description: Order of magnitude reasoning - reasoning by rough comparisons of the sizes of quantities - is often called 'back of the envelope calculation', with the implication that the calculations are quick though approximate. This paper exhibits an interesting class of constraint sets in which order of magnitude reasoning is demonstrably fast. Specifically, we present a polynomial-time algorithm that can solve a set of constraints of the form 'Points a and b are much closer together than points c and d.' We prove that this algorithm can be applied if `much closer together' is interpreted either as referring to an infinite difference in scale or as referring to a finite difference in scale, as long as the difference in scale is greater than the number of variables in the constraint set. We also prove that the first-order theory over such constraints is decidable.

gave significantly higher grain yields and grain protein than lower levels, including
state  level  recommendation of  N46P46  kg/ha.    Dandaa produced significantly higher grain yield than Pavon-76
and Kakaba.  The protein content was  similar for Dandaa and Pavon-76, but significantly higher than Kakaba.
The quadratic yield responses showed high correlation between yields and fertilizer rates for varieties (R

respectively. Kakaba had still not reached maximum yield. The pr ofit was higher for Dandaa
(25,659  birr/ha)  compared  to  Pavon-76  (20,608  birr/ha)  and  wheat  in  general  23,872  birr/ha.  Dandaa  and
pavon-76 were more nutrient-use efficient than Kakaba  at low to  high application rates with higher marginal
rate of returns  (MRR) and agronomic  efficiency.  Accordingly, Dandaa and pavon-76 varieties may be more
universal for adoption under varied situations. The Kakaba variety, on the other hand, showing promise only at
very  high  rate  of  fertilization  may  be  less  preferred  for  adoption  in  areas  with  low  to  medium  fertility  and
resource-poor  farmers.  The  results  indicating  the  need  for  fertilization  three  to  four  times  the  state  level
recommendations  may  be  further  validated  through  verification  trials  on  farmers’  fields  with  same  agroecology, in cooperation with Commercial Agricultural Development enterprises and private investors.

description: This text proposes a comparative analysis of the inter-provincial developments of the professionalization of teacher education in Canada, and focuses on two issues: governance of teacher education and the development of new training programs. More specifically, based on a literature review, we analyse how current comparative research brings an understanding of the professionalization of teaching in Canada and we argue the need for more comparative studies in this matter. Ce texte propose une analyse comparative interprovinciale des évolutions de la professionnalisation de la formation des enseignants au Canada selon deux enjeux : la gouvernance de la formation des enseignants et la mise en place des nouveaux programmes universitaires. Plus spécifiquement, nous étudions, à travers une revue de la documentation, de quelle manière la recherche comparative actuelle permet de mieux comprendre le mouvement de professionnalisation au Canada. Nous argumentons enfin de l’importance de réaliser davantage d’études comparatives dans ce sujet.

description: Amorphous boron carbide (B4C) thin films are by far the most popular form for the neutron converting layers in the 10B-based neutron detectors, which are a rising trend in detector technologies in response to the increasing scarcity and price of 3He, the standard material for neutron detection. The microstructure of the B4C films is closely related to the important properties, e.g. density and adhesion, for the converting layers, which eventually affect the detection efficiency and the long-term stability of the detectors. To study the influence from substrates of different roughness and materials, the B4C films were deposited on polished Si substrates with Al, Ti, and Cu buffer layers and unpolished Si, Al, Ti, and Cu substrates by direct current magnetron sputtering at a substrate temperature of 623 K. The tapered columnar grains and nodular defects, generally observed in SEM images, indicated a strong shadowing effect where voids were introduced around the grains. The change in the grain size did not show a direct dependence to the substrate roughness, acquired from the surface profile, nor to the mass density of the films, obtained from reflectivity patterns. However, films with non-uniform size of columnar grains were deposited on substrates with high skewness, leading to a drop of mass density from ~95 % down to ~70 % of tabulated bulk density. On the other hand, similar microstructures and mass density were obtained from the films deposited on Al, Ti, and Cu of different roughness and good adhesion were observed from cross-cut adhesion tests, showing the reliability of sputtering deposited B4C films on common structural materials in neutron detectors.

