description: New derivatives of 4-(2-(2-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxin-6-yl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl)morpholine (DDIM) have been successfully synthesised and characterised using spectral methods such as FT-IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR. Density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) level of theory was used to determine optimised bond parameters and single crystal XRD investigations confirmed the structure of DDIM. The results of single crystal XRD measurements aligned well with the optimised geometrical parameters from DFT calculations. Frontier molecular orbital computations provided insights into the molecule's stability, chemical reactivity and charge transfer. Atomic charges were determined using mulliken population analysis. The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) mapped to electron density surfaces identified potential reactive sites. This molecule shows promise as a potential NLO material due to its high μβ0 value. Binding affinities were determined via molecular docking against the COVID-19 major protease (Mpro: 6WCF/6Y84/6LU7). A 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation under in silico physiological conditions confirmed the stability of the complex structure formed with the COVID-19 protein, revealing a stable conformation and binding pattern in an imidazole derivative environment. Additionally, in-silico analysis predicted favourable to moderate anti-viral activity and anticipated the compound's absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) profiles.

description: In the early 2000s, Korea and Japan competitively initiated their preferential trade agreements (PTAs) with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in response to the unexpected progress of the China–ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations. In contrast with China, Korea and Japan initially preferred to negotiate PTAs with individual Southeast Asian countries, rather than with ASEAN. In 2003, however, Korea redirected its strategy and began the Korea–ASEAN FTA. Japan continued to emphasise a bilateral approach to negotiations but sought harmonisation of the individual PTAs through the ASEAN–Japan Comprehensive Economic Partnership. Sharing common international political and economic challenges, why did Korea and Japan take diverging negotiation paths? This research investigates the factors that shaped Korea and Japan’s respective negotiation methods with ASEAN by focusing on the interplay of domestic interests, institutions and ideas.
 The research findings suggest that Korea and Japan initially preferred bilateral PTAs because of their efficiency and to minimise the backlash of the agricultural sector. Japan had a greater incentive to promote bilateral strategy than Korea, not only to counter China’s move, but also to utilise its diplomatic leverages against ASEAN. The direct causes of the two countries’ divergence, however, came from ideas and institutions. The influence of ideas became evident when Korea’s and Japan’s initial emphasis on the East Asia-based PTAs began to head toward the different directions. Japan was path-dependent of its initial step-by-step strategy focused in East Asia. In contrast, Korea accommodated the new ideas that aimed at cross-regional PTAs, making the Korea-ASEAN FTA a stepping stone for cross-regional PTAs rather than East Asia-based PTAs. Institutional factors account for the supply side of PTA decision-making processes by demonstrating how the intra-democracy variations, combined by bureaucracy discretion, empowered relevant decision-makers, which led to the reversal of negotiation progresses between Korea and Japan.
 The empirical research findings significantly contribute to the international political economy literature by testing the applicability of the domestic level analysis. They provide an alternative perspective to the existing debate on the compatibility of bilateralism and regionalism in East Asia and thus to the political economy of trade policy in the region. The findings also shed light on the country-specific factors shaping the economic regionalism of East Asia.

description: The emergence of Deep Learning has marked a profound shift in machine learning, driven by numerous breakthroughs achieved in recent years. However, as Deep Learning becomes increasingly present in everyday tools and applications, there is a growing need to address unresolved challenges related to its efficiency and sustainability. This dissertation delves into the role of inductive biases -- particularly, continuous modeling and symmetry preservation -- as strategies to enhance the efficiency of Deep Learning. It is structured in two main parts.
 The first part investigates continuous modeling as a tool to improve the efficiency of Deep Learning algorithms. Continuous modeling involves the idea of parameterizing neural operations in a continuous space. The research presented here demonstrates substantial benefits for the (i) computational efficiency -- in time and memory, (ii) the parameter efficiency, and (iii) design efficiency -- the complexity of designing neural architectures for new datasets and tasks.
 The second focuses on the role of symmetry preservation on Deep Learning efficiency. Symmetry preservation involves designing neural operations that align with the inherent symmetries of data. The research presented in this part highlights significant gains both in data and parameter efficiency through the use of symmetry preservation. However, it also acknowledges a resulting trade-off of increased computational costs.
 The dissertation concludes with a critical evaluation of these findings, openly discussing their limitations and proposing strategies to address them, informed by literature and the author insights. It ends by identifying promising future research avenues in the exploration of inductive biases for efficiency, and their wider implications for Deep Learning.

