Black athletes

description: My thesis is attempting to answer one main question, “do Black college football athletes view the National Football League as a way to achieve upward mobility?” Throughout the history of sports “rags to riches” has been a glorified narrative. Often the media highlights young Black athletes from lower socio-economic statuses whose dreams of playing in the NFL has come true. In college the athlete excelled on the field, became a draft pick, and is viewed as a success story. The professional athlete is then showcased on ESPN’s “30 for 30” in a multi-million dollar home celebrating the “rags to riches” myth. In order to answer the central question, it is important to understand the history of Black athletes in sports. Today it is hard to imagine a time when Blacks were not allowed to play on college or professional football teams. Black men have struggled to be acknowledged for their gifts on and off the field. Black athletes finally have the opportunity to thrive on large platforms and it is important to celebrate the African American success. However, overtime sports have seemingly captivated the African American community. Sports have become the golden ticket or the pathway to success for some young Black athletes. Sports are viewed as an opportunity to achieve success and an alternative avenue to provide for their family. This dream is fueling the idea behind my thesis.

description: Let (M,ω,Φ) be a Hamiltonian T-space and let H be a closed Lie subtorus of T. Under some technical hypotheses on the moment map Φ, we prove that there is no additive torsion in the integral full orbifold K-theory of the orbifold symplectic quotient [M//H]. Our main technical tool is an extension to the case of moment map level sets the well-known result that components of the moment map of a Hamiltonian T-space M are Morse-Bott functions on M. As first applications, we conclude that a large class of symplectic toric orbifolds, as well as certain S^1-quotients of GKM spaces, have integral full orbifold K-theory that is free of additive torsion. Finally, we introduce the notion of semilocally Delzant which allows us to formulate sufficient conditions under which the hypotheses of the main theorem hold. We illustrate our results using low-rank coadjoint orbits of type A and B.
description: 17 pages, 5 figures. In this final version, technical hypothesis added to the main theorem. This hypothesis is satisfied in all relevant examples. In previous versions, we falsely asserted that Bruhat cells provide equivariant Darboux charts near a fixed point. We have replaced this assertion with a correct one; the relevant examples are updated. This is a post-publication correction

description: Our ease of sharing and receiving personal and private information through technology has enabled an environment where individuals and organizations capable of articulating that data have the advantage in advancing technological progress. With the threat of increasingly invasive ways of capturing data and growing unease in organizations’ abilities to protect personal information, many countries like France seek to improve public policy and regulation for digital environments, adding provisions to the already comprehensive General Data Protection Regulation from the European Union. The United States does not have a federal policy on data regulation, which has led to numerous difficulties and penalties for American companies operating in the European Union. This thesis aims to understand the different cultural tendencies and attitudes exhibited by French and American citizens that could help explain reasons for the state of cyber policy in both nations. Utilizing the Mendez, 2017 ARC System, this thesis will analyze personal interviews conducted with both French and American technologists as well as polls, panels, and academic journals that frame the current and past behaviors of French and American societies.

description: The electron spin resonance absorption spectrum of Eu^{2+} ions serves as a probe of the normal and superconducting state in Eu_{0.5}K_{0.5}Fe_2As_2. The spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T_1^{\rm ESR} obtained from the ESR linewidth exhibits a Korringa-like linear increase with temperature above T_C evidencing a normal Fermi-liquid behavior. Below 45 K deviations from the Korringa-law occur which are ascribed to enhanced magnetic fluctuations within the FeAs layers upon approaching the superconducting transition. Below T_C the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T_1^{\rm ESR} follows a T^{1.5}-behavior without the appearance of a coherence peak.

Disc golf (DG) has recently seen a large growth in popularity. UDisc, a DG app reported a 50% increase in their player base in 2020 compared to 2019. Despite this growth, very little literature correlates technique to performance maximization. This study aimed to gain insight into the biomechanics of forehand and backhand DG throws and to relate these findings to the skill level of the participants. Skill is assessed by relating the throwing mechanics of an athlete to their Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) rating, which assigns athletes a number to reflect their performance in PDGA events. The range of PDGA ratings is from the 600s (beginners) to the low 1000s for top professionals. In this study, the participants ranged from the 800s to low 1000 ratings.

description: We present an new approach for the ferromagnetic, three-dimensional, translational-symmetric Kondo lattice model which allows us to derive both magnon energies and linewidths (lifetimes) and to study the properties of the ferromagnetic phase at finite temperatures. Both "anomalous softening" and "anomalous damping" are obtained and discussed. Our method consists of mapping the Kondo lattice model onto an effective Heisenberg model by means of the "modified RKKY interaction" and the "interpolating self-energy approach". The Heisenberg model is approximatively solved by applying the Dyson-Maleev transformation and using the "spectral density approach" with a broadened magnon spectral density.

