description: Chameleon theories of gravity predict that the gaseous component of isolated dwarf galaxies rotates with a faster velocity than the stellar component. In this paper, we exploit this effect to obtain new constraints on the model parameters using the measured rotation curves of six low surface brightness galaxies. For $f(R)$ theories, we rule out values of $f_{R0}>10^{-6}$. For more general theories, we find that the constraints from Cepheid variable stars are currently more competitive than the bounds we obtain here but we are able to rule out self-screening parameters $χ_c>10^{-6}$ for fifth-force strengths (coupling of the scalar to matter) as low as $0.05$ the Newtonian force. This region of parameter space has hitherto been inaccessible to astrophysical probes. We discuss the future prospects for improving these bounds.

description: Subterranean exploration has been thrust into the spotlight by the recent DARPA Subterranean Challenge. Teams are tasked with developing a multi-agent system that can rapidly navigate through unknown underground environments while sending back maps and other semantic information. A system with such capabilities has a wide variety of applications from surveying and mapping mines to search and rescue operations. Aerial platforms in particular have the ability to fly fast and discover large parts of an environment despite their lower operational endurance. They can also change altitude at will to explore narrow nooks in spaces that are otherwise difficult to access. The work done in this thesis aims to leverage these abilities to build a resilient autonomy pipeline that enables multiple drones to coordinate an underground exploration mission with the click of a button. Towards that end, we propose an integrated exploration and coordination pipeline that is designed to generalize across a variety of subterranean environments. An ensemble of planners has been built in to tackle a large set of operating conditions ensuring the robot is never still for too long. Coordination map sharing enables the aerial platforms to minimize the overlap in explored volumes between them and other robots on the team. An extensive set of field experiments show that the approach works well in subterranean spaces such as caves, mines and urban infrastructure. We conclude with a discussion on further work planned for improving the system in the future.
title: A cross-disciplinary investigation of subject tutor feedback: lessons for the EAP practitioner
Creators: name: Grannell, Lena
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: Studies have demonstrated that academic disciplines can show considerable variation not just in terms of the language forms and structures used, but also in relation to other disciplinary practices, such as the way in which knowledge claims are made and arguments developed (e.g. Lea & Street 1998; Hyland 2013a). Adopting a critical pragmatic approach (Harwood & Hadley 2004), this study first explores variation in what subject tutors from four different disciplines focus on in their written feedback. The data comprises feedback provided on 54 postgraduate assignments drawn from modules in Creative Industries, Biological Sciences, Child Studies, and Applied Linguistics, as well as interviews with each module convener. MaxQDA qualitative software is used to conduct a content analysis of the data. The software not only assists with the coding and categorization of the data leading to the development of a categorization framework, but also enables a search of specific overlapping codes and a corpus search of lexical items to explore the findings still further. The second research question sets out to explore feedback from an alternative perspective, that of the learner. Studies investigating students’ satisfaction with feedback continue to paint a pessimistic picture (e.g., O’Donovan 2020; Clegg & Bryan 2019), reflecting the relatively low satisfaction rates with feedback and assessment in national student surveys (NSS 2021; PTES 2020). The chosen research design to address this second question draws on the method adopted by Winstone et al., (2016) whereby prior research surveying students’ perceptions of feedback is used to generate a list of valued feedback qualities as a methodological point of reference with which to explore the alignment between actual tutor practice and students’ views of effective feedback. The investigation of feedback from these four modules does not represent a sample from which generalisations can be drawn, since commentary provided on students’ work comprises just a small part of a complex intervention (Boud & Molloy 2013). However, examining findings through contrast of disciplines can shed additional light on what subject tutors from different faculties value in a text, and therein assist the writing practitioner when identifying priorities of EAP provision across different disciplines. This investigation, for example, reports on differences in the extent and nature of criticality and contestation across disciplines and genres, how the rhetorical value placed on ‘clarity’ is consistent across all faculties, and how commentary addressing other aspects of student writing, such as register and language, is absent. With respect to the alignment between actual tutor practice and students’ views of effective feedback, this study finds that, by and large, tutor commentary does match students’ expections in regard to the qualities desired in feedback.

