Lies in a Time of Threat: Betrayal Blindness and the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Exit polls from the 2004 U.S. presidential election indicated overwhelming support for President Bush among voters who said they valued honesty, even though the Bush administration had been sharply criticized for deceiving the public, especially concerning the reasons for invading Iraq. A psychological theory recently developed to help explain memory loss in trauma survivors sheds light on this paradox. Betrayal Trauma Theory ( Freyd, 1996 ) states that memory impairment is greatest when a victim is dependent on the perpetrator. The theory also predicts who will be “blind” to signs of deception—those who are emotionally or financially dependent on the person who is lying. Although every American is dependent on the U.S. President to some extent, religious conservatives may be more psychologically dependent than others. Because they believe their core values are under attack, they depend on powerful leaders such as President Bush to defend these values. This psychological dependence may make it difficult for them to notice the administration's deceptions.
HexMage - Balancování setkání v hexové aréně

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Title: HexMage - Encounter Balancing in Hex Arena Author: Jakub Arnold Department: Department of Software and Computer Science Education Supervisor: Mgr. Jakub Gemrot, Department of Software and Computer Science Education Abstract: Procedural content generation (PCG) is mostly examined in the con- text of map/environment creation, rather than generating the actual game char- acters. The goal of this thesis is to design a turn-based RPG-like game with perfect information for which we can generate balanced encounters. The game consists of a hex-based arena in which two teams fight. Each team consists of a few player controller characters with unique abilities. We generate the attributes of these abilities in order to make the encounter balanced. We will also build an AI that can be used to automatically play-test the PCG algorithm. The goal is to generate an equally strong, but different opponent. Keywords: video games encounter balancing hex arena rpg elements 1
The Nature of the New DNA Synthesized by DNA-membrane Complexes Isolated from IrradiatedE. Coli

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

SummaryThe size distribution of new DNA synthesized in vitro by DNA-membrane complexes isolated from E. coli B/r irradiated under anoxic and aerobic conditions was determined by the use of alkaline-sucrose gradients. Although there was considerable depression in synthesis, especially after irradiation under aeration, there was no appreciable change in the distribution of sizes of DNA fragments. We conclude that after irradiation the DNA–membrane complexes isolated from some bacteria synthesize DNA to an unaltered extent, whereas DNA–membrane complexes from other bacteria cease to make DNA at all. It is possible that energy deposited anywhere within the DNA–membrane structure in the intact bacterium is transferred to the initiation point for DNA synthesis.
An Approach of False Data Identification Protocol for Minimum Communication Cost in Wireless Sensor Network

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

무선 센서 네트워크에서 compromised node는 데이터 병합과정에서 허위 데이터를 삽입할 수 있다. 데이터 병합의 보안성을 위한 기존 접근 방법들은 높은 연산 부하를 요구한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 허위 데이터 삽입 공격 발생 지점을 식별하는데 소요되는 통신 부하를 최소화하는 모니터링 기반 시큐어 데이터 병합 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안된 프로토콜은 허위 데이터 삽입이 탐지되면 모니터링을 수행하고 있던 노드들의 MAC(Message Authentication Code)을 하나의 메시지로 요약하고 이를 BS(Base Station)로 전송하는 방법을 사용하며, BS는 이를 통해 공격 노드를 식별한다. 실험 결과는 제안된 프로토콜이 MAC들의 짧은 연결과 보통 연결을 사용하는 경우, 기존 연구에 비해 각각 45% 및 36% 적은 에너지를 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. In wireless sensor networks, a compromised sensor node can inject false data during data aggregation. Existing solutions of securing data aggregation require high communication cost in securing data aggregation. In this paper, we propose a monitoring-based secure data aggregation protocol that minimizes communication cost of identifying the location of false data injection attacks. The main idea is that when monitoring nodes find an injected false data, their reporting messages along with Message Authentication Codes (MACs) are summarized in a single message before sending it to the Base Station (BS). Then the BS identifies the attacking node. The simulation shows that energy consumption of the proposed protocol with short and normal concatenations of MACs are 45% and 36% lower than that of an existing protocol, respectively.
Strongly lensed type Ia supernovae as a precise late-Universe probe of measuring the Hubble constant and cosmic curvature

