description: Resonators composed of two mirrors, such as Fabry-Perot cavities, provide a simple but effective approach to achieve wave transmission with high finesse. Further increase of the quality factor requires reflectors with higher conductivity or multi-mirror solutions. However, the analytical complexity of resonators with more than two mirrors prevents the design of optimal structures without recurring to numerical methods. This work considers an alternative approach to this problem by using cavities which do not produce any electromagnetic scattering. We demonstrate that these invisible cavities can be placed inside one another, resulting in a `matryoshka-doll'-like resonator. The standing-wave distribution of the inner resonator can be controlled without disturbing that of the outer one, whereas the whole system remains non-scattering.

description: This paper provides several new results on identification of the linear factor model. The model allows for correlated latent factors and dependence among the idiosyncratic errors. I also illustrate identification under a dedicated measurement structure and other reduced rank restrictions. I use these results to study identification in a model with both observed covariates and latent factors. The analysis emphasizes the different roles played by restrictions on the error covariance matrix, restrictions on the factor loadings and the factor covariance matrix, and restrictions on the coefficients on covariates. The identification results are simple, intuitive, and directly applicable to many settings.

description: Ultra-high-concentration PNP-contained wastewaters are produced sometimes due to the wide application of this nitrophenolic compound in the chemical industry. However, there is a lack of appropriate technologies to rapidly pretreat the ultra-high-concentration wastewater. Therefore, a new microwave-enhanced Fe/Cu bimetallic particles (MW-Fe/Cu) system was developed to rapidly remove ultra-high-concentration PNP. First, the priority of the determinative parameters was obtained by orthogonal experiment. Based on this result, the effects of initial pH, microwave power, Fe/Cu dosage and initial PNP concentration on PNP removal were optimized thoroughly. Under the optimal conditions (i.e. initial pH = 1.0, MW power = 385 W, Fe/Cu dosage = 30 g/L and initial PNP concentration = 4000 mg/L), four control treatment systems (i.e. MW-Fe0, heating-Fe/Cu, MW alone and Fe/Cu alone system) were set up to compare with the MW-Fe/Cu system. The results suggest that high PNP removal (more than 99% with 2.5 min, k1/k2 = 1.18/6.91 min−1) and COD removal (26.6% with 5 min treatment) could be obtained by the MW-Fe/Cu system, which were much superior to those obtained using the MW-Fe0 (k1/k2 = 0.62/2.21 min−1) and the heating-Fe/Cu system (k1/k2 = 0.53/1.52 min−1). Finally, the determination of the intermediates of PNP degradation by HPLC indicated that the MW assistance process did not change the degradation pathway of PNP. This concludes that the new MW-Fe/Cu system was the promising technology for pretreatment of wastewater containing ultra-high-concentration toxic and refractory pollutants at a fairly short treatment time.

description: Trichogramma is a small wasp that is a natural enemy of many agricultural pests. Although Trichogramma can be used in sustainable crop production, conventional methods of delivering Trichogramma to fields are expensive and may cause pollution. In this study, the feasibility of using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for Trichogramma delivery was investigated. A six-rotor plant protection UAV was equipped with a Trichogramma delivery device, and a Box-Behnken experimental design was carried out with the Trichogramma pills as the test material, the launch height, the launch speed and the launch interval as the experimental factors, and the Trichogramma pills’ landing accuracy as the test index. The data were analyzed by ANOVA using the Design-Expert software, and the influence of each experimental factor on the accuracy of the Trichogramma pills bolus landing was explored through response surface analysis. The regression model between the experimental factors and the experimental indicators was established, and the parameters were optimized based on the response surface method, and the optimal combination parameters were obtained. The ANOVA revealed that the launch height A had the greatest effect on the accuracy, followed by launch interval C and launch velocity B. The results demonstrated that the optimal parameter combination of the Trichogramma delivery system is the launch height of 147.95 cm, the launch speed of 3.7745 m/s, and the launch interval of 2.98 s. At this moment, the accuracy of Trichogramma pills’ bolus landing was the highest, with an accuracy of 93.29%. The average relative error between the experimental value and the optimization result was 1.71%, indicating that the Trichogramma delivery system could meet the requirements of delivery. This study provides theoretical references and technical support for verifying the feasibility of the Trichogramma delivery system.

