title: Child-Meaningful Learning In Two Nursery Settings
Creators: name: Hubbard, Nicholas P.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: This study examines the nature of the provision for a group of bilingual Asian children on entry to and during their time in two nursery settings in a town in the South Midlands. The research explores two themes. The first is the degree to which, in the context of early years practice, the curriculum in each setting provided relevant and developmental experiences for their bilingual children. The second is the extent of the knowledge and understanding amongst educators of issues related to planning for cultural and language diversity in their schools. The study included interviews with educators and parents as well as observations in the classroom. Chapter One sets out the origins of the research, my reasons for embarking on it and its significance in relation to other research in this field. Chapter Two discusses the ethnographic methodology employed in the research, and how the study was established and conducted. Chapter Three examines the theoretical standpoint on which the dissertation is based, including theories of play, cultural and language diversity, and collaborative teaching and learning. Chapter Four examines the parents’ views and experiences in relation to their informal education of their children at home, and the cultural tensions arising from their and their children’s engagement with the nurseries. By means of interviews with educators and observations in the classroom Chapter Five provides a critique of the educators’ policies, views and practices in relation to their provision for their bilingual learners. Chapter 6 summarises the findings of the research in relation to early years practice, provision for cultural and language diversity, and parental involvement in the settings As a result recommendations for developments in policy and practice arc made to the schools. Chapter Six also examines the discussions which took place with the schools as a result of those recommendations.
On Taking the $D\to 4$ limit of Gauss-Bonnet Gravity: Theory and Solutions

description: We comment on the recently introduced Gauss-Bonnet gravity in four dimensions. We argue that it does not make sense to consider this theory to be defined by a set of $D\to 4$ solutions of the higher-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We show that a well-defined $D\to 4$ limit of Gauss-Bonnet Gravity is obtained generalizing a method employed by Mann and Ross to obtain a limit of the Einstein gravity in $D=2$ dimensions. This is a scalar-tensor theory of the Horndeski type obtained by a dimensional reduction methods. By considering simple spacetimes beyond spherical symmetry (Taub-NUT spaces) we show that the naive limit of the higher-dimensional theory to four dimensions is not well defined and contrast the resultant metrics with the actual solutions of the new theory.

description: Optical fiber with high numerical aperture (NA) can efficiently relieve the degeneracy of higher order linearly polarized modes. The degeneracy relief is investigated in two types of high NA fibers, i.e., low index cladding fiber and high-index-core fiber. A naked core fiber, as with low index cladding, can be used theoretically to generate the orbital angular momentum mode (OAMM) HE21 and the cylindrically symmetric modes (CSMs) TM01 and TE01. A high index core fiber incorporated with high contrast index structure can be used similarly to obtain OAMM HE31. The generation of both CSMs and OAMMs required tilted optical gratings to couple the fundamental core mode HE11 into these modes. The tilt angle and modulation period of the grating fringes can be calculated simply and visually with the method proposed in this article.

description: Estimating human pose is an important yet challenging task in multimedia applications. Existing pose estimation libraries target reproducing standard pose estimation algorithms. When it comes to customising these algorithms for real-world applications, none of the existing libraries can offer both the flexibility of developing custom pose estimation algorithms and the high-performance of executing these algorithms on commodity devices. In this paper, we introduce Hyperpose, a novel flexible and high-performance pose estimation library. Hyperpose provides expressive Python APIs that enable developers to easily customise pose estimation algorithms for their applications. It further provides a model inference engine highly optimised for real-time pose estimation. This engine can dynamically dispatch carefully designed pose estimation tasks to CPUs and GPUs, thus automatically achieving high utilisation of hardware resources irrespective of deployment environments. Extensive evaluation results show that Hyperpose can achieve up to 3.1x~7.3x higher pose estimation throughput compared to state-of-the-art pose estimation libraries without compromising estimation accuracy. By 2021, Hyperpose has received over 1000 stars on GitHub and attracted users from both industry and academy.

description: In this paper we discuss the bihamiltonian formulation of the (rational XXX) Gaudin models of spin-spin interaction, generalized to the case of sl(r)-valued spins. In particular, we focus on the homogeneous models. We find a pencil of Poisson brackets that recursively define a complete set of integrals of the motion, alternative to the set of integrals associated with the 'standard' Lax representation of the Gaudin model. These integrals, in the case of su(2), coincide wih the Hamiltonians of the 'bending flows' in the moduli space of polygons in Euclidean space introduced by Kapovich and Millson. We finally address the problem of separability of these flows and explicitly find separation coordinates and separation relations for the r=2 case.

