description: To establish UK Physiotherapy lecturers’ perceptions of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional mixed methods electronic survey of UK higher education lecturers, actively teaching pre-registration undergraduate or postgraduate physiotherapy degrees, was conducted between October 2020 and February 2021. Data was converted into proportions with a 95% confidence interval. Likert scale questions were treated as numeric variables with the mean and standard deviation calculated for combined responses. The thematic analysis reported patterns of data extracted from open-ended questions. 96 respondents completed the survey, reporting some positive attributes attached to online learning. 81% (n = 78, 95% CI 72–88) agreed that students developed their digital skills and were able to learn conveniently at their own pace (n = 75, 78%, 95% CI 69–85). However, 62.5% (n = 60, 95% CI 23–72) of respondents felt that students were overall disadvantaged with online learning, with 72% (n = 69, 95% CI 62–80) reporting that online learning was not comparable to face-to-face to teaching. The reasons for perceived student disadvantage were categorised into three themes; 1) a lack of ability in sessions to practice handling techniques, 2) the inability to gauge student understanding and check practical skill competence and 3) the lack of student self-directed practice time. UK physiotherapy lecturers did indicate they would continue to incorporate online learning in the future (n = 84, 87.5%, 95% CI 79–93). Such responses were based on two key themes; an improved work-life balance and the perception that online learning was no more challenging than traditional on-campus delivery. UK physiotherapy lecturers reported that students were disadvantaged with online learning delivery compared to face-to-face teaching. Lecturers indicated a willingness to continue with aspects of online learning across the curriculum, despite suggesting it had a negative impact on students subject understanding.

description: The aim of this study was to describe and analyse the variety of respiratory appearances in Long COVID subjects who were not hospitalised during the acute phase of the infection. A consecutive series of 60 subjects participated x¯10.8 months (SD 4.5) after the acute phase of the infection. Respiratory function was tested concerning lung volumes, expiratory flow, muscle strength, physical capacity including concurrent oxygen saturation, chest expansion, lung sounds, pain and breathing pattern. Differences between those with or without positive test and duration of symptoms more or less than 6 months were analysed with T-test, Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test. Decreased forced vital capacity was found in 6/60 (10%), and forced expiratory volume in 1 s and 7/60 (12%), low maximal inspiratory pressure in 38/58 (54%) and low maximal expiratory pressure in 10/58 (17%). Decreased physical capacity was registered in 36/52 (69%), and thoracic expansion in 26/46 (56%). Pathologic lung sounds had 15/58 (26%) and six patients desaturated during the test of physical capacity. A majority (36/58, 67%) presented pain in the ribcage. All but three patients (95%) showed a dysfunctional breathing pattern in sitting and standing. Only poor and fair correlations were found between age, duration and level of physical capacity compared to spirometry, respiratory muscle strength and thoracic expansion. Abnormal breathing pattern and respiratory movements as well as pain, and reduced lung volumes, flow, respiratory muscle strength, physical capacity and thoracic expansion may be involved in Long COVID. The breathing symptoms should therefore be looked for in a wider picture beyond spirometry and oximetry.

description: Gerbert of Aurillac in the Mensura Fistularum explained how to compute the length of organ pipes. The method is shown on two octaves, starting from a fistula of length L=16 units and radius 1 which is equivalent at a monochord of length λ=18. The adopted acoustic correction for the first octave to the Pythagorean lengths is L=λ-αr with α=2. The lower octave starts from L=36-2=34 units. The proportion 16:34=34:x is used for obtaining the next diapason. All lengths of the notes of this second octave follow this proportion and no more the additional acoustic correction. Gerbert finds the same multiplicative law for computing pipes and monochord's lengths, opportune constants allow to switch from monochord (12) to lower organ octave (14+1/3+1/144+1/288) to the higher one (13 + 1/2). The purpose of this treatise is to show the same mathematical order, given by God, below different acoustical phenomena. This is a modern perspective in history of science, because experimental data (practical acoustical corrections) are also taken into account. The treatment is limited to pipes of same diameter, and it is no conceived for organ builders. An Italian translation of the core text of the Mensura Fistularum is offered. The experimental measurement of end and mouth corrections for two pipes of different forms and for the flute is presented to support with modern acoustics approach that discussion.

