Incorporating the Common Core’s Problem Solving Standard for Mathematical Practice into an Early Elementary Inclusive Classroom
Creators: name: Fletcher, Nicole
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2014

description: Mathematics curriculum designers and policy decision makers are beginning to recognize the importance of problem solving, even at the earliest stages of mathematics learning. The Common Core includes sense making and perseverance in solving problems in its standards for mathematical practice for students at all grade levels. Incorporating problem solving into inclusive classrooms, in which some students may struggle with the self-regulation skills involved in problem solving, can be challenging. This article offers several problem solving procedures, as well as examples of problem solving in the classroom, that can provide young children with learning disabilities the support they need to meaningfully engage in mathematical problem solving.

description: We report the serendipitous discovery of a ring nebula around a candidate Wolf-Rayet (WR) star, HBHA 4202-22, in Cygnus using the Spitzer Space Telescope archival data. Our spectroscopic follow-up observations confirmed the WR nature of this star (we named it WR138a) and showed that it belongs to the WN8-9h subtype. We thereby add a new example to the known sample of late WN stars with circumstellar nebulae. We analyzed the spectrum of WR138a by using the Potsdam Wolf-Rayet (PoWR) model atmospheres, obtaining a stellar temperature of 40 kK. The stellar wind composition is dominated by helium with 20 per cent of hydrogen. The stellar spectrum is highly reddened and absorbed (E_{B-V} = 2.4 mag, A_V = 7.4 mag). Adopting a stellar luminosity of log L/Lsun = 5.3, the star has a mass-loss rate of 10^{-4.7} Msun yr^{-1}, and resides in a distance of 4.2 kpc. We measured the proper motion for WR138a and found that it is a runaway star with a peculiar velocity of ~50 km/s. Implications of the runaway nature of WR138a for constraining the mass of its progenitor star and understanding the origin of its ring nebula are discussed.

The role of filamin A in modulating platelet shape change
Creators: name: Hong, Felix
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Platelets are critical mediators of hemostasis and thrombosis. Platelets circulate as discs in their resting form but change shape rapidly upon activation by vascular damage and/or soluble agonists such as thrombin. The platelets’ shape change reaction is driven by a dynamic remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. The actin filaments interact with the myosin protein, which is phosphorylated on the myosin light chain (MLC) upon platelet activation. The actin-myosin interaction triggers the contraction of the actin cytoskeleton, which drives platelet spreading and contractile force generation. Filamin A (FLNA) is an actin crosslinking protein that stabilizes the attachment between the subcortical actin filaments and the cell membrane. In addition, FLNA binds multiple proteins and serves as a critical intracellular signaling scaffold. Here, we used platelets from mice with a megakaryocyte/platelet-specific deletion of FLNA to investigate the role of FLNA in regulating the platelet shape change reaction. Relative to controls, FLNA-null platelets exhibited defective spreading, clot retraction, contraction force generation and MLC phosphorylation in response to thrombin stimulation. Blockade of Rho kinase (ROCK) and protein kinase C (PKC) with the inhibitors Y27632 and BIM also attenuated MLC phosphorylation; ROCK and PKC promote MLC phosphorylation through independent pathways. Notably, the activity of both ROCK and PKC were diminished in the FLNA-deficient platelets. We conclude that FLNA regulates thrombin-induced MLC phosphorylation and platelet contraction, in a ROCK- and PKC-dependent manner.
Onsager-Machlup action-based path sampling and its combination with replica exchange for diffusive and multiple pathways

description: For sampling multiple pathways in a rugged energy landscape, we propose a novel action-based path sampling method using the Onsager-Machlup action functional. Inspired by the Fourier-path integral simulation of a quantum mechanical system, a path in Cartesian space is transformed into that in Fourier space, and an overdamped Langevin equation is derived for the Fourier components to achieve a canonical ensemble of the path at a finite temperature. To avoid "path trapping" around an initially guessed path, the path sampling method is further combined with a powerful sampling technique, the replica exchange method. The principle and algorithm of our method is numerically demonstrated for a model two-dimensional system with a bifurcated potential landscape. The results are compared with those of conventional transition path sampling and the equilibrium theory, and the error due to path discretization is also discussed.

