description: This study measures the impact of authenticity - the operation of one's true self in one's daily activities - on student engagement and learning in one specific library context, information literacy instruction for English 105 classes at the House Undergraduate Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A classroom modeling exercise was developed to help students choose authentic topics of interest. Students then filled out a questionnaire to assess whether choosing authentic topics led to (a) increased engagement and (b) increased learning according to ACRL information literacy standards. The data collected shows that the exercise successfully helped students choose authentic topics and that these students' motivation to learn was higher than students in the control group. Students in the experimental group also on average rated their learning of ACRL information literacy standards higher than students in the control group. The study provides initial evidence for the positive impact authenticity can have on student motivation and learning in the context of information literacy instruction.

The quest for cradles of life: using the fundamental metallicity relation to hunt for the most habitable type of galaxy

description: The field of astrobiology has made huge strides in understanding the habitable zones around stars (Stellar Habitable Zones) where life can begin, sustain its existence and evolve into complex forms. A few studies have extended this idea by modelling galactic-scale habitable zones (Galactic Habitable Zones) for our Milky Way and specific elliptical galaxies. However, estimating the habitability for galaxies spanning a wide range of physical properties has so far remained an outstanding issue. Here, we present a "cosmobiological" framework that allows us to sift through the entire galaxy population in the local Universe and answer the question "Which type of galaxy is most likely to host complex life in the cosmos"? Interestingly, the three key astrophysical criteria governing habitability (total mass in stars, total metal mass and ongoing star formation rate) are found to be intricately linked through the "fundamental metallicity relation" as shown by SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) observations of more than a hundred thousand galaxies in the local Universe. Using this relation we show that metal-rich, shapeless giant elliptical galaxies at least twice as massive as the Milky Way (with a tenth of its star formation rate) can potentially host ten thousand times as many habitable (earth-like) planets, making them the most probable "cradles of life" in the Universe.

description: The Detroit Open Data Portal was created in 2015, aiming to transform the relationship between city residents and their government through the publication of the city’s data. Datasets are collected by individual city departments but are curated, cleaned, and ingested into the portal by a team at the city’s Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT). Many datasets are missing data dictionaries and structured metadata, making it difficult for many users to make use of the city’s open data. This project analyzes the types of metadata available in the Detroit Open Data Portal, compares metadata standards designed for government data, and creates a workflow for the DoIT team to fill-in missing fields in existing and future datasets. The project aims to make city data more accessible to users, increase the transparency of the city government, and foster further applications of open government data.

description: Precise Tooth Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) image segmentation is crucial for orthodontic treatment planning. In this paper, we propose FDNet, a Feature Decoupled Segmentation Network, to excel in the face of the variable dental conditions encountered in CBCT scans, such as complex artifacts and indistinct tooth boundaries. The Low-Frequency Wavelet Transform (LF-Wavelet) is employed to enrich the semantic content by emphasizing the global structural integrity of the teeth, while the SAM encoder is leveraged to refine the boundary delineation, thus improving the contrast between adjacent dental structures. By integrating these dual aspects, FDNet adeptly addresses the semantic gap, providing a detailed and accurate segmentation. The framework's effectiveness is validated through rigorous benchmarks, achieving the top Dice and IoU scores of 85.28% and 75.23%, respectively. This innovative decoupling of semantic and boundary features capitalizes on the unique strengths of each element to elevate the quality of segmentation performance.

description: The purpose of this study was to see how the portrayal of divorce has changed in children's chapter books from 1970 to 2004. Specifically, the question was "Has the portrayal of divorce changed from 1970 to 2004?" Forty books were used in the study, ten for each decade. In order to keep the findings consistent, ten books were used for 2000-2004. By using content analysis, themes were determined and counted in each book and then compared across and within decades. The themes were put in three categories: coping with the divorce, response to the divorce, and trends in divorce. Quotes from the books were provided in order to gain an understanding of the themes. Graphs counting and plotting the themes were also provided. Findings show that though there were differences across decades, many of the themes remained constant.

