description: We construct a weak dilation of a not necessarily unital CP-semigroup to an E-semigroup acting on the adjointable operators of a Hilbert module with a unit vector. We construct the dilation in such a way that the dilating E-semigroup has a pre-assigned product system. Then, making use of the commutant of von Neumann correspondences, we apply the dilation theorem to proof that covariant representations of product systems admit isometric dilations.

Validating Fewest-Switches Surface Hopping in the Presence of Laser Fields

description: The capability of fewest-switches surface hopping (FSSH) to describe non-adiabatic dynamics of small and medium sized molecules under explicit excitation with external fields is evaluated. Different parameters in FSSH and combinations thereof are benchmarked against multi-configurational time dependent Hartree (MCTDH) reference calculations using SO$_2$ and 2-thiocytosine as model, yet realistic, molecular systems. Qualitatively, we find that FSSH is able to reproduce the trends in the MCTDH dynamics with (and without) an explicit external field; however, no set of FSSH parameters is ideal. An adequate treatment of the overcoherence in FSSH is identified as the driving factor to improve the description of the excitation process with respect to the MCTDH reference. Here two corrections were tested, the augmented-FSSH (AFSSH) and the energy-based decoherence correction. A dependence on the employed basis is detected for the AFSSH algorithm, performing better when spin-orbit and external laser field couplings are treated as off-diagonal elements instead of projecting them onto the diagonal of the Hamilton operator. In the presence of an electric field, the excited state dynamics was found to depend strongly on the vector used to rescale the kinetic energy along after a transition between surfaces. For SO$_2$, recurrence of the excited wave packet throughout the duration of the applied laser pulse is observed for long laser pulses (>100~fs), resulting in additional interferences not captured by FSSH and only visible in variational multi-configurational Gaussian when utilizing a large amount of gaussian basis functions. This feature essentially vanishes when going towards larger molecules, such as 2-thiocytosine, where this effect is barely visible in a laser pulse with a full width at half maximum of 200~fs.

description: Peer-grouping is used in many sectors for organisational learning, policy implementation, and benchmarking. Clustering provides a statistical, data-driven method for constructing meaningful peer groups, but peer groups must be compatible with business constraints such as size and stability considerations. Additionally, statistical peer groups are constructed from many different variables, and can be difficult to understand, especially for non-statistical audiences. We developed methodology to apply business constraints to clustering solutions and allow the decision-maker to choose the balance between statistical goodness-of-fit and conformity to business constraints. Several tools were utilised to identify complex distinguishing features in peer groups, and a number of visualisations are developed to explain high-dimensional clusters for non-statistical audiences. In a case study where peer group size was required to be small ($\leq 100$ members), we applied constrained clustering to a noisy high-dimensional data-set over two subsequent years, ensuring that the clusters were sufficiently stable between years. Our approach not only satisfied clustering constraints on the test data, but maintained an almost monotonic negative relationship between goodness-of-fit and stability between subsequent years. We demonstrated in the context of the case study how distinguishing features between clusters can be communicated clearly to different stakeholders with substantial and limited statistical knowledge.

description: Geometric Algebra and Calculus are mathematical languages encoding fundamental geometric relations that theories of physics seem to respect. We propose criteria given which statistics of expressions in geometric algebra are computable in quantum theory, in such a way that preserves their algebraic properties. They are that one must be able to arbitrarily transform the basis of the Clifford algebra, via multiplication by elements of the algebra that act trivially on the state space; all such elements must be neighbored by operators corresponding to factors in the original expression and not the state vectors. We explore the consequences of these criteria for a physics of dynamical multivector fields.

