description: The closure of a braid in a closed orientable surface $Σ$ is a link in $Σ\times S^1$. We classify such closed surface braids up to isotopy and homeomorphism (with a small indeterminacy for isotopy of closed sphere braids), algebraically in terms of the surface braid group. We find that in positive genus, braids close to isotopic links if and only if they are conjugate, and close to homeomorphic links if and only if they are in the same orbit of the outer action of the mapping class group on the surface braid group modulo its center.

Teachers in a Twitter: Educator Participation in Twitter Edchats

description: The purpose of this research was to investigate educator participation in edchats. The research questions addressed were the following: 1. What does an edchat network look like in terms of followership and edchat interactions? 2. What are the different modes of participation in an edchat? 3. What is the ethos of an edchat? 4. How are edchats organized by educators and edchats organized by companies similar to and different from each other? To address these questions, tweet data from 10 edchats was collected and analyzed using a mixed methods approach. Across edchats, social network structures were consistent with the Tight Crowd network structure often found in Twitter learning communities, and members frequently interacted with each other, with several having ties extending beyond a single edchat. Twitter users participated in edchats as moderators and participants through several different modes by tweeting, retweeting, and sharing links and media. Although most participants only tweeted once, a smaller group of participants was especially active. Edchat questions received multiple responses, providing the community with diverse answers to review and if desired, discuss further. Across edchats, communities displayed an ethos of professionality, support, and fun without signs of the hostility known to plague Twitter. Although edchats shared a similar discussion structure and spirit of support and positivity, edchats organized by teachers tended to focus on classroom practice in greater detail than company-organized edchats. Distinguishing a teacher-organized edchat from a company-organized edchat was often complicated due to the presence of companies in teacher-organized spaces as well as an individual’s ability to profit from their social media influence through self-promotion or as a product ambassador. Edchats could provide an additional means of supporting educators by facilitating connection with a community of peers who can provide just-in-time support; however, their quality varies and much depends on the participant, highlighting the need for additional research to develop best practices for structuring and participating in edchats, especially to combat the risk of stealth advertising in these spaces.

description: This study examines teachers’ beliefs in the nature and malleability of intelligence, how these beliefs may vary in different academic domains, and whether those beliefs have any significant relationships with teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs, epistemological beliefs, and proposed interventions for struggling students. Findings showed that teachers exhibited a more fixed view of the nature of intelligence when survey items were framed in terms of math, not language arts or domain-general items. There was also evidence suggesting that teachers’ beliefs in the fixed entity nature of intelligence are significantly correlated with holding a traditional unidimensional conception of intelligence. However, little evidence was found indicating a relationship between teachers’ various beliefs and their proposed strategies for struggling students. The results have implications for research on lay conceptions of intelligence, and for teacher education curricula.

description: Performing an nonperturbative path integral for the geometric part of a large class of 2d theories without kinetic term for the dilaton field, the quantum effects from scalar matter fields are treated as a perturbation. When integrated out to two-loops they yield a correction to the Polyakov term which is still exact in the geometric part. Interestingly enough the effective action only experiences a renormalization of the dilaton potential.

The last problem involves a conjecture on the structure of proper groupoids. Attempting to prove this by the method of averaging leads to problems concerning almost actions of compact groups and almost invariant submanifolds for compact group actions. The paper ends with a discussion of possible extensions of the convexity theorems for momentum maps of hamiltonian actions of compact groups.

description: The release of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in 2010 resulted in a new focus on mathematical modeling in United States curricula. Mathematical modeling represents a way of doing and understanding mathematics new to most teachers. The purpose of this study was to determine the conceptions and misconceptions held by teachers about mathematical models and modeling in order to aid in the development of teacher education and professional development programs. The study used a mixed methods approach. Quantitative data were collected through an online survey of a large sample of practicing and prospective secondary teachers of mathematics in the United States. The purpose of this was to gain an understanding of the conceptions held by the general population of United States secondary mathematics teachers. In particular, basic concepts of mathematical models, mathematical modeling, and mathematical modeling in education were analyzed. Qualitative data were obtained from case studies of a small group of mathematics teachers who had enrolled in professional development which had mathematical models or modeling as a focus. The purpose of these case studies was to give an illustrative view of teachers regarding modeling, as well as to gain some understanding of how participating in professional development affects teachers' conceptions. The data showed that US secondary mathematics teachers hold several misconceptions about models and modeling, particularly regarding aspects of the mathematical modeling process. Specifically, the majority of teachers do not understand that the mathematical modeling process always requires making choices and assumptions, and that mathematical modeling situations must come from real-world scenarios. A large minority of teachers have misconceptions about various other characteristics of mathematical models and the mathematical modeling process.

