Women art students in America: An historical study of academic art instruction during the nineteenth century
Creators: name: Green, Marcia Hyland
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Art historians have suggested that one reason for the small number of women artists prior to the twentieth century was limited access to appropriate artistic instruction. Current art historical texts on nineteenth-century American art have given very little attention to women artists of the period. It was the researcher's goal in the present study to determine if a lack of appropriate educational opportunities was one explanation for the obscurity of nineteenth-century American women artists. Therefore, the purpose of the research was to analyze academic art training for American women during the past century. The study examined four nineteenth-century art schools: the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the National Academy of Design, the Art Students League, and the Corcoran School of Art. All four schools employed the French academic model for art instruction. The "academic" approach to art training emphasized drawing instruction in which elementary students copied plaster casts of antique Greek and Roman statues; advanced students drew from live, usually nude, models. The research focused on the curriculum, faculty, student competitions, and the educational environment of each program as it pertained to women's art education. The research findings indicated that American academic art schools during the nineteenth century provided women students with thorough and rigorous academic art instruction and that there were only minor differences in the curricular course of study for men and for women. The researcher did uncover specific instances of racism, sexual harassment, gender stereotyping, and restrictive social attitudes. However, even with these occurrences, the four schools under study provided women art students with comprehensive training, professional opportunities, and personal support. There was relative equality in the educational environment for male and female students. Although the study did not cover nineteenth-century European art schools, the surprising implication was that the American schools were far more progressive and offered greater opportunities than their European counterparts. Therefore, the conclusion of the study was that a lack of appropriate education cannot be adduced as the reason for the obscurity of nineteenth-century American women artists.

description: Porcine Growth Hormone (pGH) causes a significant feed efficiency improvement in swine with resulting positive short-run economic impacts on medium-sized hog farms. Linear programming results indicate that pGH will not alter competitive positions within this group. Land values, hog and corn supplies will change as will the quality of meat produced.
The solubilization of esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid and p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid in surfactant solutions
Creators: name: Hochberg, Martha Leah
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: A property of surfactant solutions which is a direct consequence of their formation of micelles in the bulk phase is the phenomenon of solubilization, in aqueous solution the ability to dissolve water-insoluble materials. Ten higher fatty esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid and p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid were selected for study in part because of their relation to compounds which have found use as the active ingredient in sunscreen formulations. The present study was undertaken to obtain qualitative and quantitative data on the ability of ten commercial surfactants to solubilize homologous series of the higher molecular weight fatty esters with even-numbered straight-chain alkyl groups consisting of ten to eighteen carbon atoms. The measurement of the absorbance of the ultraviolet absorption maximum of the esters in the surfactant solutions has been used to determine the extent of solubilization. From this research it was found that, of the ten commercial surfactants studied, the two most effective solubilizers proved to be Triton X-100 and sulfobetaine. All of the surfactants utilized in this study, except Triton X-100, bear a dodecyl, or similar alkyl chain. Under the experimental conditions of this research, i.e., 40$\sp\circ$C and solubilization conditions which did not involve extensive solution agitation, a preferential solubility of the dodecyl esters has been observed in most cases. Shifts in the wavelength of maximum absorbance were also observed for the larger esters in several surfactant solutions, accompanied by low absorbance values. The results suggest that solubilization of these compounds may begin in the hydrocarbon interior of the micelle and proceed to the palisade layer as the concentration of solubilized species in the micelle increases.

description: We investigate the solution landscape of a reduced Landau--de Gennes model for nematic liquid crystals on a two-dimensional hexagon at a fixed temperature, as a function of $λ$---the edge length. This is a generic example for reduced approaches on regular polygons. We apply the high-index optimization-based shrinking dimer method to systematically construct the solution landscape consisting of multiple defect solutions and relationships between them. We report a new stable T state with index-$0$ that has an interior $-1/2$ defect; new classes of high-index saddle points with multiple interior defects referred to as H class and TD class; changes in the Morse index of saddle points with $λ^2$ and novel pathways mediated by high-index saddle points that can control and steer dynamical pathways. The range of topological degrees, locations and multiplicity of defects offered by these saddle points can be used to navigate through complex solution landscapes of nematic liquid crystals and other related soft matter systems.

