description: Consider a class of null-recurrent randomly biased walks on a super-critical Gaton-Watson tree. We obtain the rates of convergence of the local times and the quenched local probability for the biased walk in the sub-diffusive case. These results are a consequence of a sharp estimate on the return time, whose analysis is driven by a family of concave recursive equations on trees.
description: I am grateful to Pierre Rousselin who has kindly pointed out a mistake in the original version. In this corrected version, the case kappa>2 remains unchanged, but the results in the cases (1 < kappa <= 2) are weaker than that stated in the original version: we only obtain the rates of convergence instead of the exact equivalence with an explicit constant

The Contribution of Spiral Arms to the Thick Disk along the Hubble Sequence

description: The first mechanism invoked to explain the existence of the thick disk in the Milky Way Galaxy, were the spiral arms. Up-to-date work summon several other possibilities that together seem to better explain this component of our Galaxy. All these processes must affect differently in distinct types of galaxies, but the contribution of each one has not been straightforward to quantify. In this work, we present a first comprehensive study of the effect of the spiral arms in the formation of thick disks, as going from early to late type disk galaxies, in an attempt to characterize and quantify this specific mechanism in galactic potentials. To this purpose, we perform numerical simulations of test particles in a three-dimensional spiral galaxy potential of normal spiral galaxies (from early to late types). By varying the parameters of the spiral arms we found that the vertical heating of the stellar disk becomes very important in some cases, and strongly depends on the galaxy morphology, pitch angle, arms mass and its pattern speed. The later the galaxy type, the larger is the effect on the disk heating. This study shows that the physical mechanism causing the vertical heating is different from simple resonant excitation. The spiral pattern induce chaotic behavior not linked necessarily to resonances but to direct scattering of disk stars, which leads to an increase of the velocity dispersion. We applied this study to the specific example of the Milky Way Galaxy, for which we have also added an experiment that includes the Galactic bar. From this study we deduce that the effect of spiral arms of a Milky-Way-like potential, on the dynamical vertical heating of the disk is negligible, unlike later galactic potentials for disks.

Macroscopic traversable wormholes with zero tidal forces inspired by noncommutative geometry

description: This paper addresses the following issues: (1) the possible existence of macroscopic traversable wormholes, given a noncommutative-geometry background, and (2) the possibility of allowing zero tidal forces, given a known density. It is shown that whenever the energy density describes a classical wormhole, the resulting solution is incompatible with quantum field theory. If the energy density originates from noncommutative geometry, then zero tidal forces are allowed. Also attributable to the noncommutative geometry is the violation of the null energy condition. The wormhole geometry satisfies the usual requirements, including asymptotic flatness.

description: The Kepler mission discovered 2842 exoplanet candidates with 2 years of data. We provide updates to the Kepler planet candidate sample based upon 3 years (Q1-Q12) of data. Through a series of tests to exclude false-positives, primarily caused by eclipsing binary stars and instrumental systematics, 855 additional planetary candidates have been discovered, bringing the total number known to 3697. We provide revised transit parameters and accompanying posterior distributions based on a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm for the cumulative catalogue of Kepler Objects of Interest. There are now 130 candidates in the cumulative catalogue that receive less than twice the flux the Earth receives and more than 1100 have a radius less than 1.5 Rearth. There are now a dozen candidates meeting both criteria, roughly doubling the number of candidate Earth analogs. A majority of planetary candidates have a high probability of being bonafide planets, however, there are populations of likely false-positives. We discuss and suggest additional cuts that can be easily applied to the catalogue to produce a set of planetary candidates with good fidelity. The full catalogue is publicly available at the NASA Exoplanet Archive.