description: Актуальність дослідження, пов'язаного з особливостями психологічного комфорту під час онлайн-навчання, ґрунтується на двох принципово важливих для сучасної психолого-педагогічної парадигми напрямках. По-перше, йдеться про психологічний комфорт як однієї з фундаментальних потреб людини, необхідних для повноцінного існування; по-друге, — про онлайн-навчання як не просто альтернативний, а іноді єдиний можливий шлях отримання освіти. Поєднання цих двох напрямків дозволяє охарактеризувати проблему достатнього психологічного комфорту під час онлайн-навчання як таку, що має бути вирішеною як на теоретичному, так і на практичному рівні. Отже, метою цієї статті є розгляд особливостей психологічного комфорту студентів під час онлайн-навчання. На основі аналізу теоретико-методологічних досліджень, присвячених проблемі психологічного комфорту в цілому та психологічному комфорту здобувачів освіти, а також питанню дистанційного навчання як актуальної форми освіти, зроблено висновок, що психологічний комфорт може вимірюватися за трьома основними складовими: організаційною, адаптаційною та мотиваційною. Здійснене емпіричне дослідження дозволило виявити і охарактеризувати відповідні особливості. Обчислення арифметичного середнього показало, що показники усіх виділених параметрів наближуються до середнього рівня вираженості, але є певні відмінності. Разом із тим, для більш чіткого розуміння особливостей досліджуваного явища було проведено кластерний аналіз. За результатами кластерного аналізу здобувачі освіти були поділені на чотири групи, які характеризуються певним рівнем вираженості психологічного комфорту: низьким, нижче середнього, середнім та вище середнього. На базі отриманих результатів обґрунтовано напрямки удосконалення організаційної, адаптаційної та мотиваційної складової психологічного комфорту студентів. Серед них можна виділити: дублювання навчального матеріалу на різних платформах і в різних форматах; надання студентам консультацій як в онлайн-, так і в офлайн-форматі; представлення лекційного і семінарського матеріалу таким чином, щоб студентам було легше сприймати його онлайн; організація психологічних тренінгів, покликаних сформувати і удосконалити навички самоорганізації та самоконтролю здобувачів освіти.

description: This dissertation focused on seven Palestinian families and four adults in Maryland whose roots traced back to historical Palestine. The study analyzed how Palestinian immigrants in the U.S. construct, maintain, and transfer their ethnic identity through social practices and material cultural artifacts. Questions guiding this research were: How do individual Palestinians within the families construct their sense of ethnic identity while they are living in Maryland?  How do history, place, and geography play a role, if at all, in maintaining a Palestinian ethnic identity in the United States?  What types of cultural artifacts serve as important dimensions to the construction of ethnic identity among these Palestinian families in America?  How has American society affected the behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, and values of Palestinians in America in maintaining their sense of identity? This ten-month study included semi-structured, in-depth interviews; participant observation; and a catalogue of 126 material artifacts. A brief historical background of the main political events that shaped the construction and emergence of Palestinian identity and the Palestinian diaspora set the context for a review of literature related to the construction of Palestinian identity outside the homeland during the immigration waves of the last 60 years.  Analysis focused on social identity practices of Palestinians living in the United States in the context of the unique cultural and political challenges of their history.  It became clear that Palestinians in Maryland move fluidly between Muslim/Christian Palestinian, Arab, and American identities. An analysis of material culture explored the ways in which national, religious and social artifacts were of central importance to how Palestinians maintain, express and transfer identity.  The study discovered that cultural artifacts contributed centrally to the unique identities of women and second generation Palestinians.  Even as they struggle with the possibility of a disappearing homeland, the Palestinians in this study maintained a powerful connection to each other and their nation through their social practices and the material culture of their homes. Having the cultural artifacts ever present in the homes helped to bridge the gap between belongingness and homelessness to establish a sense of connection to their origins.

