Hearing books read in the first language : its association with reading achievement in the second language
Creators: name: Walters, Ken
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to answer the question, "Does reading books to E.S.L. students in their first language have a greater association with gains in reading achievement than reading books to E.S.L. students in their second language?" Another purpose of the study was to determine whether reading stories to children in Chinese is associated with first language borrowing habits, and whether a teacher's attitude toward First Language Collections influences children's borrowing of first language books. A research design was developed that consisted of one independent variable and two dependent variables. The independent variable, hearing stories read, consisted of Treatment 1, hearing stories read in Chinese; Treatment 2, hearing stories read in English, and Treatment 3, hearing no stories read (control group) . The dependent variables were: 1) reading achievement as measured by the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test Level A, forms 1 and 2, Canadian edition, 1980; and 2) the number of Chinese books borrowed by students. The study was carried out with 39 students, ages 9 to 12, at a school located in the core of Vancouver's Chinese community. The treatment took place during two 40 minute periods a week for a duration of three months. Two one-tailed T-tests were applied to the data, firstly to test for a significant difference in reading achievement between the means of the three groups, and secondly to test for a significant difference between the pretest and posttest means within each group. ANOVAS were applied to test for a significant difference between the three groups in borrowing habits, and to test for a difference in borrowing habits between the two classes. All three groups—the group hearing Chinese stories, the group hearing English stories and the control group made significant gains in reading achievement (p < .05). The group hearing Chinese stories did not make greater gains in reading achievement than the group hearing English stories. There was no significant difference between the gains in any of the three groups. There was no significant difference between the borrowing habits of the three groups. There was, however, a significant difference (p < .05) between the number of books borrowed by class. Because one teacher held negative attitudes towards first language books, this strongly suggests that a teacher's attitude toward first language books has a profound effect on the first language borrowing habits of students. This study adds important information to the debate on how schools should respond to the cultural and linguistic diversity of their students. The students hearing Chinese stories learned English equally as well as those hearing English stories, and had the added advantage of being exposed, in a school setting, to their own culture.

description: We consider the solution $\{u(t,x);t\geq0,x\in\mathbf{R}\}$ of a system of $d$ linear stochastic wave equations driven by a $d$-dimensional symmetric space-time Lévy noise. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition on the characteristic exponent of the Lévy noise, which describes exactly when the zero set of $u$ is non-void. We also compute the Hausdorff dimension of that zero set when it is non-empty. These results will follow from more general potential-theoretic theorems on the level sets of Lévy sheets.

description: Energy-frontier accelerators provide powerful tools performing high precision measurements confirming the fundamental of the physics and broadening new research horizons. Such machines are either driven by circular or linear accelerators. The circular machines, having the center-mass (CM) energy values reaching 200 GeV (for leptons) and above, experience beam energy loss and quality dilution, for example, due to synchrotron radiation, limiting the overall CM energy achievable and requiring a constant energy top-up to compensate the loss and the beam quality dilution. Linear colliders overcome these limitations, while the finite capabilities of generating high average current beams limits the luminosity. This is partially compensated by the quality of the colliding beams. In this work, we suggest a novel design of circular-linear accelerator based on the merging of the "non-emitting", low-energy storage rings and energy recovery linear accelerators. We suggest using the recently considered dual-axis asymmetric cavities to enable the operation of such a system, and in particular the energy recovery from spent, high-intensity beams. The machine considered, under the scope of the SNOWMASS-2021 initiative, can be potentially used to reach ultimate energy frontiers in high-energy physics as well as to drive next generation light sources. The merging of circular and linear systems, and applications of dual axes cavities, should allow the maintaining of high beam quality, high luminosity, and high energy efficiency - "The Best of Both Words". It also offers a flexible energy management, opening clear opportunity for reducing the running cost. We note that the numbers shown in the paper are for illustration purpose and can be improved further.

