description: In the framework of schemes with mixing of four massive neutrinos, which can accommodate the atmospheric, solar and LSND ranges of Delta m^2, we show that, in the whole region of Delta m^2_{LSND} allowed by LSND, the Super-Kamiokande up-down asymmetry excludes all mass spectra with a group of three close neutrino masses separated from the fourth mass by the LSND gap of order 1 eV. Only two schemes with mass spectra in which two pairs of close masses are separated by the LSND gap can describe the Super-Kamiokande up-down asymmetry and all other existing neutrino oscillation data.

description: [Context]Advancement in technologies, popularity of small-batch manufacturing and the recent trend of investing in hardware startups are among the factors leading to the rise of hardware startups nowadays. It is essential for hardware startups to be not only agile to develop their business but also efficient to develop the right products. [Objective] We investigate how hardware startups achieve agility when developing their products in early stages. [Methods] A qualitative research is conducted with data from 20 hardware startups. [Result] Preliminary results show that agile development is known to hardware entrepreneurs, however it is adopted limitedly. We also found tactics in four domains (1) strategy, (2) personnel, (3) artifact and (4) resource that enable hardware startups agile in their early stage business and product development. [Conclusions] Agile methodologies should be adopted with the consideration of specific features of hardware development, such as up-front design and vendor dependencies.

description: In conclusion, though the area is understudied as of yet, there seems to be a clear-cut role for mental health professionals in maintaining the health of peacekeepers worldwide. There also seems to have been an unfortunate lag in military understanding or willingness to address these needs. In 2009 alone, the U.S. has already seen two incidents—one at a CSC in Baghdad and one at Fort Hood, Texas—in which combat stress or the threat of deployment seem to have taken a violent turn toward fratricide. This horrific trend can only be expected to continue if drastic measures are not taken to revitalize current programs and increase timely implementation of new programs.

This model is obtained from a two-cutoff lattice formulation of a 2D U(1) chiral gauge theory, in the limit of zero gauge coupling. The massless fermion spectrum found deep in the vortex phase is undoubled and chiral.

description: We study the harvesting of entanglement and mutual information by Unruh-DeWitt particle detectors from thermal and squeezed coherent field states. We prove (for arbitrary spatial dimensions, switching profiles and detector smearings) that while the entanglement harvesting ability of detectors decreases monotonically with the field temperature $T$, harvested mutual information grows linearly with $T$. We also show that entanglement harvesting from a general squeezed coherent state is independent of the coherent amplitude, but depends strongly on the squeezing amplitude. Moreover, we find that highly squeezed states i) allow for detectors to harvest much more entanglement than from the vacuum, and ii) ensure that the entanglement harvested does not decay with their spatial separation. Finally we analyze the spatial inhomogeneity of squeezed states and its influence on harvesting, and investigate how much entanglement one can actually extract from squeezed states when the squeezing is bandlimited.

title: The Influence of Neuroscience Instruction on Coach Self-Efficacy and Self-Reported Coaching Behaviors
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of neuroscience instruction on coach self-efficacy and self-reported coaching behaviors within the coaching dyad. This study used a qualitative research design employing in-depth, one-on-one interviews with life coaches. Purposeful, criterion sampling was used to select seven coaches who were certified by the International Coach Federation (ICF) and were graduates of a neuroscience-related educational program. Data concerning their experiences with neuroscience and coaching was collected using semi-structured interviews with primary open-ended interview questions and secondary prompts. Data saturation was determined when no new data emerged, no new themes were developed, and no new coding occurred. Data analysis disclosed seven distinct themes that contributed to the development of a theoretical model that represented the influence neuroscience instruction had on study participants. This model illustrates the professional and personal benefits that participants accrued through their neuroscience instruction, which included improved coach self-efficacy, as well as the use of neuroscience information within the coaching dyad throughout the four clusters of ICF core coaching competencies: setting the foundation, co-creating the relationship, communicating effectively, and facilitating learning and results.
Quantum Circulant Preconditioner for Linear System of Equations

