description: Only 9% of elementary school teachers are currently male, despite the fact that men make up roughly half of the United States population. This under-representation of male elementary teachers presents many questions and challenges for schools and society. This study hopes to further educators’ understandings of some of the specific challenges that male elementary school teachers confront in their daily lives as well as of their insights and suggestions to address such. This study posits the importance of these educators’ being able to share their thoughts, perceptions, and questions about their work, including how they have tended to position themselves as male elementary school teachers. Using qualitative research methods, eight male elementary teachers (retired, veteran, experienced, and novices) were interviewed in order to examine their perspectives and assumptions regarding “maleness” as well as the factors that primarily have impacted their decisions to remain teaching at the elementary level. Analyses and interpretations of participants’ responses yielded recommendations for attending to these insights in order to inform teaching recruitment, induction, and varied other policy decisions.
Particles and Anti-Particles in a Relativistic Bose Condensate

description: We study the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) for a relativistic ideal gas of bosons. In the framework of canonical thermal field theory, we analyze the role of particles and anti-particles in the determination of BEC transition temperature. At the BEC transition point we obtain two universal curves, i.e. valid for any mass value: the scaled critical temperature as a function of the scaled charge density of the Bose system, and the density ratio of anti-particles versus the scaled critical temperature. Moreover, we numerically investigate charge densities and condensed fraction ranging from the non-relativistic to the ultra-relativistic temperature, where analytical results are obtained.

Ferroptosis: A Novel Form of Cancer Cell Death Induced by the Small Molecule Erastin

description: In multicellular organisms, proper control of cell death is important for processes such as embryonic development and turnover of adult tissues. Misregulation of cell death contributes to many diseases, including cancer. Human cancers frequently show defects in their ability to initiate or execute apoptotic cell death, making them resistant to many currently available chemotherapeutic agents that target apoptosis. It is therefore of interest to discover alternative cell death programs that may be exploited to specifically eliminate tumor cells. This thesis defines a new form of cancer cell death induced by the small molecule erastin. Erastin is a quinazolinone derivative that was originally identified in a screen for small molecules that are synthetic lethal with the RAS oncogene. In cancer cells with oncogenic RAS-RAF-MEK signaling, erastin induces an iron-dependent, oxidative cell death that lacks hallmarks of classical apoptosis. We refer to this type of cell death as ferroptosis. In this thesis I characterize ferroptosis with respect to other cell death phenotypes and find that it is distinct from previously described cell death paradigms such as apoptosis, autophagic cell death, accidental necrosis, and various forms of programmed necrosis. Ferroptosis involves generation of death-inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS), and I show that this ROS production depends upon activity of NADPH oxidase-1 and pentose phosphate pathway-derived NADPH.

Entanglement between dependent degrees of freedom: Quasiparticle correlations

description: Common notions of entanglement are based on well-separated subsystems. However, obtaining such independent degrees of freedom is not always possible because of physical constraints. In this work, we explore the notion of entanglement in the context of dependent degrees of freedom. As a physically relevant application, we specifically study quantum correlation features for quasiparticle descriptions. Those are paramount for interacting light-matter systems, utilizing excitations of fermion-boson hybrid modes. By comparing independent and dependent degrees of freedom, we uncover that certain states are nonentangled although they would be entangled when only focusing on the common, independent description, and vice versa. Therefore, insight is provided into the resourcefulness of quantum correlations within the rarely discussed context of dependent degrees of freedom for light-matter links in quantum information applications.

Fictions of Authorship: Literary Modernity and the Cultural Politics of the Author in Late Qing and Republican China
Creators: Sun, Myra
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Literature
History
Authorship
Chinese literature

