description: There is growing evidence that individuals actively assess the match between their phenotype and their environment when making habitat choice decisions (so-called matching habitat choice). However, to our knowledge, no studies have considered how the social environment may interact with social phenotype in determining habitat choice, despite habitat choice being an inherently social process and growing evidence for individual variation in sociability. We conducted an experiment using wild great and blue tits to understand how birds integrate their social phenotype and social environment when choosing where and how to feed. We used programmable feeders to (i) record social interactions and estimate social phenotype and (ii) experimentally manipulate the local density experienced by birds of differing social phenotype. By tracking feeder usage, we estimated how social environment and social phenotype predicted feeder choice and feeding behaviour. Both social environment and social phenotype predicted feeder usage, but a bird's decision to remain in a particular social environment did not depend on their social phenotype. By contrast, for feeding behaviour, responses to the social environment depended on social phenotype. Our results provide rare evidence of matching habitat choice and shed light on the dependence of habitat choice on between-individual differences in social phenotype.

description: We point out the difficulties in carrying out direct numerical simulation of the solar dynamo problem and argue that kinematic mean-field models are our best theoretical tools at present for explaining various aspects of the solar cycle in detail. The most promising kinematic mean-field model is the flux transport dynamo model, in which the toroidal field is produced by differential rotation in the tachocline, the poloidal field is produced by the Babcock--Leighton mechanism at the solar surface and the meridional circulation plays a crucial role. Depending on whether the diffusivity is high or low, either the diffusivity or the meridional circulations provides the main transport mechanism for the poloidal field to reach the bottom of the convection zone from the top. We point out that the high-diffusivity flux transport dynamo model is consistent with various aspects of observational data. The irregularities of the solar cycle are primarily produced by fluctuations in the Babcock--Leighton mechanism and in the meridional circulation. We summarize recent work on the fluctuations of meridional circulation in the flux transport dynamo, leading to explanations of such things as the Waldmeier effect.

description: Early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD) has been a focus of research with the hope that early intervention may improve clinical outcomes. The manifestation of motor impairment in early stages of ADRD has led to the inclusion of gait assessments (typically qualitative or focused only on spatiotemporal gait features) in clinical evaluations for these diseases. This study aims to develop the groundwork for a classification tool to improve early detection of ADRD using biomechanical gait features by determining if machine learning algorithms can decode different levels of cognitive load in healthy individuals. A dual-task paradigm was used to simulate cognitive impairment in 40 healthy adults, with single-task walking trials representing normal, healthy gait. The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task was administered at two different inter-stimulus intervals of 2.4 s and 1.6 s to manipulate cognitive load (Dual₁ and Dual₂ conditions, respectively). The primary hypothesis of this study is that using kinematic and kinetic gait features will improve classification performance compared to spatiotemporal gait features during single-task and dual-task gait classification among healthy adults. Repeated Measures ANOVA showed significant changes in 13 different gait features across all three levels of cognitive load (Single, Dual₁, and Dual₂). Three supervised machine learning algorithms (Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis, Linear Discriminant Analysis, and Neural Network Pattern Recognition) were used to classify data points using a series of different gait feature sets, and performance was based on the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve, which offers a combined measure of sensitivity and specificity on a 0-1 scale with a chance level of 0.5. Machine learning classification yielded AUC up to 0.865 for the Single vs Dual classification task (identifying presence of cognitive load), and up to 0.761 for classification across all conditions (identifying level of cognitive load). The results here show the ability to classify gait based on cognitive load with above-chance sensitivity and specificity using gait parameters and machine learning classifiers.

Convergence and divergence of stakeholder perspectives on the implementation of a restorative practices initiative
Creators: name: Oliveira, Amy
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Traditional disciplinary procedures in schools have resulted in undesirable outcomes impacting areas such as academic functioning. Restorative Practices (RP) initiatives in schools offer an alternative approach to school discipline. However, gaps remain in the literature that need to be addressed such as: a) implementation of RP in middle schools, b) convergence and divergence of stakeholder perspectives on RP components as a measure of social validity, and c) RP implementation fidelity. To address these gaps, the current study examined the degree to which students and staff shared positive perceptions about RP implementation. The study conducted secondary data analyses of 2018-2020 survey data collected from a middle school located in a Northeastern, low-income neighborhood in the United States. Included were Year 1 (2018-2019; 28 staff and 156 students) and Year 2 (2019-2020; 25 staff and 155 students) participants who completed a 35-minute survey as part of a larger evaluation. Overall, the study showed mixed perceptions about several RP components across two years of implementation, indicating some social validity. Specifically, comparisons of staff and student perspectives demonstrated a high level of convergence in 2019. Further, RP components were perceived similarly positive across student racial groups for both years. However, the notable exception to this pattern of convergence was among student gender groups. Specifically, across both years male students perceived RP components more positively compared to their non-male peers. Staff and student perspectives also had some divergence in 2020, with staff perceiving more implementation on most RP components that year. Implications are that practitioners and researchers should conduct regular data collection each year, include student voices in evaluation, and disaggregate data by groups in schools to understand shared or dissimilar experiences of RP.

