title: Navy Sonar, Cetaceans, and the Supreme Court: Fairfax County Public Attitudes and Potential Ramifications
Creators: name: Zirbel, Kylie E.

subject: Supreme Court
subject: Public attitudes

description: Ocean noise is particularly problematic for marine wildlife in the Northern hemisphere. One source of anthropogenic noise currently impacting cetaceans in particular is military sonar. As a result, environmental NGOs have pursued a series of legal battles to test how much leeway the Navy has concerning exemption from environmental laws. The legal battle made its way to the Supreme Court in the case Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). Ruling of the court suggests that the military is held to different standards when it comes to the implementation of federal environmental law. Public opinion on the impact of navy sonar on cetaceans and current policy has not been sought previously and since public opinion is a key force in the development and implementation of policy it could be a valuable asset to stakeholders to understand. In this thesis, I used chi-square tests to determine which demographic variables were correlated with how respondents felt about Navy exemption. I found that age, level of education, and ocean activity participation did not have a significant relationship with how respondents felt about Navy exemption. I did find, however, that individuals who were conservative, Republican, and have served in the military were more likely to believe the Navy should be exempt from marine mammal protection regulations. I was unable to test my hypotheses regarding race/ethnicity and environmental group membership due to insufficient data. My study was also designed to investigate the respondents’ understanding of sonar and its impact on marine mammals in order to support a more comprehensive study in the future. The results that I obtained were that a majority of my sample believe that Navy sonar impacts marine mammals. A majority of my sample also believe that moderating sonar use would be an appropriate action to take if Navy sonar does impact marine mammals. I also found that a large majority of my sample has never heard about the case Winter v. NRDC. I conducted expert interviews to determine the potential ramifications of the Supreme Court case. A few noteworthy points found in the expert interviews include that the case exerts federal power over state power; its legal precedent sets limitations to the use of preliminary junctions under NEPA; and that it is possible to reconcile national security efforts with environmental protection.

description: Introduction Adolescence is a time of heightened sensitivity in biological stress systems and the emergence of stress‐related psychopathology. Thus, understanding environmental factors in adolescence that might be associated with adolescents'’ stress systems is important. Maternal stress levels may be involved. However, the relationship between maternal stress and the adolescent brain is unknown. Method The present study examined the association between mothers' self‐reported stress levels and mothers' cortisol stress reactivity and their early adolescents' brain structure and functional activation to stressful negative emotional images. Participants included 66 mothers and their 12‐ to 14‐year old adolescents. Mother's perceived stress and salivary cortisol reactivity to a stressful task were collected. Then, adolescents' brain structure and function were assessed in a magnetic resonance imaging session. Results Functional whole‐brain analyses revealed that mothers' higher reported perceived stress, but not cortisol reactivity, predicted adolescents' higher responses in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) to stressful negative emotional stimuli. There were no statistically significant associations for structural analyses. Conclusions Given the finding of maternal stress reactivity related to adolescent mPFC function—an integral structure related to stress responses—parent stress may play a role in the development of neural stress systems in adolescence, with potential implications for development of psychopathology.

description: Ab-initio dynamical simulation is used to study the liquid Ga-Se system at the three concentrations Ga$_2$Se, GaSe and Ga$_2$Se$_3$ at the temperature 1300~K. The simulations are based on the density functional pseudopotential technique, with the system maintained on the Born-Oppenheimer surface by conjugate gradients minimization. We present results for the partial structure factors and radial distribution functions, which reveal how the liquid structure depends on the composition. Our calculations of the electrical conductivity $σ$ using the Kubo-Greenwood approximation show that $σ$ depends very strongly on the composition. We show how this variation of $σ$ is related to the calculated electronic density of states. Comparisons with recent experimental determinations of the structure and conductivity are also presented.

description: Deploying Machine Learning (ML) models in the user plane enables low-latency and scalable in-network inference, but integrating them into programmable devices faces stringent constraints in terms of memory resources and computing capabilities. In this demo, we show how the newly proposed DUNE, a novel framework for distributed user-plane inference across multiple programmable network devices by automating the decomposition of large ML models into smaller sub-models, mitigates the limitations of traditional monolithic ML designs.We run experiments on a testbed with Intel Tofino switches using measurement data and show how DUNE not only improves the accuracy that the traditional single-device monolithic approach gets but also maintains a comparable per-switch latency.

