description: We investigate the orbital motion of the Quintuplet cluster near the Galactic center with the aim of constraining formation scenarios of young, massive star clusters in nuclear environments. Three epochs of adaptive optics high-angular resolution imaging with Keck/NIRC2 and VLT/NACO were obtained over a time baseline of 5.8 years, delivering an astrometric accuracy of 0.5-1 mas/yr. Proper motions were derived in the cluster reference frame and were used to distinguish cluster members from the majority of field stars. Fitting the cluster and field proper motion distributions with 2D gaussian models, we derive the orbital motion of the cluster for the first time. The Quintuplet is moving with a 2D velocity of 132 +/- 15 km/s with respect to the field along the Galactic plane, which yields a 3D orbital velocity of 167 +/- 15 km/s when combined with the previously known radial velocity. From a sample of 119 stars measured in three epochs, we derive an upper limit to the velocity dispersion in the core of the Quintuplet cluster of sigma_1D < 10 km/s. Knowledge of the three velocity components of the Quintuplet allows us to model the cluster orbit in the potential of the inner Galaxy. Comparing the Quintuplet's orbit with the Arches orbit, we discuss the possibility that both clusters originated in the same area of the central molecular zone. [abridged]

description: With the emergence of 5G/mm-Wave communication, there is a growing need for novel front-end electromechanical devices in filtering and carrier generation applications. CMOS-MEMS resonators fabricated using state-of-the-art Integrated Circuit (IC) manufacturing processes provide a significant advantage for power, area and cost savings. In this work, a comprehensive physics-based compact model capable of capturing the non-linear behaviour and other non-idealities has been developed for MEMS resonators seamlessly integrated in CMOS. As the first large signal model for CMOS-embedded resonators, it enables holistic design of MEMS components with advanced CMOS circuits as well as system-level performance evaluation within the framework of modern IC design tools. Global Foundries 14nm FinFET (GF14LPP) Resonant Body Transistors (fRBT) operating at 11.8 GHz are demonstrated and benchmarked against this large-signal electromechanical model.
 Additionally, there is a growing interest in CMOS-integrable ferroelectric materials such as Hafnium Dioxide (HfO2) and Aluminum Scandium Nitride (AlScN) for next-generation memory and computation, as well as electromechanical transduction in CMOS-MEMS devices. This work also explores the performance of 700 MHz Ferroelectric Capacitor-based resonators in the Texas Instruments HPE035 process under high-power operating conditions. Identification of previously unreported characteristics, together with the first nonlinear large signal model for integrated ferroelectric resonators, provides insights on the design of frequency references and acoustic filters using ferroelectric transducers.
 Extending the range of unreleased CMOS-MEMS resonators to lower frequency using novel design, we also investigate embedded transducers in chip-scale devices for physical sensing. We have simulated and modeled the transducer coupling for low-frequency propagating modes and benchmarked their projected performance against state-of-the-art conventional MEMS sensors. A new approach to phononic crystal (PnC) Interdigitated Transducers (IDTs) is presented emulating the acoustic dispersion in conventional ICs. Unloaded quality factors up to 15,000 have been measured in $\sim$80 MHz resonators, demonstrating their capacity for resonant rotation sensing. We present a unique methodology to amplify and collimate acoustic waves using CMOS-design-rule-compliant Graded Index (GRIN) Phononic IDTs. Ultimately, the CMOS-MEMS techniques presented in this work for both RF applications and physical sensing can facilitate additional functionality in standard CMOS and emerging 3D heterogeneously integrated (3DHI) ICs with minor or no modifications to manufacturing and packaging. This enables new paradigms in next-generation communications, internet of things (IoT), and hardware security.

