description: We investigate the nature of the Mott-insulating phases of half-filled 2N-component fermionic cold atoms loaded into a one-dimensional optical lattice. By means of conformal field theory techniques and large-scale DMRG calculations, we show that the phase diagram strongly depends on the parity of $N$. First, we single out charged, spin-singlet, degrees of freedom, that carry a pseudo-spin ${\cal S}=N/2$ allowing to formulate a Haldane conjecture: for attractive interactions, we establish the emergence of Haldane insulating phases when $N$ is even, whereas a metallic behavior is found when $N$ is odd. We point out that the $N=1,2$ cases do \emph{not} have the generic properties of each family. The metallic phase for $N$ odd and larger than 1 has a quasi-long range singlet pairing ordering with an interesting edge-state structure. Moreover, the properties of the Haldane insulating phases with even $N$ further depend on the parity of N/2. In this respect, within the low-energy approach, we argue that the Haldane phases with N/2 even are not topologically protected but equivalent to a topologically trivial insulating phase and thus confirm the recent conjecture put forward by Pollmann {\it et al.} [Pollmann {\it et al.}, arXiv:0909.4059 (2009)].

Threshold Concepts and Conceptual Change Processes

Publisher: name: Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching
Year: 2016

description: This paper reviews the idea of threshold concepts in the context of conceptual change processes students experience at the cognitive and social dimensions of learning. Literature suggests the role of students’ ontological views in the development of their prior conceptions, which could be alternative to scientifically accepted ideas. It is proposed that students may be able to negotiate such troublesome concepts in a productive way as they engage in the meaning-making process with peers. Moreover, the social negotiation of knowledge can influence the conceptual change processes students experience in a discipline. This paper will serve as a theoretical benchmark towards designing a study that will focus on exploring how peer to peer collaboration supports the understanding of chemistry threshold concepts.

description: A theory of entangled photons emission from quantum dot in microcavity under continuous and pulsed incoherent pumping is presented. It is shown that the time-resolved two-photon correlations drastically depend on the pumping mechanism: the continuous pumping quenches the polarization entanglement and strongly suppresses photon correlation times.

description: In this paper, the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics and entropy is revisited in the context of cosmological models in Gauss-Bonnet gravity with the boundary of the universe is assumed to be enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon. The model is best fitted with the observational data for distance modulus. The best fitted geometric and thermodynamic parameters such as equation of state parameter, deceleration parameter and entropy are derived. To link between thermodynamic and geometric parameters, the "entropy rate of change multiplied by the temperature" as a model independent thermodynamic state parameter is also derived. The results show that the model is in good agreement with the observational analysis.

By using this method, we could also obtain the information regarding the mechanochemical coupling and energetics. We demonstrate that the position-dependent transition of the chemical states is the key feature for the highly efficient free-energy transduction by F$_1$-ATPase.

Using Active Learning Activities to Enhance Student Engagement in a Business English Program
Creators: name: Taylor, Laura
Publisher: name: Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching
Year: 2016

description: Active learning activities are becoming more prominent in the university setting, specifically in North America. However, in some departments, large class sizes make application and engagement with these types of activities particularly challenging. In response to this challenge, departments may look to supplemental programming for students, which can both aid in the comprehension of lecture material and offer tailored support focusing on subject-specific skill development. This paper reflects on an English language professional skills development workshop series that used active learning activities to engage students within the Department of Management at a Canadian university. It suggests that students not only enjoyed the active learning approach, but also felt that the workshops contributed to relevant language skill development.

description: We obtained late-time optical and near-IR imaging of SN 2008S with the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), near-IR data with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and mid-IR data with the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST). We find that (1) it is again invisible at optical (UBVR) wavelengths to magnitude limits of approximately 25 mag, (2) while detected in the near-IR (H) at approximately 24.8 mag, it is fading rapidly, and (3) it is still brighter than the progenitor at 3.6 and 4.5 microns in the mid-IR with a slow, steady decline. The IR detections in December 2010 are consistent with dust emission at a blackbody temperature of T ~ 640 K and a total luminosity of L ~ 200000 Lsun, much higher than the L ~ 40000 Lsun luminosity of the obscured progenitor star. The local environment also shows no evidence for massive (M >= 10 Msun) stars in the vicinity of the transient, consistent with the progenitor being a massive AGB star.

