description: No âmbito de uma investigação circunscrita ao Programa de Formação Contíua em Matemática com professores dos 1º e 2º CEB da Universidade de Aveiro - m@c1/2 - importa perceber o seu enquadramento nos seus diferentes níveis de desenvolvimento, desde a sua génese e fundamentos, às finalidades e princípios orientadores, lógica organizativa e consequente impacto. Procurar-se-á substantivar aspetos inovadores e momentos que lhe deram um cunho peculiar e únicos na história da formação contínua de professores em Portugal, reclamando, assim, a importância de tal programa. Optou-se por um estudo qualitativo centrado no caso m@c1/2, recorrendo a uma análise documental, de cariz transversal, de uma ampla gama de diplomas legais e documentos oficiais, não publicados, estudos tornados públicos e portfólios dos formandos bem como a inquéritos por questionário. Dessa análise, conclui-se que o PFCM promoveu uma nova consciência sobre a necessidade de um conhecimento de matemática, didático e curricular sólido que se reflita em aprendizagens matemáticas significantes junto dos alunos. O aspeto estruturante mais enfatizado relacionou-se com a reflexão sobre a ação.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Informal Caregivers of Rural Cancer Patients: A Qualitative Study
Creators: name: Jiona A. Mills
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: 
Informal caregivers (family members and/or friends) of rural adult cancer patients face significant challenges in meeting the patients’ needs, navigating the healthcare system, and accessing support services.The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing caregiving challenges and introduced unforeseen challenges. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 informal caregivers of rural adult cancer patients to understand how they have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The resultant themes were related to caregivers' interactions with the healthcare system, mitigating the patient's risk of contracting COVID-19, and social support and coping during the pandemic. Informal caregivers' experiences and needs during the COVID-19 pandemic and in general are a matter of national public health importance that must be reinforced through policies, research, and interventions.

On Kakeya-Nikodym type maximal inequalities

description: We show that for any dimension $d\ge3$, one can obtain Wolff's $L^{(d+2)/2}$ bound on Kakeya-Nikodym maximal function in $\mathbb R^d$ for $d\ge3$ without the induction on scales argument. The key ingredient is to reduce to a 2-dimensional $L^2$ estimate with an auxiliary maximal function. We also prove that the same $L^{(d+2)/2}$ bound holds for Nikodym maximal function for any manifold $(M^d,g)$ with constant curvature, which generalizes Sogge's results for $d=3$ to any $d\ge3$. As in the 3-dimensional case, we can handle manifolds of constant curvature due to the fact that, in this case, two intersecting geodesics uniquely determine a 2-dimensional totally geodesic submanifold, which allows the use of the auxiliary maximal function.

description: Pre-pubertal boys and girls speak with acoustically different voices despite the absence of a clear anatomical dimorphism in the vocal apparatus, suggesting that a strong component of the expression of gender through the voice is behavioural. Initial evidence for this hypothesis was found in a previous study showing that they can alter their voice to sound like a boy or like a girl. However, whether children can spontaneously modulate these voice components within their own gender in order to vary the expression of their masculinity and femininity remained to be investigated. Here, seventy-two English-speaking children aged 6–10 were asked to give voice to child characters varying in masculine and feminine stereotypicality to investigate whether primary school children spontaneously adjust their voices sex-related cues in the voice—fundamental frequency (F0) and formant spacing (ΔF)—along gender stereotypical lines. Boys and girls masculinized their voice, by lowering F0 and ΔF, when impersonating stereotypically masculine child characters of the same sex. Girls and older boys also feminized their voice, by raising their F0 and ΔF, when impersonating stereotypically feminine same-sex child characters. These findings reveal that children have some knowledge of the sexually dimorphic acoustic cues underlying the expression of gender, and are capable of controlling them to modulate gender-related attributes, paving the way for the use of the voice as an implicit, objective measure of the development of gender stereotypes and behaviour.

