Moderation analysis

description: Despite the generally positive effects of evidence-based reading comprehension interventions on students’ outcomes, not all students respond adequately. Moderation analysis provides a statistical approach to examining responsiveness to intervention as a function of student characteristics. The current study was conducted within a parent project that investigated the effects of computer- and teacher-led interventions to improve inference-making for middle school students with reading difficulties. The aim of this dissertation study was to examine factors that affect student engagement, which, in turn, might influence response to an inference-making intervention. Specifically, language status (i.e., monolingual student, English learner), anxiety (i.e., clinical anxiety), mind-wandering (i.e., internal control of attention while reading), and mindset (i.e., motivation and attitude towards reading ability) were tested as potential moderators of effects of an inference intervention in middle school students with reading difficulties. Data was collected with sixty-six middle school students across two Texas schools who were randomized to a computerized version of the intervention, a teacher-led version, or a business-as-usual control. Results indicated a positive relation between anxiety and mind-wandering. In addition, anxiety, mind-wandering, and language status moderated the effects of the computer-led intervention treatment effects for some reading and inference outcomes, but not others. In contrast, no moderator effects were found for the teacher-led group compared to the business-as-usual group. These findings suggest that a consideration of the interaction of students’ characteristics with instructional elements may be important for understanding the effectiveness of reading interventions for middle school students. In particular, the computer version of the intervention was beneficial (i.e., increased inference-making) for students with high levels of anxiety and mind-wandering. Conversely, the computer version of the intervention was not favorable for English Learners

description: Strong interactions can give rise to new fermionic symmetry protected topological phases which have no analogs in free fermion systems. As an example, we have systematically studied a spinless fermion model with $U(1)$ charge conservation and time reversal symmetry on a three-leg ladder using density-matrix renormalization group. In the non-interacting limit, there are no topological phases. Turning on interactions, we found two gapped phases. One is trivial and is adiabatically connected to a band insulator, while another one is a nontrivial symmetry protected topological phase resulting from strong interactions.

description: We prove the large deviation principle for the trajectory of a broad class of mean field interacting Markov jump processes via a general analytic approach based on viscosity solutions. Examples include generalized Ehrenfest models as well as Curie-Weiss spin flip dynamics with singular jump rates. The main step in the proof of the large deviation principle, which is of independent interest, is the proof of the comparison principle for an associated collection of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Additionally, we show that the large deviation principle provides a general method to identify a Lyapunov function for the associated McKean-Vlasov equation.

description: Background: To explore graduates’ perceptions of significant factors affecting professional iden?tity formation (PIF) throughout their graduate medical school education journey and early practice years.Methods: A qualitative study with medical graduates using non-probability sampling. Data collected with graduates via face to face and telephone interviews. Interviews (n = 9) completed with medical graduates of the School of Medicine, University of Limerick.Results: Graduates described their experiences in general practice, during the early patient contact programme and the longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) as highly influential. The lasting impact of positive role models was highlighted. The importance of socialisation and entering a community of practice were identified as drivers of professional development. Role modelling and mentorship between students and GP tutors were pivotal as part of early clinical years and clinical LIC. This seemed to have a positive influence on graduate’s consideration of general practice as a future career pathway.Conclusion: Professional identity formation occurs for medical students who participate in early patient contact programmes and longitudinal integrated clerkships in GP. Factors such as positive role modelling, good mentorship, communities of practice and a positive learning environment appear to be the main contributors to this process. Experiences as part of longitudinal integrated clerkships are meaningful for graduates, regardless of postgraduate specialisation choices. Educators should acknowledge this when designing medical curricula to ensure that students’ professional identity formation is optimally facilitated. Training should be available to support the educators involved in longitudinal integrated clerkships, as they become role models and mentors to students.
Inclusive photon production at forward rapidities in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV

description: The multiplicity and pseudorapidity distributions of inclusive photons have been measured at forward rapidities ($2.3 < η< 3.9$) in proton-proton collisions at three center-of-mass energies, $\sqrt{s}=0.9$, 2.76 and 7 TeV using the ALICE detector. It is observed that the increase in the average photon multiplicity as a function of beam energy is compatible with both a logarithmic and a power-law dependence. The relative increase in average photon multiplicity produced in inelastic pp collisions at 2.76 and 7 TeV center-of-mass energies with respect to 0.9 TeV are 37.2% $\pm$ 0.3% (stat) $\pm$ 8.8% (sys) and 61.2% $\pm$ 0.3% (stat) $\pm$ 7.6% (sys), respectively. The photon multiplicity distributions for all center-of-mass energies are well described by negative binomial distributions. The multiplicity distributions are also presented in terms of KNO variables. The results are compared to model predictions, which are found in general to underestimate the data at large photon multiplicities, in particular at the highest center-of-mass energy. Limiting fragmentation behavior of photons has been explored with the data, but is not observed in the measured pseudorapidity range.

