description: We construct combined electric and magnetic field variables which independently represent energy flows in the forward and backward directions respectively, and use these to re-formulate Maxwell's equations. These variables enable us to not only judge the effect and significance of backward-travelling field components, but also to discard them when appropriate. They thereby have the potential to simplify numerical simulations, leading to potential speed gains of up to 100% over standard FDTD or PSSD simulations. We present results for various illustrative situations, including an example application to second harmonic generation in periodically poled lithium niobate. These field variables are also used to derive both envelope equations useful for narrow-band pulse propagation, and a second order wave equation. Alternative definitions are also presented.

description: Quantum models based on the mathematics of quantum mechanics (QM) have been developed in cognitive sciences, game theory and econophysics. In this work a generalization of credit loans is introduced by using the vector space formalism of QM. Operators for the debt, amortization, interest and periodic installments are defined and its mean values in an arbitrary orthonormal basis of the vectorial space give the corresponding values at each period of the loan. Endowing the vector space of dimension M, where M is the loan duration, with a SO(M) symmetry, it is possible to rotate the eigenbasis to obtain better schedule periodic payments for the borrower, by using the rotation angles of the SO(M) transformation. Given that a rotation preserves the length of the vectors, the total amortization, debt and periodic installments are not changed. For a general description of the formalism introduced, the loan operator relations are given in terms of a generalized Heisenberg algebra, where finite dimensional representations are considered and commutative operators are defined for the specific loan types. The results obtained are an improvement of the usual financial instrument of credit because introduce several degrees of freedom through the rotation angles, which allows to select superposition states of the corresponding commutative operators that enables the borrower to tune the periodic installments in order to obtain better benefits without changing what the lender earns.

Perceptions of learning needs for patients with heart valve replacements four to ten weeks after hospital discharge
Creators: name: Lespérance, Andrew Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study was undertaken because a review of the literature revealed that there had been limited research pertaining to the learning need of patients with heart valve replacements. The focus of the study was to determine what this patient population perceived their learning needs to be during the early weeks after hospital discharge, when they occurred, and how they should be addressed. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from both the Vancouver Hospital and The University of British Columbia ethics approval committees. A descriptive methodology was used. Henderson’s philosophy of nursing was used to assist in devising prompts for the semi-structured interview process. Eighteen patients were recruited from a local teaching hospital and interviewed in their homes four to then weeks after hospital discharge. The interviews were taped and transcribed. Manifest and latent content analysis were used to analyze the data. The results revealed many of the traditional cardiac learning needs applied to this patient population including such things as the need for education related to fatigue, mobility, emotions, activities of daily living, support and medication, exercises and the resumption of sexual activity. However, within these general categories, specific education requirements related to the valve replacement population were noted. Information and education was required for such issues as the valve’s life expectancy, the potential for valve failure, the anticoagulant regimen, and nutritional requirements. Participants also expressed valve related fears, and required time to adjust to these. The need for social, support was expressed by all participants. It was determined that single people and women resumed various activities earlier in recovery than married and male participants. Participants preferred having their physicians educate them on a one to one basis about the recovery process, and believed post-operative education was best provided in hospital well before discharge. Conclusions are drawn and the implications the results have for nursing education, practice, research and of the health care professionals are discussed.

description: Beginning with a brief reference to the concepts of the supply chain and the relationships between the links of it, we stress the importance of a good forecast of the demand. The goal is a quantitative analysis of the data of the warehouse and the portion of sales to an existing business to be done, in order to see the importance of it. The company we will address is the Mparmpa Stathis SA, the leader of frozen foods. Specifically, the issues we will study are two: the classification of stocks and the forecast of the demand for fresh salads (new successful products). The next step is the results of the classification of stocks-interesting enough to create proposals for each category. As for the part of the forecast for the fresh salads, for the first 6 months (forecast per week) the results are compared and resemble each other. The comparisons of the forecasts per day appear to have some differences to the real ones, due to the fact that there are several holidays in the early days of the year. An other conclusion that comes out of the seasonal factors is the fact that there are days with the higher demand as long as periods of months. Therefore, this study will help so as the production and distribution are prepared appropriately and the supply chain operation is optimized .

