Halting the Revolving Door of Recidivism: Examining the Challenges and Successes of Ex-Offenders in Maintaining Employment
Creators: name: Wang, Angela

Subjects: subject: economic opportunity

subject: reintegration into society

description: Re-entry as a field was developed in response to the criminal justice system’s efforts to counter high recidivism rates where repeat offenders cycle in and out of prison. Consequently, government and non-profit stakeholders have developed social services programming to respond to the needs of those released from prison in ensuring they have the support needed to break free of a lifestyle of continuous crime. Scholars in the field have identified employment as a key factor that discerns whether ex-offenders desist from offending or not. That being said, the field has focused more on how ex-offenders acquire employment and less on how they keep their jobs. The objective of this paper is to explore the latter and in the process, reveal the structures that bar returning citizens from maintaining their positions in the workforce and from re-integrating with society at large. In undertaking this study, I partnered with the Chicago South Side non-profit organization, Teamwork Englewood, to conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses of how their clients have fared since undergoing the process to become hired and work for the industrial plant Dakkota Integrated Systems. I have identified the deindustrialized landscape of Chicago as a primary obstruction to ex-offender clients’ retaining their positions at Dakkota, presenting geographic barriers for clients unable to finance their commutes to such faraway worksites and socioeconomic barriers that relegate ex-offenders to a form of employment with low pay and erratic hours that processes them more so as bodies than as people. In highlighting these barriers, I posit both short-term solutions that would better equip ex-offenders for navigating Chicago’s current landscape and long-term solutions that call for the economic reinforcement of the South Side to ensure both ex-offenders and their communities can heal from historically damaging developments and grow together.

description: Ce mémoire professionnel s’inscrit dans un contexte d’éducation physique et sportive. La mise en oeuvre d’une pluralité de pratiques professionnelles en EPS est directement liée au plaisir et est essentielle au bon développement de chacun, enseignant ou élèves. Ce plaisir de pratiquer des activités physiques, sportives et artistiques doit être considéré comme une acquisition fondamentale en EPS, car il représente la base de toutes autres acquisitions, dans cette même discipline ou dans d’autres (Delignières & Garsault, 2004). L’objectif de ce mémoire professionnel est d’observer, commenter et étudier les potentielles corrélations entre une approche coopérative spécifique en EPS, la méthode Jigsaw, et l’engagement des élèves représenté, entre autres, par leur motivation. Pour ce faire, nous mettrons en place une séquence didactique selon la méthode mentionnée ci-dessus et nous observerons son impact, à l’aide de différents questionnaires et d’une analyse vidéo. Cette étude sera menée avec une classe d’élèves du secondaire I du canton de Vaud, âgés entre 12 et 13 ans. Nous nous appuierons, pour la réalisation de cette étude, sur trois concepts majeurs qui sont l’engagement, la motivation et l’approche coopérative en EPS, plus particulièrement l’approche coopérative de Jigsaw.

description: We perform a model-independent analysis of $|Δb|=|Δd|=1$ processes to test the standard model and probe flavor patterns of new physics. Constraints on Wilson coefficients are obtained from global fits to $B^+ \to π^+ \,μ^+μ^-$, $B^0_s\to \bar{K}^{*0}\, μ^+μ^-$, $B^0\toμ^+μ^-$, and radiative $B \to X_d \,γ$ decays data. The fits are consistent with the standard model but leave sizable room for new physics. Besides higher-statistics measurements and more data in theory-friendly bins of the dilepton mass, further complementary observables such as angular distributions of $B_s^0 \to \bar{K}^{*0}\,\ell^+ \ell^-$, $B \to ρ\,\ell^+ \ell^-$ or the baryonic modes $Ξ_b \to Σ\,\ell^+ \ell^-$, $Ω_b^- \to Ξ^- \, \ell^+ \ell^-$ are necessary to resolve the significant degeneracy in the fit for the semileptonic four-fermion operators. Assuming minimal quark flavor violation, the $b \to s$ global fit implies tight constraints on the $b \to d$ couplings, and hence allows to test this paradigm with improved data. Another benefit from $|Δb|=|Δd|=1$ processes is to shed light on the $B$-anomalies in $|Δb|=|Δs|=1$ modes from a new angle. Specifically, studies of lepton flavor-specific and dineutrino modes are informative on the lepton flavor structure. Rare $b \to d \, \ell \ell, ν\bar ν$ decays can be studied at high luminosity flavor facilities LHCb, Belle II, and a future $Z$-factory.