In situ Electromagnetic Emissions Assessment: Progress and Challenges Ahead
Creators: name: Azpurua, Marco
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Certain types of equipment cannot be installed or operated in standardized test sites because of size, power, or safety constraints. As the typical EMC standard test procedures are hardly applicable in such conditions, the in situ evaluation emerges as the most practical alternative. Some meaningful examples where in situ EMC testing is required are PV systems, large robots, and some elements of the EV charging infrastructure. This lecture dives into the topic of in-situ electromagnetic emissions test methods and discusses why they are so important yet controversial. For this purpose, the difficulties faced when performing interference assessments under uncontrolled on-site conditions are analyzed and broken down. Then, the state of the art concerning in-situ emissions measurements is summarized to identify the gaps in the established methodologies. The latest research results will be overviewed, emphasizing the outcomes from European-funded research projects. As part of such projects, significant progress has been made in aspects such as faster instrumentation, multi-channel measurements, and ambient noise mitigation based on time-domain techniques. Moreover, recent standardization initiatives will be discussed, highlighting the aspects where industry and regulation authorities struggle to find consensus and technical compromise.

description: OBJECTIVE: To examine the short-term effects of salpingectomy during laparoscopic hysterectomy on ovarian reserve when ovarian preservation is planned in view of determining the feasibility of conducting the study on a larger scale.

DESIGN: Pilot randomized controlled trial.

SETTING: Tertiary care, academic medical center.

PATIENT(S): Thirty premenopausal women aged 18 to 45 years undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy with ovarian preservation for benign indications from April 2012 to September 2012.

INTERVENTION(S): Bilateral salpingectomy (n = 15) versus no salpingectomy (n = 15) at the time of laparoscopic hysterectomy with ovarian preservation.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Antimüllerian hormone (AMH) measured preoperatively, at 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively, and at 3 months postoperatively, with operative time and estimated blood loss abstracted from the medical records.

RESULT(S): The mean AMH levels were not statistically significantly different at baseline (2.26 vs. 2.25 ng/ml), 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively (1.03 vs. 1.25 ng/ml), or 3 months postoperatively (1.86 vs. 1.82 ng/ml) among women with salpingectomy versus no salpingectomy, respectively. There was also no statistically significant temporal change in the mean AMH level from baseline to 3 months postoperatively (-0.07 vs. -0.08 ng/ml) between the two groups. No difference in operative time (116 vs. 115 minutes) or estimated blood loss (70 vs. 91 mL) was observed.

CONCLUSION(S): Salpingectomy at the time of laparoscopic hysterectomy with ovarian preservation is a safe procedure that does not appear to have any short-term deleterious effects on ovarian reserve, as measured by AMH level. Conducting a trial of this nature that is adequately powered with long-term follow-up evaluation would be feasible and is required to definitively confirm these results.

description: This study explores the negotiation process underpinning the creation of authentic experiences in luxury lodges. The findings of this study highlight how this is a balancing act performed by the hosts through the provision of an authentic experiential platform connecting guests with unique places and genuine people and is of a luxurious nature. Staged experiences are authenticated by the guests through their bodies and minds, activating, in turn, experiences of existential authenticity. Contributing to service marketing and management literature, the study departs from purely abstract authenticity conceptualisations by applying an experience design and management lens to understanding authentic experiences. Practically, our findings demonstrate how authenticity is operationalised in luxury lodges and how these experiences are understood and valued by tourism and hospitality consumers and providers, providing crucial implications for luxury accommodation marketers and managers.
Molecular Engineering of Rheology and Pinching Dynamics of Formulations

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Hydrophobic stickers, charged micelles, and charged particles provide hydrophilic flexible polymers with temporary, dynamic junctions with association-disassociation time that changes with polymer concentration and deformation. Macromolecular engineering of formulations typically relies on the characterization of response to shear flow, with velocity gradients perpendicular to flow direction, emulating processing flows through channels and drag flows near moving solid surfaces. However, characterizing extensional rheology response has remained a longstanding challenge, even though streamwise velocity gradients, associated with extensional flows, often arise during processing especially during dispensing and liquid transfer by dripping, jetting, or spraying. In this contribution, we examine the contrasting influence of dynamic associations on macromolecular dynamics and formulation rheology in response to shear flows using torsional rheometry and extensional flows with dripping-onto-substrate (DoS) rheometry. We find that dynamic associations help to tweak the rate-dependent rheological response, to facilitate easier dispensing and coating, better sagging, leveling, and storage while reducing misting and stringiness.

