description: Let $Γ_{g,1}^m$ be the mapping class group of the orientable surface $Σ_{g,1}^m$ of genus $g$ with one parametrised boundary curve and $m$ permutable punctures; when $m=0$ we omit it from the notation. Let $β_{m}(Σ_{g,1})$ be the braid group on $m$ strands of the surface $Σ_{g,1}$. We prove that $H_*(Γ_{g,1}^m;\mathbb{Z}_2)\cong H_*(Γ_{g,1};H_*(β_{m}(Σ_{g,1});\mathbb{Z}_2))$. The main ingredient is the computation of $H_*(β_{m}(Σ_{g,1});\mathbb{Z}_2)$ as a symplectic representation of $Γ_{g,1}$.

description: Successive pairs of pseudo-random numbers generated by standard linear congruential transformations display ordered patterns of parallel lines. We study the ``ordered'' and ``chaotic'' distribution of such pairs by solving the eigenvalue problem for two-dimensional modular transformations over integers. We conjecture that the optimal uniformity for pair distribution is obtained when the slope of linear modular eigenspaces takes the value $n_{opt} = maxint(p /\sqrt{p-1})$, where $p$ is a prime number. We then propose a new generator of pairs of independent pseudo-random numbers, which realizes an optimal uniform distribution (in the ``statistical'' sense) of points on the unit square $(0,1] \times (0,1]$. The method can be easily generalized to the generation of $k$-tuples of random numbers (with $k>2$)

description: We use the field theoretical model to perform relativistic calculations of neutrino energy losses caused by the direct Urca processes on nucleons in the degenerate baryon matter. By our analysis, the direct neutron decay in the superdense nuclear matter under beta equilibrium is open only due to the isovector meson fields, which create a large energy gap between protons and neutrons in the medium. Our expression for the neutrino energy losses, obtained in the mean field approximation, incorporates the effects of nucleon recoil, parity violation, weak magnetism, and pseudoscalar interaction. For numerical testing of our formula, we use a self-consistent relativistic model of the multicomponent baryon matter. The relativistic emissivity of the direct Urca reactions is found substantially larger than predicted in the non-relativistic approach. We found that, due to weak magnetism effects, relativistic emissivities increase by approximately 40-50%, while the pseudoscalar interaction only slightly suppresses the energy losses, approximately by 5%.

description: A procedure to predict the occurrence of periodic clusters in a system of globally coupled maps displaying a constant mean field is presented. The method employs the analogy between a system of globally coupled maps and a single map driven by a constant force. By obtaining the asymptotic orbits of the driven map, an associated coupling function can be constructed. This function allows to establish a direct connection between both systems. Some applications are shown.

description: The Price model, the directed version of the Barabási-Albert model, produces a growing directed acyclic graph. We look at variants of the model in which directed edges are added to the new vertex in one of two ways: using cumulative advantage (preferential attachment) choosing vertices in proportion to their degree, or with random attachment in which vertices are chosen uniformly at random. In such networks, the longest path is well defined and in some cases is known to be a better approximation to geodesics than the shortest path. We define a reverse greedy path and show both analytically and numerically that this scales with the logarithm of the size of the network with a coefficient given by the number of edges added using random attachment. This is a lower bound on the length of the longest path to any given vertex and we show numerically that the longest path also scales with the logarithm of the size of the network but with a larger coefficient that has some weak dependence on the parameters of the model.

description: Supersymmetric loop contributions can lead to different decay rates of H+\to t\bar b and H-\to b\bar t. We calculate the decay rate asymmetry δ^CP = \frac{Γ(H+\to t\bar b)-Γ(H-\to b\bar t)}{{Γ(H+\to t\bar b)+Γ(H-\to b\bar t)} at next-to-leading order in the MSSM with complex parameters. We analyse the parameter dependence of δ^CP with emphasis on the phases of A_t and A_b. It turns out that the most important contribution comes from the loop with stop, sbottom, and gluino. If this contribution is present, δ^CP can go up to 10-15%.

