Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: In spite of the complexity of teaching, learning to teach in universities is generally a matter of experience rather than training (Putnam & Borko, 2000). But in today’s era it is indispensable for the university teachers to get acquainted with “how to teach” component. In accordance with the Higher Education Commission Pakistan’s initiative to give in-service training to university teachers, Department of Education International Islamic University Islamabad had arranged a 03 days professional development workshop on “Demands of Teaching Profession”. A group of 35 faculty members from different departments of the university benefited from it. One month after the workshop the participants were interviewed about their experiences with the workshop and how it benefited them? The theoretical ground of the study was Mezirow’s (2006) Perspective Transformation Theory, according to which learners undergo a conscious recognition of difference between old viewpoint and the new one and value the new gained perspective by transforming the actions. The interviews were analyzed by utilizing thematic approach. The respondents were of the view that when they were being nominated for the workshop they did not had the idea what they need to know about the demands of teaching profession. But after attending the workshop and discussing their teaching worldview with the other participants during group activities of workshop their perspective has been transformed. They are observing professional ethics more consciously. They are trying to follow professional ethics and trying to develop balanced personalities of students. They have tried to transform their practices according to standards.

description: Double anodization of aluminium microwires in an acid bath yields cylindrical nanoporous alumina with nonbranching radially emanating pores. The obtained nanoporous alumina is a cylindrically anisotropic as well as a radially inhomogeneous optical medium. Detailed structural characterization reveals that the nanopore diameter varies linearly with the radius of the aluminium microwire along the radial direction. Microcracks form on the alumina shell during the anodization when sufficient thickness is formed due to volume expansion and stress accumulation. The formation of the microcracks can be monitored by the anodization current which shows sudden jumps when the cracks are formed. After removing the remaining aluminium at the core of the anodised wire the anisotropic and inhomogeneous alumina microtube is obtained. Such nanoporous alumina microtubes form unique optical waveguides and are useful for microscale heat transfer applications.

description: We propose a secure voting protocol for score-based voting rules, where independent talliers perform the tallying procedure. The protocol outputs the winning candidate(s) while preserving the privacy of the voters and the secrecy of the ballots. It offers perfect secrecy, in the sense that apart from the desired output, all other information -- the ballots, intermediate values, and the final scores received by each of the candidates -- is not disclosed to any party, including the talliers. Such perfect secrecy may increase the voters' confidence and, consequently, encourage them to vote according to their true preferences. The protocol is extremely lightweight, and therefore it can be easily deployed in real-life voting scenarios.

description: Tenthredo vespa inaffectata Muche, 1965
A junior subjective synonym of Tenthredo (Tenthredo) vespa Retzius, 1783, syn. nov.
TYPE. Tenthredo vespa inaffectata Muche, 1965a: 242 –243. Holotype, Ƥ (Fig. 22). Type locality: “ Mongolia: Central aimak, 12 km SO v. Ulan-Baator; Nucht i. Bogdo ul; 1500m ”. Examined.
DISCUSSION. Taeger (1988a) already stated that the status of the taxon as a subspecies is uncertain. The characters (e.g., length of hairs and malar space, colour of antennae) fall within the range of variability of the widely distributed species, and cannot be associated with a special geographical area. The paratype 3 was not examined, but the differences in the shape of the penis valves noted by Muche (1965a, figs 4 and 5) seem to fall in the range of variability of vespa, too.

