description: Some theories predict that the filling factor 5/2 fractional quantum Hall state can exhibit non-Abelian statistics, which makes it a candidate for fault-tolerant topological quantum computation. Although the non-Abelian Pfaffian state and its particle-hole conjugate, the anti-Pfaffian state, are the most plausible wave functions for the 5/2 state, there are a number of alternatives with either Abelian or non-Abelian statistics. Recent experiments suggest that the tunneling exponents are more consistent with an Abelian state rather than a non-Abelian state. Here, we present edge-current-tunneling experiments in geometrically confined quantum point contacts, which indicate that Abelian and non-Abelian states compete at filling factor 5/2. Our results are consistent with a transition from an Abelian state to a non-Abelian state in a single quantum point contact when the confinement is tuned. Our observation suggests that there is an intrinsic non-Abelian 5/2 ground state, but that the appropriate confinement is necessary to maintain it. This observation is important not only for understanding the physics of the 5/2 state, but also for the design of future topological quantum computation devices.

description: In this paper, which is the first in a series of papers associated with cataclysmic variables and related objects, we introduce the CATUABA code, a numerical machinery written for analysis of the MOCCA simulations, and show some first results by investigating the present-day population of cataclysmic variables in globular clusters. Emphasis was given on their properties and the observational selection effects when observing and detecting them. In this work we analysed in this work six models, including three with Kroupa distributions of the initial binaries. We found that for models with Kroupa initial distributions, considering the standard value of the efficiency of the common envelope phase adopted in BSE, no single cataclysmic variable was formed only via binary stellar evolution, i. e., in order to form them, strong dynamical interactions have to take place. We show and explain why this is inconsistent with observational and theoretical results. Our results indicate that the population of cataclysmic variables in globular clusters is, mainly, in the last stage of their evolution and observational selection effects can drastically change the expected number of observed cataclysmic variables. We show that the probability of observing them during the outbursts is extremely small and conclude that the best way of looking for cataclysmic variables in globular clusters is by searching for variabilities during quiescence, instead of during outbursts. For that, one would need a very deep observation which could reach magnitudes $\gtrsim$ 27 mag. Finally, we argue that cataclysmic variables in globular clusters are not necessarily magnetic.

description: The efficiency of the human brain in performing classification tasks has attracted considerable research interest in brain-inspired neuromorphic computing. Hardware implementations of a neuromorphic system aims to mimic the computations in the brain through interconnection of neurons and synaptic weights. A leaky-integrate-fire (LIF) spiking model is widely used to emulate the dynamics of neuronal action potentials. In this work, we propose a spin based LIF spiking neuron using the magneto-electric (ME) switching of ferro-magnets. The voltage across the ME oxide exhibits a typical leaky-integrate behavior, which in turn switches an underlying ferro-magnet. Due to the effect of thermal noise, the ferro-magnet exhibits probabilistic switching dynamics, which is reminiscent of the stochasticity exhibited by biological neurons. The energy-efficiency of the ME switching mechanism coupled with the intrinsic non-volatility of ferro-magnets result in lower energy consumption, when compared to a CMOS LIF neuron. A device to system-level simulation framework has been developed to investigate the feasibility of the proposed LIF neuron for a hand-written digit recognition problem

description: We present results of single-epoch very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of gamma-ray bright active galactic nuclei (AGNs) using the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) at 22, 43, 86, and 129~GHz bands, which are part of a KVN key science program, Interferometric Monitoring of Gamma-ray Bright AGNs (iMOGABA). We selected a total of 34 radio-loud AGNs of which 30 sources are gamma-ray bright AGNs with flux densities of $>6\times10^{-10}$~ph~cm$^{-2}$~s$^{-1}$. Single-epoch multi-frequency VLBI observations of the target sources were conducted during a 24-hr session on 2013 November 19 and 20. All observed sources were detected and imaged at all frequency bands with or without a frequency phase transfer technique which enabled the imaging of 12 faint sources at 129~GHz, except for one source. Many of the target sources are resolved on milliarcsecond scales, yielding a core-jet structure with the VLBI core dominating the synchrotron emission on the milliarcsecond scale. CLEAN flux densities of the target sources are 0.43-28~Jy, 0.32-21~Jy, 0.18-11~Jy, and 0.35-8.0~Jy in the 22, 43, 86, and 129~GHz bands, respectively.

