description: Advances in electronics have brought the promise of wearable computers to near reality. Such systems can offer a highly personal and mobile information and communication infrastructure. Previous research has investigated where wearable computers can be located on the human body - critical for successful development and acceptance. However, for a location to be truly useful, it needs to not only be accessible for interaction, socially acceptable, comfortable and sufficiently stable for electronics, but also effective at conveying information. In this paper, we describe the results from a study that evaluated reaction time performance to visual stimuli at seven different body locations. Results indicate that there are numerous and statistically significant differences in the reaction time performance characteristics of these locations. We believe our findings can be used to inform the design and placement of future wearable computing applications and systems.

Giant repeated ejections from GRS 1915+105

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We report simultaneous millimetre and infrared observations of a sequence of very large amplitude quasi-periodic oscillations from the black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105. These oscillations are near the end of a sequence of over 700 repeated events as observed at 15 GHz, and are simultaneous at the mm and infrared wavelengths to within our time resolution (<4 min), consistent with the respective emitting regions being physically close near the base of the outflow. One infrared event appears to have no mm counterpart, perhaps due to highly variable absorption. The overall radio-mm-infrared spectrum around the time of the observations does suggest some absorption at lower frequencies. We calculate the energy and mass-flow into the outflow for a number of different assumptions, and find that the time-averaged power required to produce the observed synchrotron emission cannot be much less than 3e38 erg/s, and is likely to be much larger. This minimum power requirement is found regardless of whether the observed emission arises in discrete ejections or in an internal shock in a quasi-continuous flow. Depending on the similarity of the physical conditions in the two types of ejection, GRS 1915+105 may be supplying more power (and mass, if both have the same baryonic component) to the jet during periods of repeated oscillations than during the more obvious larger events.

description: Quantum mechanics, in principle, allows for processes with indefinite causal order. However, most of these causal anomalies have not yet been detected experimentally. We show that every such process can be simulated experimentally by means of non-Markovian dynamics with a measurement on additional degrees of freedom. Explicitly, we provide a constructive scheme to implement arbitrary acausal processes. Furthermore, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for open system dynamics with measurement to yield processes that respect causality locally, and find that tripartite entanglement and nonlocal unitary transformations are crucial requirements for the simulation of causally indefinite processes. These results show a direct connection between three counter-intuitive concepts: non-Markovianity, entanglement, and causal indefiniteness.

When Participants Do the Capturing: The Role of Media in Diary Studies

name: Mankoff, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2005
Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: In this paper, we investigate how the choice of media for capture and access affects the diary study method. The diary study is a method of understanding participant behavior and intent in situ that minimizes the effects of observers on participants. We first situate diary studies within a framework of field studies and review related literature. We then report on three diary studies we conducted that involve photographs, audio recordings, location information and tangible artifacts. We then analyze our findings, specifically addressing the following questions: How do context information and episodic memory prompts captured by participants vary with media? In what way do different media “jog” memory? How do different media affect the diary study process? These questions are particularly important for diary studies because they can be especially useful as compared to other methods when a participant intends to do an action but does not or when actions are particularly difficult to sense. We also built and tested a tool based on participant and researcher frustrations with the method. Our contribution includes suggested modifications to traditional diary techniques that enable annotation and review of captured media; a new variation on the diary study appropriate for researchers using digital capture media; and a lightweight tool to support it, motivated by past work and findings from our studies.

description: The paper deals with co-derivative formulae for normal cone mappings to smooth inequality systems. Both, the regular (Linear Independence Constraint Qualification satisfied) and nonregular (Mangasarian-Fromovitz Constraint Qualification satisfied) case are considered. A major part of the results relies on general transformation formulae previously obtained by Mordukhovich and Outrata. This allows to derive exact formulae for general smooth, regular and polyhedral, possibly nonregular systems. In the nonregular, nonpolyhedral case a generalized transformation formula by Mordukhovich and Outrata applies, however a major difficulty consists in checking a calmness condition of a certain multivalued mapping. The paper provides a translation of this condition in terms of much easier to verify constraint qualifications. A series of examples illustrates the use and comparison of the presented formulae.
When is Assistance Helpful to Learning? Results in Combining Worked Examples and Intelligent Tutoring