Teacher development

description: This dissertation investigates the adaptation of a research-based professional development approach, Innovating Instruction, for special education teachers. This adapted approach uses assistive technology (AT) as a catalyst for helping teachers acquire design skills needed to include more inquiry-based practices. The adapted approach introduces effective teaching practices based on the learning sciences and demonstrates multiple ways to use AT to meet the needs of students. To address the “unexamined link between the use of design practices and the introduction of technology within a learning science framework,” (Meier, 2018, p.142), the Innovating Instruction© professional development framework (2018) at the Center for Technology and School Change provides a three-part approach to implement these changes: design, situate, lead. Two recent National Science Foundation grants have established the model’s positive impact on teachers’ ability to design projects, to shift from disciplinary to transdisciplinary project design, and to shift instructional thinking to include inquiry-based approaches. This dissertation responds to an important challenge in special education: the limited opportunities to prepare special education teachers to provide high-quality instruction to support all students. It uses technology as a catalyst to help special education teachers learn about design practices that engage students in inquiry practices that are culturally relevant and build on student strengths. The intervention introduced teachers to inquiry-driven design practices and used technology that supported new ways of understanding the capacity of special needs students through a six-month professional development program. The research design used was a convergent parallel mixed methods approach to analyze both qualitative and qualitative data to capture how special education teachers used AT to design inquiry-based learning. The analysis revealed a statistically significant shift over the period of the professional development, implementation, and reflection phases in terms of teachers’ ability to design inquiry-based projects that integrated AT. Also, the findings showed the importance of “situating” teachers’ needs, encouraging collaborative learning with colleagues, and developing a shared knowledge base of inquiry-based teaching strategies in special education classrooms. Findings from teacher questionnaires and interviews showed emerging leadership activities: teachers took more initiative to design projects and collaborate with other teachers in the school community.

In the extreme infrared, zero modes drive the cosmological constant to zero.

Teen Incentive Program: A Research and Evaluation Model for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention

Subjects: Social service

description: For many American adolescents, the decision to delay pregnancy is a manifestation of attitudes and behaviors which increase their ability to avoid unplanned pregnancies. Poor self-perception and external locus of control, in turn, are considered to be major determinants of the quality of decisions that many adolescents make. Research informs us that many factors: family, environmental and psychological, come together to motivate the adolescent's self-perception and perception of the risks of pregnancy and childbearing. To motivate the freshmen at an inner city high school, a three phase program of interventions using professional staff from a nearby hospital was developed. Built into this program was a research component based on the classic experimental design. The sixty students in the experimental group met once weekly for eight weeks in small groups of 10-12 each, to learn social interaction, communication, and decision-making skills as well as family planning and male/female sexual responsibility. Additionally, condoms were distributed free of charge along with encouragement to use them whenever a decision was made to have sex. The six week career mentorship component of the program made it possible for these students to try out a possible life career by spending time with a professional person in a chosen area of health care. The students then returned to their groups for a six week termination phase. Pretesting, based on the Nowicki-Strickland test and the Rosenberg scales showed no differences between the control and experimental groups, and incremental improvement after treatment which was not statistically significant, however, posttests results show a significant increase in the use of contraception amongst sexually active program participants. In addition, frequency of sexual activity decreased by more than one half after treatment. Students who completed the program participated in a graduation ceremony and were given certificates. These young men and women gave very positive evaluations to the program. More significantly, many of them have returned as volunteers and peer mentors to work with a new group who have just started the new program cycle.

description: Multiple natural philosophers in antiquity proposed that nature possessed considerable technical skill. Yet, the specific conceptual implications of this assertion were quite different in fourth century BCE Athens--with its pots, bronze tools and cisterns--than in second century CE Rome--where large-scale aqueducts, elaborate water machines and extensive glassworks were commonplace. This dissertation assesses the impact that these different technological environments had on philosophical and scientific theories. In short, it argues that contemporary technologies shaped ancient philosophers' physical assumptions by providing cognitive tools with which to understand natural phenomena. As a result, as technologies evolved--even in relatively modest ways--so too did conceptual models of the natural world. To explore these assertions, this dissertation focuses on two main fields of explanation, the vascular system and vision, and includes investigations of such technologies as pipes, pumps, mirrors, wax tablets, diagrams and experimental apparatuses. It demonstrates the ways in which scientific theorists use the specific material technologies around them as heuristics to conceptualize physical processes.

description: We propose new weak error bounds and expansion in dimension one for optimal quantization-based cubature formula for different classes of functions, such that piecewise affine functions, Lipschitz convex functions or differentiable function with piecewise-defined locally Lipschitz or $α$-Hölder derivatives. This new results rest on the local behaviors of optimal quantizers, the $L^r$-$L^s$ distribution mismatch problem and Zador's Theorem. This new expansion supports the definition of a Richardson-Romberg extrapolation yielding a better rate of convergence for the cubature formula. An extension of this expansion is then proposed in higher dimension for the first time. We then propose a novel variance reduction method for Monte Carlo estimators, based on one dimensional optimal quantizers.

