description: In this work, we aim to show the possibilities of the variable speed of light (VSL) theory in explaining the type Ia supernovae observations without introducing dark energy. The speed of light is assumed to be scale factor dependent, which is the most popular assumption in VSL theory. We show the modified calculation of the distance modulus, and the validity of the redshift-scale factor relation in VSL theory. Three different models of VSL are tested SNe data-sets with proper constraints on the model parameters. The comparison of the three models and flat $Λ$CDM in distance modulus is showed. Some basic problems and the difficulties of the confirmation of the VSL theory are also discussed

description: Winking (oscillating) filaments have been observed for many years. However, observations of successive winking filaments in one event have not been reported yet. In this paper, we present the observations of a chain of winking filaments and a subsequent jet that are observed right after the X2.1 are in AR11283. The event also produced an Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) wave that has two components: upward dome-like wave (850 km/s) and lateral surface wave (554 km/s) which was very weak (or invisible) in imaging observations. By analyzing the temporal and spatial relationships between the oscillating filaments and the EUV waves, we propose that all the winking filaments and the jet were triggered by the weak (or invisible) lateral surface EUV wave. The oscillation of the filaments last for two or three cycles, and their periods, Doppler velocity amplitudes, and damping times are 11 - 22 minutes, 6 - 14 km/s, and 25 - 60 minutes, respectively. We further estimate the radial component magnetic field and the maximum kinetic energy of the filaments, and they are 5 - 10 Gauss and ~ 10^19 J, respectively. The estimated maximum kinetic energy is comparable to the minimum energy of ordinary EUV waves, suggesting that EUV waves can efficiently launch filament oscillations on their path. Based on our analysis results, we conclude that the EUV wave is a good agent for triggering and connecting successive but separated solar activities in the solar atmosphere, and it is also important for producing solar sympathetic eruptions.

description: We present four new complete mitochondrial genomes for Dasypoda hirtipes, Melitta schultzei, Capicola nanula and Samba griseonigra belonging to the basally branching bee family Melittidae covering four genera in three tribes (Melittini, Hesperaspini, Dasypodaini) and two subfamilies (Melittinae, Dasypodainae). The mitogenomes vary between 15,884 and 20,324 bp in length and consist of the typical set of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs and the control region. These new mitogenomes raise the number of available mitochondrial genomes for the family Melittidae to five and will help to shed light on the phylogenetic relationships within Melittidae and their position within the Anthophila.

In this third part of the series, we show the correspondence among the metric properties `geometric property (T),' `cohomological property (T),' and the group property `Kazhdan's property (T).' Geometric property (T) of Willett--Yu is stronger than being expander graphs. Cohomological property (T) is stronger than geometric property (T) for general coarse spaces.

description: The performance of the hog industry under the existing vertical coordination structure is projected from 1973 through 1985. Then, seven alternative situations for the coordination of hog production are introduced into the model, and these results are simulated over the same projection period. The alternatives simulated are: (1) increased output through addition of several "hog factories", (2) production contracts, (3) a shift in industry structure to large production units, (4) the addition of a price incentive to large production units, (5) stop-loss contracts, (6) pricing on the basis of pork values, (7) and a marketing contract for quality production with an appropriate market incentive. The 13-year base-line projection traces out one minor and two major production cycles. Pork production per capita averages near current levels--66 pounds over the 13-year period. None of the simulated forms of alternative coordination schemes alters the three cycles projected. However, with the exception of the addition of hog factories, all of the alternatives tend to restrict output with higher prices. With restricted output, geographic concentration of production would usually increase and relatively more production would occur in the established corn-hog areas

