title: Understanding Security Threats of Emerging Computing Architectures and Mitigating Performance Bottlenecks of On-Chip Interconnects in Manycore NTC System
Creators: name: Rajamanikkam, Chidhambaranathan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2019

description: Emerging computing architectures such as, neuromorphic computing and third party intellectual property (3PIP) cores, have attracted significant attention in the recent past. Neuromorphic Computing introduces an unorthodox non-von neumann architecture that mimics the abstract behavior of neuron activity of the human brain. They can execute more complex applications, such as image processing, object recognition, more efficiently in terms of performance and energy than the traditional microprocessors. However, focus on the hardware security aspects of the neuromorphic computing at its nascent stage. 3PIP core, on the other hand, have covertly inserted malicious functional behavior that can inflict range of harms at the system/application levels. This dissertation examines the impact of various threat models that emerges from neuromorphic architectures and 3PIP cores.
Near-Threshold Computing (NTC) serves as an energy-efficient paradigm by aggressively operating all computing resources with a supply voltage closer to its threshold voltage at the cost of performance. Therefore, STC system is scaled to many-core NTC system to reclaim the lost performance. However, the interconnect performance in many-core NTC system pose significant bottleneck that hinders the performance of many-core NTC system. This dissertation analyzes the interconnect performance, and further, propose a novel technique to boost the interconnect performance of many-core NTC system.

description: We present RAISE-LPBF, a large dataset on the effect of laser power and laser dot speed in powder bed fusion (LPBF) of 316L stainless steel bulk material, monitored by on-axis 20k FPS video. Both process parameters are independently sampled for each scan line from a continuous distribution, so interactions of different parameter choices can be investigated. The data can be used to derive statistical properties of LPBF, as well as to build anomaly detectors. We provide example source code for loading the data, baseline machine learning models and results, and a public benchmark to evaluate predictive models.

description: This is the first volume of a new series of Old French and Provençal texts of earîier date than 1500, with the general title Les Classiques français du moyen âge. The series is under the direction of M. Mario Roques, Directeur adjoint à l'École pratique des Hautes Études. The announcement signed by him and setting forth the plan of the series contemplates the publication of all the really important works (thé word "classiques"is to be taken in a wide sensé), without full vocabularies or commentaries: "il existe aujourd'hui assez de recueils philologiques, d'ouvrages généraux, d'etudes particulières, de dictionnaires, auxquels il est légitime d'envoyer; mais il serait indispensable que ces textes fussent édités avec assez de rigueur et munis d'indications historiques et critiques suffisantes pour que le travail scientifique y trouvât immédiatement une base certaine; il faudrait encore que ces éditions fussent d'un prix modique...enfin que la publication fût assez rapide pour fournir au bout de peu d'années une véritable bibliothèque riche et variée." This is a most interesting and attractive plan, and we may all hope that it will be carried out with the success it well deserves.
MECCANISMI PATOGENETICI NELLA EMICRANIA EMIPLEGICA FAMILIARE E SPORADICA:DESCRIZIONE DI TRE NUOVE MUTAZIONI DEL GENE ATP1A2

description: Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a rare, autosomal-dominant, form of migraine with aura. Sporadic hemiplegic migraine (SHM) is a heterogeneous disorder, where some patients may have a pathophysiology identical to FHM, with a mutation in one of the FHM genes (CACNA1A, ATP1A2, SCN1A), but others, possibly the majority, may have a different pathophysiologic background. In our study we have described 24 patients (13 FHM and 11 SHM) and their genetic screenings, positive for mutations only in 3 cases, 2 of them in apparently sporadic cases. All the mutations, 2 missense and 1 nonsense, are in ATP1A2 gene. Our results confirm a more frequent involvement of the ATP1A2 gene in the sporadic cases and, in our opinion, an identical pathogenesis of the Familial and the Sporadic forms. Moreover, the absence of mutations in the HM genes in the other 12 familial cases is probably the result of the involvement of many other genes and it underlines the crucial role of a biobank like this one.

