description: We study four-dimensional N=1 gauge theories arising on D3-branes probing toric singularities. Toric dualities and flows between theories corresponding to different singularities are analyzed by encoding the geometric information into (p,q) webs. A new method for identifying global symmetries of the four-dimensional theories using the brane webs is developed. Five-dimensional theories are associated to the theories on the D3-branes by using (p,q) webs. This leads to a novel interpretation of Seiberg duality, as crossing curves of marginal stability in five dimensions.

description: Abstract

The demands of learning in the Society 5.0 era have brought the learning system in Indonesia to e-learning and are currently transforming into Hybrid Learning. Hybrid Learning is learning with 50% face-to-face and the other 50% using online. This study aims to determine the relationship between Learning Motivation, Socialization Ability and Digital Literacy with Hybrid Learning Outcomes. This research was conducted on the Akhlak Tasawuf course at the Tarbiyah Bustanul Ulum College of Science, Central Lampung. The sample selected based on the purposive sampling technique was 108 samples and was considered capable of representing the population. Data analysis used correlation tests and F tests with SPSS version 25. The results in this study were the Sig. value. 0.000 <0.05, it can be concluded that Learning Motivation, Socialization Ability, Digital Literacy have a significant relationship with Hybrid Learning Outcomes simultaneously. This is reinforced by the results of the ANOVA test which produced a calculated F value of 125.911 > F Table 2.69. In the hybrid learning process, increasing learning motivation, socialization ability and digital literacy is very necessary. The need for cooperation between students, teaching staff and the government in providing socialization in order to produce maximum and responsible learning outcomes.
Finite genus solutions for the Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The question of constructing the finite genus quasiperiodic solutions for the Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy (ALH) is considered by establishing relations between the ALH and the Fay's identity for the theta-functions. It is shown that using a limiting procedure one can derive from the latter an infinite number of differential identities which can be arranged as an infinite set of differential-difference equations coinciding with the equations of the ALH, and that the original Fay's identity can be rewritten in a form similar to the functional equations representing the ALH which have been derived in the previous works of the author. This provides an algorithm for obtaining some class of quasiperiodic solutions for the ALH, which can be viewed as an alternative to the inverse scattering transform or the algebro-geometrical approach.

description: This project consists of three distinct, but sequential studies that explore the psychological factors and neuropathological substrates of metacognition or self-awareness among older adults. Study 1 examines the premorbid, psychological characteristics associated with metamemory—the mainstay of metacognitive research—in a healthy, community-dwelling cohort of older adults. Study 2 builds on these analyses, and examines the psychological characteristics associated with metacognition, more broadly, in a neurologic cohort of older adults with Essential Tremor (ET). Study 3, which utilizes post-mortem evaluations of participants from Study 2, goes beyond premorbid characteristics and examines whether distortions in metacognition are in part attributable to an underlying disease process. Findings demonstrated that psychological characteristics were associated with metacognitive accuracy in a healthy, community-dwelling cohort of older adults, but not among individuals with ET; further, distortions in metacognition among individuals with ET were better attributable to non-ET specific pathologies, such as amyloid β, neurofibrillary tangles, and regional-specific atrophy. This project underscores the importance of employing a biopsychosocial approach to understanding the factors that influence metacognition. Ultimately, by understanding and working effectively with awareness phenomena, there is a strong potential to reduce disability and enhance well-being.
The Psychology of Repression and Dissent in Autocracy

