description: While the effect of missing audiences has been studied numerously in team sports with diverse effects, studies on individual performances are rare. The current investigation analyzes performances of professional dart players in (a) the absence of spectators, (b) the presence of real crowds, and (c) artificial crowd noise (simulated crowds) substituting live spectators during the COVID-19 pandemic. Empirical evidence suggests that performances in coordination-based accuracy tasks are negatively impacted by the presence of others. Therefore, we hypothesize that performance of elite darts players deteriorates in the presence of a real audience (RA) in comparison to no audience (NA) and simulated audience (SA). https://dartsorakel.com provided the data of professional tournaments played from 2018 to 2021, which included N = 26,724 individual performances from k = 442 players (98.8% male). How RA and SA impacted checkout percentage (CP) and three-dart average (3DA) was analyzed using separate multilevel models, adding various control variables. Competing with audiences (SA and RA) resulted in decreased CP with an effect of βstand_real = − .20, p < .001, and βstand_sim = − .14, p < .001. 3DA increased with SA, βstand_sim = .08, p < .001, and decreased with RA, βstand_sim = − .07, p < .001. The results show that real crowds appear to have a negative impact on darts performance, yet effect sizes are small.

description: Three-quarters of primate species are seeing habitat-related population declines, and nearly half of tropical forest area is in fragmented landscape. Previous research revealed challenges for mantled howler monkeys in rainforest fragments, including local extirpations. This study sought to deepen understanding of mantled howler monkey ecology in fragments by comparing food resource use and availability in edge and core zones. Mantled howler monkeys were observed at the La Suerte Biological Field Station in Costa Rica from May to August 2017 using a focal animal point sampling method incorporating food resource identifications. Habitat quality was assessed through vegetation survey plots investigating species richness, tree density, tree maturity, and canopy connectivity in edge and core zones. Time spent feeding and characteristics of feeding trees did not significantly vary in edge and core, however, forest density and canopy connectivity differences in edge and core were observed.

description: We study the effects of pressure anisotropy and heat dissipation in a spherically symmetric radiating star undergoing gravitational collapse. An exact solution of the Einstein field equations is presented in which the model has a Friedmann-like limit when the heat flux vanishes. The behaviour of the temperature profile of the evolving star is investigated within the framework of causal thermodynamics. In particular, we show that there are significant differences between the relaxation time for the heat flux and the relaxation time for the shear stress.

description: This paper presents an approach to posterior simulation and model comparison for generalized linear models with multiple random effects. Alternative MCMC approaches for posterior simulation and alternative parameterizations are considered and compared in the context of panel data and multiple random effects. A straightforward approach for the calculation of Bayes factors from the MCMC output is developed. This approach relies on the computation of the marginal likelihood of each contending model. Estimation of modal estimates based on Monte Carlo versions of the E-M algorithm is also discussed. The methods are illustrated with several real data applications involving count data and the Poisson link function.
RNA-SEQ-BASED TRANSCRIPTOME ANALYSIS OF METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS EXPOSED TO LOW-DOSE AMOXICILLIN
Creators: name: Boudhraa, William
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Previous studies have shown that low-dose amoxicillin, a cell wall-active β-lactam antibiotic, induces biofilm formation in strains of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. We conducted an RNA-Seq based study to examine the effects of low-dose antibiotics on the gene expression of MRSA with the goal of identifying genes involved in biofilm formation, antibiotic resistance, and the cell wall stress stimulon. We found a number of genes were significantly upregulated or downregulated, many of which have been previously identified to change in expression in response to various antibiotics or be involved in biofilm or cell wall stress. Of particular interest were a hexose-phosphate antiporter gene uhpT which increased in expression 12-fold and phenol-soluble modulin genes psmβ1 and psmβ2 which were downregulated 4.0 and 7.1-fold respectively. Our results highlight a number of genes that warrant further investigation to fully understand their role in antibiotic resistance and the cellular response of MRSA to cell wall-active antibiotics.

description: In this note we give sharp estimates on the volume of the set of separable states on N qubits. In particular, the magnitude of the "effective radius" of that set in the sense of volume is determined up to a factor which is a (small) power of N, and thus precisely on the scale of powers of its dimension. Additionally, one of the appendices contains sharp estimates (by known methods) for the expected values of norms of the GUE random matrices. We employ standard tools of classical convexity, high-dimensional probability and geometry of Banach spaces.

