A Defense of the Thesis Painting, "The White Shelf"
Creators: name: Summerford, Ben Long
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In defending the thesis painting, "The White Shelf", I will confine myself to three major points: the general philosophic attitude that has lead to the use of the object as an abstract form; the mechanical construction of the painting, evolved not through specific rules of contraction but through the act of adjustments of relationships arising in the visual process and its pictorial expression; and the use of color as an organic form- and space-making element, Of the three points, the first, that of the philosophic or esthetic idea, is the most important for it gives character to the representation.

description: Background: Children’s active transportation (AT) and independent mobility (IM) are associated with higher physical activity. COVID-19 restrictions have drastically reduced opportunities for physical activity, but their effects on AT and IM remain unknown. Purpose: Using two national surveys of parents across Canada conducted by separate survey firms in October and December 2020, we examined changes in AT and IM since the COVID-19 pandemic. We assessed potential disparities in changes by gender, household income, and disability status. Methods: Survey 1 included 1,568 parents of 5- to 17-year-olds and Survey 2 included 2,291 parents of 7- to 12-year-olds. We assessed changes associated with COVID-19 retrospectively on 5-point scales ranging from a lot less to a lot more. Changes in IM were only assessed in survey 2. We summarized changes in AT and IM with descriptive statistics and examined disparities with linear regression models. Results: In surveys 1 and 2 respectively, 33.4 and 37.5% of parents reported a decline in AT, 48.9 and 48.4% reported no change, and 16.8 and 14.0% reported an increase. 32.8% of parents reported a decline in IM, 56.5% reported no change and 10.7% reported an increase. In both surveys, decreases in AT were significantly larger among children from households earning CAD$ 20,000-79,999 versus >$100,000 with no disparities related to gender or disabilities (p>0.05). We obtained similar results for IM in survey 2. Conclusions: These findings emphasize the need for public health authorities and policymakers to promote AT and IM as activities that can comply with physical distancing requirements. Funding: Study 1 was funded by Dalhousie University, the Province of Nova Scotia, and ParticipACTION. Study 2 was funded by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (grant # G-19-0026216).

description: Quantum gravitational effects may induce stochastic fluctuations in the structure of space-time, to produce a characteristic foamy structure. It has been known for some time now that these fluctuations may have observable consequencies for the propagation of cosmic ray particles over cosmological distances. We note here that the same fluctuations, if they exist, imply that some decay reactions normally forbidden by elementary conservation laws, become kinematically allowed, inducing the decay of particles that are seen to be stable in our universe. Due to the strength of the prediction, we are led to consider this finding as the most severe constraint on the classes of models that may describe the effects of gravity on the structure of space-time. We also propose and discuss several potential loopholes of our approach, that may affect our conclusions. In particular, we try to identify the situations in which despite a fluctuating energy-momentum of the particles, the reactions mentioned above may not take place.

Michelangelo's Campidoglio: A mean to an end
Creators: name: Gubisch, Catherine
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Michelangelo's Campidoglio complex in Rome is one work by the artist that can be profitably examined with the lens of the pervasive Neoplatonic theories of the sixteenth-century Italian Renaissance. This analysis will provide evidence of this Neoplatonic influence using concepts taken from ancient and contemporary writings, as well as facts known about the artist's life and education. I shall conclude that there is a strong correlation between the twelve-pointed star pattern on the pavement of the Campidoglio and the complex number theories set forth first by the writers of antiquity, and later adopted by Renaissance Humanists. I will argue that in designing this complicated pavement, Michelangelo used Neoplatonic number theories in order to glorify the papacy, Christianity, and Rome.

description: Background: COVID-19 protocols have restricted children’s use of recreational facilities and discouraged socialization with peers, potentially exacerbating children’s already low physical activity levels and excessive screen time. Purpose: This study examined how the COVID-19 pandemic affected children’s physical activity and screen time and explored the influence of gender, socioeconomic status (SES), and family COVID-19 constraints (i.e., facility use and social interaction) on children’s physical activity and screen time. Methods: Online surveys were disseminated to parents of grade 6 children (ages 10-12 years) in London, Ontario at two time points: before COVID-19 (May 2019 to February 2020) and during COVID-19 (November to December 2020). Surveys collected information about children’s physical activity, weekday and weekend screen time, demographics and family COVID-19 constraints. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to assess changes in physical activity and screen time. Results: Parents (n = 95) reported declines in children’s physical activity (p = 0.01) and increases in weekday (p < 0.01) and weekend screen time (p < 0.01). Significant changes in physical activity and screen time were identified between gender, SES, and facility use groups. Social interaction limitations resulted in significant changes in screen time, but not physical activity. Conclusions: COVID-19 protocols resulted in decreased physical activity and increased screen time among children. As physical activity and limited screen time are important for children’s health and well-being, resources that support physical activity during the pandemic are needed. Funding: The ACT-i-Pass program is funded by London’s Child and Youth Network.

