description: Phase mixing of Alfvén waves has been studied extensively as a possible coronal heating mechanism but without the full thermodynamic consequences considered self-consistently. It has been argued that in some cases, the thermodynamic feedback of the heating could substantially affect the transverse density gradient and even inhibit the phase mixing process. In this paper, we use MHD simulations with the appropriate thermodynamical terms included to quantify the evaporation following heating by phase mixing of Alfvén waves in a coronal loop and the effect of this evaporation on the transverse density profile. The numerical simulations were performed using the Lare2D code. We set up a 2D loop model consisting of a field-aligned thermodynamic equilibrium and a cross-field (background) heating profile. A continuous, sinusoidal, high-frequency Alfvén wave driver was implemented. As the Alfvén waves propagate along the field, they undergo phase mixing due to the cross-field density gradient in the coronal part of the loop. We investigated the presence of field-aligned flows, heating from the dissipation of the phase-mixed Alfvén waves, and the subsequent evaporation from the lower atmosphere. We find that phase mixing of Alfvén waves leads to modest heating in the shell regions of the loop and evaporation of chromospheric material into the corona with upflows of the order of only 5-20 m/s. Although the evaporation leads to a mass increase in the shell regions of the loop, the effect on the density gradient and, hence, on the phase mixing process, is insignificant. This paper self-consistently investigates the effect of chromospheric evaporation on the cross-field density gradient and the phase mixing process in a coronal loop. We found that the effects in our particular setup (small amplitude, high frequency waves) are too small to significantly change the density gradient.

description: This article traces a brief history of the use of single electron spins to compute. In classical computing schemes, a binary bit is represented by the spin polarization of a single electron confined in a quantum dot. If a weak magnetic field is present, the spin orientation becomes a binary variable which can encode logic 0 and logic 1. Coherent superposition of these two polarizations represent a qubit. By engineering the exchange interaction between closely spaced spins in neighboring quantum dots, it is possible to implement either classical or quantum logic gates.

description: We analyze proton decay via dimension six operators in certain GUT-like models derived from Type IIA orientifolds with $D6$-branes. The amplitude is parametrically enhanced by a factor of $α_{GUT}^{-1/3}$ relative to the coresponding result in four-dimensional GUT's. Nonetheless, even assuming a plausible enhancement from the threshold corrections, we find little overall enhancement of the proton decay rate from dimension six operators, so that the predicted lifetime from this mechanism remains close to $10^{36}$ years.

description: We propose a non-equilibrium hadronic model to interpret the observed excitation function of kaon-to-pion ratios in nuclear collisions at AGS and SPS energies. The crucial assumption of our model is that due to stronger stopping at lower energies the lifetime of the fireball is prolonged because the system has to build up the longitudinal expansion from internal pressure.

description: There has been an alarming increase in e-cigarette use and dependence among young people, many of whom would like to quit using e-cigarettes but are finding it difficult to do so. Impulsivity is associated with drug taking across many different types of drugs including nicotine. In prior research with cigarette smokers, cognitive interventions designed to reduce impulsivity, such as Episodic Future Thinking (EFT), have been shown to reduce cigarette demand and self-administration. The aim of the present study was to test if a brief EFT intervention decreases nicotine craving, impulsivity, and smoking choice among daily young adult e-cigarette users. Participants (N = 33; M = 21 years of age; 63.6% female; M = 13 e-cig uses per day) attended three within-subjects experimental sessions administered via Zoom. After a baseline acclimation session, participants attended two experimental sessions in counterbalanced order: 1) EFT in which they pre-experienced and described positive future events and 2) A control intervention in which they described their experiences watching three short videos. Measures of craving, mood, and delay discounting across three commodities: money, e-cigarette products, and food were completed before and after the manipulations. Within-subjects repeated measures ANOVAs revealed decreases in monetary delay discounting and craving in response to EFT. At the end of each session, participants also took part in a 40-minute vaping vs. money choice task. While survival analyses were not significant, 30.3% of participants chose to smoke after the EFT condition compared to 39.4% after the control condition. Additional research is needed to support the efficacy of EFT as a brief intervention for helping e-cigarette users increase their ability to abstain.

