description: A stable approach for integrating the impedance matrix in cylindrical, radial inhomogeneous structures is developed and studied. A Stroh-like system using the time-harmonic displacement-traction state vector is used to derive the Riccati matrix differential equation involving the impedance matrix. It is found that the resulting equation is stiff and leads to exponential instabilities. A stable scheme for integration is found in which a local expansion is performed by combining the matricant and impedance matrices. This method offers a stable solution for fully anisotropic materials, which was previously unavailable in the literature. Several approximation schemes for integrating the Riccati equation in cylindrical coordinates are considered: exponential, Magnus, Taylor series, Lagrange polynomials, with numerical examples indicating that the exponential scheme performs best. The impedance matrix is compared with solutions involving Buchwald potentials in which the material is limited to piecewise constant transverse isotropy. Lastly a scattering example is considered and compared with the literature.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This study investigates the enhancement of English reading skills among university students through the application of metacognitive strategies. Metacognition, or "thinking about thinking," involves awareness and control of one's cognitive processes during reading. The research highlights the significance of metacognitive strategies in improving reading comprehension, fostering independent learning, and promoting critical thinking. By integrating metacognitive instruction into reading curricula, educators can empower students to become more effective and autonomous readers. The findings suggest that explicit teaching of metacognitive strategies leads to significant improvements in students' reading performance.

description: This paper describes a general purpose Real Time Location System (RTLS), GRAIL, version 1.0. GRAIL provides real-time, adaptable, indoor localization for wireless devices. Because GRAIL’s focus is to localize as diverse a set of devices as possible, it utilizes a centralized, anchor based approach. GRAIL defines an abstract data model for various system components to support different physical modalities and various localization algorithms. We show through real deployments that GRAIL functions over a variety of physical modalities, networks, and algorithms. Further, we found that a centralized solution has critical advantages over distributed implementations for handling privacy concerns. A contribution of this system is its universal approach: it can integrate different hardware and software capabilities within a single localization framework. The deployment of such a system in academic and research environments allows researchers to explore issues beyond algorithms and investigate effects in real deployments.

Cobalt cubium

description: The cobalt cubium Co4O4(OAc)4(py)4(ClO4) (1A+) containing the mixed valence [Co4O4]5+ core is shown by multiple spectroscopic methods to react with hydroxide (OH-) but not with water molecules to produce O2. The yield of reaction products is stoichiometric (>99.5%): 4 1A+ + 4 OH- → O2 + 2 H2O + 4 1A. By contrast, the structurally homologous cubium Co4O4(trans-OAc)2(bpy)4(ClO4)3, 1B(ClO4)3 produces no O2. EPR/NMR spectroscopies show clean conversion to cubane 1A during O2 evolution with no Co2+ or Co3O4 side products. Mass spectrometry of the reaction between isotopically labeled µ-16O(bridging-oxo) 1A+ and 18O-bicarbonate/water shows: 1) no exchange of 18O into the bridging oxos of 1A+, and 2) 36O2 is the major product, thus requiring two OH- in the reactive intermediate. DFT calculations of solvated intermediates suggest that addition of two OH- to 1A+ via OH- insertion into Co-OAc bonds is energetically favored, followed by outer-sphere oxidation to intermediate [1A(OH)2]0. The absence of O2 production by cubium 1B3+ indicates the reactive intermediate derived from 1A+ requires gem-1,1-dihydoxo stereochemistry to perform O-O bond formation. Outer-sphere oxidation of this intermediate by 2 eq. 1A+ accounts for the final stoichiometry. Collectively, these results, and recent literature (Faraday Disc., doi:10.1039/C5FD00076A and J.Am.Chem.Soc 2015, 12865-12872) validate the [Co4O4]4+/5+ cubane core as an intrinsic catalyst for oxidation of hydroxide by an inner-sphere mechanism.

