The role of airport security in promoting a safe and efficient air travel in Somalia.

efficient air travel in Somalia

description: At the beginning of the aviation industry, particularly during the 1920s and 1930s, airport security was almost non-existent. Passengers were free to access the airport and even board the aircraft without undergoing any major security checks.

An evaluation of airport security and related measures requires an insight into the threats presented to this mode of transport. According to Stewart and Mueller (2013), the most common threats are terror attacks, smuggling of contraband, and other crimes. The objective of airport security is to ensure that lethal weapons and other contraband material do not find their way into the aircraft and to other destinations (Badi & Weisburd, 2011).

In response to terrorist attacks, many countries modified their regulations and significantly tightened airport security procedures. Routinely, all passengers and flight crews are subject to standardized security procedures, which include baggage X-ray, body X-ray, metal detector scan, and passport control. Such changes and amendments came as a response to highly elevated risks. (O’Malley,2006).

Security procedures have become more commonplace when there are elevated risks or suspicious behaviors like perspiration or fidgeting. They might include bodily pat-downs, bag searches, and explosive trace detection scans as well as sniffing passengers by dogs and inspecting the contents of their laptops and cameras. In some suspicious cases, passengers are singled out based on name, nationality, race, religion, ethnicity, or physical appearance and subjected to an extreme vetting process and very long interrogation Alards Tomalin, 2014).

The Nature of Class I Sources: Periodic Variables in Orion

description: We present a quantitative, empirically based argument that at least some Class I sources are low-mass, pre-main-sequence stars surrounded by spatially extended envelopes of dusty gas. The source luminosity arises principally from stellar gravitational contraction, as in optically visible pre-main-sequence stars that lack such envelopes. We base our argument on the fact that some Class I sources in Orion and other star-forming regions have been observed by Spitzer to be periodic variables in the mid-infrared, and with periods consistent with T Tauri rotation rates. Using a radiative transfer code, we construct a variety of dust envelopes surrounding rotating, spotted stars, to see if an envelope that produces a Class I SED at least broadly matches the observed modulations in luminosity. Acceptable envelopes can either be spherical or flattened, and may or may not have polar cavities. The key requirement is that they have a modest equatorial optical depth at the Spitzer waveband of 3.6 $μ$m, typically ${τ_{3.6}}$ ${\approx}$ 0.6. The total envelope mass, based on this limited study, is at most about 0.1 $\text{M}_{\odot}$, less than a typical stellar mass. Future studies should focus on the dynamics of the envelope, to determine whether material is actually falling onto the circumstellar disk.

description: We propose the first Skyrmion Spin Ice, realized via confined, interacting liquid crystal skyrmions. Skyrmions in a chiral nematic liquid crystal behave as quasi-particles that can be dynamically confined, bound, and created or annihilated individually with ease and precision. We show that these quasi-particles can be employed to realize binary variables that interact to form ice-rule states. Because of their unique versatility, liquid crystal skyrmions can open entirely novel avenues in the field of frustrated systems. More broadly, our findings also demonstrate the viability of LC skyrmions as elementary degrees of freedom in the design of collective complex behaviors.

description: Dijkgraaf and Vafa (DV) have conjectured that the exact superpotential for a large class of N=1 SUSY gauge theories can be extracted from the planar limit of a certain holomorphic matrix integral. We test their proposal against existing knowledge for a family of deformations of N=4 SUSY Yang-Mills theory involving an arbitrary polynomial superpotential for one of the three adjoint chiral superfields. Specifically, we compare the DV prediction for these models with earlier results based on the connection between SUSY gauge theories and integrable systems. We find complete agreement between the two approaches. In particular we show how the DV proposal allows the extraction of the exact eigenvalues of the adjoint scalar in the confining vacuum and hence computes all related condensates of the finite-N gauge theory. We extend these results to include Leigh-Strassler deformations of the N=4 theory.

