description: Quasi-shuffle products, introduced by the first author, have been useful in studying multiple zeta values and some of their analogues and generalizations. The second author, together with Kajikawa, Ohno, and Okuda, significantly extended the definition of quasi-shuffle algebras so it could be applied to multiple zeta q-values. This article extends some of the algebraic machinery of the first author's original paper to the more general definition, and uses this extension to obtain various algebraic formulas in the quasi-shuffle algebra in a transparent way. Some applications to multiple zeta values, interpolated multiple zeta values, multiple q-zeta values, and multiple polylogarithms are given.

description: We apply the hydrodynamic theory of electron liquid to demonstrate that a circularly polarized radiation induces the diamagnetic, helicity-sensitive dc current in a ballistic nanoring. This current is dramatically enhanced in the vicinity of plasmonic resonances. The resulting magnetic moment of the nanoring represents a giant increase of the inverse Faraday effect. With increasing radiation intensity, linear plasmonic excitations evolve into the strongly non-linear plasma shock waves. These excitations produce a series of the well resolved peaks at the THz frequencies. We demonstrate that the plasmonic wave dispersion transforms the shock waves into solitons. The predicted effects should enable multiple applications in a wide frequency range (from the microwave to terahertz band) using optically controlled ultra low loss electric, photonic and magnetic devices.

Family and children's experiences with jail visitation

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Given the increases in mass incarceration over the last several decades, it is not surprising that the number of children with an incarcerated parent has continued to rise (Western & Pettit, 2010). While researchers have investigated the impact of parental prison incarceration on children, relatively limited research has focused on parental incarceration in jails. Yet, there are reasons to believe this distinction is an important one for children (Turney & Conner, 2019). In particular, relatively little research examining visits between children and parents incarcerated in local jails exists. This study utilizes a unique survey of visitors with children and incarcerated individuals at a local jail to better understand children’s experiences visiting parents in jail. In this paper, I provide descriptive statistics of visitors, children, and incarcerated parent experiences with visiting. I focus particular attention on children’s responses to visits as well as predictors of children’s emotions after visitation. I conclude with the implications of my study and avenues for further research.

description: A recent interest in potential industrial applications of electromagnetic forming processes has inspired a demand for adequate simulation tools. Aiming at the virtual design of industrial applications, the purpose of this work is to develop algorithmic formulations particularly suitable to reduce the enormous computational cost inherent to 3D simulations. These formulations comprise a carefully chosen discretization, highly accurate methods for data transfer between electromagnetic and mechanical subsystems, an efficient solid shell formulation, and a termination criterion for the electromagnetic field computation. As a result the simulation time is reduced by about one order of magnitude.

description: AGN exhibit rapid, high amplitude stochastic flux variations across the entire electromagnetic spectrum on timescales ranging from hours to years. The cause of this variability is poorly understood. We present a Green's Function-based method for using variability to (1) measure the time-scales on which flux perturbations evolve and (2) characterize the driving flux perturbations. We model the observed light curve of an AGN as a linear differential equation driven by stochastic impulses. We analyze the light curve of the Kepler AGN Zw 229-15 and find that the observed variability behavior can be modeled as a damped harmonic oscillator perturbed by a colored noise process. The model powerspectrum turns over on time-scale $385$~d. On shorter time-scales, the log-powerspectrum slope varies between $2$ and $4$, explaining the behavior noted by previous studies. We recover and identify both the $5.6$~d and $67$~d timescales reported by previous work using the Green's Function of the C-ARMA equation rather than by directly fitting the powerspectrum of the light curve. These are the timescales on which flux perturbations grow, and on which flux perturbations decay back to the steady-state flux level respectively. We make the software package KALI used to study light curves using our method available to the community.

