description: The coming generation of galaxy surveys will provide measurements of galaxy clustering with unprecedented accuracy and data size, which will allow us to test cosmological models at much higher precision than achievable previously. This means that we must have more accurate theoretical predictions to compare with future observational data. As a first step towards more accurate modelling of the redshift space distortions (RSD) of small-scale galaxy clustering in modified gravity (MG) cosmologies, we investigate the validity of the so-called Skew-T (ST) probability distribution function (PDF) of halo pairwise peculiar velocities in these models. We show that, combined with the streaming model of RSD, the ST PDF substantially improves the small-scale predictions by incorporating skewness and kurtosis, for both $Λ$CDM and two leading MG models: $f(R)$ gravity and the DGP braneworld model. The ST model reproduces the velocity PDF and redshift-space halo clustering measured from MG $N$-body simulations very well down to $\sim 5 \, h^{-1}\mathrm{Mpc}$. In particular, we investigate the enhancements of halo pairwise velocity moments with respect to $Λ$CDM for a larger range of MG variants than previous works, and present simple explanations to the behaviours observed. By performing a simple Fisher analysis, we find a significnat increase in constraining power to detect modifications of General Relativity by introducing small-scale information in the RSD analyses.

description: Many-Fermion Dynamics-nuclear, or MFDn, is a configuration interaction (CI) code for nuclear structure calculations. It is a platform-independent Fortran 90 code using a hybrid MPI+X programming model. For CPU platforms the application has a robust and optimized OpenMP implementation for shared memory parallelism. As part of the NESAP application readiness program for NERSC's latest Perlmutter system, MFDn has been updated to take advantage of accelerators. The current mainline GPU port is based on OpenACC. In this work we describe some of the key challenges of creating an efficient GPU implementation. Additionally, we compare the support of OpenMP and OpenACC on AMD and NVIDIA GPUs.

description: Feature attributions are a common paradigm for model explanations due to their simplicity in assigning a single numeric score for each input feature to a model. In the actionable recourse setting, wherein the goal of the explanations is to improve outcomes for model consumers, it is often unclear how feature attributions should be correctly used. With this work, we aim to strengthen and clarify the link between actionable recourse and feature attributions. Concretely, we propose a variant of SHAP, Counterfactual SHAP (CF-SHAP), that incorporates counterfactual information to produce a background dataset for use within the marginal (a.k.a. interventional) Shapley value framework. We motivate the need within the actionable recourse setting for careful consideration of background datasets when using Shapley values for feature attributions with numerous synthetic examples. Moreover, we demonstrate the efficacy of CF-SHAP by proposing and justifying a quantitative score for feature attributions, counterfactual-ability, showing that as measured by this metric, CF-SHAP is superior to existing methods when evaluated on public datasets using tree ensembles.

description: In this work we study many-body 'steady states' that arise in the non-Hermitian generalisation of the non-interacting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model at a finite density of fermions. We find that the hitherto known phase diagrams for this system, derived from the single-particle gap closings, in fact correspond to distinct non-equilibrium phases, which either carry finite currents or are dynamical insulators where particles are entrapped. Each of these have distinct quasi-particle excitations and steady state correlations and entanglement properties. Looking at finite-sized systems, we further modulate the boundary to uncover the topological features in such steady states -- in particular the emergence of leaky boundary modes. Using a variety of analytical and numerical methods we develop a theoretical understanding of the various phases and their transitions, and uncover the rich interplay of non-equilibrium many-body physics, quantum entanglement and topology in a simple looking, yet a rich model system.