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 39999 Chemical Sciences not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Chemical sciences

description: This thesis shows the development of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) for the preparation of biohybrid materials. The general flow of the thesis is an introduction to the field of bioconjugates (Chapter 1), then research that involved growing polymers from biomolecule initiators is covered (Chapter 2-4), followed by projects that conjugated preformed polymers to biomolecules. (Chapters 5 and 6). Chapter 7 covers unique class of biohybrids called polyplexes that are formed by electrostatic interaction between the polymer and biomolecules. Chapter 1 is a broad overview of the field of polymer bioconjugates (i.e. biohybrids) that are prepared using reversible deactivator radical polymerization methods (RDRP) and the
biomolecules covered are proteins, DNA and RNA. Chapter 2 describes the preparation of protein polymer hybrids by “grafting from” a genetically encoded non-canonical amino acid ATRP initiator expressed at the 134 amino acid residue in the green fluorescent protein using normal ATRP (Chapter 2A) and activators generated by electron transfer (AGET) ATRP (Chapter 2B). The development of ATRP under biologically relevant conditions (BRC) for the synthesis of welldefined protein polymer hybrids by “by grafting from” a protein initiator using both normal and AGET ATRP was explored in Chapter 3. DNA is a versatile biomolecules that is synthetically prepared using solid phase synthesis using phosphoramidite coupling chemistry. To incorporate
an ATRP initiator into DNA a phosphoramidite ATRP initiator was synthesized and incorporated into DNA and polymers could be “blocked from” DNA both on and of the solid phase bead (Chapter 4). The preparation of reversible DNA mediated star-polymer assemblies is described in Chapter 5. A self-transfecting nuclease resistant siRNA delivery system was developed by coupling a polymer to both the 5’ and 3’ ends of a passenger RNA strand followed by guide strand aneling (Chapter 6). A cationic nanogel was prepared, using AGET ATRP in inverse miniemulsion, and used to form polyplexes with siRNA. The nanogels were capable of binding and delivering siRNA to knockdown a protein of interest (Chapter 7).
Probability distribution of density fluctuations in the non-linear regime

description: We present a general procedure for obtaining the present density fluctuation probability distribution given the statistics of the initial conditions. The main difficulties faced with regard to this problem are those related to the non-linear evolution of the density fluctuations and those posed by the fact that the fields we are interested in are the result of filtering an underlying field with structure down to scales much smaller than that of filtering. The solution to the latter problem is discussed here in detail and the solution to the former is taken from a previous work. We have checked the procedure for values of the rms density fluctuation as large as 3/2 and several power spectra and found that it leads to results in excellent agreement with those obtained in numerical simulations. We also recover all available exact results from perturbation theory.

description: The ctools open-source software package was developed for the scientific analysis of astronomical data from Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs), such as H.E.S.S., VERITAS, MAGIC, and the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). To date, the software has been mainly tested using simulated CTA data; however, upon the public release of a small set of H.E.S.S. observations of the Crab nebula, MSH 15-52, RX J1713.7-3946, and PKS 2155-304 validation using real data is now possible. We analysed the data of the H.E.S.S. public data release using ctools version 1.6 and compared our results to those published by the H.E.S.S. Collaboration for the respective sources. We developed a parametric background model that satisfactorily describes the expected background rate as a function of reconstructed energy and direction for each observation. We used that model, and tested all analysis methods that are supported by ctools, including novel unbinned and joint or stacked binned analyses of the measured event energies and reconstructed directions, and classical On-Off analysis methods that are comparable to those used by the H.E.S.S. Collaboration. For all analysis methods, we found a good agreement between the ctools results and the H.E.S.S. Collaboration publications considering that they are not always directly comparable due to differences in the datatsets and event processing software. We also performed a joint analysis of H.E.S.S. and Fermi-LAT data of the Crab nebula, illustrating the multi-wavelength capacity of ctools. The joint Crab nebula spectrum is compatible with published literature values within the systematic uncertainties. We conclude that the ctools software is mature for the analysis of data from existing IACTs, as well as from the upcoming CTA.

