description: Rocky planets both in and outside of our solar system are observed to have a range of core-mass fractions (CMFs). Imperfect collisions can preferentially strip mantle material from a planet, changing its CMF, and are therefore thought to be the most likely cause of this observed CMF variation. However, previous work that implements these collisions into N-body simulations of planet formation has struggled to reliably form high CMF super-Earths. In this work, we specify our initial conditions and simulation parameters to maximize the prevalence of high-energy, CMF-changing collisions in order to form planets with highly diverse CMFs. High-energy collisions have a large $v_{imp}/v_{esc}$ ratio, so we maximize this ratio by starting simulations with high-eccentricity and inclination disks to increase the difference in their orbital velocities, maximizing $v_{imp}$. Additionally, we minimize $v_{esc}$ by starting with small embryos. The final planets undergo more high-energy, debris-producing collisions, and experience significant CMF change over their formation. However, we find that a number of processes work together to average out the CMF of a planet over time, therefore we do not consistently form high-CMF, high mass planets. We do form high-CMF planets below 0.5 $M_{\oplus}$. Additionally, we find in these highly eccentric environments, loss of debris mass due to collisional grinding has a significant effect on final planet masses and CMFs, resulting in smaller planets and a higher average planet CMF. This work highlights the importance of improving measurements of high-density planets to better constrain their CMFs.

description: The Crownsville State Hospital opened in 1913 as the first and only mental institution in the state of Maryland to serve the Black community. After 91 years of operation rife with neglect, abuse, exploitation, and other acts of inhumanity, the hospital closed and has laid virtually abandoned since. In this thesis, I will propose ways of reactivating Crownsville’s historic campus through acknowledging the property’s horrific past, by providing support and amenities to the region’s most vulnerable individuals, and by creating space to celebrate the identity of communities who were historically persecuted on the grounds. I will explore the Crownsville campus through the lens of a cultural landscape, and attempt to balance the preservation of existing assets with the development of new community features.
title: Second-order characteristics of multi-level elections in Spain
Creators: name: De la Cruz, Megan J.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
This thesis project applies the second-order framework to compare levels of elections in Spain. I pay special interest to the link between the country's electoral timing, territorial cleavages, and central-regional dynamic. The project implements two tests, one to measure vote choice in relation to general election expectations and cycles, and another to measure voter volatility between first- and second-order levels. Both tests are broken down by regional electorates and applied to elections to the European Parliament and regional assemblies. In light of the varying levels of decentralization found among Spanish regions, I expect test results to vary between regions that are more and less devolved from the center. I also hypothesize that European-level data will more strongly adhere to second-order expectations due to the differential of power between the two types of legislative bodies. My principal finding is that, from a second-order lens, most of Spain's voting behavior in European Parliament elections can be explained. In contrast, irregular voting patterns indicate a detachment of voter logic between general and regional elections.

description: This short technical paper presents a new standard model for Elementary Particles. All elementary particle are related by simple math. This math is similar to the math used for wifi signals and it is called 1024-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation). The 1024-QAM table graphically displays how all elementary particles are related, similar to the Standard Periodic Table in chemistry. If we line up all of the particle masses in order, we find there are a number of "gaps." These are called the mass gaps, and they line up perfectly with the simple math of 1024-QAM. Even a child can see the simple pattern.
The mathematical pattern provides proof that the Top Quark is a Boson.  Supersymmetry (SUSY) is also found to occur with 1024-QAM. Mass Groups 1 thru 8 have heavyweight counterparts which are found in Mass Groups 9 thru 16.  4 new particles are predicted to be discovered between 1 to 15 TeV, and 4 new particles are predicted to be discovered between 50 to 200 TeV. Numerous other new particles are predicted using 1024-QAM. This short ebook provides compelling evidence that our universe is literally blinking, off and on, at 1.1 THz.

description: The generation of light endowed with orbital angular momentum, frequently termed optical vortex light, is commonly achieved by passing a conventional beam through suitably constructed optical elements. This Letter shows that the necessary phase structure for vortex propagation can be directly produced through the creation of twisted light from the vacuum. The mechanism is based on optical emission from a family of chromophore nano-arrays that satisfy specific geometric and symmetry constraints. Each such array can support pairs of electronically delocalized doubly degenerate excitons whose azimuthal phase progression is responsible for the helical wave-front of the emitted radiation. The exciton symmetry dictates the maximum magnitude of topological charge; detailed analysis secures the conditions necessary to deliver optical vortices of arbitrary topological charge.

