title: Exploring play-based learning in full-day kindergarten in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador
Creators: name: Ogolo, Chinwe
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: Teaching through play-based learning is emphasized as a fundamental strategy for achieving full-day kindergarten curriculum objectives in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Through a multi-case studies design, this study investigated the implementation of play-based learning by exploring three kindergarten teachers’ perceptions of, and experiences with, play-based learning. In addition, the study explored four practices, outlined as play-based pedagogical practices in Newfoundland and Labrador, in three English classrooms. These practices involve how the classroom environment was set up to enhance literacy and numeracy learning, how much time was provided for children to play and explore, sustained shared thinking between teachers and children, and how teacher-directed and child-initiated activities are integrated. Furthermore, the study sought to understand children’s opinions on play and learning in full-day kindergarten. Data collection methods included direct observations, semi-structured interviews, drawings, and photographs. The data was analysed through a universal design for learning framework. The findings reveal that the teachers believe that there is a relationship between play and learning, and that play-based learning benefits children academically and developmentally. Also, the findings illustrate that the three kindergarten classrooms implemented the outlined practices. The children had ample time to engage in free play, literacy and numeracy were integrated into every area of learning and the environment, teachers and children engaged in sustained shared thinking, and there was a combination of teacher-directed and child-initiated activities. There was also a mix of large group, small group, individual learning, and child-initiated activities. The findings demonstrate that although children enjoy playing and believe that they learn when they play, they found it difficult conceiving play and learning as the same. A result worth considering are challenges, which might impact the teachers’ implementation of play-based learning, especially insufficient materials, resources, and inadequate teacher preparation/education.

description: A superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD) system for telecommunication wavelength using a GM cryocooler was developed and its performance was verified. The cryocooler based SNSPD system can operate continuously with a 100 V AC power supply without any cryogen. The packaged SNSPD device was cooled to 2.96 K within a thermal fluctuation range of 10 mK. An SNSPD with an area of 20 x 20 $μm^2$ showed good system detection efficiency (DE) at 100 Hz dark count rate of 2.6% and 4.5% at wavelengths of 1550 and 1310 nm, respectively. An SNSPD with an area of 10 x 10 $μm^2$ and kinetic inductance lower than that of the large area device showed good system DE of 2.6% at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The SNSPD system could be operated for over 10 h with constant system DE and dark count rate.

description: A Kaluza-Klein model, with a matter source associated with Hawking radiation from an evaporating black hole, is used to obtain a simple form for the radion effective potential. The environmental effect generally causes a matter-induced shift of the radion vacuum, resulting in the formation of a radion cloud around the hole. There is an albedo due to the radion cloud, with an energy dependent reflection coefficient that depends upon the size of the extra dimensions and the temperature of the hole.

description: Although young people spend increasing amounts of time on the internet, many caveats remain in the literature with regard to the development of digital skills. We focus on the influence of perceived discrimination given its strong link with youth development. We also consider the multidimensional nature of digital skills, focusing on five dimensions, and on digital knowledge. Using online survey data from 6221 children and young people aged 12–20 in six European countries, we seek to understand how discriminated youths may differ from their more advantaged peers with respect to digital skills. The findings show that young people who are discriminated against generally hold greater digital skills than their counterparts who are not being discriminated against. The relationship between perceived discrimination and digital skills is partially mediated by peer support and internet use. We discuss these findings in light of young people’s increased social isolation due to discrimination.
Disentangling the latent space of 3D human body meshes
Creators: name: Wu, Yuhao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Deep generative models such as Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), Generative Ad- versarial Networks (GANs), and diffusion models have demonstrated their efficacy in generating 2D images and 3D meshes. However, interpreting the learned latent space poses a significant challenge. The current literature mainly focuses on un- supervised methods, which exhibit two primary limitations: firstly, the inability to control the meaning of each latent variable, and secondly, the occurrence of multiple latent variables possessing overlapping meanings. Moreover, it has been shown that fully disentangling the latent space using only unsupervised methods is theoretically infeasible. In this work, we introduce a method for latent space disen- tanglement on 3D meshes. Our method comprises two components: a feature func- tion for predicting 3D mesh features, and a regular generative model. We employ the derivative of the feature function as part of the loss function to promote dis- entanglement. Experimental results demonstrate that our disentanglement method effectively addresses the limitations mentioned above without compromising the accuracy of the reconstruction. Additionally, given its model-agnostic nature, our method exhibits generality across different generative models and tasks.

description: In the last decade the broad scope of complex networks has led to a rapid progress. In this area a particular interest has the study of community structures. The analysis of this type of structure requires the formalization of the intuitive concept of community and the definition of indices of goodness for the obtained results. A lot of algorithms has been presented to reach this goal. In particular, an interesting problem is the search of overlapped communities and it is field seems very interesting a solution based on the use of genetic algorithms. The approach discusses in this paper is based on a parallel implementation of a genetic algorithm and shows the performance benefits of this solution.

