description: Student satisfaction with the facilities of higher education institutions is known to have a positive impact onto the overall satisfaction with their course. However, different aspects of the facilities are assessed differently, and the satisfaction varies according to the specific context and prior experience. This research assesses student satisfaction in a specific case, namely facilities that have been refurbished and closed for one year and a half. In these facilities, more than 1.400 students usually have classes at post-secondary, bachelor and master level, both during daytime and at night. The courses lectured are business-related. We used a questionnaire-based survey and collected a sample of 494 respondents. We used exploratory factorial analysis and linear regression to understand which were the aspects that influenced most the overall student satisfaction with the new facilities. Results indicate that satisfaction with Classrooms Aesthetics / Size / Furniture, Classrooms Acoustics / Lightening, Temperature, Availability of Sockets, Orientation / Signage and WiFi had a positive impact in the overall satisfaction. More, in some of the dimensions, significant differences were identified according to Gender, Age, Type of Student, Course and Knowledge of the previous facilities.

description: For relatively prime positive integers $u_0$ and $r$ and for $0\le k\le n$, define $u_k:=u_0+kr$. Let $L_n:={\rm lcm}(u_0, u_1, ..., u_n)$ and let $a, l\ge 2$ be any integers. In this paper, we show that, for integers $α\geq a$ and $r\geq \max(a, l-1)$ and $n\geq lαr$, we have $$L_n\geq u_0r^{(l-1)α+a-l}(r+1)^n.$$ Particularly, letting $l=3$ yields an improvement to the best previous lower bound on $L_n$ obtained by Hong and Kominers.

description: During geomagnetic field reversals the radiation belt high-energy proton populations become depleted. Their energy spectra become softer, with the trapped particles of highest energies being lost first, and eventually recovering after a field reversal. The radiation belts rebuild in a dynamical way with the energy spectra flattening on the average during the course of many millennia, but without ever reaching complete steady state equilibrium between successive geomagnetic storm events determined by southward turnings of the IMF orientation. Considering that the entry of galactic cosmic rays and the solar energetic particles with energies above a given threshold are strongly controlled by the intensity of the northward component of the interplanetary magnetic field, we speculate that at earlier epochs when the geomagnetic dipole was reversed, the entry of these energetic particles into the geomagnetic field was facilitated when the interplanetary magnetic field was directed northward. Unlike in other complementary work where intensive numerical simulations have been used, our demonstration is based on a simple analytical extension of Stormer's theory. The access of GCR and SEP beyond geomagnetic cut-off latitudes is enhanced during epochs when the Earth's magnetic dipole is reduced, as already demonstrated earlier.

description: This article is an attempt to briefly introduce some of the results from arXiv:1011.6342 on development of a higher rank analog of the Pandharipande-Thomas theory of stable pairs on a Calabi-Yau threefold X. More precisely, we develop a moduli theory for highly frozen triples given by the data O^r-->F for r>1 where F is a sheaf of pure dimension 1. The moduli space of such objects does not naturally determine an enumerative theory. Instead, we build a zero-dimensional virtual fundamental class by truncating a deformation-obstruction theory coming from the moduli of objects in the derived category of X. We briefly include the results of calculations in this enumerative theory for local P^1 using the Graber-Pandharipande virtual localization technique. We emphasize that in this article we merely include the statement of our theorems and illustrate the final result of some of the computations. The proofs and more detailed calculations in arXiv:1011.6342 will appear elsewhere.

description: Municipalities across the globe are seeking to adapt to increasing climate change impacts, such as heavy rainfall, drought, heat waves, and floods. An important question is how to support the diffusion of innovations in local adaptation policy-making. Responses often lack consideration of the diversity of municipalities and their varying needs and capacities. This article addresses this gap by analysing how internal and external motivations for and barriers to adaptation policy and diffusion vary across municipalities of different sizes in the federal State of Hessen in Germany and in Finland. Hessen and Finland have comparable population sizes and settlement structures, but their municipalities are embedded in different multilevel governance architectures and climatic geographies. The analysis builds on quantitative data from two independent surveys among Hessian and Finnish municipalities. The results show that while there are similarities and some differences among the motivations, with municipalities in Hessen focusing more on extreme weather events and Finnish municipalities more on well-being, the barriers are strikingly similar, focusing on lack of resources as well as unclear responsibilities of different governance levels and within municipalities. Size is an important factor determining the adaptation needs and capacities of municipalities in both surveys. The findings highlight the need for a clearer adaptation governance framework, support from the closest governance level and more resources, but also context-sensitive policy support that has been discussed in theory and practice.

