description: Passive Optical Networks (PON) technology brings an evolution in the industry of Telecommunication for the provisioning of High Speed Internet (HSI) and Triple Play bundled Services that includes Voice, Data, and Video Streaming throughout the world. In Pakistan most of the service providers are offering broadband services on traditional copper OSP (Outside Plant) network since 2000. Demand for the high speed internet and broadband is increasing rapidly, it is desired with great need to migrate from traditional copper based OSP network to PON _ FTTx (Fiber To The x) infrastructure. Considering the geographical requirements in Pakistan a scalable fiber network is required which can be optimized as per the users requirements and demands with high speed bandwidth efficiency, involving the minimum losses and with ideal capital expenditure (CAPEX). In this work a platform for migration from copper to fiber access network with a scalable and optimized PON _ FTTx infrastructure in green field and dry field areas of Pakistan have been proposed using Geographic Information system (GIS). In any developing country like Pakistan having the same cultural and geographical topology, this platform can be used to migrate from copper to fiber access network to provide the PON based telecom services. The developed platform for migration from copper to PON based fiber has been studied, planned, and then simulated on a selected geographical area of Pakistan with physical execution that showed better and efficient results with reduction in capital and operational expenditures. A factual plan without ambiguities assists the operators of Pakistan to analyze and forecast bandwidth requirements of an area, optimized network planning along with the in time and efficient deployment.

The fate of a red nugget: In-situ star formation of satellites around a massive compact galaxy

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: To study the accretion phase for local massive galaxies, we search accreting satellites around a massive compact galaxy (M_*~3.9x10^10Msun), spectroscopically confirmed (z_spec-1.9213) in the eXtreme Deep Field, which has been originally reported in Szomoru et al. We detect 1369 satellite candidates within the projected virial radius (rvir~300 kpc) of the compact galaxy in the all-combined ACS image with 5sigma-limiting magnitude of mACS~30.6 ABmag, which corresponds to ~1.6x10^7M_sun at the redshift. The photometric redshift measured with 12 multi-band images confirms 34 satellites out of the candidates. Most of the satellites are found to have the rest-frame colors consistent with star forming galaxies. We investigate the relation between stellar mass and star formation rate (the star formation main sequence), and find the steeper slope at the low-mass end (<10^8M_sun), while more massive satellites are consistently on the sequence reported in previous studies. Within the uncertainties of star formation and photometric redshift, we conjecture possible scenarios for the compact galaxy which evolves to a local massive galaxy by way of significant size and mass growth. While merging of the existing total stellar mass of the satellites is not enough to explain the mass growth predicted by observations and simulations, the contribution by in-situ star formation in the satellites would compensate the deficit. Provided that most satellites keep the observed in-situ star formation and then quench before they accrete by, e.g., environmental quenching, the compact galaxy would become a massive early-type galaxy consistent with the local size-mass relation.

description: A theoretical framework for protocooperative behavior in pelotons (groups of cyclists) is proposed. A threshold between cooperative and free-riding behaviors in pelotons is modeled, together comprising protocooperative behavior (different from protocooperation). Protocooperative behavior is a function of: 1. two or more cyclists coupled by drafting benefit, 2. cyclists' current power output or speed, and 3. cyclists' maximal sustainable outputs (MSO). Characteristics of protocooperative behavior include: 1. relatively low speed phase in which cyclists naturally pass each other and share highest-cost front positions, and 2. free-riding phase in which cyclists maintain speeds of those ahead, but cannot pass. Threshold for protocooperative behavior is equivalent to coefficient of drafting d, below which cooperative behavior occurs; above which free-riding occurs up to a second threshold when coupled cyclists diverge. These behaviors are also hypothesized to emerge in other biological systems involving energy savings mechanisms. Further, the tension between intra-group cooperation and inter-group competition is consistent with superorganism properties.