Denotational semantics for modal systems S3--S5 extended by axioms for propositional quantifiers and identity

description: There are logics where necessity is defined by means of a given identity connective: $\squareφ:= φ\equiv\top$ ($\top$ is a tautology). On the other hand, in many standard modal logics the concept of propositional identity (PI) $φ\equivψ$ can be defined by strict equivalence (SE) $\square(φ\leftrightarrowψ)$. All these approaches to modality involve a principle that we call the Collapse Axiom (CA): "There is only one necessary proposition." In this paper, we consider a notion of PI which relies on the identity axioms of Suszko's non-Fregean logic $\mathit{SCI}$. Then $S3$ proves to be the smallest Lewis modal system where PI can be defined as SE. We extend $S3$ to a non-Fregean logic with propositional quantifiers such that necessity and PI are integrated as non-interdefinable concepts. CA is not valid and PI refines SE. Models are expansions of $\mathit{SCI}$-models. We show that $\mathit{SCI}$-models are Boolean prealgebras, and vice-versa. This associates Non-Fregean Logic with research on Hyperintensional Semantics. PI equals SE iff models are Boolean algebras and CA holds. A representation result establishes a connection to Fine's approach to propositional quantifiers and shows that our theories are \textit{conservative} extensions of $S3$--$S5$, respectively. If we exclude the Barcan formula and a related axiom, then the resulting systems are still complete w.r.t. a simpler denotational semantics.

We find that the spins around the hole develop ferromagnetic order and quantify the degree of polarization at temperatures of order the hopping energy, finding a measurably nonzero polarization. We also discuss the effect of fixing the overall magnetization of the system for finite-sized systems.

description: Neutron diffraction results obtained for plastic crystalline dichlorodibromomethane (CBr2Cl2) have been modelled by means of the Reverse Monte Carlo method. Comparison with its liquid phase is provided at several levels of the atomic structure (total scattering structure factors, partial radial distribution functions, orientational and dipole-dipole correlations). Results reveal that the relative orientation of neighbouring molecules largely depends on the steric effect. The small dipole moment has not as strong influence as the steric effect on the short range order. Our observations fit well with earlier findings presented for the series CBrnCl4-n (n=0, 1, 2, 4).

description: The purpose of data warehouses is to enable business analysts to make better decisions. Over the years the technology has matured and data warehouses have become extremely successful. As a consequence, more and more data has been added to the data warehouses and their schemas have become increasingly complex. These systems still work great in order to generate pre-canned reports. However, with their current complexity, they tend to be a poor match for non tech-savvy business analysts who need answers to ad-hoc queries that were not anticipated. This paper describes the design, implementation, and experience of the SODA system (Search over DAta Warehouse). SODA bridges the gap between the business needs of analysts and the technical complexity of current data warehouses. SODA enables a Google-like search experience for data warehouses by taking keyword queries of business users and automatically generating executable SQL. The key idea is to use a graph pattern matching algorithm that uses the metadata model of the data warehouse. Our results with real data from a global player in the financial services industry show that SODA produces queries with high precision and recall, and makes it much easier for business users to interactively explore highly-complex data warehouses.

Ablation Study on Deeplabv3+ for Semantic Segmentation
Creators: name: Lei, Bowen
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

Semantic segmentation is a fundamental task in computer vision that aims to classify every pixel in an image into different categories. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art results in semantic segmentation. Deeplabv3+ is a deep CNN-based model that uses atrous convolution and a decoder network to improve the accuracy of semantic segmentation. In this research, we conduct an ablation study on Deeplabv3+ to analyze the importance of its different components and their impact on the performance of the model, which provides valuable insights for developing more efficient and accurate semantic segmentation models. Our study encompasses a comprehensive examination of Deeplabv3+. We explore its constituent elements, including the backbone network, the Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) module, and the decoder network. Our investigation delves into the reasons underlying performance changes resulting from the removal of these architectural components. This analysis provides a deeper understanding of their intrinsic roles in shaping the model’s segmentation efficacy. Notably, we identify that the backbone exerts a substantial impact. Changes to other components yield relatively minor effects, while modifications to the backbone wield a remarkable influence. The Encoder-decoder structure also bears significant weight, playing a pivotal role in the upsampling process. This structure significantly impacts precision, enhancing boundary clarity and positional accuracy. Moreover, we recognize the vital role of feature integration. Features aid in establishing pixel position information, enhancing boundary definition, and positioning accuracy. Furthermore, the ASPP module emerges as a critical factor. ASPP leverages multi-scale information to differentiate complex object boundaries, further enriching the model’s semantic understanding.
A Composability-Based Transformer Pruning Framework
Creators: name: Lin, Yuping
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