description: We consider the currently observed spin distributions of various types of neutron stars, including isolated and binary radio millisecond pulsars in the Galactic plane and globular cluster system as well as neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binary systems where the spin rate is known either through coherent pulsations or burst oscillations. We find that the spin distributions of isolated and binary radio millisecond pulsars are statistically different, at least for those residing in globular clusters, with the binary pulsars being on average faster spinning. This result is likely to hold despite observational biases still affecting the observed spin distribution. A possible explanation for this is that the isolated radio millisecond pulsars are on average older than those in binary systems.

description: The ability to accumulate and retrieve entanglement in the fields of two remote cavities with pairs of two-level atoms is discussed. It is shown that this transfer and retrieval can be indeed ideal with a resonant interaction. The case of initial non-maximally entangled atomic pairs is also considered. This leads to the possibility of concentrating entanglement into a single pair at the retrieval stage. A teleportation protocol based on the same setup is presented. This makes possible teleportation with built-in entanglement concentration.

description: We present the theory of a single spin meter consisting of a quantum dot in a magnetic field under microwave irradiation combined with a charge counter. We show that when a current is passed through the dot, a change in the average occupation number occurs if the microwaves are resonant with the on-dot Zeeman splitting. The width of the resonant change is given by the microwave induced Rabi frequency, making the quantum dot a sensitive probe of the local magnetic field and enabling the detection of the state of a nearby spin. If the dot-spin and the nearby spin have different g-factors a non-demolition readout of the spin state can be achieved. The conditions for a reliable spin readout are found.

description: With the adoption of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM), the process of mathematical modeling has been given increased attention in mathematics education. This article reports on a study intended to inform the implementation of modeling in classroom contexts by examining students’ interactions with the process of creating mathematical models and analyzing the types of models so generated. Results indicate students’ tendencies to oversimplify or overcomplicate the modeling process. Implications of the study are discussed, especially for understanding which aspects of the modeling cycle might be most helpful for teachers to focus on in order to develop students’ modeling abilities.

description: Using the covariant formalism, we derive the equations of motion for adiabatic and entropy perturbations at third order in perturbation theory for cosmological models involving two scalar fields. We use these equations to calculate the trispectrum of ekpyrotic and cyclic models in which the density perturbations are generated via the entropic mechanism. In these models, the conversion of entropy into curvature perturbations occurs just before the big bang, either during the ekpyrotic phase or during the subsequent kinetic energy dominated phase. In both cases, we find that the non-linearity parameters f_{NL} and g_{NL} combine to leave a very distinct observational imprint.

Synchronization of extended systems from internal coherence
Creators: name: Duane, Gregory S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A condition for the synchronizability of a pair of PDE systems, coupled through a finite set of variables, is commonly the existence of internal synchronization or internal coherence in each system separately. The condition was previously illustrated in a forced-dissipative system, and is here extended to Hamiltonian systems, using an example from particle physics. Full synchronization is precluded by Liouville's theorem. A form of synchronization weaker than "measure synchronization" is manifest as the positional coincidence of coherent oscillations ("breathers" or "oscillons") in a pair of coupled scalar field models in an expanding universe with a nonlinear potential, and does not occur with a variant of the model that does not exhibit oscillons.
description: version accepted for publication in PRE (paragraph beginning at the bottom of pg. 5 has been rewritten to suggest unifying principle for synchronizability, applying to both forced-dissipative and Hamiltonian systems; other minor changes)

