description: Randomness is viewed through an analogy between a physical quantity, density of gas, and a mathematical construct -- probability density. Boltzmann's deduction of equilibrium distribution of ideal gas placed in an external potential field than provides a way of viewing probability density from a perspective of forces/potentials, hidden behind it.

description: Many scenarios of new physics predict the existence of neutrino Non-Standard Interactions, new vector contact interactions between neutrinos and first generation fermions beyond the Standard Model. We obtain model-independent constraints on the Standard Model Effective Field Theory at high energies from bounds on neutrino non-standard interactions derived at low energies. Our analysis explores a large set of new physics scenarios and includes full one-loop running effects below and above the electroweak scale. Our results show that neutrino non-standard interactions already push the scale of new physics beyond the TeV. We also conclude that bounds derived by other experimental probes, in particular by low-energy precision measurements and by charged lepton flavor violation searches, are generally more stringent. Our study constitutes a first step towards the systematization of phenomenological analyses to evaluate the impact of neutrino Non-Standard Interactions for new physics scenarios at high energies.

Coffee and Tea Consumption and the Risk of Lung Cancer in a Population of Postmenopausal Women
Creators: name: Santos, Abigail
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

description: Lung cancer has been the leading cause of cancer death in women for
the past three decades. Although smoking is the most important risk
factor for lung cancer, not all lung cancer deaths in American women
are attributed to smoking and the role of dietary exposures remain
unclear.In particular, the effect of coffee consumption and tea
consumption on lung cancer risk remains inconclusive. Therefore we
assessed these associations prospectively in 83,777 women between the
ages of 50-79 who did not have a previous history of cancer. Daily
coffee and tea consumption (cups/d) were assessed via a baseline
questionnaire while the 1,038 lung cancer cases included in analysis
were self-reported and verified by outcome assessors. Cox proportional
hazard models, adjusted for important lung cancer risk factors, were
used to model the associations. 71% of women reported drinking coffee
daily while only 26% of participants drank tea. Preliminary results
suggested a significant increase in lung cancer risk for caffeinated
(HR=1.47, 95% CI 1.21-1.79), decaffeinated (HR=1.56, 95% CI 1.17-2.07)
and total coffee (HR= 1.58, 95% CI 1.29-1.93) when comparing those in
the highest consumption categories to non-drinkers, but no significant
results were observed in these consumption groups in an analysis
conducted with only non-smokers. Daily tea consumption was
significantly associated with a reduction of risk (HR= 0.82, 95% CI
0.71-0.96). Our data suggests that there is no association between
coffee consumption and lung cancer risk or tea consumption and lung
cancer risk.

description: The Augmented Inverse Probability Weighted (AIPW) estimation has been extensively studied in various scenarios across diverse research areas. This investigation explores the asymptotic properties of the AIPW estimator for the conditional average treatment effect. Under various combinations of the parametric, semiparametric, and nonparametric structure in the nuisance propensity score and outcome regression models, we discuss the asymptotic bias and compare the asymptotic variances among the corresponding estimators. The study covers the asymptotic properties with no model misspecified; with either propensity score or outcome regressions locally/globally misspecified; and with all models locally/globally misspecified. To provide a deeper insight into the nature of these estimators and out of curiosity, we reveal the phenomenon that the asymptotic variances, with model-misspecification, could sometimes be even smaller than those with all models correctly specified. We also conduct a numerical study to validate the theoretical results.
Weighing the stellar constituents of the Galactic halo with APOGEE red giant stars

description: The stellar mass in the halo of the Milky Way is notoriously difficult to determine, owing to the paucity of its stars in the solar neighbourhood. With tentative evidence from $\it{Gaia}$ that the nearby stellar halo is dominated by a massive accretion event -- referred to as $\it{Gaia-Enceladus}$ or Sausage -- these constraints are now increasingly urgent. We measure the mass in kinematically selected mono-abundance populations (MAPs) of the stellar halo between $-3 0.7$ is $M_{*,\mathrm{accreted},e>0.7} = 3 \pm 1\ \mathrm{(stat.)}\pm 1\ \mathrm{(syst.)}\times10^{8}\ \mathrm{M_\odot}$, or $\sim 30-50\%$ of the accreted halo mass. If the majority of these stars $\it{are}$ the progeny of a massive accreted dwarf, this places an upper limit on its stellar mass, and implies a halo mass for the progenitor of $\sim 10^{10.2\pm0.2}\ \mathrm{M_\odot}$. This constraint not only shows that the $\it{Gaia-Enceladus}$/Sausage progenitor may not be as massive as originally suggested, but that the majority of the Milky Way stellar halo was accreted. These measurements are an important step towards fully reconstructing the assembly history of the Milky Way.

