description: Modern day continued demand for resource hungry services and applications in IT sector has led to development of Cloud computing. Cloud computing environment involves high cost infrastructure on one hand and need high scale computational resources on the other hand. These resources need to be provisioned (allocation and scheduling) to the end users in most efficient manner so that the tremendous capabilities of cloud are utilized effectively and efficiently. In this paper we discuss a selective algorithm for allocation of cloud resources to end-users on-demand basis. This algorithm is based on min-min and max-min algorithms. These are two conventional task scheduling algorithm. The selective algorithm uses certain heuristics to select between the two algorithms so that overall makespan of tasks on the machines is minimized. The tasks are scheduled on machines in either space shared or time shared manner. We evaluate our provisioning heuristics using a cloud simulator, called CloudSim. We also compared our approach to the statistics obtained when provisioning of resources was done in First-Cum-First- Serve(FCFS) manner. The experimental results show that overall makespan of tasks on given set of VMs minimizes significantly in different scenarios.

Controllable linear $π$-phase modulation in a thermal atom vapor without diffraction or absorption

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: A scheme is proposed to achieve substantial controllable phase modulation for a probe field propagating through a thermal atomic vapor in double-$Λ$ configuration. The phase modulation is based on the linear susceptibility of the probe field, paraxial diffraction is eliminated by exploiting the thermal motion of atoms, and residual absorption is compensated via an incoherent pump field. As a result, a strong controllable uniform phase modulation without paraxial diffraction is achieved essentially independent of the spatial profile or the intensity of the probe field. This phase shift can be controlled via the intensities of the control or the incoherent pump fields. A possible proof-of-principle experiment in alkali atoms is discussed.

A Contribution to Re-theorizing Curriculum Research
Creators: name: Uljens, Michael
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2018

description: Contemporary curriculum reform, teaching and educational leadership are to an increasing degree challenged by similar transnational policy developments in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. As a consequence, curriculum theorizing has been very much debated the past decade, but conceptual progress has been limited. The aim of this article is to contribute with a new opening to the field of curriculum research, primarily by analyzing the strengths and limitations of a non-affirmative theory of education. This position is argued to provide a more theoretically coherent paradigm for a systematic treatment of the many dimensions involved, especially as it frames the German-Nordic paradigm of Didaktik, and adds to it. Non-affirmative education also moves beyond a currere or Bildung oriented conceptualization, as well as more instrumental and ideology-critical positions frequent in the English speaking cultures.

A Framework for Cross-Cultural Curriculum Development
Creators: name: Vera Cruz, Anne Clarice
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2018

description: This article questions meanings and understandings of “global” and “international” framework through the acknowledgement, existence, and validity of multiple onto-epistemologies. It seeks to provide insight to the questions, “What is ethical cross-cultural curriculum development?” and “How can practitioners engage in ethical cross-cultural curriculum development processes?” Through de Sousa Santos’ (2007) “globalized localisms” and “localized globalisms”, power asymmetries in “what counts as knowledge” (Apple, 2000) is illuminated and a cross-cultural curriculum development framework, addressing hegemonic concerns is presented. This framework integrates Taba’s (1962) curriculum development framework with a critical negotiation framework in the hopes that “global” and “international” education engages from a pluralistic standpoint. Finally, practical recommendations for each stage of the curriculum development process are presented.

Year: 2018

description: In this article, contributions from post-structuralist and postcolonial perspectives are appropriated to develop the argument that in Mozambique the civilizational project of the European colonizer aiming to moralize indigenous/natives by inculcating European standards of civility, operated discursively in the same game of language of the nationalistic identity project that aimed at the formation of the New Man, free from obscurantism, superstition and bourgeois and colonial mentality by the inculcation of Marxist-Leninist-Socialist civilizational standards. The poststructuralist contributions support the argument that the two projects, although antagonistic to each other, are articulated within the same language game governed by a logic and a grammar that favor practices of exclusion in the school because they do not take into account the plurality and the difference that constitutes the groupings and human relations. In the text, from the conception of culture as a practice of enunciation of meanings, the intention of constructing a single national curriculum that incorporates the cultural diversity of Mozambique is problematized.

