subject: Second Language Acquisition

description: Due to the ever-growing number of immigrants entering the United States annually, the demand for adult classes of English as a second language (ESL) has swiftly increased, prompting the need for research to determine the most successful education techniques. This study seeks to supply additional information to the limited knowledge of adult ESL education through the analysis of survey and interview results conducted at the beginning and end of the class, and observations throughout the semester of both adult students and volunteer teachers in a gratuitous ESL class in Fairfax, Virginia. Initial surveys and interviews demonstrated that both students and teachers alike were extremely motivated, but decreased final attendance showed that most had lost their drive. It appeared the students who indicated a practical need to learn English were the most satisfied and remained as class participants. Both students and teachers seemed to absorb each other’s attitudes, creating a circle of causality that influenced all class members. The results of this study offer valuable information as to how adults and volunteer teachers respond to ESL classes, and also elicit opportunities for future studies.
title: Source Detection of SO2 Emissions with Unknown Origins Using UV Remote Sensing and Numerical Modeling

description: Trace gases such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) are capable of causing deleterious effects such as radiation damage, climate change, respiratory issues in animals and development of corrosive acid rain. Detection of such trace gases is typically conducted via ground and satellite remote sensing instrument measurements, and when used in tandem with an atmospheric Transport & Dispersion (T&D) model such as the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) system, the results can be used to solve trace gas source detection problems. This proposal discusses a methodology that combines HYSPLIT backward and forward modeling simulations to identify the characteristics of an unknown source of trace gas emissions. Specifically, this methodology will be used in the case of back tracing a passive SO2 release to determine the volcanic source. The AURA/OMI satellite can measure atmospheric trace gases, such as SO2, at a spectral resolution of 0.5nm from UV/VIS wavelengths of 270-500nm covering Earth daily (Levelt et al., 2006, Draxler & Rolph, 2003). HYSPLIT is a T&D modeling system that can compute concentrations and trajectories associated with atmospheric emissions. It is flexible in its ability to run normal, matrix and ensemble trajectory models at multiple tropospheric heights and incorporate meteorological data from North American or global sources (R. Draxler, Stunder, Rolph, Stein, & Taylor, 2009). The goal of this research is to identify the important characteristics of an unknown source, such as location, start time, duration of release and the altitude of the top of the release using numerical modeling in tandem with ground/satellite observations. For problems like passive volcanic release where the source is unknown, identifying the location is the primary source term to be estimated. For other problems in which the source location is known, source terms such as duration of the release and the altitude of the top of the release can be determined. By combining the forward and backward modes, the complete potential of the models is fully harnessed. This system combines the high accuracy associated with forward simulations, assuming known source characteristics, with the flexibility of work with unknown sources associated with backward simulations. Ultimately, this will be a useful tool in back tracing any type of spectrally identified emissions to their source, which could include power and chemical plants, smelting operations, and volcanoes for improved SO2 emission monitoring and emergency preparedness.

description: How different would the foreign policy of a democratic Russia be from the foreign policy of Russia now? While some aspects of a democratic Russia’s foreign policy would be different from that of the Putin/Medvedev regime, much of it could be the same. It is important to understand this since identifying how a democratic Russian foreign policy would be similar to as well as different from Putin/Medvedev’s helps us to distinguish between what are Russia’s core foreign policy interests — no matter what kind of regime is in power — and what are the peculiar interests of an authoritarian Russia which might change as democratisation occurs. It is timely to explore just what a democratic Russian foreign policy might be toward several areas, including Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Africa, the Near Abroad, and the United States.

description: Low-resource languages often face challenges in acquiring high-quality language data due to the reliance on translation-based methods, which can introduce the translationese effect. This phenomenon results in translated sentences that lack fluency and naturalness in the target language. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for data collection by leveraging storyboards to elicit more fluent and natural sentences. Our method involves presenting native speakers with visual stimuli in the form of storyboards and collecting their descriptions without direct exposure to the source text. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation comparing our storyboard-based approach with traditional text translation-based methods in terms of accuracy and fluency. Human annotators and quantitative metrics were used to assess translation quality. The results indicate a preference for text translation in terms of accuracy, while our method demonstrates worse accuracy but better fluency in the language focused.