description: Abstract: The high mountains of the Mediterranean are often considered as refuges of ancient traditions, particularly of pastoralism and brigandage. Is this image true? This paper reports the first systematic archaeological research on Aspromonte, Southern Calabria. Archaeological, cartographic and air photo evidence suggests that people used the high mountains in all periods from the Neolithic onwards. However, early usage was low-intensity and probably for special purposes such as iron-smelting, charcoal-burning and logging; only in the Classical Greek period was there sustained effort at inhabiting higher areas. The real development of the mountains came in the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From the 1920s onwards, there were large-scale, state-fostered projects for economic exploitation of forests, political control of territory, and creation of a recreational landscape. These endeavors tied into modernist ideas of the state, as well as period concepts such as Alpinism and healthy outdoor recreation for city dwellers. Ironically, as soon as these modern efforts made the high mountains accessible, they were assigned a chronotope, and were reimagined as the exemplification of an ancient way of life.

description: Physical properties of semiconducting CdF_2 crystals doped with In are determined from measurements of the radio-frequency response of a sample with Schottky barriers at frequencies 10 - 10^6 Hz. The dc conductivity, the activation energy of the amphoteric impurity, and the total concentration of the active In ions in CdF_2 are found through an equivalent-circuit analysis of the frequency dependencies of the sample complex impedance at temperatures from 20 K to 300 K. Kinetic coefficients determining the thermally induced transitions between the deep and the shallow states of the In impurity and the barrier height between these states are obtained from the time-dependent radio-frequency response after illumination of the material. The results on the low-frequency conductivity in CdF_2:In are compared with submillimeter (10^{11} - 10^{12} Hz) measurements and with room-temperature infrared measurements of undoped CdF_2. The low-frequency impedance measurements of semiconductor samples with Schottky barriers are shown to be a good tool for investigation of the physical properties of semiconductors.

description: We shortly review the various methods suggested for determining the transversity function. Among such methods, we consider especially those based on semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. In the framework of this kind of reactions, we propose to measure a double spin asymmetry, using a transversely polarized proton target and a longitudinally polarized lepton beam, and fixing the direction of the final pion. Under particular conditions, the asymmetry is sensitive to the transversity function.

SU(2) Loop Quantum Gravity seen from Covariant Theory

description: Covariant loop gravity comes out of the canonical analysis of the Palatini action and the use of the Dirac brackets arising from dealing with the second class constraints (``simplicity'' constraints). Within this framework, we underline a quantization ambiguity due to the existence of a family of possible Lorentz connections. We show the existence of a Lorentz connection generalizing the Ashtekar-Barbero connection and we loop-quantize the theory showing that it leads to the usual SU(2) Loop Quantum Gravity and to the area spectrum given by the SU(2) Casimir. This covariant point of view allows to analyze closely the drawbacks of the SU(2) formalism: the quantization based on the (generalized) Ashtekar-Barbero connection breaks time diffeomorphisms and physical outputs depend non-trivially on the embedding of the canonical hypersurface into the space-time manifold. On the other hand, there exists a true space-time connection, transforming properly under all diffeomorphisms. We argue that it is this connection that should be used in the definition of loop variables. However, we are still not able to complete the quantization program for this connection giving a full solution of the second class constraints at the Hilbert space level. Nevertheless, we show how a canonical quantization of the Dirac brackets at a finite number of points leads to the kinematical setting of the Barrett-Crane model, with simple spin networks and an area spectrum given by the SL(2,C) Casimir.

