description: The dynamics of complex systems, such as ecosystems, financial markets and the human brain emerge from the interactions of numerous components. We often lack the knowledge to build reliable models for the behaviour of such network systems. This makes it difficult to predict potential instabilities. We show that one could use the natural fluctuations in multivariate time series to reveal network regions with particularly slow dynamics. The multidimensional slowness points to the direction of minimal resilience, in the sense that simultaneous perturbations on this set of nodes will take longest to recover. We compare an autocorrelation-based method to a variance-based method and compare them for different time-series lengths, data resolution and different noise regimes and show that the autocorrelation-based method is less robust for short time series or time series with a low resolution but more robust for varying noise levels. This novel approach may help to identify unstable regions of multivariate systems, or to distinguish safe from unsafe perturbations.

description: We investigate the networks of committee and subcommittee assignments in the United States House of Representatives from the 101st–108th Congresses, with the committees connected by “interlocks” or common membership. We examine the community structure in these networks using several methods, revealing strong links between certain committees as well as an intrinsic hierarchical structure in the House as a whole. We identify structural changes, including additional hierarchical levels and higher modularity, resulting from the 1994 election, in which the Republican party earned majority status in the House for the first time in more than forty years. We also combine our network approach with analysis of roll call votes using singular value decomposition to uncover correlations between the political and organizational structure of House committees.

description: Modified gravity models have been constantly proposed with the purpose of evading some standard gravity shortcomings. Recently proposed by A.H. Chamseddine and V. Mukhanov, the Mimetic Gravity arises as an optimistic alternative. Our purpose in this work is to derive Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations and solutions for such a gravity theory. We solve them numerically for quark star and neutron star cases. The results are carefully discussed.

description: We study the SIRS (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered-Susceptible) spreading processes over complex networks, by considering its exact $3^n$-state Markov chain model. The Markov chain model exhibits an interesting connection with its $2n$-state nonlinear "mean-field" approximation and the latter's corresponding linear approximation. We show that under the specific threshold where the disease-free state is a globally stable fixed point of both the linear and nonlinear models, the exact underlying Markov chain has an $O(\log n)$ mixing time, which means the epidemic dies out quickly. In fact, the epidemic eradication condition coincides for all the three models. Furthermore, when the threshold condition is violated, which indicates that the linear model is not stable, we show that there exists a unique second fixed point for the nonlinear model, which corresponds to the endemic state. We also investigate the effect of adding immunization to the SIRS epidemics by introducing two different models, depending on the efficacy of the vaccine. Our results indicate that immunization improves the threshold of epidemic eradication. Furthermore, the common threshold for fast-mixing of the Markov chain and global stability of the disease-free fixed point improves by the same factor for the vaccination-dominant model.

description: We study the United States Congress by constructing networks between Members of Congress based on the legislation that they cosponsor. Using the concept of modularity, we identify the community structure of Congressmen, as connected via sponsorship/cosponsorship of the same legislation, to investigate the collaborative communities of legislators in both chambers of Congress. This analysis yields an explicit and conceptually clear measure of political polarization, demonstrating a sharp increase in partisan polarization which preceded and then culminated in the 104th Congress (1995-1996), when Republicans took control of both chambers. Although polarization has since waned in the U.S. Senate, it remains at historically high levels in the House of Representatives.

description: We formulate the head-to-head matchups between Major League Baseball pitchers and batters from 1954 to 2008 as a bipartite network of mutually-antagonistic interactions. We consider both the full network and single-season networks, which exhibit interesting structural changes over time. We find interesting structure in the network and examine their sensitivity to baseball’s rule changes. We then study a biased random walk on the matchup networks as a simple and transparent way to compare the performance of players who competed under different conditions and to include information about which particular players a given player has faced. We find that a player’s position in the network does not correlate with his success in the random walker ranking but instead has a substantial effect on its sensitivity to changes in his own aggregate performance.

description: We study the social structure of Facebook “friendship” networks at one hundred American colleges and universities at a single point in time, and we examine the roles of user attributes—gender, class year, major, high school, and residence—at these institutions. We investigate the influence of common attributes at the dyad level in terms of assortativity coefficients and regression models. We then examine larger-scale groupings by detecting communities algorithmically and comparing them to network partitions based on the user characteristics. We thereby compare the relative importances of different characteristics at different institutions, finding for example that common high school is more important to the social organization of large institutions and that the importance of common major varies significantly between institutions. Our calculations illustrate how microscopic and macroscopic perspectives give complementary insights on the social organization at universities and suggest future studies to investigate such phenomena further.

