description: This workshop will be based upon the DISC-UK DataShare project's "Guide to Data Requirements for Digital Repositories" (in development and to be released at the IASSIST workshop). The guide is intended to be used as a decision making and planning tool for institutions with digital repositories in existence or in development that are considering adding research datasets to their digital collections. It also can help articulate the benefits of sound data management practices as well as the goals of data sharing and long term access. The guide is largely based upon the online OpenDOAR Policy Tool, the OAIS Information model, and the TRAC checklist. It compiles information from and refers to multiple resources and to examples of how some of the requirements have been implemented. The workshop will focus upon each section of the guide covering repository content policies, metadata, file formats, access and reuse of data, submission and administration of data, preservation issues and more. Workshop participants will break up into groups, review a particular section of the guide, choose parameters for a fictional digital repository, and report back on their findings and recommendations. Although the focus is upon social science data, other data types could be considered within the range of requirements covered in the workshop. The workshop will be an opportunity for data librarians and data archivists, repository managers and developers to discuss the implementation of best practices, standards, and strategies as research data make their way into a wide range of digital repositories.

description: We propose a new generalized-ensemble algorithm, which we refer to as the multibaric-multithermal Monte Carlo method. The multibaric-multithermal Monte Carlo simulations perform random walks widely both in volume space and in potential energy space. From only one simulation run, one can calculate isobaric-isothermal-ensemble averages at any pressure and any temperature. We test the effectiveness of this algorithm by applying it to the Lennard-Jones 12-6 potential system with 500 particles. It is found that a single simulation of the new method indeed gives accurate average quantities in isobaric-isothermal ensemble for a wide range of pressure and temperature.

description: We have employed first-principles electronic structure calculations to examine the hypothetical (but plausible) oxide spinel, LiCr2O4 with the d^{2.5} electronic configuration. The cell (cubic) and internal (oxygen position) structural parameters have been obtained for this compound through structural relaxation in the first-principles framework. Within the one-electron band picture, we find that LiCr2O4 is magnetic, and a candidate half-metal. The electronic structure is substantially different from the closely related and well known rutile half-metal CrO2. In particular, we find a smaller conduction band width in the spinel compound, perhaps as a result of the distinct topology of the spinel crystal structure, and the reduced oxidation state. The magnetism and half-metallicity of LiCr2O4 has been mapped in the parameter space of its cubic crystal structure. Comparisons with superconducting LiTi2O4 (d^{0.5}), heavy-fermion LiV2O4 (d^{1.5}) and charge-ordering LiMn2O4 (d^{3.5}) suggest the effectiveness of a nearly-rigid band picture involving simple shifts of the position of E_F in these very different materials. Comparisons are also made with the electronic structure of ZnV2O4 (d^{2}), a correlated insulator that undergoes a structural and antiferromagnetic phase transition.

The Power of Pivoting for Exact Clique Counting

description: Clique counting is a fundamental task in network analysis, and even the simplest setting of $3$-cliques (triangles) has been the center of much recent research. Getting the count of $k$-cliques for larger $k$ is algorithmically challenging, due to the exponential blowup in the search space of large cliques. But a number of recent applications (especially for community detection or clustering) use larger clique counts. Moreover, one often desires \textit{local} counts, the number of $k$-cliques per vertex/edge. Our main result is Pivoter, an algorithm that exactly counts the number of $k$-cliques, \textit{for all values of $k$}. It is surprisingly effective in practice, and is able to get clique counts of graphs that were beyond the reach of previous work. For example, Pivoter gets all clique counts in a social network with a 100M edges within two hours on a commodity machine. Previous parallel algorithms do not terminate in days. Pivoter can also feasibly get local per-vertex and per-edge $k$-clique counts (for all $k$) for many public data sets with tens of millions of edges. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first algorithm that achieves such results. The main insight is the construction of a Succinct Clique Tree (SCT) that stores a compressed unique representation of all cliques in an input graph. It is built using a technique called \textit{pivoting}, a classic approach by Bron-Kerbosch to reduce the recursion tree of backtracking algorithms for maximal cliques. Remarkably, the SCT can be built without actually enumerating all cliques, and provides a succinct data structure from which exact clique statistics ($k$-clique counts, local counts) can be read off efficiently.