description: The Sagittarius B2 (Sgr B2) molecular cloud complex is an X-ray reflection nebula whose total emissions have continued to decrease since 2001 as it reprocesses one or more past energetic outbursts from the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*. The X-ray reflection model explains the observed time variability and provides a window into the luminous evolutionary history of our nearest supermassive black hole. In light of evidence of elevated cosmic particle populations in the Galactic Center, X-rays from Sgr B2 are also of interest as a probe of low-energy (sub-GeV) cosmic rays, which may be responsible for an increasing relative fraction of the nonthermal X-ray emission as the contribution from X-ray reflection decreases. Here, we present the most recent deep NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observations of Sgr B2, from 2018. These reveal small-scale variations within lower-density portions of the complex, including brightening features, yet still enable upper limits on X-rays from low-energy cosmic particle interactions in Sgr B2. We present Fe K$α$ fluxes from cloud regions of different densities, facilitating comparison with models of ambient LECR interactions throughout the cloud.

description: We report on an attempt to reproduce the observation of $β^-$-delayed proton emission from $^{11}$Be through detection of the final state nucleus $^{10}$Be with accelerator mass spectrometry. Twelve samples were collected at the ISOLDE facility at CERN at different separator settings, allowing tests of different sources of contamination to be carried out. The observed amounts of $^{10}$Be per collected $^{11}$Be rule out several contamination sources, but do not agree internally. Formation of BeH molecular ions in the ion source may explain our data, in which case an upper limit of the $β$p branching ratio of $2.2 \cdot 10^{-6}$ can be derived.

description: The analytical bounce solution is derived in terms of the polygamma function in the Caldeira-Leggett's dissipative quantum tunneling model. The classical action for the bounce solution lies between the upper and lower bounds in the full range of $α$, where $α$ is a dissipation coefficient. The bounce peak point increases from 1 to 4/3 with increase of $α$. In spite of various nice features we have shown that the solution we have derived is not exact one by making use of the zero mode argument in the linearized fluctuation equation. However, our solution can be a starting point for approximate computation of the prefactor in this model.

description: We report long-termed UBVRIRcIc photometry of the highly eccentric 12.04 day detached eclipsing binary V490 Sct (V =13.1, B9.5+A0, e = 0.40), which we use to determine its relative and absolute parameters. The absolute masses, radii, and temperatures are Ma = 2.33+/-0.1 Msun, Ra = 1.91+/-0.04 Rsun, and Ta = 9960+/-60 K for the primary and Mb = 2.24+/-0.1 Msun, Rb = 1.86+/-0.04 Rsun, and Tb = 9700+/-80 K for the secondary. The system displays a slow periastron advance that is dominated by general relativity (GR). Our measurement, dw/dt = 0.86 deg/century, is 32% less then the expected rate, dw/dt = 1.24 deg/century, which has an 83% contribution from GR. A comparison with current stellar evolution models shows a good match to the measured properties at an age of about 130 mln. years and Solar abundance. The photometrical parallax of the system pi = 0.77 +/- 0.02 mas, matches quite well the GAIA DR2 value, pi = 0.76 +/- 0.04 mas.

title: Modelling winning performance in invasive team games
Creators: name: Potter, Gareth Wyn
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: This study reports a four-year investigation into winning performance in invasive team games. The aims of the study were; to identify patterns of winning performance in two invasive team games (Aim 1); and to propose a generic model of winning performance in these games (Aim 2). Four research questions were derived from these aims: Can data gathered by real-time notation systems be used to develop a model for coaches and performers of winning performance?; Do winning teams in rugby union or association football exhibit any observable patterns of behaviour?; Is it possible to profile performances of winning teams in invasive games as an ‘ideal type’?; Is it possible to construct a predictive model of winning performance in invasive team games? Data were collected by real-time hand and computer notation systems from 105 international fixtures (52 rugby union games and 53 association football games). The systems used underwent rigorous validity and reliability checks and were found to be valid and reliable research instruments. Data from the two sports were subjected to thirty investigations (16 for rugby union and 14 for association football) in order to identify patterns of winning behaviour. This behaviour was then presented as an ideal type model of winning in rugby union and association football. Whilst it was acknowledged that within-game and within-sport differences rendered the modelling of performance difficult, it was proposed that some extraneous factors, some key performance areas and some scoring characteristics could be combined to provide an ideal type of winning. A limited, generic model of winning in an invasive game was also proposed. It is concluded that an ideal type model sensitive to quantitative and qualitative data can be constructed for winning performance. It is noted that the spirit of ideal type modelling is sensitive to the dynamic interplay of structural components of games playing and individual action and virtuosity. Directions for future research are identified.