description: Choose Your End! is a short story collection that examines what it means to live in a world with containers at every corner. Containers like houses and studio apartments and Tupperware and blenders, and containers like the social constraints of domesticity and womanhood and the physical body. There are limitations in this world both out of and within our control. Both voluntary and involuntary. These stories delve into the ways in which we are affected by our surroundings, our technology, our relationships, our bodies, and our minds and the ways that individuals affect those in turn. Moreover, these stories attempt to pull apart how self-awareness works with regard to these affects alongside how conscious and subconscious delusion pairs with or overshadows that awareness. The world is weird. Mundane things that people accept as normal ways of life are really strange. This collection shifts into and out of the absurd to clash the mundane with the bizarre in an attempt to examine just how weird our world is. And also, because sometimes the traditional ways of examining the world and human existence within it do not feel nearly sufficient enough.

description: In Resurrection Flowers and Indigenous Ecological Knowledge Kaden C. Milliren seeks to evaluate and analyze differences in perspectives and perceptions of the environment between Western and Indigenous worldviews and, consequentially, the different attitudes and ways-ofbeing with the world that emerge as a result. In so doing, Milliren discusses the sacredness of local landscape for Indigenous peoples and the role its spiritually-significant elements impact an entire cosmology. These important elements of sacred local ecologies are socially, materially, and symbolically rhetorical, ascribing meaning onto all elements of worldview from faith to ceremony, oratory to cultural tradition, physical sustenance to ancestral connection. In feedback and feedforward loops, these aspects of cosmology continue to ascribe meaning onto one another, affecting and being affected by each other, continually weaving together meaning and, therefore, rhetorical mattering.
In this case study Milliren discusses the sacredness of the landscape of Southcentral Washington State, the land of the Yakama Nation, an affiliation of 14 bands and tribes indigenous to the area. Central to the physical ecology, as well as the ecology of life for the Indigenous population, is the salmon, a food source significant to all areas of Yakama life and central to Yakama spirituality, oral tradition, ceremony, and nourishment. Tracing the impact of colonial capitalism beginning in the 19th century, Milliren discusses diminished salmon populations and its impact on the local landscape as well as the Yakama way of life. Additionally, he discusses the Yakama Nation’s response to colonial violence through acts of culturally-situated events aimed at maintaining Yakama tradition and improving its peoples’ cultural and physical health. Coining the term resurrection flowers Milliren analyzes the ways the government has utilized the salmon for monetary gain at the expense of Indigenous populations, and how Indigenous activists have fought to preserve the salmon population and resurrect cultural tradition through revitalized acts of decolonial cultural practices.

description: The design of novel antimicrobial drugs is necessary due to the increasing resistance to many existing antibiotics. Considering that the drug discovery process requires a lot of time and resources, computational chemistry and molecular docking as the basic components in the drug discovery process, can help the acceleration of this prolonged process and minimise the research costs. In this study, 64 molecules containing the Isatin scaffold were subjected to quantitative structure–activity relationship analysis to identify the necessary features for designing effective antimicrobial agents. Three chemometrics methods were employed to establish a connection between structural parameters and antibacterial effects. MLR was identified as the best model, demonstrating high accuracy compared to the other models. Based on the obtained model, ten novel lead compounds were designed, and their antibacterial potency of these compounds was assessed. The outputs of the molecular docking study revealed that compound S4 fits well in the ATP-binding site and blocks ATPase activity. Additionally, it was observed that compound S4 exhibited adequate binding affinity against the DNA gyrase target. An appropriate relationship was observed between QSAR, DFT and molecular modelling approaches. Therefore, compound S4 can be considered as a promising candidate for further development as an antibacterial agent.

