description: Field-trials are of key importance for novel technologies seeking commercialization and wide-spread adoption. This is certainly also the case for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), which allows distant parties to distill a secret key with unconditional security. Typically, QKD demonstrations over urban infrastructures require complex stabilization and synchronization systems to maintain a low Quantum Bit Error (QBER) and high secret key rates over time. Here we present a field-trial which exploits a low-complexity self-stabilized hardware and a novel synchronization technique, to perform QKD over optical fibers deployed in the city center of Padua, Italy. In particular, two techniques recently introduced by our research group are evaluated in a real-world environment: the iPOGNAC polarization encoder was used for the preparation of the quantum states, while the temporal synchronization was performed using the Qubit4Sync algorithm. The results here presented demonstrate the validity and robustness of our resource-effective QKD system, that can be easily and rapidly installed in an existing telecommunication infrastructure, thus representing an important step towards mature, efficient and low-cost QKD systems.

description: We examine the age-dependence of dark matter halo clustering in an unprecedented accuracy using a set of 7 high-resolution cosmological simulations each with $N=1024^3$ particles. We measure the bias parameters for halos over a large mass range using the cross-power-spectrum method that can effectively suppress the random noise even in the sparse sampling of the most massive halos. This enables us to find, for the first time, that younger halos are more strongly clustered than older ones for halo masses $M>10M_{\ast}$, where $M_\ast$ is the characteristic nonlinear mass scale.

description: Theoretisch und empirisch wird das Konstrukt des sprachsensiblen Fachunterrichts vage gefasst. Die Gründe hierfür liegen in unterschiedlichen Konzeptionen der Zielgruppe(n), von Sprache(n) und didaktischen Herangehensweisen. Für die vorliegende Studie wurden in Einzelinterviews Lehrpersonen befragt, die entweder Biologie, Chemie oder ein Sprachfach unterrichten und sich im Rahmen eines fächerübergreifenden Projekts intensiv mit sprachsensiblem Unterricht auseinandersetzen. Die qualitative Auswertung der Daten zeigt die Vielschichtigkeit des Themas. Vorstellungen von Vereinfachen-Müssen und additivem Nebeneinanderdenken von Sprache und Fach sind erkennbar, jedoch auch Erkenntnisprozesse, in denen Sprache funktional und integrativ verstanden wird. Hieraus ergibt sich einerseits der Bedarf einer konzeptionellen Schärfung von ‚sprachsensiblem Fachunterricht‘ und andererseits einer verstärkten Kooperation aller, die sich an sprachlicher und fachlicher Bildung beteiligen.
description: Theoretically and empirically, the construct of language-sensitive subject teaching has only been vaguely defined. The reasons for this lie in different conceptions of the target group(s), language(s), and didactic approaches. For the present study, individual interviews were conducted with teachers who teach either biology, chemistry or a language subject and who are intensively involved in language-sensitive teaching within the sensiMINT project. The qualitative analysis of the data shows the complexity of the topic. Notions of having to simplify the language and additive side-by-side thinking of language and subject are discernible, but also cognitive processes in which language is understood in a functional and integrative way. On the one hand, this results in the need for a conceptual sharpening of ‘language-sensitive subject teaching’ and, on the other hand, for increased cooperation between all those involved in language and subject education.

description: Advection properties of passive particles in flows generated by point vortices are considered. Transport properties are anomalous with characteristic transport exponent $μ\sim 1.5$. This behavior is linked back to the presence of coherent fractal structures within the flow. A fractional kinetic analysis allows to link the characteristic transport exponent $μ$ to the trapping time exponent $γ=1+μ$. The quantitative agreement is found for different systems of vortices investigated and a clear signature is obtained of the fractional nature of transport in these flows.

description: Recent work has demonstrated a new route to discrete time crystal physics in quantum spin chains by periodically driving nearest-neighbor exchange interactions in gate-defined quantum dot arrays [arXiv:2006.10913]. Here, we present a detailed analysis of exchange-driven Floquet physics in small arrays of GaAs quantum dots, including phase diagrams and additional diagnostics. We also show that emergent time-crystalline behavior can benefit the protection and manipulation of multi-spin states. For typical levels of nuclear spin noise in GaAs, the combination of driving and interactions protects spin-singlet states beyond what is possible in the absence of exchange interactions. We further show how to construct a time-crystal-inspired CZ gate between singlet-triplet qubits with high fidelity. These results show that periodically driving exchange couplings can enhance the performance of quantum dot spin systems for quantum information applications.

