description: Sea salt aerosol can significantly affect the air quality. Sea salt can cause enhanced concentrations of particulate matter and change particle chemical composition, in particular in coastal areas, and therefore should be accounted for in air quality modelling. We have used an EMEP Unified model to calculate sea salt concentrations and depositions over Europe, focusing on studying the effects of uncertainties in sea salt production and lifetime on calculation results. Model calculations of sea salt have been compared with EMEP observations of sodium concentrations in air and precipitation for a four year period, from 2004 to 2007, including size (fine/coarse) resolved EMEP intensive measurements in 2006 and 2007. In the presented calculations, sodium air concentrations are between 8% and 46% overestimated, whereas concentrations in precipitation are systematically underestimated by 65–70% for years 2004–2007. A series of model tests have been performed to investigate the reasons for this underestimation, but further studies are needed. The model is found to reproduce the spatial distribution of Na+ in air and precipitation over Europe fairly well, and to capture most of sea salt episodes. The paper presents the main findings from a series of tests in which we compare several different sea spray source functions and also look at the effects of meteorological input and the efficiency of removal processes on calculated sea salt concentrations. Finally, sea salt calculations with the EMEP model have been compared with results from the SILAM model and observations for 2007. While the models produce quite close results for Na+ at the majority of 26 measurement sites, discrepancies in terms of bias and temporal correlation are also found. Those differences are believed to occur due to differences in the representation of source function and size distribution of sea salt aerosol, different meteorology used for model runs and the different models' resolution. This study contributes to getting a better insight on uncertainties associated with sea salt calculations and thus facilitates further improvement of aerosol modelling on both regional and global scales.

description: We report on the design, operation, and data analysis methods employed on the VNIR imaging spectrometer instrument that was part of the Mars Astrobiology Research and Technology Experiment (MARTE). The imaging spectrometer is a hyperspectral scanning pushbroom device sensitive to VNIR wavelengths from 400-1000 nm. During the MARTE project, the spectrometer was deployed to the Rio Tinto region of Spain. We analyzed subsets of 3 cores from Rio Tinto using a new band modeling technique. We found most of the MARTE drill cores to contain predominantly goethite, though spatially coherent areas of hematite were identified in Core 23. We also distinguished non Fe-bearing minerals that were subsequently analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and found to be primarily muscovite. We present drill core maps that include spectra of goethite, hematite, and non Fe-bearing minerals.

description: We present new lightcurve measurements of Comet 10P/Tempel 2 carried out with Lowell Observatory's Discovery Channel Telescope in early 2013 when the comet was at aphelion. These data represent some of the first science obtained with this new 4.3-m facility. With Tempel 2 having been observed to exhibit a small but ongoing spin-down in its rotation period for over two decades, our primary goals at this time were two-fold. First, to determine its current rotation period and compare it to that measured shortly after its most recent perihelion passage in 2010, and second, to disentangle the spin-down from synodic effects due to the solar day and the Earth's orbital motion and to determine the sense of rotation, i.e. prograde or retrograde. At our midpoint of 2013 Feb 24, the observed synodic period is 8.948+/-0.001 hr, exactly matching the predicted prograde rotation solution based on 2010 results, and yields a sidereal period of the identical value due to the solar and Earth synodic components just canceling out during the interval of the 2013 observations. The retrograde solution is ruled out because the associated sidereal periods in 2010 and 2013 are quite different even though we know that extremely little outgassing, needed to produce torques, occurred in this interval. With a definitive sense of rotation, the specific amounts of spin-down to the sidereal period could be assessed. The nominal values imply that the rate of spin-down has decreased over time, consistent with the secular drop in water production since 1988. Our data also exhibited an unexpectedly small lightcurve amplitude which appears to be associated with viewing from a large, negative sub-Earth latitude, and a lightcurve shape deviating from a simple sinusoid implying a highly irregularly shaped nucleus.