description: The politician in power in a period of inflation magnifies his achievements by money comparisons with the years before his reign; his aspiring opponent may call upon price index numbers to support his own contention - and to confirm the suspicions of the electorate - that real achievement has been negligible. The persuasiveness of the compact price index contrasts with the diversity of the figures it represents and with the multiplicity of answers available from careful choice of formula and base period .

4U2206+54 - an Unusual High Mass X-ray Binary with a 9.6 Day Orbital Period but No Strong Pulsations

description: Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer All-Sky Monitor observations of the X-ray source 4U2206+54, previously proposed to be a Be star system, show the X-ray flux to be modulated with a period of approximately 9.6 days. If the modulation is due to orbital variability then this would be one of the shortest orbital periods known for a Be star X-ray source. However, the X-ray luminosity is relatively modest whereas a high luminosity would be predicted if the system contains a neutron star accreting from the denser inner regions of a Be star envelope. Although a 392s pulse period was previously reported from EXOSAT observations, a reexamination of the EXOSAT light curves does not show this or any other periodicity. An analysis of archival RXTE Proportional Counter Array observations also fails to show any X-ray pulsations. We consider possible models that may explain the properties of this source including a neutron star with accretion halted at the magnetosphere and an accreting white dwarf.

Based on Associative Memories, this layer can help design Deep Neural Networks which support incremental learning and that can be (partially) trained in real time on embedded devices. Experiments on the ImageNet dataset and other different domain specific datasets show that it is possible to design more flexible and faster-to-train Neural Networks at the cost of a slight decrease in accuracy.

An empirical method to estimate the LMC distance using B-stars in eclipsing binary systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present a new method to determine the distance to B-stars in eclipsing binary systems. The method is completely empirical, and it is based on the existence of a very tight linear relationship between the V-band ``zero magnitude angular diameter'' and the Stroemgren colour index c1 for B-stars; we have empirically calibrated this relationship using local single B-stars with accurate angular diameters, and B-stars in eclipsing binaries with precise radii and parallax determinations. By studying the differential behaviour of this relationship as predicted by theoretical stellar evolution models, we find that it is independent of the stellar metallicities for a range of [Fe/H] values between the solar one and that of young stars in the Magellanic Clouds. The method, which also provides the value of the reddening to the system, is discussed in detail, together with a thorough estimate of the associated errors. We conclude that accurate Stroemgren photometry obtainable with 1.5 m-class telescopes of the LMC eclipsing binaries HV 2274 and HV 982 will allow to obtain an empirical LMC distance with an accuracy of the order of 0.13 mag.

description: This PhD dissertation is the result of my work in the CIBIS project (Creativity In Blended Interaction Spaces), under the broader scope of illuminating what happens when design ideas emerge, as well as how ideas are represented and transformed across devices and spaces. This dissertation contributes to understanding how professional interaction designers use tools and systems to manage design ideas in their private and professional lives. I have gathered an extensive amount of qualitative data from empirical observations, surveys, interviews, and design idea archive walkthroughs, to form a detailed understanding of the complexities and dynamics in play in professional idea management. I have primarily applied a grounded theory approach to the data, developing analyses and frameworks solidly grounded in the field and participant views. The contributions of the dissertation are the following: I identify and analyze definitions of the concept “design idea”, as it has been used in research up until now, and unfold the meaning of the concept by identifying and analyzing externalized instances of design ideas from professional interaction designers’ archives. I identify a theory of the actions involved in idea management of professional interaction designers. Based on this theory, I develop a framework of strategies of tool-use, based on the creative objectives tools fulfill to professional interaction designers. Finally, I identify four design opportunities for novel, digital idea management tools under the headings of ‘utilizing the potential of the design idea archive’, and ‘increasing focus on the creative designer’.