description: When should instruction provide or withhold assistance? In three empirical studies, we have investigated whether worked examples, a highassistance approach, studied in conjunction with tutored problems to be solved, a mid-level assistance approach, can lead to better learning. Contrary to prior results with untutored problem solving, a low-assistance approach, we found that worked examples alternating with isomorphic tutored problems did not produce more learning gains than tutored problems alone. However, the examples group across the three studies learned more efficiently than the tutored-alone group. Our studies, in conjunction with past studies, suggest that mid-level assistance leads to better learning than either lower or higher level assistance. However, while our results are illuminating, more work is needed to develop predictive theory for what combinations of assistance yield the most effective and efficient learning.
Calculation of positron binding to silver and gold atoms

description: Positron binding to silver and gold atoms was studied using a fully {\it ab initio} relativistic method, which combines the configuration interaction method with many-body perturbation theory. It was found that the silver atom forms a bound state with a positron with binding energy 123 ($\pm$ 20%) meV, while the gold atom cannot bind a positron. Our calculations reveal the importance of the relativistic effects for positron binding to heavy atoms. The role of these effects was studied by varying the value of the fine structure constant $α$. In the non-relativistic limit, $α= 0$, both systems $e^+$Ag and $e^+$Au are bound with binding energies of about 200 meV for $e^+$Ag and 220 meV for $e^+$Au. Relativistic corrections for a negative ion are essentially different from that for a positron interacting with an atom. Therefore, the calculation of electron affinities cannot serve as a test of the method used for positron binding in the non-relativistic case. However, it is still a good test of the relativistic calculations. Our calculated electron affinities for silver (1.327 eV) and gold (2.307 eV) atoms are in very good agreement with corresponding experimental values (1.303 eV and 2.309 eV respectively).

description: In this paper, we introduce the concept of a Rota-Baxter paired module to study Rota-Baxter modules without necessarily a Rota-Baxter operator. We obtain two characterizations of Rota-Baxter paired modules, and give some basic properties of Rota-Baxter paired modules. Beginning with the connection between the notion of integrals in the representations of Hopf algebra and of the notion of an integral algebra as a motivation and special case of Rota-Baxter algebra of weight zero, we obtain a large number of Rota-Baxter paired modules from Hopf related algebras and modules, including semisimple Hopf algebras, weak Hopf algebras, Long bialgebras, quasitriangular Hopf algebras, weak Hopf modules, dimodules and Doi-Hopf modules. Some of them give new examples of Rota-Baxter algebras.

Assuming that the underlying generalized equation satisfies strong regularity in the sense of Robinson, an explicit multiplier-based stationarity condition can be derived. This is applied then to an equilibrium model arising from ISO-regulated electricity spot markets.

description: Validity of the single parameter scaling (SPS) in one dimensional Anderson model with purely off-diagonal disorder is being studied. It is shown that the localized region with standard symmetry is divided into two regimes: SPS and non-SPS. Scaling relations of the Lyapunov Exponent are proposed for these two regimes. In the non-SPS regime, in additional to the localization length, there exists a new length scale which is related to the integrated density of states. A physical interpretation of the new length is the cross-over length which separates regions with chiral symmetry from those that have standard symmetry.

Anomalous Diffusion in a Dynamical Optical Lattice

description: Motivated by experimental progress in strongly coupled atom-photon systems in optical cavities, we study theoretically the quantum dynamics of atoms coupled to a one-dimensional dynamical optical lattice. The dynamical lattice is chosen to have a period that is incommensurate with that of an underlying static lattice, leading to a dynamical version of the Aubry-André model which can cause localization of single-particle wavefunctions. We show that atomic wavepackets in this dynamical lattice generically spread via anomalous diffusion, which can be tuned between super-diffusive and sub-diffusive regimes. This anomalous diffusion arises from an interplay between quantum localization and quantum fluctuations of the cavity field.