We include back-coupling effects of the dressed quark and gluon propagators, which also allows us to study the influence of strange quarks. For the phase diagram we find a critical end-point at mu/T = 1.9 and coinciding chiral and deconfinement phase transitions.

description: We study classical and quantum dynamics of two spinless particles confined in a quantum wire with repulsive or attractive Coulomb interaction. The interaction induces irregular dynamics in classical mechanics, which reflects on the quantum properties of the system in the energy level statistics (the signatures of quantum chaos). We investigate especially closer correspondence between the classical and quantum chaos. The present classical dynamics has some scaling property, which the quantum counterpart does not have. However, we demonstrate that the energy level statistics implies the existence of the corresponding scaling property even in the quantum system. Instead of ordinary maximum Lyapunov exponent (MLE), we introduce a novel kind of MLE, which is shown to be suitable measure of chaotic irregularity for the present classical system. We show that tendency of the energy dependence of the Brody parameter, which characterizes the energy level statistics in the quantum system, is consistent with that of the novel kind of MLE.
On the Benefit of Merging Suffix Array Intervals for Parallel Pattern Matching

description: We present parallel algorithms for exact and approximate pattern matching with suffix arrays, using a CREW-PRAM with p processors. Given a static text of length n, we first show how to compute the suffix array interval of a given pattern of length m in O(m/p + lg p + lg lg p * lg lg n) time for p <= m. For approximate pattern matching with k differences or mismatches, we show how to compute all occurrences of a given pattern in O((m^k sigma^k)/p max (k, lg lg n) + (1+m/p) lg p * lg lg n + occ} time, where sigma is the size of the alphabet and p <= sigma^k m^k. The workhorse of our algorithms is a data structure for merging suffix array intervals quickly: Given the suffix array intervals for two patterns P and P', we present a data structure for computing the interval of PP' in O(lg lg n) sequential time, or in O(1 + lg_p lg n) parallel time. All our data structures are of size O(n) bits (in addition to the suffix array).

description: Neurotrophic factors are involved in the regulation of growth, development, differentiation and survival of nerve cells, as well as in the processes of their adaptation to exogenous effects. A nerve growth factor is the dominant neurotrophic factor that acts on sympathetic and sensory neurons and provides trophic support for the basal forebrain neurons. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor – one of the most studied neurotrophic factors of the central nervous system, can cause the growth of neurons, axons and dendrites, and is also involved in the formation of synapses. Many mental and neurodegenerative disorders are associated with altered levels of nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor and altered expression of their receptors. It has also been shown that both excessive and insufficient expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor is observed not only in children with neurodegenerative and mental disorders but also in elderly people suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Elevated levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, obviously, play a compensatory trophic role for the survival of neurons in the development of neurodegenerative disorders. Key words: neurotrophins, synapses, nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, neurodegenerative diseases, cholinergic neurons, low molecular weight mimetics, neurogenesis.

Theory for large amplitude electrostatic ion shocks in quantum plasmas

description: We present a generalized nonlinear theory for large amplitude electrostatic (ES) ion shocks in collisional quantum plasmas composed of mildly coupled degenerate electron fluids of arbitrary degeneracy and non-degenerate strongly correlated ion fluids with arbitrary atomic number. For our purposes, we use the inertialess electron momentum equation including the electrostatic, pressure gradient and relevant quantum forces, as well as a generalized viscoelastic momentum (GVEM) equation for strongly correlated non-degenerate ions. The ion continuity equation, in the quasi-neutral approximation, then closes our nonlinear system of equations. When the electric field is eliminated from the GVEM equation by using the inertialess electron momentum equation, we then obtain a generalized GVEM and the ion continuity equations exhibiting nonlinear couplings between the ion number density and the ion fluid velocity. The pair of nonlinear equations is numerically solved to study the dynamics of arbitrary large amplitudes planar and non-planar ES shocks arising from the balance between harmonic generation nonlinearities and the ion fluid viscosity for a wide range of the plasma mass-density and the ion atomic-number that are relevant for the cores of giant planets (viz. the Jupiter) and compact stars (viz. white dwarfs). Our numerical results reveal that the ES shock density profiles strongly depend on the plasma number density and composition (the atomic-number) parameters. Furthermore, density perturbations propagate with Mach numbers which significantly dependent on the studied plasma fractional parameters. It is concluded that the dynamics of the ES shocks in the super-dense degenerate plasma is quite different in the core of a white dwarf star from that in the lower density crust region.

