description: The current context of general education in Russia is distinguished by the availability of programs ensuring the development of human resources potential in educational institutions. Particular attention is paid by the government of the Russian Federation and by local authorities to projects related to the effective adaptation of novice teachers in the professional pedagogical environment. This process involves collaborative work of management and staff of general education institutions, higher education institutions, ministries and agencies. The leading mechanisms of professional development are modernization of the initial teacher education (ITE) and reflexive management technologies in the educational institutions. Creating qualitatively new content and conditions of scientific and methodological support to a novice teacher in the elaboration of new professional standards requires the development of networking and productive innovations in the education system. This paper reveals the development of innovative organizational models of advanced training for administrative and pedagogical personnel at the regional and municipal levels in Russia.

description: SUBGENUS CERATOBATRACHUS BOULENGER, 1884
 Type species
 Ceratobatrachus guentheri Boulenger, 1884, by monotypy.
 Diagnosis
 The sole species of the subgenus Ceratobatrachus, Cornufer (Ceratobatrachus) guentheri, is one of the most charismatic and distinctive species in the Ceratobatrachidae and is readily diagnosed from all members of the genus Cornufer by having (1) elaborated ossification of the squamosal (vs. absence of ornamental ossification); and by the (2) presence of mandible odontoids (vs. absence); and (3) presence of ornate dermal protuberances above the eyes (‘horns’), at the tip of the snout, and along the posterior edges of fore- and hindlimbs (vs. absence). These characters are uniquely derived in this lineage (Fig. 2, Clade S).
 Phylogenetic definition
 Ceratobatrachus is an apomorphy-based name for the clade (Fig. 2, Clade S) originating in the ancestor in which the following apomorphy, synapomorphic with those in the known populations of Co. (Ce.) guentheri, originated: ornate dermal protuberances above the eyes (‘horns’), at the tip of the snout, and in the form of serrated flaps along the outer edges of the limbs.
 Content: Cornufer (Ce.) guentheri (Table 3).
 Comment
 Cornufer (Ce.) guentheri is most closely related to the extremely phenotypically dissimilar miniaturized species Cornufer acrochordus (Fig. 2). This bizarre and completely unexpected relationship stands as a testament to the highly variable and at times bewildering patterns of morphological variability and phylogenetic relationships in the family Ceratobatrachidae.
 Etymology
 Although Boulenger (1884) provided no etymology for Ceratobatrachus, the name is probably derived from the Greek ‘kerato’, meaning ‘horned’ and the Greek
‘batrachos’, meaning ‘frog’. Suggested common name: Solomon Islands horned frogs.

description: This paper aims at describing one of the possible Italian teachers induction paths, which is called “TFA”. Then, we grasp how Southern Italy participants in a TFA course aimed at educate to teach students with special educational needs shape their own digital culture. All of the participants are in an induction process related to teaching students with special educational needs; however, some of them are already experienced teachers about other teaching fields (different from the one related to special educational needs). So, we first run Principal Component Analysis to detect what factors compose the participants’ digital culture. Then we run independent samples t-test to observe differences between males and females, and experienced and not experienced teachers. Results show that two of the four detected factors are similar to those proposed by literature. The other two, instead, differ from them. Furthermore, it emerged that, on average, males have higher scores than females on the factors; these differences are significant on three factors. Last but not the least, experienced teachers have, on average, higher scores than not experienced participants. However, these differences are not significant.

description: We show that 1/f noise is produced in a 3D electron glass by charge fluctuations due to electrons hopping between isolated sites and a percolating network at low temperatures. The low frequency noise spectrum goes as ω^{-α} with αslightly larger than 1. This result together with the temperature dependence of αand the noise amplitude are in good agreement with the recent experiments. These results hold true both with a flat, noninteracting density of states and with a density of states that includes Coulomb interactions. In the latter case, the density of states has a Coulomb gap that fills in with increasing temperature. For a large Coulomb gap width, this density of states gives a dc conductivity with a hopping exponent of approximately 0.75 which has been observed in recent experiments. For a small Coulomb gap width, the hopping exponent approximately 0.5.

description: This paper focuses on new teachers who attended the Italian National Plan for Digital Education (NPDE) training courses between 2015 and 2017. Started in 2016, the NPDE was further developed thanks to the contribution of the 2014-2020 National Operational Programme for the School, “skills and learning environments” which supported 275 NPDE local training hubs in order to organize four training modules aimed both at new teachers and the more experienced ones. This paper analyses the feedback provided by the 1,342 new teachers who filled in the evaluation questionnaires handed out at the beginning and at the end of the modules. The objective of this chapter is to highlight the relations between the preferences expressed by the new teachers within the initial skill assessment and the issues raised in the final questionnaires about the perception of the training programme.

