Why an Indirect Measure of L2 Learner’s Willingness to Communicate in L2 Writing Requires Cautious Inferencing
Creators: name: Kim, Peter
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2017

description: In Exploring the dynamics of willingness to communicate (WTC) in written communication, Choe’s (this issue) preliminary case study explores an area of WTC that has not been fully addressed by WTC scholars: an analysis of WTC in written communication. When the concept of WTC was applied to the L2 context, a negative correlation between L1 WTC and L2 WTC revealed a different nature of L2 WTC. L2 WTC was found to be fluid and dynamic, open and interactive with L2 learning context and a host of other factors both learner internal and external that self-organizes to emerge a changing WTC orientation that is situation-specific. In light of this, according to the Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) approach to second language acquisition (SLA), L2 WTC features layers of potential factors that comprise situation-specific influences at a given moment-in-time as well as stable, enduring influences that are more resistant to change. In short, in CDST, L2 WTC is seen as an emergent property of both the stable, intrinsic nature of the learner and the dynamic nature of the learner’s external conditions.

Celestial amplitude for 2d theory

description: We explore celestial amplitude corresponding to $2d$ bulk $\mathcal{S}$-matrix. We consider scalar particles with identical mass and show that the celestial amplitude becomes the fourier transform of the $2d$ $\mathcal{S}$-matrix written in the rapidity variable. We translate the crossing and unitarity conditions into the conditions on the celestial amplitude. For the $2d$ Sinh-Gordon model, we calculate the celestial amplitude perturbatively in coupling constant and check that the crossing and unitarity conditions are satisfied for the celestial amplitude. Imposing the crossing and unitarity conditions to the celestial amplitude, we want to find amplitudes to the higher order in perturbation theory from the lower order i.e., to provide a "\textit{proof of principle}" to show we can apply the bootstrap idea to the celestial amplitude. We find that imposing the crossing and unitarity conditions is not enough for bootstrapping celestial amplitude, there is an extra term which can't be fixed by the crossing and unitarity conditions. We also study the gravitational dressing condition in $2d$ QFT for massless particles in celestial space and see that for the gravitationally dressed celestial amplitude, the poles on the right half-plane get erased for several ansatzes.

description: The X-ray structure of Kepler's supernova remnant shows a rounded shape delineated by forward shocks. We measure proper motions of the forward shocks on overall rims of the remnant, by using archival Chandra data taken in two epochs with time difference of 6.09 yr. The proper motions of the forward shocks on the northern rim are measured to be from 0.076" (+/-0.032"+/-0.016") to 0.110" (+/-0.014"+/-0.016") per yr, while those on the rest of the rims are measured to be from 0.150" (+/-0.017"+/-0.016") to 0.300" (+/-0.048"+/-0.016") per yr, here the first-term errors are statistical uncertainties and the second-term errors are systematic uncertainties. Combining the best-estimated shock velocity of 1660+/-120 km/sec measured for Balmer-dominated filaments in the northern and central portions of the remnant (Sankrit et al. 2005) with the proper motions derived for the forward shocks on the northern rim, we estimate the distance of 3.3 (2.9-4.9) kpc to the remnant. We measure the expansion indices to be 0.47-0.82 for most of the rims. These values are consistent with those expected in Type-Ia SN explosion models, in which the ejecta and the circumstellar medium have power-law density profiles whose indices are 5-7 and 0-2, respectively. Also, we should note the slower expansion on the northern rim than that on the southern rim. This is likely caused by the inhomogeneous circumstellar medium; the density of the circumstellar medium is higher in the north than that in the south of the remnant. The newly estimated geometric center, around which we believe the explosion point exists, is located at about 5" offset in the north of the radio center.
Trade-off or Connected Growers: Implications on Accuracy and Complexity in L2 Writing

description: This paper responds to Exploring the dynamism between propositional complexity and error rate: a case study by Jordan Van Horn (this issue). In her study, Jordan Van Horn analyzes asynchronous email exchanges between a native and nonnative speaker of English utilizing three methods of analysis: error analysis, complexity analysis, and qualitative analysis. In triangulating the data, the author states that this mixed-methods approach can offer a better solution to limitations that arise as a result of employing only one method to analyze performance data. In order to better account for this variability and enhance our understanding of second language acquisition (SLA), the author incorporated Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) to guide her analysis. A major contribution of this study was Van Horn’s finding of connected growers between complexity and accuracy. This finding has major implications not only for our understanding of complex dynamic systems, but also, of SLA in particular, as during L2 linguistic performance, complexity and accuracy often compete with each other for cognitive resources and positive correlations between these two areas have been less common in the literature (Skehan, 2009).