description: This paper investigates the brain’s response to appealing and unappealing versions of images. We present results from several ElectroEncephaloGraph (EEG) experiments using images with varying levels of ‘pleasingness’ as stimuli, which shed light on the preference and perception of pleasing and displeasing image versions. An analysis of the EEG data shows a distinct and reliable difference in the neural response to image versions with the same content but different parameter values for saturation, contrast and brightness. We use this EEG data to create a neuralfeedback loop to automatically optimize these parameters to render more pleasing image variations.

description: Depuis près d’une décennie, la question de l’accès à l’eau potable fait l’objet de plusieurs études en RDC à suite de l’augmentation de la demande en eau de la population à raison de la croissance démographique. Dans ce même contexte, cette étude s’est consacrée à identifier les modes d’accès à l’eau, en évaluer les coûts et l’impact dans le budget des ménages de la ville de Kinshasa. Pour y arriver, une enquête a été menée auprès d’un échantillon de 105 ménages répartis dans les quartiers de Salongo, Madrandele et Mbanza Lemba. Les résultats révèlent que dans l’ensemble de voies d’accès à l’eau, la Régideso occupe une place de choix soit 57,8%. Les ménages combinent l’eau de la REGIDESO avec celle provenant d’autres voies. Parmi ces sources, figurent l’eau de forage, l’eau commercialisée en bouteille, le puits et l’eau de pluie. L’approche dépenses mensuelles montre que 54,3% des ménages dépensent plus de 50% de leur revenu pour l’alimentation. Economiquement, les ménages enquêtés sont vulnérables. Cette situation a été observée dans tous les quartiers visités. Quant à la part de l’eau, les dépenses mensuelles d’eau sont importantes dans la zone d’étude (7%). Le même niveau de dépense a été également enregistré dans chaque quartier sous étude. Ces résultats vont à travers une inférence servir dans l’élaboration d’une stratégie d’approvisionnement en eau pour atteindre l’objectif 6 des ODD, celui de garantir l’accès à l’eau et à l’assainissement et assurer une gestion durable des ressources en eau. Mais aussi, servir de seuil (3%) sur les dépenses à alloués à l’approvisionnement en eau, pour faire face à la vulnérabilité.

description: We consider the range of the simple random walk on graphs with spectral dimension two. We give a form of strong law of large numbers under a certain uniform condition, which is satisfied by not only the square integer lattice but also a class of fractal graphs. Our results imply the strong law of large numbers on the square integer lattice established by Dvoretzky and Erdös (1951). Our proof does not depend on spacial homogeneity of space and gives a new proof of the strong law of large numbers on the lattice. We also show that the behavior of appropriately scaled expectations of the range is stable with respect to every "finite modification" of the two-dimensional integer lattice, and furthermore we construct a recurrent graph such that the uniform condition holds but the scaled expectations fluctuate. As an application, we establish a form of law of the iterated logarithms for lamplighter random walks in the case that the spectral dimension of the underlying graph is two.

Teens and improvised spaces; A study of appropriation of outdoor places

Subjects: subject: City planning
subject: Sociology

description: In contemporary cities, teenagers have been excluded from public open spaces through design and policy. This study examines design as a form of control that induces users' behavior in space through formal and informal rules. These rules limit acceptable actions that can be conducted in spaces. This study thus asks, “what can we learn from teens’ use of open space? How can we facilitate creativity and freedom within the realm of designed space? It explores behavior through observations, interviews, and site drawings in three appropriated spaces in the Bay Area of California: a stairwell, a public plaza, and a convenience store parking lot. It includes the researcher’s reflections about her interactions with the teens involved and the effect of her personal identity on the outcomes. The study hypothesizes that teens' reasons for appropriating these places include a combination of exclusion from open spaces by socially dominant groups and the users’ need to express independence. This hypothesis was only partially supported by findings. Teenage users expressed feelings of belonging and ownership in these places and exhibited creative ways of using the built environment. This study demonstrates that the fields of design, planning, and policy can better serve this population by relaxing their control of users and of the built environment to allow for more creativity, freedom, and active appropriation.