Drift orbits and neoclassical transfort in the H-1NF heliac

drift-orbit geometrics

description: This thesis is concerned with neoclassical transport in the H-1NF heliac, and contains an examination of drift-orbit geometries, a description of a neoclassical Monte Carlo transport code, and a description of a method to use that code to self-consistently calculate ambipolar radial electric fields. We set out to study the contributions to neoclassical transport in H-1NF, by first describing the topology and the abundance of collisionless, trapped particle orbits in the presence of radial electric fields. We give an overview of the trapped orbit geometries in H-1NF, and develop a method to numerically classify the trapped particle orbits. On average, the trapped particle fraction in H-1NF is 40%, with approximately 5%, 15%, and 20% of the orbits in the deeply trapped, helically trapped, and toroidally trapped states, respectively. A condensed version of this component of the thesis has been submitted to Nuclear Fusion. The orbit studies provide a background for the development of a neoclassical Monte Carlo transport code, MCMuPPeT (for Monte Carlo, Multi Processing Plasma Transport). Using the code, we compare several Monte Carlo transport diagnostics, taken from the literature. Confinement times and diffusion coefficients are calculated for plasma conditions which will be achievable in H-1NF after the National Facility upgrade. Since the electric field can dominate in the determination of the transport, we develop an iterative method to self-consistently calculate the ambipolar radial electric field, using the Monte Carlo code. The method is applied to the Argon plasma conditions observed in H-1NF, in the experimentally observed Improved Conhnement Mode (ICM). To help interpret the results, the ambipolar electric fields were calculated in the same conditions using a well-known analytic model which was geometrically-fitted to H-1NF for our purposes. Qualitative agreement was found between both of the neoclassical models and the experimental results; the electric fields predicted in the ICM conditions are typically twice as large as those predicted in the conditions before the transition. The two models were also used to look for the neoclassically predicted transition from negative to positive radial electric field. Positive radial electric fields were observed, at long mean free path, in Hydrogen plasma conditions which will be achievable in H-1NF after the National Facility upgrade. We have also developed methods to optimise the Monte Carlo code for both parallel and vector computing environments. Two Message Passing algorithms that we use to parallelise the MC code are presented in the appendix.

description: In the present effort we show that $S_κ=-k_B \int d^3p (n^{1+κ}-n^{1-κ})/(2κ)$ is the unique existing entropy obtained by a continuous deformation of the Shannon-Boltzmann entropy $S_0=-k_B \int d^3p n \ln n$ and preserving unaltered its fundamental properties of concavity, additivity and extensivity. Subsequently, we explain the origin of the deformation mechanism introduced by $κ$ and show that this deformation emerges naturally within the Einstein special relativity. Furthermore, we extend the theory in order to treat statistical systems in a time dependent and relativistic context. Then, we show that it is possible to determine in a self consistent scheme within the special relativity the values of the free parameter $κ$ which results to depend on the light speed $c$ and reduces to zero as $c \to \infty$ recovering in this way the ordinary statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. The novel statistical mechanics constructed starting from the above entropy, preserves unaltered the mathematical and epistemological structure of the ordinary statistical mechanics and is suitable to describe a very large class of experimentally observed phenomena in low and high energy physics and in natural, economic and social sciences. Finally, in order to test the correctness and predictability of the theory, as working example we consider the cosmic rays spectrum, which spans 13 decades in energy and 33 decades in flux, finding a high quality agreement between our predictions and observed data.

description: We describe the Fano asymmetry by expanding the transmission amplitude with respect to states with point spectra (discrete eigenstates), including not only bound states but also resonant states with complex eigenvalues. We first introduce a novel complete set that spans the Hilbert space of the central part of an open quantum-dot system. This complete set contains all states of point spectra, but does not contain any states of continuous spectra. We thereby analytically expand the conductance of the dot in terms of all discrete states without any background integrals. This expansion implies that the resonant states produce the main contributions to the electron transmission. We then explain the Fano peak as an interference effect involving resonant states. We find that there are three types of Fano asymmetry according to their origins: the interference between a resonant state and an anti-resonant state, that between a resonant state and a bound state, and that between two resonant states. We derive microscopic expressions of the Fano parameters that describe the three types of Fano asymmetry. We show that the last two types display the asymmetric energy dependence given by Fano, but the first one shows a slightly different form.

