description: This study examined occupational exposures of Ottawa firefighters to combustion by-products and selected metals. We measured exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), antimony, cadmium, and lead using (1) personal air samplers worn by firefighters during emergency fire suppression; (2) wipe samples from skin, personal clothing, and personal protective equipment (PPE) collected before and after emergency firefighting (n=29), and (3) air samples collected in three fire stations, truck cabs, and one administration office. We assessed OFS PPE decontamination procedures using wipe samples collected before and after laundering (n=12). Air concentrations exceeded occupational exposure limits at two fire events for lead and nine for PAHs. After fire suppression, PAH concentrations were significantly higher on skin and PPE (p<0.001), antimony on skin, clothing, and PPE (p<0.001, 0.01, and 0.05, respectively), and lead on skin and PPE (p<0.001). Air concentrations of PAHs and antimony were significantly higher in vehicle bays compared to the office (p<0.05), but significantly lower compared to fire truck cabs (p<0.05). Washing PPE was effective in removing, on average, 61% of PAHs, 55% of antimony, 97% of lead, and 90% of cadmium. These results indicate that firefighters are significantly exposed, via multiple routes, to combustion by-products during on-shift fire suppression.
Teaching Tension: How Exploring the Tension Between Objectivity and Social Construction Can Enhance Information Literacy
Creators: name: Taylor, Dom
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: The tension between objectivity and constructiveness in relation to truth and knowledge is hotly debated in information literacy. This tension is, in fact, a positive force in information literacy instruction. Rather than be resolved, this tension ought to be leveraged to generate critical and iterative thinking in our students.

description: Quantum memories are critical for solid-state quantum computing devices and a good quantum memory requires both long storage time and fast read/write operations. A promising system is the Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center in diamond, where the NV electronic spin serves as the computing qubit and a nearby nuclear spin as the memory qubit. Previous works used remote, weakly coupled $^{13}$C nuclear spins, trading read/write speed for long storage time. Here we focus instead on the intrinsic strongly coupled $^{14}$N nuclear spin. We first quantitatively understand its decoherence mechanism, identifying as its source the electronic spin that acts as a quantum fluctuator. We then propose a scheme to protect the quantum memory from the fluctuating noise by applying dynamical decoupling on the environment itself. We demonstrate a factor of $3$ enhancement of the storage time in a proof-of-principle experiment, showing the potential for a quantum memory that combines fast operation with long coherence time.

The Effect of the Minimum Wage on the Employment Rate in Canada, 1979-2016
Creators: name: Shumakova, Eliana
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2017

description: The main focus of this paper is to evaluate the impact of the minimum wage on the teenage employment rate using Canadian Labour Force Survey data (1979 – 2016). The impact is both economically and statistically significant. In particular, my findings suggest that a 10% increase in the minimum wage decreases the teenage employment rate by approximately 1.4 percentage points. There appears to be some lag effect of the minimum wage (up to 12 months). Finally, the results remain similar when broken down by gender, although slightly larger effects are found for males.
Measurement of differential cross-sections of a single top quark produced in association with a $W$ boson at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with ATLAS

description: The differential cross-section for the production of a $W$ boson in association with a top quark is measured for several particle-level observables. The measurements are performed using 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2015 and 2016. Differential cross-sections are measured in a fiducial phase space defined by the presence of two charged leptons and exactly one jet matched to a $b$-hadron, and are normalised with the fiducial cross-section. Results are found to be in good agreement with predictions from several Monte Carlo event generators.

Uplifted cool gas and heating by mixing in cooling flows

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze our earlier three-dimensional hydrodynamical numerical simulation of jet-inflated bubbles in cooling flow clusters, and find that dense gas that was not heated by the jets' activity and that resides around the hot jet-inflated bubbles can be identified as uplifted gas as observed in some clusters. During the build up of the dense gas around the hot bubble, mixing of hot bubble gas with other regions of the intracluster medium (ICM) heats the ICM. The vortices that mix the ICM with the hot bubble gas also excite shock waves, sound waves, and turbulence. Sound waves, shocks, turbulence, and uplifted gas, might be easier to detect than the mixing process and hence attract more attention, but we argue that the contributions of these processes to the heating of the ICM do not add up to the level of contribution of the mixing-heating process.

