Split China in America: Lobby, Exodus, and the Trans-Pacific China Politics, 1945-1951
Creators: name: Zhang, Bohan
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022

description: While the Chinese Civil War has mostly been explored by historians through the lens of military and diplomatic history, this thesis focuses on a trans-Pacific interaction between China and the US. In particular, it asks about what the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Kuomintang (KMT) did in America and how their different approaches influenced China politics. This thesis examines the KMT and the CCP’s lobby and interactions with both the Americans and overseas Chinese in the US and argues that the CCP not only won the Chinese Civil War against the KMT in China but also won the war of convincing and attracting the Chinese people in America. KMT’s lobby not only failed to achieve its aim but deteriorated its image in the US, and its political surveillance further alienated itself from the overseas Chinese. On the contrary, though the CCP has fewer previous links with America, its popularity was largely built on the comparison with the KMT. The lobbies and exoduses altogether created the complicated trans-Pacific China politics from 1945 to 1951.

description: Recent high-resolution X-ray spectroscopic studies have revealed unusual oxygen line ratios, such as the high O VII forbidden-to-resonance ratio, in several supernova remnants. While the physical origin is still under debate, for most of them, it has been suggested that this phenomenon arises from either charge exchange (CX) or resonant scattering (RS). In this work, we report the high O VII G-ratio ($\gtrsim1$) and high O VIII Ly$β$/Ly$α$ ratio ($\gtrsim0.2$) found in multiepoch XMM-Newton RGS observations of SN 1987A. The line ratios cannot be fully explained by non-equilibrium ionization effects, CX, or RS. We suggest the absorption of foreground hot gas as the most likely origin, which plays the major role in modifying line fluxes and line ratios. Based on this scenario, we introduced two Gaussian absorption components at the O VII resonance line and the O VIII Ly$α$ line and constrained the optical depth of the two lines as $τ_{\rm OVII}\sim0.6$ and $τ_{\rm OVIII}\sim0.2$. We estimated the temperature as $kT_{\rm e}\sim0.15$ keV and the oxygen column density as $N_{\rm O}\sim0.5\times10^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$ for the absorbing gas, which is consistent with the hot interstellar medium in the Galactic halo. Neglecting this absorption component may lead to an underestimation of the O abundance. We revised the O abundance of SN 1987A, which is increased by $\sim20\%$ compared with previous results. The N/O ratio by number of atoms is revised to be $\sim1.2$.

description:  The present invention involves a novel tripyrrole dimethine-derived "expanded porphyrin" (texaphyrin), the synthesis of such compounds, their analogs or derivatives and their uses. These expanded porphyrin-like macrocycles are efficient chelators of divalent and trivalent metal ions. Metal complexes of these compounds are active as photosensitizers for the generation of singlet oxygen and thus potentially for inactivation or destruction of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), mononuclear or other cells infected with such virus and tumor cells as well. A variety of texaphyrin derivatives have been produced and many more are readily obtainable. Various metal (e.g., transition, main group, and lanthanide) complexes with the texaphyrin and texaphyrin derivatives of the present invention have unusual water solubility and stability which render them particularly useful. These metallotexaphyrin complexes have optical properties making them unique as compared to existing porphyrin-like or other macrocycles. For example, they absorb light strongly in a physilogically important region (i.e. 690-880 nm). These complexes also form long-lived triplet states in high yield and act as efficient photosensitizers for the formation of singlet oxygen. These properties, coupled with their high chemical stability and appreciable solubility in polar media such as water, add to their usefulness.

description: A method and apparatus for selectively depositing a layer of material from a gas phase to produce a part comprising a plurality of deposited layers. The apparatus includes a computer controlling a directed energy beam, such as a laser, to direct the laser energy into a chamber substantially containing the gas phase to preferably produce photodecomposition or thermal decomposition of the gas phase and selectively deposit material within the boundaries of the desired cross-sectional regions of the part. For each cross section, the aim of the laser beam is scanned over a target area and the beam is switched on to deposit material within the boundaries of the cross-section. Each subsequent layer is joined to the immediately preceding layer to produce a part comprising a plurality of joined layers. In an alternate embodiment of the present invention, a gas phase is condensed on a surface and a laser beam is used to selectively evaporate, transform, activate or decompose material in each layer. A catalytic environment can be created proximate or upon the target area to ensure that initial nucleation and renucleation layers are receptive to substantially rapid and uniform growth of gas phase material at the target location. The catalyst can be placed on the initial substrate layer and/or upon successive layers as the layers are being deposited on the outer surface of the evolving part.

