description: Are there some implementations of technology in the language classroom which lead to measurable advantages over others? Sturm and Golato (in press) found considerable variance on dictée tests within groups of students who practiced a list of accent-bearing target words by handwriting, typing using preprogrammed function keys, or typing using ALT+ numeric codes. These results contradict the results of Gascogine-Lally (2000), who found that students who typed a paragraph recalled accents better than those who wrote the paragraph by hand. The present study seeks to explore the difference between the two studies. Participants were exposed to Gascoigne-Lally’s paragraph, as well as a set of words in both list and paragraph form. One-way ANOVAs revealed no significant differences between groups, although repeated-measures ANOVAs revealed differences within participants on different sets of target words on immediate posttests. The results of this study encourage future research to investigate the results obtained by Gascoigne-Lally as well as Sturm and Golato.

description: This study explored the potential outcomes of circular business activities, of small medium enterprises that are operating in London, United Kingdom and examined how they relate to product lifetime extension. The data sample consisted of 89 start-up companies, trading for 1–4 years and either at seed or growth stage. The analysis was based on the ‘Theory of Change’ framework and a logic model was created to illustrate the causal links between circular business activities, circular outputs and outcomes. The results of the study demonstrated that several outcomes can be attributed to circular business activities beyond product lifetime extension, including (i) material, (ii) space and (iii) packaging lifetime extension but also reduction and elimination of lifetimes. In addition, results suggested that predominantly those outcomes are linked to circular business strategies that tend to focus on resource recovery and resource efficiency, while there are fewer examples demonstrating business innovation through circular design, circular revenue models and clean resources strategies. The results also suggested that the main outputs of circular business activities are (a) prevention, (b) reusability and (c) recyclability.

description: Placement tests, along with the growing interest in their validation, have become increasingly important in English as a Second Language programs. To this end, the present paper illustrates procedures in designing a placement test and using it to evaluate students’ language ability by means of statistical analysis. 29 participants from three proficiency levels (beginning, intermediate, and advanced) took reading and writing placement test sections. Students’ performance at each proficiency level was analyzed separately and compared across proficiency levels. In addition, analyses of responses on a survey revealed a relationship between language learning attitudes and behaviors exhibited by the participants and their performance on the placement test. Through close examination of the process of placement test design, evaluation, and analysis, this paper provides practical guidelines for reading and writing placement testing.

description: In this paper, we investigated the effects of periodic external potentials on properties of charge carriers in graphene using both the first-principles method based on density functional theory (DFT) and a theoretical approach based on a generalized effective spinor Hamiltonian. DFT calculations were done in a modified Kohn-Sham procedure that includes effects of the periodic external potential. Unexpected energy band gap opening and quenching were predicted for the graphene superlattice with two symmetrical sublattices and those with two unsymmetrical sublattices, respectively. Theoretical analysis based on the spinor Hamiltonian showed that the correlations between pseudospins of Dirac fermions in graphene and the applied external potential, and the potential-induced intervalley scattering, play important roles in energy-gap opening and quenching.

description: In her study of two minority languages in danger of extinction, Gaelic of Scotland and Sorbian of Lusatia, Glaser examines the ways in which perception of identity is linked to language in her book Minority Languages and Cultural Diversity in Europe. The author chose, to the readers’ benefit, to interview leaders of these cultures, whose geographical areas were previously underrepresented in other studies. The interviewees are part of the intellectual and political elite, who include, but are not limited to, members of Gaelic/Sorbian “societies, associations, and/or pressure groups” (p. 7). Consequently, these leaders are likely to shape the story of their people’s identity. By including direct quotations from her interviews (in both the language under consideration and an English translation), Glaser fully engages the reader in the complexities of linguistic and cultural shifts.

description: In her close analysis of language use and investment in a dual language immersion school in Language Identity in a Dual Immersion School, Potowski aims to provide systematic documentation of how students and teachers actually use language in immersion classrooms, adding to a small number of studies of such practices in different dual language contexts. She also seeks to understand students’ own perspectives regarding language use. Based on systematic observations accompanied by (a) audio and video recordings of naturally occurring speech in the classroom, (b) student, parent, and educator interviews, and (c) a combination of standardized and researcher designed language proficiency measures, Potowski paints a deep and complex portrait of English and Spanish language use at the Inter American Magnet School (IAMS) PK-8 grade school in Chicago. The author expertly utilizes ethnographic research methods with quantification of students’ language production, which is not an easy feat. She focuses on oral language and uses the construct of investment to examine why and how students create and resist opportunities to use either Spanish or English at the school.