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We consider the quantum linear solver for $Ax=b$ with the circulant preconditioner $C$. The main technique is the singular value estimation (SVE) introduced in [I. Kerenidis and A. Prakash, Quantum recommendation system, in ITCS 2017]. However, some modifications of SVE should be made to solve the preconditioned linear system $C^{-1} Ax = C^{-1} b$. Moreover, different from the preconditioned linear system considered in [B. D. Clader, B. C. Jacobs, C. R. Sprouse, Preconditioned quantum linear system algorithm, Phys. Rev. Lett., 2013], the circulant preconditioner is easy to construct and can be directly applied to general dense non-Hermitian cases. The time complexity depends on the condition numbers of $C$ and $C^{-1} A$, as well as the Frobenius norm $\|A\|_F$.
Extracting $γ$ from $B_{s(d)}\to J/ψK_S$ and $B_{d(s)}\to D^{+}_{d(s)} D^{-}_{d(s)}$

description: A completely general parametrization of the time-dependent decay rates of the modes $B_s\to J/ψK_S$ and $B_d\to J/ψK_S$ is given, which are related to each other through the $U$-spin flavour symmetry of strong interactions. Owing to the interference of current--current and penguin processes, the $B_s\to J/ψK_S$ observables probe the angle $γ$ of the unitarity triangle. Using the $U$-spin symmetry, the overall normalization of the $B_s\to J/ψK_S$ rate can be fixed with the help of the CP-averaged $B_d\to J/ψK_{\rm S}$ rate, providing a new strategy to determine $γ$. This extraction of $γ$ is not affected by any final-state-interaction effects, and its theoretical accuracy is only limited by $U$-spin-breaking corrections. As a by-product, this strategy allows us to take into account also the penguin effects in the determination of $β$ from $B_d\to J/ψK_S$, which are presumably very small, and to predict the direct CP asymmetry arising in this mode. An analogous strategy is provided by the time-dependent $B_d\to D^+ D^-$ rate, if its overall normalization is fixed through the CP-averaged $B_s\to D^+_s D^-_s$ rate.

The correlation dimensions of the spectral measure $\widetilde{D}_{2}$ and of the fractal eigenstate $D_{2}$ are calculated and shown to be related by $D_{2}=2\widetilde{D}_{2}$. The exponent $η=0.35\pm 0.05$ describing the energy correlations of the critical eigenstates is found to satisfy the relation $η=2-D_{2}$.

description: This study aimed to systematically revise the available evidence on the effects of physical exercise training programmes on people with hypothyroidism. Comparative studies were searched in six electronic databases until April 2023. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database and the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies were used to determine the methodological quality of the randomized controlled trials and comparative studies respectively. A total of 10 studies were found showing a low to moderate methodological quality. Most of them were performed in women with subclinical hypothyroidism. Exercise seemed to be safe, with aerobic and resistance training leading to improvements in outcomes related to physical and mental health. The performed meta-analysis with data from 120 participants indicated that exercise showed a non-significant trend towards reducing thyroid-stimulating hormone levels (Hedges’g −0.96; 95% CI −2.71; 0.79, p = 0.160; I2 = 92%). When the analysis was performed by comparing the experimental, and control groups with data from 180 participants the results remained non-significant (SMD −1.09; CI 95% −2.88; 0.70, p = 0.23; I2 = 95%). Similar findings were obtained when pooling data for FT3 and FT4 levels. Exercise does not have a significant impact on thyroid function, although its practice can lead to secondary outcomes related to physical and mental health.

description: A Monte Carlo generator has been constructed to simulate the reaction e^+e^- \to γ+ 4 π, where the photon is assumed to be observed in the detector. Only initial state radiation is considered. Additional collinear photon radiation has been incorporated with the technique of structure functions. Predictions are presented for cms energies of 1GeV, 3GeV and 10GeV, corresponding to the energies of DAPHNE, BEBC and of B-meson factories. The event rates are sufficiently high to allow for a precise measurement of R(Q^2) in the region of Q between approximately 1GeV and 2.5GeV. For the construction of the program we employ isospin relations between the amplitudes governing tau decays into four pions and electron positron annihilation into four pions. Estimates of the kinematic breaking of these isospin relations as a consequence of the π^- -- π^0 mass difference are given.

description: An imbalance of metals in the brain have shown to influence Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) neuropathology and behavioral deficits both in mice and humans. Previous studies have shown that excess zinc supplementation exacerbates AD neuropathology and behavioral deficits. One reason for this could be that an excess of zinc may lead to a copper deficiency which results in neurological and behavioral problems. This study investigated the neuropathological effect of zinc+copper supplementation on a dual transgenic (hAPP/htau) mouse model of AD. Wildtype and dual transgenic mice were given regular lixit, zinc, and zinc+copper water. The relative density of AD related proteins in the brain were semi-quantified via western blotting. Amyloid and tau accumulation per brain region was assessed through histological analyses. The results of this study showed that wildtype mice showed higher levels of free zinc in the brain than the dual transgenic mice. A significant amount of this free zinc was found in hippocampal regions. Dual transgenic mice on zinc+copper water showed significantly fewer amyloid plaques and significantly more tau tangles than dual transgenic mice on regular lixit and zinc water in specific brain regions. A significantly greater number of plaques and tangles were seen in cortical regions compared to hippocampal regions. This suggests that zinc+copper supplementation may ameliorate amyloid pathology but exacerbate tau pathology in AD mice and that zinc may bind to misfolded AD proteins resulting in less free zinc.
New Strategies to Extract $β$ and $γ$ from $B_d\to π^+ π^-$ and $B_s\to K^+ K^-$

