description: We consider linear feedback control of the two-dimensional flow past a cylinder at low Reynolds numbers, with a particular focus on the optimal placement of a single sensor and a single actuator. To accommodate the high dimensionality of the flow we compute its leading resolvent forcing and response modes to enable the design of H2-optimal estimators and controllers. We then investigate three control problems: i) optimal estimation (OE) in which we measure the flow at a single location and estimate the entire flow; ii) full-state information control (FIC) in which we measure the entire flow but actuate at only one location; and iii) the overall feedback control problem in which a single sensor is available for measurement and a single actuator is available for control. We characterize the performance of these control arrangements over a range of sensor and actuator placements and discuss implications for effective feedback control when using a single sensor and a single actuator. The optimal sensor and actuator placements found for the OE and FIC problems are also compared to those found for the overall feedback control problem over a range of Reynolds numbers. This comparison reveals the key factors and conflicting trade-offs that limit feedback control performance.

description: We discuss two aspects of f(R) theories of gravity in metric formalism. We first study the reasons to introduce a scalar-tensor representation for these theories and the behavior of this representation in the limit to General Relativity, f(R)--> R. We find that the scalar-tensor representation is well behaved even in this limit. Then we work out the exact equations for spherically symmetric sources using the original f(R) representation, solve the linearized equations, and compare our results with recent calculations of the literature. We observe that the linearized solutions are strongly affected by the cosmic evolution, which makes very unlikely that the cosmic speedup be due to f(R) models with correcting terms relevant at low curvatures.

description: The interplay between interaction, disorder, and dissipation has shown a rich phenomenology. Here we investigate a disordered XXZ spin chain in contact with a bath which, alone, would drive the system towards a highly delocalized and coherent Dicke state. We show that there exist regimes for which the natural orbitals of the single-particle density matrix of the steady state are all localized in the presence of strong disorders, either for weak interaction or strong interaction. We show that the averaged steady-state occupation in the eigenbasis of the open system Hamiltonian could follow an exponential decay for intermediate disorder strength in the presence of weak interactions, while it is more evenly spread for strong disorder or for stronger interactions. Last, we show that strong dissipation increases the coherence of the steady states, thus reducing the signatures of localization. We capture such signatures of localization also with a concatenated inverse participation ratio which simultaneously takes into account how localized are the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian, and how close is the steady state to an incoherent mixture of different energy eigenstates.

description: We present aperture synthesis imaging of dense molecular gas in the Large Magellanic Cloud, taken with the prototype millimeter receivers of the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). Our observations of the N113 HII region reveal a condensation with a size of ~6" (1.5 pc) FWHM, detected strongly in the 1-0 lines of HCO+, HCN and HNC, and weakly in C_2H. Comparison of the ATCA observations with single-dish maps from the Mopra Telescope and sensitive spectra from the Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope indicates that the condensation is a massive clump of ~10^4 solar masses within a larger ~10^5 solar mass molecular cloud. The clump is centered adjacent to a compact, obscured HII region which is part of a linear structure of radio continuum sources extending across the molecular cloud. We suggest that the clump represents a possible site for triggered star formation. Examining the integrated line intensities as a function of interferometer baseline length, we find evidence for decreasing HCO+/HCN and HCN/HNC ratios on longer baselines. These trends are consistent with a significant component of the HCO+ emission arising in an extended clump envelope and a lower HCN/HNC abundance ratio in dense cores.

