description: In this paper the reflection and transmission of waves by a three-dimensional random medium are studied in a white-noise and paraxial regime. The limit system derives from the acoustic wave equations and is described by a coupled system of random Schrödinger equations driven by a Brownian field whose covariance is determined by the two-point statistics of the fluctuations of the random medium. For the reflected and transmitted fields the associated Wigner distributions and the autocorrelation functions are determined by a closed system of transport equations. The Wigner distribution is then used to describe the enhanced backscattering phenomenon for the reflected field.

description: Spatial coordinate transformation is used as a reliable tool to control electromagnetic fields. In this paper, we derive the permeability and permittivity tensors of a metamaterial able to transform an isotropically radiating source into a compact ultradirective antenna in the microwave domain. We show that the directivity of this antenna is competitive with regard to conventional directive antennas horn and reflector antennas, besides its dimensions are smaller. Numerical simulations using finite element method are performed to illustrate these properties. A reduction in the electromagnetic material parameters is also proposed for an easy fabrication of this antenna from existing materials. Following that, the design of the proposed antenna using a layered metamaterial is presented. The different layers are all composed of homogeneous and uniaxial anisotropic metamaterials, which can be obtained from simple metal-dielectric structures. When the radiating source is embedded in the layered metamaterial, a highly directive beam is radiated from the antenna

description: Norris and Ortega (2000) investigated the effectiveness of L2 instruction by conducting a metaanalysis of a plethora of SLA studies focused on pedagogy. With regard to the main research question posed in their investigation (Is L2 instruction effective?) they admit to experiencing some difficulties in trying to offer a definitive answer. According to the authors, these difficulties could be due to several problems.

description: In this paper, it is proved that, no special timelike Frenet curve is a Bertrand curve in $\mathbb{E}_2^4$ and also, in $\mathbb{E}_ν^{n+1}$ $ ({n \ge 3})$, such that the notion of Bertrand curve is definite only in $\mathbb{E}_1^2$ and $\mathbb{E}_1^3$. Therefore, a generalization of timelike Bertrand curve is defined and called as timelike (1,3)-Bertrand curve in $\mathbb{E}_2^4$. Moreover, the characterization of timelike (1,3)-Bertrand curve is given in $\mathbb{E}_2^4$.

description: This report is the documentation for a design strategy of Brigham City, Utah's Main Street Historic District (MSD). The purpose of the project is to develop a strategy that can be used to guide future physical improvement to the MSD. The strategy developed in this report provides specific goals to reinforce MSD' s district identity, and enhance the pedestrian and public parking networks inside the MSD. Successful implementation of these goals will assure that the MSD will maintain a commercial and social importance for the city.
This report gives a brief overview of the events that have led to the demise and now renewed interest for the western American main street. The methodology used to develop this design strategy for Brigham City, includes a historical overview of Brigham City, followed by an analysis of existing conditions and opportunities for the MSD. The information in these initial chapters helps to develop the design goals. This report proposes that any future development and enhancements respect the historic form and character that is present in the MSD. This report proposes a series of design guidelines to help preserve and enhance this unique historic character. Additional proposals are made to which enhance the pedestrian and public parking networks for the district. These networks balance the needs of both the pedestrian and the automobile inside the MSD.

description: A dressed-quark core contribution to nucleon electromagnetic form factors is calculated. It is defined by the solution of a Poincare' covariant Faddeev equation in which dressed-quarks provide the elementary degree of freedom and correlations between them are expressed via diquarks. The nucleon-photon vertex involves a single parameter; i.e., a diquark charge radius. It is argued to be commensurate with the pion's charge radius. A comprehensive analysis and explanation of the form factors is built upon this foundation. A particular feature of the study is a separation of form factor contributions into those from different diagram types and correlation sectors, and subsequently a flavour separation for each of these. Amongst the extensive body of results that one could highlight are: r_1^{n,u}>r_1^{n,d}, owing to the presence of axial-vector quark-quark correlations; and for both the neutron and proton the ratio of Sachs electric and magnetic form factors possesses a zero.

