description: Physics education researchers have developed many evidence-based instructional strategies to enhance physics students' conceptual learning. These strategies have historically been tested using assessments such as the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) and Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FMCE). We have performed a review and analysis of FCI and FMCE data published between 1995 and 2014. We confirm previous findings that interactive engagement teaching techniques are significantly more likely to produce high student learning gains than traditional lecture-based instruction. We also establish that interactive engagement instruction works in many settings, including for students with a high and low level of prior knowledge, for liberal arts and research universities, and for small and large class sizes.

description: We examine the effects of $f(R)$ gravity on Jeans analysis of collapsing dust clouds. We provide a method for testing modified gravity models by their effects on star formation as the presence of $f(R)$ gravity is found to modify the limit for collapse. In this analysis we add perturbations to a de Sitter background. Depending on the characteristics of a chosen $f(R)$ model, the appearance of new limits is possible. The physicality of these limits is further examined. We find the asymptotic Jeans masses for $f(R)$ theories compared to standard Jeans mass. Through this ratio, the effects of the $f(R)$ modified Jeans mass for viable theories are examined in molecular clouds. Bok globules have a mass range comparable to Jeans masses in question and are therefore used for comparing different $f(R)$ models. Viable theories are found to assist in star formation.

description: A conservative Feller evolution on continuous bounded functions is constructed from a weakly continuous, time-inhomogeneous transition function describing a pure jump process on a locally compact Polish space. The transition function is assumed to satisfy a Foster-Lyapunov type condition. The results are applied to interacting particle systems in continuum, in particular to general birth-and-death processes (including jumps). Particular examples such as the BDLP and Dieckmann-Law model are considered in the end.

description: We address the blind detection of extragalactic point sources on maps of the temperature anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background as an image segmentation problem. We project the sky into two-dimensional patches and design a convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify the sources’ position through supervised training with binary labels. To improve the CNN performance, we divide the sky into three regions of progressively increasing Galactic foreground intensity and independently train specialized models for them. With this strategy, we achieve promising completeness levels even in the center of the Galactic plane.
Cross-correlation method for intermediate-duration gravitational wave searches associated with gamma-ray bursts

description: Several models of gamma-ray burst progenitors suggest that the gamma-ray event may be followed by gravitational wave signals of $10^3$-$10^4$ seconds duration (possibly accompanying the so-called X-ray afterglow "plateaus"). We term these signals "intermediate-duration" because they are shorter than continuous wave signals but longer than signals traditionally considered as gravitational wave bursts, and are difficult to detect with most burst and continuous wave methods. The cross-correlation technique proposed by [S. Dhurandhar et al., Phys. Rev. D 77, 082001 (2008)], which so far has been used only on continuous wave signals, in principle unifies both burst and continuous wave (as well as matched filtering and stochastic background) methods, reducing them to different choices of which data to correlate on which time scales. Here we perform the first tuning of this cross-correlation technique to intermediate-duration signals. We derive theoretical estimates of sensitivity in Gaussian noise in different limits of the cross-correlation formalism, and compare them to the performance of a prototype search code on simulated Gaussian-noise data. We estimate that the code is likely able to detect \emph{some} classes of intermediate-duration signals (such as the ones described in [A. Corsi \& P. Mészáros, Astrophys. J., 702, 1171 (2009)]) from sources located at astrophysically-relevant distances of several tens of Mpc.

Field e-books

description: This teacher’s guide provides information about the e-book ‘Field e-books for eco and climate explorers’ and its use in teaching. It also gives background information about Nature-based Solutions and offers additional material for inspiration.

The e-book is organized in an open, flexible manner that allows a range of different options for use – either as part of existing lessons plans or as an addition to a specific project. This allows you to adapt the e-book to specific classes and in relation to what nearby natural surroundings afford. To use the e-book, you may browse the options provided in the teacher’s guide and select the ones you find most appropriate to your class, based on your personal teaching needs and preferences. 

