description: We study the full counting statistics of current of large open systems through the application of random matrix theory to transition-rate matrices. We develop a method for calculating the ensemble-averaged current-cumulant generating functions based on an expansion in terms of the inverse system size. We investigate how different symmetry properties and different counting schemes affect the results.

description: Precision pulsar timing is integral to the detection of the nanohertz stochastic gravitational-wave background as well as understanding the physics of neutron stars. Conventional pulsar timing often uses fixed time and frequency-averaged templates to determine the pulse times of arrival, which can lead to reduced accuracy when the pulse profile evolves over time. We illustrate a dynamic timing method that fits each observing epoch using basis functions. By fitting each epoch separately, we allow for the evolution of the pulse shape epoch to epoch. We apply our method to PSR J1103$-$5403 and demonstrate that it undergoes mode changing, making it the fourth millisecond pulsar to exhibit such behaviour. Our method, which is able to identify and time a single mode, yields a timing solution with a root-mean-square error of 1.343 $μ\mathrm{s}$, a factor of 1.78 improvement over template fitting on both modes. In addition, the white-noise amplitude is reduced 4.3 times, suggesting that fitting the full data set causes the mode changing to be incorrectly classified as white noise. This reduction in white noise boosts the signal-to-noise ratio of a gravitational-wave background signal for this particular pulsar by 32%. We discuss the possible applications for this method of timing to study pulsar magnetospheres and further improve the sensitivity of searches for nanohertz gravitational waves.

Curation, Connections and Creativity

description: Twitter’s integration into Higher Education learning environments has created both challenges and opportunities for teachers. The microblogging site can facilitate backchannels enhancing the active learning of students and enabling them to ask their lecturers and peers questions. Yet, there remain concerns about context collapse, the perceived negative impact on classroom engagement, and the limitations of trying to convey complex ideas using 280 characters. There has also been relatively little empirical evidence about the impact of Twitter use on student learning outcomes, especially within Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences. In this paper, I will add to this literature by exploring the three ‘C’s of using Twitter, curation, connectivity and creativity, with reference to my own experience of teaching digital activism over the past decade. First, the microblogging site provides unprecedented opportunities for teachers to curate resources throughout the module, ranging from peer-reviewed journal articles to blogs and videos. Second, new horizontal and vertical connections can be made within the class, as students follow not only each other but also scholars in fields such as digital activism. Third, Twitter helps promote and highlight the creativity of students during in-class exercises such as subvertisements created to critique consumer brands. Finally, I reflect on the challenges of measuring the effectiveness of using Twitter as a ‘backchannel’ for Higher Education teaching. I argue that ‘watching’ may be an underappreciated response to the use of a class hashtag in light of the privacy concerns raised by the use of corporate social media as learning environments.

Using Effective Operators to Understand CoGeNT and CDMS-Silicon

description: Several direct detection experiments have reported positive signals consistent with a dark matter particle with a mass of approximately 7-9 GeV and a spin independent scattering cross section of 2.5-4.8 x 10^-41 cm^2. These results do not rise to the level of discovery, but assuming that they are due to dark matter, some questions about the underlying physics can already be addressed. In this paper, I apply the effective operator formalism for dark matter-Standard Model interactions to the results of the CoGeNT and CDMS silicon target experiments. I demonstrate that only one set of flavor-blind effective operators between dark matter can quarks can be consistent with the reported results in all energy regimes of interest, namely thermal freeze-out, nuclear scattering, indirect detection, and TeV-scale colliders. This set of operators implies large couplings of dark matter with heavy quarks. The alternative implies either that the new physics has non-trivial flavor structure, that the effective formalism is not applicable and so contains new states in the spectrum accessible at the LHC, or has large annihilation channels (possibly via effective operators) into non-colored Standard Model particles.

description: Este articulo discute el debate en torno a la historia cultural de México que ha tenido lugar en diversos foros académicos de Estados Unidos y en la revista Hispanic American Historical Review de 1999. Para entender las razones por las cuales este debate no ha tenido repercusiones tan claras en México, el artículo analiza la historia cultural practicada por Edmundo O'Gorman durante la segunda mitad del siglo xx. De la influencia del historicismo en México se desprenden concepciones específicas sobre el significado de cultura e identidad que es preciso revisar con el fin de establecer un vocabulario común y un diálogo productivo entre las historiografias producidas en ambos países.