More importantly, the guidelines and principles on open science that have been proliferating are centered on largely Western and Global North perspectives. The more crucial questions of by whom and for whom should science be open, and who has the power to set the agenda of open science are often not addressed. In this talk, I like to highlight some of the values and benefits of openness to knowledges and ways of knowing from communities and knowledge makers who have been historically excluded from “main-stream science.” I like to share ideas on how a pluriversal open science commons based on epistemic justice principles and solidarity, drawn from Indigenous and other knowledge traditions, can be sustained and governed by communities and for communities in various contexts.

description: This paper will present a Historical Review of High Speed Metal Forming beginning with the first thought of forming metal by using an electromagnetic impulse to today, whereby High Speed Metal Forming is an accepted production process. Although this paper will briefly cover the basic physics of the process, it will not dwell on it. It will rather show how the industrial acceptance of High Speed Metal Forming is tightly connected to the knowledge acquired from many applications studies. These studies determined the main characteristics of the process and defined the requirements for reliable Forming Equipment. This paper will show where the process is most effectively used by presenting real industrial product applications and industrial forming equipment.
title: Application of Raman spectroscopy to the differentiation of lipsticks for forensic purposes
Creators: name: Salahioglu, Fatma
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Raman spectroscopy was applied to the forensic analysis and differentiation of lipstick samples. Spectra were obtained from 73 different lipstick samples. 11% of the samples gave fluorescent spectra. 21.9% gave spectra that were unique to the individual lipstick. The remaining 67.1% could be divided into seven groups, each of which could be differentiated from one another. Identification of the component dye peaks in the lipstick spectra allowed further classification of the samples within each group. A spectral library of lipstick samples was built. Effects of ageing on the Raman spectra of lipsticks were investigated. The majority of the spectra of deposited lipstick samples remained unchanged over a period of up to two years. In some of the aged lipstick spectra, the (C=C) band at 1655 cm⁻¹ and the (=CH) band at 3011 cm⁻¹ were found to decrease in intensity and disappear over time. Trace amounts of lipstick smears deposited on textile fibres, cigarette butts and paper tissues were analysed. Differentiation of lipstick smears could be achieved with little or no interference from the underlying medium. Lipstick smears on glass slides, cigarette butts and tissues could also be analysed and identified in situ through evidence bags. Use of chemometrics for the characterisation of large numbers of lipstick spectra was explored. Thirty spectra each from ten different lipsticks were analysed by Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and classified using the Ai-Nearest Neighbours (KNN) classifier. Up to 98.7% correct classification was achieved. Spectra from trace amounts of lipstick smears deposited on fibres were also analysed and classified using the same technique. 100% correct classification of these samples was achieved. This study has demonstrated that Raman spectroscopy is an invaluable tool for discriminating between lipstick samples under a range of forensically relevant situations.
Spin-one-half particles in strong electromagnetic fields: spin effects and radiation reaction

description: Various classical models of electrons including their spin degrees of freedom are commonly applied to describe the electron dynamics in strong electromagnetic fields. We demonstrate that different models can lead to different or even contradicting predictions regarding how the spin degree of freedom modifies the electron's orbital motion when the electron moves in strong electromagnetic fields. This discrepancy is rooted in the model-specific energy dependency of the spin-induced Stern-Gerlach force acting on the electron. The Frenkel model and the classical Foldy-Wouthuysen model are compared exemplarily in the nonrelativistic and the relativistic limits in order to identify parameter regimes where these classical models make different predictions. This allows for experimental tests of these models. In ultrastrong laser setups in parameter regimes where effects of the Stern-Gerlach force become relevant, radiation-reaction effects are also expected to set in. We incorporate the radiation reaction classically via the Landau-Lifshitz equation and demonstrate that although radiation-reaction effects can have a significant effect on the electron trajectory, the Frenkel model and the classical Foldy-Wouthuysen model remain distinguishable also if radiation-reaction effects are taken into account. Our calculations are also suitable to verify the Landau-Lifshitz equation for the radiation reaction of electrons and other spin-1/2 particles.

description: In the study an analysis of the unemployed population inhabiting the area of each of the Lesser Poland Province`s 22 districts was conducted. Each of the objects was described using seven variables (among others : the rate of the unemployed aged over 55 years, the representation of the unemployed under 24 years of age, the representation of people who have completed tertiary education in the group of the registered unemployed, the representation of the disabled in the group of the unemployed, the number of the registered unemployed for each job offer, the unemployment rate). Next, after choosing from the group the potential diagnostic variables fulfilling the formal requirements, the districts were grouped using Wroclaw taxonomy. Four groups characterized by similar intensity of the adverse phenomena prevailing on the local job markets were singled out. In the conclusion an analysis of the obtained groups was conducted.