description: Follow this hyperlink to the interactive application that supports the publication "Mitochondrial and NAD+ metabolism predict recovery from acute kidney injury in a diverse mouse population" with the DOI: 10.1172/jci.insight.164626. Acute kidney failure and chronic kidney disease are global health issues steadily rising in incidence and prevalence. Animal models on a single genetic background have so far failed to recapitulate the clinical presentation of human nephropathies. Here, we used a simple model of folic acid–induced kidney injury in 7 highly diverse mouse strains. We measured plasma and urine parameters, as well as renal histopathology and mRNA expression data, at 1, 2, and 6 weeks after injury, covering the early recovery and long-term remission. We observed an extensive strain-specific response ranging from complete resistance of the CAST/EiJ to high sensitivity of the C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, and PWK/PhJ strains. In susceptible strains, the severe early kidney injury was accompanied by the induction of mitochondrial stress response (MSR) genes and the attenuation of NAD+ synthesis pathways. This is associated with delayed healing and a prolonged inflammatory and adaptive immune response 6 weeks after insult, heralding a transition to chronic kidney disease. Through a thorough comparison of the transcriptomic response in mouse and human disease, we show that critical metabolic gene alterations were shared across species, and we highlight the PWK/PhJ strain as an emergent model of transition from acute kidney injury to chronic disease.

description: Despite machine learning (ML)’s many practical breakthroughs, formidable ob-stacles obstruct its deployment in consequential applications. Modern ML modelshave repeatedly been shown to rely on spurious signals, such as surface level texturesin images, and to be sensitive to background scenery, even when the task addressesthe recognition of foreground objects. In NLP, these issues have emerged as centralconcerns in the literature onannotation artifactsandbias. Moreover, while modernML performs remarkably well on independent and identically distributed (iid) hold-out data, performance often decays catastrophically under both naturally occurringand adversarial distribution shift. We desire decisions to be based on qualifications,not on distant proxies that are spuriously associated with the outcome of interest. Ar-guably one key distinction of an actual qualification might be that it actually exertscausal influence on the outcome of interest. In this thesis, we make progress towardsthese goals: in the first part, we scrutinize benchmarks and problem formulation forpopular NLP tasks, such as question answering and how models may ignore crucialparts of the input altogether and yet perform well on a held out test set; in the secondpart, we focus on introducing methods and datasets to train models to be less relianton spurious correlations by learning from several forms of human feedback (soughtvia crowdsourcing); in part three we focus on the human workforce as we discussthe ethical tensions posed by the diverse roles played by crowdworkers in NLP re-search, and discuss the implications of selecting a diverse cohort of crowdworkerson resulting human-in-the-loop feedback.

description: A cusp singularity is an elliptic surface singularity whose minimal resolution is a cycle of smooth rational curves meeting transversely. Cusp singularities come in naturally dual pairs. In 1981, Looijenga proved that whenever a cusp singularity is smoothable, the minimal resolution of the dual cusp is an anticanonical divisor of some smooth rational surface. He conjectured the converse. Recent work of Gross, Hacking, and Keel has proven Looijenga's conjecture using methods from mirror symmetry. This paper provides an alternative proof of Looijenga's conjecture based on a combinatorial criterion for smoothability given by Friedman and Miranda in 1983.

Abstract:

Exposomics researchers need to identify relevant chemicals covering all potential exposures over entire lifetimes. With over 100 million chemicals in the largest chemical databases, coupled with broadly acknowledged knowledge gaps, researchers are faced with too much yet not enough information at the same time. Improvements in analytical technologies and computational mass spectrometry workflows coupled with the rapid growth in databases and increasing demand for high throughput “big data” services from the research community present significant challenges for both data hosts and workflow developers. This talk will describe FAIR and Open Science developments in the Environmental Cheminformatics group, including the NORMAN Suspect List Exchange (NORMAN-SLE), MassBank, MetFrag, PubChemLite for Exposomics, the PubChem PFAS Tree, patRoon, ShinyTPs and the Chemical Stripes, and will show how these are applied in our active research projects to tackle challenges in non-target exposomics studies. Finally, this talk will touch on some of our latest work on patent data and critically assessing the implications of class definitions using the examples of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and persistent, mobile, toxic (PMT) compounds.