description: In this paper, we compute the index form of the multiply twisted products. We study the Killing vector fields on the multiply twisted product manifolds and determine the Killing vector fields in some cases. We compute the curvature of the multiply twisted products with a semi-symmetric metric connection and show that the mixed Ricci-flat multiply twisted products with a semi-symmetric metric connection can be expressed as multiply warped products. We also study the Einstein multiply warped products with a semi-symmetric metric connection and the multiply warped products with a semi-symmetric metric connection with constant scalar curvature, we apply our results to generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes with a semi-symmetric metric connection and generalized Kasner spacetimes with a semi-symmetric metric connection and find some new examples of Einstein affine manifolds and affine manifolds with constant scalar curvature. We also consider the multiply twisted product Finsler manifolds and we get some interesting properties of these spaces.

description: We pursue a systematic treatment of the variational capacity on metric spaces and give full proofs of its basic properties. A novelty is that we study it with respect to nonopen sets, which is important for Dirichlet and obstacle problems on nonopen sets, with applications in fine potential theory. Under standard assumptions on the underlying metric space, we show that the variational capacity is a Choquet capacity and we provide several equivalent definitions for it. On open sets in weighted R^n it is shown to coincide with the usual variational capacity considered in the literature. Since some desirable properties fail on general nonopen sets, we introduce a related capacity which turns out to be a Choquet capacity in general metric spaces and for many sets coincides with the variational capacity. We provide examples demonstrating various properties of both capacities and counterexamples for when they fail. Finally, we discuss how a change of the underlying metric space influences the variational capacity and its minimizing functions.

description: Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are versatile proteins that have been suggested to be involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism. This study was designed to investigate the responses of MAPK signaling to chronic ethanol exposure in vivo and in vitro, and try to explore its role in the pathogenesis of alcoholic fatty liver (AFL). Mice were fed with Lieber-Decarli liquid diet (5% ethanol, w/v) for 4 weeks to induce fatty liver, and the chronological changes of MAPK phosphorylation were measured using western blotting. We found that chronic ethanol feeding led to accumulation of triglyceride (TG), decreased phosphorylation of MAPKs, decreased protein level of peroxisomal proliferator activation receptor α (PPARα), and increased protein expression of cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) in mice liver. In vitro study showed that overexpression of CYP2E1 blunted the response of MAPKs to ethanol, and MAPK phosphatase 1 (MKP-1) knockdown by siRNA led to upregulation of PPARα protein level. Lastly, epidermal growth factor (EGF), a well-known MAPK activator, significantly suppressed chronic ethanol-induced hepatic fat accumulation and decline of PPARα expression in mice liver. Collectively, MAPK suppression, possibly due to the activation of hepatic CYP2E1, may be involved in chronic ethanol-induced hepatic steatosis.