description: We study the ordinary differential equation ${\varepsilon}\ddot x+\dot x + {\varepsilon} g(x) = {\varepsilon} f(ωt)$, with $f$ and $g$ analytic and $f$ quasi-periodic in $t$ with frequency vector $ω\in R^{d}$. We show that if there exists $c_0\in R$ such that $g(c_0)$ equals the average of $f$ and the first non-zero derivative of $g$ at $c_0$ is of odd order $n$, then, for ${\varepsilon}$ small enough and under very mild Diophantine conditions on $ω$, there exists a quasi-periodic solution close to $c_0$, with the same frequency vector as $f$. In particular if $f$ is a trigonometric polynomial the Diophantine condition on $ω$ can be completely removed. This extends results previously available in the literature for $n=1$. We also point out that, if $n=1$ and the first derivative of $g$ at $c_0$ is positive, then the quasi-periodic solution is locally unique and attractive.

description: Identification of Cherenkov light generated by muons has been suggested as a promising way to dramatically improve the background rejection power of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) arrays at high energies. However, muon identification remains a challenging task, for which efficient algorithms are still being developed. We present an approach in which, rather than identifying Cherenkov light from muons, we simply consider the presence of Cherenkov light other than the main shower image in IACTs with large mirror area. We show that in the case of the H.E.S.S. array of five telescopes this approach results in background rejection improvements at all energies above 1 TeV. In particular, the rejection power can be improved by a factor $\sim3-4$ at energies above 20 TeV while keeping $\sim90\%$ of the original gamma-ray efficiency.

description: Understanding the origin of hysteresis in the channel resistance from top gated graphene transistors is important for transistor applications. Capacitance - voltage measurements across the gate oxide on top gated bilayer graphene show hysteresis with a charging and discharging time constant of ~100 μs. However, the measured capacitance across the graphene channel does not show any hysteresis, but shows an abrupt jump at a high channel voltage due to the emergence of an order, indicating that the origin of hysteresis between gate and source is due to charge traps present in the gate oxide and graphene interface.

description: We consider iron impurities in the noble metals gold and silver and compare experimental data for the resistivity and decoherence rate to numerical renormalization group results. By exploiting non-Abelian symmetries we show improved numerical data for both quantities as compared to previous calculations [Costi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 056802 (2009)], using the discarded weight as criterion to reliably judge the quality of convergence of the numerical data. In addition we also carry out finite-temperature calculations for the magnetoresistivity of fully screened Kondo models with S = 1/2, 1 and 3/2, and compare the results with available measurements for iron in silver, finding excellent agreement between theory and experiment for the spin-3/2 three-channel Kondo model. This lends additional support to the conclusion of Costi et al. that the latter model provides a good effective description of the Kondo physics of iron impurities in gold and silver.

description: Understanding the interplay of structural and electronic symmetry breaking in Fe-based high temperature superconductors remains of high interest. In this work we grow strain-patterned multilayer FeSe thin films in a range of thicknesses using molecular beam epitaxy. We study the formation of electronic nematic domains and spatially-varying strain using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. We directly visualize the formation of edge dislocations that give rise to a two-dimensional edge dislocation network in the films. Interestingly, we observe a 45 degree in-plane rotation of the dislocation network as a function of film thickness, yielding antisymmetric strain along different directions. This results in different coupling ratios between electronic nematic domains and antisymmetric strain. Lastly, we are able to distinguish between different orthogonal nematic domains by revealing a small energy-dependent difference in differential conductance maps between the two regions. This could be explained by orbital-selective tip-sample tunneling. Our observations bring new insights into the dislocation network formation in epitaxial thin films and provide another nanoscale tool to explore electronic nematicity in Fe-based superconductors.

description: Dense stellar environments as hosts of ongoing star formation increase the probability of gravitational encounters among stellar systems during the early stages of evolution. Stellar interaction may occur through non-recurring, hyperbolic or parabolic passages (a so-called 'fly-by'), through secular binary evolution, or through binary capture. In all three scenarios, the strong gravitational perturbation is expected to manifest itself in the disc structures around the individual stars. Here, we present near-infrared polarised light observations that were taken with the SPHERE/IRDIS instrument of three known interacting twin-disc systems: AS 205, EM* SR 24, and FU Orionis. The scattered light exposes spirals likely caused by the gravitational interaction. On a larger scale, we observe connecting filaments between the stars. We analyse their very complex polarised intensity and put particular attention to the presence of multiple light sources in these systems. The local angle of linear polarisation indicates the source whose light dominates the scattering process from the bridging region between the two stars. Further, we show that the polarised intensity from scattering with multiple relevant light sources results from an incoherent summation of the individuals' contribution. This can produce nulls of polarised intensity in an image, as potentially observed in AS 205. We discuss the geometry and content of the systems by comparing the polarised light observations with other data at similar resolution, namely with ALMA continuum and gas emission. Collective observational data can constrain the systems' geometry and stellar trajectories, with the important potential to differentiate between dynamical scenarios of stellar interaction.

