description: Plastic is everywhere and once in a water body, some break down into pieces less than 5mm known as microplastics (MPs). MPs come from various sources, and it is hard to know where they originate. Previously published studies have relied on Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR) to identify the types of MPs. In this study, FTIR imaging system was used to determine the composition of MPs in the samples collected in the tidal freshwater Potomac River. Recent studies have also raised concern over the ability of plastic particles to accumulate persistent organic pollutants (POPs), organic compounds that are resistant to environmental degradation. Therefore, this study also aimed to investigate the presence and distribution of POPs absorbed to the post-consumer microplastics deployed into the Occoquan River.

description: The increasing demand in healthcare for accessible and cost-effective analytical tools is driving the development of reliable platforms to the customization of therapy according to individual patient drug serum levels, e.g. of anti-psychotics in schizophrenia. A modifier-free microfluidic paper-based electroanalytical device (μPED) holds promise as a portable, sensitive, and affordable solution. While many studies focus on the working electrode catalysts, improvements by engineering aspects e.g. of the electrode arrangement are less reported. In our study, we demonstrate the enhanced capabilities of the 3D electrode layout of μPED compared to 2D μPED arrangements. We especially show that screen printing can be employed to prepare 3D μPEDs. We conducted a comparison of different 2D and 3D electrode arrangements utilizing cyclic voltammetry in [Fe(CN)₆]³⁻/⁴⁻, along with square-wave voltammetry for clozapine (CLZ) sensing. Our findings reveal that the utilization of the 3D μPED leads to an increase in both the electrochemically active surface area and the electron transfer rate. Consequently, this enhancement contributes to improve sensitivity in the CLZ sensing. The 3D μPED clearly outperforms the 2D μPED arrangement in terms of signal strength. With the 3D μPED under the optimized conditions, a linear dose–response for a concentration range from 7.0 to 100 μM was achieved. The limit of detection and sensitivity was determined to be 1.47 μM and 1.69 μA μM⁻¹ cm⁻², respectively. This evaluation is conducted in the context of detection and determination of CLZ in a human blood serum sample. These findings underscore the potential of the 3D μPED for future applications in pharmacokinetic analyses and clinical tests to personalize the management of schizophrenia.

title: Market Fluctuations Explained by Dividends and Investor Networks
Creators: name: Oldham, Matthew
Publisher: name: Advances in Complex Systems
Year: 2017

description: The inability of investors and academics to consistently predict, and understand the behavior of financial markets has forced the search for alternative analytical frameworks. Analyzing financial markets as complex systems is a framework that has demonstrated great promises, with the use of agent-based models (ABMs) and the inclusion of network science playing an important role in increasing the relevance of the framework. Using an artificial stock market created via an ABM, this paper provides a significant insight into the mechanisms that drive the returns in financial markets, including periods of elevated prices and excess volatility. The paper demonstrates that the network topology that investors form and the dividend policy of firms significantly affect the behavior of the market. However, if investors have a bias to following their neighbors then the topology becomes redundant. By successfully addressing these issues this paper helps refine and shape a variety of additional research tasks for the use of ABMs in uncovering the dynamics of financial markets.

Subjects: subject: Autism
subject: Choline

description: Food is the primary human source of choline, an essential precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which has a central role in signaling pathways that govern sensorimotor functions. Most Americans do not consume their recommended amount of dietary choline, and populations with neurodevelopmental conditions like autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be particularly vulnerable to consequences of choline deﬁciency. This study aimed to identify a relationship between ASD and cholinergic signaling through gene set enrichment analysis and interrogation of existing database evidence to produce a systems biology model. In gene set enrichment analysis, two gene ontologies were identiﬁed as overlapping for autism- related and for cholinergic pathways-related functions, both involving ion transport regulation. Subsequent modeling of ion transport intensive cholinergic signaling pathways highlighted the importance of two genes with autism-associated variants: GABBR1, which codes for the gamma aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAB 1), and KCNN2, which codes for calcium-activated, potassium ion transporting SK2 channels responsible for membrane repolarization after cholinergic binding/signal transmission events. Cholinergic signal transmission pathways related to these proteins were examined in the Pathway Studio environment. The ion transport ontological associations indicated feasibility of a dietary choline support as a low-risk therapeutic intervention capable of modulating cholinergic sensory signaling in autism. Further research at the intersection of dietary status and sensory function in autism is warranted.