description: Training a deep neural model for semantic segmentation requires collecting a large amount of pixel-level labeled data. To alleviate the data scarcity problem presented in the real world, one could utilize synthetic data whose label is easy to obtain. Previous work has shown that the performance of a semantic segmentation model can be improved by training jointly with real and synthetic examples with a proper weighting on the synthetic data. Such weighting was learned by a heuristic to maximize the similarity between synthetic and real examples. In our work, we instead learn a pixel-level weighting of the synthetic data by meta-learning, i.e., the learning of weighting should only be minimizing the loss on the target task. We achieve this by gradient-on-gradient technique to propagate the target loss back into the parameters of the weighting model. The experiments show that our method with only one single meta module can outperform a complicated combination of an adversarial feature alignment, a reconstruction loss, plus a hierarchical heuristic weighting at pixel, region and image levels.

description: Given the ground state wavefunction for an interacting lattice model, we define a "correlation density matrix"(CDM) for two disjoint, separated clusters $A$ and $B$, to be the density matrix of their union, minus the direct product of their respective density matrices. The CDM can be decomposed systematically by a numerical singular value decomposition, to provide a systematic and unbiased way to identify the operator(s) dominating the correlations, even unexpected ones.

description: Seam carving is a method to resize an image in a content aware fashion. However, this method can also be used to carve out objects from images. In this paper, we propose a two-step method to detect and localize seam carved images. First, we build a detector to detect small patches in an image that has been seam carved. Next, we compute a heatmap on an image based on the patch detector's output. Using these heatmaps, we build another detector to detect if a whole image is seam carved or not. Our experimental results show that our approach is effective in detecting and localizing seam carved images.

MindPalace supports offline collaboration, where users work independently without real-time correspondence. The core of MindPalace is a critical step of offline collaboration: reconciling divergent branches made by simultaneous data manipulation. We formalize the concept of auto-mergeability, a condition under which branches may be reconciled without human intervention, and propose an efficient framework for determining whether two branches are auto-mergeable and identifying particular records for manual reconciliation.

description: Geodesic observers in cosmology are revisited. The coordinates based on freely falling observers introduced by Gautreau in de Sitter and Einstein-de Sitter spaces (and, previously, by Gautreau and Hoffmann in Schwarzschild space) are extended to general FLRW universes. We identify situations in which the relation between geodesic and comoving coordinates can be expressed explicitly in terms of elementary functions. In general, geodesic coordinates in cosmology turn out to be rather cumbersome and limited to the region below the apparent horizon.

description: A distributed detection problem over fading Gaussian multiple-access channels is considered. Sensors observe a phenomenon and transmit their observations to a fusion center using the amplify and forward scheme. The fusion center has multiple antennas with different channel models considered between the sensors and the fusion center, and different cases of channel state information are assumed at the sensors. The performance is evaluated in terms of the error exponent for each of these cases, where the effect of multiple antennas at the fusion center is studied. It is shown that for zero-mean channels between the sensors and the fusion center when there is no channel information at the sensors, arbitrarily large gains in the error exponent can be obtained with sufficient increase in the number of antennas at the fusion center. In stark contrast, when there is channel information at the sensors, the gain in error exponent due to having multiple antennas at the fusion center is shown to be no more than a factor of (8/pi) for Rayleigh fading channels between the sensors and the fusion center, independent of the number of antennas at the fusion center, or correlation among noise samples across sensors. Scaling laws for such gains are also provided when both sensors and antennas are increased simultaneously. Simple practical schemes and a numerical method using semidefinite relaxation techniques are presented that utilize the limited possible gains available. Simulations are used to establish the accuracy of the results.

