description: The lead chalcogenides represent an important family of functional materials, in particular due to the benchmark high-temperature thermoelectric performance of PbTe. A number of recent investigations, experimental and theoretical, have aimed to gather insight into their unique lattice dynamics and electronic structure. However, the majority of first-principles modelling has been performed at fixed temperatures, and there has been no comprehensive and systematic computational study of the effect of temperature on the material properties. We report a comparative lattice-dynamics study of the temperature dependence of the properties of PbS, PbSe and PbTe, focussing particularly on those relevant to thermoelectric performance, viz. phonon frequencies, lattice thermal conductivity, and electronic band structure. Calculations are performed within the quasi-harmonic approximation, with the inclusion of phonon-phonon interactions from many-body perturbation theory, which are used to compute phonon lifetimes and predict the lattice thermal conductivity. The results are critically compared against experimental data and other calculations, and add new insight to on-going research on the PbX compounds in relation to the off-centring of Pb at high temperatures, which is shown to be related to phonon softening. The agreement with experiment suggests that this method could serve as a straightforward, powerful and generally-applicable means of investigating the temperature dependence of material properties from first principles.

Creators: name: Hiwot Dereje
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Today, a wide range of edible oils are available in the market, but no single edible oil is able to meet recommendations given for healthy oil. So, blending of different edible oils is an emerging mechanism to develop a healthier and stable edible oil so as to satisfy consumer needs. Blending is an economical way of modifying the physicochemical characteristics besides enhancement of oxidative stability. Thus, in this study blends of sesame, Niger and flax seed oil in different proportions were evaluated for various physicochemical parameters: density, viscosity, refractive index, accelerated oxidative stability, saponification value and peroxide value were determined using standard method using digital analytical balance, Brookfield RHEO meter DV3T instrument, Krusi Optronic, 892 professional Rancimate apparatus, AOAC official Method no. 920.160 and titration with Na2S2O3 solution, respectively. The density, viscosity, refractive index, saponification value and accelerated oxidative stability value ranged: 0.921(N12F81S7)- 0.957(N8F20S72) g/mL; 46.2(S100)-63.6(F100) centipoise; 1.473(F100)-1.482(S100); 171(N34S66)-177(N47F53) mg of KOH/g of oil; 0.874(F100)-4.697(S100) hours, respectively. Similarly, the peroxide value after 15, 45 and 75days of storage time were found in the range: 1.493(N34S66)-3.186 (F100), 2.469 (S100)-5.01(N12F81S7) and 3.493(S100)-7.778(F100) meq O2/kg, respectively.

description: CO2 laser-driven electron acceleration is demonstrated with particle-in-cell simulation in low-density plasma. An intense CO2 laser pulse with long wavelength excites wakefield. The bubble behind it has a broad space to sustain a large amount of electrons before reaching its charge saturation limit. A transversely propagating inject pulse is used to induce and control the ambient electron injection. The accelerated electron bunch with total charge up to 10 nC and the average charge per energy interval of more than 0.6 nC/MeV are obtained. Plasma-based electron acceleration driven by intense CO2 laser provides a new potential way to generate high-charge electron bunch with low energy spread, which has broad applications, especially for X-ray generation by table-top FEL and bremsstrahlung.

description: Langevin type equations are an important and fairly large class of systems close to Hamiltonian ones. The constructed mean-square and weak quasi-symplectic methods for such systems degenerate to symplectic methods when a system degenerates to a stochastic Hamiltonian one. In addition, quasi-symplectic methods' law of phase volume contractivity is close to the exact law. The methods derived are based on symplectic schemes for stochastic Hamiltonian systems. Mean-square symplectic methods were obtained in citehadd,hmul while symplectic methods in the weak sense are constructed in this paper. Special attention is paid to Hamiltonian systems with separable Hamiltonians, with additive noise, and with colored noise. Some numerical tests of both symplectic and quasi-symplectic methods are presented. They demonstrate superiority of the proposed methods in comparison with standard ones.

