description: Motivated by ATLAS diboson excess around 2 TeV, we investigate a phenomenology of spin-1 resonances in a model where electroweak sector in the SM is weakly coupled to strong dynamics. The spin-1 resonances, W' and Z', are introduced as effective degrees of freedom of the dynamical sector. We explore several theoretical constraints by investigating the scalar potential of the model as well as the current bounds from the LHC and precision measurements. It is found that the main decay modes are V' -> VV and V' -> Vh, and the V' width is narrow enough so that the ATLAS diboson excess can be explained. In order to investigate future prospects, we also perform collider simulations at the 13 TeV LHC, and obtain a model independent expected exclusion limit for the process pp -> W' -> WZ -> JJ. We find a parameter space where the diboson excess can be explained, and are within a reach of the LHC at the integrated luminosity of 10 fb-1 and 13 TeV.

description: This community service initiative focuses on improving student engagement and learning outcomes in science education at SMPN 5 Ukui through the application of game-based learning models. Conducted over two sessions in July 2024, the program employed the Number head together and Team Games Tournament methods to foster active participation and enhance students' understanding of the material. Despite challenges such as limited facilities, the initiative successfully increased student interest and involvement in learning science. The program demonstrated that game-based learning can be an effective tool for transforming traditional teaching methods, particularly in rural schools with limited resources. The results indicate a positive impact on student motivation and academic performance, suggesting the potential for broader implementation in similar educational settings. The initiative underscores the importance of innovative teaching approaches in achieving educational goals and highlights the need for continued support and resources to ensure the sustainability and scalability of such programs in the future.
Submission by OLS team for the the Skills Policy Awards 2023/2024

description: OLS plays an important role in the open data science movement by making open data science best practices accessible and creating effective support structures for individuals, projects and communities from both majority and underrepresented groups. People from technical and non-technical backgrounds develop skills in community-oriented data science and open leadership. We see a gap in the policy landscape that operationalises the values exemplified by OLS – centring EDIA principles in higher education and data science, and strengthening organisations’ infrastructure to provide diversified career and funding opportunities. This proposal will enable OLS to engage with the policy ecosystem – proposing open science projects on policy interventions, transferring knowledge from data science communities to inform policies and upskilling the next generation of a diverse workforce in effectively engaging with policymakers.

 OLS proposes to meet these objectives with the support the the Turing's Skills Policy Awards funding: 1. Integrating policy skills and resources in OLS 2. Conducting research and community consultations 3. Publishing a policy briefing note to broader access
CANCER, CHEMOTHERAPY & COGNITION: A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH
Creators: name: Rudolph, Marc Douglas
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Up to 80% of breast cancer survivors (BCS) treated with chemotherapy report persistent cognitive impairment. The precise mechanisms leading to impairment are unclear and there is a lack of correspondence between self-reported and objectively measured cognitive deficits due in part to the use of non-specific neuropsychological assessments. Further, cognitive impairment in BCS may surface in a portion of individuals due to the interaction of several contributing risk factors (e.g. sleep, fatigue, and stress) which have not been assessed systematically. Using machine learning, this study combined features implicated in chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) from a battery of self-report measures, neuropsychological assessments, and three experimental cognitive neuroscience paradigms. This approach accurately classified individual BCS at greater risk for experiencing CRCI from healthy aging individuals. The most predictive features included a combination of self-report (fatigue, stress, distractibility) and experimental paradigm measures (sustained and selective attention, memory encoding and retrieval).