Conflict, cohesion, and accommodation: the impact of caregiver responses to youth who refuse school
Creators: name: Badin, Emily
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: School refusal (SR) is a pattern of difficulty attending school that can disrupt critical domains of a child’s development and can lead to short- and long-term adverse psychosocial outcomes. Although substantial evidence supports the relationship between SR and anxiety and mood disorders in youth, preliminary research suggests that other factors, such as family processes, may be stronger predictors of SR than clinical symptomology. Despite growing evidence that family factors may play a role in SR behaviors, few studies have examined both psychological and family processes in an integrated model. Additionally, no study to date has investigated the moderating impact of diagnostic profile. Therefore, the current study will 1) compare SR severity in youth across diagnostic profiles (non-clinical, anxiety-only, diagnostically complex), 2) investigate the association between family processes (family accommodation, conflict, and cohesion) and SR, and 3) examine whether diagnostic profile moderates the relationship between family processes and SR. Participants were 159 youth (ages 9-17 years) across “clinical” (n = 117) and “non-clinical” (n = 42) samples. ANCOVA, using Bonferroni-corrected pairwise comparisons, hierarchical linear regressions, and generalized linear regressions were analyzed to assess the study’s specific aims. There were significant differences in SR severity across diagnostic profiles, such that the non-clinical group exhibited the lowest SR severity, and the diagnostically complex group exhibited the greatest SR severity. Furthermore, there were significant associations between family accommodation and cohesion and SR severity, but not family conflict. Specifically, youth with greater family accommodation and lower family cohesion were related to greater SR severity. Contrary to expectations, diagnostic profile did not moderate the relationship between family processes and SR severity. However, diagnostic profile, specifically the diagnostically complex group, emerged as a robust predictor of SR severity across all moderation models. These results suggest that diagnostic profile, specifically diagnostic complexity, may be an important predictor of SR behaviors in youth, above and beyond family processes. Findings also highlight the value of examining psychosocial and psychological risk factors for SR in a comprehensive model to investigate the collective impact of these variables on youth SR. Implications of these findings for clinical practice and future research are discussed.

description: Let G be a group acting geometrically on a CAT(0) cube complex X. We prove first that G is hyperbolic relative to the collection P of subgroups if and only if the simplicial boundary of X is the disjoint union of a nonempty discrete set, together with a pairwise-disjoint collection of subcomplexes corresponding, in the appropriate sense, to elements of P. As a special case of this result is a new proof, in the cubical case, of a Theorem of Hruska--Kleiner regarding Tits boundaries of relatively hyperbolic CAT(0) spaces. Second, we relate the existence of cut-points in asymptotic cones of a cube complex X to boundedness of the 1-skeleton of the boundary of X. We deduce characterizations of thickness and strong algebraic thickness of a group G acting properly and cocompactly on the CAT(0) cube complex X in terms of the structure of, and nature of the G-action on, the boundary of X. Finally, we construct, for each n,k, infinitely many quasi-isometry types of group G such that G is strongly algebraically thick of order n, has polynomial divergence of order n+1, and acts properly and cocompactly on a k-dimensional CAT(0) cube complex.

description: Understanding the spectral and photometric variability of the Earth and the rest of the solar system planets has become of the utmost importance for the future characterization of rocky exoplanets. As this is not only interesting at present times but also along the planetary evolution, we studied the effect that the evolution of microbial mats and plants over land has had on the way our planet looks from afar. As life evolved, continental surfaces changed gradually and non- uniformly from deserts through microbial mats to land plants, modifying the reflective properties of the ground and most probably the distribution of moisture and cloudiness. Here, we used a radiative transfer model of the Earth, together with geological paleo-records of the continental distribution and a reconstructed cloud distribution, to simulate the visible and near-IR radiation reflected by our planet as a function of Earth's rotation. We found that the evolution from deserts to microbial mats and to land plants produces detectable changes in the globally-averaged Earth's reflectance. The variability of each surface type is located in different bands and can induce reflectance changes of up to 40% in period of hours. We conclude that using photometric observations of an Earth- like planet at different photometric bands, it would be possible to discriminate between different surface types. While recent literature proposes the red edge feature of vegetation near 0.7 μm as a signature for land plants, observations in near-IR bands can be equally or even better suited for this purpose.

A compact and novel crystal source was designed and fabricated, generating directly path entangled photons without the use of additional beam-splitters. This crystal supports two PDC processes, emitting biphotons into two beamlike modes simultaneously. Two coherent path entangled amplitudes of biphotons were created and their interference observed. Our method enables the generation of entangled photons with controlled spatial, spectral and polarization properties.

description: This article aims to assess the suitability of natural neem gum in various composite material applications in place of epoxy resin. The assessment was done by thermal characterisation, experimental study and comparative analysis of thermal behaviour, Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR) characterisation and comparison of functional groups and mechanical properties of neat epoxy and neat neem resins. To study and compare thermal behaviour differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric (TG) and relative derivative TG (DTG) analysis were conducted. The glass transition temperatures, exothermic and endothermic peaks, curing of thermosetting epoxy and crystallisation of polymeric neem, value of % cure and mass change or mass loss concerning temperature of both the resins were experimentally determined and comparative analysis was conducted to find the suitability of neem resin in composite material applications in place of epoxy resin. Functional groups of neem gum were identified and mechanical properties such as bond strength, toughness, rigidity and ductility were characterised and compared with that of epoxy resin by conducting FTIR.

