description: We stabilize a prescribed cycle or an equilibrium of the difference equation using pulsed stochastic control. Our technique, inspired by the Kolmogorov's Law of Large Numbers, activates a stabilizing effect of stochastic perturbation and allows for stabilization using a much wider range for the control parameter than would be possible in the absence of noise. Our main general result applies to both Prediction-Based and Target-Oriented Controls. This analysis is the first to make use of the stabilizing effects of noise for Prediction-Based Control; the stochastic version has been examined in the literature, but only the destabilizing effect of noise was demonstrated. A stochastic variant of Target-Oriented Control has never been considered, to the best of our knowledge, and we propose a specific form that uses a point equilibrium or one point on a cycle as a target. We demonstrate our results numerically on the logistic, Ricker and Maynard Smith models from population biology.

description: The purpose of this study was to gain information regarding the perceptions of students enrolled in online-blended courses, specifically those geared towards successful completion of the Maryland High School Assessment. The study utilized a descriptive approach and employed a researcher-designed survey instrument to gather data. Information and perceptions related to rigor, interaction, general satisfaction with instruction, were of greatest influence while conducting research. The APEX offering that relies heavily on the ‘online’ portion of ‘online-blended’ models is clearly something that is appealing to today’s high school student. The coursework, though limited in opportunities for peer and instructor interaction, provides a format that speaks to the needs and preferences of a group of learners that are clearly some of our most at-risk. This at-risk population is meeting with marked success while pursuing graduation via this vehicle. Perceptions were very one-sided; clearly students have an affinity for offerings that allow them to demonstrate prior knowledge in order to save time, demonstrate learning using technology, and interact as they choose with their peers and instructors.

description: We study networks representing the dynamics of elementary 1-d cellular automata (CA) on finite lattices. We analyze scaling behaviors of both local and global network properties as a function of system size. The scaling of the largest node in-degree is obtained analytically for a variety of CA including rules 22, 54 and 110. We further define the \emph{path diversity} as a global network measure. The co-appearance of non-trivial scaling in both hub size and path diversity separates simple dynamics from the more complex behaviors typically found in Wolfram's Class IV and some Class III CA.

Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The main purpose of this quasi-experimental design study was to determine the effect of a fitness
consequence as a measure of accountability on the academic appointment attendance rates of
Division III college athletes. Forty-four Division III college athletes participated in the study
which spanned over a twelve week period. The null hypothesis is that there will be no significant
difference in unexcused academic appointment attendance units missed during the six-week
baseline period in which there are no consequences for missing appointments and during the sixweek
intervention period in which there were fitness consequences for missing academic
appointments. The six-week baseline phase did not contain any consequence for a missed
academic appointment. The six-week period following the intervention being implemented
included the student athletes facing a fitness consequence for missing an academic appointment.
Initial analysis for this study did not yield any significant results however a supplementary
analysis conducted with only student athletes who had missed one or more academic
appointments during the baseline period resulted in significant outcomes. Further research should
be conducted to explore how various intervention methods can be used most effectively to
improve the academic appointment attendance rates of Division III college athletes.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact on seventh grade students with decoding deficits who participated in novel-based literature circles on a reading comprehension assessment as compared to a similar control group. The post-test was researcher-designed utilizing seventh grade middle school language arts standards in reading comprehension. The test was based on reading selections separate from the novel used in the literature circle. The literary circle group's (n = 10) mean score (Mean = 10.20, SD = 2.82) on the reading comprehension test did not differ significantly from the control group's (n = 10) mean score (Mean = 8.40, SD = 1.84) [t(18) = 1.69, p = .11]. Although the study did not provide statistical evidence of the value of literature circles, there were limitations to the study. In addition, researcher observations indicated that literature circles can be a valuable component to reading instruction. Further research in this area should explore whether literature circles can improve reading comprehension when incorporated with more explicit reading comprehension instruction.
Nonadiabatic kinetics in the intermediate coupling regime: comparing molecular dynamics to an energy grained master equation