Conductance fluctuations near the two-dimensional metal–insulator transition

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

description: Measurements of conductance G on short, wide, high-mobility Si-MOSFETs reveal both a two-dimensional metal-insulator transition (MIT) at moderate temperatures (1 < T < 4 K) and mesoscopic fluctuations of the conductance at low temperatures (T < 1 K). Both were studied as a function of chemical potential (carrier concentration ns) controlled by gate voltage (Vg) and magnetic field B near the MIT. Fourier analysis of the low temperature fluctuations reveals several fluctuation scales in Vg that vary non-monotonically near the MIT. At higher temperatures, G(Vg,B) is similar to large FETs and exhibits a MIT. All of the observations support the suggestion that the MIT is driven by Coulomb interactions among the carriers.

description: Pediatric hydrocephalus is a complex neurological condition associated with a pathological accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), typically within the brain ventricular system. Pediatric hydrocephalus can be primary (due to genetic abnormalities or idiopathic causes), or secondary to injuries such as hemorrhage, trauma, or infection. The current permanent treatment paradigms for pediatric hydrocephalus are exclusively surgical and include the diversion of CSF via shunt or ventriculostomy. These surgical interventions are wrought with failures, burdening both the United States healthcare system and patients with repeat neurosurgical procedures. Thus, the development of nonsurgical interventions to treat hydrocephalus represents a clinically unmet need. To study hydrocephalus, we use a genetic rat model of primary neonatal hydrocephalus, the Tmem67P394L mutant. In several proof-of-concept studies, we identify antagonism of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel and associated upstream regulatory kinase, serum-and-glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 (SGK1) as therapeutics for the treatment of hydrocephalus. Using in vitro models of the choroid plexus epithelium, the tissue which produces CSF, we show compelling proof-of-mechanism for TRPV4 antagonism and SGK1 inhibition at preventing CSF production. Therefore, the studies in this dissertation provide substantive evidence on the role of TRPV4 in the choroid plexus in health and disease.

description: Perovskites are promising next-generation absorber materials for low-cost and high-efficiency solar cells. Although perovskite cells are configured similar to the classical solar cells, their operation is unique and requires development of a new physical model for characterization, optimization of the cells, and prediction of the panel performance. In this paper, we develop such a physics-based analytical model to describe the operation of different types of perovskite solar cells, explicitly accounting non-uniform generation, carrier selective transport layers, and voltage-dependent carrier collection. The model would allow experimentalists to characterize key parameters of existing cells, understand performance bottlenecks, and predict performance of perovskite-based solar panel - the obvious next step to the evolution of perovskite solar cell technology.