description: Between the founding of the Republic in 1912 and the 1937 outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, an unprecedented pooling of cultural, technological, and financial resources centered around a concept of authorship as the work of a modern, individuated creator.  The emergent figure of the author, as a new centerpiece in the reception of both traditional vernacular fiction and New Literature alike, was first and foremost an unfolding literary event throughout the 1920s, which simultaneously gained enough social and institutional traction to quickly spread across various other fields of cultural production by the late 1930s.  However, despite its status as a historical construct, the author-centered model of interpretation and analysis remains the least interrogated and historicized assumption in the scholarship and pedagogy of modern Chinese literature.
      In approaching this problem, I propose “fictions of authorship” as a conceptual framework to account for the different domains of cultural formation in which discourses of authorship obtained relevance in early 20th century China.  Additionally, the framework is also useful for registering different historical moments of author-making.  The most recent of such moments, and the object of study in this dissertation, can be characterized by major shifts within lateral and hierarchical organizations of textual labors from the late Qing onwards.  Moreover, this particular episode of the modern author articulates a critical redistribution of symbolic power amongst appearing (and disappearing) literary agents, from which authorship emerged as the most authoritative form of creative labor.
      Fabulations of the modern author was as much about ushering in new concepts and practices of literature as it was about the death of traditional literati institutions and modes of knowledge production.  Beginning with the introduction of modern punctuation initiated in 1916, the erasure of fiction commentary from canonical vernacular novels throughout the subsequent decade, followed by the New Literatures of 1920s and early 1930s, this dissertation traces the emergence of the author through developments in theories of reading and literary criticism, the temporal structures of paratextual practice, discourses of creativity and writing, and legal codifications of copyright.  I argue that the notion of individuated authorship competed with other collaborative or collective forms of textual labor—if not in actual practice, then certainly in their institutional articulations and the professionalization of various textual roles.  Taken together, these historical processes of negotiation and reorganization manifest a “fiction of authorship” that illuminates both productive and constraining dimensions of the literary reform agenda in China’s struggle for nationhood during the early 20th century.

description: In this Letter, we study a previously unexplored class of topological states protected by hidden chiral symmetries that are local, that is, that protect against any off-diagonal disorder. We derive their related topological invariant for the first time, and show that these previously unidentified symmetries can act together with standard chiral symmetries to increase the protection of the end modes, using the Creutz ladder as an example. Finally, thanks to local hidden symmetries, we show that the diamond necklace chain can have three different types of topological end modes: strong, weak or square-root, with some of the states inheriting their topology from others. This marks the first time a square-root topological insulator is identified as its own parent.

description: Individuals involved in common group activities/settings -- e.g., college students that are enrolled in the same class and/or live in the same dorm -- are exposed to recurrent contacts of physical proximity. These contacts are known to mediate the spread of an infectious disease, however, it is not obvious how the properties of the spreading process are determined by the structure of and the interrelation among the group settings that are at the root of those recurrent interactions. Here, we show that reshaping the organization of groups within a population can be used as an effective strategy to decrease the severity of an epidemic. Specifically, we show that when group structures are sufficiently correlated -- e.g., the likelihood for two students living in the same dorm to attend the same class is sufficiently high -- outbreaks are longer but milder than for uncorrelated group structures. Also, we show that the effectiveness of interventions for disease containment increases as the correlation among group structures increases. We demonstrate the practical relevance of our findings by taking advantage of data about housing and attendance of students at the Indiana University campus in Bloomington. By appropriately optimizing the assignment of students to dorms based on their enrollment, we are able to observe a two- to five-fold reduction in the severity of simulated epidemic processes.

Fiber-optic probe and bulk-optics Spectral Domain Optical Coherence tomography systems for in vivo cochlear mechanics measurements

description: Acquiring the motions of the inner ear sensory tissues provides insight to how the cochlea works. For this purpose, Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SDOCT) is an ideal tool as it has a penetration depth of several millimeters. SDOCT can not only image inside the cochlear partition, but also measure the sample structures’ simultaneous displacements. We customized a commercial Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography system for such functions and detailed the software and hardware steps so this powerful system could be more accessible to auditory researchers.
      The cochlea is surrounded by bones and tissues, and damage to it would make it passive. For this reason, cochlear vibrometry measuring locations have been limited to either the basal or apical regions. That is why I fabricated a two-dimensional scanning SDOCT-based probe, to access more cochlear locations through a small hand-drilled hole. What is exciting about the probe is that an electrode can be attached to its side to acquire spatially and temporally coincident voltage and displacement data. This would help us better understand the cochlear mechano-electrical feedback process.
      Lastly, I investigated how the SDPM-reported displacement could be influenced by its neighboring signals and demonstrated this signal competition phenomenon experimentally and theoretically.