description: The TOV equations govern the radial evolution of pressure and energy density in static neutron stars (NSs) in hydrodynamical equilibrium. Using the reduced pressure and energy density with respect to the NS central energy density, the original TOV equations can be recast into dimensionless forms. While the traditionally used integral approach for solving the original TOV equations require an input nuclear Equation of State (EOS), the dimensionless TOV equations can be anatomized by using the reduced pressure and energy density as polynomials of the reduced radial coordinate without using any input nuclear EOS. Interesting and novel perspectives about NS core EOS can be extracted directly from NS observables using this new approach based on Intrinsic and Perturbative Analyses of the Dimensionless (IPAD) TOV equations (IPAD-TOV). In this review, we first discuss the length and energy density scales of NSs as well as the dimensionless TOV equations for scaled variables and their perturbative solutions near NS cores. We then review several new insights into NS physics gained from using the IPAD-TOV. We also demonstrate that the strong-field gravity plays a fundamental role in extruding a peak in the density/radius profile of the speed of sound squared (SSS) in massive NS cores independent of the nuclear EOS. Finally, some future perspectives of NS research using the IPAD-TOV are outlined.

title: Layout-aware sizing methodology for analog integrated circuits
Creators: name: Liao, Tuotian
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: The traditional iterative design flows for analog integrated circuit synthesis, which can help meet circuit performance requirements in the conventional technology processes, often experience longer runtime. The nonnegligible impact of layout parasitics and layout dependent effects (LDEs) on electrical performance has posed increasingly greater challenges to determining circuit parameters (i.e., circuit sizing), which makes it harder for designers to close the synthesis loop especially in the advanced nanometer technologies. This dissertation is focused on parasitic-aware and LDE-aware circuit sizing solutions in the early schematic design stage of the circuit synthesis process. A number of techniques, which include analytical modeling for devices and circuits, mathematical programming, sensitivity analysis, curve fitting, and heuristic optimization as well as machine learning, are utilized to construct the proposed circuit sizing methodologies. In this regard, we combine geometric programming and differential evolution as well as a many-objective evolutionary algorithm to construct a novel two-phase hybrid sizing methodology for dealing with parasitics. In addition, we propose to use gm/ID-based mixed-integer nonlinear programming to improve the accuracy of the first-phase sizing, and adapt it to address the layout-dependent effects with the aid of sensitivity analysis. Furthermore, we develop a machine-learning based approach called Bayesian optimization featuring high-dimensionality and many objectives to tackle parasitics and LDEs for analog circuit sizing. The ultimate objective of this research is to develop efficient methodologies and algorithms to include the consideration of parasitics and LDEs from layout design into schematic design stage as an early action to reduce the analog IC design iterations. The experimental results show the efficacy of our proposed sizing methodologies over other similar works for the layout-aware analog circuit sizing.

DARPA Subterranean Challenge

description: This article presents the CERBERUS robotic system-of-systems, which won the DARPA Subterranean Challenge Final Event in 2021. The Subterranean Challenge was organized by DARPA with the vision to facilitate the novel technologies necessary to reliably explore diverse underground environments despite the grueling challenges they present for robotic autonomy. Due to their geometric complexity, degraded perceptual conditions combined with lack of GPS support, austere navigation conditions, and denied communications, subterranean settings render autonomous operations particularly demanding. In response to this challenge, we developed the CERBERUS system which exploits the synergy of legged and flying robots, coupled with robust control especially for overcoming perilous terrain, multi-modal and multi-robot perception for localization and mapping in conditions of sensor degradation, and resilient autonomy through unified exploration path planning and local motion planning that reflects robot-specific limitations. Based on its ability to explore diverse underground environments and its high-level command and control by a single human supervisor, CERBERUS demonstrated efficient exploration, reliable detection of objects of interest, and accurate mapping. In this article, we report results from both the preliminary runs and the final Prize Round of the DARPA Subterranean Challenge, and discuss highlights and challenges faced, alongside lessons learned for the benefit of the community.

description: An electromagnetic railgun having a layer of low conductivity material along the rails to interface with the armature as the armature is propelled along the rails. The low conductivity material has been found to permit rapid current penetration between the layer and armature, thereby inhibiting undersirable high current density formation along the trailing edge of the armature. Advantageously, inhibiting the high current density formation permits use of a solid armature at velocities exceeding on kilometer per second. Preferably, the layer is composed of graphite or a graphite/copper mixture. A layer of copper or other high conductivity material is preferably laminated to the low conductivity graphite layer to reduce the overall railgun circuit resistance. In the preferred embodiment, the layer of low conductivity material increases in thickness from the breech to the muzzle to decrease railgun circuit resistance.

