description: We present the power spectrum methodology used for the first-season COMAP analysis, and assess the quality of the current data set. The main results are derived through the Feed-feed Pseudo-Cross-Spectrum (FPXS) method, which is a robust estimator with respect to both noise modeling errors and experimental systematics. We use effective transfer functions to take into account the effects of instrumental beam smoothing and various filter operations applied during the low-level data processing. The power spectra estimated in this way have allowed us to identify a systematic error associated with one of our two scanning strategies, believed to be due to residual ground or atmospheric contamination. We omit these data from our analysis and no longer use this scanning technique for observations. We present the power spectra from our first season of observing and demonstrate that the uncertainties are integrating as expected for uncorrelated noise, with any residual systematics suppressed to a level below the noise. Using the FPXS method, and combining data on scales $k=0.051-0.62 \,\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ we estimate $P_\mathrm{CO}(k) = -2.7 \pm 1.7 \times 10^4μ\textrm{K}^2\mathrm{Mpc}^3$, the first direct 3D constraint on the clustering component of the CO(1-0) power spectrum in the literature.

description: African-Americans (AAs) have higher rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including hypertension and stroke, as compared to their Caucasian-American (CA) counterparts. High resting concentrations of systemic inflammatory biomarkers contribute to vascular dysfunction and are predictive of future cardiovascular events; differential resting levels of inflammatory markers between groups may reveal increased potential for CVD in at-risk groups. Additionally, impaired endothelial function and increased arterial stiffness, subclinical measures of CVD progression, have been reported in AA groups. The purpose of this study was to examine race differences between young, healthy AA and CA adults after a systemic inflammatory stimulus and subsequent endothelial responses to inflammation. Endothelial function, arterial stiffness, and hemodynamic variables were measured. The results suggest there were no race differences in vascular function or hemodynamic responses following an acute inflammatory stimulus.

description: We present early results from the COMAP Galactic Plane Survey conducted between June 2019 and April 2021, spanning $20^\circ<\ell<40^\circ$ in Galactic longitude and $|b|<1.\!\!^{\circ}5$ in Galactic latitude with an angular resolution of $4.5^{\prime}$. The full survey will span $\ell \sim 20^{\circ}$- $220^{\circ}$ and will be the first large-scale radio continuum survey at $30$ GHz with sub-degree resolution. We present initial results from the first part of the survey, including diffuse emission and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of HII regions and supernova remnants. Using low and high frequency surveys to constrain free-free and thermal dust emission contributions, we find evidence of excess flux density at $30\,$GHz in six regions that we interpret as anomalous microwave emission. Furthermore we model UCHII contributions using data from the $5\,$GHz CORNISH catalogue and reject this as the cause of the $30\,$GHz excess. Six known supernova remnants (SNR) are detected at $30\,$GHz, and we measure spectral indices consistent with the literature or show evidence of steepening. The flux density of the SNR W44 at $30\,$GHz is consistent with a power-law extrapolation from lower frequencies with no indication of spectral steepening in contrast with recent results from the Sardinia Radio Telescope. We also extract five hydrogen radio recombination lines to map the warm ionized gas, which can be used to estimate electron temperatures or to constrain continuum free-free emission. The full COMAP Galactic plane survey, to be released in 2023/2024, will be an invaluable resource for Galactic astrophysics.

description: We introduce COMAP-EoR, the next generation of the Carbon Monoxide Mapping Array Project aimed at extending CO intensity mapping to the Epoch of Reionization. COMAP-EoR supplements the existing 30 GHz COMAP Pathfinder with two additional 30 GHz instruments and a new 16 GHz receiver. This combination of frequencies will be able to simultaneously map CO(1--0) and CO(2--1) at reionization redshifts ($z\sim5-8$) in addition to providing a significant boost to the $z\sim3$ sensitivity of the Pathfinder. We examine a set of existing models of the EoR CO signal, and find power spectra spanning several orders of magnitude, highlighting our extreme ignorance about this period of cosmic history and the value of the COMAP-EoR measurement. We carry out the most detailed forecast to date of an intensity mapping cross-correlation, and find that five out of the six models we consider yield signal to noise ratios (S/N) $\gtrsim20$ for COMAP-EoR, with the brightest reaching a S/N above 400. We show that, for these models, COMAP-EoR can make a detailed measurement of the cosmic molecular gas history from $z\sim2-8$, as well as probe the population of faint, star-forming galaxies predicted by these models to be undetectable by traditional surveys. We show that, for the single model that does not predict numerous faint emitters, a COMAP-EoR-type measurement is required to rule out their existence. We briefly explore prospects for a third-generation Expanded Reionization Array (COMAP-ERA) capable of detecting the faintest models and characterizing the brightest signals in extreme detail.