description: RX J1211+2242 is an optically faint (B = 19.2 mag) but X-ray bright (2 - 10 keV flux fx = 5e-12 erg/cm**2/sec) AGN, which has been shown to be a BL Lac object at redshift z = 0.455. The ROSAT X-ray, Calar Alto optical, and NVSS radio data suggest that the peak of the synchrotron emission of this object is at energies as high as several keV. BeppoSAX observations have been carried out simultaneously with optical observations in order to extend the coverage to higher energies. The new data indeed indicate a turn-over in the 2 - 10 keV energy region. We propose that RX J1211+2242 is the counterpart of the unidentified EGRET source 3EG J1212+2304, making it a gamma-ray emitter with properties similar to, for example, Markarian 501 in its bright state, though being at a much larger distance.

description: Helical structures like alpha helices, DNA, and microtubules have profound importance in biology. It has been suggested that these periodic arrangements of constituent units could support collective excitations similarly to crystalline solids. Here, we examine the interaction between such constructs and oscillating dipoles, and evaluate the role of the helicity in the coupling between electrodynamic fields and vibrations. Based on a vibrational and eigenfunction analyses we discover a group of modes of coherent oscillations that give rise to a strong and delocalized response, selectivity in frequency, and typical interaction range. To describe the field scattering due to the structure vibrations we consider an anisotropic permittivity with a helical periodicity, which applies to all vibration types and close dipole locations. This new type of resonances identified here may help explain the role of electrodynamic fields in the diverse functionality of cytoskeletal microtubules in the cellular environment.

description: Background: Children’s physical activity participation declined during the COVID-19 pandemic and these changes could lead to longer-term impacts on children's cognitive, social, and emotional health. Purpose: To determine parents’ perceptions of cognitive function, peer and family relationships, life satisfaction, physical activity, affect, and global health, among their children who participated in the Build Our Kids’ Success (BOKS) after school physical activity program from October to December 2020. Methods: Parents of children participating in the BOKS program at elementary schools in Nova Scotia, Canada were recruited. At baseline, 159 parents completed the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures Information System (PROMIS) Parent Proxy questionnaire, and 75 parents completed the measures at follow-up. Independent t-tests were used to determine if there were differences between pre and post Parent Proxy Questionnaire data. Results: All NIH PROMIS outcome variables at baseline and follow-up were within normal limits (Adjusted T-Scores: 46.67±7.15 to 50.04±7.13). There were no significant differences in life satisfaction (t(188) = -1.05, p=.30), family relationships (t(189) = 0.31, p=.76), cognitive function (t(199) = -1.16, p=.25), peer relationships (t(192) = -1.86, p=.06), positive affect (t(195) = 0.25, p=.81), or global health (t(216) = -0.43, p=.67) from baseline to follow-up. Conclusions: Parent Proxy questionnaires suggested that the BOKS program had a protective effect on children’s cognitive, social and emotional health during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

description: The Arts and Crafts Movement had its roots in Great Britain in the mid-nineteenth century. John Ruskin and William Morris, two of the original proponents of the Arts and Crafts values, were concerned both about the lack of beauty in mass-produced objects as well as about the impact of industrially-made products on both the workers who produced them and on the quality and style of the goods produced. However, the leaders of the Arts and Crafts movement soon encountered contradictions between their ideals and the options for putting them into practice, including issues related to the use of machines and a segmented labor force in order to make their products more financially available to a large group of consumers. As the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement spread to the United States, these contradictions manifested themselves in the lives and works of Elbert Hubbard and Gustav Stickley. They strove to make quality pieces of furniture but these works were too expensive for most common people to enjoy in their own homes. This contradiction denied both men the satisfaction of achieving the Arts and Crafts ideal, derived from the Socialist interests of William Morris of bringing hand-made, quality pieces to the masses. They were only able to do so when they used machine processes and organized their manufacturing houses with labor divisions.