Technoeconomic Analysis of Laser Powder Bed Fusion to Produce High-Performance Metal Heat Exchangers

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: Engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Additive manufacturing (AM) is a promising option to deliver manufacturing innovation needed to produce the high performance heat exchangers (HX) needed to advance clean energy technologies. While AM has great potential to address HX manufacturing challenges, it also presents cost and environmental challenges. In Chapter 2, I evaluate laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) AM costs for an HX design for concentrating solar power (CSP) with molten salt thermal storage using process-based cost modeling (PBCM). I use this PBCM to identify HX design and LPBF process changes that reduce projected HX cost from $750/kW-th to $220/kW-th. I also identify pathways to further reduce projected cost to $140-160/kW-th by leveraging cutting-edge advances in LPBF technology. In Chapter 3, I extend the PBCM to evaluate alternative CSP HX designs and to enable co-optimization of cost and performance for HX designs for other clean energy applications. In Chapter 4, I characterize the impact of applying productivity improvement strategies for HX on LPBF part cost, speed, and quality via expert elicitation. I find that experts believe that increasing the part footprint is more detrimental to print success than increasing part height. Experts also believe that beam shaping is expected to provide limited print time improvement while improving part quality, whereas going from one to two lasers is expected to provide a moderate print time improvement but degrade part quality. I incorporate expert quantitative insights into the Chapter 2 PBCM and show that the uncertainty in build success rates for large parts dominates expected cost reductions from laser beam shaping or multi laser printing. In Chapter 5, I develop a framework to track metal mass flows through the AM process that comprehensively accounts for sources of uncertainty to enable comparison of various powder production processes. Through a case study of SS316 gas atomization and LPBF, I find that higher AM quality powder yields significantly reduced AM cumulative energy demand (CED), even within the range typical for gas atomization. I also find that for CED of a printed part, AM powder CED impacts part CED less than LPBF part acceptance rate.

description: In an age of exponentially increasing data generation, performing inference tasks by utilizing the available information in its entirety is not always an affordable option. The present paper puts forth approaches to render tracking of large-scale dynamic processes via a Kalman filter affordable, by processing a reduced number of data. Three distinct methods are introduced for reducing the number of data involved in the correction step of the filter. Towards this goal, the first two methods employ random projections and innovation-based censoring to effect dimensionality reduction and measurement selection respectively. The third method achieves reduced complexity by leveraging sequential processing of observations and selecting a few informative updates based on an information-theoretic metric. Simulations on synthetic data, compare the proposed methods with competing alternatives, and corroborate their efficacy in terms of estimation accuracy over complexity reduction. Finally, monitoring large networks is considered as an application domain, with the proposed methods tested on Kronecker graphs to evaluate their efficiency in tracking traffic matrices and time-varying link costs.

Machine translation is easily accessible and easy to use, but this doesn’t mean that everyone uses it in an informed way. We suggest that translators have a social responsibility for helping people outside the language professions to become informed users of machine translation, and that partnering with libraries could provide a means of reaching and educating a broad cross-section of citizens. We briefly summarize key elements of a machine translation literacy workshop that we piloted with two academic libraries, and we outline our plans for the next phase of the project with a public library.