Publisher: name: GNS Science

description: This study aims to holistically describe the flow sources, pathways and lag times of water through the rivers and aquifers of the West Coast catchments. This information is required to ground truth and improve groundwater flow models and management tools. Such improvements will help to prevent degradation of rivers and aquifers from land-use activities that impact on cultural, recreational and economical values, as well as on drinking water supplies and quality. This study is mainly funded through the MBIE Endeavour programme ‘Te Whakaheke o Te Wai’ and complemented by the MBIE Envirolink fund (C05X2005). Groundwater chemistry and age tracer data were assembled from a range of sources: (i) GNS’s national datasets (National Groundwater Monitoring Programme, National Tracer Survey), (ii) regional datasets (State Of the Environment monitoring and specific site investigations), (iii) existing data from the Water Dating laboratory and (iv) water samples collected in March 2020 as part of this study. The aggregated dataset consists of 100 sites (including 97 bores, two springs and one river) and spans the period November 1998 to March 2020. The environmental tracer data (age, isotopes, temperature, gas concentration and chemistry) was combined and interpreted using graphical analysis (e.g. Piper diagram) spatial analysis and multivariate statistics. These analyses inform characterisation of groundwater flow and hydrochemical processes in the West Coast aquifers. Short (less than 10 years) residence times are typical for groundwater resources in the region. Three geographically distinct hydrochemical signatures are consistent with topography and geological distinct areas: pristine, alpine foothills (cluster A); impacted coastal or fluvial (clusters B1 and B2) areas; and a dilute valley with indication of land-use impact (clusters C1, C2 and C3). West Coast rivers and streams are hydraulically well connected to adjacent Holocene gravel aquifers. These aquifers are mostly oxic in nature. There is does not appear to be a relationship between well depth and groundwater age, indicating absence of confined or disconnected groundwater condition throughout large parts of the region’s aquifers. In the Grey Valley, groundwaters have tracer signatures indicative of recharge from local rain and rivers. This area has the largest groundwater demand and abstraction for the region (Mourot and White 2020). Time series groundwater age data for the valley was not sensitive enough to identify impact of abstraction on groundwater circulation from increased abstraction between 2012 and 2017 (WCRC 2014). It is expected that significant change in water allocation may be rapidly reflected in future water age monitoring data due to the short residence time of water in this system (auth)

Fractions, Decimals, and the Common Core
Creators: name: Kreith, Kurt

Year: 2014

description: At grade 7, Common Core’s content standards call for the use of long division to find the decimal representation of a rational number. With an eye to reconciling this requirement with Common Core’s call for “a balanced combination of procedure and understanding,” a more transparent form of long division is developed. This leads to the formulation of long division as a “recursive relation” and to more incisive insights into fractions and decimals than are typically developed as part of the school curriculum. The role of technology and some modern applications are explored.

My Entirely Plausible Fantasy: Early Mathematics Education in the Age of the Touchscreen Computer
Creators: name: Ginsburg, Herbert P.
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2014

description: This paper offers an account of what early mathematics education could look like in an age of young digital natives. Each “Tubby,” as the tablets are called, presents Nicole (our generic little child) with stimulating mathematics microworlds, from which, beginning at age 3, she can learn basic math concepts, as well as methods of calculation and number facts. Tubby presents Nicole with mathematics story books, which both she and her adult readers will enjoy. Tubby also offers guidance to parents and teachers on how to promote Nicole’s math learning. On entrance to school, Nicole, along with her peers, experience an organized curriculum that includes real world activities, mathematics microworlds, interactive storybooks, and a textbook, all residing in peace and harmony within Tubby. Tubby has enough energy to help Ben, Nicole’s teacher, to engage in multimedia pedagogy. Finally, Tubby conducts stealth assessment that provides Ben with actionable information on how to tailor his teaching to individual students and also eliminates the need for standardized achievement tests. The virtual world I have described is an attainable fantasy. But the real world stands in the way of the virtual. Without massive investments in professional development and teacher pay, and without a commitment to guarantee high quality education for all children, Tubby will dissolve into virtual nothingness.

The gluon propagator is found to be antiscreened in the superfluid, confined phase and screened in the large-mu, deconfined phase. We present the first attempt to determine corresponding electric and magnetic gluon masses. The quark propagator undergoes dramatic modifications in the superfluid region as a result of the formation of a superfluid gap. These modifications include the appearance of zero crossings in the vector part of the (normal) quark propagator, a large suppression of the scalar part, and the emergence of anomalous propagation.

Detection and imaging in a random medium: A matrix method to overcome multiple scattering and aberration
Creators: name: Aubry, Alexandre
name: Derode, Arnaud
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present an imaging technique particularly suited to the detection of a target embedded in a strongly scattering medium. Classical imaging techniques based on the Born approximation fail in this kind of configuration because of multiply scattered echoes and aberration distortions. The experimental set up we consider uses an array of programmable transmitters/receivers. A target is placed behind a scattering medium. The impulse responses between all array elements are measured and form a matrix. The core of the method is to separate the single-scattered echo of the target from the multiple scattering background. This is possible because of a deterministic coherence along the antidiagonals of the array response matrix, which is typical of single scattering. Once this operation is performed, target detection is achieved by applying the DORT method (French acronym for decomposition of the time reversal operator). Experimental results are presented in the case of wide-band ultrasonic waves around 3 MHz. A 125-element array is placed in front of a collection of randomly distributed steel rods (diameter 0.8mm). The slab thickness is three times the scattering mean free path. The target is a larger steel cylinder (diameter 15 mm) that we try to detect and localize. The quality of detection is assessed theoretically based on random matrix theory and is shown to be significantly better than what is obtained with classical imaging methods. Aside from multiple scattering, the technique is also shown to reduce the aberrations induced by an heterogeneous layer.