description: We define a new strategy to scan jet substructure in heavy-ion collisions. The scope is multifold: (i) test the dominance of vacuum jet dynamics at early times, (ii) capture the transition from coherent to incoherent jet energy loss, and (iii) study elastic scatterings in the medium, which are either hard and perturbative or soft and responsible for jet thermalisation. To achieve that, we analyse the angular distribution of the hardest splitting, $θ_{\rm hard}$, above a transverse momentum scale, $k_t^{\rm min}$, in high-$p_t$ jets. Sufficiently high values of $k_t^{\rm min}$ target the regime in which the observable is uniquely determined by vacuum-like splittings and energy loss, leaving the jet substructure unmodified compared to proton-proton collisions. Decreasing $k_t^{\rm min}$ enhances the sensitivity to the relation between energy loss and the intra-jet structure and, in particular, to observe signatures of colour decoherence at small angles. At wider angles it also becomes sensitive to hard elastic scatterings with the medium and, therefore, the perturbative regime of medium response. Choosing $k_t^{\rm min}\approx 0$ leads to order one effects of non-perturbative origin such as hadronisation and, potentially, soft scatterings responsible for jet thermalisation. We perform a comprehensive analysis of this observable with three state-of-the-art jet-quenching Monte Carlo event generators. Our study paves the way for defining jet observables in heavy-ion collisions dominated by perturbative QCD and thus calculable from first principles.

Extending the class of solutions of the Dirac equation using tridiagonal matrix representations

description: The aim of this work is to find exact solutions of the one-dimensional Dirac equation that do not belong to the already known conventional class. We write the spinor wavefunction as a bounded infinite sum in a complete basis set, which is chosen such that the matrix representation of the Dirac wave operator becomes tridiagonal and symmetric. This makes the wave equation equivalent to a symmetric three-term recursion relation for the expansion coefficients of the wavefunction. We solve the recursion relation and obtain the relativistic energy spectrum and corresponding state functions. Restriction to the diagonal representation results in the conventional class of solutions. As illustration, we consider the square well with half-sine potential bottom in the vector and scalar coupling under spin symmetry. We obtain the relativistic energy spectrum and show that the nonrelativistic limit agrees with results found elsewhere.

Characterization of 2-ramified power series

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we study lower ramification numbers of power series tangent to the identity that are defined over fields of positive characteristics $p$. Let $g$ be such a series, then $g$ has a fixed point at the origin and the corresponding lower ramification numbers of $g$ are then, up to a constant, the degree of the first non-linear term of $p$-power iterates of $g$. The result is a complete characterization of power series $g$ having ramification numbers of the form ${2(1+p+\dots+p^n)}$. Furthermore, in proving said characterization we explicitly compute the first significant terms of $g$ at its $p$th iterate.

description: This study investigated elementary teacher perceptions of school library programs in two different scheduling models: fixed and flexible access. Focus groups and interviews were conducted. The participants were divided in their view of the ideal role of the library program in the school: eight favored a flexible access program while seven preferred the fixed schedule. Findings indicated that preference was not based on the current scheduling in which the teachers are working. All five participants at the fixed access school advocated a change to a flexible program, while seven of the ten participants at the flexible program desired a return to a fixed schedule. The findings also showed that the majority of participants at the flexible access school did not fully understand the mechanics of the flexible program. These results indicate the need for increased librarian outreach and teacher education about the benefits of the flexible access program.

description: In this paper we investigate weighted norm inequalities for the commutator of a fractional integral operator and multiplication by a function. In particular, we show that, for $μ,λ\in A_{p,q}$ and $α/n+1/q=1/p$, the norm $\| [b,I_α]:L^p(μ^p)\to L^q(λ^q) \|$ is equivalent to the norm of $b$ in the weighted BMO space $BMO(ν)$, where $ν=μλ^{-1}$. This work extends some of the results on this topic existing in the literature, and continues a line of investigation which was initiated by Bloom in 1985 and was recently developed further by the first author, Lacey, and Wick.

description: In recent years, libraries have started to examine their fines policy more critically to see the effects on patrons, workflow, and staff, as well as to see how their policies can be changed, or in some cases, removed. This study looks at the overdue fines policy at the Undergraduate Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, specifically analyzing how experiences with the fines policy among undergraduate students affects their use of the library, as well as how the experiences of staff members with fines affects their workflow. The results of the study show that while many students feel that fines are an effective means of incentivizing book return, the financial burden does play a role in producing a negative impression of the libraries and can dissuade some patrons from using its services.

description: Flow control has a great potential to contribute to the sustainable society through mitigation of environmental burden. However, high dimensional and nonlinear nature of fluid flows poses challenges in designing efficient control laws. This paper aims to propose a hybrid method (i.e., machine learning and control theory) for feedback control of fluid flows. We propose a partially nonlinear linear-system extraction autoencoder (pn-LEAE), which consists of convolutional neural networks-based autoencoder (CNN-AE) and a custom layer to extract a low-dimensional latent dynamics. This pn-LEAE basically extracts a linear dynamical system so that the modern control theory can easily be applied, but at the same time, it is designed to capture a nonlinear development of the latent dynamics. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the linear system extracted by the pn-LEAE, as well as the designed control law's effectiveness for a flow around a circular cylinder at the Reynolds number of ${\rm Re}_{D}=100$. This is the first attempt utilizing CNN-AE for linearization of fluid flows involving transient development to design a feedback control law.

