description: Chemical models predict that the deuterated fraction (the column density ratio between a molecule containing D and its counterpart containing H) of N2H+, Dfrac(N2H+), is high in massive pre-protostellar cores and rapidly drops of an order of magnitude after the protostar birth, while that of HNC, Dfrac(HNC), remains constant for much longer. We tested these predictions by deriving Dfrac(HNC) in 22 high-mass star forming cores divided in three different evolutionary stages, from high-mass starless core candidates (HMSCs, 8) to high-mass protostellar objects (HMPOs, 7) to Ultracompact HII regions (UCHIIs, 7). For all of them, Dfrac (N2H+) was already determined through IRAM-30m Telescope observations, which confirmed the theoretical rapid decrease of Dfrac(N2H+) after protostar birth (Fontani et al. 2011). Therefore our comparative study is not affected by biases introduced by the source selection. We have found average Dfrac(HNC) of 0.012, 0.009 and 0.008 in HMSCs, HMPOs and UCHIIs, respectively, with no statistically significant differences among the three evolutionary groups. These findings confirm the predictions of the chemical models, and indicate that large values of Dfrac(N2H+) are more suitable than large values of Dfrac(HNC) to identify cores on the verge of forming high-mass stars, likewise what found in the low-mass regime.

description: We study the dynamics of $SU(2)_L$ times $U(1)_Y$ electroweak gauge fields during and after Higgs inflation. In particular, we investigate configurations of the gauge fields during inflation and find the gauge fields remain topologically non-trivial. We also find that the gauge fields grow due to parametric resonances caused by oscillations of a Higgs field after inflation. We show that the Chern-Simons number also grows significantly. Interestingly, the parametric amplification gives rise to sizable magnetic fields after the inflation whose final amplitudes depend on the anisotropy survived during inflation.

description: Topological insulators are a newly discovered phase of matter characterized by a gapped bulk surrounded by novel conducting boundary states. Since their theoretical discovery, these materials have encouraged intense efforts to study their properties and capabilities. Among the most striking results of this activity are proposals to engineer a new variety of superconductor at the surfaces of topological insulators. These topological superconductors would be capable of supporting localized Majorana fermions, particles whose braiding properties have been proposed as the basis of a fault-tolerant quantum computer. Despite the clear theoretical motivation, a conclusive realization of topological superconductivity remains an outstanding experimental goal. Here we present measurements of superconductivity induced in two-dimensional HgTe/HgCdTe quantum wells, a material which becomes a quantum spin Hall insulator when the well width exceeds d_{C}=6.3 nm. In wells that are 7.5 nm wide, we find that supercurrents are confined to the one-dimensional sample edges as the bulk density is depleted. However, when the well width is decreased to 4.5 nm the edge supercurrents cannot be distinguished from those in the bulk. These results provide evidence for superconductivity induced in the helical edges of the quantum spin Hall effect, a promising step toward the demonstration of one-dimensional topological superconductivity. Our results also provide a direct measurement of the widths of these edge channels, which range from 180 nm to 408 nm.

Cultural Translation: Curricular Discourse with/in Internacionalization of Curriculum Studies
Creators: name: Moon, Seungho
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2012

description: This paper explicates theories of cultural translation as lenses to enrich discourses on the internationalization of curriculum studies. Mainly drawing from Judith Butler (2000), I theorize cultural translation as political engagement by challenging normalized meanings of curriculum, cultural difference, and national identity. In part, using self-reflexive autobiographical inquiry, I critically explore my engagement in the internationalization of curriculum studies and review assumptions embedded within my participation. Situating my participation with/in a necessary analysis of my birthplace, South Korea, I investigate the ways in which curriculum theorists create new vocabulary to include complicated meanings of culture, curriculum, and national identity that go beyond universalized notions of self/other, colonizer/colonized, and East/West. This task of cultural translation purports to pry open conversations about our daily struggles to consider whose knowledge, life, or curriculum is recognized as valuable and whose is not. Overall, this paper is meaningful to provide a curricular discourse to foster openness, fluidity, and mobility by working at the cultural and social limits of universal and universalized concepts of curriculum studies and its internationalization.

description: In storying my current relationship with abeyance, this paper plays with the ambiguity of a word that is often used in relation to transitory times. In giving up on one definition, it holds back from being everything it can be, and creates spaces for what matters in education to emerge. Three stories relate beautiful confusions inherent in my learning with abeyance. They share colourful experiences of trying to suspend the self from the ego's tendency for divisiveness, and in so doing, let sparks fly; illuminating the complexities of a process, which as it rises in awareness, also gestures toward worlds beyond and the spaces around these worlds.

