description: Genus Ehrhardina Martha and Taylor, 2016
(Figure 8)
 Type species
 Ehrhardina voigti Martha and Taylor, 2016, by original designation. Cretaceous, early Cenomanian, Devon, England, United Kingdom.
 Diagnosis
Colony encrusting, multilamellar; pore chambers present. Autozooids subhexagonal; zooidal boundaries raised with a medial groove (Figure 8 (a,b)). Cryptocyst extensive, granular. Gymnocyst lacking. Opesia terminal, occupying about one-third to half of the frontal surface; semicircular with moderate to deep opesiular indentations. Ovicells hyperstomial, ooecium gymnocystal with a median suture (Figure 8 (c)). Avicularia interzooidal, symmetrical, small (Figure 8 (b)), less than half the size of an autozooid; opesia longitudinally elliptical; rostrum spatulate, floor smooth.
 Remarks
 Martha and Taylor (2016) introduced this genus for two new early Cenomanian species, the type species, E. voigti, from Devon in the United Kingdom, and E. pikeae Martha and Taylor, 2016, from North-Rhine Westphalia in Germany. Key features of the type species are the gymnocystal ooecium which contrasts with the cryptocyst-like ooecia seen in most other onychocellid genera that have non-immersed ovicells. Having an exteriorwalled ooecium can be interpreted as a primitive condition, possibly inherited from an ancestral form resembling Wilbertopora Cheetham, 1954 (see Ostrovsky 2013). Intact ovicells have not been seen in E. pikeae but autozooidal morphology is very similar to the type species. The avicularia in E. pikeae, however, are larger and have folds of gymnocyst over their opesiae.
 Range
Cretaceous (early Cenomanian).

description: Although, the PMMA have good advantages made it appropriate to denture base applications. But its low impact and fracture strength represent the main drawbacks of it.so many studies had been done in order to overcome these problems. In this study Pistachio Shell powder was added in different weight fractions of about (3, 6, 9 and 12 wt. %) and different average particle sizes of about (53μm, 106μm, 150μm and212μm) to (heat-cure) PMMA that is popularly utilize in denture base applications and study the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) behavior of this bio composite. The results were as the following: the FTIR results demonstrated that there are no new peaks appeared after the reinforcing by Pistachio Shell powder. Also there was no shifting in any of these peaks. While the DSC test showed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) increased as the particle size of Pistachio Shell powder increased. The highest value of Tg (126.9℃) was obtained for composite specimen reinforced with 12% of Pistachio Shell powder with average particle size of about (212μm).
IDENTIFICATION OF FLAVOR COMPOUNDS IN MAPLE SYRUP USING SOLID-PHASE MICROEXTRACTION WITH GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY

description: Maple syrup is made out of the sap of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and it contains concentrated sugar, organic acids, amino acids, minerals and volatile compounds, which are formed during the evaporation process of sap. We analyzed fourteen different maple syrup samples harvested during March to April 2020, from Zoar Tapatree Company, located in Rodman, NY. Each of the samples has a characteristic color, odor and flavor, which are affected by three main reactions during the thermal process, such as caramelization reactions, Maillard reactions and alkaline degradation of lignin derived compounds. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was applied for the identification of volatile compounds in the samples. Elemental analysis was performed using inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) to evaluate any changes in the metal ion content of the maple sap over the harvesting season. Climatic factors, such as temperature, rainfall and snowfall averages in the area of Rodman, NY were examined on how they impact color and flavor of the analyzed samples.

description: We obtain exact solution of the Dirac equation for a charged particle with position-dependent mass in the Coulomb field. The effective mass of the spinor has a relativistic component which is proportional to the square of the Compton wavelength and varies as 1/r. It is suggested that this model could be used as a tool in the renormalization of ultraviolet divergences in field theory. The discrete energy spectrum and spinor wave-function are obtained explicitly.

