description: The war diaries are official records kept by the Battalions during a one month period. They contain the daily orders, correspondence, newsletters, and an intelligence log detailing troop activities, locations, and weather conditions. The war diaries detail the activities and movement of the 1st Battalion from training in Canada and England to active duty on the Western Front and their return to Victoria in January 1946. This diary was kept while at Hilsea Barracks in Portsmith, England. It has entries about Private Glover (the soldier who has been either A.W.L. or imprisoned since coming overseas) being sent to Headley Downs to serve a 23 month detention, a lecture about the war in Italy, participating in various training programs and exercises including an endurance test, a Remembrance Day ceremony, inspections, the officers having a dance with the decorative theme being a Canadian Destroyer because they had ship props from a film they were shooting called "In Which We Serve", a sniper school, a wireless refresher course for officers, and practicing passing information, among other activities and information. Includes appendices covering orders, strength returns (daily & weekly), training syllabi, administrative memos, progress reports, documents for Pte. Glover case, exercises, and operational instructions.

description: Genetic association studies are becoming an important component of medical research. To cite one instance, pharmacogenomics which is gaining prominence as a useful tool for personalized medicine is heavily reliant on results from genetic association studies. Meta-analysis of genetic association studies is being increasingly used to assess phenotypic differences between genotype groups. When the underlying genetic model is assumed to be dominant or recessive, assessing the phenotype differences based on summary statistics, reported for individual studies in a meta-analysis, is a valid strategy. However, when the genetic model is additive, a similar strategy based on summary statistics will lead to biased results. This fact about the additive model is one of the things that we establish in this paper, using simulations. The main goal of this paper is to present an alternate strategy for the additive model based on simulating data for the individual studies. We show that the alternate strategy is far superior to the strategy based on summary statistics.

description: This paper proposes a hybrid technique for secured optimal power flow coupled with enhancing voltage stability with FACTS device installation. The hybrid approach of Improved Gravitational Search algorithm (IGSA) and Firefly algorithm (FA) performance is analyzed by optimally placing TCSC controller. The algorithm is implemented in MATLAB working platform and the power flow security and voltage stability is evaluated with IEEE 30 bus transmission systems. The optimal results generated are compared with those available in literature and the superior performance of algorithm is depicted as minimum generation cost, reduced real power losses along with sustaining voltage stability.

description: We study fermionic ladders with identical disorder along the leg direction. Following recent experiments we focus, in particular, on how an initial occupation imbalance evolves in time. By considering different initial states and different ladder geometries we conclude that in generic cases interchain coupling leads to a destruction of the imbalance over time, both for Anderson and for many-body localized systems.

description: TRAPPIST-1 is a late M-dwarf orbited by seven Earth-sized planets with orbital period ratios near a chain of mean motion resonances. Due to uncertain system parameters, most orbital configurations drawn from the inferred posterior distribution are unstable on short timescales of $\sim$ 0.5 Myr, even when including the eccentricity damping effect of tides. By contrast, we show that most physically plausible resonant configurations generated through disk migration are stable even without tidal dissipation on timescales of at least 50 Myr ($10^{10}$ orbits), an increase of at least two orders of magnitude. This result, together with the remarkable chain of period ratios in the system, provide strong evidence for convergent migration naturally emplacing the system near an equilibrium configuration forced by the resonant chain. We provide an openly available database of physically plausible initial conditions for TRAPPIST-1 generated through parametrized planet-disk interactions, as well as bit-by-bit reproducible N-body integrations over $10^9-10^{10}$ orbits.

Generalized Parallelizable Spaces from Exceptional Field Theory

description: Generalized parallelizable spaces allow a unified treatment of consistent maximally supersymmetric truncations of ten- and eleven-dimensional supergravity in generalized geometry. Known examples are spheres, twisted tori and hyperboloides. They admit a generalized frame field over the coset space $M$=$G/H$ which reproduces the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of $G$ under the generalized Lie derivative. An open problem is a systematic construction of these spaces and especially their generalized frames fields. We present a technique which applies to $\dim M$=4 for SL(5) exceptional field theory. In this paper the group manifold $G$ is identified with the extended space of the exceptional field theory. Subsequently, the section condition is solved to remove unphysical directions from the extended space. Finally, a SL(5) generalized frame field is constructed from parts of the left-invariant Maurer-Cartan form on $G$. All these steps impose conditions on $G$ and $H$.