description: Dirofilaria are natural filarial parasites of dogs, cats and foxes. Human dirofilariasis is an accidental zoonotic infection caused by species Dirofilaria such as D.immitis, D.tenuis and D.repens. Human ocular dirofilariasis were initially reported from Kerala. But for a solitary case of oral dirofilariasis, it has not been reported from Tamil Nadu. We report a case of subcutaneous human dirofilariasis of the eyelid in a 37 years old woman caused by D. repens.
Is the period really "pissed"? The effect of message length and punctuation on perceptions in digital communication
Creators: name: Kovacic, Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2024

description: Including a period at the end of a one-word text message has been reported to elicit perceptions of insincerity and negativity. The current study replicated and extended previous findings (Gunraj et al., 2016; Houghton et al., 2018) to assess whether these negative perceptions would hold in medium and long messages. Undergraduate psychology students (N = 212) read 30 experimental message exchanges, either affirmative, neutral, or negative in valence, as if in conversation with a fictitious friend. Exchanges ended in a message with one of three response lengths: short, medium, and long; half with a final period, half without. Participants rated how they thought the friend felt about the idea they had messaged about, from 1 (strongly negative) to 7 (strongly positive). Across all valence conditions, short messages with a period were seen as more negative than those without. However, these perceptions did not extend to medium and long messages, which showed no significant differences in ratings between messages with and without a period. These findings imply that a simple punctuation mark can be used to convey pragmatic information to compensate for extralinguistic cues used in face-to-face communication. However, as messages get longer, the period seems to be perceived as serving a more grammatical function, and less as a subtle negative emotional cue. These findings have important implications for the way that people compose and interpret digital messages.

description: The microbiome consists of all of the microorganisms found in and on our bodies. Advancements in sequencing technologies in the last two decades have identified the microbiome as a key player in maintaining our health, or homeostasis. The microbiome helps with several physiological processes including food digestion, immune system regulation, and pathogen defense. However, when the microbiome is in a perturbed or a “dysbiotic” state, homeostasis is lost, and this often predisposes and/or propagates disease. The presence of dysbiosis in diseases such as cancers and autoimmune disorders, highlights the importance of the microbiome in overall human health.
description: In the introduction of this thesis, I discuss prior studies on the microbiome, bioinformatic analysis, and the knowledge gaps in the field. The following chapters discuss our published work on dysbiosis in patients with breast cancer and multiple sclerosis as well as factors influencing the microbiome, such as dietary intervention. Additionally, I present a novel bioinformatics tool that utilizes unsupervised machine learning to address limitations in microbiome analysis.
description: Finally, I discuss our unpublished recent work, an investigation of both the oral microbiome and metabolome compositions in people with MS (pwMS). There is substantial evidence that the gut microbiome influences MS pathobiology, however there is limited data on the role of the oral microbiome (the second most diverse microbiome community) in MS. Additionally, the salivary metabolome is altered in patients with other neurological diseases but has not been studied in pwMS. Therefore, I performed studies to address these knowledge gaps and identified an oral microbiome and metabolome signature unique to pwMS. My results provide potential biomarkers for MS diagnostics, new targets for individualized therapies, and evidence that the oral microbiome is pivotal in understanding the pathobiology of MS.

description: Ships are often considered as the backbone of the global economy. A fundamental unresolved problem is how to best operate fleets, given a sudden increase in demand, such as that reported following the first months of the COVID19 pandemic. Advancing our knowledge of the supply chain's delicate equilibrium between demand and supply, requires analyzing huge amounts of ship-related positional data, thus revealing which areas should be avoided due to potential congestion buildup and where cargoes should be rerouted to. Herein, we analyze a large-scale high-resolution mobility data set of more than 7,000 container ships, collected over an extended period of 36 months, covering the entire globe, so as to measure quantitatively the effects of the pandemic post-hoc on the supply chain. To further understand these fine-grained mobility patterns, we introduce a mobility model for calculating ship presence times (or waiting times) at a global scale. We then reveal the congestion points, which strongly correlate with port waiting areas and anchorages. We analyse the data to reveal how times at port areas were affected by the rising number of ships waiting to load or unload cargo. Following this, we transform this data into a ‘port to port’ graph mapping the international flow of  containerised trade. We apply methods of graph theory, complex networks, and multivariate statistics to unravel the hidden relationships between global maritime structure and ship time distribution.This analysis is novel in respect to the size of the data analyzed, the algorithmic approach and the impact of the results which reveal some affinities between pre-COVID and post-COVID shipping patterns.

Then we are framing the results in a broader debate on parental support, use of learning digital tools and gender bias in mathematic learning emphasising the relevance of gender stereotype. In the concluding part to main arguments are exposed:

The use of digital tools for learning at home can enhance the social inequalities in education due to the persistent digital divide. This could be mitigated by a better equipment and connectivity of schools in social unfavoured neighbourhoods as well as other social measures to support socioeconomically unfavoured families.