This thesis addresses the crucial issue of deploying large Transformer models on resource-constrained edge devices. Given the slow training speeds, the current Transformer pruning and fine-tuning process becomes tedious and time-consuming for multiple pruning configurations. To remedy this, the research proposes a novel composability-based Transformer pruning framework, aiming to significantly reduce the time required for fine-tuning pruned models across various configurations, while maintaining model performance. Unlike traditional approaches, this study explores the composability between Transformer pruning configurations, unveiling opportunities for computational reuse. It leverages this composability within a newly proposed framework, employing techniques similar to knowledge distillation and automating the process of pruning and fine-tuning. The framework demonstrated its ability to speed up the response time needed to fine-tune a model based on the given pruning configuration, making it a practical tool for real-world deployment on edge devices. The outcome of this research is a novel method that opens up a fresh perspective on Transformer model compression, offering a reference for future studies on pruning and fine-tuning of Transformer networks.

description: Data warehouse store and provide access to large volume of historical data supporting the strategic decisions of organisations. Data warehouse is based on a multidimensional model which allow to express user's needs for supporting the decision making process. Since it is estimated that 80% of data used for decision making has a spatial or location component [1, 2], spatial data have been widely integrated in Data Warehouses and in OLAP systems. Extending a multidimensional data model by the inclusion of spatial data provides a concise and organised spatial datawarehouse representation. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of litterature on developed and suggested spatial and spatio-temporel multidimensional models. A benchmarking study of the proposed models is presented. Several evaluation criterias are used to identify the existence of trends as well as potential needs for further investigations.
Climate Change Attitudes of United States Family Forest Owners and their Influence on Forest Management Practices
Creators: name: Miller, Logan
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

Understanding family forest owners’ (FFOs’) attitudes and behaviors towards climate change will allow for more sustainable forest management practices to be implemented, helping to combat climate change and its impacts. The goals for this research are (1) to begin measuring U.S. FFO attitudes toward climate change, (2) to determine what factors impact these attitudes, and (3) to determine how they influence the FFO’s management practices using the Responsible Environmental Behavior (REB) framework (Hines et al. 1987). Chapter 1 explores the different facets of my thesis project focusing on forests and forests’ ecosystem services, forest ownership in the United States, and exploration of the REB model and serves as a more in-depth introduction section of Chapter 2. I explored past research of climate change attitude and beliefs and found age, political affiliation, education level and income of U.S. forest owners and foresters were significant factors in comparison to their climate change belief or attitude. Chapter 2 follows my research project, in which I measure the climate change attitudes of FFOs in Alabama, Oregon, and Wisconsin and their employment of climate centered forest management practices as well as the factors that influence these practices using mailed surveys. Based on the categories developed by Maibahc et al. (Maibach et al. 2009) to describe the general public’s attitudes towards climate change, I found about 16% of the FFOs in the study area were in the Alarmed segment, 16% in the Concerned, 37% in the Cautious, 2% in the Disengaged, 10% in the Doubtful, and 20% in the Dismissive. FFOs in Oregon and Wisconsin were more likely to be in a higher climate change attitude segment than those in Alabama. FFOs who had a college degree were more likely to be in a higher climate change attitude segment than those and a college degree. Climate change attitude was not a significant factor in determining if the FFO would carry out a climate centered management practice within the REB framework but rather the FFOs who indicated financial objectives were an important reason for owning their forest\land were more likely to carry out the listed management practices. These results indicate climate change belief is not necessary for an FFO to manage their land to mitigate or adapt to future climate impacts, but rather the individual objectives and values determine which management practices are utilized.

description: We present a quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) technique for calculating the exact finite-temperature properties of Bose-Fermi mixtures. The Bose-Fermi Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo (BF-AFQMC) algorithm combines two methods, a finite-temperature AFQMC algorithm for bosons and a variant of the standard AFQMC algorithm for fermions, into one algorithm for mixtures. We demonstrate the accuracy of our method by comparing its results for the Bose-Hubbard and Bose-Fermi-Hubbard models against those produced using exact diagonalization for small systems. Comparisons are also made with mean-field theory and the worm algorithm for larger systems. As is the case with most fermion Hamiltonians, a sign or phase problem is present in BF-AFQMC. We discuss the nature of these problems in this framework and describe how they can be controlled with well-studied approximations to expand BF-AFQMC's reach. The new algorithm can serve as an essential tool for answering many unresolved questions about many-body physics in mixed Bose-Fermi systems.

