Ist die Welt kausal geschlossen?
Authors: Mutschler Hans-Dieter
Published: March 2021

Wenn die Welt kausal geschlossen ist und wenn wir ,Kausalität' durch ,Naturgesetzlichkeit' näher bestimmen, dann scheint der Mensch als Freiheitswesen zumindest ein Fremdling in der Natur zu sein, im schlimmsten Fall ein Illusionist, der sich beständig über sich selber täuscht. Viele Bücher beginnen dementsprechend mit der Frage: „Wie passt der Geist in eine materielle Welt?" Die Welt erscheint in einer solchen Perspektive als ein bloß stofflicher Zusammenhang, den die Naturwissenschaft adäquat beschreibt. Da sie keinen Begriff des ,Geistes' hat, entsteht eben diese Frage, wie wohl der Geist in eine solche ,geistlose' Welt hineinpasst, in der jeder materielle Effekt hinreichend durch einen zeitlich vorangehenden bestimmt ist. Die kausale Geschlossenheit der Welt scheint den Begriff des ,Geistes' überflüssig zu machen.

A preocupação com a agricultura orgânica como agricultura alternativa está ganhando espaço, em termos econômicos e de saúde pública. Portanto, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos dos ácidos húmicos e fúlvicos associados à fertilização mineral na qualidade nutricional da alface (Lactuca sativa L.) em relação ao teor de minerais. O ácido húmico e fúlvico foram extraídos do esterco bovino, determinados o teor de carbono e aplicados aos 5, 15 e 25 dias, após o transplante com 10 tratamentos. O solo utilizado no experimento possui forte acidez com alto teor de areia; maior predisposição para a lixiviação de nitrogênio e potássio e baixa capacidade de retenção de água, sendo a saturação um indicador básico eutrófico e do solo abaixo da base de saturação necessária para o cultivo de alface, equivalente a 80%. Não há necessidade de dosagem de calagem de 0,28 t/ha, o que equivale a 0,143 g/3kg de solo. O teor de carbono na fração é considerado alto, mas já é esperado devido à estrutura molecular e outros estudos relacionados já mostram que em uma grande quantidade percentual de carbono nas frações de ácido húmico e ácidos fúlvicos extraídos do esterco. Em relação ao tratamento com peso fresco, somente solo e NPK destacaram-se dos demais, apresentando a maior média, com teste de Tukey significativo, com significância de 5%. A partir da análise dos minerais, verificou-se a presença de Ca+2, Mg+2, Fe+2 e P em todos os tratamentos aplicados. No entanto, não houve diferença significativa entre os tratamentos.
PROPOSTA DE SEQUÊNCIA DIDÁTICA PARA A DISCUSSÃO DO TEMA HOMOFOBIA NO ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS
Authors: Cunha Daniel Barcelos da , Costa Hawbertt Rocha , Sá-Silva Jackson Ronie
Published: March 2021

O modelo hegemônico heteronormativo reproduz a heterossexualidade como fruto do determinismo biológico no qual o sexo determina um gênero e uma sexualidade específica cuja atração se dá para com o sexo oposto, ou seja, uma ideia de heterossexualidade compulsória. Na escola tal modelo é reforçado, não se discute a diferença e não se dá atenção a ela, o que leva ao estranhamento e à uma visão de anormalidade, situação que se estende para a sociedade e contribui para a manifestação de preconceitos como a homofobia.  Neste estudo teórico qualitativo, foi elaborada uma proposta de Sequência Didática, com o objetivo de problematizar e desconstruir a visão negativa dada à homossexualidade e de desnaturalizar estereótipos. São propostas estratégias que evidenciem o papel da Ciência na produção do entendimento atual sobre a homossexualidade como uma variante da sexualidade humana e que merece ser valorizada, respeitada e legitimada. A utilização de uma Sequência Didática com estratégias discursivas e dialógicas, pode contribuir para a reelaboração e produção de novos significados, e consequentemente, para o combate e prevenção da homofobia.
Multi-pulse modulation method in photothermal atomic force microscopy for variable frequency modulation of incident light
Authors: Yamada Ayaka , Takahashi Takuji
Published: March 2021

Photothermal atomic force microscopy (PT-AFM) enables us to examine non-radiative recombination property with high spatial resolution. In order to realize variable frequency modulation of incident light in PT-AFM, we have proposed a multi-pulse modulation method, where the duration for light illumination is divided into multiple light pulses and their period is varied. We have assessed the validity of the proposed method through acquisition of photothermal signal images on microcrystalline materials under various modulation frequencies.