title: EXPLORING THE EARLY ESTABLISHMENT OF EMPLOYMENT PREPARATION PROGRAMMES BY HARNESSING THE POTENTIAL OF SPECIAL NEEDS LEARNERS VIA THE SPECIAL EDUCATION INTEGRATED PROGRAMME IN MALAYSIA
Creators: name: Muniandy, K
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2020

description: Employment Preparation Programmes (EPPs) are not part of the Special Education Integrated Programme (SEIP) curriculum in Malaysia, and no specific operational guidance is provided to schools regarding them. EPPs are, however, currently performed in a non-uniform way in some schools. This study concerns the early establishment of EPPs in the SEIP in Malaysia. Within the context of the study it is important to note that the partnership programme between schools and outside collaborators is not yet fully established in all secondary schools in Malaysia as stipulated in the Malaysian Education Blueprint (2013-2025). This study aims to explore the implementation of EPPs; delineate the hindrances for special educators, teachers and heads of departments; and, identify the areas of improvement needed to establish vocational educational programmes as early as possible to assist special needs learners towards an independent life through employability. In order to achieve these aims a qualitative study using case study design has been carried out. Semi-structured interviews of Special Education Teachers and Department Heads were undertaken as the main method to elicit data from a purposive sample of fifteen EPP participants. Data was also collected about special needs learners’ activities and other relevant emerging themes using an observational method in a real-life setting that included two observations in each EPP at each of the five schools, making 20 observation sessions in total. Relevant documents including official documents from Ministry of Education, modules outlines were also collected from the respective schools and subsequently subject to documentary analysis. To enhance the trustworthiness of the findings, data was triangulated and analysed in light of the Malaysian Education Blueprint along with other previous literature. Findings indicated that leadership and management; academic background knowledge and mastering vocational skills; the social and physical environment; and, collaboration and coordination play an important role in harnessing the potential of special needs learners. The contribution to knowledge of this study is the formation of a framework to clarify the issues impeding effective the implementation of Employment Preparation Programme, and the establishment of key priorities within that implementation effort. Overall, it is argued that this study exemplifies how important it is that the implementation of EPP needs to become an integral part of schools as organisations. Key words: Employment Preparation Programmes, Special Education Integrated Programme, Special educators, Special needs learners.

description: By analyzing the first-order interference of two independent thermal light beams with both classical and quantum theories, we conclude that it is impossible to observe the transient first-order interference pattern by superposing two independent thermal light beams even if the degeneracy parameter of thermal light is much greater than one. The result suggests that the classical model of thermal light field within the coherence time may not be the same as the one of laser light field within the coherence time.

Influence Function Analysis of the Restricted Minimum Divergence Estimators : A General Form
Creators: name: Ghosh, Abhik
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The minimum divergence estimators have proved to be useful tools in the area of robust inference. The robustness of such estimators are measured using the classical Influence functions. However, in many complex situations like testing a composite hypothesis using divergence require the estimators to be restricted into some subspace of the parameter space. The robustness of these restricted minimum divergence estimators are very important in order to have overall robust inference. In this paper we provide a comprehensive description of the robustness of such restricted estimators in terms of their Influence Function for a general class of density based divergences along with their unrestricted versions. In particular, the robustness of some popular minimum divergence estimators are also demonstrated under certain usual restrictions. Thus this paper provides a general framework for the influence function analysis of a large class of minimum divergence estimators with or without restrictions on the parameters.