description: In this paper, a new class of distribution-free statistics based on order statistics from two independent samples is introduced to test the equality of two continuous distributions. The null distributions are obtained, and the symmetry property of the proposed test statistics is studied. The exact power functions of the new class of tests under the Lehmann alternative family are derived. Extensions of the proposed class of test statistics to situations with unequal sample sizes are discussed. We also study the power performance of the proposed test under the location-shift and scale-shift alternatives using Monte Carlo simulations. We observe that the power performance of the new class of test procedures is comparable to some commonly used nonparametric tests under various scenarios, which indicates that the new class of test procedures can be a good alternative to those classic nonparametric tests for the two-sample problem.
Improving Small Community Flood Resilience:  The Multiple Strategies of Watershed Partnerships
Creators: name: Gillett, Nicole
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: Flooding in New England is often seen as a coastal concern, but inland, in the mountainous rural communities of New England, river floods present serious threats to communities and livelihoods. Recent large storm events such as Tropical Storm Irene, and rising concerns over climate change, have catalyzed conversations over the vulnerability of communities across inland New England to flooding. This thesis examines two very different watershed organizations in New England; the White River Partnership and Deerfield Creating Resilient Communities. Both are working towards flood resilience in their communities. My approach is not to judge “best practices” or to evaluate what is better about one versus the other, but rather to highlight a range of approaches, institutions, policies and applications that enable flood resilience. By examining two very different institutions in depth, I will identify, explain and explore a variety of ways in which regional watershed partnerships can build partnerships and improve local flood resilience.

Vielleicht hier, um zu sagen: Bildung and Elegy in the Duineser Elegien, Du côté de chez Swann, and Misérable miracle
Creators: name: Heilker, Emily
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: In the wake of the industrialization, urbanization, and global conflicts of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Europe was forced to call into question its Enlightenment faith. In particular, Bildung—as the cultural education of the individual that emerged out of the Enlightenment—lost its footing amidst experience’s new texture of trauma. This thesis will examine Rilke’s Duineser Elegien, Proust’s Du côté de chez Swann, and Michaux’s Misérable miracle as each work pertains to and reconceives of the intertwining of Bildung and elegy, as a literary form both underpinned by and unconvinced of Bildung. For them, I will argue, elegy served as a potential form for re-writing historical indifference and for preparing, through limit-experience and loss, linguistic antidotes for the elision of difference produced in history’s wake.
Quasar Main Sequence: a line or a plane?

description: A quasar main sequence is widely believed to reveal itself through objects represented in a plane spanned by two parameters: the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of H$β$, and the ratio of Fe II to H$β$ equivalent width. This sequence is related to the application to quasar properties of principal component analysis (PCA), which reveals that the main axis of variance (Eigenvector 1) is co-directional with a strong anti-correlation between these two measurements. We aim to determine whether the dominance of two Eigenvectors, originally discovered over two decades ago, is replicated in newer high-quality quasar samples. If so, we aim to test if a non-linear approach is an improvement on the linear PCA method by finding two new parameters which represent a more accurate projection of the variances than the Eigenvectors recovered from PCA. We selected quasars from the XSHOOTER archive and a major quasar catalog to build high quality samples. These samples were tested with PCA. We find that the new high-quality samples do indeed have two dominant Eigenvectors as originally discovered. Subsequently we find that the fitting of a non-linear decay curve to the main sequence allows a new plane spanned by linearly independent axes to be defined, based on the distance along the decay curve as the main axis and the distance of each quasar datapoint from the curve as the secondary axis respectively. The results show that it is possible to define a new plane based on the quasar main sequence which accounts for the majority of the variance. The most likely candidate for the new main axis is an anti-correlation with black hole mass. In this case the secondary axis likely represents luminosity. However, given the results of previous studies, inclination angle likely plays a role in H$β$ width.