Wind and PV solar power plants present vastly different grounding requirements from that of a traditional power plant or a substation. Much of these challenges have to do with the large area covered by the plants, but also with the varying soil and fault conditions over this area. The IEEE Wind and Solar Plant Collector Design Working Group recently published new IEEE guides on wind (IEEE Std 2760) and solar (IEEE Std 2778) power plant grounding design and analysis, we look to share recommended approaches with individuals designing these facilities or analyzing their grounding systems. Half of this tutorial will present the key aspects regarding wind power plant grounding, and half will focus on solar power plant grounding. Each half will include a presentation of a sample project and the steps taken in the design and analysis process.

description: We conduct numerical experiments to determine the density probability distribution function (PDF) produced in supersonic, isothermal, self-gravitating turbulence of the sort that is ubiquitous in star-forming molecular clouds. Our experiments cover a wide range of turbulent Mach number and virial parameter, allowing us for the first time to determine how the PDF responds as these parameters vary, and we introduce a new diagnostic, the dimensionless star formation efficiency versus density ($ε_{\rm ff}(s)$) curve, which provides a sensitive diagnostic of the PDF shape and dynamics. We show that the PDF follows a universal functional form consisting of a log-normal at low density with two distinct power law tails at higher density; the first of these represents the onset of self-gravitation, and the second reflects the onset of rotational support. Once the star formation efficiency reaches a few percent, the PDF becomes statistically steady, with no evidence for secular time-evolution at star formation efficiencies from about five to 20 percent. We show that both the Mach number and the virial parameter influence the characteristic densities at which the log-normal gives way to the first power-law, and the first to the second, and we extend (for the former) and develop (for the latter) simple theoretical models for the relationship between these density thresholds and the global properties of the turbulent medium.

description: This paper describes application of information granulation theory, on the design of rock engineering flowcharts. Firstly, an overall flowchart, based on information granulation theory has been highlighted. Information granulation theory, in crisp (non-fuzzy) or fuzzy format, can take into account engineering experiences (especially in fuzzy shape-incomplete information or superfluous), or engineering judgments, in each step of designing procedure, while the suitable instruments modeling are employed. In this manner and to extension of soft modeling instruments, using three combinations of Self Organizing Map (SOM), Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (NFIS), and Rough Set Theory (RST) crisp and fuzzy granules, from monitored data sets are obtained. The main underlined core of our algorithms are balancing of crisp(rough or non-fuzzy) granules and sub fuzzy granules, within non fuzzy information (initial granulation) upon the open-close iterations. Using different criteria on balancing best granules (information pockets), are obtained. Validations of our proposed methods, on the data set of in-situ permeability in rock masses in Shivashan dam, Iran have been highlighted.

description: Neutron star tidal deformability extracted from gravitational wave data provides a novel probe to the interior neutron star structures and the associated nuclear equation of state (EOS). Instead of the popular composition of nucleons and leptons in neutron stars, we include hyperons and examine the role of hyperons in the tidal deformability and its impact on the symmetry energy in a relativistic mean-field approach with the density-dependent parametrizations. The hyperons are found to have significant impact on the deformability, correlated sensitively with the onset density and fraction of hyperons in neutron star matter. Moderately lower onset density of hyperons can yield considerable modification to the tidal deformability and shift its inference on the nuclear EOS. The future measurements of the tidal deformability at multi-fiducial star masses are anticipated to lift the degeneracy between the contributions from the hyperon component and symmetry energy.

description: This article implements a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based deep learning model for solar-wind prediction. Images from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) at 193Ȧ wavelength are used for training. Solar-wind speed is taken from the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) located at the Lagrangian L1 point. The proposed CNN architecture is designed from scratch for training with four years' data. The solar-wind has been ballistically traced back to the Sun assuming a constant speed during propagation, to obtain the corresponding coronal intensity data from AIA images. This forecasting scheme can predict the solar-wind speed well with a RMSE of 76.3 km\s and an overall correlation coefficient of 0.57 for the year 2018, while significantly outperforming benchmark models. The threat score for the model is around 0.46 in identifying the HSEs with zero false alarms.

description: Our model comprehensively simulates modern nanoscale semiconductor microcavities incorporating cavity quantum electrodynamics within both the weak and strong coupling regimes, using on-resonant laser excitation and nonresonant excitation due to a wetting layer. For weak coupling, the most significant effect is photon antibunching with nonresonant emission. We investigate how the antibunching characteristics change as the cavity finesse is increased towards the strong coupling regime. Antibunching can also be observed in a strongly coupled system with resonant excitation, using the photon blockade mechanism which has been demonstrated in atom systems. We calculate what cavity parameters are required to observe this effect. Experimentally these studies are equivalent to nonlinear pump probe measurements, where a strong pump, either resonant or nonresonant, is used to excite the coupled system, and the resulting state is characterized using a weak, resonant probe beam.

