description: [transcription] à Paris le 7 de septembre 1761.

Je n'ai point été surpris, Monsieur, de la dure et sèche discrimination de notre conseil de ville. Je l'avais positivement prévu, même avant que je formasse ma demande. Je connais trop bien la manière de penser du pays pour avoir pris le change et m'être silencieusement embarquédans cette tentative. Je fondais toute mon espérance, ainsi que je vous l'ai souvent marqué par mes lettres, sur votre médiation et sur l'estime générale que vous vous êtes justement acquise parmi vos habitants. Je m'étais flatté que ma demande, appuyée de votre crédit, recevrait une impression de faveur qui pourrait en opérer le succès ou du moins en préparer les voies et que le sentiment et l'humanité feraient le reste. n'importe: je suis trop consolé par l'idée agréable qui me reste de l'étendue de votre amitié. Vous avez pris une peine et vous [vous] êtes donné des mouvements que le coeur seul peut inspirer et soutenir. Aussi ma sensibilité en est elle infinie et ma reconnaissance sans bornes. Je vous en fais mes très justes et très sincères remerciements. Commece n'est pas l'issue de la chose que je regarde, mais votre seule complaisance pour moi et votre attache à mes intérêts, je vous en ai toute la même obligation. Si de mon côté je pouvais vous être utile à quelque chose, ne m'épargnez pas ; car je me ferai toujours et dans toutes les occasions un devoir et un doux plaisir de vous y servir dans toute l'étendue de mon zéle et de mon dévouement pour vous.

Je suis bien mortifié du mauvais état de votre santé. Ces indispositions si fréquentes ne proviendraient elles pas de trop d'application et d'attache à l'étude? Car c'est là la source générale de toutes les maladies dont les gens de lettres peuvent être attaqués. En ce cas, vous êtes trop sage et trop prudent pour ne pas faire céder le plaisir de l'étude à l'intérêt de votre santé. Conservez là donc à l'exclusion de tout le reste et pour vous et pour vos amis.

J'ai reçu le mémoire que vous avez eu la bonté de vous faire donner et de m'envoyer sur la descendance et filiation de Mirabaud. Je vous en suis infiniment obligé. M. le marquis d'Aubais m'a écrit de Toulouse, où il est allé pour ses affaires. Il n'y fera pas un long séjour. On vient de juger ici un incident préliminaire de son procès très important, et il l'a gagné avec dépens : ce qui donne une face très avantageuse et très favorable à toute son affaire.

On ne peut rien ajouter à l'amitié la plus sincère et aux sentiments les plus distingués avec lesquels j'ai l'honneur d'être, Mon cher Monsieur, votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur.

Ménard.

Marquis d'Aubais

The Influence of Psychosocial Variables on Treatment Outcomes, Expectations and Costs in Acute Low Back Pain
Creators: name: Magel, John Shelton
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Low back pain (LBP) is a common and costly problem. Among the top primary care research priorities are identifying prognostic subgroups of patients with LBP and identifying specific management strategies based on relevant subgroups. The Start Back Screening Tool (SBST) is a primary care decision tool that stratifies patients into prognostic subgroups based on the patient's risk for prolonged disability. Other subgrouping strategies screen for patients who fit a prediction rule (CPR) that may identify them as likely to respond to spinal manipulation (SM). It is unclear whether patients who are stratified by the SBST (high- and medium-risk) and who meet a CPR respond differentially to SM with exercise based on their risk stratification. In a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial, we found no 2-way interactions between risk stratification and treatment group at 4-week, 3-month or 1-year time points for disability or pain, indicating that the effects of treatment were no different between the medium- and high-risk groups. When we examined the effects of treatment separately within each risk subgroup, SM with exercise was superior to usual care at 3 months for disability and pain in those categorized as high-risk (mean difference = 3.95, 95% CI: 0.02, 7.87). After controlling for covariates, the SBST accounted for 2.4% (β = 4.25, p = 0.035) of the variance in the 4-week disability. In the same group of patients, we explored the relationship between the SBST and treatment expectations. Expectations of benefit from ten commonly used interventions for LBP were represented by four principal components: Exercise, Passive, Rest/Medication and Surgery). There were no associations between the components and the SBST (high versus medium- and low-risk). Finally, we retrospectively examined the influence of a mental health (MH) comorbidity on LBP-related healthcare costs in new consulters to primary care for LBP. Interaction terms between mental health comorbidity and patient factors were explored as contributors to predicting total costs. Individuals with a comorbid MH condition had higher LBP-related costs than those without. Males with a MH comorbidity experienced greater LBP-related healthcare costs than females (mean difference = $1077.26 USD, 95% CI = 428.10 - 1776.43).