title: Phosphorus Rate Effects With and Without AVAIL® on Dryland Winter Wheat in an Eroded Calcareous Soil
Creators: name: Hodges, Ryan C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2019

description: Soluble phosphorus fertilizer is bound in the soil rapidly after application in soils high in calcium. A fertilizer additive known as AVAIL® (J.R. Simplot Company) is purported to keep applied phosphorus fertilizer more available to plants by binding to soil minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, thereby reducing phosphorus binding. This could prove useful due to the attraction of AVAIL® with cations such as Ca2+, but is fairly unstudied for dryland wheat production on alkaline, calcium-rich soils. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of low-rate fertilizer treatments with AVAIL® on dryland small grain yield on calcium-rich, eroded hillslopes in a fallow-wheat crop rotation. Two experiments were conducted to determine treatment effects on yield and grain quality for (1) above-ground dispersed (broadcast) application of monoammonium phosphate (MAP; 52% P2O5 content) fertilizer in the spring (2017), and (2) fall application of MAP incorporated with the seed (banded) at planting (2018). Fertilizer treatments were the recommended rate (60 lbs/ac) or one-half the recommended rate (30 lbs/ac) for dryland small grain, with or without AVAIL® (four treatments), replicated four times in a strip-block design for the 2017 experiment and replicated 3 times in a randomized complete block design for the 2018 experiment. Experimental blocks were assigned to hillslope erosional severity groups. The erosional severity groups were v designated (non-eroded, slightly eroded, highly eroded, and depositional slope segments). Hillslope segmentation allowed for correlations between calcium carbonate, organic matter, and yield levels across treatments. Results from the broadcast study indicate that there was no yield advantage of any treatment at any level of erosional severity, saving a grower $20.30/acre by applying 30 lbs/acre of MAP. However, 30 lbs/acre of MAP with AVAIL® showed similar yield to 60 lbs/acre of MAP without AVAIL®, potentially saving a grower $6.42/acre over standard growing practices. The incorporated study also indicated that there was no reliable yield advantage of any fertilizer treatment at any level of erosional severity, saving a grower $15.37/acre by applying 30 lbs/acre of MAP. Neither treatment with AVAIL had greater yield or profit than those without AVAIL. Profit for the 60 lbs/acre of MAP treatment narrowly outperformed 30 lbs/acre of MAP by $1.73/acre, indicating that growers may be able to reduce phosphorus use under dryland growing conditions with optimal fertilizer placement.
The stability of strong waves and its implications for pulsar wind shocks

description: Strong waves can mediate a shock transition between a pulsar wind and its surroundings, playing the role of an extended precursor, in which the energy is effectively transferred from fields to non-thermal particles. The damping of such precursors results in an essentially unmagnetized shock near the equator. In this context, we discuss the stability of strong waves and its implications for the properties of shocks. Those with stable precursors can exist in the winds of most of isolated pulsars, but the precursors may be unstable if the external pressure in the nebula is high, as in Vela-like pulsars. Pulsar wind shocks in eccentric binary systems, such as B1259-63, can acquire precursors only at certain orbital phases, and this process should be accompanied by enhanced synchro-Compton and inverse Compton emission from the precursor. The same scenario may be at work in the binary HESS J0632+057.

description: The collection of Miracles of the Virgin here edited for the first i time is contained in a manuscript (MSS. B. 14) belonging to the President White Library of Cornell University. Yhe volume is a small quarto (size of leaf cm. 10.2 X 13.7; of text cm. 13.2 X 10) of 184 folios, vellum, written in two columns (except f. 96, written in one), and contains works in various hands and of different dates, from the late thirteenth and the fourteenth centuries. Our collection, of the late thirteenth century, written in two columns of twenty-five lines, occupies fols. 104-110.

The contents of the whole manuscript is as follows: (l) Meditationes piissimae beati Bernardi de cognitione humanae conditionis, incomplete, lacking chaps. XIV-XV, cf. Mabillon's ed. of St. Bernarrd's Opera, Paris, 1690, Vol. II, coll. 319-335, f. 1; (2) A mystical treatise, the beginning of which is missing, a leaf of the quire being lost, f. 16; (3) Vitas Patrum, f. 33vo; (4) The present article, f. 104; (5) Sermons, f. i2ovo; (6) Moral reflections, f. I40vo; (7) Two chapters of Gregory's Dialogues, Bk. IV, 37, 38, f. i4ivo; Treatise on canonical law, f. 143; (9) Theological treatise, f. 168; (10) Letter of Presbyter John to the Emperor Manuel, fols. 17IVO - 172VO. Articles (1)-(5) appear to be in the same hand and of the thirteenth century. The remaining articles are in different hands of the fourteenth century. I have written out the abbreviations, punctuated, and corrected a few evident slips of the scribe's pen. I have left the text as it is in the manuscript, with the usual mediaeval orthography (e for ae, etc), and I have not attempted to correct the scribe's construction.