Published: March 2021

In previous studies, the double-Nakagami (DN) model has been proposed for fatty liver assessment and applied to in vivo rat livers and clinical data sets. The healthy liver structure filter (HLSF) method, which extracts non-healthy areas using two DN parameters, has also been proposed. In this paper, we first verify the accuracy of the DN model and the HLSF method for acoustic fields at 15 and 5 MHz, which were reproduced using numerical simulation. We then apply the method to clinical data sets of livers observed using a frequency of 3 MHz and investigate the method’s clinical usefulness. A positive correlation (

r
=
0.28

) was found between the ratio of the non-healthy area and fat mass. Although the results were inferior to the results produced using 15 MHz ultrasound (

r
=
0.96

), we found that it was possible to detect the difference between a normal liver and a fatty liver even at a lower frequency.

Regression Analysis of Predictions and Forecasts of Cloud Data centre KPIs using the Boosted Tree Decision Algorithm
Authors: Gyeera Thomas Weripuo , Simons Anthony J.H. , Stannett Mike
Published: March 2021

The National Institute of Standards and Technology defines the fundamental characteristics of cloud computing as: on-demand computing, offered via the network, using pooled resources, with rapid elastic scaling and metered charging. The rapid dynamic allocation and release of resources on demand to meet heterogeneous computing needs is particularly challenging for data centres, which process a huge amount of data characterised by its high volume, velocity, variety and veracity (4Vs model). Data centres seek to regulate this by monitoring and adaptation, typically reacting to service failures after the fact. We present a real cloud test bed with the capabilities of proactively monitoring and gathering cloud resource information for making predictions and forecasts. This contrasts with the state-of-the-art reactive monitoring of cloud data centres. We argue that the behavioural patterns and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) characterizing virtualized servers, networks, and database applications can best be studied and analysed with predictive models. Specifically, we applied the Boosted Decision Tree machine learning algorithm in making future predictions on the KPIs of a cloud server and virtual infrastructure network, yielding an R-Square of 0.9991 at a 0.2 learning rate. This predictive framework is beneficial for making short- and long-term predictions for cloud resources.

Investigating the Effect of Top-Down and Bottom- up Processing on Iraqi EFL Learners’ Comprehension of Vocabulary
Authors: Ibrahim Asst. Inst. Farah Hafedh
Published: March 2021

This paper investigates the role of bottom-up and top-down processing of Iraqi EFL learners’ vocabulary comprehension. The researcher conducts two vocabulary tests to university level students. The first test is the Academic Word List test that is used to assess bottom- up vocabulary comprehension while the second one is the Academic Vocabulary Size test that is employed to assess learners’ top-down vocabulary comprehension abilities and to find out whether proficient learners make use of the top-down approach to understand a specific lexical item more than the bottom-up approach. Analysis of the test scores reveals that the bottom-up group slightly outperforms the top-down group. The researcher concludes that employing a specific approach, whether top-down or bottom- up, depends on the level of proficiency and the nature of L2 vocabulary acquisition. The results also refute the aforementioned hypothesis of the study i.e. proficient learners make use of the top-down approach to understand a specific lexical item, while poor learners depend more on the bottom up approach to figure out the meaning of a given lexical item. The study further concludes that Iraqi EFL learners need an intensive and adequate training in top-down processing and bottom up processing to develop their comprehension skills.

