Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The trajectories of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) in an Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) exhibiting large-scale fluctuations due to footpoint motions originating in the photosphere, are simulated using a full-orbit test-particle code. The cross-field transport experienced by the particles in three propagation conditions (scatter-free, with scattering mean free path lambda=0.3 AU and lambda=2 AU) is characterized in the Parker spiral geometry. The role of expansion of the magnetic field with radial distance from the Sun is taken into consideration in the calculation of particle displacements and diffusion coefficients from the output of the simulations. It is found that transport across the magnetic field is enhanced in the lambda=0.3 AU and lambda=2 AU cases, compared to the scatter-free case. Values of the ratios of perpendicular to parallel diffusion coefficients vary between 0.01 and 0.08. The ratio of latitudinal to longitudinal diffusion coefficient perpendicular to the magnetic field is typically 0.2, suggesting that transport in latitude may be less efficient.

description: In this chapter, Freedberg sets out to establish a more rigorous basis for the understanding of empathy, and proposes a novel hypothesis about the neural substrate of judgment. After discussing the history of empathy in aesthetic theory and the frequently ambiguous conceptualizations of aesthetic judgment within cognitive neuroscience of art, he confines empathy to the domain of motor responses. Moving on to examine the role of immediate and automatic bodily reactions both in the perception of visual images and in aesthetic response, he emphasizes the precognitive dimension of empathy and its place in the understanding of such responses. He distinguishes empathy from sympathy by assessing the degree of cognitive content of each. Finally, he shows how these positions enable a new neural theory of aesthetic judgment predicated on the modulation of bottom-up responses, the ensual of self-awareness, and the detachment from absorption essential for judgment.

description: The size of the Nigerian construction industry relatively small as compared to other sectors of the economy. In 2008, the industry made up to 0.2% of the value of the global construction industry which was about $3.15bn. It also out grown some other sectors with an impressive percentage of 12.1% despite the fact that its growth is directly and indirectly linked to the government expenditure on infrastructure in 2005. The quantity surveyors as a chartered professionals are not left out in this trends of emerging development. The profession has evolved from been a craft to a well-respected profession today. The contribution and services offered by quantity surveyors in the construction processes are increasing rapidly in scope and size. The expectations chain of quantity surveyors have also increased in length as a result of introduction of modern technologies, complicated client, and emergence of new rules and regulations. Therefore, in order to remain active and maintain a competitive edge among other professionals, quantity surveyors need to diversify their contributions and services towards the success of any construction activities in the industry. Today, quantity surveying profession is now encroaching into various fields and roles such as Implementation of ICT to solve practical problems, Investment appraisal, Risk analysis, Value management, Environmental services, Sub-contract administration, Valuation for insurance purpose, Technical Auditing, Insolvency services, Project Management, Administering Maintenance programmes, Advice on contractual dispute, Parametric estimating, Planning and Supervision, etc. This article examines the emerging development in the construction industry and the place of a quantity surveyor in Nigeria’s construction industry.

description: We present a detailed in-situ Raman analysis of stage-1 KC8, CaC6, and LiC6 graphite intercalation compounds (GIC) to unravel their intrinsic finger print. Four main components were found between 1200 cm-1 and 1700 cm-1, and each of them were assigned to a corresponding vibrational mode. From a detailed line shape analysis of the intrinsic Fano-lines of the G- and D-line response we precisely determine the position (ωph), line width (Γph) and asymmetry (q) from each component. The comparison to the theoretical calculated line width and position of each component allow us to extract the electron-phonon coupling constant of these compounds. A coupling constant λph < 0.06 was obtained. This highlights that Raman active modes alone are not sufficient to explain the superconductivity within the electron-phonon coupling mechanism in CaC6 and KC8.

