description: Cet article examine l'influence de la philosophie islamique sur la théologie médiéale d'un point de vue dynamique et actuel. En particulier, l'impavct et la représentation des philosophes islamiques Avicenne (Ibn Sina) et Averroès (Ibn Rushd) dans la pensée théologique chrétienne de l'époque sont analysés. Il explore comment les oeuvres d'Avicenne, qui combinaient des éléments de la philosophie grecque et de la théologie islamique, ont stimulé les débats et influencé les théologiens médiévaux tels que Thomas d'Aquin. En outre, il examine l'approche de la « double vérité » proposée par Averroès, qui a remis en question les conceptions traditionnelles et promu l'importance de la raison et de la philosophie dans la compréhension de la vérité religieuse. L'influence de la philosophie islamique sur la théologie médiévale s'est également étendue au domaine de la métaphysique et a généré un dialogue interculturel qui a redéfini les traditions philosophiques et théologiques chrétiennes. Cette analyse met en évidence la pertinence de l'interaction entre les cultures dans le développement de la pensée théologique médiévale et son impact durable sur la compréhension contemporaine de la foi et de la raison.
Quantum Walk Topology and Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In a recent detailed research program we proposed to study the complex physics of topological phases by an all optical implementation of a discrete-time quantum walk. The main novel ingredient proposed for this study is the use of non-linear parametric amplifiers in the network which could in turn be used to emulate intra-atomic interactions and thus analyze many-body effects in topological phases even when using light as the quantum walker. In this paper, and as a first step towards the implementation of our scheme, we analize the interplay between quantum walk lattice topology and spatial correlations of bi-photons produced by spontaneous parametric down-conversion. We also describe different detection methods suitable for our proposed experimental scheme.

description: We use concepts from statistical physics to transform the original evolution equation for the sea ice thickness distribution $g(h)$ due to Thorndike et al., (1975) into a Fokker-Planck like conservation law. The steady solution is $g(h) = {\cal N}(q) h^q \mathrm{e}^{-~ h/H}$, where $q$ and $H$ are expressible in terms of moments over the transition probabilities between thickness categories. The solution exhibits the functional form used in observational fits and shows that for $h \ll 1$, $g(h)$ is controlled by both thermodynamics and mechanics, whereas for $h \gg 1$ only mechanics controls $g(h)$. Finally, we derive the underlying Langevin equation governing the dynamics of the ice thickness $h$, from which we predict the observed $g(h)$. The genericity of our approach provides a framework for studying the geophysical scale structure of the ice pack using methods of broad relevance in statistical mechanics.

description: A search for a heavy scalar boson H decaying into a pair of lighter standard-model-like 125 GeV Higgs bosons h and a search for a heavy pseudoscalar boson A decaying into a Z and an h boson are presented. The searches are performed on a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns of pp collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, collected by CMS in 2012. A final state consisting of two tau leptons and two b jets is used to search for the H to hh decay. A final state consisting of two tau leptons from the h boson decay, and two additional leptons from the Z boson decay, is used to search for the decay A to Zh. The results are interpreted in the context of the two-Higgs-doublet models. No excess is found above the standard model expectation and upper limits are set on the heavy boson production cross sections in the mass ranges 260 < m[H] < 350 GeV and 220 < m[A] < 350 GeV.

description: T helper 17 (Th17) cells contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, their heterogeneity and regulatory mechanisms in IBD are not completely disclosed. A mouse colitis model was established. Th17 cells were enriched from the mesenteric lymph nodes (mLN) and lamina propria (LP). The phenotypes and functions of Th17 subsets were analyzed by flow cytometry, Immunoblotting, and real-time RT-PCR. The contributions of the Th17 subsets to colitis pathogenesis were evaluated by histology, ELISA, and flow cytometry after adoptive transfer. Smoothened (SMO), GLI family zinc finger 1 (Gli1), and GLI family zinc finger 3 (Gli3) were markedly up-regulated while Patched 1 (PTCH1) was down-regulated in LP Th17 cells in colitic lamina propria. Based on the expression of PTCH1 and C-C motif chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6), LP Th17 cells were divided into a PTCH1lowCCR6low Th17 subset and a PTCH1highCCR6high Th17 subset. The former expressed higher T-bet, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β, and GM-CSF but lower IL-17A, IL-22, IL-17F, and Gli3 than the latter. The PTCH1highCCR6high Th17 subset was more resistant to polarization towards T helper 1 (Th1) than the PTCH1lowCCR6low Th17 subset. Moreover, the PTCH1highCCR6high Th17 subset was more competent to maintain Th17 identity. The PTCH1highCCR6high Th17 subset induced less severe colitis than the PTCH1lowCCR6low Th17 subset. PTCH1highCCR6high Th17 cells are Th17 cells whereas PTCH1lowCCR6low Th17 cells are Th1-like Th17 cells. Our study deepens the understanding of Th17 heterogeneity and plasticity in colitis.
Compensation of Nonlinear Torsion in Flexible Joint Robots: Comparison of Two Approaches