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Strongly lensed type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are expected to have some\nadvantages in measuring time delays of multiple images, and so they have a\ngreat potential to be developed into a powerful late-universe cosmological\nprobe. In this paper, we simulate a sample of lensed SNe Ia with time-delay\nmeasurements in the era of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Based on\nthe distance sum rule, we use lensed SNe Ia to implement model-independent\nconstraints on the Hubble constant $H_0$ and cosmic curvature parameter\n$\\Omega_K$ in the late universe. We find that if 20 lensed SNe Ia could be\nobserved, the constraint on $H_{0}$ is better than the measurement by the SH0ES\ncollaboration. When the event number of lensed SNe Ia increases to 100, the\nconstraint precision of $H_{0}$ is comparable with the result from Planck 2018\ndata. Considering 200 lensed SNe Ia events as the optimistic estimation, we\nobtain $\\Delta H_0=0.33$ $\\rm km\\ s^{-1}\\ Mpc^{-1}$ and $\\Delta\\Omega_K=0.053$.\nIn addition, we also simulate lensed quasars in different scenarios to make a\ncomparison and we find that they are still a useful cosmological probe even\nthough the constraint precision from them is much less than that obtained from\nlensed SNe Ia. In the era of LSST, the measurements of time delay from both\nlensed SNe Ia and lensed quasars are expected to yield the results of $\\Delta\nH_0=0.26 ~\\rm km\\ s^{-1}\\ Mpc^{-1}$ and $\\Delta\\Omega_K=0.044$.\n
Creating value in oversupplied markets: The case of Charlottesville, Virginia, hotels

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The hotel industry remains haunted by the room supply resulting from the 1980s building boom. Demand has recovered somewhat from the 1991 recession, but not enough to absorb the supply overhang. This mature industry, mired in overcapacity, is characterized by high exit barriers, low entry barriers, and numerous, diverse competitors. As a result the past four years have been a period of wholesale destruction of value, with many hotels selling at distressed prices. However, even under such adverse conditions, a few well-positioned players managed to achieve competitive advantage and create value. The Charlottesville, Virginia, market offers a microcosm of those conditions. Dissecting that market with an analysis of strategies shows that a differentiation strategy with careful cost containment was successful in creating value. In particular, limited-service entrants were able to sustain their competitive advantage. On the other hand, a differentiation strategy that depended on premium pricing failed to create value for three different properties. Finally, the analysis makes clear that although overhanging debt damaged value, even debt-free properties were not able to create value absent a differentiating strategy.
The fatigue responses of 3D‐printed polylactic acid (PLA) parts with varying raster angles and printing speeds

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In this study, the fatigue behavior of FDM‐3D printed polylactic acid (PLA) materials was investigated by rotary bending fatigue tests and finite element studies with varying printing speed and raster angle parameters. Fatigue test specimens were manufactured at five different raster angles (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°) and two different printing speeds (20 and 80 mm/s). The effect of printing speed was evaluated at high print speed variation range (20 and 80 mm/s print speeds). It was noticed that the change in raster angle affects the fatigue life very significantly. The highest fatigue life was obtained at 30° raster angle, while the lowest fatigue life was found at 90° raster angle. Increasing the printing speed from 20 to 80 mm/s decreased the fatigue life of all specimens. The derived results from the finite element analyses were consistent with the experimental results.
A fully non-blocking reliable multicast protocol with total ordering

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We present an efficient protocol for reliable multicast in an asynchronous network subject to link and process failures. Our protocol preserves total ordering in the sense that as processes or communication links become faulty, each group of non-faulty processes that remain connected will agree on the same sequence of messages delivered. Even processes that get disconnected deliver messages in a consistent order, i.e. message delivery is globally consistent. Although protocols that achieve reliable multicast with total ordering are known in the literature, these protocols will block the delivery of certain messages when the processes or links become faulty until membership assent is reached with the non-faulty processes. In contrast, our protocol is fully non-blocking in the sense that all messages will continue to be delivered by non-faulty processes despite a process failure or a change in membership of the multicast group. Moreover, our protocol differs from prior works in that it does not assume the existence of an underlying layer that detects link or process failures.
Ambient Vibration Test, Modal Identification and Structural Model Updating Following Bayesian Framework

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Structural health monitoring (SHM) of civil engineering structures based on vibration data includes three main components: ambient vibration test, modal identification and model updating. This paper discussed these three components in detail and proposes a general framework of SHM for practical application. First, a fast Bayesian modal identification method based on Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is introduced for efficiently extracting modal parameters together with the corresponding uncertainties from ambient vibration data. A recently developed Bayesian model updating method using Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation (MCMCS) is then discussed. To illustrate the performance of the proposed modal identification and model updating methods, a scale-down transmission tower is investigated. Ambient vibration test is conducted on the target structure to obtain modal parameters. By using the measured modal parameters, model updating is carried out. The MCMC-based Bayesian model updating method can efficiently evaluate the posterior marginal PDFs of the uncertain parameters without calculating high-dimension numerical integration, which provides posterior uncertainties for the target systems.
Phase Relations in the System Uranium—Carbon—Oxygen

