Attentional modulation of firing rate and synchrony in a model cortical network
Creators: name: Calin, Buia
name: Tiesinga, Paul
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: The response of a neuron in the visual cortex to stimuli of different contrast placed in its receptive field is commonly characterized using the contrast response curve. When attention is directed into the receptive field of a V4 neuron, its contrast response curve is shifted to lower contrast values (Reynolds et al, 2000, Neuron 26:703). The neuron will thus be able to respond to weaker stimuli than it responded to without attention. Attention also increases the coherence between neurons responding to the same stimulus (Fries et al, 2001, Science 291:1560). We studied how the firing rate and synchrony of a densely interconnected cortical network varied with contrast and how they were modulated by attention. The changes in contrast and attention were modeled as changes in driving current to the network neurons. We found that an increased driving current to the excitatory neurons increased the overall firing rate of the network, whereas variation of the driving current to inhibitory neurons modulated the synchrony of the network. We explain the synchrony modulation in terms of a locking phenomenon during which the ratio of excitatory to inhibitory firing rates is approximately constant for a range of driving current values. We explored the hypothesis that contrast is represented primarily as a drive to the excitatory neurons, whereas attention corresponds to a reduction in driving current to the inhibitory neurons. Using this hypothesis, the model reproduces the following experimental observations: (1) the firing rate of the excitatory neurons increases with contrast; (2) for high contrast stimuli, the firing rate saturates and the network synchronizes; (3) attention shifts the contrast response curve to lower contrast values; (4) attention leads to stronger synchronization that starts at a lower value of the contrast compared with the attend-away condition. In addition, it predicts that attention increases the delay between the inhibitory and excitatory synchronous volleys produced by the network, allowing the stimulus to recruit more downstream neurons.
title: Quine: Before and after the commitment to naturalism
Creators: name: Kirkwood, Nathan Daniel Haining

Subjects: subject: Quine, naturalism, history of analytic philosophy, W.V. Quine.

description: There is little in Quine’s philosophy that is more significant and more puzzling than his commitment to naturalism. On the one hand, naturalism seems to play an unparalleled role in explaining the development and unorthodox nature of Quine’s views. On the other hand, however, naturalism is deeply elusive. Not only is there disagreement amongst commentators about how to understand the nature and development of naturalism, but also Quine’s own characterisations of naturalism are often thinly sketched and leave us with few clues as to how we should understand naturalism and its origins. In light of these reasons, it is a significant challenge to arrive at an accurate picture of what naturalism amounts to and how it fits into Quine’s philosophical development. The purpose of this thesis is to provide an analysis of Quine’s commitment to naturalism, and to highlight the ways in which this analysis illuminates the surrounding landscape of his philosophical views. Here, I endeavour to show that careful analysis into what Quine’s commitment to naturalism amounts to establishes that this commitment is not as longstanding as is often thought. More specifically, I argue that Quine is not committed to naturalism until shortly after ‘Two Dogmas of Empiricism’, and this reveals that Quine’s philosophical work cannot be felicitously understood as revolving around a stable commitment to naturalism. Having established this, I then explain the ways in which this analysis informs a thorough interpretation of several vital aspects of his thought, such as the development of his attitude towards analyticity, and his sustained commitment to empiricism. I believe that these findings motivate and lay the foundations of a cautious and appropriately nuanced understanding of Quine.

description: Background: The goal of this study was to determine if 10-min of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) to the motor cortex (M1) is capable of modulating quadriceps isometric maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force or fatigue endurance contralateral or ipsilateral to the stimulation site. Results: The main finding of this study was a significant interaction effect for stimulation condition x leg tested x time [F(1,60) =7.156, p = 0.010, ηp2 = 0.11] which revealed significant absolute KE MVC force impairments in the contralateral leg following s-tDCS (p < 0.001, d =1.2) and in the ipsilateral leg following a-tDCS (p < 0.001, d = 1.09). A significant interaction effect for condition x leg tested [F(1,56) = 8.12, p = 0.006, ηp2 = 0.13], showed a significantly lower left quadriceps (ipsilateral to tDCS) relative MVC force with a-tDCS, versus s-tDCS [t(15) = -3.07, p = 0.016, d = -0.77]. There was no significant difference between the relative right quadriceps (contralateral to tDCS) MVC force for a-tDCS and s-tDCS. Although, there was an overall significant [F(1,56) = 8.36, p < 0.001] 12.1% force decrease between the first and twelfth MVC repetitions, there were no significant main or interaction effects for fatigue index force. Conclusion: Hence, a-tDCS may be ineffective at increasing maximal force or endurance and instead may be detrimental to quadriceps force production.

