description: This project examines the economies of 13 municipalities in Southeast Massachusetts. Seven of the towns are located in Bristol County: Acushnet, Berkley, Dighton, Freetown, Raynham, Rehoboth and Westport. Five are located in Plymouth County: Carver, Lakeville, Marion, Mattapoisett and Rochester. And one, Plainville, is located in Norfolk County. The Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District (SRPEDD) has asked the Center for Economic Development to look at the forces which drive the local economies. SRPEDD has asked for some of the data to be shown over time so as to illustrate changes in the local marketplace. Examples of the data given here include population, educational attainment, wage and earning levels, and costs of living. We have also included a complete list of local inventors who have patented inventions in the past three years. This information was compiled for potential use in new economic development strategies The report is structured by municipality within the three counties. In each section, a general description of the town is followed by demographic and economic data, local opinions and potential economic development strategies. We have attempted to locate potential growth areas by analyzing data from the Massachusetts Department of Employment and Training (See.Section II. for methodology). To this end, a matrix highlighting growth areas is presented for each town. A second major component of the project has been to interview local government and business leaders in order to gather opinions on the economy and recommendations for economic development. Together, these two parts form the basis of our findings. We have presented the data aggregately. This will allow SRPEDD to see our general observations and to assess the raw data for the purposes of the larger report. Some of the aggregate statistics presented in Section III compile the information for the towns as a composite group. This is given so as to show some common traits which may exist among the towns.

description: We consider films and filaments of nanoscale thickness on thermally conductive substrates exposed to external heating. Particular focus is on metal films exposed to laser irradiation. Due to short length scales involved, the absorption of heat in the metal is directly coupled to the film evolution, since the absorption length and the film thickness are comparable. Such a setup requires self-consistent consideration of fluid mechanical and thermal effects. We approach the problem via Volume-of-Fluid based simulations that include destabilizing liquid metal-solid substrate interaction potentials. These simulations couple fluid dynamics directly with the spatio-temporal evolution of the temperature field both in the fluid and in the substrate. We focus on the influence of the temperature variation of material parameters, in particular of surface tension and viscosity. Regarding variation of surface tension with temperature, the main finding is that while Marangoni effect may not play a significant role in the considered setting, the temporal variation of surface tension (modifying normal stress balance) is significant and could lead to complex evolution including oscillatory evolution of the liquid metal-air interface. Temperature variation of film viscosity is also found to be relevant. Therefore, the variations of surface tensions and viscosity could both influence the emerging wavelengths in experiments. In contrast, the filament geometry is found to be much less sensitive to a variation of material parameters with temperature.

description: We study the optically-induced coupling between spins mediated by polaritons in a planar micro-cavity. In the strong coupling regime, the vacuum Rabi splitting introduces anisotropies in the spin coupling. Moreover, due to their photon-like mass, polaritons provide an extremely long spin coupling range. This suggests the realization of two-qubit all-optical quantum operations within tens of picoseconds with spins localized as far as hundreds of nanometers apart.

description: The Apollonian networks display the remarkable power-law and small-world properties as observed in most realistic networked systems. Their dual graphs are extended Tower of Hanoi graphs, which are obtained from the Tower of Hanoi graphs by adding a special vertex linked to all its three extreme vertices. In this paper, we study analytically maximum matchings and minimum dominating sets in Apollonian networks and their dual graph- s, both of which have found vast applications in various fields, e.g. structural controllability of complex networks. For both networks, we determine their matching number, domination number, the number of maximum matchings, as well as the number of minimum dominating sets.
Holographic probabilities in eternal inflation

description: In the global description of eternal inflation, probabilities for vacua are notoriously ambiguous. The local point of view is preferred by holography and naturally picks out a simple probability measure. It is insensitive to large expansion factors or lifetimes, and so resolves a recently noted paradox. Any cosmological measure must be complemented with the probability for observers to emerge in a given vacuum. In lieu of anthropic criteria, I propose to estimate this by the entropy that can be produced in a local patch. This allows for prior-free predictions.