description: There is an increasing global demand for regional and organic produce. However, the growth of these markets depends on consumers’ trust. Thus, novel methods must be developed to aid the verification of the origin of produce. We built on our previous study to identify the geographical origin and production method of animal-derived food products. Thirty-samples of eggs, 99 of milk, 34 of beef, and 62 of pork were collected from different regions in central Germany and analysed for their stable isotopic composition. The analysis followed a single-variate authentification approach using five isotope signatures, δ18O, δ2H, δ13C, δ15N, and δ34S. The best-performing indicators for verification of the geographical origin were δ15N and δ34S for beef; δ18O, δ2H, and δ13C for milk, and δ2H and δ13C for pork. These tracers indicated statistically significant differences among regions with the exception of pork; the results recorded for eggs were inconclusive. It was possible to distinguish between production methods by means of δ15N and δ34S (beef); all five tracers (eggs), and δ13C, δ15N, and δ34S (milk). This study demonstrated how the analysis of stable isotopes can be employed to determine the geographic region of origin and production method of animal-derived products in Germany.

Mean-Field Control Approach to Decentralized Stochastic Control with Finite-Dimensional Memories

description: Decentralized stochastic control (DSC) considers the optimal control problem of a multi-agent system. However, DSC cannot be solved except in the special cases because the estimation among the agents is generally intractable. In this work, we propose memory-limited DSC (ML-DSC), in which each agent compresses the observation history into the finite-dimensional memory. Because this compression simplifies the estimation among the agents, ML-DSC can be solved in more general cases based on the mean-field control theory. We demonstrate ML-DSC in the general LQG problem. Because estimation and control are not clearly separated in the general LQG problem, the Riccati equation is modified to the decentralized Riccati equation, which improves estimation as well as control. Our numerical experiment shows that the decentralized Riccati equation is superior to the conventional Riccati equation.

Applications of process analytics and machine learning in pyrometallurgy and kraft pulping
Creators: name: Rippon, Lee Dale
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The optimization of legacy industrial processes is critical for the economic viability of many rural communities in Canada. Automation and advanced process control is of paramount importance for many large-scale industrial processes to maintain viability in a constricting regulatory environment that is increasingly competitive economically. However, with legacy industrial processes comes a rich history of automation, including large quantities of underappreciated process data. This dissertation is about leveraging existing historical data with machine learning and process analytics to generate novel data-driven solutions to outstanding process faults. An application-driven approach provides insights into the full stack of considerations including identifying and framing data-driven opportunities for control of complex industrial processes, acquiring the necessary resources, preparing the data, developing and evaluating methods, and deploying sustainable solutions. Contributions are made to help address highly troublesome faults in two distinct industrial processes. The first industrial case study involves mitigating the impact of unexpected loss of plasma arc in an electric arc furnace that is key to a 60,000 tonne/year pyrometallurgy operation. A convolutional neural network classifier is trained to learn a representation from the operating data that enables prediction of the arc loss events. The operating data and problem formulation are published as a novel benchmark challenge to address observed shortcomings with existing fault detection benchmark literature. The second industrial case study involves advanced monitoring of a rotary lime kiln in a 152,000 tonne/year kraft pulp mill to mitigate faults such as ring formation and refractory wear. A novel shell temperature visualization strategy is published that enables improved monitoring and empowers researchers and industry professionals to obtain value from thermal camera data. Various approaches are studied for monitoring ring formation. Aberrations in shell temperatures led to the discovery of a novel phenomenon known as rotational aliasing that has important implications for measurement and analysis of shell temperature data. Finally, inferential sensing of residual calcium carbonate content is studied to help optimize specific energy and reduce emissions.

description: The radio-metric tracking data received from the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft from the distances between 20-70 astronomical units from the Sun has consistently indicated the presence of a small, anomalous, blue-shifted Doppler frequency drift that limited the accuracy of the orbit reconstruction for these vehicles. This drift was interpreted as a sunward acceleration of a_P = (8.74+/-1.33)x10^{-10} m/s^2 for each particular spacecraft. This signal has become known as the Pioneer anomaly; the nature of this anomaly is still being investigated. Recently new Pioneer 10 and 11 radio-metric Doppler and flight telemetry data became available. The newly available Doppler data set is much larger when compared to the data used in previous investigations and is the primary source for new investigation of the anomaly. In addition, the flight telemetry files, original project documentation, and newly developed software tools are now used to reconstruct the engineering history of spacecraft. With the help of this information, a thermal model of the Pioneers was developed to study possible contribution of thermal recoil force acting on the spacecraft. The goal of the ongoing efforts is to evaluate the effect of on-board systems on the spacecrafts' trajectories and possibly identify the nature of this anomaly. Techniques developed for the investigation of the Pioneer anomaly are applicable to the New Horizons mission. Analysis shows that anisotropic thermal radiation from on-board sources will accelerate this spacecraft by ~41 x 10^{-10} m/s^2. We discuss the lessons learned from the study of the Pioneer anomaly for the New Horizons spacecraft.

