description: There is now growing evidence that output promotes second language acquisition. Recently, interest has been shown in examining (a) the effect of output processing on subsequent input processing, and (b) what factors mediate that effect. An experiment was conducted for two proficiency levels of Japanese learners of English under two conditions (output and non-output). First, participants in the output condition wrote a story in English based on four cartoon pictures (output task processing). Second, participants in both conditions read a model story describing the four cartoon pictures (subsequent input processing). Third, both sets of participants were asked, without any advance notice, to recall what they had read (written free recall test). Performance on the written free recall test suggests that (a) output tasks facilitated subsequent input processing, and (b) complex relationships existed among L2 proficiency levels, experiment conditions, and linguistic domains during subsequent input processing. These findings are discussed with reference to second language acquisition research. Implications for pedagogical practice are also considered.

description: We consider the collapse of a charged radiation fluid in a Planck-suppressed quadratic extension of General Relativity (GR) formulated à la Palatini. We obtain exact analytical solutions that extend the charged Vaidya-type solution of GR, which allows to explore in detail new physics at the Planck scale. Starting from Minkowski space, we find that the collapsing fluid generates wormholes supported by the electric field. We discuss the relevance of our findings in relation to the quantum foam structure of space-time and the meaning of curvature divergences in this theory.

description: Research has generally shown that without early exposure, non-native speakers cannot achieve a native-like accent in a foreign language (Gass & Selinker, 2001, p. 336). Differences in pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation remain. Nevertheless, accent has been shown to affect how native speakers (NSs) evaluate non-native speakers (NNSs). This single speech characteristic has been openly cited as justification for much broader judgments about individuals. Lippi-Green (1997), for example, highlights several cases in the U.S. in which NNSs lost jobs due to their accents, such as that of an Indian woman (who had studied English for over 20 years) deemed unfit for a librarian’s position because of her “‘heavy accent’” and “‘speech patterns’” (p. 153). Matsuda (1991) reports on U.S. doctors who lost their malpractice insurance because the company felt accent would prevent them from successfully defending themselves in a lawsuit (p. 1346).

description: Unlike time-reversal topological insulators, surface metallic states with Dirac cone dispersion in the recently discovered topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) are protected by crystal symmetry. To date, TCI behaviors have been observed in SnTe and the related alloys Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$Se/Te, which incorporate heavy elements with large spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Here, by combining first-principles and {\it ab initio} tight-binding calculations, we report the formation of a TCI in the relatively lighter rock-salt SnS and SnSe. This TCI is characterized by an even number of Dirac cones at the high-symmetry (001), (110) and (111) surfaces, which are protected by the reflection symmetry with respect to the ($\bar{1}$10) mirror plane. We find that both SnS and SnSe have an intrinsically inverted band structure and the SOC is necessary only to open the bulk band gap. The bulk band gap evolution upon volume expansion reveals a topological transition from an ambient pressure TCI to a topologically trivial insulator. Our results indicate that the SOC alone is not sufficient to drive the topological transition.

description: The nature of the interaction-driven spontaneously broken-symmetry state in charge neutral bilayer graphene (BLG) has attracted a lot of interest. Theoretical studies predict various ordered states as the candidates for the ground state of BLG in the absence of external fields. Several experiments have been performed by different groups to identify the nature of the collective ground state in BLG. However, so far, there is no consensus: some experiments show evidence that suggests the establishment of a nematic gapless state, while others present results that are more consistent with the establishment of a fully gapped state. Moreover, even among the experiments that appear to see a bulk gap, some of the samples are found to be conducting (suggesting existence of gapless edge states), while others are insulating. Here we explore the hypothesis that disorder might explain the discrepancy between experiments. We find that the pair breaking effect due to non-magnetic short-range disorder varies among the candidate ground states, giving rise to different amounts of suppression of their mean-field transition temperatures. Our results indicate that BLG can undergo a transition between different ordered states as a function of the disorder strength providing a possible scenario to resolve the discrepancy between experimental observations.