description: We present radio, millimeter and optical observations of the afterglow of GRB030329. UBVR_{C}I_{C} photometry is presented for a period of 3 hours to 34 days after the burst. Radio monitoring at 1280 MHz has been carried out using the GMRT for more than a year. Simultaneous millimeter observations at 90 GHz and 230 GHz have been obtained from the Swedish-ESO Submillimeter Telescope (SEST) and the IRAM-PdB interferometer over more than a month following the burst. We use these data to constrain the double jet model proposed by Berger et al. (2003) for this afterglow. We also examine whether instead of the two jets being simultaneously present, the wider jet could result from the initially narrow jet, due to a fresh supply of energy from the central engine after the ``jet break''.

Induced pluripotent stem cells and genome engineering in the study of the human 343delt hspb5 chaperone associated with early-onset skeletal myopathy

description: HSPB5 (aka αB-crystallin or CRYAB) is a small molecular weight heat shock protein that functions as a key chaperone in striated muscle. Mutations in HSPB5 are linked with human disease including cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, and cataracts. Abnormal accumulation or protein aggregation including the mutant form of HSPB5 in muscle is a hallmark of the majority of known disease-associated HSPB5 variants, though it is yet unclear mechanistically how this mutant chaperone contributes to myopathy (reviewed in Chapter 1). This dissertation focuses on molecular studies of one such mutation, 343delT, which is associated with severe early-onset skeletal myopathy requiring ventilation to sustain life. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from the patient harboring the 343delT mutation along with genome edited isogenic control cell lines are utilized in this work as a mechanism to study the endogenous form of the protein in cell types of interest (i.e., skeletal and cardiac muscle). Molecular studies of 343delT HSPB5 demonstrate extreme insolubility of the mutant protein and suggest a loss of function mechanism for disease, though gain-of-toxic function cannot be excluded (Chapter 3). Chapter 2 is included as an addendum to the Introduction on HSPB5 (Chapter 1) to provide relevant background information on iPSCs and genome editing. The fast-paced genome editing field is currently hampered by inefficient means of isolating cells containing modifications of interest. Previously published approaches employed in Chapter 3 were highly efficient, though required a two-step editing process and were not readily scalable. Chapter 4 presents a strategy for genome editing, termed cotargeting with selection (CTS) that involves simultaneous targeting of two loci, where selection for incorporation of a selection cassette into a safe-harbor locus enriches many fold for a separate modification at a gene of interest. CTS streamlines the genome editing process compared with previous techniques. Chapter 5 of this dissertation includes a combined discussion and Chapter 6 presents future experiments planned for the study of 343delT HSPB5. Altogether, this dissertation affords molecular insights into myopathy causing 343delT HSPB5 using cutting edge technology of iPSCs and genome editing, as well as providing technical advancement to the field of genome editing.

description: The adjustment of African international students in the United States may be different from the experiences of international students from other regions as African students are considered racial/ethnic minorities in the U.S. who can be exposed to racism, nativism, and other discrimination. This study focuses on the structural systems impacting African international graduate students in the U.S. and the intercentricity of various forms of opportunities and oppressions impacting their experiences. Findings revealed four themes: (1) Assumptions made by American Peers and Faculty (2) Adjustment Challenges Situated within Campus Systems (3) Campus Internationalization Rhetoric (4) Conflicting Worldviews. While these themes illustrate how students’ experience negative social positioning and other challenges on their campuses, they also demonstrate students resisting marginalizing experiences.

description: Let H and K be Hilbert spaces and T be a coarse-graining from B(H) to B(K). Assume that density matrices D_1 and D_2 acting on H are given. In the paper the consequences of the existence of a coarse-graining S from B(K) to B(H) satisfying ST(D_1)=D_1 and ST(D_2)=D_2 are given. (This condition means the sufficiency of T for D_1 and D_2.) Sufficiency implies a particular decomposition of the density matrices. This decomposition allows to deduce the exact condition for equality in the strong subadditivity of the von Neumann entropy.