description: This work explores the synthesis of molecular bottlebrushes with complex architectures and their applications in various areas of material science. The first chapter reviews current progress in the bottlebrush field, focusing on recent advances in the areas of synthesis, physical properties and potential applications of bottlebrushes. Chapters II
to IV discuss the relationship between structural details of homocomponent brushes and their physical properties. Chapter II summarizes the synthesis of graft copolymers with varying grafting densities, and lengths of the side chains and backbones, followed by the correlation of the graft structure with a thermal diffusion behavior. Chapter III describes the effect of the graft length on viscoelasticity of brushes with a constant backbone size. The work in Chapter IV introduces a new class of cylindrical brushes with bimodal length of side chains, and discusses their behavior on surfaces. The following Chapters (V and VI) cover the use of functional ATRP multiinitiators as a method of tuning the
structure of bottlebrushes. Chapter V describes several examples of diinitiators incorporated into the brush core to either embed a labelled tag or to incorporate a mechanosensitive group. Chapter VI focuses on the use of more complex ATRP multiinitiator with a molecular spoked wheel core that allows for the formation of mechanosensitve molecular stars. The final Chapter VII discusses ABA triblock brushes inspired by the structure of a lubrication protein, and discusses their applications as lubricants in aqueous and organic media.

description: We consider the triple differential distribution dΓ/(dE_J)(dm_J^2)(dΩ_J) for two-jet events at center of mass energy M, smeared over the endpoint region m_J^2 << M^2, |2 E_J -M| ~ Δ, \lqcd << Δ<< M. The leading nonperturbative correction, suppressed by \lqcd/Δ, is given by the matrix element of a single operator. A similar analysis is performed for three jet events, and the generalization to any number of jets is discussed. At order \lqcd/Δ, non-perturbative effects in four or more jet events are completely determined in terms of two matrix elements which can be measured in two and three jet events.
description: Significant changes made. The first moment does not vanish--the paper has been modified to reflect this. Relations between different numbers of jets still hold

description: Abstract: Background: Nearly all persons with Down syndrome will show pathology of Alzheimer’s disease in their 40s. There is a critical need for studies to identify early biomarkers of these various pathological changes of Alzheimer’s disease in the Down syndrome population and understand the relationship of these biomarkers to cognitive symptoms in order to inform clinical trials. Although Alzheimer’s disease is often considered a disease of gray matter, white matter degeneration has been documented during the preclinical stage of Alzheimer’s disease. The current study examined the association between diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measures of white matter microstructure and episodic memory performance in 52 adults with Down syndrome. Methods: Seventy (N = 70) participants (M = 40.13, SD = 7.77 years) received baseline scans as part of the Neurodegeneration in Aging Down Syndrome (NiAD) study at two imaging facilities (36 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison [UW-Madison] and 34 at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center [UPMC]). All participants had genetically confirmed trisomy 21. Fifty-two (N = 52) participants remained after QC. The DTI measures, fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD), were calculated for each participant. A combined measure of episodic memory was generated by summing the z-scores of (1) Free and Cued Recall test and (2) Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test for Children Picture Recognition. The DTI data were projected onto a population-derived FA skeleton and tract-based spatial statistics analysis was conducted using the FSL tool PALM to calculate Pearson’s r values between FA and MD with episodic memory. Results: A positive correlation of episodic memory with FA and a negative correlation of episodic memory and MD in the major association white matter tracts were observed. Results were significant (p < 0.05) after correction for chronological age, imaging site, and premorbid cognitive ability. Conclusion: These findings suggest that white matter degeneration may be implicated in early episodic memory declines prior to the onset of dementia in adults with Down syndrome. Further, our findings suggest a coupling of episodic memory and white matter microstructure independent of chronological age.

description: We study Harper operators and the closely related discrete magnetic Laplacians (DML) on a graph with a free action of a discrete group, as defined by Sunada. The spectral density function of the DML is defined using the von Neumann trace associated with the free action of a discrete group on a graph. The main result in this paper states that when the group is amenable, the spectral density function is equal to the integrated density of states of the DML that is defined using either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. This establishes the main conjecture in a paper by Mathai and Yates. The result is generalized to other self adjoint operators with finite propagation.