description: Practice in a Second Language: Perspectives from Applied Linguistics and Cognitive Psychology, edited by Robert DeKeyser, discusses the role of second language (L2) practice across two related research fields: applied linguistics and cognitive psychology. The notion of practice is controversial and raises debate, as DeKeyser acknowledges in the very first page of the introduction to this volume. The controversy stems from the fact that practice is wrongly equated with mechanical drills, these having been rejected by mainstream language teaching methodologies over the past 30 years. In order to minimize potential controversies, DeKeyser presents a focused definition of practice as “specific activities in the second language, engaged in systematically, deliberately, with the goal of developing knowledge of and skills in the second language” (p. 1). The book is intended to be a helpful resource for L2 practitioners and researchers interested in understanding the role of practice in L2 acquisition.

description: We investigate the regular or chaotic nature of orbits of stars moving in the meridional plane (R,z) of an axially symmetric galactic model with a dense, massive spherical nucleus and a dark matter halo component. In particular, we study the influence of the fractional portion of the dark matter, by computing in each case the percentage of chaotic orbits, as well as the percentages of orbits of the main regular resonant families. In an attempt to distinguish between regular and chaotic motion, we use the Fast Lyapunov Indicator (FLI) method to extensive samples of orbits obtained by integrating numerically the equations of motion as well as the variational equations. Furthermore, a technique which is based mainly on the field of spectral dynamics that utilizes the Fourier transform of the time series of each coordinate is used for identifying the various families of regular orbits and also to recognize the secondary resonances that bifurcate from them. Two cases are studied in our work: (i) the case where we have a disk galaxy model (ii) the case where our model represents an elliptical galaxy. Comparison with early related work is also made.

description: Improving Testing for English Language Learners is a comprehensive book that provides relevant information on testing English language learners (ELLs) from kindergarten through twelfth grade in schools in the United States. The author, Rebecca J. Kopriva, blends her research background and experience with current issues surrounding the testing of ELLs. In selected chapters, she also collaborates with other leading researchers to provide more precise information on the topics covered. Specifically, this book examines test use by focusing on the interaction of the test-taker and content tests, rather than on language proficiency assessments. Kopriva currently works for the Wisconsin Center for Education Research at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, as a visiting researcher. She has also served as a testing director for various states as well as the U.S. Department of Education. This book, in fact, can be viewed as an extension of her previous research. She explains in the preface and chapter 1 that this book is not necessarily meant to be read cover to cover. Rather, each chapter stands alone as a reference on a particular topic. If the reader needs more background on ELLs, he or she can begin with the first chapters. However, if the reader already has established background knowledge, s/he can refer to those chapters which address his or her particular needs or interests.

description: By means of numerical simulations, we study the influence of confinement on three-dimensional random close packed (RCP) granular materials subject to gravity. The effects of grain shape (spherical or polyhedral) and polydispersity on this dependence are investigated. In agreement with a simple geometrical model, the solid fraction is found to decrease linearly for increasing confinement no matter the grain shape. This decrease remains valid for bidisperse sphere packings although the gradient seems to reduce significantly when the proportion of small particles reaches 40% by volume. The aforementioned model is extended to capture the effect of the confinement on the coordination number.

description: Over the past 15 years, SLA practitioners have devoted a sizable amount of research to investigating the effectiveness of various pedagogical interventions on L2 learners’ processing of input and their subsequent performance. Textual input enhancement (Sharwood Smith, 1993) and topic familiarity (Lesser, 2004) are two such approaches that researchers have investigated in this domain. The current quasi-experimental study, which involves 36 adult ESL learners, attempts to measure the impact of these two approaches upon the participants’ acquisition of form. In the study, the researcher incorporates grammatical structures—vis-à-vis textual input enhancement— in a meaning-oriented ESL reading class to observe the impact on the learners. The researcher also examines the role topic familiarity plays in acquisition of form.

