description: We study particle current in a recently proposed model for coherent quantum transport. In this model a system connected to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs (meso-reservoir) is driven out of equilibrium by the action of super reservoirs thermalized to prescribed temperatures and chemical potentials by a simple dissipative mechanism described by the Lindblad equation. We compare exact (numerical) results with theoretical expectations based on the Landauer formula

description: Studying design creativity and innovation from practical perspectives for companies requires both a good understanding of the company ecosystem and its inner processes contributing to delivered innovations and a rigorous design research methodology to provide effective design models, methods, platforms that are truly effective in the context of company. Working in an Industrial Engineering laboratory, we advocate a more systemic vision of design creativity and innovation in company ecosystems. We present in this paper an attempt to develop and make professional an innovation engineering. Our research works are illustrated along the different research topics of an innovation process. We start by a recent survey on innovation practice and organizational models led in 28 large companies. The lessons learned about this survey reinforce our belief that there is a need for a new method in agile management of radical innovation projects in company contexts. We currently develop, test and apply such a methodology named: Radical Innovation Design(RID). Its effectiveness has been evaluated through a large scale evaluation of the project outcomes for the company. Two extensions of RID have been proposed and deployed in company contexts: a selection procedure for innovation clusters and a value-driven process for airplane development projects.
Superconducting and Pseudogap effects on the interplane conductivity and Raman scattering cross section in the two dimensional Hubbard Model

description: Cluster dynamical mean field methods are used to calculate the superconductivity-induced changes in the interplane conductivity and Raman scattering cross section of the two dimensional Hubbard model. When superconductivity emerges from the pseudogap, the superconducting response is found to be diminished in amplitude, broadened and, in the case of the interplane conductivity, shifted to higher frequency. The results are in agreement with data on high temperature copper-oxide superconductors indicating that the Hubbard model contains the essential low energy physics of the pseudogap and its interplay with superconductivity in the cuprates.

description: The determination of weight distribution of cyclic codes involves evaluation of Gauss sums and exponential sums. Despite of some cases where a neat expression is available, the computation is generally rather complicated. In this note, we determine the weight distribution of a class of reducible cyclic codes whose dual codes may have arbitrarily many zeros. This goal is achieved by building an unexpected connection between the corresponding exponential sums and the spectrums of Hermitian forms graphs.

description: Nutrition is one of the main topics of the society in general. In modern times, it became even more important due to increased rate of metabolic disorders, such as obesity, diabetes type 2, and cardiovascular diseases. There are various possible causes to these disorders, however the great proportion is a consequence of bad dietary habits (e.g., overeating, poor quality diet) and lack of physical activity. To stop this trend, some prevention measures can be taken such as wide screening of the population and personalized dietary approach. In this work, we performed large-scale validation of the portable and affordable mass spectrometer for food impact assessment from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath. Validation was done as a pilot study among 6 different population groups: people with overweightness, people with obesity, people with diabetes type II, people with cardiovascular disease, people with poor quality diet and professional athletes. More than 150 participants were recruited from 5 European countries – UK, Greece, Germany, Belgium, and Portugal with informed consents and ethical approvals. Food impact was assessed by monitoring the concentrations of several VOCs (acetone, ethanol, isoprene, and n-pentane) related to macronutrients metabolism in exhaled breath samples. The analysis was done using the newly developed membrane inlet mass spectrometer (MIMS). Concentration levels for selected breath VOCs were determined in samples collected before the meal and after the meal. The experimental data was compared against the data acquired via the questionnaire to discover possible relationships between VOCs concentration levels and meal consumption trends among specific population groups. The results will be incorporated into the mobile application for personalized nutrition and analyzed by the experts.