description: The significant advancements and breakthroughs achieved in Machine Learning (ML) have revolutionized the field of Computer Vision (CV), where numerous real-world applications are now utilizing state-of-the-art advancements in the field. Advanced video surveillance and analytics, entertainment, and autonomous vehicles are a few examples that rely heavily on reliable and accurate perception systems. Deep learning usage in Computer Vision has come a long way since it sparked in 2012 with the introduction of Alexnet. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have evolved to become more accurate and reliable. This is attributed to the advancements in GPU parallel processing, and to the recent availability of large scale and high quality annotated datasets that allow the training of complex models. However, ML models can only be as good as the data they train on and the data they receive in production. In real-world environments, a perception system often needs to be able to operate in different environments and conditions (weather, lighting, obstructions, etc.). As such, it is imperative for a perception system to utilize information from different types of sensors to mitigate the limitations of individual sensors. In this dissertation, we focus on studying the efficacy of using thermal sensors to enhance the robustness of perception systems. We focus on two common vision tasks: object detection and multiple object tracking. Through our work, we prove the viability of thermal sensors as a complement, and in some scenarios a replacement, to RGB cameras. For their important applications in autonomous vehicles and surveillance, we focus our research on pedestrian and vehicle perception. We also introduce the world's first (to the best of our knowledge) large scale dataset for pedestrian detection and tracking including thermal and corresponding RGB images.
Network power : the Carrefour event, civil society and the lack of democratic development in China
Creators: name: Hauck, Byron Rigel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The Chinese Communist Party regularly instructs owners and purveyors of mass media in China on topics it views as sensitive. In a recent general notice, media were notified that they were not to use the term „civil society‟ as it was unacceptable for people to stand in opposition to the government. At the same time American sociologists, such as Yang Guobin, have identified the development of civil society movements as a consequence of the wide-spread use of information communication technology (ICT) in China. The identified civil society is argued to be part of a teleological socio-political movement towards democracy as it represents plurality in public political discourse and rights defense. By documenting the general content and implications of the high public presence during the 2008 patriotic debate over the boycott of Carrefour the social role of civil society in China will be brought into question. This argument adds to the current debate over Internet enabled civil society in China by rejecting the claim that the Internet has helped to establish new practices; the Internet merely eases and speeds up what people do in daily life. Rather than investigating a single association (of boycotters) and its one-on-one relationship with the state, this research focuses on the public environment that enables citizen mobilizations to occur, inter-public relations during the formation of new associations (such as the boycotters), and the result of civil society goal seeking when it runs counter to the government‟s publicity. The presented evidence indicates that the political importance of civil society practice in China is not a social trajectory towards the establishment of democratic practices, but rather a more general shift in the struggle between empowered groups in the public and the state to dictate social norms.
Developing Mental Health Laws in Ghana, Kenya, and Zambia

description: Mental health has become a national health priority in the West; however, it is still an overlooked issue in most African countries. Sixty-four percent of African countries do not have any mental health legislations or fail to adequately promote the rights of people diagnosed with mental illnesses (Mental Health and Poverty Project & World Health Organization, n.d). As a direct consequence, individuals with mental illnesses in African nations often do not receive adequate treatment. This review evaluates the barriers of appropriate development and implementation of mental health laws in Ghana, Kenya, and Zambia. Legislative actions that have been taken in these three countries will be examined in an effort to improve mental health laws, via an analysis of strengths and areas of improvement. Through these analyses, the author hopes to raise awareness about legislations in Africa regarding mental health issues, build a stronger path towards comprehensive mental health laws, and work towards the effective provision of treatment for people with mental health issues in Ghana, Kenya, Zambia, and the rest of the African continent.
Preventing the Re-Traumatization of Individuals who are Arrested for Prostitution by Implementing Trauma-Informed Practices in the Criminal Justice System

description: Most literature suggests that at least half of those who engage in prostitution have a history of physical or sexual abuse. Individuals who have experienced trauma are constantly re-traumatized during their sex work. Standard procedures used in arrests of people engaging in prostitution can have profoundly triggering effects on individuals with histories of trauma. To reduce re-traumatization and promote rehabilitation, it is critical to create trauma-informed practices within law enforcement and the criminal justice system to better serve individuals arrested for prostitution. Specific trauma-informed training for law enforcement officers and legal counsel staff who work with people charged with prostitution can be created using components from several existing trauma-specific models which this paper will address in detail.

