Co-construction of Word Search Activities in Native and Non-native Speaker Interaction
Creators: name: Park, Innhwa
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: This paper examines the co-construction of word search activities between native and non-native speakers of English. Word searching occurs when two interlocutors use joint resources to retrieve a word that is alluding one of the interlocutors in conversation. Word searches are highly prevalent in interaction, often becoming a central activity in non-native discourse. The focus of this article is twofold: first, on the sequential organization of the word search activity, and second, on the public structure of word searches. Using video recordings of English tutoring sessions and social gatherings of native and non-native speakers of English, the detailed practice of word searching was analyzed in this study. It examines the interactional process through which a distributed responsibility of participants for sequential coherence, meaning, and events is co-constructed (Jacoby & Ochs, 1995). This article argues that a word search activity is a social action, and interactions between native and non-native speakers of English demonstrate the ways through which participants coordinate this sequential and public action.

description: We consider a distributed storage problem in a large-scale wireless sensor network with $n$ nodes among which $k$ acquire (sense) independent data. The goal is to disseminate the acquired information throughout the network so that each of the $n$ sensors stores one possibly coded packet and the original $k$ data packets can be recovered later in a computationally simple way from any $(1+ε)k$ of nodes for some small $ε>0$. We propose two Raptor codes based distributed storage algorithms for solving this problem. In the first algorithm, all the sensors have the knowledge of $n$ and $k$. In the second one, we assume that no sensor has such global information.

Hidden at the root : statistical methods for population size estimation on trees
Creators: name: Flynn, Mallory J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: In many fields, populations of interest are hidden from data for a variety of reasons, though their magnitude remains important in determining resource allocation and appropriate policy. One popular approach to population size estimation, the multiplier method, is a back-calculation tool requiring only a marginal subpopulation size and an estimate of the proportion belonging to this subgroup. Another approach is to use Bayesian methods, which are inherently well-suited to incorporating multiple data sources. However, both methods have their drawbacks. A framework for applying the multiplier method which combines information from several known subpopulations has not yet been established; Bayesian models, though able to incorporate complex dependencies and various data sources, are difficult for researchers in less technical fields to design and implement. Increasing data collection and linkage across diverse fields suggests accessible methods of estimating population size with synthesized data are needed. In public health and epidemiology, these linkages often admit a tree structure, with the target population represented by the root, and paths from root-to-leaf representing pathways of care after a health event. In this thesis, we propose an extension to the well-known multiplier method which is applicable to tree-structured data, where multiple subpopulations and corresponding proportions combine to generate a population size estimate via the minimum variance estimator. The estimates given by this methodology are compared to those from a Bayesian hierarchical model, for both simulated and real world data, the latter provided by BC's opioid overdose cohort, a tree-like data structure which tracks individuals along pathways of care after an overdose. Subsequent analysis elucidates which data are key to estimation in each method, and examines robustness and feasibility of methods. Finally, two R packages have been developed to facilitate the use of these methods on similar applications. The first provides a straightforward method of estimating population size on tree-structured data with the modified multiplier methodology. The second provides functionality to automatically generate Bayesian model code for tree-structured data intended to be used for estimation with the MCMC sampler, JAGS, lowering the technical barrier of implementation.

The Co-Construction of Roles and Patterns of Interaction in Family Discourse
Creators: name: Johnson, Rebekah
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the discourse analysis of spoken interaction in the family context. Specific aspects of family discourse are discussed, including the co-construction of identity, the specific roles and identities of family members, and the patterns of interaction found in the discourse. Since gender is an important aspect of family roles, an overview of the research on gender and spoken interaction is included. The concepts of framing and power, as they relate to family interaction are also discussed given the salience researchers have attached to these concepts. This is followed by a review of the literature on language and identity, including the co-construction of identity in interaction, and discourse analysis studies on particular family member roles and family identity. Discourse patterns specific to family interaction are discussed in the last section. The review concludes that although discourse analysis research on family talk has shed light on family-specific patterns of interaction, it has nevertheless focused on a narrowlydefined concept of what constitutes a family and has largely been based on short-term data collection.