Creators: name: Schumacher, Leon

description: The CO₂-assisted oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane is of great interest for the usage of CO₂ in chemical industry. Vanadia-based catalysts are a promising material class, which can replace highly toxic CrOₓ, the current state-of-the-art catalyst. Ceria is a commonly used support material in CO₂ activation but has not yet been used as a vanadia support for CO₂-assisted propane ODH. In this study, we address the interplay between vanadia and ceria as well as the nuclearity-dependent reaction behavior of VOₓ/CeO₂ catalysts using XRD, multi-wavelength Raman, UV-Vis, and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). While the vanadia loading increases the selectivity, the catalysts exhibit a significant amount of side reactions, including most prominently the total oxidation over bare ceria on surface oxygen sites due to their high reducibility and propane dry reforming (PDR) over catalysts with high vanadia loading. Mechanistic analysis reveals that dimers can transfer hydrogen from propane to the ceria lattice, forming Ce–H or to a monodentate carbonate, facilitating the reverse water–gas shift reaction (RWGSR), whereas a transfer to bridged Ce–OH surface species leads to total oxidation due to the high reactivity of the formed surface species. Oligomers facilitate PDR due to their high reducibility and the active oxygen site shifts from ceria to vanadia. The catalyst can be regenerated via carbonates, which are highly stable and can subsequently deactivate the catalyst surface. Our results highlight the benefit of applying multiple operando spectroscopies to enhance the mechanistic understanding of materials relevant for CO₂ activation and further the knowledge-based optimization of catalytic performance.

description: This thesis is a study of the Congressional elections in two districts of Massachusetts, Maine and Worcester, in 1790. Massachusetts election law required a candidate to receive 50 percent of the cast ballots to be declared winner. When no candidate reached this threshold, another election would be held. In both Worcester and Maine multiple canvasses were necessary to produce a winner. Although the second Congressional races were the first time that voters had an opportunity to express their opinions on how the new national government was taking shape, the newspaper campaigns leading up to these elections lacked an substantial discussion of national issues. The major pieces of legislation passed in the First Congress did not seem to factor into people’s decision. Instead, the focus was on the candidate’s background, personality, and relatively obscure pieces of legislation. The debates surrounding these elections do, however, foreshadow some of the issues that would divide the nation between Federalists and Republicans.

description: We present spectroscopic observations of Nova Cas 2020(V1391 Cas) obtained using the Russian Turkish Telescope during different stages of its 2020 outburst. We followed the spectral evolution of the nova until it entered the nebular phase. The expansion velocity of the ejecta reached $\sim$780 $\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}}$. The fluxes of the neutral [O I] lines at wavelengths 6300, 6364, and 5577 $Å$ were used to calculate the electron temperature and the mass of neutral oxygen in the ejecta. We found average values $T_e = 4890\,K$ ,$M_{OI} = 2.54 \times 10^{-5}\, M_{\odot}$ which are consistent with the values calculated for other novae. We modeled the nova's ejected envelope 515 days after its discovery and found that the log elemental abundances by number relative to Hydrogen of the envelope are He = -0.7, C = -5.5, O = -2.5, N = -2.0 and Ne = -4.0.

description: Wenn man abends in einem Großraumbüro im Lichtkegel der Schreibtischlampe arbeitet und rundherum Finsternis herrscht, kann das negative Auswirkungen auf die Psyche des Arbeitenden haben. Um dies zu verhindern, soll mit Hilfe von kabellosen Positionsaustauschs aller Leuchten eines Raumes eine Lichtwolke um den aktiven Arbeitsplatz erzeugt werden. Ein Softwaremodul berechnet über die Dämpfung eines ausgesendeten Signals den Abstand und entscheidet, welche Leuchten eingeschaltet werden. Deshalb werden Übertragungseigenschaften von Ultraschall und Infrarot mit Hilfe von Sender- und Empfängerschaltungen getestet und ausgewertet. Der Signalverlauf wird in halben Meterschritten bis zu einer Distanz von zehn Meter aufgezeichnet und in einem Korrelationsdiagramm visualisiert. Daraus ist erkennbar und wird durch das Ergebnis einer Bewertungsmatrix mit vier Bewertungskriterien unterstrichen, dass der Signaltyp Infrarot die bessere Wahl für diese Anwendung ist.
description: Working alone in an open space office in the light cone of a desk lamp can cause negative effects on the emotional well-being. To create a cloud of light, lamps should be connected to each other wirelessly to get the position information of each lamp in a room. In relation to the distance between active and disabled lamps, a software module regulates which lamps should be turned on based on the attenuation of the wireless signal. Two signal types, ultrasonic and infrared, have been evaluated by testing their transmission characteristics with circuits for transmission and receiving. The decreasing of the amplitude were recorded in 50 cm steps over 10 meters and the collected data were reviewed in a correlation chart. Due to this chart and an evaluation matrix with four assessment criteria infrared has shown as the better choice for such an application.