description: We measured the radii of 7 low and very low-mass stars using long baseline interferometry with the VLTI interferometer and its VINCI and AMBER near-infrared recombiners. We use these new data, together with literature measurements, to examine the luminosity- radius and mass-radius relations for K and M dwarfs. The precision of the new interferometric radii now competes with what can be obtained for double-lined eclipsing binaries. Interferometry provides access to much less active stars, as well as to stars with much better measured distances and luminosities, and therefore complements the information obtained from eclipsing systems. The radii of magnetically quiet late-K to M dwarfs match the predictions of stellar evolution models very well, providing direct confirmation that magnetic activity explains the discrepancy that was recently found for magnetically active eclipsing systems. The radii of the early K dwarfs are well reproduced for a mixing length parameter that approaches the solar value, as qualitatively expected.

description: We develop the quantum theory of transverse angular momentum of light beams. The theory applies to paraxial and quasi-paraxial photon beams in vacuum, and reproduces the known results for classical beams when applied to coherent states of the field. Both the Poynting vector, alias the linear momentum, and the angular momentum quantum operators of a light beam are calculated including contributions from first-order transverse derivatives. This permits a correct description of the energy flow in the beam and the natural emergence of both the spin and the angular momentum of the photons. We show that for collimated beams of light, orbital angular momentum operators do not satisfy the standard commutation rules. Finally, we discuss the application of our theory to some concrete cases.

description: Technology is widely promoted as a solution to greater independence and better health for the rapidly growing UK older population. If this is to be realised, we need to understand barriers and facilitators to uptake and investigate who wants this technology and who does not express an interest in use. This analysis is based on data from a population-based cohort study, the Cognitive Function and Ageing Study (CFAS)-II, which focused on brain health in older people and included questions about access to- and interest in- internet technologies. The factors affecting willingness to use technologies that support memory and ADL were identified using binary logistic regression analysis. 541 people aged 75 years and older from Cambridgeshire, Nottingham and Newcastle responded. Older adults were more willing to use technologies directed towards improving memory (65%) than towards ADL supportive technologies (38%). Regression analysis showed that an older age (OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.34–0.98), female gender (OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.42–0.99), no access to technology including laptops and tablets (OR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.32–0.72), and self-reported physically less slowing down (but no objective health indicators) (OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.36–0.88) were strongly associated with UK older adults’ lesser willingness to use memory assistive technologies while not having access to laptops and tablets (OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.39–0.84) was associated with willingness to use ADL supportive technologies. Older people, females and those with less access to technologies should be considered as target groups by healthcare providers, policymakers, and technology producers to promote technology and support healthy and independent ageing.

description: Two new invariants that are closely related to Milnor's curvature-torsion invariant are introduced. The first, the spiral index of a knot, captures the minimum number of maxima among all knot projections that are free of inflection points. This invariant is closely related to both the bridge and braid index of the knot. The second, the projective superbridge index, provides a method of counting the greatest number of maxima that occur in a given knot projection. In addition to investigating how these invariants are related to the classical invariants, we utilize them to determine all knots with curvature-torsion invariant equal to 6 pi.

title: Intimate encounters with violence: media and trauma in the work of Phyllis Webb and Daphne Marlatt
Creators: name: Campbell, Collin
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: This dissertation looks at the work of Phyllis Webb and Daphne Marlatt, two West Coast Canadian poets who explored questions of media technologies and trauma violence in their work during the latter half of the twentieth century. This thesis takes up contemporary phenomenological and feminist analyses of the connections between media technologies and trauma, especially war violence, in relation to both the creative and practical careers of these two writers. Research into the histories of media technologies such as the letter, radio, photography, and television shows how these technologies have shaped our experience of violence both globally and locally, from nineteenth-century colonial garrisons in Canada to the internment of Japanese Canadians during the Second World War to the 1991 Gulf War. Ultimately, this dissertation suggests that these two poets offer new phenomenological interpretations of the ways in which media technologies shape our perception of historical, hidden traumas.

description: The recently found material graphene is a truly two-dimensional crystal and exhibits, in addition, an extreme mechanical strength. This in combination with the high electron mobility favours graphene for electromechanical investigations down to the quantum limit. Here, we show that a monolayer of graphene on SiO2 provides natural, ultra-small membranes of diameters down to 3 nm, which are caused by the intrinsic rippling of the material. Some of these nano-membranes can be switched hysteretically between two vertical positions using the electric field of the tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM). They can also be forced to oscillatory motion by a low frequency ac-field. Using the mechanical constants determined previously, we estimate a high resonance frequency up to 0.4 THz. This might be favorable for quantum-electromechanics and is prospective for single atom mass spectrometers.