description: Understanding a material's electronic structure is crucial to the development of many functional devices from semiconductors to solar cells and Li-ion batteries. A material's properties, including electronic structure, are dependent on the arrangement of its atoms. However, structure determination (the process of uncovering the atomic arrangement), is impeded, both experimentally and computationally, by disorder. The lack of a verifiable atomic model presents a huge challenge when designing functional amorphous materials. Such materials may be characterised through their local atomic environments using, for example, solid-state NMR and XAS. By using these two spectroscopy methods to inform the sampling of configurations from ab initio molecular dynamics we devise and validate an amorphous model, choosing amorphous alumina to illustrate the approach due to its wide range of technological uses. Our model predicts two distinct geometric environments of AlO5 coordination polyhedra and determines the origin of the pre-edge features in the Al K-edge XAS. From our model we construct an average electronic density of states for amorphous alumina, and identify localized states at the conduction band minimum (CBM). We show that the presence of a pre-edge peak in the XAS is a result of transitions from the Al 1s to Al 3s states at the CBM. Deconvoluting this XAS by coordination geometry reveals contributions from both AlO4 and AlO5 geometries at the CBM give rise to the pre-edge, which provides insight into the role of AlO5 in the electronic structure of alumina. This work represents an important advance within the field of solid-state amorphous modelling, providing a method for developing amorphous models through the comparison of experimental and computationally derived spectra, which may then be used to determine the electronic structure of amorphous materials.

description: This article aims to present the perception of protein safety by feed market participants in Poland and indicate the factors determining its development. In recent years, food security has become a subject of particular importance for European countries, including Poland. The growing number of the global population is causing an increase in the demand for animal protein, the production of which primarily requires a liquid supply of vegetable protein for feed production. In Poland, as in other EU countries, the demand for feed protein has, for many years, been much higher than the domestic production of protein feed raw materials. The COVID-19 pandemic has created many risks associated with maintaining the supply chain and clearly points to the need for greater self-sufficiency in feed protein. The research shows that a lack of vertical integration and agreement among players is one of the major problems in the functioning of the indigenous protein crop market. A solution could be to create an online platform that acts as a market maker.

description: Research and theory related to reserve stocks accumulation is reviewed. The objectives of holding reserves, storage rules, market conditions, and evaluation of storage rules in achieving objectives are considered. Major conclusions are: There is no one optimal stocks policy; in future models to analyze alternative stocks policies, the demand portion heeds to incorporate a more thorough demand-for-U.S.-exports component; future studies should examine substitutability in demand for all food and feed grains and oilseeds; supply, in addition to being considered a function of stochastic yields, should also be defined as a function of planted acres, where acreage responds to market conditions and public farm programs; and public vs. private control needs to be examined
Communities and classes in symmetric fractals

Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)

description: Two aspects of fractal networks are considered: the community structure and the class structure, where classes of nodes appear as a consequence of a local symmetry of nodes. The analysed systems are the networks constructed for two selected symmetric fractals: the Sierpinski triangle and the Koch curve. Communities are searched for by means of a set of differential equations. Overlapping nodes which belong to two different communities are identified by adding some noise to the initial connectivity matrix. Then, a node can be characterized by a spectrum of probabilities of belonging to different communities. Our main goal is that the overlapping nodes with the same spectra belong to the same class.

description: Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on silver oxide (Ag$_2$O) with the cuprite structure were performed at temperatures from 40 to 400\,K, and Fourier transform far-infrared spectra were measured from 100 to 300\,K. The measured phonon densities of states and the infrared spectra showed unusually large energy shifts with temperature, and large linewidth broadenings. First principles molecular dynamics (MD) calculations were performed at various temperatures, successfully accounting for the negative thermal expansion (NTE) and local dynamics. Using the Fourier-transformed velocity autocorrelation method, the MD calculations reproduced the large anharmonic effects of Ag$_2$O, and were in excellent agreement with the neutron scattering data. The quasiharmonic approximation (QHA) was less successful in accounting for much of the phonon behavior. The QHA could account for some of the NTE below 250 K, although not at higher temperatures. Strong anharmonic effects were found for both phonons and for the NTE. The lifetime broadenings of Ag$_2$O were explained by anharmonic perturbation theory, which showed rich interactions between the Ag-dominated modes and the O-dominated modes in both up- and down-conversion processes.

description: We describe the formalism of a quantitative analytic model for the evolution of realistic wiggly (as opposed to Goto-Nambu) cosmic strings. The model is particularly suited for describing the evolution of small-scale structure on string networks. We discuss model solutions in the extreme limit where the wiggles make up a high fraction of the total energy of the string network (which physically corresponds to the tensionless limit) and also provide a brief discussion of the opposite (linear) limit where wiggles are a small fraction of the total energy. A companion paper will discuss the detailed modelling and scaling behavior of the small-scale wiggles in the general model, together with a basic comparison with numerical simulations.

