description: Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is the variable radio, near-infrared (NIR), and X-ray source associated with accretion onto the Galactic center black hole. We have analyzed a comprehensive submillimeter (including new observations simultaneous with NIR monitoring), NIR, and 2-8 keV dataset. Submillimeter variations tend to lag those in the NIR by $\sim$30 minutes. An approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) fit to the X-ray first-order structure function shows significantly less power at short timescales in the X-rays than in the NIR. Less X-ray variability at short timescales combined with the observed NIR-X-ray correlations means the variability can be described as the result of two strictly correlated stochastic processes, the X-ray process being the low-pass-filtered version of the NIR process. The NIR--X-ray linkage suggests a simple radiative model: a compact, self-absorbed synchrotron sphere with high-frequency cutoff close to NIR frequencies plus a synchrotron self-Compton scattering component at higher frequencies. This model, with parameters fit to the submillimeter, NIR, and X-ray structure functions, reproduces the observed flux densities at all wavelengths, the statistical properties of all light curves, and the time lags between bands. The fit also gives reasonable values for physical parameters such as magnetic flux density $B\approx13$ G, source size $L \approx2.2R_{S}$, and high-energy electron density $n_{e}\approx4\times10^{7}$ cm$^{-3}$. An animation illustrates typical light curves, and we make public the parameter chain of our Bayesian analysis, the model implementation, and the visualization code.

Velocity dependence of atomic-scale friction: a comparative study of the one- and two-dimensional Tomlinson model
Creators: name: Fusco, C.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Other Condensed Matter (cond-mat.other)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a comparative analysis of the velocity dependence of atomic-scale friction for the Tomlinson model, at zero and finite temperatures, in 1D and 2D, and for different values of the damping. Combining analytical arguments with numerical simulations, we show that an appreciable velocity dependence of the kinetic friction force $F_{fric}$, for small scanning velocities $v_s$ (from 1 nm/s to 2 $μ$m/s), is inherent in the Tomlinson model. In the absence of thermal fluctuations in the stick-slip regime, it has the form of a power-law, $F_{fric}-F_0\propto v_s^β$ with $β=2/3$, irrespective of dimensionality and value of the damping. Since thermal fluctuations enhance the velocity dependence of friction, we provide guidelines to establish when thermal effects are important and to which extent the surface corrugation affects the velocity dependence.

description: We present some applications of the deformation theory of toric Fano varieties to K-(semi/poly)stability of Fano varieties. First, we present two examples of K-polystable toric Fano 3-fold with obstructed deformations. In one case, the K-moduli spaces and stacks are reducible near the closed point associated to the toric Fano 3-fold, while in the other they are non-reduced near the closed point associated to the toric Fano 3-fold. Second, we study K-stability of the general members of two deformation families of smooth Fano 3-folds by building degenerations to K-polystable toric Fano 3-folds.

Graduate Students’ in Education Knowledge and Perception of Autism Spectrum Disorder, Social Interventions, and Their Uses
Creators: name: Woodruff, Alycia J.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The purpose of this study was to determine graduate students’ in education (n = 46) familiarity with and perception of the effectiveness of a variety of social interventions used with students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The measurement tool was a self-report survey designed for this study. Results are reported descriptively. Most of the respondents had limited experience with autism. Direct teaching was the most commonly used intervention and was also selected most often as the most effective intervention by the participants. Group-based instruction and Social Stories were selected second and third most frequently as the most effective intervention. However, since respondents had limited experience working with students with autism spectrum disorder and were unfamiliar with many of the social interventions listed, effectiveness ratings were likely influenced by familiarity. Although a variety of interventions were reported to be effective, there were also reported limitations to the interventions, including lack of resources, generalizability, and time. A variety of social skill behaviors can be addressed with social interventions including increasing prosocial behaviors and decreasing aggression. Implications and ideas for future research are discussed.