description: Abstract: Background: Most studies on secular trends in body mass index (BMI) are cross-sectional and the few longitudinal studies have typically only investigated changes over time in mean BMI trajectories. We aimed to describe how the evolution of the obesity epidemic in Great Britain reflects shifts in the proportion of the population demonstrating different latent patterns of childhood-to-adulthood BMI development. Methods: We used pooled serial BMI data from 25,655 participants in three British cohorts: the 1946 National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD), 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS), and 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS). Sex-specific growth mixture models captured latent patterns of BMI development between 11 and 42 years. The classes were characterised in terms of their birth cohort composition. Results: The best models had four classes, broadly similar for both sexes. The ‘lowest’ class (57% of males; 47% of females) represents the normal weight sub-population, the ‘middle’ class (16%; 15%) represents the sub-population who likely develop overweight in early/mid-adulthood, and the ‘highest’ class (6%; 9%) represents those who likely develop obesity in early/mid-adulthood. The remaining class (21%; 29%) reflects a sub-population with rapidly ‘increasing’ BMI between 11 and 42 years. Both sexes in the 1958 NCDS had greater odds of being in the ‘highest’ class compared to their peers in the 1946 NSHD but did not have greater odds of being in the ‘increasing’ class. Conversely, males and females in the 1970 BCS had 2.78 (2.15, 3.60) and 1.87 (1.53, 2.28), respectively, times higher odds of being in the ‘increasing’ class. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the obesity epidemic in Great Britain reflects not only an upward shift in BMI trajectories but also a more recent increase in the number of individuals demonstrating more rapid weight gain, from normal weight to overweight, across the second, third, and fourth decades of life.

description: We show that the sequence of dimensions of the linear spaces, generated by a given rank-metric code together with itself under several applications of a field automorphism, is an invariant for the whole equivalence class of the code. The same property is proven for the sequence of dimensions of the intersections of itself under several applications of a field automorphism. These invariants give rise to easily computable criteria to check if two codes are inequivalent. We derive some concrete values and bounds for these dimension sequences for some known families of rank-metric codes, namely Gabidulin and (generalized) twisted Gabidulin codes. We then derive conditions on the length of the codes with respect to the field extension degree, such that codes from different families cannot be equivalent. Furthermore, we derive upper and lower bounds on the number of equivalence classes of Gabidulin codes and twisted Gabidulin codes, improving a result of Schmidt and Zhou for a wider range of parameters. In the end we use the aforementioned sequences to determine a characterization result for Gabidulin codes.

description: Abstract: Recently revised ice core chronologies for Greenland have newly identified one of the largest sulfate deposition signals of the last millennium as occurring between 1108 and 1113 CE. Long considered the product of the 1104 CE Hekla (Iceland) eruption, this event can now be associated with substantial deposition seen in Antarctica under a similarly revised chronology. This newly recognized bipolar deposition episode has consequently been deemed to reveal a previously unknown major tropical eruption in 1108 CE. Here we show that a unique medieval observation of a “dark” total lunar eclipse attests to a dust veil over Europe in May 1110 CE, corroborating the revised ice-core chronologies. Furthermore, careful evaluation of ice core records points to the occurrence of several closely spaced volcanic eruptions between 1108 and 1110 CE. The sources of these eruptions remain unknown, but we propose that Mt. Asama, whose largest Holocene eruption occurred in August 1108 CE and is credibly documented by a contemporary Japanese observer, is a plausible contributor to the elevated sulfate in Greenland. Dendroclimatology and historical documentation both attest, moreover, to severe climatic anomalies following the proposed eruptions, likely providing the environmental preconditions for subsistence crises experienced in Western Europe between 1109 and 1111 CE.

Specification Testing in Nonparametric Instrumental Quantile Regression
Creators: name: Breunig, Christoph
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Econometrics (econ.EM)
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: There are many environments in econometrics which require nonseparable modeling of a structural disturbance. In a nonseparable model with endogenous regressors, key conditions are validity of instrumental variables and monotonicity of the model in a scalar unobservable variable. Under these conditions the nonseparable model is equivalent to an instrumental quantile regression model. A failure of the key conditions, however, makes instrumental quantile regression potentially inconsistent. This paper develops a methodology for testing the hypothesis whether the instrumental quantile regression model is correctly specified. Our test statistic is asymptotically normally distributed under correct specification and consistent against any alternative model. In addition, test statistics to justify the model simplification are established. Finite sample properties are examined in a Monte Carlo study and an empirical illustration is provided.