description: The cascaded decay in a four-level quantum emitter is a well established mechanism to generate polarization entangled photon pairs, the building blocks of many applications in quantum technologies. The four most prominent maximally entangled photon pair states are the Bell states. In a typical experiment based on an undriven emitter only one type of Bell state entanglement can be observed in a given polarization basis. Other types of Bell state entanglement in the same basis can be created by continuously driving the system by an external laser. In this work we propose a protocol for time-dependent entanglement switching in a four-level quantum emitter--cavity system that can be operated by changing the external driving strength. By selecting different two-photon resonances between the laser-dressed states, we can actively switch back and forth between the different types of Bell state entanglement in the same basis as well as between entangled and nonentangled photon pairs. This remarkable feature demonstrates the possibility to achieve a controlled, time-dependent manipulation of the entanglement type that could be used in many innovative applications.

description: We have deduced the structure of the \ce{bromobenzene}--\ce{I2} heterodimer and the \ce{(bromobenzene)2} homodimer inside helium droplets using a combination of laser-induced alignment, Coulomb explosion imaging, and three-dimensional ion imaging. The complexes were fixed in a variety of orientations in the laboratory frame, then in each case multiply ionized by an intense laser pulse. A three dimensional ion imaging detector, including a Timepix3 detector allowed us to measure the correlations between velocity vectors of different fragments and, in conjunction with classical simulations, work backward to the initial structure of the complex prior to explosion. For the heterodimer, we find that the \ce{I2} molecular axis intersects the phenyl ring of the bromobenzene approximately perpendicularly. The homodimer has a stacked parallel structure, with the two bromine atoms pointing in opposite directions. These results illustrate the ability of Coulomb explosion imaging to determine the structure of large complexes, and point the way toward real-time measurements of bimolecular reactions inside helium droplets.

description: Oscillatory zoning, i.e. self-formation of spatial quasi-periodic oscillations in the composition of solid growing from aqueous solution, is analyzed theoretically. Keeping in mind systems like (Ba,Sr)SO4 we propose a 1D model that takes into account the nonideality of the solid solution and the system asymmetry, in particular, reflecting itself in different solubilities for such systems. Based on a linear stability analysis different parameter regions can be identified. Even an ideal solution solution with a sufficiently large asymmetry can display oscillatory zoning. Numerical simulations complement the linear stability analysis as well as the qualitative consideration of the instability development and reveal the nature of the limit cycles.

description: Structural proof theory is praised for being a symbolic approach to reasoning and proofs, in which one can define schemas for reasoning steps and manipulate proofs as a mathematical structure. For this to be possible, proof systems must be designed as a set of rules such that proofs using those rules are correct by construction. Therefore, one must consider all ways these rules can interact and prove that they satisfy certain properties which makes them "well-behaved". This is called the meta-theory of a proof system. Meta-theory proofs typically involve many cases on structures with lots of symbols. The majority of cases are usually quite similar, and when a proof fails, it might be because of a sub-case on a very specific configuration of rules. Developing these proofs by hand is tedious and error-prone, and their combinatorial nature suggests they could be automated. There are various approaches on how to automate, either partially or completely, meta-theory proofs. In this paper, I will present some techniques that I have been involved in for facilitating meta-theory reasoning.

The home backgrounds of writers

Year: 2010

description: This study investigates whether or not some characteristics of students home environments are associated with writing skill. A sample of 160 grade six and seven students who were judged by their teachers as more effective or less effective writers was selected from four elementary schools in a large British Columbia Interior School District. The parents of students in the sample were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning the home situation and experiences of their children. As a way of gathering other important information, a stratified random sample of ten parents was selected from the larger sample to be interviewed concerning other aspects of their home situations. Questionnaire results were presented in tabular form with frequencies and percentages reported for the responses of both groups. Differences between the responses from parents of more effective writers and responses from parents of less effective writers were then analyzed for significance by a Kolmogorov-Smirnov Two-Sample test. This study suggests that a good environment for an aspiring young writer would be a home in which 1) reading and writing activities take place regularly and are often discussed, 2) parents and siblings regularly model language skills and have positive attitudes toward the acquisition of these skills 3) the educational level and occupational skill level of parents are high and reading and writing materials are readily accessible; and k) a portion of the writer's leisure time is devoted to quiet, indoor, creative activities including reading and writing while excluding large amounts of television viewing.