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The decays $B_d\to π^+ π^-$ and $B_s\to K^+ K^-$ are related to each other by interchanging all down and strange quarks, i.e. through the $U$-spin flavour symmetry of strong interactions. A completely general parametrization of the CP-violating observables of these modes is presented within the framework of the Standard Model, allowing the determination of the angles $β$ and $γ$ of the unitarity triangle. This strategy is affected neither by penguin contributions nor by any final-state-interaction effects, and its theoretical accuracy is only limited by $U$-spin-breaking corrections. If the $B^0_d - \bar{B^0_d}$ mixing phase $2β$ is determined separately, for example with the help of $B_d\to J/ψK_S$, $γ$ can be extracted with a reduced $U$-spin flavour symmetry input. A variant of this strategy to determine $γ$, which uses $B_d\toπ^\mp K^\pm$ instead of $B_s\to K^+ K^-$ and relies -- in addition to the SU(3) flavour symmetry -- on a certain dynamical assumption, is also briefly discussed.

description: The Cassini Mission has greatly improved our understanding of the dynamics and chemical processes occurring in Titan's atmosphere. It has also provided us with more insight into the formation of the aerosols in the upper atmospheric layers. However, the chemical composition and mechanisms leading to their formation were out of reach for the instruments onboard Cassini. In this context, it is deemed necessary to apply and exploit laboratory simulations to better understand the chemical reactivity occurring in the gas phase of Titan-like conditions. In the present work, we report gas phase results obtained from a plasma discharge simulating the chemical processes in Titan's ionosphere. We use the PAMPRE cold dusty plasma experiment with an N2-CH4 gaseous mixture under controlled pressure and gas influx. An internal cryogenic trap has been developed to accumulate the gas products during their production and facilitate their detection. The cryogenic trap condenses the gas-phase precursors while they are forming, so that aerosols are no longer observed during the 2h plasma discharge. We focus mainly on neutral products NH3, HCN, C2H2 and C2H4. The latter are identified and quantified by in situ mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. We present here results from this experiment with mixing ratios of 90-10% and 99-1% N2-CH4, covering the range of methane concentrations encountered in Titan's ionosphere. We also detect in situ heavy molecules (C7). In particular, we show the role of ethylene and other volatiles as key solid-phase precursors.

Year: 2020

description: The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a tropical phenomenon that influences high-impact events such as hurricane activity and Asian monsoons on intraseasonal (2-8 week) time scales. However, the essential dynamical mechanisms responsible for the MJO are highly debated. Specifically, the role of the ocean on the MJO is unclear. Ocean dynamics has a small impact on atmospheric intraseasonal variability. Therefore, to gain insight into MJO-ocean interactions, we conduct climate model experiments where the ocean is replaced by a motionless slab whose thickness, called the mixed-layer-depth (MLD), varies in space but not in time. This slab-model configuration allows the atmosphere and ocean to communicate through surface fluxes of heat and moisture while suppressing interactive ocean currents. Consistent with previous studies, the MJO is nearly indistinguishable between the fully-coupled and slab-models. However, drastic changes in the MLD and ocean heat convergence over the Indian Ocean had no discernible impact on MJO propagation, predictability, or variability. This suggests that atmosphere-ocean coupling may not be critical to the MJO over the Indian Ocean.

