description: This study is directed towards highlighting tensions of incoming and outgoing vendors during outsourcing in a near-shore context. Incoming-and-outgoing of vendors generate a complex form of relationship in which the participating organizations cooperate and compete simultaneously. It is of great importance to develop knowledge about this kind of relationship typically in the current GSE-related multi-sourcing environment. We carried out a longitudinal case study and utilized data from the 'Novopay' project, which is available in the public domain. This project involved an outgoing New Zealand based vendor and incoming Australian based vendor. The results show that the demand for the same human resources, dependency upon cooperation and collaboration between vendors, reliance on each other system's configurations and utilizing similar strategies by the client, which worked for the previous vendor, generated a set of tensions which needed to be continuously managed throughout the project.

The targum (1948:Dec. 3 - 1948:Dec. 17)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1948

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Language

description: This study’s aim is to investigate further into the relationship between individual differences—working memory and sound recognition ability—and sentence processing of Japanese scrambled sentences for second language (L2) Japanese learners. L2 Japanese learners drawn from 3rd year college-level courses or above were tested on their listening comprehension accuracy in identifying case marking particles in canonical and scrambled sentences. Participants demonstrated a significant slowdown in reaction time and low accuracy rates for scrambled sentences compared with canonical sentences. In addition, even participants with high working memory and proficiency had difficulty in comprehending scrambled sentences and could not process case markings efficiently and accurately in a timed setting. This study is significant in that it is one of the first to examine the relationship between individual differences and comprehending Japanese case markings.

description: A complex InAs/CdSe/ZnSe Core/Shell1/Shell2 (CSS) structure is synthesized, where the intermediate CdSe buffer layer decreases strain between the InAs core and the ZnSe outer shell. This structure leads to significantly improved fluorescence quantum yield as compared to previously prepared core/shell structures and enables growth of much thicker shells. The shell growth is done using a layer-by-layer method in which the shell cation and anion precursors are added sequentially allowing for excellent control and a good size distribution is maintained throughout the entire growth process. The CSS structure is characterized using transmission electron microscopy, as well as by X-ray diffraction and X-ray-photoelectron spectroscopy which provide evidence for shell growth. The quantum yield for CSS with small InAs cores reaches over 70% - exceptional photoluminescence intensity for III-V semiconductor nanocrystals. In larger InAs cores there is a systematic decrease in the quantum yield, with a yield of ~40% for intermediate size cores down to a few percent in large cores. The CSS structures also exhibit very good photostability, vastly improved over those of organically coated cores, and transformation into water environment via ligand exchange is performed without significant decrease of the quantum yield. These new InAs/CdSe/ZnSe CSS nanocrystals are therefore promising near-IR chromophores for biological fluorescence tagging and optoelectronic devices.

description: The time-dependent Casimir-Polder force arising during the time evolution of an initially bare two-level atom, interacting with the radiation field and placed near a perfectly conducting wall, is considered. Initially the electromagnetic field is supposed to be in the vacuum state and the atom in its ground state. The analytical expression of the force as a function of time and atom-wall distance, is evaluated from the the time-dependent atom-field interaction energy. Physical features and limits of validity of the results are discussed in detail.

description: A large population of heavily obscured, Compton Thick AGNs is predicted by models of galaxy formation, models of Cosmic X-ray Background and by the ``relic'' super-massive black-hole mass function measured from local bulges. However, so far only a handful of Compton thick AGNs have been possibly detected using even the deepest Chandra and XMM surveys. Compton-thick AGNs can be recovered thanks to the reprocessing of the AGN UV emission in the infrared by selecting sources with AGN luminosity's in the mid-infrared and faint near-infrared and optical emission. To this purpose, we make use of deep HST, VLT, Spitzer and Chandra data on the Chandra Deep Field South to constrain the number of Compton thick AGN in this field. We show that sources with high 24$μ$m to optical flux ratios and red colors form a distinct source population, and that their infrared luminosity is dominated by AGN emission. Analysis of the X-ray properties of these extreme sources shows that most of them (80$\pm15%$) are indeed likely to be highly obscured, Compton thick AGNs. The number of infrared selected, Compton thick AGNs with 5.8$μ$m luminosity higher than $10^{44.2}$ erg s$^{-1}$ turns out to be similar to that of X-ray selected, unobscured and moderately obscured AGNs with 2-10 keV luminosity higher than $10^{43}$ erg s$^{-1}$ in the redshift bin 1.2-2.6. This ``factor of 2'' source population is exactly what it is needed to solve the discrepancies between model predictions and X-ray AGN selection.