The Effect of Focused Attention Span on Overall Academic Achievement

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: This study focused on the effect of in-class exercise prior to a lesson on first graders’
attention span. The null hypothesis was that exercise would not significantly alter the
student’s ability to maintain a longer attention span during the subsequent lesson. The
subjects in this study were eight first grade students, six boys and two girls. Four of the
boys were Caucasian; two were African American. One of the girls was Caucasian and
the other was African American. Tallies were used to collect data through in-class
observation of predetermined “off-task” behaviors, including calling out, getting out of
their seat, talking to a neighbor, etc. Data was then compared between the lesson
observed following a class-led exercise break and the lesson observed without exercise
implemented at any point. The null hypothesis was rejected and the findings concluded
that class-led exercise prior to a lesson did significantly reduce students’ observed “offtask”
behaviors.

Clarifying ultrafast carrier dynamics in ultrathin films of the topological insulator Bi2Se3 using transient absorption spectroscopy

description: Ultrafast carrier dynamics in the topological insulator Bi2Se3 have recently been intensively studied using a variety of techniques. However, we are not aware of any successful experiments exploiting transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy for these purposes. Here we demonstrate that if the ~730 nm wavelength pumping (~1.7 eV photon energy) is applied to ultrathin Bi2Se3 films, TA spectra cover the entire visible region, thus unambiguously pointing to two-photon excitation (~3.4 eV). The carrier relaxation dynamics is found to be governed by the polar optical phonon cascade emission occurring in both the bulk states and the Dirac surface states (SS), including SS-bulk-SS vertical electron transport and being also exclusively influenced by whether the Dirac point is presented between the Dirac cones of the higher energy (~1.5 eV) Dirac SS (known as SS2). We have recognized that SS2 act as a valve substantially slowing down the relaxation of electrons when the gap between Dirac cones exceeds the polar optical phonon and resonant defects energies. The resulting progressive accumulation of electrons in the gapped SS2 becomes detectable through the inverse bremsstrahlung type free carrier absorption.
Tapestry of resilient lives : socio-cultural explorations of ten Vietnamese inner-city youths
Creators: name: Phan, Tan Thi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Traditional psychological research on resilience has focused on individual traits and abilities and minimized the role of cultural and socio-political contexts in its analyses. In this tapestry, I use a narrative framework to learn about ten Vietnamese refugee youths, who have received university scholarships to attend university, but whose life chances would otherwise be considered, at high risk of failure because of their race, ethnic, and income status. I also interviewed their parents. Their narratives are discussed in the light of historical, cultural and social contexts in which they live and learn. In reporting the students' life stories, I use the concepts of "dance of life " that takes place within a context of shared human stories. The parents' endurance, struggles, and hopes accumulated over generations, become a story of collective resiliency. This story provides the informative thread for a collaborative weaving of the students' "dance of life" in which the children's individual responsibility for their academic (achievements. For the refugees academic resilience is a pervasive individual and collective experience, rooted in the distortions of social relations and the disruptions of community life that are the product of an oppressive society. Resiliency becomes the common "process" of participation open to all individuals, and conjoins deep personal meaning and shared common purpose. Thus, academic achievement is seen by the refugees as an effective instrument of empowerment and liberation for the entire family, community, and the hope for the future The self as narrated by these students orchestrates a dance between and among themselves within a family, a community, and across generations. The students' achievement is motivated by a debt of love and gratitude to those members of the family achievement is motivated by a debt of love and gratitude to those members of the family and the community to which they belong. Students stated that through their own efforts and the "right attitudes" they could reach their goals in school and break down the barriers of discrimination. They reported growing closer and more emotionally dependent on their parents over time. They struggled more with how to have and maintain satisfying peer relationships without becoming independent from their parents. This study opens a door to the discussion of socio-cultural perspectives that may partially explain previously reported outcomes of high achievement among Vietnamese refugee youths, despite their humble origins and their parents' low level of in come and education.