description: An application of the Soil Moisture Agricultural Drought Index (SMADI) at the global scale is presented. The index integrates surface soil moisture from the SMOS mission with land surface temperature (LST) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from MODIS and allows for global drought monitoring at medium spatial scales (0.05 deg).. Biweekly maps of SMADI were obtained from year 2010 to 2015 over all agricultural areas on Earth. The SMADI time-series were compared with state-of-the-art drought indices over the Iberian Peninsula. Results show a good agreement between SMADI and the Crop Moisture Index (CMI) retrieved at five weather stations (with correlation coefficient, R from -0.64 to -0.79) and the Soil Water Deficit Index (SWDI) at the Soil Moisture Measurement Stations Network of the University of Salamanca (REMEDHUS) (R=-0.83). Some preliminary tests were also made over the continental United States using the Vegetation Drought Response Index (VegDRI), with very encouraging results regarding the spatial occurrence of droughts during summer seasons. Additionally, SMADI allowed to identify distinctive patterns of regional drought over the Indian Peninsula in spring of 2012. Overall results support the use of SMADI for monitoring agricultural drought events world-wide.

description: The transport behavior of a system of gravitationally driven colloidal particles is investigated. The particle interactions are determined by the superparamagnetic behavior of the particles. They can thus be arranged in a crystalline order by application of an external magnetic field. Therefore the motion of the particles through a narrow channel occurs in well-defined lanes. The arrangement of the particles is perturbed by diffusion and the motion induced by gravity. Due to these combined influences a density gradient forms along the direction of motion of the particles. A reconfiguration of the crystal is observed leading to a reduction of the number of lanes. In the course of the lane reduction transition a local melting of the quasi-crystalline phase to a disordered phase and a subsequent crystallization along the motion of the particles is observed. This transition is characterized experimentally and using Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations.

There is an instability at higher multi-poles $\ell$ and large Gauss-Bonnet coupling $α$ for $D= 5, 6$, which is stabilized at higher $D$. Although small negative gap of the effective potential for scalar type of gravitational perturbations, exists for higher $D$ and whatever $α$, it does not lead to any instability.

description: Extending quantum control to increasingly complex systems is crucial for both advancing quantum technologies and fundamental physics. In trapped ion systems, quantum logic techniques that combine a well-controlled logic species with a more complex spectroscopy species have proven to be a powerful tool for extending the range of accessible species. Here, we demonstrate that a quantum system as complex as $^{48}$Ti$^+$ with its many metastable states can be controlled employing a combination of intrinsic thermalization due to collisions with background gas and quantum-logic techniques using a far-detuned Raman laser. The preparation of pure quantum states allows coherent manipulation and high resolution measurements of the Zeeman structure in $^{48}$Ti$^+$. The presented techniques are applicable to a wide range of ionic species giving access to a larger variety of systems for fundamental physics and constitute the first step for quantum-controlled spectroscopy of transition metals, relevant, e.g., for the interpretation of astrophysical spectra.

