The Importance, Effectiveness, and Decontamination of Face Masks and Respirators in Preventing COVID-19 Exposure as it Travels Through the Environment
Creators: name: Sharma, Shalini

Year: 2021

description: Face mask use during the COVID-19 pandemic has been shown to effectively reduce the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, especially when everyone who is interacting closely wears one while talking, breathing, coughing, or sneezing, by reducing the amount of exposure to viral droplets and aerosols. There has been a huge global shortage in masks, however, which makes it hard to fully protect the public, especially frontline healthcare workers and those in developing countries. Some face masks, such as N95 respirators, are made of fabrics efficient in blocking and retaining small airborne particles and are custom fitted to the face to offer more protection than surgical or fabric masks, though any mask is better protection than nothing. One way to conserve PPE during this pandemic is to sterilize and reuse masks, and research is currently being done to discern the most effective and practical decontamination procedure that does not damage the structural integrity of the masks themselves. This report addresses the types, properties and protective performance of face masks and related face protection options, such as face shields, the various methods to decontaminate and disinfect face masks for reuse, the relevant knowledge and research gaps that exist and some recommendations to address these gaps.

description: A large set of independent astronomical observations have provided a strong evidence for nonbaryonic dark matter in the Universe. One of the most investigated candidates is an unknown long-lived Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) which was in thermal equilibrium with the primeval plasma. Here we investigate the WIMP abundance based on the relativistic kinetic treatment for gravitationally induced particle production recently proposed in the literature (Lima \& Baranov, Phys. Rev. D {\bf 90}, 043515, 2014). The new evolution equation is deduced and solved both numerically and also through a semi-analytical approach. The predictions of the WIMP observables are discussed and compared with the ones obtained in the standard approach.

description: We study the dynamics of a modified-gravity theory, which is supplemented by an extended Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary term and incorporates diffeomorphism violation through nondynamical background fields denoted as $u$ and $s^{μν}$ in the literature. An ADM decomposition allows us to project the modified Einstein equations into purely spacelike hypersurfaces, which implies the field equations for the induced dynamical three-metric. We also obtain the Hamilton-Jacobi equations of motion for the canonical variables of the theory based on its Hamiltonian, which was derived in a previous work. The computations show that the dynamical field equations obtained from the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approaches are consistent with each other. Connections to Brans-Dicke theory and ghost-free massive gravity are established.

description: We implement numerically formulas of [Isaev, Novikov, arXiv:2107.07882] for finding a compactly supported function $v$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 1$, from its Fourier transform $\mathcal{F} [v]$ given within the ball $B_r$. For the one-dimensional case, these formulas are based on the theory of prolate spheroidal wave functions, which arise, in particular, in the singular value decomposition of the aforementioned band-limited Fourier transform for $d = 1$. In multidimensions, these formulas also include inversion of the Radon transform. In particular, we give numerical examples of super-resolution, that is, recovering details beyond the diffraction limit.

description: Observations indicate that some of the largest Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) have retained volatiles in the gas phase, which implies the presence of an atmosphere that can affect their reflectance spectra and thermal balance. Volatile escape rates driven by solar heating of the surface were estimated by Schaller and Brown (2007) (SB) and Levi and Podolak (2009)(LP) using Jeans escape from the surface and a hydrodynamic model respectively. Based on recent molecular kinetic simulations these rates can be hugely in error (e.g., a factor of $\sim 10^{16}$ for the SB estimate for Pluto). In this paper we estimate the loss of primordial N$_2$ for several large KBOs guided by recent molecular kinetic simulations of escape due to solar heating of the surface and due to UV/EUV heating of the upper atmosphere. For the latter we extrapolate simulations of escape from Pluto (Erwin et al. 2013) using the energy limited escape model recently validated for the KBOs of interest by molecular kinetic simulations (Johnson et al. 2013). Unless the N$_2$ atmosphere is thin ($\lesssim 10^{18}$ N$_2$/cm$^2$) and/or the radius small ($\lesssim 200-300$ km), we find that escape is primarily driven by the UV/EUV radiation absorbed in the upper atmosphere rather than the solar heating of the surface. This affects the previous interpretations of the relationship between atmospheric loss and the observed surface properties. The long-term goal is to connect detailed atmospheric loss simulations with a model for volatile transport (e.g., Young, 2014) for individual KBOs.