On the Moduli Space of Flat Tori Having Unit Area
Authors: Sağlam İsmail
Published: March 2021

Inspiring from Thurston's asymmetric metric on Teichmüller spaces, we define and study a natural (weak) metric on the Teichmüller space of the torus. We prove that this weak metric is indeed a metric: it separates points and it is symmetric. We relate this metric with the hyperbolic metric on the upper half-plane. We define another metric which measures how much length of a closed geodesic changes when we deform a flat structure on the torus. We show that these two metrics coincide.
Microwave Absorption Properties of Unripe Plantain Husk, Polycaprolactone and Charcoal Powder Hybrid Nanocomposites Using Numerical Simulation at X-Band Frequency
Authors: Yakubu A
Published: March 2021

Single bulk materials have lesser advantages compared to nano materials in the area of mechanical, electrical, dielectric, optical and thermal properties enhancement of polymer and hybrid of bio-composites. In this work, charcoal (CH), unripe plantain husk (UPH), and polycaprolactone (PCL) based microwave absorber were synthesized using both mechanical alloy and melt blend techniques, respectively. Different percentages of the prepared charcoal nanoparticles was introduced into the hybrid composites to study the effect on dielectric properties, shielding effectiveness, reflection loss and structural morphology in the frequency range of 8–12 GHz.. Findings showed that the sample with the highest amount of charcoal percentage had the best shielding effectiveness and dielectric constant. The value of dielectric constant gradually increased from 3.06 to 5.45 at the frequency range measured. The charcoal average particle size was estimated to be 21.42 nm using TEM analysis while the mean deviation of surface roughness ranged from 5.45 to 25.56 nm using atomic force microscope. The highest shielding effectiveness of the hybrid composites was obtained for the 30 wt% nano charcoal content with a value of -48.78 dB at 10 GHz. The complete dispersion and interaction of the charcoal with the PCL and UPH enhanced the dielectric constant, loss factor, hence making it potent in microwave absorption, shielding and radar applications.

Menyirat Makna dalam Manisnya Rambutan Kampung dari Perspektif Kod Simbolik Roland Barthes
Authors:   Universiti Sains Malaysia, Clement Joyana Dilam
Published: March 2021

This study aims to review the literal meaning of Zahari Affandiâ€™s Manisnya Rambutan Kampung. The focus of this research is the interpretation of the literal meaning presented by the writer through the use of symbols. The objectives of this study are to identify the significance of the literal meaning to the community, to analyze the literal meanings in the text from the symbolic code perspective, as well as to evaluate the extent to which the literal meanings in the text conform to connotative properties from this perspective. This research was carried out using a simple qualitative method. The data collected was each illustration of events that employed signs or symbols. Therefore, the research was performed using the Semiotic Theory of Roland Barthes, which focuses on the use of symbols. The present research uses this theory to explore the meanings of signs in a more detailed way in all instances that contain elements of signifiers and signifieds in the literary work. This is due to the fact that the symbols used by the writer in the work have both a literal and implied meaning. Based on the research, we conclude that Zahari Affandi inserted several symbols with their own meaning in his work to convey certain messages.
The Clash of Rural and Urban Values in the Comic Books Budak Kampung and Mat Som
Authors:   Universiti Sains Malaysia, Wan Teh Wan Hasmah , Mohd Dahlan Nurul Syazwani
Published: March 2021

Lat, whose real name is Mohammad Nor Khalid, is a distinguished and versatile figure among cartoonists in Malaysia. His comic books tend to record sociocultural issues in Malaysia and often show the realities of Malaysian life, especially that of the rural Malay community. Comics are not just reading material for entertainment but are also an important medium for conveying ideas, criticisms and insights as well as having the ability to expose various disparities in local communities. This paper will look into the clash of rural and urban values in two of Lat's comic books entitled Budak Kampung (1979) and Mat Som (1989). The objective of this paper is to analyse the clash of values between rural and urban communities and explain the use of comic elements in conveying meanings in both comics. This paper will use the theory of sociology of literature developed by Alan Swingewood (1972), which is a sociocultural approach to the production of literary works. The findings of this study show that Lat's childhood experiences influenced the creation ofÂ Budak Kampung, while his young adulthood experiences influenced the creation of Mat Som. The clash of rural and urban values are tremendously significant in both works, as depicted by the entry of tin mining companies, selling of land, choosing a spouse, clothing styles and way of thinking.
Isu Pertembungan Sosial dalam Novel Ke Hujung Usia Berdasarkan Teori Konflik Fungsional Coser
Authors:   Akademi Seni Budaya dan Warisan Kebangsaan, Shafei Umairah
Published: March 2021