The Weak Convergence of TCP Bandwidth Sharing

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: TCP is the dominating transmission protocol in the Internet since decades. It proved its flexibility to adapt to unknown and changing network conditions. A distinguished TCP feature is the comparably fair resource sharing. Unfortunately, this abstract fairness is frequently misinterpreted as convergence towards equal sharing rates. In this paper we show in theory as well as in experiment that TCP rate convergence does not exist. Instead, the individual TCP flow rate is persistently fluctuating over a range close to one order of magnitude. The fluctuations are not short term but correlated over long intervals, so that the carried data volume converges rather slowly. The weak convergence does not negate fairness in general. Nevertheless, a particular transmission operation could deviate considerably.

description: Genomic medicine implementation in healthcare systems can bring us one step closer to making personalised medicine a reality, with major socioeconomic benefits. Citizens and patients can widely benefit from genomic data analysis for accurate and timely diagnosis, effective treatments with less adverse events, and accurate profiling for disease prevention. Implementation of genomics in healthcare is complex and requires adjustments in the governance, structure and organization of health services, as well as dedicated investments. Implementation is also dependent on the country context. In the context of the 1+Million Genomes (1+MG) initiative, we developed a Maturity Level Model (MLM) for health systems to self-evaluate the maturity of their genomic medicine practices, and define a path to optimization. MLM is a tool for healthcare systems to self-evaluate the level of maturity of their genomic medicine practices according to a common matrix, and to define a path to optimization. A MLM pilot in eight European countries provided important information regarding common strengths, weaknesses and asymmetries across Europe.

description: We theoretically investigate the origin of the peak structure around the $K^{-} p p$ threshold observed in the in-flight ${}^{3}\text{He} ( K^{-} , \, Λp ) n$ reaction in the recent E15 experiment at J-PARC. For this purpose, we consider two scenarios to produce the peak. One is that the $Λ(1405)$ is generated but it does not correlate with $p$, and the uncorrelated $Λ(1405) p$ system subsequently decays into $Λp$. The other one is that the $\bar{K} N N$ bound state is indeed generated and decays into $Λp$. As a result, the experimental signal is qualitatively well reproduced in the $\bar{K} N N$ bound scenario, definitely discarding the uncorrelated $Λ(1405) p$ one.

description: We analyse the cluster luminosity functions (CLFs) of the youngest star clusters in three galaxies exhibiting prominent circumnuclear starburst rings. We focus specifically on NGC 1512 and NGC 6951, for which we have access to H$α$ data that allow us to unambiguously identify the youngest sample clusters. To place our results on a firm statistical footing, we first explore in detail a number of important technical issues affecting the process from converting the observational data into the spectral-energy distributions of the objects in our final catalogues. The CLFs of the young clusters in both galaxies exhibit approximate power-law behaviour down to the 90 per cent observational completeness limits, thus showing that star cluster formation in the violent environments of starburst rings appears to proceed similarly as that elsewhere in the local Universe. We discuss this result in the context of the density of the interstellar medium in our starburst-ring galaxies.

