description: While there are other root causes to the deficit of reading in Black boys, there is a paucity of research on masculinity and the influence it may carry to reading engagement. This study examines the influence of masculinity as a form of instructional bias on reading engagement via on-task learning in Black boys enrolled in (K-5th) urban schools. It seeks to determine the extent to which introspection of biased instructional practices is reflected in culturally responsive pedagogy. It further reviews the impact of peer observation and adult collaboration in a unique context of schooling. While Blackness has always worked to signify its own identity in a critical and racist society, it has also taken own its identity in the social development of Black boys in school settings. I argue that the perceptions, interpretations, values, and ideologies of masculinity plays a role in how Black boys interact with comprehensive texts and other forms of literacy, due to representation of masculinity in reading curricular. Discovering direct and indirect influences of instructional bias on reading engagement via interviews, surveys, and observations of teachers in urban elementary schools can add to the health and well-being to the students they serve.
Being tough, staying good, and playing inside the box : an ethnographic case study of one boy's multimodal textmaking
Creators: name: Collier, Diane R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This study of multimodal textmaking is focused on how resources from home and from school are used by one child in the middle years of elementary school. Kyle is the primary participant in this ethnographic case study, which spanned two school years. Analysis focused on how texts change, how resources and identities are constructed and reconstructed, and which texts and textmaking practices are valued and which are not. In response to the need to understand more fully how hybrid or ‘relocalized’ (Pennycook, 2010) texts are made, this study undertook an examination of a wide range of textmaking processes. Kyle’s use of the cultural resources of professional wrestling, amongst others, to make narrative and performative hybrid texts, is traced. His ‘rescripting’ of everyday experiences, in playful and parodic ways, is explored. Kyle’s writing within a mandated writing process, performance-based assessment is also examined and a sociocultural understanding of creativity is proposed. Insight into permeability of home and school boundaries is offered. An expanded definition of text to include multimodal forms suggests that all texts are multimodal, but also that many children are excluded from successful textmaking at school because the modes, forms, and resources with which they are familiar or have had success, are not included amongst the valued texts at school (Luke, 1997; Marsh, 2006; Nixon & Comber, 2006). Powerful practices and interpersonal influences are made visible in a way that is not possible when only polished or final versions of texts are considered. The potentials and possibilities offered by play and improvisation within textmaking, both in and out of school, are emphasized.
Representations of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra I: invariants and miraculous cancellations

description: We study finite-dimensional representations of the Kauffman skein algebra of a surface S. In particular, we construct invariants of such irreducible representations when the underlying parameter q is a root of unity. The main one of these invariants is a point in the character variety consisting of group homomorphisms from the fundamental group of S to SL_2(C), or in a twisted version of this character variety. The proof relies on certain miraculous cancellations that occur for the quantum trace homomorphism constructed by the authors. These miraculous cancellations also play a fundamental role in subsequent work of the authors, where novel examples of representations of the skein algebra are constructed.
description: Version 3: Improvements in the exposition following referee reports. This version also fixes a small gap in the proof of the miraculous cancellations of Theorems 4 and 21, originally caused by an incorrect interpretation of the reference [Bu] used to create a shortcut in the computations; the results are unchanged, and the modifications to the proof very minimal