description: Using the generalised set of fluid equations that include the `Coriolis force' along with the centrifugal and pressure gradient forces, we have reanalysed the class of self similar solutions, with the pseudo-Newtonian potential. We find that the class of solutions is well behaved for almost the entire parameter space except for a few selected combinations of $γ$ and $α$ for the co-rotating flow. The analysis of the Bernoulli number shows that whereas it remains positive for co-rotating flow for $f>1/3$, for the counter-rotating flow it does admit both positive and negative values, indicating the possibility of energy transfer in either direction.

There were four sections in the questionnaire .The first section included several key questions that assess the patients’ knowledge and education about the disease. In the second section, we assessed the patients’ diabetic status by asking about the duration of DM, age of onset, DM medication type and usage, and how they monitor their diabetic status. In addition, we asked about the presence of any diabetic complications including diabetic neuropathy, kidney disease, previous stroke, previous ischemic heart disease, concomitant blood hypertension or hyperlipidemia, and family history of diabetes. The third section had four short questions, through which we tried to figure out some effects of the Syrian Crisis on patients’ ability to access their medications and reach medical care center. The last part concentrated on patients’ DR status and their action toward diabetic eye disease. (DOCX 19 kb)

description: We propose an interferometric scheme for the estimation of a linear combination with non-negative weights of an arbitrary number $M>1$ of unknown phase delays, distributed across an $M$-channel linear optical network, with Heisenberg-limited sensitivity. This is achieved without the need of any sources of photon-number or entangled states, photon-number resolving detectors or auxiliary interferometric channels. Indeed, the proposed protocol remarkably relys upon a single squeezed state source, an antisqueezing operation at the interferometer output, and on-off photodetectors.
Scaling rank-one updating formula and its application in unconstrained optimization
Creators: name: Sun, L. P
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1990
Subjects: subject: Mathematical optimization
subject: Algorithms

description: This thesis deals with algorithms used to solve unconstrained optimization problems. We analyse the properties of a scaling symmetric rank one (SSRl) update, prove the convergence of the matrices generated by SSRl to the true Hessian matrix and show that algorithm SSRl possesses the quadratic termination property with inexact line search. A new algorithm (OCSSRl) is presented, in which the scaling parameter in SSRl is choosen automatically by satisfying Davidon's criterion for an optimaly conditioned Hessian estimate. Numerical tests show that the new method compares favourably with BFGS. Using the OCSSRl update, we propose a hybrid QN algorithm which does not need to store any matrix. Numerical results show that it is a very promising method for solving large scale optimization problems. In addition, some popular technologies in unconstrained optimization are also discussed, for example, the trust region step, the descent direction with supermemory and. the detection of large residual in nonlinear least squares problems. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part gives a brief survey of unconstrained optimization. It contains four chapters, and introduces basic results on unconstrained optimization, some popular methods and their properties based on quadratic approximations to the objective function, some methods which are suitable for solving large scale optimization problems and some methods for solving nonlinear least squares problems. The second part outlines the new research results, and containes five chapters, In Chapter 5, the scaling rank one updating formula is analysed and studied. Chapter 6, Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 discuss the applications for the trust region method, large scale optimization problems and nonlinear least squares. A final chapter summarizes the problems used in numerical testing.

Our second main result shows that T_2, the equivalence relation called ``the equality of countable sets of the reals'', is not Borel reducible to another family of ERs which includes continuous actions of Polish CLI groups, Borel equivalence relations with G_δclasses, some ideals, and is closed under the Fubini product over $Fin.$ Both results and their corollaries extend some earlier irreducibility theorems by Hjorth and Kechris.

description: There has been significant interest recently in learning multilingual word embeddings -- in which semantically similar words across languages have similar embeddings. State-of-the-art approaches have relied on expensive labeled data, which is unavailable for low-resource languages, or have involved post-hoc unification of monolingual embeddings. In the present paper, we investigate the efficacy of multilingual embeddings learned from weakly-supervised image-text data. In particular, we propose methods for learning multilingual embeddings using image-text data, by enforcing similarity between the representations of the image and that of the text. Our experiments reveal that even without using any expensive labeled data, a bag-of-words-based embedding model trained on image-text data achieves performance comparable to the state-of-the-art on crosslingual semantic similarity tasks.