Universal correlations in chaotic many-body quantum states: Fock-space formulation of Berrys random wave model

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The apparent randomness of chaotic eigenstates in interacting quantum systems hides subtle correlations dynamically imposed by their finite energy per particle. These correlations are revealed when Berrys approach for chaotic eigenfunctions in single-particle systems is lifted into many-body space. We achieve this by a many-body semiclassics analysis, appropriate for the mesoscopic regime of large but finite number of particles. We then identify the universality of both the cross-correlations and the Gaussian distribution of expansion coefficients as the signatures of chaotic eigenstates. Combined, these two aspects imprint a distinctive backbone to the morphology of eigenstates that we check against extensive quantum simulations. The universality of eigenstate correlations for fixed energy density is then a further signature of many-body quantum chaos that, while consistent with the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, lies beyond random matrix theory.

description: Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach is applied to parameter- and delay-robustness analysis of the feedback suggested by Manitius and Olbrot for a linear time-invariant system with distributed input delay. A functional is designed based on Artstein's system reduction technique. It depends on the norms of the reduction-transformed plant state and original actuator state. The functional is used to prove that the feedback is stabilizing when there is a slight mismatch in the system matrices and delay values between the plant and controller.

description: Temperature dependent measurements of 57Fe Mossbauer spectra on CaFe2As2 single crystals in the tetragonal and collapsed tetragonal phases are reported. Clear features in the temperature dependencies of the isomer shift, relative spectra area and quadrupole splitting are observed at the transition from the tetragonal to the collapsed tetragonal phase. From the temperature dependent isomer shift and spectral area data, an average stiffening of the phonon modes in the collapsed tetragonal phase is inferred. The quadrupole splitting increases by ~25% on cooling from room temperature to ~100 K in the tetragonal phase and is only weakly temperature dependent at low temperatures in the collapsed tetragonal phase, in agreement with the anisotropic thermal expansion in this material. In order to gain microscopic insight about these measurements we perform ab initio density functional theory calculations of the electric field gradient and the electron density of CaFe2As2 in both phases. By comparing the experimental data with the calculations we are able to fully characterize the crystal structure of the samples in the collapsed-tetragonal phase through determination of the As z-coordinate. Based on the obtained temperature dependent structural data we are able to propose charge saturation of the Fe - As bond region as the mechanism behind the stabilization of the collapsed-tetragonal phase at ambient pressure.

description: For elastomer-based tactile sensors, represented by visuotactile sensors, routine calibration of mechanical parameters (Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio) has been shown to be important for force reconstruction. However, the reliance on existing in-situ calibration methods for accurate force measurements limits their cost-effective and flexible applications. This article proposes a new in-situ calibration scheme that relies only on comparing contact deformation. Based on the detailed derivations of the normal contact and torsional contact theories, we designed a simple and low-cost calibration device, EasyCalib, and validated its effectiveness through extensive finite element analysis. We also explored the accuracy of EasyCalib in the practical application and demonstrated that accurate contact distributed force reconstruction can be realized based on the mechanical parameters obtained. EasyCalib balances low hardware cost, ease of operation, and low dependence on technical expertise and is expected to provide the necessary accuracy guarantees for wide applications of visuotactile sensors in the wild.

description: We demonstrate the capabilities of a published MADNet monocular height estimation network in producing a refined digital terrain model (DTM) mosaic at 50 cm/pixel resolution for the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover landing site in Jezero crater on Mars. Our approach utilizes the publicly available Mars 2020 Terrain Relative Navigation (TRN) High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) Digital Terrain Model (DTM) mosaic, which was originally created by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Astrogeology Science Centre. Our resultant HiRISE MADNet DTM mosaic is strictly matched with the original HiRISE TRN DTM and orthoimage mosaics. These mosaics are themselves co-aligned with the USGS TRN Context Camera (CTX) based DTM and orthoimage mosaics, as well as the ESA/DLR/FUB (European Space Agency/German Aerospace Center/Free University Berlin) High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) level 5 DTM and orthoimage mosaics. In this paper, we provide a brief description of the technical details, and present both visual and quantitative assessments of the refined MADNet HiRISE Jezero DTM mosaic product. This DTM product is now publicly available at http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-38359.

