description: Parents and grandparents in China are implementing family language policies (FLPs) to promote their children’s bilingualism, which needs a detailed study focusing on them. This study investigated the FLPs of families of young children who are non-native speakers of English living in China. Using a case study methodology (Merriam, 1998), I examined the FLPs of five Chinese families who are raising their children bilingually. This study described, compared, and contrasted the language ideologies, language management, and language practices among the families by using semi-structured interviews with parents and grandparents, parent-child audio recordings, weekly literacy activities, and children’s artefacts. The study draws from Spolsky’s (2004) language policy model as its conceptual framework. The findings revealed that almost all mothers believe that English and Chinese were equally important, while all fathers believed Mandarin was more important, and different beliefs about English were found among grandparents. Although most of the fathers had good English abilities, it was the mothers who conducted most of the English language management and practice at home, revealing a gendered division of labour in FLP. The study also found that grandparents played vital roles in children’s Mandarin language development. These families faced similar challenges and obstacles in raising a bilingual child in China: lack of English environment and time; occasional demotivation; financial burdens; and, misunderstanding from others. The findings from this study reveal the importance of participation by all family members in supporting each other in raising bilingual children, including the grandparents. Finally, contrary to some parents’ beliefs, the mothers’ English abilities and educational background should not be a constraint to English FLP and the children’s English development.
High frequency optomechanical and Kerr response of diamond microdisks

Publisher: name: Graduate Studies

Subjects: subject: Education--Sciences

description: Optomechanical cavities enables reversible coupling between light and mechanical motion. Furthermore, by harnessing the susceptibility of spin qubits to applied strain, optomechanical cavities constitutes a promising platform for the realisation of phonon mediated spin photon interfaces – a key element in a quantum network. Recently, a proof-of-principle of such a spin-photon interface was demonstrated using a diamond microdisk optomechanical cavity, where a single mechanical radial breathing mode, with a fixed mechanical frequency, was used to manipulate the spin-state of an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. However, this approach requires frequency matching between the mechanical frequency of the radial breathing mode and the qubit transition – a condition not always satisfied. In this work, we explore the potential of higher frequency mechanical modes, by performing multimode optomechanical spectroscopy of a diamond microdisks, accessible by the coherent coupling between optical cavity modes and mechanical resonances. In addition to the previously observed radial breathing mode, we have shown that the diamond microdisk exhibit a rich mechanical mode spectrum, with higher order mechanical resonances ranging in frequency from 1 GHz to 10 GHz vibrating in a different manner. Furthermore, the larger mechanical frequency offered by the higher order modes are less susceptible to decoherence due to their lower thermal phonon population. These mechanical modes exhibit Fano line shape, due to interference between the optical Kerr effect and the mechanical resonances. The Fano line shape allows the optomechanical coupling strength to be determined from the mechanical susceptibility, thus eliminating the need for employing traditionally frequency noise calibration technique that limits the measurement of the optomechanical coupling strength to the fundamental radial breathing mode. The observation of multiple mechanical modes which are modeled considering optical Kerr nonlinearity, offers a promising potential for improved spin-optomechanical experiments, in addition to expand applications using diamond microdisk to multimode optomechanics studies.

The spectrum and the spectral measures are discussed in each case and the corresponding eigenfunction expansion is written down explicitly in most cases. In some cases we encounter new orthogonal polynomials with explicit three term recurrence relations where nothing is known about their explicit representations or orthogonality measures.