The Effect of Demographic Shifts and Nationalism on Demographic Group Threat

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: United States population projections suggest that White Americans will become less than half of the US population within the next 50 years, but do Christian Americans experience threat about their religion’s future decline through the same psychological processes as White Americans? Across three studies (N=1454), nationalism, support for diversity, and outgroup prejudice were assessed as mediators between political orientation and threat toward demographic shifts. Consistently across three studies, conservative White and Christian Americans were more likely to express nationalist sentiments than liberals, a pattern related to greater threat perceptions to demographic shifts. Liberal White and Christian Americans tended to respond with greater support for diversity than conservatives, a support that was affiliated more strongly with less perceived threat. Racial prejudice toward minority groups did not emerge as an explanatory variable for racial demographic shifts, but Christian prejudice toward Atheists did mediate between political orientation and religious demographic threat. Taken altogether, knowledge of a national increase in racial and religious diversity may affect White and Christian liberals and conservatives differently through the respective psychological pathways of nationalism and attitudes toward diversity.

description: Results for the equation of state in 2+1 flavor QCD at zero net baryon density using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action by the HotQCD collaboration are presented. The strange quark mass was tuned to its physical value and the light (up/down) quark masses fixed to $m_l = 0.05m_s$ corresponding to a pion mass of 160 MeV in the continuum limit. Lattices with temporal extent $N_t=6$, 8, 10 and 12 were used. Since the cutoff effects for $N_t>6$ were observed to be small, reliable continuum extrapolations of the lattice data for the phenomenologically interesting temperatures range $130 \mathord{\rm MeV} < T < 400 \mathord{\rm MeV}$ could be performed. We discuss statistical and systematic errors and compare our results with other published works.

description: In many countries of the world the topics of climate change, environment protection and green technologies are some of the most discussed points in the last years. United States of America makes no exception, as green technologies are becoming more prevalent, especially since the government has committed to adapt the legislation to favor the development of such technologies, as well as to directly fund green investments by both private individuals,companies, as well as local communities.On top of the green energy market, another industry is set to expand in the US, that of the timber processing industry.Whenever such changes occur and new technologies are developed and implemented, there is a clear market for suppliers of the respective industry to grow.This business plan focuses on the expansion of the US market of a specialist European construction company that is one of the key suppliers for certain green technologies, like the biogas industry that produces renewable energy, as well as for the timber processing plants.In this Business Plan, after the Introduction and the Executive Summary, we make an analysis of the current and future industry on the US market, to see how the market currently looks like and what can we anticipate for the future.In the next chapter we describe the new venture, and in the following couple of chapters we go deeper into the details of the new venture, creating a plan for production and operations, to see how the newly created business will function. Afterwards, we will look into how sales can be generated from potential clients, by creating a marketing plan. Following these, we will make an organizational plan, to establish the ownership structure, as well as the roles and responsibilities of various persons involved in the venture.Any new business carries also a risk, therefore in the next chapter we assess these by 3 different methods. Subsequently comes the financial plan, detailing the company's expected income and expenditures in the first years.In the end we summarize our findings from the previous chapters, in a brief but comprehensive summary.

description: Recent work suggests blue ellipticals form in mergers and migrate quickly from the blue cloud of star-forming galaxies to the red sequence of passively evolving galaxies, perhaps as a result of black hole feedback. Such rapid reddening of stellar populations implies that large gas reservoirs in the pre-merger star-forming pair must be depleted on short time scales. Here we present pilot observations of atomic hydrogen gas in four blue early-type galaxies that reveal increasing spatial offsets between the gas reservoirs and the stellar components of the galaxies, with advancing post-starburst age. Emission line spectra show associated nuclear activity in two of the merged galaxies, and in one case radio lobes aligned with the displaced gas reservoir. These early results suggest that a kinetic process (possibly feedback from black hole activity) is driving the quick truncation of star formation in these systems, rather than a simple exhaustion of gas supply.

