description: Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient that has multiple biochemical effects ranging from a nutritional deficiency at low levels to toxicity at high levels. Its quantification in environmental systems is vital to protect the health of people and animals. This study developed and validated methods to determine the total selenium (Se) concentration in soil, maize plants, and maize flour. The performance of the methods was ascertained using matrix certified reference materials (CRMs), namely NMIJ CRM 7303-a (trace elements in lake sediments), NIST SRM 1646-a (estuarine sediments), NIST SRM 1570-a (spinach leaves), NIST SRM 1571 (orchard leaves), NCS ZC 73010 (maize flour) and NIST RM 8437 (hard red spring wheat flour). All methods fulfilled the performance requirements of the AOAC International. An acceptable accuracy was achieved with percentage recoveries between 57 and 102% and En‐scores within ±1 limits. Repeatability (RSDr,%) and intermediate precision  (RSDR,%) ranged from 4 to 12%, and 9 to 15%, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for soil were 0.024 ng. g−1 and 0.082 ng. g−1, respectively. The LODs and LOQs for maize plants and flour were 0.0036 and 0.0179 ng. g−1, respectively. The performance characteristics of the methods were comparable with previously reported methods, confirming reliability. The measurement uncertainty was evaluated following the guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM). Relative expanded uncertainty at a 95% level of confidence (k=2) was less than 24% for the final measurement results for all the different matrices.

description: A pulsar's scintillation bandwidth is inversely proportional to the scattering delay, making accurate measurements of scintillation bandwidth critical to characterize unmitigated delays in efforts to measure low-frequency gravitational waves with pulsar timing arrays. In this pilot work, we searched for a subset of known pulsars within $\sim$97% of the data taken with the PUPPI instrument for the AO327 survey with the Arecibo telescope, attempting to measure the scintillation bandwidths in the dataset by fitting to the 2D autocorrelation function of their dynamic spectra. We successfully measured 38 bandwidths from 23 pulsars (six without prior literature values), finding that: almost all of the measurements are larger than the predictions from NE2001 and YMW16 (two popular galactic models); NE2001 is more consistent with our measurements than YMW16; Gaussian fits to the bandwidth are more consistent with both electron density models than Lorentzian ones; and for the 17 pulsars with prior literature values, the measurements between various sources often vary by factors of a few. The success of Gaussian fits may be due to the use of Gaussian fits to train models in previous work. The variance of literature values over time could relate to the scaling factor used to compare measurements, but also seems consistent with time-varying interstellar medium parameters. This work can be extended to the rest of AO327 to further investigate these trends, highlighting the continuing importance of large archival datasets for projects beyond their initial conception.

description: A Ca2+ sensor based on DNA nanospheres was developed. The DNA nanospheres were obtained by complementary pairing of Y-shaped DNA and DNAzyme, in which Y-shaped DNA is a triple-branched DNA with three sticky ends formed by three partially complementary single-stranded DNAs. DNAzyme is a recently reported RNA-cleaving DNAzyme, EtNa, that has high selectivity for Ca2+ and was used as linker in DNA nanosphere preparation. When EtNa DNAzyme was formed by enzyme chain (E) and substrate chain (S), the fluorescence signal was quenched significantly due to the proximity of fluorophore and quencher. In the presence of Ca2+, it bound to the E strand of EtNa DNAzyme, catalyzing the cleavage of S strand, which led to the separation of S from E and then the DNA nanosphere was disintegrated. At the same time, the fluorescence signal was restored and Ca2+ assay was realized. This detection system based on DNA nanospheres determined Ca2+ across a linear range from 20 to 400 μM with a detection limit of 1.6 μM and excellent selectivity. In addition, this proposed Ca2+ assay has been successfully applied to the assay of Ca2+ in human serum, thus demonstrating clinical application.

description: AbstractAdaptive learning support provided by kindergarten teachers before and after (macro-adaptive learning support) as well as during mathematical learning activities (micro-adaptive learning support) is a cross-cutting concept of teaching quality. Effective adaptive learning support enhances children’s learning. However, providing it is challenging and teachers need professional development (PD) to improve the quality of their support. This study investigates the mediating role of teaching quality between PD programs for kindergarten teachers and the development of children’s mathematical competency. 122 kindergarten teachers and their 825 pupils participated in the study. The teachers were randomly assigned to three groups. Two groups attended PD sessions designed to foster either macro- or micro-adaptive learning support. The third was the materials-only control group. The data was analyzed using a self-developed rating instrument focusing on generic and domain-specific elements of teaching quality related to macro- and micro-adaptive learning support. The multilevel latent change model analysis revealed that the PD programs had positive and significant effects on the teaching quality of kindergarten teachers. A significant positive relationship was also found between micro-adaptive learning support and changes in children’s mathematical competency. However, an indirect effect of teaching quality could not be detected, and the PD programs did not have a total effect on children’s mathematical competency. The study reinforces the importance of PD that specifically targets macro- and micro-adaptive learning support for kindergarten teachers. The mediation between PD and mathematical competency development requires further investigation.

description: The Coronagraphic Instrument onboard the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is an important stepping stone towards the characterization of habitable, rocky exoplanets. In a technology demonstration phase conducted during the first 18 months of the mission (expected to launch in late 2026), novel starlight suppression technology may enable direct imaging of a Jupiter analog in reflected light. Here we summarize the current activities of the Observation Planning working group formed as part of the Community Participation Program. This working group is responsible for target selection and observation planning of both science and calibration targets in the technology demonstration phase of the Roman Coronagraph. We will discuss the ongoing efforts to expand target and reference catalogs, and to model astrophysical targets (exoplanets and circumstellar disks) within the Coronagraph's expected sensitivity. We will also present preparatory observations of high priority targets.