Cross-Language Personal Name Mapping

description: Name matching between multiple natural languages is an important step in cross-enterprise integration applications and data mining. It is difficult to decide whether or not two syntactic values (names) from two heterogeneous data sources are alternative designation of the same semantic entity (person), this process becomes more difficult with Arabic language due to several factors including spelling and pronunciation variation, dialects and special vowel and consonant distinction and other linguistic characteristics. This paper proposes a new framework for name matching between the Arabic language and other languages. The framework uses a dictionary based on a new proposed version of the Soundex algorithm to encapsulate the recognition of special features of Arabic names. The framework proposes a new proximity matching algorithm to suit the high importance of order sensitivity in Arabic name matching. New performance evaluation metrics are proposed as well. The framework is implemented and verified empirically in several case studies demonstrating substantial improvements compared to other well-known techniques found in literature.

description: Combining first-principles calculations and spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements, we identify the helical spin textures for three different Dirac cone states in the interfaced systems of a 2D topological insulator (TI) of Bi(111) bilayer and a 3D TI Bi2Se3 or Bi2Te3. The spin texture is found to be the same for the intrinsic Dirac cone of Bi2Se3 or Bi2Te3 surface state, the extrinsic Dirac cone of Bi bilayer state induced by Rashba effect, and the hybridized Dirac cone between the former two states. Further orbit- and atom-resolved analysis shows that s and pz orbits have a clockwise (counterclockwise) spin rotation tangent to the iso-energy contour of upper (lower) Dirac cone, while px and py orbits have an additional radial spin component. The Dirac cone states may reside on different atomic layers, but have the same spin texture. Our results suggest that the unique spin texture of Dirac cone states is a signature property of spin-orbit coupling, independent of topology.

description: We present the observation of a major solar eruption that is associated with fast sunspot rotation. The event includes a sigmoidal filament eruption, a coronal mass ejection, and a GOES X2.1 flare from NOAA active region 11283. The filament and some overlying arcades were partially rooted in a sunspot. The sunspot rotated at $\sim$10$^\circ$ per hour rate during a period of 6 hours prior to the eruption. In this period, the filament was found to rise gradually along with the sunspot rotation. Based on the HMI observation, for an area along the polarity inversion line underneath the filament, we found gradual pre-eruption decreases of both the mean strength of the photospheric horizontal field ($B_h$) and the mean inclination angle between the vector magnetic field and the local radial (or vertical) direction. These observations are consistent with the pre-eruption gradual rising of the filament-associated magnetic structure. In addition, according to the Non-Linear Force-Free-Field reconstruction of the coronal magnetic field, a pre-eruption magnetic flux rope structure is found to be in alignment with the filament, and a considerable amount of magnetic energy was transported to the corona during the period of sunspot rotation. Our study provides evidences that in this event sunspot rotation plays an important role in twisting, energizing, and destabilizing the coronal filament-flux rope system, and led to the eruption. We also propose that the pre-event evolution of $B_h$ may be used to discern the driving mechanism of eruptions.

description: We apply the many-particle quantum hydrodynamics including the Coulomb exchange interaction to magnetized quantum plasmas. We consider a number of wave phenomenon under influence of the Coulomb exchange interaction. Since the Coulomb exchange interaction affects longitudinal and transverse-longitudinal waves we focus our attention to the Langmuir waves, Trivelpiece-Gould waves, ion-acoustic waves in non-isothermal magnetized plasmas, the dispersion of the longitudinal low-frequency ion-acoustic waves and low-frequencies electromagnetic waves at $T_{e}\gg T_{i}$ . We obtained the numerical simulation of the dispersion properties of different types of waves.

description: The local magnetism induced by vacancies in the presence of the spin-orbital interaction is investigated based on the half-filled Kane-Mele-Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice. Using the self-consistent mean-field theory, we find that the spin-orbital coupling will enhance the localization of the spin moments near a single vacancy. We further study the magnetic structures along the zigzag edges formed by a chain of vacancies. We find that the spin-orbital coupling tends to suppress the counter-polarized ferrimagnetic order on the upper and lower edges, because of the open of the spin-orbital gap. As a result, in the case of the balance number of sublattices, it will suppress completely this kind of ferrimagnetic order. But, for the imbalance case, a ferrimagnetic order along both edges exists because additional zero modes will not be affected by the spin-orbital coupling.