description: We demonstrate a silicon photonic platform using thin buried oxide silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates using localized substrate removal. We show high confinement silicon strip waveguides, micro-ring resonators and nanotapers using this technology. Propagation losses for the waveguides using the cutback method are 3.88 dB/cm for the quasi-TE mode and 5.06 dB/cm for the quasi-TM mode. Ring resonators with a loaded quality factor (Q) of 46,500 for the quasi-TM mode and intrinsic Q of 148,000 for the quasi-TE mode have been obtained. This process will enable the integration of photonic structures with thin buried oxide SOI based electronics.
Language, Space and Power: A Critical Look at Bilingual Education
Creators: name: Weber, Anne C.
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: Through the close analysis of and critical discussion surrounding a fifth-grade dual-immersion classroom, Hadi-Tabassum explores the often inequitable role of language in the classroom. In her critical ethnographic study entitled Language, Space and Power: A Critical Look at Bilingual Education, young learners of both Spanish and English are observed as they engage themselves in various classroom tasks and metalinguistic discussions. Based on the ethnographic observation, parallels are drawn between such concepts as identity, language, and power. As a result, Hadi-Tabassum is able to explore what she deems the third space, a space where awareness focuses upon a desire to overcome linguistic borders and boundaries. Through an emphasis upon discourse rather than language acquisition, the author shows how conflicts over language use and the mediation of these conflicts arise.

Disinventing and Reconstituting Languages

Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: Those familiar with Pennycook’s previous works such as English and the Discourses of Colonialism (1998) or Critical Applied Linguistics: A Critical Introduction (2001) will not be surprised to learn that this latest volume, co-edited with Makoni and titled Disinventing and Reconstituting Languages, challenges many orthodoxies related to the role of English in the world and the nature of language. As far back as his 1994 book, The Cultural Politics of English as an International Language, Pennycook has been contesting the view that the global spread of English has been a natural, neutral, and beneficial process and has argued against fixation on language as an a priori ontological system in favor of focus on “language use as a social, cultural, and political act” (Pennycook, 1994, p. 29). It is not difficult to imagine that the editors’ collaboration on this volume was inspired in part by a critique Makoni offered of Pennycook’s Critical Applied Linguistics suggesting that in the absence of concrete strategies for engaging and collaborating with local communities, “Critical Applied Linguistics runs the danger of being hegemonic to the very communities it seeks to serve” (Makoni, 2003, p. 135).

description: A proposal for applying non-adiabatic geometric phases to quantum computing, called the double-loop method [S.-L. Zhu and Z. D. Wang, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 67}, 022319 (2003)], is demonstrated in a liquid state NMR quantum computer. Using a spin echo technique, the original method is modified so that quantum gates are implemented in a standard high-precision NMR system for chemical analysis. We show that the dynamical phase is successfully eliminated and a one-qubit quantum gate is realized, although the fidelity is not so high.
Hot Subdwarfs in Resolved Binaries

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the last decade or so, there have been numerous searches for hot subdwarfs in close binaries. There has been little to no attention paid to wide binaries however. The advantages of understanding these systems can be many. The stars can be assumed to be coeval, which means they have common properties. The distance and metallicity, for example, are both unknown for the subdwarf component, but may be determinable for the secondary, allowing other properties of the subdwarf to be estimated. With this in mind, we have started a search for common proper motion pairs containing a hot subdwarf component. We have uncovered several promising candidate systems, which are presented here.

description: Let $H$ be the symmetric second-order differential operator on $L_2(\Ri)$ with domain $C_c^\infty(\Ri)$ and action $Hφ=-(c φ')'$ where $ c\in W^{1,2}_{\rm loc}(\Ri)$ is a real function which is strictly positive on $\Ri\backslash\{0\}$ but with $c(0)=0$. We give a complete characterization of the self-adjoint extensions and the submarkovian extensions of $H$. In particular if $ν=ν_+\veeν_-$ where $ν_\pm(x)=\pm\int^{\pm 1}_{\pm x} c^{-1}$ then $H$ has a unique self-adjoint extension if and only if $ν\not\in L_2(0,1)$ and a unique submarkovian extension if and only if $ν\not\in L_\infty(0,1)$. In both cases the corresponding semigroup leaves $L_2(0,\infty)$ and $L_2(-\infty,0)$ invariant. In addition we prove that for a general non-negative $ c\in W^{1,\infty}_{\rm loc}(\Ri)$ the corresponding operator $H$ has a unique submarkovian extension.