description: A thermodynamically consistent coarsed-grained phase field model was developed to find the conditions under which a heterogeneous porous electrode can be treated as homogeneous in the description of Lithium-ions in rechargeable batteries. Four regimes of behavior under which the transport phenomena can be homogenized to describe porous LIBs were identied: regime (a), where the model is inaccurate, for physically accessible particle packings of aspect ratios smaller than c/a = 0.5 and electrode porosities between 0.34 to 0.45; regime (b), where the model is valid, for particles of aspect ratios greater than c/a = 0.7 and electrode porosities greater than 0.35; regime (c), where the model is valid, but the microstructures are physically inaccessible, and correspond to particles with aspect ratios greater than c/a = 0.7 and electrode porosities smaller than 0.34; and regime (d), where the model is invalid and the porous microstructures are physically inaccessible, and correspond to particles with aspect ratios smaller than c/a = 1 and electrode porosities smaller than 0.34. The developed formulation was applied to the graphite | LixNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 system to analyze the effect of microstructure and coarsed-grained long-range chemomechanical effects on the electrochemical behavior. Specically, quantiable lithium distribution populations in the cathode, as a result of long range interactions of the diffuse interface, charge effects and mechanical stresses were identified: i) diffusion limited population due to negligible composition gradients, ii) stress-induced population as a result of chemically induced stresses, and iii) lithiation-induced population, as a consequence of the electrochemical potential gradients.

description: The ‘local-monomer’ method serves as both a conceptual framework and numerically useful computational approach for studying the vibrational spectra of molecular clusters, liquids, and molecular solids. Within such a framework, internally coupled monomer vibrations oscillate in the full electronic response of surrounding monomers. Many-body potentials afford the possibility of exploring the roles played by components of this response – including n-body terms, permanent and induced electrostatics, and dispersion – in influencing the resulting spectra. In this investigation, the MB-pol water potential is used to decompose anharmonic couplings in local-monomer spectra of water clusters, (H2O)6 to (H2O)102. All potential-energy components were found to be critical for single-mode harmonic and anharmonic behaviour. Two-mode anharmonic couplings, however, were largely captured by one-body (monomer) terms in the potential, with some transitions reliant on many-body polarisation in the stronger collective environments of larger clusters. The remnant three-mode anharmonic coupling effects were mostly captured by one-body potential terms. Encouragingly, most of these truncated potentials still included resonant vibrational effects that are reliant on mode coupling and anharmonicity. These outcomes suggest the possible development of reduced-cost anharmonic simulation methods and also provide insight into the nature of the evidently local environmental response encoded in water clusters.

description: We report new experimental data for excited states of $^{72,74}$Se obtained from proton removal from $^{73,75}$Br secondary beams on a proton target. The experiments were performed with the Ursinus-NSCL Liquid Hydrogen Target and the combined GRETINA+S800 setup at the Coupled Cyclotron Facility of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. Within uncertainties, the inclusive cross sections for proton removal from $^{73,75}$Br on a proton target are identical suggesting that the same single-particle orbitals contribute to the proton-removal reaction. In addition, details of the partial cross section fragmentation are discussed. The data might suggest that $l = 1, 2, 3$, and 4 angular momentum transfers are important to understand the population of excited states of $^{72,74}$Se in proton removal. Available data for excited states of $^{74}$Ge populated through the $^{75}$As$(d,{}^{3}{\mathrm{He}}){}^{74}$Ge proton-removal reaction in normal kinematics suggest indeed that the $fp$ and $sd$ shell as well as the $1g_{9/2}$ orbital contribute. A comparison to data available for odd-$A$ nuclei supports that the bulk of the spectroscopic strengths could be found at lower energies in the even-even Se isotopes than in, for instance, the even-even Ge isotopes. In addition, the population of high-$J$ states seems to indicate that multi-step processes contribute to proton-removal reactions at intermediate energies in these collective nuclei.