description: Background: Currently, two echocardiographic techniques are used to measure deformation: tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Recently, a technique combining STE and TDI (on TDI overlay images) has become available, allowing derivation of STE/TDI results from a single acquisition/reading (combined-STE/combined-TDI). We tested the feasibility and agreement of this novel technique to measure left ventricular deformation in the general population compared to STE and TDI. Methods: We examined a subsample of 106 consecutive subjects of the Asklepios Study, a population-based random sample of male/female volunteers without overt clinical disease (mean age: 55.9 years). Left ventricular deformation measurements were assessed with transthoracic echocardiography using the combined method, STE and TDI. Results: Almost all deformation parameters significantly differed between all methods. Global systolic longitudinal strain (GS) and strain rate (GSRs) values measured by combined-TDI were significantly higher (GS −17.2% ± 3.0, GSRs −0.9 s−1 ± 0.2) compared to TDI (GS −21.1% ± 2.2, GSRs −1.3 s−1 ± 0.2). Measurements by combined-STE were significantly lower (GS −19.1% ± 2.9, GSRs −1.0 s−1 ± 0.2) compared to STE (GS −18.2% ± 3.0, GSRs −0.9 s−1 ± 0.1). Overall, the smallest differences and highest agreement were observed between STE and combined-STE (GS r = 0.84, p r = 0.70, p Conclusions: The comparison of methods showed different values and poor agreement between the echocardiographic modalities. Regrettably, the combined method does not make it possible to obtain in a single image/measurement results that are comparable to STE and TDI data in the general population.

description: This dissertation examines the architecture of the French, American, and Haitian revolutions as well as the French 1848 Revolution and the Paris Commune. The traditional historiography of neoclassical and Beaux-Arts architecture considers it as coextensive with the establishment of the nation-state, culminating in the institution building of the French Second Empire and postbellum United States under the banner of liberal nationalism. By examining moments of insurrection against the state and spaces outside of the conventional construal of the nation, I complicate this interpretation by highlighting its slippages and crises. My hypothesis is that democracy, as a form of social and political life, is intrinsically anarchic and paradigmatically revolutionary, and that architecture cultivates the aims and paradoxes of revolution. Revolutionary conditions, I argue, render this radical capacity of architecture salient, showing the ultimate incommensurability between architecture and the regimes that determine and delimit it.

State after quantum tunneling with gravity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Wheeler-DeWitt equation is investigated and used to examine a state after a quantum tunneling with gravity. To make arguments definite we treat a discretized version of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation and adopt the WKB method. We expand an Euclidean wave function around an instanton, by using a deviation equation of a vector field tangent to a congruence of instantons. The instanton around which we expand the wave function corresponds to a so-called most probable escape path (MPEP). It is shown that, when the wave function is analytically continued, the corresponding state of physical perturbations is equivalent to the vacuum state determined by positive-frequency mode functions which satisfy appropriate boundary conditions. Thus a quantum field theory is effective to investigate a state after a quantum tunneling with gravity. The effective Lagrangian describing the field theory is obtained by simply reducing the original Lagrangian to a subspace spanned by the physical perturbations. The result of this paper does not depend on the operator ordering and can be applied to all physical perturbations, including gravitational perturbations, around a general MPEP.

description: The Philippines in recent years has been praised for its ability to reverse its fortune. Formerly labeled as the “Sick Man of Asia,” its past economic performance severely lagged behind those of its neighboring countries within the Southeast Asian region. Since 2010 however, under the incumbent Aquino administration, the Philippines has been, and is still being touted as one of the “most promising” countries in the region. Amidst the Philippines’ recent achievements, however, poverty still remains to be quite a pervasive issue. As of 2006, poverty incidence in the whole country was recorded at 26.6 percent. As of 2012, it only slightly decreased by 0.6 points, leaving the current figure at 25.2 percent (National Statistics Coordination Board, 2014). Situating poverty in the urban areas, it could be said that poverty within cities is not as severe as compared to the rest of the Philippines. Despite its low standings, however, its figures have also remained virtually unchanged throughout the years. The contexts presented gives one the idea that not much has been done to alleviate the situation of the urban poor. It seems that the urban poor are still continuously excluded and marginalized within the development schemes of the cities. This thesis will provide a means for marginalized groups, such as the urban poor, to combat the various processes of marginalization, and ultimately, affect the development process of urban areas in such a way that incorporates and reflects their specific issues and concerns. The thesis puts forth the hypothesis that through the political empowerment of marginalized groups, along with the aid of domestic NGOS, marginalized groups, such as the urban poor, can ultimately affect the development process of the city. The thesis will use the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992 in the Philippines as its main case study. Specifically, the thesis will focus on the passage of the said Act, and analyze how crucial the factors of political empowerment and domestic NGO aid were in the passage of the Act.