Subjects: subject: Systems and Control (eess.SY)
subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: Flexible joint robots, in particularly those which are equipped with harmonic-drive gears, can feature elasticities with hysteresis. Under heavy loads and large joint torques the hysteresis lost motion can lead to significant errors of tracking and positioning of the robotic links. In this paper, two approaches for compensating the nonlinear joint torsion with hysteresis are described and compared with each other. Both methods assume the measured signals available only on the motor side of joint transmissions. The first approach assumes a rigid-link manipulator model and transforms the desired link trajectory into that of the motor drives by using the inverse dynamics and inverse hysteresis map. The second approach relies on the modeling of motor drives and inverse hysteresis and uses the generalized momenta when predicting the joint torsion. Both methods are discussed in details along with a numerical example of two-link planar manipulator under gravity.

description: A new technique for the fabrication of highly sensitive qPlus sensor for atomic force microscopy (AFM) is described. Focused ion beam was used to cut then weld onto a bare quartz tuning fork a sharp micro-tip from an electrochemically etched tungsten wire. The resulting qPlus sensor exhibits high resonance frequency and quality factor allowing increased force gradient sensitivity. Its spring constant can be determined precisely which allows accurate quantitative AFM measurements. The sensor is shown to be very stable and could undergo usual UHV tip cleaning including e-beam and field evaporation as well as in-situ STM tip treatment. Preliminary results with STM and AFM atomic resolution imaging at $4.5\,K$ of the silicon $Si(111)-7\times 7$ surface are presented.

description: A study of collisionless external shocks in gamma-ray bursts is presented. The shock structure, electromagnetic fields, and process of electron acceleration are assessed by performing a self-consistent 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. In accordance with hydrodynamic shock systems, the shock consists of a reverse shock (RS) and forward shock (FS) separated by a contact discontinuity (CD). The development and structure are controlled by the ion Weibel instability. The ion filaments are sources of strong transverse electromagnetic fields at both sides of the double shock structure over a length of 30 - 100 ion skin depths. Electrons are heated up to a maximum energy $ε_{\rm ele}\approx \sqrt{ε_{\rm b}}$, where $ε$ is the energy normalized to the total incoming energy. Jet electrons are trapped in the RS transition region due to the presence of an ambipolar electric field and reflection by the strong transverse magnetic fields in the shocked region. In a process similar to shock surfing acceleration (SSA) for ions, electrons experience drift motion and acceleration by ion filament transverse electric fields in the plane perpendicular to the shock propagation direction. Ultimately accelerated jet electrons are convected back into the upstream.

description: This paper focuses on the complexity of vocational education and training (VET) services in an international context, a novel concept up to the present. To capture the complexity of this kind of service, a survey instrument adequate for the purpose is needed. Therefore, the complexity assessment model based on Blockus is used, which focuses on the input, potentials, and output of services. This model was adapted for International VET services and supplemented with a new complexity dimension with three associated complexity forms. The resulting model was validated with reference to nine projects from the funding line "Internationalization of Vocational Education and Training" (IBB) of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), which addresses, among other subjects, the demand-oriented development and model implementation of education and training services for international markets. In order to validate the complexity assessment model, qualitative and quantitative data regarding the nine selected projects of the IBB funding line will be used in the form of secondary analyses and analysed by using document analyses and qualitative content analyses. In summary, the complexity assessment model, which is supplemented by the dimension of transfer complexity, is suitable for assessing and surveying complexity in the context of international vocational training services, but requires additional validation and adaptation in the context of further research.

description: Recent results in quantum information theory characterize quantum coherence in the context of resource theories. Here we study the relation between quantum coherence and quantum discord, a kind of quantum correlation which appears even in non-entangled states. We prove that the creation of quantum discord with multipartite incoherent operations is bounded by the amount of quantum coherence consumed in its subsystems during the process. We show how the interplay between quantum coherence consumption and creation of quantum discord works in the preparation of multipartite quantum correlated states and in the model of deterministic quantum computation with one qubit.

