description: Using a specialized technique sensitive to the presence of expanding ionized gas we have detected a set of three concentric expanding shells in an HII region in the nearby spiral galaxy M33. After mapping the kinematics in Hα with Fabry-Perot spectroscopy we used slit spectra to measure the intensities of the [SII] doublet at λλ 671.9, 673.1 nm and the [NII] doublet at λλ 645.8, 658.3 nm to corroborate the kinematics and apply diagnostic tests using line ratios. These showed that the expanding shells are shock dominated as would be the case if they had originated with supernova explosions. Estimating their kinetic energies we find fairly low values, indicating a fairly advanced stage of evolution. We obtain density, mass and parent star mass estimates, which, along with the kinetic energies, are inconsistent with the simplest models of shock-interstellar medium interaction. We propose that the presence and properties of an inhomogeneous medium offer a scenario which can account for these observations, and discuss the implications. Comparing our results with data from the literature supports the combined presence of an HII region and supernova remnant material at the observed position.

description: We present a variational study of the spin-1 Bose gases in a harmonic trap with three-dimensional spin-orbit coupling of Weyl type. For weak spin-orbit coupling, we treat the single-particle ground states as the form of perturbational harmonic oscillator states in the lowest total angular momentum manifold with $j=1, m_j=1,0,-1$. When the two-body interaction is considered, we set the trail order parameter as the superposition of three degenerate single-particle ground-states and the weight coefficients are determined by minimizing the energy functional. Two ground state phases, namely the magnetic and the nematic phases, are identified depending on the spin-independent and the spin-dependent interactions. Unlike the non-spin-orbit-coupled spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate for which the phase boundary between the magnetic and the nematic phase lies exactly at zero spin-dependent interaction, the boundary is modified by the spin-orbit-coupling. We find the magnetic phase is featured with phase-separated density distributions, 3D skyrmion-like spin textures and competing magnetic and biaxial nematic orders, while the nematic phase is featured with miscible density distributions, zero magnetization and spatially modulated uniaxial nematic order. The emergence of higher spin order creates new opportunities for exploring spin-tensor-related physics in spin-orbit coupled superfluid.

cognitive screening
psychometrics of tests

description: Objectives: Compared to its alternatives (e.g., Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE] and Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA]), little is known about the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Saint Louis University Mental Status (SLUMS) Examination. The purpose of the current study is to describe the internal consistency, factor structure, and temporal stability of the SLUMS, a widely used cognitive screening measure. Methods: We examined the SLUMS of 108 mostly White male Veterans seen for home-based primary care services, 101 of whom had complete data and 28 who completed retesting approximately one year later. Results: At time one, Veterans averaged 76.44 (SD = 9.88) years of age and 13.07 (SD = 2.26) years of formal education. Results indicated that the SLUMS had acceptable internal consistency (α = .709) and temporal stability (ρ =.723), with strongest evidence for a one-factor structure. Conclusions: The SLUMS appears to have adequate reliability and clear one-factor structure in this sample. Additional research with diverse samples is needed to characterize the psychometrics of the SLUMS more comprehensively. Clinical Implications: The SLUMS appears to be an efficient method for approximating global cognitive functioning among medically complex older adults.
Diameters of graphs related to groups and base sizes of primitive groups

subject: Finite simple groups

description: In this thesis, we study three problems. First, we determine new bounds for base sizes b(G,Ω) of primitive subspace actions of finite almost simple classical groups G. Such base sizes are useful statistics in computational group theory. We show that if the underlying set Ω consists of k-dimensional subspaces of the natural module V = F_q^n for G, then b(G,Ω) ≥ ⌈n/k⌉ + c, where c ∈ {-2,-1,0,1} depends on n, q, k and the type of G. If instead Ω consists of pairs {X,Y} of subspaces of V with k:=dim(X) < dim(Y), and G is generated by PGL(n,q) and the graph automorphism of PSL(n,q), then b(G,Ω) ≤ max{⌈n/k⌉,4}. The second part of the thesis concerns the intersection graph Δ_G of a finite simple group G. This graph has vertices the nontrivial proper subgroups of G, and its edges are the pairs of subgroups that intersect nontrivially. We prove that Δ_G has diameter at most 5, and that a diameter of 5 is achieved only by the graphs of the baby monster group and certain unitary groups of odd prime dimension. This answers a question posed by Shen. Finally, we study the non-commuting, non-generating graph Ξ(G) of a group G, where G/Z(G) is either finite or non-simple. This graph is closely related to the hierarchy of graphs introduced by Cameron. The graph's vertices are the non-central elements of G, and its edges are the pairs {x,y} such that ⟨x, y⟩ ≠ G and xy ≠ yx. We show that if Ξ(G) has an edge, then either the graph is connected with diameter at most 5; the graph has exactly two connected components, each of diameter 2; or the graph consists of isolated vertices and a component of diameter at most 4. In this last case, either the nontrivial component has diameter 2, or G/Z(G) is a non-simple insoluble primitive group with every proper quotient cyclic.

