description: This thesis investigates factors that contribute to constituting Pakistan’s post-colonial national identity of high–school students, studying in six state-schools located in Islamabad, Pakistan. It draws on two sets of data – compulsory textbooks for grades 9-12, and the field-research data collected from the students of the same grades, using participatory tools and focus-group interviews. Taking a holistic view, the study also conducted interviews with teachers and observed school sites to investigate their roles in shaping students’ national belonging. The study of the textbooks offers an insight into the themes which Pakistan’s education–system–actors employ for positioning students within Pakistani nationalism, and the field–data those of teachers’ and students’ self–positioning vis–à–vis these. The analytical framework of this phenomenological qualitative study is based on Foucault’s Discourse Analysis and his notions of technologies of power and self for the subject constitution. The study also appropriates insight from a postcolonial theoretical perspective.The findings suggest ideological use of the school-education where the textbooks represent Islam as Pakistan’s overarching national identity, encourage students to view Pakistan’s national language, religious–minorities and women through a particular Islamic lens, and consider India as an existentialist threat to Pakistan. The study notes the dynamic interplay of the sampled textbooks, the schoolteachers and the school as a site of discursive social practices. Jointly, they position students within (a) a homogenous singular Islamic national group in love with Urdu (b) gendered female identity and (c) Indian centric militaristic national identity for shaping their national belonging to Pakistan. The study notes participating students’ strong identification with the above-identified themes delineating ‘us’ and ‘them’ exclusively on the religious basis while disregarding indigenous languages and cultures, exuding a gendered approach towards women and relishing strong antagonistic Indian centric national identity. This education might well foster self–righteousness, a distorted world-view and an exclusionary approach towards women, religious–minorities and pluralistic identities/cultures. Also, it entails implications for students’ social and psychological wellbeing, their social inclusion, women empowerment, national cohesion, international peaceful co-existence and several global sustainable development goals (SDGs), 2030.

description: We report observations of the optical counterpart of the long gamma-ray burst (LGRB) GRB 221009A. Due to the extreme rarity of being both nearby ($z = 0.151$) and highly energetic ($E_{γ,\mathrm{iso}} \geq 10^{54}$ erg), GRB 221009A offers a unique opportunity to probe the connection between massive star core collapse and relativistic jet formation across a very broad range of $γ$-ray properties. Adopting a phenomenological power-law model for the afterglow and host galaxy estimates from high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope imaging, we use Bayesian model comparison techniques to determine the likelihood of an associated SN contributing excess flux to the optical light curve. Though not conclusive, we find moderate evidence ($K_{\rm{Bayes}}=10^{1.2}$) for the presence of an additional component arising from an associated supernova, SN 2022xiw, and find that it must be substantially fainter ($<$ 67% as bright at the 99% confidence interval) than SN 1998bw. Given the large and uncertain line-of-sight extinction, we attempt to constrain the supernova parameters ($M_{\mathrm{Ni}}$, $M_{\mathrm{ej}}$, and $E_{\mathrm{KE}}$) under several different assumptions with respect to the host galaxy's extinction. We find properties that are broadly consistent with previous GRB-associated SNe: $M_{\rm{Ni}}=0.05$ - $0.25 \, \rm{M_\odot}$, $M_{\rm{ej}}=3.5$ - $11.1 \, \rm{M_\odot}$, and $E_{\rm{KE}} = (1.6$ - $5.2) \times 10^{52} \, \rm{erg}$. We note that these properties are weakly constrained due to the faintness of the supernova with respect to the afterglow and host emission, but we do find a robust upper limit on the $M_{\rm{Ni}}$ of $M_{\rm{Ni}}<0.36\, \rm{M_\odot}$. Given the tremendous range in isotropic gamma-ray energy release exhibited by GRBs (7 orders of magnitude), the SN emission appears to be decoupled from the central engine in these systems.

description: Mobile devices are rapidly becoming the primary computing device in people's lives. Application delivery platforms like Google Play, Apple App Store have transformed mobile phones into intelligent computing devices by the means of applications that can be downloaded and installed instantly. Many of these applications take advantage of the plethora of sensors installed on the mobile device to deliver enhanced user experience. The sensors on the smartphone provide the opportunity to develop innovative mobile opportunistic sensing applications in many sectors including healthcare, environmental monitoring and transportation. In this paper, we present a collaborative mobile sensing framework namely Mobile Sensor Data EngiNe (MOSDEN) that can operate on smartphones capturing and sharing sensed data between multiple distributed applications and users. MOSDEN follows a component-based design philosophy promoting reuse for easy and quick opportunistic sensing application deployments. MOSDEN separates the application-specific processing from the sensing, storing and sharing. MOSDEN is scalable and requires minimal development effort from the application developer. We have implemented our framework on Android-based mobile platforms and evaluate its performance to validate the feasibility and efficiency of MOSDEN to operate collaboratively in mobile opportunistic sensing applications. Experimental outcomes and lessons learnt conclude the paper.