description: Methods for learning word representations using large text corpora have received much attention lately due to their impressive performance in numerous natural language processing (NLP) tasks such as, semantic similarity measurement, and word analogy detection. Despite their success, these data-driven word representation learning methods do not consider the rich semantic relational structure between words in a co-occurring context. On the other hand, already much manual effort has gone into the construction of semantic lexicons such as the WordNet that represent the meanings of words by defining the various relationships that exist among the words in a language. We consider the question, can we improve the word representations learnt using a corpora by integrating the knowledge from semantic lexicons?. For this purpose, we propose a joint word representation learning method that simultaneously predicts the co-occurrences of two words in a sentence subject to the relational constrains given by the semantic lexicon. We use relations that exist between words in the lexicon to regularize the word representations learnt from the corpus. Our proposed method statistically significantly outperforms previously proposed methods for incorporating semantic lexicons into word representations on several benchmark datasets for semantic similarity and word analogy.

subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: Digital intraoral receptors present an infection control challenge since they cannot be sterilized using traditional methods. This study evaluated the sporicidal effectiveness of CaviWipe®, VoloTM, and Dispatch® wipes by directly treating spore strips impregnated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores and after incubation, observing for growth. Treated spore strips were progressively washed in trypticase soy broth (TSB) to determine both spore release and residual disinfectant removal. Ethylene oxide was effective in killing spores within the sealed barrier bag. All three disinfectants totally inhibited growth when disinfectant-treated strips were placed directly in TSB. Bacterial growth was recovered after Dispatch® treatment by washing the treated strip suggesting inhibition was not sporicidal. In contrast, ten second exposures of either spore strips or contaminated PSP barrier bags with CaviWipe® or VoloTM resulted in sporicidal activity comparable to overnight sterilization with ethylene oxide. These wipes are a practical approach to decontaminate PSP barriers prior to receptor processing.

We separate the problem and show that the method of multipliers can be applied to obtain a solution efficiently and in a decentralized fashion, i.e. all local estimators can compute their filter gains locally and iteratively, with communications restricted to their neighbours. The convergence properties of the iterative algorithm are analyzed and interpreted.

A Comparative Study of Three-implant Supported Fixed Dentures and Two-implant Retained Overdentures in Edentulous Mandible: Treatment Efficacy and Patient Satisfaction
Creators: name: Chang, Kuang-Han
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: The mandibular two-implant overdentures have been shown to be a highly successful treatment. However, for patients who desire a fixed prosthesis, overdentures may not satisfy their needs. This prospective study is aimed to compare (1) prosthetic outcome, (2) patient satisfaction, and (3) survival rates of Astra Tech implants between two-implant overdentures (2IOD) and three-implant fixed dentures (3IFD). Twenty complete edentulous patients were randomly and equally assigned to two groups. The implants were immediate loaded with a relined denture right after denture delivery and implant surgery. Ball attachments were inserted at 8 weeks and 3IFD delivered at 16 weeks. Patient satisfaction and panoramic radiographic survey were investigated at 6 and 12 months. Both treatments had significant and positive effect in patient satisfaction and quality of life. None of the fifty implants had failed at 6 months follow-up; therefore, implant survival rate was 100%. Prosthetic complications were generally few and easily manageable.

description: We study spin transport in lateral spin valves with constricted channels. Using electromigration, we modulate the spin accumulation by continuously varying the width of the non-magnetic channel at a single location. By fitting the non-local spin signal data as a function of the non-magnetic channel resistance, we extract all the relevant parameters regarding spin transport from a single device. Simulations show that constricting the channel blocks the diffusion of the accumulated spins rather than causing spin flipping. This result could be used to improve the design of future spintronic devices devoted to information processing.

