description: Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare narratives generated by 4-year-old and 5-year-old children who were bilingual in English and Cantonese.Method: The sample included 47 children (23 who were 4 years old and 24 who were 5 years old) living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who spoke both Cantonese and English. The participants spoke and heard predominantly Cantonese in the home. Participants generated a story in English and Cantonese by using a wordless picture book; language order was counterbalanced. Data were transcribed and coded for story grammar, morphosyntactic quality, mean length of utterance in words, and the number of different words. Results: Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed higher story grammar scores in English than in Cantonese, but no other significant main effects of language were observed. Analyses also revealed that older children had higher story grammar, mean length of utterance in words, and morphosyntactic quality scores than younger children in both languages. Hierarchical regressions indicated that Cantonese story grammar predicted English story grammar and Cantonese microstructure predicted English microstructure. However, no correlation was observed between Cantonese and English morphosyntactic quality.Conclusions: The results of this study have implications for speech-language pathologists who collect narratives in Cantonese and English from bilingual preschoolers. The results suggest that there is a possible transfer in narrative abilities between the two languages.

description: Transitional inference is an empiricism concept, rooted and practiced in clinical medicine since ancient Greece. Knowledge and experiences gained from treating one entity (e.g., a disease or a group of patients) are applied to treat a related but distinctively different one (e.g., a similar disease or a new patient). This notion of “transition to the similar” renders individualized treatments an operational meaning, yet its theoretical foundation defies the familiar inductive inference framework. The uniqueness of entities is the result of potentially an infinite number of attributes (hencep=∞), which entails zero direct training sample size (i.e., n = 0) because genuine guinea pigs do not exist. However, the literature on wavelets and on sieve methods for nonparametric estimation suggests a principled approximation theory for transitional inference via a multi-resolution (MR) perspective, where we use the resolution level to index the degree of approximation to ultimate individuality. MR inference seeks a primary resolution indexing an indirect training sample, which provides enough matched attributes to increase the relevance of the results to the target individuals and yet still accumulate sufficient indirect sample sizes for robust estimation. Theoretically, MR inference relies on an infinite-term ANOVA-type decomposition, providing an alternative way to model sparsity via the decay rate of the resolution bias as a function of the primary resolution level. Unexpectedly, this decomposition reveals a world without variance when the outcome is a deterministic function of potentially infinitely many predictors. In this deterministic world, the optimal resolution prefers over-fitting in the traditional sense when the resolution bias decays sufficiently rapidly. Furthermore, there can be many “descents” in the prediction error curve, when the contributions of predictors are inhomogeneous and the ordering of their importance does not align with the order of their inclusion in prediction. These findings may hint at a deterministic approximation theory for understanding the apparently over-fitting resistant phenomenon of some over-saturated models in machine learning.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: This study is designed to provide a concrete set of marketing tools for any small operator (rancher, slaughterhouse, or food processor) interested in selling value-added meat products to the rapidly growing commercial food service sector. To pinpoint which products and services available from small-scale local manufacturers are likely to be most attractive to commercial food service customers, researchers from Texas A&M University (TAMU) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) surveyed nearly 200 restaurant and other food service buyers in Texas about their meat purchasing habits and preferences. The resulting research report attempts to help increase sales of value-added meat products by small firms to restaurant and other food service customers by: • Highlighting the factors that most strongly influence food service buyers when making meat purchasing decisions; • Identifying the types of restaurants most likely to purchase meat products directly from small local purveyors—and the types of specialty/custom products they are most likely to want; • Assessing areas of competitive advantage for small-scale local manufacturers in the restaurant and food service industry; and • Recommending specific business strategies that are likely to be most effective when approaching individual segments of the restaurant and food service market.

