description: We prove an exponential approximation for the law of approximate occurrence of typical patterns for a class of Gibssian sources on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\ge2$. From this result, we deduce a law of large numbers and a large deviation result for the waiting time of distorted patterns.

description: We investigate the first-passage dynamics of symmetric and asymmetric Lévy flights in a semi-infinite and bounded intervals. By solving the space-fractional diffusion equation, we analyse the fractional-order moments of the first-passage time probability density function for different values of the index of stability and the skewness parameter. A comparison with results using the Langevin approach to Lévy flights is presented. For the semi-infinite domain, in certain special cases analytic results are derived explicitly, and in bounded intervals a general analytical expression for the mean first-passage time of Lévy flights with arbitrary skewness is presented. These results are complemented with extensive numerical analyses.

description: Limited research exists that focuses on at-risk undergraduate students’ engagement during their use of educational escape rooms (EER). There is even less literature on the actual processes and outcomes of their EER learning and engagement. This study utilized a qualitative methodological framework, incorporating descriptive and numerical data, to explore at-risk undergraduates’ perceptions of their learning and engagement in an EER, their attributions of these outcomes, and actual learning outcomes. The study concluded that at-risk undergraduates' perceptions of learning and engagement revealed positive benefits from participating in the EER , that the at-risk undergraduates’ perceived gains in the areas of interest in learning about commas, and self-rated ability levels before and after the EER experience and actual gains were recorded. Implications of this research are that EERs could engage at-risk undergraduates academically and could provide support for learning. Further, EERs can be used as a tool for educators to

description: The study of lowest eigenmodes of the covariant Laplacian in fundamental representation of the gauge group revealed their specific localization properties. These may bear information on confinement of fundamental scalar particles in SU(2) Yang-Mills vacuum. It was expected that scalar particle eigenmodes in other representations would be localized in different physical volumes. However simulations show strikingly different results for the adjoint and higher (J=3/2) representations. Apart from much higher extent of localization, we find evidence of different scaling behavior of localized eigenmodes.

A Generative Machine Learning-Based Approach for Inverse Design of Multilayer Metasurfaces

description: The synthesis of a metasurface exhibiting a specific set of desired scattering properties is a time-consuming and resource-demanding process, which conventionally relies on many cycles of full-wave simulations. It requires an experienced designer to choose the number of the metallic layers, the scatterer shapes and dimensions, and the type and the thickness of the separating substrates. Here, we propose a generative machine learning (ML)-based approach to solve this one-to-many mapping and automate the inverse design of dual- and triple-layer metasurfaces. Using this approach, it is possible to solve multiobjective optimization problems by synthesizing thin structures composed of potentially brand-new scatterer designs, in cases where the inter-layer coupling between the layers is non-negligible and synthesis by traditional methods becomes cumbersome. Various examples to provide specific magnitude and phase responses of $x$- and $y$-polarized scattering coefficients across a frequency range as well as mask-based responses for different metasurface applications are presented to verify the practicality of the proposed method.

description: A history and drama of the development of quantum probability theory is outlined starting from the discovery of the Plank's constant exactly a 100 years ago. It is shown that before the rise of quantum mechanics 75 years ago, the quantum theory had appeared first in the form of the statistics of quantum thermal noise and quantum spontaneous jumps which have never been explained by quantum mechanics. Moreover, the only reasonable probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory put forward by Max Born was in fact in irreconcilable contradiction with traditional mechanical reality and classical probabilistic causality. This led to numerous quantum paradoxes, some of them due to the great inventors of quantum theory such as Einstein and Schroedinger. They are reconsidered in this paper from the modern quantum probabilistic point of view.

description: The overall purpose of this study is to prefigure the feasibility of Problem Based Learning (PBL) for building research and employability capacity of MA-students in the context of Gulu University. Following a description of the basic tenets of PBL, we explain how PBL was used in experimental community outreach workshops for MA-students between 2016 and 2019. More specifically we identify traces of traditional learning practices and discuss to what extent the new learning approach might change the student-teacher power relationship. Methodologically and analytically, our study draws on a practice theory model developed by Kemmis and Mutton (2012). Although our findings indicate subtle traces of a traditional student-teacher relationship, the analyses indicate that the PBL learning mode is a promising candidate for strengthening research capacity in view of preparing students for post-graduate employability and community transformation. The workshops were organized collaboratively as part of the Danida-funded programme Building Stronger Universities.

