description: The following appendix describes the 200 manuscripts Jacques Rosenthal offered for sale in his two-volume catalogue Bibliotheca medii aevi manuscripta (BMAM) published in 1925 and 1928. It presents data extracted from BMAM and archives I analysed in my publications investigating Rosenthal’s working methods and the criteria he used to assign a financial value to the manuscripts. Its aim is therefore not to provide detailed descriptions of the manuscripts but to gather information provided by BMAM, even though it has been since revised and could be completed by additional research, and archival sources.

description: Much work in robotics has focused on "human-in-the-loop" learning techniques that improve the efficiency of the learning process. However, these algorithms have made the strong assumption of a cooperating human supervisor that assists the robot. In reality, human observers tend to also act in an adversarial manner towards deployed robotic systems. We show that this can in fact improve the robustness of the learned models by proposing a physical framework that leverages perturbations applied by a human adversary, guiding the robot towards more robust models. In a manipulation task, we show that grasping success improves significantly when the robot trains with a human adversary as compared to training in a self-supervised manner.

The Effects of Goal Orientation and Feedback on the Notetaking Habits and Performance of College Students
Creators: Johnson, Kamauru Rasheed
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Psychology
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: Notetaking is viewed by high school and college students as a tool to help them record and organize information presented by their instructors in lecture format. Research has shown that students who take notes consistently outperform students who do not use this strategy on tests of their knowledge. Although previous studies have identified factors contributing to individual differences in notetaking, these works have largely focused on cognitive skills while neglecting to consider the role that a students' motivation may play in their notetaking habits. The current study is an extension of lecture notetaking research (Peverly et al, 2007; Peverly et al., 2010; Reddington, 2011) that applies principles of Elliot's trichotomous goal orientation theory to investigate the question of student motivation. Specifically, this dissertation's primary purpose was to determine if goal orientation and feedback affect students' notetaking habits or performance on measures of their knowledge. Hypotheses related to the established relationships between gender and notetaking and notetaking and performance were also explored. This dissertation is unique in that it is the only study to examine the effects of goal orientation on the specific strategy of notetaking through the use of an experimental design.  A sample of 231 undergraduate students participated in the two-phase experiment. In phase I, participants were randomly assigned to one of three goal orientation groups, asked to listen to a videotaped lecture and to write a detailed summary of what they had learned. In phase II, participants were randomly assigned to receive contrived feedback stating that their phase I written summary was either above or below an arbitrary performance standard. After reviewing their feedback, participants were again asked to listen to a videotaped lecture and write a detailed summary of what they had learned. Independent variables included gender, goal orientation, and feedback. Dependent variables included quantity of idea units in students' notes and quantity of idea units in students' written summaries. Results indicated that factors related to goal orientation, feedback, and gender did impact students' notetaking quantity and performance. Note quantity was predicted by gender, goal orientation, the gender x goal orientation interaction, and the feedback x goal orientation interaction. Quantity of idea units in written summary was predicted by note quantity, the gender x goal orientation interaction, and the note quantity x goal orientation interaction. Future research should continue to examine the specific impact of goal orientation and feedback on notetaking habits.

It is shown that the electromagnetic field is able not only to couple to torsion, but also, through its energy-momentum tensor, to produce torsion. Furthermore, it is shown that the coupling of the electromagnetic field with torsion preserves the local gauge invariance of Maxwell's theory.

description: The authors study smooth lines on projective planes over the algebra C of complex numbers, the algebra C^1 of double numbers, and the algebra C^0 of dual numbers. In the space RP^5, to these smooth lines there correspond families of straight lines describing point three-dimensional tangentially degenerate submanifolds X^3 of rank 2. The authors study focal properties of these submanifolds and prove that they represent examples of different types of tangentially degenerate submanifolds. Namely, the submanifold X^3, corresponding in RP^5 to a smooth line γof the projective plane C, does not have real singular points, the submanifold X^3, corresponding in RP^5 to a smooth line γof the projective plane C^1 P^2, bears two plane singular lines, and finally the submanifold X^3, corresponding in RP^5 to a smooth line γof the projective plane C^0 P^2, bears one singular line.