description: By sharing the technological eclipses that have shadowed many lives in multiple cultural contexts, in this paper, I attempt to explore the meaning of technology by revisiting Ferneding’ s quest to understand technology. I share how humanity, immersed in technoculture, in its ongoing pursuit for salvation through technological inventions, has in turn become a slave of technology. In an attempt to awaken our collective moral consciousness and break this technological cocoon, I join Grant in re(thinking): “What technology is”? For guidance, I turn to Heidegger who invites us to contemplate technology as an intellectual capacity. I hope to invite technology as a technoscience — a way of uncovering nature and illuminating life amid teaching, learning and living encounters of education that do not technicalize schooling to alienate our self from us, but call for love and belongingness as we engage in complicated conversations to understand curriculum.

description: Full polarization measurements of 1665 and 1667-MHz OH masers at 261 sites of massive star formation have been made with the Parkes radio telescope. Here we present the resulting spectra for 157 southern sources, complementing our previously published 104 northerly sources. For most sites, these are the first measurements of linear polarization, with good spectral resolution and complete velocity coverage. Our spectra exhibit the well-known predominance of highly circularly polarized features, interpreted as $σ$ components of Zeeman patterns. Focusing on the generally weaker and rarer linear polarization, we found three examples of likely full Zeeman triplets (a linearly polarized $π$ component, straddled in velocity by $σ$ components), adding to the solitary example previously reported. We also identify 40 examples of likely isolated $π$ components, contradicting past beliefs that $π$ components might be extremely rare. These were recognised at 20 sites where a feature with high linear polarization on one transition is accompanied on the other transition by a matching feature, at the same velocity and also with significant linear polarization. Large velocity ranges are rare, but we find eight exceeding 25 km/s, some of them indicating high velocity blue-shifted outflows. Variability was investigated on timescales of one year and over several decades. More than 20 sites (of 200) show high variability (intensity changes by factors of four or more) in some prominent features. Highly stable sites are extremely rare.

description: It analyzes how the discourse of the journal Transnational Curriculum Inquiry (TCI) expressed the process of internationalization and transnationalization of studies in the field of curriculum in the second decade of the 21st century. It is connected with the internationalization movement of the curriculum studies expressed in the objectives of the International Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies (IAACS), one of the most respected entities in the curriculum field, established in 2001. It highlights that the TCI encompasses a "complex volume" of statements that discuss curriculum practices and policies worldwide, marked by power relations, and it is possible to state that the publications of the journal TCI are constituted by struggles and processes, which show the possibilities of emergence of certain knowledges. It questions: what forces emerge from the Transnational Curriculum Inquiry in discussions about curricula? What effects of the relations between knowledge and power were evident in the articles published in this journal? How do disciplinary fields relate to the stated perspective of curriculum studies seeking a multi/transcultural and cosmopolitan approach? Have curriculum studies predominantly manifested as counter-science and/or anti-science in an insurrectional way?

On the Subject of Educational Policies and Curriculum Transformation in Bolivia
Creators: name: Yapu, Mario
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this paper is to highlight some aspects of discussion about the curriculum and its political implications and practices in Bolivia. Since the 80’s (1987-1994), I have been researching the curriculum in a permanent tension between multiple dimensions or components and levels that builds its definition and its action. In a way, this analysis was influenced by the neo-Marxist studies (Young, 1971; Apple, 2004; Bourdieu, 1996, to name a few), and we have discussed policies of knowledge (or cultures), or more exactly political economy of knowledge. This is complemented by the contributions of Foucault that allow investigating the relationship of the curriculum with issues of identity, subject, and power, which must also be associated with the works of Bourdieu related to concepts such as social fields, strategies, and habitus. Finally, in order to understand the curricular problem and education policies, in a broader perspective, It is necessary to expand the perspective of analysis into the relational and contextual nature of social phenomena, then it seems interesting to talk about the ecology of knowledge; a concept used by Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2010). I am also inspired by Gregory Bateson’s work (and some works of Serge Moscovici and Edgar Morin from 1970s and 80s) that developed a complex and systemic epistemology in several of their works. The theoretical and practical problems of education and the school curriculum are societies’ problems in which they have been produced and reproduced. This principle, which is common, condenses various topics of discussion on the curriculum; in this brief commentary is impossible to develop them. Therefore, I am highlighting some of them for the purpose of participating in the discussion.