description: The new class of hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductor (HOIS) materials, based on halide perovskites, is constantly being pursued for applications such as Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and solar cells, due to their momentous optoelectronic properties. In this work, we present a single layer LED that operates due to energy transfer effects as well as a simple, instant and low cost method for its fabrication. A LED device based on a mixture of zero dimensional (OD) (CH 3 NH 3 ) 4 PbI 6, two dimensional (2D) (F- C 6 H 4 CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 ) 2 PbI 4 and three dimensional (3D) (CH 3 NH 3 )PbI 3 HOIS, is presented for the first time. The final composite material manifests simple, yet unique energy transfer optical effects, while its electroluminescence exhibits excitonic recombination bright yellow light, peaked at 592 nm. LED device fabricated under ambient air, readily functions at room temperature and low voltages. As for the active layer, it exhibited substantial film continuity in any form of deposition. Finally, with appropriate mixtures, it is possible to create films containing phase changes that exhibit dual color emission, here presented as yellow-green.

description: One of the most typical features of modernity is the acceleration of experience, systematically ruled by the economic principle. In Benjamin's interpretation, Baudelaire's poetry identifies in that acceleration some very notable points: it is a powerful multiplier of the transience of the world; it is the domain of a movement which is paradoxically static and which sustains no change in social structures; and it represents a constitutive threat to poetry. With a radically antagonistic gesture, Baudelaire drafts various strategies to contrast modernity: to give it an accomplished form, which includes all its negativity; to represent authentically his impoverished degraded experience; to fight it with his own means, through poetry of impact and shock.

description: We present a new method for detection of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) imprints of cosmic superstructures on the cosmic microwave background, based on a matched filtering approach. The expected signal-to-noise ratio for this method is comparable to that obtained from the full cross-correlation, and unlike other stacked filtering techniques it is not subject to an a posteriori bias. We apply this method to Planck CMB data using voids and superclusters identified in the CMASS galaxy data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12, and measure the ISW amplitude to be $A_\mathrm{ISW}=1.64\pm0.53$ relative to the $Λ$CDM expectation, corresponding to a $3.1σ$ detection. In contrast to some previous measurements of the ISW effect of superstructures, our result is in agreement with the $Λ$CDM model.

Evolution Of Binary Supermassive Black Holes In Rotating Nuclei

description: Interaction of a binary supermassive black hole with stars in a galactic nucleus can result in changes to all the elements of the binary's orbit, including the angles that define its orientation. If the nucleus is rotating, the orientation changes can be large, causing large changes in the binary's orbital eccentricity as well. We present a general treatment of this problem based on the Fokker-Planck equation for f, defined as the probability distribution for the binary's orbital elements. First- and second-order diffusion coefficients are derived for the orbital elements of the binary using numerical scattering experiments, and analytic approximations are presented for some of these coefficients. Solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation are then derived under various assumptions about the initial rotational state of the nucleus and the binary hardening rate. We find that the evolution of the orbital elements can become qualitatively different when we introduce nuclear rotation: 1) the orientation of the binary's orbit evolves toward alignment with the plane of rotation of the nucleus; 2) binary orbital eccentricity decreases for aligned binaries and increases for counter-aligned ones. We find that the diffusive (random-walk) component of a binary's evolution is small in nuclei with non-negligible rotation, and we derive the time-evolution equations for the semimajor axis, eccentricity and inclination in that approximation. The aforementioned effects could influence gravitational wave production as well as the relative orientation of host galaxies and radio jets.

Practical End-to-End Analysis of Information Flow Security Policies
Creators: name: Cassel, Darion
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: C and JavaScript are widely-used languages for writing security-sensitive software, despite their inherent security issues. The widespread deployment of these languages makes them attractive targets for attackers; vulnerabilities in C programs remain common and recent years have seen a surge in attacks that target web page scripts and Node.js packages. Several types of vulnerabilities in these programs can be expressed as violations of information flow policies that specify the confidentiality and integrity of program data, or required sequences of declassification and endorsement. Prior work has proposed analysis techniques for C and JavaScript to check these policies, but a practical end-to-end analysis pipeline, applicable to real programs, requires additional solutions that enable precise, scalable analysis that minimizes manual effort. In this thesis, we develop a set of information flow policy-based modeling and analysis methodologies for checking security-sensitive software, including C cryptographic libraries, server-side Node.js applications, and website scripts. We build tools that help analysts specify and precisely check security policies on their software, without requiring manually-crafted test drivers, with reduced manual tuning to ensure analysis tractability, and with lowered effort for manual triage and confirmation of reported potential vulnerabilities. We first develop techniques to apply information flow policy checking scalably via type systems for C and via dynamic taint analysis for JavaScript. We then demonstrate how dynamic taint analysis can be used in combination with dynamic symbolic execution to improve analysis comprehensiveness. Finally, we show how information flow traces can be leveraged to synthesize concrete exploits that can then be used to automatically confirm potential vulnerabilities in real programs.

