Attitudes toward immigrants and immigration policy
Creators: name: Berg, Justin Allen
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Immigrants -- United States -- Public opinion

description: Recent immigration to the U.S. has significantly increased the nation s ethnoracial diversity. This demographic change prompts questions regarding intergroup relations and interracial conflict. With data from the General Social Survey, 1994 to 2004, I add to the discussion by examining native-born white public opinion toward immigrants and immigration policy. Specifically, I examine the power of a core network approach, which suggests that individuals personal contacts influence immigration attitudes, and a symbolic racism framework, which argues that whites develop relatively stable values and beliefs during childhood and adulthood about the personal limitations and costs of immigrants. Multilevel models and logistic regression models indicate that core networks consisting of higher levels of education and non-white contacts influence native-born whites to hold a pro-immigrant attitude, while older and tighter networks have the opposite effect. At the same time, core networks also condition the impact of group threat and intergroup contact on immigration attitudes, suggesting that the interpersonal environment and broader social environment interact during opinion formation. Furthermore, symbolically racist native-born whites are more likely to hold anti-immigrant opinions, independent of their feelings of labor market competition. Thus, social iv policy that considers the interpersonal environment as well as the broader institutional environment in which native-born whites are embedded may offer more effective directives in achieving positive native-born and foreign-born relations.

description: An alternative approach to lattice gauge theory has been under development for the past decade. It is based on discretizing the operator Heisenberg equations of motion in such a way as to preserve the canonical commutation relations at each lattice site. It is now known how to formulate a non-Abelian gauge theory within this framework. The formulation appears to be free of fermion doubling. Since the theory is unitary, a time-development operator (Hamiltonian) can be constructed.

description: The mission planning in airborne Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing applications, depending on the system of acquisition and by the adopted platform (such as rotary and fixed wing aircrafts, glider, airship, manned or unmanned), is the first and essential step to ensure the success of a survey mission. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview on mission planning techniques using passive optical sensors. The basic concepts related to the usage of the most common sensor technologies are described, along with the several possible scenarios that may be afforded by using modern airborne sensors. Several examples of flight plans are illustrated and discussed to highlight correct methods, procedures and tools for data acquisition in the case of different types of manned and unmanned airborne missions. In particular, the flight planning with more recent technologies of digital passive optical airborne sensors will be dealt with, including frame cameras and multi-/hyperspectral push-broom sensors. Furthermore, in order to ensure the complete success of an airborne mission, some up-to-date solutions to know in advance the weather conditions (cloud cover, height of the sun, wind, etc.) and the GNSS satellite configuration are illustrated.

description: Long-range electronic order descending from a metallic parent state constitutes a rich playground to study the intricate interplay of structural and electronic degrees of freedom. With dispersive and correlation features as multifold as topological Dirac-like itinerant states, van-Hove singularities, correlated flat bands, and magnetic transitions at low temperature, kagome metals are located in the most interesting regime where both phonon and electronically mediated couplings are significant. Several of these systems undergo a charge density wave (CDW) transition, and the van-Hove singularities, which are intrinsic to the kagome tiling, have been conjectured to play a key role in mediating such an instability. However, to date, the origin and the main driving force behind this charge order is elusive. Here, we use the topological bilayer kagome metal ScV6Sn6 as a platform to investigate this puzzling problem, since it features both kagome-derived nested Fermi surface and van-Hove singularities near the Fermi level, and a CDW phase that affects the susceptibility, the neutron scattering, and the specific heat, similarly to the siblings AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) and FeGe. We report on our findings from high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission, density functional theory, and time-resolved optical spectroscopy to unveil the dynamics of its CDW phase. We identify the structural degrees of freedom to play a fundamental role in the stabilization of charge order. Along with a comprehensive analysis of the subdominant impact from electronic correlations, we find ScV6Sn6 to feature an instance of charge density wave order that predominantly originates from phonons. As we shed light on the emergent phonon profile in the low-temperature ordered regime, our findings pave the way for a deeper understanding of ordering phenomena in all CDW kagome metals.
The role of the hippocampus and matrix metaloproteinases on habituation of the head-shake response task/classical conditioning paradigm
Creators: name: Wiediger, Roberta V.
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Conditioned response