Information and communication in polygon theories

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Generalized probabilistic theories (GPT) provide a framework in which one can formulate physical theories that includes classical and quantum theories, but also many other alternative theories. In order to compare different GPTs, we advocate an approach in which one views a state in a GPT as a resource, and quantifies the cost of interconverting between different such resources. We illustrate this approach on polygon theories (Janotta et al. New J. Phys 13, 063024, 2011) that interpolate (as the number n of edges of the polygon increases) between a classical trit (when n=3) and a real quantum bit (when n=infinity). Our main results are that simulating the transmission of a single n-gon state requires more than one qubit, or more than log(log(n)) bits, and that n-gon states with n odd cannot be simulated by n'-gon states with n' even (for all n,n'). These results are obtained by showing that the classical capacity of a single n-gon state with n even is 1 bit, whereas it is larger than 1 bit when n is odd; by showing that transmitting a single n-gon state with n even violates information causality; and by showing studying the communication complexity cost of the nondeterministic not equal function using n-gon states.

Year: 2017

description: This article addresses the problem of curriculum development, particularly with regard to the practical processes of curricular design and redesign, in higher education, in the context of reform. This paper is structured twofold: the first part situates panoramically and synthetically the context of appearance of the imperative need for changes and development of innovative curricular models in accordance to the hegemonic discourse of educational policies enunciated from the agencies of political and financial power for education, concerned and occupied in linking the curriculum with the knowledge society, information society, and the economic market through an educational reform that transforms schools in order to guide them towards a broad and complex educational and curricular reform effort. The second part exposes the importance of the design practice, and the methodological strategies used assuming the premise that the phases of foundation and curricular design constitute strategic and tactical moments of the game of academic power addressing the proposals as curricular synthesis (from Alba, 1991: 38). This work concludes with some reflections to continue the discussion.

The Young People as Subjects of the Curricular Overdetermination

description: Curriculum is located in center of the politics of an assessment state. It is a curriculum of state. Pre-school, primary, secondary, high school, university and even postgraduate levels are in the pot of assessment, the artifact –device- that brings them together is the curriculum. It is located, then, as the center of the hegemonic logic and, therefore, as the element capable of eroding such logic. Curriculum is understood from logic of the articulation and the protagonists of the curricular game are identified. The movement of the youths, the political movement without party affiliation and the teachers movement was located as subjects of the curricular overdetermination. The movement of the youths were characterized as a social contour that in the frame of the Generalized Structural Crisis could be articulated to redirect the Latin American agenda of curricular investigation in both the theoretical production as well as the design field and the curricular implementation.

The remaining dominant vertices are quartic Z'Z'ZZ and Z'Z'W+W-, which can induce effective Z'Z'q\bar{q} couplings through standard-model gauge-boson loops. We discuss constraints from the cosmological thermal relic density, and direct and indirect-detection experiments, and find that a dark Z' can only exist above the W boson mass threshold, and the effective quartic coupling of Z'Z'VV is bounded in the region of 10^{-3}~10^{-2}.

description: Iron-based superconductors (FeSC) present an unprecedented variety of features both in the superconducting and in the normal state. Different families differ in the value of the critical temperature, in the shape of the Fermi surface, in the existence or absence of quasi-nesting conditions, in the range of doping in which the antiferromagnetic (AFM) and the superconducting phase coexist and in the structure of the order parameter in the reciprocal space, and so on. In this paper the most important results of point-contact spectroscopy (PCS) in Fe-based superconductors are reviewed, and the most recent advances are described with the aim to discuss the future perspectives and challenges of this spectroscopic technique in the characterization of the superconducting properties of these complex compounds. One of the main challenges, faced so far only by a few researchers in the PCS field, is to fully explore the phase diagram of these materials, as a function of doping or pressure, to understand the interplay between superconductivity and magnetism, the effect of intrinsic or extrinsic inhomogeneities, the role of spin fluctuations (SFs) in the pairing, the symmetry and the structure of the order parameter(s).