description: Workshop abstract Are you establishing and integrating EOSC activities within your country? Do you need more support and opportunities to swap experiences on how embark on an EOSC action plan and how to reach out effectively to research communities about EOSC services? EOSC is gathering a huge momentum, and how this new research support network is established at national level is now at a critical stage, aspects of which are ongoing at a variety of implementation levels in some member states. While activities are different in each country, they could benefit from and be supported by alignment and good practice exchange. This workshop initiated by OpenAIRE, EOSC hub, and RDA-Europe will explore, with the support of the recently funded EOSCsecretariat.eu project, two areas of implementing EOSC at national level: Establishing national action plans and working with research groups and libraries to raise awareness about EOSC. In particular the workshop will touch on how to set up national action plans, set priorities especially at governance level, how to establish coordinated commitment from key stakeholders and to develop value added support and commitments for local infrastructure within the EOSC vision. Another aspect will be that of serving local research groups and how to target specific EOSC services to them, which is a challenging part of EOSC implementation. This session will be structured in a way that will showcase regional examples of EOSC implementation and good practice. The breakout sessions will be grouped at a regional level in order to identify common threads. This workshop will also provide a perfect setting to meet and network with national counterparts and help prepare and pave the way to set up EOSC and a better understanding of how EOSC works at the national level.
Quasiparticle Levels at Large Interface Systems from Many-body Perturbation Theory: the XAF-GW method

description: We present a fully ab initio approach based on many-body perturbation theory in the GW approximation, to compute the quasiparticle levels of large interface systems without significant covalent interactions between the different components of the interface. The only assumption in our approach is that the polarizability matrix (chi) of the interface can be given by the sum of the polarizability matrices of individual components of the interface. We show analytically, using a two-state hybridized model, that this assumption is valid even in the presence of interface hybridization to form bonding and anti-bonding states, up to first order in the overlap matrix elements involved in the hybridization. We validate our approach by showing that the band structure obtained in our method is almost identical to that obtained using a regular GW calculation for bilayer black phosphorus, where interlayer hybridization is significant. Significant savings in computational time and memory are obtained by computing chi only for the smallest sub-unit cell of each component, and expanding (unfolding) the chi matrix to that in the unit cell of the interface. To treat interface hybridization, the full wavefunctions of the interface are used in computing the self-energy. We thus call the method XAF-GW (X: eXpand-chi, A: Add-chi, F: Full wavefunctions). Compared to GW-embedding type approaches in the literature, the XAF-GW approach is not limited to specific screening environments or to non-hybridized interface systems. XAF-GW can also be applied to systems with different dimensionalities, as well as to Moire superlattices such as in twisted bilayers. We illustrate the generality and usefulness of our approach by applying it to self-assembled PTCDA monolayers on Au(111) and Ag(111), and PTCDA monolayers on graphite-supported monolayer WSe2, where good agreement with experiment is obtained.

description: The motivation of this study was to examine the effects of intensive speech treatment on the conversational intelligibility of Spanish speakers with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). It also aimed at investigating several acoustic variables in the speech of this population. Sixteen speakers with a medical diagnosis of PD participated in this study and their voice recordings were analyzed pre- and post-treatment. The intelligibility measures of transcription accuracy and median ease-of-understanding ratings increased significantly immediately post-treatment and gains were maintained at the one-month follow-up. The acoustic variables of vowel space and voice onset time did not change significantly pre-to-post treatment, whilst the prosodic targets of intensity and mean fundamental frequency increased significantly as a result of treatment. These findings support the implementation of intensive voice intervention to improve intelligibility in Spanish dysarthria. Clinical and theoretical considerations are discussed.
Normal forms and complex periodic orbits in semiclassical expansions of Hamiltonian systems

description: Bifurcations of periodic orbits as an external parameter is varied are a characteristic feature of generic Hamiltonian systems. Meyer's classification of normal forms provides a powerful tool to understand the structure of phase space dynamics in their neighborhood. We provide a pedestrian presentation of this classical theory and extend it by including systematically the periodic orbits lying in the complex plane on each side of the bifurcation. This allows for a more coherent and unified treatment of contributions of periodic orbits in semiclassical expansions. The contribution of complex fixed points is find to be exponentially small only for a particular type of bifurcation (the extremal one). In all other cases complex orbits give rise to corrections in powers of $\hbar$ and, unlike the former one, their contribution is hidden in the ``shadow'' of a real periodic orbit.

description: Ever since China has carried out the Land Use Right Tendering, Auction and Listing Policy (Zhao, Pai, Gua) in 2002, controversies on whether competitions introduced by the new policy would lead to rapid increase in land transaction price has never stopped, along with concerns that higher land price would in turn be an incentive of increasing housing price. In this paper, the effects of land use right transaction approaches are tested through Hedonic Pricing model based on residential land use right price, property price and other influential factors such as accessibility, environment and location of main urban areas in Beijing. Results show a slightly correlation between transaction approaches and residential land use right price while a significant relationship between previous residential housing price and land use right price.