description: In AP Biology, the course goal, with respect to scientific acts and reasoning, has recently shifted toward a reform goal of science practice, where the goal is for students to have a scientific perspective that views science as a practice of a community rather than a body of knowledge. Given this recent shift, this study is interested in the gaps that may exist between an individual teacher’s instructional goal and the goals of the AP Biology course. A Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) methodology and perspective is used to analyze four teachers’ knowledge, practice, and learning. Teachers have content knowledge for teaching, a form of knowledge that is unique for teaching called specialized content knowledge. This specialized content knowledge (SCK) defines their instructional goals, the student outcomes they ultimately aim to achieve with their students. The study employs a cultural-historical continuum of scientific acts and reasoning, which represents the development of the AP Biology goal over time, to study gaps in their instructional goal. The study also analyzes the contradictions within their teaching practice and how teachers address those contradictions to shift their instructional practice and learn. The findings suggest that teachers have different interpretations of the AP Biology goals of science practice, placing their instructional goal at different points along the continuum. Based on the location of their instructional goal, different micro-communities of teachers exist along the continuum, comprised of teachers with a shared goal, language, and culture of their AP Biology teaching. The in-depth study of one teacher’s AP Biology teaching, using a CHAT perspective, provides a means for studying the mechanisms that connect SCK to classroom actions and ultimately to instructional practice. CHAT also reveals the nature and importance of contradictions or cognitive dissonance in teacher learning and the types of support teachers need to recognize contradictions and to internalize and set their instructional goal, facilitating their learning. Without recognition of contradictions, some of these micro-communities are not aware that their instruction is not in line with the AP Biology goal of science practice. An in-depth look at teacher learning revealed the criticality of reflective practice and the need for an “expert” within a teacher’s community to facilitate = learning and develop SCK to incorporate science practice in classroom instruction.

description: We unify $\textit{kernel density estimation}$ and $\textit{empirical Bayes}$ and address a set of problems in unsupervised learning with a geometric interpretation of those methods, rooted in the $\textit{concentration of measure}$ phenomenon. Kernel density is viewed symbolically as $X\rightharpoonup Y$ where the random variable $X$ is smoothed to $Y= X+N(0,σ^2 I_d)$, and empirical Bayes is the machinery to denoise in a least-squares sense, which we express as $X \leftharpoondown Y$. A learning objective is derived by combining these two, symbolically captured by $X \rightleftharpoons Y$. Crucially, instead of using the original nonparametric estimators, we parametrize $\textit{the energy function}$ with a neural network denoted by $ϕ$; at optimality, $\nabla ϕ\approx -\nabla \log f$ where $f$ is the density of $Y$. The optimization problem is abstracted as interactions of high-dimensional spheres which emerge due to the concentration of isotropic gaussians. We introduce two algorithmic frameworks based on this machinery: (i) a "walk-jump" sampling scheme that combines Langevin MCMC (walks) and empirical Bayes (jumps), and (ii) a probabilistic framework for $\textit{associative memory}$, called NEBULA, defined à la Hopfield by the $\textit{gradient flow}$ of the learned energy to a set of attractors. We finish the paper by reporting the emergence of very rich "creative memories" as attractors of NEBULA for highly-overlapping spheres.