description: How cytoskeletal filaments collectively undergo growth and shrinkage is an intriguing question. Collective properties of multiple bio-filaments (actin or microtubules) undergoing hydrolysis, have not been studied extensively earlier, within simple theoretical frameworks. In this paper, we show that collective properties of multiple filaments under force are very distinct from the properties of a single filament under similar conditions -- these distinctions manifest as follows: (i) the collapse time during collective catastrophe for a multifilament system is much larger than that of a single filament with the same average length, (ii) force-dependence of the cap-size distribution of multiple filaments are quantitatively different from that of single filament, (iii) the diffusion constant associated with the system length fluctuations is distinct for multiple filaments, (iv) switching dynamics of multiple filaments between capped and uncapped states and the fluctuations therein are also distinct. We build a unified picture by establishing interconnections among all these collective phenomena. Additionally, we show that the collapse times during catastrophes can be sharp indicators of collective stall forces exceeding the additive contributions of single filaments.

description: This is a review of recent results on the integrable structure of the ordinary and modified melting crystal models. When deformed by special external potentials, the partition function of the ordinary melting crystal model is known to become essentially a tau function of the 1D Toda hierarchy. In the same sense, the modified model turns out to be related to the Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy. These facts are explained with the aid of a free fermion system, fermionic expressions of the partition functions, algebraic relations among fermion bilinears and vertex operators, and infinite matrix representations of those operators.

description: In this work we study the critical behavior of a three-state ($+1$, $-1$, $0$) opinion model with independence. Each agent has a probability $q$ to act as independent, i.e., he/she can choose his/her opinion independently of the opinions of the other agents. On the other hand, with the complementary probability $1-q$ the agent interacts with a randomly chosen individual through a kinetic exchange. Our analytical and numerical results show that the independence mechanism acts as a noise that induces an order-disorder transition at critical points $q_{c}$ that depend on the individuals' flexibility. For a special value of this flexibility the system undergoes a transition to an absorbing state with all opinions $0$.

description: We study how the estimation of the sonic Mach number ($M_s$) from $^{13}$CO linewidths relates to the actual 3D sonic Mach number. For this purpose we analyze MHD simulations which include post-processing to take radiative transfer effects into account. As expected, we find very good agreement between the linewidth estimated sonic Mach number and the actual sonic Mach number of the simulations for optically thin tracers. However, we find that opacity broadening causes $M_s$ to be overestimated by a factor of ~ 1.16 - 1.3 when calculated from optically thick $^{13}$CO lines. We also find that there is a dependency on the magnetic field: super-Alfvénic turbulence shows increased line broadening as compared with sub-Alfvénic turbulence for all values of optical depth for supersonic turbulence. Our results have implications for the observationally derived sonic Mach number--density standard deviation ($σ_{ρ/}$) relationship, $σ^2_{ρ/}=b^2M_s^2$, and the related column density standard deviation ($σ_{N/}$) sonic Mach number relationship. In particular, we find that the parameter b, as an indicator of solenoidal vs. compressive driving, will be underestimated as a result of opacity broadening. We compare the $σ_{N/}-M_s$ relation derived from synthetic dust extinction maps and $^{13}$CO linewidths with recent observational studies and find that solenoidally driven MHD turbulence simulations have values of $σ_{N/}$ which are lower than real molecular clouds. This may be due to the influence of self-gravity which should be included in simulations of molecular cloud dynamics.