Because the e-books are both generic and open-ended, it is quite easy to use them in combination many different lessons – for example lessons on water, climate, insects, flora and fauna, biodiversity, etc. Because they are extremely flexible, they can be adapted to the specific needs and possibilities of each individual class

description: We present a numerical method which evolves a two-temperature, magnetized, radiative, accretion flow around a black hole, within the framework of general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics. As implemented in the code KORAL, the gas consists of two sub-components -- ions and electrons -- which share the same dynamics but experience independent, relativistically consistent, thermodynamical evolution. The electrons and ions are heated independently according to a standard prescription from the literature for magnetohydrodynamical turbulent dissipation. Energy exchange between the particle species via Coulomb collisions is included. In addition, electrons gain and lose energy and momentum by absorbing and emitting synchrotron and bremsstrahlung radiation, and through Compton scattering. All evolution equations are handled within a fully covariant framework in the relativistic fixed-metric spacetime of the black hole. Numerical results are presented for five models of low luminosity black hole accretion. In the case of a model with a mass accretion rate $\dot{M}\sim10^{-8} \dot M_{\rm Edd}$, we find that radiation has a negligible effect on either the dynamics or the thermodynamics of the accreting gas. In contrast, a model with a larger $\dot{M}\sim 4\times 10^{-4} \dot M_{\rm Edd}$ behaves very differently. The accreting gas is much cooler and the flow is geometrically less thick, though it is not quite a thin accretion disk.

description: Graphene is a carbon molecule with the structure of a honeycomb lattice. We show how this structure can arise in two dimensions as the minimizer of an interaction energy with two-body and three-body terms. In the engineering literature, the Brenner potential is commonly used to describe the interactions between carbon atoms. We consider a potential of Stillinger-Weber type that incorporates certain characteristics of the Brenner potential: the preferred bond angles are 180 degrees and all interactions have finite range. We show that the thermodynamic limit of the ground state energy per particle is the same as that of a honeycomb lattice. We also prove that, subject to periodic boundary conditions, the minimizers are translated versions of the honeycomb lattice.

description: The study of networks plays a crucial role in investigating the structure, dynamics, and function of a wide variety of complex systems in myriad disciplines. Despite the success of traditional network analysis, standard networks provide a limited representation of complex systems, which often include different types of relationships (i.e., "multiplexity") among their constituent components and/or multiple interacting subsystems. Such structural complexity has a significant effect on both dynamics and function. Throwing away or aggregating available structural information can generate misleading results and be a major obstacle towards attempts to understand complex systems. The recent "multilayer" approach for modeling networked systems explicitly allows the incorporation of multiplexity and other features of realistic systems. On one hand, it allows one to couple different structural relationships by encoding them in a convenient mathematical object. On the other hand, it also allows one to couple different dynamical processes on top of such interconnected structures. The resulting framework plays a crucial role in helping achieve a thorough, accurate understanding of complex systems. The study of multilayer networks has also revealed new physical phenomena that remain hidden when using ordinary graphs, the traditional network representation. Here we survey progress towards attaining a deeper understanding of spreading processes on multilayer networks, and we highlight some of the physical phenomena related to spreading processes that emerge from multilayer structure.

description: Directors of university museums are in charge of important and highly complex institutions that have a mission for research, teaching, collection, informal education, exhibition and dissemination of information. In a highly competitive, changing, and politically charged environment, the directors have so many responsibilities and expectations that they take on the role of a Superhero. In the search for a new director, museums must find a Superhero that is powerful, intelligent, highly skilled, and opportunistic. Indications are that it also is important for the director to be honest, fair, communicative and inspirational. To be successful, the director must create a shared vision, form a team of trusted assistants and develop a management culture that shares an enthusiasm, energy and passion for the museum's mission. To guide their actions, the concept is proposed that directors need a museum conscience based on a moral compass, an intellectual compass and a physical and psychological compass. Directors traditionally trained as scientists or academics will be more successful if they increase their knowledge in fundraising, finances and personnel management.

The Effect of Oxygen Content on the Tensile Properties of SLMed Ti6Al4V alloy

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a novel technique to produce net shape part directly from pre-alloyed powders. Ti6Al4V alloy, which consists of the α+β phase, is studied in the present work. During the SLM process some degree of oxygen is usually picked up because titanium has high affinity with oxygen atoms. Oxygen is an interstitial alloying element, it has strengthening effect on various Ti alloys, and it also increases the temperature of the beta transus. The commercial standard limits oxygen content below 0.2 wt% in Ti6Al4V.
 Oxygen concentration has influence on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V alloy but it should not lead to the formation of texture. However, it has been observed in the SLMed Ti6Al4V under different oxygen contents, tensile properties along vertical build direction and horizontal direction vary differently with the change in oxygen concentration. It appears that oxygen content in SLMed Ti6Al4V affects the texture of the SLMed microstructure. This study is to understand the underlining mechanism for the above effects. SLMed Ti6Al4V samples with oxygen content ranging from 1000 ppm to 1900 ppm have been characterized in terms of tensile properties, microstructure, lattice parameters, texture, and ordering of α phase.
 Microstructure analysis shows that the difference between yield stress from vertical and horizontal samples are accounted by the prior β grain size not the α Lath size. Lattice parameters calculated from XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) spectra indicates that the change in c/a ratio is negligible with changing oxygen content. Pole figures calculated from XRD shows similar weak texture on samples with different oxygen levels. TEM (Transmission electron microscopy) results reveals the presence of α2 phase in all tested samples.