description: This Initial Sustainability Report on Barnard College was commissioned in the summer of 2006 by Stephanie Pfirman and Martin Stute, co-chairs of the Barnard Environmental Science Department, as a source of information for the community and the incoming Environmental Program Manager, Angelica Patterson. Several staff department directors, including Julio Vazquez, Ann Aversa, Al Sorbera, Goldi Juer, and Paula Newman were generous in providing essential information for the report. Peter Bower, Catherine Cook, and Angelica Patterson of the Environmental Science Department were also very helpful in the preparation of the report, as was Lorna Magee (BC ’08). Amanda Rook (BC ’08), Alison Powell (BC ’09) and Jason Smerdon are the principal authors. We hope that you, as a member of the Barnard community, take this report and make it your own, building on the environmental progress Barnard has already made to create a truly sustainable campus. In a time in which local environmental impacts carry grave global consequences and environmental stewardship is an essential component of civic responsibility, every Barnard community member is compelled to make the broader College community more sustainable.
Effect of Wind-Driven Accretion on Planetary Migration

description: Can wind-driven accretion modify planetary migration? Planetary migration plays an important role in planet formation models and statistics of observed exoplanets.
 So far, the theory of planetary migration has focused on the interaction of one or more planets with an inviscid or viscously evolving gaseous disk. Wind-driven accretion, however, additionally influences the gas evolution in a protoplanetary disk and might therefore have an impact on the orbital parameters of a planet within the disk In 2D hydrodynamic simulations, we establish a simplified model of wind-driven accretion in protoplanetary disks treating the wind not explicitly but as a torque on the gas caused by the wind.With this simplified model we investigate the main effects with different wind strengths in a qualitative way rather than quantitatively predicting the outcome. We find that for the co-orbital region, this wind-driven process always injects mass from the outer edge of the co-orbital region and removes mass from the inner edge, in contrast to the viscous evolution, where mass is injected or removed from the co-orbital region depending on the radial density gradients in the disk.
 As a consequence, the migration behavior can differ strongly, and can under certain conditions drive rapid type-III-like outward migration.

description: We show that the variational energy principle of multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamic (MRxMHD) model can be used to predict finite-pressure linear tearing instabilities. In this model, the plasma volume is sliced into sub-volumes separated by "ideal interfaces", and in each volume the magnetic field relaxes to a Taylor state where the pressure gradient $\nabla p = 0$. The MRxMHD model is implemented in the SPEC code so that the equilibrium solution in each region is computed while the preserving force balance across the interfaces. As SPEC computes the Hessian matrix (a discretized stability matrix), the stability of an MRxMHD equilibrium can also be computed with SPEC. In this article, using SPEC, we investigate the effect of local pressure gradients and the $\nabla p = 0$ in the vicinity of the resonant surface of a tearing mode. For low beta plasma, we have been able to illustrate a relationship between the resistive singular layer theory [Coppi et al. (1966) Nucl. Fusion 6 101, Glasser et al. The Physics of Fluids 18, 875-888 (1975)], and the MRxMHD model. Within the singular layer, the volume-averaged magnetic helicity and the flux-averaged toroidal flux are shown to be the invariants for the linear tearing modes in SPEC simulations. Our technique to compute MRxMHD stability is first tested numerically in cylindrical tokamak and its application in toroidal geometry is demonstrated. We demonstrate an agreement between the stability boundary obtained with SPEC simulation and the resistive inner layer theories.

Dust rings formation in misaligned circumbinary discs
Creators: name: Longarini, Cristiano
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: In many cases the result of molecular cloud collapse is a binary (or multiple) stellar system. In particular, if the collapse is forming a binary system, three discs can be formed: two around the stars (circumprimary and circumsecundary) and a larger disc surrounding both the stars, called circumbinary.
 Here I present an analytical and numerical study of dust rings formation in misaligned circumbinary discs. In my work, I found that pile-ups of dust may be induced not only by pressure maxima, as the usual dust traps, but also by a difference in precession rates between the gas and dust. I considered a disc composed of gas and dust; I assumed that the gas precesses as a rigid body, thanks to the viscosity, while the dust differentially precesses because of its viscousless and pressureless nature.
 The net effect of the aerodynamical coupling between the two components is the so called “radial drift”, i.e. the dust acquires a negative radial velocity and migrate towards the central object. This force does not act whenever the difference of speed is equal to zero. Projecting the dusty velocity field onto the gaseous plane I found two radii - an inner and outer dust radius- at which the difference of speed between gas and dust is zero. At these locations, the dust, that is migrating from the outer part of the disc because of radial drift, piles up, leading to the formation of dusty rings. The position of the rings depends on a series of parameters defining the disc, as its radial extent, its density profile and its thickness. To confirm my theoretical predictions, I performed numerical simulations using the SPH code PHANTOM: I used the two fluid algorithm because I was interested in the marginally coupled regime. By means of these simulations I explored the parameter space as much as possible: I found an overall general agreement between the results of the simulations and the analytical expectations, with some discrepancies that can be related to the specific hypothesis I have made. This mechanism could be significant in the context of planetary formation in binary stellar systems because these traps could foster the dust coagulation and the formation of planetesimals.