description: This deliverable presents the second and final release of the functional and non-function specifications of the iHelp solution and updates and replaces the first release D2.6 – “Functional and Non-Functional Specifications I” (Mel, Pan, 21), submitted at M10. Functional and non-functional specifications guide the development activities throughout the project, in order to achieve a consensus on what the iHelp platform will offer. This has a two-fold advantage as it lets the developers know what to build and the users what they will get.
 These specifications explain how the requirements provided by the pilots and the technical partners will be fulfilled by the iHelp platform and provide a detailed definition of the functionalities/behaviours of the iHelp components and the interactions among them. Details on the design of the components are outlined in the related deliverables and are out of the scope of this document.
 This work started from the initial version of the specifications and took into account the last outcomes of the requirements elicitation and architectural design. More specifically, the reported requirements in D2.3 – “State of the art and requirements analysis III” (M., A., C., + 22) and the updated architecture in D2.5 – “Conceptual model and reference architecture II” (M., P., A., + 22). Moreover, use cases reported in D2.3 have been analyzed to identify new or updated functionalities compared to those considered in D2.6. The final release of the iHelp architecture has been examined to understand the role and objective of each component, and the technical specifications were produced for all iHelp components. What is more, technical partners have provided the Swagger/OpenAPI files documenting the components they are responsible for. Connection mechanisms, data flows and control flows have been discussed and clarified during frequent brainstorming involving all interested parties. Requirements specified in D2.3 have been reviewed to update the non-functional specifications reported in D2.6.

description: This report outlines systematic modeling and comparative analysis of connecting rod of a motorized cargo tricycle (popularly referred to as motor king in the northern part of Ghana and as Aboboyaa in the south). Two different designs, solid and hollow shank connecting rods, made from three different alloying materials (AA 6061, Ti - 5Al - 2.5Sn and AISI 1045) were modeled and analyzed using the finite element analysis (F.E.A) software (ABACUS CAE / 2022 Learning Edition). The crank end of the connecting rod was constrained, and a load of 1371 kN was applied at the piston end pointing south. After analysis, results showed that the stress induced in the piston end was higher than the one induced on the crank end. This was attributed to the colour red at the piston end and the colour blue at the crank end. Titanium alloy had the least stress value of 5000 pa for the solid shank followed by AA6061 alloy with a value of 9000 pa and AISI 1045 was the highest with a stress value of 13000 pa, also, for the hollow shank titanium had the least stress value of 3900 pa followed by AA 6061 of 41000 pa with the greatest value of stress still being AISI 1045 having a value of 7000 pa. Elastic strain and deformations analysis showed that titanium alloy was the most resilient showing a max elastic strain of 19 for the solid shank and 23 for the hollow shank and deformation amount of 16 m for solid and 18 m for hollow shank.  AISI 1045 was least resilient showing maximum elastic strain of 70 for solid and 75 for hollow and total deformation of 26 m for solid and 30 m for hollow. In terms of design, the solid shank connecting rod showed the least deformation irrespective of material used. For example AA 6061 deformed by 20 m, titanium by 16 m and AISI 1045 by 26m.

description: Follow this hyperlink to the interactive application that supports the publication "The genetic background shapes disease susceptibility and reveal a specific role for mitochondrial dysfunction in the progression from NAFLD to NASH" with the DOI: 10.1084/jem.20221738. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a global health concern that has still no treatment. The challenge in finding effective therapies is partly due to the lack of good mouse models and the complexity of the disease, characterized by the interplay between environmental and genetics factors. We tested the susceptibility of 7 genetically diverse mouse strains to develop NASH, by feeding them a western diet and housing them at thermoneutrality. Each strain responded to the environmental challenges, but the severity of their clinical phenotype varied widely across strains. The wild-derived PWK/PhJ mice were the most prone to develop NASH, while CAST/EiJ mice were completely resistant to hepatic histological alterations. We show that our experimental design is more suited than high-fat diet and room temperature housing to model human NASH. Levels of transcripts and proteins present in the mitochondria as well as mitochondrial function were robustly reduced in the liver of PWK/PhJ mice, suggesting a central role of mitochondrial dysfunction in NASH progression. Importantly, among the 7 strains tested, the alterations in gene expression observed in PWK/PhJ mice were the closest to the human NASH. Our study exposes the limitations of using a single mouse genetic background in metabolic studies and describes a novel NASH mouse model that closely resembles the human disease.