 Comment: In Japan, L. japonicum was previously known only from Rishiri-tô, an island to the west of Hokkaido. In the recent checklist of the Lathrobium species of Japan in (ASSING 2013f), L. japonicum is categorized as macropterous. However, according to Ryvkin (e-mail, 2 December, 2014), all the specimens from Kunashir, Iturup, and Sakhalin examined by him have reduced hind wings.

title: Conciliators of the Reformation
Creators: name: Hewer, Christopher T
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1987

description: This thesis sets out to show that there were men of conciliatory nature involved at the highest level of negotiations between the various parties in the 16th century Reformation. It focuses on Philip Melanchthon, the close friend and ally of Martin Luther, who represented the Evangelical cause in many colloquies. As the author of the Augsburg Confession he ranks among the greatest theologians of the period yet he was suspected of being too compliant and was at times called both crypto-Catholic and crypto-Calvinist. Melanchthon is unique in that he spent forty years of his life in discussions with humanists. Catholics and Protestants always seeking to find the middle way on which all men of goodwill could agree. Melanchthon was fired with a desire to reform a united Church but not at any cost. It is the mark of the conciliator that, while he will give unimportant ground wherever necessary, ultimately he will hold firm to his conscience and will not sacrifice his integrity for any apparent gain. A conciliator is by no means weak but rather the strongest of men. Melanchthon was not the only conciliator. There were men of a similar disposition on all sides who will be referred to here in dialogue with Melanchthon. A special section is devoted to the last real attempt at reconciliation, the Diet of Regensburg. It is viewed through the eyes of Cardinal Caspar Contarini, the Papal Legate. Contarini risked much in his attempt at reconciliation which was doomed to failure. By following Melanchthon and Contarini along their tortuous paths the thesis will bring out the nature of conciliation, its potential and analyse the Herculean effort which was expended in an attempt to restore the glorious unity of the Church with fidelity to the will of God as they perceived it.

description: We estimate the bispectrum of the Very Small Array data from the compact and extended configuration observations released in December 2002, and compare our results to those obtained from Gaussian simulations. There is a slight excess of large bispectrum values for two individual fields, but this does not appear when the fields are combined. Given our expected level of residual point sources, we do not expect these to be the source of the discrepancy. Using the compact configuration data, we put an upper limit of 5400 on the value of f_NL, the non-linear coupling parameter, at 95 per cent confidence. We test our bispectrum estimator using non-Gaussian simulations with a known bispectrum, and recover the input values.

Marginal and total exceedance probabilities of environmental contours

Year: 2020

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Various methods have been proposed for defining an environmental contour, based on different concepts of exceedance probability. In the inverse first-order reliability method (IFORM) and the direct sampling (DS) method, contours are defined in terms of exceedances within a region bounded by a hyperplane in either standard normal space or the original parameter space, corresponding to marginal exceedance probabilities under rotations of the coordinate system. In contrast, the more recent inverse second-order reliability method (ISORM) and highest density (HD) contours are defined in terms of an isodensity contour of the joint density function in either standard normal space or the original parameter space, where an exceedance is defined to be anywhere outside the contour. Contours defined in terms of the total probability outside the contour are significantly more conservative than contours defined in terms of marginal exceedance probabilities. In this work we study the relationship between the marginal exceedance probability of the maximum value of each variable along an environmental contour and the total probability outside the contour. The marginal exceedance probability of the contour maximum can be orders of magnitude lower than the total exceedance probability of the contour, with the differences increasing with the number of variables. The full abstract is longer than arxiv's requirement of 1,920 characters (see PDF).

description: The effect of silicone on the catalytic activity of Pt for oxygen reduction and hydrogen adsorption was studied using di-phenyl siloxane as a source compound at a rotating disc electrode (RDE). Di-phenyl siloxane did not affect the catalytic activity of Pt when it was injected into the electrolyte. However, it blocked the oxygen reduction reaction when it was premixed with the catalyst. Proton transport was not blocked in either case. We postulate that di-phenyl siloxane induces hydrophobicity and causes local water starvation thereby blocking oxygen transport. Hence, the slow leaching of silicone seals in a fuel cell could cause silicon accumulation in the electrode, which will irreversibly degrade fuel cell performance by blocking oxygen transport to the catalyst sites.