description: In this paper, cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (C-NOMA) is considered in short packet communications with finite blocklength (FBL) codes. The performance of a decode-and-forward (DF) relaying along with selection combining (SC) and maximum ratio combining (MRC) strategies at the receiver side is examined. We explore joint user pairing and resource allocation to maximize fair throughput in a downlink (DL) scenario. In each pair, the user with a stronger channel (strong user) acts as a relay for the other one (weak user), and optimal power and blocklength are allocated to achieve max-min throughput. To this end, first, only one pair is considered, and optimal resource allocation is explored. Also, a suboptimal algorithm is suggested, which converges to a near-optimal solution. Finally, the problem is extended to a general scenario, and a suboptimal C-NOMA-based user pairing is proposed. Numerical results show that the proposed C-NOMA scheme in both SC and MRC strategies significantly improves the users' fair throughput compared to the NOMA and OMA. It is also investigated that the proposed pairing scheme based on C-NOMA outperforms the Hybrid NOMA/OMA scheme from the average throughput perspective, while the fairness index degrades slightly.

description: We consider decaying dark matter (DDM) as a resolution to the possible tension between cosmic microwave background (CMB) and weak lensing (WL) based determinations of the amplitude of matter fluctuations, $σ_8$. We perform N-body simulations in a model where dark matter decays into dark radiation and develop an accurate fitting formula for the non-linear matter power spectrum, which enables us to test the DDM model by the combined measurements of CMB, WL and the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO). We employ a Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis to examine the overlap of posterior distributions of the cosmological parameters, comparing CMB alone with WL+BAO. We find an overlap that is significantly larger in the DDM model than in the standard CDM model. This may be hinting at DDM, although current data is not constraining enough to unambiguously favour a non-zero dark matter decay rate $Γ$. From the combined CMB+WL data, we obtain a lower bound $Γ^{-1}\ge 97$ Gyr at 95 % C.L, which is less tight than the constraint from CMB alone.

Studying the Variability of M Dwarfs from Hours to Months to Decades with the CTIO 0.9m and TESS
Creators: name: Kar, Aman
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: M dwarfs account for 3 out of every 4 stars in the Solar Neighborhood and presumably offer enduring and stable environments for planetary systems. In our project, ATLAS (A Trail to Life Around Stars), we are compiling a variability catalog of M dwarfs within 25 pc to identify the most and least variable stars in a volume-complete sample. Here we present our assessment of stellar variability at different timescales: short-term (minutes to hours; due to flares), mid-term (days to months; due to stellar rotation), and long-term (years to decades; due to stellar cycles). We have identified 1750 M dwarf systems in the southern sky within 25 pc via Gaia DR3 parallaxes. These long-term results are based on the 24-year RECONS effort at the SMARTS 0.9m at CTIO. We present long-term variability results on ~400 M dwarfs and highlight in detail 32 M dwarfs with confirmed exoplanets. Of these, 6 vary < 2%, 25 vary between 2-6%, and only 1, Proxima Centauri, varies by > 6%. We augment these results with mid- and short-term results from TESS (~90% coverage of our sample). TESS observed 23 out of 32 ATLAS exoplanet hosts and found 17 varying by <1% and 5 showing flares. Overall, it is clear that some M dwarfs are more photometrically stable than others across all timescales, suggesting that specific stars warrant further attention in the search for habitable worlds. This effort has been supported by the NSF through grant AST-2108373 and via observations made possible by the SMARTS Consortium

B/MH concerns in pediatric practice are rising in prevalence. Approximately 13% to 20% of children in the United States experience a mental health disorder each year, and suicide is now the second leading cause of death for children ages 10 to 14 and adolescents and young adults ages 15 to 24. Nearly 25% of pediatric primary care visits involve a concern for B/MH issues.

Real-Time Topology Detection and State Estimation in Distribution Systems Using Micro-PMU and Smart Meter Data

description: Distribution network topology detection and state estimation in real-time are critical for modern distribution systems management and control. However, number of sensors in distribution networks are limited and communication links between switch devices and distribution management system are not well-established. In this regard, this paper proposes mixed-integer quadratic programming (MIQP) formulations to determine the topology of distribution network and estimate distribution system states simultaneously using micro-phasor measurement units (micro-PMUs) and smart meter data. Two approaches based on AC optimal power flow are proposed and analyzed: (i) polar power-voltage (PPV) formulation, and (ii) rectangular current-voltage (RIV) formulation. The proposed models include convex objective function while constraints are linearized using first-order approximation of Taylor series and Big M method. The proposed models can identify multiple simultaneous switching actions at each time instant and different topology configurations including radial and meshed networks. Only measurement data at each time interval is needed to identify topology and states of the system correctly. The proposed models are tested on a modified IEEE-33 bus system with realistic load data from Pecan Street Inc. database. The results confirm that both models can identify system topology and states with remarkable accuracy in real-time, while RIV model outperforms PPV model.

