description: Massive star-forming regions with observed infall motions are good sites for studying the birth of massive stars. In this paper, 405 compact sources have been extracted from the APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy (ATLASGAL) compact sources that also have been observed in the Millimetre Astronomy Legacy Team 90 GHz (MALT90) survey during Years 1 and 2. These observations are complemented with Spitzer GLIMPSE/MIPSGAL mid-IR survey data to help classify the elected star-forming clumps into three evolutionary stages: pre-stellar, proto-stellar and UCHII regions. The results suggest that 0.05 g cm$^{-2}$ is a reliable empirical lower bound for the clump surface densities required for massive-star formation to occur. The optically thick HCO$^{+}$(1-0) and HNC(1-0) lines, as well as the optically thin N$_{2}$H$^{+}$(1-0) line were used to search for infall motions toward these sources. By analyzing the asymmetries of the optically thick HCO$^{+}$(1-0) and HNC(1-0) lines and the mapping observations of HCO$^{+}$(1-0), a total of 131 reliable infall candidates have been identified. The HCO$^{+}$(1-0) line shows the highest occurrence of obvious asymmetric features, suggesting that it may be a better infall motion tracer than other lines such as HNC(1-0). The detection rates of infall candidates toward pre-stellar, proto-stellar and UCHII clumps are 0.3452, 0.3861 and 0.2152, respectively. The relatively high detection rate of infall candidates toward UCHII clumps indicates that many UCHII regions are still accreting matter. The peak column densities and masses of the infall candidates, in general, display a increasing trend with progressing evolutionary stages. However, the rough estimates of the mass infall rate show no obvious variation with evolutionary stage.

description: While recent supernova cosmology research has benefited from improved measurements, current analysis approaches are not statistically optimal and will prove insufficient for future surveys. This paper discusses the limitations of current supernova cosmological analyses in treating outliers, selection effects, shape- and color-standardization relations, unexplained dispersion, and heterogeneous observations. We present a new Bayesian framework, called UNITY (Unified Nonlinear Inference for Type-Ia cosmologY), that incorporates significant improvements in our ability to confront these effects. We apply the framework to real supernova observations and demonstrate smaller statistical and systematic uncertainties. We verify earlier results that SNe Ia require nonlinear shape and color standardizations, but we now include these nonlinear relations in a statistically well-justified way. This analysis was primarily performed blinded, in that the basic framework was first validated on simulated data before transitioning to real data. We also discuss possible extensions of the method.

description: Synthetic spin-orbit coupling in cold atoms couples the pseudo-spin and spatial degrees of freedom, and therefore the inherent spin symmetry of the system plays an important role. In systems of two pseudo-spin degrees, two particles contain symmetric states and anti-symmetric states, but the spin symmetry can be mixed for more particles. This mixed spin symmetry has been overlooked and has not been investigated thoroughly. We study the role of mixed spin symmetry in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and consider the system of three bosons with two hyper-fine states trapped in a harmonic potential. We investigate the ground state and the energy spectrum by implementing exact diagonalization. Similarly to two-particle systems, the interplay between spin-orbit coupling and repulsive interactions between anti-aligned pseudo-spins increases the population of the unaligned spin components in the ground state. Also, the emergence of the mixed spin symmetric states compensates for the rise of the interaction energy. In contrast to two-particle systems, the pair correlation of the ground state is analogous to the Tonks-Girardeau gas even for relatively small contact interactions, and this feature is enhanced by the spin-orbit coupling.

Choice-Related Stress and Depression in Emerging Adulthood
Creators: name: Davis, Kelly Marie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Emerging adulthood is a time period of increased autonomy and decision-making in adults following adolescence. During this time period, there is a heightened presence of mental health symptoms. Distress related to making decisions can sometime stifle individual growth and achievement. While it is supported that stress can contribute to depression, relationships between choice-related stress and depression have not been examined. This study aims to assess how stress stemming from choice is related to depressive symptom outcomes of emerging adults. University students (N=854) answered questionnaires to assess anxiety, depression, substance use, peer relations, and externalizing behaviors. Simple regression analysis supports that choice-related stress related from traditional “coming of age” decisions is correlated with depression, and higher identity consolidation is associated with lower reported depressive symptoms. Considerations for mental health and rehabilitation counselors and directions for future research are discussed.
Galaxy power spectrum in redshift space: combining perturbation theory with the halo model