Modeling the Behavior of Macromolecules at Interfaces

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: Chemical Engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The behavior of macromolecules at an interface is often remarkably different from  their behavior in the bulk. Understanding this behavior, and the physicochemical  processes that govern it, is the key to designing better polymers, surfactants and proteins. However, there are many interfacial phenomenon that occur in macromolecular materials which classical thermodynamics and macroscopic fluid mechanics can notadequately describe. In this thesis, we employ theory and computationtounder stand the behavior of macromolecules at interfaces.  
We first investigate the mechanisms which govern oxygen transport in ionic polymers, in an effort to identify modifications to the polymer chemistry which could reduce oxygen transport resistance. Using molecular simulations, we model the transport of oxygen in a polymer that is representative of commercial offerings, and in a  recently developed high oxygen permeability polymer. We quantify the rate of oxygen transport, and present evidence that the chemical and morphological differences  between the two polymers affect oxygen transport properties. Specifically, we find  that the high oxygen permeability polymer exhibits improved oxygen solubility, but  diminished oxygen diffusivity.  
We use these results to guide further analysis, which investigates the specific effects that morphology has on the kinetics of oxygen transport. We use computational  geometry and data science techniques to describe morphological characteristics, finding that the size and continuity of hydrophilic domains has a strong impact on oxygen diffusivity. We then make direct comparisons between oxygen diffusivity and the local chemical environment of oxygen molecules.  
Finally, we develop and discuss models of the electric double layer in a solution  which contains ionic surfactants. We identify key differences in electric double layer  structure predicted using analytical techniques and molecular dynamics simulations,  and use these results to determine how differences in the structure of the electric double layer will affect diffusiophoretic mobility.
SENTIMENT ANALYSIS USING BERT ON YELP RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2022
Subjects: Natural language processing

description: Yelp is a platform for users to leave text-based reviews of products or services in addition to photos and ratings from one to five stars. This study addresses two distinct problems that Yelp currently has. First, Yelp's exorbitant number of text-based reviews sometimes makes it impossible for the user to go through and read every single review. Second, the lack of specificity of Yelp's current one-to-five-star rating system cannot determine the rationales of the customers if they have given the same rating. To solve the aforementioned problems, the study focused on the initial stage of the algorithm by answering the research question, "Can the BERT model determine whether a customer's review on Yelp is positive or negative, and the degree of said positivity or negativity, based on the review's content?". To answer the stated research question, the study provided each step of the research approach: (1) tokenization and removing stop words, (2) keyword analysis, (3) preparation for the BERT model, and (4) training the BERT model. Based on the results obtained from the research approach, the study supported the research question that the researcher established in this study. The researcher concluded the study by summarizing the limitations of the study and introducing the future development algorithm that would be focused on building on this initial stage to assign a ranking on a one-to-five scale of each pre-defined category based on the contents of the text-based reviews.

description: Purpose: Post-event processing, defined by self-critical rumination following a stressful communication event, is significantly associated with reduced quality of life. However, despite its relevance to the stuttering experience, to date, only a few studies have investigated post-event processing among adults who stutter, and no study has identified clinical and psychosocial predictors of post-event processing. The purpose of this study was to determine the contributions of clinical markers of stuttering and psychosocial variables to post-event processing.Method: Adults who stutter (N = 96) participated in two virtual sessions. After completing the Trier Social Stress Test, a standardized social stress task in Session 1, participants completed measures of post-event processing, clinical markers of stuttering (i.e., the experience of stuttering, self- and observer-rated stuttering severity), and psychosocial characteristics (i.e., self-perceived performance, self-esteem, social anxiety, trait, and state self-compassion) in Session 2.Results: Hierarchical linear regression models indicated that a more negative experience of stuttering, higher self-rated stuttering severity, and greater social anxiety predicted more post-event processing. Greater self-perceived performance and state self-compassion predicted less rumination. Observer-rated severity, self-esteem, and trait self-compassion were not significantly associated with post-event processing behavior.Conclusion: Findings reveal clinical and psychosocial variables to consider in the assessment and mitigation of post-event processing behavior in adults who stutter, and to bolster resiliency to social stress.Supplemental Material S1.