The evolution of oscillator wave functions

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider some of the methods that can be used to reveal the general features of how wave functions evolve with time in the harmonic oscillator. We first review the periodicity properties over each multiple of a quarter of the classical period of oscillation. Then we show that any wave function can be simply transformed so that its centroid, defined by the expectation values of position and momentum, remains at rest at the center of the oscillator. This implies that we need only consider the evolution of this restricted class of wave functions; the evolution of all others can be reduced to these. The evolution of the spread in position $Δ_x$ and momentum $Δ_p$ throws light on energy and uncertainty and on squeezed and coherent states. Finally we show that any wave function can be transformed so that $Δ_x$ and $Δ_p$ do not change with time and that the evolution of all wave functions can easily be found from the evolution of those at rest at the origin with unchanging $Δ_x$ and $Δ_p$.

Adam Smith's Account of Justice

Subjects: subject: Philosophy

description: The literature regarding Smith on justice seems to be split into roughly two camps. In the first camp, there are people who maintain that Smith provides a rights-based account of justice that is distinct from morality - one that is not grounded in natural sentiments, but rather in (something like) rights generated by positive law. In the second camp, there are people who maintain that Smith attempts to offers an account of justice grounded in sentiment, but that the account offered is an incoherent one. I disagree with both camps. By explicating the account of moral judgment and the account of justice that Smith offers in The Theory of Moral Sentiments, and demonstrating the clear link between them, I offer an alternative reading of Smith's account of justice as a sentimentalist account, one that is both coherent and fundamentally connected to morality.

description: Optimising public health physical distancing measures has been a critical part of the global response to the spread of COVID-19. Evidence collected during the current pandemic shows that the transmission rate of the virus is significantly reduced following implementation of intensive physical distancing measures. Adherence to these recommendations has been poorer than adherence to other key transmission reduction behaviours such as handwashing. There are a complex range of reasons that are likely to predict why people do not or only partially adhere to physical distancing recommendations. In the current project we aim to address the following research questions: (1) What are the psychosocial determinants of physical distancing for the general public and for key socio-demographic sub-groups (e.g., young adults, older adults, etc.)?; (2) Do current Government of Ireland COVID-19 physical distancing communications address the determinants of physical distancing?; and (3) How can communications be optimised and tailored to sub-groups to ensure maximum adherence to guidelines? These will be addressed by conducting three work packages (WPs). In WP1, we will work closely with the iCARE international study, which includes a large online survey of public responses to measures established to reduce and slow the spread of COVID-19, including physical distancing. We will analyse Irish data, comparing it to data from other countries, to identify the key psychosocial determinants of physical distancing behaviour. This will be followed by a qualitative study to explore in depth the barriers and facilitators of physical distancing behaviour among the Irish public (WP2). In WP3, we will conduct a content analysis and evidence mapping of current government messaging around physical distancing, to ensure the findings from this research feed into the development of ongoing communication and future messaging about physical distancing.

THE EFFECTS OF IONS ON MUCIN RHEOLOGY AND ORGANIZATION

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Increased mucus thickness is a common symptom of pulmonary diseases, such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and also occurs in chronic cigarette smokers. The thickening of the mucus layer is caused by a defect in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which causes an imbalance of ion transport, leading to reduced CFTR mediated Cl- dehydrated mucus layer, and poor mucociliary clearance. Here, we present data demonstrating the effects of ions that play a role in mucus layer homeostasis and their effects on mucin composition and rheology. We demonstrate that extracellular CaCl2 increases complex mucin viscosity, while MgCl2 has no effect. Furthermore, we show that HCO3- and pH effect mucin rheology, whereas lower pH and higher concentrated HCO3- results in a higher complex viscosity. While the influence of CaCl2 is not currently known, our data suggest that in excess it may contribute to the viscoelastic properties of mucus.

description: We analyze the photon statistics of a weakly driven cavity quantum electrodynamics system and discuss the effects of photon blockade and photon-induced tunneling by effectively utilizing instead of avoiding the center-of-mass motion of a two-level atom trapped in the cavity. With the resonant interaction between atom, photon and phonon, it is shown that the bunching and anti-bunching of photons can occur with properly driving frequency. Our study shows the influence of the imperfect cooling of atom on the blockade and provides an attempt to take advantage of the center-of-mass motion.