description: Bayesian sparse factor models have proven useful for characterizing dependence in multivariate data, but scaling computation to large numbers of samples and dimensions is problematic. We propose expandable factor analysis for scalable inference in factor models when the number of factors is unknown. The method relies on a continuous shrinkage prior for efficient maximum a posteriori estimation of a low-rank and sparse loadings matrix. The structure of the prior leads to an estimation algorithm that accommodates uncertainty in the number of factors. We propose an information criterion to select the hyperparameters of the prior. Expandable factor analysis has better false discovery rates and true positive rates than its competitors across diverse simulations. We apply the proposed approach to a gene expression study of aging in mice, illustrating superior results relative to four competing methods.

description: We consider the Do-All problem, where $p$ cooperating processors need to complete $t$ similar and independent tasks in an adversarial setting. Here we deal with a synchronous message passing system with processors that are subject to crash failures. Efficiency of algorithms in this setting is measured in terms of work complexity (also known as total available processor steps) and communication complexity (total number of point-to-point messages). When work and communication are considered to be comparable resources, then the overall efficiency is meaningfully expressed in terms of effort defined as work + communication. We develop and analyze a constructive algorithm that has work $O( t + p \log p\, (\sqrt{p\log p}+\sqrt{t\log t}\, ) )$ and a nonconstructive algorithm that has work $O(t +p \log^2 p)$. The latter result is close to the lower bound $Ω(t + p \log p/ \log \log p)$ on work. The effort of each of these algorithms is proportional to its work when the number of crashes is bounded above by $c\,p$, for some positive constant $c < 1$. We also present a nonconstructive algorithm that has effort $O(t + p ^{1.77})$.
An analysis of gender wage gap and satisfaction in private law practice
Creators: name: Dustman, Kimberly
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: While women have made considerable strides in terms of representation in the workplace, discrepancies by gender still exist with regard to women’s professional satisfaction and wages. The field of legal private practice is one such example where female lawyers have increased in number but still do not earn commensurately with men and often do not report satisfaction levels as high as men do. Women are more likely than men to remain in lower level, less remunerative legal positions within private practice, or to move out of private practice all together into legal sectors that are less prestigious such as government or the non-profit sector. Gender differences in workplace satisfaction and pay for lawyers in private practice are closely examined in this study to determine what can predict various components of satisfaction as well as wages, and what accounts for differences in their distribution between men and women. This dissertation begins with a brief overview of gender pay inequities in a variety of fields, followed by a detailed review of prior literature on female representation and wage inequity by gender in the legal field. The literature review is followed by a recommendation for future research on the gender wage gap among lawyers in private practice. This research utilizes the After the JD (AJD; After the Juris Doctor) data set (Garth et al., n.d.), a longitudinal survey tracking nearly 5,000 law graduates admitted to the bar in 2000 across a 10-year period. This recent, nationally representative source of data contains a variety of educational, personal, and job-related variables on lawyers to better understand their progression in the field. Quantitative techniques including least squares linear regression and a modified decomposition analysis are used to investigate the relationships of human and social capital, family situation, personal aspirations, and discrimination to the gender pay gap, as well as how these gaps can be understood across time. Analyses are conducted for race and ethnicity within gender as sample size permits to better understand how pay inequalities operate at the intersection of multiple demographic subgroups. As a secondary component to the study, lawyer satisfaction is examined according to gender and race and ethnicity within gender, particularly as satisfaction relates to income differences. Factor analysis is utilized to create condensed satisfaction composites, which are then used as dependent variables in a series of regressions. This research aims to contribute to the field of diversity, equity, and inclusion by examining pay differentials and satisfaction differences by demographic subgroup in the prestigious and lucrative field of private law practice.

 studying respiratory exposure to both therapeutic and hazardous materials. There is a need therefore to develop
 sophisticated models of the human alveolar epithelium, which better represent the different cell types present in the
 native lung and interactions between them. Our aim was to develop an air-liquid interface (ALI) model of the alveolar epithelium by incorporating human cell lines which bear features of type I (hAELVi) and type II (NCI-H441) epithelial cells.