Some of these collections specialise in the more than 360-year history of the University and in the history of Finnish science, while others are concerned with the history of medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, geology, and textiles, clothing and craft design. Previously, the collections were open only by appointment, but from autumn 2003 onwards, they will be open to the general public. The new museum will devote much effort to co-operation with students. The University will continue to develop its museum studies module and in the future students may be able to complete their practical training periods at the University Museum. These and other forms of co-operation will be outlined in this article.

description: Background: This study evaluates HbA1c measurements from dried blood spots collected on filter paper and compares HbA1c from filter paper (capillary blood) with HbA1c measured in venous blood. Methods: Patient satisfaction was evaluated using a questionnaire. The performance with the filter paper method was assessed by comparing HbA1c results from EDTA-blood samples obtained via dried blood spots with HbA1c results obtained with freshly hemolyzed blood (routine HbA1c). Adult patients visiting the outpatient clinic for HbA1c analyses were recruited for the evaluation of dried blood spot sampling at home. Laboratory personnel collected a capillary blood sample on filter paper as well as a venous EDTA-blood sample. The participants collected another capillary blood sample at home and sent the dried filter paper back to the laboratory. Samples were analyzed with an immunoturbidimetric assay. Results: Between-filter coefficient of variation was 1.8%. Filter paper HbA1c increased slightly during storage, particularly during the first 5 days. Filter paper HbA1c highly correlated with routine HbA1c (r=0.987). The evaluation of samples collected at home showed comparable HbA1c values by filter paper and routine sampling methods (n=93). Eighty-three percent of participants said they would like the filter method to be brought into practice. Conclusions: Home HbA1c sampling on filter paper is an acceptable sampling alternative for analysis of HbA1c. Clin Chem Lab Med 2009;47:1259–64.

description: The topology of pure Bi is controversial because of its very small ($\sim$10 meV) band gap. Here we perform high-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy measurements systematically on 14$-$202 bilayers Bi films. Using high-quality films, we succeed in observing quantized bulk bands with energy separations down to $\sim$10 meV. Detailed analyses on the phase shift of the confined wave functions precisely determine the surface and bulk electronic structures, which unambiguously show nontrivial topology. The present results not only prove the fundamental property of Bi but also introduce a capability of the quantum-confinement approach.

description: Using the linear T-dual ward identity associated with the NSNS gauge transformations, some RR couplings on D$_p$-branes have been found at order $O(α'^2)$. We examine the $C^{(p-1)}$ couplings with the S-matrix elements of one RR, one graviton and one antisymmetric B-field vertex operators. We find the consistency of T-dual S-matrix elements and explicit results of scattering string amplitude and show that the string amplitude reproduces these couplings as well as some other couplings. This illustration is found for $C^{(p-3)}$ couplings in the literature which is extended to the $C^{(p-1)}$ couplings in this paper.

SMASH!, is the Netherlands Forum for Smart Shipping, which brings the Dutch maritime sector together to implement smart shipping and strengthen the Dutch international competitive position. SMASH! is an abbreviation for smart shipping: highly automated sailing at sea, in ports and on inland waterways. In the Netherlands, a large number of organizations and companies are working on smart shipping and developments in the field of autonomous sailing. Currently these initiatives are very fragmented. By working together on a national scale, regional initiatives can be connected and generate a bigger impact. It is also easier to establish international connections. SMASH! brings together companies, government and knowledge institutions to do so.

description: Under the principle that quantum mechanical observables are invariant under relevant symmetry transformations, we explore how the usual, non-invariant quantities may capture measurement statistics. Using a relativisation mapping, viewed as the incorporation of a quantum reference frame, we show that the usual quantum description approximates the relative one precisely when the reference system admits an appropriate localisable quantity and a localised state. From this follows a new perspective on the nature and reality of quantum superpositions and optical coherence.