Pulsar PSR B0943+10 as an isotropic Vaidya-Tikekar type compact star : A comprehensive study

description: In this paper, we have constructed a model for well behaved isotropic compact star in the presence of charged perfect fluid, by considering a static and spherically symmetric metric in Schwarzschild's canonical coordinate system. To put the resulting differential equations into a closed system, we have employed the Vaidya & Tikekar (J. Astrophys. Astron. 3:325, 1982) form of the metric potential grr. The resulting energy-momentum components, i.e., energy density and pressure contain six constants; two of these are determined through the junction condition (matching the interior with the exterior Schwarzschild solution) and by the property of vanishing pressure on the boundary. The remaining constants are constrained by requirements of a real compact star. The physical acceptability of our model is tested using the data of the pulsar PSR B0943+10. Using graphical analysis and tabular information we have shown that our model obeys all the physical requirements. The stability of this model is evaluated using the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation, the adiabatic index and the Harrison-Zeldovich-Novikov Criterion and it has passed the evaluation.

description: In the frame of a R\&D effort conducted by CEA toward the design and the qualification of a 5 GHz LHCD system for the ITER tokamak, two 5 GHz 500 kW/5 s windows have been designed, manufactured and tested at high power in collaboration with the National Fusion Research Institute (NFRI). The window design rely on a symmetrical pill-box concept with a cylindrical beryllium oxide ceramic brazed on an actively water cooled copper skirt. The ceramic RF properties have been measured on a test sample to get realistic values for guiding the design. Low power measurements of the manufactured windows show return losses below-32 dB and insertion losses between-0.01 dB and-0.05 dB, with an optimum frequency shifted toward lower frequencies. High power tests conducted at NFRI show unexpected total power loss for both windows. The ceramic temperature during RF pulses has been found to reach unexpected high temperature, preventing these windows to be used under CW conditions. A post-mortem RF analysis of samples taken from one window shows that the dielectric properties of the ceramic were not the ones measured on the manufacturer sample, which partly explain the differences with the reference modelling.
3. Incongruent Counterparts. Four Possible Ways of Interaction between Geography and Philosophy
Creators: name: Tanca, Marcello
Publisher: name: GISI - UniTO
Year: 2018

description: Geography and Philosophy, like the right hand and the left hand according to Kant, are a typical case of ‘incongruent counterparts’: similar to each other, they can never completely overlap; their asymmetry and complementarity make the attempts at trying to find some prolific joints between them interesting.

This contribution explores therefore four ways of interacting between these two ‘discursive fields’: Geography of Philosophy, Philosophy of Geography, Geography in Philosophy and Philosophy in Geography. These four categories, however, are not to be taken too rigidly: they suggest a possible classification, i.e. indicative frameworks which are useful to give an order to such a chaotic and complex subject. They do not mark the goal, but just one of the roads.

The analysis of these categories is preceded by a critical examination of the ‘wild’ Geography in the works of acclaimed authors such as Robert Kaplan, Tim Marshall and Parag Khanna (who ignore the geographical literature and the debate within the academic geography). The text concludes with an open question: will Geography be able to translate its own research experience in order to finally become a philosophy of territorial engagement?

description: We present an investigation of the magnetic activity and flare characteristics of the sub-giant stars mostly from F and G spectral types and compare the results with the main-sequence (MS) stars. The light curve of 352 stars on the sub-giant branch (SGB) from the Kepler mission is analyzed in order to infer stability, relative coverage and contrast of the magnetic structures and also flare properties using three flare indexes. The results show that: (i) Relative coverage and contrast of the magnetic features along with rate, power and magnitude of flares increase on the SGB due to the deepening of the convective zone and more vigorous magnetic field production (ii) Magnetic activity of the F and G-type stars on the SGB does not show dependency to the rotation rate and does not obey the saturation regime. This is the opposite of what we saw for the main sequence, in which the G-, K- and M-type stars show clear dependency to the Rossby number; (iii) The positive relationship between the magnetic features stability and their relative coverage and contrast remains true on the SGB, though it has lower dependency coefficient in comparison with the MS; (iv) Magnetic proxies and flare indexes of the SGB stars increase with increasing the relative mass of the convective zone.

