Educational technology

description: As postsecondary institutions increasingly integrate technology into developmental education, it becomes important to understand how technology is used in these programs, what challenges institutions have encountered relating to the technology, and what considerations institutional leaders take into account when deciding whether and how to integrate technology in developmental education. This study from the Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness (CAPR) explores these questions, drawing from semi-structured interviews with key personnel from 31 open-access two-year public colleges, 11 broad-access four-year public colleges, and 41 state-level organizations overseeing such colleges. The authors find that institutions are integrating a variety of instructional, course management, and student support technologies into developmental education. In doing so, institutions have encountered a number of challenges, particularly with regard to end-user difficulties with technology.

The authors also find that evidence of effectiveness of technology for improving educational outcomes was considered by a number of organizations when making decisions about technology use in developmental education; however, other considerations—particularly those based on costs and resources—were also quite influential. Indeed, such economic considerations were described in interviews more often than evidence of effectiveness by respondents discussing reasons for using technology in developmental education.

description: This set of tools aims to help community colleges and broad-access four-year colleges assess their work on technology-mediated advising and student support, sometimes referred to as Integrated Planning and Advising for Student Success (iPASS). This work involves moving from a model of advising focused on information provision or course registration to one in which advising is sustained, strategic, integrated, proactive, and personalized (SSIPP) —in which students have a dedicated advisor who can connect them to a coherent, institution-wide network of services.

The rubric titled Technology-Mediated Advising and Student Support: An Institutional Self-Assessment offers guidance on broader institutional structures and processes that support a holistic advising model. This self-assessment tool is designed to allow institutions to evaluate how well they are doing in providing holistic student support.

The interactive tool titled Implementing Holistic Student Support: A Practitioner’s Guide to Key Structures and Processes focuses on the specifics of designing and delivering advising and student support services. It is designed to help institutions identify which pieces of holistic student support are already in place and to make plans for implementing those that are not. The information contained in this tool is also available in PowerPoint format for those wishing to lead group discussions about the state of advising and student support at their institution. The PowerPoint can be used to present core concepts while others follow along and make notes directly in the framework.

Together, these tools offer a comprehensive blueprint for redesigning advising and student support. (Colleges in earlier stages of advising redesign may refer to CCRC's self-assessment tool titled Evaluating Your College's Readiness for Technology Adoption.)

description: In this paper we continue the study, initiated in arXiv:1009.3498 and arXiv:1104.1793, of the classical integrability of Green-Schwarz superstrings in AdS(4) x CP(3) and AdS(2) x S(2) x T(6) superbackgrounds whose spectrum contains non-supercoset worldsheet degrees of freedom corresponding to broken supersymmetries in the bulk. We derive an explicit expression, to all orders in the coset fermions and to second order in the non-coset fermions, which extends the supercoset Lax connection in these backgrounds with terms depending on the non-coset fermions. An important property of the obtained form of the Lax connection is that it is invariant under Z_4-transformations of the superisometry generators and the spectral parameter. This demonstrates that the contribution of the non-coset fermions does not spoil the Z_4-symmetry of the super-coset Lax connection which is of crucial importance for the application of Bethe-ansatz techniques. The expressions describing the AdS(4) x CP(3) and AdS(2) x S(2) x T(6) superstring sigma--models and their Lax connections have a very similar form. This is because their amount of target-space supersymmetries complement each other to 32=24+8, the maximal number of 10d type II supersymmetries. As a byproduct, this similarity has allowed us to obtain the form of the geometry of the complete type IIA AdS(2) x S(2) x T(6) superspace to all orders in the coset fermions and to the second order in the non-coset ones.

Analysis of user experience and behavior in wireless streaming video viewing

Year: 2020

description: Online streaming is one of the most popular services available over the Internet. Today video is increasingly consumed over wireless networks with their far higher packet loss rate compared with wired networks. It generates video impairments that degrade user experience.We studied video impairments caused by packet losses with a realistic setting. We found that viewers prefer high-resolution videos with some impairments to smooth low-resolution videos. It disagrees with the HTTP adaptive streaming protocol, which sacrifices resolution for smoothness. Additionally, viewers ignore some short impairments and feel that block-artifacts impairment occurring after a freeze is acceptable. We are the first to reveal that impairment occurrence order and inter-impairment interval length influence user experience differently. These findings show the feasibility of improving user experience by reordering and balancing impairment occurrences.In addition, we conducted experiments on observing users streaming video viewing behaviors under packet loss wireless networks. We have observed nine types of behaviors including system level behaviors and video player level behaviors. We noticed that low video quality and perceivable video impairments are key factors to motivate users take actions and users usually choose behaviors they believe can improve viewing experience. Also, the sequence of behaviors user has taken follows some particular orders. According to these observations, we propose a novel user video watching behavior prediction model that achieves 94.7% accuracy. Moreover, we created cognitive models that explain how video quality variations and human memories play roles in users’ behavior decision making. Findings show the feasibility of improving user experience by reordering and balancing impairment occurrences.Our study results and the user behavior prediction model provide promising ideas and tools for enhancing user experience under crowded networks where video impairments are unavoidable and optimizing network resource and user management via human engineering.