description: This dissertation presents continuum and discrete approaches to the statics of masonry vaults. The thrust surface concept is introduced within Heyman’s safe theorem and extends the funicular curve to the3D case. A variational formulation of the truss network of masonry vaults is presented and allows to search a‘safe’ thrust surface within a design domain. Such a model is based on a scalar potential φ of the stress carried by the thrust surface S (Airy’s stress function) and polyhedral approximations to φ, by a predictor-corrector strategy based on the convex hull technique (no-tension model). In the same way, a static load multiplier for curved structures is iteratively obtained and validated, by increasing the live loads over several steps and verifying, for each interaction, the existence of a corresponding statically admissible state of equilibrium via lumped stress method. Using this approach, we can observe potential cracks,where the stress state is unidirectional. A tensegrity model of reinforced vaults is also proposed and allows to perform a design minimal mass reinforcements of masonry vaults under static and seismic loads. Several case studies of unreinforced and reinforced masonry vaults are presented and discussed. [edited by Author]

description: Recently, the idea of valorizing industrial agro-food wastes and microalgal biomass, through an efficient recovery of their major bioactive constituents to be used as ingredients in food, feed, pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors, is gaining interest, due to the increasing demand of consumers for natural products. However, the extraction of these compounds is problematic, due to the presence of a “physical barrier” (cell wall/membrane) when removing intracellular substances. Pre-treatment stage (thermal, mechanical or enzymatic) to permeabilise cellular tissues and facilitate the diffusion of the intracellular compounds in the external medium are required, together with the use of large amount of organic solvents and long contact times. This lead to high energy consumption, the formation of undesired compounds as well as to the eventual degradation of the target molecules to be recovered. Physical pretreatments operations have been proposed in the last year to overcome these problems and among them Pulsed electric fields (PEF) technology has shown promising results as to obtain mild, sustainable and efficient permeabilisation of cell membranes with respect to conventional cell disintegration methods. PEF consists in exposing biological cells to repetitive short voltage pulses (μs – ms in width) with an electric field strength in the range 0.5 - 50 kV/cm and an energy input up to 150 kJ/kg, mainly depending on cell size and morphology. This technique exploits its potential via the “electroporation” of membranes, which rapidly favors the leakage of valuable compounds from the cells. ... [edited by Author]

description: Prolidase deficiency (PD) is a multisystem disorder caused by mutations in the PEPD gene, which encodes a ubiquitously expressed metallopeptidase essential for the hydrolysis of dipeptides containing C-terminal proline or hydroxyproline. PD typically presents in childhood with developmental delay, skin ulcers, recurrent infections, and, in some patients, autoimmune features that can mimic systemic lupus erythematosus. The basis for the autoimmune association is uncertain, but might be due to self-antigen exposure with tissue damage, or indirectly driven by chronic infection and microbial burden. In this study, we address the question of causation and show that Pepd-null mice have increased antinuclear autoantibodies and raised serum IgA, accompanied by kidney immune complex deposition, consistent with a systemic lupus erythematosus-like disease. These features are associated with an accumulation of CD4 and CD8 effector T cells in the spleen and liver. Pepd deficiency leads to spontaneous T cell activation and proliferation into the effector subset, which is cell intrinsic and independent of Ag receptor specificity or antigenic stimulation. However, an increase in KLRG1+ effector CD8 cells is not observed in mixed chimeras, in which the autoimmune phenotype is also absent. Our findings link autoimmune susceptibility in PD to spontaneous T cell dysfunction, likely to be acting in combination with immune activators that lie outside the hemopoietic system but result from the abnormal metabolism or loss of nonenzymatic prolidase function. This knowledge provides insight into the role of prolidase in the maintenance of self-tolerance and highlights the importance of treatment to control T cell activation.