description: The sampling frame in most social science surveys misses members of certain groups, such as the homeless or individuals living with HIV. These groups are known as hard-to-reach groups. One strategy for learning about these groups, or subpopulations, involves reaching hard-to-reach group members through their social network. In this paper we compare the efficiency of two common methods for subpopulation size estimation using data from standard surveys. These designs are examples of mental link tracing designs. These designs begin with a randomly sampled set of network members (nodes) and then reach other nodes indirectly through questions asked to the sampled nodes. Mental link tracing designs cost significantly less than traditional link tracing designs, yet introduce additional sources of potential bias. We examine the influence of one such source of bias using simulation studies. We then demonstrate our findings using data from the General Social Survey collected in 2004 and 2006. Additionally, we provide survey design suggestions for future surveys incorporating such designs.

description: In this paper we develop a method to estimate both individual social network size (i.e., degree) and the distribution of network sizes in a population by asking respondents how many people they know in specific subpopulations (e.g., people named Michael). Building on the scale-up method of Killworth et al. and other previous attempts to estimate individual network size, we propose a latent non-random mixing model which resolves three known problems with previous approaches. As a byproduct, our method also provides estimates of the rate of social mixing between population groups. We demonstrate the model using a sample of 1,370 adults originally collected by McCarty et al. (2001). Based on insights developed during the statistical modeling, we conclude by offering practical guidelines for the design of future surveys to estimate social network size. Most importantly, we show that if the first names to be asked about are chosen properly, the simple scale-up degree estimates can enjoy the same bias-reduction as that from the our more complex latent non-random mixing model.

description: We demonstrate the accuracy of ground-state energies of the transcorrelated Hamiltonian, employing sophisticated Jastrow factors obtained from variational Monte Carlo, together with the coupled cluster and distinguishable cluster methods at the level of singles and doubles excitations. Our results show that already with the cc-pVTZ basis the transcorrelated distinguishable cluster method gets close to complete basis limit and near full configuration interaction quality values for relative energies of over thirty atoms and molecules. To gauge the performance in different correlation regimes we also investigate the breaking of the nitrogen molecule with transcorrelated coupled cluster methods. Numerical evidence is presented to further justify an efficient way to incorporate the major effects coming from the three-body integrals without explicitly introducing them into the amplitude equations.

description: The generation and conduction of action potentials represents a fundamental means of communication in the nervous system, and is a metabolically expensive process. In this paper, we investigate the energy efficiency of neural systems in a process of transfer pulse signals with action potentials. By computer simulation of a stochastic version of Hodgkin-Huxley model with detailed description of ion channel random gating, and analytically solve a bistable neuron model that mimic the action potential generation with a particle crossing the barrier of a double well, we find optimal number of ion channels that maximize energy efficiency for a neuron. We also investigate the energy efficiency of neuron population in which input pulse signals are represented with synchronized spikes and read out with a downstream coincidence detector neuron. We find an optimal combination of the number of neurons in neuron population and the number of ion channels in each neuron that maximize the energy efficiency. The energy efficiency depends on the characters of the input signals, e.g., the pulse strength and the inter-pulse intervals. We argue that trade-off between reliability of signal transmission and energy cost may influence the size of the neural systems if energy use is constrained.

description: We present the first deep polarimetric study of Galactic synchrotron emission at low radio frequencies. Our study is based on 21 observations of the European Large Area Infrared Space Observatory Survey-North 1 (ELAIS-N1) field using the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) at frequencies from 114.9 to 177.4 MHz. These data are a part of the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Deep Fields Data Release 1. We used very low-resolution ($4.3'$) Stokes QU data cubes of this release. We applied rotation measure (RM) synthesis to decompose the distribution of polarised structures in Faraday depth, and cross-correlation RM synthesis to align different observations in Faraday depth. We stacked images of about 150 hours of the ELAIS-N1 observations to produce the deepest Faraday cube at low radio frequencies to date, tailored to studies of Galactic synchrotron emission and the intervening magneto-ionic interstellar medium. This Faraday cube covers $\sim36~{\rm deg^{2}}$ of the sky and has a noise of $27~{\rm μJy~PSF^{-1}~RMSF^{-1}}$ in polarised intensity. This is an improvement in noise by a factor of approximately the square root of the number of stacked data cubes ($\sim\sqrt{20}$), as expected, compared to the one in a single data cube based on five-to-eight-hour observations. We detect a faint component of diffuse polarised emission in the stacked cube, which was not detected previously. Additionally, we verify the reliability of the ionospheric Faraday rotation corrections estimated from the satellite-based total electron content measurements to be of $~\sim0.05~{\rm rad~m^{-2}}$. We also demonstrate that diffuse polarised emission itself can be used to account for the relative ionospheric Faraday rotation corrections with respect to a reference observation.