The Klein tunneling and resonant tunneling are demonstrated for the quasiparticles with energy close to the Dirac points. The Klein tunneling vanishes by increasing the height of the potential barriers to more than 300 meV. The Dirac transport properties continuously change to the Schrodinger ones. It is found that the peaks of resonant tunneling approximate to the eigen-levels of graphene nanoribbons under appropriate boundary conditions. A comparison between the zigzag- and armchair-edge barriers is given.

description: The upward trajectory of urbanization, coupled with the ever-growing demand for more water resources, has led to increased pressure on limited water resources, particularly in cities with dry climates such as Tehran. Since the balance of Tehran’s water ecosystems has been disturbed, and the quality and quantity of water resources have been affected in recent years, conducting an assessment of water environment carrying capacity (WECC) seemed vital for this city. WECC was used as the basis of water supply sustainability evaluation concerning Tehran’s land use and demographic characteristics on a neighborhood scale. Therefore, the effect size and correlation of 12 types of land use and six variables derived from the literature with water consumption patterns were examined in warm and cold seasons. The results show that land use, population density, percentage of deteriorated area, percentage of buildings over 30 years old, residential–commercial land use, and green spaces correlate significantly with water consumption. The percentage of deteriorated areas and buildings over 30 years old has a negative, and the rest has a positive impact on water consumption. It is also recommended to use the research findings to improve Tehran’s water environment carrying capacity and apply the proposed evaluation procedure to other cities. The results of this research can be used in planning large and densely populated cities with a neighborhood-oriented approach, in which local institutions play an essential role in attracting people’s participation and inclusive urban planning.

With decreasing oxygen contents, the isotope exponent $α$ monotonously increases without any anomaly around $p = 1/8$. The monotonous increase in $α$ indicates that phonons are involved in the mechanism which causes the monotonous $T_c$ suppression with underdoping.

Differentiated instruction through choice in mathematics
Creators: Bruno, Alexandria
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Differentiated instruction through choice is a teaching approach commonly used in classrooms. Bender (2012) states that differentiated instruction is commonly used in general education classes and is particularly helpful to students with an array of learning needs and interests. This research focused on differentiated instruction through choice in mathematics and was focused on developing an early career teacher’s understanding of differentiated instruction through choice using the self-study methodology of action research. The question that guided the research was, “How can self-exploration of knowledge and practice lead to improved teaching, confidence, and self-efficacy for an early-career teacher?" Throughout the research, data was analyzed on how differentiated instruction through choice was implemented and how it supported student learning. The data was collected and analyzed on the use of differentiated instruction in support of learners with diverse abilities, including students who are working below, at, or above the graded curriculum. Four themes were identified, these included the dynamics of class routine, the decision between literacy and numeracy, collaboration amongst all classroom members, and students making successful choices. The self-study provided the researcher opportunity to reflect on the experiences of implementing differentiated instruction through choice through focused data collection and reflection in an effort to improve teaching practices.

description: Although it is widely accepted that classical information cannot travel faster than the speed of light in vacuum, the behavior of quantum correlations and quantum information propagating through actively-pumped fast-light media has not been studied in detail. To investigate this behavior, we send one half of an entangled state of light through a gain-assisted fast-light medium and detect the remaining quantum correlations. We show that the quantum correlations can be advanced by a small fraction of the correlation time while the entanglement is preserved even in the presence of noise added by phase-insensitive gain. Additionally, although we observe an advance of the peak of the quantum mutual information between the modes, we find that the degradation of the mutual information due to the added noise appears to prevent an advancement of the leading edge. In contrast, we show that both the leading and trailing edges of the mutual information in a slow-light system can be significantly delayed.

