description: There is growing interest in warm dense matter (WDM) -- an exotic state on the border between condensed matter and plasmas. Due to the simultaneous importance of quantum and correlation effects WDM is complicated to treat theoretically. A key role has been played by \textit{ab initio} path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations, and recently extensive results for thermodynamic quantities have been obtained. The first extension of PIMC simulations to the dynamic structure factor of the uniform electron gas were reported by Dornheim \textit{et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{121}, 255001 (2018)]. This was based on an accurate reconstruction of the dynamic local field correction. Here we extend this concept to other dynamical quantities of the warm dense electron gas including the dynamic susceptibility, the dielectric function and the conductivity.

description: In a search for new Galactic planetary nebulae from our systematic scans of the Anglo-Australian Observatory/United Kingdom Schmidt Telescope (AAO/UKST) Halpha survey of the Southern Galactic Plane, we have identified a Pop I Wolf-Rayet star of type WN7h associated with an unusual ring nebula that has a fractured rim. We present imagery in Halpha, the 843-MHz continuum from the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST), the mid-infrared from the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX), and confirmatory optical spectroscopy of the character of the nebula and of its central star. The inner edge of the Halpha shell shows gravitational instabilities with a well-defined wavelength around its complete circumference.

description: We develop and analyse the first second-order phase-field model to combine melting and dissolution in multi-component flows. This provides a simple and accurate way to simulate challenging phase-change problems in existing codes. Phase-field models simplify computation by describing separate regions using a smoothed phase field. The phase field eliminates the need for complicated discretisations that track the moving phase boundary. However standard phase-field models are only first-order accurate. They often incur an error proportional to the thickness of the diffuse interface. We eliminate this dominant error by developing a general framework for asymptotic analysis of diffuse-interface methods in arbitrary geometries. With this framework we can consistently unify previous second-order phase-field models of melting and dissolution and the volume-penalty method for fluid-solid interaction. We finally validate second-order convergence of our model in two comprehensive benchmark problems using the open-source spectral code Dedalus.

Negotating cultures : a case study of collaborative conversations between Japanese students learning English paired with American students learning Japanese
Creators: name: Cahill, Neta Simpkins
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Negotiated interaction among language learners has. been well researched to identify learner strategies which surface in collaborative conversational interaction. However, most studies have been confined to populations who are learning English as a second language working with native English speakers or other nonnative speakers. This fails to take into account the scope of possibilities a more linguistically and culturally balanced perspective could reveal about negotiated interaction. This study explored negotiated interaction and language use between four American college students learning Japanese paired with four Japanese students learning English. Performing simultaneously as teacher and student in an informal conversational activity, each participant was equally responsible to attempt target forms and to present model forms of communication as cultural similarities and differences were explored together. Significant findings from the present study fell into three basic categories. First, the data revealed the actual distribution of English and Japanese in each dyad and determined the percentages of first or second language utterances for each participant, thus giving a clear representation of the amount and type of language being generated in the informal dialogs, and also revealing glaring imbalances both in quantities of input per participant and in language distribution between English and Japanese. The Japanese participants spoke considerably less than their American partners, and English far outweighed Japanese in its usage. Regarding negotiated interaction, comprehension checks, feedback requests, confirmation checks, and clarification requests, as well as language modification in the form of self-correction, other-correction, completion requests, .and other-completion utterances were tallied and compared, revealing an unexpectedly large number of self- and other-corrections in both languages, dominance of the American students in initiating conversations, and a large number of language specific feedback requests discussing grammar, pronunciation, and lexical gaps. Participants also shared their own perceptions of the learning and teaching experiences that took place in the dyads and expressed positive and enthusiastic responses, indicative of the intrinsic motivation this learning environment evoked and the value conversation partner programs may hold in second language acquisition.

