description: Owing to the rapid progress in laser technology, very high-contrast femtosecond laser pulses of relativistic intensities become available. These pulses allow for interaction with micro-structured solid-density plasma without destroying the structure by parasitic pre-pulses. This opens a new realm of possibilities for laser interaction with micro- and nano-scales photonic materials at the relativistic intensities. Here we demonstrate, for the first time, that when coupling with a readily available 1.8 Joule laser, a micro-plasma-waveguide (MPW) may serve as a novel compact x-ray source. Electrons are extracted from the walls and form a dense self-organized helical bunch inside the channel. These electrons are efficiently accelerated and wiggled by the waveguide modes in the MPW, which results in a bright, well-collimated emission of hard x-rays in the range of 1~100 keV.

description: The chemical composition of multiple populations in the massive globular cluster (GC) NGC~2808 is addressed with the homogeneous abundance re-analysis of 140 red giant branch (RGB) stars. UVES spectra for 31 stars and GIRAFFE spectra for the other giants were analysed with the same procedures used for about 2500 giants in 23 GCs in our FLAMES survey, deriving abundances of Fe, O, Na, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Sc, Cr, Mn, and Ni. Iron, elements from alpha-capture, and in the Fe-group do not show intrinsic scatter. On our UVES scale the metallicity of NGC~2808 is [Fe/H]=-1.129+/-0.005+/-0.034$ (+/-statistical +/-systematic error) with sigma=0.030 (31 stars). Main features related to proton-capture elements are retrieved, but the improved statistics and the smaller associated internal errors allow to uncover five distinct groups of stars along the Na-O anticorrelation. We observe large depletions in Mg, anticorrelated with enhancements of Na and also Si, suggestive of unusually high temperatures for proton-captures. About 14% of our sample is formed by giants with solar or subsolar [Mg/Fe] ratios. Using the [Na/Mg] ratios we confirm the presence of five populations with different chemical composition, that we called P1, P2, I1, I2, and E in order of decreasing Mg and increasing Na abundances. Statistical tests show that the mean ratios in any pair of groups cannot be extracted from the same parent distribution. The overlap with the five populations recently detected from UV photometry is good but not perfect, confirming that more distinct components probably exist in this complex GC.

description: Reactions involving three or more reactants, called higher-molecular reactions, play an important role in mathematical modelling in systems and synthetic biology. In particular, such reactions underpin a variety of important bio-dynamical phenomena, such as multi-stability/multi-modality, oscillations, bifurcations, and noise-induced effects. However, as opposed to reactions involving at most two reactants, called bi-molecular reactions, higher-molecular reactions are biochemically improbable. To bridge the gap, in this paper we put forward an algorithm for systematically approximating arbitrary higher-molecular reactions with bi-molecular ones, while preserving the underlying stochastic dynamics. Properties of the algorithm and convergence are established via singular perturbation theory. The algorithm is applied to a variety of higher-molecular biochemical networks, and is shown to play an important role in synthetic biology.

description: We elaborate on the dynamics of ionized interstellar medium in the presence of hidden photon dark matter. Our main focus is the ultra-light regime, where the hidden photon mass is smaller than the plasma frequency in the Milky Way. We point out that as a result of the Galactic plasma shielding direct detection of ultra-light photons in this mass range is especially challenging. However, we demonstrate that ultra-light hidden photon dark matter provides a powerful heating source for the ionized interstellar medium. This results in a strong bound on the kinetic mixing between hidden and regular photons all the way down to the hidden photon masses of order $10^{-20}$ eV.