description: Most retail food firms adhere to traditional human resources management practices, with employees enjoying little involvement in decision-making and little participation in company financial returns. More than one tenth of non-food firms have innovative human resources systems, with much individual and group involvement in decision-making and financial returns, but only a minuscule proportion of food firms have such systems. At the other end of the spectrum, more than one-fifth of food stores and eating and drinking places (and nearly one-third of food wholesale firms) have traditional systems, as compared to only one-tenth of non-food firms. The tasks and the human resource practices typical of retail food firms are consistent with each other. Core employees in these firms perform tasks that are generally simpler and less variable than those in other industries, and the firms' human resource practices generally give workers less autonomy and incentives than those in other industries. Whether the structure and variability of tasks are the result of a particular business strategy or adoption of a certain technology is not known. Which came first, these simple tasks, the workers who perform them, or these human resource policies is similarly unknown. We arrive at these conclusions through analysis of an original data set composed of 806 Minnesota firms, including 211 food firms, which allows us to characterize the change in human resource practices since the early 1980s, and to examine differences in the organization of work across companies. Work organization and human resource practices in the retail food industry have changed substantially, although the change has been less pronounced than in most other industries.

The Effects of Self-Selected Reading on the Reading Comprehension Level of Children of Poverty in an Eleventh Grade Classroom
Creators: name: Whitley, Brian
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether monitored, self-selected reading would affect the reading achievement of 11th grade children of poverty. The measurement tool was the reading comprehension portion of the Accuplacer Test taken online. This study was a quasi-experimental design that involved the use of a pretest/posttest strategy to compare data over an eight-week period of intervention. Achievement gains were significant, although other factors may have impacted the results. More research into implementing this low-cost intervention for students of poverty should be investigated as the need to prepare students for the rigors of college becomes more important as more and more jobs are now requiring higher levels of education.
Bremsstrahlung neutrinos from electron-electron scattering in a relativistic degenerate electron plasma

description: We present a calculation of neutrino pair bremsstrahlung due to electron-electron scattering in a relativistic degenerate plasma of electrons. Proper treatment of the in-medium photon propagator, i.e., inclusion of Debye screening of the longitudinal part and Landau damping of the transverse part, leads to a neutrino emissivity which is several orders of magnitude larger than when Debye screening is imposed for the tranverse part. Our results show that this in-medium process can compete with other sources of neutrino radiation and can, in some cases, even be the dominant neutrino emission mechanism. We also discuss the natural extension to quark-quark bremsstrahlung in gapped and ungapped quark matter.

description: The demand for natural foods has been growing steadily over the past decade. As more mainstream grocers and investor-owned, natural food chains respond to this increased demand, the viability of local, independent natural food co-ops (TCNFCs) was used to assess organizational options. The study employed a customer survey to determine characteristics and preferences of co-op shoppers. The survey results were used in conjunction with a schema that analyzed the interaction among market forces, store differences, and customer factors to make recommendations to the TCNFCs. This analysis suggests that in the short run, these stores should employ a federated cooperative structure to accommodate a city-wide co-op membership and increase joint ventures among the co-ops. In the long run, the scale and scope of the federated co-op should be increased to enter new markets as a centralized co-op.
How merger-driven gas motions in galaxy clusters can turn AGN bubbles into radio relics