description: New and upgraded radio interferometers produce data at massive rates and will require significant improvements in analysis techniques to reach their promised levels of performance in a routine manner. Until these techniques are fully developed, productivity and accessibility in scientific programming environments will be key bottlenecks in the pipeline leading from data-taking to research results. We present an open-source software package, miriad-python, that allows access to the MIRIAD interferometric reduction system in the Python programming language. The modular design of MIRIAD and the high productivity and accessibility of Python provide an excellent foundation for rapid development of interferometric software. Several other projects with similar goals exist and we describe them and compare miriad-python to them in detail. Along with an overview of the package design, we present sample code and applications, including the detection of millisecond astrophysical transients, determination and application of nonstandard calibration parameters, interactive data visualization, and a reduction pipeline using a directed acyclic graph dependency model analogous to that of the traditional Unix tool "make". The key aspects of the miriad-python software project are documented. We find that miriad-python provides an extremely effective environment for prototyping new interferometric software, though certain existing packages provide far more infrastructure for some applications. While equivalent software written in compiled languages can be much faster than Python, there are many situations in which execution time is profitably exchanged for speed of development, code readability, accessibility to nonexpert programmers, quick interlinking with foreign software packages, and other virtues of the Python language.

In particular I discuss the implications for possible New Physics in b --> s transitions coming from the recent experimental results on the B_s mixing phase, the branching ratio of the rare decay B_s --> mu+mu-, and angular observables in the B --> K* mu+mu- decay. Also the recent evidence for direct CP violation in singly Cabibbo suppressed charm decays and its interpretation in the context of New Physics models is briefly discussed.

Kappa-deformed random-matrix theory based on Kaniadakis statistics

description: We present a possible extension of the random-matrix theory, which is widely used to describe spectral fluctuations of chaotic systems. By considering the Kaniadakis non-Gaussian statistics, characterized by the index κ (Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy is recovered in the limit κ\rightarrow0), we propose the non-Gaussian deformations (κ \neq 0) of the conventional orthogonal and unitary ensembles of random matrices. The joint eigenvalue distributions for the κ-deformed ensembles are derived by applying the principle maximum entropy to Kaniadakis entropy. The resulting distribution functions are base invarient as they depend on the matrix elements in a trace form. Using these expressions, we introduce a new generalized form of the Wigner surmise valid for nearly-chaotic mixed systems, where a basis-independent description is still expected to hold. We motivate the necessity of such generalization by the need to describe the transition of the spacing distribution from chaos to order, at least in the initial stage. We show several examples about the use of the generalized Wigner surmise to the analysis of the results of a number of previous experiments and numerical experiments. Our results suggest the entropic index κ as a measure for deviation from the state of chaos. We also introduce a κ-deformed Porter-Thomas distribution of transition intensities, which fits the experimental data for mixed systems better than the commonly-used gamma-distribution.

description: Optical observations of pulsars are crucial to study the neutron star properties, from the structure and composition of the interior, to the properties and geometry of the magnetosphere. Historically, X and gamma-ray observations have paved the way to the pulsar optical identifications. The launch of Fermi opened new perspectives in the optical-to-gamma-ray studies of neutron stars, with the detection of more than 80 pulsars. Here, we aim to search for optical emission from two Fermi pulsars which are interesting targets on the basis of their spin-down age, energetics, and distance: PSR J1357-6429and PSR J1048-5832. The two pulsars and their pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are also detected in X-rays by Chandra and XMM. No deep optical observations of these two pulsars have been reported so far. We used multi-band optical images (V,R,I) taken with the VLT and available in the European Southern Observatory (ESO) archive to search for, or put tight constraints to, their optical emission. We re-assessed the positions of the two pulsars from the analyses of all the available Chandra observations and the comparison with the published radio coordinates. For PSR J1357-6429, this yielded a tentative proper motion mu=0.17+/-0.055 "/yr (70+/-15 deg position angle). We did not detect candidate counterparts to PSR J1357-6429 and PSR J1048-5832 down to V~27 and ~27.6, respectively, although for the former we found a possible evidence for a faint, unresolved object at the Chandra position. Our limits imply an efficiency in converting spin-down power into optical luminosity <7x10^{-7} and <6x10^{-6}, respectively, possibly close to that of the Vela pulsar.