description: Theoretical modeling of the redshift-space power spectrum of galaxies is crucially important to correctly extract cosmological information from redshift surveys. The task is complicated by the nonlinear biasing and redshift space distortion effects, which change with halo mass, and by the wide distribution of halo masses and their occupations by galaxies. One of the main modeling challenges is the existence of satellite galaxies that have both radial distribution and large virial velocities inside halos, a phenomenon known as the Finger-of-God effect. We present a model for the galaxy power spectrum of in which we decompose a given galaxy sample into central and satellite galaxies and relate different contributions to 1- and 2-halo terms in a halo model. Our primary goal is to ensure that any parameters that we introduce have physically meaningful values, and are not just fitting parameters. For the 2-halo terms we use the previously developed RSD modeling of halos in the context of distribution function and perturbation theory approach. This term needs to be multiplied by the effect of radial distances and velocities of satellites inside the halo. To this one needs to add the 1-halo terms, which are non-perturbative. We show that the real space 1-halo terms can be modeled as almost constant, with the finite extent of the satellites inside the halo inducing a small k^2R^2 term, where R is related to the size of the halo. We adopt a similar model for FoG in redshift space, ensuring that FoG velocity dispersion is related to the halo mass. For FoG k^2 type expansions do not work and FoG resummation must be used instead. We test several damping functions to model the velocity dispersion FoG effect. Applying the formalism to mock galaxies modeled after the "CMASS" sample of the BOSS survey, we find that our predictions for the redshift-space power spectra are accurate up to k~0.4Mpc/h.

description: The current document, Deliverable D5.2, is part of Task 5.2 “Capacity building on sustainable integrated water management” and targets reinforcing stakeholder capacity at the regional level, contribute to the strengthening of water related organizations, and to prepare a regional roster of experts from the MED countries who can deal successfully with sustainable water management issues in the region. There will be a call for the interested stakeholders identified in Task 5.1, who will be engaged in a social learning process for the design of new water management consistent with the 4R principle (Reduce, Recycle, Reuse and Recover) and to implement the best available technologies for an efficient treatment of their effluents. Special attention will be put on reusing treated wastewater as an alternative source of irrigation, in-situ reuse in industrial processes, and aquifer recharge. The results will be disseminated through participatory interactive sessions (Living Labs) in close collaboration with WP4 and all case-study partners. Attention will be put on the socio-economic aspects (WP4) and (WP6).

description: Function optimization and finding simultaneous solutions of a system of nonlinear equations (SNE) are two closely related and important optimization problems. However, unlike in the case of function optimization in which one is required to find the global minimum and sometimes local minima, a database of challenging SNEs where one is required to find stationary points (extrama and saddle points) is not readily available. In this article, we initiate building such a database of important SNE (which also includes related function optimization problems), arising from Science, Engineering and Economics. After providing a short review of the most commonly used mathematical and computational approaches to find solutions of such systems, we provide a preliminary list of challenging problems by writing the Mathematical formulation down, briefly explaning the origin and importance of the problem and giving a short account on the currently known results, for each of the problems. We anticipate that this database will not only help benchmarking novel numerical methods for solving SNEs and function optimization problems but also will help advancing the corresponding research areas.

description: To determine mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cell response to acute exercise and exercise training in breast cancer (BC) survivors and healthy controls (HC), 13 BC and 13 HC completed VO2 testing and intermittent exercise at 60% peak wattage (Pre/Post-training). MAIT cells were isolated at baseline, immediately following exercise, and 1 hour after exercise. Participants completed 16-weeks of aerobic and resistance training for 60 minutes/3 days per week. At Pre, exercise-induced increases in MAIT cell counts were greater in HC (137%) than BC (46%, p<.001) with similar findings for MAIT cell proportions. HC MAIT cell counts for TNFα and IFN-γ increased where BC survivors were unchanged (p<.001). Following training MAIT cell mobilization and egressed improved in BC, but the cytokine response was largley unchanged. This ~2-fold increase in MAIT cell count mobilization in BC at Post suggests exercise training may rescue the attenuated MAIT cell responses.