Outcomes and Impact of Adult Literacy Programs in Senegal: Two Case Studies
Creators: name: Mbaye, Abdoulaye
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2008
Subjects: Education, Language and Literature (0279)

description: Developing countries like Senegal are faced with high illiteracy rates. In its efforts to improve literacy, the Senegalese government has developed nationwide adult literacy programs, and has adopted a strategy commonly known as 'faire-faire"", based on a partnership between the State and civil society. This study explores two adult literacy programs from the experiences of participants in the villages of Ngohe and Ndoulo, located in the region of Diourbel, Senegal. The purpose of the study is to examine the outcomes of those programs and their impact on the lives of the participants, through interviews with the different actors involved in the implementation of the literacy programs (education officials, literacy operators, facilitators and participants), review of documents and observation. I have adopted the theoretical perspective known as critical theory and defined by Fay (1987) as concerned with empowering human beings to transcend the constraints placed on them by race, class, and gender. The findings of the study reveal that ""faire-faire"" has helped to boost literacy rates and has improved literacy education in Senegal. The participants' lives have considerably improved as a result of their enrollment in the literacy classes. They have developed income-generating activities, increased their knowledge on health and hygiene, participated in village meetings, and acquired problem-solving skills. However, despite these positive aspects, one needs to acknowledge that ""faire-faire"" presents some deficiencies: the choice of the operators did not always follow the recommendations in the procedures manuals, the facilitators received little or no training, and supervision of the literacy classes was not appropriately done. In light of these findings, it is important that the State allocate more funds to the literacy sub-sector and be more rigorous in the implementation of the literacy programs, for instance when it comes to the selection of the operators in order to improve literacy education in Senegal

A trust-region augmented Hessian implementation for restricted and unrestricted Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham methods
Creators: name: Helmich-Paris, Benjamin

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)

description: We present a trust-region augmented Hessian implementation (TRAH-SCF) for restricted and unrestricted Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham methods. With TRAH-SCF convergence can always be achieved with tight convergence thresholds, which requires just a modest number of iterations. Our convergence benchmark study and our illustrative applications focus on open-shell molecules, also antiferromagnetically coupled systems, for which it is notoriously complicated to converge the Roothaan-Hall self-consistent field (SCF) equations. We compare the number of TRAH iterations to reach convergence with those of Pulay's and Kolmar's (K) variant of the direct inversion of the iterative subspace (DIIS) method and also analyze the obtained SCF solutions. Often TRAH-SCF finds a symmetry-broken solution with a lower energy than DIIS and KDIIS. For unrestricted calculations, this is accompanied by a larger spin contamination, i.e. larger deviation from the desired spin-restricted expectation value. However, there are also rare cases in which DIIS finds a solution with a lower energy than KDIIS and TRAH. In rare cases, both TRAH-SCF and KDIIS may also converge to an excited-state determinant solution. For those calculations with negative-gap TRAH solutions, standard DIIS always diverges. If comparable, TRAH usually needs more iterations to converge than DIIS and KDIIS because for every new set of orbitals the level-shifted Newton-Raphson equations are solved approximately and iteratively by means of an eigenvalue problem. Nevertheless, the total runtime of TRAH-SCF is still competitive with the DIIS-based approaches even if extended basis sets are employed, which is illustrated for a large hemocyanin model complex.

description: To its supporters study abroad among U. S. undergraduate students is an unquestioned  good, providing unparalleled opportunities for language acquisition, cross- cultural  competence and improved self- efficacy. As part of this experience, international  education professionals acknowledge the need to prepare students for both  acculturation to the host culture and re- acculturation to the home culture. Few  scholars directly address how these students negotiate their sense of national identity  during or after their international experience. The limited relevant literature suggests  that U. S. study abroad students adopt a variant of cosmopolitan identity,  distinguishing themselves from a particularistic sense of national identity. This  dissertation seeks to fill the gap in the literature on national identity and U. S.  undergraduate study abroad experiences by examining how returned U. S. American  undergraduate study abroad students who have participated in a significant  international education experience negotiate their sense of U. S. American national  identity upon their return. Using a grounded theoretical approach with a  representative group of university students, this dissertation uses semi- structured  interviews to explore the participants’ relationship to their conceptualization of U. S.  American national identity before and after their international experience. Prior to  their departure, study participants demonstrate both a lack of preparation for and  unrealistic expectations of their upcoming experience. However, after their return,  the study shows that, instead of a cosmopolitan identity, participants maintain a  particularistic U. S. American identity. Moreover, they adopt a more analytically  critical sense of their role within contemporary pluralistic U. S. society. They gain a  greater understanding of the role of U. S. popular culture as a global popular culture,  as well as their role as representatives of that culture overseas.