Art Criticism in the Wild: Wolfgang Paalen, Clement Greenberg, and Lucy Lippard
Creators: name: Bivens, Rebecca T
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Mid-century American art critics held conflicting views about emotion. Whereas Wolfgang Paalen and Lucy Lippard understood emotion as immediate—as wild and uncontrollable as the weather—Clement Greenberg thought that even the wildest of emotions are necessarily mediated. Feeling for form, as Greenberg came to define it, meant cultivating art’s capacity to reflect on the ideas and values that undergird wild emotion. An intellectual history, this dissertation demonstrates that the notion that emotions are wild is deeply rooted in American art criticism, developing alongside the arrival of the surrealist émigrés in New York and Mexico City during World War II and continuing into the present. Working to reorient affect theory, I draw on the philosopher Martha Nussbaum and historian Ruth Leys to reveal that an unrecognized conflict between wild and formal feeling motivates art critical discourse. Chapter 1 shows that Paalen’s art and writings of the early 1940s draw on surrealist primitivism to suggest that emotions are, in a metaphor of the critic’s choosing, like sudden gusts of wind that capture us by surprise. Chapter 2 examines Clement Greenberg’s response to the surrealist idea that emotions are wild and untamable. Declaring that “if art is wild it must be irrelevant,” the artworks he found moving used form to reflect on raw emotions and refused to relish being “amazed by experience” and “overpowered.” Chapter 3 begins in the mid-1960s, with Lucy Lippard working toward a non-judgmental art criticism. Her writings on erotic art explore a surrealistic conception of free love that presents raw and immediate bodily sensation in a deadpan, value-free manner. The coda considers the limits of wild emotion through an analysis of Jack Halberstam’s 2021 book Wild Things: The Disorder of Desire. Although Paalen, Lippard and Halberstam reject formal feeling, in the end we do not have to. This dissertation asks what value formal feeling can bring to contemporary art history’s queer, feminist and anti-racist critical paradigms. We do not have to enter critical exchange believing that our emotions are the result of forces beyond our control. To the contrary, they powerfully indicate what we want for art and society.

description: Water oxidation is critically important for the development of energy solutions based on the concept of artificial photosynthesis. In order to gain deeper insight into the mechanism of water oxidation, the catalytic cycle for the first designed water oxidation catalyst, cis,cis-[(bpy)2(H2O)RuIIIORuIII(OH2)(bpy)2]4+ (bpy is 2,2-bipyridine) known as the blue dimer (BD), is monitored in D2O by combined application of stopped flow UV-Vis, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and resonance Raman spectroscopy on freeze quenched samples. The results of these studies show that the rate of formation of BD[4,5] by Ce(IV) oxidation of BD[3,4] (numbers in square bracket denote oxidation states of the ruthenium (Ru) centers) in 0.1 M HNO3, as well as further oxidation of BD[4,5] are slower in D2O by 2.1–2.5. Ce(IV) oxidation of BD[4,5] and reaction with H2O result in formation of an intermediate, BD[3,4]′, which builds up in reaction mixtures on the minute time scale. Combined results under the conditions of these experiments at pH 1 indicate that oxidation of BD[3,4]′ is a rate limiting step in water oxidation with the BD catalyst.

description: High spin states in 105Cd were studied using 16O beam on 92Mo reaction at an incident beam energy of 75 MeV. The level scheme of 105Cd has been observed up to an excitation energy of 10.8 MeV with the addition of 30 new gamma transitions to the previous work. Spin and parity for most of the reported levels are assigned from the DCO ratios and linear polarization measurements. The microscopic origin of the investigated band structures is discussed in the context of triaxial projected shell model. The energies of observed positive and negative parity bands agree with the predictions of the TPSM by considering triaxial deformation for the observed excited band structures. The shape evolution with increasing angular momentum is explained in the framework of Cranked Shell Model and the Total Routhian Surface calculations.