An Approach for Normalizing Fuzzy Relational Databases Based on Join Dependency
Creators: name: S, Deepa
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Databases (cs.DB)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Fuzziness in databases is used to denote uncertain or incomplete data. Relational Databases stress on the nature of the data to be certain. This certainty based data is used as the basis of the normalization approach designed for traditional relational databases. But real world data may not always be certain, thereby making it necessary to design an approach for normalization that deals with fuzzy data. This paper focuses on the approach for designing the fifth normal form (5NF) based on join dependencies for fuzzy data. The basis of join dependency for fuzzy relational databases is derived from the basic relational database concepts. As join dependency implies an multivalued dependency by symmetry the proof of join dependency based normalization is stated from the perspective of multivalued dependency based normalization on fuzzy relational databases.

Fukushima Daiichi: a Never-Ending Story of Pain or Outrage?
Creators: name: Spector, Hannah
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2012

description: This article aims to contribute to scholarship on cosmopolitanism and education, with particular relevancy for environmental education. While much of current research in this area has underscored cosmopolitanism as a politico-philosophical project for global justice or a worldly sensibility that can be cultivated through literal and/or metaphoric travel to different lands, I argue that cosmopolitanism ought also to be understood in phenomenological-environmental terms. Drawing from Ulrich Beck’s work on world risk society and Hannah Arendt’s on responsibility, I examine the Fukushima nuclear disaster as a case of actually existing cosmopolitanism. When understood as a global risk (turned catastrophe), cosmopolitanism presents an urgent occasion to summons a “postnational ethics of responsibility” (Beck). Such an ethics centralizes the importance that story and metaphor play in planetary sustainability.

description: This paper presents, a Group Based Optimal Retransmission Medium Access (GORMA) Protocol is designed that combines protocol of Collision Avoidance (CA) and energy management for low-cost, short-range, low-data rate and low-energy sensor nodes applications in environment monitoring, agriculture, industrial plants etc. In this paper, the GORMA protocol focuses on efficient MAC protocol to provide autonomous Quality of Service (QoS) to the sensor nodes in one-hop QoS retransmission group and two QoS groups in WSNs where the source nodes do not have receiver circuits. Hence, they can only transmit data to a sink node, but cannot receive acknowledgement control signals from the sink node. The proposed protocol GORMA provides QoS to the nodes which work independently on predefined time by allowing them to transmit each packet an optimal number of times within a given period. Our simulation results shows that the performance of GORMA protocol, which maximize the delivery probability of one-hop QoS group and two QoS groups and minimize the energy consumption.

description: Millimeter wave (mmW) frequencies between 30 and 300 GHz are a new frontier for cellular communication that offers the promise of orders of magnitude greater bandwidths combined with further gains via beamforming and spatial multiplexing from multi-element antenna arrays. This paper surveys measurements and capacity studies to assess this technology with a focus on small cell deployments in urban environments. The conclusions are extremely encouraging; measurements in New York City at 28 and 73 GHz demonstrate that, even in an urban canyon environment, significant non-line-of-sight (NLOS) outdoor, street-level coverage is possible up to approximately 200 m from a potential low power micro- or picocell base station. In addition, based on statistical channel models from these measurements, it is shown that mmW systems can offer more than an order of magnitude increase in capacity over current state-of-the-art 4G cellular networks at current cell densities. Cellular systems, however, will need to be significantly redesigned to fully achieve these gains. Specifically, the requirement of highly directional and adaptive transmissions, directional isolation between links and significant possibilities of outage have strong implications on multiple access, channel structure, synchronization and receiver design. To address these challenges, the paper discusses how various technologies including adaptive beamforming, multihop relaying, heterogeneous network architectures and carrier aggregation can be leveraged in the mmW context.