description: A better, more optimized processing pipeline for functional connectivity (FC) data will likely accelerate practical advances within the field of neuroimaging. When using correlation-based measures of FC, researchers have recently employed a few data-driven methods to maximize its predictive power. In this study, we apply a few of these post-processing methods in both task, twin, and subject identification problems. First, we employ PCA reconstruction of the original dataset, which has been successfully used to maximize subject-level identifiability. We show there is dataset-dependent optimal PCA reconstruction for task and twin identification. Next, we analyze FCs in their native geometry using tangent space projection with various mean covariance reference matrices. We demonstrate that the tangent projection of the original FCs can drastically increase subject and twin identification rates. For example, the identification rate of 106 MZ twin pairs increased from 0.487 of the original FCs to 0.943 after tangent projection with the logarithmic Euclidean reference matrix. We also use Schaefer’s variable parcellation sizes to show that increasing parcellation granularity in general increases twin and subject identification rates. Finally, we show that our custom convolutional neural network classifier achieves an average task identification rate of 0.986, surpassing state-of-the-art results. These post-processing methods are promising for future research in functional connectome predictive modeling and, if optimized further, can likely be extended into clinical applications.

description: Over the years, several scenarios – such as the stability-limit conjecture (SLC), two critical point (TCP), critical point-free (CPF), and singularity-free (SF) – have been proposed to explain the thermodynamic origin of supercooled water's anomalies, such as the sharp increase in thermodynamic response functions (isobaric heat capacity, isothermal compressibility, etc.) upon isobaric cooling. However, direct experimental validation remains challenging due to rapid phase transitions from supercooled water. In this study, using classical density functional theory with realistic theoretical water models, we examined how these different scenarios influence vapour nucleation kinetics at negative pressures. Our findings show significant variations in nucleation kinetics and mechanism during both isobaric and isochoric cooling. In the TCP scenario, the scaled vapour nucleation barrier (βΔΩv∗) increases steadily during isobaric cooling, with a slight decrease near the Widom line at lower temperatures (Ts). In contrast, the SF scenario shows a monotonic increase in the nucleation barrier. For the CPF scenario, we observed non-classical pathways – wetting-mediated (where the growing vapour nucleus is wetted by the intermediate low-density liquid phase), and Ostwald's step rule (where the metastable high-density liquid first transitions to the intermediate low-density liquid phase rather than directly to the globally stable vapour phase) – at low temperatures. Isochoric cooling pathways also revealed notable differences in T-dependent βΔΩv∗ trends between the TCP and CPF scenarios. Overall, this study underscores the importance of analyzing vapour nucleation kinetics and mechanism at negative pressures to understand the precise thermodynamic origin of supercooled water's anomalies.

description: Half of people over 75 in the United States suffer from age related hearing loss and have trouble understanding speech in a noisy background. Even older adults who have normal pure tone audiograms can have trouble understanding speech in a noisy background. Speech is a complex sound and therefore sounds more complex than pure tones are required to understand the differences in processing noisy speech in young and aged individuals. Band passed noise is easily controlled and is more complex than pure tones making it better stimulus for testing. The first place in the ascending auditory pathway that does complex processing is the inferior colliculus. Single unit recordings from the inferior colliculus of young and aged F344 rats were preformed using half octave band passed noise and pure tones. Firing rates, first spike latencies, the number of tuning peaks, normalized peak slope, bandwidth, and Q factors were all evaluated for each unit in response to band passed noise. For 54 of the units their responses to pure tones were also collected. Out of 286 units recorded from young animals, 218 were responsive and 178 of them had a band passed response. Out of 193 aged units, 145 were responsive and 134 had a band passed response. Young units had a significantly higher total firing rate (p = 0.008) and bandwidth (p = 0.004). The normalized peak slopes and Q factors were significantly lower in young units indicating sharper tuning in the aged units. Pure tones elicited a stronger response than band passed noise however, for many units the best frequency was similar for both stimuli. These results show that aged units are less responsive to stimuli containing multiple frequencies which may help explain why older adults have trouble understanding noisy speech.