description: Entangling two systems at distant locations using a {\it separable} mediating ancilla is a counterintuitive phenomenon proposed for qubits by T. Cubitt {\it et al}. [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 91}, 037902 (2003)]. We show that such entanglement distribution is possible with Gaussian states, using a certain three-mode fully separable mixed Gaussian state and linear optics elements readily available in experiments. Two modes of the state become entangled by sequentially mixing them on two beam splitters, while the third one remains separable in all stages of the protocol.

description: I sampled 9 streams in Western Maryland during the spring, summer and fall of 2010. 5 species of stream salamander were collected at these streams and analyzed for total mercury; northern dusky salamanders (Desmognathus fuscus), northern two-lined salamanders (Eurycea bislineata), Allegheny Mountain dusky salamanders (Desmognathus ochrophaeus), seal salamanders (Desmognathus monticola), and eastern red spotted newts (Notopthalmus viridescens). The streams were also analyzed for various water chemistry factors; pH, Acid Neutralizing Capacity (ANC), Total Mercury (THg), Methyl Mercury (MeHg), Chloride (Cl-), Nitrate (NO3-), Sulfate (SO42-), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC). In all but two streams adult northern two-lined salamanders had significantly higher concentrations of total mercury in their tissues than larval northern two-lined salamanders. Adult northern two lined salamanders also had the highest concentrations of the three species that were statistically analyzed; northern two-lined salamanders, northern dusky salamanders, and Allegheny Mountain dusky salamanders. Stream methyl mercury concentrations and stream DOC were also found to significantly influence salamander tissue total mercury concentrations.

We show that reasonable parameters can account for the angle-resolved photoemission spectra showing multiple gaps in Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$, and for the temperature dependence of the superfluid density. At the same time, the zero-temperature value of the superfluid density shows a conventional scaling with the number of carriers.

description: We make the case that the Coulomb- plus linear quark confinement potential predicted by lattice QCD is an approximation to the exactly solvable trigonometric Rosen-Morse potential that has the property to interpolate between the Coulomb- and the infinite wells. We test the predictive power of this potential in the description of the nucleon (considered as a quark-diquark system) and provide analytic expressions for its mass spectrum and the proton electric form factor. We compare the results obtained in this fashion to data and find quite good agreement. We obtain an effective gluon propagator in closed form as the Fourier transform of the potential under investigation.

description: Fractional Gaussian fields provide a rich class of spatial models and have a long history of applications in multiple branches of science. However, estimation and inference for fractional Gaussian fields present significant challenges. This book chapter investigates the use of the fractional Laplacian differencing on regular lattices to approximate to continuum fractional Gaussian fields. Emphasis is given on model based geostatistics and likelihood based computations. For a certain range of the fractional parameter, we demonstrate that there is considerable agreement between the continuum models and their lattice approximations. For that range, the parameter estimates and inferences about the continuum fractional Gaussian fields can be derived from the lattice approximations. Interestingly, regular lattice approximations facilitate fast matrix-free computations and enable anisotropic representations. We illustrate the usefulness of lattice approximations via simulation studies and by analyzing sea surface temperature on the Indian Ocean.