SU(2) gauge theory of the Hubbard model: Emergence of an anomalous metallic phase near the Mott critical point
Creators: name: Kim, Ki-Seok
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose one possible mechanism for an anomalous metallic phase appearing frequently in two spatial dimensions, that is, local pairing fluctuations. Introducing a pair-rotor representation to decompose bare electrons into collective pairing excitations and renormalized electrons, we derive an SU(2) gauge theory of the Hubbard model as an extended version of its U(1) gauge theory\cite{Florens,LeeLee} to allow only local density fluctuations. Since our effective SU(2) gauge theory admits two kinds of collective bosons corresponding to pair excitations and density fluctuations respectively, an intermediate phase appears naturally between the spin liquid Mott insulator and Fermi liquid metal of the U(1) gauge theory,\cite{Florens,LeeLee} characterized by softening of density-fluctuation modes as the Fermi liquid, but gapping of pair-excitation modes. We show that this intermediate phase is identified with an anomalous metallic phase because there are no electron-like quasiparticles although it is metallic.
Redshift determination of the BL Lac object 3C66A by the detection of its host galaxy cluster at $z=0.340$

description: The BL Lac object 3C66A is one of the most luminous extragalactic sources at TeV $γ$-rays (VHE, i.e. $E >100$ GeV). Since TeV $γ$-ray radiation is absorbed by the extragalactic background light (EBL), it is crucial to know the redshift of the source in order to reconstruct its original spectral energy distribution, as well as to constrain EBL models. However, the optical spectrum of this BL\,Lac is almost featureless, so a direct measurement of $z$ is very difficult; in fact, the published redshift value for this source ($z=0.444$) has been strongly questioned. Based on EBL absorption arguments, several constraints to its redshift, in the range $0.096 < z < 0.5$, were proposed. Since these AGNs are hosted, typically, in early type galaxies that are members of groups or clusters, we have analysed spectro-photometrically the environment of 3C66A, with the goal of finding the galaxy group hosting this blazar. This study was made using optical images of a $5.5 \times 5.5$\,arcmin$^{2}$ field centred on the blazar, and spectra of 24 sources obtained with Gemini/GMOS-N multi-object spectroscopy. We found spectroscopic evidence of two galaxy groups along the blazar's line of sight: one at $z \simeq 0.020$ and a second one at $z \simeq 0.340$. The first one is consistent with a known foreground structure, while the second group here presented has six spectroscopically confirmed members. Their location along a red sequence in the colour-magnitude diagram allows us to identify 34 additional candidate members of the more distant group. The blazar's spectrum shows broad absorption features that we identify as arising in the intergalactic medium, thus allowing us to tentatively set a redshift lower limit at $z_{3C66A} \ge 0.33$. As a consequence, we propose that 3C66A is hosted in a galaxy that belongs to a cluster at $z=0.340$.

description: We apply our recently elaborated, powerful numerical approach to the high-resolution modeling of the structure and emission of circumstellar dust disks, incorporating all relevant physical processes. Specifically, we examine the resonant structure of a dusty disk induced by the presence of one planet. It is shown that the planet, via resonances and gravitational scattering, produces (1) an asymmetric resonant dust belt with one or more clumps intermittent with one or a few off-center cavities; and (2) a central cavity void of dust. These features can serve as indicators of a planet embedded in the circumstellar dust disk and, moreover, can be used to determine its major orbital parameters and even the mass of the planet. The results of our study reveal a remarkable similarity with various types of highly asymmetric circumstellar disks observed with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope around Epsilon Eridani and Vega. The proposed interpretation of the clumps in those disks as being resonant patterns is testable -- it predicts the asymmetric design around the star to revolve, viz., by 1.2--1.6 deg/yr about Vega and 0.6--0.8 deg/yr about Epsilon Eri.

description: We present a comparison of two non invasive digital systems. The one is a portable electrocardiograph (ECG) and the second a finger pulse Oximeter that was designed and assembled in our laboratory. The ultimate goal is to use a portable device such as an Oximeter with the prospect of calculating precisely the complexity measures of the heart rate regarding conditions leading to Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD), according to the “Natural Time Analysis” (“N.T.A”). This analysis demonstrates that when a complex system, like the human heart, approaches the critical state, it can provide us information well before the moment that the event will occur, like the case of SCD.

