description: We consider the N=4 SYM theory in flat 3+1 dimensional spacetime with a time dependent coupling constant which vanishes at $t=0$, like $g_{YM}^2=t^p$. In an analogous quantum mechanics toy model we find that the response is singular. The energy diverges at $t=0$, for a generic state. In addition, if $p>1$ the phase of the wave function has a wildly oscillating behavior, which does not allow it to be continued past $t=0$. A similar effect would make the gauge theory singular as well, though nontrivial effects of renormalization could tame this singularity and allow a smooth continuation beyond $t=0$. The gravity dual in some cases is known to be a time dependent cosmology which exhibits a space-like singularity at $t=0$. Our results, if applicable in the gauge theory for the case of the vanishing coupling, imply that the singularity is a genuine sickness and does not admit a meaningful continuation. When the coupling remains non-zero and becomes small at $t=0$, the curvature in the bulk becomes of order the string scale. The gauge theory now admits a time evolution beyond this point. In this case, a finite amount of energy is produced which possibly thermalizes and leads to a black hole in the bulk.

description: Last spring, I taught a graduate course in the study of curriculum. The course involved studying the historical construction of curriculum and uncovering the various curricular perspectives that continue to influence curriculum practices today. This was the first time I had taught the course and I was surprised by the kind of learning that transpired. Through our discussions, readings and explorations, suffering in education became apparent. Suddenly, it was there before us and it could not be denied any longer.

This suffering showed itself in the many different kinds of realizations that we discovered in our shared inquiry. For some students it was the first time they had noticed the hidden, instrumental values influencing the institution of schooling, such as the interests to control, sort and objectify children, as well as the over-emphasis on order and certainty and how this renders experience lifeless and dull. They realized that schools have the potential, as Dewey warned, “to cramp and deaden” (1929). Many were angry at this discovery. Others expressed despair and a profound sense of sadness at the state of education today, its existence in a world that seems hopelessly bent on its own destruction.

description: Apocharips Fergusson, 1986
Of the 5 Apocharips species considered valid in Ferrer-Suay et al. (2012a), only 3 are still considered to be valid (Tables 3 and 4): A. angelicae Pujade-Villar & Evenhuis, 2002, A. hansoni Menke, 1993, and A. trapezoidea (Hartig, 1841); the other two were synonymized: A. eleaphila (Silvestri, 1915) and A. peraperta (Silvestri, 1915) with A. trapezoidea (Ferrer-Suay et al. 2013a). Additionally, specimens of Apocharips from Colombia were studied, which resulted in three new species descriptions: Apocharips colombiana Ferrer-Suay & Pujade-Villar, 2013, Apocharips tamanii Paretas-Martínez & Pujade-Villar, 2013, and Apocharips tropicale Ferrer-Suay & Paretas-Martínez, 2013 (Ferrer-Suay et al. 2013a).

The Unfolding Inner Teacher:  Applying Holistic Ideas from Kenneth Beittel & Henry Schaefer-Simmern

description: Historical art educators Kenneth Beittel’s and Henry Schaefer-Simmern’s teaching practices contribute much to our understanding of how one might nurture, develop and then teach from the inner teacher outward, thereby developing wholeness as a natural occurrence in students. To better compare holistic teaching in contemporary art education with these exemplars, we began by examining Parker Palmer’s educative work on transformative teaching and wholeness. In The Courage to Teach, he writes, “The power of our mentors is not necessarily in the models of good teaching they gave us… their power is in their capacity to awaken a truth within us…. If we discover the teacher’s heart in ourselves by meeting a great teacher, recalling that meeting may help us take heart in teaching once more” (1998, p. 21).