description: Emerging research has suggested that miRNAs play a significant role in oncogenesis and tumor progression by regulating multiple molecular pathways. Here, we investigated miR-300, which inhibited bladder cancer (BCa) migration by regulating the SP1/MMP9 pathway. miR-300, belonging to the DLK1-DIO3 miRNA cluster, is frequently expressed at lower levels in BCa tissue than in adjacent normal tissue due to DNA methylation. Reinforced expression of miR-300 significantly suppressed the migration of BCa cells. We carried out a search of online databases to predict potential targets of miR-300. Further studies determined that miR-300 directly targeted SP1 and suppressed its expression by specifically binding to its 3ʹ-untranslated region. Meanwhile, downregulated MMP9 may be the final effector of BCa cell mobility. Small interference RNAs silencing SP1 phenocopied the effects of miR-300 overexpression, while restoration of SP1 expression partially rescued the inhibition of metastasis induced by miR-300 overexpression in BCa cells. In conclusion, we unveiled a miR-300/SP1/MMP9 pathway in BCa. These findings demonstrate that miR-300 is a promising tumor suppressor in BCa.

description: Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, requiring the rapid mobilization of many tools and approaches from across society. Machine learning has been proposed as one such tool, with the potential to supplement and strengthen existing climate change efforts. In this thesis, we provide several directions for the principled design and use of machine-learning-based methods (with a particular focus on deep learning) to address climate-relevant problems in the electric power sector. In the first part of this thesis, we present statistical and optimization-based approaches to estimate critical quantities on power grids. Specifically, we employregression-based tools to assess the climate- and health related emissions factors that are used to evaluate power system interventions. We also propose a matrix completion-based method for estimating voltages on power distribution systems, to enable the integration of distributed solar power. Motivated by insights from this work, in the second part of this thesis, we focus on the design of deep learning methods that explicitly capture the physics, hard constraints, and domain knowledge relevant to the settings in which they are employed. In particular, we leverage the toolkit of implicit layers in deep learning to design forecasting methods that are cognizant of the downstream (stochastic) decision-making processes for which a model’s outputs will be used. We additionally design fast, feasibility-preserving neural approximators for optimization problems with hard constraints, as well as deep learning-based controllers that provably enforce the stability criteria or operational constraints associated with the systems in which they are deployed. These methods are directly applicable to problems in electric power systems, as well as being more broadly relevant for other physical and safety-critical domains. While part two demonstrates how power systems can yield fruitful directions for deep learning research, in the last part of this thesis, we demonstrate vice versa how insights from deep learning can yield fruitful directions for research in power systems. Specifically, we show how methods inspired by the implicit layers literature can be used to assess policy-relevant inverse problems on the power grid. We further show how combining insights from implicit layers and adversarially robust deep learning can allow us to provide scalable heuristic solutions to two central problems in power systems – N-k security constrained optimal power flow and stochastic optimal power flow – that have seldom been addressed at realistic scale due to their computational intractability. Overall, this thesis demonstrates how bridging insights from deep learning and electric power systems can help significantly advance methods in both fields, in addition to addressing high-impact problems of relevance to climate action.
Electromagnetic wave propagation in an almost circular bundle of closely packed, metallic, carbon nanotubes

description: An equivalent-multishell approach for the approximate calculation of the characteristics of electromagnetic waves propagating in almost circular (azimuthally symmetric), closely packed bundles of parallel, identical, and metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) yields results in reasonably good agreement with a many-body technique, for infinitely long bundles when the number of CNTs is moderately high. The slow-wave coefficients for azimunthally symmetric guided waves increase with the number of metallic CNTs in the bundle, tending for thick bundles to unity, which is characteristic of macroscopic metallic wires. The existence of an azimuthally nonsymmetric guided wave at low frequencies in a bundle of a large number of finite-length CNTs stands in contrast to the characteristics of guided-wave propagation in a single CNT. The equivalent-multishell approach yields the polarizability scalar and the antenna efficiency of a bundle of finite-length CNTs in the long-wavelength regime over a wide frequency range spanning the terahertz and the near-infrared regimes. Edge effects give rise to geometric resonances in such bundles. The antenna efficiency of a CNT bundle at the first resonance can exceed that of a single CNT by four orders of magnitude, which is promising for the design and development of CNT-bundle antennas and composite materials containing CNT-bundles as inclusions.