title: Optimal Foraging and Population Dynamics: An Archaeological Investigation at the Birch Creek Rockshelters, Idaho
Creators: name: Yeates, Samuel H. M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2019

description: This thesis aims to integrate the study of population change with the expectations of foraging models, and to test whether expectations resulting from integrating these two bodies of theory have greater predictive power than foraging models alone. To compare these models, I monitored prey age, butchery practice, and prey desirability in five prehistoric occupations of the Birch Creek rockshelters of Idaho. I modeled hunting pressure with a human population density estimate based on radiocarbon dates from Idaho archaeological sites, and modeled prey abundance with a model of historic effective moisture. Both models predicted younger prey, lower average prey desirability, and more intensive extraction of nutrients from prey when human hunting pressure is high and when prey are scarce. However, unlike the prey model, the Forager-resource Population Ecology (FPE) model predicts that similarly desirable prey with different reproductive rates should show different degrees of resilience to hunting pressure. Contrary to FPE model predictions, statistical analyses of the Birch Creek faunal materials did not indicate that human hunting pressure disproportionately stressed populations of slowly reproducing prey compared to quicker-reproducing prey. While the faunal specimens from Birch Creek provided a limited and flawed dataset, my results did not support the use of the FPE model.

description: We present the parallel particle-in-cell (PIC) code Apar-T and, more importantly, address the fundamental question of the relations between the PIC model, the Vlasov-Maxwell theory, and real plasmas. First, we present four validation tests: spectra from simulations of thermal plasmas, linear growth rates of the relativistic tearing instability and of the filamentation instability, and non-linear filamentation merging phase. For the filamentation instability we show that the effective growth rates measured on the total energy can differ by more than 50% from the linear cold predictions and from the fastest modes of the simulation. Second, we detail a new method for initial loading of Maxwell-Jüttner particle distributions with relativistic bulk velocity and relativistic temperature, and explain why the traditional method with individual particle boosting fails. Third, we scrutinize the question of what description of physical plasmas is obtained by PIC models. These models rely on two building blocks: coarse-graining, i.e., grouping of the order of p~10^10 real particles into a single computer superparticle, and field storage on a grid with its subsequent finite superparticle size. We introduce the notion of coarse-graining dependent quantities, i.e., quantities depending on p. They derive from the PIC plasma parameter Lambda^{PIC}, which we show to scale as 1/p. We explore two implications. One is that PIC collision- and fluctuation-induced thermalization times are expected to scale with the number of superparticles per grid cell, and thus to be a factor p~10^10 smaller than in real plasmas. The other is that the level of electric field fluctuations scales as 1/Lambda^{PIC} ~ p. We provide a corresponding exact expression. Fourth, we compare the Vlasov-Maxwell theory, which describes a phase-space fluid with infinite Lambda, to the PIC model and its relatively small Lambda.

description: New approach to computing the amplitudes of multi-particle processes in renormalizable quantum field theories is presented. Its major feature is a separation of the renormalization from the computation. Within the suggested approach new computational rules are formulated. According to the new rules, the amplitudes under computation are expressed as a sum of effective Feynman amplitudes whose vertexes are the complete amplitudes of the processes involving not more than four particles, and the lines are the complete two-point functions. The new rules include prescriptions for computing the combinatorial factors by each amplitude. It is demonstrated that due to these prescriptions the combinatorial factors by the amplitudes that are divergent in the ultraviolet in four space-time dimensions vanish. Because of this, the computations within the new approach do not involve the ultraviolet renormalization. It is observed that the combinatorics of the new rules determines the dimension of the space-time.

description: We present an accurate analysis of the H2 absorption lines from the zabs ~ 2.4018 damped Lyα system towards HE 0027-1836 observed with the Very Large Telescope Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (VLT/UVES) as a part of the European Southern Observatory Large Programme "The UVES large programme for testing fundamental physics" to constrain the variation of proton-to-electron mass ratio, μ = mp/me. We perform cross-correlation analysis between 19 individual exposures taken over three years and the combined spectrum to check the wavelength calibration stability. We notice the presence of a possible wavelength dependent velocity drift especially in the data taken in 2012. We use available asteroids spectra taken with UVES close to our observations to confirm and quantify this effect. We consider single and two component Voigt profiles to model the observed H2 absorption profiles. We use both linear regression analysis and Voigt profile fitting where Δμ/μ is explicitly considered as an additional fitting parameter. The two component model is marginally favored by the statistical indicators and we get Δμ/μ = (-2.5 +/- 8.1(stat) +/- 6.2(sys)) ppm. When we apply the correction to the wavelength dependent velocity drift we find Δμ/μ = (-7.6 +/- 8.1(stat) +/- 6.3(sys)) ppm. It will be important to check the extent to which the velocity drift we notice in this study is present in UVES data used for previous Δμ/μ measurements.