description: Stellar population studies of early-type galaxies (ETGs) based on their optical stellar continuum suggest that these are quiescent systems. However, emission lines and ultraviolet photometry reveal a diverse population. We use a new version of the STARLIGHT spectral synthesis code and state-of-the-art stellar population models to simultaneously fit SDSS spectra and GALEX photometry for a sample of 3453 galaxies at $z < 0.1$ with $NUV-r > 5$ that are classified as elliptical by Galaxy Zoo. We reproduce $FUV$ magnitudes for 80 per cent of UV upturn galaxies selected using criteria from the literature, suggesting that additional stellar population ingredients such as binaries and extreme horizontal branch stars may have a limited contribution to the UV upturn. The addition of ultraviolet data leads to a broadening of the distributions of mean stellar ages, metallicities and attenuation. Stellar populations younger than $1\,$Gyr are required to reproduce the ultraviolet emission in 17 per cent of our sample. These systems represent 43 per cent of the sample at $5

description: In math.AC/9608214 it was shown that fields of generalized power series cannot admit an exponential function. In this paper, we construct fields of generalized power series with bounded support which admit an exponential. We give a natural definition of an exponential, which makes these fields into models of real exponentiation. The method allows to construct for every kappa regular uncountable cardinal, 2^{kappa} pairwise non-isomorphic models of real exponentiation (of cardinality kappa), but all isomorphic as ordered fields. Indeed, the 2^{kappa} exponentials constructed have pairwise distinct growth rates. This method relies on constructing lexicographic chains with many automorphisms.

description: High-level musical qualities (such as emotion) are often abstract, subjective, and hard to quantify. Given these difficulties, it is not easy to learn good feature representations with supervised learning techniques, either because of the insufficiency of labels, or the subjectiveness (and hence large variance) in human-annotated labels. In this paper, we present a framework that can learn high-level feature representations with a limited amount of data, by first modelling their corresponding quantifiable low-level attributes. We refer to our proposed framework as Music FaderNets, which is inspired by the fact that low-level attributes can be continuously manipulated by separate "sliding faders" through feature disentanglement and latent regularization techniques. High-level features are then inferred from the low-level representations through semi-supervised clustering using Gaussian Mixture Variational Autoencoders (GM-VAEs). Using arousal as an example of a high-level feature, we show that the "faders" of our model are disentangled and change linearly w.r.t. the modelled low-level attributes of the generated output music. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the model successfully learns the intrinsic relationship between arousal and its corresponding low-level attributes (rhythm and note density), with only 1% of the training set being labelled. Finally, using the learnt high-level feature representations, we explore the application of our framework in style transfer tasks across different arousal states. The effectiveness of this approach is verified through a subjective listening test.

The structural and scaling properties of nearby galaxy clusters: I - The universal mass profile

description: We present the integrated mass profiles for a sample of ten nearby (z<=0.15), relaxed galaxy clusters, covering a temperature range of [2-9]keV, observed with XMM-Newton. The mass profiles were derived from the observed gas density and temperature profiles under the hypothesis of spherical symmetry and hydrostatic equilibrium. All ten mass profiles are well described by an NFW-type profile over the radial range from 0.01 to 0.5 R_200, where R_200 is the radius corresponding to a density contrast of 200 with respect to the critical density at the cluster redshift. A King model is inconsistent with these data. The derived concentration parameters and total masses are in the range c_200=4-6 and M_200=1.2 10^14-1.2 10^15 Msol, respectively. Our qualitative and quantitative study of the mass profile shape shows, for the first time, direct and clear observational evidence for the universality of the total mass distribution in clusters. The mass profiles scaled in units of R_200 and M_200 nearly coincide, with a dispersion of less than 15% at 0.1 R_200. The c_200--M_200 relation is consistent with the predictions of numerical simulations for a LCDM cosmology, taking into account the measurement errors and expected intrinsic scatter. Our results provide further strong evidence in favour of the Cold Dark Matter cosmological scenario and show that the dark matter collapse is well understood at least down to the cluster scale.