description: The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument onboard the GOES 16 and 17 satellites has been shown to be capable of detecting bolides (bright meteors) in Earth's atmosphere. Due to its large, continuous field of view and immediate public data availability, GLM provides a unique opportunity to detect a large variety of bolides, including those in the 0.1 to 3 m diameter range and complements current ground-based bolide detection systems, which are typically sensitive to smaller events. We present a machine learning-based bolide detection and light curve generation pipeline being developed at NASA Ames Research Center as part of NASA's Asteroid Threat Assessment Project (ATAP). The ultimate goal is to generate a large catalog of calibrated bolide lightcurves to provide an unprecedented data set which will be used to inform meteor entry models on how incoming bodies interact with the Earth's atmosphere and to infer the pre-entry properties of the impacting bodies. The data set will also be useful for other asteroidal studies. This paper reports on the progress of the first part of this ultimate goal, namely, the automated bolide detection pipeline. Development of the training set, ML model training and iterative improvements in detection performance are presented. The pipeline runs in an automated fashion and bolide lightcurves along with other measured properties are promptly published on a NASA hosted publicly accessible website, https://neo-bolide.ndc.nasa.gov.

Correlation effects in quasi one dimensional electron wires

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We explore the role of electron correlation in quasi one dimensional quantum wires as the range of the interaction potential is changed and their thickness is varied by performing exact quantum Monte Carlo simulations at various electronic densities. In the case of unscreened interactions with a long range 1/x tail there is a crossover from a liquid to a quasi Wigner crystal state as the density decreases. When this interaction is screened, quasi long range order is prevented from forming, although a significant correlation with 4 k_F periodicity is still present at low densities. At even lower electron concentration, exchange is suppressed and the spin-dependent interactions become negligible, making the electrons behave like spinless fermions. We show that this behavior is shared by the long range and screened interactions by studying the spin and charge excitations of the system in both cases. Finally, we study the effect of electron correlations in the double quantum wire experiment [Steinberg et al., Phys. Rev. B 77, 113307 (2006)], by introducing an accurate model for the screening in the experiment and explicitly including the finite length of the system in our simulations. We find that decreasing the electron density drives the system from a liquid to a state with quite strong 4 k_F correlations. This crossover takes place around $20 μm^{-1}$, the density where the electron localization occurs in the experiment. The charge and spin velocities are also in remarkable agreement with the experimental findings in the proximity of the crossover. We argue that correlation effects play an important role at the onset of the localization transition.

Route to chaos in a branching model of neural network dynamics

description: Simplified models are a necessary steppingstone for understanding collective neural network dynamics, in particular the transitions between different kinds of behavior, whose universality can be captured by such models, without prejudice. One such model, the cortical branching model (CBM), has previously been used to characterize part of the universal behavior of neural network dynamics and also led to the discovery of a second, chaotic transition which has not yet been fully characterized. Here, we study the properties of this chaotic transition, that occurs in the mean-field approximation to the $k_{\sf in}=1$ CBM by focusing on the constraints the model imposes on initial conditions, parameters, and the imprint thereof on the Lyapunov spectrum. Although the model seems similar to the Hénon map, we find that the Hénon map cannot be recovered using orthogonal transformations to decouple the dynamics. Fundamental differences between the two, namely that the CBM is defined on a compact space and features a non-constant Jacobian, indicate that the CBM maps, more generally, represent a class of generalized Hénon maps which has yet to be fully understood.

description: In this work, we show that the quantum compass model on an square lattice can be mapped to a fermionic model with local density interaction. We introduce a mean-field approximation where the most important fluctuations, those perpendicular to the ordering direction, are taken into account exactly. It is found that the quantum phase transition point at $J_x=J_z$ marks a first order phase transition. We also show that the mean field result is robust against the remaining fluctuation corrections up to the second order.

description: In lattice calculations, the approach to the continuum limit is hindered by the severe freezing of the topological charge, which prevents ergodic sampling in configuration space. In order to significantly reduce the autocorrelation time of the topological charge, we develop a density of states approach with a smooth constraint and use it to study SU(3) pure Yang Mills gauge theory near the continuum limit. Our algorithm relies on simulated tempering across a range of couplings, which guarantees the decorrelation of the topological charge and ergodic sampling of topological sectors. Particular emphasis is placed on testing the accuracy, efficiency and scaling properties of the method. In their most conservative interpretation, our results provide firm evidence of a sizeable reduction of the exponent z related to the growth of the autocorrelation time as a function of the inverse lattice spacing.

