description: Recent successful lasing of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) in the hard x-ray regime and the experimental demonstration of a possibility to produce low-charge bunches with ultra-small normalized emittance have lead to the discussions on optimistic scenarios of operation of the European XFEL. In this paper we consider new options that make use of low-emittance beams, a relatively high beam energy, tunable-gap undulators, and a multi-bunch capability of this facility. We study the possibility of operation of a spontaneous radiator (combining two of them, U1 and U2, in one beamline) in the SASE mode in the designed photon energy range 20-90 keV and show that it becomes possible with ultra-low emittance electron beams similar to those generated in LCLS. As an additional attractive option we consider the generation of powerful soft x-ray and VUV radiation by the same electron bunch for pump-probe experiments, making use of recently invented compact afterburner scheme. We also propose a betatron switcher as a simple, cheap, and robust solution for multi-color operation of SASE1 and SASE2 undulators, allowing to generate 2 to 5 x-ray beams of different independent colors from each of these undulators for simultaneous multi-user operation. We describe a scheme for pump-probe experiments, based on a production of two different colors by two closely spaced electron bunches (produced in photoinjector) with the help of a very fast betatron switcher. Finally, we discuss how without significant modifications of the layout the European XFEL can become a unique facility that continuously covers with powerful, coherent radiation a part of the electromagnetic spectrum from far infrared to gamma-rays.

description: We prove that $IHS_A$, the theory of infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces equipped with a generic automorphism, is $\aleph_0$-stable up to perturbation of the automorphism, and admits prime models up to perturbation over any set. Similarly, $APr_A$, the theory of atomless probability algebras equipped with a generic automorphism is $\aleph_0$-stable up to perturbation. However, not allowing perturbation it is not even superstable.

Discontinuous Dynamical Systems: A tutorial on solutions, nonsmooth analysis, and stability

description: This paper considers discontinuous dynamical systems, i.e., systems whose associated vector field is a discontinuous function of the state. Discontinuous dynamical systems arise in a large number of applications, including optimal control, nonsmooth mechanics, and robotic manipulation. Independently of the particular application, one always faces similar questions when dealing with discontinuous dynamical systems. The most basic one is the notion of solution. We begin by introducing the notions of Caratheodory, Filippov and sample-and-hold solutions, discuss existence and uniqueness results for them, and examine various examples. We also give specific pointers to other notions of solution defined in the literature. Once the notion of solution has been settled, we turn our attention to the analysis of stability of discontinuous systems. We introduce the concepts of generalized gradient of locally Lipschitz functions and proximal subdifferential of lower semicontinuous functions. Building on these notions, we establish monotonic properties of candidate Lyapunov functions along the solutions. These results are key in providing suitable generalizations of Lyapunov stability theorems and the LaSalle Invariance Principle. We illustrate the applicability of these results in a class of nonsmooth gradient flows.
Optical properties of potassium iodide in the far-infrared
Creators: name: Kembry, Kenneth Allen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Measurements and calculations of the far-infrared optical properties of K ³⁹I at 300, 77, and 12*K are presented. The measurements are mainly those of absorption in crystals of various thicknesses. The calculation assumed cubic anharmonicity only, with nearest-neighbour coupling, and the input lattice-dynamlcal data were obtained from a shell-model program. These data were generated with a wave vector density of 32000 points per zone, which, was sufficient to give 2-3 cm⁻¹ resolution. The over-all agreement between experiment and theory, in both: the intensity and structure of the spectra, is good. The magnitude of certain calculated features is, however, too large, indicating a need to consider next-nearest-neighbour interactions. Evidence was also found for three-phonon damping, both beyond the two-phonon limit at all temperatures and at J[sub o] by 300°K. From these measurements it was possible to calculate portions of the three-phonon damping spectra, which were found to be reasonable. The higher-phonon effects at 300°K did not seem to be noticeably more pronounced than those found in the much harder LiF, and arguments are presented to understand this. Finally, the isotope-induced one-phonon processes which occur in natural KI were calculated. These are shown to be small away from the resonance frequency v, and not to be the major damping mechanism at V[sub e] at low, temperatures^ in contrast to Lif.
Thixotropy, non-monotonic stress relaxation, and the second law of thermodynamics