description: We report a study on the thermal conductivity (κ) of Tb_2Ti_2O_7 single crystals at low temperatures. It is found that in zero field this material has an extremely low phonon thermal conductivity in a broad temperature range. The mean free path of phonons is even smaller than that of amorphous materials and is 3--4 orders of magnitude smaller than the sample size at 0.3 K. The strong spin fluctuation of the spin-liquid state is discussed to be the reason of the strong phonon scattering. The magnetic-field dependence of κand comparison with Y_2Ti_2O_7 and TbYTi_2O_7 confirm the magnetic origin of this phonon-glass-like behavior.

The historical narrative is driven by broad demographic shifts across LA County, alongside municipal and community politics that shape the material and cultural demands behind neighborhood change. Through this narrative, I challenge the traditional framings of resident versus business interests in Chinatowns, and instead highlight the complicated and often competing visions of progress throughout the community. I argue that “the youths” and “the elders” serve as key figures in this history: first, as dynamic actors and activists directly engaged in the process of development, and second, as subjects of discourse that actors mobilize towards different goals of development. Finally, I illuminate tensions between organizing as a representative of a community and organizing in solidarity towards the tangible needs of a community.

description: Treebolic space is an analog of the Sol geometry, namely, it is the horocylic product of the hyperbolic upper half plane H and the homogeneous tree T with degree p+1 > 2, the latter seen as a one-complex. Let h be the Busemann function of T with respect to a fixed boundary point. Then for real q > 1 and integer p > 1, treebolic space HT(q,p) consists of all pairs (z=x+i y,w) in H x T with h(w) = log_{q} y. It can also be obtained by glueing together horziontal strips of H in a tree-like fashion. We explain the geometry and metric of HT and exhibit a locally compact group of isometries (a horocyclic product of affine groups) that acts with compact quotient. When q=p, that group contains the amenable Baumslag-Solitar group BS(p)$ as a co-compact lattice, while when q and p are distinct, it is amenable, but non-unimodular. HT(q,p) is a key example of a strip complex in the sense of our previous paper in Advances in Mathematics 226 (2011) 992-1055. Relying on the analysis of strip complexes developed in that paper, we consider a family of natural Laplacians with "vertical drift" and describe the associated Brownian motion. The main difficulties come from the singularites which treebolic space (as any strip complex) has along its bifurcation lines. In this first part, we obtain the rate of escape and a central limit theorem, and describe how Brownian motion converges to the natural geometric boundary at infinity. Forthcoming work will be dedicated to positive harmonic functions.

description: Current precision in radial velocity (RV) measurements of binary stars reaches $\sim$2 ms$^{-1}$. This level of precision means that RV models have to take into account additional non-Keplerian effects such as tidal and rotational distortion of the components of a binary star, relativistic effects and orbital precession. We generate synthetic binaries using Yonsei-Yale stellar models. For typical representatives we investigate the impact of various orbital orientations and different non-Keplerian effects on the RV curves. To this end we simulate RV observations with an added white noise of different scale. Subsequently we try to reconstruct the input orbital parameters and their errors by fitting a model using a standard least-squares method. In particular we investigate the connection between the tidal distortion of the shape of the stars and the best-fit orbital eccentricity, the possibility of deriving orbital inclination of a non-eclipsing binary star by exploiting relativistic effects and the circumstances in which the orbital precession can be detected. We confirm that the method proposed by to obtain orbital inclination with use of the relativistic effect does work in favourable cases and that it can be used even for orbital configurations far from an edge-on orientation. We show that the RV variations imposed by tidally distorted stars can mimic non-zero eccentricity in some binaries. The scale of such an effect depends on the RV accuracy. Finally, we demonstrate that the apsidal precession can be easily detected with precision RVs. In particular we can detect orbital precession of $10^{-4}$ rad yr$^{-1}$, $10^{-3}$ rad yr$^{-1}$ for precision of RVs of 1 ms$^{-1}$ and 10 ms$^{-1}$ respectively.