description: We investigate the data collected by the high-cadence microlensing surveys during the 2022 season in search for planetary signals appearing in the light curves of microlensing events. From this search, we find that the lensing event MOA-2022-BLG-249 exhibits a brief positive anomaly that lasted for about 1 day with a maximum deviation of $\sim 0.2$~mag from a single-source single-lens model. We analyze the light curve under the two interpretations of the anomaly: one originated by a low-mass companion to the lens (planetary model) and the other originated by a faint companion to the source (binary-source model). It is found that the anomaly is better explained by the planetary model than the binary-source model. We identify two solutions rooted in the inner--outer degeneracy, for both of which the estimated planet-to-host mass ratio, $q\sim 8\times 10^{-5}$, is very small. With the constraints provided by the microlens parallax and the lower limit on the Einstein radius, as well as the blend-flux constraint, we find that the lens is a planetary system, in which a super-Earth planet, with a mass $(4.83\pm 1.44)~M_\oplus$, orbits a low-mass host star, with a mass $(0.18\pm 0.05)~M_\odot$, lying in the Galactic disk at a distance $(2.00\pm 0.42)$~kpc. The planet detection demonstrates the elevated microlensing sensitivity of the current high-cadence lensing surveys to low-mass planets.

An Exploration of Letter-Writing in Jane Austen's Work

Subjects: Gordon McClure Memorial Communications Prize - English

description: As a medium of communication, written letters stand apart not only in the intimacy of the connection they spark between writer and recipient but also in the very real, tangible nature of their existence. Jane Austen's use of written letters as key literary devices, especially in Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion, reflects her dexterity at exploring and developing the intricate web of social connection among her characters, particularly in the courtship plot. These letters seek to express what cannot be said aloud, overstepping whatever walls that have been put up by social convention or emotion in an attempt to reach directly to a person’s mind or heart. Almost as illuminating as the contents of the letters themselves is their sheer materiality – as readers, we are allowed to observe the process of their writing, seeing as they are handled, passed from person to person, read and re-read. In painting such a detailed, viscerally relatable picture of the exchange of these letters, Austen elevates them from words inked on a paper to something sacred, adding dimension to the novel by binding together the
thoughts and emotions of characters in ways that dialogue or gestures alone cannot.

description: By the Assmus and Mattson theorem, the codewords of each nontrivial weight in an extremal doubly even self-dual code of length 24m form a self-orthogonal 5-design. In this paper, we study the codes constructed from self-orthogonal 5-designs with the same parameters as the above 5-designs. We give some parameters of a self-orthogonal 5-design whose existence is equivalent to that of an extremal doubly even self-dual code of length 24m for m=3,...,6. If $m \in \{1,\ldots,6\}$, $k \in \{m+1,\ldots,5m-1\}$ and $(m,k) \ne (6,18)$, then it is shown that an extremal doubly even self-dual code of length 24m is generated by codewords of weight 4k.

a virtue in double-taking his latest "book" in the pages of the same journal.
("Double" stands for "indefinite," Derrida frequently implies. Exigencies of the
schedule of journal publication and the time table of an itinerant scholar have
turned the calendar to the Spring of 1984. An indefinite take, then.) Mr. Ulmer
gives an authoritative account of La carte. Some duplication is inevitable but I
shall, by and large, attempt to stay out of his arguments.
Online Legal Resources and Their Potential for Visual Learning Inclusivity
Creators: name: Courtney, Conor
Publisher: name: The Journal of Social Media for Learning
Year: 2020

description: Abstract The motivation behind this piece is to discuss the factors which relate to forms of legal education. In particular, this poster will examine the concept of the online legal resource. For the purposes of this discussion, the legal research tool under consideration is JustisOne. The argument of this poster is that legal research tools which are available online mark an important milestone in the advancement of legal education. This benefit emanates from the benefits the online resource format imparts on students, and how it affects issues of diversity, inclusivity and equality. By diversity, inclusivity and equality, this poster argues that online resources, and their ability to implement and prioritise visual learning elements. This visual learning approach supplants the traditional, and limited, approach to the teaching of law which many universities follow. Studies have highlighted the importance of visual learning in inclusive education, noting that the use of visuals can help to improve learning opportunities in those suffering from conditions such as Dyslexia. Given the international nature of many courses, and the attempts by many colleges to include non-native English speaking students, a visual depiction of information can also help to combat issues surrounding language proficiency.