Berry-phase-based quantum gates assisted by transitionless quantum driving

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We propose a novel proposal for geometric quantum gates using three- or two-level systems, in which a controllable variable, the detuning between the driving frequency and the atomic energy spacing, is introduced to realize geometric transformations. In particular, we can have two instantaneous eigenstates with opposite eigenvalues constituting a closed loop in the parameter space. The accumulated dynamical phase is then exactly cancelled when the loop is completed, which is beyond the traditional parallel-transport restriction. We apply the transitionless quantum driving, which renders revisions in both amplitudes and phases of the driving fields, to enhance the speed and the fidelity of geometric transformation in both universal single-qubit gates and nontrivial double-qubit gates. Gate fidelity under decoherence is also estimated.

description: We present UV images and spectra of the starburst galaxy I Zw 18, taken with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. The high spatial resolution of these data allows us to isolate clusters containing Wolf-Rayet stars of the subtype WC. Our far-UV spectra clearly show CIV 1548,1551 and HeII 1640 emission of WC stars in two clusters: one within the bright (NW) half of I Zw 18, and one on the outskirts of this region. The latter spectrum is unusual, because the CIV is seen only in emission, indicating a spectrum dominated by WC stars. These data also demonstrate that the HI column in I Zw 18 is strongly peaked in the fainter (SE) half of I Zw 18, with a column depth far larger than that reported in previous analyses.

description: Ghana under Kwame Nkrumah played a part in African affairs that was disproportionate to its diminutive size and strength. Thus, Accra became a Mecca for Pan-Africanists and revolutionaries; almost the entire Ghanaian Army served in the Congo; the public treasury was raided so that loans could be made to impoverished friends like Guinea and Mali; and Nkrumah's own voice echoed through the conference-halls of the continent. Ghana's foreign policy during these years baffled those who believed that a small state must accept a quiet waiting role in international affairs. When Nkrumah finally aspired beyond continental leadership and set out to end the Vietnam war and rouse the "fallow world" against the dominance of the great power-blocs, many observers thought that arrogance had ended in illusion. Certainly, the man who began by exploring the possibilities open to a new nation ended by sacrificing the interests of his people to a chimaera.

description: We have used ESO telescopes at La Silla and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in order to obtain accurate B,V,I CCD photometry for the stars located within 200" (~= 2 half-mass radii, r_h = 1.71') from the center of the cluster NGC 6101. Color-Magnitude Diagrams extending from the red-giant tip to about 5 magnitudes below the main-sequence turnoff MSTO (V = 20.05 +- 0.05) have been constructed. The following results have been obtained from the analysis of the CMDs: a) The overall morphology of the main branches confirms previous results from the literature, in particular the existence of a sizeable population of 73 "blue stragglers", which had been already partly detected (27).They are considerably more concentrated than either the subgiant branch or the main sequence stars, and have the same spatial distribution as the horizontal branch stars (84% prob. from K-S test). An hypothesis on the possible BSS progeny is also presented. b) The HB is narrow and the bulk of stars is blue, as expected for a typical metal-poor globular cluster. c) The derived magnitudes for the HB and the MSTO, $V(ZAHB) = 16.59+-0.10, V(TO) = 20.05+-0.05, coupled with the values E(B-V) = 0.1, [Fe/H] = -1.80, Y = 0.23 yield a distance modulus (m-M)_V = 16.23 and an age similar to other ``old'' metal-poor globular clusters. In particular, from the comparison with theoretical isochrones, we derive for this cluster an age of 13 Gyrs. d) By using the large statistical sample of Red Giant Branch (RGB) stars, we detected with high accuracy the position of the bump in the RGB luminosity function. This observational feature has been compared with theoretical prescriptions, yielding a good agreement within the current theoretical and observational uncertainties.