description: Here we outline and test an extension of the energy grained master equation (EGME) for treating nonadiabatic (NA) hopping between different potential energy surfaces, which enables us to model the competition between stepwise collisional relaxation and kinetic processes which transfer population between different potential energy surfaces of the same spin symmetry. By incorporating Zhu-Nakamura theory into the EGME, we are able to treat nonadiabatic passages beyond the simple Landau-Zener approximation, along with corresponding treatments of zero-point energy and tunnelling probability. To evaluate this NA-EGME approach, we carried out detailed studies of the UV photodynamics of the volatile organic compound C6-hydroperoxyaldehyde (C6-HPALD) using on-the-fly ab initio molecular dynamics and trajectory surface hopping. For this multi-chromophore molecule, we show that the EGME is able to quantitatively capture important aspects of the dynamics, including kinetic timescales, and diabatic trapping. Such an approach provides a promising and efficient strategy for treating the long-time dynamics of photo-excited molecules in regimes which are difficult to capture using atomistic on-the-fly molecular dynamics.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether third grade students identified as gifted or highly able would have higher levels of achievement on unit tests in mathematics if they were instructed in small groups as opposed to receiving instruction as a whole class. To determine which approach resulted in higher levels of achievement, gain scores on assessments of unit content offered in small groups and in a whole group setting were compared. Students’ feelings about the content of the unit and its delivery using the two instructional conditions were assessed using a survey at the end of each unit and at the conclusion of the study. Results indicated that achievement gains were higher for the unit in which students were instructed in small groups. There was no significant difference in perceptions about the units or their content delivery through whole class versus small group instruction. While results suggested that small group instruction had benefits in terms of achievement, additional research controlling for factors which might affect the achievement outcomes and students’ perceptions, such as time of year and subject matter, appears to be warranted.

description: Gallium selenide (GaSe) is one of layered group-III metal monochalcogenides, which has an indirect bandgap in monolayer and direct bandgap in bulk unlike other conventional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as MoX2 and WX2 (X=S and Se). Four polytypes of bulk GaSe, designated as beta-, epsilon-, gamma-, and delta-GaSe, have been reported. Since different polytypes result in different optical and electrical properties even for the same thickness, identifying the polytype is essential in utilizing this material for various optoelectronic applications. We performed polarized Raman measurement on GaSe and found different ultra-low-frequency Raman spectra of inter-layer vibrational modes even for the same thickness due to different stacking sequences of the polytypes. By comparing the ultra-low-frequency Raman spectra with theoretical calculations and high-resolution electron microscopy measurements, we established the correlation between the ultra-low-frequency Raman spectra and the stacking sequences for trilayer GaSe. We further found that the AB-type stacking is more stable than the AA'-type stacking in GaSe.

description: Quantum computation can proceed solely through single-qubit measurements on an appropriate quantum state, such as the ground state of an interacting many-body system. We investigate a simple spin-lattice system based on the cluster-state model, and by using nonlocal correlation functions that quantify the fidelity of quantum gates performed between distant qubits, we demonstrate that it possesses a quantum (zero-temperature) phase transition between a disordered phase and an ordered "cluster phase" in which it is possible to perform a universal set of quantum gates.

description: We study possible geometries and R-symmetry breaking patterns that lead to globally BPS surface operators in the six dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ theory. We find four main classes of solutions in different subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^6$ and a multitude of subclasses and specific examples. We prove that these constructions lead to supersymmety preserving observables and count the number of preserved supercharges. We discuss the underlying geometry, calculate their anomalies and present analogous structures for the holographic dual M2-branes in $AdS_7\times S^4$. We also comment on the dimensional reduction of these observables to line and surface operators in 4d and 5d theories. This rich spectrum of operators are proposed as the simplest and most natural observables of this mysterious theory.