subject: Cross-sectional geometry

description: This study evaluates changes in behavior that occurred within indigenous populations from the American Southwest during agricultural intensification and European colonization. Long bone diaphyses from Pueblo Bonito (A.D. 800-1200) a pre-contact Pueblo II site, and Hawikku (A.D. 1400-1680), a protohistoric Pueblo IV site were included in this work. Computed tomographic images and MomentMacro software were used to measure areas and second moments of area for adult humeri, radii, femora, and tibiae. All measurements were standardized for body size using body mass and powers of bone length. Standardized areas and second moments of area were compared between males and females from Pueblo Bonito and Hawikku using MANOVA with a Games-Howell post-hoc test. Significant differences were found in female humeral TA (p ≤ 0.000), CA (p ≤ 0.001), Ix (p ≤ 0.002), Iy (p ≤ 0.000), and J (p ≤ 0.000). Few differences were found in male humeral properties (MA) (p ≤ 0.001), female femoral properties (TA) (p ≤ 0.002), and female tibial properties (Ix/Iy) (p ≤ 0.000). These results suggest little change in mobility in accordance with the agricultural transition and European colonialism in this region. However, results do suggest changes in female upper limb activity towards more intensive patterns of labor in a colonial setting, contributing to the growing narrative of the important role of female labor in prehistoric societies as well as how females might have been affected directly and indirectly by colonialism.

title: Convergence Analysis and Bilevel Optimization Algorithms for Matrix Completion Problems
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2021

description: The soft SVD is a robust matrix decomposition algorithm and a key component of matrix completion methods. However, computing the soft SVD for large sparse matrices is often impractical using conventional numerical methods for the SVD due to large memory requirements. The Rank-Restricted Soft SVD (RRSS) algorithm introduced by Hastie et al. addressed this issue by sequentially computing low-rank SVDs that easily fit in memory. We analyze the convergence of the standard RRSS algorithm and we give examples where the standard algorithm does not converge. We show that convergence requires a modification of the standard algorithm, and is related to non-uniqueness of the SVD. Our modification specifies a consistent choice of sign for the left singular vectors of the low-rank SVDs in the iteration. Under these conditions, we prove linear convergence of the singular vectors using a technique motivated by alternating subspace iteration. We then derive a fixed point iteration for the evolution of the singular values and show linear convergence to the soft thresholded singular values of the original matrix. This last step requires a perturbation result for fixed point iterations which may be of independent interest. Next, we design a bilevel optimization scheme to find the optimal regularization parameters. Several examples, including image reconstruction, are provided which illustrate the efficacy of the approach.Our results above have wider applications in an array of optimization and matrix decomposition problems. These include optimization problems using alternative direction method and high dimensional matrix decomposition algorithms. In many practical situations, the original matrix is relatively large and not fully dense, and matrix decomposition via a simple SVD approach is not possible. Establishing the convergence of the soft thresholding algorithm guarantees the numerical stability of the scheme.

description: Abstract Performance management is one of the vital key activities performed to monitor the performance of their employees. Organizations must regularly evaluate the performance of their employees in order to understand their current and future abilities. The purpose of this paper is to assess the role of human resource management on employee and organizational performance. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design and involved a sample size of 30humanresourceexecutivesandemployeesfrom selected private organizations. Data was collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and the results presented using pie chart. The findings of the study reveal that private organizations practice performance management and have effective performance management system to appraise the enactment of their employees. Moreover, the findings reveal that there is a significant relationship between performance management and employee performance as well as between performance management and organizational performance. The study recommends the need of the private organizations to uphold and continue practicing and executing effective performance management system, also to continue assessing the performance of their employees frequently because it helps to determine training needs and at the same time acts as a motivational strategy hence leads to a better enactment of employeesandorganization.