Impact of a Self-Determination Intervention on the Reading Fluency of Struggling Elementary Students
Creators: name: Clark, Anne
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Struggling readers are likely to face life-long challenges in achieving success in school and life as a result of their struggles with reading (Armbruster et al., 2001; Arnold, 2010; Hernandez, 2011). Third-grade students with reading disabilities are an exceptionally critical group who may experience enhanced risk during the year that the focus of schooling switches from learning to read to reading to learn (Lesnick et al., 2010). Students with learning disabilities need a robust rate of improvement to close the gap with their peers and access grade-level content. Oral reading fluency (ORF), assessed using reading-curriculum-based measures (R-CBM), provides a standardized measure of a student's overall progress in reading, including the rate of improvement (Roehrig et al., 2008). By the end of first grade, poor readers will likely experience significant and declining levels of motivation and engagement (Armbruster et al., 2001; Didion, 2019; Stanovich, 1986; Toste et al., 2020). Confidence in reading, or a student's view of themselves as readers, is integral to reading achievement and thus has been added as a vital component of the Nation's Report Card on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reading assessment (NAEP, 2019). Together, these research findings and public policy changes provide evidence that reading skills and self-determination skills such as motivation, engagement, and confidence are intertwined and affect one another. Thus, struggling students may need interventions addressing reading and self-determination skill sets to facilitate achievement (Wehmeyer et al., 2017). This single case experimental design study provided a self-determination intervention to three third-grade students with learning disabilities who were already receiving a research-based reading intervention. Intervention procedures were based on the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI) with the training component from Data Mountain. Both programs SUMMARY (Continued) are research-based and teach students to become self-regulated learners through a continual process of goal setting, action planning, progress monitoring, and reflection (Didion, 2019; Shogren et al., 2017). The central research question of this study was whether elementary students with reading disabilities would demonstrate increased oral reading fluency performance (level and trend) when participating in a self-determination intervention. Specifically, the study tested the effects of using the SDLMI and Data Mountain procedures on the ORF growth of third-grade students already receiving an evidence-based reading intervention. Visual inspection and the effect size metric found mixed results on the effectiveness of the intervention. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

description: We report a high-pressure high-temperature synthesis of several millimeter-sized samples of bulk graphanes with the composition C-H(D) from benzene and graphene-derivative C-H-N$_{0.2}$ from pyridine. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy of new materials reveal relatively large (several nanometers in size) crystalline grains of an sp3-bonded graphane lattice (3-cycle-4-step, the orthorhombic structure with Pbca space group and parameters a = 9.5-9.8, b = 8.9-9.1, c = 17.1-17.3 $Å$). The main hydrogen groups in samples are C-H groups connected by aliphatic bonds. The synthesized graphanes at atmospheric pressure are stable up to 500 C. The macroscopic density of CH samples is 1.5-1.57 g cm$^{-3} $ and the refractive index is 1.78-1.80. The absorption spectra of samples with a high degree of crystallization exhibits a weak absorption maximum at 2.8 eV, which is responsible for the yellow-orange color, large absorption maximum at 4 eV and an absorption edge associated with the width of the optical gap at 5.2 eV. The bulk modulus (30-37 GPa) and shear modulus (15-18 GPa) of the fabricated samples, as well as their hardness (1-1.5 GPa), are about twice as high as the respective values for polycrystalline graphite. The solution of metalorganic complexes in benzene and pyridine makes it possible to obtain doped graphanes, which can have extraordinary electron transport and magnetic properties.

Detection of Cannabidiol on Glass Surfaces Following Vaporization
Creators: name: Davalos Romero, Karen I
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Cannabis is the most used recreational drug worldwide, and with its steady legalization and decriminalization, there is a need for research to better understand how it affects users as well as non-users in order to provide information for evidence-based policies. Second-hand cannabis smoke and vapor can lead to third-hand exposure, where residual smoke pollutants remain on surfaces following exposure. Similar to tobacco, second-hand exposure from cannabis smoke and vapor has been described in the literature. However, there is need for further research on cannabis third-hand exposure. The purpose of this study is to investigate if CBD can be detected on a glass surface following exposure to cannabis vapor. CBD-rich hemp was used as opposed to THC-rich “drug-type” cannabis due to legal restrictions on research using THC and to the school environment in which these experiments were conducted. Glass panels were exposed to cannabis vapor in increments of 1, 5, 10, and 20 minutes. The glass sections were swabbed, and methanol extraction was used to extract the CBD from the swabs. Furthermore, the persistence of the CBD residue on the glass was investigated through delayed collection. The process of delayed collection involved allowing the glass panels to sit at room temperature for varying amounts of time following cannabis exposure. The elapsed times tested were 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 120, 168, 336, and 504 hours. Samples underwent both Duquenois-Levine color test and Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GCMS) examination. The Duquenois-Levine color test successfully detected CBD deposition for glass exposed for 20, 10, and 5 minutes at 6 inches from the vapor source. However, the color test could not be used to detect CBD when the glass was exposed at 12 and 18 in. from the vapor source. Persistence of CBD residue could not be measured with the color test, as only samples collected immediately after exposure resulted in a positive test. GCMS data shows CBD deposition on glass exposed at 6, 12, and 18 in. from the vapor source. Furthermore, GCMS data shows that CBD residue could be detected consistently up to 72 hours after exposure when exposed for 20 and 10 minutes at 6 and 12 in. from the vapor source.