description: The development of large-scale infrastructure, including electricity generation projects (EGPs) like hydroelectric dams, often displaces entire local communities with little retribution for the loss of homes or livelihoods. While these projects are portrayed as beneficial to the state overall, in some cases, the resulting displacement can exacerbate grievances and intensify conflict in the areas surrounding them. But why does the construction of certain EGPs result in violent conflict, while others result in lower intensity conflicts (e.g., protests), and some produce no conflict at all? Through a small-N case study analysis of four EGPs in Sub- Saharan Africa, this article will explore this localized relationship between EGPs and conflict in the surrounding area and probe the two proposed causal mechanisms, physical and economic displacement, which may be driving this relationship.

description:
The stereotyping of lesbians includes both a traditional masculine, "butch" lesbian and a feminine, sexualized lesbian. The perception of lesbianism as erotic extends throughout mainstream society, with images of lesbianism targeted to heterosexual men in advertising, film, and pornography. If men do not perceive lesbians as either inherently bisexual or hypersexual, why are lesbians eroticized by heterosexual men? Here, subliminal priming with homosexual or heterosexual male or females primes was designed to elicit chronically accessible eroticization of lesbianism. Findings revealed that, contrary to expectations, priming with heterosexual-female prime sets did not increase reported erotic value of lesbianism relative to other prime sets; however, homosexual-male priming did increase reported erotic value of lesbianism.

In this study, we analyzed polygraphy data from patients with heart failure related central sleep apnea. We compared the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) during a baseline night with that during a night where acoustic stimulation was applied for 40 minutes before bedtime. Seven out of eight patients showed a significant reduction in AHI during the intervention night (p < 0.01). These preliminary findings suggest that further investigation in a more controlled environment is warranted.

Abstract
Elivaldogene autotemcel (SKYSONA™, eli-cel; Lenti-D™ gene therapy) is a gene therapy that has been developed by bluebird bio for the treatment of cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD), a rare, X-linked genetic disease that mainly affects the nervous system and adrenal glands. In July 2021, elivaldogene autotemcel received its first approval (in the EU) for the treatment of for the treatment of early CALD in patients < 18 years of age, with an ABCD1 genetic mutation, and for whom a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) donor is not available. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of elivaldogene autotemcel leading to this first approval.

description: Communities across the country, and beyond, suffer from food insecurity due to Food Desert conditions. Food deserts persist due to lack of reasonable access to nutritious foods, often as a result of distance to the nearest grocery store or market. Minorities, impoverished areas, and otherwise marginalized peoples are particularly subject to this inadequate access to healthful foods and produce. Existing infrastructures and urban planning provide little relief, particularly for those communities that wish to become more self-reliant by establishing greenspaces devoted to urban agriculture (UA). Zoning, local regulations, costs, and access to viable soil and clean water compound the challenges that inhibit a transition from consumer (reliant) to producer (provider). While there are many factors that contribute to the commonness of Food Deserts, the following proposal shows how rethinking urban design approach can, at various scales, provide meaningful relief by way of UA to those in need of nutritious supplements to their diets.This design scheme must be scalable, affordable, and resilient while also being applicable to a variety of build scenarios including new construction, renovation, and repurposing. As such, this proposal rethinks urban design strategies from a theoretical standpoint and exemplifies the execution of this theory in the neighborhood of Harlem Park, Baltimore, MD, that currently and historically suffers from food desert conditions. The scale of this neighborhood will allow the execution of urban planning aspects, community integration strategies, and individual household or unit-scale production to be showcased. Many UA initiatives have proven successful across the country and will serve as a basis by which to quantify the potential impact and effectiveness of this new design proposal in terms of initial and upkeep costs, volume of produce, and sustainability.