In this limit we derive a new type of model for tagged paricle diffusion, with Calogero-Moser-Sutherland (i.e. inverse quadratic) interaction potential between the two central particles. Computer simulations on this new model reproduce exactly the numerical value of the limiting variance obtained by Boldrighini, Frigio and Tognetti (2002).

Ethical issues and codes of ethics : views of adult education practitioners in British Columbia
Creators: name: Gordon, Wanda Marja
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Over the last decade, practice ethics in adult education has become an increasingly visible topic of interest and concern in the literature of the field. However, relatively little research has been done in the whole area of ethics and codes of ethics. This study was undertaken to broaden the empirical data base within the field and provide further insight into the area of practice ethics. The purpose of the study was to examine the views of adult educators in British Columbia about the need for a code of ethics for the field of adult education and to identify the issues, concerns and dilemmas experienced by them. The study is an approximate replication of a 1991 study by McDonald in the state of Indiana. Using survey methodology, three groups of adult education practitioners (N = 460) received a mailed questionnaire that included items related to the study topic and demographic characteristics. A 60% return rate was achieved. The major findings generated by this study confirm positive practitioner views about codes of ethics and support the findings reported in the Indiana study. The findings of this study include: • The majority of adult educators surveyed believe there should be a code of ethics for the field of adult education. • Less than a majority of adult educators surveyed knew of the existence of, or were currently operating under, a code of ethics. • The majority of adult educators surveyed indicated an overall positive view about the general functions of a code of ethics. • Issues related to the learner are most frequently cited as needing to be addressed in a code of ethics for the field of adult education. • The professional association was the most frequently identified organization that adult educators believe should create, disseminate and enforce a code of ethics. • The majority of adult educators either disagree or are unsure about the regulating function of a code of ethics. • The majority of adult educators surveyed cited examples of ethical issues/concerns/dilemmas from their practice settings. • The most frequently cited ethical issues/dilemmas relate to confidentiality concerns and learner/adult educator relationship issues. Historically, the debate about the need for a code of ethics for the field of adult education has been focused within the academic community. This study contributes a practitioner perspective to the ongoing debate. The strong message conveyed by British Columbia adult educators about the need for a code of ethics also clearly reflects the growing trend of code development by professional associations in Canada and the United States. Continued emphasis on educational efforts to address the issues arising from this study and further research in the area of practice ethics are suggested.

Lorentz violating extension of the Standard Model and the Beta-decay end-point
Creators: name: Bernardini, Alex E.
name: Bertolami, O.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Standard Model extension with additional Lorentz violating terms allows for redefining the equation of motion of a propagating left-handed fermionic particle. The obtained Dirac-type equation can be embedded in a generalized Lorentz-invariance preserving-algebra through the definition of Lorentz algebra-like generators with a light-like preferred axis. The resulting modification to the fermionic equation of motion introduces some novel ingredients to the phenomenological analysis of the cross section of the tritium $β$-decay. Assuming lepton number conservation, our formalism provides a natural explanation for the tritium $β$-decay end-point via an effective neutrino mass term without the need of a sterile right-handed state.

Filled aperture beam splitting and combination together with temporal phasing is realized in a compact and low-component-count setup. Combined average power of up to 70 W with 40 ps pulses are achieved with combination efficiencies around 80%.
Constraints on the Accretion History of Massive Black Holes from Faint X-ray Counts

description: We investigate how hierarchical models for the co-evolution of the massive black hole (MBH) and AGN population can reproduce the observed faint X-ray counts. We find that the main variable influencing the theoretical predictions is the Eddington ratio of accreting sources. We compare three different models proposed for the evolution of AGN Eddington ratio, f_Edd: constant f_Edd=1, f_Edd decreasing with redshift, and f_Edd depending on the AGN luminosity, as suggested by simulations of galactic mergers including BHs and AGN feedback. We follow the full assembly of MBHs and host halos from early times to the present in a LambdaCDM cosmology. AGN activity is triggered by halo major mergers and MBHs accrete mass until they satisfy the observed correlation with velocity dispersion. We find that all three models can reproduce fairly well the total faint X-ray counts. The redshift distribution is however poorly matched in the first two models. The Eddington ratios suggested by merger simulations predicts no turn-off of the faint end of the AGN optical luminosity function at redshifts z>=1 down to very low luminosity.