description: Context. The [CII] 158 μm far-infrared (FIR) fine-structure line is one of the most important cooling lines of the star-forming interstellar medium (ISM). High spectral resolution observations have shown complex structures in the line profiles of the [CII] emission. Aims. Our aim is to determine whether the complex profiles observed in [^{12}CII] are due to individual velocity components along the line-of-sight or to self-absorption based on a comparison of the [^{12}CII] and isotopic [^{13}CII] line profiles. Methods. Deep integrations with the SOFIA/upGREAT 7-pixel array receiver in M43, Horsehead~PDR, Monoceros~R2, and M17~SW allow for the detection of optically thin [^{13}CII] emission lines, along with the [^{12}CII] emission lines, with a high signal-to-noise ratio. We first derived the [^{12}CII] optical depth and the [CII] column density from a single component model. However, the complex line profiles observed require a double layer model with an emitting background and an absorbing foreground. A multi-component velocity fit allows us to derive the physical conditions of the [CII] gas: column density and excitation temperature. Results. We find moderate to high [^{12}CII] optical depths in all four sources and self-absorption of [^{12}CII] in Mon R2 and M17 SW. The high column density of the warm background emission corresponds to an equivalent Av of up to 41 mag. The foreground absorption requires substantial column densities of cold and dense [CII] gas, with an equivalent Av ranging up to about 13 mag. Conclusions. The column density of the warm background material requires multiple photon-dominated region (PDR) surfaces stacked along the line of sight and in velocity. The substantial column density of dense and cold foreground [CII] gas detected in absorption cannot be explained with any known scenario and we can only speculate on its origins

In this paper, we describe a rigorous computer program for attempting to construct a cone field in the tangent bundle over J, which is preserved by DH, and a continuous norm in which DH (and DH^{-1}) uniformly expands the cones (and their complements). We show a consequence of a successful construction is a proof that H is hyperbolic on J. We give several new examples of hyperbolic maps, produced with our computer program, Hypatia, which implements our methods.

description: Non-trivial topology and unconventional pairing are two central guiding principles in the contemporary search for and analysis of superconducting materials and heterostructure compounds. Previously, a topological superconductor has been predominantly conceived to result from a topologically non-trivial band subject to intrinsic or external superconducting proximity effect. Here, we propose a new class of topological superconductors which are uniquely induced by unconventional pairing. They exhibit a boundary-obstructed higher-order topological character and, depending on their dimensionality, feature unprecedently robust Majorana bound states or hinge modes protected by chiral symmetry. We predict the 112-family of iron pnictides, such as Ca$_{1-x}$La$_x$FeAs$_2$, to be a highly suited material candidate for our proposal, which can be tested by edge spectroscopy. Because of the boundary-obstruction, the topologically non-trivial feature of the 112 pnictides does not reveal itself for a bulk-only torus band analysis without boundaries, and as such had evaded previous investigations. Our proposal not only opens a new arena for highly stable Majorana modes in high-temperature superconductors, but also provides the smoking gun evidence for extended s-wave order in the iron pnictides.

description: We investigate the quantum structure of Witten's cubic open bosonic string field theory by computing the one-loop contribution to the open string tadpole using both oscillator and conformal field theory methods. We find divergences and a breakdown of BRST invariance in the tadpole diagram arising from tachyonic and massless closed string states, and we discuss ways of treating these problems. For a Dp-brane with sufficiently many transverse dimensions, the tadpole can be rendered finite by analytically continuing the closed string tachyon by hand; this diagram then naturally incorporates the (linearized) shift of the closed string background due to the presence of the brane. We observe that divergences at higher loops will doom any straightforward attempt at analyzing general quantum effects in bosonic open string field theory on a Dp-brane of any dimension, but our analysis does not uncover any potential obstacles to the existence of a sensible quantum open string field theory in the supersymmetric case.