Flooding in several hinterland communities in Suriname in 2008 presented such an opportunity. Kwamalasamutu one of the largest Amerindian communities in Southern Suriname close to the border with Brazil was severely affected. Farms were flooded and food security of the community was threatened. A joint project of relief, rehabilitation and food and nutrition security was conducted by the IICA in Suriname and the Suriname Red Cross. The experience included in this document resulted in enhanced food security of the community and income generation for participating farmers.

description: In this paper, we are interested in nonparametric kernel estimation of a generalised regression function based on an incomplete sample (Xt,Yt,ζt)t∈[0,T] copies of a continuous-time stationary and ergodic process (X,Y,ζ). The predictor X is valued in some infinite-dimensional space, whereas the real-valued process Y is observed when the Bernoulli process ζ=1 and missing whenever ζ=0. Uniform almost sure consistency rate as well as the evaluation of the conditional bias and asymptotic mean square error are established. The asymptotic distribution of the estimator is provided with a discussion on its use in building asymptotic confidence intervals. To illustrate the performance of the proposed estimator, a first simulation is performed to compare the efficiency of discrete-time and continuous-time estimators. A second simulation is conducted to discuss the selection of the optimal sampling mesh in the continuous-time case. Then, a third simulation is considered to build asymptotic confidence intervals. An application to financial time series is used to study the performance of the proposed estimator in terms of point and interval prediction of the IBM asset price log-returns. Finally, a second application is introduced to discuss the usage of the initial estimator to impute missing household-level peak electricity demand.

description: We explore the bound of the trans-Planckian censorship conjecture on an inflation model with multiple stages. We show that if the first inflationary stage is responsible for the primordial perturbations in the cosmic microwave background window, the $e$-folding number of each subsequent stage will be bounded by the energy scale of the first stage. This seems to imply that the lifetime of the current era of accelerated expansion (regarded as one of the multiple inflationary stages) might be a probe for distinguishing inflation from its alternatives. We also present a multistage inflation model in a landscape consisting of anti-de Sitter vacua separated by potential barriers.

description: In this paper, we propose a penalized regression method to detect subgroups of trajectories while accounting for the time-varying effects of given covariates. Specifically, we allow both the latent heterogeneous trajectories and the covariate effects to be nonlinear which can be approximated by B-splines. We then identify subgroups by applying a pairwise-fusion penalization on coefficients and estimate the functional effects of covariates simultaneously without prespecifying the number of subgroups and the underlying distribution. In theory, we establish consistency properties for estimated trajectories, subgrouping memberships and functional effects under suitable conditions. The efficiency of the proposed method in identifying subgroups and estimating the nonparametric functions is illustrated through extensive simulations. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed trajectory clustering method with adjustment for time-varying effects, we analyze CO2 emissions trajectories while controlling the effects of GDP per capita.

description: The astrophysical stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) is mostly produced from unresolved stellar binary mergers, and the number of events at any moment of time is expected to be Poisson-distributed. The event rate is governed by several astrophysical processes. The Poisson nature leads to variation in the number of sources and this causes temporal variations in the SGWB. The intrinsic temporal fluctuations of the SGWB are a rich source of astrophysical information that can be explored via ongoing and future gravitational wave experiments to classify the sources of the SGWB signal. Along with several other methods to estimate the GW event rates from individual sources, the study of the temporal variations of the SGWB signal provides an independent method for estimating the event rates of the GW sources that contribute to the SGWB. Along with direct estimates of event rates, this approach can also distinguish between different sources contributing to the SGWB signal and will be a useful probe of its evolution over a vast cosmic volume. On averaging over observation times, the SGWB will be statistically invariant under time translation. Statistical time translation symmetry of the SGWB is expected due to the negligible evolution of the relevant cosmological and astrophysical phenomena over the observation time-scales over which the data is collected.

(A) Biotinylated DNA fragments corresponding to the U3-LTR of HIV-1 was immobilized on streptavidin-coupled magnetic beads. Nuclear extracts from 293 T cells transfected with pCEP-INsala-Flag were incubated with the beads (coupled or not to the bait) and washed several times in cold lysis buffer. Bead and wash samples were boiled in Laemmli buffer for elution of the protein and resolved on a 10% SDS-PAGE followed by Western blot analyses with anti-FLAG antibodies. Total extracts (input) were similarly analyzed. (B) Nuclear extracts from 293 T cells transfected with CEP-INsala-Flag (vs. empty vector) and pcDNA3.1(+)-LEDGF-HA were incubated with HIV-1 U3 bait-coupled magnetic beads (vs. empty beads). After several washes, complexes were eluted from the beads in Laemmli buffer. Resulting eluted samples and bead-lysate complexes before wash were analyzed by Western blot with anti-HA antibodies.
Does Age Influence Dynamic Stability and Muscular Power Following Neuromuscular Fatigue in Women?
Creators: name: Hoffmann, Ben J
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