description: We measure the diversity of galaxy groups and clusters with mass M>1E13/h Msun, in terms of the star formation history of their galaxy populations, for the purpose of constraining the mass scale at which environmentally-important processes play a role in galaxy evolution. We consider three different group catalogues, selected in different ways, with photometry and spectroscopy from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. For each system we measure the fraction of passively-evolving galaxies within R200 and brighter than either Mr=-18 (and with z<0.05) or Mr=-20 (and z<0.1). We use the (u-g) and (r-i) galaxy colours to distinguish between star-forming and passively-evolving galaxies. By considering the binomial distribution expected from the observed number of members in each cluster, we are able to either recover the intrinsic scatter in this fraction, or put robust 95% confidence upper-limits on its value. The intrinsic standard deviation in the fraction of passive galaxies is consistent with a small value of <0.1 in most mass bins for all three samples. There is no strong trend with mass; even groups with M=1E13/h Msun are consistent with such a small, intrinsic distribution. We compare these results with theoretical models of the accretion history to show that, if environment plays a role in transforming galaxies, such effects must occur first at mass scales far below that of rich clusters, at most M=1E13 Msun.

description: Preprint of manuscript, Oct 16 2016 (NOTE: predates replication currently being conducted) To communicate successfully, we often go beyond literal meaning: we make sarcastic remarks, ask others for favors, and engage in face-saving acts. Do these abilities rely on the same mechanisms as literal sentence interpretation? Or does pragmatic reasoning draw on general social-cognitive abilities? Using a functional localization fMRI approach, we examined activity in i) the language system, ii) the Theory-of-Mind (ToM) system, and iii) the domain-general “multiple demand” system, sensitive to diverse demanding tasks, while participants processed one-liner-style jokes and non-joke controls. Only the ToM system was robustly sensitive to jokes. Further, funnier stimuli (as judged by the participants) elicited stronger responses, and the size of the jokes>non-jokes effect in ToM regions across individuals was predictive of how funny they found the jokes. Thus ‘getting’ jokes – and perhaps pragmatic processing more broadly – appears to stem from the same cognitive abilities that allow us to imagine what another person is thinking.
Defect evolution and mitigation in metal extrusion additive manufacturing
Creators: name: Hosseinimehr, Mohammadali
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Metal paste extrusions processes have found widespread application and are typically thought of as facile techniques to create metal components without the need for energy sources typically used in direct energy deposition and powder bed fusion processes. Despite recent advances in achieving net shape and improvements to material/component integrity, these processes are characterized by performance limiting defects which often emerge as a result of deposition strategy and are retained post sintering. Understanding these and devising strategies to minimize their formation will be essential for wider acceptance of the technology and utilization in more demanding applications. In this study, metal paste extrusion is explored from the first principle of depositing and understanding the formation of ‘inter-track’ and ‘in-track’ pores which manifest in fully sintered parts. To evaluate the contribution of these to undermining material integrity, tensile tests of linear and circular deposition strategies are undertaken. Experiments show that track interface length plays a major role in determining elongation to failure and tensile strength. To study post deposition defect behavior through the sintering cycle, X-Ray Computed Tomography is performed. This allows the evolution of defects to be observed through heat treatment. It is found that there are pores larger than the D90 metal particles introduced upon deposition that cannot be closed upon sintering. It is concluded that the limitation on the mechanical properties of metal paste extrusion components originates from the emergence of defects and their characteristics after the completion of the processing, as opposed to being influenced by the metallurgy prior or post sintering.

description: The Painting Minor 292 unit was conducted in the second semester of 1999 at the School of Art in the Curtin University of Technology, Bentley, Perth in Western Australia. At the course commencement Associate Professor Ted Snell spent considerable amounts of time with the student cohort running through the expectations of the fifteen (15) week course, the course timetable and through a detailed plan including school administration policies and procedures. It was understood that this unit would be project based and that mid-semester and end-of-semester reviews would be conducted for assessment. It was also understood that each student was required to attend a number of field visits to various art institutions around the Perth metropolitan area, as well as attend presentations and combined school tutorials with guest lecturers which included Greek Cypriot & Australian Artist, Stellarc and Victoria Vesna from UCLA, USA. In addition each student was required to produce a ‘Proposal of Project Works’ for review and tutorial presentation from each student was encouraged for peer review and feedback purposes.

