description: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which collides protons at an energy of 14 TeV, produces hundreds of exabytes of data per year, making it one of the largest sources of data in the world today. At present it is not possible to even transfer most of this data from the four main particle detectors at the LHC to "offline" data facilities, much less to permanently store it for future processing. For this reason the LHC detectors are equipped with real-time analysis systems, called triggers, which process this volume of data and select the most interesting proton-proton collisions. The LHC experiment triggers reduce the data produced by the LHC by between 1/1000 and 1/100000, to tens of petabytes per year, allowing its economical storage and further analysis. The bulk of the data-reduction is performed by custom electronics which ignores most of the data in its decision making, and is therefore unable to exploit the most powerful known data analysis strategies. I cover the present status of real-time data analysis at the LHC, before explaining why the future upgrades of the LHC experiments will increase the volume of data which can be sent off the detector and into off-the-shelf data processing facilities (such as CPU or GPU farms) to tens of exabytes per year. This development will simultaneously enable a vast expansion of the physics programme of the LHC's detectors, and make it mandatory to develop and implement a new generation of real-time multivariate analysis tools in order to fully exploit this new potential of the LHC. I explain what work is ongoing in this direction and motivate why more effort is needed in the coming years.

description: Double photo-electron momentum spectra of the Helium atom are calculated \textit{ab initio} at extreme ultra-violet and near infrared wavelengths. At short wavelengths two-photon double ionization yields, two-electron energy spectra, and triply differential cross sections agree with results from recent literature. At the near infrared wavelength of $780\,nm$ the experimental single-to-double ionization ratio is reproduced up to intensities of $4\times 10^{14}W/cm^2$, and two-electron energy spectra and joint angular distributions are presented. The time-dependent surface flux (tSurff) approach is extended to full 3+3 spatial dimensions and systematic error control is demonstrated. We analyze our differential spectra in terms of an experimentally accessible quantitative measure of correlation.

description: Rapid developments in the emerging field of stretchable and conformable photonics necessitate analytical expressions for boundary conditions at metasurfaces of arbitrary geometries. Here, we introduce the concept of conformal boundary optics: a design theory that determines the optical response for designer input and output fields at such interfaces. Given any object, we can realise coatings to achieve exotic effects like optical illusions and anomalous diffraction behaviour. This approach is relevant to a broad range of applications from conventional refractive optics to the design of the next-generation of wearable optical components. This concept can be generalized to other fields of research where designer interfaces with nontrivial geometries are encountered.
Ideology or oppositional consciousness?: the conditions of feminist identification
Creators: name: Hunter, Anne Kristen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Why do some women call themselves feminists while others do not? Scholars studying feminist identity tend to focus only on the identities of women who are members of feminist organizations, or to assume that all women who agree with feminist ideas identify themselves as feminists. Tests of this assumption, however, have proven disappointing. I trace the history of this hypothesis, and using Jane Mansbridge and Aldon Morris' theory of oppositional consciousness, to develop my own. Using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), I test both hypotheses. I find that ideas do not matter; oppositional consciousness, not feminist ideology, is the key variable that conditions women’s feminist identification.

description: Mobile phone usage provides a wealth of information, which can be used to better understand the demographic structure of a population. In this paper we focus on the population of Mexican mobile phone users. Our first contribution is an observational study of mobile phone usage according to gender and age groups. We were able to detect significant differences in phone usage among different subgroups of the population. Our second contribution is to provide a novel methodology to predict demographic features (namely age and gender) of unlabeled users by leveraging individual calling patterns, as well as the structure of the communication graph. We provide details of the methodology and show experimental results on a real world dataset that involves millions of users.
Effects of co-ordination number on the nucleation behaviour in many-component self-assembly

description: We report canonical and grand-canonical lattice Monte Carlo simulations of the self-assembly of addressable structures comprising hundreds of distinct component types. The nucleation behaviour, in the form of free-energy barriers to nucleation, changes significantly as the co-ordination number of the building blocks is changed from 4 to 8 to 12. Unlike tetrahedral structures - which roughly correspond to DNA bricks that have been studied in experiment - the shapes of the free-energy barriers of higher co-ordination structures depend strongly on the supersaturation, and such structures require a very significant driving force for structure growth before nucleation becomes thermally accessible. Although growth at high supersaturation results in more defects during self-assembly, we show that high co-ordination number structures can still be assembled successfully in computer simulations and that they exhibit self-assembly behaviour analogous to DNA bricks. In particular, the self-assembly remains modular, enabling in principle a wide variety of nanostructures to be assembled, with a greater spatial resolution than is possible in low co-ordination structures.