description: These experiments were designed to find evidence regarding the relationship between the hippocampus and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) during the head-shake response (HSR) task/classical conditioning paradigm. Habituation is the simplest form of learning, where an organism's response is decreased due to a repeated presentation of a harmless stimulus. The HSR task has been very predictable in showing habituation to repeated air stimulation to a rat's ear and the spontaneous recovery of the habituated response twenty-four hours later. Since the hippocampus and MMPs are implicated in learning and memory, these experiments investigated their role during a HSR task when a classical conditioning paradigm was added. Therefore these studies were designed to investigate the following: 1) Can a tone serve as the conditioned stimulus (CS) during the HSR task? 2) Is the dorsal hippocampus important during the HSR/Classical conditioning paradigm? 3) Are hippocampal MMPs important during the CS-US (unconditioned stimulus) association? 4) Is hippocampal MMP-3 important during the CS-US association? Findings revealed: 1) the tone presented 1-s prior to the US became a CS. 2) Dorsal hippocampectomized animals were not able to make the CS-US association. 3) Injections of FN-439, a general MMP inhibitor, into the dorsal hippocampus interfered with the CS-US association. 4) Dorsal hippocampus injections of MMP-3 inhibitor also interfered with the CS-US association. Therefore, animals which were not able to form the CS-US association showed similar rates of responding twenty-four hours later. Based on the collective findings of these experiments it is evident that during a HSR/classical conditioning paradigm, the hippocampus plays an important role in consolidating and storing the CS-US association. More specifically dorsal hippocampus MMP-3 was found to be particularly important in the formation of the CS-US association.

description: We determine the rational integers x,y,z such that x^3+y^9=z^2 and gcd(x,y,z)=1. First we determine a finite set of curves of genus 10 such that any primitive solution to x^3+y^9=z^2 corresponds to a rational point on one of those curves. We observe that each of these genus 10 curves covers an elliptic curve over some extension of Q. We use this cover to apply a Chabauty-like method to an embedding of the curve in the Weil restriction of the elliptic curve. This enables us to find all rational points and therefore deduce the primitive solutions to the original equation.

description: Three-dimensional X-ray diffraction (3DXRD) has been used to measure, in-situ, the evolution of $\sim 1800$ grains in a single phase low carbon ferritic steel sample during uniaxial deformation. The distribution of initial residual grain stresses in the material was observed to prevail as plasticity builds, though became less pronounced, and therefore less influential as strain increased. The initial Schmid factor of a grain was found to be strongly correlated to the intergranular stress change and the range of stresses that are permissible; a grain well aligned for easy slip is more likely to exhibit a range of stresses than those orientated poorly for dislocation motion. The orientation path of a grain, however, is not only dependent on its initial orientation, but hypothesised to be influenced by its stress state and the stress state of its grain environment. A grain neighbourhood effect is observed: the Schmid factor of serial adjoining grains influences the stress state of a grain of interest, whereas parallel neighbours are much less influential. This phenomenon is strongest at low plastic strains only, with the effect diminishing as plasticity builds. The influence of initial residual stresses becomes less evident, and grains rotate to eliminate any orientation dependent load shedding. The ability of the BCC ferrite to exhaust such neighbourhood interactions, which would otherwise be detrimental in crystal structures with lower symmetric and fewer slip systems, is considered key to the high ductility possessed by these materials.