description: Students in classrooms are starting to use visual argumentation tools for e-discussions – a form of debate in which contributions are written into graphical shapes and linked to one another according to whether they, for instance, support or oppose one another. In order to moderate several simultaneous e-discussions effectively, teachers must be alerted regarding events of interest. We focused on the identification of clusters of contributions representing interaction patterns that are of pedagogical interest (e.g., a student clarifies his or her opinion and then gets feedback from other students). We designed an algorithm that takes an example cluster as input and uses inexact graph matching, text analysis, and machine learning classifiers to search for similar patterns in a given corpus. The method was evaluated on an annotated dataset of real e-discussions and was able to detect almost 80% of the annotated clusters while providing acceptable precision performance.

Semi-transparent brane-worlds

description: We study the evolution of a closed Friedmann brane perturbed by the Hawking radiation escaping a bulk black hole. The semi-transparent brane absorbes some of the infalling radiation, the rest being transmitted across the brane to the other bulk region. We characterize the cosmological evolution in terms of the transmission rate $ε$. For small values of $ε$ a critical-like behaviour could be observed, when the acceleration due to radiation pressure and the deceleration induced by the increasing self-gravity of the brane roughly compensate each other, and cosmological evolution is approximately the same as without radiation. Lighter (heavier) branes than those with the critical energy density will recollapse slower (faster). This feature is obstructed at high values of $ε$, where the overall effect of the radiation is to speed-up the recollapse. We determine the maximal value of the transmission rate for which the critical-like behaviour is observed. We also study the effect of transmission on the evolution of different source terms of the Friedmann equation. We conclude that among all semi-transparent branes the slowest recollapse occurs for light branes with total absorption.

Thermodynamics of quantum systems strongly coupled to a heat bath I. Operator thermodynamic functions and relations

description: The thermodynamics of small quantum many-body systems strongly coupled to a heat bath at low temperatures with non-Markovian behavior are new challenges for quantum thermodynamics, as traditional thermodynamics is built on large systems vanishingly weakly coupled to a non-dynamical reservoir. Important also are the quantum attributes, as in quantum coherence, correlations, entanglement and fluctuations. All told, one needs to reexamine the meaning of the thermodynamic functions, the viability of the thermodynamic relations and the validity of the thermodynamic laws anew. In one popular approach to quantum thermodynamics the closed system, comprising the system of interest and the bath it is strongly coupled to, is assumed to be in a global thermal state throughout. In this set-up three theories of thermodynamics at strong coupling have been proposed, those of Gelin & Thoss [1], Seifert [2] and Jarzynski [3]. This paper provides a quantum formulation of them, with Jarzynski's two different representations encompassing the former two. Operator thermodynamic potentials and thermodynamic relations are presented. We mention issues related to energy and entropy in the two representations, a possible way to define quantum work in our functional formulation, and how to connect with the open system nonequilibrium dynamics approach to quantum thermodynamics, as proposed in [4].

description: This paper examines the ethical underpinnings in integrating structural and construction knowledge into academic design/build studios using two different models of collaboration. The paper investigated the implications of each model on the students’ learning experience as well as its related issues of risk and responsibilities within the host institutions. Both studios were conceived at non-NAAB accredited undergraduate four-year programs in architecture in two different countries (Turkey and the United States respectively). Both studios engaged students in designing and building projects from conception to realization, working with real clients, city officials and engineers. The Turkey studio involved collaborating with an ‘academic’ structural engineer, while the US studio utilized collaboration with a ‘practicing’ structural engineer. In the presented two cases, the ethical dimension between the product and the process was explored through rigorous participation from both the students and the collaborators. The result of both studios exceeded the sole delivery of the physical object into installing a profound understanding of the role of structural knowledge integration into architecture. This paper reflects on the two experimental models and evaluates the value of integrating building technology into the design and construction education.

description: Sometimes people cannot remember the names or locations of things on their computer, but they can remember what other things are associated with them. We created Feldspar, the first system that fully supports this associative retrieval of personal information on the computer. Feldspar’s contributions include (1) an intuitive user interface that allows users to find information by interactively and incrementally specifying multiple levels of associations as retrieval queries, such as: “find the file from the person who I met at an event in May”; and (2) algorithms for collecting the association information and for providing answers to associative queries in real-time. A user study showed that Feldspar is easy to use, and suggested that it might be faster than conventional browsing and searching for these kinds of retrieval tasks. Feldspar could be an important addition to search and browsing tools.