Whatever happened to the Scene Encoding Hypothesis?

description: We argue that there has been a shift of focus from the Scene Encoding Hypothesis (SEH) to the Usage-Based Model (UBM) within the research on CxG and that this shift was (and continues to be) characterized by the negligence of the SEH tradition. It is discussed what is the relationship between the respective explanatory scopes of the SEH and the UBM within the larger context of cognitive constructionist linguistics. A practical though not programmatic one-sided focus on the UBM produces theoretical problems leading to “flat” explanations. The UBM crowd in cognitive-functional linguistics has increasingly become aware of that problem which has led to the parallel increase in the prominence of the notion of “salience” within the UBM. We will argue that this notion, as it is applied in current research, is a potential bridge between the SEH and the UBM, since it may potentially (re-)introduce the neglected phenomenal qualities into the modeling of language competence and structure. However, in its current state within the theory of the UBM, the notion of “salience” falls short of the involved cognitive and practical intricacies and thus needs a careful theoretical and empirical re-evaluation. We will attempt to indicate a potential direction of this re-evaluation by introducing the concepts of ‘salience and pertinence under a pragmatic motive’. In the course of our considerations, we will show that not only the UBM needs complementation by the SEH, for which salience and pertinence may be the bridge, but also that the SEH, despite its principal correctness, is itself fundamentally underspecified with respect to its qualifications. The potential bridge between the UBM and the SEH via salience and pertinence will also provide the qualifications the SEH was lacking so far.

description: A fiber laser is stabilized using a Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) whispering-gallery-mode resonator. It is set up using a semiconductor optical amplifier as a gain medium. The resonator is critically coupled through prisms, and used as a filtering element to suppress the laser linewidth. Using the self-heterodyne beat technique the linewidth is determined to be 13 kHz. This implies an enhancement factor of 10^3 with respect to the passive cavity linewidth. The three-cornered hat method shows a stability of 10^(-11) after 10 μs.

Understanding factors that influence the daily living skills of adults with autism

description: Existing literature has demonstrated that the adaptive functioning of autistic individuals is lower than what is expected of their age and cognitive abilities. Studies of children and adolescents suggest that autistic individuals may show a relative strength in the adaptive domain of daily living skills (DLS). DLS skills refer to a broad range of activities that are necessary in helping one maintain their day-to-day personal lives and wellbeing. To date, few studies have examined these skills in autistic adults. This dissertation aimed to understand individual characteristics (i.e., intellectual function, executive function and mental health) and contextual factors (i.e., provision of opportunities, requirement of reminders) that influence autistic individuals’ performance of DLS. Participants included 33 autistic individuals ranging in age from 16 to 35 years. Results demonstrated associations between the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 3rd edition – Comprehensive Interview Form (VABS-3) DLS scores and intellectual and executive functioning, but not age and mental health. Qualitative analysis of parental responses indicated that not having an opportunity to learn and/or practice the assessed tasks was the most frequent reason for not performing DLS, particularly for adults with average or higher IQ. VABS-3 DLS scores tended to be lower than caregiver reported DLS scores on the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System, 3rd edition – Adult Form (ABAS-3), another measure of adaptive skills. While there were significant discrepancies between IQ and DLS measured by both VABS-3 and ABAS-3, the pattern varied by instruments, with the mean VABS-3 DLS standard score being approximately one standard deviation (SD) lower than the mean ABAS-3 DLS score. Even when accounting for the differences in floors between measures, the VABS-3 DLS remained lower than ABAS-3 DLS. These findings highlight a need for multi-dimensional assessment to characterize each individual’s patterns of strengths and difficulties, especially to understand contextual factors affecting daily living performance, to more readily inform the development of individualized intervention plans.

description: Dense matter as it can be found in core-collapse supernovae and neutron stars is expected to exhibit different phase transitions which impact the matter composition and equation of state, with important consequences on the dynamics of core-collapse supernova explosion and on the structure of neutron stars. In this paper we will address the specific phenomenology of two of such transitions, namely the crust-core solid-liquid transition at sub-saturation density, and the possible strange transition at super-saturation density in the presence of hyperonic degrees of freedom. Concerning the neutron star crust-core phase transition at zero and finite temperature, it will be shown that, as a consequence of the presence of long-range Coulomb interactions, the equivalence of statistical ensembles is violated and a clusterized phase is expected which is not accessible in the grand-canonical ensemble. A specific quasi-particle model will be introduced to illustrate this anomalous thermodynamics and some quantitative results relevant for the supernova dynamics will be shown. The opening of hyperonic degrees of freedom at higher densities corresponding to the neutron stars core modifies the equation of state. The general characteristics and order of phase transitions in this regime will be analyzed in the framework of a self-consistent mean-field approach.