A tale of clusters: No resolvable periodicity in the terrestrial impact cratering record

description: Rampino & Caldeira (2015) carry out a circular spectral analysis (CSA) of the terrestrial impact cratering record over the past 260 million years (Ma), and suggest a ~26 Ma periodicity of impact events. For some of the impacts in that analysis, new accurate and high-precision ("robust"; 2SE<2%) 40Ar-39Ar ages have recently been published, resulting in significant age shifts. In a CSA of the updated impact age list, the periodicity is strongly reduced. In a CSA of a list containing only impacts with robust ages, we find no significant periodicity for the last 500 Ma. We show that if we relax the assumption of a fully periodic impact record, assuming it to be a mix of a periodic and a random component instead, we should have found a periodic component if it contributes more than ~80% of the impacts in the last 260 Ma. The difference between our CSA and the one by Rampino & Caldeira (2015) originates in a subset of "clustered" impacts (i.e., with overlapping ages). The ~26 Ma periodicity seemingly carried by these clusters alone is strongly significant if tested against a random distribution of ages, but this significance disappears if it is tested against a distribution containing (randomly-spaced) clusters. The presence of a few impact age clusters (e.g., from asteroid break-up events) in an otherwise random impact record can thus give rise to false periodicity peaks in a CSA. There is currently no evidence for periodicity in the impact record.

Can electricity liberalisation foster the development of radical clean-energy technologies?

description: The paper investigates the effect of electricity liberalisation on the variety of clean energy patent’ search space to asses whether a more competitive electricity market can foster the development of radical clean-energy technologies. This idea is tested using a cross-section of patents filed in the period 1990-2017, a set of patent-level indicators and an instrumental variable approach. Results show that electricity liberalisation pushes clean-energy patents to cite knowledge from technological fields other than their own. However, the reform does not significantly affect the overall breath of the knowledge base of these patents. Additional insights are drawn by looking at the correlation between electricity liberalisation and an indicator of novelty in patents’ search space. The results are consistent with the claim that electricity liberalisation has a positive effect on the development of radical clean-energy technologies. At the same time, by describing how the reform changes clean-energy patents’ search space, they define this effect more precisely.

description: We complement studies of the neutral pion transition form factor pi^0 --> gamma^(*) gamma^(*) with calculations for the electromagnetic decay widths of the processes pi^0 --> e^+ e^-, pi^0 --> e^+ e^- gamma and pi^0 --> e^+ e^- e^+ e^-. Their common feature is that the singly- or doubly-virtual transition form factor serves as a vital input that is tested in the non-perturbative low-momentum region of QCD. We determine this form factor from a well-established and symmetry-preserving truncation of the Dyson-Schwinger equations. Our results for the three- and four-body decays match results of previous theoretical calculations and experimental measurements. For the rare decay we employ a numerical method to calculate the process directly by deforming integration contours, which in principle can be generalized to arbitrary integrals as long as the analytic structure of the integrands are known. Our result for the rare decay is in agreement with dispersive calculations but still leaves a 2 sigma discrepancy between theory and experiment.

description: In a seminal paper by von Stein and Sarnthein (2000), it was hypothesized that "bottom-up" information processing of "content" elicits local, high frequency (beta-gamma) oscillations, whereas "top-down" processing is "contextual", characterized by large scale integration spanning distant cortical regions, and implemented by slower frequency (theta-alpha) oscillations. This corresponds to a mechanism of cortical information transactions, where synchronization of beta-gamma oscillations between distant cortical regions is mediated by widespread theta-alpha oscillations. It is the aim of this paper to express this hypothesis quantitatively, in terms of a model that will allow testing this type of information transaction mechanism. The basic methodology used here corresponds to statistical mediation analysis, originally developed by (Baron and Kenny 1986). We generalize the classical mediator model to the case of multivariate complex-valued data, consisting of the discrete Fourier transform coefficients of signals of electric neuronal activity, at different frequencies, and at different cortical locations. The "mediation effect" is quantified here in a novel way, as the product of "dual frequency RV-coupling coefficients", that were introduced in (Pascual-Marqui et al 2016, http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.05343). Relevant statistical procedures are presented for testing the cross-frequency mediation mechanism in general, and in particular for testing the von Stein & Sarnthein hypothesis.