description: We propose a solution to the cosmological monopole problem: Primordial black holes, produced in the early universe, can accrete magnetic monopoles before the relics dominate the energy density of the universe. These small black holes quickly evaporate and thereby convert most of the monopole energy density into radiation. We estimate the range of parameters for which this solution is possible: under very conservative assumptions we find that the black hole mass must be less than 10^9 gm.

description: While a great variety of 3D cameras have been introduced in recent years, most publicly available datasets for object recognition and pose estimation focus on one single camera. In this work, we present a dataset of 32 scenes that have been captured by 7 different 3D cameras, totaling 49,294 frames. This allows evaluating the sensitivity of pose estimation algorithms to the specifics of the used camera and the development of more robust algorithms that are more independent of the camera model. Vice versa, our dataset enables researchers to perform a quantitative comparison of the data from several different cameras and depth sensing technologies and evaluate their algorithms before selecting a camera for their specific task. The scenes in our dataset contain 20 different objects from the common benchmark YCB object and model set [1], [2]. We provide full ground truth 6DoF poses for each object, per-pixel segmentation, 2D and 3D bounding boxes and a measure of the amount of occlusion of each object. We have also performed an initial evaluation of the cameras using our dataset on a state-of-the-art object recognition and pose estimation system [3].

description: Rural mutual aid elderly care, as an emerging elderly care model, has become an exploration and attempt to rebuild rural communities in the process of rural social transformation. At present, in the vast underdeveloped rural areas, the rural mutual aid elderly care model is faced with such problems as imperfect policies and regulations, insufficient funds, single service items, lack of professional services, and limited functions of civil organizations. It is necessary to strengthen the formulation and improvement of laws and regulations, and to ensure the stable source of funds, enhance the level of specialization, and give full play to the functions of social organizations in the rural mutual aid elderly care model, so as to promote the sustainable development of the rural mutual aid elderly care model.

description: We present a variational method for deriving relativistic two-fermion wave equations in a Hamiltonian formulation of QED. A reformulation of QED is performed, in which covariant Green functions are used to solve for the electromagnetic field in terms of the fermion fields. The resulting modified Hamiltonian contains the photon propagator directly. The reformulation permits one to use a simple Fock-space variational trial state to derive relativistic fermion-antifermion wave equations from the corresponding quantum field theory. We verify that the energy eigenvalues obtained from the wave equation agree with known results for positronium.

description: Quantum Monte Carlo methods are used to calculate various ground state properties of charged bosons in two dimensions, throughout the whole density range where the fluid phase is stable. Wigner crystallization is predicted at $r_s\simeq 60$. Results for the ground state energy and the momentum distribution are summarized in analytic interpolation formulas embodying known asymptotic behaviors. Near freezing, the condensate fraction is less than 1%. The static structure factor $S(k)$ and susceptibility $χ(k)$ are obtained from the density-density correlation function in imaginary time, $F({\bf k},τ)$. An estimate of the energy of elementary excitations, given in terms of an upper bound involving $S(k)$ and $χ(k)$, is compared with the result obtained via analytic continuation from $F({\bf k},τ)$.

description: The promotion of precise poverty alleviation in poverty-stricken areas will inevitably lead to changes in local folk customs. The economic development may bring about greater development of folk customs, and may also lead to qualitative changes in folk customs. This paper mainly introduced the impact of the precise poverty alleviation on the folk customs. Based on the analysis, it came up with pertinent control measures, to better combine the folk customs with precise poverty alleviation measures, to promote common development of economy and culture in poverty stricken areas.

description: The monolayer WSe2 is interesting and important for future application in nanoelectronics, spintronics and valleytronics devices, because it has the largest spin splitting and longest valley coherence time among all the known monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). To obtain the large-area monolayer TMDs' crystal is the first step to manufacture scalable and high-performance electronic devices. In this letter, we have successfully fabricated millimeter-sized monolayer WSe2 single crystals with very high quality, based on our improved mechanical exfoliation method. With such superior samples, using standard high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we did comprehensive electronic band structure measurements on our monolayer WSe2. The overall band features point it to be a 1.2eV direct band gap semiconductor. Its spin-splitting of the valence band at K point is found as 460 meV, which is 30 meV less than the corresponding band splitting in its bulk counterpart. The effective hole masses of valence bands are determined as 2.344 me at Gamma, and 0.529 me as well as 0.532 me at K for the upper and lower branch of splitting bands, respectively. And screening effect from substrate is shown to substantially impact on the electronic properties. Our results provide important insights into band structure engineering in monolayer TMDs. Our monolayer WSe2 crystals may constitute a valuable device platform.