description: In poor minority areas, poor living conditions, single industrial structure and weak public basic services often lead to a deep degree of poverty. This is the most difficult problem to solve in the fight against poverty. Yunlong Township, Luquan Yi and Miao Autonomous County, which is located in the alpine canyon area of Jinsha River in China, is a semi-closed agricultural township integrating "nationality, mountain area, poverty and backwardness". Located in the Xinshan Village Committee of this township, Naimu Danxia village group is a typical Lisu settlement. It is a key village group with a deep degree of poverty, and the incidence of poverty is 17.00%. In recent years, Naimu Danxia village group has adhered to the direction of unified promotion, internal and external blood creation and resource integration in the poverty alleviation work of the Lisu nationality in Luquan County. It has successfully taken a road of national unity, self-reliance and common poverty alleviation, and formed a unique poverty alleviation model of "promotion for the entire nationality". At the end of 2018, the incidence of poverty dropped to 0.00%, successfully building a "demonstration village of national unity" at the municipal level in Kunming. Based on the field research and interviews, this paper analyzes and summarizes the specific methods, main achievements, practical experience and popularization and application measures regarding the poverty alleviation model of "promotion for the entire Lisu nationality" in the village group. It tries to provide necessary reference for accurate poverty alleviation and poverty eradication in similar minority areas in Yunnan Province and other provinces.

description: We derive entropic Bell inequalities from considering entropy Venn diagrams. These entropic inequalities, akin to the Braunstein-Caves inequalities, are violated for a quantum mechanical Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pair, which implies that the conditional entropies of Bell variables must be negative in this case. This suggests that the satisfaction of entropic Bell inequalities is equivalent to the non-negativity of conditional entropies as a necessary condition for separability.

We calculate to all orders in the background field the two point function and relate it to various expressions found in the literature. The background field induced mass shift of the electron is shown to be polarisation independent in the full elliptic class. The matrix nature of this mass shift in the fermionic theory is discussed. The extent to which a momentum space description is possible for this system is clarified.

description: We consider the system of two parallel sheets of graphene which are moving with relative parallel velocity $\vec{v}$ and calculate the Casimir energy by using the scattering approach. The energy has real and imaginary parts. The real part contains a velocity contribution to the force perpendicular to the sheets. The imaginary part is related to a friction force parallel to the graphene sheets. We prove that the friction appears if the relative velocity becomes greater than the velocity of Fermi and if the modulo of reflection coefficient is greater than the one which is significant for virtual photon production. We analyze in detail the real contribution to the Casimir energy for two systems -- graphene/graphene and ideal metal/graphene. In the non-relativistic case $v \ll v_F$, the relative correction to the Casimir energy $(\mathcal{E}_v - \mathcal{E}_0)/\mathcal{E}_0$ is proportional to the $(v/c)^2$ (the maximum value is $0.0033$ for the gapeless case and $v=v_F$) for the first system, and it is zero up to the Fermi velocity $v = v_F$ for system ideal metal/graphene.

description: Electrical control of magnetism has been a major techonogical pursuit of the spintronics community, owing to its far-reaching implications for data storage and transmission. Here, we propose and analyze a new mechanism for electrical switching of isospin, using chiral-stacked graphene multilayers, such as bernal bilayer graphene or rhombohedral trilayer graphene, encapsulated by transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) substrates. Leveraging the proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling from the TMD, we demonstrate electrical switching of correlation-induced spin and/or valley polarization, by reversing a perpendicular displacement field or the chemical potential. We substantiate our proposal with both analytical arguments and self-consistent Hartree-Fock numerics. Finally, we illustrate how the relative alignment of the TMDs, together with the top and bottom gate voltages, can be used to selectively switch distinct isospin flavors, putting forward correlated van der Waals heterostructures as a promising platform for spintronics and valleytronics.

This solution is obtained by a combination of the time-dependent coordinate scaling and the density functional theory with self-interaction correction. Results of this solution are used to determine the time delay in photoionization of the water and hydrogen molecules.

Stress survival in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis and the role of hup in Mycobacterium smegmatis
Creators: name: Whiteford, Danelle
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Microorganisms -- Physiology