description: Background: Being physically active is crucial for health among young people; however, their ability to live physically active lifestyles has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Purpose: To investigate the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) among children and youth aged 5-17 years globally. Methods: Literature were searched on CINAHL, MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. To be included, the articles must have been 1) published March-November 2020, 2) focused on PA or SB, 3) investigated children and youth (5-17 years), and 4) written in English. Covidence software was used for screening with two independent screeners, and a Microsoft Word document was used for data extraction, which was then used to synthesize evidence. Results: Based on nine studies included in this review that represent 5,968 participants from eight countries, eight studies found a decrease in PA, with one study indicating varying results based on geographical location (South America vs. Europe) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, six studies found an increase in SB as a result of COVID-19. Conclusion: The COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions have impacted the PA and SB of children and youth unfavourably. Understanding the health implications of these behavioural changes is crucial for public health concurrently and beyond the COVID-19 era. This is still an evolving topic; therefore, more research is required to better support children and youth to return to their normal behavioural patterns as we overcome the pandemic.

description: A vortex molecule is predicted in rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates whose internal hyperfine states are coupled coherently by an external field. A vortex in one component and that in the other are connected by a domain wall of the relative phase, constituting a "vortex molecule", which features a nonaxisymmetric (pseudo)spin texture with a pair of merons. The binding mechanism of the vortex molecule is discussed based on a generalized nonlinear sigma model and a variational ansatz. The anisotropy of vortex molecules is caused by the difference in the scattering lengths, yielding a distorted vortex-molecule lattice in fast rotating condensates.

description: We construct a complete classification of pentaquark states in terms of the spin-flavour SU(6) representations. We find that only some definite SU(3) representations are allowed, singlets, octets, decuplets, anti-decuplets, 27-plets and 35-plets. The latter three contain exotic states, which cannot be constructed from three quarks only. This complete classification scheme is general and model independent and is useful both for model builders and experimentalists. The mass spectrum is obtained from a Gursey-Radicati type mass formula, whose coefficients have been determined previously by a study of qqq baryons. The ground state pentaquark which is identified with the recently observed Theta(1540) state, is predicted to be an isosinglet anti-decuplet state. Its parity depends on the interplay between the spin-flavour and orbital contributions to the mass operator.

description: We study the monogamy and polygamy relations related to quantum correlations for multipartite quantum systems. General monogamy relations are presented for the $α$th $(0\leqα\leqγ, γ\geq2)$ power of quantum correlation, and general polygamy relations are given for the $β$th $(β\geq δ, 0\leqδ\leq1)$ power of quantum correlation. These monogamy and polygamy inequalities are complementary to the existing ones with different parameter regions of $α$ and $β$. Applying these results to specific quantum correlations, the corresponding new classes of monogamy and polygamy relations are obtained, which include the existing ones as special cases. Detailed examples are given.

description: Background: Family physical activity (FPA) interventions often lead to increased physical activity, but trials are only beginning to understand optimal behaviour change techniques for lasting change. This study reports on findings from interviews with families who participated in a randomized controlled trial which explored planning as a strategy to increase physical activity. Methods: Families who completed the FPA intervention trial (see Rhodes et al., 2019) were asked to complete an exit interview at the six-month endpoint of the study. Forty-one interviews were included in the analysis. An iterative, deductive, fully crossed, duplicate thematic analysis was used to code the interviews and reveal the major themes. Results and Discussion: Parents and children reported positive participation outcomes including learning, improving physical fitness, increased family time, and simply having fun. Planning could be challenging considering complex family schedules, frequent extra-curricular activities and varying fitness and energy levels. Elements like the secondary fitness measures and accelerometers used detracted from the success and enjoyment of some participants. Families shared recurrent commentary linking values, identity, planning and activity levels. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the importance and complexity of FPA research. Families emphasized many psycho-social benefits, but shared significant challenges involving the entire family unit simultaneously. More research is indicated to understand the interaction between planning, identity and activity, as well as the influence of secondary measures like fitness testing. Future research could benefit from the use of more seamless technology and tailored protocols to better engage families, minimize burden and support long-term change.

description: This interactive session is organised by the EOSC Association and will provide information on the vision and priorities of the Implementation Phase of the European Open Science Cloud. It will also gather information on new ideas and resources coming from the OS Fair participants that can contribute directly to the newly set up EOSC Advisory Groups and their Task Forces. The EOSC Association represents a single voice for the advocacy and representation of the broader EOSC Stakeholder community in Europe, promoting alignment of EU research policy and priorities. A key role of the Association is to continuously develop the EOSC Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) which will influence future EOSC activities at institutional, national and EU level (including the EOSC-related work programmes in Horizon Europe). This living document will adapt to the changing EOSC ecosystem and the needs of EOSC stakeholders. To achieve this, the Association has set up a series of Advisory Groups (AG) with Task Forces (TF) to engage with the EOSC community around priority areas which will be discussed. EOSC Directors and TF coordinators will first present the charters and remit for each TF. Then we’ll be holding an open discussion, inviting participants to contribute directly to a pooling of ideas, current activities or resources that could contribute or be of interest to the TFs. We’re also interested in your concerns and priorities – what do you not see covered by the TFs or feel is a gap in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda. In the end we’ll be summarizing the main advice, resources and outcomes of each in a final panel session. This presentation is about the technical challenges on EOSC AG.