description: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the variation in the line width with height in the inner corona (region above 1.1 Rsun), by using the spectral data from LASCO-C1 aboard SOHO. We used data acquired at activity minimum (August - October 1996) and during the ascending phase of the solar cycle (March 1998). Series of images acquired at different wavelengths across the Fe X 637.6 nm (red) and Fe XIV 530.3 nm (green) coronal lines by LASCO-C1 allowed us to build radiance and width maps of the off-limb solar corona. In 1996, the line width of Fe XIV was roughly constant or increased with height up to around 1.3 Rsun and then it decreased. The Fe X line width increased with height up to the point where the spectra were too noisy to allow line width measurements (around 1.3 Rsun). Fe X showed higher effective temperatures as compared with Fe XIV. In 1998 the line width of Fe XIV was roughly constant with height above the limb (no Fe X data available).

description: With the Keck Interferometer, we have studied at 2 um the innermost regions of several nearby, young, dust depleted "transitional" disks. Our observations target five of the six clearest cases of transitional disks in the Taurus/Auriga star-forming region (DM Tau, GM Aur, LkCa 15, UX Tau A, and RY Tau) to explore the possibility that the depletion of optically thick dust from the inner disks is caused by stellar companions rather than the more typical planet-formation hypothesis. At the 99.7% confidence level, the observed visibilities exclude binaries with flux ratios of at least 0.05 and separations ranging from 2.5 to 30 mas (0.35 - 4 AU) over >= 94% of the area covered by our measurements. All targets but DM Tau show near-infrared excess in their SED higher than our companion flux ratio detection limits. While a companion has previously been detected in the candidate transitional disk system CoKu Tau/4, we can exclude similar mass companions as the typical origin for the clearing of inner dust in transitional disks and of the near-infrared excess emission. Unlike CoKu Tau/4, all our targets show some evidence of accretion. We find that all but one of the targets are clearly spatially resolved, and UX Tau A is marginally resolved. Our data is consistent with hot material on small scales (0.1 AU) inside of and separated from the cooler outer disk, consistent with the recent SED modeling. These observations support the notion that some transitional disks have radial gaps in their optically thick material, which could be an indication for planet formation in the habitable zone (~ a few AU) of a protoplanetary disk.

description: The feasibility of measuring high-order current correlators by means of a linear detector is analyzed. Two different types of measurements are considered: measurement of fluctuation power spectrum and measurement of unequal-time current correlators at fixed points in time. In both cases, formally exact expressions in terms of Keldysh time-ordered electron current operators are derived for the detector output. An explicit time ordering is found for the current correlators under the expectation operator used in measurements of high order unequal-time current correlators. The situation when a detector measures current correlators at different points of a conductor is considered.

A biochemical and microscopic analysis of adhesion in the kelp Alaria marginata
Creators: name: Musor, Maisie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Adhesion is a critical first step in the successful recruitment of seaweeds. Kelp (Laminariales) sporophytes secrete adhesives from specialized rhizoid cells to anchor themselves to the substrate and withstand immense forces applied by waves. The composition of macroalgal adhesive has primarily been described in the Fucales as a “modified extension of the cell wall”, but the extent to which kelp adhesives are compositionally similar to fucoids is unknown. Moreover, the cellular organization of the attachment interface of kelps is poorly understood. To address this, rhizoid cells and adhesive from developing Alaria marginata sporophytes were examined with brightfield, fluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy to describe the organization of the attachment interface and biochemical composition of adhesives and walls in developing holdfasts. The primary holdfast is composed of elongated, thick-walled cortical cells and a meristoderm layer. New rhizoids appear to differentiate from meristoderm cells by modification of the meristoderm outer wall and elongation by tip growth. Rhizoid cells contain small spherical plastids distributed evenly along the length of the cell. Physodes are found along their length and phenolics localize in rhizoid walls. The highest resolution chemical analysis of kelp adhesives to date was provided by confocal microscopy, demonstrating adhesives are composed of fucose containing sulfated polysaccharides (FCSPs), alginate, and phlorotannins and dominated by BAM3 and BAM4 epitopes, not alginates as expected. Adhesives are biochemical extensions of the cell wall with distinct but variable stoichiometries, suggesting adhesives are more complex and dynamic than expected. Chemical analysis demonstrated that adhesives are likely underestimated in their complexity and identified weak points in our current understanding of kelp adhesives, for example calling into question the roles of phenolics and proteins. Finally, these results provide a baseline understanding of adhesive composition in kelps and establish biochemical methods to allow further examination of the developmental, ecological, and evolutionary dynamics of adhesion.