description: Using polarization selective spontaneous Raman scattering, we have investigated the 5$d$ transition metal compound K$_2$ReCl$_6$ which displays a series of structural phase transitions. We observe a violation of the Raman selection rules in the cubic high temperature phase as well as a low-energy scattering continuum persistent throughout the investigated temperature range from 300 down to 5 K. The continuum couples to one of the phonon modes at temperatures above the lowest structural phase transition at 76 K. We propose a common origin of these observations caused by local fluctuations in the orientation of the ReCl$_6$ octahedra which locally break the long-range cubic symmetry. Consistent results from the related non-magnetic compound K$_2$SnCl$_6$ support this interpretation.

description: The temporal stationarity of the teleconnection between the tropical Pacific Ocean and North America (NA) is analyzed in atmosphere-only, and coupled last-millennium, historical, and control runs from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 data archive. The teleconnection, defined as the correlation between December-January-February (DJF) tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and DJF 200 mb geopotential height, is found to be nonstationary on multidecadal timescales. There are significant changes in the spatial features of the teleconnection over NA in continuous 56-year segments of the last millennium and control simulations. Analysis of atmosphere-only simulations forced with observed SSTs indicates that atmospheric noise cannot account for the temporal variability of the teleconnection, which instead is likely explained by the strength of, and multidecadal changes in, tropical Pacific Ocean variability. These results have implications for teleconnection-based analyses of model fidelity in simulating precipitation, as well as any reconstruction and forecasting efforts that assume stationarity of the observed teleconnection.

description: This thesis examines the University of Chicago’s relationship to its neighbors from 1925 to 1940. During this period, the “Chicago School” sociologists Ernest Burgess, Robert Park, and Louis Wirth published research on the city which legitimized stereotypes that associated Black homeowners with declining property values. These theories, which were produced under the pretense of “objective” scientific sociological study, had lasting effects on how the University administrators used real estate policy to maintain segregation on the South Side of Chicago. In particular, the University of Chicago financially supported homeowner associations in their legal defense of restrictive covenants. Drawing on University administrators and academics’ archive as well as local newspapers, I attempt to demonstrate how University administrators selectively applied sociological theories as justification for their support of restrictive covenants. Furthermore, I use the framework of racial capitalism to highlight the economic incentives of the University to perpetuate the confinement, restriction, and suffering of Black Chicagoans.

description: The latest controversy on schoolbooks in Korea broke out in spring 2013 when Kyohak Publishing Co. submitted its reactionary revisionist textbook for history classes at high schools to the authorities for approval. That the textbook was officially approved by the Ministry of Education despite the fact that it contained an enormous amount of errors in grammar, orthography, facts, and widely accepted interpretations of historic events has led many to suspect a connection to President Park's conservative interpretation of history. This article analyzes the background of this "war over history" by shedding light on the schoolbook's contested contents and on the arguments for and against it, on the maneuvering of the authorities, and on education policy change regarding the textbook publishing system and school curricula.

description: Research progresses on the noncommutative gauge theories on the Moyal space are discussed in this minireview. We first present a brief overview on the development of gauge theories on Moyal space, with an emphasis on the role of Seiberg-Witten maps. Two important relations induced by reversible Seiberg-Witten maps, namely the formal equivalence of on-shell DeWitt background field effective action in general and explicit identical relation between tree level scattering amplituded in noncommutative quantum electrodynamics (NCQED), are described in some details. We then proceed to the properties of the tree level two-by-two scattering amplitudes in NCQED, including a forward scattering singularity in NCQED Compton scattering. After covering some phenomenological perspectives of NCYM based models, outlooks into the future are given at the end.