Discussion on the Effectiveness of Instruction and the Flaws of Experimental Research Studies

Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: In comparing, synthesizing, and evaluating findings from research studies between 1980 and 1998, Norris and Ortega (2000) asserted that research questions have evolved from simple to more sophisticated ones. For example, research studies initially focused on the effectiveness of instruction in general, and later shifted to looking at which types of instruction, in particular, are more effective. Norris and Ortega also drew attention to the effectiveness of explicit versus implicit teaching as well as Focus on FormS versus Focus on Meaning versus Focus on Form. Furthermore, the authors examined the duration of instructional effects. Teachers and teachersin-training are likely to be drawn to two issues: the effectiveness of instruction and the flaws of experimental research studies that measure its effectiveness.

description: The needs and concerns of the siblings of children who are deaf-blind were studied. Subjects included 12 siblings (eight males, four females) whose families are involved in the Utah Intervener Services Program.
Information was collected by conducting one-on-one interviews with the siblings. The Siblings' Perceptions of the Intervener Interview (SPII) and Taylor's Siblings' Problems Questionnaire were administered.
The results indicated that individual sibling's perspectives were unique, varying from positive to negative. As a group, the siblings made positive comments about the intervener and their life with their deaf-blind brother or sister.
Measuring Effectiveness: Musings on the What and the How
Creators: name: Sun, Yayun Anny
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: Norris and Ortega’s (2000) article on L2 instruction permits a helpful overview of the domain of instructed SLA. The authors’ detailed description of the coding process provides a useful matrix of instructional techniques in terms of Focus on Form (FonF), Focus on Forms (FonFS), Focus on Meaning (FonM) and implicit/explicit techniques. It is also helpful to follow the different types of measurements that SLA researchers have employed. However, while helpful and essential to the purpose of the study, Norris and Ortega’s coding scheme has its limitations as some instructional treatments do not readily fit into one cell or another. As Norris and Ortega themselves state, we need to exercise caution when comparing studies with seemingly similar constructs, and we might need to extract and separately analyze parts of a treatment to arrive at a clearer picture of its effectiveness. For instance, while VanPatten (2002) himself has identified Processing Instruction (PI) as an explicit treatment, a closer analysis of PI’s components reveals that it may be a hybrid of both explicit and implicit treatment. Similarly, treatments that are labeled as output practice, input practice, or feedback can have many manifestations depending on how they are actually executed in each individual study.

Beginning ESL Learners’ Noticing of Morphological and Syntactic Changes in Recasts
Creators: name: Song, Sunhee
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: Recasts, a type of implicit corrective feedback, are thought to be capable of drawing learners’ attention to mismatches between their non-target-like items and the corresponding target forms. While a great many studies have tried to compare the effectiveness of recasts, few have attempted to determine whether learners actually notice the language forms used in the recasts. The present study has sought to bridge this gap by investigating the extent to which beginning learners actually notice the morphological and syntactic changes that occur in recasts of their non-target-like utterances in the context of dyadic oral interaction. The participants in the study, two Korean beginning learners of English, received intensive recasts of their morphological and syntactic errors over a period of four months. Learner responses were taken as the primary indication of noticing, which is viewed in this study as “what is both detected and then further activated following the allocation of attentional resources” (Robinson, 1995, p. 297). Results suggest that the learners’ noticing was constrained not only by the number of changes in the recasts, but also by the linguistic domains of those changes. Issues related to the study’s findings, such as working memory capacity and perceptual salience, are discussed.