description: In the scope of “Pilot on Open Research Data (ORD Pilot)”, which is part of Horizon 2020 Research and Innovative Programme, each project partner has to take care that the publicly funded publications have ‘Golden’ or ‘Green’ open access and that the research data are findable, open accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). For research data a proper ‘underlying data’ management has to be set up. Research data refers to all results as well as to data necessary for validation, verification and well understanding of achievements presented in published papers and other open access studies.
 This Deliverable D7.9 presents a first version of a Data Management Plan (DMP) for the MEET-project and addresses the following points:
 Which Existing Data Will Be Collected And Used For The MEET Project,
 Which Data Will Be Generated During The MEET Project,
 In Which Way Data Will Be Stored,
 In Which Way Data Will Be Prepared As FAIR Data,
 What Are The Issues Regarding Data Security And
 How Are Ethical Aspects Considered

description: Understanding alloy phase transformations during continuous cooling is important for post-processing design and optimization. In this work, continuous-cooling-transformation (CCT) diagrams of Inconel 718 alloys manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and suction casting are developed under different homogenization conditions. Unlike the available CCT diagrams in the reported studies, no gamma double prime and gamma prime precipitates can be observed. NbC and delta are determined to be the precipitates after cooling from the gamma matrix. Importantly, homogenization time and manufacturing methods are found to affect the Nb homogeneity in the matrix near NbC particles and thus significantly influence the precipitation process of the delta phase, which has a high content in Nb. In the alloys with high Nb homogeneity, the nucleation process mainly contributes to the precipitation, whereas in the alloys with low Nb homogeneity, the precipitation is primarily associated with the growth process. Subgrains are found to form after cooling at 0.1 K/s and can cause the highest hardness in samples. This work provides a new viewpoint on the study of processing-structure-property relationships during cooling in Inconel 718 and is beneficial to the development of alloy post-processing strategies.

description: In past decades the scientific community has been looking for a reliable first-principles method to predict the electronic structure of solids with high accuracy. Here we present an approach which we call the quasiparticle self-consistent GW approximation (QpscGW). It is based on a kind of self-consistent perturbation theory, where the self-consistency is constructed to minimize the perturbation. We apply it to selections from different classes of materials, including alkali metals, semiconductors, wide band gap insulators, transition metals, transition metal oxides, magnetic insulators, and rare earth compounds. Apart some mild exceptions, the properties are very well described, particularly in weakly correlated cases. Self-consistency dramatically improves agreement with experiment, and is sometimes essential. Discrepancies with experiment are systematic, and can be explained in terms of approximations made.

description: The second version of the data management plan (DMP) lays out the project-specific open access approach of the geothermal European Horizon 2020 project “MEET” (Multidisciplinary and multicontext demonstration of EGS exploration and Exploitation Techniques and potential) by M24 of the project lifetime. The project consortium is aiming at boosting the development of Enhanced Geothermal (EGS) across Europe in various geological contexts by different means and is rooted in the geoscientific, geothermal and conversion technologies communities.
 As the project is engaged in the ORD Pilot, as much as possible scientific outcome is dedicated to the concept of FAIR data and open access by simultaneously considering the commercial or industrial exploitation of sensitive data that have to be kept under restricted access. The project-specific workflows and approaches based on FAIR
 guidelines and community standards as well as on partner’s individual decisions and joint decisions among all consortium members are described in detail. Furthermore, the DMP provides further links to tools, platforms, best-practice examples and training resources for digging deeper into open science and the related topics. So, it can be utilized as an open science manual for all beneficiaries independently from there experience.
 The purposes of the data collection and generation within MEET and the linkage to the project’s objectives are stated. The type, format, origin, expected size, utility and re-use of each of the various research data are described. Appropriate standard identification mechanisms (persistent identifiers), metadata schemes and standards, file naming conventions and clear document versioning are mentioned to make the data of several processing levels findable.
 The definition on which data will be openly available and which will be kept closed, the various deposition options with focus on certified repositories, needed software tools to access the data, and the provision of access are explained to make the data accessible for all users. General and subject-specific data and metadata vocabularies as well as search keywords are listed to make the data interoperable.
 The re-usability of the research data is clarified be appropriate re-usable licenses, clear restrictions, quality assessment and quality control methods, embargo regulations and IPR issues. Furthermore, the costs to make MEET data FAIR as well as the coverage of these costs are explained. Some information is listed regarding the long-term
 preservation, the security and the ethical aspects of the project data.