description: In the present Chapter, we consider two prototypical Klein-Gordon models: the integrable sine-Gordon equation and the non-integrable $ϕ^4$ model. We focus, in particular, on two of their prototypical solutions, namely the kink-like heteroclinic connections and the time-periodic, exponentially localized in space breather waveforms. Two limits of the discrete variants of these models are contrasted: on the one side, the analytically tractable original continuum limit, and on the opposite end, the highly discrete, so-called anti-continuum limit of vanishing coupling. Numerical computations are used to bridge these two limits, as regards the existence, stability and dynamical properties of the waves. Finally, a recent variant of this theme is presented in the form of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Klein-Gordon field theories and a number of relevant results are touched upon.

description: We refute a physical model, recently proposed by Gunn, Allison and Abbott (GAA) [arXiv:1402.2709v2], to utilize electromagnetic waves for eavesdropping on the Kirchhoff-law-Johnson-noise (KLJN) secure key distribution. Their model, and its theoretical underpinnings, is found to be fundamentally flawed because their assumption of electromagnetic waves violates not only the wave equation but also the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the Principle of Detailed Balance, Boltzmann's Energy Equipartition Theorem, and Planck's formula by implying infinitely strong blackbody radiation. We deduce the correct mathematical model of the GAA scheme, which is based on impedances at the quasi-static limit. Mathematical analysis and simulation results confirm our approach and prove that GAA's experimental interpretation is incorrect too.

description: We have studied the neutron-capture reactions 10,11B(n, g) and the role of the 11B(n, g) reaction in seeding r-process nucleosynthesis. The possibility of the description of the available experimental data for cross sections of the neutron capture reaction on 10B at thermal and astrophysical energies, taking into account the resonance at 475 keV, was considered within the framework of the modified potential cluster model (MPCM) with forbidden states and accounting for the resonance behavior of the scattering phase shifts. In the framework of the same model the possibility of describing the available experimental data for the total cross sections of the neutron radiative capture on 11B at thermal and astrophysical energies were considered with taking into account the 21 and 430 keV resonances. Description of the available experimental data on the total cross sections and astrophysical S-factor of the radiative proton capture on 11B to the ground state of 12C was treated at astrophysical energies. The possibility of description of the experimental data for the astrophysical S-factor of the radiative proton capture on 14C to the ground state of 15N at astrophysical energies, and the radiative proton capture on 15N at the energies from 50 to 1500 keV was considered in the framework of the MPCM with the classification of the orbital states according to Young tableaux. It was shown that, on the basis of the M1 and the E1 transitions from different states of the p15N scattering to the ground state of 16O in the p15N channel, it is quite succeed to explain general behavior of the S-factor in the considered energy range in the presence of two resonances.

On the Excess Bandwidth Allocation in ISP Traffic Control for Shared Access Networks

description: Current practice of shaping subscriber traffic based on token bucket by Internet service provider (ISP) allows short-term fluctuations in its shaped rate and thereby enables a subscriber to transmit traffic at a higher rate than a negotiated long-term average. The traffic shaping, however, results in significant waste of network resources, especially when there are only a few active subscribers, because it cannot allocate excess bandwidth to active subscribers in the long term. In this letter we investigate the long-term aspect of resource sharing in ISP traffic control for shared access networks. We discuss major requirements for the excess bandwidth allocation in shared access networks and propose ISP traffic control schemes based on core-stateless fair queueing (CSFQ) and token bucket meters. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed schemes allocate excess bandwidth among active subscribers in a fair and efficient way, while not compromising the service contracts specified by token bucket for conformant subscribers.

description: K-means Fast Learning Artificial Neural Network (K-FLANN) is an unsupervised neural network requires two parameters: tolerance and vigilance. Best Clustering results are feasible only by finest parameters specified to the neural network. Selecting optimal values for these parameters is a major problem. To solve this issue, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to determine optimal parameters of K-FLANN for finding groups in multidimensional data. K-FLANN is a simple topological network, in which output nodes grows dynamically during the clustering process on receiving input patterns. Original K-FLANN is enhanced to select winner unit out of the matched nodes so that stable clusters are formed with in a less number of epochs.