When we examined the teaching practices and theories of Schaefer-Simmern and Beittel, we discovered their passionate, although differing abilities to awaken heart—in the form of what Palmer refers to as the inner teacher or whole teacher. We define wholeness within this paper as an ever-evolving relationship between the many parts that make up a whole (Miller, R., 2000; Wilber, 1996). The characteristics of the whole teacher are; awareness of multiple perspectives, such as the intellectual, emotional, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual (Miller, 2000); the ability to nurture and develop relationships between these perspectives in individuals and within groups; and the awareness of human connectivity with the Cosmos. The interior presence that a whole teacher carries is further cultivated through developing a deeper understanding the self, connecting with a domain of knowledge that one is passionate about, and weaving one’s whole identity into a vocation. Through our research, we sought to clarify how two exemplars contributed to the unfolding of the inner teacher-- whether this teacher-presence emerged in their students as the confident voice of an artist who explored new ideas, and/or surfaced as the reflective teacher who applied new understandings of the artistic process/experience.

description: Beyond the contribution to the expected impacts listed in the work programme, it is crucial to having the greatest impact on key stakeholders outside the project partnership, to ensure that the vision, objectives, activities and results of Prêt-à-LLOD become as widely known and as well understood as possible.

 This report is the first review of the actions taken in this respect. It can be proved, that all planned initial steps of setup and initiation are complete. While some of the measures are on or above the planned KPIs, some of them are still under development and need focused attention for the next period.

 We see a good start of all communication actions and are positive about the further development of communication, which may be driven by the up-coming tangible interim-results and presentable findings in the near future

We find that the directed flow depends on the incident energy but, contrary to all existing models, not on the size of the colliding system at a given centrality. We extend the validity of the limiting fragmentation concept to different collision systems, and investigate possible explanations for the observed sign change in $v_1(p_t)$.

description: Curriculum standards present educators with content to teach but attitude or readiness to learn are not as frequently addressed. Learning occurs everywhere, from formal classroom instruction to informal outside-of-school activities, encompassing a wide range of experiences and benefits. Extracurricular activities (ECA) generally offer students free-choice experiences that are voluntary, openended, non-sequential, self-directed, hands-on, and evaluation-free. Thus, ECA offer an additional venue to provide opportunities for engaging students in science and allowing them to explore different perspectives, attitudes, social positions, and trajectories of identification.

description: Food resources face severe damages under extraordinary situations of catastrophes such as earthquakes, cyclones, and tsunamis. Under such scenarios, speedy assessment of food resources from agricultural land is critical as it supports aid activity in the disaster hit areas. In this article, a deep learning approach is presented for the detection and segmentation of coconut tress in aerial imagery provided through the AI competition organized by the World Bank in collaboration with OpenAerialMap and WeRobotics. Maked Region-based Convolutional Neural Network approach was used identification and segmentation of coconut trees. For the segmentation task, Mask R-CNN model with ResNet50 and ResNet1010 based architectures was used. Several experiments with different configuration parameters were performed and the best configuration for the detection of coconut trees with more than 90% confidence factor was reported. For the purpose of evaluation, Microsoft COCO dataset evaluation metric namely mean average precision (mAP) was used. An overall 91% mean average precision for coconut trees detection was achieved.

description: I employ two frames to review the twelve theoretically distinct chapters of Joe Kincheloe’s edited volume on Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences (2004). One frame is created by the underlying tension this volume reveals between a felt need for an operationalized vision of the intelligence one should nurture in democratic schools and the, in some ways, competing call for a governing appreciation of children’s meaning-making as inscrutably manifold and mysterious. Secondly, I cluster the twelve authors’ varied critiques in relation to three somewhat distinct areas of concern: the credibility of the science behind MI theory; Gardner’s theoretical elaboration of the relevant science; and the potential of MI to inform or guide school reform.