description: How do autocrats maintain power? In many cases, autocrats lack the support of a majority of the population. This problem is particularly stark in electoral autocracies, where autocrats must generate millions of favorable votes in order to stay in power. Coercion, or the forcible exclusion of some segments of the population from power, is one tool that many autocrats use to solve this problem. However, creating coercive institutions is also dangerous for autocrats, as the same forces that can be used to coerce citizens can also be used to depose or demand resources from the autocrat himself.
      In the first paper, I contend that autocracies can use the psychological effects of fear to coerce citizens at a lower cost and at lower personal risk. This psychological theory of autocratic coercion has two core implications that I test. First, I use a lab-in-the-field experiment to show that the emotion of fear reduces participation in pro-democracy action, and that this may work through its effects on perceptions of risk and risk attitudes. Second, I show using correlational evidence that propensity to feel fear predicts variation in participation in dissent.
      In the second paper, I examine how poverty conditions the way that citizens respond to the threat of coercion. I argue that poverty may make coercion more effective in reducing citizen dissent both by making citizens more prone to fear, and by increasing their physical vulnerability to violence. I test this prediction at the individual and constituency level using data on public opinion and voting in Zimbabwe, drawing on random variation in recent exposure to violence and poverty.
      The third paper tests whether emotions can also be used by activists to increase dissent among citizens with anti-regime preferences. I partnered with an opposition party that ran an experimental test of angry against enthusiastic campaign messages using video and images sent out via mobile phone chat groups. Analysis of the transcripts of these groups shows that the anger appeals generated significantly more pro-opposition participation in the groups. There is some evidence that anger was most effective in constituencies that had experienced violence in the past.

description: Cosmic rays are the most outstanding example of accelerated particles. They are about 1\% of the total mass of the Universe, so that cosmic rays would represent by far the most important energy transformation process of the Universe. Despite large progresses in building new detectors and in the analysis techniques, the key questions concerning origin, acceleration and propagation of the radiation are still open. One of the reasons is that there are significant discrepancies among the different results obtained by experiments located at ground probably due to unknown systematic errors affecting the measurements. In this note we will focus on detection of Galactic CRs from ground with EAS arrays. This is not a place for a complete review of CR physics (for which we recommend, for instance \cite{spurio,gaisser,grieder,longair,kampert,blasi,kachelriess}) but only to provide elements useful to understand the basic techniques used in reconstructing primary particle characteristics (energy, mass and arrival direction) from ground, and to show why indirect measurements are difficult and results still conflicting.

description: Theorems on the emission of massless scalar particles by the CGHS black hole are presented. The convergence of the mean number of particles created spontaneously in an arbitrary state is studied and shown to be strongly dependent on the infrared behavior of this state. A bound for this quantity is given and its asymptotic forms close to the horizon and far from the black hole are investigated. The physics of a wave packet is analysed in some detail in the black-hole background. It is also shown that for some states the mean number of created particles is not thermal close to the horizon. These states have a long queue extending far from the black hole, or are unlocalised in configuration space.

The Psychotechnical Architect: Perception, Vocation, and the Laboratory Cultures of Modernity, 1914–1945

description: The opening decades of the twentieth century saw the marked rise of three interrelated fields—applied psychology, vocational education, and occupational therapy. This dissertation explores the effects of these emerging fields on architectural modernism, as it turned to perceptual science and vocational bureaucracy as a means to judge not just design but designers. This took shape especially in a field known as psychotechnics, a discipline that blended industrial management with applied psychology and was a central but understudied legacy of the First World War. This research explores the links between architectural design (in practice and pedagogy) and the emergent bureaucracies of vocational placement and occupational therapy in the Soviet Union, the United States, and Germany, showing the sympathies between psychophysiological research (particularly that of Hugo Münsterberg) and the designs and teaching methods of figures like Nikolai Ladovsky, Moisei Ginzburg, Hannes Meyer, and László Moholy-Nagy. In the search for a modernism beyond the formal precepts of the “modern movement,” the architectural laboratory became a central scene of action, grounding architectural production in new models of research that redefined architecture’s status as a discipline.