description: A study conducted by the U.S. Secret Service and the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute CERT Program analyzed 150 insider cyber crimes across U.S. critical infrastructure sectors. Follow-up work by CERT involved detailed group modeling and analysis of 30 cases of insider IT sabotage out of the 150 total cases. Insider IT sabotage includes incidents in which the insider's primary goal is to sabotage some aspect of the organization or direct specific harm toward an individual. This paper describes seven general observations about insider IT sabotage based on our empirical data and study findings. We describe a system dynamics model of the insider IT sabotage problem that elaborates complex interactions in the domain and unintended con-sequences of organizational policies, practices, technology, and culture on insider behavior. We describe the structure of an education and awareness workshop on insider IT sabotage that incorporates the previously mentioned artifacts as well as an interactive instructional case.

description: Supermassive black holes at the centre of galactic nuclei mostly grow in mass through gas accretion over cosmic time. This process also modifies the angular momentum (or spin) of black holes, both in magnitude and in orientation. Despite being often neglected in galaxy formation simulations, spin plays a crucial role in modulating accretion power, driving jet feedback, and determining recoil velocity of coalescing black hole binaries. We present a new accretion model for the moving-mesh code {\sc arepo} that incorporates (i) mass accretion through a thin $α$-disc, and (ii) spin evolution through the Bardeen-Petterson effect. We use a diverse suite of idealised simulations to explore the physical connection between spin evolution and larger scale environment. We find that black holes with mass $\lesssim 10^{7}$ M$_{\odot}$ experience quick alignment with the accretion disc. This favours prolonged phases of spin-up, and the spin direction evolves according to the gas inflow on timescales as short as $\lesssim 100$ Myr, which might explain the observed jet direction distribution in Seyfert galaxies. Heavier black holes ($\gtrsim 10^{8}$ M$_{\odot}$) are instead more sensitive to the local gas kinematic. Here we find a wider distribution in spin magnitudes: spin-ups are favoured if gas inflow maintains a preferential direction, and spin-downs occur for nearly isotropic infall, while the spin direction does not change much over short timescales $\sim 100$ Myr. We therefore conclude that supermassive black holes with masses $\gtrsim 5 \times 10^{8}$ M$_{\odot}$ may be the ideal testbed to determine the main mode of black hole fuelling over cosmic time.

description: The following document is ‘Deliverable 4.1 Datasets description’ in the framework of the project titled ‘Revealing fair and actionable knowledge from data to support women’s inclusion in transport systems.’ (Acronym: DIAMOND; Grant Agreement No 824326). The document describes the datasets collected through the activities of ‘Work Package 3 – Data collection’1 (from M9-July 2019 to M25-November 2020), focusing on each Use Case of DIAMOND: Use Case I: Public Transport Infrastructures (Railways); Use Case II: (Emotion in) Autonomous Passenger Car; Use Case III: Vehicle (Bike) Sharing Fleet Management; Use Case IV: Employment of Women in Rail Industry and Freight/CSR Protocols. Data collection campaigns have been based on the methodological approach of the DIAMOND project2. This relies on the Fairness Characteristics (FCs) identified through Thematic Analysis and on a series of interdisciplinary tools and methods (as listed below). The heterogeneous and disaggregated datasets gathered through the executed data collection campaigns are classified in three main categories: Thematic analysis: Literature review (All Use Cases); Focus Groups (All Use Cases); Semi structured interview (All Use Cases). Service and Employers’ Provision Data: Structured data (Use Cases I, III and IV); Observations (Use Cases I, II and III); Users and Employees’ Satisfaction Index questionnaires (all Use Cases); Social media data (Use Cases I, II and III). Users and Employees’ Perception Data: Dynamic Argumentative Delphi survey questionnaires (all Use Cases). Deliverable 4.1 is aimed at reporting the datasets collected for the DIAMOND project including information about the identification of dataset sources, data collection tools, data collection timeline and responsible partners of the Consortium for each data collection activity. Within the objectives of the ‘Work Package 4 – Interdisciplinary model creation’, the Service and Employers’ Database will be analysed using Regression Analysis and Bayesian Networks, while the Users and Employees Perception Database will be analysed using Analytic Hierarchy Processes.
Post-Newtonian effects of Dirac particle in curved spacetime - II : the electron g-2 in the Earth's gravity