description: Radio relics in galaxy clusters are extended synchrotron sources produced by cosmic-ray electrons in the $μ$G magnetic field. Many relics are found in the cluster periphery and have a cluster-centric, narrow arc-like shape, which suggests that the electrons are accelerated or re-accelerated by merger shock fronts propagating outward in the intracluster plasma. In the X-ray, some relics do exhibit such shocks at the location of the relic, but many do not. We explore the possibility that radio relics trace not the shock fronts but the shape of the underlying distribution of seed relativistic electrons, lit up by a recent shock passage. We use magnetohydrodynamic simulations of cluster mergers and include bubbles of relativistic electrons injected by jets from the central AGN or from an off-center radio galaxy. We show that the merger-driven gas motions (a) can advect the bubble cosmic rays to very large radii, and (b) spread the relativistic seed electrons preferentially in tangential direction -- along the gravitational equipotential surfaces -- producing extended, filamentary or sheet-like regions of intracluster plasma enriched with aged cosmic rays, which resemble radio relics. Once a shock front passes across such a region, the sharp radio emission edges would trace the sharp boundaries of these enriched regions rather than the front. We also show that these elongated cosmic ray features are naturally associated with magnetic fields stretched tangentially along their long axis, which could help explain the high polarization of relics.

In the non-degenerate case ($δ\neq 0$) we describe all homogeneous $3$-$(α,δ)$-Sasaki manifolds fibering over symmetric Wolf spaces (case $αδ> 0$) and over their the noncompact dual symmetric spaces (case $αδ< 0$). If $αδ> 0$, this yields a complete classification of homogeneous $3$-$(α,δ)$-Sasaki manifolds; for $αδ< 0$, we provide a general construction of homogeneous $3$-$(α,δ)$-Sasaki manifolds fibering over nonsymmetric Alekseevsky spaces, the lowest possible dimension of such a manifold being $19$.

description: We present results from a 34 ks Chandra/ACIS-S observation of the nearby (d=3.1 Mpc) lenticular galaxy NGC 5102, previously shown to have an unusually low X-ray luminosity. We detect eleven X-ray point sources within the the $D_{25}$ optical boundary of the galaxy (93% of the light), one third to one half of which are likely to be background AGN. One source is coincident with the optical nucleus and may be a low-luminosity AGN. Only two sources with an X-ray luminosity greater than 10$^{37}$ ergs s$^{-1}$ in the 0.5-5.0 keV band were detected, one of which is statistically likely to be a background AGN. We expected to detect 6 such luminous sources if the XRB population scales linearly with optical magnitude of the host galaxy. NGC 5102 has an unusually low number of XRBs. NGC 5102 is unusually blue for its morphological type, and has undergone at least two recent bursts of star formation. We present the results of optical/UV spectral synthesis analysis and demonstrate that a significant fraction ($>$50%) of the stars in this galaxy are comparatively young ($<3\times10^9$ years old). If the lack of X-ray binaries is related to the relative youth of most of the stars, this would support models of LMXB formation and evolution that require wide binaries to shed angular momentum on a timescale of Gyrs. We find that NGC 5102 has an unusually low specific frequency of globular clusters ($S_N\sim$0.4), which could also explain the lack of LMXBs. We also detect diffuse X-ray emission in the central $\sim$1 kpc of the galaxy. This hot gas is most likely a superbubble created by multiple supernovae of massive stars born during the most recent star burst, and is driving the shock into the ISM which was inferred from optical observations.

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository

Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The purpose of this study was to compare reading performance among third, fourth, and fifth grade students who participated in instrumental music instruction with performance of those who did not participate in instrumental music instruction. The measurement tool for reading performance was the Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment, 2nd edition. This study used a pretest/posttest design to compare reading level data from October 2013 to reading level data from May 2014 for students participating or not participating in instrumental music instruction. Students participating in band and strings performed significantly better than those who did not, though results could be attributable to a number of factors. Research in the area of music instruction’s benefits to reading performance should continue to better determine the amount and type of instruction that is most useful as well as the specific ways in which music can improve student performance.

