description: We present an all-optical implementation of quantum computation using semiconductor quantum dots. Quantum memory is represented by the spin of an excess electron stored in each dot. Two-qubit gates are realized by switching on trion-trion interactions between different dots. State selectivity is achieved via conditional laser excitation exploiting Pauli exclusion principle. Read-out is performed via a quantum-jump technique. We analyze the effect on our scheme's performance of the main imperfections present in real quantum dots: exciton decay, hole mixing and phonon decoherence. We introduce an adiabatic gate procedure that allows one to circumvent these effects, and evaluate quantitatively its fidelity.

description: Many rural areas of the United States are struggling economically but have abundant natural resources that could be used as feedstocks for producing aviation fuel. Recent research concludes that these alternatives are technically viable but are not cost-competitive with conventional fuels. This generally holds, even when the societal costs and benefits of different fuel types are taken into account.

description: Direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional (3D) homogeneous turbulence under rapid rigid rotation are conducted to examine the predictions of resonant wave theory for both small Rossby number and large Reynolds number. The simulation results reveal that there is a clear inverse energy cascade to the large scales, as predicted by 2D Navier-Stokes equations for resonant interactions of slow modes. As the rotation rate increases, the vertically-averaged horizontal velocity field from 3D Navier-Stokes converges to the velocity field from 2D Navier-Stokes, as measured by the energy in their difference field. Likewise, the vertically-averaged vertical velocity from 3D Navier-Stokes converges to a solution of the 2D passive scalar equation. The energy flux directly into small wave numbers in the $k_z=0$ plane from non-resonant interactions decreases, while fast-mode energy concentrates closer to that plane. The simulations are consistent with an increasingly dominant role of resonant triads for more rapid rotation.

description: We propose a realistic theory of fermion masses and mixings using a five-dimensional warped scenario where all fermions propagate in the bulk and the Higgs field is localized on the IR brane. The assumed $T'$ flavor symmetry is broken on the branes by flavon fields, providing a consistent scenario where fermion mass hierarchies arise from adequate choices of the bulk mass parameters, while quark and lepton mixing angles are restricted by the family symmetry. Neutrino mass splittings, mixing parameters and the Dirac CP phase all arise from the type-I seesaw mechanism and are tightly correlated, leading to predictions for the neutrino oscillation parameters, as well as expected \znbb decay rates within reach of upcoming experiments. The scheme also provides a good global description of flavor observables in the quark sector.

description: Statement of the Problem. The purpose of this study was to investigate the selection process for secondary principals and to compare the perceptions of school officials with principals regarding attitudes toward, and the qualifications of, female secondary school principals. Procedures. The participants were the superintendents, directors of personnel, presidents of school boards and secondary principals from the mid-Atlantic region. Attitudes toward female principals were measured by the Attitude Research Instrument developed by Thomas A. Ringness at the University of Wisconsin. A questionnaire was used to gather background information, opinions regarding qualifications of principals and a description of the selection process used in the school districts. Results. School officials gave similar responses regarding attitudes toward females, as did the male and female principals. However, the school officials differed from the principals in their responses. All groups stated positive perceptions of females in three areas: women are encouraged to prepare professionally, women have the qualifications, and women have the necessary experiences for the principalship. The school officials expressed perceptions of the promotional process which were different from the principals' perceptions. Female principals stated that the selection procedures were not well understood and that opportunities for secondary principalships were not as available to females as males. Conclusions. Female principals achieved the highest scores on the ARI which indicated that they possessed the most favorable attitudes toward females. They were followed by directors of personnel, board of education presidents, superintendents and male principals, in that order. Male and female principals are equally qualified for the principalship. Female principals believe that most school system employees do not understand the principal selection procedures. Most school systems use a traditional method of principal screening. Recommendations. School systems should conduct a "self-analysis" regarding promotional procedures, should consider the "Assessment Center" approach to increase equity in the process and should disseminate information regarding promotions in a widely advertised manner. This study should be expanded with more emphasis on identification of the characteristics of successful female candidates as well as further study of the school systems which have promoted women in equitable numbers.