description: The energy and mass measurements of jets are crucial tasks for the Large Hadron Collider experiments. This paper presents a new calibration method to simultaneously calibrate these quantities for large-radius jets measured with the ATLAS detector using a deep neural network (DNN). To address the specificities of the calibration problem, special loss functions and training procedures are employed, and a complex network architecture, which includes feature annotation and residual connection layers, is used. The DNN-based calibration is compared to the standard numerical approach in an extensive series of tests. The DNN approach is found to perform significantly better in almost all of the tests and over most of the relevant kinematic phase space. In particular, it consistently improves the energy and mass resolutions, with a 30% better energy resolution obtained for transverse momenta $p_{\text{T}}>500$ GeV.

description: Due to the development of intelligent demand-side management with automatic control, distributed populations of large residential loads, such as air conditioners (ACs) and electrical water heaters (EWHs), have the opportunities to provide effective demand-side ancillary services for load serving entities (LSEs) to reduce the emissions and network operating costs. Most present approaches are restricted to 1) the scenarios involving with efficiently scheduling the large number of appliances in real time, 2) the issues about evaluating the contributions of individual residents towards participating demand response (DR) program, and fairly distributing the rewards, and 3) the concerns on performing cost-effective demand reduction request (DRR) for LSEs with minimal rewards costs while not affecting their living comfortableness. Therefore, this paper presents an optimal framework for residential load aggregators (RLAs) which helps solve the problems mentioned above. Under this framework, RLAs are able to realize the DRR for LSEs to generate optimal control strategies over residential appliances quickly and efficiently. To residents, the framework is designed with probabilistic model of comfortableness, which minimizes the impact of DR program to their daily life. To LSEs, the framework helps minimize the total reward costs of performing DRRs. Moreover, the framework fairly and strategically distributes the financial rewards to residents, which may stimulate the potential capability of loads optimized and controlled by RLAs in demand side management. The proposed framework has been validated on several numerical case studies.

description: Recently, it was found that a new set of simple techniques allow one to conveniently express ordinary integrals through differentiation. These techniques add to the general toolbox for integration and integral transforms such as the Fourier and Laplace transforms. The new methods also yield new perturbative expansions when the integrals cannot be solved analytically. Here, we add new results, for example, on expressing the Laplace transform and its inverse in terms of derivatives. The new methods can be used to express path integrals in terms of functional differentiation, and they also suggest new perturbative expansions in quantum field theory.

description: This exploratory study examined archival processing practices for sound recordings; primarily how and whether the practice of minimal processing termed "More Product Less Process" ("MPLP") can be applied to audiovisual holdings. Twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted with thirteen professionals representing eleven significant audiovisual archives throughout the United States. Participants were asked to share their perceptions of minimal processing, to self-identify where their own processing practice falls along the minimal-maximal spectrum, to explain what factors go into their methodological choices, and to discuss the role or response of their users. Participants expressed an appreciation for the need to get collections out for use as quickly and efficiently as possible, but expressed concern over whether this was possible within a minimalistic framework. Nearly half of all respondents described their institution's approach as trending towards the maximalist end of the spectrum, while acknowledging that priorities and descriptive levels were ultimately largely collection and context dependent.

Maintaining the quality of these links is a challenging task due to the presence of time-dependent noise, also known as decoherence. Entanglement purification protocols offer a solution by converting multiple low-quality entangled states into a smaller number of higher-quality ones. In this work, we introduce a framework to analyse the performance of entanglement buffering setups that combine entanglement consumption, decoherence, and entanglement purification. We propose two key metrics: the availability, which is the steady-state probability that an entangled link is present, and the average consumed fidelity, which quantifies the steady-state quality of consumed links. We then investigate a two-node system, where each node possesses two quantum memories: one for long-term entanglement storage, and another for entanglement generation. We model this setup as a continuous-time stochastic process and derive analytical expressions for the performance metrics. Our findings unveil a trade-off between the availability and the average consumed fidelity. We also bound these performance metrics for a buffering system that employs the well-known bilocal Clifford purification protocols. Importantly, our analysis demonstrates that, in the presence of noise, consistently purifying the buffered entanglement increases the average consumed fidelity, even when some buffered entanglement is discarded due to purification failures.