description: We present fundamental parameters for 110 canonical K- & M-type (1.3$-$0.13$M_\odot$) Taurus-Auriga young stellar objects (YSOs). The analysis produces a simultaneous determination of effective temperature ($T_{\rm eff}$), surface gravity ($\log$ g), magnetic field strength (B), and projected rotational velocity ($v \sin i$). Our method employed synthetic spectra and high-resolution (R$\sim$45,000) near-infrared spectra taken with the Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrometer (IGRINS) to fit specific K-band spectral regions most sensitive to those parameters. The use of these high-resolution spectra reduces the influence of distance uncertainties, reddening, and non-photospheric continuum emission on the parameter determinations. The median total (fit + systematic) uncertainties were 170 K, 0.28 dex, 0.60 kG, 2.5 km s$^{-1}$ for $T_{\rm eff}$, $\log$ g, B, and $v \sin i$, respectively. We determined B for 41 Taurus YSOs (upper limits for the remainder) and find systematic offsets (lower $T_{\rm eff}$, higher $\log$ g and $v \sin i$) in parameters when B is measurable but not considered in the fit. The average $\log$ g for the Class II and Class III objects differs by 0.23$\pm$0.05dex, which is consistent with Class III objects being the more evolved members of the star-forming region. However, the dispersion in $\log$ g is greater than the uncertainties, which highlights how the YSO classification correlates with age ($\log$ g), yet there are exceptionally young (lower $\log$ g) Class III YSOs and relatively old (higher $\log$ g) Class II YSOs with unexplained evolutionary histories. The spectra from this work are provided in an online repository along with TW Hydrae Association (TWA) comparison objects and the model grid used in our analysis.

description: An incidence in a graph $G$ is a pair $(v,e)$ with $v \in V(G)$ and $e \in E(G)$, such that $v$ and $e$ are incident. Two incidences $(v,e)$ and $(w,f)$ are adjacent if $v=w$, or $e=f$, or the edge $vw$ equals $e$ or $f$. The incidence chromatic number of $G$ is the smallest $k$ for which there exists a mapping from the set of incidences of $G$ to a set of $k$ colors that assigns distinct colors to adjacent incidences. In this paper, we prove that the incidence chromatic number of the toroidal grid $T_{m,n}=C_m\Box C_n$ equals 5 when $m,n \equiv 0 \pmod 5$ and 6 otherwise.

Forecasting acute-care hospital beds using intra-regional transfers
Creators: name: Hastings, Gerald Leslie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Governments in this country have a mandate from their electorate to obtain the best social return from public investment in health care. Because of escalating capital and operating costs, the acute-care-hospital component of health care has recently come under close scrutiny. Accordingly, governments must forecast public demands for hospital services in order to plan the most effective and efficient delivery of these expensive hospital services. This thesis examines the British Columbia Ministry of Health's current method of forecasting acute-care-bed requirements which has been applied to the Greater Vancouver Regional Hospital District (G.V.R.H.D.) and then proposes an improved method which accounts for the movement of hospital patients from their district of residence to a district providing hospital services. A computer forecasting program was designed using the Provincial forecasting method as a base with the addition of a Transfer Matrix that distributes the acute-care patient-days generated by each of the G.V.R.H.D districts to those districts that provide hospital services. With this addition, the computer forecasting program better reflects the G.V.R.H.D.'s current source and distribution of the demand for hospital service. The computer forecasting program was verified by comparing its Standard Forecast to a manually calculated forecast. The program was then used firstly to analyse the sensitivity of the forecast of Hospital-Bed Requirements to changes in the values of the Population and Incidence Rate variables, and secondly, to analyse the effects of alternate policies regarding the input values of the program's variables. Firstly, the sensitivity analysis showed that if certain equal changes are made to the values of input variables, the sensitivity of the output forecast can vary among the districts. This aspect of the forecast enhances the value of the program as a method of analysing unexpected relationships. Secondly, the policy analysis showed that the computerized forecasting program can quickly produce alternate forecasts that correspond to alternate policies regarding the values selected for the program's variables. The policy-maker can then analyse the effects of these policies and thus be in a better position to weigh the costs and the benefits involved. For these reasons, the computer forecasting program developed for this thesis is an improvement over the current method used in British Columbia. However, the thesis does describe other current techniques that can, and should, now be incorporated into the computer forecasting program to offer more flexibility when analysing the effects of possible future conditions.

Schottky anomaly is a thermodynamical phenomenon that the specific heat of a system consisting of a finite number of energy levels has a peak at finite temperature due to the energy gaps. Using the masses of all hadrons that are experimentally established, we obtain the excitation energy scales of the hadron spectra and investigate their flavor dependence.

description: We discuss the possible enhancement of the tau lepton events at LHC when the left-handed stau doublet becomes light (which can be even lighter than the right-handed stau). This is illustrated in the constrained supersymmetric seesaw model where the slepton doublet mass is suppressed by the effects of a large neutrino Yukawa coupling. We study a few representative parameter sets in the sneutrino coannihilation regions where the tau sneutrino is NLSP and the stau coannihilation regions where the stau is NLSP both of which yield the thermal neutralino LSP abundance determined by WMAP.