description: We study the boundary correlation functions in Liouville theory and in solvable statistical models of 2D quantum gravity. In Liouville theory we derive functional identities for all fundamental boundary structure constants, similar to the one obtained for the boundary two-point function by Fateev, Zamolodchikov and Zamolodchikov. All these functional identities can be written as difference equations with respect to one of the boundary parameters. Then we switch to the microscopic realization of 2D quantum gravity as a height model on a dynamically triangulated disc and consider the boundary correlation functions of electric, magnetic and twist operators. By cutting open the sum over surfaces along a domain wall, we derive difference equations identical to those obtained in Liouville theory. We conclude that there is a complete agreement between the predictions of Liouville theory and the discrete approach.

description: Abstract—Quantum programs implement quantum algorithms solving complex computational problems. Testing such programs is challenging due to the inherent characteristics of Quantum Computing (QC), such as the probabilistic nature and computations in superposition. However, automated and systematic testing is needed to ensure the correct behavior of quantum programs. To this end, we present an approach called Quito (QUantum InpuT Output coverage) consisting of three coverage criteria defined on the inputs and outputs of a quantum program, together with their test generation strategies. Moreover, we define two types of test oracles, together with a procedure to determine the passing and failing of test suites with statistical analyses. To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the three coverage criteria, we conducted experiments with five quantum programs. We used mutation analysis to determine the coverage criteria’ effectiveness and cost in terms of the number of test cases. Based on the results of mutation analysis, we also identified equivalent mutants for quantum programs. Index Terms—quantum programs, software testing, coverage criteria, mutation analysis
Empirical formulas for the fermion spectra and Yukawa matrices

description: We present empirical relations that connect the dimensionless ratios of fermion masses for the charged lepton, up-type quark and down-type quark sectors. Explaining these relations from first principles imposes strong constraints on the search for the theory of flavor. We present a simple set of normalized Yukawa matrices, with only two real parameters and one complex phase, which accounts with precision for these mass relations and for the CKM matrix elements and also suggests a simpler parametrization of the CKM matrix. The proposed Yukawa matrices accommodate the measured CP-violation, giving a particular relation between standard model CP-violating phases, beta=Arg(2 - exp^{-i*gamma}). According to this relation, the measured value of beta is close to the maximum value that can be reached. Finally, the particular mass relations with the charged lepton sector find their simplest explanation in the context of grand unified models through the use of the Georgi-Jarlskog factor.

Individual and group differences in minority influence

Year: 2023

description: The present study provided a modest test of Moscovici's (1980) conversion and Latane's (1981) social impact hypotheses of social influence with regard to minorities and majorities in groups. Eighty subjects were tested in a 3 x 2 x 3 mixed factorial design, including two between-subjects factors (minority and majority influence; high, moderate and low levels of the need for cognition), and a within-subjects factor (a discussion session repeated three times). Subjects in six-person groups were exposed to minority (two persons) or majority (four persons) confederate statements against student decision making regarding tuition hikes. Subjects' attitudes, idea production and recall, and delayed behavioral response were assessed. Results were mixed. Majorities induced greater immediate attitude change, but minorities yielded greater delayed response. Minorities also invoked more publicly opposing and neutral ideas, and production of questions posed to other group members. High need for cognition was generally associated with greater idea production, greater public opposition to the confederate position, and more effortful thinking. The repeated measures factor had little effect. Limitations and implications for minority influence research, person-situation literature, and cognitive response analysis are discussed.