description: This paper explores the history of Japanese fiscal policy over the past two decades with the aim of better understanding where previous forecasts have erred. As such, Japan provides an important case study of how a country facing intense fiscal pressures can avoid a hyperinflation or financial panic. We find that there were three key forces that likely improved Japan’s fiscal situation relative to more pessimistic predictions. First, the Japanese government has shown remarkable ability to hold down per capita expenditures on social pensions and healthcare. Second, the Japanese government has been able to raise taxes substantially. Third, the remarkable monetary policy pursued by the Bank of Japan has resulted in a dramatic decline in the amount of government bonds held by the private sector.

We then study the quantum gauge transformations for this ABJM theory in gaugeon formalism. We will also analyse the extended BRST symmetry for this ABJM theory in gaugeon formalism and show that these BRST transformations for this theory are nilpotent and this in turn leads to the unitary evolution of the $\mathcal{S}$-matrix.

description: The proliferation of spaceborne radio frequency interference (RFI) is threatening the operation of VLBI. In particular, mega-constellations, such as Starlink, OneWeb, and Amazon Kuiper, pose a significant threat since some of these satellites will emit signals in the upper-frequency range of the VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS). The power of these signals may saturate the amplifiers of VLBI antennas, causing nonlinearities within the observations. Furthermore, some future InSAR satellites, such as the NISAR mission, might emit signals strong enough to permanently damage the highly sensitive VLBI hardware. We will present our approach for an active mitigation strategy that modifies the current VLBI observing strategy to avoid observations in the direction of spaceborne RFI. However, active avoidance means additional constraints during the observation planning. We will present results of the investigation the impact of these constraints w.r.t. the precision of the geodetic parameters using simulations and compare it to a situation (1) with active avoidance, (2) without active avoidance, where affected observations are lost and simply removed from the simulations, and (3) without active avoidance and no spaceborne RFI being present. Our simulations are based on different VGOS networks and satellite mega-constellation expansion stages. We will discuss to which extent our approach can help to avoid spaceborne RFI but also highlight its limitations and necessary development steps toward operational use. Finally, we will discuss the practical requirements of active mitigation of spaceborne RFI based on scheduling. Here, the accuracy of the orbit prediction seems to play a crucial role. With the current observation strategy of submitting a schedule seven days prior to observation, significant error margins must be applied to the satellite orbits. We will also present recent developments in storing and providing satellite orbit information in the form of two-line-elements (TLE) that will be used in the current scheduling pipelines.

description: Artists have always challenged the limits of the legal, but in recent years, there has been a shift from works of art that offend or upset to those that merely run afoul of something very mundane: online terms of service. This Note argues that new media artists working primarily with social media must be aware of the potential liability inherent in any project that involves a violation of user agreements. If artists continue to violate the user agreements of social media websites—whether purposefully or by accident—there are serious implications for legal liability. With Richard Prince standing at the helm of a new breed of artist-plaintiff, the new media movement is beginning to witness the very tangible presence of litigation in even the most intangible of artworks.

description: The 40% Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey catalog (α.40) of approximately 10,150 HI-selected galaxies is used to analyze the clustering properties of gas-rich galaxies. By employing the Landy-Szalay estimator and a full covariance analysis for the two-point galaxy-galaxy correlation function, we obtain the real-space correlation function and model it as a power law, ξ(r) = (r/r_0)^(-γ), on scales less than 10 h^{-1} Mpc. As the largest sample of blindly HI-selected galaxies to date, α.40 provides detailed understanding of the clustering of this population. We find γ= 1.51 +/- 0.09 and r_0 = 3.3 +0.3, -0.2 h^{-1} Mpc, reinforcing the understanding that gas-rich galaxies represent the most weakly clustered galaxy population known; we also observe a departure from a pure power law shape at intermediate scales, as predicted in ΛCDM halo occupation distribution models. Furthermore, we measure the bias parameter for the α.40 galaxy sample and find that HI galaxies are severely antibiased on small scales, but only weakly antibiased on large scales. The robust measurement of the correlation function for gas-rich galaxies obtained via the α.40 sample constrains models of the distribution of HI in simulated galaxies, and will be employed to better understand the role of gas in environmentally-dependent galaxy evolution.