description: We measure the absolute magnitude, $H$, distribution, $dN(H) \propto 10^{αH}$ of the scattering Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) as a proxy for their size-frequency distribution. We show that the H-distribution of the scattering TNOs is not consistent with a single-slope distribution, but must transition around $H_g \sim 9$ to either a knee with a shallow slope or to a divot, which is a differential drop followed by second exponential distribution. Our analysis is based on a sample of 22 scattering TNOs drawn from three different TNO surveys, the Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey (CFEPS, Petit et al. 2011), Alexandersen et al. (2014), and the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS, Bannister et al. 2016), all of which provide well characterized detection thresholds, combined with a cosmogonic model for the formation of the scattering TNO population. Our measured absolute magnitude distribution result is independent of the choice of cosmogonic model. Based on our analysis, we estimate that number of scattering TNOs is (2.4-8.3)$\times 10^5$ for $H_r < 12$. A divot $H$-distribution is seen in a variety of formation scenarios and may explain several puzzles in Kuiper Belt science. We find that a divot $H$-distribution simultaneously explains the observed scattering TNO, Neptune Trojan, Plutino, and Centaur $H$-distributions while simultaneously predicting a large enough scattering TNO population to act as the sole supply of the Jupiter-Family Comets.

description: Previous research has shown that confrontation of intergroup bias, also known as bystander anti-prejudice (Stewart et al., 2014), can be an effective method of reducing intergroup bias (e.g., Chaney & Sanchez, 2018; Czopp et al., 2006). Despite this, research has also suggested that it is relatively uncommon for bystanders to engage in confrontation, for example, only 40% of Americans surveyed by Hyers (2007) reported that they had confronted discrimination. There is therefore a clear need to develop interventions which can effectively increase confrontation of intergroup bias. To develop such interventions however, a comprehensive understanding of the factors that affect whether an individual confronts intergroup bias is needed. This is the aim of the current research, which draws on the COM-B model (Michie et al., 2011), and the Theoretical Domains Framework (Cane et al., 2012) in a mixed-methods online questionnaire to understand why people do (or don’t) confront intergroup bias in others. Separate questionnaires will examine confrontation of bias towards Black people; transgender people; Muslim people; women; Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) people, and people with disabilities.
Constraining the Strength and CP Structure of Dark Production at the LHC: the Associated Top-Pair Channel

description: We consider the production of dark matter in association with a pair of top quarks, mediated by a scalar or pseudoscalar particle in a generic Simplified Model. We demonstrate that the difference of azimuthal angle between the two leptons $Δϕ_{ll}$, in the dileptonic top decay mode, can directly probe the CP-properties of the mediator. We estimate the constraints to strength and CP-structure of dark matter production for these well-motivated Simplified Models from the LHC Run II.

Magnetization reversal of giant perpendicular magnetic anisotropy at the magnetic-phase transition in FeRh films on MgO

description: Phenomena originated from spin-orbit interaction, such as magnetic anisotropy (MA), Rashba-type interactions, or topological insulators, have drawn huge attention for its intriguing physics. In particular, the search for a novel antiferromagnetic material, with potentially large perpendicular MA (PMA), has been becoming very intensive for next-generation high density memory applications. Here, we propose that substitutions of transition metals Ru and Ir, neighboring and same group elements in the periodic table, for the Rh site in the vicinity of surface can induce a substantially large PMA, up to an order of magnitude of 20 erg/cm2, in FeRh films on MgO. The main driving mechanism for this huge PMA is the interplay between the dxy and dx2-y2 states of strong spin-orbit 4d and 5d orbitals. Further investigations demonstrate that magnetization direction of PMA undergoes a transition into an in-plane magnetization at the antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic phase transition, which provides a viable route for achieving large and switchable PMA associated with the magnetic-phase transition in antiferromagnetic spintronics.