description: The CENNS-10 experiment of the COHERENT collaboration has recently reported the first detection of coherent-elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) in liquid Argon with more than $3 σ$ significance. In this work, we exploit the new data in order to probe various interesting parameters which are of key importance to CEvNS within and beyond the Standard Model. A dedicated statistical analysis of these data shows that the current constraints are significantly improved in most cases. We derive a first measurement of the neutron rms charge radius of Argon, and also an improved determination of the weak mixing angle in the low energy regime. We also update the constraints on neutrino non-standard interactions, electromagnetic properties and light mediators with respect to those derived from the first COHERENT-CsI data.

description: Data flow testing creates test requirements as definition-use (DU) associations, where a definition is a program location that assigns a value to a variable and a use is a location where that value is accessed. Data flow testing is expensive, largely because of the number of test requirements. Luckily, many DU-associations are redundant in the sense that if one test requirement (e.g., node, edge, DU-association) is covered, other DU-associations are guaranteed to also be covered. This relationship is called subsumption. Thus, testers can save re- sources by only covering DU-associations that are not subsumed by other testing requirements. Although this has the potential to significantly decrease the cost of data flow testing, finding subsumption among DU-associations is quite difficult. Previous solutions are costly and contain subtle flaws that sometimes lead to incorrect results. We model the data flow testing subsumption as a data flow analysis framework, allowing us to use efficient algorithms that quickly discover data flow subsumption relationships. Experimental data suggest that the framework and algorithm can reduce the cost of data flow testing and will work at scale.

description: Let $G$ be a Cayley graph of the elementary abelian $2$-group $\mathbb{Z}_2^{n}$ with respect to a set $S$ of size $d$. We prove that for any such $G, S$ and $d$, the maximum degree of any induced subgraph of $G$ on any set of more than half the vertices is at least $\sqrt d$. This is deduced from the recent breakthrough result of Huang who proved the above for the $n$-hypercube $Q^n$, in which the set of generators $S$ is the set of all vectors of Hamming weight $1$. Motivated by his method we define and study unitary signings of adjacency matrices of graphs, and compare them to the orthogonal signings of Huang. As a byproduct, we answer a recent question of Belardo et. al. about the spectrum of signed $5$-regular graphs.

description: We propose TBA integral equations for multiparticle soliton (fermion) states in the Sine-Gordon (massive Thirring) model. This is based on T-system and Y-system equations, which follow from the Bethe Ansatz solution in the light-cone lattice formulation of the model. Even and odd charge sectors are treated on an equal footing, corresponding to periodic and twisted boundary conditions, respectively. The analytic properties of the Y-system functions are conjectured on the basis of the large volume solution of the system, which we find explicitly. A simple relation between the TBA Y-functions and the counting function variable of the alternative non-linear integral equation (Destri-deVega equation) description of the model is given.

description: The present study provided a modest test of Moscovici's (1980) conversion and Latane's (1981) social impact hypotheses of social influence with regard to minorities and majorities in groups. Eighty subjects were tested in a 3 x 2 x 3 mixed factorial design, including two between-subjects factors (minority and majority influence; high, moderate and low levels of the need for cognition), and a within-subjects factor (a discussion session repeated three times). Subjects in six-person groups were exposed to minority (two persons) or majority (four persons) confederate statements against student decision making regarding tuition hikes. Subjects' attitudes, idea production and recall, and delayed behavioral response were assessed. Results were mixed. Majorities induced greater immediate attitude change, but minorities yielded greater delayed response. Minorities also invoked more publicly opposing and neutral ideas, and production of questions posed to other group members. High need for cognition was generally associated with greater idea production, greater public opposition to the confederate position, and more effortful thinking. The repeated measures factor had little effect. Limitations and implications for minority influence research, person-situation literature, and cognitive response analysis are discussed.

description: The roles of land grant university economists in the public policy process are shaped by the purpose, principles and practice of policy extension education, the interface of policy extension and research, and the economist's tool kit. Land grant extension and research can meet the growing need for knowledge and understanding of public problems and policy solutions if they strive to maintain objectivity, continue to serve a broad public, ensure a strong extension-research partnership, and make wise use of the economist's expanding tool kit.