description: Early years mathematics experiences have been shown to be a significant predictor for students’ school readiness and future mathematics achievement. Previous research also indicates an important connection between emotion and mathematics learning. How do students in early years education in Alberta describe their emotional relationship with mathematics? This article documents the findings of our research focusing on Kindergarten to Grade 2 students. Our analysis showed that many students in the early years, including those at the Kindergarten level, recognized what is considered to be mathematics but mainly associated mathematics with number and numerical operations. The majority of these students reported positive relationships with mathematics, though some described negative relationships with school mathematics learning. Les expériences préscolaires avec les mathématiques se sont avérées être des prédicteurs importants de la maturité scolaire des jeunes enfants et de leur rendement en mathématiques à l’avenir. La recherche a également révélé un lien important entre les émotions et l’apprentissage des mathématiques. Comment les jeunes Albertains décrivent-ils leur relation émotionnelle avec les mathématiques? Cet article explique les résultats d’une recherche portant sur des élèves de la maternelle à la 2e année. Notre analyse démontre que plusieurs jeunes élèves, y compris ceux de la maternelle, ont reconnu ce qui est considéré comme étant les mathématiques, mais que pour eux, les mathématiques sont surtout liés aux chiffres et aux opérations numériques. Alors que la plupart de ces élèves ont indiqué qu’ils avaient un rapport positif avec les mathématiques, certains ont décrit des liens négatifs par rapport à l’apprentissage des mathématiques à l’école.

description: Consider a set N of n (>1) stores with single-item and single-period nondeterministic demands like in a classic newsvendor setting with holding and penalty costs only. Assume a risk-pooling single-warehouse centralized inventory ordering option. Allocation of costs in the centralized inventory ordering corresponds to modelling it as a cooperative cost game whose players are the stores. It has been shown that when holding and penalty costs are identical for all subsets of stores, the game based on optimal expected costs has a non empty core (Hartman et. al., 2000, Muller \textit{et. al.}, 2002). In this paper we examine a related inventory centralization game based on demand realizations that has, in general, an empty core even with identical penalty and holding costs (Hartman and Dror, 2005). We propose a repeated cost allocation scheme for dynamic realization games based on allocation processes introduced by Lehrer (2002a). We prove that the cost subsequences of the dynamic realization game process, based on Lehrer's rules, converge almost surely to either a least square value or the core of the expected game. We extend the above results to more general dynamic cost games and relax the independence hypothesis of the sequence of players' demands at different stages.
The Dead Leave Clues: What English Grave Markers and Burial Practices Reveal About the Long Eighteenth Century
Creators: name: Petrie, Twila

Year: 2020
Subjects: History

description: Grave markers are architectural artifacts that give witness to the state of the culture of their time. They reflect style and fashion tastes, both visually and textually, from the era in which they were created. The past few decades have seen an increase in academic interest in the topic of death. However, most of the research on death in western culture has avoided the eighteenth century and focused on either the transition between the Medieval and Early Modern eras or the Victorian era. Thus, there are gaps in the knowledge about the interplay of social movements on eighteenth-century practices and expressions surrounding death. In this study, changes to the messaging of eighteenth- century grave markers and monuments in England are connected with the Enlightenment and with the overall architectural styles of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Special emphasis is given to key architects who were products of the Renaissance, Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment as well as conduits of architectural styles. In addition, the impact of the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions, as well as the rise of the Dissenting church on the location and control of burial sites is explained.

