description: To assess the potential habitability of Jupiter's moon Europa, it is important to understand its chemical composition (Hand et al., 2007). Young terrain features on Europa's surface likely consist of material up-welled from the liquid water source below (Wilson et al., 1997; Pappalardo et al., 1998; McCord et al., 1999; Figueredo and Greeley, 2004; Mével and Mercier, 2007), encoding relevant compositional information. A major science objective of NASA's Europa Clipper mission is to characterize the composition of young terrain features using data acquired on close flybys. The Surface Dust Analyzer (SUDA) is an in situ instrument that collects and analyzes the composition of individual grains (Kempf et al., 2012), which are ejected from Europa's surface by a continuous bombardment of interplanetary impactors (Krüger et al., 1999, 2003; Goode et al., 2021). By applying a dynamical model of these particles, we compute the probability of SUDA's detections originating from a given feature along the flyby trajectory based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectra that characterize the chemical composition of individual grains, results in a time series of various compositional types along the flyby. We present here a method to analyze a time series of compositional spectra recorded by SUDA that provides a robust estimate for the abundance of compositional types on the surface, spatially resolved for features along the ground track of the flyby. By demonstrating the association of compositional detections with geological sites of origin, data collected by SUDA can be used to infer the compositional ground truth for terrain features on Europa.

description: Il testo smaschera la morale come un dispositivo ideologico di controllo, presentato falsamente come fondamento del progresso civile. Questa analisi critica mostra come la morale non sia una costruzione neutrale, bensì un sistema repressivo che legittima la disuguaglianza e alimenta il marciume sociale sotto la maschera della virtù e del “bene comune”. Distinguendo tra etica, aperta e critica, e moralità, dogmatica e statica, il testo mette in luce il concetto di etica inquinata: un’etica corrotta dai poteri dominanti, che piega concetti come giustizia e bene a strumenti di oppressione.  

La figura del “demente morale” incarna questa degenerazione, un individuo alienato e custode involontario del sistema che lo imprigiona. Per rompere queste catene, è necessario “mostrare il mostro”: esporre la crudeltà e il sadismo che alimentano la morale, demolendo le illusioni di purezza e ordine. Solo attraverso questa presa di coscienza si può immaginare un’alternativa etica autentica, capace di dissolvere l’ombra della cultura e accendere il fuoco della verità.

description: Security risk assessment is an important task in systems engineering. It is used to derive security requirements for a secure system design and to evaluate design alternatives as well as vulnerabilities. Security risk assessment is also a complex and interdisciplinary task, where experts from the application domain and the security domain have to collaborate and understand each other. Automated and tool-supported approaches are desired to help manage the complexity. However, the models used for system engineering usually focus on functional behavior and lack security-related aspects. Therefore, we present our modeling approach that alleviates communication between the involved experts and features steps of computer-aided modeling to achieve consistency and avoid omission errors. We demonstrate our approach with an example. We also describe how to model impact rating and attack feasibility estimation in a modular fashion, along with the propagation and aggregation of these estimations through the model. As a result, experts can make local decisions or changes in the model, which in turn provides the impact of these decisions or changes on the overall risk profile. Finally, we discuss the advantages of our model-based method.

description: A new class of (not necessarily bounded) operators related to (mainly infinite) directed trees is introduced and investigated. Operators in question are to be considered as a generalization of classical weighted shifts, on the one hand, and of weighted adjacency operators, on the other; they are called weighted shifts on directed trees. The basic properties of such operators, including closedness, adjoints, polar decomposition and moduli are studied. Circularity and the Fredholmness of weighted shifts on directed trees are discussed. The relationships between domains of a weighted shift on a directed tree and its adjoint are described. Hyponormality, cohyponormality, subnormality and complete hyperexpansivity of such operators are entirely characterized in terms of their weights. Related questions that arose during the study of the topic are solved as well. Particular trees with one branching vertex are intensively studied mostly in the context of subnormality and complete hyperexpansivity of weighted shifts on them. A strict connection of the latter with $k$-step backward extendibility of subnormal as well as completely hyperexpansive unilateral classical weighted shifts is established. Models of subnormal and completely hyperexpansive weighted shifts on these particular trees are constructed. Various illustrative examples of weighted shifts on directed trees with the prescribed properties are furnished. Many of them are simpler than those previously found on occasion of investigating analogical properties of other classes of operators.