description: This study aims to describe the development of national education policies by uniting the main character values set by the Indonesian Ministry of Education with the moral values of the Lonto leok culture of the Manggarai community. Also, to find out and explain the role of the principal’s leadership based on the Lonto Leok culture teaching approach. This research used a qualitative approach, case study design. To achieve research objectives, data collection through in-depth interviews, observation of participants, and study documentation. Data analysis used a modified analytic analysis method. Data validity is assessed based on the level of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The results of the study explained that the school’s character values derived from the unification of national character values and the cultural values of Lonto Leok culture had an effective impact on shaping the character of students at school. Besides, explaining that the application of the principal’s transformational leadership role model-based on the approach of Lonto Leok’s cultural teaching dimensions encourages all components of the school, parents, and community to actively participate in supporting the implementation of character education strengthening programs in schools. The contribution of this research is to position the moral values of the “Lonto Leok” culture of the Manggarai community as local cultural assets that support the formation of student character. Also, the dimensions of teaching lonto leok culture affect effectively supporting the principal’s transformational leadership behavior, so that the program to strengthen character education is optimally implemented.
THE ACUTE EFFECTS OF A HIGH GLYCEMIC INDEX MEAL COMBINED WITH PROLONGED SITTING ON VASCULAR FUNCTION: A RANDOMIZED CROSSOVER TRIAL
Creators: name: Kelsch, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Chronic prolonged sitting and consumption of high glycemic index (GI) meals are known to increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, it is currently unknown whether prolonged sitting and consumption of a high GI meal have a combined negative acute effect on local and central arterial stiffness (AS). Therefore, 18 young, healthy participants (21.7±2.5 y, 70% F, 25.5±6.1 kg/m2) were randomized to: 3h sitting with a high GI beverage (HGI) or a low GI beverage (LGI). Prolonged sitting (3 hours) and consumption of a HGI beverage increased central (brachial-femoral) AS, in the LGI (0.27 m/s) and the HGI (0.45 m/s) condition (p=0.027). Peripheral (femoral-ankle) PWV increased (0.211 m/s) regardless of the level of GI consumed. Carotid-femoral PWV was not influenced by prolonged sitting or HGI meal consumption. Sitting increases central and peripheral AS in young, healthy individuals. Consuming a HGI meal has a moderate detrimental effect on central (brachial-femoral) PWV.

description: Observed enhancements in the forward and backward directions for $ϕ$ meson photoproduction off nucleons are shown to be explainable by the production of a nonresonant recoiling $(su)$ diquark, $(\bar s ud)$ triquark pair. We show that the necessity of maintaining approximate collinearity of the quarks within these units constrains configurations with the minimum momentum transfer, and hence maximal amplitudes, to lie preferentially along the reaction axis.

Deriving star formation histories from photometry using energy balance spectral energy distribution modelling

description: Panchromatic spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting is a critical tool for determining the physical properties of distant galaxies, such as their stellar mass and star formation rate. One widely used method is the publicly available MAGPHYS code. We build on our previous analysis (Hayward & Smith 2015) by presenting some modifications which enable MAGPHYS to automatically estimate galaxy star formation histories (SFHs), including uncertainties, based on ultra-violet to far-infrared photometry. We use state-of-the art synthetic photometry derived by performing three-dimensional dust radiative transfer on hydrodynamic simulations of isolated disc and merging galaxies to test how well the modified MAGPHYS is able to recover SFHs under idealised conditions, where the true SFH is known. We find that while the SFH of the model with the best fit to the synthetic photometry is a poor representation of the true SFH (showing large variations with the line-of-sight to the galaxy and spurious bursts of star formation), median-likelihood SFHs generated by marginalising over the default MAGPHYS libraries produce robust estimates of the smoothly-varying isolated disk simulation SFHs. This preference for the median-likelihood SFH is quantitatively underlined by our estimates of $χ^2_{\rm SFH}$ (analogous to the $χ^2$ goodness-of-fit estimator) and $ΔM/M$ (the integrated absolute mass discrepancy between the model and true SFH) that strongly prefer the median-likelihood SFHs over those that best fit the UV-to-far-IR photometry. In contrast, we are unable to derive a good estimate of the SFH for the merger simulations (either best-fit or median-likelihood) despite being able to obtain a reasonable fit to the simulated photometry, likely because the analytic SFHs with bursts superposed in the standard MAGPHYS library are insufficiently general/realistic.

description: We present in this paper the behavior of an artificial agent who is a member of a crowd. The behavior is based on the social comparison theory, as well as the trajectory mapping towards an agent's goal considering the agent's field of vision. The crowd of artificial agents were able to exhibit arching, clogging, and bursty exit rates. We were also able to observe a new phenomenon we called double arching, which happens towards the end of the simulation, and whose onset is exhibited by a "calm" density graph within the exit passage. The density graph is usually bursty at this area. Because of these exhibited phenomena, we can use these agents with high confidence to perform microsimulation studies for modeling the behavior of humans and objects in very realistic ways.

