description: Numerous variants of SARS-CoV-2 with increased transmissibility have emerged over the course of the pandemic. Potential explanations for the increased transmissibility of these variants include increased shedding from infected individuals, increased environmental stability, and/or a lower infectious dose. Upon exhalation of a respiratory particle into the environment, water present in the particle is rapidly lost through evaporation, resulting in a decrease in particle size. The aim of the present study was to compare the losses of infectivity of different isolates of SARS-CoV-2 during the rapid evaporation of aerosol particles that occurs immediately post-generation to assess if there are differences suggestive of increased survival, and ultimately greater transmissibility, for more recent variants. Losses of infectivity of several isolates of SARS-CoV-2 suspended in viral culture media was assessed following aerosolization and evaporation in a flowing chamber. The results demonstrate that losses of infectivity measured post-evaporation were similar for three different isolates of SARS-CoV-2, including isolates from the more recent Delta and Omicron lineages. The average loss in infectivity across all three isolates was 61 ± 15% (-0.46 ± 0.17 log10 TCID50/L-air) at a relative humidity <30%. These results, together with those from several previous studies, suggest that it is unlikely that an increase in environmental stability contributes to the observed increases in transmissibility observed with more recent variants of SARS-CoV-2.

description: Introduction: Personal Learning Plans (PLPs) provide residents opportunities for self-regulated learning. We explored residents’ and academic advisors’ (AAs) experiences with PLPs to identify barriers and facilitators to their use in a competency-based internal medicine (IM) residency program. Methods: Using mixed methods we examined PLPs from three IM cohorts (2017-2019). We evaluated goals set in the PLPs using Lockspeiser’s scoring rubric and alignment with feedback. We conducted semi-structured interviews with residents and AAs to explore their experiences of PLPs. Quantitative data were analyzed within and across training cohorts using descriptive and variance component modeling techniques. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Results: Fifty PLPs containing 214 goals were independently scored by two IM medical educators. Completion rate was 47.6%, 73.9%, 95.8% for 2017, 2018 and 2019 cohorts respectively. 47% of goals aligned with faculty feedback. Scores for goals were moderate and varied within resident: goal specificity (x̄ =1.56, range:0-3; ICC =0.46), learning plan quality (x̄ =1.80, range:0-3; ICC =0.53), and the outcome identified (x̄ =1.56, range:0-3; ICC =0.39). Most interviewees thought PLPs developed residents’ self-reflection skills and promoted the use of feedback to identify goals. Barriers included challenges with self-reflection, inexperience with goal setting, challenges with online platforms, limited time, and unclear expectations. Facilitators included a supportive learning environment, coaching by AAs, protected time, and high-quality feedback. Conclusions: This study provides insights into facilitators to effective implementation of PLPs in residency: on-going resident and AA training sessions, coaching residents on writing learning goals and self-reflection, clear expectations and providing dedicated time.

description: Recently, Jack polynomials have been proposed as natural generalizations of Z_k Read-Rezayi states describing non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall systems. These polynomials are conjectured to be related to correlation functions of a class of W-conformal field theories based on the Lie algebra A_{k-1}. These theories can be considered as non-unitary solutions of a more general series of CFTs with Z_k symmetry, the parafermionic theories. Starting from the observation that some parafermionic theories admit unitary solutions as well, we show, by computing the corresponding correlation functions, that these theories provide trial wavefunctions which satisfy the same clustering properties as the non-unitary ones. We show explicitly that, although the wavefunctions constructed by unitary CFTs cannot be expressed as a single Jack polynomial, they still show a fine structure where the mathematical properties of the Jack polynomials play a major role.

description: A critical and extensive comparison was made between differential mobility analysis (DMA) measurements of the mean diameter of monodisperse gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), based on step-voltage mode and the more commonly used scan-voltage mode (commercially known as scanning mobility particle sizer, SMPS). Under specific conditions including a long scan time, the difference between mean diameters measured by the two modes of operation was less than the expanded combined uncertainty (95% confidence interval) for the step-voltage mode. In addition, a comparison was made between two different calibration methods for DMA: the use of a certified nanoparticle size standard (artifact) versus a direct measurement of the sheath flow rate. Important variables and limitations for accurate measurements by the scan-voltage method were identified and evaluated. The mean size shifts to smaller electrical mobility diameters as the scan time is reduced and the scan mode is unable to measure sufficient points across the peak of very narrow size distributions, leading to systematic errors. The use of a calibration particle corrects for the flow and DMA column geometric effects and was found to minimize the effect of a reduced scan time. A methodology is presented for the use of these AuNPs and other monodisperse calibration particles for accurately calibrating SMPS instruments for the measurement of the electrical mobility diameter distribution.