The use of ritual in the theatre of the absurd; a study of Beckett, Pinter, Genet
Creators: name: Mayhew, Anne L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: It is commonly felt among literary and theatre-going people today that the Theatre of the Absurd is making a comment on the meaninglessness and formlessness of contemporary life. The way the Theatre makes its comment is new and exciting: it simply places before our eyes meaninglessness and formlessness. And the Absurd is left at that. Directors can concentrate on the bizarre, making the plays, even The Caretaker, into three-hour runs of pointless juxtapositions that leave sophisticated audiences complacent. Too often the plays of Beckett, Pinter and Ionesco are treated as slices of life, without beginning or end. This paper was undertaken in an effort to discover whether there was not more to the Absurd play than imitation of life's daily chaos. Strong ritualistic elements had been noticed during a first random reading of some Absurd plays. A later discovery of Genet and his open experimentation with rituals, led me to suspect that the ritual so obvious in his plays also played a part, though a more furtive one, in the works of Pinter and Beckett. The following close examination of texture and structure has convinced me that the formal element, which distinguishes ritual, makes up the fabric of the Absurd play; and that this studied use of ritual makes the plays of the Absurd the most precise dramatic statements to have been seen on western stages since medieval days. Rather than exemplifying formlessness, the Absurd play often stands witness to the stark purity of formality. .

description: We report on the detailed analysis of the high-energy extended emission from the short Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 081024B, detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Historically, this represents the first clear detection of temporal extended emission from a short GRB. The light curve observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor lasts approximately 0.8 seconds whereas the emission in the Fermi Large Area Telescope lasts for about 3 seconds. Evidence of longer lasting high-energy emission associated with long bursts has been already reported by previous experiments. Our observations, together with the earlier reported study of the bright short GRB 090510, indicate similarities in the high-energy emission of short and long GRBs and open the path to new interpretations.

description: Introduction: Asymmetrical alpha and frontal theta activity have been discussed as neurobiological markers for antidepressant treatment response. While most studies focus on resting-state EEG, there is evidence that task-related activity assessed at multiple time points might be superior in detecting subtle early differences. Methods: This was a naturalistic study design assessing participants in a psychiatric in- and outpatient hospital setting. We investigated stimulus-related EEG asymmetry (frontal and occipital alpha-1 and alpha-2) and power (frontal midline theta) assessed at baseline and 1 week after initiation of pharmacological depression treatment while presenting affective stimuli. We then compared week 4 responders and nonresponders to antidepressant treatment. Results: Follow-up analyses of a significant group x emotion x time interaction (p < 0.04) for alpha-1 asymmetry showed that responders differed significantly at baseline in their asymmetry scores in response to sad compared to happy faces with a change in this pattern 1 week later. Nonresponders did not show this pattern. No significant results were found for alpha-2, occipital alpha-1, and occipital alpha-2 asymmetry or frontal midline theta power. Discussion: Our study addresses the gap in comparisons of task-related EEG activity changes measured at two time points and supports the potential value of this approach in detecting early differences in responders versus nonresponders to pharmacological treatment. Important limitations include the small sample size and the noncontrolled study design.

description: Goals are cognitive representations of means-ends relations that reflect what a person wants to approach or avoid. Previous research has demonstrated that the relative salience of the means and ends (i.e., goal focus) differs across adulthood. Due to inconsistent findings in recent studies, this study systematically investigated the convergence of goal focus across different dimensions (i.e., goal content, complexity, type, i.e., hypothetical vs. personal goals, and method of assessment) and its relation to age. To this end, we conducted a multimethod online study (N = 773) across an age range from 14 to 87 years. The results provide little support for the convergence of goal focus across different assessment methods and systematic associations with age. We discuss the implications of these findings for goal research.