description: River-banks are presented as investigation subjects for geobotany, vegetation ecology and biogeography. The actual state of the art is discussed, problems and deficits within the investigations are pointed out. A spot-test method for recording the diversity of vegetation in linear systems is shown. At the same time these spot-test methods meet the requirements for long-time monitoring. Methodical problems when mapping the riparian flora are discussed as well as the influence of water pollution and embankments. According to the actual knowledge riverbanks in settlements show high biodiversity. Great attention is payed to dynamics of the riparian flora, especially to spreading phenomena of plant species along river banks. Alterations to the riparian vegetation caused by alien plants are discussed as well as the spreading of C4 species along river-banks. Problems within the synsystematics of riparian plant communities are dealed with as well as the necessity of enhanced investigations with respect to population biology of jkey species. At least genetical implications to ecological respectively spatial isolation of riparian plants are mentioned.

description: There exist measuring devices where an analog input is converted into a digital output. Such converters can have a nonlinear internal dynamics. We show how measurements with such converting devices can be understood using concepts from symbolic dynamics. Our approach is based on a nonlinear one-to-one mapping between the analog input and the digital output of the device. We analyze the Bernoulli shift and the tent map which are realized in specific analog/digital converters. Furthermore, we discuss the sources of errors that are inevitable in physical realizations of such systems and suggest methods for error reduction.

The Effects of Manipulation of Virtual Objects in a Game-like Environment as a Supplement to a Teaching Lesson in the Context of Physics Concepts

description: Many scientific domains deal with abstract and multidimensional phenomena, and students often struggle to comprehend theoretical and complex abstractions and apply scientific concepts to real life contexts (Anderson & Barnett, 2013). One of these scientific domains that impose theoretical and complex abstractions is physics. The way that physics has traditionally been taught in school is through learning mathematical formulas and equations (Price, 2008). Many researchers proposed several ways to teach physics effectively. There are several virtual reality applications and computer games that were designed and utilized in the area of science education. In the case of physics education, many studies yielded positive results when using computer games to teach abstract concepts to students (Maxmen, 2010; Price, 2008; Squire et al., 2004). Furthermore, both physical and virtual manipulative tools were shown to be effective and essential in physics learning.
      This study examined the effects of manipulation of virtual objects in a game-like environment when supplemented with a descriptive or a narrative lesson in the context of physics concepts related to force, distance, and conservation of energy. In particular, the study examined learners’ performance on a test of physics knowledge related to the study when encountered with two factors that influence learning: lesson type and type of manipulation. The study drew on the research done on using virtual manipulatives in education and theoretical support from constructivist theories of learning implying that learners form their own knowledge through meaningful interactions with the world, and that prior knowledge greatly influences the construction of new knowledge in individual learners (Barbour et al., 2009; Bruner, 1966).
      From the study’s results, it seems that providing a textual pre-lesson is important for low-prior knowledge learners when it comes to learning physics concepts. Moreover, having engaged in a manipulation task also contributed to participants’ learning gain (in both low-prior knowledge and high-prior knowledge groups) as measured by the post-assessments used in this study. Moreover, the results from this study help inform educational game designers who incorporate manipulatives about the role of providing pre-lessons that tie to concepts targeted by the manipulation activity, and how different kinds of manipulation in a game-like environment affect learning outcomes. The findings suggest that the role of these two factors combined requires further research.

description: I used a multiple-probe design across two groups of 4 participants to test the effects of the mastery of editing peer writing on participant’s writing and self-editing skills. Participants included 8 third grade students who did not have functional writing skills in 4 subject areas of technical writing. These participants also lacked self-editing skills. The primary dependent measure was the number of rewrites to criterion for writing assignments as measured by the number of accurate functional writing components. Participants had to write to fulfill a set of functional writing requirements, defined in a checklist, and then had to observe the effects of his or her writing on the behavior of a naive reader. The criterion for the rewrites to criterion measure was writing at 100% functional accuracy and 90% structural accuracy in 1 rewrite attempt. The second dependent measure was accurate self-editing skills across functional and structural writing components. Participants were required to edit the functional and structural components in their own writing assignments using an algorithm provided in a checklist. The criterion for self-editing was set at 90% functional accuracy and 90% structural accuracy for each assignment. Structural writing included 6 grammatical components; complete sentences, spelling, subject-verb agreement, punctuation, capitalization and word usage. The independent variable was the mastery of a peer-editing intervention procedure. Participants were taught how to edit peer’s functional and structural writing through written feedback provided by the experimenters on his or her editing. Experimenters did not communicate with the peer writers throughout the intervention and participants never served as writers during the intervention. Peer writers wrote in response to the participant’s feedback until the participant met criterion on editing for functional and structural accuracy. Criterion for the intervention was met when the peer writer wrote at 100% functional and 90% structural accuracy on the first attempt across two consecutive writing pieces. This meant that the participant mastered the editing intervention for both functional and structural editing. Results of the study showed that all participants decreased their number of rewrites to criterion in post-intervention probe measures which was a measure of functional writing. Results also showed that all participants increased their functional and structural editing skills while editing their own writing. Results are discussed in terms significance to the research of behavior analysis and research in education. Limitations and suggestions for future research are be discussed, followed by a conclusion and the educational impact of the results from this experiment.