description: After introducing commutativity concept and summarizing the relevant literature, this work is focused on the commutativity of feedback conjugates. It is already known that a linear time-varying differential system describing a single input-single output dynamical system is always commutative with its constant gain feedback pairs. In this article, it is proven that among the time-varying feedback conjugates of a linear time-varying system, constant feedback conjugates are the only commutative feedback pairs and any of the time-varying feedback conjugates cannot constitutes a commutative pair of a linear time-varying system.

description: This study was made possible by the support of the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor Commission. In particular, we would like to thank James R. Pepper, the Executive Director, and Nancy L. Brittain, the community planner for the Corridor. Mr. Pepper's vision and political skills were invaluable for initiating this project. Ms. Brittain provided essential guidance and a much-needed understanding of the local community, economy, and needs. We would also like to thank Professors Jack Ahern, Mark Lindhult, and our department head, John Mullin, for their valuable advice and comments on the study and report. The Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor is on the verge of a development revolution that demands appropriate landscape planning and design. This study focuses on one component of the region's planning needs, adaptive reuse of historic mill structures. Adaptive reuse is one way to rebuild the economic health of the Corridor by using the existing old industrial fabric. To reveal opportunities and alternatives at the municipal level, this study examines the issue of adaptive reuse for the town of Uxbridge, Massachusetts. It is one of twenty towns in the Corridor. Uxbridge is chosen for the adaptation, development, and application of a methodology for adaptive reuse.

description: We propose Marve, a system for extracting measurement values, units, and related words from natural language text. Marve uses conditional random fields (CRF) to identify measurement values and units, followed by a rule-based system to find related entities, descriptors and modifiers within a sentence. Sentence tokens are represented by an undirected graphical model, and rules are based on part-of-speech and word dependency patterns connecting values and units to contextual words. Marve is unique in its focus on measurement context and early experimentation demonstrates Marve's ability to generate high-precision extractions with strong recall. We also discuss Marve's role in refining measurement requirements for NASA's proposed HyspIRI mission, a hyperspectral infrared imaging satellite that will study the world's ecosystems. In general, our work with HyspIRI demonstrates the value of semantic measurement extractions in characterizing quantitative discussion contained in large corpuses of natural language text. These extractions accelerate broad, cross-cutting research and expose scientists new algorithmic approaches and experimental nuances. They also facilitate identification of scientific opportunities enabled by HyspIRI leading to more efficient scientific investment and research.

description: We make a number of conjectures about the geometry of continuous moduli parameterizing the string landscape. In particular we conjecture that such moduli are always given by expectation value of scalar fields and that moduli spaces with finite non-zero diameter belong to the swampland. We also conjecture that points at infinity in a moduli space correspond to points where an infinite tower of massless states appear, and that near these regions the moduli space is negatively curved. We also propose that there is no non-trivial 1-cycle of minimum length in the moduli space. This leads in particular to the prediction of the existence of a radially massive partner to the axion. These conjectures put strong constraints on inflaton potentials that can appear in a consistent quantum theory of gravity. Our conjectures are supported by a number of highly non-trivial examples from string theory. Moreover it is shown that these conditions can be violated if gravity is decoupled.

Reproductive Applications of Ultrasound in the Cow

Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 2003

description: During the past decade portable ultrasound units that provide excellent image quality have become available to veterinary practitioners. The use of transrectal ultrasonography for evaluation of reproductive structures in cattle extends and enhances the diagnostic capabilities of practitioners beyond the traditional use of palpation per rectum. Ultrasonography of ovaries enables more consistent differentiation of ovarian follicles and corpora lutea. Accurate counting of follicles and precise measurement of follicles or corpora lutea is possible. Sequential monitoring of ovarian structures enables the user to characterize ovarian follicular waves, to identify dominant follicles and to detect ovulation. Images can be used to identify, objectively measure and to characterize the quality of a corpus luteum. Ultrasonography is also a valuable tool for identification of abnormal (cystic) luteal and follicular structures. Pregnancy diagnosis can be performed using ultrasound by day 19 to 24 post-breeding and fetal viability can be verified by visualization of a fetal heartbeat. Aging embryos and fetuses between days 20 and 100 of gestation can be facilitated by measuring crown-rump length (20-50 days) or the diameter of the head or trunk (50- 100 days). Sexing of bovine fetuses is accomplished by visualizing the genital tubercle (penis) and scrotum in males or by the lack of male genetalia and the presence of the genital tubercle (vulva) in females. Sex determination is most practical between days 60 and 85 of gestation. Like other diagnostic tools, ultrasound has limitations. Skill of the ultrasound technician in capturing clear images, differentiating anatomical orientations and interpreting ultrasound images is essential. The effective use of ultrasound technology enhances diagnostic capabilities and increases the services offered by veterinarians.