description: We investigate the spontaneous emission of a two-level atom placed in the vicinities of a plasmonic cloak composed of a coated sphere. In the dipole approximation, we show that the spontaneous emission rate can be reduced to its vacuum value provided the atomic emission frequency lies within the plasmonic cloak frequency operation range. Considering the current status of plasmonic cloaking devices, this condition may be fulfilled for many atomic species so that we argue that atoms with a sufficiently strong transition can be used as quantum, local probes for the efficiency of plasmonic cloaks.

description: In a recent paper we have formulated a theory of non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics in the presence of an inhomogeneous Huttner-Barnett dielectric. Here we generalize the formalism to anisotropic materials and show how it may be modified to include conducting surfaces. We start with the derivation of the photon propagator for a slab of material and use it to work out the energy-level shift near a medium whose conductivity in the direction parallel to the surface far exceeds that in the direction perpendicular to the surface. We investigate the influence of the anisotropy of the material's electromagnetic response on the Casimir-Polder shifts, both analytically and numerically, and show that it may have a significant impact on the atom-surface interaction, especially in the non-retarded regime, i.e. for small atom-surface separations. Our results for the energy shift may be used to estimate the Casimir-Polder force acting on quantum objects close to multilayers of graphene or graphite. They are particularly important for the case of trapped cold molecules whose dispersive interactions with surfaces often fall within the non-retarded regime where the anisotropy of the material strongly influences the Casimir-Polder force. We also give a formula for the change in the spontaneous decay rate of an excited atom or molecule near an anisotropically conducting surface.

title: The diet of a small carnivore in a recovering semi-arid landscape
Creators: name: Burton, Helen
Publisher: name: Oxford Brookes University
Year: 2020

description: The aim of this research is to examine the diet of the small carnivores living in a newly created nature reserve in the Nama-Karoo. The Nama-Karoo is a semi-desert habitat, with many plants and animals which are highly adapted to the extreme temperatures and unpredictable rainfall. With relatively few large predators, small to medium sized carnivores are abundant and are likely the key drivers of ecosystem functions, although their ecology here is poorly known. As opportunistic foragers with a varied diet, small carnivores have the potential to be useful biodiversity indicators in the area through analyses of their diets. In this study, scats of target species will be collected and analysed for their contents, using both morphological and molecular techniques. For morphological analysis, scat contents will be sorted by prey item, and percentage occurrence and mass will be used to calculate their relative importance in diet. For molecular analysis, we will use Illumina metabarcoding to sequence the DNA of all the prey species in the samples. It is likely that key prey species will be those most available in the area at that time, and that molecular analysis will identify a wider range of species. This will create a baseline dietary ‘reference index’ which can be used for ongoing monitoring, and add to knowledge of the species communities and interactions in this area.

description:
Luminance is a collection of hybrid poetry and essays that pushes against the boundaries of genre to explore meaning made in the interstices, or the space between. Drawing from logical and lyrical ways of knowing, the pieces in this collection display openness of form through fragmentation, collage, association, and resonance while maintaining precision and specificity in imagery and language. Isolated images and modes of image making play a central role in this work, informed by memory and personal experience. However, a shifting, non-specific point of view acts as a refusal of static identity. Light, photography, natural history, scientific collection and preservation, motherhood, the drive to make art, and oceanic and astronomic themes recur organically throughout poetry and prose set a sea of white space, punctuated by scientific illustration. The white space allows an entry to make the space between—the silence and the breath between words—not emptiness but potential.