description: Στη διπλωματική αυτή εργασία εξετάζεται η αρχή της ισότητας και της ίσης μεταχείρισης των μετόχων και των εταίρων της Ε.Π.Ε. Στόχος ήταν να εντοπισθούν οι νομοθετικές διατάξεις στις οποίες η αρχή της ισότητας μπορεί να θεμελιωθεί και να καταδειχθούν οι δύο αλληλοσυμπληρούμενες όψεις της, καθώς αυτή εκδηλώνεται αφενός ως αρχή των ίσων δικαιωμάτων και των ίσων υποχρεώσεων και αφετέρου ως αρχή της ισότιμης μεταχείρισης των εταίρων. Κατά πρώτο λόγο, γίνεται αναφορά στην αρχή της ισότητας, όπως αυτή θεσπίζεται στο δίκαιο της ανώνυμης εταιρίας, ως αρχή των ίσων μετοχικών δικαιωμάτων. Στη συνέχεια, παρουσιάζονται οι απόψεις που διατυπώθηκαν παλαιότερα στην ελληνική επιστήμη για την αυτοτέλεια ή μη της αρχής της ίσης μεταχείρισης των μετόχων και ερευνάται η θέση της υπό εξέταση αρχής τόσο στο ελληνικό όσο και στο κοινοτικό δίκαιο. Ακόμη, γίνεται μία λεπτομερής ανάλυση σχετικά με τη φύση και τη λειτουργία της αρχής της ίσης μεταχείρισης των μετόχων. Τέλος, αναπτύσσεται πιο συνοπτικά η εφαρμογή της αρχής της ισότητας στο δίκαιο της εταιρίας περιορισμένης ευθύνης. Ταυτόχρονα επιδιώκεται μία σύγκριση του τρόπου λειτουργίας της αρχής της ισότητας στις δύο παραπάνω εταιρίες, ώστε να καταστεί εμφανής η διαπίστωση ότι η υπό εξέταση αρχή συνδέεται αναπόσπαστα με τη φύση και τα ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικά κάθε εταιρίας.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the principle of equality and equal treatment of shareholders and LLC members (Limited Liability Company).We highlighted that the general principle of equality on company law has two different meanings: equality of members’ rights and obligations and equality of treatment. Firstly, we examined the provisions of greek legislation that lay down the principle of shareholders’ equality of rights. Secondly, we presented the argument that greek scientists of law have had about the significance of equal treatment and then we analyzed how this rule evolved in EU company law and greek company law. Furthermore, we explained how this general principle applies to Public Limited Liability Companies and as well as to Limited Liability Companies. Finally, we compared the results of our study concerning these two types of companies and concluded that the principle of equality of members adapts to the special features of each company.

description: In this paper, the effect of B and N doping on the phonon induced thermal conductivity of graphene has been investigated. This study is important when one has to evaluate the usefulness of electronic properties of B and N doped graphene. We have performed the calculations by employing density functional perturbation theory(DFPT) to calculate the inter-atomic forces=force constants of pristine/doped graphene. Thermal conductivity calculations have been carried out by making use of linearized Boltzmann transport equations (LBTE) under single-mode relaxation time approximation (RTA). The thermal conductivity of pristine graphene has been found to be of the order of 4000W/mK at 100K, which decreases gradually with an increase in temperature. The thermal conductivity decreases drastically by 96 % to 190 W/mK when doped with 12.5 % B and reduces by 99 % to 30 W/mK with 25 % B doping. When graphene is doped with N, the thermal conductivity decreases to 4 W/mK and 55 W/mK for 12.5 % and 25 % doping concentration, respectively. We have found that the thermal conductivity of doped graphene show less sensitivity to change in temperature. It has also been shown that the thermal conductivity of graphene can be tuned with doping and has a strong dependence on doping concentration.

description: We show that below the degenerate temperature the distribution profiles of strongly interacting anyons in one dimension coincide with the most probable distributions of ideal particles obeying generalized exclusion statistics (GES). In the strongly interacting regime the thermodynamics and the local two-particle correlation function derived from the GES are seen to agree for low temperatures with the results derived for the anyon model using the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz. The anyonic and dynamical interactions implement a continuous range of GES, providing a signature of strongly interacting anyons, including the strongly interacting one-dimensional Bose gas.

description: In this work we present a few simple cosmological models under the modified theory of gravity in the particular form of $f(R,\mathcal{T})=R+2f(\mathcal{T})$, where $R$ is the Ricci Scalar and $\mathcal{T}$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. Two special cosmological models are studied with (i) hyperbolic scale factor and (ii) specific form of the Hubble parameter. The models are observed to predict relevant cosmological parameters closer to the observational values. Both the models reduce to overlap with the $Λ$CDM model at late times. We have discussed some interesting results related to wormhole solutions as evolved from our model. The possible occurrence of Big Trip in wormholes for the models are also discussed.