Sgr A* in context: daily flares as a probe of the fundamental X-ray emission process in accreting black holes
Creators: name: Markoff, Sera
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Our central Galactic supermassive black hole, Sgr A*, exists mostly in a very stable, extremely low-luminosity (~10^{-9} L_Edd), thermal quiescent state, which is interrupted roughly daily by a brief, nonthermal X-ray flare. Because they are not accompanied by significant changes in the radio wavelengths, the flares make Sgr A* unusual in the context of black holes accreting at slightly higher rates. Those sources display a radio/X-ray luminosity correlation whose normalization scales with central mass, and that holds over orders of magnitude in accretion power. There is significant scatter in this correlation, due in part to measurement uncertainties and intrinsic variability. By studying the correlation in sources bracketing Sgr A* in radio luminosity and whose physical parameters are well measured, we can derive a statistical measure of this local scatter. We find that Sgr A* in quiescence and the lower intensity flares fall well below the correlation in X-ray luminosity. The brightest flares are consistent within the scatter, which may indicate an upper bound on the X-ray luminosity. This trend is suggestive of a state transition at the extreme low end of accretion activity, only above which the radio/X-ray correlation is tracked. This scenario is easily testable because it must fulfill three unique observational predictions: 1) As long as Sgr A* remains at its current radio luminosity, no X-ray flare will be seen which statistically exceeds the prediction of the correlation, 2) no source already on the correlation will be seen to flare in the X-rays similar to Sgr A* (i.e., without corresponding increases in the radio luminosity), and 3) sources below a critical accretion rate or luminosity will show similar flares as Sgr A*, on timescales appropriate to their masses.

description: In order to simplify and optimize the operation of our home made torque magnetometer we created a new software system. The architecture is based on parallel, independently running instrument handlers communicating with a main control program. All programs are designed as command driven state machines which greatly simplifies their maintenance and expansion. Moreover, as the main program may receive commands not only from the user interface, but also from other parallel running programs, an easy way of automation is achieved. A program working through a text file containing a sequence of commands and sending them to the main program suffices to automatically have the system conduct a complex set of measurements. In this paper we describe the system's architecture and its implementation in LabVIEW.

description: We consider a semiclassical formulation for the density of states (DOS) of disordered systems in any dimension. We show that this formulation becomes very accurate when the correlation length of the disorder potential is large. The disorder potential does not need to be smooth and is not limited to the perturbative regime, where the disorder is small. The DOS is expressed in terms of a convolution of the disorder distribution function and the non-disordered DOS. We apply this formalism to evaluate the broadening of Landau levels and to calculate the specific heat in disordered systems.

description: The dynamics of the process $ e^+e^- \to π^+π^-π^0 $ is studied in the energy region from 1.15 to 2.00 GeV using data accumulated with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. The Dalitz plot distribution and $π^+π^-$ mass spectrum are analyzed in a model including the intermediate states $ρ(770)π$, $ρ(1450)π$, and $ωπ^0$. As a result, the energy dependences of the $ρ(770)π$ and $ρ(1450)π$ cross sections and the relative phases between the $ρ(770)π$ amplitude and the $ρ(1450)π$ and $ωπ^0$ amplitudes are obtained. The $ρ(1450)π$ cross section has a peak in the energy region of the $ω(1650)$ resonance (1.55-1.75 GeV). In this energy range the contributions of the $ρ(770)π$ and $ρ(1450)π$ states are of the same order of magnitude. No resonance structure near 1.65 GeV is observed in the $ρ(770)π$ cross section. We conclude that the intermediate state $ρ(1450)π$ gives a significant contribution to the decay of $ω(1650)\toπ^+π^-π^0$, whereas the $ρ(770)π$ mechanism dominates in the decay $ω(1420)\toπ^+π^-π^0$.

How to provide "live help" : the effects of text-to-speech voice and 3D avatar on perception of presence in electronic shopping
Creators: name: Qiu, Lingyun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: With the prevalence of online shopping, companies began to provide real-time communications on their websites to facilitate human-to-human interactions between sales representative and online customers. This study investigates the interface design of such "Live Help" functions. More specifically, it attempts to understand whether the implementation of Text-To-Speech (TTS) voice and 3D avatar in the user interface of "Live Help" affects user's views of the interaction, the service staff, and the website. A laboratory experiment was designed and conducted to empirically test the hypotheses that TTS voice and avatar will have significant effects on user's perception of presence, flow, and trust. A 3 by 2 full factorial design (with 3 different levels on the dimension of voice and 2 different levels on the dimension of avatar) was adopted and 72 university students and staff members were recruited for the study. Results showed that TTS voice had significant effects on increasing user's perceptions of flow and trust, while 3D avatar enhances user's feeling of telepresence. These findings not only provide a good starting point for studying the virtual communication experience in online shopping, but also offer practitioners useful guidelines on how to integrate and improve the interface design of real time human-to-human communications on the shopping websites.