Interoperability among rate-based congestion control algorithms for ABR service in ATM networks
Creators: name: Kayali, Mahmoud
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The ATM Forum has recently adopted rate-based schemes as the standard congestion control mechanisms for Available Bit Rate (ABR) service. Two types of rate-based schemes are supported by the ATM Forum specification, namely binary feedback and explicit rate. Explicit rate feedback schemes by themselves can be divided into exact and approximate. Since the implementation of one of these schemes in ATM switches is left to switch manufacturers, it is expected to have these types working on the same network. The compatibility of switches each running a different scheme was considered in the ATM Forum specification. However, since each type of switches has its own merits and demerits, the interoperability of these switch types and its impact on the performance of the network deserves extensive studies. This thesis investigates two types of interoperability in multi-vendor (heterogeneous) ATM networks: the interoperability between binary feedback and explicit rate schemes and the interoperability among different explicit rate schemes. For the first type of interoperability, we look at the steady-state performance of ABR service in networks consisting of both binary feedback and explicit rate switches. In order to find the best locations for each switch type, several cases of switch type locations are considered. Moreover, the impact of ABR sources parameter setting on the performance of heterogeneous networks is studied. For the second type of interoperability (i.e. the interoperability among explicit rate schemes), we investigate potential unfairness problems resulting from situations whereby different ABR sources receive network feedback from different subsets of switches along a given network path. Three types of unfairness problems that arise in such networks are identified. One type of unfairness appears while the sources are increasing their rates and the second type appears while they are decreasing their rates. The third type is a new cause of unfairness generated by the presence of highly bursty Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffic which can cause unfairness not only in the steady-state periods but also in the transient-state periods on a network link. In addition to identifying the causes of unfairness, our results provide quantitative evaluation of the level of unfairness as a function of various network and source parameters.

description: A homologous series of two-station [2]rotaxanes incorporating amino-acid units in the molecular thread has been developed. The degenerate [2]rotaxanes exhibit amino-acid specific shuttling rates between two fumaric stations related to the steric factor associated to the amino-acid side chain, as demonstrated by variable-temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy and exchange spectroscopy (EXSY). This allows tuning of the macrocycle shuttling rate over 4 orders of magnitude, which further has a relatively small solvent dependency.

When doors to museums were closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, several notable changes and developments occurred. In one of the first ICOM Community Resilience programs, we read: ‘Try to focus on what you are doing best and seek alternative ways of doing it; try new things and revisit traditional ways of doing things.’ One of the most demanding challenges indeed was going through a crisis in the absence of physical space and previous experiences coupled to those spaces.

description: miRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs, which are negative regulators of gene expression in plants and animals. miRNAs frequently exhibit differences from their “reference” mature sequences, generating multiple variations that are called “isomiRs”. In many cases both mature miRNA and corresponding isomiRs were present in next-generation sequencing (NGS) libraries. IsomiRs variability can be explained by an imprecise and alternative cleavage of Dicer and Drosha during pre-miRNA hairpin processing. We have developed a web-based tool called isomiRex for identification of miRNAs and their cognate isomiRs in 168 species (including plants, animals and viruses from miRbase 18) using NGS datasets. The software detects isomiRs of a miRNA with higher copy number relative to their mature reference sequences indexed in miRBase. An observed specific signature overabundance of isomiRs in the samples can imply a potential role in the aberrant regulation of protein-coding genes targeted by miRNAs. As additional information isomiRex generates differential expression information of the most dys-regulated miRNAs between samples.