description: Εισαγωγή: Η Προεμφυτευτική Γενετική Διάγνωση (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis ή PGD) είναι μια μέθοδος ελέγχου και επιλογής υγιούς εμβρύου είναι η οποία συμβαίνει κατά την τεχνητή γονιμοποίηση (In Vitro fertilization ή IVF) και πριν αυτό εμφυτευθεί στη μήτρα της υποψήφιας μητέρας. Η μέθοδος της PGD πρωτοεμφανίστηκε στα μέσα του εικοστού αιώνα, έχοντας ως σκοπό τον προσδιορισμό του φυλετικού χαρακτήρα του εμβρύου στις περιπτώσεις όπου υπήρχε συσχέτιση μεταξύ φύλου και ασθένειας. Ενδεικτικά εφαρμόζεται σε κληρονομικές ασθένειες όπως είναι η δρεπανοκυτταρική αναιμία, η μεσογειακή αναιμία, η μυϊκή δυστροφία, η κυστική ίνωση, η νόσος Huntington κ.α. Σκοπός της έρευνας: Συλλογή απόψεων σχετικά με την προεμφυτευτική γενετική διάγνωση και τα ηθικά ζητήματα που διέπουν αυτή (όπως την επιλογή εμβρύου) από φοιτητές προπτυχιακών προγραμμάτων. Υλικό - Μέθοδος: Διαμοιράστηκε ηλεκτρονικά κατάλληλα δομημένο ερωτηματολόγιο σε φοιτητές των τμημάτων Βιοϊατρικών επιστημών και Μαιευτικής του Πανεπιστημίου Δυτικής Αττικής. Συνολικά απάντησαν 245 φοιτητές σε ερωτήσεις που αφορούσαν τους ηθικούς ενδιασμούς της χρήσης της προεμφυτετικής διάγνωσης. Αποτελέσματα: Το 80% και των δύο φύλων συμφωνούν με τη χρήση της PGD όταν τη οικογένεια υπάρχει επιβεβαιωμένο σοβαρό νόσημα, το 82% και 84% των φοιτητών και των αποφοίτων ΑΕΙ διαφωνούν με τη χρήση της PGD για την επιλογή αισθητικών χαρακτηριστικών, το 50% όλων των ηλικιακών ομάδων διαφωνεί με την καταστροφή των υγιών εμβρύων που δεν εμφυτεύονται στη μητέρα. Ακόμη πάνω από το 50% των συμμετεχόντων διαφωνεί με τη αντίθεση στάση της εκκλησίας απέναντι στην PGD, ενώ το μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό αυτών συμφωνεί τόσο με την μείωση του κόστου της τεχνικής όσο και την υποχρεωτική χρήση της PGD όταν οι γονείς έχουν γονίδια επιβεβαιωμένων ασθενειών. Συμπέρασμα: Το μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό των φοιτητών θα έκανε χρήση της PGD για ιατρικούς λόγους ενώ δεν θα τη χρησιμοποιούσαν για να ικανοποιήσουν προσωπικές επιθημίες. Επίσης ήταν έντονη η διαφωνία τους τόσο με την καταστροφή υγιών εμβρύων όσο και με τη στάση της εκκλησίας απέναντι στην PGD.

description: Under the supervision of Piera Rossetto (PI of the research project Europe's InVisible Jewish Migrants, funded by the Austrian Science Fund), Verena Resch, graphic designer, transformed the original artwork Storyboard of Rachele Abravanel by Martina Melilli into a digital product. Melilli’s storyboard, realised on a physical support, with printed pictures and post-it for comments and explanations, had a limited possiblity of circulation. Resch’s challenge was to take the hand-made creation and transform it into something able to cross physical borders.The poster represents, in Rossetto's project framework, a way to engage with the digital turn in doing memory research (Garde-Hansen et al. 2009; Drozdzewski and Birdsall 2019) as well as with the exponential growth of digital projects in the context of the history of Jews from Arab and Muslim countries in contemporary times.

description: Facing a warming climate, many tropical species—including the arthropod vectors of several infectious diseases—will be displaced to higher latitudes and elevations. These shifts are frequently projected for the future, but rarely documented in the present day. Here, we use one of the most comprehensive datasets ever compiled by medical entomologists to track the observed range limits of African malaria mosquito vectors (Anopheles spp.) from 1898 to 2016. Using a simple regression approach, we estimate that these species’ ranges gained an average of 6.5 m of elevation per year, and the southern limits of their ranges moved polewards 4.7 km per year. These shifts would be consistent with the local velocity of recent climate change, and might help explain the incursion of malaria transmission into new areas over the past few decades. Confirming that climate change underlies these shifts, and applying similar methods to other disease vectors, are important directions for future research.

description: Electron localization is the tendency of an electron in a many-body system to exclude other electrons from its vicinity. Using a new natural measure of localization based on the exact manyelectron wavefunction, we find that localization can vary considerably between different ground-state systems, and can also be strongly disrupted, as a function of time, when a system is driven by an applied electric field. We use our new measure to assess the well-known electron localization function (ELF), both in its approximate single-particle form (often applied within density-functional theory) and its full many-particle form. The full ELF always gives an excellent description of localization, but the approximate ELF fails in time-dependent situations, even when the exact Kohn-Sham orbitals are employed.

