Estimation of the mean of positively skewed distributions with applications to estimation of exposure to contaminated soils
Creators: name: Chen, Ling
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: We consider estimating the mean of a positively skewed distribution from both random and purposive samples. It has been noted that in random samples the sample mean has a large probability of falling below the mean of the distribution, because of such skewness. Various ad hoc procedures have been proposed to correct this low coverage of the mean in order to conservatively estimate the long-term exposure to contaminated soils at toxic waste sites. We propose a direct estimate of the mean based on a penalized loss function. This loss function is made up of a squared error loss plus a penalty for each observation that falls above the estimate. The resulting minimum risk estimate, called the penalized mean, is derived iteratively and shown to be biased in favor of greater coverage. We show that, asymptotically, a one-step iterate of the penalized mean is unbiased, converges almost surely to the true mean, and with mild assumptions on the form of the penalty, is normally distributed. Based on a penalized loss, we show that the sample mean is inadmissible in the normal distribution and a class of positively skewed distributions. Choices of a penalty parameter result in a penalized estimate of the mean with greater coverage than that of the sample mean. Approaches to choosing this parameter optimally are also investigated. Extensions of this procedure to nonrandom purposive samples that arise from selective sampling in highly contaminated regions are also developed.
High-dimensional Black-box Optimization via Divide and Approximate Conquer

description: Divide and Conquer (DC) is conceptually well suited to high-dimensional optimization by decomposing a problem into multiple small-scale sub-problems. However, appealing performance can be seldom observed when the sub-problems are interdependent. This paper suggests that the major difficulty of tackling interdependent sub-problems lies in the precise evaluation of a partial solution (to a sub-problem), which can be overwhelmingly costly and thus makes sub-problems non-trivial to conquer. Thus, we propose an approximation approach, named Divide and Approximate Conquer (DAC), which reduces the cost of partial solution evaluation from exponential time to polynomial time. Meanwhile, the convergence to the global optimum (of the original problem) is still guaranteed. The effectiveness of DAC is demonstrated empirically on two sets of non-separable high-dimensional problems.

description: For a subgroup $L$ of the symmetric group $S_\ell$, we determine the minimal base size of $GL_d(q)\wr L$ acting on $V_d(q)^\ell$ as an imprimitive linear group. This is achieved by computing the number of orbits of $GL_d(q)$ on spanning $m$-tuples, which turns out to be the number of $d$-dimensional subspaces of $V_m(q)$. We then use these results to prove that for certain families of subgroups $L$, the affine groups whose stabilisers are large subgroups of $GL_d(q)\wr L$ satisfy a conjecture of Pyber concerning bases.

description: Traditionally the Costa Rican historians and genealogists have interpreted that the Spanish ruling elite emerged after the conquest was exclusively of European origin. On the other side, recent technological advances in Genetics give us the opportunity to approach the study of pedigrees from a new perspective, examining alive people and simultaneously collating the historical information of their ancestors. In this paper, a complete matrilineal genealogy was reconstructed from nowadays "white" Costa Ricans to their ancestors in the early Colonial society (XVI century). It was compared the correlation between ethnic affiliations deduced from historical records with the genetic inheritance from maternal lineages. The MtDNA lineage observed corresponds to a Native American ancestry. These results show that some Amerindian gene flow into the Spanish group must have occurred since the first generation of Colonial society, a finding that contrasts with the prevailing ideas that the Spanish elite avoided the intermarriage with other ethnic groups. Examples like this one confirm that miscegenation began early in Costa Rica. So, those who considered themselves "Spaniards" in the late colonial era, were actually biologically mestizos. It is widely accepted, that the general Costa Rican population is the result of an admixture process between Europeans, Amerindians and Africans.

description: Cross-spectrum analysis is a commonly-used technique for the detection of phase and amplitude noise of a signal in the presence of interfering noise. It extracts the desired correlated noise from two time series in the presence of uncorrelated interfering noise. Recently, we demonstrated that the phase-inversion (anti-correlation) effect due to AM noise leakage can cause complete or partial collapse of the cross-spectral function. In this paper, we discuss the newly discovered effect of anti-correlated thermal noise that originates from the common-mode power divider (splitter), an essential component in a cross-spectrum noise measurement system. We studied this effect for different power splitters and discuss its influence on the measurement of thermal-noise limited oscillators. An oscillator whose thermal noise is primarily set by the 50 ohm source resistance is referred to as a thermally-limited oscillator. We provide theory, simulation and experimental results. In addition, we expand this study to reveal how the presence of ferrite-isolators and amplifiers at the output ports of the power splitters can affect the oscillator noise measurements. Finally, we discuss a possible solution to overcome this problem.
A systematic review of behavioral interventions for object mouthing behaviors
Creators: name: Liu, Ting-Yu
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Object mouthing is a challenging behavior due to potential damage to an individual's mouth and the risk of ingestion of non-edible. There are very limited number of studies for the behavioral intervention of object mouthing in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related developmental disabilities. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of evidence-based intervention for object mouthing. The review identified six studies that used behavioral intervention to reduce object mouthing for six children under 8-years-old with ASD and related developmental disabilities. All studies implemented reinforcement-based and/or punishment-based interventions to reduce object mouthing for participants successfully. The review also emphasized the research gap and limitation in the literature for behavioral interventions of object mouthing, which would inspire future practitioners and researchers to consider further intervention options with previously unexplored but important aspects of object mouthing.