Growth models on the Bethe lattice

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: I report on an extensive numerical investigation of various discrete growth models describing equilibrium and nonequilibrium interfaces on a substrate of a finite Bethe lattice. An unusual logarithmic scaling behavior is observed for the nonequilibrium models describing the scaling structure of the infinite dimensional limit of the models in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class. This gives rise to the classification of different growing processes on the Bethe lattice in terms of logarithmic scaling exponents which depend on both the model and the coordination number of the underlying lattice. The equilibrium growth model also exhibits a logarithmic temporal scaling but with an ordinary power law scaling behavior with respect to the appropriately defined lattice size. The results may imply that no finite upper critical dimension exists for the KPZ equation.

description: This paper presents a compilation of clustering results taken from the literature for galaxies with highly enhanced (SFR [30-10^3] Msun/yr) star formation activity observed in the redshift range z=[0-3]. We show that, irrespective of the selection technique and only very mildly depending on the star forming rate, the clustering lengths of these objects present a sharp increase of about a factor 3 between z~1 and z~2, going from values of ~5 Mpc to about 15 Mpc and higher. This behaviour is reflected in the trend of the masses of the dark matter hosts of star-forming galaxies which increase from ~10^11.5 Msun to ~10^13.5 Msun between z~1 and z~2. Our analysis shows that galaxies which actively form stars at high redshifts are not the same population of sources we observe in the more local universe. In fact, vigorous star formation in the early universe is hosted by very massive structures, while for z~1 a comparable activity is encountered in much smaller systems, consistent with the down-sizing scenario. The available clustering data can hardly be reconciled with merging as the main trigger for intense star formation activity at high redshifts. We further argue that, after a characteristic time-scale of ~1 Gyr, massive star-forming galaxies at z>~2 evolve into z

The Oscillating Vane-Type Fan

description: The investigation herein described was undertaken to determine the performance characteristics of the oscillating vane-type fan.  The fan was the invention of Mr. Van Dorn and Mr. Cornwell, primarily for use in circulating air in railroad refrigerator cars.  In the present system of railroad refrigeration for the transportation of perishable foodstuffs, the refrigerator car is a heat insulated car, with bunkers at each end for the cakes of ice.  When the car is loaded and the doors shut, cooling is obtained only due to the natural circulation of air in the car, caused by the difference in temperature between the ice in the bunker and the fruit.  This circulation has not been found sufficient, in that there is a large temperature difference between the top and bottom fruit (see Appendix B) and the top half is too warm, often spoiling during transportation.  Also, because of this, the car cannot be filled to its volumetric capacity.  Therefore the requirements which led to the invention of this type of fan were as follows:

1. To provide a sufficient volume of air, against the resistance developed in passing through the fruit, to obtain the cooling characteristics required.

2. To provide a fan which would not require major changes in the structural design of the car, or lessen the amount of fruit which could be carried.

3. To provide a fan, simple in construction and installation, and in its drive mechanism from the car axle.

The oscillating vane-type fan met conditions 2 and 3 in that it could be situated in the four and one half inch space between the floor racks and the floor of the car, through which the air naturally circulated, and in that it could be driven by a simple wheel and crank drive directly off the axle. This thesis presents the results of the investigation of the first condition.

description: Multilingualism in European Bilingual Contexts is a timely publication in light of the European Union’s continuous and forceful promotion of multilingualism. The authors describe the research they present in the book as an “attempt to break some ground” (p. 249) in understanding the challenges of multilingualism in Europe, and through the book they advance the argument that language awareness will play a key role in overcoming those challenges. The book is based on a transnational research study that was conducted in nine different bilingual regions of Europe. The same research design and instrument were employed across all of the contexts that were studied to survey the language use and language attitudes of pre-service teachers. The scope of languages was broadened in this study to include not only minority and majority languages but also the foreign languages often used in the regions. Therefore, as the authors state, the book “goes beyond bilingualism and into multilingualism” (p. 4). The respective cases and the research report as a whole will help readers compare different language situations, identify common patterns, and also gain an understanding of how language education policies and sociolinguistic conditions exert influence on the ground in various European contexts. Although each case represents its own unique situation, the rather contradictory juxtaposition of efforts toward minority language revitalization and the continued emphasis on English was identified across all cases. The editors had particularly chosen pre-service teachers to be the principal informants of the study under the belief that teachers have a profound impact on students’ language use and attitudes. Accordingly, a central argument of the book is that explicit language awareness education will lead to linguistic tolerance and acceptance, and reduce parochialism.
A Comparison of Records from the Linear Strain and Pendulum Seismographs
Creators: name: Pye, Willard Dickison
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1937
Subjects: subject: Geology
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description:  The linear strain seismograph and its action has been described by Benioff (1). Essentially the instrument consists of two piers 20 meters apart in a north-south
direction. A rod is connected rigidly to the southern pier and extends to within a short distance of the northern one. At equal intervals along the rod are supports which
permit only longitudinal movement of the rod. Attached to the northern pier is an electromechanical transducer (2). The rod is insulated with asbestos, and the whole instrument is placed in a long insulated tube to reduce temperature effects on the rod.