description: The Abelian Sandpile Model, seen as a deterministic lattice automaton, on two-dimensional periodic graphs generates complex regular patterns displaying (fractal) self-similarity. In particular, on a variety of lattices and initial conditions, at all sizes, there appears what we call an exact Sierpinski structure: the volume is filled with periodic patterns, glued together along straight lines, with the topology of a triangular Sierpinski gasket. Various lattices (square, hexagonal, kagome,...), initial conditions, and toppling rules show Sierpinski structures which are apparently unrelated and involve different mechanisms. As will be shown elsewhere, all these structures fall under one roof, and are in fact different projections of a unique mechanism pertinent to a family of deterministic surfaces in a 4-dimensional lattice. This short note gives a description of this surface, and of the combinatorics associated to its construction.
Las políticas de ciencia abierta vistas desde la perspectiva de las comunidades de investigadores: el caso de Perú

description: La ciencia abierta tiene varias ventajas: el mismo aspecto de ser abierta ayuda a acelerar la investigación (Woelfle et al., 2011). Según McKiernan et al. (2016), los estudios han demostrado los importantes beneficios de las citas abiertas y que varias fundaciones están impulsando la ciencia abierta, y más organizaciones están reconociendo las prácticas abiertas en la evaluación académica. Además, tiene el potencial de dar coherencia a un sistema de conocimiento global compartido (Méndez, 2021). La ciencia abierta está ganando adeptos en todo el mundo, con políticas de ciencia abierta promulgadas a nivel institucional, nacional, regional e internacional. Mientras que la aplicación práctica es un asunto ascendente, las políticas y estrategias nacionales y todo tipo de políticas en general son cuestiones descendentes (Méndez, 2021). Además, se afirma que las políticas institucionales de ciencia abierta solo pueden tener éxito si se desarrollan en estrecha colaboración con los investigadores y no de arriba abajo (Ali-Khan et al., 2017). Por lo tanto, este trabajo pretende investigar cómo la ciencia abierta se inserta en el modo 2 de producción de conocimiento (Gibbons et al., 2010) (Hessels y Van Lente, 2008). Durante los últimos diez años, muchas instituciones han comenzado a diseñar, adoptar y aplicar políticas de ciencia abierta (Schmidt et al., 2018) (Kretser et al., 2019). Sin embargo, existe un vacío en la investigación para abordar cómo estas políticas impactan en la producción de conocimiento de los investigadores. Por lo tanto, este trabajo busca indagar en las opiniones, percepciones y experiencias de los investigadores sobre la ciencia abierta en relación con los procesos de producción de conocimiento de los investigadores de Perú. Se busca ofrecer una visión general de cómo las comunidades de investigadores de las ciencias básicas -física, química y biología- visualizan las políticas de ciencia abierta, lo que significa su opinión y discurso al respecto y si sus procesos de producción de conocimiento han cambiado con esto.
Front National Ascendant?: Explaining the Front National’s Enduring and Rising Popularity
Creators: name: Baer, Dominik Maximilian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: The Front National has seen enduring and rising popularity since the 2008 Financial       Crisis. Unlike many other populist parties, the Front National has managed to weather both       good and bad times. Scholars have identified any explanations for this sustained success.       Some have offered systemic explanations, others have instead offered institutional       explanations, and others still have argued for a political explanation. None of these offer a full       and nuanced understanding of the rise in the Front National’s popularity.         The Front National remains popular in France not only for systemic, institutional and       political reasons, but also for some uniquely French reasons. France’s unique 20th Century has       left room for populist and sovereigntist politicians to claim political legitimacy and find a       voice. France’s history and societal structure make it a perfect storm of sorts for the forging of       an enduring, present and powerful populist lobby, which today takes the form of the Front       National.

Human rights cities: “walking the walk” or “talking the talk”? Analysing the responsibility of human rights cities for their human rights commitment

