description: Recently it was realized that the zigzag magnetic order in Kitaev materials can be stabilized by small negative off-diagonal interactions called the $Γ'$ terms. To fully understand the effect of the $Γ'$ interactions, we investigate the quantum $K$-$Γ$-$Γ'$ model on the honeycomb lattice using the variational Monte Carlo method. Two multinode Z$_2$ quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are found at $Γ'>0$, one of which is the previously found proximate Kitaev spin liquid called the PKSL14 state which shares the same projective symmetry group (PSG) with the Kitaev spin liquid. A remarkable result is that a $π$-flux state with a distinct PSG appears at larger $Γ'$. The $π$-flux state is characterized by an enhanced periodic structure in the spinon dispersion in the original Brillouin zone (BZ), which is experimentally observable. Interestingly, two PKSL8 states are competing with the $π$-flux state and one of them can be stabilized by six-spin ring-exchange interactions. The physical properties of these nodal QSLs are studied by applying magnetic fields and the results depend on the number of cones. Our study infers that there exist a family of zero-flux QSLs that contain $6n+2, n\in\mathbb Z$ Majorana cones and a family of $π$-flux QSLs containing $4(6n+2)$ cones in the original BZ. It provides guidelines for experimental realization of non-Kitaev QSLs in relevant materials.

description: This study examines the factors associated with noncompliance among 72 children in three age groups (18, 30, and 42 months) and attempts to differentiate age-related noncompliance from noncompliance related to child specific factors such as child temperament and maternal behavior. Mother-child interaction within two (naturalistic and semistructured) situations was videotaped and subsequently reviewed by independent raters who assessed the frequency of and affect accompanying maternal behavior and four descriptive dimensions of child noncompliance: (a) frequency, (b) child affect, (c) intensity, and (d) persistence (endurance). Mothers were also asked to rate their perception of child temperament. Analyses revealed that: (a) while 18 month olds exhibited levels of frequency and persistence of noncompliance in the semistructured situation which were significantly higher than levels of 42 month olds, in the naturalistic setting, 30 month olds actually exhibited levels of noncompliance (frequency and persistence) significantly higher than those exhibited by 42 month olds, (b) each of the four dimensions of noncompliance was predicted by a different set of factors which, in turn, varied according to the situation in which the maternal-child interaction occurred, (c) the consistency of noncompliance across situations across situations (as measured by frequency and persistence) increased with age, and (d) significant differences between boys and girls were found only in the naturalistic situation as measured by the persistence dimension. While the current study should be considered exploratory, these findings indicate that negativism involves a complex and dynamic set of behavioral characteristics linked closely to child development. Whereas 18 month olds appear to exhibit high levels of noncompliance frequency and persistence in those situations which tax their limited cognitive skills, 30 month olds may exhibit high levels of noncompliance frequency and persistence in a more arbitrary fashion, presumably related to issues in socio-emotional development. In addition, the results of this study suggest the existence of a pattern of child noncompliance, characterized by high levels of intensity or accompanying affect, which appears closely linked to child temperament and maternal behavior. These findings point to valuable areas of future investigation.

description: Translation apps and devices are often presented in the context of providing assistance while traveling abroad. However, the spectrum of needs for cross-language communication is much wider. To investigate these needs, we conducted three studies with populations spanning socioeconomic status and geographic regions: (1) United States-based travelers, (2) migrant workers in India, and (3) immigrant populations in the United States. We compare frequent travelers' perception and actual translation needs with those of the two migrant communities. The latter two, with low language proficiency, have the greatest translation needs to navigate their daily lives. However, current mobile translation apps do not meet these needs. Our findings provide new insights on the usage practices and limitations of mobile translation tools. Finally, we propose design implications to help apps better serve these unmet needs.

description: The surface differential rotation of active solar-type stars can be investigated by means of Doppler and Zeeman-Doppler Imaging, both techniques enabling one to estimate the short-term temporal evolution of photospheric structures (cools spots or magnetic regions). After describing the main modeling tools recently developed to guarantee a precise analysis of differential rotation in this framework, we detail the main results obtained for a small number of active G and K fast rotating stars. We evoke in particular some preliminary trends that can be derived from this sample, bearing the promise that major advances in this field will be achieved with the new generation of spectropolarimeters (ESPaDOnS/CFHT, NARVAL/TBL).