description: This study characterizes differences in the abilities of two closely related Mycobacterium species to survive stress. M. tuberculosis and M. bovis are both human pathogens, but M. bovis is also a major animal pathogen and is more virulent in small animal hosts. In this study it was shown that M. bovis was more resistant to the stress of desiccation, low pH, and high heat. Using TLC, this study also demonstrated differences between the cell envelopes of these two species. Finally a comparison of the proteomes made between M. tuberculosis and M. bovis revealed differences in protein expression levels. One protein of interest that had elevated levels in M. bovis was the histone-like protein HupB. In an effort to elucidate the function of HupB in Mycobacterium, the hupB homolog (hup) was deleted from the chromosome of the non-pathogen M. smegmatis. M. smegmatis was chosen for study due to its shorter doubling time and frequent use as a model system for studying its pathogenic counterparts. Initial observation of M. smegmatis Δhup revealed a colony morphology that was smoother than the typical rough colony of wild-type M. smegmatis. Unlike wild-type M. smegmatis, the Δhup strain grew dispersed in liquid cultures, with minimal clumping. Loss of hup does not affect longterm
description: viability of M. smegmatis but it does leave cells more susceptible to UV light and freeze/thaw treatment. In addition M. smegmatis Δhup is four times more susceptible to the action of the front-line antibiotic isoniazid. Although the complete molecular function of Hup has not yet been determined, this work demonstrates that Hup does have a role in the structure of the cell envelope and in the resistance to some environmental stresses.

description: Since its theoretical sensitivity is limited by quantum noise, radio wave sensing based on Rydberg atoms has the potential to replace its traditional counterparts with higher sensitivity and has developed rapidly in recent years. However, as the most sensitive atomic radio wave sensor, the atomic superheterodyne receiver lacks a detailed noise analysis to pave its way to achieve theoretical sensitivity. In this work, we quantitatively study the noise power spectrum of the atomic receiver versus the number of atoms, where the number of atoms is precisely controlled by changing the diameters of flat-top excitation laser beams. The results show that under the experimental conditions that the diameters of excitation beams are less than or equal to 2 mm and the read-out frequency is larger than 70 kHz, the sensitivity of the atomic receiver is limited only by the quantum noise and, in the other conditions, limited by classical noises. However, the experimental quantum-projection-noise-limited sensitivity this atomic receiver reaches is far from the theoretical sensitivity. This is because all atoms involved in light-atom interaction will contribute to noise, but only a fraction of them participating in the radio wave transition can provide valuable signals. At the same time, the calculation of the theoretical sensitivity considers both the noise and signal are contributed by the same amount of atoms. This work is essential in making the sensitivity of the atomic receiver reach its ultimate limit and is significant in quantum precision measurement.

description: Eccentric mergers are a signature of the dynamical formation channel of binary black holes (BBHs) in dense stellar environments and hierarchical triple systems. Here, we investigate the formation of eccentric mergers via binary-single interactions by means of $2.5\times10^{5}$ direct $\textit{N}$-body simulations. Our simulations include post-Newtonian terms up to the 2.5th order and model the typical environment of young (YSCs), globular (GCs), and nuclear star clusters (NSCs). Around $0.6\%$ ($1\%$) of our mergers in NSCs (GCs) have an eccentricity ${>0.1}$ when the emitted gravitational wave frequency is 10 Hz in the source frame, while in YSCs this fraction rises to $1.6\%$. Approximately $\sim63\%$ of these mergers are produced by chaotic, resonant interactions where temporary binaries are continuously formed and destroyed, while $\sim31\%$ arise from an almost direct collision of two black holes (BHs). Lastly, $\sim 6\%$ of these eccentric mergers occur in temporary hierarchical triples. We find that binaries undergoing a flyby generally develop smaller tilt angles with respect to exchanges. This result challenges the idea that perfectly isotropic spin orientations are produced by dynamics. The environment dramatically affects BH retention: $0\%$, $3.1\%$, and $19.9\%$ of all the remnant BHs remain in YSCs, GCs, and NSCs, respectively. The fraction of massive BHs also depends on the host cluster properties, with pair-instability ($60\leq\,$M$_{\rm BH}$/M$_{\odot}\leq$100) and intermediate-mass (M$_{\rm BH}\geq$100$\,$M$_{\odot}$) BHs accounting for approximately $\sim44\%$ and $1.6\%$ of the mergers in YSCs, $\sim33\%$ and $0.7\%$ in GCs, and $\sim28\%$ and $0.4\%$ in NSCs, respectively.