description: We find that quasiperiodicity-induced transitions between extended and localized phases in generic 1D systems are associated with hidden dualities that generalize the well-known duality of the Aubry-André model. These spectral and eigenstate dualities are locally defined near the transition and can, in many cases, be explicitly constructed by considering relatively small commensurate approximants. The construction relies on auxiliary 2D Fermi surfaces obtained as functions of the phase-twisting boundary conditions and of the phase-shifting real-space structure. We show that, around the critical point of the limiting quasiperiodic system, the auxiliary Fermi surface of a high-enough-order approximant converges to a universal form. This allows us to devise a highly-accurate method to obtain mobility edges and duality transformations for generic 1D quasiperiodic systems through their commensurate approximants. To illustrate the power of this approach, we consider several previously studied systems, including generalized Aubry-André models and coupled Moiré chains. Our findings bring a new perspective to examine quasiperiodicity-induced extended-to-localized transitions in 1D, provide a working criterion for the appearance of mobility edges, and an explicit way to understand the properties of eigenstates close to and at the transition.

description: The discovery of the Higgs particle at 125 GeV is demanding a detailed knowledge of the properties of this fundamental component of the Standard Model. To that aim various proposals of electron and muon colliders have been put forward for precision studies of the partial widths of the various decay channels. It is shown that in the case of a Higgs factory through a muon collider, sizeable radiative effects - of order of 50% - must be carefully taken into account for a precise measurement of the leptonic and total widths of the Higgs particle. Similar effects do not apply in the case of Higgs production in electron-positron colliders.

description: The trace anomalous energy contribution to the proton mass is a very important topic in non-perturbative QCD and hadron physics. In experiments, it is under the hot discussions on how to measure the trace anomalous energy.The QCD interpretation of proton trace anomaly is still not clear.To connect the theory with the experiment,we extract the trace anomaly by analyzing the near-threshold photo-production data of $ϕ$ and J/$ψ$ vector mesons. Based on the vector-meson-dominance model and QCD Van der Waals representation, we find that the percentage of trace anomaly in the proton mass ranges from $16\%$ to $24\%$, which is of similar order of magnitude as the 23$\%$ given by Lattice QCD. We also provide the approximate magnitudes of the systematic uncertainties of the extracted results from the model assumptions as well as the data fitting procedures. We give relative statistical uncertainties of 17.2$\%$, 17.7$\%$, 3.6$\%$, and 8.2$\%$, total relative systematic uncertainties of 21.4$\%$, 54.2$\%$, 37.2$\%$, and 25.7$\%$, for the analyses of the GlueX, LEPS, CLAS, and SAPHIR data, respectively. We argue that the near-threshold $Υ$ photo-production experiments are more beneficial for the measurement of trace anomaly in proton mass in the future.

In the presence of compact four-cycles, we discuss how to include the contribution of D4-branes wrapping them. Combining this with a simple assumption on the (in)dependence on Coulomb moduli in the 7d theory, we show that the partition function factorizes and, when X is Calabi-Yau and it admits an ADE ruling, it reproduces the 5d master formula for the geometrically engineered theory on A(n-1) ALE space, thus extending the usual geometric engineering dictionary to n>1. We finally speculate about implications for instanton counting on Taub-NUT.