description: The main purpose of this study is to use the IUE spectra in the analysis of magnetic activity of main sequence F-K stars. Combining IUE observations of MgII and optical spectroscopy of Ca II, the registry of ctivity of stars can be extended in time. We retrieved all the high-resolution spectra of F, G, and K main sequence stars observed by IUE (i.e. 1623 spectra of 259 F to K dwarf stars). We obtained the continuum surface flux near the Mg II h+k lines near 2800 Åand the MgII line-core surface flux from the IUE spectra. We obtained a relation between the mean continuum flux near the MgII lines with the colour $B-V$ of the star. For a set of 117 nearly simultaneous observations of Mg II and Ca II fluxes of 21 F5 to K3 main sequence stars, we obtained a colour dependent relation between the Mount Wilson CaII S-index and the MgII emission line-core flux. As an application of this calibration, we computed the Mount Wilson index for all the dF to dK stars which have high resolution IUE spectra. For some of the most frequently observed main sequence stars, we analysed the Mount Wilson index S from the IUE spectra, together with the ones derived from visible spectra. We confirm the cyclic chromospheric activity of epsilon Eri (HD 22049) and beta Hydri (HD 2151), and we find a magnetic cycle in alpha Cen B (HD 128621). Complete abstract in the paper.

description: Joe L. Kincheloe died suddenly on December 19, 2008, cutting short an astonishing career that traversed the history of education to curriculum studies and critical pedagogy. It is a body of work that merits our sustained and critical attention, as it articulates the key concepts and issues with which many of us have grappled during the past twenty years. One place to begin the study of Kincheloe’s work is Shreveport, Louisiana, where I met Joe in 1989. At that time I was chair of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at LSU-Baton Rouge with jurisdiction (technically, not practically) over teacher education at LSU-Shreveport, where Kincheloe taught courses in the history of education. Joe and I hit it off from the start, deciding to collaborate first over doctoral course offerings at Shreveport1 and then over the concept of “place.” Still in shock over the move from Rochester, New York (where I had taught from 1972-1985) I was relieved to find a receptive and engaging Joe Kincheloe. Even with his East Tennessee upbringing and doctorate from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, Joe agreed with me that Louisiana demanded, well, explanation. The uniqueness of Louisiana not only pointed to its own peculiar history and distinctive multi-culture, it underscored the particularity – including the historicity (Roberts 1995, p. 64) - of every place, however muted some places seem.

description: A sensorless speed, average temperature and resistance estimation technique based on Neural Network (NN) for brushed DC machines is proposed in this paper. The literature on parameters and state spaces estimations of the Brushed DC machines, shows a variety of approaches. However, these observers are sensitive to a noise, on the model accuracy also are difficult to stabilize and to converge. Furthermore, the majority of earlier works, estimate either the speed or the temperature or the winding resistance. According to the literatures, the Resilient backpropagation (RBP) as is the known as the faster BP algorithm, Cascade-Forward Neural Network (CFNN), is known as the among accelerated learning backpropagation algorithms, that's why where it is found in several researches, also in several applications in these few years. The main objective of this paper is to introduce an intelligent sensor based on resilient BP to estimate simultaneously the speed, armature temperature and resistance of brushed DC machines only from the measured current and voltage. A comparison between the obtained results and the results of traditional estimator has been made to prove the ability of the proposed method. This method can be embedded in thermal monitoring systems, in high performance motor drives.

This also enables us to implement a recoil scheme which is consistent between final-state and initial-state radiation. We present optimal values of the strong coupling and intrinsic transverse momentum to be used in each version of the parton shower, tuned using $Z^0$-boson production at the LHC at 7 TeV. With these tuned showers, we perform a phenomenological study of the Drell-Yan process at several centre-of-mass energies.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We introduce an exponential random graph model for networks with a fixed degree distribution and with a tunable degree-degree correlation. We then investigate the nature of a percolation transition in the correlated network with the Poisson degree distribution. It is found that negative correlation is irrelevant in that the percolation transition in the disassortative network belongs to the same universality class of the uncorrelated network. Positive correlation turns out to be relevant. The percolation transition in the assortative network is characterized by the non-diverging mean size of finite clusters and power-law scalings of the density of the largest cluster and the cluster size distribution in the non-percolating phase as well as at the critical point. Our results suggest that the unusual type percolation transition in the growing network models reported recently may be inherited from the assortative degree-degree correlation.