The nutrition transition and its health implications in lower-income countries
Creators: name: Popkin, Barry M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1998

description: OBJECTIVE: This article reviews information on the rapid changes in diet, activity and body composition that lower- and middle-income countries are undergoing and then examines some of the potential health implications of this transition.

DESIGN AND SETTING: Data came from numerous countries and also from national food balance (FAOSTAT) and World Bank sources. Nationally representative and nationwide surveys are used. The nationally representative Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Surveys from 1992-96 and the nationwide China Health and Nutrition Survey from 1989-93 are examined in detail.

RESULTS: Rapid changes in the structure of diet, in particular associated with urbanization, are documented. In addition, large changes in occupation types are documented. These are linked with rapid increases in adult obesity in Latin America and Asia. Some of the potential implications for adult health are noted.

CONCLUSIONS: The rapid changes in diet, activity and obesity that are facing billions of residents of lower- and middle-income countries are cause for great concern. Linked with these changes will be a rapid increase in chronic diseases. Little to date has been done at the national level to address these problems.

description: We used the Green Bank Telescope to detect molecular lines observed toward Mid-Infrared (MIR) bubbles N62, N65, N90, and N117. The bubbles were selected from Watson et al. (2016) who detected non-Gaussian CS (1-0) emission lines toward the bubbles. Two of the bubbles are adjacent to infrared dark clouds (IRDCs); we examined these sources for evidence of interaction between the bubble rim and IRDC. The other two bubbles contain YSOs interior to the bubble rim; in these sources we observed the gas near the YSOs. We detect CS (1-0) emission toward all of the sources, and in several pointings the CS emission shows non-Gaussian line shapes. HC$_3$N (5-4), C$^{34}$S (1-0), CH$_3$OH (1-0), and SiO (v=0) (1-0) were also detected in some pointings. We calculate column densities and abundances for the detected molecules. We compare the velocity of optically-thick CS emission with the velocity of the other, optically thin lines to look for evidence of infall. We find that even in pointings with non-Gaussian CS emission, our detections do not support an infall model. We interpret the kinematics of the gas in N62, N65, and N117 as likely evidence of multiple clouds along the line of sight moving at slightly offset velocities. We do not detect evidence of bubble rims interacting with IRDCs in N62 or N90. The gas interior to bubbles appears more disrupted than the gas in the IRDCs. N65 shows significantly stronger emission lines than the other sources, as well as the most complicated non-Gaussian line shapes.

description: This paper examines the Commonwealth of Virginia’s experience utilizing a state Public Private Transportation Act [PPTA or the Act] to promote funding for new infrastructure. Virginia’s PPTA is an initiative that federal highway officials recommend as a model for public private partnership legislation. Federal highway researchers have performed an exhaustive 28-point analysis of Virginia’s PPTA and found it to be extremely flexible. This paper will review Virginia’s PPTA project history and the use of the PPP concept and tolls in the United States. The paper will then focus on recent PPTA developments in Virginia including the June 29, 2006, $548 million concession arrangement concluded with an Australian toll operator to manage and maintain the 8.8-mile tolled Pocahontas Parkway near Richmond. Finally, this paper will present some conclusions about Virginia’s experience.

description: We investigate a Deep Learning based system for malware detection. In the investigation, we experiment with different combination of Deep Learning architectures including Auto-Encoders, and Deep Neural Networks with varying layers over Malicia malware dataset on which earlier studies have obtained an accuracy of (98%) with an acceptable False Positive Rates (1.07%). But these results were done using extensive man-made custom domain features and investing corresponding feature engineering and design efforts. In our proposed approach, besides improving the previous best results (99.21% accuracy and a False Positive Rate of 0.19%) indicates that Deep Learning based systems could deliver an effective defense against malware. Since it is good in automatically extracting higher conceptual features from the data, Deep Learning based systems could provide an effective, general and scalable mechanism for detection of existing and unknown malware.

description: OBJECTIVE: To describe time trends in under- and overnutrition in different regional and income strata of the child and adult population of Brazil.