description: Purpose: Puberty is a developmentally plastic phase. Variations in pubertal tempo have implications for the risk of later adult diseases. Influences on pubertal tempo have been widely discussed, but the underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. Epigenetic modifications are known to regulate development processes; they could play an important role in affecting pubertal outcomes. We conducted a population-based analysis to investigate the association of peripubertal blood DNA methylation at LINE-1 and growth-related candidate genes with pubertal onset and progression in healthy adolescents. Methods: The analytic sample included 114 males and 129 females aged 10 to 18 years. DNA methylation at growth-related candidate loci IGF2, H19, HSD11B2, as well as LINE-1 repetitive elements were quantified. Cox survival and ordinal regression models were used to examine sex- and locus-specific associations of epigenetic markers with pubertal development using physician-assessed Tanner stages and self-reported menarche, adjusted for covariates. Results: Among boys, DNA methylation at H19 was associated with later pubarche. HSD11B2 methylation was associated with earlier onset of pubic hair and genitalia development and slower pubertal progression. IGF2 was associated with later onset of genital development. Among girls, LINE-1 methylation was associated with later onset of breast development. For each percent increase of methylation at H19, there was 5% increased odds in the earlier onset of breast development. DNA methylation of IGF2 was associated with earlier onset of pubic hair. Conclusions: DNA methylation at genes known to influence early-life growth may also influence pubertal outcomes.

description: This study will examine how school-based perceived racial discrimination in middle school impacts long-term academic outcomes for African American adolescents via the mediator of depression. The present study will test this model using data from a sample of African American students within the Maryland Adolescent Development in Context Study (MADICS), a public use data set collected from 1991-2000. Three separate waves will be examined (a) 8th grade (N = 533); (b) 11th grade (N = 399); (c) one year after high school (N = 243). Measures in this study are all self-report and include school-based perceived racial discrimination from teachers and peers (8th grade), depressive symptoms (8th and 11th grade), and the academic outcomes of high school graduation and academic ability self-concept (1 yr. after high school) from youth self-reports.

description: We define a higher spin alternating sign matrix to be an integer-entry square matrix in which, for a nonnegative integer r, all complete row and column sums are r, and all partial row and column sums extending from each end of the row or column are nonnegative. Such matrices correspond to configurations of spin r/2 statistical mechanical vertex models with domain-wall boundary conditions. The case r=1 gives standard alternating sign matrices, while the case in which all matrix entries are nonnegative gives semimagic squares. We show that the higher spin alternating sign matrices of size n are the integer points of the r-th dilate of an integral convex polytope of dimension (n-1)^2 whose vertices are the standard alternating sign matrices of size n. It then follows that, for fixed n, these matrices are enumerated by an Ehrhart polynomial in r.

description: A remarkably simple regularity in the energies of 0+ states in a broad class of collective models is discussed. A single formula for all 0+ states in flat-bottomed infinite potentials that depends only on the number of dimensions and a simpler expression applicable to all three IBA symmetries in the large boson number limit are presented. Finally, a connection between the energy expression for 0+ states given by the X(5) model and the predictions of the IBA near the critical point is explored.

Instructor competencies required for effective fieldwork supervision of occupational therapy and physical therapy students
Creators: name: Ryan, Susan Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The absence of clearly defined competencies to guide the development of educational programs for occupational therapy and physical therapy fieldwork instructors provided the impetus for this research. A primary objective of the study was to identify the competency categories and the competencies which occupational therapy and physical therapy fieldwork instructors, and occupational therapy and physical therapy students perceived to be important in determining the effectiveness of a student's fieldwork experience. A review of the literature in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and related health professions identified a pool of fieldwork instructor competencies from which 105 competencies were selected for the study questionnaire. The questionnaire was administered to 34 occupational therapy and 37 physical therapy students from the University of British Columbia, and to 59 occupational therapy and 76 physical therapy fieldwork instructors in British Columbia. A response rate of 87% was obtained. Respondents' ratings of importance of the competency categories and of the most important competencies were similar to previous research findings. Communication and supervisory behaviours were rated as most important in contributing to the effectiveness of a student's fieldwork experience. The majority of the competencies which were ranked as most important belonged to these two categories. Consistent with previous research, the professional competence category and the competencies which were assigned to it were deemed least important in contributing to the effectiveness of a student's fieldwork experience. Group differences in ratings of importance were tested using a factorial design. The two-way and three-way analyses of variance, a multivariate analysis of variance and subsequent multiple comparison tests revealed only one significant main effect. Physical therapy students' ratings of importance differed significantly from the occupational therapy and physical therapy fieldwork instructors (p< .05). While this significant difference was identified from the analysis, examination of the mean ratings of the competencies showed a consistent pattern of low, moderate or high ratings among all of the groups. Participants in the study confirmed that the competencies included in the questionnaire were important in contributing to the effectiveness of a student's fieldwork experience. However, the literature suggests that the most important outcome will be the use of the competencies to guide the development of standardized educational programs for occupational therapy and physical therapy fieldwork instructors.