description: This paper attempts to take into account the different approaches to the  study of developmental dyslexia that have been carried out during the  centuries in order to make clear the nature of this deficit that,  because of its manifold causes, has been often defined with the name of  dyslexic syndrome and to comprehend the evolution of the studies in this  field. Various models of reading are described with the purpose of  offering an account for how the process of reading happens both in  normal and dyslexic readers. The aim is to provide a general idea of  this complex reading disability and to consider developmental dyslexia  in its different effects depending on the mother tongue of the dyslexic  and on the seriousness of the deficit. An important point is represented  by the analysis of the neurological, genetic, psychological and  linguistic causes of this problem according to latest scientific  research.

description: Measurements of J/$ψ$ production by the PHENIX experiment in p+p, d+Au, Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV are reviewed. The results show a suppression beyond what can be explained by cold nuclear matter effects in the most central Au+Au and to a lesser extent in Cu+Cu collisions. In addition, the suppression observed at mid rapidity in Au+Au is smaller than at forward rapidity, a tendency opposite to what is expected from the higher energy density at mid rapidity. Regeneration, a possible explanation, can be tested by measuring the elliptic flow parameter v$_2$ of J/$ψ$.

description: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) may cause severe loss of vision or blindness particularly in elderly people. Exudative AMD is characterized by angiogenesis of blood vessels growing from underneath the macula, crossing the blood-retina barrier (that comprise Bruch's membrane, BM, and the retinal pigmentation epithelium RPE), leaking blood and fluid into the retina and knocking off photoreceptors. Here, we simulate a computational model of angiogenesis from the choroid blood vessels via a cellular Potts model, as well as BM, RPE cells, drusen deposits and photoreceptors. Our results indicate that improving AMD may require fixing the impaired lateral adhesion between RPE cells and with BM, as well as diminishing Vessel Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Jagged proteins that affect the Notch signaling pathway. Our numerical simulations suggest that anti-VEGF and anti-Jagged therapies could temporarily halt exudative AMD while addressing impaired cellular adhesion could be more effective on a longer time span.

Clitics, pronouns, noun phrases and the Head-Complement parameter

description: La posizione dell'accento principale (i.e. prominenza relativa)  gioca un ruolo nell'acquisizione del linguaggio da parte dei bambini e  sembra determinare la posizione dei complementi rispetto alla testa  (Nespor et al. 1996). I pronomi clitici italiani costituiscono un  problema per questa ipotesi dal momento che hanno la funzione di  complemento ma la loro posizione è diversa da quella dei gruppi nominali  complemento in quanto in genere precedono il verbo invece di seguirlo.  In questo articolo, si dimostra che se l'analisi proposta in Monachesi  (2005) viene accettata, il problema non sussiste dal momento che i  clitici vengono analizzati come informazione codificata in tratti  presenti a livello verbale (come risultato di un'operazione lessicale).  Questa informazione viene realizzata ('spell-out') al livello  dell'interfaccia tra morfologia e fonologia. Pronomi e gruppi nominali  sono quindi elementi con un peso fonologico e quindi la loro posizione  viene determinata in sintassi. Invece i clitici sono elementi senza  accento e sono considerati tratti che vengono realizzati a livello  morfofonologico: strategie differenti sono quindi in atto   nell'acquisizione da parte dei bambini.

Quantum computation with the Jaynes-Cummings model

description: In this paper, we propose a method for building a two-qubit gate with the Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM). In our scheme, we construct a qubit from a pair of optical paths where a photon is running. Generating Knill, Laflamme and Milburn's nonlinear sign-shift gate by the JCM, we construct the conditional sign-flip gate, which works with small error probability in principle. We also discuss two experimental setups for realizing our scheme. In the first experimental setup, we make use of coherent lights to examine whether or not our scheme works. In the second experimental setup, an optical loop circuit made out of the polarizing beam splitter and the Pockels cell takes an important role in the cavity.