description: This work begins by applying peridynamics and phase-field modeling to predict 1-d interface motion with inertia in an elastic solid with a non-monotone stress-strain response. In classical nonlinear elasticity, it is known that subsonic interfaces require a kinetic law, in addition to momentum balance, to obtain unique solutions; in contrast, for supersonic interfaces, momentum balance alone is sufficient to provide unique solutions. This work finds that peridynamics agrees with this classical result, in that different choices of regularization parameters provide different kinetics for subsonic motion but the same kinetics for supersonic motion. In contrast, conventional phase-field models coupled to elastodynamics are unable to model, even qualitatively, the supersonic motion of interfaces. This work identifies the shortcomings in the physics of standard phase-field models to be: (1) the absence of higher-order stress to balance unphysical stress singularities, and (2) the ability of the model to access unphysical regions of the energy landscape. Based on these observations, this work proposes an augmented phase-field model to introduce the missing physics. The augmented model adds: (1) a viscous stress to the momentum balance, in addition to the dissipative phase-field evolution, to regularize singularities; and (2) an augmented driving force that models the physical mechanism that keeps the system out of unphysical regions of the energy landscape. When coupled to elastodynamics, the augmented model correctly describes both subsonic and supersonic interface motion. The augmented model has essentially the same computational expense as conventional phase-field models and requires only minor modifications of numerical methods, and is therefore proposed as a replacement to the conventional phase-field models.

Determinants and Consequences of Human Capital Investments by Traditionally Disadvantaged Cohorts

description: In my dissertation work, I study the human capital investments of disadvantaged cohorts. In the first chapter, I study the short-term impacts on educational attainment of a large-scale school-expansion program in rural Punjab, Pakistan. Using administrative data on historical school construction that started in the 1960s, I exploit variation across birth cohorts and regions in the timing of school construction to build on a Difference-in-Differences approach that allows for staggered school construction in this context. I find that an additional girls’ school per 1000 children at the district level led to a 4-5 percentage point (20-25%) higher likelihood of girls completing primary education and increased their years of education by around 0.5 years. I do not find any statistically significant impact of the boys' school construction on their education. In the second chapter, I study the long-term and intergenerational effects of expanding educational opportunities through the large scale school construction program. Whereas I find evidence of intergenerational impacts on educational attainment of children of mothers that are more exposed to the school construction program, I do not find corresponding improvements in the female labor market or marriage market outcomes as a result of increased educational attainment. These findings contribute to a growing literature that finds that females in developing countries continue to face barriers in terms of later life outcomes despite improvements to their educational attainment. In the third chapter, I analyze the impact of the labor demand shocks induced by the Great Recession on the human capital investments of young Hispanics, a disadvantaged sub-group in the United States on the basis of their education. I use a Bartik approach where I construct labor demand shocks separately by racial group and ethnicity at the metropolitan area level to analyze their impact on schooling decisions of young cohorts. I find that the higher responsiveness of young Hispanics, even conditional on the differential size of the shock experienced by Hispanics relative to other groups, can explain more than half of the observed convergence in High School dropout rates and college attendance rates between Hispanics and other groups following the Great Recession. My results highlight the impact shocks to opportunity cost can have on the schooling decisions of a historically disadvantaged group.

description: Measurements of small-scale turbulent fluctuations in the solar wind find a non-zero right-handed magnetic helicity. This has been interpreted as evidence for ion cyclotron damping. However, theoretical and empirical evidence suggests that the majority of the energy in solar wind turbulence resides in low frequency anisotropic kinetic Alfven wave fluctuations that are not subject to ion cyclotron damping. We demonstrate that a dissipation range comprised of kinetic Alfven waves also produces a net right-handed fluctuating magnetic helicity signature consistent with observations. Thus, the observed magnetic helicity signature does not necessarily imply that ion cyclotron damping is energetically important in the solar wind.