description: Cardiac indices estimation is of great importance during identification and diagnosis of cardiac disease in clinical routine. However, estimation of multitype cardiac indices with consistently reliable and high accuracy is still a great challenge due to the high variability of cardiac structures and complexity of temporal dynamics in cardiac MR sequences. While efforts have been devoted into cardiac volumes estimation through feature engineering followed by a independent regression model, these methods suffer from the vulnerable feature representation and incompatible regression model. In this paper, we propose a semi-automated method for multitype cardiac indices estimation. After manual labelling of two landmarks for ROI cropping, an integrated deep neural network Indices-Net is designed to jointly learn the representation and regression models. It comprises two tightly-coupled networks: a deep convolution autoencoder (DCAE) for cardiac image representation, and a multiple output convolution neural network (CNN) for indices regression. Joint learning of the two networks effectively enhances the expressiveness of image representation with respect to cardiac indices, and the compatibility between image representation and indices regression, thus leading to accurate and reliable estimations for all the cardiac indices. When applied with five-fold cross validation on MR images of 145 subjects, Indices-Net achieves consistently low estimation error for LV wall thicknesses (1.44$\pm$0.71mm) and areas of cavity and myocardium (204$\pm$133mm$^2$). It outperforms, with significant error reductions, segmentation method (55.1% and 17.4%) and two-phase direct volume-only methods (12.7% and 14.6%) for wall thicknesses and areas, respectively. These advantages endow the proposed method a great potential in clinical cardiac function assessment.

description: Micron size superconducting quantum interference devices ($μ$-SQUID) of lead (Pb), for probing nano-magnetism, were fabricated and characterized. In order to get continuous Pb films with small grain size, Pb was thermally evaporated on a liquid nitrogen cooled Si substrate. Pb was sandwiched between two thin Cr layers for improved adhesion and protection. The SQUID pattern was made by e-beam lithography with Pb lift-off after deposition. The current-voltage characteristics of these devices show a critical current, which exhibits the expected SQUID oscillations with magnetic field, and two re-trapping currents. As a result these devices have hysteresis at low temperatures, which disappears just below the critical temperature.

description: Cosmic rays (CRs) govern the energetics of present-day galaxies and might have also played a pivotal role during the Epoch of Reionization. In particular, energy deposition by low-energy ($E \lesssim 10$ MeV) CRs accelerated by the first supernovae, might have heated and ionized the neutral intergalactic medium (IGM) well before ($z \approx 20$) it was reionized, significantly adding to the similar effect by X-rays or dark matter annihilations. Using a simple, but physically motivated reionization model, and a thorough implementation of CR energy losses, we show that CRs contribute negligibly to IGM ionization, but heat it substantially, raising its temperature by $ΔT=10-200$ K by $z=10$, depending on the CR injection spectrum. Whether this IGM pre-heating is uniform or clustered around the first galaxies depends on CR diffusion, in turn governed by the efficiency of self-confinement due to plasma streaming instabilities that we discuss in detail. This aspect is crucial to interpret future HI 21 cm observations which can be used to gain unique information on the strength and structure of early intergalactic magnetic fields, and the efficiency of CR acceleration by the first supernovae.

description: Massive Machine-Type Communication (mMTC) is expected to be strongly supported by future 5G wireless networks. Its deployment, however, is seriously challenged by the high risk of random access (RA) collision. A popular concept is to reduce RA collisions by clustering mMTC devices into groups, and to connect group members with device-to-device (D2D) links. However, analytical models of this method and discussions about the reliability of D2D links are still absent. In this paper, existing grouping-based solutions are reviewed, an analytical model of grouped RA collision is proposed. Based on the analytical model, the impact of D2D reliability on the collision rate is also investigated. Afterwards, an efficient grouped RA procedure is designed to extend the state-of-the-art with an efficient local group update mechanism against D2D link exceptions.