description: BackgroundParent-reported 24-h diet recalls are an accepted method of estimating intake in young children. However, many children eat while at childcare making accurate proxy reports by parents difficult.ObjectiveThe goal of this study was to demonstrate a method to impute missing weekday lunch and daytime snack nutrient data for daycare children and to explore the concurrent predictive and criterion validity of the method.DesignData were from children aged 2-5 years in the My Parenting SOS project (n=308; 870 24-h diet recalls). Mixed models were used to simultaneously predict breakfast, dinner, and evening snacks (B+D+ES); lunch; and daytime snacks for all children after adjusting for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). From these models, we imputed the missing weekday daycare lunches by interpolation using the mean lunch to B+D+ES [L/(B+D+ES)] ratio among non-daycare children on weekdays and the L/(B+D+ES) ratio for all children on weekends. Daytime snack data were used to impute snacks.ResultsThe reported mean (± standard deviation) weekday intake was lower for daycare children [725 (±324) kcal] compared to non-daycare children [1,048 (±463) kcal]. Weekend intake for all children was 1,173 (±427) kcal. After imputation, weekday caloric intake for daycare children was 1,230 (±409) kcal. Daily intakes that included imputed data were associated with age and sex but not with BMI.ConclusionThis work indicates that imputation is a promising method for improving the precision of daily nutrient data from young children.

description: Polygenic scores enable the quantitative prediction of phenotype from genotype, and the application of polygenic scores to emerging genomic cohorts promises to revolutionise the prediction of complex traits such as disease risk. However, existing software for the calculation of polygenic scores are poorly-suited to modern genomic data, requiring cumbersome and lossy conversion steps. These steps demand significant computational and storage resources, and their lossy nature can impact the accuracy of the resulting polygenic scores. In all, current software for polygenic score calculation are a poor match to modern genomics data, and an impediment to the integration of polygenic scores into genomics research and clinical genomics pipelines.

 Here we present nimpress, a lightweight and portable tool for exact polygenic score calculation, direct from VCF or BCF. nimpress has rich inbuilt imputation options tailored to modern sequencing data, and computes polygenic scores more than 10 times faster than existing software, while using a few percent of the memory. nimpress also includes helper scripts to create polygenic scores from published summary statistics. These scripts automatically handle identifier conversion, consistency checking, and tag SNP imputation, to dramatically reduce the effort and error involved in the definition of new polygenic scores.

 nimpress is available as open source code, static binary, and Docker images, to enable the rapid and simple integration of polygenic scores into existing genomics workflows.

description: Despite low elemental abundance of atomic deuterium in interstellar medium (ISM), observational evidences suggest that several species in gas-phase and in ices could be heavily fractionated. We explore various aspects of deuterium enrichment by constructing a chemical evolution model in gas and grain phases. Depending on various physical parameters, gas and grains are allowed to interact with each other through exchange of their chemical species. It is known that HCO+ and N2H+ are two abundant gas phase ions in ISM and their deuterium fractionation are generally used to predict degree of ionization in various regions of a molecular cloud. To have a more realistic estimation, we consider a density profile of a collapsing cloud. We present radial distributions of important interstellar molecules along with their deuterated isotopomers. We carry out quantum chemical simulation to study effects of isotopic substitution on spectral properties of these important interstellar species. We calculate vibrational (harmonic) frequency of the most important deuterated species (neutral & ions). Rotational and distortional constants of these molecules are also computed to predict rotational transitions of these species. We compare vibrational (harmonic) and rotational transitions as computed by us with existing observational, experimental and theoretical results. We hope that our results would assist observers in their quest of several hitherto unobserved deuterated species.