This solves one of the four remaining open cases in the tables given in 1989 by George R. T. Hendry, which included the Ramsey numbers $R(G,H)$ for all pairs of graphs $G$ and $H$ having five vertices, except seven entries. In addition, we show that there exists a unique up to isomorphism critical Ramsey graph for $W_5$ versus $K_5$. Our results are based on computer algorithms.

description: It is straightforward to calculate the conductance of a quantum device once all its scattering centers are fully specified. However, to do this in reverse, i.e., to find information about the composition of scatterers in a device from its conductance, is an elusive task. This is particularly more challenging in the presence of disorder. Here we propose a procedure in which valuable compositional information can be extracted from the seemingly noisy spectral conductance of a two-terminal disordered quantum device. In particular, we put forward an inversion methodology that can identify the nature and respective concentration of randomly-distributed impurities by analyzing energy-dependent conductance fingerprints. Results are shown for graphene nanoribbons as a case in point using both tight-binding and density functional theory simulations, indicating that this inversion technique is general, robust and can be employed to extract structural and compositional information of disordered mesoscopic devices from standard conductance measurements.
Computers in the Grade 9 FSL classroom : how do they influence students' attitudes, motivation, self-concept and performance?
Creators: name: Hagerman, Michelle Schira
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study compared the attitudes, motivation, self-concept and performance of two Grade 9 Core French (FSL) classes in Ontario. One class of 16 students used computer mediated communication (CMC) for approximately 1.5 hours per week. The other class of 24 students did not use computers. Analysis of covariance showed no statistically significant differences on any quantitative measures of attitude, motivation, self-concept or performance. The analysis of student interview responses and teacher observations revealed no significant between-group differences on these four variables either. The results suggest that computers are not better than traditional communicative methods of second language teaching in developing Grade 9 FSL students' attitudes, motivation, self-concept and performance. Since the teacher was the variable common to both classes, however, her influence may explain the undifferentiated between-group results. Regardless of the methods used to teach students, the teacher may always be the most influential variable in determining students' attitudes, motivation, self-concept and performance.

description: We use the Fortuin-Kasteleyn representation based improved estimator of the correlation configuration as an alternative to the ordinary correlation configuration in the machine-learning study of the phase classification of spin models. The phases of classical spin models are classified using the improved estimators, and the method is also applied to the quantum Monte Carlo simulation using the loop algorithm. We analyze the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition of the spin 1/2 quantum XY model on the square lattice. We classify the BKT phase and the paramagnetic phase of the quantum XY model using the machine-learning approach. We show that the classification of the quantum XY model can be performed by using the training data of the classical XY model.

description: An improved version of the Cascade-Exciton Model (CEM) of nuclear reactions contained in the code CEM2k and the Los Alamos version of the Quark-Gluon String Model (LAQGSM) are merged with the well-known sequential-binary-decay model GEMINI by Charity. We present some results on proton-induced fragmentation, fission-product yields and on particle spectra predicted by these extended versions of CEM2k and LAQGSM. We show that merging CEM2k and LAQGSM with GEMINI allows us to describe many fission and fragmentation reactions in addition to the spallation and evaporation reactions which are already described well by these codes. Nevertheless, the current version of GEMINI we use does not provide a completely satisfactory description of some complex-particle spectra, fragment emission, and spallation yields for some reactions, and is not yet a universal tool for applications. Our results show that GEMINI contains a powerful model to describe evaporation/fission/fragmentation reactions and often provides better results when compared to other models, especially for emission of heavy fragments from reactions on medium-heavy nuclei (where most other models simply fail), but it must be further extended and improved in order to properly describe arbitrary reactions.
description: Revised version of an ND2004 contribution (2004, Santa Fe, USA): minor revision of the text, Fig. 5 revised, references updated. We thank Dr. Claude Volant for noticing that the stated values of the fission delay time used in GEMINI were in error for several reactions in the earlier version of this paper

description: AIMS: We studied unique data of a nova-like system MV Lyr during transition from the high to low state and vice versa taken by the Kepler space telescope. We were interested in evolution of frequency components found previously by Scaringi et al. in different data also obtained by Kepler. METHODS: We divided the light curve into 10 day segments and investigated the corresponding power density spectra. We searched for individual frequency components by fitting with Lorentzian functions. Additionally, we investigated the variability using averaged shot profiles calculated from the light curve divided into 10 equally spaces subsamples. RESULTS: We found very complex changes of the power density spectra. We focused our study onto three frequency components. Strong activity increase is seen at low frequencies. Contrariwise, the high frequency part of the spectrum strongly decreases in power with specific rise in characteristic frequencies of the individual components. We discuss various scenarios of this phenomenology as reprocessing of X-rays in a receding accretion disc or a radiation from a more active region at the outer disc. Finally, we show that various cataclysmic variables show similar characteristic frequencies in their power density spectra. These are dependent on activity stage, making the situation similar to X-ray binaries.