Baryogenesis and neutron-antineutron oscillation at TeV
Creators: name: Gu, Pei-Hong

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We propose a TeV extension of the standard model to generate the cosmological baryon asymmetry with an observable neutron-antineutron oscillation. The new fields include a singlet fermion, an isotriplet and two isosinglet diquark scalars. There will be no proton decay although the Majorana mass of the singlet fermion as well as the trilinear couplings between one isosinglet diquark and two isotriplet diquarks softly break the baryon number of two units. The isosinglet diquarks couple to two right-handed down-type quarks or to a right-handed up-type quark and a singlet fermion, whereas the isotriplet diquark couples to two left-handed quarks. The isosinglet diquarks mediate the three-body decays of the singlet fermion to realize a TeV baryogenesis without fine tuning the resonant effect. By the exchange of one singlet fermion and two isosinglet diquarks and of one isosinglet diquark and two isotriplet diquarks, a neutron-antineutron oscillation is allowed to verify in the future experiments.

description: Using a combination of first-principles simulations, based on the density functional theory and Boltzmann's semiclassical theory, we have calculated the transport and thermoelectric properties of the half-metallic two dimensional electron gas confined in single SrRuO$_3$ layers of SrTiO$_3$/SrRuO$_3$ periodic superlattices. Close to the Fermi energy we find that the semiconducting majority spin channel displays a very large in-plane component of the Seebeck tensor at room temperature, $S$ = 1500 $μ$V/K, and the minority spin channel shows good in-plane conductivity $σ$ = 2.5 (m$Ω$cm)$^{-1}$. However, contrary to the expectation of Hicks and Dresselhaus model about enhanced global thermoelectric properties due to the confinement of the metallic electrons, we find that the total power factor and thermoelectric figure of merit for reduced doping is too small for practical applications. The reason for this failure can be traced back on the electronic structure of the interfacial gas, which departs from the free electron behaviour on which the model was based. The evolution of the electronic structure, electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and power factor as a function of the chemical potential is explained by a simplified tight-binding model. We find that the electron gas in our system is composed by a pair of one dimensional electron gases orthogonal to each other. This reflects the fact the physical dimensionality of the electronic system can be even smaller than that of the spacial confinement of the carriers.

description: The monovalent cations sodium and potassium are crucial for the proper functioning of excitable cells, but, in addition, other monovalent alkali metal ions such as cesium and lithium can also affect neuronal physiology. For instance, there have been recent reports of adverse effects resulting from self-administered high concentrations of cesium in disease conditions, prompting the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to issue an alert concerning cesium chloride. As we recently found that the monovalent cation NH4+ activates glycine receptors (GlyRs), we investigated the effects of alkali metal ions on the function of the GlyR, which belongs to one of the most widely distributed neurotransmitter receptors in the peripheral and central nervous systems. Whole-cell voltage clamp electrophysiology was performed with HEK293T cells transiently expressing different splice and RNA-edited variants of GlyR α2 and α3 homopentameric channels. By examining the influence of various milli- and sub-millimolar concentrations of lithium, sodium, potassium, and cesium on these GlyRs in comparison to its natural ligand glycine (0.1 mM), we could show that cesium activates GlyRs in a concentration- and post-transcriptional-dependent way. Additionally, we conducted atomistic molecular dynamic simulations on GlyR α3 embedded in a membrane bilayer with potassium and cesium, respectively. The simulations revealed slightly different GlyR-ion binding profiles for potassium and cesium, identifying interactions near the glycine binding pocket (potassium and cesium) and close to the RNA-edited site (cesium) in the extracellular GlyR domain. Together, these findings show that cesium acts as an agonist of GlyRs.

description: This theoretical paper is driven by the question, “What does creativity look like in classroom settings?” It is motivated by my past experiences as a teacher: my stories and my students’ stories as we struggled together within a restricted classroom environment to create enough space for our creativity to emerge and flourish. I suggest seven metaphors that can be used to describe creativity as it may apply to classroom contexts: overcoming obstacles, or creative desperation, divergent thinking, or thinking outside the box, assembling things in new ways, route-finding, expanding possibilities, collaborative emergence, and birthing, or originating.

 Comments. Figures of female habitus and male terminalia in the original description by RȖBsAAMEN (1911 h) correspond to those of Planetella granifex. However, as we mentioned above (under P. granifex), the specimens identified as P. caricis in the Rübsaamen collection in Berlin appear to belong to a different species. The true identity of P. caricis is thus unclear to us, but could be potentially solved in the future, when male terminalia of the type specimens are cleared and studied in more detail, or if any other type specimen, better corresponding to the original figures, is found.