description: The spectrum of relic gravitational wave (RGW) contains high-frequency divergences, which should be removed. We present a systematic study of the issue, based on the exact RGW solution that covers the five stages, from inflation to the acceleration, each being a power law expansion. We show that the present RGW consists of vacuum dominating at $f>10^{11}$Hz and graviton dominating at $f<10^{11}$Hz, respectively. The gravitons are produced by the four cosmic transitions, mostly by the inflation-reheating one. We perform adiabatic regularization to remove vacuum divergences in three schemes: at present, at the end of inflation, and at horizon-exit, to the 2-nd adiabatic order for the spectrum, and the 4-th order for energy density and pressure. In the first scheme a cutoff is needed to remove graviton divergences. We find that all three schemes yield the spectra of a similar profile, and the primordial spectrum defined far outside horizon during inflation is practically unaffected. We also regularize the gauge-invariant perturbed inflaton and the scalar curvature perturbation by the last two schemes, and find that the scalar spectra, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the consistency relation remain unchanged.

description: The shared representations account of empathy suggests that sharing other people’s emotions relies on neural processes similar to those engaged when experiencing such emotions oneself. Recent research corroborated this account by showing that experimentally reducing first-hand pain by means of placebo analgesia also resulted in reduced empathy for pain, and decreased activation in the shared neural networks. However, what has not been investigated yet, but is of much greater relevance, is whether the effects of placebo analgesia transfer to actual behavior. In other words, it is still not clear if the reduced empathic abilities, induced with placebo analgesia, have an influence on moral social behavior, that we show towards other, e.g. helping someone in need. With this project we therefore want to investigate in greater detail, to what extent placebo analgesia shows an effect on prosocial behavior.

description: Aims: Bilateral pelvic neurectomy (BPN) interferes with delivery in rats. This work measures the effect of BPN on uterine and abdominal electromyography (EMG) and pressure during gestation and delivery. Methods: Uterine EMG and intra-uterine pressure (IUP), as well as abdominal muscle EMG and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), were recorded on days 19–24 in rats. Mean values were determined for the peak frequency of the power density spectrum (PDS) of the uterine and abdominal EMG “bursts,” the integral of the abdominal EMG power spectrum (IPS), and the area under the IUP and IAP curves (AUIUP and AUIAP). Results: Uterine EMG power density spectrum peak frequency and AUIUP were low during days 19–21 in all rats, and on days 22–23 increased sharply and significantly in both groups. Before delivery, sham rat recordings showed sudden sharp increases in AUIAP, AUIUP and IPS as “pushing” was observed. Pushing was not observed or recorded in laboring BPN rats and they did not deliver normally. Conclusions: A functional pelvic nerve is required for normal labor and delivery in rats. BPN inhibits abdominal EMG and contractions necessary to expel the fetus.

Multiscale Monte Carlo equilibration: Two-color QCD with two fermion flavors

description: We demonstrate the applicability of a recently proposed multiscale thermalization algorithm to two-color quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with two mass-degenerate fermion flavors. The algorithm involves refining an ensemble of gauge configurations that had been generated using a renormalization group (RG) matched coarse action, thereby producing a fine ensemble that is close to the thermalized distribution of a target fine action; the refined ensemble is subsequently rethermalized using conventional algorithms. Although the generalization of this algorithm from pure Yang-Mills theory to QCD with dynamical fermions is straightforward, we find that in the latter case, the method is susceptible to numerical instabilities during the initial stages of rethermalization when using the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. We find that these instabilities arise from large fermion forces in the evolution, which are attributed to an accumulation of spurious near-zero modes of the Dirac operator. We propose a simple strategy for curing this problem, and demonstrate that rapid thermalization--as probed by a variety of gluonic and fermionic operators--is possible with the use of this solution. In addition, we study the sensitivity of rethermalization rates to the RG matching of the coarse and fine actions, and identify effective matching conditions based on a variety of measured scales.