Intermittency in coupled maps

description: Using a renormalization method, we study the critical behavior for intermittency in two coupled one-dimensional (1D) maps. We find two fixed maps of the renormalization transformation. They all have common relevant eigenvalues associated with scaling of the control parameter of the uncoupled 1D map. However, the relevant ``coupling eigenvalues'' associated with coupling perturbations vary depending on the fixed maps. It is also found that the two fixed maps are associated with the critical behavior in the vicinity of a critical line segment. One fixed map with no relevant coupling eigenvalues governs the critical behavior at interior points of the critical line segment, while the other one with relevant coupling eigenvalues governs the critical behavior at both ends. The results of the two coupled 1D maps are also extended to many globally-coupled 1D maps, in which each 1D map is coupled to all the other ones with equal strength.

description: The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) provides a framework for the safe and responsible management of tailings, aiming to prevent catastrophic failures and mitigate environmental and social impacts. The GISTM sets out criteria for “meet,” “partially meet,” and “does not meet” conformance with the Standard, but does not provide or define the term “substantial conformance.” This paper presents Gold Fields’ interpretation of the concept of substantial conformance and describes its journey towards achieving it at their Cerro Corona Mine in Peru and Tarkwa Mine in Ghana. This paper explains why Gold Fields rated many of their assets as “partially conformant” against several GISTM requirements in their Annual Tailings Disclosure Report. It also outlines the measures taken by the company to achieve substantial conformance. The benefits of achieving substantial conformance are highlighted, such as enhanced environmental and social performance and greater stakeholder trust. Finally, the paper concludes by highlighting the importance of transparent, ongoing collaboration and knowledge sharing between industry, academia, and regulators to improve tailings management practices globally.

Our results indicate that fluctuations of fields different from the main field decelerate significantly its motion at high energies. The formalism described here is applicable to the majority of inflationary models. We show also that the quantum fluctuations suppress false vacuum decay in first-order phase transitions at high energies.

Information visualization

description: Scientific data visualizations are the products, and increasingly a core practice, of modern computational science across all domains. With recent science education standards emphasizing student engagement in practices, these scientific visualizations will only increase in their availability and use for K-12 science instruction. But teacher practice is key to the successful learning outcomes for these, and any, educational technology. This study follows eleven science teachers from initial exposure in a PD program through classroom use of scientific data visualizations that address topics in Earth and Space science. The framework of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) is used to examine key dimensions of teacher knowledge that are activated as they seek to understand the data visualizations and the conceptual models that they represent, select and integrate them into their curriculum, and ultimately use them for instruction. Baseline measures of select dimensions of TPCK are measured for all teachers. Two representative case studies allow for a deep analysis of TPCK in action throughout their professional and instructional experience, and finally the impact on teachers’ knowledge from the experience is examined, with implications for educative curricular material and PD program design.

description: A method for the identification of small inhomogeneities from a surface data is presented in the framework of an inverse scattering problem for the Helmholtz equation. Using the assumptions of smallness of the scatterers one reduces this inverse problem to an identification of the positions of the small scatterers. These positions are found by a global minimization search. Such a search is implemented by a novel Hybrid Stochastic-Deterministic Minimization method. The method combines random tries and a deterministic minimization. The effectiveness of this approach is illustrated by numerical experiments. In the modeling part our method is valid when the Born approximation fails. In the numerical part, an algorithm for the estimate of the number of the small scatterers is proposed.

description: The gravitational-wave signal from the merger of two neutron stars cannot be easily differentiated from the signal produced by a comparable-mass mixed binary of a neutron star and a black hole. Indeed, both binary types can account for the gravitational-wave signal GW170817 even if its electromagnetic counterpart emission is taken into account. We propose a method that {requires neither information from the post-inspiral phase of the binary nor an electromagnetic counterpart} to identify mixed binaries of neutron stars merging with low-mass black holes using gravitational-waves alone. This method is based on the fact that certain neutron star properties that can be measured with gravitational-waves are common or similar for all neutron stars. For example all neutron stars share the same equation of state and if the latter is hadronic, neutron stars have similar radii. If a mixed binary is misidentified as a neutron star binary, the inferred neutron star properties will be misestimated and appear as outliers in a population of low-mass binaries. We show that as few as $\sim 5$ low-mass events will allow for the identification of the type of one event at the $80\%$ confidence level. We model the population of low-mass binaries with a hierarchical mixture model and show that we can constrain the existence of mixed binaries or measure their abundance relative to neutron star binaries to $\sim 0.1$ at the $68\%$ credible level with 100 events.