description: Localizing the sky position of the gravitational wave source is a key scientific goal for gravitational wave observations. Employing the Fisher information matrix approximation, we compute the angular resolutions of LISA and TianQin, two planned space-based gravitational wave detectors and examine how detectors' configuration properties, such as the orientation change of the detector plane, heliocentric or geocentric motion and the arm length etc. affect the accuracy of source localization. We find that the amplitude modulation due to the annual changing orientation of the detector plane helps LISA get better accuracy in the sky localization and better sky coverage at frequencies below several mHz, and its effect on TianQin is negligible although the orientation of TianQin's detector plane is fixed. At frequencies above roughly 30mHz, TianQin's ability in the sky localization is better than LISA. Further we explore potential space detector networks for fast and accurate localization of the gravitational wave sources. The LISA-TianQin network has better ability in sky localization for sources with frequencies in the range 1-100 mHz and the network has larger sky coverage for the angular resolution than the individual detector.

description: Seven serious obstacles hinder the success of mass market grocery stores that try to succeed in the natural foods market. Finding timely and complete market information, linking with natural foods suppliers, and pricing and marketing natural foods are the three most important. Uncertainty about future standards for natural foods is the only major obstacle for natural foods stores. The problems facing mass market stores trying to succeed in the natural foods market are related to the market structure for natural food, to compatibility between standard operating procedures in the mass market and natural foods market, and to inadequate data collection about prices and other market characteristics. The problem for natural food stores is due to policy, primarily the lack of strong standards for natural foods. In the survey that forms the basis for these conclusions, almost half of mass market retailers had increased the scale of their natural foods operations and diversified their natural foods offerings. But few were satisfied with the degree of success of this approach. More successful strategies included developing labels (i.e. brands) for natural foods and hiring special staff for natural foods. These strategies are uncommon among mass market stores. Natural foods retailers tried them more often. Both mass market and natural foods retailers considered these strategies to be successful. How can mass market retailers overcome the obstacles they face and take advantage of the opportunities that the natural foods market provides? One key requirement for a healthy market is consumer confidence. There are two steps that mass market retailers can take to bolster consumer confidence. First, they can work to ensure that the natural foods in their stores are consistent with the standards that natural foods consumers demand. Second, they can make the effort to incorporate the concepts behind the natural foods movement into their strategic planning (e.g. adding organic product promotions to advertising plans, and by taking account of the environmental implications of their own operations). In addition, by working in concert with other retailers, trade organizations and appropriate non-profit organizations and governmental agencies, mass market retailers can help create a healthy business environment for natural foods in the long term.

description: We study spectral properties of quasiparticles in the Kondo lattice model in one and two dimensions including the coherent quasiparticle dispersions, their spectral weights and the full two-quasiparticle spectrum using a cluster expansion scheme. We investigate the evolution of the quasiparticle band as antiferromagnetic correlations are enhanced towards the RKKY limit of the model. In both the 1D and the 2D model we find that a repulsive interaction between quasiparticles results in a distinct antibound state above the two-quasiparticle continuum. The repulsive interaction is correlated with the emerging antiferromagnetic correlations and can therefore be associated with spin fluctuations. On the square lattice, the antibound state has an extended s-wave symmetry.

description: Room-temperature optical constants of crystalline Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ were determined using data extracted from Brillouin light scattering spectra. Optical extinction coefficient-to-refractive index ratios at a wavelength of 532 nm were obtained from bulk phonon peak linewidth and frequency shift measurements and range from $0.19 \leq 2κ/n \leq 0.29$ for directions close to the crystallographic $c$-axis. These ratios, and optical extinction coefficients, absorption coefficients, and imaginary parts of the dielectric function determined from these ratios and known refractive index, are in general agreement with values found in optical reflectance studies, but are 5-7 times larger than those extracted from optical interference measurements.

description: Using two methods we show that a quantized discrete breather in a 1-D lattice is stable. One method uses path integrals and compares correlations for a (linear) local mode with those of the quantum breather. The other takes a local mode as the zeroth order system relative to which numerical, cutoff-insensitive diagonalization of the Hamiltonian is performed.