None of Your Business: Protecting the Right to Write Anonymous Business Reviews Online

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law
subject: Freedom of speech
subject: Anonymous persons
subject: Constitutional amendments

description: This Note analyzes the fine balance between First Amendment protection afforded to anonymous online business reviews and the state’s interest in removing false communications made about a business or business owner. Part I traces the development of anonymity as a protected First Amendment right and will also explain the rise of Internet speech and the protections of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act for ISPs like Yelp and TripAdvisor.

Part II illustrates the inconsistent application of three conflicting standards used for unmasking anonymous speakers on the Internet and will interpret cases that address these concerns in the context of online business reviews. This section will also touch on the significance of the unanimous passage of the Consumer Review Fairness Act of 2016 and what its enactment into law means for the future of online business reviews. Finally, this section will distinguish commercial speech from non-commercial speech and explain why the distinction is relevant to the level of protection afforded to online business reviews.

In Part III, this Note argues that upon receiving a motion to quash from an anonymous business reviewer, courts should incorporate a totality of the circumstances analysis in addition to balancing the interests of the First Amendment with the right to redress against defamatory harms. This section also argues that first-hand opinions about business experiences and commercial goods and services are usually not commercial speech; and therefore, should receive more protection than traditional commercial speech.

In Part IV, this Note concludes by explaining that considerations of the type of speech, the forum used, and the context in which it is posted online should guide the courts’ analysis prior to the decision to unmask the author of an anonymous online business review. As part of this totality of the circumstances analysis, courts should keep in mind that forums that do not employ fact-checking protections should not face the same heightened liability as those that do fact-check online communications. Affording less liability to ISPs like Yelp and TripAdvisor than newspapers with extensive layers of editorial support makes sense long-term because consumers have become savvier at determining the reliability of business reviews and are more keen at sifting through the helpful and unhelpful reviews on their own. With this in mind, it would be more beneficial to allow all candid opinions to enter the proverbial marketplace of ideas with the ultimate determination of reliability in the hands of those at their keyboards rather than the businessmen and women who have been criticized.12 As this Note illustrates, we need anonymous business reviews, for without them, there may be trepidation that businesses will take advantage of consumers’ naïve hearts and minds.
Dense DM clumps seeded by cosmic string loops and DM annihilation

description: We develop a model of production of the very dense clumps of DM in RD epoch due to the accretion of DM on the loops of cosmic strings as the seeds. At some time the loops disappear, for example due to the gravitational radiation, and the remaining dense clumps produce the enhancement of the annihilation signal. We take into account the velocity distribution of the strings, and consider the two extreme regimes of DM annihilation: fast decay and continuous evaporation. The produced annihilation flux of gamma radiation is detectable, and for some parameters of DM particles and the strings can exceed the extragalactic flux of the gamma-radiation observed by Fermi. For the fixed parameters of DM particles (e.g. neutralino with fixed masses and cross-section of annihilation) one can obtain the limits on the basic string parameter, tension μ, which is stronger than (more general) limits obtained from WMAP observations, cosmological nucleosynthesis and gravitational lensing. In particular for the neutralino with 100 GeV mass we exclude the interval 5\times10^{-10}

The relationship between trust and organizational culture change

description: This qualitative, instrumental case study explores the work of four senior leaders and 29 of their subordinates in a large Canadian bank during the implementation of significant organizational/cultural change. Cultural reengineering, downsizing, and mergers have become commonplace in many of today's organizations. These changes have created upheaval and uncertainty within organizations and among their employees (Schein, 2004). At the heart of these upheavals is the issue of trust - can we trust the organization, its leaders, and each other to do what is 'right'? This research is intended to provide a mechanism to explore certain aspects of trust formation and sustainment, as well as an understanding of the changing role of leader and employee as they undertake to change an organizational culture. Trust is a critical component of a healthy organization (Greenleaf, 1998; Wheatley & Kellner-Rogers, 1999) and is the glue that binds organizational members together and allows people to interact most effectively with each other (Boverie & Kroth, 2001; Johnson, 2007). The findings support the importance of trust for successful culture change initiatives. Trust is built through relationships; the success of a trusting relationship is dependent upon both the leader and the employee. The research supported the findings of Mayer, Davis and Schoorman (1995) and Whitener, Brodt, Korsgaard, and Werner (1998), in particular, the importance of leadership role-modeling, integrity, benevolence, fairness, and inclusiveness in developing a trusting relationship. Findings differed from theory in a few key areas: (a) the ability attribute as a factor of perceived trustworthiness, (b) the importance of one's propensity to trust, (c) the factors that contribute to one's propensity, (d) the subjective nature of trust, and (e) the need to have a confidant to whom one can turn during periods of change. The findings supported the critical importance of, and interconnectivity between, relationship building and trust (Caldwell & Hayes, 2007; Dirks & Skarlicki, 2004) as well as Bolman and Deal' s (1997, 2001), Deal and Kennedy's (1999), Schein's (1999a, 1999b, 2004 ), and Wheatley' s ( 1999, 2002, 2005) research on culture and change. In addition, the data revealed a relationship between trust and the servant leadership theory of Robert Greenleaf ( 1998). Additional insights are provided for members of organizations undergoing culture change.