description: We present a comparison of two non invasive digital systems. The one is a portable electrocardiograph (ECG) and the second a finger pulse Oximeter that was designed and assembled in our laboratory. The ultimate goal is to use a portable device such as an Oximeter with the prospect of calculating precisely the complexity measures of the heart rate regarding conditions leading to Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD), according to the “Natural Time Analysis” (“N.T.A”). This analysis demonstrates that when a complex system, like the human heart, approaches the critical state, it can provide us information well before the moment that the event will occur, like the case of SCD.

Dinoprost Versus Cloprostenol
Creators: name: Martineau, Roger
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 2003

description: This factorial study was conducted to determine the reproductive performance of402 dairy cattle treated with either dinoprost (25 mg) or cloprostenol (500 pg), intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM), for synchronization of estrus in a randomized clinical trial. Breeding, conception and pregnancy rates were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression. The model included the treatments (2 types of prostaglandins and 2 routes of injection) as well as eight clinically-relevant covariables. Interactions between treatments were not significant and comparisons were made on the main effect. Comparisons between types of prostaglandins (PGF2a) showed similar breeding rates (82.6 vs 83.0%; P=0.93), but lower conception rate (38.6 vs 46.6%; P=0.13) and pregnancy rate (31.4 vs 39.2%; P=0.14) for dinoprost versus cloprostenol. When comparing routes of injection, a similar breeding rate (84.1 vs 81.4%; P=0.45), but lower conception rate (38.7 vs 46.7%; P=0.13) and pregnancy rate (32.5 vs 38.1%; P=0.23) were noted for IM versus IV injections. The statistical power of the study was 19%, which allowed detection (P<0.05) of a 5% difference or more in pregnancy rate between the main effect of treatments (200 animals per sample). Gender of calves was recorded on 117 calves and analyzed with univariate logistic regression. Overall, the male calf rate was not different from the expected population value (57.3 vs 53.0%; P=0.36). There was a greater proportion of male calves when using dinoprost compared to cloprostenol (72.3 vs 47.1%; P<0.01), when using IV rather than IM injections (66.1 vs 49.2%; P=0.07) and when inseminating cattle 4 days or later after PGF2 injection instead of earlier (69.4 vs 51.9%; P=0.08). It is concluded that the type of PGF2a used and the route of injection might affect conception rate and hence, pregnancy rate, and that the statistical power of the study was too weak to detect any significant differences. It is also concluded that the interval (days) from PGF2a injection to breeding, the type of PGF2a and the route of injection might influence the sex ratio of calves.

High-resolution reconstruction of cellular traction-force distributions: the role of physically motivated constraints and compressive regularization

description: We develop a method to reconstruct, from measured displacements of an underlying elastic substrate, the spatially dependent forces that cells or tissues impart on it. Given newly available high-resolution images of substrate displacements, it is desirable to be able to reconstruct small scale, compactly supported focal adhesions which are often localized and exist only within the footprint of a cell. In addition to the standard quadratic data mismatch terms that define least-squares fitting, we motivate a regularization term in the objective function that penalizes vectorial invariants of the reconstructed surface stress while preserving boundaries. We solve this inverse problem by providing a numerical method for setting up a discretized inverse problem that is solvable by standard convex optimization techniques. By minimizing the objective function subject to a number of important physically motivated constraints, we are able to efficiently reconstruct stress fields with localized structure from simulated and experimental substrate displacements. Our method incorporates the exact solution for the stress tensor accurate to first-order finite-differences and motivates the use of distance-based cut-offs for data inclusion and problem sparsification.