description: Band Husimi distributions (BHDs) are introduced in the quantum-chaos problem on a toral phase space. In the framework of this phase space, a quantum state must satisfy Bloch boundary conditions (BCs) on a torus and the spectrum consists of a finite number of levels for given BCs. As the BCs are varied, a level broadens into a band. The BHD for a band is defined as the uniform average of the Husimi distributions for all the eigenstates in the band. The generalized BHD for a set of adjacent bands is the average of the BHDs associated with these bands. BHDs are shown to be closer, in several aspects, to classical distributions than Husimi distributions for individual eigenstates. The generalized BHD for two adjacent bands is shown to be approximately conserved in the passage through a degeneracy between the bands as a nonintegrability parameter is varied. Finally, it is shown how generalized BHDs can be defined so as to achieve physical continuity under small variations of the scaled Planck constant. A generalization of the topological (Chern-index) characterization of the classical-quantum correspondence is then obtained.

description: We address the issue of fluctuations, about an exponential lineshape, in a pair of one-dimensional kicked quantum systems exhibiting dynamical localization. An exact renormalization scheme establishes the fractal character of the fluctuations and provides a new method to compute the localization length in terms of the fluctuations. In the case of a linear rotor, the fluctuations are independent of the kicking parameter $k$ and exhibit self-similarity for certain values of the quasienergy. For given $k$, the asymptotic localization length is a good characteristic of the localized lineshapes for all quasienergies. This is in stark contrast to the quadratic rotor, where the fluctuations depend upon the strength of the kicking and exhibit local "resonances". These resonances result in strong deviations of the localization length from the asymptotic value. The consequences are particularly pronounced when considering the time evolution of a packet made up of several quasienergy states.

Is Scenario Generation Ready for SOTIF? A Systematic Literature Review

description: Scenario-based testing is considered state-of-the-art to verify and validate Advanced Driver Assistance Systems or Automated Driving Systems. Due to the official launch of the SOTIF-standard (ISO 21448), scenario-based testing becomes more and more relevant for releasing those Highly Automated Driving Systems. However, an essential missing detail prevent the practical application of the SOTIF-standard: How to practically generate scenarios for scenario-based testing? In this paper, we perform a Systematic Literature Review to identify techniques that generate scenarios complying with requirements of the SOTIF-standard. We classify existing scenario generation techniques and evaluate the characteristics of generated scenarios wrt. SOTIF requirements. We investigate which details of the real-world are covered by generated scenarios, whether scenarios are specific for a system under test or generic, and whether scenarios are designed to minimize the set of unknown and hazardous scenarios. We conclude that scenarios generated with existing techniques do not comply with requirements implied by the SOTIF-standard; hence, we propose directions for future research.

description: When transforming pairs of independent quantum operations according to the fundamental rules of quantum theory, an intriguing phenomenon emerges: some such higher-order operations may act on the input operations in an indefinite causal order. Recently, the formalism of process matrices has been developed to investigate these noncausal properties of higher-order operations. This formalism predicts, in principle, statistics that ensure indefinite causal order even in a device-independent scenario, where the involved operations are not characterised. Nevertheless, all physical implementations of process matrices proposed so far require full characterisation of the involved operations in order to certify such phenomena. Here we consider a semi-device-independent scenario, which does not require all operations to be characterised. We introduce a framework for certifying noncausal properties of process matrices in this intermediate regime and use it to analyse the quantum switch, a well-known higher-order operation, to show that, although it can only lead to causal statistics in a device-independent scenario, it can exhibit noncausal properties in semi-device-independent scenarios. This proves that the quantum switch generates stronger noncausal correlations than it was previously known.