description: Neutral pion transverse momentum spectra were measured in p+C and p+Pb collisions at sqrt{s_NN} = 17.4 GeV at mid-rapidity 2.3 < eta_lab < 3.0 over the range 0.7< p_T < 3.5 GeV/c. The spectra are compared to pi0 spectra measured in Pb+Pb collisions at sqrt{s_NN} = 17.3 GeV in the same experiment. For a wide range of Pb+Pb centralities (N_part < 300) the yield of pi0's with p_T > 2 GeV/c is larger than or consistent with the p+C or p+Pb yields scaled with the number of nucleon-nucleon collisions (N_coll), while for central Pb+Pb collisions with N_part > 350 the pi0 yield is suppressed.

description: Magnetic properties with chains of hcp Co hollow spheres have been studied. The diameter of the spheres ranges from 500 to 800 nm, with a typical shell thickness of about 60 nm. The shell is polycrystalline with an average crystallite size of 20 to 35 nm. The blocking temperature determined by the zero-field-cooling MZFC(T) measurement at H = 90 Oe is about 325 K. The corresponding effective anisotropy is determined as, Keff = 4.6*10^4 J/m^3. In addition, the blocking temperature and the effective anisotropy determined by the analysis on HC(T) are 395 K and 5.7*10^4 J/m^3, respectively. The experimentally determined anisotropy is smaller by one order of magnitude than the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the bulk hcp Co, which is about 3 to 5*10^5 J/m^3. A further analysis on HC(T) shows that the magnetization reversal follows a nucleation rotational mode with an effective switching volume, V* = 2.3*10^3 nm^3. The corresponding effective diameter is calculated as 16.4 nm. It is slightly larger than the coherence length of Co, about 15 nm. The possible reason for the much reduced magnetic anisotropy is discussed briefly.

$AdS_5 \times S^5$ supergravity vertex operators

description: In any type II superstring background, the supergravity vertex operators in the pure spinor formalism are described by a gauge superfield. In this paper, we obtain for the first time an explicit expression for this superfield in an $AdS_5 \times S^5$ background. Previously, the vertex operators were only known close to the boundary of $AdS_5$ or in the minus eight picture. Our strategy for the computation was to apply eight picture raising operators in the minus eight picture vertices. In the process, a huge number of terms are generated and we have developed numerical techniques to perform intermediary simplifications. Alternatively, the same numerical techniques can be used to compute the vertices directly in the zero picture by constructing a basis of invariants and fitting for the coefficients. One motivation for constructing the vertex operators is the computation of $AdS_5 \times S^5$ string amplitudes.

description: Reports that communication and behavioral issues contribute to inadequately performing software teams have fuelled a wealth of research aimed at understanding the human processes employed during software development. The increasing level of interest in human issues is particularly relevant for agile and global software development approaches that emphasize the importance of people and their interactions during projects. While mature analysis techniques in behavioral psychology have been recommended for studying such issues, particularly when using archives and artifacts, these techniques have rarely been used in software engineering research. We utilize these techniques under an embedded case study approach to examine whether IBM Rational Jazz practitioners' behaviors change over project duration and whether certain tasks affect teams' attitudes and behaviors. We found highest levels of project engagement at project start and completion, as well as increasing levels of team collectiveness as projects progressed. Additionally, Jazz practitioners were most insightful and perceptive at the time of project scoping. Further, Jazz teams' attitudes and behaviors varied in line with the nature of the tasks they were performing. We explain these findings and discuss their implications for software project governance and tool design.