DESIGN: Nation-wide surveys conducted in 1975, 1989 and 1996/7 in probabilistic samples of 1-4-year-old children and adults 20 years and over. Time trends refer to stunting, wasting and overweight prevalences among children and age-adjusted underweight and obesity prevalences among adults (95% confidence intervals included).

SUBJECTS: Individuals examined by each survey in each age group ranged from 1796 young children in 1996 to 78031 adults in 1975.

SETTING: North-eastern and south-eastern regions of Brazil.

RESULTS: Undernutrition indicators declined intensively and continuously among children and adults in all region and income strata. Obesity remained low and relatively stable among children, but increased intensively and continuously in all regions and income strata among adult males. Obesity also increased intensively and continuously among adult women from the less economically developed region of Brazil (the north-eastern region) and among lower-income women from the more developed region (the south-eastern region). Higher-income women from the more developed region had a significant increase in obesity from 1975 to 1989, followed by a significant decline from 1989 to 1997.

CONCLUSIONS: Undernutrition in young children is being controlled in Brazil without evidence of increasing obesity. However, obesity is rapidly replacing undernutrition in most gender, region and income strata of the adult population. Adult obesity is already more frequent than adult undernutrition in the more economically developed region, among all higher-income groups, and also among lower-income women living in the more developed region. These lower-income women are significantly more exposed than their higher-income counterparts to both undernutrition and obesity.

description: OBJECTIVE: To study the dynamics of childhood overweight and the influence of dietary intake on tracking of overweight.

DESIGN AND SETTING: A follow-up study conducted in China.

SUBJECTS: Ninety-five overweight children, 6-13 years old, identified from 1455 children at baseline, were followed over a 2-year period.

METHODS: Data on anthropometry and 3-day dietary intake were collected at baseline and during follow-up. Overweight was defined using the International Obesity Task Force reference of body mass index (BMI)-for-age. Differences between groups were tested using analysis of variance and Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel tests.

RESULTS: Of the 95 overweight children, 36.8% remained overweight 2 years later ('tracking group'). Urban boys were three times more likely than rural boys to remain overweight (63.2% vs. 21.9%). At baseline, the tracking group had higher BMI, body weight and fat intake (% of energy), and lower carbohydrate intake (% of energy), than the non-tracking group (who shifted from overweight to not overweight); they were more likely to have a high-fat or high-meat diet, but less likely to have a diet high in carbohydrate or vegetables and fruit. During the follow-up, the tracking group increased fat intake and reduced carbohydrate intake while the non-tracking group did not; and they also grew slower in height but faster in weight. Tracking of overweight seemed to be related to tracking of high-meat (relative risk (RR) 2.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0-5.6, P < 0.05) and high-fat (RR 1.5, 95% CI 0.9-2.5, P < 0.1) diets.

CONCLUSION: Considerable changes in children's overweight status during childhood and adolescence were observed in China, a transitional society. Dietary patterns, particularly dietary composition, seemed to influence the tracking patterns of overweight.

description: Device-independent certification refers to the characterization of an apparatus without reference to the internal description of other devices. It is a trustworthy certification method, free of assumption on the underlying Hilbert space dimension and on calibration methods. We show how it can be used to quantify the quality of a Bell state measurement, whether deterministic, partial or probabilistic. Our certification is noise resistant and opens the way towards the device-independent self-testing of Bell state measurements in existing experiments.