Ao invés de se tornar uma nova ortodoxia para o estudo da região, a teoria da esfera pública está estabelecendo um diálogo entre historiadores interessados em fenômenos intelectuais e discurso político (a maioria deles centrada na história do liberalismo após as independências) e aqueles historiadores cujo interesse em formações sociais enquadrou seus estudos em termos de hegemonia e dominação de classe.

description: We investigate the radial metallicity gradients and azimuthal metallicity distributions on the Galactocentric $X$--$Y$ plane using mono-temperature stellar populations selected from LAMOST MRS young stellar sample. The estimated radial metallicity gradient ranges from $-$0.015\,dex/kpc to $-$0.07\,dex/kpc, which decreases as effective temperature decreases (or stellar age increases) at $7500 < T_{\rm eff} < 12500$\,K ($τ< $1.5 Gyr). The azimuthal metallicity excess (metallicity after subtracting radial metallicity gradient, $Δ$\,[M/H]) distributions exhibit inhomogeneities with dispersions of 0.04\,dex to 0.07\,dex, which decrease as effective temperature decreases. We also identify five potential metal-poor substructures with large metallicity excess dispersions. The metallicity excess distributions of these five metal-poor substructures suggest that they contain a larger fraction of metal-poor stars compared to other control samples. These metal-poor substructures may be associated with high-velocity clouds that infall into the Galactic disk from the Galactic halo, which are not quickly well-mixed with the pre-existing ISM of the Galactic disk. As a result, these high-velocity clouds produce some metal-poor stars and the observed metal-poor substructures. The variations of metallicity inhomogeneities with different stellar populations indicate that high-velocity clouds are not well mixed with the pre-existing Galactic disk ISM within 0.3\,Gyr.

description: We present a catalogue of high-velocity clouds (HVCs) from the Galactic All Sky Survey (GASS) of southern-sky neutral hydrogen, which has 57 mK sensitivity and 1 km/s velocity resolution and was obtained with the Parkes Telescope. Our catalogue has been derived from the stray-radiation corrected second release of GASS. We describe the data and our method of identifying HVCs and analyse the overall properties of the GASS population. We catalogue a total of 1693 HVCs at declinations < 0 deg, including 1111 positive velocity HVCs and 582 negative velocity HVCs. Our catalogue also includes 295 anomalous velocity clouds (AVCs). The cloud line-widths of our HVC population have a median FWHM of ~19 km/s, which is lower than found in previous surveys. The completeness of our catalogue is above 95% based on comparison with the HIPASS catalogue of HVCs, upon which we improve with an order of magnitude in spectral resolution. We find 758 new HVCs and AVCs with no HIPASS counterpart. The GASS catalogue will shed an unprecedented light on the distribution and kinematic structure of southern-sky HVCs, as well as delve further into the cloud populations that make up the anomalous velocity gas of the Milky Way.

description: The "idealist" and the "materialist" are both exclusive predications. There
have been attempts to question this exclusivist opposition, generally by way of a
critique of the "idealist" predication of the subject: Nietzsche and Freud are the
most spectacular European examples. Sometimes consciousness is analogized
with labor-power as in the debates over intellectual and manual labor.
Althusser's notion of "theoretical production" is the most controversial instance
[For Marx 173-93]. The anti-Oedipal argument in France seems to assume a certain
body without predication or without predication-function. (The celebrated
"body without organs" is one product of this assumption -see Gilles Deleuze
and Felix Guattari, Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia.) I have not yet
been able to read this as anything but a last-ditch metaphysical longing. Since I
remain bound by the conviction that subject-predication is methodologically
necessary, I will not comment upon this anti-Oedipal gesture. The better part of
my essay will concern itself with what the question of value becomes when
determined by a "materialist" subject-predication such as Marx's. This is a theoretical
enterprise requiring a certain level of generality whose particular political
implications I have tabulated in passing and in conclusion. Here it is in my interest
to treat the theory-politics opposition as if intact.

description: This paper is meant to give a brief outlook on the potential of solar energy in Sudan and how to calculate it. First, the procedure of calculating the total irradiance based on real weather data is highlighted and the amount of energy generated per year is then calculated. Second, the orientation of a PV module in the capital city of Khartoum is discussed as well as the implication of the local weather on the module efficiency. Finally, the amount of electricity needed to satisfy the national demand is given based on these calculations and considering other losses in the system. The calculations are carried out using the current commercial photovoltaic technology available in the country.