description: In an earlier paper, we showed that the causal boundary of any homogeneous plane wave satisfying the null convergence condition consists of a single null curve. In Einstein-Hilbert gravity, this would include any homogeneous plane wave satisfying the weak null energy condition. For conformally flat plane waves such as the Penrose limit of $AdS_5 \times S^5$, all spacelike curves that reach infinity also end on this boundary and the completion is Hausdorff. However, the more generic case (including, e.g., the Penrose limits of $AdS_4 \times S^7$ and $AdS_7 \times S^4$) is more complicated. In one natural topology, not all spacelike curves have limit points in the causal completion, indicating the need to introduce additional points at `spacelike infinity'--the endpoints of spacelike curves. We classify the distinct ways in which spacelike curves can approach infinity, finding a {\it two}-dimensional set of distinct limits. The dimensionality of the set of points at spacelike infinity is not, however, fixed from this argument. In an alternative topology, the causal completion is already compact, but the completion is non-Hausdorff.

Capturing Subdiffusive Solute Dynamics and Predicting Selectivity in Nanoscale Pores with Time Series Modeling

description: Mathematically modeling complex transport phenomena at the molecular level can be a powerful tool for identifying transport mechanisms and predicting macroscopic properties. We use two different stochastic time series models, parameterized from long molecular dynamics (MD) simulation trajectories of a cross-linked HII phase lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) membrane, in order to predict solute mean squared displacements (MSDs) and solute flux, and thus solute selectivity, in macroscopic length pores. First, using anomalous diffusion theory, we show how solute dynamics can be modeled as a fractional diffusion process subordinate to a continuous time random walk. From the MD simulations, we parameterize the distribution of dwell times, hop lengths between dwells and correlation between hops. We explore two variations of the anomalous diffusion modeling approach. The first applies a single set of parameters to the solute displacements and the second applies two sets of parameters based on the solute's radial distance from the closest pore center. Next, we generalize Markov state models, treating the configurational states of the system as a Markov process where each state has distinct transport properties. For each state and transition between states, we parameterize the distribution and temporal correlation structure of positional fluctuations as a means of characterization and to allow us to predict solute MSDs. Qualitative differences between MD and Markov state dependent model-generated trajectories may limit its usefulness. Finally, we demonstrate how one can use these models to estimate flux of a solute across a macroscopic-length pore and, based on those quantities, the membrane's selectivity towards each solute. This work helps to connect microscopic chemically-dependent solute motions that do not follow simple diffusive behavior with macroscopic membrane performance.

description: Prioritized processing of fearful compared to neutral faces is reflected in increased amplitudes of components of the event-related potential (ERP). It is unknown whether specific face parts drive these modulations. Here, we investigated the contributions of face parts on ERPs to task-irrelevant fearful and neutral faces using an ERP-dependent facial decoding technique and a large sample of participants (N = 83). Classical ERP analyses showed typical and robust increases of N170 and EPN amplitudes by fearful relative to neutral faces. Facial decoding further showed that the absolute amplitude of these components, as well as the P1, was driven by the low-frequency contrast of specific face parts. However, the difference between fearful and neutral faces was not driven by any specific face part, as supported by Bayesian statistics. Furthermore, there were no correlations between trait anxiety and main effects or interactions. These results suggest that increased N170 and EPN amplitudes to task-irrelevant fearful compared to neutral faces are not driven by specific facial regions but represent a holistic face processing effect.

description: The evaluation of electrostatic energy for a set of point charges in a periodic lattice is a computationally expensive part of molecular dynamics simulations (and other applications) because of the long-range nature of the Coulomb interaction. A standard approach is to decompose the Coulomb potential into a near part, typically evaluated by direct summation up to a cutoff radius, and a far part, typically evaluated in Fourier space. In practice, all decomposition approaches involve approximations---such as cutting off the near-part direct sum---but it may be possible to find new decompositions with improved tradeoffs between accuracy and performance. Here we present the $\textit{u-series}$, a new decomposition of the Coulomb potential that is more accurate than the standard (Ewald) decomposition for a given amount of computational effort, and achieves the same accuracy as the Ewald decomposition with approximately half the computational effort. These improvements, which we demonstrate numerically using a lipid membrane system, arise because the $\textit{u}$-series is smooth on the entire real axis and exact up to the cutoff radius. Additional performance improvements over the Ewald decomposition may be possible in certain situations because the far part of the $\textit{u}$-series is a sum of Gaussians, and can thus be evaluated using algorithms that require a separable convolution kernel; we describe one such algorithm that reduces communication latency at the expense of communication bandwidth and computation, a tradeoff that may be advantageous on modern massively parallel supercomputers.