description: Likert-style surveys are a widely used research instrument to assess respondents' preferences, beliefs, or experiences. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate how network analysis (NA) can be employed to model and evaluate the interconnectedness of items in Likert-style surveys. We explore the advantages of this approach by applying the methodology to the aspects of student experience scale datasets and compare the results to the principal component analysis. We successfully create a meaningful network based on survey item response similarity and use modular analysis of the network to identify larger themes built from the connections of particular aspects. The modular NA of the network of survey items identifies important themes that highlight differences in students' overall experiences. Our network analysis for Likert-style surveys methodology is widely applicable and provides a new way to investigate phenomena assessed by Likert-style surveys.

description: Several traversable wormholes (T-WHs) of the Morris-Thorne type have been presented as exact solutions of Einstein-nonlinear electrodynamics gravity (GR-NLED), e.g. \cite{Arellano2009, Bronnikov2018,Bronnikov_Walia2021, Canate_Breton2018, Canate_Breton_Ortiz2020, Canate_Magos_Breton2020}. However, none of these solutions is support by a nonlinear electrodynamics model satisfying plausible conditions. In this work, we present the first traversable wormhole solution of Einstein-nonlinear electrodynamics gravity coupled to a self-interacting phantom scalar field (GR-NLED-SF) with a NLED model such that in the limit of weak field becomes the Maxwell electrodynamics, is presented. Furthermore, we show that this novel T-WH spacetime is also an exact solution of the Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (EsGB) theory with a nonlinear electrodynamics source, but now with a real scalar field having a positive kinetic term.

Coherence in a cold atom photon transistor

description: Recent experiments have realized an all-optical photon transistor using a cold atomic gas. This approach relies on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in conjunction with the strong interaction among atoms excited to high-lying Rydberg states. The transistor is gated via a so-called Rydberg spinwave, in which a single Rydberg excitation is coherently shared by the whole ensemble. In its absence the incoming photon passes through the atomic ensemble by virtue of EIT while in its presence the photon is scattered rendering the atomic gas opaque. An important current challenge is to preserve the coherence of the Rydberg spinwave during the operation of the transistor, which would enable for example its coherent optical read-out and its further processing in quantum circuits. With a combined field theoretical and quantum jump approach and by employing a simple model description we investigate systematically and comprehensively how the coherence of the Rydberg spinwave is affected by photon scattering. With large-scale numerical calculations we show how coherence becomes increasingly protected with growing interatomic interaction strength. For the strongly interacting limit we derive analytical expressions for the spinwave fidelity as a function of the optical depth and bandwidth of the incoming photon.

description: We present a non-linear Langevin model to investigate the early-stage dynamics of electrified polymer jets in electrospinning experiments. In particular, we study the effects of air drag force on the uniaxial elongation of the charged jet, right after ejection from the nozzle. Numerical simulations show that the elongation of the jet filament close to the injection point is significantly affected by the non-linear drag exerted by the surrounding air. These result provide useful insights for the optimal design of current and future electrospinning experiments.

description: Max-convolution is an important problem closely resembling standard convolution; as such, max-convolution occurs frequently across many fields. Here we extend the method with fastest known worst-case runtime, which can be applied to nonnegative vectors by numerically approximating the Chebyshev norm $\| \cdot \|_\infty$, and use this approach to derive two numerically stable methods based on the idea of computing $p$-norms via fast convolution: The first method proposed, with runtime in $O( k \log(k) \log(\log(k)) )$ (which is less than $18 k \log(k)$ for any vectors that can be practically realized), uses the $p$-norm as a direct approximation of the Chebyshev norm. The second approach proposed, with runtime in $O( k \log(k) )$ (although in practice both perform similarly), uses a novel null space projection method, which extracts information from a sequence of $p$-norms to estimate the maximum value in the vector (this is equivalent to querying a small number of moments from a distribution of bounded support in order to estimate the maximum). The $p$-norm approaches are compared to one another and are shown to compute an approximation of the Viterbi path in a hidden Markov model where the transition matrix is a Toeplitz matrix; the runtime of approximating the Viterbi path is thus reduced from $O( n k^2 )$ steps to $O( n $k \log(k))$ steps in practice, and is demonstrated by inferring the U.S. unemployment rate from the S&P 500 stock index.
WHERE MONEY GROWS ON TREES: JOB CREATION AND ECONOMIC IMPACT OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
Creators: name: Emily Galvin