description: It is shown that in isothermal isobaric diffusion of a binary fluid mixture the mean volume velocity vanishes in the linear regime, independent of the equation of state. The partial specific volumes of the two components are uniform and constant in the process of mutual diffusion. The properties lead to a simple derivation of the de Groot-Mazur thermodynamic factor in the diffusion coefficient. The properties also imply that the diffusive volume flux defined by Brenner is proportional to the mass current density, and is therefore not a quantity of independent interest.

description: In this paper, we have performed the dynamical system analysis of $f(T)$ gravity cosmological models at both background and perturbation levels. We have presented three models pertaining to three distinct functional forms of $f(T)$. The first form is that of the logarithmic form of the torsion scalar $T$, the second one is in the power law form, and the third one is the combination of the first two forms. For all these three forms of $f(T)$, we have derived the corresponding cosmological parameters in terms of the dynamical variables. Subsequently, the critical points are obtained and the condition(s) of its existence has been derived. Critical points of each model have been analysed individually and the corresponding cosmology are derived. The stability behaviour of these critical points are discussed from the behaviour of the eigenvalues and the phase portraits. At least one stable node has been obtained in each of these models. Further from the evolution plots of the cosmological parameters, the accelerating behaviour of the cosmological models are also verified.

description: Techniques to isolate the small RNA fraction (<200nt) by column-based methods are commercially available. However, their use is limited because of the relatively high cost. We found that large RNA molecules, including mRNAs and rRNAs, are aggregated together in the presence of salts when RNA pellets are over-dried. Moreover, once RNA pellets are over-dried, large RNA molecules are barely soluble again during the elution process, whereas small RNA molecules (<100nt) can be eluted. We therefore modified the acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform (AGPC)-based RNA extraction protocol by skipping the 70% ethanol washing step and over-drying the RNA pellet for 1 hour at room temperature. We named this novel small RNA isolation method “mirRICH.” The quality of the small RNA sequences was validated by electrophoresis, next-generation sequencing, and quantitative PCR, and the findings support that our newly developed column-free method can successfully and efficiently isolate small RNAs from over-dried RNA pellets.

description: There is significant evidence suggesting that continuous global symmetries are always gauged in quantum gravity. However, very weakly gauged symmetries seem global to an effective field theory expansion in powers of Newton's constant. We show that, at least for Einsteinian quantum gravity on AdS, such extremely weak gaugings are indeed in the Swampland: Consistency with AdS black hole thermodynamics requires the bulk gauge coupling $g^2$ not to vanish faster than $\sim\exp(\ell^{d-1}/G)$, where $\ell$ is the $AdS_{d+1}$ radius and $G$ is Newton's constant as we take the $G\rightarrow0$ limit. This translates to a constraint in the dual large $N$ CFT, namely, that the two-point function coefficient of the current $C_J$ cannot grow faster than $\exp(N^2)$ in the large $N$ limit. We also recover a previously known logarithmic relationship between the cutoff of the effective field theory in AdS, Planck's mass, and the AdS radius.

description: We have conducted a long-term V-band photometric monitoring of M33 on 95 nights during four observing seasons (2000 - 2003). A total number of 6418 lightcurves of bright objects in the range of 14 - 21 mag have been obtained. All measurements are publicly available. A total of 127 new variables were detected, of which 28 are periodic. Ten previously known non-periodic variables were identified as periodic, 3 of which are Cepheids, and another previously known periodic variable was identified as an eclipsing binary. Our derived periods range from 2.11 to almost 300 days. For 50 variables we have combined our observations with those of the DIRECT project, obtaining lightcurves of up to 500 measurements, with a time-span of ~7 years. We have detected a few interesting variables, including a 99.3 day periodic variable with a 0.04 mag amplitude, at the position of SNR 19.

description: Supernova remnants are often presented as the most probable sources of Galactic cosmic rays. This idea is supported by the accumulation of evidence that particle acceleration is happening at supernova remnant shocks. Observations in the TeV range have especially contributed to increase the understanding of the mechanisms, but many aspects of the particle acceleration at supernova remnant shocks are still debated. The Cherenkov telescope array is expected to lead to the detection of many new supernova remnants in the TeV and multi-TeV range. In addition to the individual study of each, the study of these objects as a population can help constrain the parameters describing the acceleration of particles and increase our understanding of the mechanisms involved.