description: According to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (2014), approximately 50,821 adolescents are held in residential placement facilities on any given day in the United States. Data suggests that about 20% of these adolescents suffer from mental health issues (Shelton, et al., 2011). This paper reviewed studies of three different group work-based treatment interventions: mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and dialectical-behavioral therapy. The analysis will examine whether these interventions can effectively reduce maladaptive cognitions and decrease self-destructive behaviors, and whether they can be applied to adolescents aged 12-19 in correctional settings. Five studies met inclusion criteria; however, due to limitations including small sample sizes, a lack of follow up, a variety of behaviors being measured, and a range of different types of skills groups, several were excluded. For the purposes of this review, the term “residential setting” will refer to correctional settings, inpatient psychiatric settings, and residential settings, and the terms “youth,” “juveniles,” and “adolescents,” will be used interchangeably.

description: We present basic informations about package SPHOTOM for an automatic multicolour photometry. This package is in development for a creation of photometric pipe-line, which we plan to use in near future with our new instruments. It could operate in two independent modes, (i) GUI mode, in which user can select images and control functions of package through interface and (ii) command line mode, in which all processes are controlled using a main parameter file. SPHOTOM is developed as an universal package for Linux based systems with easy implementation for different observatories. Photometric part of package is based on Sextrator code, what allow us to detect all objects on the images and perform their photometry with different apertures. We can also perform astrometric solution for all images for a correct cross-identification of the stars on the images. The result is a catalogue of all objects with their instrumental photometric measurements which are consequently used for a differential magnitudes calculations with one ore more comparison stars, transformations to international system and colour indices determinations.

description: Abstract or Description: England and the United States provide a very interesting pairing as countries with many similarities, but also instructive dissimilarities, with respect to their policies for higher education access and success. The purpose of this paper is to explore these similarities and dissimilarities with an eye to what each country can learn from the other with regard to reducing social class and racial/ethnic differences in higher education access and success. We focus on seven policy strands affecting higher education access and completion: student information provision; outreach from higher education institutions; student financial aid; affirmative action or contextualisation in higher education admissions; higher education efforts to improve retention and completion; performance funding; and degree of reliance on sub-baccalaureate institutions. While not exhaustive, this list of interventions is meant to focus on key policies affecting the undergraduate student experience and to give a sense of their range. We explore possible lessons that England and the United States might draw from each other’s experiences, mindful of the dangers of uncritical “policy tourism”. In the case of the United States, we note why and how it might benefit from following England in the use of Access Agreements to govern the outreach efforts of its universities, making more use of income-contingent loans, and expanding the range of information provided to prospective college students about the programmes and institutions they are considering. Meanwhile, in the case of England, we examine how it might benefit from greater focus on the role of further education colleges, sceptical consideration of proposals to make greater use of for-profit higher education, greater use of grant aid in its financial aid system, more policy attention to decisions students are making in primary and early secondary school that affect their preparation for higher education, greater use of contextualised admissions, and very careful consideration of the possible downsides of performance funding.

description: As legal education undergoes significant changes with regard to both student enrollment and faculty hiring, the fight to keep law faculty tenure is at the forefront. But the focus on tenure should be about the standards themselves. A better approach would be to change tenure requirements to create a more just and inclusive set of standards and criteria for evaluation. This Article draws from the first systematic, comprehensive, mixed-method empirical law faculty diversity study to investigate how challenges in the classroom and bias in teaching evaluations affect female law faculty of color. The in-depth interviews of female law faculty of color are systematically analyzed using Atlas.ti software, finding that students directly challenge particular faculty in class, sometimes through verbal and even physical abuse, and write insensitive and irrelevant race- and gender-based comments on anonymous teaching evaluations. These encounters often have negative effects on the professional trajectory of women of color law professors, most notably when these individuals seek promotion and tenure. Instead of supporting these discriminatory barriers to advancement, legal institutions should do away with student evaluations altogether, modify them, or supplement them with more rigorous and less discriminatory forms of evaluation. This is the way to fight bias in teaching evaluations.