Nystrom's Interpolation Formula in the Solution Of Singular Integral Equations Discretized by the Gauss-Jacobi Quadrature
Creators: name: Gerasoulis, Apostolos
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1982

description: The numerical solution of Singular Integral Equations of Cauchytype at a discrete set of point's ti, is obtained through discretization of the original equation with the Gauss-Jacobi quadrature. The natural or Nystrom's interpolation formula is used to approximate the solution of the equation for points different than ti. Uniform convergence of the interpolation formula is shown for C1 functions. Finally, error bounds are derived and for smooth function it is shown that Nystrom's formula converges faster than Lagrange's interpolation polynomials.
Termination-Checking for LLVM Peephole Optimizations

Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 2015

description: Mainstream compilers contain a large number of peephole optimizations, which perform algebraic simplification of the input program with local rewriting of the code. These optimizations are a persistent source of bugs. Our recent research on Alive, a domainspecific language for expressing peephole optimizations in LLVM, addresses a part of the problem by automatically verifying the correctness of these optimizations and generating C++ code for use with LLVM. This paper identifies a class of non-termination bugs that arise when a suite of peephole optimizations is executed until a fixed point. An optimization can undo the effect of another optimization in the suite, which results in non-terminating compilation. This paper (1) proposes a methodology to detect non-termination bugs with a suite of peephole optimizations, (2) identifies the necessary condition to ensure termination while composing peephole optimizations, and (3) provides debugging support by generating concrete input programs that cause non-terminating compilation. We have discovered 184 optimization sequences, involving 38 optimizations, that cause non-terminating compilation in LLVM with Alive-generated C++ code.

description: An annotated photoplethysmogram (PPG) is required when evaluating PPG algorithms that have been developed to detect the onset and systolic peaks of PPG waveforms. However, few publicly accessible PPG datasets exist in which the onset and systolic peaks of the waveforms are annotated. Therefore, this study developed a MATLAB toolbox that stitches predetermined annotated PPGs in a random manner to generate a long, annotated PPG signal. With this toolbox, any combination of four annotated PPG templates that represent regular, irregular, fast rhythm, and noisy PPG waveforms can be stitched together to generate a long, annotated PPG. Furthermore, this toolbox can simulate real-life PPG signals by introducing different noise levels and PPG waveforms. The toolbox can implement two stitching methods: one based on the systolic peak and the other on the onset. Additionally, cubic spline interpolation is used to smooth the waveform around the stitching point, and a skewness index is used as a signal quality index to select the final signal output based on the stitching method used. The developed toolbox is free and open-source software, and a graphical user interface is provided. The method of synthesizing by stitching introduced in this paper is a data augmentation strategy that can help researchers significantly increase the size and diversity of annotated PPG signals available for training and testing different feature extraction algorithms.

description: Two late-nineteenth-century media technologies purportedly recording the evolutionary past —the fossil and the photograph—helped naturalize the spread of settler colonialism across the Northern Plains. Settler colonial biopower works in the spaces in-between life and death to dispossess indigenous peoples of their land in perpetuity, seizing prehistory simultaneously with the present and the future. I uncover how Oglala leader Red Cloud drew on indigenous epistemologies of both fossils and photographs to negotiate the nuances of temporal and material dispossession, particularly through his work as a photographic subject. Red Cloud’s interventions with paleontologists and photographers illuminate how new approaches to media history that question the biopolitical divide between the organic and inorganic could be important components of denaturalizing settler colonialism.

Gathercast: An efficient multi-point to point aggregation mechanism in IP networks

description: IP multicast is an efficient point to multipoint protocol. However, a number of scenarios exist where the reverse mechanism of multi-point to point protocol is needed. Gathercast is a mechanism by which packet flows from a large number of nodes can be gathered as the packets are routed towards the gatherer. Gathercast uses transformer tunnels [1] at routers to provide a mechanism for aggregating packets directed towards a node. Increased goodput for applications that need flow aggregation can be obtained by using any of a number of transformation functions such as recombination of small packets, compressing data, rate control, replication removal, and so on, along with a distribution tree. Gathercast works well in conjunction with the current IP multicast model. Simulations results for gathercast show that using aggregators along a gather tree improves the network utilization.