description: Preschool teachers are seen as key persons to implement inclusive education. Positive attitudes are therefore argued as playing a considerable role in implementing this educational change successfully. The aim of this study was to examine what attitudes Macedonian preschool teachers hold towards early inclusive education; which variables are related to their attitudes. We examined the impact of the teaching experience, age of the teachers, and experience of work with children with special needs. The Opinions Relevant to Integration of Students with Disabilities (ORI) was administered to 94 preschool teachers at 2 preschool institutions. The results of this study showed, in general, that the preschool teachers’ attitudes were more negative than positive towards the inclusion of students with disability (meaning of students with intellectual impairments, visual impairments, hearing impairments, autism spectrum disorder, physical impairments and ADHD). No significance was found in relation to the grade level of education of preschool teachers, occupational experience and previous teaching experience with students with disability. Les enseignants du préscolaire sont considérés comme des personnes clés dans la mise en œuvre des politiques éducatives intégratrices. Les attitudes positives jouent donc un rôle considérable dans la réalisation des changements éducatifs. L’objectif de cette étude était d’examiner les attitudes qu’ont les enseignants du préscolaire de la Macédoine face à l’éducation préscolaire inclusive et de déterminer quelles variables influençaient leurs attitudes. Nous avons examiné l’impact de l’expérience en enseignement, l’âge des enseignants et l’expérience de travail avec des enfants ayant des besoins spéciaux. Quatre-vingt-quatorze enseignants de deux institutions préscolaires ont répondu à un questionnaire portant sur leurs avis quant à l’intégration d’élèves présentant des handicaps. Les résultats indiquent que, de façon générale, les attitudes des enseignants du préscolaire étaient plus négatives que positives face à l’inclusion des élèves avec des handicaps (c’est à dire, ayant une déficience intellectuelle, visuelle, auditive ou physique; souffrant de troubles du spectre autistique ou atteints de TDAH). Nous n’avons pas trouvé de liens significatifs entre les attitudes et la scolarité des enseignants du préscolaire, leur expérience professionnelle et leur expérience avec des élèves présentant des handicaps.

description: Context: Radio astronomical receivers are now expanding their frequency range to cover large (octave) fractional bandwidths for sensitivity and spectral flexibility, which makes the design of good analogue circular polarizers challenging. Better polarization purity requires a flatter phase response over increasingly wide bandwidth, which is most easily achieved with digital techniques. They offer the ability to form circular polarization with perfect polarization purity over arbitrarily wide fractional bandwidths, due to the ease of introducing a perfect quadrature phase shift. Further, the rapid improvements in field programmable gate arrays provide the high processing power, low cost, portability and reconfigurability needed to make practical the implementation of the formation of circular polarization digitally. Aims: Here we explore the performance of a circular polarizer implemented with digital techniques. Methods: We designed a digital circular polarizer in which the intermediate frequency signals from a receiver with native linear polarizations were sampled and converted to circular polarization. The frequency-dependent instrumental phase difference and gain scaling factors were determined using an injected noise signal and applied to the two linear polarizations to equalize the transfer characteristics of the two polarization channels. This equalization was performed in 512 frequency channels over a 512 MHz bandwidth. Circular polarization was formed by quadrature phase shifting and summing the equalized linear polarization signals. Results: We obtained polarization purity of -25 dB corresponding to a D-term of 0.06 over the whole bandwidth. Conclusions: This technique enables construction of broad-band radio astronomy receivers with native linear polarization to form circular polarization for VLBI.

description: Participation in high school Physical Education (PE) contributes to the overall health of adolescents. However, many girls discontinue enrollment in PE as soon as the mandatory credits are met. Tailored PE courses designed to meet the needs and interests of girls may motivate them to continue participating in PE. This case study explored one girl’s story of her past experiences in PE, as well as her current experiences in a tailored elective PE course. We explored how this girl’s experiences with the course content, learning environment, and assessment affected her perceptions of PE. Findings emphasized the importance of variety within PE course content, a welcoming environment, fair and private assessment, and feelings of confidence, social safety, and competence for girls in PE. La participation aux cours d’éducation physique à l’école secondaire contribue à la santé générale des adolescents. Toutefois, plusieurs adolescentes arrêtent de s’inscrire aux cours d’éducation physique dès qu’elles ont obtenu le nombre obligatoire de crédits. Des cours adaptés pour répondre aux besoins et aux intérêts des filles pourraient les motiver à continuer à s’inscrire aux cours d’éducation physique. Cette étude de cas porte sur le récit d’une adolescente qui raconte, d’une part, ses expériences dans le passé avec des cours d’éducation physique et, d’autre part, ses expériences actuelles dans un cours d’éducation physique adapté et facultatif. Nous nous penchons sur ses expériences relatives au contenu du cours, au milieu d’apprentissage et à l’évaluation pour voir dans quelle mesure ces facteurs ont influencé sa perception de l’éducation physique. Les résultats soulignent l’importance, pour les adolescentes suivant des cours d’éducation physique, de la variété dans le contenu des cours, d’un milieu accueillant, d’une évaluation juste et privée, et de sentiments de confiance, sécurité et compétence.

