description: In time series data analysis, detecting change points on a real-time basis (online) is of great interest in many areas, such as finance, environmental monitoring, and medicine. One promising means to achieve this is the Bayesian online change point detection (BOCPD) algorithm, which has been successfully adopted in particular cases in which the time series of interest has a fixed baseline. However, we have found that the algorithm struggles when the baseline irreversibly shifts from its initial state. This is because with the original BOCPD algorithm, the sensitivity with which a change point can be detected is degraded if the data points are fluctuating at locations relatively far from the original baseline. In this paper, we not only extend the original BOCPD algorithm to be applicable to a time series whose baseline is constantly shifting toward unknown values but also visualize why the proposed extension works. To demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm compared to the original one, we examine these algorithms on two real-world data sets and six synthetic data sets.

Identity transformation in drug addiction

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This research addresses existing gaps in the sociology of deviance and in sociological social psychology concepts of identity and identity transformation processes by exploring identity composition and transformation during careers in and out of drug use and addiction. The focus is on the relationship between drug abuse and identity through both micro, i.e. self-concept, level of personal satisfaction and personal control and macro phenomena, i.e. social appraisal, social climate and popularity of drugs. The research questions are exploratory. Currently sober drug addicts are studied in an attempt to explore if and how identity transformation occurs during the movement into and out of deviance and what factors are involved in doing so. A qualitative approach is employed, featuring intensive interviewing with a purposive sample of currently abstinent drug addicts from the 12 Step programs of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) and Narcotics Anonymous (N.A.) in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area. The findings indicate that drug use initially alleviated respondents' existing identity discomfort that arose from a myriad of mostly micro, yet some macro factors, but that these effects were temporary. The findings also indicate that the passage out of deviance is possible and involves some of the same factors included in the passage into deviance. Important differences are, however, apparent. Finally, the findings indicate that identity transformation often results from passages into and out of deviance, but is not simultaneous with either passage and is differentially experienced by the respondents. These findings contribute to the extant theoretical gaps.

For Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds we propose explicit expressions for the mathematical objects that enter into the central charge formula. We show that our results are consistent with results in FJRW theory and the hemisphere partition function of the gauged linear sigma model.

New D=6, N=(1,1) Gauged Supergravity with Supersymmetric (Minkowski)_4 X S^2 Vacuum

description: We obtain a new gauged D=6, N=(1,1) pure supergravity by a generalised consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction of M-theory on K3 \times R. The reduction requires a conspiratory gauging of both the Cremmer-Julia type global (rigid) symmetry and the homogeneous rescaling symmetry of the supergravity equations of motion. The gauged supergravity is different from the Romans D=6 gauged supergravity in that the four vector fields in our new theory are all abelian. We show that it admits a supersymmetric (Minkowski)_4\times S^2 vacuum, which can be lifted to D=11 where it becomes the near-horizon geometry of two intersecting M5-branes wrapping on a supersymmetric two-cycle of K3.

description: We study the genuine tripartite nonlocality (GTN) and the genuine tripartite entanglement (GTE) of Dirac fields in the background of a Schwarzschild black hole. We find that the Hawking radiation degrades both the physically accessible GTN and the physically accessible GTE. The former suffers from "sudden death" at some critical Hawking temperature, and the latter approaches to the nonzero asymptotic value in the limit of infinite Hawking temperature. We also find that the Hawking effect cannot generate the physically inaccessible GTN, but can generate the physically inaccessible GTE for fermion fields in curved spacetime. These results show that on the one hand the GTN cannot pass through the event horizon of black hole, but the GTE do can, and on the other hand the surviving physically accessible GTE and the generated physically inaccessible GTE for fermions in curved spacetime are all not nonlocal. Some monogamy relations between the physically accessible GTE and the physically inaccessible GTE are found.