description: relating to many different issues, including race, gender, sex, sexuality, and class. The most overt discrimination that I have faced has been based on being bisexual. This has been exacerbated by the fact that some of my scholarship is about sexuality. In this short Article, I focus on discrimination in law school hiring based on bisexuality. The topic is important because discrimination against bisexuals in the legal academy (and elsewhere) is little understood and often invisible. Additionally, because it was the type of discrimination that was the most apparent to me in the hiring process, I have important insights to share about it. Furthermore, the invisibility and lack of understanding of bisexuality mean that even people who are broad-minded and committed to social justice may discriminate against bisexuals without realizing it.

description: In May 2014, a conversation about gender discrimination among law school faculties exploded on the email listserv for the American Association of Law Schools (“AALS”) Section of Women in Legal Education. This conversation drew in dozens of participants from schools all over the United States and included teachers who were just starting out and those nearing retirement, drawing in clinical faculty, legal writing faculty, library faculty, and podium faculty. The topics that were raised ranged from the discriminatory actions of colleagues and students, to the marginalization of particular subject areas in the curriculum, to structural hierarchies in the profession, to the role of class in exacerbating other inequalities. The conversation went on for several weeks, and many of the participants urged that we needed to harness the feelings of anger and frustration expressed by so many and work together to channel that energy into productive change.

As one step, a group of faculty members from all over the country, inspired by a suggestion from Professor Meera Deo of Thomas Jefferson School of Law, banded together to propose a “crosscutting program” at the 2015 meeting of the AALS that would draw from empirical data, legal research, litigation strategy, and personal experience to both further conversations about the persistence of discrimination in the legal academy and activate strategies for addressing continuing problems. The program had a unique structure to permit the inclusion of as many voices as possible in the conversation. The program began with a three-person panel similar to more traditional AALS presentations. The second part of the program was made up of three-minute statements by speakers who were selected in response to a “call for remarks” circulated by the program organizers. The Articles in this symposium issue represent some of the ideas that emerged from this crosscutting program. The Articles are presented here in the order that the speakers offered their remarks at the AALS program.

description: Ultra strong coupling is studied in a modulation-doped parabolic potential well coupled to an inductance-capacitance resonant circuit. In this system, in accordance to Kohn's theorem, strong reduction of the energy level separation caused by the electron-electron interaction compensates the depolarization shift. As a result, a very large ratio of 27% of the Rabi frequency to the center resonance frequency as well as a polariton gap of width 2? ? 670GHz are observed, suggesting parabolic quantum wells as the system of choice in order to explore the ultra-strong coupling regime.

description: Health care, public safety, home security and self-driving cars applications rely on the automatic identification and interpretation of sound events. For example, abnormal respiratory sounds indicate respiratory problems, a gunshot or a glass breaking imply a safe alert, and an ambulance siren wailing implies that vehicles should stop or pull over. Systems that can automatically recognize sound events in order to extract meaning that helps us react accordingly, aresystems capable of Sound Understanding. Sound Understanding is an emerging field of Machine Hearing, which aims to build systems that can do sound-related tasks that have nothing to do with hearing - such as sonography, seismic, and sonar - and systems that could hear the way humans do and distinguish between music, speech and sounds [1]. Hearing machines that understand sounds like humans do require computational programs that can learn from years of accumulated diverse acoustics. They must useassociated knowledge to guide subsequent learning and organize what they hear, learn names for recognizable events, scenes, objects, actions, materials, places, and retrieve sounds by reference to those names. These machines must also continuously improve their hearing competence to encompass all the diversity and scale of the acoustics in the world. Therefore, this thesis proposes the Never-Ending Learning of Sounds (NELS), a computationalprogram that aims to build hearing machines that understand sounds under a never-ending learning paradigm. NELS continuously hears the Web, in order to learn meaningful categories and relationships of sounds, and use this knowledge to index and organize the crawled audio. The content is made available for people to query and recover all kinds of information. To enhanceNELS quality of expression of acoustic phenomena, we introduced a new interdisciplinary solution that draws domain knowledge from Psychology to build Machine Learning models. NELS breaks ground in challenges of Sound Understanding, such as collecting datasets with different types of labels and annotation processes, designing and improving sound recognition models, defining knowledge about sounds, and retrieving sounds with different types of similarities.