description: In Masbate, the use of medicinal plants in ethnomedicine has long been part of history. However, ethnobotanical information is under-documented in many of its rural communities, including the municipality of Monreal. The study was conducted to document, analyze, and assess the ethnobotanical knowledge and practices on medicinal plants employed by the local residents in the selected barangays of Monreal, Ticao Island, Masbate, Philippines. Data was collected from 248 purposively selected informants through semi-structured questionnaires, informal interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs). A total of 100 identified and documented medicinal plant species distributed in 92 genera and 49 families were used to address 68 diseases in 15 different disease categories. Fabaceae was the most cited family. Majority of medicinal plants were cultivated, leaves (67%) were the most commonly used plant part, decoction (34.46%) was the usual mode of preparation, treatment was usually administered through direct application (58.27%), and bitter sensation (5.61%) was highly cited as an adverse effect. The ethnobotanical importance of medicinal plants was quantitatively analyzed using 3 ethnobotanical indices: fidelity level (FL), use value (UV), and informant consensus factor (ICF). Among all the medicinal plants in the three sampling sites, 38 species obtained a 100% FL. Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng. had the highest UV (1.48) used for the treatment of fifteen diseases. The highest ICF value (0.96) was obtained in the general symptoms and signs category. Anthropogenic destruction, particularly overharvesting, was also observed in one of the sampling sites during the field study. Thus, the results of this study serve as a basis for further phytochemical analysis and pharmacological research on important medicinal plants for drug discovery, as well as for the preservation, sustainable utilization, and management of both medicinal plants and traditional knowledge and practices on a local, regional, national, and global scale.

description: Industry 4.0 is all about doing things in a concurrent, secure, and fine-grained manner. IoT edge-sensors and their associated data play a predominant role in today's industry ecosystem. Breaching data or forging source devices after injecting advanced persistent threats (APT) damages the industry owners' money and loss of operators' lives. The existing challenges include APT injection attacks targeting vulnerable edge devices, insecure data transportation, trust inconsistencies among stakeholders, incompliant data storing mechanisms, etc. Edge-servers often suffer because of their lightweight computation capacity to stamp out unauthorized data or instructions, which in essence, makes them exposed to attackers. When attackers target edge servers while transporting data using traditional PKI-rendered trusts, consortium blockchain (CBC) offers proven techniques to transfer and maintain those sensitive data securely. With the recent improvement of edge machine learning, edge devices can filter malicious data at their end which largely motivates us to institute a Blockchain and AI aligned APT detection system. The unique contributions of the paper include efficient APT detection at the edge and transparent recording of the detection history in an immutable blockchain ledger. In line with that, the certificateless data transfer mechanism boost trust among collaborators and ensure an economical and sustainable mechanism after eliminating existing certificate authority. Finally, the edge-compliant storage technique facilitates efficient predictive maintenance. The respective experimental outcomes reveal that the proposed technique outperforms the other competing systems and models.

description: Compound Poisson distributions and signed compound Poisson measures are used for approximation of the Markov binomial distribution. The upper and lower bound estimates are obtained for the total variation, local and Wasserstein norms. In a special case, asymptotically sharp constants are calculated. For the upper bounds, the smoothing properties of compound Poisson distributions are applied. For the lower bound estimates, the characteristic function method is used.

Invasive rat colonization history and movement dynamics in the Haida Gwaii archipelago
Creators: name: Sjodin, Bryson