description: Gaia's astrometric solution aims to determine at least five parameters for each star, together with appropriate estimates of their uncertainties and correlations. This requires at least five distinct observations per star. In the early data reductions the number of observations may be insufficient for a five-parameter solution, and even after the full mission many stars will remain under-observed, including faint stars at the detection limit and transient objects. In such cases it is reasonable to determine only the two position parameters. Their formal uncertainties would however grossly underestimate the actual errors, due to the neglected parallax and proper motion. We aim to develop a recipe to calculate sensible formal uncertainties that can be used in all cases of under-observed stars. Prior information about the typical ranges of stellar parallaxes and proper motions is incorporated in the astrometric solution by means of Bayes' rule. Numerical simulations based on the Gaia Universe Model Snapshot (GUMS) are used to investigate how the prior influences the actual errors and formal uncertainties when different amounts of Gaia observations are available. We develop a criterion for the optimum choice of priors, apply it to a wide range of cases, and derive a global approximation of the optimum prior as a function of magnitude and galactic coordinates. The feasibility of the Bayesian approach is demonstrated through global astrometric solutions of simulated Gaia observations. With an appropriate prior it is possible to derive sensible positions with realistic error estimates for any number of available observations. Even though this recipe works also for well-observed stars it should not be used where a good five-parameter astrometric solution can be obtained without a prior. Parallaxes and proper motions from a solution using priors are always biased and should not be used.

description: Students from rural communities undertake postsecondary education at rates lower than their counterparts from urban and suburban communities, and mathematics is a known gatekeeper along the pipeline toward a college degree. This study investigated the mathematics identity formation of students from a rural school who were college-bound to determine what existing strengths a rural school could build from in providing students with experiences in school mathematics that align with a college-bound path. Data collected included individual interviews with college-bound students, their AP Calculus teacher, and their guidance counselor, group interviews with the students, and classroom observations conducted in the participants’ AP Calculus class. The findings are presented as three narratives, each corresponding to one of the participants in the study, that detail the processes by which they developed their mathematics identities and their paths toward college, as well as the convergences and divergences between the two. Common themes in the participants’ narratives include family, the agricultural and industrial base of the local rural community, grades, the social status attained by achievement in school mathematics, and the benefits of high-quality mathematics instruction. These findings indicate that mathematics served a largely instrumental purpose for the participants, but that this does not prevent them from appreciating and learning from a teacher who frequently used pedagogical techniques associated with reform mathematics. This further implies that students in rural schools would benefit from increased access to mathematics instruction informed by best practices, as well as a lowered focus on grades in school mathematics.

description: We find dynamical invariants for open quantum systems described by the non-Markovian quantum state diffusion (QSD) equation. In stark contrast to closed systems where the dynamical invariant can be identical to the system density operator, these dynamical invariants no longer share the equation of motion for the density operator. Moreover, the invariants obtained with from bi-orthonormal basis can be used to render an exact solution to the QSD equation and the corresponding non-Markovian dynamics without using master equations or numerical simulations. Significantly we show that we can apply these dynamic invariants to reverse-engineering a Hamiltonian that is capable of driving the system to the target state, providing a novel way to design control strategy for open quantum systems.

description: In 2001, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defined ‘extended producer responsibility’ (EPR) as ‘(...) an environmental policy approach in which a producer’s responsibility for a product is extended to the post-consumer stage of a product’s life cycle’. The aim was to encourage adoption of EPR principles such that manufacturers would design their products to optimize the potential for recycling the materials and minimize end-of-life impacts on the waste stream. The EPR concept has since gained in importance, particularly in Europe, as a key policy tool. By now, important waste streams such as packaging waste, end-of-life vehicles (ELV), waste electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) and batteries are regulated under EPR schemes.

description: DNAproDB (https://dnaprodb.usc.edu/) is a database, visualization tool, and processing pipeline for analyzing structural features of protein–DNA interactions. Here we present a substantially updated version through additional structural annotations, search, and UI functionalities. The update expands the number of pre-analyzed protein–DNA structures, which are automatically updated weekly. The analysis pipeline identifies water-mediated hydrogen bonds that are incorporated into the visualizations of protein–DNA complexes. Tertiary structure-aware nucleotide layouts are now available. New file formats and external database annotations are supported. The website has been modernized, and interactions interacting with graphs and data is more intuitive. We also present a statistical analysis on the updated collection of structures revealing salient patterns in protein–DNA interactions.
Nuclear spin noise in NMR revisited