description: Trends observed in galaxies, such as the Gao \& Solomon relation, suggest a linear relation between the star formation rate and the mass of dense gas available for star formation. Validation of such relations requires the establishment of reliable methods to trace the dense gas in galaxies. One frequent assumption is that the HCN ($J=1$--0) transition is unambiguously associated with gas at $\rm{}H_2$ densities $\gg{}10^4~\rm{}cm^{-3}$. If so, the mass of gas at densities $\gg{}10^4~\rm{}cm^{-3}$ could be inferred from the luminosity of this emission line, $L_{\rm{}HCN\,(1\text{--}0)}$. Here we use observations of the Orion~A molecular cloud to show that the HCN ($J=1$--0) line traces much lower densities $\sim{}10^3~\rm{}cm^{-3}$ in cold sections of this molecular cloud, corresponding to visual extinctions $A_V\approx{}6~\rm{}mag$. We also find that cold and dense gas in a cloud like Orion produces too little HCN emission to explain $L_{\rm{}HCN\,(1\text{--}0)}$ in star--forming galaxies, suggesting that galaxies might contain a hitherto unknown source of HCN emission. In our sample of molecules observed at frequencies near 100~GHz (also including $\rm{}^{12}CO$, $\rm{}^{13}CO$, $\rm{}C^{18}O$, CN, and CCH), $\rm{}N_2H^+$ is the only species clearly associated with rather dense gas.

description: The Georgi-Machacek model is used to motivate and interpret LHC searches for doubly- and singly-charged Higgs bosons decaying into vector boson pairs. In this paper we study the constraints on and phenomenology of the "H5plane" benchmark scenario in the Georgi-Machacek model, which has been proposed for use in these searches. We show that the entire H5plane benchmark is compatible with the LHC measurements of the 125 GeV Higgs boson couplings. We also point out that, over much of the H5plane benchmark, the lineshapes of the two CP-even neutral heavy Higgs bosons $H$ and $H_5^0$ will overlap and interfere when produced in vector boson fusion with decays to $W^+W^-$ or $ZZ$. Finally we compute the decay branching ratios of the additional heavy Higgs bosons within the H5plane benchmark to facilitate the development of search strategies for these additional particles.

description: This paper examines the coherence in multipartite systems. We first discuss the distribution of total coherence in a given multipartite quantum state into discord between subsystems and coherent dissonance in each individual subsystem, using the relative entropy as a distance measure. Then we give some trade-off relations between various types of coherence and discord within a bipartite system,and extend these results to the multipartite setting. Finally, the change of coherence in entanglement distribution is studied.

description: The irradiation with the 10 ns pulsed infrared Nd:YAG laser was applied to transform FePdCu multilayers into chemically ordered L10 phase. The X-ray diffraction methods (Theta/2Theta scan, psi-scan, omega-scan) were used to trace the presence of L10 phase after laser annealing with different number of pulses. The size and shape of crystallites was determined depending on their orientation with respect to film plane. The (111) oriented crystallites of constituent metals were built as coherent domains spreading through multilayers during deposition of films. Laser annealing induced the transformation of multilayers to alloy, and the ordering of (111) oriented crystallites. Simultaneously, the (002) oriented crystallites appeared confirming the transformation to L10 alloy.

Thermodynamic theory of dislocation-enabled plasticity
Creators: name: Langer, J. S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The thermodynamic theory of dislocation-enabled plasticity is based on two unconventional hypotheses. The first of these is that a system of dislocations, driven by external forces and irreversibly exchanging heat with its environment, must be characterized by a thermodynamically defined effective temperature that is not the same as the ordinary temperature. The second hypothesis is that the overwhelmingly dominant mechanism controlling plastic deformation is thermally activated depinning of entangled pairs of dislocations. This paper consists of a systematic reformulation of this theory followed by examples of its use in analyses of experimentally observed phenomena including strain hardening, grain-size (Hall-Petch) effects, yielding transitions, and adiabatic shear banding.