description: As part of a study that investigates the dynamics of the s=1/2 XXZ model in the planar regime |Delta|<1, we discuss the singular nature of the Bethe ansatz equations for the case Delta=0 (XX model). We identify the general structure of the Bethe ansatz solutions for the entire XX spectrum, which include states with real and complex magnon momenta. We discuss the relation between the spinon or magnon quasiparticles (Bethe ansatz) and the lattice fermions (Jordan-Wigner representation). We present determinantal expressions for transition rates of spin fluctuation operators between Bethe wave functions and reduce them to product expressions. We apply the new formulas to two-spinon transition rates for chains with up to N=4096 sites.

The latter are computed in the QCD string model with quarks at the ends, including the lowest states, for all channels. The corresponding correlators demonstrate reasonable qualitative agreement with the lattice data without any additional fits.

Teaching How to Play Well and Be Well : Reflections from a Novice on Using the Curricular Innovation of Teaching Games for Understanding
Creators: name: Abed Rabbo, Richard
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Most Physical and Health Education teachers still use a traditional activity-based style of teaching, instead of a concept-based style of teaching (Gerdin & Pringle, 2015; Metzler, 2011). Traditional forms of Physical and Health Education place a large emphasis on completing repetitive tasks that are designed to develop skills which are limited to specific sports. In contrast, current concept-based forms of teaching foster an environment in which students learn about various types of games, and help students to transfer tactics and game sense from one game to another. For this project, I completed a self-study with a constructivist worldview to see how my teaching praxis changed while using the concept-based curricular innovation of Teaching Games for Understanding. While working as an elementary school generalist teacher for a combined grade 6/7 class in the Surrey School District, I recorded journal entries based on my reflections as a novice using the curricular innovation of Teaching Games for Understanding. I also collaborated with two other teachers, via email, about the reflections that I documented after each day that I used Teaching Games for Understanding with my class. These two colleagues shared ideas, offered feedback, and encouraged me to try new strategies with my students. Even though it felt overwhelming at times to use a concept-based curricular innovation as a novice, I experienced favourable affordances with my class. While using Teaching Games for Understanding, I was able to foster an environment that allowed my students and I to collaborate together every class. Moreover, the collaboration that occurred while the students invented their own games encouraged students to include ideas and suggestions from their peers. This type of guided learning is different than the learning that occurred when I used a traditional activity-based program in my previous years of teaching Physical and Health Education, since I did not regularly provide opportunities for all students to offer their input. From this self-study, my teaching praxis has become more inclusive to the different ideas that my students have, since I now ensure that each student is part of the planning process before they begin playing games with each other. I also demonstrate the type of conversations that I want my students to engage in, by sharing my own thoughts and feelings about various games during class time. Furthermore, I now encourage my students to ask each other questions and offer feedback to one another, so that they can help each other to feel included within our Physical and Health Education classes.

Exporting DDI 3.0 from Computer Assisted Interviewing Systems
Creators: name: Iverson, Jeremy
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2009

description: Computer Assisted Interviewing systems are rich sources of metadata, but current practice in creating data and documentation from CAI systems does not generally capture this richness, nor does it structure the documentation content optimally for archiving. This session will focus on innovations in data production that permit the export of comprehensive DDI 3.0 documentation that provides not only an enhanced codebook with integrated question text and full labeling but also documentation of the survey instrument itself, including the universe for each question and the instrument flow logic. Data producers and archivists will learn from each other about how to produce output that is most useful. The workshop will cover mapping an instrument to DDI, using a database to store metadata, exporting to DDI, metadata reuse for surveys with multiple waves, and archival ingest of DDI-compliant metadata.