description: Im Fokus der Befragung steht der unbeschränkte und kostenfreie Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Informationen, Open Access, (OA) und die Verwendung freier Lizenzen für Bildungsmaterialien, Open Educational Resources (OER). Wie nutzen insbesondere Ingenieurwissenschaftler_innen OA und OER und warum tun sie es unter Umständen noch nicht?  Die aus der Umfrage gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden genutzt, um neue  technische, organisatorische, rechtliche und reputationsbezogene  Services, Unterstützungs- und Workshopangebote, Infomaterialien und  Kommunikationskonzepte für die Ingenieurwissenschaften zu entwickeln, zu  erproben und zu evaluieren. Die Bereitschaft zur Veröffentlichung von  Publikationen und Lehrmaterialien als OA bzw. OER soll bei den  Forschenden und Lehrenden in den Ingenieurwissenschaften deutlich  intensiviert werden. Für die Auswertung der Fragebögen kam die  kommerzielle Software EvaSys zum Einsatz. Entstanden sind die Ergebnisse  im Rahmen des vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF)  geförderten OpenIng-Verbundprojekts der TU Darmstadt, TU Braunschweig  und der Universität Stuttgart.

description: The catalog from the first high resolution U-band image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 through the F300W filter, is presented. We detect 96 U-band objects and compare and combine this catalog with a Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) B-selected catalog that provides B, V, i, and z photometry, spectral types, and photometric redshifts. We have also obtained Far-Ultraviolet (FUV, 1614 Å) data with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys Solar Blind Channel (ACS/SBC) and with Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX). We detected 31 sources with ACS/SBC, 28 with GALEX/FUV, and 45 with GALEX/NUV. The methods of observations, image processing, object identification, catalog preparation, and catalog matching are presented.

Defect Perturbations in Landau-Ginzburg Models

description: Perturbations of B-type defects in Landau-Ginzburg models are considered. In particular, the effect of perturbations of defects on their fusion is analyzed in the framework of matrix factorizations. As an application, it is discussed how fusion with perturbed defects induces perturbations on boundary conditions. It is shown that in some classes of models all boundary perturbations can be obtained in this way. Moreover, a universal class of perturbed defects is constructed, whose fusion under certain conditions obey braid relations. The functors obtained by fusing these defects with boundary conditions are twist functors as introduced in the work of Seidel and Thomas.

Phonon Thermal Conduction in Graphene

description: We investigated theoretically the phonon thermal conductivity of single layer graphene. The phonon dispersion for all polarizations and crystallographic directions in graphene lattice was obtained using the valence-force field method. The three-phonon Umklapp processes were treated exactly using an accurate phonon dispersion and Brillouin zone, and accouting for all phonon relaxation channels allowed by the momentum and energy conservation laws. The uniqueness of graphene was reflected in the two-dimensional phonon density of states and restrictions on the phonon Umklapp scattering phase-space. The phonon scattering on defects and graphene edges has been also included in the model. The calculations were performed for the Gruneisen parameter, which was determined from the ab initio theory as a function of the phonon wave vector and polarization branch, and for a range of values from experiments. It was found that the near room-temperature thermal conductivity of single layer graphene, calculated with a realistic Gruneisen parameter, is in the range ~ 2000 - 5000 W/mK depending on the defect concentration and roughness of the edges. Owing to the long phonon mean free path the graphene edges produce strong effect on thermal conductivity even at room temperature. The obtained results are in good agreement with the recent measurements of the thermal conductivity of suspended graphene.

Probing the Nature of the unidentified TeV Gamma-ray source HESS J0632+057 with Swift

description: New generation TeV gamma-ray telescopes have discovered many new sources, including several enigmatic unidentified TeV objects. HESS J0632+057 is a particularly interesting unidentified TeV source since: it is a point source, it has a possible hard-spectrum X-ray counterpart and a positionally consistent Be star, it has evidence of long-term VHE flux variability, and it is postulated to be a newly detected TeV/X-ray binary. We have obtained Swift X-ray telescope observations of this source from MJD 54857 to 54965, in an attempt to ascertain its nature and to investigate the hypothesis that it's a previously unknown X-ray/TeV binary. Variability and spectral properties similar to those of the other 3 known X-ray/TeV binaries have been observed, with measured flux increases by factors of approximately 3. X-ray variability is present on multiple timescales including days to months; however, no clear signature of periodicity is present on the timescales probed by these data. If binary modulation is present and dominating the measured variability, then the period of the orbit is likely to be more than 54 days (half of this campaign), or it has a shorter period with a variable degree of flux modulation on successive high states. If the two high states measured to date are due to binary modulation, then the favored period is approximately 35-40 days. More observations are required to determine if this object is truly a binary system and to determine the extent that the measured variability is due to inter-orbit flaring effects or periodic binary modulation.

On the relationship between Red Rectangle and diffuse interstellar bands

description: A careful examination of Red Rectangle bands which have been considered as diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in emission shows that a few are likely to be artifacts in the spectrum. Some others result from atmospheric extinction. Consequences for the Red Rectangle band/DIB associations are examined. I will also comment a striking resemblance between the DIB spectrum and the spectrum of NO2 in the 6150-6250A region. This suggests that some DIBs could be provoked by atmospheric molecules.