description: A theoretical model supported by experimental results explains the dependence of the Raman scattering signal on the evolution of structural parameters along the amorphization trajectory of polycrystalline graphene systems. Four parameters rule the scattering efficiencies, two structural and two related to the scattering dynamics. With the crystallite sizes previously defined from X-ray diffraction and microscopy experiments, the three other parameters (the average grain boundaries width, the phonon coherence length, and the electron coherence length) are extracted from the Raman data with the geometrical model proposed here. The broadly used intensity ratio between the C-C stretching (G band) and the defect-induced (D band) modes can be used to measure crystallite sizes only for samples with sizes larger than the phonon coherence length, which is found equal to 32 nm. The Raman linewidth of the G band is ideal to characterize the crystallite sizes below the phonon coherence length, down to the average grain boundaries width, which is found to be 2.8 nm. "Ready-to-use" equations to determine the crystallite dimensions based on Raman spectroscopy data are given.

description: The optimal measurement configuration, i.e., the optimal input quantum state and measurement in the form of a POVM with two elements, is investigated in this paper for qubit and generalized Pauli channels. The channel directions are defined as the contracting directions of the channel with an arbitrary fixed basis of Pauli- matrices. In the qubit Pauli channel case with known channel directions it is shown that the optimal configuration that maximizes the Fisher information of the estimated parameters consists of three von Neumann measurements together with pure input states directed to the appropriate channel directions. Extensions of these results for generalized Pauli channels are also given. Furthermore, a computationally efficient estimation method is proposed for estimating the channel directions in the qubit Pauli channel case. The efficiency of this method is illustrated by simulations: it is shown that its variance is of order 1/N, where N is the number of used measurements.

Rotational Characterization of TESS Stars with Deep Learning
Creators: name: Claytor, Zachary R.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The TESS mission has the potential to probe stellar rotation in millions of stars across the entire sky, but mission systematics—instrumental noise, observing gaps, and changes in detector sensitivity—have prevented recovery of rotation periods longer than 13.7 days. We used deep learning to see through TESS systematics and recover periods from year-long light curves. Our approach uses a training set of synthesized light curves from realistic star spot evolution simulations, with real light curve systematics from quiet TESS stars. Evaluating the network on real TESS data, we recovered periods for 20,000 cool dwarfs. The period distribution resembles the Kepler and K2 distributions, including periods up to 90 days. Using gyrochronology, we estimated masses, ages, and other fundamental stellar parameters for 5,000 TESS stars with APOGEE spectroscopy. We combine this with a similar sample from Kepler and show that we can use rotation-based ages to recover Galactic chemical evolution trends previously seen only in stars more massive or more evolved than the Sun. With rotation periods across the entire sky, we can characterize stars along many more lines of sight than before, enabling detailed study of the Galaxy’s stellar populations.

description: Many-qubit entanglement is crucial for quantum information processing although its exploitation is hindered by the detrimental effects of the environment surrounding the many-qubit system. It is thus of importance to study the dynamics of general multipartite nonclassical correlation, including but not restricted to entanglement, under noise. We did this study for four-qubit GHZ state under most common noises in an experiment and found that nonclassical correlation is more robust than entanglement except when it is imposed to dephasing channel. Quantum discord presents a sudden transition in its dynamics for Pauli-X and Pauli-Y noises as well as Bell-diagonal states interacting with dephasing reservoirs and it decays monotonically for Pauli-Z and isotropic noises.

VERTICALIZATION, WARTIME AMERICANIZATION EFFORTS, AND THE GERMAN-TO-ENGLISH SHIFT AMONG THE MENNONITE BRETHREN OF HILLSBORO, KANSAS

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Linguistics
subject: FOS: Languages and literature

description: In the early to mid-twentieth century, the Mennonite Brethren (MB) community of Hillsboro, Kansas, underwent a systematic language shift from German to English. Many attribute this shift to the anti-German sentiment and resulting discriminatory governmental measures caused by the World Wars. However, like many American communities in the early twentieth century, the MB in Hillsboro also underwent a process of community change called verticalization. Verticalization refers to the process by which a community's connections become less internally and locally bound (horizontal) and more externally and hierarchically bound (vertical). In recent scholarship (Salmons 2002; Lucht, Frey, & Salmons 2011), verticalization--and not the World Wars or other factors like urban-rural asymmetry--has been seen to have the strongest correlation with language shift. Using US census data, information about the community's German-language press, and meeting minutes from two area churches, this project traces the shift from German to English in this community as well as its verticalization. Additionally, it explores the effects of the World Wars on this community's language shift. The findings do not show a correlation between language shift and the World Wars, but they do show a strong consistency between verticalization and language shift. Crucially, this provides support for the theory of verticalization as a facilitator of language change.