description: Much of the progress in Astronomy has been driven by instrumental developments, from the first telescopes to fiber fed spectrographs. In this review we describe the field of astrophotonics, a combination of photonics and astronomical instrumentation that has the potential to drive the next generation of developements. We begin with the science cases that have been identified as possibly benefiting from astrophotonic devices. We then discuss devices, methods and developments in the field along with the advantages they provide. We conclude by describing possible future developments in the field and their influence on astronomy.

description: We derive a correspondence between (Lorentzian) harmonic maps into the pseudosphere $S_1^2$, with appropriate regularity conditions, and certain connection 1-forms. To these harmonic maps, we associate a representation of type Weierstrass, and we apply it to construct timelike surfaces with constant mean curvature.

description: We introduce a new quasi-isometry invariant of metric spaces called the hyperbolic dimension, hypdim, which is a version of the Gromov's asymptotic dimension, asdim. The hyperbolic dimension is at most the asymptotic dimension, however, unlike the asymptotic dimension, the hyperbolic dimension of any Euclidean space R^n is zero (while asdim R^n=n.) This invariant possesses usual properties of dimension like monotonicity and product theorems. Our main result says that the hyperbolic dimension of any Gromov hyperbolic space X (with mild restrictions) is at least the topological dimension of the boundary at infinity plus 1. As an application we obtain that there is no quasi-isometric embedding of the real hyperbolic space H^n into the (n-1)-fold metric product of metric trees stabilized by any Euclidean factor.

description: This is the analysis code repository for the following study: Taylor, SD and Browning, DM, 2022. Classification of daily crop phenology in PhenoCams using deep learning and hidden markov modelss. bioRxiv. https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.10.20.465168 Note the initial version was titled "Deep learning models for identifying crop and field attributes from near surface cameras" and was changed during the review process. The original repo is also here: https://github.com/sdtaylor/PhenocamCNN2 See the readme.md file in the primary PhenocamCNN.zip for descriptions. PhenocamCNN.zip contains all code in the analysis, and data to reproduce the manuscript figures. The only thing not included is the fitted keras model file, vgg16_v4_20epochs.h5, which is available by itself since it's quite large. If you'd just like to use the final predictions of crop and field status you can download the final_predictions.zip file.
description: Version 2: a few analysis scripts were finalized. The manuscript was switched to a new latex template, had a new figure added, and some minor text changes. Version 3: title updated.
Balanced or unbalanced ''industrializing industries'' and the theory of the leading sectors: Algeria, 1967-1984
Creators: name: Lezzam, Larbi
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: After independence (1962), Algeria embarked on the building of a socialist economy by pursuing a "noncapitalist way" of development. The country followed a command economy through centralized planning and one-party rule. In 1967, the government launched an ambitious industrialization drive. The "industrializing industries" focused on the development of heavy industry at the expense of light industry and agriculture. The study encompasses a theoretical inquiry as well as an empirical analysis of balanced and unbalanced growth strategies. It was assumed that Algeria followed an unbalanced growth strategy. The study tries to substantiate this claim through empirical analysis by developing indexes of imbalance reflecting sectoral dispersions. These indexes are weighted with their sectoral relative share as well as with their sectoral income elasticity of demand. The study tests the relationship between the indexes of imbalance, GDP growth rates, and Per Capita GNP. The results reveal positive and statistically significant correlation coefficients. These results confirm the claim that Algeria followed an unbalanced growth strategy. The analysis reveals that this strategy promotes a high level of Per Capita GNP. The study presents an analytical assessment of the growth-inducing linkage mechanism that took place in the Algerian economy. The "industrializing industries" were expected to trigger higher backward and forward linkages. The latter are derived using interindustrial tables. The study derives the Leontief inverse for the Algerian economy for the years 1983, 1979, and 1974. The study shows that the sectors targeted during the industrialization drive scored high backward linkages. The study also sheds light on GNP growth rates and structural changes that affected the economy.