description: The forward starting CDO (FSCDO) valuation model serves the purpose of pricing a forward starting CDO (FSCDO) tranche. An FSCDO trade is defined as an agreement to enter into a CDO trade at some time in the future. Unlike a usual forward starting instrument in the interest rate world, the obligors in the collateral pool of the FSCDO may default before the forward starting date, which makes the pricing of such trades complicated.

description: We investigate the time evolution of higher order cumulants of conserved charges in a volume with the diffusion master equation. Applying the result to the diffusion of non-Gaussian fluctuations in the hadronic stage of relativistic heavy ion collisions, we show that the fourth-order cumulant of net-electric charge at LHC energy is suppressed compared with the recently observed second-order cumulant at ALICE, if the higher order cumulants at hadronization are suppressed compared with their values in the hadron phase in equilibrium. The significance of the experimental information on the rapidity window dependence of various cumulants in investigating the history of the dynamical evolution of the hot medium created in relativistic heavy ion collisions is emphasized.

Publisher: name: OSF Registries
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: Wise reasoning is crucial for dealing with interpersonal conflicts. Wise reasoning may be especially critical for delinquent adolescents struggling with getting along with peers. We investigated wise reasoning about a hypothetical friendship conflict among 201 delinquent adolescents and 189 typical adolescents aged 13-18. The results showed that wise reasoning is associated with an emphasis on friendship emphasis. Moreover, the age effect was insignificant among delinquent adolescents. In contrast, older adolescents scored significantly higher on metacognitive humility, a critical component of wise reasoning, among the typical adolescents (Zhang et al., 2023). Previous studies have demonstrated that a future-oriented temporal perspective promotes wise reasoning among adults (Zhang et al., 2023). This study will further test the age effect on wise reasoning about peer conflict among typical and delinquent adolescents with the same procedure. Moreover, we will explore the effect of a future-oriented temporal perspective on wise reasoning.

description: The incremental housing development is rarely discussed in the context of the North. While perceived as a niche modality, its analysis provides a valid opportunity to question the perceptions of local housing markets as fully formal and document the spatial and morphological outcomes of more inconspicuous, long term and decentralised housing processes. This paper fills this gap by analysing obscure yet prevalent processes of backyard extensions in London, United Kingdom. The morphological analysis presented documents this phenomenon's scale and main characteristics through tracing changes in built form using remote sensing imagery between 2003 and 2021. It focuses on changes in the backyards of four residential blocks in four case study areas with varying income levels across the London metropolis. By discussing these transformations in the context of legal ambiguities, densification, and deregulation, we point to the informal/formal hybridity of the local housing market. This nascent study documents that incremental development happens at a rapid pace and scale and occurs across all income levels. In theoretical terms, the paper questions the dichotomic categorisation of informality and formality in a context of a Northern city and points out the benefits of engaging with experiences of incremental development across geographic boundaries.

description: Statistical mechanics of two coupled vector fields is studied in the tight-binding model that describes propagation of polarized light in discrete waveguides in the presence of the four-wave mixing. The energy and power conservation laws enable the formulation of the equilibrium properties of the polarization state in terms of the Gibbs measure with positive temperature. The transition line $T=\infty$ is established beyond which the discrete vector solitons are created. Also in the limit of the large nonlinearity an analytical expression for the distribution of Stokes parameters is obtained which is found to be dependent only on the statistical properties of the initial polarization state and not on the strength of nonlinearity. The evolution of the system to the final equilibrium state is shown to pass through the intermediate stage when the energy exchange between the waveveguides is still negligible. The distribution of the Stokes parameters in this regime has a complex multimodal structure strongly dependent on the nonlinear coupling coefficients and the initial conditions.