Lattimer Massacre

description: The Lattimer Massacre occurred in September of 1897 in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania. It has been described as the bloodiest massacre of the nineteenth century. In this event, a company-sponsored sheriff and a posse of local businessmen shot into a crowd of striking Eastern European mine laborers, resulting in the deaths of at least nineteen. A survey was initiated by the Department of Anthropology of the University of Maryland as part of a broader research program examining labor and immigration heritage of the Anthracite Region of Northeast Pennsylvania. The site was surveyed on three dates in the fall of 2010, November 13 and 14 and December 4, 2010. Members of BRAVO conducted systematic and random metal detecting surveys of three areas. At the conclusion of the survey and subsequent analysis some of the initial goals for the project were satisfactorily completed, while others remain elusive. No cartridges dating to the massacre were found. The location of the initial engagement was identified by a cluster of three bullets from the period of the massacre or earlier. A fourth bullet was identified roughly where the right side of the line of deputies was situated.

description: We show that the permeability of porous media can be reliably predicted from the Minkowski tensors (MTs) describing the pore microstructure geometry. To this end, we consider a large number of simulations of flow through periodic unit cells containing complex shaped obstacles. The prediction is achieved by training a deep neural network (DNN) using the simulation data with the MT elements as attributes. The obtained predictions allow for the conclusion that MTs of the pore microstructure contain sufficient information to determine the permeability, although the functional relation between the MTs and the permeability could be complex to determine.

description: We have developed a combination of light scattering techniques to study and characterize droplets of a ultrasonic spray printer or coater in flight. For this economically relevant printer there is so far no reliable technique to systematically adjust the experimental parameters. We have combined photon correlation spectroscopy and turbidimetry to determine size and speed of the droplets depending on parameters of the printing process as viscosity, concentration and speed of the driving shroud gas. Our method allows to predetermine these parameters to control the properties of the printed films as e.g. thickness from tens of nanometers to micrometers.

description: In the fall of 2009, archaeologists and students from the University of Maryland’s Center for Heritage Resource Studies, in conjunction with the Archaeology Program, Maryland National Capital Parks and Planning Commission, conducted phase II archaeological testing of a portion of the garden at the Federal-period Riversdale Mansion (18PR390). The goal of the excavation was to evaluate the impact of ongoing erosion on archaeological resources in the project area. Excavators dug a total of 4 units measuring five-foot square and another half-unit measuring 2.5-feet by five-feet. They recovered 4280 objects ranging in date from the early 19th century through the twentieth century. They also unearthed the remains of a large garden wall erected around 1805 as well as the foundation of a brick structure built before 1830. This report details the project activities, and recommends that M-NCCP continue to monitor the effects of erosion on these resources. It also suggests future research questions, should additional excavations prove necessary.
Rat pairs cooperate only to defend individual water homeostasis
Creators: name: Tripoli, Christopher S.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Ben-Ami Bartal, Decety and Mason (2011) demonstrated that a rat free to move in an open chamber would open a door blocking a second rat’s egress from a restraint tube. They theorized that the free rat behaved empathically by opening the door to the restraint tube, permitting the trapped rat to escape. Silberberg, Allouch, Sandfort, Kearns, Karpel and Slotnick(2014) reinterpreted their result. They attributed the free-rat’s door-opening response not to empathy, but to the free rat’s pursuit of social contact with the trapped rat. I investigated cooperative responding for water rewards in a procedure that did not allow for physical contact between pairs of rats, but did allow them to observe one another through a transparent barrier. Pairs of rats learned to cooperate for water rewards by climbing ladders and inserting their heads into respective reward ports synchronously. Thirst states of rats within each pair were then systematically manipulated. Results were consistent with the notion that absent social contact, rats are unmotivated by the need states of others. Sated rats with thirsty partners initially responded at a significantly higher rate than when their partners were also sated—a result compatible with empathic action in the sated rats. However, these response rates decreased over experimental conditions. By the end of the study, rats that were sated cooperated no more frequently with thirsty rats than they did when all rats were sated. While these results evidence cooperation between rats, they do not provide evidence of rat empathy.

description: With the advent of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), time-domain astronomy will be faced with an unprecedented volume and rate of data. Real-time processing of variables and transients detected by such large-scale surveys is critical to identifying the more unusual events and allocating scarce follow-up resources efficiently. We develop an algorithm to identify these novel events within a given population of variable sources. We determine the distributions of magnitude changes (dm) over time intervals (dt) for a given passband f, pf(dm|dt), and use these distributions to compute the likelihood of a test source being consistent with the population, or an outlier. We demonstrate our algorithm by applying it to the DECam multi-band time-series data of more than 2000 variable stars identified by Saha et al. (2019) in the Galactic Bulge that are largely dominated by long-period variables and pulsating stars. Our algorithm discovers 18 outlier sources in the sample, including a microlensing event, a dwarf nova, and two chromospherically active RS CVn stars, as well as sources in the Blue Horizontal Branch region of the color-magnitude diagram without any known counterparts. We compare the performance of our algorithm for novelty detection with multivariate KDE and Isolation Forest on the simulated PLAsTiCC dataset. We find that our algorithm yields comparable results despite its simplicity. Our method provides an efficient way for flagging the most unusual events in a real-time alert-broker system.