description: At the 2015 AALS Annual Meeting, a panel was convened under this title to discuss whether separate tracks and lower status for legal research and writing (“LRW”) faculty make sense given the current demand for legal educators to better train students for practice. The participants included law professors, an associate dean, and a federal judge.2 Each panelist was asked to respond to questions about the “two-track” system—a shorthand phrase for the two tracks of employment at many law schools whereby full-time LRW faculty are treated differently than tenured and tenure-track faculty. The panelists represented differing views on the topic. This Article grows out of the conversation, information, and ideas that emerged.
A Study on Red Asymmetry of H-alpha Flare Ribbons Using Narrowband Filtergram in the 2001 April 10 Solar Flare

description: We report a detailed examination of the "red asymmetry" of H-alpha emission line seen during the 2001 April 10 solar flare by using a narrowband filtergram. We investigated the temporal evolution and the spatial distribution of the red asymmetry by using the H-alpha data taken with the 60cm Domeless Solar Telescope at Hida Observatory, Kyoto University. We confirmed that the red asymmetry clearly appeared all over the flare ribbons, and the strong red asymmetry is located on the outer narrow edges of the flare ribbons, with the width of about 1.5" - 3.0" (1000 - 2000 km), where the strong energy releases occur. Moreover, we found that the red asymmetry, which also gives a measure of the Doppler shift of the H-alpha emission line concentrates on a certain value, not depending on the intensity of the H-alpha kernels. This implies not only that the temporal evolutions of the red asymmetry and those of the intensity are not in synchronous in each flare kernel, but also that the peak asymmetry (or velocity of the chromospheric condensation) of individual kernel is not a strong function of their peak intensity.

Putting Legal Writing on the Tenure Track: One School’s Experience

Subjects: Discrimination in higher education
Educational equalization--Law and legislation

description: This Article discusses the statistics behind the gendered segregation of law school faculties, in which women occupy a disproportionate number of legal writing and other low-status positions, while men continue to hold a disproportionate number of tenured faculty positions. The Article explores the rationales for and against converting legal writing faculty to tenure-track, and shares one law school’s experience of doing so. The Article then suggests lessons and approaches that other schools may wish to take in converting their own legal writing faculty to tenure-track positions.

description: This article reports a benefit–cost evaluation of the Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) of the City University of New York (CUNY). ASAP was designed to accelerate associate degree completion within 3 years of degree enrollment at CUNY’s community colleges. The program evaluation revealed that the completion rate for the examined cohort increased from 24.1% to 54.9%, and cost per graduate declined considerably (Levin & Garcia, 2012; Linderman & Kolenovic, 2012). The returns on investment to the taxpayer include the benefits from higher tax revenues and lower costs of spending on public health, criminal justice, and public assistance. For each dollar of investment in ASAP by taxpayers, the return was $3 to $4. For each additional graduate, the taxpayer gained an amount equal to a certificate of deposit with a value of $146,000 (net of the costs of the investment). Based on these estimated returns, a cohort of 1,000 students enrolled in ASAP would generate net fiscal benefits for the taxpayer of more than $46 million relative to enrolling in the conventional degree program. ASAP results demonstrate that an effective educational policy can generate returns to the taxpayer that vastly exceed the public investment required.

Accretion Outbursts in Circumplanetary Disks

description: We describe a model for the long term evolution of a circumplanetary disk that is fed mass from a circumstellar disk and contains regions of low turbulence (dead zones). We show that such disks can be subject to accretion driven outbursts, analogous to outbursts previously modeled in the context of circumstellar disks to explain FU Ori phenomena. Circumplanetary disks around a proto-Jupiter can undergo outbursts for infall accretion rates onto the disks in the range ~10^{-9} to 10^{-7} M_sun/yr, typical of accretion rates in the T Tauri phase. During outbursts, the accretion rate and disk luminosity increases by several orders of magnitude. Most of the planet mass growth during planetary gas accretion may occur via disk outbursts involving gas that is considerably hotter than predicted by steady state models. For low infall accretion rates less than ~10^{-10} M_sun/yr that occur in late stages of disk accretion, disk outbursts are unlikely to occur, even if dead zones are present. Such conditions are favorable for the formation of icy satellites.