Summary of the slide deck: 

The slide deck introduces Ferret, an OPeNDAP client used for data analysis and visualization, particularly popular in the ocean modeling community. Ferret is a command-line application developed for large, gridded model output, offering customizable graphics and analysis through delayed evaluation, where data access occurs when needed, allowing users to create variable definitions and think mathematically instead of programmatically. The presentation demonstrates Ferret's capabilities in accessing both local and remote data through OPeNDAP, its customizable analysis functions, and its features such as map projections, time series analysis, and support for curvilinear model grids. Tutorials provided in the slide deck cover various aspects of Ferret usage, including opening datasets, working with regions, strides, transformations, regridding, and combining datasets for comprehensive analysis and visualization. Links to Ferret documentation and tutorials for opening datasets and working with remote data are also provided.

description: These lecture notes collect the material that I have been using over the years for various short courses on the physics of gravitational waves, first at the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris (France), and then at SISSA (Italy) and various summer/winter schools. The level should be appropriate for PhD students in physics or for MSc students that have taken a first course in general relativity. The focus is on deriving results from first principles, rather than on astrophysical applications.

Dicke superradiance in ordered arrays of multilevel atoms

description: In inverted atomic ensembles, photon-mediated interactions give rise to Dicke superradiance, a form of many-body decay that results in a rapid release of energy as a photon burst. While originally studied in pointlike ensembles, this phenomenon persists in extended ordered systems if the inter-particle distance is below a certain bound. Here, we investigate Dicke superradiance in a realistic experimental setting using ordered arrays of alkaline-earth(-like) atoms, such as strontium and ytterbium. Such atoms offer exciting new opportunities for light-matter interactions as their internal structure allows for trapping at short interatomic distances compared to their long-wavelength transitions, providing the potential for collectively enhanced dissipative interactions. Despite their intricate electronic structure, we show that two-dimensional arrays of these atomic species should exhibit many-body superradiance for achievable lattice constants. Moreover, superradiance effectively ``closes'' transitions, such that multilevel atoms become more two-level like. This occurs because the avalanchelike decay funnels the emission of most photons into the dominant transition, overcoming the single-atom decay ratios dictated by their fine structure and Zeeman branching. Our work represents an important step in harnessing alkaline-earth atoms as quantum optical sources and as platforms to explore many-body dissipative dynamics.

description: In recent years, hysteria over America's "meth epidemic" has infiltrated air waves, newspaper columns, and Congressional hearings. Contrary to much public opinion, methamphetamine is not a new drug, nor is it remarkably different from other amphetamines. The most recent "meth epidemic" is merely the latest of several methamphetamine scares that preceded it. A dope fiend mythology, conveyed through a discourse of fear, serves to reduce the sociological and historical complexities of the modern methamphetamine problem to simple personal troubles. From a social constructionist framework, attention is given to the various ways in which claims-makers have produced alarm through mass media depictions of the methamphetamine users and traffickers. Attention is also paid to many of the unintended consequences resulting from over a century's worth of U.S. drug prohibitions. It is suggested that the current methamphetamine problem has evolved from a series of American drug policies enacted largely within a culture of fear.

description: My Great Grandad (Henry Charles Henshaw) was a soldier in the war. After the war he didn't talk much about his experiences. He joined the Army 24th June 1940 and trained on the Isle of Wight and in Scotland before going to North America in 1942. He was also in the Middle East and Italy. He finished with the Army on the 25th March 1946. His rank was sergeant. He then started his training in the infantry but still had a position in the medical section of the Army later. He was in the Eastbourne Special Constabulary and had first aid training. He then moved to the medical section of the army as there was a lack of people there. After that, he trained to be a bricklayer and stayed in that profession until 1969 before working as a security officer. He died on 23rd March 1970.