Our design features a tunable coupling between ions in adjacent lattice sites and a configurable ion-lattice connectivity, allowing one, e.g., to realize rectangular and triangular lattices with the same trap chip. We present detailed trap simulations of a simplest-instance ion array with $2\times9$ trapping sites and report on the fabrication of a prototype device in an industrial facility. The design and the employed fabrication processes are scalable to larger array sizes. We demonstrate trapping of ions in rectangular and triangular lattices and demonstrate transport of a $2\times2$ ion-lattice over one lattice period.

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Domestic violence causes emotional trauma within the individuals who experience it, and this trauma requires trauma-informed care (TIC). Dance has unexpected healing qualities, and many dance practices have the potential to be trauma informed. Dance/movement therapy offers participants with exercises and tools that help individuals overcome their trauma. These tools and practices and trauma-informed dance intervention practices. DMT is considered a highly effective healing modality for survivors of domestic violence. Survivors can experience these healing benefits in non-traditional therapy settings if these settings are trauma informed. Arts organizations have the potential to offer trauma-informed dance programming. Therefore, this thesis offers arts manager with a unique framework for implementing trauma-informed dance intervention practices within their organization.

Our framework is general and unifying and incorporates gradient systems, evolutionary variational inequalities and the classical boundary value problems, namely the Dirichlet, the Neumann and the periodic problems. Using notions and techniques from the nonlinear operator theory and from multivalued analysis, we obtain solutions for both the `convex' and `nonconvex' problems. Finally, we present the cases of special interest, which fit into our framework, illustrating the generality of our results.

description: The dynamic properties of water molecules in the rabbit lens were studied by proton nuclear magnetic resonance line shape analysis, measurements of relaxation times as a function of temperature and calorimetric measurements. The experiments prove, as already suggested by other authors, that there are two types of water in the lens of rabbit eyes, namely bound unfreezable hydration water and bulk freezable water. Line shape analysis and relaxometry showed, that this two types of water exist in two different environments, which may be identified as the nucleus and the cortex of the lens. The line shape analysis showed furthermore that water molecules in the rabbit lens has a common spin lattice relaxation time (T₁), but two different transverse relaxation times (T₂A and T₂B). The tentative model of fast water exchange on the T₁ time scale and slow water exchange on the T₂ time scale, was used to explain experimental proton relaxation data of the rabbit lens. An estimation for this exchange rate kₑₓ by comparing it to the relaxation times is given (T₁⁻¹≪kₑₓ≪ T₁⁻¹). It has also been shown by a calorimetric measurements, that the lenses can be easily undercooled to temperatures well below the freezing point of water. The achievable maximum undercooling temperature of the lens is a function of the cooling rate KC, therefore it has to be considered as an experimentally adjustable parameter which is not characteristic for the investigated sample. Thus it must be noted that any previous discussions about the specific value of the temperature of water crystallisation in biological systems need to be carefully reconsidered.

description: Contagion models are a primary lens through which we understand the spread of information over social networks. However, simple contagion models cannot reproduce the complex features observed in real-world data, leading to research on more complicated complex contagion models. A noted feature of complex contagion is social reinforcement that individuals require multiple exposures to information before they begin to spread it themselves. Here we show that the quoter model, a model of the social flow of written information over a network, displays features of complex contagion, including the weakness of long ties and that increased density inhibits rather than promotes information flow. Interestingly, the quoter model exhibits these features despite having no explicit social reinforcement mechanism, unlike complex contagion models. Our results highlight the need to complement contagion models with an information-theoretic view of information spreading to better understand how network properties affect information flow and what are the most necessary ingredients when modeling social behavior.

description: Generalized parton distributions encompass a wealth of information concerning the three-dimensional quark and gluon structure of the nucleon, and thus provide an ideal focus for the study of hadron structure using lattice QCD. The special limits corresponding to form factors and parton distributions are well explored experimentally, providing clear tests of lattice calculations, and the lack of experimental data for more general cases provides opportunities for genuine predictions and for guiding experiment. We present results from hybrid calculations with improved staggered (Asqtad) sea quarks and domain wall valence quarks at pion masses down to 350 MeV.