description: The general relativistic effects to the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron ${\rm g}_{\rm e}$-2 in the Earth's gravitational field have been examined. The magnetic moment of electrons to be measured on the Earth's surface is evaluated as $μ_{\rm m}^{\rm eff} \simeq (1\!+\!3ϕ/c^2)\,μ_{\rm m}$ on the basis of the Dirac equation containing the post-Newtonian effects of the general relativity for fermions moving in the Earth's gravitational field. This implies that the anomalous magnetic moment of $10^{-9}$ appears in addition to the radiative corrections in the quantum field theory. This may seem contradictory with the fact of the 12th digit agreement between the experimental value measured on the ground level ${\rm g}_{\rm e(EXP)}$ and the theoretical value calculated in the flat spacetime ${\rm g}_{\rm e(SM)}$. In this paper, we show that the apparent contradiction can be explained consistently with the framework of the general relativity.

description: This report makes recommendations for testing service-oriented architecture (SOA) implementations consisting of infrastructure, services, and end-to-end processes. Testing implementations of SOA infrastructure, services, and end-to-end processing in support of business processes is complex. SOA infrastructure is often composed of multiple, independently constructed commercial products—often from different vendors—that must be carefully configured to interact in an appropriate manner. Services are loosely coupled components which are intended to make minimal assumptions about where, why, and under what environmental conditions they are invoked. Business processes link together multiple services and other systems in support of specific tasks. These services and systems may operate on remote platforms controlled by different organizations and with different SOA infrastructures. Such complications make it difficult to establish appropriate environments for tests, to ensure specific qualities of service, and to keep testing up-to-date with changing configurations of platforms, infrastructure, services, and other components.

description: The Finsleroid--Finsler space becomes regular when the norm $||b||=c$ of the input 1-form $b$ is taken to be an arbitrary positive scalar $c(x) < 1$. By performing required direct evaluations, the respective spray coefficients have been obtained in a simple and transparent form. The adequate continuation into the regular pseudo-Finsleroid domain has been indicated. The Finsleroid-regular Berwald space is found under the assumptions that the Finsleroid charge is a constant and the 1-form $b$ is parallel. Keywords: Finsler metrics, spray coefficients, curvature tensors.

description: Using high-resolution (sub-kiloparsec scale) submillimeter data obtained by ALMA, we analyze the star formation rate (SFR), gas content and kinematics in SDP 81, a gravitationally-lensed star-forming galaxy at redshift 3. We estimate the SFR surface density ($Σ_{\mathrm{SFR}}$) in the brightest clump of this galaxy to be $357^{+135}_{-85}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot}\,yr^{-1}\,kpc^{-2}}$, over an area of $0.07\pm0.02\,\mathrm{kpc}^2$. Using the intensity-weighted velocity of CO$\,$(5-4), we measure the turbulent velocity dispersion in the plane-of-the-sky and find $σ_{\mathrm{v,turb}} = 37\pm5\,\mathrm{km\,s}^{-1}$ for the star-forming clump, in good agreement with previous estimates along the line of sight. Our measurements of gas surface density, freefall time and turbulent Mach number reveal that the role of turbulence is vital to explaining the observed SFR in this clump. While the Kennicutt Schmidt (KS) relation predicts a SFR surface density of $Σ_{\mathrm{SFR,KS}} = 52\pm17\,\mathrm{M_{\odot}\,yr^{-1}\,kpc^{-2}}$, the single-freefall model by Krumholz, Dekel and McKee (KDM) predicts $Σ_{\mathrm{SFR,KDM}} = 106\pm37\,\mathrm{M_{\odot}\,yr^{-1}\,kpc^{-2}}$. In contrast, the multi-freefall (turbulence) model by Salim, Federrath and Kewley (SFK) gives $Σ_{\mathrm{SFR,SFK}} = 491^{+139}_{-194}\,\mathrm{M_{\odot}\,yr^{-1}\,kpc^{-2}}$. Although the SFK relation overestimates the SFR in this clump (possibly due to the ignorance of magnetic field), it provides the best prediction among the available models. Finally, we compare the star formation and gas properties of this high-redshift galaxy to local star-forming regions and find that the SFK relation provides the best estimates of SFR in both local and high-redshift galaxies.