Frontiers in Nuclear Theory: From Light Nuclei to Astrophysics

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Nuclear theory today aims at a comprehensive understanding of properties of nuclides in the whole nuclear chart. A number of challenges are encountered by theorists along the road of accomplishing this goal. Recent progresses in many fronts lead to a renaissance of nuclear physics. Advances in effective field theory provide us with a tool to derive nuclear forces starting from the fundamental theory of Quantum-Chromo-Dynamics: two- and three-body forces among nucleons arise naturally and consistently with each other. This complex nature of the nuclear force generates a broad diversity of phenomena, especially in nuclei far from stability. A fascinating example is the arising of halo nuclear structures leading to extremely large radial extensions. Owing to their short lifetimes, most of these nuclei do not naturally exist on Earth. To be studied they must be synthesized in the laboratory, at the so-called radioactive beam facilities, like TRIUMF. Measurements provide a test of the predictive power of theoretical models. Nowadays, thanks to the advent of high performance computing, new ab-initio methods for the solution of the quantum many-body problem become available. Exotic properties of nuclei can be derived directly from the interaction among protons and neutrons. Furthermore, the investigation of astrophysical implications of nuclear processes, e.g. in the nucleosynthesis of elements is another key aspect in nuclear theory. This synergy between nuclear physics and astrophysics makes the scenario even more exciting. I will discuss some advances in the field with emphasis on future perspective.

Instead of hypothesizing explicitly how AVs drive, our goal is to design future AVs as rational, utility-optimizing agents that continuously select optimal velocity over a period of planning horizon. With a large number of interacting AVs, this design problem can become computationally intractable. This paper aims to tackle such a challenge by employing mean field approximation and deriving a mean field game (MFG) as the limiting differential game with an infinite number of agents. The proposed micro-macro model allows one to define individuals on a microscopic level as utility-optimizing agents while translating rich microscopic behaviors to macroscopic models. Different from existing studies on the application of MFG to traffic flow models, the present study offers a systematic framework to apply MFG to autonomous vehicle velocity control. The MFG-based AV controller is shown to mitigate traffic jam faster than the LWR-based controller. MFG also embodies classical traffic flow models with behavioral interpretation, thereby providing a new traffic flow theory for AVs.

description: Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is an attractive target for cancer therapeutic intervention. Selective HDAC6 inhibitors is important to minimise the side effects of pan inhibition. Thus, new class of hydroxamic acid-based derivatives were designed on structural basis to perform preferential activity against HDAC6 targeting solid tumours. Interestingly, 1-benzylbenzimidazole-2-thio-N-hydroxybutanamide 10a showed impressive preference with submicromolar potency against HDAC6 (IC50 = 510 nM). 10a showed cytotoxic activity with interesting profile against CCHE-45 at (IC50 = 112.76 µM) when compared to standard inhibitor Tubacin (IC50 = 20 µM). Western blot analysis of acetylated-α-tubulin verified the HDAC6 inhibiting activity of 10a. Moreover, the insignificant difference in acetylated-α-tubulin induced by 10a and Tubacin implied the on-target cytotoxic activity of 10a. Docking of 10a in the binding site of HDAC6 attributed the activity of 10a to π-π stacking with the amino acids of the hydrophobic channel of HDAC6 and capture of zinc metal in bidentate fashion. The therapeutic usefulness besides the on-target activity may define 10a as an interesting safe-lead inhibitor for future development.

description: We show that there exist non-relativistic scattering experiments which, if successful, freeze out, speed up or even reverse the free dynamics of any ensemble of quantum systems present in the scattering region. This time translation effect is universal, i.e., it is independent of the particular interaction between the scattering particles and the target systems, or the (possibly non-Hermitian) Hamiltonian governing the evolution of the latter. The protocols require careful preparation of the probes which are scattered, and success is heralded by projective measurements of these probes at the conclusion of the experiment. We fully characterize the possible time translations which we can effect on multiple target systems through a scattering protocol of fixed duration. The core results are: a) when the target is a single system, we can translate it backwards in time for an amount proportional to the experimental runtime; b) when n targets are present in the scattering region, we can make a single system evolve n times faster (backwards or forwards), at the cost of keeping the remaining systems stationary in time. For high n our protocols therefore allow one to map, in short experimental time, a system to the state it would have reached with a very long unperturbed evolution in either positive or negative time.