description: This study assessed radon (222Rn) levels in drinking water sources in the Nizampur basin and their potential health risks for the local community. We analyzed 48 water samples on-site using RAD7. Additionally, we measured pH, temperature (T), total dissolved solids (TDS), redox potential (ORP), and electrical conductivity (EC) with a multiparameter analyzer. Results showed pH, T, TDS, ORP, and EC ranging from 7.2 to 8, 17 to 26 °C, 333 to 1130 mg/l, –56 to 284 mV, and 469 to 2370 µS/cm. 222Rn levels varied significantly (0.7–107 Bq/l, mean 23 ± 21, median = 17 Bq/l), with about 65 % exceeding the EPA's limit of 11.1 Bq/l, indicating health risks likely due to local geological conditions. The annual effective doses for ingestion (EwIng) were 0.87 ± 0.01, 0.35 ± 0.006, and 0.13 ± 0.002 µSv/a for adults, infants, and children, respectively. Exposure risk via the inhalation (EwInh) route ranged from 1.75 to 270 µSv/a, with the highest risk in infants, followed by children and adults. Inhalation was the primary exposure route for all age groups. Further, spatial distribution maps and hotspot analysis suggested that the central region characterized by high structural deformation and favorable geology for radon emanation was the area of concern in terms of health risks.
Complex Dynamic Systems and Interlanguage Variability: Investigating Topic, Syntactic Complexity, and Accuracy in NS-NNS Written Interaction
Creators: name: Ciriani Dean, Anna
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2017

description: Studies adopting a CDST framework have often fallen into one of two camps: those investigating variable linguistic subsystems (namely, CAF studies) and those concerned with non-linguistic variables displaying the characteristics of dynamic systems, with little concern for their connection to linguistic development. Examining asynchronous interactional data in an 8-week email exchange between a bilingual speaker of Spanish and English and an advanced Chinese learner of English, this study attempts to reconcile these two camps by exploring the extent to which syntactic complexity and article accuracy vary situationally as a function of topic and willingness to communicate (WTC) in L2 written performance over time and by investigating any potential relationships between complexity and accuracy. A qualitative, inductive analysis reveals that topic bears the characteristics of a dynamic system. The results also show that, for both the native speaker (NS) and non-native speaker (NNS), syntactic complexity, measured as subordinate clauses per T-unit and complex nominals per T-unit, varies situationally with topic, shifting not just over time but within a single email. As might be anticipated, article accuracy exhibits the typical instability of a dynamic system for the NNS but not for the NS, whose stable performance may reflect a permanent attractor state.

Exploring the Dynamics of Willingness to Communicate in Written Communication: A Case Study
Creators: name: Choe, Ann Tai
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2017

description: This paper investigates the dynamics of willingness to communicate (WTC) in written communication between a native and non-native speaker of English. Although research into WTC has identified topic as an interacting variable affecting L2 learners’ WTC during task performances (MacIntyre & Legatto, 2011) and classroom interactions (Cao, 2013), fewer studies have explored the nature of written WTC, its relationships with topics, as well as L2 writing development. This study addresses this gap by exploring the dynamism of WTC in writing from a Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) perspective. Through the employment of three methods—WTC analysis, complexity and accuracy analysis, and functional analysis—the findings suggest that WTC in written communication also reflects the characteristics of a dynamic system. Specifically, it fluctuates as the interlocutors organically move from one topic to the next. Results from the complexity and accuracy analysis and functional analysis provide further evidence to confirm that L2 development is a highly variable and nonlinear process. Overall, these findings lend support to the CDST perspective of interlanguage (IL) development, including dynamism in WTC and L2 writing development.