title: MECHANISMS OF DISEASE PATHOLOGY: AN IN-VITRO INVESTIGATION OF PULMONARY FIBROBLASTS IN IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a poorly understood fibrotic disease that claims the lives of more than 40,000 Americans every year. The current pathological model of IPF describes an observed significant increase in the number of pulmonary fibroblasts, increased interstitial wall thickening, and abnormal deposition of extracellular matrix terminating in severe distortion of lung architecture. To explore the various disease pathways in IPF, our lab isolates the fibroblast from donor patients using two primary methodologies, explant outgrowth, and differential binding. In this work, we demonstrate that removing the IPF fibroblast from the disease environment changes the behavior and activity of the fibroblast. We show that the methodology used to isolate these fibroblasts has a dramatic effect on the phenotype of the fibroblast. To accomplish this, we profiled the transcriptome of the fibroblast at different stages of isolation, directly after isolation and three weeks later. In addition to enumerating the pathways that are altered, we explore some of these pathways to identify a target for therapy. Finally, we ask if there are long term changes to the epigenetic regulation of the identified pathways that may have on impact on how the cell responds to challenge. This work sheds important light on the choices that researchers make in the isolation of fibroblasts and proposes the application of multiple isolation techniques in the study of IPF pathology.

description: As the scourge of maritime piracy manifested itself in the mid-2000s off the Horn of Africa, the international community demanded a viable response. The Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia was formed in 2008 in direct response to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1851. Through its five subsequent Working Groups, the CGPCS addressed various facets of counterpiracy operations with collaboration from an array of both public and private stakeholders. The goal of this study is to analyze the multidimensional nature of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia. This policy analysis applies the logic model and its subsequent evaluation method in order to examine various decisions and milestones of the CGPCS, revealing their efficacy. Additionally, I apply a comprehensive SWOT analysis summarizing various internal strengths and weaknesses of the CGPCS, along with its external opportunities and threats. In conclusion, this thesis provides both a descriptive and analytical understanding of the CGPCS while highlighting its evolution in the context of multidimensional transnational intervention strategies.

Subjects: subject: Climate change

subject: Sovereignty

subject: Peace studies

description: Climate change threatens to produce destabilizing impacts across the globe, up to and including violent conflict. If climate change is not sufficiently mitigated, certain states, especially Small Island Developing States (SIDS), may even face the novel situation of state extinction due to disappearing territory, mass migration of citizens, or both. Although scientific studies suggest how climate change will alter environmental conditions across the globe, little is known about how leaders who will have to make critical decisions in this new and potentially cataclysmic context respond to this information. This dissertation seeks to fill this gap by examining how leaders in the Pacific understand and respond to the risks and impacts of climate change as they plan for an uncertain future. More specifically, this research investigates if and how climate change may alter conventional conceptions of statehood and sovereignty. The findings, which emerge from a comparative case study of two Pacific atoll SIDS, Kiribati and Tuvalu, whose existence is most threatened by climate change, show that Pacific leaders work to preserve their state’s existence, not only through climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies, but also by reimagining state sovereignty to include non-Western priorities. One priority is clarifying international law to preserve maritime sovereignty in perpetuity, regardless of the impacts of climate change-induced sea level rise. The second priority is including cultural sovereignty, or the ability to live according to Pacific cultural values within their homelands, as a priority in maintaining state sovereignty. The reimagining of state sovereignty that is emerging from the Pacific in the context of climate change-related uncertainty has broader implications as well. Overall, it may even serve as a starting point for examining how the Western, state-based system might be reconceptualized as the global community contends with an era of climate crisis.

description: National politics has come to resemble the far side of Alice’s looking glass; contemporary debate has been turned on its head, marked by undertones of epistemological anxiety. From fake news to alternative facts, the very concept of what is “true” has become contentious. Set against this backdrop of dysfunction, this project explores how digital technology is complicating, rather than improving, the quality of democratic debate. The crux of the argument is that social and technological trends interact to form an information environment increasingly conducive to the creation and dissemination of unjustified conviction, half-truths, and outright lies.

description: This thesis explores how the institutionalization of identity politics in governmental practices has resulted in a protracted social conflict with cyclical eruption of violence in the Republic of Lebanon. I argue that the political effects of the sectarian wars of the 1800’s have caused religious identity to become the salient social and political marker within the post independence Lebanese polity. In that direction, the incorporation of religious identity in the founding documents of the Lebanese state has institutionalized incompatible social relations and in turn has resulted in a chronic crisis of legitimacy and cyclical eruption of violence.