This research intends to prove social conflict in the novel Ke Hujung Usia (2018) by A. Rahman C.M. based on Lewis A. Coser's Functional Conflict Theory, which places conflict as an indicator of a healthy relationship in the social structure. The conflicts presented between characters in the novel include clashes involving Tuk Aki, Tuan Guru Haji Munir, District Office officials, Rasol (the Political Secretary of the Chief Minister), and Umar, who represents the students at Pondok Haji Hamid, and others. The conflicts between the characters have a positive influence on the integration, consensus and strength of the in-group among the students, and on the position of Tuk Aki himself, as the administrator of the centre of religious education. Based on Coser's theory, conflict is not negative because the clashes of out-group are normal due to the positive impact on the strength of social structure. Thus, Coser rejected the argument that absence of conflict is an indicator of the strength and stability of a relationship. Based on the thought of Coser, the conflict between Tuk Aki and the out-group help to strengthen structural relations, in addition to enhancing the integration of the students who are led by Umar. The social group consensus exists because there is two-way communication in the conflict, and because Tuk Aki plays the role of the safety valve to control the conflict.

Published: March 2021

Women have many advantages and important roles in the family institution. Nowadays, many women are involved in various professions including entrepreneurship, corporate positions and leadership. Therefore, this article aims to analyse the fundamentals of womenâ€™s leadership as the head and manager of the familyâ€”roles traditionally reserved for men. This study applies the principles of leadership in the Management Approach on S. Othman Kelantanâ€™s novel, Wajah Seorang Wanita. Library research and qualitative methods were applied in this study. The analysis shows that three out of the four dimensions of leadership principles apply, namely, the administrative, economic and educational dimensions. This is depicted through the novelâ€™s main character, Siti Musalmah, who has to manage and lead her family after the death of her beloved husband. This study also seeks to unveil the role of women and thus elevate the status of women as heads of families despite having to face great challenges as single mothers. As a result, the Management Approach, using principles of leadership, allows a clarification and analysis of the principles of management practiced by women in caring for the well-being of their familis. Wajah Seorang Wanita is a portrayal of the leadership of a woman during the time of the Japanese Occupation.

The Impacts of Undergraduate Service-Learning on Post-Graduation Employment Outcomes
Authors: Matthews Paul H. , Dorfman Jeffrey H. , Wu Xuedong
Published: March 2021

This article highlights the results of a study assessing service-learning’s impact on post-graduation employment for students from a large, public land-grant university who had completed their undergraduate degree. Survey data collected three years after graduation yielded 44 unique pairs matched for undergraduate major, graduation date, gender, and academic performance, but with only a single member of each pair having taken service-learning coursework. The study investigated employment outcomes including time needed to find a first job, starting salary, timing of promotions and raises, and type of employment. Paired t-tests found significantly higher starting salaries and significantly shorter time to receive a first raise for graduates with service-learning experience. No significant differences were found regarding (a) whether either set received a raise or promotion, (b) whether the job was in their desired field, (c) the overall time to find an initial job, or (d) the length of time from hiring to first promotion. These results represent the first empirical data assessing service-learning’s potential influence on economic aspects of post-university employment.
Final-Year Transition and Service-Learning: Working Together as a Vehicle for Student Engagement, Development, and Life Preparedness
Authors: Perry April L. , Perry Lane G.
Published: March 2021

Preparation for the demands of the 21st-century workplace is an essential priority and growing concern of both students pursuing postsecondary degrees and the faculty and administrators responsible for educating them. For institutions of higher education, demands such as graduate employability, life preparedness, and emotional stability are consistently becoming more complex to support. Research demonstrates a range of high-impact practices (HIPs) that directly influence student engagement and support student development. How can these HIPs help prepare students for post-university life? This article highlights two research projects: one that explored the post-university transition of recent graduates, and another that explored the HIP of service-learning. Using the “what, so what, now what” framework, the article presents each study and its relevant findings. Implications of those findings are then synthesized by examining the two study topics through a single lens in order to identify transferable institutional strategies for preparing graduating students using service-learning pedagogy.