description: Abstract We study biochemical reaction networks capable of product discrimination inspired by biological proofreading mechanisms. At equilibrium, product discrimination, the selective formation of a ‘correct’ product with respect to an ‘incorrect product’, is fundamentally limited by the free energy difference between the two products. However, biological systems often far exceed this limit, by using discriminatory networks that expend free energy to maintain non-equilibrium steady states. Non-equilibrium systems are notoriously difficult to analyze and no systematic methods exist for determining parameter regimes which maximize discrimination. Here we introduce a measure that can be computed directly from the biochemical rate constants which provides a condition for proofreading in a broad class of models, making it a useful objective function for optimizing discrimination schemes. Our results suggest that this measure is related to whether a network is processive or distributive. Processive networks are those that have a single dominant pathway for reaction progression, such as a protein complex that must be assembled sequentially. While distributive networks are those that have many effective pathways from the reactant to the product state; e.g. a protein complex in which the subunits can associate in any order. Non-equilibrium systems can discriminate using either binding energy (energetic) differences or activation energy (kinetic) differences. In both cases, proofreading is optimal when dissipation is maximized. In this work, we show that for a general class of proofreading networks, energetic discrimination requires processivity and kinetic discrimination requiring distributivity. Optimal discrimination thus requires both maximizing dissipation and being in the correct processive/distributive limit. Sometimes, adjusting a single rate may put these requirements in opposition and in these cases, the error may be a non-monotonic function of that rate. This provides an explanation for the observation that the error is a non-monotonic function of the irreversible drive in the original proofreading scheme of Hopfield and Ninio. Finally, we introduce mixed networks, in which one product is favored energetically and the other kinetically. In such networks, sensitive product switching can be achieved simply by spending free energy to drive the network toward either the processive limit or the distributive limit. Biologically, this corresponds to the ability to select between products by driving a single reaction without network fine tuning. This may be used to explore alternate product spaces in challenging environments.

description: Secure and precise personal identification is essential for the continuation of socioeconomic activities during a pandemic. In Japan, the main region of focus for this research, this became even clearer between 2020 and 2021 when multiple cases of online fraud involving identity theft took place, including a series of document forgery to receive a financial relief package and taking online job tests for someone else. When the next pandemic and the next lockdown come in the future, our society needs to be better prepared to face this challenge of continuing life under severely restricted in-person communication.

description: We use simulated SN Ia samples, including both photometry and spectra, to perform the first direct validation of cosmology analysis using the SALT-II light curve model. This validation includes residuals from the light curve training process, systematic biases in SN Ia distance measurements, and the bias on the dark energy equation of state parameter w. Using the SN-analysis package SNANA, we simulate and analyze realistic samples corresponding to the data samples used in the SNLS3 analysis: 120 low-redshift (z < 0.1) SNe Ia, 255 SDSS SNe Ia (z < 0.4), and 290 SNLS SNe Ia (z <= 1). To probe systematic uncertainties in detail, we vary the input spectral model, the model of intrinsic scatter, and the smoothing (i.e., regularization) parameters used during the SALT-II model training. Using realistic intrinsic scatter models results in a slight bias in the ultraviolet portion of the trained SALT-II model, and w biases (winput - wrecovered) ranging from -0.005 +/- 0.012 to -0.024 +/- 0.010. These biases are indistinguishable from each other within uncertainty; the average bias on w is -0.014 +/- 0.007.