description: Understanding and manipulating spin polarization and transport in the vicinity of semiconductor-hosted defects is a problem of present technological and fundamental importance. Here, we use high-field magnetic resonance to monitor the relaxation dynamics of spin-3/2 nuclei in semi-insulating GaAs. Our experiments benefit from the conditions created in the limit of low illumination intensities, where intermittent occupation of the defect site by photo-excited electrons leads to electric field gradient fluctuations and concomitant spin relaxation of the neighboring quadrupolar nuclei. We find indication of a heterogeneous distribution of polarization, governed by different classes of defects activated by either weak or strong laser excitation. Upon application of a train of light pulses of variable repetition rate and on/off ratio, we uncover an intriguing regime of mesoscale nuclear spin diffusion restricted by long-range, non-uniform electric field gradients. Given the slow time scale governing nuclear spin evolution, such optically-induced polarization patterns could be exploited as a contrast mechanism to expose dark lattice defects or localized charges with nanoscale resolution.

description: The creation of The Comisión Nacional de Evaluación y Acreditación Universitaria (CONEAU) in 1995 opens a chapter about the evaluation processes that, 20 years from its functioning, allows to move along in the study and analysis from an evaluation perspective and accreditation that does not base its developments, or its evolution, or the increasing levels of quality achieved in the system, in the elaboration of university rankings, or in the taking of exams for teachers and students. The history of institutionalization of this process can be related from the initial political decision, the first times of rejection, going through the thoroughness of the organization and the development of tools and procedures, the self-assessment processes to the present where it is possible to raise achievements and pending issues. It is in the context of a story about this experience that the question about the curricular changes that these processes may have generated taking the idea of perspective raised by Alicia de Alba in his text Curriculum: crisis, myth and perspective (1995) and thus return to think about how to express curricularly the common and the diverse in the processes of university education.

description: The dependence of the spectra shape of produced charged hadrons on the size of a colliding system is discussed using a two component model. As a result, the hierarchy by the system-size in the spectra shape is observed. Next, the hydrodynamic extension of the two component model for hadroproduction using recent theoretical calculations is suggested to describe the spectra of charged particles produced in heavy-ion collisions in the full range of transverse momenta, $p_T$. Data from heavy-ion collisions measured at RHIC and LHC are analyzed using the introduced approach and are combined in terms of energy density. The observed regularities might be explained by the formation of QGP during the collision.

description: The Paouris inequality gives the large deviation estimate for Euclidean norms of log-concave vectors. We present a modified version of it and show how the new inequality may be applied to derive tail estimates of l_r-norms and suprema of norms of coordinate projections of isotropic log-concave vectors.

Year: 2017

description: The article analyzes the way in which the creation of new categories such as of Significance Notions and the Fields of Curricular Structuring, for the design and the curricular evaluation, allowed generating alternative proposals to those based on empirical analytical perspectives, which during several decades had over-determined these professional practices; the use of these categories also allowed transition from the problematization to the intervention and reconfiguration of the curriculum field in Mexico. The postgraduate programs in education taught at the Higher Institute of Educational Sciences of the State of Mexico, at the same time, the article identify the problems that were faced are pointed out together with the conflicts derived from the demands for the certification of such programs, framed by the modern educational policies and the context of globalization, neoliberalism and scientific development of these days.

Quantum dynamics and entanglement in coherent transport of atomic population

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In this work we look at the quantum dynamics of the process known as either transport without transit (TWT), or coherent transfer of atomic population (CTAP), of a Bose-Einstein condensate from one well of a lattice potential to another, non-adjacent well, without macroscopic occupation of the well between the two. This process has previously been analysed and in this work we extend those analyses by considering the effects of quantum statistics on the dynamics and entanglement properties of the condensate modes in the two relevant wells. In order to do this, we go beyond the mean-field analysis of the Gross-Pitaevskii type approach and utilise the phase-space stochastic methods so well known in quantum optics. In particular, we use the exact positive-P representation where it is suitable, and the approximate truncated WIgner representation otherwise. We find strong agreement between the results of these two methods, with the mean-field dynamics not depending on the initial quantum states of the trapped condensate. We find that the entanglement properties do depend strongly on the initial quantum states, with quantitatively different results found for coherent and Fock states. Comparison of the two methods gives us confidence that the truncated Wigner representation delivers accurate results for this system and is thus a useful method as the collisional nonlinearity increases and the positive-P results fail to converge.