Inelastic scattering rates in d-wave superconductors

description: The inelastic scattering rates of quasiparticles in a two-dimensional d-wave superconductor, which arise from interactions with either acoustic phonons or other quasiparticles, are calculated within second order perturbation theory. We discover a strong enhancement of scattering with collinear momenta, brought about by the special kinematics of the two-dimensional fermions with Dirac-like spectrum near the nodes of the d-wave order parameter. In the case of a local instantaneous interparticle potential we find that either an RPA-type resummation of the perturbation series or an inclusion of non-linear corrections to the Dirac spectrum is called for in order to obtain a finite scattering rate in the limit ω/T→0. In either way, we find drastic changes in the scattering rate, as compared to the naively expected cubic temperature dependence.

description: In this note we study the structure of Lipschitz-free Banach spaces. We show that every Lipschitz-free Banach space over an infinite metric space contains a complemented copy of $\ell_1$. This result has many consequences for the structure of Lipschitz-free Banach spaces. Moreover, we give an example of a countable compact metric space $K$ such that $F(K)$ is not isomorphic to a subspace of $L_1$ and we show that whenever $M$ is a subset of $R^n$, then $F(M)$ is weakly sequentially complete; in particular, $c_0$ does not embed into $F(M)$.
description: The only change in the latest version is the grant information of the second named author. Previous version contained a false proof of Theorem 1. This is corrected now. We have also added some remarks and changed Question 1, because we observed that the answer to the previous question is negative due to a result of P. L. Kaufmann. The paper has been accepted in Proc. Amer. Math. Soc

description: We consider the nonlinear Schroedinger equation on a compact manifold near an elliptic periodic geodesic. Using a geometric optics construction, we construct quasimodes to a nonlinear stationary problem which are highly localized near the periodic geodesic. We show the nonlinear Schroedinger evolution of such a quasimode remains localized near the geodesic, at least for short times.

description: We show that effective theories of matter that classically violate the null energy condition cannot be minimally coupled to Einstein gravity without being inconsistent with both string theory and black hole thermodynamics. We argue however that they could still be either non-minimally coupled or coupled to higher-curvature theories of gravity.

Sampling of the number density in the context of Halo Occupation Distribution models

description: Lots of resources and human efforts in Stage IV cosmological surveys (such as DESI or Euclid) are dedicated to constrain the nature of dark matter and dark energy. In particular, galaxies will be used as a biased tracers of the total matter present in the Universe.
 In this work we use Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) models to populate dark matter-only simulations with galaxies following eBOSS Emission-Line Galaxies (ELG) data. Then, we establish a connection between numerical simulations and observations of our selected dark matter biased tracers: galaxies. The HOD model makes different assumptions for the distribution of galaxies in haloes, in particular for satellite galaxies. One of these assumptions is the probability to find a given number of satellite galaxies in a halo. In general, a Poisson distribution is assumed but it has not been proven that galaxies follow this particular distribution. In this work we cover the entire possible range of variance adding the binomial distribution to our set of functions. We find that varying the variance of the PDF have a very relevant effect on galaxy clustering, and the addition of the binomial PDF allows to explore this variable in a continuous way. Furthermore, we also want to measure if the HOD inferred from data, could depend on the cosmology assumed/simulation used. For this purpose we implement our improved HOD model to populate the UNIT (1000Mpc/h side + mp) and OuterRim (3000Mpc/h side +mp) DM-only simulations with galaxies. Finally, we use eBOSS clustering data and other statistics in order to constrain the values of the parameters of our HOD models.
Hyperfine-induced spin relaxation of a diffusively moving carrier in low dimensions: implications for spin transport in organic semiconductors

description: The hyperfine coupling between the spin of a charge carrier and the nuclear spin bath is a predominant channel for the carrier spin relaxation in many organic semiconductors. We theoretically investigate the hyperfine-induced spin relaxation of a carrier performing a random walk on a d-dimensional regular lattice, in a transport regime typical for organic semiconductors. We show that in d=1 and d=2 the time dependence of the space-integrated spin polarization, P(t), is dominated by a superexponential decay, crossing over to a stretched exponential tail at long times. The faster decay is attributed to multiple self-intersections (returns) of the random walk trajectories, which occur more often in lower dimensions. We also show, analytically and numerically, that the returns lead to sensitivity of P(t) to external electric and magnetic fields, and this sensitivity strongly depends on dimensionality of the system (d=1 vs. d=3). Furthermore, we investigate in detail the coordinate dependence of the time-integrated spin polarization, $σ(r)$, which can be probed in the spin transport experiments with spin-polarized electrodes. We demonstrate that, while $σ(r)$ is essentially exponential, the effect of multiple self-intersections can be identified in transport measurements from the strong dependence of the spin decay length on the external magnetic and electric fields.