description: Many cities and countries have invested significant amounts of money in museums in the hopes that they will become a vital piece in developing the local economy, building of the city's image, operating as a destination for tourism, and revitalizing the entire community. With this culture-driven urban regeneration in mind, another city redevelopment project is under way in the Republic of Korea. The Hub City of Asian Culture Project is being administered by the national government of Korea. It is the single largest cultural project in the history of the nation. The project aims to make Korea a leader in building cultural ties, to establish a center of exchange with the various countries in Asia, and to raise the overall quality of life of Koreans by transforming the city of Gwangju, the 6th largest city in Korea, into a culture city. This thesis introduces the Asian Culture Center of Hub City of Asian Culture Project, and its vision to revitalize the city of Gwangju, South Korea. It frames an inquiry about how the Hub City of Asian Culture project and the core facility of the project, Asian Culture Center can serve as a catalyst for revitalization of Gwangju. This inquiry has great significance since such a project has never before been carried forward in Korea. The central government has committed great amounts of funding and will lead the way from the beginning to the end. No such projects were proposed previous to this announcement and if any others have been proposed since then, they are yet to be reported. Therefore, my research and analysis of culture-driven (especially, museum-centered) urban regeneration of the city center of Gwangju will be of huge benefit for the current project, and furthermore positively impact other cities' redevelopment planning which have museums as their centerpiece.

description: In this review paper we aim at illustrating recent achievements in anomalous heat diffusion, while highlighting open problems and research perspectives. We briefly recall the main features of the phenomenon for low-dimensional classical anharmonic chains and outline some recent developments on perturbed integrable systems, and on the effect of long-range forces and magnetic fields. Some selected applications to heat transfer in material science at the nanoscale are described. In the second part, we discuss of the role of anomalous conduction on coupled transport and describe how systems with anomalous (thermal) diffusion allow a much better power-efficiency trade-off for the conversion of thermal to particle current.

The Breast health of church-going African American Women: Do culture and religiosity play important roles in achieving optimal breast health decisions

description: Nearly 40,000 women died of breast cancer last year in the United States each year. Even though the incidence of breast cancer is lower in African American women than Caucasian women, the mortality is 30% higher. There are a number of factors which have been discussed in the literature that often attribute this statistic to factors such as access, religiosity, and biology; while these factors are valid, much of the literature has examined   African American woman in comparatively small numbers as well as of lower socioeconomic and educational status. Further, the theoretical framework in the majority of the literature has been solely the Health Belief Model. I contend that experiences with health care professionals, cultural influences, and religiosity play an important role in the breast health decisions that African American women make. In recognition of the complexity of the lives of African American women, this research includes Black Feminist theory framework to highlight the narrative of 44 African American women; age 30-50 that are highly educated, have access to health care and screening, and are religious. The findings of this research were as follows: women were influenced by their experiences with health care professionals; in addition, cultural factors also played an important role in the breast health decisions. In spite of the potentially negative impact noted in literature, generally these women have increased their level of knowledge relating to their breast health. At the same time, they have positioned their religiosity/spirituality as a useful resource, used in conjunction with science based recommendations. These women have exhibited a high level of agency and independence in making their optimal breast health decisions. While the church continues to be a valuable source of strength in the African American community, women must seek strong and transparent relationships with their primary physicians so that accurate medical information can be acquired. Though myths and misinformation continue as well as the fact that there are too many failures in the management of the breast health of African American women, there are many   successes, survivors and healings to be celebrated. These stories must be told as well.