Minimality of SRPT Networks With Resource Sharing
Authors: Gieroba Robert , Kruk Łukasz
Published: March 2021

A general multi-resource network with users requiring service from a number of shared resources simultaneously is considered. It is demonstrated that the Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) service protocol minimizes, in a suitable sense, the system resource idleness with respect to customers with residual service times not greater than any threshold value on every network route. Our arguments are pathwise, with no assumptions on the model stochastic primitives and the network topology.
Korkeakouluopiskelijoiden koetut oppimisvaikeudet ja niiden yhteys elämän eri osa-alueisiin
Authors: Rinne Hanna , Korkeamäki Johanna , Villa Tiia
Published: March 2021

Korkeakouluopiskelijoiden oppimisvaikeuksia ja koettuja oppimisen ongelmia ei ole Suomessa juuri tutkittu. Tässä tutkimuksessa tavoitteena oli tarkastella korkeakouluopiskelijoiden todettujen ja koettujen oppimisvaikeuksien yleisyyttä sekä oppimisvaikeuksien yhteyttä elämän eri osa-alueisiin.

Aineistona tutkimuksessa oli kaksi korkeakouluopiskelijoille suunnattua kyselyaineistoa: Opiskelijabarometri 2012 (N = 1649) sekä Korkeakouluopiskelijoiden terveystutkimus 2012 (N = 3 790). Tutkimusväestönä oli 20–29-vuotiaat korkeakouluopiskelijat. Menetelminä käytettiin ristiintaulukointia. Osuuksille laskettiin 95 prosentin luottamusvälit.

Koettuja oppimisvaikeuksia oli Korkeakouluopiskelijoiden terveystutkimuksessa 6–8 prosentilla ja Opiskelijabarometrissa 9–11 prosentilla, todettuja puolestaan 2–4 prosentilla.

The relationship between the living organisms and the environment is very important to maintain theharmony and smooth survival of the living organisms. Our health depends on our environments’ health.The changing patterns of the diseases made us to think and to inculcate the knowledge needed to preserve asafe environment to the present and future generation. Hence it had been decided to educate school childrenon environmental pollution prevention and control. A quantitative approach with pre experimental designwas adopted in the study. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Ethical Committee. Thestudy was conducted in the Government Victoria Girls Higher Secondary School, Palakkad. Fifty childrenbetween the age group of 10 -12 were selected by using simple random sampling technique. The datawere collected by using a structured questionnaire method. The knowledge and attitude of the childrenon environmental pollution prevention and control were assessed. After conducting the pre-test, structuredteaching program was conducted to the selected samples by using lecture method. Pamphlets were given atthe end of the session. After a week post test was conducted. The study results revealed that there is significantimprovement in the knowledge and attitude of children on environmental pollution prevention and control.Hence, it can be concluded that educating the children may be helpful in preserving and maintaining safeenvironment for the present and future generation.“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed” - Mahathma Gandhi

Psychological distress defines as a combination of negative emotional symptoms, such as depression,anxiety, and stress. This study explores qualitatively, analyzes thematically, and identifies the causes andconsequences of psychological distress among Indian baccalaureate first-year female nursing studentsat Kerala University of Health Sciences, South India. The participants’ experiences and perspectivesare analyzed thematically by using Braun & Clarke’s step -by- step method. In-depth semi-structuredinterviews (ten participants) and focus group discussions (eight participants) were held to acquire an indepthunderstanding of the lived experiences. The findings of this qualitative study show that the nursingstudents endure thought problems (distorted cognitions, distressing thoughts), emotional problems (anxiousfeelings, emotional stress, depressed mood), behavioral problems (poor social behavior, meaninglessnessin life, lack of dedication) physical problems (health-related, academic and clinical issues, financial, familyand hostel problems). The researchers found that psychological distress among participants is associatedwith depression, anxiety, and stress.