      Each chapter traces a particular thread of this encounter between psychotechnics and architecture. Chapter One explores its implications for pedagogy, exploring the influence of applied psychology (explicit and latent) in two much-discussed sites of interwar European architectural education, the Bauhaus in Dessau (particularly under Meyer) and VKhUTEMAS in Moscow, where Ladovsky instituted a Psychotechnical Laboratory of Architecture. Chapter Two asks whether Münsterberg’s psychotechnical work on distinctly urban occupations, notably those having to do with operating vehicles, implies something of a theory of the city, tracing the influence of psychotechnics in projects of urban design, whether by the Soviet ARU or in the planning of the German Autobahn. Chapter Three focuses on an emerging understanding of disability in the years following the First World War, asserting that the new fields of rehabilitation and occupational therapy are unspoken but central participants in shaping the modernisms of figures like Moholy-Nagy. What these episodes illuminate is a vision of an architecture whose modernity is not defined on the visual or technological grounds of the building, but rather in the nature of architectural “work” itself, understood in the aftermath of the First World War on a newly vocational basis.

description: The macrophage activation markers, soluble CD163 (sCD163) and soluble mannose receptor (sMR), are associated with liver disease severity and prognosis. We aimed to investigate macrophage activation reflected by sMR and sCD163 in patients with mild and severe paracetamol (PCM) intoxication and effects of antidote treatment in patients and healthy controls. We measured sMR and sCD163 levels by in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in two independent prospective cohorts of PCM overdosed patients: 49 patients with early mild PCM overdose from Aarhus University Hospital and 30 patients with severe acute liver injury included at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. Furthermore, we investigated sMR and sCD163 in 14 healthy controls during N-acetylcysteine treatment. Within the mild PCM cohort, patients with elevated alanine transaminase on admission had significantly higher levels of sCD163 compared with patients with normal alanine transaminase (2.92[2.00–5.75] versus 1.29[1.02–1.69] mg/L, p = .009), whereas sMR showed no significant difference. In patients with acute liver injury, both markers were markedly higher compared to the mild PCM cohort (sCD163: 10.73[5.79–14.62] versus 1.34[1.06–1.96], p p Trial registration:ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03679442.

Quantum parameter-estimation of frequency and damping of a harmonic-oscillator

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We determine the quantum Cramér-Rao bound for the precision with which the oscillator frequency and damping constant of a damped quantum harmonic oscillator in an arbitrary Gaussian state can be estimated. This goes beyond standard quantum parameter estimation of a single mode Gaussian state for which typically a mode of fixed frequency is assumed. We present a scheme through which the frequency estimation can nevertheless be based on the known results for single-mode quantum parameter estimation with Gaussian states. Based on these results, we investigate the optimal measurement time. For measuring the oscillator frequency, our results unify previously known partial results and constitute an explicit solution for a general single-mode Gaussian state. Furthermore, we show that with existing carbon nanotube resonators (see J. Chaste et al.~Nature Nanotechnology 7, 301 (2012)) it should be possible to achieve a mass sensitivity of the order of an electron mass $\text{Hz}^{-1/2}$.

The Questioni d’Amore Reconsidered: Contextualizing Boccaccio’s Amatory Manual

Subjects: Italian literature

description: This dissertation focuses on Giovanni Boccaccio’s questioni d’amore, a text that, despite its immense richness, has been overlooked within the field of Boccaccio studies. It has been the subject of surprisingly little scholarship, and the sparse work that has been done on them has relegated them to tight and unimaginative spaces. This project, which seeks to fill this critical lacuna, is innovative in three respects: it is the first study to consider all thirteen questioni individually; it offers a new, essential translation of the questioni; and it is the only analysis to date that considers the questioni through a historicizing lens. To this end, I conduct a detailed analysis of the questioni that is contextualized by social history and supplemented with relevant literary intertexts. This study ultimately demonstrates the considerable social, legal, and literary significance of the questioni d’amore and provides new perspectives on Boccaccio’s authorial trajectory and intellectual interests.