description: Purpose: We propose a formal framework for the modeling and segmentation of minimally-invasive surgical tasks using a unified set of motion primitives (MPs) to enable more objective labeling and the aggregation of different datasets. Methods: We model dry-lab surgical tasks as finite state machines, representing how the execution of MPs as the basic surgical actions results in the change of surgical context, which characterizes the physical interactions among tools and objects in the surgical environment. We develop methods for labeling surgical context based on video data and for automatic translation of context to MP labels. We then use our framework to create the COntext and Motion Primitive Aggregate Surgical Set (COMPASS), including six dry-lab surgical tasks from three publicly-available datasets (JIGSAWS, DESK, and ROSMA), with kinematic and video data and context and MP labels. Results: Our context labeling method achieves near-perfect agreement between consensus labels from crowd-sourcing and expert surgeons. Segmentation of tasks to MPs results in the creation of the COMPASS dataset that nearly triples the amount of data for modeling and analysis and enables the generation of separate transcripts for the left and right tools. Conclusion: The proposed framework results in high quality labeling of surgical data based on context and fine-grained MPs. Modeling surgical tasks with MPs enables the aggregation of different datasets and the separate analysis of left and right hands for bimanual coordination assessment. Our formal framework and aggregate dataset can support the development of explainable and multi-granularity models for improved surgical process analysis, skill assessment, error detection, and autonomy.

description: We study the universality issue of the transverse momentum dependent parton distributions at small-x, by comparing the initial/final state interaction effects in dijet-correlation in pA collisions with those in deep inelastic lepton nucleus scattering. We demonstrate the non-universality by performing an explicit calculation in a particular model where the multiple gauge boson exchange contributions are summed up to all orders. We comment on the implications of our results on the theoretical interpretation of di-hadron correlation in dA collisions in terms of the saturation phenomena in deep inelastic lepton nucleus scattering.

Exploring the Variability of the Preposition “In” in Written Communication
Creators: name: Ahmed, Shafinaz
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2017

description: Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) has been applied to the study of second language acquisition to possibly account for the nonlinear development and variability found within second language development. Characteristics of a dynamic system that make it compatible with examining the developmental trajectory of second language acquisition include the presence of subsystems, variability, and the dependence on internal cognitive and external social and environmental resources (De Bot, Lowie, & Verspoor, 2007; Van Geert, 2008). Using a CDST perspective, this study looked at the use of the preposition in within the written communication of a native speaker of English and a non-native speaker. Three methods of data analysis-target-like use analysis, form-function analysis, and metaphor analysis-were employed to track how the use and function of the preposition in varied over time. Results indicate that an individual’s literal and conceptual engagement with and production of a language develops over time in a non-linear manner.

description: This paper presents a detailed review of the use of 87Sr/86Sr isotope systematics for wine provenance studies. The method is based on the principle that the Sr isotope ratio in wine reflects that of the labile fraction of the vineyard soil from which the wine is produced. The review encompasses 87Sr/86Sr data from wine samples published between 1993 and 2021 from terroirs in 22 different countries. The analytical procedures and techniques adopted by the different authors and the range of isotope ratios obtained in the different studies are discussed and evaluated. This study provides a bibliometric analysis of the 87Sr/86Sr isotope approach for wine authentication at different scales. Although limitations are evident when implemented at large (global) scales, we demonstrate that the 87Sr/86Sr isotope tracing technique remains a powerful and reliable tool for determining the geographical origin of wine when combined with detailed knowledge of the geological and soil characteristics of the substrata. For example, this combination of data allows the wines grown in the volcanic soils of Central and Southern Italy to be unambiguously fingerprinted. We present a detailed protocol for the application of the Sr isotope technique to wine authentication.

description: A recent experiment showed that proximity induced Ising spin-orbit coupling enhances the spin-triplet superconductivity in Bernal bilayer graphene. Here, we show that, due to the nearly perfect spin rotation symmetry of graphene, the fluctuations of the spin orientation of the triplet order parameter suppress the superconducting transition to nearly zero temperature. Our analysis shows that both Ising spin-orbit coupling and in-plane magnetic field can eliminate these low-lying fluctuations and can greatly enhance the transition temperature, consistent with the recent experiment. Our model also suggests the possible existence of a phase at small anisotropy and magnetic field which exhibits quasi-long-range ordered spin-singlet charge 4e superconductivity, even while the triplet 2e superconducting order only exhibits short-ranged correlations. Finally, we discuss relevant experimental signatures.

