description: We have conducted a survey of 328 protostars in the Orion molecular clouds with ALMA at 0.87 mm at a resolution of $\sim$0.1" (40 au), including observations with the VLA at 9 mm toward 148 protostars at a resolution of $\sim$0.08" (32 au). This is the largest multi-wavelength survey of protostars at this resolution by an order of magnitude. We use the dust continuum emission at 0.87 mm and 9 mm to measure the dust disk radii and masses toward the Class 0, Class I, and Flat Spectrum protostars, characterizing the evolution of these disk properties in the protostellar phase. The mean dust disk radii for the Class 0, Class I, and Flat Spectrum protostars are 44.9$^{+5.8}_{-3.4}$, 37.0$^{+4.9}_{-3.0}$, and 28.5$^{+3.7}_{-2.3}$ au, respectively, and the mean protostellar dust disk masses are 25.9$^{+7.7}_{-4.0}$, 14.9$^{+3.8}_{-2.2}$, 11.6$^{+3.5}_{-1.9}$ Earth masses, respectively. The decrease in dust disk masses is expected from disk evolution and accretion, but the decrease in disk radii may point to the initial conditions of star formation not leading to the systematic growth of disk radii or that radial drift is keeping the dust disk sizes small. At least 146 protostellar disks (35% out of 379 detected 0.87 mm continuum sources plus 42 non-detections) have disk radii greater than 50 au in our sample. These properties are not found to vary significantly between different regions within Orion. The protostellar dust disk mass distributions are systematically larger than that of Class II disks by a factor of $>$4, providing evidence that the cores of giant planets may need to at least begin their formation during the protostellar phase.

description: Prosoeca minimum (Bezzi), comb. n.
 Stenobasipteron minimum Bezzi, 1924: 171.
 Holotype ♀: SOUTH AFRICA: Western Cape: Cape Town / Table Mtn / K. H. Barnard [collector deleted]; R. Tucker / Feb. 1919 [on underside of previous label]; Stenobasipteron / minimum / type ♀ n. sp.; Holotype ♀ / Stenobasipteron / minimum Bezzi [pale red card]. In fair condition, although most tibiae appear to be missing (in SAMC).
 Discussion: The unique female holotype was described from Cape Town’s Table Mountain (Western Cape) in 1919; the species may no longer be extant given the substantial impact of urbanisation there. In his original description, Bezzi (1924) commented that Stenobasipteron minimum was likely the smallest species of South African Nemestrinidae (Bezzi’s body length measurement of 7 mm appears to be accurate). It can now be stated that this is incorrect. Prosoeca pygmea Hull, 1958 is slightly smaller; curiously it was also described from the Western Cape (Mitchell’s Pass, 100 miles from Cape Town).
 When I first saw the locality data of the holotype I became suspicious about its placement in Stenobasipteron, despite the reduced wing alula. Based on my examination of most known material of the genus, I found that it is largely restricted to eastern South Africa, with range extensions into Swaziland, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi. Table Mountain is about 1000 km southwest of the western limit of the genus in the Eastern Cape. This is unlike Prosoeca which is distributed through much of South Africa, including the Western Cape.
 Examination of the holotype reveals that S. minimum does not belong to Stenobasipteron and I hereby transfer it to Prosoeca. It differs from Stenobasipteron in the following character states (character states of Stenobasipteron in parentheses): abdominal dorsum with brown medial vitta (striking body markings absent); head with ocellar protuberance remarkably well developed, bulbous and prominent in profile (ocellar protuberance small and barely evident above eye in profile); proboscis about two­thirds body length (1.0 to 2.0 times body length); abdominal dorsum with T 3 and T 4 bearing obvious erect vestiture (short and recumbent vestiture). Another character state atypical of Stenobasipteron is the development of profuse, elongate pile on the ocellar protuberance.

description: We present LBsoft, an open-source software developed mainly to simulate the hydro-dynamics of colloidal systems based on the concurrent coupling between lattice Boltzmann methods for the fluid and discrete particle dynamics for the colloids. Such coupling has been developed before, but, to the best of our knowledge, no detailed discussion of the programming issues to be faced in order to attain efficient implementation on parallel architectures, has ever been presented to date. In this paper, we describe in detail the underlying multi-scale models, their coupling procedure, along side with a description of the relevant input variables, to facilitate third-parties usage. The code is designed to exploit parallel computing platforms, taking advantage also of the recent AVX-512 instruction set. We focus on LBsoft structure, functionality, parallel implementation, performance and availability, so as to facilitate the access to this computational tool to the research community in the field. The capabilities of LBsoft are highlighted for a number of prototypical case studies, such as pickering emulsions, bicontinuous systems, as well as an original study of the coarsening process in confined bijels under shear.