Johne’s Disease

description: This is the first report of intrauterine Mycobacterium paratuberculosis transmission from a bovine embryo recipient to the resultant calf. The recipient was ELISA and fecal culture test-negative before embryo placement, but became ELISA-positive during the pregnancy. Johne’s disease was confirmed at necropsy subsequent to Caesarean section. Her embryo transfer calf was diagnosed with Johne’s disease two years later. Strict research biosecurity protocols under which the embryo transfer calf was raised eliminated routes of post-natal exposure to M. paratuberculosis. The recipient cow had been purchased from a herd at risk for M. paratuberculosis infection for which no Johne’s disease surveillance was performed. To minimize the likelihood of purchasing an infected recipient cow or obtaining M. paratuberculosis- contaminated colostrum and thus jeopardizing valuable embryos, recipient and colostrum donor purchases should be made from a source herd with no or low, whole- herd Johne’s disease test prevalence. The risk of purchasing an animal with M. paratuberculosis infection can be better assessed with whole-herd infection prevalence data than with test results for a single animal only.

description: characteristics of farms (herd size, objectives to join, etc.) which participated in the core and Johne’s disease (JD) modules of the New York State Cattle Health Assurance Program (NYSCHAP). In addition, we evaluated whether the NYSCHAP JD module was successful in motivating farmers to adopt recommended management practices that limit transmission of enteric diseases, including JD. First, descriptive parameters of farms engaged in the NYSCHAP were determined. Second, adoption of recommended management practices was evaluated in a sub-group of farms. The average NYSCHAP herd was larger than the average dairy herd in New York state and had higher milk production. Goals for participation in the JD module mentioned most frequently by participants were 1) limit transmission of the disease, 2) become a JD negative herd and 3) gain information and have knowledge to change management on the farm. Most farms (94%) intended to do some kind of herd testing for JD and 83% intended to test 75-100% of their herd. The large number of laboratory tests conducted for each farm showed that completed testing corresponded with intended plans. The average percentage of advised management practices implemented by a sub-group of NYSCHAP herds was 74%. This indicates that the average farm appeared to implement 13 of 17 advised measures. An educational, process-oriented program, such as NYSCHAP, may be a successful way to encourage producers to improve herd health management on farms.

description: Laser-driven high-order harmonic generation (HHG) provides tabletop sources of broadband extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) light with excellent spatial and temporal coherence. These sources are typically operated at low repetition rates, $f_{rep}\lesssim$100 kHz, where phase-matched frequency conversion into the XUV is readily achieved. However, there are many applications that demand the improved counting statistics or frequency-comb precision afforded by operation at high repetition rates, $f_{rep}$ > 10 MHz. Unfortunately, at such high $f_{rep}$, phase matching is prevented by the accumulated steady-state plasma in the generation volume, setting stringent limitations on the XUV average power. Here, we use gas mixtures at high temperatures as the generation medium to increase the translational velocity of the gas, thereby reducing the steady-state plasma in the laser focus. This allows phase-matched XUV emission inside a femtosecond enhancement cavity at a repetition rate of 77 MHz, enabling a record generated power of $\sim$2 mW in a single harmonic order. This power scaling opens up many demanding applications, including XUV frequency-comb spectroscopy of few-electron atoms and ions for precision tests of fundamental physical laws and constants.

Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 2003

description: A California dairyman milking 1,969 cows reported excessive cases of clinical mastitis, and questioned whether teat-end lesions were associated with the problem. Using a system of teat-end lesion classification, the entire milking herd was observed for lesions during January 2002. Overall, 9.9% of the herd had some type of lesion, including warts and severe hyperkeratosis; 67% of lesions were severe teat-end hyperkeratosis. Cows with teat lesions were three times more at risk of clinical mastitis compared to cows without teat lesions. Because of physical limitations of the milking equipment and the owner’s reluctance to modify the milking routine, no management changes were made.

description: In contrast with goal-oriented dialogue, social dialogue has no clear measure of task success. Consequently, evaluation of these systems is notoriously hard. In this paper, we review current evaluation methods, focusing on automatic metrics. We conclude that turn-based metrics often ignore the context and do not account for the fact that several replies are valid, while end-of-dialogue rewards are mainly hand-crafted. Both lack grounding in human perceptions.