description: Microservices have transformed monolithic applications into lightweight, self-contained, and isolated application components, establishing themselves as a dominant paradigm for application development and deployment in public clouds such as Google and Alibaba. Autoscaling emerges as an efficient strategy for managing resources allocated to microservices' replicas. However, the dynamic and intricate dependencies within microservice chains present challenges to the effective management of scaled microservices. Additionally, the centralized autoscaling approach can encounter scalability issues, especially in the management of large-scale microservice-based clusters. To address these challenges and enhance scalability, we propose an innovative distributed resource provisioning approach for microservices based on the Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient algorithm. This approach enables effective autoscaling decisions and decentralizes responsibilities from a central node to distributed nodes. Comparative results with state-of-the-art approaches, obtained from a realistic testbed and traces, indicate that our approach reduces the average response time by 15% and the number of failed requests by 24%, validating improved scalability as the number of requests increases.

description: Microservice architecture has transformed traditional monolithic applications into lightweight components. Scaling these lightweight microservices is more efficient than scaling servers. However, scaling microservices still faces the challenges resulted from the unexpected spikes or bursts of requests, which are difficult to detect and can degrade performance instantaneously. To address this challenge and ensure the performance of microservice-based applications, we propose a status-aware and elastic scaling framework called StatuScale, which is based on load status detector that can select appropriate elastic scaling strategies for differentiated resource scheduling in vertical scaling. Additionally, StatuScale employs a horizontal scaling controller that utilizes comprehensive evaluation and resource reduction to manage the number of replicas for each microservice. We also present a novel metric named correlation factor to evaluate the resource usage efficiency. Finally, we use Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration and management platform, and realistic traces from Alibaba to validate our approach. The experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed framework can reduce the average response time in the Sock-Shop application by 8.59% to 12.34%, and in the Hotel-Reservation application by 7.30% to 11.97%, decrease service level objective violations, and offer better performance in resource usage compared to baselines.

Sleep is one of those essential elements of life, like water and oxygen, you can’t live without. But increasingly, getting a good night’s rest is a challenge. Long to-do lists, overactive minds, one’s handy mobile device calling from the night stand, the pinging sound it makes at night when an email pops through at 2 a.m. It all seems to be conspiring to prevent shut-eye.

description: National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) and Movember health campaigns in Twitter from the years 2015 and 2016 were studied to understand how tweets formed around these campaigns relate to cancer incidence ground truth data. Geolocated tweets were collected to characterize the spatial distribution at the state level of breast and prostate cancer related tweets, and comparisons were made between tweets and cancer incidence data to assess the relationship between tweet rate and state cancer incidence rates in the United States. It was hypothesized that states which participate the most in these cancer campaigns would exhibit higher cancer incidence rates; contrariwise, there was no correlation found between tweet rate and state cancer incidence rate for all four campaigns studied, indicating that these two variables did not exhibit a relationship in this study. A better understanding of health campaign participation and the relationship to cancer affected populations in Twitter can assist health professionals determine the effectiveness and impacts of health campaigns in Twitter.

