description: To find out more about the Second World War, I went to my Great Nana's house to speak to her about what she remembered.She was only two when WWII started and eight when it ended. She told me some interesting things about her and others' experiences.Her first memory was when she moved to Bournemouth. She wasn't evacuated there; it was because her father (my Great Great Grandad) was enlisted there as a chef. His job was to cook for the soldiers which involved working very long hours. After some time she moved back to Sale (the place of her birth) and rationing was introduced, with monthly trips to the shops where you could only buy around a quarter of your essential items. Many people used their gardens to grow their own fruit and vegetables (as these were hard to get hold of) or had allotments. There was little waste during the war as all the peelings from the vegetables along with other food scraps were placed in bins which were on each street. These were then used to feed the pigs on nearby farms. Many people made their own clothes and any damaged clothes were either mended or recycled to make another garment.When my Great Great Grandad was still in Bournemouth a friend built him a wooden doll's house for my Great Nana. He filled this up with boiled [?], sweets, lard, sugar and butter before he brought it home. These things were almost impossible to obtain during the war, so this was technically illegal, but thankfully he didn't get caught!At the back of her house, my Great Nana had an air raid shelter in case the sirens went off and they needed somewhere to hide. However, some people had their shelter built in a different place, for example, my Great Grandad had his in his basement. His dad built bunk beds in there for the whole family so they could sleep in it safely. My Great Nana's cousin Tommy had his shelter in the middle of his living room; they used it during the day for a dining table (!) and at night to sleep in as a safe place to go when they heard the sirens. At night people wore siren suits to bed which were like onesies. This was so that if the air raid siren went off during the night people could get out of bed as they were, and go down to the shelter without having to get changed.One day when my Great Nana was at home, she heard the sirens go off, and along with the people that lived near her ran into the air raid shelter nearby. Thankfully everyone survived but it transpired that the incident had involved a pilot dropping an air missile on the hospital for wounded soldiers, less than a mile away from her house.When it was time for her to go to school everyone had to take gas masks with them. This was in case the sirens went off and you couldn't breathe. However, my Nana refused to wear hers!

description: This paper presents a learning-based approach for impromptu trajectory tracking for non-minimum phase systems, i.e., systems with unstable inverse dynamics. Inversion-based feedforward approaches are commonly used for improving tracking performance; however, these approaches are not directly applicable to non-minimum phase systems due to their inherent instability. In order to resolve the instability issue, existing methods have assumed that the system model is known and used pre-actuation or inverse approximation techniques. In this work, we propose an approach for learning a stable, approximate inverse of a non-minimum phase baseline system directly from its input-output data. Through theoretical discussions, simulations, and experiments on two different platforms, we show the stability of our proposed approach and its effectiveness for high-accuracy, impromptu tracking. Our approach also shows that including more information in the training, as is commonly assumed to be useful, does not lead to better performance but may trigger instability and impact the effectiveness of the overall approach.

description: [Abridged] We use mock catalogues based on the GALICS model (Hatton et al. 03) to explore the nature of galaxy clustering observed in the SDSS. We measure low and high order angular clustering statistic from these mock catalogues, after selecting galaxies the same way as for observations, and compare them directly to estimates from SDSS data. Note that we also present measurements of S3-S5 on the SDSS DR1. We find that our model is in general good agreement with observations in the scale/luminosity range where we can trust the predictions. This range is found to be limited (i) by the size of the dark matter simulation used -- which introduces finite volume effects at large scales -- and by the mass resolution of this simulation -- which introduces incompleteness at apparent magnitudes fainter than $r\sim 20$. We then focus on the small scale clustering properties of galaxies and investigate the behaviour of three different prescriptions for positioning galaxies within haloes of dark matter. We show that galaxies are poor tracers both of DM particles or DM sub-structures, within groups and clusters. Instead, SDSS data tells us that the distribution of galaxies lies somewhat in between these two populations. This confirms the general theoretical expectation from numerical simulations and semi-analytic modelling.