description: The luminous material in clusters of galaxies falls primarily into two forms: the visible galaxies and the X-ray emitting intra-cluster medium. The hot intra-cluster gas is the major observed baryonic component of clusters, about six times more massive than the stellar component. The mass contained within visible galaxies amounts to approximately 3% of the dynamical mass. Our aim was to analyze both baryonic components, combining X-ray and optical data of a sample of five galaxy clusters (Abell 496, 1689, 2050, 2631 and 2667), within the redshift range 0.03 < z < 0.3. We determined the contribution of stars in galaxies and the intra-cluster medium to the total baryon budget. We used public XMM-Newton data to determine the gas mass and to obtain the X-ray substructures. Using the optical counterparts from SDSS or CFHT we determined the stellar contribution. We examine the relative contribution of galaxies, intra-cluster light and intra-cluster medium to baryon budget in clusters through the stellar-to-gas mass ratio, estimated with use of recent data. We find that the stellar-to-gas mass ratio within r_500 (the radius which the mean cluster density exceeds the critical density by a factor of 500), is anti-correlated with the ICM temperature, ranging from 24% to 6% whereas the temperature ranges from 4.0 to 8.3 keV. This indicates that less massive cold clusters are more prolific star forming environments than massive hot clusters.

Models were constructed using a non-LTE radiative transfer code developed by \citet{sig07} which incorporates a number of improvements over previous treatments of the disk thermal structure, including a realistic chemical composition. Our models are constrained by direct comparison with long baseline optical interferometric observations of the H$α$ emitting regions and by contemporaneous H$α$ line profiles. Detailed comparisons of our predictions with H$α$ interferometry and spectroscopy place very tight constraints on the density distributions for these circumstellar disks.

description: Recommender systems typically operate on high-dimensional sparse user-item matrices. Matrix completion is a very challenging task to predict one's interest based on millions of other users having each seen a small subset of thousands of items. We propose a Global-Local Kernel-based matrix completion framework, named GLocal-K, that aims to generalise and represent a high-dimensional sparse user-item matrix entry into a low dimensional space with a small number of important features. Our GLocal-K can be divided into two major stages. First, we pre-train an auto encoder with the local kernelised weight matrix, which transforms the data from one space into the feature space by using a 2d-RBF kernel. Then, the pre-trained auto encoder is fine-tuned with the rating matrix, produced by a convolution-based global kernel, which captures the characteristics of each item. We apply our GLocal-K model under the extreme low-resource setting, which includes only a user-item rating matrix, with no side information. Our model outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines on three collaborative filtering benchmarks: ML-100K, ML-1M, and Douban.

description: Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) with excellent physical and chemical properties were processed into all aspects goods. With utilization increasing, the massive ENMs are sinking into the sewer continually and drained into wastewater treatment systems. It has been reported that the types of ENMs including metal (or metal oxide), inorganic carbon and plastics nanomaterials actually exist in wastewater with concentrations approximately varying from 10 ng·L-1 to 1 mg·L-1. Fortunately, CW can effectively intercept ENMs, which can be removed about 87-98% containing wastewater. However, accompanying the accumulation of ENMs, the CWs performance is gradually deteriorating due to the change of microbiota composition to the accumulation of engineering nanomaterials. Hence, we explored those knowledge gaps in CWs exposing to three types of typical engineered nanomaterials (silver nanoparticles, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, and cerium dioxide nanoparticles) using high-throughput sequencing techniques. The sequences in this project database are the results of microbial metagenomics sequencing that reflect the responses of microbial community structure to ENMs accumulation for the prolonged time.
Extension of the single-nonlinear-mode theory by linear attachments and application to exciter-structure interaction

