A study of the impact of a resident teacher education program on teaching self-efficacy, beliefs about teaching, and self-reported teaching behaviours
Creators: name: Arseneau, Richard R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Despite the fact that few residents have any specific training in teaching skills, the majority of them have significant teaching responsibilities throughout their residencies. Although residents have a positive attitude towards teaching, and look forward to their teaching role, a number of observational studies have found that few residents exhibit teaching skills conducive to learning. This research study reports the development, implementation, and evaluation of a resident Teacher Education Program (TEP), and examines its impact on internal medicine residents, more specifically, on residents’ (1) sense of teaching self-efficacy, (2) self reported teaching behaviours, (3) beliefs about teaching, and (4) interest in teaching. A quasi-experimental design was used and assignment of subjects (i.e., residents) was based on the existing Clinical Teaching Unit (CTU) rotation schedule. Theoretical guidelines for program development were based on several perspectives of adult education, and psychology. Most importantly, teaching self-efficacy was used as a motivational paradigm (Ashton, 1984), and was used as the main outcomes measure. The treatment group (n= 11) attended weekly one hour seminars longitudinally over the course of their CTU rotation (for a total of six sessions). The program was run a total of three times over the course of three rotations. General internal medicine residents had a positive outcome expectancy for teaching (i.e., teaching efficacy subscale). However, their efficacy beliefs concerning their own abilities as teachers was not rated as highly (self-efficacy subscale). Overall, residents had a positive attitude towards teaching. The resident TEP had no effect on residents’ teaching efficacy beliefs which were already positive. It did, however, have a statistically significant effect on their teaching self-efficacy scores which was twice that seen in the control group (0.4 vs. 0.2). A significant pre- and- post difference was found for 5 of 15 questions on beliefs about teaching (vs. 1 of 15 for the control group), and for 2 of 4 questions on interest in teaching (vs. 0 for control group). Residents participating in the TEP had a large and statistically significant improvement in self-reported teaching behaviours scores (vs. no difference in control group). A correlation coefficient of 0.21 was found for the associated changes between teaching efficacy and self-reported teaching behaviours. A correlation coefficient of 0.66 was found for the associated changes between teaching self-efficacy and self-reported teaching behaviours.

description: In this paper we discuss classical and quantum aspects of cosmological models in Brans-Dicke theory. First, we review cosmological bounce solution in Brans-Dicke theory that obeys energy conditions (without ghost) for a universe filled with radiative fluid. Then we quantize this classical model in a canonical way, establishing the corresponding Wheeler-DeWitt equation in the minisuperspace, and analyze the quantum solutions. When the energy conditions are violated, corresponding to the case $ω -3/2$ we cannot compute the evolution of the scale factor by evaluating the expectation values because the wave function is not finite (energy spectrum is not bounded from below). But we can analyze this case using Bohmian mechanics and the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics. Using this approach, the classical and quantum results can be compared for any value of $ω$.

description: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are employed in an increasing number of applications, some of which are safety critical. Unfortunately, DNNs are known to be vulnerable to so-called adversarial attacks that manipulate inputs to cause incorrect results that can be beneficial to an attacker or damaging to the victim. Multiple defenses have been proposed to increase the robustness of DNNs. In general, these defenses have high overhead, some require attack-specific re-training of the model or careful tuning to adapt to different attacks. This paper presents HASI, a hardware-accelerated defense that uses a process we call stochastic inference to detect adversarial inputs. We show that by carefully injecting noise into the model at inference time, we can differentiate adversarial inputs from benign ones. HASI uses the output distribution characteristics of noisy inference compared to a non-noisy reference to detect adversarial inputs. We show an adversarial detection rate of 86% when applied to VGG16 and 93% when applied to ResNet50, which exceeds the detection rate of the state of the art approaches, with a much lower overhead. We demonstrate two software/hardware-accelerated co-designs, which reduces the performance impact of stochastic inference to 1.58X-2X relative to the unprotected baseline, compared to 15X-20X overhead for a software-only GPU implementation.
Anelastic and Compressible Simulations of Stellar Oxygen Burning