On the Efficacy of Friction Damping in the Presence of Nonlinear Modal Interactions

description: This work addresses friction-induced modal interactions in jointed structures, and their effects on the passive mitigation of vibrations by means of friction damping. Under the condition of (nearly) commensurable natural frequencies, the nonlinear character of friction can cause so-called nonlinear modal interactions. If harmonic forcing near the natural frequency of a specific mode is applied, for instance, another mode may be excited due to nonlinear energy transfer and thus contribute considerably to the vibration response. We investigate how this phenomenon affects the performance of friction damping. To this end, we study the steady-state, periodic forced vibrations of a system of two beams connected via a local mechanical friction joint. The system can be tuned to continuously adjust the ratio between the first two natural frequencies in the range around the $1:3$ internal resonance, in order to trigger or suppress the emergence of modal interactions. Due to the re-distribution of the vibration energy, the vibration level can in fact be reduced in certain situations. However, in other situations, the multi-harmonic character of the vibration has detrimental effects on the effective damping provided by the friction joint. The resulting response level can be significantly larger than in the absence of modal interactions. Moreover, it is shown that the vibration behavior is highly sensitive in the neighborhood of internal resonances. It is thus concluded that the condition of internal resonance should be avoided in the design of friction-damped systems.
Perceptions of first line nurse managers managing in a culturally diverse environment
Creators: name: Lim, Virginia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Canada is a culturally diverse society with immigration trends that continue to accentuate the cultural diversity. In health care, staff from diverse cultural backgrounds provide care for equally diverse patient populations. Transcultural care poses several challenges for nurses. Unfortunately, there is growing evidence that the needs of culturally diverse clients are not always met. This has implications for first line nurse managers who are responsible for ensuring a high quality of patient care and a harmonious work environment. There are few studies that examine first line nurse managers managing in a climate of cultural diversity of staff members and patients. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of first line nurse managers managing in a culturally diverse environment. A descriptive design was used given the limited research on this topic. A purposive sample was selected from each of three hospitals in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia for the purpose of focus groups. Each of these hospitals had staff members from diverse cultural backgrounds serving diverse patient populations. Between six and eight first line nurse managers participated in each of three focus groups. Data were examined using latent content analysis, with segments of data coded into categories from which themes emerged. The findings of the study revealed that managing in a culturally diverse environment is very complex and challenging for first line nurse managers. The challenges of difficulties in communication, differing expectations and behavioural norms, and conflict resolution were areas of major concern for first line nurse managers. Both facilitators and barriers to managing in a culturally diverse environment became apparent. Facilitators included the hospital philosophy and policies, resources and services, matching cultural profiles, and celebrating cultural differences. The absence of any of these facilitators can create a barrier to valuing cultural diversity. Additional barriers included discrimination, lack of knowledge about other cultures, and decreasing financial resources. Finally, it appears that culturally diverse patients may receive a lower standard of care in some instances due to the inability of staff to meet their unique needs. The quality of transcultural care is dependent to some extent on the presence or absence of facilitators and barriers. Implications for nursing practice, research, education, and hospital administration were identified from the findings.

description: We derive the nonequilibrium transient state work fluctuation theorem and also the Jarzynski equality for a classical harmonic oscillator linearly coupled to a harmonic heat bath, which is dragged by an external agent. Coupling with the bath makes the dynamics not only dissipative but also non-Markovian in general. Since we do not assume anything about the spectral nature of the harmonic bath the derivation is not only restricted to the Markovian bath rather it is more general, for a non-Markovian bath.