description: Utilizing the similarity between the spinor representation of the Dirac equation and the Maxwell equations that has been recognized since the early days of relativistic quantum mechanics, a quantum lattice (QLA) representation of unitary collision stream operators of Maxwell equations is derived for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous media. A second order accurate 4 spinor scheme is developed and tested successfully for two dimensional (2D) propagation of a Gaussian pulse in a uniform medium while for normal (1D) incidence of an electromagnetic Gaussian pulse onto a dielectric interface requires 8 component spinors. In particular, the well-known phase change, field amplitudes and profile widths are recovered by the QLA asymptotic profiles. The QLA simulations yield the time dependent electromagnetic fields as the pulse enters and straddles the dielectric boundary. QLA involves unitary interleaved noncommuting collision and streaming operators that can be coded onto a quantum computer. The noncommutation being the only reason why one perturbatively recovers the Maxwell equations.

description: This study examines a crisis intervention program which used Life Space Interviewing with emotionally disturbed children in a special education public school. Data were collected on 28 children, aged 6 to 13, to record the frequency of entry to crisis, the reasons for referral to crisis, the amount of physical restraint used, and the types of clinical LSI's conducted for one academic year. The data were also grouped according to developmental age, Verbal IQ, and length of previous treatment to determine if any trends appeared in the use of crisis within these groups. The results provide information pertinent to service and training aspects of crisis intervention in the special education and mental health fields. Data on the frequency of entry to crisis revealed a total of 1441 entries for the year. While older children used crisis less frequently at the end of the year, younger children increased their use over time. Children with above average IQ's used crisis more frequently throughout the year than other children. Those children who had been in the program more than one year used crisis more frequently than children who were new to the program and decreased their use over time. Reasons for referral included problems with peers, adults, school rules, classroom work, loss of self-control, self-request, and follow-up requested by Interviewer. Problems with peers was the most frequently cited reason for referral; classroom work was used the least. Problems with classroom work increased over time along with self-request and follow-up Interviews. Loss of self-control decreased considerably over time. Physical restraint was used 274 times during the year, with 19 percent of those incidents involving severe levels of violent behavior. Physical restraint declined during the year. The Reality Rub was the Interview used most frequently, although its use declined over time. Simultaneously, there was a substantial increase in use of New Tool Salesmanship at the end of the year. In addition to the above findings, this study also discusses the significant relationship between theory and application of Life Space Interviewing and the re-education of emotionally disturbed children.

A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF AN INTENSIVE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING EXPERIENCE ON THE SELF-ESTEEM AND LOCUS OF CONTROL OF A GROUP OF HIGH ACHIEVING INNER CITY YOUTHS
Creators: name: Norman, Bradford
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The primary hypothesis was that an 120 hour Atari-designed programming experience would significantly enhance the self-esteem and locus of control of a group of students and that any improvement would hold up over an eight month period. The treatment group was 21 ninth and tenth grade students, all of black racial origin, from a selective, public, college-preparatory high school in the District of Columbia. No student in the treatment group had any prior computer experience. The independent variable consisted of a computer programming experience designed by Atari for use at their summer computer camps and was held in the Future Center of the Capital Children's Museum for a month during the summer. The students were introduced to computer graphics, computer sound generation, and text processing during the first three weeks and were encouraged to design an independent project during the fourth. Self-esteem was measured by Coopersmith's Self-Esteem Inventory, and locus of control by Crandall, Katkovsky, and Crandall's Intellectual Achievement Responsibility questionnaire. The instruments were administered to the treatment group before and after the treatment and again eight months later. The third administration was given to the treatment group and a comparison group drawn from classmates of the treatment group. Self-esteem mean scores increased significantly between the pretest and posttest and regressed slightly on the follow-up test given eight months later. However, the mean difference between the pretest and the follow-up remained significant. Locus of control mean scores increased significantly between the pretest and posttest, and made a non-significant gain between the posttest and the follow-up. The mean difference between the pretest and the follow-up for locus of control was significant. No significant difference was found between the treatment and the comparison group for either locus of control or self-esteem. All results are reported at a p < .05 level of significance or better. The findings suggest that self-esteem and locus of control can be enhanced by a computer programming experience and that the gain can be more than a short-term shift.