description: We present the SVOM (Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor) mission that the Chinese National Space Agency and the French Space Agency have decided to jointly implement. SVOM has been designed to detect all known types of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), to provide fast and reliable GRB positions, to measure the broadband spectral shape and temporal properties of the GRB prompt emission, and to quickly identify the optical/near-infrared afterglows of detected GRBs, including high-redshift ones. Scheduled to be in orbit in the second half of the present decade, the SVOM satellite will carry a very innovative scientific payload combining for the first time a wide field X- and gamma-ray coded mask imager for GRB real-time localizations to few arcmin, a non-imaging gamma-ray monitor, and two narrow-field instruments for the study of the GRB early afterglow emission in the X-ray and visible bands. The SVOM payload is complemented by ground-based instruments including a wide-field camera to catch the GRB prompt emission in the visible band and two robotic telescopes to measure the photometric properties of the early afterglow. A particular attention is paid to the GRB follow-up in facilitating the observation of the SVOM detected GRB by the largest ground based telescopes.

description: MiniBooNE charge current quasi-elastic double differential cross section data are analyzed and confronted with predictions of two theoretical nucleus models: Fermi gas and spectral function. The fitting procedure includes the overall flux uncertainty multiplicative factor. In order to obtain a reliable value of the axial mass, bins with large contribution from small momentum transfer are eliminated from the analysis. It is shown that the best fit axial mass value becomes smaller as the momentum transfer cut is more restrictive. For $q_{cut}=500$~MeV/c the obtained values of axial mass are $M_A=1350\pm 66$~MeV for the Fermi gas and $M_A=1343\pm 60$~MeV for the spectral function. The value $M_A=1030$~MeV is excluded on the level which goes far beyond $5σ$.

description: L’inclusione degli allievi con BES è un tema sempre più importante nella realtà scolastica ticinese, e quindi questo lavoro ha l’obiettivo di indagare più precisamente le conoscenze che i docenti hanno sugli allievi con BES, come la loro formazione li aiuta (o no) ad affrontare questi allievi. Si cerca anche di capire, sempre secondo i docenti intervistati, l’importanza e il ruolo del docente di sostegno nella gestione di questi allievi. Inoltre, si guarda che tipo di didattica utilizzano i docenti, se si tratta di una didattica adattata agli allievi BES o no. Un totale di 18 docenti di L2 (inglese, tedesco e francese) ha risposto a un questionario elaborato per questo lavoro, questionario composto sia da domande aperte che da domande chiuse. I risultati più rilevanti sono il fatto che i docenti sentono di non avere una formazione sufficiente per gestire questi allievi, che si appoggiano molto sui docenti di sostegno per aiutarli. Il docente di sostegno è visto come una figura importante, quasi indispensabile nell’istituto scolastico. Per quanto riguarda la didattica, i docenti non usano sempre una didattica adatta alle problematiche di questi allievi, rimanendo molto sulle modalità classiche di insegnamento. Questo punto, assieme al sentimento di non essere formati adeguatamente per gestire questi allievi potrebbe aprire une riflessione sulla modalità di aggiornare e/formare i docenti ulteriormente al fine di veramente riuscire ad includere nel miglior dei modi gli allievi con bisogni educativi speciali.

description: We present a systematic ab initio study based on density-functional calculations to understand impurity effects in iron-based superconductors. Effective tight-binding Hamiltonians for the d-bands of LaFeAsO with various transition-metal impurities such as Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, and Ru are constructed using maximally-localized Wannier orbitals. Local electronic structures around the impurity are quantitatively characterized by their onsite potential and transfer hoppings to neighboring sites. We found that the impurities are classified into three groups according to the derived parameters: For Mn, Co, and Ni, their impurity-3d levels measured from the Fe-3d level are nearly 0.3 eV, -0.3 eV, and -0.8 eV, respectively, while, for the Zn case, the d level is considerably deep as -8 eV. For the Ru case, although the onsite-level difference is much smaller as O(0.1) eV, the transfer integrals around the impurity site are larger than those of the pure system by 20% \sim 30%, due to the large spatial spread of the Ru-4d orbitals. We also show that, while excess carriers are tightly trapped around the impurity site (due to the Friedel sum rule), there is a rigid shift of band structure near the Fermi level, which has the same effect as carrier doping.