Distributed data analysis with ROOT RDataFrame

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Widespread distributed processing of big datasets has been around for more than a decade now thanks to Hadoop, but only recently higher-level abstractions have been proposed for programmers to easily operate on those datasets, e.g. Spark. ROOT has joined that trend with its RDataFrame tool for declarative analysis, which currently supports local multi-threaded parallelisation. However, RDataFrame's programming model is general enough to accommodate multiple implementations or backends: users could write their code once and execute it as is locally or distributedly, just by selecting the corresponding backend. This abstract introduces PyRDF, a new python library developed on top of RDataFrame to seamlessly switch from local to distributed environments in a transparent way for users. Programmers are provided with ergonomic interfaces, integrated with web-based services, which allow to dynamically plug in new resources, as well as to write, execute, monitor and debug distributed applications in the most intuitive way possible.

Creators: name: Gonzales, Tanya Ana

Subjects: Colonization -- Historiography

description: This dissertation maps and disrupts Euro-American travel literature about Spanish mestizos from a decolonized position. For almost three centuries, Euro-American travel narratives claimed to tell the truth about the Spanish mestizos of Santa Fe. A textual analysis of 17th, 18th, and 19th century travel literature about Santa Fe, reveals a racial project that worked to normalize white supremacy. Clearly reflected in these travel accounts is the racialized colonial thinking of first Spanish and then Euro-American white culture. The narratives involving Spain and New Spain reveal imperial attitudes about Native Americans and Mestizos, while the Euro-American narratives are almost entirely embedded with the nineteenth century's ideology of Manifest Destiny. This violent genre of literature, which contributed generations of damage to the name and social status of the Spanish mestizos it disparages, is useful only for reading against the grain. Reading against the grain, this dissertation juxtaposes Chicano/Spanish-mestizo experience, community, and culture against the hegemonic stories of the dominant culture. It interrogates and disrupts the normalization of white supremacy. Using Spanish mestizo eyewitness accounts, this dissertation speaks back to, and counters the Euro-American master narrative. Revealed through the course of this examination, is the colonizer's pattern of invoking "civilization" as an alibi to invade and conquer. By disrupting such narratives, a Chicano point-of-view is extracted, presenting a very different story - and a history for the twenty-first century

description: My great grandad, Raymond Fredrick Petts, was born on the 25th May 1922 in Lewisham, Greater London. In WW2 he was a Wellington Bomber pilot in the RAF. He flew in many missions including night missions over the North Sea bombing boats from the German Navy. The RAF then loaned him to the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) to train their pilots. Whilst in Canada he was in 415 Squadron. He met my great grandma, Beryl Frances Bradbury, during the war when he was based at Heaton Park, and they got married 20th March 1944. My great grandma was in the WRNS (Women's Royal Naval Service). My great grandad went on to be a teacher then the headteacher of Bury Church of England High School. He died on the 4th February 1990.
The role of media literacy and pro-health entertainment programs in changing adolescents' perceptions of alcohol and alcohol advertising