description: Despite all other cells that have the potential to prevent cancer development and metastasis through tumour suppressor proteins, cancer cells can upregulate the ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) by which they can degrade tumour suppressor proteins and avoid apoptosis. This system has an extensive role in cell regulation organized in two steps. Each step has an important role in controlling cancer. This demonstrates the importance of understanding the UPS's inhibitors and improving these inhibitors to make new hope in cancer therapy. UPS inhibitors, as less invasive chemo drugs, are increasingly used to alleviate symptoms of various cancers in malignant states. Despite their success in reducing the development rate of cancer with the lowest side effect, thus far, an appropriate inhibitor that can effectively inactivate this system with the least drug resistance has not yet been fully investigated. A fundamental understanding of the system is necessary to better understand this system and its role in causing/controlling cancer. In this review, we first comprehensively investigated this system, and then each step containing ubiquitination and protein degradation as well as their inhibitors are discussed. Ultimately, its advantages and disadvantages and some perspectives for improving the efficiency of these inhibitors are investigated.

description: Observations of high-redshift galaxies ($z >$ 5) have shown that these galaxies have extreme emission lines with equivalent widths much larger than their local star-forming counterparts. Extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs) in the nearby universe are likely analogues to galaxies during the Epoch of Reionization and provide nearby laboratories to understand the physical processes important to the early universe. We use HST/COS and LBT/MODS spectra to study two nearby EELGs, J104457 and J141851. The FUV spectra indicate that these two galaxies contain stellar populations with ages $< \sim$ 10 Myr and metallicities $\leq$ 0.15 Z$_\odot$. We use photoionization modeling to compare emission lines from models of single-age bursts of star-formation to observed emission lines and find that the single-age bursts do not reproduce high-ionization lines including [O III] or very-high ionization lines like He II or [O IV]. Photoionization modeling using the stellar populations fit from the UV continuum similarly are not capable of reproducing the emission lines from the very-high ionization zone. We add a blackbody to the stellar populations fit from the UV continuum to model the necessary high-energy photons to reproduce the very-high ionization lines of He II and [O IV]. We find that we need a blackbody of 80,000 K and $\sim$60-70% of the luminosity from the young stellar population to reproduce the very-high ionization lines while simultaneously reproducing the low- intermediate-, and high-ionization emission lines. Our self-consistent model of the ionizing spectra of two nearby EELGs indicates the presence of a previously unaccounted-for source of hard ionizing photons in reionization analogues.

description: This study forms part of a larger research project investigating the causes for the decline in infant mortality in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in localised areas of England. The work of this study looks at Nuneaton in Warwickshire, a small town greatly dependent upon the ribbon weaving industry in the early nineteenth century, the decline of which affected the development of an improved standard of living in the town. The later growth of the East Warwickshire coal field, and other industries, resulted in the rapid expansion of the town in the last years of the century. Data gathered from the Vaccination Registers and the Return of Infant Deaths enabled an investigation to be made into the families experiencing multiple infant deaths during the period 1881 to 1891. Details from local studies, Board of Health Minutes and two major reports to the Board allowed the effects of the families’ environment to be taken into consideration when assessing the causes of the infant mortality in the Nuneaton Union. These findings were related to the views of the Medical Officer of Health who considered the parents to be responsible for the infant deaths. This study showed that while no one factor could be seen to have caused the decline in infant mortality, improvements in water supplies, sewage disposal, and a gradual improvement in the standard of housing combined with a decrease in fertility were the major factors in the decline in infant mortality in Nuneaton at this period.