Inclusive classroom environments : creating space for gender non-conforming, diverse family structures
Creators: name: Krikorian, Cai Anne
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Children who are gender non-conforming (GNC) and children who have diverse family structures (DFS) often experience feelings of not belonging, peer rejection, and lower emotional well-being. Drawing on socio constructivist theory, ecological model of development, queer theory, and dynamic gender development I explore how to create inclusive and supportive classroom environments for children who are GNC or from DFS. In exploring this topic I draw inspiration from Butler's (1990) concept of “ungrounding” the heterosexual matrix and Atkinson and DePalma’s (2008) concept of the heteronormative bias. The heteronormative bias is the assumed “natural order of things” (Atkinson & DePalma, 2008, p. 27) that results in children learning that “normal” families have a mom and a dad; that “normal” boys act like boys, and “normal” girls act like girls. Some children then become “gender policers” who enforce narrow gendered stereotypes which can lead to a toxic learning environment for children who fall outside of the heteronormative bias. I examine how educators can create inclusive classroom environments by “ungrounding” the heteronormative bias while understanding how children’s conceptions of gender and families are influenced by social, family, peer, and literature values and representations. In connecting this review of the literature to practice, I have prepared two “read alouds” for preschool and kindergarten children to introduce children who are GNC or from DFS and to demonstrate how children can be powerful agents in creating inclusive classrooms environments. Based on the findings of this review, I recommend that educators take an active role in responding to instances of “gender policing” and exclusion while empowering children to “unground" the heteronormative bias.
The Surprisingly Small Impact of Magnetic Fields On The Inner Accretion Flow of Sagittarius A* Fueled By Stellar Winds

description: We study the flow structure in 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of accretion onto Sagittarius A* via the magnetized winds of the orbiting Wolf-Rayet stars. These simulations cover over 3 orders of magnitude in radius to reach $\approx$ 300 gravitational radii, with only one poorly constrained parameter (the magnetic field in the stellar winds). Even for winds with relatively weak magnetic fields (e.g., plasma $β$ $\sim$ $10^6$), flux freezing/compression in the inflowing gas amplifies the field to $β$ $\sim$ few well before it reaches the event horizon. Overall, the dynamics, accretion rate, and spherically averaged flow profiles (e.g., density, velocity) in our MHD simulations are remarkably similar to analogous hydrodynamic simulations. We attribute this to the broad distribution of angular momentum provided by the stellar winds, which sources accretion even absent much angular momentum transport. We find that the magneto-rotational instability is not important because of i) strong magnetic fields that are amplified by flux freezing/compression, and ii) the rapid inflow/outflow times of the gas and inefficient radiative cooling preclude circularization. The primary effect of magnetic fields is that they drive a polar outflow that is absent in hydrodynamics. The dynamical state of the accretion flow found in our simulations is unlike the rotationally supported tori used as initial conditions in horizon scale simulations, which could have implications for models being used to interpret Event Horizon Telescope and GRAVITY observations of Sgr A*.

description: Magnetic relaxation of high-pressure synthesized MgB$_2$ bulks with different thickness is investigated. It is found that the superconducting dia-magnetic moment depends on time in a logarithmic way; the flux-creep activation energy decreases linearly with the current density (as expected by Kim-Anderson model); and the activation energy increases linearly with the thickness of sample when it is thinner than about 1 mm. These features suggest that the vortices in the MgB$_2$ are rather rigid, and the pinning and creep can be well described by Kim-Anderson model.