Gauge symmetry, chirality and parity violation in four-particle systems: Coulomb's law as a universal molecular function

description: Following recent work in search of a universal function (Van Hooydonk, Eur J Inorg Chem, 1999, 1617), we test symmetric potentials for reproducing molecular potential energy curves (PECs). For a bond, a four-particle system, charge inversion is the key to explain this shape generically. A parity adapted Hamiltonian reduces from ten to two terms. The analytical perturbed Coulomb function scales attractive and repulsive branches of 13 PECs (HH, HF, LiH, KH, AuH, LiLi, LiF, KLi, NaCs, RbRb,RbCs, CsCs and II) in a single straight line. Turning points are reproduced with a deviation of 0.3 % (0.007 angstrom). At the repulsive side, the deviation is 0.2 % (0.003 angstrom). The ab initio zero molecular parameter function gives PECs of acceptable quality, just using atomic ionisation energies. The function can be used as a model potential for inverting energy levels. The theory may be tested with femtochemistry. Reactions between hydrogen and anti-hydrogen, feasible in the near future, will probably produce normal HH.

Interaction links can break when agents fail to reach an opinion agreement. The structure of the network and the distribution of opinions over the population evolve towards a state where the population is divided into disconnected communities whose agents share the same opinion. The statistical properties of this final state vary considerably as the model parameters are changed. Community sizes and their internal connectivity are the quantities used to characterize such variations.

Emissivities for the various Graviton Modes in the Background of the Higher-Dimensional Black Hole

description: The Hawking emissivities for the scalar-, vector-, and tensor-mode bulk gravitons are computed in the full range of the graviton's energy by adopting the analytic continuation numerically when the spacetime background is $(4+n)$-dimensional non-rotating black hole. The total emissivity for the gravitons is only 5.16% of that for the spin-0 field when there is no extra dimension. However, this ratio factor increases rapidly when the extra dimensions exist. For example, this factor becomes 147.7%, 595.2% and 3496% when the number of extra dimensions is 1, 2 and 6, respectively. This fact indicates that the Hawking radiation for the graviton modes becomes more and more significant and dominant with increasing the number of extra dimensions.

description: The growth rate of the blue tilapia, Oreochromis aureus, was measured in fresh water, 15 ‰ salinity, and 30 ‰ salinity. The fish were given a hormone-treated feed to sex-reverse the females. Acclimations were achieved by raising the salinity only 5 ‰ per day. A biofilter and frequent water changes were used to maintain water quality in each 40 1 system. Synthetic sea salts were used to achieve desired salinity. The fish were grown for 87 days at 27°-30° C.

So significant difference in growth rate occurred among the three treatments. Salinity did not influence mortalities. All fish appeared to be males.
Nature of stochastic ion heating in the solar wind: testing the dependence on plasma beta and turbulence amplitude

description: The solar wind undergoes significant heating as it propagates away from the Sun; the exact mechanisms responsible for this heating are not yet fully understood. We present for the first time a statistical test for one of the proposed mechanisms, stochastic ion heating. We use the amplitude of magnetic field fluctuations near the proton gyroscale as a proxy for the ratio of gyroscale velocity fluctuations to perpendicular (with respect to the magnetic field) proton thermal speed, defined as $ε_p$. Enhanced proton temperatures are observed when $ε_p$ is larger than a critical value ($\sim 0.019 - 0.025$). This enhancement strongly depends on the proton plasma beta ($β_{||p}$); when $β_{||p} \ll 1$ only the perpendicular proton temperature $T_{\perp}$ increases, while for $β_{||p} \sim 1$ increased parallel and perpendicular proton temperatures are both observed. For $ε_p$ smaller than the critical value and $β_{||p} \ll 1$ no enhancement of $T_p$ is observed while for $β_{||p} \sim 1$ minor increases in $T_{\parallel}$ are measured. The observed change of proton temperatures across a critical threshold for velocity fluctuations is in agreement with the stochastic ion heating model of Chandran et al. (2010). We find that $ε_p > ε_{\rm crit}$ in 76\% of the studied periods implying that stochastic heating may operate most of the time in the solar wind at 1 AU.