An application of the theory of resilience and relational load : family communal orientation, social support, stress, and resilience during gender transition

description: This dissertation aimed to explore vital questions in health communication scholarship focused on the role of family communication in transgender individuals’ coping with stress. As posed by the Minority Stress Theory (MST; Meyer, 1995; 2013), transgender individuals endure chronically high levels of stress as a consequence of discrimination. Studies demonstrate that transgender people have fewer sources of familial and network support, and overall have fewer places to turn during times of duress and health crises (Gamarel et al., 2014; Meyer, 2003). The present study was framed with the Theory of Resilience and Relational Load (TRRL; Afifi et al., 2016; 2017; 2018). The central idea of the TRRL is that relationships (partners, families, and on) that frequently enact positive relational maintenance behaviors demonstrate more resilience when faced with stressors. Because families have a distinctive capacity to influence individuals’ coping strategies (Segrin & Flora, 2011), there is a need to examine the ways that transitioning individuals perceive the support and conflict communication with family members, and what influence this communication can have on their mental health. In order to test the propositions of the TRRL in this context, a web-based questionnaire was administered, and 257 individuals who identify as transgender responded. Participants were asked to think about their relationship with one member of their family of origin with whom there is ongoing communication. Participants responded to measures of communal orientation, enacted support, conflict, relational load, stress, and resilience. To analyze these data, a series of multiple regressions were performed and three path models were fitted. Findings from this study illustrated mixed results regarding the impact of relational maintenance on stress and resilience outcomes. While family members that are more communally oriented and use more constructive conflict strategies demonstrate a positive effect on lower stress and higher resilience; more communally oriented family members that employ more enacted support foster more stress for transgender individuals. Findings suggest that those with higher stress about transitioning may be seeking more support, and or support providers may be offering ineffective support to their loved ones in ways that contribute to their feelings of stress.

description: Agile methods in undergraduate courses have been explored in an effort to close the gap between industry and professional profiles. We have structured an Android application development course based on a tailored user-centered Agile process for development of educational digital tools. This process is based on Scrum and Extreme Programming in combination with User Experience (UX) approaches. The course is executed in two phases: the first half of the semester presents theory on Agile and mobile applications development, the latter half is managed as a workshop where students develop for an actual client. The introduction of UX and user-centered design exploiting the close relationship with stakeholders expected from Agile processes allows for different quality features development. Since 2019 two of the projects have been extended and one project has been developed with the described process and course alumni. Students and stakeholders have found value in the generated products and process.

description: During the ECOMA/MASS rocket campaign large scale NLC/PMC was observed by satellite, lidar and camera from polar to mid latitudes. We examine the observations from different instruments to investigate the morphology of the cloud. Satellite observations show a planetary wave 2 structure. Lidar observations from Kühlungsborn (54° N), Esrange (68° N) and ALOMAR (69° N) show a highly dynamic NLC layer. Under favorable solar illumination the cloud is also observable by ground-based cameras. The cloud was detected by cameras from Trondheim (63° N), Juliusruh (55° N) and Kühlungsborn. We investigate planetary scale morphology and local scale gravity wave structures, important for the interpretation of the small scale rocket soundings. We compare in detail the lidar observations with the NLC structure observed by the camera in Trondheim. The ALOMAR RMR-lidar observed only a faint NLC during the ECOMA launch window, while the camera in Trondheim showed a strong NLC display in the direction of ALOMAR. Using the high resolution camera observations (t~30 s, Δx<5 km) and the wind information from the meteor radar at ALOMAR we investigate the formation and destruction of NLC structures. We observe that the NLC brightness is reduced by a factor of 20–40 within 100 s which can be caused by a temperature about 15 K above the frostpoint temperature. A horizontal temperature gradient of more than 3 K/km is estimated.

description: In software development, code comments play a crucial role in enhancing code comprehension and collaboration. This research paper addresses the challenge of objectively classifying code comments as "Useful" or "Not Useful." We propose a novel solution that harnesses contextualized embeddings, particularly BERT, to automate this classification process. We address this task by incorporating generated code and comment pairs. The initial dataset comprised 9048 pairs of code and comments written in C, labeled as either Useful or Not Useful. To augment this dataset, we sourced an additional 739 lines of code-comment pairs and generated labels using a Large Language Model Architecture, specifically BERT. The primary objective was to build classification models that can effectively differentiate between useful and not useful code comments. Various machine learning algorithms were employed, including Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, and a Neural Network. Each algorithm was evaluated using precision, recall, and F1-score metrics, both with the original seed dataset and the augmented dataset. This study showcases the potential of generative AI for enhancing binary code comment quality classification models, providing valuable insights for software developers and researchers in the field of natural language processing and software engineering.