description: A computational investigation of Gemcitabine drug adsorption on the single-walled carbon nanotube covalently modified with polyethylene glycol in a series of the configurations is studied using density functional theory calculations. It is observed that O…H hydrogen bonds are the dominating intermolecular interactions during the complex formation between anti-cancer drug and the nanotube. The studied hydrogen bonded complexes are treated theoretically to elucidate the nature of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds, geometrical structures, the binding energy and electron density topological analysis. The existence of the bond critical points between hydrogen and the electronegative atoms and their concomitant bond paths which connect the bond critical points to the two interacting atoms confirm by Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules method. In addition, considering the charge transfer for all of the adsorbed configurations reveals the capability of the drug molecule to accept precisely the electron from the functionalized carbon nanotube during the drug adsorption on external surface of the carbon nanotube. Also, the effect of weight percent of polyethylene glycol on the drug adsorption strength is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations.

[Phys. Rev. B 64, 214204 (2001)]. We demonstrate that the interaction corrections to the longitudinal conductivity and Hall resistivity predicted by the theory are consistent with each other. This suggests that the anomalous metallic drop in resistivity at B=0 is due to interaction effects and supports the theory of Zala et al.

description: One key issue in the probability density function (PDF) approach for disperse two-phase turbulent flows is to close the diffusion term in the phase space. This study aimed to derive a kinetic equation for particle dispersion in turbulent flows by ensemble averaging over all possible realisations of state transition paths in the phase space. The probability density function is expanded as a series in terms of the cumulants of particle paths in the phase space, by introducing a local path density operator to identify the distribution of particle paths. The expansion enables us to directly obtain a kinetic equation with the diffusion term in closed form. The kinetic equation derived in this study has following features that: (1) it has its coefficients expressed as functions of the cumulants of particle paths in the phase space; (2) it applies to particle dispersion by non-Gaussian random forcing with long correlation time scales; (3) it presents new mechanisms responsible for particle diffusion. An application of the kinetic equation is also presented in this paper.

Symmetry-induced fluctuation relations for dynamical observables irrespective of their behaviour under time-reversal

description: We extend previous work to describe a class of fluctuation relations (FRs) that emerge as a consequence of symmetries at the level of stochastic trajectories in Markov chains. We prove that given such a symmetry, and for a suitable dynamical observable, it is always possible to obtain a FR under a biased dynamics corresponding to the so-called generalized Doob transform. The general transformations of the dynamics that we consider go beyond time-reversal or spatial isometries, and an implication is the existence of FRs for observables irrespective of their behaviour under time-reversal, for example for time-symmetric observables rather than currents. We further show how to deduce in the long-time limit these FRs from the symmetry properties of the generator of the dynamics. We illustrate our results with four examples that highlight the novel features of our work.

 Material examined. Off South Carolina, ALBATROSS, Stn 2663, 29º39’N, 79º49’W, 781 m, 04.05.1886: 1 male 11.3 mm, 1 ovig. female 10.8 mm (syntypes, USNM 11490).
 Diagnosis. Carapace without dorsal spines, cervical groove indistinct; frontal margins between rostrum and antennal spine transverse, and oblique between antennal spine and anterolateral spine; anterolateral spine followed posteriorly by 2 or 3 spines on hepatic margin and 1 spine on anterior branchial margin. Rostrum wide, dorsally weakly carinated, distally trifid, nearly horizontal but slightly upturned distally. Sternites smooth, unarmed; anterior margin of third thoracic sternite with small granules, slightly wider than anterior margin of fourth sternite. Abdominal tergites unarmed; sixth segment bearing posterolateral lobes somewhat exceeding nearly straight transverse median margin. Telson composed of 7 plates. Eyestalk unarmed, slightly movable, partially concealed by rostrum. Antennal peduncle with distomesial and distolateral spines on articles 1 and 2, strong distomesial spine on third segment. Merus of third maxilliped with strong distal spine on extensor margin and 2 spines on flexor border. Chelipeds elongate, longer than first walking legs; merus and carpus with well­developed spines on dorsal and distal borders. Walking legs with spines on extensor margins of merus and carpus; dactylus flexor margin with 7 low triangular teeth, each bearing movable spinule. Epipods on chelipeds, not on walking legs.
 Remarks. This species was briefly described by Benedict (1902) from 2 specimens (male and female) collected off South Carolina at 781 m. No additional material has been reported.
 Munidopsis acuminata belongs to the group of species having epipods on the chelipeds, unarmed eyestalks, the broad, flat and tridentate rostrum, and the unarmed dorsal surface of the carapace and abdomen (Chace 1942, Pequegnat & Pequegnat 1970, 1971). The closest congener is M. anemia n. sp. (see below).