description: Scaling relations of clusters have made them particularly important cosmological probes of structure formation. In this work, we present a comprehensive study of the relation between two profile observables, concentration ($\mathrm{c_{vir}}$) and mass ($\mathrm{M_{vir}}$). We have collected the largest known sample of measurements from the literature which make use of one or more of the following reconstruction techniques: Weak gravitational lensing (WL), strong gravitational lensing (SL), Weak+Strong Lensing (WL+SL), the Caustic Method (CM), Line-of-sight Velocity Dispersion (LOSVD), and X-ray. We find that the concentration-mass (c-M) relation is highly variable depending upon the reconstruction technique used. We also find concentrations derived from dark matter only simulations (at approximately $\mathrm{M_{vir} \sim 10^{14} M_{\odot}}$) to be inconsistent with the WL and WL+SL relations at the $\mathrm{1σ}$ level, even after the projection of triaxial halos is taken into account. However, to fully determine consistency between simulations and observations, a volume-limited sample of clusters is required, as selection effects become increasingly more important in answering this. Interestingly, we also find evidence for a steeper WL+SL relation as compared to WL alone, a result which could perhaps be caused by the varying shape of cluster isodensities, though most likely reflects differences in selection effects caused by these two techniques. Lastly, we compare concentration and mass measurements of individual clusters made using more than one technique, highlighting the magnitude of the potential bias which could exist in such observational samples.

Research Aim 2 To evaluate whether a series of behaviourally informed interventions before, during and after the video meeting can improve the quality of that contact and further reduce prejudice towards those with opposite political views, and increase social cohesion. Our ability to answer this second question is conditional on achieving a sufficient sample size.

description: We combine deep X-ray survey data from the Chandra observatory and the wide-area/shallow XMM-XXL field to estimate the AGN X-ray luminosity function in the redshift range z=3-5. The sample consists of nearly 340 sources with either photometric (212) or spectroscopic (128) redshift in the above range. The combination of deep and shallow survey fields provides a luminosity baseline of three orders of magnitude, Lx(2-10keV)~1e43-1e46erg/s at z>3. We follow a Bayesian approach to determine the binned AGN space density and explore their evolution in a model-independent way. Our methodology accounts for Poisson errors in the determination of X-ray fluxes and uncertainties in photometric redshift estimates. We demonstrate that the latter is essential for unbiased measurement of space densities. We find that the AGN X-ray luminosity function evolves strongly between the redshift intervals z=3-4 and z=4-5. There is also suggestive evidence that the amplitude of this evolution is luminosity dependent. The space density of AGN with Lx<1e45erg/s drops by a factor of 5 between the redshift intervals above, while the evolution of brighter AGN appears to be milder. Comparison of our X-ray luminosity function with that of UV/optical selected QSOs at similar redshifts shows broad agreement at bright luminosities, Lx>1e45erg/s. The faint-end slope of UV/optical luminosity functions however, is steeper than for X-ray selected AGN. This implies that the type-I AGN fraction increases with decreasing luminosity at z>3, opposite to trends established at lower redshift. We also assess the significance of AGN in keeping the hydrogen ionised at high redshift. Our X-ray luminosity function yields ionising photon rate densities that are insufficient to keep the Universe ionised at redshift z>4. A source of uncertainty in this calculation is the escape fraction of UV photons for X-ray selected AGN.

Maladaptive Schemata and Effort-Reward Imbalance in Physicians and Psychotherapists – a Systematic Review

description: The impetus for our systematic review came from a series of international studies that show that physicians often suffer from work stress and burnout. The reasons for this seem to be mainly found in the working conditions. However, we assume that "intrinsic" factors also play a role. Early maladaptive schemata (MS) can serve as markers for intrinsic stress. A schema comprises permanent, unfavorable patterns of feelings, thoughts and memories that control behavior in a concrete situation. The multi-layered concept of schemata appears to be more meaningful than rather one-dimensional personality traits. Consequently, intrinsic factors are of great importance when it comes to the development of prevention and support measures for strained physicians and psychotherapists. In order to get an overview of the data available so far, we are planning a systematic review of international studies on gratification crises (effort-reward-imbalance) and MS among physicians and psychotherapists. For this purpose, a systematic literature search in the years from 2000 to 2020 in the databases Pubmed, Psyndex and Google Scholar will be conducted. As search terms we define "schema", "maladaptive schema" combined with "physician", "psychiatrist", "psychotherapist", "psychologist". These shall further be linked with the search terms "effort reward (imbalance)" or "effort-reward (imbalance)". In the medium to long term, the presentation of previous data on occupational stress (effort-reward imbalance), mental health (burnout) and maladaptive schemata can form the basis for the further investigation of occupational stress factors by physicians and psychotherapists. Consequently the study presentation makes an important contribution to the development of individualized, tailored psychotherapeutic prevention and intervention services.