description: This dissertation is a study of the early career of the American artist Joan Jonas that spans the years 1970-1984. At the turn of the 1970s, Jonas was one of the first artists to pick up a video camera. Exploring “live” video’s unique capacity to mediate the present moment, Jonas actively integrated the technology into her live pieces, which are some of the earliest examples of what was then first called “performance art.” Performance art has often been aligned with presence. In contrast, I argue that what at stake in the proliferation of live artworks by Jonas and others that merged performance and video was not a reserve of unmediated experience, but a presence that was newly technologized: telepresence. As Jonas investigated the novel ability to perform at a distance enabled by electronic media, her work led somewhere surprising: to telegraphy, telepathy, and the earliest telephones—“tele”-technologies that appear long obsolete (or completely fantastical). Evoking optical telegraphs, spirit mediums, speaking trumpets, and science fictional prostheses, Jonas’s early oeuvre reactivates the historical contexts and unrealized potentials surrounding these dead media. In so doing, she illuminates enduring formations of the body, subjectivity, and teletechnology underlying not only the twinned emergence of performance and video art in the 1970s, but also telepresence as a seemingly very contemporary (and increasingly pervasive) category of experience.

description: In this paper a pair of observables are proposed as alternative ways, by examining the fluctuation of net momentum-ordering of charged pairs, to study the charge separation induced by the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) in relativistic heavy ion collisions. They are, the out-of-plane to in-plane ratio of fluctuation of the difference between signed balance functions measured in pair's rest frame, and the ratio of it to similar measurement made in the laboratory frame. Both observables have been studied with simulations including flow-related backgrounds, and for the first time, backgrounds that are related to resonance's global spin alignment. The two observables have similar positive responses to signal, and opposite, limited responses to identifiable backgrounds arising from resonance flow and spin alignment. Both observables have also been tested with two realistic models, namely, a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model and the anomalous-viscous fluid dynamics (AVFD) model. These two observables, when cross examined, will provide useful insights in the study of CME-induced charge separation.

Care has been taken to use in the bibliography the terms that were used to express consumption in the study described, as "utilization", "disappearance", "sales", "unloads", etc. Except in a few instances, statistics of receipts of commodities on given markets have not been included. In the exceptions that were made, some indication was found in the study that the receipt figures were also regarded as the quantity consumed and these figures were therefore included. Statistics of unloads have been included because they were considered a "good index" to the quantity of food consumed in the cities for which unloads were reported. The summaries of unloads in the Statistical Bulletins and in the Yearbooks of the United States Department of Agriculture are described in detail.
description: The completion of this index was made possible by a grant of funds by the Federal Civil Works Administration to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics designated as C.W.A. Project F-1 entitled Compilation of an Index to Sources of Consumption Statistics, Prices and Movements of Fruits and Vegetables. This index represents the part of the project dealing with the sources of consumption statistics. The other part has appeared as Agricultural Economics Bibliography No. 55.

description: The coefficient function of the leading differential operator is estimated from observations of a linear stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE). The estimation is based on continuous time observations which are localised in space. For the asymptotic regime with fixed time horizon and with the spatial resolution of the observations tending to zero, we provide rate-optimal estimators and establish scaling limits of the deterministic PDE and of the SPDE on growing domains. The estimators are robust to lower order perturbations of the underlying differential operator and achieve the parametric rate even in the nonparametric setup with a spatially varying coefficient. A numerical example illustrates the main results.

description: We show that the cohomology algebra of the complement of a coordinate subspace arrangement in m-dimensional complex space is isomorphic to the cohomology algebra of Stanley-Reisner face ring of a certain simplicial complex on m vertices. (The face ring is regarded as a module over the polynomial ring on m generators.) Then we calculate the latter cohomology algebra by means of the standard Koszul resolution of polynomial ring. To prove these facts we construct an equivariant with respect to the torus action homotopy equivalence between the complement of a coordinate subspace arrangement and the moment-angle complex defined by the simplicial complex. The moment-angle complex is a certain subset of a unit poly-disk in m-dimensional complex space invariant with respect to the action of an m-dimensional torus. This complex is a smooth manifold provided that the simplicial complex is a simplicial sphere, but otherwise has more complicated structure. Then we investigate the equivariant topology of the moment-angle complex and apply the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence. We also relate our results with well known facts in the theory of toric varieties and symplectic geometry.