Energy Conversion of Fully Random Thermal Relaxation Times

description: Thermodynamic random processes in thermal systems are generally associated with one or several relaxation times, the inverse of which are formally homogeneous with energy. Here, we show in a precise way that the periodic modification of relaxation times during temperature-constant thermodynamic cycles can be thermodynamically beneficiary to the operator. This result holds as long as the operator who adjusts relaxation times does not attempt to control the randomness associated with relaxation times itself as a Maxwell 'demon' would do. Indirectly, our result also shows that thermal randomness appears satisfactorily described within a conventional quantum-statistical framework, and that the attempts advocated notably by Ilya Prigogine to go beyond a Hilbert space description of quantum statistics do not seem justified - at least according to the present state of our knowledge. Fundamental interpretation of randomness, either thermal or quantum mechanical, is briefly discussed.

description: Towards the end of the 20th and the dawn of the 21st century, the world experienced a revolution that fundamentally changed human interactions and work. These revolutions came to be known as the thirds and fourth industrial revolution (4IR) respectively. The third industrial revolution was mainly focused on the development of information technology appliances (Computers) (Office of Jeremy Rifkin, 2019). This laid the foundation for the fourth industrial revolution that leveraged the differences between the digital, physical, and biological ecosystem (Johnson, 2019). It goes further in integrating internet of things (IoT), robotics, cyber-physical systems, artificial intelligence systems in boosting manufacturing (Johnson, 2019). The trend of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) has proven to be exponential, if compared to the three it precedes that took a linear approach. This article talks about the challenges the Sierra Leone energy sector faces to champion the country’s 4IR drive, the author further explores energy access and the economy, and how governance will be a tool in this drive

description: Motivated by recent developments in the metrical theory of continued fractions for real numbers concerning the growth of consecutive partial quotients, we consider its analogue over the field of formal Laurent series. Let $A_n(x)$ be the $n$th partial quotient of the continued fraction expansion of $x$ in the field of formal Laurent series. We consider the sets of $x$ such that $°A_{n+1}(x)+\cdots+°A_{n+k}(x)~\ge~Φ(n)$ holds for infinitely many $n$ and for all $n$ respectively, where $k\ge1$ is an integer and $Φ(n)$ is a positive function defined on $\mathbb{N}$. We determine the size of these sets in terms of Haar measure and Hausdorff dimension.

Simulating a faint gamma-ray burst population
Creators: name: Coward, D. M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: There have now been three supernova-associated gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at redshift z < 0.17, namely 980425, 030329, and 031203, but the nearby and under-luminous GRBs 980425 and 031203 are distinctly different from the `classical' or standard GRBs. It has been suggested that they could be classical GRBs observed away from their jet axes, or they might belong to a population of under-energetic GRBs. Recent radio observations of the afterglow of GRB 980425 suggest that different engines may be responsible for the observed diversity of cosmic explosions. Given this assumption, a crude constraint on a luminosity function for faint GRBs with a mean luminosity similar to that of GRB 980425 and an upper limit on the rate density of 980425-type events, we simulate the redshift distribution of under-luminous GRBs assuming BATSE and Swift sensitivities. A local rate density of about 0.6% of the local supernova Type Ib/c rate yields simulated probabilities for under-luminous events to occur at rates comparable to the BATSE GRB low-redshift distribution. In this scenario the probability of BATSE/HETE detecting at least one GRB at z<0.05 is 0.78 over 4.5 years, a result that is comparable with observation. Swift has the potential to detect 1--5 under-luminous GRBs during one year of observation.