The assessment of gaze behaviour is essential for understanding the psychology of communication. Mobile eye-tracking glasses are useful to measure gaze behaviour during dynamic interactions. Eye-tracking data can be analysed by using manually annotated areas-of-interest. Computer vision algorithms may alternatively be used to reduce the amount of manual effort, but also the subjectivity and complexity of these analyses. Using additional re-identification (Re-ID) algorithms, different participants in the interaction can be distinguished. The aim of this study was to compare the results of manual annotation of mobile eye-tracking data with the results of a computer vision algorithm. We selected the first minute of seven randomly selected eye-tracking videos of consultations between physicians and patients in a Dutch Internal Medicine out-patient clinic. Three human annotators and a computer vision algorithm annotated mobile eye-tracking data, after which interrater reliability was assessed between the areas-of-interest annotated by the annotators and the computer vision algorithm. Additionally, we explored interrater reliability when using lengthy videos and different area-of-interest shapes. In total, we analysed more than 65 min of eye-tracking videos manually and with the algorithm. Overall, the absolute normalized difference between the manual and the algorithm annotations of face-gaze was less than 2%. Our results show high interrater agreements between human annotators and the algorithm with Cohen’s kappa ranging from 0.85 to 0.98. We conclude that computer vision algorithms produce comparable results to those of human annotators. Analyses by the algorithm are not subject to annotator fatigue or subjectivity and can therefore advance eye-tracking analyses.
When Commitments Conflict: Making Ethical Decisions Like a Funambulist
Authors: Nizet Jean , Fatien Diochon Pauline , Balachandran Nair Lakshmi
Published: March 2021

Given the complexity of organizations, individuals nowadays are handling an increasing number of commitments. When these commitments come into conflict, they can turn into ethical dilemmas. However, little is known about how individuals make ethical decisions in the face of such conflicting commitments. We investigated this issue within the context of executive coaching, since coaches often interact with multiple stakeholders as part of their assignments. We conducted 37 semi-structured interviews using the critical incident technique, that is, by asking executive coaches to share a situation that was ethically challenging for them. Based on our study, we derive the metaphor of funambulism to depict how individuals make decisions in the case of conflicting commitments. By building on the systemic framework, we show that executive coaches manage an equilibrium ‘along the way’ through an emergent system of practices, which involves making adjustments that can maintain or restore their system’s equilibrium (i.e., compatibility between commitments). This contribution alludes to the dynamic and constructed nature of ethics.
Counter-Clock World: How Planning Backwards Helps in Moving Forward in Collapsing Environments

Published: March 2021

Research on corporate decline and turnarounds as well as the strategic use of history have so far remained two separate research fields. We integrate these two fields with a thought experiment, proposing ways in which strategists can work with, and through time in managing and turning around declines. Our thought experiment involves two very different types of analogies: a textual one from Philip K. Dick’s science fiction novels, on the one hand, and a visual one from Einsteinian relativity science, on the other hand. Inspired and informed by these different conceptualizations of the past and time, we develop four forms of backward strategizing to successfully manage a struggling corporation on the brink of environmental collapse. The strategic options, presuming that managers are historically conscious agents embedded in time, direct corporations to go back in history, in actual terms, or in a fictional or mythological one – and thus to initiate a past-related rebirth. By offering a more nuanced and complex understanding of temporality and history, our perspective urges scholars to further unpack historical dimensions in managerial cognition of time.

Published: March 2021

Background: Cervical cancer (CC) is the commonest female cancer in the developing nations. The virus behind CC is Human papillomavirus (HPV). In sub-Saharan Africa, high mortality arises from low public awareness and knowledge about the disease.

Objective: This study assessed the effectiveness of educational intervention as a means to improve cervical cancer knowledge among health care students.

Methodology: Year 4-5 medical and pharmacy students of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) took part in a quasi-experimental study. An anonymous pretested self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data at pre-and post-intervention sessions for comparison after one and half hours of educational intervention lecture. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 16. P ≤ 0.05 was considered significant.