Future-ready faculty: Developing the characteristics of expertise in teaching in higher education
Creators: name: King, Helen
Publisher: name: ETH Learning and Teaching Journal
Year: 2020

description: In higher education (HE), “ways of thinking and practising” (WTP) have been considered for many academic disciplines (e.g. McCune & Hounsell, 2005), but less so for the practice of HE teaching. In other professions, WTP is explored through the concept of expertise (e.g. Ericsson et al, 2006). A better understanding of expertise of HE teachers will help inform the enhancement of educational development (Kreber et al, 2005; Saroyan & Trigwell, 2015). This paper proposes a model of expertise in HE teaching based on the expertise literature, empirical research, and reflection on practice. The model is presented as three interacting aspects: • Pedagogical Content Knowledge (Shulman, 1986) • Artistry of Teaching: authentic, creative & improvisatory (Schön, 1982) • Self-determined & purposeful approaches to learning and development (King, 2019)

Developing a curriculum mapping framework to enhance discipline-specific academic professional development in South Africa

description: Curriculum mapping is a concept that is reasonably well documented in mapping literature. However, many existing curriculum mapping processes do not address discipline-specific curriculum mapping that assists academics to develop their Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) through the use of content representations (CoRe). This article, therefore, intends to address this gap and develop a mapping template that embeds PCK, through the use of a systematic review of the literature method to identify common curriculum mapping features. It is envisaged that the curriculum-mapping framework thus derived will enable academics to understand that there is a close relationship between what is taught and the choice of pedagogy in teaching a specific topic in a discipline.

Local Equivalence Problem in Hidden Markov Model

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In the hidden Markov process, there is a possibility that two different transition matrices for hidden and observed variables yield the same stochastic behavior for the observed variables. Since such two transition matrices cannot be distinguished, we need to identify them and consider that they are equivalent, in practice. We address the equivalence problem of hidden Markov process in a local neighborhood by using the geometrical structure of hidden Markov process. For this aim, we introduce a mathematical concept to express Markov process, and formulate its exponential family by using generators. Then, the above equivalence problem is formulated as the equivalence problem of generators. Taking this equivalence problem into account, we derive several concrete parametrizations in several natural cases.

Boundary Integral Methods for Multicomponent Fluids and Multiphase Materials

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2001

description: In this paper, we present a brief review of the application of boundary integral methods in two dimensions to multi-component uid ows and multi-phase problems in materials science. We focus on the recent development and outcome of methods which accurately and efficiently include surface tension. In uid ows, we examine the effects of surface tension on the Kelvin-Helmholtz and Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities in inviscid uids, the generation of capillary waves on the free surface, and problems in Hele-Shaw ows involving pattern formation through the Saffman-Taylor instability, pattern selection, and singularity formation. In materials science, we discuss microstructure evolution in diffusional phase transformations, and the effects of the competition between surface and elastic energies on microstructure morphology. A common link between these different physical phenomena is the utility of an analysis of the appropriate equations of motion at small spatial scales to develop accurate and ecient time-stepping methods.

description: In light of concern about student mental well-being and pressure for universities to take action, we present an approach for increasing awareness and challenging assumptions around the importance of emotion in learning and teaching. We draw on Barrett’s (2017) and Pekrun’s (2006) theories and our experience to explore how, as educational developers, we can inform the ways academics and students make sense of and regulate emotions inherent in education. Key areas of focus include educational development activities to reconceptualise the role of positive and negative emotions in learning (Pekrun & Perry, 2014).