description: We analyse the production of a light charged Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via the quark-fusion mechanism $c \bar{b} \to H^- $ considering the decay channel $H^- \to τ\bar ν_τ$ in the final state. We study this process in the framework of the 2-Higgs Doublet Model Type III (2HDM-III) which assumes a four-zero texture in the Yukawa matrices and a general Higgs potential, wherein the two Higgs doublets coupling to both up and down fermions do generate Flavour Changing Neutral Currents (FCNCs) yet the latter can be controlled by the texture when flavour physics constraints are considered. We consider the parameter space of the model where this signal is enhanced and in agreement with both theoretical constraints and experimental data. In particular, we exploit the setup with lepton-specific-like Yukawa couplings and assess the LHC sensitivity to such $H^\pm$ signals against the dominant {irreducible and} reducible backgrounds. We show that in our model BR$(H^\pm \to cb) \sim 0.1- 0.2$ and BR$(H^\pm \to τν) \sim 0.7-0.9$ so that, under these conditions, the prospects for $H^\pm$ detection in the 2HDM-III in the aforementioned production and decay channels are excellent assuming standard collider energy and luminosity conditions.

description: Between 1942 and 1945, more than six hundred Northwestern University physicians and dentists, Chicago-area nurses, and enlisted men from across the country treated nearly 30,000 patients in Algeria and Italy as the 12th General Hospital Unit. Having processed the papers of James A. Conner and Michael L. Mason, who served as officers in the Unit, digitized and uploaded approximately one thousand documents into an online repository, and created a digital exhibit highlighting the legacy of the Unit, the staff at Northwesterns Galter Health Sciences Library & Learning Center wanted to call attention to these resources through a variety of outreach initiatives during the summer of 2019. The session discussed the evolution of the programming that ultimately included a speaker, presentation of a filmed interview with the 12th General Hospitals chief nurse, a traveling banner exhibit, and an open house showcasing materials from Galters collection and those of other Northwestern libraries and archives. It explored the efforts conducted to publicize these outreach endeavors that would attract a diverse audience and the partnerships that the Galter team established with other divisions of the University such as the Office of Alumni Affairs and the Office of Communications  and the broader Chicago community, including regional veterans groups and the family members of the veterans of those who served in the Unit that were discovered through genealogical research. Lastly the session examined how the staff gauged both the short-term and long-term success of the programming and some of the lessons learned that can shed light on how other institutions embark on a multi-faceted outreach mission.

description: Domestic violence causes emotional trauma within the individuals who experience it, and this trauma requires trauma-informed care (TIC). Dance has unexpected healing qualities, and many dance practices have the potential to be trauma informed. Dance/movement therapy offers participants with exercises and tools that help individuals overcome their trauma. These tools and practices and trauma-informed dance intervention practices. DMT is considered a highly effective healing modality for survivors of domestic violence. Survivors can experience these healing benefits in non-traditional therapy settings if these settings are trauma informed. Arts organizations have the potential to offer trauma-informed dance programming. Therefore, this thesis offers arts manager with a unique framework for implementing trauma-informed dance intervention practices within their organization.

description: As AI systems increasingly influence critical sectors like telecommunications, finance, healthcare, and public services, ensuring fairness in decision-making is essential to prevent biased or unjust outcomes that disproportionately affect vulnerable entities or result in adverse impacts. This need is particularly pressing as the industry approaches the 6G era, where AI will drive complex functions like autonomous network management and hyper-personalized services. The TEC Standard for Fairness Assessment and Rating of AI Systems provides guidelines for evaluating fairness in AI, focusing primarily on tabular data and supervised learning models. However, as AI applications diversify, this standard requires enhancement to strengthen its impact and broaden its applicability. This paper proposes an expansion of the TEC Standard to include fairness assessments for images, unstructured text, and generative AI, including large language models, ensuring a more comprehensive approach that keeps pace with evolving AI technologies. By incorporating these dimensions, the enhanced framework will promote responsible and trustworthy AI deployment across various sectors.