Raising Bilingual-Biliterate Children in Monolingual Cultures
Creators: name: Cao, Xiaolei
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: Stephen J. Caldas and his wife, Suzanne, wanted to rear their children, John, Stephanie, and Valerie, to be bilingual and biliterate in both English and French in order to move easily between two monolingual cultures— Louisiana, USA, their primary residence, and Québec, Canada, where the family usually spent summer vacations. This longitudinal study or “family project,” in the author’s words, lasted 19 years from the author’s children’s early childhood to their late adolescence and is documented in Raising Bilingual-Biliterate Children in Monolingual Cultures. By elaborately recounting the strategies that he and his wife used in their children’s linguistic development, the author hopes to enlighten parents who also intend to bring up their children bilingually. Additionally, many findings are certainly appealing to both educators and researchers, including those related to the issues of peer influence on linguistic development during adolescence, the construction of bilingual identities, and the changes in accents and perceptions of accents that occur.

We present analytic expression for potentials of electromagnetic field for an axially symmetric slowly rotating magnetized wormholes. While addressing important issues regarding the subject, we compare our results of motion around black holes and wormholes in terms of the ratio of radii of event horizons of a black hole and of the throat of a wormhole. It is shown that both radial and circular motions of test bodies in the vicinity of a magnetized wormhole could give rise to a peculiar observational astrophysical phenomenon.

Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: The volume, Motivation, Language Attitudes and Globalisation: A Hungarian Perspective, written by Dörnyei, Csizér, and Németh, presents the results of a large survey on motivation in second language learning from over 13,000 Hungarian foreign language learners collected in three successive stages during 1993, 1999, and 2004. The objectives of this book were to provide a quantitative statistical analysis on the significance of the relationship between the socio-political changes in Hungary and the variety of interests among Hungarians in learning five foreign languages: English, German, French, Italian, and Russian. The informants were young teenagers selected nationwide and surveyed during an eventful, historical time in the country, that is, the 12-year transitional period when the nation went from restrained communism to an open, Western-style democracy. The fact that Hungary faced many difficult obstacles in a plethora of areas in its drive towards European Union membership makes this study particularly interesting. The various national, political, social, and personal motives of the Hungarians to choose and learn particular foreign languages are analyzed in this volume.

Engineering titanium dioxide nanotube arrays to enhance microwave sensing capabilities
Creators: name: Wiltshire, Benjamin Daniel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: With the advent of smart sensors and the Internet of Things, improved real-time sensing and detection capabilities are required for modern applications. Microwave sensors were designed and integrated with titanium dioxide nanotube arrays for high-resolution detection of UV and visible light, as well as CO₂ gas. Sensing was done by tracking the scattering parameters (S₁₁ or S₂₁) of a resonator as they vary with environmental changes such as material introduction, phase change, and chemical or light absorption. New microwave resonator designs were investigated through simulation, fabrication, and experiment to determine effective strategies in improving sensitivity, accuracy, speed, and lifetime in a variety of applications. The main potential of this approach is to develop accurate, robust, and inexpensive sensors that use a unique, low frequency region of the electromagnetic spectrum wirelessly without the need to overcome or model contact resistance. First, design strategies were used for liquid characterization at long range by detecting the UV transmission properties of the liquid. Similarly, a high frequency resonator was developed to detect UV intensities as low as 2.7 μW/cm2 by using an active resonator and reducing the effect of humidity by targeting a higher relative frequency. Additionally, TiO₂ was later used as a supporting scaffold for a secondary material, cadmium sulfide, for visible light sensitivity and to enable selective targeted sensing. The aim of this thesis is to better understand the capabilities of TiO₂ integration with microwave resonators by employing state-of-the-art nanofabrication methods and microwave design strategies to extend the limits of sensing in the microwave region.
Pedagogical Appreciation from a Theoretical Perspective

description: Norris and Ortega (2000) assert that "in general, focused L2 instruction results in large gains over the course of an intervention ... [and t]he effects of L2 instruction seem durable" (p. 500). This quote encompasses what pedagogical practitioners have always wanted to hear from a researcher's perspective—that what is being taught in the classroom does indeed have a definite effect on the acquisition of a language. The Norris and Ortega article emphasizes three focal points that speak to the work of second language teachers: (1) the effectiveness of some instructional methodologies with respect to L2 acquisition, (2) methodological shortcomings of a number of SLA studies, and (3) the importance of bridging the gap between research and practice.