The rhetoric of adaptation
Creators: name: Spilsbury, Oliver
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This paper explores the rhetorical nature of adaptation. It builds upon work from rhetoricians including Aristotle, Burke, Booth, and Perelman and adaptation scholars including Hutcheon, Stam, Leitch, and Sanders to create a new theory of adaptation as a uniquely rhetorically effective narrative form. It suggests an analytical structure based around the internal rhetoric of adaptation (an adaptation’s capacity to persuade audiences to understand the adapted work in particular ways) and the external rhetoric of adaptation (an adaptation’s capacity to persuade audiences to understand the world outside of the work in particular ways). Adaptations are figured to be uniquely rhetorical among storytelling forms due to its audience’s familiarity with the works that are adapted. Hutcheon’s concept of a knowing audience is central here, as an adapter can leverage an audience member’s existing understanding of a work to make a persuasive point, enthymemetically, without needing to explicitly spell out their argument. This paper uses Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim graphic novels and its film and video game adaptations as a central example of adaptation’s internal rhetoricity, showing how the process of adaptation serves to essentialize a story, implicitly making persuasive claims about what a story actually is. It also uses Shakespeare’s Hamlet along with Michael Almereyda’s film adaptation as a central example of adaptation’s external rhetoricity, showing how adapting a familiar story into a new context allows adapters to make social and political claims about the world.
Reconsidering the Measurement of Pragmatic Knowledge Using a Reciprocal Written Task Format
Creators: name: Grabowski, Kirby Cook
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: Current influential models of communicative language ability represent language knowledge as a set of separate yet related components, including grammatical and pragmatic dimensions, which interact with background knowledge, metacognitive strategies, and contextual features (Chapelle, 1998) in language use. Although some researchers have attempted to measure aspects of pragmatic knowledge, the vast majority have not incorporated a clearly articulated pragmatic component into the test construct. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the extent to which scores from a test designed for the current study can be interpreted as indicators of test-takers’ grammatical and pragmatic ability. This study attempts to address some of the limitations of prior pragmatics assessment research, namely, the issues of construct underrepresentation, the lack of highly contextually constrained reciprocal tasks, and the use of less sophisticated statistical tools to support claims of validity. It examines the construct validity of a test based on Purpura’s (2004) theoretical model, which specifies the grammatical and pragmatic components of language knowledge. This model accounts for the way in which grammatical resources are used to convey a range of pragmatic meanings in language use. The analysis explored a broader range of features of pragmatic knowledge than had previously been investigated.

Cosmological implications and structure formation from a time varying vacuum

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the dynamics of the FLRW flat cosmological models in which the vacuum energy varies with time, $Λ(t)$. In this model we find that the main cosmological functions such as the scale factor of the universe and the Hubble flow are defined in terms of exponential functions. Applying a joint likelihood analysis of the recent supernovae type Ia data, the Cosmic Microwave Background shift parameter and the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations traced by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxies, we place tight constraints on the main cosmological parameters of the $Λ(t)$ scenario. Also, we compare the $Λ(t)$ model with the traditional $Λ$ cosmology and we find that the former model provides a Hubble expansion which compares well with that of the $Λ$ cosmology. However, the $Λ(t)$ scenario predicts stronger small scale dynamics, which implies a faster growth rate of perturbations with respect to the usual $Λ$-cosmology, despite the fact that they share the same equation of state parameter. In this framework, we find that galaxy clusters in the $Λ(t)$ model appear to form earlier than in the $Λ$ model.

The Acquisition of Grammatical Marking of Indefiniteness with the Indefinite Article a in L2 English
Creators: name: Ekiert, Monika
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: The article system is a notorious source of difficulty for second language (L2) learners of English, largely because it is based on a complex set of abstract distinctions which are, to some extent, arbitrarily mapped onto surface forms (a, the, and zero). This difficulty is only compounded when learners’ first languages (L1s) do not share the same surface features and/or the same semantic conceptualizations with the target language (TL). This study is about the acquisition of grammatical marking of indefiniteness in L2 English as exemplified by a learner’s use of the indefinite article a. The ways in which L2 acquirers manage to make sense of English articles and even the cases when they do not offer fascinating insights into learners’ cognition (Young, 1996). The specific focus of this study is on whether differences in the grammatical treatment of indefiniteness in L1 and L2 correspond with detectable and systematic differences in interlanguage (Selinker, 1972).