description: This talk highlights some key concerns with the growing "platformitization" of academic knowledge infrastructures that are controlled by a small number of multinational publishers. These oligarch publishers hold enormous power not only over how and where researchers publish, but also over the governance of universities as public institutions. Recent debates on open access have tended to focus on the visible problems with access (namely paywalls and licensing barriers), but insufficient attention has been given to the hidden and invisible power imbalance and asymmetry between the infrastructure providers and the users. I argue that much of these invisible and hidden elements that govern the current knowledge production system are deeply rooted in colonial practices and on Whiteness. This is why, despite the growing acceptance of open access, racial and other forms of inequities in scholarly production continues to widen. I will provide support to my arguments with case studies, and point to means for collective action for decentering Whiteness in knowledge production.

title: Propaganda, the British press and contemporary war : a comparative study of the Gulf War 1990-1991 and Kosovo conflict 1999
Creators: name: Willcox, David R.
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: The contemporary analysis of propaganda during conflict has tended to focus considerably upon visual and instant media coverage, to the detriment of the written press. This thesis is intended to redress this imbalance and counter the assumption forwarded by some academics that the press provide an anachronistic forum for news reporting. The thesis will provide a case study for those interested in propaganda theory, contemporary conflict and the press during war. The Gulf War of 1990-91 and the Kosovo Conflict of 1999 are significant for a number of reasons. First, the Gulf War was dubbed the first ‘live’ war whereas Kosovo assumed the title of the first British war of the Internet era. Second, both crises occurred post-Cold War enabling distinctions to be drawn with previous conflicts fought within a different global environment. Third, the commencement of hostilities varied greatly, the Gulf War was triggered by the invasion of Kuwait, whereas the escalation of events in Kosovo was piecemeal. Fourth, geographically the Gulf was of strategic and economic importance to Western powers, while Kosovo was a crisis in Europe’s ‘backyard’ and a test for New Labour’s ‘moral’ foreign policy. Fifth, partly due to geographical considerations, a US-led coalition force conducted the Gulf War, while Kosovo marked NATO’s first war. Finally, the Gulf War combined an air and ground assault in contrast to Kosovo won by air power alone. Despite these differences the propaganda themes utilised portrayed continuities with each and previous conflicts. To analyse the propaganda coverage of these conflicts the thesis compares five British national newspapers; The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Sun and The Daily Mirror. These newspapers provide a balance between broadsheet and tabloid coverage, a spectrum of political biases and large circulation figures. Such variations are necessary to extract the continuities that permeate the coverage. The research reveals five consistent propaganda themes; portrayal of the leader figure, portrayal of the enemy, military threat, threat to international stability and technological warfare. These five themes construct a fluid model for the analysis and understanding of propaganda content in the press during conflicts involving British forces. The thesis concludes that the propaganda themes are utilised predominantly by the press as a result of self-censorship and a compatibility of interests with the information providers.