description: Purpose: The present study examined whether engaging working memory in a secondary task benefits speech fluency. Effects of dual-task conditions on speech fluency, rate, and errors were examined with respect to predictions derived from three related theoretical accounts of disfluencies.Method: Nineteen adults who stutter and twenty adults who do not stutter participated in the study. All participants completed 2 baseline tasks: a continuous-speaking task and a working-memory (WM) task involving manipulations of domain, load, and interstimulus interval. In the dual-task portion of the experiment, participants simultaneously performed the speaking task with each unique combination of WM conditions.Results: All speakers showed similar fluency benefits and decrements in WM accuracy as a result of dual-task conditions. Fluency effects were specific to atypical forms of disfluency and were comparable across WM-task manipulations. Changes in fluency were accompanied by reductions in speaking rate but not by corresponding changes in overt errors.Conclusions: Findings suggest that WM contributes to disfluencies regardless of stuttering status and that engaging WM resources while speaking enhances fluency. Further research is needed to verify the cognitive mechanism involved in this effect and to determine how these findings can best inform clinical intervention.

description: Il presente lavoro di ricerca cerca di indagare se un percorso di scoperta del patrimonio storicoculturale possa permettere l’evoluzione delle concezioni temporali del gruppo del secondo anno obbligatorio (O2) in una sezione di Scuola dell’infanzia. Più precisamente, si vuole comprendere se prima e dopo la proposta ci sia un arricchimento nella visione di quella che era la vita del passato in confronto a quella attuale e, in questo senso, sia promosso l’orientamento temporale del gruppo O2. La proposta chiede l’intervento dei nonni e delle nonne per testimoniare quale fosse la loro infanzia, in particolare i giochi di una volta. Il percorso, interrotto a causa del Covid-19, per quanto breve, ha portato in luce alcune riflessioni sulle competenze emerse tra queste la capacità di analizzare una fonte (iconografica od orale), quella di ricercare autonomamente e in modo spontaneo risposte al problema, infine quella di fissare e quindi saper esprimere alcune importanti testimonianze. Queste osservazioni sono possibili grazie alle due interviste semi-strutturate proposte al gruppo O2 a inizio percorso e prima della chiusura delle scuole comunali. Relatrice: Lisa Fornara.

description: Stationary reciprocal processes defined on a finite interval of the integer line can be seen as a special class of Markov random fields restricted to one dimension. Non stationary reciprocal processes have been extensively studied in the past especially by Jamison, Krener, Levy and co-workers. The specialization of the non-stationary theory to the stationary case, however, does not seem to have been pursued in sufficient depth in the literature. Stationary reciprocal processes (and reciprocal stochastic models) are potentially useful for describing signals which naturally live in a finite region of the time (or space) line. Estimation or identification of these models starting from observed data seems still to be an open problem which can lead to many interesting applications in signal and image processing. In this paper, we discuss a class of reciprocal processes which is the acausal analog of auto-regressive (AR) processes, familiar in control and signal processing. We show that maximum likelihood identification of these processes leads to a covariance extension problem for block-circulant covariance matrices. This generalizes the famous covariance band extension problem for stationary processes on the integer line. As in the usual stationary setting on the integer line, the covariance extension problem turns out to be a basic conceptual and practical step in solving the identification problem. We show that the maximum entropy principle leads to a complete solution of the problem.

description: Excerpts from the Executive Summary: In an era of disappearing family farms, consolidation of the food industry and food that travels an estimated 1,500 miles “from farm to table,” consumers are increasingly seeking alternatives to what many see as an impersonal food system. An increasing number are wondering how their produce is grown, where it came from, and how it got to the supermarket. At the same time, small farmers are increasingly exploring a broad range of “alternative” marketing mechanisms, such as direct marketing, as a means of increasing their viability by capturing a larger percentage of consumer food dollars. An increasingly popular means of creating direct linkages between small farmers and local consumers is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). The CSA movement has resonated with American consumers seeking a more direct connection with local food and family farmers. The number of CSA farms in the U.S. has grown from approximately 60 farms in 1990 to an estimated 1,700 in 2004. CSAs are now located in all 50 states, with the largest concentrations in California, New York, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Washington. The research set out to gain an in-depth understanding of CSA in terms of a range of issues, including production, labor, marketing, finances, collaboration, competition and community relations. The research identifies a number of challenges facing CSA and how farmers have addressed those challenges. Finally, the report offers recommendations for increasing the viability of CSA, based on the research.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine prevalence and predictors of persistent speech sound disorder (SSD) in children aged 8 years after disregarding children presenting solely with common clinical distortions (i.e., residual errors).Method: Data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (Boyd et al., 2012) were used. Children were classified as having persistent SSD on the basis of percentage of consonants correct measures from connected speech samples. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors.Results: The estimated prevalence of persistent SSD was 3.6%. Children with persistent SSD were more likely to be boys and from families who were not homeowners. Early childhood predictors identified as important were weak sucking at 4 weeks, not often combining words at 24 months, limited use of word morphology at 38 months, and being unintelligible to strangers at age 38 months. School-age predictors identified as important were maternal report of difficulty pronouncing certain sounds and hearing impairment at age 7 years, tympanostomy tube insertion at any age up to 8 years, and a history of suspected coordination problems. The contribution of these findings to our understanding of risk factors for persistent SSD and the nature of the condition is considered.Conclusion: Variables identified as predictive of persistent SSD suggest that factors across motor, cognitive, and linguistic processes may place a child at risk.