description: In this paper we compare fully compressible (Meakin & Arnett 2006a,b) and anelastic (Kuhlen, Woosley, & Glatzmaier 2003) simulations of stellar oxygen shell burning. It is found that the two models are in agreement in terms of the velocity scale (v_c ~ 1e7 cm/s) and thermodynamic fluctuation amplitudes (e.g., rho'/ ~ 2e-3) in the convective flow. Large fluctuations (~11%) arise in the compressible model, localized to the convective boundaries, and are due to internal waves excited in stable layers. Fluctuations on the several percent level are also present in the compressible model due to composition inhomogeneities from ongoing entrainment events at the convective boundaries. Comparable fluctuations (with amplitudes greater than ~1%) are absent in the anelastic simulation because they are due to physics not included in that model. We derive an analytic estimate for the expected density fluctuation amplitudes at convective boundaries by assuming that the pressure fluctuations due to internal waves at the boundary, p_w', balance the ram pressure of the convective motions, rho*v_c2. The predicted amplitudes agree well with the simulation data. The good agreement between the anelastic and the compressible solution within the convection zone and the agreement between the stable layer dynamics and analytic solutions to the non-radial wave equation indicate that the compressible hydrodynamic techniques used are robust for the simulated stellar convection model, even at the low Mach n umbers found M~0.01.

description: We review recent investigations of the femtosecond non-linear optical response of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a strong magnetic field. We probe the Quantum Hall (QH) regime for filling factors $ν\sim 1$. Our focus is on the transient coherence induced via optical excitation and on its time evolution during early femtosecond timescales. We simultaneously study the interband and intraband coherence in this system by using a nonlinear spectroscopic technique, transient three-pulse four wave mixing optical spectroscopy, and a many-body theory. We observe striking differences in the temporal and spectral profile of the nonlinear optical signal between a modulation doped quantum well system (with the 2DEG) and a similar undoped quantum well (without a 2DEG). We attribute these qualitative differences to Coulomb correlations between the photoexcited electron-hole pairs and the 2DEG. We show, in particular, that intraband many-particle coherences assisted by the inter-Landau-level magnetoplasmon excitations of the 2DEG dominate the femtosecond nonlinear optical responce. The most striking effect of these exciton-magnetoplasmon coherences is a large off-resonant four-wave-mixing signal in the case of very low photoexcited carrier densities, not observed in the undoped system, with strong temporal oscillations and unusually symmetric temporal profile.

description: With the popularity of online access in virtual reality (VR) devices, it will become important to investigate exclusive and interactive CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) designs for VR devices. In this paper, we first present four traditional two-dimensional (2D) CAPTCHAs (i.e., text-based, image-rotated, image-puzzled, and image-selected CAPTCHAs) in VR. Then, based on the three-dimensional (3D) interaction characteristics of VR devices, we propose two vrCAPTCHA design prototypes (i.e., task-driven and bodily motion-based CAPTCHAs). We conducted a user study with six participants for exploring the feasibility of our two vrCAPTCHAs and traditional CAPTCHAs in VR. We believe that our two vrCAPTCHAs can be an inspiration for the further design of CAPTCHAs in VR.

Characterising promoter heterogeneity for the production of novel wound healing proteins in S. cerevisiae
Creators: name: Patel, Davina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: In the last decade, we have seen a boom in the use of genetic modification toolkits for microorganisms, allowing us to expedite the manufacturing process for high-value products. Although toolkits are fast and easy to use, cell-to-cell heterogeneity, between cells of the same population, means that there is competition for resources between high and low-producers, so yield decreases. As a result, strains should be constructed in a way that reduces the formation of unwanted subpopulations. In this thesis, I provide an extensive characterisation of promoter heterogeneity in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Toolkit and identified which promoters lead to the formation of subpopulations. I explore the effects of cell cycle arrest on subpopulation dynamics and demonstrate that heterogeneous promoters are detrimental for bioproduction during metabolic engineering. I then apply this knowledge to generate strains producing novel wound healing proteins to treat chronic wounds and test their effectiveness in vitro. In the process, I discover new secretion signals which can be applied for downstream bioprocessing in industrial settings. Altogether, the promoter characterisations and explorations of novel secretion signals presented here lay the groundwork for boosting the production of high-value metabolites and therapeutic proteins in yeast.
The integration of art and language arts in the intermediate grades: two case studies
Creators: name: Parker, T. Jeanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study is comprised of two case studies that examine two intermediate—grade teachers’ beliefs about knowledge and the place of art and language arts in their beliefs about knowledge, the teacher’s role and the students’ role in knowledge acquisition, and the relationship of these beliefs to the integration of art and language in their classrooms. To this end, data was collected from interviews, curriculum documents, and observations in the classrooms of the two teachers over one integrated unit of work of approximately eight weeks duration. The findings of this study suggest that the way in which these teachers defined art and language arts within their beliefs about knowledge had a great effect on what and how they integrated art and language arts. Particularly influential were the ways in which each of these teachers perceived linguistic and visual thinking in their own learning. These beliefs of knowledge were also integrated with their beliefs about their role as a teacher and the students roles as learners. Important to the definition of roles was whether or not knowledge was perceived as internal or external to the learners. Roles defined around external knowledge excluded the students’ personal and idiosyncratic ways of knowing, thus disallowing much potential for integrated arts and language arts activities. Roles defined around an idiosyncratic perception of knowledge allowed for child—centered integrations to take place, thus redistributing the power over knowledge toward a more equitable state.