description: The interplay between superconductivity (SC) and ferromagnetism (FM) when embedded together has attracted unprecedented research interest due to very rare coexistence of these two phenomena. The focus has been mainly put into the proximity induced effects like, coexistence of magnetism and superconductivity, higher critical current, triplet superconductivity etc. However, very little attention has been paid experimentally to the role of magnetic constituent on triggering phase slip processes in the composite films (CFs). We demonstrate that less than 1 at. % of magnetic contribution in the CFs can initiate phase slip events efficiently. Due to advanced state-of-the-art fabrication techniques, phase slip based studies have been concentrated mainly on superconducting nanostructures. Here, we employ wide mesoscopic NbGd based CFs to study the phase slip processes. Low temperature current-voltage characteristics (IVCs) of CFs show stair-like features originated through phase slip events and are absent in pure SC films. Depending on the bias current and temperature, distinct regions, dominated by Abrikosov type vortex-antivortex (v-av) pairs and phase slip events, are observed. The results presented here open a new way to study the phase slip mechanism, its interaction with v-av pairs in two dimensions and hence can be useful for future photonic and metrological applications

Recovering Ornament in High Art: Tom Phillips's A Humument: A Treated Victorian Novel
Creators: name: McGurrin, Veronica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: In 1966, British artist Tom Phillips began an artistic journey that spanned half a century; picking      up a used book in a bookstore, Phillips meticulously altered each page of the work to create a      new artist’s book titled A Humument: A Treated Victorian Novel. Despite the fact that many      scholars consider A Humument to be a canonical example of an altered artist’s book, there is a      dearth in visual analysis scholarship on the work. In this thesis, I will be looking at Phillips’s      theories of ornament through his lecture “The Nature of Ornament: A Summary Treatise” and      demonstrate the ways in which he makes the case for a reinvigoration of ornament in high art      throughout his artistic oeuvre, principally in A Humument.

description: Here we propose and analyse in detail protocols that can achieve rapid hyperpolarization of 13C nuclear spins in randomly oriented ensembles of nanodiamonds at room temperature. Our protocols exploit a combination of optical polarization of electron spins in nitrogen-vacancy centers and the transfer of this polarization to 13C nuclei by means of microwave control to overcome the severe challenges that are posed by the random orientation of the nanodiamonds and their nitrogen-vacancy centers. Specifically, these random orientations result in exceedingly large energy variations of the electron spin levels that render the polarization and coherent control of the nitrogen-vacancy center electron spins as well as the control of their coherent interaction with the surrounding 13C nuclear spins highly inefficient. We address these challenges by a combination of an off-resonant microwave double resonance scheme in conjunction with a realization of the integrated solid effect which, together with adiabatic rotations of external magnetic fields or rotations of nanodiamonds, leads to a protocol that achieves high levels of hyperpolarization of the entire nuclear-spin bath in a randomly oriented ensemble of nanodiamonds even at room temperature. This hyperpolarization together with the long nuclear spin polarization lifetimes in nanodiamonds and the relatively high density of 13C nuclei has the potential to result in a major signal enhancement in 13C nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and suggests functionalized and hyperpolarized nanodiamonds as a unique probe for molecular imaging both in vitro and in vivo.

description: Enduring and accumulated advantages and disadvantages in work and family lives remain invisible in studies focusing on single outcomes. Further, single outcome studies tend to conflate labor market inequalities related to gender, race, and family situation. We combine an intersectional and quantitative life course perspective to analyze parallel work and family lives for Black and White men and women aged 22–44. Results using sequence analysis and data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) show that White men enjoy privileged opportunities to combine work and family life and elicit specific gendered and racialized constraints for Black men and women and White women. Black women experience the strongest interdependence between work and family life: events in their work lives constrain and condition their family lives and vice versa. For Black men, stable partnerships and career success mutually support and sustain each other over the life course. In contrast, for Black women, occupational success goes along with the absence of stable partnerships. Precarious and unstable employment is associated with early single parenthood for all groups supporting instability spillovers between life domains that are most prevalent among Black women, followed by Black men. The findings highlight a sizeable group of resourceful Black single mothers who hold stable middle-class jobs and have often gone unnoticed in previous research. We conclude that economic interventions to equalize opportunities in education, employment, and earnings, particularly early in life, are more promising for reducing intersectional inequalities in work-family life courses than attempting to intervene in family lives.