description: Percolation and jamming phenomena are investigated for anisotropic sequential deposition of dimers (particles occupying two adjacent adsorption sites) on a square lattice. The influence of dimer alignment on the electrical conductivity was examined. The percolation threshold for deposition of dimers was lower than for deposition of monomers. Nevertheless, the problem belongs to the universality class of random percolation. The lowest percolation threshold (pc = 0.562) was observed for isotropic orientation of dimers. It was higher (pc = 0.586) in the case of dimers aligned strictly along one direction. The state of dimer orientation influenced the concentration dependence of electrical conductivity. The proposed model seems to be useful for description of the percolating properties of anisotropic conductors.

description: We investigate the performance of robust estimates of multivariate location under nonstandard data contamination models such as componentwise outliers (i.e., contamination in each variable is independent from the other variables). This model brings up a possible new source of statistical error that we call "propagation of outliers." This source of error is unusual in the sense that it is generated by the data processing itself and takes place after the data has been collected. We define and derive the influence function of robust multivariate location estimates under flexible contamination models and use it to investigate the effect of propagation of outliers. Furthermore, we show that standard high-breakdown affine equivariant estimators propagate outliers and therefore show poor breakdown behavior under componentwise contamination when the dimension $d$ is high.

description: The Norris and Ortega (2000) study, a meta-analysis of pedagogical techniques, makes the reader think more deeply about experimental comparability. The study is as much about the basis of knowledge and inquiry as it is about the merits of a particular pedagogical technique. This meta-analytic feature, rather than the comparison of techniques, is of primary importance in this brief commentary.

description: We investigate the neutral hydrogen (HI) content of sixteen groups for which we have multi-wavelength data including X-ray observations. Wide-field imaging of the groups was obtained with the 20-cm multibeam system on the 64-m Parkes telescope. We have detected ten previously uncatalogued HI sources, one of which has no visible optical counterpart. We examine the HI properties of the groups, compared to their X-ray characteristics, finding that those groups with a higher X-ray temperature and luminosity contain less HI per galaxy. The HI content of a group depends on its morphological make-up, with those groups dominated by early-type galaxies containing the least total HI. We determined the expected HI for the spiral galaxies in the groups, and found that a number of the galaxies were HI deficient. The HI deficient spirals were found both in groups with and without a hot intra-group medium. The HI deficient galaxies were not necessarily found at the centre of the groups, however, we did find that two thirds of HI deficient galaxies were found within about 1 Mpc from the group centre, indicating that the group environment is affecting the gas-loss from these galaxies. We determined the HI mass function for a composite sample of 15 groups, and found that it is significantly flatter than the field HI mass function. We also find a lack of high HI-mass galaxies in groups. One possible cause of this effect is the tidal stripping of HI gas from spiral galaxies as they are pre-processed in groups.

Developing Readers’ Research Literacy

description: Norris and Ortega’s (2000) meta-analysis of second language teaching pedagogies is impressive in its scope. More meta-analyses such as this would be highly beneficial to the field of SLA. This research revealed two interesting points. The first concerns flaws in experimental and quasiexperimental studies in SLA. Many papers do not provide enough statistical data for others to reexamine the reliability and/or validity of a given study, or to replicate it in another setting. As Norris and Ortega mentioned, many studies do not report the descriptive statistics because of the page limits for submission to journals. However, the sample size of an investigation and preexperimental values, among other statistics, are important data for readers to evaluate. Stated significant differences might be meaningless if compared groups started at different proficiency levels, or if sample sizes were too small. Despite limited publishing space, it is still important to include some mention of descriptive statistics.

Focus on Form or Focus on FormS: Which Method Is More Effective?

Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: Norris and Ortega (2000) examined the effectiveness of L2 instruction by conducting a metaanalysis of experimental and quasi-experimental studies. Their study provided some positive evidence for the superiority of explicit instruction over implicit instruction and evidence for the durability of L2 instruction. However, it also indicated that, “a focus on form and a focus on forms are equally effective” (p. 501). This finding is surprising, given that other researchers have suggested that Focus on Form (FonF) fosters L2 learning in comparison with the traditional Focus on FormS (FonFS) instruction.

description: Recent experimental data on the optical conductivity of niobium doped SrTiO$_{3}$ are interpreted in terms of a gas of large polarons with effective coupling constant $α_{eff}\approx2$. The {theoretical approach takes into account} many-body effects, the electron-phonon interaction with multiple LO-phonon branches, and the degeneracy and the anisotropy of the Ti t$_{2g}$ conduction band. {Based on the Fröhlich interaction, the many-body large-polaron theory} provides an interpretation for the essential characteristics, except -- interestingly -- for the unexpectedly large intensity of a peak at $\sim130$ meV, of the observed optical conductivity spectra of SrTi$_{1-x}$Nb$_{x}$O$_{3}$ \textit{without} any adjustment of material parameters.

description: Norris and Ortega’s (2000) article provides both a useful perspective on SLA-informed investigations of L2 instruction and reflection on the gaps in this body of literature. Regarding the field’s contribution to our current understanding of the effectiveness of L2 instruction, Norris and Ortega’s summary highlights four main points: (1) L2 instruction is more effective than mere exposure to the L2; (2) Focus on FormS and Focus on Form instruction are equally effective; (3) explicit instruction is more effective than implicit instruction; and (4) L2 instructional effectiveness is durable.