description: This paper analyses the relationship between firms’ multi-factor productivity and the effective employment density of the areas where they operate. Quantifying these agglomeration elasticities is of central importance in the evaluation of the wider economic benefits of transport investments. We estimate agglomeration elasticities using the Statistics New Zealand prototype Longitudinal Business Database: a firm-level panel covering the period 1999 to 2006. We estimate that an area with 10 percent higher effective density has firms with productivity that is 0.69 percent higher, once we control for the industry specific production functions and sorting of more productive firms across industries and locations. We present separate estimates of agglomeration elasticities for specific industries and regions, and examine the interaction of agglomeration with capital, labour, and other inputs.

description: Over the last decade it has been shown that magnetic non-collinearity at a s-wave superconductor/ferromagnet interface is a key ingredient for spin-singlet to spin-triplet pair conversion. This has been verified in several synthetic non-collinear magnetic structures. A magnetically soft and hard ferromagnetic layer combination in a bi-layer structure can function as a field tunable non-collinear magnetic structure which may offer magnetic-field tuneability of singlet-to-triplet pair conversion. From magnetization measurements of Nb/Co/Py/Nb multilayers we demonstrate a reversible enhancement of the superconducting critical temperature of 400 mK by measuring Tc with and without a non-collinear magnetic structure between Co and Py. The sensitivity of Tc in these structures offers the potential for realizing magnetic field tunable Josephson junctions in which pair conversion and Josephson critical currents are controllable using modest magnetic fields.

Bimaximal Neutrino Mixixing from a Local SU(2) Horizontal Symmetry

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

description: Freedom from global anomalies in the presence of a local SU(2)_H horizontal symmetry under which right handed charged leptons transform nontrivially requires that there be at least two right handed neutrinos with masses of order of the horizontal symmetry breaking scale. If a third right handed neutrino is introduced to satisfy quark lepton symmetry, it is unprotected by the horizontal symmetry, becomes superheavy with a Planck scale mass and decouples from lower energy physics. The resulting seesaw mechanism with two right handed neutrinos in combination with the horizontal symmetry leads naturally to a near bimaximal pattern for the neutrino mixing with an inverted mass hierarchy and is compatible with all data. It predicts a correlation between the solar mixing angle and U_{e3}, that is testable in the proposed long baseline experiments.

Chiral symmetry in non-Hermitian systems: product rule and Clifford algebra

description: Chiral symmetry provides the symmetry protection for a large class of topological edge states. It exists in non-Hermitian systems as well, and the same anti-commutation relation between the Hamiltonian and a linear chiral operator, i.e., $\{H,Π\}=0$, now warrants a symmetric spectrum about the origin of the complex energy plane. Here we show two general approaches to identify and generate chiral symmetry in non-Hermitian systems, with an emphasis on lattices with detuned on-site potentials that can vary in both their real and imaginary parts. One approach utilizes the Clifford algebra satisfied by the Dirac matrices, while the other relies on the simultaneous satisfaction of non-Hermitian particle-hole symmetry and bosonic anti-linear symmetry, extended beyond simple spatial transformations to include, for example, an imaginary gauge transformation.

Teaching Mathematics For Social Justice: How Students In An All-Girls School Use Mathematics to Read and Write