description: Automation of farm activities can transform agricultural domain from being manual and static to intelligent and dynamic leading to higher production with lesser human supervision. This paper proposes an automated irrigation system which monitors and maintains the desired soil moisture content via automatic watering. Microcontroller ATMEGA328P on arduino uno platform is used to implement the control unit. The setup uses soil moisture sensors which measure the exact moisture level in soil. This value enables the system to use appropriate quantity of water which avoids over/under irrigation. IOT is used to keep the farmers updated about the status of sprinklers. Information from the sensors is regularly updated on a webpage using GSM-GPRS SIM900A modem through which a farmer can check whether the water sprinklers are ON/OFF at any given time. Also, the sensor readings are transmitted to a Thing speak channel to generate graphs for analysis.
Embracing diversity : optimizing distributed storage systems for diverse deployment environments
Creators: name: Al-Kiswany, Samer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Distributed storage system middleware acts as a bridge between the upper layer applications, and the lower layer storage resources available in the deployment platform. Storage systems are expected to efficiently support the applications’ workloads while reducing the cost of the storage platform. In this context, two factors increase the complexity of the design of storage systems: First, the applications’ workloads are diverse among number of axes: read/write access patterns, data compressibility, and security requirements to mention only a few. Second, storage system should provide high performance within a certain dollar budget. This dissertation addresses two interrelated issues in this design space. First, can the computational power of the commodity massively multicore devices be exploited to accelerate storage system operations without increasing the platform cost? Second, is it possible to build a storage system that can support a diverse set of applications yet can be optimized for each one of them? This work provides evidence that, for some system designs and workloads, significant performance gains are brought by exploiting massively multicore devices and by optimizing the storage system for a specific application. Further, my work demonstrates that these gains are possible while still supporting the POSIX API and without requiring changes to the application. Finally, while these two issues can be addressed independently, a system that includes solutions to both of them enables significant synergies.

description: We derive a factorization formula for the double Drell-Yan cross section in terms of double parton distribution functions (dPDFs). Diparton flavor, spin and color correlations and parton-exchange interference terms contribute, even for unpolarized beams. Soft radiation effects are nontrivial for the color correlation and interference contributions, and are described by non-perturbative soft functions. We provide a field-theoretic definition of the quark dPDFs and study some of their basic properties, including discrete symmetries and their interpretation in a non-relativistic quark model. We calculate the renormalization group evolution of the quark dPDFs and of the soft functions. The evolution receives contributions from both ultraviolet and rapidity divergences. We find that color correlation and interference effects are Sudakov suppressed, greatly reducing the number of dPDFs needed to describe double parton scattering at high energy experiments.

Flavoured quantum Boltzmann equations from cQPA

description: We develop a Boltzmann-type quantum transport theory for interacting fermion and scalar fields including both flavour and particle-antiparticle mixing. Our formalism is based on the coherent quasiparticle approximation (cQPA) for the 2-point correlation functions, whose extended phase-space structure contains new spectral shells for flavour- and particle-antiparticle coherence. We derive explicit cQPA propagators and Feynman rules for the transport theory. In particular the nontrivial Wightman functions can be written as composite operators $\sim {\cal A} F {\cal A}$, which generalize the usual Kadanoff-Baym ansatz. Our numerical results show that particle-antiparticle coherence can strongly influence CP-violating flavour mixing even for relatively slowly-varying backgrounds. Thus, unlike recently suggested, these correlations cannot be neglected when studying asymmetry generation due to time-varying mass transition, for example in electroweak-type baryogenesis models. Finally, we show that the cQPA coherence solutions are directly related to squeezed states in the more familiar operator formalism.

description: COSYNA stands for 'Coastal Observing System for Northern and Arctic Seas'. The principal goal of the COSYNA-Project is the construction of a long-term observatory for the German part of the NorthSea. The main task of the COSYNA data management is the integration of different data sources in order to provide a web based visualisation and access to observational as well as forecast data. The usage of standards like OGC standards or community standards like NetCDF, OPeNDAP or ncWMS is essential for the data management in COSYNA. The data are stored in an Oracle database for time series-like data and as NetCDF files for data which are acquired simultaneously at different locations. The time series-like data can be freely accessed using OGC SOS (Sensor Observation Service) whereas NetCDF files are available via OPeNDAP. This concept of Open Data within COSYNA is planned for near real time data without quality control.

description: Using high-resolution microwave sky maps made by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, we for the first time present strong evidence for motions of galaxy clusters and groups via microwave background temperature distortions due to the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. Galaxy clusters are identified by their constituent luminous galaxies observed by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. We measure the mean pairwise momentum of clusters, with a probability of the signal being due to random errors of 0.002, and the signal is consistent with the growth of cosmic structure in the standard model of cosmology.