description: This paper investigates the estimation of different parameters, e.g., propagation distance and flow velocity, by utilizing two fully-absorbing receivers (RXs) in a one-dimensional (1D) environment. The time-varying number of absorbed molecules at each RX and the number of absorbed molecules in a time interval as time approaches infinity are derived. Noisy molecules in this environment, that are released by sources in addition to the transmitter, are also considered. A novel estimation method, namely difference estimation (DE), is proposed to eliminate the effect of noise by using the difference of received signals at the two RXs. For DE, the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) on the variance of estimation is derived. Independent maximum likelihood estimation is also considered at each RX as a benchmark to show the performance advantage of DE. Aided by particle-based simulation, the derived analytical results are verified. Furthermore, numerical results show that DE attains the CRLB and is less sensitive to the change of noise than independent estimation at each RX.

description: The phenomenon of creation of strings, occurring when particles pass through a domain wall and related to the Hanany-Witten effect via dualities, is discussed in ten and nine dimensions. We consider both the particle actions in massive backgrounds as well as the 1/4-supersymmetric particle-string-domain wall supergravity solutions and discuss their physical interpretation. In 10D we discuss the D0-F1-D8 system in massive IIA theory while in 9D the SL(2,R)-generalisation is constructed. It consists of (p,q)-particles, (r,s)-strings and the double domain wall solution of the three different 9D gauged supergravities where a subgroup of SL(2,R) is gauged.

description: Health risks related to the use of pesticides are known and have been documented among farmers and farm workers in India for several crops but not for vegetables. The present study examines health hazards among brassica growers in Karnataka, Gujarat, and West Bengal and identifies factors that influence the occurrence of occupational pesticide hazards. A structured questionnaire was administered to 290 farmers in 59 randomly selected villages. A multinomial logistic regression model was developed to reveal which factors influence the number of signs and symptoms caused by pesticide exposure. About 32% of interviewed vegetable producers experienced no negative health effect, 23% reported between one and three, and 44% experienced four to twelve signs and symptoms. Forty percent used extremely hazardous and highly toxic pesticides, 28% applied more than the recommended dose, and almost 70% spilled pesticide on their bodies. Results showed farmers’ risk awareness, their location, and pesticide spillage had a significant influence on the number of signs and symptoms experienced. Farmers seemed to develop increased risk awareness only through trial and error. Any extension approach should therefore emphasize on information on negative health effects to increase farmers’ risk awareness. The economic loss small-scale farmers incur annually through the ineffective overuse of pesticides in crucifer production in India should be quantified.

Experiences of Stress Amongst Outdoor Learning and Indigenous Education Teacher Candidates
Creators: name: Ho, Jenny Kar Yan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: This study was conducted to learn about Teacher Candidates’ (TCs) experiences of stress at the University of British Columbia (UBC) Teacher Education Program in Vancouver. Teacher Candidates from two elementary cohorts (Outdoor Learning and Indigenous Education) completed two identical surveys in September and December 2020, which consisted of the Perceived Stress Scale and three open-ended questions. According to TCs’ Perceived Stress Scale scores, average stress levels did not change between September to December. However, countless stressors were reported. As a result of COVID-19, online learning emerged as the top stressor for Teacher Candidates in September and December. When questioned about stress management, TCs leaned on similar coping mechanisms between both data collection periods. Early on in September, TCs were hopeful they could overcome their stress. Unfortunately, the optimism faded away by December. In terms of TCs’ opinions on the stress associated with teaching, they were acutely aware the inevitable nature of stress. Furthermore, TCs were hyperaware of the negative consequences of prolonged stress to overall health. Emboldened, TCs were openly critical about the shift to online learning and how the university handled COVID-19 negatively affected stress levels. While this research demonstrated how personal management can mitigate some stress experienced in teacher education, a top-down approach is required for systemic change within teacher education programs.
Filling the Mass Gap: How Kilonova Observations can Unveil the Nature of the Compact Object Merging with the Neutron Star

description: In this letter we focus on the peculiar case of a coalescing compact-object binary whose chirp mass is compatible both with a neutron star-neutron star and black hole-neutron star system, with the black hole in the $\sim 3-5M_\odot$ range defined as the "mass gap". Some models of core-collapse supernovae predict the formation of such low-mass black holes and a recent observation seems to confirm their existence. Here we show that the nature of the companion to the neutron star can be inferred from the properties of the kilonova emission once we know the chirp mass, which is the best constrained parameter inferred from the gravitational signal in low-latency searches. In particular, we find that the kilonova in the black hole-neutron star case is far more luminous than in the neutron star-neutron star case, even when the black hole is non spinning. The difference in the kilonovae brightness arises primarily from the mass ejected during the merger. Indeed, in the considered interval of chirp masses, the mass ejection in double neutron star mergers is at its worst as the system promptly forms a black hole. Instead mass ejection for black hole-neutron star case is at its best as the neutron stars have low mass/large deformability. The kilonovae from black hole-neutron star systems can differ by two to three magnitudes. The outcome is only marginally dependent on the equation of state. The difference is above the systematics in the modeling.