The Contagious Fever of the Jungle
Creators: name: Pontuale, Francesco
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 1998

description: Since its publication, in 1928, the central issue of controversy around which the critical debate on Claude McKay's Home to Harlem revolved was one of primitivism. By considering McKay's use of primitivism in its larger biographical, artistic and historical context, this paper argues that primitivism in McKay's novel makes a claim for a different black sensibility, a counterculture in opposition to white, middle-class culture. Primitivism recuperates the uniqueness of a black, urban working class which values its difference from white, European and American, civilization. At the same time, however, by excluding women from its discourse, and despite McKay's radical leanings, primitivism also betrays the novel's entrenchment in the patriarchal ideology of American individualism.

Year: 1998

description: Set in France in the last days of war, Willian1 Faulkner's 'Ad Astra' offers a privileged perspective to assess the dialogic nature of the definition of identity along racial lines. The only non-white character's search for an authentic definition of himself highlights tragically how the negotiation of an identity can never be color-blind. This paper uses the characters' namings and acts as definitional mirrors, and shows how the logic of racist discourse is both inescapable and all-pervading.

An Emerging Area in Second Language Phonology: The Perception of English Vowels by Adult Second Language Learners
Creators: name: Matsubara, Juri
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2006

description: Although the field of second language acquisition (SLA) has largely advanced over the last few decades, the area of second language (L2) phonology has not been a focus of many studies. Major (1998) found that “of the nearly 200 articles published in Studies in SLA [from 1988 to 1998], only about a dozen focused on phonetics and phonology” (p. 131). Since then, the area has largely expanded, as discussed in Eckman (2004), evolving from studies that cited first language (L1) influence as a main explanation for L2 phonology to research that has turned to universal principles driven by Universal Grammar (UG). Several crosslinguistic speech perception models have been developed as well, and many empirical studies have been undertaken to yield support. One of the most fertile domains for the investigation of L2 phonology has been the syllable (Eckman, 2004, p. 527). However, most of the studies have concentrated on the onset or the coda, while there is much yet to be explored for the acquisition of the nucleus of the syllable – the vowel. This paper is a literature review of the emerging area of L2 phonology, focusing on the perception of English vowels by adult L2 learners.

description: Our objective is to provide guaranteed packet delivery service in time constrained sensor networks. The wireless network is a highly variable environment, where available link bandwidth may vary with network load. Since multimedia applications require higher bandwidth so we use FSO links for their transmission. The main advantage of FSO links is that they offer higher bandwidth and security, while RF links offer more reliability. The routing in this multitier network is based on directional geographic routing protocol, in which sensors route their data via multihop paths, to a powerful base station, through a cluster head. Some modifications have also been incorporated in the MAC layer to improve the QoS of such systems.