description: Ringdown gravitational waves of compact binary mergers are an important target to test general relativity. The main components of the ringdown waveform after merger are black hole quasinormal modes. In general relativity, all multipolar quasinormal modes of a black hole should give the same values of black hole parameters. Although the observed binary black hole events so far are not significant enough to perform the test with ringdown gravitational waves, it is expected that the test will be achieved in third generation detectors. The Japanese gravitational wave detector KAGRA, called bKAGRA for the current configuration, has started observation, and discussions for the future upgrade plans have also started. In this study, we consider which KAGRA upgrade plan is the best to detect the subdominant quasinormal modes of black holes in the aim of testing general relativity. We use a numerical relativity waveform as injected signals that contains two multipolar modes and analyze each mode by matched filtering. Our results suggest that the plan FDSQZ, which improves the sensitivity of KAGRA for broad frequency range, is the most suitable configuration for black hole spectroscopy.

description: We show that the physical system consisting of trapped ions interacting with lasers may undergo a rich variety of quantum phase transitions. By changing the laser intensities and polarizations the dynamics of the internal states of the ions can be controlled, in such a way that an Ising or Heisenberg-like interaction is induced between effective spins. Our scheme allows us to build an analogue quantum simulator of spin systems with trapped ions, and observe and analyze quantum phase transitions with unprecedent opportunities for the measurement and manipulation of spins.

Electromagnetic scattering by homogeneous, isotropic, dielectric-magnetic sphere with topologically insulating surface states

description: The Lorenz--Mie formulation of electromagnetic scattering by a homogeneous, isotropic, dielectric-magnetic sphere was extended to incorporate topologically insulating surface states characterized by a surface admittance $γ$. Closed-form expressions were derived for the expansion coefficients of the scattered field phasors in terms of those of the incident field phasors. These expansion coefficients were used to obtain analytical expressions for the total scattering, extinction, forward scattering, and backscattering efficiencies of the sphere. Resonances exist for relatively low values of $γ$, when the sphere is either nondissipative or weakly dissipative. For large values of $γ$, the scattering characteristics are close to that of a perfect electrically conducting sphere, regardless of whether the sphere is composed of a dissipative or nondissipative material, and regardless of whether that material supports planewave propagation with positive or negative phase velocity.

description: Computing shortest path distances between nodes lies at the heart of many graph algorithms and applications. Traditional exact methods such as breadth-first-search (BFS) do not scale up to contemporary, rapidly evolving today's massive networks. Therefore, it is required to find approximation methods to enable scalable graph processing with a significant speedup. In this paper, we utilize vector embeddings learnt by deep learning techniques to approximate the shortest paths distances in large graphs. We show that a feedforward neural network fed with embeddings can approximate distances with relatively low distortion error. The suggested method is evaluated on the Facebook, BlogCatalog, Youtube and Flickr social networks.
An American in Greenland: Turn-of-the-Century Arctic Visions by Frank Wilbert Stokes
Creators: name: Fitch, Hannah
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Frank Wilbert Stokes (1858-1955) was an academically trained American artist living and working during the turn of the twentieth century. He studied with Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and with Jean-Léon Gérôme at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he subsequently stayed and exhibited for nearly ten years. However, he is perhaps best known for the work he did as an independent artist-member of two expeditions to Northern Greenland in 1892 and 1893-94 with famed explorer Robert Peary. Considering that scientific and political campaigns funded these expeditions to survey the Arctic regions and collect ethnographic material, Stokes’s artistic autonomy is significant. Indeed, while attending Peary’s expeditions, Stokes became one of the most prolific artists of the Arctic, producing images of the local Inuit as well as depictions of the vibrant landscape. This thesis serves as the first comprehensive art historical analysis of his Arctic production, which offers new perspectives on the field of expedition art. In addition to his numerous plein air landscape paintings, Stokes created distinctive portrait drawings of native Inuit and larger genre scenes. By investigating these works separately in designated chapters, it shows Stokes’s investment as an emerging artist in response to the dominant interests in landscape and portraiture at the end of the nineteenth century. While his colorful landscape paintings reflect and represent his spiritual connection to nature, his portrait studies emphasize his attention to individual character and detail. My thesis asserts that these subjects allowed Stokes to negotiate, either explicitly or implicitly, mainstream American society’s ambivalence towards modernity at the turn of the century. Furthermore, while much recent scholarship has explored intersections between nineteenth-century art and science, considering Stokes’s Arctic oeuvre in comparison to Peary’s accounts of Greenland illuminates the disparate demands placed on artist and scientist at this time. Stokes’s artistic independence allowed him to view the Inuit and their culture with a greater degree of respect than did Peary; yet, at the same time, he posited Greenland and its people as a space apart from the modern world. Therefore, in its entirety, Stokes’s Arctic oeuvre reveals his personal and professional commitment towards envisioning a “primitive” ideal in reaction to socio-political changes in America at the end of the nineteenth century.