description: Nigeria is one of the many African countries affected by the dangerous impacts of the activities of multinational oil corporations. These environmentally degrading activities have negative effects on the inhabitants of the country. As Nigeria relies on crude oil as its main revenue source, conversations around developing alternative means of generating energy without compromising Nigeria’s environmental health continue to grow. It is now apparent that in order to drive the course of alternative energy in Nigeria, adequate financing is required. Green bonds can provide a creative solution to this recurring environmental problem while ensuring that qualitative green projects continuously receive adequate funding. The Nigerian green finance market was therefore birthed as a result of the need to finance green projects, that is, projects designed to generate energy with the least adverse effect on the environment. However, to attract the quality of investors needed to sponsor these green projects, the Nigerian green bond market needs to gain the trust of investors. Nigeria’s green finance market must establish advanced systems that could help secure investor trust. Currently, the state of the Nigerian green bond market is not sophisticated enough to attract, let alone, retain these investors. Noting the direct impact green bonds have on the development of sustainability, and drawing inspiration from existing international practices, this thesis seeks to explore the many ways by which a more sophisticated green bond market can be developed for Nigeria and how this will impact the promotion of sustainability in Nigeria.

description: We perform a complete classification of two-band $\bk\cdot\mathbf{p}$ theories at band crossing points in 3D semimetals with $n$-fold rotation symmetry and broken time-reversal symmetry. Using this classification, we show the existence of new 3D topological semimetals characterized by $C_{4,6}$-protected double-Weyl nodes with quadratic in-plane (along $k_{x,y}$) dispersion or $C_6$-protected triple-Weyl nodes with cubic in-plane dispersion. We apply this theory to the 3D ferromagnet HgCr$_2$Se$_4$ and confirm it is a double-Weyl metal protected by $C_4$ symmetry. Furthermore, if the direction of the ferromagnetism is shifted away from the [001]- to the [111]-axis, the double-Weyl node splits into four single Weyl nodes, as dictated by the point group $S_6$ of that phase. Finally, we discuss experimentally relevant effects including splitting of multi-Weyl nodes by applying $C_n$ breaking strain and the surface Fermi arcs in these new semimetals.

description: We study the production of (hyper-)nuclei and di-baryons in most central heavy Ion collisions at energies of $E_{lab}=1-160 A$ GeV. In particular we are interested in clusters produced from the hot and dense fireball. The formation rate of strange and non-strange clusters is estimated by assuming thermal production from the intermediate phase of the UrQMD-hydro hybrid model and alternatively by the coalescence mechanism from a hadronic cascade model. Both model types are compared in detail. For most energies we find that both approaches agree in their predictions for the yields of the clusters. Only for very low beam energies, and for di-baryons including $Ξ$'s, we observe considerable differences. We also study the production of anti-matter clusters up to top RHIC energies and show that the observation of anti-$^4He$ and even anti-$^4_ΛHe$ is feasible. We have found a considerable qualitative difference in the energy dependence of the strangeness population factor $R_H$ when comparing the thermal production with the coalescence results.

description: Earlier calculations of black hole entropy in loop quantum gravity led to a dominant term proportional to the area, but there was a correction involving the logarithm of the area, the Chern-Simons level being assumed to be large. We find that the calculations yield an entropy proportional to the area eigenvalue with no such correction if the Chern-Simons level is finite, so that the area eigenvalue can be relatively large.

description: To understand the spatiotemporal dynamics of brain function, both high spatial and temporal resolution imaging data are required. Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are two non-invasive and complementary functional brain imaging methods with high temporal and spatial resolution, respectively. Thus, combining EEG and fMRI data would permit mapping of brain function with high temporal and spatial resolution simultaneously. The accurate design of models for EEG-fMRI data integration has become an important research topic; however, to date, the success of these models has been limited. In this thesis, new analysis methods are proposed that combine mathematically decomposed components of EEG and fMRI data, guided by information about the underlying neural activity. Specifically, this thesis introduces and validates novel methods based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to remove the global signal (GS) from fMRI, denoise the gamma frequency band of EEG, and to integrate EEG with fMRI data. EMD-based methods, ICEEDMAN and the 3D-EMD, are used to decompose EEG and fMRI data into temporal- and spatial-Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) (TIMFs and SIMFs, respectively). First, we show that GS can be removed from the fMRI by removing low-frequency SIMFs causing spurious high global connectivity in the brain. Second, we denoise EEG Gamma-band by removing low-power TIMFs from its frequency- and amplitude-modulated components corresponding to the noise. Finally, we improve EEG source localization precision by adding fMRI’s high spatial-frequency-based weights to the EEG inverse problem’s gain matrix, thereby improving EEG's spatial resolution, especially when deep regions are involved. This thesis thus develops novel methods to increase the precision of imaging of brain function with less artifacts and high spatial and temporal resolutions. A more complete representation of brain function is crucial for better brain function realization, accurate diagnosis, and development of effective treatments for brain diseases such as epilepsy and ADHD. It could aid by specifying sources of seizures and distinguishing patterns and networks involved in ADHD and epileptic activities with high precision.