description: Follow this hyperlink to the interactive application that supports the publication "Sex- and age-dependent genetics of longevity in a heterogeneous mouse population" with the DOI: 10.1126/science.abo3191. DNA variants that modulate lifespan are beginning to provide a systematic and unbiased insight into determinants of health, disease and aging. Through genetic analyses in the large UM-HET3 F2 intercross used by the NIA Interventions Testing Program (ITP), we detect a known sex-independent quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 12 and identify novel and known sex-specific QTLs, some of which become detectable only in older mice. Similar relations between life history traits and longevity were uncovered in both mice and humans, underscoring the importance of early access to nutrients and early growth on longevity. Gene expression analysis identified common, age- and sex-specific genetic effects on gene expression. Through orthogonal model organism and human data integration, we provide candidate longevity genes and prioritize using C. elegans lifespan experiments Hipk1, Ddost, Hspg2, Fgd6, and Pdk1 as promising and conserved longevity genes. Finally, we provide an interactive hypothesis-building resource of mouse longevity and body weight genes.

description: Different from western military doctrine, the Russian concept of cyberwarfare is intrinsically related to Information Warfare. Instead of cyber operations being a complement to kinetic operations, such as disrupting enemy infrastructure, Russia defines them as a subset of information warfare, and thus, as a soft power non-kinetic way to influence other countries. This has caused western analysts to misinterpret the objective and successes of past Russian solely on tactical gains. This paper aims to explain the concept of cyber warfare from the Russian perspective, its evolutions from 2007 until 2022, and what are the perspectives for the future of cyberwarfare.
Cupid in Korea

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1920

description: Griffis begins by explaining Korea’s long history of diplomatic marriages and treaties. These agreements ostensibly placed Korea within a growing union of sovereign nations, however it is clear that Korea was economically unprepared for this transition. With open borders and open influence, Korea began to unsuccessfully adopt a number of economic and political systems from the West and from Japan and China. This open influence led to unrest among the Korean people, as allegiances began to be formed. In particular, Pro-Chinese and Pro-Japanese sentiment lead to a long period of war and peace. Griffis concludes by describing the political marriage of the Korean “Prince Heir” and Princess Masako of Japan. This ceremonial Japanese wedding, a preparatory step before annexation, had the potential to unite the bride and groom as a symbolic union of Korea and Japan.

description: Surface mining for coal has left scars on landscapes and reduced ecosystem functions across Appalachia for over a century. In the Monongahela National Forest, WV, a restoration project has been going on since 2009 on legacy minelands that dissect the biodiverse high elevation red spruce ecosystem. Goals of the restoration project include watershed improvement, soil building, enhancement of early successional habitat, and reforestation. Decompaction of the minelands is a critical step in the restoration process, and allows native vegetation to begin colonizing the site. Through this project, hundreds of vernal pools are constructed each year, and woody debris from non-native tree plantations is repurposed for habitat features. Increasing native tree and shrub diversity on the minelands has long been an objective, but herbaceous plants, which provide many benefits to soil formation and wildlife habitat, are underutilized. Transplants of four native flowering species important to pollinators were planted around constructed vernal pools and survival and cover were measured. Ten herbaceous and one shrub species were seeded on recently decompacted minelands, with and without protection by woody debris, to measure germination, cover, and survival of seedlings. The mineland seed bank was characterized and compared to adjacent forest plant community composition, and both were compared to pre- and post-decompaction plant communities. Results showed that decompaction increased plant species richness, and transplanting herbaceous plants to constructed vernal pools and direct seeding uplands are viable options for increasing plant diversity on minelands.

description: A discrete group is said to be C*-simple if its reduced C*-algebra is simple, and is said to have the unique trace property if its reduced C*-algebra has a unique tracial state. A dynamical characterization of C*-simplicity was recently obtained by the second and third named authors. In this paper, we introduce new methods for working with group and crossed product C*-algebras that allow us to take the study of C*-simplicity a step further, and in addition to settle the longstanding open problem of characterizing groups with the unique trace property. We give a new and self-contained proof of the aforementioned characterization of C*-simplicity. This yields a new characterization of C*-simplicity in terms of the weak containment of quasi-regular representations. We introduce a convenient algebraic condition that implies C*-simplicity, and show that this condition is satisfied by a vast class of groups, encompassing virtually all previously known examples as well as many new ones. We also settle a question of Skandalis and de la Harpe on the simplicity of reduced crossed products. Finally, we introduce a new property for discrete groups that is closely related to C*-simplicity, and use it to prove a broad generalization of a theorem of Zimmer, originally conjectured by Connes and Sullivan, about amenable actions.