Due to the persistence of gender stereotypes at school and at home, the use digital tools as serious videogames on gender at school and at home can establish a shared learning environment between schools and families opening spaces for reflection on gender stereotypes.

description: The minimal ferrimagnetism by Lieb's theorem emerges on the T-shaped bipartite lattice composed of four sites, which can be realized experimentally, just as Nagaoka ferromagnetism has been demonstrated experimentally using a quartet quantum-dot(J.P.Dehollain et al., Nature 579, 528 (2020).). In this paper, the Kondo effect on this ferrimagnetism is theoretically studied. The magnetic moment $S=1$ is screened in two steps by the Kondo effect and the series conductance $g_{s}$ is strongly suppressed to $g_{s}\simeq 0$, while the parallel conductance $g_{p}$ has the maximum value $g_{p}\simeq 4e^{2}/h$. The robustness of these properties against a parameter change toward reducing the Lieb's ferrimagnetism is also discussed, showing the scenarios for entanglement of the degrees of freedom toward the ground state.

description: The aim of ramp metering is to improve the highway traffic conditions by an appropriate regulation of the inflow from the on-ramps to the highway mainstream. Our presentation rests on several improvements: 1) Our simulation techniques do not need contrarily to other approaches any heuristic fundamental law. 2) There is no need of crucial time-varying quantities, like the critical density, which is most difficult to estimate correctly online. 3) Our feedback loop, which is stemming from model-free control, is easy to implement and shows an excellent robustness with respect to model mismatch. Several computer experiments are displayed and discussed.

description: If plant seeds survive the biogas production chain, weed problems could arise. The extent to which seeds from wild plants can survive anaerobic digestion (AD) and ensiling was investigated. AD reduced seed viability, with the extent of the reduction being determined by an interplay of seed characteristics and process parameters. Responses of seed viability ranged from complete inactivation to a steep decline after a lag phase to an initial increase in viability (hormesis). Ensiling did not completely inactivate any of the tested species with physical dormancy, but all of them without it.

description: The physically realistic model of compact stars undergoing gravitational collapse in $ f(R) $ gravity has been developed. We consider a more general model $ R + f(R) = R + k R^m $ and describe the interior space-time of gravitationally collapsing stars with separable-form of metric admitting homothetic killing vector. We then investigate the junction conditions to match the interior space-time with exterior space-time. Considering all junction conditions, we find analytical solutions describing interior space-time metric, energy density, pressures, and heat flux density of the compact stars undergoing gravitational collapse. We impose the energy conditions to the model for describing the realistic collapse of physically possible matter distribution for particular models of $GR$, $ R+k R^2 $ and $ R+k R^4 $ gravity. The comprehensive graphical analysis of all energy conditions show that the model is physically acceptable and realistic. We additionally investigate the physical properties of collapsing stars which are useful to decipher the inherent nature of such gravitationally collapsing stars.

The effects of a pilot virtual simulation intervention on critical thinking and clinical judgment abilities in Associate-degree nursing students
Creators: name: Kiefer-Necklen, Geraldine P
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: Nursing educators are challenged to find strategies that will develop critical thinking and clinical judgment abilities in students. As technology has advanced, the use of virtual simulation platforms has increased in use in nursing courses. This study examined the effect of a pilot virtual simulation intervention on critical thinking and clinical judgment abilities in Associate Degree Nursing students. A convenience sample of thirteen students from a community college in Northern New Jersey participated in this pre-test, post-test study. The increase in critical thinking and clinical judgment test scores were not statistically significant, yet there was a noted increase in group mean and several individual scores. No noted correlation was observed in the critical thinking and clinical judgment test scores post virtual simulation cases. Age, gender, ethnicity, and prior experience in healthcare were not significant predictors of critical thinking and clinical judgment abilities post virtual simulation cases. The increase in mean and individual test scores showed promise for feasibility for testing this intervention on a larger scale. As virtual simulation is being used more in nursing education, additional research is warranted to examine the impact of this teaching strategy on critical thinking and clinical judgment abilities.