description: Die bislang vorliegenden Erkenntnisse zum Komplex des Forschungsprojektes: "Konservierung von Denkmäler aus Blei, Zink und Zinn" lassen in mehrfacher Hinsicht - materialinhärent, konservierungstechnisch, aber auch bezüglich seiner kunsthistorischen Wertschätzung - als eigentliches "Sorgenkind" Zinkgussobjekte erscheinen: Die schon früh, bereits im späteren 19. Jahrhundert einsetzende, zunächst vor allem materialästhetisch argumentierende Ablehnung von Bildwerken aus Zinnguss wurde befördert durch den Einsatz des Materials bei der Produktion von Massengütern, die dem Verdikt "Kitsch" anheimfielen. Im Ergebnis führte dies zu einem eklatanten Mangel an (kunst-)historischem Wissen über die einschlägigen Gießereien und die die Modelle liefernden Bildhauer, die Auftraggeber und Käufer, Vertriebsstrukturen usw. Selbst die Ermittlung von noch existierenden Denkmälern aus Zink bereitet Schwierigkeiten. Diese Feststellung gilt für München in ungleich stärkerem Maße als für Berlin, wo die Zinkguss-Forschung in den letzten Jahren doch deutlich fortgeschritten ist. Aus diesem Grund lag es nahe, einen ersten Schwerpunkt auf die Erforschung der Münchner Zinkgießereien und ihre Produktion zu legen. Gewissermaßen en passant - es gab kaum eine Gießerei, die ausschließlich ein Material verarbeitete - wird auch der Einsatz von Hartblei untersucht Im Rahmen des laufenden Projektes waren dabei die vorrangigsten Erkenntnisziele die Frage nach dem jeweiligen technologischen Kenntnisstand und die Suche nach exakten "Rezepturen", Anleitungen zur Oberflächenbehandlung, Farbfassung etc. Gerade aber in diesen Punkten muss die Erwartung deutlich gedämpft werden: Nicht zuletzt in der Struktur der Archive bzw. besser: der Entstehung von "Akten" liegt die Ursache dafür, dass primär interessierende Firmenunterlagen mit womöglich "lehrbuchartigen" Anweisungen, aber auch Musterbücher, Verkaufskataloge, Verträge usw. nur äußerst selten gebündelt erhalten blieben. Zur Erstellung dieser Dokumentation musste daher überwiegend entweder auf gedruckte Quellen (z. B. Adressbücher, Kataloge oder Berichte von Gewerbe- und Weltausstellungen usw.) oder auf spezielle Bauakten zurückgegriffen werden. Der Beitrag zur engeren Fragestellung, i. e. konkrete Konservierungsfragen zu klären, ist daher überwiegend ein indirekter: Erweitertes Wissen um Produzenten und Bildwerke wirkt (im Idealfall) sensibilisierend und "fürsorgend". (Vorbemerkung des Aufsatzes) Diese Arbeit wurde mit Mitteln der Deutschen Bundesstiftung Umwelt im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes "Konservierung von Denkmälern aus Blei, Zink und Zinn" (AZ 01120) gefördert.

description: In the context of GUT baryogenesis models, a well-known theorem asserts that CPT conservation and the unitarity of S-matrix require that the lowest order contribution that leads to the generation of a non-zero net CP-violation via the decay of a heavy particle must be to $\mathcal{O}({α_\slashed{B}}^3)$, where $α_\slashed{B}$ is a baryon number (B) violating coupling. We revisit this theorem (which holds for lepton number (L) violation, and hence for leptogenesis as well) and examine its implications for models where the particle content allows the heavy particle to also decay via modes which conserve B (or L) in addition to modes which do not. We systematically expand the S-matrix order by order in B\slash L-violating couplings, and show, in such cases, that the net CP-violation is non-zero even to $\mathcal{O}({α_\slashed{B}}^2)$, without actually contradicting the theorem. By replacing a B/L violating coupling (usually constrained to be small) by a relatively unconstrained B/L conserving one, our result may allow for sufficient CP violation in models where it may otherwise have been difficult to generate the observed baryon asymmetry. As an explicit application of this result, we construct a model in low-scale leptogenesis.