Stochastic optimal control using semidefinite programming for moment dynamics

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016

description: This paper presents a method to approximately solve stochastic optimal control problems in which the cost function and the system dynamics are polynomial. For stochastic systems with polynomial dynamics, the moments of the state can be expressed as a, possibly infinite, system of deterministic linear ordinary differential equations. By casting the problem as a deterministic control problem in moment space, semidefinite programming is used to find a lower bound on the optimal solution. The constraints in the semidefinite program are imposed by the ordinary differential equations for moment dynamics and semidefiniteness of the outer product of moments. From the solution to the semidefinite program, an approximate optimal control strategy can be constructed using a least squares method. In the linear quadratic case, the method gives an exact solution to the optimal control problem. In more complex problems, an infinite number of moment differential equations would be required to compute the optimal control law. In this case, we give a procedure to increase the size of the semidefinite program, leading to increasingly accurate approximations to the true optimal control strategy.

description: Artificial ices enable the study of geometrical frustration by design and through direct observation. However, it has proven difficult to achieve tailored long-range ordering of their diverse configurations, limiting both fundamental and applied research directions. We designed an artificial spin structure that produces a magnetic charge ice with tunable long-range ordering of eight different configurations. We also developed a technique to precisely manipulate the local magnetic charge states and demonstrate write-read-erase multifunctionality at room temperature. This globally reconfigurable and locally writable magnetic charge ice could provide a setting for designing magnetic monopole defects, tailoring magnonics, and controlling the properties of other two-dimensional materials.

description: Binary mixtures of large and small particles with disparate size ratio exhibit a rich phenomenology at their glass transition points. In order to gain insights on such systems, we introduce and study a two-component version of the $p$-spin spherical spin glass model. We employ the replica method to calculate the free energy and the phase diagram. We show that when the strengths of the interactions of each component are not widely separated, the model has only one glass phase characterized by the conventional one-step replica symmetry breaking. However when the strengths of the interactions are well separated, the model has three glass phases depending on temperature and component ratio. One is the "single" glass phase in which only the spins of one component are frozen while the spins of the other component remain mobile. This phase is characterized by the one-step replica symmetry breaking. The second is the "double" glass phase obtained by cooling further the single glass phase, in which the spins of the remaining mobile component are also frozen. This phase is characterized by the two-step replica symmetry breaking. The third is also the "double" glass phase, which however is formed by the simultaneous freezing of the spins of both components at the same temperatures and is characterized by the one-step replica symmetry breaking. We discuss the implications of these results for the glass transitions of binary mixtures.

Why are there such great differences between minorities? Could this explain why they have the longest running democratic tradition in Iceland? The difference probably stems in the origins of Iceland.

Circumstellar and explosion properties of Type Ibn supernovae

description: We investigate circumstellar and explosion properties of Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) by analyzing their bolometric light curves. Bolometric light curves of Type Ibn SNe generally have a large contrast between peak luminosity and late-phase luminosity, which is much larger than those of 56Ni-powered SNe. Thus, most of them are likely powered by the interaction between SN ejecta and dense circumstellar media. In addition, Type Ibn SNe decline much faster than Type IIn SNe, and this indicates that the interaction in Type Ibn SNe ceases earlier than in Type IIn SNe. Thus, we argue that Type Ibn SN progenitors experience high mass-loss rates in a short period just before explosion, while Type IIn SN progenitors have high mass-loss rates sustained for a long time. Furthermore, we show that rise time and peak luminosity of Type Ibn and Type IIn SNe are similar and thus, they have similar explosion properties and circumstellar density. The similar circumstellar density in the two kinds of SNe may indicate that mass-loss rates of Type Ibn SN progenitors are generally higher than those of Type IIn as the wind velocities inferred from narrow spectral components are generally higher in Type Ibn SNe. We also show that 56Ni mass and explosion energy of Type Ibn SNe may be smaller than those of other stripped-envelope SNe, probably because they tend to suffer large fallback or some of them may not even be terminal stellar explosions.