description: The liquid state is one of the fundamental and essential states of matter, but its physical understanding is far behind the other states, such as the gas and solid states, due to the difficulties associated with the high density causing many-body correlations and the lack of long-range order. Significant open problems in liquid science include glass transition, crystallization, and water's anomalies. Austen Angell has contributed tremendously to these problems and proposed many new concepts of fundamental importance. In this article, we review how these concepts have influenced our work on liquid physics, focusing on the roles of liquid structural ordering in glass transition, crystallization, and water's anomalies.

description: Independent doctoral-level clinician judges (two psychologists in clinical practice) reliably (average rater concordance of.782, p $<$.0001) noted the incidence of contents corresponding to 48 protocol sentences derived to reflect important aspects of suicide in late adulthood using a procedure developed by Leenaars in two studies of suicide notes. Study 1--N = 40, 20 notes in each of two age groups--Over Age 65 and Under Age 55; and Study 2--N = 60, 20 notes in each of three age groups--Young, Middle, and Late Adulthood. The current studies were designed to address two major concerns: (1) validation of consistent empirical findings and previously-unintegrated theoretical statements from the existing literature on late adulthood suicide and (2) replication and extension of Leenaars' findings about age and suicide (focusing on differentiating later from earlier life-era suicides). Although it was unknown, a priori, which protocol sentence items would be highly predictive (descriptive) and which items would be highly discriminative (differentiating by age group) of late adulthood suicide, all 48 items constituted hypotheses about late life suicide. Thus, it was expected that the sentences, as a set, would discriminate significantly in favor of the notes of late life suicide completers. Also, with the exception of items known to most probably reflect commonalities in suicidal dynamics across the life-span (Items 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 15, 17, 20, 25, 31, 33, 35, 40, and 44), all of the sentences were expected to differentiate notes of older adults individually when paired against notes of other age groups. Frequency counts indicated that many of the protocol sentences were predictive of note content, irrespective of age. As a set, the 48 sentences did not discriminate late adulthood suicides in either study, although specific items did in both. The current results suggest that in adult suicide overall, more commonalities exist than differences. Significant individual differences between age groups, however appear to reflect developmental crises precipitating suicidal behavior in a given period of life. It was concluded that a life-span developmental approach was vital in understanding the seriously suicidal person's immediate motives from the personal document of a suicide note and in situating the suicidal event in an accurate psychosocial, temporal/cultural, and individual psychodynamic context.
The First Detailed X-ray Observations of High-Redshift, Optically-Selected Clusters: XMM-Newton Results for Cl 1324+3011 at z = 0.76 and Cl 1604+4304 at z = 0.90

description: We present the first detailed X-ray observations of optically-selected clusters at high redshift. Two clusters, Cl 1324+3011 at z = 0.76 and Cl 1604+4304 at z = 0.90, were observed with XMM-Newton. The optical center of each cluster is coincident with an extended X-ray source whose emission is detected out to a radius of 0.5 Mpc. The emission from each cluster appears reasonably circular, with some indication of asymmetries and more complex morphologies. Similarly to other optically-selected clusters at redshifts of z > 0.4, both clusters are modest X-ray emitters with bolometric luminosities of only Lx = 1.4 - 2.0 x 10^(44) erg/s. We measure gas temperatures of T = 2.88 (+0.71/-0.49) keV for Cl 1324+3011 and 2.51 (+1.05/-0.69) keV for Cl 1604+4304. The X-ray properties of both clusters are consistent with the high-redshift Lx-T relation measured from X-ray-selected samples at z > 0.5. However, based on the local relations, their X-ray luminosities and temperatures are low for their measured velocity dispersions (sigma). The clusters are cooler by a factor of 2 - 9 compared to the local sigma-T relation. We briefly discuss the possible explanations for these results.

description: Quantum information scrambling refers to the loss of local recoverability of quantum information, which has found widespread attention from high energy physics to quantum computing. In the present analysis we propose a possible starting point for the development of a comprehensive framework for the thermodynamics of scrambling. To this end, we prove that the growth of entanglement as quantified by the mutual information is lower bounded by the time-dependent change of Out-Of-Time-Ordered Correlator. We further show that the rate of increase of the mutual information can be upper bounded by the sum of local entropy productions, and the exchange entropy arising from the flow of information between separate partitions of a quantum system. Our results are illustrated for the ion trap system, that was recently used to verify information scrambling in an experiment, and for the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model.