description: Rate coefficient for the reaction of propionic acid (PA) with Cl atoms was investigated at 298 K and 600–700 Torr of N2 using a relative rate technique. The experimentally measured rate coefficient for the reaction of PA with Cl atoms at 298 K was found to be (1.96 ± 0.76) × 10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. Theoretical calculations were performed for the temperature-dependent rate coefficients of PA with Cl atoms and OH radicals using variational transition state theory (VTST), incorporating single-point energies (SPE) between 200 and 400 K. Both reactions exhibited a positive temperature dependency on rate coefficients and were fitted to the three-parameter Arrhenius expressions (cm3 molecule−1 s−1): kPA+Cl (VTST/Wig) = 4.5 × 10−21 T3.3 exp[539/T], kPA+Cl (VTST/Eck) = 2.2 × 10−21 T3.4 exp[431/T], kPA+OH (VTST/Wig) = 1.1 × 10−22 T3.5 exp[617/T] and kPA+OH (VTST/Eck) = 8.4 × 10−24 T3.9 exp[639/T]. This study reveals that at lower temperatures, hydrogen abstraction from the secondary carbon (–CH2–) dominanates for Cl and OH reactions, while at higher temperatures, hydrogen abstraction from the primary carbon (–CH3) and the –COOH group competes. The potential energy surface (PES), thermochemistry, tropospheric lifetimes, global warming potentials and degradation pathways of PA are also discussed in this paper.

description: Small single-stranded non-coding ribonucleic acids (RNAs) perform several critical functions within living cells. However, the thermodynamics of nanoscale RNA strains remain poorly understood. In this work, we studied the non-equilibrium and size-dependent thermodynamics of stretching and relaxation for various RNA strain lengths (N = 5, 10, and 50), compositions (poly-adenosine, guanosine, cytidine, and uridine), and secondary structure complexities (hairpin loops: 1ZIG and 2KOC) using molecular dynamics simulations. We calculate the Gibbs and Helmholtz energies during stretching, as well as the degree of base stacking for each molecule as a function of elongation. Trends in thermo-mechanical properties dependent on RNA size, type, and structural complexity are highlighted. We observe fluctuations in force during length-controlled (isometric) simulations and fluctuations in length during force-controlled (isotensional) simulations. Our findings indicate that the role of base stacking on chain stability during stretching is influenced by RNA size, nucleobase type, and chain complexity (single-stranded vs. hairpin). Lastly, we investigate the energetic cost of repeated stretching and relaxation in both water and vacuum environments.

description: The recent FDA regulatory clearance for the 7 tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system has led to increased interest in clinical ultra-high field (UHF) applications. However, to robustly achieve the expected increase in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at UHF, the radiofrequency (RF) challenges need to be met, namely, problems with higher RF power, worse B1+ inhomogeneity (signal voids) and increased tissue dielectric properties at higher frequency, all of which usually results in increased specific absorption rate (SAR). The parallel transmission (pTx) techniques are generally accepted as a realistic solution, providing improvement in the B1+ homogeneity with good RF efficiency while reducing peak local SAR. We designed a hybrid circuit-spatial domain optimization to accelerate the design of a double row pTx head coil. The method predicted consistent coil scattering parameters, component values and B1+ field. RF shimming of the calculated field maps matched in vivo performance. To further increase the B1+ homogeneity in tissue, we added high dielectric material (HPM) pads near the coil, as the displacement currents in the HPM induced secondary B1+ in tissue. This raises a RF safety question of how to monitor millions of local SAR (complex valued Q-matrix) in the tissue voxels, for any weightings (forward voltages) applied to the pTx system. We implemented VOPs based on singular value decomposition to compress the Q-matrices with a compression ratio >100, effectively monitoring the maximum peak local SAR values at given weighting amplitudes.

description: The purpose of the study was to assess whether continuous student reflections in a tenth grade, all girls’ class impacted student achievement, and if the quality of students’ written reflections improved when the students were given more opportunities to reflect. This was an experimental study and involved the use of a pretest/posttest design to compare reflections and students’ work.  The measurement tool was researcher-created reflections and rubrics. The study took place over three and a half weeks, during which the experiment group received different treatment. The experimental group received continuous reflections, while the control group only received the pretest/posttest reflections. The null hypothesis was accepted, though these results could be attributed to a number of factors and threats to validity. Research should continue in this field and suggestions for future studies are presented.

