and (3) are strict.

description: The World Health Organization declared the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) a pandemic on March 11, 2020, (CDC, 2020) and shortly after on March 13, 2020, President Trump declared that the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States was a national emergency (White House, 2020a). The Trump administration issued federal guidelines on March 16 recommending that Americans work from home when possible, avoid groups of more than 10 people and avoid eating in restaurants and bars (White House, 2020b). Many states adopted and adapted these federal guidelines into executive orders (EO), which either suggested or required that citizens in those states follow the guidelines. In response to the deleterious effects of the pandemic upon small businesses, Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed by Congress (U.S. Department of Treasury, 2020a). One of these small business assistance programs under the CARES Act is the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). This program is designed to assist small business owners with maintaining payrolls and other business operating expenses during the pandemic (BEA, 2020). The purpose of this study is to provide information about participation by Tennessee’s food and beverage industry participants in the PPP.

The Drama of Celebrity: Introduction

description: Why do millions of people care so passionately about celebrities? THE DRAMA OF CELEBRITY argues that celebrity culture allows celebrities, media workers, and publics to engage in an ongoing and endlessly engaging struggle over agency: the ability to form intentions and execute actions; to affect and influence others; to assign value and meaning; and to exercise or prompt capacities for creativity, originality, judgment, and action. In celebrity culture, three equally pitched parties—media workers, publics, and celebrities themselves—vie and unite to attain, exercise, and sometimes even surrender agency. The fluid and unpredictable nature of their interactions is what makes celebrity so compelling, dramatic, and entertaining to so many.
Nonanalyticities in a Strongly Correlated Fermi Liquid: Corrections to Scaling at the Fermi-Liquid Fixed Point

description: We use scaling and renormalization-group techniques to analyze the leading nonanalyticities in a Fermi liquid. We show that a physically motivated scaling hypothesis reproduce the results known from perturbation theory for the density of states, the density-of-states fluctuations, the specific heat, the spin susceptibility, and the nematic magnetic susceptibility. We also discuss the absence of nonanalytic terms in the density susceptibility. We then use a recent effective field theory for clean electron systems to derive the scaling hypothesis by means of renormalization-group techniques. This shows that the exponents (although not the prefactors) of the nonanalyticities that were previously derived by means of perturbative techniques are indeed exact, and can be understood as the leading corrections to scaling at the stable Fermi-liquid fixed point.

description: Amorphous metal oxide thin-film transistors (TFT) are fabricated using InOx-based semiconductors doped with TiO2, WO3 or SiO2. Although density of dopant is low in the film, change in the electrical properties showed strong dependence on the dopant species. We found that the dependence could be reasonably explained by the bond-dissociation energy. By incorporating the dopant with higher bond-dissociation energy, the film becomes less sensitive to oxygen partial pressure used during sputtering deposition and remains electrically stable to thermal annealing treatment. The concept of bond-dissociation energy can contribute to the realization of more stable metal oxide TFTs for flat panel displays.

description: In this paper, we look at a database of tweets sorted by various keywords that could indicate the users sentiment towards covid vaccines. With social media becoming such a prevalent source of opinion, sorting and ranking tweets that hold important information such as opinions on covid vaccines is of utmost importance. Two different ranking scales were used, and ranking a tweet in this way could represent the difference between an opinion being lost and an opinion being featured on the site, which affects the decisions and behavior of people, and why researchers were interested in it. Using natural language processing techniques, our aim is to determine and categorize opinions about covid vaccines with the highest accuracy possible.

Developing Speech Rhythm Analysis for Forensic Voice Comparison
Creators: name: Carroll, Luke
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2025
Subjects: Speech rhythm
Forensic voice comparison
Spontaneous speech
Perceptual framework

description: Forensic voice comparison (FVC) involves the comparison of a criminal
 recording (e.g., a threatening phone call), and a known suspect sample
 (e.g., a police interview). It is the role of an expert forensic analyst
 to advise the trier of fact (e.g., judge or jury) on the likelihood that
 the two samples include the same or different speakers. To do this, the
 expert will carry out an assessment of the similarity of the speech
 characteristics in the criminal recording and the suspect sample.

 Speech rhythm has been proposed as a feature that could contribute to FVC,
 but there is not yet a structured analysis framework that practitioners
 can exploit in forensic casework. When an analyst suspects a speaker’s
 speech rhythm is relevant to an analysis, it is usually only described at
 an impressionistic level.

 Using both production and perception experiments, the present research
 explores whether there are acoustic and auditory cues that could capture
 speech rhythm and subsequently be used to discriminate between speakers in
 forensic casework. The production experiments revealed that there was very
 little discriminatory power in syllabic duration, intensity and f₀
 measurements across spontaneous, content-mismatched utterances. However,
 there does appear to be some speaker discriminatory value in applying
 these same measurements to, so-called, “frequently occurring speech units”
 (e.g., “er”, “erm”, “yes” and “no”).

 The perception experiments aimed to determine whether listeners (expert
 and non-expert) can make meaningful speaker identification assessments
 when presented with delexicalised speech samples that foreground the
 rhythmic attributes of speech. Results revealed that expert listeners were
 better than non-expert listeners in making correct speaker identification
 assessments, with those who had expertise in forensic phonetics generally
 performing better than those who did not.