Year: 2021

description: Environmental management and restoration are commonly valued according to the benefits they provide to a community, such as through increased food production or recreation values. However, cost-benefit analyses of environmental regulation often fail to incorporate economic impact–or jobs created and value added to the economy–of environmental management for climate change adaptation. Projected increases in precipitation intensity may require governments to devise new policies to manage urban stormwater. Green infrastructure (GI) can be an effective tool for stormwater management. In this paper, I conduct an analysis of the economic impact generated by the construction of green infrastructure in Washington, D.C. from 2015 to 2020. I collect data from contractors in the District to determine annual investment in GI during the study period and use these results in an input-output modeling software (IMPLAN v.6) to estimate economic impact. This analysis found that GI construction in D.C. from 2015 to 2020 directly supports 1,744 jobs, $404,627,207 in economic output, and $265,776,575 in value added to the D.C. metro area economy. This analysis is intended to provide a more comprehensive accounting for the economic feasibility of green infrastructure for urban stormwater management.

description: The possibility of exchanging the quantum correlations and the non-local information between three qubits interact directly or indirectly via Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM)is discussed. The initial state settings and the interaction strength represent control parameters on the exchanging phenomena. The non-local information that encoded on the different partitions doesn't exceed the initial one. It is shown that, the ability of DM interaction to generate entanglement is larger than that displayed for the dipole interaction. The possibility of maximizing the quantum correlations between the three qubits increases as one increase the strength of interaction and starting with large initial quantum correlations. The long-lived quantum correlations could be achieved by controlling the strength of the dipole interaction.

description: We compute Out-of-Time-Order correlators (OTOCs) for conformal field theories (CFTs) subjected to either continuous or discrete periodic drive protocols. This is achieved by an appropriate analytic continuation of the stroboscopic time. After detailing the general structure, we perform explicit calculations in large-$c$ CFTs where we find that OTOCs display an exponential, an oscillatory and a power-law behaviour in the heating phase, the non-heating phase and on the phase boundary, respectively. In contrast to this, for the Ising CFT representing an integrable model, OTOCs never display such exponential growth. This observation hints towards how OTOCs can demarcate between integrable and chaotic CFT models subjected to a periodic drive. We further explore properties of the light-cone which is characterized by the corresponding butterfly velocity as well as the Lyapunov exponent. Interestingly, as a consequence of the spatial inhomogeneity introduced by the drive, the butterfly velocity, in these systems, has an explicit dependence on the initial location of the operators. We chart out the dependence of the Lyapunov exponent and the butterfly velocities on the frequency and amplitude of the drive for both protocols and discuss the fixed point structure which differentiates such driven CFTs from their un-driven counterparts.

description: Local starbursts have a higher efficiency of converting gas into stars, as compared to typical star-forming galaxies at a given stellar mass, possibly indicative of different modes of star formation. With the peak epoch of galaxy formation occurring at z > 1, it remains to be established whether such an efficient mode of star formation is occurring at high-redshift. To address this issue, we measure the molecular gas content of seven high-redshift (z ~ 1.6) starburst galaxies with the Atacama Large (sub-)Millimeter Array and IRAM/Plateau de Bure Interferometer. Our targets are selected from the sample of Herschel far-infrared detected galaxies having star formation rates (~300-800 Msolar/yr) elevated (>4x) above the star-forming `main sequence', and included in the FMOS-COSMOS near-infrared spectroscopic survey of star-forming galaxies at z ~ 1.6 with Subaru. We detect CO emission in all cases at high levels of significance, indicative of high gas fractions (~30-50%). Even more compelling, we firmly establish with a clean and systematic selection that starbursts, identified as main-sequence outliers, at high redshift generally have a lower ratio of CO to total infrared luminosity as compared to typical main-sequence star-forming galaxies, although with a smaller offset than expected based on past studies of local starbursts. We put forward a hypothesis that there exists a continuous increase in star formation efficiency with elevation from the main sequence with galaxy mergers as a possible physical driver. Along with a heightened star formation efficiency, our high-redshift sample is similar in other respects to local starbursts such as being metal rich and having a higher ionization state of the interstellar medium.