description: The general relativistic effects to the anomalous magnetic moment of muons moving in the Earth's gravitational field have been examined. The Dirac equation generalized to include the general relativity suggests the magnetic moment of fermions measured on the ground level is influenced by the Earth's gravitational field as $μ_{\rm m}^{\rm eff} \!\simeq\! (1\!+\!3ϕ/c^2)\,μ_{\rm m}$, where $μ_{\rm m}$ is the magnetic moment in the flat spacetime and $ϕ\!=\!-{G M}/{r}$ is the Earth's gravitational potential. It implies that the muon anomalous magnetic moment measured on the Earth $a_μ\!\equiv\!{\rm g}_μ/2\!-\!1$ contains the gravitational correction of $\left\vert a_μ\right\vert\simeq 2.1\!\times\! 10^{-9}$ in addition to the quantum radiative corrections. The gravitationally induced anomaly may affect the comparison between the theoretical and experimental values recently reported: $a_{μ({\rm EXP})}-a_{μ({\rm SM})}=28.8\,\,(8.0)\times10^{-10}\,\,(3.6\,σ)$. In this paper, the comparison between the theory and the experiment is examined by considering the influence of the spacetime curvature to the measurement on the muon ${\rm g}_μ\!\!-\!2$ experiment using the storage ring on the basis of the general relativity up to the post-Newtonian order of $O(1/c^2)$.

description: The wall adhesion of 1 µm microparticles in human blood was studied in circular microchannels. The level of particle wall adhesion was measured for varying levels of shear rate and varying degrees of red blood cell aggregation, which was modulated by the addition of macromolecule dextran 500. The blood preparations were injected into PDMS microfluidic devices that were modified to have circular channels, better matching the geometry of physiological microcirculation compared to square channels or Couette flow systems. The circular walls of the microchannels were embedded with biotinylated phospholipids to which marginating microspheres coated with streptavidin bound. The particle wall adhesion was evaluated by counting the particles adhering to the channel wall after flushing the channel. Blood preparations of five dextran concentrations (including baseline case of 0%) were tested for four flow velocities, to quantify the effects of aggregation for varying shear rate. It was found that the level of particle wall adhesion was positively correlated with the level of RBC aggregation, particularly at low shear rates, when aggregation was enhanced. The particle adhesion was especially enhanceat aggregation levels in the range of physiological aggregation levels of whole blood, suggesting that RBC aggregation plays an important role in the dynamic of platelets and leukocytes in vivo.

description: A suitably organized and executed test process can contribute to the success of a product line organization. Testing is used to identify defects during construction and to assure that completed products possess the qualities specified for the products. Test-related activities are organized into a test process that is designed to take advantage of the economies of scope and scale that are present in a product line organization. These activities are sequenced and scheduled so that a test activity occurs immediately following the construction activity whose output the test is intended to validate. This report expands on the testing practice area described by Clements and Northrop. Test-related activities that can be used to form the test process for a product line organization are described. Product line organizations face unique challenges in testing. This report describes techniques and activities for meeting those challenges.

description: We present a mathematical framework based on quantum interval-valued probability measures to study the effect of experimental imperfections and finite precision measurements on defining aspects of quantum mechanics such as contextuality and the Born rule. While foundational results such as the Kochen-Specker and Gleason theorems are valid in the context of infinite precision, they fail to hold in general in a world with limited resources. Here we employ an interval-valued framework to establish bounds on the validity of those theorems in realistic experimental environments. In this way, not only can we quantify the idea of finite-precision measurement within our theory, but we can also suggest a possible resolution of the Meyer-Mermin debate on the impact of finite-precision measurement on the Kochen-Specker theorem.