description: Adolescence represents an important, transitional period for social and emotional development, which contributes to conceptualisations of the self-story or narrative identity. Storytelling is a mechanism that contributes to identity formation, and is intrinsically connected to social and emotional learning due to its relational context. Social and emotional learning programs are well-documented in the literatures regarding their effectiveness. However, finidngs that are specific to empathy outcomes from interventions that center storytelling are not well established. This review aims to contribute to the research by providing a scoping review of key findings for empathic outcomes of storytelling interventions for adolescents. This scoping review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) framework for scoping reviews, and the research stages as defined by Arkey and O’Malley, and Levac and colleagues. A formal search strategy will run across seven databases, including: ASSIA, Eric (EBSCO), ERIC (ProQuest), PsycINFO, PsycArticles, and Scopus. This search will be supplemented with handsearching in Google Scholar, and grey literature will be identified using ProQuest Dissertations & Theses. Studies (published in English) from 1997 onwards will be included based on the following criteria: 1) An adolescent population (10-24 years old), 2) Storytelling interventions or narrative exchanges are the intervention of study, 3) Empathy is the key outcome. Studies will be excluded if they are published before 1997, written in languages other than English, focus on other interventions, populations, and outcomes other than empathy. The selection process will be presented in a narrative format and a PRISMA flow diagram. Results will be reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis (PRISMA-ScR). Ultimately, the validity and effectiveness of storytelling interventions for promoting empathy will be synthesised.

description: A neutrino-like event with an energy of $\sim 220 \,{\rm PeV}$ was recently detected by the KM3NeT/ARCA telescope. If this neutrino comes from an astrophysical source, or from the interaction of an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray in the intergalactic medium, the ultra-high-energy gamma rays that are co-produced with the neutrinos will scatter with the extragalactic background light, producing an electromagnetic cascade and resulting in emission at GeV-to-TeV energies. In this paper, we compute the gamma-ray flux from this neutrino source considering various source distances and strengths of the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF). We find that the associated gamma-ray emission could be observed by existing imaging air cherenkov telescopes and air shower gamma-ray observatories, unless the strength of the IGMF is $B\gtrsim 3\times 10^{-13}$ G, or the ultra-high-energy gamma-rays are attenuated inside of the source itself. In the latter case, this source is expected to be radio-loud.

description: In this paper, we investigate the influence of the spacetime curvature on the Yukawa potential, focusing on boson-boson interactions derived from the {Φ^3} theory. Using the Bunch-Parker propagator expansion within Born's first approximation, we derive a Yukawa-like potential in a curved spacetime. We analyze the impact of the curvature on the propagator in momentum space, revealing modifications to the potential and showing that the corrections are determined by geometric quantities from Einstein's equations, like the Ricci scalar and tensor. We illustrate this using the Reissner-Nordström metric, highlighting the corrections' magnitude for specific parameters. Our results underscore the nuanced interplay between spacetime curvature and quantum interactions, providing insights into nucleon-nucleon systems in curved spacetimes or near strong gravitational fields.

Transparency is the New Green
Creators: Cattermole, Amanda
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2016

Transparency is defined as the ability to have free and easy access to critical information. Traceability, which goes hand in hand with transparency, is the ability to track something as it moves along the supply chain. Brands need more transparent supply chains for several reasons. Transparency is not only necessary to substantiate environmental claims; it is also essential to protect companies’ reputations and, in many cases, comply with the law. Many factors are driving the trend towards transparency in products and supply chains. Consumers want to know more about the products they buy. They want to know where products are manufactured, the working conditions in which those products are made, and if their products are safe.

Labor, including the use of child, forced, and slave labor, environmental disasters, and the safety of products has driven consumers to ask probing questions and demand answers. Brands and companies are implementing policies, processes, and procedures to understand and improve the transparency of their supply chains. But what has changed?
Knowledge and practices on HIV post exposure prophylaxis (HIV PEP) among medical and dental doctors in the Teaching Hospital, Anuradhapura; a cross sectional study

description: Introduction: Healthcare workers are avoiding potential exposures to infectious material by using standard precautions. However, accidental exposures to blood borne pathogens happen in various procedures. Therefore, the knowledge and correct practice following potential exposures to HIV need to be well informed.