description: The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of team bonding activities upon the
perceptions of cohesion among members of a collegiate women’s soccer team and upon the
performance of the team. After each of several activities, team members were asked to complete
a survey of attitude towards their personal performance and towards the efforts of their fellow
team members. A single group pre-test posttest design was used to compare responses to the
survey before and after the activities occurred. The null hypothesis that perceptions of cohesion
will not increase following activities designed to improve bonding was not supported. However,
there was some evidence that players’ satisfaction with their own performance and with the team
increased slightly as team building activities were implemented. Additional study of the impact
of bonding activities upon team performance is recommended.

description: Given an $n\times n$ matrix $c$ over a unitary ring $R$, the centralizer of $c$ in the full $n\times n$ matrix ring $M_n(R)$ is called a principal centralizer matrix ring, denoted by $S_n(c,R)$. We investigate its structure and prove: $(1)$ If $c$ is an invertible matrix with a $c$-free point, or if $R$ has no zero-divisors and $c$ is a Jordan-similar matrix with all eigenvalues in the center of $R$, then $M_n(R)$ is a separable Frobenius extension of $S_{n}(c,R)$ in the sense of Kasch. $(2)$ If $R$ is an integral domain and $c$ is a Jordan-similar matrix, then $S_n(c,R)$ is a cellular $R$-algebra in the sense of Graham and Lehrer. In particular, if $R$ is an algebraically closed field and $c$ is an arbitrary matrix in $M_n(R)$, then $S_n(c,R)$ is always a cellular algebra, and the extension $S_n(c,R)\subseteq M_n(R)$ is always a separable Frobenius extension.

Measuring staff outcomes following reorganization: participation in decision making, autonomy, and job satisfaction
Creators: name: Hughes, Linda Rea
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This longitudinal descriptive study was designed to evaluate staff outcomes at one hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia as a result of implementing an organizational model designed to enhance staff participation in decision making (PDM). The specific outcomes of interest were staff perceptions regarding PDM, autonomy, and job satisfaction. The purposes of the investigation were to explore the impact over time on the three variables, to examine the interrelationships among the variables, and to assess the effects of selected demographic characteristics on staff perceptions regarding the variables. A convenience sample of approximately 150 nursing staff completed a questionnaire at three distinct time periods: one year, two years, and three and one-half years after the initial implementation. Over the three-year period, the means for the three variables did not change significantly. Nurse managers experienced greater autonomy than did staff and were the group most vulnerable to organizational change. The interrelationships among the three variables were positive, but the strength of the relationships was inconsistent. The relationship between PDM and job satisfaction was moderately strong and comparable to that identified by other researchers. Autonomy and job satisfaction were positively, but weakly, correlated as were PDM and autonomy. The effects of demographic characteristics on the three variables are inconsistent and variable. Employment position, years experience and type of shift affected PDM, while employment position and type of shift affected autonomy. Employment position was the only nurse characteristic that significantly affected job satisfaction. The findings of this study do not support the popular notion that a participative organizational model will automatically increase PDM, autonomy, or job satisfaction. Such effects seem to require a change in more than structure. The study hospital did not implement any initiatives other than structural change and did not successfully increase staff perceptions regarding PDM, autonomy, and job satisfaction. The implication of the findings for nursing administration, and social and health policy and further research are discussed.

description: We investigate the impact induced damage and fracture of a bar shaped specimen of heterogeneous materials focusing on how the system approaches perforation as the impact energy is gradually increased. A simple model is constructed which represents the bar as two rigid blocks coupled by a breakable interface with disordered local strength. The bar is clamped at the two ends and the fracture process is initiated by an impactor hitting the bar in the middle. Our calculations revealed that depending on the imparted energy, the system has two phases: at low impact energies the bar suffers damage but keeps its integrity, while at sufficiently high energies, complete perforation occurs. We demonstrate that the transition from damage to perforation occurs analogous to continuous phase transitions. Approaching the critical point from below, the intact fraction of the interface goes to zero, while the deformation rate of the bar diverges according to power laws as function of the distance from the critical energy. As the degree of disorder increases, further from the transition point the critical exponents agree with their zero disorder counterparts, however, close to the critical point a crossover occurs to a higher exponent.