Results: Age range 21-26 years was 85.0%, male to female: 1.1:1.2. Majority (63.1%) had heard of CC prior to the intervention, gender it affects (50.6%), stages of cervical cancer (26.3%). Infection with HPV (14.4%), genetics (61.9%), having many children (15.0%). Pap test is to detect early signs of CC (41.3%), pap test not needed after HPV vaccine (20.0%), healthy adult women have pap test every three years (21.3%), All the scores significantly increased after post-intervention.

Conclusion: Educational intervention was successful in improving CC knowledge among participants.
Two-point Statistics without Bins: A Continuous-function Generalization of the Correlation Function Estimator for Large-scale Structure
Authors: Storey-Fisher Kate , Hogg David W.
Published: March 2021

The two-point correlation function (2pcf) is the key statistic in structure formation; it measures the clustering of galaxies or other density field tracers. Estimators of the 2pcf, including the standard Landy–Szalay (LS) estimator, evaluate the 2pcf in hard-edged separation bins, which is scientifically inappropriate and results in a poor trade-off between bias and variance. We present a new 2pcf estimator, the Continuous-Function Estimator, which generalizes LS to a continuous representation and obviates binning in separation or any other pair property. Our estimator, inspired by the mathematics of least-squares fitting, replaces binned pair counts with projections onto basis functions; it outputs the best linear combination of basis functions to describe the 2pcf. The choice of basis can take into account the expected form of the 2pcf, as well as its dependence on pair properties other than separation. We show that the Continuous-Function Estimator with a cubic-spline basis better represents the shape of the 2pcf compared to LS. We also estimate directly the baryon acoustic scale, using a small number of physically motivated basis functions. Critically, this leads to a reduction in the number of mock catalogs required for covariance estimation, which is currently the limiting step in many 2pcf analyses. We discuss further applications of the Continuous-Function Estimator, including determination of the dependence of clustering on galaxy properties and searches for potential inhomogeneities or anisotropies in large-scale structure.
A Study in Frequency-dependent Effects on Precision Pulsar Timing Parameters with the Pulsar Signal Simulator

Published: March 2021

In this paper we introduce a new python package, the Pulsar Signal Simulator, or psrsigsim, which is designed to simulate a pulsar signal from emission at the pulsar, through the interstellar medium, to observation by a radio telescope, and digitization in a standard data format. We use psrsigsim to simulate observations of three millisecond pulsars, PSRs J1744–1134, B1855+09, and B1953+29, to explore the covariances between frequency-dependent parameters, such as variations in the dispersion measure (DM), pulse profile evolution with frequency, and pulse scatter broadening. We show that psrsigsim can produce realistic simulated data and can accurately recover the parameters injected into the data. We also find that while there are covariances when fitting DM variations and frequency-dependent parameters, they have little effect on timing precision. Our simulations also show that time-variable scattering delays decrease the accuracy and increase the variability of the recovered DM and frequency-dependent parameters. Despite this, our simulations also show that the time-variable scattering delays have little impact on the rms of the timing residuals. This suggests that the variability seen in recovered DMs, when time-variable scattering delays are present, is due to a covariance between the two parameters, with the DM modeling out the additional scattering delays.
Black Hole Glimmer Signatures of Mass, Spin, and Inclination
Authors: Wong George N.
Published: March 2021

Gravitational lensing near a black hole is strong enough that light rays can circle the event horizon multiple times. Photons emitted in multiple directions at a single event, perhaps because of localized, impulsive heating of accreting plasma, take multiple paths to a distant observer. In the Kerr geometry, each path is associated with a distinct light travel time and a distinct arrival location in the image plane, producing black hole glimmer. This sequence of arrival times and locations uniquely encodes the mass and spin of the black hole and can be understood in terms of properties of bound photon orbits. We provide a geometrically motivated treatment of Kerr glimmer and evaluate it numerically for simple hot-spot models to show that glimmer can be measured in a finite-resolution observation. We discuss potential measurement methods and implications for tests of the Kerr hypothesis.