description: The Ancient Thessalians (Thessaloi/Thettaloi/Petthaloi) refer to the inhabitants of Thessaly, whose dominant population belonged to the spectrum of Greek identity. Strictly speaking, "Thessaly" refers to the tetradic Thessalian plains and "Thessalian" refers to the dominant population. Broadly speaking, Thessaly can include the inhabitants of the surrounding regions (the perioikoi), which could include Achaia Phthiotis, Perrhaibia, Magnesia, Malis, Ainis, Oitaia, Dolopia, and Athamania (in different time periods). In addition to the dominant populations of the plains and the perioikoi, Ancient Thessaly could be used to include its serf populations (penestai), its slaves, pastoral nomads, and foreign inhabitants.

description: Medical marijuana is now available in 23 states, and its growing acceptance has paved the way for the legalization of recreational marijuana. This article examines four recent campaigns to legalize recreational marijuana–two failures and two successes. Using data from newspaper sources, interviews with key players, and some other sources, we examine the factors that influence whether a ballot initiative succeeds or fails. We identify similarities and differences between the four measures, the social forces shaping the debate, their claims and counterclaims, and a set of factors that appear to increase the odds that a recreational marijuana ballot measure will be successful.
Spectral investigation of solar energy absorption and light transmittance in a water-filled prismatic glass louver

description: Water-filled prismatic glass louver was proposed to save energy consumptions in buildings because such innovative louvers can harvest solar energy as well as improve daylighting quality rather than “block” sunlight like traditional louvers. To enable this technology the effectiveness of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) energy harvest and visible (VIS) light transmittance was investigated via Monte Carlo simulations in this case study. The 7-band spectral model for glass and water was evaluated and adopted for several cases of solar spectra of different air mass (AM) coefficients with both direct and diffuse irradiation. Absorption and transmittance in different band regimes as well as in water and glass respectively were differentiated and compared. Practical solar data in Phoenix, Flagstaff, and Golden were utilized to demonstrate the performance of the proposed louver under different locations and realistic conditions. Results show that the device facing normally to direct sunlight can harvest around 51-54% of the total solar energy and transmit 74-76% VIS for daylighting in the range of AM1 to AM3. In particular for AM1.5, VIS transmittance reaches 76% for both direct and diffuse irradiation; UV absorption achieves 80% and 85% and IR absorption reaches 64% and 82% for diffuse and collimated irradiation, respectively. In all the three places tested, the device absorbs about 81% IR and 87% UV, and transmits about 76% VIS.

Quantitative error analysis of numerical methods for partial differential equations

name: Steen, J.A.
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1974

description: The classical theory of numerical methods for partial differential equations is concerned to a large extent with problems of consistency, stability and convergence of algorithms. While these aspects of the theory are useful in establishing the validity of difference approximations, they fail to provide quantitative measures of errors which may be used in practice to characterize the effect of truncation. Nor do they provide relevant criteria whereby a specified accuracy requirement in a numerical solution may be converted into the choice of algorithms and/or the choice of grid sizes. When one attempts to develop such criteria, one readily finds out that they are very much dependent upon the initial and boundary conditions of the problem: by contrast, the classical properties of consistency, stability and convergence depend upon those initial/boundary conditions in a much weaker sense. It also becomes readily apparent that something other than the conventional tools must be used to perform such quantative error analyses. One approach to this problem, which has proved to be useful in several case studies, is outlined in the remainder of this paper.

description: Many conservation strategies identify a narrow subset of genotypes, species, or geographic locations that are predicted to be favored under different scenarios of future climate change. However, a focus on predicted winners, which might not prove to be correct, risks undervaluing the balance of biological diversity from which climate-change winners could otherwise emerge. Drawing on ecology, evolutionary biology, and portfolio theory, we propose a conservation approach designed to promote adaptation that is less dependent on uncertain predictions about the identity of winners and losers. By designing actions to facilitate numerous opportunities for selection across biological and environmental conditions, we can allow nature to pick the winners and increase the probability that ecosystems continue to provide services to humans and other species.