description:
Snap Shots is a creation story, an origin story, founded from an old cardboard box of photographs. While it is not about adoption, it is written through the eyes of an orphan, a foster child, an adopted person, a mother, a wife, a woman. It is a work of honesty, of courage, of pain, of love, and of acceptance. Inspired and influenced by the work of Lawrence Sutin, specifically A Postcard Memoir, this work is the culmination of an intense and exciting dive into the genre of creative nonfiction. Unlike Sutin's collection of found objects over years of random scouring of antiques stores, Snap Shots is literally, and metaphorically, a photo album of me, my people (as much as anyone can have their own people), and profound parts of my life. An album that is not stagnate and placed on a shelf to become dusty and never opened again, but one that goes through change over time, with the photos and stories being rearranged, replaced, renewed. While the book is bound, its intention is to never really be done. As I continue my career and life as a writer, I hope to always return to these photos and this life and, many years from now when I am a very old woman, still look fondly at these photos and read these stories, smile, and learn.

description: This thesis is a community-informed exploration of South Baltimore’s Westport and Curtis Bay neighborhoods. It is about listening, empathizing, and starting the design process with these communities and then exploring forms and spaces that can serve current community anchors and community needs while acknowledging complicated histories. In the U.S., the pattern of redlining and disinvestment of resources from communities of color is sometimes followed by re-investment that leads to physical and/or cultural displacement of long-time residents. The Baltimore Harbor is experiencing pressure of potentially speculative gentrifying re-investment that would serve future hypothetical residents instead of existing ones. The design intent is to empower residents to stay, strengthen, and feel a sense of belonging in their home neighborhoods.

title: Predation and thermal stress affect color change in the symbiotic sea anemone Aiptasia
Creators: name: Hamlin, Samantha L.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2009

description:
Bleaching is the disruption of the symbiotic relationship between anthozoans and zooxanthellae. The term bleaching refers to the host appearing lighter--sometimes becoming completely white--as a result of losing their symbiotic dinoflagellates, their photosynthetic pigments, or both. Research has demonstrated that many abiotic factors, such as temperature, ultraviolet radiation, and salinity, cause bleaching. However, we know little about the role that biotic factors, such as predation, may play in coral bleaching. Additionally, little is known about the combined effects of different stressors, and whether these effects are additive or not. If effects are synergistic and difficult to predict, then much more research is needed to understand how coral reefs will respond to climate change. Using Aiptasia spp. as a model for coral, I investigated whether predators affect the anemones' response to thermal stress with a fully crossed 2-factor experiment. Using digital photography and color analysis to measure red, green, and blue color change, I determined that predation caused anemones to become darker over time when compared to anemones that were not preyed on. Specifically, there was a significant predator effect when analyzing the change in blue and green color values. The magnitude of mean color change for the predator treatment was up to three times the change for the anemones that were not preyed on. These results suggest that predation actually makes the organism more resilient, thereby lessening the bleaching response. This would imply that a certain degree of coral grazing may be beneficial, which indicates that overfishing may have effects more far-reaching than previously suspected. Additionally, the effects of temperature and predators were additive, which suggests that we can predict the combined effects of thermal and predation stress from experiments that manipulated only a single factor.

description: Live coding—synchronously writing software in front of students for the purpose of teaching—can be an effective method for engaging students and instilling practical programming skills. However, not all live coding sessions are effective and not all instructors are successful in this challenging task. We present results from an interview study involving university instructors,teaching assistants, and students identifying both barriers and benefits of live coding. We also designed and collected participant feedback on a prototype live coding tool to better facilitate learner engagement with the live coding pedagogical practice. Finally, we use this feedback to propose guidelines for how to design tools to support effective live coding in the classroom. This work advances our understanding of the benefits and challenges of live coding in university computer science instruction and highlights potential future work on the design of tools to better support this productive instructional practice.

description: We present a study of the spectral linewidth of collimated blue light (CBL) that results from wave mixing of low-power cw laser radiation at 780 nm and 776 nm and an internally-generated mid-IR field at 5.23 um in Rb vapour. Using a high-finesse Fabry-Perot interferometer the spectral width of the CBL is found to be less than 1.3 MHz for a wide range of experimental conditions. We demonstrate that the CBL linewidth is mainly limited by the temporal coherence of the applied laser fields rather than the atom-light interaction itself. Results obtained with frequency modulated laser light allow an upper limit of several hundred kHz to be set for the linewidth of the collimated mid-IR radiation at 5.23 um, which has not been directly detected.

description: Tunability of the surface plasmon resonance wavelength is demonstrated by varying the thickness of Al2O3 spacer layer inserted between the graphene and nanoparticles. By varying the spacer layer thickness from 0.3 to 1.8 nm, the resonance wavelength is shifted from 583 to 566 nm. The shift is due to a change in the electromagnetic field coupling strength between the localized surface plasmons excited in the gold nanoparticles and a single layer graphene film. In contrast, when the graphene film is absent from the system, no noticeable shift in the resonance wavelength is observed upon varying the spacer thickness.