description: In 1964 Erdős proved that $(1+\oh{1})) \frac{\eul \ln(2)}{4} k^2 2^{k}$ edges are sufficient to build a $k$-graph which is not two colorable. To this day, it is not known whether there exist such $k$-graphs with smaller number of edges. Erdős' bound is consequence of the fact that a hypergraph with $k^2/2$ vertices and $M(k)=(1+\oh{1}) \frac{\eul \ln(2)}{4} k^2 2^{k}$ randomly chosen edges of size $k$ is asymptotically almost surely not two colorable. Our first main result implies that for any $\varepsilon > 0$, any $k$-graph with $(1-\varepsilon) M(k)$ randomly and uniformly chosen edges is a.a.s. two colorable. The presented proof is an adaptation of the second moment method analogous to the developments of Achlioptas and Moore from 2002 who considered the problem with fixed size of edges and number of vertices tending to infinity. In the second part of the paper we consider the problem of algorithmic coloring of random $k$-graphs. We show that quite simple, and somewhat greedy procedure, a.a.s. finds a proper two coloring for random $k$-graphs on $k^2/2$ vertices, with at most $\Oh{k\ln k\cdot 2^k}$ edges. That is of the same asymptotic order as the analogue of the \emph{algorithmic barrier} defined by Achlioptas and Coja-Oghlan in 2008, for the case of fixed $k$.

description: Type Ia supernovae, the thermonuclear explosions of white dwarf stars composed of carbon and oxygen, were instrumental as distance indicators in establishing the acceleration of the universe's expansion. However, the physics of the explosion are debated. Here we report a systematic spectral analysis of a large sample of well observed type Ia supernovae. Mapping the velocity distribution of the main products of nuclear burning, we constrain theoretical scenarios. We find that all supernovae have low-velocity cores of stable iron-group elements. Outside this core, nickel-56 dominates the supernova ejecta. The outer extent of the iron-group material depends on the amount of nickel-56 and coincides with the inner extent of silicon, the principal product of incomplete burning. The outer extent of the bulk of silicon is similar in all SNe, having an expansion velocity of ~11000 km/s and corresponding to a mass of slightly over one solar mass. This indicates that all the supernovae considered here burned similar masses, and suggests that their progenitors had the same mass. Synthetic light curve parameters and three-dimensional explosion simulations support this interpretation. A single explosion scenario, possibly a delayed detonation, may thus explain most type Ia supernovae.