Proton Transfer in Phase IV of Solid Hydrogen and Deuterium

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: The recent discovery of phase IV of solid hydrogen and deuterium consisting of two alternate layers of graphenelike three-molecule rings and unbound H2 molecules have generated great interests. However, vibrational nature of phase IV remains poorly understood. Here, we report a peculiar proton transfer and a simultaneous rotation of three molecule rings in graphenelike layers predicted by ab initio variable cell molecular dynamics simulations for phase IV of solid hydrogen and deuterium at pressure ranges of from 250 to 350 GPa and temperature range of from 300 to 500 K. This proton transfer is intimately related to the particular elongation of molecules in graphenelike layers, and it becomes more pronounced with increasing pressure at the course of larger elongation of molecules. As the consequence of proton transfer, hydrogen molecules in graphenelike layers are short lived and hydrogen vibration is strongly anharmonic. Our findings provide direct explanations on the observed abrupt increase of Raman width at the formation of phase IV and its large increase with pressure.

description: We present an alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation of the formalism of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The basic difference is that the new interpretation is formulated in the language of epistemological realism. It involves a change in some basic physical concepts. Elementary particles are considered as extended objects and nonlocal effects are included. The role of the new concepts in the problem of measurement and of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations is described. Experiments to distinguish the proposed interpretation from the Copenhagen one are pointed out.

Tea Ceremony and Girls' Education from Edo to Meiji
Creators: name: Mizutani, Yuko
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

This study explores the development of women's tea ceremony from the Edo (1603-1868) to the Meiji period (1868-1912) onward, focusing on its connection to the "good wife, wise mother" ideology in the Meiji period. Many girls' schools, led by Atomi school, adopted the tea ceremony around the time of establishing the “good wife, wise mother.”
During the Edo period, the population of women practitioners increased significantly. This was not limited to just women from samurai families; it extended to commoners as well. The women’s tea ceremony during the Edo period was greatly influenced by Confucianism and its expectations for women. However, when the Meiji period (1868-1912) arrived, Westernization started to have a major impact. This led to a decline in Confucian education and Edo cultural practices, including the tea ceremony. During the mid-Meiji period, the tea ceremony was reevaluated and integrated into girls' education in response to the resistance against Westernization and the surge of nationalism. Alongside the expansion of girls' schools, the practice of the tea ceremony spread throughout the country.
Atomi Kakei, educated in Confucianism during the Edo period, is considered the first educator to have included women’s learnings of the Edo period, such as the tea ceremony, in the school curriculum from its inception. Nevertheless, the presence of inconsistencies in the remaining documents has raised doubts about the introduction of tea ceremony during the early Meiji period. Furthermore, in her autobiography, Oriori-gusa (1915), certain descriptions interweave the early and mid-Meiji periods, suggesting that she adjusted her actions and behaviors to align with the respective times.
This study highlights that the ideology of "good wife, wise mother" played a pivotal role in the spread of the women's tea ceremony. In addition, careful observation of the operation of the Atomi Kakei’s school reveals that the tea ceremony was modernized in a short period of time, in line with the changing policies of the Meiji government.

description: Oligomers are a significant group of migrating substances from food contact materials made of polyesters like polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Twenty-three cyclic and linear oligomers with different end groups including olefin-terminated oligomers, which are associated with thermal stress of the material, were tentatively identified in PBT extracts by high-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry and diode array detection. Quantification approaches based on chromophore concentration, relative response factors, and overall oligomer determination after hydrolysis to the monomer terephthalic acid were employed. An exhaustive extraction of thirteen PBT samples yielded an overall oligomer content of 1.87–6.10 mg/g material (sum of individual oligomers < 1,000 Da) with a predominant content of cyclic over linear oligomers. Migration experiments were performed according to Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 using the official food simulants as well as cows’ milk. A total of 218 µg cyclic oligomers/L milk were detected in the third migrate relevant for risk assessment of repeated-use articles under hot-fill conditions (70 °C, 2 h). The official food simulant for milk, 50% ethanol, was found to overestimate the actual migration into milk by a factor of four. Frying conditions using sunflower oil as the food simulant (200 °C, 10 min) resulted in a migration of 7.5 mg cyclic oligomers/kg oil. The exposure to migrating oligomers is critical in some scenarios when evaluated by the threshold of toxicological concern concept; however, the toxicological evaluation poses a challenge due to the possible hydrolysis of cyclic oligomers in the human gastrointestinal tract. Our experiments display the need for a toxicological evaluation of PBT oligomers because the migration of cyclic oligomers is expected to exceed the current in silico–based thresholds under foreseeable conditions of use.