description: In lab-scale Faraday experiments, meniscus waves respond harmonically to small-amplitude forcing without threshold, hence potentially cloaking the instability onset of parametric waves. Their suppression can be achieved by resorting to a contact line pinned at the container brim with static contact angle $θ_s=90^{\circ}$ (brimful condition). However, tunable meniscus waves are desired in some applications as those of liquid-based biosensors, where they can be controlled adjusting the shape of the static meniscus by slightly under/over-filling the vessel ($θ_s\ne90^{\circ}$) while keeping the contact line fixed at the brim. Here, we refer to this wetting condition as nearly-brimful. Although classic inviscid theories based on Floquet analysis have been reformulated for the case of a pinned contact line (Kidambi 2013), accounting for (i) viscous dissipation and (ii) static contact angle effects, including meniscus waves, makes such analyses practically intractable and a comprehensive theoretical framework is still lacking. Aiming at filling this gap, in this work we formalize a weakly nonlinear analysis via multiple timescale method capable to predict the impact of (i) and (ii) on the instability onset of viscous sub-harmonic standing waves in both brimful and nearly-brimful circular-cylinders. Notwithstanding that the form of the resulting amplitude equation is in fact analogous to that obtained by symmetry arguments (Douady 1990), the normal form coefficients are here computed numerically from first principles, thus allowing us to rationalize and systematically quantify the modifications on the Faraday tongues and on the associated bifurcation diagrams induced by the interaction of meniscus and sub-harmonic parametric waves.
Independence test for high dimensional data based on regularized canonical correlation coefficients

description: This paper proposes a new statistic to test independence between two high dimensional random vectors ${\mathbf{X}}:p_1\times1$ and ${\mathbf{Y}}:p_2\times1$. The proposed statistic is based on the sum of regularized sample canonical correlation coefficients of ${\mathbf{X}}$ and ${\mathbf{Y}}$. The asymptotic distribution of the statistic under the null hypothesis is established as a corollary of general central limit theorems (CLT) for the linear statistics of classical and regularized sample canonical correlation coefficients when $p_1$ and $p_2$ are both comparable to the sample size $n$. As applications of the developed independence test, various types of dependent structures, such as factor models, ARCH models and a general uncorrelated but dependent case, etc., are investigated by simulations. As an empirical application, cross-sectional dependence of daily stock returns of companies between different sections in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is detected by the proposed test.

Zum Ende seiner Karriere war Botschafter Iten Delegierter der Schweiz bei der UNESCO und der Frankophonie in Paris. Seine Laufbahn brachte ihn dabei immer wieder an die Brennpunkte der Weltgeschichte, so zum Beispiel bei der Botschaftsbesetzung in Bogotá 1980, bei der Vertretung der US-Interessen im Iran 1981/82, während dem Falklandkrieg oder im Nahostkonflikt. Die mit zahlreichen Bildern versehenen Memoiren von Ernst Iten geben einen eindrücklichen Einblick in das Leben eines Schweizer Diplomaten.