description: We present a new method for embedding a causal set into an interval of Minkowski spacetime. The method uses spacetime volumes for causally related elements to define causal set analogs of Minkowski inner products. These are used to construct matrices of inner products which are then factored using the singular value decomposition to give coordinates in Minkowski spacetime. Results are presented showing good quality embeddings into Minkowski spacetime for dimensions d=2,3,4. The method applies in any dimension and does not require spacelike distances to be used as an input. It offers a new way to define spatial orientation and spacelike distances in a causal set.

description: We construct a large class of explicit, asymptotically flat and regular wormhole solutions in higher order scalar tensor theories. The solutions are vacuum solutions of scalar tensor theory and no matter (exotic or regular) is introduced in order to support them. They are constructed via a general disformal transformation of a seed black hole solution. The seed solutions belong to a particular Horndeski theory which requires the presence of all extended Galileons and has a higher dimensional Lovelock origin. As a result, the resulting wormholes are always solutions of general beyond Horndeski theory. The particular class of wormholes we study are parametrised by their ADM mass and two coupling constants of the theory, one related to their higher dimensional Lovelock origin and one to the disformal transformation itself. The latter of the coupling constants affects the throat size of the wormhole solutions, thus giving them a compact or non-compact nature, as well as their properties.

description: Parafermions modes are non-Abelian anyons which were introduced as $\mathbb{Z}_N$ generalizations of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ Majorana states. In particular, $\mathbb{Z}_3$ parafermions can be used to produce Fibonacci anyons, laying a path towards universal topological quantum computation. Due to their fractional nature, much of theoretical work on $\mathbb{Z}_3$ parafermions has relied on bosonization methods or parafermionic quasi-particles. In this work, we introduce a representation of $\mathbb{Z}_3$ parafermions in terms of purely fermionic models operators in the t-J regime. We establish the equivalency of a family of lattice fermionic models written in the $t-J$ model basis with a Kitaev-like chain supporting free $\mathbb{Z}_3$ parafermonic modes at its ends. By using density matrix renormalization group calculations, we are able to characterize the topological phase transition and study the effect of local operators (doping and magnetic fields) on the spatial localization of the parafermionic modes and their stability. Moreover, we discuss the necessary ingredients towards realizing $\mathbb{Z}_3$ parafermions in strongly interacting electronic systems.

description: We study the emergence of partonic behavior in scattering processes at large Mandelstam's variable $s$ from string amplitudes in holographic backgrounds. We generalize the approach of Polchinski and Strassler (2001) in two ways. (i) We analyze several holographic confining backgrounds in particular the hard wall model, the soft wall model and Witten's model. (ii) In addition to deriving the asymptotic behavior of the amplitudes at fixed angle and in the Regge limit, we also expand the amplitudes around their poles, integrate over the holographic direction and then re-sum the expansion. Due to dependence of the string tension on the holographic coordinate, the resulting singularities take the form of branch points rather than poles and the amplitudes display branch cuts and acquire a finite imaginary part. This may signal the failure of the PS prescription to reproduce the correct analytic structure at low energies. We also observe that the peaks are more pronounced in the region of small $s$ but fade away for large $s$. In the fixed angle approximation we find in the hard and soft wall models that ${\cal A}\sim s^{2-Δ/2}$ whereas in Witten's model ${\cal A} \sim s^{3-Δ/2}$ and ${\cal A} \sim s^{7/3-2Δ/3}$ for the 11D and 10D formulations, respectively. In the Regge regime ${\cal A}\sim {s^{2}}\,t^{-2+α}\,(\log{s/ t})^{-1+α}$ where $α$ is the power found in the fixed angle regime. Using the pole expansion the result for each model is $Re[{\cal A}] \sim s^{-1}$, $Im[{\cal A}] \sim s^α$. We compute the corresponding amplitudes for mesons using open strings and find qualitatively similar results as for closed strings.