description: The processes of self-regulation, self-assessment, accreditation and reaccreditation have been seen as an external imposition that exerts its power, directly or indirectly, over higher education institutions. Since the late 80s to 2000, Costa Rica experienced a significant increase in the supply of private higher education. The accreditation processes emerged as an initiative within the public universities. Subsequently, a few private higher education institutions became members of the Sistema Nacional de Acreditación de la Educación Superior (SINAES). The current assessment model of SINAES is rigid, its content is repetitive and leads to descritive broad reports. For these reasons, the model is under review. The systematization carried out consisted in a de-sedimentation of twenty-eight self- assessment reports of careers in the field of education that allowed to identify a set of components that have a specific relevance or "significance” for some particular careers. The significance is reflected in elements outlined such as educational research, students, missing elements or relevant aspects that are identified in their speeches. The achievements for the development of curricular changes are not there out in the field. Some problems related to unsolved situations between different actors emerge from the process or weaknesses like the lack of consensus between the entry profile and the graduation profile. Trends to curricular change are clearly identified because, in the course of time, noticeable improvements in the curriculum can be seen in the design and redesign of courses.

description: Questo studio esplora le somiglianze fonologiche tra lingue moderne e presunti elementi linguistici dell'antica Atlantide, con un focus particolare sui suoni e le lettere che potrebbero suggerire un legame storico o culturale. Ci si focalizza sulla filogenesi mondiale delle lingue atlantidee derivate dalle espansioni dei popoli che abitavano l'isola sardo-corso-atlantidea verso tutta Europa e il resto del mondo. Analizziamo la presenza della lettera "U" in diverse lingue, il suono "J" del francese, e il suono "Ж" del russo per identificare eventuali tracce di una lingua atlantidea. Esaminiamo inoltre le implicazioni di tali somiglianze per le teorie sull'esistenza e l'influenza di Atlantide. Inoltre, consideriamo l'importanza storica e linguistica di "Sa Die de sa Sardigna" e i "Vespri Siciliani" per arricchire il contesto linguistico.

Towards a realistic solution of the cosmological constant fine-tuning problem by Higgs inflation

description: Why the cosmological constant $Λ$ observed today is so much smaller than the Planck scale or why the universe is accelerating at present? This is so-called the cosmological constant fine-tuning problem. In this paper, we find that this problem is solved with the help of Higgs inflation by simply assuming a variable cosmological "constant" during the inflation epoch. In the meanwhile, it could predict a large tensor-to-scalar ratio $r\approx 0.20$ and a large running of spectral index $n'_s \approx -0.028$ with a red-tilt spectrum $n_s \approx 0.96$, as well as a big enough number of e-folds $N\approx 40$ that required to solve the problems in the Big Bang cosmology with the help of $Λ$.

The Culture and the Mexican Basic Education Curriculum
Creators: name: Gallardo-Gutiérrez, Ana Laura

description: This paper addresses the discussion around the category of the curriculum as an educational policy in the Mexican basic education field in its crossing with studies on culture. It also tries to warn that there are cultural differences that the national curriculum of the Mexican basic education cannot subvert, the schools that cannot resist more, and the reach of the public. From this point of view, in which the curriculum is a social and historical construction and hence, contingent and precarious which current moment are thundering showing these traits; in particular when facing cultural, ethnic and linguistic diversity field. As an example of this, the theoretical tools and the Mexican basic education textbooks. The paper closes with a reflection on the deep curriculum crisis, the contents that are transmitted to the national and the basic as the hegemonic discursive chains which are losing more and more ground and with that, the impossibility of quality on education that Mexican children and youth receive.