description: We here generalize our previous construction [hep-th/0409019] of non-supersymmetric $p$-branes delocalized in one transverse spatial direction to two transverse spatial directions in supergravities in arbitrary dimensions ($d$). These solutions are characterized by five parameters. We show how these solutions in $d=10$ interpolate between D($p+2$)-anti-D($p+2$) brane system, non-BPS D$(p+1)$-branes (delocalized in one direction) and BPS D$p$-branes by adjusting and scaling the parameters in suitable ways. This picture is very similar to the descent relations obtained by Sen in the open string effective description of non-BPS D$(p+1)$ brane and BPS D$p$-brane as the respective tachyonic kink and vortex solutions on the D$(p+2)$-anti-D$(p+2)$ brane system (with some differences). We compare this process with the T-duality transformation which also has the effect of increasing (or decreasing) the dimensionality of the branes by one.

description: This paper introduces a new method for defining poverty lines based on an individual' s self-evaluation of the household's present situation. The proposed method focuses on the minimum household income necessary to purchase food supplies evaluated by society to be barely adequate. The method is especially useful for evaluation and comparing poverty thresholds derived from different methods. It is also valuable for comparing the official U.S. poverty guidelines across households of different sizes. The approach can be extended to include estimation of thresholds differentiated by various household characteristics and comparison of thresholds across these characteristics.

description: The holographic duality can be extended to include quantum theories with broken coordinate invariance leading to the appearance of the gravitational anomalies. On the gravity side one adds the gravitational Chern-Simons term to the bulk action which gauge invariance is only up to the boundary terms. We analyze in detail how the gravitational anomalies originate from the modified Einstein equations in the bulk. As a side observation we find that the gravitational Chern-Simons functional has interesting conformal properties. It is invariant under conformal transformations. Moreover, its metric variation produces conformal tensor which is a generalization of the Cotton tensor to dimension $d+1=4k-1, k\in Z$. We calculate the modification of the holographic stress-energy tensor that is due to the Chern-Simons term and use the bulk Einstein equations to find its divergence and thus reproduce the gravitational anomaly. Explicit calculation of the anomaly is carried out in dimensions $d=2$ and $d=6$. The result of the holographic calculation is compared with that of the descent method and agreement is found. The gravitational Chern-Simons term originates by Kaluza-Klein mechanism from a one-loop modification of M-theory action. This modification is discussed in the context of the gravitational anomaly in six-dimensional $(2,0)$ theory. The agreement with earlier conjectured anomaly is found.

description: This thesis reports on a study examining ideological beliefs about English as well as the associated behaviours (or English language ideologies) and classroom practices of English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) teachers working in state secondary schools in Indonesia. The study identified English language ideological stances held by the teachers, perceived factors mediating the formation and development of the ideological stances, and the role that the ideological stances played in the classroom. The study also revealed contradictions between the teachers’ English language ideological stances and other contextual elements. The teachers’ awareness of and responses to such contradictions led to English language ideological transformations both pragmatically and ontologically.
Exploring the Jet/Accretion Flow Relationship in Low Disk Luminosity Sources

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Astrophysical jets seem to gain strength disproportionate to the power of their associated accretion flow, making low-luminosity sources ideal targets for studies of the role of outflows. Radio/X-ray correlations have supported the case for a strong relationship between the jets and the hard X-ray emitting regions, and here we explore the strongest scenario where the base of the jets subsumes the role of the corona. The properties of coronae, as inferred from spectral models, are very similar to what is empirically required at jet bases assuming conservation laws hold. We present a few preliminary fits to simultaneous radio and X-ray data sets from our GX 339-4 and Cyg X-1 campaigns. The fits are performed in detector space, and include a jet plus thermal disk continuum model, with added Gaussian line and non-relativistic reflection features similar to the approach of other X-ray models. We find that we can fit the entire radio through X-ray spectrum quite well, with any deviation occurring in the line/reflection region. The results suggest that a jet/corona unification can provide a reasonable description of the data. Future work will benefit from a more complex approach to the disk feedback features.

description: A mathematical decision model is used to examine producers' decisions in selecting the optimum slaughter age for domestic deer and the subsequent impact of these decisions on aggregate stock numbers. Under current returns from velvet, producers are shown to be rational in keeping both male (stags) and female (hinds) animals in the herd until they approach their maximum biological age. A reduction in returns from velvet of 66% is needed to alter this age significantly for males. Data from the optimum slaughter age decision are used to project medium-term future venison production and herd numbers. The unique features of attempting to project future supplies in a newly developed livestock industry are discussed.