description: We have produced mosaics of the Great Red Spot (GRS) using images taken by the Galileo spacecraft in May 2000, and have measured the winds of the GRS using an automated algorithm that does not require manual cloud tracking. Our technique yields a high-density, regular grid of wind velocity vectors that is advantageous over a limited number of scattered wind vectors that result from manual cloud tracking. The high-velocity collar of the GRS is clearly seen from our velocity vector map, and highest wind velocities are measured to be around 170 m/s. The high resolution of the mosaics have also enabled us to map turbulent eddies inside the chaotic central region of the GRS, similar to those mapped by Sada et al. (1996) and Vasavada et al. (1998). Using the wind velocity measurements, we computed particle trajectories around the GRS as well as maps of relative and absolute vorticities. We have discovered a narrow ring of cyclonic vorticity that surrounds the main anti-cyclonic high-velocity collar. This narrow ring appears to correspond to a ring surrounding the GRS that is bright in 5-microns (Terrile and Beebe 1979). It appears that this cyclonic ring is not a transient feature of the GRS, as we have discovered it in a re-analysis of Galileo data taken in 1996 first analyzed by Vasavada et al. (1998). We also calculate how absolute vorticity changes as a function of latitude along a trajectory around the GRS and compare these measurements to similar ones performed by Dowling and Ingersoll (1988) using Voyager data. We show no dramatic evolution in the structure of the GRS since the Voyager era except for additional evidence for a counterrotating GRS core, an increase in velocity in the main velocity collar, and an overall decrease in the length of the GRS.

description: In response to widespread criticism for rampant misinformation on their platform, in 2018 Facebook created an online ‘Ad Library’ intended to serve as a meaningful mechanism of transparency to the public. However, in reality, there have been a number of issues and criticisms with the Ad Library that undercut its ability to truly be an effective tool of accountability and transparency. One such issue is that some political ads are able to slip through Facebook’s automated filters without the required disclosure that details who paid for the ad. This project aims to investigate what kinds of political ads tend to slip through Facebook’s automated filters. Specifically, this paper explores why some undisclosed political ads garner a greater number of impressions than others, with a focus on the impact of the political-leaning and sentiment of the ad. Ultimately, I find that undisclosed political ads that take a strong political stance and utilize rhetoric that evokes a negative sentiment seem to be relatively successful at garnering more impressions than non-political, positive-sentiment ads.

Measuring predation pressure on butterfly populations

description: Predation pressure selectively shapes the evolution of anti-predatory traits. Understanding predation pressure within the butterfly-bird system is difficult as direct predation is rare to observe. Different methods are therefore often utilized to measure predation pressure on butterflies. We tested the appropriateness of four such methods. We compared actual butterfly wing damage, butterfly clay-model damage, and predator diversity and density. Butterflies were sampled to determine the wing damage rates by birds. Butterfly model deployments and surveys were carried out to assess the model damage rates by birds. Bird surveys were conducted to assess predator diversity and density. Wing damage was closely related to both bird diversity and density while model attacks did not show such a close relationship to either bird diversity or density. Thus, the actual wing damage, together with bird surveys is an appropriate and logistically achievable method to estimate predation pressure on butterflies. We also investigated the variation in wing area damage by birds within butterfly families. We found that butterfly hindwings were damaged more than forewings, but wing area damage was independent of butterfly body size. These data can provide additional information about the predation interaction between butterflies and birds.
Terrestrial Planet Formation During the Migration and Resonance Crossings of the Giant Planets

description: The newly formed giant planets may have migrated and crossed a number of mutual mean motion resonances (MMRs) when smaller objects (embryos) were accreting to form the terrestrial planets. We investigated the effects of the planetesimal-driven migration of Jupiter and Saturn, and the influence of their mutual 1:2 MMR crossing on terrestrial planet formation for the first time, by performing N-body simulations. These simulations considered distinct timescales of MMR crossing and planet migration. In total, 68 high-resolution simulation runs using 2000 disk planetesimals were performed, which was a significant improvement on previously published results. Even when the effects of the 1:2 MMR crossing and planet migration were included in the system, Venus and Earth analogs (considering both orbits and masses) successfully formed in several runs. In addition, we found that the orbits of planetesimals beyond a ~1.5-2 AU were dynamically depleted by the strengthened sweeping secular resonances associated with Jupiter's and Saturn's more eccentric orbits (relative to present-day) during planet migration. However, this depletion did not prevent the formation of massive Mars analogs (planets with more than 1.5 times Mars' mass). Although late MMR crossings (at t > 30 Myr) could remove such planets, Mars-like small mass planets survived on overly excited orbits (high e and/or i), or were completely lost in these systems. We conclude that the orbital migration and crossing of the mutual 1:2 MMR of Jupiter and Saturn are unlikely to provide suitable orbital conditions for the formation of solar system terrestrial planets. This suggests that to explain Mars' small mass and the absence of other planets between Mars and Jupiter, the outer asteroid belt must have suffered a severe depletion due to interactions with Jupiter/Saturn, or by an alternative mechanism (e.g., rogue super-Earths).