description: Abstract

Whenever a government undergoes a change, policies are inevitably subject to alteration. The legacy of the previous administration is often deemed irrelevant and necessitates modification. However, it is essential to recognize that altering policies equates to changing the foundation of existing public services. Consequently, adjustments must be made on various fronts, as the transformation will impact the appearance of services provided by the bureaucracy. In light of this, the policy trends anticipated for 2024 and the subsequent five years can be gleaned from the communications conveyed by presidential candidates during the presidential election campaign (PILPRES). The three current contenders for the presidency have outlined the policies they intend to implement if victorious in the upcoming election. While some candidates express their commitment to maintaining existing policies, others have communicated their intentions to fundamentally alter them. Therefore, this research aims to as certain the trajectory of policies over the next five years in alignment with the vision and mission of the three pairs of presidential and vice-presidential candidates. The chosen approach is a qualitative method employing media content analysis. The findings reveal that, based on the communications presented to the public during the campaign, a victory for the presidential-vice presidential candidate pair Prabowo-Gibran would result in a transformation of both bureaucracies. Conversely, if the contest is won by the presidential-vice presidential candidate pair Anis-Muhaimin or Ganjar-Mahfud, a different set of changes in bureaucratic structure and appearance is anticipated.
Data Against Youth of Color in the Information Policing Era: How Gang Databases are Deepening Inequality

description: This paper examines how labeling gang members without consistent criteria for inclusion in law enforcement’s gang databases systemically leads to negative outcomes, also known as data violence. The concept of data violence allows for an analysis of the systemic consequences of the overrepresentation of adolescents of color in gang databases. Current gang data collection practices within law enforcement have at least one major problem, a culture of presumed criminality when interacting with adolescents of color. Data maintenance processes were also found by Propublica to have inconsistent labeling practices. Additionally, when looking through the data made available by Propublica, it is clear that there is disregard for a law entitled, 28 C.F.R. § 23. This law mandates all gang database entries that have not been renewed as a result of a criminal investigation, conviction, or adjudication, must be destroyed after five years. Another major finding, particularly emphasized by Forman and Vitale, is that police gang-tracking initiatives have an overly punitive focus for individual adolescents. In order to mitigate the need for overly punitive practices, the author recommends additional research tracking demographic trends within push factors, also known as reasons why a person might be motivated to join a gang, in order to better utilize intervention methods. Ida B. Wells and the National Black Census serve as examples of how people and communities of color have managed their own datasets when law enforcement’s criminal justice data inaccurately overrepresented their community members as criminals. The author concludes that libraries have an opportunity to disrupt data violence through education initiatives for both victims and perpetrators of data violence. Future research should continue to analyze and improve potential interventions for this data violence, both inside and outside of law enforcement.

description: Many biological phenomena or social events critically depend on how information evolves in complex networks. However, a general theory to characterize information evolution is yet absent. Consequently, numerous unknowns remain about the mechanisms underlying information evolution. Among these unknowns, a fundamental problem, being a seeming paradox, lies in the coexistence of local randomness, manifested as the stochastic distortion of information content during individual-individual diffusion, and global regularity, illustrated by specific non-random patterns of information content on the network scale. Here, we attempt to formalize information evolution and explain the coexistence of randomness and regularity in complex networks. Applying network dynamics and information theory, we discover that a certain amount of information, determined by the selectivity of networks to the input information, frequently survives from random distortion. Other information will inevitably experience distortion or dissipation, whose speeds are shaped by the diversity of information selectivity in networks. The discovered laws exist irrespective of noise, but the noise accounts for the intensification. We further demonstrate the ubiquity of our discovered laws by analyzing the emergence of neural tuning properties in the primary visual and medial temporal cortices of animal brains and the emergence of extreme opinions in social networks.