description: The famous "three beasts”–lonza, leone, pupa–which Dante mentions in the first canto of the Inferno have already caused so much discussion, mostly profitless, that one may well hesitate before adding to the bibliography of the subject–unless, indeed, one is able to bring forward some really new material. In particular, the identity and the symbolism of the lonza have challenged ingenuity. As usual, the older commentators are in substantial agreement; the word lonza was evidently no stumbling-block to them symbols respectively of lust, pride and avarice.
Enhancing Composition Window of Bicontinuous Structures by Designed Polydispersity Distribution of ABA Triblock Copolymers

description: The phase behavior of polydisperse ABA triblock copolymers is studied using dissipative particle dynamics simulations, focusing on the emergence and property of bicontinuous structures. Bicontinuous structures are characterized by two separate, intermeshed nanoscopic domains extending throughout the material. The connectivity of polymeric bicontinuous structures makes them highly desirable for many applications. For conventional monodisperse diblock and triblock copolymers, regular bicontinuous structures (i.e., gyroid and Fddd) can be formed over a narrow composition window of ~3%. We demonstrate that the composition window for the formation of bicontinuous structures can be regulated by designed polydispersity distributions of ABA triblock copolymers. In particular, introducing polydispersity in both A and B blocks can lead to a significant enhancement of the composition window of bicontinuous structures with both continuous A and B domains. The mechanism of the bicontinuous structure enhancement is elucidated from the distribution of the long and short blocks. Furthermore, it is shown that the polymeric bicontinuous structures from polydisperse ABA triblock copolymers possess good continuity throughout the sample, making them ideal candidates for advanced applications.

description: Science instruction has focused on teaching students scientific content knowledge and problem-solving skills. However, even the best content instruction does not guarantee improved learning, as students’ motivation ultimately determines whether or not they will take advantage of the content. The goal of our instruction is to address the “leaky STEM pipeline” problem and retain more students in STEM fields. We designed a struggle-oriented instruction that tells stories about how even the greatest scientists struggled and failed prior to their discoveries. We describe how we have gone about designing this instruction to increase students’ motivation and better prepare them to interact and engage with content knowledge. We first discuss why we took this struggle-oriented approach to instruction by delineating the limitations of content-focused science instruction, especially from a motivational standpoint. Second, we detail how we designed and implemented this instruction in schools, outlining the factors that influenced our decisions under specific situational constraints. Finally, we discuss implications for future designers interested in utilizing this approach to instruction.

title: Narrative Identities of Early-Return Missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
Creators: name: Ferrell, Jillian
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2019

description: Leaving home to become a missionary is important for many young adults in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (CJC). Some missionaries return home from their missions before their anticipated return date and struggle to make sense of who they are while facing judgment from members within the church communities and families. Little is known about the experience of identity development for early return missionaries (ERMs). There have not been many chances for ERMs to share what it means to them to have come home early from their mission. This study investigated the process of how ERMs make sense of who they are after returning home early from their mission.
One goal of this study was to find a broad and unifying understanding of how ERMs make sense of who they are given their experiences from their own perspectives while also honoring unique experiences. The second goal was to learn of specific ways to help ERMs feel satisfied and connected to who they are after their ERM experience. Two interviews were completed with each of six ERM participants. Transcripts from interviews were analyzed for common themes across participants and unique experiences. Each participant’s story was rewritten in order of what happened before, during, and after their mission, careful to include the most important parts of their stories. Then stories were analyzed for growth-promoting endings and negative endings based on the participants’ descriptions. Stories with good endings indicated more contentment with the ways they saw themselves. From the interviews, specific actions and helps were identified to help ERMs find happy endings to the stories they tell themselves about who they are after having returned from their mission early. The findings were compared and discussed in light of existing research. Lastly, the trustworthiness of the conclusions and ideas for future research questions were considered.
The Suffixes -aster, -ignus, etc., in Nouns of Relationship

description: In an article on the Interchange of suffixes -aster, -ignus and -icus (Mod. Lang. Notes, 1909, 241-3), Mr. S. G. Patterson sustains that, in words of step-relationship, in addition to the endings -aster and -ignus (of Lat. privignus), the termination -icus (of Lat. vitricus) survives, not only in Sard. bidrigu, etc. and Rum. vitrigu, etc., but also in O. Fr. serorge, etc. (Godefroy) and in Neapol. matreye and patreye. After considering the diffusion of -aster and -ignus, the author summarizes: “Enough examples have been given to show the constant interchange of -ignus and -aster in these words of quasi-kinship… in several dialects the same stem is found compounded indifferently with either suffix (cf. Venet.)." He doubtless means rather alternation than interchange; for no real interchange is demonstrated: the diffusion of Ven. pareastro is not precisely the same as that of paregno; Boerio limits the first to Chioggia.