description: Many thixo-viscoelastic materials have been reported to undergo enhancement in elastic modulus with time and decrease in the same under application of deformation field. Incorporation of this feature in a viscoelastic structural kinetic model has an apparent possibility of violating the second law of thermodynamics. Furthermore, in a related experimental observation, stress has been reported to undergo a non-monotonic change as a function of time under the application of constant strain. We analyze both these scenarios through a structural kinetic model that shows viscoelastic aging but undergoes rejuvenation only due to the viscous rate of strain. We observe that such formalism does not violate the second law. Interestingly, the proposed simple formalism predicts the experimental observation of the non-monotonic stress relaxation very well.

description: The article reflects on Aristotle’s Poetics, 4.1448 b4-19. It examines how the definition of man as a mimetic animal (b5-9) is underestimated in educational praxis, and then, according to Aristotle, points to mimesis as the core of the understanding/learning processes. Arguing a revaluation of mimesis as necessary to educational praxis, the article presents a project delivered through this principle in a multi-ethnic school context.

Towards improvements in radiographic growth measurement of long leg bones in children
Creators: name: Hassanein, Ossama Rashad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The problem of determining and correcting measurement errors in radiological estimates of the bone lengths and differential growth of children's legs is discussed. Sources of possible measurement error are first classified as being physiological, psychophysical, or psychological. The extent of the contribution of each of the identified sources of error to the overall measurement error is then estimated by experiments using a bone phantom and specially constructed test fixtures. Procedures are specified for reducing significant contributors to the overall error. In particular, the problem of radiolucency of bone cartilage is treated by combining a mammographic x-ray technique with computer processing of the radiogram. Also, suggestions are made as to how to reduce the human error. A description of the special purpose scanning system built for use in the computer processing studies is included. The scanning system offers the unique advantage of digitizing an 11 by 11 inch radiogram, or smaller subsections, with virtually any prespecified resolution.
La difesa della donna ebrea: Sara Copio Sullam e Debora Ascarelli

Subjects: Letteratura ebraica in Italia; Roma; Venezia; Sara Copio Sullam; Debora Ascarelli; Seicento

description: Sara Copio Sullam and Debora Ascarelli, the best-known Jewish women poets of the age of the Italian ghetto, have often been studied with a focus on the distinctive features of their writing: the former as a translator of sacred texts, the latter as the author of original verses, sometimes written as a risposta per le rime (reply through rhymes) or in defence of her orthodoxy. They share, however, a common theme, which has often been neglected: the defence of the Jewish woman, which is overt in some of Copio’s sonnets and prose, whereas it has not yet been properly pointed out in some of Ascarelli’s verses. This paper aims at bringing this theme to the fore not only in Copio, through a rereading of some passages of her Manifesto, but also in Debora Ascarelli, through an analysis of her few original verses. These hendecasyllables certainly reflect the Petrarchan and classicistic atmosphere of the late 16th century in Rome, but they are far from the mainstream modes of women’s poetry of the age. They allow us, therefore, to highlight, besides the differences, the similarities between the two poetesses; their commitment, in the late 16th and early 17th century, to the intellectual and moral defence of the Jewish woman, in a context of general depreciation of women, but also in the background of the claim to the “nobility and excellence of women”.

description: NaAlSi is a quasi-two-dimensional semimetal with superconductivity below Tc = 6.8 K and a band structure characterized by nodal lines near the Fermi level and potential topological surface states. Electrical resistivity measurements on its superconducting transitions in magnetic fields were made using plate-like single crystals. In the magnetic field-temperature phase diagram, we observed a substantial reduction in resistivity in a pre-transitional zone above the bulk superconducting regime only when the magnetic fields were perpendicular to the plane, rather than parallel to it. Significant sample (thickness) dependence, reentrant behavior, and sensitivity to electrode configurations all indicate that a portion of the crystal has an upper critical field greater than the bulk superconductivity in the pre-transitional region. This fractional superconductivity may occur on the side surface of the crystal.