description: Determination of the particle charge in aerosols and dusty plasmas requires an accurate calculation of the particle-ion collision kernel taking into account the particle-ion Coulombic coupling and ion-neutral gas molecule collisions. While the effect of Coulombic interactions of any strength is described accurately in the continuum limit and free molecular limit, an accurate physical description at intermediate collisional regimes remains elusive. Specifically, the Coulomb influenced collisions between oppositely charged particles and ions have evaded accurate theoretical description in the past. We use Langevin dynamics (LD) calculations to infer the non-dimensional collision kernel H as a function of the electrostatic potential energy to thermal energy ratio ΨE and the diffusive Knudsen number KnD, the index of ion-neutral collisionality in a finite pressure system. The LD approach yields a simple, approximate treatment of particle charging in the entire ion-neutral collision regime under the assumption that Z≡mimg→∞, where mi is the mass of an ion and mg is the mass of the background gas molecules. We show that the Gumbel distribution accurately describes the underlying distribution of H calculated using LD. The effect of high ion concentrations (at which screening of particle by free charges in space is important) on H is parameterized through a non-dimensional screening length parameter SD. Analysis of the dependence of the distribution parameters on ΨE, KnD, and SD leads to a regression for H that is valid for 0<ΨE≤60 and KnD≤2000 plasmas. Inter-comparison of current model with select models from the literature shows that the current model and the model published by Gatti and Kortshagen (that assumes Z→0) yield similar predictions for a wide range of ΨE, KnD, and SD.

description: Mangano-manganic oxide can be prepared through thermal decomposition of manganese sulfate from the absorption or leaching solution, so desulfurization by pyrolusite or leaching pyrolusite with sulfur dioxide should be fully exploited for the recovery of manganese salt. However, upon preparing MnSO4 using above techniques, manganese dithionate is an inevitable by-product, which lowers the purity of the industrial raw material MnSO4 and exerts negative influences on pyrolysis technology. Information regarding thermal decomposition of solid-state manganese dithionate is scarce. To recycle manganese dithionate efficiently, pyrolysis mechanism and kinetics were systematically investigated by thermal decomposition method. The characteristics of thermal decomposition products were determined by thermogravimetric analysis techniques (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Ion chromatography (IC). The experimental results revealed that both desulfurization and following dehydration of MnS2O6·H2O were a one-step process, and the desulfurization occurred at about 150°C lower than the dehydration at 230°C. As increasing pyrolysis temperature to 900°C, the manganese sulfate was firstly formed, and to 1100°C, Mangano-manganic oxide was obtained by losing sulfur oxides. Consequently, the kinetic parameters for each decomposition steps of manganese dithionate were determined by the Coasts and Redfern (CR) integral method. The as-obtained experimental and kinetic results may provide theoretical guides for recycling manganese dithionate.

Bridging clinical practice and research in the hospital setting: Exploring the endless possibilities
Creators: name: Lauck, Sandra B.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: As a practice discipline with an emerging research tradition, nursing is challenged to remain grounded in the clinical setting while building means to contribute to scientific evidence. The creation of new knowledge does not on its own lead to widespread implementation and impact on health outcomes. The hospital setting presents multiple opportunities for researchers to engage in projects amenable to rapid knowledge translation, by addressing issues ranging from innovations in practice, care processes to outcome measurement. This presentation will explore the opportunities and challenges of bridging clinical practice and research in the hospital setting by engaging in a dynamic and iterative process to promote research dissemination and exchange. I will explore how a research question that originated from a nursing staff meeting in a cardiology centre was developed into a Master’s thesis project, and how the findings were translated into changes in clinical practice. Other examples will include research projects aimed at informing the development of clinical practice guidelines for survivors of sudden cardiac death, incorporating the measurement of neurocognitive outcomes and quality of life in frail elderly patients undergoing innovative cardiac procedures, and highlighting patient-reported outcomes in cardiac device care. By discussing the mechanisms that facilitate the transfer of knowledge “from thesis to bedside”, I will highlight opportunities and recommendations to integrate knowledge translation by identifying questions of interest to stakeholders, adapting knowledge development to the local context, assessing and addressing the potential barriers to knowledge use, selecting, tailoring and implementing interventions, and sustaining knowledge use. This presentation will invite debate on how to optimize the rapid impact of research on patient care.