description: The BESIII Collaboration recently reported the observation of the $a_0(980)^0-f_0(980)$ mixing in the isospin breaking decay $J/ψ\to ηπ^0ϕ$. In the Dalitz plot for that decay with the $η$ reconstructed from two photons, there is a band around $1.4$~GeV on the $π^0 ϕ$ distribution. In general, this peak can be due to a resonance or a kinematic effect. In this paper, we study the effects of a set of $K^*K\bar K$ triangle diagrams, and show that due to triangle singularities such diagrams can lead to a peak around 1.4~GeV in the $π^0ϕ$ invariant mass distribution. The Dalitz plot induced by such a mechanism has a feature consistent with the BESIII observation, namely events along the band accumulate at both ends close to the Dalitz plot boundary. The effect of the same mechanism on the $J/ψ\to π^0π^0ϕ$ and $J/ψ\to ηπ^0 K^+K^-$ decays are also investigated. We suggest to take more data for the $J/ψ\to ηπ^0ϕ\to ηπ^0 K^+ K^-$ and check whether the structure around $1.4$~GeV persists for the $K^+K^-$ invariant mass away from the $ϕ$ mass region. This is crucial for understanding whether the band is due to triangle singularities or due to a resonance. Were it the latter, the band should remain while it would not if it is due to the former.

description: A new molecular precursor Ca[SbO(SCH2COO)Cl H2O] was synthesized from the reaction of calcium thioacetate with SbCl3 in (1:1) ratio. The precursor was characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectra (IR), and thermal analyses (TGA). IR spectra indicated that thioacetate chelates Sb in a binegative bidentate manner via thiol sulfur and carboxylate oxygen after deprotonation. TGA results indicated that the precursor decomposes in three steps. Calcium antimonate (CaSb2O6) was synthesized from the thermal decomposition of the molecular precursor at 250 °C in air. The calcination product was characterized by X-ray diffractions (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmittance electron microscope (TEM). The results of X-ray diffractions indicated the formation of calcium antimonate nanoparticles which crystallizes in hexagonal system. The crystallite size was found to be 32 nm. Electron microscopes (SEM and TEM) indicated the formation of aggregates of spherical nanoparticles that forms rod like shape. The optical band gap (Eg) measurements showed allowed direct electronic transition. The determined Eg value is 3.9 eV, which is larger than the bulk.

description: Marx first formulated his ideas about the state in the course of his criticisms of Hegelian political theory. Like Hegel, he was concerned above all to establish the nature of freedom and rationality and the conditions in which these might be realised. He accepted, too, a large part of Hegel's account of freedom and rationality and the obstacles to their attainment. At a number of points, however, he found Hegel’s judgements inadequate, and his appraisals of policies and institutions effectively hostile to the genuinely free and rational tendencies in society.

description: Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is an effective and noninvasive treatment for patients with refractory angina and chronic heart failure. However, previous studies evaluating the influence of EECP on endothelial function showed inconsistent results. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of EECP on endothelial function measured by brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD). PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang databases were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing the influence of EECP versus usual care on FMD in adult population. A random-effects model incorporating the potential influence of heterogeneity was used to pool the results. Nineteen studies with 1647 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with usual care or conventional therapy, additional treatment with EECP for 3–7 weeks was associated with a significantly improved FMD (mean difference [MD]: 1.96%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.57–2.36, p < 0.001, I2 = 52%). Subgroup analysis showed consistent results in patients with coronary artery disease and in patients with other diseases (p for subgroup difference = 0.21). Results of meta-regression analysis showed that the mean baseline FMD level was positively correlated with the influence of EECP on FMD (coefficient = 0.42, p < 0.001). Results of subgroup analysis suggested that the increment of FMD following EECP was larger in patients with baseline FMD ≥ 5% (MD: 2.69, 95% CI: 2.27–3.10, p < 0.001; I2 = 15%) compared to those with baseline FMD < 5% (MD: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.13–1.85, p < 0.001; I2 = 0%; p for subgroup difference < 0.001). EECP may be effective in improving endothelial function measured by FMD.