description: In the context of widespread urbanisation and glocalization the importance and the potential of the local level in implementing Human Rights Law are being increasingly acknowledged, both at the international, regional and local levels, with the Human Rights City as one of its upshots. Holding the local level, and more specifically the Human Rights City, responsible for its human rights commitment has, however, been largely ignored. No standardised way to verify whether Human Rights Cities are “walking the walk” instead of “talking the talk” is available. Consequently, this study focuses on the ramifications and the operationalising of the responsibility for the human rights commitment of so-called Human Rights Cities. First, the general ways by which urban actors translate human rights norms into specific courses of action are analysed; following that, the concept of a “Human Rights City”, its objectives and general practices are scrutinised. This analysis leads to the conclusion that the current operation of Human Rights Cities sometimes bears witness to the practice of ‘rhetoric without accountability’ and that some practices are more lenient towards and suitable for incorporating the enforceable side of human rights. Subsequently, it is questioned whether the international and regional levels provide some mechanisms to hold a Human Rights City responsible for not living up to its human rights commitment. The still too much state-centred focus of Human Rights Law, and the non-binding nature (entailing the need of support of the local level itself) and lack of focus on enforcement mechanisms of the documents specifically targeting the local level and urban actors, however, led to a negative answer. Therefore, after assessing some already established good practices in existing Human Rights Cities, the term “responsibility mechanisms” covering both monitoring and enforcement mechanisms is coined and some suggestions of such mechanisms are provided. Additionally, a list of principles that should be taken into account at all times when developing responsibility mechanisms is drafted. This study can be the first step on which further analysis regarding the responsibility of Human Rights Cities for their human rights commitment can build. Particularly, on the one hand, the identified principles that should be taken into account at all times, and, on the other hand, the specific suggestions regarding responsibility mechanisms can prove to be a useful starting point for more research by academia or the Human Rights Cities already eagerly willing to “walk the walk”.

description: This study compared landing biomechanics variables (knee valgus displacement, peak knee abduction moment, knee flexion displacement, peak vertical ground reaction force [vGRF]) during both landings of a vertical drop jump (VDJ1 and VDJ2) task and volleyball specific tasks (attack jump [AJ], block jump from left [BJL], block jump from right [BJR]). Twenty competitive female volleyball players completed 3 trials each of the randomized jump tasks (VDJ1, VDJ2, AJ, BJL, BJR) while landing biomechanics were collected. A significant difference was found in knee flexion displacement between VDJ1 and AJ (p = 0.000), VDJ1 and BJL (p = 0.000), VDJ1 and BJL (p = 0.000), and VDJ1 and VDJ2 (p = 0.001). Subjects displayed increased knee flexion displacement during VDJ1 compared to volleyball specific tasks and VDJ2. There were no significant differences in vGRF or frontal plane (knee valgus displacement and peak knee abduction moment) biomechanics between VDJ1 and volleyball specific tasks.

description: The Lieb lattice is one of the simplest lattices that exhibits both linear Dirac-like and flat topological electronic bands. We propose to further tailor its electronic properties through periodic 1D electrostatic superlattices (SLs), which, in the long wavelength limit, were predicted to give rise to novel transport signatures, such as the omnidirectional super-Klein tunnelling (SKT). By numerically modelling the electronic structure at tight-binding level, we uncover the evolution of the Lieb SL band structure from the discrete all the way to the continuum regime and build a comprehensive picture of the Lieb lattice under 1D potentials. This approach allows us to also take into consideration the discrete lattice symmetry-breaking that occurs at the well/barrier interfaces created by the 1D SL, whose consequences cannot be explored using the previous low energy and long wavelength approaches. We find novel features in the band structure, among which are intersections of quadratic and flat bands, tilted Dirac cones, or series of additional anisotropic Dirac cones at energies where the SKT is predicted. Such features are relevant to experimental realizations of electronic transport in Lieb 1D SL realized in artificial lattices or in real material systems like 2D covalent organic/metal-organic frameworks and inorganic 2D solids.

description: Topological superconductors possess a nodeless superconducting gap in the bulk and gapless zero energy modes, known as "Majorana zero modes", at the boundary of a finite system. In this work, we introduce a new class of topological superconductors, which are protected by nonsymmorphic crystalline symmetry and thus dubbed "topological nonsymmorphic crystalline superconductors". We construct an explicit Bogoliubov-de Gennes type of model for this superconducting phase in the D class and show how Majorana zero modes in this model are protected by glide symmetry. Furthermore, we generalize the classification of topological nonsymmorphic crystalline superconductors to the classes with time reversal symmetry, including the DIII and BDI classes, in two dimensions. Our theory provides a guidance to search for new topological superconducting materials with nonsymmorphic crystal structures.
description: In this new version, we update the topological classification and show several model studies for systems in symmetry class D, BDI and DIII