Indian Social Studies Curriculum in Transition: Effects of a Paradigm Shift in Curriculum Discourse
Creators: name: Kumar, Ashwani
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2012

description: This study analyzes the effects of a recent shift in curriculum discourse in India on social studies curriculum and teaching. It compares the National Curriculum Frameworks of 2000 and 2005 with particular reference to social studies curriculum and teaching and reports the results of interviews and a focus-group discussion conducted with three social studies schoolteachers to understand the effects of a national level curriculum change on the lived reality of the classroom. Findings indicate that the National Curriculum Framework 2005 and textbooks developed from this framework provide space for teachers and students to engage in dialogue about the conflicts and problems of society. Such a shift indicates a transition which could well be compared to the transition of social studies in the U.S. from “traditional social studies instruction” to “social studies for social change,” theoretically speaking. Notwithstanding the changes at the level of the curriculum, the interviews and a focus-group discussion with teachers suggest that the dominance of a behavioristic-positivistic examination system continues to encourage atheoretical, apolitical, and ahistorical teaching.

description: In this paper the dielectric properties of human trabecular bone are evaluated under physiological condition in the microwave range. Assuming a two components medium, simulation and experimental data are presented and discussed. A special experimental setup is developed in order to deal with inhomogeneous samples. Simulation data are obtained using finite difference time domain from a realistic sample. The bone mineral density of the samples are also measured. The simulation and experimental results of the present study suggest that there is a negative relation between bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and permittivity (conductivity): the higher the BV/TV the lower the permittivity (conductivity). This is in agreement with the recently published in vivo data. Keywords: Bone dielectric properties, Microwave tomography, Finite difference time domain.

Reading Education’s Front Covers and Margins

Year: 2012

description: Starting with the premise that most institutions often use images to convey different messages about their activities and that schools and school boards are no exception to this, I decided to use tools of discourse analysis to read the wor(l)d of ministries of education from three different Western countries (Canada, USA and France) as depicted by some of the pictures used by these ministries to (re)present themselves to various stakeholders in education. The tools of discourse analysis that I used led me to determine what these ministries had assumed that their audience knew, what meanings they constructed, in what context and what they were doing with the constructed meanings. After analyzing each picture, I concluded that the three ministries depicted for the most part connections between their operations and values like unity, health, wealth, collaboration, family, diversity and education. As a result, I argued that, as such, the ministries left in the margins the underprivileged, people with disabilities and those having negative experiences in schools.

A Curriculum of Cultural Translation: Desi identities in American Chai
Creators: name: Ausman, Tasha
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2012

description: This article examines narrative articulations in the film American Chai as a complicated conversation in relation to the sociocultural constructions of bi/cultural-identities within Indian diaspora communities. Unpacking the way desi (first-generation Indo-Canadian) identities are enunciated in/as a quantum (third) space – one that is continuously shifting and deferred – the author contemplates how we might reconsider the narratives put forth in this film as a curriculum of cultural translations. In turn, her curriculum theory project provokes us to ask what we might learn from inter-generational culture-clashes in the curricular spaces among Indian and Western cultures depicted in film. The author draws upon screenplay pedagogy to analyze and then synthesize possible ways that desi movies sometimes employ melodrama to construct a curriculum of living at, within, and among the interstitial and temporal margins of different cultural spaces. The article concludes by proposing that working through a curriculum of cultural translations put forth by films can help one to reconstruct their subjectivity anew in relation to the ongoing migratory transnational movements of diaspora communities here in Canada.

description: We have measured the thermal conductivity along different directions of the S = 1/2 one-dimensional (1D) spin system Sr2V3O9 in magnetic fields up to 14 T. It has been found that the thermal conductivity along the [10-1] direction, \k{appa}[10-1], is large and markedly suppressed by the application of magnetic field, indicating that there is a large contribution of spinons to \k{appa}[10-1] and that the spin chains run along the [10-1] direction. The maximum value of the thermal conductivity due to spinons is ~14 W/Km along the [10-1] direction, supporting the empirical law that the magnitude of the thermal conductivity due to spinons is roughly proportional to the antiferromagnetic interaction between the nearest neighboring spins.

Curricular and Educational Practice Policies

description: This text discusses an ethnographical study made in a Primary Education school of the municipal public system of Rio de Janeiro. Its purpose is to analyze the impact of the current curricular policies in that school. I took part in Teachers’ Meetings and in different activities of the various pedagogic projects implemented by the school and also talked to the students about school life. In this way, I saw the many strategies the teachers introduced for accompanying the different curricular proposals. As a whole, an immense array of problems was noted, resulting, on one side, from the actual school organization or from the limits of school organization and, on the other, from the times in which we are living. In my work of observing pedagogic practices, I picked out some aspects that seem to me fundamental for outlining the scenario in which its school curriculum or curricula are structured. Thus, through a discourse on quality and efficiency – reflected in the results observed – the Municipal Education Department was imposing a new institutional culture, new profiles of activity and new subjectivities. In other words, what I found was that the teaching work was being controlled by criteria of efficiency, constructed in management spaces of school activity outside the school. On the other hand, I also saw many kinds of recontextualization of those proposals in the school’s everyday life.