 The findings from these experiments give promise to the prospect of
 developing a perceptual (auditory) rhythm framework which can used in
 forensic casework.

Creators: name: Leino, Patricia

description: This study examines Kissing the Cold Goodbye, a study in fine art
 practice-as-research that uses painting as enquiry into a literary text,
 The Living Mountain (1977) by Nan

 Shepherd (1893-1981). The research examines how Shepherd's extended
 walks and climbs in the Scottish Cairngorms manifest in her text, an
 interweaving of personal memoir, natural science, sense-perception and
 eastern philosophy, written from an ecological, feminist perspective. I
 apply Shepherd's concept of walking as access to bodily thinking to
 my own walks and climbs between 2014 and 2023 in Iceland, Finland and
 Scotland. Taking an autoethnographic, first-person voice, ideas from The
 Living Mountain are explored as a relationality with the living world more
 embodied than the landscape as merely a view. One point of issue is
 painting's lack of extended presence within ecological discourses,
 exemplified in a claim by Weintraub (2012) that painted representations of
 landscape offer little consideration of underlying ecosystems. The
 research tests and challenges Weintraub's view in contexts of
 anthropogenic damage to northerly ecosystems: melting glaciers, loss of
 seabirds, ocean plastic and industrial forestry. Painting, it will be
 argued, has a capacity to generate new relationships of body and place in
 response to experiential specificities: I am taking painting to refer both
 to a process of do-ing and a painting, an object that enters the world as
 art. Painting-as-process is presented as bodily thinking, and its physical
 outcome a communication of what it means to think in paint and painting. I
 draw on fine art-specific methodologies and theories of visual art as
 ecocriticism to re-imagine The Living Mountain from an ecocritical
 perspective. In merging artistic practice with ecological critique,
 Kissing the Cold Goodbye contributes to new views of The Living Mountain
 across subject areas of ecological art, walking art, ecocriticism,
 ecofeminism, ecosexuality, painting as mourning, ecological grief and
 contemporary painting practices.

description: Universally practiced across the disciplines, description is also consistently devalued or overlooked. In this introduction to the special issue "Description Across Disciplines," Sharon Marcus, Heather Love, and Stephen Best propose that description is a critical practice more complex (and less contradictory) than its detractors have taken it to be. They argue that turning critical attention toward description’s nuances gives us access to the ways that scholars conventionally assign and withhold value and prestige. The authors set forth a number of principles (using their contributors’ essays as a guide) toward the end of "building a better description."

description: In this thesis, we use the dispersive approach to calculate the effective fine structure constant. In this calculation, a truncated self-energy and triangle topology is considered up to Next-to-Next to Leading Order (NNLO). We have used the dispersive approach for two-loop self energy to evaluate a NNLO (two loop) contributions and a result obtained is rather compact expressions using only two loop Passarino-Veltman function basis. For the triangle topology, we have used a bulk approximation technique. The numerical result was obtained using the LoopTools and ColliersLink packages in Mathematica.

Year: 2025

description: A recent literature review (Kaur, McLoughlin, & Grimes, 2022)
 highlighted the limited research surrounding the transition into secondary
 school mathematics from outside of the UK. This study added an
 international perspective. Set in an International Baccalaureate (IB)
 school in Hong Kong, the experiences of 15 students beginning the Middle
 Years Programme (MYP) mathematics course were explored through a combined
 case study and narrative inquiry approach. Stage-Environment Fit Theory
 and Self-Determination Theory provided a dual lens for analysing student
 needs and the responsiveness of the school environment to those needs.

 Thematic analysis constructed the key themes of: (1) students expect
 change; (2) students value progress; (3) students value comfort; (4)
 students value purposeful and interesting learning experiences; (5)
 students value transparency; and (6) other people play a role in the
 transition. The study found that although students shared similar values,
 the specific form and extent of these values were diverse. These
 differences were attributed to factors such as primary schooling, prior
 attainment, mindset, and motivations for learning.

 These findings informed recommendations that leveraged existing components
 of the IB curriculum: the Approaches to Teaching component of
 differentiation, the Approaches to Learning skill of self-management, the
 addition of clarity to MYP components, and the utilisation of the Service
 as Action for a buddy system. In addition, the appreciation of the
 distinct school contexts existing globally, and the valuable insights
 gleaned from the narrative inquiry approach in this study, inspired a
 recommendation for individual schools to prioritise student voice and
 agency when designing transition interventions.

description: With the rapid transformation of computer hardware and algorithms, mobile networking has evolved from low data carrying capacity and high latency to better-optimized networks, either by enhancing the digital network or using different approaches to reduce network traffic. This paper discusses the big data applications and scheduling in the distributed networking and analyzes the opportunities and challenges of data management systems. The analysis shows that the big data scheduling in the cloud computing environment produces the most efficient way to transfer and synchronize data. Since scheduling problems and cloud models are very complex to analyze in different settings, we set it to the typical software defined networks. The development of cloud management models and coflow scheduling algorithm is proved to be the priority of the digital communications and networks development in the future.