Understanding Parler: Exploring the Evolution of an Unmoderated Platform and the Effect of Deplatforming on Extremist Communities

description: Extremist and violent content on social media poses an existential threat to the fabric of our democracy. Social media has democratized information dissemination, enabling a single message to reach millions of individuals in an instant. Individualized news feeds contribute to growing polarization, delegitimizing verified sources of news, and threatening fundamental democratic processes. Yet not all social media platforms propagate such harmful information in the same way.
Parler, a social media platform, differentiates itself from others due to its lack of content moderation. Drawing a base of right-wing users, Parler rose to national prominence throughout 2020, boasting nearly 20 million users by December 2020. Parler’s success reflected a dangerous and growing trend of unease with Trump’s loss. The platform was partially blamed for the insurrection on January 6th and was taken offline shortly after by Amazon Web Services, with Google and Apple removing it from app stores. Parler represents a unique case study of a harmful online community growing at a rapid pace. In addition, Parler’s deplatforming sparked a national debate concerning best practices to ameliorate the hate extremist groups spread while simultaneously protecting free speech. Investigating both the evolution of Parler and the effectiveness of its deplatforming allows for important insights into this radical community and the connection between social media and democracy at large.
QAnon, a dangerous and hateful conspiracy theory, was able to grow exponentially on Parler. This content found a home on Parler and skyrocketed in popularity as more users flowed to the platform. Parler has provided a home for radical and hateful rhetoric, allowing for content banned on other platforms. As more and more users joined Parler, the content reflects rising hatred and violence. Studying Parler’s evolution makes it inextricably clear that it is inherently linked with Trump. Trump remains popular on the platform throughout its lifespan, heavily influencing the content and rhetoric.
Deplatforming as a potential solution to limiting the power of radical communities is an intricate balance. While deplatforming succeeded in reducing the number of users and the volume of content on the platform, core users with a greater number of posts returned in higher numbers. While hosting services may have succeeded in reducing the general appeal of Parler, dedicated right-wing users were not dissuaded and returned to regularly post. Web hosting services hold tremendous power in the arena of controlling hate. In order to properly exercise this power, they must proceed with caution and a principled approach.

description: Целью наших исследований явилось изучение влияния повышенной температуры окружающей среды на клинико-метаболические проявления теплового стресса у сухостойных и новотельных коров. Объект исследования – крупный рогатый скот. Для исследования было отобрано 3 группы по 10 животных в каждой. В 1-ю группу вошли коровы раннего сухостойного периода, во 2-ю – позднего, в 3-ю – новотельные. Исследования проводили в летний период. Установлено, что в условиях теплового стресса в составе красной крови у животных не было выявлено статистически значимых отличий, а показатели белой крови имели ряд отклонений – снижение абсолютного количества лимфоцитов и смещение показателей лейкоцитарной формулы. Оценка гематологических индексов ЛИИр и ИСЛК свидетельствовала об отсутствии воспалительного процесса и интоксикации у всех обследованных животных. По результатам ЛИ у коров сухостойного периода соотношение гуморального и клеточного звеньев иммунитета имело сбалансированный характер, а у новотельных наблюдался дисбаланс. Метаболические изменения отражали дефицит субстратов основного обмена на фоне общего снижения потребления корма, которые были наиболее выражены у коров новотельного периода и позднего сухостоя, – достоверное снижение показателей белкового, липидного и углеводного обмена. Таким образом, тепловой стресс приводит к изменениям клинико-метаболического статуса у высокопродуктивных коров.