description: The West African country of Guinea is home to a population of roughly 11.5 million (United Nations Statistics Division) people. Guinea's capital and largest city, Conakry, has a population close to 1.8 million (United Nations Statistics Division). Donka National Hospital (see Figure 1), the largest hospital in Guinea, located in its capital, Conakry, is one of two hospitals that has a neurological surgery department. Donka National Hospital serves as the primary teaching hospital for medical students, interns, and subspecialties trainees in Guinea. A discussion of the history, current state, and gaps in neurosurgical care is presented. Information was gathered during an in-person visit to and subsequent communications with personnel Conakry, Guinea, in September and October of 2014, during the largest outbreak of Ebola virus disease to date.
Tasks to Advance the Learning of Mathematics
Creators: name: Greenes, Carole
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2014

description: Tasks to Advance the Learning of Mathematics (TALMs) were developed to stimulate grades 5 – 8 students’ curiosity about complex mathematical relationships, inspire them to reason abstractly and quantitatively, encourage them to consider and create alternative solution approaches, develop their skills to persuade others about the viability of one solution approach over others, and enhance their perseverance toward problem solutions. Tasks are of nine types: Connect Calculation to Context, Rank Order Solutions, Identify What’s Wrong If Anything, Defend an Opinion, Work Backwards, Predict and Explain, Think and Choose, Place Them Right, and Make Sense of a Situation. All tasks require application of concepts and skills from one or more domains of mathematics. As students solve these problems, they quickly identify what they know and what they are not sure about; that is, they assess their own degrees of understanding and learn at point of need. The article concludes with recommendations for implementing TALMs and an invitation for students and teachers to create their own.

description: The temperature dependence of the $ab$-plane optical reflectivity of Ba(Fe$_{0.92}$Co$_{0.08})_2$As$_{2}$ and Ba(Fe$_{0.95}$Ni$_{0.05})_2$As$_{2}$ single crystals is measured in a wide spectral range. Upon entering the superconducting regime, the reflectivity in both compounds increases considerably at low frequency, leading to a clear gap in the optical conductivity below 100 cm$^{-1}$. From the analysis of the complex conductivity spectra we obtain the penetration depth $λ(T)=(3500\pm 350)$ Åfor Ba(Fe$_{0.92}$Co$_{0.08})_2$As$_{2}$ and $(3000\pm 300)$ Åfor Ba(Fe$_{0.95}$Ni$_{0.05})_2$As$_{2}$. The calculated superfluid density $ρ_s$ of both compounds nicely fits the scaling relation $ρ_s=(125\pm 25)σ_{dc}T_c$.

description: Photoluminescence of a single CdSe quantum dot embedded in a ZnSe nanowire has been investigated. It has been found that the dark exciton has a strong influence on the optical properties. The most visible influence is the strongly reduced excitonic emission compared to the biexcitonic one. Temperature dependent lifetime measurements have allowed us to measure a large splitting of $ΔE = 6 $ meV between the dark and the bright exciton as well as the spin flip rates between these two states.

Hydrodynamic Irreversibility in Particle Suspensions with Non-Uniform Strain

description: A dynamical phase transition from reversible to irreversible behavior occurs when particle suspensions are subjected to uniform oscillatory shear, even in the Stokes flow limit. We consider a more general situation with non-uniform strain (e.g. oscillatory channel flow), which is observed to exhibit markedly different dynamics. Self-organization and shear-induced migration only partially explain the delayed, simultaneous onset of irreversibility across the channel. The onset of irreversibility is accompanied by long-range correlated particle motion. This motion leads to particle activity even at the channel center, where the strain is negligible, and prevents the system from evolving into a reversible state.