description: This paper synthesises the results of five archaeological excavations undertaken between 1996 and 2001 by AOC Archaeology Group (AOC) and Surrey County Archaeological Unit (SCAU) as part of the Chertsey Revitalisation Scheme (CRS). The excavations cumulatively revealed evidence indicative of a prehistoric presence in Chertsey through the discovery of Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age artefacts, as well as features and finds relating to the foundation and growth of the settlement during the Saxon, later medieval and post-medieval periods. These included 11th-12th century and later land reclamation, medieval and post-medieval land boundaries and structural evidence dating from the 14th century onwards. Artefacts recovered from the sites included 13th century moulded stone and high-status floor tiles, reused in early post-medieval contexts, which were presumably robbed from Chertsey Abbey after the Dissolution. Together, these discoveries have further illuminated the evolution and growth of Chertsey's historic core.

description: The bleeding canker of European horse chestnut is a recently emerged disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pathovar aesculi (Pae). The major virulence mechanisms driven by this pathogen to infect woody hosts are scarcely investigated. However, genome comparison of the Pseudomonas syringae complex revealed conserved regions only present in E-Pae which are implicated in the metabolism of aromatic and phenolic compounds, in sucrose uptake and utilization and in fatty acid biosynthesis. The hopAB1 effector and HrpL regulon are essential for suppressing and/or triggering defences in different plant species and for symptom development, respectively. However, their contribution to the virulence of Pae is also important to analyse. Our goal was to investigate the main components contributing to Pae virulence on horse chestnut. Therefore, we conducted functional analyses through mutagenesis and complementation experiments to evaluate the genetic adaptations to infection of the woody parts of the tree. Our study revealed the important role of hopAB1 and hrpL in suppressing the plant immune response and causing disease in tobacco plants and horse chestnut. The results demonstrated that E-Pae can utilize sucrose as the sole carbon source, while deletion mutants of ScrB and scrY sucrose genes showed significant reduction in sucrose utilization when grown on sucrose as the sole carbon. Moreover, ScrB and scrY mutants showed disease symptom development on both tobacco and horse chestnut leaves. The deletion of the catB and antA WHOP related-genes encoding for the catabolism of anthranilate and catechol §have not affected the virulence in E-Pae on tobacco neither the HC leaves and their role in the woody tissue are further to be investigated. Our results highlight the role of some of the enzymatic activities encoded within E-Pae and their implication on its evolution and adaptation to woody hosts.

description: We argue that a microscopic structure for space-time such as that expected in a quantum foam scenario, in which microscopic wormholes and other topological structures should play a relevant role, might lead to an effective metric-affine geometry at larger scales. This idea is supported by the role that microscopic defects play in crystalline structures. With an explicit model we show that wormhole formation is possible in a metric-affine scenario, where the wormhole and the matter fields play a role analogous to that of defects in crystals. We also point out that in metric-affine geometries Einstein's equations with an effective cosmological constant appear as an attractor in the vacuum limit for a vast family of theories of gravity. This illustrates how lessons from solid state physics can be useful in unveiling the properties of the microcosmos and defining new avenues for modified theories of gravity.

description: We examine several aspects of black hole horizon physics using the Melvin-Kerr-Newman (MKN) family of spacetimes. Roughly speaking these are black holes immersed in a distorting background magnetic field and unlike the standard Kerr-Newman (KN) family they are not asymptotically flat. As exact solutions with horizons that can be highly distorted relative to KN, they provide a good testbed for ideas about and theorems constraining black hole horizons. We explicitly show that MKN horizons with fixed magnetic field parameter may be uniquely specified by their area, charge and angular momentum and that the charge and angular momentum are bound by horizon area in the same way as for KN. As expected, extremal MKN horizons are geometrically isomorphic to extremal KN horizons and the geometric distortion of near-extremal horizons is constrained by their proximity to extremality. At the other extreme, Melvin-Schwarzschild (MS) solutions may be infinitely distorted, however for intermediate cases any non-zero charge or angular momentum restricts distortions to be finite. These properties are in agreement with known theorems but are seen to be satisfied in interesting and non-trivial ways.