description: We conduct a theoretical study of the nonlinear optical response of a two-dimensional semi-conductor quantum dot supercrystal subjected to a quasi-resonant continuous wave excitation. Aconstituent quantum dot is odeled as a three-level ladder-like system (comprising the ground, theone-exciton, and the bi-exction states). To study the stationary response of the supercrystal, wepropose an exact linear parametric method of solving the nonlinear steady-state problem, whileto address the supercrystal optical dynamics qualitatively, we put forward a novel method to cal-culate the bifurcation diagram of the system. Analyzing the dynamics, we demonstrate that thesupercrystal can exhibit multistability, periodic and aperiodic self-oscillations, and chaotic behavior,depending on parameters of the supercrystal and excitation conditions. The effects originate fromthe interplay of the intrinsic nonlinearity of quantum dots and the retarded inter-dot dipole-dipoleinteraction. The latter provides a positive feedback which results in the exotic supercrystal opticaldynamics. These peculiarities of the supercrystal optical response open up a possibility for all-opticalapplications and devices. In particular, an all-optical switch, a tunable generator of THz pulses (inself-oscillating regime), a noise generator (in chaotic regime), and a tunable bistable mirror can bedesigned.

description: Most areas in the United States produce cucumbers and there is production for commercial fresh market sales in 36 states. Florida, California, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, South Carolina, Maryland, New York, and Michigan are the principal cucumber producing states for this fresh market. The cucumber is not very sensitive to differences in day length and light intensities that occur under field conditions, but it has no resistance even to light frosts. Since cucumber varieties, at present, are not resistant to frost, they cannot be grown successfully as a midwinter crop anywhere in the U.S., except in southern Florida. Occasionally in south Florida, a cucumber crop is wiped out or heavily damaged by cold weather. Florida has not met total U.S. demand for fresh winter cucumbers and much of this demand is met by imports.

description: We study the anomalously large specific heat jump and its systematic change with pressure in CeCoIn$_5$ superconductor. Starting with the general free energy functional of the superconductor for a coupled electron boson system, we derived the analytic result of the specific heat jump of the strong coupling superconductivity occurring in the coupled electron boson system. Then using the two component spin-fermion model we calculate the specific heat coefficient $C(T)/T$ both for the normal and superconducting states and show a good agreement with the experiment of CeCoIn$_5$. Our result also clearly demonstrated that the specific heat coefficient $C(T)/T$ of a coupled electron boson system can be freely interpreted as a renormalization either of the electronic or of the bosonic degrees of freedom.

description: The scope of this dissertation is the evaluation of the bearing capacity of the Holy Temple of Saint Sophia, with a view to reinforcing the construction and reusing it as a place of worship. The study includes a general description of the monument from a historical, architectural and morphological point of view, the analysis of the bearing structure with emphasis on the pathology that appears and the factors that provoke it, the simulation of its load bearing system and its detailed analysis, as well as proposed interventions in order to, finally, make a comparison between the existing and the proposed system.
title: The development of community education and staff development within L.E.A. organisational units
Creators: name: Ringrose, Arthur A
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1985

description: The author draws upon his fundamental beliefs of developing human potential, the value of every individual and a Gestalt perception of community being more than the sum of its parts. Henry Morris held similar beliefs in his vision of Community Education to be developed through 'village colleges' in Cambridgeshire more than sixty years ago. The author asserts that our traditional closed mechanistic educational system is fundamentally flawed for the development of Community Education and change is needed towards a more open organic system in which the focus is upon people and how they as participants define their own educational needs and aspirations. Through an analysis of the development of Community Education and its characteristics the author identifies as a key issue the tension between the community democratically organising its own curriculum and resources and the professionally dominated provision of education. The author draws attention to the need for L.E.A.s to develop a strategy based upon a participative partnership between 'community' and 'professionals' which devolves power to local organisational units of management controlling curriculum and resources and shifts the emphasis of staff development and training from being focussed on professionals towards everyone involved in the management process. Through a holistic approach of 'unit training' staff development and training is proposed as both the agent and catalyst of change needed in the concepts and attitudes of those involved which will recognise new educational approaches enabling personal development, re-define ways and priorities of learning and help people make more effective contributions to a changing society. The author has researched the literature and synthesised findings with his own research and practical experience, eclectically choosing from different philosophies to support his argument. The strategy evolved is related to current developments in Oxfordshire where the author is a L.E.A. adviser for Community Education.