description: For the spectral analysis of high-resolution and high-signal-to-noise spectra of hot stars, state-of-the-art non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) model atmospheres are mandatory. These are strongly dependent on the reliability of the atomic data that is used for their calculation. To search for Zr and Xe lines in the ultraviolet (UV) spectra of G191-B2B and RE0503-289, new Zr IV-VII, Xe IV-V, and Xe VIII oscillator strengths were calculated. This allows for the first time, determination of the Zr abundance in white dwarf (WD) stars and improvement of the Xe abundance determinations. We calculated Zr IV-VII, Xe IV-V, and Xe VIII oscillator strengths to consider radiative and collisional bound-bound transitions of Zr and Xe in our NLTE stellar-atmosphere models for the analysis of their lines exhibited in UV observations of the hot WDs G191-B2B and RE0503-289. We identified one new Zr IV, 14 new Zr V, and ten new Zr VI lines in the spectrum of RE0503-289. Zr was detected for the first time in a WD. We measured a Zr abundance of -3.5 +/- 0.2 (logarithmic mass fraction, approx. 11 500 times solar). We dentified five new Xe VI lines and determined a Xe abundance of -3.9 +/- 0.2 (approx. 7500 times solar). We determined a preliminary photospheric Al abundance of -4.3 +/- 0.2 (solar) in RE0503-289. In the spectra of G191-B2B, no Zr line was identified. The strongest Zr IV line (1598.948 A) in our model gave an upper limit of -5.6 +/- 0.3 which is about 100 times solar. No Xe line was identified in the UV spectrum of G191-B2B and we confirmed the previously determined upper limit of -6.8 +/- 0.3 (ten times solar). Precise measurements and calculations of atomic data are a prerequisite for advanced NLTE stellar-atmosphere modeling. Observed Zr IV - VI and Xe VI - VII line profiles in the UV spectrum of RE0503-289 were simultaneously well reproduced.

Improving the Human Genome Annotation Using Integrative Analysis and Deep Learning Methods.
Creators: name: Kefi, Amira
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: The Human Genome Annotation (HGA) file is a database where different features describing elements of the genome (genes, transcripts, etc) are stored. HGA is the process of identifying those elements, characterizing them and elucidating their roles. Currently, HGA is still incomplete because it suffers from missed annotation and mis-annotation. Mis-annotation happens when some elements are wrongly annotated or labeled. Missed annotation happens when some elements are absent from the annotation files due to the limitations of analytical and experimental procedures. On one hand, improved identification of novel genome elements is required to help solve the problem of missed annotation. On the other hand, to address the problem of mis-annotation, better classification methods are needed to characterize and validate the novel elements. This thesis addresses the problem of incomplete human genome annotation and proposes an improved identification and validation approach via integration of second and third generation of sequencing. We apply this integrative approach to detect novel mono-exonic genes (MNEGs) and confirm their transcription and translation. Up until recent studies, MNEGs were thought to be artifacts and were discarded. However, our integrative analysis provided additional evidence for the genuine existence of these genes. In the second part of this project, we used computational methods based on a deep learning framework to validate these findings by characterizing MNEG types and classifying them into either proteins coding RNAs (pcRNAs) or long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Our results showed that the majority of MNEGs are classified as lncRNAs and further investigation suggested that some of them are circRNAs. Finally, this work provides an innovative approach and a unique computational framework to address the problem of incomplete HGA and could be adopted by the annotators in their pipelines. This study is an important step towards the completion and the improvement of the human genome annotation.