Στο πρώτο μέρος της εργασίας δίνεται μια αρκετά σύντομη περιγραφή της περιόδου της Κατοχής και της Αντίστασης και στη συνέχεια γίνεται μια ενδελεχής ανασύνθεση των γεγονότων από την απελευθέρωση των Τρικάλων ως τις εκλογές του 1946, ενώ το δεύτερο μέρος πραγματεύεται την πορεία προς την ένοπλη σύγκρουση του Εμφυλίου πολέμου, αλλά και την ίδια τη σύγκρουση και τα επιφαινόμενα που αυτή δημιούργησε όσο εξελισσόταν. Τα γεγονότα που συνέβησαν σε τοπικό επίπεδο εντάχθηκαν στο ευρύτερο ιστορικό πλαίσιο της περιόδου, ενώ επιχειρήθηκαν συγκρίσεις και με την κατάσταση που επικρατούσε συνολικότερα στη Θεσσαλία την ίδια περίοδο. Πέρα από μια γεγονοτολογική αφήγηση της περιόδου 1944-1949 επιχειρήθηκε να απαντηθούν τα εξής ερευνητικά ερωτήματα: α) ο τρόπος μετάβασης του τοπικού κρατικού μηχανισμού από την κυριαρχία του ΕΑΜ σ’ αυτή των εθνικοφρόνων β) οι πρακτικές των εθνικοφρόνων για τη μείωση της απήχησης της Αριστεράς στον τοπικό πληθυσμό και η στάση της τελευταίας γ) οι πολιτικοί συσχετισμοί μετά τις εκλογές του 1946 δ) οι πολιτικές επιλογές όξυνσης της κρίσης και μετατροπής της σε στρατιωτική σύγκρουση και ε) οι επιπτώσεις του Εμφυλίου πολέμου στην τοπική κοινωνία
description: The present dissertation attempts to introduce and examine the phenomenon of the Civil war in the prefecture of Trikala, starting from the liberation of it, in the October of 1944, until the end of 1949. In the first part of the dissertation a quite short description is given about the period of Occupation and Resistance, which follows a thorough reformulation of the affairs from the liberation of Trikala to the elections of 1946. The second part discusses the course towards the armed conflict of the Civil war, the conflict itself and also the epiphenomena that were produced as it was evolving. The events that unfolded in regional level are incorporated in the wider historical context of the period, while attempts were made for comparisons with the existing situation in Thessaly at the same time. Besides a narration of facts of the period 1944-1949, an attempt was made to provide answers at the following researching questions: a) the way of transition of the regional state mechanism from the domination of EAM in that of the nationalists b) the methods of the nationalists for decreasing the effect of the Left among the local population and the position of the Left c) the political associations after the elections of 1946 d) the political options of intensification of the crisis and the transformation of it into a military conflict and e) the ramifications of the Civil war in the local society

description: Supervised deep learning has achieved remarkable success in various applications. Successful machine learning application however depends on the availability of sufficiently large amount of data. In the absence of data from the target domain, representative data collection from multiple sources is often needed. However, a model trained on existing multi-source data might generalize poorly on the unseen target domain. This problem is referred to as domain shift. In this paper, we explore the suitability of multi-source training data selection to tackle the domain shift challenge in the context of domain generalization. We also propose a microservice-oriented methodology for supporting this solution. We perform our experimental study on the use case of building energy consumption prediction. Experimental results suggest that minimal building description is capable of improving cross-building generalization performances when used to select energy consumption data.

In principle, this reduces the problem of deriving vacuum metrics with two commuting Killing vectors to pure algebra. In this short note, we use these facts to give a purely algebraic derivation of the Einstein-Rosen metric, which describes a cylindrical gravitational wave. Our derivation has a straightforward extension to gravitational pulse waves.

description: The aim of the present thesis is tο explore the Sublime in certain works of William Wordsworth and Dionysios Solomos. I study the relation of the aesthetic Sublime to the I and nature and endeavor to connect it with the external stimuli which constitute the terrible Sublime. Thus, Ι demonstrate the interaction among the I, nature and the Sublime and, subsequently, the ways the intellect is released from pragmatic perception in order for it to capture all aspects of the individual and the cosmos, the obscure ones in particular. In addition, I discuss the religious feeling that pervades the texts and is interwoven with Sublime senses, as well as imagination, which acts as a catalyst in the processes that lead to the Sublime. Moreover, I describe dreams or/and visions as devices which serve the Sublime and contribute to its fulfillment via their various functions.