description: Zinc was, until its isolation by Margraff in 1746, a metal unknown in the West and of magical properties whose origin
was unknown. Zinc ingots were imported from China and India, which were the foci of pre-industrial zinc production
with a very advanced metallurgy that would not be comparable in the West until the 18th century. In Europe quality brass was produced by the cementation process from pre-classical times although there was no real knowledge of how it was obtained, due to which the obtained brass varies enormously in composition. The irruption of the zinc coming from the East allowed to manufacture a more homogeneous brass, fostering a very refined brass metallurgy in some European regions.
The Industrial Army Movement of 1894 and Transitions in American Labor Activism During the Gilded Age
Creators: Welt, Aaron
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: History

description: Industrialization fundamentally altered life in nineteenth century America. The free labor ideology of the era shaped labor activism by guiding it towards an "equal rights tradition," which held that workers could use their civil and political rights to correct the ills wrought by industrialization. However, the growth of the wage-labor system, and the vulnerabilities of wageworkers during times of depression, demonstrated the outdated potential of the equal rights tradition. The Industrial Army Movement of 1894 represented a shift in American labor activism as resistance through the ballot box, strikes and courts gave way to a national approach dedicated to appropriating the power of the federal government to aid unemployed industrial wageworkers. The Industrial Army Movement built upon prior political activism of the Populist People's Party and the Knights of Labor-affiliated Workingmen's Parties, movements that also sought to wield political power to alleviate the dislocations caused by industrialization. Though the movement was unsuccessful in lobbying Congress to pass a government-funded jobs program to build infrastructural projects around the country, the Industrial Army Movement nevertheless represents a pivotal shift in the labor movement's tactics and the increasingly central role the federal government would have to play in the political, economic and social life of the United States during the age of industrialization.

Weak Quantum Ergodicity

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: We examine the consequences of classical ergodicity for the localization properties of individual quantum eigenstates in the classical limit. We note that the well known Schnirelman result is a weaker form of quantum ergodicity than the one implied by random matrix theory. This suggests the possibility of systems with non-gaussian random eigenstates which are nonetheless ergodic in the sense of Schnirelman and lead to ergodic transport in the classical limit. These we call "weakly quantum ergodic.'' Indeed for a class of "slow ergodic" classical systems, it is found that each eigenstate becomes localized to an ever decreasing fraction of the available state space, in the semiclassical limit. Nevertheless, each eigenstate in this limit covers phase space evenly on any classical scale, and long-time transport properties betwen individual quantum states remain ergodic due to the diffractive effects which dominate quantum phase space exploration.

description: Two classical civil engineering inverse problems are considered. The first deals with the determination of dynamic moving loads applied to a reinforced concrete beam. The second one corresponds to the monitoring and the damage assessment. The concrete damage due to overloading is modelled by a loss of the concrete Young' modulus, whereas the steel bar damage due to corrosion effects is modelled by a reduction of the steel bar cross section. To identify the loading and damage parameters, deterministic and probabilistic model updating techniques are applied and compared. In the deterministic approach, a gradient descent technique based on adjoint framework is used to minimize the data misfit functional with a Tikhonov regularization term. Regularization by means of Bayes rule is considered in a probabilistic approach. The estimation is of the minimum variance type achieved with the help of the transformed ensemble Kalman filter.