description: Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) and black rats (R. rattus) are among the most invasive animals on the planet with global distributions. These species are found on >80% of all oceanic islands with devastating impacts on native fauna. Nesting seabirds are particularly affected by rat invasions, as they have evolved ground-nesting strategies in the absence of a terrestrial predator. It is estimated that 60% of all seabird extinctions are due to invasive rats. On the archipelago of Haida Gwaii, BC, invasive rats are having strong detrimental effects on native seabird populations, causing several extirpations of large breeding colonies and population declines in six of the twelve seabird species present. To promote seabird recovery, Parks Canada began initiating whole-island rat eradications in 1997. Since then, there have been seven successful eradications; however, brown rats have reappeared on the Bischof Islands after two eradication attempts. To better inform future management, we investigated population history and movement dynamics of invasive rats in Haida Gwaii. 606 rats were sampled from 2008-2018, including pre- and post-eradication samples from the Bischof Islands. We used double-digest restriction-site associated DNA sequencing to genotype individuals at approximately 28 000 single nucleotide polymorphisms identified in each species. We used population genetic and spatially-explicit analyses to determine the source of re-established populations and to quantify the extent and direction of dispersal and infer levels of gene flow throughout the system. We showed that populations were largely structured based on island sampled, and we identified groups of islands that should be eradicated simultaneously to prevent reinvasion. We determined that the source of brown rats on the Bischofs was due to reinvasion from neighbouring Lyell Island and not from bait failure, and that recent invasions onto Faraday and Murchison Islands (with subsequent introduction to Hotspring Island) were also from Lyell Island. Using a previously compiled database, we identified a likely western European origin for brown rats in Haida Gwaii consistent with anecdotal evidence. These results will help facilitate future eradications and provide useful insights to prevent the further spread within the system.

description: The results of DFT GGA calculations on oxygen molecules adsorbed upon the (001) surface of uranium mononitride (UN) are presented and discussed. We demonstrate that O2 molecules oriented parallel to the substrate can dissociate either (i) spontaneously when the molecular center lies above the surface hollow site or atop N ion, (ii) with the activation barrier when a molecule sits atop the surface U ion. This explains fast UN oxidation in air.

description: Bound electron pairs formed due to the peculiarities of the band dispersion of electrons in crystals attract much interest because they can carry charge and spin even in the absence of band conductivity. However, such an important parameter of bound pairs as the effective mass is still poorly understood. We carry out this study for materials described by the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model in the electron-hole symmetric case and find a clear relationship between the effective mass and the energy of a bound pair at rest. The dependence of mass on energy has a specific form for each of different types of pairs, but a common feature is the change of the mass sign when energy passes through the middle of the band gap. The sign is negative when the energy is in the lower half of the gap, and positive in the upper half.

description: Field  experiment  was  conducted  during  2014-15to  assess  the  effect  of  combined  NP  rate  on  yield,  yield
components and grain protein of bread wheat varieties  on Robe Farms, Bale Zone of Oromyia, South-eastern
Ethiopia. The NP  rates  combinations  were N
0P0, N46P23, N92P46, N138P69, N184P92  and N
46P46  kg/ha,  .whereas
varieties  were  Kakaba,  Pavon-76  and    Dandaa.  Experiment  was  designed  in  factorial  RCBD  with  eighteen
treatments and three replications. There was significant response of wheat to fertilization. The higher levels of
N138P69 and N
184P92 kg ha
-1
gave significantly higher grain yields and grain protein than lower levels, including
state  level  recommendation of  N46P46  kg/ha.    Dandaa produced significantly higher grain yield than Pavon-76
and Kakaba.  The protein content was  similar for Dandaa and Pavon-76, but significantly higher than Kakaba.
The quadratic yield responses showed high correlation between yields and fertilizer rates for varieties (R
2
0.99,
0.98, 0.84) and  wheat  in general  (R
2
0.98).  The yield potentials of Dandaa,  Pavon-76 and  wheat in  general
were 71.4, 61.5 and 67.1 q ha

,achieved at N147P74, N133P66 and N
191P96

,
respectively. The optimum yields
of Dandaa, Pavon-76 and  wheat in general  were 71.2, 61.2 and  66.8  q/ha, achieved at N
135P68,  N121P60  and
N170P85
kg ha
-1
,
respectively. Kakaba had still not reached maximum yield. The pr ofit was higher for Dandaa
(25,659  birr/ha)  compared  to  Pavon-76  (20,608  birr/ha)  and  wheat  in  general  23,872  birr/ha.  Dandaa  and
pavon-76 were more nutrient-use efficient than Kakaba  at low to  high application rates with higher marginal
rate of returns  (MRR) and agronomic  efficiency.  Accordingly, Dandaa and pavon-76 varieties may be more
universal for adoption under varied situations. The Kakaba variety, on the other hand, showing promise only at
very  high  rate  of  fertilization  may  be  less  preferred  for  adoption  in  areas  with  low  to  medium  fertility  and
resource-poor  farmers.  The  results  indicating  the  need  for  fertilization  three  to  four  times  the  state  level
recommendations  may  be  further  validated  through  verification  trials  on  farmers’  fields  with  same  agro
ecology, in cooperation with Commercial Agricultural Development enterprises and private investors.