Deconstructing a Curriculum of Dominance: Teacher Education, Colonial Frontier Logics, and Residential Schooling

description: This article considers the idea of a curriculum of dominance in relation to the colonial logics that have, and continue to, shape the lived experiences and knowledges of both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal individuals living in Ontario, Canada. In thinking about the present absence of certain Aboriginal narratives in relation to the ‘fort’ of Canadian history, the authors contemplate the ways in which the circumscribed logics of colonialism limit how we understand historical knowledge of Aboriginal groups not only as curriculum scholars but also as teachers and students who work in and have been educated in colonial public and Catholic schooling systems. Utilizing narrative assemblage as a research and writing methodology we partake in a dialectic wherein we confront the contours of colonial frontier logics. By braiding in our lived experiences, we seek to understand how curricular materials facilitate the silencing of certain Aboriginal narratives like residential schooling, the ways in which filmic representations can serve to re-write and redress lost memories, how one can learn from those who were subject to the violence of colonialism and how, as educators, we can address the violence and historical exclusion in our teacher education programs. Through this process, we suggest that although the continued discursive violence of colonial logics shape popular understandings of Aboriginal experiences in the Canadian nation-state, as socially justice orientated teachers we must continue to challenge the re-inscriptions of a curriculum of dominance within our future classrooms.

Year: 2012

description: In this article, we discuss the category citizenship and its connections with culture and Brazilian curriculum policy. First, we investigate citizenship as a signifier, highlighting some features that became attached to it throughout history. We refer to authors such as T.H. Marshall (1967), Santos (1997), Candau (2008), Alvarenga (2010) e Hall (2009) to understand how the conception of citizenship historically evolved, as well as its relationship to human rights, with focus on current meanings. In sequence, we look at the relationship between citizenship and culture, with special attention to the articulation between citizenship and multiculturalism. Afterwards, we analyze the views of citizenship found in Brazilian curriculum policy these days, taking as an analytical sample the Complementary Document to the National Guidelines for the teaching of Sociology in secondary school (PCN +) and we consider our findings in the light of critical insights about features of contemporary educational policy. As an alternative to current approaches of citizenship in the curriculum, we suggest an understanding of citizenship as an everyday practice (Biesta, 2011), with the aim of bringing to light some aspects of the concept that seem to be relevant for its re-signification within the field of contemporary curriculum studies.

description: The photon-ion merged-beams technique has been employed at the new Photon-Ion spectrometer at PETRA III (PIPE) for measuring multiple photoionization of Xe$^{q+}$ (q=1-5) ions. Total ionization cross sections have been obtained on an absolute scale for the dominant ionization reactions of the type hν+ Xe$^{q+}$ $\to$ Xe$^{r+}$ + (q-r) e$^-$ with product charge states q+2 $\le$ r $\le$ q+5. Prominent ionization features are observed in the photon-energy range 650-750 eV, which are associated with excitation or ionization of an inner-shell 3d electron. Single-configuration Dirac-Fock calculations agree quantitatively with the experimental cross sections for non-resonant photoabsorption, but fail to reproduce all details of the measured ionization resonance structures.

Year: 2012

description: The article examines representations of the research-teaching nexus in curriculum design in contemporary higher education. It brings to the fore the pivotal aspects of enhancing research-teaching nexus in university studies reflecting dynamic and holistic view of curriculum design. Interviews with 27 academic teachers and 23 students from a multidisciplinary research university constitute the basis for the research. All the informants were involved in curricular work. The analysis was conducted by combining data and theory driven content analysis. The findings indicate the split nature of representations, revealing tensions within the internally and externally driven curricular goals of higher education, and the ways of understanding the role of research and teaching. Also interconnected representations emerged which were found to be crucial in order to enhance Humboldtian ideals in research-teaching nexus in curriculum design.