description: The input language of the answer set solver clingo is based on the definition of a stable model proposed by Paolo Ferraris. The semantics of the ASP-Core language, developed by the ASP Standardization Working Group, uses the approach to stable models due to Wolfgang Faber, Nicola Leone, and Gerald Pfeifer. The two languages are based on different versions of the stable model semantics, and the ASP-Core document requires, "for the sake of an uncontroversial semantics," that programs avoid the use of recursion through aggregates. In this paper we prove that the absence of recursion through aggregates does indeed guarantee the equivalence between the two versions of the stable model semantics, and show how that requirement can be relaxed without violating the equivalence property. The paper is under consideration for publication in Theory and Practice of Logic Programming.

At low densities the dependence of the energy on the quasimomentum is similar to that for a single particle, but at densities greater than a critical one the lowest band becomes triple-valued near the boundary of the first Brillouin zone and develops the structure characteristic of the swallow-tail catastrophe. We comment on the experimental consequences of this behavior.

This extends a well-known bispectral duality between the nonperturbed open quantum Toda chain and a strong-coupling limit of the rational Macdonald-Ruijsenaars difference operators. It is manifest from the difference equations in question that the hyperoctahedral Whittaker function is entire as a function of the spectral variable.

description: A partially first-order form of the characteristic formulation is introduced to control the accuracy in the computation of gravitational waveforms produced by highly distorted single black hole spacetimes. Our approach is to reduce the system of equations to first-order differential form on the angular derivatives, while retaining the proven radial and time integration schemes of the standard characteristic formulation. This results in significantly improved accuracy over the standard mixed-order approach in the extremely nonlinear post-merger regime of binary black hole collisions.

description: Despite several studies’ conclusions about the great potential of Learning Management Systems like Moodle for educational and professional practices in schools, many authors find a reduced use of this tool in school's pedagogical and organizational contexts. This article presents an action-research carried out in a Portuguese school, where it was intended to understand, from an Evolutionary Game Theory perspective, the survival and expansion of the using-Moodle behavior in a population of teachers. Some mechanisms studied in this theory influenced the actions negotiated with school leadership and implemented throughout the investigation, and the analysis of their impact. School leadership use of Moodle forums and the frequent interactions between Moodle users proved to be catalysts of the desired change, suggesting the importance of social reinforcement for the adoption of this tool.

description: In supersymmetric theories, the occurrence of universal singlets is a delicate issue, because they usually induce tadpoles that destabilize the hierarchy. We study the effects of these tadpoles in supersymmetric hybrid inflation models. The resulting scenario is generically modified, but it is still possible to achieve inflation in a natural way. It is argued that singlets, despite the problems associated with their presence, can lead to interesting cosmological consequences.

description: For a compact riemannian manifold of negative curvature, the geodesic foliation of its unit tangent bundle is independent of the negatively curved metric, up to Holder bicontinuous homeomorphism. However, the riemannian metric defines a natural transverse measure to this foliation, the Liouville transverse measure, which does depend on the metric. For a surface S, we show that the map which to a hyperbolic metric on S associates its Liouville transverse measure is differentiable, in an appropriate sense. Its tangent map is valued in the space of transverse Holder distributions for the geodesic foliation.

The Second Generation of Feedback-based Learning Model (FBL-2g) for Quantitative Courses in Higher Education
Creators: name: Ghilay, Yaron
Publisher: name: Journal of e-Learning and Knowledge Society
Year: 2019

description: The aim of the study was to examine the effectiveness of the second generation (2g) of Feedback-Based Learning model (FBL-2g) regarding quantitative courses in higher education. The intention was to examine students' views towards the model and check if there are differences between theoretical quantitative courses such as math or statistics and a computer course. The research was based on three samples of students (n1=28, n2=25, n3=19, n-total=72) who studied three quantitative courses based on the new model. All three course sites were prepared and managed by the same lecturer. Students were asked to fill out an online questionnaire to assess various characteristics of FBL-2g and its impact on their motivation and learning process. The study findings show that according to students' attitudes, FBL-2g is perceived as very effective for learning quantitative courses. All characteristics were highly rated as follows: Diagnosis, prognosis, student motivation and sense of belonging and the contribution to learning improvement. Therefore, it is recommended to support and train lecturers who teach quantitative courses in higher education so that they can use this model making a significant contribution to the students' motivation and learning.