Objectives: To describe the knowledge and practices of HIV PEP among medical and dental doctors in the Teaching Hospital, Anuradhapura.
Methods: Well structured self-administered questionnaire was used for the data collection. Out of the 180 questionnaires distributed, 88 medical doctors and 18 dental doctors (n=106, 59%) responded.

Results: Risk of occupational exposure to HIV was not a concern in 11% of doctors. However, over half of them (57%) had occupational exposure to blood or body fluids in the previous 12 months. Probability of HIV transmission by percutaneous injuries was known by only 30% (n=32). Immediate management of exposure site was known by 74% (n=78). Majority was aware of HIV PEP (72%, n=76) and 72.4% of them (n=55) rated their knowledge as poor. 84% (n=64) believed that PEP was effective. However, Only 30% (n=18) had sought HIV PEP services. Furthermore, knowledge on timing of PEP (84.2%, n=64), PEP indications (56.6%, n=43), duration of PEP (28.9%, n=22) and current PEP regimen (0.08%, n=6) was inadequate.

Conclusion: This study showed that 11% of doctors were not concerned about HIV risk and they themselves reported that the HIV PEP knowledge was poor. Furthermore, over a quarter of doctors was unaware about the HIV PEP. Therefore, the knowledge on HIV PEP needs to be improved.

description: Semiconvection occurs in regions of stars and planets that are unstable to overturning convection according to the Schwarzschild criterion, yet stable according to the Ledoux criterion. Previous simulations in Cartesian boxes have advanced our understanding of the semiconvective instability, layer formation, and transport properties. However, much less is known about semiconvection in spherical geometry and under the influence of rotation or magnetic fields. We present 3D simulations of semiconvection in the full sphere (including $r=0$), and accounting for rotation. We find that the formation and evolution of semiconvective layers in nonrotating spheres occurs in a similar way to nonrotating Cartesian boxes, in the sense that the critical density ratio at which layers are expected to form is approximately the same in both geometries. Layers rapidly merge once they form, ultimately leading to a fully mixed convective sphere. The transport properties measured through the Nusselt numbers and the buoyancy flux ratio are also similar to results from previous studies in boxes. When rotation is added to the system, layer formation and evolution proceeds in a similar fashion to the nonrotating runs. However, rotation hampers the radial transport of heat and composition, and, as a result, the time required for the sphere to become fully mixed gets longer as the flow becomes more rotationally constrained. We also find that semiconvective layers exhibit spherical mixing in nonrotating cases, whereas in rotating cases, the mixing becomes more cylindrical. We discuss what is needed for future work to build more realistic models.

description: Charged colloids can form ordered structures like Wigner crystals or glasses at very low concentrations due to long-range electrostatic repulsions. Here, we combine small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) and optical experiments with simulations to investigate the phase behavior of charged rodlike colloids across a wide range of salt concentrations and packing fractions. At ultra low ionic strength and packing fractions, we reveal both experimentally and numerically a direct transition from a nematic to a crystalline smectic-B phase, previously identified as a glass state. This transition, bypassing the smectic-A intermediate phase, results from minimizing Coulomb repulsion and maximizing entropic gains due to fluctuations in the crystalline structure. This demonstrates how long-range electrostatic repulsion significantly alters the phase behavior of rod-shaped particles and highlights its key-role in driving the self-organization of anisotropic particles.

description: This paper presents a performance comparison among four Convolutional Neural Network architectures (EfficientNet-B3, InceptionV3, ResNet50, and VGG16) for classifying cassava disease images. The images were sourced from an imbalanced dataset from a competition. Appropriate metrics were employed to address class imbalance. The results indicate that EfficientNet-B3 achieved on this task accuracy of 87.7%, precision of 87.8%, revocation of 87.8% and F1-Score of 87.7%. These findings suggest that EfficientNet-B3 could be a valuable tool to support Digital Agriculture.