Mining High Impact Combinations of Conditions from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey
Creators: name: Mohan, Arjun
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

The condition of multimorbidity — the presence of two or more medical conditions in an individual — is a growing phenomenon worldwide. In the United States, multimorbid patients represent more than a third of the population and the trend is steadily increasing in an already aging population. There is thus a pressing need to understand the patterns in which multimorbidity occurs, and to better understand the nature of the care that is required to be provided to such patients.
In this thesis, we use data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) from the years 2011 to 2015 to identify combinations of multiple chronic conditions (MCCs). We first quantify the significant heterogeneity observed in these combinations and how often they are observed across the five years. Next, using two criteria associated with each combination -- (a) the annual prevalence and (b) the annual median expenditure -- along with the concept of non-dominated Pareto fronts, we determine the degree of impact each combination has on the healthcare system. Our analysis reveals that combinations of four or more conditions are often mixtures of diseases that belong to different clinically meaningful groupings such as the metabolic disorders (diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia); musculoskeletal conditions (osteoarthritis, spondylosis, back problems etc.); respiratory disorders (asthma, COPD etc.); heart conditions (atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction); and mental health conditions (anxiety disorders, depression etc.).
Next, we use unsupervised learning techniques such as association rule mining and hierarchical clustering to visually explore the strength of the relationships/associations between different conditions and condition groupings. This interactive framework allows epidemiologists and clinicians (in particular primary care physicians) to have a systematic approach to understand the relationships between conditions and build a strategy with regards to screening, diagnosis and treatment over a longer term, especially for individuals at risk for more complications. The findings from this study aim to create a foundation for future work where a more holistic view of multimorbidity is possible.

description: More than eighty years ago, H. Bethe pointed out the existence of bound states of elementary spin waves in one-dimensional quantum magnets. To date, identifying signatures of such magnon bound states has remained a subject of intense theoretical research while their detection has proved challenging for experiments. Ultracold atoms offer an ideal setting to reveal such bound states by tracking the spin dynamics after a local quantum quench with single-spin and single-site resolution. Here we report on the direct observation of two-magnon bound states using in-situ correlation measurements in a one-dimensional Heisenberg spin chain realized with ultracold bosonic atoms in an optical lattice. We observe the quantum walk of free and bound magnon states through time-resolved measurements of the two spin impurities. The increased effective mass of the compound magnon state results in slower spin dynamics as compared to single magnon excitations. In our measurements, we also determine the decay time of bound magnons, which is most likely limited by scattering on thermal fluctuations in the system. Our results open a new pathway for studying fundamental properties of quantum magnets and, more generally, properties of interacting impurities in quantum many-body systems.

description: We discuss the design and expected performance of STRIP (STRatospheric Italian Polarimeter), an array of coherent receivers designed to fly on board the LSPE (Large Scale Polarization Explorer) balloon experiment. The STRIP focal plane array comprises 49 elements in Q band and 7 elements in W-band using cryogenic HEMT low noise amplifiers and high performance waveguide components. In operation, the array will be cooled to 20 K and placed in the focal plane of a $\sim 0.6$ meter telescope providing an angular resolution of $\sim1.5$ degrees. The LSPE experiment aims at large scale, high sensitivity measurements of CMB polarization, with multi-frequency deep measurements to optimize component separation. The STRIP Q-band channel is crucial to accurately measure and remove the synchrotron polarized component, while the W-band channel, together with a bolometric channel at the same frequency, provides a crucial cross-check for systematic effects.

Languages of Exile in the Poetry of Aria Aber and Solmaz Sharif
Creators: name: Mujumdar, Malavika
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

This thesis explores the intersections of war, motherhood, and language in the poetry of Aria Aber and Solmaz Sharif, focusing in particular on their debut poetry collections, Hard Damage and LOOK respectively, and the “America” poems by both poets, published online. Chapter One explores the differing portrayals of motherhood in Aber’s poems and Sharif’s poems, focusing particularly on Aber’s specificity in the image of the mother, focused on the speaker’s mother, and Sharif’s wider view of the mother. Chapter Two explores how each of them portray war through the similar formal structure—a list poem followed by a long documentary poem focused on the personal—in order to understand the lasting impacts of war. Chapter Three focuses on their “America” poems and how both poets understand belonging, and how they eventually find an impossible home in language.

description: We study dynamics of two coupled periodically driven oscillators. The internal motion is separated off exactly to yield a nonlinear fourth-order equation describing inner dynamics. Periodic steady-state solutions of the fourth-order equation are determined within the Krylov-Bogoliubov-Mitropolsky approach - we compute the amplitude profiles, which from mathematical point of view are algebraic curves. In the present paper we investigate metamorphoses of amplitude profiles induced by changes of control parameters near singular points of these curves. It follows that dynamics changes qualitatively in the neighbourhood of a singular point.