description: The method recently proposed by Skala and Cizek for calculating perturbation energies in a strict sense is ambiguous because it is expressed as a ratio of two quantities which are separately divergent. Even though this ratio comes out finite and gives the correct perturbation energies, the calculational process must be regularized to be justified. We examine one possible method of regularization and show that the proposed method gives traditional quantum mechanics results.

description: Recently, Deep Learning has been showing promising results in various Artificial Intelligence applications like image recognition, natural language processing, language modeling, neural machine translation, etc. Although, in general, it is computationally more expensive as compared to classical machine learning techniques, their results are found to be more effective in some cases. Therefore, in this paper, we investigated and compared one of the Deep Learning Architecture called Deep Neural Network (DNN) with the classical Random Forest (RF) machine learning algorithm for the malware classification. We studied the performance of the classical RF and DNN with 2, 4 & 7 layers architectures with the four different feature sets, and found that irrespective of the features inputs, the classical RF accuracy outperforms the DNN.

description: OBJECTIVE: To examine the utility of using external estimates of within-person variation to adjust usual nutrient intake distributions.

DESIGN: Analyses of the prevalence of inadequate intake of an example nutrient by the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) cut-point method using three different methods of statistical adjustment of the usual intake distribution of a single 24-hour recall in Russian children in 1996, using the Iowa State University method for adjustment of the distribution. First, adjusting the usual intake distribution with day 2 recalls from the same 1996 sample (the correct method); second, adjusting the distribution using external variance estimates derived from US children in 1996; and third, adjusting the distribution using external estimates derived from Russian children of the same age in 2000. We also present prevalence estimates based on naive statistical analysis of the unadjusted distribution of intakes.

SETTING/SUBJECTS: Children drawn from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey in 1996 and 2000 and from the 1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals.

RESULTS: When the EAR cut-point method is applied to a single recall, the resulting prevalence estimate in this study is inflated by 100-1300%. When the intake distribution is adjusted using an external variance estimate, the prevalence estimate is much less biased, suggesting that any adjustment may give less biased estimates than no adjustment.

CONCLUSIONS: In moderately large samples, adjusting distributions with external estimates of variances results in more reliable prevalence estimates than using 1-day data.
A revisited study of the unidentified $γ$-ray emission towards the SNR Kes 41

description: Kes 41 is among the Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) proposed to be physically linked to $γ$-ray emission at GeV energies. Although not conclusively, the nature of the $γ$-ray photons has been explained by means of hadronic collisions of particles accelerated at the SNR blast wave with target protons in an adjacent molecular clump. We performed an analysis of Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) data of about 9 years to assess the origin of the $γ$-ray emission. To investigate this matter we also used spectral modelling constraints from the physical properties of the interstellar medium towards the $γ$-ray emitting region along with a revised radio continuum spectrum of Kes 41 ($α= -0.54 \pm 0.10$, $S\proptoν^α$). We demonstrated that the $γ$-ray fluxes in the GeV range can be explained through bremsstrahlung emission from electrons interacting with the surrounding medium. We also consider a model in which the emission is produced by pion-decay after hadronic collisions, and confirmed that this mechanism cannot be excluded.

Using research on the obesity pandemic as a guide to a unified vision of nutrition
Creators: name: Popkin, Barry M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: OBJECTIVE: To focus on factors that play a major role in our rapid, global nutritional changes.

DESIGN: A range of studies are summarised: these show how an understanding of social, economic and technological change at the global, national and community levels affects diet, activity, and body composition patterns and trends. These studies are used to demonstrate the value of the key global, national, community, household and individual factors that should define the field of nutrition.

SETTING: The focus is global.

RESULT: Large shifts have occurred in diet and in physical activity patterns--particularly in the last one or two decades of the twentieth century. These changes are reflected in nutritional outcomes such as changes in average stature, body composition and morbidity. Understanding the rapidity of these changes and the underlying factors at the global, national and community levels is critical for creating a science of nutrition that can prevent disease and sustain the health and integrity of humans.