 Current status: Brueelia chilchil Ansari, 1955e.
 Type host: Turdoides caudata caudata (Dumont).
 Type locality: Bharatpur, Rajputana, India.
 Type material: Ansari (1955e: 54) designated a holotype male and an allotype female, without any paratype and without giving any locality for the host. Then, Ansari (1956g: 160) listed: “ PARATYPES (fifteen males and twenty females) from the type-host in Ansari collection, Lyallpur, 1932. V.11 ”. Considering that this was not the original description, the paratypes have no type status. However, in the NHML, there is one slide [NHML 010670544] containing one male, two females and a nymph with labels reading “ Brueelia ” and a “ T ” in red ink, the host name and the same collecting data as for the “ paratypes ” mentioned above. On the reverse of this slide, another label reads “ Bruelia chilchil Ansari, 1955 ” and “(? Paratypes ”). Gustafsson & Bush (2017: 406) ignored the question mark and the fact that these four lice are not paratypes, erroneously listing them as such. Besides these four specimens, the location of the remaining 32 males and females is unknown. Furthermore, Ansari (1956g: 160) also mentions specimens from Rajputana in the Meinertzhagen collection, without giving numbers of lice or their sex, but without designating them as type material. These specimens have not been located either. There is a slight possibility that the male and one of the females on slide NHML 010670544 may be the holotype and the allotype, but there is no way to confirm this assumption.

description: A dynamic programming approach was used to evaluate the effect of changing the feed input to product price relationship on the beef production management decision process. The dynamic programming model consists of nine submodels describing and analyzing the time-dependent beef production management decision process. The model incorporates biological functions and economic principles. Results clearly showed the importance of the feed-beef price relationships in management decision making. Optimal beef production management strategies were generally consistent with beef production management practices followed in Hawaii under those feed-beef price relationships.

description: Esta tese examina e compara criticamente duas Organizações Regionais de Turismo (RTOs) (mais conhecidas no Brasil como Instancias de Governança Regionais – IGRs) que adotaram diferentes modelos e princípios de governança turística para cumprir suas funções de liderança dentro de suas respectivas áreas geográficas de responsabilidades e influências. É importante ressaltar que as responsabilidades e influência de cada RTO se sobrepõem em sete municípios do Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Esta situação apresenta uma oportunidade distinta no estudo de RTOs internacionalmente para comparar as capacidades de liderança de RTOs na gestão de uma região compartilhada, ou seja, a região do estudo de caso (CSR) para este estudo. As duas RTOs examinadas foram a "Associação Circuito do Ouro" (ACO) e o "Instituto Estrada Real" (IER). Enquanto o IER adotou um modelo de governança de mercado, a ACO adotou um modelo de governança híbrido (hierárquica e de rede). Esta tese contribui significativamente para os estudos turísticos e para os estudos de RTOs e suas respectivas lideranças. Ela vincula com sucesso estudos de governança de destinos, liderança e RTOs, apresenta uma estrutura conceitual de liderança para pesquisa de destinos regionais e mostra como desafios, oportunidades e capacidades em relação às RTOs poderiam ser identificados e informados por teorias de liderança. O estudo também demonstra o impacto dos modelos e princípios de governança sobre as práticas de liderança em RTOs.
A Simple Cooperative Diversity Method Based on Network Path Selection

description: Cooperative diversity has been recently proposed as a way to form virtual antenna arrays that provide dramatic gains in slow fading wireless environments. However most of the proposed solutions require distributed space-time coding algorithms, the careful design of which is left for future investigation if there is more than one cooperative relay. We propose a novel scheme, that alleviates these problems and provides diversity gains on the order of the number of relays in the network. Our scheme first selects the best relay from a set of M available relays and then uses this best relay for cooperation between the source and the destination. We develop and analyze a distributed method to select the best relay that requires no topology information and is based on local measurements of the instantaneous channel conditions. This method also requires no explicit communication among the relays. The success (or failure) to select the best available path depends on the statistics of the wireless channel, and a methodology to evaluate performance for any kind of wireless channel statistics, is provided. Information theoretic analysis of outage probability shows that our scheme achieves the same diversity-multiplexing tradeoff as achieved by more complex protocols, where coordination and distributed space-time coding for M nodes is required, such as those proposed in [7]. The simplicity of the technique, allows for immediate implementation in existing radio hardware and its adoption could provide for improved flexibility, reliability and efficiency in future 4G wireless systems.