description: This article describes the cross-referenced results of two educational experiments on the use of social platforms in the teaching and learning of mathematics. These were conducted over the course of two years in two mathematics courses at secondary schools in the Campania region of Southern Italy and in two courses of Calculus at University of Salerno, in the south of Italy. It aimed to highlight the role that the teacher assumes in online discussion, revisiting their role as a transmitter of knowledge and taking on the role of facilitator in the acquisition of skills. The qualitative results seem to point to significant benefits in the processes of evolution in the use and coordination of semiotic representation systems. Thanks partly to the help offered by the teacher, the peer comparison between enhanced the transition both from common to evolved language and from interpsychic to intrapsychic functions, i.e. the transition from forms of social activity to forms of entirely individual activity

description: The pervasiveness of technology is affecting also the education field, so it is possible to evaluate whether technology can foster collaboration among students or improve the learning outcomes. A community of practice online is the subject of the present study, it represents a kind of blended learning which is defined as the integration of classroom face-to-face learning with online learning experiences with the objective to increase students’ engagement and motivation. A recent experience of blended learning education has been carried out by four Italian Universities and in the present research study we have implemented social network analysis technique in order to observe online interactions of students, thus describing the nodes that exert the most influence in the group and to evaluate if the online interactions can positively affect the learning process. As result we can state that the outcomes of social network analysis are valuable information for teachers and tutors in order to facilitate participation and collaboration, that in turn promote an effective learning process.

Quantum critical fluctuations in disordered d-wave superconductors

description: Quasiparticles in the cuprates appear to be subject to anomalously strong inelastic damping mechanisms. To explain the phenomenon, Sachdev and collaborators recently proposed to couple the system to a critically fluctuating order parameter mode of either id_{xy}- or is-symmetry. Motivated by the observation that the energies relevant for the dynamics of this mode are comparable to the scattering rate induced by even moderate impurity concentrations, we here generalize the approach to the presence of static disorder. In the id-case, we find that the coupling to disorder renders the order parameter dynamics diffusive but otherwise leaves much of the phenomenology observed in the clean case intact. In contrast, the interplay of impurity scattering and order parameter fluctuations of is-symmetry entails the formation of a secondary superconductor transition, with a critical temperature exponentially sensitive to the disorder concentration.

Artistic and literary representations of the Judgement of Paris in antiquity

Subjects: Judgement of Paris

description: This thesis examines a large set of evidence in relation to the myth of the Judgement of Paris. Representations of this myth appeared in both literary and artistic media during antiquity. I will consider those preserved testimonies dated up to the 6th century AD. The relevant contributions of Christoph Clairmont (1951) and Irmgard Raab (1972) in regard to the artistic representations of the Judgement of Paris in antiquity are enlarged here through an extensive discussion of literary sources and the addition of new artworks not included in the catalogue of each. Before analysing the testimonies, I classify them in accordance with their medium, either literature or art. After this, I analyse them with regard to the literary genre or the artistic style that better describes each work. This generic analysis is followed by a contextual analysis that relates to the time and the place where each work was produced. In analysing the contexts, I give a special place to Athens, setting it apart from the rest of Greek contexts. The reason for doing this is the impressive amount of Athenian painted vases that represent the Judgement of Paris, for they comprise almost two thirds of the whole preserved output from antiquity. The thesis aims to explore the development of literary and artistic representations of the Judgement of Paris throughout antiquity, showing the place this story holds in the culture of the Graeco-Roman world. It also aims to investigate the connections between works of a single medium, whether art or literature, and between these two media of representation. In doing so, it uncovers the relationship between genre and narrative, and the transmission process of the Judgement of Paris into different contexts through art and literature. There is a list of artworks (Appendix 1) including the concordances to Clairmont (1951), Raab (1972), Beazley (1942, 1963, 1971 & 1978) & Carpenter (1989), Haspels (1936), the Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae, the Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, and the Beazley Archive Database (http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/index.htm). Descriptions of art objects depicting undefined episodes of the Judgement of Paris are given in Appendix 2. Appendix 3 is a catalogue of objects not classified in the thesis. 66 plates of 177 artworks are included in Appendix 4. In order to meet the requirements for submitting a digital copy of this thesis, several images have been omitted in Appendix 4 (Plates).
