Culturally shared and unique meanings and expressions of maternal control across four cultures
Maternal control is a major dimension of parenting and has different meanings, practices, and potential consequences across cultures. The present study aimed to identify and compare mothers’ conceptualizations of parenting ... -
OMAD: On-device Mental Anomaly Detection for Substance and Non-Substance Users
Stay at home order during the COVID-19 helps flatten the curve but ironically, instigate mental health problems among the people who have Substance Use Disorders. Measuring the electrical activity signals in brain using ... -
High-energy emission from a magnetar giant flare in the Sculptor galaxy
Magnetars are the most highly magnetized neutron stars in the cosmos (with magnetic field 10¹³–10¹⁵ G). Giant flares from magnetars are rare, short-duration (about 0.1 s) bursts of hard X-rays and soft γ rays1,2. Owing to ... -
A practical guide for analyzing large-scale assessment data using Mplus: A case demonstration using the Program for International Assessment of Adult Competencies Data
(SAGE, 2020-12-16)In order to promote the use of increasingly available large-scale assessment data in education and expand the scope of analytic capabilities among applied researchers, this study provides step-by-step guidance, and practical ... -
Integrating Text Embedding with Traditional NLP Features for Clinical Relation Extraction
Recently, text embedding techniques such as Word2Vec and BERT have produced state-of-the-art results in a wide variety of NLP tasks. As a result, traditional NLP features frequently used in Information Extraction (IE) such ... -
Theory-Informed Course Design: Applications of Bloom’s Taxonomy in Undergraduate Public Health Courses
(SAGE, 2020-12-17)The public health workforce needs an array of knowledge and skills to effectively address current and future public health challenges. While existing competency models establish educational objectives for public health ... -
Toward racial justice in linguistics:Interdisciplinary insights into theorizing race in the discipline and diversifying the profession
(Project Muse, 2020-12)This article builds on the Linguistic Society of America's Statement on Race to argue that linguistics urgently needs an interdisciplinarily informed theoretical engagement with race and racism. To be adequate, a linguistic ... -
Identification of a Local Sample of Gamma-Ray Bursts Consistent with a Magnetar Giant Flare Origin
Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are known to arise from distinct progenitor channels: short GRBs mostly from neutron star mergers and long GRBs from a rare type of core-collapse supernova (CCSN) called collapsars. ... -
AstroPix: Investigating the Potential of Silicon Pixel Sensors in the Future of Gamma-ray Astrophysics
This paper details preliminary photon measurements with the monolithic silicon detector ATLASPix, a pixel detector built and optimized for the CERN experiment ATLAS. The goal of this paper is to determine the promise of ... -
Investigating γ-ray halos around three HAWC bright sources in Fermi-LAT data
Numerous extended sources around Galactic pulsars have shown significant γ-ray emission from GeV to TeV energies, revealing hundreds of TeV energy electrons scattering off of the underlying photon fields through inverse ... -
Advanced fabrication technologies for ultraprecise replicated mirrors for x-ray telescopes
(SPIE, 2020-12-13)For many years, Wolter mirrors have been used as imaging elements in X-ray telescopes. The shape error of Wolter mirrors fabricated by replicating the shape of a mandrel originates from the replication error in electroforming. ... -
Ultrastrong plasmon-phonon coupling via epsilon-near-zero nanocavities
(Springer Nature, 2020-12-07)Vibrational ultrastrong coupling, where the light–matter coupling strength is comparable to the vibrational frequency of molecules, presents new opportunities to probe the interactions between molecules and zero-point ... -
Graph-Based Intrusion Detection System for Controller Area Networks
The controller area network (CAN) is the most widely used intra-vehicular communication network in the automotive industry. Because of its simplicity in design, it lacks most of the requirements needed for a security-proven ... -
Neural Fair Collaborative Filtering
A growing proportion of human interactions are digitized on social media platforms and subjected to algorithmic decision-making, and it has become increasingly important to ensure fair treatment from these algorithms. In ... -
Rebalancing the Narrative: Higher Education, Border Security, and Immigration
The size and characteristics of immigration to the United States have been historically contentious issues. Nevertheless, there is probably a greater partisan division on this subject than ever before. While there are ... -
The Use of AI for Thermal Emotion Recognition: A Review of Problems and Limitations in Standard Design and Data
With the increased attention on thermal imagery for Covid-19 screening, the public sector may believe there are new opportunities to exploit thermal as a modality for computer vision and AI. Thermal physiology research has ... -
Dying of the Light: An X-ray Fading Cold Quasar at z ~ 0.405
(IOP, 2020-11-06)Cold quasars are a rare subpopulation observed to host unobscured, X-ray luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN) while also retaining a cold gas supply fueling high star formation rates. These objects are interpreted as AGN ... -
Practical Cross-modal Manifold Alignment for Grounded Language
We propose a cross-modality manifold alignment procedure that leverages triplet loss to jointly learn consistent, multi-modal embeddings of language-based concepts of real-world items. Our approach learns these embeddings ... -
The cyclotron line energy in Her X-1: stable after the decay
(2020-08-17)We summarize the results of a dedicated effort between 2012 and 2019 to follow the evolution of the cyclotron line in Her~X-1 through repeated NuSTAR observations. The previously observed nearly 20-year long decay of the ...