description: Quantum Dimer Models (QDM) arise as low energy effective models for frustrated magnets. Some of these models have proven successful in generating a scenario for exotic spin liquid phases with deconfined spinons. Doping, i.e. the introduction of mobile holes, has been considered within the QDM framework and partially studied. A fundamental issue is the possible existence of a superconducting phase in such systems and its properties. For this purpose, the question of the statistics of the mobile holes (or "holons") shall be addressed first. Such issues are studied in details in this paper for generic doped QDM defined on the most common two-dimensional lattices (square, triangular, honeycomb, kagome,...) and involving general resonant loops. We prove a general "statistical transmutation" symmetry of such doped QDM by using composite operators of dimers and holes. This exact transformation enables to define duality equivalence classes (or families) of doped QDM, and provides the analytic framework to analyze dynamical statistical transmutations. We discuss various possible superconducting phases of the system. In particular, the possibility of an exotic superconducting phase originating from the condensation of (bosonic) charge-e holons is examined. A numerical evidence of such a superconducting phase is presented in the case of the triangular lattice, by introducing a novel gauge-invariant holon Green's function. We also make the connection with a Bose-Hubbard model on the kagome lattice which gives rise, as an effective model in the limit of strong interactions, to a doped QDM on the triangular lattice.

description: Leading 't Hooft coupling corrections to the photoemission rate of the planar limit of a strongly-coupled {\cal {N}}=4 SYM plasma are investigated using the gauge/string duality. We consider the full order α'^3 type IIB string theory corrections to the supergravity action, including higher order terms with the Ramond-Ramond five-form field strength. We extend our previous results presented in arXiv:1110.0526. Photoemission rates depend on the 't Hooft coupling, and their curves suggest an interpolating behaviour from strong towards weak coupling regimes. Their slopes at zero light-like momentum give the electrical conductivity as a function of the 't Hooft coupling, in full agreement with our previous results of arXiv:1108.6306. Furthermore, we also study the effect of corrections beyond the large N limit.

description: In this work we show that a tunable coupling between microwave resonators can be engineered by means of simple Josephson junctions circuits, such as dc- and rf-SQUIDs. We show that by controlling the time dependence of the coupling it is possible to switch on and off and modulate the cross-talk, boost the interaction towards the ultrastrong regime, as well as to engineer red and blue sideband couplings, nonlinear photon hopping and classical gauge fields. We discuss how these dynamically tunable superconducting circuits enable key applications in the fields of all optical quantum computing, continuous variable quantum information and quantum simulation - all within the reach of state of the art in circuit-QED experiments.

description: The influence of edge roughness in angle resolved scatterometry at periodically structured surfaces is investigated. A good description of the radiation interaction with structured surfaces is crucial for the understanding of optical imaging processes like, e.g. in photolithography. We compared an analytical 2D model and a numerical 3D simulation with respect to the characterization of 2D diffraction of a line grating involving structure roughness. The results show a remarkably high agreement. The diffraction intensities of a rough structure can therefore be estimated using the numerical simulation result of an undisturbed structure and an analytically derived correction function. This work allows to improve scatterometric results for the case of practically relevant 2D structures.
title: ADAPTATION AND HETEROGENEITY OF BURKHOLDERIA CEPACIA COMPLEX STRAINS POPULATION IN CONDITIONS OF CHRONIC INFECTION IN CYSTIC FIBROSIS

description: Cystic fibrosis is the most common hereditary disease, the life expectancy and prognosis of which is determined by the severity of respiratory pathology. One of the most prognostically unfavorable pathogens in this disease are bacteria Burkholderia cepacia complex. With bronchopulmonary colonization, they can lead to the development of “cepacia” - a syndrome that is one of the main causes of mortality in patients. From the beginning of colonization until its completion, a significant number of adaptive changes aimed at its preservation occur in the microbial population. One of such processes can be considered the phenomenon of heterogeneity. The review shows the experience of European researchers, reflecting the microbiological and clinical significance of this phenomenon, as well as a number of other adaptation processes. It is shown that strains isolated at the beginning and end of infection differ in their morphological and cultural properties, sensitivity to antibiotics and ultraviolet radiation, ability to adhesion and invasion, as well as the production of O-antigen and the ability to utilize iron. Key words: heterogeneity, Burkholderia cepacia complex, cystic fibrosis, adaptation, O-antigen.