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We investigate topography-driven generation of defects in liquid crystals films coating frozen surfaces of spatially varying Gaussian curvature whose topology does not automatically require defects in the ground state. We study in particular disclination-unbinding transitions with increasing aspect ratio for a surface shaped as a Gaussian bump with an hexatic phase draped over it. The instability of a smooth ground state texture to the generation of a single defect is also discussed. Free boundary conditions for a single bump are considered as well as periodic arrays of bumps. Finally, we argue that defects on a bump encircled by an aligning wall undergo sharp deconfinement transitions as the aspect ratio of the surface is lowered.

description: Objective: Crash occurrence prediction has been of major importance in proactively improving traffic safety and reducing potential inconveniences to road users. Conventional statistical crash prediction models frequently suffer from severe data quality issues and require a significant amount of historical data. On the other hand, even though machine learning (ML) based algorithms have proven to be powerful in predicting future outcomes in different fields of applications, they likely fail to provide satisfactory results unless a tuning parameter approach is conducted. The main objective of this article is to develop real-time crash prediction models that will potentially be employed within traffic management systems. Methods: In this study, two highly optimized data-driven models for crash occurrence prediction have been designed based on the popular machine learning techniques, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and deep neural network Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). To ensure that the proposed algorithms produce robust and stable performance, the optimal scheme for models’ construction has been thoroughly examined and discussed. Additionally, the further boost of models’ performance requires the systemic assessment of crash strongest precursors within the driver-vehicle-environment triptych. Therefore, three categories of features, including driver input responses, vehicle kinematics and weather conditions, were measured during the execution of various driving tasks performed on a desktop driving simulator. Moreover, since crash events typically occur in rare instances tending to be underrepresented in the dataset, an imbalance-aware strategy to overcome the issue was adopted using the Synthetic Minority Oversampling TEchnique (SMOTE). Results: The results show that MLP exhibited the best performing prediction results, most particularly, in clear, overcast and snow conditions, in which MLP recall values were above 94%. Higher F1-score values were achieved in overcast and rain weather by MLP and snow conditions by SVM; whereas over 90% of G-mean levels were obtained under fog and rain conditions for MLP and snow condition for SVM. Conclusion: The findings provide new insights into crash events forecasting and may be used to promote enforcement efforts related to designing crash avoidance/warning systems that enhance the effectiveness of the system’s application based on driver input and vehicle kinematics under various weather conditions.

Analysis of the bandwidth of resonant spectra for tilted fiber grating

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Based on coupled mode equations, the formula of null null bandwidth for tilted fiber grating is deduced in this paper. Numerical simulations and theoretical analysis of the effects of the tilt angle on bandwidth and maximum reflectivity are performed. Furthermore, under the maximum reflection of 95%, the relation of bandwidth with modulation amplitude and length of grating, and the needed length of grating are demonstrated in two three dimensional diagrams. It reveals that the grating tilt can obviously narrow the bandwidth, especially in the case of large modulation amplitude and grating length, which is meaningful to its application on optical communication and fiber sensing.

description: The unprecedented rise in power conversion efficiency of solar cells based on metal halide perovskites (MHPs) has led to enormous research effort to understand their photo-physical properties. In this paper, we review the progress in understanding the mobility and recombination of photo-generated charge carriers from nanosecond to microsecond time scales, monitored using electrodeless transient photoconductivity techniques. In addition, we present a kinetic model to obtain rate constants from transient data recorded using a wide range of laser intensities. For various MHPs the temperature dependence of the mobilities and recombination rates are evaluated. Furthermore, we show how these rate constants can be used to predict the upper limit for the open-circuit voltage Voc of the corresponding device. Finally, we discuss photo-physical properties of MHPs that are not yet fully understood, and make recommendations for future research directions.

description: A design method of programmable transmitarray with independent controls of transmission amplitude and phase is proposed in C-band. The unit cell with cascaded structures mainly consists of four parts, including the receiving antenna, reconfigurable attenuator with PIN diodes, reconfigurable phase shifter with varactors and transmitting antenna. Correspondingly, various manipulations of spatial electromagnetic (EM) fields are achieved by varying the bias voltages of PIN diodes and varactors in the transmitarray. The fabricated unit cell is measured in a standard waveguide, and the whole array with 8*8 unit cells is measured with two horns for calibration of the programmable EM features. The experimental results show that the transmission magnitude can range from -16 dB to -3.6 dB and the transmission phase achieves 270-degree coverage independently under the 16-bit programmable control. To further exhibit the capability and functionality of the proposed transmitarray, the waveform engineering of adaptive beamforming and power-allocation beamforming are separately realized in the experiment. The measured results have good agreements with our theoretical calculations, verifying the validity of our design method.