description: Conspiracy theories about secret agendas behind vaccination programmes, the side effects of medical treatments, and cover-ups by the government or pharmaceutical industry are prevalent in many countries, and can have highly detrimental and far-reaching effects on people’s wellbeing. For, research and policy-making in public health, it is therefore vital to understand the nature, construction and dissemination of these health conspiracy theories (HCTs). Inspired by the influential ATU index of folktale types, this project presents a typology and example index of international HCTs to be used as a tool to enable researchers to identify and categorise HCTs they come across, and to provide a pool of examples of HCTs which could be used in various fields of research and a paper presenting the index. Also presented are two studies which used the HCT Index as a source of material. The first, a survey of HCT exposure and belief in the UK found that both familiarity and belief were high: 97% of Britons are familiar (having heard the same or similar before) with at least one HCT and 49% of Britons believed that at least one HCT was likely to be true. Demographic influences are also discussed. The second study, a focus group discussion health rumours in rural Sri Lanka, found concerns over threats to fertility as well as how to verify information that falls outside of typical experience.

description: Solar modulation potential (SMP) reconstructions based on cosmogenic nuclide records reflect changes in the open solar magnetic field and can therefore help us obtain information on the behaviour of the open solar magnetic field over the Holocene period. We aim at comparing the Sun's large-scale magnetic field behaviour over the last three solar cycles with variations in the SMP reconstruction through the Holocene epoch. To achieve these objectives, we use the IntCal13 $^{14}$C data to investigate distinct patterns in the occurrences of grand minima and maxima during the Holocene period. We then check whether these patterns might mimic the recent solar magnetic activity by investigating the evolution of the energy in the Sun's large-scale dipolar magnetic field using the Wilcox Solar Observatory data. The cosmogenic radionuclide data analysis shows that $\sim$71\% of grand maxima during the period from 6600 BC to 1650 AD were followed by a grand minimum. The occurrence characteristics of grand maxima and minima are consistent with the scenario in which the dynamical non-linearity induced by the Lorentz force leads the Sun to act as a relaxation oscillator. This finding implies that the probability for these events to occur is non-uniformly distributed in time, as there is a memory in their driving mechanism, which can be identified via the back reaction of the Lorentz force.

We also evaluate whether the norms of civil discourse can alter people’s perceptions of how partisan disagreements and divisiveness affect their lives.

In this paper we mainly focus on solving a 3-dimensional optimization problem, which gives us a non-trivial example for the so-called conditional SIC- POVMs, a straightforward generalization of the concept of SIC-POVMs. We also present other special cases to show further applications of the proposed numerical methods and to illustrate the complexity of this topic.

Of particular interest in the context of string theory are models which additionally possess a shift-symmetry. In this case there exists a dual description of chiral models in terms of real linear multiplets. We classify all ungauged shift-symmetric no-scale supergravities in both formulations and verify that they match upon dualization. Additionally, we comment on the realizations within effective supergravities descending from string compactifications.

Creators: name: Siddarth Subramanian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: HotelBooking,Registration,PLC,RAMLAPI,Integration,SAG,IOT and UWB

description: The project aimed to enhance customer satisfaction and user experience through the integration of a dynamic user interface (UI) in a web-based hotel booking system. The developed web application enabled real-time monitoring of room booking status and order history for the sales team to efficiently engage with customers. To achieve this goal, the project employed an agile software development methodology and utilized various web development technologies such as ReactJS, Node.js and MongoDB.In current example a CSV has been used for updating files. Additionally, a RESTful API was implemented to provide an interface for the customers to interact with the system. This API was developed using RAML (RESTful API Modeling Language) and deployed on Anypoint Platform, providing customers with the capability to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on their bookings. The API also implemented various security measures such as OAuth2 authentication and access control to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of customer data

description: We prove new strong converse results in a variety of group testing settings, generalizing a result of Baldassini, Johnson and Aldridge. These results are proved by two distinct approaches, corresponding to the non-adaptive and adaptive cases. In the non-adaptive case, we mimic the hypothesis testing argument introduced in the finite blocklength channel coding regime by Polyanskiy, Poor and Verdú. In the adaptive case, we combine a formulation based on directed information theory with ideas of Kemperman, Kesten and Wolfowitz from the problem of channel coding with feedback. In both cases, we prove results which are valid for finite sized problems, and imply capacity results in the asymptotic regime. These results are illustrated graphically for a range of models.