description: In three experiments I sought to experimentally test a source of emergent relations defined as transitivity by Stimulus Equivalence theory or as combinatorial entailment in Relational Frame Theory. In Experiment I, the participants were 4 children diagnosed with autism who also demonstrated significant cognitive and language delays, who were selected for the experiment because of their inability to demonstrate emergent/derived relations during baseline. A time-lagged multiple probe design was utilized to determine the effects of training of a frame of symmetry through the use of a cross modal matching procedure requiring the participants to match auditory stimuli to visual stimuli and conversely visual stimuli to auditory stimuli using a computer program. The dependent variables were the participant's responses to the emergent relations of transitivity/combinatorial entailment, post intervention, with a probe set and a novel set of stimuli, as well as the participant's rate of learning for tacts and textual responses. Three of four participants were able to demonstrate emergent relations following intervention. The participant who did not demonstrate derived relations lacked an echoic repertoire. In Experiment II, I built on the findings of Experiment I to determine if derived relations could be taught visually, without the use of language. Three males with severe language disorders, who did not display emergent relations during baseline, participated in the experiment. A time-lagged multiple probe design, with counterbalanced probes was used to determine the effects of multiple exemplar training across visual relations. The dependent variable was the participant's responses to emergent relation probes following intervention. None of the participants were able to demonstrate derived relations after visual symmetry training. In the third experiment, the same participants and materials were used as Experiment II, however, in Experiment III, a tact was taught for each of the stimulus sets in order to determine the role of the tact in emergent relations. A time lagged multiple probe design, with counterbalanced probes was used. The dependent variable was again participant's responses to emergent relation probes following tact training. All 3 participants were able to demonstrate derived relations with the probe and novel set of stimuli following intervention. Results of all three experiments suggest that both bi-directional/symmetrical relations and verbal operants are necessary for derived relations.

description: Over the past 30 years European Union legislators have established 34 agencies invested with a wide array of executive tasks. How significant are these new institutions in the implementation of major EU measures? This article extends our understanding of delegation dynamics in the EU by offering original empirical evidence about the reliance of EU legislators upon EU-level bureaucratic agents beyond the Commission. After introducing a new longitudinal dataset (1985–2016) of salient EU secondary legislation, by means of a quantitative analysis, the article tests three hypotheses drawn from the theories of delegation and bureaucratic behaviour. Results show that the likelihood of relying on an agency for implementation increases with the initial growth of the Commission’s policy-making powers, but then decreases significantly when the Commission reaches high levels of policy competences. Moreover, the probability of relying on agencies is positively affected by the complexity of the policy issue at stake.

description: We illustrate an isomorphic representation of the observable algebra for quantum mechanics in terms of the functions on the projective Hilbert space, and its Hilbert space analog, with a noncommutative product in terms of explicit coordinates and discuss the physical and dynamical picture. The isomorphism is then used as a base for the translation of the differential symplectic geometry of the infinite dimensional manifolds onto the observable algebra as a noncommutative geometry. Hence, we obtain the latter from the physical theory itself. We have essentially an extended formalism of the Schrodinger versus Heisenberg picture which we describe mathematically as like a coordinate map from the phase space, for which we have presented argument to be seen as the quantum model of the physical space, to the noncommutative geometry coordinated by the six position and momentum operators. The observable algebra is taken essentially as an algebra of formal functions on the latter operators. The work formulates the intuitive idea that the noncommutative geometry can be seen as an alternative, noncommutative coordinate, picture of familiar quantum phase space, at least so long as the symplectic geometry is concerned.

Valve Gaping Behaviour in the European Oyster (Ostrea edulis) in Response to Changes in Light Intensity when Combined with Variations in Salinity and Seawater Temperature

description: Valve gaping behaviour in bivalve molluscs controls the flow of water across gills that provide both food, and oxygen for respiration. Closure of the valves also provides protection from predators and poor-quality water conditions. Research presented here used a flow through seawater system with controlled changes in salinity and temperature, combined with continuous measurement of valve gape using Hall effect sensors, to study how changes in these variables affect the valve movements of the European oyster (Ostrea edulis) held under controlled long day-length conditions.

A clear relationship between periods of reduced light intensity and maximum valve gape was recognised in preliminary studies and provided a benchmark against which to compare how changes in environmental conditions linked to climate change may alter the behaviour of these coastal marine bivalves. Oysters collected from the southwest coast of Norway in August 2022 were held for 72 h at full seawater salinity of 33.6 and a temperature of 15.8 ± 0.5 °C prior to exposure to a reduction in salinity down to 18.2 over a 3 h period. Oysters showed an initial reduction in valve gape width as salinity reached 31.4, with valve gape decreasing further as salinity fell to 28.8. All valves were fully closed at salinity 20.5. 