Applying Spiking Neural Nets to Noise Shaping

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Emerging Technologies (cs.ET)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: -In recent years, there has been an increased focus on the mechanics of information transmission in spiking neural networks. Especially the Noise Shaping properties of these networks and their similarity to Delta-Sigma Modulators has received a lot of attention. However, very little of the research done in this area has focused on the effect the weights in these networks have on the Noise Shaping properties and on post- processing of the network output signal. This paper concerns itself with the various modes of network operation and beneficial as well as detrimental effects which the systematic generation of network weights can effect. Also, a method for post-processing of the spiking output signal is introduced, bringing the output signal more in line with conventional Delta-Sigma Modulators. Relevancy of this research to industrial application of neural nets as building blocks of oversampled A/D converters is shown. Also, further points of contention are listed, which must be thoroughly researched to add to the above mentioned applicability of spiking neural nets.
title: Empathic Communication: Lifespan Influences and Transgressional Associations in Military Romantic Relationships
Creators: name: Le Van, Samantha Faith
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the influences and transgressional associations of empathic communication in military romantic relationships. Through varying attachment styles, deployments, and combat experience, soldiers have a unique set of circumstances that impact the use of empathic communication in relationships. Since the effectiveness of empathic communication is also limited by unreliable communicative technologies, infidelity effects were also tested. A 66-item online survey was placed on Survey Monkey with links from social media networking websites, like Facebook and Twitter. Surveys were anonymous and only taken by soldiers who had experienced at least one deployment. The goodness of fit of the path model was found to be significant. Empathy and empathic communication were mediators between reliability of communication technologies on deployment and communicative infidelity. In future studies, the causes of communicative infidelity should be further explored in military relationships.

Topological Solitons

description: Skyrmions are a class of solitons, which are both topologically stable, meaning that their vacuum manifold has a non-trivial π_3 homotopy group, and energetically stable, meaning that they are local minima of the field energy. The non-linear sigma model is an effective hadronic field theory, based on a triplet of pion fields, which is a low energy approximation to QCD. With the addition of the Skyrme term, this approximate model may be improved to yield skyrmion solutions. Further improvements to the model allow us to give the pion fields mass. By considering a 'spherically symmetric', energy-minimising skyrmion solution corresponding to a winding number of B=1, we deduce that the skyrmion has a mass of ~1 GeV and a RMS radius of ~1 fm. By imposing CPT symmetry on the theory, we require the addition of the Wess-Zumino term to the action. From a calculation of the Noether charge corresponding to the baryon number symmetry group, U(1)_V, we deduce that the baryon number corresponds to the winding number of the skyrmion, which suggests that skyrmions are the baryons of QCD. By canonically quantizing the rotation of the B=1 skyrmion and imposing electromagnetic gauge, we deduce the spin, isospin and physical electric charge. This supports the hypothesis that skyrmions correspond to baryons, and we identify the skyrmions corresponding to the proton and the neutron. Extending the theory, we discuss how light nuclei, with B<7, may be successfully modeled using the single rational map ansatz. We briefly review the complications that arise when modeling larger nuclei (B≥7) and show that certain higher-order skyrmions may be successfully constructed using geometric rational map ansätze based on the Skyrme crystal.

description: We present optical template spectra, bolometric corrections, and $χ$ values for ultracool dwarfs. The templates are based on spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Astrophysical Research Consortium 3.5-m telescope. The spectral features and overall shape of the L dwarf templates are consistent with previous spectroscopic standards and the templates have a radial velocity precision of $\sim$10--20 km s$^{-1}$. We calculate bolometric fluxes (accurate to 10--20\%) for 101 late-M and L dwarfs from SDSS, 2MASS, and WISE photometry, SDSS spectra, and BT-Settl model spectra. We find that the $z$- and $J$-band bolometric corrections for late-M and L dwarfs have a strong correlation with $z-J$ and $J-K_S$ colors respectively. The new $χ$ values, which can be used to convert H$α$ equivalent widths to activity strength, are based on spectrophotometrically calibrated SDSS spectra and the new bolometric fluxes. While the measured $χ$ values have typical uncertainties of $\sim$20\%, ultracool dwarf models show the continuum surrounding H$α$ can vary by up to an order of magnitude with changing surface gravity. Our semi-empirical $χ$ values are one to two orders of magnitude larger than previous $χ$ values for mid- to late-L dwarfs, indicating that the upper limits for H$α$ activity strength on the coolest L dwarfs have been underestimated.

description: In a transformation method the numerical solution of a given boundary value problem is obtained by solving one or more related initial value problems. This paper is concerned with the application of the iterative transformation method to the Sakiadis problem. This method is an extension of the Toepfer's non-iterative algorithm developed as a simple way to solve the celebrated Blasius problem. As shown by this author [Appl. Anal., 66 (1997) pp. 89-100] the method provides a simple numerical test for the existence and uniqueness of solutions. Here we show how the method can be applied to problems with a homogeneous boundary conditions at infinity and in particular we solve the Sakiadis problem of boundary layer theory. Moreover, we show how to couple our method with Newton's root-finder. The obtained numerical results compare well with those available in literature. The main aim here is that any method developed for the Blasius, or the Sakiadis, problem might be extended to more challenging or interesting problems. In this context, the iterative transformation method has been recently applied to compute the normal and reverse flow solutions of Stewartson for the Falkner-Skan model [Comput. & Fluids, 73 (2013) pp. 202-209].