description: We investigate, in the framework of linearized quantum gravity, the induced quantum gravitational interaction between two ground-state objects with permanent quadrupole moments, which are subjected to an external gravitational radiation field. Compared with the nonpolar case, there exists an additional term in the leading-order field-induced interobject interaction between two polar objects. This term arises when a real graviton is scattered by the same object center with coupling between the two objects occurring via the exchange of a single virtual graviton, and the interaction is thus relevant to the number density of gravitons, the frequency and polarization of the external gravitational field, as well as the permanent quadrupoles of the objects. Due to the existence of such an additional term, the field-induced quantum gravitational interaction between two polar objects can be significantly different from that between nonpolar ones when the interobject distance is much smaller than the wavelength of the external gravitational radiation field. Although we model the external gravitational radiation as a quantized monochromatic gravitational wave with a certain wave vector and polarization for simplicity, it is possible to generalize to more realistic situations, such as the case of a stochastic background of gravitational radiation.

description: A 1D, steady-state model for Brillouin and Raman backscatter from an inhomogeneous plasma is presented. The daughter plasma waves are treated in the strong damping limit, and have amplitudes given by the (linear) kinetic response to the ponderomotive drive. Pump depletion, inverse-bremsstrahlung damping, bremsstrahlung emission, Thomson scattering off density fluctuations, and whole-beam focusing are included. The numerical code DEPLETE, which implements this model, is described. The model is compared with traditional linear gain calculations, as well as "plane-wave" simulations with the paraxial propagation code pF3D. Comparisons with Brillouin-scattering experiments at the OMEGA Laser Facility [T. R. Boehly et al., Opt. Commun. 133, p. 495 (1997)] show that laser speckles greatly enhance the reflectivity over the DEPLETE results. An approximate upper bound on this enhancement, motivated by phase conjugation, is given by doubling the DEPLETE coupling coefficient. Analysis with DEPLETE of an ignition design for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) [J. A. Paisner, E. M. Campbell, and W. J. Hogan, Fusion Technol. 26, p. 755 (1994)], with a peak radiation temperature of 285 eV, shows encouragingly low reflectivity. Re-absorption of Raman light is seen to be significant in this design.

description: In this paper we prove that if $ϕ:\C\to\C$ is a $K$-quasiconformal map, with $K>1$, and $E\subset \C$ is a compact set contained in a ball $B$, then $$\frac{\dot C_{\frac{2K}{2K+1},\frac{2K+1}{K+1}}(E)}{\diam(B)^{\frac2{K+1}}} \geq c^{-1} (\frac{γ(ϕ(E))}{\diam(ϕ(B))})^{\frac{2K}{K+1}},$$ where $γ$ stands for the analytic capacity and $\dot C_{\frac{2K}{2K+1},\frac{2K+1}{K+1}}$ is a capacity associated to a non linear Riesz potential. As a consequence, if $E$ is not $K$-removable (i.e. removable for bounded $K$-quasiregular maps), it has positive capacity $\dot C_{frac{2K}{2K+1},\frac{2K+1}{K+1}}$. This improves previous results that assert that $E$ must have non $σ$-finite Hausdorff measure of dimension $2/(K+1)$. We also show that the indices $\frac{2K}{2K+1}$, $\frac{2K+1}{K+1}$ are sharp, and that Hausdorff gauge functions do not appropriately discriminate which sets are $K$-removable. So essentially we solve the problem of finding sharp "metric" conditions for $K$-removability.

description: Tungsten (W) concentrations in fluids in equilibrium with crystalline tungsten oxide are used to determine thermodynamic parameters for W solubility and W species in hydrothermal fluids. The solubility data were measured in situ at high pressures and temperatures using X-ray absorption. X-ray spectroscopic data measured in situ - with X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) - were applied to characterize the symmetry and the type of atoms of the first coordination shell of W aqueous complexes present in the fluid at given temperatures and pressures. Experiments were performed at up to 400 degrees C and at pressures of 40, 50 and 60 MPa. With this dataset, we were able to improve constraints for the already-suggested fluid species WO42-, HWO4-, H2WO40, NaWO4- and NaHWO40. Further, we were able to introduce the H3WO4+ species that is found to be dominant in acidic fluids. No evidence was found for W species involving Cl- as a ligand. The ionic W species found in the fluid are characterized by a tetrahedral complex at alkaline conditions. In neutral to acidic conditions, W complexes with distorted octahedral symmetry are formed. These complexes may be polymerized at temperatures <= 200 degrees C and W concentrations >10-3 mol kg-1 H2O. X-ray spectroscopy as well as thermodynamic modeling suggests that polytungstate species are not relevant at equilibrium concentrations found in the solubility experiments of this study (<= 10-3 mol W kg-1 H2O in equilibrium with tungsten oxide) or at concentrations reported for natural systems. Using the thermodynamic properties of the species mentioned above, in situ data on the solubility of scheelite can be successfully described. Thermodynamic modeling shows that scheelite solubility and wolframite solubility strongly increase with increasing salinity, especially up to 1 m NaCl (m denotes molality), and vary with pH, which is consistent with earlier reports. Overall, this study provides improved thermodynamic properties for a set of W fluid species that cover a wide range of fluid compositions, which is necessary for understanding the complex processes of W enrichment and mineralization in hydrothermal systems.