description: We study finite size effects in the variance of the displacement of a tagged particle in the stationary state of the Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (ASEP) on a ring of size $L$. The process involves hard core particles undergoing stochastic driven dynamics on a lattice. The variance of the displacement of the tagged particle, averaged with respect to an initial stationary ensemble and stochastic evolution, grows linearly with time at both small and very large times. We find that at intermediate times, it shows oscillations with a well defined size-dependent period. These oscillations arise from sliding density fluctuations (SDF) in the stationary state with respect to the drift of the tagged particle, the density fluctuations being transported through the system by kinematic waves. In the general context of driven diffusive systems, both the Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) and the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) fixed points are unstable with respect to the SDF fixed point, a flow towards which is generated on adding a gradient term to the EW and the KPZ time-evolution equation. We also study tagged particle correlations for a fixed initial configuration, drawn from the stationary ensemble, following earlier work by van Beijeren. We find that the time dependence of this correlation is determined by the dissipation of the density fluctuations. We show that an exactly solvable linearized model captures the essential qualitative features seen in the finite size effects of the tagged particle correlations in the ASEP. Moreover, this linearized model also provides an exact coarse-grained description of two other microscopic models.

description: This research study examined the relationships between acculturation, acculturative attitudes, acculturative stress, and psychological androgyny among first and second generation, (or Indian born and Canadian born), Sikh male and female adolescents in grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. A total of 114 subjects were administered the Acculturative Attitudes Survey, the Cawte Acculturative Stress Scale, and the Bern Sex Role Inventory. A one way ANOVA indicated that second generation Sikh adolescents had a significantly higher acculturative stress than the first generation Sikh adolescents . No significant gender differences in the level of acculturative stress were found for either the first or the second generation Sikh male and female adolescents. Marginalization was found to have a significant positive relationship with acculturative stress for all Sikh adolescents combined. Additionally, masculinity was found to have a significant inverse relationship with acculturative stress for second generation Sikh adolescents in addition to the positive correlation of marginalization. It was also found that Integration has a significant positive relationship with acculturative stress for the first generation Sikh female adolescents. The results of the regression analyses suggest that Integration and Marginalization are the best indicator of acculturative stress for Sikh adolescents. However, masculinity and Marginalization were found to be the best predictors of acculturative stress for second generation Sikh adolescents. The present study also set out to examine if Sikh adolescents have any significant difference in their level of acculturative stress, acculturative attitudes with respect to their conceptualizations of themselves as masculine, feminine, androgynous or undifferentiated based on the Bern Sex Role Inventory. Sikh male and female adolescents classified as feminine have a significantly higher level of acculturative stress than any of the other groups on the Bern Sex Role Inventory. The results also indicate significant relationships among masculinity, femininity, and acculturative attitudes. Masculinity was found to have a significant inverse relationship with assimilation for first generation Sikh male adolescents have and a significant inverse relationship with Marginalization for second generation Sikh male adolescents. Femininity was found to have a significant positive relationship with Separation for all Sikh male adolescents. No such relationships were found for the Sikh female adolescents.

description: In the su(2|2) spin chain motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence, a novel symmetry extending the superalgebra su(2|2) into u(2|2) was found. We pursue the origin of this symmetry in the exceptional superalgebra d(2,1;epsilon), which recovers su(2|2) when the parameter epsilon is taken to zero. Especially, we rederive the Yangian symmetries of the AdS/CFT spin chain using the exceptional superalgebra and find that the epsilon-correction corresponds to the novel symmetry. Also, we reproduce the non-canonical classical r-matrix of the AdS/CFT spin chain expressed with this symmetry from the canonical one of the exceptional algebra.