description: This paper compares the performance of adaptive and robust Kalman filter algorithms in improving wheel-inertial odometry on low featured rough terrain. Approaches include classical adaptive and robust methods as well as variational methods, which are evaluated experimentally on a wheeled rover in terrain similar to what would be encountered in planetary exploration. Variational filters show improved solution accuracy compared to the classical adaptive filters and are able to handle erroneous wheel odometry measurements and keep good localization for longer distances without significant drift. We also show how varying the parameters affects localization performance.

description: In this paper, we examine the use of multi-lingual sentence embeddings to transfer predictive models for functional segmentation of adjudicatory decisions across jurisdictions, legal systems (common and civil law), languages, and domains (i.e. contexts). Mechanisms for utilizing linguistic resources outside of their original context have significant potential benefits in AI & Law because differences between legal systems, languages, or traditions often block wider adoption of research outcomes. We analyze the use of Language-Agnostic Sentence Representations in sequence labeling models using Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) that are transferable across languages. To investigate transfer between different contexts we developed an annotation scheme for functional segmentation of adjudicatory decisions. We found that models generalize beyond the contexts on which they were trained (e.g., a model trained on administrative decisions from the US can be applied to criminal law decisions from Italy). Further, we found that training the models on multiple contexts increases robustness and improves overall performance when evaluating on previously unseen contexts. Finally, we found that pooling the training data from all the contexts enhances the models' in-context performance.

Finite temperature Casimir pistons for electromagnetic field with mixed boundary conditions and its classical limit
Creators: name: Teo, L. P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, the finite temperature Casimir force acting on a two-dimensional Casimir piston due to electromagnetic field is computed. It was found that if mixed boundary conditions are assumed on the piston and its opposite wall, then the Casimir force always tends to restore the piston towards the equilibrium position, regardless of the boundary conditions assumed on the walls transverse to the piston. In contrary, if pure boundary conditions are assumed on the piston and the opposite wall, then the Casimir force always tend to pull the piston towards the closer wall and away from the equilibrium position. The nature of the force is not affected by temperature. However, in the high temperature regime, the magnitude of the Casimir force grows linearly with respect to temperature. This shows that the Casimir effect has a classical limit as has been observed in other literatures.

Revealing the pure confinement effect in glass-forming liquids by dynamic mechanical analysis

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Many molecular glass forming liquids show a shift of the glass transition Tg to lower temperatures when the liquid is confined into mesoporous host matrices. Two contrary explanations for this effect are given in literature: First, confinement induced acceleration of the dynamics of the molecules leads to an effective downshift of Tg increasing with decreasing pore size. Secondly, due to thermal mismatch between the liquid and the surrounding host matrix, negative pressure develops inside the pores with decreasing temperature, which also shifts Tg to lower temperatures. Here we present novel dynamic mechanical analysis measurements of the glass forming liquid salol in Vycor and Gelsil with pore sizes of d = 2.6, 5.0 and 7.5 nm. The dynamic complex elastic susceptibility data can be consistently described with the assumption of two relaxation processes inside the pores: A surface induced slowed down relaxation due to interaction with rough pore interfaces and a second relaxation within the core of the pores. This core relaxation time is reduced with decreasing pore size d, leading to a downshift of Tg in perfect agreement with recent DSC measurements.