description: Plasma concentrations of glucagon, GLP-1 and GIP are reported in numerous clinical trials as outcome measures but preanalytical guidelines are lacking. We addressed the impact of commonly used blood containers in metabolic research on measurements of glucagon, GLP-1 and GIP in humans. Seventeen overweight individuals were subjected to an overnight fast followed by an intravenous infusion of amino acids to stimulate hormonal secretion. Blood was sampled into five containers: EDTA-coated tubes supplemented with DMSO (control), a neprilysin inhibitor, aprotinin (a kallikrein inhibitor) or a DPP-4 inhibitor, and P800 tubes. Plasma was kept on ice before and after centrifugation and stored at −80 Celsius until batch analysis using validated sandwich ELISAs or radioimmunoassays (RIA). Measures of fasting plasma glucagon did not depend on sampling containers, whether measured by ELISA or RIA. Amino acid-induced hyperglucagonemia was numerically higher when blood was collected into P800 tubes or tubes with aprotinin. The use of p800 tubes resulted in higher concentrations of GLP-1 by RIA compared to control tubes but not for measurements with sandwich ELISA. Plasma concentrations of GIP measured by ELISA were higher in control tubes and negatively affected by P800 and the addition of aprotinin. The choice of blood containers impacts on measurements of plasma concentrations of glucagon, GLP-1 and GIP, and based on this study, we recommend using EDTA-coated tubes without protease inhibitors or P800 tubes for measurements of glucagon, GLP-1 and GIP in clinical trials.

description: We consider the simplest and most economic version among the proposed non-minimal supersymmetric models, in which the $μ$-parameter is promoted to a singlet superfield, whose all self-couplings are absent from the renormalizable superpotential. Such a particularly simple form of the renormalizable superpotential may be enforced by discrete $R$-symmetries which are extended to the gravity-induced non-renormalizable operators as well. We show explicitly that within the supergravity-mediated supersymmetry-breaking scenario, the potentially dangerous divergent tadpoles associated with the presence of the gauge singlet first appear at loop levels higher than 5 and therefore do not destabilize the gauge hierarchy. The model provides a natural explanation for the origin of the $μ$-term, without suffering from the visible axion or the cosmological domain-wall problem. Focusing on the Higgs sector of this minimal non-minimal supersymmetric standard model, we calculate its effective Higgs potential by integrating out the dominant quantum effects due to stop squarks. We then discuss the phenomenological implications of the Higgs scalars predicted by the theory for the present and future high-energy colliders. In particular, we find that our new minimal non-minimal supersymmetric model can naturally accommodate a relatively light charged Higgs boson, with a mass close to the present experimental lower bound.

description: The random sequential adsorption (RSA) model is a classical model in Statistical Physics for adsorption on two-dimensional surfaces. Objects are deposited sequentially at random and adsorb irreversibly on the landing site, provided that they do not overlap any previously adsorbed object. The kinetics of adsorption ceases when no more objects can be adsorbed (jamming state). Here, we investigate the role of post-relaxation on the jamming state and percolation properties of RSA of dimers on a two-dimensional lattice. We consider that, if the deposited dimer partially overlaps with a previously adsorbed one, a sequence of dimer displacements may occur to accommodate the new dimer. The introduction of this simple relaxation dynamics leads to a more dense jamming state than the one obtained with RSA without relaxation. We also consider the anisotropic case, where one dimer orientation is favored over the other, finding a non-monotonic dependence of the jamming coverage on the strength of anisotropy. We find that the density of adsorbed dimers at which percolation occurs is reduced with relaxation, but the value depends on the strength of anisotropy.

description: Immersive computing (IC) technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality are gaining tremendous popularity. In this poster, we present CoIC, a Cooperative framework for mobile Immersive Computing. The design of CoIC is based on a key insight that IC tasks among different applications or users might be similar or redundant. CoIC enhances the performance of mobile IC applications by caching and sharing computation-intensive IC results on the edge. Our preliminary evaluation results on an AR application show that CoIC can reduce the recognition and rendering latency by up to 52.28% and 75.86% respectively on current mobile devices.

description: In the past few years, the fast-developing Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) and their broad applications have served as the primary driving horsepower for a new technology wave.However, they are still very computationally intensive for resource-constrained mobile systems. Therefore, a lot of research works were proposed to compress and accelerate DNNs for efficient computation on mobile devices. My research topics during Ph.D. study are mainly focused on building efficient deep learning systems in mobile computing by considering three specific challenges: system deployment, application scenario, and large-scale collaboration. First, from the perspective of single system deployment, in order to adapt DNNs to various hardware constraints on mobile devices, I propose DiReCtX - a dynamic resource-aware DNN model reconfiguration framework. DiReCtX is based on a set of accurate DNN profiling models for different resource consumption and inference accuracy estimation. With manageable consumption/accuracy trade-offs, DiReCtX can reconfigure a DNN model to meet distinct resource constraint types and levels with expected inference performance maintained. Second, from the perspective of the application scenario, I find the input information in most mobile computing scenarios has many redundancies (sparsity patterns) and they are non-structural and randomly located on feature maps with non-identical shapes. Therefore, I develop a novel sparsity computing scheme called FalCon, which can well adapt to the practical sparsity patterns while still maintaining efficient computing. Additionally, a decomposed convolution computing optimization paradigm is proposed to convert the sparsity to practical acceleration. At last, from the perspective of large-scale collaboration, I propose \textit{Helios} --- a heterogeneity-aware FL framework to tackle the straggler issue in the scenario of multi-device collaborative learning. Helios identifies an individual device's heterogeneous training capability and calculates the expected neural network model training volumes on stragglers. For straggling devices, a ``soft-training'' method is proposed to dynamically compress the original identical training model into the expected volume through a rotating neuron training approach. With extensive algorithm analysis and optimization schemes, the stragglers can be accelerated while retaining the convergence for local training as well as federated collaboration. I hope the realization of the projects in this dissertation could contribute to the current research area about efficient deep learning system and motivate more studies on model optimization, collaboration system design, and even compiler-level renovation.