description: We present the first combined study of the recently discovered source IGR J16283-4838 with Swift, INTEGRAL, and RXTE. The source, discovered by INTEGRAL on April 7, 2005, shows a highly absorbed (variable N_H = 0.4 - 1.7 x 1e23 1/cm**2) and flat (photon index = 1) spectrum in the Swift/XRT and RXTE/PCA data. No optical counterpart is detectable (V > 20 mag), but a possible infrared counterpart within the Swift/XRT error radius is detected in the 2MASS and Spitzer/GLIMPSE survey. The observations suggest that IGR J16283-4838 is a high mass X-ray binary containing a neutron star embedded in Compton thick material. This makes IGR J16283-4838 a member of the class of highly absorbed HMXBs, discovered by INTEGRAL.

description: Littering quantification is an important step for improving cleanliness of cities. When human interpretation is too cumbersome or in some cases impossible, an objective index of cleanliness could reduce the littering by awareness actions. In this paper, we present a fully automated computer vision application for littering quantification based on images taken from the streets and sidewalks. We have employed a deep learning based framework to localize and classify different types of wastes. Since there was no waste dataset available, we built our acquisition system mounted on a vehicle. Collected images containing different types of wastes. These images are then annotated for training and benchmarking the developed system. Our results on real case scenarios show accurate detection of littering on variant backgrounds.

Interpretation of induced polarization and resistivity data

Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: Earth resistance (Geophysics) Polarization (Electricity)

description: Complex resistivity and dielectric data may be interpreted quite simply in terms of relaxations. Ridge regression inversion has been used to fit various simple relaxation models to complex resistivity measurements of mineralized and clay-bearing terrestrial rocks, and to dielectric measurements of returned lunar samples. The model-fitting procedure allows 1) limited identification of the physical processes responsible for conductive and dielectric behavior, 2) parameterization of data so that slight variations in spectra due to changes in temperature, composition, concentration, or qrain size may be characterized accuretely , and 3) easy transformation between the frequency, time and distribution function domains via the analytic forms for the relaxations in each domain, and the relaxation parameters determined by inverston of the observed data. Of all the relaxation models which have been considered, the Cole -Cole model has been found to provide the simplest, yet most accurate, representation of the complex resistivity behavior of mineralized rocks. This model has been used to fit in-situ measurements made over the frequency range 10_2 to 10 +5 hz on 26 North American magnetite, pyrrhotite, graphite, massive sulfide and porphyry copper deposits. Two of the model parameters, the DC resistivity and the frequency dependence, show relatively minor variation for different types of mineralization. As a result of the typically low value of frequency dependence (around 0.25) for natural mineralization, it is relatively easy to identify and remove, through inversion, the effects of inductive electromagnetic coupling (which tends to have a frequency dependence near 1.0). The main variation in model parameters w ith different types of mineralization occurs in the chargeability, and particularly in the time constant, of the relaxation. Graphite, pyrrhotite, and "wet" porphyry deposits are associated with large time constants whereas volcanogenic massive sulfides, magnetite and "dry" porphyry deposits are associated with small time constants. Since studies of the impedance of the mineral-electrolyte interface reveal relatively small variations with mineral type, the differences in time constant and chargeability appear mainly due to characteristic differences in minerel texture rather than differences in composition. Measurements over mineral deposits of limited size result in apparent complex resistivity spectra which are different from the true spectra. However, the relaxation parameters describing apparent spectra may be predicted from the true relaxation parameters and from the same dilution factor used to obtain apparent polarizability from true polarzability. Calculation of the dilution factor is straightforward only if the geometry and resistivity of the source is known. A simple program, developed to invert apparent resistivity and poIarizability pseudosections, provides this information.

description: We present a detailed investigation into which properties of CDM halos make them effective strong gravitational lenses. Strong lensing cross sections of 878 clusters from an N-body simulation are measured by ray tracing through 13,594 unique projections. We measure concentrations, axis ratios, orientations, and the amount of substructure of each cluster, and compare the lensing weighted distribution of each quantity to that of the cluster population as a whole. The concentrations of lensing clusters are on average 34% larger than the typical cluster in the Universe. Despite this bias, the anomalously high concentrations (c >14) recently measured by several groups, appear to be inconsistent with the concentration distribution in our simulations, which predict < 2% of lensing clusters should have concentrations this high. No correlation is found between lensing cross section and the amount of substructure. We introduce several types of simplified dark matter halos, and use them to isolate which properties of CDM clusters make them effective lenses. Projections of halo substructure onto small radii and the large scale mass distribution of clusters do not significantly influence cross sections. The abundance of giant arcs is primarily determined by the mass distribution within an average overdensity of ~ 10,000. A multiple lens plane ray tracing algorithm is used to show that projections of large scale structure increase the giant arc abundance by a modest amount <7%. We revisit the question of whether there is an excess of giant arcs behind high redshift clusters in the RCS survey and find that the number of high redshift (z > 0.6) lenses is in good agreement with LCDM, although our simulations predict more low redshift (z < 0.6) lenses than were observed.