description: The diverse near-Earth radiation environment due to cosmic rays and solar radiation has direct impact on human civilization. In the present and upcoming era of increasing air transfer, it is important to have precise idea of radiation dose effects on human body during air travel. Here, we calculate the radiation dose on the human body at the aviation altitude, also considering the shielding effect of the aircraft structure, using Monte Carlo simulation technique based on Geant4 toolkit. We consider proper 3D mathematical model of the atmosphere and geomagnetic field, updated profile of the incoming particle flux due to cosmic rays and appropriate physics processes. We use quasi-realistic computational phantoms to replicate the human body (male/female) for the effective dose calculation and develop a simplified mathematical model of the aircraft (taking Boeing 777--200LR as reference) for the shielding study. We simulate the radiation environment at the flying altitude (considering geomagnetic latitude in the range of 45-50$^{\circ}$), as well as at various locations inside the fuselage of the aircraft. Then, we calculate the dose rates in the different organs for both male and female phantoms, based on latest recommendations of International Commission on Radio logical Protection. This calculation shows that the sex-averaged effective dose rate in human phantom is 5.46 $μ$Sv/h, whereas, if we calculate weighted sum of equivalent dose contributions separately in female and male body: total weighted sum of equivalent dose rate received by the female phantom is 5.72 $μ$Sv/h and that by the male phantom is 5.20 $μ$Sv/h. From the simulation, we also calculate the numerous cosmogenic radionuclides produced inside the phantoms through activation or spallation processes which may induce long-term biological effects.

description: The topological properties of massive and massless fermionic quasiparticles have been intensively investigated over the past decade in topological materials without magnetism. Recently, the bosonic analogs of such quasiparticles arising from spin waves have been reported in the two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattice ferromagnet/antiferromagnet and the 3D antiferromagnet. Here we use time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering to study spin waves of the S = 1 honeycomb lattice antiferromagnet BaNi2(AsO4)2, which has a zig-zag antiferromagnetic (AF) ground state identical to that of the Kitaev quantum spin liquid candidate alpha-RuCl3. We determine the magnetic exchange interactions in the zig-zag AF ordered phase, and show that spin waves in BaNi2(AsO4)2 have symmetry-protected Dirac points inside the Brillouin zone boundary. These results provide a microscopic understanding of the zig-zag AF order and associated Dirac magnons in honeycomb lattice magnets, and are also important for establishing the magnetic interactions in Kitaev quantum spin liquid candidates.
Conversational computer terminals in psychological testing
Creators: name: Longbottom, Ronald Arthur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The concept of CCTT (conversational computer terminal testing) is investigated as a practical and advantageous solution to the problem of administrating a statistically-complex testing model, which will minimize the time losses and delays of conventional psychological testing. In the process of personnel selection, larger organizations often invite certain of their applicants to undergo psychological testing. This usually involves inconvenience for the applicant, additional expense for the organization, and time losses for both. The testing procedure will typically be of a fixed treatment, group testing nature whereas for many applicants an adaptive testing procedure would be more appropriate. Although testing mechanisms for adaptive treatments exist, they tend to be awkward and limited. More sophisticated theoretical models have been developed but tend to lack appropriate means of administration. In this investigation a Fortran IV CCTT probability/sequential model is developed and comparisons are made between CCTT and conventional test administration of verbal and numerical analogy tests to 180 subjects. The CCTT model presents an applicant with a test item, scores the response, and statistically computes and predicts group membership within pre-definable accuracy levels. The three possible classifications and associated treatments are : high scorer, administer next test; low scorer, terminate testing; unclassified, continue present test. Findings of the investigation indicate that there are no significant differences in overall test scores between the two methods of test administration. The CCTT model is able to classify individuals with an accuracy level exceeding $0% on bo verbal and numerical tests after only 25% of the test items have been administered, with a resultant reduction in testing time of 65%. Additionally, CCTT offers the benefits of individualized demand testing, automatic scoring and recording, complex and tailored decision branching, and immediate interpretation of results. Suggestions for further research in this and associated areas are provided.

description: Remains of the fossil aardvark Amphiorycteropus gaudryi (Orycteropodidae, Tubulidentata) from the late Miocene locality of Kerassia in Greece are here described and compared with material of other orycteropodid species. The studied material includes a partially preserved skull, two mandibular fragments, two lumbar vertebrae, the first rather complete sacrum of the species and some appendicular skeletal remains. The new material reveals noteworthy information on the diagnostic characteristics of the species, such as the variable morphology of the foramen magnum. Furthermore, we comment on some ecomorphological features associated with the fossorial habits of A. gaudryi and discuss its tail length. Lastly, the biogeographical distribution of the species is examined. Emphasis is given to its noticeable absence in the classical locality of Pikermi (Attica) and its presence on Samos Island, at a slightly younger age. In Kerassia, A. gaudryi does not occur in the lower fossiliferous horizon, but only in the stratigraphically younger, upper horizon. Since A. gaudryi is known from MN11 to MN13, its exclusive occurrence in the upper fossiliferous horizon of Kerassia could be connected to spatial and temporal environmental changes of the Eastern Mediterranean during the late Miocene.