Creators: name: Sackett, Richard
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: It has been a common statement by many educators that the athletic type is a person who has "more brawn than brain." Many people assume that low physical ability usually accompanies superior mental ability and high physical ability usually accompanies inferior mental ability. Some members of the academic faculty object to relinquishing school time for athletic and sporting activities. They assume that the majority of the students involved are of the poorer academic type and cannot afford to miss school time for sporting and athletic activities. Research on previous studies support the contention that mental achievement and physical fitness are related and that there is a consistent tendency between strength and both academic achievement tests and grade point average. Intelligence is not monolithic; it is a composite of mental factors. For example, some students who excel in English find mathematics to be extremely difficult. There is no indication that the correlation between the mental trait that ensures success in English and the mental trait that ensures success in mathematics is greater than the correlation between physical ability and mental ability.
Shoreline erosion and related observations on the construction headpond at Site C, Fort St. John, BC
Creators: name: Collier-Pandya, Beatrice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The Site C Clean Energy Project is a new dam and hydroelectric generating station that is currently being constructed by BC Hydro on the Peace River in northeastern British Columbia, near the city of Fort St. John. The Site C dam will be approximately 60 m high and will create a reservoir approximately 83 km long. A detailed geotechnical assessment was undertaken in 2012 to generate preliminary impact lines that delineate potential stability, erosion, and flood hazard areas around the future reservoir. A construction headpond currently formed by river diversion provides site-specific data to potentially improve upon initial shoreline erosion predictions. Since the impoundment of the construction headpond in September 2020, a variety of data has been collected that contributes to observations of shoreline erosion. Collected data includes headpond elevation data, wind speed and direction data, multiple aerial lidar datasets, wave characteristic data at two sites on the construction headpond, and grain size curves of soil samples take at the headpond shoreline. This data was analyzed using two quantitative methods: the digital shoreline analysis system (DSAS), and change detection analysis. The key takeaways from the DSAS tool measurements and the change detection analysis are: 1. All sites show the most material volume change in the first year of headpond impoundment, compared to the subsequent year and a half. 2. Most sites developed a notch at approximately the 416 m elevation, which corresponds with the elevation where the headpond spent the most time. The observations and analysis during the headpond impoundment led to lessons learned around monitoring, modelling, and communication. The research objectives of collecting shoreline erosion data and observations, analyzing the data with new tools and discussing the lessons learned from the headpond stage were met. The construction headpond provided a unique situation to be observed for approximately 2.5 years, but more research can be completed on the subsequent reservoir stage, as well as future reservoirs, to improve shoreline erosion prediction and monitoring methods.

description: William Faulkner's original screenplay for The Big Sleep contains several fascinating scenes and a new ending which Raymond Chandler himself liked. These scenes turned out not to be in keeping with the tone of light comedy that came to predominate in the film and so never made it to the screen. However, Faulkner's script is not only faithful to the spirit of Chandler but also reveals an unexpected affinity of feeling between the two writers.

description: We show that the electric field driven surface instability of visco-elastic films has two distinct regimes: (1) The visco-elastic films behaving like a liquid display long wavelengths governed by applied voltage and surface tension, independent of its elastic storage and viscous loss moduli, and (2) the films behaving like a solid require a threshold voltage for the instability whose wavelength always scales as ~ 4 x film thickness, independent of its surface tension, applied voltage, loss and storage moduli. Wavelength in a narrow transition zone between these regimes depends on the storage modulus.

The "landscape" of Pati--Salam heterotic superstring vacua
Creators: name: Rizos, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The main aspects of a recently developed method for classification of heterotic superstring vacua in the Free Fermionic Formulation are presented. Using these techniques we classify a big number of approximately $10^{15}$ heterotic string vacua with Pati--Salam, SU(4)x{SU(2)}_Lx{SU(2)}_R gauge symmetry with respect to their main phenomenological features as the number of families, Pati--Salam breaking Higgs, Standard Model Higgs doublets, additional triplets and exotic charge states. We identify an interesting subclass of these vacua, approximately one to one million, whose massless spectrum is completely free of fractionally charge states.

description: We study the light-element abundances in supersymmetric model where the right-handed sneutrino is the lightest superparticle (LSP), assuming that the neutrino masses are purely Dirac-type. In such a scenario, the lightest superparticle in the minimal supersymmetric standard model sector (which we call MSSM-LSP) becomes long-lived, and thermal relic MSSM-LSP may decay after the big-bang nucleosynthesis starts. We calculate the light-element abundances including non-standard nuclear reactions induced by the MSSM-LSP decay, and derive constraints on the scenario of right-handed sneutrino LSP.

title: The Color Achievement Program as a Method of Marking in the Physical Education Class at Logan Junior High School
Creators: name: Sackett, Richard
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: Marks offer a way of satisfying the urge to excel and are, therefore, considered to be extremely important to many educators. Other educators believe that the quest for commendable marks tends to distract attention from the true goal, and thus becomes an impediment to learning. Regardless of the conflicting attitudes, educators should establish a marking system which reflects awareness of the best grading principles and represents a wise selection of determining basic factors. Marks should never be permitted to become the all-important goal, and educators cannot expect a marking system to overcome uninspired teaching. The mark should reflect the worth of the person to whom it is as signed.