 An incoming wave from an earthquake produces a variation
in the separation of the piers, which causes a change in
the separation of the free end of the rod and the northern
pier. This sets up an induced e.m.f. in the transducer
proportional to the velocity with which the displacement
takes place. The induced e.m.f. activates a galvanometer,
the deflection of which is recorded photographically.

description: We present results of a blind survey of Lyman limit systems (LLSs) detected in absorption against 105 quasars at z~3 using the blue sensitive MagE spectrograph at the Magellan Clay telescope. By searching for Lyman limit absorption in the wavelength range ~3000-4000A, we measure the number of LLSs per unit redshift l(z)=1.21+/-0.28 at z~2.8. Using a stacking analysis, we further estimate the mean free path of ionizing photons in the z~3 Universe lambda^912 = 100+/-29 Mpc/h_70.4. Combined with our LLS survey, we conclude that systems with log N_HI >= 17.5 cm^-2 contribute only ~40% to the observed mean free path at these redshifts. Further, with the aid of photo-ionization modeling, we infer that a population of ionized and metal poor systems is likely required to reproduce the metal line strengths observed in a composite spectrum of 20 LLSs with N_HI = 17.5-19 cm^-2 at z~2.6-3.0. Finally, with a simple toy model, we deduce that gas in the halos of galaxies can alone account for the totality of LLSs at z

description: Although humor and linguistic play are common in authentic speech and ubiquitous in the communicative classroom, language play has received little serious attention in the field of second language acquisition. The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential effects of language play upon second language acquisition in both children and adult learners. Studies by Aronsson and Cekaite (2005), Belz (2002), Bell (2005), Bongartz and Schneider (2003), Broner and Tarone (2001), Lucas (2005), Peck (1980), and Warner (2004) are reviewed. The results indicate that second language play may lead to focus on form through noticing, comparison of language forms within and between languages, and corrective feedback from interlocutors; additionally, the ability to play with language seems to be an indicator of proficiency and multicompetence and may instigate pushed output (Swain 2000).

description: Teaching Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Heritage Language Students: Curriculum Needs, Materials, and Assessment, edited by Kimi Kondo-Brown and James Dean Brown, is a collection of empirical research on Japanese, Korean, and Chinese heritage language (HL) education. To contextualize the research, the editors define HL learners as individuals “who have acquired their cultural and linguistic competence in a non-dominant language primarily through contact at home with foreign-born parents and/or other family members” (p. 3). The book covers important and timely is- sues, such as the two-track system of heritage and non-heritage language (NHL) learners, the assessment of HL proficiency, and the intricacies of HL curriculum design, currently under contemplation in the field of HL education. The wide array of articles collected in this publication will in- terest researchers, policy makers, curriculum writers, teacher educators, and teacher trainees at all levels. Prior publications on HL education have been predominately based on Spanish as an HL and do not directly address matters that are unique to East Asian HL education. This volume provides HL educators of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese a much-needed resource that speaks to their unique experience and needs.

description: The anisotropic magnetic properties of the antiferromagnetic compound CePd$_2$Ge$_2$, crystallizing in the tetragonal crystal structure have been investigated in detail on a single crystal grown by Czochralski method. From the electrical transport, magnetization and heat capacity data, the Néel temperature is confirmed to be 5.1 K. Anisotropic behaviour of magnetization and resistivity is observed along the two principal crystallographic directions viz., [100] and [001]. The isothermal magnetization measured in the magnetically ordered state at 2 K exhibits a spin re-orientation at 13.5 T for field applied along [100] direction, whereas the magnetization was linear along the [001] direction attaining a value of 0.94 $μ_{\rm B}$/Ce at 14 T. The reduced value of the magnetization is attributed to the crystalline electric field (CEF) effects. A sharp jump in the specific heat at the magnetic ordering temperature is observed. After subtracting the phononic contribution, the jump in the heat capacity amounts to 12.5 J/K mol which is the expected value for a spin ${1}{2}$ system. From the CEF analysis of the magnetization data the excited crystal field split energy levels were estimated to be at 120 K and 230 K respectively, which quantitatively explain the observed Schottky anomaly in the heat capacity. A magnetic phase diagram has been constructed based on the field dependence of magnetic susceptibility and the heat capacity data.