description: We present a new optical (400-950nm) transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-31b (M=0.48 MJ; R= 1.54 RJ; P=3.41 days), obtained by combining four transits observations. These transits were observed with IMACS on the Magellan Baade Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory as part of the ACCESS project. We investigate the presence of clouds/hazes in the upper atmosphere of this planet as well as the contribution of stellar activity on the observed features. In addition, we search for absorption features of the alkali elements Na I and K I, with particular focus on K I, for which there have been two previously published disagreeing results. Observations with HST/STIS detected K I, whereas ground-based low- and high-resolution observations did not. We use equilibrium and non-equilibrium chemistry retrievals to explore the planetary and stellar parameter space of the system with our optical data combined with existing near-IR observations. Our best-fit model is that with a scattering slope consistent with a Rayleigh slope (alpha=5.3+2.9-3.1), high-altitude clouds at a log cloud top pressure of -3.6+2.7-2.1 bars, and possible muted H2O features. We find that our observations support other ground-based claims of no K I. Clouds are likely why signals like H2O are extremely muted and Na or K cannot be detected. We then juxtapose our Magellan/IMACS transmission spectrum with existing VLT/FORS2, HST/WFC3, HST/STIS, and Spitzer observations to further constrain the optical-to-infrared atmospheric features of the planet. We find that a steeper scattering slope (alpha = 8.3+/-1.5) is anchored by STIS wavelengths blueward of 400 nm and only the original STIS observations show significant potassium signal.

description: Religious groups are a valid, yet understudied, unit of analysis for investigating cultural differences. The present study investigated attitudes towards and intentions to seek help in four religious groups: Orthodox Jews, non-Orthodox Jews, Evangelical Christians, and non-Evangelical Christians. These groups were chosen because Orthodox Jews and Evangelical Christians both adhere to traditional religious beliefs but differ in group connectedness. The other groups were comparison groups. One hundred and nine students who self-identified as belonging to one of the four groups were surveyed. Findings included lower stigma tolerance in the Orthodox Jewish group relative to the other groups as well as greater intention to seek help from a teacher in the Orthodox Jewish group as compared to the non-Evangelical Christians. These findings underscore the under-studied role of religious group as an aspect of cultural diversity, as well as using culturally valued leaders as gatekeepers to mental health services.

description: Biomedical interaction networks have incredible potential to be useful in the prediction of biologically meaningful interactions, identification of network biomarkers of disease, and the discovery of putative drug targets. Recently, graph neural networks have been proposed to effectively learn representations for biomedical entities and achieved state-of-the-art results in biomedical interaction prediction. These methods only consider information from immediate neighbors but cannot learn a general mixing of features from neighbors at various distances. In this paper, we present a higher-order graph convolutional network (HOGCN) to aggregate information from the higher-order neighborhood for biomedical interaction prediction. Specifically, HOGCN collects feature representations of neighbors at various distances and learns their linear mixing to obtain informative representations of biomedical entities. Experiments on four interaction networks, including protein-protein, drug-drug, drug-target, and gene-disease interactions, show that HOGCN achieves more accurate and calibrated predictions. HOGCN performs well on noisy, sparse interaction networks when feature representations of neighbors at various distances are considered. Moreover, a set of novel interaction predictions are validated by literature-based case studies.

description: Involvement in gay men's community has both advantages and disadvantages. Gay men's communities have historically been sites of strong cohesiveness and political action. Conversely, these communities also have high rates of substance use and HIV. We have little empirical information regarding the associations of community involvement (CI) and a range of psychosocial and health behavior variables. The purposes of the current study are two-fold; the first, to examine whether community involvement is best conceptualized as a singular, versus multidimensional, construct. Two types of involvement are examined: frequenting bars/clubs and political/activist involvement. The second purpose is to explore the associations among community involvement, sexual risk behavior [i.e., unprotected anal intercourse, (UAI)], and six proposed psychosocial mediators (number of partners, engaging in sex while drunk/high, safe sex norms, internalized homophobia, sexual communication self-efficacy, and gay social support). The data for this study come from the Young Men's Survey, a multi-site evaluation designed to assess the effectiveness of a community-level HIV prevention intervention via self-report surveys administered to young gay and bisexual men aged 18-27 in three southeastern U.S. cities. A subsample of 957 men was used for the current study. Results suggest community involvement is better conceptualized as a multidimensional construct. The two types of involvement had significantly different associations with UAI, number of partners, sex while drunk/high, and internalized homophobia. When the proposed model was explored, a different pattern of results was revealed for each CI type. Frequenting bars/clubs was positively associated with UAI, number of partners, sex while drunk/high, and gay social support, but negatively associated with internalized homophobia. Political/activist involvement was positively associated with sexual communication self-efficacy and gay social support, but negatively associated with internalized homophobia. Of the proposed mediators, only two were significantly associated with UAI: number of partners (positively) and sexual communication self-efficacy (negatively). This study helps elucidate the mixed results in the extant literature regarding the association between CI and UAI. It is recommended that future researchers utilize a multidimensional CI construct to elucidate the associations among CI, psychosocial and health behavior variables, and UAI.