description: In the field of teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), great importance has often been placed on using language in authentic ways. As a result of the inability of many second language (L2) students to construct and adapt language for various academic and professional needs (St. John, 1996), genre analysis has gained attention as a framework for teaching ESL students to write texts they way they are constructed in authentic situations. However, the lack of empirically derived discipline-specific genre exemplars to practically utilize in the L2 writing classroom has prompted the need for (a) further analysis of various texts found outside of the classroom setting and (b) an investigation into how language is manipulated to meet the purposes of those texts. Following Bhatia’s (2008) and Cheng’s (2008) notions that students need to have practical genre exemplars to aid them in understanding how text-external influences (e.g., the purpose for writing and the reader’s expectations) affect linguistic choices, the focus of this paper is to demonstrate how one type of professional text, the résumé, is constructed using a genre-based framework. The analysis follows a genre perspective of analyzing texts both linguistically, based on the English for Specific Purposes school of genre, and contextually, from the New Rhetoric school. In constructing this specific text, the writer’s understanding of text-external influences, namely expectations the hiring company has for the desired applicant, was essential for the development of organizational patterns and lexical construction of their résumés. This study highlights the importance of having not only an understanding of the linguistic knowledge needed to construct various texts, but also of the text-external influences on those linguistic choices.

description: The paper addresses the problem of relaxation of open quantum systems. Using the path integral methods we found an analytical expression for time-dependent density matrix of two coupled quantum oscillators interacting with different baths of oscillators. The expression for density matrix was found in the linear regime with respect to the coupling constant between selected oscillators. Time-dependent spatial variances and covariance were investigated analytically and numerically. It was shown that asymptotic variances in the long-time limit are always in accordance with the fluctuation dissipation theorem despite on their initial values. In the weak coupling approach there is good reason to believe that subsystems asymptotically in equilibrium at their own temperatures even despite of the arbitrary difference in temperatures within the whole system.

description: Radiation therapy (RT) for extremity soft tissue sarcoma is associated with lymphedema risk. In this study, we analyzed the influence of lymph-sparing volume on the lymphedema occurrence in patients who received adjuvant extremity RT. The lymph-sparing quotient (LSQ) was calculated by dividing the lymph-sparing volume by the total extremity volume with double weightingfor the narrowest lymph-sparing region. A total of 34 patients were enrolled in this analysis. The median applied total radiation dose was 66.3 Gy in 36 fractions. Acute lymphedema appeared in 12 patients (35%). Most of them (n = 8) were lymphedema grade 1 and five patients had grade 2 to 3 lymphedema. Chronic lymphedema appeared in 22 patients (65%). 17 of these patients had at least a grade 2 lymphedema. In 13 of 14 patients with an LSQ ≤ 0.2 and 11 of 20 patients with an LSQ > 0.2, an acute or chronic lymphedema ≥ grade 2 was observed. A Kaplan–Meier Analysis of the two groups with the endpoint of a two-year lymph edema-free survival (=2-YLEFS) was estimated with an univariate, significant result (2-YLEFS LSQ ≤ 0.2 vs. LSQ > 0.2: 0% vs. 39%; p = 0.006; hazard ratio LSQ ≤ 0.2 vs. > 0.2 2-YLEFS 2.822 (p = 0.013); 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.24–6.42). Maximizing the potential oncologically-justifiable lymph-sparing volume should be considered to reduce the risk of high-grade lymphedema when applying RT to extremities.

description: This is a pre-registration of planned analyses for an existing dataset collected in 2018. Participants were active-duty firefighters from an urban district in the Midwest of the United States. Research has shown that “ill-defined” or “medically unexplained” somatic symptoms are common in individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (Gupta, 2013). Indeed, PTSD is associated with dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, HPA axis, and other systems, which could manifest in an array of common somatic experiences (e.g., gastrointestinal issues, chest pains, rashes). In addition, PTSD has been shown to be associated with heightened disgust, which is an emotional response to cues of health-related threats (Tybur et al., 2013). PTSD has also been shown to associated with self-focused disgust (e.g., disgust toward one’s own physical characteristics; Olatunji et al., 2023). Disgust is characterized by heightened activation of the anterior insula, an area of the brain involved in interoception (e.g., internal sensations; Gan et al., 2022). Thus, disgust might be an affective mechanism linking PTSD and experiences of somatic symptoms via heightened attention to unpleasant interoceptive cues. Therefore, the aim of these pre-registered analyses is to test whether experiences of disgust moderate the relationship between PTSD history and somatic symptoms reported in a weekly diary.