description: We study the charge transport properties of triangular quantum dot molecule (TQDM) connected to metallic electrodes, taking into account all correlation functions and relevant charging states. The quantum interference (QI) effect of TQDM resulting from electron coherent tunneling between quantum dots is revealed and well interpreted by the long distance coherent tunneling mechanism. The spectra of electrical conductance of TQDM with charge filling from one to six electrons clearly depict the many-body and topological effects. The calculated charge stability diagram for conductance and total occupation numbers match well with the recent experimental measurements. We also demonstrate that the destructive QI effect on the tunneling current of TQDM is robust with respect to temperature variation, making the single electron QI transistor feasible at higher temperatures.

description: The gravitational Standard-Model Extension (SME) is the general field-theory based framework for the analysis of CPT and Lorentz violation. In this work we summarize the implications of Lorentz and CPT violation for antimatter gravity in the context of the SME. Implications of various attempts to place indirect limits on anomalous antimatter gravity are considered in the context of SME-based models.

description: Being the most fundamental, yet most under-appreciated and unrewarded sector of all, farmers are often left out from any society-friendly policies. In this Covid-19 pandemic, the food supply chain will not be secured without the time and effort from farmers. Thus, farm produce cultivation should be treated as one of the most essential sectors of all, instead of leaving aside while its being exploited by middlemen.

 Vicious market price fluctuation, coupled with unpredictable weather, and so on are enough to cause disastrous season to the farmers. After many thorough researches conducted, studies have shown that financial supports, technical services, and transparent policies are what the farmers hope for, especially those struggling farmers.

 “Everyday, even after the effort and we still have stock left, sometimes we may sell to restaurant for half of the buying price.”

 With “No Poverty”, the first Sustainable Development Goals, set as our main idea for farmers, a new social solution named FarmBid is created. FarmBid is named with 2 crucial factors involved, farmers and bidding plaform.

 FarmBid provides 2 selling methods such as fix price selling which is suitable for short shelf life products and open for bidding which is for long shelf life products. This can help to sell their product at its fullest daily.

 We also aim to narrow down the profit gap between the upstream and the downstream. Furthermore, we believe that FarmBid is effective to create a healthy community among the farmers whereby they are enlightened with up-to-date and accurate market information.

description: The vertices of any (combinatorial) Kashiwara crystal graph carry a natural monoid structure given by identifying words labelling vertices that appear in the same position of isomorphic components of the crystal. Working on a purely combinatorial and monoid-theoretical level, we prove some foundational results for these crystal monoids, including the observation that they have decidable word problem when their weight monoid is a finite rank free abelian group. The problem of constructing finite complete rewriting systems, and biautomatic structures, for crystal monoids is then investigated. In the case of Kashiwara crystals of types $A_n$, $B_n$, $C_n$, $D_n$, and $G_2$ (corresponding to the $q$-analogues of the Lie algebras of these types) these monoids are precisely the generalised plactic monoids investigated in work of Lecouvey. We construct presentations via finite complete rewriting systems for all of these types using a unified proof strategy that depends on Kashiwara's crystal bases and analogies of Young tableaux, and on Lecouvey's presentations for these monoids. As corollaries, we deduce that plactic monoids of these types have finite derivation type and satisfy the homological finiteness properties left and right $\mathrm{FP}_\infty$. These rewriting systems are then applied to show that plactic monoids of these types are biautomatic and thus have word problem soluble in quadratic time.

description: In low- and middle income countries, the distribution of childhood nutritional diseases is shifting from a predominance of undernutrition to a dual burden of under- and overnutrition. This novel and complex problem challenges governments and health organizations to tackle opposite ends of the malnutrition spectrum. The dual burden may manifest within a community, household, or individual, but these different levels have not been addressed collectively.

description: The entire food value chain and diet of low and middle income countries (LMICs) are rapidly shifting. Many of the issues addressed by the nutrition community ignore some of the major underlying shifts in purchases of consumer packaged foods and beverages. At the same time, the drivers of the food system at the farm level might be changing. There is a need for the agriculture and nutrition communities to understand these changes and focus on some of their implications for health. This rapid growth of the retail sector will change the diets of the food insecure as much as that of the food secure across rural and urban LMIC’s. This short commentary contents that current research, programs and policies are ignoring these rapid dynamic shifts.