description: Solar magnetic activity shows both smooth secular changes, such as the Grand Modern Maximum, and quite abrupt drops that are denoted as Grand Minima. Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of convection driven dynamos offer one way of examining the mechanisms behind these events. In this work, we analyze a solution of a solar-like DNS that has been evolved for roughly 80 magnetic cycles of 4.9 years, during which epochs of irregular behavior are detected. The emphasis of our analysis is to find physical causes for such behavior. The DNS employed is a semi-global (wedge) magnetoconvection model. For data analysis we use Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) and phase dispersion ($D^2$) methods. A special property of the DNS is the existence of multiple dynamo modes at different depths and latitudes. The dominant mode is solar-like. This mode is accompanied by a higher frequency mode near the surface and a low-frequency mode in the bottom of the convection zone. The overall behavior of the dynamo solution is very complex exhibiting variable cycle lengths, epochs of disturbed and even ceased surface activity, and strong short-term hemispherical asymmetries. Surprisingly, the most prominent suppressed surface activity epoch is actually a global magnetic energy maximum. We interpret the overall irregular behavior to be due to the interplay of the different dynamo modes showing different equatorial symmetries, especially the smoother part of the irregular variations being related to the variations of the mode strengths, evolving with different and variable cycle lengths. The abrupt low activity epoch in the dominant dynamo mode near the surface is related to a strong maximum of the bottom toroidal field strength, which causes abrupt disturbances especially in the differential rotation profile via the suppression of the Reynolds stresses.

MUSCLE CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA IS IMPROVED AND PHYSICAL FUNCITON IS MAINTAINED AFTER HOME-BASED EXERCISE IN MEN WITH METASTATIC CASTRATION-RESISTANT PROSTATE CANCER UNDERGOING ANDROGEN DEPRIVATION THERAPY

description: BACKGROUND: Exercise training improves regional body composition and physical function (PF) in localized and metastatic prostate cancer, but it is unknown if training has similar effects in advanced disease or in a home-based setting. PURPOSE: 1) To determine changes in leg muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and quality (MQ) following home-based exercise during metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and 2) to compare CSA values to age-and BMI-matched cancer-free controls (CON). METHODS: Sedentary mCRPC patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT; n = 14, age = 72y ± 7, BMI = 31.97kg/m2 ± 6.95) underwent PF testing and CSA and MQ analyses using ultrasound for the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle before and after a 12-week home-based exercise protocol. Age- and BMI-matched CON (n = 17, age = 69y ± 2, BMI = 32.78kg/m2 ± 6.47) completed baseline scans only.  RESULTS: For mCRPC patients completing the intervention (n=14), VL CSA increased by 12.6% (pre: 8.7cm2 ± 3.3, post: 9.8 ± 3.9, p=0.012, d= 0.32) with no change in MQ. Those who met the adherence threshold experienced greater hypertrophy (n=9; pre: 9.27cm2 ± 3.1, post: 11.77cm2 ± 4.0; d= 0.7). PF was maintained after exercise training. VL CSA was lower in mCRPC (9.12cm2 + 3.15) relative to CON (36.55cm2 ± 7.04, p<0.001, d=4.95). CONCLUSIONS: ADT decreases muscle size compared to CON, but a short-term exercise program induces a moderate degree of regional muscle hypertrophy and may help maintain physical function. Increased exercise frequency may result in greater benefits. Regional hypertrophy is consistent with work from localized prostate cancer on ADT and may be an important outcome to examine and to determine if increases in muscle CSA may translate to improvements in physical function and quality of life.

description: If the observed dark-energy density $ρ_Λ$ is interpreted as the net contribution of the energy density of the vacuum, $ρ_Λ\equiv ρ_V \sim M_V^4$, and the corresponding vacuum length scale $λ_V = M_V^{-1}$ as the cutoff scale controlling the low-energy, effective field-theory limit of gravity, it follows that the conventional cosmological scenario based on the effective gravitational equations may be valid only up to the Tev energy scale. Such a possibility would be strongly disfavored by the existence of a relic background of primordial gravitational radiation of intensity compatible with present (or near future) experimental sensitivities.