Anomalous preferences of cultured macrophages for hydrophobic and roughened substrata

description: Peritoneal macrophages were plated out on a series of artificial haptotactic substrata consisting of grid patterns of vacuum-evaporated palladium metal alternating with hydrophobic untreated polystyrene and with hydrophilic sulphonated polystyrene. By their active locomotion the macrophages accumulated preferentially onto the less hydrophilic of either pair of these alternative substrata. This order of substratum preference is precisely the opposite to that shown by fibroblastic cells. Macrophages were also found to accumulate preferentially onto roughened culture surfaces as opposed to smooth ones, which is again opposite to the behaviour of fibroblasts. These opposite substratum preferences shown by macrophages may reflect physical as well as functional differences in their surfaces, and could serve as assay criteria for macrophages and cell types putatively equivalent to macrophages.

description: A recent calculation of the multi-Higgs boson production in scalar theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking has demonstrated the fast growth of the cross section with the Higgs multiplicity at sufficiently large energies, called "Higgsplosion". It was argued that "Higgsplosion" solves the Higgs hierarchy and fine-tuning problems. In our paper we argue that: a) the formula for "Higgsplosion" has a limited applicability and inconsistent with unitarity of the Standard Model; b) that the contribution from "Higgsplosion" to the imaginary part of the Higgs boson propagator cannot be re-summed in order to furnish a solution of the Higgs hierarchy and fine-tuning problems.

description: Sum rules for the nonperturbative piece of correlators (specifically, the vector current correlator) are discussed. The sum rule subtracting the perturbative part is of the superconvergent type. Thus it is dominated by the bound states and low energy production cross section. It leads to a determination of the gluon condensate of $ = 0.048 \pm 0.039 GeV^4$

description: This study seeks to explore the relation of parasocial relationships and new media, such as YouTube and Twitch. To this end, this study has conducted interviews with media personae who garner millions of views per a video on these platforms. The perspective of the media personae is rarely taken into account by scholars such as Rebecca B. Rubin and, despite attention paid to the study of networked communication, new media itself has not been studied in relation to parasocial relationships. Understanding how new technology platforms and media influence and interact with our society socially is important for determining uses of these platforms and exploring how they mold our society. Through interviews with media personae and a comprehensive analysis of literature on parasocial relationships, this study finds that, because of the interactive nature of new media platforms, parasocial relationships are more likely to develop as a part of a content creator’s growth. The growth of parasocial relationships because of the interactive nature of new media platforms can be shown via the use of uncertainty reduction theory and parasocial relationship theory as applied to the interviews conducted.

We are concerned with the genus of surfaces appearing on boundaries (i.e., sections) of a 3D DT manifold with $S^{3}$ topology. Evidence of a scaling behavior of the genus distributions of boundary surfaces has been found.

Retrieval method for the bianisotropic polarizability tensor of Willis acoustic scatterers

description: Acoustic materials displaying coupling between pressure and momentum are known as Willis materials. The simplest Willis materials are comprised of sub-wavelength scatterers that couple monopoles to dipoles and {\it vice versa}, with the interaction defined by a polarizability tensor. We propose a method for retrieving the polarizability tensor for sub-wavelength Willis acoustic scatterers using a finite set of scattering amplitudes. We relate the polarizability tensor to standard T-matrix and S-matrix scattering formalisms. This leads to an explicit method for retrieving the components of the polarizability tensor in terms of a small set of scattered pressure data in the near- or far-field. Numerical examples demonstrate the retrieval method for one and two dimensional configurations.