De la "Carmen" de Mérimée a la "Conchita" de Buñuel en Ese obscuro objeto del deseo
Creators: name: Poyato, Pedro

description: Questo articolo ricostruisce la linea di personaggi femminili della  letteratura occidentale nella quale può essere fatta rientrare la  Conchita del film di Luis Buñuel Quell'oscuro oggetto del desiderio (1977).  Partendo dall'antecedente mitologico di Pandora, e passando per altri  personaggi femminili con caratteristiche simili della cultura medievale,  si giunge fino alla Carmen della novella omonima di Prosper Mérimée  (1854). Punto di incrocio tra quest'ultima e il personaggio dell'ultimo  film del cineasta spagnolo, è la protagonista del romanzo di Pierre  Louÿs La femme et le pantin (1898), di cui appunto Quell'oscuro oggetto del desiderio è una versione cinematografica. Conchita, sia del libro sia del film, è  dunque continuatrice di una tradizione che vede nella figura muliebre  la portatrice dei mali del mondo. Rispetto a questa tradizione,  tuttavia, Buñuel si differenzia nella descrizione del personaggio  maschile, vittima più che della donna, della sua impotenza a porre in  atto il proprio desiderio: si giunge così ad una "decostruzione" del  mito della femme fatale.

Discovery of Methanimine Megamasers Toward Compact Obscured Galaxy Nuclei

description: We present the first search for the 5.29 GHz methanimine($\rm{CH}_2\rm{NH}$) $1_{10}-1_{11}$ transition toward a sample of galaxy nuclei. We target seven galaxies that host Compact Obscured Nuclei (CONs) with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. These galaxies are characterized by Compton-thick cores. $\rm{CH}_2\rm{NH}$ emission is detected toward six CONs. The brightness temperatures measured toward Arp220 indicate maser emission. Isotropic luminosities of the $\rm{CH}_2\rm{NH}$ transition, from all sources where it is detected, exceed 1 L$_{\odot}$ and thus may be considered megamasers. We also detect formaldehyde ($\rm{H}_2\rm{CO}$) emission toward three CONs. The isotropic $\rm{CH}_2\rm{NH}$ luminosities are weakly correlated with the infrared luminosity of the host galaxy and strongly correlated with OH megamaser luminosities from the same galaxies. Non-LTE radiative transfer models suggest that the maser is pumped by the intense mm/submm radiation field of the CONs. Our study suggests that $\rm{CH}_2\rm{NH}$ megamasers are linked to the nuclear processes within 100 pc of the Compton Thick nucleus within CONs.

description: We report the details of an XMM observation of the cluster of galaxies ZW 1305.4+2941 at the intermediate redshift of z=0.241, increasing the small number of interesting X-ray constraints on properties of ~3 keV systems above z=0.1. Based on the 45 ks XMM observation, we find that within a radius of 228 kpc the cluster has an unabsorbed X-ray flux of 2.07 +/- 0.06 x 10^{-13} erg/cm^2/s, a temperature of kT = 3.17 +/-0.19 keV, in good agreement with the previous ROSAT determination, and an abundance of 0.93 (+0.24,-0.29} solar. Within r_500 = 723 +/- 6 kpc the rest-frame bolometric X-ray luminosity is L_X (r_500)= 1.25 +/- 0.16 x 10^{44} erg/s. The cluster obeys the scaling relations for L_X, T and the velocity dispersion derived at intermediate redshift for kT < 4 keV, for which we provide new fits for all literature objects. The mass derived from an isothermal NFW model fit is, M_vir = 2.77 +/- 0.21 x 10^{14} solar masses, with a concentration parameter, c = 7.9 +/- 0.5.

description: Although blockchain-based digital services promise trust, accountability, and transparency, multiple paradoxes between blockchains and GDPR have been highlighted in the recent literature. Some of the recent literature also proposed possible solutions to these paradoxes. This article aims to conduct a systematic literature review on GDPR compliant blockchains and synthesize the findings. In particular, the goal was to identify 1) the GDPR articles that have been explored in prior literature; 2) the relevant research domains that have been explored, and 3) the research gaps. Our findings synthesized that the blockchains relevant GDPR articles can be categorized into six major groups, namely data deletion and modification (Article 16, 17, and 18), protection by design by default (Article 25), responsibilities of controllers and processors (Article 24, 26, and 28), consent management (Article 7), data processing principles and lawfulness (Article 5,6 and 12), and territorial scope (Article 3). We also found seven research domains where GDPR compliant blockchains have been discussed, which include IoT, financial data, healthcare, personal identity, online data, information governance, and smart city. From our analysis, we have identified a few key research gaps and present a future research direction.