description: Contexte Les patients atteints de brûlures subissent parfois ce que l’on appelle des douleurs neuropathiques. Ces douleurs représentent une véritable problématique car elles deviennent très souvent chroniques, sont difficiles à traiter et diminuent fortement la qualité de vie des patients qui en souffrent. La détection et l’évaluation de ces douleurs neuropathiques peuvent être réalisées en identifiant les facteurs de risque et en utilisant plusieurs outils différents, et cela déjà dès les premiers jours de prise en charge de ces patients. Objectif Le but de ce travail de Bachelor est d’identifier le rôle infirmier dans la détection et l’évaluation de la douleur neuropathique chez les patients adultes hospitalisés atteints de brûlures. Cette revue de littérature propose également certaines recommandations dans la pratique infirmière suisse pour le type de population concernée. Méthode Ce travail est une revue de littérature récoltée sur les bases de données PubMed et Cinhal. Six articles scientifiques ont été retenus et analysés. Résultats Les différents facteurs de risques influençant le développement des douleurs neuropathiques post-brûlure sont : l’âge avancé de la personne, la consommation de tabac, l’abus d’alcool ou de substances illicites, l’épaisseur de la brûlure, le nombre élevé de chirurgies reçues pour opérer ces brûlures, la durée prolongée de l’hospitalisation, la surface corporelle totale atteinte ainsi que l’intubation sur une ventilation assistée. L’évaluation des douleurs neuropathiques en phase aiguë est plus efficace lorsqu’elle est faite avec l’outil DN4 et peut être réalisée de manière adaptée par les équipes infirmières. Conclusion En tant qu’infirmières, il est de notre rôle de considérer en amont tous les facteurs de risque, comme d’évaluer la présence de ces douleurs neuropathiques déjà en phase aiguë à l’aide d’outils adaptés, afin d’améliorer la prise en charge de ce type de douleurs et d’éviter leur évolution en douleurs neuropathiques chroniques.
Mapping the Apodemes of the Haltere Steering Muscles in Drosophila melanogaster

description: Insects demonstrate some of the most masterful flying abilities in the animal kingdom, while also battling the physiological constraints of their small size and high wing-beat frequency.
Drosophila melanogaster, in particular, are ideal organisms for the study of flight control due to their streamlined physiology and impressive maneuverability during flight. Like all Diptera, Drosophila have small appendages called halteres attached to their thoraxes where hindwings would typically be. The halteres beat antiphase to the wings and function like gyroscopes. They have also been shown to act as adjustable metronomes for flight control, dynamically adjusting the firing phase of the wing steering muscles. An important factor in understanding the flight control of Drosophila is how flies are able to change the trajectory of their halteres and transmit sensory and timing feedback to the wing steering system. Though the steering muscles of the halteres have been identified, researchers still do not understand what length changes these muscles undergo during flight and how they are recruited by motor neurons. In order to understand how Drosophila generate haltere trajectory changes, a thorough understanding of these steering muscles is required. This research sought to gain a clearer picture of the functioning of the haltere steering muscles and how they generate force by mapping the tendon-like structures called apodemes that attach to the steering muscles. To achieve this, I imaged and created confocal stacks of the haltere steering muscles and their apodemes in order to identify the number and location of the apodemes. I then imaged the apodemes during flight. My analysis showed that the basalar apodemes are fused to one another and that the largest and most prominent apodemes of the haltere are the fused basalar apodeme as well as the apodeme of the hIII2 axillary muscle. These findings indicate a particularly important role for these muscles in controlling haltere trajectory changes and, thus, in influencing flight. Furthermore, given that the basalar apodemes are fused to one another, this finding also provides insight into how those two muscles are recruited in tandem by their corresponding motor neurons.

description: This work presented the preparation and characterization of mesoporous AlPO4 and AlSiO4 by the sol-gel method with the help of isopropylamine as a template. Isopropylamine is a microporous template and it creates only 0–2 nm pores but in the present study, the same template creates mesoporosity in AlPO4 and AlSiO4. The synthesized material properties are characterized by XRD, IR, TGA, BET, TPD, SEM-EDX and HR-TEM. The results confirmed that the synthesized materials are crystalline, tetrahedral framework, thermal stability (800 °C), mesoporosity of AlPO4 (9 nm) and AlSiO4 (7 nm), the acidity of AlPO4 is 0.53 mmol/g and AlSiO4 is 1.16 mmol/g and it exhibits crystalline morphology. Catalytic activities are verified by biodiesel synthesis from waste cooking oil (WCO) as a low-cost feedstock by transesterification reaction. It was identified that the maximum selectivity of biodiesel over AlPO4 and AlSiO4 (89 and 96%) was achieved at room temperature. These catalysts are active at room temperature may be due to their porous nature. The results revealed that AlSiO4 is a more effective catalyst to synthesize biodiesel than AlPO4. These catalysts are environmentally friendly and reusable with the same efficiency.
Glide reflection symmetry, Brillouin zone folding and superconducting pairing for the $P4/nmm$ space group