Historical Archaeology

description: In August of 2008, archaeologists and students at the Center for Heritage Resource Studies (CHRS) at the University of Maryland conducted a program of archaeological field survey at the historic Bostwick House. This survey resulted in the identification of six major activity areas of archaeological significance on the property. At this time it was decided that those six activity areas should receive special attention in any planning activities on the property. Historic Bostwick is located at the base of Lowndes Hill in Bladensburg, Maryland. Christopher Lowndes constructed the house around 1745. Lowndes was an early land developer as well as a merchant, shipbuilder, and slave trader, and he made Bladensburg the headquarters of his operation. The house continued to be occupied through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The property underwent significant changes in the early twentieth century, and nearby urban development has impacted the landscape as well. Currently the property is managed by a partnership between the Town of Bladensburg and the University of Maryland‟s Historic Preservation Program. These partners plan to rehabilitate the standing house structure and to turn the house into a destination for education and other activities. In the spring of 2009, the Town of Bladensburg developed plans to re-route the existing driveway at the Bostwick House, and replace it with a permeable surface accessible to emergency vehicles. Although the proposed Area of Potential Effect (APE) did not directly intersect with one of the six areas identified in the previous survey, it was determined that the potential existed for intact cultural resources to exist in the APE due to its proximity to one of the areas identified. In June of 2009, archaeologists and students from CHRS excavated four STP‟s and two test units within the new driveway‟s APE. Additionally, previously surveyed units were reexamined. The excavations did not reveal the presence of cultural features that might shed light on the nature of the activities conducted in the adjacent area. Excavations resulted in the recovery of artifacts related to all of the eras of Bostwick‟s occupation and confirmed the richness of the archaeological record present on the grounds. In May of 2010, CHRS archaeologists monitored the grading of the APE as part of the process of ensuring the archaeological heritage of Bostwick, Bladensburg and the State of Maryland would not be compromised in the building of this necessary modern alteration of the house‟s landscape. The preservation plan allowed archaeologists from the University of Maryland to mitigate aspects of the construction plan that may have affected sensitive areas identified during the initial survey.

description: We investigate how galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements depend on the knowledge of redshifts for lens and source galaxies. Galaxy-galaxy lensing allows one to study dark matter halos of galaxies statistically using weak gravitational lensing. Redshift information is required to reliably distinguish foreground lens galaxies from background source galaxies and to convert the measured shear into constraints on the lens model. Without spectroscopy or multi-colour information, redshifts can be drawn from independently estimated probability distributions. The COMBO-17 survey provides redshifts for both lens and source galaxies. It thus offers the unique possibility to do this investigation with observational data. We find that it is of great importance to know the redshifts of individual lens galaxies in order to constrain the properties of their dark matter halos. Whether the redshifts are derived from $UBVRI$ or the larger number of filters available in COMBO-17 is not very important. In contrast, knowledge of individual source redshifts improves the measurements only very little over the use of statistical source redshift distributions as long as the source redshift distribution is known accurately.

description: Genus Floridinella Canu and Bassler, 1917
(Figure 12)
 Type species
 Floridinella vicksburgica Canu and Bassler, 1917, by original designation. Oligocene, Vicksburgian (= Rupelian), Escambia County, Alabama, USA.
 Diagnosis
Colony encrusting (Figure 12 (a)) or tubular erect (Figure 12 (b)). Autozooids elongate subhexagonal; zooidal boundaries grooved. Cryptocyst extensive, granular. Gymnocyst lacking or very narrow. Opesia terminal, occupying one-third to half of frontal surface; constricted just beyond mid-length (Figure 12 (b)), proximal edge straight to slightly concave. Ovicells hyperstomial; opesia enlarged in ovicellate autozooids; ooecia?cryptocyst-like. Avicularia equivocal (see below).
 Remarks
 Floridinella resembles Floridina but supposedly lacks avicularia and has opesiae with less concave proximal edges. Although this genus was explicitly stated by Canu and Bassler (1917) to lack avicularia, Cook and Bock (2001) re-examined syntype specimens of the type species and found that Canu and Bassler had retouched their figures to remove the small disto-lateral avicularia present on the surfaces of the ovicells. According to Cook and Bock, these avicularia have a triangular rostrum and a calcified pivotal bar.
 Winston (2016) regarded Floridinella as a junior synonym of Ammatophora Norman, 1903. However, the type species of the latter genus – Membranipora nodulosa Hincks, 1877a – has large tubercles between the zooids and semi-elliptical opesiae unlike the trifoliate opesiae of the type species of Floridinella. Canu and Bassler (1920, p. 229) described the ovicell of Floridinella as ‘endozooecial and separated from the zooecia by a fold’. Whether the ooecium is gymnocystal or cryptocyst-like is uncertain. In the oldest species assigned to this genus – F. jeffersoni Taylor and McKinney, 2006 from the Maastrichtian of Alabama – the ovicell is hyperstomial with a cryptocyst-like ooecium (Figure 12 (d)). This species also shows a trace of very narrow gymnocyst around the margins of the zooids (Figure 12 (c)).
 Range
Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) to Recent.