description: A Hamiltonian formalism is used to describe ensembles of fields in terms of two canonically conjugate functionals (one being the field probability density). The postulate that a classical ensemble is subject to nonclassical fluctuations of the field momentum density, of a strength determined solely by the field uncertainty, is shown to lead to a unique modification of the ensemble Hamiltonian. The modified equations of motion are equivalent to the quantum equations for a bosonic field, and thus this exact uncertainty principle provides a new approach to deriving and interpreting the properties of quantum ensembles. The examples of electromagnetic and gravitational fields are discussed. In the latter case the exact uncertainty approach specifies a unique operator ordering for the Wheeler-DeWitt and Ashtekar-Wheeler-DeWitt equations.

description: Studies consisting of fundamentally different designs have been labelled as home-based, making searching for relevant literature challenging and time-consuming. This issue has been further highlighted by an increased demand for these programmes following the COVID-19 pandemic and associated government-imposed lockdowns. Purpose: To examine what specifically constitutes home-based exercise by 1) developing definitions for a range of terms used when reporting exercise and physical activity programmes and 2) providing examples to contextualise these definitions for use when reporting exercise and physical activity programmes. Methods: A literature search was undertaken to identify previous attempts to define home-based exercise programmes. A working document, including initial definitions and examples were developed, which were then discussed between seven experts for further refinement. Results: We generated definitions for universal key terms within three domains (and subdomains) of programme design: location (home-based, community-based or centre-based), prescription (structured or unstructured) and delivery (supervised, facilitated, or unsupervised). Examples for possible combinations of design terms were produced. Conclusion: Definitions will provide consistency when using reporting tools and will be tested as part of a proposed Delphi study. This is of paramount importance due to the predicted increase in emerging research regarding home-based exercise. Funding: No funding to declare.

description: We argue that, in a theory of quantum gravity in a four dimensional asymptotically flat spacetime, all information about massless excitations can be obtained from an infinitesimal neighbourhood of the past boundary of future null infinity and does not require observations over all of future null infinity. Moreover, all information about the state that can be obtained through observations near a cut of future null infinity can also be obtained from observations near any earlier cut although the converse is not true. We provide independent arguments for these two assertions. Similar statements hold for past null infinity. These statements have immediate implications for the information paradox since they suggest that the fine-grained von Neumann entropy of the state defined on a segment $(-\infty,u)$ of future null infinity is independent of u. This is very different from the oft-discussed Page curve that this entropy is sometimes expected to obey. We contrast our results with recent discussions of the Page curve in the context of black hole evaporation, and also discuss the relation of our results to other proposals for holography in flat space.

Topological derivation of shape exponents for stretched exponential relaxation

description: In homogeneous glasses, values of the important dimensionless stretched-exponential shape parameter beta are shown to be determined by magic (not adjusted) simple fractions derived from fractal configuration spaces of effective dimension d* by applying different topological axioms (rules) in the presence (absence) of a forcing electric field. The rules are based on a new central principle for defining glassy states: equal a priori distributions of fractal residual configurational entropy. Our approach and its beta estimates are fully supported by the results of relaxation measurements involving many different glassy materials and probe methods. The present unique topological predictions for beta typically agree with observed values to ~ 1% and indicate that for field-forced conditions beta should be constant for appreciable ranges of such exogenous variables as temperature and ionic concentration, as indeed observed using appropriate data analysis. The present approach can also be inverted and used to test sample homogeneity and quality.

description: We present preliminary results on 24micron detections of luminous infrared galaxies at z>1 with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). Observations were performed in the Lockman Hole and the Extended Groth Strip (EGS), and were supplemented by data obtained with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) between 3 and 9microns. The positional accuracy of ~2arcsec for most MIPS/IRAC detections provides unambiguous identifications of their optical counterparts. Using spectroscopic redshifts from the Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe survey, we identify 24micron sources at z>1 in the EGS, while the combination of the MIPS/IRAC observations with $BVRIJHK$ ancillary data in the Lockman Hole also shows very clear cases of galaxies with photometric redshifts at 1=M*) galaxy counterparts. It is the first time that this population of luminous objects is detected up to z~2.5 in the infrared. Our work demonstrates the ability of the MIPS instrument to probe the dusty Universe at very high redshift, and illustrates how the forthcoming Spitzer deep surveys will offer a unique opportunity to illuminate a dark side of cosmic history not explored by previous infrared experiments.