description: Event analysis in untrimmed videos has attracted increasing attention due to the application of cutting-edge techniques such as CNN. As a well studied property for CNN-based models, the receptive field is a measurement for measuring the spatial range covered by a single feature response, which is crucial in improving the image categorization accuracy. In video domain, video event semantics are actually described by complex interaction among different concepts, while their behaviors vary drastically from one video to another, leading to the difficulty in concept-based analytics for accurate event categorization. To model the concept behavior, we study temporal concept receptive field of concept-based event representation, which encodes the temporal occurrence pattern of different mid-level concepts. Accordingly, we introduce temporal dynamic convolution (TDC) to give stronger flexibility to concept-based event analytics. TDC can adjust the temporal concept receptive field size dynamically according to different inputs. Notably, a set of coefficients are learned to fuse the results of multiple convolutions with different kernel widths that provide various temporal concept receptive field sizes. Different coefficients can generate appropriate and accurate temporal concept receptive field size according to input videos and highlight crucial concepts. Based on TDC, we propose the temporal dynamic concept modeling network (TDCMN) to learn an accurate and complete concept representation for efficient untrimmed video analysis. Experiment results on FCVID and ActivityNet show that TDCMN demonstrates adaptive event recognition ability conditioned on different inputs, and improve the event recognition performance of Concept-based methods by a large margin.

description: This article introduces REAS (Rutgers Electrostatic Active Sampler), a new active bioaerosol sampler using permanently polarized ferroelectric film (e.g., PVDF) to capture charge-carrying bioaerosol particles. While REAS operates on an electrostatic collection principle, due to its unique materials and design, it does not require external power to charge incoming particles or to create an electrostatic collection field. The sampler consists of a polarized film wound in a spiral configuration with oppositely polarized film sides positioned 2.25 mm apart. The film and its holder are inserted into a 3D-printed housing cylinder to connect to a pump. The device has an open channel design, creating virtually no pressure drop, which allows for longer sampling times on the same battery charge compared to filter samplers. When REAS was tested in different field environments, the physical collection efficiency ranged from 19 ± 2% in a laboratory environment at 1 L/min to 41 ± 0.1% in residence at 0.1 L/min. When REAS was used to capture culturable bacteria and fungi over a 24-hr period, the concentrations determined by REAS were not different from those determined by an Institute of Medicine sampler (IOM, SKC, Inc.). The concentrations determined by both samplers were lower than those measured by a SAS Super 180 Sampler (SAS, Bioscience International), except for outdoor fungi. However, the SAS was used as a grab sampler to avoid overloading or desiccating the plates, while both REAS and IOM continuously sampled for 24 hrs. Further studies will explore improvements to the REAS sample elution protocols.

description: The nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum fields is an initial-value problem, which can be described by Kadanoff-Baym equations. Typically, and in particular when numerical solutions are demanded, these Kadanoff-Baym equations are restricted to Gaussian initial states. However, physical initial states are non-Gaussian correlated initial states. In particular, renormalizability requires the initial state to feature n-point correlations that asymptotically agree with the vacuum correlations at short distances. In order to identify physical nonequilibrium initial states, it is therefore a precondition to describe the vacuum correlations of the interacting theory within the nonequilibrium framework. In this paper, Kadanoff-Baym equations for non-Gaussian correlated initial states describing vacuum and thermal equilibrium are derived from the 2PI effective action. A diagrammatic method for the explicit construction of vacuum and thermal initial correlations from the 2PI effective action is provided. We present numerical solutions of Kadanoff-Baym equations for a real scalar Phi^4 quantum field theory which take the thermal initial 4-point correlation as the leading non-Gaussian correction into account. We find that this minimal non-Gaussian initial condition yields an approximation to the complete equilibrium initial state that is quantitatively and qualitatively significantly improved as compared to Gaussian initial states.