description: Background: The brain naturally declines in function as we age. Cognitive functions can begin to diminish in healthy adults beginning as early as the third decade of life, with significant changes in brain volume starting around 70 years of age. Our memories can be categorized as episodic, which are memories that are autobiographical or personally experienced, or procedural, which are skills or habitual memories. The neurological systems that support these forms of memory were once thought to be entirely separate and independent of each other. However, recent evidence shows that introducing an interfering procedural task can interrupt the consolidation of an episodic task, meaning these systems may have interactions with each other. With the aforementioned changes in the aging brain, it can be assumed that this may cause alterations in the interactions between these memory systems. Methods: Participants (n=15) of varying ages came to the laboratory on three separate days. Each day participants learned a word list (episodic memory) followed by either a procedural, finger tapping task that had a learning (sequence) condition or control condition. Participants were retested on the episodic memory task after 12 hours of wake. The next day was identical, except that the secondary task was the one they had not performed on Day 1. Findings: Participants performed qualitatively worse after the sequence procedural task than after the control procedural task, but the difference in performance was not significant (t(13)=0.5758, p = 0.5832). Significant learning was shown in the sequence version of the procedural task, through the improvements in reaction time (RT) ((t(14)=2.875, p < 0.05). We found a trend towards a positive correlation between learning in the sequence task and the interference score (quantified as sequence interference - control interference; r= 0.483, p = 0.06). Interference scores were not significantly correlated with age (r = 0.289, ns). Conclusion: These results show a nonsignificant effect of procedural learning on episodic memory. However, the influence of age on interference cannot be concluded from these results. Future studies will need a more diverse age range of participants to further investigate if age impacts the effects of procedural learning on episodic memory.

description: The augmentation of landmarks in auditory navigation instructions has been shown to improve incidental spatial knowledge acquisition during assisted navigation. Here, two driving simulator experiments are reported that replicated this effect even when adding a three-week delay between navigation and spatial tasks and varying the degree of detail in the provided landmark information. Performance in free- and cued-recall of landmarks and driving the route again without assistance demonstrated increased landmark and route knowledge when navigating with landmark-based compared to common GPS instructions. The results emphasize that adding auditory landmark references to existing navigation systems can potentiate processing of spatial features of the environment during every-day navigation.
Origins and Interpretation of Tidal Debris

description: The stellar debris structures that have been discovered around the Milky Way and other galaxies are thought to be formed from the disruption of satellite stellar systems --- dwarf galaxies or globular clusters --- by galactic tidal fields. The total stellar mass in these structures is typically tiny compared to the galaxy around which they are found, and it is hence easy to dismiss them as inconsequential. However, they are remarkably useful as probes of a galaxy's history (as described in this chapter) and mass distribution (covered in a companion chapter in this volume). This power is actually a consequence of their apparent insignificance: their low contribution to the overall mass makes the physics that describes them both elegant and simple and this means that their observed properties are relatively easy to understand and interpret.

description: Harvested Wood Products (HWP) may contribute to climate change mitigation by storing carbon and by replacing energy-intensive materials and fossil energy, reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. However, when assessing improved HWP utilizations, interactions between wood use pathways, the carbon stock dynamics, and the resulting effect on the GHG balance are still not well understood. This research aims to assess the carbon sequestration effects of alternative wood product utilizations in four EU countries. We conducted a material flow analysis of wood uses in France, Finland, Germany, and Spain for 2017 taking into account national production, imports, and exports. Then, we quantified the future dynamics of carbon stock in the HWP through time, assuming the same as in 2017 input and ignoring the forest sink. We then ran six alternative scenarios: two energy-focused (Energy, Energy+), two material-focused (Cascading, Material), one with extended half-life of the wood products (HL) and one as business as usual (BAU). For the simulation period (2020–2050), the Material scenario leads to the highest mitigation benefits with a cumulative HWP net carbon accumulation of -502 Mt CO2 for Germany, -290 Mt CO2 for France, -118 Mt CO2 for Spain, and -116 Mt CO2 for Finland over the 30 years. The Energy+ scenario with an increase in wood usage for bioenergy generates a loss of the HWP pool of 351, 80, 77, and 6 Mt CO2 for the same countries, not accounting for energy substitution effects. Overall, our results suggest that the HWP carbon stock can be increased in the short-medium term by prioritising the use of wood for material purposes, while maintaining constant harvest. The HWP mitigation potential differed greatly according to national wood industry characteristics. Hence, tailoring the HWP mitigation strategies to the specific characteristics of the national wood chain would enhance the HWP climate benefits.