AI ENABLED COMMAND IN THE UNITED STATES: RHETORICAL CONTESTATION AND SOLVING THE PROBLEMS OF SPEED AND KNOWLEDGE IN WAR

description: There is currently a great deal of momentum behind the integration of AI enabled technologies into the U.S. military. This includes desires to leverage the technology for purposes of command and control. These efforts are predicated on dreams of AI and machine learning empowering U.S. commanders to make better decisions at a faster pace. However, this ongoing incorporation of AI into military decision-making processes promises to delegate elements of decision-making away from humans, challenging long-standing military traditions emphasizing the heroic archetype of the decisive, intuitive, and audacious commander. As such, this dissertation seeks to address how, in the face of these competing perspectives, did the prospect of delegating decisions in war to ‘intelligent machines’ gain its current momentum? It argues that this puzzle is resolved through a focus on the emergence of particular visions of war in the post-WWII era, specifically related to the themes of speed and knowledge in U.S. military thought. Through the use of a combination of computational text analysis techniques and a genealogical approach, this dissertation uncovers shifts in how members of the U.S. defense architecture conceive of and prioritize speed and knowledge and their relationship to war. It illustrates that these changes serve as a form of rhetorical resources in debates over the merits of AI and its role in military decision-making, helping to lock down and formalize new meanings and practices related to modern command. These findings have important implications for how we analyze the relationship between military culture, technology, and the practices of war; thus, pointing to how imaginations of technology and war intersect with significant implications for how future conflicts will unfold.

description: Mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours is associated with life-threatening complications, which can cause prolonged hospital stay, disability and even death. There are recommended guidelines for prevention of mechanical ventilation complications, but prevention of mechanical ventilation complications is still poorly understood. Auxillia Madhuvu’s study explores how these life-threatening complications were prevented in ICU. It examines the nurses’ knowledge and adherence of nurses and doctors to the available recommended guidelines. Auxillia’s study shows that factors such as education, availability of resources, unit culture, workplace stress can influence the use of evidence-based guidelines to prevent mechanical ventilation complications.

description: There is some evidence that seed traits can affect the long-term persistence of seeds in the soil. However, findings on this topic have differed between systems. Here, we brought together a worldwide database of seed persistence data for 1474 species to test the generality of seed mass-shape-persistence relationships. We found a significant trend for low seed persistence to be associated with larger and less spherical seeds. However, the relationship varied across different clades, growth forms and species ecological preferences. Specifically, relationships of seed mass-shape-persistence were more pronounced in Poales than in other order clades. Herbaceous species that tend to be found in site with low soil sand content and precipitation have stronger relationships between seed shape and persistence than in sites with higher soil sand content and precipitation. For the woody plants, the relationship between persistence and seed morphology was stronger in sites with high soil sand content and low precipitation than in sites with low soil sand content and higher precipitation. Improving ability to predict the soil seed bank formation process, including burial and persistence, could benefit the utilization of seed morphology-persistence relationships in management strategies for vegetation restoration and controlling species invasion across diverse vegetation types and environments.

description: The red upper unit of the Hickory Sandstone is a hematitic and goethitic sandstone containing a large reserve of potential low-grade iron ore. It is estimated that about 7 million long tons of elemental iron is locked up in each square mile of the upper 30 feet of this deposit in sandstone averaging about 12.4 percent elemental iron. At least 175 square miles of the deposit is under less than 800 feet of cover, and reserves in the upper 30 feet in this area total about 650 million long tons if 75 percent of the potential iron ore is minable and two-thirds of the iron in the mined ore is recoverable. Beneath this level another 50 or 60 feet of poorly exposed iron-bearing sandstone is probably equally as iron-rich, and if this is true, total potential reserves may be as much as 1.6 billion long tons of elemental iron in 23 billion long tons of rock or about 6 billion tons of concentrates. No part of the deposit can be regarded as direct shipping ore. Iron oxide from the red unit of the Hickory Sandstone, except for high carbonate mineral content, is of paint pigment quality. Hydraulic-fracturing sand production from the lower unit of the Hickory Sandstone is well established in the Voca area, McCulloch County, and within the area of this report the amount of such sand is very large. The middle unit of the Hickory Sandstone, the Lion Mountain Sandstone, the Welge Sandstone, and the sandstone zones in the San Saba Member appear to be devoid of deposits of value.