A projective two-weight code related to the simple group ${\rm Co}_1$ of Conway

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)

description: A binary $[98280, 24, 47104]_2$ projective two-weight code related to the sporadic simple group ${\rm Co}_1$ of Conway is constructed as a faithful and absolutely irreducible submodule of the permutation module induced by the primitive action of ${\rm Co}_1$ on the cosets of ${\rm Co}_2$. The dual code of this code is a uniformly packed $[98280, 98256,3]_2$ code. The geometric significance of the codewords of the code can be traced to the vectors in the Leech lattice, thus revealing that the stabilizer of any non-zero weight codeword in the code is a maximal subgroup of ${\rm Co}_1$. Similarly, the stabilizer of the codewords of minimum weight in the dual code is a maximal subgroup of ${\rm Co}_1$. As by-product, a new strongly regular graph on 16777216 vertices and valency 98280 is constructed using the codewords of the code.

Rapid evaluation of radiation boundary kernels for time-domain wave propagation on blackholes: theory and numerical methods
Creators: name: Lau, Stephen R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: For scalar, electromagnetic, or gravitational wave propagation on a background Schwarzschild blackhole, we describe the exact nonlocal radiation outer boundary conditions (robc) appropriate for a spherical outer boundary of finite radius enclosing the blackhole. Derivation of the robc is based on Laplace and spherical–harmonic transformation of the Regge–Wheeler equation, the pde governing the wave propagation, with the resulting radial ode an incarnation of the confluent Heun equation. For a given angular integer l the robc feature integral convolution between a time–domain radiation boundary kernel (tdrk) and each of the corresponding 2l+1 spherical–harmonic modes of the radiating wave field. The tdrk is the inverse Laplace transform of a frequency–domain radiation kernel (fdrk) which is essentially the logarithmic derivative of the asymptotically outgoing solution to the radial ode. We numerically implement the robc via a rapid algorithm involving approximation of the fdrk by a rational function. Such an approximation is tailored to have relative error ε uniformly along the axis of imaginary Laplace frequency. Theoretically, ε is also a long–time bound on the relative convolution error. Via study of one–dimensional radial evolutions, we demonstrate that the robc capture the phenomena of quasinormal ringing and decay tails. Moreover, carrying out a numerical experiment in which a wave packet strikes the boundary at an angle, we find that the robc yield accurate results in a three–dimensional setting. Our work is a partial generalization to Schwarzschild wave propagation and Heun functions of the methods developed for flatspace wave propagation and Bessel functions by Alpert, Greengard, and Hagstrom (agh), save for one key difference. Whereas agh had the usual armamentarium of analytical results (asymptotics, order recursion relations, bispectrality) for Bessel functions at their disposal, what we need to know about Heun functions must be gathered numerically as relatively less is known about them. Therefore, unlike agh, we are unable to offer an asymptotic analysis of our rapid implementation.

An efficient method for solving highly anisotropic elliptic equations
Creators: name: Santilli, Edward
name: Scotti, Alberto
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Solving elliptic PDEs in more than one dimension can be a computationally expensive task. For some applications characterised by a high degree of anisotropy in the coefficients of the elliptic operator, such that the term with the highest derivative in one direction is much larger than the terms in the remaining directions, the discretized elliptic operator often has a very large condition number – taking the solution even further out of reach using traditional methods. This paper will demonstrate a solution method for such ill-behaved problems. The high condition number of the D-dimensional discretized elliptic operator will be exploited to split the problem into a series of well-behaved one and (D − 1)- dimensional elliptic problems. This solution technique can be used alone on sufficiently coarse grids, or in conjunction with standard iterative methods, such as Conjugate Gradient, to substantially reduce the number of iterations needed to solve the problem to a specified accuracy. The solution is formulated analytically for a generic anisotropic problem using arbitrary coordinates, hopefully bringing this method into the scope of a wide variety of applications.

description: We discuss secure transmission via an untrusted relay when we have a multiple access phase from two nodes to the relay and broadcast phase from the relay to the two nodes. To realize the security, we construct a code that securely transmits the modulo sum of the messages of two nodes via a multiple access channel. In this code, the relay cannot obtain any information for the message of each node, and can decode only the messages of the two nodes. Our code is constructed by simple combination of an existing liner code and universal2 hash function.