description: In Communication Disorders in Spanish Speakers: Theoretical, Research, and Clinical Aspects, the editors, José Centeno, Raquel Anderson, and Lorain Obler, have assembled a multidisciplinary perspective on an emergent avenue in the field of linguistics, sociolinguistics, and language pathology: the study of the growing and ubiquitous population of Spanish speakers in the United States. This field is multidisciplinary in breadth yet inconsistent in the depth with which each vein has been examined. Therefore, in an effort to address these issues, the editors have brought together views from contrastive analyses, cross-linguistic investigations, and empirical studies of monolingual and bilingual Spanish-speaking children and adults in educational, professional, and clinical settings. The intended audience of this volume includes students and practitioners in the fields of linguistics, sociolinguistics, and speech-language pathology. Students, researchers, and clinicians working with Spanish speakers, whether monolingual or bilingual, language-impaired or not, are provided with chapters on a variety of topics from which they can glean practical and often illuminating information.
A Case for Ecclesiastical Minting of Anglo-Viking Coins

Ecclesiastical Minting

description: Within a few decades of the first Viking conquests of England, strong currency systems developed in Viking controlled parts of England. This preceded minting and the use of coins as currency in other Viking territories by about one hundred years. Herein, a case is made that the early development of currency in Anglo-Viking England is poorly explained by secular minting by Viking authorities but is well explained by ecclesiastical minting. The implications of ecclesiastical minting are discussed in the context of other sources of information on the church in early Anglo-Viking England.

description: We live in a ‘throwaway and replace’ culture, our growing population and demand for new products has placed huge pressures on our planet’s resources. Our economy is locked into a system in which everything from production to economics and the way people behave favours a linear model of production and consumption, where resources pass through from sourcing to disposal in a ‘take-make-use-dispose’ construct. Climate instability, volatile commodity prices, ocean dead zones, vanishing forests, stalling economic growth, expanding food insecurity and resource conflicts are all part of the resource to waste linear economics (Grayson, 2008). Any of these are surely justifiable reasons to explore a new pattern. This research presents the findings from a feasibility study exploring Redistributed Manufacture (RDM) in Maker Spaces, using these hubs to experiment with new making practices and processes for reusing local textile waste. With the aim cultivating knowledge, skills and capabilities to grow Circular Economy (CE) practices in Scotland. The exploratory method of developing ‘Circular Fashion Archetypes’ is discussed and applied as a practical solution to connect different stakeholders and prototype a local model for a circular supply chain. The insights drawn from this research act as a starting point for future work, reflecting on the implications of the methods applied, concluding the circular economy is the same imperative whether people are focusing on ecology, economy or just their own business. Furthermore, it will suggest that design-led approaches play a role in embedding collaborative ways of working to integrate sustainability into the business modelling process.

description: This is the editorial introduction to the first issue of Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures and the Americas to focus on Asian Latin American content. This special issue examines the transnational aspects that have produced concrete and imagined exchanges between Asia and Latin America not only as linked by their connection to the Iberian empires, but also in ways that puncture imperial/colonial dichotomies. The academics and artistic practitioners who have contributed to this issue engage polycentric perspectives in order to approach their studies of Asian diasporic movements from different locations within and without academic provinces. Each piece provokes an understanding of necessarily global histories, such as immigration, trade, cultural and literary exchange, and translation, as well as the power dynamics that shape—and are shaped by—practical experiences of language, nation, ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, and religion.
Following a Trend with an Exponential Moving Average: Analytical Results for a Gaussian Model