description: We study one-dimensional spinless fermions at zero and finite temperature T using the density matrix renormalization group. We consider nearest as well as next-nearest neighbor interactions; the latter render the system inaccessible by a Bethe ansatz treatment. Using an infinite-system alogrithm we demonstrate the emergence of Luttinger liquid physics at low energies for a variety of static correlation functions as well as for thermodynamic properties. The characteristic power law suppression of the momentum distribution n(k) function at T=0 can be directly observed over several orders of magnitude. At finite temperature, we show that n(k) obeys a scaling relation. The Luttinger liquid parameter and the renormalized Fermi velocity can be extracted from the density response function, the specific heat, and/or the susceptibility without the need to carry out any finite-size analysis. We illustrate that the energy scale below which Luttinger liquid power laws manifest vanishes as the half-filled system is driven into a gapped phase by large interactions.

description: When hysterectomy is performed for chronic pelvic pain, routine pathology examination often provides no explanation. However, analysis of small uterine nerves using immunostains may help to address this deficiency. Small uterine nerves tend to be sparse or absent in wide areas of normal myometrium. Some studies of uterine nerves have suggested that endometriosis, adenomyosis, and fibroids are not inherently painful, with increased small nerves in the inner uterine wall associated with the history of pelvic pain. Although such areas may appear normal on Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), we have found a subtle inner wall lesion termed inner myometrial elastosis, best detected with trichrome or elastic stains, which may be a reaction to microscopic tears of inner myometrium. Such tears may induce increased inner wall innervation via the generation of Nerve Growth Factor in granulation tissue. In the course of studying uterine nerves with immunostains, we found 5 cases with florid nerve proliferation, after deep endometrial ablation for abnormal uterine bleeding led to increased pelvic pain. We suggest that immunostains for postablation neuromas should be done in hysterectomies when pelvic pain increases after endometrial ablation. This may offer gynecologists and their patients an objective finding with a rational, scientific explanation for the pelvic pain.

description: This paper reports on the design and implementation of Chianti, a change impact analysis tool for Java that is implemented in the context of the Eclipse environment. Chianti analyzes two versions of an application and decomposes their difference into a set of atomic changes. Change impact is reported in terms of affected tests whose execution behavior may have been modified by the applied changes. For each affected test, Chianti also determines a set of affecting changes that were responsible for the test’s modified behavior. We evaluated Chianti on 6 months of data from M. Ernst’s Daikon system, and found that, on average, 62.4% of the tests is affected. Furthermore, each affected test, on average, is affected by only 5.6% of the atomic changes. These findings suggest that change impact analysis is a promising technique for assisting developers with program understanding and debugging.

description: We first show the existence and nature of convergence to a limiting set of roots for polynomials in a three-term recurrence of the form $p_{n+1}(z) = Q_k(z)p_{n}(z)+ γp_{n-1}(z)$ as $n$ $\rightarrow$ $\infty$, where the coefficient $Q_k(z)$ is a $k^{th}$ degree polynomial, and $z,γ\in \mathbb{C}$. We extend these results to relations for numerically approximating roots of such polynomials for any given $n$. General solutions for the evaluation are motivated by large computational efforts and errors in the iterative numerical methods. Later, we apply this solution to the eigenvalue problems represented by tridiagonal matrices with a periodicity $k$ in its entries, providing a more accurate numerical method for evaluation of spectra of chains and a reduction in computational effort from $\mathcal{O}(n^2)$ to $\mathcal{O}(n)$. We also show that these results along with the spectral rules of Kronecker products allow an efficient and accurate evaluation of spectra of many spatial lattices and other periodic graphs.

description: Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a number field $K$. If for almost all primes of $K$, the reduction of $E$ modulo that prime has rational cyclic isogeny of fixed degree, we can ask if this forces $E$ to have a cyclic isogeny of that degree over $K$. Building upon the work of Sutherland, Anni, and Banwait-Cremona in the case of prime degree, we consider this question for cyclic isogenies of arbitrary degree.