description: Under certain conditions, the dynamics of a nonlinear mechanical system can be represented by a single nonlinear modal oscillator. The properties of the modal oscillator can be determined by computational or experimental nonlinear modal analysis. The simplification to a single-nonlinear-mode model facilitates qualitative and global analysis, and substantially reduces the computational effort required for probabilistic methods and design optimization. Important limitations of this theory are that only purely mechanical systems can be analyzed and that the respective nonlinear mode has to be recomputed when the system's structural properties are varied. With the theoretical extension proposed in this work, it becomes feasible to attach linear subsystems to the primary mechanical system, and to approximate the dynamics of this coupled system using only the nonlinear mode of the primary mechanical system. The attachments must be described by linear ordinary or differential-algebraic equations with time-invariant coefficient matrices. The attachments do not need to be of purely mechanical nature, but may contain, for instance, electric, magnetic, acoustic, thermal or aerodynamic models. This considerably extends the range of utility of nonlinear modes to applications as diverse as model updating or vibration energy harvesting. As long as the attachments do not significantly deteriorate the host system's modal deflection shape, it is shown that their effect can be reduced to a complex-valued modal impedance and an imposed modal forcing term. In the present work, the proposed approach is computationally assessed for the analysis of exciter-structure interaction. More specifically, the force drop typically encountered in frequency response testing is revisited.

description: Weak measurement of a subset of noncommuting observables of a quantum system can be modeled by the open-system evolution, governed by the master equation in the Lindblad form. The open-system density operator can be represented as statistical mixture over non unitarily evolving pure states, driven by the stochastic Nonlinear Schrodinger equation (sNLSE). The globally stable solution of the sNLSE is obtained in the case where the measured subset of observables comprises the spectrum-generating algebra of the system. This solution is a generalized coherent state (GCS), associated with the algebra. The result is based on proving that GCS minimize the trace-norm of the covariance matrix, associated with the spectrum-generating algebra.

description: Background Pneumonia is a common acute respiratory infection that contributes to significant mortality and morbidity worldwide. The disruption of the airway microbiome in respiratory infection has been extensively reported. However, whether the changes in respiratory tract (RT) microbial communities during pneumonia were related to disease severity remains elusive. Herein, we aimed to investigate the correlation between the airway microbiome changes and immune response in pneumonia patients.
Methods We performed metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing on balf, blood, sputum and swab samples from immunocompetent (ICO) and immunocompromised (ICH) pneumonia patients. Shannon index and Richness were used to evaluate alpha-diversity. For beta-diversity analysis, the principal coordinate analysis scaling plot and Non-metric multidimensional scaling were applied. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were determined and enriched by Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis. Finally, SparCC algorithm was used for constructing microbial and host co-occurrence patterns.
Results Compared to ICO patients with pneumonia, ICH patients had higher Pneumonia Severity index (PSI) score and showed higher microbial diversity in balf but less diversity in sputum. Besides, pneumonia patients with different immune status (ICH or ICO) and different PSI scores, exhibited much different composition and beta-diversity in RT samples. Additionally, EBV abundance was positively correlated with PSI score and detection of EBV associated to increased disease severity. Moreover, a total of 801 DEGs and 26 immune related genes (IRGs) and 11 interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) were identified between EBV detected and EBV not-detected balf samples. These DEGs were enriched in signaling pathways related to immune response and viral infection such as p53 and TGF-beta. Further co-occurrence network illustrated that these IRGs, especially EGFR and CXCL17 exhibited remarkable interactions to common respiratory microbial species.
Conclusion Pneumonia patients with different disease severity may exert distinct microbial composition and diversity. Notably, EBV would serve as a microbial signature for disease severity via regulating hosts immune response, which in turn could alter microbial compositions.
Unbinding Repressions: The Conception of Resistance in and beyond Human Rights Discourse