Another Note on Forced Burgers Turbulence

description: The power law range for the velocity gradient probability density function in forced Burgers turbulence has been an issue of discussion recently. It is shown in [chao-dyn/9901006] that the negative exponent in the assumed power law range has to be strictly larger than 3. Here we give another direct argument for that result, working with finite viscosity. At the same time we compute viscous correction to the power law range. This should answer the questions raised by Kraichnan in [chao-dyn/9901023] regarding the results of [chao-dyn/9901006].

title: Empowerment & Conversion: A Contemporary Explanation for Why People Join Minority Religions
Creators: name: Graham-hyde, Edward
Publisher: name: University of Central Lancashire
Year: 2024

description: In contemporary society, popular discourse surrounding minority religions is negatively impacted by usage of the word “cult” or “brainwashing”, words which carry connotations. Many minority religions, and adherents thereof, are “othered”, these include Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Baha’i, Paganisms and Scientologies.

The research aim was to ascertain the hidden social mechanisms which lead to a participant’s conversion. A broader aim was to investigate the impact of popular discourse surrounding “cults” on individual religious identity, illuminating the lived reality of minority religion adherents. Ultimately, this research investigated why individuals choose to convert into minority religions which are often considered “bad religion”. Overall, this thesis discusses the implications this has for the individual’s lived reality.

I employ a qualitative method of data collection of collecting conversion narratives while blending a critical realist, interpretive, and rational choice theoretical frameworks. This thesis reviews the emerging data from the pilot study and three additional case studies. Through qualitative interviews, the lived reality of conversion was explored which revealed a hidden social mechanism impacting on the rational choice of participants to affiliate with minority religions. This thesis demonstrates empowerment is a key category requirement for conversion and/or affiliation into minority religious organisations. Furthermore, this thesis explores a generalised emergent model of empowered conversion which can be applied in future investigations of conversion in religious and non-religious contexts.

This research interjects into the current discussions concerning methodology and paradigms for understanding religion. Ultimately, this thesis is submitted at a time when the fields of religious studies and sociology of religion, as well as the sub-field of minority religion, is in a state of flux. Therefore, this thesis further seeks to engage in the discussions currently taking place regarding “world religions”, minority religions and the use of “cult” rhetoric.
Galactic and cosmological fast radio bursts as scaled-up solar radio bursts

description: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright milliseconds radio transients with large dispersion measures. Recently, FRB 200428 was detected in temporal coincidence with a hard X-ray flare from the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154, which supports that at least some FRBs are from magnetar activity. Interestingly, a portion of X-ray flares from magnetar XTE J1810-197 and the Sun are also accompanied by radio bursts. Many features of Galactic FRB 200428 and cosmological FRBs resemble solar radio bursts. However, a common physical origin among FRBs, magnetar radio pulses and solar radio bursts has not yet been established. Here we report a universal correlation between X-ray luminosity and radio luminosity over twenty orders of magnitude among solar type III radio bursts, XTE J1810-197 and Galactic FRB 200428. This universal correlation reveals that the energetic electrons which produce the X-ray flares and those which cause radio emissions have a common origin, which can give stringent limits on the generation process of radio bursts. Moreover, we find similar occurrence frequency distributions of energy, duration and waiting time for solar radio bursts, SGR 1935+2154 and repeating FRB 121102, which also support the tight correlation and the X-ray flares temporally associated with radio bursts. All of these distributions can be understood by avalanche models of self-organized criticality systems. The universal correlation and statistical similarities indicate that the Galactic FRB 200428 and FRBs seen at cosmological distances can be treated as scaled-up solar radio bursts.

description: It is suggested that the mechanism responsible for the resolution of the gauge hierarchy problem within the warped geometry framework can be generalized to provide a new explanation of the extremely tiny vacuum energy density rho_V suggested by recent observations. We illustrate the mechanism with some 5D examples in which the true vacuum energy is assumed to vanish, and rho_V is associated with a false vacuum energy such that rho_V^{1/4} ~ TeV^2/M_{Pl} ~ 10^{-3} eV, where M_{Pl} denotes the reduced Planck mass. We also consider a quintessence-like solution to the dark energy problem.