Year: 2008
Subjects: Media literacy

description: With an increasing attention to entertainment-education in its applicability to health promotion in the U.S., children educated in more than two decades of media literacy movements might have a seemingly different perspective toward the media. One burning question of whether we should teach children and adolescents to critically examine media messages and forgo the potentially artistic or educational values of the media needs to be addressed. With a mixture of positive and negative alcohol messages in the media, can media literacy and pro-health entertainment work together in the context of alcohol prevention education? Experiment 1 examined the implications of a critical and a balanced approach to media literacy and found that adolescent boys and girls had different degrees of receptiveness to the instructional perspectives. A critical media literacy lesson made adolescent boys think characters on television as less realistic and believe that drinking alcohol had negative consequences. Adolescent girls benefited from a balanced evaluative approach as their media skepticism attitude was enhanced. Evaluative approaches also impacted adolescents' interpretations of pro-health entertainment programs. Adolescent boys continuously gained the most from a critical perspective as they trusted the alcohol misuse consequences depicted in the shows and in fact had a heightened level of media skepticism, which was not immediately observable after receiving the media education. The balanced media evaluative approach helped adolescent girls' think twice about the media as they still had a significant level of media skepticism. Experiment 2, employing a simplified media education that only focused on television programs, found that a positive evaluative approach to media literacy increased adolescents' media skepticism and it also had crucial influences on other key decisionmaking process. Overall, different evaluative approaches to media literacy were found to have varying degree of effectiveness and ineffectiveness on adolescent boys' and girls' interpretation of alcohol and pro-health entertainment programs. Media literacy advocates are challenged to explore what defines media literacy. Systematic evaluations of media literacy concerning adolescents' sex, learning styles, and cognitive needs should be provided to enhance our understanding of the implications media education has on adolescents' health decision-making with regard to alcohol.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We analyze a quantized toy model of a universe undergoing eternal inflation using a quantum-field-theoretical formulation of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. This so-called third quantization method leads to the picture that the eternally inflating universe is converted to a multiverse in which sub-universes are created and exhibit a distinctive phase in their evolution before reaching an asymptotic de Sitter phase. From the perspective of one of these sub-universes, we can thus analyze the pre-inflationary phase that arises naturally. Assuming that our observable universe is represented by one of those sub-universes, we calculate how this pre-inflationary phase influences the power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and analyze whether it can explain the observed discrepancy of the power spectrum on large scales, i.e. the quadrupole issue in the CMB. While the answer to this question is negative in the specific model analyzed here, we point out a possible resolution of this issue.

description: We present an investigation of galaxy-galaxy interactions and their effects on the velocity fields of disc galaxies in combined N-body/hydrodynamic simulations, which include cooling, star formation with feedback, and galactic winds. Rotation curves (RCs) of the gas are extracted from these simulations in a way that follows the procedure applied to observations of distant, small, and faint galaxies as closely as possible. We show that galaxy-galaxy mergers and fly-bys disturb the velocity fields significantly and hence the RCs of the interacting galaxies, leading to asymmetries and distortions in the RCs. Typical features of disturbed kinematics are significantly rising or falling profiles in the direction of the companion galaxy and pronounced bumps in the RCs. In addition, tidal tails can leave strong imprints on the rotation curve. All these features are observable for intermediate redshift galaxies, on which we focus our investigations. We use a quantitative measure for the asymmetry of rotation curves to show that the appearance of these distortions strongly depends on the viewing angle. We also find in this way that the velocity fields settle back into relatively undisturbed equilibrium states after unequal mass mergers and fly-bys. About 1 Gyr after the first encounter, the RCs show no severe distortions anymore. These results are consistent with previous theoretical and observational studies. As an illustration of our results, we compare our simulated velocity fields and direct images with rotation curves from VLT/FORS spectroscopy and ACS images of a cluster at z=0.53 and find remarkable similarities.

General Adiabatic Evolution with a Gap Condition

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

subject: 34G10; 81Q20

description: We consider the adiabatic regime of two parameters evolution semigroups generated by linear operators that are analytic in time and satisfy the following gap condition for all times: the spectrum of the generator consists in finitely many isolated eigenvalues of finite algebraic multiplicity, away from the rest of the spectrum. The restriction of the generator to the spectral subspace corresponding to the distinguished eigenvalues is not assumed to be diagonalizable. The presence of eigenilpotents in the spectral decomposition of the generator forbids the evolution to follow the instantaneous eigenprojectors of the generator in the adiabatic limit. Making use of superadiabatic renormalization, we construct a different set of time-dependent projectors, close to the instantaneous eigeprojectors of the generator in the adiabatic limit, and an approximation of the evolution semigroup which intertwines exactly between the values of these projectors at the initial and final times. Hence, the evolution semigroup follows the constructed set of projectors in the adiabatic regime, modulo error terms we control.