description: Although several studies have pointed to an important Treg cell role inchronic hepatitis C immunopathogenesis, the question which cell types are targeted in particular has not been addressed yet. Based on the hypothesis that Treg cells are related to immunosuppression and the development of chronicity in HCV infection we evaluated the effect Treg cells have on particular lymphocyte subpopulations in HCV infected patients. In particular, there is profound failure to generate high numbers of mature effector CD8+ T cells in chronic HCV, thus we hypothesized that inhibition of proliferation and associated maturation of CD8+ T cells might be most significantly affected. In parallel we attempted to evaluate a possible immune regulatory role of B lymphocytes in chronic hepatitis C patients
Student self-concept, anxiety, teacher perception, and the referral process in elementary school counselling
Creators: name: MacRae, Alister
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The research problem in this study was to discover whether or not certain students were being overlooked in the counselling referral process as it functioned in an urban elementary school. The correlations between two self—concept measures, two anxiety measures, and teacher perception of students need for counselling were examined. A comparison was made between students perceived as needing counselling and students actually receiving counselling. The study also involved an examination of the male to female ratio with regard to teacher perception of student need for counselling. Two measures of self—concept and two measures of anxiety were administered to 35 intermediate students. The teachers in the five involved classrooms were asked to rate all of their students as to whether or not they needed counselling. Results indicated that there appear to be students who are being overlooked in the present counselling referral process which is based on teacher perception of student need. A negative correlation was found to exist between self—concept and anxiety measures. Male students were disproportionately perceived, in each of the five classes, as being in need of counselling.

description: I have cried and know it is time to let the bitterness and resentment go. I have survived and will continue to grow from here. I sent the hurt away with the smoke of sweetgrass. It is dismissed to go where it will. It will no longer stay inside me to grow and fester. Now I can go to a brighter tomorrow. (Rosa Bell, cited in Jaine, 1993, p. 15) I have had many experiences and I guess I carry my own burden of pain. But I have to give thanks to the Elders who spent the time, who gave me the love and support I needed to heal, and who taught me that patience was the first thing I needed to overcome the suffering that I was going through. Our Elders have deep wells of patience and it is this patience that can help take you through the excruciatingly slow steps towards recovery. There are no shortcuts to healing. There are no easy answers. We have to do the best that one can, either in the Indian tradition or in the Christian tradition. (Harold Cardinal, cited in Jaine, 1993, pp. 23-24).

In an application of QSM to atoms, the new QSM and its corresponding quantum similarity index (QSI) are evaluated throughout the periodic table, using the atomic electron densities and shape functions calculated in the Hartree-Fock approximation. The periodicity of Mendeleev's table is regained for the first time through the evaluation of a QSM. Evaluation of the information theory based QSI demonstrates, however, that the patterns of periodicity are lost due to the renormalization of the QSM, yielding chemically less appealing results for the QSI. A comparison of the information content of a given atom on top of a group with the information content of the elements in the subsequent rows reveals another periodicity pattern. Relativistic effects on the electronic density functions of atoms are investigated. Their importance is quantified in a QSI study by comparing for each atom, the density functions evaluated in the Hartree-Fock and Dirac-Fock approximations. The smooth decreasing of the relevant QSI along the periodic table illustrates in a quantitative way the increase of relativistic corrections with the nuclear charge.

description: Temperature and pressure are essential parameters in the synthesis, evaluation, and application of functional materials. This study proposes the addition of a heating function to a high-pressure diamond anvil cell (DAC) with in-situ measurement probes. The proposed DAC allows for simultaneous control of temperature and pressure within the sample space and can be used to synthesize functional materials under extreme conditions. The various components, namely the heater, thermometer, and measurement probes, were fabricated with a boron-doped diamond epitaxial film and could be used repeatedly. The developed DAC was used to successfully conduct the high-pressure annealing of La(O,F)BiS$_{2}$ single crystal and the high-pressure synthesis of EuFBiS$_{2}$ superconductors. The proposed technique shows promise for further exploration of superconductors to broaden the research field.