description: This paper aimed to describe the experiences and perspectives of residential child care practitioners in dealing with the mental health difficulties of the children for whom they are responsible and to compare their experience with that of other professionals. it draws on the findings of the Scottish Needs Assessment Programme (SNAP) which surveyed a wide range of professionals who worked regularly with young people but whose main focus of work was not mental health. This article focuses on the findings from questionnaires sent out to 289 residential workers in Scotland. Replies were received from 104 staff, giving a 36 percent response rate. Residential workers were asked about their most recent experience of working with a child or young person with mental health, emotional or behavioural problems, the most worrying case they had worked with in the last three years and the case that had given them the most satisfaction in the same timescale.

description: In this paper, we study the dyadic Carleson Embedding Theorem in the matrix weighted setting. We provide two new proofs of this theorem, which highlight connections between the matrix Carleson Embedding Theorem and both maximal functions and $H^1$-BMO duality. Along the way, we establish boundedness results about new maximal functions associated to matrix $A_2$ weights and duality results concerning $H^1$ and BMO sequence spaces in the matrix setting. As an application, we then use this Carleson Embedding Theorem to show that if $S$ is a sparse operator, then the operator norm of $S$ on $L^2(W)$ satisfies: \[ \| S\|_{L^2(W) \rightarrow L^2(W)} \lesssim [W]_{A_2}^{\frac{3}{2}},\] for every matrix $A_2$ weight $W$.

description: Ever since faculty development became a required element of higher education in Japan, numerous initiatives have emerged to improve teaching at the organizational and individual levels (2020). However, little focus has been placed on supporting or accelerating regular classroom improvement undertaken independently by individual teachers. Further, we observe that the burden of publicizing the results of their undertakings and sharing them with instructors who face similar problems still remains with the teachers themselves. Since 2017, the Center for Teaching and Learning at Teikyo University has implemented the SoTL Project, which supports educational research conducted by faculty members on their own classes. A post-project survey completed by participants revealed that many felt their SoTL efforts were very significant.

description: We investigate the dynamics of a phonon-mediated superconductor driven out of equilibrium. The electronic hopping amplitude is ramped down in time, resulting in an increased electronic density of states. The dynamics of the coupled electron-phonon model is investigated by solving Migdal-Eliashberg equations for the double-time Keldysh Green's functions. The increase of the density of states near the Fermi level leads to an enhancement of superconductivity when the system thermalizes to the new state at the same temperature. We provide a time- and momentum-resolved view on this thermalization process, and show that it involves fast processes associated with single-particle scattering and much slower dynamics associated with the superconducting order parameter. The importance of electron-phonon coupling for the rapid enhancement and the efficient thermalization of superconductivity is demonstrated, and the results are compared to a BCS time-dependent mean-field approximation.

description: This thesis contains three chapters. All chapters study different aspects of macroeconomic policy. The first chapter studies discretionary monetary policy in an economy where economic agents have quasi-hyperbolic discounting. It demonstrates that a benevolent central bank is able to keep inflation under control for a wide range of discount factors. If the central bank, however, does not adopt the household's time preferences and tries to discourage early-consumption and delayed-saving, then a marginal increase in steady state output is achieved at the cost of a much higher average inflation rate. Indeed, it shows that it is desirable from a welfare perspective for the central bank to quasi-hyperbolically discount by more than households do. Welfare is improved because this discount structure emphasizes the current-period cost of price changes and leads to lower average inflation. It contrasts the results with those obtained when policy is conducted according to a Taylor-type rule. The second chapter analyses the effect of endogenous discounting on wealth inequality in an endowment economy with heterogeneous agents, subject to occasionally binding borrowing constraint. It demonstrates that introduction of Uzawa-type preferences may launch a strong redistribution mechanism leading to high equilibrium real interest rate and a more dispersed wealth distribution in comparison to the model with standard preferences. The third chapter studies macroprudential policy in a macro-model with a heterogeneous banking sector, prone to asymmetric information and moral hazard a la Boissay et.al. (2016). This model is shown to generate financial crises when a sequence of small positive technology shocks can lead to an increase in lending, as well as to a reduction in all market rates. This paper investigates a scope for a macroprudential policy that would reduce probability of a financial crisis, but not lead to a too sharp reduction in a social welfare. It demonstrates that the introduction of a direct proportional tax on interbank lending can substantially reduce the amount of credit and reduce probability of a financial crisis.