The enduring local: representations of land and home in the Anglo-Caribbean
Creators: name: Deonarine, Phedra
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: This dissertation draws on approaches in ecocriticism, critical race theory, and decolonialism to interrogate the ways in which Caribbean space is represented in Anglo-Caribbean literature. Using archival research, visual culture, literary criticism, and Caribbean history, it traces how colonialism shaped the current use of the land. This legacy is seen in the willful ecological destruction of the land, the history of violent labor practices, and the economic and ecological vulnerability of the islands. These violent practices were strategically employed by the early Anglo—colonists like Richard Ligon and William Blathwayt who sought to flatten Caribbean space into colonial intellectual property. Early nationalist writers, and subsequently literature from the contemporary Caribbean, wrestled with this flattening by indicating the ways in which the land was knowable among the locals, and how this knowledge differed from the colonial flattening. This dissertation argues that contemporary Caribbean authors like Shivanee Ramlochan, Dionne Brand, and Shani Mootoo create local intimate spaces and use queer love between women to reimagine a more inclusive local space no longer tied to neocolonial economic models. Building on the work of Belinda Edmondson and Shalini Puri, this dissertation posits douglarization, the cultural hybridization of the Afro- and Indo- diasporas in the Anglo-Caribbean, as a means of creating a localized home space that addresses the socio-economic concerns of the descendants of plantation laborers. These 21st century authors plot a path forward from the narrower, masculinist Anglo-Caribbean literatures of the early nationalist period as practiced by Derek Walcott, proposing a Caribbean future that is broadly reflective of the knowledge and desires of contemporary Anglo-Caribbean people.

description: In diesem Beitrag stellen wir mit dem BMBF-Verbundprojekt QUEST einen Ansatz zur Bestimmung der Nachnutzbarkeit von audiovisuellen, annotierten Sprachdaten vor. Der Fokus des Vorhabens liegt auf Forschungsdaten, die im Rahmen empirischer Forschung in den Bereichen Sprachdokumentation, Sprachkontakt- und Mehrsprachigkeitsforschung entstehen. Zur Evaluierung des Nachnutzungspotentials solcher Sprachdaten sollen einerseits generisch ausgerichtete datentechnische und dokumentatorische Standards für die verschiedenen relevanten Ressourcentypen sowie deren Metadaten und andererseits disziplinspezifische Kurationskriterien, die auf bestimmte Nachnutzungsszenarien ausgerichtet sind, entwickelt werden. In Bezug auf die sprachwissenschaftliche Sekundärnutzung mehrsprachiger Daten werden für die spezifischen Nachnutzungsszenarien ‚Lernerkorpora‘ und Korpora gedolmetschter Gespräche beispielsweise Evaluationskriterien für die Übersetzung entwickelt und Fragen nach Metadatenstandards behandelt. Im Rahmen einer Erprobung von Methoden der Qualitätssicherung im Bereich heterogener digitaler Sprachdaten strebt das Forschungsvorhaben an, die Prüfung von Qualitätsstandards und Kurationskriterien als datentechnische Dienstleistung anzubieten. Dazu wird für ausgewählte Ressourcentypen zum Projektende ein System der automatischen kontinuierlichen Qualitätskontrolle implementiert.

description: Cosmological precision data can be used to set very strict constraints on Axions and Axion-like particles (ALPs) produced thermally in the big bang. We briefly review the known bounds and propose two new constraints for Axions and ALPs decaying in the early universe, based upon the concomitant dilution of baryon and neutrino densities, using WMAP7 and other cosmological data.

description: An efficient optimal-control theory based on the Krotov method is introduced for a non-Markovian open quantum system with a time-nonlocal master equation in which the control parameter and the bath correlation function are correlated. This optimal-control method is developed via a quantum dissipation formulation that transforms the time-nonlocal master equation to a set of coupled linear time-local equations of motion in an extended auxiliary Liouville space. As an illustration, the optimal-control method is applied to find the control sequences for high-fidelity Z gates and identity gates of a qubit embedded in a non-Markovian bath. Z gates and identity gates with errors less than 10^{-5} for a wide range of bath decoherence parameters can be achieved for the non-Markovian open qubit system with control over only the σz term. The control-dissipation correlation and the memory effect of the bath are crucial in achieving the high-fidelity gates.