description: In this article, we summarize two agnostic approaches in the framework of spatially curved Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmologies discussed in detail in (Kerachian et al., 2020, 2019). The first case concerns the dynamics of a fluid with an unspecified barotropic equation of state (EoS), for which the only assumption made is the non-negativity of the fluid's energy density. The second case concerns the dynamics of a non-minimally coupled real scalar field with unspecified positive potential. For each of these models, we define a new set of dimensionless variables and a new evolution parameter. In the framework of these agnostic setups, we are able to identify several general features, like symmetries, invariant subsets and critical points, and provide their cosmological interpretation.

description: The honeycomb lattice of graphene is a unique two-dimensional (2D) system where the quantum mechanics of electrons is equivalent to that of relativistic Dirac fermions. Novel nanometer-scale behavior in this material, including electronic scattering, spin-based phenomena, and collective excitations, is predicted to be sensitive to charge carrier density. In order to probe local, carrier-density dependent properties in graphene we have performed atomically-resolved scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements on mechanically cleaved graphene flake devices equipped with tunable back-gate electrodes. We observe an unexpected gap-like feature in the graphene tunneling spectrum which remains pinned to the Fermi level (E_F) regardless of graphene electron density. This gap is found to arise from a suppression of electronic tunneling to graphene states near E_F and a simultaneous giant enhancement of electronic tunneling at higher energies due to a phonon-mediated inelastic channel. Phonons thus act as a "floodgate" that controls the flow of tunneling electrons in graphene. This work reveals important new tunneling processes in gate-tunable graphitic layers.

Here we present the 24 micron light curve of this system, obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope. It shows a clear variation in phase with the orbital motion of the innermost planet. This is the first demonstration that such planets possess distinct hot substellar (day) and cold antistellar (night) faces.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Thinking Map instruction and the opportunities for students to use Thinking Maps would have a significant effect on the written responses to informational/explanatory writing prompts of three fifth graders with Specific Learning Disabilities. Explicit Thinking Map instruction was provided, along with instruction on analyzing writing prompts and paragraph development. A ten-point writing rubric was used to measure students’ use of one or more Thinking Maps and the inclusion of specific paragraph components (an introduction, body, linking words, and conclusion) for each writing sample. Writing rubric scores were collected from writing samples given before, during, and after instruction using a pre-test/post-test design. Results indicated slight increases in total writing scores, but no significant differences were attributed to the use of Thinking Maps.

description: 3D medical image processing with deep learning greatly suffers from a lack of data. Thus, studies carried out in this field are limited compared to works related to 2D natural image analysis, where very large datasets exist. As a result, powerful and efficient 2D convolutional neural networks have been developed and trained. In this paper, we investigate a way to transfer the performance of a two-dimensional classiffication network for the purpose of three-dimensional semantic segmentation of brain tumors. We propose an asymmetric U-Net network by incorporating the EfficientNet model as part of the encoding branch. As the input data is in 3D, the first layers of the encoder are devoted to the reduction of the third dimension in order to fit the input of the EfficientNet network. Experimental results on validation and test data from the BraTS 2020 challenge demonstrate that the proposed method achieve promising performance.

title: Young People, Regulation and Risk: A Case Study of the Mosquito Teenage Deterrent (MTD) in the UK
Creators: name: Maher, J
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: The development and marketing of the Mosquito Teenage Deterrent (MTD) emerged during a period where young people as a social group have been subject to various regulatory processes and systems that are both formal and passive. In this thesis, the MTD has been used as a case study to investigate how different stakeholder groups have approached this technology and how the development and distribution of the MTD within the UK has been affected by discourses of regulation and risk, policy and practice. Despite the intentions of opposition groups to invoke legal challenges to the use of the MTD on the grounds that it breaches the human rights of children and young people, this has not happened. In fact the use of MTDs is less than anticipated and public authority demand for the devices (as well as all sales) started to decline from 2007. The analysis conducted in this thesis demonstrates that regulation was manifested in multiple and connected ways, by law and through constructions of risk, and that this was largely influenced by the dominant social construction of young people held by the public authorities. Children and young people are shown to be regularly viewed as a group that was potentially dangerous and therefore needing to be regulated, but also a group that was potentially vulnerable and needing regulation. The thesis elucidates that the MTD was being used to control children and young people’s access to space by acting as a temporary intervention until permanent measures can be put in place.