"That's Where I Draw the Line": How Issue-Publics can Overcome Partisan Tribalism
Creators: name: Ehlinger, J
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: The primacy of partisanship over issue-attitudes is a foundational finding in political behavior. Yet, scholars find that not all issue-attitudes are created equal. Many citizens are members of issue-publics: groups of people that are passionate about a single or narrow subset of related issues. This raises the question: are issue-publics uniquely capable of shedding partisan tribalism in favor of issue-based concerns? I contend that issue-publics' policy preferences should change little when presented counter-attitudinal party cues. Additionally, issue-publics should vote for out-party candidates if both candidates adopt out-party stances. Otherwise, issue-publics should vote for their party's candidate. Other research that explored these questions had important limitations, which I resolve by coding an open-ended response in conjunction with an issue-ranking system. This allowed me to test the relative influence of partisanship against several issues of varying importance that were unique to each respondent. While the results regarding whether issue-publics resist partisan cues are unclear, I find strong support for my framework outlining the conditions under which people will vote for out-partisans.

description: Large-scale databases that report the inhibitory capacities of many combinations of candidate drug compounds and cultivated cancer cell lines have driven the development of preclinical drug-sensitivity models based on machine learning. However, cultivated cell lines have devolved from human cancer cells over years or even decades under selective pressure in culture conditions. Moreover, models that have been trained on in vitro data cannot account for interactions with other types of cells. Drug-response data that are based on patient-derived cell cultures, xenografts, and organoids, on the other hand, are not available in the quantities that are needed to train high-capacity machine-learning models. We found that pre-training deep neural network models of drug sensitivity on in vitro drug-sensitivity databases before fine-tuning the model parameters on patient-derived data improves the models’ accuracy and improves the biological plausibility of the features, compared to training only on patient-derived data. From our experiments, we can conclude that pre-trained models outperform models that have been trained on the target domains in the vast majority of cases.

description: Is the existing legal framework suitable for “algorithmic bosses”? What if technology ends up disrupting the traditional limits of the legitimate managerial powers? The overarching goal of this paper is to determine whether digital automation has resulted in the augmentation of the organisational, control and disciplinary prerogatives of employers, managers and supervisors. Prior to validating the hypothesis of the magnification of powers, which gives rise to what we call boss ex machina, it is worth examining the spectacular extravagance of the contract of employment. If viewed through the lens of power, the employment relationship is structurally ambivalent because it both enables a condition of employer supremacy and tones it down through mandatory provisions, process-based restraints and collectively negotiated counterweights. This entire system of “controlling factors” is currently experiencing sustained stress.
 Using plain language, this paper is structured into four sections. Section 2 reflects on the apparent aims of the employment relationship by disentangling the meaning of the dominant position held by employers. Building on this, Section 3 catalogues the most widespread technologies currently invading the workplace and argues that, despite their heterogenous usages, the common denominator is the possibility of capturing and elaborating information that can be used to support managers in making executive decisions. Section 4 establishes the perils of the augmentation of managerial prerogatives through the adoption of automated decision-making. Taking a multidimensional approach, it also introduces remedies from data protection and non-discrimination law that could be read in conjunction with employment legislation to tame these rampant algorithmic bosses. Section 5 wraps up the chapter and offers some concluding remarks

description: Extracellular vesicles are mainly composed of microvesicles, apoptotic vesicles, and exosomes. They have a double-layer membrane structure and are shed from cell membranes or secreted by cells. As one type of small vesicle with a diameter of 40~100 nm and a density of 1.10~1.18 g/ml, exosomes can carry nucleic acid, protein mass and lipids. and exist in various body fluids such as blood, saliva and urine. Exosomes can affect cell functions by transferring substances such as nucleic acids, proteins and lipids between cells. For example, they play an essential role in antigen presentation in antigen-presenting cells, in the development of tumour cells, and in signal transduction in nerve cells. The detection and analysis of exosomes can accelerate disease-related basic research, and assist in disease diagnosis, drug development, therapeutic research, and drug efficacy evaluation.
Resident perspectives on the impacts of scarcity of private well water at Irongate Drive, Apex, NC
Creators: name: Lockhart, Sydney