Diagonal disorder is implemented by randomly varying the heights of the waveguides. Real-space as well as Fourier-space images of the surface plasmon polariton intensity distribution in the waveguide arrays are recorded by leakage radiation microscopy. With these techniques we experimentally demonstrate the transverse localization of surface plasmon polaritons with increasing disorder.

description: We analyse the minimum quantum resources needed to realise strong non-locality, as exemplified e.g. by the classical GHZ construction. It was already known that no two-qubit system, with any finite number of local measurements, can realise strong non-locality. For three-qubit systems, we show that strong non-locality can only be realised in the GHZ SLOCC class, and with equatorial measurements. However, we show that in this class there is an infinite family of states which are pairwise non-LU-equivalent that realise strong non-locality with finitely many measurements. These states have decreasing entanglement between one qubit and the other two, necessitating an increasing number of local measurements on the latter.

description: Due to their wide band gaps, III-N materials can exhibit behaviors ranging from the semiconductor class to the dielectric class. Through an analogy between a Metal/AlGaN/AlN/GaN diode and a MOS contact, we make use of this dual nature and show a direct path to capture the energy band diagram of the nitride system. We then apply transparency calculations to describe the forward conduction regime of a III-N heterojunction diode and demonstrate it realizes a tunnel diode, in contrast to its regular Schottky Barrier Diode designation. Thermionic emission is ruled out and instead, a coherent electron tunneling scenario allows to account for transport at room temperature and higher.

description: Self-avoiding walks on the body-centered-cubic (BCC) and face-centered-cubic (FCC) lattices are enumerated up to lengths 28 and 24, respectively, using the length-doubling method. Analysis of the enumeration results yields values for the exponents $γ$ and $ν$ which are in agreement with, but less accurate than those obtained earlier from enumeration results on the simple cubic lattice. The non-universal growth constant and amplitudes are accurately determined, yielding for the BCC lattice $μ=6.530520(20)$, $A=1.1785(40)$, and $D=1.0864(50)$, and for the FCC lattice $μ=10.037075(20)$, $A=1.1736(24)$, and $D=1.0460(50)$.

Aggregated Annotation of Noticing in Video through Frame+

Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Teachers--Training of

description: Video is recognized in learning sciences as a valuable medium for motivating and supporting practices of ‘noticing’ key events in complex interactions. Various approaches to support development of noticing have included in-person group discussions and threaded text linked to time segments in a given video. This paper reports on an initial effort to use aggregate representation of time-stamped text annotations across users as a way of supporting university teaching activities. The imagined use cases are courses where there are a dozen or more students who can identify and annotate specific moments they notice in video. The aggregated representation can then provide feedback for the entire class about where everyone is noticing key events and can help anchor discussion around the video and the content that video is helping students to explore.
A predictive model for protein materials: from macromolecules to macroscopic fibers

description: We propose a model for the mechanical behavior of protein materials. Based on a limited number of experimental macromolecular parameters (persistence and contour lengths, rate of unfolding dissipation) we obtain the macroscopic behavior of keratin fibers (human, cow, and rabbit hair), taking into account the damage and residual stretches effects which are fundamental in many functions of life. We support our theoretical results by showing that our model is robust and able to reproduce with high quantitive accuracy the cyclic experimental behavior of different keratinous protein materials we tested. We also show the capability of describing, even if with lower precision, the dissipation and permanent strain effects in spider silks.
Bite-sized Learning for Teachers through the Montage Platform
Creators: name: Lee, Victor
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Teachers--In-service training

description: The Montage platform is a new digital environment that we are developing as part of an ongoing research-practice partnership with a school district that seeks to encourage teachers to pursue new forms of technology-mediated pedagogy and better retain institutional knowledge given teacher turnover. In Montage, the interface and features are designed to support “bite-sized” teacher learning through exposure to user generated content. This paper describes the current version of the platform, its design inspiration, relevant theory, features, and four deliberate strategies used to embed bite-sized teacher learning supports.