description: Hierarchical networks are attracting a renewal interest for modelling the organization of a number of biological systems and for tackling the complexity of statistical mechanical models beyond mean-field limitations. Here we consider the Dyson hierarchical construction for ferromagnets, neural networks and spin-glasses, recently analyzed from a statistical-mechanics perspective, and we focus on the topological properties of the underlying structures. In particular, we find that such structures are weighted graphs that exhibit high degree of clustering and of modularity, with small spectral gap; the robustness of such features with respect to link removal is also studied. These outcomes are then discussed and related to the statistical mechanics scenario in full consistency. Lastly, we look at these weighted graphs as Markov chains and we show that in the limit of infinite size, the emergence of ergodicity breakdown for the stochastic process mirrors the emergence of meta-stabilities in the corresponding statistical mechanical analysis.

description: In this research, the authors sought to provide experimental data on indoor air quality, and the resulting respiratory impact, for a high-elevation (4550 m), rural community in Ladakh, India. This community is of interest because the primarily nomadic residents burn biomass inside the home for heating and cooking. The concentrations of particulate matter (PM), endotoxin, and carbon monoxide were determined for 6 homes. Lung function data and induced sputum samples were collected for 9 female test-home subjects. In addition, lung function data were collected for 84 additional Ladakhi highlanders at this location. Sputum from 3 visiting scientists (sojourners) was collected and analyzed as well. The average PM concentration ranged from 2 mg/m3 to 7 mg/m3, with 85% of the sampled PM sized as respirable. The average endotoxin concentration ranged from 2.4 ng/m3 to 19 ng/m3, and average carbon monoxide levels ranged from 50 ppm to 120 ppm. Lung function values for the highlander population and the test-home subjects were equal to or greater than predicted, despite the highlanders’ significant exposure to indoor pollutants. An induced sputum analysis revealed a significantly greater total inflammatory cell count (M ± SD, 105 cell/mg) in the Ladakhi natives than in the sojourners (107.5 ± 75.2 vs 7.1 ± 8.1, p .01). Although the high levels of indoor pollutants did not correlate with significant decrements in lung function, the induced sputum analysis revealed marked airway inflammation dominated by macrophages and neutrophils. It appears that augmented lung mechanics of this high-altitude population are adaptive to reduce the work of breathing; thus, decrements in lung function go undetected because the true predicted values are greater than expected.
Factors in graphs

description: Faktoren in Graphen bilden ein klassisches Gebiet der Graphentheorie. Insbesondere perfekte Matchings in kubischen Graphen und reguläre Faktoren von regulären Graphen sind gut erforscht. Eine bedeutende Vermutung, die immer noch offen ist, wurde 1971 von Fulkerson formuliert und besagt, dass jeder brückenlose kubische Graph sechs perfekte Matchings hat, so dass jede Kante in genau zwei von ihnen vorkommt. Ein r-Graph, der als Verallgemeinerung eines brückenlosen kubischen Graphen angesehen werden kann, ist ein r-regulärer Graph, in dem jede ungerade Menge von Knoten mit seinem Komplement durch mindestens r Kanten verbunden ist. Ähnlich wie im kubischen Fall vermutete Seymour, dass jeder r-Graph 2r perfekte Matchings hat, so dass jede Kante in genau zwei von ihnen vorkommt. Beide Vermutungen sind trivialerweise wahr für Graphen mit chromatischem Index Delta, aber im Allgemeinen noch weitgehend offen. In dieser Arbeit stellen wir verschiedene neue Ergebnisse auf dem Gebiet der Graphenfaktoren vor; die meisten stehen in engem Zusammenhang mit den beiden oben genannten Vermutungen. Insbesondere untersuchen wir perfekte Matchings in r-Graphen. Die Hauptmotivation ist, ein besseres Verständnis der Struktur von Graphen die nicht Delta-kantenfärbbar sind, zu erlangen.
description: Factors in graphs form a classical area of graph theory. In particular, perfect matchings in cubic graphs and regular factors of regular graphs are well-studied. One major conjecture that is still open was formulated by Fulkerson in 1971 and states that every bridgeless cubic graph has six perfect matchings such that each edge is in exactly two of them. An r-graph, which can be seen as a generalization of a bridgeless cubic graph, is an r-regular graph in which every odd set of vertices is connected to its complement by at least r edges. Similar to the cubic case, Seymour conjectured that every r-graph has 2r perfect matchings such that each edge is in exactly two of them. Both conjectures are trivially true for graphs with chromatic index Delta, but widely open in general. In this thesis we present various new results in the broad area of graph factors; most of them are well-related to the two aforementioned conjectures. In particular we study perfect matchings in r-graphs. The main motivation is to get a better understanding of the structure of graphs that are not Delta-edge-colorable.