description: We investigate a relativistic positioning system where the coordinates of the users are determined by the proper times broadcasted by clocks in motion in spacetime: these are the so-called emission coordinates. In particular, we focus on emission coordinates in flat spacetime: in this case, we show that these coordinates can be defined using an approach based on simple geometrical properties of geodesic triangles. We analyse the 2-dimensional case and then we show how the whole procedure can be applied to 4 dimensions, also in terms of ordinary three-dimensional spheres. An analytic solution for the coordinates of the receiver is obtained. The solution remains valid at almost any place, in particular when redundancy in the number of emitters can be exploited.

description: We investigate ionospheric flow patterns occurring on 28 January 2002 associated with the development of the nightside distorted end of a J-shaped transpolar arc (nightside distorted TPA). Based on the nightside ionospheric flows near to the TPA, detected by the SuperDARN (Super Dual Auroral Radar Network) radars, we discuss how the distortion of the nightside end toward the pre-midnight sector is produced. The J-shaped TPA was seen under southward Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) conditions, in the presence of a dominant dawnward IMF-By component. At the onset time of the nightside distorted TPA, particular equatorward plasma flows at the TPA growth point were observed in the post-midnight sector, flowing out of the polar cap and then turning toward the pre-midnight sector of the main auroral oval along the distorted nightside part of the TPA. We suggest that these plasma flows play a key role in causing the nightside distortion of the TPA. SuperDARN also found ionospheric flows typically associated with Tail Reconnection during IMF Northward Non-substorm Intervals (TRINNIs) on the nightside main auroral oval, before and during the TPA interval, indicating that nightside magnetic reconnection is an integral process to the formation of the nightside distorted TPA. During the TPA growth, SuperDARN also detected anti-sunward flows across the open-closed field line boundary on the dayside that indicate the occurrence of low-latitude dayside reconnection and ongoing Dungey cycle driving. This suggests that nightside distorted TPA can grow even in Dungey-cycle-driven plasma flow patterns.

description: A validation of the COMSOL based Scattering efficiency calculations is shown using the boundary element method (BEM) based MNPBEM (metallic nano-particle BEM) codes \cite{hohenester2012mnpbem} as well as through the analytical expressions from the electromagnetic scattering theory \cite{Bohren1998}. It also provides a discussion on the reflectance spectra of the TiO$_2$ coupled-dipolar antenna structure on a Ag reflector layer and the optimization curves for the TiO$_2$ cylinder's length, $L$ under plane wave excitation.
Search for heavy resonances decaying to a pair of Lorentz-boosted Higgs bosons in final states with leptons and a bottom quark pair at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV

description: A search for new heavy resonances decaying to a pair of Higgs bosons (HH) in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is presented. Data were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016-2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. Resonances with a mass between 0.8 and 4.5 TeV are considered using events in which one Higgs boson decays into a bottom quark pair and the other into final states with either one or two charged leptons. Specifically, the single-lepton decay channel HH $\to$ $\mathrm{b\bar{b}}$WW$^*$ $\to$ $\mathrm{b\bar{b}}\ellνq\bar{q}'$ and the dilepton decay channels HH $\to$ $\mathrm{b\bar{b}}$WW$^*$ $\to$ $\mathrm{b\bar{b}}\ellν\ellν$ and HH $\to$ $\mathrm{b\bar{b}}ττ$ $\to$ $\mathrm{b\bar{b}}\ellνν\ellνν$ are examined, where $\ell$ in the final state corresponds to an electron or muon. The signal is extracted using a two-dimensional maximum likelihood fit of the H $\to$ $\mathrm{b\bar{b}}$ jet mass and HH invariant mass distributions. No significant excess above the standard model expectation is observed in data. Model-independent exclusion limits are placed on the product of the cross section and branching fraction for narrow spin-0 and spin-2 massive bosons decaying to HH. The results are also interpreted in the context of radion and bulk graviton production in models with a warped extra spatial dimension. The results provide the most stringent limits to date for X $\to$ HH signatures with final-state leptons and at some masses provide the most sensitive limits of all X $\to$ HH searches.