Revisiting neutron starquakes caused by spin-down

description: Pulsars show a steady decrease in their rotational frequency, occasionally interrupted by sudden spin-ups called glitches, whose physical origin is still a mystery. One suggested explanation for at least the small glitches are starquakes, that is, failures of the solid neutron star crust, in which the progressive reduction in the centrifugal force deforms the star, stressing the solid until it breaks. This produces a spin-up, dissipating energy inside the star. We analyze the deformations produced by the decreasing centrifugal force, modeling the star with a fluid core and a solid crust, each with uniform density and with the core possibly denser than the crust, as a simple approximation to the strong density gradient present in real neutron stars. The deformation is qualitatively different from the previously studied case of equal densities. The former more closely resembles the behavior of a fluid star, in which the core-crust interface is a surface of constant gravitational plus centrifugal potential. Regardless of the uncertain breaking strain, the glitch activity in this model is several orders of magnitude smaller than observed, even if only small glitches are considered. For a large breaking strain, suggested by simulations, glitches due to starquakes could be roughly of the correct size but much less frequent than observed glitches. The energy released in each glitch is much larger than in the model of angular momentum transfer from a faster rotating superfluid in the inner crust. On the other hand, we cannot rule out that the heating produced by small starquakes could trigger glitches by allowing neutron superfluid vortices to move. We also confirm that stresses in the neutron star crust can in principle support an ellipticity much larger than some observational upper limits from pulsar timing and continuous gravitational wave searches.

description: We test the spectral-energy correlation including the new bursts detected (mostly) by Swift with firm measurements of their redshifts and peak energy. The problem of identifying the jet breaks is discussed in the complex and multibreak/flaring X-ray light curves observed by Swift. We use the optical data as the most reliable source for the identification of the jet break, since the X-ray flux may be produced by a mechanism different from the external shocks between the fireball and the circumburst medium, which are responsible for the optical afterglow. We show that the presence of an underlying SN event in XRF 050416A requires a break to occur in the afterglow optical light curve at around the expected jet break time. The possible presence of a jet break in the optical light curve of GRB 050401 is also discussed. We point out that, for measuring the jet break, it is mandatory that the optical light curve extends after the epoch where the jet break is expected. The interpretation of the early optical breaks in GRB 050922C and GRB 060206 as jet breaks is controversial because they might instead correspond to the flat-to-steep decay transition common in the early X-ray light curves. All the 16 bursts coming from Swift are consistent with the E_p-E_gamma and E_p-E_iso-t_jet correlation. No outlier is found to date. Moreover, the small dispersion of these correlations, confirmed also by the Swift bursts, strengthens the case of using GRBs as standard candles.

description: We describe the crystal structure and elementary magnetic properties of a previously unreported ternary intermetallic compound, Cr4PtGa17, which crystallizes in a rhombohedral unit cell in the noncentrosymmetric space group R3m. The crystal structure is closely related to those of XYZ half-Heusler compounds, where X, Y and Z are reported to be single elements only, occupying three different face-centered cubic sublattices. The new material, Cr4PtGa17, can be most straightforwardly illustrated by writing the formula as (PtGa2)(Cr4Ga14)Ga (X=PtGa2, Y = Cr4Ga14, Z = Ga), that is, the X and Y sites are occupied by clusters instead of single elements. The magnetic Cr occupies a breathing pyrochlore lattice. Ferromagnetic ordering is found below TC ~61 K, by both neutron diffraction and magnetometer studies, with a small, saturated moment of ~0.25 muB/Cr observed at 2 K, making Cr4PtGa17 the first ferromagnetically ordered material with a breathing pyrochlore lattice. A magnetoresistance of ~140% was observed at 2 K. DFT calculations suggest that the material has a nearly-half-metallic electronic structure. The new material, Cr4PtGa17, the first realization of both a half-Heusler-type structure and a breathing pyrochlore lattice, might pave a new way to achieve novel types of half-Heusler compounds.

A survey of primary classroom teachers’ perceptions of music instruction and their own music skills
Creators: name: Murray, Sandra Akiko
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of the study was to examine primary classroom teachers’ perceptions of music education and their own music skills in the provision of music instruction for primary aged children. The objectives of the study were to determine the specific topics in music education that primary classroom teachers feel they can and cannot teach comfortably, the kind of music education resources (techniques and materials) that primary classroom teachers find useful or helpful, how primary classroom teachers perceive the importance of music in the curriculum, and how primary classroom teachers’ perceptions of music instruction are shaped by their past music experiences. The questionnaire, A Survey of Primary Classroom Teachers’ Attitudes and Music Backgrounds in Music Education, was mailed to 257 primary classroom teachers in School District #34, Abbotsford. Responses to the questionnaire were tallied, and distribution frequencies for most of the questionnaire items were displayed as graphs. Anecdotal comments were compiled and analysed for categorization. Sixty-four percent of the teachers responded to the questionnaire. The majority of the study’s participants indicated that they believe music is important for children, and that they also value music as a subject within itself. The teachers in the study said that personal past experiences in the primary grades, recordings, concert attendance, and colleagues were influential in helping to shape their perceptions of music instruction. Most of the respondents indicated that they teach music to their students, but are comfortable teaching only certain aspects of music instruction. The majority of teachers claimed that they rely on their personal music experiences as a resource for teaching music. Other highly favoured resources were in-service workshops, observation of a music specialist teaching, and music series textbooks. Teachers who had taken an undergraduate university course in music education rated the study of appropriate songs for children of different ages, the development of movement activities (singing games, dances, etc.), and the use of rhyme or chant to teach rhythm or movement activities as the more helpful course topics. The findings of the present study hold important implications in the consideration of resources, personnel, training, and curriculum development in music education.