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The ternary system U‐C‐O was investigated and a diagram is given expressing the phase relations in specimens which were reacted at 1800°C in vacuum or in inert atmospheres and furnace cooled. A U(C,O) single‐phase area exists in this diagram. The limit of substitutional solid solution of oxygen atoms for carbon atoms in UC is 12.5 at.%, which means that only 25% of the carbon atoms in UC can be replaced by oxygen atoms. The oxygen‐saturated UC phase, U(C 0.75 O 0.25 ), has a lattice parameter of 4.953 ± 0.001 A. The carbon monoxide partial pressures in equilibrium with this phase were determined for temperatures between 1705° and 1855°C.
Kontrollu salım sistemleri olarak modifiye edilmiş akrilik hidrojeller.

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this study, pH-sensitive poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) hydrogels were synthesized as controlled release systems in the presence of N,N-methylene bisacrylamide as crosslinker and ammonium persulfate as initiator. A set of hydrogels were used in the form they were prepared. One set of hydrogels were prepared as porous networks by incorporating sodium chloride into the reaction medium and then leaching of it after the completion of polymerization reaction. Two sets of hydrogels were modified by argon-plasma at different discharge powers. Hydrogels were characterized by 13C-NMR, XPS, SEM, ATR-FTIR, ESR as well as equilibrium degree of swelling (EDS) and contact angle measurements. Prepared hydrogels were loaded with a model antibiotic, ciprofloxacin-HCl (CPFX), and in-vitro release of CPFX from hydrogel matrices were examined in buffer solutions of varying pH values. There are two factors determining the release rates of CPFX; one is the pH-dependent solubility of CPFX and the other is EDS of the hydrogel samples. For porous samples drug loading and release rates were higher when compared to the control samples and CPFX solubility dominated over release kinetics. Plasma treatment resulted in prolonged release rates in acidic medium.
The Influence of the Role Playing Model on the Critical Thinking Ability of Class IV Students at SDN Tanjungmas

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Critical thinking is very necessary in learning because it can develop broad knowledge for students. The ability to think critically can be formed through the activities of the learning process at school. The ability to think critically is also the basis in a learning process. This model can be used to improve students' critical thinking skills. The Role Playing model can be used as a comfortable and fun learning model without losing the essence of the ongoing learning. This study aims to describe the Effect of Role Playing Model on Students' Critical Thinking Ability. This research is a quantitative research. The method used in this study is Pre-Experimental Design with a "one group pre test post test" design. The population of this study were all fourth grade students as many as 30 students. Based on the results of data analysis shows that the results of the "pre test" before being given treatment the lowest value is 40 and the highest value is 80 with an average value of 64.87 while for the "post test" after being given treatment the lowest value is 72 and the highest value is 100 with the average value is 88.00. "So, there is an increase after learning to use the role playing model. In these results, it is stated that there is an influence on the critical thinking ability of fourth grade elementary school students.
Unaccusative verbs in Modern Standard Arabic

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Purpose The purpose of this research was to analyze the unaccusative verb in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) within the framework of MP in order to answer the research question: How does the single argument of an unaccusative verb, that carries the theme theta role and is generated in the object position, receive a nominative case without moving to the [Spec, vP], which is the base subject position? Design/methodology/approach The analysis in the paper was based on the framework of Minimalist Program (MP) which was proposed by Chomsky (2000). MP concerns economy, simplicity and efficiency in the connection between sound and meaning. Essentially, Chomsky (2000) proposes that faculty of language (FL) contains a computational system that interfaces with external systems, sensorimotor systems and systems of thought. The computational system is based on three operations. The first operation is merge, which combines two syntactic objects to form a new one. It is presented in binary branches that project a hierarchical level. The second operation is agree which establishes syntactic relation for case assignment and agreement. The final operation is move, which composes merge and agree. Findings The analysis demonstrated that the sole argument of an accusative verb receives the nominative case in situ . This is due to Locality of Matching in which the agreement holds between the [nom] case on T and NP in internal argument of VP. This is because there is no intervening NP between T and the sole argument in internal argument of VP, which is a base object position. Originality/value This research shows that the single argument of the unaccusative verb receives the nominative case in situ . This analysis observes the economic considerations of MP as well as respects the UTAH hypothesis, which rules out the structures where the theme asymmetrically appears as a specifier or a complement.
Transmutation and Homogenization of Consciousness in Italian Esotericism during the Fascist Period: Mario Manlio Rossi’s Spaccio dei Maghi and Julius Evola’s Maschera e Volto dello Spiritualismo Contemporaneo