description: The experimental fact that relaxation times, tau, of supercooled liquids and polymers are uniquely defined by the quantity TV^g, where T is temperature, V specific volume, and g a material constant, leads to a number of interpretations and predictions concerning the dynamics of vitrification. Herein we examine means to determine the scaling exponent g apart from the usual superpositioning of relaxation data. If the intermolecular potential can be approximated by an inverse power law, as implied by the TV^g scaling, various equations are derived relating g to the Gruneisen parameter and to a common expression for the pressure derivative of the glass temperature. In addition, without assumptions, g can be obtained directly from pressure-volume-temperature data. These methods for determining g from molecular or thermodynamic properties are useful because they enable the P- and V-dependences of tau to be obtained, and thereby various analyses of the dynamics to be explored, without the need to carry out relaxation measurements beyond ambient pressure.

description: Η αναγνωστική κατανόηση, σήμερα, στην εποχή της Πληροφορίας και των Νέων Τεχνολογιών, αποτελεί αναμφισβήτητη ανάγκη κάθε οργανωμένης κοινωνίας. Η κατανόηση είναι η βάση και όχι η συνέπεια της ανάγνωσης. Επιπλέον, οι γρήγορες τεχνολογικές εξελίξεις και η κυριαρχία των εικονιστικών μέσων δημιουργούν νέες απαιτήσεις όσον αφορά την κατανόηση νέων τύπων κειμένων που είναι στην πλειοψηφία τους πολυτροπικά. Σύμφωνα με τα παραπάνω, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη ότι το κυρίαρχο κειμενικό είδος στο δημοτικό σχολείο στο μάθημα της Γλώσσας θεωρείται το αφηγηματικό και δεδομένης της απουσίας του όρου πολυτροπικότητα στα αναλυτικά προγράμματα σπουδών προέκυψε η ανάγκη διερεύνησης του επιπέδου αναγνωστικής κατανόησης παιδιών σε πληροφοριακά πολυτροπικά κείμενα. Για το λόγο αυτό, 62 μαθητές της ΣΤ΄ Δημοτικού, εξετάστηκαν σε 4 έργα κατανόησης πληροφοριακών πολυτροπικών κειμένων διαφορετικής δυσκολίας. Τα παιδιά του δείγματος παρουσίασαν αδυναμία ενσωμάτωσης των πληροφοριών του κειμένου, μεγαλύτερη αδυναμία συνδυασμού γραπτών και εικονικών πληροφοριών του κειμένου και ακόμα μεγαλύτερη αδυναμία εξαγωγής συμπερασμάτων βάσει των πληροφοριών του κειμένου που διαβάζουν. Οι στατιστικές αναλύσεις έδειξαν ότι το φύλο των παιδιών και η περιοχή διαμονής τους δεν είχαν καμία επίδραση στις επιδόσεις αναγνωστικής κατανόησης που επέδειξαν.

Moreover, rapid technological developments and the dominance of visual means create new demands on comprehending new text types which are mostly multimodal. According to the above, given the dominance of narrative texts in primary school, whereas observing the absence of the term multimodality in the curricula resulted into focusing on the investigation of primary school students’ comprehension ability in expository multimodal texts. For this reason, 62 sixth grade students were tested in 4 comprehension tests varying in difficulty. The participants are having difficulties in information integrating, combining written and visual information and inference making. The statistical analysis indicated that gender and children’s area of residence had no effect on children’s reading comprehension ability. On the contrary, texts’ levels of difficulty seem to have an effect on reading comprehension ability.

description: Agent-based computational economics (ACE) - while adopted comparably widely in other domains of managerial science - is a rather novel paradigm for management accounting research (MAR). This paper provides an overview of opportunities and difficulties that ACE may have for research in management accounting and, in particular, introduces a framework that researchers in management accounting may employ when considering ACE as a paradigm for their particular research endeavor. The framework builds on the two interrelated paradigmatic elements of ACE: a set of theoretical assumptions on economic agents and the approach of agent-based modeling. Particular focus is put on contrasting opportunities and difficulties of ACE in comparison to other research methods employed in MAR.