Experiments with this approach show that its effectiveness can be further improved by introducing a resource concept. In this paper we provide an abstract view on the overall mechanism, motivate the necessity of an appropriate resource concept and discuss its realization within the agent architecture.

description: This autobiographical novel is analyzed as a novel typical of the second-generation of mizrahi writers , characterized by a particular relationship, marked by close ties with the tradition - represented by the generation of mothers and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers - and with memory and that differentiates them from ashkenazim. These narratives leave a lot of space to autobiography and fill the silence that has occurred in the post-migration period, similarities that can also be found among the Jewish writers of the second generation originating from Algeria and emograted to France.

description: Problemstellung: Moralischer Stress in der Pflege belastet den Einzelnen und hat gravierende Folgen. Gegenmaßnahmen finden allerdings augenblicklich kaum statt. Ethische Kompetenz, als relevanter Bestandteil professioneller Pflegehandlungen, kann zudem weder in der Pflegeschule noch in der -praxis ausreichend vorgefunden werden. Ein Ethik-Portfolio für die Pflegeausbildung könnte einen Lösungsansatz darstellen, jedoch finden sich in der Literatur keine konkreten Gestaltungsvorschläge. Fragestellung: Ziel der Thesis ist es hervorzubringen, wie ein Ethik-Portfolio für die generalistische Pflegeausbildung gestaltet werden kann. Theoretischer Rahmen: Nachdem Begriffe der Ethik geklärt und die Ergebnisse der vorangegangenen Bachelorarbeit zusammengefasst wurden, werden die drei Säulen des Ethik-Portfolios dargestellt: Moral Distress, ethische Reflexion und Portfolioarbeit. Der theoretische Rahmen basiert auf einer systematischen Literaturrecherche in Fachdatenbanken. Methodik: Das methodische Vorgehen lehnt sich an die Fachrichtung der gestaltungsorientierten Bildungsforschung an, wonach verschiedene wissenschaftliche Methoden kombiniert werden. Die kriteriengeleitete Konzeptentwicklung wird durch eine qualitative Datenerhebung und -analyse in Form eines Fokusgruppeninterviews zur Bedarfserhebung ergänzt. Ergebnisse: Die Ergebnisse des empirischen Teils können in fünf Hauptkategorien geclustert werden: (1) Grundidee, (2) Moralischer Disstress, (3) Bedarf, (4) Dokumentation und (5) Fallbesprechung. Im konzeptionellen Teil wird ein Gestaltungsvorschlag zum Ethik-Portfolio vorgestellt. Conclusio: Es lässt sich sagen, dass ein Ethik-Portfolio für die Pflegeausbildung denkbar und sinnvoll sein kann, diese Annahme aber auf einer theoretischen Auseinandersetzung basiert. Das Konzept muss getestet und evaluiert werden, bevor sichere Schlüsse gezogen werden können.
Isospin corrections for superallowed Fermi beta decay in self-consistent relativistic random phase approximation approaches

description: Self-consistent random phase approximation (RPA) approaches in the relativistic framework are applied to calculate the isospin symmetry-breaking corrections $δ_c$ for the $0^+\to0^+$ superallowed transitions. It is found that the corrections $δ_c$ are sensitive to the proper treatments of the Coulomb mean field, but not so much to specific effective interactions. With these corrections $δ_c$, the nucleus-independent $\mathcal{F}t$ values are obtained in combination with the experimental $ft$ values in the most recent survey and the improved radiative corrections. It is found that the constancy of the $\mathcal{F}t$ values is satisfied for all effective interactions employed. Furthermore, the element $V_{ud}$ and unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix are discussed.