A model realizing inverse seesaw and resonant leptogenesis

description: We construct a model realizing the inverse seesaw mechanism. The model has two types of gauge singlet fermions in addition to right-handed neutrinos. A required Majorana mass scale (keV scale) for generating the light active neutrino mass in the conventional inverse seesaw can be naturally explained by a "seesaw" mechanism between the two singlet fermions in our model. We find that our model can decrease the magnitude of hierarchy among the mass parameters by $\mathcal{O}(10^4)$ from that in the conventional inverse seesaw model. We also show that a successful resonant leptogenesis occurs for generating the baryon asymmetry of the universe in our model. The desired mass degeneracy for the resonant leptogenesis can also be achieved by the "seesaw" between the two singlet fermions.

description: It is often argued that effective human-centered explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) should resemble human reasoning. However, empirical investigations of how concepts from cognitive science can aid the design of XAI are lacking. Based on insights from cognitive science, we propose a framework of explanatory modes to analyze how people frame explanations, whether mechanistic, teleological, or counterfactual. Using the complex safety-critical domain of autonomous driving, we conduct an experiment consisting of two studies on (i) how people explain the behavior of a vehicle in 14 unique scenarios (N1=54) and (ii) how they perceive these explanations (N2=382), curating the novel Human Explanations for Autonomous Driving Decisions (HEADD) dataset. Our main finding is that participants deem teleological explanations significantly better quality than counterfactual ones, with perceived teleology being the best predictor of perceived quality. Based on our results, we argue that explanatory modes are an important axis of analysis when designing and evaluating XAI and highlight the need for a principled and empirically grounded understanding of the cognitive mechanisms of explanation. The HEADD dataset and our code are available at: https://datashare.ed.ac.uk/handle/10283/8930.

HOW ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION AND PEER INFLUENCE IMPACT INTENTION TO GIVE AMONG DIVISION I POWER 5 STUDENT-ATHLETES
Creators: name: Mickey, Lewis

Year: 2020

description: Understanding motivations and constraints for giving to athletic development organizations has become increasingly important in the world of college athletics. Furthermore, as the growing number of athletic departments continue to increase expenditures as a result of the ongoing competitive arms race, it is vital to maximize existing revenue streams and generate innovative solutions to increase revenue from untapped donor segments. This study investigates current student-athletes at a Division I institution to determine how much this population knows about the efforts made by the athletic development organization on campus. Additionally, this study will investigate two potential variables, athletic development education and peer influence, as possible influencers in increasing current student-athlete’s intention to give post-graduation. Findings suggest that many student-athletes are not aware of their athletic development organization’s operational efforts. In addition, athletic development education and peer influence both emerged as opportunities for practitioners to increase intention to give among the current student-athlete population. As a result, development officers should form relationships with student-athletes by performing educational outreach to inform them of the benefits they are awarded while they are enrolled, rather than waiting until after graduation to start this process.
Oscillation of the spin-currents of cold atoms on a ring due to light-induced spin-orbit coupling

description: The evolution of two-component cold atoms on a ring with spin-orbit coupling has been studied analytically for the case with N noninteracting particles. Then, the effect of interaction is evaluated numerically via a two-body system. Two cases are considered: (i) Starting from a ground state the evolution is induced by a sudden change of the laser field, and (ii) Starting from a superposition state. Oscillating persistent spin-currents have been found. A set of formulae have been derived to describe the period and amplitude of the oscillation. Based on these formulae the oscillation can be well controlled via adjusting the parameters of the laser beams. In particular, it is predicted that movable stripes might emerge on the ring.

description: This study examined the optical properties of a dental restorative material manufactured from lithium aluminosilicate ceramic and reinforced with lithium disilicate.  The property of translucency and the optical effects of various abutments on color were the primary focus of the study.  Samples were prepared in thicknesses of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 millimeters of both high (HT) and low (LT) translucency versions of the material.   The samples were examined using standard photospectrometry practices.  A baseline relationship between translucency and material thickness was examined and the effects of clinically relevant abutments on color change were studied.   An exponential relationship between material thickness and translucency was observed but no significant difference in translucency of the HT and LT versions of the material was found. The change in color observed for the material was significant for both composite and titanium abutments, but not when zirconia was used as an abutment.

description: Quantum computation provides great speedup over its classical counterpart for certain problems. One of the key challenges for quantum computation is to realize precise control of the quantum system in the presence of noise. Control of the spin-qubits in solids with the accuracy required by fault-tolerant quantum computation under ambient conditions remains elusive. Here, we quantitatively characterize the source of noise during quantum gate operation and demonstrate strategies to suppress the effect of these. A universal set of logic gates in a nitrogen-vacancy centre in diamond are reported with an average single-qubit gate fidelity of 0.999952 and two-qubit gate fidelity of 0.992. These high control fidelities have been achieved at room temperature in naturally abundant 13C diamond via composite pulses and an optimized control method.