description: We develop a new method to reconstruct the cosmic density field from the distribution of dark matter haloes above a certain mass threshold. Our motivation is that well-defined samples of galaxy groups/clusters, which can be used to represent the dark halo population, can now be selected from large redshift surveys of galaxies, and our ultimate goal is to use such data to reconstruct the cosmic density field in the local universe. Our reconstruction method starts with a sample of dark matter haloes above a given mass threshold. Each volume element in space is assigned to the domain of the nearest halo according to a distance measure that is scaled by the virial radius of the halo. The distribution of the mass in and around dark matter haloes of a given mass is modelled using the cross-correlation function between dark matter haloes and the mass distribution within their domains. We use N-body cosmological simulations to show that the density profiles required in our reconstruction scheme can be determined reliably from large cosmological simulations, and that our method can reconstruct the density field accurately using haloes with masses down to $\sim 10^{12}\msun$ (above which samples of galaxy groups can be constructed from current large redshift surveys of galaxies). Working in redshift space, we demonstrate that the redshift distortions due to the peculiar velocities of haloes can be corrected in an iterative way. We also describe some applications of our method.

description: This deliverable aims to discuss and present reflections from the MCE project about the state of policy for Micro-credentials, based on existing published documentation and the initial deliverables of the project. Specifically, it is based on reports covering (i) a meta-research on the learner perspective on micro-credential formats and learning services for continuing education and professional development; (ii) learner preferences and expectations regarding micro-credentials; (iii) institutional approaches to micro-credentials; and (iv) existing microcredential pilots. This deliverable is guided by the outputs of the MCE project, and examines, particularly, the EU Council Recommendations for the European approach to microcredentials for lifelong learning and employability (Council Recommendation of 16 June 2022 on a European Approach to Micro-Credentials for Lifelong Learning and Employability, 2022), as well as the relevant actions outlined in the European Skills Agenda. This position paper will also reflect on the challenges that may arise in implementing the European principles for designing and issuing micro-credentials (which are part of the Council’s recommendation), both at a national and European level. In the report, we analyse each principle in detail and will provide a series of recommendations to inform leaders of Higher Education (HE) institutions and national and European policymakers on micro-credentials. Furthermore it dwells on the impact of micro-credentials within HE. It will not address challenges and recommendations for further education or the labour market as producers of micro-credentials, although some references will inevitably be relevant for policymakers in these sectors.

description: Ο κύριος σκοπός της εργασίας είναι η έρευνα, η μελέτη και η ερμηνεία του γλωσσοεκπαιδευτικού δημοτικισμού, με τον τρόπο που εμφανίζονται στην Πόλη, στα τέλη του 19ου και στις αρχές του 20ου αιώνα. Το θέμα διερευνάται με επίκεντρο την εφημερίδα, "Ο Ταχυδρόμος" και τη συζήτηση μέσα από τις στήλες της, μέσα από τη δημοσίευση του διηγήματος της Αλέξανδρος Παπαδοπούλου που αποτέλεσε την αφορμή των δημοσιευμάτων του Φ. Φωτιάδη με τον τίτλο "Το Γλωσσικόν Ζήτημα και η εκπαιδευτική μας αναγέννησις". Ακολουθούν τα 73 κείμενα της εφημερίδας "Ο Ταχυδρόμος" που πραγματεύονται "τον γλωσσοεκπαιδευτικό δημοτικισμό" και σχολιάζονται στο κοινωνικό-οικονομικό-πολιτικό πλαίσιο. Η μέθοδος που ακολουθήθηκε ως προς το πρώτο επίπεδο της, το συστημικό-περιγραφικό είναι η ιστορική-ερμηνευτική και σε σημεία που κρίθηκε απαραίτητο έγινε η χρήση της ερμηνευτικής. Εν κατακλείδι, "Ο Ταχυδρόμος", ως μοναδική εφημερίδα της εποχής, αποτελεί το εργαστήρι όπου θα προσφύγει κάθε μελετητής που θέλει να έχει συνοπτική εικόνα του γλωσσικού ζητήματος στην Κων/πολη με όλους τους παράγοντες που αποτελούν : την Α. Παπαδοπούλου, του Φ. Φωτιάδη και τη ιντελιγκέντσια της εποχής
description: The subject of the thesis is the analysis of the demotiki language and its instruction in Constantinple at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. The main concern was the discussion which appeared in the newspaper Tahydromos after the publication of a series of articles written by dr. Fotis Fotiadis intitled "Issues on Language and Enlightnment in our Education" and to its monograph published under the same title in this context, the thesis analyzed 73 text on the demotiki language and it's education. The methodology used was a systematic description, historical interpretation and when necessary interpretation was used. The main ideas of the articles published in Taxydromos newspaper were described in chronological order and they were commented in the socioeconomic political and cultural context of the time. As a conclusion it could be said that Taxydromos newspaper, which was the most important newspaper of its time, is a mine of source for those who would like to be research on the language matter in Constantinople and also a laboratory where one would find the greek intellectuals of Constantinople and Greece specialized in the demotiki and kathareuousa languages, as A. Papadopoulou and Fotis Fotiadis