description: In the current state of practice, analysis of the security attributes of software systems is typically carried out through subjective evaluations by security experts who accumulate system knowledge in bits and pieces from architectures, specifications, designs, code, and tests. In contrast, this report describes foundations for a new computational security attributes (CSA) technology. This innovative approach provides precise computational methods for defining and analyzing security attributes based solely on the data and transformations of data found within programs. CSA permits security attributes to be evaluated through automatable analysis of the functional behavior of programs. The technology can support specification of security attributes of systems before they are built; specification and evaluation of security attributes of acquired software; verification of the as-built security attributes of systems; and real-time evaluation of security attributes during system operation.

description: A través de un recorrido histórico por los antecedentes de la violencia intrafamiliar se realiza un análisis de los principales mecanismos de protección a la familia y las aristas que han surgido sobre el concepto de familia, con el fin de comprender el marco legal y jurisprudencial sobre la naturaleza de las instituciones, que han garantizado el cumplimiento de los deberes internacionales en materia de protección a las víctimas; para llegar entonces, a la aprehensión de las Comisarias de Familia que como Autoridades Administrativas cumplen funciones jurisdiccionales siendo parte del ejecutivo, lo que podría estar en contravía del 116 superior. En ese sentido, se abordan las competencias que han sido asignadas a las Comisarías de Familia en un ejercicio de derecho comparado sobre la forma en que se concibe y se trata la violencia doméstica desde las áreas del Derecho Civil, Familia, Penal, Administrativo, así como, los principales aspectos procesales y probatorios que evidencian la necesidad de que las Comisarías de Familia sean entendidos como verdaderos jueces dado que, en la práctica esta es la limitante que impide el acceso a la justicia.
description: Through a historical review of the background of domestic violence, an analysis is made of the main mechanisms for the protection of the family and the edges that have emerged on the concept of family. In order to understand the legal and jurisprudential framework on the nature of the institutions, which have ensured compliance with international duties regarding the protection of victims. To reach then, the apprehension of the Family Commissariats that as administrative authorities perform jurisdictional functions being part of the executive, which could be in contravention of the 116 superior. In this context, the competencies that have been assigned to the Family Commissariats are addressed in a comparative law exercise on the way in which domestic violence is conceived and treated from the areas of Civil, Family, Criminal and Administrative Law. As well as, the main procedural and evidentiary aspects that show the need for the Family Commissariats to be understood as true judges since, in practice, this is the limitation that prevents Access to justice.
Information Into Action? Reflecting on (Critical) Practice

description: Librarianship is a practical, efficient, and results-oriented profession. We’re about saving the time of the user, evidence-based practice, and action-oriented research. We rely heavily on metrics to demonstrate our impact—and our value. At the same time, our focus on turning “information into action” may undermine our professional values and pedagogical goals. The condensed information literacy one-shot, abbreviated how-to video, and perfunctory evaluation checklist promote surface learning and the uncritical consumption of information. The use of metrics is arguably more about making claims for the continued relevance of the library—and the librarian—than it is about facilitating student learning and retention. What other models and options exist to foster a more ethical practice and inclusive information literacy classroom? This keynote will explore the tensions between action/reflection, practice/theory in the context of the information literacy and professional practice.

description: Minor mergers are important processes contributing significantly to how galaxies evolve across the age of the Universe. Their impact on supermassive black hole growth and star formation is profound. The detailed study of dense molecular gas in galaxies provides an important test of the validity of the relation between star formation rate and HCN luminosity on different galactic scales. We use observations of HCN, HCO+1-0 and CO3-2 to study the dense gas properties in the Medusa merger. We calculate the brightness temperature ratios and use them in conjunction with a non-LTE radiative line transfer model. The HCN and HCO+1-0, and CO3-2 emission do not occupy the same structures as the less dense gas associated with the lower-J CO emission. The only emission from dense gas is detected in a 200pc region within the "Eye of the Medusa". No HCN or HCO+ is detected for the extended starburst. The CO3-2/2-1 brightness temperature ratio inside "the Eye" is ~2.5 - the highest ratio found so far. The line ratios reveal an extreme, fragmented molecular cloud population inside "the Eye" with large temperatures (>300K) and high gas densities (>10^4 cm^-3). "The Eye" is found at an interface between a large-scale minor axis inflow and the Medusa central region. The extreme conditions inside "the Eye" may be the result of the radiative and mechanical feedback from a deeply embedded, young, massive super star cluster, formed due to the gas pile-up at the intersection. Alternatively, shocks from the inflowing gas may be strong enough to shock and fragment the gas. For both scenarios, however, it appears that the HCN and HCO+ dense gas tracers are not probing star formation, but instead a post-starburst and/or shocked ISM that is too hot and fragmented to form new stars. Thus, caution is advised in linking the detection of emission from dense gas tracers to evidence of ongoing or imminent star formation.