description: The National Perk Service uses Archeological Overview and Assessment (AOA) reports as management tools for existing and potential archaeological resources at the sites in its care. This report addresses Thomas Stones National Historic Site, located near Port Tobacco in Charles County, Maryland and part of the NPS Northeast Region. The report provides an overview of topics relevant to the future concerns of managing the archeological resources at the park. The archaeological sites and collections at Thomas Stone NHS offer an important opportunity to explore unknown elements of the site's history and integrate previous and future findings into interpretive panels in the main house. Archaeological artifacts representative of the history of the house are on display. Great potential exists to make Thomas Stone NHS a model for the uses of American Indian and post-contact archaeology, particularly because the park staff is enthusiastic about it.
Measurement of the Absolute Branching Ratio for the K+ -> mu+ nu(gamma) Decay with the KLOE Detector

description: We have measured the fully inclusive K+ -> mu+nu(gamma) absolute branching ratio with the KLOE experiment at DAFNE, the Frascati Phi-factory. From some 865,283 K+ -> mu+nu(gamma) decays obtained from a sample of about 5.2x10^8 Phi-meson decays, we find BR(K+ -> mu+ nu (gamma)) = 0.6366 +-0.0009(stat.) +-0.0015(syst.), corresponding to an overall fractional error of 0.27%. Using recent lattice results on the decay constants of pseudoscalar mesons one can obtain an estimate for the CKM mixing matrix element |Vus|=0.2223+-0.0026.

description: The Center for Heritage Resource Studies (CHRS) at the University of Maryland College Park has completed this historic resources study of the lower portion of the Potomac Gorge on behalf of the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) under Task Agreement No. P11AT31053 of the Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), focusing on the area between Little Falls and the environs of Pimmit Run, Chain Bridge, and Fort Marcy associated with the Civil War defenses of Washington, DC The study encompasses resources on both sides of the Potomac, from ancient Native American contexts through to the completion of the parkway lanes on the eastern side of the Potomac, designated as Clara Barton Parkway during the 1980s. The resulting synthesis provides a historical database for interpretation of resources along the Potomac River below Little Falls. This study was conceived as a synthesis of available scholarship, and the focus is the area defined by the segment of the Potomac River and adjacent lands that fall between Little Falls and Chain Bridge. Pimmit Run enters the Potomac River just south of Chain Bridge, and Fort Marcy, a remarkable network of earthen fortifications associated with the Civil War Defenses of Washington, lies atop a bluff above Pimmit Run and the Virginia abutment of Chain Bridge. This set of landmarks – a crossroads of sorts – lies at the core of the study area. The partners in this study embrace a wider regional approach, arguing for the relevance of histories associated with the broader landscape of the Potomac to our account of historic resources within this tight little locality. Hence, the sites and features addressed in this historic resources study extend over several miles along both shores of the Potomac, from Sycamore Island and the stream valley associated with Walhonding Brook to the north, to the former location of the Little Italy community in the stream valley for Donaldson Run in Arlington County to the south. The cultural resources present within the study area hold historical significance and retain integrity sufficient to justify nomination to the National Register of Historic Places as a district of associated resources, unified by the cultural landscape of the Potomac Gorge, and the Potomac River crossing at Chain Bridge. This study describes these resources and their historical associations in detail, and provides a series of recommendations towards production of a National Register nomination, as well as further opportunities for public interpretation, and research.