description: Ce mémoire a été réalisé à la suite d’interrogations sur le choix, les raisons et l’organisation des familles pratiquant l’école à domicile. Lors de ce projet, je me suis intéressée plus spécifiquement à l’activité physique des homeschoolers. Chaque année dans le canton de Vaud, de nouvelles familles choisissent cette alternative à l’école publique. À la rentrée 2018, plus de 500 enfants suivaient ce mode d’éducation. J’ai alors formulé ma question de recherche : « Estce que les enfants, âgés entre 6 à 12 ans et suivant l’école à domicile, pratiquent une activité physique suffisante (60 minutes quotidiennes prescrites par l’OMS), en comparaison avec les élèves de l’école publique ? » Dans ce mémoire, les concepts de Homeschooling (école à la maison) et d’Activité physique ont été définis. Le terme homeschooling est apparu dans les pays anglo-saxons. En Suisse, la législation autorisant la pratique de ce mode d’éducation, est différente selon les cantons. Des inspecteurs visitent les familles de homeschoolers au minimum une fois par année pour vérifier leur organisation et le suivi des apprentissages des enfants. L’éducation physique et sportive est une branche importante de l’école traditionnelle, car elle vise également la socialisation des enfants. De plus, l’âge de 6 à 12 ans, est primordial pour le développement des capacités physiques des individus. Au travers de cette recherche, deux populations participantes, 10 homeschoolers et 10 écoliers, âgés entre 6 et 12 ans, ont accepté de porter un podomètre pendant une semaine, de remplir un journal de bord, ainsi que de répondre à un questionnaire (IPAQ). Les différentes données obtenues ont permis de comparer la quantité, l’intensité et la diversité de l’activité physique. De plus, des entretiens retranscrits, puis analysés dans une grille thématique, ont été menés afin de compléter les résultats.

description: Efforts to attract more foreign students have been driving higher-education reform in Japan for decades. In 2008, the Japanese government announced its aim of reaching 300,000 international students by 2020 with the launch of its 300,000 International Students Plan. Under the scheme, the government has been providing funding for selected core universities in an initiative called the Global 30 Project. Many of the country's universities have consequently implemented degree programs held in English. This paper examines the growing number of international students in Japan and analyzes the impact that English-mediated courses have had on this increase. As the analysis shows, the growth in the number of international students at universities with a comprehensive range of such courses is significantly higher than at other universities, indicating that the use of English as a language of instruction may be a useful strategy for making Japanese universities more viable and internationally competitive.

Five years after HL Tau: The First Hydrostatic Core!
Creators: name: Ruiz-Rodriguez, Dary
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: It is theoretically predicted that in between a starless core and a protostar, i.e. before the beginning of the Class 0 phase, a collapsing molecular core initially forms a central hydrostatic object known as the First Hydrostatic Core (FHSC). Several theoretical studies have investigated the physical properties of these FHSCs, however, this very short evolutionary stage has been highly elusive and challenging to prove observationally. As a matter of fact, many candidate FHSCs have been identified, but none have been definitively confirmed as such. Therefore, detecting observationally these objects is of central importance in studies of the earliest phases of low-mass star formation. Since more than 50 years ago (Larson 1969), astronomers have been pursuing an observational verification of the FHSCs, which would provide a laboratory for probing and understanding the earliest stellar stages and the formation of their associated protoplanetary disks, currently poorly constrained. Here, we present the robust detection of a FHSC, the first of its kind, by using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Based on a kinematic modeling of the spherical rotating collapse phase, we estimate the characteristic physical properties of the object (central mass and accretion rate), which match those predicted for FHSCs.
title: Shaping A New Identity For The Trinci Signoria: Ambitions And Image-making In The Early Quattrocento Court Of Foligno.

description: This thesis concerns the decorations of the Palazzo Trinci in Foligno, dating from the early fifteenth century. This early period of court art is relatively neglected, and the frescoes have received little scholarly attention since a 2001 collection of essays in Italian, focussing largely on attribution and the identification of immediate sources.

 The thesis extends this earlier research, placing the cycle within the social and political context of the period and showing how it reflects the contemporary process of cultural exchange. Close study of frescoes in the palazzo’s surviving decorated spaces (two large reception rooms, a landing, and a bridge) shows how the Trinci’s dynastic ambitions underlie the scheme. It demonstrates the influence of humanists who were present in Foligno, arguing that humanistic ideas about the nature of leadership, virtue, learning, and time frame the future signoria in new ways. Referencing other works of art in various media and contexts over a wide geographical area, it examines how the artists concerned interpreted these ideas, using chivalric, civic, and religious imagery. Considering the physical nature and likely use of the four spaces, the thesis investigates ways in which contemporary viewers may have perceived the frescoes. It examines the suggestion that one room (the Camera delle Rose) was an early studiolo, proposing, for the first time, that it is unified by the theme of ‘the active and contemplative life’.