description: We investigate how price variations of a stock are transformed into profits and losses (P&Ls) of a trend following strategy. In the frame of a Gaussian model, we derive the probability distribution of P&Ls and analyze its moments (mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis) and asymptotic behavior (quantiles). We show that the asymmetry of the distribution (with often small losses and less frequent but significant profits) is reminiscent to trend following strategies and less dependent on peculiarities of price variations. At short times, trend following strategies admit larger losses than one may anticipate from standard Gaussian estimates, while smaller losses are ensured at longer times. Simple explicit formulas characterizing the distribution of P&Ls illustrate the basic mechanisms of momentum trading, while general matrix representations can be applied to arbitrary Gaussian models. We also compute explicitly annualized risk adjusted P&L and strategy turnover to account for transaction costs. We deduce the trend following optimal timescale and its dependence on both auto-correlation level and transaction costs. Theoretical results are illustrated on the Dow Jones index.
Pricking the Monster: Netflix and the modification of how and what we watch

description: Established in 1997, Netflix Inc. introduced a subscription-based DVD-by-mail service in 1999, and went public in 2005 at a share price of $15. At this stage, Netflix--whose basic plan now sits at $7.99--has upwards of 69 million subscribers around the world, a figure that is likely to dramatically increase following recent entry into 130 additional territories in January 2016. (Johnson) Crucially, Netflix is no longer just an aggregator of content from various networks and studios, but rather its own provider of quality film and television content. To date, the impact of Netflix is undeniable and far-reaching. Precisely what this new technology has done, and is continuing to do, to the film and television industries should not go unacknowledged. Namely, one can pose the question, how does Netflix modify not only our cinema and television-watching habits, but also the content that is produced and consumed?

description: Some 3,431 U.S. interstate custom combine crews harvested 14.1 million acres of crops on the Great Plains in 1971. Of the 35 percent of the wheat acreage custom harvested, U.S. interstate crews harvested 89 percent and Canadian crews harvested less than 4 percent. Chief competitors to the U.S. interstate cutters are U.S. intrastate custom operators harvesting neighbors' grain. Interstate combine crew sizes ranged from 1 to 12 combines but crews having 2 machines were most common. Twenty-foot headers were the most common size. Combines harvested an average 1,871 acres per machine. Supporting the combines were 12,209 trucks— usually 1 grain hauling truck per combine and 1 pickup truck per crew. Labor on the 3,431 crews totaled 16,414 workers.

description: The main aim of this study is to investigate the impact of Instagram Influencers endorsements on the users’ behavior. Emphasis is given on how the Influencers’ endorsements, promotions, and reviews of products and services affect the online purchase intention. Also, it is examined how the social commerce shopping model rises through the cooperation of Instagram Influencers with the Brands. The survey is based on 250 Greek Instagram users who were from 18 to above 40 years old. The data were gathered using a structured questionnaire which was distributed online with random sampling. The survey took place in Thessaly, Greece. The research hypothesis was tested using regression analysis. The findings confirm the hypothesis that Influencers do affect the consumers in social media as long as some parameters. This new marketing strategy specifically seems to affect the way how companies understand their consumers' needs. Managerial implications are discussed, along with some interesting future research opportunities arising from this study. One main limitation was the sample, which was customers who are located in Thessaly, Greece. Research on the subject of how online shoppers interact with social media Influencers in the Greek market is limited. The majority of studies published concerning online consumer behavior investigate mostly the trends in social media. This research was conducted exclusively via Instagram and focuses on how the Influencers affect the purchase intentions of their followers. The study presents data findings, topics, business disciplines, and researchers' views that should be used by academics and professionals to study fields of low academic knowledge and improve marketing strategies

description: Guided by the research-supported belief that empathy and the feeling of alliance between a client and therapist are the active force in therapeutic change, and motivated by my desire to help R.D. Laing increase his income, in 1981, I suggested to Laing that he write a book telling his readers how to have a therapeutic relationship with a carefully selected person outside the confines of therapy. Like the heroine in the movie, Pretty Woman, he saved me right back, by counter-proposing that I join him in London to write such a book. By doing so, we could try to create a successful "how-to" book and to increase our personal options as one does in a successful therapy. That is the way R.D. Laing & Me: Lessons in Love-which is actually a true love story-began.