description: A simulated student is a machine learning agent that learns a set of cognitive skills by observing solutions demonstrated by human experts. The learned cognitive skills are converted into a cognitive model for a Cognitive Tutor that is a computerized tutor that teaches human students the cognitive skills. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of the effective demonstrations that lead to quicker and more accurate learning. Results from empirical studies show that expressive demonstrations (as opposed to abbreviated demonstrations that involve implicit mental operations) are better for both speed and accuracy of learning. We also found that providing multiple demonstrations of the same cognitive skill with differing surface features accelerates learning. These findings imply that the ordering of training sequence as well as the level of detail in demonstration determines the efficiency with which a simulated student generates a cognitive model.

description: Como género literario, la autobiografía tiene una estructura rígida y depende de una identificación absoluta entre el autor, el narrador y el protagonista. Al cumplir con este requisito el texto asume el “pacto autobiográfico” tal y como lo plantea Philippe Lejeune. El pacto autobiográfico es “the affirmation in the text of this identity [of the author- narrator-protagonist], referring back in the final analysis to the name of the author on the cover” (Lejeune 14). Existe también un pacto tácito entre la obra autobiográfica y el lector en el cual se sobreentiende que el lector reconocerá automáticamente el intercambio entre el sujeto escritor, el sujeto narrador y el sujeto que protagoniza la obra. Sin embargo, la sólida construcción de una subjetividad autobiográfica depende necesariamente de la estabilidad entre identificación y lo que se identifica. Esto implica que solamente los sujetos que pertenecen a formas de identificación reconocidas pueden participar en el acto de escribir una autobiografía.

description: Electron spins in an InGaAs semiconductor quantum well are used as a magnetometer of magnetic stray-fields from patterned Fe stripes. Using time-resolved Faraday rotation, the coherent precession of quantum-well spins in the inhomogeneous field below the Fe stripes is measured for varying magnetic fields. Comparing with reference stripes made of Au, we find an enhancement of the spin precession frequency proportional to the Fe magnetization, in line with a decrease of the spin decay time, which is attributed to the inhomogeneous magnetic stray-field in the quantum well layer.

description: One of the first, most common, and most useful applications that today's computer users access is the World Wide Web (web). One population of users for whom the web is especially important is those with motor disabilities, because it may enable them to do things that they might not otherwise be able to do: shopping; getting an education; running a business. This is particularly important for low bandwidth users: users with such limited motor and speech that they can only produce one or two signals when communicating with a computer. We present requirements for low bandwidth web accessibility, and two tools that address these requirements. The first is a modifified web browser, the second a proxy that modifies HTML. Both work without requiring web page authors to modify their pages.

description: Let $G$ be a Lie group of even dimension and let $(g,J)$ be a left invariant anti-Kähler structure on $G$. In this article we study anti-Kähler structures considering the distinguished cases where the complex structure $J$ is abelian or bi-invariant. We find that if $G$ admits a left invariant anti-Kähler structure $(g,J)$ where $J$ is abelian then the Lie algebra of $G$ is unimodular and $(G,g)$ is a flat pseudo-Riemannian manifold. For the second case, we see that for any left invariant metric $g$ for which $J$ is an anti-isometry we obtain that the triple $(G, g, J)$ is an anti-Kähler manifold. Besides, given a left invariant anti-Hermitian structure on $G$ we associate a covariant $3$-tensor $θ$ on its Lie algebra and prove that such structure is anti-Kähler if and only if $θ$ is a skew-symmetric and pure tensor. From this tensor we classify the real 4-dimensional Lie algebras for which the corresponding Lie group has a left invariant anti-Kähler structure and study the moduli spaces of such structures (up to group isomorphisms that preserve the anti-Kähler structures).