description: Tryptamine is an alkaloid compound with demonstrated bioactivities and is also a precursor molecule to many important hormones and neurotransmitters. The high efficiency biosynthesis of tryptamine from inexpensive and renewable carbon substrates is of great research and application significance. In the present study, a tryptamine biosynthesis pathway was established in a metabolically engineered E. coli-E. coli co-culture. The upstream and downstream strains of the co-culture were dedicated to tryptophan provision and conversion totryptamine, respectively. The constructed co-culture was cultivated using either glucose or glycerol as carbon source for de novo production of tryptamine.The manipulation of the co-culture strains’ inoculation ratio was adapted to balance the biosynthetic strengths of the pathway modules for bioproduction optimization. Moreover, a biosensor-assisted cell selection strategy was adapted to improve the pathway intermediate tryptophan provision by the upstream strain, which further enhanced the tryptamine biosynthesis. The resulting biosensor-assisted modular co-culture produced 194mg/L tryptamine with a yield of 0.02 g/g glucose using shake flask cultivation.The findings of this work demonstrate that the biosensor-assisted modular co-culture engineering offers a new perspective for conducting microbial biosynthesis.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with direct and modest bandgap and ultrahigh carrier mobility are highly desired functional materials for nanoelectronic applications. Herein, we predict that monolayer CaP3 is a new 2D functional material that possesses not only a direct bandgap of 1.15 eV (based on HSE06 computation), and also a very high electron mobility up to 19930 cm2 V-1 s-1, comparable to that of monolayer phosphorene. More remarkably, contrary to the bilayer phosphorene which possesses dramatically reduced carrier mobility compared to its monolayer counterpart, CaP3 bilayer possesses even higher electron mobility (22380 cm2 V-1 s-1) than its monolayer counterpart. The bandgap of 2D CaP3 can be tuned over a wide range from 1.15 to 0.37 eV (HSE06 values) through controlling the number of stacked CaP3 layers. Besides novel electronic properties, 2D CaP3 also exhibits optical absorption over the entire visible-light range. The combined novel electronic, charge mobility, and optical properties render 2D CaP3 an exciting functional material for future nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications.

description: With the discovery of a doubly charmed $Ξ_{cc}$ baryon a somewhat forgotten issue of tetraquarks containing two heavy and two light (anti) quarks, ${\cal T}_{QQ}$, triggered theorist's interest. We discuss quark model estimates of ${\cal T}_{QQ}$ masses and such objects including a model where the light sector is treated as a soliton. We show that this model has different large $N_c$ limit than other approaches.

Graded persistence diagrams and persistence landscapes

description: We introduce a refinement of the persistence diagram, the graded persistence diagram. It is the Mobius inversion of the graded rank function, which is obtained from the rank function using the unary numeral system. Both persistence diagrams and graded persistence diagrams are integer-valued functions on the Cartesian plane. Whereas the persistence diagram takes non-negative values, the graded persistence diagram takes values of 0, 1, or -1. The sum of the graded persistence diagrams is the persistence diagram. We show that the positive and negative points in the k-th graded persistence diagram correspond to the local maxima and minima, respectively, of the k-th persistence landscape. We prove a stability theorem for graded persistence diagrams: the 1-Wasserstein distance between k-th graded persistence diagrams is bounded by twice the 1-Wasserstein distance between the corresponding persistence diagrams, and this bound is attained. In the other direction, the 1-Wasserstein distance is a lower bound for the sum of the 1-Wasserstein distances between the k-th graded persistence diagrams. In fact, the 1-Wasserstein distance for graded persistence diagrams is more discriminative than the 1-Wasserstein distance for the corresponding persistence diagrams.

description: We develop some aspects of the homological algebra of persistence modules, in both the one-parameter and multi-parameter settings, considered as either sheaves or graded modules. The two theories are different. We consider the graded module and sheaf tensor product and Hom bifunctors as well as their derived functors, Tor and Ext, and give explicit computations for interval modules. We give a classification of injective, projective, and flat interval modules. We state Kunneth theorems and universal coefficient theorems for the homology and cohomology of chain complexes of persistence modules in both the sheaf and graded modules settings and show how these theorems can be applied to persistence modules arising from filtered cell complexes. We also give a Gabriel-Popescu theorem for persistence modules. Finally, we examine categories enriched over persistence modules. We show that the graded module point of view produces a closed symmetric monoidal category that is enriched over itself.