description: The DMP has the objective to describe the lifecycle of all data to be generated, collected, processed and stored during the project and how data will be shared after the project’s end. Internal practices per partner, as well as common Consortium practices, should be described.
 SMART-electron is a FET-Open project with the aim to develop an innovative technological platform for designing, realizing and operating all-optical rapidly-programmable phase masks for electrons. During the course of the project, SMART-electron will generate a variety of data covering a wide range of R&D and regulation activities: experimental and theoretical results will appear in the form of electron microscopy images, spectra and diffraction patterns, as well as light optical images, spectra and time-correlation profiles.
 As far as metadata and data are concerned, the guiding principle is to strive to make them FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) as much as possible.
 SMART-electron data will be originated in laboratory environments (experiments) and computing facilities (theory and simulations). In general, the project is expected to generate novel scientific data that will be kept confidential until their publication. Before publication, data will be shared on a collaborative basis within the SMART-electron Consortium.

description: Urban flooding — due to land cover change, inadequate drainage networks, and increased precipitation — exacerbates communities’ economic and social vul¬nerabilities. A detailed watershed model can help communities identify weak portions of the drainage network and design resolutions. This research details the development of a comprehensive model of the Tiber Branch Watershed in Ellicott City, Maryland, to reproduce observed depth in the Hudson Branch tributary using PCSWMM (a commercial version of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Storm Water Management Model). The 2,434.8-acre watershed comprises 8,821 PCSWMM objects, which were estimated from various raster and vector datasets. Without calibration, the model generally captures the timing and shape of the stage hydrographs but is less successful in simulating event magnitude and receives a R2 of 0.65 and SE/SY of 0.67 for the 43 selected events, collectively. Ultimately, model evaluation was not completed due to a lack of representative rainfall within the watershed.

description: Agricultural and rural development interventions significantly reduce global poverty by providing growth-oriented tools, including but not limited to access to finance, training, and markets. While such interventions effectively reduce monetary poverty (e.g., $1 a day poverty line), there is increasing interest in incorporating non-monetary poverty indicators, such as education, health, and living standards, to capture inherent multidimensionality in poverty. This study analyzes data from 16 impact evaluation studies conducted between 2019 and 2023 to examine whether and to what extent agricultural and rural development interventions affect the multidimensional poverty of small-scale producers. Our analysis reveals a 4 percent reduction in multidimensional poverty for treatment households compared to comparison households. Our findings suggest that agricultural and rural development interventions play a positive role in reducing poverty and have the potential to improve the long-term well-being of poor households.

description: Quantum error correction has recently been shown to benefit greatly from specific physical encodings of the code qubits. In particular, several researchers have considered the individual code qubits being encoded with the continuous variable GottesmanKitaev-Preskill (GKP) code, and then imposed an outer discrete-variable code such as the surface code on these GKP qubits. Under such a concatenation scheme, the analog information from the inner GKP error correction improves the noise threshold of the outer code. However, the surface code has vanishing rate and demands a lot of resources with growing distance. In this work, we concatenate the GKP code with generic quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) codes and demonstrate a natural way to exploit the GKP analog information in iterative decoding algorithms. We first show the noise thresholds for two lifted product QLDPC code families, and then show the improvements of noise thresholds when the iterative decoder - a hardware-friendly min-sum algorithm (MSA) - utilizes the GKP analog information. We also show that, when the GKP analog information is combined with a sequential update schedule for MSA, the scheme surpasses the well-known CSS Hamming bound for these code families. Furthermore, we observe that the GKP analog information helps the iterative decoder in escaping harmful trapping sets in the Tanner graph of the QLDPC code, thereby eliminating or significantly lowering the error floor of the logical error rate curves. Finally, we discuss new fundamental and practical questions that arise from this work on channel capacity under GKP analog information, and on improving decoder design and analysis.