description: A matching $M$ in a multigraph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be uniquely restricted if $M$ is the only perfect matching in the subgraph of $G$ induced by $V(M)$ (i.e., the set of vertices saturated by $M$). For any fixed vertex $x_0$ in $G$, there is a bijection from the set of spanning trees of $G$ to the set of uniquely restricted matchings of size $|V|-1$ in $S(G)-x_0$, where $S(G)$ is the bipartite graph obtained from $G$ by subdividing each edge in $G$. Thus the notion "uniquely restricted matchings of a bipartite graph $H$ saturating all vertices in a partite set $X$" can be viewed as an extension of "spanning trees in a connected graph". Motivated by this observation, we extend the notion "G-parking functions" of a connected multigraph to "B-parking functions" $f:X\rightarrow \{-1,0,1,2,\cdots \}$ of a bipartite graph $H$ with a bipartition $(X,Y)$ and find a bijection $ψ$ from the set of uniquely restricted matchings of $H$ to the set of B-parking functions of $H$. We also show that for any uniquely restricted matching $M$ in $H$ with $|M|=|X|$, if $f=ψ(M)$, then $\sum_{x\in X}f(x)$ is exactly the number of elements $y\in Y-V(M)$ which are not externally B-active with respect to $M$ in $H$, where the new notion "externally B-active members with respect to $M$ in $H$" is an extension of "externally active edges with respect to a spanning tree in a connected multigraph".

description: We give a counting formula for the set of rectangular increasing tableaux in terms of generalized Narayana numbers. We define small $m$-Schröder paths and give a bijection between the set of increasing rectangular tableaux and small $m$-Schröder paths, generalizing a result of Pechenik [3]. Using $K$-jeu de taquin promotion, which was defined by Thomas and Yong [10], we give a cyclic sieving phenomenon for the set of increasing hook tableaux.
A suite of plugins for data-driven analyses of acute inflammatory phenotypes

description: Acute inflammation and its resolution is a non-linear spatial-temporal process involving several cell types and numerous regulatory molecules. The dynamic nature and the fact that several distinct but related molecular networks are involved, in a coordinated fashion, pose a challenge for systems biology approaches and bioinformatic analyses in this area of research. The Atlas of Inflammation Resolution (AIR) is a MINERVA-based comprehensive web-based collection of information about molecules and their interactions in acute inflammation and its resolution. As of October 2020, the AIR contains 20 manually created submaps of signaling pathways involved in the four phases of acute inflammation: Initiation, Transition, Resolution and Homeostasis. Additionally, the AIR is enriched by a protein-protein-interaction (PPI) network with regulatory layers of microRNAs, lncRNAs and transcription factors building a large molecular interaction map (MIM). The directed structure of the MIM enables the use of logic-based models to perform in silico perturbation experiments on the AIR. In order to support the identification of sub-networks, and their modeling and simulation, we recently developed a suite of MINERVA plugins. The plugins provide the functions: (i) mapping experimental (omics) data onto the MIM to identify targeted molecules and networks; (ii) enrichment analysis; (iii) mapping of HPO terms; (iv) identification of therapeutic targets through in silico perturbation experiments; (v) simulation of changes to phenotype levels; (vi) integration and visualization of gene variant information. With the newly developed plugins, the AIR becomes more than a repository, enabling bioinformatics analyses and systems biology approaches. Our goal is to support the acute inflammation and inflammation resolution communities, with the formulation and validation of hypotheses, combining data-driven modeling and model-driven design of experiments.

description: Random geometric networks consist of 1) a set of nodes embedded randomly in a bounded domain $\mathcal{V} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and 2) links formed probabilistically according to a function of mutual Euclidean separation. We quantify how often all paths in the network characterisable as topologically `shortest' contain a given node (betweenness centrality), deriving an expression in terms of a known integral whenever 1) the network boundary is the perimeter of a disk and 2) the network is extremely dense. Our method shows how similar formulas can be obtained for any convex geometry. Numerical corroboration is provided, as well as a discussion of our formula's potential use for cluster head election and boundary detection in densely deployed wireless ad hoc networks.