description: Recently, Tao and Mo developed a new nonempirical semilocal exchange-correlation density functional. The exchange part of this functional is derived from a density matrix expansion corrected to reproduce the fourth-order gradient expansion in the slowly varying limit, while the correlation part is based on the TPSS correlation model with a modification for the low-density limit. In the present work, the Tao-Mo functional is assessed by calculations on a variety of solids and jellium surfaces. This includes 22 lattice constants and bulk moduli, 7 cohesive energies, and jellium surface exchange and correlation energies for the density parameter rs in the range from 2 to 3 bohrs. Our calculations show that this meta-generalized gradient approximation can yield consistently remarkable accuracy for the properties considered here, with mean absolute errors of 0.017 Å for lattice constants, 7.0 GPa for bulk moduli, 0.08 eV for cohesive energies, and 35 erg/cm2 for surface exchange-correlation energies, substantially improving upon existing nonempirical semilocal density functionals.

Celluloid Reflections: Contrasting Holocaust Narratives in Schindler's List and Life is Beautiful
Creators: name: Mufasir Babu P
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024
Subjects: Holocaust, World War II, Nazi atrocities, human relationships, film analysis.

description: Abstract: The Holocaust has been a traumatic event in the history of humankind, and it has been depicted through a lens of humour, fantasy, and symbolism. The Holocaust narrative refers to a written or spoken account that recounts the experiences, events, and impact of the Holocaust, particularly the systematic genocide carried out by the Nazis during World War II. Life is Beautiful and Schindler’s List, both focus on the theme of the Holocaust and World War II.  Both films explore the Holocaust and differ significantly in their tone, style, and narrative approach. The objective of this paper is to analyze how these films portray the Holocaust and Nazi atrocities by exploring the role of human relationships in providing strength and resilience during periods of extreme crisis.
Edge Mode Amplification in Disordered Elastic Networks

description: We study theoretically and numerically the propagation of a displacement field imposed at the edge of a disordered elastic material. While some modes decay with some inverse penetration depth $κ$, other exponentially {\it amplify} with rate $|κ|$, where $κ$'s are Lyapounov exponents analogous to those governing electronic transport in a disordered conductors. We obtain an analytical approximation for the full distribution $g(κ)$, which decays exponentially for large $|κ|$ and is finite when $κ\rightarrow0$. Our analysis shows that isostatic materials generically act as levers with possibly very large gains, suggesting a novel principle to design molecular machines that behave as elastic amplifiers.

subject: 17B37, 18D10, 81T40

description: For certain roots of unity, we consider the categories of weight modules over three quantum groups: small, un-restricted and unrolled. The first main theorem of this paper is to show that there is a modified trace on the projective modules of the first two categories. The second main theorem is to show that category over the unrolled quantum group is ribbon. Partial results related to these theorems were known previously.