description: The clinical benefits of public health interventions, like COVID-19 vaccines, are largely 
documented and understood, but little evidence is available to inform the human behavioral and 
economic impacts of these interventions. This analysis utilizes anonymized cellphone and 
publicly available COVID-19 data to quantify the impact of COVID-19 health interventions on 
geographic mobility in New York City. Mobility is defined as visit and foot traffic totals, 
captured through cellphone pings to business and retail locations, aggregated into weekly totals, 
from May 2019 – December 2021. The percent change in mobility between time intervals of 
interest and a linear regression model inform the results of this analysis. The key findings 
suggest that geographic mobility in New York City remains below pre-pandemic levels. In 
addition, COVID-19 vaccines do not appear to have a significant impact in increasing 
geographic mobility. However, the conclusive impact of COVID-19 vaccines on geographic 
mobility cannot be quantified through this analysis alone. Additional analyses should be 
conducted to identify alternate factors influencing geographic mobility. These results and 
conclusions discussed can provide a new perspective for policymakers and public health officials 
to evaluate the non-clinical impacts of public health interventions.
Lagrangian Formulation of Stochastic Inflation: A Recursive Approach

description: We present a new, recursive approach to stochastic inflation which is self-consistent and solves multiple problems which plagued a certain number of previous studies, in particular in realistic contexts where the background spacetime is taken to be dynamical, where there is more than one field present, especially with a mass hierarchy, or where the role played by back-reaction is suspected to be important. We first review the formalism of stochastic inflation as it is usually heuristically presented, that is, deriving the Langevin equations from the field equations of motion, and summarize previous results on the subject. We demonstrate where inconsistent approximations to the Langevin equations are commonly made, and show how these can be avoided. This set up shares many similarities with quantum Brownian motion and out-of-equilibrium statistical quantum dynamics. We hence review how path integral techniques can be applied to the stochastic inflationary context. We show this formalism to be consistent with the standard approach, develop a natural perturbative expansion, and use it to calculate the one-loop corrected Langevin equations.

description: Despite Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) being part of the Mexican pre-service teacher preparation since 2018, the outcome of such training, in terms of how pre-service teachers value and conceptualize SEL’s aims, has not been explored. This paper examines such outcomes, seeking which characteristics of pre-service teachers’ environmental and individual levels moderate their perspectives. By utilizing a qualitative approach, this paper reveals that Mexican elementary pre-service teachers conceptualize SEL as a tool to improve students’ self-awareness
and self-regulation competencies, as well as the high value they place on SEL in the Mexican elementary context. My analysis reveals that these perspectives are highly influenced by pre-service teachers’ environmental levels in terms of violence prevention and relational pedagogic lens; it also reveals how the individual level fosters the high value given to SEL by seeing the subject as a tool to impact students’ life beyond academics.

These results are obtained in a system of 2+1 quark flavors at physical quark masses and continuum extrapolated. We compare them to preliminary data on higher order moments of the net electric charge distribution from the STAR collaboration. This allows us to determine the freeze-out temperature and chemical potential from first principles. We also show continuum-extrapolated results for ratios of higher order fluctuations of baryon number. These will allow to test the consistency of the approach, by comparing them to the corresponding experimental data (once they become available) and thus extracting the freeze-out parameters in an independent way.

description: This work deals with analysis and maintenance of steady-state performance of model predictive controllers. The aim is to use information about input and output constraints of the ideal controller and of the controller actually applied by the operators – some of them are either loosened or tightened based on actual operating conditions. This can have impact on profitability of the process. The procedure is applied to a simplified model of controller implemented at production unit at SLOVNAFT, a.s. refinery. The studied controller processes the total of 47 manipulated, disturbance, and output variables. The analysis provides information on how to move the constraints of the controller to reach the optimal operating point. Python programming language is used to create the application with the graphical user interface that is actually used at the refinery.

Pursuing Credit: Sovereign Debtors’ Economic and Political Motivations to Oscillate in Creditor Selection
Creators: name: Baus Dávalos, José María
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2022
Subjects: Sovereign debt; sovereign debt default; Ecuador