A Study of Media Polarization with Authorship Attribution Methods
Creators: name: Hu, Yifei
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Natural language processing

description: Media polarization is a serious issue that can affect someone's views, ranging from a scientific fact to the perceived results of a presidential election. The media outlets in the United States are aligned along political spectrum representing different stances on various issues. Without providing any false information (but usually by omitting some facts), media outlets can report events by deliberately using the words and styles that favor particular political positions.
This research investigated the U.S. media polarization with authorship attribution approaches, analyzing stylistic differences between the left-leaning and right-leaning media and discovering specific linguistic patterns that made the news articles display biased political attitudes. Several models of authorship attribution were tested while controlling for topic, stance, and style, and were applied to media companies and their identity within a political spectrum. Style features that were compared included semantic and/or sentiment-related information, such as stance taking, with features that seemingly do not capture it, such as part of speech tags. The results demonstrate that a successful classification of articles as left-leaning or right-learning is possible regardless of their stance. Finally, we provide an analysis of the patterns that we found.

description: The purpos
e of this study was to determine whether the reading achievement of kindergarten 
students was affected by a parent involvement workshop intervention. This workshop 
taught
parents strategies and best practices to use while reading at home with their childre
n. 
Parent
s
and 
caregivers who were not able to attend the workshop were given a handout outlining the key 
points. The
sample consisted of 15 kindergarten students, some of wh
om
have parents who speak 
little to no English.
The study too
k place over three we
eks. After a
ttending the workshop or 
reviewing the materials 
prepared for
it, 
parents or caregivers were asked to read nightly with 
their child and complete a response to 
their 
reading
activity
three nights a week. Using a pre
-
test 
and post
-
test design, st
udents
’ reading
accuracy, comprehension
,
and strategy use
were assessed
. 
t
-
tests for dependent samples indicated
significant gains in the 
areas of accuracy and st
rategy 
use
, 
suggesting 
that 
parent
involvement 
may be associated with improvement in 
literacy
achievement
among kindergarten students.
Recommendations for future research include 
conducting 
controlled studies designed 
to identify
specific
practices for parent
s to implement to 
improve students’ 
reading achievement.

Memoryscoping the Bunurong Coast: Speculating on the Intimate and Complex Histories of a Personally Significant Place

description: Focusing on intimate, affective and respectful storytelling practices, this project-based research investigates the intricate historical forces that shape post-colonial Australian localities. Adopting a local and deliberately intimate lens, it articulates the nuanced and sometimes contradictory connections that exist between the actants, locations, histories, memories, and archives of a personally significant place—an untamed strip of southern Victorian coastline known as the Bunurong Coast.
Drawing inspiration from diverse academic disciplines and creative fields, this PhD inquiry is guided by dynamic approaches to place-based historically informed storytelling. Utilising scholarship on the inherent mutability and polyvocality of place, as well as respectful visitation and intimate representation practices., this research embraces creative and deeply personal modes of remembrance to explore the place I was born into, where I live, and where I feel simultaneously settled yet unsettled.
The methodological approach utilises the forensic and aesthetic qualities of Ross Gibson’s concept of the ‘memoryscope’—aesthetic forms, artefacts or designed experiences that embrace dynamic, responsive and unfinished representations to contain, focus and direct the forces of the past into the present. Applying iterative sketching practices, a suite of speculative place-based mixed-media amalgams have been developed to respond to the intricacies and contradictions of my personal connection to the Bunurong Coast. These sketches navigate cultural disjunctures (both within the place and its archives) whilst elaborating upon eclectic and overlooked historical occurrances.
Ultimately, this project-based research offers this suite of deliberately local and intimate histories of a specific place—the Bunurong Coast—to demonstrate an intimate creative practice methodology. Addressing not just the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’ of creative place-based history, this PhD explores how the past continually informs the present. Asking how a fifth-generation white settler goes about undertaking respectful inhabitation and storytelling of unceded lands, this research offers the practice of ‘memoryscoping’, which has been developed in response to a specific location intertwined by deeply personal imperatives. In doing so, it elucidates the value of embracing well-considered but deliberately intimate, localised, speculative, uncertain, imprecise and amalgamative making practices.