description: Recent swampland conjectures highlight again the importance of finding viable scenarios for inflation that are not strictly single-field. In particular, one may wonder whether there are multi-field inflationary scenarios that have a similar phenomenology to single field inflation. We present a family of exact models of inflation - dubbed Orbital Inflation - in which the multi-field effects are significant, but the phenomenology remains similar to single field inflation. This simple predictions have a dynamic origin, and are non-trivial, as the isocurvature perturbations are exactly massless. The effective action of perturbations inherits a symmetry from an equivalence between background solutions. We comment on how our results could be connected to symmetries of the UV theory.

Η μελέτη των προσωπικοτήτων των πατριαρχών βοηθάει να κατανοηθούν οι θρησκευτικές, αλλά και πολιτικές αλλαγές αυτής της περιόδου στην αυτοκρατορία και κυρίως στην πρωτεύουσα. Επίσης, γίνεται αναφορά στο πατριαρχικό αξίωμα, το ιστορικό πλαίσιο της εικονομαχικής περιόδου και τις θεωρίες γύρω από αυτή. Η εργασία αυτή ολοκληρώνεται με τη σύνοψη των κυριότερων συμπερασμάτων.
description: The object of the present post-graduate project is the study of the iconoclast and iconolater patriarchs during the iconoclastic period of 726-843. The study of the patriarchs personalities aids in understanding both the religious and the political alternations of that period in the empire and mostly in the capital city. Furthermore there is reference to the patriarchal position, the historical background of the period of iconoclasm and the theories around it. This study concludes with a summary of the principal inferences.

description: M1-92 can be considered an archetype of bipolar pre-planetary nebulae. It shows a clear axial symmetry, along with the kinematics and momentum excess characteristic of this class of envelopes around post-AGB stars. By taking advantage of the new extended configuration of the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer, we wanted to study the morphology and velocity field of the molecular gas better in this nebula, particularly in its central part. We performed sub-arcsecond resolution interferometric observations of the J=2-1 rotational line 13CO M1-92. We found that the equatorial component is a thin flat disk, which expands radially with a velocity proportional to the distance to the center. The kinetic age of this equatorial flow is very similar to that of the two lobes. The small widths and velocity dispersion in the gas forming the lobe walls confirm that the acceleration responsible for the nebular shape could not last more than 100-120 yr. The present kinematics of the molecular gas can be explained as the result of a single brief acceleration event, after which the nebula reached an expansion velocity field with axial symmetry. In view of the similarity to other objects, we speculate on the possibility that the whole nebula was formed as a result of a magneto-rotational explosion in a common-envelope system.

description: Abstract

This study examines the difference between men and women managers concerning their managerial behavior. The managerial styles of male and female department heads were compared in this quantitative study. To fulfill the intended goals of the study, a survey was carried out. The 262 participants of both genders and 131 department heads—25 of whom were female and 106 of whom were male- provided the data. The information was gathered using questionnaires on a five-point Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed by applying descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study showed that both men and women managers behave in the same way they do not differ in their general perceptions as a manager and no significant difference was found in their managerial behavior. Women, as compared to men, were less in number in top management positions. It is therefore recommended that the government allow managers, both male and female, to have equal possibilities to become top managers.