Infant temperament and maternal sensitivity: Predictors of behavior problems in two year olds

description: The ability of infant temperament and maternal sensitivity to predict 24 month behavior problems was examined in a normative sample of 88 mother-infant dyads from Baltimore, Maryland. Mothers completed the Infant Temperament Questionnaire when their children were 4 and 12 months of age; they completed the Child Behavior Checklist when their infants were 24 months of age. A 45-minute free-play interaction was used to evaluate maternal sensitivity when infants were 4 months of age. Externalizing behavior problems at 24 months of age was predicted by difficult infant temperament at 4 months of age and maternal sensitivity. Maternal sensitivity also predicted internalizing, and total behavior problems at 24 months of age. Low levels of maternal sensitivity moderated the relation between 4 month difficult temperament and 24 month total behavior problems. Results indicate that low maternal sensitivity at 4 months of age interacts with difficult infant temperament at 4 months of age to predict high incidences of total behavior problems when children are 24 months of age. This research demonstrates a need to evaluate maternal sensitivity early in a child's life, before the environment has had an opportunity to affect an infant's seemingly innate temperamental tendencies.

Implementation intentions

Reading motivation

description: Setting goals and planning for their attainment increases the likelihood that goals will be realized.  This is true whether the individual sets his or her own goals or the goals have been set by a teacher or parent.  This study explored the role of implementation intentions in setting and achieving voluntary reading goals.  Reading motivation, prior reading, and reading ability were examined as predictors of reading behavior.  Prior research has primarily used implementation intentions to impact health behavior.  The few studies that have addressed academics have demonstrated positive outcomes, although most have involved adult participants.           Fourth-grade students were randomly assigned by classroom to test condition:  a) Implementation Intentions and Choice of Reading Material  Implementation Intentions and No Choice  No Implementation Intentions and Choice   No Implementation Intentions and No Choice e ethnically diverse sample of students (N=175) attended five public schools from widely varying socioeconomic areas.  Reading motivation, self-reported voluntary reading, and print exposure were assessed.  Students were provided with a magazine and were asked to read it over a five-day period and provide feedback.           Students who formed implementation intentions specifying when and where they would read, obstacles they might face, and what plan they had for overcoming obstacles did not complete more reading than students who did not form implementation intentions, contrary to expectations.  The choice of which magazine to read did not result in more magazine reading overall, with exception of girls who formed implementation intentions.           Students with a history of reading nonfiction read more of the nonfiction magazine, as did students who read fiction text on their own time. Implementation intentions and prior reading interacted such that students with a history of reading nonfiction text read more of the fiction magazine when they formed implementation intentions than when they did not.  The quality of implementation intentions and the extent to which the plan matched actual behavior were also related to the amount of reading completed.  Prior reading was a stronger predictor of reading behavior than reading ability or reading motivation.  Results indicated that students can be prompted to read by forming implementation intentions, but the results depend upon the quality of the plan and students' history of prior reading.

description: Deficits in attention regulation are associated with a wide array of negative outcomes including decreased academic achievement, school dropout, and increased risk for disruptive disorders. Current studies have identified possible biological markers of attention regulation including variability in heart rate oscillations. Changes in heart rate oscillations during a continuous performance task for preschoolers from a Head Start population were examined. Results indicated that sustained attention produced expected changes in the low frequency band and respiratory sinus arrhythmia. Changes in respiratory sinus arrhythmia predicted children's behavioral functioning and attentional functioning. Neither heart rate oscillation distinguished between attentional and behavioral functioning.