CONCLUSION: The vision of the nutrition field is one where scholars who work on many levels will intersect; equal weight in the nutrition profession will be provided to all dimensions as they are welcomed into the field of nutrition--particularly those that will directly or indirectly affect dietary patterns, physical activity patterns, and energetics. This vision of the nutrition field is one where scholars from a range of disciplines and perspectives meet to work together with the goal being a focus on improving nutritional status and the human condition.

description: We propose a general approach for the description of multijet events in the framework of QCD event generators. We introduce a new algorithm to match parton showers and arbitrary matrix elements for the production of any number of jets via the strong or electroweak interaction. We developped a new parton cascade code capable to deal with multijet events at LEP energies and beyond.

Longitudinal Dynamics of High Baryon Density Matter in High Energy Heavy-Ion Collisions
Creators: name: Li, Ming

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In high energy heavy-ion collisions, the two colliding nuclei pass through each other leaving behind an almost baryon free central rapidity region. Most of the baryons are carried away by the nuclear remnants and are located in the so-called fragmentation regions. In previous papers \cite{Li:2016wzh,Li:2018ini}, it has been argued that very high baryon densities, more than ten times larger than the normal nuclear density, can be achieved in these fragmentation regions. In this paper, we assume the high baryon density matter is thermalized at the same time as the baryon-free quark-gluon plasma in the central rapidity region. We perform a 1+1D (temporal + longitudinal) hydrodynamic simulation covering both the fragmentation regions and the central rapidity region with the baryon diffusion equation included. Baryons are found to diffuse from the fragmentation regions to the central rapidity region driven by fugacity gradients. The baryon chemical potential at freezeout monotonically increases from the central rapidity region to the fragmentation regions, suggesting a rapidity scan in high energy heavy-ion collisions might be helpful in searching for the critical point of the QCD phase diagram.

description: We analyze the linear response of a half filled Landau level to long wavelength and low frequency driving forces, using Fermi liquid theory for composite fermions. This response is determined by the composite fermions quasi--particle effective mass, $m^*$, and quasi--particle Landau interaction function $f(θ-θ')$. Analyzing infra--red divergences of perturbation theory, we get an exact expression for $m^*$, and conjecture the form of the $f(θ-θ')$. We then conclude that in the limit of infinite cyclotron frequency, and small ${\bf q},ω$, the composite fermion excitation spectrum is continuous for $0

description: [transcription] A Lyon, le 23e janvier 1762.

Monsieur,

Nous avons reçu en son temps l'honneur de vos lettres des 30 novembre et 18 décembre. à la réception de la dernière, nous fîmes passer à Monsieur Samuel de Tournes à Genève le mémoire qui y était inclus. Il nous a répondu qu'il ferait les diligences nécessaires et nous informerait du succès, mais une indisposition et la perte qu'il a faite de Monsieur son père ne lui a pas encore permis de nous donner une réponse finale.

Nous avons appris la réception de l'Hiipocratis opera. Il faut que le Père Tolomas soit encore dans votre province car nous ne l'avons pas encore revu par ici. Nous avons demandé en Hollande le 2e volume du Linnei systema natura et quand il nous sera parvenu nous vous le ferons passer.

En attendant, ayant reçu un des articles que vous nous aviez demandés, savoir le Jaquin Enumeratio plantarum insul. Caraiba, nous vous l'avons envoyé avec le tome IV du Corsini Fasti attici, en un paquet dans une caisse pour M. Rigaud, libraire à Montpellier, de qui il vous plaira de le faire retirer, ne pouvant vous manquer d'occasion pour cela. Vous nous donnerez crédit de 8 lt 10 s pour le tout. Vous avez raison de trouver le Corsini cher, cependant c'est son prix, ce 4e volume nous coûte 16 paoli romains, les autres volumes ne nous coûtaient que 36 paoli les trois.