description: We employ recently published measurements of the velocity dispersions in the newly discovered dwarf satellite galaxies of Andromeda to test our previously published predictions of this quantity. The data are in good agreement with our specific predictions for each dwarf made a priori with MOND, with reasonable stellar mass-to-light ratios, and no dark matter, while Newtonian dynamics point to quite large mass discrepancies in these systems. MOND distinguishes between regimes where the internal field of the dwarf, or the external field of the host, dominates. The data appear to recognize this distinction, which is a unique feature of MOND not explicable in LCDM.

description: Two-dimensional van der Waals semiconductors are promising for future nanoelectronics. However, integrating high-k gate dielectrics for device applications is challenging as the inert van der Waals material surfaces hinder uniform dielectric growth. Here, we report a liquid metal oxide-assisted approach to integrate ultrathin, high-k HfO2 dielectric on 2D semiconductors with atomically smooth interfaces. Using this approach, we fabricated 2D WS2 top-gated transistors with subthreshold swings down to 74.5 mV/dec, gate leakage current density below 10-6 A/cm2, and negligible hysteresis. We further demonstrate a one-step van der Waals integration of contacts and dielectrics on graphene. This can offer a scalable approach toward integrating entire prefabricated device stack arrays with 2D materials. Our work provides a scalable solution to address the crucial dielectric engineering challenge for 2D semiconductors, paving the way for high-performance 2D electronics.

description: Very early into the life of cinema in India it became apparent that this new phenomenon would generate talk. In its affective manifestations, cinema was able to circulate more freely and widely than the physical film object. Fan magazines and tabloids were regularly swamped by letters demanding biographical information about stars. The studios that were associated with these glamorous names became sites of intense speculation and wonder. The film studio was exciting both as an emblem of technological modernity and as a thrilling heterosocial work space. This combined excitement can be glimpsed in a description of the new Ranjit Studio: “Ah, the new studio—the new Ranjit studio! It is big and beautiful with such perfect acoustics that even if the director tried a tete-a-tete in whispers with the heroine it would all come out on the sound track as distinct as the song of a lark.” (Judas, 1938, p. 14).

In this article I cast a critical look at the figure of the female film professional, approaching her as a manifestation of, and model for, the urban public woman in 1930s and 1940s Bombay. I will look at the film studio as a space that mythologized some women, sidelined others and made all women socially suspect. The Bombay film studio is rarely studied as a site of work. I suggest that it is precisely as a site of work that the studio impacted modern imaginings of the city and the urban self. These urban enclaves with their impressive buildings, their dedicated workforce, and their promise of erotic sociality, represented an alternative possibility for the working self. They were quite unlike the mills in Tardeo or the office buildings in Fort and swiftly became a locus of much speculative desire. I approach the film studio through the idea of scandal, a constructive mode for approaching hidden histories of women and their work (Image 1).

description: We derive a local Gaussian upper bound for the $f$-heat kernel on complete smooth metric measure space $(M,g,e^{-f}dv)$ with nonnegative Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature, which generalizes the classic Li-Yau estimate. As applications, we obtain a sharp $L_f^1$-Liouville theorem for $f$-subharmonic functions and an $L_f^1$-uniqueness property for nonnegative solutions of the $f$-heat equation, assuming $f$ is of at most quadratic growth. In particular, any $L_f^1$-integrable $f$-subharmonic function on gradient shrinking or steady Ricci solitons must be constant. We also provide explicit $f$-heat kernel for Gaussian solitons.

Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Games Coverage and its Network of Ambivalences

description: It's as tough a time as ever for game critics, who seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place—an industry that acts as gatekeepers to most of the information they cover and an increasingly combative readership. Because of these tensions, an exploratory study was conducted first of the emergence of game criticism and the historical role of critics in creating the conception of gamer identity and, second, the effect of that identity on critics’ self-perception of their profession. We find that throughout the late 1980s and the end of the 20th century the game press was complicit in reinforcing the notion of the hardcore, primarily male “gamer,” while at the same time wrestling with their role as mediators between the industry and audience to which they were beholden. Through a subsequent study of articles and public meta-criticism by prominent figures in the field, we describe a network of ambivalences over the basic elements of their practice—particularly style, content, and format—as well as what motivates their daily work. In order to cope with these ambivalences, game critics, in recommending changes to their craft, rely not on the occupational ideology—or a common set of shared professional values—but instead their personal background and ancillary careers. Finally, after reviewing this network of ambivalences and its effect on games writing, we suggest critics make efforts toward establishing a common critical authority for their field, particularly as their occupation enters the mainstream.