Year: 2019

description: Bordering the wealthy town of Apex, North Carolina, is a majority African-American neighborhood, Irongate Drive, that does not have town water service and instead relies on private wells. Residents have long sought access to town water as their wells are running dry.  However, their problems have not been systematically documented. Using a comprehensive survey and qualitative interviews, this study assesses the frequency of water shortages, uncovers the effects on daily lives, and reports on water source preferences. I found that 80% of households have water quantity problems. Respondents reported not having enough water to cook, flush toilets, shower, wash hands, or do laundry. Annual well maintenance costs averaged $1,405 and ranged up to $20,000; additional costs included paying for laundromats and paper plates. More than 75% actively seek municipal water, and none oppose it. These results could inform assessments of impacts of water access disparities in similar peri-urban communities nationwide.

description: The most general class of non-locality criteria for N-partite d-chotomic systems with k number of measurement settings is derived under the constraint of measurement symmetries. It is the complete characterisation of the multi-partite non-locality when the correlation is assumed to be symmetric under the choice of measurement settings. The generalized non-locality condition is obtained using the correlation functions, which are derived from Fourier analysis of probability spectrums. It is found that the condition for the local hidden variable (LHV) model is violated by multipartite quantum states and general constraints for the quantum violation of maximally entangled state has been obtained.

description: Recent technological advances have played a pivotal role in altering the tourism industry, augmenting the impact of the sector’s rapid expansion by facilitating individual-to-individual accommodation rentals not regulated under current law. This study seeks to understand the specific motivations which prompt local policymakers to regulate the burgeoning platform accommodation rental sphere, utilizing a case study framework to do so. Relying on qualitative interviews and text analysis, the study identifies factors motivating policymakers to regulate Airbnb in the city of Barcelona, Spain. Results indicate that the public plays an unprecedented role in the regulatory process, while regulatory order and hotel interests play a reduced role. Ultimately, there is evidence that an underlying awareness of over-tourism conditions policymaker decisions.

description: Diffuse radio emission in galaxy clusters is known to be related to cluster mass and cluster dynamical state. We collect the observed fluxes of radio halos, relics, and mini-halos for a sample of galaxy clusters from the literature, and calculate their radio powers. We then obtain the values of cluster mass or mass proxies from previous observations, and also obtain the various dynamical parameters of these galaxy clusters from optical and X-ray data. The radio powers of relics, halos, and mini-halos are correlated with the cluster masses or mass proxies, as found by previous authors, with the correlations concerning giant radio halos being, in general, the strongest ones. We found that the inclusion of dynamical parameters as the third dimension can significantly reduce the data scatter for the scaling relations, especially for radio halos. We therefore conclude that the substructures in X-ray images of galaxy clusters and the irregular distributions of optical brightness of member galaxies can be used to quantitatively characterize the shock waves and turbulence in the intracluster medium responsible for re-accelerating particles to generate the observed diffuse radio emission. The power of radio halos and relics is correlated with cluster mass proxies and dynamical parameters in the form of a fundamental plane.

description: In 2017, MGM Resorts International (MGM) implemented a new, branded responsible gambling (RG) program, called GameSense®. RG programs include a variety of tools aimed at helping gamblers, such as education programs, warning messages, player behavior tracking, and self-exclusion systems (Ladouceur, Shaffer, Blaszczynski, & Shaffer, 2017; Wood & Griffiths, 2014; Wood, Wohl, Tabri, & Philander, 2017). Employees are often the front-line for these programs, actively communicating with guests and often serving as the first point of contact for individuals looking for help with gambling problems (Riley et al., 2018). The present study includes an assessment of MGM employees and their response to the GameSense program in the U.S. Specifically, it seeks to address two elements of the program evaluation: Awareness – Do employees understand the GameSense program and its intended goals for MGM and players? Attitudes – What are employees’ attitudes toward and opinions on the GameSense program and its intended goals for MGM and players?