Diverse functions of Rtt107 in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA damage response
Creators: name: Brown, Joshua Allen Richard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Cells are routinely confronted with DNA damage and depend on genome maintenance factors to prevent cell death, as well as mutations and genomic rearrangements. The DNA damage response includes DNA repair and cell cycle checkpoints, which arrest sensitive processes such as DNA replication while damage is repaired. Rtt107 is an evolutionarily conserved Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein that is required for resistance to agents that cause replicative stress and DNA damage. Rtt107 has been best characterized as a scaffold that acts in response to DNA damage, localizing to phosphorylated H2A and binding to diverse protein partners, including Slx4. However, other functions of Rtt107 remain unclear. Mutants lacking Rtt107 exhibit prolonged checkpoint activation after replicative stress, and the “checkpoint dampening” model proposes that Rtt107-Slx4 reduces checkpoint activity by limiting formation of a Rad9-Dpb11 complex that promotes checkpoint activity. In this dissertation, I identified higher levels of DNA damage in cells lacking Rtt107 during replicative stress. This presented an alternative cause of checkpoint activity, and I showed that the Rad9-Dpb11 complex was not primarily responsible for prolonged checkpoint activity in this context. Based on these findings, I proposed a revised model of Rtt107 function during replicative stress, in which Rtt107 primarily reduced checkpoint activity by limiting DNA damage levels. I next explored Rtt107’s less well-understood function in limiting spontaneous genome instability, and found that this was partially distinct from its function in the context of treatment with replicative stress. Specifically, Rtt107 bound to the DNA repair protein Rad55 to limit spontaneous loss of heterozygosity, and spontaneous crossover events. I next focused on the regulation of Rtt107, specifically the phosphorylation of Rtt107’s SQ/TQ cluster domain (SCD) by the Mec1 kinase after treatment with DNA damaging agents. To address inconsistencies between prior reports on the importance of Rtt107 phosphorylation, I reviewed prior work on this subject and demonstrated that phosphorylation of Rtt107’s SCD was dispensable for growth during chronic treatment with DNA damaging agents. Collectively, my dissertation reveals how Rtt107 acts with various partners and in different contexts to confer resistance to agents that cause replicative stress and DNA damage, and to prevent spontaneous genome instability.
Gesture Production and Lexical Abilities in SLI (Lavelli & Majorano, 2016)
Creators: name: Lavelli, Manuela

Publisher: name: ASHA journals

Subjects: Language

description: Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the role that cospeech gestures play in lexical production in preschool-age children with expressive specific language impairment (E-SLI). Method: Fifteen preschoolers with E-SLI and 2 groups of typically developing (TD) children matched for chronological age (n = 15, CATD group) and for language abilities (n = 15, LATD group) completed a picture-naming task. The accuracy of the spoken answers (coded for types of correct and incorrect answers), the modality of expression (spoken and/or gestural), types of gestures, and semantic relationship between gestures and speech produced by children in the different groups were compared.Results: Children with SLI produced higher rates of phonological simplifications and unintelligible answers than CATD children, but lower rates of semantic errors than LATD children. They did not show a significant preference for spoken answers, as TD children did. Similarly to LATD children, they used gestures at higher rates than CATD, both deictic and representational, and both reinforcing the information conveyed in speech and adding correct information to co-occurring speech.Conclusions: These findings support the hypotheses that children with SLI rely on gestures for scaffolding their speech and do not have a clear preference for the spoken modality, as TD children do, and have implications for educational and clinical practice.