description: A detailed microstructural investigation was performed to understand structural characteristics of a reaction-bonded B$_4$C/SiC ceramic composite. The state-of-the-art focused ion beam & scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the as-fabricated product consisted of core-rim structures with α-SiC and $B_4$C cores surrounded by β-SiC and $B_4$C, respectively. In addition, plate-like β-SiC was detected within the $B_4$C rim. A phase formation mechanism was proposed and the analytical elucidation is anticipated to shed light on potential fabrication optimization and the property improvement of ceramic composites.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: De D3.3 Infochart describing the CHIs DSM readiness Assessment Methodology gathers the infographics that were designed in the project for the development of the CHI readiness assessment methodology - the inDICEs Self-assessment tool - as well as for its dissemination. The graphic designs and representations will be used to convey the key concepts that drive the participatory innovation and its monitoring as is envisaged by inDICEs. They will be used in the final version of our D3.2 deliverable “Deliverable 3.2: Guidelines for CHIs Digital Transformation” and in the upcoming inDICEs MOOC. They will also be used in web communications for the project on the website and social media - Facebook, Twitter and Linked-In, and will be integrated in the participatory platform. The infographics centre on the 4 monitoring domains identified for the self-assessment tool: Digital Trends and Participatory content, Empowering IPR for the commons, Invigorating Collaboration and Organisation Growth, Approaching Innovation and Digital Strategy. The infographics will become powerful communication tools for the project when we start to promote the self-assessment tool and the MOOC. They are meant to be styled in a consistent way, with the aim to appeal to a public of CHI professionals as well as senior management and decision makers. The design has been granted to a professional design bureau. Part 1, “Digital Trends and Participatory content” contains infographics on the regimes of cultural production, the 8 impact areas of Culture 3.0, Data collection and analysis and also highlights project research results in this area. Part 2, “Empowering IPR for the commons, describes 5 steps for CHI’s to take when managing IPR for their collections, in light of their public mission of open access. Part 3, “Invigorating Collaboration and Organisation Growth” features graphics on the need for collaboration and the value creation chain. In the last section, Part 5, “Approaching Innovation and Digital Strategy” a set of 10 visualisations on this topic detail innovative workflows.
Leading Neutrons From Polarized Proton-Nucleus Collisions

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Leading neutron production on protons is known to be subject to strong absorptive corrections, which have been under debate for a long time. On nuclear targets these corrections are significantly enhanced and push the partial cross sections of neutron production to the very periphery of the nucleus. As a result, the A-dependences of inclusive and diffractive neutron production turn out to be similar. The mechanism of π-a_1 interference, which successfully explained the observed single-spin asymmetry of neutrons in polarized pp interactions, is extended here to polarized pA collisions. Corrected for nuclear effects it explains well the magnitude and sign of the asymmetry A_N observed in inelastic events, resulting in a violent break up of the nucleus. However the excessive magnitude of A_N observed in the diffractive sample, remains a challenge.

Evaluating the Quality of the Core Entrustable Professional Activities for New Pharmacy Graduates
Creators: name: Elmes, Abigail T
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: In this prospective cohort study, the quality of the Core Entrustable Professional Activities for New Pharmacy Graduates (Core EPAs) developed by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) in 2017 was assessed utilizing the Queen’s EPA Quality (EQual) Rubric. Of the 205 identified pharmacists with EPA expertise, nine responded and applied the EQual rubric to each of the Core EPAs. Respondents also offered recommendations for EPA revision. Most of the Core EPAs (9/15) did not reach acceptability cut-off scores, indicating a need for revision. All five EPAs within the Patient Care Provider Core EPA Domain met acceptability cut-offs. The low overall score was mainly driven by low scores in EQual Domain 1 that measures an EPA as a discrete unit of work. This suggests that the wording of the task could be revised to better align with EPA characteristics set forth by the EQual rubric, rather than revising the activity itself. This study highlights the need to integrate quality assessment into processes for EPA development and revision.

description: Abstract: The study of doormat in Nothern Nigeria reveals the nuanced layers of cultural symbolism embedded within these seemingly mundane household items. Drawing from diverse scholarly perspectives, such as McLuhan’s theory of media ecology and anthropological insights from Douglas and shaping societal norms, values, and power dynamics. Positioned at the threshold between public and private spaces, doormats serve as tangible conduits of communication, conveying messages of hospitality, cleanliness, and social status. Moreover, the gendered symbolism of doormats reflects entrenched expectations surrounding gender roles and domestic responsibilities within Northern Nigerian culture. The commercialization of the doormat industry further exposes economic disparities and labor exploitation, while advertising influences consumer perceptions and preferences, shaping cultural narratives surrounding doormats. Through a critical media ecology lens, this study offers insights into how doormats mediate social interactions, embody cultural identities, and mirror broader societal structure in northern Nigeria.