description: Η διατριβή αυτή επιχειρεί μία επανεξέταση της αστυνομικής τριλογίας του 19ου αιώνα, του Edgar Allan Poe, καθώς και των αντι-αστυνομικών ιστοριών του 20ου αιώνα, του Jorge Luis Borges, μέσα από το πρίσμα της λογικής των συνόλων και των μαγμάτων, όπως αυτή προσδιορίζεται από το φιλόσοφο Κορνήλιο Καστοριάδη. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, βασισμένη στην Καστοριαδική κριτική του δυτικού, φιλοσοφικού και επιστημονικού μοντερνισμού, η διατριβή διερευνά την οντολογική βαρύτητα της απόπειρας του ανθρώπου-ερευνητή να εξηγήσει ορθολογικά τον κόσμο κατηγοριοποιώντας τον, με βάση τη λογική των συνόλων (αρχή της ταυτότητας, της μη-αντίφασης, του αποκλειόμενου τρίτου, κτλ), καθώς και την απορία που γεννάται από την αδυναμία του ερευνητή να ταξινομήσει πτυχές του είναι που διέπονται από μία μη-αναλυόμενη, μαγματική λογική. Μέσα από μια διεπιστημονική ανάγνωση, χαρτογραφείται ο τρόπος που τα κείμενα των E. A. Poe και J. L. Borges αντικατοπτρίζουν τα ερωτήματα της ανθρώπινης σκέψης από το Διαφωτισμό μέχρι σήμερα, καταδεικνύοντας την αναγκαιότητα γεφύρωσης του χάσματος ανάμεσα στη φιλοσοφία και την επιστήμη
description: My dissertation attempts a re-reading of the detective tale, in its prototypical, post-Romantic form, as created by Edgar Allan Poe in the 1840s, as well as in its metaphysical, postmodern restaging in Jorge Luis BorgesΆs work, in the 1940s, through the prism of the logic of ensembles and magmas, as defined by the philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis. More specifically, drawing on CastoriadisΆs twentieth-century critical reassessment of the philosophical and scientific delineations of Western modernity, my thesis investigates the ontological weight of the reasonerΆs attempt to rationally explain the world, by turning its components into elements of a set (that is, by identifying the properties that define a class, through the principles of identity, of non-contradiction, of the excluded term, etc), as well as the aporia triggered by the failure of the decoder to classify aspects of being governed by a non-determinable, magmatic logic. Through an interdisciplinary reading, I undertake a re-location of the aforementioned tales within the ongoing rupture brought about by the rationalization of thought, in order to demonstrate that these detective stories of the past could help us see that now, more than ever, we need to bridge the gap between science and philosophy, in an attempt to elucidate our need for explanation