Dynamics below the depinning threshold

description: We study the steady-state low-temperature dynamics of an elastic line in a disordered medium below the depinning threshold. Analogously to the equilibrium dynamics, in the limit T->0, the steady state is dominated by a single configuration which is occupied with probability one. We develop an exact algorithm to target this dominant configuration and to analyze its geometrical properties as a function of the driving force. The roughness exponent of the line at large scales is identical to the one at depinning. No length scale diverges in the steady state regime as the depinning threshold is approached from below. We do find, a divergent length, but it is associated only with the transient relaxation between metastable states.

description: In 1973, the OPEAC oil embargo shocked America out of its energy complacency—the era of cheap, seemingly limitless energy had come to an abrupt, disruptive halt. The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) responded, publishing Architecture, Energy & Education in 1984, a mere 11 years after the energy crisis began. Architecture, Energy & Education identified four barriers to teaching energy in architecture: methodological, structural, attitudinal, and informational. Of the four barriers, the informational barrier was arguably the most formidable, because energy modeling was slow and inaccessible during the 1980s. However, this situation rapidly changed in the 1990s and early 2000s during what has been called the “digital turn in architecture.” With more computing power and accessible, graphic-based interfaces, energy modeling left the realm of the programming specialist and joined the realm of the practitioner. Flash forward to today, when architects have access to nearly real-time energy modeling. This paper argues that the accessibility of such modeling mandates that architects use it for the benefit of society. In other words, the digital turn has resulted in an ethical obligation.
A milling model with thermal effects including the dynamics of machine and work piece

description: This paper deals with the development of a new mathematical model that characterizes the structure-process interaction for a complex milling system. The structure is divided into a work piece and a machine part, which are represented by different models. While the machine dynamics is characterized by a standard multi-body system, the work piece is described as a linear thermo-elastic continuum. The coupling of both parts is carried out by an empirical process model permitting an estimate of heat and coupling forces occurring during milling. This work reports the derivation of the governing equations emphasizing the coupling and summarizes the numerical algorithms being applied to solve the coupled equation system. The results of numerical simulations that show the dynamics of the complex thermo-mechanical system are presented at the end.

Quantum Thermodynamics for Driven Dissipative Bosonic Systems

description: We investigate two prototypical dissipative bosonic systems under slow driving and arbitrary system-bath coupling strength, recovering their dynamic evolution as well as the heat and work rates, and we verify that thermodynamic laws are respected. Specifically, we look at the damped harmonic oscillator and the damped two-level system. For the former, we study independently the slow time- dependent perturbation in the oscillator frequency and in the coupling strength. For the latter, we concentrate on the slow modulation of the energy gap between the two levels. Importantly, we are able to find the entropy production rates for each case without explicitly defining nonequilibrium extensions for the entropy functional. This analysis also permits the definition of phenomenological friction coefficients in terms of structural properties of the system-bath composite.

description: Modern physics is largely defined by fundamental symmetry principles and Noether's Theorem. Yet these are not taught, or rarely mentioned, to beginning students, thus missing an opportunity to reveal that the subject of physics is as lively and contemporary as molecular biology, and as beautiful as the arts. We prescribe a symmetry module to insert into the curriculum, of a week's length.

description: This paper is designed to calculate the branching ratio of four-body decays of $B$ meson with lepton number changed by 2. With the new experimental data limit to lepton-number violation processes, we update the upper limits of mixing parameters between heavy Majorana neutrino and charged leptons. Afterwards, we calculate the branching ratio of $B^0(P)\rightarrow D^{*-}(P_1)\ell^+_1(P_2)\ell^+_2(P_3)M_2^-(P_4)$ using the updated parameters. It is found that the most hopeful decay channel is $B^0(P)\rightarrow D^{*-}(P_1)e^+_1(P_2)e^+_2(P_3)ρ^-(P_4)$ or $B^0(P)\rightarrow D^{*-}(P_1)e(μ)^+_1(P_2)μ(e)^+_2(P_3)ρ^-(P_4)$, whose branching ratio can reach about $10^{-4}$ with heavy Majorana neutrino mass range around $2~\mathrm{GeV}$.