ADDRESSING HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS VACCINATION RATES IN THE 11-12 YEAR OLD AGE GROUP THROUGH IMPROVED PROVIDER RECOMMENDATION
Creators: name: Harberger, Erica

description: Background/Purpose: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States and the cause of significant morbidity and mortality from HPV-related cancers. The HPV vaccine is recommended for 11-12 year olds for the prevention of HPV-related cancers.  Although HPV is recommended at the same visit as the Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Tdap) vaccine and Meningococcal vaccine, HPV vaccination rates remain low and trail Tdap and Meningococcal vaccination rates. Health care providers report the need for education of HPV and strategies to address vaccine hesitancy. Literature shows that providers with high HPV vaccination rates provide strong recommendations for the vaccine and parents report that the provider recommendation has the most influence on the decision to vaccinate. The purpose of this study is to determine influential factors for parental acceptance or refusal of the HPV vaccine and to increase HPV vaccination rates by improving provider recommendation for the HPV vaccine through education and implementation of an evidence-based communication tool.
      Methods: The study was conducted at a pediatric primary care practice in North Carolina. Participant recruitment and consent took place on site.  Participants completed a pre- and post-communication survey, online education module, and pre- and post-knowledge assessment. Providers implemented the AAP HPV Champion toolkit for the recommendation for the HPV vaccine at 11-12 year old well visits over a three-month time period.  During the same period, parents of 11-12 year old patients presenting for well visits were surveyed regarding influential factors for their decision to accept or refuse the HPV vaccine for their child.
      Results: Provider knowledge of HPV increased after completing the education.  Vaccine rates increased from baseline with the most significant improvement in HPV vaccine rates. Reasons for parental acceptance or refusal of the HPV vaccine reflect what is found in the literature.
      Conclusions and Implications: Provider education and implementation of an evidence-based communication tool for the recommendation of the HPV vaccine can increase HPV vaccination rates in the 11-12 year old age group.  Understanding influential factors for the acceptance or refusal of the HPV vaccine can be used to strengthen HPV vaccine recommendations.
A simple framework for the axiomatization of exponential and quasi-hyperbolic discounting

description: The main goal of this paper is to investigate which normative requirements, or axioms, lead to exponential and quasi-hyperbolic forms of discounting. Exponential discounting has a well-established axiomatic foundation originally developed by Koopmans (1960, 1972) and Koopmans et al. (1964) with subsequent contributions by several other authors, including Bleichrodt et al. (2008). The papers by Hayashi (2003) and Olea and Strzalecki (2014) axiomatize quasi-hyperbolic discounting. The main contribution of this paper is to provide an alternative foundation for exponential and quasi-hyperbolic discounting, with simple, transparent axioms and relatively straightforward proofs. Using techniques by Fishburn (1982) and Harvey (1986), we show that Anscombe and Aumann's (1963) version of Subjective Expected Utility theory can be readily adapted to axiomatize the aforementioned types of discounting, in both finite and infinite horizon settings.

Speed, time, and space in the futurist synthetic theater
Creators: name: Conrad, Sydney
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: This study attempts to analyze the futurist synthetic theater in a new perspective focusing on how speed contributed to the synthetic theater's form. In order to achieve this task, I start with examining the state of Italian theater before futurism to frame the futurists' demands in establishing a new kind of theater. The relationship between futurism and the synthetic is further illuminated through an analysis of the manifestos that the movement created. Characteristics seen in these manifestos, such as symbolism, dynamism, the illogical and alogical, and speed are examined within their relationship to the synthetic theater to provide a textual understanding of the synthetic plays. After analyzing some synthetic plays, I revisit the concept of speed, time, and space by presenting Paul Virilio's view on dromology. Virilio helps us to understand the synthetic theater beyond the textual analysis as he explains the function of velocity through a historical perspective.