description: The emerging research field Search as Learning investigates how the Web facilitates learning through modern information retrieval systems. SAL research requires significant amounts of data that capture both search behavior of users and their acquired knowledge in order to obtain conclusive insights or train supervised machine learning models. However, the creation of such datasets is costly and requires interdisciplinary efforts in order to design studies and capture a wide range of features. In this paper, we address this issue and introduce an extensive dataset based on a user study, in which $114$ participants were asked to learn about the formation of lightning and thunder. Participants' knowledge states were measured before and after Web search through multiple-choice questionnaires and essay-based free recall tasks. To enable future research in SAL-related tasks we recorded a plethora of features and person-related attributes. Besides the screen recordings, visited Web pages, and detailed browsing histories, a large number of behavioral features and resource features were monitored. We underline the usefulness of the dataset by describing three, already published, use cases.

description: We test the Emergent Gravity(EG) theory using the galaxy-galaxy lensing technique based on SDSS DR7 data. In the EG scenario, we do not expect color dependence of the galaxy sample in the 'apparent dark matter' predicted by EG, which is exerted only by the baryonic mass. If the baryonic mass is similar, then the predicted lensing profiles from the baryonic mass should be similar according to the EG, regardless of the color of the galaxy sample. We use the stellar mass of the galaxy as a proxy of its baryonic mass. We divide our galaxy sample into 5 stellar mass bins, and further classify them as red and blue subsamples in each stellar mass bin. If we set halo mass and concentration as free parameters, $Λ$CDM is favored by our data in terms of the reduced $χ^2$ while EG fails to explain the color dependence of ESDs from the galaxy-galaxy lensing measurement.

The impact of political and representational factors on economic development decision-making in American cities
Creators: name: Desantis, Victor S.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: One area of vital interest to urban policymakers, especially over the last decade, has been growth and development policy. Given the resources being expended by cities across the nation for programs designed to revitalize and enhance city economies, it is clear that economic development has moved much closer to becoming a core local government activity. While it may not yet parallel the more traditional services of public safety and sanitation in importance, most cities have some form of development program. Unfortunately, little is known about what factors influence economic development decisionmaking in today's environment. This research explores the types of economic development strategies adopted by cities and links those with the political and representational factors in the community. The central research question to be studied is how the political environment (institutions and organizational structures) and political representation (who wins public office) influence the types of development strategies pursued by local governments. The data used in this research was collected by the International City Management Association (ICMA) through a nation-wide mail survey of local economic development directors. All cities over 25,000 in population that responded to the survey comprise the sample for this dissertation. The research model examines economic development strategies as a function of government structure variables, political representation variables, and several demographic and socio-economic control variables. Does a city with a strong mayor adopt development policies that differ from those in cities with weak mayors? Does a city council dominated by business interests favor development policies that differ from those in cities with more diverse interests represented on the city council?; The results from this study fail to uncover any systematic or consistent pattern of effects of political representation or political structures on the economic development strategies chosen by cities. While business influence on the council and the use of district elections appear as important determinants in office development and small business development, respectively, these variables were not significant determinants for other economic development strategies. The implication from this research is that economic conditions are more important factors driving the choice of local economic development strategies.