description: After a large church concert on 1 March 2020 and a first detected infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on 9 March, the southern German community of Kupferzell in the federal state Baden-Württemberg faced a steep increase of SARS-CoV-2 infections. Investigations of the local health authorities showed increasing evidence of community spreading in a complex and chronologically dense pattern of travel returnees who attended a choir and trombone church concert. Wide-reaching infection prevention and local control measures were implemented starting in the week of the first case detection, followed by additional measures such as a ban on gatherings in the federal state starting mid-March. The number of SARS-CoV-2 infections peaked in March but waned in April, and there were only three cases in May (Figure). There were three deaths, aged 59, 81 and 91 years. The cumulative incidence of 1,760 per 100,000 in Kupferzell by the end of April was, at the time of the study, one of the highest in Germany. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) set out to analyse the SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in a random sample of this community from 20 May to 9 June.

Friendship among adult female blue monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis)

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Animal behavior

subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: A study group of blue monkeys in the Kakamega Forest, Kenya, provides data on friendly relationships between adult females. Females are invariably antagonistic toward members of other groups, and collaborate with their own groupmates in defending territorial boundaries. Females are primarily responsible for these aggressive intergroup encounters, which occur every other day on average. Encounters are often immediately followed by intense grooming among adult females, which gives the impression of reinforcing the collaborative team. In some lower-density populations, intergroup aggression is rare; in these populations, and at Kakamega as well, female groupmates may provide other or additional services, such as protection against predators or aggressive males. Friendships among females of a single group are differentiated. Individuals interact with certain grooming and proximity partners much more than others. Despite low rates of agonism, blue monkey females also show stable if shallow dominance relationships, and linear hierarchies. Rank is not correlated with diet, feeding behavior or reproductive rate. Coalition formation is rare, and these females do not groom up the hierarchy. Grooming may simply be traded for itself, leading to highly symmetrical grooming bouts. Blue monkeys have been misclassified in theoretical papers on socioecology. Their behavior seems not to fit these models well, because certain features of their social system, related to within-group contest competition, do not co-occur as expected. Their hierarchical dominance relationships are also surprising, because rank seems to be uncorrelated with fitness-related variables. Finally, the rarity of affiliative behavior exhibited by these monkeys suggests that new ways of measuring friendships may be appropriate. The possible importance of, and reasons for, rare within-group coalitions are discussed.

description: We present Hαimages of an ionized nebula surrounding the M2-5Ia red supergiant (RSG) W26 in the massive star cluster Westerlund 1. The nebula consists of a circumstellar shell or ring ~0.1pc in diameter and a triangular nebula ~0.2pc from the star that in high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope images shows a complex filamentary structure. The excitation mechanism of both regions is unclear since RSGs are too cool to produce ionizing photons and we consider various possibilities. The presence of the nebula, high stellar luminosity and spectral variability suggest that W26 is a highly evolved RSG experiencing extreme levels of mass-loss. As the only known example of an ionized nebula surrounding a RSG W26 deserves further attention to improve our understanding of the final evolutionary stages of massive stars.

description: We investigate higher derivative corrections to the extremal Kerr black hole in the context of heterotic string theory with $α'$ corrections and of a cubic-curvature extension of general relativity. By analyzing the near-horizon extremal geometry of these black holes, we are able to compute the Iyer-Wald entropy as well as the angular momentum via generalized Komar integrals. In the case of the stringy corrections, we obtain the physically relevant relation $S(J)$ at order $α'^2$. On the other hand, the cubic theories, which are chosen as Einsteinian cubic gravity plus a new odd-parity density with analogous features, possess special integrability properties that enable us to obtain exact results in the higher-derivative couplings. This allows us to find the relation $S(J)$ at arbitrary orders in the couplings and even to study it in a non-perturbative way. We also extend our analysis to the case of the extremal Kerr-(A)dS black hole.