description: The goal of acquisition planning is to create a roadmap that a program can follow to maximize its chances of successfully fielding a system that meets users' needs within cost and on schedule. Developing an acquisition strategy is a key component of acquisition planning that provides a means of addressing risks through the program structure. Programs need structured ways to reason about software risks, formulate acquisition strategies to mitigate software risk, and evaluate their current acquisition strategy in an ongoing, systematic manner. This report introduces a taxonomy of strategy drivers and strategy elements and provides a method for performing a comparative analysis of the strategy drivers and the resulting strategic choices for the elements. The primary audience for this technical report and the accompanying Excel-based tool is program managers of government acquisition programs. The main prerequisite for successfully using this information is working knowledge of government acquisition practices.

description: Numerous online review platforms have become flooded with a large number of textual reviews, allowing consumers to compare and select products based on online reviews from multiple platforms. Existing studies have found that there may be certain differences in the content focus of online reviews from different platforms and that the evaluation indicators of different platforms may be different. Ranking products by considering differences in platforms and integrating online reviews from multiple platforms is of great significance in supporting consumer purchase decisions; however, relevant studies are relatively scarce. Therefore, this study proposes a product ranking method using intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets, considering the differences in platforms. First, online reviews were preprocessed to obtain product indicator parameters on different platforms. Second, a sentiment analysis algorithm was used to determine the sentiment strengths of the indicator parameters. Subsequently, an intuitionistic fuzzy soft set for each platform concerning the indicator parameters was constructed. Furthermore, a comprehensive intuitionistic fuzzy soft set was obtained by the AND operation, and the ranking of the products was determined. Finally, a case study was conducted to illustrate the use of the proposed method. Through a comparative analysis, the characteristics and advantages of the proposed method were further illustrated.

Contrarotating wind turbine

description: Responding to more demand in coming years, the task of the small wind energy industry requires progress on several fronts—the public policy initiatives, technology development, and market growth. One important issue of the wind energy utilization is the conversion efficiency of the usable energy into productive power. Enhanced technologies such as contrarotating blades, gearbox and lubrication, airfoils, generators, and power electronics will lower cost and increase energy production. The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to reinforce the effectiveness of employing contrarotating system to enhance the performance of a small wind energy converter (SWEC). With this concept, the SWEC works more efficiently and therefore produces more energy in a unit turbine area. To verify the SWEC performance, a research model has been built and tested over a range of operating conditions. Wind tunnel tests were carried out to ascertain the overall performance of the contrarotating SWEC. Results are presented for cases of different wind speeds and Reynolds number. The results demonstrated a significant increase in wind energy conversion efficiency and capability of operation at lower wind speeds while keeping up performance compared to a single-rotor system of the same type.
Can an unbroken flavour symmetry provide an approximate description of lepton masses and mixing?

description: We provide a complete answer to the following question: what are the flavour groups and representations providing, in the symmetric limit, an approximate description of lepton masses and mixings? We assume that neutrinos masses are described by the Weinberg operator. We show that the pattern of lepton masses and mixings only depends on the dimension, type (real, pseudoreal, complex), and equivalence of the irreducible components of the flavour representation, and we find only six viable cases. In all cases the neutrinos are either anarchical or have an inverted hierarchical spectrum. In the context of SU(5) unification, only the anarchical option is allowed. Therefore, if the hint of a normal hierarchical spectrum were confirmed, we would conclude (under the above assumption) that symmetry breaking effects must play a primary role in the understanding of neutrino flavour observables. In order to obtain the above results, we develop a simple algorithm to determine the form of the lepton masses and mixings directly from the structure of the decomposition of the flavour representation in irreducible components, without the need to specify the form of the lepton mass matrices.