Zu viel versprochen? Die Bindung an den Vertrag als moralisches Versprechen
Creators: name: Luft, Constantin
Publisher: name: Studentische Zeitschrift für Rechtswissenschaft Heidelberg – Wissenschaft Online
Year: 2019

description: Pacta sunt servanda. Aber warum eigentlich? In seinem für die moderne anglo-amerikanische Privatrechtstheorie mittlerweile kanonischen Buch „Contract as Promise“ hat der Rechtsphilosoph Charles Fried 1981 eine aufsehenerregende These entwickelt: Verträge binden, weil sie sich unter dem moralischen Mikroskop als ein Unterfall von Versprechen entpuppen. Der Beitrag setzt sich kritisch mit dieser promissory theory vertraglicher Bindungswirkung auseinander. Auf der Basis dreier Adäquatheitsbedingungen für das Gelingen einer philosophisch plausiblen Begründung vertraglich generierter Verpflichtungen sollen die Schwächen und Grenzen von Frieds Ansatz aufgezeigt werden. Es stellt sich heraus, dass eine aussichtsreiche rechtsphilosophische Theorie von pacta sunt servanda keineswegs auf den moralischen Terminus des „Versprechens“ angewiesen ist, sondern auf zwei andere: „Konsens“ und „Kompetenz“ (legal power). Pacta sunt servanda. But why actually? In his book “Contract as Promise” the legal philosopher Charles Fried has developed a striking thesis: Contracts are binding because they prove to be a subset of promises. The article critically examines this promissory theory of contractual obligation. On the basis of three conditions of adequacy the puzzles and limits of Fried’s approach are to be revealed. It turns out that a plausible theory of pacta sunt servanda is by no means dependent on the moral term “promise”, but on two others: “consensus“ and “(legal) power“.

description: Gaia is a European Space Agency (ESA) astrometry space mission, and a successor to the ESA Hipparcos mission. Gaia's main goal is to collect high-precision astrometric data (i.e. positions, parallaxes, and proper motions) for the brightest 1 billion objects in the sky. These data, complemented with multi-band, multi-epoch photometric and spectroscopic data collected from the same observing platform, will allow astronomers to reconstruct the formation history, structure, and evolution of the Galaxy. Gaia will observe the whole sky for 5 years, providing a unique opportunity for the discovery of large numbers of transient and anomalous events, e.g. supernovae, novae and microlensing events, GRB afterglows, fallback supernovae, and other theoretical or unexpected phenomena. The Photometric Science Alerts team has been tasked with the early detection, classification and prompt release of anomalous sources in the Gaia data stream. In this paper, we discuss the challenges we face in preparing to use Gaia to search for transient phenomena at optical wavelengths.

description: We present the detection of Ly-alpha, [OIII] and H-alpha emission associated with an extremely strong DLA system (N(HI) = 10^22.10 cm^-2) at z=2.207 towards the quasar SDSS J113520-001053. This is the largest HI column density ever measured along a QSO line of sight, though typical of what is seen in GRB-DLAs. This absorption system also classifies as ultrastrong MgII system with W2796_r=3.6 A. The mean metallicity of the gas ([Zn/H]=-1.1) and dust depletion factors ([Zn/Fe]=0.72, [Zn/Cr]=0.49) are consistent with (and only marginally larger than) the mean values found in the general QSO-DLA population. The [OIII]-Ha emitting region has a very small impact parameter with respect to the QSO line of sight, b=0.1", and is unresolved. From the Ha line, we measure SFR=25 Msun/yr. The Ly-a line is double-peaked and is spatially extended. More strikingly, the blue and red Ly-a peaks arise from distinct regions extended over a few kpc on either side of the star-forming region. We propose that this is the consequence of Ly-a transfer in outflowing gas. The presence of starburst-driven outflows is also in agreement with the large SFR together with a small size and low mass of the galaxy (Mvir~10^10 Msun). From the stellar UV continuum luminosity of the galaxy, we estimate an age of at most a few 10^7 yr, again consistent with a recent starburst scenario. We interpret the data as the observation of a young, gas rich, compact starburst galaxy, from which material is expelled through collimated winds powered by the vigorous star formation activity. We substantiate this picture by modelling the radiative transfer of Ly-a photons in the galactic counterpart. Though our model (a spherical galaxy with bipolar outflowing jets) is a simplistic representation of the true gas distribution and velocity field, the agreement between the observed and simulated properties is particularly good.

description: We consider a 2D ballistic and quasi-ballistic structures with spin-orbit-related splitting of the electron spectrum. The ballistic region is attached to the leads with a voltage applied between them. We calculate the edge spin density which arises in the presence of a charge current through the structure. We solve the problem with the use of the method of scattering states and clarify the important role of the unitarity of scattering. In the case of a straight boundary it leads to exact cancellation of long-wavelength oscillations of the spin density. In general, however, the smooth spin oscillations with the spin precession length may arise, as it happens, e.g., for the wiggly boundary. Moreover, we show that the result crucially depends on the form of the spin-orbit Hamiltonian.