description: The production of a heavy quark is accompanied by gluon bremsstrahlung which is suppressed at small angles $Θ\lesssim M_Q/E$ for mass $M_Q$ and high energy $E$ according to perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) (``dead cone effect''). As particles at small angles typically have large momenta, the heavy quark mass also causes a suppression of high momentum particles. In this paper, we studied this effect in c- and b-quark events using data from Z boson decays in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The heavy quark fragmentation function for charged particles is reconstructed in the momentum fraction variable $x$ or $ξ=\ln(1/x)$ by removing the decays of the heavy quark hadrons. Indeed, we find an increasing suppression of particles with rising $x$ down to a fraction of $\lesssim 1/10$ for particles with $x\gtrsim0.2$ in b-quark and $x\gtrsim0.4$ in c-quark jets in comparison to light quark fragmentation. The sensitivity to the dead cone effect in the present momentum analysis is considerably increased in comparison to the recently presented angular analysis. This amount of suppression and the differences between c- and b-quark fragmentation are in good quantitative agreement with the expectations based on perturbative QCD within the Modified Leading Logarithmic Approximation (MLLA) in the central kinematic region. The data also support a two parameter description in the MLLA of these phenomena (``Limiting Spectrum''). The sensitivity of these measurements to the heavy quark mass is investigated.

description: Animals facing seasonal variation in food availability experience selective pressures that favor behavioral adjustments such as migration, changes in activity, or shifts in diet. Eclectic omnivores such as many primates can process low-quality fallback food when preferred food is unavailable. Such dietary flexibility, however, may be insufficient to eliminate constraints on reproduction even for species that live in relatively permissive environments, such as moist tropical forests. Focusing on a forest-dwelling primate with a flexible diet (Cercopithecus mitis) we investigated whether females experience seasonal energetic stress and how it may relate to reproductive seasonality. We used fecal glucocorticoids (fGCs) as an indicator of energetic stress, controlling for the potentially confounding effects of social interactions and reproductive state. We modeled within-female fGC variation with General Linear Mixed Models, evaluating changes in feeding behavior and food availability as main effects. Regardless of reproductive state, fGCs increased when females shifted their diet towards fallback foods (mature leaves and other non-preferred items) and when they spent more time feeding, while fGCs decreased with feeding time on preferred items (insects, fruits, young leaves) and with the availability of young leaves. Changes in fruit availability had no general effects on fGCs, likely because fruits were sought out regardless of availability. As predicted, females in the energetically demanding stages of late pregnancy and early lactation showed greater increases in fGCs between periods of low versus high availability of fruits and young leaves than females in other reproductive states. Potential social stressors had no measurable effects on fGCs. Preliminary evidence suggests that seasonal energetic stress may affect the timing of infant independence from mothers and contribute to unusually long inter-birth intervals compared to closely related species of similar body size. Our findings highlight how the study of stress responses can provide insights into the proximate control of reproductive strategies.

Predator Vigilance Costs of Allogrooming in Wild Blue Monkeys

description: Although allogrooming in Catarrhine primates is often interpreted as if it were a costly behavior for the groomer, such costs have not been convincingly documented. This paper presents data on rates of vigilance for aerial predators, measured as looking up toward the sky, in wild blue monkeys engaged in allogrooming, and compares these vigilance rates to those occurring when the same individuals engaged in other activities, namely feeding and resting. Grooming individuals have much lower vigilance rates than resting or feeding individuals, suggesting that grooming individuals are more likely to be at risk of being preyed upon. These results are not caused by a systematic relationship in the sample between activity and either foliage density or time of day, two factors potentially related to levels of safety from predation. Nor was there evidence that blue monkeys avoid the vigilance costs of grooming by engaging in this behavior primarily at safe times or in safe locations. Although the data suggest that vigilance costs occur, they may accrue to the recipient ofgrooming as well as the groomer, and may be compensated for both partners by long- or short-term benefits.

description: We performed calculations of the optimized structure, harmonic vibrational frequencies and dissociation energies of RbOH and its anion, and investigate the interactions between Rb and OH$^-$ leading to possible associative detachment pathways. The electron affinity of RbOH was computed to be 0.2890 eV, with a bond energy of Rb+OH$^-$ half that of Rb+OH. To determine other possible charge loss pathways, the Rb+OH and Rb+OH$^-$ dissociation curves were computed using couple cluster methods along all possible collisional angles. An adiabatic curve crossing between the neutral and charged molecule was found at the inner wall of the molecular potential curve for linear geometries. Associative detachment rates were estimated using the Langevin ion capture cross-section for hydroxide. We find for $v\ge 2$ an associative detachment rate of $>2\times 10^{-9}$ cm$^3$s$^{-1}$, while for $v=0$ and 1 no appreciable rate exists. This strong dependence on vibrational level suggests the ability to control the associative detachment rate directly.