description: Background:Methylphenidate (MPH) is the first-line pharmacological treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). MPH binds to the dopamine (DA) transporter (DAT), which has high density in the striatum. Assessments of the striatal dopamine transporter by single positron emission computed tomography (SPECT) in childhood and adolescent patients are rare but can provide insight on how the effects of MPH affect DAT availability. The aim of our within-subject study was to investigate the effect of MPH on DAT availability and how responsivity to MPH in DAT availability is linked to clinical symptoms and cognitive functioning. MethodsThirteen adolescent male patients (9-16 years) with a diagnosis of ADHD according to the DSM-IV and long-term stimulant medication (for at least 6 months) with MPH were assessed twice within 7 days using SPECT after application of I-123-beta-CIT to examine DAT binding potential (DAT BP). SPECT measures took place in an on- and off-MPH status balanced for order across participants. A virtual reality continuous performance test was performed at each time point. Further clinical symptoms were assessed for baseline off-MPH. ResultsOn-MPH status was associated with a highly significant change (-29.9%) of striatal DAT BP as compared to off-MPH (t = -4.12, p = 0.002). A more pronounced change in striatal DAT BP was associated with higher off-MPH attentional and externalizing symptom ratings (Pearson r = 0.68, p = 0.01). Striatal DAT BP off-MPH, but not on-MPH, was associated with higher symptom ratings (Pearson r = 0.56, p = 0.04). ConclusionOur findings corroborate previous reports from mainly adult samples that MPH changes striatal DAT BP availability and suggest higher off-MPH DAT BP, likely reflecting low baseline DA levels, as a marker of symptom severity.
New urbanism and aging in place

description: We are now familiar with the application of new urbanism in residential developments in Canada. As a model, new urbanism recognizes the need to provide communities that support aging in place. Developments based on the model, however, have not adequately addressed needs for barrier-free and affordable housing, and access to services. At the same time, new urbanism incorporates an approach to planning communities that is end-design driven, and promotes the collaboration of all interested parties to make it happen - an approach that can provide the basis for planning communities that facilitate aging in place.
description: Nous sommes maintenant accoutumés avec le nouvel urbanisme qui a été mis de l'avant dans l'aménagement d'ensembles résidentiels au Canada. Ce modèle tient compte du besoin de créer des communautés qui encouragent le vieillissement chez soi. Les aménagements qui utilisent ce modèle n'offrent cependant pas toujours des logements abordables d'accès facile ou les services appropriés. Le nouvel urbanisme encourage un aménagement communautaire coopératif, axé sur les résultats, ce qui pourrait faciliter la création de communautés faisant la promotion du vieillissement chez soi.

Speeded 3PL models with item order effects and individual differences in tolerance for difficulty
Creators: name: He, Jason
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Traditional models in item response theory (IRT) neglect speededness, which occurs when a time constraint preclues examinees from responding to items to the best of their abilities. This manuscript examines a model for the combination of two distinct phenomena that have been studied in the literature only in isolation: (1) the effect of gradually increasing pressure as the time limit approaches, and (2) the test-taking strategy of saving harder items for later instead of working through all items in the order of their presentation. The combined model is fitted to simulated and empirical data, using both a classic and a cutting-edge algorithm for parameter estimation. Results suggest the combined model achieves superior goodness-of-fit statistics for some tests, but for other tests, a more parsimonious model suffices. Implications for practicioners as well as avenues for future research are discussed.

Fractional Topological States in Quantum Spin Chains with Periodical Modulation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report the findings of fractional topological states in one-dimensional periodically modulated quantum spin chains with up to third neighbor interactions. By exact numerical studies, we demonstrate the existence of topologically nontrivial degenerate ground states at some specific magnetizations, which can be characterized by the nonzero-integer total Chern numbers of the degenerate ground states and the emergence of nontrivial edge states under open boundary conditions. We find that the low-energy excitations obey bosonic $ν=1/2$ fractional statistics for the spin-$1/2$ system and $ν=1$ non-Abelian statistics for the spin-$1$ system, respectively. The discovered fractional quantum states provide another route to the theoretical exploration of fractional quantum states in correlated spin systems.

How can intermediate teachers guide effective personalized inquiry projects that develop 21st century skills?
Creators: name: Watford, Lindsey C
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University

Subjects: subject: Inquiry-based learning

description: As teachers strive to align their practices with the Big Ideas and Core Competencies of the recently updated BC curriculum, they are increasingly exploring ways to help meet curricular requirements. My intention for this project was to combine three elements -- inquiry learning with a focus on essential questions, use of technology to personalize learning and benefits of gamification -- in a unique way to address my critical challenge question: How can intermediate teachers guide effective personalized inquiry projects that develop 21st century skills? I created a website called Mission Inquiry, presenting digital gameboard missions with lessons on how to create essential questions and progress through inquiry stages, ideas for research and presentation, and assessment rubrics aligned with current guidelines for the Nanaimo Ladysmith Public School District. Everything created has the flexibility to be adapted to meet the needs of both teachers and students. The site was designed using Google applications (G Suite), with data collection via a Google form questionnaire. Overall feedback for the Mission Inquiry website was very positive. Limitations for implementing Mission Inquiry revolve around individual technical skill level, confidence in using technology, and understanding the inquiry process for both teachers and students. Future research is needed on the value of blending of inquiry, technology and gamification to effectively engage students.