description: The use of statistical modeling in baseball has received substantial attention recently in both the media and academic community. We focus on a relatively under-explored topic: the use of statistical models for the analysis of fielding based on high-resolution data consisting of on-field location of batted balls. We combine spatial modeling with a hierarchical Bayesian structure in order to evaluate the performance of individual fielders while sharing information between fielders at each position. We present results across four seasons of MLB data (2002--2005) and compare our approach to other fielding evaluation procedures.

description: Conventionally, classical scholarship has ascribed the inception of philosophy and culture to the Greeks, whilst relegating military strategy and imperialism to the Romans. This tradition dates back to Vergil's famous comment in Book 6 of the Aeneid, that others (Greeks) will create beautiful statuary, plead eloquently in the law courts and chart the skies and constellations; whereas the Romans' job will be to rule over others with their imperium. This tendency to oversimplify the differences between Greeks and Romans appears to be changing; however, the changes are tinged with a distinct Grecocentric bias. Roman culture, to date, is not being scrutinised with the same perspicacity, as that of the Greeks, and current research that challenges the traditional prejudices of conventional opinions are effectively absent. This thesis examines the unique aspects of Roman culture and identity and demonstrates that they too developed a highly defined world-view that was richly distinct from Greek conceptions of their oikumene. This distinction is perhaps most obvious in Roman stereotypes of the 'other'. Complex and thoroughly Roman, it was based on principals of cosmological determinism and guided by a potent form of exceptionalism and manifest destiny. Romans harnessed theo-philosophical arguments, to design a world in which their hegemony was efficiently rationalised by the elite and justified by the gods themselves. As part of this examination, the cultural precursors, Italic and otherwise, are scrutinised, as are indigenous ethnic markers of Roman identity, so as to better ascertain distinctly Roman and borrowed beliefs that came to characterise the Late Republican and Early Imperial Roman habitus. Furthermore, Roman religious beliefs are also examined where they relate to Roman views of the cosmos and their place within the relational meta-narrative of divinely mandated human history. Within this scope, Roman notions of cosmological determinism and details regarding their specific role in the formation of unique ethnic stereotypes is analysed. Moreover, the impact of these stereotypes on Roman attitudes and policies - particularly foreign policy - will be discussed in detail. This detail will extend to include the previously mentioned notions of Roman exceptionalism and manifest destiny and will be done so in a comparative context by utilising the political discourse and definitions related to the heuristic models of American exceptionalism and manifest destiny.
Phase diagram of a strongly interacting polarized Fermi gas in one dimension

description: Based on the integrable Gaudin model and local density approximation, we discuss the phase structure of one-dimensional trapped Fermi gases with imbalanced spin populations for arbitrary attractive interactions. A phase separation state, with a polarized superfluid core immersed in an unpolarized superfluid shell, emerges below a critical spin polarization. Above it, a coexistence of polarized superfluid matter and a fully polarized normal gas is favored. These two exotic states could be realized experimentally in highly elongated atomic traps, and diagnosed by measuring the lowest density compressional mode. We identify the polarized superfluid as having an FFLO structure, and predict the resulting mode frequency as a function of the spin polarization.