description: Social development initiatives stand a better chance of succeeding on the sustainability paradigm when communities and its individuals take ownership at every stage, right from planning and funding to implementation and sustainability of their initiatives. This accountability on the part of the community can be brought about by sensitising them to the need of the initiative and then empowering them to actively participate in the projects. This case study explores the social development projects of the Art of Living Foundation - a volunteer-based, humanitarian and educational non-governmental organisation based out of Bangalore – in empowering rural communities for a sustainable future. It also analyses the impact of these projects and illustrates a working model for implementation of such projects, in other rural localities in India, thus enabling these communities to become self-reliant.
Characterization and Improvement of the Thermal Stability of TES Bolometers

description: The successful detection and characterization of the B-modes in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) would dramatically illuminate the physics of the inflationary era. The Observational Cosmology Group is iterating on bolometers in an attempt to detect this signal. The previous detector design became unstable in parts of its transition when adjusted for 220/270 GHz frequencies, limiting its use.

We study the mechanism of instability in these transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers used for ground based observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at 270GHz. The instability limits the range of useful operating resistances of the TES down to ≈50% of the TES normal resistance (R_n), and due to variations in detector properties and optical loading within a column of multiplexed detectors, limits the effective on sky yield to ≈67 %.

Through comparison of 7 new detector thermal capacity designs and measurements of the electrical impedance of the detectors, we show the instability is due to the increased bolometer leg G for higher-frequency detection inducing decoupling of the palladium-gold heat capacity from the thermistor. We demonstrate experimentally that the limiting thermal resistance is due to the small cross sectional area of the silicon nitride bolometer island, and so is easily fixed by layering palladium-gold over an oxide protected TES. The resulting detectors can be biased down to a resistance ≈10% of Rn, improving the effective on-sky yield to ≈93%.

We also investigate a possibly related, unexpected slope in the Aluminum calibration TES transition and determine that it is not due to phase separation, even accounting for the science TES thermal instability.

description: We revisit the phenomenology of the deep exclusive electroproduction of a lepton pair, i.e. double deeply virtual Compton scattering (DDVCS), in view of new experiments planned in the near future. The importance of DDVCS in the reconstruction of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) in their full kinematic domain is emphasized. Using Kleiss-Stirling spinor techniques, we provide the leading order complex amplitudes for both DDVCS and Bethe-Heithler sub-processes. Such a formulation turns out to be convenient for practical implementation in the PARTONS framework and EpIC Monte Carlo generator that we use in simulation studies.

Bayesian hierarchical graph-structured model for pathway analysis using gene expression data

description: In genomic analysis, there is growing interest in network structures that represent biochemistry interactions. Graph structured or constrained inference takes advantage of a known relational structure among variables to introduce smoothness and reduce complexity in modeling, especially for high-dimensional genomic data. There has been a lot of interest in its application in model regularization and selection. However, prior knowledge on the graphical structure among the variables can be limited and partial. Empirical data may suggest variations and modifications to such a graph, which could lead to new and interesting biological findings. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian random graph-constrained model, rGrace, an extension from the Grace model, to combine a priori network information with empirical evidence, for applications such as pathway analysis. Using both simulations and real data examples, we show that the new method, while leading to improved predictive performance, can identify discrepancy between data and a prior known graph structure and suggest modifications and updates.

description: The transient black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1803-298 was discovered on 2021 May 1, as it went into outburst from a quiescent state. As the source rose in flux it showed periodic absorption dips and fit the timing and spectral characteristics of a hard state accreting black hole. We report on the results of a Target-of-Opportunity observation with NuSTAR obtained near the peak outburst flux beginning on 2021 May 13, after the source had transitioned into an intermediate state. MAXI J1803-298 is variable across the observation, which we investigate by extracting spectral and timing products separately for different levels of flux throughout the observation. Our timing analysis reveals two distinct potential QPOs which are not harmonically related at 5.4+/-0.2 Hz and 9.4+/-0.3 Hz, present only during periods of lower flux. With clear relativistic reflection signatures detected in the source spectrum, we applied several different reflection models to the spectra of MAXI J1803-298. Here we report our results, utilizing high density reflection models to constrain the disk geometry, and assess changes in the spectrum dependent on the source flux. With a standard broken power-law emissivity, we find a near-maximal spin for the black hole, and we are able to constrain the inclination of the accretion disk at 75+/-2 degrees, which is expected for a source that has shown periodic absorption dips. We also significantly detect a narrow absorption feature at 6.91+/-0.06 keV with an equivalent width between 4 and 9 eV, which we interpret as the signature of a disk wind.