description: Consider $q_n$ a random pointed quadrangulation chosen equally likely among the pointed quadrangulations with $n$ faces. In this paper we show that, when $n$ goes to $+\infty$, $q_n$ suitably normalized converges weakly in a certain sense to a random limit object, which is continuous and compact, and that we name the Brownian map. The same result is shown for a model of rooted quadrangulations and for some models of rooted quadrangulations with random edge lengths. A metric space of rooted (resp. pointed) abstract maps that contains the model of discrete rooted (resp. pointed) quadrangulations and the model of the Brownian map is defined. The weak convergences hold in these metric spaces.

description: We investigate Landau-quantized excitonic absorption and luminescence of monolayer WSe$_2$ under magnetic field. We observe gate-dependent quantum oscillations in the bright exciton and trions (or exciton-polarons) as well as the dark trions and their phonon replicas. Our results reveal spin- and valley-polarized Landau levels (LLs) with filling factors $n = +0, +1$ in the bottom conduction band and $n = -0$ to $-6$ in the top valence band, including the Berry-curvature-induced $n = \pm0$ LLs of massive Dirac fermions. The LL filling produces periodic plateaus in the exciton energy shift accompanied by sharp oscillations in the exciton absorption width and magnitude. This peculiar exciton behavior can be simulated by semi-empirical calculations. The experimentally deduced g-factors of the conduction band (g ~ 2.5) and valence band (g ~ 15) exceed those predicted in a single-particle model (g = 1.5, 5.5, respectively). Such g-factor enhancement implies strong many-body interactions in gated monolayer WSe$_2$. The complex interplay between Landau quantization, excitonic effects, and many-body interactions makes monolayer WSe$_2$ a promising platform to explore novel correlated quantum phenomena.

description: While production of high value vegetables are increasing worldwide, concerns on adverse health and environmental effects of pesticide use in agriculture are also increasing. The concern that farmers use excessive amounts of pesticides leading to health hazards to consumers and pollution of environment through accumulation of excess chemicals in soil and water bodies is common among environmental groups in Sri Lanka too. The objectives of this study were to study trends of pesticide use by vegetable farmers and to understand perceptions and attitudes of urban vegetable consumers on the impact of pesticide use on their health and their awareness on potential remedial measures. Data from seasonal reports of cost of cultivation of agricultural crops were used to analyze changes in pest and disease control practices by farmers. Trends of input use related to pest and disease control were studied using aggregate farm budgets. A primary survey was conducted among 150 semi-urban households to learn about attitudes and perceptions. Findings indicate that the percentage of farmers adopting pest and disease control methods has increased. However, contrary to the popular belief and findings of some studies of overuse of pesticides by farmers, this study reveals that the cost shares, real cost of material, used in pest and disease control in vegetables have declined over time. Consumers in the contrary believe that farmers use excess amounts of pesticides. A contingent valuation survey found that consumers are willing to pay premiums for higher quality vegetables. Although they like to consume pesticide-free vegetables their opinion is that the existing information is insufficient for them to differentiate vegetables during purchasing. The study proposes to develop appropriate extension and action research methods to closely work with farmers to understand and disseminate best practices on environmentally friendly methods of pest control.

description: This study aims to evaluate the cost efficiency of farmers practicing zerotillage wheat and direct-seeded rice under the intervention of the Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) project, primarily funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The focus area of this study is in two regions of India: Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh (EUP). The cost frontier function analysis has revealed that cost efficiency is higher for farmers who were receiving intervention in the rice crop. However, the study reveals very little difference in cost efficiency between with- and without-intervention farmers in the wheat season. The results also show that the main determinants of cost efficiency for with-intervention farmers are age, type of irrigation, and location. For without-intervention farmers, determinant variables are years in school, location, cropping system, type of seed, experience on the farm, and membership in an organization.