Exploring the Dynamism between Propositional Complexity and Error Rate: A Case Study
Creators: name: Van Horn, Jordan
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2017

description: This case study analyzed data from an asynchronous written mediated exchange between a native speaker and nonnative speaker of English. Three methods of analysis- error analysis, propositional complexity (idea units), and qualitative analysis were used to analyze learner performance over time. The results from these methods were visualized and interpreted according from Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) perspective, which allows longitudinal language production data to be interpreted from multiple perspectives so that change can be understood at both the micro and macro levels. Results from the analysis revealed patterns of linguistic change both within and between participants as they interacted over time. Several instances of continuity in language production were observed between the participants, including a drop in error rate that coincided with an increase in minor idea units during one turn of the exchange. Results from a qualitative analysis offer several explanations for this finding and are related to the implications this holds for CDST.

The reproductive phenotype of the male aromatase knockout mouse
Creators: name: Robertson, Kirsten, 1975-
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Biochemistry

description: The process of spermatogenesis involves a coordinated series of developmental events to form a mature spermatozoon capable of fertilisation from an immature spermatogonium. These maturation steps occur within the seminiferous tubules of the testis, in close communication with the supportive Sertoli cells and surrounding interstitium, and then in the epididymal ducts. This process has been well characterised with respect to androgens and gonadotrophins. Oestrogens were also recognised to be synthesised in many of these reproductive structures. Although abnormal levels of oestrogens at various stages of development were shown to result in abnormalities in spermatogenesis, suggesting the test is was a possible oestrogenic site of action, the exact role of oestrogen remained unclear. A specific and direct role for oestrogen was not unreasonable given that both oestrogen receptors, predominantly ER~, and aromatase were localised in the testis. Through gene targeting technology, models have been designed to elucidate oestrogen action, with the significance of this 'female' hormone in the process of male fertility now beginning to be realised. The model described in these studies is the aromatase knockout (ArKO) mouse. The ArKO mouse lacks a functional aromatase cytochrome P450 enzyme, thus is unable to catalyse the conversion of C 19 steroids (androgens) to CI 8 steroids (oestrogens).

description: Since its inception in the late 1960’s, the field of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) has undergone many transformations. As pre-existing theories have been expanded upon and new theories introduced, researchers and practitioners have come to a deeper understanding of the second language (L2) learning process. The past two decades, in particular, have seen a shift in the way that L2 learning is conceived. Ever since Diane Larsen-Freeman published her seminal article on complex systems and L2 development (Larsen-Freeman, 1997), the theory known as Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) has brought a new orientation into SLA discourse. Since then, researchers have transferred their attention from acquisition to development, linearity to nonlinearity, and stability to variability. It is this shift that provides the impetus for this special issue of the Teachers College Working Papers in TESOL and Applied Linguistics.

A variant of the well-known knowledge gradient acquisition function is proposed specifically to search for robust solutions, with analytic expressions for uniformly and normally distributed disturbances. An empirical evaluation on a number of test problems demonstrates that the new acquisition function outperforms alternative approaches.

description: We perform numerical studies in QCD kinetic theory to investigate the energy and angular profiles of a high energy parton - as a proxy for a jet produced heavy ion collisions - passing through a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). We find that the fast parton loses energy to the plasma mainly via a radiative turbulent gluon cascade that transport energy locally from the jet down to the temperature scale where dissipation takes place. In this first stage, the angular structure of the turbulent cascade is found to be relatively collimated. However, when the lost energy reaches the plasma temperature is it rapidly transported to large angles w.r.t. the jet axis and thermalizes. We investigate the contribution of the soft jet constituents to the total jet energy. We show that for jet opening angles of about 0.3 rad or smaller the effect is negligible. Conversely, larger opening angles become more and more sensitive to the thermal component of the jet and thus to medium response. Our result showcase the importance of the jet cone size in mitigating or enhancing the details of dissipation in jet quenching observables.

The Effects of Visual Input on Scoring a Speaking Achievement Test

description: In the assessment of aural skills of second language learners, the study of the inclusion of visual stimuli has almost exclusively been conducted in the context of listening assessment. While the inclusion of contextual information in test input has been advocated for by numerous researchers (Ockey, 2010), little has been said regarding the scoring of speaking tests, which also involves raters’ listening comprehension. This study is designed to identify the possible variation in the scoring of speaking test performance when the speech samples to be scored are presented in either audio-only or audio-visual format. A group of raters were first asked to score a set of audio-only speech samples from an achievement speaking test consisting of one monologic task through an online platform. Weeks later, they scored the same samples presented in audio-visual format. Scores from both scoring sessions were compared. Findings suggest that the inclusion of visual stimuli may not result in significant effects on assigned scores or internal consistency. Yet, given the raters’ reported preference of using the audio-visual format, the study results call for further exploration of the positive effects of delivery methods on rater effect.