description: Many challenging tasks in sensor networks, including sensor calibration, ranking of nodes, monitoring, event region detection, collaborative filtering, collaborative signal processing, {\em etc.}, can be formulated as a problem of solving a linear system of equations. Several recent works propose different distributed algorithms for solving these problems, usually by using linear iterative numerical methods. In this work, we extend the settings of the above approaches, by adding another dimension to the problem. Specifically, we are interested in {\em self-stabilizing} algorithms, that continuously run and converge to a solution from any initial state. This aspect of the problem is highly important due to the dynamic nature of the network and the frequent changes in the measured environment. In this paper, we link together algorithms from two different domains. On the one hand, we use the rich linear algebra literature of linear iterative methods for solving systems of linear equations, which are naturally distributed with rapid convergence properties. On the other hand, we are interested in self-stabilizing algorithms, where the input to the computation is constantly changing, and we would like the algorithms to converge from any initial state. We propose a simple novel method called \syncAlg as a self-stabilizing variant of the linear iterative methods. We prove that under mild conditions the self-stabilizing algorithm converges to a desired result. We further extend these results to handle the asynchronous case. As a case study, we discuss the sensor calibration problem and provide simulation results to support the applicability of our approach.
Odd Hamiltonian Structure for Supersymmetric Sawada - Kotera Equation

description: We study the supersymmetric N=1 hierarchy connected with the Lax operator of the supersymmetric Sawada-Kotera equation. This operator produces the physical equations as well as the exotic equations with odd time. The odd Bi-Hamiltonian structure for the N=1 Supersymmetric Sawada - Kotera equation is defined. The product of the symplectic and implectic Hamiltonian operator gives us the recursion operator. In that way we prove the integrability of the supersymmetric Sawada - Kotera equation in the sense that it has the Bi-Hamiltonian structure. The so called "quadratic" Hamiltonian operator of even order generates the exotic equations while the "cubic" odd Hamiltonian operator generates the physical equations.

The relationship between substructure in 2D X-ray surface brightness images and weak lensing mass maps of galaxy clusters: A simulation study

description: In this paper, we undertake a study to determine what insight can be reliably gleaned from the comparison of the X-ray and the weak lensing mass maps of galaxy clusters. We do this by investigating the 2D substructure within three high-resolution cosmological simulations of galaxy clusters. Our main results focus on non-radiative gas dynamics, but we also consider the effects of radiative cooling at high redshift. For our analysis, we use a novel approach, based on unsharp-masking, to identify substructures in 2D surface mass density and X-ray surface brightness maps. At full resolution (~ 15 h^-1 kpc), this technique is capable of identifying almost all self-bound dark matter subhaloes with M>10^12 h^-1 M_sun. We also report a correlation between the mass of a subhalo and the area of its corresponding 2D detection; such a correlation, once calibrated, could provide a useful estimator for substructure mass. Comparing our 2D mass and X-ray substructures, we find a surprising number of cases where the matching fails: around one third of galaxy-sized substructures have no X-ray counterpart. Some interesting cases are also found at larger masses, in particular the cores of merging clusters where the situation can be complex. Finally, we degrade our mass maps to what is currently achievable with weak-lensing observations (~100 h^-1 kpc at z=0.2). While the completeness mass limit increases by around an order of magnitude, a mass-area correlation remains. Our paper clearly demonstrates that the next generation of lensing surveys should start to reveal a wealth of information on cluster substructure. (Abridged)

Due to the good crystal property of silicon the measured dark current is only 15 pA. The linear and nonlinear characteristics are investigated in detail, in which we found that the photo-current is enhanced of more than 100,000 due to the ultrahigh-Q (>100,000). With the help of two-photon absorption, which is visible at a surprisingly low input power of 10 nW, the quantum efficiency of this device reaches about 10%.