description: We consider the resonant production and detection of charged mesons in existing and near-future neutrino scattering experiments with $E_ν\lesssim 1$ TeV, characteristic of high-energy atmospheric neutrinos or collider-sourced neutrino beams. The most promising candidate is the reaction $\barν_e e^-\rightarrow ρ^-\rightarrow π^- π^0$. We discuss detection prospects at FASER$ν$, the LHC's forward physics facility with nuclear emulsion (FASER$ν$2) and liquid argon detectors (FLArE) and estimate the number of expected resonance-mediated events in the existing data set of IceCube. We also outline possible detection strategies for the different experimental environments. We predict dozens of events at the forward physics facility and identify cuts with order one signal efficiency that could potentially suppress backgrounds at FASER$ν$, yielding a signal-to-background ratio larger than 1. Antineutrino-induced $s$-channel meson resonances are yet unobserved Standard Model scattering processes which offer a realistic target for near-term experiments.

description: Detectors based on liquid argon (LAr) often require surfaces that can shift vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light and reflect the visible shifted light. For the LAr instrumentation of the LEGEND-200 neutrinoless double beta decay experiment, several square meters of wavelength-shifting reflectors (WLSR) were prepared: the reflector Tetratex (TTX) was in-situ evaporated with the wavelength shifter tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB). For even larger detectors, TPB evaporation will be more challenging and plastic films of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) are considered as an option to ease scalability. In this work, we first characterized the absorption (and reflectivity) of PEN, TPB (and TTX) films in response to visible light. We then measured TPB and PEN coupled to TTX in a LAr setup equipped with a VUV sensitive photomultiplier tube. The effective light yield in the setup was first measured using an absorbing reference sample, and the VUV reflectivity of TTX quantified. The characterization and simulation of the setup along with the measurements and modelling of the optical parameters of TPB, PEN and TTX allowed to estimate the quantum efficiency (QE) of TPB and PEN in LAr (at 87K) for the first time: these were found to be above 67% and 49%, respectively (at 90% CL). These results provide relevant input for the optical simulations of experiments that use TPB in LAr, such as LEGEND-200, and for experiments that plan to use TPB or PEN to shift VUV scintillation light.
Factors influencing risk perception accuracy within the context of health information

description: Current literature suggests that probabilistic genetic risk information is difficult for the public to understand, resulting in inaccurate perceptions of genetic risk information. This is problematic, given evidence of subsequent influences on health attitudes and behaviours. The present study explored the impact of factors related to the risk presentation, such as risk context and susceptibility, on risk estimate accuracy. Our primary hypotheses were: 1. risk estimate overestimation will be greatest at low risk; 2a. risk estimate overestimation will be greater for genetic contexts; 2b. individual’s estimate standard deviations will be smaller in the genetic condition; 3. there will be an interaction between risk context and susceptibility. A total of 212 participants (female n = 152, male n = 40, non-binary n = 3, Mage = 30.7 years) completed an online survey where they gave risk estimate responses to vignettes describing fictional diseases. A 2x6 mixed ANOVA revealed a significant difference in magnitude and direction of accuracy between risk levels, supporting hypothesis 1 predictions, with a trend of overestimating low risks and underestimating high risks. Hypotheses 2a, 2b and 3 were not supported, with no evidence of response differences between genetic/lifestyle conditions and thus no evidence of a genetic determinism bias. These results suggest that regardless of heath test type, all healthcare professionals and companies should exercise caution when communicating health risk information, with specific considerations of the demonstrated overestimation/underestimation trend and worse accuracy of low numeracy groups.

description: By analyzing existing data on pseudoscalar charmonium decays, we obtain the ratio of the branching fractions of $η_c(2S)$ and $η_c$ decays into ten different final states with light hadrons. For the first time, we test the two existing theoretical predictions of these decays, and find that the experimental data are significantly different from both of them. The lack of observation of any decay mode with higher rate in $η_c(2S)$ than in $η_c$ decays suggests very unusual decay dynamics in pseudoscalar charmonium decays to be identified. We also report the first model-independent evaluation of the partial width of $η_c(2S)\to γγ$ ($2.21_{-0.64}^{+0.88}$ keV) and improved determination of that of $η_c\to γγ$ ($5.43_{-0.38}^{+0.41}$ keV). The latter shows a tension with the most recent lattice QCD calculation.