description: This dissertation in conjunction with an exhibition of art work, reports on the outcomes of my doctoral inquiry into the place of Nature in artistic practice and learning. The doctoral study took the form of a series of artistic projects undertaken with children in an outdoor learning environment ‘the campground’ at Mt Nebo State School on the edge of Brisbane Forest Park, in locations as far north as Townsville and Mackay, as far west as Bingara, at the edge of the Channel Country in south-west Queensland, Girraween National Park in south-east Queensland, and a number of visits to the Bundjalung National Park in the north-east of New South Wales. The research is about the ‘space in between’ based on experiential and empirical understanding of a ‘cultural landscape’ (Langton, 1996). ‘Are we there yet?’, was the commonly posed question by students on school camps when backpacking the Australian countryside. Unsure of why young people ‘missed’ so much of ‘what I saw’, I found some clues in the literature I began to review on the topic: the idea, predominant in Western cultures, that in the journey through the bush between the point of departure and the point of arrival, ‘there is nothing there’ (Rose, 1996; Langton, 1996; Plumwood, as cited in Becket and Gifford, 2007) - just an ‘empty vista’ between constructed environments. Thus an important question to be asked in the context of my study is ‘How do we engage ways of looking and ways of working that are inclusive of our First Peoples’ respect for the land and that offer a different way of thinking, about Nature?’ Three main areas of focus within this study include: an inquiry into how notions of belonging, homeland, and wilderness underpin the cultural construction of landscapes in Western and non-Western thought; children’s perceptions of ‘Nature’ explored through the experimental projects, the Bush Bags, Lost 1886, and The Single Leaf project; and learning and teaching in outdoor settings. Children’s perceptions and experiences were explored as they arose through close engagement with the natural world during art-making and whilst responding to art. The capacity to ‘hear’ and privilege the voices of children as they engaged in art-making has been crucial to this study.

Australian imperialism and the New Hebrides, 1862-1922

description: Australians first became aware that the New Hebrides were an important group of islands when news of sandalwood discoveries, in the 1840s, encouraged Australian merchants to risk losing ships and crews on uncharted reefs or at the hands of fierce New Hebrideans for the handsome profits to be made from the sale of sandalwood in China. At the time a decline in supply and demand closed this trade, in the 1860s, one of its leading entrepreneurs, Robert Towns, successfully experimented in harnessing the energy of New Hebrideans for plantation work in Queensland. This prompted other Australians to engage in a labour trade between Australia and the group; during the next 40 years over half the Pacific islands labourers brought to Queensland came from the New Hebrides. At the same time, in the late 1860s, a handful of Australians took the plantation system to the group, where they found other Europeans who, since 1862, had been receiving money from Australia to preach the Presbyterian version of the Christian Gospel.
On the "three subobjects lemma" and its higher-order generalisations

description: We solve a problem mentioned in an article of Berger and Bourn: we prove that in the context of an algebraically coherent semi-abelian category, two natural definitions of the lower central series coincide. In a first, "standard" approach, nilpotency is defined as in group theory via nested binary commutators of the form $[[X,X],X]$. In a second approach, higher Higgins commutators of the form $[X,X,X]$ are used to define nilpotent objects. The two are known to be different in general; for instance, in the context of loops, the definition of Bruck is of the former kind, while the commutator-associator filtration of Mostovoy and his co-authors is of the latter type. Another example, in the context of Moufang loops, is given in Berger and Bourn's paper. In this article, we show that the two streams of development agree in any algebraically coherent semi-abelian category. Such are, for instance, all Orzech categories of interest. Our proof of this result is based on a higher-order version of the Three Subobjects Lemma of Cigoli-Gray-Van der Linden, which extends the classical Three Subgroups Lemma from group theory to categorical algebra. It says that any $n$-fold Higgins commutator $[K_1, \dots,K_n]$ of normal subobjects $K_i$ of an object $X$ may be decomposed into a join of nested binary commutators.