Enhancing Language Models with Structured Reasoning

description:  The rapid growth in the areas of language generation and reasoning has been significantly facilitated by the availability of user-friendly libraries wrapped around large language models. These solutions often rely on the Seq2Seq paradigm, treating all problems as text-to-text transformations. While convenient, this approach faces limitations in practical deployments: brittleness when handling complex problems, the absence of feedback mechanisms, and an inherent black-box nature hindering model interpretability. 
This thesis presents techniques to address these limitations by integrating structured elements into the design and operation of language models. Structure, in this context, is defined as the organization and representation of data in systematic, hierarchical, or relational ways, along with incorporating structural constraints into the learning and reasoning processes. These elements are integrated at different model development and deployment stages: training, inference, and post-inference. During training, we present techniques for training a graph-assisted question?answering model, and discovering orders that help in effectively generating sets as sequences. In the inference stage, we present techniques for incorporating structure by leveraging code as an intermediate representation. For the post-inference stage, we introduce methods that integrate a memory to allow the model to leverage feedback without additional training. 
Together, these techniques demonstrate that conventional text-in-text-out solutions may fail to leverage beneficial structural properties apparent to model stakeholders. Incorporating structures in the model development process requires a careful look at the problem setup, but often relatively straightforward implementation can pay significant dividends—a little structure goes a long way. 
We conclude by positing that the next generation of AI systems will treat LLMs as powerful kernels upon which flexible inference procedures can be built to enhance complex reasoning. This approach, driven by the concept of inference-time compute, has the potential to significantly improve the problem-solving capabilities of AI.
A Parallel Scan Algorithm in the Tensor Core Unit Model

description: We present a parallel scan (prefix sum) algorithm in the Tensor Core Unit (TCU) model of computation. The TCU model assumes that multiplication between two square matrices of constant size $s$ is a basic operation. In the $(s^2, \ell)$-TCU model, we show that for inputs of size $n$, the algorithm has depth at most $2\lfloor \log_s (n)\rfloor$ and runs in $O(n(1 + \ell /s^2)/p + (s^2 + \ell) \log_s (n))$ time assuming $p$ tensor core units. Equivalently, the algorithm performs $O(n/s^2)$ multiplications of square matrices of size s.

description: The area described in this report comprises 712 square miles centered on the City of Austin. The area extends north almost to Round Rock, south to the vicinity of Buda, east to just beyond Manor, and west to about 5 miles west of Oak Hill. It includes approximately 604 square miles of Travis County, 38 square miles of Hays County, 18 square miles of Bastrop County, and 52 square miles of Williamson County. The aim of this publication is to supply geologic information that can be used to prevent or minimize problems that arise during urban development. A series of maps has been constructed for this purpose; the maps illustrate distribution of topographic conditions, soils, surface drainage, physical properties, rock types, land use, and vegetation. Base maps were compiled from 7.5- and 15-minute U. S. Geological Survey topographic maps and a 1970 edition of a map of the City of Austin. Basic geologic mapping was completed on aerial photographs at a scale of 1:20,000. Supplementary maps were prepared by combining data from the basic geologic map with soils, engineering, topographic, and vegetation data. Final maps were constructed at scales of 1:62,500 (approximately 1 inch equals 1 mile) and 1:125,000 (approximately 1 inch equals 2 miles).

description: The Barrilla Mountains, in the northeastern part of the Davis Mountains of Trans-Pecos Texas, are composed of Tertiary volcanic materials. Five tuffs and five lava flows, 1500 feet thick occurring throughout the mountains, persist in thickness and lithologic characteristics. Their upper surfaces show little erosion. The lavas are chiefly Silicic and soda rich. The volcanic succession is underlain by a Tertiary sandstone above Upper Cretaceous marine formations. These were slightly deformed by the Laramide revolution, subsequently beveled, and everywhere covered by the sands of coalescing streams. The sandstone contains well-rounded chert and quartzite pebbles. Broad folds and normal faults succeeded the extrusions of the youngest lava.

description: Reconstruction-based methods have been commonly used for unsupervised anomaly detection, in which a normal image is reconstructed and compared with the given test image to detect and locate anomalies. Recently, diffusion models have shown promising applications for anomaly detection due to their powerful generative ability. However, these models lack strict mathematical support for normal image reconstruction and unexpectedly suffer from low reconstruction quality. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel and highly-interpretable method named Masked Diffusion Posterior Sampling (MDPS). In MDPS, the problem of normal image reconstruction is mathematically modeled as multiple diffusion posterior sampling for normal images based on the devised masked noisy observation model and the diffusion-based normal image prior under Bayesian framework. Using a metric designed from pixel-level and perceptual-level perspectives, MDPS can effectively compute the difference map between each normal posterior sample and the given test image. Anomaly scores are obtained by averaging all difference maps for multiple posterior samples. Exhaustive experiments on MVTec and BTAD datasets demonstrate that MDPS can achieve state-of-the-art performance in normal image reconstruction quality as well as anomaly detection and localization.