description: Background: Pain affects 60% of the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) population. Despite being an early and debilitating symptom, it is poorly characterized and management is suboptimal. This study aimed to develop an ADPKD-specific pain assessment tool (APAT) to facilitate pain research. Methods: Following a systematic review of PATs used in ADPKD studies and against international recommendations for pain trials, our multi-disciplinary team of clinical experts and patients constructed an ADPKD-pain conceptual framework of key pain evaluation themes. We compiled a new APAT covering domains prioritized within our framework using components of questionnaires validated in other chronic pain disorders. The APAT was administered longitudinally within a randomized high-water intake trial (NCT02933268) to ascertain feasibility and provide pilot data on ADPKD pain. Results: Thirty-nine ADPKD participants with chronic kidney disease Stages 1-4 provided 129 APAT responses. Each participant completed a median of 3 (range 1-10) assessments. Respondents' mean ± standard deviation age was 47 ± 13 years; 59% (23) were female; and 69% (27) had enlarged kidneys with median time from diagnosis 14.2 (interquartile range 7.0-25.9) years. Pain (52%) and associated analgesic use (29%) were common. Pain severity was associated with increasing age [odds ratio (OR) = 1.07, P = 0.009], female gender (OR = 4.34, P = 0.018), estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (OR = 5.45, P = 0.021) and hypertension (OR = 12.11, P = 0.007), but not with kidney size (P = 0.23). The APAT achieved good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficient = 0.91) and test-retest reliability (domain intra-class correlation coefficients ranging from 0.62 to 0.90). Conclusions: The APAT demonstrated good acceptability and reliability, and following further validation in a larger cohort could represent an invaluable tool for future ADPKD pain studies.

description: Neural networks can be regarded as a new programming paradigm, i.e., instead of building ever-more complex programs through (often informal) logical reasoning in the programmers' mind, complex 'AI' systems are built by optimising generic neural network models with big data. In this new paradigm, AI frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch play a key role, which is as essential as the compiler for traditional programs. It is known that the lack of a proper semantics for programming languages (such as C), i.e., a correctness specification for compilers, has contributed to many problematic program behaviours and security issues. While it is in general hard to have a correctness specification for compilers due to the high complexity of programming languages and their rapid evolution, we have a unique opportunity to do it right this time for neural networks (which have a limited set of functions, and most of them have stable semantics). In this work, we report our effort on providing a correctness specification of neural network frameworks such as TensorFlow. We specify the semantics of almost all TensorFlow layers in the logical programming language Prolog. We demonstrate the usefulness of the semantics through two applications. One is a fuzzing engine for TensorFlow, which features a strong oracle and a systematic way of generating valid neural networks. The other is a model validation approach which enables consistent bug reporting for TensorFlow models.

description: We update the D3/D7-brane inflation model on K3 x T^2/Z_2 with branes and fluxes. For this purpose, we study the low energy theory including g_s corrections to the gaugino condensate superpotential that stabilizes the K3 volume modulus. The gauge kinetic function is verified to become holomorphic when the original N=2 supersymmetry is spontaneously broken to N=1 by bulk fluxes. From the underlying classical N=2 supergravity, the theory inherits a shift symmetry which provides the inflaton with a naturally flat potential. We analyze the fate of this shift symmetry after the inclusion of quantum corrections. The field range of the inflaton is found to depend significantly on the complex structure of the torus but is independent of its volume. This allows for a large kinematical field range for the inflaton. Furthermore, we show that the D3/D7 model may lead to a realization of the recent CMB fit by Hindmarsh et al. with an 11% contribution from cosmic strings and a spectral index close to n_s=1. On the other hand, by a slight change of the parameters of the model one can strongly suppress the cosmic string contribution and reduce the spectral index n_s to fit the WMAP5 data in the absence of cosmic strings. We also demonstrate that the inclusion of quantum corrections allows for a regime of eternal D3/D7 inflation.