The Distribution Of Atomic Hydrogen In Simulated Galaxies: Morphologies, Profiles, And Hi Holes
Creators: name: Bahé, Yannick
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Discs in galaxies

description: I will present an analysis of the content, shape, and distribution of atomic hydrogen (HI) in simulated galaxies from the «Evolution and Assembly of Galaxies and their Environment» (EAGLE) project. Our analysis shows that EAGLE matches the observed relation between HI and stellar mass in unprecedented detail. Furthermore, the simulated galaxies broadly reproduce the observed HI mass-size relation, as well as measured HI density profiles. Interestingly, many simulated galaxies show large HI `holes' that lead to a mass deficit in the galactic centres; accounting for their presence leads to superb agreement of simulated galaxies with observed HI profiles. I will discuss some clues to the origin of these unphysically large holes. Finally, if time permits, I will present first results from a follow-up project aiming to understand the reasons why some galaxies contain so much more HI than others, while still obeying the same scaling relations.

description: In this episode, Amanda, Stephen, Mills, and guest Joan Troyano were joined by Digital History Fellows Spencer Roberts and Anne Ladyem McDivitt. The first topic of discussion was the announcement of the American Historical Association’s $1.6 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, through which four history departments will restructure their doctoral programs to promote diverse career options for history PhDs. The conversation then moved to the lawsuit between Duke University Press and the Social Science History Association regarding ownership of the Social Science History journal. Finally, on a completely different note, we discussed wearable computing and the implications for digital humanities, which raised lots of questions, excitement, and confusion amongst the participants. To conclude the episode, Joan provided an update from the PressForward project at CHNM, including the upcoming release of their new WordPress plugin.

description: This working paper reflects the work and lessons learned from the Reflecting on Peace Practice Project. Over an eighteen month period, RPP conducted twenty-six case studies on a wide variety of types of peace efforts, undertaken in a range of geographical settings, in different stages of conflict, at different levels of society, and with varying forms of connectedness to local, indigenous peace efforts. These case studies were done at the invitation of the agencies involved, to capture their internal reflections on their work, as well as the views of a wide range of counterparts – participants, partnering local and international NGOs and other agencies, communities affected by the work, representatives of relevant levels of government, etc. The cases were conducted through field visits to the areas where the programs were undertaken. There were also a series of consultations bringing together more than eighty peace practitioners—both those who live in conflict situations and those who work outside their own countries. These practitioners reviewed and reflected on lessons that emerged from the cases were telling us. A number of issues emerged as central to effective peace practice but around which there remain significant differences of experience and belief. These linkages between levels in peace work, the roles and relationships between “insider” and “outsider” peace agencies, and the relationship between context analysis and strategy development. Additional areas of focus included tradeoffs between working for the reduction of violence and for social justice, dealing with deliberate disruptions of peace processes, and assessing Inadvertent negative impacts.

La matematica nella Scuola secondaria di II grado, dalle sperimentazioni degli anni Ottanta al riordino del 2010
Creators: name: Tomasi, Luigi
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di ferrara
Year: 2013

description: L’articolo prende le mosse dall’analisi dei programmi sperimentali per la matematica (PNI e “Progetto Brocca”), introdotti nella scuola secondaria superiore in Italia alla fine degli anni Ottanta del secolo scorso. Propone in seguito alcune osservazioni e considerazioni didattiche sulle nuove Indicazioni nazionali per i Licei e sulle Linee guida per gli Istituti Tecnici e per gli Istituti Professionali riguardanti la matematica, che sono andate in attuazione con il Riordino della Scuola secondaria di II grado a partire dall’anno scolastico 2010-2011. In questo breve excursus si esaminerà in particolare il legame tra queste recenti indicazioni con la proposta di un nuovo curricolo, all’insegna di una “matematica per il cittadino”, elaborata da una Commissione UMI negli anni 2000-2004.

Mathematics in senior secondary school, from experimentation in the eighties to reorganisation in 2010

The paper begins with an analysis of experimental projects for mathematics (PNI and the “Brocca” Project) which were introduced into the Italian senior secondary schools at the end of the 1980s. This is followed by some considerations on teaching related to the National Recommendations for Grammar Schools and Guidelines for Technical High Schools and Vocational Schools regarding the teaching of mathematics which came into effect with the reorganisation of senior secondary schools starting from the scholastic year of 2010-2011. This brief overview examines the link between these recent recommendations with the proposal for a new curriculum, to the teaching of “mathematics for the citizen”, drafted by the UMI in the years 2000-2004.