description: Antenna efficiency is one of the most important figures-of-merit of a radio telescope for observations especially at millimeter wavelengths or shorter wavelengths, even for a multibeam radio telescope. To analyze a system with a beam waveguide, a lossless antenna consisting of two apertures in series is considered in the frame of the scalar wave approximation. We found that the antenna efficiency can be evaluated with the field distribution over the second aperture, and that the antenna efficiency is factorized into three factors: efficiencies of beam coupling, transmission spillover, and reception spillover. The factorization is applicable to general aperture-type antennas with beam waveguides, and can relate the aperture efficiency to the pupil function. We numerically confirmed our factorization with an optical simulation. This evaluation enables us to manage the aberrations and is useful in design of multibeam radio telescopes.

Harnessing Multi-View Perspective of Light Fields for Low-Light Imaging

description: Light Field (LF) offers unique advantages such as post-capture refocusing and depth estimation, but low-light conditions limit these capabilities. To restore low-light LFs we should harness the geometric cues present in different LF views, which is not possible using single-frame low-light enhancement techniques. We, therefore, propose a deep neural network for Low-Light Light Field (L3F) restoration, which we refer to as L3Fnet. The proposed L3Fnet not only performs the necessary visual enhancement of each LF view but also preserves the epipolar geometry across views. We achieve this by adopting a two-stage architecture for L3Fnet. Stage-I looks at all the LF views to encode the LF geometry. This encoded information is then used in Stage-II to reconstruct each LF view. To facilitate learning-based techniques for low-light LF imaging, we collected a comprehensive LF dataset of various scenes. For each scene, we captured four LFs, one with near-optimal exposure and ISO settings and the others at different levels of low-light conditions varying from low to extreme low-light settings. The effectiveness of the proposed L3Fnet is supported by both visual and numerical comparisons on this dataset. To further analyze the performance of low-light reconstruction methods, we also propose an L3F-wild dataset that contains LF captured late at night with almost zero lux values. No ground truth is available in this dataset. To perform well on the L3F-wild dataset, any method must adapt to the light level of the captured scene. To do this we propose a novel pre-processing block that makes L3Fnet robust to various degrees of low-light conditions. Lastly, we show that L3Fnet can also be used for low-light enhancement of single-frame images, despite it being engineered for LF data. We do so by converting the single-frame DSLR image into a form suitable to L3Fnet, which we call as pseudo-LF.

Next-to-leading order QCD predictions for dijet photoproduction in lepton-nucleus scattering at the future EIC and at possible LHeC, HE-LHeC, and FCC facilities

description: We calculate cross sections for inclusive dijet photoproduction in electron-nucleus scattering in the kinematics of the future EIC and the possible LHeC, HE-LHeC, and the FCC using next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD and nCTEQ15 and EPPS16 nuclear parton density functions (nPDFs). We make predictions for distributions in the dijet average transverse momentum ${\bar p}_T$, the average rapidity $\barη$, the observed nuclear momentum fraction $x_A^{\rm obs}$, and the observed photon momentum fraction $x_γ^{\rm obs}$. Comparing the kinematic reaches of the four colliders, we find that an increase of the collision energy from the EIC to the LHeC and beyond extends the coverage in all four considered variables. Notably, the LHeC and HE-LHeC will allow one to probe the dijet cross section down to $x_A^{\rm obs} \sim 10^{-4}$ (down to $x_A^{\rm obs} \sim 10^{-5}$ at the FCC). The ratio of the dijet cross sections on a nucleus and the proton, $σ_A/(Aσ_p)$, depends on $x_A^{\rm obs}$ in a similar way as the ratio of gluon densities, $g_A(x_A,μ^2)/[A g_p(x_A,μ^2)]$, for which current nPDFs predict a strong suppression due to nuclear shadowing in the region $x_A^{\rm obs} < 0.01$. Dijet photoproduction at future lepton-nucleus colliders can therefore be used to test this prediction and considerably reduce the current uncertainties of nPDFs.