description: Thermalization has been shown to occur in a number of closed quantum many-body systems, but the description of the actual thermalization dynamics is prohibitively complex. Here, we present a model - in one and two dimensions - for which we can analytically show that the evolution into thermal equilibrium is governed by a Fokker-Planck equation derived from the underlying quantum dynamics. Our approach does not rely on a formal distinction of weakly coupled bath and system degrees of freedom. The results show that transitions within narrow energy shells lead to a dynamics which is dominated by entropy and establishes detailed balance conditions that determine both the eventual equilibrium state and the non-equilibrium relaxation to it.

On the near-threshold peak structure in the differential cross section of ϕ-meson photoproduction: indication of a missing resonance with non-negligible strangeness content

description: The details of the analysis of the near-threshold bump structure in the forward differential cross section of the ϕ-meson photoproduction to determine whether it is a signature of a resonance are presented. The analysis is carried out in an effective Lagrangian approach which includes Pomeron and (π,η) exchanges in the t channel, and contributions from the s- and u-channel excitations of a postulated nucleon resonance. In addition to the differential cross sections, we use the nine spin-density matrix elements (SDME) as recently measured, instead of the phi-meson decay angular distributions which depend only on six SDMEs as was done before, to constrain the resonance parameters. We conclude that indeed the nonmonotonic behavior, along with the other experimental data as reported by LEPS, can only be explained with an assumption of the excitation of a resonance of spin 3/2, as previously reported. However, both parities can account for the data equally well with almost identical mass of 2.08 +/- 0.04 GeV and width of 0.501 +/- 0.117 and 0.570 +/- 0.159 for 3/2^+ and 3/2^-, respectively. The ratio of the helicity amplitudes A_{1/2}/A_{3/2} calculated from the resulting coupling constants differs in sign from that of the known D_{13}(2080). More experimental data on single and double polarization observables are needed to resolve the parity. We further find that with an assumption of large values of the OZI-evading parameters x_{OZI} = 12 for J^P = 3/2^- and x_{OZI} = 9 for J^P = 3/2^+, the discrepancy between the recent experimental data on ω-meson photoproduction and theoretical model can be considerably reduced. We argue that the large value of x_{OZI} indicates that the postulated resonance contains non-negligible amount of strangeness content.

description: We demonstrate that any self-adjoint coupling in a quantum graph vertex can be approximated by a family of magnetic Schroedinger operators on a tubular network built over the graph. If such a manifold has a boundary, Neumann conditions are imposed at it. The procedure involves a local change of graph topology in the vicinity of the vertex; the approximation scheme constructed on the graph is subsequently `lifted' to the manifold. For the corresponding operator a norm-resolvent convergence is proved, with the natural identification map, as the tube diameters tend to zero.

Quark-Novae in Neutron Star-White-Dwarf Binaries: A model for luminous (spin-down powered) sub-Chandrasekhar-mass Type Ia Supernovae ?