Inhibition of Native and Mutant BCR-ABL Using a Rationally Designed Coiled-Coil

description: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is caused by the constitutive kinase activity of the fusion oncoprotein BCR-ABL. Conventional therapy in CML utilizes tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), small molecules that target the ATP-binding pocket in the BCR-ABL kinase domain. Despite their success in treating this disease, continued use of TKIs can lead to drug resistance due to point mutations in the kinase domain. Additionally, non-specific (non-BCR-ABL) kinase inhibition by these TKIs can cause toxic off-target effects. To function as an aberrant kinase, BCR-ABL must first homo-oligomerize via a coiled-coil (CC) domain located at its N-terminus. Thus, inhibiting BCR-ABL oligomerization abolishes its function as an oncoprotein. Designing an inhibitor of the 72-amino acid BCR-ABL CC domain is the focus of this dissertation. To engineer a construct capable inhibiting oligomerization, strategically designed mutations were incorporated into an isolated BCR-ABL CC domain with the goal of promoting higher affinity binding to endogenous BCR-ABL while at the same time disfavoring binding to our isolated CC construct. The designed construct, called CCmut3, was tested in vitro in leukemia cells containing both wild-type and mutant BCR-ABL. Overall, in vitro treatment with CCmut3 resulted in a decrease in BCR-ABL kinase activity, induction of apoptosis, and a reduction in the proliferation and transformative ability of CML cells. Next, combining CCmut3 with ponatinib, a recently approved BCR-ABL TKI, was also explored. This combination resulted in improved BCR-ABL inhibition and a lowering of the dose of ponatinib necessary for efficacy. Finally, the later chapters in this dissertation focus on possible methods in which the deliverability and stability of CCmut3 can be improved. Truncation and helical capping were both attempted, however, neither provided an inhibitory advantage over the full-length CCmut3 construct. Thus, current designs are focusing on creating a hydrocarbon stapled and truncated CCmut3 peptide, expected to result in a translatable product for wild-type and therapy-resistant CML.

description: Using a sample of 3.08 million psi(2S) decays collected at sqrt{s} = 3.686 GeV with the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have measured the branching fractions for psi(2S) decays to pseudoscalar pairs pi+pi-, K+K-, and KsKl. We obtain B(psi(2S) -> pi+pi-) < 2.1 x 10^{-5} (90% C.L.), B(psi(2S) -> K+K-) = (6.3 +- 0.6(stat) +- 0.3(syst)) x 10^{-5}, and B(psi(2S) -> KsKl) = (5.8 +- 0.8(stat) +- 0.4(syst)) x 10^{-5}. The branching fractions allow extraction of the relative phase Delta = (95 +- 15) degrees and strength ratio R = (2.5 +- 0.4) of the three-gluon and one-photon amplitudes for these modes.

description: The Casimir force between dissipative metallic mirrors at non zero temperature has recently given rise to contradictory claims which have raised doubts about the theoretical expression of the force. In order to contribute to the resolution of this difficulty, we come back to the derivation of the force from basic principles of the quantum theory of lossy optical cavities. We obtain an expression which is valid for arbitrary mirrors, including dissipative ones, characterized by frequency dependent reflection amplitudes.

description: We present two-photon interference experiments with polarization-entangled photon pairs in a polarization-based Franson-type interferometer. Although the two photons do not meet at a common beamsplitter, a phase-insensitive Hong-Ou-Mandel type two-photon interference peak and dip fringes are observed, resulting from the two-photon interference effect between two indistinguishable two-photon probability amplitudes leading to a coincidence detection. A spatial quantum beating fringe is also measured for nondegenerate photon pairs in the same interferometer, although the two-photon states have no frequency entanglement. When unentangled polarization-correlated photons are used as an input state, the polarization entanglement is successfully recovered through the interferometer via delayed compensation.