description: Consumers’ dependence on mobile technology for their daily personal and business dealings has created many new business touchpoints, which in turn bring about novel opportunities for marketers to understand consumers’ behavior and identify ways in which more effective marketing strategies can be utilized. In two essays, this dissertation explores two domains in mobile marketing where new insights can be gained. In the first essay, we leverage data collected from IoT sensors and combine with scanner transaction data to construct and estimate the entire offline conversion funnel for brick-and-mortar retail stores. We uncover the multi-stage effect of the marketing mix, and demonstrate the value of IoT data in enabling customized marketing strategies. In the second essay, we examine what makes mobile marketing communications effective by studying the design elements of app push notifications. We construct a theory-based framework and separate out the treatment effects of proposed design elements using a causal inference machine learning method. Our findings provide guidance for marketing managers on design choice that improves the effectiveness of future push messages.
Tidal Debris as a Dark Matter Probe

description: Tidal debris streams from galaxy satellites can provide insight into the dark matter distribution in halos. This is because we have more information about stars in a debris structure than about a purely random population of stars: we know that in the past they were all bound to the same dwarf galaxy; and we know that they form a dynamically cold population moving on similar orbits. They also probe a different region of the matter distribution in a galaxy than many other methods of mass determination, as their orbits take them far beyond the typical extent of those for the bulk of stars. Although conclusive results from this information have yet to be obtained, significant progress has been made in developing the methodologies for determining both the global mass distribution of the Milky Way's dark matter halo and the amount of dark matter substructure within it. Methods for measuring the halo shape are divided into "predictive methods," which predict the tidal debris properties from the progenitor satellite's mass and orbit, given an assumed parent galaxy mass distribution; and "fundamental methods," which exploit properties fundamental to the nature of tidal debris as global potential constraints. Methods for quantifying the prevalence of dark matter subhalos within halos through the analysis of the gaps left in tidal streams after these substructures pass through them are reviewed.

description: We investigate a graphene quantum pump, adiabatically driven by two thin potential barriers vibrating around their equilibrium positions. For the highly doped leads, the pumped current per mode diverges at the Dirac point due to the more efficient contribution of the evanescent modes in the pumping process. The pumped current shows an oscillatory behavior with an increasing amplitude as a function of the carrier concentration. This effect is in contrast to the decreasing oscillatory behavior of the similar normal pump. The graphene pump driven by two vibrating thin barriers operates more efficient than the graphene pump driven by two oscillating thin barriers.

description: Large scale molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the dispersion of nanoparticles (NPs) in a polymer film during solvent evaporation. As the solvent evaporates, a dense polymer-rich skin layer forms at the liquid/vapor interface, which is either NP rich or poor depending on the strength of the NP/polymer interaction. When the NPs are strongly wet by the polymer, the NPs accumulate at the interface and form layers. However when the NPs are only partially wet by the polymer, most NPs are uniformly distributed in the bulk of the polymer film with the dense skin layer serving as a barrier to prevent the NPs from moving to the interface. Our results point to a possible route to employ less favorable NP/polymer interactions and fast solvent evaporation to uniformly disperse NPs in a polymer film, contrary to the common belief that strong NP/polymer attractions are needed to make NPs well dispersed in polymer nanocomposites.

Our analyses is restricted to elastic collisions. We show the perfect agreement with previously published numerical results for a massless quark- gluon plasma, and give results for the electric conductivity of an interacting hadron gas, employing realistic resonance cross sections. These results for the electric conductivity of a hot hadron gas, as created in (ultra-)relativistic heavy-ion collisions, are of rich phenomenological as well as theoretical interest and can be compared to, e.g., lattice quantum field theory calculations.