Oysters remained in this condition throughout the subsequent 21 h exposure period with salinity at 18.2. Thereafter salinity was increased in 3 steps. In the first step, salinity reached 24.2 over 2 h, and was held there over the following 22 h. All oysters commenced re-opening valves between salinity 22.8 and 24.2. When salinity was further increased to 27.3 over the subsequent 24 h, oysters returned to approximately their pre-exposure valve gape widths. When salinity 33.8 was delivered to the tanks there were 2 d during which maximum valve gape was significantly reduced, after which valve gape width returned to a pre-exposure condition.

The predicted pattern of valve opening during reduced light intensity periods was maintained when seawater temperature was raised from 15.8 °C up to 20.1 °C in approximately 1 °C steps every 24 h. However, the reduction of temperature from 20.1 °C in similar-sized increments altered the expected patterns of behaviour. The results indicate that increasing occurrences of fluxes in salinity and temperature due to climate change have the potential to disrupt normal valve gaping behaviour in European oysters, creating an additional challenge to those they already face from invasive species and disease.

description: Background: Currently, two echocardiographic techniques are used to measure deformation: tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Recently, a technique combining STE and TDI (on TDI overlay images) has become available, allowing derivation of STE/TDI results from a single acquisition/reading (combined-STE/combined-TDI). We tested the feasibility and agreement of this novel technique to measure left ventricular deformation in the general population compared to STE and TDI. Methods: We examined a subsample of 106 consecutive subjects of the Asklepios Study, a population-based random sample of male/female volunteers without overt clinical disease (mean age: 55.9 years). Left ventricular deformation measurements were assessed with transthoracic echocardiography using the combined method, STE and TDI. Results: Almost all deformation parameters significantly differed between all methods. Global systolic longitudinal strain (GS) and strain rate (GSRs) values measured by combined-TDI were significantly higher (GS −17.2% ± 3.0, GSRs −0.9 s−1 ± 0.2) compared to TDI (GS −21.1% ± 2.2, GSRs −1.3 s−1 ± 0.2). Measurements by combined-STE were significantly lower (GS −19.1% ± 2.9, GSRs −1.0 s−1 ± 0.2) compared to STE (GS −18.2% ± 3.0, GSRs −0.9 s−1 ± 0.1). Overall, the smallest differences and highest agreement were observed between STE and combined-STE (GS r = 0.84, p r = 0.70, p Conclusions: The comparison of methods showed different values and poor agreement between the echocardiographic modalities. Regrettably, the combined method does not make it possible to obtain in a single image/measurement results that are comparable to STE and TDI data in the general population.

description: Ишемическая болезнь сердца и хроническая почечная недостаточность чаще всего встречаются совместно, осложняя друг друга. В корне этого явления лежит такой общий этиологический фактор, как дисфункция эндотелия кровеносных сосудов. Примером может служить атеросклероз кровеносных сосудов, продолжительная артериальная гипертензия и другие патофизиологические механизмы. Атеросклерозу подвергаются сначала периферические кровеносные сосуды, которые изначально могут протекать бессимптомно. Если не начать купировать содержание холестерина в крови, то атеросклероз может распространяться до коронарных и почечных артерий, что даёт характерную симптоматику для этих заболеваний. Ввиду всего вышеперечисленного, совместное изучение ИБС и ХПН является актуальным на сегодняшний день.

description: A critical comparison is made between recent predictions of the cross sections for diffractive Higgs production at the Tevatron and the LHC. We show that the huge spread of the predictions arises either because different diffractive processes are studied or because important effects are overlooked. Exclusive production offers a reliable, viable Higgs signal at the LHC provided that proton taggers are installed.

description: The renormalization group method has been adapted to the analysis of the long-time behavior of non-linear partial differential equation and has demonstrated its power in the study of critical phenomena of gravitational collapse. In the present work we apply the renormalization group to the Einstein equation in cosmology and carry out detailed analysis of renormalization group flow in the vicinity of the scale invariant fixed point in the spherically symmetric and inhomogeneous dust filled universe model.