description: We present the historic light curve of the BL Lac object S5 0716+714, spanning the time interval from 1953 to 2003, built using Asiago archive plates and our recent CCD observations, together with literature data. The source shows an evident long term variability, over which well known short term variations are superposed. In particular, in the period from 1961 to 1983 the mean brightness of S5 0716+714 remained significantly fainter than that observed after 1994. Assuming a constant variation rate of the mean magnitude we can estimate a value of about 0.11 magnitude/year. The simultaneous occurrence of decreasing ejection velocities of superluminal moving components in the jet reported by Bach et al. (2005) suggests that both phenomena are related to the change of the direction of the jet to the line of sight from about 5 to 0.7 degrees for an approximately constant bulk Lorentz factor of about 12. A simple explanation is that of a precessing relativistic jet, which should presently be close to the smallest orientation angle. One can therefore expect in the next ten years a decrease of the mean brightness of about 1 magnitude.

description: Half-lives of proton emission for Z$\ge$51 nuclei are calculated within a simple analytical model based on the WKB approximation for the barrier penetration probability which includes the centrifugal and overlapping effects besides the electrostatic repulsion. The model has a single free parameter associated to a Hulthen potential which emulates a Coulomb electrostatic interaction only at short distance. The agreement with experimental data is very good for most of the considered nuclei. Theoretical predictions are made for few cases with uncertain emitting state configuration or incomplete decay information. The model's assignment of the proton orbital momentum is in agreement with the differentiation of the experimental data by orbital momentum values realized with a newly introduced correlation formula.

description: We provide a basic introduction to discrete-variable, rotor, and continuous-variable quantum phase spaces, explaining how the latter two can be understood as limiting cases of the first. We extend the limit-taking procedures used to travel between phase spaces to a general class of Hamiltonians (including many local stabilizer codes) and provide six examples: the Harper equation, the Baxter parafermionic spin chain, the Rabi model, the Kitaev toric code, the Haah cubic code (which we generalize to qudits), and the Kitaev honeycomb model. We obtain continuous-variable generalizations of all models, some of which are novel. The Baxter model is mapped to a chain of coupled oscillators and the Rabi model to the optomechanical radiation pressure Hamiltonian. The procedures also yield rotor versions of all models, five of which are novel many-body extensions of the almost Mathieu equation. The toric and cubic codes are mapped to lattice models of rotors, with the toric code case related to U(1) lattice gauge theory.

description: The mudstone-dominated Early Cretaceous Agrio Formation is the youngest marine source rock interval of the hydrocarbon prolific Neuquén Basin, Argentina, yet its unconventional hydrocarbon potential remains relatively understudied. A northern section of the entire Agrio Formation and a southern composite section of the lower Pilmatué and middle Avilé Members, totaling ∼1,200 m of outcrop, were measured. From these measured sections, programmed pyrolysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thin section analyses were conducted on subsets of 441 samples and a high-resolution facies scheme and depositional model were established. The facies scheme and depositional model indicate distinctly more dynamic sedimentation in the substorm wave base, basinal to outer ramp portion, of this homoclinal ramp than previously described. Characterization of such heterogeneity allows for recognition of stratigraphic packaging and correlative relationships with established updip stratigraphy. Utilizing TOC, S2, and HI value cutoffs, this study identifies discrete stratigraphic packages totaling ~140 m thick within the upper Agua de la Mula and lower Pilmatué Members with the highest source rock potential. Based on regional correlation, source intervals within the Pilmatué Member lie within Retrogradational to Aggradational Parasequence Sets. This study provides a novel integration of macro and microfacies analysis, stratigraphy, and a geochemical analysis to define a new offshore depositional model and source potential of the Agrio Formation. The model presented here provides an analog for carbonate-dominated mudstone successions of interest as unconventional reservoirs worldwide.

description: This research explores the resources for the professional development of Bangladeshi English language teachers. The study has drawn on the theoretical framework of actiotope model in which the individual and environment dependent resources are termed as educational capitals and learning capitals respectively. This mixed methods research involved survey and focus group discussions to explore Bangladeshi teachers’ learning resources. The findings reveal that Bangladeshi English teachers are rich in cultural, didactic and attentional resources but they have poor economic, social and infrastructural resources. The study concluded with a set of recommendations for addressing the professional development needs of those teachers.