Transient Absorption Features in GRBs and Their Implications for GRB Progenitors

description: The recent detection of a transient absorption feature in the prompt emission of GRB 990705 has sparked multiple attempts to fit this feature in terms of photoelectric absorption or resonance scattering out of the line of sight to the observer. However, the physical conditions required to reproduce the observed absorption feature turn out to be rather extreme compared to the predictions of current GRB progenitor models. In particular, strong clumping of ejecta from the GRB progenitor seems to be required. Using detailed 3D hydrodynamic simulations of supernova explosions as a guideline, we have investigated the dynamics and structure of pre-GRB ejecta predicted in various GRB progenitor models. Based on our results, combined with population synthesis studies relevant to the He-merger model, we estimate the probability of observing X-ray absorption features as seen in GRB 990705 to << 1 %. Alternatively, if the supranova model is capable of producing highly collimated long-duration GRBs, it may be a more promising candidate to produce observable, transient X-ray absorption features.

description: In the framework of the scotogenic model, which features radiative generation of neutrino masses, we explore light dark matter scenario. Throughout the paper we chiefly focus on keV-scale dark matter which can be produced either via freeze-in through the decays of the new scalars, or from the decays of next-to-lightest fermionic particle in the spectrum, which is produced through freeze-out. The latter mechanism is required to be suppressed as it typically produces a hot dark matter component. Constraints from BBN are also considered and in combination with the former production mechanism they impose the dark matter to be light. For this scenario we consider signatures at High Luminosity LHC and proposed future hadron and lepton colliders, namely FCC-hh and CLIC, focusing on searches with two leptons and missing energy as a final state. While a potential discovery at High Luminosity LHC is in tension with limits from cosmology, the situation greatly improves for future colliders.

description: We propose a model-based image reconstruction method for photoacoustic tomography(PAT) involving a novel form of regularization and demonstrate its ability to recover good quality images from significantly reduced size datasets. The regularization is constructed to suit the physical structure of typical PAT images. We construct it by combining second-order derivatives and intensity into a non-convex form to exploit a structural property of PAT images that we observe: in PAT images, high intensities and high second-order derivatives are jointly sparse. The specific form of regularization constructed here is a modification of the form proposed for fluorescence image restoration. This regularization is combined with a data fidelity cost, and the required image is obtained as the minimizer of this cost. As this regularization is non-convex, the efficiency of the minimization method is crucial in obtaining artifact-free reconstructions. We develop a custom minimization method for efficiently handling this non-convex minimization problem. Further, as non-convex minimization requires a large number of iterations and the PAT forward model in the data-fidelity term has to be applied in the iterations, we propose a computational structure for efficient implementation of the forward model with reduced memory requirements. We evaluate the proposed method on both simulated and real measured data sets and compare them with a recent reconstruction method that is based on a well-known fast iterative shrinkage threshold algorithm (FISTA).

description: GraphBLAS is an interface for implementing graph algorithms. Algorithms implemented using the GraphBLAS interface are cast in terms of linear algebra-like operations. However, many graph algorithms are canonically described in terms of operations on vertices and/or edges. Despite the known duality between these two representations, the differences in the way algorithms are described using the two approaches can pose considerable difficulties in the adoption of the GraphBLAS as standard interface for development. This paper investigates a systematic approach for translating a graph algorithm described in the canonical vertex and edge representation into an implementation that leverages the GraphBLAS interface. We present a two-step approach to this problem. First, we express common vertex- and edge-centric design patterns using a linear algebraic language. Second, we map this intermediate representation to the GraphBLAS interface. We illustrate our approach by translating the delta-stepping single source shortest path algorithm from its canonical description to a GraphBLAS implementation, and highlight lessons learned when implementing using GraphBLAS.