We do not observe any 2-state signal in the distribution function of the plaquette expectation value at the deconfining phase transition. The observed finite-size scaling behavior is consistent with a second order phase transition. The obtained value of the critical exponent is nu =0.366(12) and thus neither Gaussian (nu = 0.5) nor discontinuous (nu=0.25) type, indicating a nontrivial continuum limit.

description: We present 2271 radial velocity measurements taken on 118 single-line binary stars, taken over eight years with the CORALIE spectrograph. The binaries consist of F/G/K primaries and M-dwarf secondaries. They were initially discovered photometrically by the WASP planet survey, as their shallow eclipses mimic a hot-Jupiter transit. The observations we present permit a precise characterisation of the binary orbital elements and mass function. With modelling of the primary star this mass function is converted to a mass of the secondary star. In the future, this spectroscopic work will be combined with precise photometric eclipses to draw an empirical mass/radius relation for the bottom of the mass sequence. This has applications in both stellar astrophysics and the growing number of exoplanet surveys around M-dwarfs. In particular, we have discovered 34 systems with a secondary mass below $0.2 M_\odot$, and so we will ultimately double the known number of very low-mass stars with well characterised mass and radii. We are able to detect eccentricities as small as 0.001 and orbital periods to sub-second precision. Our sample can revisit some earlier work on the tidal evolution of close binaries, extending it to low mass ratios. We find some binaries that are eccentric at orbital periods < 3 days, while our longest circular orbit has a period of 10.4 days. By collating the EBLM binaries with published WASP planets and brown dwarfs, we derive a mass spectrum with twice the resolution of previous work. We compare the WASP/EBLM sample of tightly-bound orbits with work in the literature on more distant companions up to 10 AU. We note that the brown dwarf desert appears wider, as it carves into the planetary domain for our short-period orbits. This would mean that a significantly reduced abundance of planets begins at $\sim 3M_{\rm Jup}$, well before the Deuterium-burning limit. [abridged]

description:
Accurately estimating stream discharge is crucial for many ecological, biogeochemical, and hydrologic analyses. As of September 2022, The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) provided up to 5 years of continuous discharge estimates at 28 streams across the United States. NEON created rating curves at each site in a Bayesian framework, parameterized using hydraulic controls and manual measurements of discharge. Here we evaluate the reliability of these discharge estimates with three approaches. We (1) compared predicted to observed discharge, (2) compared predicted to observed stage, and (3) calculated the proportion of discharge estimates extrapolated beyond field measurements. We considered 1,523 site-months of continuous streamflow predictions published by NEON. Of these, 39% met our highest quality criteria, 11% fell into an intermediate classification, and 50% of site-months were classified as unreliable. We provided diagnostic metrics and categorical evaluations of continuous discharge and stage estimates by month for each site, enabling users to rapidly query for suitable NEON data.

description: We present the latest determination of the X-ray (2-10 keV) AGN luminosity function accounting for the selection effect due to X-ray absorption. The main results are: 1) the inclusion of obscured AGN confirms the AGN differential luminosity evolution, but makes it less extreme than what is found selecting unobscured AGN in soft X-rays, and more similar to a pure luminosity evolution; 2) significant correlations are found between the fraction of obscured sources, the luminosity and the redshift, this fraction increasing toward both low AGN luminosities and high redshifts. We discuss our findings in a scenario for the formation and evolution of the structure in the Universe where the bulk of nuclear activity is produced at z=1-2. At the same redshifts also the star-formation rate reaches a maximum, and this age can therefore be regarded as the "golden age" for nuclear and galaxy activity. We discuss the current observational limits of this program and the improvements needed to obtain an unbiased census of the AGN and super-massive black hole (SMBH) population.

Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

title: Characteristics that make principals effective leaders

Subjects: Educational leadership -- Public opinion

description: This paper outlines the research problem, reviews literature, describes research methods and presents findings addressing the research topic "Characteristics that make principals effective leaders. A study of teacher perceptions of principal leadership." This study, building on Blase and Blase's (1999a, 1999b, 2002, 2003a, 2003b) research, used a hand-written and web based open-ended questionnaire inviting teachers to reflect on leadership characteristics they deemed important to their school's success and their own success as an educator. Results suggested that teacher language mirrored the literature about principal effectiveness, although teachers tended to emphasize support, communication, visibility, feedback, personal qualities, leadership traits and building school relationships rather than student outcomes and how principals contributed to them.
Stability of fractional Chern insulators in the effective continuum limit of Harper-Hofstadter bands with Chern number $|C|>1$

description: We study the stability of composite fermion fractional quantum Hall states in Harper-Hofstadter bands with Chern number $|C|>1$. We analyze the states of the composite fermion series for bosons with contact interactions and (spinless) fermions with nearest-neighbor interactions. We examine the scaling of the many-body gap as the bands are tuned to the effective continuum limit $n_ϕ\to 1/|C|$. Near these points, the Hofstadter model realises large magnetic unit cells that yield bands with perfectly flat dispersion and Berry curvature. We exploit the known scaling of energies in the effective continuum limit in order to maintain a fixed square aspect ratio in finite-size calculations. Based on exact diagonalization calculations of the band-projected Hamiltonian, we show that almost all finite-size spectra yield the ground-state degeneracy predicted by composite fermion theory. We confirm that states at low ranks in the composite fermion hierarchy are the most robust and yield a clear gap in the thermodynamic limit. For bosons in $|C|=2$ and $|C|=3$ bands, our data for the composite fermion states are compatible with a finite gap in the thermodynamic limit. We also report new evidence for gapped incompressible states of fermions in $|C|>1$ bands, which have large entanglement gaps. For cases with a clear spectral gap, we confirm that the thermodynamic limit commutes with the effective continuum limit. We analyze the nature of the correlation functions for the Abelian composite fermion states and find that they feature $|C|^2$ smooth sheets. We examine two cases associated with a bosonic integer quantum Hall effect (BIQHE): For $ν=2$ in $|C|=1$ bands, we find a strong competing state with a higher ground-state degeneracy, so no clear BIQHE is found in the band-projected Hofstadter model; for $ν=1$ in $|C|=2$ bands, we present additional data confirming the existence of a BIQHE state.

Numerical simulation of random paths with a curvature dependent action

description: We study an ensemble of closed random paths, embedded in R^3, with a curvature dependent action. Previous analytical results indicate that there is no crumpling transition for any finite value of the curvature coupling. Nevertheless, in a high statistics numerical simulation, we observe two different regimes for the specific heat separated by a rather smooth structure. The analysis of this fact warns us about the difficulties in the interpretation of numerical results obtained in cases where theoretical results are absent and a high statistics simulation is unreachable. This may be the case of random surfaces.

description: Spin-orbit coupling is a single-particle phenomenon known to generate topological order, and electron-electron interactions cause ordered many-body phases to exist. The rich interplay of these two mechanisms is present in a broad range of materials, and has been the subject of considerable ongoing research and controversy. Here we demonstrate that interacting two-dimensional electron systems with strong spin-orbit coupling exhibit a variety of time reversal symmetry breaking phases with unconventional spin alignment. We first prove that a Stoner-type criterion can be formulated for the spin polarization response to an electric field, which predicts that the spin polarization susceptibility diverges at a certain value of the electron-electron interaction strength. The divergence indicates the possibility of unconventional ferromagnetic phases even in the absence of any applied electric or magnetic field. This leads us, in the second part of this work, to study interacting Rashba spin-orbit coupled semiconductors in equilibrium in the Hartree-Fock approximation as a generic minimal model. Using classical Monte-Carlo simulations we construct the complete phase diagram of the system as a function of density and spin-orbit coupling strength. It includes both an out-of-plane spin polarized phase and in-plane spin-polarized phases with shifted Fermi surfaces and rich spin textures, reminiscent of the Pomeranchuk instability, as well as two different Fermi-liquid phases having one and two Fermi surfaces, respectively, which are separated by a Lifshitz transition. We discuss possibilities for experimental observation and useful application of these novel phases, especially in the context of electric-field-controlled macroscopic spin polarizations.