description: With the ignition of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, End of November 2009, the largest physics experiment on earth will start to generate a stream of data, accumulating to about 15 Petabytes per year. Following a Tier model, this data will be replicated to various places around the globe. dCache is the storage system in charge of managing the largest share of this data outside CERN. Its a data management technology designed for storing, retrieving, and managing huge amounts of data, distributed among a large number of heterogeneous server nodes, under a single virtual file system. The largest dCache installations are storing more than three Petabytes of data in a single instance on disk and on tape and they are expected to grow into the tenth Petabytes area by 2012. While dCache has been designed to fit the needs of High Energy Physics experiments, new challenges are waiting for large-scale storage solutions. Experiments in astronomy and in the area of extreme light sources will increase the required data rates and storage capacities by at least a factor of 10 and similarly important, they will force community storage systems to become compliant with industry standards. This publication will briefly describe how dCache fulfils the needs of LHC storage grid and is preparing itself for the upcoming challenges in other scientific disciplines.

description: The spread of ideas across a social network can be studied using complex contagion models, in which agents are activated by contact with multiple activated neighbors. The investigation of complex contagions can provide crucial insights into social influence and behavior-adoption cascades on networks. In this paper, we introduce a model of a multi-stage complex contagion on networks. Agents at different stages --- which could, for example, represent differing levels of support for a social movement or differing levels of commitment to a certain product or idea --- exert different amounts of influence on their neighbors. We demonstrate that the presence of even one additional stage introduces novel dynamical behavior, including interplay between multiple cascades, that cannot occur in single-stage contagion models. We find that cascades --- and hence collective action --- can be driven not only by high-stage influencers but also by low-stage influencers.

description: There exist experiments indicating that at certain conditions, such as an appropriate substrate, a gap of the order of 10 meV can be opened at the Dirac points of a quasiparticle spectrum of graphene. We demonstrate that the opening of such a gap can result in the appearance of a fingerprint bump of the Seebeck signal when the chemical potential approaches the gap edge. The magnitude of the bump can be up to one order higher than the already large value of the thermopower occurring in graphene. Such a giant effect, accompanied by the nonmonotonous dependence on the chemical potential, is related to the emergence of a new channel of quasiparticle scattering from impurities with the relaxation time strongly dependent on the energy. We analyze the behavior of conductivity and thermopower in such a system, accounting for quasiparticle scattering from impurities with the model potential in a self-consistent scheme. Reproducing the existing results for the case of gapless graphene, we demonstrate a failure of the simple Mott formula in the case under consideration.

Daily dynamics of stress in Canadian paramedics and their spouses
Creators: name: King, David Brian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Due to the unique demands of their job, paramedics have been identified as high risk for post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma-related symptoms (Regehr, Goldberg, & Hughes, 2002). There is additional qualitative evidence that stress experienced by paramedics at work transmits to the home setting and has a negative impact on spouses (Regehr, 2005). Using intensive longitudinal methods, the current line of research examined the daily interplay between home and work environments in a sample of 87 paramedics and their cohabitating spouses. Repeated measures were collected across home and work settings for a period of four consecutive work days. It was generally expected that stress and burnout experienced by paramedics in the work setting would predict subsequent outcomes in the home setting for both paramedics and their spouses. Hypotheses were tested using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM; Bryk & Raudenbush, 1992), with daily measures nested within couples over time. Study 1 first identifies paramedics as experiencing high levels of post-traumatic stress and depressive symptoms. Daily stress transmission to the home setting was also supported, whereby work stress, negative affect, and burnout predicted subsequent outcomes at home for both partners. Study 2 examined the additional impact on dyadic functioning (as moderated by neuroticism), demonstrating significant predictive value of paramedics' burnout in subsequent marital tension. Lastly, Study 3 provides evidence for an impact of work stress and burnout on coping responses in the home setting. Higher levels of extramarital stress predicted increased engagement in rumination and withdrawal, which in turn contributed to greater marital tension. Together, these findings help to explain the intricacies of stress transmission and contagion in couples dealing with high levels of stress. Implications for paramedics specifically and married couples more generally are discussed.