Models of redistribution and economic development

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The interrelationships between development and distribution have been investigated by economists from a variety of viewpoints. One group of economists introduced inter-sectoral redistributions of resources in dualistic structures and monitored the resulting consequences on the distribution of income, savings, consumption as well as the impact on growth. Another group of economists highlighted the link between the level of nutrition and the amount of labor effort in an economy having surplus manpower. A third group of economists stressed the importance of the intra-sectoral redistribution of assets in the long-run to improve the distribution and growth of income, consumption etc. However, the existing literature shows that there is very little work done to link these alternative approaches towards growth with equity. This dissertation fills this gap in the literature by interlinking the different forms of redistribution. The methodology does not follow any particular school of thought explicitly. It uses both structuralist and optimizing methods. In addition, there are both one and two sector configurations to highlight the importance of linking the inter-sectoral redistributions with the intra-sectoral. The dissertation simulates the models for twenty years to show the implications of policy alternatives. It is argued that none of the current third world countries reflects the true working of either a free market economy or a comprehensive redistributive regime presented here. One of the major goals of this dissertation is to analyze the relative advantage of a third world country in moving either towards a free market economy or a redistributive regime. The model results show that underneath the aggregate growth versus equity problem, there exists a number of important contradictions in the society. These contradictions involve conflicts within the poorer groups, between the competitive and monopoly segments, between agriculture and industry as well as those between labor and capital. Hence, the dissertation clarifies the point that economic development should aim at solving most of these contradictions, along with growth. The comprehensive redistributive regime proposed here is a better instrument in achieving this goal than the free market alternative.

description: Although much less known to Western political economists, than, for example, to sociologists or historians, Ibn Khaldun is the true founding father of political economy. Centuries before his successors, the "classical political economists," Ibn Khaldun dealt systematically and masterfully with the relationship between economics and politics. He, furthermore, was able to define the subject matter of his "new" science by delineating the fundamental political and economic processes. At a time when we are witnessing a tremendous surge of interest in political economy in the field of international relations, it is rather ironic that Ibn Khaldun's work is still almost completely unexplored. This dissertation is an attempt toward demonstrating the originality and significance of Ibn Khaldun's contribution to political economy. It provides a rendition of Ibn Khaldun's views on a wide range of topics: $\sp{\rm c}umran$ (development), mode of production, specialization, division of labor, laissez faire, money, exchange, $\sp{\rm c}asabiyya$ (roughly solidarity), anarchy, mulk (royal authority), the rise and fall of states, theory of the state, sociology of knowledge, social conflict, among others. The relevant sections of Ibn Khaldun's masterwork Muqaddimah (Volume One of his Kitab al-$\sp{\rm c}Ibar$), our primary source, are arranged to form a coherent basis for this study. The study demonstrates the following major points: (1) that Ibn Khaldun's contribution to political economy is original and so great as to unquestionably qualify him for the title "father of political economy"; (2) that Ibn Khldun's work has commanded great respect from writers in sociology, history, and philosophy, and that it exercised noticeable influence on Arab and Muslim scholarship; and, (3) that Ibn Khaldun's political economy is relevant and timely. Researchers in international relations, political economy, and other social science fields are urged to seriously explore the Muqaddimah, for it contains a wealth of information and provides keen insights on numerous areas of knowledge.

description: Domain adaptation has been a fundamental technology for transferring knowledge from a source domain to a target domain. The key issue of domain adaptation is how to reduce the distribution discrepancy between two domains in a proper way such that they can be treated indifferently for learning. In this paper, we propose a novel domain adaptation approach, which can thoroughly explore the data distribution structure of target domain.Specifically, we regard the samples within the same cluster in target domain as a whole rather than individuals and assigns pseudo-labels to the target cluster by class centroid matching. Besides, to exploit the manifold structure information of target data more thoroughly, we further introduce a local manifold self-learning strategy into our proposal to adaptively capture the inherent local connectivity of target samples. An efficient iterative optimization algorithm is designed to solve the objective function of our proposal with theoretical convergence guarantee. In addition to unsupervised domain adaptation, we further extend our method to the semi-supervised scenario including both homogeneous and heterogeneous settings in a direct but elegant way. Extensive experiments on seven benchmark datasets validate the significant superiority of our proposal in both unsupervised and semi-supervised manners.

Properties of Information Carrying Waves in Cosmology

description: Recently we studied the effects of information carrying waves propagating through isotropic cosmologies. By information carrying we mean that the waves have an arbitrary dependence on a function. We found that the waves introduce shear and anisotropic stress into the universe. We then constructed explicit examples of pure gravity wave perturbations for which the presence of this anisotropic stress is essential and the null hypersurfaces playing the role of the histories of the wave-fronts in the background space-time are shear-free. Motivated by this result we now prove that these two properties are true for all information carrying waves in isotropic cosmologies.