description: In a decade and a half, three Presidential administrations in the Republic of Ecuador have led the country to oscillate three times in its selection of sovereign and private creditors. Beginning in 2007 with the election of President Rafael Correa, Ecuador foreclosed any possibility of borrowing from Western multilaterals and bond markets following a puzzling decision to default on bonds. Over the next ten years, Ecuador became one of the 30-most indebted countries to the People’s Republic of China. Then, when Correa’s successor President Lenín Moreno was elected in 2017, a process many described as a parricide marked a re-embrace of multilaterals, though the administration also continued to borrow heavily from China. Finally, in 2021, President Guillermo Lasso aligned himself, and therefore, the country, closer once more with multilaterals, and finally qualified Chinese lending to Ecuador as detrimental to the country’s growth. In this thesis, I seek to determine what a country’s guiding and principal motivations are when choosing with which creditor to engage. I examine each of these three Presidential administrations as distinct time periods in Ecuador’s history of sovereign borrowing, and seek to answer the aforementioned question through interviews with seven high-ranking officials in the Ecuadorian government or regional and international multilaterals. I also leverage qualitative analysis of public declarations, government decrees, and contracts. I find that, broadly, incentives to oscillate between creditors can be split into economic and political motivations. Each of these in turn can be subdivided further into considerations. These are availability of capital, cost of capital, ideological affinity, geopolitical considerations, and political and electoral benefits. I concluded that while these considerations vary in importance from one administration to the next, availability of capital and ideological affinity were central across all three administrations. I also highlight how creditor selection can be used to garner political and electoral benefits, particularly through the use of signaling mechanisms for voters. This is an element that escapes the literature and is a new contribution to the field.

description: Libraries at several academic marine research stations on the West Coast of North America hold large physical collections of undergraduate student research reports. These reports include unique field observations about environmental conditions, species and populations recorded over a span of nine decades. Each library collection is important within its local context, but taken collectively these papers represent an extremely valuable corpus for conducting historical ecology research. If the distributed physical collections could be digitized and accessed via a federated interface, researchers could make queries and conduct text analysis across thousands of papers. Unfortunately, there is no realistic or feasible way of attempting to contact thousands of student authors to request permission to make their work available online. In this presentation we will explore what other mechanisms exist or could be developed to make these collections maximally discoverable and useful. Is it possible to facilitate exploration and analysis across this corpus without providing direct access to the content? We will review some of the potential methods to support research across distributed, closed digital collections and share some results on proof-of-concept testing of our own collections.

description: The difference between the flow ellipticities of oppositely charged pions, Δv_2=v_2[π-]-v_2[π+], measured recently by STAR collaboration at RHIC shows a linear dependence on the event charge asymmetry A_+-={(N_+-N_-)/ (N_++N_-)}: Δv_2(A_+-)= Δv_2(0)+ r A_+- with a slope r>0 and a non-zero intercept Δv_2(0)>0 of order 10^{-4}. We point out two novel mechanisms which could explain the non-zero value of the charged elliptic flow Δv_2 at zero charge asymmetry A_+-=0, i.e., the non-zero positive intercept Δv_2(0). Both effects are due to the electric fields created by the colliding ions. These fields have quadrupole asymmetry of the magnitude and the sign needed to account for the nonzero intercept Δv_2(0) in the RHIC data. One of the mechanisms also involves chiral magnetic effect. This mechanism, although negligible at RHIC energies, may become important at LHC energies.

description: We present our results on meson and nucleon screening masses in finite temperature two flavour QCD using smeared staggered valence quarks and staggered thin-link sea quarks with different lattice spacings and quark masses. We investigate optimization of smearing by observing its effects on the infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) components of gluon and quark fields. The application of smearing to screening at finite temperature also provides a transparent window into the mechanism of the interplay of smearing and chiral symmetry. The improved hadronic operators show that above the finite temperature cross over, T_c, screening masses are consistent with weak-coupling predictions. There is also evidence for a rapid opening up of a spectral gap of the Dirac operator immediately above T_c.

description: There is increasing interest in applying neuroscience findings to topics in education. Purpose: This application requires a proper conceptualisation of the relation between cognition and brain function. This paper considers two such conceptualisations. The area focus understands each cognitive competency as the product of one (and only one) brain area. The network focus explains each cognitive competency as the product of collaborative processing among multiple brain areas. Sources of evidence: We first review neuroscience studies of mathematical reasoning-specifically arithmetic problem-solving and magnitude comparison-that exemplify the area focus and network focus. We then review neuroscience findings that illustrate the potential of the network focus for informing three topics in mathematics education: the development of mathematical reasoning, the effects of practice and instruction, and the derailment of mathematical reasoning in dyscalculia. Main argument: Although the area focus has historically dominated discussions in educational neuroscience, we argue that the network focus offers a complementary perspective on brain function that should not be ignored. Conclusions: We conclude by describing the current limitations of network-focus theorising and emerging neuroscience methods that promise to make such theorising more tractable in the future.