description: The importance of input has been a widely recognized concept in the field of second language acquisition. Much research has been conducted to examine how input is processed, the various facilitative attributes of input, and the effectiveness of pedagogies that directly manipulate input. Among these domains of input-related research, it is critical to first understand the very nature of input-processing. Hence, in this paper, four different models of input-processing are examined and compared side-by-side. The discussion aims to disambiguate discrepancies in terminologies, identify common emphases on gap-noticing and cognitive-comparison, and suggests the need for further research on the role of attention/consciousness in input-processing.
A Novel Type of Very Long Baseline Astronomical Intensity Interferometer
Creators: name: Borra, Ermanno F.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This article presents a novel type of very long baseline astronomical interferometer that uses the fluctuations, as a function of time, of the intensity measured by a quadratic detector, which is a common type of astronomical detector. The theory on which the technique is based is validated by laboratory experiments. Its outstanding principal advantages comes from the fact that the angular structure of an astronomical object is simply determined from the visibility of the minima of the spectrum of the intensity fluctuations measured by the detector, as a function of the frequency of the fluctuations, while keeping the spacing between mirrors constant. This would allow a simple setup capable of high angular resolutions because it could use an extremely large baseline. Another major interest is that it allows for a more efficient use of telescope time because observations at a single baseline are sufficient, while amplitude and intensity interferometers need several observations at different baselines. The fact that one does not have to move the telescopes would also allow detecting faster time variations because having to move the telescopes sets a lower limit to the time variations that can be detected. The technique uses wave interaction effects and thus has some characteristics in common with intensity interferometry. A disadvantage of the technique, like in intensity interferometry, is that it needs strong sources if observing at high frequencies (e.g. the visible). This is a minor disadvantage in the radio region. At high frequencies, this disadvantage is mitigated by the fact that, like in intensity interferometry, the requirements of the optical quality of the mirrors used are far less severe than in amplitude interferometry so that poor quality large reflectors (e.g. Cherenkov telescopes) can be used in the optical region.

 ARIES Work Package 8 aims for transfer of knowledge and standardisation of equipment across the European Research Infrastructures making use of beam instrumentation and diagnostics for particle accelerators. In total, 11 International Workshops were organized with 32 to 239 delegates (maximum for a remote workshop). Financial support for visits of scientists was covered in total for eight weeks. While in the initial Work Plan it was foreseen to produce as a Deliverable four separated Reports, one for each of the Tasks/sub-sets of diagnostic equipment, during the execution of the project it turned out the number of intercorrelations and crossed references between the four areas was so large that it was more effective to produce a single report, with four Sections each devoted to one of the Tasks/Deliverables.

description: We introduce a model of infinitary computation which enhances the infinite time Turing machine model slightly but in a natural way by giving the machines the capability of detecting cardinal stages of computation. The computational strength with respect to ITTMs is determined to be precisely that of the strong halting problem and the nature of the new characteristic ordinals (clockable, writable, etc.) is explored.

Code-Switching in Spanish/English Bilingual Speech: The Case of Two Recent Immigrants of Mexican Descent

description: This study presents the analysis of a home-based interaction between two Spanish/English bilingual sisters. The purpose of the study is to investigate the functions codeswitching plays in this conversation and the role of these functions in the construction of their identity as elite bilinguals. In addition, this study aims to contribute to the body of research that has been conducted to identify the different functions of code-switching in bilingual interaction, particularly with regards to the creation of an ethnic or linguistic identity. Research on code-switching has been extensive. However, the majority of the studies have been conducted on stable bilingual communities whose members are early bilinguals or sequential bilinguals who have resided in the community for an extended period of time (Blom & Gumperz, 1972; Myers-Scotton, 1993b; Poplack 1980, 1981), or else they have been conducted in educational settings where one or the two languages are used as main medium of instruction (Cromdal & Aronsson, 2000; Rampton, 1999; Zentella, 1981). Furthermore, studies of codeswitching in Spanish/English bilinguals of Mexican origin have analyzed primarily the interaction of second generation Mexican-Americans or that of first generation immigrants who become circumstantial bilinguals once in the United States (García, 1981; Valdés, 1988; Valdés-Fallis, 1977). Little attention has been paid to another type of population: that of the recent, educated immigrant who is already an elite bilingual. The current study thus attempts to fill this gap in the literature by analyzing the functions of code-switching in the interaction of two recent Spanish/English bilingual immigrants of Mexican descent.
Transfer of Stress from Main Beams to Intermediate Stiffeners in Metal Sheet Covered Box Beams