description: We define a planar para algebra, which arises naturally from combining planar algebras with the idea of $\mathbb{Z}_{N}$ para symmetry in physics. A subfactor planar para algebra is a Hilbert space representation of planar tangles with parafermionic defects, that are invariant under para isotopy. For each $\mathbb{Z}_{N}$, we construct a family of subfactor planar para algebras which play the role of Temperley-Lieb-Jones planar algebras. The first example in this family is the parafermion planar para algebra (PAPPA). Based on this example, we introduce parafermion Pauli matrices, quaternion relations, and braided relations for parafermion algebras which one can use in the study of quantum information. An important ingredient in planar para algebra theory is the string Fourier transform (SFT), that we use on the matrix algebra generated by the Pauli matrices. Two different reflections play an important role in the theory of planar para algebras. One is the adjoint operator; the other is the modular conjugation in Tomita-Takesaki theory. We use the latter one to define the double algebra and to introduce reflection positivity. We give a new and geometric proof of reflection positivity, by relating the two reflections through the string Fourier transform.

description: We develop the energy budget equation of the coupled Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard (NSCH) system. We use the NSCH equations to model the dynamics of liquid droplets in a liquid continuum. Buoyancy effects are accounted for through the Boussinesq assumption. We physically interpret each quantity involved in the energy exchange to further insight into the model. Highly resolved simulations involving density-driven flows and merging of droplets allow us to analyze these energy budgets. In particular, we focus on the energy exchanges when droplets merge, and describe flow features relevant to this phenomenon. By comparing our numerical simulations to analytical predictions and experimental results available in the literature, we conclude that modeling droplet dynamics within the framework of NSCH equations is a sensible approach worth further research.

description: The shared representations account of empathy suggests that sharing other people’s emotions relies on neural processes similar to those engaged when experiencing such emotions oneself. Recent research corroborated this account by showing that experimentally reducing first-hand pain by means of placebo analgesia also resulted in reduced empathy for pain, and decreased activation in the shared neural networks, namely the affective-motivational component of the pain matrix. However, the role of the more basic sensory-discriminative component in the context of empathy is still not clear. The present project therefore aims to explore the role of the somatosensory part of pain processing during empathy for another’s pain and its modulation by placebo analgesia by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a tailored experimental paradigm.
A broad class of shellable lattices

description: We introduce a new class of lattices, the modernistic lattices, and their duals, the comodernistic lattices. We show that every modernistic or comodernistic lattice has shellable order complex. We go on to exhibit a large number of examples of (co)modernistic lattices. We show comodernism for two main families of lattices that were not previously known to be shellable: the order congruence lattices of finite posets, and a weighted generalization of the k-equal partition lattices. We also exhibit many examples of (co)modernistic lattices that were already known to be shellable. To start with, the definition of modernistic is a common weakening of the definitions of semimodular and supersolvable. We thus obtain a unified proof that lattice in these classes are shellable. Subgroup lattices of solvable groups form another family of comodernistic lattices that were already proved to be shellable. We show not only that subgroup lattices of solvable groups are comodernistic, but that solvability of a group is equivalent to the comodernistic property on its subgroup lattice. Indeed, the definition of comodernistic exactly requires on every interval a lattice-theoretic analogue of the composition series in a solvable group. Thus, the relation between comodernistic lattices and solvable groups resembles, in several respects, that between supersolvable lattices and supersolvable groups.

description: Gentherapie und Zellersatz im zentralen Nervensystem (ZNS) werden durch die Blut-Hirn-Schranke behindert, die den Übertritt von Plasmabestandteilen und Zellen in das ZNS limitiert. Genetisch modifizierte Knochenmarkszellen können jedoch ungeachtet der intakten Blut-Hirn-Schranke in das ZNS einwandern und dort zu Mikroglia differenzieren. Neurone signalisieren eine Schädigung an benachbarte Glia und rekrutieren Zellen hämatopoetischen Ursprungs gezielt an den Ort der Läsion. Aus adulten Stammzellen des Knochenmarks können schliesslich Nervenzellen entstehen, die in die komplexe Architektur des ZNS integriert werden. Die Befunde liefern neue Ansätze für die Therapie von ZNS-Erkrankungen.
description: Gene therapy and cell replacement strategies in the central nervous system (CNS) are hindered by the presence of the blood-brain barrier, which restricts access of serum constituents and peripheral cells to the CNS. Genetically modified bone marrow-derived cells are capable of entering the CNS in spite of the blood-brain barrier and they differentiate into microglia. Neurons signal damage to neighbouring glia and recruit cells of hematopoietic origin specifically to the sites of damage. Finally, adult bone marrow stem cells may generate new neurons which are incorporated into the complex cytoarchitecture of the CNS. The results provide a new approach for the therapy of CNS disorders.