description: In the literature, compact binary coalescences (CBCs) have been proposed as one of the main scenarios to explain the origin of some non-repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs). The large discrepancy between the FRB and CBC event rate densities suggest their associations, if any, should only apply at most for a small fraction of FRBs. Through a Bayesian estimation method, we show how a statistical analysis of the coincident associations of FRBs with CBC gravitational wave (GW) events may test the hypothesis of these associations. We show that during the operation period of advanced LIGO, the detection of $\sim100$ ($\sim1000$) GW-less FRBs with dispersion measure (DM) values smaller than 500 ${\rm pc~cm^{-3}}$ could reach the constraint that less than $10\%$ (or $1\%$) FRBs are related to binary black hole (BBH) mergers. The same number of FRBs with DM values smaller than 100 ${\rm pc~cm^{-3}}$ is required to reach the same constraint for binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. With the upgrade of GW detectors, the same constraints for BBH and BNS mergers can be reached with less FRBs or looser requirements for the DM values. It is also possible to pose constraints on the fraction of each type of CBCs that are able to produce observable FRBs based on the event density of FRBs and CBCs. This would further constrain the dimensionless charge of black holes in binary BH systems.

The effects of the structured peer supervision model on overall supervised counseling effectiveness ratings of advanced counselors in training
Creators: name: Benshoff, James Murray
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Although supervision is widely recognized as critical to the professional development of both practicing counselors and counselor trainees, adequate clinical supervision may be more of an ideal than a reality for many counselors due to a lack of supervisors who have the necessary expertise, time, interest, and willingness to provide regular, ongoing supervision. Sharing a peer supervision relationship with a colleague can be a viable alternative or supplement to receiving clinical supervision from an administrator, instructor, or consultant. In addition, peer supervision may offer a variety of benefits not usually provided through traditional supervision. This study investigated the effectiveness of the Structured Peer Supervision Model (SPSM), a seven-session model which provides a structured framework that enables counseling students to augment traditional clinical supervision experiences by using their counseling skills to supervise one another in dyads. The research design was experimental and utilized a pretest-posttest control group design with random assignment to groups. The Counselor Evaluation Rating Scale (CERS) was used as both pre- and posttest to determine the effects of the Structured Peer Supervision Model on an overall supervised counseling effectiveness posttest score. The study was conducted during the spring 1988 semester with advanced master's-level counseling students (N = 85) who were enrolled in practicum, internship, or experiential career counseling courses. Both experimental and control groups participated in traditional supervision experiences. In addition, experimental subjects utilized the Structured Peer Supervision Model, while control subjects completed an alternative academic assignment. This study hypothesized that mean posttest scores of experimental subjects would be significantly higher than for control subjects. In addition, the study hypothesized that more experienced counselors would score significantly higher on the posttest than inexperienced counselors within groups as well as across groups. Results of two-way analyses of variances (ANOVAs) did not support any of the research hypotheses. Research findings are discussed and recommendations made for future research in this area.

This JC interaction creates an anharmonic ladder of JC eigenstates, resulting in the suppression of phonon hopping due to energy conservation. Here, we realize phonon blockade in the presence of multiple local phonons in a trapped-ion chain. Our work establishes a key technological component for quantum simulation with multiple bosonic particles, which can simulate classically intractable problems.

Principal attention is paid to the resistance of finite-length chains with disordered white-noise potential. We develop a new version of the transfer matrix approach based on the equivalency of a discrete Schroedinger equation and a two-dimensional Hamiltonian map describing a parametric kicked oscillator. In the two limiting cases of ballistic and localized regime we demonstrate how analytical results for the mean resistance and its second moment can be derived directly from the averaging over classical trajectories of the Hamiltonian map. We also discuss the implication of the single-parameter scaling hypothesis to the resistance.

These are identified with diagonal metrics and dilatons. Using the properties of the algebra, we find that for all very extensions G+++ of simple Lie algebras there are theories of gravity and matter, which admit classical solutions carrying representations of the Weyl group of G+++. We also identify the T and S-dualities of superstrings and of the bosonic string with Weyl reflections and outer automorphisms of well-chosen very extended algebras and we exhibit specific features of the very extensions. We take these results as indication that very extended algebras underlie symmetries of any consistent theory of gravity and matter, and might encode basic information for the construction of such theory.

description: We propose a joint feature compression and transmission scheme for efficient inference at the wireless network edge. Our goal is to enable efficient and reliable inference at the edge server assuming limited computational resources at the edge device. Previous work focused mainly on feature compression, ignoring the computational cost of channel coding. We incorporate the recently proposed deep joint source-channel coding (DeepJSCC) scheme, and combine it with novel filter pruning strategies aimed at reducing the redundant complexity from neural networks. We evaluate our approach on a classification task, and show improved results in both end-to-end reliability and workload reduction at the edge device. This is the first work that combines DeepJSCC with network pruning, and applies it to image classification over the wireless edge.