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We show that appealing to a Quark-Nova (QN) in a tight binary system containing a massive neutron star and a CO white dwarf (WD), a Type Ia explosion could occur. The QN ejecta collides with the WD driving a shock that triggers Carbon burning under degenerate conditions (the QN-Ia). The conditions in the compressed low-mass WD (M_WD < 0.9M_sun) in our model mimics those of a Chandrasekhar mass WD. The spin-down luminosity from the QN compact remnant (the quark star) provides additional power that makes the QN-Ia light-curve brighter and broader than a standard SN-Ia with similar 56Ni yield. In QNe-Ia, photometry and spectroscopy are not necessarily linked since the kinetic energy of the ejecta has a contribution from spin-down power and nuclear decay. Although QNe-Ia may not obey the Phillips relationship, their brightness and their relatively "normal looking" light-curves means they could be included in the cosmological sample. Light-curve fitters would be confused by the discrepancy between spectroscopy at peak and photometry and would correct for it by effectively brightening or dimming the QNe-Ia apparent magnitudes. Thus over- or under-estimating the true magnitude of these spin-down powered SNe-Ia. Contamination of QNe-Ia in samples of SNe-Ia used for cosmological analyses could systematically bias measurements of cosmological parameters if QNe-Ia are numerous enough at high-redshift. The strong mixing induced by spin-down wind combined with the low 56Ni yields in QNe-Ia means that these would lack a secondary maximum in the i-band despite their luminous nature. We discuss possible QNe-Ia progenitors.

I describe the ways in which a child in grade three, formally diagnosed through standardized testing as having a writing learning disability, engages in new literacy practices in his home context. Data were collected via field notes, participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and digital photographs of artifacts. The theoretical frameworks that influenced this study were Vygotsky's social constructionist theory, the theory of new literacies, Gunther Kress’s theory of multimodality, and the New London Group's multiliteracies pedagogy. The artifacts I documented and collected were analyzed using multimodality analysis, as I adapted from Gillian Rose's visual methodology approach. The focus is on the role of image and the ways the participant incorporated drawings and computer-generated visuals into his texts. The role of technology in his meaning-making and how it affects his identity construction and sense of agency is particularly noted and discussed. The overall aim is to inform current pedagogical practices and address a gap in the literature by focusing on a child who has a learning disability, yet who is superior in intelligence and gifted in other cognitive abilities, and to explore whether it is possible to bridge the gap between new literacy practices and traditional, school print-based ones. The findings reinforce current research on the importance of acknowledging and bringing into the classroom children's competencies with digital literacies from their out-of-school literacy practices. They also support the need to reassess current methods of teaching writing and to investigate the non-linear qualities in children's multimodal text-making. A final intent of this study is that it will raise awareness of addressing the needs of students who are marginalized in the classroom and how a multimodal and multiliteracies approach may support not only cultural diversity, but also learner diversity.

description: We show that the existence of exceptional polynomials leads to the presence of non-trivial supersymmetry. The existence of these polynomials reveals several distinct isospectral potentials for the Schrödinger equation. All Schrödinger equations having Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials as their solutions, have non-trivial supersymmetric partners with corresponding exceptional polynomials as solutions.

L’immaginazione al lavoro. Che cosa e come conosciamo dal romanzo
Creators: name: Consoli, Gianluca

Subjects: Finzione, immaginazione, mind reading, verosimi-glianza, esemplificazione

description: L’articolo delinea i fondamenti di un’epistemologia del romanzo, rispondendo alle domande di base: che cosa e come possiamo conoscere attraverso il romanzo. A partire dalla definizione del romanzo come racconto di finzione, viene sviluppata  una posizione di cognitivismo radicale, per la quale il romanzo (a) produce conoscenza modale; (b) giustifica questa conoscenza in base al principio della verosimiglianza; (c) favorisce l’apprendimento per esperienza in virtù dell’esemplificazione immaginativa. Le tesi proposte vengono corroborate in riferimento ai recenti dati sperimentali ottenuti dalle scienze cognitive, in particolare dalla psicologia cognitiva, sull’immaginazione, la finzione, la simulazione.