description: We propose a novel mechanism for production of baryonic asymmetry in the early Universe. The mechanism takes advantage of the strong first order phase transition that produces runaway bubbles in the hidden sector that propagate almost without friction with ultra-relativistic velocities. Collisions of such bubbles can non-thermally produce heavy particles that further decay out-of-equilibrium into the SM and produce the observed baryonic asymmetry. This process can proceed at the very low temperatures, providing a new mechanism of post-sphaleron baryogenesis. In this paper we present a fully calculable model which produces the baryonic asymmetry along these lines as well as evades all the existing cosmological constraints. We emphasize that the Gravitational Waves signal from the first order phase transition is completely generic and can potentially be detected by the future eLISA interferometer. We also discuss other potential signals, which are more model dependent, and point out the unresolved theoretical questions related to our proposal.

description: We analyze the power counting of the peripheral singlet partial waves in nucleon-nucleon scattering. In agreement with conventional wisdom, we find that pion exchanges are perturbative in the peripheral singlets. We quantify from the effective field theory perspective the well-known suppression induced by the centrifugal barrier in the pion-exchange interactions. By exploring perturbation theory up to fourth order, we find that the one-pion-exchange potential in these channels is demoted from leading to subleading order by a given power of the expansion parameter that grows with the orbital angular momentum. We discuss the implications of these demotions for few-body calculations: though higher partial waves have been known for a long time to be irrelevant in these calculations (and are hence ignored), here we explain how to systematize the procedure in a way that is compatible with the effective field theory expansion.

Tolkien and Comparative Historical Linguistics

description: It is a well-known fact that J.R.R. Tolkien’s training as a philologist had a very strong impact on his work as a creator of languages. This paper aims to identify the influence of Tolkien’s academic background in the field of linguistic studies on the creation of his Elvish languages. Taking into account Tolkien’s earliest works on Qenya (the first of the Elvish languages to be conceived) and based on our knowledge of Tolkien’s readings in linguistics and philology, the paper analyses some peculiar uses by Tolkien in describing the language and traces them back to their likely sources. The aim of the paper is twofold: on the one side, it hopes to show that this kind of source criticism can lead us to a better understanding of Tolkien’s conception of his Elvish tongues. On the other side, the systematic comparison between Tolkien’s writings on his constructed languages and the scholarly sources that constituted his linguistic background may represent a step towards acknowledging Tolkien’s place in the history of linguistic thought.

Anisotropic Grain Boundary Networks and Their Role in Abnormal Grain Growth
Creators: name: Conry, Bryan

Subjects: Materials Engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Current grain growth models have evolved to account for the relationship between grain boundary energy/mobility anisotropy and the five degrees of grain boundary character. However, the role of grain boundary networks on overall growth kinetics remains poorly understood. To experimentally investigate this problem, a highly textured Al2O3 was fabricated by colloidal casting in a strong magnetic field to engineer a unique spatial distribution of grain boundary character. Grain growth behavior was tracked and quantified via electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) for the textured microstructure, as well as for an untextured control sample. A prevalence of (0001)/(0001) terminated grain boundaries with anisotropic networks were identified in the textured sample, which were determined to be facilitating grain growth at a faster rate than predicted by models. Additionally, although abnormal grain growth (AGG) was observed in the control sample, it was not observed in the textured microstructure. The underlying mechanisms of this unexpected behavior are explored by using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to quantify differences in the relative grain boundary energy within characteristic local networks of the textured and untextured microstructure. These findings will allow better modelling of grain growth in real polycrystalline systems by experimentally exploring the impact thereon of grain boundary plane anisotropy and relative energy/mobility differences between neighboring boundaries.

description: We present a holographic method for computing the response of Rényi entropies in conformal field theories to small shape deformations around a flat (or spherical) entangling surface. Our strategy employs the stress tensor one-point function in a deformed hyperboloid background and relates it to the coefficient in the two-point function of the displacement operator. We obtain explicit numerical results for $d=3,\dots,6$ spacetime dimensions, and also evaluate analytically the limits where the Rényi index approaches 1 and 0 in general dimensions. We use our results to extend the work of 1602.08493 and disprove a set of conjectures in the literature regarding the relations between the Rényi shape dependence and the conformal weight of the twist operator. We also extend our analysis beyond leading order in derivatives in the bulk theory by studying Gauss-Bonnet gravity.