Backreacting D-brane instantons on branes at singularities
Creators: name: García-Valdecasas, Eduardo

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Non-perturbative D-brane instanton effects in 4d N = 1 string compactifications can be geometrized in terms of a backreacted generalized geometry. We extend earlier results to setups in which the D-brane instanton is charged under the 4d gauge symmetries, and show that the backreacted topology yields the correct charged field theory operators in the 4d effective action. In type IIA models with D6-branes, the backreaction of D2-brane instantons forces the recombination of D6-branes, such that the 4d charged field theory operators arise from basic worldsheet instantons in the backreacted geometry. We provide large classes of examples of D2-brane instanton effects on intersecting D6-brane systems in local models mirror to D3-branes at singularities. The backreacted geometry and the field theory operators are easily encoded in terms of simple operation in the graphs arising from the underlying dimer diagrams. This description agrees, in the appropriate cases, with the complex deformations triggered by certain fractional branes at the bottom of duality cascades.

Chiral trace relations in $Ω$-deformed $\mathcal N=2$ theories

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We consider $\mathcal N=2$ $SU(2)$ gauge theories in four dimensions (pure or mass deformed) and discuss the properties of the simplest chiral observables in the presence of a generic $Ω$-deformation. We compute them by equivariant localization and analyze the structure of the exact instanton corrections to the classical chiral ring relations. We predict exact relations valid at all instanton number among the traces $\langle\text{Tr}φ^{n}\rangle$, where $φ$ is the scalar field in the gauge multiplet. In the Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit, such relations may be explained in terms of the available quantized Seiberg-Witten curves. Instead, the full two-parameter deformation enjoys novel features and the ring relations require non trivial additional derivative terms with respect to the modular parameter. Higher rank groups are briefly discussed emphasizing non-factorization of correlators due to the $Ω$-deformation. Finally, the structure of the deformed ring relations in the $\mathcal N=2^{\star}$ theory is analyzed from the point of view of the Alday-Gaiotto-Tachikawa correspondence proving consistency as well as some interesting universality properties.

Rethinking the (Maker)space for Rural Libraries

Subjects: subject: Libraries
subject: Rural libraries
subject: Makerspaces
subject: Maker movement in education

description: Increasingly, libraries are joining the making trend by establishing makerspaces that provide access to these tools within dedicated spaces.  These trends have spanned all kinds of library types (from school to public) and settings (urban, suburban, and rural). While making brings with it a number of desirable qualities, such as the opportunity to democratize access to digital and fabrication technologies , we should be cautious about duplicating and uncritically importing traditional makerspace models into library spaces. Instead, libraries should be promoting maker activities that avoid gender bias and promote inclusivity and accessibility for all, regardless of social status or income. 
In this chapter, we describe parts of a three-year collaborative research study in which we partnered with librarians in small-town and rural libraries to implement STEM-rich maker activities for their youth patrons.  We focus on how librarians can adapt the traditional makerspace model to provide inclusive, low-cost, and sustainable maker programming in their libraries.

description: We develop a Bayesian Structural VAR (SVAR) model to study the relationship between different kinds of energy shocks and inflation dynamics in Europe. Specifically, we include in our specification two separate energy markets (oil and natural gas) and two target macroeconomic variables, measuring inflation expectations and the realized headline inflation. Our results demonstrate that, during the last year, inflation in the Euro area is more affected from energy price shocks, particularly those coming from the natural gas sector. The high peaks of the Eurozone inflation are mainly associated with gas consumption demand shocks and, to a lesser extent, to oil and gas supply shocks.

description: We prove existence of solutions for a nonlinear fractional oscillator equation with both left Riemann-Liouville and right Caputo fractional derivatives subject to natural boundary conditions. The proof is based on a transformation of the problem into an equivalent lower order fractional boundary value problem followed by the use of an upper and lower solutions method. To succeed with such approach, we first prove a result on the monotonicity of the right Caputo derivative.