description: Keypoints matching is a pivotal component for many image-relevant applications such as image stitching, visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and so on. Both handcrafted-based and recently emerged deep learning-based keypoints matching methods merely rely on keypoints and local features, while losing sight of other available sensors such as inertial measurement unit (IMU) in the above applications. In this paper, we demonstrate that the motion estimation from IMU integration can be used to exploit the spatial distribution prior of keypoints between images. To this end, a probabilistic perspective of attention formulation is proposed to integrate the spatial distribution prior into the attentional graph neural network naturally. With the assistance of spatial distribution prior, the effort of the network for modeling the hidden features can be reduced. Furthermore, we present a projection loss for the proposed keypoints matching network, which gives a smooth edge between matching and un-matching keypoints. Image matching experiments on visual SLAM datasets indicate the effectiveness and efficiency of the presented method.

description: Translocation through a nanopore is a new experimental technique to probe physical properties of biomolecules. A bulk of theoretical and computational work exists on the dependence of the time to translocate a single unstructured molecule on the length of the molecule. Here, we study the same problem but for RNA molecules for which the breaking of the secondary structure is the main barrier for translocation. To this end, we calculate the mean translocation time of single-stranded RNA through a nanopore of zero thickness and at zero voltage for many randomly chosen RNA sequences. We find the translocation time to depend on the length of the RNA molecule with a power law. The exponent changes as a function of temperature and exceeds the naively expected exponent of two for purely diffusive transport at all temperatures. We interpret the power law scaling in terms of diffusion in a one-dimensional energy landscape with a logarithmic barrier.

Influence of Negative Urgency on Trauma and Alcohol Cue Reactivity in Trauma-Exposed College Students

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a disorder that develops in some individuals who have experienced or witnessed a dangerous, scary, or shocking event, or as a consequence of exposure to traumatic events, frequently co-occur with alcohol use disorder (AUD). PTSD-AUD etiology is important to study in college students due to emerging adulthood being a sensitive period for the onset of these problems. Negative urgency, a facet of impulsivity, may be a common liability underlying PTSD symptom and the use of alcohol to manage negative affect among trauma exposed individuals. The purpose of this dissertation was to examine negative urgency in relation to (a) self-reported measures of coping motives and other indices of risky drinking during college and (b) laboratory assessment of conditioned craving response to negative emotion. It was hypothesized that individuals high in negative urgency are more likely to consume alcohol in response to negative affect, compared to those low in negative urgency. Participants were college students (ages 18-25) who completed diagnostic interviews and self-report measures of trauma and alcohol use. Results indicated greater negative urgency was significantly associated with self-reported craving, negative alcohol-related consequences and greater coping motives for alcohol, but not with past 30-day binge frequency or alcohol consumption. Negative urgency did not moderate the association between PTSD symptoms and any alcohol variables. There was no significant interaction between negative urgency and narrative cue on self-reported craving. The interaction between negative urgency and beverage cue on self-reported craving also was not statistically significant. Results suggest negative urgency may be a strong mechanism involved in alcohol use disorder and PTSD symptoms among trauma exposed college students.

description: The paper reports a technique of evaluation of Feynman diagrams in the mixed coordinate-momentum representation. The technique is employed for a recalculation of the two-loop self-energy correction for the ground state of hydrogen-like ions with the nuclear charge numbers Z=10-30. The numerical accuracy is considerably improved as compared to the previous calculations. The higher-order (in Zα) remainder function is inferred from the numerical results and extrapolated towards Z=0 and 1. The extrapolated value for hydrogen is consistent (but still not in perfect agreement) with the analytical result obtained within the perturbative approach.

description: Interfacial superconductivity has manifested itself in various types of heterostructures: band insulator-band insulator, band insulator-Mott insulator, and Mott insulator-metal. We report the observation of high-temperature superconductivity (HTS) in a complementary and long expected type of heterostructures, which consists of two Mott insulators, La2CuO4 (LCO) and PrBa2Cu3O7 (PBCO). By carefully controlling oxidization condition and selectively doping CuO2 planes with Fe atoms, which suppress superconductivity, we found that the superconductivity arises at the LCO side and is confined within no more than two unit cells (about 2.6 nm) near the interface. A phenomenon of overcome the Fe barrier will show up if excess oxygen is present during growth. Some possible mechanisms for the interfacial HTS have been discussed, and we attribute it to the redistribution of oxygen.