We will generalize a result of Bostan, Gaudry and Schost and prove that we may compute the prime factorization of $N$ in \[ \mathcal{O}(\text{M}_{\text{int}}(N^{1/4}\sqrt{\log N})), \] $\text{M}_{\text{int}}(k)$ denoting the cost for multiplying two $k$-bit integers. This result is better than the currently best known general bound for the runtime complexity for deterministic integer factorization.

description: The repeated use of navigation assistance systems leads to decreased processing of the environment. Previous studies demonstrated that auditory references to landmarks in navigation instructions can improve incidental spatial knowledge acquisition when driving a single route through an unfamiliar virtual environment. Based on these results, three experiments were conducted to investigate the generalizability and ecological validity of incidental landmark and route knowledge acquisition induced by landmark-based navigation instructions. In the first experiment, spatial knowledge acquisition was tested after watching an interactive video showing the navigation of a real-world urban route. A second experiment investigated incidental spatial knowledge acquisition during assisted navigation when participants walked through the same real-world, urban environment. The third experiment tested the acquired spatial knowledge two weeks after participants had walked through the real-world environment. All experiments demonstrated better performance in a cued-recall task for participants navigating with landmark-based navigation instructions as compared to standard instructions. Different levels of information provided with landmark-based instructions impacted landmark recognition dependent on the delay between navigation and test. The results replicated an improved landmark and route knowledge when using landmark-based navigation instructions emphasizing that auditory landmark augmentation enhances incidental spatial knowledge acquisition, and that this enhancement can be generalized to real-life settings. This research is paving the way for navigation assistants that, instead of impairing spatial knowledge acquisition, incidentally foster the acquisition of landmark and route knowledge during every-day navigation.

description: We solve the orbitally degenerate two-band Hubbard model within dynamical mean field theory and map out the instabilities to various symmetry-broken phases based on an analysis of the corresponding lattice susceptibilities. Phase diagrams as a function of the Hund coupling parameter J are obtained both for the model with rotationally invariant interaction and for the model with Ising-type anisotropy. For negative J, an intra-orbital spin-singlet superconducting phase appears at low temperatures, while the normal state properties are characterized by an orbital freezing phenomenon. This is the negative-J analogue of the recently discovered fluctuating-moment induced s-wave spin-triplet superconductivity in the spin-freezing regime of multi-orbital models with J>0.

description: Addressing subwavelength object and displacement is crucial in optical nanometrology. We show in this Letter that nano antennas with subwavelength structures can be addressed precisely by incident beams with singularity. This accurate feeding beyond the diffraction limit can lead to dynamic control of the unidirectional scattering in the far field. The combination of polarization discontinuity of the incoming singular beam, along with the rapid phase variation near the antenna leads to remarkable sensitivity of the far field scattering to displacement at deep subwavelength scale. This opens a far field deep subwavelength postion detection method based on the interaction of singular optics with nano antennas.

description: The plasma consisting of confining gluons resulting from the Gribov quantization of the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory is studied using non-equilibrium fluid dynamical framework. Exploiting the Bjorken symmetry and using linear response theory a general analytic expressions for the bulk and shear viscosity coefficients are derived. It is found that the considered system exhibits a number of properties similar to the strongly-coupled theories, where the conformality is explicitly broken. In particular, it is shown that, in the large temperature limit, bulk to shear viscosity ratio, scales linearly with the difference $1/3 - c_s^2$, where $c_s$ is the speed of sound. Results obtained from the analysis are in line with the interpretation of the quark-gluon plasma as an almost perfect fluid.

The next detectors will need to have greater sensitivity, while also enabling the world array of detectors to have improved angular resolution to allow localisation of signal sources. Sect. 1 of this paper begins by reviewing proposals for the next ground based detectors, and presents an analysis of the sensitivity of an 8 km armlength detector, which is proposed as a safe and cost-effective means to attain a 4-fold improvement in sensitivity. The scientific benefits of creating a pair of such detectors in China and Australia is emphasised. Sect. 2 of this paper discusses the high performance suspension systems for test masses that will be an essential component for future detectors, while sect. 3 discusses solutions to the problem of Newtonian noise which arise from fluctuations in gravity gradient forces acting on test masses. Such gravitational perturbations cannot be shielded, and set limits to low frequency sensitivity unless measured and suppressed. Sects. 4 and 5 address critical operational technologies that will be ongoing issues in future detectors. Sect. 4 addresses the design of thermal compensation systems needed in all high optical power interferometers operating at room temperature. Parametric instability control is addressed in sect. 5. Only recently proven to occur in Advanced LIGO, parametric instability phenomenon brings both risks and opportunities for future detectors. The path to future enhancements of detectors will come from quantum measurement technologies. Sect. 6 focuses on the use of optomechanical devices for obtaining enhanced sensitivity, while sect. 7 reviews a range of quantum measurement options.