The silkworm is a beneficial, eco-friendly insect reared commercially for the production of cocoons, and in turn, silk. Silk is a natural fiber and the fabric made out of it has a wide market throughout the world. Traditionally, household spinners and weavers produce a variety of beautifully colored fabrics for both domestic and ceremonial uses by blending different colors. With the advent of dyeing using synthetic dyes, a wide range of colors is available for commercial and artisan markets.

title: What smartness does in the smart city: From visions to policy

description: This article examines what smartness does on the ground by examining how its anticipatory media visions have been interpreted and acted on in policy decisions and local implementations since the early 2000s. Using a comparative-historical analysis that draws on fieldwork in aspiring smart cities in the United States and Europe, we argue that the visions of smartness are neither singular nor fixed across time and space. Instead, the role of smartness in diffusing new technologies is recruited and reshaped in the present to lend legitimacy to future public and private interventions. We first demonstrate that the narrative of crisis, often associated with smartness, shifted from a pre-2008 emphasis on sustainability and climate change to a post-financial crisis engagement with entrepreneurship and platformization. We then discuss how the development of smart city initiatives has followed divergent paths in the United States and Europe, with big tech companies dominating in the former and the ‘living lab’ model prevailing in the latter. Our analysis highlights the importance of investigating the complex relationships between anticipatory media visions of smartness and their varying, down-to-earth implementations in the built environment rather than solely focusing on the discursive appeal of techno-idealism. It also explains the enduring appeal of smartness as an urban vision, despite its various shortcomings, by revealing its adaptability to the changing social and political–economic shifts.

description: Real camera footage is subject to noise, motion blur (MB) and depth of field (DoF). In some applications these might be considered distortions to be removed, but in others it is important to model them because it would be ineffective, or interfere with an aesthetic choice, to simply remove them. In augmented reality applications where virtual content is composed into a live video feed, we can model noise, MB and DoF to make the virtual content visually consistent with the video. Existing methods for this typically suffer two main limitations. First, they require a camera calibration step to relate a known calibration target to the specific cameras response. Second, existing work require methods that can be (differentiably) tuned to the calibration, such as slow and specialized neural networks. We propose a method which estimates parameters for noise, MB and DoF instantly, which allows using off-the-shelf real-time simulation methods from e.g., a game engine in compositing augmented content. Our main idea is to unlock both features by showing how to use modern computer vision methods that can remove noise, MB and DoF from the video stream, essentially providing self-calibration. This allows to auto-tune any black-box real-time noise+MB+DoF method to deliver fast and high-fidelity augmentation consistency.

description: Reinforcement learning (RL) has increasingly been applied to solve real-world planning problems, with progress in handling large state spaces and time horizons. However, a key bottleneck in many domains is that RL methods cannot accommodate large, combinatorially structured action spaces. In such settings, even representing the set of feasible actions at a single step may require a complex discrete optimization formulation. We leverage recent advances in embedding trained neural networks into optimization problems to propose SEQUOIA, an RL algorithm that directly optimizes for long-term reward over the feasible action space. Our approach embeds a Q-network into a mixed-integer program to select a combinatorial action in each timestep. Here, we focus on planning over restless bandits, a class of planning problems which capture many real-world examples of sequential decision making. We introduce coRMAB, a broader class of restless bandits with combinatorial actions that cannot be decoupled across the arms of the restless bandit, requiring direct solving over the joint, exponentially large action space. We empirically validate SEQUOIA on four novel restless bandit problems with combinatorial constraints: multiple interventions, path constraints, bipartite matching, and capacity constraints. Our approach significantly outperforms existing methods -- which cannot address sequential planning and combinatorial selection simultaneously -- by an average of 24.8\% on these difficult instances.

description: Nucleation, the pivotal first step of crystallization, governs essential characteristics of crystallization products, including size distribution, morphology, and polymorphism. While understanding this process is paramount to the design of chemical, pharmaceutical and industrial production processes, major knowledge gaps remain, especially with respect to the crystallization of porous solids. Also for nanocrystalline ZIF-8, one of the most widely studied metal-organic frameworks, questions regarding the species involved in the nucleation pathway and their structural and chemical transformations remain unanswered. By combining harmonic light scattering, inherently sensitive to structural changes, with NMR spectroscopy, which reveals molecular exchanges between particles and solution, we were able to capture the crystallization mechanism of ZIF-8 in unprecedented detail. This dual approach provides concurrent structural and chemical insights, revealing key processes not previously observed in ZIF crystallization. Upon mixing small charged prenucleation clusters (PNCs) are formed, exhibiting an excess of ligands and net positive charge. We show that nucleation is initiated by aggregation of PNCs, through the release of ligands and associated protons to the liquid. This leads to the formation of charge neutral amorphous precursor particles (APPs) which incorporate neutral monomers from solution, and crystallize ZIF-8. Our work highlights chemical dynamics as a vital, yet often overlooked, dimension in the multi-stage structural evolution of MOFs. By establishing the critical role of PNCs in the nucleation of ZIF-8, new pathways open up for controlling crystallization of metal-organic frameworks through targeted chemical interactions with these species.