description: We derive uniform approximations for contributions to Gutzwiller's periodic-orbit sum for the spectral density which are valid close to bifurcations of periodic orbits in systems with mixed phase space. There, orbits lie close together and give collective contributions, while the individual contributions of Gutzwiller's type would diverge at the bifurcation. New results for the tangent, the period doubling and the period tripling bifurcation are given. They are obtained by going beyond the local approximation and including higher order terms in the normal form of the action. The uniform approximations obtained are tested on the kicked top and are found to be in excellent agreement with exact quantum results.

description: Recent data from the Federal Highway Administration highlights an alarming increase in fatalities and injuries in roadway work zones, emphasizing the need for enhanced worker safety measures. This study addresses this concern by evaluating stress levels among roadway workers equipped with AR-assisted multi-sensory warning technology during varying work intensities. The research leverages a high-fidelity Virtual Reality environment to simulate realistic work scenarios, enabling safe evaluation of high-risk situations. Unlike previous studies focusing on external factors, this research investigates the internal physiological impact on workers. Utilizing wearable sensors, the study collected physiological data, including photoplethysmography (PPG), electrodermal activity (EDA), and skin temperature (ST), to assess stress levels continuously and non-invasively. Our findings from 18 participants reveal significant differences between light- and medium-intensity activities in heart rate variability metrics. These metrics commonly used to assess autonomic nervous system function and stress levels, included mean heart rate, NN50, pNN50, and HF-HRV. By examining the relationship between AR-enabled warnings, work intensity, and stress levels, the study contributes to enhancing worker safety and well-being. The proposed methodology offers potential for active stress monitoring in the field, contributing to enhanced safety practices and worker productivity in construction sites. By providing real-time physiological data, this approach enables informed stress management and more effective hazard warning systems in roadway work zones. This research bridges a gap in understanding the physiological impacts of AR-assisted warnings on roadway workers. The insights gained from this study can inform future safety interventions and guide the development of more effective warning systems.

description: Spray drying is widely used for powder production from liquid concentrates. Often low input temperatures are desired, as many materials, like proteins, are sensitive to heat. However, this demand leads to increased concentrate viscosities. Commonly used pressure swirl atomizers are limited concerning maximum processible viscosity. In this study, a so called Air-Core-Liquid-Ring Atomizer is used for pilot scale spray drying of whey protein concentrate (WPC80) at 40 °C and hence a viscosity of 0.09 Pa s. The produced powder was compared to an industrially produced reference. As a result, no significant differences in particle size distribution and particle morphology were observed.

description: The plants of nano air vehicles (NAVs) are generally unstable, adversely coupled, and uncertain. Besides, the autopilot hardware of a NAV has limited sensing and computational capabilities. Hence, these vehicles need a single controller referred to as Robust Simultaneously Stabilizing Decoupling (RSSD) output feedback controller that achieves simultaneous stabilization, desired decoupling, robustness, and performance for a finite set of unstable multi-input-multi-output adversely coupled uncertain plants. To synthesize a RSSD output feedback controller, a new method that is based on a central plant is proposed in this paper. Given a finite set of plants for simultaneous stabilization, we considered a plant in this set that has the smallest maximum $v-$gap metric as the central plant. Following this, the sufficient condition for the existence of a simultaneous stabilizing controller associated with such a plant is described. The decoupling feature is then appended to this controller using the properties of the eigenstructure assignment method. Afterward, the sufficient conditions for the existence of a RSSD output feedback controller are obtained. Using these sufficient conditions, a new optimization problem for the synthesis of a RSSD output feedback controller is formulated. To solve this optimization problem, a new genetic algorithm based offline iterative algorithm is developed. The effectiveness of this iterative algorithm is then demonstrated by generating a RSSD controller for a fixed-wing nano air vehicle. The performance of this controller is validated through numerical and hardware-in-the-loop simulations.