description: This dissertation presents mixed-methods research that studies the conundrum of why Canadian bank-owned investment firms are failing to grow their numbers of female Investment Advisors (IAs), and how structured teaming within investment management could potentially provide support for career progression, particularly amongst women. First, qualitative exploratory interviews were conducted within one of Canada’s “Big 5” Canadian bank-owned investment firms (n=39) to accomplish the following: 1) understand the elements of organizational culture and the IA role itself that caused roadblocks for women and the factors that deter women from pursuing the role of IA; and 2) understand directly from both men and women what elements, features, and environments help them overcome barriers, advance their careers, and be successful in the role of IA. Barriers fell into three themes: mentorship, career self-efficacy, and work/life conflict, while structured teaming within investment management appeared to alleviate many of the pain-points identified. The second quantitative study investigates teaming’s impact on career advancement. Three hypotheses were tested using linear regression to analyze the results of responses gathered through questionnaires (N=162) distributed within the same firm. The results of the survey show preliminary support for the theory that structured teaming within investment management positively impacts mentorship for both males and females, and positively impacts work/life conflict to a stronger degree for females when moderated by gender. The two studies, when combined, suggest that structured teaming within investment management can provide a rich environment for conversion factors that lead to higher capability of becoming an IA, thus providing better opportunity for career advancement. Providing better opportunity for advancement can help more women become successful IAs and increase their numbers in the field of investment management.

description: En los últimos años se ha multiplicado la publicación de diccionarios especializados para aprendices de lengua española como lengua extranjera. Este trabajo se propone analizar uno de los productos lexicográficos pioneros de este sector, el Diccionario de Salamanca de 1996, para mostrar ciertas pautas sobre los criterios que nos ayudan a calibrar la calidad de una obra así. Se trata de comprender hasta qué punto debe ser diferente del elaborado para usuarios nativos en general comparándolo con dos volúmenes representativos de lexicografía no especializada en ELE: el de la Real Academia (DRAE) y el Diccionario del Español Actual (DEA), considerado hoy en día como uno de los mejores que hay en el mercado. Se reflexionará por tanto sobre cuáles son los elementos útiles, necesarios e incluso imprescindibles en el sector dedicado a este tipo de usuarios.

description: In2O3-based chemiresistive gas sensors are extendedly employed in detecting and monitoring trace gas pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) owing to their benefits of low cost, small size, and long lifespan. However, their applications are also limited by low sensitivity (compared to optical sensors), long response/recovery time, and the requirement of operation under high temperatures (when compared to electrochemical sensors). This study designed and fabricated three new materials to overcome these challenges. The first material is Ag nanoparticles decorated In2O3 microtubes (Ag-In2O3) derived from annealing metal-organic-framework (In-MIL-68) and loading Ag nanoparticles by chemical reduction. When the weight proportion of Ag reached 6%, the materials exhibited superior NO2 sensing performance at room temperature (RT, 20-25oC). The response is up to 60.2 to 1 ppm NO2, about 3.5 times that of the In2O3 sensor. The corresponding response/recovery time declines from 228/381 s (pure In2O3) to 157/90 s (Ag-In2O3). Its detection limit is 162 ppb. The excellent NO2 sensing properties can be attributed to the formation of heterojunction between Ag and In2O3, high surface area, and spill-over effect of Ag. The second material is constructed by MoS2 nanoflakes grown vertically on the surface of In2O3 microtubes. We found that In2O3@MoS2 composite with a 25% mass of MoS2 presents an outstanding sensing performance with a response of 39.4 to 1 ppm NO2 at RT. The response and recovery time are 72 s and 118 s, respectively, and the detection limit is 115.4 ppb. The enhanced NO2 sensing performance may benefit from p-n heterojunction at the MoS2/In2O3 interface, the increased oxygen vacancies, chemisorbed oxygen, and improved specific area and pore size distribution. The third material is synthesized through rational integration of ultrathin 2D g-C3N4 nanosheets and In2O3 nanoparticles by hydrothermal and calcination. The optimized composites demonstrated a high gas response of 325 toward 1 ppm NO2 and a short response/recovery time (115/81 s). Moreover, the prepared composites displayed excellent reproducibility, a low detection limit (18 ppb), and satisfied selectivity to NO2 at RT. The outstanding gas sensing properties might be due to heterojunction, enhanced specific surface, and enriched defects.