description: We report on the potential use of the intrinsic ferromagnetic rare earth nitride (REN) semiconductors as ferromagnetic electrodes in tunnelling magnetoresistance and giant magnetoresistance device structures for non-volatile memory storage devices. Non-volatile memory elements utilising magnetic materials have been an industry standard for decades. However, the typical metallic ferromagnets and dilute magnetic semiconductors used lack the ability to independently tune the magnetic and electronic properties. In this regard, the rare earth nitride series offer an ultimately tuneable group of materials. Here we have fabricated two tri-layer structures using intrinsically ferromagnetic rare earth nitride semiconductors as the ferromagnetic layers. We have demonstrated both a non-volatile magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) and an in-plane conduction device using GdN and DyN as the ferromagnetic layers, with a maximum difference in resistive states of ∼1.2% at zero-field. GdN and DyN layers were shown to be sufficiently decoupled and individual magnetic transitions were observed for each ferromagnetic layer.

description: Additional file 1. Farm and Ranch Health and Safety Survey. The Farm and Ranch Health and Safety Survey was created by the author, Rautiainen, for purposes of surveillance. Survey form mailed to a stratified (by state, 7 US states) random sample of farm and ranch operators with a postage paid return envelope, with one repeat to non-respondents. The survey form requested information for up to three operators (farmers and ranchers and family members participating in the operation of the agricultural enterprise) on injuries, chronic health conditions, work exposures, and protective practices. Additional variables were merged on the operation level regarding crop and livestock production from the Farm Market iD database (private company specializing in providing agricultural production data)
Development of a single-molecule force spectroscopy technique for the characterization of protein-carbohydrate dissociation forces

description: Protein-carbohydrate interactions play a crucial role in all forms of life. Such interactions regulate cellular processes, initiate viral infection of host cells, indicate cancer development, or enable us to obtain energy from the food we ingest. Due to the structural diversity of carbohydrates, a countless number of proteins exist that synthesize, modify, or break down these unique biopolymers. Most binding interactions involve multiple protein residues that stabilize the carbohydrate and form a multivalent protein-substrate complex. Despite knowledge about the function of many proteins, a detailed mechanistic understanding of the interplay between protein and carbohydrates is still lacking. Bulk-ensemble methods to probe protein-carbohydrate binding mask individual proteins contributions. Single molecule methods can identify the interactions between individual proteins and the carbohydrate, thus providing a deeper insight into molecular-level interactions. The goal of this work is to establish acoustic force spectroscopy (AFS) as a routine method to characterize protein-carbohydrate bonds at the single molecule level. The first part of the work focuses on developing a method to measure protein-carbohydrate binding forces from cellulose. Results show distinct rupture force profiles for wild type and mutant protein, supporting the hypothesis of different binding orientations. A novel solid-state depletion assay using site-specifically immobilized, soluble carbohydrates, is developed. The results of this assay shed light on the question about carbohydrate orientation inside the binding pocket for the first time. Further, the AFS is used to measure dissociation forces of micrometer-sized beads functionalized with carbohydrate binding proteins. Such beads serve as model systems to investigate receptor-glycan avidity effects with potential applications in drug development and target identification. Finally, a microfluidic flow control system is integrated with the AFS to enable the collection of fractions of proteins based on their rupture force. Overall, this work demonstrates the feasibility of AFS as a single-molecule force spectroscopy method to study protein-carbohydrate interactions, while expanding the capabilities of the AFS for new applications such as force-assisted separation.

description: We introduce a new definition for the species of type B, or H-species, analog to the classical species (of type A), but on which we consider the action of the groups Bn of signed permutations. We are interested in algebraic structure on these H-species and give examples of Hopf monoids. The natural way to get a graded vector space from a species, given in this paper in terms of functors, will allow us to deepen our understanding of these species. In particular, the image of the classical species of set compositions under a given functor is isomorphic to the combinatorial Hopf algebra DQSym.