description: Muons in neutron stars (NSs) play especially important roles in addressing several interesting new physics questions associated with detecting as well as understanding interactions and astrophysical effects of muonphilic dark matter particles. The key model inputs for studying the latter are the total muon mass $M_μ$, the muon mass fraction $M_μ/M_{\rm NS}$ over the NS mass $M_{\rm NS}$ and the muon radial density profile $ρ_μ(r)$ in NSs of varying masses. We investigate these quantities within a minimum model for the core of NSs consisting of neutrons, protons, electrons, and muons using an explicitly isospin-dependent parametric Equation of State (EOS) constrained by available nuclear laboratory experiments and the latest astrophysical observations of NS masses, radii and tidal deformabilities. We found that the absolutely maximum muon mass $M_μ$ and its mass fraction $M_μ/M_{\rm NS}$ in the most massive NSs allowed by causality are about 0.025 $M_\odot$ and 1.1\%, respectively. For the most massive NS of mass 2.14 $M_\odot$ observed so far, they reduce to about 0.020 $M_\odot$ and 0.9\%, respectively. We also study respective effects of individual parameters describing the EOS of high-density neutron-rich nucleonic matter on the muon contents in NSs with varying masses. We found that the most important but uncertain nuclear physics ingredient for determining the muon contents in NSs is the high-density nuclear symmetry energy.

description: The seemingly inappropriate aggressive responses of some children to apparently benign stimuli have been examined from various perspectives. Researchers have found, in aggressive boys, an attributional bias to infer hostility to varying classes of social stimuli. This tendency of boys to respond aggressively varies with (a) how ambiguous stimuli are on the accidental/intentional dimension and (b) what boys expect their peers' intentions to be (hostile or not). Researchers have hypothesized that a response cycle of aggression, retaliation, and expectancy of further aggression results in aggressive boys' biased judgments of others' intentions. Research in this area has focussed almost exclusively on boys. However studies of sex differences in aggression suggest that similar mechanisms operate for both sexes but manifest themselves differently. Girls are more likely to engage in verbal aggression or in indirect aggression rather than physical aggression. The subject selection and evaluation materials used in previous research have focussed on physical acts as the primary determinates of aggressive behavior. In the present study the sociometric questions, teacher-rating scale, and dependent measures were formulated to measure both verbal and physical aggression. In the present study a puzzle completion task, with a negative, frustrating outcome, was used to examine attributional biases in aggressive girls. This task was previously utilized, with boys, by Dodge (1980). Expectancy of peers' intentions was manipulated to exposing subjects to an actual negative outcome, seemingly instigated by an unknown peer, under one of three conditions (intentional, accidental or ambiguous). Subjects were then exposed to the ambiguous, frustrating outcome of the puzzle completion task. Aggressive girls were found to make significantly more hostile attributions than nonaggressive girls in the accidental and ambiguous condition. As expected, the verbal and indirect measures were more potent in assessing hostility than the physical measure of aggressive behavior. Aggressive girls were also found to make attributions based on their expectancy of peers' hostility, to form such expectations on the basis of little information, and to apply those expectations to an ambiguous event.

description: Holographic dark energy (HDE) describes the vacuum energy in a cosmic IR region whose total energy saturates the limit of avoiding the collapse into a black hole. HDE predicts that the dark energy equation of the state transiting from greater than the $-1$ regime to less than $-1$, accelerating the Universe slower at the early stage and faster at the late stage. We propose the HDE as a new {\it physical} resolution to the Hubble constant discrepancy between the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and local measurements. With Planck CMB and galaxy baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) data, we fit the HDE prediction of the Hubble constant as $H_0^{}\!=\, 71.54\pm1.78\,\mathrm{km\,s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}}$, consistent with local $H_0^{}$ measurements by LMC Cepheid Standards (R19) at $1.4σ$ level. Combining Planck+BAO+R19, we find the HDE parameter $c=0.51\pm0.02$ and $H_0^{}\! = 73.12\pm 1.14\,\mathrm{km \,s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}}$, which fits cosmological data at all redshifts.