description: We consider N=2 supersymmetric extensions of the Camassa-Holm and Hunter-Saxton equations. We show that they admit geometric interpretations as Euler equations on the superconformal algebra of contact vector fields on the 1|2-dimensional supercircle. We use the bi-Hamiltonian formulation to derive Lax pairs. Moreover, we present some simple examples of explicit solutions. As a by-product of our analysis we obtain a description of the bounded traveling-wave solutions for the two-component Hunter-Saxton equation.

Pits, Uplifts and Small Chaos Features on Europa: Morphologic and Morphometric Evidence for Intrusive Upwelling and Lower Limits to Ice Shell Thickness

description: One of the clearest but unresolved questions for Europa is the thickness of its icy shell. Europa's surface is resplendent with geological features that bear on this question, and ultimately on its interior, geological history, and astrobiological potential. We characterize the size and topographic expression of circular and subcircular features created by endogenic thermal and tectonic disturbances on Europa: pits, uplifts, and small, subcircular chaos. We utilize the medium-resolution Galileo regional maps (RegMaps), as well as high-resolution regions, digital elevation models derived from albedo-controlled photoclinometry, and in some cases stereo-controlled photoclinometry. While limited in extent, the high-resolution images are extremely valuable for detecting smaller features and for overall geomorphological analysis. A peak in the size-distribution for all features is found at ~5-6 km in diameter and no pits smaller than 3.3 km in diameter were found in high resolution images. Additionally, there is a trend for larger pits to be deeper, and larger uplifts to be higher. Our data support a diapiric or intracrustal sill interpretation (as opposed to purely non-intrusive, melt-through models) and place a lower limit on ice shell thickness at the time of feature formation of 3-to-8 km, assuming isostasy and depending on the composition of the ice and underlying ocean.

description: The CMS detector is designed around a large 4 T superconducting solenoid, enclosed in a 12000-tonne steel return yoke. A detailed map of the magnetic field is required for the accurate simulation and reconstruction of physics events in the CMS detector, not only in the inner tracking region inside the solenoid but also in the large and complex structure of the steel yoke, which is instrumented with muon chambers. Using a large sample of cosmic muon events collected by CMS in 2008, the field in the steel of the barrel yoke has been determined with a precision of 3 to 8% depending on the location.
Role of the high-spin nucleon and delta resonances in the $KΛ$ and $KΣ$ photoproduction off the nucleon

description: We have investigated the effect of nucleon and delta resonances with spins 11/2, 13/2, and 15/2 in the kaon photoproduction process $γ+ N \to K + Y$ by using two covariant isobar models. The formalism for high-spin propagators and interaction Lagrangians were adopted from the works of Pascalutsa and Vrancx et al. The unknown parameters in the amplitudes, i.e., the coupling constants and hadronic form factor cutoffs, were obtained by fitting the calculated observables to experimental data. In the $KΛ$ channels the inclusion of $N(2600)I_{1,11}$ and $N(2700)K_{1,13}$ resonances improves the agreement between model calculations and experimental data significantly and reduces the dominance of resonances in the model by increasing the hadronic form factor cutoff of the Born terms. Furthermore, the inclusion of these resonances reduces the number of resonance structures in cross sections, including the structure in the $K^0Λ$ differential cross section at $W\approx 1650$ MeV, which could become a hint of the narrow resonance. In the $KΣ$ channels the inclusion of $N(2600)I_{1,11}$, $N(2700)K_{1,13}$, $Δ(2420)H_{3,11}$, $Δ(2750)I_{3,13}$, and $Δ(2950)K_{3,15}$ states also significantly improves the model and increases the hadronic form factor cutoff of the Born terms. However, different from the $KΛ$ channels, the inclusion of these high-spin resonances leads to more resonance structures in the $K^+Σ^0$ differential cross section. This investigation reveals that the second and third peaks in the $K^+Σ^0$ differential cross section originate from the $Δ(2000)F_{35}$ and $N(2290)G_{19}$ resonances, respectively. We have also evaluated the resonance properties at the pole positions and using the Breit-Wigner method.