description: Size is a fundamental parameter for measuring the growth of galaxies and the role of the environment on their evolution. However, the conventional size definitions used for this purpose are often biased and miss the diffuse, outermost signatures of galaxy growth, including star formation and gas accretion. This issue is addressed by examining low surface brightness truncations or galaxy ``edges'' as a physically motivated tracer of size based on star formation thresholds. Our total sample consists of $\sim900$ galaxies with stellar masses ranging from $10^5 M_{\odot} < M_{\star} < 10^{11} M_{\odot}$. This sample of nearby cluster, group satellite and nearly isolated field galaxies was compiled using multi-band imaging from the Fornax Deep Survey, deep IAC Stripe 82 and Dark Energy Camera Legacy Surveys. We find that the edge radii scale as $R_{\rm edge} \propto M_{\star}^{0.42}$ with a very small intrinsic scatter ($\sim 0.07$ dex). The scatter is driven by the morphology and environment of galaxies. In both the cluster and field, early-type dwarfs are systematically smaller by $\sim20\%$ than the late-types. However, compared to the field galaxies in the Fornax cluster are the most impacted. At a fixed stellar mass, edges in the cluster can be found at $\sim$ 50\% smaller radii and the average stellar surface density at the edges is a factor of two higher $\sim 1\,M_{\odot}$/pc$^2$. Our findings support the rapid removal of loosely bound neutral hydrogen in hot, crowded environments which truncates galaxies outside-in earlier, preventing the formation of more extended sizes and lower density edges. Our results highlight the importance of deep imaging surveys to study the low surface brightness imprints of the large scale structure and environment on galaxy evolution.

description: This study aims to develop a deeper understanding of the individuals who are special librarians.  In order to create this defining view into special librarianship, a secondary analysis of the Workforce Issues in Library and Information Science (WILIS) was completed.  Comparisons were made between special librarians and librarians who work in traditional library settings to determine significant patterns and differences.    Through statistical testing, the areas of inspiration, education, career history, and job satisfaction were explored.  Despite their similarities, the two librarian types differed with their motivations and valued job characteristics.  Special librarians would often value job qualities uniquely available in special libraries, like flexible career options and opportunities for advancement while they were less inspired by the service-oriented aspects of traditional librarianship, like helping others and making a difference in society.  Results from this study create a clearer definition of who special librarians are and what makes them so special.

description: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the most common forms of heart disease, which is caused by a buildup of atherosclerotic plaque (known as stenosis) in the coronary arteries, leading to insufficient supplement of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the heart. Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), measuring the pressure ratio between the aorta and distal coronary artery, is an invasive physiologic gold standard for assessing the severity of coronary artery stenosis. Despite its benefits, invasive FFR assessment is still underutilized due to its high cost, time-consuming, experimental variability, and increased risk to patients. In this study, an attention-based multi-fidelity machine learning model (AttMulFid) is proposed for computationally efficient and accurate FFR assessment with uncertainty measurement. Within AttMulFid, an autoencoder is utilized to intelligently select geometric features from coronary arteries, with additional attention on the key area. Results show that the geometric features are able to represent the entirety of the geometric information and intelligently allocate attention based on crucial properties of geometry. Furthermore, the AttMulFid is a feasible approach for non-invasive, rapid, and accurate FFR assessment (with 0.002s/simulation).

description: Electronic books are gradually becoming essential resources in many library collections. While they have a number of advantages over traditional "analog" texts, there are still several issues of concern that both librarians and library patrons have regarding electronic books. A survey was taken of public librarians from 20 public library systems throughout North Carolina who were asked to share their opinions of electronic texts in the public library setting, along with their opinions concerning ebooks in general. The responses reveal a generally positive view of electronic texts as well as a positive view of their future in public libraries. Reasons why librarians enjoy the ebook format include their portability and potential interactivity; some reasons why some librarians dislike the ebook format are their expense and their difficulty of use.

description: The multilayer multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree (ML-MCTDH) method and the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) are powerful workhorses applied mostly in different scientific fields. Although both methods are based on tensor network states, very different mathematical languages are used for describing them. This severely limits knowledge transfer and sometimes leads to re-inventions of ideas well known in the other field. Here, we review ML-MCTDH and DMRG theory using both MCTDH expressions and tensor network diagrams. We derive the ML-MCTDH equations of motions using diagrams and compare them with time-dependent and time-independent DMRG algorithms. We further review two selected recent advancements. The first advancement is related to optimizing unoccupied single-particle functions in MCTDH, which corresponds to subspace enrichment in the DMRG. The second advancement is related to finding optimal tree structures and on highlighting similarities and differences of tensor networks used in MCTDH and DMRG theories. We hope that this contribution will foster more fruitful cross-fertilization of ideas between ML-MCTDH and DMRG.