description: This thesis concerns the function of human rights in relation to advancing a conception of resistance. It analyses counter-hegemonic approaches to human rights that highlight the contributions of anti-colonial and self-determination struggles as regenerative of human rights ideals. It utilises the psychoanalytic conception of resistance to assess the treatment of resistance in human rights as an agentic act against oppression. Firstly, it suggests a conception of resistance in human rights concerns recognising the struggles of the excluded – as ex-colonised societies and individuals. Such recognition aims to find value in their struggles to declare their autonomy. Secondly, the thesis offers a conception of resistance beyond human rights through psychoanalytic thought, in which resistance concerns a counter-force that sabotages the self-regulating autonomy and a foundational force that perpetually unbinds desires for domination in the political terrain. Thirdly, the thesis discusses whether advancing a right to resistance can sustain a resisting agency for the excluded. It suggests that the basis of agency in human rights is linked to maintaining race as a tool of identification. Race arise as naturalised in the biological determinism of the term ‘human’. Lastly, it examines the role of the Egyptian human rights network in the 2011 Egyptian uprising. It suggests the movement has reiterated the triumph of the uprising through western, progressive ideals while propagating the societal divide between modernist and fundamentalist ideals. The 2011 uprising challenges the utility of human rights practices as its forces disrupted redemptive practices and challenged societal relations. Its forces also question the repressed, as the colonial encounter, that manifests in every reiteration of a supreme Egyptian identity against political and social dissatisfaction. This thesis argues that advancing a conception of resistance beyond human rights ideals exposes its racialising normativity while nurturing resistance to envisioning post-slavery conditions.
Do quasar X-ray and UV flux measurements provide a useful test of cosmological models?

description: The recent compilation of quasar (QSO) X-ray and UV flux measurements include QSOs that appear to not be standardizable via the X-ray luminosity and UV luminosity ($L_X-L_{UV}$) relation and so should not be used to constrain cosmological model parameters. Here we show that the largest of seven sub-samples in this compilation, the SDSS-4XMM QSOs that contribute about 2/3 of the total QSOs, have $L_X-L_{UV}$ relations that depend on the cosmological model assumed and also on redshift, and is the main cause of the similar problem discovered earlier for the full QSO compilation. The second and third biggest sub-samples, the SDSS-Chandra and XXL QSOs that together contribute about 30% of the total QSOs, appear standardizable, but provide only weak constraints on cosmological parameters that are not inconsistent with the standard spatially-flat $Λ$CDM model or with constraints from better-established cosmological probes.

description: The identification of the limiting factors in the dynamical behavior of complex systems is an important interdisciplinary problem which often can be traced to the spectral properties of an underlying network. By deriving a general relation between the eigenvalues of weighted and unweighted networks, here I show that for a wide class of networks the dynamical behavior is tightly bounded by few network parameters. This result provides rigorous conditions for the design of networks with predefined dynamical properties and for the structural control of physical processes in complex systems. The results are illustrated using synchronization phenomena as a model process.

description: Дефицит железа в организме является важной медико-социальной проблемой, обусловливающей развитие такой распространенной патологии, как железодефицитная анемия, при которой нарушается обмен белков и минеральных веществ, что приводит к функциональным и морфологическим изменениям во всех органах, в том числе в тканях слизистой оболочки полости рта и пародонта. Кроме того, увеличивается число случаев дефицита железа, что также приводит к гипоксическому состоянию в организме, в результате чего нарушается трофика слизистой оболочки полости рта, в том числе органов и систем, в результате чего развиваются кариес и пародонтальные заболевания, влияющие на качество жизни пациентов. В свою очередь недостаточное поступление железа в организм, плохо усваиваемое и неправильное пережевывание пищи приводит к дальнейшему обострению дефицита железа, что создает круг за кругом. В организме человека при дефиците или повышении макро- и микроэлементов снижается устойчивость к неблагоприятным факторам внешней среды, формируются случаи иммунодефицита, нарушается функция антиоксидантной защитной системы, заболевания переходят в хроническую форму, повышается риск развития распространенных заболеваний, снижается качество жизни и эффективность лечения.

description: We study a new class of ergodic backward stochastic differential equations (EBSDEs for short) which is linked with semi-linear Neumann type boundary value problems related to ergodic phenomenas. The particularity of these problems is that the ergodic constant appears in Neumann boundary conditions. We study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to EBSDEs and the link with partial differential equations. Then we apply these results to optimal ergodic control problems.