description: The Pulsar Machine II (PuMa II) is the new flexible pulsar processing backend system at the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT), specifically designed to take advantage of the upgraded WSRT. The instrument is based on a computer cluster running the Linux operating system, with minimal custom hardware. A maximum of 160 MHz analogue bandwidth sampled as 8X20 MHz subbands with 8-bit resolution can be recorded on disks attached to separate computer nodes. Processing of the data is done in the additional 32-nodes allowing near real time coherent dedispersion for most pulsars observed at the WSRT. This has doubled the bandwidth for pulsar observations in general, and has enabled the use of coherent dedispersion over a bandwidth eight times larger than was previously possible at the WSRT. PuMa II is one of the widest bandwidth coherent dedispersion machines currently in use and has a maximum time resolution of 50ns. The system is now routinely used for high precision pulsar timing studies, polarization studies, single pulse work and a variety of other observational work.

description: Tactoids are pointed, spindle-like droplets of nematic liquid crystal in an isotropic fluid. They have long been observed in inorganic and organic nematics, in thermotropic phases as well as lyotropic colloidal aggregates. The variational problem of determining the optimal shape of a nematic droplet is formidable and has only been attacked in selected classes of shapes and director fields. Here, by considering a novel class of admissible solutions for a bipolar droplet, we study the prevalence in the population of all equilibrium shapes of each of the three that may be optimal (tactoids primarily among them). We show how the prevalence of a shape is affected by the drop's volume $V_0$ and the saddle-splay constant $K_{24}$ of the material. Tactoids, in particular, prevail for small $V_0$ and small $K_{24}$ (appropriately scaled). Our class of shapes (and director fields) is sufficiently different from those employed so far to unveil a rather different role of $K_{24}$.
Colliding stellar wind modelling of the X-ray emission from WR 140

description: We modelled the Chandra and RXTE X-ray spectra of the massive binary WR 140 in the framework of the standard colliding stellar wind (CSW) picture. Models with partial electron heating at the shock fronts are a better representation of the X-ray data than those with complete temperature equalization. Emission measure of the X-ray plasma in the CSW region exhibits a considerable decrease at orbital phases near periastron. This is equivalent to variable effective mass-loss rates over the binary orbit. At orbital phases near periastron, a considerable X-ray absorption in excess to that from the stellar winds in WR 140 is present. The standard CSW model provides line profiles that in general do not match well the observed line profiles of the strong line features in the X-ray spectrum of WR 140. The variable effective mass-loss rate could be understood qualitatively in CSW picture of clumpy stellar winds where clumps are efficiently dissolved in the CSW region near apastron but not at periastron. However, future development of CSW models with non-spherically-symmetric stellar winds might be needed to get a better correspondence between theory and observations.

knowledge of death

description: Children's knowledge of their illness and the possibility of dying from their disease were evaluated in 90 families of pediatric cancer patients 2 months after diagnosis. Maternal protective parenting, affective distress, coping style, and knowledge about the child's illness were evaluated as predictors of illness and prognosis information disclosure. Information disclosure was expected to predict child affective distress. As expected, children who knew they had cancer or simply knew that they were sick had fewer maternal-reported internalizing behaviors than children with minimal knowledge of their illness. No significant difference was found between children with knowledge of cancer and knowledge of being sick. Maternal depression and approach coping style predicted child knowledge of illness and possibility of death, respectively, in elementary-school aged children (6-10-years-old).  Mothers' confusion about their child's illness, prognosis,and treatment, predicted less child knowledge of illness, for elementary and middle/high school aged children (6-18-years-old) and knowledge of the possibility of death for elementary school aged children. Results suggest that providing children with meaningful information regarding their illness rather than withholding illness information may help lessen their affective distress. Specific information about the illness as cancer may not provide additional benefit for children with respect to affective distress beyond that provided by the knowledge that they are sick. Mothers may benefit from greater education about their child's illness and more support to manage their depression to facilitate open parent-child communication about the illness and its prognosis and help lessen child affective distress.