description: We consider random deposition of debris or blocks on a line, with block sizes following a rigorous hierarchy: the linear size equals $1/λ^n$ in generation $n$, in terms of a rescaling factor $λ$. Without interactions between the blocks, this model is described by a logarithmic fractal, studied previously, which is characterized by a constant increment of the length, area or volume upon proliferation. We study to what extent the logarithmic fractality survives, if each block is equipped with an Ising (pseudo-)spin $s=\pm 1$ and the interactions between those spins are switched on (ranging from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic). It turns out that the dependence of the surface topology on the interaction sign and strength is not trivial. For instance, deep in the ferromagnetic regime, our numerical experiments and analytical results reveal a sharp crossover from a Euclidean transient, consisting of aggregated domains of aligned spins, to an asymptotic logarithmic fractal growth. In contrast, deep into the antiferromagnetic regime the surface roughness is important and is shown analytically to be controlled by vacancies induced by frustrated spins. Finally, in the weak interaction regime, we demonstrate that the non-interacting model is extremal in the sense that the effect of the introduction of interactions is only quadratic in the magnetic coupling strength. In all regimes, we demonstrate the adequacy of a mean-field approximation whenever vacancies are rare. In sum, the logarithmic fractal character is robust with respect to the introduction of spatial correlations in the hierarchical deposition process.

We develop a novel method to measure the clustering of extragalactic populations that uses photometric redshift Probability Distribution Functions in addition to any spectroscopy. This is advantageous in that all sources in the sample are used in the clustering analysis, not just the subset with secure spectroscopy. The method works best for large samples. The loss of accuracy because of the lack of spectroscopy is balanced by increasing the number of sources used to measure the clustering. We find that X-ray AGN, far-infrared selected star-forming galaxies and passive systems in the redshift interval 0.6

The method turns out to be robust against imperfections and disorder of the static lattice Hamiltonian, is tolerant to next-nearest neighborhood interactions, and enables coherent transport in long chains without the need for a local control and timing of the trapping potential.

“Detecting” the Specters of Chicano/a Past in Lucha Corpi’s “Eulogy for a Brown Angel”
Creators: name: Mazzola, Fabiola
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2021

description: Since its first affirmation at the end of the nineteenth century, the detective genre has been highly debated: on the one hand it represented a very popular genre, but on the other hand it has always been considered “inferior,” receiving scant academic attention. Nevertheless, during the 1960s and 1970s, hard-boiled fiction got a new boost due to the increasing recognition from both a wider audience and critics. It also became one of the means through which multicultural writers could explore society and deal with issues such as gender and ethnicity. The aim of the present article is to show how detective fiction has been rethought from both a multicultural and a postfeminist perspective, to give voice to those deprived of it, through an analysis of Lucha Corpi’s first detective novel, Eulogy for a Brown Angel (1992), and of her heroine, detective Gloria Damasco. In the novel the past and the history of the Chicano/a Movement overwhelmingly re-emerges, in Derrida’s words, as a specter to resume its fights after an unforgettable disillusion.

A Model to Assess the Use of Reference Architecture in Responding to Disruptive Innovation: A Higher Education Case
Creators: name: Valkering, Richard
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: reference architecture
disruptive innovation
higher education
assessment model
bimodal reference architecture