Acute effects of single session pelvic floor muscle training on somatosensory and corticospinal excitability
Creators: name: Lin, Ying-Ho (Sharisse)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Background: The pelvic floor muscles (PFM) play a critical role in maintaining urogenital function. Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is a commonly prescribed, non-invasive, exercise intervention to manage urinary incontinence. It involves the practice of voluntary contractions of the muscles to different intensities and durations, as well as in combination with different functional tasks. As a non-invasive intervention with few to no side effects, PFMT is an attractive intervention for the management of urinary incontinence in different clinical populations. Despite its known clinical benefits, we still do not have a full understanding of the underlying neurophysiological effects of the intervention. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the acute neurophysiological changes in sensorimotor pathways following a single session of PFMT, compared to a control intervention (biceps brachii contractions). Methods: We randomly assigned participants to either the experimental (PFMT) or control (biceps training) group. Participants completed a training program consisting of 55 contractions to different intensities and durations of either their PFM or biceps brachii. To examine changes in somatosensory excitability associated with the PFM, we used electroencephalography to record somatosensory evoked potentials in response to pudendal nerve stimulation. To examine changes in corticospinal excitability, we used surface electromyography to record motor evoked potentials from the PFM elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation over the primary motor cortex. All measures were recorded before and after a single session of training and compared between groups. Results: Our data show no significant modulation in P40 amplitude of pudendal somatosensory evoked potential and PFM motor evoked potential amplitude. However, exploratory analysis suggests a possible relationship between intervention responder type (whether there was improvement in PFM contraction) and participant age, as well as somatosensory and corticospinal excitability. Conclusion: We found no acute modulation of somatosensory and corticospinal excitability of the PFM following a single session of PFMT. However, further exploration of the data revealed possible effect of age on the response to PFMT, as well as between responder type and changes in somatosensory and corticospinal excitability, which needs to be investigated further.

description: We report on simulations of QCD with many flavors of degenerate quarks, the DBW2 gauge action and naive staggered fermions, using the rational hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. We primarily focus on eight degenerate quark flavors where a variety of values of the coupling constant and quark mass have been used in the simulations. The scaling behavior of the hadron spectrum and the string tension of the heavy quark potential is studied, to probe whether the zero temperature, continuum limit of the theory breaks chiral symmetry.

Thoughts on Norris and Ortega (2000)
Creators: name: Park, Hyun Jung
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: I believe that L2 instruction is capable of affecting learning, even though, to some, it merely provides the learning of explicit knowledge and not the acquisition of implicit knowledge. This belief of mine may be rooted in my own experience of language learning in an EFL setting. In an EFL setting, input normally falls short of learners’ expectations, and learners’ exposure to English is severely restricted. Teachers seek alternatives to overcome the negative effects of limited time and insufficient input; they seek a variety of instructional approaches in order to impart a maximum of efficiency with a minimum of effort. My conviction remains unchanged, regardless of Krashen’s (1981, 1982, 1993) consistent argument that the effects of Form-Focused Instruction (FFI) are peripheral. To that end, the Norris and Ortega (2000) article, which investigates and supports FFI, asserts that FFI makes a considerable difference with regard to language learning.

Pondering over Focus on Form and Focus on FormS: Are There “Equivalent and Large Effects”?

description: It is reassuring that Norris and Ortega's (2000) study echoes Long's (1983, as cited in Han, 2004) finding that instruction does positively impact classroom L2 acquisition, provided that appropriate instruction is implemented. This finding serves as a substantial impetus for practitioners and researchers in the field to seek the best possible instructional practices. Norris and Ortega explore Long’s assertion by attempting to differentiate the magnitude of effectiveness of various types of instruction, namely, explicit versus implicit, Focus on Form (FonF) versusFocus on FormS (FonFS), and combinations of the two.