description: Feldstein (1996) added the present value of future Social Security benefits (SSW) to the lifecycle consumption function and found that Social Security reduced private saving in 1992 by more than half. I show that this finding is significant, with a standard error ranging from 35% to 65% of actual savings in 1992. The large reduction in savings also holds when the (rejected) restrictions implied by disposable income are relaxed. But this reduction is neither robust nor significant if the sample excludes either the 1930s or the data subsequent to the 1972 legislated changes in Social Security, or if income is GNP instead of NNP.

description: Electron capture and emission by Coulomb scattering in self-assembled quantum dot (QD) devices is studied theoretically. While the dependence of the Coulomb scattering (Auger) rates on the local wetting layer electron density has been a topic of intense research, we put special interest on the remote scattering between QD electrons and continuum electrons originating from a quantum well, doped bulk layers or metal contacts. Numerical effort is made to include all microscopic transitions between the Fermi distributed continuum states. The remote Coulomb scattering is investigated as a function of the electron density, the distance from the QDs and the temperature. Our results are compared with experimental observations, considering lifetime limitations in QD memory structures as well as the electron emission in pn-diodes.

description: This project considers three landmark art exhibitions that, each in their own way, aimed to make visible different aspects of queer identity: “The Perfect Moment” (1988), “In a Different Light” (1995) and “Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture” (2010). My goal is to analyze how these exhibitions, which spanned three decades, informed and helped to constitute the emerging discipline of queer museology. My analysis highlights, on the one hand, the means through which each of these shows successfully undermined the implicit heteronormativity of museum spaces; on the other, I show that these exhibits also failed in some regards to challenge the white, straight, masculinist systems of privilege that underpin mainstream art venues. Taken together, these examples demonstrate that queer museology is itself a fluid, complex concept. The process of curating queer exhibitions has changed dramatically from the 1980s to the 2010s, a period of shifting ideas about museums and their relationship to the public as well as concepts of queer identity. Queer museology is also dependent upon multiple factors, including individual decisions about curatorship and broader socio-historical, political, and art-institutional contexts. However, the fact that certain issues raised in the exhibitions under scrutiny in this thesis—such as spectatorial and display concepts that facilitate LGBTQ or queer visibility—continue to be of primary concern to curators and artists indicates that they provided important models for “queering” institutional spaces of art.

description: At the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany, fast-cycled superferric magnets will be utilised for ion optics in the main accelerator SIS100. After an intense testing campaign, the full series of dipole magnets has been equipped with cryogenic beam vacuum chambers and is ready for tunnel installation. Currently ongoing is the procurement of the quadrupole and corrector magnets. By design, each main quadrupole is combined with at least one corrector magnet to form a so-called quadrupole unit. Two of such units are then, together with further functional elements, integrated into a common cryostat to form quadrupole doublet modules. Details on the processes of production, integration, and testing as well as an update of the progress will be presented. Moreover, to sample the installation processes of SIS100, study collective effects in an module ensemble and gain experience in operation, several magnet modules and components are currently aligned at a test facility to model a cell of SIS100. An overview of this so-called String Test setup, its commissioning and first test results will be included in the presentation.

description: This text is devoted to simultaneous approximation to $ξ$ and $ξ^2$ by rational numbers with the same denominator, where $ξ$ is a non-quadratic real number. We focus on an exponent $β_0(ξ)$ that measures the quality of such approximations (when they are exceptionally good). We prove that $β_0$ takes the same set of values as a combinatorial quantity that measures the abundance of palindrome prefixes in an infinite word $w$. This allows us to give a precise exposition of Roy's palindrome prefix method. The main tools we use are Davenport-Schmidt's sequence of minimal points and Roy's bracket operation.

DISPLAYING DIFFERENCE:QUEER EXHIBITION PRACTICE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1988-2011
Creators: name: Proctor, Victoria

description: This project considers three landmark art exhibitions that, each in their own way, aimed to make visible different aspects of queer identity: “The Perfect Moment” (1988), “In a Different Light” (1995) and “Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture” (2010). My goal is to analyze how these exhibitions, which spanned three decades, informed and helped to constitute the emerging discipline of queer museology. My analysis highlights, on the one hand, the means through which each of these shows successfully undermined the implicit heteronormativity of museum spaces; on the other, I show that these exhibits also failed in some regards to challenge the white, straight, masculinist systems of privilege that underpin mainstream art venues. Taken together, these examples demonstrate that queer museology is itself a fluid, complex concept. The process of curating queer exhibitions has changed dramatically from the 1980s to the 2010s, a period of shifting ideas about museums and their relationship to the public as well as concepts of queer identity. Queer museology is also dependent upon multiple factors, including individual decisions about curatorship and broader socio-historical, political, and art-institutional contexts. However, the fact that certain issues raised in the exhibitions under scrutiny in this thesis—such as spectatorial and display concepts that facilitate LGBTQ or queer visibility—continue to be of primary concern to curators and artists indicates that they provided important models for “queering” institutional spaces of art.