description: We show using simulations that when interstitial vortices are present in superconductors with periodic pinning arrays, the transport in two perpendicular directions can be anisotropic. The degree of the anisotropy varies as a function of field due to the fact that the interstitial vortex lattice has distinct orderings at different matching fields. The anisotropy is most pronounced at the matching fields but persists at incommensurate fields, and it is most prominent for triangular, honeycomb, and kagome pinning arrays. Square pinning arrays can also show anisotropic transport at certain fields in spite of the fact that the perpendicular directions of the square pinning array are identical. We show that the anisotropy results from distinct vortex dynamical states and that although the critical depinning force may be lower in one direction, the vortex velocity above depinning may also be lower in the same direction for ranges of external drives where both directions are depinned. For honeycomb and kagome pinning arrays, the anisotropy can show multiple reversals as a function of field. We argue that when the pinning sites can be multiply occupied such that no interstitial vortices are present, the anisotropy is strongly reduced or absent.

description: We present the results of a study of galaxy activity in two merging binary clusters (A168 and A1750) using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data supplemented with the data in the literature. We have investigated the merger histories of A168 and A1750 by combining the results from a two-body dynamical model and X-ray data. In A168 two subclusters appear to have passed each other and to be coming together from the recent maximum separation. In A1750, two major subclusters appear to have started interaction and to be coming together for the first time. We find an enhanced concentration of the galaxies showing star formation (SF) or active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity in the region between two subclusters in A168, which were possibly triggered by the cluster merger. In A1750, we do not find any galaxies with SF/AGN activity in the region between two subclusters, indicating that two major subclusters are in the early stage of merging.

description: Land management plans require the construction of stormwater ponds to mitigate the effects of urbanization on streams. Stormwater ponds temporarily retain polluted runoff from impervious surfaces, allowing contaminants to settle before the water recharges ground water. With intentions to maintain natural hydrology, temperature, and nutrient inputs, stormwater ponds also attract wildlife. Some stormwater ponds might better support or attract urban wildlife when their hydrology, size, and vegetation are considered. I surveyed the small, meso-, and large mammal community in Baltimore County, Maryland, USA to determine the use of stormwater ponds by mammals. My results suggest that stormwater ponds are being utilized extensively by mammals in urban landscapes and that small changes in management could improve the quality of these surrogate habitats.

description: Variational quantum machine learning is an extensively studied application of near-term quantum computers. The success of variational quantum learning models crucially depends on finding a suitable parametrization of the model that encodes an inductive bias relevant to the learning task. However, precious little is known about guiding principles for the construction of suitable parametrizations. In this work, we holistically explore when and how symmetries of the learning problem can be exploited to construct quantum learning models with outcomes invariant under the symmetry of the learning task. Building on tools from representation theory, we show how a standard gateset can be transformed into an equivariant gateset that respects the symmetries of the problem at hand through a process of gate symmetrization. We benchmark the proposed methods on two toy problems that feature a nontrivial symmetry and observe a substantial increase in generalization performance. As our tools can also be applied in a straightforward way to other variational problems with symmetric structure, we show how equivariant gatesets can be used in variational quantum eigensolvers.

description: Background: The increasing number of obese children and adolescence is a major problem in health-care systems. Currently, the gold standard for the treatment of these patients with obesity is a multicomponent lifestyle intervention. Unfortunately, this strategy is not leading to a substantial and long-lasting weight loss in the majority of patients. This is the reason why there is an urgent need to establish new treatment strategies for children and adolescents with obesity to reduce the risk for the development of any comorbidities like cardiovascular diseases or diabetes mellitus type 2. Summary: In this review, we outline available pharmacological therapeutic options for children and compare the available study data with the outcome of conservative treatment approaches. Key Messages: We discussed, in detail, how knowledge about underlying molecular mechanisms might support the identification of effective antiobesity drugs in the future and in which way this might modulate current treatment strategies to support children and adolescence with obesity to lose body weight.

description: We study the properties of the Google matrix of an Ulam network generated by intermittency maps. This network is created by the Ulam method which gives a matrix approximant for the Perron-Frobenius operator of dynamical map. The spectral properties of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of this matrix are analyzed. We show that the PageRank of the system is characterized by a power law decay with the exponent $β$ dependent on map parameters and the Google damping factor $α$. Under certain conditions the PageRank is completely delocalized so that the Google search in such a situation becomes inefficient.

description: The isothermal remanent magnetization is used to investigate dynamical magnetic properties of spatially three dimensional spin glasses with different spin dimensionality (Ising, XY, Heisenberg). The isothermal remanent magnetization is recorded vs. temperature after intermittent application of a weak magnetic field at a constant temperature $T_h$. We observe that in the case of the Heisenberg spin glasses, the equilibrated spin structure and the direction of the excess moment are recovered at $T_h$. The isothermal remanent magnetization thus reflects the directional character of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction present in Heisenberg systems.