Anderson Localization Triggered by Spin Disorder---with an Application to Eu_x Ca_1-x B_6

description: The phenomenon of Anderson localization is studied for a class of one-particle Schrödinger operators with random Zeeman interactions. These operators arise as follows: Static spins are placed randomly on the sites of a simple cubic lattice according to a site percolation process with density x and coupled to one another ferromagnetically. Scattering of an electron in a conduction band at these spins is described by a random Zeeman interaction term that originates from indirect exchange. It is shown rigorously that, for positive values of x below the percolation threshold, the spectrum of the one-electron Schrödinger operator near the band edges is dense pure-point, and the corresponding eigenfunctions are exponentially localized. Localization near the band edges persists in a weak external magnetic field, H, but disappears gradually, as H is increased. Our results lead us to predict the phenomenon of colossal (negative) magnetoresistance and the existence of a Mott transition, as H and/or x are increased. Our analysis is motivated directly by experimental results concerning the magnetic alloy Eu_x Ca_1-x B_6.

Phase diagram showing the region of stability of the solitons is obtained. We also study the dynamics of breathing oscillation of the solitons as well as the collision dynamics of two solitons at large velocities. Two solitons placed side-by-side at rest coalesce to form a stable bound soliton molecule due to dipolar attraction.

description: We study the luminosity gap, dm12, between the first and second ranked galaxies in a sample of 59 massive galaxy clusters, using data from the Hale Telescope, HST, Chandra, and Spitzer. We find that the dm12 distribution, p(dm12), is a declining function of dm12, to which we fitted a straight line: p(dm12) propto -(0.13+/-0.02)dm12. The fraction of clusters with "large" luminosity gaps is p(dm12>=1)=0.37+/-0.08, which represents a 3sigma excess over that obtained from Monte Carlo simulations of a Schechter function that matches the mean cluster galaxy luminosity function. We also identify four clusters with "extreme" luminosity gaps, dm12>=2, giving a fraction of p(dm12>=2)=0.07+0.05-0.03. More generally, large luminosity gap clusters are relatively homogeneous, with elliptical/disky brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), cuspy gas density profiles (i.e. strong cool cores), high concentrations, and low substructure fractions. In contrast, small luminosity gap clusters are heterogeneous, spanning the full range of boxy/elliptical/disky BCG morphologies, the full range of cool core strengths and dark matter concentrations, and have large substructure fractions. Taken together, these results imply that the amplitude of the luminosity gap is a function of both the formation epoch, and the recent infall history of the cluster. "BCG dominance" is therefore a phase that a cluster may evolve through, and is not an evolutionary "cul-de-sac". We also compare our results with semi-analytic model predictions based on the Millennium Simulation. None of the models are able to reproduce all of the observational results, underlining the inability of current models to match the empirical properties of BCGs. We identify the strength of AGN feedback and the efficiency with which cluster galaxies are replenished after they merge with the BCG in each model as possible causes of these discrepancies.

description: Let G be a complex connected reductive group. The PRV conjecture, which was proved independently by S. Kumar and O. Mathieu in 1989, gives explicit irreducible submodules of the tensor product of two irreducible G-modules. This paper has three aims. First, we simplify the proof of the PRV conjecture, then we generalize it to other branching problems. Finally, we find other irreducible components of the tensor product of two irreducible G-modules that appear for "the same reason" as the PRV ones.
Backlund transformations for the elliptic Gaudin model and a Clebsch system

Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)

description: A two-parameters family of Backlund transformations for the classical elliptic Gaudin model is constructed. The maps are explicit, symplectic, preserve the same integrals as for the continuous flows and are a time discretization of each of these flows. The transformations can map real variables into real variables, sending physical solutions of the equations of motion into physical solutions. The starting point of the analysis is the integrability structure of the model. It is shown how the analogue transformations for the rational and trigonometric Gaudin model are a limiting case of this one. An application to a particular case of the Clebsch system is given.