description: We present a precise optical and near-infrared determination of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) brightness in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (respectively LMC and SMC). The commonly used calibrations of the absolute magnitude of the TRGB lead to an overestimation of the distance to the LMC and SMC in the K band, and an underestimation of the distance in the optical I band for both galaxies. Reported discrepancies are at the level of 0.2 mag, with respect to the very accurate distance determinations to both Clouds based on late-type eclipsing binaries. The differential distances between the LMC and SMC obtained in the J and K bands, and for the bolometric brightness are consistent with each other, and with the results obtained from eclipsing binaries and other distance indicators.

description: Usually for verification of compliance, the fatigue resistance of prestressing steel is determined from tests of naked specimens at 2 million cycles. However, for design the fatigue resistance of tendons cast into concrete, is substantially lower. To verify the resistance of existing older prestressed concrete bridges and for the design of new bridges, S-N curves of prestressing steel in curved steel ducts embedded into concrete are needed. In bridges, the load cycles due to heavy vehicles may rise up to about 10E8 cycles or even more. Previous tests with curved tendons in steel ducts primarily cover a range of up to about 20 million cycles. Thereby no real endurance strength has been estimated jet. Hence the S-N curves given in Eurocode 2 and Model Code 2010 are defined hypothetically for a range from 10^6 up to 10^8 and are not based on test results. The reason is that experimental investigations in a range up to 10 8 cycles are very expensive and also demand a very long duration. Essential progress results from the development of an optimized test setup that allows a frequency of 10Hz for the applied load cycles. Therewith, the experimental investigations up to 10^8 cycles have been done by means of prestressed concrete beams with embedded curved tendons in steel ducts. Furthermore, procedures to also forecast the lifetime in the case of very low stress ranges respectively the remaining lifetime of a running test had been developed in conjunction with an interdisciplinary research project. The procedures are based on refined statistical analysis of the extensively measured data including increase of crack width, strains, sound emission etc. Additionally the analysis of the latter leads to some interesting new perceptions.

description: Report Introduction: To find ways to improve Grain Market News reporting, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently conducted a study of cash grain pricing. The data were collected by the Statistical Reporting Service and analyzed by the Economic Research Service and the Agricultural Marketing Service. More than 2,600 grain handlers provided information for the study. This is a preliminary report to these cooperating firms, highlighting the major findings. A detailed report will be issued in 1977 to make the results fully available to the public. Two interrelated systems facilitate the flow of grain from farms to final users. The physical system provides conditioning, handling, storage, and transportation services. The exchange system establishes prices for grain bought and sold under diverse conditions with respect to quality and time and place of delivery. The exchange system consists of the cash market and the futures market. The futures market is highly visible; grain futures contracts are traded openly on the organized exchanges at Chicago, Minneapolis, and Kansas City; each price change is recorded and widely disseminated. However, most of the trades that result in actual physical delivery occur in the cash market. The cash market, unlike the futures market, is difficult to observe. It is primarily a telephone market involving large numbers of traders operating from their own offices. The study focused on the domestic cash market, looking at the types of traders involved, the nature of their transactions, and the flow of information among market participants.

description: Electrical transport in monolayer graphene on SrTiO3 (STO) thin film is examined in order to promote gate-voltage scaling using a high-k dielectric material. The atomically flat surface of thin STO layer epitaxially grown on Nb-doped STO single-crystal substrate offers good adhesion between the high-k film and graphene, resulting in nonhysteretic conductance as a function of gate voltage at all temperatures down to 2 K. The two-terminal conductance quantization under magnetic fields corresponding to quantum Hall states survives up to 200 K at a magnetic field of 14 T. In addition, the substantial shift of charge neutrality point in graphene seems to correlate with the temperature-dependent dielectric constant of the STO thin film, and its effective dielectric properties could be deduced from the universality of quantum phenomena in graphene. Our experimental data prove that the operating voltage reduction can be successfully realized due to the underlying high-k STO thin film, without any noticeable degradation of graphene device performance.

description: We present numerical simulations of properties of a parsec-scale torus exposed to illumination by the central black hole in an active galaxy (AGN). Our physical model allows to investigate the balance between the formation of winds and accretion simultaneously. Radiation-driven winds are allowed by taking into account radiation pressure due to UV and IR radiation along with X-ray heating and dust sublimation. Accretion is allowed through angular momentum transport and the solution of the equations of radiation hydrodynamics. Our methods adopt flux-limited diffusion radiation-hydrodynamics for the dusty, infrared pressure driven part of the flow, along with X-ray heating and cooling. Angular momentum transport in the accreting part of the flow is modeled using effective viscosity. Our results demonstrate that radiation pressure on dust can play an important role in shaping AGN obscuration. For example, when the luminosity illuminating the torus exceeds $L>0.01\,L_{\rm Edd}$, where $L_{\rm Edd}$ is the Eddington luminosity, we find no episodes of sustained disk accretion because radiation pressure does not allow a disk to form. Despite the absence of the disk accretion, the flow of gas to smaller radii still proceeds at a rate $10^{-4}-10^{-1}\,M_\odot\,{\rm yr}^{-1}$ through the capturing of the gas from the hot evaporative flow, thus providing a mechanism to deliver gas from a radiation-pressure dominated torus to the inner accretion disk. As $L/L_{\rm edd}$ increases, larger radiation input leads to larger torus aspect ratios and increased obscuration of the central black hole. We also find the important role of the X-ray heated gas in shaping of the obscuring torus.