title: A Study of Supply and Demand for Elementary School Teachers in Venezula
Creators: name: Betancourt, Evilexis
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1972

description: In Venezuela, as in most Latin American countries, education is one of the most important factors in the development process. Within the educational structures, primary schooling is especially important due to the large share of the population under age 12, the great percentage of people of lower social status (who are content with primary schooling for their children), and a still high rate of illiteracy. Fortunately this rate has been declining due to emphasis on and importance of primary education.
Bad Language: Are Some Words Better than Others?
Creators: name: Glasgow, Gregory P.
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2006

description: Many individuals have experienced situations in which the way they spoke or wrote may have been subject to varying degrees of correction, scorn, disdain, or even ridicule. The exploration of what makes language “bad” – that is, deviant in the eyes of some - is Battistella’s main focus in Bad Language: Are Some Words Better than Others?, as he engages in a closely reasoned discussion about how some forms of language varieties have come to be characterized as ethnic, provincial, convoluted, or immoral. Battistella calls for a more relative and descriptive way of viewing so-called deviant language. Additionally, the author endeavors to alter language attitudes, calling instead for a culture of engagement with such varieties rather than, as he puts it, a standoff between traditionalism versus nihilism.

Fairness and Test Use: The Case of the SAT and Writing Placement for ESL Students
Creators: name: Di Gennaro, Kristen
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2006

description: In the United States, many students planning to attend college are required to take the SAT test as part of the college admissions process. Currently called the SAT Reasoning Test, this exam includes sections measuring reading, writing, and math skills considered necessary for college-level study. The results of the SAT and placement exams involve high-stakes decisions about test-takers, such as their acceptance to a university and/or exemption from coursework; hence, the consequences of inaccurate results may lead to unnecessary hardship for test-takers. Instructors, too, may indirectly suffer if they must accommodate very disparate levels of students in their classes as well as respond to students’ dissatisfaction with their course assignments. Thus, whenever assessments “serve as both door-openers and gate keepers” (Bachman & Purpura, in press), test users must be particularly vigilant in ensuring that test scores are interpreted accurately, and that tests are used as intended. This commentary focuses on test use and how it influences the fairness of decisions made on the basis of test scores. More precisely, I argue that adopting tests for purposes other than those for which they were created is not only irresponsible, but potentially unjust.

Equilibrium spin-glass transition of magnetic dipoles with random anisotropy axes on a site diluted lattice

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We study partially occupied lattice systems of classical magnetic dipoles which point along randomly oriented axes. Only dipolar interactions are taken into account. The aim of the model is to mimic collective effects in disordered assemblies of magnetic nanoparticles. From tempered Monte Carlo simulations, we obtain the following equilibrium results. The zero temperature entropy approximately vanishes. Below a temperature T_c, given by k_B T_c= (0.95 +- 0.1)x e_d, where e_d is a nearest neighbor dipole-dipole interaction energy and x is the site occupancy rate, we find a spin glass phase. In it, (1) the mean value , where q is the spin overlap, decreases algebraically with system size N as N increases, and (2) D|q| = 0.5 (T/x)^1/2, independently of N, where D|q| is the root mean square deviation of |q|.

description: We analyze structure of the world foreign currency exchange (FX) market viewed as a network of interacting currencies. We analyze daily time series of FX data for a set of 63 currencies, including gold, silver and platinum. We group together all the exchange rates with a common base currency and study each group separately. By applying the methods of filtered correlation matrix we identify clusters of closely related currencies. The clusters are formed typically according to the economical and geographical factors. We also study topology of weighted minimal spanning trees for different network representations (i.e., for different base currencies) and find that in a majority of representations the network has a hierarchical scale-free structure. In addition, we analyze the temporal evolution of the network and detect that its structure is not stable over time. A medium-term trend can be identified which affects the USD node by decreasing its centrality. Our analysis shows also an increasing role of euro in the world's currency market.