description: We studied the roles of morphogenetic principles---heterogeneity of components, dynamic differentiation/re-differentiation of components, and local information sharing among components---in the self-organization of morphogenetic collective systems. By incrementally introducing these principles to collectives, we defined four distinct classes of morphogenetic collective systems. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted using an extended version of the Swarm Chemistry model that was equipped with dynamic differentiation/re-differentiation and local information sharing capabilities. Self-organization of swarms was characterized by several kinetic and topological measurements, the latter of which were facilitated by a newly developed network-based method. Results of simulations revealed that, while heterogeneity of components had a strong impact on the structure and behavior of the swarms, dynamic differentiation/re-differentiation of components and local information sharing helped the swarms maintain spatially adjacent, coherent organization.

description: By using the unique database of SOHO/MDI full disk magnetograms from 1996 September to 2011 January, covering the entire solar cycle 23, we analyze the time-variability of the solar magnetic flux spectrum and study the properties of extended minimum of cycle 23. We totally identify 11.5 million magnetic structures. It has been revealed that magnetic features with different magnetic fluxes exhibit different cycle behaviors. The magnetic features with flux larger than $4.0 \times 10^{19}$ Mx, which cover solar active regions and strong network features, show exactly the same variation as sunspots; However, the remaining $82\%$ magnetic features which cover the majority of network elements show anti-phase variation with sunspots. We select a riterion that the monthly sunspot number is less than 20 to represent the Sun's low activity status. Then we find the extended minimum of cycle 23 is characterized by the long duration of low activity status, but the magnitude of magnetic flux in this period is not lower than previous cycle. Both the duration of low activity status and the minimum activity level defined by minimum sunspot number show a century period approximately. The extended minimum of cycle 23 shows similarities with solar cycle 11, which preceded the mini-maxima in later solar cycles. This similarity is suggestive that the solar cycles following cycle 23 are likely to have low activity.

description: In present paper, the equivalence problem for fourth order differential operators with one variable under general fiber-preserving transformation using the Cartan method of equivalence is applied. Two versions of equivalence problems are considered. First, the direct equivalence problem and second equivalence problem is to determine the sufficient and necessary conditions on two fourth order differential operators such that there exists a fiber-preserving transformation mapping one to the other according to gauge equivalence.

description: Large-scale structure of the universe is a useful cosmological probe of the primordial non-Gaussianity and the expansion history of the universe because its topology does not change with time in the linear regime in the standard paradigm of structure formation. However, when the topology of iso-density contour surfaces is measured from an observational data, many systematic effects are introduced due to the finite size of pixels used to define the density field, non-linear gravitational evolution, redshift-space distortion, shot noise (discrete sampling), and bias in the distribution of the density field tracers. We study the various systematic effects on the genus curve to a great accuracy by using the Horizon Run 2 simulation of a ΛCDM cosmology. We numerically measure the genus curve from the gravitationally evolved matter and dark matter halo density fields. It is found that all the non-Gaussian deviations due to the systematic effects can be modeled by using a few low-order Hermite polynomials from H0 to H4. We compare our results with the analytic theories whenever possible, and find many new terms in the Hermite series that are making significant contributions to the non-Gaussian deviations. In particular, it is found that the amplitude drop of the genus curve due to the non-linear gravitational evolution can be accurately modeled by two terms H0 and H2 with coefficients both proportional to σ_0^2, the mean-square density fluctuation.

description: We show that by switching on a spin-orbit interaction in a cold-atom system, experiencing a Zeeman-like coupling to an external field, e.g., in a Bose-Einstein condensate, one can simulate a quantum measurement on a precessing spin. Depending on the realization, the measurement can access both the ergodic and the Zeno regimes, while {the time dependence} of the spin's decoherence may vary from a Gaussian to an inverse fractional power law. Back action of the measurement forms time- and coordinate-dependent profiles of the atoms' density, resulting in its translation, spin-dependent fragmentation, and appearance of interference patterns.