But what is it good for? – Experiences in Public Outreach of the Göbekli Tepe Project (DAI)

description: With continuing strong popularity of archaeology in public perception, active science communication is more and more recognized as essential tool to not only inform about current research, but to also counter misinterpretation and misuse of archaeological data. Traditional outreach approaches like museums and popular books or articles have been complemented by new digital tools. In a time, in which facts seem to have become negotiable and ‘alternative facts’ can be proposed, pseudoscientific narratives are playing an increasing role in the public discourse on archaeological research – in particular, due to their accessibility in online media. Confronted with a growing public interest and proportionally increasing pseudoarchaeological narratives, we decided to address both in more open formats of science communication for the Göbekli Tepe Project with the creation of a project weblog whose aim it was to engage communication and provide information where the discussion actually was taking place: Online. This paper provides an insight into experiences and impact of nearly three years of science blogging.

description: Every November, the University of Calgary iGEM (international Genetically Engineered Machines) team presents their synthetic biology project to the world. Weekly team meetings are a microcosm of the iGEM experience of bringing ideas to fruition. The peer teaching, mentoring, and consultations that occur at these meetings are triggers for deeper conversations on teaching and learning. In the workshop described here, participants were invited to experience a simulated iGEM team meeting environment, where instead of synthetic biology, issues of teaching and learning were the subject of their conversations.

description: Superfluid properties of Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in toroidal quasi-one-dimensional traps are investigated in the presence of periodic scattering length modulations along the ring. The existence of several types of stable periodic waves, ranging from almost uniform to very fragmented chains of weakly interacting and equally spaced solitons, is demonstrated. We show that these waves may support persistent atomic currents and sound waves with spectra of Bogoliubov type. Fragmented condensates can be viewed as arrays of Josephson junctions and the current as a BEC manifestation of the dc-Josephson effect. The influence of linear defects on BEC superfluidity has been also investigated. We found that for subcritical velocities, linear defects that are static with respect to the lattice (while the condensate moves in respect to both the optical lattice and the defect) preserve the BEC superfluidity.

description: Engineering products and solutions have revolutionized daily living, resulting in longer and more productive activities. However, the continued development of electronic components will be hindered as their sizes are reaching quantum levels. Creative engineers are needed to find solutions to this problem so that innovation in technology can be sustained. In this paper, we suggest that technical engineering courses can support developing creative culture by using game-based learning. Specifically, engineering students can design their own games as a pedagogical approach to develop creativity, learn innovation, and increase their technical learning outcomes. We illustrate this suggestion using examples from senior electrical engineering technical content.

description: We perform a global analysis of the constraints on a possible Higgs-like particle with mass ~ 125 GeV that are provided by the ATLAS, CDF, CMS and D0 experiments. We combine the available constraints on possible deviations from the Standard Model Higgs couplings to massive vector bosons and to fermions, considering also the possibilities of non-standard loop-induced couplings to photon and gluon pairs. We analyze the combined constraints on pseudo-dilaton scenarios and on some other scenarios in which the possible new particle is identified as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson in a composite electroweak symmetry-breaking sector.

The Kinesiology Curriculum: Using Student Responses to Evaluate Course Content
Creators: name: Grewal, Eshleen Kaur
name: Doyle-Baker, Patricia K
Publisher: name: Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching
Year: 2017

description: The academic discipline of kinesiology is relatively new (1960s) and is devoted to the study of human movement. The knowledge base and subject of study continues to develop and now includes inquiry regarding the impact of physical activity on health, society, and quality of life. The purpose of this course content evaluation was to identify kinesiology students’ views on the addition of public health content in the curriculum. A lecture addressing the background history of public health, with supported reading, was given to forty students enrolled in an upper level Bachelor of Kinesiology-health course. Students were advised of the inclusion of this topic on the final exam and that their responses would be used to inform future direction of the course material. Students were asked to provide their opinion, through a written response to the question: Does public health belong in the Faculty of Kinesiology? A content analysis was employed and seven themes were identified from students’ responses. The themes highlighted professional experience, enhanced leadership, and health promotion and physical activity’s contribution to health. In summary, students positively evaluated the inclusion of public health within the kinesiology curriculum and perhaps this is not surprising given the scoring associated with the question. Despite this limitation, students provided insightful responses worthy of reflection that should be considered in a dialogue about the inclusion of public health content in the kinesiology curriculum.