Clinician perspectives on current implementation of digitally fabricated complete dentures: A survey of prosthodontists.
Creators: name: Castelin, Christine Marie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Purpose: New technologies in dentistry aim to make clinical practice of higher quality, more predictable, and more efficient, but the cost of this convenience is not always considered. Digitally fabricated dentures are one such technology for which we have little research on the cost and benefits. The purpose of this survey was to explore the current usage of traditional and digitally fabricated dentures among general dentists and prosthodontists in the United States.       Methods: A confidential survey was conducted, comprised of 20 questions, using Qualtrics® Research Suite. The survey was distributed via electronic mail (email) to members of the North Carolina Dental Society and the American College of Prosthodontics. Chi-Squared tests and Fisher’s Exact tests were used to analyze the data.       Results: Out of 5,199 NCDS participants emailed the survey, 129 (2.5%) responded. Out of 1,820 ACP emails, 305 (16.8%) responded. Univariate and bivariate analyses revealed several statistically significant comparisons when evaluating data from prosthodontists only. Of prosthodontist participants, 31.5% responded that they are currently implementing digital dentures, with 36.6% interested in learning and/or incorporating digital denture techniques. Only 37.7% reported they have not tried the technology and 12.7% that they have tried the technology, but are not interested in using it again. When considering factors that are important when considering the implementation of digital denture technology in practice, 55.8% agree laboratory costs matter, 72.1% agree total chair time spent matters, and 81.9% agree patient satisfaction matters. About 12 respondents added comments specifically about unacceptable esthetics of digitally fabricated dentures compared with conventional dentures as a drawback to the technology.       Conclusion: The survey results demonstrated that prosthodontists are implementing digitally fabricated dentures in their clinical practice as well as in educational settings, but not at the rate that might be expected of a technology that has been available for 8 or more years. Prosthodontists who graduated from dental school after about 1991 seem most interested in learning about and incorporating these newer technologies. Considering the factors that matter to implementing this newer technology, time, cost, and patient satisfaction seem to be important.

The current incompleteness, polyploidy and low coverage of most plant genomes prompt for further improvements of orthology prediction using evolutionary-related information such as sequence variability and gene order. While a majority of orthology prediction approaches for large genome-scale datasets typically relies on reciprocal-best-BLAST-hits (RBBH), they suffer from insufficiencies related to incorrect prediction of paralogs as orthologs when incomplete genome sequences or gene loss are present. In addition, there is an increasing interest to identify orthologs most likely to have retained similar function. To address these issues, we have developed a high-throughput multi-threaded computational approach that predicts orthologs using DNA and protein sequences and identifies which orthologs have similar genomic context and are likely to have similar function. First, we predict putative orthologs using commonly predicted DNA and protein based RBBHs. This dual approach is used whenever possible to reduce the number of false positives. Second, genomic context conservation is used to provide further support for orthologs assignment and to help with the identification of missing orthologs. Orthologs are predicted to have a higher likelihood of being similar in function if their relative genomic context is conserved. Third, the list of putative orthologs for pairs of plant species (e.g. B. distachyon and S. bicolor) is used to explore pathway similarities for the same biological process and discover putative enzymes omitted in some plant species.

The Lassiter Rank II: A Renewed Ranking System and Analysis of Division I Athletic Department Success
Creators: name: LeClair, Brett
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Prior to 2001, there was a void in collegiate athletics research as it related to ranking athletic departments on their all-around success. Traditional ranking systems only considered on-field performance, despite the NCAA, conferences, and individual athletic departments stating overtly that their missions were to do so much more than win games. Zack Lassiter sought to fill that void with his 2001 study “The Lassiter Rank,” which ranked NCAA Division I on their athletic success, academic success, and commitment to gender equity. This study will provide a checkup on the Lassiter Rank (2001) nearly two decades after its release, following the same framework but introducing some more current and relevant ranking criteria.