description: We report on an XMM-Newton observation of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240. The 0.3-10 keV spectrum can be successfully modelled with: (i) three collisionally ionized plasma components with temperatures of about 0.7, 1.4, and 5.5 keV; (ii) a highly absorbed direct power-law component; and (iii) a neutral Fe K_alpha and K_beta line. We detect a significant neutral column density gradient which is correlated with the temperature of the three plasma components. Combining the XMM-Newton spectral model with the high spatial resolution Chandra image we find that the temperatures and the column densities increase towards the center. With high significance, the Fe K line complex is resolved into three distinct narrow lines: (i) the neutral Fe K_alpha line at 6.4 keV; (ii) an ionized line at about 6.7 keV; and (iii) a higher ionized line at 7.0 keV (a blend of the Fe XXVI and the Fe K_beta line). While the neutral Fe K line is most probably due to reflection from optically thick material, the Fe XXV and Fe XXVI emission arises from the highest temperature ionized plasma component. We have compared the plasma parameters of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240 with those found in the local starburst galaxy NGC 253. We find a striking similarity in the plasma temperatures and column density gradients, suggesting a similar underlying physical process at work in both galaxies.

description: An Inconvenient Sorrow by Benjamin Truax is a work of original fiction that seeks to explore sexuality, aging, and the bonds of family. This novella follows the trials of Sheldon Greene as he navigates a new chapter of his life, one in which he has decided to be open about his sexuality. This decision causes unforeseen rifts in his family life, his work life, and his social life in the midwestern city of Cincinnati, Ohio. Long held secrets and lies are exposed, and Sheldon finds refuge in the political campaign for an openly gay mayoral candidate. Alone for the first time in a long time, he finally has the space to find self-acceptance and reconcile with the deeds of his past.

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK: THE RISE OF PRIVATE COLLECTION MUSEUMS SINCE 2000
Creators: name: Jackson, Helen
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Private art collection museums are not new, but what is different is the number opened over the past two decades. Using specific examples and case studies, this thesis examines private collectors who establish museums – the motivations, the long-term sustainability and legacy, and takes a brief look at whether these private museums are having an impact on traditional art museums. There is a paucity of scholarly published material on new private collection museums in the U.S. and through research and interviews with experts in the field, this thesis aims to throws light on the often contentious, but important new additions to the art museum canon.

description: The aim of this paper is to present an overview of the « responsible innovation » concept. This concept was first defined at the beginning of the 21st century. It then spread around the world, driven by the European Commission. Firstly, we present the roots of this concept which are based on, on the one hand, the philosophical approach of “researchers and engineers responsibility”, and on the other hand, technological assessment. Then, we describe how the concept of “responsible research and innovation” has grown progressively in European research and innovation politics, in order to bring science and innovation closer to society. Lastly, we describe how this concept is used in companies in connection with their social responsibility. ....French Abstract: L’objectif de ce papier est de réaliser un « état de l’art » portant sur le concept d’ « innovation responsable » apparu au début des années 2000 et diffusé notamment sous l’impulsion de la Commission Européenne. Nous présentons tout d’abord les fondements, de ce concept, en lien avec l’approche philosophique de la responsabilité des chercheurs et ingénieurs, d’une part, les questions relatives à l’évaluation des techniques d’autre part. Puis nous exposons comment le concept de « recherche et innovation responsables » s’est développé progressivement dans les politiques européennes de recherche et d’innovation, afin de rapprocher la science et l’innovation de la société. Enfin, nous relatons comment ce concept est décliné dans les entreprises, en lien avec leur responsabilité sociétale.
Possible effects of charge frustration in Na$_x$CoO$_2$: bandwidth suppression, charge orders and resurrected RVB superconductivity

description: Charge frustration due to further neighbor Coulomb repulsion can have dramatic effects on the electronic properties of Na$_x$CoO$_2$ in the full doping range. It can significantly reduce the effective mobility of the charge carriers, leading to a low degeneracy temperature $ε_F \lesssim T$. Such strongly renormalized Fermi liquid has rather unusual properties--from the point of view of the ordinary metals with $ε_F \gg T$--but similar to the properties that are actually observed in the Na$_x$CoO$_2$ system. For example, we show that the anomalous thermopower and Hall effect observed in Na$_{0.7}$CoO$_2$ may be interpreted along these lines. If the repulsion is strong, it can also lead to charge order; nevertheless, away from the commensurate dopings, the configurational constraints allow some mobility for the charge carriers, i.e., there remains some ``metallic'' component. Finally, the particularly strong bandwidth suppression around the commensurate $x=1/3$ can help resurrect the RVB superconductivity, which would otherwise not be expected near this high doping. These suggestions are demonstrated specifically for a $tJ$-like model with an additional nearest neighbor repulsion.