description: The Atiyah-Singer index theorem is investigated on various compact manifolds which admit finite matrix approximations (``fuzzy spaces'') with a view to applications in a modified Kaluza-Klein type approach in which the internal space consists of a finite number of points. Motivated by the chiral nature of the standard model spectrum we investigate manifolds that do not admit spinors but do admit $Spin^c$ structures. It is shown that, by twisting with appropriate bundles, one generation of the electroweak sector of the standard model, including a right-handed neutrino, can be obtained in this way from the complex projective space $\CP^2$. The unitary Grassmannian $U(5)/(U(3)\times U(2))$ yields a spectrum that contains the correct charges for the Fermions of the standard model, with varying multiplicities for the different particle states.

description: The rapid proliferation of online content producing and sharing technologies resulted in an explosion of user-generated content (UGC), which now extends to scientific data. Citizen science, in which ordinary people contribute information for scientific research, epitomizes UGC. Citizen science projects are typically open to everyone, engage diverse audiences, and challenge ordinary people to produce data of highest quality to be usable in science. This also makes citizen science a very exciting area to study both traditional and innovative approaches to information quality management. With this paper we position citizen science as a leading information quality research frontier. We also show how citizen science opens a unique opportunity for the information systems community to contribute to a broad range of disciplines in natural and social sciences and humanities.

The inclusion of the most comprehensive dijet cross section data, together with their NNLO predictions, provide enhanced constraints to the gluon component of the DPDF, which is of particular importance for diffractive PDFs. Compared to previous HERA fits, the presented fit includes the high-precision HERA-II data of the H1 collaboration, which corresponds to a 40-fold increase in luminosity for inclusive data (six-fold increase for jet data). In addition to the inclusive sample at nominal centre-of-mass energy sqrt(s)=319, inclusive H1 data at 252 and 225 GeV are included. The extracted DPDFs are compared to previous DPDF fits, and are used to predict cross sections for a large number of available measurements and different observables.

description: My dissertation addresses the question "do desires provide reasons?" I present two independent lines of argument in support of the conclusion that they do not. The first line of argument emerges from the way I circumscribe the concept of a desire. Complications aside, I conceive of a desire as a member of a family of attitudes that have imperative content, understood as content that displays doability-conditions rather than truth-conditions. Moreover, I hold that an attitude may provide reasons only if it has truth-evaluable content. Insofar as desires lack truth-evaluable content, I hold that the content of a desire has the wrong kind of logical structure to provide reasons. My second line of argument claims that even if a desire did have truth-evaluable content, it would not follow that desires provide reasons. This is because a desire has no more rational significance than a guess or coin-flip. My argument relies on what I call the non-substitutability principle, the thesis that (all things being equal) one cannot substitute something that lacks rational significance, relative to some attitude, A, for something that has rational significance, relative to A, and leave the rational standing of A unchanged. For example, one cannot substitute the guess that P (i.e., something that lacks rational significance relative to the belief that P) for the perception that P (i.e., something that is rationally significant relative to the belief that P) without altering the rational standing of the belief. I argue that when the non-substitutability principle is applied to a desire that gives rise to an intention, it turns out that one can always substitute a guess or coin-flip (i.e., something that lacks rational significance relative to the intention) for the desire, without altering the rational standing of the intention. I take this to show that desires are not rationally significant relative to the intentions to which they give

description: Consider a semi-infinite skew-symmetric moment matrix, $m_{\iy}$ evolving according to the vector fields $\pl m / \pl t_k=\Lb^k m+m \Lb^{\top k} ,$ where $\Lb$ is the shift matrix. Then the skew-Borel decomposition $ m_{\iy}:= Q^{-1} J Q^{\top -1} $ leads to the so-called Pfaff Lattice, which is integrable, by virtue of the AKS theorem, for a splitting involving the affine symplectic algebra. The tau-functions for the system are shown to be pfaffians and the wave vectors skew-orthogonal polynomials; we give their explicit form in terms of moments. This system plays an important role in symmetric and symplectic matrix models and in the theory of random matrices (beta=1 or 4).