THE DIMENSIONALITY OF YOUTH IRRITABILITY IN A NON-CLINICAL US SAMPLE

Year: 2020

description: The status of irritability as a feature of mood and behavior disorders in children has been a topic of much debate. One problem is that the construct has been inconsistently and narrowly defined. The present work uses exploratory analyses of a novel behavioral measure to clarify the boundaries of irritability in youth in a nationally representative sample. Parents (N = 1349) responded to statements about their children’s symptoms related to irritability, hypomania, internalizing problems, disruptive behavior, and other related constructs. They also provided demographic and health-history information, which was correlated with scale scores to assess convergent validity. Six factors were identified, all with high internal consistency and criterion correlations that supported the validity of the scales. Results suggest that irritability might be most closely associated with disruptive behavior disorders, however high inter-factor correlations support the observation that it also plays a role in mood disorders, such as pediatric bipolar disorder.

description: The ability to integrate multiple distinct properties into a single structure is the driving force behind the development of NiTi to Ti6Al4V dissimilar joints. However, differences in thermophysical properties and the subsequent development of brittle Ti2Ni and Ni3Ti intermetallic compounds (IMCs) make fusion welding of these alloys rather challenging. The solidification of brittle IMC causes cracking upon solidification and a significant reduction on the joint mechanical properties. In this study, two strategies were used concurrently to reduce the formation of brittle IMC: zirconium (Zr) interlayer was introduced alongside with the laser beam being offset to the Ti6Al4V side. The influence on microstructural evolution was investigated using various characterization techniques. Scanning electron microscopy aided by energy dispersive spectroscopy and micro-X-ray diffraction supported by Rietveld refinement revealed that the volume fraction of the Ti2Ni brittle phase was drastically reduced from 90 to 9%, leading to improvements on the joint mechanical performance. A joint with a lower hardness of 392 HV was obtained, compared to 515 HV for the conventional NiTi/Ti6Al4V joint. The strength and ductility of the Zr-interlayered joint were improved to 320 MPa and 1.7%, respectively, compared to 148 MPa and 0.8% for the Zr-free joint.

description: We show that the q-exponential function is a hypergeometric function. Accordingly, it obeys the hypergeometric differential equation. We demonstrate that this differential equation is a non-linear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). This NLSE exhibits both similarities and differences vis-a-vis the Nobre-Rego Monteiro-Tsallis one.

description: The crystalline quality and degree of c-axis orientation of hexagonal AlN thin films correlate directly with their functional properties. Therefore, achieving AlN thin films of high crystalline quality and texture is of extraordinary importance for many applications, but in particular in electronic devices. Here, we present a systematic study revealing that the growth of c-axis orientated AlN thin films can be governed by a chemical stabilization effect in addition to the conventionally known structural, i.e. strain-induced, stabilization mechanism. The promotion of in-plane growth of AlN grains with c-axis out-of-plane orientation is demonstrated on Y, W or Al seed layers with different thicknesses and crystallinity preliminary exposed to N2 at room temperature. We establish that the stabilization mechanism is chemical in nature: the formation of an N-rich surface layer on the metal seed layers upon exposure to N2 pre-determines the polarity of AlN islands at initial stages of thin film growth while the low energy barrier for the subsequent coalescence of islands of the same polarity contributes to grain growth. These results suggest that the growth of c-axis oriented AlN thin films can be optimized and controlled chemically thus opening more pathways for energy-efficient and controllable AlN thin-film growth processes.

description: We present a novel scheme for rapid quantitative analysis of debris generated during experiments with solid targets following relativistic laser-plasma interaction at high-power laser facilities. Experimental data indicates that predictions by available modelling for non-mass-limited targets are reasonable, with debris on the order of hundreds ug-per-shot. We detect for the first time that several % of the debris is ejected directional following the target normal (rear- and interaction side); and confirm previous work that found the debris ejection in direction of the interaction side to be larger than on the side of the target rear.