While superficially different, this new definition is equivalent to the known definitions in terms of para-quaternionic or generalized geometries. We discuss integrability of Born structures and their associated connections. In particular we find that for integrable Born geometries the Born connection is obtained by a simple averaging under a conjugation from the Künneth connection. We also give examples of integrable Born geometries on nilmanifolds.

description: The thesis develops a series of field experiments on both the investor side and the startup side to understand both investors' investment preferences and entrepreneurs' collaboration preferences in the U.S. entrepreneurial financing system. On the investor side, Chapter 1 studies whether early stage investors are biased against female, Asian, and older startup founders using two complementary field experiments consisting of a correspondence test and an incentivized resume (IRR) rating experiment. Chapter 2 provides causal evidence of investors' general investment preferences for multiple startup characteristics, including both the human capital characteristics and the non-human capital characteristics, using the same experimental design. On the startup side, Chapter 3 studies whether startup founders are biased against female and Asian investors using a symmetric IRR experiment. Chapter 4 investigates how investor's human capital characteristics and funds' organizational capital characteristics affect founders' collaboration interest, which explains VC funds' performances through attraction of potential deal flows. These experiments constitute a field experimental system in the two-sided matching market, providing crucial causal evidence addressing several fundamental questions in the entrepreneurial finance literature.

description: To determine the social status of a person, Sorokin coined the idea of social space. This theme is useful in analyzing the relative position of a person in her/his group and her/his horizontal or vertical movement within and to other groups. Novel is a symbolic space, which makes possible for writers to construct the relative social status of characters. The position given to a character and her/his mobility may be studied considering Sorokin's ideas. It may help us in understanding the role of economy in achieving the agency implied by the social mobility in Umrao Jan Ada.

description: We discuss the symmetry decomposition of the average density of states for the two dimensional potential $V=x^2y^2$ and its three dimensional generalisation $V=x^2y^2+y^2z^2+z^2x^2$. In both problems, the energetically accessible phase space is non-compact due to the existence of infinite channels along the axes. It is known that in two dimensions the phase space volume is infinite in these channels thus yielding non-standard forms for the average density of states. Here we show that the channels also result in the symmetry decomposition having a much stronger effect than in potentials without channels, leading to terms which are essentially leading order. We verify these results numerically and also observe a peculiar numerical effect which we associate with the channels. In three dimensions, the volume of phase space is finite and the symmetry decomposition follows more closely that for generic potentials --- however there are still non-generic effects related to some of the group elements.

description: The performance of density functional theory depends largely on the approximation applied for the exchange functional. We propose here a novel screened exchange potential for semiconductors, with parameters based on the physical properties of the underlying microscopic screening and obeying the requirements for proper asymptotic behavior. We demonstrate that this functional is Koopmans-compliant and reproduces a wide range of band gaps. We also show, that the only tunable parameter of the functional can be kept constant upon changing the cation or the anion isovalently, making the approach suitable for treating alloys.

description: We construct and study various dual pairs between finite dimensional classical Lie groups and infinite dimensional Lie algebras in some Fock representations. The infinite dimensional Lie algebras here can be either a completed infinite rank affine Lie algebra, the $\winf$ algebra or its certain Lie subalgebras. We give a formulation in the framework of vertex algebras. We also formulate several conjectures and open problems.

title: Plastic Waste Management and Policy in the Fast Food Industry in Vietnam

description: The fast food industry (FFI) has been rapidly developing over the past few decades due to economic development and an increase in the "on the go" consumption culture. This industry consumes a considerable number of single-use items (SUIs), including single-use plastic items (SUPIs) and single-use paper items (SUPaIs), for the takeaway culture, which treats plastics as waste rather than a valuable resource. The frequent use of SUPIs leads to a significant amount of plastic waste ending up in the ocean. Within this context, Vietnam is one of the focus countries contributing considerably to plastic ocean (Akenji et al., 2019b). While regulations and policy interventions related to plastic packaging waste or SUPIs in the FFI have been limited, research into SUPIs in the FFI also has not been undertaken in Vietnam. This research aims to improve plastic waste management and the use and disposal of SUPIs in the FFI in Vietnam. First, the research reviewed intervention policies on the management of SUPIs in selected regions (the EU, Singapore, India, Indonesia) to recommend policy measures to manage plastic waste in the FFI in Vietnam. Second, this research determined the components and weight of SUPIs consumed and disposed of in the FFI in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam. The results show that six fast food companies (Lotteria, KFC, Jollibee, Popeyes, Texas Chicken, and McDonald's) in HCMC generated approximately six tons of waste per day. Among them, SUPIs presented from 1.1 t/d to 2.2 t/d and SUPaIs were around 1.4 t/d to 1.6 t/d. Third, the research also surveyed 273 customers and 77 managers on their Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) about the use and the disposal of SUPIs in the FFI in HCMC, with the results showing that the knowledge of customers and managers about the impacts of the use of SUPIs on the environment is positive but still limited. The next step, the research examined key stakeholders' choices on the recommended policy measures for SUPIs in the FFI, which were implicated from the first, second, and third objectives of the thesis. This fourth objective of the thesis was carried out by interviewing 37 people in five stakeholder groups (customers, restaurant managers in FFI, plastic manufacturers, and policymakers). Finally, the research also calculated the impacts of the two recommended policy interventions, including ceasing the use of the identified unnecessary SUPIs in the six studied FFCs and standardising the weight of each type of SUPI in the FFI. Consequently, the study is optimistic that by adopting the policy recommendations, a substantial amount of plastic waste which is currently being generated by the FFI and released into the environment each year will be prevented.