description: A core part of the new identity management paradigm of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is the W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) standard. The diversity of interoperable implementations encouraged by the paradigm is key for a less centralized future, and it is made possible by the concept of DIDs. However, this leads to a kind of dilemma of choices, where practitioners are faced with the difficult decision of which methods to choose and support in their applications. Due to the decentralized development of DID method specifications and the overwhelming number of different choices, it is hard to get an overview. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy of DID methods with the goal to empower practitioners to make informed decisions when selecting DID methods. To that end, our taxonomy is designed to provide an overview of the current landscape while providing adoption-relevant characteristics. For this purpose, we rely on the Nickerson et al. methodology for taxonomy creation, utilizing both conceptual-to-empirical and empirical-to-conceptual approaches. During the iterative process, we collect and survey an extensive and potentially exhaustive list of around 160 DID methods from various sources. The taxonomy we arrive at uses a total of 7 dimensions and 22 characteristics to span the contemporary design space of DID methods from the perspective of a practitioner. In addition to elaborating on these characteristics, we also discuss how a practitioner can use the taxonomy to select suitable DID methods for a specific use case.

description: We present observations of an eruptive solar flare on 2016 January 6 that occurred behind the solar limb from the perspective of the Earth, but was well observed by STEREO and the Solar Extreme Ultraviolet Monitor on the Mars Atmosphere and {Volatile} EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission. Light curves showing the evolution of the flare's irradiance as a function of time taken by MAVEN are well correlated with the brightness evolution of fan structures observed in the PROBA2 SWAP 174 Å passband, suggesting that the radiance of structures near the flare site was influenced by emission from the flare. Because SWAP did not directly observe the flare itself, this event represents a rare opportunity to study the evolution of emission near a flare without the risk of instrumental scattered light contaminating the observations. We analyze this evolution and implement a simple model to explore the possibility that resonant excitation (or resonant scattering) plays an important role in driving coronal EUV emission during flaring events. Our modeling shows that for a large flare, resonant excitation could increase emission from nearby structures by about 45%, consistent with our findings that the involved structures observed by SWAP increased in brightness by about 60% during the flare. We conclude that resonant excitation may play an important role in driving coronal EUV emission under certain circumstances and should be accounted for in models and emission-based analysis tools.

description: Background: Accurate chamber volumetry from gated, non-contrast cardiac CT (NCCT) scans can be useful for potential screening of heart failure. Objectives: To validate a new, fully automated, AI-based method for cardiac volume and myocardial mass quantification from NCCT scans compared to contrasted CT Angiography (CCTA). Methods: Of a retrospectively collected cohort of 1051 consecutive patients, 420 patients had both NCCT and CCTA scans at mid-diastolic phase, excluding patients with cardiac devices. Ground truth values were obtained from the CCTA scans. Results: The NCCT volume computation shows good agreement with ground truth values. Volume differences [95% CI ] and correlation coefficients were: -9.6 [-45; 26] mL, r = 0.98 for LV Total, -5.4 [-24; 13] mL, r = 0.95 for LA, -8.7 [-45; 28] mL, r = 0.94 for RV, -5.2 [-27; 17] mL, r = 0.92 for RA, -3.2 [-42; 36] mL, r = 0.91 for LV blood pool, and -6.7 [-39; 26] g, r = 0.94 for LV wall mass, respectively. Mean relative volume errors of less than 7% were obtained for all chambers. Conclusions: Fully automated assessment of chamber volumes from NCCT scans is feasible and correlates well with volumes obtained from contrast study.