description: The interface effects play important roles for the properties of strange quark matter (SQM) and the related physical processes. We show several examples on the implications of interface effects for both stable and unstable SQM. Based on an equivparticle model and adopting mean-field approximation (MFA), the surface tension and curvature term of SQM can be obtained, which are increasing monotonically with the density of SQM at zero external pressure. For a parameter set constrained according to the 2$M_\odot$ strange star, we find the surface tension is $\sim$2.4 MeV/fm${}^2$, while it is larger for other cases.

description: Forty percent of all Texas public college students start at a community college and 75 percent earn at least some community college credits. Yet we have very little evidence about how students make transfer decisions and whether the policies meant to avoid credit loss, like the core curriculum, actually improve transfer success and degree attainment. In this study, we examine how community college students select which institutions to transfer to (research focus #1) and whether state transfer policies, like the core curriculum, impact student outcomes (research focus #2). Using ERC data on community college entrants, we examine track student transfer and progress. First, we examine proximal outcomes in the transfer process—investigating how students select their destination university. Second, we examine the relationship between credits accumulated under the core curriculum—a set of courses that, as mandated in state policy, are universally accepted at public colleges statewide, totaling up to 42 credits—and degree attainment among students who transferred from community colleges to public universities. By examining both student transfer behavior and the impact of policies meant to illuminate transfer pathways, this project stands to inform ongoing debates about how to best improve transfer policies in the state.

Large-scale periodic velocity oscillation in the filamentary cloud G350.54+0.69

description: We use APEX mapping observations of 13CO, and C18O (2-1) to investigate the internal gas kinematics of the filamentary cloud G350.54+0.69, composed of the two distinct filaments G350.5-N and G350.5-S. G350.54+0.69 as a whole is supersonic and gravitationally bound. We find a large-scale periodic velocity oscillation along the entire G350.5-N filament with a wavelength of ~1.3 pc and an amplitude of ~0.12 km/s. Comparing with gravitational-instability induced core formation models, we conjecture that this periodic velocity oscillation could be driven by a combination of longitudinal gravitational instability and a large-scale periodic physical oscillation along the filament. The latter may be an example of an MHD transverse wave. This hypothesis can be tested with Zeeman and dust polarization measurements.

description: Despite considerable advances made in broadening access to higher education, some evidence suggests that college completion rates have actually declined over time, and attainment gaps stemming from race/ethnicity and socioeconomic background have remained stubbornly persistent (Bound, Lovenheim, & Turner, 2010; National Center for Education Statistics, 2019). Colleges and universities are searching for ways to better identify students with lower odds of postsecondary success and develop programs to support their persistence and completion. A number of for- profit companies have developed proprietary software, such as “early warning systems,” that analyze student and institutional data to make those predictions. However, this software is not accessible to all institutions, and rarely do these companies disclose the nature, validity, or reliability of their algorithms. In this paper, we present collaborative research from four different states – Texas, New York, Virginia and Illinois – examining the feasibility and accuracy of models that predict students’ likelihood of degree completion using only administrative data on students’ pre-college characteristics and early college experiences. We employ fairly simple statistical methods on statewide longitudinal data systems (also known as student unit records systems or “SURDS”) to predict degree completion for undergraduate students. Importantly, our focus is on the overall predictive validity of these models, which is often neglected in educational research that focuses on relationships between student characteristics and degree completion (American Diploma Project, 2004; Adelman, 1997, 1999, 2006; Attewell, Heil & Reisel, 2011; Braxton, 2000; Chen & Carroll, 2005; Complete College America, 2011; Horn, Kojaku & Carroll, 2001; Tinto, 1994, 2012). Our results show that we can accurately predict students’ probability of graduating with such early SURDS indicators. This suggests that state agencies and organizations that house this longitudinal data could use it to make these types of predictive systems more accessible to colleges and universities, particularly those that do not have the in-house capacity to conduct these types of analyses. These systems could be used to help prioritize student supports and evaluate the efficacy of those interventions. The remainder of this brief more deeply discusses the data and methods used in this study, our results, and the significance of this work.