description: We report the results of HST WFPC2 broadband F555W and F702W photometric and F555W polarimetric observations of the "Cloverleaf" QSO H1413+1143. This is a four-component gravitationally-lensed broad absorption line (BAL) QSO. Observations were obtained at two epochs in March 1999 and June 1999 separated by about 100 days. The goal of our program was to detect any relative changes among the components and between the two epochs. Over this time baseline we detected an approximately 0.07 mag dimming in component D of the lensed image, which we interpret as evidence for microlensing. In March 1999 we find significant evidence for a difference in the relative linear polarization of component D in comparison to the other three components; in June 1999 the combined polarization of the Cloverleaf components was lower. In March 1999 the apparently microlensed component D has a rotated polarization position angle and a somewhat higher degree of polarization than the other three components. We suggest that this difference in polarization is due to microlensing magnification of part of a scattered-light (i.e. polarized) continuum-producing region. The results indicate that in the Cloverleaf the size-scale of the polarized scattered-light region exceeds about 10^{16} cm but lies interior to the region producing the broad emission lines (< 10^{18} cm).

description: Until the dark days of 1942 Australia took only sporadic interest in foreign affairs. For the most part her international outlook was one of disinterest; the result of an unconscious provincialism. Australia rejected the view that she had a material or moral interest in taking an active part in international politics. Dominion status within the British Empire meant that routine diplomatic negotiations were still conducted on behalf of Australia by the Government in London. Australian foreign policy in the period between the wars tends therefore to have a pragmatic character. Only when the Australian Government felt that its interests were not being adequately met by Whitehall did the authorities in Melbourne become vocal on their own behalf and pursue a line independent of London. They were limited in the extent to which they could act independently because lacking independent status they lacked access to world councils.
title: Arts Immersion across the curriculum: An action research case study in using the Arts as the home language in a primary school classroom

Subjects: subject: Arts integration
subject: Arts-based pedagogy
subject: Arts Immersion
subject: Professional learning
subject: Primary school curriculum

description: The Arts are integral to our lives and the benefits of Arts education are widely documented. They offer us different ways of knowing and of making sense of our world and our own experiences. With their own semiotic systems, each Arts subject represents a rich store of understandings and skills, embracing nuance, complexity, and the perspectives of multiple intelligences. However, the inclusion of high-quality Arts education in primary schools may be threatened by the influence of high stakes testing which, in some cases, has been interpreted through narrower test-driven pedagogy. Despite calls for equity in the classroom, narrower pedagogical approaches may privilege some students and disadvantage others. The dominance of word-based texts and perceptions that going ‘back to basics’ will be a ‘silver bullet’ in improving student outcomes may cause non-high-stakes-tested subjects to receive lower priority in the curriculum. Where there is a tendency for subject areas and teaching practices to operate as ‘silos’, knowledge may be fragmented and deeper levels of cognition may be compromised. Teachers’ perceptions of an overcrowded curriculum and their own reported lack of training in Arts education require more creative attention. To address these challenges—improving student learning, building teacher capacity, and relieving an overcrowded curriculum—this research project develops an on-the-job professional learning model where an Arts specialist and a generalist teacher work together in the same classroom. An Arts Immersion approach provides an opportunity to increase teacher capacity while widening the learning pathway for students. In this scenario, the Arts become the home language of the classroom and are used across the curriculum as both a domain of learning and a vehicle to access other learning.
Orbital Magnetic Field Effects in Mott Insulators with Strong Spin-Orbit Coupling

description: We study the effect of a magnetic field on the low energy description of Mott insulators with strong spin-orbit (SO) coupling. In contrast to the standard case of the Hubbard model without SO coupling, we show that Peierls phases can modulate the magnetic exchange at leading order in the interaction. Our mechanism crucially depends on the existence of distinct exchange paths between neighboring magnetic ions enclosing a well-defined area. Thus it will generically be present in any solid state realisation of the Kitaev model and its extensions. We explicitly calculate the variation of the exchange constants of the so-called $JKΓ$ model as a function of the magnetic flux. We discuss experimental implications of our findings for various settings of candidate Kitaev spin liquids.