description: This research explores the importance of considering the unsaturated nature of tailings in the Brazilian mining industry’s tailings characterization efforts. It presents a case study involving two upstream-raised dams in Brazil, discussing the geotechnical campaign and material characterization conducted to understand the facilities’saturation conditions. The paper further discusses the installation of water content sensors to indirectly measure the degree of saturation, along with a brief overview of the calibration process implemented to enhance the precision of water content measurements in these sensors. The research demonstrates the significance of considering the calibration process when using such sensors in tailings engineering. The obtained results demonstrate that the sensor could accurately represent the expected saturation profile, with saturations close to 100% below the water table and gradually decreasing towards the surface. The case study and findings emphasize the importance of characterizing the unsaturated portion of tailings reservoirs to support further studies. Without adequate monitoring, the application of unsaturated soil mechanics can be approximate, particularly in climatic conditions similar to those in Brazil.

description: 3D face reconstruction from a single 2D image is a challenging problem with broad applications. Recent methods typically aim to learn a CNN-based 3D face model that regresses coefficients of 3D Morphable Model (3DMM) from 2D images to render 3D face reconstruction or dense face alignment. However, the shortage of training data with 3D annotations considerably limits performance of those methods. To alleviate this issue, we propose a novel 2D-assisted self-supervised learning (2DASL) method that can effectively use "in-the-wild" 2D face images with noisy landmark information to substantially improve 3D face model learning. Specifically, taking the sparse 2D facial landmarks as additional information, 2DSAL introduces four novel self-supervision schemes that view the 2D landmark and 3D landmark prediction as a self-mapping process, including the 2D and 3D landmark self-prediction consistency, cycle-consistency over the 2D landmark prediction and self-critic over the predicted 3DMM coefficients based on landmark predictions. Using these four self-supervision schemes, the 2DASL method significantly relieves demands on the the conventional paired 2D-to-3D annotations and gives much higher-quality 3D face models without requiring any additional 3D annotations. Experiments on multiple challenging datasets show that our method outperforms state-of-the-arts for both 3D face reconstruction and dense face alignment by a large margin.

Anomalous scaling regimes of a passive scalar advected by the synthetic velocity field

description: The field theoretic renormalization group (RG) is applied to the problem of a passive scalar advected by the Gaussian self-similar velocity field with finite correlation time and in the presence of an imposed linear mean gradient. The energy spectrum in the inertial range has the form $E(k)\propto k^{1-ε}$, and the correlation time at the wavenumber k scales as $k^{-2+η}$. It is shown that, depending on the values of the exponents $ε$ and $η$, the model in the inertial range reveals various types of scaling regimes associated with the infrared stable fixed points of the RG equations: diffusive-type regimes for which the advection can be treated within ordinary perturbation theory, and three nontrivial convection-type regimes for which the correlation functions exhibit anomalous scaling behavior. Explicit asymptotic expressions for the structure functions and other correlation functions are obtained; they are represented by superpositions of power laws with nonuniversal amplitudes and universal (independent of the anisotropy) anomalous exponents, calculated to the first order in $ε$ and $η$ in any space dimension. For the first nontrivial regime the anomalous exponents are the same as in the rapid-change version of the model; for the second they are the same as in the model with time-independent (frozen) velocity field. In these regimes, the anomalous exponents are universal in the sense that they depend only on the exponents entering into the velocity correlator. For the last regime the exponents are nonuniversal (they can depend also on the amplitudes); however, the nonuniversality can reveal itself only in the second order of the RG expansion.

Exactly Solvable Kondo Lattice Model in Anisotropic Limit

description: In this paper we introduce an exactly solvable Kondo lattice model without any fine-tuning local gauge symmetry. This model describes itinerant electrons interplaying with a localized magnetic moment via only longitudinal Kondo exchange. Its solvability results from conservation of the localized moment at each site, and is valid for arbitrary lattice geometry and electron filling. A case study on square lattice shows that the ground state is a Néel antiferromagnetic insulator at half-filling. At finite temperature, paramagnetic phases including a Mott insulator and correlated metal are found. The former is a melting antiferromagnetic insulator with a strong short-range magnetic fluctuation, while the latter corresponds to a Fermi liquid-like metal. Monte Carlo simulation and theoretical analysis demonstrate that the transition from paramagnetic phases into the antiferromagnetic insulator is a continuous $2D$ Ising transition. Away from half-filling, patterns of spin stripes (inhomogeneous magnetic order) at weak coupling, and phase separation at strong coupling are predicted. With established Ising antiferromagnetism and spin stripe orders, our model may be relevant to a heavy fermion compound CeCo(In$_{1-x}$Hg$_{x}$)$_{5}$ and novel quantum liquid-crystal order in a hidden order compound URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$.