description: This Performance as Research thesis centers the 2019 work-in-progress performance of While Supplies Last. While Supplies Last’s central narrative follows the family life of Geoffrey “Junior” Giraffe, in his struggle to lead Toys “R” Us, after the recent death of his father. In While Supplies Last, I play with what I term “toxic American inheritances,” entrenched systems of oppression that shape the United States including: hegemonic masculinity, white supremacy, rampant consumerism, and plastic pollution. I argue that toys, while molded by these forces, are simultaneously objects of play, and therefore potent sources for transgression and transformation. I contend that the free-wheeling spirit of play makes it a particularly effective tool to address toxic American inheritances, which rely on restriction and regulation. In Chapter One I describe the historical and theoretical frameworks of the project, including my research into the Jewish inventors and entrepreneurs that shaped the post-World War II American toy industry. In Chapter Two I analyze the three performance lecture interludes that interrupt While Supplies Last ’s central narrative: a Borscht Belt comedy set by Mr. Potato Head, a physical fitness seminar with G.I. Joe, and a TED Talk by Pac-Man. In Chapter Three I evaluate the successes and failures of While Supplies Last with an eye towards its future development

description: Prior work estimates particular economic benefits associated with wind energy development in the United States, but few papers provide econometric estimates. Combining a dataset of geolocated windmills throughout the continental U.S. with county-level statistics on personal income and government revenue, I estimate the effect of a one megawatt increase in county-level installed wind power capacity using an instrumental variables approach. Panel two-stage least squares estimates demonstrate a 0.13 percent increase in personal income and a 0.25 percent increase in county government revenue per megawatt of installed capacity. Estimated gross economic benefits from 2001 to 2017 total to roughly $1,040 billion in additional personal income and $38 billion in additional government revenue

description: Data processing pipelines need to be executed at scales ranging from small runs up through large production data release runs resulting in millions of data products. As part of the Rubin Observatory's pipeline execution system, BPS is the abstraction layer that provides an interface to different Workflow Management Systems (WMS) such as HTCondor and PanDA. During the submission process, the pipeline execution system interacts with the Data Butler to produce science-oriented execution graphs from algorithmic tasks. BPS converts this execution graph to a workflow graph and then uses a WMS-specific plugin to submit and manage the workflow. Here we will discuss the architectural design of this interface and report briefly on the recent production of the Data Preview 0.2 release and how the system is used by pipeline developers.

description: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a challenging and complex mental health disorder
characterized by emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, unstable relationships, and a poor sense of
self. Neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to change and adapt in response to experiences, is impaired
in individuals with BPD, specifically in the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus. This
impairment has been linked to emotional dysregulation, a core symptom of the disorder.
Interventions aimed at improving neuroplasticity hold promise as a treatment target for BPD.
Current evidence suggests that psychotherapeutic interventions, such as Dialectical Behavioral
Therapy (DBT), may improve neural plasticity in the brain regions associated with emotional
dysregulation and may result in symptom reduction and improved functioning in individuals with
BPD. However, much more research is needed to better understand the relationship between
neuroplasticity and BPD, as well as to develop more targeted and effective interventions. With continued research in this area, it is hoped that improved understanding of the role of
neuroplasticity in BPD will lead to the development of more effective treatments for this challenging
disorder.

description: We analyze the critical properties and the entanglement scaling at the quantum critical points of the spin-half XY model on the two-dimensional square-lattice bilayer and necklace lattice, based on quantum Monte Carlo simulations on finite tori and for different subregion shapes. For both models, the finite-size scaling of the transverse staggered spin structure factor is found in accord with a quantum critical point described by the two-component, three-dimensional $ϕ^4$-theory. The second Rényi entanglement entropy in the absence of corners along the subsystem boundary exhibits area-law scaling in both models, with an area-law prefactor of $0.0674(7)$ [$0.0664(4)$] for the bilayer [necklace] model, respectively. Furthermore, the presence of $90^{\circ}$ corners leads to an additive logarithmic term in both models. We estimate a contribution of $-0.010(2)$ [$-0.009(2)$] due to each $90^{\circ}$ corner to the logarithmic correction for the bilayer [necklace] model, and compare our findings to recent numerical linked cluster calculations and series expansion results on related models.