description: The ideal anti-Zeno effect means that a perpetual observation leads to an immediate disappearance of the unstable system. We present a straightforward way to derive sufficient conditions under which such a situation occurs expressed in terms of the decaying states and spectral properties of the Hamiltonian. They show, in particular, that the gap between Zeno and anti-Zeno effects is in fact very narrow.

description: A federally regulated open dating system on food products, instead of the current somewhat random and non-uniform state mandated system, would most likely benefit today's consumers, retailers, and government agencies. Consumers have indicated a strong desire for open dates; it would enhance their ability to make educated choices about the freshness of the foods they consume. A mandatory/uniform system would also assist retail grocers with stock rotation, so that customers can be provided with the best products available. Finally, federal open dating regulations across state borders would lessen burdens on interstate commerce. The potential benefits of this dating system outweigh the opposing points-of-view. The purpose of this research is to illustrate and discuss the current practices and regulations regarding open dating of food. Included in this study are the current federal and state regulations. Fifty-nine percent of the states (including the District of Columbia) currently mandate some sort of open dating on food products. The regulations vary on a state-by-state basis from mandatory dating of all perishable foods to open dating on a completely voluntary basis. While most consumers want to see open dates, educating them about what the dates mean is necessary but currently not being done. A major disadvantage of an open dating system is that it may be deceiving if the food is not properly handled, i.e. the date is based on some average storage condition. There are many modes of food deterioration, and most are dependent on a time- temperature interdependence. This research acknowledges that open dating of food is useful as a guide to the end of shelf-life, but its regulated implementation used in conjunction with time- temperature integrators is a more dependable indicator of freshness and safety for the consumer.

A variational framework for the strain-smoothed element method

description: This paper is devoted to a rigorous mathematical foundation for the convergence properties of the strain-smoothed element (SSE) method. The SSE method has demonstrated improved convergence behaviors compared to other strain smoothing methods through various numerical examples; however, there has been no theoretical evidence for the convergence behavior. A unique feature of the SSE method is the construction of smoothed strain fields within elements by fully unifying the strains of adjacent elements. Owing to this feature, convergence analysis is required, which is different from other existing strain smoothing methods. In this paper, we first propose a novel mixed variational principle wherein the SSE method can be interpreted as a Galerkin approximation of that. The proposed variational principle is a generalization of the well-known Hu--Washizu variational principle; thus, various existing strain smoothing methods can be expressed in terms of the proposed variational principle. With a unified view of the SSE method and other existing methods through the proposed variational principle, we analyze the convergence behavior of the SSE method and explain the reason for the improved performance compared to other methods. We also present numerical experiments that support our theoretical results.

Larger Sparse Quadratic Assignment Problem Optimization Using Quantum Annealing and a Bit-Flip Heuristic Algorithm

description: Quantum annealing and D-Wave quantum annealer attracted considerable attention for their ability to solve combinatorial optimization problems. In order to solve other type of optimization problems, it is necessary to apply certain kinds of mathematical transformations. However, linear constraints reduce the size of problems that can be represented in quantum annealers, owing to the sparseness of connections between qubits. For example, the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) with linear equality constraints can be solved only up to size 12 in the quantum annealer D-Wave Advantage, which has 5640 qubits. To overcome this obstacle, Ohzeki developed a method for relaxing the linear equality constraints and numerically verified the effectiveness of this method with some target problems, but others remain unsolvable. In particular, it is difficult to obtain feasible solutions to problems with hard constraints, such as the QAP. We therefore propose a method for solving the QAP with quantum annealing by applying a post-processing bit-flip heuristic algorithm to solutions obtained by the Ohzeki method. In a numerical experiment, we solved a sparse QAP by the proposed method. This sparse QAP has been used in areas such as item listing on an E-commerce website. We successfully solved a QAP of size 19 with high accuracy for the first time using D-Wave Advantage. We also confirmed that the bit-flip heuristic algorithm moves infeasible solutions to nearby feasible solutions in terms of Hamming distance with good computational efficiency.