description: Motivated by the studies of the superconducting pairing states in the iron-based superconductors, we analyze the effects of Brillouin zone folding procedure from a space group symmetry perspective for a general class of materials with the $P4/nmm$ space group. The Brillouin zone folding amounts to working with an effective one-Fe unit cell, instead of the crystallographic two-Fe unit cell. We show that the folding procedure can be justified by the validity of a glide reflection symmetry throughout the crystallographic Brillouin zone and by the existence of a minimal double degeneracy along the edges of the latter. We also demonstrate how the folding procedure fails when a local spin-orbit coupling is included although the latter does not break any of the space group symmetries of the bare Hamiltonian. In light of these general symmetry considerations, we further discuss the implications of the glide reflection symmetry for the superconducting pairing in an effective multi-orbital $t-J_{1}-J_{2}$ model. We find that the $P4/nmm$ space group symmetry allows only pairing states with even parity under the glide reflection and zero total momentum.
“Romance Itself is Political”: The Power of the Popular Romance Novel and its Attempts at Feminism
Creators: name: Eccles, Gennifer
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: My thesis examines four popular romance novels from the 1970s to 2010s: The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen Woodiwiss, Temptation's Kiss by Sandra Brown, Dark Lover by J.R. Ward, and A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole. My thesis questions, "Are romance novels feminist?" Through interdisciplinary textual analysis--fat studies, disability studies, women's studies, and more were considered--my thesis argues that all five novels elucidate feminist themes. However, only one text, A Princess in Theory, succeeds as a feminist text. My thesis argues that popular romance novels have greatly improved since the 1970s, but more intentional work in diversifying the genre and the publishing process must be done for the genre to fully realize its feminist potential.

description: In the strong light-matter coupling regime realized e.g. by integrating semiconductors into optical microcavities, polaritons as new hybrid light-matter quasi-particles are formed. The corresponding change in the dispersion relation has a large impact on optics, dynamics and transport behaviour of semiconductors. In this work, we investigate the strong-coupling regime in hBN-encapsulated MoSe$_2$ monolayers focusing on exciton-polariton diffusion. Applying a microscopic approach based on the exciton density matrix formalism combined with the Hopfield approach, we predict a drastic increase of the diffusion coefficients by two to three orders of magnitude in the strong coupling regime. We explain this behaviour by the much larger polariton group velocity and suppressed polariton-phonon scattering channels with respect to the case of bare excitons. Our study contributes to a better microscopic understanding of polariton diffusion in atomically thin semiconductors.

description: In der Barockforschung ist inzwischen anerkannt, dass die Literatur der Frühen Neuzeit – und hier vor allem die Gelegenheitsdichtung, die Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist – in besonderer Weise von außerliterarischen Bedingungen und Voraussetzungen sowie vom sozialen Beziehungsgeflecht bestimmt ist. Das belegen die bis heute trotz Kriegs- und sonstiger Verluste massenweise erhaltenen Dokumente, die aufgrund ihrer Menge bisher meist nur – wenn überhaupt – für einzelne Städte bzw. Regionen erfaßt und erschlossen worden sind. Mit dieser Arbeit wurde erstmalig der Versuch unternommen, die in Osnabrück noch vorhandenen Drucke für den Zeitraum 1615 bis 1793 bibliographisch zu erfassen sowie deren Autoren und AdressatInnen den für die frühneuzeitliche Literaturproduktion einschlägigen Institutionen Osnabrücks zuzuordnen.

description: On September 9 2014 several incidences of foul smell (rotten eggs) were reported on the coast of Norway (in particular in the vicinity of Molde) and then on September 10 in the interior parts of county Västerbotten, Sweden. One of the theories that were put forward was that the foul smell was due to degassing of the Bardarbunga volcano on Iceland. Using satellite images (GOME-1,-2) of the sulphur dioxide, SO_2, contents in the atmosphere surrounding Iceland to estimate flux of SO_2 from the volcano and an atmospheric transport model, PELLO, we vindicate this theory: we argue that the cause for the foul smell was hydrogen sulphide originating from Bardarbunga. The model concentrations are also compared to SO_2 concentration measurements from Muonio, Finland.