description: Here, the first-principles predictions on the structural stability, magnetic behavior and electronic structure of B-site ordered double perovskite Nd$_{2}$FeCrO$_{6}$ have been reported. Initially, the ground state of the parent single perovskites NdCrO$_{3}$ and NdFeO$_{3}$ have been studied to determine the relevant Hubbard U parameter to investigate the properties of Nd2CrFeO6. The thermodynamic, mechanical, and dynamic stability analyses suggest the possibility of the synthesis of Nd$_{2}$FeCrO$_{6}$ double perovskite at ambient pressure. The compound shows ferrimagnetic (FiM) nature with 2 $\mu$B net magnetic moments and the magnetic ordering temperature has been estimated to be $\sim$265 K. Electronic structure indicates higher probability of direct photon transition over the indirect transition with a bandgap of $\sim$1.85 eV. Additional effect of Nd (4f) spin and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the band edges have been found to be negligible for this 4f-3d-3d spin system. This first-principles investigation predicts that due to the ferrimagnetic nature and significantly lower bandgap compared to its antiferromagnetic parent single perovskites, B-site ordered Nd$_{2}$FeCrO$_{6}$ double perovskite could be a promising material for spintronic and visible-light-driven energy applications.

description: On the basis of the evident ability of neuronal olfactory systems to evaluate the intensity of an odorous stimulus and at the same time also recognise the identity of the odorant over a large range of concentrations, a few biologically-realistic hypotheses on some of the underlying neural processes are made. In particular, it is assumed that the receptor neurons mean firing-rate scale monotonically with odorant intensity, and that the receptor sensitivities range widely across odorants and receptor neurons hence leading to highly distributed representations of the stimuli. The mathematical implementation of the phenomenological postulates allows for inferring explicit functional relationships between some measurable quantities. It results that both the dependence of the mean firing-rate on odorant concentration and the statistical distribution of receptor sensitivity across the neuronal population are power-laws, whose respective exponents are in an arithmetic, testable relationship. In order to test quantitatively the prediction of power-law dependence of population mean firing-rate on odorant concentration, a probabilistic model is created to extract information from data available in the experimental literature. The values of the free parameters of the model are estimated by an info-geometric Bayesian maximum-likelihood inference which keeps into account the prior distribution of the parameters. The eventual goodness of fit is quantified by means of a distribution-independent test. [CONTINUES]

description: We calculate, for the first time, the state-dependent pairing gap of a finite nucleus (120Sn) diagonalizing the bare nucleon-nucleon potential (Argonne v14) in a Hartree-Fock basis (with effective k-mass m_k eqult to 0.7 m), within the framework of the BCS approximation including scattering states up to 800 MeV above the Fermi energy to achieve convergence. The resulting gap accounts for about half of the experimental gap. We find that a consistent description of the low-energy nuclear spectrum requires, aside from the bare nucleon-nucleon interaction, not only the dressing of single-particle motion through the coupling to the nuclear surface, to give the right density of levels close to the Fermi energy (and thus an effective mass m* approximately equal to m), but also the renormalization of collective vibrational modes through vertex and self-energy processes, processes which are also found to play an essential role in the pairing channel, leading to a long range, state dependent component of the pairing interaction. The combined effect of the bare nucleon-nucleon potential and of the induced pairing interaction arising from the exchange of low-lying surface vibrations between nucleons moving in time reversal states close to the Fermi energy accounts for the experimental gap.

description: Vineyard solid wastes are regarded as an alternative source of renewable raw materials for the production of hemicellulosic sugars and their conversion into furfural. In this work, a liquid hemicellulosic fraction was extracted from vineyard wastes in order to produce a higher furfural yield. A simple ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (UHPLC-DAD) method was used for determining furfural from vineyard wastes. The UHPLC-DAD method was validated for the determination of furfural from vineyard wastes. The described method shows good linearity with a coefficient of determination higher than 0.998. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 0.3 µg mL−1 and 1.0 µg mL−1, respectively. The recoveries determined by the spiking solutions varied between 95.1 and 100.8%. The relative expanded uncertainty of the method was evaluated based on a bottom-up approach and was 13.5%.