description: A defining feature of many large empirical networks is their intrinsic complexity. However, many networks also contain a large degree of structural repetition. An immediate question then arises: can we characterize essential network complexity while excluding structural redundancy? In this article we utilize inherent network symmetry to collapse all redundant information from a network, resulting in a coarse-graining which we show to carry the essential structural information of the `parent' network. In the context of algebraic combinatorics, this coarse-graining is known as the \emph{quotient}. We systematically explore the theoretical properties of network quotients and summarize key statistics of a variety of `real-world' quotients with respect to those of their parent networks. In particular, we find that quotients can be substantially smaller than their parent networks yet typically preserve various key functional properties such as complexity (heterogeneity and hubs vertices) and communication (diameter and mean geodesic distance), suggesting that quotients constitute the essential structural skeleton of their parent network. We summarize with a discussion of potential uses of quotients in analysis of biological regulatory networks and ways in which using quotients can reduce the computational complexity of network algorithms.

description: We study diagonal representatives of boundary condition matrices on the orbifolds $S^1/Z_2$ and $T^2/Z_m$ ($m=2, 3, 4, 6$). We give an alternative proof of the existence of diagonal representatives in each equivalent class of boundary condition matrices on $S^1/Z_2$, using a matrix exponential representation, and show that they do not necessarily exist on $T^2/Z_2$, $T^2/Z_3$, and $T^2/Z_4$. Each equivalence class on $T^2/Z_6$ has a diagonal representative, because its boundary conditions are determined by a single unitary matrix.

Robustness and modular design of the Drosophila segment polarity network

description: Biomolecular networks have to perform their functions robustly. A robust function may have preferences in the topological structures of the underlying network. We carried out an exhaustive computational analysis on network topologies in relation to a patterning function in Drosophila embryogenesis. We found that while the vast majority of topologies can either not perform the required function or only do so very fragilely, a small fraction of topologies emerges as particularly robust for the function. The topology adopted by Drosophila, that of the segment polarity network, is a top ranking one among all topologies with no direct autoregulation. Furthermore, we found that all robust topologies are modular--each being a combination of three kinds of modules. These modules can be traced back to three sub-functions of the patterning function and their combinations provide a combinatorial variability for the robust topologies. Our results suggest that the requirement of functional robustness drastically reduces the choices of viable topology to a limited set of modular combinations among which nature optimizes its choice under evolutionary and other biological constraints.

Security Analysis of PUF-based Key Generation and Entity Authentication
Creators: name: Delvaux, Jeroen
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: No two physical objects are exactly the same, even when manufactured with a nominally identical process. For example, two sheets of paper that are indistinguishable with the naked eye, still differ considerably in their nanoscale fiber structures. Although manufacturing variability is usually undesired, the associated ability to uniquely identify a physical object, which is constrained to an integrated circuit (IC) in this thesis, can be leveraged for security purposes. To facilitate the registration of unique features, a so-called physically unclonable function (PUF) can be implemented on the IC. A PUF circuit is designed to be sensitive to process variations, i.e., challenged with a binary input, it provides a binary, device-unique response. This building block can hence be understood as the silicon equivalent of human biometrics. PUFs can augment the security architecture of an ever-increasing number of electronic devices that access our personal data and/or represent our identities. This includes but is not limited to smartphones, credit cards, access badges, the sensors and actuators of automated home, and medical implants. PUFs usually need to team up with other building blocks, e.g., true random number generators (TRNGs), cryptographic algorithms, error-correcting codes, non-volatile memory (NVM), etc. We analyze the security of such multi-component systems in a format that allows for comparisons among proposals that have similar or identical objectives. Numerous newly revealed flaws and attacks are presented throughout this thesis. On the bright side, the lessons learned can help improve the quality of future PUF-based systems.

description: In this paper we deduce the sketch of proof of the Duistermaat-Heckman formula and investigate how the known Duistermaat-Heckman result could be specialized to the symplectic structure on the orbit space. The theorems of localization in equivariant cohomology not only provide us with beautiful mathematical formulas and stimulate achievements in algorithmic computations, but also promote progress in theoretical and mathematical physics. We present the elliptic genera and the characteristic $q$-series for the circle actions and twisted equivariant K-theory, with the case of the symmetric group of $n$ symbols separately analyzed. We show that the Poincaré $q$-polynomials admit presentation in terms of the Patterson-Selberg (or the Ruelle-type) spectral functions.