description: Entrepreneurship is about starting a new venture or initiative. It involves the willingness and capacity to manage, to organize a new business venture along with its risks to make a profit. The Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan (self-reliant India) campaign announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May 2020, is a launchpad to boost entrepreneurship, nurturing innovation, and development of an environment for rural-urban symbiotic development. India’s call to become a self-reliant economy is not aimed at protectionism or isolationism. It is for taking up a pragmatic growth strategy that would empower the country to identify and capitalise on the inherent strengths. This study analyses the importance of entrepreneurship culture, current status of entrepreneurial spirit among students in professional institutions, especially Business Schools (B-Schools), and proposes a working model with clear strategy and actionable plans to foster entrepreneurship attitude among students to encourage setting up of start-ups and similar ventures.

description: Compensated isocurvature perturbations (CIPs) are perturbations to the primordial baryon density that are accompanied by dark-matter-density perturbations so that the total matter density is unperturbed. Such CIPs, which may arise in some multi-field inflationary models, can be long-lived and only weakly constrained by current cosmological measurements. Here we show that the CIP-induced modulation of the electron number density interacts with the electron-temperature fluctuation associated with primordial adiabatic perturbations to produce, via the Biermann-battery mechanism, a magnetic field in the post-recombinaton Universe. Assuming the CIP amplitude saturates the current BBN bounds, this magnetic field can be stronger than $10^{-15}\,\mathrm{nG}$ at $z\simeq20$ and stronger by an order of magnitude than that (produced at second order in the adiabatic-perturbation amplitude) in the standard cosmological model, and thus can serve as a possible seed for galactic dynamos.

description: The Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS) is a 1.1 mm continuum survey of dense clumps of dust throughout the Galaxy covering 170 square degrees. We present spectroscopic observations using the Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter Telescope of the dense gas tracers, HCO+ and N2H+ 3-2, for all 6194 sources in the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey v1.0.1 catalog between 7.5 <= l <= 194 degrees. This is the largest targeted spectroscopic survey of dense molecular gas in the Milky Way to date. We find unique velocities for 3126 (50.5%) of the BGPS v1.0.1 sources observed. Strong N2H+ 3-2 emission (T_{mb} > 0.5 K) without HCO+ 3-2 emission does not occur in this catalog. We characterize the properties of the dense molecular gas emission toward the entire sample. HCO+ is very sub-thermally populated and the 3-2 transitions are optically thick toward most BGPS clumps. The median observed line width is 3.3 km/s consistent with supersonic turbulence within BGPS clumps. We find strong correlations between dense molecular gas integrated intensities and 1.1 mm peak flux and the gas kinetic temperature derived from previously published NH3 observations. These intensity correlations are driven by the sensitivity of the 3-2 transitions to excitation conditions rather than by variations in molecular column density or abundance. We identify a subset of 113 sources with stronger N2H+ than HCO+ integrated intensity, but we find no correlations between the N2H+ / HCO+ ratio and 1.1 mm continuum flux density, gas kinetic temperature, or line width. Self-absorbed profiles are rare (1.3%).