description: One area of vital interest to urban policymakers, especially over the last decade, has been growth and development policy. Given the resources being expended by cities across the nation for programs designed to revitalize and enhance city economies, it is clear that economic development has moved much closer to becoming a core local government activity. While it may not yet parallel the more traditional services of public safety and sanitation in importance, most cities have some form of development program. Unfortunately, little is known about what factors influence economic development decisionmaking in today's environment. This research explores the types of economic development strategies adopted by cities and links those with the political and representational factors in the community. The central research question to be studied is how the political environment (institutions and organizational structures) and political representation (who wins public office) influence the types of development strategies pursued by local governments. The data used in this research was collected by the International City Management Association (ICMA) through a nation-wide mail survey of local economic development directors. All cities over 25,000 in population that responded to the survey comprise the sample for this dissertation. The research model examines economic development strategies as a function of government structure variables, political representation variables, and several demographic and socio-economic control variables. Does a city with a strong mayor adopt development policies that differ from those in cities with weak mayors? Does a city council dominated by business interests favor development policies that differ from those in cities with more diverse interests represented on the city council?; The results from this study fail to uncover any systematic or consistent pattern of effects of political representation or political structures on the economic development strategies chosen by cities. While business influence on the council and the use of district elections appear as important determinants in office development and small business development, respectively, these variables were not significant determinants for other economic development strategies. The implication from this research is that economic conditions are more important factors driving the choice of local economic development strategies.

description: The goal of this project is to enhance the economic sustainability of agricultural production in Southwest Indian Country through food/agritourism enterprise and supply chain development. This strategy takes advantage of increasing traveler demand for local and heritage foods and activities and the need to diversify Southwest agriculture to increase its resiliency to climate change. Project objectives include assessing tourism behaviors and motivations, assessing the production and marketing needs of tribal food producers, and evaluating various models for incorporating food/agritourism into current operations. Project outcomes will increase business opportunities for tribal members and strengthen tribal economies while preserving traditional tribal customs and knowledge.
A model of undergraduate student withdrawal behavior based on Maslow's theory of human motivation
Creators: name: Diamant, Constance Timar
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this research was to examine the usefulness of applying the concepts of Maslow's theory of human motivation to the understanding of undergraduate student withdrawal from universities. Exploratory survey research was conducted using a sample of undergraduate students withdrawing from The American University. The survey instrument was constructed using the principles of Maslow's hierarchy of human needs. The hypotheses tested in this research suggest that undergraduate students withdrawing are motivated by needs in one or more of the Maslowian categories; that the Maslowian categories of need relate the demographic and/or performance characteristics of the withdrawing student; and that student motivating factors for withdrawal will be either internally or externally based, both being equally influential on the decision to withdraw. The subjects of this study were 166 undergraduate students who identified themselves as wishing to withdraw from The American University and who completed the Undergraduate Withdrawing Student Survey. The survey instrument was developed specifically for this research. Data were analyzed using canonical correlations to model the associations between the Maslowian categories and demographic/performance characteristics. Significant results emerged showing the negative association between student self-esteem needs and cumulative grade point averages. The findings of this study show evidence to support the usefulness of Maslowian concepts as a diagnostic mapping for the motivational forces influencing a decision to withdraw from a university.

description: Recent advances in machine learning and prevalence of digital medical images have opened up an opportunity to address the challenging brain tumor segmentation (BTS) task by using deep convolutional neural networks. However, different from the RGB image data that are very widespread, the medical image data used in brain tumor segmentation are relatively scarce in terms of the data scale but contain the richer information in terms of the modality property. To this end, this paper proposes a novel cross-modality deep feature learning framework to segment brain tumors from the multi-modality MRI data. The core idea is to mine rich patterns across the multi-modality data to make up for the insufficient data scale. The proposed cross-modality deep feature learning framework consists of two learning processes: the cross-modality feature transition (CMFT) process and the cross-modality feature fusion (CMFF) process, which aims at learning rich feature representations by transiting knowledge across different modality data and fusing knowledge from different modality data, respectively. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on the BraTS benchmarks, which show that the proposed cross-modality deep feature learning framework can effectively improve the brain tumor segmentation performance when compared with the baseline methods and state-of-the-art methods.