description: The Implicit Association Test (IAT) aims to measure participants' automatic evaluation of an attitude object and is useful especially for the measurement of attitudes related to socially sensitive subjects, e.g. doping in sports. Several studies indicate that IAT scores can be faked on instruction. But fully or semi-instructed research scenarios might not properly reflect what happens in more realistic situations, when participants secretly decide to try faking the test. The present study is the first to investigate IAT faking when there is only an implicit incentive to do so. Sixty-five athletes (22.83 years +/- 2.45; 25 women) were randomly assigned to an incentive-to-fake condition or a control condition. Participants in the incentive-to-fake condition were manipulated to believe that athletes with lenient doping attitudes would be referred to a tedious 45-minute anti-doping program. Attitudes were measured with the pictorial doping brief IAT (BIAT) and with the Performance Enhancement Attitude Scale (PEAS). A one-way MANOVA revealed significant differences between conditions after the manipulation in PEAS scores, but not in the doping BIAT. In the light of our hypothesis this suggests that participants successfully faked an exceedingly negative attitude to doping when completing the PEAS, but were unsuccessful in doing so on the reaction time-based test. This study assessed BIAT faking in a setting that aimed to resemble a situation in which participants want to hide their attempts to cheat. The two measures of attitude were differentially affected by the implicit incentive. Our findings provide evidence that the pictorial doping BIAT is relatively robust against spontaneous and naive faking attempts. (B) IATs might be less prone to faking than implied by previous studies.

CHALLENGES AMONG DALIT LEADERSHIP IN PRESENT POLITICS OF INDIA: A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS (A CASE STUDY OF AGRA CITY)
Creators: name: Nandini* & Prof. Lajwant Singh**
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: The word ‘Politics’ is derived from the Greek word ‘Polis’ which means City and State. Politics is a collective activity. Politics is situated in all contexts where there is a power structure and a power struggle to obtain or maintain leadership. In the Indian context, a major part of politics is known as Dalit Politics. Dalit leaders have played a significant role in the lives of lower caste people. They have created a meaningful political identity for Dalits and inspired them in the collective movement for social change. The work of integrating Dalits into the mainstream was done by Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar. He demanded a separate representation for Dalits, which was a strong demand for the political participation of Dalits. On September 24, 1932, an agreement was signed between Dr Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi which is known as Poona Pact. In this agreement, the separate electorate for the Dalit class was abolished and the place of the untouchables in the Legislative Assembly was reserved as the Hindu class. The Puna pact increased the political, ideological, cultural and religious degradation of Dalits which destroyed the real and independent leadership of Dalits to oppose the Brahmanical social system. Kanshi Ram is the one of the Dalit leaders who creating a consciousness among the Dalit community members as a collectivity. The collectivity among the Dalit group showed the meaningfulness of their identity. This seems to be possible due to the active engagement of leaders representing the identity of the followers and directing them to the living standard filled with pride. It was observed that Dalits identify with their leader like Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar and Kanshi Ram as role models who started a creative Dalit movement and consciousness, leading to the hope for social change and make our own identity. Due to the lack of effective leadership, Dalit politics currently faces many challenges, including untouchability, social discrimination and economic disparities. The main objective of this research paper is to explores the challenges faced by Dalit leadership in the present politics in India.