description: Numerical tools are widely used to assess Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) behaviour during postulated Severe Accidents (SA). However, uncertainties are intrinsically associated to their predictions. Even though, mathematical tools for quantification of code uncertainties have been under development for many years, Uncertainty Quantifications (UQ) with Best Estimate system codes have not been systematically used in SA analyses. MUSA has an “innovative research agenda” to move beyond the state-of-the-art regarding the predictive capability of SA analysis codes by combining them with the best available UQ tools. By doing so, not only the prediction of timing for the failure of safety barriers and of the radiological Source Term (ST) will be possible, but also the quantification of the uncertainty bands of selected analysis results, considering any relevant source of uncertainty, will be provided

description: A critical and extensive comparison was made between differential mobility analysis (DMA) measurements of the mean diameter of monodisperse gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), based on step-voltage mode and the more commonly used scan-voltage mode (commercially known as scanning mobility particle sizer, SMPS). Under specific conditions including a long scan time, the difference between mean diameters measured by the two modes of operation was less than the expanded combined uncertainty (95% confidence interval) for the step-voltage mode. Additionally, a comparison was made between two different calibration methods for DMA: the use of a certified nanoparticle size standard (artifact) versus a direct measurement of the sheath flow rate. Important variables and limitations for accurate measurements by the scan-voltage method were identified and evaluated. The mean size shifts to smaller electrical mobility diameters as the scan time is reduced and the scan mode is unable to measure sufficient points across the peak of very narrow size distributions, leading to systematic errors. The use of a calibration particle corrects for the flow and DMA column geometric effects, and was found to minimize the effect of a reduced scan time. A methodology is presented for the use of these AuNPs and other monodisperse calibration particles for accurately calibrating SMPS instruments for the measurement of the electrical mobility diameter distribution.

description: On the main sequence, low-mass and solar-like stars are observed to spin-down over time, and magnetized stellar winds are thought to be predominantly responsible for this significant angular momentum loss. Previous studies have demonstrated that the wind torque can be predicted via formulations dependent on stellar properties, such as magnetic field strength and geometry, stellar radius and mass, wind mass-loss rate, and stellar rotation rate. Although these stars are observed to experience surface differential rotation, torque formulations so far have assumed solid-body rotation. Surface differential rotation is expected to affect the rotation of the wind and thus the angular momentum loss. To investigate how differential rotation affects the torque, we use the PLUTO code to perform 2.5D magnetohydrodynamic, axisymmetric simulations of stellar winds, using a colatitude-dependent surface differential rotation profile that is solar-like (i.e., rotation is slower at the poles than the equator). We demonstrate that the torque is determined by the average rotation rate in the wind, so that the net torque is less than that predicted by assuming solid-body rotation at the equatorial rate. The magnitude of the effect is essentially proportional to the magnitude of the surface differential rotation, for example, resulting in a torque for the Sun that is $\sim 20 \%$ smaller than predicted by the solid-body assumption. We derive and fit a semi-analytic formulation that predicts the torque as a function of the equatorial spin rate, magnitude of differential rotation, and wind magnetization (depending on the dipolar magnetic field strength and mass-loss rate, combined).

subject: Construction engineering

description: The research in this thesis focuses on developing an alert system to detect damage or impact on bridge. It employs Raspberry Pi and accelerometers for real-time health monitoring. The methodology includes bridge model creation, testing under no damage, impact, and structural damage conditions, and data processing for vibration frequency analysis. The aim is to differentiate between normal bridge conditions, collisions, and structural damages, providing timely notifications for necessary investigations or repairs. The study addresses the challenges in bridge safety and aims to improve maintenance efficiency and reliability.
Non thermal emission from clusters of galaxies: the importance of a joint LOFAR/Simbol-X view

description: Deep radio observations of galaxy clusters have revealed the existence of diffuse radio sources ("halos" and "relics") related to the presence of relativistic electrons and weak magnetic fields in the intracluster volume. I will outline our current knowledge about the presence and properties of this non-thermal cluster component. Despite the recent progress made in observational and theoretical studies of the non-thermal emission in galaxy clusters, a number of open questions about its origin and its effects on the thermo-dynamical evolution of galaxy clusters need to be answered. I will show the importance of combining galaxy cluster observations by new-generation instruments such as LOFAR and Simbol-X. A deeper knowledge of the non-thermal cluster component, together with statistical studies of radio halos and relics, will allow to test the current cluster formation scenario and to better constrain the physics of large scale structure evolution.