New approaches to fuel cell diagnostics

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The durability and reliability of fuel cell products need to be improved. The lack of early diagnosis and failure-prevention techniques is one of the limiting factors. This thesis presents a non-invasive method for the early diagnosis of flooding, dehydration and low fuel stoichiometry (three common failure modes). The method is based on micro sensing electrodes (SE) that are placed at appropriate locations in a single cell. These electrodes have a characteristic potential response to each of the failure modes, which enables detection prior to overall fuel cell failure. The specific features in the measured responses (or combinations thereof) can be used to discern between different failure modes, and initiate corrective actions. This thesis also reports on the separation of anodic and cathodic potentials in a working fuel cell via reference electrodes maintained at constant conditions. The reference electrodes consisted of four platinized platinum electrode wires and two patches of the same catalyst layer used in the anode. All the reference electrodes were unaffected by the operating conditions of the fuel cell and those with patches provided the most stable potentials. Individual anodic and cathodic overpotentials (activation, ohmic, concentration and mass transport) were obtained in a segmented and un-segmented fuel cell for the first time. An array of reference electrodes and gases with different diffusion coefficients were used to discern the different overpotentials. The results show that the anodic overpotentials cannot be ignored, even if the conditions are changed at the cathode only. The oxygen concentration has an effect on the anode and in particular hydrogen oxidation and proton flux. Under dry conditions the current in-plane gradients are very large and the heat generation profiles are affected, creating an uneven temperature distribution in the catalyst layer due to concurrent effects of the half-cell reactions and the water vaporization. The combination of reference electrodes and multi-component gas analysis, allows the measurement and calculation of kinetic and diffusion parameters that can be used for modeling and to understand the behavior of different layers of a fuel cell.

description: We have operated a liquid-argon large-electron-multiplier time-projection chamber (LAr LEM-TPC) with a large active area of 76 $\times$ 40 cm$^2$ and a drift length of 60 cm. This setup represents the largest chamber ever achieved with this novel detector concept. The chamber is equipped with an immersed built-in cryogenic Greinacher multi-stage high-voltage (HV) multiplier, which, when subjected to an external AC HV of $\sim$1 kV$_{\mathrm{pp}}$, statically charges up to a voltage a factor of $\sim$30 higher inside the LAr vessel, creating a uniform drift field of $\sim$0.5 kV/cm over the full drift length. This large LAr LEM-TPC was brought into successful operation in the double-phase (liquid-vapor) operation mode and tested during a period of $\sim$1 month, recording impressive three-dimensional images of very high-quality from cosmic particles traversing or interacting in the sensitive volume. The double phase readout and HV systems achieved stable operation in cryogenic conditions demonstrating their good characteristics, which particularly suit applications for next-generation giant-scale LAr-TPCs.

Authors’ Human Rights and Copyright Policy

description: Few would likely disagree with the observation made by Graeme Dinwoodie in this journal some seventeen years ago that “[i]t is increasingly impossible to analyze intellectual property law and policy without reference to international lawmaking.” International instruments influence the shape of domestic intellectual property law, and, in turn, have become vehicles for exporting domestic norms. And international law can, and should, inform the interpretation of domestic statutes, including those in the area of intellectual property.
This Article argues that human rights guarantees to protect authors’ moral and material interests should be included in the “international lawmaking” that is considered relevant to domestic intellectual property law and policy. In the analysis that follows, the phrase “authors’ human rights” is used to describe human rights commitments to protect authors’ moral and material interests in their work. The label “international intellectual property law” is used to denote the international instruments typically included in the “conventional list.” While this nomenclature will assist with the analysis, one of the key points advanced in this Article is that authors’ human rights should be considered a part of international intellectual property law, not separate from it.

description: Possible non-standard top-quark interactions with the gluon and the W boson induced by SU(3) X SU(2) X U(1) gauge-invariant dimension-6 effective operators are studied for hadron-collider experiments. Current limits on top-gluon couplings are presented by using the latest experimental data of t t-bar productions at the Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The optimal-observable procedure is applied to the charged-lepton distributions in p p -> t t-bar X -> l^+ X' (l = e or mu) at the LHC in order to estimate the expected statistical uncertainties in measurements of those non-standard top-gluon and top-W couplings that contribute to this process in the leading order.