The Impossibility of Representation: A Semiotic Museological Reading of Aboriginal Cultural Diversity
Creators: name: Furo, Annette
name: Ibrahim, Awad
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2012

description: By undertaking a semiotic analysis of the Canadian Museum of Civilization depiction and celebration of Aboriginal cultural diversity we question the constructed nature of the representations therein and how these representations encourage us-visitors to read the gallery as mirroring ‘the real’ of Aboriginal cultures. Located in Ottawa, Canada, we chose one exhibition within the Museum where we identified key messages that encouraged us-visitors to attach an abstract notion of Aboriginal diversity to the texts. Through abstraction, the selection of objects and images, we argue, take on a connoted meaning which enables them to stand in for or represent an abstract concept of diversity. As important sites of critical curriculum studies (Ibrahim, 2004), we suggest through what we are calling ‘semiotic pedagogy’ that educators and learners take a critical reading of such exhibitions, with particular attention to the way the logic of the narratives presented reinforces or disrupts (their) notions of Aboriginal cultures.

Subjects: Tourism, crises, change, landscape stewardship, future prospects

description: Landscape and tourism are irrevocably linked together and co-constitutive, in a variety of ways. This study explores this reciprocal relationship in light of changing circumstances and parameters, in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the context of a series of evolving crises (climate, energy, economic, etc.). The paper engages in a critical discussion/ assessment of the prospects, pitfalls and potential of landscape for future tourism development and vice versa, based on an overview of relevant scientific literature and research findings of the H2020 EU Project SPOT . The paper, thus, aims at unveiling and elaborating on current and emerging trends and patterns that refer to and reinforce the relationship landscape-tourism, through a SWOT analysis.

description: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating monogenic skeletal muscle-wasting disorder. Although many pharmacological and genetic interventions have been reported in preclinical studies, few have progressed to clinical trials with meaningful benefit. Identifying therapeutic potential can be limited by availability of suitable preclinical mouse models. More rigorous testing across models with varied background strains and mutations can identify treatments for clinical success. Here, we report the generation of a DMD mouse model with a CRISPR-induced deletion within exon 62 of the dystrophin gene (Dmd) and the first generated in BALB/c mice. Analysis of mice at 3, 6 and 12 months of age confirmed loss of expression of the dystrophin protein isoform Dp427 and resultant dystrophic pathology in limb muscles and the diaphragm, with evidence of centrally nucleated fibers, increased inflammatory markers and fibrosis, progressive decline in muscle function, and compromised trabecular bone development. The BALB/c.mdx62 mouse is a novel model of DMD with associated variations in the immune response and muscle phenotype, compared with those of existing models. It represents an important addition to the preclinical model toolbox for developing therapeutic strategies.

description: An iterated refinement procedure for the Guruswami-Sudan list decoding algorithm for Generalised Reed-Solomon codes based on Alekhnovich's module minimisation is proposed. The method is parametrisable and allows variants of the usual list decoding approach. In particular, finding the list of closest codewords within an intermediate radius can be performed with improved average-case complexity while retaining the worst-case complexity. We provide a detailed description of the module minimisation, reanalysing the Mulders-Storjohann algorithm and drawing new connections to both Alekhnovich's algorithm and Lee-O'Sullivan's. Furthermore, we show how to incorporate the re-encoding technique of Kötter and Vardy into our iterative algorithm.

description: We consider approaches for improving the efficiency of algorithms for fitting nonconvex penalized regression models such as SCAD and MCP in high dimensions. In particular, we develop rules for discarding variables during cyclic coordinate descent. This dimension reduction leads to a substantial improvement in the speed of these algorithms for high-dimensional problems. The rules we propose here eliminate a substantial fraction of the variables from the coordinate descent algorithm. Violations are quite rare, especially in the locally convex region of the solution path, and furthermore, may be easily detected and corrected by checking the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions. We extend these rules to generalized linear models, as well as to other nonconvex penalties such as the $\ell_2$-stabilized Mnet penalty, group MCP, and group SCAD. We explore three variants of the coordinate decent algorithm that incorporate these rules and study the efficiency of these algorithms in fitting models to both simulated data and on real data from a genome-wide association study.
Daoism and Feminism: Identity through Life Stories of Chinese Immigrant Women
Creators: name: Li, Xin