title: Stablecoins and Their Risks to Financial Stability

description: The market for fiat-referenced cryptoassets, commonly known as stablecoins, has expanded rapidly in recent years alongside the growth of the cryptoasset ecosystem. In fact, the market capitalization of stablecoins increased by more than 30 times since the beginning of 2020. What risks could stablecoins pose to the financial system? We examine price stabilization mechanisms of stablecoins as well as the current and potential use cases of stablecoins. We then analyze the risks stemming from both. We argue that the price stabilization mechanisms of current stablecoins could lead to the risk of confidence runs, which can propagate to broader cryptoasset markets and the traditional financial sector. We also argue that stablecoins can contribute to risks to financial stability by facilitating the buildup of leverage and liquidity mismatches in decentralized finance. Such risks cannot be addressed by regulating the safety and soundness of stablecoins alone without adequately regulating broader activities in the crypto ecosystem. Finally, we explore the potential implications of the substitution of cash and bank deposits for stablecoins in payments and the financial system more broadly, particularly the current system of bank-intermediated credit and for monetary policy.
description: Le marché des cryptoactifs adossés à des monnaies fiduciaires, communément appelés
cryptomonnaies stables, a connu une croissance rapide ces dernières années, tout comme le reste de l’écosystème des cryptoactifs. En effet, la capitalisation de marché des cryptomonnaies stables a été multipliée par plus de 30 depuis le début de 2020. Quels risques potentiels ces
cryptomonnaies présentent-elles pour le système financier? Nous examinons les mécanismes de stabilisation de la valeur des cryptomonnaies stables ainsi que les cas d’utilisation actuels et
potentiels de celles-ci. Puis, nous analysons les risques qui en découlent. Nous soutenons que les mécanismes de stabilisation de la valeur des cryptomonnaies stables utilisées présentement
pourraient faire peser un risque sur la confiance susceptible d’entraîner des mouvements de ventes massives pouvant se propager à l’ensemble des marchés de cryptoactifs et au système financier traditionnel. Nous faisons valoir également que les cryptomonnaies stables sont de nature à contribuer aux risques pour la stabilité financière en favorisant la hausse du levier financier et l’asymétrie de liquidité dans la finance décentralisée. Il n’est pas possible de gérer de tels risques en régulant uniquement la sûreté et la solidité des cryptomonnaies stables; il faut aussi réglementer adéquatement les diverses activités au sein de l’écosystème des cryptomonnaies. Enfin, nous nous penchons sur les implications possibles d’un remplacement de l’argent comptant et des dépôts bancaires par les cryptomonnaies stables pour les paiements et plus généralement le système financier, y compris le système actuel d’intermédiation bancaire du crédit et la politique monétaire

description: We present observations of 18 galaxies from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey made with the SPIRAL optical integral field unit (IFU) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The galaxies are selected to have a narrow range in stellar mass (6x10^9Msolar < M* <2x10^10 Msolar) in order to focus on the effects of environment. Local galaxy environments are measured quantitatively using 5th nearest neighbour surface densities. We find that the total star formation rates (SFR) measured from the IFU data are consistent with total SFRs measured from aperture correcting either GAMA or Sloan Digital Sky Survey single-fibre observations. The mean differences are SFR_GAMA/SFR_IFU = 1.26+/-0.23, sigma=0.90 and for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey we similarly find SFR_Brinchmann/SFR_IFU = 1.34+/-0.17, sigma=0.67. Examining the relationships with environment, we find off-centre and clumpy Halpha emission is not significantly dependent on environment, being present in 2/7 (29^+20_-11 per cent) galaxies in high-density environments (>0.77 Mpc^-2), and 5/11 (45^+15_-13 per cent) galaxies in low-density environments (<0.77 Mpc^-2). We find a weak but not significant relationship of the total star formation rates of star-forming galaxies with environment. Due to the size of our sample and the scatter observed we do not draw a definitive conclusion about a possible SFR dependence on environment. Examining the spatial distribution of the Halpha emission, we find no evidence for a change in shape or amplitude of the radial profile of star-forming galaxies with environment. If these observations are borne out in larger samples this would infer that any environment-driven star-formation suppression must either act very rapidly (the `infall-and-quench' model) or that galaxies must evolve in a density-dependent manner (an `in-situ evolution' model).