description: Many approaches for solving problems in business and industry are based on analytics and statistical modeling. Analytical problem solving is driven by the modeling of relationships between dependent (Y) and independent (X) variables, and we discuss three frameworks for modeling such relationships: cause-and-effect modeling, popular in applied statistics and beyond, correlational predictive modeling, popular in machine learning, and deductive (first-principles) modeling, popular in business analytics and operations research. We aim to explain the differences between these types of models, and flesh out the implications of these differences for study design, for discovering potential X/Y relationships, and for the types of solution patterns that each type of modeling could support. We use our account to clarify the popular descriptive-diagnostic-predictive-prescriptive analytics framework, but extend it to offer a more complete model of the process of analytical problem solving, reflecting the essential differences between causal, correlational, and deductive models.
Probing the isotropy of cosmic acceleration traced by Type Ia supernovae

description: We present a method to test the isotropy of the magnitude-redshift relation of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) and single out the most discrepant direction (in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio) with respect to the all-sky data. Our technique accounts for possible directional variations of the corrections for SNe Ia and yields all-sky maps of the best-fit cosmological parameters with arbitrary angular resolution. To show its potential, we apply our method to the recent Union2.1 compilation, building maps with three different angular resolutions. We use a Monte Carlo method to estimate the statistical significance with which we could reject the null hypothesis that the magnitude-redshift relation is isotropic based on the properties of the observed most discrepant directions. We find that, based on pure signal-to-noise arguments, the null hypothesis cannot be rejected at any meaningful confidence level. However, if we also consider that the strongest deviations in the Union2.1 sample closely align with the dipole temperature anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background, we find that the null hypothesis should be rejected at the $95-99$ per cent confidence level, slightly depending on the angular resolution of the study. If this result is not due to a statistical fluke, it might either indicate that the SN data have not been cleaned from all possible systematics or even point towards new physics. We finally discuss future perspectives in the field for achieving larger and more uniform data sets that will vastly improve the quality of the results and optimally exploit our method.

description: 由于平行板流变仪内的剪切速率不一致，其直出的流变数据通常基于牛顿流体假设计算得出。当测试样品为非牛顿流体时，直出的流变数据随等效半径的选择变化并偏离真实值，从而影响测试数据的可比较性和精确性。此外，壁面滑移也会导致测试数据偏离真实值。虽然存在处理上述问题的理论方法，但是由于实测数据有限、离散、含噪声且可能不单调，其工程实现非常困难。在忽略壁面滑移的情况下，本文提出了启发式和差分式的平行板流变仪精确测试方法。相应的仿真结果表明：由启发式和差分式方法测得流变数据的偏差值分别在1%和0.01%以内。在考虑壁面滑移的情况下，本文首先分析了平行板流变仪对于未知复杂流体流变和壁面滑移行为精确测试的特殊性及实现该测试所需的充分必要条件。随后，本文编写了相应的数据后处理程序，并通过仿真验证了程序的有效性和鲁棒性。磁流变液流变行为的精确测试对于磁流变减振器系统的建模和优化至关重要。最后，本文应用该方法研究了磁流变液在零场条件下的流变与壁面滑移行为。

description: The tattoo industry is male-dominated and historically masculinized, and although women have been entering the industry in significant numbers for the last few decades, they still make up a minority of tattooers. Using data gathered from in-depth interviews with 9 women tattooers, this study looks into this gendered work environment, at the industry level as well as in each individual shop, through a feminist framework that draws from gender performativity theory and theoretical conceptions of body work, emotional labor, embodied cultural capital, and aesthetic labor. In addition to providing insight into women tattooers’ self-presentation and professionalism, the study uncovers the integral role that social media plays in the tattooer’s business and explores the boundaries between personal and professional identity in the digital age.

description: Consistency of trans-unification RG evolution is used to discuss the domain of definition of the New Minimal Supersymmetric SO(10) GUT (NMSGUT). We compute the 1-loop RGE $β$ functions, simplifying generic formulae using constraints of gauge invariance and superpotential structure. We also calculate the 2 loop contributions to the gauge coupling and gaugino mass and indicate how to get full 2 loop results for all couplings. Our method overcomes combinatorial barriers that frustrate computer algebra based attempts to calculate SO(10) $β$ functions involving large irreps. Use of the RGEs identifies a perturbative domain $Q < M_E$, where $M_E