Generation of a Bessel beam in FDTD using a cylindrical antenna

description: Bessel beams are becoming a very useful tool in many areas of optics and photonics, because of the invariance of their intensity profile over an extended propagation range. Finite-Difference-Time-Domain (FDTD) approach is widely used for the modeling of the beam interaction with nanostructures. However, the generation of the Bessel beam in this approach is a computationally challenging problem. In this work, we report an approach for the generation of the infinite Bessel beams in three-dimensional FDTD. It is based on the injection of the Bessel solutions of Maxwell's equations from a cylindrical hollow annulus. This configuration is compatible with Particle In Cell simulations of laser plasma interactions. This configuration allows using a smaller computation box and is therefore computationally more efficient than the creation of a Bessel-Gauss beam from a wall and models more precisely the analytical infinite Bessel beam. Zeroth and higher-order Bessel beams with different cone angles are successfully produced. We investigate the effects of the injector parameters on the error with respect to the analytical solution. In all cases, the relative deviation is in the range of 0.01-7.0 percent.
The dynamics of tidal tails from massive satellites

description: (Abbreviated) We investigate the dynamical mechanisms responsible for producing tidal tails from dwarf satellites using N-body simulations. We identify two important dynamical co-conspirators: 1) the points where the attractive force of the host halo and satellite are balanced do not occur at equal distances from the satellite centre or at the same equipotential value for massive satellites, breaking the morphological symmetry of the leading and trailing tails; and 2) the escaped ejecta in the leading (trailing) tail continues to be decelerated (accelerated) by the satellite's gravity leading to large offsets of the ejecta orbits from the satellite orbit. The effect of the satellite's self gravity decreases only weakly with a decreasing ratio of satellite mass to host halo mass, demonstrating the importance of these effects over a wide range of subhalo masses. Not only will the morphology of the leading and trailing tails for massive satellites be different, but the observed radial velocities of the tails will be displaced from that of the satellite orbit; both the displacement and the peak radial velocity is proportional to satellite mass. If the tails are assumed to follow the progenitor satellite orbits, the tails from satellites with masses greater than 0.0001 of the host halo virial mass in a spherical halo will appear to indicate a flattened halo. Therefore, a constraint on the Milky Way halo shape using tidal streams requires mass-dependent modelling. Similarly, we compute the the distribution of tail orbits both in E_{r}-r^{-2} space and in E-L_{z} space, advocated for identifying satellite stream relics. The acceleration of ejecta by a massive satellite during escape spreads the velocity distribution and obscures the signature of a well-defined ``moving group'' in phase space.

Early kinetic decoupling and a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone dark matter model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study the early kinetic decoupling effect in a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (pNG) dark matter (DM) model. The pNG DM scattering processes with particles in the thermal bath in the early Universe are suppressed by the small momentum transfer. As a result, kinetic equilibrium is not maintained, and the temperature of DM is different from the temperature of the thermal bath at the freeze-out era. This temperature difference affects the thermal relic abundance of DM. We investigate the early kinetic decoupling in the Higgs resonance region, 50 GeV $\lesssim m_χ\lesssim m_h/2$, where $m_χ$ is the mass of the DM, and $m_h/2 \simeq$ 62.5 GeV. We find that the DM-Higgs coupling determined to obtain the measured value of the DM energy density is underestimated in the literature. The enhancement in the coupling leads larger value of the Higgs invisible decay rate. It enlarges the capability to discover the DM signals from the decay of the Higgs bosons at collider experiments.