No studies have focused on pediatric faculty who possess unique differences from general medical faculty. Methods. We designed a retrospective observational study to compare faculty teaching ratings with measured factors across 3 academic pediatric institutions. Results. Our study included 196 faculty members. The majority (76%) of variation in teaching effectiveness ratings was not accounted for by any measured variable, but 24% was attributed to measurable factors. Increased resident exposure (sequential r2 =.10, P < .0001) significantly affected teaching effectiveness. Variation between resident ratings of pediatric faculty teaching can be partially explained by measured factors not necessarily related to teaching effectiveness. Conclusions. The identification of faculty factors that significantly contribute to rating variation can enhance interpretation of these rating.

description: An important issue in today's electricity markets is the management of flexibilities offered by new practices, such as smart home appliances or electric vehicles. By inducing changes in the behavior of residential electric utilities, demand response (DR) seeks to adjust the demand of power to the supply for increased grid stability and better integration of renewable energies. A key role in DR is played by emergent independent entities called load aggregators (LAs). We develop a new decentralized algorithm to solve a convex relaxation of the classical Alternative Current Optimal Power Flow (ACOPF) problem, which relies on local information only. Each computational step can be performed in an entirely privacy-preserving manner, and system-wide coordination is achieved via node-specific distribution locational marginal prices (DLMPs). We demonstrate the efficiency of our approach on a 15-bus radial distribution network.

description: The sustainment of steady-state plasmas in tokamaks requires efficient current drive systems. Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) is currently the most efficient method to generate a continuous additional off-axis toroidal plasma current as well as reduce the poloidal flux consumption during the plasma current ramp-up phase. The operation of the Tore Supra ITER-like LH launcher has demonstrated the capability to couple LH power at ITER-like power densities with very low reflected power during long pulses. In addition, the installation of eight 700kW/CW klystrons at the LH transmitter has allowed increasing the total LH power in long pulse scenarios. However, in order to achieve pure stationary LH sustained plasmas, some R\&D are needed to increase the reliability of all the systems and codes, from the RF sources to the plasma scenario prediction. The CEA/IRFM is addressing some of these issues by leading a R\&D program towards an ITER LH system and by the validation of an integrated LH modeling suite of codes. In 2011, the RF design of a mode converter has been validated at low power. A 500 kW/5 s RF window is currently under manufacturing and will be tested at high power in 2012 in collaboration with NFRI. All of this work aims to reduce the operational risks associated with the ITER steady-state operations.

description: Superconductors can be classified as topological or not based on whether time-reversal symmetry (TRS), chiral symmetry, and particle-hole symmetry are preserved or not. Further, topological superconductors can also be classified as chiral or helical. In this paper, using Hanbury-Brown and Twiss (HBT) shot noise correlations and the non-local conductance, we probe metal/2D unconventional superconductor/metal junctions to understand better the pairing topological vs. non-topological or helical vs. chiral or nodal vs. gapful. We see that HBT correlations are asymmetric as a function of bias voltage for non-topological superconductors, whereas they are symmetric for topological superconductors irrespective of the barrier strength. Topological superconductors are associated with Majorana fermions which are important for topological quantum computation. By distinguishing topological superconductors from non-topological superconductors, our study will help search for Majorana fermions, which will aid in designing a topological quantum computer.

description: In this paper, outage probability (OP) of a joint transmit and receive antenna selection (JTRAS) scheme is analyzed in multiple-input multiple-output non orthogonal multiple access based downlink energy harvesting (EH) relaying networks. In this dual-hop and amplify-and-forward relaying based network, since the first and second hops are types of single-user and multi-user systems, respectively, the optimal JTRAS and suboptimal majority-based JTRAS schemes are employed in the first and second hops. The theoretical OP analysis is carried out over Nakagami-m fading channels in the cases of perfect and imperfect successive interference cancellation. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to substantiate the accuracy of the theoretical analysis. It is shown that the optimal power splitting ratios at the EH relay are different for users and the users with good channel conditions have minimum optimal ratios.

The Parabolic Anderson Model on a Galton-Watson tree revisited

description: In [1] a detailed analysis was given of the large-time asymptotics of the total mass of the solution to the parabolic Anderson model on a supercritical Galton-Watson random tree with an i.i.d. random potential whose marginal distribution is double-exponential. Under the assumption that the degree distribution has bounded support, two terms in the asymptotic expansion were identified under the quenched law, i.e., conditional on the realisation of the random tree and the random potential. The second term contains a variational formula indicating that the solution concentrates on a subtree with minimal degree according to a computable profile. The present paper extends the analysis to degree distributions with unbounded support. We identify the weakest condition on the tail of the degree distribution under which the arguments in [1] can be pushed through. To do so we need to control the occurrence of large degrees uniformly in large subtrees of the Galton-Watson tree.