Year: 2012

description: This paper was originally presented at American Educational Research Association (AERA) 2008 Conference held at New York. Observing the conservative trend in feminist identity in teacher education classrooms in U.S.A. as well as internationally, I inquire about a few Chinese immigrant women life experiences in modern China and during their early years of immigration to Canada. Situating these individual’s life stories in particular cultural and historical moments, I explore gender expectations of them and roles they played. The details of these women’s lives, revealed a Daoist interplay between the traditional male and female identities. Following the Daoist thinking, I propose a Daoist gender identity that interplays between dimorphism and polymorphism.

description: For at least fifty years, the inverted pendulum has been the most popular benchmark, among others, for teaching and researches in control theory and robotics. This paper presents the key motivations for the use of that system and explains, in details, the main reflections on how the inverted pendulum benchmark gives an effective and efficient application. Several real experiences, virtual models and web-based remote control laboratories will be presented with emphasis on the practical design implementation of this system. A bibliographical survey of different design control approaches and trendy robotic problems will be presented through applications to the inverted pendulum system. In total, 150 references in the open literature, dating back to 1960, are compiled to provide an overall picture of historical, current and challenging developments.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Cyclades: balancing between current shortcomings and future regenerative perspectives in cultural tourism
Creators: name: Theano, Terkenli S.
name: Vasiliki, Georgoula
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: cultural tourism, tourism-dependent destinations, regenerative development, participatory governance, Cyclades

description: Until July 2021, the repercussions of the pandemic had been grave for tourism-dependent countries, such as Greece, and particularly the Cycladic Islands. The rest of the 2021 tourism season, however, proved especially successful for Cycladic tourism, which poses the question of why and how a tourism destination may survive—and even profit from—but also redevelop after the pandemic. Towards this goal, the paper engages in a critical overview and analysis of the relationship between culture and tourism in the Cycladic islands of Andros, Syros and Santorini, in the context of the anticipated regeneration of both cultural and tourism development, in the post-pandemic era.
Finding Face, Finding Heart, and Finding Foundation: Life Writing and the Transformation of Educational Practice

description: Indigenous epistemologies acknowledge the individual journey of lifelong learning as a pathway, a sacred way of moving toward completeness or fully becoming one’s potential and gifting this essence to the multitude of unique essences which make up our world. In this process one is poised between an environmental ecology and a spiritual ecology (Cajete, 1994). The implicit goal of Finding Face (identity), Finding Heart (passion) and Finding Foundation (vocation) is the destination to which the various pathways of indigenous education ultimately lead (Cajete, 1994). This paper explores autobiographical inquiry in relation to teacher/researcher’s lived experiences of life writing, visual art activities, and action research in the context of indigenous epistemologies.

description: One of the greatest issues of nanoelectronics today is how to control the heating of the components. Graphene is a promising material in this area and it is essential to study its thermal properties. Here, the effect of heating a bilayer structure was investigated using in situ Raman spectroscopy. In order to observe the effects on each individual layer, an isotopically labelled bilayer graphene was synthesized where the two layers are composed of different carbon isotopes. Therefore, the frequency of the phonons in the Raman spectra is shifted in relation to each other. This technique was used to investigate the influence of different stacking order. It was found that in bilayer graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) the two layers behave very similarly, for both Bernal stacking and randomly oriented structures, while for transferred samples the layers act more independently. This highlights a significant dependence on sample preparation procedure.

“I Was Grown up Before I Was Born”: Wisdom in Kangiryarmuit Life Stories
Creators: name: Chambers, Cynthia
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2011

description: This essay draws from a collaborative (SSHRC funded) research project between a Canadian Inuit community and a literacy organization that followed life histories of Inuit (Kangiryarmuit) Elders that were digitally recorded, and translated into English, as a key source of data about traditional Inuit literacies (Balanoff & Chambers, 2005). Analysis of life history transcripts revealed that within life stories are “clues” (Ingold, 2000) to knowledge sought; that telling stories, including one’s own, is a social activity (Cruikshank, 1998) where meaning is not fixed but generated within the context, in this case, an “interview” of an Elder by Inuit researchers. The life histories, as recorded and transcribed, map out an interconnected world of places, people, and other-than human beings, and activities and experiences within that world.

description: We present a method to achieve one-way mode isolation in acoustic waveguides by considering spatio-temporal modulation of material properties. Mode conversion between symmetric and antisymmetric shear horizontal (SH) modes of an unbounded plate acoustic waveguide is demonstrated using this method. Analytical and numerical evidence for the possibility of mode conversion is presented. Possible experimental implementation and applications for on chip signal isolation in MEMS devices are also suggested.