description: Black widows are close binary systems in which a millisecond pulsar is orbited by a companion a few per cent the mass of the sun. It has been suggested that the pulsar's rotationally powered $γ$-ray luminosity gradually evaporates the companion, eventually leaving behind an isolated millisecond pulsar. The evaporation efficiency is determined by the temperature $T_{\rm ch}\propto F^{2/3}$ to which the outflow is heated by the flux $F$ on a dynamical time-scale. Evaporation is most efficient for companions that fill their Roche lobes. In this case, the outflow is dominated by a cap around the L1 point with an angle $θ_g\sim (T_{\rm ch}/T_g)^{1/2}$, and the evaporation time is $t_{\rm evap}=0.46(T_{\rm ch}/T_g)^{-2}\textrm{ Gyr}$, where $T_g>T_{\rm ch}$ is the companion's virial temperature. We apply our model to the observed black widow population, which has increased substantially over the last decade, considering each system's orbital period, companion mass, and pulsar spin-down power. While the original (Fruchter et al. 1988) black widow evaporates its companion on a few Gyr time-scale, direct evaporation on its own is too weak to explain the overall population. We propose instead that the evaporative wind couples to the companion's magnetic field, removes angular momentum from the binary, and maintains stable Roche-lobe overflow. While a stronger wind carries more mass, it also reduces the Alfvén radius, making this indirect magnetic braking mechanism less dependent on the flux $t_{\rm mag}\propto t_{\rm evap}^{1/3}$. This reduces the scatter in evolution times of observed systems, thus better explaining the combined black widow and isolated millisecond pulsar populations.

 Munidopsis aculeata A. Milne­Edwards & Bouvier, 1894: 275; 1899: 82, 97; 1900:327, pl. 31: figs 1–4) (not M. aculeata Henderson, 1888).

 Material examined. Mediterranean Sea, MEDINAUT, Stn MN12 ­ BT3, 35º20’N, 30º16.30’E, 2030 m, 05.12.1998: 1 ovig. female 7.7 mm.

Off Mauritania, TALISMAN, 25º39’N, 18º18’W, 698 m, 09.07.1883: 1 male 7.8 mm (holotype, MNHN).
 Remarks. This species was redescribed and figured by Froglia et al. (2002) from specimens collected in the Mediterranean Sea. The specimens examined here agree quite well with the types (MNHN; see also Froglia et al. 2002). Munidopsis acutispina is very close to M. penescabra Pequegnat & Williams, 1995, from the Caribbean Sea, and a careful comparison of the type material of both species is desirable in order to clarify their taxonomic status. Munidopsis acutispina is characterized by the carapace being convex from side to side, with numerous pointed tubercles, the rostrum narrow triangular, its basal width less than one­third the anterior width of the carapace, the frontal margin convex, the antennal spine small, segments 2 and 3 of the abdomen unarmed, the cornea well exposed and visible in dorsal view, the eye spine mesial and small, the walking legs not reaching the end of chelipeds, the propodi of walking legs of uniform width, with distinct spines, and no epipods on the pereiopods.
 Distribution and habitat. Previously known from off the western Sahara (type locality) and the Azores Islands, between 698 and 845 m (A. Milne­Edwards & Bouvier 1894, 1899, 1900), and from the Mediterranean Sea (W Tyrhenian Sea, Sardinia) between 374 and 1036 m (Froglia et al. 2002). The present material was collected between 830 and 2030 m. Munidopsis acutispina occurs in both hydrothermal (Lost City, central Atlantic Ocean; Gebruk et al. 2002) and cold seep areas (Kazan mud volcano, eastern Mediterranean Sea; Olu­Le Roy et al. 2004).