A new approach to spherically symmetric junction surfaces and the matching of FLRW regions
Creators: name: Kirchner, Ulrich
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate timelike junctions (with surface layer) between spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein-field equation. In contrast to previous investigations this is done in a coordinate system in which the junction surface motion is absorbed in the metric, while all coordinates are continuous at the junction surface. The evolution equations for all relevant quantities are derived. We discuss the no-surface layer case (boundary surface) and study the behaviour for small surface energies. It is shown that one should expect cases in which the speed of light is reached within a finite proper time. We carefully discuss necessary and sufficient conditions for a possible matching of spherically symmetric sections. For timelike junctions between spherically symmetric space-time sections we show explicitly that the time component of the Lanczos equation always reduces to an identity (independently of the surface equation of state). The results are applied to the matching of FLRW models. We discuss `vacuum bubbles' and closed-open junctions in detail. As illustrations several numerical integration results are presented, some of them indicate that the junction surface can reach the speed of light within a finite time.

Implications of Abiotic Oxygen Buildup for Earth-like Complex Life

description: One of the chief paradoxes of molecular oxygen (O$_2$) is that it is an essential requirement for multicellular eukaryotes on Earth while simultaneously posing a threat to their survival via the formation of reactive oxygen species. In this paper, the constraints imposed by O$_2$ on Earth-like complex life are invoked to explore whether worlds with abiotic O$_2$ inventories can harbor such organisms. By taking the major O$_2$ sources and sinks of Earth-like planets into account using a simple model, it is suggested that worlds that receive time-averaged X-ray and extreme ultraviolet fluxes that are $\gtrsim 10$ times higher than Earth might not be capable of hosting complex lifeforms because the photolysis of molecules such as water may lead to significant O$_2$ buildup. Methods for testing this hypothesis by searching for anticorrelations between biosignatures and indicators of abiotic O$_2$ atmospheres are described. In the event, however, that life successfully adapts to high-oxygen environments, these worlds could permit the evolution of large and complex organisms.

FACTORS THAT PROPEL MALE COLLEGE STUDENTS TOWARD OR AWAY FROM GREEK LIFE IN PARTICULAR UNIVERSITY SETTINGS
Creators: name: Boozer, Harold Edward
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this study was to identify influences which propel male college students toward or away from Greek organizations in particular university settings. The 1982 study data were elicited through the Greek Membership Opinionnaire (GMO), a 16-item survey tool developed for this study. Each item presents a factor, associated with influencing joining or not joining a college fraternity, cited in the literature. The GMO incorporates five Likert-type response alternatives, "negligible" to "very strong", for respondent use. The study population was composed of Greeks and Independents on four campuses: The American University, a private university; Frostburg State College, a coed liberal arts college; George Mason University, an "emerging" university; and Howard University, a predominately Black university. The study found that the major influences among the 16 presented on the GMO which propelled the 117 Greek pledge respondents to fraternity membership are: (1) "impressions of the present individual members," (2) "fraternities' potential to facilitate social relationships," (3) "social activities sponsored by Greek organizations," and (4) "leadership development opportunity offered by fraternities." The influences which the sample of 135 independents reported as most influential to their decision to remain independent are: (1) "impressions of the present individual members," (2) "time required to complete pledging," (3) the cost of fraternity membership," and (4) "social activities sponsored by Greek organizations." At specific campuses, excepting Howard University, a predominately Black campus, the responses of Greek and independent samples followed a similar pattern. Leadership development opportunities offered by fraternities was a more important reason for joining a fraternity among pledges on the predominately "Black" campus than among those on the predominately "white" campus. The study concluded that how current members are perceived by potential members is the key factor to recruitment. It is people who draw pledges to or propel independents away from Greek organizations. The factors that influence college males to not join a fraternity are somewhat similar despite the general type of institution they attend. At The American University, Frostburg State College, and George Mason University, the affiliation needs of freshmen who join fraternities for group social activities are strongest than those of freshmen who do not.