Efficacy of various polymer:drug ratios of molecularly homogeneous implants in preventing herpes simplex virus type-2 infection in Vero cells
Creators: name: Fargis, Sarah E.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014

description: Genital herpes, which is typically caused by HSV-2, infects 15-25% of the population worldwide. Infection results in recurrent outbreaks of lesions in the genital area. There is no cure for herpes, but anti-herpetics have been developed to combat infection. These drugs have a low oral bioavailability, a short half-life, and poor patient compliance. To negate these issues, the TUHVL has developed an implant made with drug and the biodegradable polymer polycaprolactone (PCL). However, the ideal ratio of polymer:drug has not been established. This study aims to determine which ratio has the best release kinetics and antiviral activity. Implants were created with various polymer:drug ratios and an in vitro study was performed. Samples were collected and analyzed with HPLC to determine the release kinetics. The antiviral effectiveness was determined by monitoring cytopathic effect and plaque assays. Ultimately, we found that the 75:25 PCV implants were the most effective.

Geology of the Haggart Creek-Dublin Gulch Area, Mayo district, Yukon Territory.
Creators: name: Tempelman-Kluit, Dirk Jacob
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The map area is a four miles by ten miles strip that extends westward from the summit of Potato Hills. The centre of the map area lies about thirty miles north of Mayo, Y.T. Exposure is poor in many parts of the area, because of the thick Pleistocene cover. The rocks in the area are quartzites of the precambrian Yukon Group. Quartzite is generally micaceous and contains interbedded phyllite. Regional metamorphism (greenschist facies) has affected these rocks. An early bedding plane foliation has been modified by two distinct phases of folding. A granodiorite stock with related sills of similar composition has intruded the metamorphic assemblage and a five hundred feet wide thermal metamorphic aureole that contains corundum has been developed in the metasedimentary rocks around the stock. East trending and later north trending faults have disrupted the rocks. Mineralization in the area is of various types. Silver-lead-antimony veins occur in the west. A preliminary study of their mineralogy shows them to contain jamesonite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, tetrahedrite and boulangerite in a gangue of siderite and dolomite. Secondary minerals include bindheimite or stetefeldite, anglesite, goethite, scorodite, covellite and chalcosite. Two stages of Pleistocene ice advance have modified the topography.
Insect olfactory repellents: is there a gustatory contribution?
Creators: name: Sanford, Jillian Lee
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014

description: Insect repellents provide protection from biting insects including mosquitoes by affecting the olfactory system. As such, the majority of research carried out to understand the mechanisms behind insect repellency has focused on olfaction. Recent molecular evolutionary studies performed on olfactory receptors demonstrated that these proteins have evolved directly from gustatory receptors. The goal of my study is to determine if repellent compounds interact with the insect gustatory system. I carried out electrophysiological studies on the yellow-fever mosquito Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) to determine if insect repellents stimulate receptor cells housed within gustatory sense organs (sensilla) located on the mouthparts. Electrophysiological studies show the presence of at least three gustatory receptor neurons (GRNs), one of which is activated by repellent compounds. The information in this study reveals a mechanism by which insect repellents act on the gustatory system, potentially leading to the design of more effective insect repellents.

Bah, bah black sheep, have you any political pull?
Creators: name: DeWald, Michael
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014

description: This study examined the Black Sheep Effect and its underlying causes in the context of political groups. 128 participants read a mock news article describing politicians in both the Republican and Democratic parties who had failed to cast their votes in sessions of congress. Participants provided lower approval ratings for ingroup black sheep politicians than for outgroup politicians indicating that the Black Sheep Effect does occur within political groups. However, hypotheses regarding the causes of this effect in political groups were not supported by the results. Implications of the Black Sheep Effect on political issues such as congressional gridlock and voter behavior are discussed.