description: Patients with type 2 diabetes are at increased risk of cardiovascular events, and there is an associated economic burden attached to this risk. We conducted a retrospective claims database analysis to evaluate incremental cardiovascular costs in diabetic versus non-diabetic patients hospitalized for a cardiovascular event. Patients hospitalized for a cardiovascular event between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2005 were identified from a large US managed-care population. Diabetic patients were identified by evidence of type 2 diabetes in the 12 months prior to the index hospitalization. Direct medical costs and resource use - including inpatient expenditures (for the index and first recurrent hospitalizations), as well as outpatient, laboratory, and pharmacy expenditures (during the 3-year follow-up period) - were determined for patients with or without diabetes. Of the 29,863 patients identified with a cardiovascular hospitalization, 5,501 patients (18.4%) had a history of diabetes in the pre-index period (mean age, 57.8 years; 42.1% female). The overall mean follow-up period was 22.8 months. The incidence of subsequent cardiovascular events in the first year of follow-up was significantly higher for patients with diabetes compared with non-diabetic patients for all types of cardiovascular events except angina. Compared with non-diabetic patients, patients with diabetes had similar mean direct medical costs per patient for the index cardiovascular hospitalization ($17,435 versus $16,917; P = 0.09), and the first recurrent cardiovascular hospitalization ($18,488 versus $17,481; P = 0.2), yet higher mean total direct medical costs per patient for cardiovascular events during follow-up years (Year 1: $8,805 versus $6,982; Year 2: $13,860 versus $10,056; Year 3: $16,149 versus $12,163; all P ≤ 0.0002). The cost difference between diabetic and non-diabetic patients remained significant after adjusting for age, gender and other potential confounders in multivariate regression analysis. The mean (SD) total period of inpatient cardiovascular hospitalization after 3 years of follow-up was 3.3 (12.4) days for patients with diabetes compared with 1.8 (5.8) days for non-diabetic patients (P < 0.0001). Diabetic patients hospitalized for a cardiovascular event incur higher costs for cardiovascular care than their non-diabetic counterparts. This analysis of the incremental cardiovascular cost and resource use provides the basis for greater accuracy and precision when modeling the economic value of initiatives aimed at reducing cardiovascular morbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Correlating protein function and stability through the analysis of single amino acid substitutions

description: Mutations resulting in the disruption of protein function are the underlying causes of many genetic diseases. Some mutations affect the number of expressed proteins while others alter the activity on a per-molecule basis. Single amino acid substitutions as caused by non-synonymous Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (nsSNPs) often disrupt function by altering protein structure and/or stability, but can also wreak havoc by directly impacting functional binding sites. Given the experimental three-dimensional (3D) structure of a protein, we can try to differentiate between the "effect on structure/stability" and the "effect on binding". However, experimental 3D structures are available for only 1% of all known proteins; the magnitude of stability change caused by a given mutation is more widely available. Here, we analyze to which extent the functional effect of a mutation can be predicted from the effect on protein stability. We find that simple sequence-based methods succeed in predicting functional effects of nsSNPs. In fact, such methods consistently outperform approaches that predict functional change through the application of binary thresholds to stability change. We also observed that if stability is affected, functional change is easier to predict than when stability is not affected. Our results confirmed that stability change is somehow related to function change. However, we also show that the knowledge of stability changes in no way suffices to predict functional changes and that many function changing mutations have no effect on stability.

description: The study provides an overview of Millennium Development Goals that relates to the promotion of girl-child education of Kaduna North Local Government Area of Kaduna state. It provides a theoretical framework on girl child education within the context of Millennium Development Goals. The study is enriched with the administration of a total of 200 questionnaires and an in-depth interview session. The data collected are analyzed using simple descriptive statistical tools like frequency and percentage distribution. It enumerates the objectives, strategies, activities, achievements, and good practices of promotion of girl child education for development in the selected local government area. Specifically, the study focuses mainly on evaluation aspect of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the Promotion of Girl-Child Education. It further identifies the challenges and constraints of girl child against full participation in educational provision at various levels for gender equity and development in the area. Far reaching recommendations on measures to overcome the identified daunting challenges and constraints towards the attainment of MDGs goals relating to the promotion of girl child education in Nigeria in general and in particular in Kaduna North Local Government Area of Kaduna State are also made. The study opines that promotion of girl-child education is a viable strategy and of value towards the attainment of MDGs goals and development of women in Nigeria in general and the Kaduna North local government area of Kaduna state in particular.

description: Beam monitoring and evaluation are very important to boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), and a variety of detectors have been developed for these applications. However, most of the detectors used in BNCT only have a small detection area, leading to the inconvenience of the full-scale 2-D measurement of the beam. Based on micromegas technology, we designed a neutron detector with large detection area and high counting rate. This detector has a detection area of 288 mm multiples 288 mm and can measure thermal, epithermal, and fast neutrons with different detector settings. The BNCT experiments demonstrated that this detector has a very good 2-D imaging performance for the thermal, epithermal, fast neutron and gamma components, a highest counting rate of 94 kHz/channel, and a good linearity response to the beam power. Additionally, the flux fraction of each component can be calculated based on the measurement results. The Am-Be neutron source experiment indicates that this detector has a spatial resolution of approximately 1.4 mm, meeting the requirements of applications in BNCT. It is evident that this micromegas-based neutron detector with a large area and high counting rate capability has great development prospects in BNCT beam monitoring and evaluation applications.