description: Older adults, especially older women, produce less muscular power than young adults, due primarily to slower maximal contractile velocity. These decrements may lead to increased fall risk in older women and can be exacerbated by fatigue. Recently, a 32 min walking task (32MWT) was shown to elicit fatigue in older women. The purpose of this study was to determine whether knee extensor (KE) maximal velocity is related to dynamic stability (margin of stability, MoS) in young and older women pre- and post-32MWT. METHODS: Nine young (Y; 24.3+1.1years, mean±SE) and 17 older (O; 71.1±1.1years) healthy women completed 2 testing sessions on separate days: 1) electrically-stimulated and voluntary KE muscle characteristics were measured to determine rates of force development and relaxation (RFD, RFR) and half-relaxation times (T1/2) as well as peak isometric torque, power generated at 270 deg∙s-1, and maximal contractile velocity of the dominant leg; 2) MoS was measured using a forward fall test at 25% body weight; 10 baseline trials were performed. On both testing days, the 32MWT was performed following baseline measures. All variables of interest were then collected during 30 min of recovery. RESULTS: MoS was higher in young than older women (Y: 0.044±0.021m, O: -0.130±0.033m, p=0.001) and increased over the 10 baseline trials in both groups (p=0.01). Post-32MWT, both groups showed decreased
isometric torque (Y: p=0.04, O: p-1 (Y: p=0.05, O: p=0.01), and unaltered MoS (Y: p=0.34, O: p=0.52) and maximal velocity (Y: p=0.22, O: p=0.54). Additionally, T1/2 was lower post-32MWT in older (p20.32) or post-32MWT (r20.22) in either group. CONCLUSIONS: The 32MWT elicited fatigue in some contractile variables, but improved or had no effect on others. Maximal KE contractile velocity was not associated with MoS in young or older women. Future studies are needed to determine other potential mechanisms of lower MoS in older than young women. The increase in MoS over 10 baseline trials should be considered by researchers when using the forward fall test to evaluate real-world fall risk.

description: Unstructured and semi-structured cohort data contain relevant information about the health condition of a patient, e.g., free text describing disease diagnoses, drugs, medication reasons, which are often not available in structured formats. One of the challenges posed by medical free texts is that there can be several ways of mentioning a concept. Therefore, encoding free text into unambiguous descriptors allows us to leverage the value of the cohort data, in particular, by facilitating its findability and interoperability across cohorts in the project.  Named entity recognition and normalization enable the automatic conversion of free text into standard medical concepts. Given the volume of available data shared in the CINECA project, the WP3 text mining working group has developed named entity normalization techniques to obtain standard concepts from unstructured and semi-structured fields available in the cohorts. In this deliverable, we present the methodology used to develop the different text mining tools created by the dedicated SFU, UMCG, EBI, and HES-SO/SIB groups for specific CINECA cohorts.