description: The theoretical shapes of nuclear spin-noise spectra in NMR are derived by considering a receiver circuit with finite, preamplifier input impedance and a transmission line between the preamplifier and the probe. Using this model, it becomes possible to reproduce all observed experimental features: variation of the NMR resonance linewidth as a function of the transmission line phase, nuclear spin-noise signals appearing as a "bump" or as a "dip" superimposed on the average electronic noise level even for a spin system and probe at the same temperature, pure in-phase Lorentzian spin-noise signals exhibiting non-vanishing frequency shifts. Extensive comparison to experimental measurements validate the model predictions, and define the conditions for obtaining pure in-phase Lorentzian-shape nuclear spin noise with a vanishing frequency shift, in other words, the conditions for simultaneously obtaining the Spin-Noise and Frequency-Shift Tuning Optima.

The Factor Structure of Parents’ Math-Related Talk and Its Relation to Children’s Early Academic Skills
Creators: name: King, Yemimah
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Early childhood education

description: Early math skills, including numeracy and mathematical language (e.g., “less” and “a few”), are essential for later academic achievement. Children’s mathematical language knowledge is one of the strongest predictors of numeracy skills before kindergarten, suggesting that early exposure to math language is necessary. However, little work is focused on understanding how children are exposed to mathematical language within their early learning environments (e.g., while interacting with parents). The objective of this study was to investigate different constructs of parents’ talk (i.e., general talk, number talk, mathematical language) during math-related activity engagement with young children and examine how parents’ talk relates to children’s general vocabulary, numeracy skills, and mathematical language knowledge. Findings indicate that parents’ talk was best represented by a general talk, number talk, and mathematical language factor. Parents’ talk factors were not significantly related to their respective child outcomes (i.e., general vocabulary, numeracy skills, and mathematical language knowledge). However, parents used more general language when their children had higher numeracy skills but used more mathematical language when they had lower numeracy skills. This study provides initial evidence that parents’ number talk and mathematical language use are distinct constructs of parents’ talk that may expose children to different aspects of mathematical understanding.

description: Program anomaly detection — modeling normal program executions to detect deviations at runtime as cues for possible exploits — has become a popular approach for software security. To leverage high performance modeling and complete tracing, existing techniques however focus on subsets of applications, e.g., on system calls or calls to predefined libraries. Due to limited scope, it is insufficient to detect subtle control-oriented and data-oriented attacks that introduces new illegal call relationships at the application level. Also such techniques are hard to apply on devices that lack a clear separation between OS and the application layer. This dissertation advances the design and implementation of program anomaly detection techniques by providing application context for library and system calls making it powerful for detecting advanced attacks targeted at manipulating intra- and inter-procedural control-flow and decision variables.
 This dissertation has two main parts. The first part describes a statically initialized generic calling context program anomaly detection technique LANCET based on Hidden Markov Modeling to provide security against control-oriented attacks at program runtime. It also establishes an efficient execution tracing mechanism facilitated through source code instrumentation of applications. The second part describes a program anomaly detection framework EDISON to provide security against data-oriented attacks using graph representation learning and language models for intra and inter-procedural behavioral modeling respectively.
 This dissertation makes three high-level contributions. First, the concise descriptions demonstrates the design, implementation and extensive evaluation of an aggregation-based anomaly detection technique using fine-grained generic calling context-sensitive modeling that allows for scaling the detection over entire applications. Second, the precise descriptions show the design, implementation, and extensive evaluation of a detection technique that maps runtime traces to the program’s control-flow graph and leverages graphical feature representation to learn dynamic program behavior. Finally, this dissertation provides details and experience for designing program anomaly detection frameworks from high-level concepts, design, to low-level implementation techniques.

description: We measure the coherent scattering of light by a cloud of laser-cooled atoms with a size comparable to the wavelength of light. By interfering a laser beam tuned near an atomic resonance with the field scattered by the atoms we observe a resonance with a red-shift, a broadening, and a saturation of the extinction for increasing atom numbers. We attribute these features to enhanced light-induced dipole-dipole interactions in a cold, dense atomic ensemble that result in a failure of standard predictions such as the "cooperative Lamb shift". The description of the atomic cloud by a mean-field model based on the Lorentz-Lorenz formula that ignores scattering events where light is scattered recurrently by the same atom and by a microscopic discrete dipole model that incorporates these effects lead to progressively closer agreement with the observations, despite remaining differences.