description: High-mass microquasar jets propagate under the effect of the wind from the companion star, and the orbital motion of the binary system. The stellar wind and the orbit may be dominant factors determining the jet properties beyond the binary scales.} An analytical study is performed to characterize the effects of the stellar wind and the orbital motion on the jet properties. Accounting for the wind thrust transferred to the jet, we derive analytical estimates to characterize the jet evolution under the impact of the stellar wind. We include the Coriolis force effect, induced by orbital motion and enhanced by the wind presence. Large-scale evolution of the jet is sketched accounting for wind-to-jet thrust transfer, total energy conservation, and wind-jet flow mixing. If the angle of the wind-induced jet bending is larger than its half-opening angle, the following is expected: (i) a strong recollimation shock; (ii) bending against orbital motion, caused by Coriolis forces and enhanced by the wind presence; and (iii) non-ballistic helical propagation further away. Even if disrupted, the jet can reaccelerate due to ambient pressure gradients, but wind entrainment can weaken this acceleration. On large scales, the opening angle of the helical structure is determined by the wind-jet thrust relation, and the wind-loaded jet flow can be rather slow. The impact of stellar winds on high-mass microquasar jets can yield non-ballistic helical jet trajectories, jet partial disruption and wind mixing, shocks, and possibly non-thermal emission. Among several observational diagnostics at different bands, the radio morphology on milliarcsecond scales can be particularly insightful regarding the wind-jet interaction.

description: The usefulness and versatility of the PSRSALSA open-source pulsar data-analysis project is demonstrated through an analysis of the radio pulsar B1839-04. This study focuses on the phenomenon of bi-drifting, an effect where the drift direction of subpulses is systematically different in different pulse profile components. Bi-drifting is extremely rare in the pulsar population. Various tools in PSRSALSA, including those allowing quantification of periodicities in the subpulse modulation, their flux distribution, and polarization properties, are exploited to obtain a comprehensive picture of the radio properties of PSR B1839-04. In particular, the second harmonic in the fluctuation spectra of the subpulse modulation is exploited to convincingly demonstrate the existence of bi-drifting. Bi-drifting is confirmed with a completely independent method allowing the average modulation cycle to be determined. Polarization measurements were used to obtain a robust constraint on the magnetic inclination angle of less than 35 deg. Two distinct emission modes are discovered to be operating, with periodic subpulse modulation being present only during the weaker mode. Despite the variability of the modulation cycle and interruption by mode-changes, the modulation pattern responsible for the bi-drifting is strictly phase locked over a timescale of years such that the variability is identical in the different components. The phase locking implies that a single physical origin is responsible for both drift directions. Phase locking is hard to explain for many models, including those specifically proposed in the literature to explain bi-drifting, and they are therefore shown to be implausible. It is argued that within the framework of circulating beamlets, bi-drifting could occur if the circulation were severely distorted, possibly by distortions in the magnetic field.

description: We present an accurate way to detect spin dynamics of a nutating molecular nanomagnet by inserting it in a tunnel Josephson junction and studying the current voltage (I-V) characteristic. The spin nutation of the molecular nanomagnet is generated by applying two circularly polarized magnetic fields. We demonstrate that modulation of the Josephson current by the nutation of the molecular nanomagnet's spin appears as a stepwise structure like Shapiro steps in the I-V characteristic of the junction. Width and heights of these Shapiro-like steps are determined by two parameters of the spin nutation, frequency and amplitude of the nutation, which are simply tuned by the applied magnetic fields.

description: Excerpts from the Summary: Changes in mechanization and technology and the changing structure of agriculture are closely interrelated. The technological revolution of farming in the last 20 years has affected the structure of agriculture, and the structure of agriculture has influenced the changes made in technology. The net effect of these two forces will be a tendency for farms to become larger, more mechanized, and more specialized. There will still be family farms in the sense of primary dependence on family labor. But prospects are that the hired labor will make up a larger proportion of the farm labor force. Trendwise, number of both family and hired workers have decreased about in proportion the number of farms. Operators and members of their families who do farmwork decreased more rapidly. Last year, the average number of hired workers rose for the first time since 1950. On an annual basis, the number of family workers has not increased since the immediate postwar year, 1946, and the downward rend continued last year. In future years, numbers of hired workers will go down but less rapidly than the number of family workers.