Stellar abundances of beryllium and CUBES

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Stellar abundances of beryllium are useful in different areas of astrophysics, including studies of the Galactic chemical evolution, of stellar evolution, and of the formation of globular clusters. Determining Be abundances in stars is, however, a challenging endeavor. The two Be II resonance lines useful for abundance analyses are in the near UV, a region strongly affected by atmospheric extinction. CUBES is a new spectrograph planned for the VLT that will be more sensitive than current instruments in the near UV spectral region. It will allow the observation of fainter stars, expanding the number of targets where Be abundances can be determined. Here, a brief review of stellar abundances of Be is presented together with a discussion of science cases for CUBES. In particular, preliminary simulations of CUBES spectra are presented, highlighting its possible impact in investigations of Be abundances of extremely metal-poor stars and of stars in globular clusters.

description: We analyze topological properties of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model with a quasiperiodic superlattice potential. This system can be realized in interacting ultracold bosons in optical lattice in the presence of an incommensurate superlattice potential. We first analyze the quasiperiodic superlattice made by the cosine function, which we call Harper-like Bose-Hubbard model. We compute the Chern number and observe a gap-closing behavior as the interaction strength $U$ is changed. Also, we discuss the bulk-edge correspondence in our system. Furthermore, we explore the phase diagram as a function of $U$ and a continuous deformation parameter $β$ between the Harper-like model and another important quasiperiodic lattice, the Fibonacci model. We numerically confirm that the incommensurate charge density wave (ICDW) phase is topologically non-trivial and it is topologically equivalent in the whole ICDW region.

description: Additional file 1: Figure S1. Broken Stick algorithm applied to archived depth/temperature and depth/oxygen curves. The broken stick algorithm (“transmitted”) used in the current SCOUT tag implementation is overlaid on the most recent archived profiles of oxygen saturation and temperature from a recovered pop-up tag. In this case, the broken stick curve was fitted with six points as opposed to eleven used in the case reported here. Figure S2. Conceptual rendering of translation of dive behavior into a broken stick temperature profile. In this stylized dive and surfacing event (blue line) temperatures at the same depth (yellow arrows) are overwritten until the last values stored (red numbers) are used to create the virtual upcast temperature profile (red line). Values imported here from the top panel (red dots) are among many hundreds comprising a typical upcast profile. Inflection points on the upcast (blue squares) are used to construct the eleven-point transmitted broken stick profile (black squares, inset). Figure S3. Upcast creation and time discontinuities. Temperatures are recorded every second throughout the dive but only the values in blue are used to create the virtual upcast. Dashed line shows temporal discontinuities. In the current study, any discontinuity greater than 1 h resulted in a ‘discontinuity flag’ appearing in the broken stick profile. Figure S4. Profile 38 was constructed between 0746 and 0801 (i.e., 15 min + 15 min) on 5/12/21 and transmitted from a Fastloc-derived location approximately 1.6 km south of Kewalo Basin, Oahu. The profile originated at 256 m. Assuming the slowest ascent rate (30 min), average ascent rate = 8.5 m/min (2.9 body lengths/min).

description: The effects of telluric absorption on infrared spectra present a problem for the observer. Strong molecular absorptions from species whose concentrations vary with time can be particularly challenging to remove precisely. Yet removing these effects is key to accurately determining the composition of many astronomical objects, planetary atmospheres in particular. Here we present a method for removing telluric effects based on a modelling approach. The method relies only on observations usually made by the planetary astronomer, and so is directly comparable with current techniques. We use the modelling approach to process observations made of Jupiter, and Saturnian moon Titan and compare the results with those of the standard telluric division technique, finding the modelling approach to have distinct advantages even in conditions regarded as ideal for telluric division.