description: The authors have obtained by experimental methods an effective sheer modulus for the sheet in a stiffened plane sheet beam combination under bending loads.  For the combinations tested it was found that the modulus decreases rapidly under light loadings from the elastic value to some asymptotic value depending upon the sheet thickness.  The thick sheet combination gave higher values of the effective shear modulus than the thin sheet.
$GHZ$ state generation of three Josephson qubits in presence of bosonic baths

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze an entangling protocol to generate tripartite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states in a system consisting of three superconducting qubits with pairwise coupling. The dynamics of the open quantum system is investigated by taking into account the interaction of each qubit with an independent bosonic bath with an ohmic spectral structure. To this end a microscopic master equation is constructed and exactly solved. We find that the protocol here discussed is stable against decoherence and dissipation due to the presence of the external baths.

Constraints on strongly coupled chameleon fields from the experimental test of the weak equivalence principle for the neutron
Creators: name: Pokotilovski, Yu. N.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The chameleon scalar field is considered as a possible cause of accelerated expansion of the Universe. The chameleon field induces an interaction potential between a particle and a massive body. Previous experiments with falling cold neutrons intended to measure the neutron coherent scattering lengths and verification of the weak equivalence principle for the neutron are used to constrain the parameters characterizing the strength of the scalar chameleon fields.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.

Stresses in Metal Beams with Flat Sheet Webs of Medium Thickness
Creators: name: Childers, Milford Carlson
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1936
Subjects: Aeronautical Engineering
Aeronautics

description: This paper develops a method by which the stresses in the component parts of a solid web beam may be computed when the dimensions of the web thickness, beam height, and distance between stiffeners are such that the web does not go into the wave state immediately upon applying a small load.  The stress in the web itself is calculated by a consideration of the buckling load of the web.  The load in the stiffeners and flanges is computed by assuming an effective width of sheet as acting with them.  This effective width is obtained by a consideration of the buckling properties of thin sheet in shear.

The results are in the same form as the familiar Wagner beam equations except that certain terms must be modified and corrections made.  The results herein obtained are not to be considered as superseding the Wagner Equations as derived in Ref. I, but supplement them to take care of cases out of the range of the Wagner assumptions.
Perspectives on Creole Genesis and Language Acquisition

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Second language acquisition
subject: Linguistics
subject: FOS: Languages and literature

subject: English language--Study and teaching--Foreign speakers

description: Creolists tend to view the genesis of creole languages as more complicated than do other linguists.While most linguists define creoles as those languages which originate as pidgins and then acquire native speakers, creolists have long questioned the plausibility of this claim and debated alternate theories of genesis among themselves. Universalism (Bickerton, 1981; Bickerton, 1984), posits Chomskyan language universals to account for creole formation within a second-language acquisition (SLA) framework. Substratism (Lefebvre, 1998; Lumsden, 1999) acknowledges the SLA framework set forth by universalism but goes farther in allowing for the influence of the first languages of the creolizing community on the emerging language. This paper examines these two theories, and findings from SLA research are used to critique their respective positions. Additionally, an apparent dichotomy presented by these theories is explored. The complementary hypothesis (Mufwene, 1996; Mufwene, 1999; Mufwene, 2001), which retains an SLA-oriented approach to the theory of creole language origins, is presented as a viable alternative to the question of genetics. Since creoles do not appear to form along strictly first-language acquisition lines, SLA researchers would benefit from exploring the vast body of creolist literature which assumes and proves an SLA framework in the formation of these languages.
The Defence of French: A Language in Crisis?

description: As Robin Adamson explains in The Defence of French: A Language in Crisis?, due to the long history of centralized power and of governmental control of language, the French have a singular relationship with their mother tongue. It is not surprising then that France’s defense of its language is uniquely passionate and uniquely polemical. By referencing past works on the subject, and through her own analysis of the history and current state of the defense of the French language, the author evaluates the situation, draws her own conclusions as to whether or not the language is endangered, and makes a prognosis about its future. Assisting the reader through this rather dense work is a list of the abbreviations of the 34 organizations and political bodies referenced throughout the work as well as frequent tables that depict timelines and break down the information into bite-sized pieces.