description: The holographic model for a two-dimensional superconductor has been investigated by considering the three-dimensional gravity in the bulk. To find the critical temperature, we used the Sturm-Liouville variational method. Where as the same method is applied for calculating the condensation of the dual operators on the boundary. We included the back reactions on the metric by a combination of the perturbation method of the fields with respect to the small parameter and then applying the variational integrals on the resulting equations of the motion. The critical temperature has been successfully obtained on the backreaction effects, and we showed that it dropped with a rise in the backreaction of the fields, and it makes the condensation harder. We can use our analytical results to support the numerical data which was reported previously.

description: The stiffness of a shearwall in woodframe construction is a function of its sheathing, the sliding and overturning anchorage at its base, and the shear transfer connection at the top of the wall. While one can find a number of studies conducted on the sheathing and anchorage components of shearwalls in resisting seismic forces, studies conducted on shear transfer components are notably scarce. Recent work on the connections between roof rafters and wall top plates has focused on the resistance to uplift loads induced by wind forces. The experimental program documented in this report focuses specifically on diaphragm to shearwall connections designed to resist seismic forces.

Nine diaphragm to shearwall connection configurations were tested under cyclic loads using the shake table in the Structural Engineering Test Hall at the University of California, Irvine as a large actuator. Using the shake table to load the test specimens allowed the application of the load to be consistent with how it would be applied in an actual earthquake. 

Three shear transfer connection types were investigated, each in three different framing configurations. The three connection types were (TN) toe nailing of framing members to top plates, (FC) fastening framing clips to framing members and top plates, and (FN) flange nailing of framing members to top plates. The three framing configuration used with each connection type were (1) unblocked diaphragms supported by joist framing parallel to the shearwall, (2) unblocked diaphragms supported by joist framing perpendicular to the shearwall, and (3) blocked diaphragms supported by joist framing perpendicular to the shearwall. For each set of tests for a given connector type, two test specimens were tested for each unblocked diaphragm configuration and one additional test specimen was tested for the blocked diaphragm configuration. All together cyclic tests were conducted on 15 test specimens.

description: Among the most interesting and poorly known groups of the South American fish fauna is the catfish trichomycterid subfamily Sarcoglanidinae that includes miniature psammophilic species. We herein describe a new species, Ammoglanis multidentatus sp. nov., with larger specimens reaching less than 20 mm of standard length. In contrast to other sarcoglanidines that are found in rivers draining rain-forests, this new species was collected in the Rio Paraguaçu basin, Brazilian semiarid Caatinga. Ammoglanis multidentatus differs from all other sarcoglanidines by some osteological features, comprising the presence of a ventral process on the sesamoid supraorbital in contact with the latero-posterior process of the autopalatine, a robust opercle with numerous odontodes, and a long anteroventral process of the opercle. The description of A. multidentatus expands the geographical range of Ammoglanis about 1000 km to east, which highly suggests that unknown species of Ammoglanis may occur in several other areas of South America, probably as a result of the absence of fish collections directed to sand habitats.

description: The unique plasma-specific features and physical phenomena in the organization of nanoscale solid-state systems in a broad range of elemental composition, structure, and dimensionality are critically reviewed. These effects lead to the possibility to localize and control energy and matter at nanoscales and to produce self-organized nano-solids with highly unusual and superior properties. A unifying conceptual framework based on the control of production, transport, and self-organization of precursor species is introduced and a variety of plasma-specific non-equilibrium and kinetics-driven phenomena across the many temporal and spatial scales is explained. When the plasma is localized to micrometer and nanometer dimensions, new emergent phenomena arise. The examples range from semiconducting quantum dots and nanowires, chirality control of single-walled carbon nanotubes, ultra-fine manipulation of graphenes, nano-diamond, and organic matter, to nano-plasma effects and nano-plasmas of different states of matter.