description: We report on a compact, highly sensitive all-fiber accelerometer suitable for low frequency and low amplitude vibration sensing. The sensing elements in the device are two short segments of strongly coupled asymmetric multicore fiber (MCF) fusion spliced at 180° with respect to each other. Such segments of MCF are sandwiched between standard single mode fibers. The reflection spectrum of the device exhibits a narrow spectrum whose height and position in wavelength changes when it is subjected to vibrations. The interrogation of the accelerometer was carried out by a spectrometer and a photodetector to measure simultaneously wavelength shift and light power variations. The device was subjected to a wide range of vibration frequencies, from 1 mHz to 30 Hz, and accelerations from 0.76 mg to 29.64 mg, and performed linearly, with a sensitivity of 2.213 nW/mg. Therefore, we believe the accelerometer reported here may represent an alternative to existing electronic and optical accelerometers, especially for low frequency and amplitude vibrations, thanks to its compactness, simplicity, cost-effectiveness, implementation easiness and high sensitivity.

description: K-EUSO (KLYPVE-EUSO) is a planned orbital mission aimed at studying ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) by detecting fluorescence and Cherenkov light emitted by extensive air showers in the nocturnal atmosphere of Earth in the ultraviolet (UV) range. The observatory is being developed within the JEM-EUSO collaboration and is planned to be deployed on the International Space Station after 2025 and operated for at least two years. The telescope, consisting of $\sim10^{5}$ independent pixels, will allow a spatial resolution of $\sim0.6$ km on the ground, and, from a 400 km altitude, it will achieve a large and full sky exposure to sample the highest energy range of the UHECR spectrum. We provide a comprehensive review of the current status of the development of the K-EUSO experiment, paying special attention to its hardware parts and expected performance. We demonstrate how results of the K-EUSO mission can complement the achievements of the existing ground-based experiments and push forward the intriguing studies of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, as well as bring new knowledge about other phenomena manifesting themselves in the atmosphere in the UV range.

description: This paper introduces AntNet, a novel approach to the adaptive learning of routing tables in communications networks. AntNet is a distributed, mobile agents based Monte Carlo system that was inspired by recent work on the ant colony metaphor for solving optimization problems. AntNet's agents concurrently explore the network and exchange collected information. The communication among the agents is indirect and asynchronous, mediated by the network itself. This form of communication is typical of social insects and is called stigmergy. We compare our algorithm with six state-of-the-art routing algorithms coming from the telecommunications and machine learning fields. The algorithms' performance is evaluated over a set of realistic testbeds. We run many experiments over real and artificial IP datagram networks with increasing number of nodes and under several paradigmatic spatial and temporal traffic distributions. Results are very encouraging. AntNet showed superior performance under all the experimental conditions with respect to its competitors. We analyze the main characteristics of the algorithm and try to explain the reasons for its superiority.

description: We set up a framework in which in-medium charmonium properties are constrained by thermal lattice QCD and subsequently implemented into a thermal rate equation enabling the comparison with experimental data in heavy-ion collisions. Specifically, we evaluate phenomenological consequences for charmonium production originating from two different scenarios in which either the free or the internal energy are identified with the in-medium 2-body potential between charm and anti-charm quarks. These two scenarios represent $J/ψ$ "melting temperatures" of approximately 1.25\,$T_c$ ("weak binding") and 2\,$T_c$ ("strong binding"), respectively. Within current uncertainties in dissociation rates and charm-quark momentum spectra, both scenarios can reproduce the centrality dependence of inclusive $J/ψ$ yields in nuclear collisions at SPS and RHIC reasonably well. However, the "strong-binding" scenario associated the the internal energy as the potential tends to better reproduce current data on transverse momentum spectra at both SPS and RHIC.