description: Tyrosinase is a critical enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis in living beings and, exhibiting enzymatic browning in fruits and vegetables. It finds various commercial applications in fields of healthcare (skin pigmentation, wound healing), forensic, and food processing. It is also responsible for biochemical sclerotization process. Tyrosinase activity is dependent on various factors such as enzyme concentration, substrate concentration used, temperature, operating pH, and other regulators such as inhibitors and effectors. Hence it is critical to monitor the enzyme activity under different conditions while using the enzyme. The activity of tyrosinase is measured in different ways e.g., by using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), where the AFM tip is coated with the substrate used in the catalytic process and the force measured corresponds to the activity. Other measurement techniques include electrochemical, colorimetry, spectrophotometry, and spectroscopy. Most of these techniques typically require laboratory equipment that are bulky, high power, complex to operate and fail to be used in portable and space constraint application environments, and most importantly for real-time on-site monitoring. To address these challenges, here, we developed a portable 3D printed multispectral spectrophotometer for real-time monitoring of enzyme molecular activity. The device measures absorbance spectrum at multiple spectrum channels for a fixed excitation source in transmission mode. The synchronized device consists of optical filters with Gaussian characteristics with a defined bandwidth at the detector. The detector, and excitation source are controlled by a microcontroller that is responsible for data acquisition and processing. For tyrosinase activity monitoring, the 3D printed device has shown significant correlation (R2 = 0.999) with the measurements obtained from the standard table-top spectrophotometer for enzyme activity ranging in between 0.18 ΔAmin−1 to 0.016 ΔAmin−1. The enzyme activity was also studied using the 3D printed spectrophotometer while using kojic acid, a common commercially employed tyrosinase inhibitor while varying both its molar concentration and volume concentration to control the reaction rate at discrete activity levels. The device measures an average correlation of 0.9983 for the inhibition study measurements resulting in the lowest reduction of the enzyme activity to about 0.002 ΔAmin−1, for each of the reaction rates against the standard table-top spectrophotometer. This miniaturized 3D printed spectrophotometer is about 95% reduced dimension and weight compared to the reference table-top spectrophotometer used in this study.

An Optimal Consumption-Investment Model with Constraint on Consumption

description: A continuous-time consumption-investment model with constraint is considered for a small investor whose decisions are the consumption rate and the allocation of wealth to a risk-free and a risky asset with logarithmic Brownian motion fluctuations. The consumption rate is subject to an upper bound constraint which linearly depends on the investor's wealth and bankruptcy is prohibited. The investor's objective is to maximize total expected discounted utility of consumption over an infinite trading horizon. It is shown that the value function is (second order) smooth everywhere but a unique possibility of (known) exception point and the optimal consumption-investment strategy is provided in a closed feedback form of wealth, which in contrast to the existing work does not involve the value function. According to this model, an investor should take the same optimal investment strategy as in Merton's model regardless his financial situation. By contrast, the optimal consumption strategy does depend on the investor's financial situation: he should use a similar consumption strategy as in Merton's model when he is in a bad situation, and consume as much as possible when he is in a good situation.

description: The majority of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) literature equates the cooperation of self-interested agents in mixed environments to the problem of social welfare maximization, allowing agents to arbitrarily share rewards and private information. This results in agents that forgo their individual goals in favour of social good, which can potentially be exploited by selfish defectors. We argue that cooperation also requires agents' identities and boundaries to be respected by making sure that the emergent behaviour is an equilibrium, i.e., a convention that no agent can deviate from and receive higher individual payoffs. Inspired by advances in mechanism design, we propose to solve the problem of cooperation, defined as finding socially beneficial equilibrium, by using mediators. A mediator is a benevolent entity that may act on behalf of agents, but only for the agents that agree to it. We show how a mediator can be trained alongside agents with policy gradient to maximize social welfare subject to constraints that encourage agents to cooperate through the mediator. Our experiments in matrix and iterative games highlight the potential power of applying mediators in MARL.

description: The connection of the binding energy and width of possible bound eta-mesic states is given to the complex scattering length for s-states in the hope that, with knowledge of the final state interaction this could be useful in searches of these states. In spite of the strong direct potential dependence of both observables this connection is seen to be very model independent even for various nuclei once the influence of also the effective range is considered. The importance of this term is pointed also for data analyses. Although the nucleus considered here is 12C, extension to other nuclei is implied in the background work.

description: Based on the scattering matrix approach, we systematically investigate the anharmonic effect of the pumped current in double-barrier structures with adiabatic time-modulation of two sinusoidal AC driven potential heights. The pumped current as a function of the phase difference between the two driven potentials looks like to be sinusoidal, but actually it contains sine functions of double and more phase difference. It is found that this kind of anharmonic effect of the pumped current is determined combinedly by the Be rry curvature and parameter variation loop trajectory. Therefore small ratio of the driving amplitude and the static amplitude is not necessary for harmonic pattern in the pumped current to dominate for smooth Berry curvature on the surface within the parameter variation loop.