Revisiting the production of charmonium plus a light meson at PANDA

description: In this work, we calculate the total cross sections and the center-of-mass frame angular distributions of the charmonium production plus a light meson by the low energy $p\bar{p}$ interaction. The results of $p\bar{p}\to π^0 Ψ$ with and without form factor (FF) indicate that the FF contribution in the calculation cannot be ignored. The obtained cross section of $p\bar{p}\to π^0 J/ψ$ with FF can fit the E760 data well. We also predict the total cross sections and the center-of-mass frame angular distributions of $p\bar{p}\to ωΨ$, which show that these physical quantities are dependent on Pauli ($g_ω$) and Dirac ($κ_ω$) coupling constants of the $ppω$ interaction. Thus, $p\bar{p}\to ωΨ$ can be as the ideal channel to test the different theoretical values of $g_ω$ and $κ_ω$. Applying the formulae of $p\bar{p}\to π^0 Ψ$ and $p\bar{p}\to ωΨ$, we predict the total cross sections of the $p\bar{p}\to ηΨ$ and $p\bar{p}\to ρΨ$ reactions. Our results show a common behavior of the charmonium production with a light meson by the $p\bar{p}$ interaction, where the total cross section of the $η_c$ production is the largest one among all discussed processes. The above observations can be directly tested at the forthcoming $\bar{P}$ANDA experiment.

Experiences of responsibility and professionalism in an educational accountability context
Creators: name: MacNeil, Kimberley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This research project sought to explore how individuals working within a particular accountability context perceived their roles and responsibilities related to their participation in an educational change initiative. Accountability policies are often invoked in order to achieve desired improvements across educational systems, but managerial accountability in particular too often fails to effect the change it is intended to promote. Professional accountability has been called for in response to the shortcomings of managerial accountability. However, solely relying on professional accountability may inadequately address the complexities of change, and has led some to call for a combination of managerial and professional accountability. Secondary analysis of interview data from a larger, existing, longitudinal case study was employed to investigate educators’ experiences of accountability in educational change. In the larger project, a case study design was used to examine how members of a professional learning community (PLC) in one urban, inclusive, and multicultural school district in British Columbia made changes to practice in support of students’ learning through reading (LTR). In a secondary analysis of interviews from that study, conducted with 40 participants ranging from classroom teachers, teacher consultants, school- and district- level administrators regarding their experiences related to the change initiative, the present study addressed the following two research questions. From stakeholders’ perspectives: (1) How was professional responsibility evidenced within a professional learning community? (2) What conditions supported teachers to build from, and act upon, their sense of professional responsibility within the context of a larger accountability structure? Findings suggested that (1) participants evidenced professional responsibility in the ways they committed to continuous learning/improvement and focused on student needs; and (2) conditions supportive of professional responsibility were related to working in trusting relationships; availability of needed supports (e.g., from others, structures, resources, from different levels in the system); shared goals; and experiences of formalized accountability structures.

description: We present a simplified and generalized derivation of the flavour-coherent propagators and Feynman rules for the fermionic kinetic theory based on coherent quasiparticle approximation (cQPA). The new formulation immediately reveals the composite nature of the cQPA Wightman function as a product of two spectral functions and an effective two-point interaction vertex, which contains all quantum statistical and coherence information. We extend our previous work to the case of nonzero dispersive self-energy, which leads to a broader range of applications. By this scheme, we derive flavoured kinetic equations for local 2-point functions $S^{}_\mathbf{k}(t,t)$, which are reminiscent of the equations of motion for the density matrix. We emphasize that in our approach all the interaction terms are derived from first principles of nonequilibrium quantum field theory.

description: We consider the problem of learning a linear factor model. We propose a regularized form of principal component analysis (PCA) and demonstrate through experiments with synthetic and real data the superiority of resulting estimates to those produced by pre-existing factor analysis approaches. We also establish theoretical results that explain how our algorithm corrects the biases induced by conventional approaches. An important feature of our algorithm is that its computational requirements are similar to those of PCA, which enjoys wide use in large part due to its efficiency.
Homological perturbation theory for nonperturbative integrals

description: We use the homological perturbation lemma to produce explicit formulas computing the class in the twisted de Rham complex represented by an arbitrary polynomial. This is a non-asymptotic version of the method of Feynman diagrams. In particular, we explain that phenomena usually thought of as particular to asymptotic integrals in fact also occur exactly: integrals of the type appearing in quantum field theory can be reduced in a totally algebraic fashion to integrals over an Euler--Lagrange locus, provided this locus is understood in the scheme-theoretic sense, so that imaginary critical points and multiplicities of degenerate critical points contribute.