description: This master thesis looks at the use of reference architecture in supporting the challenges of potential disruptive innovations. It looks at higher education in the Netherlands, with the Higher Education Reference Architecture (HORA) as a reference architecture. It studies the function of reference architecture and the dynamics of disruptive innovation in higher education, and how the use of HORA in this context can be improved. The focus of this research is on reference architecture used for business design or redesign. Reference architecture is defined as an architecture which is intended by its producer to be used in supporting the construction of another architecture. For the assessment of HORA, an Assessment Model has been developed. This Assessment Model is based on the premise that a reference architecture supports the challenges in two processes: (1) an architect making an architecture description based on a reference architecture, and (2) a stakeholder using this architecture description to address their concerns. The Assessment Model was used in expert meetings with enterprise and domain architects working in higher education and representatives from HORA. The use of the Assessment Model proved successful in gathering information and provided new insights for the participants of the expert meetings. Reflecting on the use of reference architecture in this context, this thesis comes to the conclusion that a new way of looking at reference architecture is needed: a bimodal reference architecture. This bimodal reference architecture contains both stable elements describing the real world, as well as elements about upcoming innovations.

Narrating the Nuclear Armageddon
Creators: name: Santese, Angela
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2021

description: During the 1980s, the idea that a nuclear war could materialize led not only to an unprecedented antinuclear mobilization in the US and Europe and to a public conversation on these themes, but also to a series of cultural initiatives designed to alert public opinion and politicians to the atomic peril. In this political and social context, key cultural moments can be detected in the book Fate of the Earth, in the initiatives that revolved around the Nuclear Winter Scenario, and in the TV movie The Day After. Using primary sources and through an historical approach, this article aims at analyzing how these cultural products described the consequences of a nuclear war on the planet, highlighting also the environmental costs of a nuclear war, and their impact on US public opinion and media. Moreover it discusses how the scheduled airings of The Day After in 1983 became the arena for a political and media clash between the Ronald Reagan Administration and the antinuclear movement, since both actors indeed tried to exploit the film to influence public opinion on US nuclear posture.

description: Excerpt from the report Highlights: Appalachia has a disproportionate share of the Nation's unemployed workers and low-income families. However, the economy of the region is neither entirely nor uniformly "depressed". Considerable variation exists among subareas of the region in the number and percent of persons unemployed, and of families with incomes below $3,000. The variation reflects in part recent differential growth rates among subareas in employment and population. Some local economies have expanded rapidly, some slowly, and others have contracted precipitously.

Il problema del tempo come quaestio in Agostino. Dai dialoghi di Cassiciaco alle Confessiones

description: Agostino, starting from the confutation of the Aristotelian time’s theory and replying to the question if the time corresponds to the motion (motus) or to the duration (mora), tries to resolve the aporia that is not only related to the analysis of the measure of the time but also to the “being” or to the “not being” of the time itself. Therefore, man’s inability to establish and to explain the “being” of the time does not preclude the opportunity to deal with it. Honouring the time is actually more familiar than any other matter in conversation (in loquendo). Agostino’s reflection does not demand to create a phenomenology of the time but it exhorts man to consider the loqui, unable to reveal a strong connection between res and signa, as the only need of a reditus ad interiorem partem, the only thing able to consulere veritatem.

description: Agostino, partendo dalla confutazione della tesi aristotelica del tempo e rispondendo alla domanda se il tempo coincida con il movimento (motus) o con la durata (mora), cerca di risolvere l’aporia connessa non soltanto all’analisi della misura del tempo ma all’“essere” o al “non essere” del tempo stesso. L’incapacità dell’uomo di determinare l’essenza del tempo e, dunque, di esporla, non sembra precludere la possibilità di parlarne. Niente infatti è più familiare nella conversazione (in loquendo) che commemorare il tempo. La riflessione agostiniana non ha la pretesa di creare una fenomenologia del tempo ma invita l’uomo a considerare come il loqui, incapace di rivelare una stretta corrispondenza tra res e signa, implichi la necessità di un reditus ad interiorem partem, l’unica in grado di consulere veritatem.

description: Interference shapes the interplay between capacity and coverage in cellular networks. However, interference is non-deterministic and depends on various system and channel parameters including user scheduling, frequency reuse, and fading variations. We present an analytical approach for modeling the distribution of intercell interference in the downlink of cellular networks as a function of generic fading channel models and various scheduling schemes. We demonstrate the usefulness of the derived expressions in calculating location-based and average-based data rates in addition to capturing practical tradeoffs between cell capacity and coverage in downlink cellular networks.