DANTE AND DOCTRINAL DEBATES: NARDO DI CIONE’S INFERNO FRESCO IN THE SANTA MARIA NOVELLA CHURCH
Creators: name: Rhodes, Samantha
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: My thesis argues that Nardo di Cione’s 1354-57 Inferno fresco, located on the North Wall of the Strozzi Chapel in Santa Maria Novella in Florence, visualized doctrinal debates that persisted throughout the late Medieval Period and beyond. Though the fresco’s adherence to the poet Dante’s Inferno has been well studied, the significant iconographical deviations from the literary text have received little scrutiny. It is argued here, with a consideration of pertinent Patristic and Thomistic texts, that the deviations made by Nardo reflect ongoing theological debates about the afterlife that were current in Florence in the period. In particular, it is suggested that the treatment of limbo, which can be understood to function simultaneously as a representation of purgatory, evokes questions of its very existence because of the ambiguous nature of the doctrine surrounding both locations. It is concluded that the fresco displays an engagement with doctrinal debates on the afterlife that would eventually reach a crisis point more than two centuries later during the Protestant Reformation.

Outflow structure and reconnection rate of the self-similar evolution model of fast magnetic reconnection

description: In order to understand the nature of magnetic reconnection in ``free space'' which is free from any influence of external circumstances, I have studied the structure of spontaneous reconnection outflow using a shock tube approximation. The reconnection system of this case continues to expand self-similarly. This work aims 1) to solve the structure of reconnection outflow and 2) to clarify the determination mechanism of reconnection rate of the ``self-similar evolution model'' of fast reconnection. Many cases of reconnection in astrophysical phenomena are characterized by a huge dynamic range of expansion in size ($\sim 10^7$ for typical solar flares). Although such reconnection is intrinsically time dependent, a specialized model underlying the situation has not been established yet. The theoretical contribution of this paper is in obtaining a solution for outflow structure which is absent in our previous papers proposing the above new model. The outflow has a shock tube-like structure, i.e., forward slow shock, reverse fast shock and contact discontinuity between them. By solving the structure in a sufficiently wide range of plasma-$β$: $0.001 \leq β\leq 100$, we obtain an almost constant reconnection rate ($\sim 0.05$: this value is the maximum for spontaneous reconnection and is consistent with previous models) and a boundary value along the edge of the outflow (good agreement with our simulation result) which is important to solve the inflow region. Note that everything, including the reconnection rate, is spontaneously determined by the reconnection system itself in our model.

description: In a cluster-randomized trial, two treatment arms promoted activity-based instruction by providing teaching materials and teacher training. One of these arms also promoted community engagement through community-led student contests. A third arm remained untreated. After 13 months, the version without contests improved teaching quality and learning among girls. Both versions improved student attitudes towards math. Yet, the addition of contests—which are intended to put pressure on teachers to increase their students’ performance—worsened instructional quality (especially classroom culture), and we can rule out that the contests added even small improvements in learning.

description: In this article, we calculate the magnon spectrum of Kitaev-Heisenberg magnets. This model has been recently proposed as a spin Hamiltonian to model $\text{CrI}_3$ and other two-dimensional magnets. It is a minimal spin Hamiltonian that includes a contribution stemming from a Heisenberg, isotropic exchange, and a contribution arising from a Kitaev interaction, anisotropic and frustrated exchange. Our calculations reveal the topological nature of the magnons and a gap that opens at the $K$ and $K^\prime$ points. These topological properties give rise to effects such as thermal Hall effect. In addition to the bulk properties, we calculate the magnon spectrum of nanoribbons illustrating the corresponding edge states.

description: We derive the Feynman rules of the standard model in the axial gauge. After this we prove that the fields $ϕ_W$ and $ϕ_Z$ do not correspond to physical particles. As a consequence, these fields cannot appear as incoming or outgoing lines in Feynman graphs. We then calculate the contribution of these fields in the case of a particular decay mode of the top quark.