description: This research study explores the role of visual identity with narrative methodology and visitor engagement in the exhibition design process. Literature suggests that the visitor experience in art exhibitions are still relatively passive; their interactions are limited to catalogs and wall texts, which offer few opportunities for personal input. Furthermore, art is especially difficult for visitors to interpret and engage in. This study is an attempt to address this gap by using experiential visual identity system in museum exhibitions and by introducing embodied physical cues as a way to engage visitors with art. The primary purpose behind this research is to identify issues involved in the relationship between exhibitions and audiences. The study suggests narrative methodology as a critical component in the exhibition-making process and how it helps visual identity facilitate an exhibition by evoking visitor participation. Two case studies worked at New Media Gallery grounds its findings by using narrative methodology with visual identity. The main goal of this study is to develop interactive exhibition graphics as a means to embody the thematics and mood of an exhibition as a way to engage an audience offering them a more holistic experience.

description: We study the spectral stability properties of periodic traveling waves in the sine-Gordon equation, including waves of both subluminal and superluminal propagation velocities as well as waves of both librational and rotational types. We prove that only subluminal rotational waves are spectrally stable and establish exponential instability in the other three cases. Our proof corrects a frequently cited one given by Scott [Sco69b].

SYSTEMATIC IMPLICATIONS OF MICRO- AND MACROMORPHOLOGY IN BERBERIS SENSU LATO (BERBERIDACEAE)

description: This study examines systematically important morphology within Berberis L. (Berberidaceae), including the segregate genera Alloberberis C.C. Yu & K.F. Chung, Mahonia Nutt., and Moranothamnus C.C. Yu & K.F. Chung. Generic taxonomy of Berberis sensu lato has been contentious, though both a broadly circumscribed Berberis and the recently circumscribed segregate genera have been recovered as monophyletic. While the diagnosis of taxa and clades within Berberis s.l. has been drawn using discrete morphological characters, these characters are often poorly defined or only described in detail for a small and phylogenetically biased sample of species. Here, we attempt to critically define important morphological characters and their variation across the entirety of the genus.Examination of leaflet surfaces using scanning electron microscopy found significant variation in both epidermal outgrowths and epicuticular waxes, which have both previously been characterized as invariant when present. Abaxial papillae in most of Berberis sensu stricto formed a pavement of irregular shapes. Round and tall papillae were mostly restricted to the clade of Mahonia referred to as the “Occidentales” but were also found in the anomalous species B. hypokerina Airy Shaw (Berberis s.s.) and the monotypic Moranothamnus. Abaxial papillae of Alloberberis formed a complex pavement of ±round outgrowths. Epicuticular wax crystals mostly conformed to previously reported tubules, but we also report granules, platelets, crusts, and large curled structures. Adaxial platelets interspersed within a tubule layer were found in all samples of the Paniculatae clade.
description: Based on examination of herbarium specimens and living individuals, we define five models of modular aerial shoot system arrangement built from four differentiated shoot types (dolichoblasts, cataphyllous brachyblasts, foliaceous brachyblasts, and inflorescence shoots), in contrast to a “monomorphic” vs. “dimorphic” dichotomy previously employed. A multiple correspondence analysis of 14 morphological characters (10 independent of shoot model) indicates that our models are slightly better at explaining overall morphological diversity than existing segregate genera. Ancestral character state reconstructions using a published phylogeny were largely inconclusive for nodes connecting segregate genera, as well as for interior nodes of Mahonia with respect to suppression of axillary buds of the dolichoblast.
Differentiability and Poincaré-type inequalities in metric measure spaces

description: We demonstrate the necessity of a Poincaré type inequality for those metric measure spaces that satisfy Cheeger's generalization of Rademacher's theorem for all Lipschitz functions taking values in a Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym property. This is done by showing the existence of a rich structure of curve fragments that connect near by points, similar in nature to Semmes's pencil of curves for the standard Poincaré inequality. Using techniques similar to Cheeger-Kleiner, we show that our conditions are also sufficient. We also develop another characterization of "RNP Lipschitz differentiability spaces" by connecting points by curves that form a rich structure of partial derivatives that were first discussed in work by the first author.