description: Abstract: Background: The Covid-19 pandemic has imposed extraordinary strains on healthcare workers. But, in contrast with acute settings, relatively little attention has been given to those who work in mental health settings. We aimed to characterise the experiences of those working in English NHS secondary mental health services during the first wave of the pandemic. Methods: The design was a qualitative interview-based study. We conducted semi-structured, remote (telephone or online) interviews with 35 members of staff from NHS secondary (inpatient and community) mental health services in England. Analysis was based on the constant comparative method. Results: Participants reported wide-ranging changes in the organisation of secondary mental health care and the nature of work in response to the pandemic, including pausing of all services deemed to be “non-essential”, deployment of staff across services to new and unfamiliar roles, and moves to remote working. The quality of participants’ working life was impaired by increasing levels of daily challenge associated with trying to provide care in trying and constrained circumstances, the problems of forging new ways of working remotely, and constraints on ability to access informal support. Participants were confronted with difficult dilemmas relating to clinical decision-making, prioritisation of care, and compromises in ability to perform the therapeutic function of their roles. Other dilemmas centred on trying to balance the risks of controlling infection with the need for human contact. Many reported features of moral injury linked to their perceived failures in providing the quality or level of care that they felt service users needed. They sometimes sought to compensate for deficits in care through increased advocacy, taking on additional tasks, or making exceptions, but this led to further personal strain. Many experienced feelings of grief, helplessness, isolation, distress, and burnout. These problems were compounded by sometimes poor communication about service changes and by staff feeling that they could not take time off because of the potential impact on others. Some reported feeling poorly supported by organisations. Conclusions: Mental health workers faced multiple adversities during the pandemic that were highly consequential for their wellbeing. These findings can help in identifying targets for support.

description: The volatility and uncertainty existing at the onset of the global economic recession slowed the growth of production and trade worldwide. However, in 2008, agricultural markets were still growing rapidly in terms of the volume of transactions, and prices for major commodities continued to rise. As a result of this situation, combined with low income (or price) elasticity of demand for agricultural exports, in contrast with the other sectors of the economy, the annual rate of growth of the value of agricultural exports worldwide almost saw their surpluses rise during the same period. For the purpose of identifying the causes of gains or losses recession, this article explains the behavior of agricultural exports and of agricultural terms of trade, based on several explanatory variables: international prices for agricultural commodities, the composition of agricultural agricultural exports and the formalization of free trade agreements with the major trading partners.
An Experimentalist's View of Neutrino Oscillations

description: Neutrinos, and primarily neutrino oscillations, have undoubtedly been one of the most exciting topics in the field of high-energy physics over the past few years. The existence of neutrino oscillations would require an extension of the currently accepted description of sub-nuclear phenomena beyond the Standard Model. Compelling evidence of new physics, which seems to be pointing towards neutrino oscillations, is coming from the solar neutrino deficit and from the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. More controversial effects have been observed with artificially produced neutrinos. The present experimental status of neutrino oscillations is reviewed, as well as the planned future experimental programme, which, it is hoped, will solve most of the outstanding puzzles.

description: An event generator for nuclear collisions is a microscopic model, obtained from extrapolating elementary interactions -- as electron-positron annihilation, deep inelastic scattering, and proton-proton interactions -- towards proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus scattering, by using Monte Carlo techniques. In this paper, we will discuss the physical concepts behind such event generators. We first present some qualitative discussion of nuclear scattering, before discussing particle production and strings. We then discuss the parton model, and finally multiple scattering theory.

description: Mobile produce markets (MPM) are a community-based strategy to improve produce access in areas with few fruits and vegetables (FV) retail options. The purpose of this thesis is to assess the functionality of MPM in low-income urban neighborhoods. This thesis includes three studies. Study 1 investigates FV availability in areas around MPM locations (n=13). We found limited fresh FV availability in stores, but high prevalence of 100% juice, and canned FV and beans. Study 2 applied questionnaire data from MPM shoppers (n=143) to assess MPM experiences. Chi Square was used to compare shopping behaviors between older (≥ 60) and younger (18-59.9 years) adults. Separate logistic regression models were used to predict Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) use, money spent, shopping frequency, and distance travelled to MPM, with age, race/ethnicity, sex, living alone/with others, and EBT in models. Participants indicated positive experiences with five dimensions of access: availability (variety), accessibility (location), affordability (price), acceptability (freshness), and accommodation (EBT use). Older shoppers were more likely to be long-term shoppers (P=0.002) and use EBT (P=0.012). Living alone predicted EBT use (P=0.03), shopping weekly (P=0.03), and traveling < 1 mile (P=0.02). In Study 3, we interviewed 16 farmers to investigate experiences and perceptions of local markets including MPM. Income and community interaction were prominent themes. Farmers identified community organizations as important liaisons to coordinate MPM distribution and communicate community needs. MPM offer a promising strategy for serving low-income and minority populations—to be organized by communities themselves and to bring needed food directly to neighborhoods.