title: Migrants at Work: Perceptions of Domestic Women & Coping with Racism in Lebanon
Creators: name: Abdallah, Serena
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Middle East
subject: Labor
subject: Migrants
subject: Lebanon
subject: Gender
subject: Human rights

description: This project takes an activist approach to the mistreatment of domestic workers who migrate into Lebanon from other countries with a focus on the women moving from Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines. It discusses the xenophobic tendencies of the Lebanese government and its people and how this impacts the import and export of human labor, and why migrant women come to Lebanon to work as domestic workers, and why they stay after hearing “horror stories” of rampant abuse. Suggestions of reform and further study are analyzed by looking at the activity of Lebanon-based NGOs and the effects of news media versus social media groups run by NGOs and the fight for progress fueled by community members.
A LINGUASTRUCTURAL STUDY OF PROVERBS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

description: Proverbs are concise, traditional sayings that reflect the wisdom and values of a culture. This article presents a linguastructural study of proverbs in English and Uzbek, analyzing their syntactic and structural patterns. By examining the grammatical construction, phrase structure, and morphosyntactic elements of proverbs, this study aims to uncover the commonalities and differences in how each language encodes meaning through structure. The analysis reveals that both languages favor compact, rhythmic expressions but differ significantly in morphological complexity and syntactic formation. The study concludes that proverbs are not only linguistic artifacts but also cultural mirrors, with structure playing a crucial role in shaping their interpretative potential.

description: While services such as Amazon AWS make computing power abundantly available, adding more computing nodes can incur high costs in, for instance, pay-as-you-go plans while not always significantly improving the net running time (aka wall-clock time) of queries. In this work, we provide algorithms for parallel evaluation of SGF queries in MapReduce that optimize total time, while retaining low net time. Not only can SGF queries specify all semi-join reducers, but also more expressive queries involving disjunction and negation. Since SGF queries can be seen as Boolean combinations of (potentially nested) semi-joins, we introduce a novel multi-semi-join (MSJ) MapReduce operator that enables the evaluation of a set of semi-joins in one job. We use this operator to obtain parallel query plans for SGF queries that outvalue sequential plans w.r.t. net time and provide additional optimizations aimed at minimizing total time without severely affecting net time. Even though the latter optimizations are NP-hard, we present effective greedy algorithms. Our experiments, conducted using our own implementation Gumbo on top of Hadoop, confirm the usefulness of parallel query plans, and the effectiveness and scalability of our optimizations, all with a significant improvement over Pig and Hive.

description: Project Plank Road gets its title from the name of the road that runs through Chancellorsville Battlefield, Plank Rd. Although the Battle of Chancellorsville is the bloodiest battlefield in the state of Virginia, and one of the most important battles of the American Civil War, the Battle of Manassas is much more well known, even by Virginia natives. Chancellorsville was not only the deadliest Virginia battle, but also a perfect example of the full might and threat of the Confederate Army, and resulted in the mortal wounding of one of the South’s greatest military leaders, “Stonewall” Jackson.

description: This presentation was given by Geert Verhoeven during Session A of the goINDIGO 2022 international graffiti symposium. Project INDIGO wants to ensure the digital survival of a large part of Vienna's graffiti-scape by creating a long-term, accurate, exhaustive, open access and interactive online archive. The digital photographs of graffiti constitute one of the archive's main backbones. Not only do they represent the spectral and spatial data about every graffito, but they are also used to extract the three-dimensional surface geometry needed to turn these photographs into colour-accurate, distortion-free orthophotographs. That is why INDIGO photographs are taken according to specific rules and with dedicated hardware.
 This talk will explain the rationale of INDIGO's photographic approach and detail the entire photo acquisition process: from the logistics for the bi-annual total coverage surveys (targeting the whole research area) to the camera settings and newly developed hardware for the bi-weekly photo tours (aiming to record new graffiti). The presentation will expand on INDIGO's current reliance on human memory and social media combined with specific apps to keep track of must-record changes in the graffiti-scape. However, the talk also reviews plans for a more automated change detection approach.
 Overall, this contribution wants to clarify that photographs, whether of graffiti or any other form of cultural heritage, typically serve a specific purpose. To reach that purpose, photographs should usually be more than mere snapshots. Via this talk's focus on INDIGO-specific photography strategies and hardware, the INDIGO team hopes to get critical feedback, valuable suggestions and collaboration proposals. These would benefit everybody involved and ideally lead to the joint development of more dedicated photo acquisition workflows for any cultural heritage recording or monitoring project.