Physical wavelets: Lorentz covariant, singularity-free, finite energy, zero action, localized solutions to the wave equation

description: Particle physics has for some time made extensive use of extended field configuations such as solitons, instantons, and sphalerons. However, no direct use has yet been made of the quite extensive literature on ``localized wave'' configurations developed by the engineering, optics, and mathematics communities. In this article I will exhibit a particularly simple ``physical wavelet'' -- it is a Lorentz covariant classical field configuration that lives in physical Minkowski space. The field is everwhere finite and nonsingular, and has quadratic falloff in both space and time. The total energy is finite, the total action is zero, and the field configuration solves the wave equation. These physical wavelets can be constructed for both complex and real scalar fields, and can be extended to the Maxwell and Yang-Mills fields in a straightforward manner. Since these wavelets are finite energy, they are guaranteed to be classically present at finite temperature; since they are zero action, they can contribute to the quantum mechanical path integral at zero ``cost''.

title: Cyclical variations in the return migration of Scottish salmon by sea-age c.1790 to 1976
Creators: name: George, Anthony Frank
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1982

description: The thesis demonstrates by detailed statistics and factual historical comment that the return-migration of the Atlantic salmon of Scotland has varied by sea-age periodically over the past two hundred years’ or so. The conclusion reached is that such periodic variations by sea-age are a natural characteristic of the salmon run. The numerical return of the Scottish salmon consists of two principal classes of fish: One that has spent a single winter in the sea after migrating as a smolt (’’grilse”), and the other that has spent one winter and a part of a second, or longer, in the sea (’’salmon”). Therefore a consideration of periodic variations by sea-age implies a statistical comparison of the numbers of grilse with the numbers of salmon for identical years. This is the method adopted in the thesis which also conforms with the historical method of recording catches. The thesis identifies to the nearest approximate year or few years the principal cycles of return-migration by sea-age between c.1790 and 1976. Such variations are of major significance to both the commercial and the sporting salmon fisheries. Other properties of the return-migration are described and discussed, including periodic variations in the seasonal timing of the-main migrations of salmon and grilse and periodically varying fish average weights, both important factors affecting the salmon fishery.

description: Detailed studies of the azimuthal dependence of the mean fragment and flow energies in the Au+Au and Xe+CsI systems are reported as a function of incident energy and centrality. Comparisons between data and model calculations show that the flow energy values along different azimuthal directions could be viewed as snapshots of the fireball expansion with different exposure times. For the same number of participating nucleons more transversally elongated participant shapes from the heavier system produce less collective transverse energy. Good agreement with BUU calculations is obtained for a soft nuclear equation of state.

title: Determination of age, sex and origin of guillemots (Uria aalge) and razorbills (Alca torda) killed in oilspills and other incidents
Creators: name: Jones, Peter Hope
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1985

description: Large numbers of auks (Alcidae) have died in recent years in a variety of mortality incidents, many of which resulted from oil pollution. This thesis explores the background to determining age, sex and origin of Guillemots Uria aalge and Razorbills Ale a torda involved in such incidents, and presents data resulting from the examination of these birds. Ageing factors considered were cloacal bursa, supra-orbital ridge, gonad size, wing and bill measurements, and bill grooves in Razorbills. Most ageing factors were mutually supportive, though as yet there were only few confirmations from known-age birds. Sex determination was usually straight-forward, based on gonadal inspection. Especially in adults, males were on average shorter-winged and bigger—billed than females in both, species; however, individual birds could not safely be sexed from external measurements. Sex ratios, from various mortality incidents, were mainly equal in Razorbills of all ages and in adult Guillemots. Origins of Razorbills could be fixed morphometrically from size (as indicated by winglength and bill depth), which separated most birds of the form torda (breeding in Scandinavia and Russia) from those of the form islandica (breeding in France, Britain, Ireland, Faroe and Iceland).v Guillemots could be fixed more closely using three parameters which increased clinally through western Europe towards the north: winglength, proportion of bridled birds, and degree of colour saturation of upperparts. A knowledge of the age, sex and origin of auks involved in mortality incidents is important in contexts of conservation and of population ecology. Present knowledge could be particularly improved through the implementation of a minimum standard system of examination of auks killed in incidents; the storage and study of known-age (ringed) auk corpses; and the acquisition of more data on fine—grain taxonomy in European auks.

description: The well-known Regge-Wheeler equation describes the axial perturbations of Schwarzschild metric in the linear approximation. From a mathematical point of view it presents a particular case of the confluent Heun equation and can be solved exactly, due to recent mathematical developments. We present the basic properties of its general solution. A novel analytical approach and numerical techniques for study the boundary problems which correspond to quasi-normal modes of black holes and other simple models of compact objects are developed.