Optimization and heuristics : a comparative simulation study of management of a biological resource
Creators: name: Matsumura, Ella Mae
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Two approaches to the formulation of resource management policy sere considered, .The first was to construct a formal mathematical decision-making model of the system and to obtain optimal decisions analytically. The second was to use heuristics. The western tent caterpillar population system was chosen as the resource system on which to compare the approaches. various policies were tested on a computer simulation model of the system. It was found that a combination of the two approaches linear programming and heuristics) led to satisfactory harvesting policies. The results indicate that ignoring the basic biological attributes of the resource could lead to mismanagement, and possibly even destruction of the population.

description: We use extensive DMRG calculations to show that a classification of SU(n) spin chains with regard to the existence of spinon confinement and hence a Haldane gap obtained previously for valence bond solid models applies to SU(n) Heisenberg chains as well. In particular, we observe spinon confinement due to a next-nearest neighbor interaction in the SU(4) representation 10 spin chain.

title: Exhuming Mary Lincoln: found poetry in biographical fiction
Creators: name: Chappell, T.L
Publisher: name: Bath Spa University
Year: 2023

description: This study investigates the integration of found poetry with prose to create a hybrid work of biographical fiction. More specifically this investigation explores the ways in which found poetry based on historical documents might significantly inform narrative and structure. The novel, Widow Lincoln, serves as the field of practice for this examination and forms the basis of the contextualizing thesis, outlined as follows: Chapter One introduces the research, acquaints the reader with the subgenres of found poetry and biographical fiction (biofiction), reviews relevant literature in the field, and briefly introduces methodology. Chapter Two provides definitions of key terms and takes a look at general reservations surrounding the two genres, while in Chapter Three the integration of found poetry is examined through the lens of two unique but complementary works of biofiction. Chapter Four investigates the development of a selection of found poems within Widow Lincoln and briefly explores their influence on the layout and structure of the novel. Finally, this study suggests two new contributions to knowledge in the field of creative writing: 1. the categorization of a subgenre within found poetry identified here as exhumed poetry to denote poems drawn specifically from the historical record, and 2. a new approach to biofiction which integrates found poetry as part of a sustained narrative. This investigation suggests a method for incorporating found poetry based on historical documents, including the personal correspondence of historical figures, into a work of biofiction as a means of promoting a more intimate engagement between the writer and the subject, the subject and the story, and ultimately between the story and the reader.
title: Medical concerns & military thinking : how medical considerations influenced military planning and combat action in the British, French, and German armies during the First World War

description: Medical Concerns & Military Thinking investigates in how far and in which ways medical considerations influenced operational planning and combat action in the First World War. The study focuses on the Western Front and centres on the three main forces that were active on this theatre: the British Army, the French Armée de terre, and the German Heer. The dissertation follows on a two-step process. First, it investigates whether medical features did have an influence on decision making processes of combatant officers. It then inquires in how far battlefield reality allowed for these decisions to be implemented. The study shows that combatant officers did consider medical factors in several aspects of their work. In order to reduce wastage, officers had to take medical aspects of the war seriously; Otherwise, they risked that their formations might become inoperable due to high casualty rates. Medical factors were, however, not always compatible with military considerations. In such cases, officers had to weigh medical and military factors in order to decide which considerations should be given precedence in a specific situation. The study shows that defensive and offensive aspects were sometimes compromised in an effort to reduce wastage in the long run. The dissertation follows a chronological structure and lays special emphasis on the year 1916 and the Battles of Verdun and the Somme. While the dissertation embodies a wide range of primary sources, it is primarily based on operation plans, battle reports, and meeting minutes of the three Armies that are currently held at The National Archives, London (GBR), the Service Historique de la Défense, Paris (FRA), and the Bundesarchiv—Abteilung Militärarchiv, Freiburg im Breisgau (GER).