description: The deployment of cryogenic Dewars aboard high-altitude balloons is critical to astronomical observation at submillimeter wavelengths. Balloon-borne, cryogenically cooled telescopes are limited in size by weight restrictions of the balloons, which is dominated by the Dewars. This thesis presents a portion of the multi-phase BOBCAT project which reduces Dewar weight with the use of thin-walled designs and a novel multi-layer insulation (MLI) system. The BOBCAT-1 mission used conventional Dewar technology to demonstrate cryogen transfer at float altitude and establish baseline thermal performance of balloon-borne Dewars. Design and assembly of the BOBCAT-2 ultra-light Dewar showed successful fabrication of the thin-walled vessel and novel MLI system. Thermal modelling predicts that the BOBCAT-2 Dewar will experience an order of magnitude increase in heat transfer through the MLI, equivalent to a 60% increase through the Dewar in total, due to its larger volume and decreased number of radiation shields relative to the BOBCAT-1 Dewar.

Estimate the Rebound Effect for Household Vehicle Usage Choice by Regression Models

Subjects: subject: Transportation

description: The recent Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed less stringent fuel economy standards for a safer affordable fuel-efficient (SAFE) vehicle rule for passenger vehicles and light trucks. With the advancements in the vehicle technology and improving fuel efficiency, the per-mile driving cost of passenger vehicles will reduce. However, this reduction in the driving cost may result in the rise of vehicle miles traveled, which is referred to as the rebound effect. Motivated by observing this unusual behavior on vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as a result of vehicle-related taxation schemes, this study aims at understanding the elasticity of VMT to fuel economy, which will be the reflection of the rebound effect, as well as the difference between elasticity of VMT to fuel price and fuel economy using 2017 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS). The magnitude of the elasticity of VMT to fuel economy is estimated to be between 0.19 and 0.37. This study aids in contemplating the effectiveness of the standards at reducing fuel utilization and related greenhouse gas emissions.

description: We suggest a simple model to describe polyamorphism in single-component fluids using a maximum-valence approach. The model contains three types of interactions: i) atoms attract each other by van der Waals forces that generate a liquid-gas transition at low pressures, ii) atoms may form covalent bonds that induce association, and iii) bonded atoms attract or repel each other stronger than non-bonded atoms, thus generating liquid-liquid separation. As an example, we qualitatively compare this model with the behavior of liquid sulfur and show that condition (iii) generates a liquid-liquid phase transition in addition to the liquid-gas phase transition.

description: Motivated by advances in flexible electronic technologies and by the endeavour to develop non-destructive testing methods, this article analyses the capability of computational multiscale formulations to predict the influence of microscale cracks on effective macroscopic electrical and mechanical material properties. To this end, thin metal films under mechanical load are experimentally analysed by using in-situ confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and in-situ four point probe resistance measurements. Image processing techniques are then used to generate representative volume elements from the laser intensity images. These discrete representations of the crack pattern at the microscale serve as the basis for the calculation of effective macroscopic electrical conductivity and mechanical stiffness tensors by means of computational homogenisation approaches. A comparison of simulation results with experimental electrical resistance measurements and a detailed study of fundamental numerical properties demonstrates the applicability of the proposed approach. In particular, the (numerical) errors that are induced by the representative volume element size and by the finite element discretisation are studied, and the influence of the filter that is used in the generation process of the representative volume element is analysed.

description: The success of multiskilling greatly relies on the foreman's ability to assign workers to appropriate tasks and compose crews effectively. The foreman assigns tasks to workers according to their knowledge, capabilities and experience on former projects (Rodriguez 1998). To obtain the maximum benefits from multiskilling, practitioners have stated that automated tools that optimize allocation and assignment of workers would be valuable (Rodriguez 1998). This research describes efforts directed toward developing tools that optimize the allocation and assignment of multiskilled workers to activities in a construction project.