 Created at a time when other courtly decorations were still often light-hearted and ‘chivalric’, the Palazzo Trinci frescoes are unusually serious in tone. This thesis contends that they occupy an important position in the development of the art and culture of early Italian courts, exemplifying a time when families such as the Trinci were searching for new, more acceptable, identities, and pointing ahead to the more confident ‘magnificence’ of later courts.

description: Criorhyna picciolii Rondani, 1865
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1865a: 133.
TYPE LOCALITY: “ Etruria [Etruria (= Tuscany, Italy)]”.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, syntype (MZUF: Box 3): Chryorhina [sic!] Hofg. / picciolii Rndn., Etruria /107.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Criorhina ranunculi (Panzer, 1804) (Peck 1988: 207, Belcari et al. 1995a: 18).
REMARKS: Rondani (1865a: 133) described Criorhyna picciolii from just the male sex, without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens received from F.M. Piccioli. We found one syntype in this study. Rondani described this nominal species under the generic name Criorhyna, which is an “unjustified emendation of Criorhina Meigen, 1822 ” (O’Hara et al. 2011: 65).

description: On Thursday 9th of July, the 4th RISIS POLICYMAKERS SESSION entitled “Mapping R&D to policy goals and societal challenges” took place online on the GoToMeeting platform with the participation of 40 people among experts, policy analyst and academics. The conference begun with an Opening (First presentation) of Dr Alessia Fava, Research Institute on Sustainable Economic Growth, National Research Council of Italy, mainly focused on RISIS dissemination and communication ongoing activities. The 4th Policymakers Session focused on the results of study conducted by CWTS, Leiden University titled Reavealing dynamics, structure, and societal connections. How advanced bibliometrics support science policy analyses. Dr Ismael Rafols introduced the study (Second Presentation). The team took into consideration the example of cancer research as reported by Dr Alfredo Yegros Yegros (Third Presentation) to illustrate the potential of bibliometric data to reveal information beyond counting publications and citations, and specifically to gain insights into the dynamics of a research field or organization, its structure and its different ways in which research is connected to societal processes. The bibliometric analyses have been conducted using the RISIS CWTS publication Dataset as Dr Ed Noyons illustrated (Fourth Presentation). The second part of the conference was dedicated to the contribution of three discussants Dr Michael M. Hopkins (Fifth presentation) Hopkins (SPRU, The Science Policy Research Unit, University of Sussex, UK), Dr Jarno Hoekman (Sixth presentation) Hoekman (Universiteit Utrecht) and Dr Lennart Stenberg (Seventh presentation) Stenberg (VINNOVA, Sweden’s innovation agency) and on how advanced bibliometrics analyses reveal the scientific production, the medical innovation and the various funding system.

The Quest to be a "Human Rights Promoter"

description: Recently the political weight of the European Union (EU) in international relations has come under scrutiny. Alongside economic influence, normative power is among the key factors shaping the EU's foreign policy. In spite of the EU's efforts at establishing legitimate norms that can be globally exported and applied and its actions to promote these norms in other countries, the results of these efforts have been questioned with regards to their overall level of success. Against this backdrop, this article seeks to examine the reasons for the EU's ineffectiveness in portraying its self as a "human rights promoter" in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, and especially in Vietnam. Two social-scientific explanations will be explored: (1) how coherent the EU is in its human rights policy and (2) the differences in values between the two sides, particularly regarding two aspects: culture and political regime. As to the first explanation, the coherence of the EU human rights policy is examined as the internal factor. The term coherence in this paper is understood in the sense that the EU human rights policy is consistently promoted without negotiation of or being affected by other factors, for example economic benefits. The second explanation is about differences in values, addressing specifically cultural and political aspects. We argue that the human rights policy of the EU will be more effectively implemented in countries that share the same or similar norms with the Union. Otherwise, dissimilarity in values will lead to limitation or even rejection of the EU human rights projections.