Global complexity effects due to local damping in a nonlinear system in 1:3 internal resonance

description: It is well-known that nonlinearity may lead to localization effects and coupling of internally resonant modes. However, research focused primarily on conservative systems commonly assumes that the near-resonant forced response closely follows the autonomous dynamics. Our results for even a simple system of two coupled oscillators with a cubic spring clearly contradict this common belief. We demonstrate analytically and numerically global effects of a weak local damping source in a harmonically forced nonlinear system under condition of 1:3 internal resonance: The global motion becomes asynchronous, i.e., mode complexity is introduced with a non-trivial phase difference between the modal oscillations. In particular, we show that a maximum mode complexity with a phase difference of $90^\circ$ is attained in a multi-harmonic sense. This corresponds to a transition from generalized standing to traveling waves in the system's modal space. We further demonstrate that the localization is crucially affected by the system's damping. Finally, we propose an extension of the definition of mode complexity and mode localization to nonlinear quasi-periodic motions, and illustrate their application to a quasi-periodic regime in the forced response.

description: Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and ${\bar k}$ an algebraic closure of $k$. For a geometrically integral variety $X$ over $k$, we write ${\bar k}(X)$ for the function field of ${\bar X}=X\times_k{\bar k}$. If $X$ has a smooth $k$-point, the natural embedding of multiplicative groups ${\bar k}^*\hookrightarrow {\bar k}(X)^* $ admits a Galois-equivariant retraction. In the first part of the paper, over local and then over global fields, equivalent conditions to the existence of such a retraction are given. They are expressed in terms of the Brauer group of $X$. In the second part of the paper, we restrict attention to varieties which are homogeneous spaces of connected but otherwise arbitrary algebraic groups, with connected geometric stabilizers. For $k$ local or global, for such a variety $X$, in many situations but not all, the existence of a Galois-equivariant retraction to ${\bar k}^*\hookrightarrow {\bar k}(X)^* $ ensures the existence of a $k$-rational point on $X$. For homogeneous spaces of linear algebraic groups, the technique also handles the case where $k$ is the function field of a complex surface.

One sound system or two? : Evidence from one infant learning english and norwegian

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: To date, there is very little information about the early stages of bilingual language acquisition, and the information available is largely based on diary and anecdotal reports. In this thesis research the productions of one infant A, (1;9) learning English and Norwegian were analysed to provide information about the phonological system(s) acquired by a bilingual infant. Two issues where addressed; (1) whether an infant simultaneously acquiring two languages uses a single phonetic inventory or two separate systems, and (2) the effect a bilingual environment has on phonological acquisition. Speech productions were collected via audio recordings during free play, parental diary records and the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory: Infants f1 989). All data were used to analyse the infant's lexicon. Transcriptions of the recorded data were compared across language environments and target languages in terms of phonetic inventories, syllabic inventories and substitution patterns. At the lexical level, A took the language of the listener into account in that he used a higher proportion of English words in the English environment and a higher percentage of Norwegian words in the Norwegian environment. He did not differentiate phonetic production. A used a single phonetic inventory in his productions of English and Norwegian words. A crosslanguage influence was noted in his system, as it contained both English and Norwegian segments, such as [w], which is part of the English (but not the Norwegian) system, and [0], which occurs in Norwegian, but not English.

description: The anomalous Hall effect is investigated experimentally and theoretically for ferromagnetic thin films of Mn$_5$Ge$_3$. We have separated the intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to the experimental anomalous Hall effect, and calculated the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity from the Berry curvature of the Bloch states using first-principles methods. The intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity depends linearly on the magnetization, which can be understood from the long wavelength fluctuations of the spin orientation at finite temperatures. The quantitative agreement between theory and experiment is remarkably good, not only near 0 K, but also at finite temperatures, up to about ~ 240 K (0.8 T$_C$})

description: Here we show how time-resolved broadband optical spectroscopy can be used to quantify, with femtometer resolution, the oscillation amplitudes of coherent phonons through a displacive model without free tuning parameters, except an overall scaling factor determined by comparison between experimental data and density functional theory calculations. $WTe_2$ is used to benchmark this approach. In this semimetal, the response is anisotropic and provides the spectral fingerprints of two $A_1$ optical phonons at $\sim$8 and $\sim$80 $cm^-$$^1$. In principle, this methodology can be extended to any material in which an ultrafast excitation triggers coherent lattice modes modulating the high-energy optical properties.