description: There is growing interest in quantum-spacetime models in which small departures from Lorentz symmetry are governed by the Planck scale. In particular, several studies have considered the possibility that these small violations of Lorentz symmetry may affect various astrophysical observations, such as the evaluation of the GZK limit for cosmic rays, the interaction of TeV photons with the Far Infrared Background and the arrival time of photons with different energies from cosmological sources. We show that the same Planck-scale departures from Lorentz symmetry that lead to a modification of the GZK limit which would be consistent with the observations reported by AGASA, also have significant implications for the evaluation of the Bahcall-Waxman bound on the flux of high-energy neutrinos produced by photo-meson interactions in sources of size not much larger than the proton photo-meson mean free path.

description: We use lattice simulations to examine the detailed dynamics of inflaton fragmentation during and after preheating in λΦ4 chaotic inflation. The dynamics are qualitatively similar to preheating after m2Φ2 inflation, involving the exponential growth and subsequent expansion and collision of bubble-like inhomogeneities of the inflaton and other scalar fields. During this stage fluctuations of the fields become strongly non-Gaussian. In the quartic theory, the conformal nature of the theory allows us to extend our simulations to much greater times than is possible for the quadratic model. With these longer simulations we have been able to determine the time scale on which Gaussianity is restored, which occurs after a time on the order of a thousand inflaton oscillations.
Designing for blended learning to foster deeper learning: Exploring the use of ICAP theory of cognitive engagement as a professional development activity to support academic teachers’ practices

description: This study was aimed at increasing our current knowledge on how professional development initiatives can be structured to develop and strengthen academics’ pedagogical practices in implementing blended learning (BL) in university education. We investigated the mindsets and processes of 2 groups of academics in a research-intensive university in Singapore. The first group of academics had implemented BL at the early stages of the university’s efforts to encourage the broader adoption of this innovative approach, while the second group comprised academics who had attended a professional development course on BL conducted by the faculty development unit within the institution. Initial analysis of interview data revealed positive results on the effectiveness of the professional development course and the use of the ICAP framework to enhance academic teachers’ practices in implementing BL.

description: Given a smooth distribution $\mathscr{D}$ of $m$-dimensional planes along a smooth regular curve $γ$ in $\mathbb{R}^{m+n}$, we consider the following problem: to find an $m$-dimensional rank-one submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^{m+n}$, that is, an $(m-1)$-ruled submanifold with constant tangent space along the rulings, such that its tangent bundle along $γ$ coincides with $\mathscr{D}$. In particular, we give sufficient conditions for the local well-posedness of the problem, together with a parametric description of the solution.

description: We propose a description for the quasi-equilibrium self-assembly of small, single-stranded (ss) RNA viruses whose capsid proteins (CPs) have flexible, positively charged, disordered tails that associate with the negatively charged RNA genome molecules. We describe the assembly of such viruses as the interplay between two coupled phase-transition like events: the formation of the protein shell (the capsid) by CPs and the condensation of a large ss viral RNA molecule. Electrostatic repulsion between the CPs competes with attractive hydrophobic interactions and attractive interaction between neutralized RNA segments mediated by the tail-groups. An assembly diagram is derived in terms of the strength of attractive interactions between CPs and between CPs and the RNA molecules. It is compared with the results of recent studies of viral assembly. We demonstrate that the conventional theory of self-assembly, which does describe the assembly of \textit{empty} capsids, is in general not applicable to the self-assembly of RNA-encapsidating virions.

description: In cyclic cosmology based on phantom dark energy the requirement that our universe satisfy a CBE-condition (Comes Back Empty) imposes a lower bound on the number Ncp of causal patches which separate just prior to turnaround. This bound depends on the dark energy equation of state w = p/p = −1−Φ with Φ > 0. More accurate measurement of Φ will constrain Ncp. The critical density pc in the model has a lower bound pc ≥ (109GeV)4 or pc ≥ (1018GeV)4 when the smallest bound state has size 10−15m, or 10−35m, respectively.