Nous n'avons jamais reçu de ces Miscellanea observationum de M. d'Orville, ainsi nous ne pouvons pas vous servir des volumes dont vous avez besoin. Voilà bien des beaux ouvrages que l'on imprime à Luques, mais comme ces gens-là ne font pas des échanges, cela n'accompagne pas à faire connaître leurs livres par le peu de bénéfice qu'il y a à faire en les achetant.

Nous avons l'honneur d'être avec la plus parfaite considération,

Monsieur

Vos très humbles et très obéissants serviteurs

Stark Tuning of Single-Photon Emitters in Hexagonal Boron Nitride

description: Single-photon emitters play an essential role in quantum technologies, including quantum computing and quantum communications. Atomic defects in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) have recently emerged as new room-temperature single-photon emitters in solid-state systems, but the development of scalable and tunable h-BN single-photon emitters requires external methods that can control the emission energy of individual defects. Here, by fabricating van der Waals heterostructures of h-BN and graphene, we demonstrate the electrical control of single-photon emission from atomic defects in h-BN via the Stark effect. By applying an out-of-plane electric field through graphene gates, we observed Stark shifts as large as 5.4 nm per GV/m. The Stark shift generated upon a vertical electric field suggests the existence of out-of-plane dipole moments associated with atomic defect emitters, which is supported by first-principles theoretical calculations. Furthermore, we found field-induced discrete modification and stabilization of emission intensity, which were reversibly controllable with an external electric field.

title: The Role of Krüppel Like Factor 4 in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

description: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD) with no known cause and is characterized by a progressive build up fibrotic tissue in the diseased lung. Krüppel-Like Factor 4 (KLF4), a transcription factor with key roles in the cell cycle, cellular differentiation and development, was found to be over-expressed in primary IPF fibroblasts. In this study we sought to investigate the potential role of KLF4 in IPF by investigating the effect of its over-expression on fibroblast differentiation and proliferation status in the normal human pulmonary fibroblasts cell line, MRC5. In addition, we investigated the localization of KLF4 in vivo using normal and IPF tissue (LTRC). The in vivo localization of KLF4 in IPF and normal tissue was confirmed by double-immunohistochemistry (IHC) in combination with either alpha-SMA or PCNA (Abcam). KLF4 over-expression in MRC5 cells was achieved using a doxycyclineinducible lentiviral system (Addgene) and confirmed by quantitative real time PCR (QRTPCR) and western blot. The effect of KLF4 over-expression on markers of proliferation and activation was monitored by Q-RTPCR. KLF4 in the IPF lung was localized on the perimeter of the fibroblastic foci and in the parenchyma in areas of advanced fibrosis, however, it absent with in the fibrotic foci. Co-localization of KLF4 and PCNA was observed, however, alpha-SMA and KLF4 were not observed to colocalize. Following KLF4 induction in vitro a 6-fold increase in KLF4 mRNA and a 3-fold increase in protein were observed. A decrease (2-fold) in alpha-SMA expression at both the gene and protein level was detected. A 3-fold increase in collagen 1A1 (3-fold) mRNA was observed, but of all the selected proliferation markers (PCNA, cyclin D1 and p21 and p53) decreased. The in vivo distribution of KLF4, suggests that it may be involved in the advancement of fibrosis and expansion of the foci. In vitro overexpression studies in MRC5 cells revealed a profoundly negative effect on the cell cycle, which appears to be in contrast to IPF, however, in keeping with the dual roles of KLF4 as both a tumor suppressor and tumor promoter. Of particular interest was an increase in collagen production, the main ECM component of IPF, as the the result of KLF4 overexpression. KLF4 operated in a strongly context dependent manner, and IPF is a particularly context-driven disease where the ECM acts almost as another pathogenic entity. Therefore, while direct comparison between in vivo IPF fibroblasts and in vitro MRC5 cells cannot be made, these data indicate a potential role for KLF4 in the pathogenesis of IPF. Further characterization of this role through experimentation in primary adult IPF fibroblasts is warranted.