description: The improvement of medical care quality is a significant interest for the future years. The fight against nosocomial infections (NI) in the intensive care units (ICU) is a good example. We will focus on a set of observations which reflect the dynamic aspect of the decision, result of the application of a Medical Decision Support System (MDSS). This system has to make dynamic decision on temporal data. We use dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) to model this dynamic process. It is a temporal reasoning within a real-time environment; we are interested in the Dynamic Decision Support Systems in healthcare domain (MDDSS).

title: Improving Engagement of Construction Industry Firms in Apprenticeship Training in a Post-Recession Economy
Creators: name: Ó Murchadha, Eoghan
name: Murphy, Roisin
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2017

description: The Irish economy is currently experiencing a recovery phase following a ‘lost decade’ of growth due to the severe economic downturn of 2007. While the construction industry in Ireland is recording increased output, and improving rates of employment, in the vital economic and labour market sector of apprenticeship there is a significant lack of engagement. Without employer buy-in to apprenticeship training, there exists potential future skills gaps and lack of efficacy of the construction industry. This increasingly likely possibility is disquieting, not just for the possible impact upon the future of apprenticeship but also for the Irish economy as a whole, given its reliance upon the capacity of the construction sector to deliver domestic requirements and meet the building and infrastructural needs of foreign direct investment.
Isogeny classes of abelian varieties with no principal polarizations

description: We provide a simple method of constructing isogeny classes of abelian varieties over certain fields $k$ such that no variety in the isogeny class has a principal polarization. In particular, given a field $k$, a Galois extension $\ell$ of $k$ of odd prime degree $p$, and an elliptic curve $E$ over $k$ that has no complex multiplication over $k$ and that has no $k$-defined $p$-isogenies to another elliptic curve, we construct a simple $(p-1)$-dimensional abelian variety $X$ over $k$ such that every polarization of every abelian variety isogenous to $X$ has degree divisible by $p^2$. We note that for every odd prime $p$ and every number field $k$, there exist $\ell$ and $E$ as above. We also provide a general framework for determining which finite group schemes occur as kernels of polarizations of abelian varieties in a given isogeny class. Our construction was inspired by a similar construction of Silverberg and Zarhin; their construction requires that the base field $k$ have positive characteristic and that there be a Galois extension of $k$ with a certain non-abelian Galois group. Note: Theorem 3.2 in this paper is incorrect. The current version of the paper includes comments explaining the mistake.

A note on order-type homogeneous point sets

description: Let OT_d(n) be the smallest integer N such that every N-element point sequence in R^d in general position contains an order-type homogeneous subset of size n, where a set is order-type homogeneous if all (d+1)-tuples from this set have the same orientation. It is known that a point sequence in R^d that is order-type homogeneous forms the vertex set of a convex polytope that is combinatorially equivalent to a cyclic polytope in R^d. Two famous theorems of Erdos and Szekeres from 1935 imply that OT_1(n) = Theta(n^2) and OT_2(n) = 2^(Theta(n)). For d \geq 3, we give new bounds for OT_d(n). In particular: 1. We show that OT_3(n) = 2^(2^(Theta(n))), answering a question of Eliáš and Matoušek. 2. For d \geq 4, we show that OT_d(n) is bounded above by an exponential tower of height d with O(n) in the topmost exponent.

description: Innovation is vital in various fields, and analogical thinking is a powerful tool for gen- erating creative solutions to complex problems. However, recognizing analogies can be time- consuming, and successful recognition doesn’t guarantee their adoption in innovation. In this thesis, A novel computational support system for analogical innovation is proposed that employs the cognitive mechanisms for chunking and recombination as mediums of interaction. Chunking involves identifying and extracting meaningful chunks or segments from a design problem into interactive tiles called magnets while recombination involves combining these magnets to gener- ate insightful questions that elicit divergent thinking. In this way, the proposed system aims to streamline the process of recognizing and selecting analogical inspirations for innovation while avoiding premature rejection and design fixation.To evaluate the effectiveness of the system, a within-subjects study involving 23 participants was conducted, comparing the proposed interface with a baseline. The study found that using chunking and recombination as interactive mechanisms helped prevent premature rejection of useful analogical leads, resulting in 4 times fewer ignored analogical leads. Participants were also found to make 12 times fewer changes to their decisions, given a minor increment in processing time in the order of 1.5 minutes. Overall, these results suggest that our proposed intervention is an effective tool for facilitating the selection of beneficial analogies, fostering analogical innovation through computational support.