Scaling properties of direct photon yields in heavy ion collisions

description: A recent analysis from the PHENIX collaboration of available direct photon measurement results in collisions of various systems such as Au+Au, Cu+Cu, and Pb+Pb, at different beam energies ranging from 39 to 2760 GeV, has shown a universal, within experimental uncertainties, $multiplicity$ scaling, in which direct photon $p_{T}$-spectra for transverse momenta up to 2 GeV/$c$ are scaled with charged hadron pseudorapidity density at midrapidity raised to power $α=1.25$. On the other hand, those direct photon $p_{T}$-spectra also exhibit $geometrical$ scaling in the similar $p_{T}$ range. Assuming power-law dependence of the scaled photon spectra for both scaling laws, we formulate two independent conditions for the power $α$, which overshoot experimental data by $\sim 10\%$ on average. We discuss possible sources that might improve this estimate.

Third order open mapping theorems and applications to the end-point map

description: This paper is devoted to a third order study of the end-point map in sub-Riemannian geometry. We first prove third order open mapping results for maps from a Banach space into a finite dimensional manifold. In a second step, we compute the third order term in the Taylor expansion of the end-point map and we specialize the abstract theory to the study of length-minimality of sub-Riemannian strictly singular curves. We conclude with the third order analysis of a specific strictly singular extremal that is not length-minimizing.
Queering the Trans: Gender and sexuality binaries in Icelandic Trans, Queer, and Feminist communities

description: Activists in feminist, queer, and trans movements share in common a critique of the existing gender order. Yet activists may have different understandings of what is wrong with existing gender arrangements, and different understandings of what might be required to establish greater social equality. Using data from interviews with activists in the feminist, queer, and trans movements in Iceland, this paper looks at the ways that gender equality and the gender binary is understood by individuals who identify with feminist, queer, and/or trans activism, and some of their shared and conflicting critiques of the existing gender order.

description: Today, debugging failed software upgrades is a long and tedious activity, as developers may have to consider large sections of code to locate the bug. We argue that failed upgrade debugging can be simplified by exploiting the characteristics of upgrade problems to prioritize the set of routines to consider. In particular, previous work has shown that differences between the computing environment in the developer’s and users’ sites cause most upgrade problems. Based on this observation, we design and implement Sahara, a system that identifies the aspects of the environment that are most likely the culprits of the misbehavior, finds the subset of routines that relate directly or indirectly to those aspects, and selects an even smaller subset of routines to debug first. To achieve its goals, Sahara leverages feedback from a large number of user sites, machine learning, and static and dynamic source analyses. We evaluate Sahara for three real upgrade problems with the OpenSSH suite, one synthetic problem with the SQLite database, and one synthetic problem with the uServer Web server. Our results show that the system produces accurate recommendations comprising only a small number of routines.

description: On June 10 and 11, 2021, the University of British Columbia hosted a two-day National Forum on Anti-Asian Racism in Canada. Recordings of the event were made available on YouTube and the transcripts for Day 1 (English and French) and Day 2 (English) are available via cIRcle, UBC's open access repository. Forum participants included community organizers, scholars, and public intellectuals, along with key figures in government, health care, media, journalism, the private and the not-for-profit sectors convened frank discussions about anti-Asian racism in our country with the aim of articulating how we can work together on bold and concrete recommendations for action. The forum also discussed the results of new Angus Reid Institute polling data (in partnership with UBC) which reveals unique insights into anti-Asian racism in Canada and the experiences of racism in the Asian community. This event was made possible through the generous support of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation.

description: We study the time dependent Schrödinger equation for large spinless fermions with the semiclassical scale $\hbar = N^{-1/3}$ in three dimensions. By using the Husimi measure defined by coherent states, we rewrite the Schrödinger equation into a BBGKY type of hierarchy for the k particle Husimi measure. Further estimates are derived to obtain the weak compactness of the Husimi measure, and in addition uniform estimates for the remainder terms in the hierarchy are derived in order to show that in the semiclassical regime the weak limit of the Husimi measure is exactly the solution of the Vlasov equation.