description: Media forensics has attracted a lot of attention in the last years in part due to the increasing concerns around DeepFakes. Since the initial DeepFake databases from the 1st generation such as UADFV and FaceForensics++ up to the latest databases of the 2nd generation such as Celeb-DF and DFDC, many visual improvements have been carried out, making fake videos almost indistinguishable to the human eye. This study provides an exhaustive analysis of both 1st and 2nd DeepFake generations in terms of facial regions and fake detection performance. Two different methods are considered in our experimental framework: i) the traditional one followed in the literature and based on selecting the entire face as input to the fake detection system, and ii) a novel approach based on the selection of specific facial regions as input to the fake detection system. Among all the findings resulting from our experiments, we highlight the poor fake detection results achieved even by the strongest state-of-the-art fake detectors in the latest DeepFake databases of the 2nd generation, with Equal Error Rate results ranging from 15% to 30%. These results remark the necessity of further research to develop more sophisticated fake detectors.

description: This study evaluates the effect of EPA’s Superfund cleanup program on children’s lead exposure. We linked two decades of blood lead level (BLL) measurements from children in six states with data on Superfund sites and other lead risk factors. We used quasi-experimental methods to identify the causal effect of proximity to Superfund cleanups on rates of elevated BLL. We estimated a difference-in-difference model comparing the change in elevated BLL of children closer to versus farther from lead-contaminated sites before, during, and after cleanup. We also estimated a triple difference model including children near hazardous sites with minimal to no lead contamination as a comparison group. We used spatial fixed effects and matching to minimize potential bias from unobserved differences between the treatment and comparison groups. Results indicate that Superfund cleanups lowered the risk of elevated BLL for children living within 2 kilometers of lead-contaminated sites 8 to18 percent.

Color Variability of Asteroids in SDSS Moving Object Catalog

description: We report a detection of statistically significant color variations for a sample of 7,531 multiply observed asteroids that are listed in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Moving Object Catalog. Using 5-band photometric observations accurate to ~0.02 mag, we detect color variations in the range 0.06-0.11 mag (rms). These variations appear uncorrelated with asteroids physical characteristics such as diameter (in the probed 1-10 km range), taxonomic class, and family membership. Despite such a lack of correlation, which implies a random nature for the cause of color variability, a suite of tests suggest that the detected variations are not instrumental effects. In particular, the observed color variations are incompatible with photometric errors, and, for objects observed at least four times, the color change in the first pair of observations is correlated with the color change in the second pair. These facts strongly suggest that the observed effect is real, and also indicate that for some asteroids color variations are larger than for others. The detected color variations can be explained as due to inhomogeneous albedo distribution over an asteroid surface. Although relatively small, these variations suggest that fairly large patches with different color than their surroundings exist on a significant fraction of asteroids. This conclusion is in agreement with spatially resolved color images of several large asteroids obtained by NEAR spacecraft and HST.

description: In this study, we sought to compose consortia of plant growth-promoting (PGP) and trace element tolerant bacteria, to improve plant growth and inhibit uptake and translocation of trace elements, eventually allowing the cultivation of profitmaking crops on trace elements polluted soils, reducing the risks of entrance of these elements into the food chain. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) was grown on two polluted military soils (MS1 and MS2) in greenhouse microcosms and inoculated with three different bacterial consortia (C1, C2, C3). Growth and physiological status of the plants were unaffected during the experiment with the inoculation. After 2 months, plants were harvested. Consortium C2 and C3 decreased Pb shoot bioaccumulation by respectively 80–85% when plants were grown in the MS1 and even to concentrations below detection limit in plants grown in MS2. Differences in uptake and (sub)cellular localization of Pb and Cd in selected bacterial isolates were investigated in vitro by TEM-EDX. Pb absorption was observed by Bacillus wiedmanni ST29 and Bacillus paramycoides ST9 cultures. While adsorption at the bacterial cell wall was observed by Bacillus paramycoides ST9 and retention in the extracellular matrix by Cellulosimicrobium cellulans ST54.