description: There are often multiple anatomic factors that contribute to nasal obstruction, creating difficulty in deciding which components to address for a successful outcome. The purpose of this pilot study is to demonstrate the effect of individual components of functional nasal airway surgery in a patient with multifactorial obstruction and discuss the potential benefit of computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-aided virtual surgery.
The Holographic Goldstino

description: We find the fingerprints of the Goldstino associated to spontaneous supersymmetry breaking in a prototype holographic model for a strongly coupled field theory. The Goldstino massless pole arises in two-point correlators of the supercurrent, due to contact terms in supersymmetry Ward identities. We show how these contact terms are obtained from the holographic renormalization of the gravitino sector, independently of the details of the bulk background solution. For completeness, we provide an example of a family of such solutions in a simple supergravity model.

description: Palynological analyses and a scheme of radiocarbon dating from Point Pleasant, Wandsworth have yielded important dated pollen sequences which between them cover most of the Mesolithic and, following a hiatus, the Early Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age to the post-medieval periods. Particularly important are sequences that illuminate our understanding of the earliest Holocene (Flandrian 1a-1c), and the account of intensifying agriculture in the early medieval period. The dataset details a mostly complete record of the changing Holocene landscape of Wandsworth and locates an early Holocene outlet of the river Wandle prior to its migration. The project highlights the importance of geoarchaeological studies through intersections with known archaeology and provides a rare opportunity to study palaeoecology in south-west London over many thousands of years.

description: En 2015-2016, il a été réalisé au LIEPP une évaluation de la révision constitutionnelle du 23 juillet 2008 du point de vue du Parlement sous la responsabilité d’Olivier Rozenberg et Guillaume Tusseau. Le Working Paper 61 a été publié à l’issue de cette étude. Il évalue les effets de la révision constitutionnelle de 2008 du point de vue de son objectif principal : la revalorisation du Parlement. Il passe ainsi en revue nombre de dispositions relatives à l’ordre du jour des séances des assemblées, aux activités de législation, de contrôle et d’évaluation ou encore au statut de l’opposition. Ce travail s’appuie sur une analyse chiffrée des différentes procédures, et secondairement sur des entretiens menés dans les assemblées. Ses conclusions sont mitigées. La révision n’a pas permis une revalorisation de grande ampleur du Parlement. Les points positifs, par exemple le rôle des commissions dans la procédure législative, sont à la fois contrebalancés et limités par des frilosités de la réforme, des déceptions de sa mise en œuvre et quelques effets pervers. Parmi les principales difficultés : le rôle la séance dans la procédure législative, la difficulté à intéresser aux activités de contrôle et d’évaluation et la place de l’opposition. Cependant, plusieurs dispositions de la révision comme la dynamique suscitée par leur mise en œuvre contribuent à infléchir assez nettement l’esprit présidentialiste de la Ve République – au Parlement en tout cas. En outre, elles offrent aux assemblées des outils et des pistes pour s’affirmer plus nettement à l’avenir.
Further archaeological investigations at 'Caesar's Camp', Matthew Arnold School, Staines-upon-Thames

description: Archaeological investigations carried out by Wessex Archaeology at Matthew Arnold School, Staines-upon-Thames, partially coincided with the much-explored double-ditched trapezoid enclosure known as 'Caesar's Camp', first recorded by the 18th century antiquarian William Stukeley and now a Scheduled Monument. The results compare well with earlier excavations at the school and support previous indications of a medieval date for this enigmatic feature. In addition, small-scale evidence for Late Bronze Age settlement was revealed, comprising a ditched enclosure and a scatter of pits and postholes alongside associated artefactual and environmental evidence. This is also comparable to previous work undertaken within the school grounds - during which significant quantities of prehistoric pottery and worked flint have been recovered - and is consistent with wider land-use patterns along river terrace gravels in this region.
Some three-point correlation functions in the eta-deformed AdS_5 x S^5

description: We compute some normalized structure constants in the $η$-deformed $AdS_5\times S^5$ in the framework of the semiclassical approach. This is done for the cases when the "heavy" string states are finite-size giant magnons carrying one angular momentum and for three different choices of the "light" state: primary scalar operators, dilaton operator with nonzero momentum, singlet scalar operators on higher string levels. Since the dual field theory is still unknown, the results obtained here must be considered as conjectures or as predictions from the string theory side.