description: Teaching mathematics for social justice or critical mathematical literacy is said to have the potential of providing all students with equal access to mathematics education. The researcher used a case study approach to investigate the factors that affect female students’ development of sociopolitical consciousness and social agency through reading and writing the world with mathematics (RWWM). In conducting a 3-week study in an all-girls high school in New York, NY, students (N = 5) completed three mathematics lessons that addressed issues relating to racial profiling, education versus income earnings, and HIV/AIDS in Canada. This study contributes new insight into female students’ learning outcomes and dispositions. In doing so, this study contributes to the research relating to students’ development of sociopolitical consciousness and sense of agency as students “read and write the world” with mathematics. The results indicated that although some students had some previous knowledge of social justice issues, the incorporation of social justice educated them about the most pressing issues of today, thereby creating an increased awareness. Although the majority of the participants revealed that they developed a motivation to learn mathematics through a sociopolitical lens, some participants expressed negative feelings as a result of a social justice awareness. When investigating how students develop sociopolitical consciousness through reading the world with mathematics, participants reported using data as evidence of the severity of current social justice issues, relating mathematics to the issues in the real world, and an overall effect of developing a strong connection with the social justice issues. In participating in this study, participants noted the following positive aspects that encouraged them to use mathematics to write the world: having hard proof or evidence on the existence of social injustice, making mathematics more understandable and interesting, and developing an understanding of the real purpose of statistics. As for what prevents participants from developing social agency, students indicated that the lack of teacher guidance on how to take actions added to their not being clear about how to “write the world” with mathematics.

description: As of 2019, the study of religions still remains a relatively unexplored branch of secondary social studies education, particularly in terms of actual classroom praxis. Like the study of race, ethnicity, or gender, religion is often considered a ‘controversial issue’ (Hess & McAvoy, 2015), and looking at religion presents a number of particular challenges for practicing teachers — even for those more advanced in their careers. In this study, I explore two questions related to the teaching of religions as a part of the secondary social studies classroom: 1) What broader forces, both in society at large and in the school setting in particular, influence teachers’ pedagogical and curricular choices around this topic? 2) How do the subjectivities and lived experiences of a teacher contribute to the way he or she teaches about religion as a part of the social studies? These two questions are interrelated. In essence, they can be summed up as follows—which curricular choices around the teaching of religion are a consequence of social forces and what curricular choices are a product of individual subjectivities? How do teachers think about the ways that their school settings and the broader cultural zeitgeist of contemporary America influence the content and methods used to teach about religions? How do they think about their own identities in relation to teaching about religion in the classroom? This qualitative study, using both interviews and classroom observations, examines secondary social studies teachers at three sites in the suburbs of a major metropolitan area in the United States.

description: Der Begriff der Gerechtigkeit ist seit 2000 Jahren Gegenstand der Diskussion in Philosophie, Theologie und Rechtswissenschaft. Es mag verwundern, wenn sich hier die Mathematik zu Wort meldet. Zwar hat sie den genannten Wissenschaften voraus, daß ihre Begriffe scharf umrissen und ihre Ergebnisse unstrittig sind, aber der Verdacht liegt nahe, daß ihre Werkzeuge viel zu grob sind, um eine angemessene Behandlung des vielschichtigen und subtilen Begriffes der Gerechtigkeit zu erlauben. Demgegenüber soll hier gezeigt werden, daß Mathematik - das heißt strikte Formalisierung - sehr wohl zur Diskussion beitragen kann, auch, indem sie hilft, den Stoff zu strukturieren, die Begriffe zu präzisieren, Meinungen von Argumenten und Denkgewohnheiten von Sachzwängen zu unterscheiden.
Über die gerechte Verteilung eines Gutes läßt sich häufig keine Einigkeit erzielen, jedoch findet man leichter einen Konsens darüber, daß manche Verteilungen sicher ungerecht sind. Die Ungerechtigkeit wird darin gesehen, daß gewisse sehr allgemeine (d. h. schwache) Prinzipien verletzt sind. Hiernach kann ein Verteilungsmechanismus von der Gesellschaft nur akzeptiert werden, wenn er in keinem Anwendungsfall die Prinzipien verletzt. Die Formulierung der Prinzipien ist nicht Sache der Mathematik, die Mathematik hat ihre Erfüllbarkeit und ihre Kombinierbarkeit zu untersuchen.
Hier sollen die Anfänge der Ausführung eines solchen Programms an hand eines konkreten Problems beschrieben werden. Es wird dabei weniger um den Beweis einschlägiger mathematischer Lehrsätze (die es durchaus gibt!) und mehr um Grundsätzliches zur Formalisierung gehen.