Remember Maconaquah: The Forced Erasure of Indigenous Identity in Captivity Narratives, Historical Markers, and Memorials in Indiana

description: Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
description: Historic monuments and markers can be found across the United States. There are always different motivations involving why they were placed and who or what is being acknowledged. Markers and memorials remembering a white woman named Frances Slocum recognize that she was taken by Delaware Indians in 1778 and eventually married a Miami chief before dying in Indiana in 1847. What the markers and memorials fail to show is the life of Maconaquah, a Miami woman that was adopted by a Delaware family after being taken in Pennsylvania. Since being located by her white family, Maconaquah’s story has been retold, celebrated, and remembered as the story of Frances Slocum, a lost but now found sister. The memorialization of Frances Slocum and erasure of Maconaquah began with the captivity narratives that told the story of Slocum from the perspective of her being lost and then found by her white relatives. Native captivity narratives began when the increased colonization of the North American continent led to conflict and violence between the white colonists and Indigenous tribes; popular narratives began as early as 1624 with Captain John Smith’s Generall Historie. When captives shared their stories, it was a way to share information about the different cultures they had encountered, as well as created a division of white colonial cultural and Indigenous cultures. Narratives like the ones written about Maconaquah focus on her white identity and family and firmly emphasize any difference in dress, home, or demeanor. Maconaquah is not recognized so much for the life she created among the Miami as she is mourned for the life she could have had with her white family. This dismissal of her Indigenous identity continued onto her monuments and markers that refused to acknowledge her name or her legacy. To properly remember Maconaquah’s life and legacy, any potential monument or marker will need to disrupt the narrative previously presented in favor of centering her Miami identity.

description: The possible torsion groups of elliptic curves induced by Diophantine triples over quadratic fields, which do not appear over Q, are Z/2Z x Z/10Z, Z/2Z x Z/12Z and Z/4Z x Z/4Z. In this paper, we show that all these torsion groups indeed appear over some quadratic field. Moreover, we prove that there are infinitely many Diophantine triples over quadratic fields which induce elliptic curves with these torsion groups.

description: Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
description: Adventure tourism is a fast-growing niche sector within tourism. This study aims to identify the primary motivations and constraints for individuals participating in adventure tourism. Emphasis was put on adventure participants' travel pattern behaviors (local residents/ tourists) and the new factor of COVID-19. Only some studies have examined constraints within adventure tourism, including motivations, travel, and COVID-19. A total of 240 individual's participated in a 10-15-minute survey that focused on 37 motivations and constraints pulled from previous literature. The findings highlighted personal improvement and destination experience as the key motivators to participate in adventure tourism, while traveler anxiety was the key constraint holding participants back. It also gave insight into how adventure tourism continues to be popular despite the pandemic.

Conciliating SUSY with the Z-peaked excess
Creators: name: Mitsou, Vasiliki A.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The ATLAS experiment observed an excess at the $3σ$ level in the channel of $Z$ boson, jets and high missing transverse momentum in the full 2012 dataset at 8 TeV while searching for SUSY. The question arises whether the abundance and the kinematical features of this excess are compatible with the yet unconstrained supersymmetric realm, respecting at the same time the measured Higgs boson properties and dark matter density. By trying to explain this signal with SUSY we find that only relatively light gluinos together with a heavy neutralino NLSP decaying predominantly to a $Z$ boson plus a light gravitino could reproduce the excess. We construct an explicit general gauge mediation model able to match the observed signal. More sophisticated models could also reproduce the signal, as long as it features light gluinos, or heavy particles with a strong production cross section, producing at least one $Z$ boson in its decay chain. The implications of our findings for the Run II at LHC with the scaling on the $Z$ peak, as well as for the direct search of gluinos and other SUSY particles, are also discussed.

description: The pyrochlore Ho2Ge2O7 is a new highly correlated spin ice material. Physical property measurements including x-ray diffraction, dc susceptibility and ac susceptibility, confirm that it shares the distinctive characteristics of other known spin ices. Polarized neutron scattering measurements on a powder sample, combined with reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) refinements, give unique information about the spin ice state in Ho2Ge2O7. RMC refinements are used to fit the powder magnetic diffuse scattering and predict the single crystal magnetic scattering of Ho2Ge2O7, demonstrating consistency with spin ice behavior.