description: En Suisse romande, les jeunes enfants ayant un déficit visuel (DEVI) bénéficient d’un accompagnement par des pédagogues en éducation précoce spécialisée (EPS) travaillant au sein de Services éducatifs itinérants (SEI) généralistes ou spécialisé basse vision. Ces professionnelles soutiennent le développement du potentiel visuel de l’enfant et son développement global. Dans le cadre de leurs interventions, des pédagogues en EPS travaillant au sein de SEI s’interrogent sur les postures des enfants ayant un DEVI. Elles questionnent les particularités de ces postures et soulignent le manque d’indicateurs pour leurs pratiques d’intervention en EPS. Dans la littérature, plusieurs auteurs affirment que les postures des enfants ayant un DEVI doivent faire l’objet d’une attention particulière en intervention précoce. L’absence d’étude sur le sujet dans le domaine de l’éducation précoce spécialisée m’a incitée à mener une recherche exploratoire, avec pour question principale : quelle attention porter aux postures des enfants ayant un déficit visuel dans le cadre du Service éducatif itinérant ? L’analyse de la littérature et d’entretiens semi-directifs réalisés avec sept pédagogues en EPS travaillant au sein de SEI généralistes ou spécialisé basse vision, met en évidence trois domaines auxquels porter attention : le développement de l’enfant, son activité et son environnement. Les résultats soulignent notamment que : 1) La vision joue un rôle majeur dans le développement postural précoce et la situation de déficit visuel est à risque d’engendrer un développement atypique au niveau posturo-moteur et dans d’autres domaines du développement ; 2) La stabilité posturale constitue une base pour les interactions de l’enfant ayant un DEVI avec son environnement ; 3) Des facteurs socio-culturels et socio-économiques ont une incidence sur les postures des enfants ayant un DEVI. Afin de soutenir les postures de l’enfant ayant un DEVI, trois étapes clés sont identifiée : l’observation, l’interprétation et l’ajustement. Des outils pour soutenir les pratiques professionnelles en ce sens devraient être élaborés à la suite de cette recherche. Finalement, l’attention aux postures comme soutien aux pratiques en partenariat avec les parents et d’autres professionnels constitue une des découvertes majeures de cette recherche.
South Korea's Reunification Think Tanks

description: In contrast to Germany South Korea has for years been continuously preparing for national reunification. As a result, alongside the Ministry of Unification a number of think tanks, research institutes, and other organizations have also been established in South Korea. After years of the dominance in the country of state-run, security-orientated think tanks in the wake of German reunification, a new structure of reunification think tanks has recently evolved. Nowadays, besides the 22 Korean think tanks themselves, seven foreign think tanks are also active in this field of research. Therefore, the market of ideas concerning reunification research can be described as a broad but open oligopoly. Additional restrictions on the competition of ideas are generated by the two different overlapping subsystems of society: science and politics. South Korean reunification think tanks compete with each other on two fronts: the market of ideas and the market of financial resources. Because the South Korean government is the main financial donor to reunification research in South Korea, several think tanks have only limited independence. However, a growing pluralistic structure within reunification-oriented think tanks gives us reason to expect increasingly pluralistic research results as well.

description: The resistance state of filamentary memristors can be tuned by relocating only a few atoms at interatomic distances in the active region of a conducting filament. Thereby the technology holds promise not only in its ultimate downscaling potential and energy efficiency but also in unprecedented speed. Yet, the breakthrough in high-frequency applications still requires the clarification of the dominant mechanisms and inherent limitations of ultra-fast resistive switching. Here we investigate bipolar, multilevel resistive switchings in tantalum pentoxide based memristors with picosecond time resolution. We experimentally demonstrate cyclic resistive switching operation due to 20 ps long voltage pulses of alternating polarity. Through the analysis of the real-time response of the memristor we find that the set switching can take place at the picosecond time-scale where it is only compromised by the bandwidth limitations of the experimental setup. In contrast, the completion of the reset transitions significantly exceeds the duration of the ultra-short voltage bias, demonstrating the dominant role of thermal diffusion and underlining the importance of dedicated thermal engineering for future high-frequency memristor circuit applications.

description: Connection to nature has been researched extensively over the last decade, with research showing that nature influences human wellbeing by reducing environmental stressors that occur in everyday life (Silvia et al., 2018). However, with more individuals living in cities with limited access to safe natural spaces, it's crucial to conduct research looking at alternatives to physical nature (Rigolon et al., 2018). One inexpensive and accessible way to provide this nature experience is through a 360° video in Virtual Reality (VR). Due to VR being a modern invention, there are limited studies looking at nature experiences using a 360° video in VR (Browning et al., 2020; Calogiuri et al., 2018). Consequently, this study aimed was to expand on this research by looking at the impacts that a 360° virtual reality natural environment has on psychological affect, in this case mood, in comparison to physical nature. This URSS project will hopefully provide a basis for the development of a virtual intervention that can be implemented in clinical settings and areas which have limited access to nature.