 Holotype: CHILE. I. Región, Tarapacá: FF. CC., Arica– La Paz km 108–106, Puquios, 1158 m, 27 September 1955, Ricardi 3537 (CONC, isotypes US-#02428996!, S).
 This is still a very poorly known species and differs from B. verticillata essentially in its shaggier pubescence and stiffly erect habit plus its well-developed short shoots (brachyblasts). A critical revision of herbarium specimens, and preferably field studies are required to clarify the affinities of this taxon. Balbisia stitchkinii is morphologically intermediate between B. peduncularis and B. microphylla and may represent either an independent, closely allied lineage, or a natural hybrid between the two.

The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Revised as predictor of grade point average among learning disabled college students
Creators: name: Leonard, Faith Cohoon

description: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 guarantees equal access for students with handicapping conditions to institutions of higher education that accept federal funding. In an attempt to assess academic potential for learning disabled applicants in a non-discriminatory manner, some institutions utilize the results of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) in the admissions process. The primary purpose of this study was to assess the validity of this practice by determining the extent to which WAIS-R data are predictive of grade point average when these data are regrouped according to Kaufman's factors and Bannatyne's categories and are entered into regression analyses. A secondary purpose was to contribute to a theoretical understanding of the cognitive profile of learning disabled college students through descriptive data. To these ends, data from the WAIS-R, GPA after two semesters of full-time enrollment and selected student characteristics were gathered for a sample of 49 learning disabled college students at a private, urban university. Mean Full Scale, Verbal and Performance IQs for this sample were comparable to those of similar samples in other studies. The cognitive strengths of the sample (reflected in comparatively high mean Comprehension and Similarities scores) and the cognitive weaknesses commonly attributed to learning disabilities (reflected in comparatively low mean Arithmetic and Digit Span scores) were also parallel to those of other samples. The hierarchy of the remaining mean scores more closely matched that of a study done with gifted learning disabled children than that of other studies done with learning disabled college students. Except for the Comprehension and similarities scores and Bannatyne's Verbal Conceptualizing Ability score, none of the WAIS-R data correlated significantly to GPA, a departure from the results of similar research with non-learning disabled college students in which Information and Vocabulary had the highest correlations to GPA. Given these results, none of Kaufman's factors nor Bannatyne's categories except for Bannatyne's Verbal Conceptualizing Ability category was significantly predictive of GPA. Consequently, university admissions personnel should exercise caution when employing WAIS-R data in the decision-making process for learning disabled applicants.

description: (abridged) We present the first XMM-Newton observations of the radio-quiet quasar MR2251-178 obtained in 2000 and 2002. The EPIC-pn spectra show a power-law continuum with a slope of 1.6 at high energies absorbed by at least two warm absorbers (WAs) intrinsic to the source. The underlying continuum in the earlier observation shows a soft excess at low X-ray energies which can be modeled as an additional power-law with a slope of 2.9. The high-resolution grating spectrum obtained in 2002 shows emission lines from N VI, O VII, O VIII, Ne IX, and Ne X, as well as absorption lines from the low-ionization ions of O III, O IV, and O V, and other confirmed and suspected weaker absorption lines. We suggest a model for the high-resolution spectrum which consist of two or three WA components. The two-components model has a high-ionization WA with a column density of 10^21.5 - 10^21.8 cm^-2 and a low-ionization absorber with a column density of 10^20.3 cm^-2. In the three-components model we add a lower ionization component that produce the observed iron M-shell absorption lines. We investigate the spectral variations in MR2251-178 over a period of 8.5 years using data from ASCA, BeppoSAX, and XMM-Newton. All X-ray observations can be fitted with the above EPIC-pn model. The 8.5 year history of the source suggests a changing X-ray absorber due to material that enters and disappears from the line-of-sight on timescales of several months. We also present the entire FUSE spectrum of MR2251-178. We detect emission from N III, C III, and O VI and at least 4 absorption systems in C III, H I, and O VI, one at -580 km/s and at least 3 others which are blended together and form a wide trough covering the velocity range of 0 to -500 km/s. The general characteristics of the UV and X-ray absorbers are consistent with an origin in the same gas.

description: Motivated by non-zero neutrino masses and the possibility of New Physics discovery, a number of experiments search for neutrinoless double beta decay. While hunting for this hypothetical nuclear process, a significant amount of two-neutrino double beta decay data has become available. Although these events are regarded and studied mostly as the background of neutrinoless double beta decay, they can be also used to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper we show how the presence of right-handed leptonic currents would affect the energy distribution and angular correlation of the outgoing electrons in two-neutrino double beta decay. Consequently, we estimate constraints imposed by currently available data on the existence of right-handed neutrino interactions without having to assume their nature. In this way our results complement the bounds coming from the non-observation of neutrinoless double beta decay as they limit also the exotic interactions of Dirac neutrinos. We perform a detailed calculation of two-neutrino double beta decay under the presence of exotic (axial-)vector currents and we demonstrate that current experimental searches can be competitive to existing limits.