description: Since manually writing software exploits for offensive security is time-consuming and requires expert knowledge, AI-base code generators are an attractive solution to enhance security analysts' productivity by automatically crafting exploits for security testing. However, the variability in the natural language and technical skills used to describe offensive code poses unique challenges to their robustness and applicability. In this work, we present a method to add perturbations to the code descriptions to create new inputs in natural language (NL) from well-intentioned developers that diverge from the original ones due to the use of new words or because they miss part of them. The goal is to analyze how and to what extent perturbations affect the performance of AI code generators in the context of offensive code. First, we show that perturbed descriptions preserve the semantics of the original, non-perturbed ones. Then, we use the method to assess the robustness of three state-of-the-art code generators against the newly perturbed inputs, showing that the performance of these AI-based solutions is highly affected by perturbations in the NL descriptions. To enhance their robustness, we use the method to perform data augmentation, i.e., to increase the variability and diversity of the NL descriptions in the training data, proving its effectiveness against both perturbed and non-perturbed code descriptions.

Diffractive point sets with entropy

description: After a brief historical survey, the paper introduces the notion of entropic model sets (cut and project sets), and, more generally, the notion of diffractive point sets with entropy. Such sets may be thought of as generalizations of lattice gases. We show that taking the site occupation of a model set stochastically results, with probabilistic certainty, in well-defined diffractive properties augmented by a constant diffuse background. We discuss both the case of independent, but identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables and that of independent, but different (i.e., site dependent) random variables. Several examples are shown.

description: We evaluate the implications of LHC and LEP/SLC measurements for the electro-weak couplings of the top and bottom quarks. We derive global bounds on the Wilson coefficients of ten two-fermion operators in an effective field theory description. The combination of hadron collider data with $Z$-pole measurements is found to yield tight limits on the operator coefficients that modify the left-handed couplings of the bottom and top quark to the $Z$ boson. We also present projections for the high-luminosity phase of the LHC and for future electron-positron colliders. The bounds on the operator coefficients are expected to improve substantially during the remaining LHC programme, by factors of $1$ to $5$ if systematic uncertainties are scaled as statistical ones. The operation of an $e^+e^-$ collider at a center-of-mass energy above the top-quark pair production threshold is expected to further improve the bounds by one to two orders of magnitude. The combination of measurements in $pp$ and $e^+e^-$ collisions allows for a percent-level determination of the top-quark Yukawa coupling, that is robust in a global fit.

description: We consider phase turbulent regimes with nonzero winding number in the one-dimensional Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. We find that phase turbulent states with winding number larger than a critical one are only transients and decay to states within a range of allowed winding numbers. The analogy with the Eckhaus instability for non-turbulent waves is stressed. The transition from phase to defect turbulence is interpreted as an ergodicity breaking transition which occurs when the range of allowed winding numbers vanishes. We explain the states reached at long times in terms of three basic states, namely quasiperiodic states, frozen turbulence states, and riding turbulence states. Justification and some insight into them is obtained from an analysis of a phase equation for nonzero winding number: rigidly moving solutions of this equation, which correspond to quasiperiodic and frozen turbulence states, are understood in terms of periodic and chaotic solutions of an associated system of ordinary differential equations. A short report of some of our results has been published in [Montagne et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 267 (1996)].