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

During the 1920s and 1930s the idea of transmutation, so essential to esotericism, was at the core of the Fascist agenda in Italy. Sharing with esotericism a repertoire of myths, symbols and rituals, Fascism aimed to create a new kind of man pushing the individuals to fuse into one radically transformed common consciousness. In order to create the new Italian man, to form and fashion the masses into a homogeneous and compliant collectivity, Fascism disqual- i ed individualistic tendencies: subjects had to integrate into collectivity and only thus attain consciousness of themselves as Italians and as Fascists. While these processes were taking place in society, Italian esotericists continued to elaborate the theme of the transmutation of consciousness. Two books published in Italy in those years significantly warned against the risks that such a transmutation could entail: Mario Manlio Rossi’s Spaccio dei maghi (1929) and Julius Evola’s Maschera e volto dello spiritualismo contemporaneo (1932). Both these works were harsh critiques of esotericism written by esotericists, as they reviewed the main schools and personalities of the contemporary occult scene with the purpose of demolishing most of them. Starting from very different premises, both Rossi and Evola expressed a deep concern about the self-determination and distinctiveness of individual consciousness, and denounced the possibility that the ideal of the “new man,” shared by esotericism and Fascism, could lead to the flattening of the differences among otherwise unique human beings and to the erasure of individual specificity.

Social stigma and discrimination faced by COVID-19 patients in an industrial unit: Findings of survey from rural Maharashtra

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT Introduction: Uncertain situation of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to fear, stigma, and discrimination across all strata of society in varying proportions. Stigmatization increases the suffering of people or those who are at risk of getting the disease and make it harder for public health authorities to control the disease. Material and Methods: The present study is a questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey conducted over a period of four weeks in the month of July 2021 in a food industry in rural region of western Maharashtra among COVID-19 positive patients. A total of 152 participants were included in the study. The data was analyzed using SPSS software (version 20). Descriptive statistics were used which included frequencies and percentages. Results: 64.5% of the participants were males and 35.5% were females. Approx. 85% of the participants were in age group 15-58 years. 100% of them reported to have faced fear on being tested COVID-19 positive. However, only approx. 2-5% individuals hid their illness from family and friends and 7.9% of them were afraid of getting hospitalized. Conclusion: It was found that fear was prevalent among all survivors but stigma was found to be minimal which is likely due to widespread awareness through media, IEC campaigns, and active involvement of administration in implementing policies.

Itinerari libertini tra Parigi e Vienna. L’abate Lenglet du Fresnoy dalla storia erudita all’ermetismo

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Between XVII and XVIII centuries, along Europe, the libertine culture assimilates new natural philosophy’s laical and rational achievements . Indeed, on one side it delves into the ancient Pyrrhonism’s points; in the same time and on the other side it considers the Hermeticism’s Renaissance legacy. This is an erudite and daring operation, which is against the tide and disparaging of ecclesiastical bans. Prime movers were key people as John Toland and Anglo-Dutch free-thinkers, Eugene Prince of Savoy and his intendant Baron Hohendorf, Pietro Giannone and – in Paris – abbot Lenglet du Fresnoy. The abbot, prolific writer and reader, easily moves from his first period studies about French history – in keeping with the European erudition over Deism and radical Enlightenment – to the rescue of magical – hermetical tradition in his last years. His own extensive literary work, known but never fully analyzed, is important and valuable.
A Synchronization Mechanism between CUDA Blocks for GPU

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

GPU(Graphic Processing Unit) provides a promising solution with massive threads and its advantage is high performance computing.The emergence of CUDA(Compute Unified Device Architecture) opens the door of using GPU's powerful computing power.However, because of the limitation of CUDA itself, direct communication is not supported between SMs(streaming multiprocessors) on GPU.It is time-consuming by atomic operation or barrier synchronization.A synchronization mechanism has been proposed in this paper, that is, on the premise of result available, the times of kernel launched should be reduced.Each kernel launched, it should be computed enough on GPU, the results back to the CPU.Based on SSSP, the validity of this method is illustrated by delta-stepping.For facebook dataset, compared with atomic operation, the speedup ratio is about 1.8.For New York map dataset, compared with atomic operation and barrier synchronization, the speedup ratio is about 9.3 and 1.7 separately.