title: The Presence of Rhetoric: A Content Analysis of the Estonian American National Council’s Documents from Estonia, 1986-1989
Creators: name: Redlinger, Michael
Publisher: name: Western Washington University

description:
In 1991, Estonia formally gained its independence following years of public protest against the Soviet Union and its policies. In 1987, Soviet plans to expand phosphate mining operations in Estonia were made public on live television. That year, independence advocates began to incorporate the environmental grievances of protesters, who were concerned with severe and increasing industrial pollution, into underground publications and protest speeches. Protests in 1987 helped lead to the cancellation of Soviet plans to expand open-pit phosphate mining operations in the Rakvere area -- an important headwater region in eastern Estonia. The project’s cancellation by the Soviet government marked a tangible victory for protesters, and mining and pollution-related grievances ostensibly remained a major aspect of the pro-independence agenda for years to come. Yet, despite the Soviet government’s cancellation of the Rakvere project, the Estonian public was not appeased. Although some scholars have indicated that West-influenced environmental rhetoric played a role in the Estonian independence movement’s agenda, my thesis is that nationalistic rhetoric, as propagated in the West by the Estonian American National Council, was more prevalent than environmental concerns, which played a relatively smaller part in the independence movement. Directed content analysis of the Estonian American National Council’s published documents from 1986-1989 yields inconclusive results. However, nationalistic rhetorical themes far outnumber environmental themes throughout the set of documents, suggesting that environmental grievances may have been subordinated to a predominant nationalistic narrative within the documents. Further research could deepen understanding by analyzing a wider set of Estonian and Russian-language documents.

description: For any reduced crystallographic root system, we introduce a unitary representation of the (extended) affine Hecke algebra given by discrete difference-reflection operators acting in a Hilbert space of complex functions on the weight lattice. It is shown that the action of the center under this representation is diagonal on the basis of Macdonald spherical functions. As an application, we compute an explicit Pieri formula for these spherical functions.

title: Gender Stereotype and Spatial Reasoning: the Milankovitch Cycles
Creators: name: Gustovich, Kristina
Publisher: name: Western Washington University

description:
Stereotype threat, a phenomenon in which learners feel at risk of confirming negative stereotypes about their abilities, is often associated with spatial reasoning abilities in geoscience and has a disproportionately negative effect on women. This study examines how students’ growth or fixed mindsets mediate or amplify the effects of stereotype threat regarding self-perception of their spatial skills and learning how Earth’s cyclical orbital geometry influences its climate.

Undergraduate, introductory-level Geology students at Western Washington University were given a Pre-Test and Post-Test, a spatial reasoning test, and an assessment of their spatial reasoning abilities. Of the 154 participants, 41 had a Fixed Mindset, and 113 had a Growth Mindset. Regression analyses were performed to examine if the message to the Treatment Group: “The results of the Spatial Reasoning Task usually show a difference in performance by gender. It is thought that men tend to outperform women on spatial reasoning tasks,” triggered significant differences in students’ performance and perceptions of competency.

Students with higher scores on the Spatial Reasoning Task earned higher Milankovitch Cycle Post-Test scores, and students with a Growth Mindset tended to have higher Post-Test scores than those with a Fixed Mindset. Participants in the Control and Treatment groups had similar scores on the Post-Test, though exposure to the stereotyped message (membership in the Treatment Group) had a more negative influence on women’s scores than a positive one on men’s scores. Of women in the Treatment Group, those with a Growth Mindset earned higher Post-Test scores, suggesting a Growth Mindset can offer resiliency to stereotyped messages. Stereotype lift was not evident in Post-Test scores, as men who received the stereotyped message who had a Fixed Mindset did not earn significantly higher scores than those with a Growth Mindset.

Gender was the weakest predictor of improvement in score from Pre-Test to Post-Test for the Control group, supporting the idea that no inherent difference exists in students’ scientific learning abilities based on gender. Given these results, instructors are encouraged to offer students practice with spatial reasoning skills as high scores on spatial reasoning tasks strongly predicted high scores on related climate science content. Furthermore, instructors should foster students’ Growth Mindsets toward learning spatial reasoning skills productively, and equitably, as stereotyped messages were shown to impact both students’ scores and self-perceptions.

description: Phonons - quanta of crystal lattice vibrations - reveal themselves in all electrical, thermal and optical phenomena in materials. Nanostructures open exciting opportunities for tuning the phonon energy spectrum and related properties of materials for specific applications. The possibilities for controlled modification of the phonon transport and phonon interactions - referred to as phonon engineering or phononics - increase even further with the advent of graphene and two-dimensional van der Waals materials. We describe methods for tuning the phonon spectrum and controlling the thermal properties of the low-dimensional materials via ribbon edges, grain boundaries, isotope composition, defect concentration, and atomic-plane orientation.