description: Despite the freedom Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers when manufacturing organic shapes, it still requires some geometrical criteria to avoid a part's collapse during printing. The most synergetic design approach to AM is Topology Optimization (TO), which finds an optimal free-form given mechanical constraints. However, it is hard for TO to integrate these layout geometry-related constraints and it seldom proposes printable shapes. Therefore, this work leverages the Deep Learning (DL) capability to handle spatial correlations within the mechanical design process by integrating the layout and mechanical constraints at the conceptual level. It proposes a DL-layout-driven solution (DL-TO) trained via a triple-discriminator Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework. The DL-TO's performance is demonstrated by generating mechanically valid 2D designs conforming with layout constraints in a fraction of a second. DL-TO's creativity is illustrated by its capability to generate designs with unseen input constraints (passive/active elements) and to propose several shapes for the same input mechanical constraints, a task that is hard for a traditional TO to achieve.

description: In efforts to scale the size of quantum computers, modularity plays a central role across most quantum computing technologies. In the light of fault tolerance, this necessitates designing quantum error-correcting codes that are compatible with the connectivity arising from the architectural layouts. In this paper, we aim to bridge this gap by giving a novel way to view and construct quantum LDPC codes tailored for modular architectures. We demonstrate that if the intra- and inter-modular qubit connectivity can be viewed as corresponding to some classical or quantum LDPC codes, then their hypergraph product code fully respects the architectural connectivity constraints. Finally, we show that relaxed connectivity constraints that allow twists of connections between modules pave a way to construct codes with better parameters.

description: The main objective of this work is to investigate the role played by Lower Centaurus Crux (LCC) and Upper Centaurus Lupus (UCL), both subcomponents of the Scorpio Centaurus OB association (Sco-Cen), in the formation of the groups beta Pictoris, TW Hydrae and the eta Chamaeleontis cluster. The dynamical evolution of all the stellar groups involved and of the bubbles and shells blown by LCC and UCL are calculated and followed from the past to the present. This leads to a formation scenario in which (1) the groups beta Pictoris, TW Hydrae were formed in the wake of the shells created by LCC and UCL, (2) the young cluster eta Chamaeleontis was born as a consequence of the collision of the shells of LCC and UCL, and (3) the formation of Upper Scorpius (US), the other main subcomponent of the Sco-Cen association, may have been started by the same process that created eta Chamaeleontis.

description: CoO2 is the parent compound for the superconductor NaxCoO2\cdot1.3H2O and was widely believed to be a Mott insulator. We performed 59Co nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies on LixCoO2 (x = 0.35, 0.25, 0.12, and 0.0) to uncover the electronic state and spin correlations in this series of compounds which was recently obtained through electrochemical de-intercalation of Li from pristine LiCoO2. We find that although the antiferromagnetic spin correlations systematically increase with decreasing Li-content (x), the end member, CoO2 is a non-correlated metal that well satisfies the Korringa relation for a Fermi liquid. Thus, CoO2 is not simply located at the limit of x->0 for AxCoO2 (A = Li, Na) compounds. The disappearance of the electron correlations in CoO2 is due to the three dimensionality of the compound which is in contrast to the highly two dimensional structure of AxCoO2.

Positive Feedback Loops: Sarcasm and the Pseudo-Argument in Reddit Communities
Creators: name: Mueller, Christopher
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2016

description: When it comes to modes of communication, sarcasm may be most commonly associated with the angst-ridden adolescent or rebellious teenager. While the use of sarcasm is certainly not exclusive to these communities, such a comparison may not be entirely without reason. Etymologically, the word 'sarcasm' is derived from the Greek sarkazein, meaning “to speak bitterly or sneer”, or, more literally, “to tear flesh” (“sarcasm,” 2014). Sarcasm, then, is far from a benign feature of language, and there appears to be an inherent acerbity, or even a note of provocation, located within. Indeed, sarcasm has been referred to in research in terms such as “jocular aggression” (Pogrebin & Poole, 1988, p. 192) or “humorous aggression” (Ducharme, 1994, p. 51). This does not mean it is rarely or fastidiously used, however. In spite of any innate or perceived aggression, sarcasm is, in fact, quite a common feature in spoken discourse. In this paper, I hope to offer a descriptive analysis of sarcasm as produced in an exclusively digital space, as well as bring attention to a novel use of sarcasm specific to this environment: sarcasm used as a pseudo-argument.
